Nations titled “Unlucky Woman – The Story of Linda Keene.” Unfortunately, Linda Keene never penned an autobiography so her story is only what can be pieced together from her various media notices, reviews of her recordings, and advertisements for her public appearances. The second was four years later in 2011 in Doctor Jazz Magazine out of Holland by Opal L. The first was “Linda Keene - Leonard Feather’s Fave” published in The IAJRC Journal (International Association Of Jazz Record Collectors) in August of 2007 by Eves L. There have been a couple of scholarly articles over the years but the information in both is sparse and, at times, incorrect. Ultimate, lasting fame eluded her however and all of her recordings have languished on obscure 78 rpm records for eighty years. Linda laid down more than 20 recordings during her career, appeared on a nationally syndicated radio program with Henry Levine, and even appeared in three early film “Soundies,” the precursors to today’s music videos. Such is the unfortunate story of Linda Keene. How is it that a popular singer who recorded with the likes of Jack Teagarden, Tony Pastor, Lennie Hayton and toured extensively with bands led by Red Norvo and Muggsy Spanier, is all but forgotten today? 52-Pages Booklet i ncluding comprehensive essay,Ĭomplete sessionography, full recording details, rare photos & memorabilia.John, Mike Doty, Slats Long, Hank Freeman, Johnny McAfee (cl, as), John Van Eps, Hub Lytle, John Sadola, Willard Brady, Stuart Anderson, Tony Pastor, Rudolph Adler (ts, cl), Ernie Caceres (bs, ts, cl), Dave Bowman, John Anderson, Lennie Hayton, Les Burness, Mario Janarro, Charlie Queener, Leonard Feather, Joe Springer (p), Red Norvo (vib), Eddie Condon, Allan Reuss, Dave Barbour, Al Avola, Tony Colucci, Chuck Wayne, Remo Palmieri (g), Clyde Newcombe, Art Miller, Bernie Friedland, Marvin Wittstein, Harry Patent, Irving Lang, Clyde Lombardi (b), Andy Picard, Clois Teagarden, Bunny Shawker, Johnny Morris, Nat Levine, Buddy Christian, Eddie Dell (d), Adele Girard (harp), Dorsey Anderson (vcl) Shame.Personnel: Linda Keene (vcl), Bobby Hackett (cnt), Charlie Spivak, Lee Castle, Carl Garvin, Bill Graham, John Dillard, George Jaffe, Max Kaminsky, Irving Berger, Bill Robbins, Charles Trotta, Henry Levine, Charlie Shavers (tp), Jack Teagarden (tb, vcl), Jose Gutierrez, Mark Bennett, Charles McCamish, Walter Mercurio, Wendell de Lory, Henry Singer, Bill Abel, Ray Noonan, Al Philburn (tb), Brad Gowans (v-tb, as), Pee Wee Russell, Alfie Evans, Joe Marsala, Aaron Sachs (cl), Clint Garvin, Art St. As for the two good scenes traditionally to be found in Phantom movies, Little has several ineffective unmasking and omits the chandelier altogether. We get several climaxes, none very worthwhile, and a set-up for the sequel, The Phantom Of New York, which was never actually shot.ĭwight Little laces the Victorian huffing and puffing with Elm Street wisecracks and lovingly applied ketchup. "There must be hundreds of miles of tunnel down here," exclaims one bobby as they go through the same mile of sewer for the hundredth time. The Phantom skins his victims and sews bits of their faces onto his own to cover the not-terribly-horrifying scars inflicted by a Satanic dwarf in a silly flashback.Īfter sundry murders and arias, the Phantom kidnaps the girl and takes her to his lair, pursued by the hero and the police. He is, in fact, the Phantom, a cloaked and masked type who hangs out in the sewers under the theatre and is rumoured to have sold his soul to the Devil for musical genius. She is being coached for her big break by a mysterious "angel" who dwells behind her dressing room mirror. It opens with a soprano (Schoelen) sent back to an earlier incarnation in Victorian London. It does, however, have better music in Gounod's Faust than the Andrew Lloyd Webber version. This 80s version of Phantom rehashes bits from the 1925 Lon Chaney, 1943 Claude Rains and 1963 Herbert Lorn movies in a vehicle for Nightmare on Elm Street's Robert Englund. Locally, CDM was named Best Museum in the Times Free Press’s Best of the Best competition and is a two-time Nonprofit of the Year finalist. CDM received the CICL Pinnacle Award for its work in biofuels distance learning lessons. It has been nationally-ranked by Trekaroo and Child magazines. Since opening its doors in 1995, CDM has welcomed over 5 million visitors. Ignite Discovery: Creating the new CDM is chaired by Susu and Paul Brock and Leah and Jay Hill. In addition to facility renovations, this campaign addresses each of the needs by updating and installing new exhibits, expanding outreach programs and creating a new, vibrant urban space on the CDM Plaza.Ĭonstruction is set to begin August 2021 and be completed by May 2022, just in time to celebrate the Museums 27th birthday. These challenges include strengthening early childhood education, providing new opportunities for STEAM (science, technology, engineering, arts and math) learning, increasing access for all children regardless of background and helping revitalize the Riverfront District. Ignite Discovery addresses community challenges that were identified in a 2018 Feasibility Study conducted by POWER 10, an Atlanta-based fundraising firm that previously assisted with the campaign. “To advance our vision and mission, we must invest in our building, exhibits and outreach programs so that the next generation has high quality, hands-on learning experiences in the arts and sciences that are imperative to the development of every child.” “As we look to the future, we recognize that it is more important than ever to proceed with the comprehensive renovation project that is designed to position CDM for long term success,” said Henry Schulson, executive director. However, grant-based relief funding and strong financial footing created by reserves and endowment are helping to address these issues and enabling the campaign to move forward. Officials said the pandemic and 14-week shutdown of the Museum have had a significant impact on CDM’s finances. This shows that even in the face of uncertainty, we understand how critical an institution like Creative Discovery Museum is to the future of our city,” said Patrick Stowe, CDM’s board chair. “Recent gifts and the steadfast support of our community throughout have been tremendous and very heartening. Harris Foundation, $200,000 from Blue Cross Blue Shield of Tennessee, $100,000 from the City of Chattanooga, $60,000 from Southface Good Use, $50,000 from Pla圜ore and $50,000 from the George R. CDM received several large contributions to the campaign during the suspension: $250,000 from the Institute of Museum and Library Services, $250,000 from the Clarence E. To date, nearly $7.1 million has been raised from a broad base of supporters including corporations, foundations and community leaders. When asked to give up his allotted tickets when they were on tour for some corporate guys he refused. He loved root beer, he had a black 2000 Trans AM, that car had everything possible on it and was cool. He did play guitar live on stage with Alice In Chains and Mad Season. If you ever find the interview of them telling the story it’s worth a watch. The first time Layne ever met Jerry Cantrell was at a friends party and when he found out Jerry was homeless he took him home that night and let him stay in what they both called a room that smelled of old piss. Layne also didn’t manage the Music Bank he just worked there and they let him live in a rehearsal space. They did change the name slightly but, it hadn’t anything to do with Guns N Roses. Layne said when he heard these guys sing he said fuck it I’m in. Jerry and the guys decided to audition lead singers and ask Layne to come to the try outs and help them choose the best one, the only thing was they had found the worst of the worst on purpose. He did fill in on vocals for Jerry’s band in the beginning and they did everything to get him to become their lead singer but, he wasn’t ready to leave his band. Jerry Cantrell played in Diamond Lie in the beginning and Layne Staley’s band was actually “Alice N’Chainz”. I love that you all appreciate Alice In Chains music and I mean all of their music just not the radio hits. I’ve just recently come across this site and I’ve read everything everyone has written. Kent R Franklin from FredricktownMiss em!.He also adlibed the screams on the intro to Them Bones, & contributed on a riff in God Am, which he also wrote the lyrics to. It was also his idea to hit a bong before God Am, the only time his studio engineer ever seen him do drugs. He actually wrote the lyrics to 31(~60%) songs for AiC, including all but three songs on Self Titled/Tripod. He also wrote the music & lyrics to Head Creeps. Kenny from TulsaLayne did in fact write the music and lyrics to Angry Chair, & Hate to Feel on Dirt, and played them live up through 93, can confirm on YouTube.Popeyeguy from Franklin,wisconsinSure do miss Layne Staleys unique vocals, never did get a chance to see them live.May he be surrounded by peace, love, and light. But I will also correct anything I read about him, that is BS. I will forever miss and think about, and be incredibly sad that Layne had to leave us. I now have a pacemaker-defibrillator implanted in my chest. I am by no means an expert on death, I’m just sharing my experience. He doesn’t miss Demri anymore, or anyone/anything for that matter. If it’s the same for everyone, he is for sure at peace, with no more pain, no sadness, just silence and complete and total contentment and peace. I had to have CPR, and got shocked with defibrillators, to come back. I have been there with my illness, and literally died 2 times. I choose to believe that his heart just couldn’t work anymore. I am 5’1” and was down to 89 pounds due to an immune-system disease. My heart will always be shattered by his death. I just wanted them for the pictures, but I decided I didn’t want to support what he was so against. I believe once they heard how pissed off he was about it, and that he didn’t want anything to do with it, they stepped out and stopped contributing. Actually Nancy and his sister DID initially participate in sharing info about Layne. I was (WAS) going to buy the 2 books written about him. I won’t get into all that, I’m simply saying, we won’t ever have another Layne, in this lifetime…or any. I’m not saying there is an actual heaven, but there is a condition, rather. His voice was akin to the heavens opening up to allowing us mortals to hear the voice of who came to be an angel, himself. He was an artist by true definition! All artist are self-deprecating, through words and/or actions. I’m in deep with trying to get AIC in the RRHOF but mostly Layne for all of the other music he had going on, independently from AIC. I have a permanent pit in my stomach due to a lot of what went down with Layne’s passing, and to this day. Marc from Pittsburgh,paKelly from Kansas THANK YOU!!! I have been trying to spread everything you have said for a while now. They key to whether or not someone is a Summer is that they are most harmonious in soft, cool colors. I am almost positive that Tyra Banks is a Summer, for instance. Even women of color can be Summers, but they do tend to have relatively lighter skin and generally have an eye color other than brown. That doesn’t mean, however, that all Summers have light hair nor do they even have to have light skin. Nature paints these people in soft pastels brushed with blue, like a Monet painting – quiet and peaceful. Summers are lit by twilight – the light as the sun is going down on a Summer evening. To be a Summer, you may not fit all of these descriptions and adjectives as they are certainly generalizations. One trait I find to be almost universal with Summers is that they make decisions slowly and may get tied up in details. Many tend to be frugal and also collectors – they don’t like to throw much away. Although they are usually soft on the outside, they have a determination to them that can surprise you as many are also stubborn and/or strong-willed. They are often quiet spoken, responsible, practical, efficient, organized, understanding, and diplomatic. What Summers generally have in common is a gentle energy. Ranging from the princess – like Grace Kelly or Kate Middleton – to the Bohemian like Ashley Judd or Angelina Jolie. This is also true for the people of the Summer season. There is a lot going on and a lot to notice underneath the surface. If you look at the picture of the summer garden, it’s complex. Are you a Summer? Summer Personality Traits Hence, the people of the Summer season often have a soft, peaceful nature. It’s like the landscape is washed in soothing lavender bringing a sense of relaxation and calm. The hot sun beating down results in blended and muted hues while summer showers create cascading flowers that flow over trellises along with lush gardens. Although there is lots of foliage in the summer, there is a blended quality as well. The summer months bring a change in the quality of the color. When I picture the Summer color palette, I think of the English country garden – soft, blended, and diffused. So, let’s start with the season of Summer. Not only does each season relate to particular color qualities, but also design style and even personality. The seasons, however, go beyond best colors. A personal color analysis is the tool that enables you to determine your season, and thereby, your best colors. When you utilize the colors that are inherent in you, people are focused on you and not your clothing. The goal of seasonal color analysis is to create visual harmony by selecting a color palette that relates to your natural coloring. I added 1/3 almond flour to the 2cuos of flour total and I used cake flour. I didn't find that it took too long to bake, just about 45 minutes or so.Ī keeper-I didn’t read the reviews but some were correct in the time it was raw in the middle after 50 min so took another 25. I followed other reviewers' directions and cut olive oil down to 1 cup, and added an extra lemons worth of zest + juice. This was really lovely! Super moist and citrusy. We have a beautiful Myers lemon tree and I'm mot sure about other varieties, but Myers are wonderful. If you read the reviews and use less oil and more lemon, the result is a very moist and lemony summer cake. Candied lemon peel is even better - do it yourself with the zest of an additional lemon, monkfruit and water. If you zest the lemon too soon, it will dry out and become inedible. And I only used ‘freshly zested’ lemon plus powdered sugar to finish the top for serving. I increased the citrus to 3-lemons (total) for their juice and zest. SUGAR-FREE AND SUPER-MOIST: I substituted monkfruit for all but the topping sugar and it was perfectly sweet and unctuous! I also reduce the oil by 1/2-cup to 1-cup (total). Store tightly wrapped at room temperature. Just before serving, dust cake with powdered sugar and top with more lemon zest if you have it.ĭo Ahead: Cake can be baked 3 days ahead. Transfer pan to a wire rack and let cake cool before unmolding. Step 3īake cake until top is golden brown and a tester inserted into the center comes out clean, about 50 minutes. Scrape batter into prepared pan and smooth surface. Whisk, using circular motions to slowly incorporate egg mixture, until batter is mostly smooth (some lumps are okay). Make a well in the center and gradually pour egg mixture into well. Whisk flour, salt, baking powder, and baking soda in a large bowl to combine. Add milk, vanilla, and zest and juice of 2 lemons and whisk to combine. Whisk eggs, 1½ cups oil, and 1¼ cups sugar in a medium bowl until smooth. Line bottom with a parchment paper round and brush parchment with oil. Contact us to discuss the flavor options we always have in stock or to develop a custom flavor specifically for your needs.Preheat oven to 350°. Whether an extract or an emulsion is the right choice for you depends on the type of flavor you’re looking for and the size of what you’re producing. Some people prefer emulsions and the more robust flavor, whereas others believe it can be overwhelming. Because it’s volatile, it evaporates fast, but as the alcohol evaporates, it takes some of the flavor and smells with it.īy comparison, flavor emulsions use the gooey mix of water and vegetable gum, which don’t evaporate nearly as quickly as alcohol and thus better retain essential oils during baking. A downside to extracts is the volatility of alcohol. Because alcohol is a tremendous flavor solvent and preservative, many households benefit from the long-lasting and flavorful vanilla extract. Suspending the vanilla flavor compounds in alcohol is a smart choice for the end user because it is rare anyone would use that much vanilla extract at once. One of the most common flavor extracts in a household is vanilla extract. A flavor emulsion suspends the flavor compounds in water and vegetable gum. A flavor extract uses a 35% (approximate) alcohol solution to suspend the flavor compounds. The main difference lies in where the flavor compounds are suspended. We know flavor extracts and emulsions are the two main types of flavoring ingredients, but what makes the two different? Why might you use one instead of the other? Emulsions and extracts are not the same thing, so knowing when and how to use them is key. The proper flavoring extracts and emulsions can help with this. If they’re going to be talked into trading one food for another, they need to be assured they’re not missing out on taste. Consumers want to eat healthy, but they also want to enjoy the taste of what they’re eating and drinking. Producers know this, which is why when marketing a healthy snack, for example, brands always mention that it still tastes as good or better than its competitors. The flavor of a given brand’s product is what distinguishes it from its competition. Taste is one of the primary deciding factors for the product you choose. The Importance of Flavor Extracts & Emulsions Extracts and emulsions are a valuable component of your food, so it’s important to understand the difference between the two, when they should be used, and why. This is where flavor extracts and emulsions come in – their ability to create custom flavors helps provide the savory tastes you crave, whether you’re seeking bubblegum, caramel, vanilla, or almond. No matter the latest trends, popular diets, or your personal habits, flavor is always of the utmost importance. There is one attribute to food and beverages on which consumers never want to compromise. Please read the rules wiki page for a more detailed break-down of each rule.

A Certified Bookkeeper (CB) designation illustrates that the individual has advanced bookkeeping skills.Īccording to the AIPB, bookkeepers report that certification helped them gain new clients, job interviews, and raise their rates.

I am part of a business association for bookkeppers and accountants - one of the requirements is that we spend 2-4 days every year to. Regular classes or courses are always worth it, as rules and regulations change often. Alternatively, an advanced degree in the same field, such as an online MBA, might focus more on business strategy and advanced accounting.Ī boot camp in data analytics, or a topic such as fintech or technology project management could also complement an educational background in business and help learners round out their skill set. Ive worked with bookkeeping, accounting, controlling and auditing the past 20 years - this path is one of continous growth. It could include coursework in accounting, business communication, and finance. There is no one path for learners to build this knowledge base.įor example, a bachelor’s degree in business can be tailored to many different professions. How to become a bookkeeper onlineīecoming a bookkeeper will involve combining many different kinds of skills: finance, record keeping, technology, data management, and communication. Careers like accounting and analysis may require specific degrees or training. Just because an individual has bookkeeping experience or knowledge, does not mean they are qualified for any career that includes bookkeeping tasks.

A graduate of the Global Demography programme will thus be able to successfully deal with large volumes of complex scientific data, evaluate their practical meaning, and apply the findings to advance research and influence regional and global policymaking. Students enrolled in the Global Demography master’s programme will explore the international demographic literature, learn important methodological tools, and gain an array of transferable skills reaching beyond academia. Guided by leading experts in the field, students will be given the opportunity to explore the multidimensional ramifications and implications of demographic change on economic, social, and environmental issues. The principal aim of the master’s programme in Global Demography at the University of Vienna is to give students a strong scientific grounding in the analysis and forecasting of demographic developments across the globe – in particular, fertility, mortality and migration trends. Demographic analysis is key to understanding the complex dynamics shaping the future social landscape. Demography affects each and every aspect of our lives – from the world economy and social policy, to city planning and climate change. This is a relatively conservative goal, but it can nevertheless produce broader positive effects, including lower poverty rates and higher overall productivity in destination economies.In a world of over 8 billion people, studying population change is essential for a proper understanding of the problems of today, and for tackling the challenges of tomorrow. But if countries narrow that wage gap to just 5 to 10 percent by integrating immigrants more effectively across various aspects of education, housing, health, and community engagement, they could generate an additional boost of $800 billion to $1 trillion to worldwide economic output annually. Today immigrants tend to earn 20 to 30 percent less than native-born workers. Realizing the benefits of immigration hinges on how well new arrivals are integrated into their destination country’s labor market and into society. Extensive academic evidence shows that immigration does not harm native employment or wages, although there can be short-term negative effects if there is a large inflow of migrants to a small region, if migrants are close substitutes for native workers, or if the destination economy is experiencing a downturn. Visit our Productivity Competitiveness and Growth pageĮmployment rates are slightly lower for immigrants than for native workers in top destinations, but this varies by skill level and by region of origin. From 2000 to 2014, immigrants contributed 40 to 80 percent of labor-force growth in major destination countries. Almost two-thirds of the world’s migrants reside in developed countries, where they often fill key occupational shortages. About half of all migrants globally have moved from developing to developed countries-indeed, this is the fastest-growing type of movement. While some migrants travel long distances from their origin countries, most migration still involves people moving to neighboring countries or to countries in the same part of the world (exhibit). A companion report, Europe’s new refugees: A road map for better integration outcomes, examines the challenges and opportunities confronting individual countries. But the recent surge of arrivals in Europe has focused the developed world’s attention on this issue. Roughly half of the world’s 24 million refugees are in the Middle East and North Africa, reflecting the dominant pattern of flight to a neighboring country. Most voluntary migrants are working-age adults, a characteristic that helps raise the share of the population that is economically active in destination countries.īy contrast, the remaining 10 percent are refugees and asylum seekers who have fled to another country to escape conflict and persecution. Voluntary migration flows are typically gradual, placing less stress on logistics and on the social fabric of destination countries than refugee flows. Refugees might be the face of migration in the media, but 90 percent of the world’s 247 million migrants have moved across borders voluntarily, usually for economic reasons. A new report from the McKinsey Global Institute (MGI), People on the move: Global migration’s impact and opportunity, aims to fill this need. It has also become a flashpoint for debate in many countries, which underscores the importance of understanding the patterns of global migration and the economic impact that is created when people move across the world’s borders. Migration is a key feature of our increasingly interconnected world. |
