B&B; 18 wheelers enter the OMYA factory in Perth Ontario. These sort clips were taken within the cold month of February.
CP train from the Omya plant in Perth, Ontario stopping just before the Smiths Falls yard. It stopped quickly, blocking the crossing for awhile as a crew member walked the train and focused on 2 tank cars in particular. After he did some things with the cars, he climbed on a tank car and they resumed into the yard.
A l’appel de la CGT, une grosse partie du personnel de l’entreprise Omya à Sainte-Croix-de-Mareuil, était en grève illimitée jeudi 12 février 2015 par solidarité avec leurs 18 collègues du Pôle financier en Champagne qui vont être licenciés dans le cadre d’un plan social.
http://dzrtgrls.com Howard Brown, Exploration and Mining Geologist for Omya, leads us around the White Knob Quarry to collect fluorescent minerals such as calcite (bright pinkish orange), wollastonite (yellow), aragonite (bright green), feldspar (magenta red), dolomite (blue white), diopside (light blue), travertine (white to slight yellow tint), and other unknown minerals. We're using a UV Systems shortwave light called the SuperBright II model 3254. Thanks to Howard for showing us around and answering all our questions and to Pete Xander for inviting us and for making so many yummy cookies!
Letting loose the lunatics wasn't the greatest of ideas
Giving them plans and money to squander
Should have been the worst of our fears
The dream life luxury living was a pleasant number 10 whim
But somewhere down the line of production
They left out human beings
They were gonna build communities
It was going to be pie in the sky
But the piss stench hallways and broken down lifts
Say the planners dream went wrong
If people were made to live in boxes
God would have given them string
To tie around their selves at bed time
And stop their dreams falling through the ceiling
And the public school boy computers
Keep spewing out our future
The house in the country designs the 14th floor
Old Mrs. Smith don't get out much more
Coitus interrupts 'cause of next doors rows
Your washing gets nicked when the lights go out
Baby's scream in the nightmare throng
