While he claims to not be a serial killer, Saw villain Jigsaw is one of the most effective murderers in horror, though there have been a few victims that have escaped his grasp. Of course, were one to ask John Kramer himself, back when he was alive, anyway, he would've insisted that what he did wasn't murder. Instead, John used the Jigsaw identity to help wayward and damaged people reform, learning to have a new appreciation for life by making a sacrifice of blood and flesh to survive.

In reality, Jigsaw's twisted methods are impossible to condone. His games are nothing more than a sick vigilante taking punishment into his own hands. John may have been a decent man once upon a time, but the loss of his unborn son and the dissolution of his marriage, coupled with the terminal cancer eating away at him, eventually sapped every last bit of true humanity from his heart. No decent person could do what he does to people and not go mad.

For the Saw fans, though, there's no reason to hate John, as in fiction, the normal bounds of morality don't necessarily apply. Many of the people Jigsaw targets are far from sympathetic characters, and watching them get theirs can be a form of catharsis. Sometimes though, the players of Jigsaw's games have survived to tell the tale. Here are all of the survivors of Jigsaw's games.

Amanda Young (Shawnee Smith) was the first known survivor of a Jigsaw trap, in her case the infamous reverse bear trap. To free herself, she had to kill a man and retrieve the key to the device on her face from inside his stomach. As traumatic as it was, Amanda then kicked her drug addiction and ended up joining John as his first confirmed apprentice, designed to help Jigsaw's work continue despite John's failing health. Sadly, she lost her way and began designing inescapable traps. John tested her again, and she failed, dying in the process.

Not everyone who gets mixed up in Jigsaw's games is a particular target of his wrath. In some cases, they're just those close to the main test subject, such as the wife and daughter of Dr. Lawrence Gordon (Cary Elwes). Dr. Gordon, of course, famously survived his test in the first Saw movie by sawing off his own foot. Meanwhile, his wife Alison and daughter Diana survived their own captivity at the hands of Zep, a man forced into working for Jigsaw. Lawrence would go on to survive and become another Jigsaw apprentice, as revealed in Saw 7.

Jeff Ridenhour is a very minor character in Saw lore, but still a memorable one. In Jeff's case, he didn't necessarily deserve to survive his Jigsaw test, but was saved by Detectives David Tapp (Danny Glover) and Steven Sing (Ken Leung). Doing so led to dire consequences for the cops, though – so perhaps the tradeoff wasn't exactly fair.

Daniel Matthews was tested much less due to his own petty crimes, and more because he was the son of Eric Matthews (Donnie Wahlberg), an explosively violent cop who was Saw 2's primary Jigsaw target. Eric survived being placed in a group of people who had been wrongly convicted of crimes thanks to his father, but was then placed inside a safe to be used as leverage for Eric's test. Daniel survived, but Eric didn't come out intact.

Corbett Denlon and Judge Halden are two minor Saw 3 characters who were pulled into Jigsaw's games with Jeff Denlon in Saw 3. Halden was the man who gave the drunk driver that killed Jeff's son a light sentence. To save Halden, Jeff had to burn cherished mementos connected to his son. Halden later died trying to help Jeff save his son's killer from a trap. Corbett, Jeff's young daughter, was "saved" by Jigsaw apprentice Mark Hoffman after Jeff failed his test.

Easily the most dangerous and sadistic of Jigsaw's apprentices, Detective Mark Hoffman (Costas Mandylor) ended up working for John Kramer after faking a Jigsaw murder in order to kill the man who had taken his sister's life. Seeing Hoffman's potential, but not appreciating being ripped off, John offered him a chance to join the cause. Hoffman continued the games long after John's death but got tested for the first time himself via his own reverse bear trap thanks to John's widow, Jill. Hoffman survived and killed Jill, but later lost for good against Dr. Gordon.

FBI Agent Peter Strahm (Scott Patterson), along with his partner Lindsey Perez, investigated the Jigsaw case, and both ultimately died as a result, but not before escaping at least one of Jigsaw's traps. Strahm instantly suspected Hoffman was in on things, and that didn't change following his own escape from a Jigsaw trap that involved an improvised pen tracheotomy to avoid drowning in a box locked on his head. Still, his dogged pursuit of the truth cost him dearly, as he was later crushed to death by the encroaching walls of a room, while Hoffman smugly escaped the area.

Strahm's partner Agent Perez survived a nasty Jigsaw trap involving an exploding puppet sending shrapnel into her face thanks to the efforts of Strahm himself. The FBI faked her death in order to try and get one over on John's still unidentified Jigsaw accomplice, although Perez eventually resurfaced, only to get stabbed to death by Hoffman when his crimes were revealed.

Art Blank (Justin Louis) was one of the featured Jigsaw test subjects in Saw 4, and was chosen due to his profession. Art was a lawyer, and one with a habit of defending clients who were guilty as sin and helping them escape justice. Art had been John's friend and business partner, but after a falling out, was forced to kill another man in order to survive a trap. He was then forced to help Jigsaw set up another game, only to later be shot by cop Daniel Rigg. Morgan was a related survivor, the wife of an abusive husband and father that Art had gotten off. She had to kill her husband to live and to set herself free in more ways than one.

Brit Stevenson (Julie Benz) was one of the main test subjects in Saw 5, a corrupt corporate executive who hired an arsonist to burn down an apartment building so that she could buy the property it sat on, not realizing people were inside at the time. None of the victims in Saw 5 were without sin, but Brit and Mallick Scott, the arsonist, managed to survive multiple traps on their way to victory and rescue by the FBI.

Tara and Brent Abbott were a quite innocent mother and son who got roped into Jigsaw's Saw 6 game, which revolved around heartless insurance executive William Easton. Easton denied their husband/father live-saving care, and after Easton survived his own tests, his fate was left up to them. Tara couldn't bring herself to kill Easton, but Brent did it, instead, in a rage over his father's death.

The corrupt exec William Easton (Peter Outerbridge) survived his own tests, although not without having to make agonizing decisions along the way, including which of his also mostly corrupt employees he would save. Easton's company had also denied John Kramer potentially life-saving treatment, thus his posthumous vendetta. William opted to save his secretary, Addy, as well as other subordinates, Shelby and Emily. He was also able to save his sister Pamela by completing his game, but couldn't survive the vengeful Abbots.

Bobby Dagen (Sean Patrick Flanery) became a successful self-help guru on the back of surviving a Jigsaw trap and then writing a book about it, or at least that's his claim. None of it is true, leading him to become the main test subject of Saw 7. Bobby has to watch his wife get roasted alive in a giant oven, although he does manage to escape with his own life. Joan is a very brief character in the franchise, a Jigsaw survivor whose story Bobby uses as inspiration for his lies.

In Saw 7, Bobby Dagen chaired a support group of Jigsaw survivors, although unlike him, their stories were real. Mallick Scott survived alongside Brit Stevenson in Saw 5, losing most of his blood in the process. Simone chopped off her own arm to survive a "pound of flesh" trap in Saw 6. Brad and Ryan had to choose between killing each other, or the girlfriend who had been cheating on them both, and they chose her. Sidney had to send her abusive boyfriend into lawnmower blades. Addy and Emily from Easton's company, were also group members, as were Dr. Lawrence Gordon, and Tara Abbott.

Logan Nelson (Matt Passmore) was an Army veteran and battlefield medic who was tested after his return to civilian life saw him mess up an X-ray and accidentally delay the diagnosis of John's cancer. Logan's trap went wrong, though, and since it was John's fault, he took pity on Logan and freed him. Grateful, Logan became an apprentice and conducted the games seen in 2017's Jigsaw.

Spiral: From the Book of Saw recently continued Jigsaw's legacy, albeit with a new killer and 100 percent less John Kramer. The only test survivor in Spiral is lead protagonist Zeke Banks (Chris Rock), seemingly the one honest cop in a corrupt department full of liars and killers. Granted, he clearly wasn't intended to die, as new killer William Schenk wanted them to join forces and clean up the city. Zeke is able to free himself from a handcuff trap similar to the one in the first Saw movie and ends up getting cut up by glass trying to save his old corrupt partner. Zeke lives, but his former police chief father isn't so lucky.

Olympic Gymnastics: Simone Biles Set a New Standard. Can U.S.A. Gymnastics Do the Same

Biles remains the world chief in ladies' vaulting. Her nation's administering body recognizes despite everything it has work to do. Olympic fans from all over the world are invited to book Olympic 2020 tickets from our online platforms for Olympic Tickets. Olympic Gymnastics fans can book Olympic Gymnastics Tickets from our ticketing marketplace exclusively on discounted prices.

Simone Biles stuck one last getting, this one on the uneven bars, and fixed the inside and out title that had been hers to lose all end of the week. At that point, she kept running off the tangle with her tongue out and her head swaying to and fro. There was an immense grin all over.

Her richness, and her delight, after her success, were a distinct difference from the emotions she had shown on Wednesday, two days before the challenge. At that point, Biles had cried tears while talking about the present province of U.S.A. Tumbling, the administering board for the game in America.

One year out from the Tokyo 2020 Olympics, the United States titles were the ideal gathering to evaluate the two posts of American aerobatic: the highest quality level greatness of Biles, and then proceeding with inquiries regarding U.S.A. Acrobatic.

Biles did her part. Her triumphant presentation included two abilities never executed effectively in ladies' tumbling rivalry: a triple-twofold on floor practice and a twofold descent on equalization shaft. She completed 4.95 focuses in front of the following nearest contender, Sunisa Lee — a preferred position that speaks to an avalanche in acrobatic scoring.

U.S.A. Tumbling, in the interim, stays a body in disturbance, burning through pioneers and as yet attempting to rise up out of the approaching shadow of the Lawrence G. Nassar outrage. Nassar, a previous specialist for both Team U.S.A. furthermore, Michigan State, was blamed for attacking more than 300 competitors under the pretense of therapeutic treatment. Biles uncovered over a year prior that she, as well, was one of Nassar's exploited people.

Biles said that despite everything she didn't trust U.S.A. Vaulting to secure its competitors, and that it was hard for her to vie for an association that had harmed her so often. I simply shut it out, Biles stated, when asked how she controls her feelings when she contends. I'm here to carry out a responsibility.

The league has employed three CEOs over the most recent two years. Li Leung, a youth acrobat and previous N.B.A. official who in February turned into the most recently accused of driving the agitated association, said she wanted to carry solidness to the administering body.

"I recognize that despite everything we have a ton of work to do, Leung said a week ago, before the titles opened. This is a long-distance race, not a run. I believe I'm in Mile 1 of the long-distance race."

U.S.A. Acrobatic petitioned for financial protection in December, and it is presently in intercession to determine a portion of the claims it faces identified with Nassar's long stretches of sexual maltreatment of gymnasts.

In spite of the fact that Leung said she was not permitted to unveil particulars as a result of the continuous suit, she said the choice to seek financial protection was made with the goal that the association could resolve the cases of the Nassar exploited people in a proficient and short measure of time.

No unfortunate casualties have gotten any payouts from U.S.A. Aerobatic, and there is no course of events for when any will happen. The association right now has no backers, except for the tumbling clothing organization GK, and Leung said no new associations would be looked for until U.S.A. Acrobatic had its home altogether.

In November, the United States Olympic 2020 and Paralympic Committee pushed toward stripping U.S.A. Acrobatic of its confirmation, which would give the U.S.O.P.C. full control of the national administering body. Leung said there were four things U.S.A. Aerobatic expected to enhance to stop this procedure: administration solidness, money related strength, competitor wellbeing and building trust inside the network.

Leung has made it a point to be available and out in the open, doing her part, it appears, to add to the last column. She was out on the challenge floor embracing and cheering the competitors throughout the end of the week, and she said she had spoken with in excess of 400 competitors, mentors and aerobatic club proprietors during her five-month residency.

The more probable clarification was that the group had come principally to see Biles; the participation at the ladies' opposition was almost twofold that for the men.

Lee, 16, amazed with rich schedules consistently. Behind her were Grace McCallum, 16, and Morgan Hurd, 18. Despite the fact that not a top contender in the inside and out, Jade Carey, 19, exhibited her capacity in the vault and the floor work out, completing second just to Biles in every occasion. Riley McCusker, 18, a bronze medalist a year ago, scratched from the challenge due to an ailment.

Biles, however, seems, by all accounts, to be fit as a fiddle than she was in 2016 when she won the inside and out challenge, regardless of whether her fussbudget inclinations appeared through even in triumph. Biles said regardless she felt as though she had work to do.

She was furious with her schedules on the main day of rivalry on Friday, when she couldn't control the arrival on the triple-twofold and contacted two pass on toward the finish of the move. She bounced back on Sunday, finishing the move with just a slight jump in reverse.

A city shackled: How Beijing’s security law transformed Hong Kong in one short month

A city shackled: How Beijing’s security law transformed Hong Kong in one short month

Within a fortnight, authorities have outlawed select protest phrases and arrested activists for allegedly inciting secession

The original post was written by Jennifer Creery and published on the Hong Kong Free Press on August 1. The following edited version is published on Global Voices via a content partnership agreement. Once a vague spectre, national security legislation became a reality in Hong Kong last month when, in less than six weeks, Beijing imposed a law granting authorities sweeping powers to clamp down on dissent. Drafted behind closed doors without local legislative input, the law ostensibly targets acts in the city deemed a threat to state security, including terrorism and collusion with foreign forces, following months of sometimes violent democracy protests. With broad, catch-all provisions that encompass acts committed abroad and charges punishable with up to life imprisonment, the law has sent shivers down the spines of activists who fear it will chip away at the territory’s treasured civil liberties. The move was welcomed by the pro-Beijing camp as heralding the return of social “stability,” but activists and nongovernmental organizations have warned it will spell the end of One Country, Two Systems. Within a fortnight, local authorities have outlawed select protest phrases and arrested activists for allegedly inciting secession. Critics warned of a “chilling effect” as foreign governments, such as Australia and New Zealand, suspended their extradition treaties with Hong Kong; former lawmaker Nathan Law fled to the UK and Downing Street created a “lifeboat” citizenship scheme for British National (Overseas) passport holders looking to emigrate from Hong Kong. As some 7 million residents wake up to a radical shift in the city’s political order, HKFP rounds up some of the key developments in Hong Kong as the new legislation was rolled out.

First arrests under the security law

Despite the newly-gazetted law and the coronavirus restrictions on gatherings, thousands took to the streets on Hong Kong Island on July 1. Under the new law, police made their first arrest of several individuals including those who carried Hong Kong independence signs. On the same day, police introduced a new purple flag warning crowds that they may have violated the security law.

Protest slogan criminalised

Reverberating through shopping malls across the city, the chant “Liberate Hong Kong, the revolution of our times,” came to define last year’s protests. Two days after the enactment of the security law, the government singled out that popular protest slogan as implying separatism; anyone found uttering or displaying it could be arrested, it warned. Legal experts have questioned whether the ban is binding in nature. But police swiftly cautioned pro-democracy political group Tin Shui Wai Connection at a street stall and arrested a demonstrator for holding a placard featuring the forbidden slogan in Yuen Long on July 27. Protesters have responded using creative workarounds, such as near-homonyms, a geometric typeface of the eight characters, or using initials of the romanised slogan. Some voiced their opposition by holding up blank signs, while others pasted blank Post-It notes on walls to mimic “Lennon Walls” – public display boards once filled with messages of support for the protest movement.

Democracy books pulled

Days after the enactment of the law, at least nine pro-democracy titles disappeared from public library shelves, prompting fears over censorship. Among the books removed for “review” included incumbent democrat Tanya Chan's “My Journeys for Food and Justice,” activist Joshua Wong’s coauthored “Unfree Speech,” as well as Horace Chin’s “On the Hong Kong City-State and Hong Kong State-survivors,” penned under the name Chin-Wan.

Protest song banned in schools

Hong Kong Education Secretary Kevin Yeung declared on July 7 that no one in schools should “hold any activities to express their political stance,” and teachers must not allow students to play, sing or broadcast the popular protest song “Glory to Hong Kong” on campuses.

Polling institute raided

Police with a warrant descended on the offices of the Hong Kong Public Opinion Institute (HKPORI) on the night of July 10 with the objective of seizing computers. The raid over a suspected data leak coincided with the pollsters’ involvement in self-initiated democratic primaries to select candidates to run in September’s legislative election, which went ahead as planned the following weekend. Officers left without removing any electronic devices.

Taiwan envoy leaves

Taiwan’s top acting representative in Hong Kong Kao Ming-tsun left the city on July 16, after refusing to sign an affidavit of support for “One China” for his visa extension application. “One China” is a diplomatic principle acknowledging only one Chinese government and Taiwan as part of China. Taiwan has been ruled by the Republic of China government since 1945 and considers itself to be an independent country. Kao has been the acting top representative after the designated official Lu Chang-shui's visa application was left pending since 2018. Taiwanese officials have accused the Hong Kong government of imposing “additional political conditions�� when processing visa renewals and applications since the enactment of the security law.

Media bureau relocates staff

The New York Times suddenly revealed on July 14 it was to relocate its Hong Kong digital news team – equalling about a third of its staff – to Seoul, South Korea. It cited press freedom fears arising from the new legislation and unusual difficulties securing work permits, “rarely an issue” before, it added. The paper said it would keep some of its correspondents in the territory to chart its morphing political landscape.

Student arrests

On July 29, police arrested four former members of the pro-independence group Studentlocalism, including ex-convenor Tony Chung, ex-spokesperson Ho Nok-hang, as well as ex-members Yanni Ho and Chan Wai-jin, on suspicion of inciting secession, in the first major roundup following an investigation under the security law. Speaking to reporters afterwards, the department's Senior Superintendent Steve Li pointed to social media posts created after the law’s enactment that allegedly advocated the “joining of all pro-independence forces” to establish a “Hong Kong republic.” Studentlocalism announced a day before the government gazetted the security law that it would shift all local operations overseas. Critics sounded the alarm over potential retroactive application of the law following the arrests.

Democrats disqualified

Less than 24 hours after the student arrests, returning officers invalidated the nominations of a whopping 12 democratic candidates seeking to run in September’s legislative election. The list included prominent activist Joshua Wong, long a thorn in the side of the government, as well as incumbent lawmakers Kwok Ka-ki, Dennis Kwok and Kenneth Leung, previously considered moderates. Others included district councillors Tiffany Yuen, Lester Shum and Fergus Leung, and newcomer Gwyneth Ho, a former journalist. One of the reasons cited as grounds for disqualification was expressing opposition to the security law which, “in principle,” meant the candidate did not sincerely intend to uphold the Basic Law. In an ominous statement, the government said it would not rule out the possibility of barring more candidates in the future. Wong on Friday warned authorities were attempting to scrub the legislature of opposition figures in order to maintain the pro-establishment camp’s majority.

Exiled activists ‘wanted’

On July 31, Hong Kong police reportedly ordered the arrest of six pro-democracy activists, Nathan Law, Simon Cheng, Ray Wong, Wayne Chan, Honcques Laus, and Samuel Chu who is a US citizen on suspicion of violating the national security law. The controversial legislation includes passages which make it applicable worldwide, putting Hongkongers overseas at risk of arrest should they return to Hong Kong or Chinese jurisdiction.

Election postponed

Also on July 31, Chief Executive Carrie Lam announced Hong Kong would postpone September’s legislative election by one year owing to a resurgence in untraceable coronavirus cases. Hong Kong democrats, however, said the government was conspiring with pro-establishment lawmakers to stall the poll, using COVID-19 as an excuse.

Immunity of Recovered COVID-19 Patients Could Cut Risk of Expanding Economic Activity

While attention remains focused on the number of COVID-19 deaths and new cases, a separate statistic – the number of recovered patients – may be equally important to the goal of minimizing the pandemic’s infection rate as shelter-in-place orders are lifted.

The presumed immunity of those who have recovered from the infection could allow them to safely substitute for susceptible people in certain high-contact occupations such as healthcare. Dubbed “shield immunity,” the anticipated protection against short-term reinfection could allow recovered patients to expand their interactions with infected and susceptible people, potentially reducing overall transmission rates when interactions are permitted to expand.

New modeling of the virus’ behavior suggests that an intervention strategy based on shield immunity could reduce the risk of allowing the higher levels of human interaction needed to support expanded economic activity. The number of Americans infected by the novel coronavirus is likely much higher than what has been officially reported, and that could be good news for efforts to utilize their presumed immunity to protect the larger community.

However, there are two important caveats to the strategy. The first is that the duration of immunity to reinfection by SARS-CoV-2 remains unknown; however, individuals who survived infections by related viral infections, like SARS, had persistent antibodies for approximately two years – and those who survived infection to MERS had evidence of immunity for approximately three years. The second issue is that determining on a broad scale who has antibodies that may protect them from the coronavirus will require a level of reliable serological testing not yet available in the United States.

“Our model describes ways in which serological tests used to identify individuals who have been infected by and recovered from COVID-19 could help both reduce future transmission and foster increased economic engagement,” said Joshua Weitz, professor in the School of Biological Sciences and founding director of the Interdisciplinary Ph.D. in Quantitative Biosciences at the Georgia Institute of Technology. “The idea is to think in advance about how identifying recovered individuals could help serve the collective good, using information collected on neutralizing antibodies in new ways.”

A paper describing the modeling behind the concept of shield immunity was published May 7 in the journal Nature Medicine by a team of researchers from Georgia Tech, Princeton University and McMaster University. The researchers studied the potential impacts of presumed immunity among recovered persons using a computational model of COVID-19 epidemiological dynamics, building upon a SEIR (susceptible-exposed-infectious-recovered) framework.

In a population of 10 million citizens, for example, the model predicts that in a worst-case transmission scenario, implementation of an intermediate shielding strategy could help reduce deaths from 71,000 to 58,000, while an enhanced shielding plan could cut deaths from 71,000 to 20,000. The model also suggests that shielding could enhance the effects of social distancing strategies that may remain in place once higher levels of economic activity resume.

Identification of individuals who have protective antibodies against the novel coronavirus has begun only recently. Antibody tests are not 100% specific, implying that tests can lead to false positives. However, targeted use of antibody testing in groups with elevated exposure will lead to increases in positive predictive value, even with imperfect tests. The serological antibody test differs from widespread polymerase chain reaction (PCR) testing being done to determine whether people are actively infected with the virus.

Among healthcare professionals, serological testing could identify recovered individuals who might then be able to interact with patients with reduced concern for infection. Other recovered individuals could be used to help reduce transmission risk in nursing homes, the food service industry, emergency medical services, grocery stores, retailing and other essential operations. Across society, the relatively small number of individuals with immunity could substitute for people whose immunity status isn’t known; reducing transmission risk both for recovered individuals and those who remain immunologically naive.

“We want to think about serology as an intervention,” Weitz said. “Finding out who is immune to the coronavirus could make a big difference in trying to reduce the risk to people who would be vulnerable by interacting with someone who could pass on the disease.”

Serological testing to identify those with immunity might begin with healthcare workers, who may be more likely to have been infected by the coronavirus because of their exposure to infected persons, Weitz said. Because so many infections do not produce the distinctive COVID-19 symptoms, it’s likely that many people have recovered from the illness without knowing they’ve had had it, potentially expanding the pool of recovered persons.

“There may be a deeper pool of individuals who can help within their own fields and other fields of specialization to reduce transmission,” Weitz said. “The reality is that people within high-contact jobs probably are likely to have a higher incidence of infection than other groups.”

But using antibody information about individuals would create potential privacy issues, and require that those individuals make informed decisions about accepting additional risks for the greater good of the community.

“What this model says is that if we could identify individuals who are immune, there is a chance that some individuals would not have to reduce their level of interaction with others because that interaction would be less risky,” he added. “Rather than trying to keep reducing interactions, which is helpful for reducing transmission but bad for what it does for the economy, we might be able to maintain interactions while reducing the risk, combined with other mitigation approaches.”

Ultimately, addressing the pandemic will require development and mass production of a vaccine that could boost immunity levels beyond 60 percent in the general population. Until that is available, Weitz believes that shield immunity could become part of the approach to the challenge.

“We don’t have a silver bullet,” he said. “Until we have a vaccine, we will have to use a combination of strategies to control COVID-19, and shield immunity is potentially one of them.”

Tuning In at McMaster

Back in October, McMaster University librarian David Kidney had me out to Hamilton to speak to a gathering of his colleagues at the Royal Botanical Gardens, David Braley & Nancy Gordon Rock Garden. Not only did the idea for an event for students and alumni take root on that day but that second event ended up being hosted at the David Braley Athletic Centre right on campus at Mac this past Thursday evening.

The event was billed as “Tuning in to Canada’s Stories” – part of a series of events marking Canada’s sesquicentennial. It was a fascinating group in attendance: staff, students, alumni, foreign students, kids, parents – all in what might have been an imposing and cavernous gymnasium made cosy not only by the curtained tech set up but by the people in the room.

The presentation went wonderfully and I got so many great stories from attendees who came up to get their portraits taken following the event. I often say that I haven’t met anyone yet who doesn’t have some connection to the project – whether that’s a piece that’s in the guitar, a place that it’s from, a place that it’s been, a person who’s played it or a song that’s been sung on it. That was certainly the case at McMaster – even the students from Iran who had only been in Canada for a few months, with whom I connected over the Kamkars – a family of musicians from their hometown of Shiraz and with whom I’d worked on a show some years ago!

The group of students/alumni who played in the “performance pocket” of the presentation was truly extraordinary. As a professional acoustic engineer, Simon Edwards (pictured next to me, second from the right) would no doubt have been impressed with technician Hana Dampf, who managed to craft excellent sound in the normally acoustically hostile environs of a gymnasium. Simon went first and got things off to a great start. Simon joins another dozen or so people who’ve played Voyageur who have also appeared on “The Late Show with David Letterman”. And you know Simon is a proud McMaster alumni because he’s even wearing his McMaster T-shirt on his Letterman appearance from 2012!

Sonia Leung (holding Voyageur was next up. She did a wonderful rendition of a song by Lights – great playing and beguilingly airy and agile vocals. We’ll have to look for her on “Colbert”!

Last up was Logan Churchill. At soundcheck, Logan changed a string on Voyageur in the amount of time it would take me to take the string out of the box. For his performance he moved the guitar to an open tuning and experimented with a variety of pull-offs, fretwork and percussive effects. The instrument was really singing and he managed a whole choir of voices out of it – fantastic and symphonic and a great finale to the performance segment.

Thanks to all three players for doing Voyageur proud and to Anne Plessl and Meggie MacDougall, who organized the event on behalf of the McMaster Libraries and the McMaster Alumni Association respectively. Thanks also to our photo station volunteers, Chris Pickard and Lori Moulden, and to the Campus Store for coming out to sell books. And special thanks, of course, to everyone who came out to be part of the evening and part of the story of this project.

Simon Leung Cyber Bullying? Or Scamming? - Truth Revealed This video reveals the truth of the video: "Simon Leung Cyber Bullying? Or Scamming?” - an illegal video that falsely attacks Simon Leung. 

BACK STORY: Simon Leung has been defamed by an attacker spreading fake lies and false accusations - watch here for explanation of "the video" by Simon Leung: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=07HekNQ-99g

Even though this video clearly violates YouTube policy and defamation law, it is intentionally not taken down for the following reasons: 

1) To keep the live link as defamation evidence

The video titled “Simon Leung Cyber Bullying? Or Scamming?” Is a replicate video of the original one that also attacks Simon Leung, which is not to be named currently to withhold the identity of the original video creator. 

Original video creator’s identity is not being revealed in this Simon Leung Defamation Case campaign for legal, privacy and integrity reasons.
