🇺🇸 October 12 – The Legacy of Matthew Shepard

4899520260079616
Shepard’s murder was not just tragic, but horrific. After leaving a bar with two men, he was kidnapped, robbed, brutally beaten and tied to a fence, where he was left overnight to die.

Twenty-one years ago at 12:53 a.m. in Fort Collins, CO, Matthew Shepard died with his family by his side. Five days prior, he had been brutally attacked and left for dead in Laramie, WY, becoming the victim of one of the most notorious anti-gay hate crimes in this nation’s history.

Since that day, his parents, Judy and Dennis Shepard have led countless LGBTQ+ and allied advocates through difficult, impactful, and we hope lasting, change in Matt’s memory. But to quote Judy, “we aren’t doing it for him. We can’t help Matt anymore. But we all can and should help those who came after him.”

So, reflecting on this profound moment that changed the way we talk about and deal with hate in America, the Matthew Shepard Foundation challenges you today not to look backward in regret, but instead to honor Matt’s legacy by taking action toward a better future.

Matthew’s Parents Judy & Denis Shepard

October 28th will mark the 10th anniversary of the signing of the Matthew Shepard and James Byrd, Jr. Hate Crimes Prevention Act. The legislation, fought for tirelessly by his parents and a sweeping coalition of civil rights advocates, finally brought LGBTQ+ Americans under the protection of federal hate crimes law. Matt’s and Mr. Byrd’s namesake statute also extended recognition to victims of bias crimes based on gender identity and disability, and provided vital aid and training for law enforcement nationwide.

The Shepard-Byrd Act was a historic victory, but I don’t have to tell you that discrimination, violence and bigotry are rising again, threatening our efforts to erase hate and replace it with understanding and compassion. Sadly, the Foundation’s mission is more important than ever before.

Matt’s case gained international prominence and inspired millions of people to act. But in our work, we also remember and advocate for those too-numerous victims whose names have not risen to the world’s attention. In honor of them all, we name just a few whose lives also demand justice. Billy Jack Gaither. Sean Kennedy. Angie Zapata. James Anderson. Remember them and share in our work to prevent these tragedies from ever happening again.

Because although two decades have passed, we know that all of these stories hold the power to inspire, to bring diverse groups together, and change hearts and minds. We ask you to stand with the Matthew Shepard Foundation and take action today:

Get Educated – Learn more about the alarming increase of hate in this country and how you can be part of the solution.

Register to Vote – Our voice is the most powerful tool to erase hate. Make your voice heard and vote in 2020!

Contribute to the Matthew Shepard Foundation – Your donation directly impacts our programmatic efforts to erase hate, including hate crimes training, advocacy, education and legacy support.

With Hope,

Jason Marsden, Matthew Shepard Foundation Executive Director

🇨🇦 The Power of kindness – 9/11 Remembered

69971824_1506353006172695_7325847024396402688_n

Gander, NL International Airport Sept 11, 2001

The world was forever changed 18 years ago today. On September 11, 2001, Newfoundlanders and Labradorians opened their doors, and their hearts, to the world. The power of kindness transformed something so terrible into something we can forever be proud of. Today we remember all those who were lost and reflect on the events of that day and how the world has changed since. It seems so common now on this day to ask friends and colleagues “where were you on 9/11?” Well, I was working at the pharmacy at that time, long before entering into provincial politics, and the day started off like any other Tuesday. Then, like many of you at work or school that morning, I heard the terrible news of the attacks in New York City. I remember feeling that same sense of shock, fear and sadness that you all felt on that day. We’re all connected, and tragedy brings us closer. As Premier, I’m extraordinary proud of the people of our province every day, but especially today as I look back at the generosity and selflessness you showed by welcoming thousands of strangers into your homes – because it was the right thing to do. ~ Dwight Ball, 13th Premier of Newfoundland and Labrador

70528939_1506251036182892_1799508305370939392_n

Today we remember the tragic events that took 3,000 lives 18 years ago in New York and Washington, D.C. on September 11th. We also remember the determination of the first responders to help under very difficult circumstances. Here in NL the response to help was also evident as communities came together offering support to the thousands of passengers whose flights were diverted to our province. Those efforts are now celebrated in the Tony award-winning production Come From Away that shares real life personal accounts of those affected. Let us #NeverForget that in times of adversity we are stronger together. #kindnessmatters #911Day  – Lieutenant Governor Judy M. Foote

Eight passenger planes brought about 1,200 unexpected guests into Stephenville Airport following terrorist attacks in the United States on Sept. 11, 2001.

Newfoundland_and_Labrador

Stephenville Airport (IATAYJTICAOCYJT) is an airport located 1 nautical mile (1.9 km; 1.2 mi) south southeast of Stephenville, Newfoundland and LabradorCanada. It was built by the United States Air Force and operated as Ernest Harmon Air Force Base from 1941-1966.

The airport serves not only the town of Stephenville, but the city of Corner Brook to the north, and as far south as Port aux Basques, making the total catchment 100,000 people.

The airport is classified as an airport of entry by Nav Canada and is staffed by the Canada Border Services Agency who are able to process general aviation with up to 30 passenger

September 11, 2001 brought news of the most heinous terrorist attack in North American history to residents of Newfoundland and Labrador. With it descended a heavy fog of helplessness.

The usual 9 a.m. bustle at Bay St. George campus/Headquarters of College of the North Atlantic slowed to a crawl as people trickled in around the lobby television in disbelief. They were watching the aftermath of what was then thought to be a bizarre air traffic accident involving a commercial jet and the North Tower of New York’s World Trade Center, when a second commercial jet appeared from nowhere and slammed into the South Tower. As the world watched through live telecast, one tower collapsed, one was ablaze, and the horrendous had turned into the utterly incomprehensible.

Little did students and employees of CNA know at that moment that they would become a beacon of light in the darkest of hours.

Cyril Organ, Associate District Administrator at Building 432 of the Bay St. George campus, was at work and was paralyzed in horror along with the crowd gathering in the lobby. Then he received a telephone call informing him that up to 27 planes would be landing at Stephenville Airport en route from Europe and other countries to US destinations (poor weather allowed only eight to land). He quickly sprung into action to ready the college to host the passengers, and the feeling of helplessness began to dissipate. Read more click here. 

The CBC doc that explores how Gander Newfoundland took in 7,000 stranded passengers during 9/11 and inspired the Broadway hit musical “Come From Away”.

This week, we remember the ones we lost, but we also celebrate the extraordinary kindness that was shown 18 years ago. These words were displayed on the desk of Mayor Claude Elliott in Gander through to his retirement in 2017.

🇺🇳 A message from Zeid Raad Al Hussein

4804845834600448

Dear Friends, It is a great pleasure to write to you for the first time as a member of The Elders.

5297041503420416When I was invited to join this illustrious group in January, I said that “in an age when poor leadership, injustice and suffering is rife, The Elders’ vision of a world where people live in peace and are conscious of their common humanity is essential.”

I have had the privilege of joining my fellow Elders to advocate this message when we visited refugees from the vicious war in South Sudanat a camp in Ethiopia on the occasion of our May board meeting in that country.

All too often, the voices of the victims of conflict – those forcibly displaced from their homes, or victims of violence and human rights abuses – are overlooked or marginalised both by national and regional leaders, and the international community.

The same sadly applies to the people most at risk from perhaps the greatest existential threat facing our planet today: climate change.

We have all been shocked by the dreadful images of destructive fires in the Amazon rainforest in recent weeks.

This “lung of the world” is critical to sustaining life and biodiversity on Earth, and its rampant destruction, linked to logging and intensive farming, threatens to exacerbate the already dangerous effects of climate change and makes it even harder to keep global temperature rises below the critical level of 1.5 degrees.

No group is more threatened by the destruction of the Amazon rainforest than the indigenous people who have lived in and preserved its nature for generations. These proud communities, all too often marginalised and denied their fundamental rights, have a rich and sophisticated knowledge of their habitat. This makes them effective conservationists and guardians of biodiversity, and indispensable fighters against climate change, who deserve our protection and support.

The failure of Brazil’s leaders and the wider international community to respond adequately to this latest climate emergency is profoundly alarming. Although the recent declarationby G7 leaders was a small step in the right direction, the $20 million they pledged to help tackle the Amazon fires goes nowhere near enough towards tackling the problem.

An isolationist approach can never deliver credible or sustainable responses to the global challenges we face, from climate change to nuclear proliferation. Too often, mediocre leaders compound these problems by failing to act in the best interests of their people.

This is why we, as Elders, deplored the termination in early Augustof the Intermediate Nuclear Forces (INF) Treaty between Russia and the United States, which played a crucial role in ending Cold War tensions and removing the threat of a devastating nuclear war on the European continent.

It is also why we will be calling on world leaders to commit to bold, urgent actions at the UN Climate Summit in New York later this month.

The Amazon fires underscore why this is no time for complacency or obfuscation. The passion and determination of young people around the world who are striking for climate action and climate justice should both shame and inspire us all.    

The Elders will continue to demand urgent action, and stand in solidarity with young people and civil society fighting for their rights and positive change. As ever, we remain deeply grateful for your support in sustaining our work.

🇺🇳URGENT: Act now to protect funding for the United Nations🇺🇳

unnamed

They’re at it again. Last week, reports surfaced that the Trump Administration is preparing to submit a rescissions package to Congress that could claw back $4 billion in funding for international affairs programs, including the United Nations and its agencies. 

The White House came within a hair’s breadth of releasing a similar proposal last August, in an abortive attempt to make an end-run around Congress and make good on its promises to institute draconian cuts to the State Department and USAID.  

This package is directly at odds with Congress’ bipartisan funding levels for FY’19. If the Administration moves forward, current funding for the UN, peacekeeping activities and some of its critical humanitarian work could be inserious jeopardy

At a time when the U.S. is confronting numerous global crises, now is absolutely the wrong time to slash funding for civilian national security and foreign policy tools. Our military leaders are the first to say that hard power alone is not enough to keep our country safe. 

This is a time-sensitive issue, so we must act fast. Please speak up TODAY and urge Congress to weigh-in with the Administration to oppose the release of a new rescissions package targeting the international affairs budget.

Thanks for your support. I will be in touch with more soon.

🇦🇺 Olivia Newton-John 🌹️Don’t Stop Believin🌹️

header

Olivia Newton-John’s appeal seems to be timeless. With a career spanning more than four decades she is still a vibrant, creative individual that is adored by fans across the world.

Born in Cambridge, England in 1948, the youngest child of Professor Brin Newton-John and Irene, daughter of Nobel Prize winning physicist, Max Born, Olivia moved to Melbourne, Australia with her family when she was five. By the age of fifteen, she had formed an all-girl group called Sol Four. Later that year she won a talent contest on the popular TV show, “Sing, Sing, Sing,” which earned her a trip to London. By 1963, Olivia was appearing on local daytime TV shows and weekly pop music programs in Australia. Olivia cut her first single for Decca Records in 1966, a version of Jackie DeShannon’s “Till You Say You’ll Be Mine.” In 1971, she recorded a cover of Bob Dylan’s “If Not For You,” co-produced by John Farrar, who she continues to collaborate with today.

the beginning of a very exciting career. With more than 100 million albums sold, Olivia’s successes include four Grammy Awards, numerous Country Music, American Music and Peoples Choice Awards, ten #1 hits including “Physical,” which topped the charts for ten consecutive weeks, and over 15 top 10 singles. (In September 2008, Billboard Magazine listed “Physical” at #6 on their Top 100 Songs Of All Time list and in 2010 listed it as “The Sexiest Song of All Time”.) In 1978, her co-starring role with John Travolta in “Grease” catapulted Olivia into super-stardom. This film’s best-selling soundtrack featured the duets “You’re The One That I Want” and “Summer Nights,” with Travolta, as well as her mega-hit, “Hopelessly Devoted To You.” To date “Grease” remains the most successful movie musical in history. Her other feature film credits include “Toomorrow,” “Xanadu,” “Two Of A Kind,” “It’s My Party,” “Sordid Lives,” “Score: A Hockey Musical,” and “A Few Best Men.”

Biography

Shania Twain was born Eilleen Regina Edwards in Windsor, Ontario, Canada on August 28, 1965, the second oldest of five siblings. She was raised in Timmins, Ontario, about 500 miles due north of Toronto, where her adoptive father, an Ojibway Indian named Jerry Twain, and mother, Sharon, had both been raised. It was a proud but, at times, impoverished existence. They struggled to keep enough food in the cupboards, but there was always an abundance of music and love in the household.

ABC News – Published on Nov 6, 2013

After over 11 years without releasing an album, Shania Twain is working on new music.

Shania Twain Makes Her Comeback

Twain often grabbed a guitar and retreated to the solitude of her bedroom singing and writing until her fingers ached. “I grew up listening to Waylon, Willie, Dolly, Tammy, all of them,” she recalls. “But we also listened to the Mamas and the Papas, The Carpenters, The Supremes and Stevie Wonder. The many different styles of music I was exposed to as a child not only influenced my vocal style, but even more so, my writing style.” Her mom noticed Twain’s talents, and soon the youngster was being shuttled to radio and TV studios, community centers, senior citizens’ homes, “everywhere they could get me booked.” An 8-year-old Twain was often pulled out of bed to sing with the house band at a local club but only after alcohol sales ended at midnight. Later, Twain spent summers working with her stepfather as the foreman of a dozen-man reforestation crew in the Canadian bush, where she learned to wield an axe and handle a chain saw as well as any man. In the winter season, she would sing in clubs and do television and radio performances as often as her schooling would allow.

Shania Twain – Published on Jul 26, 2017

Shania Twain – Life’s About To Get Good

In 1987, at age 21, Twain lost her parents in an automobile accident. She took on the responsibility of raising her three younger siblings. She managed to keep the household going with a job at Ontario’s Deerhurst Resort, which not only provided for her new family responsibilities but also gave her an education in every aspect of theatrical performance, from musical comedy to Andrew Lloyd Webber to Gershwin. Three years later, with her brothers grown enough to take care of themselves, Twain was on her own. Shedding her real name, Eilleen, she adopted the Ojibway name of Shania, meaning “I’m on my way.” Twain recorded a demo tape of original music and set her sights on Nashville.

Shania Twain – That Don’t Impress Me Much (Official Music Video)

Although Twain landed a record deal with Mercury Records on the basis of her original material, her self-titled 1993 debut album featured only one of her songs, the feisty “God Ain’t Gonna Getcha for That.” Singles “What Made You Say That” and “Dance With the One That Brought You” each peaked at No. 55 on the Billboard country singles chart. It took a phone call from a distant admirer, rock producer Robert John “Mutt” Lange (AD/DC, Def Leppard, Foreigner, Bryan Adams and many more) for Twain to find a true believer, both in her voice and her original songs. Twain and Lange met face to face in Nashville at Fan Fair in 1993 and married six months later, by which time they’d written half an album’s worth of tunes together. As 1994 unfolded, they traveled and wrote their way across the United States, Canada, England, Spain, Italy and the Caribbean. They began to lay down basic tracks for a new album in Nashville, later recording overdubs and mixing in Quebec.

Shania Twain – Man! I Feel Like A Woman (Official Music Video)

The first results of their labor, “Whose Bed Have Your Boots Been Under,” entered the Billboard country singles chart in January 1995, peaking at No. 11. Twain’s second album, The Woman in Me, debuted on the country albums chart the following month. The collection has sold 18 million copies, making Twain the best-selling country female artist of all time. The single “Any Man of Mine,” hit the charts in May and became the first of four consecutive No. 1 hits for Twain, including “(If You’re Not in It for Love) I’m Outta Here!,” “You Win My Love” and “No One Needs to Know.” The project won a Grammy for country album of the year and was named album of the year by the Academy of Country Music in 1995.

Shania Twain – Forever And For Always (Official Music Video) (Red Version)

Twain’s third Mercury collection, Come on Over, was released in 1997, two years after her last album. The project continued Twain’s hot streak, producing No. 1 hits “Honey, I’m Home” and “Love Gets Me Every Time.” The sultry ballad “You’re Still the One” went to No. 1 on the country singles chart and made it to No. 2 on Billboard’s Hot 100 pop chart, solidifying Twain as a crossover artist. The sassy “Man! I Feel Like a Woman,” a Top 5 country hit, helped secure the singer a contract with cosmetics company Revlon, which used the tune in TV ads featuring Twain. Come on Over has sold 11 million copies to date.

Shania Twain – You’re Still The One (Official Music Video)

While The Woman in Me broke records and made Twain an international star, critics didn’t know what to make of her sexy image and independent approach to marketing her music. Instead of touring to promote the record, Twain made a series of sexy videos, one of which was shot on location in Egypt. The singer finally mounted her first major tour in 1998 following the release of Come on Over. The highly anticipated outing helped earn Twain entertainer of the year trophies from the ACM and the Country Music Association in 1999. Twain has won a total of five Grammys, including two for best country song (“Come on Over” and “You’re Still the One”) and two for best country female vocal performance (“Man! I Feel Like a Woman!” and “You’re Still the One”). She also has taken home trophies from the Canadian Country Music Awards, Canada’s JUNO Awards and the American Music Awards. In 1999, Broadcast Music, Inc. (BMI) named Twain both country songwriter of the year and pop songwriter of the year. Her ballad, “You’re Still the One,” was named BMI’s country and pop song of the year.

Shania Twain – Up! (Red Version)

At the top of her game, Twain retreated to her home in Switzerland with her husband at the end of 1999. She and Lange welcomed their first child, a son named Eja, together in the summer of 2001 while preparing her 2002 release Up!, featuring the hit single “I’m Gonna Getcha Good.”

🇨🇦 Colin James 🆕”Miles To Go”🆕

header
With his 19th album, Miles to Go (out Sept. 21, on Stony Plain Records in the USA and True North Records ROW), Colin James is getting back to the blues.
Miles to Go, Colin James’ ambitious sequel to the critically acclaimed Blue Highways, continues James’ story with a collection of carefully curated songs handpicked from some of the greatest blues artists.
In the months leading up to the recording, as James was reflecting on songs for the album he decided to reacquaint himself with a beautiful red Gibson ES-335. It was just like the guitar he played as a teenager but regretfully had to sell for rent money.
While James reconnected with this guitar, Miles to Go seemed to just flow onto the studio floor.

Colin James – 40 Light Years (Official Video)


This album blends songs old and new, some of them completely reimagined and some almost perfect homages. But all are unified by a theme of undying love for the blues and the highest respect for the creators that led the way.

Known as one of Canada’s best blues musicians, it wasn’t until 2016’s Blue Highways that James found himself on a blues chart: the album spent 10 weeks at No. 1 on the Roots Music Report’s Blues Chart. It also landed him one of his biggest hits: “Riding in the Moonlight”. A Willie Dixon song that James once covered when busking in the streets and subways of Toronto and Montreal that landed on a Spotify playlist garnering millions of streams.
2018 Maple Blues Awards

Toronto Blues Society – Published on Jun 8, 2018

Colin James closing the 21st Annual Maple Blues Awards with special guest Steve Marriner of MonkeyJunk.


All my life I’ve tried to bring vitality to older songs. Hopefully my dedication to it is what floats it over the mark. That’s a subjective thing; some people will always prefer the original. However, there’s always a group of people coming up to see me after a show who might say, “Oh, I never would have heard ‘One More Mile’ by James Cotton—nothing in my life would have pointed me there.”

So much of Colin James’s career has pointed him to this moment: joyfully tangled up in the blues, which, as he notes, “is the only genre where you can maintain a young profile at the age of 53.”
