As a nice nostalgia-inducing bonus, even the website for the game is a throwback to the era marked by colorful and busy Angelfire, Lycos and Geocities web pages. Indie developers like Krool have been using the program to create retro games, because doing so from scratch is typically very time- and resource-consuming. The game was most likely created using a drag-and-drop tool for Nintendo handheld games called GB Studio. The game worked smoothly on a computer, and you can even expand the screen if you don't mind getting blurry graphics, which truly do look like they were created for Nintendo's old handheld.

The dance had a formal cultural function, but also singing the rhythm is what helped African American people get through the work - being sharecroppers in the heat, working on the railroad, helping to build America's system of transportation and getting goods to and fro. And so there are feels of gospel music going around. Which comes from Africa and is incorporated in gospel music as well. Goodwin: Fairly early on there’s a piece called “We're Goin' Around,” which in this production has a lot of call-and-response and a dance and seems to me like it's rooted in Black American forms of music, particularly the ring shout, or ring dance. That's why I think for some people it was difficult for them to understand his work, because the styles are changing so quickly Goodwin: Did he incorporate different styles into this? I used that and tried to listen to all of Joplin's rags, all of his music that he composed, and to try to figure out what his voice was and blend my voice with his voice. Sneed: I just tried to go from the piano/vocal score, which is just the vocal, and the piano part, right hand and left hand. Goodwin: As you mention, Joplin never saw a fully staged production of “Treemonisha.” So when you show up with librettist Karen Chilton to finish it and adapt it, what does that look like? What materials were you working with? Louis, that it'll go beyond the borders of America and just become a part of world history because Joplin really was an amazing creative. Louis a couple of times, my desire is that this will live on and that other people will be able to see it even outside of St. Now that I've had a chance to see our production at Opera Theatre of St. So I sort of felt like maybe there's some type of curse on this opera, because Joplin never got to see it completed. This horrible torrential rainstorm started coming down, and we could not perform anything else. And right when I struck the first chord of the overture, lightning struck the tent. People drove three or four hours from New York. Once at Howard University, once in New York City and once at the Phoenicia International Festival of the Voice in Phoenicia, New York.įor that one, we had already had rehearsals. I’ve tried so many years, for so many seasons, with so many people. Goodwin: You’ve been on a bit of a quest to produce this opera, right? You made other attempts in the past that didn’t pan out? And then later on when I got to college, I found out about “Treemonisha.” And I've always felt a connection to him from that day forward. I began to delve more into Joplin's works as a pianist and as a ragtime composer. When I first started playing for the neighbors, playing at my mother's meetings with the National Association of University Women, I definitely remember playing an excerpt of “The Entertainer” on an upright piano for one of their luncheons. Goodwin: How did you find your way to the work of Scott Joplin?ĭamien Sneed: Scott Joplin has always been one of my favorite composers. Goodwin spoke with Sneed about his adaptation and Joplin’s importance as a composer.ĭamien Sneed Composer Damien Sneed started from Scott Joplin's piano/vocal score and wrote new opening and closing acts for "Treemonisha." In this telling, Joplin’s Reconstruction-era story becomes not only a depiction of a prospering Black community near the border of Texas and Arkansas, but also the story of a composer triumphing artistically. Composer Damien Sneed and librettist Karen Chilton crafted new opening and closing acts, adding Joplin as a character and turning “Treemonisha” into an opera-within-an-opera. Louis presents a world premiere adaptation of “Treemonisha” through Sunday. A 1972 production brought the opera to a wider audience, and the piece won Joplin a posthumous Pulitzer Prize a few years later. He never quite finished another, “Treemonisha,” and it wasn’t fully staged during his lifetime. His work in the field of opera is lesser known. His heavily syncopated compositions, known as rags, paved the way for much American music to come. Scott Joplin earned the nickname king of ragtime in large part from musical innovations he made while living and working in St. Though retaining a design as a two-door hardtop coupe/convertible, the new Thunderbird was considerably larger than the previous generation, with a longer 113.0 inches (2,870 mm) wheelbase to accommodate the new back seat. As a result, the car was redesigned as a four-seater for 1958. In fact, the Thunderbird outsold the Corvette by more than 23-to-one for 1955 with 16,155 Thunderbirds sold against 700 CorvettesĪlthough the Thunderbird had been considered a rousing success, Ford executives-particularly Robert McNamara – felt that the car's position as a two-seater restricted its sales potential. Though inspired by, and positioned directly against, the Corvette, Ford billed the Thunderbird as a personal luxury car, putting a greater emphasis on the car's comfort and convenience features rather than its inherent sportiness. Designations aside, the Thunderbird sold exceptionally well in its first year. The Thunderbird's 102.0 inches wheelbase frame was mostly a shortened version of that used in other Fords while the car's standard 292 cu in (4.8 L) Y-Block V8 came from Ford's Mercury division. Mechanically though, the Thunderbird could trace its roots to other mainstream Fords. Though sharing some design characteristics with other Fords of the time, such as single, circular headlamps and tail lamps and modest tail fins, the Thunderbird was sleeker and more athletic in shape, and had features like a hood scoop and a 150 mph speedometer hinting a higher performance nature that other Fords didn't possess. Production of the Thunderbird began later on in 1954 on September 9 with the car beginning sales as a 1955 model on October 22, 1954. Like the Corvette, the Thunderbird had a two-seat coupe/convertible layout. Under rapid development, the Thunderbird went from idea to prototype in about a year, being unveiled to the public at the Detroit Auto Show on February 20, 1954. The Ford Thunderbird began life in February 1953 in direct response to Chevrolet's new sports car, the Corvette, which was publicly unveiled in prototype form just a month before. “I was born and raised in São Paulo Brazil,” Rangel told News 6 in an interview on Thursday. “Can I kick an extra $20 something dollars in to get a copy of that for my office? I really want that on my wall,” Lober quipped. Tobia even offered to pay “out of his own pocket” to frame the resolution and Lober requested his own copy. Rangel deserves recognition for selflessly not withstanding our nearly ten-fold higher per capita GDP and approximately 1/16th the murder rate of the country which she hails, “ Lober said sitting back in his seat with a grin.Īfter laughs all around from the Brevard County Commission, Tobia recommended the commission stick with the first addition Lober suggested but not the second targeting Rangel’s Brazilian nationality. “Whereas despite her partisan and criticisms of the manner in which this county, state and country are run Ms. Rangel never once let the fact that she is forbidden from voting in this county deter her from commenting on our politics and criticizing numerous Republican elected officials,” Lober said.Īfter reading the “more palatable” of his suggestions to add to the resolution, Lober removed his mask to read the second. “Whereas throughout her employment with Florida Today Ms. Without objection from any of the other commissioners the resolution passed.įollowing the reading, Lober jumped in to ask if he could add to the resolution. “Her dedication to Brevard is exemplified by her accepting a position with the Miami Herald a mere three years after coming here and whereas, her liberal views will be sorely missed by the Brevard Democrat alike.” “She selflessly advocated for public notice in newspapers despite the fact that it is rarely read, costs taxpayers millions and would benefit her employer’s pocket,” Tobia continued. Tobia introduced the “Resolution honoring Florida Today Reporter Isadora Rangel,” first listing off her qualifications as a journalist and job title but things quickly took a turn as Tobia continued on, “because of her eloquent prose, the circulation of the Florida Today dropped only 16% during her tenure.”Īccording to Florida Today executive editor Mara Bellaby, the news outlet grew its digital users by 33% last year. An editorial board is independent of any newsroom’s reporting.ĭuring Tuesday’s county commission meeting, members first honored two young residents for earning the rank of Eagle Scout and then Tobia introduced a final resolution taking direct aim at Rangel. During her tenure, Rangel has covered Brevard politics in her role overseeing the editorial board, which apparently ruffled the feathers of District 3 Commissioner John Tobia and District 2 Commissioner Bryan Lober. – Brevard County Commissioners targeted an outgoing Florida Today editor with a resolution Tuesday “honoring” her but instead the commissioners targeted the journalist’s nationality and the decline of newspaper sales.įlorida Today engagement editor Isadora Rangel announced last week she was leaving after 3.5 years at the Brevard County paper for a new position with the Miami Herald. Return the mold to the freezer for 20 minutes. Pour the mixture straight into the springform pan or muffin mold cups, to halfway up the side-you should have about half the cashew mix left. Blitz well on high speed until completely smooth and creamy. Put them in a high- speed blender along with all the other filling ingredients, apart from the raspberry powder. To make the filling, drain the cashews and rinse under running water. Place in the freezer as you make the filling. Pour the mixture into the springform pan or divide evenly among the muffin cups and press down well. Add the dates, oil, and maca, and continue to blend until the mixture comes together as a smooth mass. To make the base, blend the cashews in a food processor to the texture of coarse sand. Do not use coconut oil as this will freeze solid and will not have a lubricating effect. Grease a 8-inch springform pan or a 12-cup silicone muffin mold with a neutral oil such as sunflower oil.
Unfortunately, as with most serious diseases, blight is incredibly difficult to treat unless you catch it before it starts spreading rapidly. These will usually only appear on the leaves, not the fruits, making identifying much easier. Look for small, rounded spots that start out yellow, eventually turning brown and then black. Septoria leaf spot requires a close eye to spot as symptoms begin on the leaves closest to the ground, working their way up. Late blight is more common in cooler weather, as opposed to early blight and Septoria leaf spot that are more common in warm and wet weather. Fruits will also begin to rot and turn brown, usually from the top of the fruit traveling downwards. Stems will turn black, developing a white fluff containing spores of the fungus. These areas of damage may also be surrounded by slight yellowing. They also have a fuzzy appearance as if the plant is infected with mildew. Look for irregular discolored grey or brown patches that start at the center of the leaf and travel outward. Leaves also develop spots when tomato plants are infected with late blight, but their appearance is slightly different. Any area that the problem appears on will become damaged, with leaves dropping, stems becoming sunken, and tomato fruits falling off the plant. These spots may be surrounded by a yellow ring as they spread, but can also be solid brown. If the problem spreads, the spots will begin to appear on new leaves, stems and even the tomato fruits. These spots have concentric rings that make the area look like a bullseye. When your tomato plant is infected with early blight, you’ll notice brown spots appearing on older leaves. What Are The Signs of Blight On Tomatoes? Early Blight It is also far less damaging to your plants than the other types of blight. This blight is considered the easiest to treat and control, as long as you catch it early enough. Early blight is most common in wet and humid conditions where fungi thrive.Īnother problem that pops up during wet weather is Septoria leaf spot, named after the fungus Septoria lycopersici. This fungus resides in the soil, popping up when conditions are right and spreading around your tomato and potato plants. This event gives just a small hint of how damaging late blight can be.Įarly blight is another type to look out for, caused by Alternaria solani. It is caused by Phytophthora infestans, the fungus that lead to the devastating potato famine in Ireland in the 19 th century. L ate blight is one of the more common and usually the type referred to when using the term ‘tomato blight’. There are three different types of blight that commonly attack tomatoes, each with varying levels of damage. But the exact symptoms and subsequent treatment will largely depend on the type of blight you are dealing with. The first signs of blight generally appear on older leaves of the plant, spreading from there to newer leaves and even to the fruits. It is a common problem in tomato gardens and spreads rapidly, quickly spelling the end of your tomato growing season if not prevented or controlled. What is Blight?īlight is a disease that affects not only tomatoes but several common crops in your vegetable garden.
