gunnison;roaring fork river;roaring;peaks;arkansas river;roaring fork;gunnison river;arkansas The area is an important watershed for three rivers on both sides of the Continental Divide: the upper Arkansas River, the Gunnison River, and the Roaring Fork River. There are numerous alpine creeks in the area's wide valleys and these are all quite marshy. Snow does not usually begin to melt until May or June and it remains year-round in places on some of the high peaks. |
continental divide trail;buena;arkansas river;buena vista;elk;arkansas Both the Continental Divide Trail and the Colorado Trail cross the area. The Continental Divide Trail follows the course of the Continental Divide itself with several side spurs. The Colorado Trail passes through the lower eastern portion of the area and crosses Pine Creek, Frenchman Creek and Three Elk Creek all of which drain into the Arkansas River north of Buena Vista. |
ponderosa;belford;ponderosa pine;huron;winfield;utes In earlier times the area was inhabited by various people. There are groves of old growth Ponderosa Pine on the eastern side which bear evidence of stripping by bands of native Utes who inhabited the area and used the bark from living trees for clothing and food. The area is also dotted with the evidence of mining operations from the last century. In the Pine Creek valley - one of the central valleys between Mounts Oxford, Belford and Missouri to the north and Mt. Harvard and Columbia to the south, there is evidence of an earlier settlement on both sides of the stream comprising four cabins and a horse corral. South of the town of Winfield are the spare remains of the town of Harrison at the base of Mt. Huron. |

whiten;minimalism In contrast to the "Minimalism" of the 1960s and 1970s. Whiten's art included elements of performance in her sculptures by emphasizing the body processes involved in her work. She built stocks and scaffolding-like structures of wood, concrete blocks, and rope, each of which she designed with a particular male model in mind. The scaffolding would then hold the models bodies in predetermined poses, while a team worked to cast them in plaster. In order to cast the bodies, Whiten would first shave the men and coat the body in petroleum jelly. The casts were then used to produce fiberglass body parts. |
colette;oakville;kipps;colette whiten;whiten;newsmakers;seducing;hobbs;sudbury;needlepoint;la scala For her 1972 exhibition at the Ontario College of Art, Whiten exhibited her body-part sculptures, along with the scaffolds that she used to create them, and photographic silkscreens and slide projections that she had taken to document the process of their creation. The effect was that the stocks resembled severed limbs, and the scaffolds torture devices. Until 1975 the performance of creating the work was often as important as the final cast.Although Whiten's work reversed the more common gender roles between artist and model, she denied that her work had a feminist agenda. One of her fiberglass pieces is a bust of a man sucking his thumb."Whiten's People Sculpture(1983) is a work of self-rusting steel panels with cutouts of figures that commissioned by the Sudbury Chamber of Commerce and stands in a small park at the corner of Brady and Paris streets in downtown Sudbury, Ontario.In the mid-1980s, Whiten's work took a new course when she began making small-scale stitched works. The cross-stitched needlework's imagery was sourced from daily newspapers. The first series focussed on the male newsmakers of the world, specifically political leaders, represented in a traditionally female craft. The second series of needlepoint works again used images from media as sources, but of women. The women represented by the media are typically in groups, either mourning or protesting.In 1992, she returned to making large-scale works, this time making beaded images sourced from mass media events. In these works Whiten considers how media shapes an individual's understanding of current events. Some of the beaded images represented actual headlines from the news, while others source news photos. A number of these works were in the exhibition, Colette Whiten: Seducing the Receiver at the Oakville Galleries in Ontario.Whiten's sculpture La Scala, created in collaboration with Paul Kipps, is on outdoor public display in downtown Toronto.Whiten has taught at the Ontario College of Art. since 1974. She has also taught at York University from 1975 to 1977.Colette Whiten is represented by Susan Hobbs Gallery in Toronto. |
whiten;governor general's academic medal Upon graduation from the Ontario College of Art in 1972, Whiten received the Governor General's Academic Medal for her first cast piece exhibition. She also received Toronto Arts Foundation's Visual Arts Award in 1991. Whiten received the Governor General's Award in 2013 in the Visual and Media Arts category. |

vacuum distillation;coker;petroleum coke;naphtha;coker unit A coker or coker unit is an oil refinery processing unit that converts the residual oil from the vacuum distillation column into low molecular weight hydrocarbon gases, naphtha, light and heavy gas oils, and petroleum coke. The process thermally cracks the long chain hydrocarbon molecules in the residual oil feed into shorter chain molecules leaving behind the excess carbon in the form of petroleum coke. |
rotary kiln;petroleum coke;coker;unprocessed This petroleum coke can either be fuel grade (high in sulphur and metals) or anode grade (low in sulphur and metals). The raw coke from the coker is often referred to as green coke. In this context, "green" means unprocessed. The further processing of green coke by calcining in a rotary kiln removes residual volatile hydrocarbons from the coke. The calcined petroleum coke can be further processed in an anode baking oven in order to produce anode coke of the desired shape and physical properties. The anodes are mainly used in the aluminium and steel industry. |
coker Types of coker units |
cokers;coker;delayed coker There are three types of cokers used in oil refineries: Delayed coker, Fluid coker and Flexicoker. The one that is by far the most commonly used is the delayed coker. |

nova scotia;scotia;cjfx-fm;antigonish;inverness CJFX-FM is a Canadian radio station broadcasting at 98.9 FM in Antigonish, Nova Scotia. The station also broadcasts at 102.5 FM in Inverness County, Nova Scotia. The station has been broadcasting since March 25, 1943. The station is owned & operated by Atlantic Broadcasting Co. Ltd. and currently broadcasts an adult contemporary format branded as 98.9 X-FM with the current slogan "Nothing but hits". |
cjfx CJFX began broadcasting on March 25, 1943, and continued on-air at 580 on the AM dial for sixty years. CJFX was a pioneer in broadcasting educational programming and live music in its early years, while boasting strong community support for its radio content, including pop, rock, country, Celtic and traditional music. While on 580, it was a variety station (country, pop, rock, Celtic etc.). The 98.9 FM signal first went on the air in 1998 in order to correct coverage issues with the AM signal and rebroadcast the AM programming. In 2003, CJFX was authorized to make 98.9 FM the main signal, increase its power and simulcast its programming on 580 AM for ninety days. At this time, CJFX changed its on-air branding to "98.9 X-FM" with an adult contemporary music format. |
nova scotia;nish;scotia;cjfx-fm;cjfx;inverness CJFX also operates a transmitter located in Inverness, Nova Scotia at 102.5 FM in order to correct coverage issues that were being created as a result of the AM transmitter being shut down. In 2007, CJFX was authorized by the CRTC to operate another transmitter located in Pleasant Bay, Cape Breton in order to correct coverage problems in the area due to the mountainous terrain that hinders both the main 98.9 FM and 102.5 FM signal from Inverness. The area once received a strong signal from the old AM 580 frequency but lost its strong coverage when the AM signal shut down. When the AM stations from Prince Edward Island were shut down, Pleasant Bay was left without strong commercial radio service. In March 2013, CJFX-FM rebranded to 98.9 The Nish but reverted back to its former X-FM branding after a few short months. As of today, CJFX-FM is branded as 98.9 X-FM playing the best hits of yesterday and today with their slogan "Nothing but hits". |

donald tsang;civic party;tsang;leong;alan leong The Civic Party (CP) is a pro-democracy liberal political party in Hong Kong. It is currently chaired by barrister Alan Leong.The party was formed in 2006 on the basis of the Basic Law Article 45 Concern Group, which was derived from the Basic Law Article 23 Concern Group that rooted in its opposition to the proposed legislation of the Article 23 of the Basic Law of Hong Kong. Mainly composed of leading barristers, the party first contested in the 2007 Chief Executive election with Alan Leong unsuccessfully challenged incumbent Donald Tsang elected by the Election Committee. |
civic party;lsd;league of social democrats The Civic Party joined the League of Social Democrats (LSD) in the "Five Constituencies Referendum" campaign in 2010 to pressure the government to implement the universal suffrage of the Chief Executive and Legislative Council in 2012 over the constitutional reform package. In the 2012 Legislative Council election, the party took an aggressive electoral strategy, which resulted in winning six seats and overtaking the Democratic Party in vote share. |
localism;civic party;alvin yeung;leung;speeded;yeung;edward leung In light of the rise of localism, the Civic Party speeded up its rejuvenation and localisation after its candidate Alvin Yeung defeated Edward Leung of the Hong Kong Indigenous in the 2016 New Territories East by-election, which Yeung became the party leader later in the year. The party received a largest victory by winning 32 seats in the 2019 District Council election in the midst of the citywide anti-government protests. |
kwok;dennis kwok;kwok ka-ki;alvin yeung;yeung In July 2020 after Beijing installed the national security law on Hong Kong, three of the five Civic incumbent legislators, Alvin Yeung, Kwok Ka-ki and Dennis Kwok were barred from running for re-election and subsequently unseated, which resulted in the mass resignations of the pro-democracy legislators, leaving the party with no representation in the legislature for the first time and Yeung's resignation as party leader. After all local councillors resigned from office or from the party in late 2021 as threats of disqualification loomed, the party has since turned low profile. |

Four of them, Audrey Eu, Alan Leong, Ronny Tong and Margaret Ng were barristers, who had already cooperated as an informal bloc called the Article 45 Concern Group, reflecting their efforts to realise universal suffrage with Article 45 and 68 of the Hong Kong Basic Law. They were joined by two other incumbents, the then functional constituency Legislative Councillors Mandy Tam (Accountancy) and Fernando Cheung (Social Welfare), as well as a number of pan-democratic academics. Political scientist Professor Kuan Hsin-chi became the first Chairman of the Civic Party and Audrey Eu the first Leader of the party. At the time of formation, the party was holding six seats in the Legislative Council, making it the fourth largest party. |
ronny tong;kowloon;ronny;alan leong;leong The Article 45 Concern Group was transferred from the Article 23 Concern Group launched in 2002 opposing the legislation of the Hong Kong Basic Law Article 23. The barristers rose to fame as the issue escalated to a full-scale civil movement in the mid summer of 2003. Alan Leong and Ronny Tong were both able to elected to the Legislative Council in the geographical constituency direct elections in Kowloon East and New Territories East respectively. |

The party and its ally actively fill candidates running in the 800-member December 2006 Election Committee Subsector elections and won more than 100 seats. Leong's winning sufficient nomination votes to enter the race was viewed as a breakthrough in what previously had been seen as an entirely Beijing-orchestrated process. However a safe margin in the Election Committee to assure Donald Tsang re-election, Leong eventually lost by 123 to 649 votes as a result. In the November 2007 District Council elections, the party contested 42 constituencies. Five incumbents now under the Civic Party flag were re-elected, and three rookies picked up new seats.With a slate of widely respected legislators projecting an image of competence and ability, the Civic Party went into the September 2008 Legislative Council elections heavily favoured, with some pundits predicting they would take over as the flagship of the pan-democratic movement from what at the time seemed to be an ailing Democratic Party. However, the party's results failed to match pre-election predictions. Ronny Tong only took the sixth out of seven seats in his constituency, Alan Leong the final seat. While the Civics won a new seat for District Councilor Tanya Chan by placing Audrey Eu after Chan in the candidate list in Hong Kong Island, Mandy Tam's internal battles with Accountancy functional constituency (FC) cost Tam her seat. In addition, Fernando Cheung's decision to give up his Social Welfare FC seat in favour of running in the New Territories West geographic constituency (GC) proved disastrous. Finally, Kowloon West GC candidate Claudia Mo found herself under fierce attack by League of Social Democrats (LSD) chairman Wong Yuk-man, which the Civics believe cost Mo the election. As a result, the Civic Party dropped one seat in total, while retaining the three seats in the geographical constituency and one seat in the Legal FC and also gaining a new seat in Hong Kong Island, but losing two seats in the Accountancy and Social Welfare FCs. |

At the party's 6 December internal elections, Professor Kuan Hsin-chi was re-elected chairman and Audrey Eu remained as Party Leader. Vice-Chairman Fernando Cheung and Treasurer Mandy Tam, however, resigned to take responsibility for their defeats. While Alan Leong replaced Cheung as vice-chairman, Cheung's duties as party strategist were picked up by Secretary-General Kenneth Chan Ka-lok. Tanya Chan was elected Chairman of the "Young Civics", the party's youth wing.Newly elected Civic Party Secretary-General Kenneth Chan suggested that the party should transformed from the elitist "barristers club" image of the "blue-blooded" squad of barristers to a proper political party which could expand their base or groom the next generation of leaders for the party. |

In response to the electoral reform package proposed by the government, the party joined hand with the League of Social Democrats, which belonged to the relatively radical wing the pan-democracy camp, to launch the "Five Constituency Referendum" by having five legislators resigning and participating in a territory-wide by-election to demand genuine universal suffrage. The claim of by-election as referendum expectedly received serve attacks from the Beijing government and the pro-Beijing camp in Hong Kong as unconstitutional. The Democratic Party refused to join the movement and sought for a less confrontational way to negotiate with Beijing. The election turnout showed with only 17.7 percent of the registered voters voted despite Alan Leong and Tanya Chan were re-elected. After the by-election Chairwoman Audrey Eu was invited by the Chief Executive Donald Tsang to a televised debate over the reform package. Audrey Eu was widely perceived to have scored an overwhelming victory over Tsang in the debate, yet the reform package was ultimately passed with the support of the Democratic Party despite Civic Party voted against it. |

Alan Leong took over from Audrey Eu as Party Leader uncontestedly, while Kenneth Chan beat Professor Joseph Cheng by an 11-vote margin after a heated campaign that saw some complaining about the fairness of the contest. Chan campaigned on a platform that was endorsed by most of the party veterans. Alan Leong denied the speculations of any intra-party factional struggle.In the 2011 District Council elections, the Civic Party was hammered by the pro-Beijing media due to its close ties with the legal advisers on the lawsuit of the right of abode for foreign domestic workers who represented one such Filipina. The party was greatly disadvantaged by this as many HK residents fear granting Filipinos permanent residency would affect them. The party received great defeat in the election with only seven out of 41 candidates were elected. Party leader Alan Leong blamed the pro-Beijing camp's vast resources as the cause of defeat. |

These six seats made the Civic Party the second largest political party in Legislative Council and stood side by side with the Democratic Party as the largest pro-democratic party, though the popular votes gained by the Civics in the geographical constituency surpassed the Democrats. The party was blamed for its electoral strategy by putting heavyweights Audrey Eu and Tanya Chan in New Territories West and Hong Kong Island to attract too many votes at the expense on the other pan-democratic parties. Although both Eu and Chan received about 70,000 votes in their constituencies, they failed to get re-elected and the seats went to pro-Beijing candidates Leung Che-cheung and Wong Kwok-hing which made the pro-Beijing camp controlled the majority of the seats in those constituencies despite fewer votes. |
