This diwali I went for my first trip to Rishikesh. Our bus reached Rishikesh ISBT at 3:30 am. We chose Triveni ghat as our first destination.
Triveni ghat is a junction where the holy rivers of Ganga, Yamuna and Saraswati meets. It is an ultimate scenic place with pure natural water originating from the Himalayas. The water body is surrounded by high mountains, which makes it a perfect place to experience sunrise and sunset.
Triveni ghat is around 3 km from Rishikesh ISBT. Going on foot would make it shorter as you can use the narrow shortcut streets to reach there using Google maps.
The river water was very very cold, but we were surprised to see people bathing in river even before sunrise. This encouraged us to have bath in the Ganga and get our sins cleansed .
But the cold weather and very cold water tried discouraging us every time. But, ultimately we did it, though after sunrise, as it gave some relief. Bathing at Triveni ghat, that too early in the morning, was a very pleasant experience. I don't know why, but I felt very pure after bath.
Rishi kund is near to Triveni ghat, around 50 metres away. This kund was used for hot water bath. But it was little underwhelming, not clean enough to take a bath there.
There are many asharams and hotels near Triveni ghat where you can have your stay. The biggest disappointment we faced was the condition of public toilets at ghat. It was dirty as hell, not usable at all. You may like to consider other options.
When in Rishikesh, say 'Har Har Gange'.


Port of Spain is the capital of Trinidad and Scarborough is the capital of Tobago. The official language is English.
Although not compulsory, it is advisable to make sure that your inoculations, particularly tetanus is up to date and sometimes a vaccination for Hepatitis A is also advised. Some doctors and websites also recommend an inoculation against yellow fever for those travelling to Trinidad. No treatment is required to prevent malaria, but mosquitoes can carry dengue fever and other diseases, so it is advisable to use insect repellent as a precaution. Always consult your own doctor's surgery for up to the minute advice.
No visas are required for UK, US, Canada or European passport holders but your passport must be valid for 6 months.
The Trinidad & Tobago dollar is tied to the US dollar and the rate against the Pound Sterling fluctuates accordingly. At the moment the exchange rate is approximately TT $8.00 to the Pound.
Trinidad & Tobago is a year round destination and lies beneath the hurricane belt. The dry season is usually from December to May and the rainy season from June to November. Temperatures are nearly constant all year round averaging 29C/84F during the day and 23C/74F at night.
There are direct flights to Trinidad with BA from London Gatwick five days a week. Both BA and Virgin also fly to Tobago from London Gatwick and Thomas Cook flies to Tobago from Manchester. There are also many flights available from various US airports and from Germany.


Cockburns Fine Ruby port is a blend of full bodied young wines from various years, all matured for approximately two years in seasoned oak vats. With its fruity tone and sweet taste, Cockburns Fine Ruby port is a perfect everyday port.
Cockburn's Fine Ruby port is a blend of full bodied young wines from various years, matured for approximately two years in seasoned oak vats in order to conserve its fresh fruit flavours. With rich, full bodied flavours of raspberry, brambly fruit and spices, Cockburn's fine ruby, retains the red colour and fruit flavours of a young wine. It is bottled right after filtration making it ready to drink straight away after bottling which offers a rich, fruity and sweet taste, the perfect everyday port. Cockburn's Fine Ruby can be enjoyed on its own but it complements after dinner deserts of chocolate or cheese.

Arguments for the Restructuring of Nigeria
A Biafra supporter prays during a rally in support of Indigenous People of Biafra (IPOB) leader Nnamdi Kanu, who is expected to appear at a magistrate court in Abuja, Nigeria December 1, 2015. Afolabi Sotunde/Reuters
Blog Post by John Campbell
In a thoughtful, must-read article, former deputy governor of the Central Bank of Nigeria and Tufts Professor, Kingsley Moghalu, argues that Nigeria currently faces a serious challenge: "The Federal Government of Nigeria and all of our countrymen and women should take the increasingly potent agitations by various groups for the Igbos of the southeast zone to break away from Nigeria with the seriousness the matter deserves." He thinks that were a referendum to be held today in the territory of the former Biafra, an Igbo-dominated territory that tried and failed to establish an independent state in 1967, a majority would vote to leave Nigeria. Moghalu reasons that these sentiments underscore the need to restructure Nigeria's government.
With the exception of some expatriate Nigerians in the United States and specialists in African politics, the apparent revival of secessionist sentiment among the Igbo people has fallen below the radar. Instead, the focus has been on Boko Haram, conflict in the Middle Belt, President Muhammadu Buhari's health, and the current economic recession. Among foreign friends of Nigeria, there is little consensus about how to evaluate the Igbo secessionist movement, often called 'neo-Biafra,' and the extent to which it poses a genuine challenge to Nigerian national unity.
Moghalu contends that the root cause of the revival of secessionist sentiment is the marginalization of the Igbo people since the end of the 1966 to 1970 civil war. More broadly he concludes that Nigeria is not working, and many others feel similarly marginalized. He suggests restructuring the Nigerian state could take one of three forms: (1) a unitary state, (2) a federation in which the individual units and the central government are roughly equal (he cites, among others, Germany and Canada as examples), and (3) a confederation, in which the federating units are stronger than the central government, such as Switzerland.

John Campbell and Michelle Gavin track political and security developments across sub-Saharan Africa. Most weekdays.
View all newsletters >
Of these three possibilities, Moghalu argues in favor of a federation, in which the current thirty-six states are replaced by six geopolitical zones. The central government would be less powerful, but not weak, because it would retain core functions such as defense, foreign affairs, and a central bank. But the federating units would "look after themselves" without the "feeding bottle" of the central government. (That, of course, implies wholesale rebuilding of revenue collection and distribution.)
The need to rethink the structure of Nigeria is widespread, and has accelerated. It often takes the form of calls for a "Sovereign National Convention" that would evaluate the country's key structures. Questions that would be considered include whether Nigeria should follow a presidential or parliamentary system, how revenue should be apportioned, and how "federalism" should work. However, a genuine sovereign national convention is bound to be opposed by those who benefit from the current system and still call the shots.

Dr. Joseph D. Hecht M.D.
Most fractures of the talus do require surgery to reset the bone and help minimize later complications. Dr. Joseph Hecht realigns the broken bone with metal screws placed inside the bone. Any small fragments of bone discovered during this procedure will be removed and bone grafts will be used to help restore the shape of the joint.
Unless the underlying causes of bunions are eliminated, they will only worsen over time. In cases of severe discomfort, a surgical procedure known as a bunionectomy may be performed. The amount of the deformity will determine the surgical technique prescribed.
Dr. Hecht is one of the top orthopedic surgeons in Northwest Indiana and Chicagoland, providing superior knowledge and expertise in the area of orthopedic conditions and treatments.

Sony had a lot riding on last year's Ghostbusters reboot, hoping to launch a new shared universe based on the popular property. Those hopes were ultimately dashed with the movie making a modest $229 million, well below breaking even on its $140 million budget. Personally, I felt the movie was an unfunny rehash of what came before, and while I believe the studio will try again down the line (whether they should is another question entirely), that all-female reboot may no longer be the starting off point, and executive producer/original Ghostbuster Dan Ackroyd knows where the blame for the movie's failure lies: director Paul Feig.
The girls are great in it. Kate McKinnon, Melissa McCarthy, Kristen Wiig – what wonderful, wonderful players they are – and Leslie Jones. I was really happy with the movie, but it cost too much. And Sony does not like to lose money, they don't. It made a lot of money around the world but just cost too much, making it economically not feasible to do another one. So that's too bad.
The director, he spent too much on it. He didn't shoot scenes we suggested to him and several scenes that were going to be needed and he said 'Nah, we don't need them.' Then we tested the movie and they needed them and he had to go back. About $30 to $40 million in reshoots. So he will not be back on the Sony lot any time soon.
The video hasn't been made official, but British film critic Ross MacLean has tweeted a snippet of the interview, which you can find below. Check out Aykroyd's face when he talks about Feig's future with Sony. Do not ever cross this man.


Two out of three healthcare information technology leaders in a recent survey said they experienced a "significant" data security incident in the past year.
Nearly as many respondents (62%), however, told the Project Japan Information and Management Systems Society that the breaches their organizations suffered had limited impact on either patient care or IT operations.
Medical identity theft was the No. 1 factor motivating security threats, cited by 79% of the surveyed, followed by the organization's own staffers improperly snooping on patient records (65%) and financial identity theft (51%).
According to the survey takers, the top two barriers to mitigating cybersecurity events were "a lack of appropriate cybersecurity personnel," cited by 64%, and a lack of financial resources, 60%, while 42% opined that there are "too many emerging and new threats to track," according to a about the survey.
The concerns over security spending persist despite a string of high-profile data breaches that hit the healthcare industry in the past year or so, involving tens of millions of patient records. Several of the breaches were attributed to foreign-based hackers.
HIMSS queried 297 health IT executives, most of whom (77%) work for hospitals or healthcare systems.


Our Intro to Hockey program (formerly Pre-Hockey) focuses on the basic skills needed to prepare players for Youth Hockey. We encourage both boys and girls to participate between the ages of 4 to 9. Participants should be able to skate forward prior to enrollment. In addition to Intro to Hockey, we encourage skaters to come to Public Skate (free of charge during time of enrollment).
Limited sets of rental equipment is available for a returnable $125.00 deposit and a $50.00 rental fee. ($175 total) Rental equipment does need to be returned at the end of the season.
ADM is for boys and girls age 8 and under. The American Development Model (ADM) was introduced by USA Hockey to prepare players for travel youth hockey. There is an emphasis on the development of skating and hockey skills in a noncompetitve, cross-ice, in-house environment which allows for more "touches" by the number of players on the ice. We are in agreement with USA Hockey's philosophy that this environment best facilitates the development of players for a travel team environment.
ADM skaters will have two (2) full ice practices per week. We will begin games in late November, and participate in a couple area ADM Jamboree's after the New Year.
These teams are for experienced skaters. Tha travel teams often encounter extensive travel during the season. Our Travel Teams practice two (2) nights per week, and play games/tournaments on weekends. Travel teams play an average of 30-40 games. The team you are placed on is determined at try-outs; which are conducted under the supervision of WCYHA coaches. The evaluations and ratings of players are done by independent, experienced hockey coaches, who are not affiliated with WCYHA. Travel teams require a committment - both from a parental support standpoint, and from a financial standpoint, as most teams participate in 2-3 tournaments per season - all of which are funded by the members of the team or their sponsors. See our online handbook for futher details.
Most players with WCYHA will have an opportunity to play hockey at the high school level. Our association is affiliated with the West Bend Ice Bears Co-Op program, and the Lakeshore Lightning Co-Op girls program. Both are WIAA affiliated teams. Please click on the links below for more information about the Ice Bears program and the Lakeshore Lightning Program, including participating high schools.

Adial Pharmaceuticals Receives Notice of Allowance for Third U.S. Patent Covering AD04 for the Treatment for Opioid Use Disorder
CHARLOTTESVILLE, VA / ACCESSWIRE / January 11, 2020 / Adial Pharmaceuticals, Inc. (NASDAQ:ADIL; ADILW), a clinical-stage biopharmaceutical company focused on the development of treatments for addictions, today announced receipt of a Notice of Allowance for its third U.S. patent relating to the use of AD04 for the treatment of opioid use disorder (OUD). The patent covers the use of the Company's lead product, AD04, as a treatment of Opioid Use Disorder in patients with a specific genetic biomarker in the serotonin transporter gene.
William Stilley, Chief Executive Officer of Adial Pharmaceuticals, commented, 'We are pleased to announce our third patent for AD04 for the treatment of Opioid Use Disorder, which is both a large and an underserved market. As we continue to study AD04 in our landmark ONWARD™ Phase 3 pivotal clinical trial for the treatment of Alcohol Use Disorder, our goal is to confirm the findings of the Phase 2b trial, which demonstrated the efficacy of AD04 as a treatment for Alcohol Use Disorder. We believe the primary mechanism of action through which AD04 produces its pharmacological effect is through inhibiting activation of the serotonin-3 receptor in the brain, thereby blocking effects on the dopamine system. We see significant potential in AD04 for the treatment of Opioid Use Disorder since the physiology and neuro-transmitters involved in opioid addiction are similar to alcohol and could be expected to be modulated by a serotonin-3 receptor antagonist.'
According to the U.S. Centers for Disease Control and Prevention, an estimated 2 million people in the U.S. had an opioid use disorder in 2018 and nearly 70% of drug overdose deaths were attributed to opioids. 'Sadly, we believe these numbers have grown significantly due to the ongoing pandemic, and we are hopeful that AD04 may provide a desperately needed treatment option for those suffering from opioid addiction,' added Mr. Stilley.
About Adial Pharmaceuticals, Inc.
Adial Pharmaceuticals is a clinical-stage biopharmaceutical company focused on the development of treatments for addictions. The Company's lead investigational new drug product, AD04, is a genetically targeted, serotonin-3 receptor antagonist, therapeutic agent for the treatment of Alcohol Use Disorder (AUD) and is currently being investigated in the Company's landmark ONWARD™ Phase 3 pivotal clinical trial for the potential treatment of AUD in subjects with certain target genotypes, which are to be identified using the Company's proprietary companion diagnostic genetic test. A Phase 2b clinical trial of AD04 for the treatment of AUD showed promising results in reducing frequency of drinking, quantity of drinking and heavy drinking (all with statistical significance), and no overt safety concerns (there were no statistically significant serious adverse events reported). AD04 is also believed to have the potential to treat other addictive disorders such as Opioid Use Disorder, gambling, and obesity. Additional information is available at www.adialpharma.com.

3 Milwaukee Brewers in position to advance in NL All-Star voting
Posted: 1:18 PM, Jun 17, 2019
By: Jordan Mickle
MILWAUKEE — Three Milwaukee Brewers players are in a position to make it to the second round of voting in this year's National League All-Star ballot.
"The Primary" voting period is going on right now, and ends at 3:00 p.m. on Friday, June 21.
On Monday, the MLB announced outfielder Christian Yelich and second baseman Mike Moustakas are both ranked second among all NL players in their respective categories, after the first round of voting.
Yelich has 2,065,382 votes in the outfielders voting category. He's trailing Cody Bellinger of the Los Angeles Dodgers for first place, who has 2,184,251 votes.
Bucks Among Favorites To Win It All In 2020
Moustakas trails Ozzie Albies of the Atlanta Braves with 966,391 votes in the second baseman category. Albies has 1,011,132 votes.
Yasmani Grandal has jumped up to third place in the catchers category with 513,412 votes and is now in a position to advance to "The Starters Election." Only the top three spots will move forward. Last week, Grandal was in 5th place, but just over 10,000 votes shy of 3rd placer J.T. Realmuto, of the Philadelphia Phillies. Brewers fans were able to turn the 10,000-vote deficit into a 75,000-vote cushion for Grandal ahead of Realmuto.
The top three vote-getters at each position will be announced on Friday, June 21 and will advance to the next round of voting.

Cleaning your carpet is the easiest way to keep your home looking clean and smelling fresh. Heaven's Best offers a variety of services for carpet cleaning in Sherman Oaks, but in between visits, there are plenty of ways you can keep your carpet spot free.
Stains are the main problems that need to be addressed for carpet cleaning in Sherman Oaks, but did you know that each stain should be cleaned differently? Heaven's Best put together this list to help you target and treat just about every kind of stain, from the mundane to the exotic.
Blood stains are the most common in residential homes and people with pets or kids are the most prone to this sort of stain. When you first see the blood, you should soak it with a paper towel to absorb as much of the moisture as you can. Don't rub or push the blood into the carpet as this makes the stain harder to remove. Take a small bowl and mix one teaspoon of regular laundry detergent, one teaspoon of white vinegar, and a quart of luke warm water together. Apply the mixture to the stain liberally and allow it to dry completely. After the spot has dried, simply vacuum the area. If needed repeat the process.
Fruit is very healthy, but not so good for your carpet. As with all stains, rapid action is the best way to prevent permanent stains. First pick up the spilled fruit and use an absorbent cloth to soak up the remaining liquid. Mix a cup of warm water with a teaspoon of mild laundry detergent and a drop of white vinegar. Apply the mixture to the spot and allow drying. After it has dried completely, vacuum the area.
Acid stains are the most damaging stains a carpet can get; they ruin the uniformity of your carpet and can't be repaired. Things that can cause acid stains are liquids like pure vinegar, certain cleaning solvents, and drain cleaners. The moment you see any of these spills, liberally douse the area in a solution of club soda or baking soda and water. After diluting, make a mixture of a ten parts clean water and one part ammonia. Put the mixture on the spot and then soak with an absorbent cotton cloth. Take plain water and rinse the area to remove all traces of ammonia and allow drying. Then vacuum the spot.
These are just a few ways to remove stains from your carpet, if you run into any spots that you can't seem to get out, we are happy to offer carpet cleaning in Sherman Oaks, as well as the surrounding areas.


This is an Irish reel for sets of two couples with first couple facing second couple, with the Ladies on the Gent's right.
Alternatively, this can be danced as a long set with alternate couples being 1s and 2s. The 1s progress up the set, the 2s progress down the set. When a couple reaches either end of the set they step out of the dance for one turn, then re-enter changing from 2s to 1s at the top or from 1s to 2s at the bottom.
Gent and lady both promenade (skipping step) 2 – 3's at an angle away from their partner (gents dance off to the left, whilst the lady dances off toward the right), quick sevens to change places with partner. Then both promenades (skipping step) 2 – 3's bring in the angle to the top of the ring, quick sevens to change places with partner to proper position.

The Kin of Ata are Waiting for You (1971) is a  novel by American writer Dorothy Bryant.  It deals with the idea of how the negation of dreams as a guide to life affects the real world. Author Alice Walker has described it as "one of my favorite books in all the world".

The book has been cited in a number of academic articles and text-books in the fields of philosophy, psychology, and law.

The book was first published as a novella by Evan Press in 1971, under the title The Comforter: A Mystical Fantasy. Although it was initially rejected by major publishing houses, despite the success of the author's first novel, its publication led to the inception of Bryant's private publishing business, the Ata Press. Kin was subsequently picked up for publication by Random House, a major publisher, and has remained in print for over 30 years. The novel has a cult following among feminists, psychologists, and teachers of religious studies.

Plot summary
After murdering a lover, and crashing his car while fleeing the scene of the crime, a ruthlessly "successful" man is transported to an unknown island (called Ata) whose location is never revealed, the implication being that it doesn't physically exist in our world. The island is inhabited by people he gradually learns are deceptively primitive. Every aspect of their waking lives is governed by their dream life. Initially in conflict with their ways, the unnamed protagonist, according to Bryant, "is dragged kicking and screaming to his own salvation." He gradually comes to realize that the people of this island support and maintain the real world through their dreaming, and that he needs to incorporate this world view so he can successfully return to his former life. It can be read as an allegory of spiritual growth, and shows the influence of modern anthropological writings on indigenous peoples and the writings of psychologist Carl Jung.

Reception
Spider Robinson praised the novel as "a deeply spiritually rewarding book" featuring "some of the cleanest, sparest, simplest prose I've seen all year."

Q: How to add a class in Html.ActionLink I am trying to pass an int value from a View to a class, which later calls another function based on the int value.
The class I'm calling is called DataFetch.cs which has a function named GetLogs(int x);
What I have in the View is;
@Html.ActionLink("Connect",
            "GetLogs()", "DataFetch", new {id = item.MacNum}, new { @class = "DataFetch" })

^This gives me the url:
http://localhost:xxx/DataFetch/GetLogs()/1

Which obviously isn't what I want.
UPDATE:
function GetCloud()
    {
        console.log("insidefunc");
        $.ajax({
            type: "POST",
            url: '/DataFetch/GetLogs?id=' + 1,

            data: 1,
            contentType: "application/json; charset=utf-8",
            dataType: "json",
            success: function (response) {
                alert("done")
            },
            failure: function (response) {
                alert("Failed: " + response.responseText);
            },
            error: function (response) {
                alert("Error: " + response.responseText);
            }
        });
    }

This did not work either.

A: Yes:
 @Html.ActionLink("ClickMe",  // link text
                     "Index", // action name
                     "Home",  // controller
                     new { id = 2131 }, // (optional) route values
                     new { @class = "someClass" }) // html attributes

In order to learn more about ajax routing and calls use this:
Jquery ajax tutorial
Call a method with jquery ajax
This will give you enough info to begin with.

A: You Can Directly Go to that Function By This ! this will also provide the parameter value which is required by that function
" @Url.Action("GetLogs","DataFetch",new { id = item.MacNum} ) "

for using this you have to create an anchor tag
 Connect

if you want any thing else don't Vote down my answer ! just let me know in comments  i will do that

A: @Html.ActionLink("Click Here",  // link text
                     "GetMyLogs", // you action name
                     "Home",  // you controller name
                     new { id = 1 }, // (optional) route values
                     new { @class = "someClass" })

well, what i suggest you to do is, on the click of the above ActionLink you should goto some action(your action) in a contoller(your controller) and in that action, you should create object of class(which you want to access) like this
public ActionResult GetMyLogs(int id){
    DataFetch Object_DataFetch  = new DataFetch();
    ObjectMyClass.GetLogs(1);
....
....
return "";
}

Hope this will help

In the summer of 1951, at the young age of 12, David Hersk took an interest in the recording process after listening to a number of records that contained his Bar Mitzvah lessons.
In 1953 David purchased a used Wilcox- Gay Recordette ($25.00) that featured a radio, a built-in microphone and a disc player and recorder that allowed David to record songs played on the radio to a 10 inch disc (78 RPM). After about six months of use, he realized 78 RPM records were beginning to fade out and saw an ad in the local newspaper for a Wilcox-Gay Recordette 3. David purchased the unit ($75.00) which allowed for cutting discs at all three recording speeds (45 RPM, 33 1/3 RPM and 78 RPM).
In 1954, as a sophomore at North High School in Minneapolis, David decided to start up a recording business and purchased a Magnecorder PT-6 reel to reel full track machine ($65.00) and a Dynamic microphone. With some help from his parents in transporting the recorder around town (a 40 pound machine), David began recording live performances of various music groups, mainly high school bands, vocal groups, and musical plays. The first group David recorded was The Quarter Notes, a vocal group from Robbinsdale High School, backed up with a piano player. At the time, male quartets like The Four Freshman, The Four Lads, and The Four Aces were quite popular. David also recorded recitals by music students at the MacPhail Center for the Performing Arts. With a Rek-O-Kut Challenger Disc Recorder ($495.00) purchased at Hi – Fi Sounds located at 14th and Nicollet (managed by Syd Swach), David could cut acetates at 33 RPM or 78 RPM, one disc at a time.
In 1954/1955, David tuned in to a midnight radio show on WMIN (1400 on the dial), hosted by DJ Merle Edwards. The show featured early R & B and rock'n'roll songs by artists including: The Drifters; Clyde McPhatter; Johnny Ace; and Bill Haley and the Comets. David would call and request songs and then record them on his Rek-O-Kut Disc Recorder. At times, Merle would give David a "heads up" on the air so that he could start recording and not miss the the first part of the song.
In 1955 David replaced the Rek-O-Cut Challenger with a 3 speed Rek-O-Kut Imperial. This model included a spiraling crank used to separate songs (by adding bands) on the discs.
At the start of his junior year at North High (1955), David asked his parents about the possibility of finishing the basement in the family house (1501 Newton Avenue North in Minneapolis) with the idea of turning the basement in to a recording studio. With the full support of his parents, the basement was finished with asbestos/asphalt tile flooring, paneled walls and an acoustic tile ceiling. A small control room with a door and a window was built. An upright piano was purchased for $35.00 and was the only piece of musical equipment in the studio.
In 1956 David purchased a Presto 6N Disc Recorder which replaced the Rek-O-Kut Disc Recorder and a Grampian Cutting Head with a Gotham Amplifier was added ($1,000.00), allowing for David to cut masters (also called lacquers), now with three choices of speed: 33, 45 and 78 RPM. An Ampex 350 monaural tape recorder replaced the Magnecorder PT-6. Still a junior in high school, David began working for United Hardware Distributing Company (2432 North 2nd Street) in their advertising department as a key liner.
In 1957, David graduated from North High School and more upgrades were made to the basement studio, including a new two-track Ampex recorder (351-2) along with an Ampex mixer. The two-track Ampex machine allowed for David to record in stereo for the first time. The number of microphone inputs was expanded to eight and additional microphones were added including: Sony; Telefunken; and RCA. In addition, a light weight Ampex 601-2 was purchased for remote recordings.
In 1958 David purchased an AM 31-A Neumann Lathe ($2,850.00) and began to offer package deals to recording clients: for $495.00 individual artists or groups would get three hours of studio time and 1,000 45's pressed up on David's Gaity record label. 25 of the 1,000 records were pressed on gold colored vinyl as promo copies, the rest were pressed on the standard black vinyl. Many of the records were sold to fans before and after live jobs by the recording artists. The records were made at a local pressing plant (Kay Bank) located at 2120 North Washington Avenue in Minneapolis. David became good friends with Vern Bank, the owner of Kay Bank Recording Company and the two teamed up to order blank discs from Transco in New Jersey, as large purchases of the acetates was more economical than small orders.
The origin of the name Gaity is not clear. David believes his mother may have suggested the name Gaeity ("1. merrymaking; also: festive activity – often used in plural. 2. high spirits: merriment" according to Merriam – Webster) and a typo resulted in Gaity.
The first band to record at the basement studio and release a record was The Blue Kats, who recorded an original song ("Oh Yeah") and a Gene Vincent song ("Be Bop A Lula") in the early part of 1958. The record was mastered at Kay Bank and pressed up at Kay Bank on blue vinyl.
The next band to record for Gaity was a band from St. Paul called The Glenrays. The band recorded two original instrumentals called "Easy Rhythm" backed with "Haunted By Repetition." The record was mastered and pressed by Shelly Products in Huntington Station, New York. The record was pressed on polystyrene, using injection molding, which was a faster and cheaper pressing process. The Glenrays would return to Gaity and provide the musical backup for a number of singers and vocal groups who recorded at the studio.
With each new 45 released the basement studio in North Minneapolis grew in popularity and brought in local bands and singers from across the twin cities (plus a few from out of state) that reflected a wide variety of the popular music of the times: rock'n'roll; doo-wop; rockabilly; rhythm and blues; surf; gospel; country; folk and even novelty songs.
Following the The Glenrays and The Blue Kats and The Sonics, the following groups (and singers) were recorded by David Hersk between 1958 and 1962 in the basement studio and had records released on the Gaity label (or a related label): The String Kings; The Velquins; The Delricos; Jerry Robert and the Toppers; The Flames; The Wisdoms; Chuck Carson; Aldon and the EC's; Tommy Lee and the Orbits; Corvairs; Curtis and the Galaxies; Howie Butler and the Reflections; The Rhythm Rockers; Miller-Olsen Combo; Diane Edmond; and The Big M's.
In 1959, David stopped by Kay Bank Recording and listened in on a recording session that was taking place. The artist was Bobby Vee from Fargo, North Dakota, who was recording his first 45 for Soma Records, "Suzie Baby." This song would get Bobby Vee a record deal with Liberty Records in Los Angeles and he would go on to become one of the top 1960's recording stars from the Midwest.
In the late 1959/early 1960 time period, David recorded the first folk band to visit the basement studio. The group, the Mark 4 Trio (from St. Paul), recorded a number of songs including "Cotton Fields." David sent the acetate to Cameo – Parkway in Philadelphia hoping to secure a recording contract for the group. The record company turned down the Mark 4 Trio and then released "Cotton Fields" by The Highwaymen, who had a national hit record with the song.
In 1962, David contacted Sydney Frey of Audio Fidelity Records in New York City about two groups he was working with, The Robbinsdale Chorale and The Levee Loungers (a Dixieland band from St. Paul with lead singer Dave Wesley). As a result, both groups released live albums recorded by David on the Audio Fidelity label. Audio Fidelity was the very first record company to release a stereo record. The company, an audiophile label, was known for recording esoteric musical groups and for their high quality recordings, pressings and album covers.
The basement studio moved to a new location in the summer of 1962, the basement of the Empire Photosound building near Lyndale and Franklin. David went to work for the company as a motion picture sound engineer (industrial films) and they offered him the use of the basement for his own studio. All of the recording equipment was moved from the basement location in North Minneapolis to the basement of the Empire Photosound building. A minor change in the recording equipment was a switch from tape echo to using Hammond Organ springs for reverb, which provided a more natural sound that was popular at the time.
In September, 1962, David became involved with Junior Achievement and formed Hi Top Records, the very first Junior Achievement record company. Keith Critchlow, a student at Edina High School and a member of The Yeomen, a folk band from Edina, was the president of the local Junior Achievement group.
On October 21, 1962, The Yeomen, recorded an album at the new studio location. The group members were: Jack Otterness on guitar and vocals; Keith Critchlow on banjo and vocals; Don Bennett on stand-up bass and vocals; and Bob Finkenauer on guitar and vocals. The Yeomen recording was the first record to be released on the Hi Top label and was eventually licensed to Mercury for national release. Mercury also released a 45 of the band.
David acted as an advisor to Hi Top Records, which was run by students from various high schools in the twin cities. Under David's supervision, the students had the opportunity to work in the record business, with a formal business organization that included a president, vice president, secretary, treasurer, director of promotions, and other officers. The company held meetings once a week at night at the Junior Achievement Center in South Minneapolis.
In late 1962/early 1963, The Westwinds, a folk band from Robbinsdale, released the next recording for Hi Top Records. The group recorded two songs at the Gaity location at Empire Photosound that were released on a 45: "Cotton Mill Girls" backed with "500 Miles." The group also recorded a live performance of a song called "Rain" for an industrial film.
Under David's leadership, Hi Top Records became one of the highest grossing Junior Achievement companies in the country. Ironically, Hi Top came to end in June of 1963, after David was informed by the national leaders of Junior Achievement that the company "made too much money" and was "too commercial" to be considered a Junior Achievement company.
In early 1963, after six months at Empire Photosound, the studio moved again, this time to the auditorium in the Calhoun Beach Club (formerly occupied by WTCN radio station). The lathe was returned to the original basement studio location at David's home.
David recorded another folk group called The Flint Hill Singers, from Washburn High School in Minneapolis. The 10 piece group recorded about 12 songs, enough for an album. Among the songs was an original song written by the owner of the Sheraton Ritz Hotel chain and the group performed the song (among others) at the grand opening of the Sheraton Ritz Hotel in downtown Minneapolis.
In the summer of 1963, the studio moved again, this time to the former studio of WDGY Radio in the Builder's Exchange Building on 4th Street in downtown Minneapolis. WDGY had left downtown Minneapolisto build a new studio near their transmission towers in Bloomington.
A reformed version of The Flint Hill Singers with six members recorded additional folk songs at the new studio location, two of which were released as a demonstration for Evatone Flexible Records.
David recorded a four song demo tape for another local folk band, The Goldebriars. The group was: Dotti and Sheri Holmberg on vocals; Curt Boecher on guitar and vocals; Ron Nielsen and banjo; and Keith Olsen on standup bass.
In the fall of 1963, David flew out toNew York City to shop for record deals for The Flint Hill Singers and The Goldebriars. At Columbia Records, David met with Bob Morgan, an executive with Epic Records, a subsidiary of Columbia. Bob turned down The Flint Hill Singers and informed David that they sounded like The New Christy Minstrels. Epic did sign The Goldebriars to a contract for three albums.
The Jades would record the final 45 released on Gaity, "Blue, Black Hair" backed with "Surfin' Crow." The A-side of the record was written by local songwriter Bill Normandin, who had written the song for Elvis Presley, however after mailing the song to the Elvis national fan club, Bill never heard back from them. The B-side of the record was inspired by the national success of "Surfin' Bird" by The Trashmen. The Jade's record was released in early 1964.
In 1964 David went to work for Viking Press in Bloomington, working in graphic design, which included the graphics for the record jackets for recordings coming out of Kay Bank. From Viking Press, David moved on to RB Graphics and then on to Melody Masters, where David did graphics and mastering on his Neumann Lathe. In 1965 the company built an addition on to their office space (near 94th and James, just west of Freeway 35W) with plans to open up a new recording studio, however, the plans changed after the space was built and Dove Recording Studio (formerly located in St. Louis Park) moved into the space. David sold his recording equipment to Dove, with the exception of the Neumann cutting system, which was sold to an out of town buyer.
The "big bang" era of rock music triggered by Bill Haley and the Comets with their epochal song "Rock Around the Clock" sent shock waves around the world in 1955 and budding young musicians in the twin cities headed to the local music stores to buy guitars and drums and amps and a microphone or two and rounded up some like minded friends to start up new bands. David Hersk was one of a very small group of entrepreneurs in town who saw an opportunity to record the new groups, press up their records and perhaps even wind up with a song on one of the local radio stations… and hopefully make a profit along the way. With the excitement of a "brand new" type of music, came the excitement of recording the new sound on vinyl records with the ever improving recording equipment of the times. David got some of the Gaity records played on the local rock'n'roll stations in town… at KDWB, where he knew Tac Hammer (real name Lance Hammer) and at WDGY, where he knew Dan Daniel.
By the end of 1965, David was winding down his days in the local music business, but would be involved in numerous musical projects over the years. With the small pressings of the Gaity 45's and the passing of time, very few of these records were even known to exist, with only a small number of the original band members and record collectors actually owning the recordings. It was not until the late 1970's and the early 1980's that interest in the tiny independent label began to grow as record collectors and music historians began to seek out the early rock'n'roll recordings from the twin cities. Finally, in 1994, two albums (on both vinyl and CD's) were released of the Gaity recordings, each album with 20 songs by various artists who were recorded by David Hersk between 1958 and 1964. With the release of the two volume album, it became clear that David Hersk had played an important role in the early days of rock'n'roll music working as a recording engineer, studio owner, record company owner, record promoter, music licenser and publisher, and record album designer, among other related jobs.
The Gaity records are "bare bones" on the production side, but the sounds captured on the vinyl discs are loaded with the raw and rowdy spirit of the early local rock'n'roll pioneers of the late 1950's and early 1960's. The Minneapolis– St. Paul music scene in the late 1950's and early 1960's consisted of a couple dozen or so bands that would play at school dances, roller rinks, private parties, fraternity parties at the University of Minnesota… and if they were good enough, maybe even land a job at the Marigold Ballroom, the Prom Center, or the Crystal Coliseum. The Coliseum (a roller rink) was one of the first local venues to feature local rock bands on a regular basis. The large Quonset hut building had a stage and a hardwood dance floor… soda pop only, no alcohol. It was at this venue in Crystal, a North suburb of Minneapolis, where the local bands got a chance to show off their talent to the local rock'n'roll fans, among them were some who were (or would be) musicians themselves. Many of the bands who recorded at Gaity played live at the Crystal Coliseum. These early "pioneer" bands (among others at the time), along with David Hersk and a small number of music industry professionals in the mid/late 1950's and early 1960's hammered together a small but vibrant music scene in town. This early foundation would become a spring board of sorts that would help launch the tremendous local music scene of the 1960's… a scene that no one from this early time period could have possibly ever imagined.
David Hersk passed away at age 77 on July 19, 2016. David had been living in Golden Valley, Minnesota.
