傣族舞蹈，为泼水节更增民族色彩。
这是什么节目？原来是一旁聚会的菲律宾人在玩抬花轿游戏。不知有什么寓意讲究？
四壮汉抬着花轿喊着号子一步一颠左摇右晃地迈步向前。旁边的人跟着节奏一起扭。
总之现场热闹得很哪！

回复: 我来说说加拿大的"热动工程师” power engineer
请问，UBC大学的 Electrical Engineering 专业在进入三年级时有个Option，就是Electrical Energy Systems ，这个是不是就是power engineer呢？进这个挺难进的呀，我知道去年才从二年级学生中按成绩收了30人。这么费劲地从UBC读完Electrical Energy，毕业了去做技工有点难接受呢。我是一知半解的妈妈，儿子立志要在三年级时进Electrical Energy Systems，这个行业在BC省找工前景好吗？谢谢。

你这当妈的，最好到学校的专业网站里去看看原版的专业描述，那是正宗答案。我的理解是这个专业是培养注册工程师的，因为有degree。负责发电及其电力系统维护，设计，出运行方案的。和power engieer截然不同，因为我们是按照方案负责运行电力系统的，是licensed trades。两条不同的道路。
另外感觉，你这当妈的，说话很奇怪，怎么当技工就难以接受？从收入到工作稳定性上来讲，技工非常好。
油砂的3级以上power engineer一年收入近20万，比专业engineer高接近一倍。很多后者想进入前者，却不可能。

我在48楼曾经专门谈过两者的区别，不过很多人还是搞混，看来有些省份不采用对负责热力带压设备的运行人员称之为power engineer 还是有道理的。
Winnieip 网友的儿子有智慧、有志向、有决心，我也觉得应该做专业工程师，不该做技工。技工有一个好的单位固然挣钱也不差，但真正能为社会做更大贡献、实现自我价值的可能性不大，尤其是创新性工作。如果我们的下一代没了梦想，没了冲劲，那真是很悲哀的事。UBC 电专业毕业的学生就业主要是在 BC Hydro。几年前曾与BC Hydro一位负责培训的经理有过接触，他说未来十年由于人员退休造成的电力工程师短缺是他们面临的最大挑战之一，不知现在是否有所改观。
实际上电力系统还是有不少令人兴奋的领域。比如说大规模新能源如燃料电池、潮汐发电、地热发电、太阳能的开发与应用，现有电力系统中风电厂的系统接入、[FONT="]Smart[/FONT]电网、远程设备状态检测与诊断、电网动态分析与控制等。更前沿的纳米技术应用、电能储存技术、电动汽车、生物发电、超导或无线输电等。有一个加拿大大学正在研究一种新型涂料。这种涂料刷在墙面上后会形成无数微小光伏电池，其产生的总电能可以满足该建筑的用电需求。电力科技的发展是无止境的，而这些只能寄希望于年轻一代。
电老虎网友[FONT="]“[/FONT]因为我们是按照方案负责运行电力系统的，是[FONT="]licensed trades[/FONT]。[FONT="]”[/FONT]的说法并不十分准确。电力系统的绝大部分运行与热动工程师实际上没有关系，热动工程师只可能运行热电厂（[FONT="]Thermal power plants[/FONT]），不管是烧煤、烧天然气、垃圾、化工尾料抑或是核反应堆，烧木屑，沼气、甘蔗渣等，总之是有产生热的原料并有一定压力的设备。如果是风电、水电、潮汐发电等就不需要热动工程师。发电以后的输配电运行热动工程师就更沾不上边了。[FONT="]2[/FONT]年前曾经看到[FONT="] BC Hydro[/FONT]招收水电站培训生的广告，他们是从高中生中选拔和培养的。[FONT="]5[/FONT]、[FONT="]6[/FONT]年前[FONT="] Hydro one [/FONT]招收的电力输配电系统运行人员基本要求也是高中生，但是我估计一些接受过社区学院电力课程的学生更有竞争力。这些运行人员没有加拿大统一的证书，以前只是需要满足各公司自己认可的培训和要求。但现在在一定的时间段内必须获得NERC的相关证书。
我曾经有机会参观过[FONT="]Hydro One 2005[/FONT]年全面投运的位于[FONT="]Barrie[/FONT]的安省电网控制中心。这是一个集电网运方、检修计划、调度、远方状态监控和设备诊断、数据采集等功能为一体的建筑，其中心控制室的规模和相关配套设施是任何石油公司和电厂控制室无法比拟的，猛看上去更象航天发射控制中心。你可以从以下链接获得一些大概印象：[FONT="][ame]http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=mdFOYU_qs8s[/ame][/FONT]
类似这样的控制中心，各省都有，只是没这么新、现代。亚省由于电力改革，发、供电公司较多，相应的控制室也多，主要有负责输电系统的[FONT="]Altalink[/FONT]在卡尔加里的控制中心，[FONT="]ATCO[/FONT] 在[FONT="]Vegreville[/FONT]、Epcor 在埃德蒙顿、Enmax 在卡尔加里 的系统控制中心等。
亚省电力改革后发、输、供全部分开，在卡尔加里新成立了一个省一级的竞价上网交易和电网运营公司AESO（Alberta Electrical System Operator）。在安省，电力改革做到了发、输供分开，因此在多伦多也有类似的一个IESO (The Independent Electricity System Operator)。以上两家的中心控制室我也曾参观过，很是气派漂亮。911纽约世贸大楼恐怖袭击和 2003年8.14 大停电后，电网的可靠性和安全性被提到了新的高度。北美电力可靠性协会NERC 的各种自愿性规章制度变成了强制性的，各电网关键部门的安保措施也大为加强。现在这两个中心的位置都变成了保密的，而且一般人没有可能参观了。这里的电力系统运行值班员（controller）与热动没有任何关系。

彩灯节
一到夏天，温哥华的各种节日多得数不清。去年没空去看的彩灯节，今年补上了。看后的观感不能说是“不去后悔”，但绝对是“值得一去”。
特劳特湖公园地处温东，是个不大的社区公园。加拿大的公园和国内的公园概念不完全一样，这里的公园指的就是公共的园林绿地、自然景观。这特劳特湖公园就是绕着湖水四周的一片开阔地方。
节日在白天就开始了，我是在傍晚9点多才到的。公园里人流如织，几乎每个小单位（或家庭，或亲朋，或同学）都举着提着灯笼。坐在草地上的人把周围用多个灯笼圈起来，远远观去，一组组的灯光闪烁，煞是好看。
更多的人提着灯笼，绕着湖边小径散步。我第一次来，不知哪里热闹，就随大流一起绕湖一周，边走边观景。
湖面那个平静啊，圆圆的月亮挂在天上，映在水中。一句歌词正好形容：“天上有个月亮，水中有个月亮，我不知道我不知道，哪个更圆，哪个更亮”。
就在这擦黑的时候，在这么多人群当中，竟然有人喊亮灯。
原来又是我的博友，之前曾三次在大型活动的浩瀚人群中巧遇的KW。这次是第四次巧遇了。
并且发现我们都是临时决定匆匆出门赶来，穿的衣服也像是事先约好了的，都是黑白条。
这四次奇遇的场景很有纪念意义，赶快请旁边一专业摄影家帮忙拍照留念。背景正是圆圆的大月亮。

彩灯节
彩灯节说是为了纪念光源而举办的。
在国内，每当正月十五时沈阳都有大型的元宵灯会，市民出门看灯叫闹花灯。那种场面声势浩大，豪华彩灯让人眼光缭乱，声光电高科技手段全都用上。相比之下，眼前看到的彩灯就太简单了，几乎没有大制作。无论从艺术造型上，还是制作质量上，两国灯笼的水平都不在同一个层次上。中国的灯笼个个堪称艺术品，艺不惊人拿不出手，拿得出手的必得露一手。
加国的灯笼讲究自由创意，随心所欲，自我欣赏，陶醉于制作的过程。谁也不在乎自己的灯笼是否比别人的更漂亮。
从人们手提的灯笼，可以看出之前的准备过程花了些亲子时间，很多灯笼可以看出是父母与孩子共同制作出来的。
然后再挈妇携子，举家挑灯来参加彩灯节。浓浓的亲情和温馨的家庭充满了彩灯节现场。
有人用几块三明治拼成个灯笼，中间点亮后，就像一个大块的三明治。
有月亮挂在柳梢头的灯。乍看上去就是树上挂个大圆饼，没什么特色呀。天黑下来后再经过时，才发现这么简单的灯笼原来是这么美的创意！已经有好几个专业摄影师围在月亮灯旁边左照右照了。好美的意境！

还有鬼魅灯，西瓜灯，金鱼灯。。。草地上的一组动物灯，算是大型制作了。一群孩子们围着彩灯用手机拍照，然后他们手指一动，就会把这些彩灯照片发到微博上，与小朋友们共同分享现场的快乐了。

彩灯节
最多的灯笼则是最简单的纸筒灯，把一张白纸折成一个或圆或方的纸筒，中间点上电池灯，就是彩灯了。几百个简单的灯围在一起时，效果就不一样了。值得称道的是灯上风格各异的画，有铅笔、水彩、蜡笔画。这绝不同于批量生产出来的灯笼，有多少个灯就有多少个创意。人们穿梭其间，欣赏每个不同的小小画面，寻找哪个是自己的作品。
天黑之后，彩灯群又展现出不同的效果了。
