The Salmon Purse Seine - Competition and Information Among
Sunday, August 30th, 2009 | Education |
In British Columbia, Canada, salmon purse seiners line up at fishing access points, forming well defined queues. These queues were measured over time, using a one-dimensional recording scale. Sixty-one overflights of Johnstone Strait and Queen Charlotte Strait were attempted; 51 flights were completed. Two models were presented for exploitation rates in relation to queuing patterns. The overflight model was fit to the line-up distributions. One underlying assumption was that the ...› Continue reading

Saturday, August 29th, 2009 | Travel |
As a family, we have been visiting Orlando since 1998, where we have stayed in numerous hotels on the US192 in Kissimmee. Anyone who has visited Orlando will know that there is never a shortage of affordable and clean accommodation in this area. We decided to spread our wings a little and make the most of our holidays in Florida. So our third trip involved renting a private villa.

The Power of Praise
Thursday, August 27th, 2009 | Education |
I could write a very inspiring essay about how powerful praise is in teaching. The stereotypical truth is, in the primary grades, in private and parochial schools, in 'good' public schools, praise is one of the most important tools we have to motivate, and inspire, and promote success. However, I don't want to ignore the fact that teaching and teachers exist in the inner-city, in impoverished areas where they lack the resources, the support, the parental involvement, and most importantly ...› Continue reading
Local Explorations - Hello from Lake Ontario's Waterfront Trail
Wednesday, August 26th, 2009 | Travel |
In our neck of the woods the summer has been absolutely gorgeous, a little on the hot and humid side occasionally, but I am unable to recall a summer that has been so warm and sunny as this summer of 2005. The weekend before last I just felt like exploring the local area a little bit and since I was unable to pry my husband away from watching some of the season's first football games, I struck out on my own and laid out an itinery for a little local discovery. I've said it before - this website ...› Continue reading
Travel and Tourism in Sierra Leone is a Hot Topic!
Tuesday, August 25th, 2009 | Travel |
Until a few days ago, if you had asked me to tell you about Sierra Leone, I would have had to think long and hard to tell you much about this West African country. I could probably have explained roughly where the country is located. I may have mentioned something about the slave trade being connected to Sierra Leone. I could certainly have told you that they had experienced a brutal civil war. I might even have admitted that I wasn't entirely sure whether the war was 100% over. And ...› Continue reading
Paradigm Engineering and History
Monday, August 24th, 2009 | Education |
Those who try to define or somehow limit spirituality end up ignoring its nature and those who accept it blindly assign it virtues beyond its purpose. It is not just religion or metaphysical science which concerns mankind as we try to make sense of our present and future potential to address the ethics and technologies that could allow real growth and movement away from our history of destructive acts that develop warfare rather than our total potential as life on Earth. Here is a case ...› Continue reading
Kimberley - a diamond in the wilderness!
Saturday, August 22nd, 2009 | Travel |
On the border of the Northern Cape and Free State, 177km west of Bloemfontein, lies Kimberley, the capital of the of the Northern Cape. When you think of Kimberley and its Diamond fields, it is easy to imagine a wonderland of romance and riches. And yet, the reality is that Kimberley and its surrounds are mostly dry and uninspiring; it is unlikely that the city will again experience the glamour and importance that it had for two decades at the end of the 19th century. For this reason, many ...› Continue reading

African Smiles
Monday, August 17th, 2009 | Travel |
Home of the hundred-mile smile. That was the name of a portrait I found painted by Stephen Bennett. It was a glorious painting, quite captivating. A young woman from Botswana, her skin luxuriously dark, smiles disarmingly at the photographer who captures her. Mr Bennett has super-imposed streaks of colour over her, not disguising her but enhancing her. Every shadow ripples with colour. Her smile hardly seems static, her eyes are alive. The moment I saw the painting, I knew that it symbolised ...› Continue reading
