Die-in on Wednesday, September 22, 5:30 p.m., at Phillips Square.

Alive without my car!

Montréal, Monday, September 13, 2010 – On Wednesday, September 22, 2010, for World Carfree Day, the Montréal à Vélo Collective is organizing a Die-in to condemn the violence caused by the pervasiveness of car culture in our society. Starting at 5:30 p.m., hundreds of people will come together at the corner of St. Catherine and Union to illustrate the worst result of the domination of car culture: death.

Every month, more names are added to the automobile’s list of victims. In 2009, the Société d’assurance automobile du Québec reported 2253 people seriously injured and 515 deaths due to automobile accidents in Québec alone. That’s not to mention the victims of cardiac and respiratory disease caused by automobile-created air pollution.

“Merely encouraging walking and cycling is not enough,” says Fannie Dulude, from the organizing committee, “As long as provincial and municipal authorities don’t show a clear political commitment to reduce the space allotted to automobiles in cities, pedestrians and cyclists will continue to be at risk of dying.”

A Die-in is a symbolic, theatrical event. Participants are invited to pretend to be injured or dead, in order to demand a chance at life without cars!

Plated Pieces

Plating or coating is very common these days and is used in almost every field and industry whether it be auto industry, space products, electronics, home appliances, kitchen products, machinery, production plants or any other. Importantly, there are lots of different kinds of plating available today and scientists are still looking for more metal plating techniques and methods. Almost every kind of plating is used in a single product that reaches us ranging from nickel plated products to gold plated circuits and others.

We all know that everything we use is plated or coated with another material, but why we need to plate (or coat) products? Can’t manufacturers and engineers supply products in their original shape without plating them? Most of us never see the original shape of metals and materials that we use throughout our life like iron, zinc, gold and others.

Well, it is for sure that we cannot use most of the metals without coating because there are many metals that cannot exist alone with reacting with any other material (or metal or chemical). Naturally most of the metals cannot be shaped due to their chemical or physical properties, for instance gold. Gold cannot be used in jewelry items in its original form because it’s very flexible and cannot be shaped without adding some other solid material in it. Similarly, most of the metals are too reactive that they instantly react with atmospheric chemicals when left in open air. So to keep such metals safe from chemical reactions, we use plating.

Metals that are too reactive are usually plated with a non-reactive or less reactive metal. So when a highly reactive metal is coated with a non-reactive metal, it is no longer exposed to open air and thus can be kept safe from reactions.

Plating was originally used to keep metals and materials safe from wear and tear. Also to increase the life of the metal and to keep it safe from chemical reactions, plating was used. But today, plating is serving a wide range of purposes in different industries. No matter for what purpose we use plating, one thing is for sure that plating has made our lives very easy and simple.

You can source out different types of baby clothing depending on the kind of fabric. You can also decide if you want to market commercially produced baby clothes or organic baby clothing. Your decision will largely depend on the kind of customers that you will have. There is surely a ready market for commercially made clothing wherever your base of operation is. Nevertheless, you can always create a market for organic baby clothing. You will find that this type of clothing is not hard to sell.
