Portions of the event, held at Nashville's historic Ryman Auditorium, were taped for a two-hour special that will air on Friday, September 15 (9:00 – 11:00 PM ET/PT) on the CBS Television Network.
The event, sponsored by City National Bank, featured a star-studded lineup of live performances and award presentations celebrating Special Awards recipients Kelsea Ballerini (Gene Weed Milestone Award), Toby Keith (Poet's Award), Bob Kingsley (Mae Boren Axton Service Award), Reba McEntire (Mae Boren Axton Service Award), "Nashville" (Tex Ritter Film Award), Dolly Parton (Gary Haber Lifting Lives Award), Shel Silverstein (Poet's Award, awarded posthumously), and George Strait (Cliffie Stone Icon Award). The evening also honored winners of the Industry and Studio Recording Awards, along with Songwriter of the Year Award winner, Lori McKenna. The Academy of Country Music will present trophies to previously announced Special Awards recipients Eric Church (Merle Haggard Spirit Award) and Willie Nelson (Poet's Award) at a later date.
Highlights from the event include:
Hillary Scott opened the evening with a performance of "The Night The Lights Went Out In Georgia" and was then joined by Little Big Town's Karen Fairchild for a powerful duet performance of "Does He Love You" for which they received a standing ovation. The duo then welcomed Little Big Town's Kimberly Schlapman for a special performance of "Little Rock" in tribute to Reba McEntire. Fairchild, Schlapman, and Scott then presented McEntire with the Mae Boren Axton Service Award.
Kelsea Ballerini performed "Legends" before receiving her award, which was presented to her by Lady Antebellum. Following her acceptance speech, Ballerini performed a medley of #1 hits including "Dibs," "Love Me Like You Mean It," and "Peter Pan."
Chris Stapleton performed "When Did You Stop Loving Me," and Alan Jackson performed a medley of "Marina Del Rey" and "The Fireman" in tribute to George Strait before he accepted his award to a standing ovation. Following his acceptance speech, Strait took the stage and performed "Here For A Good Time" to a dancing audience to close out the evening. Reigning Entertainer of the Year Jason Aldean presented the award to Strait.
Chris Janson performed "A Boy Named Sue" and "Cover of the Rolling Stone" in tribute to Shel Silverstein, who received his award posthumously. Silverstein's family friend Susan Nadler accepted the award from Janson on Silverstein's behalf.
Toby Keith performed "Should've Been A Cowboy" and "Who's Your Daddy?" after songwriter Jimmy Webb presented him with his award.
Maren Morris performed "Galveston" in tribute to the late Glen Campbell.
Brad Paisley performed "My Tennessee Mountain Home" in tribute to Dolly Parton.
Bobby Bones presented Bob Kingsley with his award, after which Thomas Rhett sang a medley of his hits "Die A Happy Man" and "Craving You."
Songwriter Ross Copperman introduced Little Big Town, who performed "When Someone Stops Loving You," written by Lori McKenna, before presenting McKenna with the award.
Additional off-camera highlights included:
Brett Young presented Studio Recording and Industry Award winners with their awards prior to the show taping.
Cassadee Pope presented the television series "Nashville" with the Tex Ritter Film Award. "Nashville" stars Clare Bowen and Charles Esten performed "Sanctuary" in a special moment before CMT's Frank Tanki, Opry Entertainment's Steve Buchanan, and Lionsgate's Russell Ziecker accepted the award.
Presenters who took the stage at the event included Jason Aldean, Bobby Bones, Ross Copperman, Chris Janson, Lady Antebellum, Little Big Town, Maren Morris, Brad Paisley, Cassadee Pope, Hillary Scott, Jimmy Webb, and Brett Young.Below is a full list of special award recipients:
Cliffie Stone ICON Award – George Strait has been chosen to receive the Cliffie Stone Icon Award. This award is presented to a country music artist, duo/group or industry leader who throughout their career has advanced the popularity of the genre through their contributions in multiple facets of the industry such as songwriting, recording, production, touring, film, television, literary works, philanthropic contributions and other goodwill efforts.
With 61 No. 1 singles under his belt, George Strait has captivated the charts for longer than any other artist in any genre. Winning his first ACM Award for 1984's Male Vocalist of the Year, "King George" went on to build his country kingdom one great song at a time. Now-classic hits like "Amarillo by Morning," "All My Ex's Live in Texas," "The Fireman," "The Chair" and "Give It Away" established Strait's smooth voice and no-nonsense style, making his live show a must-see event. Strait is one of the best-selling artists of all time with 100 million albums sold worldwide. He was inducted into the Country Music Hall of Fame in 2007 and was named the Academy's Dick Clark Artist of the Decade in 2009. Though he officially retired from the road after his Cowboy Rides Away tour wrapped in 2014, Strait continues to pack houses at T-Mobile Arena in Las Vegas with his "2 Nights of Number 1s" show featuring all his number one hits performed live.
The Cliffie Stone Pioneer Award has been renamed the Cliffie Stone Icon Award.
Past recipients of the Cliffie Stone Pioneer Award include Alabama, Bob Beckham, Garth Brooks, Glen Campbell, Johnny Cash, Charlie Daniels, Larry Gatlin & The Gatlin Brothers, Crystal Gayle, Merle Haggard, Emmylou Harris, George Jones, The Judds, Brenda Lee, Loretta Lynn, Willie Nelson, The Oak Ridge Boys, Dolly Parton, Charley Pride, Jerry Reed, Tex Ritter, Marty Robbins, Kenny Rogers, Billy Sherrill, Ricky Skaggs, The Statler Brothers, Mel Tillis, Randy Travis, Tanya Tucker, Conway Twitty, Porter Wagoner, Keith Whitley, Hank Williams, Hank Williams Jr., Bob Wills and Dwight Yoakam, among others.
GARY HABER LIFTING LIVES AWARD – Dolly Parton has been chosen to receive the Gary Haber Lifting Lives Award. This award is presented to a country music artist, duo/group or industry professional who is devoted to improving lives through the power of music, has a generosity of spirit, and is committed to serving others, voted on by the ACM Lifting Lives Board of Directors.
Dolly Parton has held many titles over her storied 50-year career – singer, songwriter, actress, legend—but philanthropist is one that is close to her heart. Since her earliest days of stardom, Dolly has used her celebrity to support the causes she loves most. The Dolly Parton Imagination Library has to date provided 100 million books to preschool children in the United States, Canada and the United Kingdom. In 2016, Parton stepped up to raise money for victims of the massive wildfires in her native East Tennessee. Hosting Smoky Mountains Rise, a three-hour telethon, Dolly helped raise more than $10 million for the Dollywood Foundation's My People Fund, which provided money for temporary housing for families that lost their homes in the fires.
The Humanitarian Award has been renamed/incorporated into the existing Gary Haber Lifting Lives Award.
Past recipients of the Gary Haber Lifting Lives Award and Humanitarian Award include Brooks & Dunn, Vince Gill, Lonestar, Martina McBride, Neal McCoy, Reba McEntire, Montgomery Gentry, Rascal Flatts, LeAnn Rimes and Carrie Underwood.
GENE WEED MILESTONE AWARD – Kelsea Ballerini has been chosen as the recipient of the Gene Weed Milestone Award. This award is presented to a country music artist, duo/group or industry leader for a specific, unprecedented or outstanding achievement in the field of country music during the preceding calendar year.
Kelsea Ballerini went straight to the top of the charts with her first single, 2014's "Love Me Like You Mean It." Her self-penned debut was just the beginning of her winning streak. Her next two singles, 2015's "Dibs" and 2016's "Peter Pan," also went to No. 1, making Ballerini the first female solo artist to have three consecutive No. 1 singles from a debut album since Wynonna Judd in 1992. Ballerini was named the ACM New Female Vocalist of the Year for 2015, was nominated for Best New Artist at the 59th Grammy Awards and came in at No. 2 on the Forbes "30 Under 30 – Music" list. Having wrapped up her first headlining tour, aptly titled "The First Time Tour," Ballerini is currently working on a new album and is hitting the road with Thomas Rhett on his 2017 Home Team Tour.
The Crystal Milestone Award and Gene Weed Special Achievement Awards have been combined and renamed the Gene Weed Milestone Award.
Past recipients of the Crystal Milestone Award and the Gene Weed Milestone Award include Jason Aldean, Garth Brooks, Luke Bryan, George Burns, Kenny Chesney, Jeff Foxworthy, Merle Haggard, Gayle Holcomb, Loretta Lynn, Little Big Town, Willie Nelson, Jennifer Nettles, Blake Shelton, George Strait, Taylor Swift, and Carrie Underwood.
Mae Boren Axton SERVICE Award – Bob Kingsley and Reba McEntire have been chosen as the recipients of the Mae Boren Axton Service Award. This award is presented to an outstanding country music artist, duo/group or industry leader in recognition of years of dedication and service to the Academy of Country Music.
One of the most recognizable radio voices in the world, Bob Kingsley has been a friend to both country fans and country artists for generations. As host and executive producer of Bob Kingsley's Country Top 40, the Texas resident has been inducted into both the Country Music DJ Hall of Fame and the National Radio Hall of Fame. Early in his career as a young disc jockey at KFOX in Los Angeles, Kingsley became involved with the fledgling Academy of Country and Western Music, which would eventually be called the Academy of Country Music. He won the Academy's On-Air Personality of the Year award for 1966 and 1967. He was first elected to the Academy's board of directors in 1967. He has since won a third ACM trophy for National On-Air Personality of the Year (2006) and continues to serve on the board today, making Kingsley the Academy's longest-serving board member.
For more than 30 years Reba McEntire has been an enthusiastic supporter of the Academy of Country Music. Hosting her first ACM Awards in 1986 at Knott's Berry Farm, McEntire has returned to the ACM stage as a host for a record 14 times—-eight of those solo. A 14-time ACM Award winner (including 7 as ACM Female Vocalist of the Year), Reba has also been an avid supporter of the Academy's charitable efforts, donating her time and talents to numerous ACM specials and other events supporting ACM Lifting Lives. In 2017, Reba partnered with the Academy and Omaze to offer a fan a chance to meet her backstage in Vegas, with proceeds from the auction going to ACM Lifting Lives.
The Mae Boren Axton Award has been renamed the Mae Boren Axton Service Award.
Past recipients of the Mae Boren Axton Award include Barry Adelman, John Dorris, Tim DuBois, Rod Essig, Gayle Holcomb, Jack Lameier, Marge Meoli, Paul Moore, Ray Pilzak, Gaynelle Pitts, Keith Urban, Gene Weed, Tommy Wiggins and David Young.
MERLE HAGGARD SPIRIT AWARD – Eric Church has been chosen to receive the Merle Haggard Spirit Award. This award is presented to a singer-songwriter who is continuing the legacy of country legend and 20-time ACM Award Winner Merle Haggard by following his/her own path, crafting great songs and epitomizing Merle's spirit through genuine performances and great storytelling.
Over 12 years and five studio albums, Eric Church has established himself as an artist who stays true to an uncompromising path. As an intense performer and songwriter, he has brought to life the eternal themes of life, love and heartbreak in his own hellraising way through songs like "Smoke a Little Smoke," "Springsteen," "Give Me Back My Hometown" and "Record Year." He has also bucked convention in the way his recorded and live music is delivered. He surprised fans—and the media—with his 2015 album, Mr. Misunderstood, which landed in the mailboxes of his fan club members without any promotion first before going out to the general public and the media the next day. For the 2017 60-city "Holdin' My Own Tour," Church went out solo without a support act and played two sets himself. Church holds five ACM awards, including Album of the Year, Vocal Event of the Year, Video of the Year, New Solo Vocalist of the Year and the ACM Jim Reeves International Award.
Past recipients of the Merle Haggard Spirit Award include Miranda Lambert.
Poet's Award – Toby Keith, Willie Nelson and Shel Silverstein (awarded posthumously) have been chosen to receive the Poet's Award. This award is presented to a country music songwriter for outstanding and longstanding musical and/or lyrical contributions throughout their career, with special consideration given to a song or songs' impact on the culture of country music.
Toby Keith has sold more than 40 million albums worldwide and is routinely cited as one of country's top businessmen with bars, restaurants, race horses and golf courses to his name, but it's his accolades as a songwriter than mean the most to the Oklahoma native. Keith began writing as a teenager and charted his first self-penned No. 1 with his debut single, "Should've Been a Cowboy." Since then, he has pretty much ignored the Nashville tradition of cutting Music Row writers' songs and personally written or co-written just about every song he's ever recorded. Among the highlights of his two-decade hit-making career are blue-collar anthems "How Do You Like Me Now," "Beer for My Horses," "I Love This Bar" and "American Soldier." A 12-time ACM Award winner, Keith was inducted into the Songwriters Hall of Fame in 2015.
Willie Nelson is an American treasure, and the songs he has written will stand the test of time. Writing since the age of six, the Texas native has penned tunes that are part of the very foundation of country music. His credits as a songwriter include classics for other artists including "Crazy" (Patsy Cline), "Funny How Time Slips Away" (Ray Price) and "Hello Walls" (Faron Young). He co-wrote the outlaw anthem "Good-Hearted Woman" with his friend Waylon Jennings. Nelson's signature song, "On the Road Again," won the Grammy for Best Country Song in 1980. Willie was inducted into the Nashville Songwriters Hall of Fame in 1973 and the Songwriters Hall of Fame in 2001.
The late Shel Silverstein (awarded posthumously) is known the world over as the offbeat poet and cartoonist behind beloved children's books Where the Sidewalk Ends and The Giving Tree, but he was also an accomplished songwriter. Silverstein penned inventive songs about unusual characters for a variety of artists, including "One's On the Way" for Loretta Lynn, "Marie Laveau" for Bobby Bare and the classic rock anthem "Cover of the Rolling Stone" for Dr. Hook. He brought his madcap imagination to the song, "A Boy Named Sue," which became a No. 1 hit for Johnny Cash. The song won the 1969 Grammy for Best Country Song. Silverstein died of a heart attack in 1999 at the age of 68. He was posthumously inducted into the Nashville Songwriters Hall of Fame in 2002.
Previous recipients of the Poet's Award include Bill Anderson, Bobby Braddock, Felice and Boudleaux Bryant, Guy Clark, Jack Clement, Hank Cochran, Dean Dillon, Merle Haggard, Tom T. Hall, Harlan Howard, Kris Kristofferson, Bob McDill, Roger Miller, Buck Owens, Eddie Rabbitt (awarded posthumously), Fred Rose, Don Schlitz, Cindy Walker, Jimmy Webb and Hank Williams.
Tex Ritter FILM Award – "Nashville" has been chosen as the recipient of the Tex Ritter Film Award. This award recognizes an outstanding television movie, series or feature film released during the preceding calendar year which prominently features country music.
Now in its fifth season, "Nashville" continues to tell Music Row's stories to a world-wide audience. Airing domestically on CMT and Hulu, the hour-long drama is seen in 225 territories around the globe. Main characters Deacon Clayborne, Will Lexington, Avery Barkley, Gunnar Scott and Scarlett O'Connor have made real-life music stars out of actors Charles Esten, Chris Carmack, Jonathan Jackson, Sam Palladio and Claire Bowen. The cast has released 17 soundtrack albums on Big Machine Records and has toured regularly, playing to sold-out crowds in both the United States and abroad. The show has been credited as part of the recent tourism boom in the city of Nashville, which has seen an amazing increase in visitors over the past five years.
Past recipients of the Tex Ritter Film Award include Beer For My Horses, The Best Little Whorehouse in Texas, Country Strong, Crazy Heart, Dolly Parton's Coat of Many Colors, O Brother, Where Art Thou, Sweet Dreams and Walk the Line, among others.
SONGWRITER OF THE YEAR AWARD – Previously announced winner Lori McKenna – the first female to win this category – has been chosen as the recipient of the Songwriter of the Year Award. This award is presented to an individual known predominately as a songwriter, selected by a Professional Panel of judges composed of songwriters, publishers, producers, and performing rights organization representatives.
Lori McKenna has never lived in Nashville, yet she's gradually become one of the most sought-after co-writers in Music City. At her kitchen table in Stoughton, Massachusetts, she wrote a heartfelt message to her five kids in the form of "Humble and Kind." Tim McGraw carried the song to No. 1, and it also led to McKenna winning her second consecutive Grammy for Country Song of the Year. The first one was for Little Big Town's triple-platinum single, "Girl Crush." One of McKenna's earliest champions was Faith Hill, who recorded "Stealing Kisses" for 2005's Fireflies. McKenna continued recording her own albums as more stars cut her songs, including Hunter Hayes ("I Want Crazy") and Keith Urban ("The Luxury of Knowing"). She released a new album, The Bird & The Rifle, in 2016. The project received a Grammy nod for Best Americana Album, while "Wreck You" was up for Best American Roots Performance and Best American Roots Song. She is a co-writer on Little Big Town's new single, "Happy People."
Past recipients of the Songwriter of the Year Award include Ross Copperman, Dallas Davidson, Luke Laird, Shane McAnally and Roger Miller.

Gary LENNON
LENNON, Gary Frederick (1941-2020)– surrounded by his loving family at his home on Thursday, January 30th, 2020 in his 79th year. Beloved husband of Vicki Lennon of Simcoe. Cherished father & papa of Julie Lennon of Simcoe and Robert Lennon (Becky) of Simcoe, their girls Katelyn & Amanda. Dear brother of Don Lennon (late Treva – 2018) of Arizona, John Lennon (Gail) of Mitchell and the late Shirley Hause (2007). Gary will be lovingly remembered by Vicki's brother Ron Abbey (late Cheryle – 2013) and by many nieces, nephews & extended family. Predeceased by this parents Harry (1996) & Bernice (1989) Lennon. Gary served his community in many ways and had fun along the way. He joined the Simcoe Kinsmen Club in the 1960's for 21 years receiving the Honour of Life Member in 1982 along with his wife Vicki. Gary is a former member of the Simcoe Lions Club, the Who Did It Club and the United Alumni Drum & Bugle Corp, until its disbanding in 2010. His love of drum corp dated back to the 60's with playing a horn with the Simcoe Royal Blues. He enjoyed curling for many years but his greatest passion was golfing. He was a member of the Norfolk Golf & Country Club where he served as Men's Captain. Along with his brother Don, his love of golf took him to many courses all over Ontario and Arizona. Gary loved to travel with regular visits to the Caribbean and Florida with friends. Gary was the owner & operator of G. Snyder Shoes after the retirement of Mr. Snyder. Gary saw & fitted shoes for up to three generations of families in the Simcoe area, even his family doctor when he was a youngster. Gary spent many years on the executive of the BIA (Business Improvement Association). His concern for the downtown core was ongoing even after his retirement. In his retirement, Gary's love of retail led him to part-time work at Budds Department Store, splitting time between Guelph & Kitchener. Friends are invited to share their memories of Gary with his family at the JASON SMITH FUNERAL CHAPEL, 689 Norfolk St. North Simcoe for visitation on Friday, February 7th, 2020 from 2-4 & 6-8 p.m. A private family funeral will be held with Rev. Bryan Robertson officiating. Private interment of ashes at a later date.

A huge well done to all the children from Year 5 who represented our school in the Abbeydale Festival of Cricket yesterday! The children did themselves credit with their enthusiasm and good sportsmanship. Another thank you to all the parents who came along and provided such vociferous support throughout.
And finally... congratulations to the Girls Team who march onward to City Finals!

Q: How to find and classify the singularities of $\frac{e^{-z} \sin(2(z-1)^2)}{(z^2-4)(z-1)^2}$? How to find and classify the singularities of $$\frac{e^{-z} \sin(2(z-1)^2)}{(z^2-4)(z-1)^2}$$
Here is what I have:
I think the singularities are all isolated and are located at $z=1,\pm2$.
I have managed to calculate the residues at $\pm2$ by using the fact that they are simple poles and using the limit expression to find the residues I get
$$Res(f,2)=\frac{e^{-2} \sin(2)}{4} \\ Res(f,-2)=-\frac{e^{2} \sin(18)}{36}$$
Which I'm not too sure on, then I have no idea how to figure out the residue at $1$ it is a pole of order $2$ but I'm not sure how to evaluate it as the limit involves a nasty derivative.
Thanks.

A: For the residue at the "double pole" at $\;z=1\;$ :
$$\lim_{z\to1}\left((z-1)^2 f(z)\right)'=\lim_{z\to1}\left(\frac{e^{-z}\
\sin(2(z-1)^2)}{z^2-4}\right)'=$$
$$=\lim_{z\to1}\frac{2ze^{-z}\sin(2(z-1)^2)-(z^2-4)\left((-e^{-z}\sin(2(z-1)^2+4(z-1)e^{-z}\cos(2(z-1)^2)\right)}{(z^2-4)^2}=$$
$$=\frac{0+3\left(0\right)}{(-3)^2}=0$$
which doesn't surprise much since
$$\lim_{z\to1}\left(\frac{\sin(2(z-1)^2)}{(z-1)^2}\right)=\lim_{z\to1}\;2\;\left(\frac{\sin(2(z-1)^2)}{2(z-1)^2}\right)=2\cdot1=2$$
and thus $\;z=1\;$ is in fact a removable singularity, not an actual pole!

The Archaic Bannerstone Project (ABP) distinguishes 24 bannerstone types based on terms established by Byron Knoblock in his 1939 text Banner-stones of the North American Indian. Below, bannerstones can be browsed by these types and sub-types. As more collections are photographed and added to this ABP site we hope to include examples of all 24 types.


I'm sure I'm not the only one who has noted the sizeable pod of dolphins hanging out just south of the Newcastle Beach flags recently - at least a dozen last count.
Their presence has been a welcome balm to my lingering shark fear; swimming out past the breakers I rest in the assumption that they are busy keeping the great whites at bay. The other morning a disconcerting thought arose that this theory may be nothing but an urban myth, and in truth I know very little about the creature.
Along with the stereotype of the shark as an evil killer, dolphins have been equally mythologised.
Flipper comes to mind immediately, the smiling giggly do-gooder of afternoon TV. It's an image supported by the fun park variety, and the walled photo me as a 6 year old in matching tracksuit gingerly holding out a fish for the performing Seaworld pet.
There's the miracle healer dolphin, and the uber-intelligent telepathic one discussing philosophy underwater in long clicking sentences.
On the opposite spectrum is the 'dark dolphin' story depicting thugish males.
Analysts might say that this is an example of how we project outwards our 'shadow' sides – both the light and the dark. Ocean fauna are easy targets for this simply because we can't see them, and fill in the gaps with our imaginations.
So what are they really doing over there mere metres from me? Throwing wild parties? Reading picture books to their calves? Strategically hunting?
Some small amount of Googling revealed the unsurprising fact that at any one time dolphins are generally feeding, flirting, sleeping, mothering or asserting territory.
The species of bottle-nosed dolphin found off our coast commonly swim in groups of 2 to 15 individuals. Within these communities, males and females generally prefer to associate with the same gender, with the lads forming longer-lasting alliances. They work together to get a feed, using echolocation to locate and surround a school of fish, before taking turns todive in and scoop them up.
They can be quite aggressive, with males known to fight so violently that they have killed each other. Males have also been documented killing juveniles of their own species if found to be cuckolded.
Altruism is also a trait, with dolphins known to aid ill or injured peers by standing by and vocalizing, or physically supporting them at the surface so they can breathe.
While the intelligence question is debatable, there are some indications of their potential: they are fast learners and can generalise like pigs, and learn to understand complicated language-like commands like apes.
As for the shark question, while they have been known to give chase, by no means are they reliable guard dogs of the beach.
When I join the pod again the next morning, it isn't so much these facts that come to mind, but what I read about how the elders of the Worimi people at we know as Port Stephens would regularly speak with dolphins, or guparr, about where the food resources were and other matters. And again I feel safer in their company.

Q: Looping between two folders and perform operation with the fetched files Can anyone help me to resolve the below issue, I have two folders containing similar kind of reports (10 reports in each folder) in .xls format. I created a batch file that will extract one report from folder one and one from another folder. I am assuming that in both the folders the sequence of report is the same.
I mean Folderx --> ReportA then ReportB upto so on... Same for another folder.
After extracting the .xls file I have to compare these file using one .jar application. However, my batch file is comparing only the last reports.
Eg. Folder-A.report10 vs Folder-B.report10. I am expecting to compare one by one report. Means Report1 compare with Report1 then Report2 should be compared with Report2 upto so on......
Below is my code :
@echo off

set/p ExcelFilePath1="Path1:"
set/p ExcelFilePath2="Path2:"

set "MasterFolder1=%ExcelFilePath1%"
set "MasterFolder2=%ExcelFilePath2%"
Set LogFile=%~dpn0.txt
If exist "%LogFile%" Del "%LogFile%"

::set cdtl=0

::looploop
