Traditionally known as “Anishinabe”, Algonquin people are the original inhabitants of the wide swath of territory along the Ottawa River on which Algonquin College’s campuses in Ottawa, Pembroke, and Perth now sit. To honour and recognize the Algonquin People, the college adopted the name Algonquin when it was founded in 1967. In Algonquin culture, it is appropriate for guests to acknowledge the hospitality of their hosts when entering their territory. With this tradition in mind, Algonquin College respectfully thanks the Algonquin people for hosting us on their ancestral lands; both today during this ceremony and each day on our campuses in Ottawa, Perth, and Pembroke. Meegwetch (thank you). Algonquin College is proud of its strong partnership with the First Nation, Métis, or Inuit communities and organizations with whom we share the common goal of supporting Indigenous learners as they strive for academic and career success. This partnership is realized in many ways, one of which is through Algonquin College’s Indigenous Education Council (IEC). This council brings members of First Nation communities and organizations together with Algonquin College leaders and students to identify the unique needs of our Indigenous learners and to work together to meet those needs. The members of Algonquin College’s Indigenous Education Council for 2021-2022 were as follows: Peter Decontie, Elder, Kitigan Zibi Anishinabeg First Nation Della Meness, Manager of Education Services, Algonquins of Pikwàkanagàn First Nation Anita Tenasco, Director, Kitigan Zibi Education Sector, Kitigan Zibi Anishinabeg First Nation Amanda Kilabuk , Manager, Employment Services, Tungasuvvingat Inuit Elaine Jeffery, Employment and Training Coordinator, Métis Nation of Ontario Veronica Jacobs, Post-Secondary Manager, Ahkwesàhsne Mohawk Board of Education Robert Jerome, Education Counsellor, Urban Aboriginal Alternate High School Program, Odawa Ron McLester, Algonquin College Andre O’Bonsawin, Algonquin College Sherryl Fraser, Algonquin College 4 ALGONQUIN COLLEGE CONVOCATION 2021 As a result of these partnerships, Algonquin College maintains a strong commitment to the over 1,100 learners of First Nation, Métis, and Inuit heritage who attend our institute each year. Algonquin offers high quality programs and services reflective of Indigenous culture and values; such as the Mamidosewin Indigenous Student Centre, the Pathways to Indigenous Empowerment Program, the Indigenous Studies Program and the Indigenous Pre-Apprentice Cook Program. Algonquin College is honoured that so many First Nation, Métis, and Inuit learners choose to join the College community.

Born and raised in Ottawa, Ruddy graduated from Carleton University in 1975 and worked for two years as an architect in Toronto before deciding he preferred the development industry. He spent the next 15 years in Toronto developing shopping malls. In 1992, Ruddy brought his knowledge of the business back to Ottawa to found Trinity. For nearly 30 years, the company has developed retail shopping centres and mixed-use properties from the Maritimes to Alberta. That includes local projects such as South Keys,

  • “Whiskey in the Jar”: History and Transformation of a Classic Irish Song Masters Thesis Presented in Partial Fulfillment Of
    “Whiskey in the Jar”: History and Transformation of a Classic Irish Song Masters Thesis Presented in partial fulfillment of the requirements for the degree of Master of Arts in the Graduate School of The Ohio State University By Dana DeVlieger, B.A., M.A. Graduate Program in Music The Ohio State University 2016 Thesis Committee: Graeme M. Boone, Advisor Johanna Devaney Anna Gawboy Copyright by Dana Lauren DeVlieger 2016 Abstract “Whiskey in the Jar” is a traditional Irish song that is performed by musicians from many different musical genres. However, because there are influential recordings of the song performed in different styles, from folk to punk to metal, one begins to wonder what the role of the song’s Irish heritage is and whether or not it retains a sense of Irish identity in different iterations. The current project examines a corpus of 398 recordings of “Whiskey in the Jar” by artists from all over the world. By analyzing acoustic markers of Irishness, for example an Irish accent, as well as markers of other musical traditions, this study aims explores the different ways that the song has been performed and discusses the possible presence of an “Irish feel” on recordings that do not sound overtly Irish. ii Dedication Dedicated to my grandfather, Edward Blake, for instilling in our family a love of Irish music and a pride in our heritage iii Acknowledgments I would like to thank my advisor, Graeme Boone, for showing great and enthusiasm for this project and for offering advice and support throughout the process. I would also like to thank Johanna Devaney and Anna Gawboy for their valuable insight and ideas for future directions and ways to improve.

  • Predictive Direct Flux Control—A New Control Method of Voltage Source Inverters in Distributed Generation Applications
    energies Article Predictive Direct Flux Control—A New Control Method of Voltage Source Inverters in Distributed Generation Applications Jiefeng Hu Department of Electrical Engineering, The Hong Kong Polytechnic University, Hong Kong, China; [email protected]; Tel.: +852-2766-6140 Academic Editor: Frede Blaabjerg Received: 16 February 2017; Accepted: 21 March 2017; Published: 23 March 2017 Abstract: Voltage source inverters (VSIs) have been widely utilized in electric drives and distributed generations (DGs), where electromagnetic torque, currents and voltages are usually the control objectives. The inverter flux, defined as the integral of the inverter voltage, however, is seldom studied. Although a conventional flux control approach has been developed, it presents major drawbacks of large flux ripples, leading to distorted inverter output currents and large power ripples. This paper proposes a new control strategy of VSIs by controlling the inverter flux. To improve the system’s steady-state and transient performance, a predictive control scheme is adopted. The flux amplitude and flux angle can be well regulated by choosing the optimum inverter control action according to formulated selection criteria. Hence, the inverter flux can be controlled to have a specified magnitude and a specified position relative to the grid flux with less ripples. This results in a satisfactory line current performance with a fast transient response. The proposed predictive direct flux control (PDFC) method is tested in a 3 MW high-power grid-connected VSI system in the MATLAB/Simulink environment, and the results demonstrate its effectiveness. Keywords: voltage source inverter (VSI); predictive control; inverter flux 1. Introduction Pulse width modulation (PWM) voltage source inverters (VSIs) have been widely used in power electronics, and their control has been extensively studied in the last decades.

    PRESS KIT Switch4Good is a nonprofit organization dedicated to helping people make the switch ​ away from dairy and toward plant-based fuel in order to achieve sustained wellness and exceed their daily performance goals. Our growing community is comprised of athletes, medical professionals, scientists, and every day active folk who have experienced firsthand the benefits of ditching dairy in 4 key aspects of our lives: Improved Health, Enhanced Performance, Planetary Responsibility, and Food Justice. With the use of digital media, and grassroots campaigns—as well as an expansive collection educational tools—we help anyone interested in transitioning to dairy-free realize their true potential on a diet that does not include cows’ milk. We motivate people through education and anecdotal inspiration. We provide a trusted and engaging community of positive, constant support to help people along their dairy-free journey and speak their truth. Our Motto: Live Better. Do More. Dairy-Free. *** Below you will find talking points that speak to some of the biggest implications of dairy, from health to athletic performance. For media inquires and photo requests, and to speak with Dotsie Bausch, please email Media Director Jasmin Singer at [email protected]. ​ ​ What’s Wrong WIth Dairy? Women’s Health Cancer: ● Cows’ milk can increase the risk of ovarian cancer twofold ● Cows’ milk increases our levels of circulating IGF-1 which can promote tumors and increase the risk for breast cancer Hormones: ● 60-80% of the estrogen we consume comes from cows’ milk ● In pregnant women, milk consumption increases serum levels of IGF-1, birth weight, and neonatal size Bones: ● Research has found that women consuming the USDA “recommended” 3+ glasses per day had a whopping 60% greater hip fracture rate.
