Hyman (Hye) Bossin (1906–1964) was a Canadian journalist, editor and author, most noted as editor of the Canadian film magazine Canadian Film Weekly from 1941 until his death in 1964.

The son of Jewish immigrants, Bossin was born and raised in Toronto. After having had a number of short stories and non-fiction articles published in Canadian media in early adulthood, he briefly moved to Hollywood with the goal of becoming a screenwriter, but soon returned to Toronto and began writing a weekly column and film reviews for the Toronto Star. In 1939 he published A Saint in Street Clothes, a biography of Toronto newspaper salesman Willie Frankel, who was an early labour organizer for newspaper sales workers and a leader in the city's Jewish community in the early 20th century.

In 1941, Bossin and Nat Taylor took over the struggling Canadian film trade publication The Exhibitor, renaming it to Canadian Film Weekly and successfully reviving it as an important outlet for Canadian film industry news. His weekly column in the magazine was titled "On the Square", named for the magazine's offices near Toronto's Dundas Square. One of his most famous columns for the magazine poked fun at the common practice of defining actors in terms of their similarities to or differences from other actors, attracting so much feedback that he revisited the theme of "X is the one who isn't Y" in several further columns until he tired of it.

He also authored two books of historical analysis of Abraham Lincoln's diplomatic relationships with Canada and the United Kingdom, In the Spirit of Abraham Lincoln in 1954 and Mr. Lincoln's Forgotten Friend in 1956, as well as Stars of David, a history of Jewish contributions to live theatre in Toronto.

He was a recipient of a special Canadian Film Award, for "his valuable contribution over the years in the field of motion pictures in Canada, and particularly his promotion of Canadian film archives", at the 7th Canadian Film Awards in 1955.

Rogers Vacuum Tube Company (formally named Radio Manufacturing Corporation Limited) was founded as the Standard Radio Manufacturing Corporation in 1925 by Edward Rogers (1900–1939) to sell Rogers "Batteryless" radios using vacuum tube technology. It was later renamed Rogers Majestic Corporation Limited when Rogers merged his company with Majestic Corporation of Chicago in 1928. The new company controlled Rogers Radio Tube Company and Rogers Batteryless Radio Company. Joseph Elsworth Rogers (1898–1960), brother of Edward Rogers, was an important member of the company and served as vice-president until 1939, and then as head from 1939 to 1960.

The company founded Toronto AM radio station CFRB in order to promote its invention of a batteryless radio receiver, as well as demonstrate the invention of a radio transmitter using batteryless alternating current tubes, making CFRB the first all-mains-electric radio station in the world. Edward Rogers died in 1939, and the company was sold in 1941 to Small Electric Motors Ltd. (that became the Canadian division of Dutch giant Royal Philips Electronics), which changed the name of the Rogers Majestic Corporation Limited to Standard Radio Ltd.

Vacuum tubes using alternating current 
In 1924, Edward Rogers formed Rogers Radio Ltd of Toronto to manufacture radios. While visiting the United States, he witnessed an experimental tube operating using AC current demonstrated by Frederick S. McCullough. The demonstration proved that an AC operated vacuum tube was feasible, but it exhibited too much hum, due to the filament cycling at the generator frequency. Returning to Canada, Rogers experimented with ways to reduce this hum by redesigning the filament and successfully demonstrating the hum reduction in the fall of 1924.

The Standard Radio Manufacturing Corporation was formed in 1925 to mass-produce this new AC operated vacuum tube. Rogers produced and marketed one of the first Canadian and United States AC operated triode vacuum tubes with the production of the Rogers R30 and R32. RCA would market the UX-226 AC triode in September 1926.

In 1928, Rogers changed the name from Standard Radio Manufacturing to the Rogers Radio Tube Company Ltd. Rogers by this time had put more emphasis in vacuum tube development and manufacturing over the manufacture and selling of radio sets. During this period, Rogers was in full production of AC operated tetrode tubes similar to the RCA UY-224.

Footsteps of Our Fathers is a jazz album by the Branford Marsalis Quartet, featuring Branford Marsalis, Eric Revis, Jeff "Tain" Watts, and Joey Calderazzo, which was recorded  December 1–3, 2001 at Bearsville Sound Studios in New York, New York. Marsalis's first recording for his new label Marsalis Music after 18 years on Sony Music, the album features the quartet's recording of four significant works of jazz from the years 1955 to 1964, including works by Ornette Coleman, Sonny Rollins (The Freedom Suite), John Coltrane (A Love Supreme), and the Modern Jazz Quartet.

Reception

The album peaked at number 4 on the Billboard Top Jazz Albums chart.

John Fordham, reviewing the album in The Guardian, writes that "The pieces are all postwar jazz standards … but the band handles it all as if it were metal to be melted down and refashioned, not fine china to be merely dusted over."  Writing for AllAboutJazz.com, Dan McClenaghan calls the album "the first great Branford Marsalis album since 96's The Dark Keys." Nate Chinen, in his JazzTimes review, says that the listening experience is "disconcerting to hear these opuses revisited so faithfully-all the more so because Marsalis, despite obvious burdens of influence, somehow manages to claim them as his own. ... throughout the disc, Marsalis explores the sharp-cornered abandon that has always distinguishing his playing-and it seems more focused on Footsteps than on all but his best prior efforts." And writing in JazzReview, Samira Blackwell says, "The repertory might have some years on it, but the playing does not suffer at all and provides a phenomenal vehicle for Marsalis’s indomitable personality. … Marsalis manages to give the listener déjà vu chills at times, yet puts his personal sound on the music. This tightrope walking could go badly very easily, but Branford pulls it off with a style that eclipses his previously recorded CDs." Lastly, in the Los Angeles Times, Howard Reich says that "Marsalis is not simply retracing the steps of two acknowledged masterpieces. On the contrary, he offers a decidedly fresh perspective on these milestones, attaining profound balladry in certain passages of 'Freedom,' and ferocious energy and a searing intensity in the climactic sections of 'Supreme.'"

Patrick Still Lives (, also known as Patrick Is Still Alive) is a 1980 Italian horror film directed by Mario Landi, and his last film. It is a low-budget unauthorized sequel of the Australian horror Patrick from two years earlier. It is known primarily for its graphic scenes of sex and gore, notably an extremely graphic scene of 
rape, which ended with the victim disembowelled with a poker. The film was shot in the same house later used as main set in Burial Ground: The Nights of Terror.

Plot
The film follows events surrounding a young boy named Patrick sent into a coma after a roadside accident and who develops psychic powers with which he is free to commit brutal murders.

Production
Mariangela Giordano regretted filming the scene in which she is violated by a floating poker: "This movie is the worst instance of how shocked I was in retrospect by something I'd done on film. That poker scene is so disgusting, so terrible, only Gabriele[Crisanti] could have sweet talked me into actually doing it!". "It took two days to film that scene, and because the poker had to keep thrusting between my legs before it came out of the top of my head, it got more and more painful as we kept going. And it was cold and freezing. I don't know why Gabriele always insisted on making these movies during winter."

The Elbow Room remained in business through subsequent owners until 2003. Joe was manager of the bar from 1973 to 1978. He earned a B.A. in political science from the University of Alaska Fairbanks in 1975, and a Juris Doctor from the University of Puget Sound School of Law in 1981.

Paskvan had an internship in 1981 under Judge Alexander O. Bryner of the Alaska Court of Appeals, the year after the court was established. He worked for the law firm of Rice, Hoppner, Brown, & Brunner until 1986, when he started his own partnership, Paskvan & Ringstad PC.

He was elected in November 2008 to an open seat, as incumbent Gary Wilken retired after 3 terms. In the general election, he defeated Cynthia Henry, a gift shop owner who served on both the Fairbanks North Star Borough Assembly and the University of Alaska Board of Regents.

On November 6, 2012, Paskvan lost his general election bid to Pete Kelly.

Henry Vollmer (July 28, 1867 – August 25, 1930) was an attorney, the mayor of Davenport, Iowa, and a Democratic U.S. Representative from Iowa's 2nd congressional district. Winning a special election in 1914, he served just over one year in Congress.

Biography 
Born in Davenport, Vollmer attended the public schools of Davenport. Following graduation from high school, he travelled to Washington, D.C. to work as a distributing clerk of the Fiftieth Congress in 1887 and 1888.

He studied law at the University of Iowa at Iowa City, Iowa, and Georgetown University in Washington, D.C.
He was admitted to the bar in 1889 and commenced practice in Davenport.

He served as member of the board of aldermen of Davenport in 1889, as mayor of Davenport from 1893 to 1897, and as a member of the board of education in Davenport from 1898 to 1901. He later became corporation counsel for Davenport in 1913 and 1914.

Congress 
From 1911 to 1913, Iowa's 2nd congressional district was represented by Democrat Irvin S. Pepper. Pepper died on December 22, 1913, midway through his second term. In a special election held in February 1914, Vollmer defeated Republican Harry E. Hull, succeeding Pepper in the Sixty-third Congress. As a Congressman, Vollmer defended the Underwood Tariff, and opposed Prohibition.

Less than two months after winning the special election, Vollmer announced that he would not seek re-election in the regular election in November 1914. Vollmer attributed his decision to family considerations, but Republicans attributed it to the unpopularity in his district of the Underwood tariff. Hull would win the general election and succeed him. In all, Vollmer served from February 10, 1914, to March 3, 1915.

Later career 
Vollmer resumed the practice of law, while remaining active in local and state democratic politics. He defended his brother, former county attorney Fred Vollmer, who had been indicted for allegedly assisting and abetting a conspiracy to violate the Espionage Act of 1917 by bringing a controversial League of Humanity speaker to Davenport soon after the United States entered World War I. The 1917 jury trial resulted in a hung jury, and on the retrial, Fred Vollmer pleaded guilty, paid a fine, and moved to the Los Angeles area.
  
Henry Vollmer's fiery speeches continued to attract criticism from his opponents and kudos from his supporters. In the late 1920s his family wintered in California while returning to Davenport in the summer.

Death 
He died in Piedmont, California, on August 25, 1930. His remains were cremated and the ashes placed in a crypt in the California Crematorium, now the Chapel of the Chimes, in Oakland, California.
