"Sirtaki dance was an ancient Greek"
Sirtaki was created in 1964 for the film Zorba the Greek, since the original steps of Greek folk dances were too difficult for the protagonist of Anthony Quinn (1915-2001). It is still related to the ancient Greek dances as Sirte and Hasapikos. The soundtrack for Zorba the Greek and Ancient Sirtaki was made by Mikis Theodorakis (born 1925) - renowned composer and fighter of the Resistance.

Affiliation at the time of the award: University of Colorado, JILA, Boulder, CO, USA
Prize motivation: "for the achievement of Bose-Einstein condensation in dilute gases of alkali atoms, and for early fundamental studies of the properties of the condensates."
One of the fundamental numbers in the world of quantum mechanics is the spin quantum number. Particles and atoms that have whole-number spin are described by other rules and equations than those that have half-number spin. Satyendra Nath Bose and Albert Einstein predicted in 1924 that at very low temperatures atoms with whole-number spin would be able to concentrate themselves in the lowest energy state and form a Bose-Einstein condensate. In 1995 Eric Cornell and Carl Wieman succeeded in proving the phenomenon in a rarefied gas of rubidium atoms at an extremely low temperature.

Connolly Music Company Acquires Magic Rosin® Brand
Posted by Jake Connolly on Apr 20, 2017 8:00:00 AM
Press Release - April 20, 2017
EAST NORTHPORT, NY — Connolly Music, the leading U.S. source for world-class music products, recently acquired boutique company Magic Rosin, contributing to its line-up of distinctive orchestral music products.
Magic Rosin is premium rosin used for violin, viola, cello, and bass. Formulated from premium grade pure pine resins, Magic Rosin provides superior grip for a clean, complex tone desired by professional musicians and students alike. The rosin comes in two formulas – 3G and Ultra – both provide a tremendous grip, with Ultra delivering the strongest grade of grip. Magic Rosin also produces minimal dust and has no hidden ingredients that can be hazardous to instruments and players.
Magic Rosin was invented and developed by professional cellist and teacher Sarah West in 2010. From her Minneapolis home, West hand-poured all Magic Rosin at home until spring of 2012, when she moved production to a small commercial workshop. Her search for a grippier-than-average rosin led her to develop formulas that have an almost transparent appearance. While the formulas West developed are professional-grade, they created a whole new concept — visual rosin. "I come from an artistic background and spent years making glass beads," stated West. "When I realized the formula was almost clear, creating designs for the rosin was really fun and a natural development."
Currently, Magic Rosin has more than 70 fun and attractive designs, from sparkles and holograms to art and animal images, and even a glow-in-the-dark rosin. Ordering custom rosin designs is also available with school or orchestra logos as well as favorite images – which make great gifts or souvenirs.
With Connolly acquiring the brand, it will distribute the product more widely through music stores and provide customer support. "We are thrilled to have Magic Rosin as a member of the Connolly family of best-in-class brands," states Jake Connolly, President of Connolly Music Company. "Sarah has created a truly superior rosin that also delights musicians with their uniquely enchanting designs. We're delighted to bring this inspired boutique line to more string musicians throughout the world."
ABOUT CONNOLLY MUSIC

A job Interview Q& What Are Your Goals for the Future
Trump enjoys all sorts of meat and because meatloaf is basically meat without a fiber or roughage, there's absolutely no reason for it to not make it in the president's cherished collection of food items. Several have called Trump a narcissist, but Loudon claims that is not always a terrible thing. Trump said, Ivanka is a wonderful, wonderful beauty. He has always been a big winner there. Men and women who have worked together with Trump's kids say they handle the specifics of several of their supplier's deals and jobs. Twenty-five decades before, Donald Trump had achieved no tiny measure of achievement. He's known now as one of the top businessmen in the USA. The loan portfolio has become the most obvious candidate to proceed, but nevertheless, it would be debatable. But in the long term, I chose property was a substantially greater business.
Children can make seasonal textbooks that show the words, show forms, songs, and page sounds.
You can not eliminate these loans. Undergraduate federal student loans exist as a result of a business failuremost students wouldn't be in a place to locate student loans at a purely private sector. In organization, government, sports, and a lot of different arenas, folks will develop with a outstanding deal of self-serving and obnoxious behavior on the section of narcissists provided the narcissists always perform at elevated rates. Among the main features of the status US President is the maximum degree of education of the individual occupying the suitable position. As of 2018, he's the President of the usa. So in case the government ceased giving loans out, a great deal of people would not be in a position to manage to see faculty and a great deal of schools would be made to close or substantially downsize. Therefore it would in fact have to pay lenders to have the possibility of this portfolio. Donald Trump's official college transcripts aren't available, therefore it is an impossible undertaking to know his actual scholastic aptitude scores.
A private growth strategy design that is good involves five ways that show you to do this.
Authoritarian Personality Syndrome Authoritarianism identifies the advocacy or enforcement of strict obedience to authority at the cost of private freedom, and is generally related to too little concern for all those remarks or needs of other people. You will find exdrill sergeants all around the region. But, Melania grew up in a really different nation to the United States of america. Maybe it's, in a minumum of one sense. For Obama, there's a feeling of wonder but also confusion about his place on online essay writer reviews the planet. Which may not be bad, dependent on the perspective. While it can be associated with psychology, it doesn't seem to be the a region of mental study for the aims of licensure, he explained. Research demonstrates that individuals low in agreeableness are usually viewed as untrustworthy.
For instance, "in the lubeck neighborhood around 9:30 p.m.
The survey demonstrated that the election Trump had a negative impact on the climate inside the enormous bulk of the country's schools. You're very likely to see me early next calendar year, plus we're inclined to be at a spot where we could begin cooking up a wide range of excellent stuff. It's been reported for decades which Trump graduated in the very top of his group, yet that this claim was called into question. The latter is not simple to measure, because there's very little oversight over spending, the PPIC stated. Loudon's decisions have a caveat. There's no evidence it has any on Trump. Now we answer on such a question. That is a normal question when attempting to maintain a tab on the goings-on of all America's 45th president.

Q: Pushing new date to ember javascript array I am creating a basic ember app with javascript object arrays(Don't want to use anything else until I get a firm grasp).  I am having trouble
implementing functionality to add new users. I'm not sure what to add to my controller.
In the template:
<form {{action 'add-student' on="submit"}}>
{{input id="add-student" type="text" placeholder="student name"  value=name}}
<button class="btn btn-default" type="submit">Add</button>
</form>

My students route:
import Ember from 'ember';
 var students = [{
  id: 1,
  name: 'John',

}, {
  id: 2,
  name: 'Vanessa'
}];

export default Ember.Route.extend({
  model() {
    return students;
  }
});

A: For route you might want something like this. Using Ember.RSVP.hash it allows you to return 1-n properties from model.
export default Ember.Route.extend({
  model() {
    const store = this.get('store');
    return Ember.RSVP.hash({
        students: Ember.A([
          store.createRecord('student', { name: 'Vanessa'})
        ]),
        someOtherModelThing: store.find('xx')
    })
  }
});

In the template you would want something like this.
{{input type="text" value=name}}

<button class="btn btn-default" {{action "addNewStudent" name}}>Add</button>

And to handle addNewStudent you would need to write an action in controller.
...

    actions: {
       addNewStudent(studentName) {
          const store = this.get('store');
          var newStudent = store.createRecord('student', {name: studentName});
          this.get('model.students').pushObject(newStudent);
       }
    }

...

And if you're also looking to save them you might wanna have save button with an action 'saveStudents'.
saveStudents: function() {
   return Ember.RSVP.all(this.get('model.students').invoke('save'))
}

Showing the list of students in the template.
{{#each model.students as |student|}}
    <p> {{student.name}}
{{/each}}

All of this can be achieved without using ember-data (store.createRecord etc..). using plain JSON and Ajax to save data.

ASU redshirt junior linebacker Khaylan Kearse-Thomas (20) tackles Michigan State sophomore wide receiver Cody White (7) in Tempe, Arizona, on Saturday, Sept. 9, 2018.
Smith was suspended for the first three weeks of the season due to a unspecified coach's decision.
Smith ran for 45 yards on 12 carries as he played against mainly a 10-man front. Smith said his performance knocked away the jitters and butterflies, but he knows that his performance was not his best.
"I felt like I could have done way better especially with the little things like covering the ball and just playing smart," Smith said.
Smith fumbled the ball twice, turning it over once to the Huskies. It was the first time in two years that an ASU running back has lost a fumble.
Running backs coach John Simon said he thought Smith played really well, but the two fumbles were critical in a close lose to Washington.
"I thought he performed very well, the two fumbles takes away from your performance," Simon said. "There's no such thing as a (good) performance when you fumble the ball twice."
Smith started to become a rotation player early in the first quarter after sophomore running back Eno Benjamin carried the ball 10 times.
"I don't want a running back as a sophomore to end up taking 40 to 50 carries," Simon said. "I have to make sure he's fresh and ready to go in the fourth quarter."
Benjamin's rest gave Smith an opportunity to showcase his talent and fight for the backup role after his first game of the season.
The game plan was to work on the running game early on and allow Benjamin, Smith and redshirt sophomore running back Isaiah Floyd each a chance to get carries.
The running game seemed like a big focus as the team struggled to find anything on the ground against San Diego State University (36 rush yards). The Washington game was different as the running backs rushed for 164 yards.
Simon said the game plan every week is to take advantage of what the defense gives the Sun Devil offense.
Oregon State's defense ranks third worst in Division I football in yards allowed per game. The Sun Devil offense can put up strong numbers, but Smith doesn't want to underestimate the Beaver's defense.
Smith said they can't underestimate any team and that his job is to just go in there and do his best.
At Monday's press conference, Head Coach Herm Edwards said Smith received more playing time as it pertained to pass blocking.
"(Trelon knows) the protections a little better," Edwards said. "Running backs have to be able to protect the quarterback."
Smith said pass protection will be a major role for the running backs this week in an effort to protect redshirt senior quarterback Manny Wilkins.
"At practice we were working on picking up the blitzes and knowing where they are coming from," Smith said.
This matchup against Oregon State will allow the Sun Devil offense to put together an effective passing and running game.

Why do I torture myself so? I ask myself this every time I start a new portrait.
The beginning seems so easy: ideas grace the mind…an outline drawn…the hollow of a mystical person appears.
But then it doesn't take long for excitement to give way to feelings of helplessness as I enter into that dark space between the envisioned creation and ineptness.
Yes, sometimes painting can be torturous—wrestling with uncertainty, wandering in aimlessness, facing the impossible.
And then just about the time I'm tempted to give up, the face forming on the canvas looks into my eyes and begs for release—to be created, to be born. She seems to have a message to give, and I feel a sense of compulsion to make it possible. But I can't promise her a thing. I don't know if I can rescue her let alone make her into something lovely that speaks to the heart.

A Mother's Fight for the Rights of Her Children with Dwarfism on the Outskirts of Rio de Janeiro
Ana Silva, 35, was 30 weeks pregnant when she found out that she was expecting twins with a disability. Her daughters Annah Beatriz and Luísa were diagnosed with skeletal dysplasia, a rare condition that can alter bone growth. The diagnosis was made at a doctor's appointment in Rio's South Zone. On the long journey back home to Magé, a municipality of Greater Rio's Baixada Fluminense region, Silva decided to research skeletal dysplasia online since her doctor had not made it clear. It was then that she realized that her twins would have a type of dwarfism. Upon learning about their condition, Silva—a single mother with a five-year-old son, João Miguel—was most fearful when she realized that among the various types of skeletal dysplasia, it can be fatal in some cases. A genetic test confirmed that the twins had achondroplasia, the most common type of skeletal dysplasia. This meant that the twins would have short stature and altered bone formation.
Even in their first year of life, the twins faced many of the common challenges that affect disabled children in the Baixada: the challenge of getting access to specific treatments that they need in order to live a healthy life. Annah Beatriz and Luísa are now three years old and as residents of Magé, have already come across a great deal of bureaucracy and neglect in pursuit of medical care. Physical therapy is paramount for individuals with skeletal dysplasia, but the twins don't have regular access to these specialty services since they are not offered by the local government. Orthopedic care can only be accessed through the Children's Hospital in Vila Valqueira, even further away, in Rio's West Zone. For neurological care, they have to go to the Fernandes Figueira Institute in the South Zone, where the initial diagnosis was made during Silva's pregnancy. When the twins needed an MRI scan, they had to go to a hospital in yet another municipality—Nova Iguaçu—and wait in line for two hours.
The family faces transportation difficulties to access medical care within their own neighborhood, too. Magé, like other cities in the Baixada, has precarious urban infrastructure, which means that proper pavement, crosswalks, and traffic signs are few and far between. "I don't have a support network here and my transportation difficulties are not just due to having daughters with disabilities but also simply because it's difficult to find safe walking routes around here," Silva said.
Another of Silva's daily concerns is her daughters' education. The girls go to a municipal preschool, but the facilities couldn't provide specially adapted furniture. This cost had to come out of Silva's pocket. Another fear relates to her daughters not having access to services such as banks and shops in the future because of society's attitudes towards people with dwarfism. Holding back tears, she says that people need to understand that dwarfism isn't just about having short limbs. "Dwarfism means not having a high quality of life. It means being dependent on other people. I always tell the other parents when we have meetings at the preschool that all children are equal, including children with disabilities. I tell them that in some places—not here in Magé, but in Rio and São Paulo—some banks have begun to be equipped with ATMs that are specially adapted for use by short people and people in wheelchairs. I mean, people need to start thinking more about this," she says.
Silva is part of several support networks for people with disabilities. She realized that she needed to make more of these connections. For example, she's part of a Facebook group in which 2,000 members share their experiences with achondroplasia. The group is called "Achondroplasia Without Discrimination," but it also welcomes people with other disabilities. Silva is also in constant contact with Kênia Maria de Souza Rio, who has the same condition as her daughters. Souza Rio is a lawyer and is currently president of the Rio de Janeiro Dwarfism Association (ANAERJ).
Thanks to Souza Rio, Silva was able to participate in the association's first conference for people with dwarfism, which took place in Rio de Janeiro in 2016. It was there, Silva believes, that she was able to get a better sense of which paths to follow in pursuing care for her daughters, especially in the legal field. For example, she experienced prejudice from the Public Defender's Office when requesting financial support for food: the Public Defender's Office didn't accept the twins' medical reports, meaning that she was offered less financial support than she is legally entitled to.
Silva's contact with other people with disabilities also allows her to keep up to date with legal proceedings related to the 2015 Brazilian Inclusion of People with Disabilities Act. This law brought about significant changes to the lives of the 45 million Brazilians living with disabilities, especially with regard to access to education. For Silva, having access to networks for people with disabilities is important because it allows her to share her questions, as well as her frustrations. Silva is not alone in the difficult struggle for disability rights. "Often, my daughters only receive medical care when I complain via social networks. I've never managed to get the Magé Secretary of Health to provide care without having to shout about it and demand my rights." While the Brazilian Supreme Court ruled in May 2019 that medication for rare diseases should be funded by the Brazilian government, specific treatments for achondroplasia still don't exist.
In Silva's opinion, it is undeniable that there is a long way to go before people with disabilities enjoy all the rights they are entitled to. People living in the peripheries—in cities like Magé with poor access to health, education, and infrastructure—have to have money in order to guarantee their basic rights. "I've been going to therapy for the past five months because I want and need to be useful to my children—in order for them to be okay and in order to create a future for them in which I can have some of my own life, too," she insists.
When asked what the future looks like for her daughters, Silva concludes that current challenges are so serious and urgent that she is only really focusing on guaranteeing basic levels of dignity for her children right now. But, as a woman, activist, and social work student, she says that her aim is to offer the same support that she received from social workers along the way to other women, especially poor women who have children with disabilities. "My desire to study social work was born out of the assistance that I myself received from social workers in all of the places where I take my daughters. They are the people who give me the guidance that I need. I would really like to help other mothers of children with disabilities in the future—mothers like me who don't have a support network."

WikiLeaks founder Julian Assange, who was earlier evicted from the Ecuadorian Embassy and arrested by British police, should be treated properly, a Kremlin spokesman has said.
"Undoubtedly, we hope that all his rights will be respected," Dmitry Peskov told journalists when asked if Russia could grant asylum to Julian Assange. Earlier in the day, the WikiLeaks founder was dragged out of the Ecuadorian Embassy in London and arrested by Met Police.
Simultaneously, Ecuadorian President Lenin Moreno proclaimed that he had withdrawn political asylum for Assange, citing alleged violation of international norms and misconduct at the embassy. He said the UK should ensure that he is not extradited to a country where he may face inhumane treatment or capital punishment.
Meanwhile, WikiLeaks itself blamed "powerful actors," such as the CIA, for running a "sophisticated" campaign to scapegoat Assange.
UK authorities welcomed the news. Assange was "no hero and no one is above the law. He has hidden from the truth for years," Foreign Secretary Jeremy Hunt has tweeted.
Meanwhile, former Ecuadorian president Rafael Correa (who granted asylum to Assange) labeled Moreno a 'traitor' following the arrest.

'Hitman 3' Winter Roadmap sees the return of Santa 47
Happy holidays from Agent 47
By Oisin Kuhnke

IO Interactive has put out a video detailing the Winter Roadmap for Hitman 3, with new content and returning elusive targets.
READ MORE: How esports broadcaster Erin Ashley Simon managed to stand out from the crowd
The video, released on the official Hitman YouTube channel, details what is coming to the game through December and January. The mission Holiday Hoarders, seen in both Hitman (2016), and Hitman 2, make its debut in the third iteration of the game. The hoarders are back in Paris, and you'll need to stop burglars Harry and Marv.
Players will also be able to don Agent 47 in the Santa 47 suit, which you can unlock from playing the mission. Holiday Hoarders is also a permanent addition to the game for all owners of Hitman 3, but you can play it for free if you own the Hitman 3 Free Starter Pack all throughout December.
Starting Friday December 3, and every Friday through to January 19, players will have the opportunity to take down all previous elusive targets once again. If you missed them the first time, now you'll have the chance to take down the Collector in Dartmoor, the Liability in Berlin, or The Rage in Chongqing.
January 3 will see the addition of the Hokkaido Snow Festival, which is being added as a permanent event. You'll be able to throw snowballs, and unlock other winter-themed items, such as The Ice Pick and the Snow Festival Suit. Again, players who own the Hitman 3 Free Starter Pack can play the event for free until February 4.
The Winter Roadmap video also stated that January 20 is when Hitman 3 Year 2 will kick off, but didn't specify when ray tracing, VR on PC, and the Elusive Target Arcade mode are arriving other than "early 2022."
In other news, Valve have confirmed that there won't be any games exclusive to the Steam Deck.

Jayland Walker's Family Outraged After New Police Bodycam Footage is Released Showing Aftermath of Fatal Shooting
Jayland Walker is pictured in an undated family photo. (Walker Family)
Jayland Walker's family is outraged, according to the family's attorneys, after newly released body camera footage of Walker's death shows the moments following the fatal police shooting.
"After they shoot and end the life of Pam Walker's son, they turn off their mics. They turn off their cameras. What did they say? What did they do?" Walker family attorney Bobby DiCello said at a press conference on Tuesday. "They'll come up with a reason why they could turn off the cameras. But probe, ask those questions. In the face of this insult, we're still here."
According to the body camera footage acquired by the Akron Beacon Journal and reviewed by ABC News, an officer can be heard yelling, "Did anyone see the gun?" as officers continued to point their lights on Walker's body on the ground. Other officers chime in, saying they "can't see it," or "don't know" where the gun is.
Police approach Walker as he's on the ground, examining the body and calling for medical attention, according to the footage.
One officer orders all the officers who shot at Walker to separate themselves from the scene. Several officers then tell each other to "go blue," prompting officers to shut off the audio being recorded from the officers' body cameras, the footage showed.
The officers can be seen standing in a circle, but their discussion cannot be heard because the audio was shut off, according to the footage.
The Akron Police Department did not respond to ABC News' request for comment.

Britain's top banks are set for one of their worst first-quarter earnings seasons since the financial crisis, adding to their struggle to win over investors against a backdrop of misconduct charges, a weak economic outlook and uncertainty over Brexit. Jo Webster reports.
Britain's top banks are set for one of their worst first-quarter earnings seasons since the financial crisis. Most analysts bracing for the 'big five' to post ugly results... After collectively seeing their shares fall about 11 percent this year. (SOUNDBITE) (English): CHARLES STANLEY, CHIEF ECONOMIST, JEREMY BATSTONE-CARR, SAYING: "The operating environment over the course of the first quarter of 2016 has been very very awkward, banks have been mired in the misspelling of product protection insurance, and that has had an adverse effect as well. And then of course there is the impact of tighter standards associated with the international agreements." Brexit fears are also looming, with the odds in that vote moving sharply in favour of staying in the EU. After Barack Obama warned that Britain would be "at the back of a queue" for a new trade deal with the States if it left the bloc. Even so, uncertainty over the outcome is weighing heavily. With most banks keeping relatively quiet on the debate in their annual reports. (SOUNDBITE) (English) REUTERS UK BANKING CORRESPONDENT LAWRENCE WHITE, SAYING: "Investors just don't want to touch bank stocks until the vote has happened on June 23rd because they are concerned about, if the UK were to exit the EU that would be bad for the economy and therefore bad for banks. So they'd rather wait and see." Major U.S. peers have already set the tone for a dismal quarter. Goldman Sachs posting plunging profits last week, as market volatility hit its bond trading and investment banking businesses. On Tuesday, Standard Chartered will be the first UK lender to face the music. Just two months after announcing its first annual loss in 26 years. It's likely to set the tone for a very bleak 2016.


It's not easy to be a woman, I know.
You've got many roles and responsibilities to balance. You've got dreams you want to reach.
You gotta dig deep to be that woman you want to be everyday.
It takes courage to own the woman that you know you are on the inside.
See, we as women have a type of power than is unmatched.
Truly, being feminine is a strength that needs to be honored and celebrated by you, and for you everyday.
You deserve to make that inner connection with who you are on the inside – everyday.
Reflect your beautiful essence from the inside out.
Make dressing yourself a sacred and empowering practice that you create to set the course of your day.

Meet Noah Haytin of Golden Era Rap Graphics
Today we'd like to introduce you to Noah Haytin.
Noah Haytin (AKA "NOH8TIN") is an active California based visual artist and photographer whose early work rose to prominence in the Bay Area Hip-Hop scene during the 1990's where he created a signature style of drawing and design. His work has spanned the last three decades where he has worked as a freelancer as well as an original staff member of the now defunct but legendary graphic design firm Phunky Phat Graph-X in Oakland, CA; this small but mighty design firm was responsible for helping form much of the early visual culture of Bay Area Hip-Hop. Noah was also responsible for early iconic logos and photos for No Limit Records, where he served as a graphic artist & representative, as well as other notable creative work for renowned musical artists such as E-40, Mac Dre, Master P, Luniz, & many more. His artwork has appeared in rap music industry publications such as The Source, Rap Pages, 4080, etc.
In keeping this tradition alive, Noah has launched Golden Era Rap Graphics which seeks to create a free online presence of his Hip-Hop industry archives including his collection of promotional materials, memorabilia, and his original artwork. Noah also continues to freelance as a creative who builds on the aesthetic traditions of Hip-Hop's "Golden Era" (early 1990s – early 2000's).
Growing up not feeling like I fit into "one box" and not being particularly academically inclined in traditional ways, I found myself doodling in the margins of my schoolwork & getting scolded for it as well; I rebelled at times and tagged walls that I sometimes found myself washing as an in-school punishment for my "vandalism". I was inspired by the tagging & graffiti crews that "bombed" the streets I grew up stomping around but I also took inspiration from artists who showed off their skills in public murals, art galleries, and museums. I would also be inspired by some of my teachers and as I started to take my art more seriously, I decided I needed to "be legit" if my career as an artist was going to last; I began to keep sketchbooks of my work, take as many art courses as I could, and just get involved in arts opportunities that interested me wherever possible.
Arts courses in high school kept me engaged academically and that is a big part of why I teach art to this day, as well as continue to advocate for it (funding for public art education) and maintain my own practice too. I needed to pass tests and maintain a certain G.P.A. like any other student in order to pursue my goal of higher education and it was my passion for excellence in the arts that kept me driven to stick with it. I eventually received my Graduate degree with a 4.0 G.P.A. which was something I was never able to do prior; arts saved me from many an opportunity to take the wrong path. Ultimately, art saved my life.
Please tell us about Golden Era Rap Graphics.
My work as an artist continues to carry me as I build on the traditions I "cut my teeth" on coming of age in the "Golden Era" of Hip-Hop where rough, rugged, and raw photography, drawings & graphic designs were woven into the fabric of the culture itself. My business now is to document and archive my older work as well as to create new work that pushes the envelope of creative possibilities while also breaking down unnecessary traditional barriers.
Do you look back particularly fondly on any memories from childhood?
Knowing that my creative talent was my calling in life and would ground and support me through adversity is my longest-running and fondest childhood memory.
High-quality photo prints of select vintage hip-hop photography & memorabilia starting at $45.00

Cameron's new territory
From the August 2010 issue.
Glen Cameron has expanded operations into previously unchartered territory, taking on a new contract in Darwin.
On any given day, a multitude of trucks, of various shapes and sizes, slowly pull out from a loading dock, truck yard or roadhouse and amble onto the Stuart Highway. They are embarking upon the long and dusty journey that stretches lazily between Adelaide and Darwin, that cuts a track heading north through the centre of Australia, where the temperature slides above 30, even in winter, on any given day…
And most days it would be reasonable to say that it's not uncommon to see the owners of some of those trucks proudly steering their own rigs into Australia's outback.
But what you don't see everyday, what is uncommon, is a man driving a truck he owns, which happens be one from a massive fleet he also owns, all bearing the trademark of one of this country's largest and most successful transport companies, which…yep, he owns. You might say he's actually driving his entire transport empire up the Stuart Highway, and that's probably pretty accurate, because he's about to get even bigger. Glen Cameron has set up shop in Darwin.
A few people have asked the question and it would be reasonable for anyone who didn't know Glen to muse, why would this man possibly consider leaving his family and the comfort of his luxurious office in Melbourne to rough it up in Australia's outback when he doesn't have to do so? But the fact is Glen does have to do this, that this is a man who is highly motivated and driven by an astute desire to know by experience, intimately, the core and soul of the industry in which his working life began, where his business was born and now thrives. If there's anywhere Glen Cameron wants to be right now at the start of the new venture, it is at the coalface.
With two of his managers, Graeme Gooding and Gary Miller, Glen Cameron took the opportunity to get behind the wheel of a brand new Mercedes Benz Actros, pulling one of his 20 recently delivered Freighter low profile container skels, hauling, and intending to deliver, the very first of what will be over 100 container loads of freight to Darwin – in the first week of operations alone. Together they departed from a distribution centre in Gepps Cross, Adelaide, marking the beginning of a new journey. After 3000 kilometres, they pulled up in Darwin making the first delivery that reflects the foundation of a new distribution contract between Camerons and one of Australia's largest retailers.
With Cameron's taking over the new contract, the majority of the freight will be loaded into 48ft rail containers at the distribution centre in Adelaide and then taken north utilising rail services. Once in Darwin, Camerons will collect the containers from the railhead and effect the delivery directly to the retailer, providing considerable savings and efficiencies.
To manage the expected ninety to one hundred loads a week into the Northern Territory, Camerons has opened a new facility in Darwin with Steve Hutchison the newly appointed site manager along with a team of dedicated drivers to establish the Cameron name and business in a new territory as a serious player in a growing market.
Glen Cameron, while at the head of a continually growing transport and logistics organisation, is a person who takes considerable interest in his business, and the long truck journey from Adelaide to the Top End gives an opportunity to see first-hand what is happening in trucking along the way and in the Darwin region.
"What happens out on the road stays out on the road" appears to be the general consensus when the three were queried on some possibly embarrassing moments fit for publishing they encountered on their journey. Although it was always followed with a quirky grin, loyalty dictated there was no way they were giving anything away.
Prior to embarking on this journey it was apparent that there was a small measure of anxiety evident in Glen's disposition, after all it's been a little while since he's driven a truck, let alone tackled a 3000 kilometre journey through Australia's outback.
Although a couple of hours into the journey, with his I-pod holding 7000 hits plugged into the Mercedes Benz sound system, he confirms his initial anxiety was perhaps ill conceived while acknowledging that trucks and technology have come such a long way in a short period of time making the task far easier than it would have been not too long ago. Glen is adamant that today we really can't comprehend what the truckies must have endured a generation ago when tackling this arduous journey.
"This is plainly evident when you actually reach the other end of the journey and reflect back on the unforgiving landscape you've just traveled through. For me in any case, it was a long drive," he says.
Leaving the truck in Darwin, he then flies home to pick up where he left off a week ago, back to business and acutely aware of the job to be done with peak efficiency in Darwin.
To have completed the long drive from the bottom of the country to the top, Glen openly states that personally, the journey was a very fulfilling and rewarding achievement to have accomplished, although for Glen, this is closely followed by another equally impressive milestone of a more personal nature.
The week following is the 35th anniversary, marking the birth of the Glen Cameron transport empire. And the entire Cameron family of employees is invited to share in the celebration. If you speak to any one of these valued people they will happily tell you, in varyingly descriptive terms, that this is what separates Glen from his competitors. Glen's strong sense of ethics extends beyond his immediate family and friends to include every person involved in his business, on every level, with a warmth and uncompromised commitment that is unshakeable – as it should be.
The guest of honour at the event is Glen's father, Ed Cameron. Ed is widely known in the transport industry as an astute operator who established a very successful trucking business he sold in 1970. However, most in the industry who know, or have heard of Ed, rightly credit him as the man who brought Kenworth trucks from America to Australia. Ed is a proud man widely recognised by his industry peers as an extraordinary individual, way ahead of his time. He also desperately wanted to accompany Glen on this trip from Adelaide to Darwin but, at the age of 87, Ed's failing health unfortunately just wouldn't physically allow it, despite his longing to share this inaugural journey with his son.
Glen's speech at this staff get-together to celebrate 35 years contains a lot of the standard formalities one would expect to hear on such an occasion. His words find their way to a small but attentive group of people, among which is a young woman you could be forgiven for thinking just stepped off a catwalk. This statuesque blonde can't conceal the sharp aptitude she possesses. And the fastest way to get a smile is to ask her anything at all about her Dad. Glen Cameron's daughter 'little Sarah', like her Dad, could be anywhere she wants to be, and right now she works side by side with her great friend, Dad, and there is no mistaking her pride.
Never far away there is the other woman of significance and importance to Glen, standing proudly by his side. Glen's wife Louise, or Lou, as she is affectionately known around the office, demonstrates a clear and present admiration in her demeanor towards Glen, a feeling shared by both mother and daughter.
Just when you think it couldn't get more personal, Glen is compelled to explain to everyone in the room why the Cameron name, and the way it is portrayed to the greater public is so important to him. Glen looks down at his father, pauses and takes his hand, and affectionately rests it on his father's shoulders. He takes a deep, slow breath, "It's because of this man."
The Glen Cameron Group has been in business for 35 years but the journey is far from over, in fact as Glen emphatically states, "This is just the beginning…"

During Yorktown's peak as a commercial port in the mid-1700's, Richard Ambler, and later his son, Jacquelin, served as collector of ports, an appointment given to them by the Royal Governor.
In 1721, Richard Ambler built this large, brick storehouse and from here he and his son handled their collector duties.
The outbreak of the American Revolution brought an end to many port activities, including the collection of customs. In 1776, Virginia militia troops were using the Custom House for barracks and two years later, Jacquelin Ambler sold the property.
In 1924, the Comte de Grasse Chapter of the Daughters of the American Revolution purchased the Custom House and restored it. Today, the Custom House still continues in use as a Chapter House and Museum.
I included the name of the building, The Custom House, and the historic location, Yorktown, Virginia.

On the Road to Métis II: From Trois-Pistoles to Sainte-Flavie
Next stop is prompted by a glimpse of the extravagant spires of the Notre-Dame-des-Neiges church in Trois-Pistoles, where you think you might catch a glimpse of the redoubtable nationalist novelist and publisher Victor-Lévy Beaulieu but of course you don't.
What you do hear, as you're wandering around the church grounds, is English, a few words of spoken English, and this is so entirely unexpected that you turn around to see who would be speaking English in Trois-Pistoles. Two young men on bicycles – are they students here? but where? – and then they go on their way, leaving you with a puzzle until you learn that the University of Western Ontario has run a French summer school in the village for the past 90 years.
The best restaurant in Rimouski, Bistro l'Ardoise (152, rue St-Germain est, Rimouski) is booked solid. You can make it to the Musée regional de Rimouski before closing time, so you check out the photo exhibit Après Strand. Bertrand Carrière https://museerimouski.qc.ca/expositions/apres-strand-bertrand-carriere/, which includes not only books containing some of Paul Strand's original Depression-era photographs of the Gaspé but 2010 Carrière photos (others being exhibited in Estevan Lodge at the Reford Gardens).
The tide and the moon are both full. By morning, when you awaken, longing for a walk along the water, the rocks along the shore are exposed, the gulls crying. By the time you've made it to the far end of the promenade, breathing the salt air and admiring the herons, the staff are putting cushions on the wicker chairs outside the Brûlerie d'ici (91, rue Saint-Germain ouest), where they serve a good cappuccino.
Empress of Ireland Museum, Pointe-au-Père
In Pointe-au-Père, a young man is cooking pancakes for his family's breakfast beside his camper van in the parking lot of the Site historique maritime, which includes a museum evoking the shape of an ocean liner and dedicated to the Empress of Ireland, which sank in 1914 with a loss of 1014 lives. Famously sank, I might add, for the loss of life was greater even than that of Titanic, but this was a disaster soon eclipsed by World War I.
Empress of Ireland
The Canadian submarine Onondaga, too, is open to the public, but I passed on that, having a history of claustrophobia. And of acrophobia, as well, so that I admired the handsome lighthouse without feeling inspired to climb the 128 steps to the top.
Pointe-au-Père lighthouse
The story of the lighthouse itself is beguiling, though, as is the material on the fog horn shed and the pilot station based here until 1960 (when it moved to Escoumins on the north shore). The story of German U-boats in the Battle of the St. Lawrence (1942-1944) impresses upon you the role of this coast in naval defense, for the Germans did make it this far upriver in ways the alarmed local population had to keep to themselves because of wartime security.
You might be impressed, too – when you stop to take a photo of one of the many gazebos you have passed en route – to learn of an organization is alerting the public to the danger to sea mammals along the coast, as a gentleman gets out of a car to staple a poster on the lamppost with information about who to contact if you come across an injured creature.
You leave the Bas-Saint-Laurent and enter Gaspésie 12 km east of Rimouski. The sign in Sainte-Luce announces that you're entering the Mitis region; neighbouring Sainte-Flavie proclaims itself gateway to Gaspésie. I was looking for signs of the concrete sculptures by Marcel Gagnon on the shore, some on rafts that float when the tide is high. It turns out they are hard to miss, with the Gagnon family's auberge, restaurant, gallery and boutique all on the same property.

There have been too many shows of impatience and anger, with each side blaming the other. With few exceptions, this has all been a question of words -- sharp words, throw-away words, unthinking words -- but they have succeeded in hardening attitudes and deepening divisions. Fine words are not all it takes to improve matters, but they can help a great deal in such a language-obsessed city as Montreal.

At some point, most African American men experience a painful social initiation. My son Ryan was 13 when his came. At the time, we were living in Oakland. I worked across the bay in downtown San Francisco, and Ryan was planning to take BART into the city to meet me for lunch. It was only his third or fourth time riding the subway alone, and even though he was practically 6 feet, he was known to get distracted, and I was a worrywart.
"Don't talk to strangers; don't miss the Montgomery Street stop; clue in to your surroundings. Move away from strange-acting folks."
Without missing a beat, he quietly said, "Mom, relax. I think some people think I'm one of the strange-acting folks. Other mothers are probably warning their kids to stay away from people like me."
My heart practically stopped. "Why do you say that?"
"Oh, I just noticed the last couple of times I was on BART, I could feel I was making several white women nervous when I sat near them."
"I'm sure it's your imagination," I insisted. But deep down, I knew. I knew something had shifted, both in how the world viewed my son and in how he viewed himself. He couldn't put his finger on it, but he knew something was up.
Racism is like that. A dripping faucet of sorts. You ignore it until you can't anymore. I so desperately wanted to slow down the inevitable. Stop the drip. Couldn't he have just one more year of innocence in which he could believe that his black skin was nothing more than what it is — a physical attribute rather than the definition to others of who he is and what he can or can't do.
But Ryan was already one step ahead of me in coming up with coping strategies.
"Don't worry, Mom, I figured out a solution. I just take out a book and start reading, which seems to make everybody relax." One woman, he said, even asked if he was enjoying a particular book as much as she did.
As a black woman who loves two amazing black men — my husband and 23-year-old son — I have seen again and again how society either assumes the worst of them or treats them as an exception to their race and manhood. It is a minefield black men must navigate.
During Ryan's teen years, he struggled, sometimes lashing out at us. After reading "The Autobiography of Malcolm X," he concluded that my husband and I were "Toms" for our "bourgeois lifestyle" — a lifestyle he took full advantage of, I might add. Other times, his anger was directed at anyone who looked at him sideways.
One day when he was 16, he stormed into the house complaining to no one in particular: "Why does everyone assume that just because I'm black, I play basketball? That's just plain racist."
My husband, without looking up from the newspaper, responded nonchalantly, "Do you think it has anything to do with you being 6-foot-5?"
Ryan grunted something under his breath before lumbering off to his room. But we all knew that although that was undoubtedly part of the equation, it wasn't all of it.
Like so many other young black men, Ryan made it to adulthood armed with both the understanding and the burden of what it means to be a black man in America. He has no illusions. He knows that he has to be better than others at whatever he decides to do in life, and that he has to be more careful. That's the part I worry about most.
Recently, Ryan started graduate school at the University of North Carolina, where he is working toward his doctorate in history. The night he and my husband arrived in town to move him into his new apartment, they were stopped on the interstate by the police, allegedly for not moving to the outer lane when passing a police car that had stopped another driver.
Male relatives later told us that this particular stretch of road was treacherous territory for black men, especially for those driving cars with out-of-state license plates. My husband told me he was glad to have been there to model for Ryan how to behave during a police stop, something every black man needs to be prepared to handle. Like it or not, racial profiling still plays into many law enforcement decisions. Odds are that even as Ryan prepares for life as a law-abiding historian, this will not be his last unsolicited encounter with the police.
The days are long gone when I can protect Ryan from the inequities of life. But I pay attention to the news, and I worry. This winter I was not alone among black mothers to be dismayed when police identified a "person of interest" in the killing of publicist Ronni Chasen. The man, who ultimately killed himself, was thought to have possibly shot Chasen while riding his bike through Beverly Hills late at night. He was black.
This year, when my son was home for the holidays, I found myself in worrywart mode again. It was all I could do to resist making a motherly suggestion: Perhaps the city of Beverly Hills should be off-limits for any bicycle outings.
