As usual, the articles and notes are followed by the written summary of the 2013 Ontario butterfly records that have been submitted by our many contributors. Data for all records of all species received for 2013 (much more data than can be included in the printed summary!) are included in a table available to TEA members as PDF files from Colin Jones (see contact information below). For any members without a computer, simply contact Colin, he will be more than happy to send you a printed copy of the tables. The contents of this publication have been checked for errors and accuracy as much as possible. Please notify us of any corrections of errors or omissions, and these will be included in future issues of Ontario Lepidoptera and incorporated into the database. Pages 79 to 81 below show the correspondence between the plant names used in this publication and those in VASCAN – the Database of Vascular Plants of Canada. It is a comprehensive list of all vascular plants reported in Canada, Greenland (Denmark) and Saint Pierre and Miquelon (France). VASCAN is widely accepted by botanists as the current authority for Canadian botanical taxonomy: http://data.canadensys.net/vascan/search Work on the compilation and production of Ontario Lepidoptera 2014 has already begun but we will be accepting additional records, notes and photographs from the 2014 season until January 31, 2015.

Mann), from McGregor PP, Bruce should have been from McKeough CA, Lambton: pg. 38, Giant Swallowtail, May 25 pg. 57, Spring Azure, March 25 pg. 73, Common Buckeye, May 2 pg. 80, Monarch, May 2 pg. 25 – Zarucco Duskywing – the most recent record was given as 1999. This record was rescinded some years ago by the observer, Barry Harrison; it was based only on an observation, with no clear photograph. This means that there is only one record of that species in Ontario, a specimen in the Canadian National Collection, collected at Rouge River, Toronto in 1935. pg. 34 – Broad-winged Skipper – line 10, this record is not a new county record for Kawartha Lakes as this species is recorded almost every year during the Carden Butterfly Count. These records are not, however, in the Ontario Butterfly Atlas database, thus the confusion. pg. 36 – Common Roadside Skipper – the first two records were in May, not June: on May 6 at Twin Lakes, Peterborough (RJY, Bob Yukich) and on May 7 on Mountain Road, Lennox and Addington (DaE, JoH, David Edwards and John Hall). pg. 38 – Black Swallowtail – line 1, the initials JQe should be JeQ (Jenna Quinn). pg. 39 – Eastern Tiger Swallowtail – line 16, the initials RKY should have been RJY (Bob Yukich). pg. 47 – Sleepy Orange – last line, the initials NBR should have been MBR (Marianne B. Reed). pg. 51 – Juniper Hairstreak – line 3, no observers were listed for the observation on Pelee Island. They were MVB and KBu (Mike and Ken Burrell). pg. 61 – Aphrodite Fritillary – no date was given for the latest observation; it was on September 1 pg. 62 – Silver Bordered Fritillary – last two lines: on September 15 four were reported from Point Pelee. These were in fact Silver-spotted Skippers. The Silver-bordered Fritillary has never been reported from the Park. pg. 64 – Pearl Crescent – page 2: one of the observers was listed as JH. It should have been JeHa (Jeff Harrison). pg. 68 – Compton Tortoiseshell – two of the March 16 records were really just one: Bellamy Ravine is the old name for the Doris McCarthy

  • Who Is Watching out for the Ottawa River?
    Who Is Watching Out for the Ottawa River? Professor Benidickson CML 3351 369567 April 28 2000 George Brown AContradictions in human behavior are evident throughout the region. There are beautiful farms and ravaged riverbanks; decimated forests and landscaped community parks; chemical and nuclear waste oozing toward the river and conscientious children cleaning highways. In Canada, extremes in river levels that prevent the existence of both natural ecologies and human enterprises are caused by dams built primarily to meet US energy needs. Diverse and contradictory possibilities appear for the river region of the future: economic stability, ecological integrity and sustainability if people take seriously their responsibilities for God=s earth; ecological disaster and economic depression if current practices remain unchangedY@1 The above quotation, is taken from a statement by the US and Canadian Catholic Bishops concerning the Columbia River. Entitled The Columbia River Watershed: Realities and Possibilities, it was meant to remind citizens on both sides of the border, that Awe humans do not live alone in the Columbia watershed. We share our habitat with other lives, members of the community of life B what scientists call the biotic community B who relate to us as fellow inhabitants of the watershed, as fellow members of the web of life.@2 This paper is not about the Columbia River, it is about the Ottawa River. (Ottawa) What I found interesting about the first quotation is that you could very easily have applied it to the Ottawa River, as well as many other rivers throughout North America. I intend to examine the Ottawa from the perspective mentioned above, that it is a river that can have a future characterized by economic stability, ecological integrity, and sustainability, if we take seriously our responsibilities as citizens.

  • Ceramics from Wet-Processing of Martian Soil Simulant Using Slip Casting Or Additive Manufacturing for In-Situ Resource Utilization
    DOI: 10.13009/EUCASS2019-769 Ceramics from wet-processing of Martian soil simulant using slip casting or Additive Manufacturing for in-situ resource utilization on Mars David Karl # *, Franz Kamutzki*, Andrea Zocca**, Pedro Lima**, Oliver Goerke*, Jens Guenster** and Aleksander Gurlo* * Fachgebiet Keramische Werkstoffe / Chair of Advanced Ceramic Materials, TU Berlin, Germany. ** Bundesanstalt für Materialforschung und –prüfung (BAM), Berlin, Germany. # Corresponding author. E-mail: [email protected] Abstract For future colonization of Planet Mars, the most realistic approach for the production of parts on site is in situ resource utilization (ISRU). In this study, we demonstrate the feasibility of this concept by producing objects of varying complexity exclusively using resources that can be found on the surface of Mars. The established production routes using slip casting and Additive Manufacturing via wet- processing of Mars simulant material are simple, robust and easily transferable even to the harsh conditions on Mars. After sintering our slip cast parts have mechanical properties comparable to commercially available porcelain, making them suitable for everyday use. 1. Introduction A promising concept for the exploration and subsequent colonization of Moon and Mars is in-situ resource utilization (ISRU) - collecting, processing and storing of native materials that are encountered during human or robotic space exploration [1]. Early colonization scenarios suggest the direct use of rock-covering loose granular surface media (including dust, soil and rubble) consisting of various oxide minerals called lunar and Mars regoliths. The chemical composition of lunar and Mars regolith makes the extraction of metals and ceramics conceivable. The availability of ceramic tools is an important prerequisite for melting regolith in blast furnaces and bloomeries for the production of base metals.

  • Pathway Network for Canada's Capital Region 2006 Strategic Plan PLANI
    Pathway Network for Canada’s Capital Region 2006 Strategic Plan PLANI-CITÉ i June 2006 Pathway Network for Canada’s Capital Region 2006 Strategic Plan THE VISION The National Capital Commission (NCC) and its partners propose the following as a framework for the planning and development of the Capital Pathway network for the next 10 years: Multi-purpose use The Capital Pathway network covers Canada’s Capital Region in its entirety. It is a multi-purpose recreational and tourist network, which also supports non-motorized commuting vocations. Accessibility and safety The network extends to and links natural and built areas. Through its layout and design standards, the network encourages a quality user experience and accessibility, emphasizing the recognition of the “Green Capital”, and highlighting symbolic points of interest within the Capital. The network provides access to waterways, green spaces, cultural and heritage features while supporting the protection of natural areas and offering a wide range of easily accessible services. User education and awareness programs targeting pathway sharing in a respectful and tolerant manner result in a safe and pleasant experience. Connectivity The network, through its linkage with local cycling routes and regional/national trails, is connected to other non-motorized transportation networks within the region to encourage sustainable transportation and forms a key component of Canada’s Capital recreational and cycling experience. Recognition The network, as a result of its multi use vocation, its extensive and far reaching system of pathways and connection with regional, provincial and national trails and pathways within and outside Canada’s Capital Region as well as the quality of the experience is regarded as one of North America’s best.
