<p> Canada </p>
<p> Canada, are out for the rural areas and pockets in the western Bible Belt annoying in a fixed paradigm. Here is how the problem is that most books evangelical / protestant, media, ideas, videos and what have you, comes from the southern United States. Canadian practitioners usually consume American products for their faith assemble information. Why is this a problem? Well, what perspective you that these materials represent? A unique Canadian perspective? </P> What do you think? Canadians should continue to be the mood of the U.S. media, because you believe America is God&#8217;s chosen people? Or should we direct and write our own history? </P> America is in a different culture from that of Canada, although we are close, do not close is close enough. The majority of the materials in Canada comes from the U.S. South, as mentioned above, which is a problem because most of the life in the U.S. South still a Christian. </P> But not for large urban areas and across most countries. The influence of the churches in society to the point that we can not expect decreases. In America is not the separation of the state of the church so widespread in many regions. Not so in Canada (and increasingly not the case in the U.S.). </P> The increase in immigration and the declining influence of the church in society, means, among other things, Christians can not afford to Joe Schmoe, who lives next door to work or do not know anything about the history of the Gospel. How to deal with the problems the Canadians sucking and eating every last bit of information from the United States to join? Well, the different perspective of the infiltration of the United States, Canada and the Canadians are asking why normal people in society / culture thinks Christian views are intolerant, archaic and confusing. </P> solution? It is time for Canada to play their own songs. One of the &#8220;syndromes cousin for Canadians is that they worry too much about what their friends think of them south. So they do what they can, perhaps sometimes unconsciously, to obtain the approval of their American colleagues. It is time for the Canadians, their own stories about their own culture, to write their own situation. </P> Point Case in, Canada has been exposed to the debate over same-sex marriage, and it was closed, putting out the other end of the social spectrum the United States. If you think it is good or bad, is the fact Canadians are injured when they only American materials when it comes to addressing their faith </p>
<p> Here are some ideas .. kiss Canadians have . stop the church as an organization, many mega-churches in America to produce materials, such as to maintain a good church to the two problems are present: Canadian churches are not &#8220;approach the size of America, and the operation of the church as an organization -. a non-profit-maximization &#8211; is detrimental to the Church in the Canadian rule. Rather, the need for the church to immerse in the community really rather than trying to attract people into their doors is a better action plan for Canadians. </P></p>

			<content:encoded><![CDATA[<p>From: Tamoikins Museum<br />
To: Government of Canada</p>
<p>2009</p>
<p><strong>REGULATION AND MANAGEMENT OF CULTURAL PROPERTY IN CANADA</strong></p>
<p>Cultural property, more known as art, antiquity and collectibles, is an inseparable part of every nation. Virtually every government, business or individual has contact with objects of culture and heritage. Publicly owned cultural property located on city streets, in museums, and government institutions is the key source of revenue for every municipality nationwide. For the past decade the international market of art, antiquity and collectibles has quietly grown into an economical giant. It has become a multibillion dollar sector, far exceeding gold and diamond markets. That said, it remains one of the least regulated and the last unregulated markets in North America.</p>
<p>Officially, the global market of cultural property is estimated at 30 to 50 billion US dollars (yearly circulation). Because most of the transactions are conducted under the shadow of privacy, no one truly knows the actual value of this economic sector. Most recent estimates place it roughly at 200 billion dollars per year. Absence of necessary laws and regulatory systems provide perfect conditions for wide range of criminal activities on all levels. Unfortunately, Canada is no exception.</p>
<p>As a nation of immigrants, and one of few developed countries in the world that actively promotes immigration, Canada has to deal with many issues involving cultural property from all over the world. Without proper regulations in Canada, not only does this large sector remain untapped, it essentially undermines the country’s development causing financial and cultural degradation. On the other hand, with proper laws and regulation this massive influx of art, antiquity and collectibles can become one of the most profitable sectors of economy. In addition to imported and exported goods, Canada already has a very large amount of cultural items within its borders. This property requires just as much government oversight as any other valuable commodity. Due to the complete absence of necessary regulatory laws, as it stands, our government cannot tap into this very large source of revenue. On top of that, until this situation changes our nation will, unknowingly, continue to sponsor various criminal activities ranging from tax evasion and fraud to monopoly and even terrorism.</p>
<p><strong>To be more direct let’s outline the problems. At present time our government: </strong></p>
<p>Has no uniform standard of appraisal of cultural property and thus cannot effectively evaluate objects of art, antiquity and collectibles.  Has no uniform standard of registering cultural property and thus cannot effectively document most valuable information and preserve our history.  Has no uniform standard to manage identity of cultural property and thus cannot effectively authenticate, track and book-keep national heritage.  Has no system to manage and regulate import / export of cultural property Has no way of effectively regulating (taxing, auditing and governing) the market of cultural property.  Does not know the value of cultural property in public possession (museum, galleries, libraries, government buildings…). Does not know the value of cultural property in private possession.</p>
<p><strong>Resulting in:</strong></p>
<p>Millions of dollars of unpaid taxes (intentionally and unintentionally) Incorrect balance books of every city and town in North America Undervaluation of Canada’s wealth locked in tangible assets (private and public)  Tax evasion through use of cultural property Uncontrolled import/export of priceless cultural artefacts  Uncontrolled money flow by terrorists and criminals through undisclosed sales of cultural property Inadequate and unenforceable cultural property laws  Degradation of national heritage and loss of valuable national rarities</p>
<p><strong>Effected sectors and organizations:</strong></p>
<p>Revenue agencies Border service agencies  Policing and law enforcement organizations (Interpol, RCMP…) Law institutions Museums and galleries (public and private)  Insurance companies Banking and money lending institutions All owners of cultural property Auctioneers Antiques and collectibles businesses Dealers of art, antiquity and collectibles Appraisal institutions Culture and heritage organizations  Educational institutions</p>
<p><strong>Solution:</strong></p>
<p>The answer is four well-implemented systems that act as a regulatory basis on top of which a reliable structure can be developed. The 4 systems are:</p>
<p><strong>1. Universal Appraisal System (UAS) </strong>© &#8211; could be defined as the world’s first logical evaluation method that is fully auditable, transparent, and can be used by anyone to appraise ANY cultural property; it provides the true fair market value and level of liquidity to date. Must be accepted as government standard.</p>
<p><strong>2.</strong> <strong>Complete Item Information Document (CIID) </strong>© – can be defined exactly as it is named, a document where all the information that is known about the item is registered to the last detail in written, photographical, and digital form. This document is also the first of its kind so it can only be related to a certificate or a passport but is so much more. Must be accepted as government standard.</p>
<p><strong>3.</strong> <strong>Secure Item Identification System (SIIS) </strong>© – can be defined as a way to give the item its unique identity that cannot be duplicated. Parallels can be drawn between the VIN (Vehicle Identification Number), your personal Social Security Number or currency counterfeit protection system hidden within each dollar, euro or any other currency that identifies it as a single unique entity. Must be accepted as government standard.</p>
<p><strong>4. Unified National Database (UND) </strong>© – can be defined as an electronic database where all of the above information, such as appraisal data, item information data, ID data and all additional information that may be necessary is securely stored and managed by private and/or government sector. More simply, the national database is a place where all of the country’s cultural property is registered. Must be government regulated.<strong> </strong></p>
<p><strong>Outcomes:</strong></p>
<p>Universal Appraisal System (UAS) is the single most effective tool for regulating the cultural property sector. Once implemented at the level of government all financial troubles, criminal activities and inconsistencies will be under control, revenue and economical growth will increase significantly in every city, and finally a great level of security will be provided to all cultural property within a region. That is made possible because UAS is the world’s first to use a logical, fully transparent, completely auditable method to evaluate any type of cultural property, providing the user with a single clear number (appraised value) that can be explained to the last dime. More benefits to the system is that it can be used by virtually anyone with a high school education, it is bias free, and almost entirely error proof. From a business perspective, UAS will be highly demanded by all owners of cultural property opening a significant revenue source for local municipalities.</p>
<p>Complete Item Information Document (CIID), once accepted as government standard, will become a passport for each cultural item within our nation and beyond. Essentially, CIID will become a standardized form for every organization that interacts with cultural property. This document will hold all known information about an item in a consistent format clearly and thoroughly representing the item to authorities or any other interested party. A rarity with proper CIID will be instantly recognized in every agency and organization, allowing easy management of art, antiquity and collectibles within the country. Additionally, CIID will add anther level of security to the item and the owner by preserving valuable historic information in the best manner possible and will be the only appropriate document to represent the item in case of theft or loss to authorities, insurance companies or other involved institutions. CIID will be highly demanded by all owners of cultural property opening a significant revenue source for local municipalities.</p>
<p>Secure Item Identification System (SIIS) is perhaps the single most important system that locks and guards the identity of an item. Consisting of Visual and Hidden Identification Markers, it allows authorities to 100% identify a marked rarity no matter where it is or who owns it (just like a VIN on a car). Once implemented on government level, all cultural property within Canada will be much more secure. Border Service Agency will be able to mark, track and identify every rarity entering or leaving the country. Local police and RCMP will acquire a powerful tool that combats theft and forgery, significantly assisting recovery of stolen objects. Financially this system has proven to be very popular with art owners bringing in high revenue to its operator.</p>
<p>Unified National Database will store, backup and manage all input from the three other systems becoming a very powerful logistical tool in government hands. With the help of UND, authorities will be able to track, administrate, update, communicate, gather statistical data, research, post alerts, and govern the largest potion of cultural popery within their region (city, province or country). UND is a great source for revenue with endless possibilities.</p>
<p><strong>To place all 4 systems into perspective here is how they would work together: First, the identity of a cultural item is secured with SIIS; now the item cannot be counterfeited, switched or mistaken for something else. Second, a CIID is created; thorough research and authentication is done to identify the item and all information obtained is systematically registered into a CIID. This stage uncovers (forever preserving) valuable historic information. Third, knowing everything about the item to date, the UAS is applied providing a transparent calculation with totally explainable and undisputable true market value (appraisal) of the serviced item. Finally all of this information is registered into an electronic database that stores, backs-up, and manages this cultural item. </strong></p>
<p><strong>Effects:</strong></p>
<p>For the first time each town, municipality, province and Canada as a country will be able to see, account and determine the exact value of cultural property within its borders. For the first time Canada Revenue Agency (CRA) will be able to accurately determine and register art, antiquity and collectibles as tangible assets. CRA will be able to accurately determine tax income made from cultural property. Border Service Agency, for the first time will be able to accurately register, track and determine the value of cultural property entering and leaving the country, applying appropriate taxes or conditions if necessary. For the first time regional governments will be able to know the true value of publicly owned cultural property on their balance books. Museums and all other institutions that own cultural property will not only receive the best protection available but in addition will cut their insurance costs by half. Government and private insurance companies will become totally independent from current biased methods when apprising national rarities. For the first time government will be able to effectively regulate and audit all financial aspects of the art, antiquity and collectibles market. Fraud, forgery and theft will be lowered to a minimum. Contraband trade of endangered cultural artefacts and shadow (under the table) dealings will become extremely difficult. Appraisal shopping will be entirely eliminated. Banks and money lending institutions will be able to provide credit to average citizens using their rarities as collateral, something that is available only to very wealthy individuals at the moment. Average citizens, the largest of owners of cultural property, will be protected from appraisal fraud, forgery, theft, and many other problems, thus becoming more culturally and financially engaged. Price manipulation, one of the most common fraudulent activities in the art market will become nearly impossible. Over all, the entire sector of cultural property will not only be stabilized and properly regulated, it will change into one of the most transparent and safest sectors in Canada.</p>
<p><strong>From the author:</strong></p>
<p><strong>For the past decade our museum and scientific department has been researching and developing solutions to various problems that involve cultural property resulting in the creation of very innovative regulatory system for the entire market of cultural property.</strong></p>
<p><strong>I would like to state with all responsibility that a group of scientists, myself included, developed and tested everything that is necessary to solve all of the above stated problems. We have every necessary tool, system and product shown above to effectively regulate this entire sector. Most importantly we wish to donate all our innovations (the 4 regulatory systems) to the Government of Canada free of charge for nonprofits use. In return, all that we are asking is for the government to acknowledge this very significant problem and begin taking necessary actions to recover from it. </strong></p>

			<content:encoded><![CDATA[<p>Has studying abroad always been your dream? Is foreign destination what you aim for your higher studies? Well then what better answer can there be to the destination than a country rich in education and diversity, the country with plethora of courses – Canada.</p>
<p>For those looking forward to study abroad, Canada has become a very popular option in the recent past. With its diversity in land, culture and courses to study, a lot of students nowadays are opting to go to Canada more and more for their higher studies; especially Indian students are opting for this peaceful country more and more when it comes to higher studies abroad.</p>

Business schools commonly use the test as one of many selection criteria for admission into an MBA program. It is given at various locations around the world. Data has shown that GMAT</p>
<p>scores are consistently good, though imperfect, predictors of academic success in the first year of business school. Computer</p>

One can chose from various options like – high school diploma, degree courses, summer sessions, exchange students, four years course, two years course, and can even go for part time or full time courses either on the campus or via internet.</p>
<p>Ability to speak and write a foreign language has significant attribute in many professional fields. Career in foreign language has always been a rewarding proposal for one who has a talent for languages. A person who knows any of the foreign languages has opportunities to work in Government or political fields as interpreter or translator. Librarianship and specially some education fields also require foreign language knowing people. For doing a job of either interpreter or a translator both require very good command over two or more languages.</p>
<p>Immigration to Canada is the process by which people migrate to Canada to reside permanently in the country. Many, but not all, become citizens. People have been migrating to the geographic region of Canada for hundreds of years, patterns varying. After 1947 domestic immigration law went through many major changes, most notably with the Immigration Act, 1976, and the current Immigration and Refugee Protection Act from 2002.</p>

			<content:encoded><![CDATA[<p>The Mountain, or Appalachian Dulcimer first appeared in the United States in the early 1800&#8242;s in the southern Appalachian mountains. The Scots-Irish settlers were the ones to introduce it. It is in the Zither family, although it is not played by hammering the strings, as is the tradition with these other types of instruments. Rather, it is strummed like a guitar. It was commonly used as a parlor instrument, due to its limited volume and pleasing tone, and was common at many family gatherings.</p>
<p>There are several varieties of Dulcimer, although most have the same shape, made of the same materials, and have the same number of strings. Tuning varies though, depending on the tradition of music played, and whether the song is in Major or Minor keys. Traditionally, it is strung with anywhere from 2 to 12 strings (in courses/ groups of 2), and is usually played by placing the Dulcimer on ones lap, strumming and/or plucking the strings with one hand, and fretting with the other. The finer examples are made from wood, which produce the more desired tones, although various materials have been used, such as plastic and even cardboard.</p>
<p>The Appalachian dulcimer achieved a renaissance in the 1950s urban folk music revival in the United States. Musicians such as Jean Ritchie, a Kentucky musician who introduced the instrument to New York City audiences, have been credited for this. Then in the 1960s, the American folk musician Richard Fariña (1937–1966) became the first to utilize an Appalachian dulcimer in a less traditional way. He pointed out its similarity in tone to some Middle Eastern and Asian instruments, such as the Zither. There are many styles performed by modern dulcimer musicians, including traditional folk music and other popular and experimental forms, although most perform in more or less traditional dulcimer styles. More recently, musicians such as Lindsay Buckland, Bing Futch, Butch Ross and Quintin Stephens have contributed to the popularity of the solid-body electric dulcimer, which has gained popularity due to its more approachable and modern sound. Additionally, the amplification of these electric versions allow the musician to be heard with the rest of the band. Dulcimer festivals now take place regularly in the United States, Canada, the United Kingdom, and Ireland, as the Appalachian dulcimer has achieved a rather large following in a number of countries. The Dulcimer has also become a popular instrument for music teachers, due to relative ease in mastering the basics, as well as its relatively low cost to acquire.</p>

			<content:encoded><![CDATA[<p>Whiplash injuries and whiplash-associated disorders (WAD) are a range of injuries to the neck caused by or related to a sudden distortion of the neck. It is a very serious trauma because neck holds a lot of nerves and a part of the spinal cord. Usually the areas damaged by whiplash are neck, and the mid-back (middle of the spine). The symptoms can appear not only after this injury, but also often are not felt until days afterwards. In most of the cases a complete recovery fro whiplash can take up to three weeks, in some serious cases it will take a year or more and the most serious cases could result into chronic pain and injuries.</p>
<p>This type of trauma most commonly happens during motor vehicle accidents, if a vehicle is hit in the rear. One of the biggest problems is that the crash does not necessarily need to happen at high speed, if an impact was unexpected the whole accident can result into a whiplash injury.</p>
<p>It can also be sustained from falls from bicycles or horses, slips, falls, blows to the head from an assault, and injuries suffered through participation in sports activities, but the car accidents are the main cause. In many countries the whiplash injuries are the injuries covered by the car insurers. In Canada the research of this widespread issue has gained additional attention from public auto insures.</p>
<p>On April 15, 1995 Spine published a full report done by the Québec Task Force titled Redefining &#8220;Whiplash&#8221;. The Québec Task Force was a task force sponsored by the Société de l&#8217;assurance automobile du Québec, the public auto insurer in Quebec, Canada. The published report contained recommendations on prevention, diagnosis and treatment of WAD, and later it became base for Guideline on the Management of Claims Involving Whiplash-Associated, the main guide to classifying WAD and guidelines on managing the disorder. The report was later updated in January 2001.</p>
<p>The Grades classified by the Quebec Task Force on Whiplash-associated disorders (WADs) are following:</p>
<p>Grade 0: no neck pain, stiffness, or any physical signs are noticed</p>
<p>Grade 1: complaints of neck pain, stiffness or tenderness only but no physical signs are noted by the examining physician.</p>
<p>Grade 2: neck complaints and the examining physician finds decreased range of motion and point tenderness in the neck.</p>
<p>Grade 3: decreased range of motion plus neurological signs such as decreased deep tendon reflexes, weakness, insomnia and sensory deficits.</p>
<p>Grade 4: neck complaints and fracture or dislocation, or injury to the spinal cord.</p>
<p>A funny thing is that the second cause of whiplash related injuries is headbanging, an important element of metal culture. Headbanging is process when metal fans and musicians band their heads and shake their hair, you could see it in most of the metal videos. And everyone in this culture is heading towards the most extreme and fast headbanging, so whiplash injuries are a common thing. Still in this case there is no one to sue for the injuries.</p>
