Feelings of worth can flourish only in an atmosphere where individual differences are appreciated, mistakes are tolerated, communication is open, and rules are flexible - the kind of atmosphere that is found in a nurturing family.

This symbolic graveyard was an installation mounted by the kids of the Hummingbird F.C. in connection with our Social Communication Programme, Urban Outcries, which brought up the question of small firearms and their consequences on society.
Each cross and each gravestone represents an unreasonable reason for dying. Our kids are just too familiar with the consequences of small firearms in their own community, most of them having already lost a member of their own family.
To emphasize their point and adding to the dreadful statistics, on the very evening of the Urban Outcries programme; 5..., yes, five kids between the age of 14 and 18 were shot dead by the police only 3kms from us! 14-year old Thiago was the brother of one of our capoeira kids, the son of one of our mothers! Shot dead hiding under a bed whilst trying to escape the crazy police hunt for drug traffickers in the favela. Five more stupid reasons to add to our symbolic cemetery.
Below are just some of the phrases our kids left on the gravestones. You can read more unreasonable reasons for dying on the other images in this series:
(Posso ir, estou armado!)
I’m armed so I can go!
(Sempre a carrego comigo!)
I always carry it on me!
(Não quero nem saber, não é meu filho!)
I don’t want to know, he’s not my son!
(Agora eu tenho respeito!)
Now I have respect!

Satellite television is television programming delivered by the means of communications satellite and received by an outdoor antenna, usually a parabolic reflector generally referred to as a satellite dish, and as far as household usage is concerned, a satellite receiver either in the form of an external set-top box or a satellite tuner module built into a TV set. Satellite TV tuners are also available as a card or a USB peripheral to be attached to a personal computer. In many areas of the world satellite television provides a wide range of channels and services, often to areas that are not serviced by terrestrial or cable providers.
Direct-broadcast satellite television comes to the general public in two distinct flavors - analog and digital. This necessitates either having an analog satellite receiver or a digital satellite receiver. Analog satellite television is being replaced by digital satellite television and the latter is becoming available in a better quality known as high-definition television.
丐幫是最著名的武俠小說作家金庸所首創的虛構武林門派
幫會的份子雖然布衣乞討
但卻是臥虎藏龍 名滿天下
此款茶罐模擬丐幫份子在腰間所繫的水壺
譬喻低調行走世間的人們力量之所繫 輝煌之源泉
所使用的大地色調與厚紙板等天然材質
恰如其份地與丐幫的低調質樸形象接軌
但畫龍點睛的圓形章印花圖騰
卻暗示著丐幫份子不可小覷的真實力量

What is Prince Hall Masonry?
Special thanks go to W.Bro. A.J. Friesen, Hinton Lodge No. 178 and W.Bro. Stan Wheatly of Jubilee Lodge No. 173 for their answers. R. W.Bro. Bob Shaw, DDGM, District 10 continues with the history of Prince Hall Masonry in Alberta to meet a number of requests for more information. It should be noted that R. W.Bro. Shaw was originally a Prince Hall Mason who was required to repudiate his membership in that Craft to join Alberta Masonry.
Black Freemasonry flourished in the U.S. to the point where most of the 50 states have Prince Hall Grand Lodges, as well as in Liberia, Continental Europe, South America and Canada.
Black Masons came into Canada during the American Civil War days. They came primarily into the Province of Ontario. In that province the 18th Prince Hall Grand Lodge was formed, which has the legal title of "Grand Lodge of Ontario." It has 18 subordinate Lodges on its register. It is interesting to note that while our Grand Lodge is called the Grand Lodge of Alberta, the Regular Grand Lodge in Ontario is not called the Grand Lodge of Ontario. It is called the Grand Lodge of Canada in Ontario. This is because the Prince Hall Grand Lodge registered the name "Grand Lodge of Ontario" first.
Black farming families trekked into western Canada and settled in the four western provinces.These black people brought Prince Hall Masonry with them. In 1921 there were four Prince Hall Lodges operating in Alberta: Bow River Lodge No. 19 in Calgary; Pride of Alberta No. 20 in Edmonton; Stalwart No. 22 in Drumheller; Time and Patience No. 23 in Judkins.
Many black Masons who were members of these older Lodges have left an impression in Alberta history. Lionel Jones obtained the Charter for Pride of Alberta Lodge. His son, Jesse Jones, became a renowned teacher and athlete and was elected Secretary of his Lodge. Jesse's son, Lionel, is a distinguished judge. Jesse was made a citizen of Sports History by the City of Edmonton.
Some other prominent black Masons in Alberta were Joe "Kid" Cotton, a successful boxer and farmer; Dr. John Cobb; and Dr. Amos Walker. In Ontario, Lincoln Alexander, a prominent Conservative and a Lt. Governor of Ontario, is a 33rd Degree Prince Hall Mason.

During the depression years of 1937, 1938 and 1939, the four Prince Hall Lodges in Alberta surrendered their charters to their Grand Lodge due to the economic situation and the decline in their numbers.
In 1967, to celebrate the Canadian Centennial, some of the members of the original Lodges, requested the re-dedication of the charter for Pride of Alberta in Edmonton. The Grand Lodge approved the request and, with Regent Lodge No. 5 of Winnipeg acting as host, the Grand Lodge Officers initiated 25 new Masons and then re-dedicated the charter. The Lodge continues today and has now formed a second lodge in Edmonton and one in Calgary.
The Lodges operate in the York Rite.
They use the Daggett Ritual which is written in cipher.
The signs, grips, words and due-guards are the same as ours.
All other differences are very minor.
These three Alberta Lodges are under the jurisdiction of the Grand Lodge of Minnesota, but the earlier Lodges were under the jurisdiction of the Grand Lodge of Washington.
Some of you may say, "If they are regular and legitimate, why don't we recognize them?" It's not that easy. If the Grand Lodge of Alberta were to recognize the Minnesota Prince Hall Grand Lodge, what response would we get from the Grand Lodge of Minnesota? Would they continue to recognize us? Although there are changing conditions, we cannot be sure. Our current position is that Prince Hall Masons would have to sever all ties with Prince Hall Masonry and then take all three degrees in our Lodges.
Whatever your feeling toward black men who are Prince Hall Masons and their Craft, you cannot currently sit in Lodge with a Prince Hall Mason. Our Grand Lodge does not recognize that body of Masons. The traditional view held in Canada is that the situation is wrong but it is an American domestic problem. Fortunately, in Canada there is no Masonic colour barrier. To have one would be a violation of the spirit of Freemasonry and we have many black Masonic brethren in the Craft.
In spite of all the controversy over Prince Hall Masonry and the concern as to how to handle the situation, if you asked Bro. Shaw he would say that he was proud to have sat in Lodge with these brethren and to have called Prince Hall his brother.
Editors Note: The Grand Lodge of Quebec is presently in the preliminary stages of recognizing Prince Hall Masonry, and the Grand Lodge of Canada in Ontario is reviewing its relationship with Prince Hall Masonry. These Grand Lodges together with Nebraska, which has given full recognition, and Connecticut, which has given visiting privileges, are working to joining with Prince Hall rather than destroying this old order.

Tropospheric Scatter, also known as ''Troposcatter'' is a method of communicating with microwave radio signals over considerable distances, 310 miles and further depending on frequency of operation, equipment type, terrain, and climate factors. This method of propagation uses the tropospheric scatter phenomenon, where radio waves at UHF and SHF frequencies are randomly scattered as they pass through the upper layers of the troposphere. Radio signals are transmitted in a narrow beam aimed just above the horizon in the direction of the receiver station. As the signals pass through the troposphere, some of the energy is scattered back toward the Earth, allowing the receiver station to pick up the signal.
Normally, signals in the microwave frequency range travel in straight lines, and so are limited to line-of-sight applications, in which the receiver can be 'seen' by the transmitter. Communication distances are limited by the visual horizon to around 30 to 40 miles. Troposcatter allows microwave communication beyond the horizon. It was developed in the 1950's and used for military communications until communications satellites largely replaced it in the 1970's. Because the troposphere is turbulent and has a high proportion of moisture, the tropospheric scatter radio signals are refracted and consequently only a tiny proportion of the transmitted radio energy is collected by the receiving antennas. Frequencies of transmission around 2 GHz are best suited for tropospheric scatter systems as at this frequency the wavelength of the signal interacts well with the moist, turbulent areas of the troposphere, improving signal-to-noise ratios.

Two cans (poorly suited). One cord. One of the most well-known metaphors for communication. Or incommunication?
