Among Líĺwat people of the Interior Plateau of British Columbia, an oral tradition relays how early ancestors used to ascend Qẃelqẃelústen, or Mount Meager. The account maintains that those climbers could see the ocean, which is not the case today, because the mountain is surrounded by many other high peaks, and the Strait of Georgia is several mountain ridges to the west. However, the mountain is an active and volatile volcano, which last erupted circa 2360 cal BP. It is also the site of the largest landslide in Canadian history, which occurred in 2010. Given that it had been a high, glacier-capped mountain throughout the Holocene, much like other volcanoes along the coastal range, we surmise that a climber may have reasonably been afforded a view of the ocean from its prior heights. We conducted viewshed analyses of the potential mountain height prior to its eruption and determined that one could indeed view the ocean if the mountain were at least 950 m higher than it is today. This aligns with the oral tradition, indicating that it may be over 2,400 years old, and plausibly in the range of 4,000 to 9,000 years old when the mountain may have been at such a height.

Many academic library users, particularly incoming college freshmen, are unsure about what the library offers, how it is useful, where they can receive assistance. A library guide or handbook, if designed to appear interesting and relevant to students, can address these issues. This article examines the creation, distribution, and assessment of a library survival guide given to incoming college freshmen. The goal of the guide was to decrease library anxiety and familiarize new students with library resources and services. Results and revisions of future editions of the guide are also discussed.

he demands, rigors, and expectations of college research can often leave incoming freshmen feeling overwhelmed because they are not aware of the services available at the library. Libraries are undergoing a metamorphosis that is bewildering at times to librarians and library users alike. As libraries gradually transform from information warehouses into a third space for collaboration and learning, perhaps it is understandable that library users are unaware of the vast array of resources and services encompassed by the word library. In many libraries, quiet rooms have been replaced by collaborative workspace, laptops and projectors check out alongside books, and databases have invisibly expanded information access to the smartphone in each student's pocket. All libraries struggle to reach patrons who do not ask for help, do not know they need help, and are unaware of the services available to them. While librarians devise and provide innumerable instruction classes and helpful Web sites, a print guide can reach those too anxious to approach with questions.

Just as there are regulations on the volatile organic compounds (VOCs) in paints, there are regulations that apply to spray equipment. South Coast Air Quality Management District (SCAQMD) is one of the leading agencies that focuses on spray equipment testing and approvals. [...]the late 1990s, painters had used a mixed bag of both conventional and HVLP spray gun technologies. When compared to the more conventional spray guns, the HVLP spray guns were slower, felt choked for material and really had a negative market reputation.

Among the Coast Salish of the Lower Fraser River Watershed and its tributaries, as elsewhere on the Northwest Coast, the built environment was fundamental to cultural expression. The construction and continued maintenance of houses in particular, both informed and reflected the social identity of households. For this study, we excavated the remains of a small, isolated pithouse in the Harrison River Valley, the traditional territory of the Chehalis (Sts'ailes) Coast Salish where evidence of two occupations, spanning almost 300 years, reflected a long-term connection to place. For the purpose of this paper, we link the spatial and temporal data of our archaeological investigation to insights gained from regional ethnographic sources and local indigenous knowledge. Taken together, these lines of evidence allowed us to make inferences about the identities of the pithouse occupants and to recognize the importance of the built environment as a vehicle for communicating social relations. Chez les Salish de la côte, vivant dans le bassin versant de l'estuaire de la rivière Fraser et de ses affluents, comme ailleurs sur la côte du Nord-Ouest, l'environnement bâti était une composante fondamentale de l'expression culturelle. La construction et l'entretien continu des maisons, en particulier, représentaient à la fois une inspiration et un reflet de l'identité sociale de leurs occupants. Dans le cadre de cette étude, nous avons fouillé les vestiges d'une petite maison semi souterraine et isolée dans la vallée de la rivière Harrison, territoire traditionnel des Chehalis (Sts'ailes) — Salish de la côte - où l'on a découvert des traces d'occupation de deux maisons principales semi souterraines sur une durée de près de 300 ans, ce qui indique une connexion à long terme avec le lieu. Aux fins de cet article, nous établissons un lien entre les données spatiales et temporelles de notre recherche archéologique et les indications que nous ont fourni les sources ethnographiques régionales et le savoir autochtone local. Rassemblés, ces faisceaux d'indices nous permettent d'inférer un certain nombre de choses sur l'identité des occupants de ces maisons semi souterraines et de reconnaître l'importance de l'environnement bâti en tant que véhicule de communication pour les relations sociales.

Because they are cured with light, the product must have a decent amount of transparency to allow the light to travel to the bottom of the film. * UV products still have solvent that will need to evaporate out of the film during flash times and the curing cycle. * Due to the footprint on the UV curing light, UV products are typically focused on small, spot-priming repairs. How equipment differs from traditional primer surfacers The application process for UV primers is not too far from what we would consider standard; however, I strongly suggest reading your paint supplier's technical data sheet. Since UV products are photochemically reactive, which means they begin to cure as soon as they are exposed to natural daylight, it is important to use an opaque spray gun cup.

Houses were fundamental to cultural expression among Coast Salish groups in the Lower Fraser River Watershed and its tributaries, including the Harrison Watershed. The construction and continued maintenance of the built environment of houses served to inform and reflect a household's social identity. The complete excavation of a small, isolated pithouse in the Harrison River Valley, the traditional territory of the Chehalis (Sts’ailes), showed two main occupations spanning almost 300 years, suggesting a longterm connection to place. Using concepts derived from Amos Rapoport’s work in Environment-Behaviour Studies to link archaeological data associated with the successive occupations to insights gained from ethnographic sources and local oral history, resulted in interpretations of the occupants’ social identities and their connection to the Sts’ailes of today. The archaeological record of this one site exemplifies both the fluid nature of identity and the continuous relationship to place rooted in Sts’ailes oral traditions.
