Q: Retrieving all datas from table? Swift, Parse? I'm new in Parse. I have leagues class, which has name. I want to take all names from table and show them in table view.
I wrote something like this:
   let query = PFQuery(className: "Leagues")
    query.findObjectsInBackgroundWithBlock { (objects: [PFObject]?, error: NSError?) in
        if( objects != nil && error == nil) {
            for i in objects! {
                let n = objects[i] as Leagues
            }
        }else if error != nil {
            print("Error is: \(error)")
        }
    }

Error is:

Type PSObject has no subscript members

What should I do for taking all names from table?

A: The reason this is happening is that your "i" in your for loop is actually the  reference to the PFObject not the PFObject Array.
So the compiler is giving you correct information when it says that the individual PFObject does not have any Subscript members.
Try this:
let query = PFQuery(className: "Leagues")
    query.findObjectsInBackgroundWithBlock { (objects: [PFObject]?, error: NSError?) in
        if( objects != nil && error == nil) {
            for i in objects! {
                let n = i as Leagues // Assuming your PFObject is a list of Leagues
            }
        }else if error != nil {
            print("Error is: \(error)")
        }
    }

View Full Version : Our Deepest Sympathies...
Tolero
Turbine would like to express our deepest sympathies to the friends and family of one of the original creators of Dungeons & Dragons® game, David Arneson. We are deeply saddened by his passing.
Dave helped define roleplaying games, and has been responsible for the countless hours of entertainment we have all experienced while playing in his worlds. His accomplishments also include working with special-needs children, and later teaching computer game design at the university level.
Dave will never be forgotten for his contributions, and our condolences go out to all who knew him and whose lives he touched. He will be missed.
Yaga_Nub
So there is going to be a memorial for him as well?
Wow. I honestly never heard of him before now. I'm saddened at his passing on, but a little happy I know who he is now. The fact that he worked with these children, and was an educator is great. Sounds like he was a very special person and a good friend. God bless ya bud.
We'll be working on a tribute for Dave... we were clinging to the hope that his passing would not come to fruition but alas :(
sirdanile
R.I.P Dave :'(
totmacher
you should make something Blackmoor related, that was an awesome setting, the very first. dave would want that :) and a +5 vorpal
The_Rev09
Dave and Gary both gone. The end of an era..... :(
Shaamis
I never had the honor of meeting Dave, but he changed my life (I feel) for the better, and I'm sure he has touched countless other lives through his imagination, as well as his compassion.
You are already missed.
But you are in a better place.
<salute> Fare well Sir Arneson. </salute>

/salute
Thank you, Dave. Rest in peace.
DaveyCrockett
My first 2 characters in DDO were Scary Gygax and Slave Arneson. My own personal tribute to two legends of the gaming community.

Oh no another one gone...... Dave helped to bring many years of fun to my life. He gave me something to pull me from reality...... A way to ignore the real world, to leave behind that crappy day I had.....
Rest In Peace Dave.......
BLAKROC
R.I.P and ty for your excellence
So long Dave, thanks for the many years of escape and memories you gave me! Rest in peace!
Xeriphim
Rest in Peace , you'll be missed by the masses .

Gaming on the next plane just got that much better.
Roll In Peace, Dave.
Sad day for gaming indeed. Didn't you guys have Dave narrate one of the quests as well? I'm pretty sure that's his voice, though I only met the man once.
Yes, I know it was Gary who narrates Delera's. But I'm pretty sure its Dave's voice on one as well. Could be wrong though.
Chazzie
My thoughts and prayers go out to his family...
Im so happy that a tribute will be in the works
and would like to second the idea of Blackmoor and the +5 Vorpal
I can picture Dave and Gary sitting at a table rolling the dice
toughguyjoe
I thought this was an amazing tribute, so i wanted to make sure everyone got to see it.
RIP Dave.
Shamguard
I remember when DDO first released there was an anoucement that both Gary and Dave had done DM voice overs for dungeons.
What dungeon was done by Dave? Thernal?
cbj192
And thanks Turbine in advance for making a tribute.
Many years ago, while in the 7th Grade, I began playing D&D with friends. Had it not been for these two pioneers in the gaming industry, I could have been partying and drinking taking a different turn in life. Instead my weekends were filled with sleepless nights, caffiene and cold pizza and blurry mornings. Undoubtedly due to the GM having the stamina to keep up with our need to get to the end of a plot. I spent weekends after weekends enjoying the exploration of mine and my friends imaginations and it saddens me deeply that we all have to move on through life without Gary and Dave to provide us with new adventures to explore. Having met both of the Gentlemen and obtained their signatures on whatever I had at the time was a great honor for me. Just to tell them both how much I had enjoyed their work and the extent to which they influenced my thinking was a satisfaction for me that has never been matched. Yes, I am now 40 years old (YEAH I KNOW, I'M AN OLD GUY NOW THANKYOU.) but there is still nothing that can stand up to the enjoyment of escaping the trials and tribulations of every day life by playing in the worlds created by both of these fine men. Dave and Gary will always hold a special place in the world for all of us, but I will miss them both very, very much. May God Bless both of their familys and be happy in the fact that they are with him. Also now not only are there ideas endless in the D&D realms, but now GOD has given them both unendless time and space in which to continue their unltimate adventure to GAME ON FOREVER WITHOUT LIMITS. Bravo Gary and DAVE.
WERTEK STRONGHAMMER:(
P.S. - Just so you guys know, when I get there with you, I look forward to sitting in at the table with you both.
Hakushi
May you rest in peace Dave, thank you for all you have done, you won't be forgotten.
god bless dave and gary for all you done, rest in peace we`ll all miss you
Kistilan
Cheers Dave.
Thanks for all the great work and innovation over all these years. Rest peacefully and see you in Elysium.
Mr_Ed7
Thank-you for the thousands of hours of fun.
I LOVE BASIC DUNGEON & DRAGONS!
honkuimushi
Yes, Arneson did the voiceover for Threnal. Just curious, but the obits said that he had been in poor health for the past few years. When did you get him to do the voicework?
I was wondering if anyone at Turbine could tell us anythig about how they got Gygax and Arneson to do the DM narration and if there are any interesting stories about those experiences?
Edvader3
I bought my first Basic D & D boxed set in 1977. Dave and Gary opened my eyes to a whole new world!
Thank you for all you have done for all of us!
Ed Patterson
Jaguras
R.I.P. Dave!
So many Years of good Work for all of us and now its all gone. You will be missed!
Accelerando
Please make one. Say thankya.
That would be something very interresting to know.
its sad to see the people that have given us hours of enjoyment pass away heres to you dave
Kruler
I thought it was Mr. Arneson's voice in the Threnal series as well. RIP in your new plane.
Reverand
Thanks to Dave and Gary. We will never forget.
with great sincerity and appreciation.
with the red box and continued onward over...31 years now...32 this October...I never could have imagined such joy gaming and imagination combined D&D would bring.
That was due to the D&D team. Yes (like Microsoft,) one name sometimes gets more notice, but not when it came to Blackmoor. What an amazing place it is.
While never meeting either face to face, I play/played "Living" ganes online (pre 4th ED of course) via OpenRPG for many a game, including Blackmoor sometimes done by the God himself. While that was my communication limit, I treasure the posts and chats I did have...
*tears* which in some way hurts more than Gygax's passing since I got to know him a little.
Truly a Blackmoor themed Memorial would be most fitting.
No words alone can express my gratitude and my grief over this but I will try:
Thank you Dave. Thank you for your Multiverses and adventures and individual gaming idea and I so miss you now both of you are gone...it truly hurts when I think of not talking to you again.
Goodbye Dave, but you too will never be forgotten by me as long as I will remember D&D; may that be forever.
*Bows Head*

I got my first boxed set in 1975.
Chainmail was Gygax and Jeff Perren and was the LGTSA sandbox variant rules to use medieval minutures that I used to build my nortorious halfling calvary and archer army.
From this was born the Castle and Crusades Society. "Dave Arneson decided to begin a medieval Fantasy Campaign for his Twin Cities Club" (quoted from the original D&D forward by Gygax). On the map of the "Great Kingdom", Dave found a nice bog and built "Blackmoor" between the Great Kingdom and the fearsome "Egg of the Coot". Dave then drew ideas from Chainmail for a far more complex game thus begining the creation of "Dungeons and Dragons Rules for Fantastic Medieval Wargames Campains Playable with Paper and Pencil and Miniture Figurines" (the original name of D&D). The original rules were developed by Dave then he and Gygax created D&D with Gygax as the editor. Dave was always more of a players person and just wanted people to have fun. Gary had a dream of creating a game that every fantasy and wargame lover would want to play. Dave's Blackmoor was finally published as suppliment 2 and became the first "outdoor/temple (of the Frog) module. Between the publishing of the rules and Blackmore Gygax published suppliment 1 "Greyhawk" with Kuntz which clarified many rules but also added the Theif and Paladin classes and 1/2 elves to expand playability. Greyhawk was where many of the restrictions were lifted. Originally only humans could be Clerics, Hobbits and Dwarves could only be fighters (max lv 4 & 6 respectively) and Elf was the only one that could dual class ftr/wiz.
In Blackmoor, Arneson added monks and assassins but what I remember most is the dozens of times we had to reroll characters due to the one round encounters with the Madusa's and Evil High Preist.
Those that did not have the pleasure of playing the small brown books, Arneson created the ultimate "Evil High Priest". Thinking that having a good 4 - 6 man party with a cleric that could raise dead and wizard that had fireball meant you could take anything, it was a rude awakening. "The Evil High Priest of the Temple of the Frog" took a full page (page 34 and a paragraph of page 35) to discribe with his gear. He was an Intelligent humanoid from another world that had to pay an annual "Loot" payment to the mothership. He has battle armor (described below), mobile medical kit (sic), and a communication module (to summon all the monsters still alive in the temple). The temple was fully alarmed so he could not be surprised. The Battle Armor gave +3, +12 move per turn, 18 Str/ 18 Dex, +3 saves and complete resistanct to elements (including as we found out fireballs and lightning). It also gave protection from disease , charming, hypnosis, life drain, and any physical spells (polymorph, decay, etc). It gave fly and waterbreathing. he only could be damaged by physical attacks. His Sword was +3 and fired 6 lightning bolts per day, detects metal and the presence of any living being in 100' but worse of all it had a 20% chance of breaking an opponents weapon in melee but was unbrakable ( really want to upset a Paladin? Break his holy sword.. It is sad to watch.). His Shield was +3 and cast a 10' ring of invisiblilty and shielded against mental, energy, wizard or cleric attacks. It could also be used to reflect spells back at the caster (that was nasty to find out the first time around). The med kit was basically a floating cube that regenerated the user and prevented diseases.
That is they type of sadistic DM Arneson was, and as many hundreds of characters as died in that temple we never conquered it, but we tried and died may times trying to get past each of the levels and obsticles, learning and adapting as we went. Arneson was truely the creator of Fantasy Roleplaying. For many a year the words "you see a man in black robes" sent my parties running in terror from fear of Evil High Priests..........
Gary and Dave, we appreciate your work and hope you get good rolls where you are going.

Driver touring country to tout alternative fuel.
Joe Connor has a name for the trunk of his 1984 Mercedes: "The Grease Trap." That's because the trunk of the lime green car (yeah, lime green) holds a fuel filtration system, designed to turn restaurant vegetable oil into burnable fuel. Yum. Connor and his car, dubbed "The Green Machine," will be in South Bend today as part of his 115-day fall sports tour. He will be outside the Joyce Center in advance of tonight's Notre Dame hockey game against the University of Denver. The 35-year-old San Diego, Calif., resident is driving around the country to different sporting events, promoting alternative fuels. It's a complicated task. Vegetable oil congeals in cold weather, so a separate tank of biodiesel must be used to start the car in the morning. The fuel must also be run through the lines at night to get the vegetable oil out of the lines where it can solidify and clog the works -- just like a person who eats too much vegetable oil, if you think about it. The Chicago-based Engine Manufacturers Association reports that vegetable oils and animal fats in diesel engines can cause significant damage to diesel engines. And converting what is essentially restaurant grease into fuel is, well, messy. "Even if you only spill a little bit, it's gnarly," he said. The process involves using rubber gloves, being careful not to spill and it probably doesn't smell spectacular, either. "You're going to get a little bit messy and it's going to take time," he said. "If you're not committed to that, that's OK. There are other things you can do for the environment." But that's the point of his tour, Connor said: Not necessarily to promote vegetable oil as a fuel, but rather to get people thinking about alternative forms of energy. Demand for fuel has risen as countries around the world have grown economically, allowing more citizens to drive, Connor said. "Ten, 20, 30 years ago, you couldn't drive in Russia. The only people that drove were Lenin's buddies or Stalin's buddies," he said. "Today ... everyone wants to own a car, drive a car and fuel a car." Connor wants to see more competition when it comes to fuel. "And in addition to competition, if these fuels are better for the environment, well, duh, it's a no brainer," he said. If you think he's out on this limb alone, think again. Connor's tour has support from numerous corporate sponsors, including AutoTrader.com, Mapquest, and the online ticket vendor StubHub. After South Bend, Connor is off to Columbus, Ohio, to see a football match-up between Ohio State and Michigan State Spartans. Brave, with the green car and all.

                {

                },
                {

            "type": "object",
            "required": [
                "myResource_id"
            ],
            "additionalProperties": false,
            "properties": {
                "myResource_id": {
                    "type": "string",
                    "description": "myResource identifier"
                }
            },
            "x-services": [
                "myResource"
            ]
        }
    }
}

Which generates the following C# base class:
    public partial class MyResourceResponse
    {
        public MyResourceResponse()
        {
            CustomInit();
        }

        public MyResourceResponse(MetaResponse meta)
        {
            Meta = meta;
            CustomInit();
        }

        partial void CustomInit();

        [JsonProperty(PropertyName = "meta")]
        public MetaResponse Meta { get; set; }

        public virtual void Validate()
        {
            if (Meta == null)
            {
                throw new ValidationException(ValidationRules.CannotBeNull, "Meta");
            }
            if (Meta != null)
            {
                Meta.Validate();
            }
        }
    }
}

And the following child class:
    public partial class MyResourceResponseExtended : MyResourceResponse
    {
        public MyResourceResponseExtended()
        {
            CustomInit();
        }

        public MyResourceResponseExtended(MetaResponse meta)
            : base(meta)
        {
            CustomInit();
        }

        partial void CustomInit();

        public override void Validate()
        {
            base.Validate();
        }
    }

But my desired output would be to have MyResourceResponseExtended to override the Meta property with a Meta property of type MetaResponseExtended to expose its additional properties.
For example, my desired output would be:
public partial class MyResourceResponseExtended : MyResourceResponse
{
    [JsonProperty(PropertyName = "meta")]
    public new ExtendedMetaResponse Meta { get; set; }

    public MyResourceResponseExtended(ExtendedMetaResponse meta)
        : base(meta)
    {
        Meta = meta;
        CustomInit();
    }
}

Is there a better way to define this in Swagger 2.0?
Is this a bug/limitation of Autorest?
Thanks! :-)
PS: I've looked into using discriminator in the swagger file, but I'm either not using it correctly or it is not designed for this specific purpose.

A: You definitely need to use a discriminator, and make a polymorphic type out of it.
In order to have a polymorphic type, you have to have a property that you declare as a discriminator and each type that is a child (ie, using allOf) of the parent class must have an x-ms-discriminator-value that it can use as a key to allow the deserializer to choose the correct type to deserialize into.
simple example:

Pet objects have a petKind property (DOG or CAT) that tells the deserializer what model to use to deserialize the value.
(In generated c# it would use an attribute on the class for that.)


i've recently started using the public beta of the wiimote patch for (another!) light tagging installation (www.hybridvisuals.nl/compound). to great success i might add (all hail the mighty kineme!). the only thing is that we've mounted the thing in an actual spraycan. this means we can't use the camera, so we're using a 2nd wiimote to get the position data.
now i've managed to get it to work, having each wiimote link up in a separate patch and sending data to the main patch using midi. but the pairing is still rather hit or miss. sometimes one throws the other out, sometimes they both pair to the same patch (giving very unexpected results, very cool if you like weird glitchy stuff).
anyway, my request is to be able to pair multiple wiimotes. perhaps by each one having its output available in a structure?
apparently this is solved with the latest update! another episode of those 'look around before you ask' i guess... hey at least one of the feature requests is done now!
Kineme WiiMote Nunchuk support on the way?

Is the historic right to trial by jury slipping away?
13 April 2010 by Adam Wagner
The conviction of the "Heathrow heist four" at the Old Bailey has raised serious concerns that the historic right to trial by jury may be slipping away.
For the first time in 350 years, the four men were convicted in the Crown Court by way of a trial without a jury. On March 31st each received long prison sentences for their part in the robbery.
Henry Porter, writing in The Guardian, has severely criticised the reforms which allowed the trial to proceed with no jury. He says:
A profound change has occurred in Britain where it is now possible for counsels and a judge to decide the fate of defendants without the involvement of 12 ordinary citizens – the fundamental guarantee against arbitrary state punishment represented so well by the use of the star chamber under King Charles I.
The right to trial by jury has been steadily eroded in recent years. Civil courts now operate almost entirely without juries, as do some lower-level criminal courts such as Magistrates' courts, which are only able to impose custodial sentences up to a maximum length of one year.
However, it is only since the passing of the Criminal Justice Act 2003 that the right to trial by jury in the Crown Court, where sentences can be much longer, has become limited rather than absolute. Section 44 provides for judge-only trials if there is a "real and present danger" of jury tampering.
Clive Coleman writing on the BBC News website explains that "the right was enshrined in Magna Carta in 1215. However it was only after the much feared Court of Star Chamber was abolished in 1641 that every person charged with a serious indictable offence in England and Wales was tried in front of a jury."
The Heathrow case was on any measure an unusual prosecution. The recent trial was in fact the fourth attempt to prosecute the men, with each of the three previous trials collapsing. The Court of Appeal ruled last June (T & Ors R v [2009] EWCA Crim 1035) that there was a serious danger that the jury could be influenced, and as such set up the fourth, final and judge-only trial. Ultimately, the case cost £25m to prosecute, which was significantly more than the men stole.
The mens' lawyers have said they will appeal to the European Court of Human Rights, claiming a breach of their Article 6 rights to a fair trial. Many would agree that the circumstances of their trial represent a dangerous precedent in terms of legal principle. However, this prosecution may also prove a rare exception to the hallowed principle, and a practical solution to the difficult problem of persistent jury intimidation.

H.L. Mencken is so sick of this.
Alternative facts are all the rage these days—ditto fake news—and a lot of people seem to think we are entering a strange, new, post-truth era. Polarization in our politics, unbounded corporate influence on our news, and insularity in our digital lebensweld all are conspiring to pull the rug out from underneath our democracy.
But the debate over which truths should stand as the foundation of our civic life has been raging for a long, long time. Take for example the battle between creationists and scientists that started as a 1925 show trial in Tennessee and has sustained itself for almost a hundred years, taking the fight to the Supreme Court twice, and waging numerous battles in courts around the country.
Fair point! But have you considered the alternative, outlined by Raymond Bohlin?
Hmmm! Very interesting! It is truly heartening to know that the educational fate of some five million Texan children depends on such nuanced and delicate argument. The future is in good hands.

Q: Spring Realtime Data Sending With Database I'm having small e-commerce application with Spring boot, but I want to realtime the rest endpoint where the products are listed, so I want the rest endpoint to be updated if any product is updated or created.
I'm confused how to listen database in realtime. I found Sse for realtime data sending but i couldn't found how to do this with database
Can you please suggest a best methodology

A: If you are using Hibernate for managing Data. then use hibernate envers and process the model after create/update db.
my suggestion is whenever an action create/update happens in hibernate.
Hibernate envers will trigger and use Akka actor to process the event.
Hibernate -> hibernate Envers -> Akka (business layer) -> rest endpoint
Thanks,

What Is So Fascinating About Agriculture?
Historically, farming is quite an innovative field, simply not necessarily in the digital realm. Indoor farming is an enormous industry that's been around for decades. Clearly, business-as-usual farming isn't the most suitable way forward.
Agriculture played a major part the creation of the civilization since the early ages. It has been a part of humans and the environment for the past 12,000 years. It plays a key role in addressing the global challenge of climate change. Looking back agriculture can likewise be credited to the growth of sedentary human civilization, the custom of living in one place for quite a long time. In the developing world, it remains one of the core pillars of economic development. Indian agriculture is extremely related to human labour and great rainfall. Data-driven agriculture, which is a significant component of economics, enables farmers to produce advances in producing greater amounts of food to fulfill the food demands of an increasing population.
Farmers have to be constantly looking for new ways to reduce consumption of water, soil and nutrients, while reducing the amount of time, work or expenses. As a consequence, Farmers today use the internet to make best use of all available data! Farmers all around the world have integrated IoT devices in their fields.
The world is growing more connected. Owing to that, we have more food being produced since ever. At precisely the same time, we are using more resources and arable soil is becoming less available.
Technologies are transforming the manner food service businesses operate in stores. Rapidly advancing technology and a heightened rate of international convergence have transformed the way the world produces and consumes products and services and agriculture isn't an exception.
Importantly, innovation isn't only invention. Now there's it from beginning to end. It must be embedded in a solution that is taken to market. To feed our international population, it is going to take as much innovation during the next 40 years as we've experienced over the previous 10,000 decades.
Technology is beginning to earn a difference, however. The business's technology is currently used by thousands and thousands of acres of agricultural land in California and Australia. So while the technology is currently evolving, the market has been in existence for a lengthy moment. Clean technology continues to make progress on several fronts and in a number of industries. Last, digital technology can disrupt the managing of organic resources through precision tools, helping boost food production sustainably. Aerial imaging technology isn't new.
The systems supplied by the government posed another challenge. Climate control is an insurance plan. Although it is not going to be simple to locate a way to make a food system that's ready to supply everybody with healthy and nutritious food, I'm hopeful. I'm yet disappointed that our food distribution process is so inefficient.
African food market keeps growing. Meanwhile, demand for top quality food keeps growing. Will this mean more supply or more demand?
Unfortunately, the international financial crisis slowed down the growth of the agriculture industry in recent decades, but nonetheless, it still grows at a respectful 3% annually. A bio-based economy harnesses the ability of America's farms and forests to create new and advanced products which are used all over the world. Growth is fantastic, but there's still a large knowledge gap for new farmers entering the indoor farming market. It's important to see that the growth of new businesses and technologies will occur in parallel with the development of the agriculture sector itself.

New TfL bus cut to hit Greenwich and Eltham route 286
There will be fewer evening buses on route 286 from April
853 exclusive: Transport for London is planning to cut evening and weekend services on one of Greenwich borough's few north-south bus routes – making it harder to reach some of its most popular tourist and nightlife attractions.
Route 286, which runs from Sidcup to Greenwich via Eltham, Kidbrooke and Blackheath, currently runs every 15 minutes in evenings and on Sundays. But from April, when operator Go-Ahead London begins a new contract, it will be reduced to just every 20 minutes, using the same single-deck diesel buses as now.
The reduction is the latest in a large number of cutbacks to London's bus services, which come as TfL deals with financial problems following the scrapping of its central government funding, London mayor Sadiq Khan's partial fare freeze, and the ongoing delays to the Crossrail project. Earlier this year 853 revealed plans to cut routes through central London, including trimming route 53 back from Whitehall to County Hall.
It is also the second cut planned for services along Trafalgar Road and Woolwich Road, following plans to divert route 180 to North Greenwich station when Crossrail eventually opens.
The 286 serves tourist attractions such as Greenwich Park, Greenwich Market and the Cutty Sark and passes within a short walking distance of Eltham Palace. It is the only service connecting Greenwich town centre with the south of the borough, and is also heavily used by University of Greenwich students travelling to and from their campus at Avery Hill.
In the year to April, it was used by 2,903,536 passengers, up slightly from the 2,820,163 recorded two years before.
TfL's planned service cut emerged in an answer to a Freedom of information request posted on its website.
Geoff Hobbs, TfL's director of public transport service planning, told 853: "We are planning to change the frequency of route 286 to match demand in the evenings and on Sundays. Changing the frequency will allow us to ensure our network is efficiently run and that buses are running where they are needed most."
Despite the 286 passing through the small "low emissions neighbourhood" in Greenwich, the service will continue to use diesel buses. Low emissions neighbourhoods do not mandate the use of hybrid or electric buses, but TfL says the vehicles will have Euro VI engines making them "some of the cleanest buses around".

David Francey Lands 2nd Song On A Grammy-Nominated Album
Talent Jan 10, 2019 by Richard Flohil Comments
Three-time Juno award-winning singer-songwriter David Francey is elated at the news of having another song on a Grammy-nominated album.
The Travelin' McCourys' debut self-titled album has received a Grammy nomination for Best Bluegrass Album. When discussing his recent release, Ronnie McCoury spoke about the song," Borderline," as being written by "one of my favourite writers, David Francey. I always liked his recording and arrangement of this song. I always found it to be a little haunting — it's about a guy who has to travel to make his pay…I can relate!" (Relix Magazine)
"Empty Train," was the first Francey song to be featured on a Grammy-nominated album. In 2016, Claire Lynch's North by South received a nomination in the Best Bluegrass Album category.
"To have my music recognized by such incredible musicians is outstanding," said Francey, "and for my writing to be showcased on two Grammy-nominated albums is an unbelievable honour."
His recent album, The Broken Heart of Everything, was released in early 2018. The extraordinary song collection showcases Francey's skill as a lyricist. His so-good-they-could-be-traditional melodies and themes of the camaraderie of small-town life, the drudgery of the daily grind, the pride in an honest day's work, the sadness of losing loved ones, the joy of close family connections, and the quiet strength of mature love have struck a chord with audiences around the world
He recorded this album with his long-time band-mates Mark Westberg (guitar), Chris Coole (banjo), and Darren McMullen (mandolin, bouzouki etc.) at Coole's family cabin on Belmont Lake, Ontario. Francey's delivery is soft, smooth and emotive, a beautiful, gentle timbre arising from his ongoing struggle with vocal strain.
Francey has won three Juno awards, four Canadian Folk Music Awards, a SOCAN Folk Music Award, and three critics' Album of the Year awards from the Canadian folk magazine, Penguin Eggs. Francey is currently working on new original material, co-writing with other talented singer-songwriters, and showing and selling his beautiful acrylic paintings across Canada.

FIFA lifts ban on AIFF, U-17 Women's World Cup to go ahead in India
Sportsavour Desk August 27, 2022 LATEST, TRENDING, UPDATES Leave a comment
The lifting of the ban on All India Football Federation (AIFF) means that the Under-17 Women's World Cup, scheduled to take place in India from October 11-30, will be held in the country as planned.
FIFA has lifted the suspension that was imposed on the All India Football Federation (AIFF) due to undue third-party influence. "The Bureau of the FIFA Council has decided to lift the suspension that was imposed on the All India Football Federation (AIFF) due to undue third-party influence," the FIFA said in a statement.
FIFA further said, "As a consequence, the FIFA U-17 Women's World Cup 2022 scheduled to take place on 11-30 October 2022 will be held in India as planned." The AFC will continue to monitor the situation and will support the AIFF in conducting its elections in a timely manner.
India's top court disbanded the AIFF in May 2022 and appointed a Committee of Administrators (CoA) to govern the sport, amend the AIFF's constitution and conduct elections that have been pending for 18 months, leading to FIFA's suspension.
Earlier this week, AIFF's Acting General Secretary Sunando Dhar informed FIFA Secretary General Fatma Samoura that the Supreme Court had directed the full repeal of the CoA mandate to ensure the AIFF had full charge of its daily affairs.
"The decision (to lift the ban) was taken after FIFA received confirmation that the mandate of the Committee of Administrators that was set up to assume the powers of the AIFF Executive Committee had been terminated," FIFA added in the statement.

Riveting elements of surprise and attack…a level of sophistication and sensitivity rarely seen.
Sensitive and beautiful. We should see more of Healey's remarkable choreography.
Our most delicate and desperate dreams are the source of the tensions and rhythms from which the language of this dance is constructed. Strong arresting moments of high physicality give way to elusive intimacies… an impressive achievement.
Sue Healey's passion for the idea of space permeates this subtle and enthralling work. Programme notes give us a key, suggesting that the fine lines and boundaries between the extremes of our experience are fragile at best. Our most delicate and desperate dreams are the source of the tensions and rhythms from which the language of this dance is constructed. Strong arresting moments of high physicality give way to elusive intimacies; connections dissolve into withdrawals, playfulness into gravity. And there is much more. The almost tangible spaces and places suggested by the fine lines of white cord which define the performing space become a world of separate realms. One imagines walls or windows, corners and hiding places - a niche for every fragile hope or fear, spaces inviting the imagination to enter. Indeed, the design for this work, created by Healey in collaboration with Michael Pearce is a powerful element in the coherent aesthetic which plays with perspective like a renaissance painting. But this is a three dimensional physical space, not a virtual one created in two dimensions; the sense of looking into another reality is evoked by a clever use of simple design combined with an unerring sense of timing and proportion. Darrin Verhagen's electronic score, like Louise Curham's delicate projections seems to flicker in and out of this imagined world for both are perfectly tuned to the sensibility of the whole. It is a world of spatial structures at once both static and fluid, spare and complex - the dancers emerge from it and are absorbed by it; we look through it and into a distance created by delicately contrived relationships between the dancers and the intricate ebb and flow of movement and stillness through spaces which are defined by their presence or absence in a shifting landscape of light and sound.
Sue Healey gives full credit to the collaboration she receives from her dancers, all of whom look as if they truly 'own' the work. This takes a special kind of choreographer and a process that involves the dancers at every stage of creation. Their commitment to the work is palpable and among this elite group of five the work of Shona Erskine deserves special mention. Fine Line Terrain is the fifth in a series which has evolved from the short film Niche, in which she was the solo performer. Her fine articulation and expressive presence are potent elements in the current work and her valuable collaboration in the development of the series is generously acknowledged by the choreographer. The Niche Series, a years-long work that traverses film, black box, installation, and international collaboration is an 'investigation of the choreographed body and its intricate occupation of space.' It is an impressive achievement.
An outstanding feature of the festival was Fine Line Terrain by visiting expat Sue Healey from Sydney. Her work explored the fragile spaces of individual lives and the boundary lines in relationships. A black walled set contained two geometric constructions of vertical and horizontal fine white cord. At various times these became cages, walls, playthings and communication lines for the dancers. Dressed in combinations of vivid pinks, orange, purple and green, the three women and two men danced in rectangles of spotlight. Healey's attention to detail is something not seen in New Zealand. Hands were splayed gecko-like on walls, and fingers finely etched space or wrote an invisible language on other dancers' bodies. She used arcs from shoulder and hip, sudden high kicks and rare, breathtaking leaps. The middle section was more optimistic, with sensual, tender and playful moments. The lines became a group cat's cradle, then a dangerous snare. Gradually, the white lines were deconstructed as the group became more chaotic and frenetic. It was sensitive and beautiful. We should see more of Healey's remarkable choreography.
