Memoirs of a Breton Peasant: Sifting Through the Nostalgia
Posted on November 21, 2011 December 20, 2011 by Cynthia BertelsenIn Book Reviews, France, French Cooking, Reference5 Minutes Read
Jean-Marie Déguignet
It's not often that the words of poor peasants appear in print. And when they do, it's a cause for rejoicing, especially for scholars pertaining to the Braudel/Certeau school of the history of daily life.
What's more, our current nostalgic longings for a more paradisiacal past evaporate quickly in the light of these often ruthlessly real portrayals of life.
Even though he's been dead for over 100 years, nineteenth-century Breton peasant Jean-Marie Déguignet would be rubbing his hands together in glee to know that his unusual life story can now be read by even more people.
The tale of Déguignet's memoirs in themselves make a most interesting story, as Bernez Rouz relates in the Preface to the English edition of Memoirs of a Breton Peasant. The folklorist Anatole La Braz met Déguignet in 1897 and instantly wanted to publish his memoirs, twenty-four volumes in total. He paid him 100 francs. Years went by and La Braz did little except to publish 130 pages in the December 1904 issue of La revue de Paris. In the meantime, giving up on seeing his words immortalized in print, Déguignet began writing his memoirs all over again!
Over 250,000 copies of Déguignet's Memoirs of a Breton Peasant sold in France in 1998. An excellent and highly readable English version, translated by award-winning editor and translator Linda Asher, appeared in hardcover in 2004 and is now out in paperback and Kindle editions. This represents only a small portion of what Déguignet wrote; in his later years, his writings took a rather paranoid turn.
Déguignet's life spanned a time period when France reached out and became a world power through her forays into the Crimea, Algeria, Mexico, and Italy. Born in 1834 to a landless Breton peasant family, Déguignet spent his early life as a professional beggar and cowherd. Later he farmed and ran a tobacco shop. Obviously highly intelligent, he credited his eruditeness to an early whack on the head by bee-stung horse. He never attended school, except to learn the Catholic catechism and prayers. Instructed in reading by a spinster seamstress from his village, he later taught himself French, Latin, Italian, and Spanish.
As Déguignet states at the beginning of Memoirs of a Breton Peasant:
I know that artisans and laborers are in no position to record their lives, as they have neither the education nor the time it would require. Although I belong to that class, having lived my whole life in the heart of it, now – in my present forced leisure – I shall try to write, if not with talent at least with sincerity and openness, how I lived and thought and reflected within this wretched setting, and how I joined and kept up the terrible struggle for existence. (p. 27)
Take his encounter with a librarian at the Quimper Public Library as an example of the prejudice he constantly faced as a peasant:
When I told him I wanted to consult a certain work on astronomy by Flammarion, he burst into Jupiterian laugher, and with no further response than that side-splitting guffaw, he showed me toward a dim recess saying, 'Here, look, there are some good novels here, Pick one; that will do you nicely.' There was indeed a pile of old discarded books.
In 1854, shorter than the requisite five feet in height, he nonetheless joined the French army and spent the next fourteen years traveling, fighting, and soaking up new experiences. When he left Mexico on a hulking iron ship called the Souverain, he wrote about a stop in Havana:
There we stopped to take on provisions, and in those twenty-four hours I had the pleasure de hablar again, for the last time, the beautiful language of Cervantes and of Quixote de la Mancha, with the women who clustered around our ship to sell us those lovely succulent, nourishing fruits of the tropics. (p. 243)
Breton Peasants Making Sabots, or Wooden Shoes
Rich with observations about the superstitions and beliefs of the uneducated people of Brittany, most who knew only a few words of French, Memoirs of a Breton Peasant presents the state of France as it actually was in village after village, where – as late as the end of the nineteenth century – people did not speak the language of their own "nation" nor did they identify with "La Belle France." As Déguignet recalled his time in the Crimea, he commented on the French language:
For here I was hearing a foreigner [a Russian]– a man who lived many hundreds of leagues away from France – speaking the language of Voltaire so well, whereas in France I had never yet encountered anyone who spoke it except for my young teacher, and I had met him by chance out here [Crimea].
Déguignet laid much of the ignorance and backwardness of French peasants on the shoulders of the Roman Catholic Church. After a short stay in Jerusalem, he turned away from the Church, became an atheist, and thereafter never passed up an opportunity to lambast the priests and what he consider their greedy, money-grubbing ways. He told of a custom practiced in Brittany:
The curé sends out two people prominent in the commune. I happened to be at home when the men came in announcing that they were collecting alms for Saint Allour, the patron saint of the parish. I told them right away that this Saint Allour had never existed, and, even if he had, he no longer needed any bread or money, and that this work they were doing was the most shameful, despicable work possible: to have the audacity to go asking for grain and money from poor people who themselves didn't have enough bread to feed their children … .
Books like Déguignet's open up a reality rarely seen, because most of history flows from the pens of the privileged and the educated. Social class dictated the path of history. The plight of peasants often appears only in the tallying of staggering statistics after battle losses or plague deaths. For that reason, Déguignet's notebooks offer valuable material for researchers. But they also afford insights into a remarkable life. Memoirs of a Breton Peasant will leave discerning readers with a very uncomfortable thought: How many other people might have left records of their lives had they only had the opportunity and the education? Taken even further: How many people now alive could do the same, but for the lack of opportunity and education?
Let Déguignet have the last word:
I end by wishing mankind the power, or rather the will, to become true and good human beings capable of understanding one another and getting on together in a societal life that is noble and happy.

The Prospectus
Styal has had a village store since the 1800's.
The vision for the opening of the store began in March 2013 when a survey was delivered to all properties in Styal, to establish whether the residents of Styal required and would support a community run store. The response was an overwhelming YES.
Following the questionnaire, the prospect of establishing a village store and café as a viable and sustainable community business was researched and an initial business plan was developed. In December 2013, a public meeting was held to outline the vision and begin the progress of recruiting volunteers. From that meeting a management committee was formed to drive the business forward.
In January 2014, a pledge document was distributed to all properties in Styal to ascertain the level of financial commitment and support for the store and café. The response was amazing, exceeding expectations and a number of organisations have also been approached for grants and donations.
After the National Trust refurbished the premises on Altrincham Road in November 2013 we formally applied for the tenancy and submitted our business plan. After being shortlisted we were required to make a presentation to the National Trust management team. Our presentation included a video showing a number of residents explaining the need for a village store. A number of other businesses applied for the tenancy and we were advised that we had been successful in our application in February 2014.
Following the preparation of our rules under the Plunkett Foundation Model and submission to the Financial Conduct Authority, Styal Village Community Store and Café Limited (SVCSC Ltd) was officially registered as a Society for the benefit of the community under the Industrial and Provident Society Act 1965. The business will trade as Earlams to reflect its heritage and to assist with the marketing of the business.
In June 2019 we received the Queen's Award for Voluntary Service – a great tribute to all our volunteers

Final Crisis #6
January 15, 2009 in batman, final crisis, omega sanction | Leave a comment
[SPOILERS. PLEASE ALLOW ME TO GEEK OUT A BIT]
Yes, a lot happens across the board in this issue, but Final Crisis #6 is all about Batman. After the events of "Batman RIP," the final (wink) fate of Batman as Bruce Wayne is revealed in Final Crisis #6. Yes, Batman survived the helicopter crash and subsequent capture by Darkseid. Yes, Batman confronts Darkseid in Denim for the big showdown. Equipped with the Radion laced bullet that killed Orion, Batman makes an once in a lifetime exception to his no fire arm rule. As Bruce Wayne's entire crusade against evil started with a gun, he comes full circle faced with the embodiment of evil. Darkseid threatens Batman with the Omega Sanction, a cosmic beam that subjects the target to a series of worsening alternate lives, to which Batman replies with "Try me." Darkseid in Denim blasts the Omega Sanction as Batman's bullet connects, seemingly (but unlikely) killing the Fifth World God. With a knowing and accepting grin, Batman is struck by the beam. At the end of FC#6, Superman is seeing carrying a boney, charred body of Batman.
Now, though it may certainly appear as if Batman is dead following the sure to be iconic image of a burnt Bats, you can save the eulogy for later since the Omega Sanction doesn't necessarily equate death. Grant Morrison's entire run on Batman has pretty much been all about showing how awesome Bruce Wayne is. If anyone can survive a string of worsening alternate lives, it has to be Bruce Wayne. The most exciting thing about the whole event: how Bruce Wayne returns (because you know he will). If they play their cards right, this can make for some seriously cool comic book moments. IF they do it right.
The other high point of this issue for me was Tawky Tawny vs Kalibak. Thee end. Will Tawky Tawny lead the Tiger Army against the Justifiers?
I've been pretty optimistic about the series as a whole, but it worries me that there's so much that needs to happen in a single issue. It's almost like having a 5 second finale.

San Diego Comic-Con 2008 was a blast. it was entirely exhausting, but a blast nonetheless. like going to an amoeba records, but in comic form with the addition of cosplayed attendees. and a lot of free loot! lots of highlights to mention, but just like the event itself it would be overwhelming to try to mention them all.
one of the coolest parts of comic-con is being able to meet the writers and illustrators.
J.G. Jones was on hand to sign my copy of Wanted (probably most known now for being the loose basis of the movie starring angelina jolie and james mcavoy) along with my copies of Final Crisis #1 and #2 (DC's big summer event and currently my most anticipated comic). his art is amazing. very nice guy.
i was really stoked to be able to see adrian tomine in person. current favorite comic artist. he drew a cool picture in my copy of "Shortcomings" in a matter of minutes. i attended his panel discussion where he gave some (very well spoken) insight on how he got started in the comic business.
got a copy of Action Comics #340, the first issue that superman villain, parasite was introduced. back in 1966, the comic sold for 12 cents. you can't get anything for that price anymore!
picked up a copy of omega the unknown #5. the original series came out from marvel in the late 1970's, about the mysterious alien hero title character, a 12 year old boy, and the strange relationship they have with the world. i've been reading the reboot of the title (2007) written by jonathan letham and illustrated by farel dalrymple (farel's art is a great inspiration) so it was cool to have a copy of the original series.
i bought a bunch of other comics, but the fantagraphics booth really tested my self control over my wallet. fantagraphics puts out work from a bunch of great american comic authors and does it with smart and stylish packaging. picked up gilbert hernandez's "new tales of old palomar" and Kevin Huizenga's "Ganges." "Ganges" has got to be one my favorite comics in a long time. the storytelling comes from the heart. please read.
also great: mark todd's "bad ass" and "lame ass." they are equally hilarious. example of a bad ass: darth vader. example of a lame ass: scrappy from scooby doo. so true.
side note: street fighter IV looks great.
mad magazine pointed out some likely scenes that you might find at comic-con, and it's so true:
one last thing. congrats to "Laika" for winning an Eisner!
thanks to jmar for letting me tag along and for setting up the venture.

Created by Rick Sternbach, this publication contains a collection of large-format blueprints of the interior and exterior of the USS Enterprise-D. They catalog every deck of the ship, and also including exterior views and a side-view cutaway.  A booklet discussing the blueprints is also included.

Production
Rick Sternbach said that his team used several methods to create the blueprints.  First they had to gather material, so they went to the archives of the Star Trek: The Next Generation art department, where they found plans and drawings of the various sets created for the show. They also collected exterior drawings and photos to see how the ship had changed from its conception to its destruction in Star Trek Generations.

They also transferred the ink-drawings of the exterior of the ship, which had been used in the Star Trek: The Next Generation Technical Manual, to the computer for greater detail since the plans were going to be printed in this case.

Inside the Box
Besides small advertisements included in the package, the blueprints include several things:

 A 16-page booklet that talks in detail about the production team and the production of the blueprints.
 Thirteen sheets of 22" by 34" blueprints, including three of external elevations, one with a side cutaway and the first two decks, ten with the deck plans and the last one includes the symbol key for various symbols used throughout the plans.

Previous blueprint project
Five years prior to Rick Sternbach's version being published, Ed Whitefire, an artist and designer in the aerospace industry, contacted Paramount Studios about preparing and publishing the blueprints for the Enterprise-D.  He presented his idea to Star Trek Art Department staff member Andrew Probert and was given the go ahead to start designing and drawing the Enterprise-D blueprints, also consulting with Mike Okuda and Rick Sternbach. After working on the designs for more than two years, his publisher FASA lost their contract with Paramount Studios. Pocket Books, which still had a license, was offered Whitefire's work for publication but declined, eventually going with Sternbach. Years later, Whitefire gave permission for Cygnus X1 to publish his blueprints online.

Wise investing is founded in long-term objectives and understanding investments won't always be on an upward trajectory. For every handful of positive-return years, there can be at least one less desirable. In the equity markets, corrections—measured by a drop of at least 10% from a recent high—can be nerve racking. But they're quite common. Since 1945, the U.S. equity markets, as measured by the S&P 500, have seen 21 corrections with an average drop from the peak of 14%, while lasting an average of five months. With the sell-off, some investors have started to wonder whether this is the start of a bear market—measured by a drop of more than 20%--or a classic garden-variety correction. Most bear markets are the result of a recession.

Inclusion in Prevention: MI Suicide Prevention Conference Puts Focus on LGBTQ Issues
By Eve Kucharski|2020-01-16T10:05:53-05:00January 15th, 2020|Michigan, News|
A National Epidemic
Claiming the lives of nearly 50,000 Americans annually, calling suicide an epidemic is by no means a stretch, and it's certainly not a silent issue. Even for those people who haven't been touched by suicide personally through close-knit friends or family, it's likely that they can recall well-known public figures who have taken their own lives — fashion designer Kate Spade, chef and writer Anthony Bourdain, and musician Keith Flint might come readily to mind. And for those within the LGBTQ community, the National Alliance on Mental Illness has found that rates of suicide are drastically increased.
It's undeniable that tackling the problem of this scale will require a multi-faceted approach across various fronts, but proactive steps are already being taken. In Southeast Michigan, organizations like the nonprofit Kevin's Song are working to prevent suicide on a local level. From Jan. 23 through 25 the organization will be hosting its fourth annual Conference on Suicide. Themed Advocacy in Action this year, Kevin's Song representatives say that the conference is geared toward "unified, collaborative coalitions of community resources." And this year for the first time, the event will include an educator-focused School Summit to tackle youth suicide. Kevin's Song Vice President and Co-Founder Gail Urso said that the Conference is open to anyone with an interest in suicide prevention across all careers and walks of life.
"One of the purposes for the conference, in the beginning, was to draw attention to the problem, because suicide is a public health crisis and some people say it's an epidemic. But also to put it out in the general public so that people would know that this is something that a lot of people confront and deal with," Urso said. "We have just found over the years that there is a great interest from the general public, from professionals, educators. And we just keep deepening the level of information, research, expertise that's presented at the conference."
Urso co-founded the organization with her husband John in honor of their son Kevin, who died by suicide. She said that the conference, which has drastically increased in popularity in recent years, stemmed from the fact that many existing suicide prevention organizations weren't collaborating as much as they could. She added that besides the potential networking opportunities, she's particularly excited for the public to attend this year's presentation lineup.
Gail Urso
"One of our key experts is Dr. Thomas Joiner, and he really is respected as one of the foremost authorities on suicide," Urso said. "He's a researcher, he's a psychologist, he's from Florida State University, and he has literally written books on suicide that are widely been quoted and read. He has been with us every year and he will be here again this year."
Along with Joiner, U.S. Rep. Debbie Dingell (D-MI) will be the event's keynote speaker. She will take time to talk about the importance of mental health advocacy.
Taking Positive Steps for LGBTQ Youth
A local presenter scheduled at the conference is Rochester Hills-based Psychologist Dr. Nicole Law. She has presented at the conference for three years running and this year will contribute to the School Summit on suicide risk reduction for LGBTQ youth in schools. Much like their adult counterparts, The Trevor Project has found that LGBTQ youth is at a significantly greater risk for suicide than those who are straight and cisgender.
"I think also some of the statistics show that LGBTQ kids are [at a] 40 percent [lower] risk in a suicide attempts if they have at least one accepting adult, and they're 2/3 less likely to even report suicidal ideation if they have high levels of family acceptance," Law said. "So, those statistics really point us in a direction that we can concretely say, 'OK, here are some of the things we can set out.' How do we actively create safe spaces? How do we help schools help families to learn that it's not enough to say, 'OK, I love you no matter what,' but [they should say], 'I love you for who you are and you are perfect the way that you are?'"
When asked how to foster accepting environments for LGBTQ people, Law suggested posting things like inclusive artwork, wording and posters that immediately let students who enter the space know that they are going to be treated with respect. She added that taking care not to use limiting gendered language when assigning students work is a great way to avoid accidental alienation.
"Often, I hear stories of a gym class or an exercise in which there's going to be an interactive quiz game and the teacher will break students into two different halves of the room and say, 'OK, boys over here and girls over here.' Well, someone who is trans or non-binary will sit in the middle and go, 'Which side do you want me to go to?'" Law said. "… So, being mindful of the daily language that we use on a daily basis can be hugely supportive. Introducing yourself with your pronouns also speaks volumes."
Additionally, Law said she has observed many LGBTQ students feeling discomfort when their rights come up for political debate as part of classroom discussion. She suggested educators be mindful of how political debates in the classroom are treated for this reason, and because it can help prevent a long-term sense of apathy and anxiety around political discussions.
"Often, people look at the higher risk of suicide and the higher risk of depression, ideation and anxiety and … think it's dangerous to be trans because you are going to have a higher risk of suicide. And I think it's really important to clarify … it's not about identifying with the LGBTQ community, it's about the interactions with the outside world," Law said. "It's about discrimination. It's about the way they're treated, and a constant sense of, 'Laws are being written about me and my rights are even up for negotiation.' Their interaction with the outside world that feels rejecting and harsh is what creates the risk for suicide, not the actual identification of the youth themselves."
Spotting the Signs and Ending Stigma
However, even mindful actions taken in a classroom, among friends, family or co-workers won't always be enough to prevent suicidal ideation. When asked how to spot the signs of suicidal thoughts, Urso said drastic changes in behavior are often the main signifiers.
"A lot of people are concerned about their teenagers. For instance, someone who was a good student, had a lot of friends, was an athlete who all of a sudden loses interest in things; that could be a sign," Urso said. "It's the same thing with a co-worker: someone who is outgoing and friendly and a hard worker might suddenly seem very quiet or doesn't come to work or things of that nature."
Beyond this, paying attention to casual references to suicide in conversation is vital, too.
"Any reference to, 'I just don't want to live anymore.' If someone says something like that or, 'Life isn't worth living,' a casual statement made in an upset time, those things you have to pay attention to. I've heard people say, 'Oh, they're just looking for attention.' No. That is a serious sign," Urso said. "And what we have learned, and this is fairly new — 20 years ago they would not have said to do this — but now we're being encouraged to ask that family member or ask that co-worker, 'Have you thought about suicide?'"
Urso said that even a simple question like that can "remove the secrecy" and be the catalyst for healing.

However, it's an unfortunate reality that LGBTQ people often must take extra care to ensure that the place in which they choose to settle down is affirming of their sexual orientation or gender identity.

ROUNDTABLE: Primates and Poverty: challenges and opportunities.
Primate field workers mostly work with assistants drawn from the local community. Field sites are often near villages. Local residents frequently lack resources to pay for costly items such as medicines and higher education for their children. However, these are the people on whom the future of primates and primate habitats depends. To ensure a future for primates, we need their assistance and goodwill. In the long term, we shall increasingly need the cooperation and assistance of local communities. In this roundtable, field workers are encouraged to draw on their own experiences. We will discuss actions that have been or could be taken to improve local standards and how these actions have been or could be funded. Additional questions to be addressed are: Should we always include financial assistance for community development and/or capacity building in our grant proposals? For whom should such assistance be requested e.g. schools and other local institutions, or carefully selected individuals e.g. in the form of scholarships? Since donors are not accustomed to seeing such requests in the context of research grants, how can we introduce this concept to potential funders? Through group discussion and multiple viewpoints we hope to develop action steps that could be taken to assist in addressing this issue.

Did Mueller commit the same mistake as Comey?
January 22, 2019 by Jeff Worden
JAN. 22, 2019 — Special Counsel Robert Mueller's statement disputing the BuzzFeed report that President Trump directed his lawyer, Michael Cohen, to lie to Congress, raises an important question for media relations professionals, journalists and, for the matter, the general public:
Does the fact Mueller didn't dispute previous news reports about his investigation mean they are accurate?
Federal law enforcement officials are often tight-lipped, especially while investigations are under way. Revealing too much information, for example, can make it more difficult to obtain witness cooperation or gather evidence. Sometimes it can prejudice the rights of a defendant or unfairly damage the reputation of a person. That's why Department of Justice personnel "generally will not confirm the existence of or otherwise comment about ongoing investigations," according to policy.
Of course, Mueller's probe into Russia's influence on the 2016 presidential election is no secret. Nor was the investigation into Hillary Clinton's emails. Nonetheless, according to a longstanding unwritten practice, "the DOJ is to avoid overt law enforcement and prosecutorial activities close to an election, typically within 60 or 90 days of Election Day."
Comey's Slippery Slope
That didn't stop James Comey, then FBI director, from conducting a news conference in July of 2016, criticizing Clinton's email practices but saying the FBI would not recommend that she be prosecuted. Comey's step onto a slippery slope in midsummer became a full-blown, crash-landing on his keester in October when he felt compelled to announce just days before the general election that the Clinton investigation had been reopened with the discovery of new emails from a separate probe.
By straying from DOJ policy, has Mueller set himself up for a similar fate? Will journalists expect Mueller to provide comment when the next sensational report about his investigation is published? Will the American public assume a "no comment" from the special counsel means the report is accurate?
To prevent this, Mueller, and his spokesperson, Peter Carr, should have included a disclaimer in their response to BuzzFeed's report. For example, they could have said, "This office's silence on any previous and future news reports should not be interpreted as confirmation or denial of the reporting."
If nothing else, this language would help manage expectations. By all accounts, Mueller and Carr are sticklers for policies and procedures. So, too, are the many PR practitioners who stand behind their policies of not commenting on rumors and speculation only to deny, for example, merger and acquisition reports based on anonymous sources when the company's stock priced takes a hit. There are exceptions to every rule.
Until his report is issued, Mueller must resist the temptation to speak out on the sensational reports that are sure to be published amid the news media's feeding frenzy on the Trump administration. If not, and if the investigation drags in to 2020, then the special counsel's response to last week's BuzzFeed report could become the banana peel that lands Mueller on his backside right next to Comey.

Graceful exit for CEO interviews
December 12, 2018 by Jeff Worden
Dec. 12, 2018 — It's a staple of White House communications. Journalists are invited into the Oval Office to hear remarks from the president and make photographs. In exchange, reporters can ask a few questions. And then, like cranky bar tenders ushering out patrons after last call, staffers shoo journalists out of the office as reporters yell questions at the president.
The presidency is draped in dignified behavior, from the playing of "Hail to the Chief" at public appearances to the requirement that all stand when the nation's highest elected official enters the room. But the abrupt conclusion of media opportunities in the president's office is even more awkward than the pardoning of a turkey each November.
Few CEOs will ever be subjected to the media attention the president faces, but the contentious media opportunities in the Oval Office offer two lessons for the captains of industry when being interviewed by reporters.
First, CEOs should be interviewed anywhere but in their offices. Find another location, maybe a nearby conference room. Today's open office environments offer plenty of alternatives.
Reporters will often want to see the CEO's office. The books on the shelf, the photos on the credenza, even the coffee cup, all say something about the person. It's OK to spend a minute or two with the reporter in the CEO's office but then quickly move to another location to begin the question-and-answer session. This enables the CEO to make a graceful and unimpeded exit at the end of the interview, not unlike a news conference.
Second, CEOs, or their media relations representatives, should establish a time limit for all interviews, especially when meeting face-to-face with reporters. An Outlook meeting invitation is all that's needed to let the reporter know when you expect to conclude the conversation. It's only fair that reporters know how much time they have to ask questions. Furthermore, this makes it easy for CEOs to conclude their responses at the predetermined time. Besides, if the interview is going well, the CEO can continue past the deadline. It's unlikely the reporter will complain.
The CEO's media relations representative should attend the interview. In addition to being witness to what is said, the PR person can act as timekeeper, lifting the burden from the CEO to stay on schedule. If necessary, the media relations representative can also facilitate the reporter's exit, hopefully in a more subtle and dignified manner than the aides at 1600 Pennsylvania Ave.

Today's EU citizens live longer and healthier lives than their predecessors. Nevertheless, while life expectancy has increased, large health disparities persist between different Member States and regions. Furthermore, Member States possess different healthcare and social care systems with divergent access to resources. The European Committee of the Regions affirms that health is a crucial component to the prosperity and well-being of society and works to improve public health, prevent diseases and eliminate health risks.
The opinion considers that adequate and sustainable financing is vital in guaranteeing adequate quality, coverage and access to healthcare. It also raises attention to the burden of chronic diseases and mental illness and calls for increased readiness in order to provide a sustainable healthcare platform. The opinion also stresses that more influence needs to be given to patients and a greater focus needs to be placed on quality of care and medical outcomes. It also considers that better planning and coordination between the health and education sectors would provide sound opportunities for professional development.

Hanley Cenotaph
This is the monument that sits in the park on Lincoln Avenue in Hanley, Saskatchewan. It was created in remembrance of all the military people that had served Canada in world conflicts.In approximately 2008-2009, Branch #258 of the Royal Canadian Legion were afforded funds to repair and spruce up the monument. Many hours were put in sandblasting, painting and sprucing the monument up. I was the local President of the Legion at the time. Unforunately the project never was fully completed.In the last short while; two residents (and maybe more), took it upon themselves to finish the project and complete the repair. This is especially meaningful in that the Korean Conflict was settled on July 27th, 1953. The black plague you see in the middle of the picture is a plague remembering this conflict.Bravo Zulu to the two people that I know that did this work. That being Don Law and former Legion President Ron Earis. It looks wonderful and very well completed.As a former member of the Canadian Armed Forces I truly thank these kind gentlemen for the work that they carried out for all current and former veterans of the Canadian Military

As part of a wider journey to recognise diversity and uniqueness, the New Zealand Festival has been working towards creating a more accessible Festival. For me, this continues a journey started when I worked at the Perth Festival and became aware of the challenges faced by some members of our audiences.
Some of these were people who had been festival-goers for many years, but age and other circumstances meant it was now harder for them to attend and engage with live performance. Others were potential new audiences for whom the barriers to attendance made them feel excluded from an experience so clearly enjoyed by many.
But what we had in common was a love of the arts and the belief that festivals should be about bringing people from all walks of life together.
The principle of inclusiveness is one that has been championed in the arts sector across the world. The role that a vibrant creative sector can play in creating and strengthening communities and dealing with difficult issues has been well-documented.
A turning point for me was when I attended the Unlimited Festival at South Bank Centre during the 2012 London Paralympics. A festival celebrating the artistic vision and originality of disabled artists, alongside the celebration of sporting achievements, gave this sector a profile never seen before.
It completed the circle, not only bringing audiences with accessibility challenges into the theatre but putting their stories on stage in the most exciting way.
Being a more accessible organisation opens the potential for our own communities and artists to express their stories and achieve their aspirations. In 2016, the New Zealand Festival presented the renowned Australian theatre company Back to Back with their hit show Small Metal Objects.
The uncompromising ambition of this company has taken them to leading festivals around the world and it has been a delight to see the growing profile of Wellington company Everybody Cool Lives Here as they work with similar ideas.
Looking forward, we will continue to try and create opportunities for all audiences to experience a range of events across the New Zealand Festival from sign interpreted to audio described, relaxed and tactile experiences.
However, we are always open to suggestions for other ways we can make it possible for audiences to share the experience of some of the world's best artists in Wellington.
Shelagh Magadza is the Artistic Director of the New Zealand Festival. The 2018 Festival runs from 23 February to 18 March. Visit its website to find out more about its accessible events.

[VER] : [GWV] [PL] [PB]
<< Matius 28 >>
1After the day of worship, as the sun rose Sunday morning, Mary from Magdala and the other Mary went to look at the tomb.
2Suddenly, there was a powerful earthquake. An angel of the Lord had come down from heaven, rolled the stone away, and was sitting on it.
3He was as bright as lightning, and his clothes were as white as snow.
4The guards were so deathly afraid of him that they shook.
5The angel said to the women, "Don't be afraid! I know you're looking for Jesus, who was crucified.
6He's not here. He has been brought back to life as he said. Come, see the place where he was lying.
7Then go quickly, and tell his disciples that he has been brought back to life. He's going ahead of them into Galilee. There they will see him. Take note that I have told you."
8They hurried away from the tomb with fear and great joy and ran to tell his disciples.
9Suddenly, Jesus met them and greeted them. They went up to him, bowed down to worship him, and took hold of his feet.
10Then Jesus said to them, "Don't be afraid! Go, tell my followers to go to Galilee. There they will see me."
11While the women were on their way, some of the guards went into the city. They told the chief priests everything that had happened.
12The chief priests gathered together with the leaders and agreed on a plan. They gave the soldiers a large amount of money
13and told them to say that Jesus' disciples had come at night and had stolen his body while they were sleeping.
14They added, "If the governor hears about it, we'll take care of it, and you'll have nothing to worry about."
15The soldiers took the money and did as they were told. Their story has been spread among the Jewish people to this day.
16The eleven disciples went to the mountain in Galilee where Jesus had told them to go.
17When they saw him, they bowed down in worship, though some had doubts.
18When Jesus came near, he spoke to them. He said, "All authority in heaven and on earth has been given to me.
19So wherever you go, make disciples of all nations: Baptize them in the name of the Father, and of the Son, and of the Holy Spirit.
20Teach them to do everything I have commanded you. "And remember that I am always with you until the end of time."

E-Cigarettes and Tobacco Policy
July 7, 2014 - 1:37 pm, by Avalon Health Economics LLC
1. What is an E-Cig?
The "e-cig" is an electronic cigarette that is used to simulate the experience of smoking that has a cartridge with a heater that vaporizes liquid nicotine instead of burning tobacco. Having become a seemingly overnight sensation, governments in both Europe and the United States are struggling with how to regulate e-cigarettes. The use of e-cigs has quickly risen across Europe and the United States, and regulators are trying to figure out how to navigate legislation on the new device in the absence of hard evidence about the e-cigs effects.
2. Public Health Debate
The devices have sparked a public health debate globally. On one side, advocates of e-cigs argue that the devices are a less dangerous alternative to cigarettes, and they aid people in quitting their tobacco addictions. On the other side, opponents of the e-cig warn that there is inadequate evidence both on the product's health risks and whether e-cigarettes are actually encouraging people to quit smoking. Some experts argue that the devices could entice children to start smoking, while others claim that e-cigs are the best idea in generations to get smokers to switch to something less dangerous than traditional cigarettes. While the jury's still out on the extent of the effects of e-cigs, lab tests by the U.S. Food & Drug Administration (FDA) have found that some e-cigs contain dangerous chemicals that are also used in toxic products such as automobile antifreeze.
3. Europe's Stance
The European Parliament recently enacted some rules for e-cigs, and these regulations could help set a benchmark for standards around the world. The regulations include: banning advertising of electronic cigarettes; limiting the amount of nicotine in each device to 20 milligrams per milliliter (similar to ordinary cigarettes); forcing makers of these devices, which now include large tobacco companies, to put warning labels that include information about the e-cigs' addictiveness and toxicity on their packaging; making the e-cigs childproof; and standardizing the purity of the nicotine liquid in the devices. Also, advertising for e-cigarettes would be banned in the 28 nations of the European Union, as it already is for ordinary tobacco products. E-cigarettes would also be required to carry graphic health warnings (Figure 1).
These regulations will go into effect in 2016. The regulations are viewed favorably because smokers who want to quit with the aid of electronic cigarettes will still be able to do so. Additionally, they will know that the devices are not contaminated and do not contain excessive doses of nicotine. For those who oppose e-cigs, they view the regulations favorably because marketing restrictions should make e-cigs less appealing and less likely to be used by children.
4. U.S. Stance
Contrary to the speedy actions of the European Parliament, lawmakers in the U.S.– where electronic cigarettes have grown to a nearly $2-billion dollar business the United States—are moving considerably more slowly. The regulatory action on e-cigs in the U.S. has been the introduction of legislation that addresses only a small segment of the legal landscape. A bill has been proposed that would give the Federal Trade Commission (FTC) the power to restrict marketing practices of e-cig maker companies, such as celebrity spokespeople, flavored cigarettes, and cartoon characters featured in advertising. These regulations have been in effect for regular cigarettes since 1970. While marketing and advertising of the e-cigs has restrictions, the bill says nothing about regulating the actual ingredients in e-cigarette liquid, which include nicotine, propylene glycol (a chemical used to make stage fog that creates the vapor), and other chemicals. The bill also does not address manufacturing standards for the liquid or the lithium-battery powered e-cig devices themselves.
There are reasons for following Europe's footsteps; according to the CDC, the percentage of U.S. middle and high school students who use e-cigs more than doubled from 2011 to 2012. Altogether, in 2012, more than 1.78 million middle and high school students nationwide had tried e-cigarettes.

I discovered the Ulmer Quilting frame years ago in a quilt shop in Mississippi. I was impressed with the size and the fact that you could easily fold it up and store it. This remained on my 'to-buy' list for years before I finally bought it. I have always used a lap hoop, but it's fun to practice on a more traditional quilt frame.
What type of frame do you use when you hand quilt?

The thought of all that hand quilting makes me feel a bit … terrified. I love that you look so happy, too. Awesome!

Markku Allan Alén was born on February 15th, 1951 in Helsinki. As usual for many racing drivers, Marrku was infected with interest for motorsport from his father, who was the Finnish champion in ice racing.
Alén's career started in 1969, driving a Renault 8 Gordini in some Finnish races. The most known race was the 1000 Lakes Rally, which was part of the European Championship. Alen finished ninth, together with co-driver Juhani Toivonen

Starting a career with Renault 8 Gordini
Toivonen was Markku Alén's co-driver until 1973. In 1969 and 1970 they competed with Renault 8 Gordini, Sunbeam Imp, Sunbeam 9000 and Opel Rally Kadett. In 1971, Markku Alén made a contract with the Finnish Volvo importer and he got a Volvo 142 for racing. He finished third at the 1000 Lakes Rally in 1971 and 1972. His only events outside Finland were the 1971 Rally Norge and 1972 RAC Rally, which was part of the International Championship for Manufacturers.
Volvo 142 was Markku Alén's car during three seasons (1971, 1972 and 1973)
Good performances attracted Fiat and Ford factory teams
In 1973, World Rally Championship was formed and Markku Alén debuted at his first WRC event. Of course, it was 1000 Lakes Rally. Still driving Volvo 142, he finished second, behind Timo Mäkinen with Ford Escort RS 1600 MkI.
At the end of the season he caught the attention of the racing community with an outstanding performance at the 1973 RAC Rally. With Ford Escort RS 1600 MkI he finished third, despite rolling his car on the first day and dropping to the end of the field. His co-driver was Ilkka Kivimäki, who joined Alen for the 1974 season.
Good performances brought him deals with both Fiat and Ford. He was driving a Ford Escort RS 1600 MkI on two European Rally Championship events and again at Lombard RAC Rally. He scored his first ever victory at ERC's Welsh Rally.

First WRC victory in Portugal
In the World Rally Championship he became a Fiat factory driver with a salary bigger than most of rival drivers. He competed with Fiat 124 Abarth in six WRC events, scoring podium places in Portugal, Finland and USA.
In 1975 he remained the only Fiat driver, both in ERC and WRC. Co-driven by Ilkka Kivimäki, Markku Alén competed in eight WRC events and scored his first WRC victory at Rallye de Portugal. It's interesting that at his home event, 1000 Lakes Rally, Alén competed with Datsun 160J.

Finally a win at 1000 Lakes Rally
Season 1976 started with Rallye Monte-Carlo and Fiat 124 Abarth, but after that the new Fiat 131 Abarth was introduced. The new car was a big improvement over its predecessor and Alén finally won the 1000 Lakes Rally for the first time. It was his only victory in the 1976 WRC season.
The following victory ensued at the 1977 Rally de Portugal. Alén competed in eight events an helped Fiat to win their first manufacturers' title in 1977. Other drivers who scored victories for Fiat were Bernard Darniche, Jean Claude Andruet, Timo Salonen and Fulvio Bacchelli.

World title with two cars: Fiat 131 Abarth and Lancia Stratos HF
1978 season was successful both for Fiat and Markku Alén, with manufacturers' and drivers' world titles. Drivers' competition was called Cup for Rally Drivers and it was consisted not only of WRC events, but also some ERC and national events counted.
Markku Alén competed at ten races with Fiat 131 Abarth and the all-new Lancia Stratos HF, he won four times and added four more podiums, for dominant championship victory over Jean-Pierre Nicolas and Hannu Mikkola. Fiat 131 Abarth was victorious at Rally de Portugal and 1000 Lakes Rally, while Lancia Stratos HF won Rally Sanremo and Giro d'Italia. Alen's co-driver in the victorious season was Ilkka Kivimäki.
Markku Alén took the 1978 world title with two cars, the second was Lancia Stratos HF
Move to Lancia and debut with Group B car
Finnish duo Alen-Kivimäki continued to compete with Fiat for the following three seasons. Alén was third in the 1979 championship, sixth in 1980 and fourth in 1981. Fiat 131 Abarth was the victorious car in many ERC and national events, while in the WRC Alén scored three more wins (1000 Lakes Rally 1979 and 1989, Rally de Portugal 1981).
Alén drove the Lancia Stratos HF at RAC Rally in 1979 and 1981, so, after Fiat left the World Rally Championship, he moved to Lancia's team in 1982. Alen debuted with the all-new Group B Lancia 037 Rally at the 1982 Rally Costa Smeralda, which was part of ERC, and retired because of gearbox problems. Five WRC events followed in the cockpit of the Lancia 037 Rally, with three retirements and non-podium finishes at Tour de Corse and RAC Rally.

In 1983 rear-wheel Lancia 037 Rally defeated the mighty Audi Quattro
1983 season was much more successful, especially for Lancia Martini Racing team. With two victories (Tour de Corse and Rallye Sanremo) and three more podiums, Markku Alen finished third in the championship, while Lancia took manufacturers' title ahead of Audi. Martini Racing won the title with Lancia 037 Rally against Audi Quattro and it was the last rear-wheel drive car which won the world rally title.
In 1984, Markku Alen was again third in the championship, with one victory (Tour de Corse) and four podiums, while Audi retook the title from Lancia. In 1985, Lancia was still running with 037, but in the final round of the season it was replaced by the four-wheel drive Delta S4. Lancia Delta S4 immediately took double victory at 1985 Lombard RAC Rally, with Henri Toivonen as the winner and Markku Alen in second podium spot. It was the event on which MG Metro 6R4 also had debuted, with Tony Pond on third place.
1986 WRC season, in which Alén drove Lancia Delta S4, ended with controversy
Controversial end of the 1986 season
In 1986, Juha Kankkunen and Peugeot 205 Turbo 16 won the titles, Marrku Alen and Lancia took second places in drivers' and manufacturers' classifications. The season 1986 will be always remembered because of Henri Toivonen's death at Tour de Corse and the title-controversy.
During the season, Alen scored five podiums and finally won at Rallye San Remo. The Peugeot team was excluded by the organisers because of the allegedly technical faults, but after the season, FISA decided that the exclusion was illegal. The results of the rally were annulled, so Alen lost his victory and lost the title, which he had held for just eleven days. Except Sanremo, he won at American Toyota Olympus Rally.
As a protest against FISA's decision, Alen boycotted the 1987 Rallye Monte-Carlo, the first event of the season. It was the first year after Group B was banned. Alen quickly adapted to Group A Lancia Delta HF 4WD and won three of seven races. Lancia took manufacturers' titles and three Lancia drivers were on the top of the drivers' standings – Kankkunen, Biasion and Alen.
Delta HF 4WD was Alén's next car after Group B was banned
Final WRC years with Subaru and Toyota
In 1988, Markku Alen moved one step up to second place in the championship standings, after three victories in six races, including his first ever win at RAC Rally, in which he competed since 1972. It remained his last WRC victory. Lancia again was manufacturers' champion, while Alen's teammate Miki Biasion took the drivers' title.
In 1989, Alen competed in just three events with Martini's Lancia Delta Integrale and in 1990 he was driving Subaru Legacy RS at five WRC events, including 1000 Lakes Rally and he achieved fourth place finish. He continued with Subaru in 1991 and scored 3rd place finish at Swedish Rally.
Another Japanese manufacturer, Toyota, hired Markku Alen for the season of 1992. He competed at seven events with Toyota Celica Turbo 4WD, with third place finish at 1000 Lakes Rally as the best result. Season 1993 was his last WRC season, still with Ilkka Kivimäki as the co-driver. He competed with Subaru Legacy RS at Rallye de Portugal (finished 4th), with Toyota Celica Turbo 4WD at Safari Rally (finished 2nd) and with Subaru Impreza 555 at 1000 Lakes Rally (retired).

One more WRC race for 50th birthday
As many other retired fellow drivers, Markku Alén occasionally raced at various historic events and rally shows, but also as a serious competitor. He appeared as a guest driver at one more WRC event, when he celebrated his 50th birthday driving Ford Focus WRC at 2001 Neste Rally Finland and finished in the respectable 16th place.
Together with Juha Kankkunen he competed in the 2004 Finnish rallycross championship with BMW M3. Kankkunen was first, Alén was second. He participated twice in the famous Dakar Rally, first time in 2005 in the truck category together with former Lancia teammate Miki Biasion, and in 2007 with Isuzu D-Max in a car category.

Dakar, Le Mans, touring cars, ice racing - he tried it all
Markku Alén raced not only on dirty gravel roads, he tried circuit racing also. In 1980 he participated with Scuderia Lancia Corse 24 Hours of Le Mans. His teammates were Piercarlo Ghinzani and Gianfranco Brancatelli, they drove Lancia Beta Montecarlo and retired after only 26 laps.
In 1995, Alén tried Alfa Romeo 155 V6 TI in two races of DTM and two races of International Touring Car Championship. He also drove the 1994 Porsche Carrera in the one race of Porsche Carrera Cup Germany, while in 2012 he was a guest driver in Volkswagen Scirocco R Cup Germany. And finally, same as his father, Markku Alén competed in Trophy Andros ice racing championship during the late 1990s.

Ahmeenah Young, trailblazing Convention Center chief, dies
By Jonathan Takiff, Staff Writer, Philly.com
PHILADELPHIA - A trailblazer and advocate for change, Ahmeenah Young was a first of her kind who made sure she wouldn't be the last.
"She was a great role model and opened a lot of doors for others like myself," said Julie Coker Graham, president and chief executive of the Philadelphia Convention and Visitors Bureau.
"She always had a deep and abiding affection for those who are the 'least of us,' and carried that throughout her life," said longtime friend Sylvia Wright.
Ahmeenah was a true citizen/pioneer," declared Congressman Dwight Evans. "She loved the city of Philadelphia, fought the battle for change and in my view will go down as one of the greatest citizens for the sake of this city. I called her the Harriet Tubman of the hospitality industry."
On Friday, this ever "positive, vivacious, fastidious" personality died at her West Mount Airy home, just three weeks shy of what would have been her 70th birthday. The cause was cancer, said another longtime friend, Frances Jones, "though she was cheery and upbeat almost to the last day. She'd been having treatments for a year. It caught us all by surprise."
A lifelong Philadelphian, Ms.Young's trailblazing was most visible as the first African American and first female president and chief executive officer of the Convention Center – a job she held from September 2008 through December 2013 "when the board" (of the Pennsylvania Convention Center Authority) "decided to go to private management, and trooper that she was, Ahmeenah executed a perfect transition," said her predecessor in the CEO job, Al Mezzaroba.
But her impact on the Convention Center spans its existence, said Gregory Fox, chairman of the PCCA, from the late 1980s, when Ms. Young directed the center's affirmative-action team.
That was the first of several important jobs she held there, with some time off spent working as a headhunter – specializing in executive hospitality placements – and as general manager of the Independence Visitors Center Corp.
Promoted to president/CEO during the building of the Convention Center's $787 million expansion, Ms. Young made it her mission to ensure that women, minorities, disadvantaged, and small-business owners received almost one-third of the project's contracts. "While others called it a minority participation program, she preferred to call it a small-business program," said Mezzaroba. "She wanted to take small disadvantaged businesses and bring them up to an even playing field so they could bid on the big projects, not just as subcontractors. And she saw through the large companies that tried to get the contracts with just one minority owner on the books."
Ms. Young also stood up, noted Evans, to unions that didn't play fair and promoted featherbedding in the center. "I'd argue the changes you see today, she set the tone."
Born in South Philadelphia, educated at Maria Goretti High School and Temple University, where she majored in psychology, Ms. Young was a lifelong social activist, said Wright, a friend for 40 years. "Just out of college, Ahmeenah started working for the American Friends Service Committee, organizing workers, helping to elevate women, people of color. Later, she worked for the Mental Health Consortium in West Philadelphia, before going to work for the Convention Center. She was certainly steeped in the Convention Center culture, served as a great administrator, ambassador, and promoter to bring groups there. But she never lost the passion of social activism, carried that throughout her life."
After retiring from the Convention Center, Ms.Young continued to participate in the center's Expansion Art Project Committee, served on numerous boards, recently joined the Pennsylvania Gaming Control Board, and toured "all over the world" with her close-knit group of female friends, said Wright.
She also devoted time to her two grown children – a daughter, Asiya Young, and a son, Pakeso Young, and their respective sons, Kyumasi Mandela and Ayinde.
Ms. Young maintained spiritual ties to both Triumph Baptist Church and at the Mosque of Shaikh M.R. Bawa Muhaiyadden, 5820 Overbrook Ave., Philadelphia, 19131, where a janazza funeral service will be held Sunday, June 4, at 1 p.m.


Outspoken Christian real estate entrepreneurs Jason and David Benham say last week's shooting deaths of two black men by police officers in Louisiana and Minnesota and the killing of five police officers in Dallas are major signs that America is entrenched in a godless "culture of death."
The twin brothers — who gained prominence among conservative Christians when HGTV dropped their reality TV show amid pressure from LGBT activist groups opposed to their biblical view of marriage — took to Facebook last Friday to issue their thoughts about the killing of Philando Castile and Alton Sterling by police officers in Minneapolis and Baton Rouge and the killing of five Dallas police officers last Thursday.
In a video posted to their Facebook page, the former minor league baseball players stressed that the acts of violence displayed last week are side effects caused by the "removal of God from every area of the nation."
"In Genesis 6, the Lord talks about how the Earth was void of God and 'filled with violence,'" David Benham explained. "Right out of the beginning of time, when we see that we remove God, when we remove God from our lives, from our culture, from every area of our nation, violence will fill the void."
"The scripture continues in the book of Ezekiel. It says, 'bloodshed follows bloodshed.' And, we're watching violence of unprecedented order. I can't even believe we blew up a dude," David Benham added, referring to how Dallas police officers used a robot to blow up the man believed to have shot the officers. "This is craziness."
Jason Benham then argued that America's "culture of death" began when aspects of Christianity were banned from the classroom in the 1960s.
"You look in the 1960s, we removed prayer from school, Bible readings from school, the Ten Commandments were taken off of the wall. And then in response to that, 1973, abortion," Jason Benham said. "It's the culture of death that follows any time God has been removed."
Jason Benham then added that there is a direct correlation between the acceptance of "bloodshed in the womb" and the blood that was spilled in the streets last week.
"Because of the bloodshed in the womb, now we are starting to see it in the streets," Jason Benham said. "I'm telling you, it is because we as a nation have left God."
Although many feel like African-Americans and other minorities are still being treated unfairly by police in America, Jason Benham stressed that violence is never the answer. He compared the difference in approaches between Civil Rights leaders Malcolm X and the Rev. Martin Luther King Jr.
"Think about the two different men — Malcolm X and Martin Luther King Jr. Both of those guys were Civil Rights leaders but Malcolm X was doing it from a standard of black power — 'We are going to go and kill the people who are killing us,'" Jason Benham said. "Then, you have got Martin Luther King Jr., who came with a Bible, the open Bible. He said, 'The only thing that can transform our society so that people are judged not by the color of their skin but the content of their character, it was Jesus Christ coming into the human heart.' We get back to God and then that transformation takes place. Now, we have a day that honors Martin Luther King Jr. and not Malcolm X."
David Benham concluded by stressing that only Christ can alleviate the anger and hate in people's hearts.
"There is not a police force that is big enough to make a man do what is right. But there is another King who will step into the heart of a man and change him from the inside out and put his feet on a rock and put a new song in his mouth," David Benham said. "We need Jesus in this nation."

Pipeline protesters delay Trudeau speech to First Nations as demonstrations spread across Canada
The protesters expressed anger about the RCMP's intervention in a blockade in northern British Columbia, enforcing an injunction from the B.C. Supreme Court

OTTAWA — Dozens of pipeline protesters delayed an appearance by the prime minister in Ottawa on Tuesday afternoon, drumming and chanting in a government building where Justin Trudeau was set to speak.
Police kept the prime minister and Indigenous Services Minister Jane Philpott, Crown-Indigenous Relations Minister Carolyn Bennett and Environment Minister Catherine McKenna out of a Sussex Drive building in Ottawa where Trudeau was to address a forum bringing together federal officials and representatives from self-governing First Nations that have modern treaties with the Crown.

The protesters expressed anger about the RCMP's intervention in a blockade in northern British Columbia, enforcing an injunction from the B.C. Supreme Court. The injunction is to remove anyone who interferes with a Coastal GasLink pipeline project.
The demonstrations spread across Canada, with protesters also stopping traffic in Vancouver and Victoria and prompting a counter protest in front of the headquarters of the company building the pipeline at the centre of the dispute.
Members of the Gidimt'en clan of the Wet'suwet'en First Nation have set up a camp and a checkpoint southwest of Houston, B.C., on a forest-service road that leads to a pipeline construction site.

Five things to know about the LNG pipeline protest in northern B.C.
Coastal GasLink says it has signed agreements with all First Nations along the route but demonstrators say Wet'suwet'en house chiefs, who are hereditary rather than elected, have not given consent.
Coastal GasLink had obtained an injunction from the Supreme Court of B.C. ordering the removal of obstructions so preliminary work could begin on the pipeline carrying natural gas from the Dawson Creek area to Kitimat.
The RCMP said officers moved in at midday after it was determined there could be no resolution, even after meeting with locals a day earlier. It gave warning the blockade would come down.
As for the use of its tactical and emergency response teams, the force said they were deployed in addition to other officers "as part of our measured and scalable approach to enforcing the court-ordered injunction."
Fourteen people were taken into custody Monday following clashes at the blockade.
Kevin Walby, an associate professor of criminal justice at the University of Winnipeg, said social media video that has emerged shows no escalation of violence from protesters that would have necessitated the substantial police intervention.
Some protesters were thrown to the ground in a tight area, and several officers were armed with assault-style rifles.
"You also see an embarrassing sequence of events where highly trained police are pushing people to the ground," said Walby. "I don't think any SWAT team member or leader or trainer would look at those images and say that's a best practice in Canadian policing."
But Michel Wilson, a former Montreal police officer for 31 years who commanded tactical and anti-riot units during his career, said police would want to be prepared.
"Police officers don't take any chances, and they have the equipment on hand," he said, noting the RCMP team on the ground was comprised of a mix of tactical and other officers.

On Tuesday, the prime minister's address was subsequently moved to another government building close to Parliament Hill.
"In this government, you have a partner willing to figure out the path forward that is right for each of you, and eventually right for every Indigenous person in this country," Trudeau told the Indigenous leaders who had moved to the new venue with him.
"It's not going to be easy. It's not going to be done quickly."
But Trudeau said the leadership exemplified by those gathered at the forum gave him confidence in what can be accomplished in the coming years.
NDP reconciliation critic Romeo Saganash joined demonstrators on Parliament Hill on Tuesday before the group marched through downtown Ottawa streets with signs, including a large red one reading: "RCMP Off Wet'suwet'en Land."
"The RCMP respects and protects the right to peaceful demonstrations as guaranteed under the Canadian Charter of Rights and Freedoms," it said.
