Bunkers and bomb shelters are constructed using the best structural metals and plate steel available on the market today. Because of this, unlike many of our rivals' competitors' shelters, the entire underground shelter is incredibly solid and sturdy. No matter how or where pressure is exerted, the steel exoskeleton frame employed in our designs gives the structure a significant boost in strength while evenly distributing weight and pressure. These bunkers won't crumble under pressure or as a result of unanticipated changes in the soil, and there is no likelihood that they have a structural "weak spot." So if you are interested to protect your family against Mother Nature. Because one day something will hit the fan would you be ready??

Carleton University Project Clearance
Clearance #: 117926 Date of Clearance: November 28, 2022
Volunteers needed for Couples Intimacy Study
We are looking for volunteers for a study examining physiological arousal during romantic couples’ conversations about sexual or relationship intimacy. Specifically, we want to examine differences in the quality of physiological arousal people exhibit when they discuss positive aspects of either sexual or relationship intimacy. Participants will receive an honorarium of $20.00 cash for participating and reimbursement for parking or bus fare, if needed. The study takes place at the Carleton University Social Psychophysiology (CUSP) Lab (Rooms A501 and A507 of the Loeb Building).
First, you will be asked to complete a brief online questionnaire to determine your eligibility to participate. Couples who are eligible will be asked to complete additional online surveys about their demographics, personality traits, and other related questions. Then, couples will come into our lab to talk about sexual or relationship intimacy while we continuously record their heart rate, thoracic blood flow, blood pressure, respiration rate, and electrodermal activity. Participants will be audio-recorded as they complete the study. We will also ask participants to complete questionnaires about their health and personal and relationship well-being. After discussing sexual or relationship intimacy participants will sit for a physiological recovery period. They will then be debriefed and compensated.
To ensure accurate physiological readings, if possible, please refrain from consuming any stimulants or depressants in the 24 hours prior to coming to our lab (i.e., alcohol, caffeine, marijuana, nicotine, or other controlled substances). At least 4 hours prior to the start of the session, please refrain from engaging in any physical exercise.
Please note: Electrode placement requires that experimenters come into physical contact with participants, and, in most cases, participants will be required to adjust or remove their outer clothing during electrode placement. We kindly ask that participants do not wear dresses, skirts, or shirts with large collars (e.g., turtleneck sweaters). This will ensure both maximum comfort for the participant and will ensure that we can collect high-quality data. Should a participant choose to remove their outer clothing for any of the above reasons, they will be offered a hairdresser’s apron to wear to ensure their privacy. At no point will a participant be asked to remove their undergarments.
To be eligible, you must be at least 18 years old, in a romantic relationship of six months or longer, and both partners of that relationship will need to consent to participate in the study together. Recruitment will allow for the inclusion of both heteronormative and same-sex couples. Given that this is a psychophysiological study, there are some eligibility requirements that apply: (1) they must not have been diagnosed with a cardiovascular disease such as hypertension or a heart murmur; (2) they must not have a pacemaker; and (3) they must not be pregnant or think they might be pregnant.
The study will take place on campus at Carleton University (Loeb Building, rooms A501 and A507) and should take approximately 2 hours to complete.
If you are interested, please email sexpositivestudy@protonmail.com for more details on participating.
This research has been cleared by Carleton University Research Ethics Board B Clearance # 117926.
Should you have any ethical concerns with the study, please contact the REB Chair, Carleton University Research Ethics Board-B (by phone: 613-520-2600 ext. 4085 or by email: ethics@carleton.ca). For all other questions about the study, please contact the researcher.

Dear friends,
I hope this message finds you well.
We are planning, organizing, and hosting a “Rock Out For Jack” fundraising event for our son and brother, Jack. And we would love to share our storied journey with you.
Jack was born with several severe disabilities and life-limiting conditions. He requires around-the-clock nursing care. His mom hasn't been able to work since Jack was born, as she is Jack's primary nurse. And his dad is battling guarded, high-risk cancer. The family is without private insurance; the costs of little Jack’s life sustaining medical supplies alone (tracheostomy & enteral feeding) are astronomical.
Jack is a young Stittsville boy who was born with CHARGE Syndrome; a rare and life-limiting disorder that arises during early fetal development & affects multiple organ systems. Jack is Tracheostomy dependent, has a feeding tube insertion and is deaf-with vision impairment. He has had 20 surgeries to date (#21 coming soon). Jack has had numerous admissions to CHEO totaling over 2 years, and he also requires 24-hour nursing care. Jack was subsequently diagnosed with severe autism and continues to battle epilepsy…at one point over 100 visible seizures daily were common.
Our fundraising endeavour, ROCK OUT 4 JACK Party & Silent Auction/Guitar Raffle Finale, will take place on Saturday September 26th, 2020, at Yuk Yuk’s Comedy Club on Elgin Street here in Ottawa.
https://www.facebook.com/events/550961889082499/Jack’s Silent Auction is hosted by his “Rock Out For Jack” page.
All donors will be gratefully acknowledged on this public event, and a link to social channels and website and website will also be incorporated.
https://www.facebook.com/rockoutforjack/(We would be honoured if you were to follow Jack’s journey with us, by liking his page.)
We are also planning to host a spring-time auction - for summer fun items - in support of Jack, and we would be so thankful and would appreciate and welcome your sponsorship.
(We would be honoured if you were to follow Jack’s journey with us, by liking his page.)
We would be ever so thankful if you were able to kindly support our family, with a
gift-in-kind donation for our silent auctions.You are our hope, by rallying around Jack and his quality of life. We are grateful to every thoughtful donor that chooses to contribute to his baby steps and mini miracles. We would be very appreciative if you are able to kindly share Jack’s journey with your family, friends, colleagues, and clients, alongside social media channels such as Facebook, Instagram, WhatsApp, and Twitter.
You can learn more about Jack’s journey on our newly launched website:
www.rockout4jack.orgWe also have a GoFundMe link available:
www.gofundme.com/jackbrownI have attached Jack’s fundraising letter and event flyer for your perusal.
If you have any questions, comments, or concerns please reach out to me at your convenience. I will be more than happy to answer.

Rock Out For Jack Fundraiser
& Silent Auction
Dear Friends,I am writing to you on behalf of my 10-year-old brother and my Dad. I would love to share our storied journey with you.
Jack was born in June of 2009 with many severe disabilities and life-limiting conditions. He is medically fragile and requires 24-hour nursing care. Jack was born with an uncommon syndrome named CHARGE. This syndrome is the leading cause of blind-deafness in children. Jack is deaf, with some vision impairment. He has a tracheostomy and a feeding tube. And he is mostly confined to a wheelchair (although he took his first unassisted steps recently at school (we never knew if Jack would ever be able to walk). Jack was also recently diagnosed with severe autism; less than the first percentile. We have never heard Jack’s voice. I cannot wait for the day I hear his first words. We’ve never been able to snuggle with Jack at night. He is hooked up to 4 machines periodically throughout the night. Jack’s mom has not been employable since Jack’s birth as she is not only his mom, but his nurse who has been trained by the staff at CHEO to care for Jack and to use life-saving measures if necessary.
Jack was admitted to CHEO on March 28th for his 20th surgery. He has unfortunately spent over 2 years at CHEO altogether. CHEO has been like a 2nd home for our family.
Exactly 3 months after Jack was born my dad was diagnosed with guarded, high risk Melanoma, with a 6-month prognosis. Jack was during a 3-month hospital stay when Dad was diagnosed. Since both his mom and dad were trained to care for Jack, they split 24 hour rotating shifts at his bedside. That was the toughest, most emotional few months that we have ever endured. My dad tried not to break down as he held Jack, but knowing he would grow up without a father was too much to grasp. The CHEO team saw our emotional struggles and set us up with a social worker at the hospital. We’ve been met with love and compassion throughout our entire experience with CHEO.
My dad remained in hospital for 3 weeks after his first surgery. The good thing was that the 2 hospitals were connected by a tunnel. Jack’s mom spent her days running back and forth between the two hospitals.
Recently my dad was hit with a major depression disorder (Doctors expected it to happen much sooner). Walking on eggshells with his health and his son’s fragilities, the recent passing of his father, added pressure at work, and a marital breakdown with Jack’s mom resulted in a significant decline in his mental health. On a positive note, the duration Dad has remained at home helped him develop a bond with Jack that is much stronger than we could ever pray for. He has truly enjoyed being a stay-at-home dad for this exact reason. Unfortunately, Dad has had to resign from work as a result of the physical and emotional scars left behind by cancer, which left him broken, beat, and scarred. Unfortunately, he will never be in remission, but he made a promise to us that he will continue to fight!
Because of dad’s illness, and mom being Jack’s full-time nurse, they are without private insurance. Although there is some support from government affiliated agencies, the out-of-pocket expenses for Jack’s care are astronomical. Life sustaining supplies and equipment (tracheostomy & enteral feeding supplies) are roughly $34,000/year and incontinence supplies are $5,400, which is a portion of the cost of raising a medically fragile child. Although Jack still faces a morbidity/mortality rate he continues to enjoy life with enthusiasm.
To our friends, we are graciously hoping for your support for
this upcoming benefit fundraiser for Jack,
and we are gratefully accepting gifts in-kind to benefit Jack’s silent auction.If you have any questions, comments or concerns please feel free to contact me at your convenience.
Thank you for reading.

St. Alban's Church in Ottawa has started the "St. Alban's Online Homework Club" and the "Club De Devoirs En Linge St-Bernard" for French and English speaking students in grades 1 through 12! There will be no charge for the students to participate in this program; it will be offered to those who need help with schoolwork and have financial limitations.
We are using the zoom platform to tutor students in any subject they need or desire (in French and/or English), and our coordinator Scott can match you up based on your interest and abilities! No tutoring experience is necessary. Sessions can be scheduled for the length of time, time of day, frequency, and day of the week that is convenient for the tutor and the student!
You do not need to be a Christian or be affiliated with a church in order to volunteer. Volunteers will need a criminal records check but are free to discuss that and the application process with our coordinator Scott. If you are interested or have questions, please don't hesitate to contact him at scott@stalbanschurch.ca. We look forward to hearing from you!
