About this object
History of use
Stood at north end of village facing the beach along a small bay on the east side of SGang Gwaay (Anthony) Island. Stood outside against the centre of front wall of a small unnamed house. (Wilson Duff and Mike Kew thought it might have been the mortuary house of Chief Ninstints, but George MacDonald thought that was unlikely.)
Narrative
The pole once stood at the north end of the village, facing the beach, along a small bay on the east side of SGang Gwaay (Anthony) Island. SGang Gwaay had been abandoned around the 1880's, but the pole was still intact in 1901, at which time it had, from the top down: a separate eagle; a three ringed hat; a supernatural snag; and a whale. The pole was collected during a joint salvage expedition by the University of British Columbia and British Columbia Provincial Museum. The following people assisted with this expedition: Smyly, John; Atkins, Bernard; Reid, Bill; Duncan, Kelly; Jones, Roy; Jones, Clarence; Jones, Frank.

Physical description
Base portion of a totem pole, crescent shaped in cross-section, carved in shallow and deep relief. Seated grizzly bear, with a partial human face between its squared, erect ears; curled nostrils; upturned mouth holds hindquarters of a frog which hangs between the bear's upright human hands with four fingers folded over each palm. A human face wearing a two ringed hat appears between bear's legs. Faint traces of light blue are apparent in eye socket areas, red in nostrils, and black on pupils.

=====================
The Kunghit Haida (sometimes spelled Kungit or Kung-hit) are a southern subgroup of the Haida people, a coastal Indigenous nation native to Haida Gwaii—an archipelago off the north coast of British Columbia, Canada. Specifically:
Kunghit refers to the southernmost group of Haida, historically centered around Kunghit Island (now part of Moresby Island) at the southern tip of Haida Gwaii.
Their main historical village was Ninstints (Haida name: Sgaang Gwaay), located on Anthony Island, which is now a UNESCO World Heritage Site and part of Gwaii Haanas National Park Reserve and Haida Heritage Site.
The Kunghit Haida were renowned carvers, canoe-builders, and warriors, and their southern location made them important maritime traders and defenders of the Haida territories.
Over time, disease and colonial disruption led to population decline, and the Kunghit eventually merged with other Haida groups, especially those in Skidegate (on central Haida Gwaii).
Sgaang Gwaay (Ninstints) is especially famous for its standing totem poles, which are among the best-preserved examples of Haida monumental art.
There is a descendant community of the Kunghit Haida, though they no longer live as a distinct group in their traditional southern Haida Gwaii territory.
Key Points:
Cultural and Lineal Continuity
The Kunghit Haida people did not vanish, but over time—particularly after devastating smallpox epidemics in the 19th century—they merged with other Haida communities, especially in Skidegate on central Graham Island.
Descendants of the Kunghit Haida now form part of the larger Skidegate Band Council and are active members of the modern Haida Nation (represented by the Council of the Haida Nation).
Many families in Skidegate and elsewhere in Haida Gwaii trace their lineage to Kunghit clans and ancestors, and chiefly names from Kunghit lineages are still in use.
️ Cultural Preservation
The legacy of the Kunghit Haida is particularly tied to Sgaang Gwaay (Ninstints), now protected as a UNESCO World Heritage Site and jointly managed by the Haida Nation and Parks Canada.
Haida hereditary leaders and cultural stewards continue to care for the site and pass down Kunghit knowledge, including clan histories, songs, and crest traditions.
🔥 The last known chief of the Kunghit Haida was Ninstints (c. early 19th century), for whom the abandoned village was named by outsiders. His Haida name was Nan Sdins, and his descendants likely live in Skidegate or Prince Rupert today.

Lucky #23. Lucky for family birthdays, great athletes, and in mathematics the 9th prime number. And of weird and enchanting significance. But unfortunately the Lottery gods always say "Sorry Ernie, NOT today".
Number 34 for 100 Flowers 2022
The pink semi-double flowers with darker pink veining, and white petal edges are freely produced through April and into May.'Yours Truly' originated as a sport of 'Lady Vansittart', and so has the same compact, bushy upright habit and glossy, dark green leaves with long, twisted tips. As with all bicoloured camellias, 'Yours Truly' may occasionally produce a plain red flower.

From David Austin website
"Always one of the first English Roses to start flowering, its perfect scrolled buds open to large, rosette-shaped flowers of bright glowing pink. The strong, perfectly balanced Old Rose scent is often described as being the quintessential Old Rose fragrance. A vigorous rose; it will form a medium-sized, upright shrub. Named for the famous garden designer and author. David Austin, 1986."

" We had new orders ! Destroy the A-series assassin droids, before they could kill some Jedi. I kinda failed. Kinda. For me it is okay, but less for command. I destroyed every assassin droids I met , but some of them found some Jedis, and Padawans before me. Not even able to protect themselves from a droid. I have the feeling that we, from the 253rd, are the babysitters of these Jedis. I had to take care of a Padawan who's master was lost. By lost, I mean he was killed. The Jedi, his apprentice and a couple of clone attacked a trench held by Nationalists. Most of the clone died. Well, all of them in fact. The Jedis made it into the trench, and started to cut some arms. And head. Stuffs like that. But then the assassin droid I was tracking found them. He shot the Jedi in the back, and was about to do the same to the Padawan, but I killed it before it could do that regrettable act . Then the Padawan get shot by one of the few Nationalists who were remaining. I finished what the Jedis started in the trench. Only one Nationalist was alive. He was yelling in pain, as the Jedi, before he died, cut his leg.
/CT-1024-52, Me/ Hey, Padawan. Achieve this man. He's suffering.
/Padawan/ .. No ! I ... I can't ! I can't ! No !! Help me to get out of there !
/CT-1024-52, Me/ Not until you achieve him.
/Padawan/ Why don't you do it yourself ?
/CT-1024-52, Me/ Always the clones who have to do the dirty work right ? No, I don't want to.
/Padawan/ You said he was suffering. Do it
/CT-1024-52, Me/ No. I don't give a fuck if he's suffering. I don't want to. You should be happy that I'm not mutilating him right now. But, you don't like to see him suffer. You're a Jedi after all. Well, sort of.
He stabbed the men in is heart
/Padawan/ Now help to get out of here. I'm wounded.
/CT-1024-52, Me/ I don't care. Get out that trench alone. I already saved your life. Twice.
/Padawan/ Twice ?
/CT-1024-52, Me/ The A-serie droid first, then the Nationalists. Twice. Now get out of there, we're moving. The command, unlike me, would be happy to see a Jedi alive. Even if you're not really a Jedi.
/Padawan/ You're completly insane.
/CT-1024-52, Me/ Yeap, I know. I'm fucked up. I'm a bit of a psychopath... But adapted to this war.
Indeed I was. Jabiim is an hell. I liked it at first, but now, I just want to get out of there. Because of the wrong decisions from command, we will lost. It's sure. Alpha, Kenobi, and most of the Jedis generals are missing. Or dead. I think that none of us will leave this planet alive."

Number Seven blast furnace, one of the largest in North America, has a capacity of 2.9 million nTPA, a working volume of 83,567 cubic feet, and was completed in 1975 by Ashmore Benson Pease and Company.
Essar Steel Algoma is currently, again, under the Companies' Creditors Arrangement Act: A Canadian law that allows financially troubled corporations the opportunity to plan and restructure their affairs to avoid bankruptcy.
Essar Steel Algoma has been renamed (May 2017) simply as Algoma.
Group shot from the opening number. I think that's Todd Eldredge, Xue Shen, Jennifer Robinson, Michael Weiss and John Zimmerman.

Overtoun Bridge is a category B listed structure over the Overtoun Burn on the approach road to Overtoun House near Dumbarton in West Dunbartonshire, Scotland.
Completed in 1895 to a design by the civil engineer H. E. Milner, the bridge has attracted international media attention because of the number of dogs who have reportedly leaped to their deaths from it, killed on the rocks 50 feet (15 m) below
