THOUGHTS FOR YOUR FIELD TRIPPING Nature can, and will, recycle nearly anything we leave on her doorstep -­ but it takes an astonishingly long time. orange peel ••• 2 weeks to 6 months; ordinary paper, •• 6 months to 2 years; plastic-coated paper ••• l to 5 years; plastic bags ••• 10 to 20 years; camera film ••• 20 to 30 years; nylon fabric or rope ••• 30 to 40 years; old boot soles, •• 50 to 80 years; aluminum cans and pull tabs ••• 80 to 100 years. So next time you are in the woods and fields on a field trip, pocket your trash and, while you are at it, please pick up the cans or bottles that someone else has discarded. fr001 the "PinkDolaniteSaddle", ''The Qri.ppings~ and others in SIRATA MTA, 1989 (Sc. Gem & Min. Club) TFN 409 - 5 COLD WEATHER CLOTHING GUIDE 1. The innermost layer should carry the perspiration away from the skin. Polypropylene,silk, or thin fine wool are best. Polypropylene is a fabric knitted of woven plastic filament. It is used in undergarments because it does not absorb moisture, so perspiration wicks away from the skin to evaporate and the wearer feels warmer. It is light and dries quickly. The more traditional fabric for winter undergarments is wool. Wool can absorb up to 30% of its weight before you'll feel wet, and even when thoroughly soaked, it still provides insulation. To get rid of the wool's scratchy feeling, try rinsing it in cold water with just a dash of olive oil. 2. Polypropylene or lightweight wool socks make a good inner layer for your feet. Avoid cotton. Not only does cotton chill your feet, but damp cotton socks allow your feet to slide inside your boots causing blisters. Heavy wool outer socks reinforced with nylon will wear well and keep your feet comfortably warm. 3. Next should come a combination of clothing to provide the most insulation and best temperature control. Knitted wool and fast drying synthetic pile garments are most popular. Adjust the number of layers to match your activity level and the temperature. A lightweight wool turtleneck, a medium-to-heavy weight wool shirt or sweater, or an insulated vest, might be added. If you get too hot, strip off one of the middle layers and tie it around your waist. 4. Next should be wool knickers or pants. They are warm and will not readily become wet from melting snow. Pants can be made from 60/40 cloth (nylon/cotton), which provides some water resistance and an excellent windbreak. 5. The outer layer of clothing protects you from the weather. Choose a lightweight windproof, and water-repellent shell that "breathes". Nylon shells should be avoided in spite of their windproof qualities. You may be dry on the outside but soaked and chilled on the inside. 6. If your feet are cold, put on a hat!! Up to 70% of your body heat is lost through the top of your head. A tightly knit wool hat that covers your ears is best. For those of you bothered by wool, try an acrylic knit, but remember that it will not be as warm as wool. 7. Last of all come the mitts. For cold days, a two-layered mitt is best. The inner ·_ core should be made from wool or wool-acrylic blend for maximum insulation; the outer of nylon blends to provide windproofing. On warmer days, gloves may be worn. 8. As for footwear, make sure your boots leave plenty of space around your toes. 9. Sunglasses are important to protect your eyes from snowblindness. adapted from "Cold Weather Survival Guide" by Grant Viponal in the Saugeen Field Naturalists NEWSLEITIR, Jan./Feb. 1990 TFN 409 - 6 KEEPING IN TOUCH November 8, 1989 You asked about our fish, and that's a long tale. There has been a very heavy run (swim?) of chinook salmon up the Sydenham River, a consequence of the river's being stocked several years ago by a sportsmen's club, with MNR approval.

  • Dual-Economy Growth, Trade, and Development
    STRUCTURAL CHANGE AND INCOME DIFFERENCES by Trevor Tombe A thesis submitted in conformity with the requirements for the degree of Doctor of Philosophy Graduate Department of Economics University of Toronto Copyright c 2011 by Trevor Tombe Abstract Structural Change and Income Differences Trevor Tombe Doctor of Philosophy Graduate Department of Economics University of Toronto 2011 Economic growth and development is intimately related to the decline of agriculture’s share of output and employment. This process of structural change has important implications for income and pro- ductivity differences between regions within a country or between countries themselves. Agriculture typically has low productivity relative to other sectors and this is particularly true in poor areas. So, as labour switches to nonagricultural activities or as agricultural productivity increases, poor agriculturally- intensive areas will benefit the most. In this thesis, I contribute to a recent and growing line of research and incorporate a separate role for agriculture, both into modeling frameworks and data analysis, to examine income and productivity differences. I first demonstrate that restrictions on trade in agricultural goods, which support inefficient domestic producers, inhibit structural change and lower productivity in poor countries. To do this, I incorporate multiple sectors, non-homothetic preferences, and labour mobility costs into an Eaton-Kortum trade model. With the model, I estimate productivity from trade data (avoiding problematic data for poor countries that typical estimates require) and perform a variety of counterfactual exercises. I find im- port barriers and labour mobility costs account for one-third of the aggregate labour productivity gap between rich and poor countries and for nearly half the gap in agriculture.
