CANADIAN MUSEUM FOR HUMAN RIGHTS — A CALL FOR INCLUSIVENESS, EQUITY AND FAIRNESS

Featured Article #2

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.

The Origins of the Name Canada

Featured Article #6

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, Canadian history is not a subject taught in the schools, per se. Education remains in provincial jurisdiction so each region features their preferred understandings of Canada’s history. As such, there are many competing theories on how Canada came to be known and called. All of them fascinating and equally compelling, but only three theories tend to capture the hearts and minds of historians and researchers more so than the others. They are presented here momentarily.

Who Designed the World’s Smallest Robot?

Who Designed the World’s Smallest Robot?

 

 

By Ihor Cap

 

 

“Super size that for you?” says the Fast Food vendor at the shopping mall food court. “We have a pocket version of that, if you’re interested,” declares the shop assistant. Our world is busy super sizing or extra sizing all sorts of goodies to serve up BIG deals for its customers. There is also much activity around downsizing and miniaturizing to make small things even smaller. One of the most contentious and fascinating declarations that abound the internet is the claim to the world’s smallest robot. 

 

So, who designed the smallest robot? Well, after perusing a few articles and videos on the subject, the answer to this question largely depends on how you define robot to begin with. Are we talking about a stationary robot or a mobile one? Does it have arms, legs or wheels? Can it see? How many sensors must it have? Does it contain its own power source? Is it useful or helpful to humanity in any way or is it just a useless tool causing us all kinds of unnecessary grief? Maybe it’s a little of both.

 

As you can see, my original question of “Who designed the world’s smallest robot?” just generated a multitude of other related but important questions. Short of establishing an academic or trade advisory committee to render a decision on this matter, I decided that I‘d leave it entirely up to you. You decide! If you are even a bit curious, inspired or intrigued by the wonderful world of robots and robotics, I have compiled a Playlist of choice videos on the subject and some reading material to help you explore the subject further.  Believe you me. If I had to come up with a list of words to label what I saw in these videos, words like unbelievable, awesome, WOW, Cool, and just plain downright Creepy come to mind! See for yourself and ask your friends what word they would use to describe what they see here in these videos. Here is my YouTube Playlist/URL (permalink) http://www.youtube.com/view_play_list?p=7C617587ED9DD833.
