The Alberta Studies
Terry Garvin Oral History Interview
Elders Oral Histories
In 1951, a young man from Craik, Saskatchewan, named Terry Garvin began his journey into the woods - specifically the Boreal Forest of Canada's northwest. At the time, he was a constable for the Royal Canadian Mounted Police assigned to serve various communities in northern Alberta, northern Saskatchewan, northern British Columbia, and the southern Northwest Territories. Over the next 13, his work brought him in close contact with some of the First Nations and Métis communities of the North, and his fascination with the culture of the people of the Boreal Forest was born.
Garvin would go on to work in a number of different fields in the North: community development, socio-economic assessment and management, and developing the new discipline of Traditional Use Studies or Land Use Mapping. With a number of colleagues (Gordon Armitage, Cecilia Boucher, Bertha Ganter, Gordon Hodgson, Fred MacDonald, Shirley Nelson and Mike Robinson of the Arctic Institute of North America), he undertook the important Fort McKay First Nation Traditional Land Use and Occupancy Study There is Still Survival Out There.The Study, completed in 1994, became a model for this kind of work mapping 38,000 square kilometers including the peoples' trails and cabins, spiritual (grave) and historical sites, fur bearers, big game, fish, birds, berries, trees and plants, place names, and traplines.
Garvin went on to work on other TUS including the Aseniwuche Winewak Nation. In his work he drew on his extensive knowledge of the North and also used photography and oral history to enhance the studies. Garvin wrote Bushland Peoples (University of Calgary Press, 199?) and Carving Faces, Carving Lives, People of the Boreal Forest (Heritage Community Foundation, 2006). He also was actively involved in the creation of the People of the Boreal Forest Website and Edukit, developed by the Heritage Community Foundation for the Alberta Online Encyclopedia - www.albertasource.ca.
The following excerpts are from an oral history interview with Garvin undertake in 2008 by Dr. Adriana Davies, Executive Director and Editor-in-Chief of the Heritage Community Foundation. David Bates is the videographer and video editor.

Kathmandu was no easy trek for speech pathologist
18 Feb, 2021, 4:26 pm 18 Feb, 2021, 4:26 pm Jenny Harrison
TUTH speech pathologist Prabha Dawadee, volunteer Athena Chan and TUTH speech pathologist Anil Adhikary.
Senior speech pathologist Athena Chan has returned to western Sydney after spending a year establishing a clinic in the Nepalese capital of Kathmandu.
Part of the Australian Volunteers Program, this opportunity of a lifetime enabled Athena to work as a speech pathologist at Tribhuvan University Teaching Hospital (TUTH).
"Volunteering in Nepal helped me step outside my comfort zone, think outside the box, build resilience and broadened my perspective on different cultures," Athena said.
"Adapting to life in Kathmandu was not easy. I didn't speak the language and it was difficult adjusting to their healthcare system which had poor internal and external communications, shortage of healthcare professionals and limited resources.
Athena's day hike in Nepal with the Himalayan mountains in the background.
"The skills I gained will help me in my WSLHD speech pathology role especially when I'm working with children and families from diverse cultural and socioeconomic backgrounds."
Nepali people travel more than 14 hours to receive care at TUTH, one of Nepal's major tertiary hospitals.
Athena joined a team of local medical and allied health professionals to establish a dysphagia service for people who have difficulty swallowing.
They also raised the awareness of speech pathology in the community, built capacity for more local speech pathologists to work at the hospital and improved the quality of health services.
"My role as a senior clinical speech pathologist is to provide leadership, team coordination and governance of our service to improve the health and developmental outcomes for children in our communities," she said.
"Being able to share my skills and knowledge and make a positive impact on the lives of others and advocate for speech pathology internationally was a great privilege."
TUTH speech pathologist Prabha Dawadee and volunteer Athena Chan prepare for a presentation.
Athena and the speech pathology team from TUTH also introduced the International Dysphagia Diet Standardisation Initiative to Nepal. This initiative enables healthcare professionals to use correct, common terminology to describe food textures and drink thickness for people with swallowing difficulties.
"We were able to educate healthcare professionals, carers, families and patients with dysphagia on safe and appropriate food and fluid consistencies," Athena said.
"I will always cherish the extraordinary experiences I had and I'm humbled by the warm generosity of everyone I met in Nepal."

Athena travelled with her partner Kashi Samaraweera a senior technical lead for the Australian Broadcasting Corporation. He worked on a separate volunteer assignment with local government.

Paul Jones was murdered May 5, 1983.
SHAWNEE, Okla. - An elderly mother's hope to see justice for her son's murder brought her back to the United States one last time. Marge Jones hopes that someone will come forward before it's too late so she can have closure and put a killer behind bars.
Her son Paul Jones, 20, was found stabbed to death in his rural Earlsboro home May 5, 1983. Paul's wife, Melody (Garton) Jones, 19 at the time, has never been found.
Suspicious circumstances before the murder include two life insurance policies on Paul Jones less than a month before his murder and numerous sightings of Melody.
Marge Jones returned to Shawnee from England to visit her son's grave and met with Pottawatomie County Sheriff, Mike Booth, and Undersheriff, Travis Palmer, Monday.
The afternoon of May 4, 1983 the Gartons told investigators that Melody Jones had been fishing with her family. Her brother Randy Garton gave her a ride home that evening, according to early news reports. During an interview with News 9 in 2008 he said the lights were on, a man was standing in the doorway who he assumed was Paul.
When Melody hadn't shown up for work at the Seminole Dairy Queen the next morning Melody's mother, Carol Garton who is now deceased, drove to the house to check on them. According to an article published May 16, 1983 in the Oklahoman Garton said the door was ajar, so she went inside. She saw a gun on the bed and Paul's legs on the floor. Her daughter was not home.
Investigators found all of Melody's personal belongings were there, including her purse which was dumped in the floor and her eyeglasses. The couple's car was parked in the driveway. There was a .12 gauge shotgun on the bed. A subsequent search of the home and surrounding area yielded no clues.
By the time Mrs. Jones arrived, Sheriff Paul Abel and deputies were on the scene. The residence had been taped off. When she was later allowed inside, she left convinced her son wasn't murdered in the house.
There was no indication of a domestic struggle, and no signs of robbery. The ME report showed defensive wounds to Paul's hands. "He fought for his life," said Mrs. Jones quietly.
There was no sign of forced entry. The Jones family can only wonder how the killer entered the home, regardless of where Paul was murdered.
No weapon was recovered. When the Jones family went through furnishings and other household belongings in June of 1983 they said they discovered a pair of scissors in a drawer and immediately turned them over to OSBI for processing. The family believed the scissors matched the wound site.
According to an OSBI document, an OSBI agent transported the scissors to the medical examiner's office to compare it to skin samples taken from Paul's body.
While Mrs. Jones said her son was a no-bar hopping, no-smoking, straight-laced English boy, the couple reportedly may have been using marijuana.
The medical examiner report showed no alcohol in Paul's body but the report does not indicate if he was tested for drugs. News reports do not show that investigators have ever reported Paul's death and Melody's disappearance as possible drug related crimes.
Paul had a life insurance policy, a fact which raised suspicions for his mother.
Mrs. Jones showed Red Dirt Report a life insurance policy that went into effect less than a month before the murder. It is dated April 22 and Paul was murdered May 4. Paul Jones signed the policy. Melody's name and signature are not on the document so it's not known if anyone other than Paul had knowledge of the policy.
The policy document reads that the beneficiary would be the surviving spouse. If not the spouse and no other beneficiary is named, it would be absorbed into the estate. Per the documents provided to Red Dirt Report, Paul did not name a beneficiary.
It is not known if anyone ever collected on the policy. As of April 24, 1985, two years after it went into effect, it appears no claim had been paid, according to the document.
That policy did not appear in probate records. Court records show that there may have been more than one. Judge Glenn Dale Carter granted Jack Jones' petition, Paul's father (deceased), to act as administrator of his son's estate. He submitted a receipt dated February 11, 1987 to the court which was noted as "Insurance of American General Life, $960.78," a different policy than the one Mrs. Jones showed Red Dirt Report.
Mrs. Jones was not aware of the American General Life policy until her return this week, but speculated it may have been taken out with Paul's employer. It remains a mystery why Paul would have had one policy, let alone two.
Probate records indicate there was some financial trouble for the couple who were trying to get their start in life. An overdrawn checking account was closed in February, another account opened at a different bank. A credit card statement dated 5/9/83 showed the account was overdrawn with a prior cash advance of over $400.
In the weeks and months following Paul's murder, Undersheriff Palmer confirmed there had been reported sightings. Mrs. Jones isn't surprised since she claimed to have seen Melody herself driving on the same road where the couple lived.
"I saw her," said Mrs. Jones who said she passed Melody. "It was her. A neighbor also told me they saw her on the property and there was a bus with Mexico plates on it," said Mrs. Jones.
A sighting was reported in Port Lavaca, Texas, where Mrs. Jones claims the family had a cabin. "A woman said she gave her a ride to Cutle, Texas," she said.
There was also a reported sighting in Oklahoma City.
Undersheriff Palmer said the sightings were not always consistent with Melody's description. He said OSBI was never able to verify the sightings because they never found the women whom witnesses claimed they saw.
In the days that followed, Mrs. Jones said she asked a nearby neighbor if they heard or saw anything. "They said they heard yelling and screaming and doors slamming. Car doors slamming and screeching to a halt," she said.
To her dismay, the neighbors told her they didn't want to get involved and were scared to talk to authorities.
After the murder, Mrs. Jones began to wonder at some strange things she claims her daughter-in-law told her while they worked together as maids for a Shawnee hotel. "Melody was always watching soap operas and had to have them on in every room. She says to me, 'I could get away with murder.' I told her, 'What, you're taking these shows too serious.' She told me she could get a new social security card and driver's license for $50 on the street," said Mrs. Jones.
In a 2008 interview OSBI spokeswoman, Jessica Brown, told News 9 there was no reason to believe that Melody had anything to do with her husband's murder.
Investigators have ruled out three bodies: in Kentucky, Texas, and Wewoka, Oklahoma.
The Gartons have cooperated with the investigation, providing DNA samples in effort to assist police in finding Melody.
Mrs. Jones said Sheriff Booth and Undersheriff Palmer were helpful in answering her questions and hopes the investigation can make progress.
Anyone with information can contact Undersheriff Travis Palmer at 405-275-2526, ext. 111.

TESS watches a comet (and variable stars and Mars and a bunch of asteroids) go by
August 6, 2018, 5:34 PM ET
By Phil Plait
NASA's TESS orbiting exoplanet-hunting spacecraft caught the comet C/2018 N1 (NEOWISE) on July 25, 2018. Credit: Massachusetts Institute of Technology/NASA's Goddard Space Flight Center

NASA's Transiting Exoplanet Survey Satellite — TESS — has begun scientific operations. That means it is now sweeping the sky, looking at millions and millions of stars, searching for telltale dips in light that indicate planets are orbiting those stars.
You can read up on how it will do that in an earlier article I wrote, and even get a taste for what it will see in an article about First Light, when it first opened its metaphorical eye to the heavens.
On July 25, before science observations had begun and TESS was still taking images for calibration and testing, it took a series of observations over the course of 17 hours that prove to be pretty dang cool. TESS points in the direction more-or-less opposite the Sun in the sky, and on that date it just so happened that a faint comet, C/2018 N1 (NEOWISE) was passing through that region. Well, faint to those of us on Earth, but TESS has pretty sensitive cameras on board, and so the comet looks rather bright.
NASA made a video of the observations. Watch!
There is so much cool stuff going on there! Let me give you some particulars.
When these images were taken the comet was about 47 million kilometers from Earth. It orbits the Sun on a highly elliptical path, taking it just inside the orbit of Mars to about 200 billion km from the Sun — 40 times farther away than Neptune! That's based on early observations, so the uncertainty in the size of its orbit as large. Take those numbers with a Ceres-sized grain of salt.
It's about as close to the Sun as it gets right now, so it's moving at quite a clip. You can see its motion obviously in the video. It has a noticeable tail, which is gas and dust blown away from the comet's solid nucleus by the solar wind. This tail points away from the Sun — some people think the tail trails behind the comet in its orbit but there's no friction in space to let it blow behind. Instead the high-speed solar wind slams into the particles and sends them moving more-or-less directly away from the Sun.
Remember we're looking opposite the Sun in the sky here toward the comet. The tail is pointing in the same direction all the time, but as the comets moves perpendicular to the direction we're looking we see a slightly different perspective on the tail, so the angle appears to change as it moves. Pretty nifty.
The orbit of the comet C/2018 N1 (NEOWISE) is highly elliptical, bringing it about as close to the Sun as Mars. At the time of the TESS observations it was passing Mars in its orbit. Credit: NASA/JPL-Caltech

But there's more! As it happens, Mars is in roughly the same direction as the comet as seen from Earth (though it's about 11 million kilometers farther away). It's not in the field of view, but it's so bright that we see stray light from it, light that gets bounced around from the side into the cameras' apertures. The video points out the faint Martian fan of light, too.
You can see stars in the video, too, but they look funny. Some appear to be both bright and dark, while others go from bright to dark! What's that all about?
This is due to the way the images were processed to make the video. I'm pretty sure what happened is that someone took all the frames making up the video, aligned them as best they could (so that, say, a given star in every image fell on the same pixel), and then took a median frame and subtracted it from each individual frame.
Taking a median is the mathematical process where you take a series of numbers and find the value where half the values are above that number and half below. So, say, in the series [1, 1, 3, 3, 4, 5, 6, 7, 8], the median is 4 ([1, 1, 3, 3] are less than that value and [5, 6, 7, 8] are greater). Note that this is different than the average, which for this series would be 4.2.
A median frame is where you do this for a series of images, and get the median value for every pixel in those images. The result is an image where every pixel is assigned the median value for that pixel. The advantage of this is that if you have the comet moving, it's in a given spot for one frame, then a different spot the next. In a median frame, all the highest value pixels (where things are brightest) are thrown out, and for a given pixel that'll be the ones where the comet is. When you create the median frame, it's as if you erased the comet!
If a star has a constant brightness, the median frame will just have that value for the pixel containing the star. So it doesn't appear to change (unless you don't have the star perfectly aligned, in which case sometimes when you subtract the median frame from an individual one you get too big or too small a value, which is why some stars look both dark and bright).
If a star is a variable star, changing its brightness, then after you subtract the median frame, the star will have a positive value (so looks white) when it's bright, and a negative one when it's fainter (and look dark). You can spot several such stars in the video.
Finally, there are also quite a few asteroids moving in the images. TESS was looking pretty much right into the plane of our flat solar system, and so it is looking right through the main asteroid belt. That's why there are so many! They're highlighted at the end of the video. It might help to run it at half speed to see them better.
Mind you, all this was seen in 17 hours of data taking. TESS will be operational for a base mission of two years, looking over the entire sky for exoplanets orbiting nearby stars.
Two years. What will we find in this data? Oh, I can't wait to find out.

Due diligence is an essential step in any cannabis agreement — a brand new industry and a rapidly expanding market mean that opportunities abound. That being said, it's essential to conduct thorough due diligence of any potential business partner, and if anything, international deals should be subject to even further review since you will often be dealing with legal regimes that differ from your own. As a start, make sure you have visited the facility, met with the business owners in person, thoroughly reviewed all company documents produced, and communicated with local regulatory agencies.

Nazaha: investigations in Abha on a case of overestimation of 211 Million riyals
صورة الخبر
محتوى الخبر
the National Anti-Corruption Commission (Nazaha) revealed a number of administrative and financial irregularities and abuse of public funds in the estimation of expropriation of a land worth (211,000,000) Riyal to construct a road in the city of Abha. Nazaha referred this case to the Bureau of Investigation and Prosecution for further investigation and report back to the Commission.
The spokesman of Nazaha Abdulrahman Al-Ajlan said that the commission received a report of an overestimation of the price of compensation for a part of an agricultural land for a project of constructing a road in Abha. The commission found out after a site visit that there were a number of irregularities which lead to an overestimation in the price of the compensation.
Al-Ajlan explained that Nazaha noticed there were discrepancies in the lengths of the land in the instrument which belongs to the citizen since 15/7/1431 H and on the original document which dates back to 1397 H. The legal instrument of the land was issued after the start of the second phase of the project where the site was submitted to the contractor in 10/7/1430 H pointing out that the Road and Transportation Department in Asir region did not have any objection to the amendment of lengths and spaces instead continued the process of making the inventory and compensation.
Al-Ajlan added that Nazaha noticed an overestimation from the second committee of estimations which was constructed by a number of government entities in estimating the value of this land at 3000 riyals per square meter, which is an increase of about (46) times the original purchase price in 15/7/1431 at (65) riyals per square meter.
Al-Ajlan pointed out that what happened was an exaggeration in the estimation of prices, it does not exonerate them from this responsibility and it does not maintain public funds which is considered as a violation of an of the royal decree which states that estimations should be fair and according to standard pricing and that committees should be responsible and maintain public funds.
He added that Nazaha based on its regulation which states to refer any corruption irregularities to control entities and that the commission has the right to follow up on these cases and report back to it by control entities of the results of investigations. The commission sent to Emirate of Asir and concerned entities of a copy of the letter addressed to the Bureau of Investigation and Prosecution , which included taking precautionary measures and to take required measures for disciplining the employees.
In conclusion the spokesman said that Nazaha is stressing on the principle of transparency, protecting integrity and fighting corruption in all its forms, in accordance with its national strategy for protecting integrity and fighting corruption, and its regulation. He also stressed on the importance of the cooperation with the commission by all citizens and residents in reporting any case of financial or administrative corruption on the means it provided for reporting. The commission would like also to thank all government entities that cooperate with it in its endeavor.

Rivalry in Court, in Academics, in Girls are now set onstage
Posted by JudeisHere ⋅ 23/02/2012 ⋅ 5 Comments
"The pressure people put on themselves and the rivalry between the teams is much more marked. And I think that's a good thing. As long as that rivalry remains within the spirit of competition, it can only spur everyone on." – Eric Cantona
Thirty years ago, when Noel Trinidad approached Ed Gatchalian the do a musical based on the basketball teams Crispa and Toyota, but it didn't pan out. Today, the two are reunited with a project that is promising and something that sets the records of what the real score is all about the rivalry of the two schools—Ateneo and La Salle. Together, they are involved in the latest musical that is presented by the 4th Wall Theater Company.
The Birth of 'Rivalry: Ateneo-La Salle The Musical'
The idea germinated in Ed Gatchalian's mind, the show's executive producer, musical director-composer-arranger-and-orchestrator. He also co-writes the book and the libretto with Jaime del Mundo, a seasoned director.
The 'Rivalry' lead cast bowing after the show held on February 9 at Meralco Theater.
Being an Atenean since grade school and high school and stayed for two years in college, Gatchalian, sought help from his friends (Juan Miguel Llamas, Tony Cervantes and Jimmy Morelos) from the rival school in order to present an unbiased, true and accurate depiction of the said rivalry between Ateneo and La Salle.
Issues taken were in these order: girls basketball, girls again, basketball again, social issues, girls once more, academics, basketball, more girls, and finally—basketball championship.
Felix Rivera is Quito Valencia, the La Sallite in real-life but he plays an Atenean in this musical play. He is smitten with Reena secretly that his cousin outsmarted him and beaten him in getting the 'yes' of Reena first.
Athena Tibi as Reena San Jose, the object of affection of the two male leads from Ateneo and La Salle.
Mako Alonso portrays Tommy Bonifacio, the La Salle basketball star player, but he's an Atenean in college. He is a charmer in the court that even Reena San Jose was guarded and has fallen into his suave moves.
The Story's Love Triangle Angle
Whatever literary piece is available for its intended audience to partake, the angle on love is still a best-selling one.
Putting together Athena Tibi as Reena San Jose, the object of affection of the two boys played by Mako Alonso as Tommy Basilio (La Salle's star player) and Felix Rivera as Quito Valencia (the Atenean cousin of Tommy) did provide the 'kilig' factor.
Even if at the end of the musical, it was kind of hanging if who did Reena eventually chose between Tommy and Quito.
Both actors have given justice to the roles and so as Athena who has such a beautiful voice to begin with.
Gatchalian was successful enough to incorporate the love triangle. It further strengthened the rivalry between the two boys representing the two schools. Perhaps this was the only part that created more tension as opposed to the basketball tension at the game scenes.
An All-Original Filipino Production's Future
In one of the press conferences that I have attended, a question surfaced.
"Why is it that there most theater companies have resorted to bringing foreign productions rather than staging all-original Filipino productions?"
The answer was simple. Any production is still a business. Theater productions that are based from Broadway are most likely to sell as opposed to our very own. That was one valid and straight to the answer. Also, most of our all-original Filipino productions may either be based on old subjects or themes that most intended market—the students may find already boring.
With 'Rivalry: Ateneo-La Salle The Musical'—it is a big risk, but there is no doubt that one day, it will be making waves not just here, but also in abroad. The two productions of Philippine Stagers Foundation: Ako si Ninoy and Cory ng EDSA are classic examples that have caught the attention of audiences not just here, but off-shores as well.
I also have to give credit to Noel Trinidad's special participation in this production. In his number, he stood out and stole the limelight and have the attention to himself as Eliseo Genaro.
The musical runs from Thursdays to Sundays until March 11. Thursday – Sunday shows at 8 p.m.; Matinees on Saturdays and Sundays at 3 p.m.
For tickets, call TICKETWORLD at (632) 891-9999. Visit its facebook page on RIVALRY: Ateneo-Ls Salle The Musical.

b. Systematic retrospective coverage of all non-current publications.
National discography provides for the documentation of the production and publication of phonograms (3) in a defined national or cultural area.
a. it enables the selection of new acquisitions by collecting institutions, and supports compliance and registration procedures for legal deposit.
b. it provides an indication of the funding requirement for preservation programmes.
c. it sustains academic research by enabling access in libraries and archives, and by disseminating information about their holdings.
d. it publicises the activities of national phonogram industries, and stimulates the publication of re-issues.
e. it supports the marketing of local music and the administration of copyright.
Newly published product should be included as near to the date of publication as possible. Priority should be given to currently published output, but the overall aim should be to complete retrospective coverage where it is incomplete.
Policy in this area deals with the information to be recorded, not with the presentation or arrangement of data. The inclusion of data relating to composers/authors and works, performers, label, catalogue number, and date and place of recording, and the physical characteristics should be regarded as mandatory (5). International standards should be followed by the use of the IASA Cataloguing Rules (6), which are a development of AACR2 (7) to meet the requirements of sound recordings.
As a paper or CD-Rom product, national discography should be on sale to the public and freely available in libraries in a standardised format, e.g. UNIMARC (8). As an on-line database it should be searchable via the internet without payment. Whatever the format, it should be possible to search for information on specific known items, or for any items that conform to specified search criteria.
In the absence of legal deposit provision, compilation may be undertaken by an institution comprehensively receiving material by voluntary deposit or by purchase, such as a national archive, library, or broadcaster.
The body responsible for compilation may also undertake publication, or it may make an arrangement with another agency for publication and dissemination. In any case the publisher should be entitled to make a charge for the downloading and use of the data in third-party databases.
1. A bibliography which lists all the books and other publications published, or distributed in significant quantity, in a particular country. Sometimes the term is used in respect to the new publications published within a specific period, and sometimes in respect to all those published within a lengthy period of many years. It is also used to indicate a bibliography of publications about a country (whether written by its nationals or not) and those written in the language of the country as well as those published in it. - Prytherch, Ray. Harrod's librarians' glossary. 8th ed. Aldershot, 1995.
2. A catalogue or similar listing of sound recordings in any format (cylinder, roll, disk [sic.], tape, CD etc.) giving full details of the item recorded (title, composer/author, performers, date etc.) and manufacturer's product number. - Prytherch, Ray. Harrod's librarians' glossary. 8th ed. Aldershot, 1995.
3. A physical carrier (typically a disc, or tape cassette) containing one or more sound recording(s) and offered for sale, or otherwise distributed.
4. The documentation of radio and other audiovisual materials will be the subject of a future IASA policy statement.

Thank you for making such an investment into the new format. It tells me that you respect us viewers and that you want to do your best for us.

Debbie, thanks for the fix!
Since Senator Dodd is 65, this means, he should be required to under go 'end of life' counseling to determine if he is worthy to continue to not only live , but take much needed resources from those who are younger and more worthy to receive this surgery. Government counselors trained to discuss with Dodd how to end his life sooner and not be a burden on the system , how to decline nutrition and hydration and how to go to hospice. Also his bank accounts should be released to the goverment for transfer of funds to pay for this surgery. This eugenics part of the bill starts at page 425.
They, congress, the democrats and Adolf Obama claim our Health Care system is broken, if that is so why do people from all over the world, still come the United States for treatment, of any kind.
Michale J. fox has been whinning about 'stem cell' research to cure his disease, under this bill there will be NO research to find cures for these very debilitating diseases, the money won't be available.
Of course none of this will happen, Chris Dudd is an elitist and not required to partake in such commoner type of medicine. That's only for the little people. The Elites do not have rationed care, they have 17 plans to choose from.
As Richard Lamm former Governor of Colorado, the old hav a duty to die. To hell with how you worked all your life to look forward to retirement, you now owe the government your debt and that debt is paid by croaking. One less oldster to worry about.
Under Adolf Obama and this democrat Congress we have moved 10 times closer to Nazi Germany. The Neo-malthusian-Sanger type eugenics all we need now is a target to blame all our country's problems on.
Now for the question that Prime Minister Netanyahu did not want to answer on Glenn Beck. How can Liberal Jews go along with this. Rham Emanuel and his brother Ezekiel, the doctor. The Doctor sounds more like a Dr. Mengele than a Doctor schooled in the United States where they swear an Oath and its prime tenet is to do no harm.


The CFIT training program identifies CFIT issues and philosophies, describes CFIT hazards, identifies techniques to enhance situational awareness and avoidance techniques.
There is no exam at end of course, participant interaction is critical in gaining the skills shared by the facilitator. This ensures optimum learning, awareness and achieving knowledge and application of CRM/TEM skills.

By Barbara J. King • Feb 1, 2018
When we read books, why do we forget so much of what we read, in only weeks or even days after we read it?
Coming across an article on this topic by Julie Beck in The Atlantic over the weekend, I found insight and even some consolation. I'm not the only one who forgets the plots of novels I've truly loved.
No Eggnog, But Rescued Animals Enjoy Holiday Celebrations, Too
By Barbara J. King • Dec 19, 2017
In my house, we celebrate Christmas.
In preparation, we selected a beautiful, aromatic Fraser fir tree for our den. This means that our five indoor rescued cats get to enjoy their annual holiday enrichment activity — climbing partway up through the branches, batting down ornaments, and attempting to shred the wrapping and ribbon from presents under the tree.
Some chaos definitely ensues, but it's fun to see the cats so excited — and we've never yet had an outright tree crash like this one.
Um, Uh, Huh? Are These Words Clues To Understanding Human Language?
By Barbara J. King • Nov 13, 2017
Has anyone — a parent, teacher, or boss — told you to purge the words "um" and "uh" from your conversation?
When these words creep into our narrative as we tell a story at home, school, or work, it's natural to feel that we can do better with our speech fluency.
Monks For A Month: College Kids Give Up Talking — And Technology
Imagine a college course that requires students to give up computer and cell-phone technology for a month — and, in fact, to cease speaking entirely for that period.
Then imagine that the class is super-popular, with students clamoring to get in.
Ants, Seaweed, Chocolate Beer And (Maybe) Less Meat: The Future Of Food

When Animals Attack, Some Respond With Compassion
By Barbara J. King • Nov 3, 2016
Last month, Australian surfer Jade Fitzpatrick sustained three bite wounds to his thigh from a great white shark as he waited for a wave on his surfboard off the north coast of New South Wales.
As the Guardian newspaper reported, he was helped out of the water by a friend, received medical treatment and planned to surf again in the same waters within 10 days.
Please, Let's Not Find Dory
It's an all-too-familiar practice.
Families go to see movies that feature fun, friendly animals on the big screen. Then they rush out to buy one of the very same type of animal, to keep as a pet. Before long, the cute new member of the family becomes too much trouble, or isn't cared for properly; the animal dies, is abandoned, or is surrendered to overwhelmed rescue groups.
As National Park Service Turns 100, We Can Celebrate By Not Bothering Wildlife

The National Park Service turns 100 this summer, and I've been thinking about how all of us might celebrate this milestone.
Should We Really Be Keeping Cats And Dogs — And Geckos — As Pets?
By Barbara J. King • May 5, 2016
Bioethicist Jessica Pierce includes pets — or "animal companions" — among her family members: a cat, two dogs and fish.
So, it's startling to read this passage near the beginning of her new book released this week, Run, Spot, Run: The Ethics of Keeping Pets:
What You Need To Know About That 'Cute' Lemur Video
By Barbara J. King • Apr 27, 2016
I love viral animal videos as much as anyone. Sometimes I share them here, because the good ones can be a way to raise awareness about animal welfare, tune in to animals' intelligence or just enjoy a laugh.
'Life Of Pi' Author Delves Into Chimpanzee Fiction
Fans of author Yann Martel's immensely popular Life of Pi, or of the film adapted from the novel 11 years later, will understand my eager anticipation of his new novel, The High Mountains of Portugal, released last week.

Carl Safina Talks Of Wild Wolves And Bottle-Fed Squirrels
By Barbara J. King • Sep 17, 2015
In the arena of ocean ecology and conservation, Carl Safina is a superstar. Through television documentaries, his writings and the Safina Center, he's been a vital force for years in educating the public about ocean pollution, overfishing and conservation.
A Love-Hate Relationship With Drones
By Barbara J. King • Sep 8, 2015
In The New York Times travel section Sunday, Stephanie Rosenbloom described a hot day this summer when she sat in the Roman amphitheater in Arles, France.
As she imagined scenes Van Gogh may have observed there during the 19th century, she says, a soft whirring sound broke into her reverie. Rosenbloom writes:
Pop Quiz: How Science-Literate Are We, Really?
An 11-question quiz that tests science literacy — some would say very basic science literacy — is on my mind this week.
Putting Spiders On Treadmills In Virtual-Reality Worlds
By Barbara J. King • Jul 23, 2015
The methodology described in a recent study, a peer-reviewed paper on animal behavior — in which biologists Tina Peckmezian and Phillip W. Taylor of Macquarie University in Sydney, Australia, worked with 56 female jumping spiders — is fascinating.
Here's what the biologists did:
Does Being Vegan Really Help Animals?
By Barbara J. King • Mar 12, 2015
More people are moving toward a plant-based diet, owing in part to evidence about human health and environmental sustainability, and in part to the emerging scientific consensus on the breadth and depth of animal consciousness and sentience.
Fossil Provides Evidence Of Early Human Migration To Europe
Some 55,000 years ago, a person — whether female or male, we don't know — lived in Manot Cave in the western Galilee area of what is now Israel. Judging from the partial skull recovered from the cave, and described in Nature last week by Israel Hershkovitz of Tel Aviv University and his co-authors, the person was anatomically modern and closely related to the first modern humans who went on to colonize Europe.
Mind Your Moods, Cat Owners
By Barbara J. King • Jan 22, 2015
Babies "social reference" by checking out their parents' facial expressions and voice tones when they encounter a new or strange object or event in their environment — then base their own reactions on mom's or dad's. They look to their parents as they wonder: Is it OK to stay calm, or is it time to worry?
Why Are We So Scared Of Ebola?
By Barbara J. King • Aug 7, 2014
The question of why the Ebola virus seems to so badly frighten so many people seems, at first, to have an obvious answer.
Ebola, after all, is an incurable hemorrhagic virus with a mortality rate that soars in some outbreaks to 90 percent of those infected. Symptoms in sufferers with advanced disease go beyond high fever and gastrointestinal misery to bleeding from the mouth, nose, ears and eyes.
Seeking A Saner Food System, Three Times A Day

In 1997, Mother was found to have rectal cancer. She went to the provincial hospital for her regular check-up because of serious diarrhea and apparent loss of appetite.
The doctor said that the cancer had worsened and that an operation appeared imminent. He also told us that Mother will not survive for more than six months, of course, we did not tell Mother about this.
Some time after Mother was admitted to the hospital, a friend brought to our attention the possibility of using Tian Xian liquid. Since the sister of the doctor in-charge also knew about this product. We thought that Tian Xian was among the medicine being recommended by the hospital and Mother started to take it.
Relatives and friends introduced many other kinds of medication and we considered Tian Xian liquid as just another ordinary medicine. Unexpectedly, this medicine manifested special effects. When Mother's strength recovered slightly, she was allowed to leave the hospital. Soon, she was on the mend and returned to her normal life.
When flu spread at the beginning of this year, Mother was infected by it. The cancer cells then were discovered to have metastasized to many other parts of her body including the peritoneum, which led to intestinal obstruction. Mother, again, was unable to ingest any food.
Everyday as soon as I open my eyes, I pray to God to create a miracle for Mother's sake. Western medicine could no longer help so we simply urge Mother to take Tian Xian liquid that her life may be prolonged. Unfortunately, she finally left us a month ago. Tian Xian liquid was the only medicine Mother took after leaving the hospital for the last time and we all believe that it helped prolong her life till now.
Half-year that the doctor predicted for her was stretched to two years. During this precious extension, my sister and I accompanied Mother day and night to enrich the remaining moments of her life. We are thankful to Tian Xian liquid and I think, Mother, who is now in heaven, shares the same opinion.


Based on the references by some of my favorite blog podcasters, and since I know very little about the technical side of blogging, I chose a paid Blue Host package for this blog. Read more about my first day of starting this blog.
It included hosting, a domain and email addresses for the domain. I upgraded for privacy. Unfortunately, within a few days it was obvious to me that the privacy upgrade was not implemented or working and I had to work with BlueHost support to get that functioning. Which, by the way, their support was a positive e-chat experience and within an hour it was resolved. More on this below.
There are a variety of plugins, some easier to use than others, to customize the functioning of the site. I am still learning about plugins and plan on getting into those further down the road.
The only other options for hosting/themes I seriously considered were Google Domain with Square Space. However, since so many of the tools, plugins and tutorials that I learned about from fellow bloggers were centered on Blue Host with WordPress, that is the route I went.
That's not to say I will never consider those options in the future, they both had advantages too.
Nope. My biggest problem was being inundated with multiple phone calls, text messages and emails about design, SEO and other blog/website services from a variety of different companies during the first few days of my hosting purchase. Read more about this experience in this post.
My biggest tip to other newby bloggers for hosting/site setup: really study the sign up options around privacy and if you purchase the privacy add-on, make sure it is implemented correctly because mine was not. Some people may appreciate a variety of businesses coming forward to offering solutions, however, that is not my preference. I'm more of a private person and felt inundated by the number of solicitations during those first few days. Of course, this is a personal choice hence my advice is to select what makes sense for you.
With WordPress, there are so many templates to choose from. Since this is all new to me, I decided to start with a free template. If you're not mindful, you could easily lose track of time searching for the so-called perfect template.
As a limitation, I gave myself 15 minutes, because there was a lengthy to-do list waiting for me and I wanted to get out of the gates as fast as possible.
I choose a standard free template that said it was mobile friendly. Two reasons why I went the free route – ease and sounds easy to change in the future if so desired.
I've heard positive reviews about certain purchased (premium) templates on other blogs, in particular for their ease of use on mobile devices and for optimizing for search.
Perhaps down the road, I will change templates. It seems that is a fairly easy process, so I'm putting that on the "revisit at a later date" list.
There is a learning curve, and I still have little confidence I am doing this whole host/theme thing quite right. But…within days of getting on board, I do have a working (mostly) website. I've spent hours trying to figure out why when someone comments, it does show, but gives them a wonky error message.
Overall, I was hesitant to start this blog because it seemed very difficult or required a lot of learning.
Look around Pinterest for Bloggers who Blog about Blogging (that's a tongue twister).
I'm trying to share the warts and all of getting this blog up and going. As a perfectionist pursuing reform, I'm trying to focus on accomplishing tasks to go forward instead instead of being paralyzed by the fear of something being imperfect. That means there are typos, mistakes, weird technical glitches, all over the place.
Start blogging and worry about spiffing it up down the road.
If you can relate to the struggles of being a perfectionist, I've found the book "The Gifts of Imperfection" to be a great read and a real eye opener.

The Weird Sisters (Large Print / Paperback)
By Eleanor Brown
Email or call for price.
Fall '12 Reading Group List
"The sisters in this funny and touching book are not 'weird' in the modern sense of the word; the title refers to the three witches in Shakespeare's Macbeth. Headed by a father who was a professor of Shakespeare and his loving wife, the Andreas family was certainly unusual, and the three daughters grew up speaking in couplets, quoting Hamlet, and reading constantly. When their mother develops breast cancer, all three sisters return to their Midwestern home to aid in her care -- and end up caring for each other as well. This is a wonderful tribute to literature, the bonds of sisterhood, and the importance of family."
