JAMES WILLIAM KERR (1936–2017)
In an obituary of James William Kerr who died in 2017 is presented. Bill was raised in Coleman, in the Crowsnest Pass area of the southern Alberta Rocky Mountains, and it remained his spiritual home. Bill went to the University of Alberta in Edmonton to study geology. In 1955, while still an undergraduate, he signed on as an assistant on the Geological Survey of Canada's Operation Franklin, a pioneering, air-supported reconnaissance of the Queen Elizabeth Islands in the far north of what is now Nunavut. Bill went on to graduate study at Columbia University, where his PhD thesis advisor was Marshall Kay. Bill's thesis was a study of the stratigraphy and structure of a Paleozoic terrane in northern Nevada. He was awarded his doctorate in 1960, when he was barely 24 years old.
Arnold James (Moose) Kerr (1921–2008)
He put aside those interests in 1942, however, to enlist in the rCAF. Before embarking for Britain, moose married eleanor robinson; she had recently returned from Japan, where her parents had lived and worked as Anglican missionaries. shortly before his twin daughters were born, moose was posted to Bomber Command's 128 squadron, and he flew over 30 operations as a Mosquito navigator before the war's end. He did not speak often or easily about his wartime experiences. When he did, he made no secret of the terror of some of these operations. nor did he conceal his discomfort, as a Canadian serviceman, with the conventions and attitudes he encountered in the culture of Britain's rAF. He had always been antipathetic to hierarchy and inequality, and he found himself at times sharply antagonistic to the way the lower ranks were expected to accept the conceits of the upper. He refused a commission upon graduation and later remarked that he was perfectly happy to have ended the war with the same rank at which he had started it. [Moose] greatly admired the people of Aklavik and respected their way of life, their languages, and especially the knowledge and stories of the old-timers. He also valued the informality, warmth, and egalitarianism, and the absence of bureaucracy and hierarchy that typified the community in those years. so when the northern Administration decided in the mid-1950s to introduce the delta to modernity by moving the town of Aklavik to a new site on firm ground on the east side of the Delta, he readily engaged in the \"resistance movement\" and became its non-aboriginal leader. moose counseled: \"never say die.\" That is still the motto of the moose Kerr Aklavik school, so named in his honour in 1969. These were, by his own account, the best years of his life. He maintained contact with the school long after he left, and he held on to the memory of those rich, intense times in the north when both the place and his role in that place made every kind of sense to him. He is remembered for his innovative approach to education, which incorporated local knowledge, culture, and language. For much of his life, moose was engaged with questions of education-as a student, teacher, principal, and ultimately a leader and mentor. He was an instinctive radical, quick to see and oppose parochialism and elitism of any kind and keen to find new ways of thinking about both the history and the possibilities of educational systems. As he grew older and ever more exposed to the difficulties that obstructed the kinds of vision and change he was drawn toward, he sustained his radical critique. Informed as they came to be by a certain cynicism, inevitable perhaps for anyone so deep within the day-to-day realities of public service, moose's ideals never yielded. To the last days of his life, he was reading, thinking and, whenever opportunity arose, urging the causes of human rights and social justice. A man of socialist convictions and anarchist inclinations, moose also had a conservative streak, a deep respect for the old ways, reflected for example, in the reverence for wood he brought to his workshop at home. All of these tendencies gave rise to his profound doubts about the status quo and his concern to reconceive the very foundations of the social and economic system he lived within. In these ways, moose's was a lively and original mind; he was always a delight to sit and talk with. none who knew him well will forget his long and detailed recollections of people and times he had known during his days in the Arctic, told with a great sense of pleasure and without a trace of malice. moose had known considerable professional adversity and disappointment, but was too philosophical and generous to hold grudges.
Orange County Choppers Selects BOXX as its Official Design and Multimedia Hardware
At only 4.7 inches wide, 8.5 inches tall, and 9.0 inches deep, [Jason Pohl]'s liquid-cooled APEXX 1 features an eight-core, Intel Core i7 processor safely overclocked to 4.125 GHz. The APEXX 1 product line also includes a model equipped with a four-core, Intel Core i7 processor overclocked to 4.4 GHz, as well as an Intel Xeon E5 processor edition with up to eighteen cores. Pohl's system features an NVIDIA Quadro K1200 graphics card, making it perfect for his Autodesk Fusion 360 and 3ds Max design workflow. APEXX 1 is also an ideal hardware solution for Dassault Systmes SOLIDWORKS, Autodesk Revit, and other professional 3D applications. A proponent of The BOXX Workflow, Pohl relies on the BOXX renderPRO 1 (running V-Ray 3.3) for his production renders. By offloading his rendering to the dedicated render node, he frees his workstation for design, thereby accelerating his workflow.

Red Roo hops into the north
Selecting Brisbane was the obvious choice, according to Red Roo Managing Director James Kerr. \"The city of Brisbane is the centre of the South East Queensland community,\" Mr Kerr said.
One captain, 15 leaders - and other lessons from the All Blacks
He admits that this management speak can sound \"pink and fluffy\" but that the All Blacks' transformation is based in a \"very powerful sense of being a team\" and \"forming a close community\" that is determined to leave the \"jersey in a better place\". The book has reportedly been studied by several top-flight Premier League managers, who admire the team's success in passing responsibility from the coach to the whole team, reflecting a move in elite sport away from micro-management and theatrical rage from coaches. It even includes a recommendation from England coach Stuart Lancaster, who advises all those \"involved in high-performance teams in sport\" to read it, though it is unclear if he made the England team \"sweep the sheds\" like the All Blacks who all help clean the dressing room after every match. And it has to be said that Lancaster's England notably underperformed at this year's tournament. It's in the bonus-driven world of business that the All Blacks' approach has the most to offer though, [James Kerr] said. \"All businesses are at their heart human businesses and we know that people who work in agile teams in which they are trust and empowered perform better. That's the case with the All Blacks who have one captain but 15 leaders. Self-directed teams like this are vital in business.\"
Misconduct claims
On another he allegedly told the man that he was a \"big fat c***\" who needed to \"go on a diet\". [James Kerr] is also alleged to have turned up the volume on the man's television so that he could not be heard shouting \"and in doing so placed AA at risk of harm\". he was charged with making inappropriate comments to a night shift colleague, in that he alledgedly stated: \"It's been an easy day, I've just let them two get on with it\", referring to colleagues.
