Les raquetteurs is a 1958 Direct Cinema documentary film co-directed by Michel Brault and Gilles Groulx. The film explores life in rural Quebec, at a convention of snowshoers in Sherbrooke, Quebec in February 1958. The film is notable for helping to establish the then-nascent French language production unit at the Nati... | https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Les_raquetteurs |
Grant McLean, then head of production for the NFB, had been angry that what was to have been a three-minute vignette had quadrupled in length and ordered the film to be used for stock footage. However, NFB producers Tom Daly and Guy Glover interceded on the young filmmakers' behalf. | https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Les_raquetteurs |
At the time of its release, Les raquetteurs raised some concerns about its "nonofficial" style, and ruffled some feathers in Quebec for its portrayal of rural Quebecers. | https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Les_raquetteurs |

The proposals contained several controversial and provocative elements, such as: A legally binding guarantee that NATO would not admit any new members, especially Ukraine and Georgia, and that it would not deploy any additional troops or weapons in the existing member states. A revision of the 1997 NATO–Russia Founding... | https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Russian_December_2021_ultimatum |
The proposals were met with skepticism and rejection by the US, NATO, and the OSCE, who viewed them as unrealistic, unacceptable, and incompatible with the principles and values of Euro-Atlantic security. They also expressed concern about Russia's continued military buildup near Ukraine's border, which they regarded as... | https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Russian_December_2021_ultimatum |

A gristmill (also: grist mill, corn mill, flour mill, feed mill or feedmill) grinds cereal grain into flour and middlings. The term can refer to either the grinding mechanism or the building that holds it. Grist is grain that has been separated from its chaff in preparation for grinding. | https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Gristmill |
The Greek geographer Strabo reports in his Geography a water-powered grain-mill to have existed near the palace of king Mithradates VI Eupator at Cabira, Asia Minor, before 71 BC.The early mills had horizontal paddle wheels, an arrangement which later became known as the "Norse wheel", as many were found in Scandinavia... | https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Gristmill |
This dependence on the volume and speed of flow of the water also meant that the speed of rotation of the stone was highly variable and the optimum grinding speed could not always be maintained.Vertical wheels were in use in the Roman Empire by the end of the first century BC, and these were described by Vitruvius. The... | https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Gristmill |
The peak of Roman technology is probably the Barbegal aqueduct and mill where water with a 19-metre fall drove sixteen water wheels, giving a grinding capacity estimated at 28 tons per day. Water mills seem to have remained in use during the post-Roman period. Manually operated mills utilizing a crank-and-connecting ro... | https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Gristmill |
Geared gristmills were built in the medieval Near East and North Africa, which were used for grinding grain and other seeds to produce meals. Gristmills in the Islamic world were powered by both water and wind. The first wind-powered gristmills were built in the 9th and 10th centuries in what are now Afghanistan, Pakis... | https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Gristmill |
The Egyptian town of Bilbays had a grain-processing factory that produced an estimated 300 tons of flour and grain per day.From the late 10th century onwards, there was an expansion of grist-milling in Northern Europe. In England, the Domesday survey of 1086 gives a precise count of England's water-powered flour mills:... | https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Gristmill |
In England, the number of mills in operation followed population growth, and peaked at around 17,000 by 1300.Limited extant examples of gristmills can be found in Europe from the High Middle Ages. An extant well-preserved waterwheel and gristmill on the Ebro River in Spain is associated with the Real Monasterio de Nues... | https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Gristmill |
Although the terms "gristmill" or "corn mill" can refer to any mill that grinds grain, the terms were used historically for a local mill where farmers brought their own grain and received ground meal or flour, minus a percentage called the "miller's toll." Early mills were almost always built and supported by farming c... | https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Gristmill |
These communities were dependent on their local mill as bread was a staple part of the diet. Classical mill designs are usually water-powered, though some are powered by the wind or by livestock. In a watermill a sluice gate is opened to allow water to flow onto, or under, a water wheel to make it turn. | https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Gristmill |
In most watermills the water wheel was mounted vertically, i.e., edge-on, in the water, but in some cases horizontally (the tub wheel and so-called Norse wheel). Later designs incorporated horizontal steel or cast iron turbines and these were sometimes refitted into the old wheel mills. In most wheel-driven mills, a la... | https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Gristmill |
This system of gearing ensures that the main shaft turns faster than the water wheel, which typically rotates at around 10 rpm. The millstones themselves turn at around 120 rpm. They are laid one on top of the other. | https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Gristmill |
The bottom stone, called the bed, is fixed to the floor, while the top stone, the runner, is mounted on a separate spindle, driven by the main shaft. A wheel called the stone nut connects the runner's spindle to the main shaft, and this can be moved out of the way to disconnect the stone and stop it turning, leaving th... | https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Gristmill |
The distance between the stones can be varied to produce the grade of flour required; moving the stones closer together produces finer flour. The grain is lifted in sacks onto the sack floor at the top of the mill on the hoist. The sacks are then emptied into bins, where the grain falls down through a hopper to the mil... | https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Gristmill |
The flow of grain is regulated by shaking it in a gently sloping trough (the slipper) from which it falls into a hole in the center of the runner stone. The milled grain (flour) is collected as it emerges through the grooves in the runner stone from the outer rim of the stones and is fed down a chute to be collected in... | https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Gristmill |
In order to prevent vibrations from the millstones shaking the building apart, they were usually placed on a separate timber foundation, not attached to the mill walls, known as a husk. This foundation isolated the building from vibrations coming from the stones and main gearing and also allowed for the easy re-levelin... | https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Gristmill |
American inventor Oliver Evans revolutionized the labor-intensive process of early mills at the end of the eighteenth century when he automated the process of making flour. His inventions included the Elevator, wood or tin buckets on a vertical endless leather belt, used to move grain and flour vertically upward; the C... | https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Gristmill |
In 1795 he published "The Young Mill-Wright and Miller’s Guide" which fully described the process.Evans himself did not use the term gristmill to describe his automatic flour mill, which was purpose designed as a merchant mill (he used the more general term "water-mill"). In his book his only reference to "grist" (or "... | https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Gristmill |
Modern mills typically use electricity or fossil fuels to spin heavy steel, or cast iron, serrated and flat rollers to separate the bran and germ from the endosperm. The endosperm is ground to create white flour, which may be recombined with the bran and germ to create whole grain or graham flour. The different milling... | https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Gristmill |
It is claimed that, as the stones grind relatively slowly, the wheat germ is not exposed to the sort of excessive temperatures that could cause the fat from the germ portion to oxidize and become rancid, which would destroy some of the vitamin content. Stone-milled flour has been found to be relatively high in thiamin,... | https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Gristmill |
One common pest found in flour mills is the Mediterranean flour moth. Moth larvae produce a web-like material that clogs machinery, sometimes causing grain mills to shut down. | https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Gristmill |
The Greenville Eight was a group of African American students, seven in high school and one in college, that successfully protested the segregated library system in Greenville, South Carolina in 1960. Among the eight was Jesse Jackson, a college freshman. As a result of the staged sit-in, the library system in the city... | https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Greenville_Eight |
By 1960, public libraries in Columbia and Spartanburg integrated without much controversy, but the library system in Greenville remained segregated. Jesse Jackson, a Greenville native, who later became known for his civil rights activism, returned home from college over Christmas break during his freshman year at the U... | https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Greenville_Eight |
Many of the books at the colored library were outdated and in poor condition. The librarian at the colored branch wrote Jackson a note and told him to visit the white-only branch as the librarian there was her friend. Upon arriving at the main branch, Jackson went to the rear of the building where the librarian was spe... | https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Greenville_Eight |
Jackson showed the librarian the note; the book Jackson needed was on the shelf inside, but the librarian said he would have to wait six days before he could use it. Jackson attempted to plead with the librarian, but the policeman took her side, adding, "you heard what she said." Angry, Jackson vowed to return in the s... | https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Greenville_Eight |
To counter the protest, officials closed the library for the day. Two weeks later, seven students returned to protest the library's segregation policies, and they were arrested for disorderly conduct, though their actions were never brought to trial. On July 14, Jackson and five other students stood on the steps of the... | https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Greenville_Eight |
After police threatened the protesters with arrest if they entered the building, the protesters left. The News and Courier, a white newspaper in Charleston, South Carolina, wrote in response to the incident, "Third time this year that groups of Negroes have invaded the quiet of the public library." | https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Greenville_Eight |
Reverend James S. Hall Jr., the vice president of the Greenville South Carolina NAACP, who had counseled Jackson, noted that the entire point of the protest was to be arrested. He added that they but would likely be released without further incident after arrest. Two days later, Jackson returned to the library with sev... | https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Greenville_Eight |
On July 16, 1960, eight African American students, seven in high school and one in college, entered the whites-only branch of the public library. The eight students silently browsed the shelves and sat down to read. Several white patrons in the library left upon seeing the student protesters. A librarian immediately in... | https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Greenville_Eight |
The sit-in lasted approximately 40 minutes before the police arrived and arrested all eight protesters. Donald J. Sampson, the first African-American lawyer in Greenville, arrived after the students had been in jail for approximately fifteen minutes, and the court released the students on a $30 bond. They were each cha... | https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Greenville_Eight |
On July 26, 1960, Sampson filed a federal lawsuit in the United States District Court for the Western District of South Carolina. Sampson claimed that the reason the students were arrested was that "we still have a bunch of illiterate white trash who don't know enough but to have these students arrested." The NAACP con... | https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Greenville_Eight |
Greenville Mayor J. Kenneth Cass added, The efforts made by a few Negroes to use the White library will now deprive White and Negro citizens of the benefit of a library ... This same group, if allowed to continue in their self-centered purpose, may conceivably bring about a closing of all schools, parks, swimming pools... | https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Greenville_Eight |
Charles Cecil Wyche of the district court dismissed the case, stating that any ruling was irrelevant since the libraries were closed. But he contended that if the library system reopened in its segregated form, it would be "liable to further discrimination lawsuits". On September 19, the city reopened the libraries qui... | https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Greenville_Eight |
The mayor, refusing to publicly admit that the libraries were integrated, added, "The city libraries will be operated for the benefit of any citizen having a legitimate need for the libraries and their facilities. They will not be used for demonstrations, purposeless assembly, or propaganda purposes." Ultimately, the s... | https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Greenville_Eight |

The FDA Modernization Act of 1997 was a piece of legislation that concentrated on reforming the regulation of food, medical products, and cosmetics in the United States. The following are the most significant provisions of the act: | https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Food_and_Drug_Administration_Modernization_Act_of_1997 |
The act reauthorized, for five more years, the Prescription Drug User Fee Act of 1992 (PDUFA). The purpose of this was to enable the FDA to reduce the average time required for a drug review from 30 months to 15 months. | https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Food_and_Drug_Administration_Modernization_Act_of_1997 |
The law enacts many FDA initiatives undertaken in recent years under Vice President Al Gore's Reinventing Government program.

The law, however, seeks to prevent manufacturing under the guise of compounding by establishing parameters within which t... | https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Food_and_Drug_Administration_Modernization_Act_of_1997 |
The act complements and builds on the FDA's recent measures to focus its resources on medical devices that present the greatest risks to patients. For example, the law exempts from premarket notification, class I devices that are not intended for a use that is of substantial importance in preventing impairment of human... | https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Food_and_Drug_Administration_Modernization_Act_of_1997 |
The act eliminates the requirement of the FDA's premarket approval for most packaging and other substances that come in contact with food and may migrate into it. Instead, the law establishes a process whereby the manufacturer can notify the agency of its intent to use certain food contact substances and, unless the FD... | https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Food_and_Drug_Administration_Modernization_Act_of_1997 |
While the act reduces or simplifies many regulatory obligations of manufacturers, it does not lower the standards by which medical products are introduced into the market place. In the area of drugs, the law codifies the agency's current practice of allowing in certain circumstances one clinical investigation as the ba... | https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Food_and_Drug_Administration_Modernization_Act_of_1997 |
The FDAMA required all of these specifications, in addition many of these provisions were required to completed in a specific time period. These are specified in the FDAMA Implementation Chart of Completed Items. | https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Food_and_Drug_Administration_Modernization_Act_of_1997 |
Exploration began with this 1997 act. The government established ClinicalTrials.gov as a result in 2000. | https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Food_and_Drug_Administration_Modernization_Act_of_1997 |
The biggest complaint in regards to this act was the amount of time, money, and effort it would require. This act required the government to make good on a lot of its promises within the FDA. On October 7, 1998, the Acting Commissioner of the Food and Drug Administration, Michael A. Friedman, M.D., said this in regards... | https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Food_and_Drug_Administration_Modernization_Act_of_1997 |
We are thoroughly committed to meeting this challenge. Critics questioned the necessity of the act, stating that the Federal Food, Drug, and Cosmetic Act was a substantial legislature on its own. In addition, many questioned whether the shortened time frame for the approval of prescription drugs would do more harm than... | https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Food_and_Drug_Administration_Modernization_Act_of_1997 |
