The Spanish Civil War: Propaganda and the manipulation of truth...An examination of bias and the devious misrepresentation of facts underlying the recording and interpretation of events that occurred before, during and after the Spanish Civil War (1936-1939), with specific reference to individual protagonists and events in the northern enclave of the province of Santander and the potential impact of this on the credibility of much of the historical narrative of the Francoist era… Show more The Spanish Civil War: Propaganda and the manipulation of truth...An examination of bias and the devious misrepresentation of facts underlying the recording and interpretation of events that occurred before, during and after the Spanish Civil War (1936-1939), with specific reference to individual protagonists and events in the northern enclave of the province of Santander and the potential impact of this on the credibility of much of the historical narrative of the Francoist era throughout the whole of Spain.

Dr. Stewart Massie was appointed Technical Director in 2009. Atlantic Bow is no longer trading and has been removed from the Register of Companies following the death of Alex Grant and the retirement of the other directors.We specialised in market research, risk management, open and distance learning, as well as research into combining information and communications technologies with legal, financial, commercial, educational and other professional services.We have worked largely, but not exclusively, in the fishing, seafood and aquaculture sectors. In particular, our EC funded report "The Seafood Industry of the Highlands and Islands of Scotland and the West Coast: The Problems of Remoteness in a European Context" (EC Ref. UK-11-Focus, August 1997) had a major impact on the UK seafood industry and has been the basis of much of our subsequent work to date.We were awarded an FIFG grant to carry out an "innovation" development project that looked at the question of the standardisation of data to facilitate data exchange across the seafood industry as a "proof of concept" project. To demonstrate the practical application of the draft standard specification that was developed, there was focus on quality management, compliance certification and audit in the field of organic aquaculture. This was successfully completed in June 2008.We had re-structured the company with a view to developing computer applications based on the AI engine that has evolved from my independent academic research at Heriot-Watt university and subsequent work on the AQuaManage project. Covid, financial and commercial constraints that affected our development partners in Spain and the sad death of director Alexander Grant meant an end to the project. Show less

Sadly, this project has been discontinued due to Covid, financial and commercial constraints experienced by Spanish project partners, and the sad death of Alexander Grant, one of the founding directors. Consequently, the company has been removed from the Register of Companies.
