Whereas last year's ancillary fees were tied directly to new projects the University of Winnipeg was pursuing, and 2004/05's 15 per cent increase for international students was justified by U of W administration with promises of increased resources, the recent round of increases could offer neither the projects for which the fees will be specifically used, nor the departments that would benefit from the added cost to students. And so, this is less a commentary about whether or not the university needs the money. These discussions dissolve all too quickly as objective opinions backed up by sound, detailed evidence are scarce, if not impossible to find. Students aren't, at this point, protected from ancillary fee increases by the freeze policy, and regrettably so. Just as worrisome: With ...

The backwater valve is simply a one-way valve installed in the drainpipe, beneath the basement floor slab, that allows material to flow from the house drain to the sewer pipe outside, but not in the reverse direction. This should prevent sewage from backing up through your basement bathroom drains and the basement catch basin floor drain, should the city sewer become blocked. If this occurs during a heavy rainstorm, as is often the case, the excess rainwater will overflow from the catch basin into the sump pit. To allow this to work properly, there should be a short pipe installed just below the surface of the basement floor slab that connects the sump pit to the catch basin. The best arrangements that I see with late-installation sump pumps incorporate one or more of the existing weepi...

These changes are not permanent," archdiocese spokesman James Buchok said. "They're just during times of risk. We wanted to put them in place at the beginning of cold and flu season. It's not as if we will never shake hands again for the passing of the peace. "I had the hand-sanitizing stations up a couple of months ago," [Sam Argenziano] said. "With the holy water fonts, I think it is something people are used to, but once you explain stagnant water holds germs, they'll realize it is here until it passes." Acknowledging the public skepticism about the upcoming H1N1 vaccination campaign, Canada's obstetricians and gynecologists are mounting an information blitz aimed at pregnant women. Posters and fact sheets are being sent to hospitals, clinics and doctor's offices. Physicians are be...
Justification for the use of chemicals is that Winnipeg's clay soil doesn't drain quickly leaving stagnant pools, ideal breeding ground for the pests. So the argument goes, Winnipeg is unusually fertile ground for mosquitoes and unusual action must be taken. Ideal conditions for fogging are exceptional. Wind and temperature must be within specified narrow ranges. The spectacle of fogging trucks thundering in the night is an eerie one. And it is for the most part useless. Vegetation and buildings act as barriers and receive a large percentage of the malathion. A droplet must hit a mosquito to be effective and following the fogging, mosquitoes may fly in from elsewhere. The ultimate goal of the entomology department is to demolish the mosquitoes before they become adults. This is accompli...

Dr. Susan Roberecki, Manitoba's deputy chief medical officer of health, said a large number of Culex tarsalis mosquitoes caught in traps at the West St. Paul site were infected with the West Nile virus. Roberecki said the number of infected mosquitoes caught in the other areas was extremely low, and the numbers don't warrant fogging in those areas now. The Culex tarsalis mosquito is the main carrier of the West Nile virus, usually picking it up after biting an infected bird. The virus gets passed on to humans when an infected mosquito bites a person. In most cases, people who contract the virus don't show any symptoms. For most who do, the symptoms are mild and flu-like with fever, headache and body aches. In severe cases, the virus can lead to encephalitis, an inflammation of the linin...

Due to the age of your home, the weeping tiles are likely terminating and draining into the sump pit, often located under the basement stairs. Remove the cover from the pit and look inside. If the cover is loose or missing and the water inside is dirty or stagnant, this may be an ideal location for the insects to breed. They may enter the sump pit through the weeping tile and the soil that these plastic pipes drain. If this appears to be the cause, then cleaning out this area and completely sealing the cover may prevent further infestations. If the basement and carpet is generally dry with no concerns for moisture intrusion, then there may be one or two other areas where the bugs are coming from. First, check the basement floor drain, often located near the furnace in a newer home like ...
In order to understand Canada as a nation, one has to trace Britain's colonial history, the mapping of "Canada," and the making of it as a British nation, for as Jane M. Jacobs notes, space exists within the context of imperialism and is "formed out of the cohabitation of variously empowered people and the meanings they ascribed to localities and places" (Jacobs, 1996, p. 5). The Canadian nation has actively built a history that begins with discovery, as if it were a land of empty wilderness before British arrival. The colonial project was to create and solidify a "history of whiteness" in Canada in order to legitimize colonial rule. Nativist discourses were drawn on to create the idea of a native Anglo-Canadian people, and to "naturalize British ideas about law, the state and religion"...

NT: Think of qi as blood -- where there's blood there's qi and where there's qi, there's blood. Obviously, the better the blood flow, the healthier you are -- the faster your metabolism, etc... Qi should flow like fresh water in a river. If your qi's not flowing, it's like a stagnant pond. Also reduce your stress. It's huge. I worked as a photographer on a cruise ship where most of the passengers were seniors, and one thing I noticed is that they were constantly stressing about tours and things like that. They're on vacation, for crying out loud, and they're stressing. Taoists used a lot of herbal remedies to cure colds and stuff like that, and I was going to put some down in the book. But then I said, "In honesty I've never gotten sick, so I shouldn't include anything I haven't used.
