Setup

var callback = function() {
    //console.log('callback');
       //deferred.resolve();
        };
    var payload = {
      somekey: 'some value'
    };
    var body;
    var handle;
    
    jQuery(function() {
      $(window).bind('my-event', callback);
      PubSub.subscribe('my-event', callback)
      $.subscribe('my-event', callback);
      handle = Events.subscribe('my-event', callback);
      App.subscribe('my-event', callback);
      amplify.subscribe('my-event', callback);
      Spine.bind('my-event', callback);
    });

Teardown


    //$(window).unbind('my-event');
    //PubSub.unsubscribe('my-event')
    //$.unsubscribe('my-event');
    //Events.unsubscribe(handle);
    //App.unsubscribe('my-event');
    //amplify.unsubscribe('my-event');
    //Spine.unbind('my-event');
