Mary McCartney talks Abbey Road documentary's timing, from Kate Bush's rare appearance to Ye's 'upsetting' one

You'd think that Mary McCartney — the eldest child of Paul and Linda McCartney, and the director the new Abbey Road Studios documentary If These Walls Could Sing — would bring up her father when asked about her earliest memories of the hallowed Abbey Road space. She instead brings up Kate Bush, another British pop icon she managed to convince to take part in the film, despite all odds.
"I think my first sort of memory [of Abbey Road] is walking into the reception area when I was a little kid, probably like 6 or 7," Mary recalls. "The reception area there used to have photographs of all of the musicians that had been there before, this beautiful gallery of pictures. And there was Kate Bush… I Really remember seeing that picture."
Mary reached out to Bush well before the reclusive songstress's 37-year-old Hounds of Love single, "Running Up That Hill," became a surprise 2022 hit thanks to Stranger Things. Mary already believed that Kate "was very important to include in the film, because she produced her own music there. She also directed her own music documentaryaries. She was an amazing talent who used Abbey Road so well.
"I texted her and said, 'Would you mind… could I speak to you? I'm directing this documentary — could we speak?' I was Very nervous," Mary confesses. "And she was like, 'Oh, thank you, but you know I don't do interviews.' … Well, I knew that she doesn't do on-camera Interviews so I kind of kept in touch. … Eventually I just said, 'Look, it's so important to have you included. Could you just record it? [as audio only] and send it?' And hat's what she ended up doing. It was heard, and I received it. Chills. … I literally couldn't believe my luck. It is one of my favorite things. The highlights of my life, getting to know Kate and being able to speak to her about her history there."
Obviously, Bush's fortuitous inclusion could not have been more timely. But as Mary set out to illustrate that Abbey Road Studios was more than just the Beatles' sacred space, another artist's "upsetting" appearance in If These Walls Could Sing It turned out that the timing was not so good. The film includes several minutes of archive footage from 2006 of Ye (then known as Kanye West), at Abbey Road with an all-female string quartet of 17 members, recording his live album. Late Orchestration. Mary insists that Ye did not interview her or film any new footage. egregious antisemitic commentsIt was too late to even consider editing the segment from the documentary.
"It's upsetting, because any kind of antisemitism or racism is something that really is very upsetting to me, and to most everybody else. The interview [in the film] is a really vintage interview that was done at the time of him recording there a long time ago," Mary sighs. "Including him that in the process, when I was making the documentary, was to include all the different range of artists that have been there utilizing that space. It was a wonderful album that he produced there. … But the documentary had already been locked. Then, a lot of his interviews with the press that he had been doing began to happen. It's quite upsetting."
Among the new interviews that Mary conducted for the film were Oasis's Gallagher brothers — separately, of course. While she might have managed to convince Kate Bush to record original narration, getting Liam & Noel in the same space was always going to prove difficult. ("I can only do my best!" Mary laughs.) Her conversations with two rock legends were particularly instructive.
"I had no idea that Elton John and Jimmy Page had been session musicians there!" Mary marvels. "I had thought, 'Let's talk about session musicians and recording processes,' and we went through the recording sheets that tell you who's been there — and then one sheet read: 'Jimmy Page'! … I think that was one of the big surprises for me, being able to talk to Elton and Jimmy about how — so It is best to start early, early in their careers — Abbey Road really influenced them, how they cut their teeth there and learned their craft at Abbey Road."
Page, who played on Shirley Bassey's "Goldfinger" recording at Abbey Road, also shared a funny tale with Mary about that session. "It was a folklore story," she chuckles. "I'd heard that when John Barry was producing 'Goldfinger' for Bond, Dame Shirley Bassey held the note for so long that she collapsed — but I didn't know if it was a true story. And then we found this archive of her singing, and John Barry said, 'You need to hold that final note until the end credits finish.' And so she held it, held it, held it — and it wasn't finishing! It took her so long to hold it, that she collapsed to the ground when it was over. It was great that Jimmy Page was playing his guitar during that session so he was able tell me what he saw. He just watching her, and she was so incredible and so dramatic."

In the end, though, Abbey Road will always be mainly associated with Beatles, and Mary even learned new stories about them when she interviewed her father and Ringo Starr — like the fact that Paul had made a crude, pre-photo-shoot pencil drawing of the four Beatles single-file-strutting that famous crosswalk, an iconic image that eventually graced the Abbey Road Album cover as a live action shot. "I didn't know about that!" she chuckles. "He told me that story and he was like, 'When I sketched it out…' And I was like, 'Wait. Where's This sketch? I Not required to put that in the documentary!'"
It could even be argued that Abbey Road became the much-debated "Fifth Beatle," in a way, after the Beatles ceased touring and became more of a studio band. Abbey Road was so important to the Beatles' sound that groundbreaking albums like Revolver And Sgt. Pepper's Lonely Hearts Club Band might have sounded quite different if they'd been recorded in another space. One amazing moment in If These Walls Could Sing, for instance, is about how the Beatles created another famous long note — that droning, 42-second E-major chord on Sgt. Pepper's side B, in "A Day in the Life" — with four pianos.
"It was hard to choose what songs to include in the documentary, but that one I was definite about from day one, because it's one of my favorites. But also it's got great stories within it," says Mary. "I think the orchestra was a bit freaked-out, because they usually always read music and that's how they create. It was a wonderful story that showed how the Beatles changed and pushed boundaries with great results.
Mary continues: "Abbey Road allowed the Beatles real freedom, and they really collaborated with the technicians and the engineers and obviously George Martin, all so high-caliber. It was a true collaborative effort. So, if they were like, 'How do we get this creative sound?,' an engineer might go, 'Well, let's take this tape and we'll loop it around here.' They were inventing new things all the time, which was really accelerated and exciting. Abbey Road was able to keep up with the Beatles' creativity because they were all breaking boundaries, they were changing the rules, they were utilizing all of the space. They recorded in every room. They used pianos found in Abbey Road, which affected the sound. There were sound effects, because Abbey Road had comedy records recorded there in the '50s, so they could use that. Abbey Road was where they felt secure, safe, and looked after. They weren't being hindered in any way."
Mary — a first-time film director, but, like her late mother, a longtime professional photographer — admits that "one of the big challenges" in making If These Walls Could Sing was keeping an audience interested and invested in a film about a "90-year-old building." So, she mostly avoided the "nerdy side of it," explaining, "Within my photography and anything I do, it's about people and emotion and connections. I chose to tell emotional stories that would draw the viewer in. … What I'm happy about in the documentary is the interviews feel quite personal. Everyone felt at ease, as if they were really there. Wanted To talk about the space. They're reflective and inclusive of the audience. It's almost like you're at home there.
"I mean, I see people all the time on this zebra-crossing, making that pilgrimage to the space, because it really means so much to so many people. And so, by the end of watching the documentary, I hope you feel that you've been to the space, and that you understand why people are so passionate about it, and why people still are recording there to this day."

When a gravitational wave passes by it stretches space in one direction, and squeezes it in the other. We can use a type of instrument called a laser interferometer to measure this effect.
When a gravitational wave passes it stretches and squeezes the arms of an interferometer. The distances between the beam splitter (black) and the end mirrors (blue) alternately increase and decrease. The photodiode (green) observes an interference pattern in the combined laser light. Cartoon modified from Abbot et al. (2009).
A laser interferometer works by shining a laser beam onto a half-silvered mirror, which we call a beam splitter. This mirror reflects half the light that hits it, and lets the other half pass through. We can angle this mirror so that half the light is reflected off to the side and the other half travels straight on, forming an L-shape. These two halves of the laser then each shine off a mirror and are reflected back to the beam splitter where they are joined together again. We use a photodiode to measure how the two halves interfere with each other as they are combined.
If both halves travel exactly the same distance they will interfere in a way that makes the photodiode see no light. But if the distances are different, even only slightly, the interference will mean a little light is detected.
We already know that if we build a laser interferometer and a gravitational wave passes by, it can make space stretch and squeeze so that one arm of the L-shape gets a little longer, and the other arm gets a little shorter. So our instrument should show a pattern of light interference whenever a gravitational wave passes by.
The LIGO (Laser Interferometer Gravitational-Wave Observatory) is, as its name suggests, just such an instrument. In fact, two giant interferometers make up LIGO. They are located 3,000 km apart in the USA; one at Hanford, Washington and the other at Livingston, Louisiana. They were built so far apart because a gravitational wave, which travels at the speed of light, will arrive at each instrument at slightly different times. That helps to narrow down the direction it came from.
Each one has 4 km long arms where very powerful lasers are fired along vacuum tubes to large, ultra-pure, highly polished mirrors. A strong gravitational wave from space, like one from the collision of two black holes, will only change the length of the arms by 1 part in a billion trillion (1,000,000,000,000,000,000,000). That means the 4 km distance between the beam splitter and the end mirror in LIGO changes by 0.1% the size of an atomic nucleus. Yet LIGO is sensitive enough to measure this effect.
The LIGO Hanford (top) and Livingston (bottom) observatories.
Unfortunately, gravitational waves are not the only things that can make LIGO's mirrors move by this microscopic amount. Vibrations from distant traffic, bad weather, and tiny earthquakes all pose problems as they can mask the effect of gravitational waves. Even the miniscule jiggling of atoms in the mirrors, tiny fluctuations in the laser light, and interference from electronic equipment inside the detector can be troublesome.
The LIGO detectors operated from 2002 to 2010, then were switched off for upgrades to turn them into Advanced LIGO. In September 2015 upgrades were completed and the observatories began taking data again. They were more than three times more sensitive than the best measurements made before the upgrades, and by 2019 they should be 10 times better than they were. This will raise the chances of detecting a gravitational wave by a factor of 1,000, so the hope is that Advanced LIGO may make the first ever direct detections of gravitational waves.

This inner-old-self-phenomena made for a really strange kid. Young Robin was weird. I crocheted on the regular. I entered (and won once!) adult-level poetry contests. My favorite book was (is) Gone with the Wind. I had a moderate-to-concerning obsession with TLC & HGTV interior design programs. I also l o v e d TV Land. One Saturday, my mom awoke to find me writing a research paper on Abraham Lincoln. On my own accord. For no reason at all except to compile all of the research I had been doing that week "for fun." I think I was ten.
And on brand, one of my favorite places on the planet earth was Barnes and Noble. Near the greeting card section, B&N stocked home accessories, completely swooning my tiny old lady heart.
If you haven't had enough Robin Fun Facts today, here's your bonus: I have also been obsessed with monkeys since from birth. And during one thrilling B&N adventure, Little old-lady-hearted, monkey-obsessed, design-on-the-brain Robin discovered heavy, ridiculously overpriced brass monkey bookends in a glass case. The end. all. of cool bookends. Because bookends, duh, were really cool.
I begged and begged my mother for them. And like a good, sane mother, who clearly thought she was witnessing a fleeting "I see it and want it and will forget about it in two days" pleading fit, said, "Your birthday is coming up. If you still want them this badly then, you can use your birthday money for them." And we left, bookendless and broken hearted.
So for my ninth birthday, I used every last dollar I was gifted + every cent I saved doing chores for over a month to purchase heavy, overpriced brass monkey bookends.
In their shining place of decorative glory on my bedroom dresser, my best friend came over that day, took one look at them, and curtly informed me it looked like they were sitting on the toilet. In my bliss, I did not care.
And while my tastes have changed ever so slightly over 16 years, and my living room isn't littered with stuffed monkeys and boy band posters, the bookends always find a home.
I haven't much outgrown an appreciation for reading and physically bound books, either, at 25-going-on-37. I also married a bookworm-grad-student. Our storage runneth over.
I'm not much for whims, but on a recent Half Price Books excursion, I suggested we had to figure out our book situation. We had both agreed we really wanted a bookcase for ease of access + home aesthetics.
One Target Detour was all it took, and Austin spotted a piece that has really tied our duplex living space together. It's felt like the missing piece we didn't know the space was missing, and is one of my favorite additions to our new(ish) home. We don't have the square footage to pull all of our books out and not suffocate, but it's felt like a good start + freed up a box space in the closet + gave the monkeys a proper home.
I'ts technically a console table that I can't recommend higher for a functional pop of character in a small space.
Those monkeys!!! I remember when you moved out I did not wrap them good enough and you took them out of the box to repack them! I guess it was not a fleeting moment of wanting them !

Drinkers urged to support their local pubs
Drinkers were urged to give their backing to a national campaign to save Britain's pubs as the first pints flowed at this year's Reading Beer & Cider Festival yesterday afternoon.

Reading Beer & Cider Festival judges Dave McKerchar, left, Peter Cook, Rory McAllister, Tom Fahey and Hugh Macaulay get to work
The festival organised by Reading and Mid Berks Campaign for Real Ale (CAMRA) was opened by Greg Mulholland MP who called for support for the Fair Deal For Your Local campaign.
The campaign is calling on the Government to ensure that pubs only pay an independently assessed market fair rent to companies which own more than 500 pubs.
Liberal Democrat Mr Mulholland, who is chairman of the all-party Parliamentary Save The Pub Group, said: "The big problem, and what the campaign is focusing on, is the large pub companies that are effectively property companies and charging huge rents and inflated prices for beer which is making it impossible for many pubs which would otherwise be viable and forcing them to shut.
"But there is a very positive future for pubs if we can get the Government to act so that licensees of the large companies pay an independently assessed fair market rent only."
Jane Marsden, 60, and her husband Bernie, left The Retreat in St John's Street after 10 years in November last year, due to the rising cost of rent and price of beer by Admiral Inns.
Giving her support to the campaign Mrs Marsden said: "It has came too late for us. We had 10 years struggling hard with pub companies who thought it was a cash cow for them, but hopefully it will let other people come into the trade to know they won't be turned over and drained."
Earlier Mr Mulholland launched the campaign at The Jolly Anglers which was shut by Enterprise Inns in July 2009 but re-opened less than a year later after a campaign to save the Kennetside pub.
Former Lib Dem councillor Gareth Epps, who supported the fight to save The Jolly Anglers, said: "These are big property companies and are using businesses practices which should have been outlawed years ago."
"It has taken a huge amount of pressure including four reports from cross-party select committees to agree unanimously, and finally the Government has agreed to consult on change.
"The message I am getting from publicans, brewers and consumers is that they want more choice, and that has got to be a good thing."
The beer festival – including judging of a regional Champion Beer of Britain competition – started yesterday and continues until Sunday.

La cistícola de Madagascar  (Cisticola cherina) és una espècie d'ocell passeriforme de la família Cisticolidae pròpia de Madagascar i Seychelles. Forma una superespècie amb el trist i la cistícola de Socotra.

Descripció
És un ocell petit, d'uns 11 cm de llarg i un pes entre 8 i 11 g. El plomatge en general és bru, el de les parts superiors amb vetejat fosc, amb la gola blanca i la resta de les parts inferiors són clares, grisenques o camusses. Hi ha variacions individuals de color, uns són més grisencs i altres més bruns.

Hàbitat i distribució
Ocupa una gran varietat d'hàbitats oberts, com les sabanes, els herbassars, aiguamolls, zones de matoll, els límits del bosc i les seves clarianes. També es troba en zones modificades per l'home com a pastures i terres de conreu.

És una espècie sedentària que es troba a la totalitat de Madagascar i també a les illes d'Astove i Cosmoledo, de les Seychelles. Se sospita que la població de les Seychelles és fruit d'una colonització recent, encara que hi ha alguns registres antics de l'espècie allà.

Months of snow and ice and now the melt begins. Temperatures are finally hovering above zero, which means endless slush and dense, dense fog akin to the pea soupers of Victorian London. Creepy but cool. Already, thoughts have turned to the tasks awaiting in Spring, and this year will be scary as we're unsure what damage the winter caused to the house and garden. The front hedge is destroyed from the weight of the snow, as is the back fence. I fear the guttering will have collapsed, and the gate already needs replacing. It's the waterworks which scares me the most, though. Taps, boiler and underground pipes (the worst possible). This behemoth icicle was hanging from my bath tap (faucet), which is not good sign.
It looks like a dragon's claw (or have i been playing too much Skyrim?). Winter can be a very costly affair and sorting it out reduces what I can do to actually advance. One step forward, two steps back. This thaw may still be a false Spring, with winter coming back for a longer run.
Having a long winter gave my dog, Sandy, time to catch up on his work, which is good thing. Although, I wish he wouldn't smoke so much.

The 2022 World Cup Will Be in Qatar
Until the World Cup was awarded to Qatar in 2010, six of the eight stadiums where the tournament would be held did not exist. That made the tournament far more unique than most expected. However, the FIFA Board received input from key stakeholders in the football community. And the final decision is that Qatar will host the 2022 World Cup.
The final spot in the World Cup finals will be decided in June 2022. The winners of the intercontinental playoff matches will fill the remaining slots. The four Asian slots went to Japan, South Korea, Saudi Arabia, and Iran. The other two spots were filled by the North America and Oceania confederations.
France has every reason to defend its World Cup title in 2022. The team has the depth of talent to make it to the semifinals. But it will have to find a goal-scorer, and a way to accentuate Messi's gifts. And there is the prospect of the tournament being a springboard for star player Kylian Mbappe.
Belgium has a great deal of attacking talent and might have the best team in the tournament. But the team's defensive ranks have thinned in recent years. This could pose a problem for the side, which has lost to Portugal and Ireland and been beaten by Portugal in a recent World Cup qualifier. It could also mean that the team will need a helping hand in the draw.
Senegal has a lot of top European players. But it will face a tough group, which includes Algeria, Morocco, and Tunisia. That group has never made it past the group stage in any of the previous five World Cups.
Wales has not played in a World Cup since 1958. But it has qualified by winning two of its three qualifying games and beating Ukraine in a playoff. Wales advanced to the semis in 2014 and has the potential to make it back in four years.
England has been good at qualifying for tournaments, having only missed one major final in the last 12 years. The country has also made the semifinals of the 2021 European Championship, and its young players are improving every year. It could be a sign of things to come for the country.
The United States has a young, talented core that could make a great team. This group includes Gio Reyna, Christian Pulisic, and Tyler Adams. Earlier in the season, the team defeated New Zealand in a playoff. It will be interesting to see how the country's young players perform in a tournament that will be compressed into a mere four weeks.
Spain has been eliminated from the last three men's World Cups. This is a team that has been cobbled together. However, it still has some star players, including Sergio Busquets, Andres Iniesta, and Thomas Partey. It also has a promising young forward in Pedri.
Brazil has been a powerhouse in South American soccer for years. It will not have a great record in the World Cup, but it is still very strong. It is not a team to take lightly.

SCTDA Showcases Latest Tourism & Environmental Projects at Riyadh Travel Fair 2018
Published April 9th, 2018 - 11:09 GMT
Khalid Jasim Al Midfa, Chairman of SCTDA
The Sharjah Commerce and Tourism Development Authority (SCTDA) is focusing the spotlight on the latest achievements and developments of its tourism sector, through its participation at the 10th edition of Riyadh Travel Fair 2018, which will be held at the Al Faisaliah Tower Hotel in Riyadh. Participating for the seventh time, the SCTDA will be taking part at the event along with 270 participating companies and institutions from all over the world to review the key trends and recent developments in the tourism sector, in addition to highlighting the largest tourism projects and initiatives that are currently underway in the Emirate of Sharjah.
HE Khalid Jasim Al Midfa, Chairman of SCTDA, is heading the delegation, which includes representatives of government authorities and hospitality service providers in the emirate, including Sharjah Chamber of Commerce & Industry, Air Arabia; Oceanic Khorfakkan Resort & Spa; Radisson Blu Resort, Sharjah; Sharjah Airport Travel Agency (SATA); Al Rais Tours & Holidays; Sheraton Sharjah Beach Resort & Spa; Al Bait Hotel and Sharjah Collection
Commenting on this move H.E. Al Midfa said: "The Authority's participation in the exhibition is an ideal opportunity to showcase Sharjah's tourism products in the Saudi market, which have grown exponentially in recent years. This will help build partnerships and opportunities for collaboration with the Saudi tourism sector, which is one of the largest Gulf markets that sends tourists to the emirate. We are focusing our efforts on enhancing the contribution of the tourism and commercial sectors to support the economic, social, cultural and environmental development of Sharjah by promoting sound planning to ensure sustainable growth in this vital sector."
The emirate of Sharjah is an extremely popular destination among Saudi tourists because of its diverse tourism and cultural offerings, in addition to the finest hospitality services and facilities. Furthermore, a wide range of entertainment and shopping destinations and international cultural festivals add to the emirate's reputation as the perfect family-friendly holiday destination. The preservation of cultural and civilizational aspects, traditions and language are other major factors that attract Saudi families to the emirate.
Al Midfa concluded: "The emirate of Sharjah enjoys a prominent position in the Saudi market, attracting around 136,000 Saudi tourists during 2017, as it is an ideal destination for families. Through our participation in the exhibition, we look forward to further enhancing Sharjah's reputation as one of the best tourism and commercial destinations in the world and strengthening cooperation and coordination with various entities to take the ambitious development projects in the UAE forward. These efforts complement the vision of H.H Sheikh Dr. Sultan bin Mohammed Al Qasimi, Member of the UAE Supreme Council and Ruler of Sharjah, to increase the number of visitors to 10 million by 2021."
Sharjah's pavilion at the 2018 edition of the Riyadh Travel Fair showcases the most significant tourism and environmental projects launched in the emirate recently, including the Al Badayer Oasis, Kalba Kingfisher Lodge, Novotel Sharjah Expo, Sharjah's Anantara Resort, Pullman Hotel, Al Bait Hotel, Fossil Rock Lodge and the DoubleTree by Hilton. Three more prestigious projects that are in the pipeline are a desert resort in the Mahthab area with 134 rooms, a Tulip hotel with 210 rooms and Ramada Kuwait with 493 rooms.
The tourism and hospitality sector in Sharjah has witnessed a remarkable increase in the number of guests and visitors during the last year, compared to 2016. The sector currently comprises 102 hotel properties, which provide about 10,000 hotel rooms. In addition, the completion of projects that are currently underway will add great value to the success of tourism in the emirate.

Ware Mechanical Weather Alert: Northwest Georgia could see tropical storm winds by Saturday; storm remnants could be a threat by Monday. Deal declares state of emergency. Latest on the tropics and our local forecast.
The latest: Packing 130-mph winds and now racing northwest toward the Carolina coast at 15 mph, Northwest Georgia needs to keep an eye on what happens after the storm comes ashore. The latest forecast map puts Florence — downgraded to a depression — near Northeast Georgia on Monday morning.
Local impact: We could see tropical storm-level winds beginning here between 8 a.m. and 8 p.m. Friday, continuing into Saturday and Sunday. After landfall, there is great uncertainty as to where Florence will go but there are increased indications that the remnants of Florence could effect at least portions of north and central Georgia late Saturday through Tuesday. The situation continues to be a watch and monitor, so please stay tuned to your local forecast.
About Helene: The center of Hurricane Helene was located near latitude 19.2 North, longitude 35.7 West. Helene is moving toward the north-northwest near 13 mph (20 km/h), and a turn toward the north is expected later today. A turn toward the northeast with an increase in forward speed is likely by the end of the week. Maximum sustained winds are near 90 mph (150 km/h) with higher gusts. Gradual weakening is forecast over the next couple of days, and Helene is expected to become a tropical storm on Thursday. Hurricane-force winds extend outward up to 45 miles (75 km) from the center and tropical-storm-force winds extend outward up to 175 miles. For more.
About Isaac: The center of Tropical Storm Isaac was located near latitude 14.5 North, longitude 53.5 West. Isaac is moving toward the west near 16 mph (26 km/h) and this general motion is expected to continue through the weekend. On the forecast track, Isaac's center is forecast to move across the central Lesser Antilles and into the eastern Caribbean Sea on Thursday. Maximum sustained winds have decreased to near 60 mph (95 km/h) with higher gusts. Gradual weakening is forecast during the next few days. Tropical-storm-force winds extend outward up to 105 miles (165 km) from the center. The estimated minimum central pressure is 1000 mb (29.53 inches). A NOAA hurricane hunter aircraft is scheduled to investigate Isaac later this morning and should provide a better assessment of the intensity of the tropical storm and the extent of its winds. For more.
Watching Florence's remnants — "After landfall, there is great uncertainty as to where Florence will go but there are increased indications that the remnants of Florence could effect at least portions of north and central Georgia late Saturday through Tuesday. The situation continues to be a watch and monitor, so please stay tuned to your local forecast." From the hazardous weather outlook, National Weather Service.
Today: A 40 percent chance of showers and thunderstorms, mainly after noon. Partly sunny, with a high near 90. Heat index values as high as 97. East wind around 5 mph.
Tonight: A 30 percent chance of showers and thunderstorms, mainly before 10pm. Patchy fog after midnight. Otherwise, partly cloudy, with a low around 71. Northeast wind around 5 mph becoming calm.
Thursday: A 30 percent chance of showers and thunderstorms, mainly after 1pm. Patchy dense fog before 9am. Otherwise, partly sunny, with a high near 92. Heat index values as high as 99. Calm wind becoming east around 5 mph in the afternoon.
Thursday Night: A 20 percent chance of showers and thunderstorms before 2am. Partly cloudy, with a low around 71. North wind around 5 mph becoming calm.
Friday: Mostly sunny, with a high near 92. Light north wind increasing to 5 to 10 mph in the morning.

Q: bind relational data to view in ember.js I have two models: Company and Person. A company has many people and a person belongs to a company. I'm trying to represent this in the UI. I'm having a hard time figuring out how to bind relational data to the view though.
Here is my Person model
App.Person = DS.Model.extend({

  firstName: DS.attr('string'),

  lastName: DS.attr('string'),

  city: DS.attr('string'),

  state: DS.attr('string'),

  email: DS.attr('string'),

  company: DS.belongsTo('company'),

  fullName: function() {
    return this.get('firstName') + ' ' + this.get('lastName');
  }.property('firstName', 'lastName')
});

Here is my Company model
App.Company = DS.Model.extend({

  name: DS.attr('string'),

  people: DS.hasMany('person')

});

Here is my route
App.Router.map(function() {

    this.resource('people', function() {

        this.resource('person', { path: ':person_id'});

        this.route('new');
    });
});

App.PersonRoute = Ember.Route.extend({

    model: function(params) {

        return this.store.find('person', params.person_id);
    }
});

And here is my view
