LA Food Bank
By JUSTIN NGUYEN, BY
Once upon a time, a bunch of lovely people from PsiEK got together one rainy Saturday to volunteer for the LA Food Bank, specifically by helping to create all of the food packages that go to feed people in need. The day we went, we were preparing boxes of food for an underserved elderly home. While it wasn't directly related to music, if you think about it in an abstract way, the assembly line of volunteers putting these packages together was its own sort of music, with all sorts of off-tempo banging, clanking, taping, and grunting noises that came together to form a sort of hyper-experimental operatic banger.
When we arrived, we were given a quick presentation about the importance of food banking, and we were then assigned to various groups. I was assigned to the "BOXES" group, while others received fun labels like "JUICE" or "TAPE." Being part of the "BOXES" group was pretty fun though, because it was essentially a free workout. We were at the end of the food box assembly line, and once the boxes were taped up by other volunteers, we hoisted these boxes onto pallets and stacked them up high in a stable, alternating pattern. And that's how it went for roughly 3 hours, stacking boxes and regretting wearing a sweater inside this huge warehouse.
Once our time was up, we were all called together again and told how many food boxes we had assembled for this elderly community. While I can't quite recall the exact number, it was
shockingly large. The work that day was really tiring, yet simultaneously incredibly rewarding,
because everyone was constantly doing something, and it was all for a great cause. Hopefully
we'll return to the LA Food Bank as a yearly thing. And maybe next time we'll bring our
instruments or something and play PRESSURE.

Neighbors optimistic about Hill District development plans
Updated: November 20, 2019 - 6:40 PM
PITTSBURGH — A once-thriving Hill District area could soon be getting a new lease on life.
People are feeling optimistic about the proposals, saying they want the project to benefit everyone.
Channel 11 drove the Centre Avenue corridor in the Hill and found several of the buildings were vacant and abandoned.

So far, 11 developers have submitted proposals to the Pittsburgh Urban Redevelopment Authority saying they want to upgrade the Middle Hill.

People living in the neighborhood their entire lives told us they're thrilled developers are giving the area second chance, but they hope the projects are for the long term and don't force lifelong residents out.
"Do the right thing about the people of the Hill District. That's all. Do the right thing instead of coming in here always wanting to develop something and then they'll tell you they'll do it, but after a while it's gone," Hill District resident Barbara Griffin said.
"When you start to build, make sure that you have room for affordable housing. Low-income housing," another resident Ron Lee Johnson said.
You can hear the proposals this Saturday at the Jeron X Grayson Center.

At least 65.6 million people "have been forcibly displaced either within their own countries or across borders" based on recent figures from the United Nations refugee agency, UNHCR. That's one in every 113 people in the world. Six years of fighting have forced five million people out of Syria, 6.3 million displaced internally. Their lives, their hopes and aspirations have undergone unimaginable change. This is not made easier when those in host countries see only the numbers in the media, and forget that each person was leading a life we take for granted, before circumstances threatened everything.
The Refugee Food Festival hope to change perceptions towards refugees by showcasing talented cooks, their passion for food, and encouraging communication from the kitchen to the table. Originally founded in Paris, the festival takes place around June 20, World Refugee Day. This year, ten European cities opened their kitchens to bring people together through food.
27-year old Syrian Yamen Makzoum is fully focused as he smooths hummus around small serving bowls, his precision showing his 13 years in the kitchen.
Makzoum has lived in the Netherlands for a year and a half, and his language skills put many long-term non-dutch residents to shame. He is quietly determined and his culinary vocabulary surprises the Dutch guests.
Whilst he has worked as a sous-chef in French and Italian restaurants in Syria and Lebanon, for Makzoum, Arabic cuisine is his passion.
I like to cook Arabic food because it's really nice, really fresh. We don't use a lot of spices.
The reasons for us being there vary. For one, it is to discover new flavours and to be inspired by Syrian cuisine. A Lebanese woman misses the flavours both Syrian and Lebanese food have in common. One couple there know Makzoum personally and have combined their support and a birthday present for the husband.
We begin with a beautiful table of Hummus, Tabbouleh and Fetteh, a dish of warm yoghurt, tangy tahini and soft chickpeas. Deep-fried pita bread pieces are scattered over the top. "Do you fry them in oil?" one of the guests asks.
A little bit oil, and ghee. That (ghee) is normally coming from the Netherlands. […] Arabic people, they say, 'that is from the Netherlands, that is the best'. But here, nobody knows it!
Makzoum chuckles and the room erupts into laughter and surprise. "Dutch people don't use ghee," another guest remarks. It is amusing that an ingredient unheard of in Dutch Cuisine is exported into other countries as a respected, staple item.
A dish of lamb, rice and aubergine follows soon after. It is all shared out on the table, and moments of quiet ensue as we scoop helpings onto our plates.
Dessert is Halawet el Jibn, a Syrian dessert. It is made with a mozzarella and semolina dough, filled with ricotta, rose water and orange blossom. A sugar syrup is drizzled on top and decorated with pistachios. They are divinely light and Makzoum makes roll after roll, feeding everybody in the room until they are fit to burst. He then takes the remainder downstairs to share with the rest of the restaurant.
For Makzoum, this evening's menu shows his passion and ties to his home cuisine. "I don't like a lot of modern kitchen as they take away that history". He tells us that although he has had professional experience cooking other cuisines, he says his relationship with Arabic food and its history is what makes it so special.
The evening was primarily a celebration of Syrian flavours, recognising Makzoum's talents, and showing that there is more to a person than a label, refugee. However, as a result, it also brought eight relatively unknown people together to the table as guests. Breaking bread over our commonalities, when many feel divided. Regardless of our backgrounds, and opinions, food is a language we all share. Something the Refugee Food Festival highlighted perfectly.

William Amed Demasson, a carpenter and wheelwright by trade, was one of Toodyay's citizens who made a substantial contribution to the civic life of the town. Among the many organizations that he belonged to, he is particularly associated with the formation of a branch of the Independent Order of Oddfellows Manchester Unity in Toodyay, or Newcastle, as it was known at the time.

Demasson was born in Guildford on 14 May 1853 to James Amed and Eliza Jane (née Cook). He worked as a carpenter, wheelwright and contractor in Guildford and around 1872 married Sarah Dudley (1847-1874) of Northam, daughter of John and Ann Dudley. In 1872 a daughter Esther Ann was born. Sarah died in 1874 while giving birth to their second child, a son William Amed, who also died.

By 1875 Demasson was living in Toodyay. He became actively involved in the town's activities, and in March 1877 became a foundation member of the Newcastle branch of the Independent Order of Oddfellows, a benevolent global organization that used members' contributions to provide assistance in times of sickness and need. As such it attracted a number of members to its cause. Demasson was its first and only secretary, serving the organization for 42 years before it was disbanded.

In 1877 Demasson and W. Donegan were elected to represent the East Ward following Newcastle becoming a municipality in that year. He continued to serve as a town councillor for about 16 years.  The first meeting of the council was held in the Mechanics' Institute building. Demasson was the secretary of the Mechanics' Institute for 20 years. He also became a justice of the peace, serving the Toodyay and Northam Magisterial Districts for 22 years.

In January 1879 Demasson married Lavinia Stevens (1856-1947), the daughter of William and Marianne (née Chapman). The couple had five children: Laura Lavinia (b.1880), Edith Grace (1882) who died in 1886 of diphtheria, Amy Constance (1884), Ruth Marianne (b.1889) and Chapman (b.1894). Some years later, in 1906, there was another outbreak of diphtheria; Demasson and the builder Joseph Ablett Wroth had the task of making many small coffins.

At first the couple and their newborn daughter lived in a Pensioner Guard cottage while Demasson built "some rooms on a position of land he had bought, in the main street". The rooms referred to were for the building locally known as Dr O'Reilly's house. Their home was completed before the birth of their second child in February 1882. When the third child Amy was born in September 1884 Demasson was adding rooms to the house. It was on a deep block that enabled him to build his workshop as well as stables for his horses at the back. Lavinia established a flower garden.
According to Lavinia's memoirs, the front room was turned "into a small store, by making shelves all round, and counters etc… and I looked after it myself with Ettie helping…". The shop within the house proved to be inconvenient so Demasson bought the shop next door from Daniel Connor and joined it to his house with a connecting door, to form Demasson's House and Shop.

During this time Demasson continued to work as a building contractor. He won the government contract to renovate the old convict buildings where the courthouse, post office and school were located. In 1887 he built the Old Newcastle School. He also bought land from the Deepdale Estate with a frontage along the Avon River and planted grapevines and fruit trees, "meaning later to build a house to live in".

At some point Demasson appears to have ceased his building trade to become a storekeeper, before retiring . It may have been at this time that he and Lavinia moved to "Keynsham" on Julimar Road, the property he had developed along the river. "Keynsham", also known as "Keynsham Orchard", became well known for its orchard and vineyardand Demasson became a member of the Fruitgrowers' Association and a committee member of the statewide co-operative Winegrowers Association. This organization had been formed as a result of competition from South Australia.

In 1924, Demasson became seriously ill. The couple decided to sell "Keynsham" and moved back into town to live with their daughter and son-in-law T.J. Donegan. Demasson died at their home of a cerebral haemorrhage on 14 May 1924. He was buried in the Church of England section of Toodyay's cemetery.

Contribution to the town's renaming

Apart from his direct contributions to Toodyay, Demasson indirectly contributed to the renaming of Newcastle to Toodyay. Around 1908 or earlier, he had ordered a French domed ormolu clock from London, but it was mistakenly delivered to Newcastle, New South Wales  as were many items around that time. The clock was unclaimed in New South Wales, but chanced upon by John Forrest (then serving in Federal parliament), who knew Demasson and realised that the clock had been sent to the wrong Newcastle. This incident is known to have contributed to the call for changing the town's name to Toodyay.

A laboratory information system, or LIS, is a software program that provides all the basic functionality needed for a clinical laboratory, whether that laboratory is hospital-based or a standalone commercial laboratory facility. Various components of the LIS will handle patient check-in, order entry, results entry, physician and patient demographics, specimen processing, and have some level of reporting ability.
Legacy laboratory information systems are typically homegrown, that is, they were developed within the organization 20 or 30 years ago, or were purchased "off the shelf." Homegrown systems and legacy systems often have problems with connectivity, scalability and flexibility, especially as technology changes within the laboratory and healthcare industry. Off-the-shelf products often force laboratories to modify their workflow to adapt to the LIS, rather than the other way around. Also, numerous LIS vendors have gone out of business or shifted their focus to other areas in the last two decades. Often legacy LISes utilize multiple databases, which create a great deal of difficulty with database interfaces and data synchronization.
Newer LISes are increasingly able to offer what laboratories need: modular-based systems with customizable functionality, scalability and a high level of adaptable connectivity for both institutional electronic medical records (EMRs) and physician access. Laboratories also require a LIS to to interface with the laboratory's instrumentation, which allows patient results to be directly entered into the database and then into the EMR; Web-based order entry/result inquiry; and workload balancing. The LIS often has non-clinical functionality such as workflow monitoring and billing services.
In addition, these systems need to be customizable, be able to effectively and easily interface with both the institution's electronic health record, the laboratory's automated equipment, and provide Web-based access for physicians.
The environment for health information technology, specifically LISes, requires adherence to a number of national and international standards including CLIA, CCHIT, ANSI, HL7, HITSP, and LOINC.

My interest in beekeeping started as a small wave of curiosity. I had always heard about beekeeping growing up in central texas but I never truly understood what was involved. I thought it was only available to people who had lots of land, certifications related to beekeeping or years of experience. Beekeeping stayed as an unattainable dream in the back of my head for years. As an adult, I was living in a large city in an apartment, so, at that time, it was clearly a dream.
As time moved on, the words local, raw and organic became everyday words associated with everyday food. I started to read scary stories about imported manufactured honey coming in from overseas. Stories about the diminishing honey bee population, pesticides, manicured lawns made from grasses imported from other continents. My desire to get involved with bees was growing. I knew I could learn and somehow become a beekeeper.
It was all still debatable until Christmas Eve. My husband got me a hive smoker and a bee suit. He said "Ok, here you go, now you have to figure it out, no more excuses." That's when my journey really began. Granted, I had a three month old baby but I was determined to get ready for the upcoming spring. Somehow I knew I had to get prepared asap. It turns out that there was a local business that offered 1 day informative classes. I signed up immediately. So on a Saturday I loaded up my breast pump and my crisp new white bee suit and headed down the highway for my first taste of beekeeping.
One day was all it took for me to be in love with beekeeping and I ordered my package of bees the same day. That gave me a deadline to obtain all my gear before the nuc delivery in the spring. I will admit, I work best under a deadline. I bought beekeeping books, searched for articles, videos and anything I could find to try and learn everything I could about beekeeping.
Everything went well with my nuc installation that April and I had a thriving hive. I was happy and I felt like I was finally doing something meaningful for honey bees. With every hive check I felt more comfortable and confident. Honestly, I was nervous before each hive check for a year. Specifically because of the monitoring involved with a nuc and I was doing something new for each season.
The most important thing to remember is that you can never know everything upfront. As with any skill or craft the best knowledge is hands on and through experience. Even after years of beekeeping, I know I don't know everything. I welcome every opportunity to learn and improve. If sharing what I know and have experienced will help anyone, I will gladly do so.
I encourage you to take a class or spend some time with a beekeeper and give yourself the opportunity to be near the hum and buzz of a hive. The smell of honey drifting toward you as you approach a hive is intoxicating. Sitting next to hive to watch all the activity is mesmerizing. Visit a bee hive and you too will fall in love with the honey bee.

Moderating global growth as policymakers grapple with persistent inflation
Global economic growth looks likely to continue in 2022, albeit at a more modest pace. The COVID-19 pandemic does, however, add uncertainty to the outlook, as evidenced by the recent emergence of the Omicron variant.
Omicron's higher transmissibility and infection rates have affected both supply chains and labour markets across the globe. That said, current hospitalisation and death rates appear to be significantly lower than was witnessed earlier in the pandemic. The economic impact of this variant may, therefore, be relatively modest and short-lived.
Several major central banks are now tightening monetary policy. Pandemic-related supply disruptions combined with strong demand for goods are creating inflationary pressure that is more sustained than had been expected.
The rapid pace of growth is widely expected to moderate in 2022
As at 31 October 2021. Source: Bloomberg economists consensus estimates
Headline inflation in the US surged to a near 40-year high as the Consumer Price Index hit 7.0% in December 2021. Five-year break-even inflation rates were close to 3% at year-end 2021, having started the year near 2%. This rate indicates the average inflation required over the life of a bond for TIPS and nominal US Treasuries to generate the same total returns and, therefore, is indicative of the level of inflation that US bond markets are pricing in through 2026.
Expectations around future interest rate hikes have changed dramatically. Among both US Federal Reserve (Fed) policymakers and market participants, there's been growing recognition that uncomfortably high inflation — well above the Fed's 2% core personal consumption expenditure target — may persist throughout 2022.
The Fed conceded that inflation may not be as transitory as it anticipated. Indeed, in response to a question about his persistent use of the term "transitory" in earlier statements, Fed Chair Jerome Powell said: "It's probably a good time to retire that word." In December 2021, the Fed said it would double the speed of tapering, which began the month before. This quicker reduction in its bond buying puts the Fed on track to end its purchases in March 2022.
US financial conditions are very loose, but that may change soon
Metric for US financial conditions compiled by Goldman Sachs (from various measures, including the level of interest rates and the strength of the US dollar) through December 2021. Source: Goldman Sachs
The Fed's dot plot indicates three hikes in 2022 — each one a quarter-point followed by the same increase in 2023. Market pricing for fed funds-related futures contracts did not initially adjust to reflect this accelerated timeline for interest rate hikes. This disconnect, which may well be seen again, could indicate market participants are weighing how tightening financial conditions affect economic activity and, by implication, Fed policy.
US financial conditions remain historically loose, though they should tighten as economic momentum from the strong rebound of 2021 fades and central bank policy support diminishes. Beyond tighter monetary policy, pandemic-related economic friction in the US and other economies could lead to slower than expected global growth.
Inflation hit new multiyear highs in the US, UK and eurozone
*Flash estimate by Eurostat, the statistical office of the European Union. Latest available month-end data for the US and eurozone (December 2021) and the UK and Japan (November 2021). Source: Bloomberg
The European Central Bank will likely lag the Fed's actions around tapering and rate hikes. Infection rates and illness due to the Omicron variant increased in Europe earlier than in North America. Several European governments reversed course on their relaxation of restrictions. Limitations were placed on businesses and social gatherings, including vaccination status-related measures.

(Tuesday, Oct. 20, 2020; 10:30 PM EST) In America's capitalist system, an economic cycle entails destruction of businesses and their replacement with better businesses. It's survival-of-the-fittest, a process in which the ranks of businesses are periodically thinned by recessions.
The Covid recession, early evidence suggests, is leading to a boom in entrepreneurialism. "The pandemic has had all sorts of unexpected consequences, from a boom in sourdough-bread baking to more people listening to nostalgic music on Spotify," according to The Economist, (October 10, 2020). "Less noticed is a once-in-a-generation surge in startups."
So here's an important strategic tax tip for anyone who just started a business or who's about to do so: Plan now to transfer your ownership to your family.
To be clear, your new business may succeed! Capitalism is dynamic which keeps the American dream alive. Businesses that failed in the Covid crisis are going to spawn the launch of businesses that will succeed and ride the wave of growth in the next economic cycle. If you plan to succeed, and, if your business does indeed boom in the next economic cycle, it is wise to plan now to transfer assets to your children, charities, and what's important to you. You can set up your company tax-efficiently right now to minimize taxes many years from now for your heirs.
The U.S. debt has skyrocketed and estate taxes are expected to be higher in the years ahead. Planning for success of a new business and minimizing taxes on its transfer to the next generation could result in considerable tax savings, especially in the event of a Democratic sweep on November 3. A victory by Democrats is expected to slash the amount of estate assets exempt from estate tax from $11.58 million to $5.75 million, or lower. By forming the company and managing the selection of shareholders with this in mind from the time of initial formation of your company, you will have more control over the tax-efficient transfer of your business if it's successful.

Philosophy: Journals
What is a journal?
A journal is a scholarly publication containing articles written by researchers, academics and other experts in the field of study. Unlike newspapers and magazines, journals are intended for an academic or technical audience, not general readers. They are published on a regular basis (monthly, quarterly, etc.) and are sequentially numbered. Each copy is an issue; a set of issues makes a volume (usually, each year is a separate volume)
Newspapers may be a useful source of information. UKZN Library subscribes to a number of newspaper websites and newspaper databases.
SA News on Sabinet provides scanned newspaper articles from a wide range of South African newspapers and the Newspaper gateway provides access to a useful range of newspapers from around the world. Iolnews is a useful online source of South African news. See also the UKZN Library's newspaper page.
You can also read the daily papers and search their archives by clicking on the following links:

UKZN Library offers an Interlibrary loan (ILL) facility through which copies of journal articles may also be requested. If it cannot be scanned and emailed there is a fee for this.
For more information please consult the following ILL guides:
Open Access (OA) is the practice of providing unrestricted access via the internet to peer reviewed scholarly journal articles.
Taylor & Francis Open Access Journals
Scholarly or academic journals are important resources of academic research for assignment writing as they contain up-to-date, specific and often in-depth information. Like newspapers and magazines, journals are also called periodicals or serials. Journals can be in print, online or both.
Scholarly journals contain articles that have been critiqued by scholars/experts in the same field to ensure particular academic standards have been met.
Most journal articles ...
are peer reviewed
have original research
focus on current developments
cite other works and have bibliographies
The best and most efficient way of finding articles in peer-reviewed journals is to search the online databases (see the tabe above). Here, by doing an advanced search, you can often limit the search to "peer-reviewed articles only" or "scholarly articles only".
The online databases can be found on the Databases A - Z list

Teaching is the definition of a labor of love. Low pay, over-emphasis on tests, long (and often unpaid) hours, and questionable district/state/federal mandates can drive many teachers to a place of negativity. However, we must make sure we are making profound efforts to rise above this.
As I mentioned in my previous post, I want this year to be different. I want it to be different for the students, but I also want it to be different for my colleagues and me. Last year, we were told we were in danger of losing accreditation. This took a large toll on all parties involved, and morale was way down. I would joke last year that I loved my job from 8-3, but hated it outside of those hours. There was certainly an element of truth to that, but I don't want to do that again this year.
Our class motto is "We don't make excuses, we make changes." We say it every morning to close our morning meeting. I would be a hypocrite if I didn't live it myself. In talking with my friend and EduRoadTrip podcast co-host, Mari Venturino, we developed the concept of Fly High Friday.
What is Fly High Friday? The vision was to bring together the staffs of our schools to celebrate success and positivity from our week. This would be an optional event so it wasn't forced and fake. I partnered with my school counselor on it and we sent out the email inviting all to come.
We decided to meet before school on a Friday for fifteen minutes. The first week went really well and I was happy we were off to a good start. Each week, we have had fluctuating amounts of people, but seem to have a strong core group. We have a website set up for those who can't make it to the morning session and have a TodaysMeet chat room set up so the conversation can last all day.
It is very refreshing to start off my final day of the week on a positive note. I get to hear great things that other teachers are doing and can share my students' successes in my own room. Other teachers reflect the same feelings. It's amazing what a shift in mindset can do.
You can join in the sharing too! On Fridays, tweet out your own positive messages about your week using #flyhighfri. I would encourage you to start a face-to-face meeting in your own school as well! Pick a day that works for you: Mindfulness Monday, Thinking Positive Thursday, or anything else you can think of. Let's end our weeks strong and on a high note!

Q: raise exception in django oauth toolkit I'm using Django 2.x and django-oauth-toolkit to generate access token.
I have written a custom token view to run a few checks on the account and then generate access token to the user. If custom check fails, I want to raise an exception with 400 status code.
class CustomTokenView(TokenView):
    def create_token_response(self, request):
        login = request.POST.pop('username', None)

        username = get_user_model().objects.filter(
            email=login[0]
        ).last()

        if not username.verified:
            raise HttpResponse(content='User not verified', status=status.HTTP_400_BAD_REQUEST)

        request.POST._mutable = mutable

        return super(TokenView, self).create_token_response(request)

But this gives error as
TypeError: exceptions must derive from BaseException

I also tried with
from rest_framework.response import Response
return Response('User not verified', status=status.HTTP_400_BAD_REQUEST)

But none is working.

A: You cannot raise a response. Response is not an exception. Instead you can either return it or raise an actual exception from django-rest-framework (all available exceptions described here, select one that suits best your case. In my opinion it should be your custom one, created from APIException).

Feature: New Music for Old People
New Music for Old People: Headphones Week/Rare Stereo Mixes!
By Al Kooper, Columnist
Al Kooper, 1965
Now, I'm not talkin' about earBUDS that are really bad for your ear canals and can cause hearing damage; I'm talkin' about a comparatively inexpensive, dependable set of the recording studio diehards — SONY Studio Monitor headPHONES MDR-7506s. Now that's the way to listen to your iPod, computer, movies on your computer, etc. It's great sound and pretty comfortable as well and if you don't overamp the volume, they're much safer than those earduds. Okay — the preacher has now stepped down and the former college professor has stepped in.
I am queer for stereo mixes on headphones, especially songs that were recorded before stereo mixes and then gone back to and mixed in stereo. The reason I am perverted in their favor is that they are incredibly educational to someone such as myself (who produces and engineers recordings) who could not exist without a strong knowledge of the oldies listed here today. I can learn so much more by listening to these stereo mixes than one-dimensional, one-track monaural ones. I am not putting down mono — I am just preferring stereo myself for various reasons.
So here are ten amazing records spanning three decades that are not often heard in stereo PLUS two tracks that have the lead vocals missing so you can REALLY hear what's going on OR you can sing karaoke to them with the headphones on and annoy everyone in the vicinity — your choice entirely. But for the right people, this is a tremendous treasure trove!
This column is like the title says - its intention is to fill the gap for those of us who were satiated musically in the '60s and then searched desperately as we aged for music we could relate to and get the same buzz from nowadaze. iTunes was the answer for me in 2003 and I have been following the new releases every Tuesday ever since I realized there was an endless stream of music I could enjoy there.
I also include older items that I felt were obscure originally and might not have been heard back then. The reason I am writing this column is to make sure others don't miss this wonderful music. These are not top ten items; but they SHOULD'VE been!
Below is a jukebox containing all the songs I picked this week. After you read about them below, go back and listen to whatever you like by just clicking on that title in the jukebox, or stream the whole playlist by clicking on the "play" icon at the top. It's free and it's the entire song. We're not selling anything. We're just in the business of hopefully making your days better by listening to great music.
Headphones Week/Rare Stereo Mixes!
1. "I Only Have Eyes for You" (1959) — The Flamingos (3:13)
I always say that humans could not have made this record in 1959 — that it sounds like the handiwork of Martians. I'd like to see someone like Todd Rundgren try and copy this as he did on his album Faithful. This would keep him in the studio for a few weeks. But the Martians did it it in one day because that's the way it was done back then. Stereo surely helps you hear some of the amazing nooks and crannies embedded in this timeless aural masterpiece.
2. "Duke of Earl" (1962) — Gene Chandler (2:26)
A bit of duke wop for you right here. This is a Chicago record and it's great to hear the details (like the horns in the second half of the intro) that are not as discernible in mono. A classic with aural ear microscope assistance.
3. "Bright Lights, Big City" (1961) — Jimmy Reed (2:45)
This is raw blues for the time period. Jimmy rarely recorded with a bass player and this is no exception. His mainstays were Eddie Taylor on second guitar, drummer Earl Phillips, his wife Mary Lee ('Mama') singing over-his-shoulder harmonies perfectly and occasionally whispering the upcoming lyrics to him as he was fond of the alcohol. This became a blues standard and it's just rare to hear it in stereo. Calvin Carter produced the bulk of Jimmy's catalogue for Chicago's benchmark Vee Jay Records. Dylan probably got the harmonica rack idea from JR (see photo below).
4. "Walkin' in the Rain" (1965) — The Ronettes (3:20)
Phil Spector HATED stereo. All his records were in mono. So imagine my surprise when I acquired a Japanese compilation CD in the early days of digital with five stereo Spector mixes on it! When Phil was inducted into the Rock and Roll Hall of Fame, the guy providing the records that were played in the introduction videos borrowed my CD to see if anyone noticed the stereo mixes! This is probably the rarest of all although the other four are mind-blowers as well.
5. "When You Walk in the Room" (1963) — Jackie DeShannon (2:41)
Now we go from walkin in the rain to walkin' in the room! Jackie was first known as a songwriter. Coincidentally, Jack Nitzsche, who wrote the Wall Of Sound arrangements for Phil Spector, was involved on this session and sprinkled some of his fairy dust on this track albeit with much less echo than the Spector sides. Sonny Bono and Jack also wrote "Needles and Pins," which Jackie recorded just before this track and got covered by The Searchers, obliterating Jackie's great version. Much later she would finally triumph with Burt Bacharach at her side. This is a very well made record with details shining through in slashing stereo.
6. "Nobody's Fault But Mine" (1968) — Otis Redding (2:22)
Stax-Volt initially turned its back on stereo, preferring the slam of R&B mono. All the cash in the world cannot conjure up a stereo mix of "Green Onions" as it was probably recorded in mono. However by 1966, multitrack recording was going on at Stax. This track was recorded in 1967, but released posthumously first as a B-side and then on the LP The Immortal Otis Redding, both in 1968. This is a chance to study each member of Booker T & The MGs: Booker is barely discernible on organ but if he was removed you would know it. Steve Cropper sounds like the ringleader. As usual his guitar part is genius and is the core of the whole track. He is panned to the left, but probably not politically. Duck Dunn plays the rhythms in between Cropper's part and stays down low to anchor everything on bass. Al Jackson Jr. is always amazing and young soul drummers can always learn a wealth of information from checking him out. The Memphis Horns are panned to the right and play (as usual) the patented Stax/Volt foil to what the MGs are doing And then there is the big O. It's great to hear him in isolation on this track. His improvisation is always amazing; phrasing and notewise he was a master of originality. This is classic Stax/Volt in rare stereo.
7. "Hold Me Tight" (1968) — Johnny Nash (2:26)
Back before Bob Marley ruled reggae all over the world, Texas-born Johnny was in a film shooting in Jamaica and got entranced by the rock-steady music all around him. He recorded with what became The Wailers and grabbed his first worldwide hit with the self-written "Hold Me Tight." It's bizarre that there were really good studios there so early but I am certainly not complaining. The blunted guitar parts roool on this track.
8. "Goldfinger" (1965) — Shirley Bassey (2:35)
John Barry was an innovator with his own cinematic style. Unfortunately, the James Bond music is his most recognizable work, but his film discography is one of the finest in history in my opinion. This arrangement and composition is pure John Barry and congrats to Shirley for a) keeping up with the orchestra and b) getting her only US chart hit. This is swashbuckling stereo, my friends!
9. "Walk On By" (1961) — Dionne Warwick (2:51)
For my birthday a few years ago, my lawyer gave me ten tracks of vintage Warwick/Bacharach tracks in stereo with no lead vocals! Always a Bacharach admirer, this gave me an even better listen to his most famous work behind Dionne. You can hear everything here or, as I mentioned before, sing along karaoke-style. I prefer the great guitar 'chicks' of the immortal Vinnie Bell and the groundbreaking orchestrations of Mr. B. This is REALLY rare!
10. "Papa Was a Rolling Stone" (1972) — The Temptations (3:37)
Also a rare track of no lead vocals on this Norman Whitfield-produced smasheroo that borrowed heavily from Isaac Hayes' "Shaft" (the record, that is). So it's Motown versus Stax for a change. Who do YOU think won? Sing along, bounce around the room or listen deeply. See ya next Friday and happy turkey in advance!

Telemarketing – Love it? Loathe it? Just DO IT!
Yesterday I attended a training workshop on Telemarketing. I went along to this because I do quite a bit of telemarketing for various clients, so I thought it would be prudent to hone my skills, and learn some new techniques.
What a fantastic day! It was really interesting to see people walking into this workshop with quite negative feelings about telemarketing, and walking out 3 hours later eager to pick up the phone and canvas for new clients.
It was also really interesting to see different perspectives that people have with regards to telemarketing, as there are a lot of stereotypical attitudes towards it. Don't get me wrong, I hate the 7pm cold calls right during dinner just as much as the next person, and find them a real invasion of my privacy and life, however B2B telemarketing is a little different. It is a very strong, powerful and legitimate business tool, which, if done correctly, can result in vastly increased sales / clients. And it doesn't cost the earth! After Word of Mouth, telemarketing is probably the cheapest way of getting your message out there. And you get an immediate, measurable response. Sounds great, doesn't it? So why do so many people hate it so much?
Personally, I quite like telemarketing. Like everything else, there are good days and bad days, but I love to have a chat, so being on the phone talking to people doesn't phase me too much. And because I'm telemarketing on behalf of other clients, I don't take it personally when I get rejections, as it's not my heart & soul that's gone into the product or service I'm trying to sell, it's someone else's, so I can maintain a professional distance and attitude.
It is a very intimidating thing for some people to do though. You are putting yourself out there to total strangers, allowing them to judge your products or services, and exposing yourself to rejection, which many people take personally. As human beings, we crave acceptance – it's natural. So setting yourself up for rejection is not something that many people like doing. It affects our self esteem, and our self worth. Which is why we find it so hard to keep picking up that phone after multiple rejections.
Telemarketing isn't for everyone. It takes a certain kind of person to be a successful telemarketer; someone with bucket loads of personality and a good sense of humour, as well as the ability to not take the rejections personally. After all, why should I care what a total stranger thinks of me. It's not like I'm going to be dealing with them again. So I'll end the call with a smile, a thank you, and move on to the next one.
If you can see how your business could benefit from telemarketing, but you just don't have the drive or the time to pick up the phone and make that first call to a potential client, pick up the phone instead and call ME instead!

During the heyday of the Clan, New York's vampire organization of gangsters and bootleggers, Dorian Black was an enforcer for the notorious boss Raoul Boucher. But when the Clan is shattered by violence and betrayal, Dorian abandons his old ways and is prepared to die for his sins … until he saves the life of a brave and determined woman reporter, Gwen Murphy.
The voice was both harsh and beautiful, like music from another world. It came from very far away, a place out of space and time, and yet it pulled her from the seductive darkness with all the tenderness of a mob enforcer working over some poor schmuck in an alley.
Rough hands turned her over and pummeled her back. A rush of liquid surged into her throat and gushed out of her mouth. She coughed violently, jagged sparks zigzagging through her brain.
She gasped. Blessed air flooded her chest. The hands that had shaken and bullied her softened on her arms and lifted her against a warm, firm surface. She heard a heartbeat, slow and steady, felt ridges of muscle under a once-fine broadcloth shirt, smelled a slightly pungent but not unpleasant scent, as if the one who held her had been living in the same clothes for a week.
Still dazed, shivering from a chill dawn wind against wet skin, she let herself be held. It was absurd to feel so safe in the arms of a total stranger, even one who had saved her life. Crazy to feel as if she could stay there forever.
She pushed at her rescuer, muscles still not entirely under her control. He released her and steadied her as she struggled into a sitting position on the weathered wood of the pier.
For the first time she got a good look at his face. It was the devil-angel she'd seen in the river, distorted then by brackish water and her own clouding vision. Now that she could see him more clearly, she still couldn't decide if he belonged in Heaven or that other place.
His features were those of a young man in his prime, handsome in the truest sense of the word. Bright moonlight picked out planes and angles joined in perfect symmetry. His skin was smooth, free of stubble though everything else about his appearance suggested that he hadn't seen a razor in several days. His cheekbones were high, his chin firm and a little square, his hair dark and badly in need of a good cut, his brows straight above deeply shadowed eyes.
It was the eyes that captured the attention. Gwen couldn't make out their color, but that hardly mattered. They simply didn't belong in the face of a good Samaritan who had probably risked his life to save a stranger, a man in his mid-twenties with at least forty good years ahead of him. They were as dangerous as a storm about to break, as grim as the blood-stained steel of a Thompson's machine gun. If they'd ever seen a smile, it was in some distant past she could scarcely imagine.
The man cocked his head, his gaze still locked on hers.
She cleared her throat and tugged her drenched glove from her shaking right hand. "I'm Gwen Murphy," she said, offering the hand. He glanced down, studying her trembling fingers as if he suspected she had some nasty and highly contagious disease. She was about to withdraw her hand when he seized it in the same bulldog grip that had snatched her from a watery grave.
Gwen almost laughed. She recognized the edge of hysteria that lurked beneath her enforced calm and swallowed the laughter. Once she started she might have a hard time stopping. And Mr. Black didn't look as though he'd appreciate the reaction.
Still no smile cracked his sculpted face, but his brows drew down in an expression that might have been concern. He shrugged out of his jacket and draped it over her shoulders. The coat wasn't entirely clean, but Gwen was grateful for both the warmth and the gesture.
He lifted one shoulder in a shrug that betrayed a whole world of discomfort. "How did it happen?" he asked.
The question took Gwen a little by surprise. Black was so taciturn that prying an interview out of him would be worse than pulling teeth. Maybe he wasn't really interested, but she had to give him points for trying.
Black's eyes narrowed. "Do you usually come to Hell's Kitchen in the middle of the night?" he asked with subtle menace.
Without answering he pulled her closer to the dry heat of his body and led her a few halting steps. The nausea increased, creeping up into her throat. It had to be a combination of things: the filthy water she'd swallowed, the head injury, the shock of nearly dying. She should be able to for overcome it. She was Eamon Murphy's daughter, for God's sake….
Black stopped. "You won't make it," he said bluntly.


Description A single haystack in field on a mountain side demonstrates the local method used in hay stacking. Hay is heaped onto a wooden pole placed into the ground, giving the stack a rounded, oblong shape. It drapes over the pole allowing the hay to dry faster. An old wood structure sits in the distance beyond the vastness of green grass near the wooded area.

Grad Minutes: November 10, 2020
The GSS condemns tuition hikes and Fall 2020 candidates for director positions presented themselves for election
Illustration by @Reslus
Editor's note: This piece previously quoted McDonald as "drying up things like the annual budget." It has now been corrected to "drawing up things like the annual budget." An earlier version of this article also stated that the meeting motioned a "tuition hike condemnation," this has been changed to a "tuition hike opposition" to more accurately reflect the meeting agenda.
Written by: Mahdi Dialden, News Writer
The Graduate Student Society Council (GSS) held a meeting that motioned a tuition hike opposition, showcased candidates running for positions, and gave updates from committees.
Motion to officially oppose the tuition hikes
The Director of External Relations, Matthew McDonald, spoke about the motion to oppose the recent SFU tuition hikes. The motion was moved for a stance of opposition while calling on SFU to "seriously consider changes to its long-term cost structure with student affordability." This motion also includes sending a letter to the SFU leadership and the BC government, while working with the SFSS and TSSU.
Member Reese Muntean spoke in favour of the motion, "It's very timely. And, and what I mean by that is I think it's good for us to act now shortly after the SFSS and TSSU condemnation letters. I think working together with other student societies will help further our advocacy work in this."
McDonald added, "Students generally, institutionally, do not have a whole lot of power. That's just kinda how it is. But when we make our voice heard like this, it reminds administration that they have to take our priorities into account when they're drawing up things like the annual budget."
The tuition hikes are affecting graduate students with 2% and 4% hikes for domestic and international students respectively. McDonald added, "In the long run, our incomes don't really match up with the cost of living. That also includes, you know, the rapid rise in rent in the greater Vancouver area."
This comes after the SFSS condemnation at the annual general meeting. "We think [SFU's] institutional priorities should be reconfigured to place student affordability higher on the list," McDonald added.
GSS Director Elections Candidates
Students nominated themselves for the Director of Finance, Director of Student Life, Director of Academic Relations, and Director of Access and Equity. They were given a chance to speak about their candidacy and why they should be elected for the position.
Candidates for the Director of Finance:
Candidate Anna Orlichenko stated, "I execute financial planning, analysis, and budget control, and I want to implement this experience if I am selected." On the GSS website, she said she aims "to help serve students' needs for their wellness and mindful living by managing GSS finances using my strategic vision, positive attitude, and strong passion."
The current Director of Finance, Farina Fassihi, presented herself for re-election saying, "Despite all the challenges that last year had within the context of [COVID-19], we were able to successfully plan the budget — our operating budget is healthy." Fassihi added, "I have a comprehensive understanding of the society's budget processes, and budget planning strategies, and have made effective efforts in fixing and enhancing the GSS financial structure."
The final candidate for the position was Abdul Mubarak Dutie Tuhson, "A Chartered Management Accountant and a Certified Tax Practitioner (CTP) with eight years' experience in various finance functions," according to the GSS website. Tuhson added, "I believe I can contribute a lot. I've had a look at the strategic kind of this society, and I can clearly see where we align [in] the budgeting and planning process."
Candidate for Director of Student Life:
Gloria Li, a full-time MBA student, said, "I will provide you valuable networking opportunities that will hopefully benefit in your career. I know it's harder to do that under the current COVID-19 pandemic situation, but I will try and explore online platform as much as possible."
The other candidate for the position, Aiman Adelshiyeva, did not attend the meeting, but can be found on the GSS website, where she stated, "I believe I have an extensive experience in organizations of events and activities that help students feel a sense of community."
Candidates for the Director of Academic Relations position:
Pankaj Bagga, should he be elected, is "excited to be part of SFU's amazing community of people and ready to take responsibility as Director of Academic Relations."
Prince Kumar Lat, pledged to "start career counselling [for] all the graduates." He added, "I'll try to increase the scholarships, particularly international ones. I'll try to increase financial support during emergencies [ . . . ] and I will try to create more industrial as well as academic opportunities."
Reese Muntean, a PhD student in the School of Interactive Arts and Technology (SIAT), as well as a SIAT representative, also nominated themselves for the position. Muntean stated that because of "COVID-19 issues and the research assistant concerns, [she's] been learning a lot already this year about the issues that are faced by graduate students during their academic career, including those relating to coursework, personal research or research search assistantships, and relationships with supervisors," she said.
Another nominee, Lance Quan, explained, "My strategy is from the positioning of learning and to embody the stewardship responsibilities of a GSS (Society) Director to collaborate, coordinate, and advocate."
Candidate Devan Prithipaul spoke about how graduate students "are the ones who pay tuition, who pay the salary for professors and administrators. That gives [them] a huge advantage when it comes to bargaining and making sure that our interests are heard. Especially as graduate students, we are the ones who build the reputation of the university by conducting original research."
According to the GSS website, nominee Anchal Jain has "15 years of teaching experience for undergraduate and graduate studies in the computer science field, back in India," and wants to work on support for full-time opportunities as well as lowering co-op student fees.
Director of Access and Equity:
Candidate Shanny Rann, a second-year PhD student in gender, sexuality, and women's studies, stated, "[The position] will enable me to advocate for diversity and inclusion — these are values that I strongly believe in. More importantly, I want to speak up for students who are experiencing systemic discrimination," Rann added.
The next candidate, Hafsa Sadiq, said, "As a graduate student in the Master of Public Health program, I noticed the lack of policies, services, and advertising for services in place to create a campus where all graduate students have equitable opportunities to learn, care for their health, connect with peers in their community, and access financial aid and support."
The last candidate, Satyajeet Chouhan, was not present at the meeting. On the GSS website, it states, "I will always be available as an open channel to represent and voice your indifferences and sufferings to the concerned authorities to ensure dignity, fairness, equality and respect is delivered and maintained across the university."
According to the SFU grad society website, "campaigning will end on November 25th and polls will open for online voting from Dec 1st to Dec 4th."
You can find the candidates' profiles running for each position on the GSS website.

Walter Hallstein was born in Germany in 1901. After presiding over the German delegation that negotiated the Plan Schuman, 1st January 1958 he became the first president of the European Commission. He maintained in that post until 1968.
As president of the European Commission, Hallstein worked towards a rapid realisation of the Common Market. His energetic enthusiasm and his powers of persuasion furthered the cause of integration even beyond the period of his presidency. However, the speed of unification during the so-called Hallstein Period was legendary.
During his mandate, De Gaulle vetoed British accesion to the EEC. In 1965, a proposition of Hallstein, supported by the European Parliament, on the founding of own funds of the Community was also vetoed by the French president. The crisis of the "empty chair" followed. The absence of the French Ministers paralysed the Community. The Luxembourg Compromise put an end to the crisis.
Walter Hallstein died in 1982.

USD450 gorilla permits to AUTO Members
Uganda Wildlife Authority still overs USD450 gorilla permits to AUTO members in Uganda only. It should be noted that Uganda Wildlife Authority used to offer discounted gorilla permits in low season months of April, May and November but due to changes in tariffs both in Uganda and Rwanda, this offer was scrapped off for 2018. Each permit would go for USD450.00 as compared to the normal gorilla permit price of USD600 in Uganda. This meant that a tourist travelling and trekking mountain gorillas in April May and November would save USD150.00 off his or her gorilla permit.
More about USD450 gorilla permits to AUTO Members
The offer of USD450 gorilla permits to AUTO members was initiated in 2016 and was a result of the continued good working relationship between Uganda Wildlife Authority and AUTO which is the Association of Uganda Tour Operators. Members of Association of Uganda Tour Operators are the leading buyers of gorilla permits from Uganda Wildlife Authority and as a way of giving back and supporting AUTO, Uganda wildlife Authority decided to offer this to AUTO Members.
These USD450 gorilla permits to AUTO members by Uganda Wildlife Authority are not offered daily but at least thrice in a year. The number of gorilla permits given to AUTO depend on the total sales in a given period let's say three months. Its from this that UWA determines the portion of permits to be offered to AUTO members is determined. Once the portion is determined, UWA communicates to AUTO about the available permits and members are informed about it.
Who benefits from USD450 gorilla permits to AUTO
Members of Association of Uganda Tour Operators are the ones that benefit from this offer. The discount goes to them and not the clients. All those companies in Uganda that want to benefit from this must register with AUTO. Encounter Africa Safaris Ltd is a member of AUTO and as such a beneficially.
Process of Booking USD450 gorilla permits to AUTO members
When the Association of Tour Operators receive communication from UWA, they in turn communicate to their member through email about the availability of these permits. Because of the many members, each company is allotted about 2 gorilla permits on any date and region of their choice. Each member of AUTO is supposed to apply for these permits and wait for approval. Once approved, each member is supposed to pay to AUTO and then AUTO takes the list to UWA. With these USD450 gorilla permits to AUTO among other factors has improved the working relationship between Uganda Wildlife Authority and Association of Uganda Tour Operators.

Tesla Announces Record 2022 Results Despite Economic Slowdown, Supply Challenges
Elon Musk at the presentation of the Tesla Model 3 in Shanghai on January 7, 2020. ALY SONG / REUTERS
There are two Elon Musks: the compulsive tweeter who too often turns to conspiracy, and the captain of industry who made Tesla the world leader in electric cars. Its detractors imagined that the first would drag the second down with it. This has not happened, for the moment in any case, as evidenced by the results for the last quarter of 2022, better than expected by Wall Street, and which allow us to take stock of the year.
Tesla made $12.5 billion in profit last year, up from $5.5 billion the previous year. She was still losing a billion in 2018, when the company was on the verge of bankruptcy and Elon Musk was considering withdrawing her from Wall Street, a promise which has earned her a current trial in California for misrepresentation. Tesla produced 1.369 million vehicles last year, a 47% jump from 930,000 in 2021. Tesla is officially targeting 1.8 million for 2023 – Elon Musk even estimated on Wednesday January 25 in front of analysts that he had "the potential to produce 2 million cars" – when it was only 255,000 in 2018.
Thus, despite disruptions in global supply chains, shortages of microprocessors and various shutdowns in China, the automaker has experienced global revenue growth of 50% ($71 billion) where global industry was stagnating. It garners operating margins of 16%, double the industry, according to figures provided by the company.

Tesla may have had a stock market price divided by three since its highest reached at the end of 2021, but it is still worth 450 billion dollars, against 200 billion for Toyota, 80 billion for Volkswagen and… 12 billion dollars for Renault.
This wide angle is a prerequisite for putting the "missed" sales targets in 2021 and 2022 into perspective before exploring the difficulties that the company may encounter. For years, Tesla has embarked on an investment race to meet demand. Elon Musk has set himself the goal of producing 20 million vehicles per year by 2030, which would make Tesla the world's largest producer – Toyota currently produces 8 million vehicles per year.
For this, his boss estimates that he needs more than ten factories. Tesla has therefore expanded beyond the San Francisco Bay Area to reach Shanghai, China, near Berlin, Germany, and Austin, Texas. Mr. Musk intends to expand this last factory and plans to set up in Mexico and Indonesia. The rise in power often encounters difficulties. After the Covid-19 in the United States, the politico-administrative hassles in Brandenburg, its Shanghai factory suffered temporary closures due to the confinements due to Covid-19 which caused it to miss its production objectives for two years in a row. .

In a move that provides clarification and more consistency with the FDCPA but widens the gap as to the treatment of collection agencies and non-collection agency debt collectors, North Carolina has modified its Debt Collection Act (the "NCDCA") to conform more closely to the FDCPA regarding third party communications.
North Carolina has a bifurcated statutory scheme regarding its collection statutes. Chapter 58 of the North Carolina General Statutes regulates the collection efforts of collection agencies and debt buyers. Chapter 75 of the General Statutes regulates all others engaged in debt collection, including original creditors. The modifications to the statute, which were enacted on August 5, 2015, and took effect immediately, apply to Chapter 75 only and serve to clarify what is appropriate regarding contact with third parties.
Collection agencies and debt buyers operating in North Carolina should be aware that the NCCAA applies not only to the collection of consumer debt but also to the collection of commercial debt.
For the purposes of location information about the debt as long as no indication of the indebtedness is made.
Contact to third parties is permissible where the debtor or his attorney provides written permission. Written permission can now be provided prior to default.
A bona fide error defense is now available with respect to communications to parents, guardians and spouses. As amended, the statute provides that if the debt collector has a good faith belief that the communication to the spouse, parent or guardian is within the exception set forth above, the communication shall not be in violation of the exception. Creditors should be aware, however, that if the debtor is no longer a minor, the good faith exception as to parental contact is not likely to apply.
Prohibit communication with any particular person more than once a week or a total of three times during any 30 day period unless requested to do so by the person.
The statute additionally provides clarification that under the NCCAA, creditors and other non-collection agency/debt buyer debt collectors are allowed to collect their filing fees and other court costs.

Gardet's official name for the Golden Boy sculpture is "Eternal Youth".
Twelve hectares of landscaped grounds surround the building.
An electric light was added to the Golden Boy's torch in 1966 & was lit on December 31, 1966 to mark Canada's centennial; the light was removed during the 2002 restoration.
There were 67 submissions in the architectural design competition for the building.
The Golden Boy was originally painted in gold but was gilded in 1951.
Gardet also sculpted the bronze statues of lawmakers Moses and Solon that are in niches on each side of the speakers chair in the legislative chamber.
Sculptor George Gardet of Paris modelled the Golden Boy and the two life-size bison in the lobby.
The Golden Boy is modeled on the 16th century sculpture of Mercury by Giovanni da Bologna.
The names of five great world legislators, Confucius of China, Justinian of Rome, King Alfred of England, Lycurgus of Greece and Manu of India are carved on stone tablets and mounted on the walls of the legislative chamber.
The bison sculptures beside the grand staircase weigh 2,268 kilograms each.
Building architect Simon and sculptor Gardet both attended the Paris School of Art at the same time.
Manitoba's Legislative Building, principal among public buildings in the province, accommodates the legislative assembly, its committees and staff, as well as offices for the ministers and deputy ministers of all government departments.
The four sculpture groups at the four corners of the tower at the base of the building's dome represent agriculture, art, industry and science.
$5,600 of tissue-thin 24-carat gold foil was applied one sheet at a time over special yellow primer on the statue as part of the restoration project.
Government House; the official residence of the Lieutenant-Governor of Manitoba is situated on the east side of the grounds.
The winning designer was awarded a $10,000 cash prize.
The Golden Boy statue was lifted down from the Legislative Building dome by crane on Saturday, Feb. 9, 2002 for a complete $1.1 million restoration.
Became a provincially designated heritage site on May 12th, 1989.
The tyndall stone used on the exterior was quarried at Garson,just east of Lockport Manitoba.
The Golden Boy, a 4.9 metre high statue on top of the Legislative Building's dome, is one of Manitoba's most famous symbols.
