Book excerpt: "This report summarizes the review of previous granular demand forecasts for the Inuvialuit Settlement Region. A preferred methodology required for the completion of a new forecast is presented, including a list of contacts for granular demand information and a survey template. ... Under the IFA sand and gravel deposits on Inuvialuit-owned lands are managed under a system of use priorities which gives first priority to public community needs, second priority to the direct private and corporate needs of the Inuvialuit, and third priority to any project approved by an appropriate governmental agency. The public and private community needs for sand and gravel are estimated based on a twenty-year forecast of requirements. SCOPE: This report was prepared pursuant to Service Contract #A7133-06-0028 with Indian and Northern Affairs Canada. The departmental representative for this contract was Robert Gowan, Manager, Land Programs, INAC. The following outlines the scope of this project: Review briefly all previous granular demand forecasts prepared as part of the implementation of the Inuvialuit Final Agreement (IFA) and other relevant forecasts for the ISR to determine the scope and methodology used in previous forecasts. Identify, from previous forecasts and through consultation with DIAND and the Inuvialuit Land Administration, potential sources of information on granular resource requirements. Provide recommendations on a preferred methodology for obtaining the demand information needed to prepare a new granular resources demand forecast consistent with the requirements of the IFA. Prepare a survey template suitable for compiling the demand information required for the new granular resources demand forecast. Prepare a report that provides a brief summary of previous granular resources demand forecasts, identifies potential sources of information and methodology and includes an appropriate template for a new granular resources demand forecast. ... Depletion Record: The compilation of depletion records to determine volumes, classes used and the locations from which the material has been removed can be used for comparison purposes to incorporate into future forecasts. The depletion data can be requested at the same time as the demand survey information and be derived from all possible sources, irregardless of land ownership. Depletion information that is compiled should also be incorporated into the granular material supply database to update reserves" -- ASTIS (online) database.

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: The background and history of the various proposals since its inception in the early 1970's for a Mackenzie Valley gas pipeline in the Northwest Territories have been well documented. Within the most recent push of the last few years to get approval and construction started, the Proponent (Including the Producer and Aboriginal Pipeline Groups) have expressed a desire to have a pipeline in place and operating by 2010. As with many ongoing projects in the logistics and planning stages many changes have been made to streamline, simplified, and improve the overall venture. It is these changes and new release of data that was analysed for content relating to requirements of granular resources in terms of when and where, the quantity and quality, and the granular deposits projected to provide these resources. The following data, image manipulation, and data analysis was conducted using a Geographical Information System (GIS) called Manifold GIS Universal Edition 6.5. Preliminary Engineering Alignment Sheets dated February 1, 2005 reveal terrain units along the pipeline right-of-way. The 23 images containing this information were georegistered using a combination of matchline coordinates in degree-minute-second format and visual identification using images from the Mackenzie Gathering System COGOA Volume 4, given in UTM coordinates. The COGOA Volume 4 maps were georeferenced in the report titled ?Summary of Granular Resource Requirements and Availability for the Mackenzie Valley Gas Pipeline Corridor? March 2005 by Raymond Baksi. With the help of the Canadian Spatial Reference System GSRUG's online computation, the degree-minute-second coordinates were converted to UTM coordinates and the Algorithmic method 'Affine' (Scale, shift, rotate) in Manifold was applied to georegister the images. Terrain units depicting sand and gravel within a corridor around the gathering pipelines were digitized into area polygons. One-hundred-seventy-eight (178) in total were identified and logged, 73 of those were unique values. Pits, roads, and water sources were extracted from 1:50000 scale images of the route, georeferenced and provided by Ward Kilby at Cal Data Ltd. There were 126 distinct pits identified, 143 water sources, and 340 road or road segments connecting the pits, water sources, and the pipeline route. Land and water project permit applications for each of the four (4) land claim settlement areas; Gwich'in, Inuvialuit, Sahtu, and Deh Cho Regions were reviewed for mention of borrow materials. A hyperlink document tree was created for each of these applications to guide those interested in borrow material directly to those sections. ... The borrow sites identified in the Environmental Impact Statement Volume 2 Project Description from August 2004 were compared with that of the newly released February 2006 update Mackenzie Gas Project EIS Additional Information for the Joint Review Panel Environmental Inputs and Outputs. This report also estimates the total increase in volume of required granular material at 1.6 million cubic meters (Mm3) for a total of 6.5 Mm3. There were a total of 14 borrow sites added and 22 removed from the official list of granular resources sites. This results in a total of eight (8) less granular sites under consideration for use. Additionally, some borrow sites initially considered primary sites have moved to become secondary sites and some secondary sites moved to primary consideration. This ongoing project has seen many changes over the life of the proposal. As the proponent group moves ever closer to construction, the finer details of the project will be negotiated and finalized. As these decisions are made they should be incorporated into the knowledge base being built by DIAND. It can be reasonably expected that even after construction has commenced there will be further modifications. The Department of Indian Affairs and Northern Development in context of granular resources will likely want to stay abreast o f the issues to continue its efforts in granular management. -- ASTIS (online) database.

A hyperlink document tree was created for each of these applications to guide those interested in borrow material directly to those sections. Imperial Oil proposed several changes to the project on July 26, 2005. The Inuvik area facility would be relocated approximately 16 kilometres south down the pipeline from its initial location, and eight (8) pipeline line segments represent re-routes. These pipeline route segments totalled 77.3 kilometres and in all cases situated such that they shortened the total length of the pipeline. Although certainly not new, the Mackenzie Highway route was digitized from the initial 1974 Public Works Canada Western Region report. Completion of construction and ongoing maintenance of this highway which runs parallel to the proposed pipeline will compete for the same granular resources. The Proponent provided three large data sets, Pipeline Landform, Pipeline Sensitivity and Pipeline Vegetation prepared by AMEC Americas Limited. The pipeline landform images contained detailed polygons representing landform types. DIAND already has a set of data (from terrain units maps) representing sand and gravel landform features, so only the footprints of the 159 AMEC Pipeline landform images were digitized. If, at a later time, the data contained within these images is necessary it can easily be extracted from the georegistered files. With the high transportation costs and limited construction season in the north there is a concern over the correct distribution of granular resources, relative to proposed linear projects in the Mackenzie Valley. A comparison between the proposed pipeline and the Mackenzie Highway potential granular extraction haulage distance was prepared to better understand the competitive nature for these resources. Imaginary haulage buffers were created around the highway and the pipeline in one (1) kilometre increments, five (5) kilometres and 19 kilometres respectively. These buffers overlapped at various locations. This area of overlap is an area that will be ?stressed? for granular resources. In total 95 different combinations of pipeline and highway overlaps were compared and percentage overlaps calculated. Five (5) facility relocations and approximately 117 kilometres of the pipeline and gathering pipeline have been proposed to be re-routed by the project update (10800) on November 23, 2003. The reduction in the total number of compressor stations by one (1) and the re-routed pipeline will shorten the total length of the pipeline by roughly 26 kilometres. The number of primary borrow source sites cited for granular extraction has increased by one (1) to 68 and secondary sites have decreased by three (3) to 46. Despite the total reduction in granular sources, estimated granular resource requirements have increased by 1.6 Mm3. This data was extracted from eight (8) useful images provided in the report submitted by Sandy Martin on behalf of Imperial Oil. ...

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Scholars have long known that world music was not merely the globalized product of modern media, but rather that it connected religions, cultures, languages and nations throughout world history. The chapters in this History take readers to foundational historical moments – in Europe, Oceania, China, India, the Muslim world, North and South America – in search of the connections provided by a truly world music. Historically, world music emerged from ritual and religion, labor and life-cycles, which occupy chapters on Native American musicians, religious practices in India and Indonesia, and nationalism in Argentina and Portugal. The contributors critically examine music in cultural encounter and conflict, and as the critical core of scientific theories from the Arabic Middle Ages through the Enlightenment to postmodernism. Overall, the book contains the histories of the music of diverse cultures, which increasingly become the folk, popular and classical music of our own era.

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Archaeological practice is currently shifting in response to feminist, indigenous, activist, community-based, and anarchic critiques of how archaeology is practiced and how science is used to interpret the past lives of people. Inspired by the calls for a different way of doing archaeology, this volume presents a case here for a heart-centered archaeological practice. Heart-centered practice emerged in care-based disciplines, such as nursing and various forms of therapy, as a way to recognize the importance of caring for those on whom we work, and as an avenue to explore how our interactions with others impacts our own emotions and heart. Archaeologists are disciplined to separate mind and heart, a division which harkens back to the origins of western thought. The dualism between the mental and the physical is fundamental to the concept that humans can objectively study the world without being immersed in it. Scientific approaches to understanding the world assume there is an objective world to be studied and that humans must remove themselves from that world in order to find the truth. An archaeology of the heart rejects this dualism; rather, we see mind, body, heart, and spirit as inextricable. An archaeology of the heart provides a new space for thinking through an integrated, responsible, and grounded archaeology, where there is care for the living and the dead, acknowledges the need to build responsible relationships with communities, and with the archaeological record, and emphasize the role of rigor in how work and research is conducted. The contributions bring together archaeological practitioners from across the globe in different contexts to explore how heart-centered practice can impact archaeological theory, methodology, and research throughout the discipline.
