Conceptualized at a time of rampant increase in anti-immigrant violence, Immigrants Wake America is a creative response to the growing bias and violence against immigrant women in the U.S., as seen in the Atlanta shootings, the rise in hate crimes since the onset of Covid-19, and the US-Mexico border crisis. We believe that storytelling allows us to find similarities and differences between ourselves and others, offering a humanizing counterpart to harmful media narratives. The podcast creates a living archive of stories not yet heard, serving as an audio intervention into how immigrant women's (hi)stories are narrated and passed on.

Immigrants Wake America is a public humanities, community-engaged project of digital storytelling through podcasts, in partnership with the Tenement Museum in New York. It features storytellers who share their family stories about migration and the centrality of women in their life histories. These storytellers have submitted stories to the Tenement Museum's digital archive Your Story, Our Story (YSOS),
Founded in 1988, the Tenement Museum, focuses on immigration and immigrants to "foster a society that embraces and values the role of immigration in the evolving American identity." YSOS cofounded by Annie Polland and Kathryn Lloyd, is a digital archive that houses stories associated with immigration, migration, and cultural identity. Some of the storytellers are first generation immigrants, while others are descendants of immigrants, born and raised in the US; their great-grandparents or grandparents migrated to the US ages ago. Through YSOS, the Tenement Museum invites people across the country to share their stories in the online digital storytelling exhibit. Each story reveals one individual's experience. Together, the stories help us see how the unique histories shape the nation, and the patterns that bind us together.

Through exploring and curating stories from Your Story Our Story, we facilitate conversations that supplement and expand it. This makes possible the conception of an archive that is both dynamic and collaborative. Such an archive resists the colonization and appropriation of lives and narratives of our storytellers. We navigate through the ethical conundrums that one might structurally and personally face in this collaborative endeavor. In our engagement with the archives at the Tenement Museum, we believe that our podcasting project really opens up the possibilities for an expansion of the archive.
We released our first episode, the Introductory Episode on January 15th, 2022, and have since been consistently releasing one episode per month.
While our podcast does not claim to retrieve or lay out these microhistories in their entirety, at an early stage of its development, we came to realize the potential that the form of the podcast itself offers for a different kind of storytelling. In our podcast, we treat stories as primary documents instead of marginalia. Michelle Caswell (2014) uses the term "symbolic annihilation" to describe the absence or misrepresentation of marginalized communities in archives. She advocates the powerful forces of community archives in countering "symbolic annihilation." In thinking about archives in The Archaeology of Knowledge, Michel Foucault is concerned with "the density of discursive practices" wherein he observes "systems that establish statements as events and things (145)" This system of statements (as events or things) is what contributes to the law of what can be said. Processes of digital communal archiving such as those done by South Asian American Digital Archive (SAADA) or the Tenement Museum attempt to extend or expand the systematic possibility of events and things. Caswell and her colleagues have demonstrated the importance and success of the SAADA project. They have also pointed to the impossibility of representation in a traditional archive which is built on violence committed on colonized and enslaved bodies, also eloquently pointed out by Saidiya Hartman's scholarship.
Through our experience we've learnt that podcasts can serve as a transgressive-dynamic expansion of digital archiving, given their unique ability to cut across racial and gendered lines of preconceived sonic notions and their potential to expand the current techniques and media of digital archiving. We map this formal potential of the podcast in the way it intersects with digital archiving in the following ways:
First, narratorial voice.
We wanted our project to act as an intervention in the way in which immigrant women's (hi)stories are consumed and passed on. We wanted to provide counter narratives. It was essential that the storytellers share their stories in their own voices, literally! The audio medium allows us to produce a space for listening to voices that are otherwise marginalized and/or demonized.
–Le Li and Shruti Jain
Among the several unique and inspiring stories of resilience that the Tenement Museum houses, one such is a story by an immigrant case manager at the American Civic Association in Binghamton, Goretti Mugambwa. The museum and our podcast make it possible for her story to be narrated by herself in her voice. With her experience of working with the refugee and immigrant community she also does not just remain an individual voice, but acts to further a collective assertion.
Next, sonic variations.
Our storytellers' voices are not just "characteristics" of the story but are an essential part of the story itself. We believe that each immigrant and their descendent brings to the story their unique tonal texture. This diversity destabilizes what immigrants and their descendants are expected to sound like. The sounds we add in the editing process are minimal. We try not to impose emotional cues and responses upon our listeners.
–Shruti Jain and Le Li
The multiplicity of voices in our podcast–and therefore in the archive–are not just "characteristics" of the aural storytelling or listening process, but are as much an essential part of the story itself. In line with what The Sonic Color Line reminds us, our work also finds that, "sound frequently appears to be visuality's doppelgänger in U.S. racial history" (Stoever 4). This leads to the coding of race as not just visual but aural too. We want to clarify that the white constructed ideas of how people of color must sound flatten out the complexities in how people within and across communities do sound. At the same time, these notions of white sonic normativity also create a strong sense of what one must or must not sound like in order to succeed in the racial capitalist world order. The storytellers of our podcast and we ourselves are of diverse backgrounds. This, for us, is a way to demonstrate the "complex range of sounds actually produced by people of color" (Stoever 43). As Nancy Morales argues in "Óyeme Voz: U.S. Latin@ & Immigrant Communities Re-Sound Citizenship and Belonging," the sound of 'everyday voices' mobilized against—and remarking on—the nation-state's attempts to mark immigrant communities as vulnerable exerts an impactful and profoundly material agency." With its conversational and collaborative format, our podcast serves as a dynamic medium to represent (his)stories that complicate generic conventions in critical ways.
Then, collaboration.
We have also been personally deeply impacted by the process of working on this podcast. We have made lasting bonds with our colleagues and storytellers alike. The storytellers of our podcast act not just as guests, but as collaborators and stakeholders. Instead of interpreting the stories in our own way and retelling the stories, we collaborate with the storytellers, and facilitate the unfolding of hidden stories by the storytellers. Dr. Lisa Yun, Professor of English at Binghamton University, and Kathryn Lloyd, Senior Director of Programs, Tenement Museum, have been advisors and the executive producers of the podcast. Together with Lloyd and Yun, we built a project on the ethos of collaboration.
The editing process of IWA too, is different. Rather than making individual editorial decisions, we engage the storytellers directly in post-production. After finishing a first edit of an episode collaboratively between ourselves, we then send it to the storytellers for their feedback and approval before releasing it. Sometimes, the storytellers do suggest changes. Based on their feedback, we re-edit the episode and eventually release it after the storytellers approval. We have also innovated methods of community editing, where we edit in groups of as large as 15 people.
Finally, accessibility.
The podcast medium makes Immigrants Wake America an ideal project for the public humanities. As opposed to lengthier podcasts, each episode of our podcast is edited down to 15-20 minutes. These can be used by educators as an in-class resource to generate discussion and activities. Community listeners could tune in during lunch breaks, get-togethers, cooking, driving or doing chores. Our episodes can also serve as conversation starters and help facilitate affective bonds among immigrants and non-immigrants alike.
The final episode of our first season, "Finding Our Grandmother in the Records," aired just last week, and a second season is in the works.
As a way to expand this project, our second season will feature storytellers from our local community in addition to Your Story, Our Story. We plan to have units within our project dedicated to translation, recording and editing, and creating teaching resources. We aim for meaningful and engaged conversations and try to blur the supposed boundaries between the university and the community. Join us!
The first season of Immigrants Wake America was sponsored through the Institute for Advanced Studies in the Humanities at Binghamton University and a Public Humanities Grant from Humanities New York. Dr. Lisa Yun, Professor of English at Binghamton University, and Kathryn Lloyd, Senior Director of Programs, Tenement Museum, have been our advisors and the executive producers of the podcast. IWA is available on major streaming platforms such as Spotify, Google Podcasts, Apple Podcasts, Amazon Music, Soundcloud, and Audible.
Le Li and Shruti Jain are pursuing their PhDs at Binghamton University in the Translation Research and Instruction Program and the English Department respectively. They were Humanities New York Public Humanities fellows (2021-22) and graduate fellows of the Institute for Advanced Studies in the Humanities (IASH) at Binghamton University (2021-22). Through their podcast project and their work with digital community archives, Le and Shruti are currently working on exploring intersection between podcasts and digital archiving. They try to capitalize on the unique ability that the form of the podcast offers to cut across racial and gendered lines of preconceived sonic notions, which makes possible the conception of an archive that can be both dynamic and collaborative. Le's research interests include translation studies, cultural studies, diaspora studies, and public humanities. Shruti's PhD focuses on the Enlightenment, British Empire and the relationalities between race and caste formations.

On May 5, 2018, the C-ville Weekly, a newspaper based out of Charlottesville, Virginia, published an article titled "Sex, drugs and rock 'n' roll: new apartment complex promises at least one of those." The headline referred to the complex being built at 600 West Main St. in Charlottesville. The complex has since been completed and studio bedrooms currently cost more than $1000 a month. As the C-ville Weekly headline shows, the developers were using the term and connotations of "rock 'n' roll" to sell exclusive – and in many ways unaffordable – housing.
After reading this headline, I began to develop an idea for a summer course at my institution, the University of Virginia (UVA). I ultimately titled that course "Black Music and Corporate America" which I offered online during the summer of 2021 (syllabus available for download via the link above). Although the course discussed varied content – from the multi-ethnic, multi-racial, and multi-gendered histories of rock and roll to the endorsement of conspicuous forms of consumption in hip hop – I wanted to spend one unit focusing on the interrelationship between music, corporate America, and gentrification. I strove to solidify this connection by assigning two related articles. The first article, by geographer and sociologist Brandi Thomson Summers, argues that black residents in Washington D.C. adopt go-go music as a form of reclamation aesthetics to combat their city's increasingly rampant gentrification. In the second article, ethnomusicologist Allie Martin conducts a soundwalk of D.C.'s Shaw District to forefront the experience of a black woman in the city and help displace white hearing as the default standard of interpreting sound (see Sounding Out!'s Soundwalking While POC series from Fall 2019). These two articles served as a foundation for one of the assignments the students had to complete in class: conducting a soundwalk of their own in which they had to walk around a field site of their choosing and think critically about the sounds they were hearing.
Throughout the summer sessions, students completed three main assignments related to the course topic. They had to think about marketing themselves and thus wrote a cover letter for a job or internship they were interested in pursuing in the future. We also, as a class, sent a suggestion to literary scholar John Patrick Leary, who has created a list of "keywords of capitalism:" buzzwords that get adopted in corporate lingo; we suggested "rockstar" as a term and offered him a brief explanation why:

Students also had to conduct a soundwalk. I asked them to model it after Martin's and to also take into consideration Summers' arguments about gentrification, white policing of black sound, and a community's response to attempts to silence their music and culture.

The soundwalks I received merit sharing with readers of Sounding Out for three primary reasons: 1) The assignment benefited from the online format, especially since students could conduct soundwalks in Charlottesville as well as in their homes across the country. 2) the students made compelling arguments that deserve recognition. 2) the students brought up issues that teachers interested in assigning soundwalks in the future might want to preemptively address.
Students who walked around Charlottesville focused mostly on The Corner, the portion of the city where most of UVA's student body eats, shops, and drinks. As one student noted, during the regular semester, hundreds of students populating The Corner on any given day during the semester can silence out – literally – the concerns of the homeless and the panhandlers who make the area their home. However, over the summer, Charlottesville's Corner becomes significantly less populated and, as this student noted, much more silent. As a result of this silence, pedestrians might be much more attuned to Charlottesville's rampant inequality. This student, over the course of their summer soundwalk on The Corner, came to a radical conclusion: while communities might need moratoriums on evictions, or moratoriums on construction, maybe Charlottesville needs a moratorium on student noise as well.

In addition to focusing on inequality, many students' soundwalks pointed out discrepancies between what they saw and what they heard while on their soundwalks. Another student writing about The Corner noted how, as a transfer student, the music that they heard emanating from a barbershop helped make them feel at home in Charlottesville. Businesses on The Corner have historically not been entirely welcoming to people of color. Additionally, most pedestrians and patrons of The Corner are white. However, this student remarked how comfortable they felt on The Corner because they could hear one of their favorite artists, Moneybagg Yo, playing from the sound system of the barbershop they were going to visit. Long before they could visually see the business, the soundscape let this student know they were welcome. In this way, this barbershop helped create a sense of community in a similar way that the broadcasting of go-go music from Shaw's many businesses helps create in Washington D.C.

Another student focused specifically on the contradictions between the activism they "saw" demonstrated in their upper-class Boston suburb and the activism they "heard" while walking around their neighborhood. This student noted that residents of their neighborhood strove to create an inclusive atmosphere by putting up "Black Lives Matters" and "Immigrants Welcome" yard signs. However, they also cited Jennifer Lynn Stoever's work – who we read in class – and noted the presence of what Stoever calls the "sonic color line." As this students' own field recordings of their neighborhood illuminated, most residents of this neighborhood valued silence. Harlemites during the 1940s and 1950s, as Stoever writes, certainly appreciated restful nights, but her scholarship also demonstrates how dominant narratives constructed black communities as "noisy," "chaotic," and "dangerous," and white ones as "silent," "efficient," and "disciplined." Although residents in this Boston suburb think of themselves as progressive and demonstrate their liberalism through visual signifiers such as yard signs, this student concluded that they still live in a community that privileges certain (silent) soundscapes. In doing so, such communities continue to perpetuate the sonic color line.

Admittedly, several students living in America's suburbs struggled to conceive of the sounds they heard as worthy of discussion. For instance, the sounds of cars made frequent appearances in their writing but were often dismissed as inconsequential. Instead, students lamented that they were not experiencing a vibrant public sphere that resembled the setting of Spike Lee's 1989 film, Do the Right Thing (a film we watched together in class), as if that representation wasn't a very particular historicized and localized representation. On an individual basis, I tried to get students to think more critically about the sounds of cars in their neighborhood. We read about the role of automobile in the development of G-Funk during the early 1990s as well as the death of Jordan Davis, who was murdered in his car for playing rap too loudly. However, neither article resonated with students' experience on their soundwalks since they were simply hearing cars passing by their houses or driving down the street. Most of the time, they could not tell what type of music was being listened to at all inside the car nor could they hear it emanate onto the street.

Therefore, teachers, depending on the living conditions of their students, might want to preemptively include discussions of car culture within American society. After all, more than go-go music broadcasted from storefronts, or second line parades, or music playing from boomboxes, or the noise of nature, (my) students typically hear cars in their day-to-day life. As a result, teachers assigning soundwalks may want to talk about the role of highway construction and the automobile industry on suburbanization and white flight. Discussions of automobiles within the context of environmental racism might also be useful for students to consider. Steph Ceraso's Sounding Composition also discusses the immense time and energy corporations have devoted to car sounds and soundscapes within cars, buffering occupants from car noise as well as that of the neighborhoods outside.

In addition, I found that students need a more robust historical understanding of suburbanization in the United States, particularly alongside an understanding of their own racial and ethnic histories. Some students living African American suburbs could have benefited from some contextualization about when and how they came to be. Talking about suburbanization in general, the development of White suburban liberalism in the 1970s and 1980s would have helped the student living in a Boston suburb make more sense of the politics of their neighborhood. Karen Tongson's Relocations also provides context for shifts in America's suburban landscape after sweeping changes in immigration law in 1965, as well as a rethinking of expressions of sexuality in the suburbs. These are just some topics I wish I had focused on more to help prepare my students for their soundwalks.
Future teachers may feel inclined to refer to the conclusions my students came to, as well as the literature I wish I had included in course, as they think about assigning soundwalks in their own classes. Both my students and I appreciated the soundwalk assignment and its invitations to listen differently. Teaching soundwalks in a course focusing on "Black music and marketing strategy" prompted my own necessary meditation as a non-Black scholar working in this field. Guided by Loren Kajikawa's new research on "Music, Hip Hop and the Challenge of Significant Difference" that examines how the popularity of courses on black music help subsidize a university's classical music offerings, I want to incorporate future discussions of Black music as sonic diversity marketing in contemporary higher ed, both at the microlevel of scholarship and the macro- institutional level, which remains far from equitable despite ongoing challenges to its status quo. For students, the soundwalks–in their words–allowed them to learn about themselves and think differently about the area in which they live. They also become more attuned to their surroundings–questioning what makes a neighborhood and for whom?–and how different cultures use their voices where they live, necessary skills for our moment that will help us envision a world beyond it.

End to end tests are test run by a software program simulating click and human behaviour to see if the behaviour of you application is correct. Writing those kind of test is time consuming.
Integration tests are test run to see if you application integrated with other system works as expected. For example you want to see if you application consuming an API works correctly. Everything should work together in harmony.
Every module, function or object should in an isolated world work as expected. Those kind of test are easy to write and should run instantaneously.
When your code is compiled of verified statically. You can catch typo and type errors as you write code.
What kind of test should I choose?
Every tests are here to catch errors before sending your application in production. Tests are also a good way to give you confidence in your code to encourage refactoring.
Try to write tests for each category of the pyramid. The more you climb the pyramid, the more tests are long and expensive to write. Perform tests that are easy to write and easy to maintain. But do not forget a couple of end to end or integration tests and even some manual tests.
Ok so we should introduce some static analysis testing in your application.
greetingUser take only one parameter and we call greetingUser with the wrong number of parameters.
//greetings.ts:11:1 - error TS2554: Expected 1 arguments, but got 2.
This help you to detect some error during the compilation. But If you use an IDE like vscode you can see greetingUser is underline in red. You to detect some error during the writing phase!
Another kind of test I'm really fan of are the unit/functional tests. Because I'm doing TDD (Test Driven Development), I write a lot of unit or functional tests.
My tests are automated and run as fast as possible. The faster my tests are, the more often I run them.
To ensure my code is doing what it should, I install a testing framework and I create a test file with some assertion.
I used different testing framework but I recommend to use Jest because of his simplicity when you begin, and complexity when you want to write complex test.
// Ran all test suites.
Those tests are run in node. Even with a lot of tests, these tests are fast.
Sometimes you want to ensure some global object are used correctly. Jest ships with jsdom which simulates a DOM environment. That mean you can test functions using global DOM objects like window or localStorage.
After living with this problem for a while we discovered that Node tests cover our internal logic really well, and browser tests, even if we had them, don't give us enough confidence. Many browser issues and regressions that we have had are unobservable from the code, and need actual human interaction. They are also very tedious to write and understand.
Tests should be easy to write and understand and give you confidence in your code.
Keep in mind that certain features are missing in DOM fixtures like the web crypto API. So if you really want to test some function, you will need to write some tests with Mocha and Karma (example lesspass-entropy). If you are interested in this topic, tell me I will write another blog post about it.

When ISUZU wanted to launch their new mid-sized class 6 truck in San Antonio, Texas, they really went all out. Over the course of three days, they had almost 1000 dealer attendees from all over the US and Canada. The event allowed for close inspection and driving of the trucks, which were present on site with various back-end configurations. A huge 'cowboy hats for all' party and gala brought everyone together for networking and entertainment and certainly set the spirits high.
The opening event was a 100-foot wide keynote presentation with a projection mapped experience involving the cab of the ISUZU FTR truck itself. Go2 created the projection mapping experience and provided a fully branded, screen-wide animation package that allowed the entire keynote presentation to flow seamlessly.
We've produced so many shows of this nature that we have designed a complete package to include a projection mapped element, show opener/closer, graphics for all print and banner needs and a whole range of supporting brand animations throughout the days/evenings presentation, for any size and combination of screens.
Attendees of the ISUZU FTR launch event were blown away by the projection mapped presentation, audio production and the entire event as a whole. An extremely memorable event for sure. Contact Go2 to chat with one of our event producers to find out how we can make your next event more memorable.

Thirty Seconds to Mars (sau 30 Seconds to Mars, având prescurtarea 30STM) este o formație americană de rock din Los Angeles, California, condusă de actorul Jared Leto, el fiind vocalistul formației, chitarist și compozitor.

Istorie

Formație
Formată în 1998 de Jared Leto și fratele său Shannon, Thirty Seconds to Mars părea un mic proiect de familie. Lucrurile s-au pus repede în mișcare. Trupa l-a contactat pe Bob Ezrin, pe care îl admira pentru lucrul împreună cu Pink Floyd, Kiss și Alice Cooper și au început înregistrările la albumul de debut. Chiar înainte de lansarea albumului se dăduse vestea că 30 Seconds to Mars are un "sound" plin de adrenalină, îmbinat cu chitare puternice, sintetizatoare și partituri surprinzătoare de voce, încât Puddle of Mud i-a invitat să cânte în deschiderea concertelor lor în primăvara lui 2002, deși erau niște necunoscuți și nimeni nu le ascultase muzica la radio. Deși Jared este un cunoscut actor din Hollywood, Thirty Seconds to Mars nu se folosește de faima acestuia pentru promovarea trupei.

30 Seconds to Mars (2002)
Apărut în august 2002, albumul de debut "30 Seconds to Mars" a adus un suflu proaspăt în curentul muzical. Piesele au multe fațete și jonglează conceptual cu teme precum explorarea, descoperirea, dar și evadarea. Albumul s-a vândut în puțin peste 100.000 de exemplare.

A Beautiful Lie (2005)
Al doilea album este A Beautiful Lie, care a fost lansat in data de 30 august 2005. Ca sa promoveze albumul, formația de asemenea a inclus "golden tickets" in 12 copii, care garantau accesul la orice concert Thirty Seconds to Mars, plus accesul in cabină.

Cel de-al doilea album, "A beautiful lie", este scris mai degrabă într-o notă personală, pe un ton confesional. "Pe primul album am creat o lume, apoi ne-am ascuns în spatele ei", mărturisește Jared Leto. "Cu acest album am decis să fim mai mult personali și mai puțin cerebrali. Deși avem în continuare elemente conceptuale și idei tematice, albumul se adresează mai mult sufletului decât minții. El vorbește despre onestitatea brutală, despre maturizare, despre schimbare; este o călătorie emoțională, o poveste despre viață, iubire, moarte, durere, fericire și pasiune. Adică ceea ce ne face umani."
Pe lângă faptul că este mult mai direct, "A beautiful lie" a punctat de asemenea și o transformare muzicală. Părțile progresive, cu suprapuneri de pasaje, au fost înlocuite de construcții mai curate și mai accesibile. "Am muncit mult la primul album pentru a crea ceva foarte special, atât din punct de vedere sonor, cât și conceptual. Dar pentru a merge înainte trebuie să lași în urmă unele lucruri. Nu am intenționat să facem același album de două ori." Pentru acest album au fost înregistrate 40 de piese. Procesul de eliminare a fost dureros și extenuant. În timp, toate hiturile actuale fuseseră la un moment dat scoase de pe lista finală.
De la început până la sfârșit albumul narează o poveste plină de durere, frustrare, ambiție și purificare. A beautiful lie este coloana sonoră a unei vieți zbuciumate și o mărturie a rezistenței spiritului omenesc. "Mi-au plăcut întotdeauna trupele care au reușit să exprime diferite emoții și să creeze imagini vii cu ajutorul sunetelor, cum ar fi U2, The Cure, Led Zeppelin, Pink Floyd. Dar ne interesează de asemenea să fim cât mai moderni. Vrem să facem ceva diferit, să ne uităm mai degrabă înainte decât înapoi și să ieșim din umbra acelora care ne-au inspirat, făcându-ne auzite propriile noastre voci." – Jared Leto.

Primul single, "Attack", este o expresie dinamică a renașterii și reînnoirii; piesa e construită pe o partitură vioaie de clape, având rifuri dure de chitară și o voce guturală care variază în tonalitate de la un țipăt de durere la șoapte.

"The Kill", cel de-al doilea single, este mult mai meditativ, cu o linie melodică amintind puțin de U2 și The Cure. "The Kill" a rămas în topul Billboard Modern Rock Track timp de 50 de săptămâni, fiind cea mai longevivă piesă din istoria acestui top – poziția maximă atinsă: locul 3. Clipul a fost regizat de Bartholomew Cubbing (Jared Leto) și are ceva din "The Shining".
Pe 31 august 2006, formația a câstigat  MTV2 Award pentru "The Kill" la  MTV Video Music Awards, una dintre cele doua nominalizari. A doua nominalizare a fost pentru Best Rock Video; cu toate acestea, ei au pierdut in fata rockerilor AFI's "Miss Murder".

Pe 29 aprilie 2007, formatia a avut o performanță live la MTV Australia Video Music Awards, unde ei au mai fost nominalizați la alte trei categorii, câstigând "Best Rock Video" si "Video of the Year" pentru "The Kill".

In octombrie, formația a inceput turul "Welcome to the Universe", sponsorizat de  MTV2. Ei au fost ajutați in acest tur de Head Automatica, The Receiving End of Sirens, Cobra Starship si alte cateva formații printre care găsindu-se Street Drum Corps.
Ei au mai fost chemați să cante la concerte precum: Roskilde, Rock am Ring, Pinkpop, Give It A Name Festival si Download. Dupa toate acestea, ei au inceput sa lucreze la al treilea album.

This Is War (2009)

Logo
Logoul formației (pe care formația îl numeste "Mithra") urmat de fraza "Provehito in Altum", acesta fiind motto-ul formației. Traducând din latină, acesta însemnând "Launch forth into the deep" (Mereu inainte spre necunoscut). Logoul a fost folosit prima oară pentru promovarea formației la debut. Logoul albumului A Beautiful Lie este format din trei scheleți, impreuna cu numele formației și motto-ul.

The Echelon
The Echelon este o publicitate a formatiei Thirty Seconds to Mars care ajuta in aducerea prietenilor la concerte, telefonând stațiilor radio sa transmită melodiile formației, sa se puna postere, făcându-se reviste sau situri dedicate formației. "The Echelon" este de asemenea și o melodie de pe primul album 30 Seconds to Mars.

On May 11, 2009, five United States military personnel were fatally shot at a military counseling clinic at Camp Liberty, Iraq by Army Sergeant John M. Russell. In the days before the killings, witnesses stated Russell had become distant and was having suicidal thoughts.

Russell was charged with five counts of murder and one count of aggravated assault. Officials stated there was an argument at the Camp Liberty Combat Stress Center and Russell was being escorted back to his unit at Camp Stryker when he took an unsecured M16 rifle from his escort, drove back to the clinic, and opened fire on unarmed personnel.

Background

Sergeant John M. Russell (born 1965) was serving his third tour of duty in Iraq as a communications NCO with the 54th Engineer Battalion.  According to a fellow NCO, Russell was a quiet soldier who seemed to have trouble with new computer systems and learning how to make repairs. Russell was "very good" with traditional radio devices, but a lack of new skills degraded his performance and relationship with peers. Over time, the NCO said Russell became increasingly distant and visibly disturbed. He had been previously diagnosed with depression and dyslexia. In the days before the killings, witnesses said Russell became distant and started having suicidal thoughts.

Russell had been to the Camp Liberty Combat Stress Clinic on three prior occasions. On May 11, 2009, Russell went to the clinic for a fourth time for a noon appointment.

Killings
Officials stated that at Russell's noon appointment at the clinic, there was a heated argument between Russell and clinic personnel. Russell was being escorted back to his unit at Camp Stryker when he took an unsecured M16 rifle from his escort and drove back to the clinic. At 1:41 PM local time, Military Police at Camp Liberty received a report that shots had been fired at the Camp Liberty clinic. Witnesses at the scene saw Russell using an M16A2 rifle. Five U.S. military personnel were killed: U.S. Army Specialist Jacob D. Barton, Sergeant Christian E. Bueno-Galdos, Major Matthew P. Houseal, Private First Class Michael E. Yates, and U.S. Navy Commander Charles K. Springle.

Court martial proceedings
Russell was charged with five counts of murder and one count of aggravated assault. On May 15, 2012, prosecutors decided to seek the death penalty, overruling a pre-trial hearing recommendation that Russell's mental "disease or defect" made capital punishment inappropriate. Lead defense attorney James Culp stated he would pursue an insanity defense, alleging treatment Russell received just prior to the killings was "mental health mistreatment" and "a significant causal factor" in the massacre.

Mental health claims
Under already contentious circumstances, the decision by military prosecutors to seek a death sentence against Sgt. Russell re-energized a blame game that has pitted Russell's defense attorneys against the U.S. Army psychiatric team their client partly targeted at the Camp Liberty Combat Stress Center.

Lead defense attorney James Culp called treatment Russell received just prior to the killings "mental health mistreatment" and "a significant causal factor" in the massacre, leading him to pursue a "first-ever" insanity defense.

News feature stories have subsequently appeared supporting, and rebutting, that argument. An indictment of combat zone mental health care in the U.S. military, an August 1, 2012 Bloomberg BusinessWeek story suggested the three counselors Russell saw for about 2.5 hours total are culpable, and could have prevented the tragedy.

But in an interview, one of those counselors, psychiatrist (then Lt. Col.) Michael Jones, counters in detail. Jones, who roomed with victim Matthew Houseal and survived the shootings by escaping through a window, instead describes a combat stress team that was "competent, well-trained, and empathetic" and a soldier, Sgt. Russell, who wanted to leave the Army at any cost.

In 2013, Russell pleaded guilty to five counts of unpremeditated murder to avoid a possible death sentence. The plea deal stipulated that the prosecution would be able to make a case the murders were indeed premeditated. In May 2013, the jury agreed that the murders were premeditated, meaning Russell now faced a mandatory life sentence. The judge was then given the choice over whether to give him a chance of parole. Russell was ultimately sentenced to life in prison without parole.

Street-wise Kolkata: How Park Street got its name
by Times of News November 15, 2019 048
Park street's colonial nomenclature is as iconic as the street itself. (Express Photo: Shashi Ghosh)
In 2004, Mayor Subrata Mukherjee announced that the Kolkata Municipal Corporation would be renaming several streets and roads in the city after prominent Indians and residents of the city, a change that would divest street names of their colonial identities. The renaming of city streets continued for the next decade by subsequent governments but for residents of the city, British colonial street names have been remnants that have been hard to shake off. Despite the name change, one of the city's main thoroughfares, Park Street, is rarely referred to by its relatively new nomenclature, Mother Teresa Sarani, even on most government documents and during government-organised street programmes. The street's colonial nomenclature is thus as iconic as the street itself.

Documented records of the street itself can be traced to 1760 when the city was still called Calcutta and was the capital of the British India. The city's decision to rename Park Street after Mother Teresa is a perplexing one, since she had little to do with the thoroughfare and its environs, but the street's name change is hardly a new occurrence. Since 1760, the street has seen several name changes as Calcutta consistently swelled and developed into a larger metropolis. The first known name of the street can be found in the 'Bengal Agra Directory of 1850' where it went by the name of 'Ghorustan ka Rastah' or 'Badamtallee' and "open(ed) on Chowringhee opposite the 'Chowringhee gate' of the fort, (ran) easterly to circular road."

This map is a part of the King's Topographical Collection and was the product of a survey of Calcutta undertaken from 1780 to 1784, produced by Captain Mark Wood for the East India Company, in watercolour and pen and ink. (Courtesy: British Library)
In 1760, the East India Company appointed Henry Vansittart as the Governor of the Presidency of Fort William in Calcutta and set him up in a large three-storey colonial mansion at No 5, Middleton Row, a relatively small street that was a bylane off the main thoroughfare that is now Park Street. That three-storey residential structure had a large garden attached to it, as was the common architectural layout during that time and served as the residence of Vansittart during his four-year governorship in Calcutta.
Vansittart's tenure in Bengal was rife with misconduct and reports of widespread corruption that resulted in him being forced to step down followed by his departure for England in 1764. His residence was emptied and occupied by Elijah Impey, the first Chief Justice of the Supreme Court of Judicature at Fort William, Calcutta in Bengal.
The last burial ground of Park Street may soon be the only remaining witness of what the thoroughfare once was and its history. (Express Photo: Shashi Ghosh)
Impey too took advantage of his position as Chief Justice. A friend of the then Governor-General of Bengal Warren Hastings, Impey tried Maharaja Nandakumar, a diwan in Birbhum, on charges of fraud. But Hastings had framed the charges after Nandakumar reported him for wrongful appropriation and embezzlement of public property. Impey himself oversaw the trial and pronounced Nandakumar guilty of the charges. The Maharaja was hanged in Calcutta in 1775.
After the hanging of Nandakumar, Thomas Macaulay accused Impey of judicial misconduct and Hastings of misconduct and corruption and brought on a seven-year-long impeachment hearing against the two. At the end of the impeachment process, both were exonerated by the British House of Commons, mainly owing to domestic political reasons in Britain and not because of findings any investigation. Both went on to live comfortable lives in Britain.
Historian P. Thankappan Nair traces the origins of the name Park Street to the expansive gardens around Impey's residence. The area occupied by Impey's residence and the adjoining gardens were so large that it included the grounds on which Loreto College now stands. Some records say the residence extended all the way from Middleton Row to Russel Street and included the grounds that now belongs to the Royal Calcutta Turf Club, now unused and in dire need of maintenance. Other records claim the gardens had deer running around, because of which the grounds began to be called a deer park. But there doesn't seem to be any existing document that confirms this.

Other names of the street through the city's history have included Badamtalla, or Almond Street, Vansittart Avenue and Burial Ground Road and Burial Ground Street. Henry Ferdinand Blochmann, a German scholar who was fascinated by the Indian subcontinent and studied and taught Persian during the 1860s in Calcutta, has documented the history of the city and it's streets during the 18th century in his book 'Calcutta During Last Century'. Park Street, writes Blochmann, was called Burial Ground Street and "had about ten houses lying along it".
In A. Upjohn's map of Calcutta, 1794, Park Street is referred to as Burial Ground Road, because it was the path that funeral processions took to reach the South Park Street Burial Ground that opened on August 25, 1767. For a long time, the street was not a preferred choice for residence because of this. The Park Street area also had the North Park Street, Mission and Tiretta burial grounds before they were flattened to make way for other establishments. The Apeejay School now stands on the remains of a razed French cemetery and while the Assembly of God Church Tower stands on the site of the North Park Street Cemetery. The only visible remnant of the North Park Street Cemetery is the Robertson Monument, a grave for the Robertson family whose members served in Kolkata Police. According to historians who have traced the structure's history, it was only this connection of the family with the Kolkata Police that prevented the monument from being served the same fate as the rest of the tombs on the North Park Street Cemetery. Today, the monument stands in one corner of the pavement, outside the Assembly of God Church Tower, coated in grime from passing vehicles and drowning under surrounding billboards and the hanging mass of tangled wires and cables, easy to miss if one isn't paying attention.

It isn't clear when the name changed from Burial Ground Road to Park Street, but given its association with Impey's "deer park", it can be assumed that the transition occurred sometime around the 1760s during Impey's tenure in the city. According to city records, Park Street extended from Chowringhee to Lower Circular Road till 1928 when the Calcutta Improvement Trust extended the portion on Lower Circular Road to the city's railway lines at E.B Railway Bridge Number 4. The extension of Park Street at its southern end was completed in 1934 and found mention in that year's government gazette.
Park Street, writes Blochmann, was called Burial Ground Street and "had about ten houses lying along it". (Express Photo: Shashi Ghosh)
Despite its earlier association with the four burial grounds in its area, the long stretch of the street rapidly developed over the centuries to accommodate residential mansions and educational and religious institutions like St. Xavier's College, the Freemason's Hall, the Asiatic Society of Bengal etc. In recent decades, especially post the Second World War, many of the city's iconic structures on Park Street have been steadily razed to make space for modern construction and the architecture of the street has changed. Today, the mansions are fewer, as are the neighbourhood's residents who have seen Park Street rapidly change over the past four decades. Restaurant chains, cafes and sari shops with neon sign-boards have taken over the colonial structures that once housed residential apartments and government offices. The last burial ground of Park Street may soon be the only remaining witness of what the thoroughfare once was and its history.

Four women were found guilty by a federal judge Friday of illegally entering a national wildlife refuge near the U.S.-Mexico border to leave food and water for illegal immigrants crossing the Arizona desert.
The women were volunteers with No More Deaths, a group fighting to end deaths of illegal immigrants crossing the sometimes treacherous desert landscapes along the border, according to reports.
Prosecutors said Natalie Hoffman had been driving a vehicle inside the Cabeza Prieta National Wildlife Refuge in southwestern Arizona on Aug. 13, 2017, and leaving 1-gallon water jugs and cans of beans, reports said.
She was also accused of entering the refuge without a permit. The other three women — Oona Holcomb, Madeline Huse and Zaachila Orozco-McCormick — were with Hoffman when they encountered a U.S. Fish and Wildlife officer inside the refuge.

Avocados are seeing one of the biggest price spikes in nearly a decade, just as President Donald Trump has made recent threats to shut down the U.S.-Mexico border.
The price of Hass avocados from the Michoacan region in Mexico jumped 34 percent Tuesday, in the largest single-day gain since April 13, 2009, Bloomberg reported. And there could be more price jumps ahead, with one expert telling the publication that avocado prices "could easily double or triple" in the event of a border shutdown.
"Because California is late and it's a small crop, Mexico is accounting for nearly all of our avocados," Roland Fumasi, vice president and senior analyst at Rabobank told Bloomberg.
And that figure doesn't apply to just this year's supply of avocados. In 2017 alone, Mexico exported 1.7 billion pounds of the green fruit to the United States, growing 75 to 80 percent of the avocados that Americans eat, according to the Hass Avocado Board.
The cause for the jump in avocado pricing? Fumasi guessed that it could be due to the border issues, compounded with the fact that a heat wave in 2018 affected the outcome of this year's avocado crop in California.
Beyond Tuesday's price increase, in the event of a border shutdown, the United States' avocado supply could be gone after just three weeks, predicted Mission Produce, the world's largest avocado grower and distributor.
California's own avocado growers won't be able to compensate for the loss of product. For one, the California avocado season is just starting, said Mission Produce President Steve Barnard, telling Reuters on Monday that California has "a very small crop, but they're not relevant right now and won't be for another month or so."
Mexico also has an added advantage to growing avocados: The region is able to sustain growing avocados year-round, while other places such as California can only grow for a few months at a time.
Avocados aren't the only produce that would be affected by the border shutdown; among Mexico's other top exports to the United States are watermelons, limes, bell peppers, mangoes, papayas and strawberries, reported Business Insider.
Since his assertion Friday that he would close the southern border this week, Trump changed his tune slightly Tuesday. While not completely backing off his threat to shut the border, Trump said that "we're going to see what happens" but that he's "ready to close it" if he must.

Norma Sotio's husband died while awaiting a ruling on his application for benefits for his service during World War II.
WAIPAHU — Gaudencio Sotio injured his left leg fighting to expel the Japanese military from the Philippines during World War II. Though Filipino, he was fighting under the command of the United States, which had colonized his homeland in the late 1800s.
Last February, the U.S. said it would pay a lump sum — $9,000 or $15,000 — to veterans such as Sotio in lieu of pensions it had promised Filipino soldiers during the war but reneged on paying.
Since then, more than 11,000 surviving veterans now in their 80s and 90s received this payment for their service and sacrifice. But thousands of others are still waiting to receive their money as the federal government wades through a backlog of applications.
The bureaucracy moved too slowly for Sotio, who died Jan. 10. The 84-year-old applied for his benefit on Feb. 20 — almost 11 months ago — just days after the law authorizing the funds went into effect. His death came before the Department of Veterans Affairs was able to rule on his claim.
"My husband said: 'If the others are receiving, maybe I'm going to receive too,"' said Norma Sotio, his widow, as tears welled in her eyes. "It's one year already. If my husband received that money maybe he enjoy."
Part of the problem is that 40,000 people applied for the benefit when the VA had been expecting only half that number. To cope, the VA added seven additional claims processors to its Manila field office.
The National Personnel Records Center in St. Louis, which has more than 100 years of documents for military servicemen and women, has also increased its staff to deal with the claims, and is now handling 800 lump sum payment queries a week, or twice as many as when the program started.
The VA expects these changes will allow it to plow through the existing application pile in about 10 weeks.
"We are committed to delivering these benefits in a compassionate and timely manner," said Willie Clark, the Western area director for the field operations office.
The department has so far had to deny nearly 8,000 claims, mostly from people who hadn't served. Some were from widows of veterans, or children and other next of kin who aren't eligible. Some people filed more than one application.
About 16,000 claims are still being reviewed.
The waiting has frustrated veterans who have already spent most of their lives pushing the government to fulfill its promises.
"The long delay is justice denied. That's the saying. It's really true — it's an injustice somehow," said Art Caleda, president of the Hawai'i chapter of World War II Filipino-American Veterans.
About 400 applicants are in Hawai'i. Most — 65 percent — have been paid, while 15 percent were denied.
About 20 percent of the Hawai'i claims are still pending, like Sotio's.
"There are veterans who were able to file their application claims but then they died. What is the use of that?" said Caleda.
More than 250,000 Filipinos served alongside U.S. soldiers to defend the Philippines from the 1941 Japanese invasion.
They formed the resistance during the subsequent Japanese occupation.
Because her husband applied before he died, Norma Sotio would receive his benefit if the VA determines he had a valid claim.
She said she'd share any money she receives with his children.

Steep Canyon Rangers Share "Sunny Days"
Article Contributed by Yep Roc Records | Published on Tuesday, September 22, 2020
GRAMMY award-winning band North Carolina-based Steep Canyon Rangers today share "Sunny Days," the fourth track unveiled from their thirteenth album, Arm In Arm, out October 16 on Yep Roc Records.
Helmed by Graham Sharp's banjo, "Sunny Days" is a gorgeous manifestation of several members' virtuosity. "It's got a driving pulse at the top of it, like a rock anthem, but it changes at the line, "What I wouldn't give to be with you in the sunshine," says Mike Guggino. "We knew the song had to change there, so we bring it down, and there's a group solo with the banjo, fiddle, and mandolin all playing at once with each instrument occupying a different space. The music releases as the speaker releases that wish to be in the sunshine."
Recorded over several days at the iconic Southern Ground Studios in Nashville, which marked the first time the band recorded outside NC, Arm in Arm was produced by the band with Brandon Bell (Zac Brown, John Prine). Featuring 11 original compositions, the album sees the band expanding their sound by paying homage to their early influences and the bluegrass tradition for which they're known.
Previously released tracks from the forthcoming album include: "Honey On My Tongue," "In The Next Life," and the video for "Every River," which received praise from Rolling Stone Country and Asheville Citizen-Times.
On October 3, the band will perform at this year's IBMA Virtual World of Bluegrass lineup. Including many songs from the forthcoming album, performances for the two-day music festival can be accessed for free at worldofbluegrass.org.
For the release, the band partnered with Wicked Weed Brewing, an Asheville-based brewer who will contribute ten dollars per album (up to 2,000 albums) sold via the Yep Roc store to Haywood Street's Downtown Welcome Table. This area organization provides a fine dining experience meant to counter the notion often held by those living on the streets that handouts, hand-me-downs, and leftovers are all I deserve.
Arm In Arm follows two 2019 releases that both debuted at #1 on Billboard's Bluegrass chart: North Carolina Songbook, an eight-song live album recorded at Merlefest featuring reinterpretations of songs from cross-generational NC icons; and Be Still Moses, an 11-song collaboration between the band and the Asheville Symphony, which featured a collaboration with Boyz II Men and the Asheville Symphony on the title track.
Over a 20-year career, the North Carolina Music Hall of Fame inductees have released 12 solo albums and three collaborative albums with actor/banjoist Steve Martin. The Steep Canyon Rangers are Woody Platt, Graham Sharp, Mike Guggino, Nicky Sanders, Mike Ashworth, Barrett Smith.
The album is available for pre-order.

Q: get specific key and value from Web Scraping by using XML How can code to find out fips when month is 2019, month is August and locality is King and Queen?

I started with import requests
from lxml import objectify

URL = 'https://data.virginia.gov/api/views/xvir-sctz/rows.xml?accessType=DOWNLOAD'

response = requests.get(URL).content

import requests
from lxml import objectify

#parsing the XML file
root = objectify.fromstring(response)

#take a look at the data
print(response)

A: I will probably use panda dataframe for this as it is simpler to deal with the data and filtering:
import pandas as pd

df = pd.read_xml('https://data.virginia.gov/api/views/xvir-sctz/rows.xml?accessType=DOWNLOAD', xpath='row//row')[['year','month','fips','locality']]
df.columns = ['Year','Month','Fips','Locality']
print(df)

fips_df = df.query('Year == 2019.0 & Month == "August" & Locality.str.contains("King and Queen")')
print(fips_df)

Output like this:

You can change the query to suite your needs:
fips_df = df.query('Year == 2019.0 & Month == "August" & Locality.str.contains("King and Queen")')

Maja Videnović () is a politician in Serbia. She has served in the National Assembly of Serbia for most of the period since 2008 as a member of the Democratic Party (Demokratska stranka, DS).

Early life and career
Videnović was born in Belgrade, then part of the Socialist Republic of Serbia in the Socialist Federal Republic of Yugoslavia. She participated in the
1996–97 protests against the administration of Slobodan Milošević, organizing opposition events at her high school. She later graduated from the University of Belgrade Faculty of Law.

Political career
Videnović was a member of the Assembly of the City of Belgrade and the municipal assembly of New Belgrade from 2004 to 2008. From 2007 to 2011, she was vice-president of the DS city board in Belgrade.

She received the 173th position on the Democratic Party's electoral list in the 2003 Serbian parliamentary election and the forty-eighth position in the 2007 election. The lists won thirty-seven and sixty-four seats, respectively, and she was not chosen for the party's assembly delegation on either occasion. (From 2000 to 2011, parliamentary mandates were awarded to sponsoring parties or coalitions rather than to individual candidates, and it was common practice for the mandates to be distributed out of numerical order. Videnović's numerical position on the lists had no technical bearing on whether or not she received a mandate.)

She received the twentieth position on the Democratic Party's For a European Serbia list in the 2008 parliamentary election. The list won 102 out of 250 seats, and she was on this occasion selected to serve in the assembly. After extended negotiations, the Democratic Party emerged at the head of a coalition government, and Videnović served in the assembly as a government supporter.

Serbia's electoral system was reformed once again in 2011, such that parliamentary mandates were awarded in numerical order to candidates on successful lists. Videnović received the fifty-third position on the Democratic Party's Choice for a Better Life list and was re-elected when the list won sixty-seven mandates. The Serbian Progressive Party and the Socialist Party of Serbia formed a new government after the election, and the DS moved into opposition.

Videnović was promoted to the thirty-third position on the DS's list for the 2014 parliamentary election. The list won only nineteen mandates, and she was not returned. She endorsed party leader Dragan Đilas against a challenge from Bojan Pajtić in 2014; Pajtić was successful, becoming the party's new leader in a delegated vote on 2 June. On the same day, Videnović was elected as one of the party's five vice-presidents. In 2015, she defended National Ombudsman Saša Janković against criticisms from the governing Progressive Party. She was promoted to the ninth position for the 2016 election and was elected to a third term in the assembly when the DS list won sixteen mandates. The party has continued to serve in opposition during this time.

She is currently the deputy chair of the assembly committee on human and minority rights and gender equality; a deputy member of the committee on the diaspora and Serbs in the region, the culture and information committee, the European integration committee, and the security services control committee; a member of Serbia's delegation to the Parliamentary Dimension of the Central European Initiative; and a member of the parliamentary friendship groups with Croatia, France, Israel, Italy, Spain, and the United States of America.

The production of goods and services are meant for human consumption but human resource forms part of the factors of production. Information on the characteristics of the population as well as the proportion of economically active and economically not active persons in the total population can inform policies and programmes on economic activities, occupation, industry and employment. This chapter presents information on the activity status, size and structure of the labour force, and its distribution by occupation, industry, sector of employment and employment status in the Accra Metropolitan Area (AMA).
Economic Activity Status
Economically active are all persons (i) who worked for pay or profit or family gain during the seven days preceding the census or (ii) who did not work but had jobs to return to, such as those on leave with or without pay, temporarily ill persons, temporarily laid off persons or (iii) who did not work during the reference period, but were actively looking for work (i.e. the unemployed). On the other hand, economically not active are homemakers (persons who engaged in household duties without pay), students, the aged, pensioners and persons with disability (GSS, 2012).
This section presents results on persons 15 years and older who engaged in any activity for pay (cash or kind) or profit or family gain during the seven days preceding census night. Table 4.1 shows that out of the population 15 years and older in the Metropolis in 2010, 70.1 percent were economically active while 29.9 percent were economically not active.
Ninety-three percent of the economically active population were employed while 7.0 percent were unemployed. There were slightly more males (92.9%) than females (92.6%) employed in the Metropolis. Table 4.1 further reveals that more than half of the economically not active population were in full time education (52.0%) and the disabled or sick constituted the least percentage (3.1%). The large number of economically not active population who are in full time education means that the Metropolis has potential quality human capital for its socio-economic development in future.
Figure 4.1 displays population distribution of persons aged 15 years and older by economic status in the Metropolis. A little above 70 percent (70.1%) of the population 15 years and older were economically active and about 93.0 percent of that population was employed. In terms of sex, 69 percent of females aged 15 years and older were economically active and 93 percent of them were employed. About 72.0 percent of the males were economically active and 93 percent of them were employed. Also, the results show that about 30.0 percent were economically not active and 7.2 percent were unemployed. Unemployment is generally low in the Metropolis.
Information on population 15 years and older by sex, age and economic activity status is presented in Table 4.2. It reveals that employment status peaked (17.4%) for both sexes at age group 20-24, 65.1 percent of all age groups together were employed while 29.9 percent of all ages together were economically not active.
Higher proportions of both sexes aged between 20 and 29 years dominated the various employment statuses. More males (80.2%) aged between15 and 19 years than their female counterparts (75.9%) were economically not active. This might be due to the fact that more males than females of that age group were in full time education in the Metropolis.

Specific Type: Shuttle Loop
Seating: 6 cars, 2 x 2
Height: 56 feet
Speed: 45 MPH
Inversions: 1
Length: 635 feet
Manufacturer: Arrow Dynamics
Official Debut: 1993
Watch out for the tumbleweed and sandstorms as you visit Frontier City in Oklahoma City. This small and very unique park is themed after the Wild West and gives every member of the family something to do as fun awaits all ages. The park has multiple coasters that will appeal to everyone in your family. One coaster you will want to try out is Diamond Back. Do not get this confused with the mammoth coaster at Kings Island as this coaster is much older and a totally different style.
Diamond Back was built in 1978 by Arrow Dynamics and placed at Six Flags Great Adventure in New Jersey. The name of the coaster there was Lightnin' Loops. The coaster was relocated to Frontier City in 1993 where it has been in operation ever since. Diamond Back is a launched shuttle platform steel coaster (Yes I know that is a mouthful). Many of these rides popped up in the 1970s in major parks and then were relocated when the parks began to build bigger hyper coasters. So many small parks like Frontier City were able to land these legends.
The steel sit down coaster was painted green and black until 2007 when the park painted it yellow and blue to spruce it up. There is only one train because it is a shuttle and the train can hold 24 passengers.
Passengers board the train after walking up 50 plus feet to the platform. The train is launched down the drop of 47 feet at 45 mph. The train then goes through the big loop and up to the other side where it hits the brakes. The train then moves forward to the backward launch system and sits until the ride operator sends you flying backwards through the same track. Riders get the feeling of 4Gs going both directions. The train comes to a stop at the first launch station and you have just completed your 1 plus minute ride aboard the Diamond Back!
