I have zero time for reflection. I must have had so much time to think, before. I do have down-time – about one hour in the middle of the day, and three hours at night – but I can't say I ever get any reflection-type-thinking done. I tried writing a letter to a friend the other day, and it was so hard! You have to be able to think in a certain way to write a letter, reflecting upon your own thoughts and then considering the other person's life too, and I couldn't do it very well. Writing here is the same.
I gotta make more space. Just a little. The equivalent of a "weekend" each week. Or just a Saturday. Something like that. Time to think.
I'm loving my life, though. Looking after two babes, nurturing them, enjoying our days, experiencing so much fun (for example: we're on holidays at the moment and my babes are an excuse for me to go down the waterslides over and over and over!). Happy Fox.

Dental Implants
Dental Implants Presentation
To provide you with a better understanding of dental implants, we have provided the following multimedia presentation. Many common questions pertaining to dental implants are discussed.
What Are Dental Implants?
A natural tooth consists of a root and a crown. If you compare natural teeth to implant-supported replacement teeth, you'll see they have the same basic parts. Both have a crown (the visible part used to chew food). Both have a root that holds the tooth securely under the gum and is anchored into the jaw. The difference is that the implant is made of titanium – the same time-tested material used by surgeons for artificial joints. When you lose a tooth, you lose both the root and the crown. To replace the tooth, the surgeon first replaces the root with a small dental implant.
Time is allowed for bone to heal and grow around the dental implant. The bone bonds with the titanium, creating a strong foundation for artificial teeth. A support post (abutment) is then placed on the implant and a new replacement tooth (crown) is placed on top of the abutment. In many cases a temporary replacement tooth can be attached to the implant immediately after it is placed. If all of your teeth are missing, a variety of treatment options are available to support the replacement teeth.

"Don't be afraid to Smile."
For years I'd felt like a part of my body was missing — because my teeth were. My dentist told me that dental implants would make me feel and look a lot better. OK, I said. Now, I'm thrilled. I can smile, eat anything, and enjoy a good laugh with my friends.
Surgical Advances
Using the most recent advances in dental implant technology, Dr. Turner is able to place single stage implants. These implants do not require a second procedure to uncover them, but do require a minimum of six weeks of healing time before artificial teeth are placed. There are even situations where the implant can be placed at the same time as the tooth extraction – further minimizing your number of surgical procedures.
Dental implant placement is a team effort between an oral and maxillofacial surgeon and a restorative dentist. Dr. Turner performs the actual implant surgery, initial tooth extractions, and bone grafting if necessary. The restorative dentist (your dentist) fits and makes the permanent prosthesis. Your dentist will also make any temporary prosthesis needed during the implant process.

Our Latest Patient Testimonial
I am terrified of the dentist. Unfortunately I had an injury that resulted in the loss of a tooth. I was in pain and desperate, I had to see a specialist. Luckily for me, a friend recommended Dr. Turner. Not only did he get me quickly, but with his calm bedside manner he guided me through the entire process....pulling a tooth, bone graft, implant and reconstruction. Dr. Turner's approach and attitude in treating the 'whole patient', not just my tooth, was exactly what I needed. I am so relieved to know that if and when I need this type of dental work I have a place to go where I don't have to feel scared and anxious.

Indigenous Contemporary Issues
Idle No More bewildered many Canadians. Launched by four women in Saskatchewan in reaction to a federal omnibus budget bill, the protest became the most powerful demonstration of Aboriginal identity in Canadian history. Thousands of aboriginal people and their supporters took to the streets, shopping malls, and other venues, drumming, dancing, and singing in a collective voice.
It was a protest against generations of injustice, a rallying cry for cultural survival, and a reassertion of Aboriginal identity.
Idle No More lasted for almost a year, and then the rallies dissipated. Many observers described it as a spent force. It was anything but. Idle No More was the most profound declaration of Indigenous identity and confidence in Canadian history, sparked by Aboriginal women and their supporters, sustained by young Indigenous peoples, filled with pride and determination. When the drums slowed, a new and different Canada was left in its wake. Partially stunned by the peaceful celebrations, but perplexed by a movement that seemed to have no centre and no leaders, most Canadians missed the point.
Through Idle No More, Aboriginal people have declared that they are a vital and necessary part of Canada's future. The spirit of the drumming, singing and dancing lives on in empowered and confident young Aboriginal people who will shape the future of this country for decades to come.
"It can start with a knock on the door one morning. It is the local Indian agent, or the parish priest, or, perhaps, a Mounted Police officer… The officials have arrived and the children must go."
So began the school experience of many Indigenous children in Canada for more than a hundred years, and so begins the history of residential schools prepared by the Truth and Reconciliation Commission of Canada (TRC).
Between 2008 and 2015, the TRC provided opportunities for individuals, families, and communities to share their experiences of residential schools and released several reports based on 7,000 Survivor statements and 5 million documents from government, churches, and schools, as well as a solid grounding in secondary sources.
A Knock on the Door, published in collaboration with the National Centre for Truth and Reconciliation (NCTR), gathers material from the TRC reports to present the essential history and legacy of residential schools and inform the journey to reconciliation that Canadians are now embarked upon. An afterword introduces the holdings and opportunities of the NCTR, home to the archive of recordings and documents collected by the TRC.
Survivor and former National Chief of the Assembly First Nations, Phil Fontaine, provides a Foreword, and an Afterword introduces the holdings and opportunities of the National Centre for Truth & Reconciliation, home to the archive of recordings, and documents collected by the TRC.
As Aimée Craft writes in the Afterword, knowing the historical backdrop of residential schooling and its legacy is essential to the work of reconciliation. In the past, agents of the Canadian state knocked on the doors of Indigenous families to take the children to school. Now, the Survivors have shared their truths and knocked back. It is time for Canadians to open the door to mutual understanding, respect, and reconciliation.
"The attempt to transform us failed. The true legacy of the survivors, then, will be the transformation of Canada." – Phil Fontaine, from the Foreword
"A Knock on the Door is a book that I hope every Canadian will read, and read deeply. The transformation of this country begins with acknowledging what happened after that knock on the door. Acknowledging, understanding the implications, and then resolving to do something for positive change. It's right that the TRC Calls to Action are included, for we are all called to action." – Shelagh Rogers, O.C., TRC Honorary Witness
"Seven volumes from a nationwide inquiry into the legacy of Canada's Indian Residential Schools have been condensed into a compelling book that is both accessible and well-documented. The central conclusion—that the schools were part of a deliberate cultural genocide policy aimed at the continent's first peoples, spearheaded by the Canadian government with the support of mainline churches —is clearly supported by historical references, gut-wrenching personal stories, and a thorough analysis of a system that forcibly removed indigenous children from their families." – Publishers Weekly

A novel of love and betrayal dealing with the biggest issues facing Canada's Indigenous peoples today.
In the summer of 1972, a float plane carrying a team of child welfare officials lands on a river flowing through the Yellow Dog Indian reserve. Their mission is to seize the twin babies of an Indigenous couple as part of an illegal scheme cooked up by the federal government to adopt out tens of thousands of Native children to white families. The baby girl, Brenda, is adopted and raised by a white family in Orillia.
Meanwhile, that same summer, a baby boy named Greg is born to a white middle-class family. At the age of eighteen, Greg leaves home for the first time to earn money to help pay for his university expenses. He drinks heavily and becomes embroiled in the murder of a female student from a residential school.
The destinies of Brenda and Greg intersect in this novel of passion, confronting the murder and disappearance of Indigenous women and the infamous Sixties Scoop.
"James Bartleman, a First Nation person himself, writes movingly … about the tragic reality of misogynistic racism and violence against Indigenous women and girls." — Sharon Stinson Henry, Chief of Chippewas of Rama First Nation
Forces us to confront uncomfortable truths as we seek a path to reconciliation. — Alan Bowker, author of A Time Such as There Never Was Before
Bartleman's strength as a writer is his compassion. He respects each of his characters and sets the stage for real-world discussions of Canada's past, present, and future. — Publishers Weekly

A bold and profound work by Haudenosaunee writer Alicia Elliott, A Mind Spread Out on the Ground is a personal and critical meditation on trauma, legacy, oppression and racism in North America.
In an urgent and visceral work that asks essential questions about the treatment of Native people in North America while drawing on intimate details of her own life and experience with intergenerational trauma, Alicia Elliott offers indispensable insight and understanding to the ongoing legacy of colonialism. What are the links between depression, colonialism and loss of language--both figurative and literal? How does white privilege operate in different contexts? How do we navigate the painful contours of mental illness in loved ones without turning them into their sickness? How does colonialism operate on the level of literary criticism?
A Mind Spread Out on the Ground is Alicia Elliott's attempt to answer these questions and more. In the process, she engages with such wide-ranging topics as race, parenthood, love, mental illness, poverty, sexual assault, gentrification, writing and representation. Elliott makes connections both large and small between the past and present, the personal and political--from overcoming a years-long history with head lice to the way Native writers are treated within the Canadian literary industry; her unplanned teenage pregnancy to the history of dark matter and how it relates to racism in the court system; her childhood diet of Kraft dinner to how systematic oppression is linked to depression in Native communities. With deep consideration and searing prose, Elliott extends far beyond her own experiences to provide a candid look at our past, an illuminating portrait of our present and a powerful tool for a better future.
"This book is hard, vital medicine. It is a dance of survival and cultural resurgence. Above all, it is breathtakingly contemporary Indigenous philosophy, in which the street is also part of the land, and the very act of thinking is conditioned by struggles for justice and well-being." —Warren Cariou, author of Lake of the Prairies
"These essays are of fiercest intelligence and courageous revelation. Here, colonialism and poverty are not only social urgencies, but violence felt and fought in the raw of the everyday, in embodied life and intimate relations. This is a stunning, vital triumph of writing." —David Chariandy, author of Brother
"Wildly brave and wholly original, Alicia Elliot is the voice that rouses us from the mundane, speaks political poetry and brings us to the ceremony of everyday survival. Her words remind us to carry both our weapons and our medicines, to hold both our strength and our open, weeping hearts. A Mind Spread Out on the Ground is what happens when you come in a good way to offer prayer, and instead, end up telling the entire damn truth of it all." —Cherie Dimaline, author of The Marrow Thieves
"A Mind Spread Out on the Ground is a new lens on Indigenous Canadian literature." —Terese Marie Mailhot, author of Heart Berries
"We need to clone Alicia Elliott because the world needs more of this badass writer. A Mind Spread Out on the Ground showcases her peculiar alchemy, lighting the darkest corners of racism, classism, sexism with her laser-focused intellect and kind-hearted soul-searching. A fresh and revolutionary cultural critic alternately witty, vulnerable and piercing." —Eden Robinson, author of Son of a Trickster and Trickster Drift
"The future of CanLit is female, is Indigenous—is Alicia Elliott. I anticipate this book to be featured on every 'best of' and award list in 2019, and revered for years to come." —Vivek Shraya, author of I'm Afraid of Men and even this page is white
"In A Mind Spread Out on the Ground, Elliott invites readers into her unceded mind and heart, taking us on a beautiful, incisive and punk rock tour of Tuscarora brilliance. Elliott's voice is fire with warmth, light, rage and endless transformation." —Leanne Betasamosake Simpson, author of This Accident of Being Lost
"Alicia Elliott has gifted us with an Indigenous woman's coming of age story, told through engagingly thoughtful, painfully poignant and enraging essays on race, love and belonging. With poetic prose and searing honesty, she lays bare what it is like to grow up Indigenous and exist in a country proud of its tolerance, but one that has proven to be anything but. She opens eyes and captures hearts, leading you by the hand to see our fractured world through her eyes. Alicia is exactly the voice we need to hear now." —Tanya Talaga, author of Seven Fallen Feathers
"Incisive. That's the word I keep coming back to. A Mind Spread out on the Ground is incredibly incisive. Alicia Elliot slices through the sometimes complicated, often avoided issues affecting so many of us in this place now called Canada. She is at once political, personal, smart, funny, global and, best of all, divinely human. Necessary. That's the other word I keep thinking about. In every chapter, she manages to find the perfect word and the precise argument needed—I found myself saying 'yes, yes, that is exactly it' more than once. I am so grateful for her work." —Katherena Vermette, author of The Break
"A Mind Spread Out on the Ground is an astonishing book of insightful and affecting essays that will stay with you long after the final page." —Zoe Whittall, author of The Best Kind of People

Aboriginal rights do not belong to the broader category of universal human rights because they are grounded in the particular practices of aboriginal people. So argues Peter Kulchyski in this provocative book from the front lines of indigenous people's struggles to defend their culture from the ongoing conquest of their traditional lands. Kulchyski shows that some differences are more different than others, and he draws a border between bush culture and mall culture, between indigenous people's mode of production and the totalizing push of state-led capitalism.
Aboriginal Rights Are Not Human Rights provides much needed conceptual and historical analysis of aboriginal and treaty rights in Canada, and offers concrete suggestions to transform the current policy paradigm into one that supports and invigorates indigenous cultures in a contemporary context.
Every single year in Canada, one-third of all deaths among Indigenous youth are due to suicide. Studies indicate youth between the ages of ten and nineteen, living on reserve, are five to six times more likely to commit suicide than their peers in the rest of the population. Suicide is a new behaviour for First Nations people. There is no record of any suicide epidemics prior to the establishment of the 130 residential schools across Canada.
Bestselling and award-winning author Tanya Talaga argues that the aftershocks of cultural genocide have resulted in a disturbing rise in youth suicides in Indigenous communities in Canada and beyond. She examinees the tragic reality of children feeling so hopeless they want to die, of kids perishing in clusters, forming suicide pacts, or becoming romanced by the notion of dying — a phenomenon that experts call "suicidal ideation." She also looks at the rising global crisis, as evidenced by the high suicide rates among the Inuit of Greenland and Aboriginal youth in Australia. Finally, she documents suicide prevention strategies in Nunavut, Seabird Island, and Greenland; Facebook's development of AI software to actively link kids in crisis with mental health providers; and the push by First Nations leadership in Northern Ontario for a new national health strategy that could ultimately lead communities towards healing from the pain of suicide.
Based on her Atkinson Fellowship in Public Policy series, Tanya Talaga's 2018 Massey Lectures is a powerful call for action and justice for Indigenous communities and youth.

Arts of Engagement focuses on the role that music, film, visual art, and Indigenous cultural practices play in and beyond Canada's Truth and Reconciliation Commission on Indian Residential Schools. Contributors here examine the impact of aesthetic and sensory experience in residential school history, at TRC national and community events, and in artwork and exhibitions not affiliated with the TRC. Using the framework of "aesthetic action," the essays expand the frame of aesthetics to include visual, aural, and kinetic sensory experience, and question the ways in which key components of reconciliation such as apology and witnessing have social and political effects for residential school survivors, intergenerational survivors, and settler publics.
This volume makes an important contribution to the discourse on reconciliation in Canada by examining how aesthetic and sensory interventions offer alternative forms of political action and healing. These forms of aesthetic action encompass both sensory appeals to empathize and invitations to join together in alliance and new relationships as well as refusals to follow the normative scripts of reconciliation. Such refusals are important in their assertion of new terms for conciliation, terms that resist the imperatives of reconciliation as a form of resolution.
This collection charts new ground by detailing the aesthetic grammars of reconciliation and conciliation. The authors document the efficacies of the TRC for the various Indigenous and settler publics it has addressed, and consider the future aesthetic actions that must be taken in order to move beyond what many have identified as the TRC's political limitations.

The story of Native peoples' resistance to environmental injustice and land incursions, and a call for environmentalists to learn from the Indigenous community's rich history of activism.
Through the unique lens of "Indigenized environmental justice," Indigenous researcher and activist Dina Gilio-Whitaker explores the fraught history of treaty violations, struggles for food and water security, and protection of sacred sites, while highlighting the important leadership of Indigenous women in this centuries-long struggle. As Long As Grass Grows gives readers an accessible history of Indigenous resistance to government and corporate incursions on their lands and offers new approaches to environmental justice activism and policy.
Throughout 2016, the Standing Rock protest put a national spotlight on Indigenous activists, but it also underscored how little Americans know about the longtime historical tensions between Native peoples and the mainstream environmental movement. Ultimately, she argues, modern environmentalists must look to the history of Indigenous resistance for wisdom and inspiration in our common fight for a just and sustainable future.
"Highly recommended for American Indian studies and environmental justice students and scholars." —Library Journal
"The process of genocide, which began five centuries ago with the colonization of the Americas and the extermination of indigenous people, has now spread to the planetary level, pushing two hundred species per day to extinction and threatening the entire human species. Dina Gilio-Whitaker's As Long as Grass Grows makes these connections, holding the seeds of resistance, the seeds of freedom, and the promise of a future." —Vandana Shiva, author of Earth Democracy
"As Long as Grass Grows honors Indigenous voices powerfully and centers Indigenous histories, values, and experiences. It tells crucial stories, both inspiring and heartrending, that will transform how readers understand environmental justice. I know many readers will come away with new ideas and actions for how they can protect our planet from forces that seek to destroy some of our most sacred relationships connecting human and nonhuman worlds—relationships that offer some of the greatest possibilities for achieving sustainability." —Kyle Powys White, associate professor, Michigan State University
"From Standing Rock's stand against a damaging pipeline to antinuclear and climate change activism, Indigenous peoples have always been and remain in the vanguard of the struggle for environmental justice. As Long as Grass Grows could not be of more relevance in the twenty-first century. Gilio-Whitaker has produced a sweeping history of these peoples' fight for our fragile planet, from colonization to the present moment. There is nothing else like it. Read and heed this book." —Jace Weaver, author of Defending Mother Earth
"In As Long as Grass Grows, Gilio-Whitaker skillfully delineates the stakes—and the distinctive character—of environmental justice for Indigenous communities. Bold, extensive, accessible, and inspiring, this book is for anyone interested in Indigenous environmental politics and the unique forms of environmentalism that arise from Native communities. Indeed, as Gilio-Whitaker shows, these topics are intertwined with a pressing issue that concerns all people: justice for the very lands we collectively inhabit." —Clint Carroll, author of Roots of Our Renewal
"As Long as Grass Grows is a hallmark book of our time. By confronting climate change from an Indigenous perspective, not only does Gilio-Whitaker look at the history of Indigenous resistance to environmental colonization, but she points to a way forward beyond Western conceptions of environmental justice—toward decolonization as the only viable solution." —Nick Estes, assistant professor, University of New Mexico, and author of Our History Is the Future
"As Long as Grass Grows, in the way no other study has done, brilliantly connects historic and ongoing Native American resistance to US colonialism with the movement for environmental justice. This book helps teach us the central importance of Native theory and practice to transforming the radically imbalanced world that corporate capitalism has made into a world of balance through extended kinship with the social and natural environments on which human beings are dependent for life." —Eric Cheyfitz, professor, Cornell University, and author of The Disinformation Age: The Collapse of Liberal Democracy in the United States
"This groundbreaking new book will ignite conversations about environmentalism and environmental justice. Dina Gilio-Whitaker's beautifully written account of environmental politics compels readers to understand how Indigenous people and the nonhuman world are caught in the gears of settler colonialism—and how an indigenized environmental justice framework can powerfully reframe our debate and our relations to one another and to the natural world around us. As Long as Grass Grows is perfectly timed to offer a fresh and captivating take on some of our most urgent issues of environmental and social justice." —Traci Voyles, author of Wastelanding: Legacies of Uranium Mining in Navajo Country

While land claims made by Canada's aboriginal peoples continue to attract attention and controversy, there has been almost no discussion of the ways in which First Nations lands are managed and the property rights that have been in place since the Indian Act of 1876. Beyond the Indian Act looks at these issues and questions whether present land practices have benefited Canada's aboriginal peoples. Challenging current laws and management, this illuminating work proposes the creation of a new system that would allow First Nations to choose to have full ownership of property, both individually and collectively.
The authors not only investigate the current forms of property rights on reservations but also expose the limitations of each system, showing that customary rights are insecure, certificates of possession cannot be sold outside the First Nation, and leases are temporary. As well, analysis of legislation, court decisions, and economic reports reveals that current land management has led to unnecessary economic losses. The authors propose creation of a First Nations Property Ownership Act that would make it possible for First Nations to take over full ownership of reserve lands from the Crown, arguing that permitting private property on reserves would provide increased economic advantages.
An engaging and well-reasoned book, Beyond the Indian Act is a bold argument for a new system that could improve the quality of life for First Nations people in communities across the country.
Children of the Broken Treaty exposes a system of apartheid in Canada that led to the largest youth-driven human rights movement in the country's history. The movement was inspired by Shannen Koostachin, a young Cree woman whom George Stroumboulopoulos named as one of "five teenage girls who kicked ass in history."
All Shannen wanted was a decent education. She found an ally in Charlie Angus, who had no idea she was going to change his life and inspire others to change the country.
Based on extensive documentation assembled from Freedom of Information requests, Angus establishes a dark, unbroken line that extends from the policies of John A. Macdonald to the government of today. He provides chilling insight into how Canada--through breaches of treaties, broken promises, and callous neglect--deliberately denied First Nations children their basic human rights.
Denied her Indigenous status, Lynn Gehl has been fighting her entire life to reclaim mino-pimadiziwin--the good life. Exploring Anishinaabeg philosophy and Anishinaabeg conceptions of truth, Gehl shows how she came to locate her spirit and decolonize her identity, thereby becoming, in her words, "fully human." Gehl also provides a harsh critique of Canada and takes on important anti-colonial battles, including sex discrimination in the Indian Act and the destruction of sacred places.
Gehl is at the cutting edge with her concepts and ideas... She is on a journey and documents it well. — Lorelei Anne Lambert, author of Research for Indigenous Survival
Clear, insightful, and desperately needed... — Lorraine F. Mayer, author of Cries from a Métis Heart
The discussion of the heart and mind knowledge, as well as the discussion on the Anishinaabeg Clan System of Governance, [are] major contributions to the research. — Marlyn Bennett, co-editor of Pushing the Margins
"Throughout Claiming Anishinaabe, the conversation remains rooted in the destructive effects of oppressive power on the human spirit, and an insistence that both knowledge and spirituality are key in reclaiming one's sense of self." — Quill & Quire

Racism, Trauma and Resistance in Post-Secondary Education
In Colonized Classrooms, Sheila Cote-Meek discusses how Aboriginal students confront narratives of colonial violence in the post secondary classroom, while they are, at the same time, living and experiencing colonial violence on a daily basis. Basing her analysis on interviews with Aboriginal students, teachers and Elders, Cote-Meek deftly illustrates how colonization and its violence are not a distant experience, but one that is being negotiated every day in universities and colleges across Canada.
Setting the Context • Conceptualizing the Impact of the Colonial Encounter • Negotiating the Culture/Colonial Divide in the Postsecondary Classroom • Negotiating Race in the Postsecondary Classroom • Trauma in the Classroom • Resisting Ongoing Racism and Colonialism in the Postsecondary Classroom • Closing the Circle: The Possibilities for Transformational Pedagogy • References
Sheila Cote-Meek is an Anishnaabe-Kwe from the Teme-Augama Anishnabai. She is Associate Vice President of Academic and Indigenous Programs as well as a professor in the School of Indigenous Relations at Laurentian University.
Since the 1970s, the Site C Dam in northeastern British Columbia's Peace River Valley has been touted by B.C. Hydro and successive governments as necessary to meet the province's increasing energy needs. With its enormous $10 billion price tag, the dam would be the largest public works project in BC history. It would be the third dam on the Peace River, and destroy traditional unceded territory belonging to Treaty 8 First Nations.
Following the last provincial election, the newly appointed NDP government called for a review of the project, but work on the dam continues. This comes after protests by aboriginal groups and landowners, several lawsuits against the government, and federal government intervention to let the dam go ahead. More recently, there has been a call from a United Nations panel to review how the dam will affect Indigenous land.
This book presents the independent voices of citizen experts describing every important impact of the dam, including:
- Sustainable energy expert Guy Dauncey on future energy demand, and whether there is likely to be a need for the dam's electricity
- An interview with aboriginal activist Helen Knott on the dam's assault on traditional lands and culture, in particular Indigenous women
- Agrologist Wendy Holm on the farm land impact — prime horticulture land important to food security and nutrition
- Family physician Warren Bell on the effect that loss of traditional way of life and connection to the land has had on the health of aboriginal people
- Wildlife biologist Brian Churchill with forty years' experience of studying its land and wildlife
- Former environmental minister Joan Sawicki on government cover-ups and smoking guns
- Energy industry watchdog Andrew Nikiforuk on the links between dams, fracking and earthquakes
- Award-winning broadcaster Rafe Mair on how party politics corrupts political leadership, and the role of activism and civil disobedience in shaping government decision-making
- David Schindler, one of the world's foremost water ecologists, explains the role dams like Site C will play in Canada's climate change strategy
- Joyce Nelson connects the dots between the Site C dam and continental water sharing plans
"Wendy Holm brings another perspective to the case against Site C, that of the production of crops." — Nelson Star, January 2018
"A massive, $10 billion hydroelectric dam project on British Columbia's Peace River could threaten the First Nations peoples who live nearby. This volume dives deep into the potential impacts and decades of governmental cover-ups related to this long-planned project."— John R. Platt, The Revelator, April 2018
"This book provides an organized and rigorous "how to" guide on the intellectual and fact-based opposition to Site C, and in doing this becomes a great model for a book on any long-term protest. Its ambition is to inform on the subject from every possible angle, keeping the Peace River, the region and its people in mind, rather than the expediency of the business and government angle, which is usually given at least equal weight by the mainstream media." — Cathryn Atkinson, Rabble, June 2018
"There is an "elephant in the room" — not the huge white elephant that you see at No-Site C rallies. This elephant is dark and invisible. The government does not talk about it ... No. This elephant is rather more sinister. Wendy Holm confronts it and exposes it. It's about exporting water."— John Gellard, The Ormsby Review, August 2018
"Damming the Peace is an accessible, thoughtful and informative collection of essays that reveal the grave environmental, human and economic costs if the Site C dam is built."— Tim Pelzer, People's Voice, October 2018

Many promote Reconciliation as a "new" way for Canada to relate to Indigenous Peoples. In Dancing on Our Turtle's Back: Stories of Nishnaabeg Re-Creation, Resurgence, and a New Emergence activist, editor, and educator Leanne Simpson asserts reconciliation must be grounded in political resurgence and must support the regeneration of Indigenous languages, oral cultures, and traditions of governance.
Simpson explores philosophies and pathways of regeneration, resurgence, and a new emergence through the Nishnaabeg language, Creation Stories, walks with Elders and children, celebrations and protests, and meditations on these experiences. She stresses the importance of illuminating Indigenous intellectual traditions to transform their relationship to the Canadian state.
Challenging and original, Dancing on Our Turtle's Back provides a valuable new perspective on the struggles of Indigenous Peoples.
Rupert Ross, as a crown attorney, attempts to give some definition to the cultural gap that bedevils the relationships and distorts the communication between Native peoples and the dominant white Canadian society to encourage others to begin their own respectful cross-cultural explorations. As Ross discovered, traditional perspectives have a great deal to offer modern-day Canada.

Are innovative Hodgkin lymphoma treatments offered at the community level? Why is it important for patients to consult with a specialist? Hodgkin lymphoma experts Dr. Andrew Evens, from Rutgers Cancer Institute of New Jersey, and Dr. Joshua Brody, from Icahn School of Medicine at Mount Sinai, discuss how community oncologists and doctors at academic medical centers can collaborate to provide the best care.
This program is sponsored through a grant from Seattle Genetics. This organization has no editorial control. It is produced solely by Patient Power.

Please remember the opinions expressed on Patient Power are not necessarily the views of our sponsors, contributors, partners or Patient Power. Our discussions are not a substitute for seeking medical advice or care from your own doctor. That's how you'll get care that's most appropriate for you.
Andrew Schorr:
So, this is not a common condition. So, somebody may be in the hinterland, if you will, not where you are by Rutgers, not where you are in Manhattan, but somewhere out there, so how can they make sure that their community doctor is well-informed or consulting with you?
And, I know you have many in your medical group, Mt. Sinai, and may have outside clinics as well. So, can we rely on our community doctor giving you a call? Do we have to?
Esther Schorr:
Do we need to advocate?
Dr. Evens:
So, I would say yes to everything you just said, Andrew. It's all important, and most community doctors—if not all—are fantastic, and they're really smart, and they're really good, but they're also very busy, and like anything—we're lucky. One hundred percent, day and night, we're dedicated to lymphoma, so like anything, it's easier to keep up on the meetings and the cutting-edge stuff. It's hard if it might only be 2 to 5 percent of your practice or less. You might only see a couple patients a year. But, what I would say is there's—they have the resources. Now, they might not be as real-time as we'd like, like the NCCN guidelines, but at least that's something to look at.
And, I'm sure Dr. Brody is the same way—at least, for our health system or outside, open door, open email, open cell phone policy. If there's a question, please contact. I'm happy to see the patient, happy to talk about it. You need that collaboration, I think, and it can always be better between us, but I think it's in a good place. It can always be a little better.
Dr. Brody:
I think it's very reasonable—if you're gonna get treated in the community, you live four hours away from an academic center, you can meet those academic physicians once or twice, and they will say to you, "The approach that has been discussed with you by your community oncologist is absolutely reasonable, maybe it's identical to what we would have done here, so continue with them, and you can check in with us at some intervals—every few months, every few year. You don't have to be coming back and forth all that distance every time if the therapy would be the same otherwise."
Esther Schorr:
So, some of these new protocols can be done at a community level?
Dr. Evens:
If it's approved.
Esther Schorr:
A transplant might be a little more difficult.
Dr. Evens:
If it's FDA-approved. It gets a little trickier with a clinical trial. You'll sometimes have to be at that site. I forgot to mention—I think it's important to—I know you guys well know about how the foundations are a great resource.
So, whether Lymphoma Research Foundation, Leukemia & Lymphoma Society, American Cancer Society have great resources, and sometimes can act as a liaison to the academic specialist, but Esther, what you said of patients being their own advocates: Absolutely, especially for Hodgkin's.
Please remember the opinions expressed on Patient Power are not necessarily the views of our sponsors, contributors, partners or Patient Power. Our discussions are not a substitute for seeking medical advice or care from your own doctor. That's how you'll get care that's most appropriate for you.

A recent paper by the genographic consortium, Influences of History, Geography and Religion on Genetic Structure: The Maronites of Lebanon, demonstrates again the ancient and deep link between Haplogroup J2 and Lebanon. M172, Haplogroup J2 was the most frequent haplogroup found in all 3 Lebanese groups-Lebanese Muslims, Orthodox and Maronites. The frequency of Haplogroup J2 in the Lebanese Maronite community was 34.74%, one of the highest frequencies of M172 published to date. The study also showed however that Haplogroup J2 was found in 26.23% of Lebanese Muslims and 25.85% of Lebanese Greek Orthodox also being the most frequent haplogroup in these respective communities. The aim of the study was to describe the genetic structure of Lebanon and the effect of how social history may have contributed to genetic differentiation between these Lebanese religious groups. While the study did show some minor variance between the communities genetic structure, it revealed no significant distinction of major haplogroups. Supplemental data however did show that J2-M172 with DYS 391=9, often a characteristic of the L70 subclade of YCC Haplogroup J2a4h was almost completely limited to the Lebanese Christian population.
The Maronite community in Lebanon dates back to the 5th Century and is among the first Christian communities in the Near East. The liturgical language of the Maronite Church is Aramaic (Syriac). Their initial settlements were in the Mountains of Lebanon where they remained relatively isolated until the time of the Crusades. They are one of the largest Christian sects in Lebanon. The very high presence of Haplogroup J2-M172 among Maronites strongly suggests J2 was among the founding lineages of the community.

Does VANQUISH M.E.™ Hurt?
Suffering with stubborn fat cells that don't seem to go away, regardless of how much time you spend at the gym? Fat is stubborn – and you're not alone in your struggle to eliminate that unwanted pooch. The truth is, you cannot target and minimize fat through exercise. When you lose weight, you're undergoing a total body effort. While you can sculpt certain areas through toning and weight training exercises, residual fat can still gather around the tummy, hips and thighs.
Fortunately, patients suffering with unwanted fat despite their best efforts can turn to VANQUISH M.E.™, the non-invasive fat minimizing treatment that targets tissue without needles or knives. VANQUISH™ is touch-free, making it a viable option for patients with sensitive skin.
Best of all? There's no pain involved.
How Does VANQUISH M.E.™ Work?
Of all fat reduction devices, VANQUISH M.E.™ covers the largest surfaces and is suitable to target fat on virtually any area of the body. As a body sculpting tool, it allows for surgical-like results without pain and recovery time. Our state-of-the-art machine targets multiple sites at once, reducing inconsistencies and/or errors. In one study, all 25 patients benefitted from clear results after just one treatment. In four sessions, patients saw a 59 percent of abdominal fat reduction. Some of our patients have lost as much as 6 inches or more from their waistlines after four sessions. *
Unlike CoolSculpting, another popular fat reduction technique, VANQUISH™ is painless both during and after the procedure. No down time allows you to return to your daily activities and responsibilities right away.
We understand – you're probably wondering how this innovative technology works. VANQUISH™ transmits heat from the device through multipolar radio waves. Those waves are absorbed through the skin where they can effectively target stubborn fat cells. Over time, your body works to break these cells down on site while you continue living a healthy and fulfilling lifestyle.
Schedule a VANQUISH M.E.™ Consultation in Miami
We welcome all individuals who want to tone and sculpt their bodies for a more confident appearance to schedule a consultation for VANQUISH M.E.™ with Dr. Mariano Busso. Keep in mind, while most of our patients are candidates for the procedure, certain limitations exist. Individuals with metal implants from hip replacement surgery or surgical screws, pacemakers or who are currently pregnant or might be pregnant are not eligible for this procedure.
Otherwise, if diet and exercise aren't enough to shave off those last few stubborn inches, it's time to consider body shaping with VANQUISH M.E.™. Call our Miami aesthetic dermatology clinic at 305-857-0144 or book your next appointment online. We look forward to listening to your concerns and helping you achieve the results of your hard work.

Sam of Wilds faced the Dark wizard Myrin and lived to tell the tale. Granted, the battle left him scarred, but things could be a hell of a lot worse.
It's not until he reunites with Morgan of Shadows and Randall that he realizes just how much worse things could be.
Because the scars have meaning and hint at Myrin's true plans for Sam and the Kingdom of Verania.
With time running out, Sam and his band of merry misfits—the unicorn Gary, the half-giant Tiggy, Knight Commander Ryan Foxheart, and the dragon known as Kevin—must travel to the snowy mountains in the North and the heart of the Dark Woods to convince the remaining dragons to stand against Myrin. Along the way, Sam learns secrets of the past that will forever change the course of the future.
A reckoning is coming for Sam of Wilds, and there is nothing he can do to stop it.
As the series progresses there is a distinct darkening around the edges. The effect is that the humour is not quite as widespread or developed and more serious themes come to the fore. This change is managed carefully, but there is a sense of loss of innocence and play affecting all of the characters. The characters do not necessarily gain in depth but there are changes in the relationships throughout the book. It remains an easy and enjoyable read with clearly identifiable characters. New locations are introduced, but as with earlier books these serve to support the plotlines rather than any intrinsic value.
As with the reduction in humour so too there is less sex in this book. This reflects the changing interactions with the characters and as such is in keeping with the story. Nevertheless, there is a growing consolidation of relationships that seems to outlast minor quibbles. There remain a number of characters whose emotional role is one of supportive care and this reinforces the bonds that hold this group together.
The pace remains comfortable as the lead character faces problem after problem. What is noticeable is that this is beginning to wear on the characters and so tension starts to rise.
The story ends with a number of quite dramatic events that are very different in tone compared to what has gone before. The key building blocks of the story are now well established and the reader primed for what is likely to be a different type of book. It is to be hoped that the innocence is not totally lost.

In honor of the fiftieth anniversary of the X-Men, we're doing a poll of the greatest X-Family (spin-offs of the X-Men) stories of all-time (Here is our previous list of the 50 Greatest X-Men Stories)! You all voted, now here are the results of what you chose as the 50 Greatest X-Family stories! Here is a master list of every story featured so far.
We'll do five each day from here on out (until we get towards the end, when it'll probably get down to 3 a day).
35. "Slumber Party!" New Mutants #21
This classic one-off issue by Chris Claremont and Bill Sienkiewicz is exactly what it sounds like. The girls at the Xavier School have some friends over for a slumber party. Essentially, it is a whole issue full of character development for the various members of the New Mutants, with Rahne especially getting some strong work in (as the girls give her a makeover and Sam ruins everything by not recognizing her when he sees her later in the night). Meanwhile, Warlock comes to Earth and by the end of the issue he has become a member of the team. Issues like this were a rarity then (a double-sized issue by a top creative team just for the hell of it) but they are even rarer today.
34. "Re-X-aminations" X-Factor #13
In this sequel to the original "X-aminations" from the previous X-Factor series, Doc Samson is back to do psych evaluations for all the members of X-Factor Investigations. Just like the previous classic issue written by Peter David, David once again does a wonderful job investigating the various personalities of the group, but always with a slight twist. Pablo Raimondi re-joined David (they had done the Madrox mini-series that launched this series) as the artist on the title with this issue. He does a great job with the various facial expressions each character makes (and there a WHOLE lot of emotions being worked through in this issue).
33. "Magneto Testament" X-Men: Magneto Testament #1-5
This powerful tale by Greg Pak and Carmine Di Giandomenico tells the full origin of young Max Eisenhardt, who will one day be known as Magneto. This is a gripping coming of age story of a young boy growing up in Poland right before World War II and how he endured the Holocaust before his mutant powers change the course of his life. It is striking how authentic Pak's story feels, despite it starring, you know, a kid who can control magnetism. Something like this could feel very wrong, almost like it is making a mockery of something so awful, but Pak toes that line well, paying full respect to the millions of real people who died in the Holocaust.
32. "The Black Sword Saga" Wolverine #1-3
Chris Claremont, John Buscema and Al Williamson set up the basic conceit of the Wolverine ongoing title. Wolverine has taken the alias "Patch" while he works in the deadly nation of Madripoor (think a criminalized version of Hong Kong, only an island). In this opening arc, Claremont brings Jessica Drew to Madripoor as a private detective (along with her friend and patner, Lindsey McCabe). They and Patch are on the track of the mystical Black Sword, which can turn people evil. That's exactly what it does to Wolverine. Things do NOT look good. Can Jessica and the Silver Samurai turn the tide somehow?
31. "The Quest for Magik" New X-Men #38-41
Through a Superboy punch, Illyana Rasputin was brought back to life. The demon Belasco, ruler of Limbo, wants her. To get her he kidnaps a whole bunch of students from the Xavier Institute. Most of these students had never actually seen real superhero combat, but they surprisingly held their own to help save each other. Eventually, they discover Illyana, who is in Limbo but without a soul. The innocent young mutant Pixie vows to help her and gives up a piece of her soul, but just a piece. This piece was enough to form a soul dagger (as opposed to a soul sword). Eventually, the young X-Men and Illyana defeat Belasco and Illyana takes over Limbo and sends the young mutants away. Craig Lyle and Chris Yost wrote it and the amazing Skottie Young drew it (it is nuts seeing Young drawing a four-issue superhero story. Quite the rarity).

Dancers perform to two tunes (approx. 7 min.), topless after two minutes. Non-stop dancing is according to the programme.
We have fewer visitors on Mondays and Thursdays than at weekends. Our clientele on weekdays consists mostly of business people so more champagne is drunk during the week with our dancers than in the Private Dancing. It is important to us that our guests are offered plenty of entertainment.
The club is almost always full at weekends as stag parties are held here and less business people come. The entertainment is therefore important. More Private Dancing is booked at weekends and of course many guests come to chat and drink champagne with our dancers.
Club policy:
Our club policy centres on communication with our clientele. We respect and value our customers. The shows we present should be animated and inventive so we regard costume changes, cocktail uniforms and dancer`s outfits as important items of working garments. It is an advantage if the dancer already has an individual choreography. The more outfits the dancers change, the more interested the guest and the more money they earn. The dancers should be aesthetic, effective and attractive and the system is based on high class choreography and a friendly towards the guest. It is very important to our customers that our dancers can really dance!
Furthermore, interaction with the guests such as including them in a show on the stage is very important.
We can offer accommodation just a few minutes on foot from the club. The accommodation has all the comforts (but no WiFi). All dancers living in our apartments are satisfied with the arrangements which are the same for all dancers. We usually collect our dancers personally from the airport or other station or cover the taxi costs to our accommodation.
All forms of sex inside the club, rendezvous with guests outside the club any kind of drug use inside the club will not be tolerated. Our club is safe and luxurious.
Requirements for new dancers:
– Well groomed appearance, body, hair, nails (manicure, pedicure etc.)
– Communication ability with guests
– Drinking together with guests
– Love of dancing and performing on stage
– 2-3 Costumes for the stage shows, 2-3 Costumes for working with guests in the club area, 2-3 Costumes for private or tables, 2-3 pairs of shoes (this is the minimum! If the dancer has more, all the better.)
If the dancer`s appearance does not meet the standards we have previously set, the club reserves the right to cancel any further cooperation.

Magento 1 Sunset: Pros and Cons Migrating From Magento 1 to 2
"Remember, remember, the 18th of November…"
The rumours were, that with the sunset of Magento 1, the users of free open-source Magento Community edition, i.e. the vast majority of eCommerce website stores powered by Magento, would be left without support and security patches.
This misconception was caused by the fact that, speaking about the support of their customers, the Magento team was often focused on Magento Enterprise, the ecommerce website platform, coming with significant licensing fees.
So while the Magento Enterprise Edition users were assured that they would continue to get the support they're paying for, the non-paying customers of Magento 1 started to look closer at the differences between Magento 1 and 2 and ask themselves, "should i upgrade to magento 2x"?
Magento 1 Sunset What It Means To You
While the Magento officials withheld the comments on the matter, their partners were trying to comfort the anxious community.
The Randmarketing team, our good friends and partners, visited Magento booth at IRCE'17 in Chicago to get the following comment:
We've also been told to anticipate that any security patches put out for Magento Enterprise Edition will include support for Magento Community as well, so Magento CE users should not feel like they may get left behind while Magento EE users continue to receive patches.June 8th, 2017Robert Rand, CTO, Rand Marketinghttps://randmarketing.com
Finally, the Magento team filled in this gap in their official blog. Among other hot topics, mainly around magento 2 benefits (like Magento 2 enterprise features and Magento 2 community feature lists, Magento 2 performance optimisation and other) they lifted the veil on the details of their policy in regards to support of Magento 1 CE after Magento 1 sunset.
Magento 1 has been and will continue to be supported for the foreseeable future. We have no intention of denying access to our world-class software. We're committing to a minimum 18-month notice before we make any changes to our support levels.May 30th, 2017Jason Woosley, SVP Product & Technology in Magento
Nevertheless, the sunset of Magento version 1 is inevitable, so let's study the difference between magento 1 and 2 as well as advantages and disadvantages of Magento 2.
Key Differences Between Magento 1 vs Magento 2 for Merchants
Checkout process has been streamlined. The first thing a customer now sees on checkout is the default guest checkout screen prompting to enter an email address. If it matches an existing customer, they can checkout faster with the previously saved information. Guests are encouraged to create an account in one click from the order Thank You page.
- for registered users it is 29% faster
- for guest checkout the increase in speed is even more palpable, it has become 38% faster.
Administrator backend that's more navigable:
- Support of concurrent product and order management (several – up to 25 – admin users logged in and updating products or processing orders at the same time
- One can customize the admin panel to access all the most important business information quickly.
- The admin panel has become touch-screen friendly to manage your eCommerce store on the go.
Magento 2 got the ability to add Youtube and Vimeo videos in product descriptions. They forecast an increase in sales from 6 % to 30 % thanks to this feature.

Magento 2 and Magento 1 differences for developers
Magento 2 itself, thanks to code improvements, runs around 20% faster than Magento 1.x. Support for PHP 7, bringing huge performance boost and reduced memory consumption, gives up to 90% increase in speed (!!!) additionally. MySQL Percona that is much faster and more scalable, easier to monitor and tune, may contribute into the better performance too.
CSS3 and HTML5 standards for theming, LESS support, JS Prototype replaced with jQuery – these are major frontend design related changes. Besides, there are two new fully-responsive default themes "Blank" and "Luma". They are recommended as a starting point for developers.
Magento 2 has automatic testing aimed at improving the code quality and speeding up the QA process. The Magento team encourages you to use Selenium Grid when you're developing a new Magento 2 based project. Parallelize functional testing and use the full suite at least once a day.
The file system changes:
There are 5 root directories instead of 9. Most of your working files have been reorganised. Everything is now moved into the "app" file, except config.xml where you register your custom module. Further, you will notice the removal of the skin directory. Every module has its own /view directory where the template, layout, JS, CSS and LESS files of this module are stored. Thanks to Inchoo, there's a good overview of Magento 2 frontend theme architecture.
Removed tables:
Renamed tables:
core_website – > store_website
core_store – > store
core_translate – > translation
core_url_rewrite – > url_rewrite
core_store_group – > store_group
core_email_template – > email_template
sales_flat_order – > sales_order
sales_flat_order_address – > sales_order_address
sales_flat_order_grid – > sales_order_grid
sales_flat_order_item – > sales_order_item
sales_flat_order_payment – > sales_order_payment
sales_flat_order_status_history – > sales_order_status_history
coupon_aggregated_order – > salesrule_coupon_aggregated_order
New tables:
Last but not least, starting from Magento v.2.0 it can run from the /vendor directory, starting from 2.1 – run from any arbitrary directory.
All the above is definitely a huge step forward for those who decided to start an online store.
As for migrating, well, Houston, we have a problem. Extensions require a full rewrite. Simple copying the code won't do the trick.You will have more success settling yourself in a comfy chair and rewriting Magento extensions from scratch with your tongue sticked out, following the new Magento development guidelines and overcoming a remarkable learning curve…and that's one of the strongest Magento 2 disadvantages.
Magento 2 vs Magento 1 performance [in figures and graphics]
In Magento 1.9 vs 2.0 performance comparison the latter wins thanks to the support of PHP 7, MySQL Percona, overall code optimization as well as one more great Magento 2 feature – full-page caching. It means that the Magento eCommerce store pages load 1 – 2 seconds, and compared to 5 – 10 seconds for non-cached pages, that's a huge win in speed. Moreover, Magento v2 supports Varnish Cache out of the box and it would be a sin not to reap a benefit from it.

Magento 2 Community vs Enterprise
Reading all the above you may ask, how the Magento community feature list looks like. Are they Magento Enterprise Features only or will the users of CE be able to enjoy all the advantages of Magento 2?
To quote the Magento officials, this is what only the paying customers will get:
Improvements include asynchronous grid fulfillment, standalone database for checkout, compatibility with MySQL cluster, more concurrent admins for order, and product management and complete separation of store sub-systemsJuly, 15th, 2015Magento Marketing team
Given the Magento Enterprise price varies from $22,000.00 to $125,000.00 per year, and their hosted Enterprise level solution Magento Commerce is even more expensive – $40,000.00 – $190,000.00 per year (the official website does not clearly state it, so I had to look for Magento 2 pricing in the alternative sources and found these figures here), this summary needs clarification, as the customers want strong reasons to pay up.
Fortunately, there already exist a comprehensive comparison illustrating the difference between Magento 2 CE and EE (kudos to Besim Saraçi for this review!). But if you want the essence, I have prepared the brief summary:
Split Database Keypoint
This feature of Magento 2 EE enables you to use three master databases (for orders, checkout and product data) plus a customizable number of slave databases responsible for replication. Since the MySQL database replicates asynchronously, slave databases don't have to be permanently connected for receiving master update. Moreover they support data backup, scalability, and data analysis which does not affect the master database, making the entire system pretty reliable.
Just to compare, Magento 2 Community Edition incorporates only a single master database.

Magento 2 EE got Solr and Elastic Search to make the on-site search more powerful. However Solr is deprecated in Magento 2.1 and will not be supported in 2.2. So the Magento developer guide advises that you use Elastic Search instead, a newer and more popular search technology.
The users of CE who want to utilize this technology may purchase one of 3rd party extensions, Magento 2 ready, for about a hundred bucks.
Advanced Content Management Tools
Starting from Magento Enterprise v.2.1, there appeared a feature every content marketer will love. Content Staging and Preview. The admin can make changes to the site and preview how the site will look (with full browsability) at some point in the future without having to publish the changes live.
Message Queues
Magento 2 EE users may utilize Message queues powered by Rabbit MQ, a messaging broker used for sending and receiving message,as well as storing undelivered ones.
Custom customer attributes
There also appeared the ability to manage customer attributes and create custom customer attributes. Based on these attributes, you can flexibly segment the customers and give promotions to a specific group of customers only. The feature is also handy for merchants who manage several eCommerce stores and need different attributes for each.
In Magento 2 CE, you still can add other than default Customer Attributes, but you have to buy an extension.
Customer loyalty tools
The tools to achieve the best customer loyalty are included into Magento 2 EE too: Rewards Points, In-Store Credits, Gift Registry and Gift Cards, Private Sales with Invite-a-friend option, Bulk Ordering, Recurring payments.
Most of these features (probably, not exact copies, but still close to the original) are available for CE as paid extensions from partners with an average price of $149-$199.
Rules-based product recommendations
Rules-based Related Products, Up-sells and Cross-sells, say, depending on the average totals of past orders will make user experience more personalized, yet requires a more sophisticated configuration and smart marketing skills. The "plain" Up-sells and Cross-sells are a prerogative of Magento 2 Community Edition customers.
Scheduled data transfer
Another Magento 2 EE advantage is the scheduled FTP/SFTP transfer via XML, useful for managing very large catalogs and inventory updates in a more performant manner than bulk API calls.
Tag Manager
This tool by Google is available in EE out of the box. It gives you the ability to add and update your tags placed into the website for conversion tracking, site analytics, remarketing. It supports a large range of Google's own as well as 3rd party tags like Kochava, Crazy egg, ComScore, Tune and dozens of others.
Tech support service included
Last but not least, dedicated 24/7 support and a dedicated account manager – this is the privilege of paying users of Magento 2.
Magento 1 to 2 Migration: What You Need To Know
Now that you know, what is new in magento 2, have some kind of Magento 2 features list and understand the difference between magento 1 and 2, you may consider upgrading from version 1 to version 2.
So, how do I upgrade Magento, say, 1.9.2 to 2.x?
In a nutshell, you don't.
Because of huge changes in files and database structure, moving from Magento 1.x to 2.x is actually a migration, not an upgrade.
- The data has to be exported and rearranged to comply with the new database tables/columns. A special tool will help. It verifies the consistency between Magento 1 and 2 database structures, tracks the progress of data transfer, creates logs, and runs data verification tests.
- Migrating images and other media files must be done manually.
- The files and directory structure as well as internal operations of Magento 2 differ so much that if you use any custom extensions ( and who doesn't?), you will need to have your modules rewritten. Same applies for themes and templates.
The good news is that Magento team has rolled out the Code Migration Toolkit, aimed at helping you to port your extensions and custom code to Magento 2.
The bad news is that even the rough estimation shows that an average Magento 2 migration is "about 20% larger than a Magento 1.x upgrade" [Quote source: Official Migration guide].
Basically, you will keep running the old eCommerce website powered by 1.x version on your production site . At the same time you will move your data to the 2.x version running on a dev server , reimplement your addons, custom themes and features from scratch, than test until you think it's ready. After that you will close your live storefront, synchronize your data with the live store, test again and replace the old store with a new one.
Easy to say, but hard to do, yeah. At least 20% harder than you're used to ( if only you have ever upgraded your Magento 1 store already).

Magento 2 disadvantages
Speaking about Magento 1 vs Magento 2 in 2017 and having a list of Magento 2 killer features on file, we can not ignore such an important point as Magento 2 disadvantages. The list is not too long, yet they do exist.
One of the worst things is that porting your store's data is doable, but taking your customization with you is not:
- First of all, not every single extension is Magento 2 ready. But even if they are, you are expected to repurchase them. Thus, extra expenses will appear regardless, be it a purchase of ready-made module or integrating it anew. Besides, this process can be quite a hassle if you are at least a bit selective and search only for trustworthy providers and qualified modules.
- Furthermore, Magento 1 themes cannot be transferred to Magento 2 with a wave of a magic wand, and it goes without saying that they are not compatible by default. You have to build them from scratch or find some replacement.
Magento developers used to working on Magento 1 will need to upskill. If you decide to move forward with this switch, you might need to wait until your developer is feeling confident – or find a better (and more expensive, maybe) developer.
Magento 2 system requirements are such that it requires a professional admin for administration, thus merchants must invest more money into both the server itself and its maintenance.
To enjoy the top features you need Magento EE, the proprietary software which requires a paid license. It costs $22,000.00 – $125,000.00 per year. Moreover, if you choose Magento Commerce, that is a Magento-hosted cloud Enterprise solution, be ready to open your purse – $40,000.00 – $190,000.00 per year, depending on the size of your business.[Source] OMG, up to almost $200K for a license only!
Magento 2 is new, it's not an evolution of Magento 1 but an independent brand-new product with new technology inside, even though created by the same team. As in any new software, it's going to take some time to work the bugs out and make the product stable -and trusted!- enough for production eCommerce stores.
When should I upgrade to Magento 2 (and should I?)
"You take the blue pill, the story ends. You wake up in your bed and believe whatever you want to believe. You take the red pill, you stay in Wonderland, and I show you how deep the rabbit hole goes."
The answer really depends on your current site and its condition, on the version of Magento you run.
- If it is running well and the orders are coming, if it uses the version that's not too outdated (say, anything older than 1.8 CE IS quite outdated), there is no rush, you may take a blue pill.
- If you're experiencing some performance issues, or if the version is legacy, or if you're just not happy with the current state of things, you should consider migration [and see how deep the rabbit hole goes, yeah]
If as a user of Magento 1 you're thinking about the differences between Magento 1 and 2 now, probably it's the perfect moment for you to you evaluate whether Magento is still the best ecommerce platform solution for you. It will anyway be a migration, a complex and time-consuming process, so you should absolutely consider what other ecommerce solutions are available as there may be a more efficient solution fitted for your store's needs. Some of its best alternatives are Shopify, or X-Cart, or Prestashop.
Why Now Is The Perfect Time To Switch
Before you read further, I would like to say that I have a great deal of respect for this amazing eCommerce platform. Magento is one of the top players on the market. Not for nothing do thousands of loyal customers around the world choose Magento 1 or 2.
Yet, it doesn't suit everyone. Some users are fed up with Magento performance issues, others are getting tired of waiting for bug fixes in CE edition, that take years. The third group of former Magento adepts found out that while Magento was the obvious choice several years ago, right now there are dozens of other platforms that are pretty competitive and meet their needs better.
That's why It's not uncommon to leave Magento for another eCommerce website builder. If you have ever had such an intent, now when Magento 1 sunset is coming, it is the perfect time. At least – a perfect time to look around and notice a couple of Magento alternatives that may work better for your business.
Here Shopify (and Shopify Plus for Magento EE users), Prestashop, Opencart and X-Cart come to my mind.
Spoiler: further goes the text why X-Cart 5 rocks. It really does, if you're interested – keep reading. If not – drop here and please do me a favor to leave a comment or two under this article – did you find it informative and useful?
Why to switch to X-Cart 5?
Being a proprietary software available at affordable cost, X-Cart beats both the best free ecommerce platforms and the expensive enterprise ecommerce platforms. Studying how X-Cart 5 compares to Magento 2 deserves a separate article, so here's a short overview.

This quick ecommerce platform comparison shows that, compared to Magento, X-Cart stands out for several reasons, beating both the Community and Enterprise editions:
- it offers Enterprise features at ¼ of Magento Enterprise price
- it provides premium support 24/7 directly from the vendor regardless of the solution you use – even if you choose Free X-Cart Edition
- it's has both a hosted and an on-premise solution with equally high degree of customizability, (100% access to code in both cases) and the price of vendor-hosted solution is not sky-high.
Don't take my word, check X-Cart in action. No credit card or any other unholy stuff like that 😉
Icing on the cake, there's a special offer for Magento EE users: we offer a FREE data migration if you move to X-Cart Enterprise.
