Dear Community Member,
I am writing to invite you to Transition Guelph's upcoming Resilience festival 2015 and opportunities to get involved!
The Resilience Festival, spanning this year from March 20th-28th, celebrates
Transition Guelph's ongoing work to strengthen community resilience via
local initiatives. Our goal is to create a rich and vibrant community,
addressing global needs for sustainability by building local projects
such as community gardens, alternative energy production, inner
transition, re-skilling (learning traditional skills), storytelling, and
backyard sharing.
The
Resilience Festival is our biggest and most wildly successful event of
the year and is a chance for people to get acquainted or more familiar
with Transition Guelph. It includes the eMERGE Ecomarket, Seedy Saturday, film scr
eenings, a healthcare symposium, keynotes talks, a big and delicious Earth Hour potluck, and more. All information is here: http://www.
There
are plenty of opportunities to get involved. Volunteering is a chance
to meet new people, find groups of common interest, and contribute to
building a resilient community. This is a people-driven project,
presented by the community for the community.

After I listened to this conversation , I like the idea of the government shouldn't be telling parents what age appropriate for their children. For me, I believe parents should teach their children the main issues. e.x. religion, sex, tradition ... etc. That is because we live in a multi culture community and each culture has its own thoughts.
Global distribution of Thalassemia=Thal., sickle cell and its types : thal alpha, thal beta.

Thalassemia has found in people whose ethnic background are from the Mediterranean, Africa, the Middle East, Asian Subcontinent, Southern China and even Southeast Asia.In view of population migration,the distribution of the Thalassemia genes appears to be worldwide and to affect every ethnic group. It is common in these regions because it helps to protect carriers against malaria. The Red blood cell phenotype confers some protection against malaria. Thalassemia is a characteristic of the blood. It is inherited and passed on from parents to children, like hair color, eye color or skin color. It is passed equally by men and women. So if the parents carry that defect genes, 25% chance a child will inherit thalassemia from both parents.
Hemoglobin is the protein in the red blood cell that carries oxygen to every part of the body. Hemoglobin
is made up of different building blocks called the beta (β)-globin chains and the alpha (α)-globin chains. Therefor the shape of RBC in thalassemia will be diffrent and like sickle, not as usual, and that why Thalassemia has another term"sickle cell".
What is the diagnosis of thalassemia in Ontario and symptoms?
newborn screening:These are routine tests done shortly after birth on every baby born in Ontario. A small sample of blood is taken from your baby and is tested for rare treatable disease.The sickle cell or Thalassemia one of them. If the baby has positive thalassemia newborn screening result, it does not mean the baby has it but very likely has it. More testing is needed to confirm the diagnosis.
Symptoms include weakness, fatigue, feeling faint, shortness of breath, paleness, frequent infections, poor appetite,bone problems, and enlarged organs.

career networking
Through this video I got a common idea how to build networking, which may open a door for you to get a new job. There is a few tips in the following:
(1)Divide your relationship into tow parts: personal and professional
(2)Never ask for a job, just ask advice from others
(3)Elevator speech
(4)Brand card
(5)How to build your networking by linkin.
start a career in Canada
I am a newcomer in Canada. My major focuses on agriculture. I got my education and work experiences in China. I have nothing in Canada. But companies in Canada value work experiences. This is a bad circle. And also because I have little knowledge about agriculture policies in Canada, and have no idea how to find a job here. So it's so hard to start a career in Canada.
here, I am trying to talk about how to start a career in Canada, based on what I learn from "occupation workshop" in Lutherwood.
(1) Improve your resume
You can keep one standard resume, but never use this standard one for all job positions. One specific resume for one job position. Highlight your typical skills.
(2) Build career networking
More than 80% job opportunities are hidden, Only less than 20% are advertised. Companies usually fill job vacation by the order of inner promotion, recommend from current workers, networking, recruiter, job posting and resume.It's important to build career networking, then you can get more chances in hidden jobs.
(3)To be volunteer or internship
You can gain valued work experiences by volunteering or internship.
(4)Information interview
This is a common way in Canada. you can get some advice from experienced persons in your field by information interview, including work situations, what's valued in your career in Canada, and what you should do in next step...etc. Sometimes, you may get some hidden job opportunities during information interview.
