ABSTRACT: Exploration of the vascular plant flora of the Canadian Arctic has been ongoing for almost two hundred years, yet substantial gaps remain in our floristic understanding of this large, rapidly changing and difficult-to-access ecozone. Detailed baseline information on thediversity and distribution of Arctic plants is urgently needed to understand the potential impacts of climate change on the region’s flora. In July 2014 we explored the rich flora along a Subarctic to Arctic gradient along the Coppermine River valley in western Nunavut, including Bloody Falls/Kugluk Territorial Park and Kugluktuk and vicinity. In this botanically underexplored area the treeline reaches its northern limit in Nunavut, just 40 km south of the Arctic coast. Study of our >1000 new and all previous collections of vascular plants document some 304 species in the area, comprising a mixture of boreal taxa (most at their northern limit), Arctic taxa (some at their southern limit), and amphi-Beringian taxa (some at their eastern limit). Among our collections are many first records for Nunavut (Allium schoenoprasum, Botrychium tunux, Draba lonchocarpa, Eleocharis quinqueflora, Eremogone capillaris subsp. capillaris, Festuca altaica, Polygonum aviculare, Salix ovalifolia var. arctolitoralis, S. ovalifolia var. ovalifolia, Stuckenia pectinata), mainland Nunavut (Carex gynocrates, C. livida, Cryptogramma stelleri, Juncus alpinoarticulatus subsp. americanus, Salix pseudomyrsinites), numerous northern and southern range extensions for boreal and Arctic species (Anthoxanthum arcticum, Arctostaphylos uva-ursi, Betula occidentalis, Carex adelostoma, C. capitata, C. lachenallii, C. norvegica, C. petricosa subsp. petricosa, Castilleja raupii, Draba simmonsii, Epilobium arcticum, E. davuricum, Festuca viviparoidea subsp. viviparoidea, Hordeum jubatum subsp. intermedium, Juniperus communis subsp. depressa, Linnaea borealis subsp. americana, Potamogeton gramineus, Rubus arcticus subsp. acaulis, Sagina nodosa subsp. borealis, Stellaria borealis subsp. borealis, Shepherdia canadensis, Taraxacum phymatocarpum, Utricularia intermedia, U. vulgaris) and many first records for the study area, which fill in gaps in the known distributions of Arctic species. Several species in the area reach their known northern limits in Nunavut in Kugluk/Bloody Falls Territorial Park, a protected site. The many floristic novelties identified for the study area underscore the fact that there remains much to learn about vascular plant biodiversity in Canada's low Arctic.
8 reasons why walking is great for your healthVikas Gupta
Walking is a low-impact exercise that provides many health benefits. It can help reduce the risk of heart disease, diabetes, and some cancers. Regular walking can also improve mood, aid weight control, and reduce stress and anxiety.
10 simple home remedies for cracked heelsVikas Gupta
Cracked heels can be painful and embarrassing. Applying moisturizing creams and wearing socks at night can help treat cracked heels. Exfoliating dead skin with a pumice stone in the shower also helps cracked heels heal by removing dry, flaky skin and allowing moisturizers to better penetrate deeper layers of skin.
El documento define el conflicto como una divergencia de intereses entre dos o más partes que perciben que sus aspiraciones actuales no pueden satisfacerse simultáneamente. Explica que existen conflictos funcionales y disfuncionales, siendo los primeros aquellos que mejoran el desempeño de las partes y los segundos los que afectan negativamente las relaciones. Finalmente, describe cinco estilos para abordar los conflictos: competitivo, complaciente, evasivo, colaborador y de compromiso.

The document discusses the role of natural history collections at the Canadian Museum of Nature in documenting biological and geological diversity in the Arctic. It describes the museum's large Arctic collections, which include over 260,000 specimens collected during early Arctic expeditions. The collections provide data for research in fields like Arctic botany, zoology, and paleontology. Efforts are underway to digitize the collections and make records available online through databases, but many specimens remain undigitized. The museum aims to crowdsource digitization and work with other Arctic institutions to better document and share Arctic biodiversity data.

The document summarizes the vision and initiatives of the West Vancouver School District under Superintendent Chris Kennedy. It discusses the district's focus on 21st century skills, personalized learning, and using technology like mobile devices to enhance learning. It also emphasizes supporting teachers with professional development and creating a culture where students can learn anywhere using digital tools.
