Summary Chapter 5 - Asceticism and the Spirit of Capitalism
Weber now turns to the conclusion of his study, and attempts to understand the relationship between ascetic Protestantism and the spirit of capitalism. To understand how religious ideas translate into maxims for everyday conduct, one must look closely at the writings of ministers. This was the primary force in the formation of national character. For the purposes of this chapter, we can treat ascetic Protestantism as a single whole. The writings of Richard Baxter are a good model of its ethics. In his work, it is striking to see his suspicion of wealth as a dangerous temptation. His real moral objection though, is to relaxation, idleness, and distraction from the pursuit of a righteous life. Possessions are only objectionable because of this risk of relaxation; only activity promotes God's glory. Thus, wasting time is the worst of sins, because it means that time is lost in promoting God's will in a calling. Baxter preaches hard and continual mental or bodily work. This is because labor is an acceptable ascetic technique in the Western tradition, and because labor came to be seen as an end in itself, ordained as such by God. This does not change, even for those people who are wealthy, because everyone has a calling in which they should labor, and taking the opportunities for profit that God provides is part of that calling. To wish to be poor is similar to wishing to be sick, and both are morally unacceptable.
Weber then attempts to clarify the ways in which the Puritan idea of the calling and asceticism influenced the development of the capitalistic way of life. First, asceticism opposed the spontaneous enjoyment of life and its opportunities. Such enjoyment leads people away from work in a calling and religion. Weber argues, "That powerful tendency toward uniformity of life, which today so immensely aids the capitalistic interest in the standardization of production, had its ideal foundations in the repudiation of all idolatry of the flesh." Furthermore, the Puritans rejected any spending of money on entertainment that didn't "serve God's glory." They felt a duty to hold and increase their possessions. It was ascetic Protestantism that gave this attitude its ethical foundation. It had the psychological effect of freeing the acquisition if goods from traditionalist ethics' inhibitions. Asceticism also condemned dishonesty and impulsive greed. The pursuit of wealth in itself was bad, but attaining it as the result of one's labor was a sign of God's blessing.
Thus, the Puritan outlook favored the development of rational bourgeois economic life, and "stood at the cradle of the modern economic man." It is true that once attained, wealth had a secularizing effect. In fact, we see that the full economic effects of these religious movements actually came after the peak of religious enthusiasm. "The religious roots died out slowly, giving way to utilitarian worldliness." However, these religious roots left its more secular successor an "amazingly good" conscience about acquiring money, as long as it was done legally. The religious asceticism also gave the businessmen industrious workers, and assured him that inequality was part of God's design. Thus, one of the major elements of the spirit of modern capitalism, rational conduct based on the idea of a calling, was "born" from the spirit of Christian asceticism. The same values exist in both, with the spirit of capitalism simply lacking the religious basis.
Weber observes, "The Puritan wanted to work in a calling; we are forced to do so." Asceticism helped build the "tremendous cosmos of the modern economic order." People born today have their lives determined by this mechanism. Their care for external goods has become "an iron cage." Material goods have gained an unparalleled control over the individual. The spirit of religious asceticism "has escaped from the cage," but capitalism no longer needs its support. The "idea of duty in one's calling prowls about in our lives like the ghost of dead religious beliefs." People even stop trying to justify it at all.
In conclusion, Weber mentions some of the areas that a more complete study would have to explore. First, one would have to explore the impact of ascetic rationalism on other areas of life, and its historical development would have to be more rigorously traced. Furthermore, it would be necessary to investigate how Protestant asceticism was itself influenced by social conditions, including economic conditions. He says, "it is, of course, not my aim to substitute for a one-sided materialistic an equally one- sided spiritualistic causal interpretation of culture and of history."
In this chapter, Weber attempts to connect asceticism with the modern capitalistic spirit. His first describes how the Puritan ethic encouraged hard work and the pursuit of profit. These claims are closely linked to Weber's observations until now. These ascetic Protestants were looking for signs of their own salvation, and their concept of the calling made them look for those signs in worldly achievements. Spending their money on luxuries was disrespectful to God, and they were expected to pour any profits back into their callings. These values are all closely linked to the capitalistic ethic, and Weber does a good job of drawing out the sources of these values. However, the next connection Weber makes is more troubling. Weber says that from this ethic, a system of capitalism emerged that no longer required ascetic values to sustain itself. These values became the capitalist spirit, and now we are all forced to follow them. However, Weber does not tell the story of how the capitalist system emerged, and by what mechanism ascetic Puritan values were replaced by something else. This suggests a gap in Weber's theoretical model. Do you consider this to be a serious gap, or is its content suggested in other parts of his work (such as Chapter 2, on the spirit of capitalism)?

Aviation Capital Group signs for 20 A220s and 40 A320neos
From AeroTime Hub – link to source story
VYTE KLISAUSKAITE | 31 DECEMBER 2021
US-based lessor Aviation Capital Group (ACG) has signed a Memorandum of Understanding (MoU) for 20 Airbus A220s and a firm order contract for 40 Airbus A320neo family jets, five of which are Airbus A321XLRs.
"We are delighted to expand our portfolio with additional A220 and A320neo Family aircraft. These highly advanced aircraft will enhance ACG's strategic objective to offer our airline customers the most modern and fuel-efficient aircraft available," said Thomas Baker, CEO and President of ACG.
The Airbus A320neo aircraft is a standard single-aisle jet suitable for short and medium-haul operations. The aircraft has two engine options: Pratt & Whitney's PurePower PW1100G-JM geared turbofan, and CFM International's LEAP-1A. It has a maximum range of 6,400 nautical miles (11,853 kilometers) and is capable of seating up to 180 passengers.
The Airbus A220 family aircraft, including the A220-100 and A220-300 variants, are tailored to serve the 100-150 seat market. The A220-100 has a maximum range of 6,390 kilometers and the A220-300 has 6,297 kilometers. The aircraft family has only one engine option, Pratt & Whitney's latest-generation PW1500G geared turbofan engine.
"It also forcefully confirms the A220 as a growingly desirable aircraft and investment in the commercial aviation landscape. We congratulate and thank ACG for its decision to select both the A220 and A320neo Families," said Christian Scherer, Chief Commercial Officer and Head of Airbus International.

Charlottetown Airport eyes summer 2022 for travel comeback it's been waiting for
'I think we're in line to have a very good summer,' says CEO Doug Newson

As staff at the Charlottetown Airport reflect on the volatile year that was 2021, they're hoping the worst of the pandemic is now behind them and that 2022 will be the year things return back to normal.
Traffic at the airport was down over 90 per cent in the first six months of 2021, according to CEO Doug Newson.
But as restrictions began to ease, summer came and P.E.I. opened up, the airport was "relatively pleased" with the mid-July to early December numbers.
"We got back to between 50-60 per cent of normal, so still a long way to go but much better than what we saw in 2020 and certainly the first half of 2021," he told CBC News: Compass host Brittany Spencer.
"Overall, an up and down year would be a good way to describe it."
While this year may have been another difficult one for aviation, it also brought us moments of celebration and a deeper appreciation for connection and safe air travel. ✈💙

Airports in Canada received funding through federal government programs to help keep them running.
At the Charlottetown Airport, some early decisions to cut some expenses combined with some travel and funding through Ottawa helped keep the airport in business.
'I do remain very optimistic about the future of the airport,' says Newson. (Tony Davis/CBC)
"We're in much better shape coming out of this pandemic than we probably expected to be, and quite confident that the worst is behind us," he said. "As we do reemerge from the pandemic we'll be able to start reinvesting in the airport and our facilities."
The uncertainty of 2021 meant Newson and staff kept a watchful eye on travel restrictions, changing public health protocols and much more.
"It's been challenging on staff and employees … just when we do think that we've turned a corner on this, something like what we've seen in the past few weeks emerges," Newson said.
"I do remain very optimistic about the future of the airport, and even 2022 as we come out of this, and I do see much brighter days ahead."
Omicron disruptive, but summer is the goal
Omicron has already led to some turbulence for airports in Canada. The COVID-19 variant — as well as uncooperative weather — has led to cancelled flights and staff shortages across the country, but Newson is hopeful this wave will soon pass and the summer will be a big one for the airport.
Newson said there are conversations underway about adding flights and more to come with airlines such as Flair, Swoop, Air Canada and WestJet.
He expects at that point there will be much pent up demand to travel and P.E.I. "will be seen as a very safe destination for domestic tourism."

WestJet: An update on our operations and omicron COVID-19 variant impact
By Harry Taylor | December 30, 2021
Over the past 72 hours, we have seen a significant increase in delays and cancellations impacting our business. As we work to stabilize our operation to best serve our guests, we understand this has been immensely challenging and frustrating and for that we apologize.
We could not have anticipated the rapid and unpredictable impact of the Omicron variant on our people and operations, coupled with prolonged frigid temperatures across Western Canada and global staffing shortages. Despite all contingency planning, in addition to hiring back thousands of WestJetters to safely support peak operations, we find ourselves no longer able to predictably resource our planned schedule due to Omicron impact and have made the difficult decision to consolidate approximately 15 percent of scheduled flights through to January 31, 2022.
Schedule changes will be implemented over the coming days, and while consolidation is a last resort, it demonstrates the reality of the service we planned versus that we can now realistically deliver. It is the best option to ensure the availability of our frontline staff and third-party service providers, while minimizing the impact on our guests.
Our team is making every effort to consolidate flights that have the least disruption; all guests with impacted flights will be proactively notified. For any WestJet-initiated cancellation or schedule change, where the schedule change was greater than 90 minutes or one or more stops were added, guests are eligible for a refund to original form of payment if desired, or can utilize WestJet's flexible change and cancel policies. Guests are encouraged to utilize self-serve options prior to calling for assistance; guests seeking support outside of the 72-hour travel window are able to schedule a call-back.
Additional measures are urgently needed from our federal and provincial governments to minimize disruption. Canada has an envious global leadership position in vaccination rates and transportation is the only fully-vaccinated ecosystem and the most tested consumer activity in Canada. National alignment and standardization for our sector, similar to the approaches being taken by provinces to stabilize other essential services such as healthcare, would remove inconsistent provincial isolation requirements that are restricting staffing abilities. We are actively engaging with the federal and provincial governments in light of evolving scientific data available on the Omicron variant, as changes would aid us, along with our sector, in more effectively scheduling crew and employees, while maintaining essential air service for Canadian communities.
We are tremendously grateful to our guests who have continued to demonstrate patience and understanding during these uncertain times. In the face of adversity, our people and our partners have continued to rise to the challenge to ensure our guests get to where they need to go safely. We appreciate the continued support and are committed to providing transparent updates in the days ahead.

How Jenny Tung brings an expert's touch to Air Canada
Story is below Air Canada's Twitter feed.
"Who can say that in their job they put the engine on the airplane that their parents flew across the Pacific?" Air Canada Aircraft Maintenance Engineer Jenny Tung told @FlightGlobal in a recent profile.

Airliner lavatories clog up more often than you think. Just ask Jenny Tung, an aircraft maintenance engineer with Air Canada. She is intimately familiar with the toilets in the air and it is her responsibility to ensure they keep on flushing.
Jet lavatories – along with headphone jacks, seat-back adjustment buttons and entertainment system screens – are among the most touched, and most frequently used items aboard any commercial aircraft, she says.
Source: Air Canada
Jenny Tung's job requires that she travel with the Air Canada jets she maintains
Tung is qualified to fix everything from loose wires and clogged toilets to leaky engines. She is a plumber, mechanic, carpenter, technician, HVAC (heating, ventilation and air conditioning) engineer, electrician and cleaner, all rolled into one.
Call her an aircraft whisperer.
"I don't feel like I go to work every day," says Tung. "I feel like I'm going out to play with the airplanes."
The daughter of Taiwanese immigrants, Tung, 33, arrived in Canada when she was nine years old. She attended an academically-rigorous high school, where students were encouraged – and expected – to pursue university degrees.
But a year before she graduated, Tung discovered a love and a skill for repairing automobiles.
"I never knew how good I was with my hands until I started fixing cars," she says. Just before she was ready to leave for university, she decided against it.
"My father was in the military, so he was all about discipline, and he always made me fold my blanket in a square," Tung says. "But that summer I was very honest with myself. I knew that if I went away to university I was going to party my head off and not get very good grades.
"I decided to do trade school first, and maybe think about university later."
She enrolled at the British Columbia Institute of Technology, where she completed a 16-month apprenticeship programme in aircraft maintenance, a course in which she was among just a handful of women.
While studying, Tung took a part-time job as a ramp agent – "tossing around 50-pound bags" and cleaning aircraft in an attempt to get her foot in the door.
"I knew I was going to have to be competitive, or employers just wouldn't see me," she says.
After graduating in 2008, she landed in a job and career that has taken her across the country – and has exposed her to an impressively wide range of aircraft, from business jets ("the Ferraris of airplanes", she calls them) and commercial airliners ("big old buses") to helicopters.
She is now at Air Canada, based in Vancouver, type-rated as a maintenance engineer for Airbus A320s and Boeing 767s, and working on the carrier's corporate charter aircraft.
Unlike colleagues supporting Air Canada's primary scheduled operation, Tung's job requires that she travel with the jets she maintains. She might, for example, accompany a professional ice hockey team on an away-game trip criss-crossing North America for a week or more.
By comparison, most maintenance on Air Canada aircraft used for scheduled flights takes place while the jets are parked overnight.
"When we get to the ramp in the evening, we have a task card with specific jobs to complete," she says. "We do everything mechanical. If a seat back doesn't recline, we fix it. If an engine doesn't start, we repair the problem. If a lavatory needs to be unclogged, we do that too. So we have to know the aircraft very well."
Tung's responsibilities include performing maintenance on "everything mechanical"
Tung credits numerous mentors with helping set her up for success – people who went out of their way to treat her as a peer in a segment of the aviation industry that is still more than 97% male.
"A lot of people in maintenance will treat you differently just because of you being female," she says. "My mentors never did that. They always gave me the same opportunities.
"I always joke with the guys that my purse is usually heavier than that toolbox," she says.
But the journey has not been all fun and joshing. When economic hardship comes, it often affects the aviation industry first – and its workers.
"I got laid off eight times so far. That's kind of just part of aviation," Tung says. "The economy has fluctuated a lot. But I'm still here. I'm still doing this."
Every time one door closed, every time crisis struck one part of the industry, Tung found new opportunities, and kept on learning.
But what is the best part about working on big jets? For Tung, it is watching an engine come back to life following repairs.
"After certain checks, we have to do an engine run to make sure that it's not leaking or malfunctioning. It's very rewarding because you can see you did everything right, everything works and the engine performs the way it's supposed to."
On a recent night shift, Tung helped secure a repaired engine to the wing of a 787.
"In the morning, my parents took off to go back to Taiwan on that same aircraft," she says. "Who can say that in their job they put the engine on the airplane that their parents flew across the Pacific? That's a tremendous amount of responsibility and honour.
"I know the impact I have makes a huge difference," she adds.
Which brings Tung back to the clogged toilet. So how do technicians clear the pipes?
"We have what's called a lavatory snake. So we activate that toilet, and it creates a vacuum. We use the suction of one lavatory to unclog the other," she says.
"It's interesting and pretty disgusting. But it's important too."

WestJet says it has seen a significant increase in flight delays and cancellations over the past 72 hours.
It says it can no longer predictably staff its scheduled flights.
"Schedule changes will be implemented over the coming days, and while consolidation is a last resort, it demonstrates the reality of the service we planned versus that we can now realistically deliver," said WestJet President and CEO Harry Taylor in a statement. "It is the best option to ensure the availability of our frontline staff and third-party service providers, while minimizing the impact on our guests."
The announcement comes as more than 850 flights were cancelled in the U.S. on Wednesday, according to data from the flight-tracking website FlightAware. There were nearly 1,300 cancellations for flights entering, leaving or inside the U.S. Tuesday, and about 1,500 on Monday.
WestJet says guests whose flights are cancelled or rescheduled by the airline will be eligible for a refund. Guests with impacted flights will be notified by the airline.
Air Canada Congratulates Captain Judy Cameron on Being Named to the Order of Canada
MONTREAL, Dec. 29, 2021 /CNW Telbec/ – Today, the office of Her Excellency the Right Honourable Mary Simon, Governor General of Canada, named Captain Judy Cameron as one of the newest appointees to the Order of Canada.
"On behalf of everyone at Air Canada, we salute and applaud Judy on receiving Canada's highest honour that recognizes outstanding achievement, dedication to the community and service to the nation, and enriching the lives of others while making a difference to this country. Judy has been a trailblazer throughout her entire career, and she continues to be a tremendous ambassador, tireless mentor and inspiration to the next generation of female pilots. Warmest congratulations, Judy!" said Arielle Meloul-Wechsler, Executive Vice President, Chief Human Resources Officer and Public Affairs.
Judy Cameron became the first female pilot hired by Air Canada, Canada's largest airline, in April 1978 at the age of 23. She was the first woman to graduate from Selkirk College's Aviation Technology Program in 1975. Throughout her flying career of 40 years and over 23,000 hours, she has flown the DC-3, Twin Otter, Hawker Siddeley 748, DC-9, Lockheed 1011, Airbus 320, Boeing 767 and Boeing 777 to the far corners of the world. She became a captain in 1997 and in 2010, she became the first female captain in Canada of a Boeing 777, the largest aircraft in Air Canada's fleet. She retired in 2015, received the Elsie MacGill Northern Lights award in the Flight Operations category that year, and in 2016 she was chosen by the 99s (International Organization of Women Pilots) to be on its Canadian postage stamp. Today, Captain Cameron continues her volunteer work mentoring and supporting the next generation of female pilots with the Northern Lights Aero Foundation.
In 2019, Air Canada proudly launched the Captain Judy Cameron Scholarship in her honour with the goal of helping the next generation of women follow in her trailblazing footsteps. To date, eight scholarships have been distributed to help young women pursue non-traditional professional aviation careers as commercial pilots or aircraft maintenance engineers.

"It's a crisis and our territory needs us": Iqaluit Water Crisis eased by network of partners
Ottawa, December 20, 2021
We are now more than two months into the Iqaluit Water Crisis. Winter has settled in. The public emergency has made international headlines. Iqalungmiut have endured: From neighbours getting river water for Elders to volunteers standing out in the cold to hand out bottles of water. Trying times often bring out the best in people and communities.
That's true behind the scenes too, where a number of organizations have been crucial in getting water to Iqalungmiut. Their workers have had to pour dozens of overtime hours into their job. The work-life balance so many of us seek has been temporarily thrown out the window. But you won't hear any of those workers complain.
"This is unprecedented, but everyone realizes what it's for," Hussam Beg said. Hussam manages Frobisher Bay Touchdown Services in Iqaluit, which normally provides ground services for military, air ambulances and private planes. Since the crisis started, though, Hussam has been working closely with other Iqaluit partners to make sure a steady stream of potable water is still getting to residents.
"We're working hand-to-hand and shoulder-to-shoulder and it's developed a really good camaraderie," Hussam said, just in from the cold after helping Canadian North cargo staff unload a CargoJet packed with bottled water and load another jet with cargo bound for Ottawa.
His staff get to meet and joke around with staff from other organizations and invite them back to their base for coffee, Hussam said.
"Everyone in their hearts knows that we're helping, so we get that warm fuzzy feeling of bringing people together in a time of crisis. That wasn't intended, it's just a by-product," said Hussam.
And it's not just his staff that have rallied to chip in – it's other organizations and individuals that Hussam is quick to give credit to.
"I'm so thankful if I have time to go collect water for myself that it's volunteers I know standing out in the cold, giving out water – and they're doing it for free," he said.
On airside, Frobisher Touchdown Services also gives their apron space to Air Canada jets flying in about once a week to deliver water, Hussam said.
Another local partner that Hassam said deserves a lot of recognition is Mike Wilkins and his team over at RL Hanson.
Mike's team has been solely responsible for delivering the tonnes and tonnes of bottled water that has been arriving jetload after jetload from the airport into the actual community.
Sometimes that means helping Canadian North staff break down up to 52 pallets of water on the tarmac before it freezes, Mike said.
"At the end of the day everybody just tries to come together. It's not ideal, but we're all getting through it," he said.
Each pallet carries from 1,000 to 1,400 kilograms of water, Mike said.
"Everyone's a bit tired and can get on edge sometimes, but everybody realizes what we're doing and what it's for – and that's something we're proud of and happy to help out with," he added.
Mike, who has called Iqaluit home for nearly 20 years, said he's never seen anything like this crisis. During sealift season, if ships pile up in the bay because of bad weather, his staff can work around the clock to make sure Iqalungmiut get their cargo. But this water crisis was, of course, unexpected and his company has to fill its regular contracts, like snow removal and school bussing services, at the same time.
"We've had a couple of payrolls creeping up to 175, 180 hours," for individual employees over a two-week period, he said.
And this crisis has happened while the whole territory has been adjusting to COVID for nearly two years now.
Because of that, Mike and some of his staff haven't been able to take a holiday for two years.
"I don't know if there's light at the end of the tunnel yet because we haven't looked up long enough to see if there's one there," Mike said.
"It's been a challenge, but hey, it's a crisis and our territory needs us," he added.
Partners in the South have been crucial in getting water to the Iqaluit airport for Hussam's and Mike's team to help Canadian North unload, unpack and get into the city.
Simon Gadbois is the Operations Manager of Arctic Consultants, a freight forwarding company and food supplier that has been serving Nunavik, Nunavut and the High Arctic for nearly 40 years.
The key to responding to this crisis has been speed and flexibility, Simon said.
"I think we got our first call from the Government of Nunavut at 9 AM and by that same afternoon we were delivering water to Canadian North in Ottawa," he said.
Like the others, Simon said his team has been very willing to put in extra work during the crisis.
"This is a major crisis in a big city like Iqaluit with nearly 10,000 people. Having no water – we cannot imagine what it'd be like," he said.
It's that empathy and understanding that motivates him and his team to put in the hours.
But it's presented some logistical challenges.
"Nobody was expecting that volume of water to be needed," Simon said.
Arctic Consultant scoured the whole country for water suppliers to meet the Government of Nunavut's orders, settling mostly on suppliers in Ontario and Quebec, he added.
They deliver about 40 tonnes of water per plane load and have orders for 14 plane loads on deck.
Simon said his staff are really taking the company's motto – "Melting the distance" – to heart.
"How can we melt the distance? Wherever water is, we'll bring it to an airport to get it to Iqaluit," he said.
"Everyone understands the situation, that it's an emergency. It's extra work but it's extra reward too. We're proud to be helping."
Canadian North has also partnered with the City of Iqaluit for the distribution of the water, as well as CargoJet, Air Canada and Chrono Aviation in getting water to Iqaluit.
Canadian North partnered with numerous other airlines and contractors to bring 33 flights full of bottled water to Iqaluit by the end of November. That includes jets operated by Canadian North, Air Canada and CargoJet as well as Hercules turboprop planes. So far, the total amount of water transported to Iqaluit by Canadian North is approximately 2.5 million bottles or 1.25 million litres. For comparison, an Olympic-size pool holds 2.5 million litres. Canadian North continues to work with its partners to ensure a steady flow of potable water reaches Iqaluit.

Air force reporting progress in fight for pilots as COVID-19 ravages airlines
By The Canadian Press | Tue., December 28, 2021
OTTAWA – The commander of the Royal Canadian Air Force is reporting progress in his long-running fight to recruit and retain more pilots.
In an interview with The Canadian Press, Lt.-Gen. Al Meinzinger says the air force needs 90 more pilots to fly the military's planes and helicopters.
The air force is supposed to have about 1,500 pilots and was short around 225 at the end of December 2019.
Meinzinger notes the military has rolled out a number of initiatives over the past two years to address the problem.
They include a pay increase for pilots and a reorganization that reduced the overall number of pilots needed.
Meinzinger says it's unclear how much a slowdown in hiring by commercial airlines during the pandemic has helped, and he worries the air force's gains could be temporary if airlines begin hiring again.
This report by The Canadian Press was first published Dec. 28, 2021.

One of Alberta's STARS first pilots retires after 35 years
From Global News – link to source story and video
By Michael King, Global News | December 23, 2021
Greg Curtis, one of the first pilots for STARS Air Ambulance back in 1985, is retiring after 35 years of flying with the organization. Michael King reports on some of the advancements Curtis has brought to STARS.
Link to story video
If you've ever seen the unmistakable red of the STARS Air Ambulance, there's no doubt Greg Curtis was at the controls at least once.
Now, the veteran pilot who played a key role in launching the organization 35 years ago has retired.
Curtis was one of the first pilots with the organization back in 1985. From the beginning, he knew the service would quickly become an important part of Alberta's first response network.
"In the United States, (air ambulances) were starting to really pick up speed in terms of being a real factor and in moving people," said Curtis. "I knew that was happening and I was really interested in it."
As technology improved, Curtis ensured that STARS was always at the forefront.
In 2003, he brought night vision goggles to the organization, making STARS the first civilian air carrier to use them in Canada.
STARS unveils next generation helicopters in Manitoba
"The goggles brought us a perspective of where we could see and what was happening," said Curtis in a 2015 documentary released by STARS. "They've had a tremendous impact in terms of how we operate especially into the mountainous regions at night."
When it came to Curtis's 3,300 missions, he knows there were many highs and lows.
Instead of dwelling on every outcome, Curtis said he was focused on the aviation aspects of the flights.
"If I had a philosophy, it would always be just making sure that we can get there safely and get home," said Curtis.
"There really wasn't anything more important to me than the crew, my aircraft and my colleague beside me."
STARS chief operating officer Mike Lamacchia said having Curtis retire after 35 years will be felt by everyone in the organization.
"He took a leap of faith and he put his whole soul into STARS," said Lamacchia. "The impact that he's had on patients, families, friends, colleagues… that's something that never leaves you."

Curtis said he will miss traversing across Alberta's beautiful landscape, and that any more flying will likely be as passenger, preferably on the way to some untouched power in Rockies.
He adds that he'll be keeping an eye out for his colleagues as they continue their important work.
"They fly over my house every day and they kind of torment me," Curtis laughed. "I appreciate them."
Weather forces large Alaska-bound cargo plane to land in Whitehorse
Airport staff accommodated the aircraft that had been traveling from Seoul
Luke Carroll · CBC News · December 27, 2021
Bad weather conditions forced a Western Global cargo airplane to land at the Erik Nielsen Whitehorse International Airport on Dec. 26. (Submitted by Simon Blakesley.)
Whitehorse residents passing the airport on Boxing Day afternoon may have noticed a large and unusual visitor.
This was a Western Global cargo aircraft that was forced to divert from its route to Alaska due to poor weather and land at the Erik Nielsen Whitehorse International Airport.
Simon Blakesley is an aviation photographer who was about to go for his annual Boxing Day walk around 1 p.m., when he heard the aircraft would be arriving on a radio scanner.
"I heard the Western Global call … on the airport tower frequency, which, Western Global? I don't think they've ever come to Whitehorse before for any reason," he said. "So that just made my ears prick, that 'why would a Western Global freighter aircraft like that be talking to our control tower?' "
Western Global Airlines is a Florida-based air cargo transportation service.
Blakesley said once he realized the plane would be landing, he grabbed his camera gear — which he always keeps close — and headed straight to the airport. He said he missed the landing, but arrived in time to take some photos of the aircraft on the tarmac.
"It is one of the biggest that I've seen here," Blakesley said of the cargo plane.
Nigel Cripps, the airport manager, said Nav Canada was notified of the arrival about 30 minutes before the aircraft landed.
The cargo aircraft, known as McDonnell Douglas MD-11, was traveling from Seoul to Anchorage, Alaska.
Cripps said bad weather around Alaska meant it needed a different place to land.
As the aircraft was arriving internationally, Cripps notified border services. He said Air North ramp staff then assisted the arriving airplane with its landing.
Josh Clark is Air North's director of charter, fixed base operations, and corporate.
Clark said Air North has a fixed base operation at the Whitehorse airport that offers supports, including de-icing and refueling, to planes landing for whatever reason.
"They're northern based, they're highly trained," he said. "Their key goal every day is to ensure safe and reliable operations… whether it's a scheduled or unscheduled arrival. They marshal the aircraft in and make sure it's on the ground safely and basically tuck it in."
As Whitehorse is on a popular flight path, Cripps said these types of situations can happen every few years.
"Generally as an airport, we're well equipped to handle most situations," he said.
The international status of the airport has added benefits for pilots who find themselves in any sort of emergency situation in the North, as it has a large runway that can accommodate bigger aircraft — like the Western Global one.
Cripps said the arrival did make for an eventful Boxing Day and credited everyone who helped with the situation, which included the airfield maintenance staff who braved blowing snow and cold temperatures.
"I think all the people involved handled it really well," he said.
Cripps said the aircraft was still at the Whitehorse airport as of Monday morning, but he expects it will depart by the end of the day.

Housing plan Q&A: Will new reforms help the current crisis?
Reforms will probably prove to be narrowly effective but fundamental problems on housing remain
Housing plan Q&A: Will new reforms help the current crisis? File Photograph: Dara Mac Dónaill
Jack Horgan-Jones
Wed May 19 2021 - 15:55
The package of housing reforms announced last night will probably prove to be narrowly effective, but the Government's fundamental problems on housing remain. Will the new reforms help, or do they risk a backlash, division in Government, and ushering in a range of new political risks for the coalition?
Just what have they decided, and what does it all mean?
So, bulk buying is off the cards now, right?
Yes and no. A certain type of bulk buying, in a certain area, is (or will be shortly). But in other areas, and among certain housing types, it's still allowed.
First of all, what's banned now?
Almost immediately, two changes will come into effect. Tonight, the Dáil will vote to impose a higher stamp duty of ten per cent on purchases of ten or more houses or duplexes. Apartments are exempt (more on that later).
These stamp reforms are the only taxation element brought to the table by Minister for Finance Paschal Donohoe.
Today, Minister for Housing Darragh O'Brien will send a circular to local authorities mandating that houses and duplexes in new developments must be made available for sale by individual, non-commercial buyers. Again, there are exemptions for social and affordable reasons, and the condition will lapse for any units not sold in two years. It's understood Ministers were told yesterday that O'Brien is considering, on the advice of the Attorney General, whether additional legislation is needed to "bolster" this guidance – that could be one to watch.
That's it for now?
There's a second stage to the planning reforms. The Government will introduce amendments to the Affordable Housing Bill, currently working its way through the Oireachtas, over the summer which will mandate local authorities to make a certain percentage of new builds available for purchase by "owner-occupiers". Originally intended this would apply to first time buyers only, and it's not clear why this change was introduced at the last minute.
It was originally intended that this would only apply to houses and duplexes, but after Green Ministers raised concerns at cabinet about the exclusion of apartments from the measures, O'Brien has committed to examining whether this could be extended to include apartments.
So, will it work?
It depends what you mean by "work". From the Government's point of view, these policies were designed to tackle a very specific problem – the purchase of houses which had been designed for and marketed to owner-occupiers by investment funds. Gazumping, effectively, of punters by funds. And they'll probably curtail that, but not for a while, as the rules only apply to new planning permissions.
However, that's only half the story.
What's the other half?
The current debate over funds isn't really about one transaction, or one particular type of deal. It has reignited and animated the entire political debate about housing, which had lain dormant (to a degree) during the height of the Covid crisis.
The political risk associated with failures in housing policy has crystallised rapidly. The themes of insiders and outsiders, winners and losers, which dominated the last election cycle have returned, and been given a new lease of life, in the form of "funds versus people". What's clear from a close reading of the Government decision is that funds are going nowhere. While Government actions might target some aspects of how they work, they're centrally involved in housing policy – especially for apartments and the private rental sector, a rapidly growing market segment.
Apartments are particularly attractive to investment funds, and Ministers were told yesterday that their construction is especially reliant on financing from these funds. "In order for apartment complexes to be built it is necessary in virtually all cases for an institutional investor to commit through a binding contract to purchase all or part of an apartment complex on completion," a memo for cabinet reads. Ministers were told institutional investors will only fund this development if they can easily sell apartments on, which could be hurt by an extra stamp charge.
Builders say apartment construction is basically non-viable without funds involved.
Ministers were also told that there is a ministerial policy objective to "ensure that own-door housing in lower density housing estates are not bulk-purchased for rental purposes by commercial institutional investors in a manner that causes the displacement of individual household purchasers".
So these two dynamics – wanting to preserve funding for apartment blocks, and encourage home ownership in less dense areas, were core to Government thinking.
What are the politics of all this?
The reforms tackle a specific problem, but critics argue they do nothing to address more endemic problems around affordability, and risk damaging urban sustainability by incentivising renting in city centres and home ownership on the edge of town. They also preserve the role for investment funds in the wider market.
As we've seen, that's basically a government goal, but it means there will be a steady supply of examples where funds purchase homes, which will ram home for some people the idea that the Government is prioritising financial interests over homes for people. There is a huge market for rental investment, as shown by a story in our property pages today about a bidding war for a €1 billion, 2,000 unit private rented sector "platform".
These reforms, while they may be narrowly successful when viewed on their own terms, leave the Government open to the charge of a missed opportunity. The visible relief of big property companies, expressed in rising stock market prices this morning, won't help this impression.
The Government will call foul, and argue (with some justification) that things aren't that simple, pointing to their affordable housing and land development agency bills as evidence they want to solve more systemic problems. But the political risk is in the here and now.
Within the coalition, the apartment exemptions are causing particular problems among the Greens. Sources in the party say that there was an agreed position among some members of the parliamentary party, that densities or housing types – such as apartments – could not be excluded from the reforms. It seems these concerns were raised by ministers, but for whatever reason, the Greens lost the argument around the cabinet table. However, as comments from MEP Ciarán Cuffe this morning show, there is a sizable rump of dissatisfaction within the party over how things have played out. Mr Cuffe said he is "disappointed" with the reforms, and that he understands "several of my parliamentary colleagues in the Oireachtas are of a similar view".
It's not confined to the Greens, either. James Geoghegan, the Fine Gael candidate in Dublin Bay South, put down a motion supported by party colleagues last week arguing the concentration of build-to-let is "distorting competition, inflating rents and locking a generation away from home ownership". He said on Wednesday he supports the Government policy, but that he would like to see a "rebalancing" to include apartments to some extent in rules curtailing bulk purchase. He said the market needs to be "rebalanced… either through planning or legislation, because the only way a citizen can be protected against that amount of finance is to legislate for it".

Q: Parameter is not valid Exception I am try to upload image from an iPhone using a webservice but I got an Exception like -

{System.ArgumentException: Parameter is not valid.    at
  System.Drawing.Image.FromStream(Stream stream, Boolean
  useEmbeddedColorManagement, Boolean validateImageData)}

in following code
string acFolder = Server.MapPath("~/Images/");
string imgname = DateTime.UtcNow.ToString().Replace(" ", "").Replace("AM", "").Replace("PM", "").Replace("/", "").Replace("-", "").Replace(":", "") + ".jpeg";

byte[] imageBytes = Convert.FromBase64String(image.Replace(" ", "+"));
MemoryStream ms = new MemoryStream(imageBytes, 0, imageBytes.Length);

// Convert byte[] to Image
ms.Write(imageBytes, 0, imageBytes.Length);
System.Drawing.Image image2 = System.Drawing.Image.FromStream(ms,true,true);
image2.Save(acFolder + imgname);

I got the exception in this line
   System.Drawing.Image image2 = System.Drawing.Image.FromStream(ms,true,true);

A: Given that it's an ArgumentException it's to do with one of the arguments passed to the FromStream method.
If you open the second of the two links above you'll see from the documentation that an ArgumentException is raised when the stream passed does not represent a valid image format (you can confirm this by checking the exception's ParamName property.
So that means the format of the image that is being uploaded is not supported by the Image class.  Either that, or the bytes of the image are being screwed in some way.  That would seem to be supported by your own code - where you replace the '+' with ' ' in the base 64 string.  Base64 is not intended to have spaces in it - take that line of code out.
Update
Since you say it doesn't work without it - I'm guessing the data is being passed in a manner where an incoming '+' is being interpreted as a space and that's why you're trying to reinstate them.  If sent in a request body this shouldn't happen, so since it is I'm guessing the iPhone app and your server need to use Modified base64 for URLs instead.

Heatpumps and Solar
Performance analysis of a solar thermal system coupled with a ground source heat pump in Nordic conditions

The main objective of this work is to investigate the energy and exergy performance of a solar assisted ground source heat pump for a school building designed according to Norwegian passive house standard. The system is designed in such a way that the solar collector prioritizes to provide heat to the hot water tank and whenever there is excess heat from the solar collector it can be used to charge the ground borehole. A detailed thermodynamic analysis of the system has been carried out in Engineering Equation Solver (EES). Isobutane (R600a), propane (R290), ammonia (R717) and solstice (R1234ze(E)) have been investigated as working fluid for the heat pump. The result revealed that the solar collector and the different working media have affected both the COP and the exergy of the system. Moreover, the mass flow rate of the brine and the length of the borehole affect the performance of the system.

About Johanna
I was born and raised in Saltcoats, in the heart of our region, and currently live in Skelmorlie. I have been championing the Labour cause here at every election since I joined the Party aged 16 years old.
I know, and care deeply about, the issues facing constituents here - the desperate need to deliver high quality jobs to our area and lift people out of poverty.
Having chaired my local CLP and represented you on the SEC for the last 6 years I believe I'm well placed to reach out to all members across the region to build an election winning team.
I was a candidate at the last Scottish Parliamentary Election in Renfrewshire North and West where we moved Labour's position up from third to second place – the only constituency in Scotland to achieve that.
And as a leading campaigner and trade unionist I believe I have the skills and experience needed to take the fight to the SNP and be a powerful advocate for the West of Scotland, Mid Scotland and Fife on the SEC.
My Labour Party Experience
I am a sitting member of the Scottish Executive Committee and current Vice-Chair of the National Executive Committee. I have served on the SEC for 6 years. I served on the NEC from 2010 - 2016 and was re-elected again in April 2020. As a representative on the NEC I personally visited over 183 CLPs across the country to report back to and consult with Labour members.
In these roles I have chaired national party conference, sat on selection and dispute panels, organised campaigns, shaped policy development and worked with the whole range of Party stakeholders.
I have also previously served as Chair of my CLP and as a CLP Secretary for Camberwell & Peckham CLP for 13 years, as Chair of Southwark LCF, Lane ward organiser and branch secretary. During this time I played a significant role in helping Labour regain control of Southwark Council, seeing a massive growth in the vote for all our council candidates and wining all three Parliamentary Seats in Southwark for the Labour Party.
My real life experience
I am a Regional Organiser, and Head of Local Government, for UNISON Scotland. I lead negotiations on behalf of the joint local government trade unions with COSLA and the Scottish Government. During the pandemic I have been leading negotiations to protect workers on the frontline of the Covid response – shaping government policy, negotiating workplace agreements and leading the call for greater investment in Local Government. In our last round of pay negotiations I led negotiations which secured the highest pay uplift for local government workers on the lowest wages that has ever achieved in a single year settlement.
My granddad was a polish migrant and miner in Killoch pit and had a heavy influence on my values but everything I have achieved professionally and politically has been through hard graft and determination. I was the first person in my family to go to university and my working life started with a part-time job as a veterinary assistant in my school holidays.
I worked in a BT call centre to fund my way through university and it was there that I became a CWU rep, fighting for my colleagues and I to secure permanent contracts and the ability to go to the bathroom without having to put our hands up to stop the automatic dialler.
Once I finished my degree I secured a position on the TUCs Organising Academy and was seconded to work for PCS, organising for recognition in the Learning and Skills Councils. I moved to PCS HQ where I became a negotiator working with members in the Ministry of Defence and led negotiations on the Overseas Allowances for UK employed personnel.
I spent the next 13 years working for Connect (which became Prospect following a merger) where I negotiated with BT and a number of other private sector telecommunication companies.
I care deeply about workers rights and was proud to lead the call at Labour's 2015 National Policy forum for the Party's election manifesto to commit to abolishing the Tory-introduced Employment Tribunal fees, which have since been found to be unlawful.
I am a skilled advocate with experience of giving evidence to Parliamentary committees, managing casework and providing individual representation and advice to trade union members.
My knowledge of employment law and the challenges facing workers on the frontline have given me an understanding and appreciation of the issues facing the world of work that will help inform the debate about how we build back better post-Covid.
And my passion for the environment and the natural world has instilled in me a commitment to ensuring the recovery is a green one - I have travelled extensively, volunteered in Africa working with some of the worlds most endangered animals and have seen first-hand the damage being done to our planet.
I am an experienced public speaker who has given numerous speeches to national Party conferences, at affiliate conferences and events (the Fabian Society, Fabian Women's Network, Chinese for Labour etc).
My campaigning skills:
I am a committed campaigner who shows up for campaigning whatever the weather. As a previous Scottish Labour Parliamentary candidate, who broke her leg on the eve of the short campaign but who kept the campaign going, I believe I have demonstrated resilience and the ability to keep the Labour flag flying even in the most difficult of circumstances.
I have acted as a campaign organiser and election agent and have considerable experience of strategic campaign planning. I understand the importance of engagement with our electorate and the need to reach out beyond our base to all communities.
I like talking to people and my many years on the doorstep means I've encountered most scenarios and am rarely phased. I work with all colleagues in our CLP, on the NEC and SEC from a range of different backgrounds and all wings of the Party – always seeking to reach common cause and work with that which unites rather than divides us.
My commitment to equality and diversity:
I am passionate about creating a more equal society and know that we will only achieve that if we celebrate diversity and champion the voices of those who are so often under-represented.
I believe the recent EHRC report that found our Party had broken the very equality laws we introduced in Government was a dark day in our history. We must do everything we can to rebuild trust with the communities that were harmed by this and redouble our efforts to eradicate all forms of discrimination from both our party and our society. As an NEC member I was proud to support our Action Plan to Drive Out Antisemitism from the Labour Party, a crucial step on that journey.

Welcome to Bethesda
Getting ahead in a relaxed fashion.
For much of the 19th Century, Bethesda was nothing more than a country crossroads named after a local church, but it grew steadily after the installation of a streetcar between the more prosperous towns of Georgetown and Rockville. After World War II, the National Naval Hospital and the National Institutes of Health were built in the area, and Bethesda flooded with federal workers, military personnel and contractors. Today it's grown into a vibrant community in its own right with several corporate headquarters and a high-density downtown.
While this DC suburb used to be well on the fringes of urban life and entertainment, today's Bethesda is anything but boring. With a bustling, pedestrian-friendly downtown featuring high-end dining and shops, this self-confident community is on the move.
Idyllic residential living with downtown options.
Bethesda's wide side streets and large houses feel far away from the stress of Washington, while its downtown core has options for those who want a higher energy lifestyle. The whole town has a very efficient public transportation system with Metro and bus service, but traffic is still an issue along Wisconsin Avenue and Old Georgetown Road. From parking to shopping to an abundance of medical care and professional services, Bethesda combines the conveniences of the suburbs with the urbanity of a small city.
Adventurous with a focus on well-being.
Residents take advantage of the numerous arts options like galleries and theater, and love eating out at a bevy of restaurants. Bethesda is also a very health-conscious community, and there are many businesses that cater to fitness and a healthy lifestyle. There is ample green space such as the Capital Crescent trail linking to Georgetown and Silver Spring as a popular route for runners and bikers.
Condominiums near downtown.
Bethesda is full of older homes have been refurbished or replaced with larger, modern housing. More modern, luxury condominiums have joined some of the older stock of apartments built downtown.
Not needing to drive into the city to enjoy city life.
If you love eating out, you'll be at home here with a variety of outposts of DC restaurants as well as new places unique to Bethesda to try.

Archaeology Plus – new art and archaeology project for Orkney's Blide Trust
by seanlisle1 Wednesday, June 20, 2018 (12:14am) Tuesday, March 30, 2021 (4:50pm)
Orkney Blide Trust in partnership with Orkney College UHI and the University of the Highlands and Islands (UHI) Archaeology Institute are embarking on a joint project to find out more about the history of 54 Victoria Street, Kirkwall, the 18th Century house where the Blide Trust is based.
The Blide Trust building in Kirkwall, Orkney.
The Orkney Blide Trust is a mental health charity that has been supporting people in Orkney for over 25 years. It believes people can and do recover from mental illness and it provides a number of services to give the support individuals need.
"We have been planning this project for the past year and it is only now possible due to the £6,100 received from the Heritage Lottery Fund thanks to National Lottery Players, for which we are very grateful", said Frazer Campbell, service director at the Orkney Blide Trust.
The Heritage Lottery Fund (HLF) believe that understanding, valuing and sharing our heritage brings people together, inspires pride in communities and boosts investment in local economies. Archaeology Plus will bring people together in the way envisaged by the Heritage Lottery Fund and increase the skills of the people the Blide supports.
Lucy Casot, head of the Heritage Lottery Fund, Scotland said: "Uncovering where, and how, our ancestors lived helps communities to understand their own history and identity. Thanks to National Lottery players, HLF is able to support projects such as Archaeology Plus that produce tantalising clues about the past and provide volunteers with new skills."
Joanne Wallace, assistant principal, Orkney College UHI added: "We are delighted to be working with Orkney Blide Trust on this exciting project. We have been exploring and discussing various possibilities and we are thrilled that National Lottery Players through HLF have supported us – we are now eagerly awaiting what will be revealed in the gardens of 54 Victoria Street and how this inspires further creative projects. Please do visit on the 29th and 30th June".
A number of activities are being planned all of which will have a connection to the digging of a test pit in the back garden that will feature a pop-up laboratory for processing and recording finds. UHI Archaeology Institute Lifelong Learning and Outreach Archaeologist Dan Lee said "We are looking forward to working with Blide Trust members on this exciting programme of activities which we hope will contribute new discoveries to the story of Kirkwall"
There will be creative writing, arts and crafts based on what is happening at the dig with guidance and tuition provided by a number of lecturers from Orkney College UHI. It is hoped that a video will be produced and an exhibition held to explain the project and display the finds and creative work.
We start Friday 22nd June with an archive research day where Dr Sarah Jane Gibbon and Blide Trust members will examine the history of Blide House and the surrounding area of Kirkwall.
The test-pit dig will run over two days, starting on Friday 29th to Saturday 30th June. The Blide Trust is opening its doors so anyone can call in and see what is going on. More details are available by telephoning the Blide on 01856 874 874.
The test-pit dig will be open between 10 am and 4 pm on Friday 29th June and Saturday 30th June 2018. During these hours the Blide will be open to the public to come along and see what is going on.
For more information contact Frazer Campbell, Service Director, Orkney Blide Trust on (01856) 874874 or visit their website.

Home Jane Akshar Consultancy How old is your backup, have you even got one?
How old is your backup, have you even got one?
I recently had a disaster on my computer when an accidental knock meant I splashed water on my computer just when I had taken on 2 new clients.
I have a spare really, really slow computer so I could carry on working on but what about all my data especially emails.
Because of the unreliability of both electricity and internet in Egypt I download my emails from Gmail to Outlook on my laptop. I like Outlook as I have a really sophisticated folder system and it allows me to search on anything. The default place to store the pst file is in an obscure place in the systems files but I keep the pst file in a folder in My Documents. This folder like ALL my data is backed up every 10 minutes. Actually it is not a backup but a copy which means I can access each individual file easily. I use a product called Goodsync which analyses my files and this that have changed it copies to an external hard drive.
I suggest you get one which is the biggest you can buy but at least 3 times the size of your current data.
Good sync can be set up anyway you want, two way copy, one way copy, remove deleted files anything. Having accidentally deleted some files I didn't mean too I don't suggest you mirror deletions.
The initial copy can take a long time depending on how much data you have to backup but after that it works seamlessly in the background and when you have a disaster you know the most you have lost is, in my case, 10 minutes of data.
Or you can use any other backup system or software you like.
So I was able to whip my external back up off and transfer to my old PC and carry on working while the damaged one was fixed. I kept my emails on Gmail so when the laptop was fixed I would be able to download the emails.
The only thing I had neglected to do was backup my bookmarks. A task to sort out now I have got it back.
If you have a website have you arranged backups for it?
How often have you read in the papers about people losing precious memories so please backup, backup, backup.

Our Calming Relief Cream was Nutralife Wellness' first foray into really testing our in-house formulator to make more than just your average cream sprinkled with some hemp oil. What we got back from this tall order was more than we could have ever expected – it is truly the best all-natural cream on the market for everyday discomforts. As a company, we seek to be more than just evangelists for hemp products, but also true advocates for pushing the health and wellness industry as a whole forward.
The key to our Calming Relief Cream is in the details. Being longtime personal users of hemp extract creams, we were surprised to find how many topicals either just sat on top of the skin without absorption, or went straight into the bloodstream. Both are less than ideal as a vessel for hemp's essential constituents. After extensive R&D and trials over 100+ ingredients, we finally arrived at the cream we were proud to put our name on.
Below you will see how our handpicked ingredients harmoniously weave together to deliver the true muscle relief and recovery you have always looked for in a hemp cream. Relieving is believing.

She received her education at Assumption College and Stony Brook University and was awarded an Honorary Doctorate from Iona College.
The Participant At The Center
Patients and their caregivers - particularly in the case of patients who with serious or life-threatening illnesses - are tired of waiting on the sidelines for research to come to them (for example, to find them for clinical trials or to address questions of importance to patients). Increasingly patients are seizing greater opportunities to have access to their health information (including genomic/genetic data and clinical data from electronic medical records, including images) to contribute this data directly to research initiatives that they trust and that are addressing questions of importance to them (either because they could benefit individually or the research is focused on questions the patient believes are important). This panel will showcase existing initiatives that are putting patients (and patient groups) more in the driver's seat with respect to precision medicine.
