      The annual publication of the students of W. R. Myers High School Taber, Alberta. (Volume 2013-2014)pdfW. R. Myers High School WO tho Welcome to Wherever You Are Graduation Ceremony ^^ ^^ Graduation Banauet 'Prinejbafs f^e&fress Johanna Kutanzi Ladies and Gentlemen, Good Morning! Welcome to the W.R. Myers High School Cap and Gown Ceremonies of 2014! I can’t believe how fast the year went, that I am once again standing in front of our graduating class - you are looking fine! I am happy that you are having this moment. I can’t believe the weather! Generally, on graduation day, our only complaint is that it is too hot - especially for the boys in their handsome suits later in the afternoon. Boys - we have good news ... Last Saturday, I was cleaning out the closet in my daughter’s room - and that, by the way, should be a job for someone who has done something desperately wrong and is being punished for some act! Anyway, we decided to take a break - go for a walk. It was snowing! The toques came out, the mitts should have come out - so, if we look on the up side of things, it is not snowing today! For the last two weeks or so, if I ran into someone and they know that I am connected to Myers, there was generally a comment along the line of, “Grad is coming up soon.” And so it was on Tuesday, as I took the kids for an evening haircut, that I ran into a dear friend. I was commenting that I had not yet written my speech for grad and that really all I want for the kids is for them to be happy and well. How do you turn that into a speech? And that truly is, speaking on behalf of the staff of W.R. Myers High School, our wish for you - be happy and be well. Now, if being happy and being well simply happened on their own, then I could just take my seat and wish everyone an outstanding day. That is not the case. It seems like everything takes at least a bit of work, and even something as seemingly simple as being happy and well, requires thought, time and attention. You have many journeys ahead of you - hopefully most will be joyful and exciting and some may, will be, difficult. Though it all, know yourself, treat yourself well and never sell yourself short - that would be such a shame. You know, and I know, that were Brett here today, and maybe he is, he would want only the very best for you - he would look at you with that convincing smile, that twinkle in his eye, maybe tilt his head a bit - and want you to be happy and well. Brett sat right in front of me in LA enrichment, probably because of his hearing he sat in the front in a lot of his classes, and I remember that look very well - usually there was a touch of mischief in there as well. I hope that you, our graduates, feel well-prepared to plan and navigate the next step of your journey. I hope that you will carry forward moments of pride, struggles that have turned into accomplishments, memories of giggles and giddiness, friendships and true and genuine value of who you are and all you contribute. I hope you remember, always, how important you are - to your family, to your friends and to yourself - there is tremendous value in you. And because of that you are wished a lifetime of being happy and well - of discovering and nurturing your talents, of committing to work or study that is meaningful to you, enjoying the moments as they present themselves, of loving and being loved. To all the parents today - how are you doing? Another milestone! I was at my daughter’s kindergarten Mother’s Day Tea on Wednesday - same daughter with the messy room! The tea was beautiful! Mrs. Anderson was kind enough to put together a video of moments throughout the kindergarten year - and the really good thing was that I found out I was not the only sap out there - the rest of the Moms were crying too, as we watched this video capture the moments of fun and growing up for our children. And I thought about you - the parents of our grade 12s - and the love you have for your children, the insane pride we have as parents and the bumps, hugs and hoorays along the way. I hope that you too enjoy this moment. Thank you so much for all you have done for your children along the way - kids need their parents and they could not have done it without you. And, Happy Mother’s Day! I want to end with one more story. Last Friday afternoon, I took some time to make sure I actually had something nice to wear for today. After shopping, I ran into a former parent and get an update on two of his children and a nephew as well (Jance, Alex and Tom are all doing well!) - we chat for a minute and continue on. Then I go to confirm my hair appointment for this morning - the kids that spend 200 days with me know that hair is not a big priority. Anyway, I run into Jenny Meyer and say to her, “Hey, your Mom was able to find something pretty for me to wear and now I am getting my hair - I’m set.” Without missing a beat, Jenny said, “This town will take care of you.” This town will take care of you - that is what we call home! Remember that you have a home, that you are valued in this community and your hometown, as represented by everyone who made it a priority to be here today, stands behind you, wanting you to be happy and well. Whether your next step takes you down the street, across the globe or somewhere in between (like PEI), please know that this is your home, you will always be Myers alumni and that we will always wish you well. As is customary, my final task is to introduce the class valedictorian. This year’s valedictorian has been a quiet and unassuming student, someone who goes about the work with a great deal of diligence and helpful curiousity. Over the four curiosityyers, there has been a consistent display of the most pleasant manners and the presence of a warm smile. And if you talk about farming, he really lights up! Ladies and Gentlemen, please welcome our valedictorian for the Class of 2014 - Ben Noble.^O J ^ l/a/ee&iforfan Ben Noble Good morning, well I’m glad that everyone was able to find the l-Rena. That’s exactly how we want to start Grad off with, 1000 tickets with arena spelt wrong. Right now all my teachers are going “Oh Ben, people in glass houses shouldn’t throw stones!” And they are right; I have no room to talk about spelling mistakes. In fact when my elementary school teachers find out that I am the valedictorian they will probably say “Well he must have finally learned how to spell!” The fact is I’m still working on that one! We learned a great deal since that start of our education 13 years ago, it is hard to fathom that we started out in kindergarten sitting on the floor learning that glue was not edible, I’m pretty sure Cole Nakamura learned that the hard way, and we began to slowly progress through the school hierarchy. We went from top dogs, to the bottom of the pile when we transferred to middle school. It was at middle school that many of us had our first slow dance and learned that the opposite gender was not really all that bad. We also learned that you can actually make too many posters. We looked on at the High school kids desiring to be more like them, thinking that they knew exactly what was going on. Then we became the high school kids and we learned that we were wrong, we didn’t actually have everything figured out automatically. In high school we learned the significance of a driver’s licence and the friends that it brought. We learned so very much at school, whether it was academic or life lessons, we always learned something new. And it was due to our teachers that we learned anything at all. I think that I speak for everyone when I say thank you to our teachers. I would personally like to thank the staff at W.R. Myers for your incredible dedication, and your commitment to your student’s education. Additionally I would like to thank you for your guidance, your friendship and the role you have played in our lives. Most importantly, I would like to thank our parents for their support, their tol§rance and their understanding; it cannot be easy to raise a teenager. Without parents and teachers, none of us would be who we are today, and none of us would be where we are today. I am honored to be chosen as your valedictorian, but it is also a great responsibility because I feel that I have the obligation to say something meaningful on the day that marks our transition from children to adults. Things are going to drastically change when June arrives, we are all aware of the challenges that we will face as we head out on our separate ways. Life will not always be simple or perfect; our class knows this better than most. It is with heavy hearts that we acknowledge one of us is not present today, and that person is Brett Forchuk, I do however believe that you would all agree that he is certainly with us today in spirit. Today is significant because it indicates that we are about to set out on diverging paths. Edmund Hillary once said that “It is not the mountain we conquer, but rather ourselves.” What he means by this quote is that when one sets out to accomplish a goal, it is not the physical obstacles we face that impede our success, but rather the limitations we place upon ourselves. Like climbing a mountain, life is going to require skills, tools and companions to achieve success. Before you are able to climb a mountain you must first educate yourself on the topography, and the climate of the mountain, you will need to train long before you are able to attempt to climb. You will need people to travel with, people who you are able to trust and depend on, this being said you will have to be trusted and depended on as well to reach the summit. Einstein said “Try not to become a man of success, but rather try to become a man of value.” I believe if you combined the two ideologies together, you would be able to conclude that it does not matter if you achieve your goal of reaching the summit if to do so you have to impair someone else’s journey. Your character is what will remain long after you have reached the apex. Sometimes you will need to be humble enough to allow your companion to lead rather than yourself because they know the path better than you do. And sometimes you will need to admit to yourself that you are not ready to continue the climb until you have rested. An individual is only as strong as their skills and their mindset allow them to be. So improve your skills and get in the right mindset because the only limitations you have are the ones that you allow to affect you. With that in mind climb a mountain, chase after your dreams because it is better to fail at something, than to succeed at doing nothing at all. Even if you don’t make it to the peak it doesn’t matter, because life is not about the destination it is about the journey. Go out into the world, conquer your own doubt, conquer adversity, turn your limitations into strengths, and climb your mountain. Congratulations, graduation class of 2014! I wish you all the best, God bless you, Thank you.

      A combined spectral and object-based approach to transparent cloud removal in an operational setting for Landsat ETM+

      The automated cloud cover assessment (ACCA) algorithm has provided automated estimates of cloud cover for the Landsat ETM+ mission since 2001. However, due to the lack of a band around 1.375 ?m, cloud edges and transparent clouds such as cirrus cannot be detected. Use of Landsat ETM+ imagery for terrestrial land analysis is further hampered by the relatively long revisit period due to a nadir only viewing sensor. In this study, the ACCA threshold parameters were altered to minimise omission errors in the cloud masks. Object-based analysis was used to reduce the commission errors from the extended cloud filters. The method resulted in the removal of optically thin cirrus cloud and cloud edges which are often missed by other methods in sub-tropical areas. Although not fully automated, the principles of the method developed here provide an opportunity for using otherwise sub-optimal or completely unusable Landsat ETM+ imagery for operational applications. Where specific images are required for particular research goals the method can be used to remove cloud and transparent cloud helping to reduce bias in subsequent land cover classification

      Predicting socioeconomic conditions from satellite sensor data in rural developing countries: a case study using female literacy in Assam, India

      Social data from census and household surveys provide key information for monitoring the status of populations, but the data utility can be limited by temporal gaps between surveys. Recent studies have pointed to the potential for remotely sensed satellite sensor data to be used as proxies for social data. Such an approach could provide valuable information for the monitoring of populations between enumeration periods. Field observations in Assam, north-east India suggested that socioeconomic conditions could be related to patterns in the type and abundance of local land cover dynamics prompting the development of a more formal approach. This research tested if environmental data derived from remotely sensed satellite sensor data could be used to predict a socioeconomic outcome using a generalised autoregressive error (GARerr) model. The proportion of female literacy from the 2001 Indian National Census was used as an indicator of socioeconomic conditions. A significant positive correlation was found with woodland and a significant negative correlation with winter cropland (i.e., additional cropping beyond the normal cropping season). The dependence of female literacy on distance to nearest road was very small. The GARerr model reduced residual spatial autocorrelation and revealed that the logistic regression model over-estimated the significance of the explanatory covariates. The results are promising, while also revealing the complexities of population–environment interactions in rural, developing world contexts. Further research should explore the prediction of socioeconomic conditions using fine spatial resolution satellite sensor data and methods that can account for such complexities.<br/

      Relationships are often found between socio-economic variables and environmental factors for relatively small study regions. This research forms an exploratory data analysis using logistic regression to explore the (non-causal) relationships between socio-economic variables from a national census (female literacy and involvement in economic alternatives to agricultural work) and environmental metrics extracted from Earth observation (EO) data. The relationships observed often supported those found in the literature and field observations. The research highlighted the limited but potentially valuable use of EO data for monitoring socio-economic conditions which may be used to target development assistance in the future.<br/
