Extractions: A Newsletter of Eagles Byte Historical Research September 1997 No. 23 If you look up Yellowknife in a 1935 world atlas, at least one published in the U. S., you'll come up empty-handed. The provincial capital of the North West Territories, an area covering well over a million square miles, does not appear on the map or in the index. Yet the area's been visited often down through the millennia. First to arrive, as the 4th (Wisconsinian) glacial period receded across the North American continent, were the Hay River and the Slave River. Arising on the eastern slope of British Columbia's Rocky Mountains the Hay River flowed generally north-northeast. The Slave River, coming out of Alberta and Saskatchewan's Athabasca Lake flowed north-northwest. Their paths crossed at a irregularly-shaped,11,000 square mile glacier-gouged depression in the earth's surface and their waters created the eleventh largest lake in the world. Great Slave Lake. And when the depression had filled with their waters, the overflow gouged or followed a path northwestward across the plains and tundra, eventually emerging into the Arctic Ocean at a point about a hundred miles to the east of the Alaskan border. The stage was set for human visitors. The area around the southern shore of the lake was settled by the Slavey band. So named by the Cree and Chipewyan tribes, who often took members of the band prisoner and made bondsmen of them, they would leave their unflattering name on the area, in the name of a river and as the Great Slave Lake. Those on the northern shore were known as the Yellowknife due to the copper found in the metal of their knife blades, giving their name to the city.

Extractions: Independent Living Odds and Ends 125. To identify keys, put a piece of brightly colored tape, which can be easily seen or felt, around the key. Similarly, put a colored plastic hood (available from hardware and department stores) over the key top. Most places which copy keys have them available in a wide variety of colors. 126. Each household item should have a specific place and should be returned there immediately after use. Don't just drop something! That way you won't have to spend a lot of time looking for it when it is next needed. Encourage other family members to also return items to their proper place. After all, organization makes it easier for everyone to find things! 127. It is not necessary to rearrange furniture in a special way in your home, but some changes may be helpful. For example, a coffee table with sharp edges may be moved out of the main circulation area. Also, remember to keep doors, closet doors, and cupboard doors all the way open or all the way shut. Half open doors are dangerous! 128. Stairs can be hazardous! Mark the leading edge of each step with a paint or non-skid material of a color which contrasts with the stairs themselves. Paint the handrail in a bright contrasting color. It should extend past the top and bottom steps as a guide to know where the steps begin. Use a contrasting color and/or a different texture floor material, such as carpet, on the top and bottom landings.

Extractions: Dateline: Zimbabwe The lucky customer in Zimbabwe Banking Corporation's recent promotional lottery turned out to be an account holder named Robert Mugabe. "Master of Ceremonies Fallot Chawawa could hardly believe his eyes when the ticket drawn for the Z$100,000 (US$2,639) was handed to him," the bank said in a statement. Robert Mugabe is the president of Zimbabwe. Dateline: England British police have agreed to pay out 55,000 pounds ($88,620) to a group of 11 Kurdish refugees after storming a theater in which the group was rehearsing a Harold Pinter play about state oppression. Back in June of 1996, Metropolitan police raided the Kurdistan Worker's Association community center in north London, fearing that a terrorist group had taken hostages within the building. Based upon a tip from a concerned neighbor, police sent helicopters, armed response units and between 50 and 60 officers to take the community center. After some 4 1/2 hours of manhandling, handcuffing and interrogating the suspects, it was determined that the Kurds had not taken any hostages, but were, in fact, rehearsing a play called Mountain Language by noted playwright Harold Pinter. Pinter, one of Britain's leading dramatists, wrote the play after visiting Turkey and witnessing the persecution of the Kurds firsthand.

Extractions: Let us know what you think Home Odds and Ends By MANGAIRE SUGACH The Ballyguiltenane Journal and Adare lectures I HAVE been writing longer about the Ballyguiltenane Rural Journal than I have been about any other of the County Limerick parish, or local journals. This is not surprising, for the most recent issue of this unique annual journal is its 24th. The current number has articles, stories or features from no less than fifty-five different contributors, very many of whom have been writing for the journal year after year. Ballyguiltenane, as I have said on numerous occasions when writing about its journal, is not even a parish; it is a completely rural townland located between Glin and Athea. Pat Brosnan, Knocknagorna, well known contributor to this, and various other West Limerick publications, gives us his "Impressions of Canada," a country he visited with his wife Mary, at the beginning of last September. they were visiting a married daughter, who lives with her husband in Ottawa. Pat gives a very good description of all they saw during their visit. Among scores of other places they saw were the Niagra Falls on the US/Canadian border, and the Museum of Civilisation in Ottawa, which tells the story of Canada from the earliest times to the present day. in the Museum one can learn about the culture of the Red Indians, and see some of their artefacts. And they saw the All-Ireland hurling final between Tipperary and Galway in the D'Arcy McGee Bar in Ottawa, being charged twenty dollars each to see the match on the wide screen. Pat noticed that in Ottawa, which, of course, is the capital of Canada, the road signposts, street names, public notices, etc. were in English and French, for Canada is a bilingual country. In Quebec, the French speaking part of Canada, the signs were in French only.
Odds & Ends The Atkinson family does not seem to have any important events or persons.Two members of the second generation born in Canada still survive http://www.theatkinsonfamily.com/odds.html
Extractions: "I should have married an Atkinson" Robert, son of the original William and Sarah, married Mary A. Willson and farmed on Lot #7 in the 4th concession. He had a number of children, one of which was James Wesley. He married Helena J. Shaw on April 17, 1889 in Detroit. They had one child, Sylvanus Leroy. But, on or near the day of his birth his mother died leaving James Wesley and son Leroy. The child was taken in by his grandparents Shaw, and took the name Atkinson/Shaw. He married Edith Ford and had a number of children one of which was Garnet, the husband of our subject today. James Wesley died in Detroit in 1929 and soon after Leroy dropped the Atkinson name. Mr. And Mrs. Garnet Shaw have two children, Beverly and Clayton. Had Leroy not taken the Shaw name after the death of his father, a whole line of descendants would have been named Atkinson and we would have been interviewing Mrs. Garnet Atkinson. Centennial Project - Century Farms A 1967 government sponsored project recognized farms which have been in the same family for one hundred or more years. The Atkinsons submitted an application.

Best Of E-Learning 2.0 September 16, 2005 I spent the day at the Canadian Heritage Information Network engaged in a lengthy and free-wheeling discussion of the concepts surrounding E-Learning 2.0 Although the PowerPoint Slides for my presentation today are basically the same as those I used in Edmonton a few months ago, the discussio0n was much more wide ranging. Audio segments (each about an hour): Part One Part Two Part Three Comment ... What E-Learning 2.0 means To You September 14, 2005 PowerPoint Slides and MP3 Audio of my presentation today at the Transitions in Advanced Learning Conference in Ottawa. In this talk I discuss the changing nature of knowledge and learning, illustrate how this changing nature leads to what is being called Web 2.0o, and outline the nature and success factors involved in designing learning resources and services in this environment. the presentation is a bit uneven - my brilliant opening fell completely flat, and the more theory-oriented approach didn't resonate (not at first, to be sure). And maybe it was the wrong message for this mostly private-sector group. But - in my view - it's a message the e-learning industry in Canada needs to hear, and if that means a rocky and difficult presentation, then I will suffer it.
