I like to begin by thanking Dr.Cane for inviting me to be here today. Although I'm not a geologist, I have been a collecting mineral for years. My collection is really diverse because I’ve traveled all over the world to find them. Today,I’ve brought a few specimens for you to see.After I discuss each one, I’ll pass8 g7 S& @. \* m& \2 @, g
it around so that you can look at it more closely. As you know, feldsparsare the most abundant minerals, and they are divided into a number of types. These7 f3 F" v. @9 R" t
first samples are orthoclases.Notice that they vary in color ,from white to pink to red. This glassy one is found in volcanic rock. In fact I found it in New Mexico on a collecting trip. This next sample that I'll pass around is a microcline mineral. also called Amazon stone. You could identify it by a bright green color. It's often used in jewelry and really is quite attractive. These final sample are all plagioclase feldspars. Many plagioclases are very rare so, I’m particularly proud of the variety in my collection. I’ve also brought a few slides of some large mineral samples and if you turn on right now I like to show them to you.

I'm glad you’ve brought up the question of our investigations into the makeup of the earth’s interior. In fact, since this is the topic of your reading assignment for next time. Let me spend last few minutes of class talking about it .There were several important discoveries in the early part of this century that helped geologists develop a more accurate picture of the earth’s interior. The first key discovery had to do with seismic waves, Remember they are the vibrations caused by earthquakes. Well scientist found that they travel thousands of miles through the earth interrior. This finding enabled geologies to study the inner parts of the earth. You see, the studies revealed that these vibrations were of two types: compression or P waves and shear or S waves. And researchers found that P waves travel through both liquids and solids while S waves travel only through solid matter. In 1906,a British geologist discoveried that P wave slowed down at certain depth. but keep traveling deeper. On the other hand, S waves either disappeared or were reflected back. So he concluded that the depth marked the boundary between a solid mantle and a liquid core.3years later,another boundary was discovered that between the mantle or the earth’s crust. There are still a lot to be learned about the earth. For instance, geologists know that the core is hot. Evidence of this is the molten lava that flows out of the volcanoes. But we are still not sure what' W: Z1 ~# A) `$ K5 C6 y

the old kind of road is a long lost trail between the Canadian province of Quebec and Maines in the northeast corner of the US. Yes it really was lost and finding it again was a complex process that involved state of our technology. How the location of the road was pinpointed was very interesting. And I’ll return to it as soon as I gave you a little background information. The road was begun in 1817, a few years before Maine even became a state. At the time ,Quebec was a major market for livestock, crops and fish. So official in Maine saw a road to Quebec as necessary for trade. For about 20 years the movement of people and goods was mostly from Maine to Quebec, and then the trend reversed as thousands of Canadians immigrated to Maine to escape poor crops, the lack of jobs and the threat of disease. I think it was a color epidemic. Beside its negative reasons major building projects in Maine also made the state very attractive for the Canadians who needed work. I should stress though that immigration during that period went in both directions. In fact, the flow of people and goods went completely unhindered. There wasn’t even a border post until around 1850.The people of the time saw Maine and Quebec as a single region mainly because of strong French influence which is still evidence in Maine today. Eventually the road fell into disuse as a major railway was completed. Finally people simply forgot about it and that’s how it came to be lost. This brings me back to the original topic.

Now that the warmer weather and longer days are here. We aren’t the only ones spending more time outdoors. This is an active time for bats as well. Migratory bats are now returning to the area, and young bats are starting to explore their environment. Young bats go off course, and this is when most people come into contact with them. Bats are a normal part of our environment and can even be a good thing. Bats help keep down the insect population, especially mosquitoes. Normal bats activity includes sleeping during the daytime and becoming active and flying in search of food at night, starting at dusk. It’s unusual to see a bat during the day. Normal bats don't fly around in the daytime or lie or crawl on the ground, so if you encounter a bat like that, you should call the health department immediately. If you have bats in your attic or house, cantact a pest control agency. They do not kill the bats, but make the recommendations on how to get the bats out of your home. You’ll want to create a one way valve from your house to outside so they can get out but can't come in. To avoid having bats in your house altogether, find all possible entry points into the house, and close them by caulking or screening the gap. Bat can squeeze through a gap of one half inch. Bats are the most likely carrier of rabies in our area. and almost 100 percentage of rabies cases are fatal. Make sure you dogs and cats are vaccinated against rabies. If you should come in physical contact with a bat, it’s important to get in touch with the health department or a doctor immediately. If possible, catch the bat, so it can be tested for rabies.

Management requires a great deal of energy and effort, more than most people care to make. One factor that affects managers and inhibits their capacity to provide leadership is stress. Stress has lots of causes, work overload, critism from workers, and can have negative health effects, including lost of sleep. It’s a fact managers have to deal with stress. Some handle it by making time to be by themselves. Most have some favorite place or pastime, a beach to walk on, maybe a stream to fish in, or a game to play with the kids. It’s important to have some form of rest and relaxation.creating art, working with your hands, gardening, playing sports, the list goes on. Rest doesn't mean always mean inactivity, for some people exercise is rest.

In order to know how behavior patterns can be changed, the clinical psychologist has to know what causes the client to behave the way he or she does. Identifying the cause is called diagnosis. In diagnosis a psychologist uses two basic tools, interviews and psychological tests. Through interviews and tests, the psychologist tries to classify the problem to see if it falls into any known categories.A psychologist may also attempt to describe the client’s personality in terms of how he or she deals with life. For example, some people like to lead and some prefer to follow the lead of others. Some people are active and outgoing, while others are quiet and reflective. In a diagnostic interview, the psychologist takes the client's case history. This means learning how the client got along with parents teachers and friends, as well as how the person handle difficult situations in the past. Psychological testing is the other way that a psychologist tries to diagnose the client's problems. Clinical psychologists have developed tests that can help them learn about a person's intelligence and personality, as well as tests that show whether a person’s behavior or perception is influenced by emotions, disabilities or other factors. Personality testing is useful in discovering how the clients tries to adjust to life. # J$ H- e  u7 V# A
Personality tests can reveal unconscious feelings the person is unable to talk about. This information can be important and could help shorten the length of treatment required.

Being amused in a condition we’re all familiar with, but what exactly is a sense of humor? It’s something very personal, and yet we communicate it to others by laughing. Laughter is a universal humor expression. All normal human beings can laugh. Children as young as one month old will laugh. People often laugh together, and people laugh louder and more frequently when other people around them are also laughing. Every comedian knows this, and research has confirmed it. Physically laughter is an involuntary tensing of chest muscles, followed by a rapid inhalation and exhalation of breath-a mechanism that releases tension. For most people a good laugh is welcome, and worth looking for, because it brings pleasure and relief. Human adults everywhere in the world enjoy making their children laugh. Adults make playful attacks on their children, tickling, teasing, and even pretending to bite them. Adults will throw small children up in the air and catch them again. This causes the child to experience mild stress, but in a secure setting because stress is carefully controlled by the parent. And when the child laughs, it’s a signal that he/she has successfully dealt with mild feelings of insecurity. This teaches the child about the shocks and fears that are part of human life, and which every human eventually has to deal with. This element of shock in an otherwise safe situation is an universal characteristic of situations where people laugh. Our sense of humor allows us to tell stories about situation we haven’t experienced firsthand. We called these little stories jokes. We tell jokes to show our frustration with the society we live in, especially its… well, its rules. Social rules and conventions provide us with a range of situations that we can turn into humor. And the things we joke about the conventions and rules we live by-are sort of tense areas in our society, they’re areas we can see the need for change. Humor gives us the power to think about changing the rules, making jokes and laughing are safe ways to change our social rules and conventions. Therefore comedians-whether they know it or not-are agents of social change. The ability to laugh is a vital part of being human. People who laugh together-or laugh at each other's jokes-feel close to each other. Laughter creates a sense of connection. Humor can also help us deal with anxieties we can't escape. Failure fear pain and death, they’re all real to us as they are no other no other animal on Earth. And without a sense of humor ,it would be difficult for us to live with everything we that know about the world.

$ i, G) p# V+ @: T+ O1 Q( `
There is always been tension-throughout our history, a kind of tension between private development and government regulation, especially when it comes to development of land for agriculture. CPT-a botanist who live in the 19th century- she predicted that the natural beauty of Canada's wildness would disappear because of agricultural development. She wrote in 1868 that the wilderness was, quote; destine to be swept away, as the onward march of civilization clears away the primeval forest. and turns the waste places into fruitful field, unquote.

But fortunately for us, CPT’s prediction turned out to be not entirely true. The Quinte wildflowers project proves that people can come together preserve the beauty of the wilderness. This project continues trend to beautify north American highways that goes all the way back to the 1960s and the beginning of the Adopt a highway programs. The programs that use volunteers to clean up the litter along roadsides. Since the sixties, beautification programs have been broadened to include the planting of native flowers and shrubs. In Canada a lot of time and money were being spent mowing the grass on roadsides, weeds and wildflowers alike. All were sprayed with herbicides to kill them off. Eventualy, the high cost forced the government to stop spraying and mowing. Since the 1980s,Ontario has turned to volunteers and private sponsors for roadside beatification. The QW project is the largest roadside planting of wildflowers in Ontario. The project was born in 1996.with the help of private sponsors and government horticulturists. Areas along an 18 km stretch of highway 401 from Trenton to Belleville were most of the sites were planted with 1 or 2 native wildflower seed mixtures. Both seed mixtures produce flowers that require little maintenance and hardy enough to survive roadside conditons. Each seed mixture contains several different species, so wildflowers bloom. So there is a steady show of colors from June to October. The QW project has been a huge success. Its greatest success has been in attracting both public interest and private sponsors. It’s demonstrates that government and citizens can work together. that partnerships between public and private sectors can and do work.
