The National Field of Honour is a military cemetery for Canadian and Allied Veterans and their loved ones. It is located in Pointe-Claire, Quebec, Canada.[1] It is operated by the Last Post Fund.
On June 8, 2007, the National Field of Honour was designated a National Historic Site of Canada.[2]

The National Field of Honour was founded and is maintained by the Last Post Fund, a charitable organization founded by Arthur Hair in 1909.[3]
The Last Post Fund's mission is to ensure that no Veteran is denied a dignified funeral and burial, as well as a military gravestone, due to insufficient funds at time of death. Its primary mandate is to deliver the Veterans Affairs Canada Funeral and Burial Program which provides funeral, burial and grave marking benefits for eligible Canadian and Allied Veterans. In addition to delivering the Funeral and Burial Program, the Last Post Fund supports other initiatives designed to honour the memory of Canadian and Allied Veterans.
The National Field of Honour was consecrated on September 21, 1930. As of 2010, more than 22,000 burials and interments have been made here. The National Field of Honour is distinct among Canadian military cemeteries in that all the headstones are laid flush with the ground. All Veterans whether they were Generals or Privates lie beside each other as equals.[4] There are among them 16 war graves of World War II which are registered by the Commonwealth War Graves Commission.[5]
The National Field of Honour is opened to visitors from Monday to Friday, 8am to 4pm, but anyone can come and stroll the grounds over the weekend.[6] As you stroll through the National Field of Honour, you will notice that each street is named to honour distinguished Canadian Veterans. There are also three commemorative circles which have been built to honour different war heroes. A new Columbarium has been added to the cemetery and Veterans' ashes can be placed into the Columbarium walls. A water garden has also been recently donated and in the summer you can sit beside the pond and examine beautiful flowers. There are benches all around the Field for visitors to relax and enjoy the landscape of history.
The Gate of Remembrance[edit]
The entrance to the National Field of Honour is through the Gate of Remembrance, a medieval arch flanked by twin towers.[7] The south tower houses an ecumenical chapel. The Gate was built in 1937 at a cost of $11,850, $5000 of which was donated by the city of Pointe-Claire, taking 13 weeks to complete.[8] The Gate of Remembrance serves as a memorial to all those who made the supreme sacrifice for their country. It has served a number a purposes through the years once as the home of the groundskeep and for a time housed the Last Post Fund archives. The chapel was added in 1973, with funds given by former LPF director Bruce Brown. The architect of the Gate of Remembrance is Harold J. Doran and was built by Francis King. Harold J. Doran is often recognized as the architect of Benny Farm in NDG, built in 1946-7, a social housing project for World War II veterans.[9]
Currie Circle[edit]
Currie Circle is dedicated to the memory of Sir Arthur Currie. Standing in the midst is the Cross of Remembrance. Sir Arthur commanded the Canadian Corps in World War I, and went on to serve as the principal and vice-chancellor of McGill University as well as president of the Last Post Fund from 1924 to 1932. He died in 1933 and is buried at Mount Royal Cemetery. On June 30, 1947 Last Post Fund Founder Arthur Hair was the first to be interred in the grounds surrounding the cross, which are reserved for the burial of Last Post Fund officials. This Plot is known as the Directors' Circle.
Arthur Hair Reception Center[edit]
This building is named after the founder of the Last Post Fund. It is now a reception and interpretive center where visitors can learn more about the Field and what the Veterans here have accomplished for their country. Names of all the soldiers are also kept here if you wish to find a relative.
The Flagstaff[edit]
An impressive 22-metre (73) foot metal flagstaff was a gift from a Canadian Steamship Line. It was erected by the Dominion Bridge Company in 1930.
The Commonwealth War Graves Memorial (The Quebec Memorial)[edit]
The Commonwealth War Graves Commission was established in England by Royal Charter in 1917, eight years after the inception of the Last Post Fund. Formed by Major General Sir Fabian Ware, it marks and maintains the graves of Commonwealth service personnel who were killed in action or died of other causes in the two World Wars, and builds memorials to those who have no known grave and keeps records and registers, including a record of the Civilian War Dead. These two like-minded organizations collaborated closely for many years to bring an end to grave recycling by cemeteries which reused old grave plots. Thanks to LPF and CWGC advocacy, this practice is no longer permitted in Québec.
The Quebec Memorial, consisting of two granite blocks, was erected to commemorate Canadian service personnel of both World Wars who were buried in Quebec Province but whose graves could no longer be marked or maintained. It lists the names of 49 from World War I and 43 from World War II.[10]
Air Force Memorial[edit]
This monument was donated in 2003 by Flight Lieutenant Howard Ripstein, a former director of the Québec Branch of the Last Post Fund. It is a propeller in memory of Veterans of the Canadian and Allied Air Forces.
Army Memorial[edit]
This is a six-inch cannon commemorating the memory of Canadian and Allied soldiers who made the supreme sacrifice. It was donated by the Canadian Army in 1999.
An anchor dedicated to serve as a memorial for Canadian and Allied sailors. It was donated by the Canadian Forces' Longue Pointe Garrison in 1998.
De Salaberry Circle and Veterans' Memorial[edit]
This circle is named after Lieutenant Colonel Charles-Michel de Salaberry (1778–1829), the distinguished commander of the Canadian troops who halted the advance of invading American forces during the Battle of The Châteauguay on 26 October 1813, during the War of 1812. A French-Canadian nobleman, he served in the British Canadian army and commanded the troops in Lower Canada at the time. In the midst of this circle stands the Veterans' Memorial, dedicated to the memory of all Canadian military men and women who died in World War I, World War II and the Korean War.
D'Urban Circle[edit]
This plot contains the oldest graves in the National Field of Honour, those of soldiers who fought in campaigns in Canada and around the world as long ago as the 18th century. These include the Fenian Raids, the Napoleonic Wars, including the battle of Waterloo, and the War of 1812. These Veterans were originally interred at the Papineau Military Cemetery in downtown Montreal, which was used by British Forces from 1814 to 1869. That cemetery lay in the path now used by the access road for the Jacques Cartier Bridge. Relocating the remains of some 1,797 burials prior to the construction of the bridge in 1944, and preserving the headstones, was the most formidable single project in the history of the Last Post Fund. The first burials had taken place 130 years earlier. Identifying those interred proved difficult because of the poor state of the records and deterioration of the headstones. Fortunately, in May 1944, Sydney Ham voluntarily transcribed all of the information from the headstones and through long, difficult research compiled a comprehensive roster of those buried in the Papineau Cemetery. The magnitude of his contribution to preserving the memory of these Veterans' contributions to Canadian history cannot be overstated. During a five-day period, all the remains were exhumed and, together with the headstones now surrounding the circle, were transferred to the National Field of Honour with dignity and full military honours. The transfer was completed on July 21, 1944.
At the center of this circle stands an obelisk dedicated to Sir Benjamin D'Urban, commander of the British Forces in North America who died in Canada in 1849. This General and colonial administrator is chiefly remembered for his frontier policy as governor in the Cape Colony (now in South Africa, where the city of Durban is named in his honour). As a soldier, D'Urban began his service in 1793 and fought in the Napoleonic Wars where he won distinction in the Peninsular War as a quartermaster general. The obelisk is the National Field of Honour's largest monument. It was erected by his former comrades to mark his grave at the Papineau Military Cemetery and moved here when that cemetery relocated in 1944.
Jewish Section and Monument[edit]
This section of the National Field of Honour was consecrated in accordance with the tenets of the Jewish faith to permit Jewish veterans to be buried here. The monument is dedicated to the memory of Canadian and Allied Jewish Veterans who made the supreme sacrifice.
The Peace Circle[edit]
The Peace Circle was dedicated in 1997, after Canada changed its designation of Veterans to include those who had served on duty around the world in the service of peace. The Peace Monument was designed by the artist Jean Bernard, a World War II Royal Canadian Air Force Veteran. Atop a simple block of pink granite is perched a white dove which symbolizes peace. The words "Paix & Peace" are inscribed in the granite. This monument was funded by donation through Veterans Affairs Canada, the Royal Canadian Legion Quebec Command, the Montreal division of the Canadian Corps of Commissionaires and the ABN-AMRO Bank of Canada.
The Water Garden[edit]
The water garden was funded in part by the Ferguson Foundation, and it is intended to mirror the tranquillity of the Peace monument. By August the water lilies are beautifully blooming and benches are in place for visitors to enjoy the view.
The Columbarium[edit]
The Columbarium has been recently added to meet a growing need for Canadian Veterans and their spouses. This is being achieved with a twelve-unit Columbarium, offering a choice of over eight hundred exterior niches for cinerary urns. It is an impressive monument with benches for visitors to sit and relax.
Future Plans[edit]
There are plans for continuing development and expansion on this site. For 2011, plans have been drawn to build a new modernized Arthur Hair Reception centre to meet the growing demands of technology. Canada still has many veterans of the Second World War, Korean War and other actions their Armed Forces have participated in, and continue to participate in around the world today.

Magazine article Risk Management
Healthcare Risk Management Proving Its Value
Article excerpt
Healthcare organizations following consistent delivery guidelines and risk management practices produced substantial reductions in the number of liability claims and their average cost, according to a 12-year study prepared by MMI Companies, Inc., an international healthcare services company based in Deerfield, Illinois.
According to the results, following recommended risk modification guidelines in three of the most costly areas of healthcare liability led to substantially lower losses per medical malpractice claim. The survey reported average losses of $2,834, compared to $72,767 for claims in which no guide, lines were followed. The report indicates that aggressive implementation of risk modification guidelines not only reduces the cost of claims but also enhances the quality and safety of patient care.
"The findings from this report reinforce our philosophy that following a comprehensive set of guidelines, or a rules-based approach to managing risk, can improve clinical practice, leading to better patient outcomes and a substantial reduction in costs associated with liability claims," says Pam Lockowitz, president of MMI Risk Management Resources, Inc., (and a member of Risk Management magazine's editorial advisory board).
"Our goal is to help clients take a more systematic approach to clinical practice in order to improve patient outcomes," Ms. Lockowitz says. "We help them focus on the total system of care in their organizations. By identifying potential exposures, organizations can modify those risks to improve patient safety and healthcare quality."
Looking at the specific areas of improvement featured in the report, MMI said the increased use of better monitoring techniques during surgery has reduced the frequency and severity of anesthesia-related claims. This decline was produced despite the growing shift of surgical procedures away from operating rooms, where providers are very familiar with safety procedures, toward ambulatory or outpatient facilities.
"We saw the risks associated with anesthesia moving along with the patients," says G. Eric Knox, M.D., MMI's medical director and director of the Perinatal Center at Abbott-Northwestern Hospital in Minneapolis. "Through education and sharing claims and practice data with our clients, we began to see improvements in the use of monitoring technology outside the operating room. …

We are planning on starting GP in January with unit 16 however it will get off track quickly because we aren't using the christmas series. Will that be an issue? If so how can we change it?
Unit 17 Christmas in My Curriculum Manager
If you purchase a digital bundle for Volume 6 (Winter 2016-17), you will notice that there are only two units listed in that material—Unit 16 and Unit 18. Don't panic! All of the content—including Christmas Unit 17—is there! Here's what's going on.
Because the 2-session Christmas Unit 17 falls in the middle of Unit 16, we need to merge these two units together in My Curriculum Manager so that the Christmas sessions schedule for December 18 and December 25 and not after Unit 16 finishes. Again, everything is there—it's just that Unit 17 is rolled into Unit 16 for one larger unit. As you work through this volume, trust the session titles, not the unit and session numbers for the expanded Unit 16.
When you reach Unit 17, you will find the zip folders (green buttons) after the Unit 16 zip folders on the main page. The individual unit items also appear after all of the Unit 16 items. If you have a preschool and kids bundle, here is the order of how the items appear:
- Unit 16 Kids
- Unit 16 Preschool
- Unit 17 (Christmas) Kids
- Unit 17 (Christmas) Preschool
I have attached two screen caps that may help you see how the sessions are supposed to be scheduled if you begin the content according to our suggested use date of December 4. Also, there is a screen cap showing the organization of the Kids zip folders for Unit 16 and 17.
We know that this is not ideal, but it is the best solution we have found for the Christmas and Easter Units. Let me know if you have any questions or need help getting your Winter volume set up.

MIRANSHAH- Tehreek-e-Taliban Pakistan (TTP) spokesperson Shahidullah Shahid said today that Pakistan government claimed of releasing non-combatant Taliban prisoners was 'untrue'.
Shahidullah Shahid said that the government did not keep even one condition, we put ahead for ceasefire while accusing the government of continuing the military operation against them. Pakistan's rebellious Taliban rebel group TTP put before three conditions for a ceasefire and expedition of dialogue process. The first is being making of a 'peace zone' where they shall not be attacked if they directly hold talks with Pakistan government. The second is being the stoppage of operation against them. And the third was the release of their non combatant prisoners.

Get Querystring in Codeigniter Project
Posted by Rashedul Islam Sumon in PHP on October 20, 2010
In most of the codeigniter project it is turned off the querystring. And We can easily do anything without enabling the query-string because we can do everything by segment.
Now coming to the point. If you are integrating a payment system in your application and the payment gateway return you like the following method :

Understanding corporate finance: raising finance: issuing shares
Issuing shares
When a company is set up, the shareholders authorise the number of shares that can be issued. This is the authorised share capital. The company can issue shares up to this amount. The shares issued are the issued share capital.
If a company wants to issue more shares than it is authorised to do, it has to ask the shareholders for permission.
Generally, prior to 1 December 2003, it was against the law for a company to buy its own shares so it was not possible to redeem ordinary shares. It is now possible for a company to buy its own shares back from the shareholders.
If a company wishes to reduce its authorised share capital it needs permission from the courts.
There are many different kinds of shares, including:
Ordinary shares
Ordinary shares normally carry a right to participate in a company through voting and an entitlement to receive dividends. When a company is wound up the ordinary shareholders will be last in the queue to have the par value of their shares returned to them. It is also possible to issue ordinary shares which carry different rights. Often these shares are differentiated by being classed as 'A' shares, 'B' shares etc. It is possible to issue ordinary shares which carry no voting rights but do carry rights to dividends. This type of share might be found where the original shareholders want to keep control of the company's affairs but do not want to own more than half the shares.
Refer to HMRC Brief 87/09 (12 January 2010) for the meaning of ordinary share capital for corporation tax purposes.
Preference shares
Preference shares are not included in equity share capital because their rights are different to ordinary shareholders' rights. Preference shares do not normally give the holder the right to vote and so issuing preference shares will not take the control of the company away from the ordinary shareholders. They carry a right to a fixed dividend so the preference shareholder does not benefit if the company's profits increase. On the other hand preference share holders are entitled to their dividend before the ordinary share holders get theirs so the preference share holders' dividend is more likely to be paid if the company is not doing so well. In addition, if the company is wound up, it is common for the preference share holders to get repaid the par value of their shares before the ordinary shareholders get their money back.
Redeemable preference shares
The terms of issue of redeemable preference shares give the issuer the right to redeem them. This type of share comes near to having the qualities of a debt.
Cumulative preference shares
Cumulative preference shares allow the holder to be paid a dividend in a later year if there are insufficient funds to meet the dividend in an earlier year. This means the holder can probably ensure that dividends for all years are paid regardless of the ups and downs of the business.
Other types of preference shares
Preference shares can be structured to meet a variety of needs and may be a flexible instrument; hence they are often used by institutional investors such as Venture Capital Funds and include Cumulative Redeemable Participating Preference Shares.

This homemade costume for girls entered our 2012 Halloween Costume Contest.
A word from Riley, the 'Cupcake' costume creator:
I made my daughter, Riley, a cupcake costume. I used an old lamp shade for the bottom part then the rest is just quilting batting. The sprinkles are made out of felt. Saw the idea and did my best to recreate it. I bought the lamp shade for $1.50 and the felt for $1.00. I had the batting and spray paint so the whole costume cost me $2.50! Can't beat that!

Farm News March 2013
All Fancy grade so far...
After a very early and warm maple sugaring season last year, we are off to a more traditional season in 2013. We are fast approaching last year's production numbers with plenty of season left, so it is looking like a great year for maple syrup! This year's production to date:
|Feb. 26
|Feb. 27
|Feb. 28
|Mar. 2
|Mar. 6
|Mar. 7
|Mar. 8
|Mar. 9
|Mar. 10
| 20,760
| 403 (gallons)
Most days this season have been just warm enough for sap flow, which means the sap stays cool in the time it takes us to gather it and boil it. The sap also has been relatively sweet at about 2.2 % sugar. These are the conditions for producing the lightest maple syrup, or what's called Fancy grade.
Will there be dark syrup or Grade B this year?
There is still plenty of time in the maple sugaring season to make the darker grades. In fact, in the time it has taken to write this "farm news" we've gone from producing Fancy to the darker grades. Our maple sugarbush (i.e. maple forest) typically produces a lot of great flavored darker maple syrup, so we expect to have plenty of Dark Amber and Grade B this year.
Maple Open House Weekend Across Vermont
On March 23-24 many sugarhouses open their doors to visitors as part of the state-wide Open House Weekend. Visit our farm for a variety of activities: pancake breakfast, boiling demonstration, wooded maple trail, sugarbush maze, etc. Go to our Events page for more information.
Scenes From Around The Farm
Hale Hescock slides a cover on the bucket to keep out the rain and snow.
24 hours later, one drip at a time, the bucket is full of sap! Of course, the sap is only sligthly sweet at this stage, so it tastes almost like water.
Tim Hescock loads a piece of firewood into the wood-fired arch used to boil the sap down into maple syrup.
A roaring hot fire! Looking into the bottom of the evaporator.
Sweet smelling steam rolls from the top of the syrup pan as the water is evaporated off.
Each day a production sample of maple syrup is taken and placed in our sugarhouse window. Color and corresponding grade can change each day, but this year we've only been making fancy at this point in the season. For constrast, the sample to the far right is a Grade B sample from last year.
What About Changes to Vermont's Maple Syrup Grades?
The changes that were talked about last year are still progressing in Vermont's legislature. To put the U.S. states and Canada all on the same grading system, Vermont will decide soon whether to join in. It is likely we will, which means: Vermont Fancy will be called Golden Delicate taste, Medium Amber will be called Amber Rich taste, Dark Amber will be called Dark Robust taste, and Grade B will be changed to Extra Dark Strong taste. The changes could take effect in January 2014. We'll keep you posted...!
Listen to a recent discussion about the grade changes on Vermont Public Radio.

This is a rare sight.
It's not that she's sleeping that makes this photo rare, it's that she's sleeping without me. You see, my girl has always been really attached to her mom. Since she came out and pressed her tiny little feet onto my belly to work her way up to my breast, she's been hooked. So for that reason and the many other benefits of co-sleeping, she has always slept snuggled in beside me to sleep every night. It makes it SO much easier to nurse, as I pretty much sleep through her breastfeeding at night. It's wonderful bonding time for not only she and I, but for she and Rob as well. We've talked about how nice it is to wake up and see her sweet face first thing in the morning. My heart melts every time.
So, when I say that I'm nervous about tonight because this will be the very first time that she and I have slept apart from each other, maybe you'll understand. Rob and I are taking a short overnight trip to Knoxville so that I can get certified to instruct Zumba. It's something that I've been wanting to do for a long time, and I finally got the guts to quit putting it off and just do it. I'm really looking forward to attending the class and having a night for just Rob and I. I must admit, however, I am afraid of how my girl is going to handle it. I keep having these terrible visions of her screaming all night and my dad and step mom pacing the floor with her. I really hope that doesn't happen. It would be awesome to feel like I can leave her overnight every now and then should Mommy and Daddy want some Mommy and Daddy time. Cross your fingers, pray, do Hail Marys, or whatever it is that you think may help Sis (and I) get through this night with as few tears as possible.
I'll update with a full weekend report on Monday.
Happy Weekend,

Rather than trying to figure out why I don't read my Bible more, why don't I just pick it up and read it right now? - Nancy Ann
The curtain is torn in two.
The cross and the tomb are empty.
The cup of wrath is drained.
The victory is won.
The serpent is crushed.
The new creation is dawning.
The throne is occupied.
It is finished (τετέλεσται).
He is risen!
He is risen indeed!

It's a complete misconception, archaic and outdated, that autistics aren't creative and artsy. Oh please. It's also not true that autistic children do not play pretend and aren't creative or imaginative. My son is classically autistic, and he always plays pretend. He makes up his own stories, I'd have to say in his own peculiar little way, but he does.
I have AS and I'm an artist myself. I write and compose music, design outfits, abstract draw and paint, write poetry etc. I love colors and artistic patterns; anything creative. In fact, I need it in my life or I'm rather miserable.
I definitely am creative in a different way than an NT artist. I don't know quite how to explain it. It's very sequential, logical and precise within the creativity. It seems to need to make sense and adhere to patterns… but it's very creative and imaginary nonetheless.
Little girls especially have been and are continuing to be misdiagnosed and/or not diagnosed at all with autism. This is due to the fact that rather than act out, they are more likely to retreat into their "own little imaginary worlds" for comfort from their social difficulties and sensory issues.
They also tend to be better social imitators, and often have a "sixth sense" of feelings and vibrations, which makes up for the lack of ability to read facial expressions. That's not to say that some males aren't going under the radar for the same reason, to be fair.
Recently there has been a grant given to Yale University, to study the nature of autism in females, as it does seem to often differ a lot from most males. It also presents differently and more subtly; to the point where the diagnostic criteria fails many little girls. I myself was a "failed little girl"
Back to autism and creativity. My son is quite artistic, musical and imaginative. Many males with ASDs are too and the dry stereotype is nothing more than that.
For example, think Sheldon and Amy Farrah Fowler from Big Bang Theory. Well, I'll admit that I'm pretty Sheldon-ish at the core, underneath my exterior appearance and more feminine, imitatively streetwise mannerisms. However and back to the point, this stereotypical "personality" predominantly presents in that way, in only a fraction of us.
One has to consider personality, gender and life experience/environment to see how core autistic traits could manifest in varying individuals. I feel there is much artistic and creative potential to unlock in most autistic people. After all, we do often have a very high level of fluid intelligence. This means that we can see how many aspects of something, that may not be seemingly connected, can interrelate with each other and produce a new hybrid/compounded result. We can see things from various angles too.
A great example of this is how a brown-eyed parent and a blue-eyed parent can produce a child who is green eyed, due to the genetic mix of eye colors. This can easily translate to creativity/the arts, as well as logic…and maybe even both at the same time; which is always a great combo.
Let's start broadening our vision on what autism can look like in an individual human being, compounded with their personality and gender.

It was a bit of a surprise when a friend/club member said he be glad to have a game of napoleonics. The club venue was pretty empty this weekend, many of the regulars was at an tournament. Perfect opportunity.
I didn't really
have time to set up a scenario, it was just going to be two fairly
simple forces going in an pitched battle. My friend picked the French
force which I had prepared. Six battalions of regular infantry, two
light battalions and four guns. I commanded a Prussian force, one
fusilier battalion, two musketeers, and six landwehr musketeer
battalions. Also four guns and two squadrons of light cavalry.
I was a fun game, there was some wavering back and forth, I was at an
disadvantaged early on have squandered my cavalry and being shoot up by
superior skirmishing.
In the end we called it an draw, after all I killed no less then two(!)
of his brigade generals.
It was several months since I had a game so I had to
stop and look up some rules a few times, my opponent have only tried
General de Brigade once before so I had to "umpire" sort of.
We talked a bit of playing larger games with two or three players a side, might not be an impossible thought.
This Saturday I'm having a game with Erik against his British force. Looks like this connoisseur is back in business.
A few pics from the game.
