You may want to pause for a minute of silence at 1 p.m. on Monday, September 1, the centennial of the moment when "Martha" - the last Passenger Pigeon on the planet - quietly kicked the bucket at the Cincinnati Zoo. Many organizations are acknowledging what is arguably the world's most infamous extinction event, including the <http://www.rom.on.ca/en/exhibitions-galleries/exhibitions/current-exhibitio ns/passenger-pigeons> Royal Ontario Museum, the <http://nature.ca/en/plan-your-visit/what-see-do/whats/passenger-pigeons> Canadian Museum of Nature, and the <http://www.si.edu/Exhibitions/Details/Once-There-Were-Billions-Vanished-Bir ds-of-North-America-5126> Smithsonian Institution. In case you missed it, please read <http://www.birdscanada.org/organization/images/news/pdfs/BWCsu14PAPI.pdf> "One Hundred Years after Martha, the Last Passenger Pigeon" from the Summer issue of Bird Studies Canada's magazineBirdWatch Canada, written by our Director of National Programs Jon McCracken. ========================================================================== Patrick Kelly Director of Computer Facilities ========================================================================== Faculty of Architecture and Planning Dalhousie University ========================================================================== MAIL COURIER PO Box 15000 5410 Spring Garden Road Halifax, Nova Scotia B3H 4R2 Halifax, Nova Scotia Canada Canada ========================================================================== Phone:(902) 494-3294 FAX:(902) 423-6672 E-mail:patrick.kelly@dal.ca ========================================================================== ------=_NextPart_000_0047_01CFC6D7.C6B458D0 Content-Type: text/html; charset="us-ascii" Content-Transfer-Encoding: quoted-printable <html xmlns:v=3D"urn:schemas-microsoft-com:vml" = xmlns:o=3D"urn:schemas-microsoft-com:office:office" = xmlns:w=3D"urn:schemas-microsoft-com:office:word" = xmlns:m=3D"http://schemas.microsoft.com/office/2004/12/omml" = xmlns=3D"http://www.w3.org/TR/REC-html40"><head><META = HTTP-EQUIV=3D"Content-Type" CONTENT=3D"text/html; = charset=3Dus-ascii"><meta name=3DGenerator content=3D"Microsoft Word 14 = (filtered medium)"><base href=3D"x-msg://2/"><style><!-- /* Font Definitions */ @font-face {font-family:Helvetica; panose-1:2 11 6 4 2 2 2 2 2 4;} @font-face {font-family:Courier; panose-1:2 7 4 9 2 2 5 2 4 4;} @font-face {font-family:Courier; panose-1:2 7 4 9 2 2 5 2 4 4;} @font-face {font-family:Calibri; panose-1:2 15 5 2 2 2 4 3 2 4;} @font-face {font-family:Tahoma; panose-1:2 11 6 4 3 5 4 4 2 4;} /* Style Definitions */ p.MsoNormal, li.MsoNormal, div.MsoNormal {margin:0cm; margin-bottom:.0001pt; font-size:12.0pt; font-family:"Times New Roman","serif";} a:link, span.MsoHyperlink {mso-style-priority:99; color:blue; text-decoration:underline;} a:visited, span.MsoHyperlinkFollowed {mso-style-priority:99; color:purple; text-decoration:underline;} p.MsoAcetate, li.MsoAcetate, div.MsoAcetate {mso-style-priority:99; mso-style-link:"Balloon Text Char"; margin:0cm; margin-bottom:.0001pt; font-size:8.0pt; font-family:"Tahoma","sans-serif";} span.apple-converted-space {mso-style-name:apple-converted-space;} span.apple-style-span {mso-style-name:apple-style-span;} span.BalloonTextChar {mso-style-name:"Balloon Text Char"; mso-style-priority:99; mso-style-link:"Balloon Text"; font-family:"Tahoma","sans-serif";} span.EmailStyle21 {mso-style-type:personal-reply; font-family:"Calibri","sans-serif"; color:#1F497D;} .MsoChpDefault {mso-style-type:export-only; font-size:10.0pt;} @page WordSection1 {size:612.0pt 792.0pt; margin:72.0pt 72.0pt 72.0pt 72.0pt;} div.WordSection1 {page:WordSection1;} --></style><!--[if gte mso 9]><xml> <o:shapedefaults v:ext=3D"edit" spidmax=3D"1026" /> </xml><![endif]--><!--[if gte mso 9]><xml> <o:shapelayout v:ext=3D"edit"> <o:idmap v:ext=3D"edit" data=3D"1" /> </o:shapelayout></xml><![endif]--></head><body lang=3DEN-CA link=3Dblue = vlink=3Dpurple><div class=3DWordSection1><p class=3DMsoNormal><span = style=3D'font-size:11.0pt;font-family:"Calibri","sans-serif";color:#1F497= D'>The hyperbole is highly excusable and our future is a highly open = question, existentially speaking.<o:p></o:p></span></p><p = class=3DMsoNormal><span = style=3D'font-size:11.0pt;font-family:"Calibri","sans-serif";color:#1F497= D'><o:p> </o:p></span></p><div><div = style=3D'border:none;border-top:solid #B5C4DF 1.0pt;padding:3.0pt 0cm = 0cm 0cm'><p class=3DMsoNormal><b><span lang=3DEN-US = style=3D'font-size:10.0pt;font-family:"Tahoma","sans-serif"'>From:</span>= </b><span lang=3DEN-US = style=3D'font-size:10.0pt;font-family:"Tahoma","sans-serif"'> = naturens-owner@chebucto.ns.ca [mailto:naturens-owner@chebucto.ns.ca] = <b>On Behalf Of </b>c p Ruggles<br><b>Sent:</b> September-02-14 2:05 = PM<br><b>To:</b> naturens@chebucto.ns.ca<br><b>Subject:</b> Re: = [NatureNS] Take a Moment for = Reflection<o:p></o:p></span></p></div></div><p = class=3DMsoNormal><o:p> </o:p></p><p class=3DMsoNormal>Thanks = Pat,<o:p></o:p></p><div><p = class=3DMsoNormal><o:p> </o:p></p></div><div><p = class=3DMsoNormal>Given the serious outcome I was forecasting my = hyperbole might be excused?
