Northwest Profiles: Down On The Bar U
Visit “the ranch that fed the world”, the historic Bar U Ranch. Located south of Longview, Alberta, the Bar U was one of the first corporate ranches in western Canada. The Bar U’s beef products fed Native Canadians, railroad workers, Mounties, and were shipped to cities in the U.S. and Britain. Now a Parks Canada site, the Bar U has ties to the Prince of Wales, to one of Canada’s most prominent black cowboys and to the Calgary Stampede.

For this registered nurse, practising in a medieval village offers the perfect work/live balance
Katrina Smith grew up near Galahad, AB, a village with a medieval theme. There's a statue of Sir Galahad on his horse just off Guinevere Avenue.
As an adult, she went on to Calgary to become a registered nurse, and worked there for a decade. But, when it came time to start a family, her rural roots called her home. Today, she feels that from both a family and work perspective, it's the best decision she has ever made.
May 27-31 is Alberta Rural Health Week (ARHW). RhPAP is celebrating the contributions of health workers to quality of life in rural Alberta.
We invite you to join us by giving a special shout out to the health professionals who've made a difference in your life. And when you salute them on social media, please add #RuralHealthMatters and join the conversation.

Montreal, Downtown and Vieux-Montreal - Canada HD Travel Channel
Montreal is the second largest city in Canada and the second largest French speaking city in the world. Its metropolitan area is home for 3.6 million people. 1600 km away from the Atlantic Ocean, it is the most important port city in eastern Canada. Until 1760 the town was in French possession. With the Treaty of Paris, Montreal like whole Canada, was handed over to the British. The statue of Lord Nelson in front of the Town Hall is the evidence of it.
Montréal is marked through and through by French culture. Especially in the old town -Vieux-Montreal - at the harbor, in the pubs and in the music, you feel the spirit of the mother country, which once came from the settlers. Here one speaks French but you also hear Joual, the dialect of the province Quebec with American influences. Narrow streets with some three hundred years old houses convey the feeling that one is in the French province. The horse-drawn carriages that are encountered here at every turn give this impression even a further touch of the past.
There are other means of transportation, like a family day out of a different kind with the Segway.
The passenger port is a good place to see the impressive market hall of the Marché Bonsecours. Originally it was City Hall and Parliament seat, later it became concert hall. Today, preferentially art objects and furniture were offered inside.
Back in Vieux-Montreal we admire the old guild signs and let the atmosphere of the old town effect on us.
The Place d'Armes, where once the military parades took place, the centre of the old banking area and a popular meeting place is for locals and tourists.
Worth seeing is the cathedral Marie-Reine-du-Monde. Built in 1894, it is a scale model of Saint Peter's Basilica in Rome.
In this area, the construction of the underground of Montreal was started. Similarly to Toronto, the skyscrapers are connected to the town by underground and shopping arcades by means of Path.
Today, the former Union Station serves as a meeting and concert hall. Between the skyscrapers of the banks and consulting firms you see a sculpture of the British sculptor Henry Moore.

Montréal ist die zweitgrößte Stadt Kanadas und die zweitgrößte französisch sprechende Stadt der Welt. Im ihrem Großraum leben 3,6 Millionen Menschen. 1600 km vom Atlantik entfernt ist sie die bedeutendste Hafenstadt im Osten Kanadas. Bis 1760 war die Stadt in französischem Besitz. Mit dem Frieden von Paris wurde sie wie ganz Kanada an die Briten abgetreten. Die Statue von Lord Nelson vor dem Rathaus zeugt davon.
Montréal ist durch und durch von französischen Kultur geprägt. Vor allem in „Vieux-Montréal der Altstadt am Hafen, in den Kneipen und in der Musik spürt man den Geist des Mutterlandes, aus dem einst die Siedler kamen. Hier wird französisch gesprochen, aber auch Joual, den eigenständig fortentwickelten Dialekt der Provinz Québec mit amerikanischen Einflüssen. Engen Gassen mit teilweise dreihundert Jahre alten Häusern, vermitteln das Gefühl, man sei in der französischen Provinz. Die Kutschen, denen man hier auf Schritt und Tritt begegnet, geben diesem Eindruck noch zusätzlich einen Hauch von Vergangenheit.
Aber es gibt auch noch andere Fortbewegungsmittel. Ein Familienausflug der etwas anderen Art mit dem Segway.
Vom Passagierhafen aus ist die beeindruckende Markthalle des Marché Bonsecours gut zu sehen. Ursprünglich war sie Rathaus und Parlamentssitz, später Konzertsaal. Heute werden in ihrem Inneren bevorzugt Kunstgegenstände und Möbel angeboten.
Zurück in „Vieux-Montréal bewundern wir die alten Zunftzeichen und lassen die Atmosphäre der Altstadt auf uns einwirken.
Der Place d'Armes, wo einst Truppenparaden stattfanden, ist der Mittelpunkt des alten Bankenviertels und ein beliebter Treffpunkt für die einheimische Bevölkerung und Touristen.
Nicht weniger sehenswert ist die in etwas kleinerem Maßstab 1894 dem römischen Petersdom in Rom nach empfundene Kathedrale Marie-Reine-du-Monde.
Von hier aus wurde der Bau der Montrealer Untergrundbahn begonnen. Ähnlich wie in Toronto sind die Hochhäuser der Stadt durch U-Bahn und Einkaufspassagen mittels „Path verbunden.
Die ehemalige Union Station dient heute als Veranstaltungshalle und Konzertsaal. Zwischen den Hochhäusern der Banken und Consulting-Unternehmen steht eine Skulptur des britischen Bildhauers Henry Moore.

Lot 179: Magnificent White Jade Lion Group, 18th Century
Magnificent White Jade Lion Group, 18th Century
The large jade boulder expertly carved in the round to depict a pair of recumbent lions with one resting on the other, both animals masterfully rendered with curling tufts of hair along their manes and compressed faces, the fur parting along their backs; the smaller beast with a playful and animated expression, its eyes widened and holding a long swirling ribbon in its mouth, tied around a brocade ball and continuing along the underside connecting to a secondary patterned ball, its front paw perched on the larger lion which is resting in a curled position with its bushy tail wrapped along the front of its muscular body; the stone of mostly white tone with a hint of celadon and minor white and yellow inclusions, the natural fissures of the jade incorporated into the overall design especially along the sweeping tails, curling hair, and cascading ribbons highlighting the depth and movement of the carving. Wood stand, 3.7 x 6.7 x 7.3 — 9.5 x 17 x 18.5 cm.
Est. $30,000/50,000
Provenance: Spink & Son, Ltd., London, 1960's by repute
Lots 177-184: Chinese Works of Art from the Estate of the 3rd Viscount Bearsted, London, England
The following lots were purchased during the 1960's and 1970's by the 3rd Viscount Bearsted, Marcus Richard Samuel (1909-1986), whose family founded Shell Transport and Trading Company. He was an avid collector of Chinese and International art and bequeathed the items to relatives who are now living in Calgary.
Founded in 1897, Shell Transport and Trading Company merged with the Royal Dutch Petroleum Company in 1907 to form the Royal Dutch Shell Group now the fifth-largest operating business in the world.
Note: The pairing of two lions, one larger and the other smaller, can be understood literally as senior lion-little lion. However, this combination bears an additional significance and can be regarded as a wish for a successful career, specifically in the official court realm. Traditionally, the lions were associated with two highly prestigious positions in Imperial China - the Grand Preceptor, the emperor's teacher, and the Junior Guardian, the crown prince's mentor. Both positions related to education and teaching and played upon the homophone for lion, which was teacher or master.
This jade carving of two lions is exceptionally rare because of the size and quality of the work. Of rounded pyramid form, the pale celadon stone is much larger than most examples, and is carved over multiple plains, creating an increased sense of depth and dimension. Expertly handled, the two figures are carefully rendered with a high level of detail throughout, from the swirling curls of the lions mane to the cascading ribbons attached to the brocade ball. For a smaller example of this subject, see Christie's New York, Superb Jade Carvings from an Important European Collection, September 15, 2011, lot 1008.

TRAVEL VLOG - ROADTRIP TO SOLVANG Part 1
Part one of out Solvang roadtrip. Me trying twinkies for the first time ever, and you will see my reaction in the video..
Solvang is a city in Santa Barbara County, California. It is located in the Santa Ynez Valley. The population was 5,245 at the 2010 census, down from 5,332 at the 2000 census. Solvang was incorporated as a city on May 1, 1985
Solvang was founded in 1911 on almost 9,000 acres (3,600 ha) of the Rancho San Carlos de Jonata Mexican land grant, by a group of Danes who traveled west to establish a Danish community far from the midwestern winters. The city is home to a number of bakeries, restaurants, and merchants offering a taste of Denmark in California. The architecture of many of the façades and buildings reflects traditional Danish style. There is a copy of the famous Little Mermaid statue from Copenhagen, as well as one featuring the bust of famed Danish fable writer Hans Christian Andersen. A replica of Copenhagen's Round Tower or Rundetårn in the scale 1:3 was finished in 1991 and can be seen in the town center.
Mission Santa Inés, one of the California missions (National Historic Landmark), is located near the center of the town, at the junction of State Route 246 and Alisal Road.
