For their 1982 album, Hot Space, the band seemed to take inspiration from the design of Simon for the cover, which features the four bandmates in a four-colored grid. The musical toy had fans in Queen, the rock band led by Freddie Mercury. According to Baer, none of them took off because their noises lacked the charm of the four-note bugle. They titled their octagon-shaped device Copycat. Among the knock-offs, only Tiger Electronics had a subtle sense of humor about taking obvious inspiration from Simon. Atari, which produced the Touch Me arcade game Baer and Morrison used as inspiration, released that same game in a handheld version. A device called Einstein was rectangular instead of circular but had a similar layout. Milton Bradley found that there was no shortage of devices looking to capitalize on the Simon phenomenon. More than 10 million copies were sold by the end of 1982. Though there was no connection between the movie and the game, the popularity of Close Encounters helped raise awareness for Simon, which exhibited a similar pattern. During the finale, the aliens communicate using musical notes and lights on their spaceship. The year before Simon went on sale, director Steven Spielberg released Close Encounters of the Third Kind, starring Richard Dreyfuss as a man who establishes a relationship with extraterrestrial life. Simon got a sales boost from Close Encounters of the Third Kind. (Just a few years prior, the chips had mainly been used for handheld calculators.) The original Simon was also big, taking up considerable space on a tabletop and devouring multiple D batteries. But people were enamored with computer-based diversions, with many pointing to the novelty of the microprocessor chip as a key reason the game was so popular. Unlike video game systems, Simon could only do one thing. Simon originally had a retail price of $25, which amounts to about $92 in today’s dollars. Milton Bradley ultimately put Simon on allocation, meaning that stores received only a portion of their orders until they could ramp up production to meet demand. One store sold through 1000 of them in just five days. That winter, several stores reported a Simon shortage and long lines of people hoping to get a crack at a new shipment. Making a splashy debut at the trendy Studio 54 nightclub in New York on May 15, 1978, Simon quickly made an impression with adults and found itself hastily added to many holiday wish lists. Simon was the hottest toy of the 1978 holiday season. Milton Bradley licensed the idea, and Simon (named after the children’s game Simon Says) was released in 1978. Baer selected the four notes played by a bugle. Crucially, the four tones they selected were much more pleasant to the ear. (It was only fitting, as Atari had taken a cue from the Magnavox Odyssey to create their arcade hit Pong.) Along with programmer Lenny Cope, Baer and Morrison worked for nearly two years on a handheld version originally titled Follow Me that had four buttons. Using Touch Me as a jumping-off point, they decided to try and craft a better version. While they liked the premise-players had to repeat a musical sequence-they felt the execution was lacking and the sounds were unpleasant. He and Marvin Glass employee Howard Morrison had seen it at a trade show in 1976. Working as an independent consultant for the toy firm Marvin Glass and Associates, Baer was drawn to an Atari arcade game called Touch Me. Years later, Baer would have another idea. The system would become the Magnavox Odyssey, which went on sale in 1972. In 1971, Baer and his employer, Sanders Associates, filed for and later received the first-ever video game patent. Baer visualized a system that could be connected to a television to play games on the screen. In the 1960s, German refugee and former World War II Army intelligence officer Ralph Baer was a military engineering contractor who decided to moonlight as a video games pioneer. Simon was invented by Ralph Baer, the “Father of Video Games.” For more on the game’s history, keep reading. (Or frustrating, depending on one’s perspective.) Simon was a hit upon release and has remained a pop culture fixture for over 40 years. As the patterns grow more complex, the game becomes more challenging. To play the game, users must memorize a series of tones and lights on the four-button surface, then repeat them in order. Not exactly a board game but not quite a video game, it straddled the line between the past and future of recreational diversions. Introduced in 1978, Simon represented an evolution in tabletop gaming. So, he was careful each day to use his body language and bearing as productive signals to his men. Shackleton knew that in a crisis the people he was responsible for took all kinds of cues from his presence, including his voice, energy, and whether he appeared confident, focused, and positive. Lesson Two: Show up in service to your mission. Hiring your team is more than filling individual positions you are trying to build a whole that is greater than the sum of its parts. In ongoing crises, resumes tell us less about the right fit between a person and a position than attitude and character. Leaders today can learn from the importance Shackleton placed on assembling his team and how he did this. Shackleton understood that in the life-threatening conditions of the Antarctic, he needed people with optimism, perseverance, cohesion, adaptability, a sense of humour, and dedication to mission. Shackleton had hundreds-perhaps thousands-of applicants to choose from, and he accepted and rejected men based largely on these attributes, always looking to create an ensemble of crew members: an integrated cast of personalities, traits, and strengths that would work well together under conditions of great uncertainty and high stakes. Lesson One: In times of great volatility, hire for attitude train for skill. Here are some of the most important lessons that thousands of leaders have drawn from Shackleton and how he navigated the rolling crises of being trapped on the ice off the coast of Antarctica for almost two years. In scores of virtual seminars, talented men and women from many countries (who had read at least a condensed version of the 'Endurance' story), talked about what they intended to take away from Shackleton’s leadership as they tried to navigate their people and organisations through a world convulsed by crises. mayors, public safety officials, business executives, philanthropic heads, artistic leaders, teachers, and scientists. Healthcare leaders wanted to learn from his story. This utterly gripping book, based on firsthand accounts of crew members and interviews with survivors, describes how the men survived, how they lived together in camps on the ice for 17 months until they reached land, how they were attacked by sea leopards, had to kill their beloved dogs whom they could no longer feed, the diseases which they developed (an operation to amputate the foot of one member of the crew was carried out on the ice), and the extraordinary indefatigability of the men and their lasting civility towards one another in the most adverse conditions conceivable.Then in early 2020, the Covid pandemic hit, initiating an unprecedented global health crisis, followed quickly in many countries by a widespread economic crisis, a political crisis, and then a social crisis, as the issues of racial inequality, broad-based vulnerability, and related forms of injustice became more prevalent and pressing.īy mid-2020, it seemed that everywhere I turned I encountered Shackleton. For five months Shackleton and his men, drifting on ice packs, were castaways on one of the most savage regions of the world. In October 1915, still half a continent away from their intended base, the ship was trapped, then crushed in ice. The object of the expedition was to cross the Antarctic overland. In 1914 Sir Ernest Shackleton and a crew of 27 men set sail for the South Atlantic on board a ship called the Endurance. The same year she worked with big production movies like ABC series Of 'Kings and Prophets' as the Witch of Endor, PBS' Mercy Street, and movie 'The Hippopotamus. She graduated from the Studio Herman Teirlick in Antwerp, Belgium. By 2016 she was already a star with experience in all fields such as Movies, TV Series, and Theaters. Actress who has gained fame for her career in Hollywood film, including in the 2017 film The Meyerowitz Stories. Lyne Renée (real name Line van Wambeke, born ) is a Belgian actress. Moving on in 2011 she mode to London and starred in The River Lone at the Jermyn Street Theatre, Lyne also appeared in the TV series Strike Back a Parade's End. Later in 2006, she moved to Los Angeles and then appeared in movies such as The Box Collector (2008) and The Hessem Affair (2009) - she received good public accommodation for a true event-based movie when US-occupied Germany shortly after the end of World War II.
(In my SuperDeck review, Greg explained why he chose the Tascam as his base model: First, it is a recent design from the mid-to-late 1990s, for which replacement parts are still available directly from Tascam second, because of parts availability, it is a safer bet to warranty for two years-as every one of Greg’s decks are-than a rebuilt 50-to-60-year-old studio machine from Ampex or Studer third, it has all DC motors, which are more reliable and speed-stable than the very large AC motors in studio decks, and a very efficient tape transport with full-logic control and fourth, it is compact compared to giant studio machines, fits on the average audiophile rack, and looks like a part of the system rather than a huge outlier.) By the time you buy it, however, the entire deck has been refurbished-all electronic parts, connectors, tape heads, and transport mechanisms rebuilt or replaced, all playback circuits updated, EQ precisely dialed in to the IEC standard, and the chassis itself refashioned in sturdy, mu-metal-shielded billet-aluminum. Like the Ultima4 that preceded it (and like the SuperDeck, for that matter), the $34,500 Ultima5 (add another $6500 for the outboard OPS-DC power supply) starts life as a Tascam BR-20. At $90k for the playback-only unit ($106k for the record/playback version), it was also very expensive and with three chassis (not counting the stand) fairly sizable, to boot.Ĭomes now the latest version of Greg’s “standard” machine-the single-chassis, 15ips, playback-only Ultima Series tape deck, iterations of which Beron has been perfecting for over a decade. Loaded with bespoke parts (including ultra-expensive, custom-made resistors, capacitors, and gold-plated copper circuit boards) and equipped with a separate outboard EQ box (a first for Greg), separate power supply, and an optional, gel-damped, billet-aluminum stand to lower vibration to a minim, it was a front-end masterpiece. At the time, it was the most realistic playback device I’d heard. A bit less than two years ago, Greg Beron came out with a statement tape machine, the United Home Audio SuperDeck, which I reviewed in the September 2021 issue of TAS. However, I aborted the installation, so I cannot definitively state that it will not ask for email later.)
