ThrowRaft Inventor Makes Guest Appearance at The Patent Professor’s Book Signing Event

December 27, 2017 International News

Over 50 VIP guests were given a first-hand account of Troy’s near death experience when his boat sank 9 miles offshore. In a miraculous tale of survival, he spent 9 hours swimming back to shore which ultimately led him to conceive, build and market the world’s first throwable inflatable device, approved by the U.S. Coast Guard, that is no bigger than a small purse. Mr. Faletra personally demonstrated the product by throwing it towards the crowd who watched fascinated as the device self-inflated within a second or two of being released. click here to read the story 10:45

The New England groundfish debacle (Part III): who or what is at fault? Nils E. Stolpe/FishNet

It took me a while to decide how to most accurately describe the situation that has been visited upon the New England fishing communities that are and since colonial times have been dependent on the groundfish fisheries.

NILS STOLPE: The New England groundfish debacle (Part IV): Is cutting back harvest really the answer?

While it’s a fact that’s hardly ever acknowledged, the assumption in fisheries management is that if the population of a stock of fish isn’t at some arbitrary level, it’s because of too much fishing. Hence the term “overfished.” Hence the mandated knee jerk reaction of the fisheries managers to not enough fish; cut back on fishing. What of other factors? They don’t count. It’s all about fishing, because fishing is all that the managers can control; it’s their Maslow’s Hammer.
