Session Notes: Spooky Men's Chorale
The Practical Craft Of Recording
By Sam Inglis
We find out whether a unique choir and a unique church will prove a match made in heaven.
It is a truth universally acknowledged, as Jane Austen didn't write, that an SOS team in possession of a 16-piece male voice choir must be in want of a church to record them in. And although our custodianship of the Spooky Men's Chorale was, alas, only temporary, we weren't going to pass up the opportunity to point a few microphones at them.
Founded and led by New Zealand-born maestro Stephen Taberner, the Spooky Men are a unique musical phenomenon. As well as the Georgian folk music that inspired their creation, they're equally happy singing Tennyson or the Beach Boys, and their eclectic repertoire and uproarious performance style have made them a hugely popular live attraction. We last encountered them in the pages of SOS back in March 2016, when Mike Crofts explained how he got a good live sound in Oxford's acoustically challenging Sheldonian Theatre.
On this year's tour, the choir had two successive shows local to SOS Towers with some time off inbetween. And since they like nothing better than a busman's holiday, they were only too keen to come and sing for us. From my point of view as engineer, meanwhile, I was hoping for an opportunity to try out a mic technique I'd been cooking up, as well as a venue that had the potential to prove very interesting.
The small Cambridgeshire village of Swaffham Prior is unusual in having two churches next door to one another. With today's congregation not needing such a wealth of facilities, one of these is now in the hands of the Churches Conservation Trust, and anyone who visits would surely agree that it's well worth conserving. Dedicated to the heroically obscure St Cyriac and St Julitta, it was rebuilt in Jane Austen's day to an unusual square, open layout and faced throughout in plain stone and plaster, giving it a reverberation that is out of all proportion to its relatively modest size. Happily, it's also available to hire at a very modest fee!
From the audio engineer's point of view, I discovered that the church has one major deficiency. The interior is completely open, and although there are a couple of walled-off spaces that have been repurposed as a kitchen and a store cupboard, these have no ceiling. In most location recording venues, it's possible to find some sort of space that can be pressed into service as a control room isolated from the main recording area, but not here.
When the recording area itself has such a distinctive and strong acoustic, this is far from ideal. Critical judgements of mic placement and so forth are hard to get right on headphones alone, while if your monitor speakers are set up within the recording space, there's a risk of spill onto the mics, and it becomes very hard to discern how much of the reverberation you're hearing is on the recording and how much is being added on playback. It being Summer, I even toyed with the idea of setting up my speakers outdoors. However, this would have meant keeping the exterior doors open, and thus letting in the noise of traffic and light aircraft, so in the end I opted for a table within the entrance hall. I also dragged a large screen out of the store cupboard, but this made very little difference apart from obscuring my view.
Placing the choir at the other end of the church at least meant there was minimal risk of spill from my speakers onto the church if I forgot to mute them during recording. It also meant I got full use of the 30-metre snake and 50-metre mic cables I'd brought along — location recording so often seems to require much longer cable runs than studio work. Perhaps surprisingly, it also necessitated setting up a talkback speaker to relay my voice to the band. In such a reverberant acoustic, the distance was enough to make direct speech almost unintelligible. However, with no need for click tracks or backing parts, none of them required any headphone foldback during recording.
The Robjohns Array
Like SOS's Technical Editor Hugh Robjohns, I'm a big fan of the SoundField microphone; and in discussion with Hugh, it transpired that we have independently developed the same way of using it, for completely different reasons. The basic principle of the Robjohns Array is to set up a spaced pair of omnidirectional small-diaphragm mics with the SoundField mic in the middle (and, in my version at least, somewhat further forward). I don't suppose anyone reading this will be surprised to learn that the reasoning behind this arrangement is a bit more purist on Hugh's part than on mine. As I understand it, Hugh's idea is to use the SoundField for main pickup above 600Hz or so, with the spaced omnis supplying the bass and low mid-range. Provided the SoundField is decoded so as to match the stereo recording angle of the omnis, this arrangement should yield a recording that combines the main benefits of both: the sharp, precise stereo imaging of the SoundField and the deep, wide bottom end of the omnis.
The Robjohns Array, consisting of spaced omni small-diaphragm capacitor mics (in this case, MBHO 603 bodies with KA100 DK diffuse-field capsules) either side of my SoundField ST450 MkII.My own motivation came from another location choir session, where I was asked to supply recordings that could be mixed in surround for a film soundtrack, and the film's sound mixer wanted more options than the SoundField alone could provide. It was not practical to set up a surround monitoring system on location, and I didn't want to use a surround-specific array such as a Fukada Tree without being able to properly hear the results. It occurred to me that something resembling a miniature Decca Tree with the SoundField as a centre mic, along with a pair of distant ambient mics, could be positioned while monitoring only in stereo, but would provide plenty of surround mixing options too. It would also mean that I could err on the generous side in the spacing of the omni mics: the SoundField could fill in any hole in the middle of the stereo image, or be used to provide the centre mic channel in a surround mix, if desired.
Assuming you get the spacing roughly right, this sort of array also gives the option to set up a straight shootout between coincident and spaced arrays, and I thought the Spooky Men sessions would provide an interesting point of comparison from this aspect. Given the strength of the acoustic, I wasn't expecting to need distant mics as well, but as I had spare channels at hand, I put up a pair of the excellent Samar VL37 ribbons just in case.
The last thing you want on a session like this is to have 16 singers hanging around for hours while the engineer sets up. At the same time, however, I didn't want to force the Spooky Men into standing in a formation they wouldn't have chosen themselves, so I set all my main mics up on a single stand that could easily be moved once they'd settled into place.
In the event, the Spooky Men arranged themselves naturally into a wide 'square bracket' shape, with Stephen conducting in a conventional central position. Placing the main arrays more or less above his head meant that they needed to 'see' a recording angle of perhaps 150 degrees; as best I could tell from my rather inadequate monitoring position, a spacing of 50cm between the MBHO omni mics I was using gave a full stereo image without leaving a noticeable hole.
In terms of wet/dry balance, the strength of the acoustic meant that any placement would be well into the diffuse field, but what was noticeable on the group's warm-ups was a particularly rich bloom at the low end. After we'd recorded the first song, a version of the traditional 'Pallet On The Floor', I moved the Spooky Men and the mics a few yards towards the centre of the church to try to moderate this a little, but without a reliable monitor setup, it was hard to tell what difference this made. Moving them right to the other end of the church, in front of my monitoring position, might have controlled this better, but in the end I decided against disrupting the session any further.
When it comes to getting good results from a recording session, the engineer sometimes needs to take quite an assertive role in order to get things done, but at other times, you need to follow rather than lead. The Spooky Men presented an unusual group dynamic from this point of view. On the one hand, they are a vastly experienced outfit who know exactly what they're doing. On the other, the temptation to butt in and jolly them along was sometimes very strong! Individual Spooky Men were constantly disappearing to visit the toilet or post excited updates on Facebook, and large amounts of time were spent milling about in conversation. Yet, somehow, whenever they were ready to do a take, everything would suddenly snap into sharp focus and they'd deliver a spine-tinglingly intense performance with little or no warning.
More than once I found myself scrambling to hit the Record button in time, and I was completely caught out when they launched into a thunderous Georgian piece called 'Svanetian Round Dance'. Suddenly the masses of headroom I'd left for the earlier tunes were obliterated, and I watched nervously as my peak meters hovered in the yellow before finally clipping during the yell that ended the piece. And, of course, that was the only take.
As the session went on, I realised that Stephen and the rest of the Spooky Men were actually getting things done in a much more efficient way than would be apparent to the casual observer. They listened closely to speaker playback of each take, identifying tuning and timing discrepancies that I would never have spotted myself, and adapted their subsequent performances in response, often recording short individual sections to patch up an otherwise good take. The result was that although there were lengthy gaps between takes, very little actual singing time was wasted. At the end of the afternoon, we went away knowing that we had five songs recorded, with edits done and takes chosen — and the Chorale hadn't worn out their voices prior to that evening's gig.
Spookmeister Stephen Taberner (standing) and yours truly tackle an awkward edit from my not-exactly-optimal engineer's position. The screen looked pretty but didn't help to create an isolated monitoring environment!
Meanwhile, Back At The Studio
There's always a sense of trepidation about what you'll hear when you first play back a location recording in the more revealing confines of the control room. In this case, my main concern was that low-end bloom, but thankfully, that didn't turn out to be too much of an issue even on 'Pallet', and moving the Spooky Men towards the centre of the church had indeed toned it down. However, it was noticeable that more low end had been captured on the spaced omnis than on the SoundField; on the quieter songs, the omnis benefited from a shelving cut of about 1dB from 350Hz downwards. The SoundField was rather leaner, and true to Hugh's experience, sounded rather less spacious at the low end, so on his advice, I boosted the Sides component of the decoded SoundField signal below 400Hz or so, which made a clear improvement. The tonal balance of the choir also changed radically when they performed the rousing 'Svanetian Round Dance', to the point where I actually needed a fairly large bass boost to help it fit with the other tracks.
The SoundField comes with a portable control unit which supplies power to the mic and contains a closely matched four-channel preamp. It also features a simple B-format decoder, but since I was recording the B-format signal for later decoding in software, this was not used on the Spooky Men session.One of the best features of the SoundField is that, as long as you record the four-channel B-format signal, you can adjust the direction, polar patterns and mutual angles after the fact so as to recreate any coincident mic array pointing anywhere. All of these parameters can be set very precisely, allowing the virtual mics to be directed much more accurately than would ever be possible with physical microphones. So although I initially preferred the sound of the spaced omnis, by carefully tweaking the decoder settings I was eventually able to achieve what seemed a more solid and coherent stereo picture from the SoundField, with a more up-front and lively sound.
The most mysterious SoundField decoding parameter is called Zoom, which is said to allow you to "zoom in on sound sources". Its effects are not always very predictable, but broadly speaking, it seems to make whatever's in the centre of the stereo field more or less present in the mix, almost as if that person or instrument was to move closer or further away. I found that a moderate positive Zoom setting worked well in most of the tracks, bringing the body of the choir forward slightly and adding some immediacy and substance to the proceedings. However, there was also a version of Tom Waits' 'Picture In A Frame', which featured Dave Warren as a soloist standing in front of the choir. In this case, the Zoom control acted almost like a fader on Dave's voice, as if there had been a close mic on him — and since I had in fact had a close mic on him, turning the Zoom control down into the negative range meant that the two weren't fighting.
Having processed both the SoundField and the omni pairs to sound as good as I thought I could make them, I closely level-matched the two and bounced out separate mixes for the Spooky Men to audition. Everyone who heard them expressed a clear preference for the SoundField over the omnis. I did briefly try combining the two, but since there wasn't really a noticeable hole in the middle of the omnis, this didn't seem to achieve anything other than muddying the waters. Probably the benefits of a centre mic in a spaced array are only really tangible if you make the spacing much wider, as is the case with the classic Decca Tree.
Encouragingly, Stephen and his fellow Spooky Men liked the performances and recordings well enough to want to release them, which left me needing to carry out a quick and dirty mastering job. The Chorale are emphatically not operating in the world of classical music where dynamic range is king, and having auditioned a couple of tracks from their recent album Warm, it was clear that some heavy lifting would be needed to get my recordings up to the same sort of level. This wasn't a problem for quieter tunes such as 'Pallet On The Floor', where all that was required was a tiny amount of limiting to catch occasional peaks, and some gentle top-end shelving boost to add gloss. However, it left me very little room to work with on 'Svanetian Round Dance'; it still sounded mighty impressive even after quite a bit of compression and limiting, but the thrill of the huge dynamic contrast between that and the other songs was a bit lost. One day my children will ask "Daddy, what did you do in the loudness wars?", and I won't be able to look them in the eye.

The People's Republic of China under the leadership of Xi Jinping is undergoing rapid changes at the present time. The nature of these changes was evident during the 19th Party Congress of 2017 and unfolded swiftly thereafter. This volume, produced by a group of 25 China experts of India associated with ICS, offers a detailed examination of Xi Jinping's initiatives in the context of what was proclaimed as a 'new era'.
In this endearing book on China, ICS Emeritus Fellow, Tan Chung distills tons of information about China's historical evolution and complex vicissitudes in a freewheeling style, advocating that China is a "civilization country" that has existed for more than two millennia but the nation-state world interrupted the Chinese odyssey for many centuries.
The book predicts about the most likely next theaters of war for India which are its northern and north-western mountain frontiers. These disputed borders with china, and the perpetually tense 'NO WAR ON PEACE' and simmering low intensity perpetual war situation with Pakistan along the line of control (LOC) and the so-called Actual Ground Position Line (AGPL), are physically held on to by India at great cost in men and material. A constant heavy military deployment on these mountain borders has become the norm for India.
This volume is an attempt to develop a more nuanced understanding of China`s foreign, security and economic policies by bringing together perspectives from two of its most important neighbours, India and Vietnam.
This book focuses on the nature of ethno-national conflicts and impacts of ideological orientation of the Communist Party of China (CPC) towards the national question in the context of Han nationalism and political, economic and security policies towards Xinjiang. Violence in Xinjiang since the mid-1990s is projected as one of the major national security challenges for China, along with issues pertaining to Tibet and Taiwan.
Our current era can be described as the beginning of a new, historical phase of the 'Anthropocene'age, where humans are becoming increasingly conscious of the effects of their actions on nature,culture, and human relationships. As the first section shows, this realisation is acquiring greater significance in current development discourse and policymaking, particularly in Asia, Africa, and Latin America. The fate of the human species rests on a sustainable collaboration with nature, as is apparent by the impact of climate change on food, energy, and water.

WHY WE BUILD SCHOOLS: Far Away Friends is an organization committed to ending educational poverty, which we believe begins in the classroom. Through our school builds, we envision educating and empowering the next generation of global citizens.
HOW WE BUILD SCHOOLS: Our team works closely with key community members in country to identify a need for quality primary education. We then ask the community to donate land and source up to 50% of the materials and labor needed to complete the structure. Once the foundation is poured, Far Away Friends (USA) collects donations to complete the building and help fund the first year of operations.
As one of the most remote villages in Northern Uganda with low access to quality education, many children in Namasale become trapped in a cycle of generational poverty. Due to the lack of local and high-quality schooling, Namasale remains part of one of the least-educated districts in all of Uganda. So many children in this community have never had access to quality education in their own village. That's why we partnered with the community to build the first Global Leaders Day & Boarding Primary School.
Since our opening in March 2016, we have been enrolling students at Global Leaders on a daily basis. With access to an affordable and local primary school within the village, parents now feel confident knowing their children are receiving the highest quality education from motivated teachers in a beautiful learning environment. More kids in school means a brighter future for the community as a whole and a chance for children to escape the cycle of generational poverty.

PRODUCT DESCRIPTION: Heavy gauge steel, about 20 gauge, which is 15 inches long with a 4 inch diameter. The trap features a crushing type mechanism located in the middle of the pipe. When set, the pipe appears to be hollow. The trip pan is located in the middle of the tube and when the target animal moves over it, the jaws of the trap move up and crush the animal to the side of the pipe. It works quickly and effectively. An added advantage is that the animal remains inside the pipe barely noticeable after it is killed. Also, the Pipe Trap is easy to hide in the landscape. Just use some pine straw or other natural part of the landscape and as long as you keep both holes visible and above the ground, target animals will find it.
TARGET ANIMALS: Squirrels, ground squirrels, prairie dogs, gophers, chipmunks, rabbits and more.
WHERE TO USE IT: Alongside trees, around ground cover or along trails you know target animals are using. Such trails may be on a roof tops, in an attics or in a hole through a fence you know they use. If you have observed the targeted animal using a rain down spout to climb up and onto a roof top, simply place the trap in front of the downspout for a quick kill.
RATE OF APPLICATION: Use one trap for every 1-10 animals you think you need to catch. Also, use one teaspoon of bait per set to help get the targeted animal inside the trap faster.
Comments on PIPE TRAP 15" X 4"
Hello, I would like to purchase 3 traps from you. However, my sole purpose to to kill Brown tree snakes in Guam. Do you think these traps will be effective for the snakes?
We've had people use them for snakes effectively for large snakes with no modifications needed. Now since I don't know how big the snakes are you want to catch so I don't know if it will work "out of the box". But if you watch the video below, you'll see we use a small piece of PVC to set the trap off and this PVC is just thick enough to be "caught" so if your target snakes are in this range size wise, they should work fine.
But if the snakes you want to catch are smaller, you can modify the clasping metal bars inside the trap by adding small pieces of wood or other material to effectively narrow the gap between the bars and the tube. The reason the gap is set where it is now is so when squirrels are caught, they aren't "squished" to such a point that they make a mess. But for something real skinny like a snake, making the gap smaller might be needed to insure the trap holds them in place.
The second thing you may want to do is lighten the trigger setting. This can be done by lubricating it and "rounding" the catch edge with a file so it will take less movement over the internal trigger to release the latch.
In summary, if the snakes you are targeting are wider than the PVC pipe used to set off the trap in the video below, the trap will most likely work as is without modifications.
But if you need to have it work on smaller sized snakes, narrowing the gap between the jaws and the tube will help as will subtle trigger latch adjustments to lighten the amount of weight or motion needed to release the trigger.
Will this catch rabbits ?? How to bait for rabbits ?
It will work for rabbits. Not all species but common cottontails typically won't grow too big to enter so it will work for most any cottontail. Especially since they like entering tight spaces like what this trap presents. Get some of the rabbit lure (link is above) to help get them to enter.
Works Great! This is my second trap, the first one worked very well for years. Great for controlling those terrible squirrels.
Works Well! Received the trap and caught two squirrels the same day. Sunflower seeds seems to work well as bait.
The tube is very sturdy and the spring mechanism is very strong. Being made of steel, it rusts very easily and you need to coat it with something (camo paint works well).
It would have been nice to have a simple instruction book/page. Couldn't figure out what the extra "hook" was for next to the trigger because it was bent backwards. Came to realize it was a safety catch for the spring – which is very useful.

Graham said medical events like the one that caused Mr. Miller's death on March 11 "tend to occur suddenly."
Mr. Miller's mother, Heather, and friends of the Centennial sophomore have said that he had been the victim of bullying in the past.
In an April 9 story for The News-Gazette, Heather Miller wrote: "All of us are hurting at the loss of Luke — his family, friends and the community. There are a lot of unknowns at this time. There is no doubt that Luke was bullied, but to the extent of if it causing his passing is yet to be determined. We ask that the community not pass on rumors, generate hate or point fingers."
Graham's ruling comes more than three months after Mr. Miller, a standout archer, died at Barnes-Jewish Hospital in St. Louis. He was rushed there after feeling ill on the morning of his death and being taken to Carle Foundation Hospital in Urbana.
In May, in an appearance on WDWS' "Penny for Your Thoughts," Champaign County State's Attorney Julia Rietz said preliminary information about Mr. Miller's death indicated that there was nothing to suggest a crime occurred.

Welcome to Lebanon, the country notorious for celebratory gunfire, the country where everyone and their mother is a public figure or a social media influencer, and also the country where almost everyone is proudly a trilingual.
I've been updating my Instagram consistently but making it a point to ignore browsing through it, because every time I read captions, I cringe.
I get it, not everyone is fluent in English, and not everyone is a grammar enthusiast, so I think the problem lies in me? I don't know.
Anyway, below are a few atrocities I lately came across.
We say "Congratulations", even if you are congratulating one person. You're welcome.
What's the point of a Hashtag if you're going to get it wrong? It's even worse when it's an ad or a sponsored post where the so called influencer (you can't see me, but I'm having a serious eye rolling moment right now) had one job!
No, You can't use #TBT for Mondays or #FBF for Wednesdays.
No, I am not interested in wearing a Givanchy dress (face palm), a pair of Converce sneakers (Oh dear Lord), or a Ralf Lauren Tshirt (Please make it stop!). And no, just because it tells the time, it's not called TAGHeure, so please do your homework!
What is it about Social Media that irritates you?

The Comic Villain Principle
Tim Ferguson December 24, 2020 October 31, 2021
The flipside to the hope principle relates to antagonists and is comprised of the following elements: a villain is impeded by a minor obstacle. He overreacts and is doubly punished as a result.
The no-hoper principle complies with the law of inverse significance: comic characters attribute vast importance to trivial things, and treat important things as trivial. When a comic villain is impeded only slightly, he reacts with all the force at his disposal. These characters never doubt that their bomb-to- kill-a-bug technique will succeed, even though, hidden in the bomb cloud, the bug frequently escapes to fight another day.
An example is the comic villain who slips on a freshly mopped floor. Rising to his feet, he notices a sign marked 'Caution—slippery floor'. Angry, he kicks the sign, loses his balance and falls on his arse again—harder.
At any stage, the villain could stop, think and consider the risks. He could choose to tread carefully over the wet floor, wait for it to dry or avoid it entirely. But he's a villain. Whether through self-importance, impatience, control- freakdom, anger management issues or any other evildoer shortcoming, the comic villain consistently defies and underestimates obstacles. This mindset is not based upon hope but upon ego. Comic villains cannot see their own deficiencies.
This principle can work in a broader narrative arc. The villainous Sheriff of Rottingham is frustrated when his wooing of Maid Marion is interrupted by Robin Hood. In the real world, the sheriff would get the girl easily. He's rich, powerful, educated and handsome, while Robin is a penniless vagabond who lives in a tree.
DAAS characters
'Wayne Kerr, Spinner & Paddlefoot'
However, instead of adopting a more personable demeanour that might attract Marion, the Sheriff overreacts. He tries to slaughter Robin and his Merry Men In Tights. Fool! He not only loses Marion, but his life (Robin Hood: Men In Tights).
Like the hope principle, the no-hoper principle tends to define the story- driving characters. Secondary antagonists tend to act with more moderation. A villain's sidekick, for example, may advise caution. In Jay Roach and Mike Myers' Goldmember, Number Two initially advises against Dr Evil's scheme to produce sharks with lasers attached to their heads. As they are an endangered species he will have to make do with ill-tempered sea bass.
Because secondary antagonists tend to be more even-tempered they often escape the retribution visited upon their masters. Number Two never receives the punishment his master suffers. Perhaps his name is enough.
APPLYING THE NO-HOPER PRINCIPLE
If your villain isn't working, either in a scene or throughout the story, check them against the no-hoper principle. Your villain might be:
Too wise. He should be blinded in some way by his ambition.
Too patient. Though he may have waited calmly for his chance, when he does act he should do so without precision and with overwhelming force. Villains lash out with their eyes wide shut.
Despite this it should be clear that the villain is a credible threat and could with care and planning easily attain his goal. For example, Dr Evil in Austin Powers: International Man of Mystery (by Mike Myers) is a multi-millionaire with weapons of mass-destruction. Comic bad guys are undone as much by their personal flaws and limited world view as by the hapless protagonist.

Jim Henry's wife & mother enter heaven in 5-day span

Jeanette Henry shares in a celebration of her husband Jim's 28 years as pastor of First Baptist Church in Orlando, Fla., prior to his retirement there in 2006.

ORLANDO, Fla. (BP) -- In five days, Jim Henry has witnessed the homegoing of his wife Jeanette and mother Kathryn.
Jeanette, 79, died today (Feb. 4) in the early morning hours in Orlando, Fla.; Kathryn, 100, died Thursday, Jan. 31, in Nashville.
Jim Henry was president of the Southern Baptist Convention from 1994-1996; pastor of First Baptist Church in Orlando from 1977 until his retirement in 2006, or what he called his "redeployment"; and pastor of Downtown Baptist Church in Orlando from 2015 until recently.
Jeanette Henry was honored by the Southern Baptist Ministers' Wives Conference during the 2002 SBC annual meeting in St. Louis, receiving the Willie Turner Dawson Award for "distinct denominational contribution beyond the local church."
In a March 2006 celebration honoring the 28 years she and Jim served at First Baptist Orlando, an endowment in her name was announced to assist pastors' wives in attending the Florida Baptist State Convention's annual meeting.
Henry, in his 2006 retirement from First Baptist Orlando, cited two reasons. One, he wanted to spend more time with Jeanette who had faced health problems in recent years.
"She's been a great trooper. I want to give her what she so richly deserves," Henry said.
Two, Henry said he didn't want to stay at the church "until I was so tired and spent that I had nothing left to give back to the next generation of leadership."
Steve Smith, who served as First Baptist's communications pastor from 1994-2007, said Jeanette Henry was "one of the most gracious ladies I've known, and she had a great sense of humor. Though a consummate southern lady from Kentucky, she was also a 'tell-it-like-it-is' person. She didn't mince words. She loved and supported Jim's ministry as a devoted wife and mother to their children and grandchildren."
Smith, now communications minister at the Nashville-area Brentwood Baptist Church, recounted "the privilege of producing a video of Jim's and Jeanette's life story as part of Jim's 'redeployment' from First Baptist Orlando. That experience provided me an intimate look at their lives and their families. Their devotion to one another through the tougher times and in the best of times was so evident.
"That video project also included traveling to Nashville to interview Jim's precious mother, Kathryn," Smith said. "At that time, she would have been about 87 years old and was still living alone in her own home, not far from the Opryland Hotel where she had worked in a retail shop well into her 80s. It was evident where Jim Henry had gotten his good genes, as he, now in his 80s, is a picture of health and vitality."
In addition to her husband, Jeanette Henry is survived by three children, Kate Campbell, Betsy de Armas and Jim; five grandchildren and five great-grandchildren.

Kathryn Henry, in addition to her son Jim, is survived by another son, Joe; five grandchildren; 11 great-grandchildren; and five great-great-grandchildren.
Kathryn Henry, according to a family obituary, was a native of Robertson County, Tenn., who accepted Jesus as her personal Savior at age 9 "and had the unique joy of being baptized with her father" at Hopewell Baptist Church.
In church, she worked in Sunday School with students and was a church secretary at First Baptist in Nashville and Eastland and Dalewood Baptist churches.
The funeral service for Jeanette Henry will be at 1 p.m. Saturday, Feb. 16, in the worship center of First Baptist Orlando, followed by a reception. Visitation will be from 6-9 p.m. Friday, Feb. 15, at First Baptist's Henry Chapel.
In lieu of flowers, the family has requested gifts to the First Academy student scholarship fund at First Baptist; the Jeanette Henry Ministers Wives Endowment Fund care of the First Orlando Foundation; and the Henry-Sturgeon Presidential Scholarship at Gateway Seminary in Ontario, Calif.
The funeral service for Kathryn Henry will be at 10:30 a.m. Saturday, Feb. 9, at First Baptist Church in Hendersonville, Tenn. Visitation will be from 6-9 p.m. Friday, Feb. 8, at Spring Hill Cemetery in Nashville.
In lieu of flowers memorial gifts for Kathryn Henry can be made to the Henry-Sturgeon Presidential Scholarship at Gateway Seminary and the missions ministry at First Baptist Church in Hendersonville.

Q: How to block a button in qml in a cpp file? I want to block a button in a qml file when my function in cpp is called.
How can I do this?

A: you have a button and lets say you are using qml and c++ you can interact between them as in de doc explained
then you can invoke the `setProperty` method

// Using QQmlComponent
QQmlEngine engine;
QQmlComponent component(&engine,
        QUrl::fromLocalFile("MyItem.qml"));
QObject *object = component.create();
object->setProperty("width", 500);
...
delete object;

A: In your c++ function you can emit signal of class, which should be visible in QML too:
void yourFunction() {
    emit yourClassInstance.nameOfSignal;
}

You can register your class in QML:
engine->rootContext()->setContextProperty(<Name of your class in qml>, <reference to instance of your class>);

After that you can use Connection to connect signal from your c++ class to js function like that:
Connection {
   target: <Name of your class in qml>

   onNameOfSignal: {
       // Disable button here
   }
}
