The genesis of Genesis in the documentary Together and Apart
No Comments on The genesis of Genesis in the documentary Together and Apart
This feature-length BBC documentary on the band Genesis comes with more asterisks than a typical rockumentary. First is the lack of occasion — there being no significant milestone in 2014, unless the band's 47th-ish anniversary means something to somebody. Only further confusing things, the doc was released in different regions as "Together and Apart" or "Sum of the Parts", accompanied by the hits compilation "R-Kive", a trifecta of inexplicably terrible names.
Unlike previous reunion projects in 1983 (a one-off live performance), 1998-99 (a Behind the Music documentary and re-recordings of "The Carpet Crawlers" and "It"), and 2007-08 (individual interviews for a complete catalogue reissue), the only new material on offer here is a new on-camera simultaneous interview with core members Tony Banks, Phil Collins, Peter Gabriel, Steve Hackett, and Mike Rutherford.
The classic Genesis quintet lineup circa 1974: Tony Banks, Mike Rutherford, Peter Gabriel, Steve Hackett, and Phil Collins
The other main selling point is a smattering of rare or apparently unseen live footage, including at least one new to me: a tantalizing glimpse of the very young band live at The Atomic Sunrise Festival, at the groovy London venue The Roundhouse in 1970, where they shared a bill with David Bowie. Much of the rest the live footage will probably be familiar to any fan with access to YouTube. Looking back at all this vintage footage now, how much do you think Collins wishes he could have told his younger self to sit up straight while playing, considering his later back and nerve damage?
The only footage released so far from The Atomic Sunrise Festival, at London's Roundhouse in 1970, featuring Genesis, David Bowie, and others
Compared to many of their infamously dysfunctional peers, Genesis has a relatively boring back story, with no salacious deaths, lawsuits, or arrests to whip up an exciting narrative. Well, with the exception of — trigger warning — self-aggrandizing original manager (and convicted sex offender) Jonathan King, granted a minute or two here to inflate his role in the band's first recordings.
The story of a few driven young men who form a band, work hard, succeed, then retire, isn't in and of itself very thrilling. This documentary plays up the drama by emphasizing the comings and goings of members as more earth-shattering than even they themselves seem to think. That said, the new group interview does reveal some lingering bad vibes and resentment. Banks speaks with warmth towards original guitarist Anthony Phillips, but still reacts with real negativity to the topic of Gabriel and Hackett attempting to assert themselves within Genesis in the mid-70s. In Banks' defense, it must have been difficult to accept his school friend Gabriel simultaneously seizing the creative reins while also retreating into family life around the time of the ambitious The Lamb Lies Down on Broadway album and tour.
But Banks' attitude towards Hackett seems out of proportion to the situation. Long story short, it seems Hackett had been writing a lot of music that the band vetoed, so he used it on a solo album. Shortly thereafter, when the other members didn't have enough material to shape into a new Genesis album, they were pissed that he didn't have anything. From the outside perspective of a fan, it sounds to me like Hackett was wronged. Especially so, as he is the one currently carrying the torch for classic Genesis material while still creating new music on his own.
Banks also snipes at Collins' ubiquity in the mid-80s, but in this case he does seem to be joking (to paraphrase, he laughingly says something like "he was our friend and we wanted him to succeed, but not too much"). Gabriel seems the most diplomatic and positive, and the most relaxed and jocular during the group interview. Perhaps for him this is all ancient history after his rich and varied solo career, whereas Genesis was more of a lifelong investment for the others.
Genesis reconvened in 2014 for the documentary Together and Apart (aka Sum of the Parts): Phil Collins, Steve Hackett, Tony Banks, Mike Rutherford, and Peter Gabriel
As a longtime fan, I have certain strongly held opinions that don't seem to completely align with fan consensus or the bands' own self-estimation. Genesis is long-misunderstood and due for a reevaluation, but I'm not sure this was the right documentary at the right time. It pushes Hackett to the edges (sometimes literally cropping him out of frame), and leaves other significant members like Ray Wilson totally unmentioned. I also think it does a disservice by not placing the band in context; some influences are mentioned (particularly Gabriel's love of Otis Redding and Collins' appreciation of Grandmaster Flash), but it would have helped illustrate Genesis' significance by showing how they fused the nascent progressive rock movement (I suspect The Moody Blues and King Crimson's In the Court of the Crimson King loomed large in their minds when working on the Trespass album) with a real pop sensibility. Their aptitude for concise hit singles in the 80s is treated as an unexpected metamorphosis, when to my ears it's the natural culmination of everything they were building towards since their earliest 1967 pop songs.

Scratching in the Dirt: Peter Gabriel's Scratch My Back
No Comments on Scratching in the Dirt: Peter Gabriel's Scratch My Back
As a Peter Gabriel fan for over two decades, it's difficult to admit that I find myself struggling to appreciate his first new album in years.
There have always been three core things to love about Gabriel's work: his literate songwriting, meticulous soundscapes, and emotionally expressive voice. Behind the creepily organic album art, Scratch My Back is an experiment in subtraction. It finds Gabriel covering other artists' songs, accompanied only by solo piano or orchestra (the oddly defensive marketing pitch "No drums, no guitars" says it all). That leaves only the voice. Soulful and gravelly even as a teenage cofounder of Genesis in 1967, Gabriel's voice should be more than enough to justify anything, so my pat reduction here is not totally fair. Gabriel and John Metcalfe clearly labored over these orchestral arrangements, but I miss the complex sonics of the rock and world music instrumentation that has characterized most of his music for over 40 years.
Gabriel did very nearly the opposite a decade ago, when his high-concept millennium project Ovo made a point of casting Paul Buchanan and The Cocteau Twins' Elizabeth Fraser to sing his songs. The most recent collection of his own songs was 2002's Up, followed in 2009 by the collaborative project Big Blue Ball. Casual fans of his music might not be aware that Gabriel is an active humanitarian, particularly as cofounder of Witness and The Elders, so the temporal gap between his musical ventures is not entirely explained by chronic procrastination (although he would probably be the first to admit he's easily distracted). Gabriel has stated that he hopes to work on more song-swap projects in the future, but first plans to work on some of his own songs. How long until he prepares a new album over which he can claim sole authorship?
Gabriel told the New York Times:
"I was trying to make a grown-up record […] This is treating people as if they can handle difficult music and words. Not that I've courted the lowest common denominator before, but there's a playfulness and childishness in some of my older work that isn't present on this record."
He is presumably referring to the media satire of "Games Without Frontiers" and "The Barry Williams Show", the randy sex romps "Sledgehammer" and "Kiss That Frog", and the vaudeville silliness of "Excuse Me" and "Big Time". Gabriel is one of the few musicians that I first listened to as a teenager, but whose music has aged with me. So I would have expected myself to appreciate an album of him covering many songs that I know and love well (particularly David Bowie, Lou Reed, Elbow, and Talking Heads), but I find that I don't know what to make of Scratch my Back even after repeated listening.
Many songwriters lose their dark edge as they age (case in point: Pink Floyd's once tortured, prickly Roger Waters is now a big smiley softie), and by all accounts Gabriel should have been following that track too. After leaving Genesis in 1975 to deal with family issues, his first four solo albums were increasingly dark and sinister. But 1986's So marked a noticeable turnaround in tone and an apparent psychic healing. Now reportedly still pals with his old Genesis cohorts, aging gracefully into a potbelly and gnomish goatee, remarrying, fathering two new sons, and reconciling with his two daughters from a previous marriage, he seemed to be transforming into a cuddly grandfather figure. A trickle of releases over the past decade showed him favoring directly-worded songs for children, including the Oscar-nominated "That'll Do" (from the movie Babe), the unsubtle "Animal Nation" (from The The Wild Thornberrys Movie), and "Down to Earth" (from Wall-E).
Suddenly, he appears to have reversed back into depressive territory. Nearly every song chosen for Scratch My Back has been transformed into a mournful dirge. Especially when listened to in one sitting, I find many of the interpretations to be too depressing, and I actually like depressing music. My favorite examples along these lines are Michael Andrews and Gary Jules' cry-your-guts-out cover of Tears for Fears' "Mad World" (from the movie Donnie Darko), and Elbow's agonizingly heartrending version of U2's "Running to Stand Still" (from the War Child benefit album Heroes).
Gabriel's version of The Magnetic Fields' "Book of Love" has apparently become something of a sensation on YouTube, licensed in television shows, and played at celebrity weddings. Perhaps I'm coldhearted, but it does absolutely nothing for me. Songwriter Stephin Merritt says his version was sarcastic, while Gabriel's is deadly serious:
At first I thought, How hilarious, he's got a completely different take on the song. But after a few listens I find it quite sweet. My version of the song focuses on the humor, and his focuses on the pathos. Of course, if I could sing like him I wouldn't have to be a humorist.
Did Gabriel just plain miss Merritt's point, or did he intentionally transform it into something sentimental, singing the same words but altering the instrumentation and delivery? All that said, something to cherish in Gabriel's cover is the presence of his daughter Melanie on backing vocals.
Elbow's "Mirrorball" is one of the most ravishing love songs I've heard. Elbow remixed Gabriel's "More Than This" in 2002, providing a more organic rock structure to Gabriel's perhaps over-processed studio original. But Gabriel does not return the favor here, turning their gorgeous love song into a depressive bummer.
The once case where Gabriel's bummer-o-vision may have actually been appropriate is with Paul Simon's "Boy in the Bubble", which actually does have very dark lyrics.
The original recording of David Bowie's "Heroes" boasts an unforgettable lead guitar line from Robert Fripp, which by his own rules Gabriel must subtract. He sings Bowie's Berlin-inspired lyrics in cracked, anguished tones, not an emotion I associate with the song.
The one song I liked immediately was "Listening Wind". The original is one of the odder tracks on Talking Heads' Remain in Light, and Gabriel rather amazingly draws out a catchy melody embedded in the experimental song.
The Special Edition includes a second cd with four bonus tracks: a cover of The Kinks' "Waterloo Sunset" and alternate versions of "The Book of Love", "My Body is a Cage", and "Heroes". It might have been interesting to also include some of Gabriel's past covers, including The Beatles' "Strawberry Fields", Leonard Cohen's "Suzanne", and Joseph Arthur's "In the Sun". I would have also very much liked to hear instrumental mixes of some of Metcalfe's orchestral arrangements.

The Decemberists Live at Radio City Music Hall, June 10, 2009
No Comments on The Decemberists Live at Radio City Music Hall, June 10, 2009
Robyn Hitchcock & The Venus 3 (including Peter Buck of R.E.M. and Bill Rieflin of Ministry, R.E.M., and The Humans) opened with an enjoyable 30-minute set. I was unfamiliar with Hitchcock, but by total coincidence had just days before seen his appearance in Jonathan Demme's Rachel Getting Married. His quirky non sequiturs between songs ("I had a root canal this morning, which is why I'm wearing a hat" – which he wasn't) contrasted with his focused, tight songs. The Decemberists' Colin Meloy briefly joined in on tambourine and backing vocals.
I'm a latecomer to The Decemberists, only catching on with their third album The Crane Wife (2006), which features a guest appearance by Laura Veirs, one of my favorite singer/songwriters, on the wonderful track "Yankee Bayonet." My interest was further piqued by a review (that I now can't track down) that compared them to early Genesis, of which I am also a longtime fan. It's a bold comparison, for few would classify The Decemberists' music as progressive rock. But it is fitting insofar as their compositions are often epic narratives, encompassing styles ranging from pastoral folk to hard rock, all performed with high musicianship that eschews flashy individual soloing. Further bolstering their prog rock cred, the first half of The Decemberists' set was the entirety of their 2009 concept album, The Hazards of Love.
Colin Meloy joins Robyn Hitchcock & The Venus 3 as they warm up the crowd
In retrospect, a concept album was inevitable for a such a band that had already shown a penchant for lengthy story-based songs like "The Mariner's Revenge Song" (on Picaresque, 2005) and "The Crane Wife Parts 1-3." Compared to Genesis' grand but slightly inconsistent epics "Supper's Ready" and The Lamb Lies Down on Broadway, The Hazards of Love is actually one of the most cohesive concept albums I've heard. It rivals The Who's Quadrophenia for clarity of vision and cohesiveness of its recurring musical themes.
An instrumental organ intro (sorry to keep bringing them up, but possibly an idea borrowed from Genesis' "Watcher of the Skies") launches the epic fairy tale. The role of a girl that falls in love with a forest creature is sung on record and live by the airy, sweet voice of Lavender Diamond's Becky Stark. My Brightest Diamond's Shara Worden, a pint-sized, multi-instrumentalist powerhouse, blowed everybody's hair back as the evil forest queen. How does a girl that small have such powerful pipes?
Although a few tracks can stand on their own (especially "The Rake's Song"), the entire suite deserves to be heard in one piece. It was a very bold move to release a 58-minute song suite at a time when the long-player album is dying, and music is consumed track-by-track and randomly shuffled by iPod algorithms. Personally, I had found the album a little slow to absorb, but now that I've witnessed the whole thing live… wow. It's brilliant, and made to be experienced live, in one piece.
Becky Stark & Shara Worden join The Decemberists to cover Heart's "Crazy On You"
The second set mostly featured songs I didn't know, so it's time for me to visit Amazon MP3 to buy up their back catalogue. Peter Buck came back out to join them for a cover of "Begin the Begin" from my favorite R.E.M. album Lifes Rich Pageant (I was unable to shake Michael Stipe's hook "The insurgency began and you missed it" from my head the entire walk home from the show). Stark and Worden rejoined the band for a full-blooded cover of all things, Heart's "Crazy On You." Their rendition was totally faithful, and yet somehow managed to sound both like a Decemberist original as well as something Fleetwood Mac might have done. They ended on a high note for me, with one of my personal favorite Decemberist songs, "Sons & Daughters."

The Musical Box live at Highline Ballroom, New York
1 Comment on The Musical Box live at Highline Ballroom, New York
The Musical Box is a Canadian group that stages elaborate recreations of entire concerts given by the English progressive rock band Genesis in the early 1970s. They perform closely-observed note-for-note cover versions of the original songs, in the original set list order, with full recreations of the set design, props, costumes, vintage instruments, and even the mannerisms of the original Genesis. So while it is technically true that they are essentially a cover band, how many of those tour the world several times over and land gigs at significant venues like The Highline Ballroom? It speaks to both the integrity of the original Genesis music and to The Musical Box's own skills that they are not a mere tribute band gigging through bars and frat houses.
At the Highline Ballroom, The Musical Box performed Genesis' famed "Black Show," originally in support of the 1973 album Selling England By the Pound, and widely bootlegged as the "Rainbow Show". Genesis' typical "White Show" was more elaborately staged, but due to venue requirements and the troubles of shipping their gear internationally, they would sometimes play the stripped-down Black Show, so known for its low stage lighting and simple black backdrop. The Musical Box's performance had amazing sound fidelity, and was one of the best-sounding live concerts I've ever heard. No doubt the actual Genesis (many of whom have seen The Musical Box live and have even sat in with them on occasion) wish they had such modern audio technology at their disposal in the early 1970s.
The members of The Musical Box are as much actors as they are crack musicians. Fittingly, Peter Gabriel himself was mostly acting onstage; the famously shy young man masked his discomfort with an outlandish stage persona full of costumes, masks, and mime. Denis Gagné is perhaps a touch too old to play a stringbean-thin Gabriel in his early twenties, but does an extraordinary job of capturing his vocals and stage presence, right down to the hilariously filthy stories Gabriel used to tell between songs as the rest of the band retuned their instruments.
The only performer out of 70s bell-bottom costume was Gregg Bendian as "Phil Collins." He was, however, paradoxically one of the most authentic performers, recreating Collins' unmistakably muscular and enthusiastic drumming. After becoming famous as a television actor and cheesy pop superstar in the 1980s, It's easy to forget that Collins is first and foremost one of rock's best drummers.
The rest of Genesis was very serious and reserved, and relied on Gabriel to engage the audience as they played. Sébastien Lamothe enlivens the bearded, serious Steve Hackett's guitar embellishments (not one of Genesis' core songwriters, Hackett was however a brilliant guitarist and one of the inventors of the two-handed tapping technique). Sébastien Lamothe straps on a genuine double-necked Rickenbocker to play Mike Rutherford, with the dedication to verisimilitude to grow a full beard and flowing locks. David Myers plays Tony Banks, the stoic unsmiling anchor on stage right, but sadly relies on modern synthesizers (nothing compares to the raw sound of an actual Mellotron).
And finally, a cheap shot: the audience was far from the usual sort seen at New York City venues. A noticeably older set, with a very strong dork flavor (with shirts tucked in over pot bellies), but there was a surprising number of women (not traditionally an audience for progressive rock).
A few notes on the songs:
• Cinema Show – it's difficult to fully appreciate the very long (approx. 5 minutes!) instrumental power trio sequence featuring Collins, Banks, Rutherford until you witness it live. Wow! Genesis was a lot "heavier" than I ever realized from simply listening to the albums.
• Firth of Fifth – Steve Hackett's hair-raising melody line must be one of the best guitar moments in rock, ever, and no doubt Lamothe relishes playing it live.
• The Musical Box – the coda sequence (during which Gabriel famously wore a grotesque "old man" mask) drove the crowd bananas. Clearly the band is aware of the song's power, for they took their name from it.
• The Battle of Epping Forest is the rare classic Genesis song that I haven't already memorized over the years. Gabriel affected lots of character voices in the original, and thus this is perhaps the one point when Gagné's impersonation fails him.
• Supper's Ready – had The Musical Box not already provided a premature climax to the show, the closing "Apocalypse" sequence to Supper's Ready would have been it.
• The Knife (encore) – why aren't Genesis credited more often for recording one of the earliest hard rock songs? The Knife is so dark, loud, and aggressive, it could possibly even be called metal.

Elon Musk to auction off assets and souvenirs from Twitter
Elon Musk will be auctioning off a bunch of stuff to free up space at Twitter San Francisco HQ. These items include a large statue of the Twitter bird, office computers, and other stuff from the office kitchen.
Musk will be putting up a number of items for auction. These include a sizable statue of the Twitter bird, a projector, iMac screens, espresso machines, chairs, and kitchenware, with opening bids ranging from $25-50. Twitter has already onboarded Heritage Global Partners to conduct the auction.
Since Elon Musk's $44 billion acquisition of Twitter, the company's owner implemented a number of cost-cutting measures. He has fired about half of the company's employees, which has prompted a group of former workers to file a lawsuit, alleging that the mass firings involved numerous labour rights violations.
Elon Musk says Twitter will launch ads free premium Blue…
Twitter officially bans third-party clients with new…
"We don't determine which assets a company doesn't need. Just like a real estate broker doesn't determine which houses or buildings their client will need to sell," a CNN report quoted HGP president Nick Dove as saying.
If upon reading this you feel Musk is conducting the auction to raise money, you would be wrong. Anyone who believes the auction is a part of preserving finances is a "moron," Nick Dove said.
Apart from getting rid of stuff that doesn't really mean anything at the Twitter HQ, it seems that Musk's goal is to get rid of unnecessary stuff that takes up space. Musk anyway plans on keeping as few people on his team as possible because of this, he won't be needing the office furniture that Twitter's HQ has.
Moreover, he has turned quite a few rooms at the Twitter HQ into bedrooms and therefore had to get rid of a lot of stuff that just occupied space. A report from Forbes cited an internal source, saying that each floor at the Twitter office in San Francisco seems to have about four to eight such bedrooms.

CHIADZWA DIAMOND HEISTS : SECURITY MANAGER QUITS
Saturday, April 20, 2019 NewsdzeZimbabwe 0
Zimbabwe Consolidated Diamond Company (ZCDC) security manager for Chiadzwa Mine, Mr Benjamin Chinyanga has resigned just a day before the commencement of his disciplinary hearing. The resignation follows a spate of security breaches at the mine.
Mr Chinyanga who is understood to have been on suspension since March 20 this year, is said to have tendered his letter on the of 16 April 2019.
Contacted for comment by Great Dyke New24, ZCDC spokesperson Mr Sugar Chagonda could neither deny nor confirm the resignation of Mr Chinyanga saying the company is set to curb all diamond leakages in line with their zero tolerance to corruption.
"The state diamond miner will leave no stone unturned when it comes to curbing all forms of leakages and pilferage of the precious stones in line with our zero tolerance to corruption policy and our quest to become a world class diamond producer," he said.
The state-owned company in January fired 80 of its employees, many of them suspected of involvement in diamond ore looting at Chiadzwa.
A breach of security occurred in December 2018 followed by another one in January 2019 with the latest having been recorded in March resulting in the arrest and prosecution of four people who are before the courts.

A Kingdom of Kittens
by tucsondog | Nov 1, 2018 | 0 comments
Story & Photos by Emily Dieckman
PACC foster mom takes on some of the animal shelter's neediest feline cases.
You wouldn't guess it from the eight grown cats she calls her own and the 26 kittens she was fostering at one point this fall, but Christina Aronson didn't grow up with pets.
"I wasn't really a cat person until I moved here from Ohio," said Aronson, grinning sheepishly as she looks around the designated foster kitten room in her house. The room is sectioned off into different areas based on kittens' medical needs. Aronson and her husband had new flooring put into after one too many accidents on the carpet.
Aronson started fostering medically challenged kittens from the Pima Animal Care Center four years ago, when PACC had to start putting the kittens on deadline and reached out to the community for help.
"I don't know what I'm doing," Aronson remembers saying, "But I'll help you."
These days, she's up between 4 and 4:30 every morning to feed all of the kittens with which she shares her home. And to give everyone their medication, whether they're suffering from ringworm, panleukopenia, calicivirus, broken limbs or anything else. She started off taking in kittens with ringworm because other volunteers were reluctant to work with kittens carrying the highly contagious fungal infection. Aronson has actually caught ringworm from foster kittens before, but she resolved it quickly and continued caring for her charges. All eight of her own cats are rescues as well—seven from PACC and one from the Humane Society.
"It is hard and challenging, but I feel like if I can help one or a few, it's worth it," she said. "If I take on a medical case and it's pretty bad, I would rather them die here than die alone in a cage."
There's never a dull day in a house so alive with cats—most are kittens, she says, but there is an occasional adult cat. Sometimes, a case that the shelter had confidence would be an easy foster won't make it. Other times, a charge Aronson takes on in hopes of making its last days comfortable will make a shocking recovery. These moments— offering companionship and comfort during an animal's last days, or when an animal offers her a ray of hope in return— bring Aronson so much joy.
An orange kitten in the corner is a reminder of both the ups and downs of the journey. Aronson took in both the kitten (originally called Joshua, and changed to Jacqueline once shelter staff realized she was a girl) and her brother after they were rescued from a hoarding case. They were about three weeks old. The kittens only weighed about 4 ounces.
When Jacqueline's brother got sick late one night, after the shelter had already closed, Aronson rushed him to the emergency vet, where he had to be put down. While they were there, Jacqueline tested positive for panleukopenia and started taking medication for it. Then she got a UTI. Then she got a tapeworm. Now she's frolicking in the kitten room with her foster brothers and sisters, 14 weeks old and healthy. Aronson is most in her element when she's helping cases like this.
"They gave me a healthy kitten once, and I took it back," she laughs. "I just play with it and feed it? I don't need to give it any medicine and treatments?"
Aronson fits all of this around her job in the crime lab at the Tucson Police Department. She's at the shelter every Monday helping to bathe and administer medication to kittens with ringworm, every Tuesday to drop off cats who need to be spayed or neutered, and every Saturday for the shelter's vaccination clinic. She also stops in whenever she's needed on other days, which is often—her husband Brian says, half-jokingly, that there's always an emergency with a kitten.
"She has helped other foster parents with kittens when they have complications, and because of her, a lot of kittens have survived and been adopted out," said Cynthia Franco, the adult cat foster coordinator at PACC.
Aronson says fostering is something that's worth considering for everyone—after all, she hadn't even spent much time around animals when she started volunteering at PACC, and now she's an old pro. The shelter staff, the orientations and training held for new fosters, a supportive network of other volunteers and foster parents, and the option of what kind of animal to foster—adult or young, dog or cat—make the process less difficult than it might seem.
As she looks at her sole adult foster—at least for the moment—who is recovering from calicivirus and a recent eye surgery, and bounding happily around the room, she smiles.
"Hopefully, he finds a good home," she says. "Hopefully, they all find good homes."
If you are interested in fostering animals through the Pima Animal Care Center, contact the foster coordinator Rosio Reyes at rosio.reyes@pima.gov

Fourth graders from MA called the SuperYou curriculum "life changing."
Read student testimonials in a blog written by their teacher.
"I believe in the SuperYouFUN program. I believe because I see the results. I visit the students and I see the positive impact. I would love SuperYou to be in every District 75 school. It's not only about creating superhero kids. It's also about inspiring and empowering the adults as well." – Gary Hecht (Superintendent)
"The energy in the schools in our district that have taken SuperYouFUN is unlike anything I've ever before seen in my life. There is nothing better than getting a "present" from a 7 year old and you see that it's picture of herself and with the caption, "I feel empowered!" This is not just a product that improves test scores. It's about LOVING kids. That's why it works." — Nili Bartley (Teacher)
"This is not just a curriculum, this is a program that develops school cultures — a culture of acceptance, self-worth, kindness, empathy and collaboration." — Marcy Berger (Principal)
"This program is successful because it's filled with "hooks"— superheroes, art, music, and it's just fun for our kids. SuperYou should be standard learning in all our schools"— Adrienne Edelstein (Department of Education Cluster leader)
"SuperYou" brought out who my son truly is and gave him the confidence to show off what he loves to do and what is important to him to his peers and his teacher. Kids got to know each other on a deeper level, which created a lasting bond that I have not seen in any other classroom experience for any of my children." — Sherri Hyman (Mom)
"I have been to a school where there were probably 300 children singing the SuperYou anthem with their superhero capes and their belief in themselves, and some of the kids were non-verbal—but they were stomping away and clapping and swept away by that positive field… and the whole room was vibrating like a rolling thunder. Then I speak to the teachers of those children and they tell me that whereas in the past the kids were acting out, now all the teacher needs to say is "Remember to use your superpower!" and the child's behavior shifts. The child now has the vocabulary to describe who they are and why they are a superhero, which decelerates the student from going into a full blown acting-out episode, which is probably the most positive output that can possibly happen." – Rona Rosenberg Freiser (United Federations of Teachers, Queens Borough Rep.)
"There is so much curriculum pressure that is put on our teachers nowadays that kids aren't allowed to slow down and learn the most important thing—who they really are. With SuperYou, we take a breath of fun and focus on who kids really are. And what I've seen is that when our kids feel empowered, all the academics go through the roof." — Sarah Dahlheimer (Teacher)
"I love SuperYou because it's fun and when kids have fun, they are more productive. Failure is not written into SuperYou. There are only opportunities for achievement and success, and that boosts the confidence and self-esteem of the students, which results in increased academic performance." – Robert Wojnarowski (Principal)
"Too many times children feel like they're not good at anything. SuperYou helps them realize their strengths and gives them the voice to express themselves and realize that their voice matters. – Christina Navarette (Teacher)
Every organization thinks they are completely all in and passionate, but I don't know if every organization out there believes they are starting a movement. So that's what makes us different. – Josh Wilkes (Board member)
"This program engages the hard to reach students. It shines a light on students I wouldn't necessarily recognize and it allows me the chance to see something in them I wouldn't necessarily see" – Nina La Plante (Teacher)
"SuperYou has made a lasting impact on my daughter. Because of the program, her self-esteem really shot right up. She became happier. Even after the program and the school year ended, she continues to be a superhero. She's a sprinter, not a distance runner. So when she was running a 5K and was about to give up, all I had to say is, "Hey! Where's Tenacity Tiger?" and she perked right up and finished the race." – Colleen Souza (Mom)
"A lot of education today is about "check the box," and it's not engaging or inspiring. This curriculum draws in students and brings learning to life. Students are putting their own hand made capes on to feel empowered to take their math exams. They work together on social good missions to help their school or communities. They constantly notice and affirm superhero acts of kindness and community. This kind of learning stays with children even after the school bell rings." — Rachael Methal (Board Chair)
"These kids did not learn something new, they BECAME someone new, by owning who they truly are." — Margarita Porzio (Mom)
"I think that people in the education world really shouldn't see this program as just another curriculum. People need to see SuperYou as something that could be integrated every day, all day, into all aspects of a child's schooling. When we empower kids with the feeling, the vocabulary, and the self-awareness that the program provides, I think we will foster the development of a better, well-rounded child, who will then become a better well-rounded adult." — Johanna Schneider (Principal)
"When asked to access the hero inside of themselves during the SuperYou program, my students were introduced to the concept of writing their own story, rather than live the one that is written for them by others. It was an empowering process that brought forth their most positive character traits and were ultimately celebrations of who these kids are at their core." — Katha Cato (Teacher)
"My kids just love SuperYou. They are always asking, "When is it SuperYou time?" and I tell them, "Well, all the time is SuperYou time!" This is what we're doing every day, all day. The concept of celebrating your inner superhero and noticing the superhero qualities in others is built into everything we do now. I love this program because our kids now understand how important they are to our community and our world." – Sarah Dahlheimer (Teacher)
"Educators… It will change your life and as a result, change the lives of your students"

Only WAVE_FORMAT_PCM and WAVE_FORMAT_IEEE_FLOAT are supported.
Please do not hesitate to contact ssr@spatialaudio.net for support, feature requests, issues and bug reports.
Multi-channel WAV files would normally use the format WAVE_FORMAT_EXTENSIBLE, see http://www-mmsp.ece.mcgill.ca/documents/audioformats/wave/wave.html.
However, Ecasound doesn't know this format, that's why we have to use one of the abovementioned formats, although for files with more than 2 channels this is not compliant to the WAV standard.
If there is an error loading a specified audio file, the corresponding source is still created and (unexpectedly) connected to the first soundcard input channel.
We believe this is a bug in the JACK system related to the API function jack_connect(): If the destination_port argument is an empty string, the function returns (correctly) with an error. However, if the source_port argument is an empty string, the port is connected to the first "system" port (or the first port at all, or who knows ...).
And this is the case if the SSR cannot open a specified audio file.
If you also think that's a bug, feel free to report it to the JACK developers.
(ecasoundc_sa) Error='read() error', cmd='cs-connect' last_error='' cmd_cnt=6 last_cnt=5.
We experienced this error on 64 bit systems with ecasound version 2.4.6.1 and 2.7.0 in combination with JACK version 0.118.0.
Please try to update to the newest ecasound and JACK versions.
This problem occured on some old SuSE systems.
in the file src/gui/qopenglrenderer.cpp and recompile the code. The consequence is that the names of the sound sources will not be displayed anymore.
Sometimes JACK doesn't play well with those on-board sound cards. One possibility to improve this, is to increase the frames/period setting from the default 2 to a more generous 3.
Following issues are no issues anymore in the current SSR version.
This issue was resolved in version 0.3.4.
Some newer distributions got more picky about the necessary #include commands.
This can happen when both the Intersense tracker as well as the Polhemus tracker are compiled and the file isports.ini is apparent. The latter tells the Intersense tracker which port to use instead of the standard serial port /dev/ttyS0. If the isports.ini file lists the port to which the Polhemus tracker is connected it can happen that something that we have not fully understood goes wrong and the Pohlemus data can not be read. In this case you can either rename the file isports.ini or change its content.
It might be necessary to execute echo C > /dev/ttyS0 several times in order to make the Polhemus tracker operational again. You can check with cat /dev/ttyS0 if it delivers data.
This issue was resolved in version 0.3.2, the default setting for --enable-floating-control-panel is chosen depending on the installed Qt version.
Different versions of Qt show different behaviour regarding OpenGL Overlays and as a result, the GUI buttons are not shown in newer Qt versions.
This issue was resolved in version 0.3.2.
On some systems, after running make, you'll get an error mentioning "glSelectBuffer".
Please do not use audio files with spaces for scenes. Neither the filename nor the directory referenced in the scene (asd-file) should contain spaces.

We support the Mozilla community and the vital work they've done—and must keep doing—for the open Internet. EFF has been following the discussions around the choice of Brendan Eich as Mozilla's CEO, including the announcement that he is stepping down.
As partners to Mozilla in campaigns that have included the fight against SOPA/PIPA, the StopWatching.US Coalition against mass surveillance, the effort to Encrypt the Web, the battle to prevent non-consensual online tracking, and ongoing work to make Firefox a more secure browser, we appreciate the frank and honest discussion that the community has undergone over this issue and respect the openness of the process. In that respect, as in many others, the difference between a closed and an open community is profound.
We believe that what Mozilla stands for—building and supporting an open Internet that gives users freedom to communicate, innovate, and stay safe and secure—is a job that few other institutions are in a place to pursue. So as this change occurs, and the discussion continues, we also want to keep our focus on the goal that everyone can agree on: preserving an open Internet.
As David Clark said long ago, the Internet runs best on "rough consensus and running code." That, to us, is the essence of the Mozilla community. This is a team that built the free and open source Firefox browser, and got it into hundreds of millions of people's hands. The open Web is one of humanity's greatest accomplishments, and we look forward to continuing to work with Mozilla to ensure that this vision continues to thrive.

Periscope: Should Your Brand Be Using It?
Periscope, a live streaming platform that allows you to broadcast video to anywhere in the world, has been around for a little over a year now. Purchased by Twitter in 2015, it's had 10 million downloads since its release.
Is your brand using it yet? If not, here's how it works and some things to consider if you're thinking about adapting it into your social media strategy.
The app, available on both Apple and Android devices, essentially enables you to become your own on-the-go broadcasting station, streaming live video and audio to any viewers who join your broadcast through the app itself or a live link on Twitter.
Periscope incorporates notifications and locations as well as social sharing, live discussion, and feedback. After a broadcast is over, others can watch and replay with the option to provide feedback within 24 hours. Each of your broadcasts can also be saved to your mobile devices afterwards—and shared online, just like any other video—for follow up material to post on your other platforms to increase engagement.
The nature of live video emphasizes authenticity—something that can get lost in scheduled social content, if you're not careful—and help you establish a more personal relationship with your community.
It also fosters urgency with the content you are creating, because your viewers need to tune in right away if they want to catch it as it happens. This sense of exclusivity appeals to some audiences. As an example, in April of last year, Target used Periscope to promote its Lilly Pulitzer line, offering exclusive content as a strategy that helped Target stores sell out of 90 percent of the designer line upon its release.
So don't force it into your content calendar, but if you're genuinely excited about an event and believe your community will want to participate in it too, Periscope is worth a test run.

Home Travel Catching Gold Fever in the Yukon
Catching Gold Fever in the Yukon
Bobbie Hasselbring
Photography: Anne Weaver
Canada's Yukon Territory is bigger than we ever imagined. We were struck again and again by the beauty of this magnificent region that covers nearly 187,000 square miles, just south of the Arctic Circle. It has high mountain ranges, and deep, clear lakes, thick spruce and poplar forests, and sweeping tundra plains. It also boasts a rich history, communities of warm and friendly people, and miles of traffic-free road and RV parks and campgrounds with all the amenities we needed for a long trip.
We began our Yukon adventure in Whitehorse, Yukon's capital, where nearly two-thirds of the area's 34,000 residents live. Rather than make the drive (about 1,800 miles) between Portland, Ore., and the Yukon, we flew in and rented a motorhome. Because the area is popular with RVers – many who fly in from Europe – RV rentals are plentiful (see below: "RV Rental Agencies in Whitehorse").
After a quick orientation to our 22-foot Class C motorhome, we purchased groceries at Fireweed Community Farmer's Market, including local specialties such as fireweed honey and Arctic char, a fish that tastes like a trout that married a salmon.
Then it was on to Dawson City and Discovery Days, the town's annual celebration of the Klondike Gold Rush. Though it was the height of tourist season, traffic was light and the Klondike Highway's mostly well-maintained pavement allowed us to sail along at a good clip. We kept a sharp eye out for occasional frost heaves that turned the road into hills and valleys, and the two bears that lumbered into our path reminded us not to break speed records.
Step Back into History
Six hours later, just before 6 p.m., we rolled into Dawson City. Since this is the land of the midnight sun and the sun does not set until after 11 p.m., it looked like early afternoon. We arrived just in time to hop aboard the Klondike Spirit, a paddleboat that tours the glacial Yukon River. After our long drive, the peaceful riverboat ride was a great way to relax.
The entire town of Dawson City is a National Historic Site. This community of 1,900 looks much like it did in the Klondike Gold Rush of 1898-99. False-front wooden buildings, dirt streets, wooden sidewalks, and resident placer miners and dog mushers make for a Wild West feel. Some of the old buildings have been restored; others are quietly turning to dust.
We began exploring the town's gritty, golden history at the visitor center on Front Street, where we found mining and natural history displays, historic videos, and visitor literature and maps, including self-guided walking tours. Across the street, the Dänojà Zho Cultural Center gave us a glimpse of the history and culture of the First Nations people. We also drove by the pioneer cabins of legendary writers Jack London, Robert Service and Pierre Berton, though tours were closed when we arrived. And, like miners a hundred years ago, we stopped at Diamond Tooth Gerties Gambling Hall (Canada's oldest operating casino) for a quick game of blackjack and a peek at the scantily clad cancan dancers.
We also caught the "fever," gold fever that is, and tried our luck at gold panning. We drove nine miles up a dusty gravel road to Claim 33, where Jenny, who's been panning since she was a girl, gave us pointers in troughs "salted" with gold flecks. We panned a tiny vial of gold that inflamed our fever. We rented a shovel and gold pan ($2 each) and, with visions of our pockets bulging with nuggets, headed to the free Klondike Visitors Association gold claim on Bonanza Creek. Alas, like many Klondike miners, we came up empty-handed. Heading back, we toured Dredge No. 4 National Historic Site, the largest wooden-hulled, bucket line dredge in North America – an impressive monster that chewed up the landscape for 60 years in search of gold.
Back in town, we watched the fun and funky Discovery Days parade that included local firetrucks, homemade floats and lots of candy thrown to kids. Someone tossed me a pingpong ball with a message to return it to the Fortymile Gold Workshop and Studio for a $20 gold-filled glass bead. At last, I'd struck it rich!
We had decided we'd alternate between staying at RV parks and at hotels and lodges. It enabled us to relax after long miles on the road and experience the hospitality of both. Our first night in Dawson City, we stayed in the motorhome at Bonanza Gold Motel and RV Park a few miles outside of town because it offered more space. We also cooked up the deliciously mild and sweet Arctic char for dinner.
Most Yukon RV parks have gravel parking areas with smallish trees, and Bonanza is no different. This Good Sam park has all the amenities – 15 to 50 amps, free Wi-Fi, cable TV, and full service and pull-throughs. For us, the best part was Bonanza's customer service. When our black-water tank failed to empty, manager Sarah came to our rescue, first with a referral to an RV shop (they were booked), then with telephone advice from her mechanic friend, and finally (and successfully) with hands-on help from her employee, Rae, who'd full-timed for two years.
Early the next morning, we took the free ferry over the roiling, silty Yukon River to the Top of the World Highway, one of the planet's great roadways. As soon as we rolled off the ferry, the road climbed up and up and up until the dizzying views of sweeping tundra-covered hills convinced us we were, indeed, on top of the world.
At the Alaska border, the road went from well-maintained gravel to dirt. Then the road turned really bad. Rains had washed out portions of Taylor Highway. After being closed for weeks, the highway had reopened with two daily, pilot-led convoys. We arrived in plenty of time and promptly at 9 a.m., a long, dusty line of vehicles took off, making us glad we were one of the first in line. It took two hours to travel 13 miles on this twisting dirt road. At Chicken, Alaska, a tiny community that consists of a caf̩, gift store and RV park, the convoy ended and we pulled off to reward ourselves with one of its legendary cinnamon rolls Рand a Chicken, Alaska, refrigerator magnet.
We looped back into Canada, reaching the community of Beaver Creek around 6 p.m. We pulled into Westmark RV Park and the lighthearted, Canadian-themed Rendezvous Dinner Theatre next door with its comical Royal Canadian Mounted Police master of ceremonies proved just the thing to unkink our funny bones after a long day.
Glaciers and Grizzlies
The scenery along the Alaska Highway between Beaver Creek and Kluane National Park is spectacular, with soaring peaks and miles of lakes filled with nesting swans and goslings. The land here is so big, it's difficult to get a sense of perspective. But thawing tundra also made the road a frost heave roller coaster. Just outside of Burwash Landing, we took a road break at the Kluane Museum of Natural History. This surprisingly sophisticated museum features displays and dioramas of the area's wildlife – caribou, moose, black and grizzly bear, lynx, wolves, coyote – and gave us an appreciation for the natural cycles of this special region.
We also stopped at Cottonwood RV Park, arguably one of the prettiest in the Yukon. Nestled between Kluane Lake and the St. Elias Mountains, Cottonwood offers hookups (limited to 15 amps), pull-throughs, a shower house, hot tub and grassy areas. You can also fish for grayling and lake trout right from your door.
In Haines Junction, we hopped a six-seater plane with Sifton Air for a breathtaking glacier flight-see. Minutes after takeoff, we were engulfed by giant snow-capped peaks and endless rivers of ice.
Despite the razor-close proximity of ice fields, jagged cliffs and pools of crystalline turquoise water, we were never afraid. We were captivated by the unearthly beauty and busily snapped photo after photo.
After our exhilarating flight, we spent the night at Dalton Trail Lodge, one of the oldest fishing camps in the area. While this lodge doesn't offer RV camping, its parking lot can accommodate lodge guests with motorhomes. Its European-style lakeside rooms are comfortable and its meals are delicious. You can fish, hike, canoe, motorboat, play tennis or simply relax. We opted for a two-hour hike to St. Elias Lake for a paddle in one of the lodge's canoes.
The lodge's owner, Trix, made sure we had water, sandwiches and the all-important bear spray (tear gas for bears). The St. Elias Trail angled up and then up some more, making us pant and sweat, despite the overcast weather and cool temperatures. The bear spray bumping from my waist reminded me that a bear could be anywhere and we kept up a loud stream of conversation to alert them (bears hate surprises!). By the time we arrived at the lake, clouds threatened rain, but we'd come too far to turn back.
We slipped the aluminum canoe into the dark water and fell into the familiar rhythm of paddling with an old friend. Halfway across the lake, we heard the haunting call of a lone loon and watched as he dove only to re-emerge 20 yards away. When we turned our canoe homeward, rain spattered us, making us glad we'd packed some light rain gear.
The following morning, we met Ron Chambers, a First Nations elder who operates boat tours in Kathleen Lake, named after his pioneering grandmother. While the weather was blustery and the lake choppy, Chambers' wide, flat-bottomed boat stayed stable and its cover kept us snug. We landed on a distant shore and took a short hike to see the remains of his grandmother's trapping cabin. As we stared at the tumbledown log remains of the 10 x 10 shelter, it was difficult to imagine the rigors Kathleen endured raising eight children here.
Before leaving Haines Junction, we stopped at Raven Hotel Restaurant, renowned for its gourmet food, to enjoy an amazing meal of musk ox and venison, a wonderful final Yukon meal. Then we hit the road for Whitehorse and an early morning flight home feeling both exhilarated by our Yukon RV adventure and sad to be leaving this truly magnificent country.

Q: Cant instantiate a prefab from another script I cant instantiate a prefab from another script, it does nothing and gives me no errors. In the same "play" i can instantiate the same prefab from the same script multiple times but if i try to do it by executing the same method from another script it doesnt work.... i pass some variables and print them ( it work) but instatiation is doing nothing....please help!
I tried to solve it by:
public GameObject reference,
UnityEvents and
Ataching both scripts in one object
Script One
void OnEnable()
{
    EventSystemManager.StartListening("printMessage", AddMessage);
}

public void AddMessage(string message )
{
    GameObject remoteMessage = Instantiate(localMessagePrefab,
    chatTransform);
    remoteMessage.transform.GetChild(0).GetComponentInChildren<Text>
    ().text = message;
}

Script Two
public IEnumerator StartWebSocket()
{
    using (ws = new WebSocket(serveradress))
    {
        ws.OnOpen += (sender, e) =>
        onOpenHandler();
        ws.OnMessage += (sender, e) =>
        onMessageHandler(e.Data);
        ws.OnError += (sender, e) =>
        onErrorHandler(e);
        ws.OnClose += (sender, e) =>
        onCloseHandler(e);
        ws.Connect();
        for (; ; )
        {
            yield return null;
        }
    }
}

private async void onMessageHandler(string e)
{
    serverMessage = JsonUtility.FromJson<serverMssg>(e);
    EventSystemManager.TriggerEvent("printMessage",
    serverMessage.normmsg);
    await miaApi.queueAnim(serverMessage.normmsg);
}

The message is passed but instantiation do nothing....
The only thing i detect in debugging is that transform dissapears when tryng to do it from other script:
from the same script:

from another script:

Also there is a video (without sound)
The video doesnt use events but is exactly the same behavior
Video
TIA!

A: I don't know how the EventSystemManager works.
In case the issue is actually the async and multi-threading you could try a simple "dispatcher" for passing callbacks back to the main thread:
public class MainThreadDispatcher : MonoBehaviour
{
    private static MainThreadDispatcher _instance;
    public static MainThreadDispatcher Instance
    {
        get
        {
            if(!_instance)
            {
                _instance = new GameObject("MainThreadDispatcher").AddComponent<MainThreadDispatcher>();

                DontDestroyOnLoad(_instance.gameObject);
            }

            return _instance;
        }
    }

    private ConcurrentQueue<Action> actions = new ConcurrentQueue<Action>();

    private void Update()
    {
        // work the queue in the main thread
        while(actions.TryDequeue(out var action))
        {
            action?.Invoke();
        }
    }

    public void Dispatch(Action action)
    {
        actions.Enqueue(action);
    }
}

and then use it to make sure the callback is done in the main thread
private MainThreadDispatcher mainThreadDispatcher;

void OnEnable()
{
    // before dispatching stuff make sure an instance reference is optained
    // or is created in the main thread
    mainThreadDispatcher = MainThreadDispatcher.Instance;

    EventSystemManager.StartListening("printMessage", AddMessage);
}

// might be executed in a thread
public void AddMessage(string message )
{
    // instead of directly executing the code wait for the main thread
    // either using a lambda expression
    mainThreadDispatcher.Dispatch(() =>
        {
            GameObject remoteMessage = Instantiate(localMessagePrefab,
            chatTransform);
            remoteMessage.transform.GetChild(0).GetComponentInChildren<Text>
            ().text = message;
        });

    // or if you prefer a method
    //mainThreadDispatcher.Dispatch(HandleAddMessage);
}

// should be only executed in the main thread
private void HandleAddMessage()
{
    GameObject remoteMessage = Instantiate(localMessagePrefab,
    chatTransform);
    remoteMessage.transform.GetChild(0).GetComponentInChildren<Text>
    ().text = message;
}

Quick Facts of Andrea Spendolini-Sirieix
Alex Spendolini
Fred Sirieix
Social Media of : Andrea Spendolini-Sirieix
A well-known British diver is Andrea Spendolini-Sirieix. At the 2020 FINA Diving Grand Prix, she won the international gold medal.
On September 11, 2004, Andrea was born in London, England. She is 17 years old and of English nationality as of 2022. Her ethnicity is unknown at this time, though.
She was conceived by her father, French hotel host Fred Sirieix, and his ex-wife Alex Spendolini. Regarding her siblings, she has a brother by the name of Lucien.
French maître d'hôtel and reality TV personality Fred Sirieix is her father.
She hasn't yet provided any additional information about her academic career.
At the 2018 British Diving Championships, she and a teammate from the Crystal Palace Diving Club took first place in the women's 10m synchronized diving competition. She teamed up with Emily Martin to win the women's synchronized diving event at the Junior European Championships in Kazan that same year.
She won the Women's 10m Platform discipline at the British Diving Championships in 2020 with a single gold medal. Spendolini-Sirieix earned her first international gold medal at the FINA Grand Prix in Rostock after a few weeks.

Loyalists Roughing It in the Bush
Loyalists have a knack of popping up in the most unexpected places in literature. In Roughing it in the Bush, Susanna Moodie's classic account of pioneering in Upper Canada, the author describes a number of her encounters with Loyalists who lived near her.
Identifying him solely as "Uncle Joe", Moodie recounted the immigrant experience of one of her loyalist neighbours. Uncle Joe's father had been a New Englander who, instead of taking a grant of land in a Loyalist township, chose a plot of land that was noted for its good spring of water. Uncle Joe remembered his alcoholic father as drinking "up a good farm in the United States, and then he thought he could not do better than turn loyal and get one here for nothing. He did not a care a cent, not he, for the King of England. He thought himself as good, anyhow."
On the advice of a woman who said that fresh water would help the Loyalist cope with his rheumatism, Uncle Joe's father chose "poor, light, stone land on account of the spring, and took to hard work and drinking cold water in his old age." It must have had some beneficial effect for over the next 20 years the Loyalist was healthy enough to clear his hundred acres of land and plant a fine orchard.
No doubt Susanna Moodie could sympathize with Uncle Joe. It wasn't easy to establish a homestead in "the bush". Born in England in 1803, Susanna Strickland was a published author before the age of 20. In addition to children's books, she wrote about Roman history and was involved in the British abolition movement. At twenty-seven, Susanna married John Moodie, a retired army officer. In the following year, the Moodies and their baby daughter immigrated to Upper Canada, settling in a township north of present day Peterborough, Ontario.
Twenty years later, Susanna wrote Roughing it in the Bush, the book that brought her the greatest fame. Rather than being a guide for potential immigrants (as her editor intended), Moodie's book was more of a cautionary tale – a very frank account of the trials and tribulations that were part of the experience of settling in Upper Canada. In addition to sharing observations on local geography, society, and wildlife, Roughing it in the Bush also introduces its readers to a motley crew of the colony's settlers – including the loyal American refugees who had preceded Susanna and her family.
A second neighbour – who Susanna described as "Mrs. H." – had settled in Upper Canada with her husband almost 40 years before the Moodie family. The "H" couple decided to leave the United States for the British colony in the midst of the "great winter". Mrs. H. remembered that the snow was deep enough to block all the roads, allowing them to drive a sleigh over the tops of fences.
"All the cleared land was one wide white level plain; it was a year of scarcity, and we were half-starved; but the severe cold was far worse nor the want of provisions. A long and bitter journey we had of it; but I was young then, and pretty well used to trouble and fatigue".
Mrs. H's husband "stuck to the British government. More fool he!" She was "an American born, and my heart was with the true cause". Her husband, she said, "dragged me from my comfortable fireside to seek a home in the far Canadian wilderness."
As well as looking after her own son, Mrs. H. was breastfeeding the newborn baby of her sister who had died giving it birth. "We had to perform a journey of four hundred miles in an ox-cart, which carried, besides me and the children, all our household stuff. Our way lay chiefly through the forest and we made but slow progress. Oh! What a bitter cold night it was when we reached the swampy woods where the city of Rochester now stands. The oxen were covered in icicles, and their breath sent up clouds of steam."
The young family survived the night in the woods thanks to the hospitality of two French woodsmen who welcomed them into their shanty, sharing a hot meal and their warm buffalo hides. When Mrs. H. had an occasion to return to the place where the woodsmen's shanty once stood, she saw Rochester's largest hotel. (By the 1830s, Rochester had seen its population double in just ten years, giving it the distinction of being America's first "boomtown". By 1838, it was the young republic's greatest flour-producer.) Disgusted, Mrs. H. told Moodie: "And my husband left this fine growing country to starve here!"
Susanna Moodie's third loyalist neighbour was "an old soldier… who had served during the American war". This Ned Layton was "a perfect ruffian; a man no one liked, and whom all feared. He was a deep drinker, a great swearer, in short, a perfect reprobate; who never cultivated his land, but went jobbing about from farm to farm, trading horses and cattle, and cheating in a pettifogging way".
While one might think that Moodie had a negative view of Upper Canada's loyalist settlers, Roughing it in the Bush contains a very positive summary of the young colony's society. Given that she wrote her tribute 50 years after the first loyal refugees began to make their homes along Lake Ontario, Moodie was describing the legacy left to Upper Canada by its loyalist pioneers.
"Canada has few, if any, native beggars; her objects of charity are generally imported from the mother country, and these are never suffered to want food or clothing. The Canadians are a truly charitable people; no person in distress is driven with harsh and cruel language from their doors; they not only generously relieve the wants of suffering strangers cast upon their bounty, but they nurse them in sickness, and use every means in their power to procure them employment. The number of orphan children yearly adopted by wealthy Canadians, and treated in every respect as their own, is incredible."
In another part of her pioneer memoir, Moodie proclaimed, "Canada! Thou art a noble, free, and rising country – the great fostering mother of the orphans of civilization!"
The phrase "orphans of civilization" is certainly an apt one for the Loyalist refugees of the American Revolution. And like any group of humans, there were bound to be a few "perfect ruffians" in the mix. Thanks to what she recorded in Roughing it in the Bush, Susanna Moodie has given posterity a richer – if not always complimentary – picture of Canada's loyalist pioneers.
Atlantic Loyalist Connections: The Loyalist's Disloyalty: The Case of Zimri Armstrong
By Isabelle Goguen, 24 October 2018
Throughout the American Revolutionary War, the British government granted enslaved persons of colour their freedom in exchange for their service. The Philipsburg Proclamation issued on June 30th, 1779, by the British Army General Sir Henry Clinton, is one example of such. Accordingly, Zimri Armstrong served in the Revolutionary War and it would have been during this time that he would have been introduced to Samuel Jarvis. Samuel Jarvis, from Stamford Connecticut, fled to New York in 1776 and initially found employment with the commissariat – this department was in charge of supplying the British troops with food. Once the British evacuated out of New York, Jarvis was in charge of public accounts and papers; this position would eventually demand that he move to England. Presumably, this is when Armstrong indentured himself to the Connecticut Loyalist for two years on the condition that Jarvis would pay Armstrong and his family's passage out of America, as well as establish him in a trade after the two years.
Jarvis, his young family and Armstrong travelled to Great Britain; however, shortly after the move, on July 12th, 1783, Jarvis was terminated from his position attending to public accounts and papers. Unlike his brother, William Jarvis, who remained in England, Jarvis decided to relocate to British North America, settling in Parr Town, present-day Saint John. However, Jarvis only remained in Saint John for one year, returning to Stamford, Connecticut.
Borealia: Book Review – Property and Dispossession: Natives, Empires and Land in Early Modern North America
Property and Dispossession: Natives, Empires and Land in Early Modern North America, by Allan Greer. Reviewed by Gregory Kennedy.
This ambitious book considers "the ways in which Europeans and their Euro-American descendants remade New World space as they laid claim to the continent's resources, extended the reach of empire and established polities and jurisdictions for themselves". Greer's principal goal is to challenge the notion inherited from the Enlightenment that property was "a single thing, a hallmark of civilization and modernity". By exploding a binary conception of property in which Europeans had it and Native Americans did not, Greer highlights the diversity of practices of property formation across three primary zones – the central uplands of Mesoamerica, southern New England, and the St. Lawrence Valley. Each zone was a principal area of settlement of New Spain, New England, and New France respectively, as well as home to a wide range of Indigenous cultures. However, as Greer admits, this focus does neglect other indigenous and colonial spaces, notably along the periphery or frontiers of these regions. He does helpfully provide brief mentions and historiographical notes for places like Acadie, but I could not help but wonder if more study outside the central zones of European settlement would have helped further the arguments about the diversity of property formation practices and the relative importance of indigenous and settler agency.

Juvenile Arrested in Armed Robbery - St. John Sheriff's Dept.
On Friday, July 24, 2015, at 7:41pm, St. John The Baptist Sheriff's Office responded to the area of Annex Dr. in Reserve in reference to the report of an armed robbery. The victim, an 11 year old male, who resides in Reserve stated to deputies that he was approached by a large group of juveniles who demanded he relinquish his bicycle. Once the victim refused to relinquish his bicycle to the group of juveniles, one of the perpetrators threatened the victim with a pair of "pliers" if he did not surrender the bicycle. The victim eventually gave up control of his bicycle after threats of harm were made by one perpetrator.
The victim was later relocated to the Detective Bureau where he positively identified the perpetrator in a line up. The perpetrator, a 15 year old male from Laplace, was arrested by detectives that evening and booked for armed robbery. He is presently incarcerated at the Assumption Youth Detention Center.

Whatever happened to Johnny Ringo's guns?
September 2010 Marshall Trimble

Steve Gatto, Ringo's biographer, says Johnny's rifle, pistol and wallet were returned to his family in San Jose, California, after the cowboy allegedly shot himself in 1882.
According to Jack Burrows's book John Ringo: The Gunfighter Who Never Was, the rifle was reportedly lost as a result of or somehow in connection to the 1906 San Francisco earthquake and fire. The pistol made its way into a private collection, where it remains.

Q: Can I specify a Store on a Ember js model? I am trying to use multiple stores in Ember because I have namespaced models on the api side.
Aka
App.Gl.Account = DS.Model.extend //Needs to route to /gl/accounts

App.Company = DS.Model.extend //Routes to /companies

My first thought was to define a namespace
App.Gl = Ember.Namespace.create({});
//and a store
App.Gl.Store = DS.Store.extend({adapter:DS.RESTAdapter({namespace:'gl'})});
App.Store = DS.Store.extend({adapter:DS.RESTAdapter})

problem is the model is automatically binded to the App.Store.
Any other suggestions on how to accomplish namespaced models would be helpful. I dont even need them namespaced on the client js side, as long as there is an easy way to specify the namespace for each individual model

A: In newer versions of ember (I'm running 1.5.0-beta.1+canary.13995621, and 1.4 also seems to lack the registerAdapter method) the api has changed a bit, the registerAdapter method is gone.
Now if you would like a non default adpter for a model you can define a App.<ModelName>Adapter and that will automatically be used for that model.
So if you have a Post model and you would like to define the namespace for that model, I think that would be:
App.PostAdapter = DS.RESTAdapter.extend({
  namespace: 'gl'
})

A: You should never have more than one store in an Ember application.
Instead, you can register adapters for specific types:
App.Store.registerAdapter('App.Post', DS.RESTAdapter.extend({
  // implement adapter; in this case
  url: "/gl"
}));

You will probably want to use the RESTAdapter as a starting point, unless you have specific needs and are willing to get down and dirty with the (still evolving) adapter API.

A: There's no longer a registerAdapter method.
For Ember 2:

Model-specific adapters can be created by putting your adapter class in an app/adapters/ + model-name + .js file of the application.

Гийем Бергеданский или Гийермо де Бергеда (; 1130? — 1195/1196) — каталонский трубадур, писавший на окситанском языке, от которого дошло до нас больше всего текстов. Источниками о жизни поэта могут служить сборник стихов (Los Cancioneros), документы того времени и собственные сочинения поэта.

Жизнь
Виконтство Бергеда находилось в зависимости от графства Сердань. Первые известия о виконтах относятся к X веку. В 1131 году появляется в документах имя Гийермо Бергеда, отца трубадура, и в 1138 появляется первое упоминание о трубадуре, когда можно увидеть его детскую подпись рядом с подписью отца в официальном документе. Поздние данные указывают, что у него было три младших брата: Рамон, Беренгер и Бернардо. Можно предположить, что детство и юность Гийермо де Бергеда было похоже на взросление других персонажей этой эпохи. Каталония находилась в процессе становления, поддерживая тесные контакты с территорией Аквитании. Внутренние разборки чередовались войнами с сарацинами.

Некоторые сирвенты (sirventeses) сообщают о его тюремном заключении за преступления до 1175 года. Но именно эта дата явилась важной для всей последующей жизни. 3 марта этого года он предательски (не благородно) убил Ramon Folc, виконта Кардоны. Виконт, вероятно, очень ненавидел трубадура, который оскорбил и унизил его в нескольких сборниках стихов. Скорее всего, виконт использовал своё большое влияние, которое имел при дворе короля Альфонсо I. Взаимная вражда привела к смерти. Последствия убийства не заставили себя долго ждать. Гильем Феррер был вынужден скрыться и покинуть Каталонию. Он потерял титул виконта, который принадлежал ему как старшему сыну. И, хотя им и было унаследовано некоторая семейная собственность, он так и не смог получить от него удовольствие. В течение семи лет нет данных о жизни трубадура. Можно представить его в образе беглеца, без друзей, которые могли бы помочь. Напуганного возможным наказанием. Если верить Жизни Певца (la Vida del Cancionero), в Бергеда традиционно не оказывалось уважение к жёнам, дочерям и сёстрам. Поэтому, похоже. что единственным человеком, с которым трубадур поддерживал постоянные отношения был Arnau de Castellbò. Известны случаи, когда он защищал и помогал ему. Нет сомнений, что трубадур смог организовать в этот период небольшую группу, которая занималась незаконной деятельностью на каталонской территории. В это же время, он совершил паломничество в Сантьяго-де-Компостела.

В 1180 годах вновь появляются сведения о трубадуре. Так, в завещании его отца, 1183 года, он значится как наследник замков Мадрона (известно как Замок Бергеда), Кассерас, Пучреч, Эспиналбет и Монтмажор, феод, которым владел Hugo Mataplana. Благодаря нескольким сирвентам известного провансальского трубадура Бертран де Борн, который являлся его хорошим другом, мы знаем о его ссорах, с королём Альфонсо I. Правда в 1185 году и позже, похоже, что он помирился с монархом. Его имя упоминается при перечислении свиты короля. От 1187 года доходит оригинал завещания Гийермо Бергеда, согласно которому от передал замок Пучреч и местечко Fenollet в Орден тамплиеров, а все остальное имущество, за исключением небольшого имущества, предназначенного Мальтийскому Ордену, передавалось брату Беренгар. Четвёртая часть из этого принадлежала брату Бернат. который должен дать одну четверть Бернат. Завещание нам подсказывает, как можно было и предположить, что трубадур обладал значительной феодальной и экономической властью. Из документа следует, что он не был женат, и не имел известных признанных наследников.

После подписания завещания, он исчезает из списка королевской свиты и мы снова видим его в ссоре с королём Альфонсо I, которого высмеивает в стихах. В 1190 году, Гуийермо де Бергеда, обиженный на короля и ненавидемый архиепископом Таррагоны, объявляет в стихах, обращённых к своему другу Arnau de Castellbò, что отправляется ко двору Альфонсо VIII Кастилии. Последний в это время был союзником короля Наварры против Альфонсо Арагонского.
Последние годы жизни трубадура отмечены участием в феодальных распрях каталанских, землях. Главным образом, на стороне виконта Arnau de Castellbò и Ponç de Cabrera против короля, епископа и графа Урхель. Известно, что трубадур был убит между 1195 и 1196 годами каким-то солдатом, скорее всего по приказу одного из своих врагов.
