George Brown College

George Brown Institution is a publicly funded, fully recognised college of applied arts and technology with three campuses in the heart of Toronto's financial district (Ontario, Canada). GBC, like many other colleges in Ontario, was authorised by the provincial government in 1966 and officially opened its doors the following year.
When Ontario's community college system was created in 1967, the college was one of the first institutions to open its doors. It was on May 21, 1965, that the first Colleges of Applied Arts and Technology were opened their doors. He was a prominent 19th-century politician and newspaper publisher (he created the Toronto Globe, which was the ancestor of The Globe and Mail) who was also one of the Fathers of Confederation. George Brown was the inspiration for the college's name.
Founded in 1951 by the provincial government to provide apprentice training on behalf of the Department of Labour, the college's precursor was known as the Provincial Institute of Trades (PIT). The PIT opened its doors at 21 Nassau Street in Toronto's Kensington Market in 1952 and, after expanding with the construction of two additional buildings on the site, was able to offer programmes in lathing and structural steel, barbering, diesel mechanics, jewellery arts, watchmaking, and welding by 1961. Today, the PIT continues to offer programmes in these and other fields. At 555 Davenport Road, near Casa Loma, the government established the Provincial Institution of Trades and Occupations (PITO), a sister training institute to complement the existing ones.
When George Brown College was established in 1967, it absorbed the both PIT and the PITO and established its Kensington and Casa Loma campuses on the sites of the old locations of the two institutions, respectively. In addition, George Brown College absorbed four former Toronto Board of Education Adult Education Centers in 1969, creating a third campus at 507 College Street, and five Toronto-area Schools of Nursing in 1973, including St. Joseph's, St. Michael's, Toronto General, Atkinson (Toronto Western), and Nightingale, creating a fourth campus at 507 College Street.
The Casa Loma site was enlarged in 1973, and a new building was dedicated in 1974. The St. James Campus, located at 200 King Street East, was established in 1976 in buildings that had formerly housed Christie Bakery and Hallmark Cards.
During the same year that the College Street Campus closed, the Hospitality building (300 Adelaide E.) on the St. James campus opened its doors to students. Kensington Campus was decommissioned in 1994.

George C Keefe

George C. Keefe, Encasement Guy (born 15 November, 1955) is an international consultant, author, lecturer and CEO.
== Career==
Keefe is the founder and CEO of GLOBAL Encasement Inc., a manufacturer of green coatings used in the encasement of hazardous substances such as asbestos and lead. He is also a graduate of Dale Carnegie and is a trained and certified project designer harzadous materials. This background was useful in aiding him spot an opportunity in the harzadous materials industry in the 1990s. While supervising asbestos and lead based paint projects, he realized that people were incurring high costs to remove asbestos and lead even though some were stable. This led him to create a green coating encasement system that would make it easy to manage asbestos and lead in place instead of having them removed. Industry professionals now recommend encasing harzadous substances instead of removal or enclosure that exposes people to air borne cancer causing fibres. 
=== Awards and Recognition ===
Proof that Keefe's encasement system was on the right track came when his company GLOBAL Encasement Inc. was awarded the second prize for best new product at the 1997 BuildingsNY trade show in Manhattan.</ref>
Keefe's green coatings won in 1998 the Rockland County Historic Preservation Merit Award 2015/2016 for preserving an historical building.
In 2001, another of his green coatings was one of thirteen encapsulant products that made it to the New York State Department of Health Acceptable Encapsulant Product List.
Keefe's green coatings company identified in the Materials and Chemicals report as one of the key players in the green coatings global market.
=== Disaster Management ===
Following the March 2011 Fukushima Daiichi nuclear disaster in Japan, TEPCO consulted him for his innovative disaster clean up expertise which led to TEPCO using dust inhibitor to minimize exposure to radioactive dust and contain its release into the atmosphere. Initially the green coating was sprayed manually before mobile pumps and finally a concrete pumper and bendable spray tower were used.It took three months of spraying to cover the entire area around the main plant buildings.
== Books ==
Keefe's first book is “Just Encase They Think You’re Stupid“. Published in 2009 the book is a guide for Managing Asbestos & Lead-Based Paints through encasement.
== Media ==
Keefe's company was a Featured guest on American Environmental Review hosted by Morley Safer.

George Clifton Haskell

George Clifton Haskell (1852 – 1925) was a noted and prolific Baltimore, Maryland-based architect. He married Martha Carson, sister of celebrated architect Charles L. Carson, whose firm launched Haskell's career, first as a draftsman. By 1892 Haskell had formed his own firm, and in 1899 he was commissioned to design Grace-Hampden Methodist Episcopal Church, now on the national register of historic places. Around 1905 he partnered with George Summerfield Barnes to form Haskell & Barnes, in some cases taking commissions to replace earlier Haskell commercial and industrial buildings recently destroyed in the Great Baltimore Fire. In 1912, they took a commission to expand and reimagine the Charles Carson designed Western National Bank, now listed on the National Resister as The Baltimore Grand. 
In 1906 the Haskell designed a new Arts and Crafts influenced Shingle style home on Rogers Avenue in Mount Washington, and moved his family from Bolton Hill. An active member of the Methodist Congregation temporarily meeting in the Kelly Avenue Boy Scout Armory, Haskell was engaged ( by the very building committee on which he sat ) to design Elderslie United Methodist church at the corner of Pimlico Road and Elderslie Avenue ( now Ken Oak Rd. ), just steps from his home. In 1917 daughter Annie married and younger son Lee Carson died; subsequently the Haskells and elder son George Jr. moved to a farm property in Glyndon. George Clifton Haskell died at the farm in 1925.

George Crater

George Crater is a pseudonym for New York radio personality (jazz hipster) Ed Sherman. In addition to hosting a radio show on WNCN in the late 1950s and early 1960s, Sherman (as Crater) wrote a monthly Down Beat column of the same name in 1959 and 1960 featuring his humorous jazz reflections. It was mostly a hilarious take on the jazz scene of the time and influenced teenagers who had just discovered jazz. :Some of George Crater's columnsSherman presented his observational style of jazz humor on the early FM station of WNCN, a New York radio station, in 1961, on Saturdays from 6 p.m.
On posters of jazz concerts where he spoke, he was billed as 'Jazz Humorist'. : Poster McCoy Tyner December 31, 1961, featuring George Crater billed as "Jazz Humorist"
Among his creations was a group of musicians with related names such as Prez Glick, Quincy Cohn, Thelonius Crasner, Miles Cosnat and Gimp Lymphly and the bandleader and legendary saxophonist Zoot Finster. Crater then made reviews of Finster's records.
==Album "Out of my Head"==
Around 1960, Sherman/Crater recorded a comedy album on the Riverside label (Riverside 841). It had the same name as the Downbeat column, "Out of My Head": Album "Out of my head" on Spotify. It was unusual for it to be recorded in a studio with no audience or a laugh track. Sherman/Crater's style is like a predecessor of Woody Allen with a deadpan voice and frequent use of jazz slang from that era. About half of the album deals directly with jazz; for example, he talks about jazz wind-up dolls (wind up the Miles Davis doll and it turns its back to you; a Charles Mingus doll punches a critic and the Horace Silver doll sweats for 30 minutes). He also makes up an imaginative story about his performance at a jazz concert at City Hall. While addressing the audience, he imagines Ornette Coleman, annoyed by one of the comedian's jokes, sitting on the balcony, armed with a gun. He also provides a description of the jazz TV special, "The Singin' Swingin' Years".

George Edgar (Music)

George Edgar is a country music artist made up of songwriting brothers Jeremy McDaniel and Joshua McDaniel. Established in 2024, they quickly burst onto the scene making waves by churning out albums in what seems like impossible time. Their first album "Heartbreaks & Highs" was written and produced in just four days. The follow-up second album "Album No. 2" was released just weeks later and their third album "American Fairytales" was completed just a week following "Album No. 2," and is scheduled to be released worldwide less than a month later. According to Joshua and Jeremy, they are already halfway finished with albums four and five and have a goal of releasing twelve albums in twelve months. 
For the McDaniel brothers, growing up in the Midwest, country music is a way of life... "the songs live in your blood and a great song doesn't just tell a story, it puts you inside that story. That's our goal, we want to connect with people and make them sing along, really be a part of the music. Whether it's falling in love, hanging with the guys, or experiencing great loss... it's all part of the cycle of life and that's really what Heartbreaks and Highs is all about - that carousel of emotions - up and down and round and round"
George Edgar takes influence and blends a classic 1990's country sound with a new-age pop country blend that ties generational listeners.
