Book Description
Nestled in the heart of the Kootenay Mountains range of the Canadian Rockies lies the unique little village of Kaslo. Avoided by the First Nations as a cursed place the early European invaders paid no heed and settled in. How the aboriginals knew of the radioactive nature of the soil is still unknown to 'White Man' but this book isn't about that. It's about the quirkiness of quaint attitudes, perhaps caused by the altitude or just the high airs many of the residents feel entitled to. Still, it is one heck of a tourist destination, deserving of this glowing praised penned in light-hearted fondness.

Book Description
The citizens of Canada enjoy a high standard of living, well most of the 'proper' ones do. And for the majority they're granted social supports, political freedoms, and economic opportunities beyond the dreams of billions of earthlings. And yet despite an abundance of resources, both natural and human, our political systems suffer the same fault as all closed power systems, corruption and 'systematic' cruelty (another dodge of personal responsibility). Anyways, this Canadian poet got tired of it and wrote some verse for you to become 'awoke' eh!

Victoria has a secret. Salacious, lurid, exciting, these words can't describe the city enough because none of them apply! Sleepy, laid back, tree hugging, happy go lucky, well to do, exclusionary, and just a little bit facetious will get you a lot closer to the truth. And as islanders they like it like that. Come along on this poetic voyage as I take a look at some of the lesser known 'sights' and 'view'points to be found in one of Canada's oldest and oddest cities.

The Singer of the Kootenay
Author: Robert Edward Knowles
Publisher: New York, F. H. Revell
ISBN:
Category : Religious fiction, Canadian
Languages : en
Pages : 376
Book Description
"The response to the Deepwater Horizon spill continues to the present. As of July 15, 2010 - the day the well stopped flowing - the response involved approximately 44,000 responders; more than 6,870 vessels (including skimmers, tugs, barges, and recovery vessels); approximately 4.12 million feet of boom; 17,500 National Guard troops from Gulf Coast states; five states; multiple corporations; and untold hours of work by federal, state, and local officials; employees or contractors of BP; and private citizens.1 The spill response is governed by the National Contingency Plan (NCP), a set of federal regulations that prescribe how the government will respond to oil spills. In some respects, the response effectively implemented the provisions of the plan and helped to mitigate the most serious negative impacts of the spill. In other respects, the plan was inadequate to handle the scale of the spill - its magnitude, duration, and effects on many stakeholders. This working paper describes the structure of the spill response and the roles of various government and private actors within that structure. The paper identifies situations in which responders altered, or operated outside of, the National Contingency Plan structure and suggests possible recommendations for improvement of that structure in the future"--Page 1.
