  • Environmental studies began at Peace River Coal's Trend mine in late 2003 and environmental monitoring continues to this day.  Environmental Assessment (EA) applications are in progress for the Roman Mountain Project which requires the collection of field data which includes air quality, geochemistry, climate and hydrology, groundwater, surface water and sediment, aquatic resources, soils and terrain, land use and tenure and heritage (archeology and traditional land use).

  • Peace River Coal endeavors to minimize negative operational impacts on the surrounding ecology and terrain, affecting not only our present, but the future for generations to come
    • trehbein
      trehbein on 07 Mar 11
       
      Although this sentence is intended to show company responsibility, it could backfire by creating the thought in the reader's mind that the mine processes are damaging to the environment. The use of 'affecting not only our present, but the future for generations to come' is intended to refer to the company's attention to minimizing impacts, but it could easily be interpreted to the negative effects themselves affecting generations for years to come. You could present the information in a more positive instead of a negative light, by saying what the company is doing to minimize operational impacts, without saying that the impacts are negative, and without pairing it directly with the thought that future generations are involved.

      This is an appeal to religion (since the authors quote a religious authority figure) as well as to morality. Without providing any kind of evidence, the authors attempt to convince people by telling them that it is their duty to oppose abortion.

      This is a personal argument based on the author's own personal experience. Although it shows what can happen, the author makes it seem as though it is an inevitable result of abortion. However, it cannot be generalized as other people may have had different experiences and feel differently about the issue.

      These pictures try to persuade people by making them believe that God does not condone abortion. It is also a reference to our 'playing God', which happens to be a common religious argument against scientific advancements. Furthermore, the depiction of children serves to demonstrate that children are an essential part of 'God's plan' and must, therefore, be protected. They also look weak and defenseless, which elicits an emotional response also known as the mother's / father's instinct.

      This is a picture of a 14-week old fetus. It, too, is supposed to elicit an emotional response, or a protective instinct. Since the 'baby' is fully recognizable as a 'human being' (due to the fact that it certainly looks like one), it serves to reinforce the argument that abortion is murder.

      The aborted fetus is supposed to make one feel disgusted and devastated as well as angry and sad. However, this is an 11-week old fetus (as opposed to the 14-week old fetus). It may be the case that there is a fundamental difference between an 11-week old and a 14-week old fetus in terms of their development into an actual human being.

      This brutal description of what happened to the fetus in the picture once again elicits a strong emotional response. In addition to that, the author also fails to mention that there may be more to abortion than the 'killing' of 'human beings'.

  • Sara will never learn how skip or play hopscotch. She will never experience her first date or the prom.
    • Marcus Ramirez-Santoyo
      Marcus Ramirez-Santoyo on 28 Feb 12
       
      This is an appeal to emotion. The authors make the readers recall certain significant past events such as their prom or their first date. By doing so, the reader is forced to think about what it would have been like if it had been him or her and the authors successfully make it a very personal issue.

  • Sara has been denied the right to vote, the right to freedom of speech, the right to work. All these things that women have worked so hard to achieve have been denied to Sara.
    • Marcus Ramirez-Santoyo
      Marcus Ramirez-Santoyo on 28 Feb 12
       
      The authors then go on to argue that abortion is not only morally wrong but also politically wrong as it takes away several rights from a 'human being'. Furthermore, they compare it to feminist issues (which is also why they chose to call the fetus "Sara" and refer to it as a "girl"), thereby appealing to women and especially to feminists (whether they be male or female).

  • This first question we must ask ourselves when considering our opinion on abortion is this: "Is something being killed?" Everyone familiar with biology will answer yes. The next question is "What is being killed?" A simple way to answer this is to ask "Does it have DNA? The answer is yes. What kind is it? Human. The DNA at 5 minutes after conception is identical to the DNA 85 years after conception.
    • Marcus Ramirez-Santoyo
      Marcus Ramirez-Santoyo on 28 Feb 12
       
      The authors try to argue deductively. However, they assume that everything they say is based on nothing but facts even though they never prove that everything that 'has human DNA' is in fact a fully developed human being.

  • "Jane Roe" in the case has since said it was the worse mistake she ever made. How come you never hear that in the main stream media? She was a puppet for an abortion agenda, another example of the abortion industry's abuse of young women.
    • Marcus Ramirez-Santoyo
      Marcus Ramirez-Santoyo on 28 Feb 12
       
      The authors try to persuade the readers that the women who decide to get an abortion are actually victims. Surely, some of them regret it but there are also women who do not regret it. By taking one example and presenting it as a general rule of thumb, the authors redirect the reader's anger toward the authorities and the institutions that support abortion.

  • Abortion is not the first time this word game of personhood vs. humanity has been played with human life. During the slave trade, it was acknowledged that black people were human beings, but not "persons". During the Holocaust, Hitler acknowledged that Jews were human beings. That's why he performed horrible experiments on them, but he did not acknowledge their "personhood."
    • Marcus Ramirez-Santoyo
      Marcus Ramirez-Santoyo on 28 Feb 12
       
      By comparing abortion to slavery and to the Holocaust, the authors once again elicit a strong emotional and moral response that leads to the readers thinking about the wrongness of the act. Abortion is thereby inevitably depicted as a crime (or even genocide), which is an attempt to make people want to oppose it.

      This comparison is invalid since the real question is whether a fetus is "alive" yet. Toddlers and the authors are without a doubt alive. Yet, the authors' use of an analogy is quite interesting as it seems to be an attempt to appeal to logic.

  • In the last 30 years approximately 21,500,000 women have died violent deaths in the United States. They have had their arms ripped off, they have had their legs ripped off, they have had their heads cut off. These women were defenceless, they could not speak out to defend themselves. They remained silent as they were brutally murdered. These women were not fully grown. They were waiting to be born. These women died from abortion. Most abortionists are men who say that they are in favour of women's rights and they say they shun violence against women. Obviously, they are not in favour of the rights of women in the womb.
    • Marcus Ramirez-Santoyo
      Marcus Ramirez-Santoyo on 28 Feb 12
       
      Once again, the authors appeal to feminism and claim (without any evidence) that abortion is, indeed, murder. They are thereby taking the peripheral route rather than the central route to persuasion as they focus on the emotional rather than the factual / logical aspects of the matter.

  • The abortion industry is a multi billion dollar industry and Planned Parenthood is now exporting this industry to countries around the world like a McDonald's franchise.  I just attended a summit on "Population Control" in Ottawa. It is scary to think that we are now trying to export abortion to countries around the world the way we export wheat. Much of this is being paid by our governments.

      Making it seem as though abortion is but a business distracts from other aspects of it such as 'abortion as a result of rape' etc. and redirects anger toward the institutions that support it. Hence, people's desire to put an end to abortion grows (if they do not critically reflect on it, that is).

      Repeating the main statement (it is murder) and ending the discussion with a 'prayer' emphasizes the wrongness of the act as well as the religious aspect of it. We should not play God because 'in Your way [God's way] we have absolute confidence', meaning that if God wanted it to happen it would happen naturally (by itself). Furthermore, ending the discussion the same it started is also very effective as it demonstrates that it is now 'complete' (like a 'vicious' cycle that one cannot escape).

      The logo is minimalistic. The periods in 'A.V.' as well as most of the other choices with the logo (inner white circle, Helvetica-style font, dark blue, etc) lend it a 'quirky' look that is clearly meant to appeal to young people.  On a more cynical level, it is meant to appeal to the 18-40 demographic that advertisers love.

In my personal experience, this is the kind of thing that overwhelms generations that did not grow up with computers.  More directly, I don't think my parents would be able to make any sense of this because it's too much information.  This again connects with the demographic appeal mentioned at the top of the page

      Right away, skimming the page, I feel that there needs to be more pictures. E-readers struggle to keep their attention to text for an extended period, so pictures will help break the monotony.

  • Books were good at developing a contemplative mind. Screens encourage more utilitarian thinking. A new idea or unfamiliar fact will provoke a reflex to do something: to research the term, to query your screen “friends” for their opinions, to find alternative views, to create a bookmark, to interact with or tweet the thing rather than simply contemplate it.

  • In ancient times, authors often dictated their books. Dictation sounded like an uninterrupted series of letters, so scribes wrote down the letters in one long continuous string, justastheyoccurinspeech. Text was written without spaces between words until the 11th century. This continuous script made books hard to read, so only a few people were accomplished at reading them aloud to others. Being able to read silently to yourself was considered an amazing talent. Writing was an even rarer skill. In 15th-century Europe only one in 20 adult males could write.

  • The first screens that overtook culture, several decades ago—the big, fat, warm tubes of television—reduced the time we spent reading to such an extent that it seemed as if reading and writing were over. Educators, intellectuals, politicians and parents worried deeply that the TV generation would be unable to write.

      It's interesting to see that, at one point, professionals believed writing would become a rare skill and the rarity of literacy would regress back to ancient times.

  • Cancer is ultimately the result of cells that uncontrollably grow and do not die. Normal cells in the body follow an orderly path of growth, division, and death. Programmed cell death is called apoptosis, and when this process breaks down, cancer begins to form. Unlike regular cells, cancer cells do not experience programmatic death and instead continue to grow and divide. This leads to a mass of abnormal cells that grows out of control.

  • Cancer harms the body when damaged cells divide uncontrollably to form lumps or masses of tissue called tumors (except in the case of leukemia where cancer prohibits normal blood function by abnormal cell division in the blood stream). Tumors can grow and interfere with the digestive, nervous, and circulatory systems, and they can release hormones that alter body function. Tumors that stay in one spot and demonstrate limited growth are generally considered to be benign.

  • Cells can experience uncontrolled growth if there are damages or mutations to DNA, and therefore, damage to the genes involved in cell division. Four key types of gene are responsible for the cell division process: oncogenes tell cells when to divide, tumor suppressor genes tell cells when not to divide, suicide genes control apoptosis and tell the cell to kill itself if something goes wrong, and DNA-repair genes instruct a cell to repair damaged DNA. Cancer occurs when a cell's gene mutations make the cell unable to correct DNA damage and unable to commit suicide. Similarly, cancer is a result of mutations that inhibit oncogene and tumor suppressor gene function, leading to uncontrollable cell growth.

  • Carcinogens are a class of substances that are directly responsible for damaging DNA, promoting or aiding cancer. Tobacco, asbestos, arsenic, radiation such as gamma and x-rays, the sun, and compounds in car exhaust fumes are all examples of carcinogens. When our bodies are exposed to carcinogens, free radicals are formed that try to steal electrons from other molecules in the body. Theses free radicals damage cells and affect their ability to function normally.

  • Cancer treatment depends on the type of cancer, the stage of the cancer (how much it has spread), age, health status, and additional personal characteristics. There is no single treatment for cancer, and patients often receive a combination of therapies and palliative care. Treatments usually fall into one of the following categories: surgery, radiation, chemotherapy, immunotherapy, hormone therapy, or gene therapy.

  • Surgery is the oldest known treatment for cancer. If a cancer has not metastasized, it is possible to completely cure a patient by surgically removing the cancer from the body. This is often seen in the removal of the prostate or a breast or testicle. After the disease has spread, however, it is nearly impossible to remove all of the cancer cells. Surgery may also be instrumental in helping to control symptoms such as bowel obstruction or spinal cord compression.

  • Radiation treatment, also known as radiotherapy, destroys cancer by focusing high-energy rays on the cancer cells. This causes damage to the molecules that make up the cancer cells and leads them to commit suicide. Radiotherapy utilizes high-energy gamma-rays that are emitted from metals such as radium or high-energy x-rays that are created in a special machine. Early radiation treatments caused severe side-effects because the energy beams would damage normal, healthy tissue, but technologies have improved so that beams can be more accurately targeted. Radiotherapy is used as a standalone treatment to shrink a tumor or destroy cancer cells (including those associated with leukemia and lymphoma), and it is also used in combination with other cancer treatments.

  • There are five broad groups that are used to classify cancer. Carcinomas are characterized by cells that cover internal and external parts of the body such as lung, breast, and colon cancer. Sarcomas are characterized by cells that are located in bone, cartilage, fat, connective tissue, muscle, and other supportive tissues. Lymphomas are cancers that begin in the lymph nodes and immune system tissues. Leukemias are cancers that begin in the bone marrow and often accumulate in the bloodstream. Adenomas are cancers that arise in the thyroid, the pituitary gland, the adrenal gland, and other glandular tissues.

  • Early detection of cancer can greatly improve the odds of successful treatment and survival. Physicians use information from symptoms and several other procedures to diagnose cancer. Imaging techniques such as X-rays, CT scans, MRI scans, PET scans, and ultrasound scans are used regularly in order to detect where a tumor is located and what organs may be affected by it. Doctors may also conduct an endoscopy, which is a procedure that uses a thin tube with a camera and light at one end, to look for abnormalities inside the body. Extracting cancer cells and looking at them under a microscope is the only absolute way to diagnose cancer. This procedure is called a biopsy. Other types of molecular diagnostic tests are frequently employed as well. Physicians will analyze your body's sugars, fats, proteins, and DNA at the molecular level. For example, cancerous prostate cells release a higher level of a chemical called PSA (prostate-specific antigen) into the bloodstream that can be detected by a blood test. Molecular diagnostics, biopsies, and imaging techniques are all used together to diagnose cancer.

  • Cancers that are closely linked to certain behaviors are the easiest to prevent. For example, choosing not to smoke tobacco or drink alcohol significantly lower the risk of several types of cancer - most notably lung, throat, mouth, and liver cancer. Even if you are a current tobacco user, quitting can still greatly reduce your chances of getting cancer. Skin cancer can be prevented by staying in the shade, protecting yourself with a hat and shirt when in the sun, and using sunscreen. Diet is also an important part of cancer prevention since what we eat has been linked to the disease. Physicians recommend diets that are low in fat and rich in fresh fruits and vegetables and whole grains. Certain vaccinations have been associated with the prevention of some cancers. For example, many women receive a vaccination for the human papillomavirus because of the virus's relationship with cervical cancer. Hepatitis B vaccines prevent the hepatitis B virus, which can cause liver cancer. Some cancer prevention is based on systematic screening in order to detect small irregularities or tumors as early as possible even if there are no clear symptoms present. Breast self-examination, mammograms, testicular self-examination, and Pap smears are common screening methods for various cancers.

      One really important thing is that they use a white background and black text and the reason for that is because its proven that its the easiest to read and they would like for people to be able to read the context as much as possible. Also choosing the right combination of pictures and videos must have taken lots of time for them because its really important for them to target the right people.

          The three short words "Make Death Wait" are very impact-full. Just the name of the campaign appeals to the emotions before even knowing what the campaign is about. We all know death is inevitable and that for some it happens sooner than it should. So the thought of making something inevitable wait gives hope.

      • Reputation management has now become a defining feature of online life for many internet users, especially the young. While some internet users are careful to project themselves online in a way that suits specific audiences, other internet users embrace an open approach to sharing information about themselves and do not take steps to restrict what they share.

      • Compared with older users, young adults are not only the most attentive to customizing their privacy settings and limiting what they share via their profiles, but they are also generally less trusting of the sites that host their content.

      • The ocean may look calm and serene, but beneath the surface is a different story. Around the world, our oceans are in crisis. Decades of industrial fishing have taken a massive toll on marine ecosystems, yet our appetite for seafood has never been so great. Even the deep and remote areas that once served as refuges from fishing are no longer safe havens; today the fish have no place to hide.

      • We have a responsibility to protect our oceans for future generations. To help supermarkets and consumers make better seafood purchasing choices, Greenpeace has created a Redlist of the 15 most destructively fished or farmed species, including Atlantic cod, tropical shrimp and some tuna. (Click here for the complete Redlist.) Greenpeace wants supermarkets to stop stocking Redlisted species and develop sustainable seafood policies. The fish on the Redlist are there because fishery and/or production methods have negative impacts on the target species and/or other marine species, lead to ecosystem alterations, have social implications or are poorly managed or corrupt. Each Redlist fish went through the Greenpeace red-grade criteria — one for wild species and one for farmed. During the ongoing assessment process, Greenpeace reviews the most recent scientific research relating to each stock or aquaculture system, scrutinizes government sources and consults grading schemes used by other organizations.

      • Greenpeace believes the only way to allow our oceans to recover and ensure there are fish for the future is to stop overfishing and destructive practices such as bottom trawling and dredging, while protecting our polar oceans and setting aside no-take areas in marine reserves to safeguard against growing threats from climate change and ocean acidification. In Canada and around the world, progress in marine protection has been slow. Greenpeace is working to step up the pace by lobbying governments and industry.

      • From coast to coast, Canadians are witnessing ocean mismanagement firsthand. Cod have all but vanished on the East Coast, and on the West Coast, millions of Sockeye salmon have disappeared from the Fraser River. On a global scale, this mismanagement is magnified, with less than one per cent of the world’s oceans protected, and species such as bluefin tuna and sharks nearing the point of complete collapse. More than 90 per cent of large predatory species such as tuna, cod and swordfish have vanished from our oceans. On harmful longlines set out for swordfish, sea turtles are being slaughtered by the thousands — innocent victims of irresponsible ocean management and a lack of proper regulation.

          MuscleHack has two main slogans, the highlighted one being "Home of Muscle Growth" and the one in the logo being "Mor Muscle, Less Fat, Less Time." Mark McManus, the blogger who maintains MuscleHack, makes it clear right away that this is a website dedicated to shedding off as much fat and putting on as much muscle in as little time as possible.

Immediately, the blogger uses repetition (in conjunction with the slogans) to get it clear that this website is entirely about muscle gain, no questions asked.

          For Mark to still turn a profit on this blog, he has some blatant advertisements through Amazon.com posted on the blog. While he probably recommends all these products, this is also his source of income.

      • The Muscle Hacker is Mark McManus, a 29 year old Certified Fitness Instructor committed to helping others build the body of their dreams. Mark is a naturally skinny guy who overcame the hardgainer's curse through years of research and personal experience. Whether you want to build new slabs of muscle or drop your body fat percentage to reveal chiseled abs, Mark CAN make it happen for you.

          Mark uses Ethos by claiming he is a Certified Fitness Instructor, who was a "hardgainer" (ie, a skinny or slim male who has difficulty in developing muscle) who overcame this barrier; therefore, he must have the credentials to help you gain muscle also.

          Mark also uses Pathos, by stating his commitment to helping others build the body of their dreams and making your fitness goals happen for you. The suggestion is that Mark wants to help you become fit.

          Near the top of the page, you have an opportunity to "grap a copy of Mark's FREE book". I have personally looked into this myself, and what it doesn't tell you is that this is that you end up the mailing list by asking for this book. While it is very easy to withdraw from the mailing list, it is a clever trick to get you to come back to this website at least once to remove yourself from the list. Mark may realize that one return to his website could be enough to keep you coming back for more out of curiosity, something he as a blogger wants out of readers.

          The website is riddled with pictures of muscular men. This is an appeal to men who want to have that physical appearance. The pictures are an attempt to subconsciously plant the (inaccurate) logic of "If I read this blog, I will look like these men" in the minds of certain readers.

          Another side note about these pictures - most of them are actually of Mark, trying to convince the reader that this blogger has seen results with his own information, and so must have some sort of credibility (Ethos).

          To provide an outlet for users to passively advertise MuscleHack, users have the option to like MuscleHack on Facebook. The ideology behind this is that this act of liking MuscleHack will result in a post in Facebook's news feed, resulting in the possibility of Mark receiving a new reader from a curious Facebooker.

          It's not a major thing, but it is still worth noticing that Mark generously uses font formatting to his advantage in his writing. Headings and sub-headings have different size and style of font. Points which call for extra attention in the body writing are written in red to draw in readers.

      • Technological networks have transformed prominent businesses sectors: music, television, financial, manufacturing. Social networks, driven by technological networks, have similarly transformed communication, news, and personal interactions. Education sits at the social/technological nexus of change – primed for dramatic transformative change. In recent posts, I’ve argued for needed systemic innovation. I’d like focus more specifically on how teaching is impacted by social and technological networks.

      • social and technological networks subvert the classroom-based role of the teacher. Networks thin classroom walls. Experts are no longer “out there” or “over there”. Skype brings anyone, from anywhere, into a classroom. Students are not confined to interacting with only the ideas of a researcher or theorist. Instead, a student can interact directly with researchers through Twitter, blogs, Facebook, and listservs. The largely unitary voice of the traditional teacher is fragmented by the limitless conversation opportunities available in networks. When learners have control of the tools of conversation, they also control the conversations in which they choose to engage.

        Cancel
      • Course content is similarly fragmented. The textbook is now augmented with YouTube videos, online articles, simulations, Second Life builds, virtual museums, Diigo content trails, StumpleUpon reflections, and so on.

      • Filtering resources is an important educator role, but as noted already, effective filtering can be done through a combination of wayfinding, social sensemaking, and aggregation. But expertise still matters. Educators often have years or decades of experience in a field. As such, they are familiar with many of the concepts, pitfalls, confusions, and distractions that learners are likely to encounter.

To teach well in networks – to weave a narrative of coherence with learners – requires a point of presence. As a course progresses, the teacher provides summary comments, synthesizes discussions, provides critical perspectives, and directs learners to resources they may not have encountered before.

          This paragraph seems a bit jumbled. Because it's the first text people read, it may be more beneficial to state something more general and audience-friendly. What is written here seems a bit technical to jump into right off the start. Or, instead of having it all in one paragraph, it could be split into bullet points for easier reading.

          'Local and others' seems very vague. Something like 'With the help of our local and global partners,' may be more straightforward. It almost seems like using 'others' could be misinterpreted for the reader to think that the company is hiding something about their partners.

      • The Solution: A big step forward in removing harmful chemicals from your home, body and environment is going detergent-free. After washing a fabric a few times with SmartKlean, you can completely eliminate all traces of detergent. With SmartKlean there is no need for laundry detergents, fabric softeners or dryer sheets. Our laundry ball is designed to wash effectively, leave clothes soft and leave zero residues behind on clothes and linens.&nbsp; For those with skin sensitivities or conditions such as eczema, SmartKlean is ideal. It is important to note that even the trusted eco-friendly, hypoallergenic laundry detergents may contain SLS and SLES and other harsh chemicals. In addition, many soaps found in grocery stores contain additives that can still cause skin irritations. Although there are safer alternatives such as true soap, the easiest to use and by far the most economic choice for cleaning laundry is the SmartKlean Laundry Ball.

Sadly, many of these are children. 90% of eczema sufferers experience symptoms before they reach the age of 5. A common type of eczema, ‘irritant contact dermatitis’, develops after frequent exposure to a mild irritants such as detergent.

      • The Problem: Regular laundry detergents leave residue in your clothes and linens each time they are washed. It is easy to verify this by smelling them. After eight washes, two percent of a garment’s weight comes from detergent residue. For people with skin sensitivities, this residue can not only cause severe skin irritations, but can also cause fabric to stiffen when it dries. Because of this, fabric softener is used to lubricate the fibers in order to make the fabric move freely again. Although it takes care of the itchy, stiff fabric, it only adds to the pile of chemical residues.
