How to Hunt Whitetail Deer in the Big Woods
Still-hunting and tracking deer in the deep timber is a challenge. That's why filling your tag is so rewarding
Prowling around the big woods is deer hunting as our forefathers knew it. From the rugged mountains of New York's Adirondack Park to the sprawling bottomland of Louisiana's Atchafalaya Basin, there are still plenty of opportunities to hunt deer in deep timber.
The big woods, however, are not for everyone. It's tough country to hunt. The landscape is often measured in hundreds of thousands of acres. Good roads are few and far between, and getting in and out can mean long hikes. If that were not enough, large swaths of unbroken forest support some of the lowest deer densities in the whitetail's range, particularly in the North.
But therein lies a great part of the charm. Even in areas with unrestricted public access, hunter pressure is low. And the farther in one goes, the lower it gets, meaning that more bucks are able to survive to trophy age. In northern Maine, one out of every three bucks is 4½-years-old or older—deer that have had the chance to grow heavy antlers and body weights in excess of 200 pounds.
How to Find Big-Woods Deer
The biggest challenge is simply finding deer. At the extreme, the big woods support deer densities as low as two per square mile. Yet that is not to say that the numbers are uniformly low. The trick is to locate the areas that support higher densities than others.
In the North, wintering areas hold the key. Mature stands of low-elevation softwoods shelter deer from bitter winds and snow and are essential to their survival. In Michigan's Upper Peninsula, the north shore, which has relatively poor winter cover, supports an average of only five deer per square mile. But in the central and southern U.P., where large cedar swamps provide ideal cold-weather habitat, densities often exceed 25 per square mile. The same pattern is true in Maine: Within a 5- to 10-mile radius of a major "deer yard," the densities surpass those in areas that lack winter cover but are otherwise similar.
In the South, locally abundant food sources concentrate deer. National forests in the middle and southern Appalachians with ridges dominated by acorn-bearing oaks support populations rivaling the best farm country.
How to Hunt Big-Woods Deer
Big-woods deer have larger home ranges and are harder to pattern than deer in areas with limited forest cover, but they still have predictable traits. They favor edges created by two different cover types, such as where a hardwood ridge grades to a softwood swamp. They use stream bottoms, saddles, and long, sloping shelves as travel corridors. Big bucks in particular follow the path of least resistance.
Doe and fawn groups have smaller home ranges than bucks in this type of country. Veteran big-woods hunters start by looking for pockets of does, which favor areas with thick cover and a nearby food source, be it a beech or oak ridge, an alder stream bottom with grassy swales, or a regenerating clear-cut with lush forbs and tender browse. Find the does, and the bucks will eventually follow.
When one hunts here is as important as where one hunts. The rut is prime time to be in the deep woods. Because does are also fewer and farther between, bucks are almost constantly on the move during the rut, even at midday. Every year, many of them are taken by hunters between 10 a.m. and 2 p.m. In the North, hunting after the first snowfall is also critical. Snow makes it easier to spot deer and locate travel routes and doe activity centers, and it is essential for tracking down a North Woods bruiser.
Woodsmanship is the final ingredient to filling your tag in this terrain. Most big-woods bucks are taken by still-hunters or trackers far from the nearest road. It doesn't take someone with the skills of Davy Crockett, but the more comfortable you are hunting off the beaten path, the more focused you'll be, and the farther into the trees you'll go.
Pairing with a buddy can also make such a hunt safer and more productive. Two can still-hunt side-by-side, sending bumped deer past each other, or one hunter can take up a track while the other follows along his flank and looks for the deer that made it. If nothing else, an extra set of legs is invaluable when a big buck is shot deep in the forest. Dragging an old mossyhorn out of the big woods is hard work, but it just may be the pinnacle of deer hunting.

The U.S. Securities and Exchange Commission has pressed charges against Dragonchain for allegedly raising over $16 million in an offering of unregistered "crypto asset" securities — a huge sign the regulator is widening its crusade against the cryptocurrency space.
SEC Files Suit Against Dragonchain
The SEC has hit Dragonchain with legal action.
The securities watchdog on Tuesday filed a complaint against Dragonchain founder and CEO John Joseph Roets for failing to register $16.5 million in crypto asset securities offering. The SEC is also suing three business entities associated with Roers and Dragonchain: Dragonchain Foundation, Dragonchain Inc., and The Dragon Company.
The complaint, filed in the U.S. District Court for the Western District of Washington, alleges that the defendants netted $14 million from the sale of Dragon tokens (DRGN) in an initial coin offering (ICO) marketed to around 5,000 investors across the globe in 2017.
An ICO is a funding model used by blockchain startups to raise capital swiftly. The company invites investors to purchase its newly-created token or currency through a discounted presale before it is released to the public.
Twisting the knife, the SEC also claims that all three entities and the founder sold an additional $2.5 million worth of DRGNs to cover business expenditures and market Dragonchain technology in the period between 2019 and 2022.
Dragonchain was developed by the Walt Disney Company in 2014. The protocol became open source and was released to the public in 2016. Dragonchain, which touts itself as a hybrid blockchain system for "solving business problems at an enterprise scale", has not been in mainstream cryptocurrency news much amid other budding projects.
The SEC is seeking permanent injunctions, civil monetary penalties, and disgorgement of the proceeds.
Roets Says He Has A 'Very Strong Case" Against SEC Charges
The Dragonchain chief architect is publicly calling out questionable behaviour by the SEC.
Roets, who had previously been informed by the SEC of the probe, addressed the charges preemptively in a letter from May posted on Tuesday.
He promised to provide a precise argument to prove that the U.S. top financial cop should not file charges against the named defendants for violation of securities laws.
"The SEC is picking and choosing projects to target, often singling out the ones with the biggest opportunity to disrupt incumbent interests, while giving a free pass to others," Roets asserted. "The commission is trying to shoehorn software technology into incompatible securities law from the 1930s. This calls into question whether the Commission understands the technology enough to effectively regulate it."
Roets believes he has a "very strong case". Whether Seattle-based Dragonchain decides to mount a ferocious legal defence against the SEC (like Ripple) rather than settling remains to be seen.
The SEC has for years failed to guide the security status of many cryptocurrencies while continually arguing that crypto assets should be brought under the purview of securities regulations. The agency has instead opted for a "regulation by enforcement" approach that has drawn the ire of many crypto enthusiasts.
Last month, the SEC proclaimed that nine of the cryptocurrencies listed by Coinbase were indeed securities. The agency is also looking into whether the crypto exchange lets Americans trade such tokens that should have been registered as securities.

Our Work
How we work
We use a combination of mentoring and rugby as a gateway to engage some of the most difficult young people in prison and in the community who are vulnerable to crime; many with gang membership warnings or violent convictions. Rugby provides the gateway for more substantial trauma-informed support and mentoring to young people in both prisons and the community. The 3Pillars approach offers long-term support to participants, with the aim of enabling individuals to make a positive contribution to society.
What are the 3Pillars?
The Rugby Academy
Our in-custody programme is underpinned by foundations of teamwork, physicality, and leadership. Over an 8-week programme, we engage, develop, and establish long-term support and mentoring relationships to develop in young people the tools necessary to thrive.
Our programme takes a group of 15 young people aged 14- 25 over an 8 week intervention and teaches them to play rugby. We develop teamwork, communication, and self-control, whilst being paired with workshops that address areas such as: regulation of emotion, family, relationships, and goal setting. Participants also complete a coaching qualification where-in they learn to present in front of others.
The Fitness Academy
The Fitness Academy is an influential post-release mentoring approach that engages young prison leavers through a comprehensive sports-based employability model. The model engages a diverse range of individuals through physical activity, qualification attainment, and personal development opportunities, which lead to sustainable employment within the community and beyond. The pathway addresses factors related to offending behaviour and supporting a successful and sustainable transition back into society.
3Pillars Fitness employs apprentices and coaches who are on our post-release pathway, supporting former prisoners to gain the skills and qualifications to ultimately secure sustainable employment and reduce one of the root causes behind re-offending. It is also an opportunity to build the core 'soft' business skills alongside work experience and qualifications that greatly improve job prospects.
The Leadership Academy
The Leadership Academy takes committed individuals into the next phase of their development by supporting them to become leaders in their own right. This includes being part of the 3PP Development Advisory Board which feeds into the strategic direction of the charity, and gives them the opportunity to help design and amend current and future projects. Often, those in the Leadership Academy are well on their way to being a success, we then exist to be an independent sounding board, provide counsel and ongoing support to ensure they achieve their long-term ambitions.

Everything Visceral about Fat
Visceral fat or belly fat is harmful! This type of fat leads to major health complications that even include heart disease and diabetes. Most people tend to look thin on the outside, but have excess belly fat; this too puts them in higher risk of health issues if precautions are not taken on time.
Cardio :
Any aerobic exercise done regularly or at least three times a week is an effective way to burn calories and improve health. It is also one of the best ways to reduce abdominal fat. Incorporate a couple of low to high-intensity exercises in your cardio routine to cut down that flab.
Avoid Sweetened Beverages :
Sugar-sweetened beverages that are usually loaded with liquid fructose can quickly increase your belly fat and love handles (Check nutritional label before buying). These beverages are worse than high-sugar foods so it's best to choose wise and swap your drinks with clear-teas, green-tea, fresh coconut water, fruits-infused water, etc. Also, avoid alcohol socially, once a while is still okay!
Avoid Trans Fat :
Stop consuming foods that contain trans-fat. They are usually found in margarine and bottled-spreads, especially most packaged foods. These fats cause inflammation, insulin resistance, heart disease, heartburn, abdominal fat gain, and a lot more complications. Take your time and pick every item in the grocery store by checking the 'nutritional facts' label carefully and move away from items that contain trans-fat, which are often mentioned as 'partially hydrogenated' fats.
High Protein Diet :
Protein plays an important role in building muscle, reducing excess fat, and weight control/management. High protein intake decreases sugar cravings and appetite, and helps you feeling full. It raises your metabolism and helps retain muscle during your overall weight loss. However, if you have kidney complications of diabetes, consult your diabetes doctor on the amount of protein you can consume.
Use Apple Cider Vinegar :
Apple Cider Vinegar has so many health benefits including weight loss, fat reduction, and lowering of blood sugar levels. Acetic acid compound present in apple cider vinegar is proven to reduce belly fat. Drink a glass of lukewarm water with 1 or 2 tablespoons of apple cider vinegar every morning or before bed. You can also dilute 1 tablespoon of apple cider vinegar in cold water and have it 30 minutes before each meal, through the day. Make use of apple cider vinegar in your weight loss routine as per your convenience.
Apart from all these steps, it's necessary to bring an active change in your lifestyle. Stress plays another factor in ruining your health and is also linked to increasing belly-fat and obesity. Take probiotic supplements and foods as they have good bacteria that improve your gut health and immunity. Also make sure to track your food intake and workout every day and have a restful sleep every night!

A contraceptive implant is a small, flexible rod that's placed just under the skin of your upper arm.
It releases a progestogen hormone similar to the natural progesterone produced by the ovaries.
It works for 3 years.
Effectiveness: Over 99% effective at preventing pregnancy - one of the most effective methods there is.
Fit and forget: Once you've got one, you don't need to remember to take or use contraception for 3 years.
Periods: May be irregular, stop or last longer. May help with heavy, painful periods.
STI protection: No. Use external condoms or internal condoms to help protect yourself from STIs.
Hormones: Yes. The implant releases the hormone progestogen.
If 100 sexually active women don't use any contraception, 80 to 90 will get pregnant in a year.
The implant is the most effective method of contraception. It's well over 99% effective. Fewer than 1 in 100 implant users will get pregnant in the first year of use.
The implant is a method of long-acting reversible contraception (LARC). LARC is very effective because it doesn't depend on you remembering to take or use it.
Can anything make an implant less effective?
Some medicines may make an implant less effective. These include some of the medicines used to treat HIV, epilepsy and tuberculosis (TB), and the complementary medicine St John's Wort. These are called enzyme-inducing drugs. If you take these medicines, it'll be recommended that you use additional contraception, such as condoms, or that you change to a different method of contraception.
Always tell your healthcare professional that you're using an implant if you're prescribed any medicines.
The implant isn't affected by common antibiotics, diarrhoea or vomiting.
It's important to have your implant changed at the right time. If it isn't, you won't be protected from pregnancy. If you have sex without using another method of contraception and don't want to get pregnant, you may need to consider using emergency contraception.
The implant is suitable for most people. The healthcare professional fitting your implant will need to ask you about your own and your family's medical history to make sure the implant's suitable for you. You should tell them about any illnesses or operations you've had.
An implant may not be suitable for you if:
- you think you might already be pregnant
- you don't want your periods to change
- you take certain medicines.
It may not be suitable if you have, or had in the past:
- breast cancer
- unexplained vaginal bleeding (for example, bleeding between periods or after sex)
- heart disease or stroke
- serious liver disease
How long can I use the implant for?
Each implant lasts for 3 years and will then need to be replaced.
If you have no medical problems, you can use the implant until menopause when contraception is no longer needed.
- It works for 3 years.
- It may reduce heavy, painful periods.
- You can use it if you're breastfeeding.
- Your fertility will return to normal as soon as the implant is taken out.
- It may improve acne for some people.
- Your periods may change in a way that isn't acceptable to you (see Periods and fertility).
- You may get side effects like headaches, breast tenderness and mood changes.
- You may get acne or your acne may get worse.
- It won't work if you use enzyme-inducing drugs (see Effectiveness).
- It requires a small procedure to insert and remove it.
- An implant doesn't protect you from sexually transmitted infections, so you may need to use condoms as well.
Very rarely, you may get an infection in your arm where the implant's been inserted.
Rarely, the implant may be inserted too deeply into your arm. It can be removed by an experienced healthcare professional.
Very rarely, the implant may be inserted into a blood vessel and may move to a different area of the body. If this happens, an operation is needed to remove it.
If you can't feel the implant in your arm, ask a healthcare professional to check it for you.
Research on the risk of breast cancer and hormonal contraception is complicated and hasn't given definitive answers. Available research suggests that using the implant doesn't appear to increase the risk of breast cancer.
The main way it works is to stop your ovaries releasing an egg each month (ovulation). It also:
- thickens the mucus from your cervix (entrance to the womb), making it difficult for sperm to move through it and reach an egg
- makes the lining of your uterus (womb) thinner to stop a fertilised egg implanting.
How will an implant affect my periods?
Your bleeding will probably change. It's common for it to be unpredictable and it may change at any time over the 3 years the implant lasts.
- Most implant users will have irregular and unpredictable bleeding.
- Sometimes bleeding stops completely.
- A few implant users will have bleeding that's more frequent or lasts longer.
These changes may be a nuisance but they're not harmful.
If you have bleeding that's a problem for you in the first few months after starting the implant, there's about a 1 in 2 (50%) chance that this will improve over time.
If you have bleeding that's a problem for you at any time, talk to your healthcare professional. They may be able to give you some additional hormone or medicine that can help control the bleeding. They may also check that the bleeding isn't due to other causes, such as an infection.
What if I want to stop using the implant or try to get pregnant?
If you want to stop using the implant, a healthcare professional can remove it.
Your periods and fertility will return to normal and it's possible to get pregnant before you have your first period after stopping the implant.
If you don't want to get pregnant, use another method of contraception from the day your implant is removed.
If you want to try for a baby, start pre-pregnancy care such as taking folic acid and stopping smoking. Ask your healthcare professional for further advice.
What if I think that I'm pregnant?
The implant's a highly effective method of contraception. If you haven't taken any medicine that might make the implant less effective and you've had it changed on time, it's very unlikely that you'll get pregnant.
If you think you might be pregnant, do a pregnancy test or speak to your healthcare professional as soon as possible. Using the implant won't affect a pregnancy test.
If you do get pregnant while you're using the implant, there's no evidence it'll harm the baby. The implant should be removed if you want to continue with the pregnancy.
I've just had a baby. Can I use an implant?
The implant can be inserted any time after the birth.
If it's inserted on, or before, day 21 you'll be protected from pregnancy immediately. If the implant is inserted later than day 21, you'll need to avoid sex or use additional contraception, such as condoms, for 7 days.
An implant can be used safely while you're breastfeeding and won't affect your milk supply.
Can I use an implant after a miscarriage or abortion?
The implant can be inserted immediately after a miscarriage or abortion.
If it's inserted on, or before, day 5 you'll be protected from pregnancy immediately. If the implant's inserted later than day 5, you'll need to avoid sex or use additional contraception, such as condoms, for 7 days.
Only a doctor, nurse or other healthcare professional trained to fit implants can insert the implant.
You can go to a contraception or sexual health clinic or to the doctor or nurse at a general practice. See How to get help with your sexual health.
Some midwives can insert an implant soon after you have a baby.
All treatment is free and confidential.
When can I start using an implant?
You can have an implant fitted at any time in your menstrual cycle if it's certain that you're not pregnant.
If the implant is put in during the first 5 days of your period, you'll be protected from pregnancy immediately.
If the implant is put in on any other day, you won't be protected from pregnancy for the first 7 days after it's been inserted. You'll need to avoid sex or use additional contraception, such as condoms, during this time.
How's an implant inserted?
The implant is the size of a matchstick. It's placed just under your skin in the side of your upper arm.
A trained healthcare professional will give you a local anaesthetic to numb the part of your arm where the implant will go, so it won't hurt.
It only takes a few minutes to insert and feels like having an injection. You won't need stitches.
After it's been inserted, the healthcare professional will check your arm to make sure the implant's in place. You'll be shown how to feel the implant with your fingers, so you can check it's in place.
The area may be tender for a day or two and may be bruised and slightly swollen. The healthcare professional will put a dressing on it to keep it clean and dry and to help reduce the bruising. Keep this dressing on for a few days and try not to knock the area.
Don't worry about knocking the implant once the area has healed. It shouldn't break or move around your arm. You'll be able to do normal activities and you won't be able to see it.
You don't need a vaginal examination or cervical screening (smear) test to have an implant inserted.
How's an implant removed?
An implant can be left in place for 3 years. It can be removed sooner if you want to stop using it.
A specially trained healthcare professional must take it out. They'll feel your arm to locate the implant. They'll give you a local anaesthetic injection in the area where the implant is. They'll make a small cut in your skin and gently pull the implant out.
They'll put a dressing on the arm to keep it clean and dry and to help reduce any bruising. Keep this dressing on for a few days.
It usually only takes a few minutes to remove an implant. If the implant's been inserted correctly, it shouldn't be difficult to remove.
Occasionally, an implant is difficult to feel under the skin and it may not be so easy to remove. If this happens, you may be referred to a specialist centre to have it removed with the help of an ultrasound scan.
If you want to carry on using an implant, you can get a new one inserted at the same time. You'll then continue to be protected from pregnancy.
If I need to have an operation, should I stop using the implant?
No. It's not necessary to stop using the implant if you're having an operation. However, it's always recommended that you mention you're using it.
How often do I need a check-up?
You only need to go to the clinic or your general practice if you have any problems with your implant or when it needs to be replaced.
If you have any problems, questions or want the implant removed, contact healthcare professional.
This website can only give you general information. Our implant information is based on evidence-guided research from the World Health Organization and The Faculty of Sexual and Reproductive Healthcare of the Royal College of Obstetricians and Gynaecologists.
All methods of contraception come with a Patient Information Leaflet which provides detailed information about the method.
Contact your doctor, practice nurse or a contraception clinic if you're worried or unsure about anything.

A Guide to Online Casinos
Online casinos have become a popular form of online gambling. They offer a variety of casino games to gamblers over the internet. These virtual or Internet casinos are essentially the same as their land-based counterparts. Whether you're new to the game or just looking to increase your gambling bankroll, you'll find a wide variety of options to choose from. Listed below are some of the most popular online casinos to visit.
The first thing to understand when visiting a casino is that the rules are not always clear and it's not always easy to navigate. The casino is a huge open space where people seem to know what to do and where to stand, but there's no obvious way to tell what's allowed or what's not. There are no signs that explain the rules, so visitors may feel like they're on their own. A good place to start is with the Monte-Carlo casino, which opened in 1863.
In the Las Vegas casinos, it is important to remember that a clock would be a fire hazard. That's why they don't have clocks. However, the bright floor coverings and wall coverings can stimulate people and make them feel better. Although there are no clocks in casinos, they don't need to be. In fact, a casino's security personnel is usually on duty all night to protect patrons, as the gambling floor is a popular destination for late-night gamblers.
Many casinos offer a variety of table games, including blackjack, roulette, craps, and baccarat. Other games may be more unique to that country, such as scratch cards and arcades. Some casinos even have their own versions of these games, such as keno or pai-gow. Regardless of which type of game you prefer, there's sure to be a casino that suits your tastes and budget. The following are some basic and more complex information about casinos in each region.
Despite the numerous benefits of casino gaming, some states have strict laws prohibiting gambling. In fact, a casino's revenue is dependent on the occupancy of a hotel, which can be detrimental to the local economy. As a result, casinos often provide free show tickets to encourage patrons to spend more money. Today, many European countries and the United Kingdom have legalized casinos. The casinos are often the only places in the world where these activities are permitted.
In the United States, most casinos don't allow photographs. Smoke and casino odors are the most common cause of illness in American casinos. These facilities are often located on public right-of-way locations and are not easily accessible to the public. Since gambling is a popular pastime, these establishments have added security to their facilities to protect their patrons. It is important to note that casinos have strict laws that govern the use of cameras.

By Benjamin Harvey
(AP) - Scholars attending a conference that addresses the mass killings of Armenians by Ottoman Turks said Sunday that, after decades of opposition, public opinion in Turkey was moving in favor of an open discussion.The Turkish media and top government officials expressed support for the two-day conference, which started Saturday. But for a second day nationalist protesters hurled eggs and rotten tomatoes at arriving speakers they accused of treason, showing deep resistance to addressing claims that Turks committed genocide.
Turkey aspires to join the European Union, and the EU said it would view the conference as a test of freedom of expression.
"I suppose more and more people are getting to realize that the old positions are untenable," said Murat Belge, a member of the committee that organized the conference. "I mean the smoke over the question, the policy of denial."
The conference faced heavy opposition from the outset and was canceled twice - including on Thursday by an Istanbul court that demanded to know the academic qualifications of the speakers - before beginning Saturday at Istanbul Bilgi University.
"Especially after that absurd court decision three days ago ... looking at the press the next day, at the magnitude of the public reaction, I knew this was going to be a success," said Halil Berktay, a historian and member of the organizing committee. "The old clichés of official, conventional, denialist ideology are dead."
Prime Minister Recep Tayyip Erdogan expressed support for the conference and criticized the court order, which organizers skirted by changing the venue. Participants at the conference - including Turks and ethnic Armenians - were mostly careful to avoid emotional language. On Saturday, historians discussed the events leading up to and following the massacres in 1915-1923, going through them year by year. On Sunday, they dealt with broader issues, including "The Armenian problem and Turkish democracy" and "Press Freedom and the Armenian problem."
Delegates to the conference had no plans to issue a declaration on whether genocide occurred, Berktay said, but were using the gathering as a forum to openly examine the historical experience of Armenians around the time of the Ottoman collapse. Many of the panelists have previously said the killings constituted genocide. A number of them have received death threats in Turkey for doing so.
Turkey vehemently denies that a genocide was carried out on Armenians as the Ottoman Empire collapsed around the time of World War I, saying that Armenians who rose in rebellion and sided with Russian invaders were killed along with Turks in intercommunal fighting. Armenians say that 1.5 million of their ancestors were killed by Ottoman Turks in a vicious policy of extermination. Turkey had never permitted the issue to be discussed in public until this conference.
"A lot of people now understand that, if a certain society says only one thing about a question, that is not a sign of strength, but the opposite," Belge said. "The atmosphere in the media has changed overnight, and that's going to influence public opinion."
Turkey is under intense pressure to improve its performance on issues of freedom of expression and human rights as it moves toward negotiations beginning October 3 for EU membership.

Hip Replacement Surgery
Relieving Pain and Restoring Function
A hip replacement, or arthroplasty, is the surgical procedure in which the diseased parts of the hip are removed and replaced with an artificial joint. The new hip joint, also called the prosthesis, is made up of two parts; One to replace the head of the femur (the ball part of the thigh bone) which fits into the acetabulum; Another which replaces the acetabulum (the socket) and is fitted into the pelvic bone.
What should you expect from your hip replacement?
Due to the advances made in recent years, the majority of patients find that after their hip replacement they experience significant pain relief and improvement in movement. This means that they find everyday functions such as sitting, walking and driving much more comfortable than before.
However, the results will not be immediate and after your stay in hospital, a full recovery can be expected to take between 3 and 6 months depending on the type of surgery you have, your overall health and how well you rehabilitate.
How long the replacement hip lasts can depend on many factors, although it is true to say that most patients will never need to have another operation. The amount of activity you undertake may have a bearing on the life of the joint, as will your weight. Overall a replacement hip might be expected to last fifteen to twenty years.
What happens during hip replacement surgery?
A hip replacement is a major surgical procedure. To begin the surgery, patients will usually be given a spinal anaesthetic (where there is no feeling from the waist down) or a general anaesthetic so that they are asleep throughout. An opportunity to discuss the merits of each type of anaesthetic with the anesthetist will be given to the patient before the operation.
During surgery, Mr. Williams will make an incision at the level of hip to remove the damaged hip and will then replace the hip joint with a prosthesis. Your hip replacement may be put in with a grout referred to as bone cement – a "cemented" procedure. Alternatively, an "uncemented" procedure is used in which the prosthesis has thousands of tiny holes that allow the bone to grow into and hold it in place. The type of hip replacement you receive will usually have been discussed with you prior to the operation. Mr. Williams only uses implants which meet the highest level of independently evaluated UK standards called ODEP 10A* implants.
It should also be noted that Mr. Williams is a strong advocate of modern enhanced recovery protocols (ERAS) which includes infiltrating the operated area with local anesthetic to improve the post operative experience.
Click here for an animation of total hip replacement.
What happens after the operation?
You will be transferred to the recovery room where you will remain until Mr. Williams and the anesthetist are satisfied that you have recovered sufficiently before you are transferred back to the ward.
Pain relief after the operation
Good pain relief is important and some people need more pain relief than others. It is much easier to relieve pain if it is dealt with before it gets bad. Pain relief can be increased, given more often, or given in different combinations. You should ask for help if you feel pain.
Physical activities after your operation
A physiotherapist will visit you regularly throughout your stay in hospital to advise and assist you with a series of exercises. These will help with breathing and circulation as well as building strength back into your leg muscles. Your range of movement will increase in the days following your surgery and you will soon be able to sit up, stand and then take a few steps. You will get out of bed and start walking either on the same day of the surgery or the next day.
You will receive injections of a drug such as Heparin which helps prevent blood clots.
What general precautions should be taken?
The hip replacement that you have had is an artificial joint. It is therefore important that you take necessary precautions to prevent complications.
Listed below are some precautions to be taken particularly in the first 6-8 weeks are. Your physiotherapist will discuss these and others with you in greater detail prior to your discharge from hospital as well as during your follow up visits post surgery.
- Contact your doctor if you notice any redness, leaking fluid or have an increased pain in the operated area
- Do not bend the hip more than a right angle as this could cause the hip to dislocate or pop out of the joint.
- Avoid low chairs and toilet seats.
- Do not bend down to the floor to pick up objects.
- Do not force the hip to bend to reach your toes such as to clip your toe nails or put on your stockings.
- Do not twist the hip.
- Do not cross your legs.
- Do not lie on your side for the first 6 weeks.
- In the longer term, there is a small risk of spread of infection to the hip should you have an infection anywhere else in the body, if you are undergoing an operation, internal examination or even dental work.
Remember to inform your doctor/dentist, if you need to undergo an operation, internal examination or even dental so that they can consider putting you on antibiotics as preventative a measure.
Possible Complications?
Hip replacement surgery is a very successful operation, but there are risks associated with any procedure, which in this case include:
- Anaesthetic – Modern anaesthetics are generally very safe. The anaesthetist will explain any particular risks to you.
- Infection – There is a small risk of infection of the joint following the operation but you will be given antibiotics to help prevent this. If after you get home you notice fever, increased pain, swelling and redness around the wound, please phone the ward at Werndale directly.
- Deep vein thrombosis (a blood clot in a leg vein) – You may have anti- coagulant medication and support stockings to help prevent it. A symptom of this may be an acute pain in your calf. Please contact us urgently.
- Dislocation – The risk of dislocation is at its highest when the muscles around the new hip joint are still healing and relatively weak. A hip that dislocates more than once may need to be operated on again so it is very much in your interests to follow the advice you are given.
Other recognised complications include fractures and nerve injuries both of which are fortunately rare.
Are there any limitations?
Patients will only be offered hip replacement surgery if the surgeon deems them well enough to cope with the operation and the rehabilitation. The recovery program involves lots of physical therapy and encourages you to exercise regularly to regain the use of the joint and surrounding muscles.
Mr. Williams will be able to answer any question you may have regarding the procedure and the rehabilitation before surgery in your consultation.
Hip replacement follow-up program
It is generally accepted that hip replacements should be kept under surveillance so that potential problems are identified at an early stage. The surgical wound will need to be reviewed by a nurse 10-14 days post operativley. A member of Mr. Williams team will also telephone you a few days after discharge to check that all is well. At 6 to 8 weeks post operativley, Mr. Williams will review your progress during a follow-up consultation.
Following this, below is a summary of when each review should take place
- X- ray and clinical assessment 1 year after surgery
- X- ray every two years after that
- Yearly questionnaire
Repeat clinical assessment at 5 years, 10 years and 15 years…..
A discussion will be had whether you would like the long term follow up to be performed at BMI Werndale or within the NHS.
Additional Information
Please talk to Mr. Williams before your operation if you have concerns about possible risks or have any outstanding questions
For additional information, it may also be worth reading the excellent NHS Guide to Hip Replacements.

Here's Pippin, a new foster who came in with several other dogs this past December. She was surrendered following an unpleasant incident with a child visitor. Naughty Pippin.
She's spending some time in a child-free home, being fostered with a Frenchie sibling in Oregon. At just about a year old, Pippin has some growing up to do, and we believe that she can learn to play nicely with others and to reinvent herself as a very good girl who is very good all the time, rather than her current incarnation as the infamous little girl "who had a little curl." If she can't bring herself to Pollyanna-tivity, perhaps we can find her a home where her beautiful wickedness will be appreciated.
This photo was taken while Pippin was just wrapping up a yawn. It's completely unfair to capture her in a vulnerable moment like this, looking not-so-sweet, but if she were a big celebrity, the paparazzi who snapped this shot would be raking in the dough! It amused us, and we thought we'd share it with you. Power does tend to corrupt, you know. The Frog Princess is not above amusing herself at the expense of others. This is an ugly truth about ourselves.
If you'd like to sponsor young Pippin while she undergoes some therapy and training, you can click on the bone on her foster roster page.

How the "cerf sanz tache" found its way into the Vulgate Cycle
- Source: Reinardus. Yearbook of the International Reynard Society, Volume 25, Issue 1, Jan 2013, p. 78 - 95
The white stag that appears in the 13th-century Vulgate Cycle of Arthurian romances is a symbolically many-faceted being, which looks back on a long series of textual antecedents. One of its most noticeable traits is its christological nature and the interpretation of its spotless white color as a sign of spiritual purity. These Christianized characteristics of the animal likely developed under the influence of various hagiographic and historiographic sources (among others), where one encounters cervids with similar or analogous attributes. The present study examines some such examples of white stags, focusing on a corpus of texts relating the founding legend of the Norman abbey of Fécamp, and aims at shedding light on the gradual Christianization of the white stag on its evolutionary path into and through the Vulgate Cycle.


text: This is a tough ride. Definately for advanced riders. Lots of climbing and descending. The trail at either end is well used and really fun. Not too much technical riding, just fun singletrack. The middle third isn't used much and isn't maintained very well. Some sections have been pretty torn up by motos. It's fun to do the whole thing once a year. The rest of the time just use the north and south ends as out and back rides or connect to other trails to make loops.

by Rev. Walter Beck
DISCLAIMER: This column is written strictly from the point of view of a music fan and archivist, the author in no way endorses the views of Charles Manson or the actions of the Manson Family.
Charles Manson is America' boogeyman; his bloody orchestration of the Tate-LaBianca murders in a bizarre scenario that he called "Helter Skelter" will live on the consciousness of America as it has come to represent the darkest side of the 1960's, an orgy of sex and drugs that spun out of control into a gruesome scene of mind-control.
But what many don't know is that Manson is also a musician; when he was released from prison in 1967, he hit LA as an aspiring folk musician, recorded several demo sessions, one studio session and even befriended Dennis Wilson of the Beach Boys (Manson's song "Cease to Exist" would be rewritten as "Never Learn Not to Love" and released on the Beach Boys' LP 20/20). After his imprisonment for the Tate-LaBianca murders, Manson has managed to keep making music from his prison cell and continues to release albums to this day.
So how does America's boogeyman fare as a musician? You know, it's surprisingly pretty good folk and blues. I was introduced to Manson's music through a friend of mine who gave me a copy of Charlie's album Lie: The Love & Terror Cult (Manson's sole professionally recorded and produced record) and I listened to it and rather enjoyed it. It's pretty typical fare of the 60's, folk music with some strange sonic elements and lyrics of love, individuality and freedom.
My first year at Vincennes University, I got deeper into Manson's catalogue, discovering records he recorded in prison such as Live at San Quentin, Commemoration and One Mind. Soon, I would start getting every record Charlie cut. It was an interesting experience, this was Manson away from the cameras, the journalists, this was Manson from his point of view, with just him and his guitar. The man is absolutely crazy, but you know, he makes pretty decent folk records.
So what records would I recommend if you want to listen to the music of America's most notorious madman?
NOTE: The audio quality of the releases vary tremendously, the studio and demo sessions recorded before the murders is amongst the highest since it was recorded in a more professional setting, while most of the prison records are muddy in sound quality.
Lie: The Love & Terror Cult (1970, Awareness Records): This is the place to start with Charlie's music. This was recorded before the murders and remains Charlie's only professionally recorded album. Many contemporary musicians have recorded cover songs from this LP including Guns N' Roses ("Look at Your Game Girl"), Marilyn Manson ("Sick City"), GG Allin ("Garbage Dump") and the Brian Jonestown Massacre ("Arkansas").
All the Way Alive (2003, People's Temple Records): This one of the demo sessions recorded in 1967 and it's one of Charlie's liveliest records in terms of feeling, he sounds about the happiest he's ever been in his life and it shows with the jumpy blues sound on this LP. Being that it's a demo session, the audio quality is also fairly good. As a bonus, Charlie closes out this record with a pretty good cover of Willie Nelson's "Night Life".
Commemoration (1995, White Devil Records): The best in terms of sound quality with the prison recordings, this LP was recorded during several sessions in the 1980's. I'm very impressed with the quality of this record since most of the prison releases sound muddy; someone must have slipped Charlie a pretty good four-track recorder. This one also has some of his best tracks including "Be Free (Be Free Now)" and "Peace in Your Heart".
One Mind (2005, Independent): One of Charlie's recent releases, recorded in prison, the audio is a bit muddy with tape hiss and conversations drifting into the background. But it's a great representation of where Manson is now as a musician. The songs are good, particularly "Angels Fear to Tread", "I Don't Need Water Sprinklers in the Desert" and "If You Have No One". And here's a bonus, this album was released under the Creative Commons license, so it can be downloaded legally: http://www.archive.org/details/Charles_Manson_-_One_Mind
There you have it, the music of one of America's most notorious psychopaths, forget what you've read, heard or seen about Charles Manson and give one of his records a spin. The music may surprise you.

The Patriots will practice for the final time on Friday before heading to Pittsburgh for their showdown with the Steelers for AFC supremacy. Bill Belichick continued his admiration of the Steelers during his press conference, explaining how he's become more and more impressed as the week has progressed.
"I'd say kind of the more I've watched the Steelers this week, the more impressed I am," Belichick said to open his Friday briefing. "The way they play, they're really well-coached, they've had so many end-of-the-game, end-of-the-half situations that they're very productive and efficient with, and Coach [Mike] Tomlin does a great job with the clock management, with the play selection – just doing the right plays in the right situations and executing them well.
"They've played well on defense, on offense and in the kicking game, made a lot of critical plays. They do a really good job in that area, and that's translated into a number of wins for them. So, along with all the other things that they do well, that's pretty impressive, too. You need to play a good 60-minute, complete football game, all three phases, to be competitive with these guys. They're good at everything."
The late-game execution has generally involved the offense coming from behind to set up Chris Boswell for potential game-winning field goals. Boswell kicked four game-winners in Pittsburgh's last five games, and has become a weapon for the Steelers.
Obviously the kicker doesn't compare to the level of production of the Steelers offensive players and Belichick discussed them all throughout the week. On Friday, Le'Veon Bell and Ben Roethlisberger once again drew praise from the Patriots coach.
Passing concern –Bell leads the league in rushing but it might be his ability as a receiver that represents the bigger challenge. Last week in Miami, the Dolphins used Kenyan Drake spilt out wide as a receiver and his damage in the passing game was equally important to the 114 yards rushing he posted.
Bell is quite comfortable in such a role and given the Patriots struggles in that area last week it wouldn't be surprising to see the Steelers trying to create similar mismatches on Sunday.
"He comes out of the backfield. He's a screen player and they use him in empty split out. He caught a 30-yard screen pass against [Cincinnati]," Belichick said of Bell's pass-catching prowess. "I mean, it's a lot of yards. It's not some big creative play that nobody's ever seen run before, but it's 30 yards on a screen pass and a lot of it was good running. He made guys miss, got into space, made a lot of yards on his own, so he's capable of doing that.
"He's capable of splitting out, catching the slant pass that he caught against Baltimore, running through a couple of tacklers there on the goal line for a touchdown, can take check downs and make big plays out of those. Any time he has the ball in his hands he's dangerous.
"Sometimes they throw it down the field to him and sometimes they give it to him on shorter passes and let him run with it, but there's a lot of space there with his deep receivers so sometimes he gets the ball on check downs, screens, plays like that, where the offense doesn't have to block seven or eight guys like they do on a running play. They just get it to him in space and let him go. He's a tough guy to handle. He's got great run skills, vision, balance. He's as good as any back we've seen all year and we've seen a few good backs."
Ben has been Big –The start of the season wasn't particularly kind to Roethlisberger. After pondering retirement in the offseason, Big Ben struggled in the early going and looked like the end was near during a five-interception performance at home against Jacksonville in October.
Since then his production has gradually increased, and last week he threw for 506 yards against the Ravens, the third time he's done so in his career. Belichick believes Roethlisberger "does everything pretty well" and talked about the Steelers quarterback's many strong attributes.
"He's made – and as a team, they've made so many plays at the most critical times in the game when they've had to make them, and that's really what it's all about," he said. "He's done that as much as anybody. All their receivers – [Antonio] Brown, Bell, [Jesse] James, [Vance] McDonald – it's not like he's throwing to just one guy. He throws to all of them. They've all made big plays."
Lee's a fit –Linebacker Eric Lee has only been a Patriot for a short time after arriving a few weeks ago from the Bills practice squad. He has provided a spark to the pass rush, however, leading to some questions about his status as an undrafted player.
Belichick explained that his position and size (6-3, 260) make projections to the next level difficult.
"Like a lot of players in college that play that position, the defensive end to outside linebacker to off-the-line linebackers, sometimes it's a little hard to figure out," he said. "When you're clearly a defensive end team, which we primarily are, then it's hard to take a linebacker and put him at end. They're related. Trying to figure out whether a guy really is a linebacker, whether he's an end, whether he's a hybrid-type of player, he could play off the ball even though he hasn't done it before that you kind of project in him to do that.
"We have a number of players that fall into that category ourselves and finding the right ones and figuring it out and, again, you only have so many spots that you can do that with. When you're a 3-4 team you go to camp with let's call it seven outside linebackers and you have two or three on your roster and then you add three or four or whatever it is so you have a little bit more opportunity with those players. Eric certainly took advantage of that. We were able to see him doing some of those things."

A 19th-century Gold Coast mansion made famous for its role in the 1980s sitcom Webster and later rented by Chicago Bulls star Dwyane Wade is back on the market with a new, lower asking price of $7.5 million.
Designed in 1883 by Chicago architect A.M.F Colton & Sons for businessman Charles K. Miller, the historic Victorian home at 1432 N. State Parkway features an ornate brick and stone facade. Inside, the home boasts an extensive interior makeover completed by its current owners, Chicago real estate developers Randy and Steven Fifield.
The eight-bedroom, seven-bathroom property retains much of its original moldings and woodwork—albeit in many cases behind a layer a white paint. The historic touches combine with the conveniences such as an open floorplan, a designer kitchen, and a basement screening room. The 9,100-square-foot property also includes a separate guest apartment above an attached coach house and a walled side-lot courtyard.
The stately Gold Coast residence initially listed for $9.5 million in early 2016 before it was taken off the market and rented to Wade for an undisclosed amount. The mansion returned in spring 2019, asking $7.9 million, and can now be yours for just under $7.5 million.

Speaking of CNC wood router, let's first briefly introduce what CNC wood router is. CNC wood router is a precision mechanical equipment mainly used to process wooden materials. It can cut, engrave, and perforate wood. Craft. The CNC wood router has now undergone more than ten years of rapid development, and it has gradually replaced woodworking saws, hand-held woodworking cutting machines and other machines. CNC wood routers have been widely used in the wood processing industry. Also you can prefer belt driven air compressors that use a belt that connects the air pump to the motor.
Most of the machine body of CNC wood router is constructed by welding steel or iron, which also provides a very stable processing platform for the machine tool. The important components of CNC wood router are motor drive system, transmission system, processing spindle, worktable, vacuum pump and so on. If your CNC wood router has an automatic tool change function, then it also has a tool magazine. If your workbench is a vacuum adsorption workbench, then you can process the material through the vacuum pump on the vacuum adsorption workbench and the partitioned processing area.
The biggest feature of CNC wood router is faster processing speed and better processing quality, which can greatly increase the processing rate of the factory and reduce labor costs. It has a very wide range of functions, for example, it can process the three sides of the wood, and it can also slot and hollow the wood.
Training before using the
CNC wood router is necessary, otherwise, do not operate it, otherwise it will be prone to failure and damage the life of the CNC CNC wood router.

Planning your wedding so you can look the best
This wedding season is predicted to be the busiest year on record and dress designers across the nation are riding the unexpected wave of weddings. They are embracing the idea that there needs to be a change when it comes to wedding dress trends! In fact, many are opting out of the old traditional-style wedding dresses and leaning towards the idea of a new, bolder style that speaks volume.
As a 2021 bride (or groom) it is essential to look your absolute best walking down the aisle. At J&J Tent and Party Rentals, we wanted to make sure that you look stunning this season, so we created a list of the Top 5 Wedding Dress Trends of 2021.
Cape Dresses
If you're a diva and you know it, get a cape! This fashionable style is pairable with just about any other style dress, making any intended fashion statement goal achievable. Show off your versatility by being daring and rocking your cape as a statement, or add a cape to your dress for a more modest church setting in place of a veil to modernize your look. Below are a few dress-types that the cape can be pulled off with:
- Short dresses
- Ball gowns
- Strapless
- One shoulder
Short Dresses
Short dresses are definitely "in" and while head turning and jaw dropping, they can be just as appropriate as the traditional go-to dress cut. Strut and flaunt your short dress at the main event or reception in sheer, fit-to-flair, beaded, with feathers; or, be low key with floral patterns or long-sleeved at a private eloping–the choices are limitless!
Layered Skirts
For those brides who prefer to stick with a more traditional wedding dress design, a layered skirt might be the best option. Floaty, flirty, and fabulous, a layered wedding gown allows you to showcase your sense of style while also keeping things elegant and formal. From a strapless sweetheart cut to a tighter fitting mermaid with lace bodice, layered dresses can add an element of class while also being beautiful.
Subtle Sparkle
If you want your dress to pop, but don't necessarily want something too loud, subtle sparkles might be for you. This is definitely a step outside of the orthodox wedding dress, but it is a tasteful alteration that will leave your guests in awe. Here are some ideas to add some razzle dazzle for your special day:
- Sequin, whether it be v-neckline, off shoulder, or another
- Beaded embroidery like ombre pearl and/or crystal
- Diamanté drop crystals
For a fairytale-like wedding vibe, ruffles might be your cup of tea. Ruffles on wedding dresses make the dress full and fluffy, adding to the magical feeling of your special day. Here are a few styles that pair well with ruffled wedding dresses:
- Sweetheart neckline ball gowns
- Tiered ruffle skirts
- Bodice and handkerchief skirts
- Country style organza

Sometimes there is stuff I know and I am unable to explain it in any coherent way. I get distracted and wander off on another tangent and get bogged down in epigenetics. Sometimes I need to borrow Science of Eds' wonderful brain and fluid writing style and from now on, when someone asks me about why people find the idea of an eating disorder having a genetic component harmful, I will send them here.
For me, the idea that an eating disorder is heritable but not solely responsible makes a lot of sense. It stops an eating disorder being an "ongoing behavioural choice". It takes away the blame. However, I have never looked at the flip side or understood it as clearly. I never regarded it as a disincentive to recovery.
When I grow up I want to be Tetyana.

Date and Time Ranges
The DateTimePicker provides options for displaying date and time ranges between predefined min and max values, and allows the user to pick a specific date and time only from that range.
Calendar and TimePicker Ranges
You can control the range of dates by setting the min
and max
properties. When the DateTimePicker renders the ranges, it will take into account both date and time parts. The min
value has to be lower than the max
If the min value is 10th of March, 12:30
and 10th of March is selected in the date part, the time part will prevent a selection before 12:30. However, if 11th of March is selected, the time part will allow any selection of time.
The following example demonstrates how to limit the value of the DateTimePicker to a certain date and time range.
Preventing Invalid Input
By default, the specified min
and max
values produce form errors when a value outside the specified range is entered in the input. You can disable this option by setting the rangeValidation
property to false
Alternatively, to prevent typing an out-of-range value, you can render the input in a read-only state, allowing the user to choose a value only from the popup (see example).

After 25 years of sitting on boards, I am more convinced than ever that boards should not get involved in an organisation at an operational level – and marketing is a largely operational activity.
That said it is important that board members understand marketing, its place in the strategic planning process and how they should get involved in that process.
There are many things board members should know about marketing. Here are my top 9.
- What marketing is.
- Marketing is a behavioural science. It is in essence the business of causing specified target audiences to do what you need them to do, in order to achieve your objectives.
- What marketing is not.
- Marketing is not advertising. Advertising is a small subset of marketing. The other aspects including the product, service, customer engagement, price and distribution being more important, and all have the potential to reduce advertising costs.
- What a brand is and what branding is.
- Your brand is what your target audiences say it is. Branding is the process of reducing the gap between what your brand should be and what it is. Branding drives sales, repeat business, referrals, margins, staff retention and staff performance.
- The importance of customers.
- The optimal brand, branding strategy and marketing strategy are developed by the organisation based on what is known about the target audience and how best to manage the behaviour of that audience. Customer focus is essential.
- The importance of data.
- Marketing strategy has for far too long been based on intuition, perhaps supported by some research. Cost effective marketing involves, gathering all the hard data required to make decisions based in evidence rather than unreliable intuition.
- The importance of the product.
- Zara, the world's 5th largest and fashion brand, despite the business having no advertising budget. It is a highly profitable business because it focuses on offering a product (clothing and service) that meets and exceeds customer expectations.
- The metrics that matter
- All marketing needs to be held accountable and it is a governance responsibility that board members should ensure it is. All marketing can be made accountable if the right strategies, systems and metrics are in place. This will increase return on investment.
- The expertise needed.
- Most marketing managers are well versed in sales and or advertising, few are as well versed in the management of human behaviour and the understanding of behavioural insights and behavioural economics that facilitates cost effective marketing
- The planning required
- Brand, branding and marketing strategy are critical component, if not the driver of business planning. They are not after thoughts. The board has a role to play in ensuring that the marketing strategy is fully integrated into the business plan.

Although the endeavor to create a publicly accessible Blackfoot-centric library is recent, this project is ultimately the outcome of documentary work that began more than a century ago, and which elaborates on a knowledge base that emerged through a continuity of many thousands of years living in kitawahsinnoon.
The Blackfoot Digital Library is both indebted and dedicated to akaitapii - our ancestors who observed the radical changes being forced upon our communities in the context of colonization, and who took it upon themselves to record their knowledge for the benefit of future generations.
This is our opportunity to bring home the field notes, photographs, and recordings that have been spread all over the world; to respond to publications that have misinterpreted and misrepresented our experiences and our way of life.
The Blackfoot Digital Library is a venue for sharing our families and our communities stories, past and present. Most certainly it is intended to be an educational resource for all those now living in kitawahsinnoon
But above all, The Blackfoot Digital Library is meant to honor akaitapii, and their desire to speak through a variety of recording media to the grandchildren they never had a chance to meet, thereby ensuring that their knowledge is carried through to future generations.A joint project of the Red Crow Community College and the University of Lethbridge - Alberta Indigenous RelationsAlberta government website with current information relating to First Nations and Metis

This website was developed to support students in their studies, and to provide instructors, researchers and the broader public with a place to begin exploring topics that relate to Aboriginal peoples, cultures, and histories. Indigenous Foundations was developed by the First Nations Studies Program at the University of British Columbia, located on the traditional, ancestral, and unceded territory of the Musqueam people.
- Library and Archives Canada Indigenous Newspapers digitizationIn 2017, Library and Archives Canada, as part of the National Heritage Digitization Strategy (NHDS), digitized titles to add to the national collection.
This pilot project was funded by the Salamander Foundation and relied on the generous support of the newspaper publishers.
Digitized issues
We are working on creating a database. Until it is available, you can access the newly digitized issues via direct links added on our website.

Our reference services receive many requests related to attendance at residential or day schools. Most residential school records are in the Department of Indian Affairs and Northern Development fonds (RG10/R216).
In Collection Search, type in various combinations of the following terms for a broad search: the name of the school, archival reference number RG10, and keywords such as pupil, student, nominal, attendance, admission or discharge.
Refine your search results using the tabs across the top of the results page or the filters in the left menu. For example, you can limit your results to Archives (unpublished materials) and a specific date range. The goal is to identify and compile a list of complete references for potentially relevant files.

- 2018 CBC Massey Lectures: All Our Relations: Finding the Path Forward by Tanya Talagan her 2018 CBC Massey Lectures series, titled All Our Relations: Finding the Path Forward, prize-winning journalist Tanya Talaga (author of Seven Fallen Feathers) explores the legacy of cultural genocide against Indigenous peoples.
For Talaga, that cultural genocide has led to a forced disconnection from land and language by Indigenous peoples. The need now, she says, is for Indigenous self-determination in social, cultural and political arenas.Many communities, in Canada and abroad, are finding that the road back to a relationship with land and language are keys to community healing — to what, in fact, it means to be Indigenous.
These are lectures about values for our times, and for all of us.
The book version of the lectures, published by House of Anansi Press, was a finalist for the Hilary Weston Writers' Trust Prize for Nonfiction.
