8 MUST-WATCH 90'S TV SERIES ON LAW
Posted on July 5, 2018 July 7, 2018 by JURISEDGE
TV always loved lawyers. And, we love TV series of Law as well. In recent years, Suits, Boston Legal are famous, entertaining and engaging TV Series for all Law-lovers. But in 90's, there were some awesome Legal TV series from which a law student can learn a lot of things to count on.
L.A. Law (1986-1994)
This groundbreaking series about a boutique law firm, McKenzie, Brackman, Chaney & Kuzak, did for lawyers what Hill Street Blues did for cops. Created by Steven Bochco and Terry Louise Fisher (Cagney & Lacey), L.A. Law depicted them as smart, driven, fallible, sexy and as varied as the rest of humankind. For lawyers of a certain age, Leland McKenzie is the managing partner they are still looking for. Douglas Brackman Jr. is the manager they seem to end up with.
TRIVIA: Norman Chaney, a firm name partner, is found dead of a heart attack in the very first episode and is never actually seen on camera.
HOLY LLB ROUND NECK BLACK T-SHIRT
The Practice (1997-2004)
Bobby Donnell was a handsome, driven defense attorney who surrounded himself at the self-named firm of Robert Donnell & Associates with talented lawyers who lacked the pedigree necessary to cut it in BigLaw. They made up the difference with street smarts and sheer tenacity. Lawyer David E. Kelley created and produced the show just after he developed Ally McBeal. Unlike AMcB, The Practice appreciated the cognitive dissonance between applications of the law and real life.
TRIVIA: Kelley created the role of Helen Gamble for Lara Flynn Boyle after auditioning her for the role of Ally McBeal.
Night Court (1984-1992)
Judge Harry Stone (Harry Anderson) presided over the late-night antics of a misdemeanor court in New York City, which featured a lecherous prosecutor, a no-nonsense court clerk, a droll set of bailiffs and a string of cover-girl public defenders. Full of pratfalls and seriously good intentions, the show managed to humanize the one place where most people meet up with the law.
TRIVIA: John Larroquette (prosecutor Dan Fielding) narrated the original version of The Texas Chain Saw Massacre.
PLAY WITH WORDS ROUND NECK WHITE T-SHIRT
Murder One (1995-1997)
This electric legal serial featured Daniel Benzali as Teddy Hoffman, a zealous no-nonsense defense attorney who was never quite sure whether his client was guilty or not. Benzali was replaced in the second season by Anthony LaPaglia, and the show suffered from a lack of continuity.
TRIVIA: The single-case first season motif, which required lengthy explanations of previous action, was dropped in the second season.
Reasonable Doubts (1991-1993)
Mark Harmon played an investigator who, because of his knowledge of sign language, was assigned to work for the DA (Marlee Matlin), who happens to be deaf. The oil-and-water relationship between the two sustained the show for a surprising 45 episodes.
TRIVIA: A poster for Reasonable Doubts decorates the office of a TV producer in an episode of Seinfeld.
Matlock (1986-1995)
The irrepressible Andy Griffith played Atlanta defense attorney Ben Matlock as a crafty, high-priced defense genius who didn't merely defend clients—he solved crimes Perry Mason-style. Even after the series ended, Matlock lived on in TV movies.
TRIVIA: Matlock is purportedly based on the practice of famed Georgia trial lawyer Bobby Lee Cook.
I AM COMING SOON A4 POSTER
Law & Order (1990- 2010)
Law & Order matches the legendary Gunsmoke as the longest-running TV drama series ever. Producer Dick Wolf is said to have conceived the show's format—first half, investigation and arrest; second, trial and verdict—after watching tapes of a British show while working as a writer on the 1980s hit Miami Vice. The show is legendary for its twisted takes on real-life legal issues, its popular (and not so popular) spinoffs, and an ensemble cast that is consistently one of the hardest-working in TV.
TRIVIA: S. Epatha Merkerson (Lt. Anita Van Buren) is the show's longest-running cast member, appearing in 368 episodes—three more seasons and 23 more episodes than Sam Waterston (Jack McCoy)
Ally McBeal (1997-2002)
This David Kelley invention had no pretensions to be a vehicle for legal issues. Built around an old romance (Ally's ex-boyfriend, now married, is a partner at Cage Fish, the firm where she worked), the show was a slapstick soap opera whose law office served as a setting for anorexic fashion, sex-driven dialogue and permutating relationships.
TRIVIA: Calista Flockhart's character was so popular and so unlike the Type-A women who appeared as lawyers in other shows that she was featured on a Time magazine cover in June 1998 with the headline "Is Feminism Dead?"
What are you waiting for? Go and watch these TV Series.
Also, do you know any other good 90's legal TV series? Then mention it in the comment below.

Paul Hyland ready for York Hall bout
BN Staff
Paul Hyland tells Lee Gormley he's building towards a British title shot
BELFAST lightweight Paul Hyland Jr has been handed a golden opportunity to showcase his talents on the inaugural Matchroom 'Nextgen' format at York Hall on March 17.
In front of the Sky Sports cameras the Irish prospect is relishing the chance to perform on a huge new platform on St Patrick's Day, as he takes on Hartlepool's Peter Cope.
This brand new concept from Eddie Hearn's promotional stable sees boxing prospects awarded the opportunity to gain valuable experience and strut their stuff in front of fans before moving up to the grander cards and events.
One such rising star is Hyland Jr, who will feature alongside the likes of other promising fighters Jack Ball, Felix Cash and Isaac Chamberlain on the 'Nextgen' event, headlined by Reece Belotti's British featherweight title eliminator against Dai Davies.
"I'm very excited and thankful for the opportunity. It's a brilliant day to fight on and when Mark [Dunlop] phoned me up with the news I was buzzing for it," outlined the Belfast-born puncher.
"It's my first fight on Sky Sports, and I'm happy that I'm going to get to showcase my boxing to a large viewing of people."
This innovative new series from Matchroom will be broadcast live on Sky Sports 1 and their Facebook page during March 17.
With such wide exposure on offer for the hopeful prospects involved, 'Hylo' is relishing his chance to grab the attention of promoters on what he believes is a great concept.
"I think it's a brilliant opportunity for me and other boxers coming up to showcase our talent to top promotors," he continued.
"Hopefully I can achieve some more good news off this performance. I'm feeling good and looking forward to the fight now."
Since bursting on to the professional scene in May 2014, Hyland Jr has become one of Ireland's busiest fighters, competing five times in 2015 and adding a further four wins last year.
The Irishman has been tipped to go all the way to the top by manager Mark Dunlop and, having been involved in entertaining bouts so far in his 14-fight professional career, he's confident of proving his worth next time out.
"Same as every fight, I am always confident in myself. I put in a good hard training camp, my dad and other coach Michael push me hard every step," stated Hyland Jr.
"Plus all the hard sparring, it's then just down to me to go out and put it all together on the night and make sure I get that win which I believe and am confident I will."
In light of impressive previous performances, the Belfast brawler is beginning to make an impact and a British lightweight title shot is within his sights after rising up the 135lbs rankings.
"Yes I know this guy I'm fighting is a tough boxer and will bring out the best in my performance. I feel I'm ready to step into that challenge for the British title.
"It's what I want and I know as long as I put in a good hard camp I don't care who it is in front of me. I believe in my ability that I will win that belt soon."
March 17 brings an even deeper significance for Hyland Jr too, with fight night taking place on St Patrick's Day. Irish fight fans will be tuning in in their masses to witness Michael Conlan's debut in the paid ranks at New York City's Madison Square Garden later that night.
But Hyland Jr can provide them with plenty of action beforehand as well at the world famous York Hall in London.
The popular lightweight has built up a huge fan base in his native Belfast through his exciting style and he's looking forward to putting on another strong showing for those supporting him.
"St Paddy's Day is a great event back home, everyone is always buzzing and now that I'm fighting on that day all I've been hearing is people saying about how good it's going to be watching me fight that night on Sky Sports," declared 'Hylo'.
"I'm really happy about that support. I also have a good load of friends traveling over to watch me fight in London and I'm very thankful for them all coming over to support me and get behind me. It always gives you that extra boost in the ring."
The undefeated 26-year-old will face off against Cope in the English capital for the inaugural 'Nextgen' event.
Hartlepool-born southpaw Cope will enter proceedings on the back of three recent straight victories and will see this as a great chance himself, but Hyland Jr is confident of dealing with anything thrown at him on March 17.
"I respect him the same way I do every fighter in there to do a job same as me. He's coming to win same as me, it's a great match-up so I'm expecting it to be a brilliant fight," added the unbeaten Irishman.
"I know he's a tough guy but I can box and I can fight and I'm confident that I will do whatever suits me best to get the win."

Usher and Season 12 winner Chris Blue also sang in honor of the victims of the tragic attack.
It was an emotional evening during "The Voice" Season 12 finale on Tuesday as stars like Miley Cyrus and Usher dedicated their performances to their friend Ariana Grande and all the victims of Monday's Manchester Arena tragedy.
"Our hearts are with you," she said.
Former "Voice" coach Usher also performed a song for Manchester with winner Chris Blue. The pair sang a stirring rendition of R.E.M.'s "Everybody Hurts," bringing audience members to their feet.
The music community is reeling following the terror explosion at Grande's Manchester show, which killed 22 people and injured 59.
Artists took to Twitter this week to share support for the "Love Me Harder" singer, who posted a statement herself on the social media site.

Back to the drawing board to save water
26 March 2018 Photo Pixabay
We've managed to damage nature's 'filter' with air, ocean, and soil pollution, and by destroying wetlands.
Dr Cindé Greyling, a University of the Free State (UFS) DiMTEC (Disaster Management Training and Education Centre for Africa) alumni, studied drought mitigation with a strong focus on communicating important water-saving information.
Can we run out of water?
Yes, and no, says Dr Greyling. "To our knowledge, water is not 'leaking' through our atmosphere. We have what we have, but that doesn't mean we will have enough clean, fresh water forever. Nature has a magnificent way of purifying water through the water cycle. We, on the other hand, must use a lot of money and energy to purify water. Also, we've managed to damage nature's 'filter' with air, ocean, and soil pollution, and by destroying wetlands. The other problem is a simple supply and demand scenario. More people will need more water, but not only that, population growth calls for industry development and increased food supplies – all of which require more water."
A war over water
Besides some Hollywood impressions, it is difficult to imagine a war over water, but it is possible. "Some experts are convinced that we are heading there, and others claim that such tensions already exist. Personally, I don't favour these kinds of shock tactics (or truths) – social research has shown us that it rarely leads to behavioural changes. We can learn a lot from what was has been done in Cape Town. Although we all think people were bombarded with 'Day-Zero'-scares, they were actually encouraged to adapt their behaviour with a communication campaign that hardly ever used the term 'Day-Zero'. This approach mobilised citizens to reach record lows of water usage."
Adapt a new normal
Dr Greyling encourages the "new normal" set in motion by Capetonians. "Water consciousness is needed, even when the rain comes again. We've taken water for granted for too long. As consumers, we have the power to turn this situation around – drop for drop. Be aware about the amount of water you use, how you use it, and for what. Keep in mind that any wastage and pollution (of 'dry' things) also wastes and pollutes water. Generally, we need to behave better regarding consumption."
UFS celebrates multi-campus system
Qwaqwa Campus, Bloemfontein Campus, South Campus

The University of the Free State is celebrating 10 years of the multi-campus system this year.
Uniqwa – as it was known when it was still part of the University of the North, was incorporated into the UFS in 2003, becoming the Qwaqwa Campus.
Following shortly on this event, a satellite campus of the Vista University also became part of the UFS family and was renamed to the South Campus.
The multi-campus system enables the UFS to offer a comprehensive choice of study programmes. "Our multi-campus system offers greater access to higher education with the Qwaqwa Campus offering tuition in the faculties of the Humanities, Education, Economic and Management Sciences as well as Natural and Agricultural Sciences," says Dr Choice Makhetha, Vice-Rector: External Affairs.
"On the other hand," Dr Makhetha continues,"the South Campus strategically covers learners let down by the South African school system by offering them extended programmes that would ultimately help them enter the mainstream programmes successfully."
The formal festivities on the Qwaqwa Campus will kick off on Friday 7 June 2013.

Success! Yon from Cambodia raised $229 to fund cataract surgery so she can be more independent.
$229 raised, $0 to go
Yon's treatment was fully funded on October 30, 2021.
Yon's story
Yon's update
Yon underwent cataract surgery so she can be more independent.
Yon and her daughter traveled 3 1/2 hours to have cataract surgery at our medical partner CSC. The joy Yon felt with her new sight was beyond words. Having lived with poor vision, she was delighted to recognize the faces of her family so soon after the surgery.
Her daughter said: "I am so happy my mother's eyesight has improved. She will be able to visit her neighbors and be more independent. It is a relief that I don't have to worry about her going blind."
Yon and her daughter traveled 3 1/2 hours to have cataract surgery at our medical partner CSC. The joy Yon felt with her new sight was beyon...
Yon is a mother of three from Cambodia. Her husband had died during the Khmer Rouge regime, so she now lives with her eldest daughter who is a rice farmer. Yon enjoys listening to the monks pray on the radio and visiting the pagoda.
Four years ago, Yon developed a cataract in her right eye, causing her blurry vision, tearing, and photophobia. She has difficulty seeing things clearly, recognizing faces, and going anywhere outside.
When Yon learned about our medical partner, Children's Surgical Centre, she traveled for two hours with her daughter seeking treatment. On June 17th, doctors will perform a phacoemulsification cataract surgery in her right eye. After recovery, she will be able to see clearly. Now, she needs help to fund this $229 procedure.
Yon shares, "After surgery I hope I am comfortable and can see clearly so I can go places on my own and take care of my grandchildren."

Hospital Fees
Impact on patient's life
Cultural or regional significance
What kinds of symptoms do patients experience before receiving treatment?
Patients with cataracts experience decreased vision, discomfort, and irritation. Cataracts occur when the lens inside the eye becomes cloudy, causing functional blindness. These changes in the lens commonly occur with increasing age and therefore affect elderly people. Cataracts can also be congenital or traumatic.
What is the impact on patients' lives of living with these conditions?
The decreased vision from cataracts can cause functional blindness. This makes it difficult for the patient to conduct daily activities. Patients often need a family member to help guide and care for them. If the patient is elderly, this often affects a young child in the family. When a grandmother needs help getting around, a young child is often assigned to help with her daily tasks. That child cannot go to school.
What cultural or regional factors affect the treatment of these conditions?
In many countries in the developing world, surgical services are inadequate. Cataracts remain the leading cause of blindness globally. Even where surgical services are available, barriers to surgery remain, including cost, shortage of human resources, poor infrastructure, and limited awareness about access to available services.
Risks and side-effects
What does the treatment process look like?
Cataract surgery is the most common surgery performed worldwide. Surgeons remove the cloudy lens and place a clear lens implant in its place.
What is the impact of this treatment on the patient's life?
A patient's vision can improve to 20/20 within one day after the surgery.
What potential side effects or risks come with this treatment?
Cataract surgery is highly effective and carries a low risk.
How accessible is treatment in the area? What is the typical journey like for a patient to receive care?
Cataract surgery is available in most areas of Cambodia. However, free surgery is not as widely available.
What are the alternatives to this treatment?
Some debilitating effects of cataracts can be improved with glasses. When the cataract becomes mature, however, the only definitive treatment is surgical.

Dafroza is a mother of 7 and a small-scale farmer. Her husband passed away in May 2019 and left her a three-room mud house for shelter. Her eldest is 30 years old and her youngest is in the seventh grade. Over 20 years ago, Dafroza began to experience troubling symptoms, including a small painless neck swelling. It gradually started increasing in size and she decided to use herbs but they did not help. She shared that did not bother seeking medical attention because she knew it was too expensive. Currently, she loses her voice whenever she talks or sings for a long time, she can no longer eat comfortably, and has trouble breathing while farming and sleeping. She came to our medical partner's care center Rushoroza Hospital for a review by the doctor. She was diagnosed with a non-toxic goiter and the doctor advised her to have surgery for which she is seeking financial support. Our medical partner, African Mission Healthcare, is helping Dafroza receive treatment. She is scheduled to undergo a thyroidectomy on January 7th at our medical partner's care center. Surgeons will remove all or part of her thyroid gland. This procedure will cost $333, and she and her family need help raising money. Dafroza says, "I heard the news from a friend who had the same treatment from Rushoroza Hospital and is doing well and looking good currently. I pray that I may also be like my friend through surgery. I will be able to keep farming as soon as I get better."

Leang is a 72-year-old bicycle repairman. He has two sons, two daughters, and seven grandchildren. He and his wife live with one of their daughters who works as a food seller in the local market. Unfortunately, Leang no longer repairs bicycles, due to his poor vision. Instead, he likes to listen to the news and funny stories on television. Several years ago, Leang developed a cataract in his left eye, causing him blurry vision and sensitivity to light. He has difficulty seeing things clearly, recognizing faces, and going anywhere outside. When Leang learned about our medical partner, Children's Surgical Centre, he traveled there hoping for treatment. On December 14th, doctors will perform small incision cataract surgery and an intraocular lens implant in his left eye. After recovery, he will be able to see clearly. Now, he needs help to fund this $229 procedure. Leang shared, "I hope after my operation, I will be able to see the TV instead of just listening. I want to help my wife around the house, and play with my grandchildren."

Sokchea is a 20-year-old factory worker. He lives with his parents, who work as farmers, and an older sister, who works in a clothes factory. Sokchea can no longer work due to an injury and stays home to help his mother in the house. In his free time, Sokchea enjoys playing games on his phone. In August, Sokchea was in a motorcycle-car crash and fractured several bones in his left foot. He went to a local hospital, where he received pins to heal his fracture. However, the site has become badly infected, and the bone is exposed. As a result, Sokchea is experiencing intense pain and cannot walk. When Sokchea learned about our medical partner, Children's Surgical Centre (CSC), he traveled for three hours seeking treatment. On December 15th, surgeons at CSC will perform a debridement procedure to clean up the necrotic skin and allow surgeons to apply a skin graft in the future. CSC is requesting $273 to fund his procedure. Sokchea shared, "I hope that after this surgery I will be able to walk again and can go back to work."

I keep this primitive kit with me in my vehicle all the time. In this video I spontaneously dump it out because I was inspired by my hand drill friction fire on this day to go through my kit. It has been 8 long months since my right hand was seriously injured and I've been unable to to any primitive skills. I was successful with the hand drill which was nice but I did pay the price with a big blister just below my scar. In my primitive kit I have everything from deer bones to sinew, pine pitch to natural cordage willow bark. I show how I processed my deer hide and sinew and also how I spall my obsidian for use in making primitive arrows. All these items are great for survival, bushcrafting and self reliance. It is great to learn the skills of our ancestors.

Bungie's Marcus Lehto was grinning like a proud papa when we had a chance to chat with him during X10. The Halo: Reach creative director had been demoing his baby continually for around eight hours, but seemed excited just to be able to tell us more about the studio's final Halo game, his presentation of which had totally wowed us earlier in the day. We reached out, shook his hand, said Halo (okay, not really) and got cracking with our questions.
Joystiq: As a game that is intended to cap off Bungie's work on the Halo series, how do you end a story by going back to the beginning?
Marcus Lehto: What we wanted to do is kind of bring everything full circle. Going back -- to a prequel -- to delve into the stories of the Spartans on planet Reach and to tell their stories; What they did, what they did that transpired and led to the events of Halo 1, was such a cool thing for us to tackle. That's the thing that really got us excited about [Halo: Reach]. We came up with an amazing story tell tell.
For us, like I said, it does literally bring things full circle for us because we're doing things in Reach -- and telling this story -- that really help us encapsulate the entire series and make sense of everything.
And it's a special treat that it happens to be -- by far -- the best-looking game in the series?
(laughs) Well, with every title, they of course get better-looking.
Yeah, the characters from Halo 1 all the way to Reach? Yeah, absolutely.
Why not just "Halo 4"? Why not end it with telling us what happens to the Master Chief?
To us, when we looked at that issue, Halo 4 wasn't as much as a stand-alone type game. When we really started asking the questions about where we would take that story, there was too much to it. There's too much to add to a single "one off" game. What we got a lot more interested in, then, as a result, was going back to the time just before the Master Chief and Cortana. To the time on the planet Reach, where -- at that point -- now we have this encapsulated, really cool and very rich story that we could tell.
Is that going to be a component of Halo: Reach?
Can't confirm, nor deny that one! I can say that we do take pretty great pride in what we did with Firefight and, well, we've never been known to leave great features behind.
Bungie seems to be okay with the idea of other studios being involved with Halo games (Ensemble Studios developed Halo Wars), but would you be resistant to the idea of another studio creating a game that stars Master Chief?
Well, when we were purchased by Microsoft we sold the rights to the Halo franchise.
We don't own it. While we have a great relationship with Microsoft -- we've worked with them as a preferred developer of the Halo franchise since we created it, starting back in 1997 -- Microsoft is free to do whatever they want with the franchise. So, we can only hope that whatever comes after we're done with Reach continues to uphold the greatness of this universe.
If it was something I created, I wouldn't want to see it go "off the tracks."
It's hard. It's our baby that we created but it is definitely taking on a life of its own.
Any ideas how Halo: Reach will interact with Halo Waypoint, as of now?
I can't speak to that, actually. I'm sorry. That's all on Microsoft's side of things. But that is a good question.
You're here showing Reach -- and you've got work to do on it and you're very deeply involved in the game -- but Bungie has been known and associated with Halo for so long. Are the gears in motion to do something new, something as iconic as Halo?
Sure, yeah. Before Halo we had the Myth series, the Marathon series. We put a lot of years into those franchises and we did some really amazing things with them. So, we're super excited to delve into a brand new franchise, coming up next.
Are you open to any genre at this point?
Well we have done RTSs [real-time strategy], FPSs [first-person shooters]. We've done third-person fighting games like Oni. So, I mean, we've definitely got experience with a number of different styles of games and we're really excited about what we're doing next.
[The cinematics] are going to be a generational leap forward, with what we've done.
Is it a matter of just approaching it differently? Bringing on new people? The jump there does seem substantial.
But in a lot of ways you think, "Wow, this is the same console that Halo 3 was on?"
Yeah. It's the same hardware! It's not getting any better on that side of things, so we have to improve what we're doing with the code and our engine. In regards to the cinematics and the way our characters are performing, that was something I really insisted upon.
When we went in on this project, I said "Listen, guys, we've done a really good job with gameplay. What I don't think we've done a great job with in the past is animation and the way our characters perform in cinematics." I said, "I think it's time for us to take a very hard look at a clean slate approach."
So we did. We actually, nearly gutted the entire animation system and rebuilt it up in order to accommodate some of that vision. And it required me standing over the shoulders saying, "Hey, no. That's not good enough. We have to keep moving it forward."
Did you get some motion-capture of you doing a whipping motion?
(laughs) No. I should have!
Halo is a huge multiplayer phenomenon, but you guys also have to be keeping up with what everyone else is doing out there. Are you going to basically stick to what has really worked and not mess with it too much on the multiplayer side?
I think it's fair to say that we're taking some pretty big risks on Reach.
While we'll still have all of the good stuff that players have come to know and love about Halo, we've made that better and given them new features on top of that. We are really doing some other things. New gameplay features to multiplayer that... Well, yeah. Right now waiting for the beta, coming up on [May 3] to see what the fan's reaction is to some of this is.
Some of that will be revealed during the beta?
And Halo 3: ODST is the only way to get the beta?
There are no plans at the moment to have contests or giveaway codes?
ODST is the way in.

Okay, so now I've got your attention - it's true - the cabinet construction was completed in 24 hours, but it took about three months to get around to the last few bits (like decorating the unit), so don't complain if after one day you don't get something that looks like the unit on the left!
Please browse through the links at the top and bottom of each page. They will cover the construction diary (in blow-by-blow detail), the finishing of the unit together with a shopping list, prices and then information on the PC inside the unit. Finally you will be able to download some plans we created after building the device, together with some of the graphics that are on the unit.

Amazing Songs I Discovered In My Country Music Class
January 8, 2020 Music, university
As you guys know I really enjoyed my country music course that I took and some time ago I wrote a post about my favourite musicians. I decided to also write a post which specifically was about the songs I truly enjoyed and some information about the song and why I loved it so much.
The Carter Family- No Depression
As you may know from my previous post The Carter Family is country music royalty and No Depression at least to me is one of the most beautiful, raw and real songs I have ever heard not only in country but in music in general. It was released during the Great Depression and I think it did a great job in describing what life in the 1930's was like in the South for the working class.
Dixie Chicks-
After the 2003 incident The Dixie Chicks received an insane amount of hate even though they were just expressing their opinion and practicing their right to freedom of speech. This song was released to address this and to express their side of everything. I love that they refused to apologise and stayed strong.
Kitty Wells- It Wasn't God Who Made Honky Tonk Angels
This song was among the first response songs ever written in country music. It was a time when honky tonks were popular and many men got drunk in these honky tonks and cheated on their wives. However, instead of taking responsibility for their actions the men often blamed the women at honky tonks who were referred to as honky tonk angels. Hank Williams song Wild Side Of Life in particular did this to which this song by Wells' was released as a response.
Dolly Parton- 9 to 5
I mean it's Dolly Parton of course she had to be on this list! This song in particular is such a perfect description of what blue collar work feels like for the proletariat that I was just obsessed with it. Of course, it helps that it's also super catchy and fun to listen to!
Johnny Cash- Folsom Prison Blues
I love Johnny Cash and this song is probably one of my favourite songs by him. I think it's amazing how much time he spent trying to reform prisons and that he even performed in prisons.
Let me know in the comments if you would be interested in reading a post will the full list of country songs I learnt in my class!

I live in Tennessee which is pretty much the birthplace of Country music it is a important part of the culture and storytelling of a people. If you listen to classic country the tunes and artists you have mentioned you get what it's all about. Country and blues are cousins in a way and both share the story of people who have experienced hard times and heart ache.
Yeah and the blues have been a huge influence for what eventually became country music and that's what I think of as real country music- music about struggles, heartache and hard work. It's sad that mainstream country that we hear today is losing that.
And Dolly.
Of course she's a classic!
Joshua Shea
What a great entry. I don't think there's another genre of music that has gone downhill nearly like country music in the last 25 years. The amazing sounds that came out of the early folk music of places like the Ozarks that morphed into country at the same time that rock was just starting to evolve out of the blues and other folk music of the deep south are among the best both genres can offer. You mentioned some greats, but toss in folks like Patsy Cline, Roger Miller, Marty Robbins, Loretta Lynn and others from that early 50s to late 70s era and you're talking one of the best 30 year stretches of music. Thanks for sharing!
I agree country music has really gone downhill at least mainstream country. I've found alt.country is much more true to the country music roots but mainstream has just taken a horrible direction.
Fitzy
I was brought up on country music, it was my dad's passion. I can't remember some of the artists but he loved Dolly Parton, Crystal Gayle, Johnny Cash, John Denver, Patsy Cline, Boxcar Willie to name a few.
On a tour of USA in 2016 I made a point of visiting Nashville and the Grand Ole Opry in honour of my dad. We played Country Roads at his funeral. Thank you for bringing back some memories
Thank you I'm glad you enjoyed the post! I would love to visit the Grande Ole Opry someday.
You should, it was awesome having a tour of the place. I even got to stand in the circle and pretend to sing haha
Wow that's so cool I definitely go there!!

Very perfect post, I too also written a detail post on "Benefits of music" in UC MEDIA.
I didn't know existed a course just for country music ahahah crazy!
Yup it's crazy and awesome!
Opher
Great stuff Pooj. Sounds like a brilliant course!!
tianiangelahibbert
I just love how open and diverse you are!
Thank you I try my best!
I liked the movie, "Walk the Line," about Johnny Cash and June Carter. The best scene, to my way of thinking, is when Cash sings Folsom Prison to the record producer. He "becomes" Johnny Cash and just the expression on the producer's face shows that he realizes Cash has a special gift.
I really want to watch that movie I'm sure it's amazing!
best actress Oscar for Reese Witherspoon as June Carter
The Newbury Girl
ah there are so many classics on this list. I feel like Country music gets a bad rap in North America, but I love the storytelling that goes behind many country songs. Johnny Cash was an incredibly talented man and Dolly Parton doesn't get as much recognition as she should have for being a pioneering female musician in her time.
Yeah country music does get a bad rap but I guess if you listen to just mainstream country it does kind of suck and revolve around trucks, girls and beer but old school country like the people you mentioned as well as alt.country is actually really good!
lol I chuckled when I got to "trucks, girls, and beer" 😂😂😂
Lol that's literally how my professor with a doctorate described it 😂

Oh!! You got to love some good old country music. I absolutely adore Johnny Cash and his voice is so unique! I hoped he would be in this post the moment I saw the title.
Old school country is so amazing and I love Johnny Cash!
llbenjamin54
I love the older country music, from Doc Williams and the Carters through Johnny Cash, Dolly Parton, Emmy Lou Harris, Willie Nelson and that bunch! But I also loved the funny songs about life in general that country music had and rock never quite got the hang of. Like the one that goes "I was drunk the day my mom got out of prison." Roger Miller had a lot of them, Loretta Lynn had a memorable one in which her husband was begging her to come back home and she wasn't interested. There were so many back then. One course couldn't cover everything but I bet it was never boring!
Ooh those songs sound interesting I'll definitely check them out. I love how old school country had a story behind it even if it was a funny playful one. The class was the farthest from boring!
Marilyn Unmasked
Super post. First got into country with Crystal Gayle and was fortunate to see her in concert. Love 'I'll Walk the Line', 'Deck of Cards', 'Crazy'. But am now very much into so-called contemporary country – Reba McIntyre, Pam Tillis, Carlene Carter, Sweethearts of the Rodeo. And of course my absolute favourite k.d. Lang who I saw last year. Glad you're enjoying your courses.
Wow you are so lucky to have seen such amazing concerts! I love K.D Lang!
Dolly Parton – 9 to 5! My favorite!
Pooja, hi – it may have been mentioned on your course but did you know that kd lang was a backing singer for Roy Orbison? If not, check out when they sang 'Crying'. Awesome. When I'm low the best medicine is watching kd singing Hallelujah at the Canadian Olympics Opening Ceremony. Absolutely can't better it. Have a super day.
Thanks for that information I will definitely check that out!!
Angelilie
I really like your blog. A pleasure to come stroll on your pages. A great discovery and very interesting blog. I'll come back to visit you. Do not hesitate to visit my universe. See you soon.

Oh my goodness, I don't recall the last time I heard Dixie Chicks' Not Ready to Make Nice! I remember I would play this song on repeat during my angst-filled teenage years, haha! Thanks for the trip down memory lane.
I've only started listening to it recently but I can totally see why it would be appealing as a teenager!
Still appealing now, to be honest. Not the songs sentiment, just the memories which are funny now 😅
Totally the memories make it even better!
Corkywk
I was happily amazed that a Country Music course was available at a University. As a once lead singer of my own touring country band (way back in the 80's) it was nice to hear that the old songs from my past are still up for study. If you haven't seen it yet may I suggest you see the latest Ken Burns (6 part?) documentary series "The History of Country Music." I highly recommend it for those with interest.
If you want a more personal perspective from someone who has actually made a living touring with his own country band you could check out my experiences in an ongoing series on my blog called "Tales of a Road Band!" Either way, I enjoyed your post and am pleased that you found some new old-songs to enjoy, particularly since those are the songs that I grew up with. Keep posting about Country music and I'll a'keep on reading them!
P.S. — Yes, I'd enjoy swapping favorite songs with you on a future post.

The opening of Enviroserve's new electronic scrap recycling plant, 'The Recycling Hub', signifies a major shift in WEEE recycling in the UAE. The company's advanced facility, based in one of the key business centres – Dubai Industrial Park, was officially launched on March 20, 2019. Stuart Fleming, Co- Founder and Group CEO, Enviroserve speaks to Swaliha Shanavas about the company's sustainable business model and how the modern facility will change the game in the Middle East's WEEE sector.
UAE and the wider Middle East, Africa and Caucasus region," he says. The Recycling Hub, touted as the largest integrated electronic and specialised waste recycling facility in the world, houses four recycling divisions that are critical to the industry – WEEE (Waste Electrical and Electronic Equipment); ITAD (IT Asset Disposition); Specialised Waste (brand protection); Refrigerant Gas Recovery and Reclaim.
The new plant, which is spread over 280,000 sq. ft., will offer endto- end recycling services and has a processing capability of 100,000 tonnes of total integrated waste per annum, which includes 39,000 tonnes of e-scrap. "WEEE finally has a place that can process the materials from start to finish," the CEO states.
The facility, which features stateof-the-art Swiss technology, can process the entire range of WEEE from consumer and industrial to commercial and military. These include air conditioners, batteries, computers, household appliances, mobile phones, and even military avionics, to name a few.
"The Recycling Hub offers a unique opportunity for clients to track their materials from collection, through processing, to recycling and, where appropriate, Refuse Derived Fuel (RDF) ensuring maximum recovery rates and minimising environmental impact," he elaborates.
The recycling facility's fully automated mechanical separation process is chemical-free with industrial air filtration, allowing for a 96% recovery rate with zero air and liquid emissions. "To put things into perspective, this means 38,000,000 kg of e-scrap will be kept out landfills each year," says Fleming.
Another innovative aspect that also contributes to sustainability is that the integrated facility processes specialised scrap material such as aerosol cans, textiles and FMCG products, and "is the only dedicated refrigerant gas reclaim facility in the UAE." It also handles toner cartridges, said to be the first in the MEA region.
The Dh120 million project is backed by the Swiss Government Export Finance Agency and represents one of the largest foreign direct investments in the field of environmental management to date in the UAE. Enviroserve's green recycling facility will service international e-scrap recycling efforts across Africa, Middle East and Caucasus.
What sets Enviroserve apart from other companies in the specific area of WEEE recycling is the fact that "there is nothing like The Recycling Hub in the Middle East and Africa in terms of size, capacity, and sophistication. It is truly a game-changer and many multinational companies have been eagerly awaiting the launch," the CEO highlights. The company can process the e-scrap from customer to refinery, "which is unique in this region and one of only a handful in the world." In his view, a vast majority of companies in the Middle East are collectors, segregators, basic processors, or a combination of these, meaning that materials are changing hands several times in the process. "Enviroserve can compete cost-effectively by offering a fully-automated, one-stop-shop solution for residential, commercial, and industrial clients," he adds.
Again, they are fully operational throughout Middle East, Africa and Caucasus, "which has been a major pain point for multinationals due to lack of professional recycling infrastructure in the region. Enviroserve has created the solution to this problem," he explains.
So, what are the awareness levels and recovery rates in the Middle East and Africa with regard to WEEE? And will the supply match available capacity to ensure the viability of the project in the long run? Fleming opines that awareness has certainly increased over the last decade as to the dangers of WEEE and both local and international organisations are taking steps to control and manage this hazardous waste. "Our mission is to 'Clean up Africa' and it is a big part of our philosophy," the CEO highlights. Exact recovery rates are currently unknown as it is not specifically tracked. "However, the governments of Dubai and Abu Dhabi have taken steps, recently, to fill in this information gap by working with organisations like Enviroserve through their respective e-manifest systems," he comments.
The launch event was attended by Sheikh Mohammed bin Nahyan bin Mubarak Al Nahyan; H.E. Engineer Saif Mohamed AlShara, Assistant Undersecretary for the Sustainable Communities Sector at MOCCAE; Abdulla Belhoul, Chief Commercial Officer of TECOM Group; and Saud Abu Al-Shawareb, Managing Director of Dubai Industrial Park, among others.
As per current estimates, the UAE generates over 100,000 tons of e-scrap per annum. Capture rates are not 100 percent. In fact, 30-60 percent is the typical rate, meaning that there is more than enough e-scrap in the UAE to keep The Recycling Hub busy, says Fleming, also adding that with Enviroserve facilities throughout Middle East, Africa and Caucasus, the company is an importer of e-scrap as well.
"Over the years, we have proudly served the UAE market, but with the launch of The Recycling Hub we have attracted multinationals who are seeking secure end-to-end solutions in a challenging region. One shining example is our recent partnership with Nespresso where we are supporting their Closing the Loop sustainability initiative," he underlines.
The company, which has already started processing e-scrap for its partner EPSON, also announced during the launch event, a regional partnership with Lenovo to recycle and refurbish the latter's electronic products.
Enviroserve, which started as a small home-grown company, has over the years evolved into a leading e-scrap recycling solutions provider in the region.
The introduction of this innovative facility comes at a time when every year, some 50 million tonnes of electronic and electrical scrap is produced globally, of which only 20 percent is formally recycled. According to a UN-sponsored project finding, the average UAE resident generates 17.2 kilograms of e-scrap every year, most of which contains harmful toxins, such as arsenic, cadmium and mercury.
"The new facility is the outcome of Enviroserve's pioneering 15-year journey in the e-scrap industry and we look forward to elevating the sustainability movement in the region," the CEO concludes.

New agricultural engineering faculty will advance research, technology
UNIVERSITY PARK, Pa. -- Two new faculty members in Penn State's Department of Agricultural and Biological Engineering will advance research and academics in agricultural engineering and technologies.
The addition of Daeun Choi and Long He fulfills a priority of the department to strengthen research that supports mechatronics, robotics, automation, precision agriculture and unmanned aerial vehicles, according to Paul Heinemann, professor and head of the department, which is administered jointly by the College of Agricultural Sciences and the College of Engineering.
"We are excited to have Drs. Choi and He lead research and academics in these innovative technologies, and we are confident their knowledge and expertise will drive technological advances for the benefit of the agricultural sector and beyond," he said.
Distinguished Professor Karen Thole, head of the Department of Mechanical and Nuclear Engineering, shared Heinemann's enthusiasm.
"The opportunities in the fields of mechatronics and automation are immense right now and well into the foreseeable future," she said. "The hiring of these two excellent faculty in agricultural and biological engineering will lead to a number of opportunities for our students and faculty to collaborate in mechanical and nuclear engineering and across the institution."
Choi earned undergraduate degrees in bio-mechatronic engineering and economics from Sungkyunkwan University in South Korea. She received master's and doctoral degrees in agricultural and biological engineering from the University of Florida.
During her graduate studies, she developed several intelligent vision sensing systems to forecast citrus yield in individual trees, to detect excessive fruit drops for early warning of diseases and malnutrition, and to quickly diagnose common citrus diseases of individual citrus in the post-harvest process.
Choi's research at Penn State will focus on developing agricultural robotics and intelligent sensing systems for Pennsylvania specialty crops, especially tree fruit and mushrooms. Her other research interests involve precision agriculture, farm automation and autonomous vehicle applications in agriculture.
She has published eight articles in top-tier journals and conference proceedings, and she has presented her research at numerous international and national conferences. In addition, her research in developing practical solutions to the most destructive citrus disease in history -- citrus greening -- was reported in national and international newspapers.
One of her goals is to develop a course for precision agriculture and agricultural robotics that will give students hands-on experience in emerging precision agriculture technologies such as drone and smart crop sensors.
Long He received a bachelor's degree in mechanical engineering and a doctorate in mechatronics engineering from Yanshan University in China. He served as a postdoctoral research associate and research engineer at Washington State University and as a postdoctoral scholar at the University of California, Davis.
His research interests and expertise are in agricultural machinery and automation, mechanization in specialty crop production, and fluid power (hydraulic and pneumatic) transmission and control.
A holder of two patents stemming from his work, He developed a robotic high-trellis hop twining system, a mechanical targeted fresh market apple harvesting system, and a robotic bin handling system for apple harvesting. He has published more than 15 journal papers and presented at several international meetings.
In addition to mentoring graduate students and scholars and building relationships within the University, He will conduct research on mechanization in specialty-crop production to help Pennsylvania's growers. His home base will be Penn State's Fruit Research and Extension Center in Biglerville.
According to Heinemann, Choi and He will work closely with the state's growers to develop automation and artificial intelligence technologies aimed at providing practical solutions for labor shortages and safety issues.
An industry professional eager to work with the duo is Bruce Hollabaugh of Hollabaugh Bros. Inc., a 500-acre, family-owned-and-operated, fruit and vegetable farm and direct marketing operation in Biglerville. Hollabaugh also serves as chairman of the research committee for the State Horticultural Association of Pennsylvania, an organization that supports research for the betterment of the industry.
"There is a significant movement in the industry for increased uniformity in production, and how the use of robotic technology can increase efficiency and add value to crops and operations," he said. "We are appreciative of College of Agricultural Sciences Dean Rick Roush and Dr. Heinemann for providing us with not just one, but two individuals that are fantastic and have a complementary skill set. Penn State is positioning itself to make a significant impact in our industry -- with these two new faculty on board, we can explore new technologies in a way we've never done before."

"My husband and I moved onto Jellico avenue in 1977, so this is our 32nd Christmas here," Cheryl says. "When we moved in, there was the energy crunch, and the utilities were encouraging people to conserve, but we had babies, and we wanted to put lights up. It was a mature neighborhood when we moved in, with homes with the original owner, or homes with just one owner that were fifty years old and over, so they had the lights, but they had just gotten out of the habit of putting them up. And then another family moved in with a youngster, and they put lights up, and the next Christmas a few more who had older kids -- they had the lights, and it just kind of grew. And so it really started on Jellico Avenue, where we had houses in a row doing it.
Cheryl says that the annual light show has created a very close-knit community. "It has had such a bonding effect for the whole area, because now over the last ten years, in the square between White Oak and Louise, and San Fernando Mission and Index, we have an annual street party. People bring Toys for Tots, the Fire Department comes and brings a truck and lets the kids climb all over it and take the kids on a ride." The neighborhood parties, which rotate from street to street annually, traditionally take place after the Granada Hills Holiday Parade, which is also the neighborhood's official display turn-on date. "Everybody brings stuff, byob, potluck, and they have a moon bounce. And we put out the first flyer in November, and if anybody needs help, or anybody can help someone else who may be older or whatever put their lights up, they do. So there's a lot of participation that way."
When somebody new moves into the neighborhood, are they warned about what they're getting into? "Absolutely," Cheryl says. "The broker lets them know. But then again, some people want to move here because of all the participation, how fun it is. There's a regular parade of cars going through here."
Asked if there is a downside to the light display, with traffic or any other problems, Cheryl answers with an emphatic no. "It hasn't gotten to the point like that area near Pierce College, Candy Cane Lane. People park their cars, walk the street. Or people drive by, they get out, they take pictures of their kids in front of the Ferris wheel or in front of the other displays at the other houses. And we have carolers who come here, because people who decorate for Christmas are receptive to hearing Christmas carols. Bruce on Lahey, he had the American Flag on his house for a number of years after 9/11, and airplanes would fly over, helicopters would fly over, just to see that flag. That was a real treat for everybody."
Cheryl describes a scene that is quintessentially Granada Hillsian -- the town putting on its best, and certainly most well-lighted face. If we are in fact "The Valley's Most Neighborly Town," then it sounds like the Index/Mission/White Oak/Louise quadrant is the most neighborly town's neighborlyest neighborhood, and Jiminy Christmas, that's neighborlyness cubed.
"People on my street, Jellico, are very involved in the community," Cheryl says. "We consider Granada Hills a Mayberry. It's different from a lot of places -- it still has kind of a small-town feel. Here on Jellico Avenue, it's a very stable community with very little For Sale signs. People have been here a long time. The camaraderie of the neighborhood, a lot of that started because of the Christmas lights."
I really miss the house with the giant light up American flag over the garage. It's been MIA the past few years.
I was born in Granada Hills, I grew up in Granada Hills, and now I live here with my wife and daughter. It is truly a Mayberry, just like your blog says. However, I don't remember Floyd's Barber Shop having Korean writing..... just stating the obvious.
That sounds like something Otis would say.
My family and I live in the Knollwood area of GH for 11 years now and have visited the GH "Candy Cane" Lane each year. We absolutely love the small town feel GH has to offer in LA County.
I enjoy this area every year. We make it a point to do so. We are Jewish, and so this has never been a part of our traditions, but seeing the lights "Christmas lighting" as my dad used to call it, IS a tradition. We live close by, and love the beauty, and appreciate all the hard work the people do to make such a great place.


The pure bliss you experience the moment you get a positive pregnancy test is surely indescribable. After all, bringing a child into this world is a whole new phase in a woman's life, which means you can expect that significant changes are about to ensue.
You may find yourself overwhelmed by the dozens of things you must prepare before your child arrives. While this is so, getting ready for the big day shouldn't stress a mama out! With a little planning and organization ahead of time, you should be able to take on the challenge and, at the same time, enjoy the whole ride!
The first trimester, which is the first three months of your pregnancy, is a crucial time for you and your baby. Since this is the period when your baby grows and develops rapidly, it is important to take good care of yourself during such time and to not miss out on every prenatal consultation.
Once you've found a health-care provider that you trust, you should schedule an initial visit to confirm your pregnancy, which may be done through an ultrasound scan. During this test, an ultrasound probe is used to help your doctor get a clear picture of the baby inside your uterus. Your doctor will also prescribe prenatal vitamins that you should take to keep your baby healthy and to keep certain congenital conditions at bay.
The second trimester of your pregnancy may be the perfect time for you to set up your baby registry. This list contains the most essential things that your newborn needs, such as clothing, diapers, blankets, feeding essentials, and furniture such as a crib, changing table, and many more.
Organizing a baby registry helps you keep tabs on the things that you've already bought and those that you still lack. Your baby registry can also help friends and family to decide what to give as presents when you're preparing a baby shower. This way, you won't have too many of the same things and will ensure that every gift you receive will truly be utilized.
Before your little one arrives and rocks your world, celebrate your pregnancy as much as you can. Aside from the baby showers that your friends and family may be planning for you, you can organize a gender-reveal party too. An announcement event for your baby's gender will surely keep you and your spouse—and everyone else—thrilled and hyped up!
Look for cool and unique ideas that will make your gender reveal more fun and creative, such as printing unique invitation cards. Whatever you decide on, the most important thing is to make the event a memorable one—something that will put a smile on your faces when you look back on it many years later.
A mom-to-be can only be pregnant for nine months, so make the most out of this life-changing experience. Aside from keeping yourself and your baby healthy, don't forget to have fun as much as possible and enjoy your pregnancy!

Can Emmanuel Sanders get 100 receiving yards in Super Bowl 50?
Sanders to get 100 yards?
Emmanuel Sanders can pose a lot of problems for opposing defenses. Will he cause a lot of trouble for the Carolina Panthers at Super Bowl 50?
View NFL Odds
According to oddsmakers at BetDSI, Carolina is currently a 5-point favorite for Sunday's game with the Broncos, while the over/under total for the game has been set at 44 points. These two meet in Super Bowl 50 on Sunday at 6:30PM ET. The game will air live on CBS.
Sanders has been one of the top receivers for the Broncos in recent seasons and this year the sixth-year receiver and second-year Bronco caught 76 passes for 1,135 yards and six touchdowns. He was second on the team in most receiving categories behind Demaryius Thomas. His numbers were down quite a bit from last season, but the unstable QB play in Denver aided in that.
For Sunday's game, Sanders has a wide variety of receiving yard wagers you can place. The shortest odds for his yards is +100 for over 75. He has odds of +200 to go over 100 yards and long odds of +10000 to go over 200 yards. Sanders has had a decent playoffs, catching 16 passes for 147 yards. He had 85 yards against the Steelers and 62 against the Patriots. Sanders has went over 75 yards in nine games this season and has went over 100 yards four times. He faces a Carolina defense that ranks 11th in pass defense, allowing 234.5 yards per game.
