Battlefield tourism and Australian national identity: Gallipoli and the Western Front
Type: Text , Book chapter
Relation: Tourism and national identities p. 176-189
Description: In 1914, a little over a decade after federation in 1901, Australia followed the British Empire into the Great War of 1914–18. Many Australians saw the war as an opportunity for the fledgling nation and her citizens to prove their collective and individual worth on the global stage. Enlistment was voluntary throughout the war, and about half of the eligible population, a total of 416,809, signed up to the AIF (Australian Imperial Force). The proportion of casualties to embarkations was over 65 per cent (compared with approximately 52 per cent for Britain): 153,509 people returned wounded or gassed and 61,829 were killed (AWM 2010; Inglis 2005)

Battlefield visitor motivations: Explorations in the Great War town of Ieper, Belgium
Type: Text , Journal article
Relation: International Journal of Tourism Research Vol. 13, no. 2 (2011), p. 164-176
Description: In this study a quantitative method was used to measure the motivations for education, holiday and remembrance for an international sample of visitors to the Great War town of Ieper in Belgium. Three clusters could be formed based upon different structure and intensity of their motivations. A small number of visitors could be identified as pilgrims, while the remainder were tourists, and they evidenced most of the characteristics of the pilgrims. The theory of thanatourism provides a framework through which the motivations and experiences of battlefield tourists for remembrance and education as well as leisure can be better understood.

Centenaire 14-18 online : A brief review
- Winter, Caroline, Knox, Ian
Authors: Winter, Caroline , Knox, Ian
Relation: CAUTHE 2014 : Tourism and Hospitality in the Contemporary World: Trends, Changes and Complexity p. 703-712
Description: It is thought that social memory is partly an effect of the technology used for its expression. In 2014 the centenary of the Great War of 1914-1918 will begin across the world, but focused on the old Western Front battlefields in France and Belgium. The internet is one of the main forms of communication for a number of organisations including government, museums and both public and private organisations and individuals. A small study of three government websites, designed as portals for the 2014-18 commemoration of the Great War revealed some significant differences. Sites for France and Belgium were future oriented and concerned with among other themes, remembrance tourism. The Australian site by comparison was less interactive with almost no reference to travel and with lost opportunities to engage its audience. The study reveals a wealth of future research opportunities through internet commemoration.
Climate change and modal shift: Changing the tradition of Australian domestic holidays
- Winter, Caroline, Frew, Elspeth
Authors: Winter, Caroline , Frew, Elspeth
Relation: Paper presented at Travel and Tourism in the Age of Climate Change: Robust Findings, Key Uncertainties, 7th International Symposium on Tourism and Sustainability
Description: This research involved participants in focus group sessions conducted in metropolitan and regional Australia. Many comments about buses and trains related to the fact that, in addition to a lack of freedom and comfort, travel by these modes often took longer, involved inconvenient connections, and involved greater financial cost than cars and aeroplanes. Few participants considered using trains for holiday travel even though they were happy to use them on a day to day basis, and for journeys of up to two hours. The participants indicated that if the quality of buses and trains were improved they would be likely to make use of them for holiday travel. Important features were comfort, speed, cost, frequency and onboard services. The participants in this study who lived in the inner metropolitan areas discussed a number of ways in which they limit their greenhouse gas emissions on a daily basis, but they demonstrated little difference to other participants with respect to the holiday travel.

Commemoration of the Great War on the Somme: Exploring personal connections
Relation: Journal of Tourism and Cultural Change Vol. 10, no. 3 (2013), p. 248-263
Description: This study was undertaken at two sites on the Somme, France, one of the main battlefields of the Great War (1914-1918). It used a quantitative method and sought to explore the relative strength of two bases of personal connection (family and nation) to interests in visiting the area. The impact of attendance at a commemorative event on visitors' battlefield interests was also explored. The sample at the Thiepval memorial was dominated by British visitors and by Australians at Villers-Bretonneux. The analysis indicated that people with close family connections to the war had higher levels of interest in seeing sites of their family's war-time involvement, desire to pay their respects and historical interest. Attendance at a major national event (Anzac Day) appeared to increase national interest in people who did not have family connections. © 2012 Copyright Taylor and Francis Group, LLC.

Exploring attitudes towards Tourism Australia's "Where the bloody hell are you?"
Relation: Current Issues in Tourism Vol. 11, no. 4 (2008), p. 301-314
Description: It is well known that tourism makes extensive use of national identities to help build brand images, and that such use can result in significant negative impacts to peoples and their cultures. Until recent times, the dominant themes for much of Australia's international tourism advertising campaigns have been based upon male character types, Indigenous culture and landscape. The 2006 'Australian Invitation' campaign which featured a young female model and use of the term 'bloody hell' created a media controversy. The research reported in this paper found that the majority of respondents liked and approved of the campaign, but a cluster analysis distinguished a group of approximately one third of the respondents who held negative attitudes towards it.
Fashion, fantasy and fallen horses: alternate images of thoroughbred racing
- Winter, Caroline, Young, Ward
Authors: Winter, Caroline , Young, Ward
Relation: Annals of Leisure Research Vol. Online, no. (2014), p.
Description: Thoroughbred racing is promoted as the 'Sport of Kings' and thousands of racegoers emulate a wealthy leisured elite at the track and through gambling and horse ownership, seek large financial profits. One of the norms of this racing culture involves a particular clothing style of high fashion which helps to promote racing as glamorous and exciting. In recent years racing has been subjected to a number of shocks resulting from high-profile media work by activist groups concerning horrific horse injuries and deaths at the track, plus claims of widespread cruelty, 'wastage' and whipping. This paper juxtaposes these two racing worlds. It illuminates the position of the animals upon which the industry so heavily depends and argues that in an age of increasing concern for animal welfare, racegoers and the community ought to know how their entertainment was produced. The paper results from a collaboration between academic endeavour and animal activist work.
First World War cemeteries : Insights from visitor books
Relation: Tourism Geographies Vol. 13, no. 3 (2011), p. 462-479
Description: This study concerns some of the military cemeteries that were built in Belgium and France by the Commonwealth War Graves Commission following the First World War of 1914-18. The cemeteries articulate one of the main social memories of the war to remember the dead individually. The performance of tourists and pilgrims in their visits to the cemeteries can be seen as ritual behaviour which helps to perpetuate the memories. The visitor books in 39 cemeteries were examined in order to identify reasons for visitation and patterns across sites. Three clusters were formed using the percentage of visitor book entries in which visitors made reference to specific graves. Half of the cemeteries formed into a cluster which had high visitation but where less than five percent of visitor book entries referred to particular graves.Most of these cemeteries were located close to well-known sites, battlefields or national memorials. A small cluster of seven cemeteries showed relatively low visitation but up to sixty percent of visitors sought a particular grave. The data indicated that relationships between national identity and particular cemeteries were important. © 2011 Taylor & Francis.

Investigating the Role of Prior Knowledge in Tourist Decision Making: A Structural Equation Model of Risk Perceptions and Information Search
- Sharifpour, Mona, Walters, Gabrielle, Ritchie, Brent, Winter, Caroline
Authors: Sharifpour, Mona , Walters, Gabrielle , Ritchie, Brent , Winter, Caroline
Relation: Journal of Travel Research Vol. 53, no. 3 (May 2014 2014), p. 307-322
Description: To date, limited research has investigated the effects of tourist prior knowledge as a multidimensional construct on their perceived risk. This research is one of the first studies to investigate the relationships among tourists' risk perceptions and various types of their prior knowledge, namely subjective knowledge, objective knowledge, prior visitation, and past international travel experience. The research also investigates the nature of the relationship between tourist prior knowledge, risk perceptions, and their subsequent information search behavior. Using structural equation modeling, the results reveal that while objective knowledge did not significantly reduce or increase the risk associated with traveling to the Middle East, subjective knowledge appeared to have the strongest influence on tourist risk perceptions. The results of this study further suggest that while various dimensions of perceived risk may elicit the use of different information sources, prior knowledge also plays a role alongside risk perceptions in determining the information sources used. Implications at both theoretical and practical levels are also discussed.
National visitation on the Western front: A study of some Great War cemeteries
Relation: Transforming and managing destinations : tourism and leisure in a time of global change and risks
Description: Military cemeteries are for many people, the most sacred and meaningful of the memorials built for the Great War (1914-1918). The cemeteries built by the Commonwealth War Graves Commission (CWGC) were located on the battlefields and as far as possible, the dead were buried close to where they fell. It is well known that despite their uniformity, each cemetery has its own story, and can be read as text, according to location, the date it was established and used and the nature of the battles in which the soldiers fought. This paper reports the results of an analysis of notations made by visitors in the visitor books at 66 CWGC cemeteries in France and Belgium. The study focused on the relationships between nationality and specific cemeteries. Some national visitation can be linked to specific battles while other sites appear to attract visitors for a range of other reasons. The results help to provide a picture of visitation patterns which represent the contemporary relationships between visitors and individual cemeteries.

Pozieres and poppies: an analysis of a tourist maker for the Great War
Relation: 18th Annual Council for Australian University Tourism and Hospitality Education (CAUTHE)
Description: Following the Great War of 1914-1918 thousands of memorials were established across the world to justify mass death, to provide for personal mourning, bereavement and honouring of the soldiers. While the memorials retain their function in remembrance of the Great War, they also are increasingly important for a range of visitors, including tourists. The red Flanders poppy was used by the post war generation as a sign for resurrection and remembrance and to help people deal with the death of their loved ones. Today the red poppy has taken on several new uses for tourism in local areas on the Somme, such as directing tourists along a Poppy Trail and indicating the relative interest level of different sites. The research described here considers the contemporary use of the poppy by tourism in the area around the small town of Pozieres on the Somme, France. The research indicates that tourism has potential to change the focus of visitors towards larger monuments and away from smaller sites, in ways that do not necessarily reflect the original meanings of remembrance and commemoration for which the memorials were built. On the other hand, tourism can assist visitors in accessing memorials, museums and other sites of which they have previously been unaware.
Purchasing carbon offset flights in Australia: An exploration of airline websites
Relation: Tourism and Hospitality Research, Training and Practice: "Where the bloody hell are we" p. 1-9
Description: The airline industry has been accused of being the fastest-growing source of greenhouse gases, yet being environmentally friendly does not appear to be an issue very high on the current agenda of airlines, despite the extremely competitive industry they operate within. This exploratory study examined the existence of carbon offset schemes among airlines which operate into and within Australia and questioned the way in which customers are facilitated on these websites to purchase a carbon offset option for their flight. The study found that only four of the 59 airlines operating into and within Australia offer carbon offset schemes and those that do so provide low key promotion of the scheme, with the facilities to select the carbon offset flights located external to the airlines' Home Page. The paper suggests that airlines need to become more serious about carbon offset schemes as a means of capturing the current good-will among passengers and, if nothing else, to create a competitive edge. The paper also suggests that airlines could more effectively introduce carbon offset schemes by recognising them as new products being offered to existing markets. However, the paper also reflects on the responsibility of airlines to educate future customers about the environmental impacts of their air travel by suggesting ways to minimise their impact, including the need to reduce the frequency of flying.
Ritual, remembrance and war: Social memory at Tyne Cot
Relation: Annals of Tourism Research Vol. 54, no. September (2015), p. 16-29
Description: One of the social memories of the Great War of 1914-1918 focused on soldiers killed in battle, with military cemeteries forming important sites for remembrance. This paper reports the results of an analysis of the visitor books at Tyne Cot Cemetery in Belgium, that was built by the Commonwealth War Graves Commission to hold almost 12,000 graves, most of which contain unidentified remains. Tourist's comments in the books evidenced a strong linguistic ritual, expressing sadness, gratitude, approval of the site and promises to remember and never forget the dead. Very little critique of war, or overt nationalistic sentiment was indicated. While some national preferences for ritualized phrases were shown, there was also an indication of a globally shared memory. © 2015 Elsevier Ltd.
Social memory and battle names : Exploring links between travel, memory and the media
Type: Text , Journal article , Review
Relation: Tourism and Hospitality Research Vol. 16, no. 3 (2016), p. 242-253
Description: The profile of five battles fought by Australians in the Great War (1914-1918) was traced over the past century using the frequency by which they were cited in the popular media. The pattern of these frequencies appeared to remain much the same from 1915 until the 1990s with battles involving very large numbers of casualties at Pozières and Passchendaele having a higher media frequency than smaller battles at Fromelles and Villers-Bretonneux. Gallipoli's status as Australia's best known battlefield has been consistent from 1915 until the present day. Over the past decade however, the media frequencies suggest that there has been a re-prioritization in the importance of these five battles. The discovery of lost graves at Fromelles and the introduction of a Dawn Service at Villers-Bretonneux has elevated the importance of these two sites, with the result that tourist visitation to them has also increased. © The Author(s) 2016.
Spatial differentiation of landscape values in the Murray River region of Victoria, Australia
- Zhu, Xuan, Pfueller, Sharron, Whitelaw, Paul, Winter, Caroline
Authors: Zhu, Xuan , Pfueller, Sharron , Whitelaw, Paul , Winter, Caroline
Relation: Environmental Management Vol. 45, no. 5 (2010), p. 896-911
Description: This research advances the understanding of the location of perceived landscape values through a statistically based approach to spatial analysis of value densities. Survey data were obtained from a sample of people living in and using the Murray River region, Australia, where declining environmental quality prompted a reevaluation of its conservation status. When densities of 12 perceived landscape values were mapped using geographic information systems (GIS), valued places clustered along the entire river bank and in associated National/State Parks and reserves. While simple density mapping revealed high value densities in various locations, it did not indicate what density of a landscape value could be regarded as a statistically significant hotspot or distinguish whether overlapping areas of high density for different values indicate identical or adjacent locations. A spatial statistic Getis-Ord Gi* was used to indicate statistically significant spatial clusters of high ! value densities or "hotspots". Of 251 hotspots, 40% were for single non-use values, primarily spiritual, therapeutic or intrinsic. Four hotspots had 11 landscape values. Two, lacking economic value, were located in ecologically important river red gum forests and two, lacking wilderness value, were near the major towns of Echuca-Moama and Albury-Wodonga. Hotspots for eight values showed statistically significant associations with another value. There were high associations between learning and heritage values while economic and biological diversity values showed moderate associations with several other direct and indirect use values. This approach may improve confidence in the interpretation of spatial analysis of landscape values by enhancing understanding of value relationships.

Leah Koenig and husband Yoshie on one of thier family hikes out of Brooklyn
Leah Koenig's Lockdown Life
Our Jewish Cookbook author has morphed into hiking guide and IT Girl, and has ensured the family eats together every night in this challenging time (she is SO looking forward to the most leisurely brunch ever. . . )
Leah Koenig, the author of The Jewish Cookbook, first started cooking at college when she lived in an environmental studies house - what she described to us last year as "a hippie co-op basically."
"We cooked for ourselves – 17 of us - every night and we rotated. People would drop by so we could be cooking for up to 30 people a night. I learned trial by fire!"
That early formative experience has come in useful of late as Leah, like many of us, has been trying to not only survive lockdown life but ensure that her young family thrives during the enforced together time.
While other Phaidon creatives have been taking amazing photographs, or using the time to design furniture Leah has been cooking. A. Lot.
The Jewish Cookbook
"My husband and I are both freelancers so we are used to working from home. But having our two children (aged 5 1/2 and 1) home all the time has been a new challenge. Suddenly we are four people hanging out all day in a cozy Brooklyn 2 bedroom!
"In addition to our regular workloads, my husband and I are now running a full-time day care for the baby and playing tech support for the older kiddo's online school. There are many sweet moments, and we are so grateful for the together time, but it's....a lot.
"One way we manage is by having dinner at the same time every night - it provides a bit of structure and routine and a chance for us to check in about how everyone is feeling. And for a brief moment, as we connect around the table, everything feels normal.
Fish Tagine Couscous from The Jewish Cookbook
"We have also been taking advantage of the surprising amount of green space in and nearby New York City - taking lots of hikes."
And what's the first thing Leah, whose recipes have appeared in the New York Times, The Wall Street Journal and Saveur, to name just a few, plans to do when this is all over?
"When this lockdown ends, our friends are planning to meet at our favorite local cafe (currently just serving coffee and pastries on takeaway) for the longest, most leisurely brunch ever!" Until then we think Leah and her family will be more than OK with her own delicious chocolate rugelach, below.

Litchfield land use administrator analyzes proposed changes to zoning regulations
LITCHFIELD >> The town's land use administrator, Dennis Paul Tobin, responded Wednesday to proposed changes to Litchfield's zoning regulations that would affect large commercial properties.
The changes, if adopted, would require a new building or a simple addition to a previous building to apply for a special exception if it exceeds 10,000 square feet. This would lengthen the application process and add an additional $250 to the price of an application.
Tobin sent a letter to both the Planning & Zoning Commission and the Board of Selectmen, summarizing the proposed changes and giving his response.
He said the proposed change would require owners/applicants in a wide variety of land use categories to apply for a special exception for "a simple addition or for a new building." Those uses include banks, businesses and professional offices, caterers, churches, farms, public parks/playgrounds, public schools, residences used for personal businesses, retail stores, storage businesses, warehouses and wholesale business buildings.
In the letter, Tobin cited the introduction to the book "Images of America: Litchfield," which reads "In an era when progress was defined by the language of economics, Litchfield slipped off the grid. Indeed, it was Litchfield's very aloofness toward progress that preserved its colonial era demographics."
Tobin said that "as a post-modern Land Use Administrator in the year 2013 who daily inspects the Town, I see very little demographics involving people in colonial dress in slipping off the grid of economic progress.
"In almost 300 years of being a Town, will a special exception amendment for size impede economic development?" Tobin's letter asked. "What benefit is it to the commercial interests of the town?"
Tobin's summary noted that the longer process would "risk technical and subjective errors of their own consultants, commissioners and town personnel."
The Litchfield Hills Council of Elected Officials joined both the Board of Selectmen and the Economic Development Committee as groups opposing these proposed changes. Following last Friday's meeting, the council sent a letter to Tobin stressing its problems with the plan. The council unanimously voted to do so.
The LHCEO recently completed a "Northwest Connecticut Comprehensive Economic Development Strategy." One of the opportunities for strengthening the regional economy, the CEDS says, is to actively market the region as "business friendly." This runs counter to the proposed P & Z plan.
Requiring a special permit, the LHCEO letter says, adds a layer of complexity to the local development approval process.
"The applicant is left in a situation where substantial expense may have been incurred to develop an adequate plan with a lower level of assurance that the plan may be approved," the LHCEO letter states.
Planning & Zoning has full control over whether or not to pass this proposed plan. The pile of letters currently at the commission's doorstep are at this point merely recommendations.

Q: Selenium "xpath" giving wrong value I might be doing anything wrong,can anyone correct me where it is.
I have set up a code for some selections:
to_select = wbs.cells(rows,7).value
driver.find_element(:xpath,"//table[contains(@id,'searchTable')]/tbody/tr[contains(@code,to_select)]/td").click

But the above selecting some other values.
When I tried the below,working fine.
driver.find_element(:xpath,"//table[contains(@id,'searchTable')]/tbody/tr[contains(@code,"PowerSelect")]/td").click

Disney settles Scarlett Johansson lawsuit over 'Black Widow' streaming strategy
But the terms of the deals were not disclosed
Disney and Scarlett Johansson are no longer on the outs. The parties have reached a settlement for the lawsuit Johansson filed over the hybrid release strategy used for Black Widow. If you'll recall, the actor sued Disney over the company's decision to release her movie in theaters and on Disney+ at the same time, accusing the entertainment giant of breach of contract.
Johansson's camp argued that Black Widow was supposed to be released in theaters exclusively under her deal with Marvel. According to the lawsuit she filed, she could lose as much as $50 million due to the hybrid release, seeing as her compensation is tied directly with the movie's box office success and doesn't include a cut from what Disney would make from streaming. People have had to pay $30 for a Premier Access pass to watch the movie on Disney+, and the company said Black Widow earned $60 million from streaming during its opening weekend.
Her lawsuit also said that her camp tried to contact Disney and Marvel to re-negotiate their deal, but they were allegedly unresponsive. Neither party disclosed the terms of their agreement, but both issued a statement mentioning future collaborations. Alan Bergman, chairman of Walt Disney Studios, said he looks "forward to working together on a number of upcoming projects, including Disney's Tower of Terror."

Meanwhile, entertainment workers are gearing up for a strike because studios like Disney are rapidly producing content after pandemic-related restrictions had lifted. The situation led to poor working conditions with long hours and no breaks for production crew. Entertainment unions are hoping to convince studios to make changes, including ending the lower pay scale for smaller streaming services. Under the current rules, streaming services with fewer than 20 million subscribers like Apple TV+ does can pay their workers lower wages.

Q: determine if list is periodic python I am curious to find out a function to check if a given list is periodic or not and return the periodic elements. lists are not loaded rather their elements are generated and added on the fly, if this note will make the algorithm easier anyhow.
For example, if the input to the function is [1,2,1,2,1,2,1,2], the output shall be (1,2).
I am looking for some tips and hints on the easier methods to achieve this.
Thanks in advance,

A: This problem can be solved with the Knuth-Morris-Pratt algorithm for string matching. Please get familiar with the way the fail-links are calculated before you proceed.
Lets consider the list as something like a sequence of values (like a String). Let the size of the list/sequence is n.
Then, you can:

*

*Find the length of the longest proper prefix of your list which is also a suffix. Let the length of the longest proper prefix suffix be len.

*If n is divisible by n - len, then the list is periodic and the period is of size len. In this case you can print the first len values.
More info:

*

*GeeksForGeeks article.

*Knuth-Morris-Pratt algorithm

A: NOTE: the original question had python and python-3.x tags, they were edited not by OP, that's why my answer is in python.
I use itertools.cycle and zip to determine if the list is k-periodic for a given k, then just iterate all possible k values (up to half the length of the list).
try this:
from itertools import cycle

def is_k_periodic(lst, k):
    if len(lst) < k // 2:  # we want the returned part to repaet at least twice... otherwise every list is periodic (1 period of its full self)
        return False

    return all(x == y for x, y in zip(lst, cycle(lst[:k])))

def is_periodic(lst):
    for k in range(1, (len(lst) // 2) + 1):
        if is_k_periodic(lst, k):
            return tuple(lst[:k])
    return None

print(is_periodic([1, 2, 1, 2, 1, 2, 1, 2]))

Output:
(1, 2)

A: Thank you all for answering my question. Neverthelss, I came up with an implementation that suits my needs.
I will share it here with you looking forward your inputs to optimize it for better performance.
The algorithm is:

*

*assume the input list is periodic.

*initialize a pattern list.

*go over the list up to its half, for each element i in this first half:

*

*add the element to the pattern list.

*check if the pattern is matched throughout the list.

*

*if it matches, declare success and return the pattern list.

*else break and start the loop again adding the next element to the pattern list.

*If a pattern list is found, check the last k elements of the list where k is len(list) - len(list) modulo the length of the pattern list, if so, return the pattern list, else declare failure.

The code in python:
def check_pattern(nums):
    p = []
    i = 0
    pattern = True
    while i < len(nums)//2:
        p.append(nums[i])
        for j in range(0, len(nums)-(len(nums) % len(p)), len(p)):
            if nums[j:j+len(p)] != p:
                pattern = False
                break
            else:
                pattern = True
        # print(nums[-(len(nums) % len(p)):], p[:(len(nums) % len(p))])
        if pattern and nums[-(len(nums) % len(p)) if (len(nums) % len(p)) > 0 else -len(p):] ==\
                p[:(len(nums) % len(p)) if (len(nums) % len(p)) > 0 else len(p)]:
            return p
        i += 1
    return 0

This algorithm might be inefficient in terms of performance but it checks the list even if the last elements did not form a complete period.
Any hints or suggestions are highly appreciated.
Thanks in advance,,,

A: Let L the list. Classic method is: use your favorite algorithm to search the second occurence of the sublist L in the list L+L. If the list is present at index k, then the period is L[:k]:
    L                     L
1 2 1 2 1 2 1 2 | 1 2 1 2 1 2 1 2
    1 2 1 2 1 2   1 2

(This is conceptually identical to @KonstantinYovkov's answer). In Python: example with strings (because Python has no builtin sublist search method):
>>> L = "12121212"
>>> k = (L+L).find(L, 1) # skip the first occurrence
>>> L[:k]
'12'

But:
>>> L = "12121"
>>> k = (L+L).find(L, 1)
>>> L[:k] # k is None => return the whole list
'12121'

Starting February 9th, the Coachella Valley will yet again become the canvas for contemporary artists around the world. The second edition of the biennial pop-up art exhibit has touched down in the Southern California desert. Desert X will feature 19 installations and performances throughout the desert from artists around the world.
The California desert has often been a source of creative inspiration with its strong mystique and different personalities.
When I was living in Palm Springs, I covered a slew of events, openings and concerts. But this was different. We were given geographical coordinates for 16 site-specific works by 16 artists in areas around Palm Desert, Indio, Palm Springs, and Rancho Mirage. Sprawled around 45 miles of the Coachella Valley, from the San Bernardino Mountains to the Salton Sea, founder Susan Davis wanted the artists to engage with the striking environment.
Curated by Artistic Director Neville Wakefield, it's timed to coincide with Coachella Music Festival, which draws tens of thousands of revelers to the desert every April.
"I'm interested in site-specificity and how this place gives rise to the work," saidthe British-born, New York-based curator to the Los Angeles Times.
Two years ago, I plotted my coordinates into Google Maps and went on the coolest treasure hunt ever. The debut of Desert X in 2017 combined some of my favorite things; art, exploration and nature. "X" literally marked the spot in this limited-run exhibition.
I had no idea what an appropriation artist was until I searched for my first exhibit in Desert Hot Springs. Known as "the Andy Warhol of Instagram," Richard Prince rephotographs, copies, scans and manipulates the work of others.
Richard Prince describes Third Place as, "The House where my family used to live and are now having a reunion." I headed to 33°57'47.2"N 116°32' 33.2"W first, because the winds were rising. The digital marketer and photography lover in me found this instillation fascinating.
Run-down and little saddle-sore the house in Desert Hot Springs might suggest a cowboy's retreat. Photo by Erin Peters.
The decaying, abandoned house with crumpled-up papers blowing across the front yard like tumbleweed, reveled the darker sub-currents of sexual and familial tension. The printed-out tweets were there to be taken. In a way, the nefarious visitors unknowingly contributed to the installation. Prince's "First Place" in Los Angeles was bulldozed and his work "Second Place," in New York was struck by lightning.
Heading west, I arrived at Whitewater Preserve, where a pigeon tower illustrated the concept of migration across space and time.
The tenuous structure was modeled after traditional pigeon towers found throughout the desert villages of Egypt. Sherin Guirguis' "One I Call," addressed concerns of cultural agency, environmental protection, and displacement at stake in the Coachella Valley and other similar desert communities around the world. The towers are typically used to breed the birds for food or sport.
The practice of homing pigeons spans multiple traditions, illustrating a narrative of migration across space and time. Photo by Erin Peters.I then headed to 33°47'38.3″N 116°23'44.0″W (otherwise known as Rancho Mirage) in the late afternoon.
The public art exhibits brought about emotions and feelings I didn't expect. Anticipation as hundreds of people gathered at dusk waiting for 290 patches of neon light to be illuminated from the ground. It was to be seen at night.
New York-based artist Travares Strachan grew up in the Bahamas and studied at the Yuri Gagarin cosmonaut training center near Moscow. His immersive land and light installation consisted of more than 400 craters creating the phrase, "I am!" The artist explained that the message is an ancient mantra from Hindu Vedic text. This space-like feeling could only happen in the expansive space of the desert.
And wouldn't you know it? I was alone.
Will Boone's installation for Desert X was a survival shelter identical to one used by JFK as president. Like the myths surrounding Elvis, Jesus or UFO's, Boone sees the figure of JFK as lightening in the ground, bunkered in the very same Altlas Survival Shelter that the then president had in case of nuclear attack. There sat a bronze statue of JFK painted in the style of a hobby kit.
As you drove up the boulder-strewn hills of Palm Springs, I came upon probably the most appropriately named exhibit. Doug Aitken built an 1,800-square-foot mirror-covered 1960s-style ranch home perched on the edge of Chino Canyon. At the time, Palm Springs Life Magazine was embarking on the Miele Chino Canyon Project, where you could tour two new architectural masterpieces by modern architect Al Beadle and Palm Springs architect Lance O'Donnell. Desert Palisades, a new subdivision in the rugged San Jacinto mountain range, was just underway and the striking house stood out like a life-size kaleidoscope.
With every available surface clad in mirror, "Mirage" pulls the landscape in and reflects it back out. Photo by Erin Peters.
Ironically, the artist based it off of the anonymous and repetitious suburban houses that surrounded American landscape. Fusing Frank Lloyd Wright's fluid treatment of spaces with ranch style one-story simplicity, the mass-produced ranch home became a familiar site in American culture. The artwork was devoid of possessions, inhabitants and a narrative.
This mind-bending exhibit blurred the lines between dwelling and environment. "Mirage" made it difficult to distinguish reflection from reality by furnishing an entire home in mirrors. Earth colors of biscuit and mushroom collided with vibrant greens and the endless expansive sky. If you were there long enough, you could see the sky transform.
Phillip K. Smith III's "Circle of Land and Sky" in Palm Desert, was off of Frank Sinatra Drive & Portola Avenue. To get to Smith's artwork, I followed a narrow wooden footpath seemingly heading into emptiness. Hundreds of reflective poles, each set at a 10-degree angle, reflecting land, sand, sky and mountains. The 165-foot circle rimmed by 10-foot tall mirrored posts were angled so that standing inside the circle, you only see sky. Outside? One only sees land.
The Circle of Land and Sky defines a reflective space within the desert. Photo by Erin Peters.
Julian Hoeber: Going Nowhere Pavilion #01 is a Möbius strip made from concrete breeze blocks in a variety of fleshy pinks and browns. Executed Variant DHS #1 (Q1, CJ, DC), the painting sited in a pool connected to the property, is a loose variant on a series of works Hoeber titled the Execution Changes. Open from sunset to sunrise.
Postcommodity: It Exists in Many Forms emerged from in-depth conversations between the artists and owners of midcentury homes in Palm Springs.
It's the perfect time to camp in the Coachella Valley and explore the mysteries of the California desert.

The Power of the Portal
By Alyx Dellamonica | June 2, 2014 - 11:52 am | June 2, 2014 My Novels
Portal fantasy isn't "in" right now, I'm told, which may mean that sexy vampires, wanton werewolves and George R.R. Martin are still the engines pumping life and lucre through the genre bookselling sections. Which is cool. Go them, I say, pump on! My students, interestingly, are being told by potential agents and editors that the hunger for dystopian YA SF is on the decline. Is it true? You tell me. What are The Youth reading instead?
True, false or otherwise, the implication is that we portal fantasists are tragically failing at literary fashion whoredom. I hate to disappoint anyone, and so hereby declare this: give me an HBO deal and I'll write something with a house of ill repute (because whorehouses seem to be a requirement for HBO series) and a high body count. Werelizards of the Mustang Ranch, here I come!
If possible, I'd like for Tom Hiddleston to play the tormented vampire pimp of the assorted paranormal service providers. Hmmm, maybe I should call it Game of Bones.
If someone wants to volunteer to make this happen, I guarantee I will finish my series before George.
"Why Portal Fantasy?" was one of the questions Paul Weimer asked when I threw out the "What should I blog about?" question. As a result, I've been thinking about Oz, Narnia, Wonderland, and also newer portals, like Charlene Challenger's The Voices in Between . I could also argue that Hogwart's and the wizarding world are pretty darned portaltastic, in their way, even if the wizard war does affect the Muggles.
Why draw our heroes from the present day and then take them to a completely other realm? What does that offer? Where's the appeal?
With portal fantasy, the characters are us. They're not charming and relatable strangers from a faraway land, or ye folke from a distant past that looks an awful lot like the European Middle Ages. They are people from the author's own here and now, usually; they're drawn from a very recognizable time and place.
Furthermore, these characters generally spring from an everyday existence that is, not to put too fine a point on it, a world of suck. The birth universe of a portal fantasy hero is rarely an endless cascade of cake and GooglePlay gift certificates. Adoni's mother is off the sauce, and Harry Potter's living under the stairs. The Narnia kids are refugees from the Blitz, which by all accounts was a singularly unenchanting period of British history, even if it does turn out there's an endless market for BBC dramatic set during and just after the event.
Magical Whorehouses of the Blitz! I could write that.
Tangents aside, crappy things are happening, and the portal fantasy protagonist is genuinely powerless to do anything about them.
You all know that feeling of being meat in a grinder, chum in a shark tank. You'd fight if there was any point. There's not. This is a situation that speaks to us all.
Portals, meanwhile, always seem to offer a fast track to the movers and shakers, both good and evil, of the shiny new world. Lucy and Dorothy tumble out of World War II and the Depression, where they run afoul of the witches White and West, respectively. Harry's barely out of the womb before he's up the Nose that Cannot be Named. And they aren't just pissing off the baddies: Aslan, Dumbledore and Glinda are right in there, mitts out, offering help, education, assistance and sometimes footwear.
The point is this: in the portal world, characters not only can have an effect on things, but are game-changers. These are stories where ordinary(ish) people are empowered to do good, destroy regimes, and topple immense stacks of wickedness. The characters start as jonobody16@trulyfrigginshafted.com and find themselves leading revolutions, slaying dragons, and taking thrones.
This is what protagonists do, of course, in any number of genres. But there's something very specifically appealing about imagining that kind of a getaway. You leave behind all the mundane and seemingly unchangeable crap of your day to day existence, your obligations and dysfunctional relationships–everything from the boss who nags you to climate change. You go exploring in a magical land filled with cool things. That land has problems too, but they're ones you can actually address. It's an empowering and very personal form of escapism.
As kids, we have few options for getting away from whatever's going on around us. For good or bad, we're largely trapped. I imprinted on The Chronicles Of Narnia and books like them at a point in my life when there was no getting away. I love these stories, and I'm writing portal fantasy because I adore creating hidden and undiscovered worlds. I look for them in closets and overgrown back alleys, in the dimmest unlit stacks of used bookstores. I find them on the page, resonating–in the case of Stormwrack–to the beat of the World Clock in Moscasipay.
I'm an adult now, and my book–though it'd be terrific fun for a teen-aged reader–isn't a kid's book. Sophie Hansa is twenty-four, and she's not particularly trapped. So what's adult portal fantasy for? Why would anyone face monsters and pirates when they have a home and an affectionate family and the beginnings of a pretty cool career? What is it about humans that we sometimes long to escape our lives even when nobody's keeping us in a broom closet under a stairwell?
There are some answers in Child of a Hidden Sea . I hope you enjoy finding them!

My review will reveal what I thought! (and yes, I did tag the whole Portal fantasy thing. But given that I asked YOU about it, you are not surprised…)
S. M. Stirling says:
Post-apocalyptic books can be considered a type of portal story — you send the whole world into another world.
And HBO did discover that people will listen to more exposition if delivered by, or in the company of, a naked hooker. 'tis a new literary technique!
Your Emberverse books qualify, in that sense.
Did you ever see Michael Scott Rohan's CHASE THE MORNING series? Portal fantasy, and very good.
Oh, I'll look into that!
Oh yes. I remember those books well, Steve. My late friend Scott introduced me to those.
A spoiler for my review, Alyx, I do mention Rohan in it. 🙂
Telling me about Rohan just increases the chances I won't get to Steve's next book soon!

Q: SQL query for joining a column with same name and value by different column value Trying to join multiple tables and multiple values in one column under one assoc array, to dynamically output to screen, but it repeats query table multiple times for example, if I have 11 entries I get 3x more 33 entries.
The target is to unite 3 tables product + product_description + product_special by product_id.
The problem is in the field named "name" in which values often are similar and are distinguished only by the next column, in which it is stated that this product name is for language 1 or 2, or 3.
I want to extract that with data from the product table model, price, etc.
My data
Table product:
| product_id | model  | price      |
| ---------- | ----- | ----------- |
| 1          | as123 | 1           |
| 2          | ab123 | 2           |
| 3          | az123 | 3           |

Table product_description:
| product_id | name  | language_id |
| ---------- | ----- | ----------- |
| 1          | apple | 1           |
| 1          | apfel | 2           |
| 1          | pomme | 3           |

Table product_special:
| product_id | price | end_date    |
| ---------- | ----- | ----------- |
| 1          | 9.99  | 2023-12-13  |
| 2          | 1.00  | 2023-12-12  |
| 3          | 99.00 | 2023-12-12  |

I tried joining, union, group and so on can't seem to understand how to unite the query so #### that results for one product be in one array not multiple.
I'm using PHP 7.4 and MySQL 5.7.39.
I'm quite new to SQL and development so please don't judge too harsh.
This is what I got so far:
    (array) [253 elements]
0:
(array) [4 elements]
product_id: (string) "9"
model: (string) "HP EliteBook 840 G5 Silver"
name: (string) "Oneplus Nord CE 5G 8GB/128GB Blue EU"
language_id: (string) "3"
1:
(array) [4 elements]
product_id: (string) "9"
model: (string) "HP EliteBook 840 G5 Silver"
name: (string) "Oneplus Nord CE 5G 8GB/128GB Blue EU"
language_id: (string) "2"
2:
(array) [4 elements]
product_id: (string) "9"
model: (string) "HP EliteBook 840 G5 Silver"
name: (string) "Motorola Moto G71 5G DS 6GB/128GB Balck EU"
language_id: (string) "3"

Note:
because of the field named "name" which repeats the query result by x name times
From running this query command:
SELECT DISTINCT
    product.product_id,
    product.model,
    product_description.name,
    product_description.language_id
FROM
    product
JOIN
    product_description ON product.product_id = product_description.product_id
                        AND product_description.language_id = 1
                         OR product_description.language_id = 2
                         OR product_description.language_id = 3
ORDER BY
    product.product_id;

The example I would like to get:
 0:
 (array) [2 elements]
 name1: (string) "HP EliteBook 840 G5 Silver"
 name2: (string) "HP EliteBook 840 G5 Silver"
 name3: (string) "HP EliteBook 840 G5 Silver"
 product_id: (string) "9"
 1:
 (array) [2 elements]
 name1: (string) "Lenovo ThinkPad P52s 20LB000HPB"
 name2: (string) "Lenovo ThinkPad P52s 20LB000HPB"
 name3: (string) "Lenovo ThinkPad P52s 20LB000HPB"
 product_id: (string) "11"

Edit: The problem for me is that results are repeated 3 times(for each language).
I want to join them and then use something like where language id is 1 is named as language1, language id = 2 as language2(I m fetching assoc array per product) and that's why under one result, not times 3.
I tried ordering by id but in the language table, the primary key is different so I get an error that I cannot order join results by id because it's unaggregated.

A: You want all 3 names?  You have to join 3 times once for each
SELECT
    p.product_id,
    p.model,
    name1.name as name1,
    name2.name as name2,
    name3.name as name3
FROM product p
LEFT JOIN product_description name1 ON p.product_id = name1.product_id AND name1.language_id = 1
LEFT JOIN product_description name2 ON p.product_id = name2.product_id AND name2.language_id = 2
LEFT JOIN product_description name3 ON p.product_id = name3.product_id AND name3.language_id = 3
ORDER BY p.product_id;

Q: Unknown validator location validator I am working on my very first rails app so please pardon me if the answer is obvious.
My userlocation model looks like this
class UserLocation < ActiveRecord::Base
 belongs_to :uid, :class_name => User, :foreign_key => "uid"
 has_one :current_location, :class_name => Location, :foreign_key =>   "city"
 has_one :destination, :class_name => Location, :foreign_key => "city"
 validates :user, presence: true
end

When I try to put something into this model I get the said error. What am I doing wrong?

A: I think the class_name option should be a string, not a class.
Try using :class_name => "User" and :class_name => "Location" in your associations.

That may not sound like a good thing to be. But according to Gladwell, a neurotic tortoise may be exactly whom we want to hire in certain jobs and professions.
Named one of the world's 100 most influential people by Time and New York Times bestselling author of David and Goliath, Outliers, Blink and The Tipping Point, Gladwell delivered a keynote address at the recent Wharton People Analytics Conference. He began by playing a clip of an interview with fellow staff writer at The New Yorker Sheelah Kolhatkar — his aforementioned neurotic tortoise — in which she talked about her experiences working as a hedge fund analyst earlier in her career.
Are traits such as being super-conscientious, even neurotic, valuable in a work environment? Gladwell contrasted Kolhatkar's self-described performance as a trader with her achievements as an investigative reporter. He talked about her book Black Edge, published this year, which profiles famed hedge fund investor Steven A. Cohen.
The type of worker that Kolhatkar is, noted Gladwell, is one who does a job as thoroughly and carefully as possible regardless of the clock ticking on the wall. But, he said, being slow and neurotic is not generally valued either by human resource departments or our educational system. They want not tortoises but hares: people who work fast.
Gladwell asserted that neurotic tortoises are "highly suited for the present workplace" in jobs that require mastering complex problems, being thorough and not making mistakes. Why then, he asked, do we design selection and evaluation systems biased against them?
As one example of "how we make life difficult for neurotic tortoises," Gladwell discussed the way modern testing is typically designed. He explained that current theories of testing draw a distinction between speed and power. A children's card game like Snap — and many video games — are speed games: The tasks or questions are fairly easy, but what's really being measured is how fast you can respond. On the other hand, games like Scrabble or traditional chess are power games. How long it takes is much less important than demonstrating brainpower and strategy.
Speed and power are separate variables, said Gladwell, and people tend to do well at either one or the other. For example, when chess is speeded up — in a version of the game called "blitz chess" — the international rankings of players get shuffled significantly.
He proposed that someone like Sheelah Kolhatkar — the "neurotic tortoise" — might achieve a higher score on a test like the LSATs compared to a "hare" if the time constraints were altered. Under current conditions, he theorized, a hare might swiftly answers all the questions on the test to the best of his ability, getting some right and some wrong. The tortoise, who might be smarter but slower, actually accumulates more right answers than the hare. But by being super-careful and afraid of making mistakes, she runs out of time and has to guess on the remaining questions. As a result, their scores add up to exactly the same number.
According to Gladwell, if they were both given more time, the hare's score would remain the same. The hare has already "hit his ceiling" of knowledge, having attempted all the questions. But the tortoise might correctly answer an even larger portion of the questions.
"When you add speed to a power test, you are not improving the accuracy of the test. You're changing what you're measuring," said Gladwell. He added that it obscures our understanding of those who excel under pure power conditions.
Joining Gladwell on stage for part of his talk was Adam Grant, Wharton professor of management and psychology and author of the New York Times bestsellers Originals and Give and Take. Grant, who is also co-director of Wharton People Analytics, challenged Gladwell on some of his assertions.
"It seems like for most complex jobs, [speed and power] are not quite as independent," he said. While he acknowledged that "the fastest sprinter is never going to be the best marathoner, and vice versa," he argued that the more expert someone is at a job, the more their fast, intuitive thinking will actually be accurate and allow them to perform quickly. "Shouldn't we just assume, most of the time, that the experts are going to be faster?" he asked.
He cited a principle from Gladwell's own book Outliers: the "ten thousand hours" rule, which suggests that one can achieve mastery in a field after about 10,000 hours of practice.
Gladwell exhorted human resource executives to think deeply about what type of personality they should be looking for in particular jobs or professions. "Analytics are of no value if you don't have a conversation beforehand about why you want to use a particular analytic," he said.

Q: Elastic search count query I am trying to find occurences of a specific pattern within a given period of time.
I don't get the count for that pattern with Query 1 which has time parameter, but works with Query 2.
Can you please if there is any issue with Query 1.
Query 1:
GET/_count?pretty{
  "query": {
    "bool": {
      "must": {
        "query_string": {
          "query": "Stopping PSB: start the yum-updateonboot deamon..."
        }
      },
      "filter": {
        "range": {
          "@timestamp": {
            "gt": "now-1d"
          }
        }
      }
    }
  }
}'  Result: {   **"count" : 0,**   "_shards" : {     "total" : 2287,     "successful" : 2287,     "skipped" : 0,     "failed" : 0   }

Query 2:
GET/_count?pretty{
  "query": {
    "bool": {
      "must": {
        "query_string": {
          "query": "Stopping PSB: start the yum-updateonboot deamon..."
        }
      }
    }

  "_shards": {
    "total": 2287,
    "successful": 2287,
    "skipped": 0,
    "failed": 0
  }

A: The date math with days is somewhat confusing.
Use either hours:
{
  "range":{
    "@timestamp":{
      "gt":"now-24h"
    }
  }
}

or gte instead of gt:
{
  "range":{
    "@timestamp":{
      "gte":"now-1d"
    }
  }
}

Update
Use timestamp instead of @timestamp
{
  "query": {
    "bool": {
      "must": {
        "query_string": {
          "query": "Stopping PSB: start the yum-updateonboot deamon..."
        }
      },
      "filter": {
        "range": {
          "timestamp": {
            "gt": "now-1d"
          }
        }
      }
    }
  }
}

due to this and this.


First off, if you use iOS and don't have an Echo, use Kitchen Sync for your shopping list. It organizes everything by shopping aisle and works with iCloud so it's super easy to share a list with your family. Plus Adam is a good guy.
We use Wunderlist for our shopping list, so I set up an IFTTT recipe to put our Echo's shopping list into Wunderlist.
Go to Mail to Wunderlist Settings and set your Gmail address to go to your shopping list.
Some caveats: IFTTT checks the shopping list roughly every 15 minutes, so if something is time sensitive you're better off using the Wunderlist app. It also doesn't update the Alexa shopping list when you check it off in Wunderlist, but who looks at the Alexa shopping list anyway?

Le HNLMS K II ou Zr.Ms. K II est un sous-marin, seul navire de la classe K II qui porte le nom de ce navire, et mis en service dans la Koninklijke Marine (Marine royale néerlandaise).

Histoire
Le K II a été commandé par le ministère néerlandais des Colonies en 1915  pour servir de patrouilleur aux colonies néerlandaises.

La quille du sous-marin a été posé à Rotterdam au chantier naval de Fijenoord le 20 novembre 1915. Le lancement a eu lieu le 27 février 1919. Le 28 mars 1922, le K II est mis en service dans la marine néerlandaise.

Le 18 septembre 1923, le K II, le , le  et le tender (ravitailleur) de sous-marin  commencent leur voyage vers les Indes néerlandaises, théâtre d'opérations des navires. À bord du K II se trouve le professeur Felix Andries Vening Meinesz qui effectue des mesures de gravité. Il a quitté le navire à Colombo. Les navires ont été retardés lorsque le Pelikaan s'est échoué à Tunis.

Le 11 décembre 1923, les navires sont arrivés à Sabang où ils sont restés jusqu'au 7 décembre. Le 7 décembre, ils mirent le cap sur Tanjung Priok où ils arrivèrent le 24 décembre 1923.

Le bateau a été désarmé en août 1937.

Mustafa, Ariane Roy Win Slaight Music's 2021 Emerging Songwriter Award
Story by Canadian Songwriters Hall of Fame / Panthéon des auteurs et compositeurs canadiens | September 2, 2021
Polaris Music Prize nominee Mustafa and alt pop sensation Ariane Roy have both earned the 2021 Slaight Music Emerging Songwriter Award, presented by the Canadian Songwriters Hall of Fame.
Established in 2017, the Award celebrates the current achievements and bright futures of Canadian songwriters in their early careers. One Anglophone and one Francophone winner are determined by a music industry jury. In addition to receiving a cash prize and access to songwriting camps, the winners will attend the SOCAN Awards in Toronto in the spring of 2022.
"Songwriting and composing are the lifeblood of the Canadian music industry; therefore, it's vital that we support, foster, and inspire the next generation of creators – and more importantly, shine a spotlight on the depth and diversity of talented songwriters within our communities," said Nicholas Fedor, Director, Canadian Songwriters Hall of Fame. "Congratulations to Mustafa and Ariane Roy; we're so excited to be a part of your music trajectory and continued success (as well as more great music) to come. Thank you to Slaight Music, and to all the fans who voted online to show their support for this year's finalists."
Toronto-based poet and recording artist Mustafa released his debut album When Smoke Rises in May of 2021, and it was short-listed for the 2021 Polaris Music Prize. After losing several friends to gun violence, he coped with the losses through his interpretation of folk music. He's produced a documentary titled Remember Me, Toronto about hip-hop culture in Canada, and has co-written songs for The Weeknd, Shawn Mendes, Justin Bieber and the Jonas Brothers. Mustafa has been listed as an Artist to Watch in 2021 by i-D, British Vogue, and Complex magazines, among others.
"I am humbled that my attempt at seeing the hood; a world within a world in this country, can be celebrated," said Mustafa. "I want kids in poor neighbourhoods across this country to re-tell the stories of their intersections, so their accounts can be marked in time. Hopefully, moments like this can continue to encourage them."
The Québec City-based Ariane Roy was nominated in the pop EP category of the GAMIQ (Gala de l'alternative musicale indépendante de Québec) Awards for her 2020 debut release AVALANCHE, and one of her songs, "Ta main," reached the finals of the Prix de la chanson SOCAN in 2021.
"I'm so happy to receive this honour, and to be in the company of artists I admire, and who inspire me so much," said Roy.
Past winners of the Slaight Music Emerging Songwriter Award include Lowell (Anglophone), Les Louanges (Francophone), Jessie Reyez (Anglophone) and Charlotte Cardin (Francophone).

Shreez surprised with 2021 SOCAN Gala Award at special presentation during FME Festival
Story by Howard Druckman | September 7, 2021
Nearly 100 SOCAN Awards in 23 categories will be presented to Québec's most successful songwriters, composers, and music publishers for their tremendous accomplishments in 2020, as part of the celebration of winners at the 32nd SOCAN Gala, set to be held online on Oct. 5, 2021.
To kick off the awards, SOCAN travelled to the Festival de musique émergente (FME) in Abitibi Témiscamingue to present a surprise first trophy to Shreez in the Hip-Hop/Rap Music category, during his performance, in front of an enthusiastic crowd.
"It is the greatest pleasure to be the recipient of this SOCAN award. I and my team are proud and grateful to see that all of the work we have done in this campaign is paying off," said Shreez.
For SOCAN Chief Membership Officer Jean-Christian Céré, the presentation of the SOCAN Award to Shreez at FME was the perfect first presentation. "Shreez had an outstanding year in 2020, even through the pandemic," said Céré. "And the FME is a proud SOCAN-licensed business, always understanding the importance of fair compensation for, and promotion of, music creators and publishers. This surprise award ceremony launches our annual celebration honouring the incredible talent and creativity of Québec's songwriters, composers, and music publishers, who've managed to amaze us despite the hurdles they've faced. October 5th will be a day to shine a thousand lights on them."
The SOCAN Gala for Francophone music creators and publishers is being held online for the second year, beginning on Oct. 5, 2021, during which a host of award winners, video interviews, thank-you videos, trophy unboxings, and a musical performance will be presented throughout the week via a dedicated SOCAN 2021 Gala website, and on SOCAN's social networks @socanmusique.
Montréal's SOCAN Awards Gala is the Francophone equivalent of the annual SOCAN Awards show in Toronto which celebrates the Anglophone songwriters, composers, and music publishers.
