In 1873, Charles Noseworthy, a recent graduate of a middle-class school in England, is sent by his uncle to learn farming in the backwoods of Canada. As an incentive, his uncle offers to buy him his first farm upon graduating from the somewhat dubious 'Academy of Husbandry Science' near Fenelon Falls, Ontario.True to his word, the uncle carries through with his promise of a farm, but unfamiliar with Canada's vast geography, it is located 2,000 miles away in the frontier settlement of Pincher Creek, District of Alberta.Undeterred, Charles sets out alone to claim it, but along the way he meets up with two unexpected travel companions. One is a drifter from New Mexico who is phenomenally fast with a gun, and the other is able to 'shoot' as well, but would much rather indulge in her favourite treats of biscuits and jam.Thus begins an incredible journey through the uncharted regions of Western Canada, where the only law that mattered was what you were packing on your hip. This suited Wil Carter - whose secret identity is the "Kid Cupid" - but rumour has it that there is another gun coming to Pincher Creek.Will Charles and Wil be able to settle down in peace, or will Wil be forced to face yet another showdown? Find the answer in your copy of The Brit, Kid Cupid, and Petunia.

We Are Who We Were When it comes to local history there is much to explore. There are family, friends, and neighbors hidden in our past. There are mysteries to be solved and stories lost in the passages of time are waiting to be retold. If we are to understand our ancestors, we must, first of all, understand where and how they lived because without this information we are getting an incomplete picture. Like politics, all history is local because it ultimately comes back to an individual. The impact of political choices made at a national or international level is felt in communities, neighborhoods and the lives of individual families. Learning about history in school we are told about the big dramatic events that affect our nation or the world on a large scale. Occurrences such as industrialization, world wars, and economic depressions are examples of such things. This information is important but is only an overview. This is where local history finds its greatest purpose. It teaches us how our ancestors were affected by such events and choices and how these effects influence our lives. Limerick too has its stereotypical citizens. Historians are now realizing that the places in which we live plays a significant role in who we are and how we perceive the world and, in fact, stereotypes actually reflect something much deeper and shapes us in dramatic ways. In these pages, we zoom in closer to the day-to-day events that affected the people of Limerick in the 20th century. We have uncovered through the local, national and international newspaper archives many of the most controversial but now long forgotten stories and events that shape the people of our city. This is our hidden history and it best not forgotten and to give us a richer insight we must also take a closer look at Limerick through the images of the period. What unfolds as you read through these pages is the story of Limerick in the 20th Century, the story of us as Limerick people and how we got where we are today. After all, we are who we were.

We Are Who We Were The Limerick History Gazette Project started in September 2015 and is a simple idea. To build a free online archive of 20,000 privately owned images of Limerick, Ireland in the 20th Century. Photography began in 1826 and the astonishing technology since then means there are far more pictures being taken every second of every day. Limerick is no exception to this phenomenon. There are hundreds of thousand of images taken by amateur photographers laying idle and gathering dust throughout the city and it is our mission to seek out these images and put them on public display in a permanent online archive available to present and future generations of Limerick people and their descendants long into the future. Using modern social media as a crowdsourcing tool Limerick History Gazette was launched and in a matter of months thousands of Limerick people all over the world joined the project and started to donate images from their own private collections. We reached out to the people of Limerick and they responded in a most amazing way and within months we had gathered in excess of 20,000 archivable images and still growing. It is an exhaustive but worthy process selecting images for our archive as we go through thousands of images to unearth the diamonds but by monitoring and gaging the reaction of our members to each image it has simplified the task and each archived image is therefore selected by our members for inclusion in our archive. However, there is no formula that makes one picture more historically important than another, some images appear because they give us a deeper understanding of how ordinary life was for the people of Limerick in the 20th Century while others reflect the sense of community that existed on the streets of the city north, south, east and west. Many images are also archived because they directly showed the way we lived, celebrated, loved and shared our greatest moments and our darkest days. In the process of building this archive it becomes crystal clear that the photographer had to be present to bear witness to the unfolding events in the hope that history as it happened and the documenting of it with the tangible evidence of a photograph can create an atmosphere where change is possible. Modern history is filled with famous photographs, images that speak to us in many ways. They show us the very best that humanity is capable of as well as the very worst, and everything in between, and the same can be said of the not so famous private home collections of the ordinary people of the world. With camera in hand they too can capture moments in history that defined their families, their neighbourhoods, their city and their world. Whether we know the stories behind these individual images or not they do tell us a different story because they define us and show us from where we came and where we should be going.

Over the last 26 years, Cambridge has won 4 state championships and played in 3 more. They have been the Northeast New York Regional champs 14 times, been Sectional champs 16 times, and have earned divisional and/or league championships 21 times. Cambridge boasts one of the most consistent and prolific high school football offenses in America. Cambridge has ranked in New York State's top 10 teams for their respective Class in 20 of the last 26 years. Over these 26 years, the team's average score vs. opponents is 36-11, and Cambridge's win rate is 86%. Such spectacular success... Why? Why is this particular program so very good? Why in Cambridge and why not in someplace else? The answers are rooted in history, and they can be found inside this book. Cambridge football is special. It was special when it began in 1892. It became special in a new way when the current 26-year period began, back in 1992. That transformation can be traced directly to a single play, "The Play," the Two-Back "Special." Cambridge football: Special Since '92.

Covent Garden 1947. After acknowledging the applause following her spectacular debut performance of Salome, Bulgarian soprano Ljuba Welitsch made her way back to her dressing-room. As she was changing her costume there came a knock on the door: a small group of male admirers had gathered outside to pay their compliments. Taken completely by surprise the startled diva, whose English at the time was, to say the least, somewhat limited, called out: "Don't come in yet poys: I'm still dressed " It's anecdotes like these that add sparkle and fun to the topsy-turvy world of opera - hence the title. The author has spent about three years collecting more than three hundred anecdotes about operas, singers, composers, conductors and impresarios. Arranged from A to Z for easy reference, the reader will find an amusing account of the man who, after seeing a performance of Aida in Parma, wrote to Verdi demanding his money back; stories about Callas, Caruso and other celebrated singers as well as such composers as Rossini, Puccini and Straus (not a typo: it's spelt with one s); about the World's Greatest Tenor and the various claimants to that illustrious but contentious title; composers who sang; the hidden dangers of opera in translation; prima donnas and their tantrums; and the activities of that unseen body, the claque. If you'd like to test your knowledge of matters operatic check the opera quiz. There's also the story of a little fox terrier, who despite his humble pedigree, can claim to be the world's most famous dog, mainly thanks to opera.

The Richmond Assault: A Short History of Barber-Musicians and Their Role in the Development of Brush-Playing

The Richmond Assault: A Short History of Barber-Musicians and Their Role in the Development of Brush-Playing

Gerry Paton

Independently Published
2018
nidottu
'The Richmond Assault' was a turn of phrase used to describe the practice of being brushed-down in rhythm by African American barbers in 19th century Richmond, Virginia. To a unsuspecting customer, the sensation of being slapped on the back by a barber's 'whisk-broom' felt like a physical assault; and the lesson in syncopation that followed - the customer serving as a convenient 'drum' - was for some, nothing more than an auditory assault. This book not only chronicles the development of this early form of brush-playing, but also puts its birth in context by exploring the wider musical tradition within barbering; a tradition that owes as much to world religion and medicine, as it does to musical heritage.

IF YOU FOUND OUT YOU WERE GOING TO DIE TOMORROW, what would that information stir in you? Calmness? Regrets? Sadness? Need? Wishes? What promises would you make to yourself, if you could suspend the end? And what if the time from now until tomorrow is compromised by your condition? There would be no arranged farewells, no last meal of your choice, none of the luxuries that Hollywood or bucket lists suggest are available to us. For 5 days in an ICU in NYC this became my reality. Isolated, not allowed food or water, not coherent or comprehending enough to communicate with my loved ones, and too scared to go to sleep in case I didn't wake. I use my love for music as the backdrop for my story. The songs and lyrics that elevated my spirit, mended my heart and showed me the real connections in my life. Songs that brought me comfort and that brought back memories of the people, places and times that mattered the most.The key concept of the book is 'practicing death'. Faced with a high possibility that this was the end for me, 'Practicing death' is the idea that you can use my story and my experiences over the last 5 years, to deal with the inevitability of death. Use this story to evaluate your life, to challenge yourself with the big questions, and to shape your life in such a way that WHEN that time comes, you are more in control and more satisfied with your answers than I was.
