Alberta Hunter (April 1, 1895 – October 17, 1984) was an internationally knownAmericanbluessinger and songwriter who had a successful career from early 1920s to the late 1950s, was a contemporary of Ethel Waters and Bessie Smith, and then decided to stop from performing to work as a nurse. In 1977, after 20 years working as a nurse and having to retire, Hunter made a successful comeback and resumed her popular singing career in her 80s until the time of her death.
Early life
Hunter was born in Memphis, Tennessee, to Laura Peterson, who worked as a maid in a Memphis brothel, and Charles Hunter, a Pullman porter. Hunter said she never knew her father. She attended Grant Elementary school, off Auction Street, which she called Auction School, in Memphis.
Hunter came from a difficult background. Her father left when she was a child and to support the family Hunter’s mother worked as a servant in a whorehouse in Memphis, although she married again in 1906. Hunter was not happy with her new family and left for Chicago, Illinois, around the age of 11, in the hopes of becoming a paid singer; she had heard that it paid 10 dollars an hour. Instead of finding a job as a singer she had to earn money by working at a boardinghouse that paid six dollars a week as well as room and board. Hunter's mother left Memphis and moved in with her soon afterwards.
Alberta is bounded by the provinces of British Columbia to the west and Saskatchewan to the east, the Northwest Territories to the north, and the US state of Montana to the south. Alberta is one of three Canadian provinces and territories to border only a single US state and one of only two landlocked provinces. It has a predominantly Humid continental climate, but seasonal temperature average swings are smaller than to areas further east, with winters being warmed by occasional chinook winds bringing sudden warming which moderates average temperatures.
Alberta's capital Edmonton is near the geographic centre of the province and is the primary supply and service hub for Canada's crude oil, oil sands (Athabasca oil sands) and other northern resource industries.
Unplugged is a live album by Eric Clapton released in 1992. It was recorded for the MTV Unplugged series and includes both the hit song "Tears in Heaven" and a heavily reworked acoustic version of "Layla". The album won three Grammy Awards in 1993 and sold 26 million copies worldwide.
Background
Clapton performed the show in front of a small audience on 16 January 1992 at Bray Film Studios in Windsor, England. In addition to the final album tracks, the performance included early versions of "My Father's Eyes" and "Circus Left Town" along with "Worried Life Blues" and a version of "Rollin' and Tumblin'". Clapton played Martin 000-42 acoustic guitars for much of the performance, and in 2004, one of the guitars sold for 791,500 USD (£ 434.400) in auction. Commenting on the popularity of the album in his 2007 autobiography, Clapton wishes the reader to understand the great emotional toll he experienced around that time, and suggests that they visit the grave of his son Conor in Ripley to do so.
Alberta (Minister of Education) v Canadian Copyright Licensing Agency (Access Copyright)
Alberta (Minister of Education) v Canadian Copyright Licensing Agency (Access Copyright), 2012 SCC 37, is a Supreme Court of Canada case that considered whether the photocopying of textbook excerpts by teachers, on their own initiative, to distribute to students as part of course materials is fair dealing pursuant to the provisions of the Copyright Act. The Supreme Court, in a 5/4 split, concluded that the Copyright Board made several errors in its analysis of the "fairness factors". Thus, it allowed the appeal and remitted the matter back to the Copyright Board for reconsideration.
Background and facts
Access Copyright represents authors and publishers of literary and artistic works. The entity administers the reproduction of such works by issuing licences and collecting and distributing royalties to affiliated copyright owners. When licensing or royalty agreements with users of the printed works cannot be reached, Access Copyright has the option to apply to the Copyright Board (the "Board") to certify a royalty in a form of a tariff.

Alberta 4K - Snowy Peaks and Frozen Lakes Showcasing Winter Serenity - Meditation Relaxing Music
In Alberta, winter unfolds like a scene from a postcard, blending rugged wilderness with serene, snow-laden beauty. The Canadian Rockies, crowned with glistening white peaks, offer a magical backdrop for activities like skiing in Banff or dog sledding through Jasper National Park. Frozen lakes, such as Lake Louise, shimmer under the pale winter sun, inviting skaters to glide across their glassy surfaces. The quiet forests, blanketed in snow, create a hushed wonderland, while the occasional sight of the northern lights dancing across the night sky turns the season into an unforgettable spectacle. Alberta’s winter is where adventure meets tranquility.

Alberta Hunter (April 1, 1895 – October 17, 1984) was an internationally knownAmericanbluessinger and songwriter who had a successful career from early 1920s to the late 1950s, was a contemporary of Ethel Waters and Bessie Smith, and then decided to stop from performing to work as a nurse. In 1977, after 20 years working as a nurse and having to retire, Hunter made a successful comeback and resumed her popular singing career in her 80s until the time of her death.
Early life
Hunter was born in Memphis, Tennessee, to Laura Peterson, who worked as a maid in a Memphis brothel, and Charles Hunter, a Pullman porter. Hunter said she never knew her father. She attended Grant Elementary school, off Auction Street, which she called Auction School, in Memphis.
Hunter came from a difficult background. Her father left when she was a child and to support the family Hunter’s mother worked as a servant in a whorehouse in Memphis, although she married again in 1906. Hunter was not happy with her new family and left for Chicago, Illinois, around the age of 11, in the hopes of becoming a paid singer; she had heard that it paid 10 dollars an hour. Instead of finding a job as a singer she had to earn money by working at a boardinghouse that paid six dollars a week as well as room and board. Hunter's mother left Memphis and moved in with her soon afterwards.
I've seen the lights of gay Broadway, Old Market Street down by the Frisco Bay, I've strolled the Prado, I've gambled on the Bourse; The seven wonders of the world I've seen, And many are the places I have been, Take my advice, folks, and see Beale Street first! You'll see pretty browns in beautiful gowns, You'll see tailor-mades and hand-me-downs, You'll meet honest men, and pick-pockets skilled, You'll find that business never ceases 'til somebody gets killed! If Beale Street could talk, if Beale Street could talk, Married men would have to take their beds and walk, Except one or two who never drink booze, And the blind man on the corner singing "Beale Street Blues!" I'd rather be there than any place I know, I'd rather be there than any place I know, It's gonna take a sergeant for to make me go! I'm goin' to the river, maybe by and by, Yes, I'm goin' to the river, maybe by and by,
