Thessalon, Ontario, Canada had became a thriving settlement that was first in habited by the Thessalon First Nations, which was an aboriginal culture known as the Ojibway. Much of the Native community at this time had mainly thrived on fish that was taken out from the Thessalon RIver, and animals that were hunted for meat and fur. This at the time was the primary survival as the land that was known as “Neyashewun” meaning “point of land.". It was during this time period when the North Shore area of Ontario, Canada, was being widely inhabited and the name Thessalon was adapted in 1670. The origin of Thessalon is quite not known to when it was first named or by who had adapted this name but theories on itsestablishment could have been taken from a First Nation word or phrase or perhaps it was taken from the bible or maybe from the early Jesuit Priests. The other theory which makes obvious sense would of possibly have been establish as a military post that was developed inline with the U.S border.

The very first European Settler to have arrived in Thessalon was John Mcbain and his family that came to this area in 1867. This family at the time had rather occupied a plot of land at about 2 miles from the Thessalon River during this time period of residency. Much of the very first land that was occupied at this time was rather tilted on an old native property that was also inhabited by two other residence


known as the Donald and Malcolm McLeod. This would also be the home of two other residence that resided in log cabins at the mouth of the Thessalon River, and were commonly known as John Gegar and Peter Genelle. However, records show that the area was well in habited before McBain's arrival to the general area and had been first establish as a primary spot for farming that was undertaken by the European Explorers in 1780, after the American War of Independence.

It was during the depletion of white pine along the southern shores of Georgian Bay that had mainly started thriving logging operations by the early 1870’s. During this time it was also considered that the very first lumber mill of wood operation to have made it wayinto the North Channel was establish by Joseph Salvai in Blind River. Within this time period Mr. Salvail had came to agreements with the Montreal Mining Company in order to supply lumber and timbers for buildings and mining operations at Bruce Mines. Blind River at this time was mainly chosen because it was found that the river could be dammed in order to provide water power for the on-site mill that he had built on the west side of the river.Mr. Sallvail was rather one of the fewer loggers to have resided on the North Channel and was not obliged to pat timber dues. He would additionally sell his property to lumber barrens known as Peter Murray and Joseph Williams of Goderich in 1869. Plans by these to


individuals had escalated when this had called for a major expansion of the Blind River establishment.Their direct plans at this time were mainly aimed at building a mill with a capacity of 50,000 board feet of Lumber per day, but lack of capital had delayed the realization of the objective until 1881.

The failure of this Lumber Mill had shortly regained interest to the area when Nathaniel Dyment had came to Thessalon with an intention of building a saw mill operation. It was at this point in time when he had acquired a licences to conduct logging operations on the Native Reserve. His main attention at this time was aimed towards operating along the Thessalon River that became cleared. Before this had occurred it was also reported that Mr.Dyment had came to this area with the much needed machinery to develop his own saw milling operation in 1871. This will be described in a little bit more detail on another article that will be attached to this and will give the insight on history of what became a thriving business by the Dyment Lumber Company. During 1906, the Dyment Lumber Company was eventually sold to new interest that became known as the Thessalon Lumber Company.

This at the time was also followed by the development of other lumbering mills at had occupied the North Shore of Lake Huron at this time. The North Shore was rather accessed by the mean of railway lines that were establish by the Algoma Central Railway and the Canadian Pacific Railway Line.


Most of these small scale areas such as Bruce Mine, Blind River, Thessalon, Espanola, Manitoulin Island and Sault Ste Marie had acted as station points. Much of the mills of the area which will be mention in a later article are know to included the Burtis Mill, the Hope Mill, Nesterville Mill, Gordon Mill, and other mills of the area. Mining activity along the north shore became quite prosperous at this time when contracts were given to the lumber barrens who actively built mills and incorporated companies.

Prior to Lumbering, Thessalon was also thriving on a secondary industry when the Woollen Mill was the first to operate within the area. It was reported that this enterprise was being planned in 1888, and it was by 1890, when Mr. Dymentyear of 1906, was also another contributor to the economy of Thessalon as Rock Lake Mine, Bruce Mines, Copper Queen, and other mines that were active in this area. During this time period, a promoter by the name of H. Appleton had made his way into this wilderness setting area that was accessed by the Canadian Pacific Railway Line. His main attention at this time was the proposal to start a smelting operation in the Thessalon area in regards to processing rich output of copper ore. It was the Council proceedings on January, 15, 1907, when a featured delegation of prominent citizens headed by A. A Burk who had urge their municipal representatives to make definite and favourable offers to induce the bringing of a smelter into town.


Mr. Appleton had rather attended this council meeting to discuss the agreement and contract that was signed on April, 9, 1907. Land at this time was also provided that became situated east of the town on a bay and councillor D. C. Cole was then given responsibility of overseeing the opening of a road to the site. This at the time would also boost economic opportunities for other companies when the Saginaw Salt and Lumber Company had negotiated a contract to supply wood for the building of this large scale mill. The smelter site was additionally in operation for one year and had only came to failure due to the processing not being suitable for production of ore. Within 1919, the former mill site was later made intoa box factory that was developed by the Firstbrook Brothers of Toronto, Ontario, Canada. Much of the major industry would only operated till 1929, when the great depression had cause some down falls to occur with the box making industry and the factory would be closed in 1930.

Other major projects of the area during 1906, were also being confined to building a Veneer Mill that was to supply Veneers for the making of Baskets. This creative idea came to play when Joseph Edward Asam, a native of Munroe, Michigan, had came to Algoma via Owen Sound in 1906. His main attentions at this time were mainly aimed at establishing a Veneer Mill for the supply of wood Veneer that was used for basket making near Rock Lake. It


was also considered as the only mill of its type to have been developed within the province of Ontario, Canada, at this time. Much of the wooden Veneers that were used for making wooden baskets were also being shipped by rail from the mill to the Algoma Railway and later to the Soo Line of the Canadian Pacific Railway.

Lumber Mill at this time had continued to dominate the North Shore region when another lumber mill was built by the Saginaw Salt and Lumber Company in 1908. Most of the production of wood was continued for a short time period as business was place under contract to supply boards to the C. A. Beck Lumber Company. Milling operation would only continue for a short time period by this companyas it was sold to the Hope Lumber Company. In order to get this operation moving the company had arrange financing by Messrs. White, Gatrick and Mitchell of Buffalo, New York. It was also believed that this was a subsidiary company that became operated by Foss Lumber Company, which was named after Edith Hope Foss. Lumber at this time was also entering is prosperous stage when 1915 and 1929, had steady lumber markets that were in demand of supply. Within 1920, the Hope Lumber Company had came under control of James L. Crane, of Bridgeburg, Ontario, Canada. At this time, Mr. Crane had ran this business under the name Hope Lumber Company, until 1927, when the company had closed the mill and moved off to Donnegona. It was


at a later time period when Mr. Crane had reorganized the company to form a new company in 1929, which was known as the Crane Lumber Company. With limited amount of success it was reported that the saw mill in Donnegona was not very successful and had only operated for one year before it was closed in 1930.

As high-grade lumber was needed, it was also at this time when the Crane Lumber Company would once again reopen the Old Hope Mill in 1931. It was during 1932, when this company had major down falls as it would end up suffering a tremendous loss in profit when a raging fire swept through the lumber yard. Most of this was caused due to a major draught that effected much ofNorthern Ontario with raging fires that could be seen for miles at this time. Operations by the Crane Lumber Company would additionally continue up till 1939, when the company would end up shutting down and Thessalon was now without a major sawmill industry.

Revival of the lumbering industry was additionally made in 1948, when the Midway Lumber Mills, Ltd. had operated in the area. Much of the timber that was cut and obtained within this time period had also been obtained through small crown licences and deeded property. Most of the milling that was done had been mainly conducted locally while lumber was also being shipped to the United States for further processing. This at the time was rather a large scale operation that was being achieved by the

A balmy Saturday morning greeted about 7 volunteers to Sharon's home in Newark. This home is the first Delaware project since the Board voted to expand into New Castle County this fall. Last year, Good Neighbors completed 150 projects, or 3 each week, in Chester County.

The volunteers plus the Good Neighbors' staff held hands in a circle with the home owner to dedicate the day to God and these repairs to Sharon so that she can live "warmer, safer, drier and healthier".

Immediately, the team fanned out to remove drafty windows, repair a leaky roof, and extracted a sliding glass door that would not open, but it let rain water in.

From 2001 to 2005, Abrams worked as president of New York Times Television, the documentary production company. In 2005, he switched gears and took a full-time position as the executive director of Trickle Up.

Who has been the ultimate good man in your life?

My dad. He was a classic child of the Depression, and his total focus was on making a better life for his family. He was modest, unpretentious, hard-working, honest, kind, and passionately in love with my mother. He was not particularly charitable or public-spirited, but the values he gave us and the example he set—and the freedom he gave each of his three sons to make our own paths—are my North Star.

The grade of the soft shoulder may be particularly steep when the soft shoulder is formed adjacent a ditch or other drop in elevation. The asphalt roller or the vehicle used to compact the soft shoulder may slide off the soft shoulder and roll over as the asphalt roller or the vehicle traverses the width of the soft shoulder. Generally, the asphalt roller cannot adjust to the grade of the soft shoulder without leaving a driving surface of the road. Further, the tire of the vehicle may leave a rut in the soft shoulder. Water collecting in the rut hastens erosion of the soft shoulder.

The road shoulder compacting apparatus including a fixed arm may limit the accessibility of a vehicle to which the road shoulder compacting apparatus is attached. Further, the road shoulder compacting apparatus may increase a likelihood of a rollover accident when used to compact shoulders having a steep grade, as the vehicle must operate closer to the road shoulder.
It would be desirable to have an apparatus for compacting road shoulders able to be positioned within a normal width of a vehicle when not in use, able to vibrationally compact the road shoulder, and having a compacting attachment that may be adjusted according to a grade of the shoulder.

EDINBURGH, Sept 19 (Reuters) - Scotland spurned independence in a historic referendum on Thursday, saving a union dating back over 300 years but ushering in a period of intense bargaining over Prime Minister David Cameron's pre-vote pledges to give Scots more say over their own affairs.

A vote for the union is a relief for millions of Britons including Cameron, whose job was on the line, as well as allies across the world who were horrified at the prospect of the United Kingdom's separation.

Unionists cheered, kissed and drank wine and beer in Glasgow, Scotland's biggest city where secessionists were in a majority, while nationalist leader Alex Salmond conceded defeat and hours later told reporters he would resign.

Opponents of independence won 55 percent of themade."

Salmond said he would not run again as leader of the Scottish National Party when his term ends in November and would resign as Scottish First Minister then too.

"For me as leader my time is nearly over but for Scotland the campaign continues and the dream will never die," he told journalists in Edinburgh, the Scottish capital which supported the United Kingdom.

The vote prevents 59-year-old Salmond from winning his dream of an independent Scotland, a goal for which he has worked with a mix of shrewd calculation and nationalist passion for his entire adult life.

Cameron said the question of Scottish independence had been settled for a generation.

"There can be no disputes, no re-runs, we have heard the settled will of the Scottish people," he said outside his official


London residence in Downing Street.

FEDERAL KINGDOM?

The campaign for independence had electrified this country of 5.3 million but also divided the passions of friends and families from the remote Scottish islands of the Atlantic to the tough city estates of Glasgow.

Queen Elizabeth, who is at her Scottish castle in Balmoral, issued a rare statement expressing confidence that Scots would be able to come together again after the deep divisions of the referendum campaign.

She said: "Knowing the people of Scotland as I do, I have no doubt that Scots ... are able to express strongly-held opinions before coming together again in a spirit of mutualrespect and support, to work constructively for the future of Scotland and indeed all parts of this country."

The referendum result sent sterling up sharply against the dollar and the euro. British bonds and shares rose while major British companies with Scottish exposure welcomed the decision.

Royal Bank of Scotland said it had scrapped plans to move its registered office to England.

Opinion polls showing a surge in Scottish separatist support in the two weeks leading up to the Sept. 18 vote prompted a rushed British pledge to grant more powers to Scotland, a step that has angered some English lawmakers in Westminster.

In an effort to deflate that anger, Cameron vowed to forge a new constitutional settlement that would grant Scotland the promised powers but also give greater control to England,


Wales and Northern Ireland.

"Just as Scotland will vote separately in the Scottish parliament on their issues of tax, spending and welfare, so too England, as well as Wales and Northern Ireland should be able to vote on these issues," Cameron said.

"All this must take place, in tandem with and at the same pace as the settlement for Scotland," he added.

Cast as a constitutional revolution, commentators said Cameron's pledge of more powers to the constituent parts of the United Kingdom was aimed at sedating 'the slumbering beast of English nationalism'.

But several pointed to the difficulties of reaching quick concensus among lawmakers on the details of devolution.

"This result presents both opportunities and challenges for Cameron," said Matthew Ashton, a politics lecturer at Nottingham Trent University.

"On the one hand he canmake claim to the title of 'the man who saved the union'. On the other, he'll now have to deliver on his extraordinary ambitious promises of a new constitutional settlement."

Cameron's Conservatives have seen members seep towards the United Kingdom Independence Party, an anti-European Union party, ahead of a referendum on EU membership that Cameron has promised by the end of 2017 if he wins the 2015 election.

Any British vote to leave the EU would be likely to prompt calls from Scottish nationalists for another independence vote.

Seeking to tap into a cocktail of historical rivalry, opposing political tastes and a perception that London has mismanaged Scotland, nationalists said


Scots, not London, should rule Scotland to build a wealthier and fairer country.

Though the nationalists won Glasgow, they failed to live up to opinion polls before the vote which forecast that the United Kingdom's fate was balanced on a knife edge.

"We have chosen unity over division, and positive change rather than needless separation," Alistair Darling, head of the "Better Together" campaign.

Unionists had warned independence would diminish the United Kingdom's standing in the world and sow financial, economic and political uncertainty during months of negotiations over a messy divorce.

U.S. President Barack Obama and European Union leaders had made clear they wanted the United Kingdom to stay together.

In Brussels, the European Commission said the Scottish vote result was good for a "united, open and stronger Europe" while NATO Secretary GeneralA few weeks ago, my wife and I took a drive to visit friends and family in her small hometown out in western Pennsylvania. It was what you'd expect from a region that has been dealing with economic recession since the steel and rail industries dried up and blew away forty years ago – sweet and beautiful in places, blighted and depressing in others, but with the first faint bloom of spring on the trees whispering of better days to come – except for one strange, glaring thing.

Case Series
===========

Between 2000 and 2010, five children with GO were treated in our service of pediatric surgery at the Centre Hospitalier Universitaire Vaudois (CHUV) in Lausanne. All patients came from West Africa.

The Department of Pediatric Surgery of the University Hospital in Lausanne (CHUV) has been providing medical support to Benin and Togo since 1980 by organizing yearly surgical missions and follow-up of operated children. The surgical missions take place in the Hospital Center of the Department of Zou and Colline, in Abomey, Benin. The Pediatric Hospital of Sédo-Goho, built in 1997 in Abomey,wealth. The poor in this instance don't even get the drippings," Croll said in a speech to the Empire Club of Canada.

He lamented that governments were "pouring billions of dollars every year into a social-welfare system that merely treats the symptoms of poverty but leaves the disease itself untouched."

But Croll was sure he had a solution – a guaranteed annual income that would provide the poor with a minimum level of financial support to get by. That recommendation had been the centrepiece of a report prepared by the special Senate committee on poverty, chaired by Croll.

He said the scheme would serve as an incentive to work, "to ensure that those who work will receive and keep more income than those who do not."

He said the time was "long


overdue" for new thinking and a new approach to poverty.

"The elimination of the scourge of poverty from the land is a vital national goal," Croll said in his speech on Jan. 27, 1972.

Today, Conservative Senator Hugh Segal has picked up the torch and has asked a Senate committee to again look at a national guaranteed annual income program, an idea that's been oft recommended over the years but never implemented.

Segal is also trying to push poverty onto the national agenda – and into the campaign platforms of the federal parties for an election that could be just months – or even weeks – away.

"I would hope that for all the debates we're going to have on borders and on foreign policy. .. that there would be a nationaldebate on poverty. ... This is a thing that spans political parties," he said.

In an interview last week, Segal evoked Croll's speech to the Empire Club and noted that the plight of the poor has improved little in the decades since.

"You could be reading the same words today. So little has changed," he said. "We have not budged the poverty numbers. There are still 11 to 12 per cent of the population living beneath the poverty line, worse in the rural areas."

He blames bureaucratic inertia, risk-averse politicians and a lack of national willpower for the lack of a national consensus to find meaningful solutions to the problem.

"Just because we've done welfare the same way for 100 years doesn't mean it's the best way," he said.

That's why he's asked


Minister Jim Flaherty to boost the wages of low-income workers has been a good start.

But he envisages a federal program, operating in co-operation with the provinces, that would provide a base payment to needy individuals, depending on their family size and where they lived.

He's hoping the committee will look at the design of the program and perhaps prompt a federal-provincial task force to seriously address the issue.

"The notion that we have not had a first ministers' meeting on poverty, ever, is in my view an abomination," he said.

Croll's recommendation for a guaranteed annual income was quickly rejected by then prime minister Pierre Trudeau, who called it a "good theory," but unaffordable.

But Segal said that the income program doesn't have to cost any more than the maze of municipal,Swedish 'laser man' Ausonius on trial for 1992 German murder Published duration 13 December 2017

image copyright Reuters image caption John Ausonius (r) denies the killing but did not oppose extradition to Germany

A Swedish right-wing extremist serving life for a spate of racially-motivated attacks in the 1990s has gone on trial in Germany accused of murder.

John Ausonius, dubbed "the laser man" because of the laser sight on his gun, killed one person and injured 10 others in the Stockholm area in 1991-92.

German prosecutors say he also shot dead a woman in Frankfurt in 1992. He denies the charge.

Ausonius's crimes are believed to have inspired the Norwegian Anders Breivik.

Although Ausonius denies the Frankfurt killing, he did not oppose extradition to Germany on condition that he serve any possible jail sentence


in Sweden.

According to the Frankfurt prosecutor's office, Ausonius shot the 68-year-old woman dead in broad daylight while on the run after the shootings in Sweden.

He is alleged to have accused her of stealing an electronic notebook from his coat pocket in the hotel where she worked.

The victim, Blanka Zmigrod, was a survivor of Nazi concentration camps including Auschwitz, Swedish media reported.

Ausonius became one of Sweden's most notorious criminals after he stalked the streets of Stockholm shooting at immigrants. He was jailed for life in 1994.While concrete and asphalt pavement have long been used as the surface material for highways, airport runways and other transportation uses, it has only become popular in the last ten or twenty years to provide small, narrow grooves in the surface of the pavement to improve the frictional characteristics of the pavement.
Generally, highway pavement grooves run longitudinally in the direction of the traffic flow along the highway. This assists any water that accumulates on the road surface to run off and minimize the slipperiness of the road surface. It is believed that these longitudinal grooves are particularly effective on curves and exit and entrance ramps on freeways or limited access highways where permitted travel speeds are the highest.
Airport runways generally have grooves placed transverse to the direction of

Aura Silver Resources Inc., an exploration stage junior mining company, engages in the identification, acquisition, evaluation, and exploration of precious metal deposits in North America. The company primarily explores for gold and silver, as well as base metal deposits, such as copper, lead, and zinc. It holds 73% interests in the Taviche project located San José mining district in Oaxaca, Mexico; and 100% interests the Greyhound project in the Churchill region of Nunavut, Canada. The company is headquartered in Manotick, Canada.

aura silver resources inc (AUU) Key Developments

Aura Silver Resources Inc. announced that it is in receipt of a land use permit issued by Aboriginal Affairs andNorthern Development Canada on June 15, 2015, which is valid for a two year period to June 14, 2017. The LUP was issued following an environmental screening of the proposed Greyhound project drill program by the Nunavut Impact Review Board that determined that the new LUP did not change the general scope of the original project activities previously in place. Further to this development, the company has received notice from Agnico Eagle Mines Limited that they will commence drilling on the Greyhound project, Nunavut by August 2015. A collaborative work effort has been completed in order to prioritize drill targets for the 2015 drill program at the Greyhound property. The gold, silver and base metal drill targets identified are based upon the company's prior data and analysis and


Agnico Eagle's interpretation of this data as well as the company's own interpretation of results from the 2014 field programs. Based on a comingling of both partners' analyses the company has established priority silver and gold targets in the Aura Lake area which are consistent with the company's previous targets which remain undrilled. Further, the Dingo prospect, which is located to the northeast of Aura Lake and just east of the all-weather road which leads to the Meadowbank mine further north, has yielded a gold target within a structurally complex area and a base metal, (specifically a copper target), defined by an extensive surface gossan. The company has been engaged in the exploration of this Archean Greenstone Belt focused on gold and silver since 2006. This belt ofancient and volcanic rocks is typical of many such belts throughout the Canadian Shield. As such, it was considered from the outset to have serious potential for gold, silver and base metal mineralization.

Shined On: The cover photo was shot during "the great blizzard of 1978," by a visiting photographer hired by Stiff. The mural is in Cuyahoga Falls.

Forty years ago, Akron had the most buzzed-about music scene in the world.

Warner's Jerry Wexler, a legend who coined the phrase "rhythm and blues" and who signed Led Zeppelin, came to town to scout and sign bands. Sire, Mercury and Capitol followed suit. The country's most famous rock critic, the Village Voice's Robert Christgau, visited from New York to see a show at a college bar and filed a 5,700-word feature about the scene.

Maybe it was a distraction from the glum news — in addition to the layoffs and factory closures, striking Teamsters had recently dumped 3,000 gallons of explosive naphtha into thecity sewer system, damaging two miles of roadway — or good old-fashioned homerism, but there was a sense, even within the mainstream local media, that these Rubber City kids could actually be doing something important.

"Promotion of 'The Akron Sound' will turn out to be either a fad which blows over, or a success which turns Akron into another Nashville," the Akron Beacon Journal wrote on April 16, 1978. The New Nashville was not to be: In 2010, Akron's most notable musician, Black Keys' singer Dan Auerbach, moved to the actual Nashville.

The highpoint of the era, and its most recognizable artifact, is a compilation record featuring Akron bands that was issued by a buzzy London label. That compilation — usually just called the Akron compilation, but occasionally referred to


by its actual title, Akron: Spirit of America — is probably best remembered for the rubber-scented scratch 'n' sniff sticker on its cover, and not for the music on it.

That's not for lack of potential. Among the bands that appear: The Waitresses, who went on to record the new wave hits "I Know What Boys Like" and "Christmas Wrapping"; Liam Sternberg, who assembled the compilation, wrote four songs on it, and later penned the Bangles' "Walk Like An Egyptian"; teenaged Rachel Sweet, who went on to make two full-length records and then moved to Hollywood, where she's been the executive producer of Hot in Cleveland and 2 Broke Girls; Tin Huey, who was signed to Warner Brothers for its debut, and whose saxophonist, the recently departed Ralph Carney,and who were deeply ensconced in the local scene didn't know who these bands were.

Why?

The picture that emerged is both a little odd and classic showbiz. The real story of the Akron compilation is about a cynical British record executive, an ambitious local kid who saw an opportunity to break into the music business, and a bunch of talented young people who were just happy to be part of something.

Here's the story in their own words.

***

The "Akron Sound" was a product of Akron's unique place as Cleveland's bonus level. The city is firmly and happily entrenched within the Cleveland media market, but claims its own distinctive culture. Akron is — ask LeBron, Dan Auerbach or David Giffels — not Cleveland. Except it kinda is. Musically, Akron wears the


influences of the Appalachians who moved north to work at the rubber factories, bringing their love of fried chicken, pontoon boats and Hank Williams. The Akron area also has two huge state universities, both of which have conservatories with jazz programs. In the late 1970s, suburban Kent had a vibrant downtown party-bar scene where bands, many made up of students at those conservatories, played marathon sets.

Chris Butler of Tin Huey and the songwriter behind the Waitresses: Cleveland had Scene. Cleveland had the WMMS and Belkin Brothers. The only attention we got from Cleveland was their trying to get us to buy concert tickets. There were no recording studios in Akron until someone bought a tape machine. Nobody was going to press our records, discover us, write about us.So it was really, by necessity, a DIY thing. We had to build everything from the ground up. And we did.

Liam Sternberg, songwriter and producer behind Jane Aire and Rachel Sweet: It was the era of Fleetwood Mac and stuff, where they were making tons of money making records and most of it was going up their noses. We felt like music had become plastic and the old fun of 45 rpm records had been lost, so we wanted to make great 45s.

Nick Nicholas, frontman of the Bizarros: We were lucky enough to have WMMS in the early days where you could hear stuff you never heard before, everything from Gabor Szabo to Captain Beefheart to Velvet Underground to old blues stuff you never knew existed. The long


winter nights: staying home, watching Ghoulardi on TV and having WMMS as a soundtrack ... Cleveland was arty all the time. Peru Ubu was the top of the mountain — there was nobody like them — everybody else up there was trying to look like they were cool. Whereas, Akron, we just wore jeans and hung out in basements and played music.

Ralph Carney, saxophonist for Tin Huey: Akron was less of a dark city. Cleveland with all the industry, there was something dark, and there still is — I love it, but it's different. It just seemed like they were a little more angry up there. More anger, less wacky.

Robert Christgau, speaking to the Akron Beacon Journal on April 16, 1978, a month after visiting Akron: I don'tdistinguish between Akron and Cleveland, but Akron probably has more good bands, perhaps because it's close to Kent State.

Out of that milieu sprang the rare art project that's totally unique and without obvious influence: Devo. The band was formed by Akron natives turned Kent State art students who were on campus for the May 4 shootings and the riotous protests that followed. That day, along with the closing of the rubber factories and the socioeconomic distress in their wake, was a formative experience for Mark Mothersbaugh and other Akron-area artists.

Butler: If you wanted to be an artist in Akron it was going to be real tough. And one way of dealing with tough is humor. Devo was very funny and satirical.


of pirates — lovable pirates. Their roster was like the island of broken toys, and none of the bands made any money but Stiff had great promotional ideas and threw great parties and a lot of the people they worked with were happy with that. They came to Akron with the idea of wooing Devo. And Devo, being very smart and savvy, were very cagey.

Robinson: I played ["Satisfaction"] for Chris Blackwell, who ran Island at the time, who was distributing us at the time in the U.K. and he's like, "God, that's extraordinary!" He became very excited about the idea of this unknown and extremely odd band, and he and I promptly got a flight to Akron with no real plan except that we'd get there, meet theA Cigarette." That song was written by Ted Harris, who'd moved to Kent for college from his native Long Island.

Harris: I had a full scholarship at Kent — I ran track in 1970. I got a 2S and it kept me out of the war. I ran track and it kept me from running through the rice paddies of Vietnam.

***

Harris grew up playing clarinet, but gave up when he started school. He resumed after dropping out and becoming a townie, joining a band called Terraplane, named for a Robert Johnson song. They played at the bar next to JB's in Kent, where they were on stage from 9 p.m. to 1 a.m. with set breaks. They did mostly covers, and were one of the first bands around to


play reggae.

Harris: I wrote that song because of another black performer in Akron, John Bassette, who wrote a song called "Weed and Wine" and that gave me the idea for that song. I was living at a farmhouse in Ravenna — it was called the Huffing Heifer Farm — and we were making homebrew, and I smoked cigarettes at the time. I was just enjoying a cigarette and a beer at the farmhouse where I was living. That's the first song I ever wrote.

Sternberg: It's probably my favorite track, too. "You can't deny it, you know it's true." That's a great line.

***

Sternberg's father was an Akron lawyer and jazz-lover, so the people he knew included Seward Thomas Davis III, who went by "Sniper," and Marty Block, a jazzbassist who'd played with Pat Pace, a jazz pianist that Liam's father and mother would often go to see — the elder Sternbergs were, reportedly, incredible dancers. From Block he got a song called "Mephistopheles' Passion," a vaguely prog-y piano-driven piece which was billed to a band called Idiots Convention. Sternberg brought the bands in to record on four tracks.

Robinson: The studios were demo quality and fairly cheap. Nobody was going to Akron to make a big rock record.

Block: We had gotten together the night before and we'd spent the night rehearsing and then crashed somewhere. It was January, and Liam had some horrible piece of shit car — a Real Fiat or something dumb like that. And the thing wouldn't start. It was miserable and it was


cold in Ohio in the winter. I'm under the hood, trying to get the carburetor going with a screwdriver and Liam's cranking. He looks at me and says, "Cars are such a bore." Just ... that's the guy he was. I said, "Well, crank this bore one more time before we freeze to death."

Sternberg: Sniper got together on the idea they could do it. [Seward] is a really good classical pianist that was at the conservatory of Akron, and he put it together because he knew we needed tracks.

The Bizarros

Marty Block: Idiots Convention was an actual band but the band on the recording was not the actual band because it had broken up by that time. That band was two guitars, bass, drums, singer andtwo trombones, both fine jazz players from Kent State. Strange-sounding band — we did a lot of originals and I did a lot of the writing for it. We played pretty steadily around Akron and colleges around Ohio for a couple years. ... Liam asked me if I had anything I wanted to do, and I liked "Mephistopheles' Passion."

***

Still short on bands, Sternberg resorted to using pen names on some of his contributions — such as Pietro Nardini, who is credited as the writer of Rachel Sweet's "Truckstop Queen." Sweet, who is now a television producer, was sort of a proto-Taylor Swift, a teenage prodigy with a big voice who straddled the line between country and pop. The offbeat song Sternberg wrote was perfect for her, the tale

Burke confirmed Wednesday that he will not pursue the two-time 50-goal sniper because Heatley went public with his trade demand.

"We're not going to be in on [Heatley]," Burke told the NHL Network. "I have certain guidelines about how players ask for trades."

Heatley, 28, has racked up 260 goals and 543 points in 507 games over seven NHL seasons since he was drafted second overall by the Atlanta Thrashers in 2000.

While Knicks president Phil Jackson must wait until mid-May, Pablo Prigioni feels as if he already won the lottery with his late February trade to Houston, which he admits now he requested.

Prigioni plans to be a coach when he retires, which could come after these playoffs. So his experience playing in Jackson’s triangle was “interesting,’’ he said, even if not his cup of tea.

Now the 38-year-old Argentine point guard is back running a Rockets offense he knows and prefers, saying it is similar to what Mike Woodson employed two seasons ago during the Knicks’ 54-28 campaign.

Prigioni has been a contributing piece off the Rockets bench and is awaiting their second-round opponent, either the Spurs or Clippers, after Houston routed Dallas in five games. Prigioni can become one offive players to appear in the second round of both conferences in the past three playoffs.

Rockets GM Daryl Morey traded for Prigioni at the Feb. 19 trade deadline, giving up two future second-rounders and Alexey Shved, as point-guard insurance. The insurance policy paid off after the season-ending injury to guard Patrick Beverley in late March.

“It was a big change for me – the first three, four months of the season was really tough, really hard for me,’’ Prigioni told The Post in a phone interview. “We were in the middle of a rebuilding. After the trade, everything changed. I got a little lucky to land on one of best teams in the West. I feel lucky we have this injury, very bad for [Patrick]. He was playing great.

History of the UFT Pre-Weingarten Years

This award-winning series of articles by Jack Schierenbeck originally appeared in the New York Teacher in 1996 and 1997.

Naturally, from a certain point of view. But, despite certain biases, Schierenbeck, a great guy, was one of the best NY Teacher reporters so this is worth reading. Jack suffered a debilitating stroke many years ago (I used to get secret donations to ed notes from him through a 3rd source.)

“The schism in the union over radical politics [is] a major reason for stalling the growth of a teacher union for decades.” Revolutionary politics and ideology take center stage, as the original Teachers Union becomes a battlefield, pitting leftist against leftist and splitting the union.

Clarence Taylor's "Reds at the Blackboard" focused onthe old Teachers Union which disbanded in 1964 after suffering from anti-left attacks.

They are so bereft of leaders, their de facto leader is a former drug addicted, thrice-divorced radio talk show host. That is literally the best they can muster.

Chicago View of Unity/UFT on Charters

After many meetings and debates, the Chicago delegation succeeded in working with the New York United Federation of Teachers, Local 2 (UFT) to push the AFT to take stronger stands on charter school accountability and school closings — though many delegates from Chicago


would have liked the language to have been even stronger.

Generally speaking, the New York delegation represented organizing charters as the best model for handling their role in reshaping unions, despite the fact that according to many reports few charter schools in New York have been organized as is the case in Chicago. This logic is the same touted by the Progressive Caucus of the AFT. The few that have been organized are a part of the UFT local though they have separate contracts negotiated with the help of UFT. The Chicago delegation reflection the mindset that allowing new charters to continue to proliferate while attempting to organize existing charters is an end game in which public schools and the union lose.

Chinese security forces mobilised to suppress protests in eastern China, a monitoring group and eyewitnesses said on Thursday, in the latest bout of unrest gripping parts of the country.

The unrest in Taizhou, Zhejiang province, broke out on Tuesday after the head of a local village government confronted petrol station staff during talks over land compensation fees that the station's owner was due to pay villagers, the reports said.

Within hours, hundreds of fellow residents of Rishanfen village had surrounded the petrol station, blocked an adjacent airport expressway, and seized a man who had struck the village leader, according to the owner of a nearby factory, who witnessed the events.

Riot police clashed with villagers, said thefactory owner, who spoke on condition of anonymity. Reinforcements arrived on Wednesday and officers detained about a dozen people, including the chief, other village officials and anyone found with images of the protest on their mobile phones, the man said.

Police and government officials in Taizhou were unavailable for comment.

As with many of the protests across China, the Taizhou incident appears rooted in disagreements over compensation for land seized for development.

The Hong Kong-based Information Center for Human Rights and Democracy said villagers squeezed by soaring inflation had been hoping for an increase in payments from businesses in the industrial park, including the gas station. The factory owner, however, said many believed that compensation offered by the petrol station had been embezzled by the former head of Rishanfen, now the


local Communist party secretary – a much more powerful position.

The incident was the third large-scale outburst of unrest in recent days, mainly fuelled by anger over corruption.

Police arrested at least 25 people following weekend rioting in Xintang in the manufacturing powerhouse province of Guangdong. Security forces there clashed with migrant workers from the south-western province of Sichuan.

On Wednesday, a woman was arrested for spreading rumours of the death of a migrant blamed for fuelling the violence, local police said.

Last week, residents of Lichuan, in the central province of Hubei, laid siege to government offices following the death in custody of a local city council member. A number of local government officials have been fired or placed under investigation over the death in an attempt to assuage public anger.

Thoughthe triggers for the events are different, most are driven by common resentments over social inequality, abuse of power and suppression of legitimate grievances.

The Communist party leadership has reacted nervously to the wave of protests, especially after popular uprisings began sweeping the Middle East and north Africa this year. In recent months, hundreds of government critics have been questioned, arrested or simply disappeared.

International Committee

WASHINGTON, DC—An International Peoples Tribunal (IPT) looking into the human rights abuses in the Philippines under the administration of Benigno Simeon Aquino III is set to take place in Washington, DC on July 16-18. Former US Congresswoman Cynthia McKinney and prominent human rights attorney Azadeh Shahshahani will be amongst the distinguished panel of jurors who will hear live testimonies of witnesses from the Philippines. Conveners of the tribunal include the International Coalition for Human Rights in the Philippines, the National Lawyers Guild, the International Association of Democratic Lawyers, and Ibon International.

NLG demands that Israel's West Bank military governor rescind the outrageous order.

Today, the National Lawyers Guild (NLG) and nine other human rights organizations sent a letter to President Obama and White House officials asking them to demand Israel cease the practice of abuse and unlawful detention of Palestinians and conduct a full investigation into the severe beating and unlawful detention by Israeli police of U.S.-born, 15-year-old Tariq Abu Khdeir.

families, and phyla. Unfortunately, HGT complicates the picture, because HGT 'scrambles' the evidence needed to deduce the branching patterns of evolutionary trees. One area of current research in phylogenetic inference, and arguably one of the most challenging problems in evolutionary theory, is the early stages in the evolution of life. This quandary about the origins of different cell types provides a good illustration of the complications introduced by HGT into the reconstruction of evolutionary history.

The main early branches of the tree of life have been intensively studied by microbiologists because the first organisms were microrganisms. A gene very often used for constructing phylogenetic relationships in microorganisms is the small ribosomal subunit ribosomal RNA (SSU rRNA) gene, as its sequences tend to be conserved among members with close phylogeneticdistances, yet it is variable enough that differences can be measured.[18] The use of SSU rRNA to measure evolutionary "distances" was pioneered by Carl Woese when formulating the first modern 'tree of life', and his results led him to propose the Archaea (single celled organisms superficially similar to bacteria) as a third domain (sub-kingdom) of life.

Microbiologists introduced the term domain for the three main early branches of the tree of life, where domain is a phylogenetic term very similar in meaning to biological kingdom. These represent the three main lineages in evolution of early cellular life, and are currently represented


(―The department of correction is authorized
to promulgate necessary rules and regulations to facilitate the implementation of
[executions by lethal injection].‖). The TDOC has since amended the Protocol twice. On
September 24, 2014, the Protocol was amended to specify that the lethal injection drug to
be used would be compounded pentobarbital rather than manufactured pentobarbital. On
June 25, 2015, the Protocol was amended by incorporating a contract between the TDOC
and a pharmacist for the provision of the compounded pentobarbital. Our references to
the Protocol include these amendments.

       On November 20, 2013, Stephen Michael West, Billy Ray Irick, Nicholas Todd
Sutton, and David Earl Miller filed a declaratory judgment action in the Chancery Court
for Davidson County, Tennessee, against the Defendants with regard to the Protocol.
Additional death row inmates later werebeings.
(Emphasis added).
       Dr. James Hoffman Ruble, Associate Professor at the University of Utah College
of Pharmacy, testified about the differences between manufactured and compounded
drugs. Manufactured drugs are regulated by the Food and Drug Administration, but
compounded drugs are not. Dr. Ruble explained that manufactured pentobarbital ―is not
available in the United States for purposes of lethal injection.‖
        After a number of people died from the injection of contaminated compounded
drugs, the United States Pharmacopeia adopted General Chapter 797 (―USP 797‖). USP
797 regulates the compounding of sterile pharmaceutical preparations. The LIC called
for in the Protocol is a compounded sterile pharmaceutical preparation. To prepare the
LIC, the compounding pharmacist must begin with bulk powdered pentobarbital. 7 This
chemical is then mixed with ―a


that, if the LIC were prepared, handled, transported, and labeled
as required, there was a low risk that the LIC would precipitate or be unfit for use,
―[a]ssuming that the pharmacist has the adequate experience in compounding and
understanding of the regulations.‖ Importantly, he also acknowledged that, in rendering
his opinion that the Protocol failed to provide sufficient safeguards, he presumed that
USP 797 was not going to be entirely complied with.
        Dr. Larry D. Sasich, a faculty member at Idaho State University‘s Pharmacy
Program and a member of the Federal Drug Administration‘s Advisory Committee, also
testified on behalf of the Plaintiffs. He stated that compounding the LIC could result in a
dose contaminated with bacteria, fungi, and ―cross-contaminants.‖ Dr. Sasich also

being declared dead within thirty minutes of the first injection of pentobarbital. Based on

        10
            Three of these executions were conducted by Georgia in December 2014 and January 2015.
The records of these executions admitted as exhibits do not indicate the source of the pentobarbital used
in these executions. However, the United States Court of Appeals for the Eleventh Circuit has indicated
that, as of December 8, 2015, Georgia had executed seven inmates using compounded pentobarbital. See
Terrell v. Bryson, 807 F.3d 1276, 1279 (11th Cir. 2015), petition for cert. docketed, (U.S. Dec. 8, 2015).


  Ten of these executions were conducted by Ohio between March 2011 and September 2013.
The records of these executions admitted as exhibits do not identify the source of the pentobarbital.

        Seventeen of these executions were conducted by Texas between October 2013 and March 2015.
The records of these executions admitted as exhibits do not identify the source of the pentobarbital.
However, the United States Court of Appeals for the Fifth Circuit has stated that ―Texas has used
compounded pentobarbital to execute thirty-two prisoners since 2013 . . . .‖ Wood v. Collier, 836 F.3d
534, 537 (5th Cir. 2016).

first injection began, ―It does kind of burn. Good-bye.‖ Mr. Villegas gasped several
times and then ceased moving.
        The Defendants also called Dr. Roswell Lee Evans, Jr., the dean of, and professor
in, the Department of Pharmacy Practice at Auburn University. Dr. Evans stated that he
is a pharmacist licensed in Georgia. Dr. Evans opined that the proper intravenous
administration of five grams of pentobarbital ―would induce a coma and death shortly
thereafter.‖ He also opined that it was ―unlikely‖ that the inmate ―would experience very
much pain

being talked about in Congress. Rep. Peter DeFazio (D-OR), who has sponsored the anti-troll SHIELD Act, cited the operation as a perfect example of why the system needs reform. After publishing a story on the scanner-trolling scheme, Ars heard from letter recipients and their lawyers from around the country—Idaho and Texas, California and South Dakota.

Before the AdzPros and GosNels took over, the patents were owned by an entity called Project Paperless, which threatened dozens of businesses in Virginia and Georgia. Project Paperless ultimately filed two lawsuits, prosecuted by lawyers at Hill, Kertscher, and Wharton, an Atlanta firm with complex connections to the patents. In late 2012, Project Paperless sold the patents to MPHJ Technology Investments. Today, the anonymous owner of MPHJ operates GosNel, AdzPro, JitNom, and at leastunder US law. As a business strategy, however, it has generally been considered unworkable—and unwise.

Well, until now. As the art of modern "patent trolling" enters its second decade, the MPHJ scanner-trolling scheme has opened a new front in the battle. The company has a patent that it believes is being violated by "99 percent" of American office workers. And it wants to get paid.

“99 percent of people are using it. You know it and I know it.”

Mac Rust is one of a few lawyers who gets certain "territories" of the MPHJ patent scheme. A person who had a conversation with Rust in January about alleged violations of the MPHJ patents—I'll call the source Mr. Smith—gave Ars a recording of his phone call. The recording was made with Rust's

CURRENT COSTS AND DRUG AVAILABILLITY
------------------------------------

Currently, SOF, produced by Gilead as Sovaldi®, has been marketed at a price of \$1,000 per pill or \$84,000 for the whole 12-week course of medication, and costs are further increased by the need for drug combinations. This has made the drug inaccessible for thousands of people suffering from HCV worldwide, especially in countries with poor health care systems in place and where patients have to pay the whole cost from their own pockets. This has been a very distressing issue for both the physician and the patient population globally. Many civil society organizations and agencies have advocated that the price of this new medication be reducedThis invention relates to elevators for use in commercial aircraft having multiple cabin levels and, more particularly relates to a personnel elevator that will carry passengers and personnel between the cabin levels of the aircraft as well as to and from ground level outside the aircraft.
With the advent of large commercial aircraft, particularly those having multiple cabin levels, it has become desirable to provide an elevator system for moving passengers and personnel between the cabin levels of the aircraft. In the case of an aircraft for government officials or other public figures, it is also desirable to provide the aircraft with access and egress means that not only quickly move the VIP passenger between ground level and the inside of the aircraft, but that also protects the VIP

I loved The Fox and the Hound as a kid. I remember watching it while my parents and their colleagues packed up the house, so we could move across town. The TV and VCR were among the last things packed. Besides the awesome action and moral, one of the reasons I liked it so much was Tod’s human, Widow Tweed.

She was voiced by the talented actress, Jeannette Nolan– who had been in film for nearly 40 years at this point. She played tough frontier andmountain women, too– most notably in The Man Who Shot Liberty Valance, and The Twilight Zone episode “Jess-Belle.” She could do sympathetic, unsympathetic… you name it. She brings a ton of energy, style, and brass to this animated woman.

It’s believable that this dairy farmer would take in an orphaned fox kit. When she interacts with Tod and names him the audience gets a sense of how lonely she was. She can’t stay mad at him when he accidentally causes a ruckus in the barn.

But she has a ton of grit. When her neighbor, Amos, starts shooting at Tod (and by extent Tweed– the fox was in the back of her truck), she slams on the brakes and stands in the path of the oncoming car! She doesn’t back


down– whether from his yelling, the older dog Chief’s snarling, the fact that she might very easily get hit. She puts up with Amos’ sexism (he only ever calls her “woman”) and kicks him out of her house when he barges into her house looking for Tod after Chief gets a broken leg.

Realizing that Tod can’t be safe living next door to Amos and his dogs, she then makes the difficult, heartbreaking decision to release him on the game preserve. She has a lovely monologue during the drive that expresses perfectly how she feels, without becoming maudlin. But she never wavers when she has to drive away. Tod’s collar and leash comes off. She hugs him and goes away. Interestingly the movie never has the fox express anyApologise To Parliament, Not To Air India Manager, Says Sena MP | Read

are protected, and it is so. There are a number of methods which facilitate this.

Essentially by visualising a magical barrier surrounding oneself, and concentrating on the idea that it will protect you from malicious influences, this has the effect of actually repelling such forces. The most famous method of forming such a magical barrier is the Lesser Banishing Ritual of the Pentagram, which was originally devised by the Golden Dawn.

The casting of the circle in Wicca is itself a circle of protection which protects all the participants whilst they are taking part in a particular ritual.

In his book, Auras: What They Are and How To Read Them, the author Joseph Ostrom describes several Aura meditations which are effectively protection rituals. For example, visualising oneself in a gold-metallic aura:harder. Stroking and jerking me, she pulled off her dress. Fingered her sweet little twat with one hand and my cock in the other. Then got on top of me and rubbed her sweet bald pussy on my hard shaft, hitting her tiny clit as she humped me like a pillow on a school night. Hopping off just in time to jerk me off and watch me cum. The excitement in her eyes and her sweet young hands, body and pussy all over me were completely worth the risk. Being a good step-dad has its perks.

At the time of the American Revolutionary we were in a time period where intense, but controlled individualism was the dominating disposition of most people. Remember, most of the colonists had come here to escape some type of oppression. An important fact, by the way, I believe we need to remember today! This was a time when self-directing responsible individuals again and again decided for themselves what they should do, and did it without needing anyone else to give them anELT Conference Calendar
