CANADIAN MUSEUM FOR HUMAN RIGHTS — A CALL FOR INCLUSIVENESS, EQUITY AND FAIRNESS
Featured Article
The CMHR represents a unique opportunity for Canada to be recognized as a leader in reflecting and further advancing contemporary research on genocide and human rights and in telling the story of all genocides without any attempt to represent the suffering of one nation, tribe or community as having been of more relevance or importance than any other’s. All attempts to do so argue fundamentally do an injustice to the memory of the many millions of victims of genocide throughout the ages, whether they suffered in Europe, or somewhere else.
How did Canada get its name? Most Canadians, if asked about the origins of the name “Canada”, will admittedly lament their ignorance of that part of Canadian history. Of those that do remember, they might even recall the “official” version of how Canada got its name, the one they received from the TV commercial “A Part Of Our Heritage – Canada.” After all, ...

We make use of hydraulic fitting mechanism in our lives in one way or the other. Starting from the brake in our cars to the elevators in our apartments to other heavy machines, hydraulic system is widely in use. Fitness equipment is not any different from these. There are many exercise machines that work on the principle of hydraulics.
When we talk about hydraulic fitness equipment, it implies those fluid operated machines used for strength training through resistance. Hydraulic fitness machines are designed to be balanced and stable offer an excellent workout for every person at any fitness level.
How does a hydraulic fitness equipment works?
A hydraulic exercise machine is made with a hydraulic cylinder. The cylinder helps the person using the equipment to work at various levels of exertion without making any adjustments to the machine.
Hydraulic cylinders use oil or fluid. ...
There are tons of cable ties available on the market today, but one of the most useful varieties are nylon cable ties. These are intended to be reused over and over, and so instead of having to cut it in order to untie it, or weakening its integrity by pushing a needle between the ratchet and box, you can simply tear them off and re-stick them when necessary. Here, we'll take a look at some of the advantages of using nylon ties, as well as some of the uses that people find for them.
nylon cable ties are a great alternative to standard ones primarily because they are reusable. Because they use nylon to seal the tie, they can be torn apart and reused thousands of times before losing any integrity. These ties are fantastic for any number of applications, and there are specialized versions for different industries. For example, there are blue versions that have small amounts of metal ...
London As a key failure point, gearbox reliability continues to dog the wind industry and as turbines become larger the push to improve performance becomes paramount. Alstom believes it has addressed the issue by ensuring that torque transmission is performed independently of rotor support. This improves the reliability of turbine drive train components, in particular the gearbox, which is better protected and subjected to lower loads. Jordi Puigcorbe and Alexis de-Beaumont explain.
One of the biggest concerns remaining in the wind industry is the reliability of the gearbox. 'With our current wind turbine fleet currently going out of warranty period, we estimate that we are carrying a potential risk on gearboxes of about US$300 million. Failures are still relatively rare these days because our fleet is recent, but we expect this will change dramatically as our wind turbines approach ...
Folding exercise bike including a transmission box driven by pedals making a rotating bush at its output shaft drive a universal joint and drive a saddle supporter, thus permitting forward and backward motion of the saddle. Meanwhile, the universal joint drives connecting rods to pull a handle to turn the handle inward and outward, thus making the bike have a multi-functional exercise effect. The main frame, handle supporter and saddle supporter are also capable of being knocked down to reduce the volume of the bike for easy packing, transport and warehousing.
This invention relates to a folding exercise bike, more particularly to an exercise bike with a pedal driven transmission box permitting a rotating bush at its output shaft to drive a universal joint to pull a saddle supporter making forward andbackward motion possible. Meanwhile, the universal joint pulls the handle to permit ...
One of the most high-intensity lighting fixtures on the market, growing with metal halide lamp makes sense due to their high output and low energy use. They are efficient, portable, and yield noticeable results for the indoor gardener. Originally invented in the 1960's for use in the industrial arena, since then this type of lighting has also been heavily used in sports arenas, due to its strong white light that is emitted. More recently, the bulbs have been adapted to be suitable as a highly efficient aid in plant growth.
Other lighting structures or schemes can be used by the indoor gardener, but growing with metal halide lamps has a distinct set of benefits. Because they can be adjusted to a certain exact frequency and emit blue light, this makes them particularly useful for jobs that require a highly specific output, such as coral reef aquariums, or indoor plant growing. The heat ...
A fireplace damper my go unnoticed by most homeowners, but it is an integral part of the operation of any home fireplace. An improperly used or malfunctioning fireplace damper can result in an inefficient fireplace - especially when not being used.
The fireplace damper is usually located above the actual fireplace in the throat of the chimney just above the firebox. The function of the damper is to seal the fireplace when not in use. This is important because without a proper seal, heated air from your home will escape right up the chimney. From a home efficiency standpoint, air escaping up the chimney is like throwing money out the window. An open or leaky damper can add hundreds to the cost of heating your home in the winter.
The majority of home fireplace dampers are made of metal. Properly functioning dampers should form a seal which should allow for ...
Cable ties have evolved through many uses with time. Formerly made for industrial application, there have been many uses formed these days.
They were made for industries that had a lot of loose wires hanging around because of which a great amount of space used to be occupied by them. However, with more and more industries accepting them, cable wires got to be used by individuals also where some people using it as a form of art work. Thus, all weird types of uses have been derived from cable tie alone that one can think of.
Before buying cable tie, one should first focus on his or her need. Whether they are being bought for a manufacturing business, for tying up prisoners (Plasticuffs), garbage bags or computer accessories determine what type and sort of ties will be bought.
For example, self locking stainless steel ties are used in aircraft and vehicle engine, self adhesive tie ...
There are so many exercise bikes available that it's easy to be overwhelmed. Spinning bikes, stationary bikes, dual action bikes, and recumbent bikes are probably some of the terms you've heard. It's almost as though you have to be a fitness equipment engineer to understand the differences! Here's a quick summary of these confusing terms.
Spinning Bikes
You've probably heard about the spin craze that has become so popular in health clubs. Spinning bikes usually have at least a front wheel that spins (which is why they are so brilliantly named spinning bikes). These bikes might be the current fad, but they aren't very comfortable. The seats are small and hard. The classes make these boring bikes more interesting, but as home exercise bikes, they quickly become tedious.
Stationary Bikes
Stationary bikes (or upright bikes) are the exercise bikes that most people can identify. It's the ...
Generally when two metallic objects work in a position in which they are in a physical link with each other then there is a huge risk of breakage and leakage. So in a situation in which two metallic objects are working together with a physical there is a need of a gasket. Spiral wound Gasket is actually used as a filling between the two metallic objects working together. The use of gaskets results in lowering the cost for the use of machines. The filling between the mechanical objects is basically mechanical seal coating which results in long life operations of machines.
Spiral wound gasket can be manufactured with a plenty of raw material. Examples of these raw materials are silicon, rubber, paper and many more. The use of raw material for a gasket mainly depends on the type of use and the place and temperature where the gasket is supposed to be placed. For some applications gaskets ...
As the summer days head into cooler fall weather, the timing is right for golfers both amateur and avid to look for good deals heading toward the end of warmer weather. However, even regular golfers may shirk golf irons at the high prices of golf clubs and accessories at golf shops and pro shops throughout the country.
Golfers need to look to second hand shops, retail stores, and online in order to purchase new equipment or add on accessories to their golf bag. There are certainly advantages and disadvantages to purchasing used golf items, but the most important consideration for consumers is cost efficiency. Cost efficiency can be roughly figured out by looking at how often a person golfs and how expensive the golf equipment. Purchasing an expensive driver or premium golf balls may not be the best idea for the casual golfer but their durability may be important for a golf professional. ...
For years Cobra Golf had been riding on the past success of their original King Cobra oversize line of products, years passed where new products came out, such as golf irons, taylormade driver, bakugans, but nobody out there really noticed let alone bought their equipment.
It was not until a few years ago that Cobra Golf started to re-introduce the King Cobra name to the market, and again creating a buzz that is still going strong today. I have reviewed many products from their new King Cobra line and hope that you will again give them a look.
The King Cobra S9 golf irons are the mid handicap players dream. It has forgiveness and looks at a great price! The S9 golf irons feature a oversize club head to help players hit the center of the face more often, a wide sole so that they do not have to worry about catching shots just a little fat and watching them dribble into the water, and a ...
Cured thermoset plastics artefacts are made directly from a non-homogeneous blend of a filler and a solid particulate thermosetting material, by use of a screw injection plastic mold machine which is operated to cause the non-homogeneous blend to plasticize or flux so that a homogeneous intimate mixture of the filler and the thermosetting material is formed in the barrel of the machine. Thus, the plastic mould sequence includes the provision or formation of the non-homogeneous blend in the barrel.
This invention concerns improvements in or relating to the plastic mould of thermosetting plastic mould compositions. An essential feature of the manufacture of thermosetting plastic mould compositions has been the pre-mastication of the thermosetting resinous material with the filler so that the latter becomes fully compounded with, impregnated by, and coated with, the resinous material. ...
Golf irons have a front face with substantially hyperbolic forward convexity. A common problem in golf is the slice produced as a result of striking the ball off-center relative to the centered sweet spot at the front face of an iron head. While front faces have been made with different inclinations, the unwanted "slice",and also "hook" remain as problems.
It is a major object of the invention is to provide an improved iron head that combines the objectives of increasing the self-correcting spin of the ball with the desired visual effect of a trapezoidal head front face. Basically, the head ischaracterized by the front face having bulge curvature defined by intersections with that face of planes generally normal to that face, such intersections defining curved lines which are substantially hyperbolic, with formed convexity. This is typicallyemployed in a trapezoidal ...
For weight distribution in a golf irons club head, the use of construction material from a location thereon never used in play, namely centrally along a top edge of the ball-striking face, advantageously relocated to the toe, sole, heel or combinations thereof, to contribute to sweet spot-enhancement in at least two respects, viz.
First, that weight in the removal location is counterproductive to a good hit and removal is a benefit even if not relocated elsewhere, and second that said weight that is relocated being sourced from the club head itself, does not change the overall swing weight of the club head, which typically is selected according to the size and handicap of the golfer and should remain unchanged.
In golf irons club head manufacture, it is understood that the club head embodies what, in golf parlance, is known as a "sweet spot" acknowledged to be the medial ...
There is disclosed a set of golf irons which have progressively decreasing displacements between the axis of the shaft and the center of mass projected to the horizontal plane beginning with the long irons and progressing to the short irons.
Each iron in the set also has a support column behind the striking face, parabolic shaped horizontal grooves in the striking face with a top junction between the striking face and each groove, the top junction and groove sides defined by a segment of a parabola, the longest groove length in the striking face of each club proportional to the club displacement, and a flat segment on the sole.
This invention relates generally to golf irons and more particularly concerns a set of golf irons including long distance irons and short distance irons which set, beginning with the long irons, has progressively descreasing displacement betweenthe center line ...
Fashion Trends and Popular Styles and Colors.The Wedding Dress - How did it all begin?
Did you ever wonder how the tradition of wearing a wedding dress came about? Wedding dresses have been worn by brides young and old alike for centuries. In modern times almost anything passes for a wedding dress however, in times of old, traditional wedding dresses were flowing gowns usually white in color.
White is usually accepted as the "traditional" color of gowns, and many designer wedding gowns are still fashioned in this color, representing the "purity" and "innocence" of the bride to be. Many women opt for other colors, including blue, pink, cream, yellow and more.
Wedding dresses have changed with time much as everything in the world has. In times of old most women selected a gown based on her financial status. Women who were at an economic disadvantage ...
