# Operatic pop

Operatic pop or popera is a subgenre of pop music that is performed in an operatic singing style or a song, theme or motif from classical music stylized as pop. The subgenre is often performed by classical crossover singers and acts, although that field is much broader in the types of music it encompasses. "Popera" performances, such as those by the Three Tenors, have reached larger audiences and brought in greater profits than typical for operatic music.

## History

According to music historians, operatic pop songs became most prevalent with the rise of Tin Pan Alley musicians during the early 1900s. One influence was the large influx of Italian immigrants to the United States who popularized singers such as Enrico Caruso and inspired the creation of "novelty songs" using Italian dialect. The songs often used operatic repertory "to make a satirical or topical point". Popularized by American Vaudeville, musical comedies, jazz and operettas, examples include Irving Berlin's That Opera Rag, Billy Murray's My Cousin Caruso and Louis Armstrong's riffs on Rigoletto and Pagliacci. The subgenre subsequently dwindled after the 1920s but revived during the rock music era with albums such as The Who's Tommy and Queen's A Night at The Opera.
In 1986, operatic tenor Luciano Pavarotti had a hit with the Lucio Dalla song "Caruso", which helped to spark a recent flourishing of operatic pop. Other singers, including Andrea Bocelli, Josh Groban, and Katherine Jenkins, also recorded the number. Bocelli, in particular, soon became a leading representative of the subgenre while his famous duet partner, British soprano Sarah Brightman, also gravitated considerably towards this combination of opera and pop music. In the 2000s, singers and singing groups devoted primarily to operatic pop built on this renewed success. Groups like Il Divo and Amici Forever have achieved popularity with the mix of "contemporary pop with operatic style" characteristic of operatic pop.

# Martin West (colonial administrator)

Sir Martin West (1804–1849) was born in England, the son of a civil servant in the Treasury.
Martin West studied at Balliol College, Oxford, before joining the British East India Company. He served in Bombay but had to retire on grounds of ill-health and became Resident Magistrate in Grahamstown, Cape Colony.
From this post, he was appointed the first Lieutenant-Governor and the first civilian administrator of the Colony of Natal in 1845, still a dependency of the Cape. He reached Natal on 8 December 1845.
Joyce's short biographical entry describes him as "a moderate administrator, …(who) suffered from poor health and, ill-supported by the British government, … achieved negligible progress during his term of office". He was retired from the Natal governorship in 1849 and died that year.
Durban's West Street and the suburb of Westville are named after him. Westville Boys' High School also has a school house called West that is named after him.
# Delta Yeti

The Delta Yeti is a small off-road vehicle built by the defunct Delta Special Vehicles in Turin, Italy towards the end of the 1960s.

## The context

The Yeti was designed by the same people who had designed the Ferves (Ranger) and it is a small four-seater off-road vehicle with open bodywork and a canvas roof, which can be applied by means of ribbed frames.
The structure is composed of an external steel box frame, whose squared shape characterizes and conditions the vehicle line.
It was powered by the engine of the Fiat 850 and is the first off-road vehicle equipped with four drive wheels and steering wheels built in Italy for the civilian market.
Put on sale in 1968 and produced in very small series, despite the refined construction technique, the "Yeti" had little commercial success, remaining in phase little more than a prototype.

## SAMAS

After a couple of years the project was acquired by a new company in Alba, SAMAS (Società Albese Meccanica Speciali Specia), which replaced the engine with new FIAT 127's 903 cc unit, rebranding it as the SAMAS Yeti 903. In 1973 the same house also presented a six-wheel drive project version of the Yeti, which did not enter production.
The change made by SAMAS was not limited to the mere replacement of the engine, but rather to a radical change in mechanics. The main one was the positioning of the engine no longer cantilevered on the front axle but set back almost inside the cockpit. In addition, various mechanical components were used, such as the gearbox of the Fiat 124, differentials of the Alfa Romeo Giulia, the steering box of the Fiat 316 pickup truck; only the gearbox reducer box was built specifically for this model. The design was acquired by Embo S.p.A. in 1978, who offered it as the K/80. After a redesign in 1980, they tried selling it as the Embo Mega. It is unknown if Embo actually built any examples, as their own brochure only includes amateurish drawings of the Mega.

## Technical notes

Production - from 1968 to 1975 with about 200 examples produced. 75 of which were built by SAMAS.

## Other characteristics

* Length – 3240 mm
* Width – 1480 mm

# Mount Stephen

Mount Stephen, 3,199 m (10,495 ft), is a mountain located in the Kicking Horse River Valley of Yoho National Park, 1⁄2 km east of Field, British Columbia, Canada. The mountain was named in 1886 for George Stephen, the first president of the Canadian Pacific Railway. The mountain is mainly composed of shales and dolomites from the Cambrian Period, some 550 million years ago. The Stephen Formation, a stratigraphical unit of the Western Canadian Sedimentary Basin was first described at the mountain and was named for it. Stephen has a subpeak known as Stephen SE1, at the end of a 1 km ridge, 132° from the main peak, visible from Lake O'Hara.

## Climbing

The first ascent was made on September 9, 1887 by James. J. McArthur and his assistant T. Riley, which was made even more difficult by the surveying equipment they also carried with them. Unfortunately for them, smoke from forest fires limited visibility from the top. Beginning at 4:30 am, it took them four hours to pierce dense forest to reach tree line. After another three hours, the final rocks were reached which bore the inscription "Hill, Whatley, Ross, September 6, 1886". Above the rocks, they had to navigate an ice couloir and a knife-edged arete before reaching the summit. Sometime between this ascent and one in 1892, an estimated 200,000 cubic feet (5,700 m$^3$) of rock had fallen in the upper section of the mountain, making the climb notably easier.
The main route (a scramble) ascends slopes on the southwest face but requires much route finding and the final section of 125 m (410 ft) to the top is rated difficult. A cornice on the summit may prevent parties from reaching the top so if in doubt of conditions, attempts should wait until August. The route also passes through a fossil bed and thus requires a special park permit to be in the area. The elevation gain is 1,920 m (6,299 ft).
For rock climbers, a route on the north ridge is rated III 5.7 with generally good rock formations composed mainly of quartzite.

## Climate

Based on the Köppen climate classification, Mount Stephen is located in a subarctic climate zone with cold, snowy winters, and mild summers. Temperatures can drop below -20 °C with wind chill factors below -30 °C. Weather conditions during winter make Mount Stephen one of the better places in the Rockies for ice climbing. Precipitation runoff from Mount Stephen drains into the Kicking Horse River.

# Buzzy Kerbox

Burton "Buzzy" Kerbox (born 1956) is an American surfer, photographer and model. He is best known for co-developing tow-in surfing with Laird Hamilton, Dave Kalama, and a handful of other surfers in the mid-1990s.

## Early life

Kerbox was born in 1956 in Indianapolis, Indiana. His family moved to Kailua, in eastern Oahu, in 1965.

## Surfing renown

Shortly after having moved to Hawaii, in 1966, Kerbox began surfing. He was ranked in the top ten in 1977, 1978 and 1980. He won the 1978 World Cup at Sunset Beach and the 1980 Surfabout in Sydney. His development of tow-in surfing, along with fellow surfers such as Dave Kalama and Laird Hamilton, paved the way for surfers worldwide to catch waves which were previously thought to be out of reach, either because they were far from natural breaks like beaches and coasts or because they were too big. The first few tow-in sessions were done using Kerbox's 15-foot Zodiac motorboat. In more recent years, Kerbox has been an advocate for standup paddle boarding, also known as SUP.

## Tow-in surfing

Surfers are towed out to a breaking wave via a PWC (personal watercraft, such as a Jet Ski) or a helicopter. The surfer holds a line attached to the motorized vehicle. They are then set into place, at which point they drop the line and surf the wave. Prior to the development of the tow-in method, surfers were generally unable to catch waves topping more than 20 feet. With the advent of the tow-in method, surfers were able to catch waves two and three times that height. Driver and surfer typically trade roles during a surfing session. Tow-in is thought to have revolutionized big wave surfing. Kerbox and other professional surfers were featured in Susan Casey's 2011 non-fiction volume The Wave.

## Modeling career

In 1977, famed photographer Bruce Weber saw a photograph of Kerbox in a surfing magazine and persuaded him to come to New York City to try his hand at modeling. Kerbox subsequently modeled in major national advertising campaigns for Levi's, Ralph Lauren, Reyn Spooner, and United Airlines.

## Personal life

Kerbox has three sons with his ex-wife Kirstin Kerbox. He is married to Barbara Kraft.
