Louis Even began to make Social Credit known in French Canada in 1935. In 1946, Louis Even published his marvellous book Sous le Signe de l'Abondance (In This Age of Plenty). The implementation of the principles expressed in this book would give peace and justice to the world. The clear and simple explanations make it easy for anyone to grasp Social Credit, even by people who have no prior knowledge of economics. Major Clifford Hugh Douglas, the founder of the Social Credit movement in the United Kingdom, asserted that Louis Even was the one who understood and expressed his thoughts the best. Fifty years later, in 1996, Louis Even's book was translated into English. In 1993, a translation into Polish was published and received a blessing from Pope John Paul II. The book is promoted by the Pilgrims of Saint Michael's Michael Journal out of Rougemont, Quebec, Canada - "a journal of Catholic patriots for the Social Credit monetary reform through the education of the population and not through political parties." In 1935, the provincial Alberta Social Credit party under William Aberhart won a landslide victory in the provincial elections, "on a platform of Christian leadership and reform of the monetary system - an alliance of God and Mammon." At the height of the Great Depression, in 1936, the Alberta legislature passed the Alberta Social Credit Acts to establish a Credit House and issue Alberta Credit in order to utilize "the unused capacity of the industries and people of the province of Alberta to produce wanted goods and services" and thus stimulate productive capacity that lay idle for lack of bank credit. At the "alarmed insistence of the chartered banks," writes Mallory, the liberal Dominion government in Ottawa under Prime Minister W.L. Mackenzie King referred certain parts of the legislation to the Supreme Court of Canada, rather than recommending disallowance to the Governor General.On March 4, 1938, the Supreme Court ruled that the power to create money and regulate banking was ultra vires (beyond the powers) of the provincial legislature of Alberta as its subject matter is embraced within section 91 of the British North America Act, the Constitution. The SCC's interesting reasons for judgment are reproduced in the Appendix of this book.

A NEW YORK TIMES BESTSELLER “Brilliant and enthralling.”​ —The Wall Street Journal A paradigm-shifting book from an acclaimed Harvard Medical School scientist and one of Time’s most influential people. It’s a seemingly undeniable truth that aging is inevitable. But what if everything we’ve been taught to believe about aging is wrong? What if we could choose our lifespan? In this groundbreaking book, Dr. David Sinclair, leading world authority on genetics and longevity, reveals a bold new theory for why we age. As he writes: “Aging is a disease, and that disease is treatable.” This eye-opening and provocative work takes us to the frontlines of research that is pushing the boundaries on our perceived scientific limitations, revealing incredible breakthroughs—many from Dr. David Sinclair’s own lab at Harvard—that demonstrate how we can slow down, or even reverse, aging. The key is activating newly discovered vitality genes, the descendants of an ancient genetic survival circuit that is both the cause of aging and the key to reversing it. Recent experiments in genetic reprogramming suggest that in the near future we may not just be able to feel younger, but actually become younger. Through a page-turning narrative, Dr. Sinclair invites you into the process of scientific discovery and reveals the emerging technologies and simple lifestyle changes—such as intermittent fasting, cold exposure, exercising with the right intensity, and eating less meat—that have been shown to help us live younger and healthier for longer. At once a roadmap for taking charge of our own health destiny and a bold new vision for the future of humankind, Lifespan will forever change the way we think about why we age and what we can do about it.

S2Allegheny hardwood regeneration response to block clearcutting, alternate strip clearcutting, and two-cut shelterwood, and in an uncut control was compared. Stand regeneration success was evaluated 5 years after harvest. Clearcutting resulted in high mortality of advance regeneration. Thus, regeneration by block clearcutting was not successful, though both alternate strip clearcutting harvests were successful. The first cut of the shelterwood established new seedlings but did not stimulate growth. Regeneration level increased from inadequate to adequate and remained so after the final harvest. New seedlings appeared in the control after each seed crop, but few survived. Fenced seedlings grew taller in all harvest areas.S3.

Libraries today are more important than ever. More than just book repositories, libraries can become bulwarks against some of the most crucial challenges of our age: unequal access to education, jobs, and information. In BiblioTech, educator and technology expert John Palfrey argues that anyone seeking to participate in the 21st century needs to understand how to find and use the vast stores of information available online. And libraries, which play a crucial role in making these skills and information available, are at risk. In order to survive our rapidly modernizing world and dwindling government funding, libraries must make the transition to a digital future as soon as possible -- by digitizing print material and ensuring that born-digital material is publicly available online. Not all of these changes will be easy for libraries to implement. But as Palfrey boldly argues, these modifications are vital if we hope to save libraries and, through them, the American democratic ideal.
