Most birdsong so 'delightful' composers from Vivaldi to Beethoven to Wagner to Charlie “Bird” Parker have 'sampled' it
By Tom Mills
SAULT STE. MARIE - Spring has a soundtrack and it’s not Adele’s version of When the Red Red Robin Comes Bob Bob Bobbin’ Along.
It’s birdsong.
I’m not talking about those mundane and monosyllabic chirps you hear around the birdfeeder that translate into “food!” or “hawk!” or “you just pooped on my head!”
I’m talking about those delightful and sometimes elaborate larynx riffs trilled by our flitting feathered friends.
Those songs seem to echo and enhance our own elation that finally humans can shed our own coats of down.
So operatic are those avian arias that I’ve been known to set aside my springtime firewood-splitting chores and offer a “bravo!” or two.

2 Canadian hostages in Philippines
You can ascribe any number of trigger warnings to Monday’s gruesome news involving two Canadian hostages in the Philippines.
A deadline arrived. A ransom did not. And thus did the militants of Abu Sayyaf make real the threat to behead expat Calgarian John Ridsdel in a manner so repugnant as to be unworthy of repeating here.
A trigger of devastation for his many friends
and family, including none other than former Ontario premier Bob Rae,
who knew Ridsdel, 68, since college. When the news broke, a deeply
anguished Rae disclosed his months of ultimately fruitless involvement
in back-channel efforts to negotiate freedom for his friend.

Second Canadian still held hostage by al-Qaida-linked terrorists in Philippines
National Post
A Canadian man still being held hostage by Abu Sayyaf Islamic terrorists in the Philippines moved around the country for much of his life before sailing across the world.
Robert Hall, 50, an acquaintance of apparently murdered Canadian John Ridsdel, 68, was born in Calgary, and spent much of his life in the West, living in Port Coquitlam, B.C., and Campbell River.
He sold insurance and operated a welding shop and at one time piloted his own small aircraft. Later, he acted in low-budget, independent films.
But the lawlessness of the southern Philippines caught up to him, even though travellers come to the islands for their beauty, clean and natural environments.
He was abducted by gunmen, along with three other people, including Ridsdel, and held for ransom. His Filipina girlfriend, Marites Flor, was also taken prisoner, along with a Norwegian...http://news.nationalpost.com/news/world/second-canadian-still-held-hostage-by-al-qaida-linked-terrorists-in-philippines

"To Althea, from Prison," Richard Lovelace
April 23, 2016
On this day in 1642, courtier, soldier, and gentleman-poet, Richard Lovelace presented the Kentish Petition to Parliament -- a Royalist document calling for the restoration of the rights of King Charles I -- and was promptly imprisoned for it. His confinement produced "To Althea, From Prison"; this has become one of the most anthologized of 17th century poems, known especially for the poster-famous lines in the last stanza:
When Love with unconfined wings
Hovers within my gates,
And my divine Althea brings
To whisper at the grates;
When I lie tangled in her hair,
And fetter'd to her eye,
The gods, that wanton in the air,
Know no such liberty...
When flowing cups run swiftly round
With no allaying Thames,
Our careless heads with roses bound,
Our hearts with loyal flames;
When thirsty grief in wine we steep,
When healths and draughts go free,
Fishes, that tipple in the deep,
Know no such liberty...
Stone walls do not a prison make,
Nor iron bars a cage;
Minds innocent and quiet take
That for an hermitage;
If I have freedom in my love,
And in my soul am free,
Angels alone that soar above,
Enjoy such liberty.

Rabbit Lake mine closure bad news for workers, northern Saskatchewan: Grand Chief
Alex MacPherson, Saskatoon StarPhoenix
The loss of hundreds of jobs at a uranium mine near Wollaston Lake will have lasting effects for the workers, their families and their communities, according to the Grand Chief of the Prince Albert Grand Council (PAGC), which represents 12 First Nations across northern Saskatchewan.
“It’s going to add to the unemployment numbers in northern Saskatchewan … It’s going to be certainly bad for the families in terms of the layoffs,” Ron Michel said. “Hopefully, it turns around as soon as possible, but the only thing I can say is it’s going to add up to our northern unemployment numbers.”
Cameco Corp. announced Thursday that it’s closing the Rabbit Lake uranium mine indefinitely, which will cost $35 million and result in all but 150 of the mine’s 600 employees losing their jobs. Cameco is the country’s largest industrial employer of aboriginal people, and about half the workers at Rabbit Lake are from northern communities...http://thestarphoenix.com/

Earth Day and Total Transformation
By Carl Teichrib
“More than 6 million Canadians join 500 million people in over 180 countries in staging events and projects to address local environmental issues. Nearly every school child in Canada takes part in an Earth Day activity.” — Earth Day Canada1 [italics added].Just as in olden days, the Earth has become the focal point for worship. In Grecian times the supreme Earth deity was Gaia, also known as the Universal Mother. Sacred oaths were given in her name, and worshippers performed rituals in her honour.3 One commentator tells us,
“Earth is more than just a spaceship. She is our Mother. She gave us life. There is nowhere else to go but to stay and love her.” — Reader’s comment regarding John Kerry’s Earth Day blog.2
“The classic artistic representation of Gaia is a woman emerging breast-high from the earth. The goddess arises but never leaves her planetary body. Visceral rites, including plant, animal, and (presumably ecstatic) human sacrifice as well as unabashed sexual ceremonies were held to adore the goddess’s fecundity.”4In our contemporary era, Earth Day has become the modern celebration of Gaia. Partakers of this event, whether aware of it or not, play off the ancient pagan beliefs of a Universal Mother. Like the sacred oaths taken in her name, today’s Earth Day celebrants sign environmental petitions, make pledges, and
announce resolutions in support of Mother Earth. And like the old sacrifices to the deity, today’s Earth Day practitioners offer sacrifices of “good works” to the planet. Not only is the Earth a deity to be venerated, but the Earth itself – as the representative and embodiment of the Goddess – has become a modern day idol.
Do all who engage in Earth Day festivities realize the connections between this event and the ancient pagan deity? Some do, especially those who take a neo-pagan position, but many are unaware, thinking it’s a family-oriented way to engage in environmental conservation (much good is done during Earth Day, such as cleaning up stream beds or planting trees – but that’s not the issue). Motivated by good intentions, scores of individuals (including professing
Christians), participate without ever considering what Earth Day is actually about or the philosophies that underpin the movement...>>http://www.crossroad.to/articles

Inside the Secret Trade That Threatens Rare Birds
By
Singapore plays a key role as a major international transshipment hub
for the global aviculture industry, according to a new study by the Wildlife Conservation Society (WCS) and the wildlife trade monitoring organization TRAFFIC. That’s especially true for trade in African gray parrots.
African grays are highly sought-after as pets because they’re so smart and talkative. (Alex,
who lived with scientist Irene Pepperberg for 30 years, had a
vocabulary of more than a hundred words and a mind-blowing range of
cognitive skills beyond.) They’re native to Equatorial Africa, but populations are declining throughout
their range. Although millions of African grays have been bred in
captivity, demand for wild-caught birds remains high, and they’re
especially vulnerable because they roost in large groups and tend to
concentrate around water sources or mineral licks...>>http://news.nationalgeographic.com/

Soldiers of Odin, Europe’s Notorious Anti-Immigration Group, Beginning to Form Cells in Canada

strong, with about half of the crew wearing shirts with the insignia of a

Emblazoned on the front, with a biker-like design, was "SOO."

hands with the leader, a man named William, he called for the meeting

Many of you reading this are alive today because of antibiotics. It’s a
marvel of the modern world that has given us so much life. But because
of our abuse of antibiotics
and regularly consuming dairy products and eat meat that were given
antibiotics, bacteria are growing resistant and causing many of the
“last resort” antibiotics to be less powerful than in years past.
Inevitably, infections we used to easily treat will evolve and become

'1 more nail in coffin of global-warming deception' - update
A new, exhaustive study on
precipitation levels over more than 1,000 years shows the assumptions
made by the United Nations and other climate-change activists are badly
flawed, suggesting human activity may not be having the impact on global
climate that so many insist it’s having.
The report from Stockholm University in Sweden examined Northern Hemisphere rainfall statistics over a 1,200-year period. Researchers concluded that extremes between heavy rainfall totals and droughts were more severe centuries ago, before the fossil fuel-based economy ever existed. “Hopefully, this will be one more nail in the coffin of the great deception that is the global-warming deception,” said Dr. Tim Ball, a former climatologist at the University of Winnipeg who taught classes on global precipitation for some 25 years.
Ball is also the author of multiple books, including “The Deliberate Corruption of Climate Science.” He told WND and Radio America this report comes as no shock to him. In fact, he wrote about the very same issue just five months ago. Ball said the problem amounts in part to willful ignorance on the part of climate-change proponents.
“They list three major greenhouse gases: water vapor, CO2 and methane,” he said. “They then ignore water vapor. They just say the amount humans produce is of no significance, so they just assume it’s constant. That’s a problem.”
He continued, “The second problem is there is inadequate temperature data to build their computer models. The weather data covers only about 25 percent of the world’s surface. How do you build your models on that? The answer is you don’t.”
Don’t be fooled any longer — it’s just a power grab. Read “The Greatest Hoax: How the Global-Warming Conspiracy Threatens Your Future.”
He said reality has proven the experts wrong at every turn.
“Every single prediction they’ve made with temperature, starting in 1990, has been wrong,” Ball said. “Every one has been wrong. One simple word definition of science is prediction. If you can’t predict, you haven’t got science.”...Read more at http://www.wnd.com/2016/04/1-more-nail-in-coffin-of-global-warming-deception/

In fact, he wrote about the very same issue just five months ago. Ball said the problem amounts in part to willful ignorance on the part of climate-change proponents.
“They list three major greenhouse gases: water vapor, CO2 and methane,” he said. “They then ignore water vapor. They just say the amount humans produce is of no significance, so they just assume it’s constant. That’s a problem.”
He continued, “The second problem is there is inadequate temperature data to build their computer models. The weather data covers only about 25 percent of the world’s surface. How do you build your models on that? The answer is you don’t.”
Don’t be fooled any longer — it’s just a power grab. Read “The Greatest Hoax: How the Global-Warming Conspiracy Threatens Your Future.”
He said reality has proven the experts wrong at every turn.
“Every single prediction they’ve made with temperature, starting in 1990, has been wrong,” Ball said. “Every one has been wrong. One simple word definition of science is prediction. If you can’t predict, you haven’t got science.”...Read more at http://www.wnd.com/2016/04/1-more-nail-in-coffin-of-global-warming-deception/

Boko Haram, the Nigerian Islamic extremist group, has killed more people in the name of jihad than the Islamic State (ISIS), according to the findings of a new report. Since 2000, when twelve Northern Nigerian states began implementing or more fully enforcing Islamic law, or Sharia, “between 9,000 to 11,500 Christians” have been killed. This is “a conservative estimate.”...Continue reading...

Attawapiskat First Nation declares state of emergency after 11 suicide attempts in one day
A tattered Canadian flag flies over a building in Attawapiskat, Ont., on November 29, 2011. A remote northern Ontario First Nation has declared a state of emergency after numerous suicide attempts this week.
The suicide epidemic in Attawapiskat started in the fall, when a number of people tried to kill themselves, said Jackie Hookimaw, a resident of First Nation on James Bay.
Hookimaw’s great niece Sheridan took her own life in October. She was 13 years old. Hookimaw said Sheridan had a big heart, but she was plagued with multiple health conditions and was bullied at school.
More recently, Hookimaw said, she was at the community’s hospital where she saw a number of teenage girls being treated after purposely overdosing on drugs. As she was leaving, a man came in for treatment. Later, she would learn that he, too, had tried to take his own life...thestarphoenix.com
