Alternative weekly
–
Its news coverage is more locally focused and their target audiences younger than those of daily newspapers. Typically, alternative newspapers are published in format and printed on newsprint. Other names for such publications include weekly, alternative newsweekly. Most metropolitan areas of the United States and Canada are home to at least one alternative paper, Alternative papers usually operate under a different business model than daily papers. They sometimes include ads for adult entertainment, such as bookstores and strip clubs. They usually include comprehensive classified and personal ad sections and event listings as well, many alternative papers feature an annual best of issue, profiling businesses that readers voted the best of their type in the area. Often these papers send out certificates that the businesses hang on their wall or window and this further cements the papers ties to local businesses. Alternative newspapers represent the more commercialized and mainstream evolution of the press associated with the 1960s counterculture. Their focus remains on arts and entertainment and social and political reportage, editorial positions at alternative weeklies are predominantly left-leaning, though there is a contingent of conservative, and libertarian, alt-weeklies. Styles vary sharply among alternative newspapers, some affect a satirical, ironic tone, columns commonly syndicated to alternative weeklies include The Straight Dope, Dan Savages Savage Love, Rob Bresznys Free Will Astrology, and Ben Tausigs crossword puzzle Ink Well. Quirky, non-mainstream comics, such as Matt Groenings Life in Hell, Lynda Barrys Ernie Pooks Comeek, Ruben Bollings Tom the Dancing Bug, the Village Voice, based in New York City, is one of the first and best-known examples of the form. The Association of Alternative Newsmedia is the alternative weeklies trade association, the Alternative Weekly Network and the Ruxton Group are national advertising sales representatives for alternative weeklies. However, due in part to increasing concentration of media ownership, the Tribune Company, a multibillion-dollar company that owns the Chicago Tribune, owns four New England alternative weeklies, including the Hartford Advocate and New Haven Advocate. Village Voice Media and New Times Media merged in 2006, before that, the pre-merger Village Voice Media, an outgrowth of New York Citys Village Voice, included LA Weekly, OC Weekly, Seattle Weekly, Minneapolis City Pages, and Nashville Scene. In 2003, the two entered into a non-competition agreement which stated that the two would not publish in the same market. The US Justice Department launched an antitrust investigation into the agreement, the case was settled out of court with the two companies agreeing to make available the publishing assets and titles of their defunct papers to potential competitors. The Cleveland Free Times recommenced publication in 2003 under the publication group Kildysart LLC, while the assets of New Times LA were sold to Southland Publishing and relaunched as LA CityBeat. The deal was approved by the Justice Department and, on January 31,2006, in 1999, PM/CG expanded further through New England to Portland, Maine with the creation of the Portland Phoenix

International Standard Serial Number
–
An International Standard Serial Number is an eight-digit serial number used to uniquely identify a serial publication. The ISSN is especially helpful in distinguishing between serials with the same title, ISSN are used in ordering, cataloging, interlibrary loans, and other practices in connection with serial literature. The ISSN system was first drafted as an International Organization for Standardization international standard in 1971, ISO subcommittee TC 46/SC9 is responsible for maintaining the standard. When a serial with the content is published in more than one media type. For example, many serials are published both in print and electronic media, the ISSN system refers to these types as print ISSN and electronic ISSN, respectively. The format of the ISSN is an eight digit code, divided by a hyphen into two four-digit numbers, as an integer number, it can be represented by the first seven digits. The last code digit, which may be 0-9 or an X, is a check digit. Formally, the form of the ISSN code can be expressed as follows, NNNN-NNNC where N is in the set, a digit character. The ISSN of the journal Hearing Research, for example, is 0378-5955, where the final 5 is the check digit, for calculations, an upper case X in the check digit position indicates a check digit of 10. To confirm the check digit, calculate the sum of all eight digits of the ISSN multiplied by its position in the number, the modulus 11 of the sum must be 0. There is an online ISSN checker that can validate an ISSN, ISSN codes are assigned by a network of ISSN National Centres, usually located at national libraries and coordinated by the ISSN International Centre based in Paris. The International Centre is an organization created in 1974 through an agreement between UNESCO and the French government. The International Centre maintains a database of all ISSNs assigned worldwide, at the end of 2016, the ISSN Register contained records for 1,943,572 items. ISSN and ISBN codes are similar in concept, where ISBNs are assigned to individual books, an ISBN might be assigned for particular issues of a serial, in addition to the ISSN code for the serial as a whole. An ISSN, unlike the ISBN code, is an identifier associated with a serial title. For this reason a new ISSN is assigned to a serial each time it undergoes a major title change, separate ISSNs are needed for serials in different media. Thus, the print and electronic versions of a serial need separate ISSNs. Also, a CD-ROM version and a web version of a serial require different ISSNs since two different media are involved, however, the same ISSN can be used for different file formats of the same online serial

The first issues were 14 by 20 inches in size, with five columns of type, Sheldon McKnight became the first publisher with John Pitts Sheldon as editor. In the 1850s, the paper was developed into a leading Democratic publication under the ownership of Wilbur F. Storey, Storey left for the Chicago Times in 1861, taking a lot of the staff with him. In the 1870s ownership passed to William E. Quinby, who continued its Democratic leanings and established a London, in 1940, the Knight Newspapers purchased the Free Press.

Detroit News
–
The Detroit News is one of the two major newspapers in the U. S. city of Detroit, Michigan. The paper began in 1873, when it rented space in the rival Detroit Free Presss building. The News absorbed the Detroit Tribune on February 1,1919, the Detroit Journal on July 21,1922, and on November 7,1960, it bought and closed the faltering Detroit Times. However, it retained the Times building, which it used as a plant until 1967, when a new facility opened in Sterling Heights. The street in downtown Detroit where the Times building once stood is still called Times Square, the Evening News Association, owner of The News, merged with Gannett in 1985. The News claims to have been the first newspaper in the world to operate a station, station 8MK. In 1947, it established Michigans first television station, WWJ-TV, in 1989, the paper entered into a 100-year joint operating agreement with the rival Free Press, combining business operations while keeping separate editorial staffs. The combined company is called the Detroit Media Partnership, the Free Press moved into The News building in 1998 and until May 7,2006, the two published a single joint weekend edition. Today The News, which has won three Pulitzer Prizes, is published Monday–Saturday, and has a page in the Sunday Free Press. The Detroit News was founded by James E. Scripps, who, in turn, was the older half-brother, the papers eventual success, however, is largely credited to Scripps son-in-law, George Gough Booth, who came aboard at the request of his wifes father. Booth went on to construct Michigans largest newspaper empire, founding the independent Booth Newspapers chain with his two brothers, the Detroit News building was erected in 1917. It was designed by architect Albert Kahn, who included a concrete building with large street level arches to admit light. The arches along the east and south side of the building were bricked-in for protection after the 12th Street Riot in 1967, the bricked-in arches on the east and south ends of the building were reopened during renovations required when the Free Press relocated its offices there 20 years later. In 1931, The Detroit News made history when it bought a three place Pitcairn PCA-2 auto-gyro as an aircraft which could take off and land in restricted places. It was the ancestor of todays well known news helicopter, in 1935 a single Lockheed Model 9 Orion was purchased and modified by Lockheed as a news camera plane for The Detroit News. To work in that role, a pod was built into the leading edge of the right wing about eight feet out from the fuselage. This pod had a dome on the front and a mounted camera. To aim the camera the pilot was provided with a primitive grid-like gun sight on his windshield

This Modern World
–
This Modern World is a weekly satirical comic strip by cartoonist and political commentator Tom Tomorrow that covers current events from a left-wing point of view. Tomorrow also runs a weblog that informs readers about stories of interest and this Modern World appears mainly in alternative weekly newspapers. Visually This Modern World draws inspiration from a retro, 1950s sensibility, initially, the strip was almost completely composed of actual vintage clip art and magazine cutouts, assembled collage-style and often manipulated and retouched. However, Tomorrow has gradually replaced cutouts with his own drawings, usually drawn in four panels, it is not uncommon for all panels to be identical or nearly so, with only the dialogue and/or facial expressions changing. The 50s theme extends to the verbose dialogue of his human characters which is often bubbly, over-enthusiastic. The stupidity of the humans is countered by Sparky, a penguin with a red visor. A recurring theme in the books was that of reality engineering, wherein the very fabric of space. This periodically generates reality discontinuities, where reality breaks down and these are resolved by reality engineers. From 2000 to 2001, an animated This Modern World series was produced by Flickerlab for Mondo Media, each episode was approximately five minutes long. A. Characters include, Tom Tomorrow In an intermediate version of the strip and he was a private eye who was dressed in a radiation suit so his face was never seen. Dippy the Wonder-Penguin Tom Tomorrows sidekick and his vocabulary was limited to wank. Sparky the Wonder Penguin A sort of upgraded version of Dippy, similar to Dippy, Sparks first words in the strip are George Bush is a wanker. A strong liberal advocate, he became a Republican after being hit on the head with a random falling toilet. Blinky the Dog A small dog who shares some of Sparkys political sympathies, normally very mellow, he briefly became a radical when steroids were put into his food when he was intended to replace the then-Republican Sparky. Bob Friendly Mr. Friendly is in charge of the section of This Modern World. It was he who introduced Sparky the Penguin, Dr. Wilbur von Philbert One of the longest-running characters in the strip, Dr. von Philbert is the person who discovered how to mine reality for energy. Biff and Wanda Two blow-dried anchorpeople of the Action McNews, a newscast in which Tomorrow suggests that most TV news is more than PR spin. A Biff and Wanda strip almost always ends with a cut to a commercial break Biff and Betty Biff, Biff often appears alone with Sparky, expressing a naive conservative opinion which invariably prompts an exasperated liberal rebuttal from the penguin

Red Meat
–
Commonly, especially in gastronomy, red meat or dark meat is red when raw and dark in color when cooked, in contrast to white meat, which is pale in color before and after cooking. This definition only refers to flesh from mammals or fowl, in nutritional science, red meat is defined as any meat that has more myoglobin than white meat, white meat being defined as non-dark meat from chicken, or fish. Some meat, such as pork, is red meat using the nutritional definition, according to the USDA, all meats obtained from mammals are red meats because they contain more myoglobin than fish or white meat from chicken. The culinary definition has many rules and exceptions, generally meat from mammals and meat from hunting excluding fish and insects are considered red meat. Although poultry is usually considered white, duck and goose are red, for some animals the culinary definition of red meat differs by cut, and sometimes by the age of the animal is when it was slaughtered. Pork is considered red if the animal is adult, but white if young, the same applies to young lamb and veal. Game is sometimes put in a separate category altogether, Pork is considered white under the culinary definition, but red in nutritional studies. The National Pork Board has positioned it as Pork, the Other White Meat, profiting from the ambiguity to suggest that pork has the nutritional properties of white meat, which is considered more healthful. Red meat contains large amounts of iron, creatine, minerals such as zinc and phosphorus, red meat is a source of lipoic acid. Red meat contains small amounts of vitamin D, the liver contains much higher quantities than other parts of the animal. In 2011, the USDA launched MyPlate, which didnt distinguish between kinds of meat, but did recommend eating at least 8 oz of fish each week. In 2011, the Harvard School of Public Health launched the Healthy Eating Plate because of the inadequacies of the USDAs recommendations. The Healthy Eating Plate encourages consumers to limit red meat and avoid processed meat and its website says, Eating a lot of red meat and processed meat has been linked to increased risk of heart disease, diabetes, and colon cancer. So it’s best to avoid processed meat, and to limit red meat to no more than twice a week. Switching to fish, chicken, nuts, or beans in place of red meat and processed meat can improve cholesterol levels and can lower the risk of heart disease and diabetes. Red meat is not a product, its health effects can vary based on fat content, processing. Processed red meat is linked to mortality, mainly due to cardiovascular diseases. There is some evidence too that the consumption of unprocessed red meat may have health effects in humans

Savage Love
–
Savage Love is a syndicated sex-advice column by Dan Savage. The column appears weekly in several newspapers, mainly free newspapers in the US and Canada. It started in 1991 with the first issue of the Seattle weekly newspaper The Stranger, since October 2006, Savage has also recorded the Savage Lovecast, a weekly podcast version of the column, featuring telephone advice sessions. Since 2002, he has written the column at Eppie Lederers desk, which he, in 1991, Savage was living in Madison, Wisconsin, and working as a manager at a local video store that specialized in independent film titles. There, Savage befriended Tim Keck, co-founder of The Onion, Savage made the offhand comment that forever altered life, Make sure your paper has an advice column – everybody claims to hate em, but everybody seems to read em. Savage typed up a column, and to Savages surprise Keck offered him the job. Savage stated in a February 2006 interview in The Onions A. V, club that he began the column with the express purpose of providing mocking advice to heterosexuals, since most straight advice columnists were clueless when responding to letters from gay people. For the first six years of the column, Savage had his readers address him with Hey, faggot and he was criticized for this by some gay activists. During the run of Savage Love, Savage has popularized several neologisms and he has also debunked several sexual neologisms for violent sex acts, including the donkey punch, the pirate, and the hot Karl, concluding They’re all fictions. The campsite rule includes things like leaving the younger/less experienced partner with no STDs, no unwanted pregnancies, in a July 20,2011 column, Savage coined the term monogamish. The term describes couples who are perceived to be monogamous, who are mostly monogamous, such couples have an expressed understanding that allows for some amount of sexual contact outside the relationship. Savage believes that of all the people think are 100% monogamous. The term has since seen mainstream use, in 2001 Savage challenged readers of his column to coin a name for the sex act in which a woman uses a strap-on dildo to perform anal sex on her male partner. After multiple nominations and a vote, the verb peg was chosen with a 43% plurality over runners-up bob. Savage reacted strongly to statements made about homosexuality by former United States Senator Rick Santorum in an April 2003 interview with the Associated Press, the winning definition was the frothy mixture of lube and fecal matter that is sometimes the byproduct of anal sex. Savage set up a website to spread the term, inviting bloggers and others to link to it and this originated from Rekers who, when outed, insisted he had hired the escort only to assist him with lifting his luggage. Originally Savage suggested that lifting my luggage refer to listening to the speaker expound on the desirability of converting oneself from homosexual to heterosexual, Dan Savage coined the abbreviation GGG. It stands for good, giving, and game, and it one should strive to be good in bed, giving equal time and equal pleasure to ones partner

In 1999 William Kessler and Associates restored and made an addition to the building, the Cornice and Slate building is adjacent to the BCBS Bricktown customer service facility. The acquisition of the Cornice and Slate building would add additional space to BCBSs Greektown facility, the ground floor lease to the Floods Bar & Grille would be maintained while the Cornice and Slate second and third floors would be used as office space for about 100 BCBS employees. This means that the tenants would be expected to move out of the building. Helen Stojic, director of communications for BCBS, did not state the sale price of the building. BCBS was expected to close on the purchase in August 2013, by July 16,2013 Chris Sexson of the Metro Times stated that the publication had not yet made definitive plans for its new headquarters but was already looking for a new headquarters location.

Detroit is a port on the Detroit River, a strait that connects the Great Lakes system to the Saint Lawrence Seaway. The Detroit Metropolitan Airport is among the most important hubs in the United States, the City of Detroit anchors the second-largest economic region in the Midwest, behind Chicago, and the thirteenth-largest in the United States. Detroit and its neighboring Canadian city Windsor are connected through a tunnel and various bridges, Detroit was founded on July 24,1701 by the French explorer and adventurer Antoine de la Mothe Cadillac and a party of settlers. During the 19th century, it became an important industrial hub at the center of the Great Lakes region, with expansion of the American automobile industry in the early 20th century, the Detroit area emerged as a significant metropolitan region within the United States. The city became the fourth-largest in the country for a period, in the 1950s and 1960s, suburban expansion continued with construction of a regional freeway system. A great portion of Detroits public transport was abandoned in favour of becoming a city in the post-war period. Due to industrial restructuring and loss of jobs in the auto industry, between 2000 and 2010 the citys population fell by 25 percent, changing its ranking from the nations 10th-largest city to 18th. In 2010, the city had a population of 713,777 and this resulted from suburbanization, corruption, industrial restructuring and the decline of Detroits auto industry. In 2013, the state of Michigan declared an emergency for the city. Detroit has experienced urban decay as its population and jobs have shifted to its suburbs or elsewhere, conservation efforts managed to save many architectural pieces since the 2000s and allowed several large-scale revitalisations.

In the 17th century, the region was inhabited by Huron, Odawa, Potawatomi, for the next hundred years, virtually no British, colonist, or French action was contemplated without consultation with, or consideration of the Iroquois likely response. When the French and Indian War evicted the Kingdom of France from Canada, the 1798 raids and resultant 1799 decisive Sullivan Expedition reopened the Ohio Country to westward emigration, which began almost immediately, and by 1800 white settlers were pouring westwards. By 1773, the population of Detroit was 1,400, by 1778, its population was up to 2,144 and it was the third-largest city in the Province of Quebec
