The Rio Tinto Boron Mine (formerly  the U.S. Borax Boron Mine)  in Boron, California is California's largest open-pit mine and the largest borax mine in the world, producing nearly half the world's borates.  Ore reserves are sufficient for production through at least 2050. It is operated by the Borax division of the Rio Tinto Group.

History
The borax deposit here was discovered in 1913, by John K. Suckow, who when drilling for water found a deposit of what he believed to be gypsum. Further testing revealed it was the colemanite form of borax.  Francis Marion "Borax" Smith bought the claim for his Pacific Coast Borax Company.  Mining at the site by shafts began in the 1920s.  Pacific Coast Borax later became U.S. Borax, which subsequently opened the current open-pit mine in 1957.  U.S. Borax was later acquired by Rio Tinto Group, which continues to operate the mine.

A pilot project to produce lithium by sifting through mining waste began in 2019.

Borax Visitor Center
The mine's Borax Visitor Center, which includes a museum, historic mining artifacts, and a mine overlook, is open to the public.

William Gent (19 June 1879 – 7 July 1957) was an Australian rules footballer who played for South Melbourne in the Victorian Football League (VFL).

A rover from Essendon Association, Gent was noted for his bad behaviour on the field. In 1904 he received a 20-game suspension for striking numerous Fitzroy players, while in 1907 he was suspended for life by the league for striking 's Dick L. Harris. His expulsion was lifted on appeal after seven games when it was ruled to be illegal – he had been reported by the Carlton club secretary, rather than by the game's umpire, which was traditionally allowed under VFL rules but turned out no longer to be allowed under the Australasian Football Council rules which had come into effect in 1907. Gent played four more games after return before retiring.

"Preservation" is a non-album single written by Ray Davies and performed by The Kinks in 1974. Although it was related to the two Preservation albums lyrically, it did not appear on either album until it was added to the CD reissue of Preservation Act 1.

Lyrics and music

The lyrics of "Preservation" basically sum up the plot of the two Preservation albums. It describes how "once upon a time in a faraway land, lived a villain called Flash, he was such a wicked man," who "terrorized the people ... broke arms and crushed hands ... ruled with a fist and ... purchased all the land." However, under Flash, the "people were scared" and "they didn't know where to turn." They soon realized that Flash only did what he did for money and "for his own preservation." Now, because Flash broke his promise, "he's got to pay for his crimes and his lies and his evil ways." Unfortunately, the problems for the people will continue, as "it's gonna get rough" in the "story of self preservation."

Musically, the track opens with a guitar riff. "Preservation" also features Ray Davies on vocals, and the track has a rock style. Female backing vocalist appear at the very end of the track.

Release

"Preservation" was not released on either of the Preservation albums when they were first released in 1973 and 1974, respectively. It first was released as a standalone U.S. single, backed with "Salvation Road", the closing track of Preservation Act 2. It did not chart, performing similarly to other Kinks singles of the time. However, it was not released in the U.K. until it was issued as a bonus track on the 1998 CD Velvel edition of Preservation Act 1. However, unlike most other bonus tracks on CD reissues of Kinks albums, it was placed at the beginning of the track listing (rather than being tacked on at the end), making it the opening track. Andrew Hickey wrote in his book, Preservation: The Kinks' Music 1964-1974, that "by starting the CD with a song in the style of ['Demolition']," the album's "structure is ruined."

Reception

"Preservation" has received mixed reviews. Pitchfork Media described the track as "a lankier, reworded take on the album closer 'Demolition.' 'Preservation' never made the album, instead working as a single that sold the concept of the album." Hickey said that the track "for what it is ... this is decent enough - it's a three-chord glam stomper that wouldn't have sounded at all out of place on 70s rock radio, with a catchy guitar riff - but the lyrics are just a giant infodump rather than being particularly clever or moving."

Cash Box called it "a narrative rocker in the Kinks tradition that has the subtle satire and caustic cynicism that they have become famous for."

Truman Bradley or Truman Mauwee (c. 1826–1900) was a Schaghticoke Native American who lived in the village of Nichols in Trumbull, Connecticut.

He was a descendant of Gideon Mauwee, the first Schaghticoke Sachem. Bradley moved to Nichols in 1840 and was a contemporary with William Sherman, Chief of the Golden Hill Paugussett Indian Nation, who lived in the village of Nichols Farms at the Golden Hill Reservation in the mid-19th century. 

Bradley married Julia M. Kilson in March 1846, and together they had three daughters. The Bradleys are buried in the Nichols Farm's Burial Ground. Bradley is believed to have lived in the Ephraim Hawley House as early as 1840, working the farm for the widow Sarah Hawley-Nichols after her second husband Isaac Nichols died. Bradley purchased the house in 1881 from Charles Fairchild. At the time, the property was called the Sarah Hawley homestead. Bradley renovated the house in the colonial revival architectural style in 1881, turning it into a two family home, before selling it to Clarissa Curtiss in 1882.
