The model that I have put together suggests that the numbers of people in need of ALC is going to continue to climb for quite awhile.....at the same time, the number of people available to work will be declining. My model does not take into account immigration or emigration.
I've been doing demographic modelling of western NL with my students for several years. The bulge in ALC needs has been visible for a long time and my second year students could see it. If they could, so could people in the gov. Noone acted when they should have, and now we are approaching a crisis.

Been here for awhile ... Just reading.
I was thinking the same.
The ROM has the skeleton of another blue whale that washed ashore in Trout River, Newfoundland. The Trout River and Rocky Harbour blue whales were two of nine blue whales that drowned in the Gulf of St. Lawrence in 2014 during a winter with extreme ice cover.
This is the whale on the rocky intertidal in Rocky Harbour, Newfoundland. It was moved to a boat launch where the animal was processed. The skeleton was processed and is on display at Memorial University of Newfoundland.
This heart is from 1 of 9 blue whales that drowned in the Gulf of St. Lawrence in 2014. The Gulf was heavily iced that winter and the whales could not surface to breath. No one killed it.
"Fieldwork-based research and education in ecology are under multiple threats and are progressively declining."
This issue is linked to the erosion of natural history training in general.
This image shows the hourglass shape of the nights shortening and lengthening from winter to summer and from summer to winter, passing clouds, the Moon passing through the night sky every month (diagonal bands) and the Sun climbing higher in the sky during summer.
For the 4th year in a row, my all-sky camera has been taking an image of the sky above the Netherlands every 15 seconds. Combining these images reveal the length of the night changing throughout the year, the passage of clouds and the motion of the Moon and the Sun through the sky. #astrophotography
This graph speaks volumes to the pride Atlantic Canadians take in their sovereignty. From Churchill Falls to the cod fishery to our s91 rights, our autonomy is something that Atlantic Canadians must heretofore refuse to barter

I used cemeteries to collect age at death data for a class I was teaching in Worcester, MA. We often came across family grave sites where sets of siblings were buried, all dead within weeks to months of one another.

I think ptarmigan are fond of them, and ptarmigan are referred to as Patridge here....so locally relevant name I guess. And yeah I like the name too.
And cloudberry is called bake apple. I've heard that's from the French... baie q'appele ...what berry is this.
Lingonberries. In Newfoundland we call them partridge berries. I call them pucker berries.
I've used Pavo 2 (R package) to look at fish colour, but it might also be useful for what you are doing. doi.org/10.1111/2041...
Nicely done, thank you.
You beat me to it....
A pale blue lobster rests on the bottom of an aquarium tank. It's recently shed exoskeleton is nearby.
Another cool lobster from last summer. This pale blue critter moulted while a summer student was talking to a bunch of tourist about the genetics of lobster colour. You can see the shed exoskeleton to the right. #invert
I think the Atlantic Salmon Federation used to do stream side incubation to supplement some New Brunswick streams.
