Talk:Geography of Ghana

Togo-Ghana border[edit]
I recently made an OMC map of Togo for the Geography of Togo article and noticed, while consulting other maps, including those already in the article, that there seems to be a disagreement over the alignment of the border between Togo and Ghana. The question is about the land inside an oxbow found at 9°38′N 0°18′E (see map).
OMC shows this as part of Togo, as do the relief map in the article and the CIA map in the main Togo article, but GoogleEarth says that it's part of Ghana, with the border cutting across the neck of that bit of territory. This is also what the satellite image shows. GoogleEarth also says that there is a village there called Butoe. Is it Ghanaian or Togolese?
Would anyone happen to know whether this represents an ongoing territorial dispute between Togo and Ghana, or perhaps a recent border change agreement? Or is it simply a mistake made by a mapmaker somewhere? I would appreciate any light that anyone could shed on this question, as I would like to adjust the OMC map accordingly. Also, if one of those political situations that I mentioned actually is the case, I think the Togo and Ghana articles should mention it.
Thanks.Kelisi 19:30, 25 July 2007 (UTC)
- I can't offer much help with this... though looking at few geoname databases, it would seem Butoe is associated with Ghana. The border in existing maps either seems to follow the river Oti or takes a short-cut - I'm not sure if there is any preference either way. I believe the border data GMT comes with is a rather old version of World Data Bank II (CIA Data Bank; WDB), and I know there a few errors here and there. I would assume that's the case also here... I used GMT to make the topographic maps, so I have very likely used the same border data than you. You could try asking people at Wikipedia:WikiProject Maps – I think some of those guys have access to commercial/newer (hopefully better) data and might know which version is correct. Cheers, – Sadalmelik 21:01, 25 July 2007 (UTC)
- After Ghana is more often read than Togo: I answered the question at Talk:Geography of Togo, the border takes the shortcut according to the Anglo-French demarcation of October 21, 1929. --Martin H. (talk) 15:16, 14 February 2009 (UTC)

text: I'm going on a trip down the GA coast later in the month and I was planning on going to Southern Soul BBQ. I heard about the fire they had, and I doubt they will have rebuilt by the time I'm down there. What are some good alternatives to Southern Soul BBQ in the Brunswick - St. Simons Island area that represent the style of BBQ from that part of GA? (I believe that includes Brunswick stew.)

This week's post: astrology in your daily life
Do you pay attention to the cycles of the sun and moon in your daily life, or are they relegated to horoscope reading and nothing more? If you do pay attention to lunar and solar cycles through the planets, how do you pay attention to them? What influences do you notice in your life?
This is something that I have struggled on and off again to notice in my life. While I work with the lunar and solar calendar in my workings and keep track of them in my daily life, I'm not always sure how much I notice of their effects in my life. Part of me thinks this is because I don't actually take the time to contemplate said effects, but I'll be honest... It's just not something I'm going to take on at this point in my life and my practice. A waxing moon in Libra might influence me, but I'm not in the space to sort through said patterns.
You know who does though and I totally admire her work in this area? Aine from the Deepest Well.
One day I'll get there... just not today!

One type of home business that you need to beware of are often called "Gifting Programs". While these programs vary significantly, they generally involve receiving tax receipts for your initial "gift" (or investment), and you can also earn money by referring others and helping them "give" money. These companies are (almost ?) always illegal.
A recent version in Canada involved a company which gave tax receipts for much larger amounts than the donations that were given.
You can read the story:
Whatever the case, beware of these "opportunities" that makes "giving" sound like it can make you a profit.

text: I had the new Chevy SS rom installed on my phone but didnt like it as much as the JRummy one. So I reflashed the JRummy rom and installed it. I wanted to reinstall the chevy ulv 1.2ghz kernel on my phone. I usally used rom manager and would just use the option "install ROM from sd card." this has worked everytime since I rooted. But now when I choose to reboot into recovery and continue the installation it just shows the motorola logo and nothing happens until I do a battery pull then the phone starts up normal. I have tried flashing the clockworld mod recovery again and uninstalling and reinstalling rom manager. (I use premium) Can anyone help?

My Nonprofit Reviews
Carol Kestler
Review for Aleph-Alliance for Jewish Renewal, Philadelphia, PA, USA
I have been involved with ALEPH since its very beginnings, and have been continuously impressed with its ability to reach out to all sorts of people seeking more knowledge about Judaism in a modern, multi-cultural world.
Again and again, I have made connections for myself and my family that have extended our participation in a Judaism that is expansive and inclusive in every way. I know that our Jewish family which embraces both modern Orthodox and Catholic members would not be the group we are, celebrating each others' commitment and spirituality, without the ALEPH publications, events and people.
The collection and putting together of Rabbi Zalman Schachter-Shalomi's work is an incredably importsnt preservation of materials that were mostly lost in the Holocaust. The combining of Reb Zalman's work with that of young scholars of very varying Jewish backgrounds has provided us with an incomparable legacy to carry us into the future.
More Feedback
I've personally experienced the results of this organization in...
I have turned to ALEPH in personal and family crises, and always received solid support. The various Kallot have played a very important part in my life, keeping me connected with other Jewish and non-Jewish seekers throughout the world.
If I had to make changes to this organization, I would...
Make sure there was sufficient financil support to guarantee that ALEH can continue and expend all its work!

Biostimulation - Related Links
Biostimulation involves the modification of the environment to stimulate existing bacteria capable of bioremediation. This can be done by addition of various forms of rate limiting nutrients and electron acceptors, such as phosphorus, nitrogen, oxygen, or carbon (e.g. in the form of molasses). Additives are usually added to the subsurface through injection wells, although injection well technology for biostimulation purposes is still emerging. Removal of the contaminated material is also an option, albeit an expensive one. Biostimulation can be enhanced by bioaugmentation. This process, overall, is referred to as bioremediation and is an EPA-approved method for reversing the presence of oil or gas spills.
The primary advantage of biostimulation is that bioremediation will be undertaken by already present native microorganisms that are well-suited to the subsurface environment, and are well distributed spatially within the subsurface. The primary disadvantage is that the delivery of additives in a manner that allows the additives to be readily available to subsurface microorganisms is based on the local geology of the subsurface. Tight, impermeable subsurface lithology (tight clays or other fine-grained material) make it difficult to spread additives throughout the affected area. Fractures in the subsurface create preferential pathways in the subsurface which additives preferentially follow, preventing even distribution of additives.
Recently a number of products have been introduced which allow popular use of bioremediation using biostimulative methods. They may harness local bacteria using biostimulation by creating a hospitable environment for hydrocarbon-devouring microorganisms, or they may introduce foreign bacteria into the environment as a direct application to the hydrocarbon. While the jury is out as to whether either is particularly more effective than the other, prima facie consideration suggests the introduction of foreign bacteria to any environment stands a chance of mutating organisms already present and affecting the biome.
Investigations to determine subsurface characteristics (such as natural groundwater velocity during ambient conditions, hydraulic conductivity of the subsurface, and lithology of the subsurface) are important in developing a successful biostimulation system. In addition, a pilot-scale study of the potential biostimulation system should be undertaken prior to full-scale design and implementation.
However, some biostimulative agents may be used in chaotic surfaces such as open water and sand so long as they are [oleophilic], meaning that they bond exclusively to hydrocarbons, and basically sink in the water column, bonding to oil, where they then float to the water's surface, exposing the hydrocarbon to more abundant sunlight and oxygen where greater micro-organic aerobic activity can be encouraged. Some consumer-targeted biostimulants bond possess this quality, others do not.

A certified school librarian, I love working with kids and teens. I am available for presentations, writing workshops, and book groups at schools, libraries, and homeschool groups. If you are interested, please contact me directly: megan @ meganfrazer.com.
Want a sneak peek at what Megan will talk about? Watch this video created by Locomotion Multimedia:
What If from Sharyn Alice Murray on Vimeo.
Presentations/Workshops for Students:
Writing Workshops & Presentations:
- What do Writers Do: The Power of What If?
- Grades 2-8, 45 minutes plus time for questions.
- After asking students what they think writers do, Megan will explain how the key thing writers do is to ask the question, "What if?" Using examples from her own work, as well as other novels, she explains how asking "What if?" questions opens up the world of the story. Students are invited to respond to prompts with their own "What if?" ideas.
- Student responses:
- "For some reason, I want to go home and write a book today." – 5th grader in New York
- "I never liked writing, but you make it sound like fun. I'm going to try again." – 5th grader in Vermont
- Building a Story: Workshop or Group Presentation
- Grades K-8, 45minute presentation, 30-60 minute workshop depending on age of students.
- If an idea starts with "What if?", where does it go from there? This workshop focuses on character as a way of building story. In large groups, students will participate and act out a group-generated story. In workshop, students will brainstorm story plots and begin writing their own stories.
- Writing is Revising:
- Grades 3-12, 60 minutes
- A presentation on revision of a published novel, followed by a workshop that teaches key revision techniques for fiction.
- For this workshop, students should have a piece of fiction they would like to revise.
- This workshop can be can be combined with a general writing workshop or "The Story in the History" to take students through the whole process of writing and revising a piece.
- Book Groups
- Discussion, Grades 3 through Adult
- Has your class or book group read one of Megan's books? She would love to be a part of the discussion!
- As themes of family are strong in all of my novels, you might consider a parent-child book group.
- Note: As her schedule permits, Megan will do free 20 minute Skype sessions with book groups who have read the book. (See below.)
- Rates:
- Daily rate: $900 plus travel expenses.
For Librarians and Educators:
- Authentic Student Writing via the Writing Workshop
- Presentation, 1 hour
- Megan credits her success as a writer to her K-12 education with a writing-rich curriculum. She will share how specific models were used in her hometown school district, and how she continues to use the lessons she learned then in her professional writing career.
- Maker Education: What is It and How Can you Incorporate it into Your Practice?
- Full day workshop
- As a school librarian, Megan has integrated making into her curriculum. She will share how she worked to draw out STEAM skills while focusing on the Four C's: collaboration, critical thinking, creativity, and communication.
- Participants will have a chance to do their own making and plan how they use maker education principles in the classroom.
- Megan can be booked to return to the classroom with teachers to demonstrate one of her lessons.
- Please see Megan's list of Books for Making and Make Literacy Lessons for a taste of what she does in her own practice.
I also do Skype Visits!
- As her schedule permits, I will do free twenty minute Q&A Skype sessions for book groups or classes who have read one of her books.
- Please contact me directly to make arrangements: megan @ meganfrazer.com

It is Maria Giovanna Ruggeri, president of Wucwo (World Union of Catholic Women's Organisations), that told SIR about the event that took to Bari an international all-women meeting. The venue is Hotel Park Elizabeth at Mariotto, and the sponsors are Wucwo and Ifca (International Forum of Catholic Action), in partnership with Catholic Action of the diocese of Bari and the Regional Delegation of Apulia. Ruggeri explains: "There has always been a focus on Middle Eastern countries, especially on women from such areas, since I started working at Wucwo". What will the event involve? "First and foremost, supporting these populations, especially the women who every day have to work hard for reconciliation and cohabitation. For us, support – the president explains – means accepting, listening, sharing, sympathising". Secondly, "direct experience of reality through these women, who are the witnesses of the challenges that run through the Middle East and the Mediterranean and that involve Europe and the whole world".

I think more and more college students have been waking up to this reality in the past five years since Virginia tech and they dont want it.
and yet, they not once, but TWICE overwhelmingly voted for that POS 0bama.
Over-educated damn fools! ;)
I've been wondering how a truther can be supportive of gun control. How can they believe the Fed gov would stage a terrorist attack killing over 3,000 people but don't think they would herd us into ovens if they could do it unopposed?
I went to school in Western MA. During the 08 election, when it was called for Obama a small group formed on the campus green chanting "Obama, Obama" and "we finally elected a N*&^%r!"
They had 200-300 feral students, compared to something like 2,800 that lived on campus. Don't forget the libs on campus are feral, loud and obnoxious. Libertarians and conservatives tend to stay below the radar often.

Speed Meets Strength - ThruLok Screw Bolt by FastenMaster
FastenMaster, a leading manufacturer of quality fasteners, introduces a new and innovative through-bolt system. This is one of the most exciting products to be introduced in 2010!
Three ThruLok's replace two 1/2 inch through-bolts, the real savings come in the installation time. With the ThruLok, pre-drilling is now a thing of the past. Simply place the ThruLok-Washer on the ThruLok screw with the teeth of the washer facing away from the head of the fastener. No pre-drilling required when properly installed. Using a 1/2" high torque variable speed drill, drive the ThruLok until washer and hex head are just above the wood surface (approx 1/4") and point of screw protrudes out other side of connection. Thread the ThruLok-Nut onto point of fastener. Hand tighten nut until flush with wood. Tighten screw with drill. Repeat to match code-compliant fastening pattern.
The ThruLok is available in three sizes: 6-1/4 inches, 7 inches, and 8 inches as well as 6 packs and 24 packs. DecksDirect currently offers free Shipping on FastenMaster Products when ordering more than $50 of FastenMaster Brand Products.

I recently acquired a scrimshawed whale tooth, knowing full-well that it was NOT an antique, despite the scribed date of 1859. I made my original assessment based solely on "tells" visible in the seller-provided photographs, which are included with this article. Once in hand, loupe-inspection confirmed my suspicions.
But first, here are the historic references I found about Capt. John M. Soule and the whaleship Splendid depicted in the scrimshaw:
Bridgewater, MA Vital Records (Marriages):
John M. (Soule) of Halifax and Aaroline P. Pratt, June 23, 1842
1840 United States Federal Census: John M Soule New Milford, Litchfield, Connecticut
Books, Pamphlets, Log Books, Pictures, etc. Illustrating Whales and the Whale Fishery Contained in the Free Public Library New Bedford, MA (Page 13):
"Adeline," ship,
(cruise:) 1865-69,
(Captain:) John M. Soule,
(owner:) C. R. Tucker & Co." (of New Bedford)
Foreign Ships in Micronesia, Marshall Islands:
1860: "Whaleship WILLIAM C. NYE of NB, Capt John M. Soule, lay off Namorik on Mar 16. 'Canoes came alongside with a few coconuts'."
Foreign Ships in Micronesia, Port Pohnpei:
1867: "Whaleship ADELINE of NB, Capt John M. Soule, visited the Pohnpei area. Feb 10: Stood off Pingelap. A boat came off the island. Feb 11: Stood off at Mokil. Ship bought a few hogs & other things. Feb 12: Anchored at Pohnpei in Hadley's Harbor." Took on wood & water before leaving Pohnpei on Mar 1."
1868: "Whaleship ADELINE of NB, Capt John M. Soule, again put in at Pohnpei on Jan 31 after lying off Mokil far part of a day. Four men deserted, two of them captured shortly afterwards. The chief would not surrender the other two deserters. Left Pohnpei on Feb 19."
The ship Splendid was a whaler out of Sag Harbor, then New Bedford, and eventually New Zealand. The Splendid can be found in the following internet references:
• "Whaleship Splendid in Honolulu HI, March 22, 1845″
• "In 1848, the Cold Spring Harbor whaleship Splendid, left on a whaling voyage to the Pacific Ocean. Her crew traveled thousands of miles and returned to Long Island 29 months later."
• ". . . whaler Splendid arrived at the Heads (New Zealand) on Saturday, 23rd (1878) ult., after a three months' cruise Off the Chatham Islands. . ."
• Sunday Island, Kermadec Group of Islands.
Here are the tells which I used to determine that this authentic whale tooth was scribed within the last 50-years, or so:
1. The vast majority of authentic antique scrimshawed whale teeth have the skirt trimmed-off, which allows the tooth to self-display (stand alone), and more importantly, prevents the naturally thin skirt from splitting due to dry-out cracks. The Soule tooth has not been trimmed.
2. Authentic antique scrimshawed whale teeth were smoothed with a series of shark skins, and were usually quite smooth, but not highly polished. Modern scrimshanders use power tools and/or a series of sandpapers, from 60-grit to 1500-grit. The Soule tooth is highly polished.
3. Only 5 percent of authentic scrimshawed whale teeth have scribed text; and only 2 percent are dated. Of my 33 authentic antique scrimshawed whale teeth, only one has text (name of a ship). Forgers nearly always scribed text and dates onto whale teeth to increase their value.
4. 150-years ago (1859) an authentic whaler/scrimshander would know that the name of the largest whaling port in the U.S. is New Bedford, NOT Bedford (see above).
5. Loupe inspection of the scribed text reveals chipping in the straight lines, similar to the ragged pattern visible when a pane of glass is scored prior to sizing. 150-years ago, a whaler would have used a fresh whale tooth, which is fairly soft, allowing easy scribing with a jack knife and sail needle. The cut and scribe lines in a soft tooth are smooth and sharp-edged. As a tooth ages, the surface becomes brittle. The cut & scribe lines in an old tooth are jagged. The inscribed title "Good Old Soule" has ragged edges.
6. Finally, artistic talent among whalers was rare, so most authentic antique scrimshaw portraits are fairly crude, or were trace-copied from printed images. In contrast, modern day scrimshanders are all artists. The Soule tooth scrimwork is original, most likely rendered by a modern artist.
If this 6-inch & 9.9-ounce scrimshawed whale tooth was an authentic antique, it would be worth a few thousand dollars. As a modern scrimshaw, it is only worth a few hundred dollars.

Very nice
What screenlock is that?
Guarded against thieves, losers, and iPhone users alike.
Dont worry about fruitphone users, between the shock of a phone that actually makes calls and trying to avoid death grip, you could call cops and order pizza before they ran off.

met her on a nice warm summer day, her and me together everysingle day, I love her as much as you can see, my only fear is someday she'll leave me, and I would care but play it off real well, and I would try not to let it show, My life is weird and theres nothing more to say, her and me together everysingle day, somedays fit while others slow decay, she's for me the perfect never stray! Her eyes I love, as pretty as can be, and she I need just to keep me going, and she does love me, and it's the same as her, and I know she does, cuz I love her.

Manchester City manager Roberto Mancini has reportedly agreed to a new deal worth at least 25 million pounds that will keep the him at Eastlands for another five years, the club has confirmed.
"Manchester City Football Club today are pleased to announce that a new contract has been agreed with manager Roberto Mancini," Sport24 quoted the club, as saying, in a statement.
"The deal, which runs until the summer of 2017, follows the club's most successful season in more than four decades, which concluded in the most dramatic of circumstances in the team's thrilling 3-2 win over Queens Park Rangers in May this year," the club added.
The new figure is believed to take Mancini past Manchester United's Sir Alex Ferguson in the Premier League managers' wage table. (ANI)

I have the best job ever! I am the Senior Vice President of Finance at Shaw Communications Inc. In early 1998, I was asked to consider starting the internal Tax Group at Shaw. I started at this exciting company in July 1998 and have not looked back! I am so busy but loving every minute. Highlights of my career include obtaining my BComm in 1987, my CA designation in 1989 and completing the CICA In-depth Tax Course in 1993.
When not in the office, I spend my time with my l husband (of 27 happy years!) and my three children Mitchell, Dylan and Courtney, whom I am extremely proud of. I am committed to spending some of my time with Kids Care Cancer making a difference in a cause I believe in. I especially love the kids and the future they represent.
I love to travel and most of my bucket list is made up of destinations I cannot wait to explore.
Fun Facts!
1) What's your favorite city?
Rome, Italy.
2) Best read?
Anything by Dan Brown.
3) Dogs or cats?

Information coming soon.
Trudy Curran
I believe in giving back to society and what better organization to do that than Kids Cancer Care. I want to help families facing this disease and assist in finding a cure for cancer. Kids Cancer Care offers a very effective, cost efficient way for me to do that for our society's betterment.
I have the most amazing job, as I work with a highly motivated team of professionals, am on public boards in the energy and mining industry and was the Sr. VP, General Counsel and Corporate Secretary at Canadian Oil Sands.
I am a simple farm girl that learned to work hard and try hard from an early age. My life has been an incredible journey where I have been so fortunate to meet interesting and talented individuals who in turn, have inspired me to reach higher academically, professionally and socially. Having two wonderful kids, I know the importance of family, fun and kids being kids. I love the outdoors and hike, run, bike, showshoe, cross-country ski and skate. My passion is travelling to new places and meeting new people.
Fun Facts!
1) What's something quirky about yourself?
I am a complete mistake. My brother is 20 years older and my two sisters are 16 and 10 years older respectively. For a mistake though, guess I am not that bad!
2) Dogs or cats?
Love both, but only dogs in my house. Cats are for the farm and catching mice and I don't need any mice in my house!
3) What's something on your bucket list?
So many places yet to see: Russia, Croatia, Africa, Everest, Bhutan.
Fred Desjarlais
For most of my adult life I have happily given an enormous amount of time and energy to committees and boards connected with my industry and contributions to community causes with cheques. I've been motivated and inspired to flip these priorities around because of two impacts in my life 1) the battle of a serious cancer illness by a very dear friend of mine and 2) the chance opportunity of my involvement with Christine McIver and Kids Cancer Care.
Experiencing children and their families that find the "cancer monster" blocking their lives path, gives clarity and purpose to where I need to dedicate energy and influence. I find my role here to be an honour that I take on full heartedly.
Raised a farm kid in central Alberta, chores, sports and school were the priorities, usually in that order. I stepped out on my own at an early age, and it wasn't until I learned of impending parenthood that I embraced advancing my education. I am proud to be part of growing an incredible business in Alberta that has gained the reputation of excellence from our clients. I love Calgary, but I also love to travel where I search out fun sporting events. My wife and I are blessed with a wonderful life that includes four children, four furry kids and many dear friends.
I spent the first 12 years of my career working with Alberta Transportation building and maintaining Alberta's vast road network. During my tenure, I was part of the team that developed the program to outsource all of the Province's highway maintenance. It forever changed the industry, and in 1998 I received the Premier's Award of Excellence for my efforts.
I am Vice President for Volker Stevin Canada, a highly recognized and reputable heavy civil construction and contracting company. I work from our Canadian headquarters based in Calgary, where we build and operate the incredible infrastructure system that brings all of the necessities of life that we need and enjoy – water, roads, airports, utilities.
Fun Facts!
1) What's something on your bucket list?
Spend a summer retracing the countryside and villages where my grandfather grew from a boy into a man during WWII…Italy, France, Belgium and Holland.
2) What's something quirky about yourself?
I can't sit still while I talk on the phone. I have likely walked across the country within the confines of my office while talking on the telephone.
3) Dogs or cats?
We have two cats and two dogs so someone in our family will be upset with either response…but I secretly prefer my long weekend walks with our Airedale Terriers…sorry Digger the cat.
Iggy Domagalski
I spend most of my days leading Tundra Process Solutions in a quest to change the way business is done in the energy industry and to make our energy industry more efficient on a world scale. My main job is to find amazing people who align with our vision and culture and help them to be the best leaders they can be.
Part of that culture is giving back to the community that has supported us for so many years, which is part of the reason I'm so passionate about helping the Kids Cancer Care. I initially began my involvement with KCC because of its stellar reputation, local presence and child and family focus. Over the years I have been pleasantly surprised over and over about how impressive the organization truly is. From the events to the people to the research, everything is first class. I have been proud to be involved with KCC for five years in a number of fundraising roles and was honoured to be asked to join the board.
Outside of work and community involvement my passions are music, family, running, reading and wine, and I'm lucky that I get a fair amount of all of them in my life.
Fun Facts!
1) What's something quirky about yourself?
I love to play guitar and sing, but unfortunately don't have enough skill to make a living at it. My kids don't seem to mind, and every time I pick up the guitar they yell out their request for their favourite song, which is "Wild Thing."
2) What's your favorite ice cream topping?
Variety is the spice of life, but when it comes to ice cream it's plain ol' vanilla for me. And maybe some chocolate sauce.
3) What's something on your bucket list?
The list is long and includes writing music, producing a movie, and traveling around the world. But the item I hope to cross off next is running a full marathon.
Bryan Duguid
For a year or so, work commitments caused me to reduce the time that I normally devote to charitable goals. In a way, that was good, because it made clear that dedication to a worthwhile charitable cause is more of a "must have" than a "nice to have."
In deciding what next, I quickly gravitated to children/youth causes, because of the critical nature of that point in one's life. From there, I felt the pull toward helping kids with cancer.
Although I am happy to report that my wife and I have two teenaged daughters that have not been afflicted with cancer, over the years, I have had the privilege of meeting many brave children and their families who have not been so lucky. In the course of that, I have come to learn what a difference can be made for both the child and the family, through research, care, and the simple chance to be a worry-free kid (even if just for a short window of time).
So, it was a no-brainer to seek to join the Kids Cancer Care Foundation of Alberta.
I hope that I will be able to help with Kids Cancer Care's mission. Besides my legal and business skills, I served for eight years on the Advisory Board for the Children's Wish Foundation, Alberta and NWT Chapter, including the last few years as Vice-Chair. I raised funds and awareness for kids' cancer by cycling across Canada in 2009. I have participated in the Alberta Tour for Kids for many years. In fact, that was my first introduction to KCC. And, as Tour for Kids participants, we stay at Camp Kindle. What a facility that has become.
Fun Facts!
1) What's something quirky about yourself?
As a teen, I worked at Dairy Queen in Regina.
2) What's your favorite flavour of ice cream?
Ice cream? Had enough of that. Gelato. Pistachio.
3) What's something on your bucket list?
Seeing the rest of the world, one trip at a time.
Darrell Graham
I've had the honor of sitting on the Kids Cancer Care Board of Directors for the past four years. However, my association with the foundation started several years previously when our corporate hosting event (Rogers Chomp and Stomp) began to raise funds for Kids Cancer Care.
My commitment to the foundation has only grown, as I've gained a deeper and broader appreciation for the difference our programs make in the lives of children and families impacted by childhood cancer.
Over the past three years, I have had the pleasure of chairing one of our signature events - The Dad & Daughter Gala. We have enjoyed tremendous success and have grown the event exponentially since its inception. I'm proud of my association and our team's accomplishments in becoming one of the premier fund raising events in Calgary. My daughter counts down the days to the Dad & Daughter Gala; she hasn't missed one yet and has no plans to miss one in the future!
While my passion rests with Kids Cancer Care, my day job as the Vice President of Regional Distribution Sales for Rogers Communications has me travelling across the country on a regular basis. My responsibilities include all sales performance and customer service delivery in 1500+ retail locations across the country.
With two very active children (Katelyn, 10 and Carson, 7), my wife Lynne and I are busy with hockey, dance, lacrosse, swimming and everything in between. We recently finished building our dream vacation home near Fernie and look forward to recharging our batteries on the ski slopes during the winter and on the lake throughout the summer.

1) What's your favorite ice cream topping?

Prior to joining the board, I have had the pleasure of working with the Kids Cancer Care team through my work as VP Marketing of Trico Homes. Trico's 18-year partnership with Kids Cancer Care has been a natural fit because our organizations have so many parallels. Trico's core values of Trust, Respect, Integrity, Community and Opportunity align closely with those of Kids Cancer Care.
Working for Trico Homes has greatly enriched my life in so many ways. I have the privilege of working with a visionary leader and passionate and talented team of people who create homes that we are proud to attach the Trico name to. In addition to marketing, I am responsible for Trico's community investment initiatives. Through my community work, I have the opportunity to work with so many amazing people who make our city a better place for all Calgarians. It's easy to tell compelling stories and communicate the benefits of an organization when you truly believe in the value it creates.
I couldn't imagine a career in anything else besides marketing. Throughout my 20-year marketing career as both a business owner and employee, I have had the opportunity to create marketing solutions for a diverse group of for-profit and not-for-profit organizations. I value all of these experiences because they have allowed me to see inside these organizations from all perspectives, get to know their brands and assist in moving their businesses forward.
When I am not at work I enjoy hanging out with my husband, two amazing daughters and our dog Jack. Family time is our top priority and we especially treasure the great memories we've created at our summer place on the Shuswap Lake in British Columbia. Even though my daughters are now adults, we all still spend our summer vacations together as a family "at the lake".
I am proud to participate as a board member for an organization like Kids Cancer Care who makes such an important contribution to supporting families with children facing childhood cancers.
Fun Facts!
1) Hometown:
Calgary Alberta. Yes I am proud to be a born and bred Calgarian!
2) Favourite Movie:
The Sound of Music. I can watch it over and over.
3) Spirit Animal:

Some people know they are the luckiest people in the world – I am one of them. Cancer changed our lives when my daughter Taylor was diagnosed with Leukemia at the age of five. Our world was turned upside-down as Taylor fought through her cancer, but during that tough time we found an oasis - we were introduced to Kids Cancer Care.
Since 1995, when Taylor first went to camp, myself and my family have been passionate and committed volunteers of Kids Cancer Care. I chaired the Parents' Quest for the Cure gala for a number of years, cycle in the annual Tour for Kids Alberta and cycled across Canada with my daughter Taylor in support of pediatric cancer organizations such as Kids Cancer Care. I am privileged to participate in shaping the future of Kids Cancer Care with my participation on the Board of Directors.
I am the person in business meetings who introduces himself as "the IT guy." For the past number of years, I have been working in the Alberta healthcare sector focused on developing the patient electronic health record.
I have been married to Linnea for over 30 years, my daughter Tay is now an oncology nurse at the Alberta Children's Hospital (go figure) and Tom Baker Cancer Center and my special needs son Cody lights smiles on people's faces wherever he goes. When not working, cycling and camping occupy our time.

3) What's something on your bucket list?
Cycle across Canada again so families never have to hear "your child has cancer"

My daughter Celia was diagnosed with a rare brain tumour at the age of five in July, 2013. I'd attended Kids Cancer Care events in the past, but really never understood what families face when they are confronted with childhood cancer. Celia had 100 nights at the Alberta Children's Hospital, receiving five rounds of intense chemo and stem cell transplants and 30 rounds of Proton radiation in Houston.
Today she is happy, healthy and thriving. As parents, this was a difficult journey and one I don't think you ever fully heal from, however, KCC was a very important group in our journey. Celia and I had the opportunity to speak at the 2014 Dad & Daughter Gala and that was one of the most special nights in my life.
I've enjoyed a long career at TD Canada Trust, having worked there for 18 years. Currently, I'm a Branch Leader, but I've worked in various roles and across Western Canada.
I have a wonderful family; a beautiful wife and three fantastic children. We love spending time outdoors and going to our cabin in BC.

PARIS (Reuters) - France should copy Germany's labour model to help its struggling companies regain a competitive edge, notably with more flexibility to cut wage costs during a slump, French Industry Ministry Arnaud Montebourg said on Wednesday.
With firms from carmaker PSA Peugeot (PEUP.PA) to retailer Carrefour (CARR.PA) planning mass layoffs, Montebourg is under pressure to back reforms that will slow the pace of job losses and strengthen businesses against shocks.
Montebourg said France should expand a scheme that lets firms cut worker hours in a downturn, with benefits making up the gap in their salary - a system that is widely credited with limiting job losses in Germany during a 2008-9 economic crisis.
"When your revenue drops by 80 percent, the typical French reaction has been to kick everyone out the door, losing industrial know-how, skills, and devastating regions," he told journalists in a briefing on the automobile sector.
"I am in favor of widening, of easing access to partial work rather than shutting factories - which is the German strategy that worked so well for them in the crisis."
Continuing talks between unions and employers on labour reform include the question of whether to broaden use of the partial unemployment scheme. The government has called on all parties to produce a deal by end-2012.
Moving toward Germany's so-called "Kurzarbeit", or "short work" system, would respond to French executives' complaints that when orders dry up, their only option is to lay off workers, a lengthy and costly process fraught with legal risks.
Currently, French firms can resort to so-called "partial unemployment" but financing is tiny, at under one billion euros ($1.30 billion), compared to the 6 billion Germany used for Kurzarbeit. In France the duration is limited to 12 months and applying for it is a lengthy process.
Among the strongest advocate for reform is struggling carmaker PSA Peugeot, which plans to close its Aulnay assembly plant and cut 8,000 jobs. Unions and management at its Sevelnord factory in northern France have struck a deal that grants Peugeot more flexibility on work hours.
Labour reform is one facet of a vast economic challenge facing President Francois Hollande, who must address joblessness above 10 percent while reducing the public deficit to 3 percent of economic output by 2013 to meet European targets.
Piling pressure on the Socialist leader, German Chancellor Angela Merkel and Europe's central bank chief earlier urged euro zone states to reform to improve competitiveness.
France's moderate unions favor changing the labour code, and can strike a deal with employers without support from hardline groups. Tougher unions may still call protests to pressure the government to block or water down a reform.
