A Part of a Whole is on display at the Taylor Institute of Teaching and Learning on the University of Calgary Campus.
This is a thesis prepared for my Master of Fine Arts degree, and it examines my relationship to abandoned industries, townsites and homesteads in Western Canada.
@politicalham@maxfawcett A good starting point may be Peter von Tiesenhausen, an artist who has copyrighted his property and artworks on it so no oil infrastructure can be visible …
@beamsvillemac @TomStDenis2 @maxfawcett Yes. Whale death is a big problem in Alberta.
You are possibly talking about pylon vibrations in sea-based wind farms. Valid point but off the mark.
Also… half these things are true of any mined mineral. Do you choose your car based on where the metal is mined? How about the rubber.
If this concerns you then show it with your personal choices, not some landowner who has every right to work their property…
… the land in question in High River is grazing land unsuitable for farming. They are leaving access to the wetland area and the creek that flows to it.
This lady is an idiot.
Duane you should take a drive near High River. Many reasons to oppose solar panels
- they don’t work well
- child labour mining of minerals
-deforestation for mines
- made in China
- hailstorms damage
- snow covers
- impacts wildlife and birds
- heats up the area around solar panels
Nothing good comes from solar panels. Even deserts are finding it has caused the eco system harm.
An Art Deco masterpiece in the Southmoreland neighborhood of Kansas City, built in 1929.
I don't think I've ever seen so much Art Deco jammed on one storefront before!
From horror show to triumph! This is the moment when pianist Maria Joao Pires realises - as the orchestra starts to play - that she has learned the wrong piece for a concert. With no sheet music to fall back on, she has to keep calm and carry on. She is AMAZING. As is conductor Riccardo Chailly, who shows he’s surely the cheerleader we all want in our corner. Belief and bravery in action! Mozart’s Piano Concerto in D minor, my Stop the Clock piece @ClassicFM today…
Silence from the uc_ on the upcoming drought conditions is a sign their largest urban following will realize how ineffective this government is when planning for emergencies it knows about in advance.

Parts pairing needs to end NOW.
It is not sufficient to simply require Apple to pair all parts, or to pair used parts. Even if it agrees to pair all parts in all cases, Apple still has centralized administrative control of all devices they have produced, and all devices still have a dependency on Apple “flipping a switch”.
The troubling nature of parts pairing goes even deeper — it is now inherent in the design of its products. If I were to swap the screens of current MacBooks, both would lose TrueTone, among other features, and resolution would require a connection to Apple (assuming they would choose to resolve it).
So not only is it necessary that we require Apple to pair all parts, but it is also necessary to require Apple to redesign all products so that a dependency on Apple is no longer necessary and that parts work correctly by default — the artificial flaws they impose (lack of True Tone, etc.) need to be removed, and the dependency on Apple must be erased from the design.
Keep in mind, you have property rights. Those rights make it legal to do what you want with the devices you own. It is not appropriate, nor legal, for a company like Apple to have administrative control over devices that aren’t theirs. The devices must be redesigned to remove that control. A hypothetically "victorious scenario" in which Apple states that it will “pair all devices when asked” does not constitute removal of that control.
Every new Apple device produced is effectively damaged, and an affront to our rights, because it has been designed with a dependency on Apple. Every passing day that parts pairing is in effect represents tens or hundreds of thousands of brand new damaged devices being manufactured and sold.
Parts pairing needs to end NOW.

@ABDanielleSmith@JustinTrudeau I asked the PM why he didn't meet with Premier Smith today.
His response: "Always happy to meet with any premier whenever they ask me to meet."
PM's staff said they gave Smith a day-ahead alert he'd be in AB (as they do with all preems) - and it's up to her to ask for a meeting.
