CKKL-FM (93.9 FM) is a radio station in Ottawa. Currently owned by Bell Media, it broadcasts a country format branded as Pure Country 94. CKKL's studios are located in the Bell Media Building on George Street in Downtown Ottawa's ByWard Market, while its transmitter is located in Camp Fortune, Quebec.
The station adopted the Kool FM brand in 1992 for its new Hot AC format. During their Hot AC days, they aired mostly contemporary hits during the evening hours (in large part due to CRTC regulations banning FM stations for having more than 50% of hit material on their playlists to protect AM stations and French-language stations), as well as the dance music show "Pirate Radio" with Chris Sheppard on Saturday nights. By February 2003, the station rebranded to "Bob FM"
Nortel, formerly commonly known as Northern Electric and Northern Telecom, was a multinational telecommunications and data networking equipment manufacturer headquartered in Mississauga, Ontario, Canada. It was founded in Montreal, Quebec, in 1895 as the Northern Electric and Manufacturing Company. Until an antitrust settlement in 1949, Northern Electric was owned principally by Bell Canada and the Western Electric Company of the Bell System, producing large volumes of telecommunication equipment based on licensed Western Electric designs.
At its height, Nortel accounted for more than a third of the total valuation of all companies listed on the Toronto Stock Exchange (TSX), employing 94,500 people worldwide.
In Italian, Unico means unique - one of a kind - and that is exactly what we strive to be. Our products are traditional, yet distinct and unlike any others in the food market. We offer a wide range of Mediterranean-style products and ingredients to complement any meal and we pride ourselves on using only the highest quality sources in the preparation of our products.
We are a national company, spanning from coast to coast, and though we specialize in Mediterranean-style food products, we are most definitely Canadian. However, our corporate borders reach beyond Canada. By importing resources from other countries we are able to develop a strong international network. Dealing with other countries helps Unico to better predict and prepare for new trends in the industry.
Unico was established in 1917 to cater to the growing Mediterranean community in Toronto. Founder Edward Pasquale’s objective was clear; he wanted to bring the "culture of Italian eating" to every Canadian table by becoming the country's leading distributor of authentic Mediterranean-style ingredients and products.
After two generations of Pasquale family ownership, Unico passed through three successive corporate ownerships. In 1997, Unico again became a family-managed business when Sun-Brite Foods Inc. purchased the company.
Sun-Brite Foods was established in 1973. That same year it began to produce high-quality canned tomato products for the food industry. In 1997, Unico was a recognized brand with a strong customer following. It was also Sun-Brite Foods' largest customer. Thus, acquiring Unico ensured Sun-Brite Foods of even greater success in the new millennium. Unico offered an established sales, marketing and distribution network but required a long-term focus and vision. Sun-Brite Foods offered this type of solid ownership and when the companies combined, prosperity was inevitable for both sides.

Local commercial promoting local businesses in Cape Vincent New York
Cape Vincent is a town in Jefferson County, New York, United States. The population was 2,777 at the 2010 census.
The town is in the northwestern part of the county. In the town is a village also called Cape Vincent. Both town and village are northwest of Watertown.
The town was first explored in the 17th century by French explorers and missionaries. At that time it was home to the Onondaga people. Modern settlement began in 1801 at Millens Bay.
During the War of 1812, Cape Vincent was an armed camp to oppose the British forces in adjacent Kingston, Ontario.
The town was formed in 1849 from the north part of the town of Lyme. In 1895, the hamlet of Cape Vincent was incorporated as a village. By that time, the region was becoming a famous tourist area due to the Thousand Islands.
In 1935, the East Charity Shoals Light was erected at the entrance to the Seaway.

Infomercial for the Cold Heat soldering iron - broadcast in the early 2000s
ColdHeat was an American company founded to develop and market products using the proprietary graphite-like compound Athalite. The composite material is claimed by the manufacturer to have the unusual ability to conduct large amounts of heat and return to room temperature in a short amount of time.
The first two products were soldering irons powered by alkaline batteries. The manufacturer claims this soldering iron is unique in that its Athalite tip undergoes a temperature change from ambient temperature to approximately 800 °F (427 °C) and back to ambient within three seconds when the tip is removed from the work.
The tip of this apparatus is split into two sections that complete an electrical circuit when a low electrical resistance is placed across the tip; e.g. metallic contacts, or solder. With a current flowing, the resistance of both the solder and the tip produces enough heat to increase the temperature beyond the melting point of the solder. For the light-duty work it was designed for, the Athalite tip heats just enough and can cool very rapidly; however, if applied to something with a large thermal capacity such as a metal chassis, the tip can become extremely hot and can take over a minute to cool in an extreme case.
It is thought that the irons cannot be used indiscriminately for all work; the voltage across and current through the tip can damage electronic circuits being soldered. When not in contact with a joint, the split-tip has 6 or more volts across it, enough to destroy semiconductor p-n junctions on contact if the iron accidentally touches multiple closely spaced pads. This is not static-electricity damage; any voltage over about 0.7V capable of delivering a high current can destroy a semiconductor junction.
It's a common misunderstanding that a high current in the joint causes heat. The heat is generated by resistance within the tip. Heat is then conducted to the joint just as in traditional solder tools. Also, the current in the joint is limited to the small region between the two tip halves and doesn't pass through the part being soldered. There is a tiny transient voltage when the tool is applied or removed, but it is orders of magnitude below the levels that cause static-electricity damage.
