Lost Canadians file petition challenging federal government's interpretation of citizenship history
Federal Green Party leader Elizabeth May filed a petition today on behalf of the Lost Canadians, a citizenship advocacy group, challenging the federal government's version of the history of Canadian citizenship. The government must respond to the petition within 60 days.
Lost Canadians are a group of legitimate Canadians who have been denied citizenship due to obscure provisions of previous laws, which discriminate based on age, gender, ethnicity and marital status.
Last month, a spokesperson for Citizenship and Immigration Canada suggested the legal concept of Canadian citizenship has existed only since January 1, 1947 — the date that Canada's Citizenship Act came into effect.
"History does not support that assertion," Citizenship advocate Don Chapman said in a news release. "The government's position seems to be that Canadian citizenship was created ex nihilo on Jan. 1, 1947. In fact, the term 'Canadian citizen' has been part of the statute law since 1910, not 1947."
Based on the federal government's interpretation of citizenship, numerous people — including war veterans' children — are not legally Canadian citizens. Former citizenship minister Jason Kenney and current citizenship minister Chris Alexander have both asserted that Canadians were all British subjects prior to 1947. Surrey resident Jackie Scott — who was born in 1945 to a Canadian veteran and British war bride — was repeatedly denied citizenship despite having lived for decades in Canada, on the premise that her Ontario-born father was not a citizen in the year she was born. She is presently suing the federal government to obtain her citizenship documents.
"So what they're basically saying is that people like Sir John A. Macdonald and (Nobel prize winner) Sir Frederick Banting were basically a couple of British subjects, and not Canadian citizens," he said. Chapman said it would mean that every Canadian soldier who died before 1947 for the country was not officially a citizen, which he says is historically inaccurate.
"Prime Minister Stephen Harper is looking like he may go down in history as a Prime Minister who did not know what a Canadian citizen is."
Chapman said that archival documents show that the term 'Canadian citizen' was used by the federal government numerous times prior to 1947. A document given to soldiers by the Department of National Defence in 1943, for example, told them that they would be fighting the war as citizens of Canada.
"This debate is essentially a three-way collision between history, politics and law," Chapman said.
"The case of Jackie Scott, now before the federal court, turns in part on this question: Was the Canadian Citizenship Act 1946 a complete break with the past, or did it build on what came before? And if Canadian soldiers of the Second World War (including Ms. Scott's father) were told that they were fighting as Canadian citizens, why is the government now telling us they were not?"

Turning plastic into foam to combat pollution
Researchers have developed a method to turn biodegradable plastic knives, spoons, and forks into a foam that can be used as insulation in walls or in flotation devices. The investigators placed the cutlery into a chamber filled with carbon dioxide. As pressure increased, the gas dissolved into the plastic. When they suddenly released the pressure in the chamber, the carbon dioxide expanded within the plastic, creating foaming.

I am an Autodesk Inventor user trying to learn SW and I am trying to recreate a specific 3d sketch that I have done in Inventor. Best way to explain is to show how I've done it:
simple sketch in front plane:
a few concentric circular segments in top plane:
extruded surfaces of the circular segments:
creating a 3d sketch by wrapping the first sketch to the first surface (I need to have the projected line segments 'equal' with equal 'angles' and distance between the points.):
final result - in the same 3d sketch, the first 3d projection is projected 'normal' to the other concentric surfaces:
Is it possible to do this in SolidWorks?
I don't need any solids, the final result will be the 3d sketch, used for a CNC toolpath generation.

Halloween is coming, and together with its atmosphere of mystery and scary stories, there is a feeling of magic at this time of year. The spookiest and most magical places in the world are often those that have been abandoned, often for centuries. We have created a guide to show you the most beautiful (and spookiest) abandoned places in the world. If haunted houses exist, these are the places where you are most likely to find spirits.
This majestic ghost town has a long history with some scary stories behind it. The area has a long history, which stretches back to its early beginnings in 540 AD. In the 20th century, the town was evacuated due to a lack of food during a drought. In fact, the area had a string of bad luck. In 1963, the area suffered a landslide, and then in 1972, terrible flooding led to the city becoming abandoned altogether. You may remember the town's majestic and mysterious look from movies such as The Passion of the Christ (where the town was used as the scene for Judas' hanging), or from James Bond's Quantum of Solace.
A landmark of Semarang, Central Java, Lawang Sewu (which translates to "Thousand Doors") is a former Dutch colonial era building rumored to be haunted by headless ghosts. This largely deserted structure is open to the public 24 hours a day, so if you're looking for a scare this Halloween, why not take a midnight visit?
Gougi Island, China
Gougi Island is a fishing village in the Zhoushan Archipelago. Fishing used to be a primary industry in this region, but with the development of other industries (e.g. shipbuilding, shipping, and tourism), many fishing villages became abandoned. Most of the buildings on Gougi Island are now covered with green ivy and have been given the nickname "the Wizard of Oz's dream."
The Metropolitan Theater, Philippines
Completed in 1931, the Metropolitan Theater played host to different theatrical performances in its heyday, which included Zarzuelas, operas, and concerts. "The Met" sustained partial damage during World War II, but after the war, the Art Deco building was undeservedly used for some other events; as a boxing arena, a low-quality motel, and even a home for illegal settlers.
The Met was renovated in 1978, reclaiming its prestige as a cultural center, although this was short-lived. It closed its doors in 1996 due to a conflict of ownership between the Manila City government and the Government Service Insurance System (GSIS). Plans for a revival in 2010 ultimately did not push through, and while sporadically used in 2011, the Met has been closed since 2012.
Dundas Castle, USA
Dundas Castle was designed by architect Ralph Wurts-Dundas for his wife Josephine Harmar. Mr Dundas died before the project was completed and his wife was committed to a sanatorium and therefore never had a chance to live in it. The building looks like it was taken from a medieval fairy tale but its construction actually began in 1907 and it's located in New York. Legends say that Mr Dundas' wife used to ride on a horseback through the town of Roscoe and was imprisoned in the castle. There is little evidence she lived in the castle's unfurnished rooms, but her ghost is said to watch over the property.
Marroquín Castle, Colombia
This stunning mansion, built in 1904 near the Colombian city of Chía, was used as an asylum for several years. Allegedly, the castle is haunted by the ghost of a nun who once worked there, numerous patients who met their demise in the asylum, and 'La Zancona,' a mysterious woman dressed in all black, who roams the building.
The Island of the Dolls, Mexico
Xochimilco, a district just south of Mexico City, is home to a number of artificial islands and canals, one of which was owned by a caretaker named Julian Santana Barrera. When Barrera discovered the body of a young girl in one of the canals near his island, he began to collect dolls to hang around the island to ward off any evil spirits, and to make the young girl happy. The island, known as Isla de las Munecas (Island of the Dolls), is now visited by thousands of tourists a year, who bring dolls to carry on Barrera's work.
Maunsell Army Sea Forts, England
Created and used during World War II, Maunsell Army Sea Forts are armed towers which were built to protect the United Kingdom. They were decommissioned in the late 1950s and for a short time served as offshore sites for pirate radio stations. Now they are completely abandoned and rather spooky shells from the past.
Temple of Santiago, Mexico
This Roman Catholic Church was abandoned because of a smallpox epidemic during the 18th century. After that, it was never used for ecclesiastical purposes again. In 1966, the Temple was completely submerged after the Nezahualcoyotl Reservoir was completed from the construction of the Malpaso Dam. It has reappeared periodically. Incredibly, in 2002, the water levels were so low that the church floor was dry. Currently, the water level is approximately 80 feet.
Mohatta Palace, Pakistan
Located in Karachi, the Mohatta Palace is an elaborate, pink and yellow stone building, consisting of 18,500 square yards. Legend has it that there is a superhuman presence at the palace, with guides believing that the building is haunted. Whilst on guard, workers are rumored to have felt the presence of spirits, and experienced objects moving without human touch.

ABOUT the ART
Impressionism is the 19th-century art movement that is now known for its vast collection of oil paintings. The identification of these paintings can be done by observing small and thin brush strokes. Generally, Impressionist paintings had an open composition and depicted light in an accurate manner.
It was developed by French artists. The famous Impressionist artists of this period, such as Claude Monet and Edgar Degas broke the conventional rules of art and captured light and movement in their own unconventional manner. This movement changed the course of art history.

The Meaning and Meaningfulness of Corporate Social Initiatives
35 Pages Posted: 10 Jun 2008
In response to pressures to be more socially responsible, corporations are becoming more active in global communities through direct involvement in social initiatives. Critics, however, question the sincerity of these activities and argue that firms are simply attempting to stave off stakeholder pressures without providing a corresponding benefit to society. By drawing on institutional theory and resource dependence theory, we consider what factors influence the adoption of a meaningful social initiative - an initiative that is sustainable and has the potential for a significant positive impact on society - as opposed to a symbolic initiative. In addition, we raise the question of how social initiatives - both meaningful and symbolic - participate in the institutional war over the meaning of corporate social responsibility.

Fungus Drone Completes First Flight
Ryan Simmons / 6 years ago
A NASA drone made out of fungus, yes fungus, has completed it's first flight.
The drone consists largely of material made from mushrooms, specifically mycelium, a material that can be made to grow into any shape. This is then covered with cellulose before being coated in the proteins used by wasps to cover their nests. Everything, apart from the motors and batteries, were designed to be completely biodegradable. This would be incredibly beneficial when flying drones through environmentally sensitive areas, where a crashed drone could result in devastating contamination.
The drone could also aid surveillance missions, where the traces left by a grounded drone could lead to an international incident.

Brewer's Yeast
Brewer's yeast is made from a one-celled fungus called Saccharomyces cerevisiae and is used to make beer. It is also grown specifically to make nutritional supplements and has been used for years as such.
It is a rich source of minerals -- particularly chromium, an essential trace mineral that helps the body maintain normal blood sugar levels, selenium, protein, and the B-complex vitamins B1 (thiamine), B2 (riboflavin), B3 (niacin), B5 (pantothenic acid), B6 (pyridoxine), B9 (folic acid), and H or B7 (biotin). These help break down carbohydrates, fats, and proteins, which provide the body with energy. They also support the nervous system, help maintain the muscles used for digestion, and keep skin, hair, eyes, mouth, and liver healthy.
It tastes bitter and should not be confused with baker's yeast, nutritional yeast, or torula yeast. All those types of yeast are low in chromium.
Despite vegetarians' belief to the contrary, brewer's yeast does not contain vitamin B12, an essential vitamin found in meat and dairy products.

The Director-General of UNESCO, Koïchiro Matsuura, today expressed his deep regret at the destruction of Québec's ancient drill hall, a landmark adjacent to the Historic District of Old Québec, which was inscribed on UNESCO's World Heritage List in 1985.
"I deeply regret the destruction of this important landmark," said the Director-General. "It is particularly sad that this proud testimony of Québec's history was so severely damaged on the eve of the celebration of the 400th anniversary of the founding of Québec City."
"It is doubly poignant that this loss should occur at a time when Canada is showing great and generous commitment to heritage preservation with its preparations to host the next session of the World Heritage Committee in July," the Director-General declared. "I hope that it will be possible to rebuild the ancient drill hall using existing plans and photographs," he concluded.
Built of brick and timber in 1887, the landmark burnt down on 4 April. Only one brick wall, the main entrance and two towers remained after the blaze whose cause has yet to be determined.

|Just as children start their education in nursery schools, so too do many trees begin to grow from seed and sapling in a nursery environment.|
A valuable and beneficial link between tree nurseries and schools is being forged by Self Help in Uganda, where new links are being forged between tree production and local school institutions.
The introduction of measures to address the rapid depletion of Uganda's woodlands is high on the agenda for Self Help's country operations, and the project sees the developing of tree nurseries within the school environment as a sustainable and effective way to establish the initiative.
Establishing tree seedling nurseries in local schools has a multiple benefit - as it provides a central location where seedlings can be reared, promotes the initiative amongst students and their parents, and also raises awareness amongst future generations of the importance of natural resource management.
School teachers are provided with training in nursery management, and are encouraged to educate and train the children in growing methods, and in the huge importance of natural resource management.

Better Learning Through Game Design
The World Wide Workshop's six-year-old social learning network, Globaloria, is designed to teach science, technology, engineering, and math (STEM) skills through hands-on game design and programming.
With Globaloria, students in grades 6 through 12 use Adobe Creative Suite software to design and program games about STEM-related topics, social issues, environmental issues, civics, or music. For example, students created a game called House Fixers 2, where players have to reduce fractions before an animated house collapses, and Tiger Savior, a safari-themed game about the environmental threats facing tigers. Students use Adobe Flash Professional to design and program the games, Adobe Photoshop to design game characters, Adobe Illustrator to create game elements, and Adobe Fireworks to create special effects.
Established in 2006, Globaloria provides a self-paced digital curriculum where students work through the entire game development process from their original idea to finished product. It's available in two implementation models: The school-based program requires 100 to 150 hours, while the after school or summer program is a shorter course that requires 40 to 80 hours to complete. According to Globaloria, educators can integrate the program into core curriculum, subject enrichment, or elective classes to encourage deeper mastery of the subject matter, or they can offer it as a stand-alone technology class.
"Many students who never learned to code before and who never thought of themselves as programmers are delving into coding through their use of Flash in the course of their Globaloria experience," said Idit Harel Caperton, president and founder of the World Wide Workshop, in a prepared statement. "We have built a highly structured, yet user-friendly and playful environment for youth to take their first steps into computer science and software engineering."
Key features of Globaloria include:
- Customizable curriculum;
- 360-degree learning system for students, teachers, and principals;
- STEM content and skill-building;
- Professional development and mentoring; and
- Technical support.
Further information about the program is available on the Globaloria site.

Jewish Shelter Home
The Jewish Shelter Home in Portland, Oregon, was listed in the National Register of Historic Places on June 14, 1984. The home, constructed around 1902, is important for its importance as an early Jewish humanitarian institution in Portland and for its association with important Jewish American citizens and institutions responsible for the legal, political and social development of Oregon. First built as a family residence for United States Marshall Elmer Colwell and his family, it was purchased in 1919 for use as the Jewish Shelter Home.
The home itself is a stylistic anagram of the Queen Anne and Colonial Revival architecture styles, rectangular in plan, with basement, first floor, second floor, and an attic accessible by stairs. An L-shaped veranda wraps around the east and south sides of the house with columns, cornice, and frieze resembling the Tuscan order. The Shelter Home itself consisted of a large kitchen, living room, dining room and playroom on the main floor. The upper level consisted of five bedrooms and two baths. To the rear of the house was an isolation hospital with housing capacity for four children. It was considered effective in the containment of communicable disease, often a threat to young children. Activities in the Isolation Hospital were discussed frequently in the Shelter's Home minute book after 1921. It was here that the four volunteer doctors would attend the children. The Isolation Hospital now connected to the west end of the house was built as a separate structure around 1920.
The Jewish Shelter Home could obtain legal custody of children and place them for adoption. Though it was never considered an orphanage, the Home was operated with a mixture of paternalism and very professional welfare techniques. When an application for admission to the Home was received, careful biographical records were taken, a staff physician administered a complete physical examination, and the child was given a mental health test. After 1924, cases were screened for admittance by a professional social worker provided by the Jewish Welfare Federation, and periodic medical services were provided on a volunteer basis by a group of four Jewish doctors.
After purchasing the Shelter Home, its founders elected a board of directors and drafted articles of incorporation to guide its operation. The Shelter Home provided the Jewish immigrant district a certain continuity and support –the Shelter Home allowed Jewish children of disrupted family backgrounds a Jewish upbringing which they quite possibly would have missed had they been placed in a state-operated orphanage. In the course of a year, 18 to 20 children would pass through the house; each staying whatever time was necessary. This process was extremely important to the maintenance of Jewish culture and society in South Portland.
The children at the Jewish Shelter Home were afforded contact with the large population of Portland's influential Jews as well as the large number of children living in the South Portland neighborhood. The Home's board of directors wished to raise the children entrusted to them in a Jewish atmosphere and so sent the children to Chanukah parties and Passover services in neighborhood homes whenever possible. While the children did not attend public school, most were enrolled at the Hebrew School at Neighborhood House, which was in close proximity and also listed in the National Register for its similar public service roll in the South Portland neighborhood.
The home, often operating on a limited budget, depended on the volunteer services of men like Israel Dautoff, Hip Shank, and Max Turtledove, all of whom had successful businesses in South Portland. Mrs. Jeanette Meier, wife of Aaron Meier, the founder of Oregon's largest department store, took a great interest in the Jewish Shelter Home and assisted its operation by raising funds, donating money for special projects and hosting parties there.
Oregon Governor Julius Meier, son of Aaron and Jeanette Meier, and Chief Executive Officer of Meier and Frank Department Store, was the President of the Jewish Shelter Home Board from its beginning until 1933. He maintained a strong interest in the home even during his term as Oregon's Governor (_PHONE_), while he continued to serve as its Board President. Board meetings were held at his office in the Meier and Frank Store where either himself or Aaron Frank would preside.
The Jewish Shelter home was one of eight Jewish immigrant benevolent agencies held under the umbrella of the Federated Jewish Societies of Portland during the 1930s (the other agencies included the First Hebrew Benevolent Society, the Jewish relief Society, the Jewish Service Association, the South Portland Benevolent Society, the B'nai B'rith Center, the Portland Hebrew School and the Neighborhood House). Oregon Governor Julius Meier also served as President of the Federated Societies of Portland. By way of the Federated Jewish Societies, the Shelter Home was partially funded with Portland Community Chest money, indicating its importance to the larger community as well as to the local Jewish community. The Home provided security for the Jewish immigrant society and fulfilled a sense of civic duty for many people. The House is a reminder that the struggle of Jewish people in Portland to earn decent wages and rise in economic status was not always easy.
The Shelter Home operated out of this house through may 1937 and then moved to a new location at the corner of 12th and Jefferson in downtown Portland, which no longer stands. The Jewish Shelter Home is the only visual reminder of the institutions role as the forerunner to the Portland Jewish Family and Child Service. After the Shelter Home was sold back to private hands it transformed into three apartment units and later a commercial space.

Mercury History: Henry Ford adopted the Mercury brand in 1939 to compete with the General Motors Buick but most models were based on other Ford models. Mercury became a part of the Lincoln division in 1945 and adopted the Lincoln platform in 1949, the year Mercury's also became know as "Lead Sleds". Mercury's heyday was in the 1950's but it was considered a spin off of Fords, and then Lincolns, until the early 1970s when the Cougar and Marquis were introduced. Sales peaked in 1978 when almost 600,000 units were sold but by the 1980s the Mercury had lost its uniqueness again and the image began to suffer. Ford tried to revive the Mercury lineup in the 1990s with front-wheel drive, an import called the "MMerkur" and a mini van but less than 100,000 units were sold in 2010. Ford dropped Mercury from the Lincoln division the following year.
The first Mercury logo was a head profile of the Roman god Mercury. From the 1960s to the 1980s the Cougar became the logo amid a series of cat-named models followed. Some of the upper end models adopted the Lincoln diamond.

This comic refers to Candy Buttons, a type of candy sold by Necco in the U.S. since 1980. Because of the resemblance of the strips of paper to the tape of a Turing Machine, a small minority of children pretended to be a Turing Machine by creating rules and executing them upon the tape of candy exactly like a real Turing Machine would do.
The title text refers to the fact that, although it would be hypothetically possible to create a Turing Machine that can only delete symbols, the information density of the tape would be greatly reduced, and the original Turing Machine could read and write from the tape it operated on.
[edit] Transcript
When it came to eating strips of candy buttons, there were two main strategies. Some kids carefully removed each bead, checking closely for paper residue before eating.
Others tore the candy off haphazardly, swallowing large scraps of paper as they ate.
Then there were the lonely few of us who moved back and forth on the strip, eating rows of beads here and there, pretending we were Turing machines.
It is possible to run a Turing machine on a candy belt:
Marvin Minsky (1967), Computation: Finite and Infinite Machines, Prentice-Hall, Inc. Englewood Cliffs, N.J. In particular see p. 262ff (italics in original): "We can now demonstrate the remarkable fact, first shown by Wang [1957], that for any Turing machine T there is an equivalent Turing machine TN that never changes a once-written symbol! In fact, we will construct a two-symbol machine TN that can only change blank squares on its tape to 1's but can not change a 1 back to a blank." Minsky then offers a proof of this. -- Kopa Leo 16:01, 6 July 2013 (UTC)
In my opinion, intuitively, when writing is demanded, a turing machine just have to copy those symbols to a new location, minding the symbol that needs to be written. It can have a start-of-data mark so this would be transparent to other operations 05:45, 27 July 2014 (UTC)
so I'm the only one that put them in a loop, then moved it one button down on one side? (talk) (please sign your comments with ~~~~)
Candy button paper was around long before 1980. I remember it from the 1950s. 17:59, 2 October 2016 (UTC)

An Adapterflow lets you to define your entry and exit from iCore Process Server in a pre-packaged way. Adapterflows are built with ready-made elements, which can then be configured to fit your needs. An Adapterflow always starts with an entry point, but may then contain a number of additional activities. You can execute several Event-based Adapterflow definitions simultaneously: If two Events occur at the same time, the instances of the Adapterflow will be processed simultaneously.
Adapterflows are created in the Adapterflow Wizard through a number of simple steps.
Entrypoint – Readers and Listeners
An Entry Point is the activity that starts the Adapterflow. There are two types of Entry points:
- Readers which are polling with a specified interval to find data, for example new files in a directory.
- Listeners which are constantly waiting for a specific Event/incident to occur, for example the renaming of a file in a directory.
When the Entry point is set, you start adding the processing steps (activities) to your Adapterflow. You can add as many activities as you need. For each activity, you configure the relevant parameters. The configuration lets you select the output parameters of a previous activity to become the input parameters of the current activity – this is called activity binding.
You can provide a parameter with a simple value or a complex value. When you use a simple value, you type the value explicitly in the parameter field, or select it via a drop-down list or a browser button. Complex values may contain different types of data. For example, you can build a value consisting of "directory path + counter + string value", which could result in the parameter value "C:\IncomingFiles\FileNoX.txt", where "C:\ IncomingFiles" is the directory path, "FileNoX" is a counter value and ".txt" is a constant string that is added.
Data is sent between activities without any specific configuration. The contents of a file, for example, are sent automatically as a stream to the next activity.
All Events, tasks and actions performed in the system, automatic or manual, are recorded in the system log. Each log entry is a separate entity, with a unique log ID. The records are created automatically and display date, time, log level and ID.
The iCore system creates two types of log entries:
- Log entries that do not refer to any particular Event, but only describe what has happened at a certain time. Example: Log entries from system start-up.
- Log entries that contain a reference to a certain Event.
The log entries can have any of five different levels (for example ), depending on their content. To control the level of detail, you can set the log level for each individual Adapterflow.
Two sides of the Adapterflow – "Application friendly" and "ESB friendly"
The Adapterflow has an application-friendly side (towards an ERP system or other application) and an ESB-friendly side (towards any ESB, for example IBM, BizTalk, Tibco, iCore Process Server, etc.). We recommend using a generic XML format as an intermediary. Doing so makes the flow "loosely coupled" and easy to change. The two sides also allow you to expose composite services to the ESB, which will result in less complexity and traffic.

CMOS delay is inversely proportional to supply voltage.
Voltage to a region may be varied dynamically. A higher
Operating region of the frequency/voltage curve is roughly linear.
Let's only raise VCC when we ramp up f.

Overall: power will then have cubic dependence on f. So we achieve peak performance under heavy loads and avoid cubic overhead when idle.
Power isolation is used on a longer and larger scale (complete continents).

- Census metropolitan areas and census agglomerations crossing provincial boundaries
There is one census metropolitan area (Ottawa - Gatineau) and three census agglomerations (Campbellton, Hawkesbury and Lloydminster) that cross provincial boundaries. The data for their respective provincial parts are included with the appropriate census metropolitan area or census agglomeration, with data for the census metropolitan area or census agglomeration within the province of the provincial part that contributes the majority of the population to the area. For example, Ottawa - Gatineau can be found in Ontario, Campbellton in New Brunswick, Hawkesbury in Ontario and Lloydminster in Alberta.
- TOTAL - ABORIGINAL AND NON-ABORIGINAL IDENTITY POPULATION
This is a grouping of the total population into non-Aboriginal or Aboriginal population, with Aboriginal persons further divided into Aboriginal groups, based on their responses to three questions on the 2006 Census form.
- TOTAL ABORIGINAL IDENTITY POPULATION
Included in the Aboriginal identity population are those persons who reported identifying with at least one Aboriginal group, that is, North American Indian, Métis or Inuit, and/or those who reported being a Treaty Indian or a Registered Indian, as defined by the Indian Act of Canada, and/or those who reported they were members of an Indian band or First Nation.
- NORTH AMERICAN INDIAN SINGLE RESPONSE
Users should be aware that the counts for this item are more affected than most by the incomplete enumeration of certain Indian reserves and Indian settlements. The extent of the impact will depend on the geographic area under study. In 2006, a total of 22 Indian reserves and Indian settlements were incompletely enumerated by the census. The populations of these 22 communities are not included in the census counts.
- ABORIGINAL RESPONSES NOT INCLUDED ELSEWHERE
Includes those who identified themselves as Registered Indians and/or band members without identifying themselves as North American Indian, Métis or Inuit in the Aboriginal identity question.
Data quality note(s)
- Data quality index showing, for the short census questionnaire (100% data), a global non response rate higher than or equal to 5% but lower than 10%.
- Data quality index showing, for the long census questionnaire (20% sample data), a global non response rate higher than or equal to 5% but lower than 10%.
- 2001 adjusted count; most of these are the result of boundary changes.

Dr. Thomas recently completed 30 years of archaeological research on St. Catherine's Island, off the Atlantic Coast of Georgia. Using remote sensing technology, his team discovered the long-lost site of the Franciscan mission St. Catalina de Guale (_PHONE_) and conducted major excavations there for a dozen years. With fieldwork completed, the team is preparing publications about its discoveries. Recently, Dr. Thomas and his team have been excavating the ruins of the Spanish Mission (1620-80) located about 20 miles south of Santa Fe. The archaeologists are using a sophisticated array of remote sensing technologies to map the subsurface structure of the site, and then excavating significant architectural features in the church and convent area. This project includes a unique intern program involving high-school-age members of the local descendant (Hispanic and Pueblo Indian) communities. Dr. Thomas's scholarly research focuses on redefining the relationship between Native American and anthropological communities. His book, Skull Wars, traces the development of the current tensions in these relationships over the past two centuries, while seeking ways to build bridges between the groups' diverse perspectives. He has organized and directed more than 100 archaeological excavations, including the discovery of the Gatecliff Shelter in Nevada, the deepest archaeological rock shelter in the Americas.

Dec. 13, 2012 Efforts to reduce underage exposure to alcohol advertising by implementing time restrictions have not worked, according to new research from the Center on Alcohol Marketing and Youth (CAMY) at the Johns Hopkins Bloomberg School of Public Health and the Dutch Institute for Alcohol Policy. The report, published in the Journal of Public Affairs, confirms what Dutch researchers had already learned in that country: time restrictions on alcohol advertising actually increase teen exposure, because companies move the advertising to late night.
In 2009, Dutch regulators sought to reduce youth exposure to alcohol advertising by restricting times during which alcohol ads may be aired on television or radio. Under this restriction, alcohol advertising was prohibited between the hours of 6 AM and 9 PM. In 2010, compliance with the time restriction on television was close to 100 percent.
CAMY researchers used simulation analysis to model what would happen if a similar policy were applied to U.S. television advertising for alcohol, taking into account the program type and audience demographics. They found that time restrictions do protect viewers under age 12, but they actually increase the exposure of the young people most likely to start drinking, that is, teens aged 12 to 20. This happens because teens increase as a percentage of the nighttime television audience after 9 PM.
"In light of the policy in the Netherlands and the recommendations for similar policies in other countries, including Ireland and the United Kingdom, determining the impact of time restrictions on youth exposure is a public health priority," said lead author and CAMY researcher Craig Ross, MBA. "In the wake of time restrictions, alcohol companies push their ads onto late night programming, when the adolescent/teenage audience is more highly concentrated, thus increasing advertising exposure for this high-risk group."
Alcohol is the drug most frequently used and abused by adolescents in the U.S. and in the Netherlands. At least 14 long-term studies have found that the more young people are exposed to alcohol advertising and marketing, the more likely they are to drink, or if they are already drinking, to drink more.
"With growing numbers of adolescents in the U.S. having a television in their bedroom, forcing alcohol advertisers to move ads into late night television is akin to inviting them to have a private conversation with adolescents every evening," concluded study co-author and CAMY director David Jernigan, PhD. "For countries such as the U.S., where alcohol advertising is protected as commercial speech, policies that restrict alcohol advertising to programs where the underage audience is not over-represented are likely to be more effective."
This policy is endorsed in the U.S. by the National Research Council, the Institute of Medicine, and 24 state attorneys general.

text: Feeding activity of harbor seals (Phoca vitulina) was monitored while the California Department of Fish and Game seined and tagged migrating adult salmonids between 1984 and 1988. The number of predations observed each week of observation was significantly correlated with the number of fish seined during that week. There was a significantly higher number of predations observed on days when seining took place than on days when no seining occurred. Our observations suggest that most, if not all, predations we observed on days when seining occurred involved fish that had been recently seined and released. The estimated percentage of seined fish taken by seals was relatively constant over the five years of the study, ranging from 3.1% to 5.5%. Various strategies for reducing the level of predation on seined salmonids in the lower Klamath River are discussed.

K-Ar dating and delta O-18-delta D characterization of nanometric illite from Ordovician K-bentonites of the Appalachians: illitization and the Acadian-Alleghenian tectonic activity
July 28, 2013
Nanometric (<0.02, 0.02–0.05, 0.05–0.1, 0.1–0.2 μm) illite fractions were separated from K-bentonite samples from northwestern Georgia, and studied by X-ray diffraction, oxygen and hydrogen isotope geochemistry, and K-Ar dated to more tightly constrain the tectono-thermal history of the Appalachian orogeny. Their XRD patterns are very similar for a given sample with respect to the peak shapes and positions. They are ordered illite-smectite mixed layers with only small variations in the relative proportions of illite and smectite interlayers. The illite crystal thickness distributions also are very homogeneous across the various size fractions of the same sample, but crystallite thickness varies from sample to sample. It can be concluded from the α-β2 diagram that illitization occurred in all fractions by simultaneous nucleation and crystal growth, except for one sample. In that sample, a period of growth without nucleation was detected on top of the nucleation and growth episode.
The K-Ar ages organize into two isochrons, the first at 319.9 ± 2.0 Ma with an initial 40Ar/36Ar ratio of 271 ± 66 Ma, and the second at 284.9 ± 1.2 Ma with an initial 40Ar/36Ar ratio of 310 ± 44. One data point above the older isochron and three between the two isochrons suggest a detrital contamination for the former separate and a possible further generation of nanoparticles for the three others. The samples with the older crystallization age consist of illite and illite-rich mixed-layers, and those with the younger age contain smectite-rich mixed-layers without illite, or illite-enriched illite-smectite mixed-layers. The K-Ar ages fit the age trends published previously for similar K-bentonites with regional age patterns between 240 and 270 Ma in the southwestern region, between 270 and 300 Ma in the central zone and the southern Appalachians, and between 315 and 370 Ma in the northernmost.
Each of the two generations of illite crystals yields very consistent δ18O (V-SMOW) values at 17 ± 1‰ for the older and at 21 ± 1‰ for the younger. If crystallization temperatures of the nanometric illite were between 100 and 200 °C, as suggested by microthermometric determinations, the hydrothermal fluids had δ18O values of 4 ± 1‰ in the Dalton district and of 8 ± 1‰ in the Lafayette, Trenton, and Dirtseller districts at 100 °C, and of 11 ± 1 and 15 ± 1‰ in the same locations at 200 °C, probably because the water-rock isotope exchanges at elevated temperature occurred in rock-dominated systems. The δ18O of the fluids remained unchanged during local crystal growth, but varied depending on the geographic location of the samples and timing of illitization. The δD (V-SMOW) values of the different size fractions do not provide consistent information; they range from −70 to −45‰ for most nanometric and micrometric fractions (V-SMOW), but with no apparent coherent pattern.
Nanometric illite-rich crystals from K-bentonite that underwent tectono-thermal alteration yield constant ages, constant clay mineralogy, constant crystallite size distributions for all of the nucleating and growing illite-type crystals of each sample, as well as constant δ18O values implying constant fluid chemistry, all pointing to geologically sudden crystallization.

OXFORD, Ohio (AP) -- New projections say Ohio will have 16 counties in 2050 where a third of the population will be at least age 60.
None of Ohio's 88 counties had such a high percentage of 60-or-older people in 2010, underscoring challenges ahead as the Baby Boomer generation becomes grayer and life spans increase. The forecasts based on data analysis and current trends are from Miami University's Scripps Gerontology Center.
Earlier projections showed six Ohio counties are expected to have a third of their 2020 populations as 60 or older.
Older populations are common in the economically struggling Appalachian region. One county, Noble, is projected to have half its population 60 or older by 2050.
Ohio officials say changes are needed to provide for senior needs and keep people in their homes longer.

The Effect of Sample Size on Mean & Median
When interpreting data from this experiment, scientists must consider sample size.
-•• genetic experiment image by NiDerLander from
Sample size is an important consideration in an experiment's design. A sample size that is too small will skew the results of an experiment; data collected may be invalid due to the small number of people or objects tested. Sample size has an effect on two important statistics: the mean and the median.
Sample Size and Experimental Design
Most experiments are run by comparing how two groups of people or objects react to a variable. Everything other than the variable is kept the same in order to avoid confusion when interpreting results. The number of people or objects in each group is known as the sample size. The sample size must be large enough to defeat the possibility that results occur due to random chance factors rather than to the manipulated variable. For example, a study of how being read to at night affects children's ability to learn to read would not be valid if only five children were studied.
Mean and Median
After the experiment is over, scientists use statistics to help them interpret the results of the experiment. Two important statistics are the mean and the median.
The mean, the average value, is calculated by adding all the results for a group and dividing by the number of people in the group. For example, if the average test score on a reading test for a group of children was 94 percent, this means that the scientist added all the test scores together and divided by the number of students, yielding an answer of approximately 94 percent.
The median refers to the number separating the higher half of the data from the lower half. It is found by arranging the data in numerical order. For example, the median score of all students taking a reading test could be 83 percent if half the students scored higher than 83 percent and half the students scored lower.
Mean and Sample Size
If the sample size is too small, the mean scores will be artificially inflated or deflated. Suppose only five students took a reading test. An average score of 94 percent would require most of those students to have scored near 94 percent. If 500 students took the same test, the mean could reflect a wider variety of scores.
Median and Sample Size
Similarly, the median scores will be unduly influenced by a small sample size. If only five students took a test, a median score of 83 percent would mean that two students scored higher than 83 percent and two students scored lower. If 500 students took the test, the median score would reflect the fact that 249 students scored higher than the median score.
Sample Size and Statistical Significance
Small sample sizes are problematic because the results of experiments involving them are not usually statistically significant. Statistical significance is a measurement of how likely it is that results occurred by random chance. With small sample sizes, it is generally extremely likely that results were due to random chance rather than to the experiment.

CDC Study Finds Obesity Common Among L.A. Preschoolers
A new study from the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention finds that between 2003 and 2011, obesity rates among poor preschool-aged children in Los Angeles rose at one point to a high of 21 percent, according to a story by the Associated Press.
The study found that at the same time obesity rates among children in New York fell from 19 percent to 16 percent.
Sadly, the reason given for the higher rates in Los Angeles is that obesity rates among Mexican-American children are particularly high when compared with other groups, the AP reports.
The study found the obesity rate in LA was initially 17 percent, peaked to 21 percent in 2009, and then dropped to 20 percent.
The AP reported that researchers focused on three- and four-year olds who were enrolled in the WIC government program, which provides food vouchers to low income families. About 85 percent of children in the L.A. study were Hispanic, most of whom were Mexican-American. In New York, just 46 percent of the children studied were Hispanic, including not many Mexican-Americans.
According to the CDC, about 12 percent of all preschool-aged children are obese.

Route 19. LRN 176, defined in 1933 between Route 39 and Route 91, and extended to Route 19 in 1959. As part of Route 10, portions were signed as Bypass US 101.
On August 21, 1933, it was reported that Firestone Boulevard, sometimes
known as Manchester Avenue, was widened from 40 feet to 74 feet and became part
of the California state highway system. The article noted that the road will be
one of the principal traffic arteries connecting the Coast Highway, the
southerly portion of Los Angeles, and contiguous territory with Anaheim,
Orange, and Santa Ana.
(Source: This Date in Los Angeles Transportation History, August 21)
Route 42 was not assigned as part of the 1934 signage of state routes. It is unclear if any route was signed as Route 42 between 1934 and the resignage of Route 10 as Route 42.
US 42 was the original number proposed in 1926 for what was later US 48, which was later renumbered as part of US 50. This is now part of Route 37.
The CalTrans bridge log indicates that Route 105 is signed in its entirety as Route 42. What this means is that the currently signed Route 42 is really the old traversable routing of Route 105. In mid-2000, CalTrans finally relinquished all portions of Route 42, although it still has some of the old signs in some places. The CalTrans photolog still shows some portions of Route 42 as unrelinquished in 2001.
The SAFETEA-LU act, enacted in August 2005 as the reauthorization of TEA-21, provided the following expenditures on or near this route:
High Priority Project #479: Widen Firestone Blvd (former Route 42) between Ryerson Blvd and Stewart and Gray Road in Downey. $1,600,000.
High Priority Project #1633: Conduct project report study on Old River School Rd — Firestone Blvd intersection reconfiguration in Downey. $400,000.
The route that became LRN 42 was first defined in 1913 by Chapter 398, which called for "the survey and construction of a state highway from the point known as Saratoga Gap on the line between the counties of Santa Clara and Santa Cruz, extending thence by the practicable route in a generally SW-ly direction along the ridge between the San Lorenzo and Pescadero creeks to the present boundary of the California State Redwoods Park, thence into the California State Redwoods Park in Santa Cruz County to Governor's Camp, and thence through said park to the boundary thereof at Bloom's Mill."
[LRN 5] near Los Gatos to Governor's Camp in California Redwood Park via Saratoga Gap and along the ridge between San Lorenzo and Pescadero Creeks.
This definition remained until the 1963 renumbering. The route is the present-day Route 236 between Governor's Camp near Big Basin and the Route 9/Route 269 junction, and then Route 9 to Route 17 (former LRN 5). The California Redwood State Park Road ("from Saratoga Gap, on the line between the counties of Santa Clara and Santa Cruz, to, into and within California Redwood Park...") was defined in 1913. The remainder of the route (to Route 17 near Los Gatos) was defined in 1933. The Route 9 signage dates back to 1934.
Route 119 to Route 46 in Wasco.
This segment was signed as Route 43 before 1964, but was not part of the initial 1934 signage of routes. It was LRN 139 (defined in 1939) between US 399 (LRN 140; present-day Route 119) and US 466 (LRN 33; present-day Route 46).
Route 43/Route 119 Roundabout (KER 0.1/0.4)
In May 2016, the CTC approved for future consideration of funding a project that will construct a roundabout at the intersection of Route 43, Route 119, and Enos Lane near the city of Taft. The project is programmed in the 2014 State Highway Operation and Protection Program. The total programmed amount is $9,761,000 for capital and support. Construction is estimated to begin in Fiscal Year 2017-18. The scope, as described for the preferred alternative, is consistent with the project scope programmed by the Commission in the 2014 State Highway Operation and Protection Program. A copy of the MND has been provided to Commission staff. The project will result in less than significant impacts to the environment after mitigation.

Speed Up Statistical Computations
Statistics and Machine Learning Toolbox™ allows you to use parallel computing to speed up certain statistical computations. In parallel computing, a single MATLAB® client session distributes code segments to multiple workers for independent processing, and then combines these individual results to complete the computation. Use parallel computing to speed up resampling techniques such as bootstrap and jackknife, boosting and bagging of decision trees, cross-validation, clustering algorithms, and more. For a complete list of Statistics and Machine Learning Toolbox functions that support parallel computing, see Function List (Automatic Parallel Support).
Some functions accept
gpuArray (Parallel Computing Toolbox) input arguments so that
you can accelerate code by running on a graphics processing unit (GPU). For the full
list of Statistics and Machine Learning Toolbox functions that accept GPU arrays, see Function List (GPU Arrays).
You must have a Parallel Computing Toolbox™ license to use the parallel computing functionality and GPU arrays.

100mm Dia Driven Cased Piles 50 – 60KN
100mm diameter driven cased piles are the smallest piles that we install. There load capability is 60KN. We use this size of pile for conservatories, garage bases and other lightly loaded structures where access is restricted. The pile casings range from 1.0m to 2.0m sections. This enables the casings to be manually handled through doorways and into even into cellars.
The piles are driven internally with a grundomat (shown below). The grundomat is powered by compressed air. Our compressors can be located outside and air line run inside thus preventing any build up of fumes and minimising distruption.
The following is how each steel cased concrete filled pile is driven:
 1. 100mm nominal diameter "starter" casing is placed at pile the position complete with 500mm concrete / stone bung in toe.
 2. The grundomat 95 piling hammer, air driven is placed inside the starter.
 3. The grundomat and tube is raised into position of the pile and held virtically.
 4. the compressor is started up and the air tap gradually opened allowing hammer action of the grundomat to drive the casing.
 5. Once the casing if firm and aligned, open tap for maximum drive, and drive the starter to approx 300mm from ground level.
 6. The next length of casing "follower" is fillet welded to the starter via a spigot and socket joint.
 7. Driving contiues addeing more "followers" if required until the required resistance is reached.

Dreams can be quite playful about serious matters. On the other hand, they can sometimes seem to take trivial things extremely seriously. A peculiar choice of words or an odd little detail can be unexpectedly significant, and every metaphor can be understood in many ways, at many levels. How are we to find meaning in the paradoxical language of dreams? This seminar will introduce the essentials of dream grammar, and the basics of conversational dreamwork. We will learn to "think like a dream," and to visit our dreams with the same combination of respect, curiosity, and sense of adventure appropriate to visiting another country, or another world.
