1	In this Act:
"board" has the same meaning as in the Code;
"Code" means the Labour Relations Code;
"collective agreement" means a written agreement between an employer or an employers' organization authorized by the employer, and a trade union providing for minimum prices or prices of fish, share arrangements between vessel owners and crew members on fishing vessels, hours of work or other conditions of employment and includes any such agreement that was entered into before June 30, 1994 and that is still in force;
"employee" means a person engaged in commercial fishing and includes a person who agrees to accept as remuneration a share or portion of the proceeds of a fishing venture;
"employer" means a person who employs one or more employees and includes
(a) a person who purchases fish from a commercial fisher,
(b) a person who provides as remuneration a share or portion of the proceeds of a fishing venture, and
(c) an employers' organization;
"fish" means any species of animal living in water, including its eggs or roe;
"lockout" means a lockout as defined in the Code and includes a refusal by an employer to accept or purchase fish, done to compel his or her employees or to aid another employer to compel his or her employees to agree to conditions of employment;
"strike" means a strike as defined in the Code and includes a refusal to engage in fishing or to sell or deliver fish by employees in combination or in concert or in accordance with a common understanding.
Application of Act
2 This Act applies to persons engaged in the catching or harvesting of fish and to persons purchasing fish.
Application of Labour Relations Code
3 The Code and the regulations under it apply in respect of the matters to which this Act applies, but if there is a conflict or inconsistency between this Act and the Code, this Act applies.
Voluntary recognition
4 Nothing in this Act prohibits or terminates any voluntary recognition of trade unions by employers.
Unfair labour practices
5 (1) An employer or a person acting on behalf of an employer must not refuse to purchase fish from a person because he or she
(a) is or proposes to become or seeks to induce another person to become a member or officer of a trade union, or
(b) participates in the promotion, formation or administration of a trade union.
(2) Despite subsection (1), this Act must not be interpreted to limit or otherwise affect the right of an employer to make a change in the operation of the employer's business reasonably necessary for the proper conduct of that business.
(3) Section 14 of the Code applies with respect to an act prohibited by this section.
Successor rights
6 Section 35 of the Code does not apply with respect to the sale of a fishing vessel.
Strike or lockout
7 Despite section 57 of the Code, a strike or lockout arising from collective bargaining in respect of a species of fish is not unlawful only because it occurs during the term of a collective agreement in respect of a different species of fish.
Dismissal provision in collective agreement
8 Section 84 (1) and (3) of the Code does not apply
(a) to a collective agreement in respect of the price or minimum price of fish, or
(b) to an employment relationship where the employer maintains no control over the discipline or dismissal of the employee.
Determination of appropriate unit
9 When the board, under section 22 (1) of the Code, is determining whether a unit is appropriate for collective bargaining, it may consider, in addition to other matters it considers relevant, the manner in which negotiations in the fishing industry have taken place in the past, including such matters as whether negotiations have taken place based on fish species and gear type.
First collective agreement
10 Section 55 of the Code does not apply to collective bargaining between a trade union and an employer if the trade union and the employer have negotiated one or more collective agreements with each other before June 30, 1994.
Change during certification or bargaining
11 (1) Despite section 32 (1) of the Code, an employer may alter the price or minimum price that it offers for fish while an application for certification is pending.
(2) Despite section 45 (1) (b) of the Code, an employer may alter the price or minimum price that it offers for fish during the 4 month period following certification.
(3) Despite section 45 (2) of the Code, an employer may alter the price or minimum price that it offers for fish if the term of a collective agreement that was in force between the parties has expired.
(4) This section does not apply where the alteration is made in a manner inconsistent with section 5, 6, 9 or 11 of the Code or section 5 of this Act.
Effect of certification
12 It is not inconsistent with section 27 (1) (a) or section 48 of the Code for an employer to pay bonuses or make other payments to employees above the minimum price in a collective agreement.
Refusal to purchase fish
13 This Act must not be construed to prohibit a refusal to purchase fish for a cause not constituting a lockout.
Jurisdiction of Labour Relations Board
14 The board has exclusive jurisdiction to decide a question arising under this Act, including jurisdiction to decide
(a) that a person may be an employee for some purposes and an employer for other purposes, and
(b) that the relationship between a person engaged in commercial fishing and a purchaser of fish constitutes an employment relationship.

Declaration of (Italian) American Independence
By Chris Carosa on October 9, 2018
"They all laughed at Christopher Columbus/When he said the world was round…" So begins the lyrics of Ira Gershwin for brother George's 1937 composition "They All Laughed." The Gershwins wrote the song for the movie Shall We Dance, starring Ginger Rogers and Fred Astaire. Frank Sinatra famously included the tune in his masterpiece Trilogy album, where he sings the closing lyrics "Who's got the last laugh now?" with a knowing wink.
From Christopher Columbus to Frank Sinatra, it's clear that Italians and Italian-Americans have had a tremendous impact on America. Over the next three weeks, we'll focus on those names history books seem to have neglected.
Did you know Italian-Americans played a prominent role in the founding of America? For example, three of the first five American warships were named after Italians. These were Continue Reading "Declaration of (Italian) American Independence"

Alabama at URI Preview
On Monday night, Nate Oats picked up his first win of his tenure at Alabama. The Crimson Tide now have a record of 1-1 going into Friday's road contest versus Rhode Island, URI, (1-1). The Rams are coming off a tough 18-point road loss against No. 7 Maryland while, their lone win was over LIU Brooklyn. Meanwhile, Alabama is coming off a decisive 78-59 win over Florida Atlantic. The URI game on Friday is the second meeting of a home-and-home series that was scheduled under the previous staff. The Crimson Tide won the first meeting in Tuscaloosa 68-64. This will be a tough road test for the Crimson Tide so early in the season. The Rams like to slow the pace down and limit their opponents' possessions per game. Per KenPom (kenpom.com), Rhode Island is 158th in the nation in adjusted tempo at 71.6 possessions per 40 minutes. Alabama is ranked 7th in the nation in adjusted tempo at 77.1 possessions per 40 minutes. The problem Rhode Island has, however, is they're not a great shooting team. As a team, URI shoots 34.3% overall which is statistically one of the worst in the country. They try to make up for this by being one of the best offensive rebounding teams in the country with 16 offensive rebounds per game. The key to this game for Alabama is to limit Rhode Island's offensive rebounds. If Alabama can limit Rhode Island's second chance opportunities then that combined with their poor shooting statistics, to this point, will allow Alabama to win the game. This effort starts with defensive rebound in which Alabama is ranked 46th in the country with 29 defensive RPG. This will be a major factor in Alabama's chances to win the game.
Key Players for Rhode Island:
Guard: Jeff Dowtin (13.5 PPG, 3.5 RPG, 2 APG)
Guard: Fatts Russell (11.5 PPG, 3 RPG, 5.5 APG)
Forward: Cyril Langevine (11 PPG, 16 RPG)
Guard: Tyrese Martin (11 PPG, 6.5 RPG, 3 APG)
Final analysis/Prediction:
Alabama will get its first road test of the season on Friday at Rhode Island. Unfortunately, many of the Crimson Tide's best players are battling injuries. The good thing, however, is some of the injured players are still able to play effectively and some of the others are stepping up as well. One player who stepped up tremendously last game is Forward/Center Javian Davis. He had 19 points and 9 boards. If he can have another good game and help limit the rebounding from URI Forward Cyril Langevine (16 RPG), I believe the Tide will pull out a close win.
Alabama-78
Rhode Island-74


Swedish-Swiss engineering giant ABB has admitted it considered contacting newspaper editors to ask them to stop using the firm's name as shorthand for confessed mass killer Anders Behring Breivik.
Within hours of the dual July 22nd attacks that left 77 dead in Norway, newspapers and users of social media began using the initials to refer to the confessed Norwegian perpetrator, whose full name was considered ill-suited to headlines and Twitter messages.
Top ABB executives took a dim view of media outlets using the three-letter contraction to designate the 32-year-old terrorist but ultimately decided not to take any action, Norwegian newspaper Stavanger Aftenblad reports.
"It's aggravating when daily newspapers use ABB to describe the terrorist, and it is our opinion that they should be more aware of this," said ABB spokeswoman Helene Gunther Merg.
"Since ABB is not a firm that targets normal consumers this is unlikely to have a major effect for them," said Håvard Hansen, professor of marketing at the Universtity of Stavanger.
ABB is not the only firm to have sought to sever any perceived links to Breivik. In September, French clothing firm Lacoste voiced its exasperation at images used by the media of Breivik wearing sweaters that bear the fashion house's familiar crocodile logo.

Parent Trigger Bill Fails in Florida Senate
By Sean Cavanagh — March 09, 2012 2 min read
by guest blogger Andrew Ujifusa
A controversial Florida bill that would have let parents petition for schools deemed to be failing by the state to be converted into charters or otherwise overhauled failed in the Florida Senate today, the Orlando Sentinel reported.
A tie vote did not go to the "runner" in this case: The 20-20 vote in the Senate Friday afternoon meant that the bill died, after being passed by the House.
The bill was modeled on California's "parent trigger" law and had the support of Republicans in the state, including Florida Gov. Rick Scott, as well as former Gov. Jeb Bush. They argued that the bill would empower parents to help their local schools improve. A majority of parents for a school would have had to sign a petition in order for any changes to occur.
StudentsFirst, the national organization run by former District of Columbia Public Schools Chancellor Michelle A. Rhee, had circulated a petition aimed at boosting support for the Florida parent trigger law, as my colleague Sean Cavanagh reported in February. State supporters of the bill said it was intended to force local school officials to take parents' ideas seriously, not to force one model for improving a school.
But eight Republicans joined 12 Democrats in voting against the measure, the Sentinel reported. Opponents pointed to the fact that PTA groups were against the measure, and some expressed concern that the law would merely serve as a mechanism for for-profit charter school operators to gain market share in Florida, while pitting parents against parents.
Ten days ago, before the Florida PTA mobilized people against the bill, state PTA president Charles Derexson said he thought the bill would pass.
"The parents of the Florida PTA 'pulled the trigger' on a very bad bill," Derexson said.
Concerns in general centered on the fear that outside organizations would really end up guiding efforts to fix struggling schools.
"The problem was, they didn't bother to ask the parents what power they needed," said Derexson, who added that he expects the "parent trigger" proposal to be back next year.
UPDATE: A spokeswoman for one of the parent-trigger law's prominent backers, the Foundation for Florida's Future, said she anticipates that the issue will continue to be a priority for the group, which is led by Bush.
This year was the first time the parent trigger came up for a policy debate in the legislature, said Jaryn Emhof, speaking on behalf of the foundation, and the first time that many lawmakers supported the mission of empowering parents to help their struggling schools.
She suggested that the bill was a victim of politics to a certain extent, and that better-funded opponents created the false impression that for-profit charter school operators would run roughshod over local parents.
"The opposition tried to make it about charter schools," Emhof said, adding that charter schools were not the focus of the bill.

It wasn't until the last couple of years, that I realized that one of the biggest factors in making my home feel like a haven is for people to feel loved there. In my nightly prayers before bed, I used to pray that my home would feel like a haven to all those who entered. I used to think in my mind that my home had to feel peaceful and look pretty and that was it. It would be a haven. But line upon line, the Lord has taught me that that's not all it needs to be. The most important thing I can do is to love all those who come into my home. It doesn't matter if our home is an old shack with a tin roof, a fancy grand palace, or somewhere in between. If we don't let the people who come into our homes feel important and loved, our home will not be a safe, comfortable place they want to be.
I've been given lots of practice when it comes to this. Sometimes the children in our neighborhood will come inside to play with my children as I'm in a rush to prepare dinner, or get laundry done. They want to tell me stories of the latest and greatest thing happening in their lives and I need to have the patience to listen. Sometimes my children want to talk to me when I'm texting a friend. I need to look them in the eye and listen. Sometimes people stop in unannounced and I need to stop what I'm doing and just sit with them and be a good friend. Sometimes my husband needs a listening ear as he vents about work. Sometimes a grumpy child just needs some extra one on one time or an extra compliment or two to lift their spirits.
If we want our homes to feel like a haven from the world, we need to treat all those who come into our homes with love and kindness. We need to make them feel like they are somebody special.

Back to Beer... and Hockey
The Story of Eric Molson
Antoniou, Helen
To most Canadians, the Molson name is part of the very fabric of Canada. Since 1786, when John Molson founded his first brewery in Montreal, it has become synonymous with beer, hockey, and philanthropy. Few realize, however, how close the family came in recent years to losing control of the enterprise. Back to Beer...and Hockey offers intimate details of the life and work of Eric Molson, who not only saved the company, but positioned it to thrive as a global brewery into the twenty-first century. With unprecedented access to the Molson family, Helen Antoniou traces Eric Molson's evolution from a young brewmaster captivated by the chemistry of beer-making to chairman of Molson. Quiet by nature, he had to confront big egos, navigate complex boardroom politics, and even battle a disruptive cousin who tried to push him out of the way. Antoniou's carefully researched account details how the introverted Eric overcame his aversion to conflict to take the company from a failing conglomerate back to its core business of beer, eventually turning it into one of the world's leading brewers. Today, he has passed the torch to his sons, the seventh generation, but his steadfast vision prevails. An absorbing account of one man's struggle at the helm of an international brewing giant, Back to Beer...and Hockey shows how Eric Molson's guiding principles influenced the future of Molson ? both the enterprise and the family.

With the aim to bring a party spirit to the runway, Miuccia Prada staged a Miu Miu club in Palais d'Iena, featuring tech house beats and performances from Seth Troxler, Frederic Sanchez, Craig Richards and Cassyy. The clubbing was not devoted only to the brands' Resort 2016 collection, but it also announced the launch of the first ever Miu Miu fragrance.
The resort collection itself is kind of retro-modern, highlighting the clubbing motives and youth mood. Shine metallic fabrics bring a sense of retro, while modern hairstyles add an edgy touch of modernism. In fact, Miucci Prada brought back to the runway the prints of Miu Miu's spring 2010 collection with a fresh approach. The prints were given a rock and roll refreshment with club poster elements, leather and a lot of hazard stripes.
Retro club posters opened the show, that were topped over a shirt dress or a neon color dress, giving the show a right start.
It looks more as hazard signs in bold colors which is in fact a stylish touch to a clubbing spirit.
Yes, this year Miu Miu shows high proficiency in layering, even going beyond our imagination of how many layers can exist. We are used to a dress over a shirt, but it is completely new to see a shirt over another shirt and a dress. The see-through fabric of the top shirt gives a special touch to the look paired with fur and long striped fabric running from the earring.
A mix of elegant black dresses wit bird prints and edgy club poster images has left a sensation.
Feminine chiffon shirts topped with latex or lathe dresses in hazard stripes.
Of course, metallic is the true clubbing color - the brighter it shines, the better the look is.
And here is the first Miu Miu fragrance itself. Get ready to purchase it early in September.

The History of Citizen Watches
Citizen is a watch brand that is famous all over the world. It has been making watches for almost one hundred years. Many times, over the years, Citizen has been at the forefront of the watchmaking industry. It's a company that is always looking to be better and more modern. The list of successful Citizen technologies and products is long, including its solar-charging technology. From durable, feature-rich watches to ones with long-lasting charges to simple and elegant timepieces, Citizen has a wide range of watches suitable for any interest.
In the early days of Citizen, its focus was on creating inexpensive watches in Japan. It was founded in the 1930s by investors in Japan and Switzerland, although its roots go back to 1918. At that time, the brand was registered in Switzerland by Rodolphe Schmid, for the watches he sold in Japan. When Citizen was founded in the 1930s, it used the Shokosha Watch Research Institute and Schmid's assembly plant. Citizen gradually became more popular in Japan until World War II, although it had little success on a global scale.
A few years later, the brand would have it's first major success. It started to make a name for itself by focusing on creating new technologies. In 1959, Citizen came out with the first timepiece in Japan that was fully waterproof, called the Parameter. The success of this product led to the development of a whole line of diving watches from Citizen. More and more successes would follow.
In addition to being one of the brands that pioneered and introduced quartz movements to the public, Citizen also developed the Eco-Drive movement. These days, Eco-Drive is well known and respected within the watch industry, as it was one of the first movements to charge via solar power. It first arrived in 1976, and Citizen is proud of being environmentally aware from such an early stage.
The Citizen corporate philosophy is based on precision, accuracy and quality. In 1993, Citizen introduced the first multi-band atomic timekeeping watch in the world. This timepiece guarantees precision by synchronizing its time to atomic clocks around the world. More recently, in 2018 Citizen partnered with Disney to create a co-branded collection of watches based on Disney, Marvel, and Star Wars.
If you're looking for a quality name-brand timepiece, it's hard to go wrong with a Citizen watch.

Hot Hot Volcano slot was developed by NextGen and is an online slot game that features five reels, three rows and a total of twenty five pay lines of which only one coin can be bet on each. Coin values range from as little as 0.01 up to the maximum of 4.00. The theme of the online slot game is based on a hot erupting volcano which is the background image. The volcano is placed amidst a lush green jungle and features various jungle creatures which are found upon the reels as certain symbols.
Hot Hot Volcano slot features wilds, paying scatters and a re-spin feature as well as a gamble feature which is playable after any winning spin. Winning amounts can be doubled or quadrupled by correctly guessing the colour or suit of a playing card that will be revealed. This feature is playable up to five times consecutively if the guesses are correct but any wrong answers result in the total amount gambled being lost.
The Hot Hot Volcano slot symbols include various themed images as well as the standard high valued playing card icons. The card icon symbols are those numbered from nine to ace and pay out anything from 6 coins up to 150 coins when three or more land on active pay line. The monkey and bunch of fruit symbols pay out anything from 15 coins up to 200 coins and the bird pays out 3 coins to 250 coins. The lizard is the highest valued symbol out of the standard ones and pays out up to 500 coins when landing three or more times on an active pay line.
Hot Hot Volcano slot features a wild symbol which also happens to be the scatter symbol. This is represented by the symbol portraying an erupting volcano and will only ever land on reels two, three and four.
As a wild symbol the erupting volcano will stand in as a substitute for any of the other symbols when a winning combination is possible. When the wild symbol appears two or more times it acts as a paying scatter symbol and awards various multipliers which are multiplied by the total bet. If three erupting volcanos land on the second, third and fourth reels at the same time then the Hot Hot Volcano slot eruption bonus is triggered.
The Hot Hot Volcano slot eruption bonus is a re-spin bonus feature. The erupting volcano on the third reel will erupt and the wild symbols will take over all of the positions on the specific reel. The reel will then hold all of the wild symbols in position for the next five spins.
During these five re-spins any random symbol in any position on the other reels will become wild. If three of these symbols happen to appear simultaneously on the three middle reels during a re-spin then they will pay out the scatter rewards and not re trigger the bonus game.

Q: C# Lidgren Library - Address already in use? I'm experimenting with the Lidgren library for my XNA game. I created a simple server and client:
Server:
 NetPeerConfiguration config = new NetPeerConfiguration("Warz");
 config.Port = port;
 server = new NetServer(config);
 config.MaximumConnections = 500;
 server.Start();
 logMessage("Server starting on port " + port.ToString(), ConsoleColor.Green);
 Console.Read();

Client:
NetPeerConfiguration netConfig = new NetPeerConfiguration("Warz");
netConfig.Port = 1000;
client = new NetClient(netConfig);
client.Start();
client.Connect(new IPEndPoint(IPAddress.Parse("127.0.0.1"), port));

Port is an integer with the value 1000, the error occures on the client.connect method after I started the server. The error is: Failed to bind to port 0.0.0.0:1000 - Address already in use!
I heard something about the option reuseaddress?
Can't find out how to fix it tough.
Thanks!!

A: The port might be in use. Try something like 26648.

A: I found the solution, on the client I should not set the port in the NetPeerConfiguration because it's set in the client.connect already. when I removed it it worked like a charm again. Thanks for your effort, Rene!

Q: Detecting the date format from a date string In my application I am having the possibility of getting date in two formats "dd/MM/yyyy" and "MM/dd/yyyy", and I want to have both date formats in "dd/MM/yyyy" format, I tried using DateTime.TryParseExact
string date = "12/21/2017";
DateTime dt;
if(!DateTime.TryParseExact(date, "MM/dd/yyyy", CultureInfo.InvariantCulture, DateTimeStyles.None, out dt))
{
    DateTime.TryParseExact(date, "dd/MM/yyyy", CultureInfo.InvariantCulture, DateTimeStyles.None, out dt);
}
Console.WriteLine(dt.ToString());

My problem is that, my code works fine and if I have the date input like this 12/21/2017 (MM/dd/yyyy) and converts the date to 21/12/2017 (dd/MM/yyyy) but does not works if the date is like this 11/10/2017 which may be (MM/dd/yyyy) or (dd/MM/yyyy) it gives 10/11/2017 by considering the date format as (MM/dd/yyyy).
Is there any way to get the date format from the date so that I can use ParseExact to parse the date to (dd/MM/yyyy) format, or is there any way to convert the date formats which may be (MM/dd/yyyy) or (dd/MM/yyyy) to (dd/MM/yyyy).
Edit
Based on the conversation with you, I got that it is ambiguous in certain dates, I am going to ask the Front End team to give DateTime object rather than a date string. Thank you so much.

"Many of the best episodes in Hitchcock's classic TV series were later, one-hour dramas that gave Hitch's stable of writers the opportunity to keep ratcheting up the suspense. "Bad Call" is a throwback to that type of suspense drama; it's a story that would have made a great Hitchcock episode, right down to the double punch ending. Hitch would have loved "Bad Call" and so will suspense fans."
A PSYCHOLOGICAL THRILLER
Ralph da Silva has screwed up.
Big time.
He can't afford to make another bad call.
RALPH da Silva's luck is going from bad to worse. Mixing Tequila with treacherous mountain roads and an unhealthy shot of poor judgment makes for a lethal cocktail, as Ralph finds out to his cost when he narrowly avoids a head-on collision in the remote mountains of Central America—and that's when his problems really start.
Not knowing whether the other driver has been so lucky—and more concerned with saving his own skin at any cost—Ralph panics and flees the scene, but is horrified when he learns that the brutal Chief of the Secret Police, Luis Garcia Ramirez, has taken a personal interest in the case. What isn't clear is why—is Ramirez determined to bring Ralph to justice or has he got a more sinister, ulterior motive?
As the suspense increases and the net tightens around him, Ralph is tormented by the rumors of past atrocities that surround Ramirez. Then, in a bizarre turn of events as he desperately tries to escape justice and the country, Ralph is forced to confront Ramirez and decide whether he's being offered a way out or whether he's about to deliver himself into the cold-blooded hands of his nemesis. One thing is certain—he can't afford to make another bad call.
"I can safely say "Bad Call" provides more suspense and perverse enjoyment in 70 pages than most novels five times that long."

Q: URL Rewrite - Not from .htaccess - Magento Looking for a bit of help as ending up going round in circles trying to understand where the problem may lie.
We recently had our magento side on www.domain.com which would shop through rewrite rules as:
"domain.com/"
This was correct.
However, as we are targeting the UK market, the site being relatively new we decided to buy up the .co.uk domain and make the switch. Making it www.domain.co.uk, this was all changed correctly in the magento database/backend yet this now starts showing:
"domain.co.uk"
Missing the forward slash on the end.
I have confirmed in the mysql database that the URL has a slash, and have even turned off mod_rewrite from the .htacess, yet there is still a rewrite occurring from somewhere.
It seems like forever since I set this up on the previous site to remove the "http://" and add the forward slash, but I can't remember how or where I set this.
If anyone could point me in the right direction that would be greatly appreciated.
Kind Regards
Edit : Below is the code for rewrite:
<IfModule mod_rewrite.c>

</IfModule>

A: make sure you update all instances of the web/unsecure/base_url & web/secure/base_url in the core_config_data table, I'd suggest searching this table for all values like %domain.co.uk%.
Also delete the cache folder as some config values aren't completely removed with the admin Clear cache button.
Are you sure there is an actual redirect happening? Try using this site http://redirectcheck.com to see if you are actually being redirected. Some browsers will not show the http:// or trailing / so it may not be an actual issue.
If you need to redirect non-www to www add the following lines to your .htaccess file below "    RewriteEngine on"
RewriteCond %{HTTP_HOST} !^www\. [NC]
RewriteRule ^(.*)$ http://www.%{HTTP_HOST}/$1 [R=301,L]

Historic Photographs of Powell Survey 2nd Expedition 1871-2
Major John Wesley Powell's first voyage down the Green and Colorado rivers in 1869 was more of an adventure -- the trip was named the First Expedition. The Second Expedition (1871 and 1872) was dedicated to mapping and scientific exploration. It was on the Second Expedition that the Powell hired photographer, E. O. Beaman, to take landscape photography (including stereoscopy). He also hired his cousin, Clement (Clem) Powell to help on the expedition with the understanding that he would learn photography, but Clem never mastered it. Beaman quit the survey in January 1872 and Powell hired another photographer, James Fennemore. Powell also hired an oarsman, John (Jack) K. Hillers who volunteered as an assistant to both photographers. Hillers learned the techniques of photography in the field and went on to complete the photographic mission of what became known simply as the Powell Survey. The Powell Survey (1870-1879) was formally known as the United States Geological and Geographical Survey of the Territories - Second Division. It was also known as the Rocky Mountain Survey. Powell served as director of the reorganized U.S. Geological Survey (USGS) until 1894. Powell's friend and associate J. K. Hillers continued to work as a USGS photographer until he retired in 1908.
Powell's Second Expedition left "Green River City" [Green River, Wyoming] on May 22, 1871, where the First Expedition had left on May 24th, 1869. Powell had special "dory" boats constructed and shipped to Green River via the recently completed Central Pacific (Transcontinental) railroad. The first month of both expeditions were spent traversing canyons of the Green River around eastern end of the Uinta Mountains (also spelled "Uintah"). During this first stage of both voyages, they passed through Flaming Gorge (named after the brilliant, red sandstone exposed in the cliffs), and three other canyons Powell named Horseshoe Canyon, Kingfisher Canyon, and Red Canyon.

Read More New England based worship collective VoxMusic just released their new single 'Grateful'. Louder Than The Music caught up with the group to find out a little more about them, their music, and their plans for the future.
We are a collective of musicians and songwriters that are committed to our local church, Vox Church in New England. We are experiencing a unique move of God in New England - a place that is known as the least spiritually vibrant place, yet God is beginning to restore and heal - and we're so blessed we can play a role. Our community is made up of over 150 vocalists and musicians, with a smaller core team of writers shaping the original music coming out of our community.
Tell us about your new single 'Grateful' and what the inspiration behind it was?
We really wanted to write a song that was clearly focused on the cross and the sacrifice of Jesus. The beginning stages came right out of one of our writer's daily journal who then brought it to some other team members. We also wanted to capture an authentic sound and heart of thankfulness - remembering the work of the cross should always result in gratitude. Fostering a grateful heart has been an essential part of our lives, especially in a year filled with lots of hard things.
Do you have any plans to release an album or EP in the near future?
We do! We're making some plans around this summer and then also around the beginning months of 2022.
We are a group of imperfect people and made complete through Christ. This isn't just an idea, but a reality - that because of Jesus, we find that acceptance, identity, strength and joy. And life is far more full when the truth of the gospel finds a home that is deep within ourselves. It's all about Jesus - that's the message we want to ring louder than all else.
How would you describe your style of music and what are your influences?
Personally, I grew up around classic rock - Bruce Springsteen and Bob Dylan's music filled my home which I think led me to a place of really admiring complex and layered lyrics. I love so many different genres too and find myself bouncing from hip-hop to alt rock all the time. Something that I think is really unique to Voxmusic is that we are comprised by people who listen to a lot of different things - gospel, pop, rock, country - so our sound is ever evolving and broad.
This is tough! 2020 was Taylor Swift's year and, although I'm not a big fan, I've grown to seriously respect her gift of writing lyrics. Although the first person that came to mind is Benjamin William Hastings. Probably out of my current favorite 10 worship tracks, he's penned at least half.
My view, and I would say our view as a team would find success in having our music play a role in drawing a person closer to Jesus. That's the greatest success and honestly our sole reason for creating music - with the prayer that our story would tell the greatest story.
This is unanswerable for me! It's a mix tape with Tom Petty, United Pursuit, Maggie Rogers, Hillsong United, Childish Gambino, Kacey Musgraves and some Tasha Cobbs.
You're stuck on an island, it's hot, you only have enough battery life left to listen to one song on your phone. What track is it?
Island in the Sun by Weezer was the first thing that came to mind.
What does the next year hold for Voxmusic?
We're sitting on a lot of formed and partially formed song ideas, so we want to continue to create music. I'd say my prayer is that our team is listening closely to the Holy Spirit, to know what songs and projects would make the greatest impact in our region and beyond for Christ.

Byron Jones' Impact Transcends the Football Field
The cornerback is the Miami Dolphins nominee for the NFL's Walter Payton Man of the Year Award
By Travis Wingfield Dec 10, 2020
"What brought me to Miami was the idea of joining a young team and being a leader on that team, and kind of being a catalyst for cultural change." - Byron Jones
When Byron Jones met with members of local South Florida media for the first time, he talked about man-to-man coverage, playing alongside Xavien Howard, his familiarity with virtual teleconference applications and what attracted him to the Dolphins as a free agent.
"I wanted to be a part of the building of something special and more than anything, just being that guy – a guy that people look up to in the locker room to lead them in the right direction, really."
He was talking about football, but his words carried beyond the white lines on the field and his actions are validating his comments. He made a promise to himself that he was going to do more to make a positive impact in his new community and those efforts are being recognized in the form of what's considered the most prestigious honor in the NFL.
The NFL announced the 32 Walter Payton Man of the Year nominees on Thursday. Jones and 31 other players across the league will receive a $40,000 donation in their name to the charity of their choice. Each nominee will don a Walter Payton Man of the Year helmet decal through the end of the season in recognition of their accomplishments on and off the field.
"It's an honor," Jones said. "Community service was something that truthfully I haven't done a good enough job at, especially early on in my career. I looked in the mirror and asked myself, 'am I doing enough for my community?' And the answer was no, so I really changed things around in 2020 with the help of the Dolphins. They really led the way for me and gave me the avenue to really help out and be a steward in my community."
Additionally, Jones hosts football camps in his hometown to empower kids to get involved in both football and their communities, teaching teamwork, responsibility and dependability. Jones was transparent in his self-evaluation, a trait that comes from a life in football.
"It comes from football," Jones said. "In football, you really have to check yourself frequently. You have to ask yourself am I lifting enough weights, am I watching enough film, am I drinking enough water, am I getting enough sleep?"
"It starts with simple things then you can expand it," he continued. "Am I focusing enough on football but also am I focusing enough on my community, my family, my relationships? I think it's a really good trait to have in general, no matter what career you're in. Just check yourself. Really ask yourself am you doing enough in the avenues of my life that are most important? Oftentimes the answer is no and it's up to you to really change that course."
Jones put his words into actions quickly upon arrival in South Florida.
The 5000 Role Models of Excellence Program provides youth in the local community an opportunity to meet some of their favorite Miami Dolphins. Jones participated in the organization's virtual event earlier this week to answer questions and impart some of the lessons he's learned both in life and in football.
"A lot of kids were asking about discipline and how you focus during a class you may not like. Just grit, perseverance and determination," Jones said. "No matter what you want to do in life, those three traits will take you far.
"I'm sure their parents have said it many times, and the mentors from a particular group, but I think coming from an athlete it really resonates."
Jones has been dedicated, committed and passionate about serving his new community since he joined the Dolphins in March of 2020. He commits every Tuesday to leading the team's Social Impact Committee in conference calls, community events and casting the vision for the future of the committee. This commitment involves many hours each week to ensure the committee communicates and provokes unique thoughts that turn into actions.
In a recent interview on Drive Time with Travis Wingfield, Jones discussed the Dolphins' Social Impact Committee and the eager mindset this Dolphins team has to take action that creates change.
"Overall, everyone is very eager to do something," Jones said. "Obviously we have a voice, we have a platform; but a lot of us wanted to create action to create change. That was really the impetus of our social impact committee that started with the Dolphins. We've done some incredible work in the civic engagement and economic empowerment and education aspects, and that was really something that the support staff at the Dolphins really spearheaded – along with the players – and they gave us a forum."
Excelling in his efforts to make a change in the community, Jones is able to transition that approach onto the football field and in the locker room with the Miami Dolphins. The team is 8-4 in Jones' first year with a 7-1 mark since his return from a groin injury that kept him on the sideline for the better part of three games.
Jones reflected on his first nine months as a member of the Dolphins and revisited his desire to be a catalyst for change.
"We have a culture of young guys who understand how to play good football," he said. "Guys that are playing to learn and grow and evolve as football players and young men. That's the exciting part, to be a part of this up and coming group. We still have a long way to go. It's exciting to see some success early on but the most important football happens in December and we're in the thick of it, so we're trying to keep our head down and continue the culture that we have so far."
All 32 nominees will receive a $40,000 donation in their name to their charity of choice. The winner of the Walter Payton NFL Man of the Year award will receive a $250,000 donation to the charity of their choice. All donations are courtesy of the NFL Foundation and Nationwide.
