# Yasu, Kōchi

Yasu (夜須町, Yasu-chō) was a town located in Kami District, Kōchi Prefecture, Japan.

## History

On March 1, 2006, Yasu, along with the towns of Akaoka, Kagami and Noichi, and the village of Yoshikawa (all from Kami District), was merged to create the city of Kōnan and no longer exists as an independent municipality.
The port, Tei, is located in the south-east of the town and dates from the Edo period, over 200 years ago. The port walls of the time have remained intact.
The town merger, originally planned for 2005, was postponed because of the withdrawal of participating towns. Yasu did not withdraw but residents were not overly favorable to the merger. The merger into the new city of Konan took effect on March 1, 2006.

## Population

As of June 2004, the town had an estimated population of 4,440 and a density of 108.32 persons per km$^2$. The total area was 39.07 km$^2$.

## Economy

The main industries of Yasu are fisheries and farming. Local products include melons and various fruits.

## Education

As of July 2004, Yasu Junior High School has an enrollment of 97 students between the ages of 12 and 15. As Yasu has no high school, graduating students will continue to high schools in the Kami Area, Aki (to the east) and Kōnan (to the west).

| All About Jazz | |
Allmusic awarded the album 3½ stars and said, "Sophisticated Ladies does fall just short at times of mimicking a brand of saccharine faux-post-big-band jazz that flourished in the '50s and early '60s, but Haden and his team are too masterful to allow their tribute to lose its stylishness and, of course, its sophistication". Writing in The Guardian, John Fordham observed, "Haden's patient lyricism and devotion to classic song melody always exhibit a disguised intensity and a flawless touch ... all the performances are touched by Haden's instinct for doing the right thing quietly". PopMatters' Steven Horowitz said, "Haden’s presence as bassist may not be the most audible feature on the disc, but the evidence here certainly shows that he commands the respect and effort of his band and guest vocalists. The music is consistently smooth and satisfying". Martin Longley of BBC Music said, "Haden has managed to entice some of the most renowned jazz songbirds in the world, and their combined efforts are cumulatively sombre, with a frisson of bittersweet fatalism. Sometimes this build-up can establish a cocktail lounge atmosphere, but in most cases its emotional resonances hover on the right side of poignant". On All About Jazz Chris May wrote, "With top drawer vocals, a virtuoso jazz backbone, immaculate audio quality and engaging liner notes by executive producer Jean-Philippe Allard, Sophisticated Ladies is a delight".

# Shafer Commission

The Shafer Commission, formally known as the National Commission on Marihuana and Drug Abuse, was appointed by U.S. President Richard Nixon in the early 1970s. Its chairman was former Pennsylvania Governor Raymond P. Shafer. The commission issued a report on its findings in 1972 that called for the decriminalization of marijuana possession in the United States. The report was ignored by the White House, but is an important document against prohibition.
While the Controlled Substances Act was being drafted in a House committee in 1970, Assistant Secretary of Health Roger O. Egeberg had recommended that marijuana temporarily be placed in Schedule I, the most restrictive category of drugs, pending the Commission's report. On March 22, 1972, the Commission's chairman, Raymond P. Shafer, presented a report to Congress and the public entitled "Marihuana: a Signal of Misunderstanding," which favored ending marijuana prohibition and adopting other methods to discourage use. The report was republished as a Signet Books New American Library paperback in 1972.
The Commission's report said that while public sentiment tended to view marijuana users as dangerous, they actually found users to be more timid, drowsy and passive. It concluded that cannabis did not cause widespread danger to society. It recommended using social measures other than criminalization to discourage use. It compared the situation of cannabis to that of alcohol.
The Commission's proposed decriminalization of marijuana possession was opposed, in 1974, by the recommendations of a congressional subcommittee chaired by Senator James Eastland.
The Nixon administration did not implement the recommendations from the National Commission on Marihuana and Drug Abuse. However, the report has frequently been cited by individuals supporting removal of cannabis from Schedule I of the Controlled Substances Act.

The restaurant has views of Mount Hood and an interior inspired by Oregon's nature. According to Gallivan, Bellpine's design "is evocative of the nearby dramatic Oregon coastline and sculpted as if by the tides of the sea with inspiration from the Haystack Rock formations and the flora and fauna of the tidepools". He also said the restaurant's logo "reflects the longitude/latitude degree mark with a tall B" to connote Bellpine's "impressive" elevation. The menu has included a "shrimp and grits" corn dog, Chinook salmon on an English muffin with cucumber relish, a New York-style strip steak, tagliatelle al pesto, roasted pumpkin bisque, an albacore tataki-style salad, and avocado toast with Dungeness crab.

# Axe Giant: The Wrath of Paul Bunyan (Original Motion Picture Soundtrack)

Axe Giant: The Wrath of Paul Bunyan (Original Motion Picture Soundtrack) is both the seventeenth album and third movie soundtrack by the gothic horror instrumental band, Midnight Syndicate. The album features Edward Douglas' score to the 2013 horror film Axe Giant: The Wrath of Paul Bunyan and the song The Ballad of Paul Bunyan, performed by Hick'ry Hawkins.

## Background and album information

In a 2013 interview, composer, Edward Douglas described the soundtrack:
   (Director) Gary Jones wanted the film to have a feel similar to classic monster movies like King Kong. I found myself trying to channel my inner Max Steiner and Bernard Herrmann, in an effort to achieve that big, dramatic, classical sound. The monster in the film is American folklore legend, Paul Bunyan, so it gave me the opportunity to work with some 19th century American instrumentation as well. I think the result is a soundtrack that will sound both familiar and at times very different from what Midnight Syndicate has done to this point.
Later, Douglas said that the Axe Giant soundtrack represented some of his favorite scoring work to date, adding that it both challenged him and allowed him to spread his wings a composer The soundtrack includes the song, The Ballad of Paul Bunyan, written and performed by country punkabilly artist, Hick'ry Hawkins with lyrics that summarize the film's plot.

## Reception

Side-Line Music Magazine praised the soundtrack, citing the tracks, S.T.U.M.P.s Meet Bunyan and Bunyan on the Move as being indicative of the "epic arrangements and horror atmospheres" that make the band special. In their reviews, Tim Gross of Gross Movie Reviews and Michael Allen of 28 Days Later Analysis horror websites both singled out Minnesota 1894 as an example of the score's diversity.

# Dèmoni 3

Noite Maldita - Demoni 3 (originally known as Black Demons) is a 1991 Italian horror film directed by Umberto Lenzi (his last horror film). It was written by Lenzi and his wife Olga Pehar, and the zombie makeup fx were handled by Franco Casagni. Lenzi said in later interviews that this was one of his favorite films, but he felt it was ruined by the low budget.

## Synopsis

Two American college students, Dick, his sister Jessica, and her English boyfriend Kevin, are traveling through Brazil on vacation when Dick, after attending a bizarre voodoo ceremony, develops strange powers.
When their jeep breaks down near a small plantation in the jungle outside Rio, the site of a former slave rebellion one hundred years ago, Dick uses his powers to raise from the dead six executed slaves, who target the college kids and the residents of the plantation to seek revenge for their deaths.

## Film title

Lenzi intended Demoni 3 to be called Black Demons, and he did not like it when the film was later retitled Demoni 3 on video, because some people thought it was part of Lamberto Bava's Demons series, which it had absolutely nothing to do with.
Lamberto Bava also directed a film in 1988 for Italian TV entitled The Ogre (aka House of the Ogre), which was released on video in the US as Demons III: The Ogre. Despite the American title, it is also not related in any way to Bava's Demons series. The film that was actually intended to be Demoni 3 was instead released as The Church (La Chiesa), produced by Dario Argento, directed by Michele Soavi and written by Argento, Soavi and Franco Ferrini.
