The Margaret Griffiths Award
Margaret Griffiths taught for 25 years at the McGill School of Social Work. In a second career, after her retirement, Ms Griffiths became actively involved in many organizations concerned with the health and welfare of seniors in Ottawa. These included the Good Companions Seniors Centre, the Glebe Centre, the District Health Council, and the Council on Aging of Ottawa.
It was in recognition of her outstanding contribution in the volunteer field that the Margaret Griffiths Award was established. The award is presented annually to a senior volunteer who, like Ms. Griffiths, has contributed substantially to the betterment of the quality of life of seniors in Ottawa.
The Service to Seniors Award
As part of the Council on Aging of Ottawa's 40th Anniversary in 2015, we marked the year with a new award, the Service to Seniors Award. The purpose of this award is to recognize individuals who share the Council's values of making a difference in the lives of seniors in Ottawa in a variety of ways. We are very proud of this new award and look forward to receiving many nominations from the community in years to come.
3rd Annual Service to Seniors Award
Nomination Deadline March 31, 2017, Nomination Form
2016 Recipient – Claire Caron
If you have attended and enjoyed any COA event in the last few years you can thank Claire Caron, the calm powerhouse at the centre of the volunteer contingent that does everything from registering attendees, arranging seating, preparing and setting out refreshments, as well as cleaning up and collecting evaluation forms.
Attentive to every last detail, considerate of others, quick to break into an infectious laugh, Claire found her perfect fit first as member, then Chair of the COA Education & Events Committee. During her two years
as Chair, Claire expanded her duties enormously, taking on the responsibility of providing volunteers not just for the Anglophone events, but for the Francophone events as well. She was also able to triple the number of COA volunteers.
2016 Recipient – Bill Dawson
Bill Dawson is a man on a mission, totally focused on making the world a better place for the most vulnerable in our society, people with chronic and or complex illness, making sure their voices are heard. He has faced enough daunting challenges throughout his rich and varied 93 years to fill many lifetimes. In each seemingly insurmountable challenge he sees the possibility of solutions. Now he is seeking solutions for breaking down the loneliness and isolation of the very frail and ill. "Loneliness is a very terrible thing, "he says, and "the most spectacular thing we can do is to provide communication for everyone on earth."
2015 Recipient – Dianne Breton
Dianne Breton is an active and exceptional volunteer, committed to improving the quality of life for seniors in our community. She is a remarkable team leader, and a dedicated and responsible person.
Her unfailing attention to detail and commitment to finishing a task have benefitted and inspired everyone who has come in contact with her over the years.
Since joining the COA Board in 2002 Dianne has held numerous positions including Vice-President, Secretary, and Chair of the Members.com Committee (now the Education and Events Committee). She has also been involved on the hiring and nominating committees for staff and Board.
2015 Recipient – Eleanor Ryan
Eleanor is a most worthy recipient of this First Annual Service to Seniors Award, based on both the devoted personal care she has provided to many individual seniors as well as the significant work that she has carried out on behalf of seniors throughout Ottawa, through her work with the Champlain Region Family Councils Network, the Family Councils of the Glebe Centre and the Garry J Armstrong Home as well as leadership or membership on various committees and organizations addressing seniors' issues.

Redesigning SGS' Seven-Level Navigation System: A Case Study
- By Marko Dugonjić
- September 6th, 2016
- 31 Comments
SGS (formerly Société Générale de Surveillance) is a global service organization and provider of inspection, verification, testing and certification services across 14 industries. SGS' website (along with 60 localized websites) primarily promotes the organization's core services, as well as provides access to a multitude of useful services, supplementary content and tools. Our goal was to transform sgs.com from being desktop-only to being responsive.
This presented a unique set of challenges, especially around the legacy navigation system, which in areas was up to seven levels deep (divided into two parts) and which consisted of some 12,000 individual navigable items.

Barlow, CY (1983) EFFECT OF GRAIN-BOUNDARY MICROSTRUCTURE ON CAVITY NUCLEATION IN A NICKEL-BASED SUPERALLOY. In: UNSPECIFIED pp. 139-144..
Full text not available from this repository.Abstract
A study is presented of grain-boundary cavitation produced in Nimonic 80A by cold-deformation and stress-free annealing. The cavities were found to originate either from transverse cracking of carbide particles, or from decohesion of the particle-grain boundary interfaces. This decohesion could occur either during deformation, or during annealing. The cavities were invariably located at or close to the point of impingement of a matrix slip band on the grain boundary, but not all slip bands at a particular boundary were associated with cavitation. Quantitative evidence is presented showing that the mean number of dislocations associated with each slip band increases with macroscopic strain, but there is considerable variation between slip bands. This accounts for the differential ability of slip bands to result in cavity nucleation.

1 Chronicles 5English Standard Version (ESV)Descendants of Reuben5 The sons of Reuben the firstborn of Israel (for he was the firstborn, but because he defiled his father's couch, his birthright was given to the sons of Joseph the son of Israel, so that he could not be enrolled as the oldest son; 2 though Judah became strong among his brothers and a chief came from him, yet the birthright belonged to Joseph), 3 the sons of Reuben, the firstborn of Israel: Hanoch, Pallu, Hezron, and Carmi. 4 The sons of Joel: Shemaiah his son, Gog his son, Shimei his son, 5 Micah his son, Reaiah his son, Baal his son, 6 Beerah his son, whom Tiglath-pileser[a] king of Assyria carried away into exile; he was a chief of the Reubenites. 7 And his kinsmen by their clans, when the genealogy of their generations was recorded: the chief, Jeiel, and Zechariah, 8 and Bela the son of Azaz, son of Shema, son of Joel, who lived in Aroer, as far as Nebo and Baal-meon. 9 He also lived to the east as far as the entrance of the desert this side of the Euphrates, because their livestock had multiplied in the land of Gilead. 10 And in the days of Saul they waged war against the Hagrites, who fell into their hand. And they lived in their tents throughout all the region east of Gilead. Descendants of Gad11 The sons of Gad lived over against them in the land of Bashan as far as Salecah: 12 Joel the chief, Shapham the second, Janai, and Shaphat in Bashan. 13 And their kinsmen according to their fathers' houses: Michael, Meshullam, Sheba, Jorai, Jacan, Zia and Eber, seven. 14 These were the sons of Abihail the son of Huri, son of Jaroah, son of Gilead, son of Michael, son of Jeshishai, son of Jahdo, son of Buz. 15 Ahi the son of Abdiel, son of Guni, was chief in their fathers' houses, 16 and they lived in Gilead, in Bashan and in its towns, and in all the pasturelands of Sharon to their limits. 17 All of these were recorded in genealogies in the days of Jotham king of Judah, and in the days of Jeroboam king of Israel. 18 The Reubenites, the Gadites, and the half-tribe of Manasseh had valiant men who carried shield and sword, and drew the bow, expert in war, 44,760, able to go to war. 19 They waged war against the Hagrites, Jetur, Naphish, and Nodab. 20 And when they prevailed[b] over them, the Hagrites and all who were with them were given into their hands, for they cried out to God in the battle, and he granted their urgent plea because they trusted in him. 21 They carried off their livestock: 50,000 of their camels, 250,000 sheep, 2,000 donkeys, and 100,000 men alive. 22 For many fell, because the war was of God. And they lived in their place until the exile. The Half-Tribe of Manasseh23 The members of the half-tribe of Manasseh lived in the land. They were very numerous from Bashan to Baal-hermon, Senir, and Mount Hermon. 24 These were the heads of their fathers' houses: Epher,[c] Ishi, Eliel, Azriel, Jeremiah, Hodaviah, and Jahdiel, mighty warriors, famous men, heads of their fathers' houses. 25 But they broke faith with the God of their fathers, and whored after the gods of the peoples of the land, whom God had destroyed before them. 26 So the God of Israel stirred up the spirit of Pul king of Assyria, the spirit of Tiglath-pileser king of Assyria, and he took them into exile, namely, the Reubenites, the Gadites, and the half-tribe of Manasseh, and brought them to Halah, Habor, Hara, and the river Gozan, to this day.

VODOHOD at THE 8TH CRUISE EXHIBITION in Belgium
January 22 2017 the district of Groot-Bijgaarden situated on the Ring of Brussels, Belgium turned into the big tourist center attracting guests from all over the country. It was there in Gosset Hotel & Business Center that THE 8TH CRUISE EXHIBITION took place.
Held for the eighth time by ALL WAYS company it gathered ALL WAYS partners from all over Europe: France, Italy, Spain, The Netherlands, Austria and other.As a long-term partner, VODOHOD took a chance to participate in this fair as well. The Eighth Cruise Exhibition brought VODOHOD representatives a splendid opportunity to meet the potential clients in person and supply them with the information regarding the accommodation and services provided on board of our motorships. Besides, all the visitors of the exhibition could see a great video representing the cruise on board VODOHOD 4 star ship MS "L.Tolstoy" that couldn't but leave a long lasting impression and gives to the guests the desire to go on a cruise and personally discover Russian landscapes and get to know Russian culture.
Sharing experiences of Vodohod and Alsace Croisieres
December is considered to be a part of the winter pre-navigation period, but this doesn't mean that one shouldn't go for a special training cruise. It was effected for several representatives of Vodohod upon the itinerary Strasbourg – Breisach – Colmar – Wine route of Alsace – Black Forest – Strasbourg on the motorship "Gerard Schmitter" of the Alsace Croisieres fleet.
The cruise was effected since the 30th of November until the 3rd of December with the visits to Christmas fairs in Colmar and Freiburg, workshop of cuckoo clock in Black Forest and the glass blowing shop in Wolfach.
But the most top-priority aim was to study the service provided on the European cruises. Our colleagues properly examined the cabins' and restaurants' service having in mind how it could be implemented on the Vodohod ships in future as well as the review of the onboard entertainments was made. Besides that a special attention was paid to the decorative and interior design of the boat. It is known that that the touristic business is one of the crucial spheres of the experience economy and thus it is necessary to create the positive impression on each guest by the flawless operation of all the services onboard.
But what is more important is that our colleagues have got a unique chance to become a traveler on one of the European cruises and feel what it is like to be a guest on a river cruise in a foreign country. This practice is quite wide-spread among different international companies due to the effective result created by the effect of a "guest" when a travel specialists experience river boat service and can conclude what can be borrowed and what is better to avoid in future.
We also would like to thank cordially our loyal and trustworthy partner Alsace Croisieres for this opportunity for our colleagues could gain some more experience in tourist service and have a wonderful time in Europe!

Can you save Community Town from the profane assault of the dastardly F-Bomber? You must use the Ultra Profanity Shooter to take down the profane bombs, otherwise Community Town will have a VERY bad day!!!
Rated 2.5 / 5 stars
funny sends a good and bad message because it says the words out loud but who the he- *gets slapped* ow i was going to say who the 'hec' cares
... anyways -_ - aw what the hell lets spam profanity shit fuck hell balls actually balls isn't a cuss word... *akward*
Rated 2.5 / 5 stars
A fun shooter, but a rather slow difficulty climb. It is too easy to get into the high high levels. Also the voices at times seemed uneccessary and annoying.
Thanks for the input. The idea is for players to be able to get through the game without too much challenge in just a few minutes, but to have the leaderboard and collecting both badges as an additional challenge.
Could you please give more input on the voices? They are there to indicate when a profanity is hit, and when a word that isn't profane was hit. There are also visual indicators to show what happens when a bomb is hit or missed, so the player can play with sound effects muted and have no loss or degradation of play (beyond not hearing the silly profanities).

Legendary Description
The player takes on the role of Charles Deckard, a professional art thief. He has been commissioned by a mysterious man named LeFey to get into the museum and steal the box but instead of stealing it once he is in front of it, he makes the biggest mistake in his life and opens it unleashing horros upon the world which were believed to be only myths. Now Deckard is hunted by a mysterious entity named "The Black Order" and simultaneously has to undo the disaster he created. Legendary is a straight forward first-person-shooter. During the course of the game Deckcard finds everything from an axe to molotov cocktails and an advanced assault rifle to fight against the ancient horror and special units of the Black Order. When he opened the box he also gained the ability to see and use the life energy called Animus Vitae. Dropped by the mythical monsters after their death, it not only heals Deckard but can also be used to unleash an energy wave called Animus Pulse which blasts nearby enemies to the ground.

Sci fi/Fantasy image by
Emilie ArnoldThis is a close up (detail-like) shot of the pastel and colored pencil drawing I did of Nyla, Aedammair's mother. The whole drawing was a bit of an experiment because the original sketch was done in green and brown colored pencils--unusually light. I was really really close to uploading the full picture because her dress makes a really neat frilly translucent mermaid tail-like ruffle, but the image is quite tall and that reduced all of the detail of her sly, seductive face. (I'm much more proud of that face.) If you're interested, the full picture can be found here. (Click if you like. I think I did a decent job on her hands and the kinna velvety texture of her dress.) There's no date on the drawing--it should say 03/24/03. Mechanical pencil, colored pencil, and pastels on typing paper.

"The Divine Feminine and Masculine are equal and in unison they will both rise together to become their fullest expressions, awakening to honor themselves as well as each other and the aspects of the other in the self. The only way to free the world from the patriarchal bondage of the past is in twin thrones." ~Ara
People speak often about the separation and alienation between the male and female energies, both internally within and externally in physical form.
The struggle and argument for which is superior, which needs to rise, and which needs to fall in order for us to move away from the patriarchal ways of the past seems to be open to much debate.
Why does any one energy need to be superior?
Where would we be without each other?
Is it not twin energies or snakes coiling from the earth up through our bodies? Goddess & God? Yin & Yang?
In truth, we both need to rise, male and female embodied humans as well as within ourselves.
The male essence needs to come into harmony with all that it has lost in the patriarchal rule and rise just as the female is embracing and awakening after too long being forcefully slumbered.
With patriarchy running rampant in its destruction for so long, one would think the male energy has the upper hand, but this isn't true.
That destructive place of stepping on others and ruling with an iron fist is not male energy in a place of power, but a place of powerlessness.
That isn't a trait of the empowered masculine.
This is not just a time for the feminine rising.
Feminine energy by definition is inclusive, not secluded or isolated in nature. It wants to bring together, to create, to expand. To nourish, to nurture, to grow and to transform.
As the feminine has been reclaiming what has once been lost, this opens the stage for the masculine as well to take back their sacred authentic selves.
Now in this new era that is unfolding around us and within us, its about the energies rising together; Divine Feminine and Masculine moving forward in unity and setting the stage for all the unlimited, endless possibilities that exists past the outdated paradigms of the old ways.
It is only when we truly embrace our divine truths from a place of love and acceptance, growth and harmony that we all rise, and rise in tandem, each in our truths and dharma.
There is more than enough room for all of us to awaken and grow into the truth of of our beings, feminine and masculine, side by side.
Long live the Queen and her King; long may you reign unified in light and love
~ The Time of the Priestess Has Come ~
Are you ready to step into your truth and embrace your medicine? To reclaim your sacred self? To walk your path with purpose and passion? To release the stories of the past and rise?

Lack of exercise and fast food has led to high levels of diabetes
Qatar, which has the highest per capita wealth in the world, is also the obesity capital of the world, with over half the population overweight, according to a report in the UK.
The energy-rich Gulf State, which was ranked by Forbes this year as the world's wealthiest country, has seen an increase in obesity related health problems, according to a report in the UK's Daily Mail.
Half of all adults in the state are classed as obese and 17 percent are suffering from diabetes, making it the most overweight country in the world, the report said.
By way of comparison, a third of Americans are classed as obese and eight percent suffer from diabetes.
An unhealthy combination of low levels of exercise and a growing popularity of fast food outlets has led to concern among local health activists.
"It's a very, very serious problem facing the future of Qatar," Sharoud Al-Jundi Matthis, the programme manager at the Qatar Diabetes Association, was quoted as saying.
Qataris make up just 250,000 of a population of 1.7m and the government hopes the development of sport in the country, through the hosting of the FIFA World Cup 2022 and bidding for the Olympic Games in 2020, will help boost interest in exercise and outdoor pursuits.
"Our main focus is encouraging people to be active, getting them to lead healthy lifestyles - that's our vision," Maher Safi, marketing director at the Qatar Olympic Committee, said in the report.
"In the past few years, the committee has launched public programmes administering free body-mass indexes and sugar level tests, disseminated material about healthy eating, and introduced initiatives to schools to help children learn about new sports, like handball, tennis, and bicycling," he added.
The issue of diabetes is a growing problem in the region, with the number of people suffering from the disease in MENA expected to double in less than 20 years, the International Diabetes Federation (IDF) said in November.
Data from its global study indicates that the number of people living with diabetes is expected to rise from 366m in 2011 to 552m by 2030.
In the region, 32.6m or 9.1 percent of the population now have diabetes, the IDF said.
It added that this number is expected to double, with estimates suggesting that there are as many as 19.2m people undiagnosed.
The new regional figures also show that the prevalence of type 2 diabetes in the region for younger age groups is substantially higher than the global average.
The IDF said that by 2030, 11 percent of MENA, 59.7m people, will be living with diabetes.
It added that six out of the world's top ten countries with the highest prevalence of diabetes are in the region.
Dr Amir-Kamran Nikousokhan Tayar, MENA chair at IDF, said: "It is now more vital than ever that we adopt a multi-sectoral approach to tackling diabetes.
"We need to encourage governments in our countries to take a 'Health in All Policies' approach and encourage people, in particular parents, to educate themselves on the risks associated with diabetes and to know the signs."

Posted by: Lambdavi Wednesday, 23 May 2012 4:13 PM[UAE] - ItalyI am Italian but my wife is a Christian arab, so I can say I know and enjoy the best of both worlds.
In the old days people were not necessarily "fit", but there was a remarkable tendency to be "lean"- most home did not have heating, few copuld boast an elevator/lift, most people had to walk to work (or used public transport) I personally walked quite a few Km/day to go to school and back.
Nowadays everybody will take the elevator/lift even ofr just one floor, will drive to go shopping even if you waste more time looking for a place to park than you would by walking there, everybody stuffs their faces with unnecessary sugars and fats in all forms and sizes...
When people eat in a balanced way, even the mildest exercise is sufficient; however, I do not see "Quatari girls doing athletics" in the future, just like I do not see it happening in any other place in the Arabic world, for cultural reasons.
A girl from a "proper" family will lead a quiet and dignified life until she is wed.
Posted by: Eduardo Kawak Tuesday, 17 April 2012 4:39 PM[UAE] - QatarThis article fails to mention that the statistics the Daily Mail report cites relate to the Qatari population only, not the entire population of Qatar which includes over 1.5 million expats.
I see the Qatari health issues as being an unwelcome side effect of the country sharing its immense wealth with its people only two generations out of relative poverty, who now have everything served to them on a platter.
The Labour Law that excludes housemaids, drivers and labourers, and the mandatory business model of 51% Qatari ownership for any business in the country regardless of the contribution of the Qatari owner to the running of the business, also seem designed to make life as easy as possible for Qataris.
The above contribute to the potential lack of necessity for Qataris to even get out of bed in the morning.
The small mercy is that 50% of Qataris are not obese. Education and responsible parenting would help, but the govt. could also look at how much it favours the locals.
Posted by: His Excellency Dr Paul Tuesday, 17 April 2012 11:52 AM[UAE] - Dubai, UAEDiet is only part of the problem; the biggest issues that need to be tackled are lack of exercise, lack of self-respect and lack of willpower.
Nobody should look in the mirror if obese and be happy to accept that. It is 100% under your own control, it all goes in through that little hole under your nose. You just need to want to do something about it, and have the mental strength to carry it through.
If you give kids everything they want, without having to work for it, they're going to grow up fat. Kids need to learn willpower just like they need to learn to read and write.
Posted by: Thamir Ghaslan Sunday, 15 April 2012 9:15 PM[UAE] - Saudi ArabiaCut your carbs for maximum effect!
I've cut rice and bread from my daily diet and dropped 5 kilos, from 80 to 75, in two weeks. Used to be chicken and rice and now chicken only.
People wonder about obesity and diabetic, over consumption of rice is the problem.
I look at "low fat" and "low calories" in a different light now, people over consume carbs and sugars here.Posted by: Mick Monday, 16 April 2012 3:39 PM[UAE] - uaeIt's not just diet. Anyone that is fit will tell you that they don't sit on their bum all day eating granola and tofu. They usually eat burgers and fish and chips and drink beer etc but they burn it all off. It's exercise that is the key. The body's metabolism must be built up at an early age or it will be slow for the life of the person. Sometimes you have the right genes but local kids need to get out. I actually saw a 5 year old kid in a stroller the other day in MoE pushed by a nanny. I couldnt believe it. Have a good diet but stop being seated 50% of the day. Australian scientiests did a report that stated that if a person sits for morethan 11 hours a day there is a 50% or more chance they will die within 3 years if maintaining this lifestyle.

For no apparent reason I had my laptop running 8.10 freeze completely. I waited for awhile then manually shut it down. When I tried to turn it on again, I found that nothing would show up on the screen at all.
The screen was entirely black but after a few tries, it began to flicker. Eventually I was looking at a very low quality image of the normal start up screen except it would flicker on for a less than a second then flicker off again for more than a second.
I eventually saw a dialogue telling me that there was a graphics profile issue but I really could not do much about it.
I am a college student and my laptop contains all the work for my classes. Figuring out this problem quickly is essential.
