PHOTO: GOYE PAT Karen Joynt and Donna Slaney BY JULIE IRETON Sweet Love... Karen Joynt has her work cut out for her. She’s hoping to raise money during a recession. Joynt is the new manager of Development at the Glebe Centre. Her job is to co-ordinate the fundraising activities and events at the centre and at Abbotsford House. She’s got faith that the community will come through. “It’s a different economy, a new economy. But I haven’t noticed a difficulty yet,” Joynt says optimistically. Joynt has worked for several years in the not-for-profit community, including work at Habitat for Humanity and St. Patrick’s Home. “I started volunteering. That’s how I got the interest. But it’s a great job. When you love what you’re 151B Second Ave. (just steps from Bank St.) doing, it’s not really a job.” Her first task is setting up the GST Auction…it’s not about taxes, rather they 613-233-7277 auction off Goods, Services and Talent. It will be held at the Glebe Community We will be closed Tuesday, March 3rd through Thursday, March 12th. Centre on Thurs., April 2. We will re-open Friday, March 13th at 9:00 am. Joynt says given the current economic conditions she may be looking at more practical items people need every day. Right now, she’s seeking donations of goods, services and talent from the Ottawa community. “We have a lot of work All goods are made and baked right on premises to do. I’ll be working closely with the executive director in the next little while. www.secondavenuesweets.ca We’ll be working on other goals for the future.” Abbotsford’s Council also has new leadership this year. While it’s difficult to say good-bye to the dedicated, out-going council president, Annemarie Groot, everyone wishes her well in her new home in Kingston. She’s left big shoes to fill, but Margaret Dunn is up for the task. Dunn takes over as president and Donna Slaney will be the new vice president. Slaney has never been on the executive before. She started coming to Abbots- ford house to play bridge, now she volunteers once a week at reception. She’s no stranger to the Glebe Centre either. Slaney helps over there a couple days a week at reception and does some computer work. “I just love it. I really enjoy being there. The people really appreciate everything you do,” says Slaney. “I think Abbotsford is a great place too. And the fundraiser at Christmas (annual bazaar) is outstanding. It’s a lot of work, but they have so many volunteers that gladly give up their time.” Slaney notes she’ll likely have a bit of a learning curve during her first year on the board. But she says she and Dunn will be figuring it out together. “Both of us are new. I’ve just attended one meeting so far. I’m hoping we’ll get sugges- tions from other members. At the beginning, I’ll probably go with the flow!” COMPUTER HELP IN YOUR HOME WE COME TO YOU TO FIX COMPUTER PROBLEMS. Compu-Home is a highly regarded family business located right near you.

Phase two began with a brainstorming event on how the community would like to see the build- ings and businesses along Bank Street develop, including the types of uses, de- sign criteria and amenities. A group of residents offered their ideas about the following main issues: types of uses, building height, building location on properties, design guide- lines, parking and transition from commercial use to residential use. This arti- cle provides a summary of what was said. TYPES OF USES There is a strong consensus on the desire to maintain and enhance the vil- lage mainstreet atmosphere of Bank Street. The following characteristics of Bank Street are highly praised: the walkability of the street, the ability to form personal relationships with merchants, the opportunity to have informal en- counters along the way, and the variety of small retail stores that provide unique goods and services responding to the daily needs of residents. Participants recommended development with a mix of uses, including retail on the ground floor with office and residential uses above.

  • Motive and Spatialization in Thomas Tallis' Spem in Alium Kevin Davis
    Motive and Spatialization in Thomas Tallis’ Spem in Alium Kevin Davis Abstract This paper is an analysis of Thomas Tallis’ 40-voice motet Spem in Alium. A piece of this scale and complexity posed challenges in terms of voice leading and counterpoint in this musical style due to its forces, scale, and complexity. In this analysis I suggest that Spem in Alium, due to the peculiarities of its nature, compelled Tallis to experiment with two specific elements—motive and spatialization, the specific treatment of which arises from the fundamental properties counterpoint and voice-leading and combines to create this unique form of antiphonal music. From this combination of factors, the piece’s distinctive “polyphonic detailism” emerges. 1 Origins of work and project Suggestions as to how and why such a work came to be are varied and unreliable. In her book Thomas Tallis and His Music in Victorian England, Suzanne Cole lists a variety of possible reasons claimed by different writers: an attempt to improve upon a 36-voice work of Ockeghem, for quasi-political reasons, as a response to a royal payment of 40 pounds, as a protest on behalf of forty generations of English Catholics slandered by the Protestant Reformation, and for Elizabeth I’s 40th birthday celebration2. Paul Doe in his book Tallis also suggests that is might have been for the sake of personal fulfillment, though as a sole motivation seems less likely.3 Thomas Legge in his preface to the score makes the most convincing argument as to its origin however: inspired by a performance of mass of 40 voices by Alessandro Striggio in London, June of 1557, Tallis was encouraged to undertake the challenge of composing a work with similar forces.

Watt, B.A. Department of Philosophy Submitted in partial fulfillment Of the requirements for the degree of Master alArts Faculty of Humanities, Brock University St. Catharines, Ontario © July, 2006 cMMEs AGIBSON LIBRARY BlOCK UNIVERSITY 8f.OO'HAIUNES ON Abstract This thesis explores the comparison utilitarianism and Buddhist ethics as they can be applied to animal research. It begins by examining some of the general discussions surrounding the use of animals in research. The historical views on the moral status of animals, the debate surrounding their use in animals, as well as the current 3R paradigm and its application in Canadian research are explored. The thesis then moves on to expound the moral system of utilitarianism as put forth by Jeremy Bentham and John Stuart Mill, as well as contemporary additions to the system. It also looks at the basics of Buddhist ethics well distinguishing the Mahayana from the Therevada. Three case studies in animal research are used to explore how both systems can be applied to animal research. It then offers a comparison as to how both ethical systems function within the field of animal research and explores the implications in their application on its practice.

  • Tallis's Spem in Alium
    Spem in Alium – a comparatively review of fourteen recordings by Ralph Moore Background We know less about Thomas Tallis than Shakespeare or any other major cultural figure of the Tudor age; definite facts are few and reasonable inferences and conjectures are many, starting even with the dates of his birth – presumed to be around 1505 - and death - either 20th or 23rd November, 1585. The exact site of his grave in the chancel of the parish of St Alfege Church, Greenwich, is lost. We have no authenticated portrait. What we do know is that despite being a recusant Catholic, he not only survived those perilous times but prospered under a succession of Protestant monarchs, the sole Catholic being Edward VII’s sister Mary, who reigned for only five years, from 1553-1558. He was so valued and respected that Elizabeth gave him the lease on a manor house and a handsome income, and in 1575 he and his pupil William Byrd were granted an exclusive royal patent to print and publish polyphonic music. The key to his survival must lie in his discretion, flexibility and, above all, prodigious talent: he is indubitably one of the greatest English composers of his or any age and a towering figure in Renaissance choral music. His masterpiece is certainly the forty-voice motet Spem in alium but here again, verified facts regarding its origin and first performance are few. The original manuscript is lost and our knowledge of the work is derived from another score prepared for the investiture in 1610 of James I’s elder son, Henry, as Prince of Wales, and used again for the coronation in 1625 of his younger brother, Charles I, next in line to the throne after Harry’s death in 1612 from typhoid fever at eighteen years old.

  • 50 Things You May Not Know About the Ottawa Humane Society 1
    50 Things You May Not Know about the Ottawa Humane Society 1. The Ottawa Humane Society is a very old organization. The OHS was founded in 1888, as the Women's Humane Society. Last year was our 125th Anniversary. 2. We are the parent of the Children's Aid Society. The OHS was founded to protect the welfare of animals and children. The Children's Aid Society branched off from the OHS several years later. 3. The Ottawa Humane Society is a not-for-profit and a registered charity. We are governed by a board of 14. 4. The OHS may be bigger than you think. Last year, our regular staff compliment was 102 full- and part-time staff. (Though almost half are part-time.) Our budget is $6.2 million. Nearly two-thirds of this comes from donors and supporters. 5. The OHS is now located at 245 West Hunt Club Many people still don't know that we relocated in June 2011. 6. West Hunt Club is the OHS's fourth shelter. The first was built on Mann Avenue in 1933. 7. The new OHS West Hunt Club shelter is more than three times the size of the old Champagne Ave. Shelter. Despite its size, one month after it opened in June 2011, the new shelter was full. 8. The OHS cares for over 10,000 animals every year. Last year, 6,181 were cats; 2,111 were dogs; 1,279 were wildlife; 411 were small animals 9. Despite the fact that Ottawa is growing, the number of homeless animals is not.

  • 2019 Biennial Compensation and Benefits Survey EXECUTIVE SUMMARY Information Submitted on Or Before May 7, 2020
    2019 Biennial Compensation and Benefits Survey EXECUTIVE SUMMARY Information Submitted on or before May 7, 2020 I N T R O D U C T I O N A N D I N S I G H T S Organizations in the field of animal welfare employ a unique workforce with distinctive expertise in leadership, organizational governance, animal protection, animal cruelty investigation, behavior rehabilitation, veterinary care, adoption, fundraising, advocacy, human resources, finance, community education and collaboration. Although compensation and benefits surveys exist for many industries, no salary study is compatible with the knowledge and skills needed for mastery of animal welfare. For that reason, The Association for Animal Welfare Advancement (The Association) leadership were compelled to begin collecting data in 2003 (based on FY 2002 data). Since 2003, animal welfare services have evolved: adoption is no longer the main activity at animal care facilities as the numbers of homeless dogs and cats have declined in many regions; community needs have altered; collaborations and mergers have increased; and, animal focused legislation has fluctuated. In response, animal care facilities models continue to adapt to community and animal needs. Consequently The Association volunteer leadership continually reviews the compensation and benefits survey adding or altering job descriptions and accessing needs for additional decision making data. For instance, the effect on salary of those achieving Certified Animal Welfare Administrator (CAWA) status; or, being a male/female in the same role are now studied. In 2019 the first “digital” survey was launched, based on FY 2018 data, allowing participants to instantly compare their data with other regions and budget size over a variety of key performance indicators.
