  • What Can Be Done to Protect Schools and Universities from Military Use?
    QUESTIONS AND ANSWERS ON THE DRAFT LUCENS GUIDELINES Global Coalition to Protect Education from Attack GCPEA 1 GCPEA Global Coalition to Protect Education from Attack What is military use of schools and universities? During armed conflicts, schools and universities are often used by armed forces and non-state armed groups as bases, barracks and temporary shelters, defensive and offensive positions or observation posts, weapons stores, and detention and interro - gation centres. Classrooms, school grounds, and lecture halls are also used for military training and to forcibly recruit children into armed groups. Sometimes schools and universities are taken over entirely, and students are pushed out completely. At other times education facilities are partially used for military purposes, with troops building a firing position on a school’s roof, or using a few classrooms, or occupying a playground while students continue to attend. Schools can be used for military purposes for a few days, months, or even years, and may be used during school hours, or when schools are not in session, over holidays, or in the evening. In all instances, military use of schools and universities puts students, teachers, and academics at risk. Where is military use of schools and universities happening? According to the Global Coalition to Protect Education from Attack (GCPEA), between 2005 and 2014, national armed forces and non-state armed groups, multi-national forces, and even peacekeepers have used schools and universities in at least 25 countries during armed confict, including: Afghanistan, Central African Republic, Chad, Colombia, Côte d’Ivoire, Democratic Republic of Congo, Georgia, India, Iraq, Israel/Palestine, Libya, Mali, Myanmar, Nepal, Pakistan, Philippines, Somalia, South Sudan, Sri Lanka, Sudan, Syria, Thailand, Uganda, Ukraine, and Yemen.

  • For Immediate Release. FRIDAY, SEPTEMBER 30, 2011, 6-9 Pm
    For Immediate Release. Please add this information to your listings. Thank you! O’BORN CONTEMPORARY presents: REVOLUTION, a solo exhibition, featuring photographs from the Egyptian revolution by ED OU OCTOBER 1 – NOVEMBER 5, 2011 www.oborncontemporary.com DATES: FRIDAY, SEPTEMBER 30, 2011, 6-9 pm Exhibition Opening and Reception Show Continues to NOVEMBER 5, 2011 Artist will be in attendance. Saturday, October 1, 12-5 pm Informal artist tours & talks. LOCATION: 131 Ossington Avenue, Toronto. GALLERY HOURS: Tuesday – Saturday, 11 – 6 and by appointment. TELEPHONE: 416.413.9555 EXHIBITION STATEMENT: In January of 2011, Egyptians from all corners of the country erupted in mass protests, challenging the heavy-handed rule of President Hosni Mubarak. The entire world watched, as Egyptians fought to have their grievances heard using sticks, stones, shouts, cell phones, and computers. Over the course of eighteen days, protesters occupied Tahrir square, the symbolic heart of the revolution where Egyptians of all ages and parts of society could speak with one unified voice, demanding the ouster of the president. They debated politics, shared their testimonies, supported each other, and mapped out their hopes and dreams for their country. On February 11, President Mubarak resigned, ending thirty years of autocratic rule. As the euphoria and excitement dies down, Egyptians are beginning to question what they have actually achieved. They are asking themselves what they want to make of their new Egypt and how to reconcile with decades of mistrust of authority, corruption, and an economy in shambles. The difficult part arguably, is still to come. ABOUT THE ARTIST: Ed Ou (24) is a culturally ambiguous Canadian photojournalist who has been bouncing around the Middle East, former Soviet Union, Africa, and the Americas.

  • Don Connolly, Emcee Former Host of CBC Information Morning Superintendent Jim Perrin Criminal Investigation Division, Halifax R
    Don Connolly, Emcee Former Host of CBC Information Morning Born in Antigonish, N.S., and raised in Bathurst, N.B., Don spent the last 42 years of his journalism career as the host of CBC Information Morning, broadcasting out of Halifax. Widely recognized as one of the most distinct radio personalities in Atlantic Canada, Don first joined the morning team as an interviewer in 1976. Before that, he worked with a handful of radio stations across eastern Canada, including CKBC in Bathurst, CHNS in Halifax, and CFGO in Ottawa. The breadth of stories Don has brought us over four decades is too vast to cover here. Among his favourite work was covering elections — municipal, provincial and federal, he delivered the results of countless visits to the polls. There were difficult days too; when the Westray Mine exploded, when Swissair Flight 111 crashed, and when Hurricane Juan made landfall, Don’s soothing tones brought information and a sense of calm to his listeners. Don retired from journalism on Jan. 26, 2018, and is enjoying time with friends and family at home in Halifax. Superintendent Jim Perrin Criminal Investigation Division, Halifax Regional Police Superintendent Perrin is the officer-in-charge of the Integrated Criminal Investigation Division and its various support units, including forensic identification, digital forensics, criminal intelligence and crime analysis. He began his policing career in 1989, serving in general patrol, various street crime units and investigative units. Since being promoted to the rank of superintendent in 2009, he has held the positions of Divisional Commander and officer-in-charge of the Support Division.

  • Fifth Estate Wins Award for Ashley Smith Docs
    Fifth Estate wins award for Ashley Smith docs Prestigious Michener prize given for public service journalism Laura Payton June 14, 2011 Gov. Gen. David Johnston, right, presents Jim Williamson, executive producer of CBC's The Fifth Estate, with the Michener Award for meritorious public service in journalism June 14, 2011, in Ottawa. The program won for its work on the case of Ashley Smith, who killed herself in an Ontario corrections facility. (Fred Chartrand/Canadian Press) The CBC program The Fifth Estate has won the 2010 Michener Award, an annual honour recognizing meritorious public service journalism in Canada. Gov. Gen. David Johnston presented the award for the program's two documentaries on the case of Ashley Smith, a 19-year-old woman who had initially been sentenced to a month in juvenile detention when she was 14, but ended up serving more than four years, mostly in solitary confinement. Ashley Smith was 14 when she was sentenced to one month in juvenile detention. She ended up spending most of the next four years in the system, before killing herself in solitary confinement when she was 19. Canadian Press Smith, originally from Moncton, N.B., ended up strangling herself to death in her cell in an Ontario institution after many previous suicide attempts. Guards had been given orders not to enter the cell as long as she was still breathing. A coroner's inquest on the circumstances surrounding her death is currently underway. The Fifth Estate won the Michener for documentaries titled “Out of Control” and “Behind the Wall,” which probed the issue of how people with mental illness are treated in Canada's penal system.

To establish the presence/absence of the amphibian pathogen Batrachochytrium dendrobatidis (Bd) on conservation lands in northern and south-central New Brunswick, Canada, we sampled eight species of anurans and six species of caudate amphibians (n = 390). Six species, including Rana catesbieana (American Bullfrog), R. clamitans (Green Frog), R. sylvatica (Wood Frog), Desmognathus fuscus (Northern Dusky Salamander), Plethodon cinereus (Eastern Red-backed Salamander) and Notopthalmus viridescens (Eastern Newt) tested positive for Bd. Prevalence for Bd in New Brunswick amphibians was low overall (4.6%) relative to those reported from surrounding states and provinces; however, two plethodontid salamanders, D. fuscus and P. cinereus, had the highest Bd prevalence among any of the amphibians sampled (9.1% and 12.9% respectively).
