Ontario Tech acknowledges the lands and people of the Mississaugas of Scugog Island First Nation.

We are thankful to be welcome on these lands in friendship. The lands we are situated on are covered by the Williams Treaties and are the traditional territory of the Mississaugas, a branch of the greater Anishinaabeg Nation, including Algonquin, Ojibway, Odawa and Pottawatomi. These lands remain home to many Indigenous nations and peoples.

We acknowledge this land out of respect for the Indigenous nations who have cared for Turtle Island, also called North America, from before the arrival of settler peoples until this day. Most importantly, we acknowledge that the history of these lands has been tainted by poor treatment and a lack of friendship with the First Nations who call them home.

This history is something we are all affected by because we are all treaty people in Canada. We all have a shared history to reflect on, and each of us is affected by this history in different ways. Our past defines our present, but if we move forward as friends and allies, then it does not have to define our future.

New perspectives on reading and writing across the disciplines

Judith Seaboyer, Tully Barnett

Research output: Contribution to specialist publicationEditorial

4 Citations (Scopus)

There’s a level of public anxiety that at times approaches moral panic around the argument that those born into a digital age have lost the ability as well as the desire to read or write long-form text. That anxiety haunts higher education, too. From rigorous research in the reading-heavy disciplines to conversations among colleagues after class, the internet is often held as responsible for the failure of too many of our students to be able to read enough disciplinary material in enough depth to allow them to take the next steps in the dialogic that constitutes a university education. We look to research that suggests that to blame changing technology is at best an oversimplification. While the capacity to deep read complex texts and to respond orally and in writing are foundational skills that are complicated by the rise of digital technologies, research on what has come to be termed reading non-compliance suggests the problem is of much longer standing. The ways in which we engage text may have changed, but the failure to read for class preceded digital technologies and their distractions (Hobson). We argue we can best serve our students now by encouraging biliteracy (Wolf and Barzillai) so they are able to shift between the reading-for-information that involves scanning, clicking, and linking, and the deep, immersive reading vital for the rich and productive engagement that enables critical, creative, and ethical learning.

Challenged bodies: Identities at the front line

Diana Miranda, Owain Smolovic-Jones, Anja Schaefer

Research output: Book/ReportCommissioned report

In this paper we explore how police officers in a post-conflict context construct their individual and collective identities as good professionals in narratives of bodily encounters with others. The paper treats experiences of bodily involvement in the world of one’s work as occasions for identity work. We specifically focus on the construction of an identity as a ‘good professional’, with an emphasis on ‘good’ as ‘ethical’. Our paper thus aims to bring together concerns around ethics, identity construction, embodiment and inter-subjectivity in an exploration of ethical identity construction.

Sometimes I cry, Sometimes I laugh

Sometimes I cry, Sometimes I laugh

Regular price $24.00

For quite some time, I’ve had a desire to write a children’s book about emotions. But I didn’t just want the book to talk about emotions; I wanted it to acknowledge and respect emotions. I wanted to write a book that I would feel good about reading to my own children, one that conveys a healthy view of emotions. And while this is certainly a children’s book, I’ve also written it with their parents and other adults in their lives in mind. In fact, because of how it models respectful communication and empathic limit-setting, Sometimes I Cry / Sometimes I Laugh could even be viewed as a parent handbook of sorts.

Starting from either side, the book tells two stories that begin separately and meet in the middle. The flip format is symbolic, as the book explores opposite ends of the emotional spectrum and takes a holistic approach to examining these contrasting feelings and the ways we express them.

The book talks openly about both crying and laughing, without judging one to be better or more correct than the other. The central message is that all emotions, both positive and negative, are valid, and that children should always be given space to express their feelings and be met with empathy and understanding when they do. It’s a message about which I am incredibly passionate, and I believe this is the single most important shift that we as parents can make in our thinking; if we can truly internalize the idea that all emotions are valid and deserve to be expressed, we will be much better equipped to support our children in developing healthy emotional balance and emotional intelligence.

- Kristín Maríella

Learn to support your child's emotions

Inside the book you'll find powerful language examples of how to support and acknowledge your child's big emotions coupled with scripts that help any parent get better at setting clear, confident limits with calm and compassion.

Laughter is not always positive

The story thoughtfully displays laughter and laughing in various ways. We laugh when we are having fun and being playful, we may laugh when laughing is not appropriate or even hurtful, we might laugh at ourselves when we make silly mistakes and lastly, we experience mixed emotions.

Crying is good - Laughing is good

I believe it does a person a great disservice in life to be afraid of a normal part of their existence, to be ashamed or constantly try and avoid feeling bad/sad/angry/frustrated/disappointed.

The sad reality is that most of us actually are, scared or afraid of our negative emotions. Most of us grew up repeatedly receiving the message that these emotions were “bad” and not to be expressed or even felt. We were scolded, punished or shamed for crying or expressing our upsets as children. But how are we supposed to handle life if we can’t handle a perfectly normal part of it?

It is incredibly healing to realize that you can choose a different path for yourself and your children. To see how you can break the cycle and consciously choose to step out of some of those patterns. This is much of what respectful and mindful parenting is about, intentionally stepping into a greater awareness and then choosing differently in your own parenting.

It all starts is with holding space for the whole child, to accept them fully. And then to demonstrate our unconditional love by consistently showing up with love for their highest of highs as well as their lowest of low.

As the book puts it, “We all get upset from time to time. Some days, when you’re in a bad mood, it might feel good to cry. Other days, when you’re so happy you feel like you could burst, it might feel good to laugh."

In a historic fish market in Milan has been created a restaurant, which offers its customers the particular possibility to buy fish but also to consume directly the ones exposed on the benches.
Following the global restructuring of the location, which specifically wanted to maintain its original identity, the request of the commissioner was to create a restaurant within the sale area.
The main idea was based on the conceptualization of a fish aquarium, therefore surfaces and furnishings have the aim to reveal an elegant underwater world in which prey and predator lose their identities, in a particular game of shapes and volumes, where fiction and parody coexist harmoniously.

A fascinating blue glass cube contains the restaurant, revealing inside the furniture and its refined and comfortable atmosphere. This was designed to accommodate guests, always inside the fish market, which has also been renovated with the will to keep the shades of white, blue lights have been installed, so to delicately paint the entire venue, with this only blue light, which intentionally disregards the easy and obvious expectations in the use of the colour.

From the inside of the restaurant, looking through the blue glass, the fish market takes the colors of the sea. All the elements present want to reppresent the underwater world, which includes the refined lamps, that are conceptual networks with crystals, which also have stylized fish, drawn by the studio and printed on wallpaper which was then applied on the walls. The furniture is made from simple wooden boards painted with a special ecological pearl paint, finished with a raw brushed paint to increase tactility. On the walls have been created out of scale writings, which mention in different languages what you can eat inside the restaurant.

The floor was made using a very tactile ceramic, a mud-rock shade, to the point that you could easily walk even with bare feet, so to remember the sandy surface of a beach gently shaped by the wind.

Revolution Summer! Chicago Fund Drive Enters Second and Decisive Phase
On to $50,000!

From the Revolution Club, Chicago

July 31, 2017 | Revolution Newspaper |

We are in the midst of an important campaign to raise $50,000 for Revolution Summer! Through this, we hope to bring many people in more middle strata to support this effort, and in the process to learn more about what the masses of people are facing in the oppressed neighborhoods, and about the revolution that is needed. We have raised a little over half of what is needed. Many people around the country will need to step forward to meet this goal as quickly as possible, to keep this project going.

As it says on the GoFundMe site for the project: “Donations are needed right now to support the work being done this summer in Chicago by the Chicago Revolution Club, out-of-town volunteers, and Carl Dix [a representative of the Revolutionary Communist Party]. The Club is taking out the leadership and the science people need to get free to the people who are currently shooting and murdering each other. The Club is on the front lines, fighting relentlessly to get the youth to stop the insanity and get into the revolution. This situation is more acute than ever as the Trump/Pence regime sets its fascist sights on Chicago. ... Everyone with a heart agonizes over this situation. But here is a way for you to actually do something—make a donation that can actually make a difference—because this project is not about putting a Band-Aid on a bullet wound.“

We have learned some things with our initial efforts in the middle class in Chicago, concentrated in a group of health professionals and workers who have donated several thousand dollars to Revolution Summer! in both small and large sums. The six Points of Attention for the Revolution have played an important role in this work—projecting a vision for a new future and of moral authority for that future.

Because there is such a huge gulf of ignorance and ignore-ance among the middle strata, even in Chicago, of the conditions people on the South and West Sides actually face—there is the need in this work to bring to life the reality that the violent oppression of Black people has been deeply embedded in every aspect of this country for hundreds of years and that, due to the workings of capitalism-imperialism, millions of Black people have become expendable in its eyes. This agitation/argumentation does have an impact on people being asked to donate to this project. The problem is this system and not some pathology of Black people who in fact are the victims of all of this. Middle class people raise to us: Can these problems be addressed by more education? Should we focus more on problems of the Black family and the lack of fathers in the home? But how well do these people in more privileged positions, who are immersed in “information” but not in scientific analyses, get the horror of mass incarceration that has robbed these communities of so many people? How well do people understand the history of how this system created these segregated neighborhoods with redlining and restrictive covenants/the destruction of public housing/the turning of public schools into prisons with no chance at real education? These questions are all addressed at, and using these articles has made a big difference in winning people to donate.

Why People Donated

Among those who decide to support this it has been important to get people to express why, from their perspective, they are supporting this project and to share that with others still on the fence. One health professional donated to Revolution Summer twice and wrote: “Made another 50.00 donation on the GoFundMe page. Instead of writing something of my own I will just pick some quotes that I like. (1) ‘The ends you serve that are selfish will take you no further than yourself but the ends you serve that are for all, in common, will take you into eternity.’ Marcus Garvey. (2) ‘For any marginalized group to change the story the society tells about them takes courage and perseverance.’ Sharon Salzberg. (3) People often call fighting discrimination being ‘PC’ because they don’t want their own unearned privileges challenged.’ DaShanne Stokes.”

A professional whose parents are from South Asia wrote: “I grew up doing volunteer work with my parents. So I’ve seen injustices and inequality of under privileged communities as well as the sense of hopelessness in the children/adolescents who can’t see a way out. When my friend discussed the Revolution Club, it got my interest immediately. An organization that is working to change things on a big scale. I’m in agreement that the world needs to open their eyes and see the blatant disregard for other humans just because of the low income or skin color. Thus glad to see a national movement for change.”

Carl Dix Dinner/Discussion with Health Professionals

We recently had an informal dinner meeting/discussion where four health professionals met with Carl Dix after all had donated to this project. Carl spoke about the decision to bring a Revolution Summer to these neighborhoods, to the pull of the street and the struggle to break people out of that and onto another road and what would be involved in this. He also gave a lot of attention to the campaign of police-imposed “martial law” in the area on the South Side where the Revolution Club has planted a pole—including the raid of over 100 cops on a family’s 4th of July party. Those at the dinner were really taken aback by this and learning of the 7 am-3 pm curfew which led to one resident being ordered off the sidewalk to his porch and then off his porch into his home! The issue of neighborhood development to “uplift the neighborhoods” came up. Carl spoke to the Obama library and the Tiger Woods golf course, both planned for South Shore and, as Carl explained, both meant to delude people into dead ends that do nothing to address the real problem.

At the end of the dinner, one professional who has been generous in her support of this project raised her questions about communism and human nature, and Carl went into this with substance. The next day, another of the professionals added that she very much appreciated what Carl had to say, and expressed her views this way: “Changing all of this is hard work and will take a lot of time and I appreciate that there can be many approaches to going at this.” She offered that she is going to donate again and would be willing to reach out to a few others that she knows. What we have learned, among other things, is that people do not have to agree with everything about Revolution Summer in order to support it, AND TO TAKE IT OUT TO OTHERS.

Support Those with a Real Plan to End the Crimes of This System

It is important to grasp that progressive middle class people, people who do have a heart and are agonizing over the daily carnage among these youth, have a responsibility to support this project even as they explore and engage with and raise questions about and voice disagreements with revolution and with Bob Avakian’s new synthesis of communism. We welcome all of this, but not by making disagreement principle over the need to have the back of Carl Dix and the courageous Revolution Club volunteers as they fight the power, and transform the people, for revolution in these neighborhoods. You can sense the excitement of so many good middle class people when they first hear that somebody is out there on these mean streets with a plan to actually END this monstrous crime imposed by the system upon humanity! Then, of course, people want to “get real,” and why wouldn’t they, not grasping the deep science behind this plan? So now they’re on a journey—and we need to help lead them to that science and its methods and conclusions. But don’t let them lose that spark that we lit! Here’s a simple truth—No other plan out there is even close to commensurate with this fucking problem! Support that!

Bob Avakian, in his new book THE NEW COMMUNISM: The science, the strategy, the leadership for an actual revolution, and a radically new society on the road to real emancipation, talks about the “positive synergy” between building the revolutionary movement among the most oppressed—and among the middle strata. Those who catch the most hell need the middle strata to back them up to not feel that the rest of society is against them. This is strategically important in making revolution.

Another positive development we’ve seen so far in this fund drive is increasing excitement, and multiple donations, from a section of donors who follow Revolution Summer online at or at least through GoFundMe updates, and emails we send out to them. When they read articles like “Face-Off on the South Side of Chicago” and how things were getting very intense and people in the neighborhood were stepping forward in various ways, including putting on the BA Speaks: REVOLUTION—NOTHING LESS! T-shirts, some donated again and sent encouraging statements. We have to make sure the Revolution Club and the people they are reaching out to HEAR that there ARE middle class people who do HAVE THEIR BACKS.

Practicing the Resurrection

I had a friend on Facebook last week post that for pastors, the week after Easter is equal to Christmas vacation.  I don’t know what planet he’s writing from, but I’ve never known that to be the case.  This week following Easter I have two funerals, a youth retreat to prepare for, as well as the usual visitation, sermon and worship prep that comes with a standard work-week as a Pastor.  “Christmas-vacation” – as if!

I think that having funerals the week after Easter Sunday, or any time of the year for that matter, is kind of like putting your faith to the test.  “Do you really believe all that stuff you said last week?”  If Christ is raised, if we believe in a living savior who has conquered death and sin, how does that change the way you mourn the loss of a loved one?  How does that change your view of death, but also your view of the life you now live?

This week I have the opportunity to celebrate the victory of these two saints who have now joined the Church triumphant.  I celebrate their lives, I mourn their passing, and I anticipate with great hope and longing the day when we shall be brought together, those who sleep and those who live, as we meet the Lord in the air.

I heard about a mansion He has built for me in glory
And I heard about the streets of gold beyond the crystal sea
About the angels singing and the old redemption story
And some sweet day I’ll sing up there the song of victory.

O victory in Jesus my Savior forever
He sought me and bought me with His redeeming blood
He loved me ere I knew Him and all my love is due Him
He plunged me to victory beneath the cleansing flood.

Umer Naru’s Interview

Umer Naru is a talented young actor, best known for his role in Pyare Afzal, where he played the gullible Mehtaab. He also played the very sweet and sensitive brother-in-law in Durr-e-shahwar and these days, viewers can see him take on the role of Shehzada Taimoor in Sarmad Khoosat’s Mor Mahal.

In a recent interview with Dawn Images, Umer Naru talked about his character and his experience working in Mor Mahal.

CdwPMwnWIAAwQUZ.jpg large

When asked about the most challenging thing about working in Mor Mahal, Umer answered, ”Shooting through the brain-melting summer, dressed in thick layers of clothing, whilst maintaining game face.”

The characters in Mor Mahal have to speak khalis, saqeel Urdu. Umer Naru was asked if that was a challenge. ”By the time we went into shooting, I was well prepared. And yes, I did learn quite a few new words along with their historical context. Words like saazindey, aseelein(female guards of the harem) and kornish…but mostly I picked up on the right pronunciations of words.”

He played the nice guy in Pyare Afzal, Durr-e-shahwar, Mirat-ul-uroos. Why is that? ”It so happened that those scripts passed the bare minimum standard I had set for myself. I don’t know if there is a trap and even if there is one I ain’t falling for it.”

Talking about his character in Mor Mahal, ”Prince Taimoor is an idealist, who wears his heart on his sleeve. He is a good-natured, naive young nawab who finds himself caught in unusual set of circumstances. His parents’ political disagreements and life choices have a direct impact on the course of his destiny.”

Umer Naru admitted that essaying the role of Shehzada Taimoor gave an opportunity to discover his strengths and limitations as an actor. ”I haven’t exposed myself like this on screen before. Sometimes, in emotionally charged or physically demanding scenes, the line between restraint and over emoting seemed thin.”

Umer Naru has done a lot of theater work. In 2012, an international Shakespeare festival was held by the prestigious Globe Theatre were 37 countries took part to perform Shakespearean plays in their native languages. Umer Naru went to England and got to perform in Taming of the Shrew. This was one of his most cherished experiences that helped him gain confidence.

And they are right when they say, 'Writing is a form of therapy'.

Rhode Island Motorcycle Accident Lawyer | Fatal Motorcycle Accident

Fatal Motorcycle Accident

RI motorcycle accident lawyers

Many motorcycle enthusiasts recognize that riding their bike is a natural way of life and an expressive opportunity to enjoy the thrill of the open road. Unfortunately, motorcycle riders are often at the mercy of motorists on the roadway who do not understand the rules of the road or drive appropriately to effectively minimize the potential dangers bikers face every day.

Rhode Island Motorcycle Accident Lawyer

Bikers are more likely to be involved in a fatal accident at a rate 35 times greater than occupants riding in a passenger vehicle. Nearly 100,000 motorcycle rider suffer serious injuries every year and another 4800 on average lose their lives in fatal motorcycle accidents. Traumatic brain injury (TBI) is the leading cause of most motorcycle deaths. In addition, motorcyclists who choose not to wear a helmet have a 40 percent higher chance of dying from a head injury in an accident compared to those wearing a helmet.

According to the RI wrongful death statute: “§ 10-7-1 Liability for damages for causing death. – Whenever the death of a person shall be caused by the wrongful act, neglect, or default of another, and the act, neglect, or default is such as would, if death had not ensued, have entitled the party injured to maintain an action and recover damages in respect thereof, the person who, or the corporation which, would have been liable if death had not ensued shall be liable to an action for damages, notwithstanding the death of the person injured, and although the death shall have been caused under such circumstances as amount in law to a felony”

Motorcycle Accident Liability in Rhode Island and Providence Plantations

If you have lost a loved one or a a spouse / family member was killed from a deadly motorcycle accident, you are likely feeling anger if the incident occurred through a driver’s negligence. You are likely seeking to hold every party at fault for the death accountable for your financial and emotional losses. Though the fatal accident extinguished their right to file a claim for compensation, you have the right to recover damages through a Rhode Island wrongful death claim filed by the executor of the estate of the deceased.

However, these types of cases are complex and usually require a skilled Rhode Island personal injury attorney or Rhode Island wrongful death attorney to handle the claim. Your RI wrongful death lawyer or Providence motorcycle accident lawyers can establish negligence by proving how the defendant or defendants were careless, reckless or intentionally at fault for your loved one’s death. Successful RI motorcycle  accident lawyers resolves cases by showing how the parties at fault:

• Owed your loved one a duty of care by providing a safe environment
• Breached that duty by not exercising reasonable care
• Caused the death of your loved one because that duty was breached
• Their actions or inaction caused your damages
• Your loss and damages are real

Many Rhode Island drivers make claims that the deceased victim was somehow involved in creating the accident. In some cases the motorist operating the truck, automobile (auto), van car, motor vehicle also involved in the motorcycle crash will assert that the motorcyclist was partially or wholly at fault for the bike – motor vehicle wreck. TOP Rhode Island wrongful death lawyers can circumvent this problem by reconstructing the scene of the crash while building the RI wrongful death case.

The causes of many fatal motorcycle accidents and collisions mimic causes that typically trigger truck and car accidents. However, because the biker and passenger lack body protection compared to occupants in automobiles, trucks and SUVs, the open exposure to catastrophic injury often leads to death. Many factors affect an accident involving a motorcycle including:

Common Motorcycle Crash Causes in Rhode Island and Providence Plantations

• Most motorcycles are significantly smaller than even a compact passenger vehicle, making it very difficult to be seen by others on the road.
• Inexperienced passenger vehicle drivers often misjudge the speed and distance of an approaching, passing or merging motorcycle.
• Dangerous road conditions and adverse weather can be extremely hazardous for bikers.
• Even a minor crash can cause catastrophic injuries and death to the biker and motorcycle passenger.

In many incidences, the culprit involved in the RI bike accident is a poorly maintained machine or faulty equipment including motorcycles with defective tires or breaks. Because of that, a skilled RI car accident attorney will likely seek to file a claim against a variety of parties including the manufacturer of the motorcycle, the dealership, mechanics or others.

Common causes of motorcycle accidents in Rhode Island:

• Distracted driving such as Texting while driving, utilizing a gps, web surfing while driving or utilizing a cell phone or smart phone
• Drunk driving (dui/ dwi/ oui)
• Drowsy Driving / Sleepy Driving / Tired Driving / Falling asleep at the wheel
• speeding, reckless driving or running a red light
• negligent and careless driving

Recovering Damages using a RI motorcycle accident attorney

By law, you are likely entitled to recover damages and losses involved in the fatal motorcycle accident of your loved one. In addition, you can likely seek compensation for their lost earnings, accumulated medical bills before their demise, funeral expenses and other economic losses such as the future loss of their support and services. In addition, your Rhode Island wrongful death attorney will typically file a claim to include non-economic damages such as your pain, suffering, loss of companionship, loss of consortium, mental anguish and grief.

According to the National Highway Safety Administration: “In 2007, there were 2,332 two-vehicle fatal crashes involving a motorcycle and another type of vehicle. In 40 percent (939) of these crashes the other vehicle was turning left while the motorcycle was going straight, passing, or overtaking the vehicle. Both vehicles were going straight in 632 crashes (27%).” http://www-nrd.nhtsa.dot.gov/Pubs/810990.pdf

Rhode Island Personal injury attorneys who specialize in fatal motorcycle accidents commonly provide a free, initial consultation to discuss the case. These RI injury lawyers and East providence car crash lawyers usually accept wrongful death lawsuits on contingency. This means that the executor of the estate of the person killed in the collision can file a claim and negotiate a settlement of a motorcycle crash / collision or take the case to trial without paying upfront fees.

Motorcycle Accident Wrongful DeathMotorcycle riders have the greatest potential of suffering serious injuries or death on America’s roadways and Rhode Island and Providence Plantations. This is because of the lack of protection against passenger vehicles and commercial trucks. The motorcyclist faces numerous unique challenges including roadway conditions, adverse weather and inattention by other drivers. Sadly, all too often motorcyclists are injured in a motorcycle accident.

The three leading factors of a motorcycle accident wrongful death in RI involve:

Lack of Protection – Drivers in passenger cars and commercial trucks have extensive protection both in and outside their vehicle. This includes head restraints, seatbelts, airbags and patted equipment including steering wheels and dashboards. Alternatively, a motorcycle rider and passenger can only extend their protection to wearing a helmet, leather clothing and padding.

Driver Inattention – When other drivers lose focus on the roadway through distraction  such as texting while driving or lazy behavior, they can easily miss seeing a motorcycle in the next lane, behind them or on approach. In fact, the vast majority of motorcycle accidents occur on freeways and at intersections when motorists change lanes unexpectedly or turn in front of an oncoming motorcycle.

Roadways Hazards – Because the motorcycle has only two wheels, any roadway hazard can cause significant problems and increase the likelihood of an accident. Common hazards in Rhode Island include roadway debris, potholes, fallen branches, blown tires, stones, sticks and oil slicks.

Statistics maintained by the NHTSA (National Highway Traffic Safety Administration) indicate that a motorcycle rider and passenger have a 35 times higher likelihood of dying in a traffic accident compared to motorists and passengers riding in a car.

The statistics also suggest that nearly half of all motorcycle accidents with fatalities occur when the bike collides into other vehicles, and one in four deaths occur from crashing into fixed objects. Only one in three motorcycle accident wrongful deaths occur from speeding.

Legal Liability in Rhode Island and Providence Plantations

Even though passenger vehicle drivers and truckers have reduced visibility and recognizing a motorcycle on a road or freeway, failing to see the bike is no excuse for the accident. Making a sudden lane change or turning in front of an approaching bike nearly always endangers the motorcyclist, causing a crash.

Even though the motorcyclist has the identical legal rights enjoyed by truck drivers and passenger vehicle motorists, negative stereotypes and prejudices often make it difficult to prove legal liability. Because of that, surviving family members of a lost loved one killed in a motorcycle accident will hire a  RI personal injury attorney  or a Rhode island wrongful death lawyer to help determine who was at fault for the death.

Hiring a  RI motorcycle accident Lawyer or Providence Car Accident Lawyers

An aggressive Providence wrongful death lawyer  or East Providence bike collision attorney can build a claim for compensation by gathering crucial evidence to substantiate which parties are at fault for the fatality. The Warwick, Cranston Or Providence motorcycle accident lawyer will file a motorcycle accident wrongful death lawsuit representing the executor of the estate of the deceased on behalf of the spouse, parents, child or grandparents of the decedent. The lawsuit will seek recompense for numerous kinds of damage including:

• Funeral and burial costs
• Hospital expenses and medical bills related to the accident
• Loss of consortium, companionship and friendship
• Loss of income, benefits, retirement
• Loss of any projected future earnings that would have provided financial support to the family
• Mental anguish, pain, suffering and emotional trauma suffered by the victim’s family
• The pain suffered by the victim before dying

There is no amount of financial compensation sufficient enough to replace the love, care and nurturing of the love one, nor extinguish the grief experienced by survivors. However, survivors do not deserve to be ruined financially because of the negligence, carelessness or recklessness of others.

A skilled  Rhode Island motorcycle accident attorney can evaluate the full impact of economic and non-economic losses to determine the value of a motorcycle accident wrongful death case. The  RI law firm will stand up to claims adjusters or opposing counsel to negotiate an out-of-court settlement or win the case at trial.

Readying for a bumpy spring: Potholes are here

Potholes are making an early appearance on Ottawa roads this year.

And if weather this week is any indication, we’re in for a bumper crop.

Monday started above freezing, but the temperature plummeted in the afternoon — perfect breeding conditions for the road hazards. It’s due to get warm again — as high as 11C on Friday— before dipping back into the double digits below zero.

“That thaw-freeze cycle is deadly,” said Coun. Marianne Wilkinson, transportation committee chair.

“Water can do a lot of damage.”

Just how much damage isn’t clear.

The exact number of potholes in the city is impossible to track, said Dan O’Keefe, the city’s manager of roads and traffic operations.

“The number changes every day,” he said.

The amount of pothole repairs are calculated by the tons of asphalt used and city workers have already begun patching operations. The city can’t say specifically how much is spent to repair potholes because it comes out of the $69- million winter maintenance budget.

In 2010, the city of Ottawa spent just over $2.20 million dollars on pothole repairs. The total budget for all types of roadway asphalt repair is just over $5 million.

But for the nearly 1,500 people who call the road their office, this time of year is synonymous with forking over big bucks.

“We’re getting a lot of complaints from our members about the potholes,” said Amrik Singh, president of the Ontario Taxi Union/CAW Local 1688.

“Our people are spending a lot of money to the repairs for the tires,” he said, on average $300 to $400 every year.

Singh recalls hitting a doozy last year, when he was driving four people to the airport.

“Right at Bronson and Catherine, the pothole was so big my front right tire was cut like somebody cut it with a knife,” he said.

It cost $200 to fix the tire and around $1,000 for the rim.

That’s a pretty big blow.

“Normally you don’t get a flat but normally you get a bent wheel,” said Chad Woolsey, automotive technician at Frisby Tire on Industrial Ave.

“If it’s hit really hard, it will bend the wheel and wreck the tire.”

Pothole damage may also throw the alignment off, which increases wear on tires and could affect brake suspension components, said Woolsey.

And the price for new parts varies.

“If you bent a rim, a steel wheel, about $100. If you bent an aluminum wheel, upwards of $500,” he said, adding a four-wheel alignment costs $90.

Woolsey said he thinks the worst pothole in the city is on Bank St. between Heron Rd. and Hunt Club Rd.

Regardless of the weather or season, when you do see a hole, “don’t hit the brakes,” said CAA spokesperson Korey Kennedy.

“Try to safely avert it. If not, just go as slowly over it as possible.”

The best course of action, Kennedy said, is to make sure your tires are properly inflated and your vehicle is routinely maintained.

World-class cancer care made possible through complex construction | Rockford Construction

World-class Cancer Care Made Possible Through Complex Construction

The exterior columns of the Doug Meijer Medical Innovation Building

When BAMF Health opens in June 2022 in the Doug Meijer Medical Innovation Building on the Medical Mile in Grand Rapids, it will be home to the world’s most advanced molecular imaging clinic, radiopharmacy and theranostics clinic, providing world-class health treatment for various types of cancer, Alzheimer’s, Parkinson’s, cardiac disease and much more.

BAMF Health’s life-changing treatments are part of a new field called theranostics, which uses novel tracers to identify and treat various conditions. These treatments use radioactive isotopes, which must be carefully produced and controlled.

Cyclotrons produce the radioisotopes needed for BAMF Health’s novel care by propelling a beam of charged particles at a target composed by a stable isotope. When they interact, a radioisotope is created. This process requires shielding and a specialized facility, including custom cyclotron vault housings and a custom exhaust system to ensure the process is properly contained.

One of the cyclotrons that will be used to generate radioisotopes for theranostics treatments.

For Steve McGovern and Mark VanderVeen, superintendents at Rockford Construction, who is building the facility in a joint venture with Walsh Construction, the technically difficult aspects of this project meant weeks of advanced planning and sophisticated building modeling.

From the design phase, Rockford experts used BIM, or building information modeling, to create a detailed and specific virtual rendering of the building to ensure that all aspects of the construction would be accounted for in the complex design of the cyclotron vault systems.

“On a project of this complexity, where the vault ceilings were within feet of the structural beams for the second floor, using BIM was absolutely critical,” McGovern said. “This was a very complex and challenging project. Having everything planned well in advance and thinking about all of the variables took several weeks of hard work and planning with experts and vendors from all over the world.”

Because the vaults contain radiation, they needed to be built with six-foot-thick concrete walls. Specialty doors that can contain the radiation were shipped from Italy. The cyclotrons came from overseas as well.

“The whole execution of the vault system was challenging, but we knew we had the resources to do it,” VanderVeen said. “Even things as simple as electrical conduit had to be absolutely perfect to make sure power supplies to the cyclotrons were exactly where they needed to be.”

Other challenges included keeping up with an aggressive schedule. Erection of the building’s steel support beams had to be done in two phases so the beams wouldn’t interfere with the pouring of the vault’s massive walls or the installation of its roof. The roof’s rebar supports were assembled onsite and then craned into place before the roof could be poured. Logistics had to be planned without error.

The building also features complex ventilation and exhaust systems that sit below ground level, including a system called a “delay maze” that directs exhaust airflow through a large volume labyrinth before delivering it to the HVAC system.

All of this work is happening on a tight, urban site where three separate projects are taking place. Rockford is finalizing the Doug Meijer Medical Innovation Building for Michigan State, completing the outfitting for BAMF Health’s space and building a global headquarters for another tenant, all on the same site at the same time. This takes an incredible amount of logistics and planning to coordinate site access and the great number of tradespeople who work on site.

“We have the experience and great trade partners on our side to make difficult builds look easy,” McGovern said. “Even challenging projects can get done perfectly when planning and execution match up on site.”

Welcome, Snippetteers! Today’s offering is another slice of SoulShares #7, UNDERTOW. And I managed to keep it down to six sentences this time! The POV character for this snippet is Rhoann, a Water Fae and a healer.

So what was this, that he felt for Mac, if not love or a desire he had never known? This emotion so strong, he was determined to spend whatever of his own magick it might cost to heal a stranger, because doing so would make Mac’s heart sing.

Yet he suspected his own heart might sing as well, were he to see Lucien’s eyes open. To learn their color, let them wake emotion in him.

The cost of that song? Spending magick for a stranger, the way his mother had once spent magick for him.

And a couple of links to wrap things up…

So when my spouse suggested utilizing an experienced doula, we put forth serious effort in finding the perfect fit for our needs. That perfect fit for us, Brittney Brownell. She not only sat down with us and worked through our medical concerns but she took the time to educate us on the labor process and introduced techniques to aid with pain while at the hospital. I think the most unexpected perk of having a doula is the peace of mind that there is at least one more person on our team who supports and enforces our family’s medical plans.

For anyone looking for a doula; start with Brittney. Her knowledge will leave you feeling like you have nursing experience. You will be ready.

Amnesia, Spinning Plates…And LOTS Of Broken Crockery

My life is so hectic and busy … stressful… right now that I seem to be hurtling through the weeks and stuff only catches up with me/lands way after the event. Like, in the moment, I know whether something feels good or bad (in therapy) but it doesn’t seem to stick and make a solid memory right there and then. It’s almost as though I have the pictures in my mind but no time to glue them into the scrap book and so instead they fall out and float away when I am whizzing along. It feels like my short-term memory is completely fucked. I’m so forgetful!… I suppose I should be grateful that things catch up eventually.

Time is going so fast that I am struggling to do the basics: my house is a mess, I’m not keeping in touch with my friends, and last week was so dire that I even forgot to send Zoom links for my lessons until they were just about to commence – really professional eh?! I don’t know where my mind is but it’s not here. I think maybe there’s just so much firefighting going on that I can’t keep all my plates spinning. Yeah, that’s it, because as I start to slow a little now the holidays have started I notice there is a lot of broken crockery on the floor.

Last night I took myself off to bed early because I was just totally physically and emotionally done in. Things are really hard again at the moment in my adult life and it’s sent my all of my system into a complete meltdown which is hard going.

Deep breaths.

The therapy session I had on Friday was fronted by the protectors AGAIN and it was agonising for about forty minutes until Anita and I managed to connect and the young parts had a cuddle and sobbed for the remaining part of the session which helped a bit but there just wasn’t enough time and I came away feeling sad and annoyed that yet again the protective parts had ambushed me.

I don’t like it much at the moment. The physical stress my body is under when I am like that is awful. The pain is unreal and the pins and needles and goodness knows what else is just too much. I am constantly fighting dissociation. Inside there’s a part that desperately wants to run away and not be seen. The internal battle is immense…and I just don’t have to energy to be at war right now…and certainly not with myself. Fortunately, Anita is patient and present but those parts are really trying to give her a run for her money. It’s exhausting.

Honestly, these protectors are ridiculous!

What’s causing all this? Well, the ‘need’ for Anita feels so massive right now. And because things feel so bad, part of me is absolutely terrified of being too much for her and then being left. Anita assures me that she is not going anywhere and that all she wants to do is be there and make it better for me, but it’s hard to let that filter down after what happened with Em. When I’ve been dropped like a hot potato when I was at my most vulnerable and struggling it’s no wonder the system is doing all it can to prevent that from happening again. I feel like my brain and body have got stuck in flight mode.

Anyway, last night I sent Anita a GIF to say goodnight and few minutes later she’d sent me something lovely back. As I lay there about to go to sleep, in the orange light of my salt lamp, I recalled what I am about to write about now having had it completely skip my memory this last few weeks.

I’ve been so caught up in survival and protection mode in all areas of my life, not just therapy, that remembering this day/session cut through the protective crap I’ve encased myself in and made me realise I bloody don’t have to go to therapy wearing armour and keeping my distance from A! And it’s really settled me down. I felt really unsettled and disconnected yesterday and now I feel like it’s ok. It’s crackers really because there are so many times when Anita has been great, and present, and accommodating but this recent memory recall seems to have settled stuff more.

A few weeks ago, when it was heading towards the anniversary of my dad dying I had a really bad spell of feeling utterly panicked and unsettled. It’s not unusual for this to happen at this time of year – so many memories of that awful time come up and the reality that, now, my dad has been gone longer than half the time he was with me and that hits hard. He’s missed out on a lot…I’ve missed out on so much, too. And thirteen years down the line I feel like I am forgetting things about him and it’s painful. There’s still so much left unprocessed and unhealed – especially where my family is concerned but I realise now, that I will never get the closure I want, and I think I won’t feel like it’s over until my grandmother actually dies. It sounds harsh but I have done all I can and so until she’s gone I can’t fully close the door on it. Anyway, that’s another story…

On this particular week, my wife was away for work too. It’s never brilliant when she’s gone – I never sleep all that well and I generally feel less safe. Even though, rationally, I know nothing bad is going to happen, my body doesn’t get the memo. I’d been to therapy on the Monday and my protectors had been really on guard but fortunately Anita had been her incredible, attuned self and had helped me connect in the end. Phew.

I woke up on the Tuesday and felt absolutely terrible. Everything felt wrong. I knew my wife was going to be away and I honestly wasn’t sure how I was going to make it through the day, let alone through the week to Friday. Part of me wanted to prove to myself that I can power through like I have always done but another part just wanted to reach out for support and not always have to struggle so hard.

With Em I could never ask for more contact. She didn’t do check ins. She wouldn’t even read my texts (and they were rarely sent). There was no sense of there being a support in her…even in the sessions it felt like I was being watched in my pain rather than being supported in it. So sometimes my brain doesn’t catch on that things are different now and I can ask for what I need with Anita and if she can she will try and help and be there for me.

Tuesday is my biggest teaching day:  9:15-4, 4:30-5:30, and 6:30-7:30 and it’s all one-to-one with high need students. I enjoy what I do, but it takes its toll, especially when I am trying to keep my littles safe inside and function. So, I decided that I would text Anita and asked if we might be able to have a check in sometime during the week just to hold things until Friday. She responded that she could do that evening about 8pm if I wanted. That was a perfect time and I snapped it up and thanked her. She then asked me if I wanted to do WhatsApp or face to face. Of course, as I was alone with my kids that evening it had to be WhatsApp.

As much as I hate online therapy, in this sort of situation any contact is better than no contact and to be honest I only expected to chat for ten or fifteen minutes. It seemed odd therefore, that A had offered face to face as an option seeing as it’s a 40 minute drive to hers but it didn’t matter as I couldn’t see her anyway but it was nice that the offer was there.

Later that afternoon I got a call from my wife to say she would be coming home as there was COVID in the place she was meant to be working the next day and so there was no point in staying over at the hotel as she would work closer to home the next day. My brain took about half a second to realise that perhaps I would now be able to see Anita face to face after all, as my wife would be back on time to be with the kids. IT felt like a massive win.

I text Anita and asked her if I could come and see her in person. The parts that were so upset and struggling would benefit so much from that contact – especially after all the shenanigans that the protectors have been putting me through. That day all I wanted was to go in and have a cuddle and settle those little parts who were struggling so hard. Anita said that she’d look forward to seeing me when I could get there.

So I arrived at 8:10pm and we had a really lovely session. There was a lot of talk and processing of stuff but from the get go it was close and connected. It was an hour session (which I hadn’t expected) and the entire time I was cuddled into A. It felt so safe and holding.

I won’t go into detail because it’s not really relevant now. But what is relevant it that I had ‘forgotten’ about this session until last night. I have been putting myself through the emotional wringer for weeks worrying about whether Anita cares, or wants me near her, or if I am too much for her … when clearly that’s not the case at all. There is no way she’d do the things she does for me if that was how she felt.

So, the upshot is, remembering that extra unscheduled session from a few weeks ago where Anita was so holding and caring and present and attuned and and and… has done a lot to settle the parts that have been freaking out. I’m hoping, therefore, tomorrow that I can just go in and be how it is, not be armoured up and pushing A away. There’s no need to put in a pre-emptive strike…because there isn’t an attack coming …well, not from her at least.

I am so far behind with the blog so hopefully over the next week or so I’ll be able to get up to speed as there’s been some amazing healing work done in between me being shut down and wearing a giant ‘keep out’ sign.

    As always, I learn so much about my own journey from reading about yours! And so glad she was able to give you the extra session! The quote at the top is resonating with me deeply, it’s easy to think I’m doing well, when I’m avoiding all triggers, but this week, something happened that should have triggered me but didn’t…and that is how I know things are getting better.

    Serious question tho….so we slow down the runners by tying their shoelaces together. But how do we stop the protectors protecting?

    I’m tempted to say – put superglue in their water pistols?! But any more sensible suggestions? I had a two week break from therapy, so for the three sessions before, and now 2 weeks after, the protectors are doing their thing – “yes I’m fine, how are you T?” And it would be good if they would take their water pistols somewhere else and let the inner kids out….

      We need to ask the protectors why they feel so needed and what they’re frightened of. Understanding that and trying to make them feel safe is important – they’ll back down when they think the system is safe enough. Do you think you could email your T and give her the heads up that you’re being gagged by your protectors and are struggling to connect how you need?

    Wow. I’ve much to reflect on due to your post. This kind of work can be so hard. I’m an ambivalent runner lol! And I gag myself even when my system is quiet.

      Oh man I get it- a gagged runner! We don’t make it easy for ourselves do we? But then I think it’s just a real indicator of the level of trauma. The more the trauma the bigger and more insistent the protectors. Xx

    I love this. I mean, not that you are stressed and overloaded too much of the time. But that you can be away from Anita and conjure up the memory of a good session with her and feel comforted by it—that seems like such a big deal! 💜

    I can so relate to the amnesia and forgetting to do things, I feel like I’m working on a week delay, so am responding so late to things, and yep, I forgot to schedule zooms too! I hope you can get some down time soon to rest and recover.
    Big hugs xx

      Thanks Hun. It’s just all pretty overwhelming with job insecurity and work problems for my wife. People are leaving her place in droves due to bad managers. Lots of bullies. She’s looking to get out before she gets pushed. Nightmare. We just need stability. It’s not helping my system at all feeling powerless and vulnerable. I hope you get caught up soon. I think we could all do with an all expenses paid holiday to the Maldives! 😊

    The feeling of being watched in our pain and not supported in it is just so awful. I love that Anita provides the comfort that all parts of you need. 💗

      Totally. I really do wonder how I stuck it with Em for so long. I guess that feeling of being inadequate and unlovable was so deeply entrenched that I thought it was all I could reasonably expect. It makes the relationship with A all the sweeter though!

        Absolutely! So incredible that you found your way to A so she can help you unlearn all of the horrible beliefs that Em was reinforcing. 💗

class Gtk::TreeSelection

The Gtk::TreeSelection object is a helper object to manage the selection for a Gtk::TreeView widget. The Gtk::TreeSelection object is automatically created when a new Gtk::TreeView widget is created, and cannot exist independentally of this widget. The primary reason the Gtk::TreeSelection objects exists is for cleanliness of code and API. That is, there is no conceptual reason all these methods could not be methods on the Gtk::TreeView widget instead of a separate methods.

The Gtk::TreeSelection object is gotten from a Gtk::TreeView by calling Gtk::TreeView#selection. It can be manipulated to check the selection status of the tree, as well as select and deselect individual rows. Selection is done completely view side. As a result, multiple views of the same model can have completely different selections. Additionally, you cannot change the selection of a row on the model that is not currently displayed by the view without expanding its parents first.

One of the important things to remember when monitoring the selection of a view is that the "changed" signal is mostly a hint. That is, it may only emit one signal when a range of rows is selected. Additionally, it may on occasion emit a "changed" signal when nothing has happened (mostly as a result of programmers calling select_row on an already selected row).

Instance Methods

Gets the selection mode for selection. See Gtk::TreeSelection#mode=.
  • Returns: the current selection mode
Sets the selection mode of the selection. If the previous type was Gtk::SELECTION_MULTIPLE, then the anchor is kept selected, if it was previously selected.
Same as Gtk::TreeSelection#mode=.
set_select_function {|selection, model, path, path_currentry_selected| ... }
Sets the selection block. If set, this block is called before any node is selected or unselected, giving some control over which nodes are selected. The select block should return true if the state of the node may be toggled, and false if the state of the node should be left unchanged.
  • {|selection, model, path, path_currentry_selected| ... }: the selection block
    • selection: A Gtk::TreeSelection
    • model: A Gtk::TreeModel being viewed
    • path: The Gtk::TreePath of the row in question
    • path_currently_selected: true, if the path is currently selected
    • Returns : true, if the selection state of the row can be toggled
  • Returns: self
Returns the tree view associated with selection.
Gets iter to the currently selected node if selection is set to Gtk::SELECTION_SINGLE or Gtk::SELECTION_BROWSE. iter may be nil if you just want to test if selection has any selected nodes. This method will not work if you use selection is Gtk::SELECTION_MULTIPLE.
selected_each {|model, path, iter| ... }
Calls a block for each selected node.
  • {|model, path, iter| ... }: The block to call for each selected node.

data : user data to pass to the function.

  • Returns: self
Select the row at path.
Unselects the row at path.
Returns true if the row pointed to by path is currently selected. If path does not point to a valid location, false is returned.
  • path: A Gtk::TreePath to check selection on.
  • Returns: true if path is selected.
Selects the specified iterator.
Unselects the specified iterator.
Returns true if the row pointed to by path is currently selected.
Selects all the nodes. selection is must be set to Gtk::SELECTION_MULTIPLE mode.
  • Returns: self
Unselects all the nodes.
  • Returns: self
select_range(start_path, end_path)
Selects a range of nodes, determined by start_path and end_path inclusive.
  • start_path: The initial node of the range.
  • end_path: The final node of the range.
  • Returns: self

changed: self
Emitted whenever the selection has (possibly) changed. Please note that this signal is mostly a hint. It may only be emitted once when a range of rows are selected, and it may occasionally be emitted when nothing has happened.

Exclusive comments: Debbie Rochon and “MY BLOODY VALENTINE’s” Helene Udy “FREAK” out

Monday, June 29, 2020 | Exclusive, News

The independent psychological horror-thriller begins shooting this August on Philadelphia locations.

FREAK marks the feature writing/directing debut of Bianca Crespo, a former development coordinator at Millennium Films (TEXAS CHAINSAW 3D, THE PAPERBOY) who has also helmed several short films. Joining familiar genre actresses Debbie Rochon (MODEL HUNGER, THE THEATRE BIZARRE) and Helene Udy (MY BLOODY VALENTINE, PIN) in the cast is newcomer Amelia Duncombe. According to the official synopsis, the movie “follows Ava [Duncombe], a washed-up writer who escapes a traumatic event in LA and retreats to a remote cabin in the woods of Pennsylvania. But the longer she stays, the more she realizes that her nightmare has only just begun.” Crespo’s Santa Mira company is producing along with Frank Horror and Deck of Cards Entertainment.

“FREAK is scheduled to shoot in Santa Mira’s new headquarters in Philadelphia,” Crespo tells RUE MORGUE. “Fun fact: The studio is housed in a Kensington warehouse that’s known to be haunted, after it was discovered that it sits upon the old Franklin Cemetery dating back to the 1840s. The location is also unique since this is where I spent the bulk of my childhood, before it was converted into a rental management property and, most recently, production space. I remember experiencing several instances of paranormal activity as a child, and I’m aiming to bring this past fear to light in the film.”

Rochon recalls, “I was really excited when I read the script for FREAK. It jumped out with its multilayered symbolism, visuals and what it had to say. It reminded me of the great films you used to see come out in the underground of the New York City art scene. As a female director, Bianca is a new and rising talent in the horror genre. I look forward to being in the haunted shooting location, too!”

Michael Gingold
Michael Gingold (RUE MORGUE's Head Writer) has been covering the world of horror cinema for over three decades, and spent 28 years as a writer and editor for FANGORIA magazine and its website. In addition to RUE MORGUE, he currently writes for BIRTH.MOVIES.DEATH, SCREAM,, TIME OUT, DELIRIUM and others. His book THE FRIGHTFEST GUIDE TO MONSTER MOVIES (FAB Press) is out this fall, and he has contributed liner notes and featurettes to a number of Blu-ray and DVD releases. Among his screenplay credits are SHADOW: DEAD RIOT and LEECHES!, and he is currently working on THE DOLL with director Dante Tomaselli.

West Ridge IB Programme

International Baccalaureate (IB) is a nonprofit, educational foundation. It was founded in 1968 and offers three different educational programs that help students develop the intellectual, academic, personal, emotional and social skills to live, learn and work in a rapidly globalizing world.

Please visit the IB website for more detailed information on the programme.

Our Mission

The mission at West Ridge is to provide a rigorous, relevant and inquiry-based educational environment that challenges students to excel. We embrace a partnership with students, parents, educators and members of our community to attain these goals.

Learner Profile

The aim of all IB programmes is to develop internationally minded people who, recognizing their common humanity and shared guardianship of the planet, help to create a better and more peaceful world. The Learner Profile has 10 attributes/qualities that build international-mindedness. These attributes are the most important in creating positive and productive citizens of the world.

We want our students to be:

  • Inquirers
  • Knowledgeable
  • Thinkers
  • Communicators
  • Principled
  • Open-minded
  • Caring
  • Risk-takers
  • Balanced
  • Reflective

Primary Years Programme

The Primary Years Programme (PYP) is the official curriculum framework and teaching methodology of the International Baccalaureate Organization (IBO) developed to meet the needs of the whole child, in the classroom as well as the world outside, through other environments where children learn.

The PYP:

  • Emphasizes learning  through active inquiry.
  • Provides a set of organizing themes that helps schools to incorporate state and district content standards into a balanced program of knowledge, concepts, skills, attitudes and action that addresses the needs of the whole child.
  • Combines the best practices to create a relevant, engaging, significant, and challenging educational framework.

Primary Years Programme Philosophy

The PYP is committed to structured inquiry as the main way of learning.  Every year students will study six units of inquiry that are driven by a set of key concept questions matching six universal transdisciplinary themes. These themes are:

  • Who We Are
  • Where We Are in Place & Time
  • How We Express Ourselves
  • How the World Works
  • How We Organize Ourselves
  • Sharing the Planet

Students explore reading, math, social studies, science, health, physical education and the arts through these themes. These units of inquiry are interdisciplinary, meaning traditional subject areas are interwoven into the themes where possible.
