Community supported agriculture serves as site to explore this. Thought for Food The typical article of food on a North American's plate travels about 1,300 km to get there, which is something like a tenfold increase in the past 50 years. The energy in calories that goes into preserving, packaging, and transporting the food item may far exceeded the energy in calories that goes into the person who eats

Our world is in the midst of an unprecedented transformation. No one knows what is going to happen next, but for these five days we are here as a community to discuss, to learn, to resolve and to support each other as professionals who share a commitment to improve the lives of older adults and their families. As you will see in the pages of this book, programs throughout the Aging in America Conference will touch upon issues faced by all professionals in aging, from caregiving to aging policy. If you are concerned about what is going on at the national level in the U.S. there are several sessions that will interest you, including a new National Forum: A Message to the President, a highlighted session that takes an in-depth look at older voters, and our popular annual session, Panel of Pundits. See page 16 for a selection of policy programs. We have also brought back our Managed Care Academy for the second year.
  • Banking: Reading

    Banking: Reading

    Banking: Reading The concept of banking may have been a good one initially but I can’t help feeling that in today’s world there are less people benefiting. Of course it’s good to know that your money is safe and sound, but it does seem strange to pay an organization for having your money when they make a profit from this. The charges nowadays in some banks (and different banks in different countries vary enormously) are incredible. Some charge for an overdraft facility even if you don’t go overdrawn, some charge every time you take money out (your money!) while others charge for closing an account! If you’re not careful, it’s a way of losing money rather than keeping it safe. Perhaps because of this there are some interesting alternative money systems. In fact there are some banks that don’t use money at all. Time banks are an example of this. Instead of Pounds, Dollars, Euros etc., the currency is ‘time’ – issued in the form of time credits. As this is an egalitarian system, everyone’s time is valued equally so one time credit is equivalent of one hour’s work, whatever the work. The idea is that whenever you do something to help another person you are given a time credit for this rather than cash. So, for example, if you spend an hour looking after the kids next door you’ll be given one time credit. This you can then spend on an hour’s yoga class or having your front door painted.

    Holy Homophobia: Doctrinal Disciplining of Non-Heterosexuals in Canadian Catholic Schools

    HOLY HOMOPHOBIA: DOCTRINAL DISCIPLINING OF NON-HETEROSEXUALS IN CANADIAN CATHOLIC SCHOOLS by Tonya Callaghan A thesis submitted in conformity with the requirements for the degree of Doctor of Philosophy Graduate Department of Curriculum, Teaching & Learning Ontario Institute for Studies in Education University of Toronto @ Copyright by Tonya Callaghan 2012 HOLY HOMOPHOBIA: DOCTRINAL DISCIPLINING OF NON-HETEROSEXUALS IN CANADIAN CATHOLIC SCHOOLS Doctor of Philosophy 2012 Tonya Callaghan Graduate Department of Curriculum, Teaching & Learning University of Toronto Abstract In 2012 clashes between Catholic canonical law and Canadian common law regarding sexual minorities continue to be played out in Canadian Catholic schools. Although Section 15 of the Canadian Charter of Rights and Freedoms ensures same-sex equality in Canada, this study shows that some teachers in Alberta Catholic schools are fired for contravening Catholic doctrine about non-heterosexuality, while Ontario students’ requests to establish Gay/Straight Alliances are denied. This study seeks to uncover the causes and effects of the long-standing disconnect between Canadian Catholic schools and the Charter by comparing the treatment of and attitudes towards lesbian, gay, bisexual, transgender and queer (lgbtq) teachers and students in publicly-funded Catholic school systems in the provinces of Alberta and Ontario. I employ a multi-method qualitative research framework involving: 1) semi-structured interviews with 20 participants (7 current and former teachers and 13 former
