"Local Man Was Fined Fifty," Niagara Falls Review. May 8, 1934. Page 1. --- Baseball tickets found in the possession of H. J. Brown; Pleaded guilty ---- ALL OLD CLAIMED ---- Henry J. Brown, 671 River Road, pleaded guilty in magistrate's court this morning to the following charge - "that he did unlawfully aid or assist in the sale, barter, exchange or other disposal of, or offer for sale any lot, card, ticket or other means for advancing, lending, giving, selling or otherwise disposing of any property by lot, ticket or any mode of chance whatsoever, contrary to Section 236 (b) of the Criminal Code." He was fined $50 and costs, amounting to $23.25.

R. B. Law of Welland was counsel for Brown. He explained that the charge arose out of some baseball tickets found in Brown's possession by Detective George Hughes on May 3. "They were old tickets and were never used," Mr. Law stated. He said his client was technically in possession of the tickets and he had advised him to plead guilty.

"The tickets are old and if you know anything about baseball you will see that the names on them are not found on any teams this year," Mr. Law further explained. T. D. Cowper, K.C., Crown prosecutor, said it was not a case for any extreme penalty.

Very Rare Emperor Constantine Silver Ingots Saved From Illegal Sale

A man allegedly tried to illegally sell three rare Roman-era silver ingots that his great-grandmother reportedly found in her garden years ago.

Three "truly sensational" Roman-era silver ingots depicting Constantine the Great were nearly sold illegally on the internet, a new investigation finds.

An unnamed man alleged that his great-grandmother found the rare artifacts buried in the family's backyard in Transcarpathia (also known as Zakarpattia), a region in western Ukraine. Later, the man reportedly tried to sell one of the silver bars online, according to Public Uzhgorod, Ukraine's public broadcast station.

However, officials from the museum intervened by reporting the attempted illegal sale to local law enforcement. When officers searched the home, they discovered two additional ingots. Because the ingots have "special cultural value," Ukraine's Office of the Prosecutor General has taken over the case, according to a translated statement from the National Museum of the History of Ukraine in Kyiv.

Each of the metal blocks, which are almost entirely pure silver, weighs more than 12 ounces (342 grams) and contains a coin-shaped impression of Emperor Constantine the Great on each side, according to the statement. Constantine, who ruled from A.D. 306 to 337, is known for ushering Christianity into the Roman Empire and moving his capital to "New Rome," which later became Constantinople (modern-day Istanbul).

The ingots would have been used during the minting process to strike coins known as siliquae. The coins with Constantine's likeness would have been issued between A.D. 310 and 313 in Augusta Treverorum, a Roman city that today is Trier, Germany. At one time, the pieces would have been batched together with a thin, silver ribbon, which has since been lost, according to the statement.

"Three ingots fastened together were supposed to be a gift for a very high-ranking person," Maksym Levada, a curator at the museum, said in the statement. "The fact that they were found outside the Roman Empire on the territory of modern Ukraine makes them an invaluable source of our past."

Experts estimate the treasure's value at 3.5 million Ukrainian hryvnia, or about $84,800.

"But what makes them unique is not the cost, but the fact that only a few similar ingots have been found in Europe to date," Andriy Kostin, Ukraine's prosecutor general, said in the statement.

There are about 90 known Roman silver ingots in existence today, with only 11 containing mint stamp impressions, making the three ingots' recovery even rarer, according to the statement.

Kyrylo Myzgin, an archaeologist and faculty member at the University of Warsaw who initially examined the ingots, said in an email that the finding "can be considered truly sensational."

"It is excellent news that they ended up in a museum rather than on the black market for antiquities," Myzgin said. "Roman silver ingots with coin die imprints are incredibl\y rare and were virtually unknown outside the Roman Empire. It is likely that these ingots reached the territory of what is now western Ukraine as a result of interactions between the local population — possibly Germanic tribes or Dacians [people in what is now largely modern-day Romania] — and the Roman Empire in the early 4th century. However, the exact nature of these interactions has yet to be determined."

The ingots are now on display in the museum's "Salvated Treasures" exhibition, which contains a collection of rescued artifacts.

hayama-san had his 4th anniversary web show event today and the tragedy is that niconico has been down for a month now bc of a cyber attack and i hope whoever is responsible loses all their cows to a fire but that means there wasn’t a livestream so i’ve been reading reports from a person who went and lmao

hayama-san is so strong of a drinker, he actually feels refreshed after drinking tequila

he may have made this discovery after buying some tequila at the convenience store after 10th live day one and felt no repercussions drinking it throughout his commute home and woke up in the morning without a headache lol

takeuchi-san was one of his guests for the evening show and he said he’s always at war with himself between finding hayama-san cute and annoying as hell LOL

takeuchi: ik we’ve talked about this before but fr what is dom/sub???

hayama: ah so you remember what happened the last time i went to your house—

op: ????????

me: ????????

sakakihara-san used to have his own way of trying to get spoiled by takeuchi-san but lately it’s gotten worse bc he’s been picking up and using the way hayama-san does it as well and takeuchi-san is suffering lmao

semi-relatedly but throwback to when sakakihara-san called hayama-san ‘nii-chan’ during a live hayama-san is a terrible influence on him lmao

I feel the need to say my piece about the selling of bound fanfiction and how it has the potential to destroy fanfic as we know it!

In case you have somehow missed it, the only reason fanfiction is legal is bc it is free. The moment you sell it, even if the price is completely insignificant compared to the profit of the original work, it is still copyright infringement. The OTW and Ao3 were founded in order to insure we as fandom members got to enjoy the legal fanfic we all love. We created them to fight for us. However they cannot fight and argue fair use when money is being made.

I’m wondering if the OTW should preempt any authors intending to sue the book binders illegally selling fanfictions of their original works and likely the authors of those fics (despite them being innocent) and sue the binders themselves. Bc we as a fandom community should take this seriously. Let’s not let people chasing clout and a quick buck ruin the community we’ve built.

Bind your fanfiction for yourself, and as wonderful heartfelt gifts. If you sell it, you are stealing. You are stealing from the fic writers who put their heart and soul into making something we all enjoy and legally you are stealing from the owner of the source material. You do not love this community you are exploiting it and leaving it vulnerable to attack and censorship.

Canada intends to buy missile used in killing World Central Kitchen aid workers:

The Canadian military says it has no plans to review its decision to purchase $43 million worth of a type of Israeli-made missile despite the munition’s apparent use in killing seven aid workers

Canada can climb down from its moral high ground 🙄 Unsurprisingly, DND's Bill Blair as police chief was not only corrupt and sold to the Zionist cause by shielding securities fraud (boiler room network of Sy Jacobson) used to pay for illegal settlements, but he also had a blatant disregard for human rights as evidenced at the Toronto G20.
