The objective of this investigation was to study the effect of operating variables such as cutting speed, feed, and coolant on surface finish, tool wear, dimensional control, and productivity in prolonged plunge machining on a multispindle automatic screw machine. Low carbon resulfurized and low carbon resulfurized leaded steels were chosen as the workpiece material since these steels account for the bulk of the tonnage used on screw machines. The results show that (a) finer feeds give poorer surface finish than coarser feeds; (b) within the range of feed (0.00049–0.0042 ipr) and speed (86-353 sfpm) investigated, surface finish in plunge machining was found to be more sensitive to changes in feed than to changes in speed; (c) the surface roughness as well as wearland grow rapidly within the first few minutes of the life of a tool, and then attains a much lower rate of deterioration during the remainder of the run until just before the tool failure when the deterioration rate rises progressively; (d) the surface-finish variation is higher in bars obtained from various locations within a single ingot than in bars obtained from similar locations in adjoining ingots; (e) there exists a strong radial variation which gives poorer surface finish and larger diameter increase as the cutting moves from the center of the bar to the outside; and (f) leaded resulfurized steel gives poorer surface finish and greater diameter increase with straight oil than with water soluble oil; the reverse is true for nonleaded resulfurized steel.

When something goes wrong with your teeth - such as tooth decay, a broken tooth, or a tooth being lost or extracted - it can severely impact your health and leave you in significant pain. Restorative dentistry works to alleviate that pain and bring your teeth back to optimal health, so you can live and smile normally again.
Ballantyne Family Dental is dedicated to helping patients deal with a variety of dental problems. Dr. Vinita Patel serves residents and families across Charlotte and outlying communities. If you are suffering from tooth pain, missing teeth, or other dental issues, please schedule a consultation today and let us take care of your teeth.
Missing teeth don't have to be a fact of life. Dental implants offer a permanent replacement for a missing tooth and can protect your dental health and confidence.
Dental implants are comprised of a titanium post inserted into the jaw bone, topped with a lifelike prosthetic tooth. The implant post fuses to the bone and acts as a tooth root, which prevents jaw bone loss and keeps your teeth in alignment. The new tooth looks and functions like a real one, and is as easy to care for as your natural teeth.
A dental bridge can replace up to three teeth by anchoring them to the neighboring teeth on each side of the gap, which is fitted with dental crowns.
Dentures can replace some or all of the teeth in an arch. They are custom-made to sit above the gums and provide functional teeth for you to eat and speak with. Traditional dentures are removable, but permanent dentures can be fixed into place with dental implants.
When tooth suffers decay, the damaged enamel will need to be removed. Fillings return to function and provide protection for the remaining tooth to prevent further infection. Cosmetic fillings are shaded to match your teeth, preserving your smile aesthetic.
If the filling is large, or a tooth is cracked, it may need a dental crown to restore it. This tooth-colored cap is placed over a prepared tooth, keeping it safe and functional.
Should tooth decay reach the inner pulp of a tooth, it can cause extreme discomfort and lead to severe health risks. Root canal therapy alleviates pain and infection while preserving the tooth itself.
While RTC has had a negative reputation in the past, modern dental techniques make it safer, gentler, and more efficient than ever. Dr. Patel and her team have performed countless root canal therapy procedures, and strive for efficiency and maximum patient comfort.
If a tooth is broken, badly decayed, or impacted (pushing against other teeth), it may need an extraction. The most common extractions are the third molars or wisdom teeth. These teeth often become impacted and cause crowding and other issues. Most people will need at least one of these teeth removed to prevent further problems.
Dr. Patel and her team strive to make restorative dentistry a positive experience for every patient. With a relaxing environment and a welcoming approach, we make every effort to make patients feel safe and comfortable. We'll answer any questions you have, and make sure you understand all of your options. Schedule a consultation with us today!
We combine experience with the latest in dental technology to deliver the best patient experience possible.

Hello my name is Laura and I'm a graphic designer that likes to draw, you're all invited to check my flickr account http://www.flickr.com/photos/lauralink88
This is my initial sketch idea of what I want. Just a girl in dark shadows with a flower in her hands
On a thicker paper I had around (185g), I've rendered a more detailed sketch, I took a reference photo of myself with the desired pose. It's not a smooth paper so hopefully when I draw on the final smooth surface paper I bought, it's going to look better
This is how it's comming out so far, quite challenging since I've never been restricted to a small amount for colors. Wasn't liking it at first but the drawing has grown on me.
Finally finished! It's been a while since I last used colored pencils, and I must say I'm a bit rusty. Overall I think it was a good first intent. Hope to improve and get that super smooth coloring Marco has that is so lovely. Still a lot to learn :)
Thanks to Marco Mazzoni who inspires me so much and for allowing us some insight on his beautiful work! <3
Oh and this is me saying hi :p

Cultivating Beauty: Ontario Horticultural Societies from 1906-Present an Exhibit by Royal Botanical Gardens
The Centre for Canadian Historical Horticultural Studies, a scholarly centre within Royal Botanical Gardens (RBG), hosted an exhibit on March 14th at the Burlington Public Library detailing the history of Ontario Horticultural Societies. I curated the exhibit, Cultivating Beauty: The History of Ontario Horticultural Societies, and delivered an engaging presentation focusing on a history that spanned well over 100 years.
Prior to this, I happily organized a large collection, under the supervision of Erin Aults, Library and Archives Specialist, and David Galbraith, Head of Science, consisting of records from horticultural societies from across the country. With the burgeoning number of environmental histories being written, these documents fit nicely into the larger story showing how these societies altered the Canadian landscape. These documents also add to Canada's rich social history, showcasing how motivated individuals came together to make positive contributions to their towns and cities, enhancing the social and cultural fabrics of their communities.
My favourite part of researching horticultural societies has been seeing how they have admirably responded to local, regional, national, and international events, planting flowers along the way. Originally, society members beautified towns and cities as a means of fostering good, moral citizens. They also raised their trowels to harvest and reap vegetables throughout two world wars. Many women also filled societies' ranks participating in increased numbers throughout the century. During my presentation, I provided the audience with an overview of this wonderful history, showcasing the commendable efforts of these societies, who have worked hard to make Ontario beautiful. I felt honoured to read the words of horticultural society members who read those very words during their own speeches throughout the century. They spoke with such beautiful sentiment and I felt proud to share their story.
The exhibit, which can travel, details women's involvement in societies, First and Second World War food production, rural school beautification, and other great stories.
There is also a focus on the Burlington Horticultural Society showing how its members were a large force behind Burlington's beautification efforts. Their numerous projects fostered civic improvement and pride that still continues. This group is still active today, working hard to keep Burlington-and Ontario-beautiful.
The presentation was a success with approximately forty people attending the event. After my talk, I was asked by the Burlington Horticultural Society to present at their Annual General Meeting in 2019. A smaller (also travelling) version of the exhibit can be found at the Burlington Public Library for one month. After that, the exhibit will be featured at the Royal Botanical Gardens.

The Presentation
If you would like to learn more about horticultural societies more generally, or the Burlington Horticultural Society more specifically, please check out my presentation.
As many of you know, it takes a lot of people to put together an exhibit. Erin Aults kindly organized the event with Michelle. Christie Brodie, RBG's Interpretation Projects Coordinator, did all of the wonderful graphic design for the exhibit's labels, printed and mounted them, and taught me about the process. RBG staff cut the mounts. Benjamin Peddle, Burlington Library's Service Librarian helped me locate the library's collection on the Burlington society, and then scanned images for use on the labels. Bill Kilburn of the Back to Nature Network and Erin watched me do a presentation run-through, giving me suggestions about how to make my speech better. Pat did a wonderful job of helping us set up the exhibit and to greet visitors at the door. Joyce Vanderwoudes, member of the Burlington Horticultural Society, met with Erin and I to discuss the society's history. A special thank you to W.H. Perron for letting us use one of their early advertisements in the display.
Thank you to everyone that helped me make this event such a success!

HortiCULTURE: Artifacts from the Archives of the Centre for Canadian Historical Horticultural Studies and Royal Botanical Gardens
Royal Botanical Gardens (RBG) recently hosted the Hamilton Museum Educators group for a museums and technology conference. As part of the program, staff put together an exhibit to showcase two archives at RBG: the Centre for Canadian Historical Horticultural Studies (CCHHS) and RBG's institutional archives.
CCHHS collects and preserves literature, documents, and artifacts relevant to the history of horticulture in Canada. The topic of horticulture is broad in scope; it includes any resource relating to horticultural plants and their development and use in Canada. The archive has many important scientific documents on topics such as phenology and plant hybridization. Popular writings, pamphlets and brochures, government reports, seed catalogues, and correspondence, photographs, slides, among other ephemera, also make up the collection. There are also personal papers of many successful horticulturists, like Isabella Preston and Art Drysdale. CCHHS' records tell us a lot about Canadian plants and landscapes and how they have changed over time. They also offer us a larger view of societal changes in Canada.
Royal Botanical Gardens' archives keeps administrative records of the institution which includes historical samples of past stationary, plaques, china, photographs, and even drapes. This archives also has important papers of past employees including published papers, correspondence, and other intellectual works. Records of past events, corporate publications, and 80 years of photographs that capture the staff, gardens, and landscape make up a significant part of the collection.
Erin Aults, RBG's Knowledge Resource Management Specialist, and I worked to put the exhibit together. Marie Minaker, RBG's volunteer archivist, suggested artifacts from RBG's archives to include. Artifacts were grouped into five categories: Canadian horticultural education, women in botany, historic seed catalogues, ephemera, and other special collections.

Quetico Centre Remembered
What was Quetico Centre?
Quetico Centre was an residential adult education centre in Northwestern Ontario, located approximately 26km east of Atikokan. In 1958, the Eva Lake Planning Committee purchased the Quetico Conference and Training Centre property from the Department of Lands and Forests. Shortly after, Cliff McIntosh was appointed director of the Centre. He worked with H.E. "Bud" Thomas, formerly the Regional Officer within the Community Programs Branch of the Department of Education of Thunder Bay, to bring the idea of a residential adult education centre into fruition. Quetico Centre quickly became a meeting place attracting people from the region and surrounding area to partake in art courses, outdoor programs, heavy equipment training and craft classes. The Centre's philosophy was based on the belief that learning was a life-long pursuit that informed daily life as well as fostered community development. It successfully brought many educational opportunities to individuals in Northwestern Ontario, other interested Canadians as well as some Americans.
Practical Visionaries
Quetico Centre Programming
Life at Quetico Centre
The Booklet
For the exhibit I created a ten page booklet that placed Quetico Centre into the larger adult education narrative. Rather than take a chronological approach, the booklet discussed how the Centre borrowed from the progressive and folk school traditions to create a successful teaching institution. As a parting gift, this booklet was given out to all guests who came to the opening. Additional copies are now sold at the museum's gift shop.
There were several reasons why I chose to have the museum's staff mimic the 1983 photograph seen above. For one, I thought that it was be a fun addition to the gallery space, especially since Joan is holding the book in both photographs. Second, I wanted to show guests that Quetico Centre's story is constantly evolving, with this exhibit being another chapter in its history. Third, curating an exhibit involves many hours of hard, unseen work and I wanted to put faces to those involved in the creation of the displays/opening event. I was tasked with curating the exhibit, which meant I researched, wrote labels, chose photographs, and assisted with exhibit design and event planning. I was also in charge of marketing, meaning that I recorded a radio ad, wrote a newspaper article, and (with the help from our volunteer Jim Blunderfield) handed out posters to local businesses. Lois provided feedback and assistance throughout the project. She also played a large role in planning the event. Nancy aided with exhibit design, cutting labels, mounting titles and helping to set up the room for display. Joan helped me select images, read the labels to ensure the information was correct and provided insight into Quetico Centre's history.
Creating the Fonds
The Quetico Centre archival fonds is kept in the museum's community room, the same room the exhibit was set up in. I decided to use this as an opportunity to educate the public about basic archival principles. I took "before" pictures of the collection to juxtapose against the nicely organized final product.
The day was a success, with 40 people attending the opening. It is always great to watch an idea become a tangible thing- and I am glad that I was able to share Quetico Centre's story with the local community.
We live in a web of ideas, a fabric of our own making.
-Joseph Chilton Pearce
This May, the Atikokan Centennial Museum is putting on a colourful exhibition, History in Stitches: Fabric Arts Throughout the Years, in collaboration with the Pictograph Gallery's exhibit, Wild Things ...We Quilt Everything. Both of these displays are created to showcase the vibrant quilting and fibre arts community in Atikokan. The museum's exhibit encompasses many unique pieces, including: doilies, various types of quilts, the Atikokan Tartan, crocheted placemats, children's clothing, wall hangings and a beautiful hooked rug. The museum wants to make this exhibit accessible to the wider community and other Canadians by creating a virtual exhibit. For the purposes of this online exhibit several of the quilts and the town's official tartan will be the primary focus of discussion. Please stop in to the museum to view the other exceptional artifacts on display.
The museum's staff has worked hard over the past month to prepare the gallery space for public viewing. Our Curator, Lois Fenton, has collected local artifacts and stories. Heather Hosick, founder of the Atikokan Quilter's Guild, happily shared many important insights into the town's quilting community. Laila Goranson and Wanda Bigwood, who helped to create the Fix-It Club quilt, also sat down with us to share their stories. The Museum's Assistant, Nancy Kozlovic, and volunteer, Jim Clark, worked tirelessly at exhibit design, ensuring the gallery space looked great. With their efforts many of the quilts on display were dramatically hung from the ceiling. Our volunteer, Joan McIntosh, lent creative vision to the space. My role was to photograph the artifacts for the blog as well as to provide a broader discussion of quilting for context. Many of the views expressed here are the ways in which I interpreted the artifacts and only offer a small glimpse (a sneak peek, if you will) of the material presented in the physical exhibit.
It is also important to acknowledge the many people who loaned artifacts for use in the museum's exhibit. Nancy Fotheringham kindly loaned many family pieces including, quilts, doilies, placemats, a knitting bag, knitting patterns and children's clothing. Dr. Walter Kristjanson allowed us to borrow his beautiful quilt, which was given to him for his retirement from the Atikokan General Hospital in 1991. Jim Blunderfield loaned an exquisite quilt and matching pillow that belonged to Evelyn Ashford, a head nurse who also received a quilt for retiring from the hospital. All of these contributions will be acknowledged in the photographs' captions.

A Rich Artistic Tradition
For a small, isolated Northwestern Ontario town, Atikokan has a large and rich artistic tradition. This tradition was inspired by two important factors: the natural beauty of the surrounding environment, and necessity. Because of the town's location, two hours from any other population centre, its citizens learned to become self-reliant. This meant creating many articles, like quilts and clothing, for themselves and their families. For many women, these activities became important because they allowed for creative expression, an opportunity for social interaction, and meant that their families stayed warm and well clothed.
In addition to the town's quilting community, there are many other exceptional artists including painters, carvers and weavers. In 1981 Atikokan Reeve, Dennis Brown commissioned Irma Hicks and Jack Fraser to create Atikokan's tartan. A vibrant piece, the colours used in its creation represent many important aspects of the town's history and identity.
Blue recalls the blue skies and lakes so prevalent in Northwestern Ontario.
Red is symbolic of the Canadian National Railway which gave Atikokan its raison d'etre when the community was designated a Divisional Point at the turn of the century.
Green for the dominant conifers that blanket the area, and commemorates the logging industry.
Gold stands for gold mining which once drew prospectors and miners to the area and for the autumn colours which blaze throughout the forests.
Rusty Brown is a reminder of Steep Rock Iron Mines and Caland Ore Company which brought prosperity to the community.
Grey symbolizes the presence of the ageless rocks of the Canadian Shield.
White is a symbol of the winter snow that provides livelihood and recreation for so many.
The above information was copied from an Atikokan Centennial Museum label created by Lois Fenton and adapted from Jeanne Georgeson's Atikokan Progress article.
Through the generosity of local resident Don Meany the tartan was formally registered by the Scottish Tartan Society on June 14, 1999. This approval authenticated that there were no other tartans that followed its particular thread count and design. They described this thread count as follows: white (4), green (6), mid brown (6), maroon (6), light grey (6), light blue (28), and yellow (12).[1] The tartan now hangs permanently on display at the Atikokan Centennial Museum as a silent reminder of the town's multi-faceted and vibrant history.
A Brief History of Quilting
Quilting has been performed by women for hundreds of years. Patterns first appeared in publications in the 1830s; however, it was not until the 1880s that printed patterns became mainstream. This phenomenon occurred because with better technology printing techniques became better and cheaper, which allowed for a greater dispersion of materials. Later, in the 1920s, many newspapers began to offer quilting columns dedicated to the craft. It was also popular among friends to share patterns with one another. During the Depression era many women continued to make their own quilts, rather than buy more expensive, pre-fabricated models from department stores.[2] Quilts have gone through trends, much like anything else. For instance, the "crazy quilt" became a popular design in the late 1800s. These quilts were fashioned from fine silks, velvets, brocades and fine embellishments before falling out of fashion with urban women. This technique was used long after by women from rural communities because it allowed them to use many different scraps from worn out clothing. Fine silks and velvets gave way to cotton and wool materials. Crazy quilts became less about aesthetics; instead, they became more about a practical use of materials.[3] Below is a beautiful example of a crazy quilt made by Anna Rawn in 1957. The names of her family members were tenderly stitched into the asymmetrically cut and sewn fabric. Anna cut pieces from old clothing and stitched them together in order to create an extra layer of warmth for her family.
A Language that Speaks Through Fabric
Quilts act as storytellers, depicting important community narratives spoken through the many voices of those who helped piece them together. Seen this way, quilts tell the stories of both the individuals who helped create them and the community in which they were made. Allison Carey, English professor at Marshall University, states that "quilts have a language that transcends national boundaries but also has a distinct local meaning communicated by fabrics, patterns and colours."[4] Scholar Elaine Hedges also speaks to this when she states that quilting is both an "individual and collective art" where "no other art has ever brought together so many people."[5]
The quilts on display at the Atikokan Centennial Museum were all hand-stitched, offering examples of earlier quilting techniques. In 1999, in time for Atikokan's 100th anniversary, two beautiful quilts were crafted, one by the Birch Studio Quilters and the other by the Fix-It Club Quilters. Both of these quilts captured imagery specific to Atikokan and were made using traditional methods. Many women contributed to the quilts, each bringing something of herself as a means for creating a community symbol. To offer an example, in the quilt below, created by Birch Studio Quilters, a large blue heron is noticeable in the centre right. This square was made by Sandra Nash. The imagery undoubtedly speaks to the wildlife of the region, but it also speaks to the fact that Sandra and her husband were birdwatchers. Likewise, the patch that depicts logging was created by Tanis Hampshire, who chose this subject matter because her husband worked in the bush. In these cases, it was women who decided what were important Atikokan symbols to include in the quilt's narrative. Quilts like these offer a great look at the town's history and identity as seen through the eyes of women.
The above quilt was made by: Karin Arif, Marilyn Barber, Eunice Hamilton, Shirley and Allan Cain, Maryann Couch, Ida Docking, Mary Elder, Tanis Hampshire, Heather Hosick, Lorena Jaman, Barb Kwasnicia, Sandra Nash, Teresa Larson, Janette Payne, Louise Sawchuk, Sally Speck, Chris Spilchuk, Lynn Enge, Linda Jung, and Barb Wiens.
The quilt below, created by the Fix-It Club, shares several similarities to that of the Birch Studio Quilt, namely the mining, logging and nature imagery. One of the differences is that these women also created patches that depicted architecture from Atikokan's rich pioneering past. For instance, the Pioneer Hotel is visible in the top left corner. This hotel was built by Tom Rawn, the man credited with being the town's founder. Atikokan originated as a Divisional Point on the Canadian National railway between Fort Frances and Thunder Bay; after this hotel was built in 1900 people began to settle in the area. Atikokan's first school and jail house (which were the same building, due to building scarcity at the time) and the first train station were also included in the quilt. Like the Birch Studio quilt, this colourful piece speaks to how its creators saw the town and its surrounding area.
The above quilt was made by Bev and Laila Goranson, Claraine Cavner, Wanda Bigwood, Diane McKay, Adeline McCormick, Linda Geurts, Ila Quinn, Beaulah Larocque, Anne Humphrey, Grace Chamber and Josephine Hart.
The museum's staff had the pleasure of speaking with Laila Goranson and Wanda Bigwood, two of the quilt's creators. Wanda recounted that she made the jail house patch and that she learned about the history of this building from Anna Rawn. When asked about the quilt's brown trim, Wanda jokingly recalled that "years ago [Atikokan] was dirty, dirty, dirty" and that "on her first day in town she told her husband that she did not want to stay."[6] When asked what changed her mind she said that "the community was so inviting." At that time, many young people moved to Atikokan and this contributed to a rich social scene. Wanda has called Atikokan home ever since. Laila told us that many of the quilt's squares were made from her husband Leo's drawings. She recalled that the women got together once a week to work on the quilt, but that many of them also worked on their own quilting projects at home.[7]
Quilts capture many different types of stories. Below is a quilt that belonged to Evelyn Ashford, head nurse at the Atikokan General Hospital. It was given to her by hospital staff upon her retirement in 1984. The squares can be seen as a storyboard depicting important moments in Evelyn's life. She was an avid curler, a fact represented in a number of the quilt's squares. She was also a graduate of St. Joseph's Nursing School in Hamilton, Ontario, in 1951, an achievement also captured. These and other squares, including the nurse's needle, recount Evelyn's greatest achievements and varied interests.
Like Evelyn, Dr. Kristjanson was also given a quilt for his retirement from the hospital in 1992. He practiced medicine and served the community for over 40 years. When he started his career in 1951 he worked at Atikokan's newly built Red Cross Hospital. At that time there was no highway linking Atikokan to larger city centres. He stated that "we did have the train, and in a few cases we commandeered it to take patients to Thunder Bay."[8] There are many interesting features of Dr. Kristjanson's quilt. The stork carrying the baby speaks to the many newborns that he helped deliver, which he has estimated to be 1,900 over the course of his career. This was an even more impressive feat considering that Atikokan had the highest birth rate in Canada in the 1950s.[9] Many of the quilt's patches speak to his abilities as a doctor, while others showcase his interests.
The museum feels very fortunate to be able to exhibit many beautiful quilts as well as other exceptional fibre arts. These pieces speak vividly about Atikokan's history, capturing many aspects that make it unique. We invite you to come visit both the museum and the Pictograph Gallery's exhibit. The museum's opening reception will be held on May 4 from 1-4pm. This is a white glove affair; fancy hats are encouraged. Tea and dainties will be served and we look forward to seeing you!

The Atikokan Centennial Museum has a wonderful exhibit space dedicated to Indigenous history. As this region has a rich Indigenous history dating back 9,000 years, there are many different types of artifacts on display. To offer a few examples, we have hung three beautifully decorated tikinagans in our gallery space. These artifacts are a traditional handicraft made by Ojibway women. Mothers originally used tikinagans as a swaddling cradle to carry their babies. The museum also displays various tools from the Basil Montague Battley Collection. One notable tool is a copper hook that was said (by the donor) to have originated in the western United States. If this story is true, it demonstrates how vast the trading networks were; however, this assertion has never been verified by the museum. Another artifact to note is the regalia loaned to the museum by Jaret Veran, a local Métis man, who danced in the opening ceremonies of the 2010 winter Olympics. These artifacts, and the other objects in the collection, remind visitors that Atikokan's story did not begin with European contact. Since putting up the exhibit, the museum has made efforts to partner with the Atikokan Native Friendship Centre (ANFC). With their assistance, the museum hopes to make the gallery a place that properly represents Indigenous stories in the narratives presented.
Jaret Veran wore this regalia to dance at the Opening Ceremonies of the 2010 Winter Olympics. The regalia was made by members of his family: Jack Veran, Allison Durand, Evelyn Veran and Linda Fogg. The artwork seen here was done by Linda Fogg. On loan to the Atikokan Centennial Museum by Jaret Veran.
My primary job at the museum has been digitizing the collection. I mainly work with photographs. As I have digitized the records, I have noticed that there were many wonderful photographs of the local Indigenous population in our records. I thought that including photographs in our displays would be a great way to give the space a more human element, giving a face to the community. Moreover, since the museum has limited documentation of the local Indigenous population, our Curator, Lois and I thought that it would be great to have the community help us identify some of the people in these photographs. This idea was partly inspired by the project naming initiative undertaken by Library and Archives Canada.
I recently read an article entitled, "Shadows and Sacred Geography: First Nations History-Making from an Alberta Perspective," which stated that Indigenous photographs "represent personal and emotional memories for them and through them a First Nations viewer may come face to face with past relatives for the first time. Archival photographs constitute for some Native people their earliest, possibly only 'family albums.'""[1] This idea served as my inspiration. Although I knew that the authors were not talking about an album in the literal sense, I thought that making an album was a great idea. I pulled together all of the photographs I have found thus far (31 in total), and Lois took my scans to get printed. Copies were used in the album to ensure the protection of the originals (which I can say are safety nestled back in their archival boxes.)
I knew what my goals were with this project, but I was not sure the best way to execute it. Lois suggested that I put a page in with every photograph so that people could write information down. This was a good suggestion because it could help us acquire more information, which would undoubtedly result in a more encompassing collection, and it was a way for people to interact with the material we present. I had a fun arts and crafts afternoon putting the project together.
The album turned out great, and it now accompanies our Indigenous history exhibit. In addition, Lois plans on bringing the album to a drop-in session at the ANFC. We hope that this project will allow us to make a greater connection to the local Indigenous population. We will be thrilled to include any information learned about the photographs in our accession records. Our collection is not all-encompassing, but we work hard to make it as inclusive as possible.

For Freedom and Honour: The Story of Two Atikokan World War I Veterans - A Virtual Exhibit.
In 1968 the Atikokan Centennial Museum received a donation of military artifacts from Florence Ransom. One of these artifacts was a Next of Kin War Memorial Plaque featuring the name of her husband, Reginald Ransom. During World War I over 1,000,000 of these plaques were issued to family members in commemoration of those who died in service.[1]
In 2014 our Curator, Lois Fenton, researched Reginald Ransom and the 52nd Battalion he fought with. She noticed that his attestation papers named his next of kin as his mother, Susan. This information showed that Florence and Reginald were married while he was fighting overseas.
Sadly, Reginald Ransom never came home. He died serving our country on February 24th, 1917.
This information made us wonder, how did his new English bride end up living in Atikokan, Ontario?
Reginald became good friends with army mate John Alexander ("Sandy") Johnston. Before his death, he made Sandy promise to take care of Florence if anything should happen to him. Sandy stayed true to his word. The rest of this story will unfold throughout this exhibit as the lives of these two veterans are recounted.
Exhibit Information
This exhibit was originally put together as a special presentation for the Atikokan cadets, who were getting ready for a trip to Vimy Ridge. The displays were temporary, kept up for only two days. Aside from the cadets, Royal Canadian Legion Branch 145 members were also invited to explore the exhibit space. Due to the exhibit's short duration, we thought that a virtual exhibit was a great way to share these veterans' stories with the local community and other Canadians.
This virtual exhibit is an Atikokan Centennial Museum project. As it is hosted on my private blog, I feel that it is important to acknowledge the people who helped put it together. The local history was researched by Lois Fenton and Sandy Johnston's daughter, Nancy Fotheringham. Nancy kindly loaned many of the objects seen in this blog and this is acknowledged in the photographs' captions. I was responsible for giving the artifacts context through discussions of a broader military history. I also scanned and photographed all of the artifacts. The information presented has been fact-checked by military and medical historian Dr. Adam Montgomery.
Sandy Johnston (1889-1965)
Sandy was born in 1889 in Dresden, Ontario. Like many men of his period, he had different vocations throughout his life. He was mechanically and mathematically inclined, spending time in Detroit learning the mechanics of the new car industry. As a young man he also moved to Port Arthur (present day Thunder Bay) to work as an accountant in the lumber camps. In 1915, shortly after the war erupted, he volunteered for service as a Private in the 52nd battalion. That December, the battalion left for England, and by 1916 he was stationed in France.[2]
The 52nd Battalion was part of the Canadian Expeditionary Force (CEF). The CEF was "the collective name given to the military structure created in 1914 in which some 620,000 Canadians served overseas during World War I."[3] This Force did not include the Canadians who served in the navy, merchant marine, or the Royal Air Force. In other words, the CEF was "Canada's wartime army overseas."[4] In total, 260 numbered CEF battalions were formed during the war.[5]
Sandy worked within the Canadian Signal Corp, laying and maintaining communication lines. In 1916 he was promoted to Signalling Sergeant. [6]
Easter weekend of 1917 saw one of Canada's most iconic battles, Vimy Ridge. "Weeks of planning, map-studying and platoon tactics rehearsal climaxed when 15,000 soldiers charged into heavy German machine gun fire, behind a wall of precisely placed Canadian artillery shells."[7] The troops stormed up the ridge, a task which had previously caused 150,000 French and British casualties, and were successful in dislodging the Germans from their strongholds. But this victory did not come without a loss. After three days of fighting 3,598 Canadian troops were dead and 7,000 were wounded.[8] This event was the first time that all divisions of the CEF fought together, and this included Sandy Johnston.
It was also discovered that Sandy fought in the Battle of Passchendaele. In October of 1917 the 52nd Battalion led the 3rd division attack. An October 22, 1917 Battalion War Diary entry stated that he "went forward in busses (sic) to look at the new front line."[9] This information was verified by John Easson, a retired major, after he corresponded with Nancy.
Sandy was awarded the Military Medal for the maintenance of communications while under enemy fire at Vimy Ridge. His award was listed in the London Gazette, 9 July 1917.
Sandy was awarded two other medals for his service, the first being the Allied Victory Medal. Approximately 5.7 million of these medals were issued during the Great War. To be a recipient "an individual had to have entered a theatre of war (an area of active fighting), not just served overseas."[12] The rainbow ribbon represents the combined colours of the Allied nations. The front of the medal depicts a winged classic figure, an image that represents freedom. The back of the medal reads, "The Great War for Civilisation 1914-1919." Each allied nation issued a medal of a similar design, similar wording, and identical ribbon.[13]
The second medal was the British War Medal. Approximately 6.4 million of these medals were issued by the British government to those who had represented the British and Imperial Forces at any point of the war.[14]
Before the end of the war, Sandy was commissioned as an officer in the Royal Flying Corp (which later became the Royal Air Force.) Nancy stated that her father "was given the chance to get a commission and learn to fly because of his bravery in the field at Vimy for which he received a Military Medal." Obtaining a position in the Air Force was seen as prestigious, as the task required more skill and innate physical characteristics such as good eyesight. Becoming an air pilot also meant an escape from the trenches. Nancy expressed that, "it was a chance [for her father] to escape with honour." His first flight was in August of 1918; his last was in January 1919.[15]
Reginald Ransom (1887-1916)
Reginald Ransom was born on July 22, 1887 in London, England. His attestation papers stated that he was from O'Connor, Ontario and that he identified as a labourer. He joined the 52nd Battalion in Port Arthur on February 18, 1916.
As mentioned above, Reginald was a casualty of the Great War. Lois states that when, "reading the battalion's war record one feels the impending doom, the great carnage of war, the timeline to his death." He was buried at Petit-Vimy British Cemetery in France.[16]
Florence Ransom (1888-1967)
Reginald's wife, Florence, moved to Canada under Sandy Johnston's care after the war. He provided her employment; she managed his general store in Atikokan for nine years. At this time, the store bought and sold furs in the fur trade. In an Atikokan Progress newspaper article, she fondly recalled her delight in the Indigenous population bringing in furs, stating that it "was a colourful occasion to see them trading their furs far into the night."[17] At this time Atikokan was a very small, remote community with a population of 300. It was so small, in fact, that she recalled there being only two stores.[18] Even after she stopped managing Sandy's store, Florence remained close to the Johnston family for many years.
Florence remained a widow for the rest of her life. She was very active in Legion activities, and it can be assumed that this was a way to honour her late husband. Below, among other notable artifacts, note her Certificate of Merit, awarded to her by the Ladies Auxiliary of the 145 Legion branch.
Sandy Johnston Post WWI
After the war, Sandy spent a year working as a demobilization officer in Port Arthur. He then became owner of the McKenzie Inn, east of Thunder Bay. As alluded to above, in 1925 he moved to Atikokan, where he purchased a general store from the town's founder, Tom Rawn. In addition to buying and selling furs, he acted as the postmaster for the community until 1947. He continued his military service later in life. During the Second World War he served as a recruiting officer for the Port Arthur area. After that endeavour he owned and operated the Imperial Oil Agency in Atikokan until his retirement in 1953. On top of his other great achievements, Sandy also served as reeve of Atikokan for five years, 1956-1960.[19]
Throughout his life, Sandy maintained a strong interest in the Canadian Legion, Atikokan Branch No. 145. In fact, he served as its president from 1941 to 1948. The Legion offered a place for returning veterans to come together to discuss their shared experiences.
Sandy married Myrtle Rawn and they had three daughters: Judy and twins Nancy and Patricia. Although he had a rich post-war life, injuries to his feet were a silent reminder of what he had endured.
A museum label of Atikokan's World War I Veterans. This information was taken from an Atikokan War Veterans database created by Adam Montgomery & Stephanie Bellissimo on behalf of the Atikokan Centennial Museum. All Atikokan war veterans' gravestones with visible military markings were photographed and compiled into a list. This list is not conclusive. If a veteran chose not to have any military insignia on their stones, or if they were buried outside of Atikokan, their information was not included. If you have someone to add, please let us know! Leave a comment below. Include the person's name, corp, rank, birth and death dates (if known) and we will update our records.
This exhibit commemorates the 100th anniversary of the battle at Vimy Ridge and the sacrifices that individuals, communities and the nation made for our freedom. Commemoration is important; however, events like these should not just be remembered on anniversaries. It is important to take a moment every now and then to acknowledge the ever-enduring strength of the human spirit to fight for what is believed to be right. Many of these men paid the ultimate sacrifice for their convictions. Reginald's inscription of "death before dishonor" inside his Bible (seen above) speaks to this. We are eternally grateful for these men's brave actions. They will always be remembered.

Wassy and Eddie Trudeau's Love Story Expressed Through Documentary Heritage and Material Culture: A Virtual Exhibit
P.E. "Eddie" and Wassy Trudeau (née Zdan) were married on June 26th 1948, in Winnipeg, Manitoba. Throughout their marriage Eddie worked as a Bridge and Buildings Foreman for the Canadian National Railway (CNR.) Due to the nature of his work, the couple moved throughout the Port Arthur Division of the CNR until they settled in Atikokan. Before her marriage, Wassy worked as a school teacher. In Atikokan she performed office work at the General Motors and Ford dealerships.
A biography written about the couple by an unknown source described Eddie as a man who "loved his career and was a committed God fearing man and a loving husband..."[1] Eddie and Wassy were married for forty-two years.
Wassy had a creative spirit. She enjoyed crocheting, knitting, embroidery, sewing and tailoring and crafts. Eddie "enjoyed being a critic of Wassy's knitting and crochet work" and encouraged her to showcase her work at local fairs.[2] It should be noted that one of her afghans was valued at $1000 at an exhibition in 1986. She also made her wedding dress and veil seen in the photographs above.
The couple was stylish, as demonstrated by the hats above. Can you picture them going out for a night on the town?
Eddie traveled throughout Northwestern Ontario for his work. The envelopes addressed to "Mrs. P.E. Trudeau" seen above were stamped in Winnipeg and Sioux Lookout. Eddie never missed giving Wassy an anniversary, birthday or Valentine's Day card, even while away from home.
When reading Eddie's cards it seems he was a man of little words. However, the card's messages and artwork were filled with beautiful sentiments. The cards shown in this online exhibit make up only a small fraction of the cards that Eddie sent his wife; preserved by the Atikokan Museum.
There are many ways to analyze the sentiments of commercialized cards.
To offer an example, scholar Emily West explains that the ready-made statements suggest that people's emotions are universal, and that "the industry can meet the nation's social expression needs by customizing these core insights."[3]
But for many, the meaning of greeting cards comes more from the time spent picking them out, rather than what they say. West states that "much of [the card's] communicative power comes from how they index the time and effort, both emotional and physical, of the sender who must leave their home, enter the marketplace, select the 'right' card, fill it out and mail it."[4]
The sentiments that Eddie chose to express to his wife through greeting cards were very heartfelt. Giving cards to Wassy was something that appeared to be very important to him, so he most likely spent time trying to find the 'right' one to capture how he felt.
Wassy kept all of the cards given to her throughout the years, showing her sentimental nature. Of the cards that make up this collection, only a select few were from Wassy to her husband. This could be either because she did not send him as many cards, or for whatever reason those cards were not kept.
The card below sent from Wassy showcases her sense of humour.
Eddie gave his wife many cards throughout their marriage. The last one in the collection is from 1989, a year before his passing.
These artifacts represent a beautiful Atikokan love story, now captured in time for future generations to enjoy.
Happy Valentine's Day from the Atikokan Centennial Museum.
Ps. don't forget to spend time picking out beautiful cards for your partner, as they might end up in the museum one day!

These guys at Brisendine Motors truly made my wife's
and my car buying experience the easiest it's ever been!
First of all, when I called Matt (owner) about the car he
had listed on the internet, he answered all my questions with very deep and
broad car knowledge and I found him to be very honest with me. These are two
things that are hard to find in the used car business at most dealers, so I was
Then, after we drove around 3-hrs. to see the car, we were
not disappointed with either the car or Brisendine Motors. It was a clean, well
kept, 1-owner car that was priced very competitively. My wife really liked the
car, Matt valued my trade-in car fairly,
and we arrived on a mutually beneficial price difference that got my
wife in the car within a very short time-frame.
My wife even commented to Matt how laid back and low pressure the
process was and she told him it was one of the very few car-buying experiences
she has ever enjoyed. She also commented on Brisendine's office having
a very laid back, "homey" feel that looks more like
someone's den, with a TV, fridge
full of soft drinks and water, that makes
you feel relaxed and taken good car of.
Matt's partner, Barry, was great too, as he was
quick with the paperwork and we were on our road trip home in my wife's
new car in a very short while. I don't leave many reviews, but my wife
and I had such a pleasant time buying our car from Matt and Brisendine Motors
that I wanted to let others know that you can trust these guys and they are
definitely worth the drive to Helena, AL to see their nice used car inventory.
Also, I noticed Matt had a lot of good looking late model
trucks on his lot when we bought my wife's car, so I've now got
him scouting his dealer sites for a truck (4Runner) for my son. That is a
testament to my positive experience with Brisendine Motors, that I'm
planning on possibly buying a 2nd car (truck) from him. They are worth a visit if you see a car you
like on their website! Thanks Matt, and thanks Barry!
At Brisendine Automotive we are proud of the quality used cars we sell and our dedication to serve the needs of our customers. This is reflected in the amount of repeat business we receive. Whether this is your first purchase with us or one of many that you've had, you can count on our dedicated sales staff to make it the best buying experience possible.
I hereby consent to receive text messages from or on behalf of dealer at the mobile phone number I provided above. I understand that I am opting in to receive text messages from dealer or their employees. I include consent to receive phone calls at the mobile phone number I provided. I understand that message and data rates may apply.

Serena Williams gave birth to a baby daughter, Alexis Olympia Ohanian Jr on September 1st this year. The last match even gave us the vibe of being the perfect bookend for a legendary like her.
Williams had won the victory against sister Venus in the seventh Australian Open while she was still in her first trimester.
Now four months after her delivery, the 23 grand slam trophies proud owner let the world know of her return to the game by outing a statement,
"I'm delighted to be returning to the court in Abu Dhabi for the first time since the birth of my daughter in September."
She is set to play against the 20 years old Latvian, Jelena Ostapenko at the World Tennis Championship in Abu Dhabi. Jelena is a French Open champion.
While this is their first match facing each other as opponents, the match itself will be the first time women will be playing in the event.
Since the championship is a men's singles professional and is now sponsored by Mubadala.
Many tennis players have made greater achievements after being a mother. Evonne Goolagong was one of such, becoming the first mother, to win Wimbledon in the year 1980. Before her, Dorothea Lambert Chambers had become the Wimbledon winner, 66 years earlier.
Not saying that Williams has anything left to prove, but let's see what new paradigms she will set for the upcoming generations.

The Best Advice About Services I've Ever Written
All You Need to Know About Arm Lifts.
Surgery with the aim to improve your appearance has become increasingly popular and this goes for arms as well and as you get older the skin loses elasticity and folds. When you begin to lose this elasticity, flaps on your arms form and can be quite embarrassing to look at. These things can hurt your confidence and some people will stop wearing short sleeves as a result of the embarrassing situation. These types of thing are hard to lose from simple diet and exercise alone, especially if you're older or overweight. Fat folds and that sagging skin hanging off your arm are the result of getting older and occasionally extreme weight loss. When you lose a large amount of weight skin begins to sag in an embarrassing way, this can also effect other areas of the body. Arm lift surgery can be quite effective in getting rid of that loose extra skin and lead to a great increase in self esteem.
When it comes to this type of surgery make sure to try and learn as much as you can before you decide to go through an arm lift surgery. The procedure itself is relatively simple and takes only a couple hours and has minimal rate of recovery. The hospital stay you have depends on the person and can vary greatly based on the size and severity of the incision made. More severe cases of excess skin require incision from the elbow to the armpit which might seem large, but most aren't that severe. The possibility of scarring is always there, but most people find the scars quite acceptable and generally go away with time, or simple scar removal procedures.
The arm lift surgery is performed under full sedation and it depends on the length of the operation and amount of skin. They may place drains in to help improve the healing process, which will be removed after the surgery is over, this is to assist in the surgery. This is relatively safe as long as you are using a well established surgeon who is well experienced with this type of procedure and has a goof amount of reviews from past patients. Of course, complications are possible but the chances are small, but it's important to know that they include things like nerve damage, infection and haematoma. Talk with the surgeon prior to the procedure and discuss the operation and what results to expect and how long your recovery might take.
A Beginners Guide To Surgeries
After the surgery is complete the area will be bandaged for better healing and increased blood flow. They often recommend special compression bandages to help put pressure on the site and deal with the possible pain and swelling of the area. Painkillers will be prescribed for a few weeks as you heal to help with the pain. Strenuous activity should be avoided in the few weeks after the procedure to promote recovery and not risk tears in the stitches.Why No One Talks About Professionals Anymore

Legal Informations & CGU
Charter GDPR
The little town with its 5,000 inhabitants, in which this property stands, has everything to be found in a large one including infrastructures, a SNCF train station and a bus service, providing 50-minute links to Paris-La-Défense. The train goes to Saint-Lazare. Mantes-la-Jolie is some 15 km away, Vernon is 10 km away and Evreux 30 km away. The birthplace of impressionism, in the Vexin region, is close by. All shops are within walking distance. An attractive, recently renovated square, hosts a market every Sunday morning.
Building no. 1
This old precision engineering factory, constructed in the 1950's, closed down in the 1980's.
It was then used by the town for miscellaneous storage purposes as well as serving a noble cause: "Restos du Coeur", a French food distribution charity. The current owners have developed an artistic project there, creating 526 m² of living space at the same time.
A gamble that has paid off insofar as the architecture characteristic of this type of factory, with its sheds, vast surface glazed areas and metal beams, has been preserved, right down to the original green colour! An exceptional atmosphere reigns throughout as of the very entrance. 462 m² still awaits reconversion.
Building no. 2
Completely separate from building no. 1, this construction stands facing the latter, near to the garden.
Our opinion
Those who consider themselves totally indifferent to industrial architecture would be well advised to visit this property. The transformation of this old factory into living accommodation is a complete success. The glazed walls with their metal framework have created a light-filled cathedral. Its pure lines have been enhanced. The metal stairway is one of those dreamed of in open-plan flats. The open spaces give the impression that residents can breathe better here than anywhere else. And just 60 km from Paris! Even the original revamped colour is unexpectedly cheerful. Vast areas are still available for a multitude of projects once the main aim of settling into such an exceptional home has been achieved.

Culp, Julian (2017). 'The Transnational Model of Democratic Education.' Paper presented at the annual conference of the HDCA, Cape Town 2017.
Nussbaum's philosophical work has contributed tremendously to a more subtle understanding of moral cosmopolitanism and its practical implications in a wide array of policy areas. In this article I describe how her cosmopolitanism informs her capability-based theory of justice, and how she uses this theory in order to develop a distinctive model of cosmopolitan democratic education. I characterize Nussbaum's educational model as a "statist model." It regards cosmopolitan democratic education as necessary for realizing domestically democratic arrangements. The socio-cultural diversity of virtually every nation, Nussbaum argues, renders it mandatory to educate citizens in a multicultural and cosmopolitan fashion. Citizens must develop empathy and sympathy towards all co-citizens of their domestic polities and cope effectively with socio-cultural diversity. I criticize Nussbaum's statist model, however, because it neglects that due to the ways in which international institutions already constrain national decision-making, citizens will not fully enjoy the human freedom of co-determining the political choices that affect their lives unless international affairs are further democratized. Therefore I suggest extending Nussbaum's statist model and outline an "internationalist model" of cosmopolitan democratic education. Different from Nussbaum's statist model, my internationalist model also demands the formation of an international democratic ethos that enables citizens to partake in international democratic decision-making. I point out three special features of my internationalist model of cosmopolitan democratic education: it requires (1) instilling a considerable amount of sympathy among foreigners, (2) apprehending certain hermeneutic, linguistic and critical-technological skills, and (3) gaining specific and wide-ranging legal and political knowledge about international affairs.

Does the future of fashion belong to activewear? According to London designer Charli Cohen, yes. Combining her love of fashion and fitness, this uber talented designer is part of the new wave of visionaries blurring the line between the practical and the ultra hip.
Activewear has become such big business, is it something you predicted when you first started? Absolutely. I could see the industry changing as I was finishing university and knew that I had to launch CC as quickly as possible to be part of that momentum. I used my final year at university to research, source, create my branding and build out a supply chain, so I was as ready to go as soon as possible when I graduated.
Why do you think activewear has become so popular? Between 2012-2013, mainstream fashion media really started to focus in on health and fitness, dedicating editors to it and creating wellness pages in their magazines. I think this is what kicked off fitness as a status symbol. Aside from this, I think people just need and expect more from what they wear—as well as wanting to be able to spontaneously hit the gym, our lives are busier, we commute more, there is less structure and we want to be prepared. We need clothes that keep up, so wearing activewear as daywear makes sense.
What's different about Charli Cohen? One of the first priorities for me was to ensure we had the best of the best materials to work with, I wanted to break the mould of traditional scratchy shiny activewear fabrics. We work with fabric mills who specialize in putting fashion finishes on Olympic-level performance fabrics which means we have technical polyamides that emulate silk, leather and soft cotton. Our trims come from the same suppliers as Prada and Chanel. As a fashion designer first, but also a certified personal trainer, I'm able to design from both sides. I'll start by designing the clothes I think people would love to wear, then I figure out how to make each item fully technical.
How did you first become involved? I'd always planned to have my own brand and actually started my first—a t-shirt label—when I was 15. I wanted first hand experience of the industry and all the elements of running a fashion business. The decision to pursue activewear specifically came later, whilst I was at university. I loved both fitness and fashion, so the idea of combining them was really exciting and also logical given that it was a growing market.
How has the brand evolved from its first launch? With the limitations of being a new, unfunded brand, I had to keep each collection very concise. For that to be commercial and to establish the brand in this new space, I chose to focus on the more traditionally active styles—bras, tanks, leggings—with a much smaller proportion of ready-to-wear pieces. As time has gone on, I've been able to expand on the technical ready-to-wear side, which I find so exciting, it allows me to be much more creative as a designer.
What do you love about seeing more people develop a love for activewear? I love that health and fitness is cool to the point that people want to embody that in their everyday clothes. It's part of a sustainable movement towards prioritizing health. I also love seeing proof that fashion doesn't have to mean discomfort or impracticality, you can look awesome but still have the freedom to respond to whatever the day throws at you.
What do you see as the future? I think technical fashion is the next step on from activewear—clothes that you wouldn't even know were active because the technology is all in the fabric and construction, rather than in the silhouette and detailing. So you could potentially workout in a tailored trouser rather than a pair of leggings, run for the train without your choice of super-cool daywear holding you back or fly long haul looking perfectly put together, in total comfort with no creasing. I think it'll be all about clothes to live in and do anything in, without being sport-specific or leisure-specific. Charli-Cohen.com — ANASTASIA RUBIN
