Christine (Szerejko) Shenette Aboard the Steamship Keewatin
Once again I am dipping into my mom's vacation photo album from the 1940s. Three years ago I found my mom's vacation album, and I've posted her vacation photos annually since. Her photos from her Canada trip will make this the fourth year running. I have to admit, I look forward to writing my annual vacation post--it's my favorite post of the year! I guess it's kind of like going on vacation. You wait for it for so long, and then it's over in the blink of an eye.
After going to the Tumbleweed Guest Ranch in the Catskills for three years in a row--1943, 1944, 1945--my mom, Christine (Szerejko) Shenette, and her sister, Helene (Szerejko) Dingle, decided to branch out and and take a cruise through the Great Lakes to Canada on the Canadian Pacific steamship Keewatin with a couple of friends.
|The back of a lunch menu from the steamship Keewatin
|"The 'Kee' "
According to Wikipedia, the Keewatin was launched 6 July 1906, ran almost continuously for 60 seasons and was retired in 1966. For the last 20 years of her existence the Kee ran under strict regulations for wooden cabin steamships. In 1949 (three years after my mother's trip on the Keewatin) another ship on the line, the Noronic, burned, resulting in the loss of 118 lives. You can read the Wikipedia article on the Noronic disaster here. My mother saved a souvenir booklet from her trip that shows the other ships on the line--the S.S. Huronic, the S.S. Assiniboia (the Keewatin's sister ship), the S.S. Manitoba, and the S.S. Noronic.

The photo looks to have been taken at Oaks Garden Theatre. There is a lovely contemporary shot here.
|"Our favorite crew
'nautical but nice' "
The ship set sail every Wednesday and Saturday from early June through mid September. I know my mom took her vacation 1946, but I didn't exactly know when, but now I know it was probably sometime between June and mid September. Given the clothes that she and her traveling companions were wearing it was kind of hard to tell. I figured it could have been any time from spring through early fall. Return trips left Fort William on Saturdays and Tuesdays and arrived back in Port McNicoll early on Mondays and Thursdays.

|"Kris, Laura, Helene, Phyl.

'Miss North Pole of 1946' "
|"Ve yust come over"
The photo above kind of cracks me up, but also makes me a bit sad. Given that it was 1946 I bet they saw way too many people coming to the States from the old country. My aunt Helen Bulak worked with an organization to help Polish refugees once they got to Worcester, so I bet my mom and her sister saw way too many people, especially women wearing babushkas, saying, "Ve yust come over."
|"Jerry + Helen
(Gerald Allen Fullerton)"
|"Bill + Kris
(William Murry Doyle)"
|"Smoke stack Lou Lou
(I don't want to set the world on fire, I just want to set a flame in your heart)"
It's been a long journey across the lakes, and time to say goodbye for now. The boat train is waiting at the station, and I'm ready to go home,
Bon Voyage, until next year!

The world's first food bank was St Mary's Food Bank Alliance in Arizona, which started in 1967. In 1965, while volunteering for a community dining room, John van Hengel learned that grocery stores disposed of food that had damaged packaging or was near expiration. He started collecting that food for the dining room but soon had too much for that one programme. He thought of creating a central location from which any agency can receive donations. With the help of St Mary's Basilica, the first food bank was born.
Food banks quickly spread across the United States. By 1976, the precursor to Feeding America was established. Its network of more than 200 food banks provides support for 90,000 projects. Other large networks include Ample Harvest, which lists some 33,000 food pantries that can utilise overproduction of fresh produce.
- 1967: Started by John van Hengel in the US
- 1976: Feeding America established
- 1984: Food bank established in France
- 1985: Food bank established in Canada
- 1986: European Federation of Food Banks founded
- 1995: Mexican Association of Food Banks established
- 2004: Argentine Food Bank Network established
- 2006: Creation of The Global FoodBanking Network
- 2007: Food Bank Leadership Institute established
Since the 1980s, food banking has spread around the world. More than 20 countries with active food bank groups come under the umbrella of The Global Foodbanking Network.
The Food Bank Singapore is an official member of The Global Foodbanking Network.

Our Sustainability Initiatives
Quark Expeditions is profoundly committed to environmentally responsible tourism.
As a long-serving, active member of both the International Association of Antarctica Tour Operators (IAATO) and the Association of Arctic Expedition Cruise Operators (AECO), Quark Expeditions adheres to stringent guidelines designed to ensure the Polar Regions remain pristine for generations to come.
Our Sustainability Initiatives
- Our vessels burn Marine Gas Oil (MGO) a clean burning fuel with a low emission factor
- Quark Expeditions conforms to all international regulations/policies governing the disposal of waste at sea
- We serve only sustainable seafood
- We use eco-friendly laundry chemicals & cabin amenities
- We provide every passenger with a reusable water bottle
- We use only recycled, acid-free paper onboard and limit paper use
- We use recycled paper and acid-free inks in the manufacture of our brochures
Our Charitable Work
Quark Expeditions has been a proud ambassador of the Polar Regions since 1991. Thanks to our passengers, our onboard auctions have raised an average of $150,000 each season for charities dedicated to sustainability and conservation in the places we visit.
This year, Quark Expeditions will support the following charities:
Polar Bears International
Polar Bears International (PBI) is dedicated to the worldwide conservation of polar bears and their sea-ice homes, through research, education, action programs and stewardship. PBI is considered the world's foremost authority on polar bears.
The Challenge
Polar Bears are facing critical and immediate threats due to climate change, sea ice loss, global warming, and the impacts of industrialization. Since May 2008 and under the U.S. Endangered Species Act, polar bears have been considered a threatened species. Quark Expeditions and our passengers are passionate supporters of the Arctic region, and of PBI. As passengers often have the opportunity to glimpse polar bears on their expeditions, many become ardent and life-long PBI ambassadors after seeing bears first-hand in their natural environment. Every year, funds are raised on each Quark Expeditions voyage to benefit PBI efforts. Quark is also proud to participate in several PBI campaigns throughout the year, such as "Take The Next Step", "Petition For Polar Bears", "Earth Day - No Idling Challenge", "Thermostat Challenge" and others.
Clean Up Svalbard
A partnership between tourists, tour operators and the Governor of Svalbard, Clean up Svalbard's mission is to help preserve and "clean up" some of the stunning and unique wilderness of Svalbard.
The Challenge
The beauty of the spectacular and pristine Svalbard wilderness is being jeopardized by sea-transported garbage, an increasing problem in the Arctic. Most of this waste is transported to the area by ocean currents - northbound sea currents are bringing an increased amount of garbage from all over the world to this vulnerable region. Beaches are becoming littered with plastic, empty oil vats, fishnets and other waste. And while the sight of pollution on a beach in the Arctic is unfortunate, far worse is the threat this fast growing problem is causing wildlife. Birds and other animals sometimes eat the plastic, or get caught in fishnets and ropes, and risk suffering slow, painful deaths. This is having a significant negative impact on arctic wildlife, which is also seriously challenged by climate change.
With the help of the local population and concerned volunteers, the office of The Governor of Svalbard cleans up beaches every summer. Quark staff enthusiastically take part in this initiative and encourage our passengers who are interested in participating to also get involved. The task is simple—with the help of staff, volunteers help to collect plastic, glass and other debris from the beach. Along the way, passengers might pleasantly find driftwood and other interesting wood objects or remains from Svalbard's history. Cultural remains are vulnerable treasures and are to be left undisturbed.
Tons of debris has been removed over the past decade, and with the help of Quark passengers, we look forward to continuing to preserve this magnificent arctic resource.
Underwater Bait Setter
The Underwater Bait Setter project creates and delivers a critical piece of fishing equipment - the BS30 - that prevents seabird by-catch by setting longline fishing hooks underwater, away from seabird reach. This underwater bait setter device is the first of its kind in the world, and may one day solve the seabird by-catch problem in longline fisheries.
The Challenge
Over 3.9 million albatross have died as a result of longline fishing since 2000, with another albatross death every two minutes. This is particularly alarming, as 17 of 22 albatross species are currently threatened with extinction. Long line fishing is the main threat to the population.
As a leading polar travel company, we take great pride in the environmental and conversation initiatives we support. Quark Expeditions is a proud sponsor of this project, which is managed by a team of engineers, business managers and scientists working together to reduce the risk to albatross and other seabirds, while also benefitting the fishing industry. Since becoming involved, Quark's funding has helped pay for the research, development and testing of the BS30. We will now continue to support Underwater Bait Setter as it moves into its implementation phase, by gifting a new device to an industry-leading New Zealand tuna fishing operation.
The South Georgia Heritage Trust (SGHT)
South Georgia Heritage Trust (SGHT) act as caretakers of the historic Grytviken church in South Georgia and are the leaders of the South Georgia Habitat Restoration Project (SGHRP). SGHT aims to preserve the history of fascinating South Georgia, and restore its environment. The SGHRP, specifically, aims to reverse the ecological destruction caused by invasive rodents, which were introduced by sealers and whalers to the area over the last two centuries.
The Challenge
South Georgia offers a unique environment that supports an abundance of wildlife, including penguin rookeries. However, the arrival of rats and other rodents on the sealing and whaling ships of the past have caused significant damage to the island's native bird populations. The eggs and chicks of several ground-nesting birds are eaten by rats and other rodents. In addition, the retreat of the area's glaciers—caused by climate change—is, in turn, allowing rats to gain a stronger foothold in the area. SGHT works tirelessly to raise project funds to rid the island of millions of invasive rats and mice, which threaten the survival of one of the world's most significant seabird sanctuaries. Quark passengers who travel to South Georgia see first-hand the awe of South Georgia's native birds, and often become very keen to support the SGHRP. On each voyage, Quark conducts passenger auctions, and a portion of proceeds is directed to SGHT. All monies raised for SGHT directly benefit SGHRP restoration efforts.
Penguin Watch
Penguin Watch, a project run by Dr. Tom Hart, researches the threats to Antarctic penguins. The project conducts long-term monitoring of penguin populations, and genetic analysis of penguin feathers, to obtain a "complete picture" of how these populations are changing.
The Challenge
Penguin populations are altering. And, in some cases, declining. Penguin Watch aims to explore threats to the global penguin population, identify risk factors, inform policy, and educate the public on the impacts climate change, fisheries, and other factors have on penguin populations. Along with raising funds through onboard auctions, Quark passengers and others can get involved with Penguin Watch by helping to monitor and annotate penguin populations through Penguin Watch.
The website enables viewers to monitor and annotate penguins and other wildlife in Antarctica and the Southern Ocean. This monitoring and annotation, in turn, helps Penguin Watch track colonies for research and analysis. Quark passengers on select Antarctic voyages have a unique opportunity to witness polar preservation research in action, as Dr. Tom Hart often joins Quark Expeditions on Antarctic voyages.
Contact a Quark Polar Travel Adviser for information on upcoming voyages with Dr. Tom Hart.

Ronald Mehring, Chief Information Security Officer, Texas Health Resources, discussed security risk management in a keynote address to Argyle's CISO membership at the 2015 Chief Information Security Officer Leadership Forum in Dallas on Oct. 21. In his presentation, "Security Risk Management: How I Stopped Worrying and Love the Data," Mehring examined his journey in growing and leading a data-driven healthcare information security program.
Today, Mehring said Texas Health Resources' information security program is "risk-driven" - but it certainly did not start this way. In the past, his company's approach to information security involved a huge, monolithic security infrastructure that was ineffective, Mehring added.
"To become data driven, you have to actually tie compliance and security together."
Mehring shared insights from the challenges the company encountered in addressing evolving healthcare regulatory requirements, and the lessons learned throughout the journey. Initially, Mehring noted that their information security infrastructure actually created risk rather than minimizing it.
The elaborated on the many challenges facing the company at the time: "How am I going to address that regulatory requirement? Then what we have going on at the same time, especially in healthcare, is an enormous amount of technology and application churn," he said. "It's getting extremely complicated and complex to manage."
To address Texas Health Resources' information security concerns, Mehring said he used a VEN diagram to outline the key issues. He pointed out every security control needed to address reliability as well as resiliency from both safety and privacy perspectives. And ultimately, Mehring said he was able to group compliance and security together to effectively minimize risk.
"To become data driven, you have to actually tie compliance and security together," Mehring noted. "You've got this beautiful compliance floor that you built in your organization, and where you want to go is that beautiful ceiling where you have this full protection, high reliability type of security program - and then you've got the walls that really tie them together."
So how can organizations successfully address compliance and security questions? Leadership plays an important role, Mehring said, and developing evidence-based practices based on data can help an organization achieve its information security goals.
"Be patient, it's going to take time. To become data driven in our organization, two years, not three months, not six months, not one year, two years and I'm saying data-driven, in other words re-orientating everyone so they're actually using data to make decisions."
In addition, organizations in all industries need to examine their insurance needs, Mehring added.
"Insurance is a big thing these days. How much risk do I just throw out in insurance? What makes sense from the organizational standpoint? What makes sense? How much risk should I transfer? Every industry is different, but you will have to come up with that type of stuff and it needs to be evidence based. You can't do that without data," Mehring pointed out.
A fragmented organization, i.e. a business that features siloed departments, is at greater risk than an organization that promotes collaboration, Mehring noted. If an organization focuses on people, processes and technology, it can reduce its information security risks.
Mehring added, "What will happen is that your data will be fragmented, it will be all over the place; you'll be missing and you won't be able to answer those critical questions, I guarantee it. But structurally and organizationally, you have to set yourself up for this."
Mehring also stressed the need for modern organizations to empower and enable the entire workforce to be data and analytics driven. No matter what industry, employees who use data collection activities are empowered to find ways to become more productive and efficient. The organization as a whole can leverage data to bolster its efficiency and reduce its operating costs as well, he added.
Shifting gears to security, Mehring noted that an organization that educates its employees about myriad security dangers can proactively minimize risk. Giving workers a step-by-step process to deal with security issues ensures they can identify and eliminate any cyber threats they encounter.
Mehring also spent time speaking to data analysis, which has become increasingly valuable for organizations of all sizes. Mehring noted successful data analysts must use standardized processes to evaluate data, thereby enabling the organization to optimize the value of this information.
Mehring stressed the importance of an objective approach to data analysis. With an objective approach, data analysts can avoid biased plans that lead organizations to "mis-prioritize" their security initiatives.
"What will happen is that your data will be fragmented, it will be all over the place; you'll be missing and you won't be able to answer those critical questions, I guarantee it."
Setting up a use case that empowers data analysts to better understand how an organization will respond to various security risks is also essential, as this use case enables an organization to collect actionable data it can use to bolster its security. Mehring added that this can further enable an organization to take further steps towards become a data-driven organization.
Towards the end of his presentation, Mehring paused to highlight the amount of time and patience his fellow executives need to successfully incorporate data into their operations.
"Be patient, it's going to take time. To become data driven in our organization, two years, not three months, not six months, not one year, two years and I'm saying data-driven, in other words re-orientating everyone so they're actually using data to make decisions," Mehring said. "Very difficult, have patience take it step-by-step on how you're actually building your use cases, on how you're moving that data out to stakeholders and visualizing it. Be very patient with it."
Ron Mehring serves as the chief information security officer / director, information security for Texas Health Resources, one of the largest faith-based, nonprofit health care delivery systems in the United States. The system's primary service area includes 16 counties in north-central Texas, home to more than 6.2 million people.
At Texas health Resources, Ron leads IT GRC, security architecture, security operations, and the IT BC DR program. His current initiatives are focused on improving team performance, improving resiliency management, integrating a threat-management architecture that accounts for present and emerging threats, and maturing a technology risk management program that is aligned with the strategic goals of the organization.
Ron began his career in technology for the United States Marine Corps. After 21 years of military service, Ron retired from the Marine Corps and joined the Department of Veteran Affairs where he led Compliance Assessment teams within the newly formed Oversight & Compliance group. He also served as the Department of Veterans Affairs, Deputy Director for Network & Security Operations.
Ron holds an MBA in Risk Management from NYIT and is a Certified Information Systems Security Professional (CISSP).

Why is it that only Iron (and it's products, e.g. Steel) is magnetic?
Could Titanium (for example) become ionized to the point of being magnetic?
Does this happen in nature, or via man-made methods which I just don't
know about? What are all metals that can become magnets? Why or why
Before going into details, there is a theory in chemistry called quantum
numbers. This theory explains that the electrons are not at rest, but they
are rotating and spinning in their atomic orbitals. This spin causes a
magnetic field. This magnetic field is manifested only if the electron
is not paired.
(It is well known that the old theory that claimed that the electrons rotate in circular paths is no longer valid. The new theories say that the electrons exist in so called orbitals, which is a space that can contain up to 2 electrons. If one electron exists, the magnetic properties will be manifested.)
Returning back to our questions, the first category is for the elements
or compounds that show some magnetic properties under certain conditions.
These materials have unbalanced (unpaired) electron(s) in their orbitals.
These unpaired electrons spin, and their spinning creates magnetic fields.
Each molecule, hence, forms a magnet. Thus if a magnetic field is applied
to these molecular magnets, they will arrange themselves and align
to increase this effect. This type of magnetism is far weaker than the
one due to Iron and some other compounds.
Experimentally, paramagnetic property was found to directly proportional to the applied magnetic field, and inversely proportional to the temperature (Curies law). There is a famous example in nearly all Physics and Chemistry textbooks showing liquid oxygen being poured between magnetic poles; oxygen is seen being attracted to the poles.
The last type is ferromagnetism. Iron, Cobalt, gadolinium, dysprosium, and Nickel show ferromagnetic properties. These are the materials used to fabricate permanent magnets. In addition to the unpaired electrons, these materials have other magnetic properties described by the Domain theory. This theory proposes that these materials contain microscopic regions called domains, within which the magnetic fields due to atoms are aligned. Their volumes is about 10E-12 to 10E-8 cubic meters. Under normal conditions, domains are randomly oriented, and they have no magnetic effect. However, when they are put in a magnetic field, they tend to perfectly arrange themselves. So maximum magnetic property is achieved. In order to magnetize one of these elements, we use a magnet and we move it on the ferromagnetic metal in one direction; so that domains can be arranged. Or this is done using the magnetic field created from a solenoid, and using it to arrange the domains in one direction.
Returning back to your questions.
Why is it that only Iron (and it's products, e.g. Steel) is magnetic? Could Titanium (for example) become ionized to the point of being magnetic? Does this happen in nature, or via man-made methods which I just don't know about? What are all metals that can become magnets? Why or why not?
I guess you can now attribute the answer of every question to a part in my discussion. However, I would like to point out that the magnetic property is because of the electrons and their pairing, because, as I said, oxygen for example may show magnetic properties. So, if you want to know the magnetism of an element or a compound, look at its electron configuration and you will know how to categorize it.

Riptide Hang On For Win Over Division Leaders
SAINT JOHN, NB – The Saint John Riptide were looking to make it three-straight victories when they took on the Halifax Hurricanes this afternoon at Harbour Station. The Atlantic division's top two teams were set to face off in what could only be described as a battle.
Saint John looked good early as they were able to gain a slight advantage over the visiting Hurricanes on the scoreboard. Darin Mency lead the way as the Riptide grabbed a 22-18 lead after one quarter of play. Halifax pushed back a bit in the second quarter but the Riptide would match them on offence and hold the same four-point edge at the break. 46-42 was the score at halftime.
In the third quarter Saint John took it to the division leaders once again and added to their lead. Horace Wormely turned red hot and helped his squad extend the lead by three points, 74-67 going into the fourth quarter. The fourth quarter saw no shortage of excitement and nail-bitter moments as the Hurricanes mounted a comeback.
They would eventually take the lead in the frame but could not hang onto it as the Riptide did their best to give the home fans something to cheer about. A foul was called against the Hurricanes with just seconds remaining and the Riptide in-bounded the ball. Cliff Clinkscales stole the ball from Haakim Johnson and fed it to CJ Washington who put up a last second shot to tie it. However, the shot rimmed out and the buzzer sounded to give the Riptide a 97-95 win.
Darin Mency was the high man with 23 points while Haakim Johnson posted 22 points and 12 rebounds. Horace Wormely finished with 18 points and 11 assists with Gabe Freeman also getting 18 points. Billy White lead the Hurricanes with 23 points on the day.

Fabulous week of wins for our Riptide, enjoyed the games tremendously after the fiasco of the week before.

Mary Polak - Minister of Children & Family Development, speaking about criticism of cuts of positions that supported parents in in accessing Infant Development services and Special Needs daycare for children with disabilities.
"It will be very straightforward," said Falcon, noting that people will pay 80 percent of their after tax income for their care. "Will they be happy about it? They certainly probably will not be."
Kevin Falcon - Minister of Health, speaking about increases for seniors living in residential care facilities.
Sitting back sometimes and taking a breather, taking in what's happening around one's watering hole often pays off. You begin to see things at a broader level, spot the themes and the patterns swirling around said watering hole.
Beautiful BC is the metaphorical watering hole in this story. The destruction and cuts being carried out by the BC Liberal government toward the vulnerable, the marginal and the insecure are the most prevalent themes and patterns occurring these days. The corruption, the greed and the diminishing status of the BC public service are themes and patterns all too obvious to many of us.
Since 2005 BC Liberals Sucks has been blogging and creating a log, a library chronicling the mismanagement, the corruption and the actions of a morally bankrupt government. In 2009, we can see that when we think they cannot reach new lows of depravity, they take our collective breath away with their cruelty toward our most vulnerable and precious citizens, with their excuses for those who have abused the public trust placed in them, by their greed and incompetence.
The quotes above are perfect examples of the mean-spirited, cold-hearted manipulative and self-serving excuses made by this government to those who attempt to speak and advocate on behalf of those who will experience harm at the expense of their own government. There is nothing like straight from the mouth comments like this to cut to the core of this government.
Being such a media fiend, reading mainstream, non-mainstream, blogs and comments of citizens of our fair province, talking to people from all walks of life, I think I have a good handle on the "pulse" of many. What I see in BC is that many of us are being wounded. We are being kicked when we are down and when we need the support of our government most. We are being handed B.S., lies and sophistry to cover up the misdeeds of those who lined their pockets at our expense, those who cause harm in how they conduct government, OUR government.
Our young people don't vote - for good reason. Governments have become lethally corrupt. They cause the harm they should be working 24/7 to mitigate. And it isn't just short-term pain, for long-term gain. The actions carried out by government will have long-lasting impacts. The harm done today, will reach into our next generations. One need only look to the legacy of colonization and the attempted genocide of Aboriginal peoples of Canada to see the damage done by amoral and greedy governments. I guarantee that when many of us look back in a decade or two and ask where things went so wrong for BC - the blame will be fixed firmly on the shoulders of those who smugly sit in Victoria over this last decade - the decade of the destruction of BC's public services and social safety net.
Let's review the damage directly caused by the BC Liberal government to it's citizens:
- BC has the highest child poverty rate for 6 years in a row. Their government robbed them of a decent childhood and robbed them of a better future.
- Cuts to sexual abuse counseling for children, cuts to proven Early Intensive autism Intervention services, inadequately funding for child & youth mental health services, systemic failure of the child protection system to meet it's mandate and protect children.
- BC now has the LOWEST minimum wage in Canada (highest standard of living in many communities) while our Premier and MLA's voted themselves raises and gave senior bureaucrats & Liberal appointees raises again.
- Cuts to school district funding for repairs, improving infrastructure, earthquake proofing of buildings. Imagine the scenes we've seen from China, from all over the world of the damage done from earthquakes.
- Cutting program advisers who assisted families in accessing Infant Development intervention and Special Needs daycare. See here.
- Plans to increase daily fees for long-term residetial care for our Elders fortunate enough to even make it into residential care. See here.
- Cuts to services for those seniors who try to live in the community as long as they can, sometimes to their own detriment.
- Creating and driving an epidemic of homelessness across BC and then expecting local communities to deal with a government-constructed nightmare, that only senior levels of governments can fix.
- Perverting, manipulating, corrupting and diminishing the justice and legal system of BC.
- Raid of the BC Legislature. Destroyed and missing e-mails. Manipulation of the legal process so the truth of what has been done to the people of BC can be kept behind closed doors. Perversion of the common-law system to evade giving testimony of government involvement.
- Cuts to Legal Aid.
- Disenfranchising the poor and homeless from voting.
- Destruction and reckless disregard of the environment, wild salmon as we know it, expansion of Run of River projects.
- Corporatization of BC and the billions that used to stay in BC communities and flow into our government coffers now leak like a sieve into the hands of private corporations.
- Massive breach of our privacy rights to our personal information through the privatization of government held information systems (Ie. provincial revenue) to American-owned corporations. The biggest slashing of BC's public services in our history to fund a 10 day party that will bankrupt us and future generations.
I have the sense people feel completely uncertain about what to do to deal with the recklessness and harm being imposed by this government on it's citizens. At no point in the last decade are more people aware of the mismanagement, corruption and mess we're in because of these clowns.
BC has long been viewed with skepticism, as a joke etc. But our reputation has been so diminished that I don't think we can fully comprehend the harm of that, whether that is across Canada, or amongst the international community. We have been cited again and again by the international Human Rights community for the poor conditions created by our government. We should all feel disgraced and ashamed of our poor standing nationally and internationally. The BC Liberal government did that to us.
As many of us know, the recall legislation is flawed, and the standards are very difficult to meet. The way I see it, although we only marginally still live in a democratic province, admittedly it feels much more like an oligarchy, or some awful fascist dictatorship these days, one of the things we must do is let our elected representatives, our MLAs AND MP's know how unhappy we are with the decisions of this government. This goes double for BC Liberal MLA's. They quite frankly need to be told by constituents that they will be wiped from the map in the next election. They need to know that they can't simply walk away from their record in their ridings once they return to private life. The stench and shame of standing by and doing nothing while more and more citizens of BC will follow them wherever they go. When faced by amoral, corrupt and incompetent government, citizens must now mete out the consequences to those who prosper and succeed on the backs of the rest of us.
There is more than enough blame to go around. Those who carry out the cuts and diminish public services through their "leadership" and those who were elected to represent the people, who are silent bystanders to atrocities. We cannot tolerate either group anymore. Our BC is at stake, we all need to realize that and do whatever we can to ensure our government, our nation and others know what is being done to the people of BC by the moral and fiscal failure of the BC Liberal government.

Finding homes to rent are pretty easy. And, of course, there is a huge selection of rent to own homes to buy right now. However, finding homes that are rent to own can be very difficult. We've gotten more questions about rent to own homes in the past 5 months than we have in the 5 years before that. These are also sometimes called lease to purchase homes or lease with the option to purchase. All of these names can be used interchangeably, since they are referring to the same kind of basic set up.
In rent to own situations, the sellers are willing to lease the home for a certain amount of time. When that rental time is up, the renter has the option to buy the home. Usually the money spent on rent during that time is deducted from the purchase price of the home – a price which is usually negotiated when the rental time is up and market statistics are as up to date as possible. But, if you're interested in a lease to purchase, know that all of these factors are flexible and depend on the situation. For example, in some cases the purchase price is negotiated well before the renter moves in. So, no two cases will be exactly alike.
A lot of buyers look for rent to own homes in order to have time to get their credit in order. Or, sometimes buyers find a home that they really like, but they're simply not ready to buy yet. So, renting with the option to purchase gives buyers a lot of flexibility and ensures that they will get the home they want if they decide to purchase it. It's similar to test driving a car. But instead of trying it for a couple of days, you actually get to move your stuff in and stay for as many months as you can negotiate. There are a lot of benefits for buyers in a rent to own situation.
For sellers, rent to owns can become sticky situations. Because the renter/buyer has so much flexibility, the seller loses a lot of control in the process. After all, there is no guarantee that the renter will buy the home after the specified time frame. So, a seller may have taken his home off the market for nothing and may have lost other potential buyers (who are actually willing and able to buy real estate) in the mean time. Depending on how the contract is written, the seller gets to keep all of the money from the rental period regardless of whether the renter buys. Some sellers are willing to risk taking their home off the market for the chance of the sale, and they may view the money earned as income they would not have gotten if the home had sat vacant instead. Sellers who are desperate and willing to try anything may want to consider listing their home as a rent to own – since some interest (even if it's not serious interest) is better than no interest at all.
For buyers and sellers, finding a real estate agent who is willing to work with rent to own homes can be difficult. So, if you're considering a rent to own situation, be sure to tell your agent upfront. If he or she is not able to work with you, find another agent who has experience with these transactions. Since there are a lot of factors to take into consideration with rent to own properties.

India's domestic passenger traffic growth slows in March: IATA
India's domestic passenger traffic growth slowed in March to 14.6 per cent from 17 per cent reported in February, a global airline association said on Thursday.
According to the data furnished by the International Air Transport Association (IATA), the acceleration in India's passenger traffic growth was the slowest since September 2015.
"This is the first possible sign of reduced cash supply and wider economic uncertainty weighing on demand," IATA said in its passenger traffic analysis for March 2017.
"That said, some context is needed: March was the 31st consecutive month in with domestic passenger volumes grew at a double-digit annual pace. Moreover, airlines are now scheduling a nine per cent increase in domestic routes in 2017."
Subsequently, India's domestic revenue passenger kilometres (RPK) growth rate came down to the third position among major aviation markets like Australia, Brazil, China, Japan, Russia and the US.
India had topped the domestic charts for the highest growth rates for 23 months in a row.
The IATA data showed that India's domestic RPK, which measures actual passenger traffic, rose by 14.6 per cent in March compared to the corresponding month of the previous year.
The growth in India's domestic passenger traffic was preceded by that of China at 15.1 per cent and Russia at 14.8 per cent. It was followed by Japan at 7.8 per cent, Brazil at 5.9 per cent, US at 3.4 per cent and Australia at 0.9 per cent.
India's domestic ASK, which measures available passenger capacity, edged higher by 13.5 per cent in March, preceded by only Russia at 18 per cent.
In addition, the association reported that global RPK rose 6.8 per cent during the month under review compared to the March 2016.
The association added that the global ASK edged up by 6.1 per cent.
"Strong traffic demand continued throughout the first quarter, supported by a combination of lower fares and a broad-based upturn in global economic conditions," said Alexandre de Juniac, Director General and Chief Executive Officer, IATA.
"The price of air travel has fallen by around 10 per cent in real terms over the past year and that has contributed to record load factors."

The plugin provides a shortcode and a template tag to embed the latest video or current live stream of one or more YouTube channels.
It comes with an options page to let you set the default options for YouTube ID(s), width, height, autoplay and count of latest videos to embed. You can customize these parameters with the shortcode and template tag if needed.
This also works great with YouTube Live, by following this fallback progression.
- If you're currently live, display the live video.
- If you're not currently live, display the next upcoming live event.
- If there is no upcoming live event, display the text from Settings > Ixiter Show Latest YT > Show message if not broadcasting.
- If there is no "not broadcasting" message, show the most recent YouTube video(s) from your channel(s).
This plugin is now frequently maintained by Daniel J. Lewis from The Audacity to Podcast.

- Can I use more than one YouTube channel?
Yes. You can specify a YouTube channel for each shortcode and template tag instance. But you can also combine multiple YouTube channels by typing them as a comma-separated list (for example,
