Changing the name of VUW – and the law
December 6, 2018Article, Education, Frontpage, Opinion, Politics4 comments
by Sir Kenneth Keith
My principal reason [for supporting the petition asking for proper consultation with members of a university before the name of any university is changed] is that the proposed change is needed to create clarity in the legal position and thereby avoid unnecessary litigation.
First, some background. In 1989-1990, when I was a Law Commissioner, I chaired committees consisting of senior University representatives and senior departmental officials, as part of the Learning for Life process. We were charged with the task of elaborating the critical principles of academic freedom and institutional autonomy; that work resulted in sections 160 and 161 of the Education Act 1989 as added by the Education Amendment Act 1990.
I was also involved in the preparation of the statement about the characteristics of four types of tertiary institutions; see particularly s 162(4) (a) for the distinctive characteristics of universities. (I may be seen as having some responsibility in relation to the Ministerial power given by section 162(5). If so mea culpa!)
The 1990 Amendment Act also repealed the provisions of the Acts for the then six universities, in Dunedin, Christchurch, Wellington, Palmerston North, Hamilton and Auckland, concerning administrative and financial matters. Two important provisions, however, remained, all essentially in the same form. For convenience, I take those provisions from the Victoria University of Wellington Act 1961.
Section 3, headed Constitution of the University, contains four subsections, the first and second being most important –
Subsection (1) sets out the purpose; the University is established for the advancement, dissemination and maintenance of knowledge by teaching and research;
Subsection (2) says that the University consists of people, not bricks and mortar, libraries, laboratories, courses …; the members of the Council, the professors emeriti, the professors, the lecturers, the Registrar, the librarian, the graduates and undergraduates and others including some of the graduates of the University of New Zealand which was dissolved from 1 January 1962;
Subsection (3) provides that the University is a body corporate; and
Subsection (4) declares that the University is the same institution as the earlier institutions going back to Victoria College (1897), Victoria University College (1933) and Victoria University of Wellington (1957 when the institution was still associated with the University of New Zealand).
The other substantive provision of the 1961 Act is section 4. It provides that there is to be a Court of Convocation of the University. It is to consist of the persons whose names are enrolled on a register kept by the Registrar in terms of a statute made by the Council. The Court has the power to make representations to the Council on any matter concerning the interests of the University.
The 1990 Amendment Act contains other possibly relevant provisions. Section 162(1) provides that the Act has effect as if each body listed in Part 1 of Schedule 13 was established as a University under subsection (2). That schedule lists all the seven Universities in existence then (ie without the Auckland University of Technology). But, as is recognised by the phrase 'as if', that is a fiction. They already existed. I do not see the provision as significant in the current context.
What is significant is section 162(5), introduced in 1990. As the Committee need not be told it empowers the Minister of Education, on the recommendation of the Council of the institution concerned, to change the name of the institution by Gazette notice. That power applies to all four categories of institutions – colleges of education, polytechnics and wananga as well as universities. Such notices have been made, but not in respect of any university. All the changes to the names of universities have been made by Acts of Parliament, except for the University of Otago, established by an Ordinance of the Province of Otago in 1869, the year before the University of New Zealand came into existence. It has maintained its name throughout.
I now turn to the issue of uncertainty.
Does the Minister have the power under section 162(5) not just to change the name of a University but also the particular Acts of Parliament using that name? My initial answer would be 'No'. It is contrary to long established legal principle for a subordinate instrument, in this case not even a regulation made by the Governor-General in Council, to amend an Act of Parliament, unless that power is clearly conferred by statute; for an instance see the International Terrorism (Emergency Powers) Act 1987, section 6(6).
Perhaps an argument to the contrary may be made; and, as a one-time judge, I would prefer to hear the arguments before coming to a definite conclusion. (It may be of interest that the VUW administration has said that Parliamentary action by way of an amending Act would be needed were the Minister to accept its recommended change.)
If that initial answer is correct, the university in question would have two legal names until Parliament had acted and had endorsed the Minister's decision. In the interim or if Parliament did not agree, under which name would the university enter into contracts, under the authority of which would the Chancellor confer degrees … .
The addition of section 301A in 1998 to the 1989 Act introduces further confusion. It empowers the Governor-General by order in council to change the name of any 'education entity' whose name is to be specified under this section. The expression is not defined and does not appear, on my reading, anywhere else in the Education Act 1989. But on its face it may well be read as applying to universities and other tertiary bodies. If it does, does it replace the Ministerial power in section 162(5) and impliedly repeal that earlier enacted provision? The explanatory note to the Bill from which this section appeared says, however, that '[t]he entities affected are the Special Education Service, the Early Childhood Development Unit, the Education and Training Support Agency and the Careers Service. Until their names are changed under the new section, they retain their existing names.' (Education Legislation Amendment Bill (1998) p xii. If read in that way, is the provision now spent?
As I indicated in my first paragraph, this lack of clarity, with the prospect of dispute and litigation, is the principal reason for my strongly supporting the Petition.
Other reasons relate to the question whether the Regulations Review Committee would have jurisdiction over the Ministerial notice; the lack of flexibility in the Minister's authority-the only answers are yes or no; no room for conditions or transition or protection of rights (although the last may not be much of an issue-many of us have University of New Zealand degrees and have not been fussed about its disappearance); and the public character of the Parliamentary process, especially given that in the case of the VUW, at least, there appears to be no Council statute relating to the Court of Convocation.
Recommendation – I agree with the petitioner's prayer for relief.
This evidence from Sir Kenneth Keith, supported by Sir Geoffrey Palmer, was presented yesterday to Parliament's education and workforce committee which was considering a petition signed by 2032 people requesting legislation specifying that any name change of a university incorporated by an empowering Act can only be made by amending Act after consultation with members of that university.

You almost have to feel a bit sorry for Guilford walking into such a large calibre gunfight with only a knife….
Michael Gibson, 6. December 2018, 10:05
I recall making the helpful suggestion, some four months ago, that, in the face of likely litigation, the VUW Council should seek a Declaratory Judgment in the High Court that it was on the right tracks. I am pleased that this suggestion was published and brought to the attention of the Council.
I recall also seeing Sir Kenneth at the fatal VUW Council meeting where the legally suspect decision was passed (with two members dissenting).
There is no way that the Minister of Education can now acquiesce in the personality-driven demands of the misguided majority who voted for the name-change.
Leviathan, 7. December 2018, 8:47
The whole problem is ridiculous and can be solved simply, by means of punctuation, without learned legal jurisdiction.
Currently, the name of the university is Victoria University, of Wellington.
Simply moving the position if the comma: Victoria, University of Wellington.

Problem solved. Zero cost. Thank you. Bill's in the post.

The punctuation solution is a wonderful compromise.
What fee does the learned scribe expect for applied common sense.

Unintended Consequences of Lawlessness
Is the 2 Tier Justice system affecting you?
"On April 9, 2014, the House Committee on Ways and Means voted to send a letter to the Department of Justice referring former IRS Exempt Organizations Division Director Lois G. Lerner for criminal prosecution. As indicated in the attached letter, the Committee's nearly three-year investigation uncovered evidence of willful misconduct on the part of Ms. Lerner. Despite this fact, and for what many believe were purely partisan reasons, the prior Administration refused to review Ms. Lerner's misconduct."
Representatives Brady and Roskam :
When FBI director James Comey listed crime after crime committed by Hillary Clinton and then told us that no criminal charges would be brought because he decided she didn't intend to break the law, a new and dangerous era of lawlessness was ushered in across the bureaucracies we now call 'the deep state'. But the infamous Clinton exoneration was only the latest high profile politically connected person to escape literally any punishment for criminal activity while serving in a top level government position. The number of examples of the politically connected or the rich and powerful going unpunished for exactly the same crimes for which less connected citizens are imprisoned for years has been growing for decades.
Hillary's exoneration followed so closely the exposure of Lois Lerner's criminal activities at the IRS that the reality of how easily and often government insiders can go unpunished was finally recognized by even the most casual observer. Simultaneously there was stark contrast between Lerner's and Hillary's lack of punishment to the prison sentence ordered for Kristian Saucer. Saucer was the sailor whose cell phone was found in a waste transfer station in Groton, CT with six photos he had taken of himself while serving on a nuclear submarine. It was some accidental background of literally outdated instrumentation in his photos for which he was convicted.
So as more and more of this double standard becomes evident, the question becomes just how low on the totem can a government bureaucrat be and still get a pass on lawlessness? And more importantly, what bureaucracies are experiencing the most widespread participation?
While we are learning more about the integrity collapse within the FBI. The avalanche of corruption rolling down from the top in the FBI clearly has been addressed by replacing those most obviously involved. But the one bureau that most affects all of us seems to continue to escape scrutiny – the IRS.
Lois Lerner set the integrity bar so low by directing borderline criminal audits of organizations trying to block participation in the 2012 election, there can be no doubt that her influence spread throughout the entire IRS. She and those closest to her went unpunished. In fact few if any of the key operators in this horrific weaponizing of the Service by Obama supporters even lost their jobs. Some 'retired' with disgustingly lucrative benefits private workers can only dream about.
So with the precedent set and the politics of protection anchored deep within the government we now see an explosion in identity theft occurring in the form of tax refunds going to identity thieves. How is so much specific tax return personal information getting into the hands of identity thieves? The answer seems to point to the Service itself. Where else could so much information specific to a person's tax return be so easily available on such a widespread scale as to be an epidemic of crime? Has the climate of corruption become so acceptable that instead of working to identify the source of the crimes we simply throw up our hands and pay for one of the growing number of identity theft insurance policies. Thousands have been robbed, thousands more have suffered through hard fought recovery efforts as they ran into the stonewall of all stonewalls, the IRS operator.
Having insurance against these cyber crimes, as we now call them, is fine for the short term recovery. But what about a longer term solution? So long as we continue to expand the 2 tier justice system, to turn our heads away from the lawlessness by the politically powerful and their underlings committing obvious crimes, the more divided our justice system will become.
While only about one-third of people responding to popular polls now continue to fail to understand the crimes and political ambitions underlying the efforts to overthrow the President, those who have been most involved have yet to be brought to justice. Why? It would seem that their co-conspirators holding offices within the government and their supporters in the media are able to threaten and intimidate and even "impeach" anyone threatening to collapse this network that has for so long enjoyed living above the law.
Regardless of the outcome of the trial of Trump, there have been dozens of people breaking dozens of laws in an effort to remain so powerful they can continue to live above the laws under which the rest of us must suffer consequences.

The Company's strategy is to acquire complementary service companies in Western Canada, consolidating capital, management, and human resources to support continued growth. In the past few years, Enterprise has acquired Artic Therm International, Hart Oilfield Rentals, and Westar Oilfield Rentals.
In addition to reporting successful growth thanks to a robust acquisition business model, a diversified cashflow, multiple avenues of growth, and exposure across Western Canada, Enterprise has clearly differentiated itself through innovation. The company boasts 28 industrial design patents (Cdn and U.S.) for products they have invented, all of which are currently deployed in the field across the western region.
The client roster tells the story; among them —Encana, Suncor, Cenovus Energy, and Husky Energy.
On the ledger side of things, Enterprise reports solid numbers with $65 million in total assets, $50 million in appraised equipment/property assets, and a market capitalization of $22.1 million with an estimated value at $28.6 million. Despite the reduced activity during the second quarter (traditionally the slowest quarter in the industry cycle), the company generated positive cash flow from operations of $1,857,387 (for the six months ended June 30, 2018).
The company's philosophy is to respond "to an uncertain resource environment through proactive cost reductions and a disciplined capital deployment strategy". Their tactical innovations drive their exposure and growth at sites across Western Canada. Once the issues around the pipelines and other projects on the table are resolved, Enterprise is the company poised to make the biggest gains in their niche. With a near-term goal to reach $150 million in annual sales, they may very well surpass that number sooner than later.
To get the complete picture, check out the Enterprise Investor Presentation on their website.

English Capital One Cup: Manchester City vs Crystal Palace Prediction, Preview and Betting Tips
Manchester City will take on Crystal Palace in the fourth round of the League Cup at the Etihad Stadium on Wednesday night, hoping to continue their unbeaten run to six games in all competitions. Manchester City played excellent football against Sunderland in the third round of Capital One Cup at the Stadium of Light with an emphatic 4-1 victory. Crystal Palace also humiliated Charlton in 4-1 thrashing in the League Cup third round. Both sides met earlier this season which ended with a 1-0 victory for Manchester City at Selhurt Park.
Manchester City are in superb form throughout the season and have remained unbeaten in their last five fixtures across all competitions. Manchester made an impressive start to the campaign with victories against West Brom, Chelsea, Everton, Watford and Crystal Palace, but the team's performance faltered after the defeats against West Ham and Tottenham. Then, the outstanding 6-1 and 5-1 victories over Newcastle United and Bournemouth helped team to quickly regained its balance. Manchester City sits at the top of the table of the Premier League with 22 points having won 7 games, drawn 1 and lost 2.
Crystal Palace are in decent form this season, winning four games of their last eight games in all competitions. Crystal Palace entered into this game after two disappointing defeats in the Premier League against West Ham and Leicester City. The club are currently sitting seventh in the Premier league table with 15 points having won 5 games, drawn 0 and lost 5.
Manchester City are stronger than Crystal Palace in all areas of the game and are clear favorites to win this match. We predict Manchester City to win in both halves.

Tasty treats at legal firm

Commercial property lawyer leads the team
Charity wins after legal dispute
Staff from Martin-Kaye LLP Solicitors took a tasty break for elevenses to raise vital charity cash as part of this year's World's Biggest Coffee Morning.
Organiser June Noto, who co-ordinated the efforts of everyone involved to bake the cakes for the legal practice's event, said: "We wanted to encourage as many people to donate to Macmillan Cancer Support as possible, so we created a whole host of treats for people to try.
"Everyone has been incredibly generous and we're hoping to have raised a great amount for the appeal, which makes such a difference to people's lives.
"At Martin-Kaye, we're always keen to support charities in the local area, and we felt that taking part in an event like this would be an excellent opportunity for staff to mingle and raise money for a good cause at the same time."
The World's Biggest Coffee Morning is Macmillan Cancer Support's biggest fund raising event and it has been held since 1991.
At the first national event, 2,600 people registered to hold coffee mornings across the country, and since then, the project has raised over £60 million for Macmillan Cancer Support.
Last year 51,000 people signed up and raised a record £10 million. Organisers are hoping to raise even more this year, to help change the lives of people affected by cancer.

Martin-Kaye LLP Solicitors has extended its partnership with a local IT provider to create a deal that's believed to be one of the industry's longest running contracts.
We've signed up for another five years with e-know.net, taking our long-running partnership to 15 years.
Our senior partner, Graham Davies, said: "At Martin-Kaye, we were early pioneers of outsourced or fully managed IT provision, and we have now enjoyed ten years of consistent IT delivery from e-know.net. Their service has always been flexible and offers us cutting-edge technology, data security, a high degree of business continuity and responsive support.
"A decade on, we're as committed as ever to the concept of IT outsourcing, as it allows us to concentrate on our core business of supplying legal services without having to worry about how those services will be delivered and supported technically.
"It's a partnership that has already brought many benefits to our practice and we're looking forward to continuing our association with e-know.net in the years to come."
Nigel Redwood, e-know.net's managing director said: "We believe this may mark one of the longest, if not the longest, of this type of outsourced arrangement in the legal sector. Where Martin-Kaye led, many have now followed, but Martin-Kaye will always stand out as a pioneer.
"Our long-standing relationship has been instrumental in proving to many people the validity and efficiency of managed services as an alternative IT delivery method for legal companies.
"It has truly been a backbone to our success in the sector, so here's to the next ten years."

"The conference is a free Continuing Professional Development event and topics will include how to draft the perfect CV, interview techniques, how to become a judge, and how to become a CILEx partner or advocate."
Guest speakers on the day will include CILEx president Nick Hanning, and Hugh Anton-Stephens - a notary public and mental health tribunal judge.
Delegates will also be welcomed by Martin-Kaye LLP Solicitors' senior partner, Graham Davies.
"We're very pleased to be hosting an event which is set to attract some of the most dynamic young minds who are the future of the legal world. It's a great opportunity for young professionals to find out more about the options available to them and how the right training can open up so many doors."

Our commercial property team is in safe hands after the appointment of a new solicitor.
Clare Tierney is our new head of commercial property and she joins us after working for a leading commercial practice in north Staffordshire.
"I was particularly impressed with Martin-Kaye's client-centred approach and the innovative way they handle commercial business so it was a simple choice to decide to join them," said Clare."I'm looking forward to developing the team still further and building on the strong reputation the firm already enjoys across the local area and beyond."
Senior partner, Graham Davies, said Clare's experience made her a great choice for the key role as the head of the commercial property team.
"Our commercial property lawyers are a dynamic and forward-thinking group who pride themselves on the customer service they deliver, and Clare's leadership is set to carry them on to the next level."
We handle a broad range of commercial property work from landlord and tenant portfolio management to complex development deals.
We're one of the very few firms in the region to have such an excellent reputation all over the Midlands and the wider UK.

One of our lawyers took an unusual approach that has certainly paid off for Birmingham Children's Hospital.
Mohammed Ahsan was the lead lawyer on the case which had run for almost five years and had involved hours of legal arguments and court proceedings.
"The dispute arose because the first company lodged a claim and the second lodged a counterclaim, and neither side was prepared to give way. It became a matter of principle that neither company wanted to pay any money to the other side, and it looked as though we would have no option but to go to trial,
"But in a long and intense mediation session, I made one last attempt to resolve things and suggested our client would be prepared to pay £5,000 to a charity of the other side's choice in full and final settlement of the case," said Ahsan.
In a surprise twist, both companies accepted the deal and so Telford Copper Cylinders Limited has now donated the money to Birmingham Children's Hospital.
"Both companies agreed there would be no payment of legal fees and once the charity had been paid, the case would be over. This way both parties were able to resolve the issue, and charity is the winner at the end of the day."
Ahsan worked on the case with Paul Dean from St Philips barristers' chambers representing Telford Copper Cylinders in the Birmingham Technology and Construction Court.

WASHINGTON, D.C. -- In an exclusive one on one interview with CBS 6, Vice President Mike Pence said he is confident the American Health Care Act, Republican legislation that would begin to repeal and replace the Affordable Care Act or Obamacare, will pass the House Thursday night.
Pence reaffirmed his position despite opposition from Republicans in his own party, including some from Virginia.
As of Wednesday afternoon, CBS 6 confirmed that Republican Congressmen Dave Brat (Henrico), Tom Garrett (Charlottesville), and Rob Whittman (Hampton Roads) all plan on voting "no" to the A.H.C.A. as it is currently constructed.
Pence told CBS 6 News reporter Jake Burns work on health care reform will not end with the AHCA, saying the administration would accomplish that through future executive orders or legislation.
"The President's vision of health care reform, is essentially to allow Americans to buy across state lines, allow competition in a national marketplace, said Pence. "That will lower the cost for every American. Along with the tax credits that will be included in this legislation, Americans will have the resources and have health coverage they can afford."
Critics of the Republican plan, including Democrats from Virginia, have said the AHCA will cause millions of people across the country, and hundreds of thousands in Virginia, to lose coverage and result in higher health care costs for older Americans.
Pence refuted those claims, saying the roll back of "restrictive" Obamacare policies will mean cheaper coverage for all Americans.
"Obamacare has failed. We're working diligently, hour by hour, here in Washington D.C. to keep President Trump's promise to repeal and replace Obamacare, and when the vote comes to the floor tomorrow night," Pence said.
After lawyers for the Trump administration appealed rulings by two federal judges that halted the implementation of the White House's revised travel ban, a motion was filed Wednesday with the 4th Circuit Court of appeals in Richmond to expedite the process.
That sets the stage for a showed down in Richmond over the constitutionality of the revised executive order, which temporarily bars travel from six Muslim majority nations.
Pence told Burns he expects the order will hold to legal challenges.
"President Trump has no greater priority than the safety and security of the American people, and today's tragic events, the terrorist attacks in London, are a grim reminder of the threats that we face in the world," said Pence. "Let me be clear, the President and I and our whole administration is confident that he's acted within his authority. To come into this country is not a right; it's a privilege."
Pence also said he was with President Trump when he expressed condolences to Britain's Prime Minister Teresa May following an alleged terrorist attack outside of the Parliament building Wednesday.
You can watch the full interview on Burns' Facebook page.

TRACK REVIEW: Tamu Massif - OK

Weston-super-Mare, U.K.
SCANNING about the wave of solo artists emerging right now…
and there is, it goes without saying, enough variation for everyone. I feel today's music is a confusion battleground where we are only really exposed to a small percentage of artists out there. In order to establish who the very finest out there are: radio and the Internet are the best two options; it can be tough getting on top of it all and keeping track. I am an ardent fan of 6 Music and find their proffered artists are among the best in the world – I do wonder how many artists they miss out on, though. It is impossible playing every fantastic artist out there but I guess that is the good side of doing a blog: you get to see another side of the music world that escapes a lot of radio stations and press outlets. Before I come to investigating my featured artist: I wanted to talk about emotion through music; artists from less-known counties of the U.K. and inspirations for song subjects. We all love a musician that digs deep and presents something emotional and introspective. So long as the music is not too heavy and draining: getting a glimpse into an artist's soul is one of the finest aspects of music. Too many artists write about love dislocation and inner-searching but hide it behind heavy beats and electronics – it can distill the true emotions of the song and come off somewhat cheap and insincere. One of the problems about being truly open and tender is losing people's attention. It is a hard balance to assess something raw and harrowing whilst keeping the focus of the public. As such, a lot of new artists coming through are changing their pens away from deeply personal (and harrowing) subject matter and concentrating on other concerns. It is a shame but I guess having lyrical diversity is only a good thing. If we go back to the theme and seeing what the solution is: new artists like James Blake (although he's been around for a few years) is a good example of how it should be done. Take his current album, The Colour in Anything, and it is rife with deep and textured songs that are among the finest this year. Previous Blake albums have been more maudlin and romance-based – assessing damaged love and trying to piece it together. Never one for direct lyrics and obvious storylines: metaphors and oblique touches are sat aside tremulous, atmospheric vocals. The Colour in Anything yearns for happiness and self-improvement; spaciousness and drama run throughout but above all is sheer beauty and majestic shimmer. He is one of those musicians that not only takes control of his songs, and does not let scores of producers tamper with them, but is able to pour his heart onto the page and keep the listener entranced. For those musicians that want to balk against acoustic guitar-led sounds and a one-dimensional approach: Blake has shown what can be achieved with compositional variation and intelligence. I bring up this (rather lofty) aspect up because of my featured artist, Tamu Massif. That name is actually a moniker of Weston-super-Mare artist Dave Dixon and he has got me thinking more about music and standing out from the crowd. His latest track, OK, recalls a rather upsetting time – more on that later – but the way he puts that on the page goes beyond the routine and predictable. Not quite putting as many elements into the mix as James Blake: he manages to elicit a range of ideas and possibilities through the composition; mixing sound effects and harder sides with elliptical, light-seeking moments.
OK casts its inspiration to a dwindling friendship and fractious time for our hero. Relationship break-ups are common concerns for musicians but usually centre around love – friendship erosion is not as widely covered as you'd imagine. We all experience times when treasured acquaintances and mates drift away or there is an argument. I feel too few songwriters do not cover these kinds of topics because they fear it is too personal – damaging a friendship beyond repair perhaps. If a relationship ends, you are not looking to get back with that person – so it is okay to put it down in a song. Maybe trying the same with a friendship drama is risky business? I am not sure but Massif has shown bravery and insight but capturing a stressful and fraught time, and in the process, bringing something new to the realms of break-up and split. What stuns me about a lot of modern artists is how rigid they are lyrically: often going for lowest-common-denominators and easy answers. We all have busy and complicated lives so one would imagine there is enough food for thought? Of course, love is important and we all can relate but that is not to say the consumer wants to hear about it all the time. You do not need to look too far away or reinvent the wheel: just take the time to concentrate on something less expected; something nobody else is covering. Those musicians that stick in my mind are the ones who introduce you to fresh horizons and rebel against formulaic topics. Massif has looked at love in the past, but as his latest single proves, he is an artist that captures of-the-moment events and places them on the page. The only way music will push forward and inspire future generations if we become less rigid and defined. It is an area I want to go into more depth about but it might have to wait for another time.
It is good finding a musician that comes from outside of London. I love London but have focused quite heavily on the city the last few months. Massif will be playing a lot of London shows in the future but his base and home is Weston-super-Mare in Somerset. I have reviewed acts from around the U.K. but is has been a while since I have stepped outside of London and its environs. When we think of upcoming artists, perhaps Somerset is not top of our considerations. I feel we often get too obsessed with the big cities and forget there is a whole world of towns and villages with fantastic musicians in. Historically, there are not a lot of legendary musicians that hail from Somerset – I might be wrong but I am struggling to think. The likes of Tamu Massif will not only help put Somerset in the mind but raises a good point. Music is not exclusive to the cities and London and we all need to realise the full scope of British music. I said early on how difficult it is to discover all brilliant new musicians coming through but one imagines a little dexterity and flexibility will go a long way. I had never really thought about Weston-super-Mare for music but am compelled to look more and see what other musicians come from there. Further than that: I will look at other less-represented musical counties and discover what is out there. It is vital we support artists from all over the country and ensure we do not overlook areas outside of the city. I feel one of the reasons we get obsessed with cities like London and Manchester is that is where so many musicians end up. Personally, I know a lot of musicians who flee to London due to the lack of opportunities where they live. Maybe there are not enough platforms or too few people: how realistic is it remaining in villages and towns if you are an artist? Naturally, the more people that pack into cities the harder it is to find opportunities: the cities become compacted and it leads to musicians being squeezed out and suffocated. It is difficult making it in the industry so can appreciate the lure and attraction of the city. Tamu Massif records at his Weston-super-Mare studio but gigs in London too: seemingly striking a wonderful blend and not too overwhelmed by the rush of the city; finding inspiration and creative outlet at home. I am digressing but it is another point that we need to address: providing more money to towns so musicians do not have to move out; easing the burden in the big cities to ensure musicians there have chances.
Looking back on Massif's work and you can see how far he has come in the last couple of years. Azora was released just over two years ago but showed a promising young talent and someone who differentiated themselves from the mass of artists out there. The composition is quite sparse but the racing beats and delicate piano notes create a lot of emotion and story on their vocal. When listening to the vocal, you are hard pressed to compare it with another singer, and instead, are introduced to a soulful and emotion croon. A singer that is capable of delicacy and power in the same breath: Azora is a song that gets into the head and has so many different layers and sides to it. Perfect for contemplative times or a solitary drive during sunset: it has that self-assessing mood and tranquility to it but enough energy and spirit to stand up to repeated plays. An impressive song no doubt. More recent work like Holding Back has shown how adaptable Tamu Massif is. A more traditional, acoustic-based number: its emotional resonance and gorgeous vocal get the hairs standing up. Despite a certain pastoral mood: Massif injects fizzling electronics and colours into the song to ensure it never becomes sonorous, boring or unengaging. The song draws processed, hypnotic female vocals in and warped sounds: juxtaposing against the reverent beauty of the opening; Holding Back grows into something complex, busy and spectacular. Listening to the opening minute and you assume you have the song figured out. Each line and verse find Holding Back grow and expand; taking in new sounds and ideas and demonstrates what a talent he is. OK takes that a step further and is, in my viewpoint, the best song Massif has created so far. It has strands of Holding Back's D.N.A. and is a new phase for the artist. Alba was wonderfully received last year but I feel the 2016 output from Tamu Massif is stronger, bolder and more arresting. I am not sure if certain influences and experiences have led to this evolution – you can definitely hear a slight improvement and new inspiration. I am sure the upcoming E.P. will contain similar songs to Holding Back and OK and be up to that level. Early on, I mentioned James Blake and you can detect that as an influence in Holding Back and OK. The Electronic/Alternative/Post-Dubstep musician is compelling a lot of new artists and that is to be commended. Tamu Massif does not replicate Blake's themes and sounds: using him as a bit of a guide; he creates his own version of that foregrounded Post-Dubstep sound and put his own stamp on it.
OK is the latest song from Tamu Massif and recalls the closing phases of a fading friendship. While visiting friends in Naples (last New Year's Eve); that is when inspiration struck. Hearing and watching the fireworks burst from his balcony: he got thinking and ensured he captured the sounds and explosions of the night. Rather than dwell on the pain and loss; it has gone into a song that is mature and intelligent. Massif (or Dave Dixon, I should say) knows relationships and friendships can be temporary and unpredictable at the best of times. OK begins with oddly child-like, processed vocals that make you think straight away. Perhaps the sound or sample of the friend in question (it is a female voice) is a weird and machine-processed opening that gives you an insight into OK's mindset. Distorted, hazy and confused: such an instancy and urgency can be discovered straight off. There is little time to reflect and predict as the song comes straight to life. Subtle but powerful electronics create a brewing storm whilst the beats crackle without becoming too heavy and insistent. That vocal opening seems like the other side of a conversation of a voicemail being played – not quite real but very relevant to Massif. When approaching the microphone, the voice is typically emotive and powerful – power and strength seem to define the work of Tamu Massif. Although some of the early vocals suffer some intelligibility issues – slightly drawled which means it can be hard to pick up on the lyrics – it is the fervency and passion of the vocals that matters most. A stunning voice that has ample beauty and grace to it: our hero does not want to settle down and rush in life. You get thinking about the dynamic of that friendship and what has caused this drifting apart. I am not sure whether our hero's friend is male or female but one senses it is a female. The two used to be close but have not been in touch for a while now. It is not necessarily anyone's fault and perhaps they are different stages of life. I sense the bond was quite important and perhaps has romantic possibility. It seems like the two were serious at one point, but now, they are reduced to scant conversations and the odd communication. Our man might not have been that smart and a bit lackluster; maybe remiss and ignoring the importance of the friendship. "Is it okay?" our hero asks if he doesn't settle down: it gives you impressions of romantic domesticity or a shared agreement. Perhaps the two had plans or she was getting a bit too firm – perhaps wanting him to commit to a way of life or spend a lot of time together. Massif is a free and creative young man that is dedicated to music and this might have been a breaking point. Unable to commit to a time and place and predict the future: it seems like differing interest has found them separated and on barely-speaking-terms.
OK has two distinct halves to it. The first is reflecting on what has happened and asking pertinent questions (whether they can start over again); trying to piece things together and wondering what went wrong. The lyrics, those that are clear and come through, sort of offers apologies and explanation but seems confused and lost – it was a pure friendship but has just drifted away out of control. The vocal and lyrics are placed in focus and our hero wonders if he is becoming sentimental and over-thinking perhaps. The second phase of the song places more emphasis on the composition: perhaps our hero is spent and too emotional to carry on; steps away from the microphone. After the first couple of minutes, we learn a little about how the friendship broke down. There is a regret but no real answer as to what happened. It just seemed like the two were on different pages but there is that desire to rekindle things and regain that closeness and connection. Knowing it is beyond repair or slipping away: the second half of OK lets the music speak. Electronics trip and persists; they trip and swoon and shimmer – occasional beats add a little spark but keep in the shadows for the most part. A song that has sensuality and loneliness to it: you imagine the time that inspired the song and what Tamu Massif was thinking about. After the pitch-shifted vocals and melancholy of the opening: it all develops and changes. There is chaos and celebration in the street, but on the balcony, a sense of twilight eeriness and thoughtfulness. You transpose yourself into the song and are stood alongside the hero – looking down from the balcony and lost in his own thoughts. Towards the closing stages; that New Year's Eve celebration and rapture comes more into the song. Before that, there are twinkling and odd electronic notes: they ping and twinge; quite a strange but inviting sound that makes you wonder what influenced them. Oddly, you get a flavor of Japan and Asia in some of the composition: as though you were walking through a Tokyo night and the local sounds, strangeness and beauty of the city. Against that, some more defined and sturdy beats come in and OK gains new light and traction. It is difficult creating a song that is composition-heavy and pulling it off. So many modern musicians lack necessary inventiveness and intellect to captivate the listener. Tamu Massif presents a composition that has so many different stages and elements together but retains a singularity and focus. Into the final minute, the hero comes back to the microphone and seems like he needs answers still. Maybe his friend was kinder and purer; their paths never meant to continue together but it seems painful none-the-less. Despite the fact there are decipherability issues to some of the vocals, that is part of the appeal. The sheer emotion and weariness are more potent and memorable than anything: our man aghast and tired in the night; weighed down by the heartache and emotion on his shoulders. OK ends things with firework samples and crackling: those Italian firecrackers provide a suitably authority and appropriate finale. You have to sit back and take it all in when the song ends and might take a while to listen to it again. It is a personal and important song for Tamu Massif and one that will surely strike a chord with listeners who have gone through the same sort of experience. The finest and most compelling song in the Tamu Massif catalogue: let's hope it features prominently on the new E.P. It is commendable pulling away from relationship dilemmas and concerning something else. OK is a fascinating number and one that will see Tamu Massif exposed to a wider audience and gain lots of new supporters and radio attention. Already, the song has picked up some great reviews and that will give it creator heart and inspiration. Mixed by Youth Lagoon & Perfume Genius associate Ali Chant (produced by Tamu Massif): OK is a stunning song that announced a very fine talent.
Tamu Massif has already achieved quite a lot in his career to date. Having been tipped by NME and enjoyed airtime on 6Music and Radio 1: not many new musicians can claim that. It is hard to get recognition and exposure on the nationwide stations so when it happens that honorific should not be underestimated. Massif will be doing no such thing and capatilsing on that momentum and patronage. There is an E.P. out soon and plenty of excitement and expectation surrounds it. Following his well-received E.P. Alba, I am sure his upcoming E.P. will build on that early promise and show new inspiration and influences. OK shows Massif is not a musician that stands still and is always developing his work. Supporting the likes of C. Duncan and The Japanese House live; there will be headline dates and key gigs in his calendar. All exciting times for the young artist. Dave Dixon's alias is an intelligent, emotional character whose music has registered with a lot of people already. I feel Massif is deserving of more attention and followers. His social media numbers are solid and building but, when compared with some artists, one wonders whether his forthcoming E.P. will redress this. I see a lot of lesser artists with thousands of supporters and they do not deserve it. Perhaps they are image-heavy or get more focus on radio: Massif is a more honest and hard-working musician and I am sure his talent and graft will be richly rewarded. He will not quibble over social media numbers and such concerns: the demand and appreciation he is receiving prove how much love and support there is. OK is a fascinating glimpse into a wonderful musician who has taken a harrowing deterioration and turned it into something strangely gorgeous and inspiring. OK is not just a simple, acoustic-based song where the hero pours emotion out and is tear-stained and wracked. Massif understands this approach is likely to appeal to a certain listener, and because of this, consideration, intelligence and innovation have gone into his latest single – ensuring it registers and appeals to a wide range of music fans. It is a brilliant window into the as-yet-untitled E.P. and is certain to put Massif firmly in the musical forefront. He has already had his music played on our most influential stations but I have the sense he will grow even bigger and be afforded more chances further afield.
One feels Tamu Massif has an audience waiting internationally and is capable of breaking into new countries and continents. I am sure he will want to focus his attention in the U.K. for now: finance might be an issue and it is not practical jaunting abroad and performing around the globe. That said, one gets the impression it will not take too long before fortunes change and international gigs are going to be a reality. I say this with a lot of British musicians but there are U.S. opportunities and audiences who are latching onto our best acts. Looking about social media; I have seen a lot of British artists put their songs out and get heady praise from U.S. listeners. Perhaps there are quite a few British musicians playing across the U.S. but I am wary not as many as there should be. Again, perhaps another discussion for another day. It is hard to sum up Tamu Massif as there is a lot of mystery and intrigue about his music. That nom de plume is the name of a dormant subaquatic volcano: it gives you an insight into the emotional blend and dichotomy of his music. You have that beauty and safety but always feel like there could be an explosion at any moment. Thinking about the volcano, and where it is situated, it seems like a very apt name for OK's author. He splits his time between Weston-super-Mare and London and is one of those artists you know is going to be playing for years to come. It is hard to stand out in the industry as there are so many like-minded musicians aiming for the same goals. Tamu Massif seems stress-less and relaxed against the pressures of the modern age. Although OK looks at a friendship on the rocks: you feel, away from the studio, Davie Dixon has a plan and knows where he wants to head. I urge people to go see Tamu Massif live and be brought into a very magical and entrancing world. The reviews he has already accrued speak for themselves. I have talked about cliché and predictable subjects in music and I feel it is a problem that will blight a lot of new music. We have all heard the Pop star talking about bad love and these tropes are putting people off – many of us want something new and less obvious. Tamu Massif has gone through relationship quandaries and knows it is important to assess that. OK stands out because it moves away from that and addresses a unique and idiosyncratic event. Not only does the originality stand out but the way it is delivered. Not just confining himself to vocal-and-guitar easiness: sound effects, bass, and electronics are weaved together to create a tangible and evocative number. If you have grown weary of the unsophisticated and simple musician that is incapable of connecting with the heart and soul then you should definitely spend some time with Tamu Massif. The dormant-volcano-under-the-water-cum-Somerset-innovator is a curious blend and incredible young talent. OK will lead to an E.P. and that E.P. is going to mutate to future releases. It is a good time for Tamu Massif: his latest single is…
THE start of some very big things.

'Gonna build a wall'...Trump and Nehemiah
For the last month or so, our Bible study group has been discussing the story of Nehemiah – a passionate wall-builder in 5th century BC Jerusalem when the people of Israel came back after being exiled in Babylon. It's 2500 years later, but the story and the man have offered amazing resonances!
I discovered this week that Nehemiah has been likened to that other builder of walls - Donald Trump. The comparison was made by a preacher and Fox news contributor - Robert Jeffress, senior pastor of First Baptist Church in Dallas, Texas. And Trump was in the congregation at the traditional pre-inauguration church service. Jeffress explained that the first step to rebuilding the nation was to build a wall to protect the citizens inside from its enemies. Jeffress told his congregation (and Trump!) that Nehemiah was successful in his 'great work' because he refused to allow his critics to distract him or setbacks to stop him. And because he sought God's help to empower him.
As in so many sermons, I ask myself – 'Whose God is this? Whose political purposes are being served in appropriating this God?' Jeffress' sermon, reminded me of other sermons when preachers try to energise members of their congregations to see themselves as builders not of the USA ('God's own country') but of 'God's own church'.
As in the Jeffress sermon, statements are made and questions are asked which reflect the values of the preacher and those in the congregation he is trying to influence. Single-minded, self-confident action against an opponent is glorified. A clear, binary sense of who is right and who is wrong is applauded. And underlying every word, there is absolute certainty – utter and complete certainty - that 'we' are the spokespeople for God. God is on our side and we know exactly what God wants and who God approves of.
In the UK where a binary political debate has now been going on for over three years, similar tones of voice are heard on both sides of the Brexit argument. And perhaps it is unrealistic to expect a different spirit from politicians.
But things need to be different in the Christian church. We follow a leader who taught us to love the people on the 'other' side of social and physical walls. Jesus described and exemplified an alternative leadership style inspired by a different Spirit whose vocabulary and tone of voice is distinctive. Christian language needs to be less about walls and more about bridges.
Perhaps if Robert Jeffress and Donald Trump - and some other leaders both within and outside the church - read only chapter 5 of Nehemiah's story - they would get a whiff of the spirit of a different leadership style – to be best exemplified by Jesus over 400 years later in the same Jewish city and further afield.
Nehemiah listens to alternative voices. He thinks things over. He seeks equality for the common good. 'I did not do so (lord it over the people),' he says, 'because of the fear of God'. He practices textbook conflict resolution techniques. Nehemiah tells the truth – but not only to the elite about their injustices but also about his own less than perfect behaviour. He shows himself generous and willing to let go of some of his perks and privileges.
So yes – Nehemiah was indeed a wall-builder. But the chronicle says that at his table inside the wall, he fed 'those who came from the nations around us.' One more whiff of that same alternative spirit - or should I say Spirit?

Does it crash when running it inside a windows player? And if so does it not tell you where in the code it is crashing?
exactly, windows player and win32 export (console exe).
Thank you, I will try it asap.
hgy29 nesting Core.asyncCall inside a Timer.delayedCall of 1ms I don't get the error at all. Thank you!
Unfortunately I am not able to replicate the issue in a standalone project to debug it properly: it happens only in a game I'm making.
Theoretically why do you think it may happen?
To me it seems that it happens when I break a loop in asyncCall with return, while I am starting the same loop again with different variables: this would explain why delaying the call would fix it. However I don't understand why those loops should be in "conflict" since each one is a local loop.
If I understood correctly how local functions work, the fact that they share the scope should not be an issue; may it be an issue for Core.asyncCall?
I'm wondering if it's a good thing to make an extensive use of Timer.delayedCall or if those should be avoided in some other tricky way.
@pie, I have fixed the asyncCall not being rentrant in gideros for next release, turned out it was a task management issue in gideros code.

I have been thinking a lot about my post of a couple of days ago. Perhaps the thoughts have been tinged with a sense of regret. Regret that I was not always around during the very formative years as my elder two girls were growing up. Regret that some of the life and pf lessons that I am trying to shove down their throats now, could have been taught and practiced much earlier in their lives. And at a much more relaxed pace.
I spent some time going through my computer files where I had saved emails to my daughters. And I found something.
A pledge that the girls signed, way back on the 26th May 2005 and promised to hang in their hostel rooms as they left home for their University. I reproduce it below.
a) Consistently and diligently paying myself first with 10% of everything I earn, whether it is an allowance from my family or income from any part time job or full time employment. I shall increase this percentage as my earnings rise.
b) Daily I shall keep track of all my expenses so that I can cancel all the unwanted impulse money wasters.
d) I will invest this 10% in long term compounding financial instruments that will continue to work hard for me.
e) I will read widely on personal financial management and practice the recommended ideas diligently. I will also seek and obtain advice on personal financial matters from people who are financially independent. This will help me in making the money that I have paid myself work harder to earn me more.
f) I will never lend any money to anybody. Rather I will donate and contribute to charity as required under the rules of my religion, Islam.
g) As soon as possible, I shall seek and obtain sales training.
h) I shall learn about insurance and obtain the required level of insurance as soon as possible. I shall also learn about trusts and wills and provide for my loved ones as soon as possible.
i) I shall pass on these rules to my younger siblings as soon as they are old enough to understand. I shall also be a good example for them.
Reading this brought back memories of how the two girls promised to read and to follow this pledge.
I have not asked my girls specifically if they have followed anything of the pledge they signed with my wife and me as witnesses. Maybe I should.
One thing for sure, I strongly believe my daughters would not be among those of whom, Money, Smart Life is so incredulous about.
Maybe the pledge had something to do with it.


Ten million people in Afghanistan – more than a quarter of its population – face severe acute food insecurity and need urgent help after floods and drought, says the Afghan Red Crescent Society and the International Federation of Red Cross and Red Crescent Societies (IFRC).
Three years of drought have contributed to massive crop failure, economic hardship, hunger and loss of life, and forced 266,000 people from their homes. In March 2019, extreme weather deepened extreme hardship, when above normal rain and snow fell on soil with limited vegetation or ability to soak up the water, bringing flash floods to nine provinces, killing 63 people and displacing at least 281,000 to makeshift camps with inadequate services.
Climate change is increasing the hardship for people in Afghanistan. Temperatures are rising, leading to changes in snowmelt, and rainfall is becoming more erratic, with an increased risk of floods and droughts. Repeated disasters have eroded people's capacity to cope.
Across many parts of the country, people lack safe water, proper sanitation and healthcare, which contribute to catastrophic levels of malnutrition.
On 17 March 2019, IFRC launched an emergency appeal seeking seven million Swiss francs to support the Afghan Red Crescent Society in providing shelter, health and care; water, sanitation and hygiene, livelihoods and basic needs for up to 650,000 people (92,500 households) affected by flood and drought for 12 months. The plan also includes disaster risk reduction activities and strengthening the capacity of the Red Crescent. A longer-term resilience-oriented approach will address some of the underlying causes of people's vulnerability. Examples are water, sanitation and healthcare, agricultural support such as in climate-smart practices and cash-based intervention.

[PDF link given below]
It's the Roaring Twenties and New York City is the place to be. Everything can be purchased, everyone can be bought. But, can you make money erase your past?
As more and more people lose themselves to the lure of money, ironically the only person who remains unaffected is Jay Gatsby, the enigmatic host of the most extravagant parties.
In this definitive tale on American culture, Fitzgerald pits a chaste dream against the corrupting influence of wealth and come up with an epic story that can only be defined as "a Great American Novel".
The Great Gatsby, F. Scott Fitzgerald's third book, stands as the supreme achievement of his career. This exemplary novel of the Jazz Age has been acclaimed by generations of readers.
"Fantastic proof that Chivalry, of a sort, is not dead".
– Life Magazine
"The finest work of ficfion by by an American writer… No American novel comes closer than Gatsby to surpassing literary artistry, and none tells us more about ourselves"
– The Washington Post
Francis Scott Fitzgerald ( born September 24, 1896, died December 21, 1940), known professionally as F. Scott Fitzgerald, was an American novelist and short story writer, whose works are the paradigmatic writings of the Jazz Age. He is widely regarded as one of the greatest American writers of the 20th century.
Nick Carraway – a Yale University graduate from the Midwest, a World War I veteran, and at the start of the plot, a newly arrived resident of West Egg, age 29. He also serves as the first- person narrator of the novel.
Jay Gatsby ( Originally james "Jimmy Gatz") – a young, mysterious millionaire with shady business connection, originally from North Dakota.
Daisy Buchanan – an attractive, through shallow and self absorbed, young debutante and socialite from Loui sville, Kentucky, identified as a flapper. She is Nick's second cousin once removed, and the wife of Tom Buchanan.
Thomas "Tom Buvhanan – a Milliomaire who lives in East Egg, and Daisy's husband. Tom is an imposing man of muscular build with a "husky tenor" voice and arrogant demeanor. He was a football star at Yale University.
Jordan Baker – an amateur golfer and Daisy Buchanan's long time fried with a sarcastic streak and a aloof attitude. She is Nick Carraway's girlfriend for most of the Novel, though they grow apart towards the end.
George B.Wilson – a mechanic and owner of a garage. He is disliked by both his wife, Myrtle Wilson, and Tom Buchanan
Myrtle Wilson – George's wife, and Tom Buchanan's mistress.
Mayer Wolfsheim – a Jewish friend and mentor of Gatsby's, described as a gambler who fixed the 1919 World Series.
While The Great Gatsby is a highly specific portrait of American society during the Roaring Twenties, it's story is also one that has been told hundreds of time, and is perhaps as old as America itself : a man claws his way from rags to riches, only to find that his wealth cannot afford him the privileges enjoyed by those born into the upper class. The central character is Jay Gatsby, a wealthy New York of indeterminate occupation. Gatsby is primarily known for the lavish parties he throws each weekend as his ostentatious Gothic mansion in West Egg. He is suspected of being involved in illegal bootlegging and other underworld activities.
The narrator, Nick Carraway, is Gatsby's neighbor in West Egg. Nick is a young man from a prominent Midwestern family. Educated at Yale, he has come to New York to enter the bond business. In some sense, the novel is Nick's memoir, his unique view of the events of the summer of 1922; as such, his impressions and observations necessarily color the narrative as a whole. For the most part, he plays only a peripheral role in the events of the novel; he prefers to remain a passive observer.
Upon arriving in New York, Nick visits his cousin, Daisy Buchanan, and her husband, Tom. The Buchanans live in the posh Long Island district of East Egg; Nick, like Gatsby, resides in nearby West Egg, a lesa fashionable area looked down upon by those who live in East Egg. West Egg is home to the nouveau riche, people who lack established social connection, and who tend to vulgarly flaunt their wealth. Like Nick, Tom Buchanan graduated from Yale, and comes from a privileged Midwestern family. Tom is a former football player, a brutal bully obsessed with the preservation of class boundaries. Daisy, by contrast, is an almost ghost like young woman who affects an air of sophisticated boredom. At the Buchanans's, Nick meets Jordan Barker,
a beautiful young woman with a cold, cynical manner. The two later become romantically involved.
Jordan tells Nick that Tom has been having an affair with Myrtle Wilson, a women who lives in the vally of ashes,
an industrial wasteland outside of New York City. After visiting Tom and Daisy, Nick goes home to West Egg; there, he sees Gatsby Gazing at a mysterious green light across the bay.Gatsby stretches his arms out toward the light, as though to catch and hold it.
Tom Buchanan takes Nick into New York, and on the way they stop at the garage owned by George Wilson. Wilson is the husband of Myrtle, with whom Tom has been having an affair. Tom tells Myrtle to join them later in the city. Nearby, on an enormous billboard, a pair of bespectacled blue eyes stares down at the barren landscape. Thses eyes once served as an advertisement; now, they brood over all that occurs in the valley of ashes.

Midwest native Nick Carraway moves to New York to become a bond man. Nick's Next door neighbor is the enigmatic Jay Gatsby, a bootlegger who once had an affair with Daisy Buchanan, Nick's cousin. When Nick first arrives in New York, he has dinner with Daisy and her husband Tom.
Nick thinks Tom and Daisy are " Careless people." During dinner, Tom's mistress, Myrtle Wilson, calls him, and Daisy expresses her unhappiness with her marriage. Despite Nick's misgivings about Daisy's character, he agrees to help Gatsby win her back.
Nick arranges a secret meeting between Daisy and Gatsby at his house. Their affair lasts most of the summer, until, on a stifling hot day in July, Tom confronts them. This upsets Daisy, causing her to accidentally hit Myrtle with Gatsby's Car.
Gats takes the blame for the Myrtle's death. He waits for Daisy to call him, unaware that she and Tom are planning to leave town. Meanwhile, George Wilson, Myrtle's husband, walks across Long Island, searching for Myrtle's killer.
He eventually finds Gatsby and shoots him. Nick leaves New York, disillusioned with the Jazz Age.
F. Scott Fitzgerald,
1896–1940: Between Laurels
September 24, 1896: Into a family that traces its ancestry to the author of "The Star Spangled Banner," Francis Scott Key Fitzgerald is born in his parents' house on Laurel Avenue in St. Paul, Minnesota.
Although Fitzgerald's father went bankrupt, Fitzgerald still played with the rich kids in town. This paradox would later
inform his fiction. His awareness of his situation sharpened during his years at Princeton, where he studied from 1913 to 1917 until he accepted a commission from the U.S. Army. He never saw combat. During World War I, Fitzgerald was stationed near Montgomery, Alabama, where he began revising what became his first novel, This Side of Paradise (1920). There he also met the love of his life, Zelda Sayre, the charming, mercurial daughter of a judge. Fitzgerald's early literary successes soon made him and Zelda celebrities of the Jazz Age—a term he coined. During the 1920s, Zelda served as his editor, confidante, and rival. Their appetite for excess made them notorious in an age when excess was the norm. The Fitzgeralds moved to France in 1924 with their young daughter, Frances (nicknamed Scottie), where they fell among a group of American expatriate artists whom the writer Gertrude Stein christened the Lost Generation. In 1925 publisher Charles Scribner's Sons came out with Fitzgerald's The Great Gatsby, which has become his most enduring work.
