Mr. Panucci
Hey all; new here.
I enjoy the new episodes to some extent. This one for instance took me back to 'the original series' more than the others did.
I am however still not feeling the same 'vibe' as before. There's something wrong with Fry (to name one thing). I think he's a bit too self conscious about his stupidity. Take a look at fry and the slurm factory for comparison, I'm sure you'll agree.
Oh and btw, 3d on the football team remark from Da Vinci; can't make it out.
Quote from: Aki on 07-17-2010 01:04
Right. I try to think of some other ending though, and I can't think of one that would be okay. I just hope they won't go with "time's circular!", cause that would just be moronic after Futurama calls itself a geeky show.
I can't see them doing that either because then they'd have a working time machine that could take them to any point in time which would leave the door open for constant "Why didn't they just go back in time and stop that bad thing from happening?" questions. Also, I can't see that being a satisfying ending.
I'm sure whatever happens, it will be something we haven't considered yet and something great.
Quote from: Mr. Panucci on 07-17-2010 01:22
I agree with this episode, but I also think that it's completely justified within this episode because it's about Fry being stupid and he would be self-conscious with the characters all calling him an idiot.
As somebody already said, it was "learned", pronounced "learn-ed".
As for people wanting to see more Fry/Leela stuff, I'm pretty sure we'll see some of that stuff in The Late Philip J. Fry.
Alright, I've finally watched this episode (and read through all of the posts in the thread. My eyes are so very sore right now.) and I have just one thing to say (followed by several other things: That was awesome!
I think this may be my favourite episode of the season so far. It's already been said, but I really liked the fact that it explored Fry and the Professor relationship because I always wished we got to see more of that considering that the Professor is Fry's only living relative (except for Cubert, I guess).
The other thing I liked was basically the whole Vinci planet thing. It had this sort of sci fi vibe reminiscent of the violet dwarf star actually being an Encyclopod egg in Into The Wild Green Yonder, and I liked that Da-Vinci was so smart on Earth but an idiot compared to the people on his planet.
I know that some people didn't like that whole Vinci planet thing and that's fine because I guess it goes to show how different aspects of Futurama appeal to other people.
I don't know if I ended up saying all that I was going to say originally but, anyway:
Just adding that the cable ratings of The Duh Vinci Code gave Futurama 2.204 million viewers

I was just assuming they get intimate behind the scenes at this point, but his confused step back he takes after she says "SURE" makes me think that they haven't consummated their relationship. I'm fine with it either way. Girl has to keep boy in check somehow.
Yeah, I don't think they've done the deed as yet. Fry was too shocked and thrilled when Leela agreed to join the Mile Deep Club. Heh. I'm cool with them not yet consummating their love. Gives us all something to look forward to...
Quote from: JavieR on 07-17-2010 04:07
Yes, the show is holding nicely. A good steady performer so far. Comedy Central has to be pleased.
Well, to me, that was a great development: I love that Fry is more self-aware in this new series than he was in the old. I have no use for obtuse morons in other shows who have no awareness or caring of their flaws. I think it's great that Fry knows he's not too bright, and that it bothers him. It makes him seem far more real and more human, and I was delighted with it.
I know that some here are saying the the new eps aren't like the old Futurama...and I'm here to say, that ain't necessarily a bad thing. So far, aside from a bit of preachiness, I think the new eps are an improvement in almost every way. The animation is more solid; I notice that the characters express themselves better, and that the movement is more fluid. If you look closely at this new episode, you'll see the characters react to what's happening in a way that gives them more presence...for instance, when Leela defends Fry's intelligence, the characters around her nod in agreement. When Fry sobs in response to the Professor's criticism, Bender looks like he feels sorry for him. There are little such character moments throughout the episode, fleeting, but they give the characters more depth. In addition to the improved animation, I think the writing's been pretty solid too. And the voice acting, particularly Billy West's, has been superb. Surely he's the true successor to Mel Blanc, both in terms of vocal range and acting ability. The guy better win an award of some kind or I'll be pissed.
I also have to add that I enjoyed the Professor knocking Fry around a bit. There was a certain Three Stooges quality to it I loved. Of course I wouldn't want it to be overdone, or to actually reach Stooge level; but the feeble Professor could never get so rough. Fry's irritated expression when the Prof clunked him on the head with the torch was priceless.
I have to admit, I just love this episode to death. Such a vast improvement over last week's. Futurama's comeback has more than met my expectations so far. I can't wait for next week's installment!

Here here! All the people saying Futurama is dead can go to mutant hell. Way worse than robot hell.

This one for instance took me back to 'the original series' more than the others did.
I am however still not feeling the same 'vibe' as before.
I think one thing about this particular episode that sets it apart from others in the original run is that Fry and Farnsworth get to go to another planet without the PE ship, without Leela and Bender, and without having to make up an excuse to do a delivery there.
fryfanSpyOrama
I did enjoy this episode, but it felt like it should've been a two-parter, where part 1 should've ended at the moment Fry and Fransworth are on the Vinci planet and are introduced to Leonardo. They whole third act was too quickly. A full episode would have done it much better justice.
I also was wondered as to why didn't Leela and Bender bother to follow them in the PE ship. It might have been funny, since Fry and Prof were traveling for a month, it the episode ended with Leela and Bender back in Italy, and just wondering if they should just head back home. For what it is, it's good, but the concept could have been expanded.
I think a whole episode on the Vinci planet would've dragged on rather than done it more justice. I think you're just still used to the movie format.
As for Leela and Bender following them, they didn't do that because there was no reason for Leela and Bender to be there. The episode (this part most of all) wasn't about the PE crew, it was about Fry and the Professor.

I am ashamed to admit this having taken 6 years of a european language, and I apologize if it has already been mentioned... but it took a second viewing of the episode to understand why Leonardo introduced himself as only Leonardo, and why the planet was just called Vinci... At first I thought it was named after him, but then when I saw how he was an outcast on the planet, I figured not. I guess the writers imagined him visiting earth and introducing himself as Leonardo da Vinci (Leonardo of/from Vinci if italian is anything like french) and Earthicans interpreted it as a last name instead of him referencing where he was from... If it is indeed what the writers intended, props to them.

i liked the finglonger 2.0
I was waiting for someone to mention that. Although I think it's a bit overt. the Finglonger 1.0 was perfect for poking. 2.0 is okay for poking, good for eye-based assaults. I guess it's an upgrade.
Freako is the pope of rule 34. I forgot about the finglonger 2.0 too! way better than the old one.
Holycrapholycrapholycrap! FemJesse just replied to me!! I feel special, seeing as I'm an Intern PEELer (but a Futurama OG). Sorry to sound creepy, and weird, but it's 2:00 a.m. where I am right now.

Quote from: fryfanSpyOrama on 07-17-2010 05:20
I actually agree with this. The whole episode actually seemed to go by too fast. Too much stuff was crammed in...
Other than that, I didn't mind the episode at all. I laughed quite a few times. I loved Bender vs the Squid. It just seemed to go by too fast. When it was over I was like "Didn't the episode just start?"
I do really hope Fry doesn't stay this stupid though, but honestly I'm not too worried about it. I realize this was a plot point for this episode and I enjoyed it for what it was.
Oh snap I just got celebrematized...

Though actually in real life his surname really was a reference to where he was from. So in terms of what you are saying it'd be more a case of:
"Hello, my name is Leonardo of Vinci"
"Vinci? Ah yes, Vinci, that quaint little village near Florence, am I right?"
"Er...yes! Quaint little village. Yes. Totally not a planet a month's space flight away..."

Having seen the ep late last night I enjoyed it, but I didn't love it. The plot was never going to be my thing, but they did pretty well with it. Some good humour, but that robot character sucked, and I didn't buy that invention getting to that planet. Again it was a good, but not an amazing ep of Futurama...
add another 1 to that count if only cartoon network was available here in nova scotia. only way i can watch the new futurama episodes here is by downloading them online. we have teleton network that play's the older futurama episodes every day but they don't air the new episodes.
I enjoyed the episode but mostly for the bookends, the middle part was meh. I was another ending that was easily telegraphed from the beginning but the journey to it was enjoyable enough.
One thing that bothered me was Hermes (don't get me wrong i liked the delivery company joke) it jsut seems that in recent peisodes the writters do not know what to do with him and just us him for thow away jokes. While he has never been my favourtie character, it seems a shame for him to be relagated to one off jokes.
Like Otis P Jivefunk I liked this episode but didn't love it.
The new, improved finglonger.

I was sorry that Bender didn't come out of the fountain with some bullet holes in him.
Also, how was the 'waterslide' ride from the bottom of fountain able to deposit them higher than where they started from?
Is "What's your game, Vitruvian Man?" a reference to something else?

Quote from: Professor Zoidy on 07-16-2010 18:54
@KillbotB: I don't see how Fry's abuse is out of place. Fry's own parents treated him the same way, saying he was worthless and stupid in the episode "Luck of the Fryrish" if I'm correct. Forgive me if that's the wrong episode, I'm a bit rusty at this. They favored his brother Yancey. In "Roswell That Ends Well" Farnsworth calls Fry stupid a few times, one specific time is when Fry sleeps with his grandmother Mildred "You idiot, don't you realize what you've done!?".
Fry has been treated like that in previous episodes but only in minor ways. In this episode it was a main theme. The extent of the abuse is what was out of place.
Quote from: KillbotB on 07-17-2010 13:35
Really? Did it ever strike you that it was a main theme because it was what the episode revolved around?
Much like his extreme unluckiness in "Luck of the Fryrish", because it was the theme of episode. In fact, this episode and "Luck of the Fryrish" are perfectly comparable in this aspect. Of course, "Luck of Fryrish" was far more touchy than this one.
Came off to a great start when Fry lost on Morbo's 'Millionaire' show. That also happened in the early Futurama comics. It was cool to see them go to Rome and uncover the shocking secret of Da Vinci! Bender does a killer Redd Foxx, and it was cool to see Bender get into an intense fight withthe Trivi Fountain monster! Then it ends with Fry and Farnsworth going to a Da Vinci planet where it was revealed that he was an alien and the dumbest person on his home planet. Good episode. Good, but not great, though it was better than 'Attack of the Killer App'. It would've been better if Leela and Bender came to the Da Vinci planet, too. Instead of having just Fry and Farnsworth. 4/5.

Hmm…I'm not sure what to make of this one. I didn't have as much of a disappointed first reaction as I did to "Proposition Infinity," but I did have to ask myself "What did I just watch?" when it was over. Something felt weird about the whole episode, but then again that may not mean much since all of the new episodes have felt weird to me, be this because of their newness or actual differences in their presentation and style. Part of it might be due the interesting act structure as others have mentioned, though, with each act more or less being in a different place and with progressively fewer main characters. It's a neat concept in itself and I want to embrace Fry and the Professor sharing some bonding as characters, but I'm just not sure how well it was executed here.
I did like the way the nail was brought back at the end, and I don't suppose I was actually averse to the plot twists (besides the too-farfetched-for-me space flight in the invention), but something did feel off about the whole episode and I probably would agree with a lot of what has already been said. The other Vincians were quite annoying and I wish that we had seen more of them being smart and doing wondrous things that Leonardo could be jealous of instead of just mocking others, which is essentially all they did. I also wasn't a fan of Fry getting ground by the gears (like Bender was in the video game in "A Bicyclops Built for Two") or the Professor's painful-looking neck twist, and while I'm not saying that that sort of physical humor hasn't been used on the show before, I'm just saying I never cared much for those sort of gags in the first place. I'll admit that I did actually find Fry getting hit by the bus funny, but like some have said I didn't like or entirely believe that no one visited him at all, even though that bit was darkly amusing. And yes, as much as I love the Professor, the almost nonstop discoveries of clues and da Vinci's lost so-and-so did get irritating, parody or not.
Also, I'm surprised that nobody has said anything about the credited writer of this episode being Maiya Williams; then again, maybe there's not much to say. It looks like this is one of those instances of guest writing that DXC mentioned and not another Carolyn Premish controversy.
Quote from: CookiesOnTheFloor on 07-17-2010 04:39
Fry's irritated expression when the Prof clunked him on the head with the torch was priceless.
Yes, and I found myself watching Fry particularly after the Professor handed him that same torch seconds later; from the confused way he was looking at it, I was expecting him to accidentally set his hair on fire with it or something.
Quote from: Zed 85 on 07-17-2010 09:46
which only makes it more of a hilarious concept. I wouldn't be surprised if it was one of the ideas that drove the episode... knowing the writers' taste for intellectual stuff like that (i.e. complicated roman numeral math which ends up just being 1).
Quote from: Jezzem on 07-17-2010 05:28
I may be used to movie format and it may be hard to shake that off. As far as Leela and Bender. It would make sense for them to go after them since they are headed into space and they might have been concerned as to where they are going, since they did come along to Rome they would want to make sure Fry and Professor are alright. I know it wasn't about the PE crew, but it's weird they just drop Leela and Bender like that.
Stan Darsh
I liked it. It was definitely something different. I am just glad the writers are able to create something so creative at this point in the series
Nutmeg1729
I watched it, I didn't love it, but I enjoyed it enough to give it a 7/10. There was more background jokes in this one which really made it more enjoyable for me, some nice little maths references which I'll try and catch a bit better when I can watch it without my parents arguing in the background.
It didn't get me excited but it was enjoyable enough to watch again and again, and I'd put it up there with the ones I love but don't love enough to get into my top 10.
And I'm tired so that's all I'm writing =]

Emo?
This episode was kind of an 'eh' for me. The whole thing about Da Vinci on his planet and being the dumbest one was kinda weird. There were some rofl-worthy gags in there. The plot was just unorthodox IMO. Still fun to watch.
Didn't it? I looked that way to me.
The floor of the fountain seems to be at least 15 feet below street-level and the 'waterslide' takes them down even further and yet they end up in a basement which is only about 5 feet below street-level.
The Earth is not flat though. "Street level" isn't the same everywhere.

I certainly enjoyed this, a couple cute Fry moments which I always like, especially 'I may not be clever, but I have a big heart. That's what my Mom used to say'
N'aw. 9/10
I think this might just be my favorite episode of the new season so far. It was really great and had a nice mixture of comedy and heart, something that Futurama has always done so well. Just thinking about Fry wearing Da Vinci's beard and saying "most indeededly" just makes me laugh.

He was also the 50th Raja/King of the Chakma tribe in the Chittagong Hill Tracts region of present-day Bangladesh from 2 May 1953, until his abdication in 1971 following the Bangladesh Liberation War. He chose to remain a Pakistani when Bangladesh achieved independence in 1971. He became known as a writer, diplomat, Buddhist religious leader and politician in Pakistan.

Between 1981 and 1995, he served as Ambassador of Pakistan to Argentina with concurrent accreditation in Chile, Uruguay, Peru and Ecuador. He was also a Minister-For-Life within the Pakistani government. Tridev Roy died in September 2012.

Biography

Roy was born in 1933 in Rajbari, Rangamati, Chittagong Hill Tracts, British India. He was the son of Raja Nalinaksha Roy. His mother Benita Roy was the grand daughter of Keshab Chandra Sen, a leading nineteenth century Brahmo Samaj leader and reformer of Bengal. Leading actress and danseuse Sadhana Bose and classical singer Naina Devi were his maternal aunts.

He was installed as the 50th Raja, or hereditary King of the Chakma Circle, on 2 May 1953. Roy abdicated the throne 1971 in favour of his son, Raja Devasish Roy, the current ruler of the Chakma people, during the Bangladesh Liberation War. Roy remained a practicing Buddhist, the predominant faith of the Chakma people, throughout his life.

Despite being heavily non-Muslim, the Chittagong Hill Tracts were awarded to Pakistan (specifically East Pakistan) by the British during the 1947 partition of India. The Chakmas and other people of the hill tracts had favored union with India instead of Pakistan. Initially granted special autonomy, the status of the region was changed by the Pakistani government during the 1950s to allow the settlement of large numbers of largely non-indigenous, Muslim Bengali settlers into the region. The Pakistani government also opened a hydro-electric dam, the Kaptai Dam in the early 1960s, which flooded about 40% of the Chakmas' available arable land. However, the Chakmas under Tridev Roy chose to remain neutral during the 1960s and 1970s as relations between the Pakistani Army and Mukti Bahini, which fought for Bangladeshi independence.

In 1970, Sheikh Mujibur Rahman, the head of the Awami League and future founder of Bangladesh, asked Roy to run for Parliament as a member of the Awami League. Roy declined Rahman's offering, choosing instead to run in the 1970 general election as an independent. Roy won his election as independent candidate from his constituency in the Chittagong Hill Tracts.

Roy sided with Pakistan in 1971 Bangladesh Liberation War, which resulted in Bangladesh's independence. Following the war and Bangladesh's independence, Roy chose to move from the former East Pakistan to West Pakistan, where he resided for the rest of his life. Roy feared political persecution if he remained in Bangladesh after the country's independence, which led to his decision to move to Pakistan. He also felt that the new Bangladeshi government would no longer guarantee the special autonomous status of the Chittagong Hill Tracts. He abdicated as the Raja of the Chakmas in 1971 in favor of his son, Raja Debashish Roy, when he went into exile. The government of Pakistan made Roy a lifetime federal minister for his loyalty to the government in Islamabad during the war.

Roy headed a delegation from Pakistan to oppose Bangladesh's application to join the United Nations. The government of Bangladesh, under Sheikh Mujibur Rehman, sent its own delegation to New York to apply for admission led by Tridev Roy's mother Rajmata Benita Roy.

Roy joined the government of Zulfikar Ali Bhutto during the 1970s. Bhutto offered Roy the position of President of Pakistan once he became Prime Minister of Pakistan. However, Roy declined Bhutto's offer of the presidency because, under the new Constitution of Pakistan of 1973, only Muslims can become President of Pakistan. Roy, who called the presidency a "gilded cage," was unwilling to convert from Buddhism to Islam to hold the office. Bhutto was later overthrown by General Muhammad Zia-ul-Haq in 1977.

In 1981, Roy was appointed as Pakistani Ambassador to Argentina by the Zia government, a move which simultaneously removed him from day-to-day involvement in Pakistani politics. He was simultaneously accredited as an ambassador in Chile, Ecuador, Peru and Uruguay and he held these positions until 1995. He later was Pakistan's High Commissioner to Sri Lanka. He remained abroad to abroad until 1996, when he returned to Islamabad. Roy also held the position as a federal minister-for-life within the Pakistani government.

Roy, a leading figure in Pakistan's Buddhist community, headed the Pakistan Buddhist Society from 1996 until his death in 2012. In 2005, the High Commissioner of Sri Lanka, General Srilal Weerasooriya, on behalf of the President, conferred the emblems of the Sri Lanka Ranjana Award on Federal Minister Tridev Roy for his work on behalf of Pakistan's Buddhist community.

Tridiv Roy died from cardiac arrest at his home in Islamabad on 17 September 2012, at the age of 79. He is survived by his wife, Arati Roy, three sons, and two daughters.

Legacy

The Express Tribune published an editorial the day following his death titled "The Raja who gave away his kingdom" on the diplomat's political career, excerpts of which are below:

Books

Among his books, Tridiv Roy published his memoirs entitled, The Departed Melody. The book begins with the history and culture of the people of the Chittagong Hill Tracts and the Chakma Rajas. His other books and publications include Collection of Short Stories, which was translated to Urdu, and South American Diary.

About the Alaska Native Claims Settlement Act

https://vilda.alaska.edu/
The Alaska Native Claims Settlement Act of 1971 (ANCSA) was a new approach by Congress to federal Indian policy. ANCSA extinguished aboriginal land title in Alaska. It divided the state into twelve distinct regions and mandated the creation of twelve private, for-profit Alaska Native regional corporations and over 200 private, for-profit Alaska Native village corporations. ANCSA also mandated that both regional and village corporations be owned by enrolled Alaska Native shareholders. Unlike in the lower-48 states where the reservation system was the norm, ANCSA departed significantly – it was not based on the reservation system, tribal sovereignty within a reservation, or a government-to-government relationship between a tribe and the federal government. Instead, ANCSA's foundation was in Alaska Native corporate ownership.
Through ANCSA, the federal government transferred 44 million acres – land to be held in corporate ownership by Alaska Native shareholders – to Alaska Native regional and village corporations. The federal government also compensated the newly formed Alaska Native corporations a total of $962.5 million for land lost in the settlement agreement.
ANCSA had expansive effects, reaching far beyond Alaska Native people. The passage of ANCSA allowed for federal lease sales to move forward across Alaska, with proceeds going to the federal government. Oil and gas exploration on the North Slope of Alaska and the construction of the Trans-Alaska Pipeline System created thousands of jobs and pumped revenues into the state's coffers—eventually leading to the creation of the Alaska Permanent Fund. Since the passage of ANCSA, various industries have been strengthened in Alaska, creating jobs in both the private and public sectors. By creating Alaska Native-owned, for-profit corporations, ANCSA also brought additional economic diversity to the state that has benefited, either directly or indirectly, all Alaskans.
To understand ANCSA, it is important to understand the history of aboriginal land claims in Alaska. More than 100 years prior to the enactment of ANCSA, Alaska was purchased from Russia. From the time of purchase until the passage of ANCSA, aboriginal land claims were not definitively addressed by the federal government.
Timeline of Significant Events: How ANCSA Came To Be
Below is a timeline that outlines how failure by Congress to address aboriginal land claims in decades' worth of legislation led to the eventual passage of ANCSA in 1971. Federal legislation from the Treaty of Cession to the Statehood Act did not explicitly address aboriginal land claims, leaving it to finally be dealt with by Congress 104 years after Alaska was purchased from Russia.
1867: The Treaty of Cession – The United States purchases Alaska from Russia
In 1867, the Treaty of Cession was signed. The treaty outlined the terms for the sale of Alaska from Russia to the United States. The United States paid $7.2 million for Alaska.
The Alaska Native peoples who had inhabited Alaska for thousands of years disagreed with Russia's right to sell their land. The Russian claim to aboriginal lands of Alaska was under the Laws of Discovery, which state the two conditions aboriginal people can lose their land: 1) through a "just" war, or 2) by giving up specific land in a treaty. Neither of these conditions applied to the Alaska Native people, which left land claims unresolved when the purchase took place.
1884: The First Organic Act for Alaska – Alaska becomes a civil and judicial district of the United States
When the Organic Act of 1884 was passed by Congress, it established the civil and judicial district of Alaska. Status as a civil and judicial district allowed the non-indigenous residents of Alaska to stand up a civil government, which included a district governor, a district court with a judge and court clerk, four commissioners, and a United States marshal.
The Organic Act of 1884 marginally addressed land issues relating to mines and mineral privileges. The act also specifically mentioned Alaska's indigenous peoples (calling them "Indians") and their occupation of the land, but did not resolve their land claims. The act states,
The Indians or other persons in said district shall not be disturbed in the possession of any lands actually in their use or occupation or now claimed by them but the terms under which such persons may acquire title to such lands is reserved for future legislation by Congress…
1912: The Second Organic Act for Alaska – Alaska becomes a territory of the United States
The Second Organic Act established Alaska as an incorporated United States territory, which allowed Alaska to elect a territorial delegate to Congress, elect legislators to a territorial legislature, and elect a territorial governor. The Second Organic Act outlined the laws for territorial elections and the purview of elected officials.
The Second Organic Act included no specific language addressing aboriginal land claims, leaving them to be dealt with by Congress in the future.
1959: The Alaska Statehood Act of 1958 – Alaska becomes the 49th state of the United States
In 1958, Congress passed the Statehood Act, which made Alaska the 49th state of United States, effective on January 3, 1959. The Statehood Act established a state government, defined elected representation for the state in Washington, D.C., and outlined the types of public lands that the state could select.
Again, the Statehood Act did not specifically address comprehensive land claims by Alaska's indigenous peoples. The Statehood Act did, however, declare that the
State must disclaim all right and title to lands and other property not granted or confirmed to the State including right or title which may be held by any Indians, Eskimos or Aleuts (natives) or is held by the United States in trust for said natives.
The act went on to state that any land that may belong to natives shall be under the jurisdiction and control of the United States.
Because Congress did not resolve the issue of aboriginal land claims outright, it was around this time that Alaska Native leaders began to organize into groups to represent their respective regions as they sought resolution to their land claims.
1966: The Alaska Federation of Native is formed to advocate for a land claims settlement
The Alaska Federation of Natives (AFN) formed in 1966 in response to the land claims issues that were being brought forth by various organized Alaska Native groups. AFN consolidated the various Alaska Native groups' efforts and became the statewide organization to advocate for aboriginal land claims.
AFN earned an early victory in 1966 when then-Secretary of Interior Stuart Udall imposed a land freeze. AFN delegates pressed for the land freeze to stop land selections and conveyances across the state, which were viewed by Alaska Native people as encroachment on their lands. By freezing all land conveyances within Alaska, Secretary Udall forced the State of Alaska, the federal government, and the Alaska Native people to resolve aboriginal land claims before any further land selections could take place.
The late 1960s: Commercial quantities of oil are discovered on the North Slope of Alaska
In the late 1960s, commercial quantities of oil were discovered on the North Slope of Alaska. To get the oil to market via the Gulf of Alaska, it first needed to traverse the state from the North Slope all the way down to Valdez. The proposed Trans-Alaska Pipeline system (TAPS) would need to cross over land that various Alaska Native groups claimed. With Alaska Native land claims still unsettled and the land freeze in place, the proposed construction of TAPS was put on hold. Further oil exploration and development also stalled.
These circumstances put Secretary Udall's land freeze in the spotlight in both Washington, D.C. and in Alaska. The oil and gas industry and early environmentalist organizations entered the land claims debate, adding more voices and complexity.

After intense internal negotiations among the various Alaska Native groups and between Alaska Federation of Natives (AFN) delegates and representatives of state and federal government, Congress finally passed Alaska Native land claims legislation in 1971. On December 18, 1971, President Richard Nixon addressed the delegates of AFN by phone and informed them that he had just signed the Alaska Native Claims Settlement Act into law.
At the time of its passage, ANCSA was entirely different than any previous federal Indian policy. ANCSA extinguished aboriginal land claims in Alaska and mandated a for-profit model with land title under corporate ownership. Upon the passage of ANCSA, a new era began for Alaska Native people. Many of the early leaders of the Alaska Native regional corporations had never worked in a corporate business and few had college degrees, let alone advanced degrees in business or law. Despite the humble beginnings, Alaska Native Regional corporations have become an integral part of the Alaska economy.
The Mandates of ANCSA
December 18, 1971 marked a new era for federal Indian policy. It was also a significant day for Alaska Native peoples on an individual level. Several provisions of ANCSA affected individuals in ways that neither they nor the federal government really understood at the time.
ANCSA's original language addressed the specific congressional mandates of Alaska Native corporations: government oversight of the corporations, eligibility requirements to enroll shareholders, the land selection process, redistribution of monetized natural resource wealth among regional and village corporations, and more. There have also been significant amendments to ANCSA since its passage, most notably the 1991 amendments.
The Twelve Regions, a Federal Indian Reservation, and a Thirteenth Regional Corporation
ANCSA divided Alaska into twelve regions defined by the common heritage and shared interests of the indigenous peoples within each geographic area. The regional boundaries established which people, villages, and communities that each Alaska Native regional corporation would serve. The boundaries do not directly represent land ownership; they did, however, define the areas in which each regional corporation could select lands to be conveyed under the provisions ANCSA. Today, within each region there is a complex landscape of governance, land ownership, roles, and relationships.
At the time Congress passed ANCSA, the Metlakatla Indian Community opted out of the settlement agreement. The community instead chose to be designated as a federal Indian reservation. The Annette Island reserve is the only federal Indian reservation in the state of Alaska.
In 1975, ANCSA was amended to create a thirteenth Alaska Native regional corporation, known as the 13th Regional Corporation. The 13th Regional Corporation was established to ensure that Alaska Native people who were not permanent residents of Alaska but who were otherwise eligible to enroll in an Alaska Native regional corporation were included in the land claims settlement. Unlike the original Alaska Native regional corporations, the 13th Regional Corporation did not receive any land conveyances under ANCSA; therefore, it cannot contribute any 7(i) funds; it is, however, eligible to receive 7(i) funds from the other Alaska Native Regional corporations. In 2013, the 13th Regional Corporation was involuntarily dissolved by the State of Alaska when their registered agent resigned.
Original Shareholder Enrollment (1971-1991)

Each Alaska Native regional and village corporation had to enroll shareholders within two years from the date that ANCSA was signed into law. This was no small task; Alaska Native people were spread across vast distances in every region, often with no roads connecting homes and communities. When the two-year deadline arrived, the twelve Alaska Native regional corporations had enrolled just over 64,000 original shareholders, each of whom received 100 shares.
The original language in ANCSA defined the eligibility requirements for enrollment in an Alaska Native corporation. It was not until the 1991 amendments to ANCSA were passed that individual Alaska Native corporations, through a vote of their shareholders, could amend their articles of incorporation to expand shareholder enrollment eligibility.
In particular, two requirements of original shareholder eligibility are noteworthy: blood quantum and date of birth.
ANCSA defined a native as "a citizen of the United States who is a person of one-fourth degree or more Alaska Indian (including Tsimshian Indians not enrolled in the Metlakatla Indian Community), Eskimo, or Aleut blood, or combination thereof." This definition meant that only Alaska Native people with one-fourth blood quantum were eligible to enroll in Alaska Native regional and village corporations. For those who did not have documentation of blood quantum, ANCSA defined ways around the blood quantum eligibility.
ANCSA defined native as: "a citizen of the United States who is a person of one-fourth degree or more Alaska Indian (including Tsimshian Indians not enrolled in the Metlakatla Indian Community) Eskimo, or Aleut blood, or combination thereof." Meaning only Alaska Native people of ¼ blood quantum were eligible to be enrolled in an Alaska Native corporation (regional or village). ANCSA did define other ways around this.
Only those Alaska Native people of one-fourth blood quantum who were born on or before 11:59 p.m. on December 18, 1971 were eligible to enroll in Alaska Native regional and village corporations. Those born on December 19, 1971 or after were not eligible.
Land Selection Process

ANCSA language stated that Alaska Native regional and village corporations would be conveyed a total of nearly 44 million acres of land in Alaska, about ten percent of the state. However, there were large tracts of land across all twelve regions that the federal government had already claimed for strategic purposes or conveyed to other entities. Because those lands were not eligible for selection by Alaska Native corporations, the corporations were compensated $962.5 million for lost lands.
The land selection process defined in ANCSA was different for Alaska Native village corporations and Alaska Native regional corporations. Alaska Native village corporations were to select lands on which any part of the village was located. For the most part, Alaska Native village corporations received title to the surface rights of those lands. In contrast, Alaska Native regional corporations were to select any lands from within the larger regional boundaries defined in ANCSA. Alaska Native regional corporations received title to the subsurface estate of much of the land they selected. Consequently, most of the Alaska Native regional corporations balanced their land selections between areas that had significant cultural or subsistence value and areas that had potential economic value for natural resource development.
Since the passage of ANCSA, some Alaska Native corporations still have not received their full conveyance of land. In addition, a number of Alaska Native corporations have engaged in land transfers with state and federal agencies and with other Alaska Native corporations, resulting in a mix of surface and subsurface rights owned by regional and village corporations.
The Revenue Sharing Provisions of ANCSA: Sections 7(i) and 7(j)
From the beginning of the land claims debate there was recognition that some regions were richer in natural resources and therefore had more potential for economic development. Congress and various Alaska Native groups felt a mechanism was needed to address the issue of regional natural resource 'haves' and 'have nots.' In the years leading up to the passage of ANCSA, several iterations of the land claims bill introduced in Congress attempted to address the disparity in natural resource wealth between the regions when calculating land conveyances and compensation for land lost.
The revenue sharing provisions that ultimately passed as a part of ANCSA were contained in sections 7(i) and 7(j). The goal of the sections is to ensure that all Alaska Native corporations, and accordingly their shareholders, benefit from revenues derived from natural resources developed on ANCSA lands. While typical for-profit corporations would balk at these provisions, many people believe that without sections 7(i) and 7(j), ANCSA would not have passed.
The original language of Section 7(i) states:
Seventy per centum of all revenues received by each Regional Corporation from the timber resources and subsurface estate patented to it pursuant to this Act shall be divided annually by the Regional Corporation among all twelve Regional Corporations organized pursuant to this section according to the number of Natives enrolled in each region pursuant to Section 5.
Section 7(i) requires that any annual revenues that an Alaska Native regional corporation receives from ANCSA lands (e.g., from timber resources or natural resources in subsurface estate) must be shared in a 70/30 split. The allocation means that 70 percent of the revenue is dispersed to the other Alaska Native regional corporations and the remaining 30 percent of the revenue is kept by the Alaska Native regional corporation that developed the natural resource.
Section 7(j) ensures revenues from natural resource wealth are also shared with Alaska Native village corporations. Section 7(j) directs Alaska Native regional corporations to disperse 50 percent of the Section 7(i) revenues they receive to Alaska Native village corporations within the region. Unlike Section 7(i), Section 7(j) does not require any revenue sharing distribution from Alaska Native village corporations to other village corporations or to regional corporations.
The original language of Section 7(j) states, in part:
Not less than 45% of funds from such sources during the first five-year period, and 50% thereafter, shall be distributed among the Village Corporations in the region and the class of stockholders who are not residents of those Villages, as provided in subsection to it.
To address issues that were not foreseen at the time ANCSA was passed, Section 7(i) has been amended a few times to address issues that have arisen since 1971.
Despite the ongoing debate about specifics of the revenue sharing provisions, the redistribution of natural resource wealth has generally had positive effects on all regions. In 2018, the ANCSA Regional Association commissioned a report by the McDowell Group on the economic impacts of sections 7(i) and 7(j) of ANCSA. Some key findings of that report are:
Every Alaska Native regional corporation has had periods when it received more 7(i) payments than it paid out—so each of the twelve Alaska Native regional corporations (and therefore the shareholders of each corporation) has been a Section 7(i) beneficiary
The redistribution of wealth among the regions that receive 7(i) revenues creates a 'leveling effect' in economic activity that otherwise would not occur

The 1991 Amendments
Several original provisions of ANCSA that dealt with stocks and shareholder eligibility were set to expire in 1991, twenty years after passage of the bill. Expiration of the provisions presupposed that between 1971 and 1991, Alaska Native shareholders would gain a strong grasp of corporate ownership and activities and be ready to make significant decisions that would potentially impact Alaska Native ownership of the government-created corporations.
However, as the conclusion of the twenty years neared, the overall profitability and success of Alaska Native corporations was not where Congress had anticipated it to be. Therefore, in 1988, Congress passed amendments to ANCSA addressing provisions relating to the sale of stock, exemption from federal securities laws, and the expansion of eligibility of shareholders.
The series of amendments was passed in 1988 but because all amendments addressed changes to ANCSA that were to occur in 1991, they are often referred to as the 1991 amendments. While ANCSA has been amended numerous times since its passage, the 1991 amendments have been the most significant to Alaska Native corporations and their shareholders.
Prohibition of the Sale of Stock
As originally written in 1971, ANCSA had a twenty-year prohibition on the sale of Alaska Native corporation stock. In other words, stock in Alaska Native corporations could not be sold until 1991. In 1988, ANCSA was amended to prohibit the sale of stock in perpetuity, unless the shareholders of an Alaska Native corporation voted to amend the articles of incorporation of their corporation to remove restrictions on stock sales. To date, no Alaska Native corporation has amended their articles of incorporation to allow for the sale of stock.
While stock cannot be sold or traded, original stock (i.e., stock issued to those born on or before December 18, 1971) can be gifted, willed, or bequeathed.
The Exemption from Some Federal Securities Laws
Originally, ANCSA exempted Alaska Native corporations from some federal securities laws for twenty years. Because Alaska Native corporation stocks were not eligible to be sold or disposed of during the twenty-year period after the passage of ANCSA, many federal securities laws did not apply.
Because the 1991 amendments extended the prohibition of the sale of stock into perpetuity, accordingly the exemption of Alaska Native corporations from certain federal securities laws was also extended.
Expansion of Shareholder Eligibility
To individual Alaska Native people, one of the most significant of the 1991 amendments (and a subsequent amendment in 1992) was the expansion of shareholder eligibility. The amendments addressed the eligibility of Alaska Native people who missed the original enrollment deadline and the date-of-birth cutoff of December 18, 1971.
Image Courtesy of NANA Regional Corporation
The initial amendment allowed a corporation's shareholders to vote to amend its articles of incorporation to add new shareholders. In 1992, an amendment clarified and expanded how shareholders of an Alaska Native corporation could allow for additional shares to be issued to descendants of Alaska Native shareholders. The 1992 amendment also removed the blood quantum requirement originally set by ANCSA.
For an Alaska Native corporation to expand shareholder eligibility and allow for additional shares to be issued, the shareholders of that specific Alaska Native corporation must vote to amend their articles of incorporation. To date, six of the twelve Alaska Native regional corporations' original shareholders have voted to open their rolls to those born after December 18, 1971, resulting in a larger shareholder base.

Back pain causes a great deal of inconvenience as well as barrier to the normal lifestyle of a person. There are a number of back pain triggers, however both most usual reasons linkeded to discs are disc injury and degenerative disc. Disc deterioration results in water content loss that narrows the space between two vertebrae. This could cause pinching of a nerve as well as succeeding discomfort. Bulging discs are usually confused with burst discs. While the previous condition is typical, the later condition could be significant. Discs could protrude throughout the day as they carry the body weight, as well as return to typical at night when we rest. Burst discs are harmed discs brought on by leakage of jelly like substance called core pulposus.

In 1998, an EP that would come to reshape the entire landscape of black metal emerged: "Mystérion Tés Anomias", by an unknown new Swedish act called OFERMOD. While the band returned to obscurity for an additional decade before releasing a debut, their legacy had already started taking on a life of its own. Now almost twenty years after it all began, we find ourselves at the dawn of the nocturnal sun. Behold the radiant gaze of "Sol Nox", OFERMOD's long-anticipated third album.


CAIRO — Just days after the worst terrorist attack in Egypt's modern history, Egyptian President Abdel-Fattah el-Sissi on Wednesday gave his security forces a three-month deadline to restore "security and stability" in the troubled northern Sinai, the epicenter of an increasingly brutal Islamic insurgency.
In a televised ceremony marking the birthday of Islam's Prophet Muhammad, Sissi authorized his new chief of staff, Maj. Gen. Mohammed Farid Hegazy, to use "all brute force" against the terrorists.
Hegazy, appointed last month, rose up from his front-row seat and stood in rigid attention as Sissi, a general-turned-president, addressed him.
This is the second time since Friday's horrific massacre in a sleepy Sinai village that Sissi ordered the use of "brute force" against the jihadists. It was not immediately clear what the use of such force would entail, but it suggested a scorched earth tactic that many of the president's loyalists in the media have been calling for.
Friday's attack on a mosque in the northern Sinai village of al-Rawdah was the deadliest assault by Islamic extremists in Egypt's modern history. Among the 305 dead were 27 children; another 128 people were wounded.
The Islamic State group hasn't yet claimed responsibility for the mosque attack but the over two dozen gunmen who unleashed explosives and gunfire to mow down the worshippers during Friday prayers carried the black banner of the IS terror group. The mosque belonged to followers of Islam's mystical Sufi movement, considered by IS to be heretics. Jihadists have in the past targeted them in Sinai as well as elsewhere, like in Iraq.
Sissi has frequently said that Islamic terrorists have benefited from the care his security forces routinely take to ensure that civilians are not caught in the cross-fire. But rights groups and Sinai activists have in the past spoken of civilians enduring collective punishment, usually in the aftermath of major attacks, and of hardships resulting from military operations, including lengthy power, water and phone outages.
Giving his security forces a three-month deadline to quieten Sinai may turn out to be a risky gamble by Sissi, who is widely expected to seek a second, four-year term in office in elections due in less than six months. Failure in Sinai would dent the president's standing as the general who won office in a 2014 election mostly on promises of restoring security.
However, only state-owned Egyptian media with unquestionable loyalty to the government are allowed to travel to northern Sinai, leaving authorities in near-total control of the narrative on how the war there is going.
Against the backdrop of such restrictions, an absence or a continuation of attacks by terrorists during the next three months and after that would likely be the best indicator of the situation.
Egypt's military and police have for years been waging a tough and costly campaign against terrorists in the towns, villages and desert mountains of northern Sinai. In the past year, fighters have bombed churches in the capital of Cairo and other cities, killing dozens of Christians.
A local affiliate of the extremist Islamic State group now spearheads the insurgency. It is believed to have been behind the October 2015 downing of a Russian passenger jet that killed all 224 people on board, decimating the country's vital tourism sector.
The insurgency has gathered steam and on occasion spread to the mainland following the ouster in 2013 by the military, then led by Sissi, of Mohammed Morsi, an Islamist president whose one year in office proved divisive. Also, a series of recent attacks in Egypt's vast Western Desert suggests the opening of a new front. Authorities believe attacks there are carried out by fighters based and trained in neighboring Libya.

Senator Tammy Duckworth Recalls 'Inhumane' Work Schedule Following Her Miscarriage: 'There Was No Resting'
Senator Tammy Duckworth is recalling the "inhumane" experience of returning to work on the same day as her miscarriage.
During her appearance on People's podcast Me Becoming Mom, the Illinois senator and mother of two opened up about her miscarriage amid her 2016 senate campaign in a culture that demands productivity at all costs. "I went to the doctor in the morning like I always did," she said. "And that whole afternoon I had back-to-back meetings and things that I had to go to. So there was no break."
Duckworth added, "And I'm a public official, so I was going to ribbon cuttings and giving speeches and talking to folks and inspecting hospital and all of that. So right back on my schedule."

The 53-year-old senator said that even after her dilation and curettage (D&C), she felt compelled to work. "Even though we cleared my calendar for the day, I was still on the phone. There was no resting, you just kept on going," she said. "It's inhumane."
In July, Duckworth also described the incident in a CBS News interview. "I found out in the morning I had a miscarriage and had to go back to work in the afternoon, and I really needed time to process," she said. "It's so deeply personal, that journey to parenthood for families, and to have to go back to work that same day and not be able to grieve…Or sometimes you need to pull your resources together and figure out what you're going to do next and not have that time — to me it seems like this is something that's an oversight when it comes to family leave policies."
Duckworth is not the only high-profile person to head back to work after a pregnancy loss. In 2016, Halsey told Rolling Stone that she once suffered a miscarriage during a concert, then returned to the stage wearing an adult diaper and on pain medication. "It's the angriest performance that I've ever done in my life," Halsey told the outlet.
Without a national paid leave program, people who gave birth or who suffer pregnancy loss are often back at work before they are physically and emotionally ready.
In July, Duckworth introduced the "Support Through Loss Act" to allow "Americans to receive paid leave time to process and address their own health needs and the health needs of their partners during the period following a pregnancy loss." It would also extend to those who have suffered "an unsuccessful round of intrauterine insemination or of an assisted reproductive technology procedure, a failed adoption arrangement, a failed surrogacy arrangement, or a diagnosis or event that impacts pregnancy or fertility."
These other famous parents have been open about suffering miscarriages.

We all want to be on time at every appointment we have. For instance, just like in a wedding we've been invited to witness we are expected to be there ahead of time considering the traffic and all other factors that can possibly prevent us to arrive just in time. And some of our travel may include boarding a plane that will bring us quicker to a place we are scheduled to go.
Yet, before we set our mind on our destination, we must make sure we don't take for granted the policies and procedures while we are at the airport. Well, that's important, too. And therefore we have to be aware of it and educate ourselves so we won't miss a single provision found in its rules.
About two years ago, there was a case wherein a Thai Flight from Chiang Mai to Bangkok was delayed just because the inspectors had detected a vibrating device inside the passenger's bag. As protocol, a plane could not take off unless everything is secured in line with its preventive measures since the welfare of all passengers is the airport's utmost priority. And because of this, experts on this kind of situation had to be summoned to do the inspection. Explosive Ordinance Disposal team came in the area to investigate the circumstance. After a thorough inspection, they found nothing explosive. Instead, what they discovered was something that had been vibrating – and it was an ad#lt vibrating toy that was left unchecked. Its owner could have just turned it off before arriving at the airport. But, sadly, it was forgotten. Things like this could have been avoided if we just check carefully every stuff we bring to make sure we comply with the airport rules.
Except for spare (uninstalled) lithium batteries, and spillable wet cell batteries (the kind used in cars and motorcycles), all the batteries types allowed in carry-on baggage are also allowed in checked baggage. The batteries must be properly packed to prevent damage and short-circuiting (terminals are prevented from touching metal). IF IT IS INSTALLED IN A DEVICE, THE DEVICE SHOULD BE TURNED OFF.
Here are some of the items that are not allowed to be carried, and therefore passengers should be aware of these things in order to avoid delay in flights.
Lighters, matches, flammable items – Anything flammable could trigger an explosion at any given time.
Sharp Objects – Self-explanatory one. This could be used as a weapon.
Guns – This is obviously a weapon, so you really do not need to bring.
Sporting equipment – Such as baseball bats, ski poles etc. If playing sports will be part of your travels, consider renting equipment at your destination.

June 1, 2004	By LP Gas
An out-of-control vehicle swerving down a mountain road forces a propane delivery vehicle carrying 2,500 gallons of fuel into evasive action. It slides onto the icy shoulder, then plunges down a 40-foot embankment. Yet the load of propane stays intact.
The scenario unfolded earlier this year for Dependable Energy Services of Ulster, N.Y.
"It rolled over at least twice, and there was no leaking. The canopy took a direct hit from a tree while it was rolling over," recounts Dave Waugh, fleet and safety manager for Paraco Gas Corp., Dependable's parent firm.
The driver was bruised from bouncing around the cab, but Waugh credits the design of the the truck – known as the Clipper – for averting an explosion.
The main propane line is protected deep within the Clipper's tank assembly. A canopy extends out over the rear of the truck, shielding the valve apparatus from both the elements and damage during rollovers. The truck also has a notched bumper design that allows the driver to work while out of harm's way from a rear-end collision.
The Clipper is a creation of Amthor International Inc., a fourth-generation family manufacturer based in Gretna, Va. The company's unique design features are gaining acceptance among propane marketers impressed with the vehicle's safety and productivity innovations.
"It is safety-plus," declares Al Stillwaggon, president of Weaver Gas, which serves a four-county area around Newburgh, N.Y. Stillwaggon also is a member of the National Propane Gas Association's Education and Technology & Standards committees, as well as a local firefighter.
His company owns five Clippers, and to Stillwaggon the redesigned Clipper is the only way to go.
"I don't know why the rest of the industry isn't doing it," he says.
"I'd definitely recommend these to anyone," agrees Doug Allen, dispatcher for Allen's Oil and Propane of Vincentown, N.J. The company just bought its second Clipper to fill out its nine-truck fleet.
"For every new truck we get I'd like to push for the Clipper," Allen reports.
He says the back canopy effectively protects exposed apparatus on bobtails from short circuits and other equipment malfunctions in harsh weather conditions.
A protective canopy shield instruments from bad weather while the extended bumper protects drivers from approaching traffic.
"It has a much cleaner look, and all the controls are covered. It's much better than the old setup," adds Allen, whose father, Ron, was initially reluctant to buy the truck when they first appeared at a trade show.
A covered, inverted hose reel is another popular feature. Instead of tugging and dragging the hose outward, a Clipper driver pulls downward on it much like the ceiling-mounted grease guns at automobile service centers.
"The driver can do more stops with the Clipper hose reel," notes Stillwaggon. "The hose will follow him (or her) several feet before it hits the ground," and the hose is less likely to get torn by fencing and other hazards.
A remote push-button rewinding capability is another labor-saver.
"It makes it so much easier because the driver doesn't get exhausted and the hose lasts much longer. And the hose reel doesn't get slopped-up with ice and snow," he says.
At New York-based Paraco, 19 of of the company's 40 trucks are Clippers.
"We bought our first Clipper in 2000. In 2001 I bought seven more," says Waugh. "Only one driver wanted to go back to a bobtail after that."
"This product has been taking the industry by storm," says Brain Amthor, company marketing manager. "Anyone who has bought one hasn't gone back to a bobtail."
About 150 are currently in use.
In 1992 Amthor opened its 42,000-square-foot plant in Gretna to produce its lines of propane vehicles, fuel oil delivery units, fire tankers and water trucks. A 10,000-square-foot addition was built in 1998 to house its newly revamped propane tanker line.
The Clipper was conceived eight years ago during "a cup of coffee and three hours of discussion on a Saturday afternoon," Amthor recalled. The canopy idea came from the design of fuel oil trucks with other engineering enhancements coming from field-based propane experience.
The safety of the notched bumper assembly was tragically illustrated when a bobtail driver was killed in a rear-end collision in New Jersey, his legs severed from his body by the impact.
"On a bobtail, the driver has his (or her) back toward traffic. On a Clipper, the car will hit the bumper before it hits the driver," Amthor says.
Widespread injuries to the backs of bobtail drivers prompted the inverted hose reel, a development that has gained the admiration of unions and insurance carriers, according to Amthor.
"On a bobtail you're pulling the hose straight out. On the Clipper, the driver is pulling the hose out at an angle, which requires less exertion," he explains.
A Clipper costs $400 to $600 more than a bobtail, Amthor says.
"When I price trucks, the Clippers are very competitive. My CEO wouldn't let me buy any trucks if I couldn't get a good buy," observes Waugh at Paraco. "We're very pleased with the Clipper so far."

Today's post is from one special leprechaun. I will be showing you how to make a quick and easy Golden Lucky Cake Banner! This is all brought to you by a fun roundup from Laura Kelly Designs!
The fun part about this party is the bag of supplies. Gold was obviously my color and boy was I happy about that! These were my supplies to create something with. I had a few ideas can you believe that!
The first thing you will do is get a paper straw and pass your string of beads through it. Put a dab of hot glue on the bottom of the straw to secure the beads. This is what it will look like when you add the glue. I used some gold embroidery thread and tied it to the end of one straw.
Do the same on the other straw.
Cut little triangles out of a sheet of paper.
Grab some yummy green puff paint and write out whatever word you want. Remember, one letter on each flag.
Don't forget to sprinkle with glitter! Hope you enjoyed this post! Make sure to check out everyone else's posts!
What a delicious idea! Love your project.
Give them CAKE and then more CAKE with a fun topper. Too cute.
I have never seen such fancy straws to begin with but wow- how special you have made them.
A great project that can be adapted to many special occasions!
So very clever! I've never thought to use the straws before!


Occupational health and safety in areas of federal jurisdiction is governed by Part II of the Canada Labour Code and the Canada Occupational Health and Safety (COHS) Regulations. The purpose of Part II of the Canada Labour Code is to prevent accidents and injury to health arising out of, linked with or occurring in the course of employment. However, when these efforts fail, the result can often be a work place accident or illness.
It is important to know what needs to be done in the event of an accident or occupational disease. Once the injured or endangered parties have been looked after, the place where the incident happened must be secured for investigation purposes and anything related to the incident must be left undisturbed. The investigation determines what steps need to be taken to prevent a recurrence.
All accidents, occupational diseases and other hazardous occurrences affecting any of the employer's workers must be investigated by a qualified person. The investigation should identify the causes of the occurrence so that the employer, in conjunction with the work place health and safety committee or the health and safety representative, can take the necessary measures to prevent a recurrence.
The employer must designate a qualified person to properly investigate, record and report hazardous occurrences. Work place health and safety committees and health and safety representatives are required to participate in investigations and to provide comments on the employer's investigation report.
The health and safety policy committee, should one exist, can determine the extent to which it considers its participation necessary. For further information on policy committees, work place health and safety committees and health and safety representatives, please refer to pamphlets Pamphlet-6A-Policy Health and Safety Committees, Pamphlet-6B-Work Place Health and Safety Committees and Pamphlet-6C-Health and Safety Representatives respectively.
Disabling injury: any employment injury or an occupational disease that results in either time loss, or modified duties. Disabling injuries can be either temporary (sprained wrist), or permanent (severed limb), depending on whether or not the employee is expected to make a full recovery.
Loss of consciousness: from an electric shock or a toxic or oxygen deficient atmosphere.
Rescue / Revival or other emergency procedures: any incident that requires emergency procedures to be implemented, such as a hazardous substance spill, bomb threat or violence prevention procedure.
In one form or another, all hazardous occurrences must be reported to the Labour Program. The reporting requirements vary depending on the type of occurrence.
Authorization may be required from a health and safety officer before disturbing an accident scene where an employee has been killed or seriously injured. All Labour Program offices have an after-hours emergency telephone number that can be used to contact a health and safety officer.
In addition to the 24 hour report to the Labour Program, where a boiler or pressure vessel, or elevating device is damaged, the employer must record in a log within 72 hours a description of the occurrence including date, time and location. The record must include the causes of the occurrence and the corrective measures taken or the reason for not taking correctives measures. The employer must immediately send a copy of this record to the work place health and safety committee or the health and safety representative.
The report should either be submitted using the form, Hazardous Occurrence Investigation Report (LAB 1070), or it must contain all the information required by this form and deemed acceptable to the Labour Program. Addresses and telephone numbers for the various district offices are available on the Labour Program website or by calling 1-800-641-4049.
Motor vehicle accidents on public roads are subject to the same recording and reporting requirements identified above. If police investigated the accident, the police report must accompany the report on the investigation conducted by the police and the work place health and safety committee. Both the employer's report and the police report must be submitted to a health and safety officer.
The work place health and safety committee or health and safety representative must receive a copy of all investigation reports.
Note: Reports submitted to provincial workers' compensation boards or other insurance agencies do not fulfill an employer's obligation to report to the Labour Program.
Each year, all employers are required to submit to the Minister the Employer's Annual Hazardous Occurrence Investigation Report (LAB 1009) by March 1st for the 12-month period ending December 31st, even if there have not been any hazardous occurrences. This report primarily asks for the total number of: disabling injuries, minor injuries, deaths, occupational diseases and other hazardous occurrences that have occurred in the past year.
Each year the chairperson(s) of the employer's work place health and safety committee must send to the regional Labour Program office, the Work Place Committee Report (LAB 1058) by March 1st for the 12-month period ending December 31st. This report includes the number of minor and disabling injuries, and the number of investigations the Committee has participated in.
All records of hazardous occurrences, including the log of minor injuries, the employer investigation reports (including police reports), and the employer annual reports to the Minister, must be kept by the employer for a period of 10 years.
Employers in the air, rail and marine sectors are required to investigate and report hazardous occurrences onboard aircraft, trains, and marine vessels, to Transport Canada in much the same way as they are required to investigate and report hazardous occurrences on the ground to the Labour Program. Specific annual report forms must be used for the annual reporting requirements.
All forms are available at the Labour Program website.
