The New Jersey Army and Air National Guard celebrated Unity Day on Thursday, June 18, 2015 at the National Guard's Joint Training and Training Development Center at Fort Dix, New Jersey. This year's observance kicked off with a 5K Fun Walk/Run followed by official ceremonies.
The New Jersey National Guard was the first state militia in the country to desegregate. In April of 1930, with the full support and encouragement of then Governor Alfred Driscoll, the State Legislature took the unprecedented step of approving the formation of the First Separate Battalion, New Jersey Army National Guard. Even though these actions were in apparent violation of federal law, the state appropriated funds for the organization of this battalion. In July of 1931, 63 members of Company A of New Jersey's newest unit were mustered-in at an old movie theater in Newark, New Jersey.

Wheal Unity Wood mine, between 1815 and 1843 produced large tonnages of copper ore, but by 1843 its output had reduced considerably, although it still employed 200 workers. Unusually for this district, the mine also produced some tin at depth.
During the second half of the nineteenth century the mine opened and closed frequently, and was operated under a number of different, including West Poldice (1880-85) and Tolgullow United Mines (1886-1903). However Wheal Unity Wood is the name that appears to have been used for it most often.
A 70-inch pumping engine at Magor's Shaft was purchased, in about 1869, from Prosper United near Marazion. It seems probable that the 20-inch whim engine at Wheal Bush was bought from Prosper United too. This engine operated both a whim and the stamps.
Killifreth, at the northern end of the woods, started to become more important, and before the end of the the 1900's had returned to being principally a tin mine. It was a model of a small-scale mine, with safety features on its skips, a shiftboss system underground and a new and efficient tin stamps and dressing plant. Old Sump Shaft (Engine Shaft) was fitted with a 50-inch cylinder pumping engine, a 32-inch stamps engine installed, with buddles and calciner, and a steam whim. In the early 1890s an 80-inch pumping engine was installed at Hawke's (Richard's) Shaft. However by 1896, with the tin price dropping, the mine was not profitable. In 1897 the underground was leased to Truro School of Mines for the training of students, and most of the machinery and plant was sold off.
When the tin price picked up,the owners installed a second-hand 85inch engine in Hawke's engine house in 1912 (there had been an 80-inch steam engine). Shafts were examined and put in order, but no actual mining took place the First World War intervened. After the War preparations the tin price slump of 1920/21 closed it again.
During the middle of the 1920s Killifreth took over Wheal Busy to mine arsenic, but this brief revival was over by 1927, and mining ceased.
A tour of the museum and a Māori Cultural Performance at the Auckland Museum is a vibrant glimpse of Māori culture in an engaging performance which takes you on a journey through the story of Aotearoa New Zealand and Tāmaki Makaurau Auckland. The Museum's performance is recognized as being one of the best in New Zealand and culminates with a version of the world-famous haka; [The haka is a type of ancient Māori war dance traditionally used on the battlefield, as well as when groups came together in peace. Haka are a fierce display of a tribe's pride, strength and unity. Actions include violent foot-stamping, tongue protrusions and rhythmic body slapping to accompany a loud chant. The words of a haka often poetically describe ancestors and events in the tribe's history]. Auckland War Memorial Museum Tāmaki Paenga Hira (or simply the Auckland Museum) is one of New Zealand's most important museums and war memorials. Its collections concentrate on New Zealand history (and especially the history of the Auckland Region), natural history, and military history. The museum is also one of the most iconic Auckland buildings, constructed in the neo-classicist style, and sitting on a grassed plinth (the remains of a dormant volcano) in the Auckland Domain, a large public park close to the Auckland Central Business District. Auckland Museum's collections and exhibits began in 1852. In 1867 Aucklanders formed a learned society – the Auckland Philosophical Society, later the Auckland Institute. Within a few years the society merged with the museum and Auckland Institute and Museum was the organization’s name until 1996. Auckland War Memorial Museum was the name of the new building opened in 1929, but since 1996 was more commonly used for the institution as well. From 1991 to 2003 the museum's Maori name was Te Papa Whakahiku.
Here's a variation on the old Rangemaster treble-booster pedal. My version is made with a new-production AC128 Germanium transistor. The hFE measurement for this transistor was 56.
If you haven't ever used one of these, the idea that it's a treble-booster is kind of misleading. I mean, it does do that. In fact, it's excellent if you have a JTM45 or an AC30 that sounds kind of, "tubby" or, "farty." It's how Clapton got his, "Bluesbreaker" combo to sound the way it did. Brian May used one on the early Queen albums. Of course, Tony Iommi used one right up until the late 70's. See, germanium transistors are little amplification devices and they aren't very good at it. So even though this isn't a fuzz pedal, it isn't clean, either. It distorts the signal as well as changing the tonal spectrum. At unity gain it will be a little gritty. If you use it as a volume-booster it will be more gritty. In my opinion, this is cooler than most fuzz pedals. It gives you kind of a cool, bright tone, but it also "pre-conditions" your sound so a slightly overdriven tube amp sounds more aggro without being obviously fuzz-toned. It's a very cool and subtle effect. I never owned one, but I've always been curious. Now that I've tried one I plan to build more of them.
I cut the board out of Garolite G10, so you know it will last forever. Then I stake the board with turrets and hand-wire the whole dealie right here in the Fool Audio Research World Headquarters!
It's got a DC input jack, but remember that this is a positive-ground pedal and you'll need a polarity adapter if you want to use it with a standard wall wart. Or you can use it with something like Fulltone FPS-2 that's set up for positive-ground.
You know it, you love it...the sound that Tony Iommi used to take you to the netherworld! Hand-wired for her pleasure! It's the Fool Audio Research, RAGEMASTER!
