Classical music: After 20 years, the Wisconsin Baroque Ensemble still delivers performances to relish of Baroque vocal and instrumental music | November 28, 2017
Here is a special posting, a review written by frequent guest critic and writer for this blog, John W. Barker. Barker (below) is an emeritus professor of Medieval history at the University of Wisconsin-Madison. He also is a well-known classical music critic who writes for Isthmus and the American Record Guide, and who hosts an early music show once a month on Sunday morning on WORT-FM 89.9 FM. For years, he served on the Board of Advisors for the Madison Early Music Festival and frequently gives pre-concert lectures in Madison. He also took the performance photographs.
By John W. Barker
On Nov. 26, 1997, the Wisconsin Baroque Ensemble gave its first public performance.
On Sunday afternoon, exactly 20 years later to the very date, the group (below) presented a concert at St. Andrew's Episcopal Church in honor of this distinguished anniversary.
This ensemble is the longest-lasting, still-continuing group in Madison devoted to early music. Despite the arrival three years later of the Madison Early Music Festival, the WBE gave the very first start to building an audience here for this literature. (You can hear a typical concert in the lengthy YouTube video at the bottom.)
Working under Sunday afternoon time pressures, the group offered a particularly rich and diversified program, employing a total of seven performers: one singer, mezzo-soprano Consuelo Sañudo, with instrumentalists Brett Lipschutz (traverso flute), Monica Steger (recorder, traverse flute, harpsichord), Sigrun Paust (recorder), Eric Miller (viola da gamba), Max Yount (harpsichord), and founder Anton TenWolde (cello).
There were nine items on the program.
Sañudo (below) had in some ways the amplest solo role, singing five pieces: a cantata aria by Luigi Rossi; a long cantata by Michel Pignolet de Monteclair; a late villancico by Francisco de Santiago; and two particularly lovely songs by Jacopo Peri.
All these she sang with her usual devotion to textual as well as musical subtleties—making it a little sad that the provision of printed texts could not have been managed.
One solo sonata by Benedetto Marcello was for recorder and continuo, while one double sonata (below), a particularly delightful one by Georg Philipp Telemann for two recorders, and another one by the obscure Jacob Friedrich Kleinknecht rounded out these ingredients.
Along with continuo assignments, Eric Miller (below) played an extensive viol da gamba suite by Marin Marais.
Active in his own varying assignments, Lipschutz (below) bubbled with skill and charm in a set of variations for flute on a Scots folk melody, taken from a published collection credited to a mysterious Alexander Munro.
The program pattern was generally familiar, with each of the performers having a say in the choice of selections, notably their particular solos. In this sense, the group acts as a collective, as TenWolde likes to say, rather than an operation exclusively shaped by him.
As it has been defined and employed over two decades now, this organizational format has given so much for both performers and audiences to relish.
But, to be sure, there is more to come. So we will check back in another 20 years.

I second Ronnie's comment. In the 1970's and 80's, well before WBE was founded there were quite a few active early music players. Tom Boehm, Lex and Kathy Silbiger, Jess Anderson, Irmgard Bittar, just to name a few.
Comment by Anton TenWolde — November 28, 2017 @ 4:25 pm
Yes, indeed, it was a wonderful concert, with unfamiliar literature. Here's to 20 years +.
I beg to add to John Barker's history of early music-playing in Madison. He writes, "This ensemble is the longest-lasting, still-continuing group in Madison devoted to early music." He's correct, but I remember back in the 1970's, when I was taking recorder lessons from the great Bernice Kliebard, and met several other recorder, krummhorn and viol players at the Unitarian Church weekly to practice, Irmgard Bittar organized a group of performers.
Yes, we were amateurs, but we loved what we did and gave a few concerts to boot. A few years ago, I came upon a performance of the new and old Madison faithful in, of all places, the Capitol rotunda.

Codex Gigas
home > journal > codex gigas
The Codex Gigas is an illustrated medieval manuscript that is also known as The Devil's Bible. It is also the biggest surviving European manuscript. It is currently located the National Library in Stockholm.
The book is known for its enormous size and the large illustration of the devil in the middle. The book contains a medieval version of the Bible. The book also contains two historical texts by Flavius Josephus, an Encyclopaedia of the middle ages by Isidore, a Chronicle of Bohemia by Cosmas from Prague, medical texts and a number of other short texts.
Interesting Facts About Codex Gigas
It is believed to be the world's largest surviving European manuscript.
The book weighs 165 lbs and has pages that are 3 feet long and 20 inches wide.
The Devil is shown alone between two pillars with his arms held up in the large Devil portrait.
It also includes a full portrait of the Heavenly City on the opposite page of the Devil portrait.
The book contains a calendar page that includes the names of saints.
It contains circular illustrations of Heaven and Earth.
It has a portrait of Flavius Josephus.
It is written by a single scribe.
It was thrown from a castle window during a fire and injured a person.
Single Scribe and Devil Legend
The Codex Gigas was made at a monastery in Bohemia (now the Czech Republic) in the late 13th century. It is believed to have been written solely by one very dedicated scribe using a small script called carolingian minuscule. This would have taken a very long time. The National Library of Sweden estimates that it could have taken up to 20 years for the scribe to complete the book.
This video sites some legends and rumors about the book that have not been confirmed. This includes the legend that the book was written with the help of the devil. The National Library of Sweden says the origin of this legend is unknown and is "clearly without any basis in truth."
Surving War and Fire
The Codex Gigas has survived fires and wars. The book's journey is also described in the video above by Mystery History. The book was taken from Rudolf II's castle in Prague in 1954 during the Thirty Year Wars. It survived a fire in the royal castle in Stockholm in 1697 by being thrown out of a window. The book hit and injured a person standing below the window. It would not feel good to be hit by a falling 165 lb. book.
The National Library of Sweden says, "The Devil's Bible was rescued from the flames by throwing it out of a window, whereupon the leaves fluttered away and are still missing today, and the tome itself apparently injured a bystander who was underneath it – at least, if we are to believe Johann Erichsons, vicar of the German Church in Stockholm, whose narrative was published in Hamburgische Beytrage fifty years later."
National Library in Stockholm - The library site is the richest source for the Codex Gigas. You can browse the manuscript online. It also includes photographs of the book and explains the history and contents of the massive book.
Wikipedia: Codex Gigas - The Wikipedia entry for Codex Gigas provides an overview of the book with a detailed description and photographs.
Atlas Obscura: Codex Gigas: Atlas Obscura explores the concept of a single scribe having written the Codex Gigas. The article also links to a longer feature.

Problems with bills, customer service dominate complaints to telecoms Ombudsman
Problems with bills, customer service dominate complaints to telecoms Ombudsman Featured
By	Peter Dinham
Image stuart miles, FreeDigitalPhotos.net
More than 30,000 consumers and small businesses complained about their phone and Internet services - with many complaining about problems with their bills and the quality of customer service - over a three month period to the end of September this year, according to the latest complaints report from the Telecomunications Industry Ombudsman.
The TIO's latest report for the period 1 July to 30 September 2019 reveals a total of 32,801 complaints were lodged for the quarter - a 6.3% jump over the level of complaints in the same period in 2018.
Ombudsman Judi Jones said consumers are telling the TIO about problems with their bill and customers services.
"Consumers are telling us problems with their bill and the customer service they are receiving continue to be problematic.Delays with getting connected and no working phone or internet service were also recorded as key issues. Additionally, the problems we're seeing with debt management relating to mobile phone services is concerning.
"This quarter's result shows a slight increase of 6.3 per cent against the same period in 2018. It's too early to tell if this signals an upward trend of complaints, but we will be monitoring this closely, along with the telecommunications industry, government and regulators.
"I'm pleased to deliver the transition to quarterly reporting of phone and internet complaints. This regular reporting cycle will present a timely data snapshot and a deeper granularity on the issues impacting telecommunications consumers," Jones said.
The TIO report drew comment from the Telecommunications lobby group Communications Alliance with CEO John Stanton saying it was "positive to see that 84% of complaints to the TIO were resolved on the first referral to providers" but noting that "there is always room for improvement"
"It is pleasing that complaints to the TIO fell in the most recent quarter, compared to the previous two quarters," said Stanton.
"This aligns with the trend in the ACMA's RKR report published yesterday and the data in the TIO's annual report.
"There is always room for improvement. Industry will continue working with the TIO and regulators to improve the customer experience," concluded Stanton.

Pop-Up Opera is a touring opera company aiming to broaden the appeal of the art form. This week, Wednesday 31 May 2017, Domenico Cimarosa's Il Matrimonio Segreto popped-up at the Geffrye Museum, directed by Max Hoehn, music director Berrak Dyer, with Tom Asher, Emily Blanch, Peter Kirk, Chiara Vinci, Joseph Kennedy, and Vivien Conacher.
Cimarosa wrote some eighty operas in his lifetime but only one, Il Matrimonio Segreto, having received the longest encore in operatic history, is still performed with any regularity. Compared to his more famous contemporaries Cimarosa's composition can sound bland but the inventive melodies and sparkling ensembles are "full of sunshine" and wit.
Directed by Max Hoehn, a recent nominee at the 2016 International Opera Awards, Il Matrimonio Segreto is an anarchic Dramma Giocoso, a comedy of errors based on the play The Clandestine Marriage which was in turn inspired by Hogarth's Marriage a-la-mode.
Geronimo (Joseph Kennedy) is attempting to hive off his daughter Elisetta (Emily Blanch) to the Count Robinson (Tom Asher). Fidalma (Vivien Conacher), his sister, holds a torch for Paulino (Peter Kirk), his secretary, who has secretly married Carolina (Chiara Vinci) Geronimo's other daughter. What could possibly go wrong?
With little more than four chairs and an empty room Max Hoehn crafted a sharp ensemble piece – a comic delight. The anarchic story lending itself perfectly to his free-wheeling and flippant interpretation. Emily Blanch's tweedy dowd and Vivien Conacher's titillatingly sassy aunt were particularly delightful. The piquant captions (by Max Hoehn and Harry Percival) were an art form in themselves; and who knew dipsy-doodle was a word?
It was a pity that, for all the nimble playing and charismatic singing, the savage acoustic killed dynamic nuance; but for all it's rough edges this was a hugely entertaining evening.
Pop-Up Opera's production of Cimarosa's Il Matrimonio Segreto is touring until 30 July 2017 to venues from Exmoor to Essex, including the Mill Hill Music Festival (20 June) and the Old Divinity School Cambridge (8 July), full details from the Pop-Up Opera website.

During my first semester in college, I picked up a book from the student bookstore called Majoring in Success. I was thrilled to discover that the author's primary ingredient for success after graduation was knowing exactly what you want your career to look like before the end of first semester freshman year. If this was the one ingredient I needed to be truly successful, I had it. I knew exactly what I wanted to do and exactly how I was going to get there and I pursued that vision aggressively for all four years of college.
I majored in Journalism in college with an intense focus on broadcasting. After graduation, I planned to send out my reel or audition "tape" to several small towns across America and see which one bit. I would cut my hair, buy some bright-colored pantsuits from Lord and Taylor and start off as a weekend anchor somewhere in the middle of Idaho or South Dakota. I would work as hard and fast I could to become the next Diane Sawyer. Or Oprah. Or even David Muir. Whichever option would have me, I would gladly have it.
It turns out I wanted different things as a college graduate than I'd wanted as fresh-faced 18-year-old. In spite of all the hard work I'd done to make my teenage dreams come true, being Oprah would be really, really hard. While I'd still do her job in a heartbeat, I found myself anxious about the work it would take to become her. I wasn't so sure I was willing to put in 100+ hours/week until "success" arrived.
When I visualized my happiest life, I didn't see a specific type of career as much as saw myself with time to enjoy my surroundings and have a family. Up until senior year of college, I'd been asking myself what I wanted to be when I grew up. What I started asking myself instead was how I wanted to feel. What do I want it to feel like to be in my own life?
The career I was pursuing - rather, the way I planned on pursuing it - didn't seem to make room for any of the feelings I hoped to manifest. I was only 22, but I already knew I wanted a life beyond work, work, work. Having a family was more important to me than any dream I could think of, and just as soon as I realized this, something funny happened.
I wrote a story on a friend's yoga career that ended up in The Boston Globe. The story included a photo I took rather casually, but my friend's friend saw it and wanted to hire me to help me photograph products from her jewelry line (still following? Good.) The friend called me and asked if I could help her and I said "yes" even though the photo she saw was one of the only professional ones I'd ever taken (this leads me to one of my favorite pieces of business advice: say yes, figure it out later!) The friend wanted to pay me more than I'd ever made on an hourly basis to do the job. I thought, if I can just get a few more clients like this, I can start my own photography business!
It was a great thought, but there were a few things I wasn't considering. One: photography was one of my passions but I was leaving bunch of my other skills on the table by trying to turn it into my sole pursuit, and two: I was living in Boston, one of the most expensive cities in the continental US. I would need a whole lot more clients to start my own business and the clock (read: my inexpensive, one-of-a-kind sublet) was ticking. Finally, I ran out of time and came home to Houston, Texas to regroup and determine what I would do next.
Shortly after coming home, I landed a salaried position working for my mom's then-web design and development company. I'd learned a few things about websites from my time working with the jewelry company and felt an instant passion toward my new line of work. Still, I craved the autonomy that I knew would come with being a business owner. I worked 40 hours/week for my mom and spent the time between 5 PM and bedtime hustling and building up my own expertise. I vigorously researched web design and development and worked as hard as I could to hone my skills in all things websites, social media, branding and copywriting. After two years, I still wasn't where I needed to be to "jump" and start on my own, so I took a job that had more flexibility and continued working full time while pursuing my own web design and social media marketing business. After three more years, I landed the biggest client I'd ever had, left my job and never looked back.
It took me six years to bring my post-grad dream to life, and every year brings new challenges, demands and adventures. I now work proudly with clients who are building or continuing to build their own dreams by showing them what I've learned and helping them get where they're going through my services.
In my near-decade of experience, I've worked with published authors, super lawyers, work-at-home-mom entrepreneurs, musicians, artists and everyone in between. I work from home in the Heights neighborhood of Houston where I live with my husband, toddler daughter and gigantic golden doodle, Hampton.
I now run a business in which I ask my clients what I asked myself at 22: how do you want to feel each day? What do you want your mark on the world to be and what does that mark look like? What do you want to say and to whom do you wish to speak? With each client, I start with these questions, and from there we build the website, social media marketing plan or portfolio that helps them share their message, connect with their ideal audience and continue making their visions a reality.

or special items . . .
Did you know that about three out of ten designers are either self-employed, or do freelance work in addition to holding a salaried job in design? The latter is true for me, as I've been happily employed in Broadcast Design for over 25 years. This website showcases a sampling from those decades of creative concepts and design work, something to open discussion about collaborating on your special projects.
Together we can analyze, plan and create visual solutions to communications problems, then decide the most effective way of getting a message across in print and electronic media—using a variety of methods, such as color, type, illustration, photography, animation, and various print and layout techniques.
I'll help you develop the overall layouts and production designs for magazines, newspapers, journals, and other publications, such as promotional displays, packaging, product marketing brochures, individual signs or complete signage systems, internet web pages, interactive media, and multimedia projects.
If you have problems with your current creative from time to time, I'd like to hear from you. Whether it's to discuss some new designs, or just editing the old templates/systems you have in-house (and finding ways to save money), please don't hesitate to ask for help. It's what I do.
In my younger days, absorbing the Ohio country farm-life, I aspired to become a fine artist—despite some doubts about the income and lifestyle. Those "realities" began shifting my passion toward design and all things creative in the business world. Working in Ohio, I soon found my way to The Ohio State University, and later The University of Akron, for more commercial art and design training. A number of key contacts—professors, senior designers, CEOs—encouraged me to stay in a field of creativity.
The work of fellow designers has left many positive impressions, giving me a base to find and create my own "impromptu" STYLE . . . or LOOK. This passion for new looks and different designs drives me to pursue the trends of both past and present. I analyze a project from many different perspectives, exploring facets such as the lighting and shapes being used. The design concepts tend to expand, or deepen, as I build from past experiences and utilize various tools in Adobe Photoshop.
I think of it this way: we love to make YOU look good. Finding ways to develop that special image or brand is what I do. The goal is always to build a design that's unique at its first impression—with plenty of "WOW!" factor.
About 90% of my work is done with the use of design tools like Photoshop, Freehand and Indesign. I embrace the ability to thrive in a fast-paced environment—frequent updates, short deadlines, multiple projects—and have fun!

About the Register Data
Historical performance data for professional leagues (affiliated minor leagues, independent minor leagues, fall/winter leagues, and other international leagues) is provided by and licensed from 24-7 Baseball and Chadwick Baseball Bureau. It incorporates the work of many stalwart baseball researchers, including Cliff Blau, Art Cantu, Frank Hamilton, Reed Howard, Kevin Johnson, Bob McConnell, Jack Morris, and Ray Nemec, as well as members of the Minor Leagues Committee of the Society for American Baseball Research.
Perhaps most importantly, it builds upon the seminal work of Ed Washuta, who magnanimously provided the framework to make the whole thing possible.
Minor league Total Zone (Rctch&Rtz, 2005-2009) data provided by Baseballprojection.com and Minorleaguesplits.com.
About the Negro League Data
This data comes from two sources. 1) The Negro Leagues Researchers and Authors Group put together by the National Baseball Hall of Fame and Museum thanks to a grant provided by Major League Baseball. 2) Gary Ashwill and his collaborators.
The Hall of Fame data is found for the years 1920-1948 and the Ashwill data is found from 1904-1919. Many statistics are incomplete due to ongoing research and/or limitations in published sources, so please be assured that we are aware there are issues with the data and will continue to work with our data providers to improve the data that appears here.
The Hall of Fame dataset
This data is constructed from the best available information as provided by Larry Lester, Wayne Stivers and Dick Clark of the Negro Leagues Researchers and Authors Group. It contains data culled from newspaper boxscores, covering league sanctioned games from 1920 to 1948, which was produced for a study sponsored by Major League Baseball and the National Baseball Hall of Fame and Museum. It reflects totals as compiled by the NLRAG up to 2006. As new credible information is continually unearthed, these numbers will continue to change.
Baseball-Reference and the National Baseball Hall of Fame and Museum would like to acknowledge Major League Baseball for funding this study, along with the Negro Leagues Researchers and Authors Group for their extensive efforts to collect the raw data and construct the most comprehensive database of Negro Leagues Baseball statistics. Under the direction of Larry Lester, Wayne Stivers and Dick Clark, this database is the largest dataset ever made publically available and we wish to express our gratitude for all their efforts to help rebuild this lost statistical history.
The Ashwill Negro Leagues Database
Playing statistics and biographical data on the Negro leagues (all pre-1920) and early Latin American professional baseball is licensed from and provided by the Negro Leagues Database, a project organized by Gary Ashwill with the participation of many historians of Negro league and Latin American baseball.
The database is a work in progress, and will include more seasons as development continues. It appears in its original form at Seamheads.com.
Playing statistics and biographical data for this portion of our dataset (The Negro Leagues Database) are all copyright 2013 by Gary Ashwill. All rights reserved.
Note that our records are missing thousands of players who played in the Negro Leagues for minor league teams, independent teams, barnstorming teams or even Negro major league teams. We will bring their records to light as soon as suitable records are available for those players.

Agent Orange study gives impetus to another studies
Thousands of small white boxes full of samples of blood, serum and urine are all that remain of a 25-year,$143 million (107 million EUR) program to find out if the herbicide Agent Orange made Vietnam War veterans sick.
But while the Agent Orange study is over, government researchers say that collection of 86,000 biological samples and medical records is far too valuable to just be thrown away. They say it might be just the beginning of what could be learned from the Air Force's vast collection of biological samples and medical records.
Few other studies have followed such a large group of people over a such an extended period of time.
However, while Congress has ordered the Agent Orange records saved, it has not yet appropriated any new money to pay for storing and protecting the samples, which must be kept at ultra-low temperatures, and the vast paper records. Current funding runs out Sept. 30.
"From a practical point of view, that is the most detailed info on a cohort of this size," said Joel Michalek, who began work on the study in 1978 and later became the principal investigator. "There is an enormous amount of detail and completeness to that data set."
Without money to store the 86,000 samples, they will have to be destroyed, said David Butler, senior program officer for the National Academy of Science's Institute of Medicine.
"That's something we absolutely don't want to do," he said.
The Air Force began studying the effects of Agent Orange in 1979 after servicemembers complained of getting sick from the herbicide sprayed on the Vietnamese jungle to destroy foliage that provided cover along key roads and waterways.
Operation Ranch Hand sprayed at least 12 million gallons (45.42 million liters) of Agent Orange, giving the pilots and crew members some of the highest and most consistent exposure to the herbicide, nicknamed for the orange band on the barrels in which it was stored.
In all, nearly 2,800 men gave detailed information and biological samples for the study over 20 years. Full medical exams - including collection of blood, urine and semen samples - were conducted five times during the study, and most participants stuck with the study even though it required them and their families to give detailed information about their habits and medical conditions.
"The participation has been absolutely amazing, things other researchers might be envious of," said Julie Robinson, the transition manager overseeing the end of the study at Brooks City-Base, the technology and research complex formerly known as Brooks Air Force Base. "The data collected could keep researchers busy for many years."
The most notable finding in the initial study was that veterans who absorbed large amounts of the main toxin in Agent Orange may have a higher risk of developing diabetes.
The National Academy of Science has been charged with taking control of the samples and medical records.
The records have already been sent to be archived, but the frozen samples still need to be moved out of a bank of freezers at Brooks City-Base.
The academy wants the specimens sent to the Air Force Research Laboratory at Wright-Patterson Air Force Base in Dayton, Ohio.
"We're planning on the assumption we will identify that source of funding" to preserve the samples and records, Butler said.
A bill to provide $1.45 million (1.1 million EUR) for the Agent Orange archive during each of the next four fiscal years was introduced in the Senate in May by Democratic Sen. Daniel Akaka, but the measure has not yet been given a hearing.
The project's researchers and a National Academy review panel agree that the samples and records could prove to be a rich mine for medical research.
While no one has proposed a specific study, Butler said it could be used to study effects of other common herbicides on people as well as studies on the aging process for men.
Michalek, now the vice chairman of epidemiology department at the University of Texas Health Science Center at San Antonio, said the specimens could be used "in ways I can't even imagine. It's mindboggling what those specimens could be used for."
Michalek and others say they remain optimistic that the collection will not have to be destroyed for lack of funding.
"Somebody has to say 'This is important,' and it has to be funded," he said.

Informed choices 'difficult' for private patients
Private patients are paying too much for care due to a lack of local competition, a new report from the Competition Commission (CC) has found.
101 private hospitals were identified in areas with little rival competition, mainly owned by three major groups: BMI, Spire Healthcare and HCA. There are high barriers to entry and expansion in this market, which has led to higher prices.
The CC has recommended incumbents should be prevented from expanding in areas with just one or two hospitals, and preventing hospital operators from offering incentives to consultants to refer patients for treatment.
More information about the quality of private hospitals' services and the level of fees charged by consultants could also improve competition in the sector. Additionally, some providers owning a cluster of hospitals in one area should have to sell of some of them, the CC has suggested.
CC chairman and chairman of the Private Healthcare Inquiry Group, Roger Witcomb said: "The lack of competition in the healthcare market at a local level means that most private patients are paying more than they should either for private medical insurance or for self-funded treatment. The lack of available and comparable information, often less than is available to NHS patients, also makes informed choices – which could help drive competition – for these patients difficult.
"We've also seen the existence of a range of incentives which encourage medical professionals to choose facilities on grounds other than price and quality – and we struggle to believe these can be in the interests of patients.
"Curing these ills and trying to get a better deal for patients is not going to be straightforward. High costs and other factors mean that new competing facilities are not going to spring up so we may look to increase competition and require sales of hospitals to other operators where we can. We will also look at ways that will stop hospital operators using local strength in one area as leverage in their negotiations nationally.
"Although many patients don't pay directly for the services as they do in other markets, we think that greater comparable information of the sort that is available elsewhere would help drive greater competition on price and quality, potentially improving both. We now want to discuss which of these measures and in what form will be most effective in bringing about the change this market needs."
But BMI responded: "We reject absolutely any assertion that BMI Healthcare and its hospitals exercise market power or that we make excess profits at the expense of patients.
"The vast majority of BMI's 69 facilities, in a UK market with over 500 rival facilities, face very significant local competition from other private hospitals and, increasingly, from the NHS."
And Fiona Booth, chief executive of the Association of Independent Healthcare Organisations (AIHO), said: "AIHO is disappointed that the Competition Commission has not acknowledged the substantial work done by the independent healthcare industry on cost, price and quality transparency. The Competition Commission has been made aware of this and the sector's further plans in this area.
"Independent hospitals are transforming the way they help patients make decisions about their healthcare. For example, the UK's largest independent healthcare providers recently published pricing information on a range of common procedures in a straightforward format for patients. Furthermore, data to be published by the Private Healthcare Information Network (PHIN) will be directly equivalent to and comparable against information on the performance of NHS hospitals in England. We're surprised the provisional findings fail to recognise this."

Statement On The Cloud Act In The Omnibus Spending Bill • Internet Association

Statement On The Cloud Act In The Omnibus Spending Bill
Washington, DC – Internet Association Senior Vice President, Global Government Affairs Melika Carroll issued the following statement on the inclusion of the Clarifying Lawful Overseas Use of Data (CLOUD) Act in the omnibus spending bill:
"The internet industry applauds Congress for including the CLOUD Act in the omnibus spending bill. It's critical that we modernize U.S. privacy laws to reflect current realities of how data is stored around the world. Passing the CLOUD Act will enable law enforcement to gather data stored abroad for the purposes of investigating serious crimes, while still protecting individual privacy rights."


The serialization of the new Kindaichi series started in 2004, but not on a regular basis until 2012. The manga resumed regular serialization in 2012 to commemorate the 20th anniversary. The regular weekly serialization continued in 2013 with the title changed to The File of Young Kindaichi Returns (金田一少年の事件簿R Kindaichi Shōnen no Jikenbo Ritānzu). Kindaichi tankōbon were ranked 2nd and 3rd in a Japanese Comic Ranking in October, 2009.
The series has also been animated by Toei Animation, first as a feature film, with Kappei Yamaguchi as the voice of Kindaichi, released in 1996 and then a television series, with Taiki Matsuno voicing Kindaichi in this and subsequent productions for 148 episodes from 1997 to 2000, and there has since been a live-action film, four live-action drama series, three live-action television specials and further animated features for cinema and television. A new anime television series adaptation, titled The Kindaichi Case Files R (Returns), began airing on April 5, 2014 and concluded on September 27, 2014. The voice actors of the main characters from the first anime television series reprise their roles. A second season began airing on October 3, 2015.
The collected stories are published in English by Tokyopop with the title The Kindaichi Case Files. Only the first 17 volumes (the first series) have been released by Tokyopop. The series is airing on Animax Asia as The File of Young Kindaichi in Japanese with English subtitles,Kindaichi mysteries are whodunnit stories featuring (usually multiple) gruesome murders, often with a supernatural tinge. They are typically of the style of John Dickson Carr, and frequently feature a locked room mystery or other seemingly "impossible" crimes, such as a murder occurring when all surviving suspects have (apparently) airtight alibis.

A cohesive addiction treatment model based upon the concept that addiction recovery is a learned skill.
A practical, step-by-step guide designed to help practitioners implement Dr. Earley's groundbreaking theory of addiction treatment found in RecoveryMind Training in outpatient practice (ASAM Level 1), IOP (Level 2.1), Partial Hospitalization (Level 2.5), or Residential program (Levels 3.1 to 3.7). RecoveryMind Training (RMT) is a cohesive treatment model based on the concept that addiction recovery is a learned skill. To be successful, the learning involved in recovery has to overcome the complex and hard-wired entrainment produced by the use of highly reinforcing drugs―including alcohol. The RMT model describes the dynamics of active addiction with regard to its effects on the brain―motivations, drives, memories, and cognitive distortions―with the term Addict Brain. Recovery is facilitated through the learning of a structured set of skills that promote changes in thoughts, beliefs, and actions, and bring about Recovery Mind.

Над изображением шхуны и под ним девиз колонии  («Даём и надеемся получить»). Парусник обрамляют четыре тонкие линии. По периметру рамки небольшими чёрными заглавными буквами обозначены страна-эмитент и номинал марки. В верхнем левом углу марки надпись от руки «EDW» — инициалы почтового чиновника Эдварда Уайта. Штемпель гашения слегка размазан, но на нём можно разобрать: «DEMERARA, AP. 4. 1856».

История создания
Карминовый одноцентовик был выпущен в составе серии из трёх марок стандартного выпуска и предназначался для использования на местных газетах. Другие две марки, номиналом в 4 цента красного цвета и в 4 цента синего цвета, предназначались для оплаты почтовых отправлений.

Этот выпуск появился по чистой случайности. В 1856 году в колонию должны были прислать морем марки, изготовленные в Великобритании. Однако они так и не поступили, поэтому местный почтмейстер, Э. Т. Э. Дальтон ( E. T. E. Dalton), поручил срочно отпечатать серию из трёх марок типографии Джозефа Баума и Уильяма Далласа (Joseph Baum and William Dallas) в городе Джорджтауне, где печаталась газета «Офишиэл Гэзетт». Дальтон дал определённые указания о рисунке марки, но в типографии решили добавить на марках выпуска своё изображение парусника. Дальтону конечный результат не понравился и в порядке предосторожности против подделок он распорядился, чтобы вся корреспонденция с наклеенными марками подписывалась почтовыми служащими.

История обнаружения
Сегодня известно о существовании одного-единственного экземпляра марки номиналом в 1 цент. Марка прошла почту и вырезана в восьмиугольной форме. В соответствии с инструкциями Дальтона с левой стороны на марке видна подпись. Несмотря на свой грязный вид и жирный оттиск почтового штемпеля вверху с левой стороны, марка тем не менее считается бесценной.

«Британскую Гвиану» обнаружил в 1873 году 12-летний шотландский школьник Л. Вернон Воган () в гайанском городке Демерара среди писем своего дяди. Поскольку марка не была упомянута в его каталоге почтовых марок, он продал её через несколько недель знакомому коллекционеру Н. Р. Мак-Киннону () за несколько шиллингов (что в наши дни составляет примерно от 0,50 до 2,50 доллара США).

Дальнейшая судьба
Через пять лет марка вместе со всей коллекцией Мак-Киннона перешла к ливерпульскому торговцу Томасу Ридпату (), который поначалу не обратил на неё особого внимания. Однако потом, тщательно исследовав марку и показав её специалистам, Ридпат понял, что является обладателем одной из редчайших марок мира. В том же 1878 году (по некоторым источникам — в 1880-х годах) Ридпат продал её за 150 фунтов стерлингов ($750) барону Филиппу фон Феррари. После этого марка получила известность, и цена на неё пошла резко вверх. После смерти Феррари 20 мая 1917 года, его огромная коллекция марок была завещана Берлинскому почтовому музею, но была конфискована Францией в счёт уплаты репараций по окончании Первой мировой войны. Коллекция была распродана на 14 аукционах, состоявшихся в 1921—1925 годах.

7 апреля 1922 года на третьем аукционе, проходившем в Париже, в отеле «Дрюо», уникальную марку купил английский торговец Гриберт за  франков (36 тысяч долларов), обойдя, по слухам, трёх королей, среди которых был сам Георг V. Как выяснилось позднее, Гриберт был всего лишь агентом, действовавшим по поручению нью-йоркского миллионера Артура Хинда. После смерти А. Хинда в 1933 году его коллекция, согласно завещанию, должна была быть продана с аукциона в пользу его наследников. Но вдова Хинда изъяла «Гвианский уникум» из общего наследства, так как эта марка, по её уверениям, была личным подарком ей от мужа. После долгого судебного разбирательства, марка была оставлена у вдовы А. Хинда.

В 1940 году вдова А. Хинда продала марку за 42 тысячи долларов лицу, пожелавшему остаться неизвестным. Лишь спустя 29 лет новый владелец марки стал известен, им оказался проживающий в США австралийский скототорговец-миллионер Фредерик Смолл. Официальным же хранителем марки была всё это время нью-йоркская филателистическая фирма братьев Столовых (). 24 марта 1970 года на аукционе в нью-йоркском отеле «Уолдорф-Астория» марку приобрёл синдикат пенсильванских инвесторов во главе с Ирвином Вейнбергом () за 280 тысяч долларов, после чего марка выставлялась бо́льшую часть десятилетия в рамках мирового турне. Джон Э. Дюпон купил её за 935 тысяч долларов в 1980 году, и считалось, что марка хранилась в бронированном банковском сейфе, пока её владелец отбывал 30-летний срок за убийство до момента своей смерти в тюрьме в 2010 году.

18 июня 2014 года на торгах аукционного дома «Сотбис» в Нью-Йорке марка была продана за 9,5 млн долларов и тем самым стала самой дорогой почтовой маркой в мире. Дизайнер и владелец обувной фирмы Стюарт Вайцман купил марку по телефону через две минуты после начала торгов. В ноябре 2014 года, в то время ещё анонимный покупатель, Вайцман дал согласие выставить марку для всеобщего обозрения на три года в Национальном почтовом музеe в Вашингтоне начиная с апреля 2015 года.

8 июня 2021 года старейший в мире дилер почтовых марок Stanley Gibbons приобрел марку «Британская Гвиана» 1856 года за $8,3 млн. Ее планируют выставить в лондонском центре Stanley Gibbons. Кроме того, дилер создаст цифровую коллекцию с этой маркой, чтобы сделать ее доступной для широкой публики.

Противоречия
В 1920-е годы распространился неподтверждённый слух об обнаружении второго экземпляра марки и о том, что тогдашний владелец марки Артур Хинд выкупил его, не афишируя сделку, и уничтожил.

В какой-то момент разразился скандал, когда было высказано предположение о том, что одноцентовая марка была всего лишь «переделана» из четырёхцентовой марки красного цвета из той же серии 1856 года, поскольку последняя внешне была очень похожа на одноцентовую марку. Однако эти заявления были опровергнуты.

В 1999 году снова поднялся шум по поводу возможности обнаружения второй одноцентовой марки в Бремене (Германия). Эта вторая марка была дважды исследована, пока лондонским Королевским филателистическим обществом не было установлено, что это подделка. Фактически это была переделанная четырёхцентовая марка красного цвета.

Экспонирование
«Британская Гвиана» несколько раз экспонировалась на крупных филателистических выставках. Так, марка выставлялась в 1924 году на британской имперской выставке в Лондоне, в 1926 году — на международной филателистической выставке в Нью-Йорке, в 1930 году на берлинской международной филателистической выставке «IPOSTA».

Вновь марка была представлена на филателистической выставке, посвящённой 100-летию каталога почтовых марок «Стэнли Гиббонс». Выставка проходила в Лондоне с 17 по 20 февраля 1965 года. На этой выставке продавался сувенир — отлитая из золота пластинка с одноцентовой маркой Британской Гвианы.

И. Вейнберг в рамках мирового турне экспонировал марку на филателистических выставках в Базеле (1974 год) и в Мадриде. С тех пор «Британская Гвиана» не показывалась публично, но в 2016 году марка выставлялась на  в Нью Йорке.

В культуре
Раритетная «Британская Гвиана» фигурирует в некоторых произведениях литературы, например:
 в фантастической повести братьев А. и Б. Стругацких «Повесть о дружбе и недружбе», героя которой, юного филателиста Андрея Т., условные силы зла искушают «Розовой Гвианой»;
 в романе С. Витицкого (псевдоним Бориса Стругацкого) «Бессильные мира сего» во 2-й главе, где филателист Тельман Епанчин обращается к частному детективу с заявлением о пропаже «Британской Гвианы» из его личной коллекции;
 в рассказе Александра Грина «Наследство Пик-Мика», в котором главный герой по имени Пик-Мик описывает следующий эпизод из своей жизни:

 в детском рассказе «Розовая Гвиана» Николая Внукова (1967), опубликованном в одноимённом сборнике рассказов. Советский шестиклассник Орька Кириков обнаруживает якобы неизвестный экземпляр марки «Розовая Гвиана». По версии автора, первый экземпляр хранился в «Британской национальной коллекции», второй — в частной коллекции «миллионера Рокфеллера в США», третий был найден в Майсуре (Индия), но утерян при трагических обстоятельствах в Лондоне. В конце концов, шестиклассник получает из Женевы заключение экспертной комиссии Международного , в котором сообщалось следующее:

 в романе Если наступит завтра Сидни Шелдона (1985),

Aberdeen University School of Medicine, Medical Sciences & Nutrition contains the Medical School and Dental School at the University of Aberdeen in Scotland. It also provides training and carries out research in medical sciences, nutrition, public health, dentistry, health sciences, physician associate studies at BSc, MSc, and PhD levels. The current school was formed from the merger of the former School of Medicine & Dentistry, School of Medical Sciences, and the Rowett Institute of Nutrition.

Medicine has been taught at the university since the founding of King's College in 1495. The formal establishment of a medical school supporting a broad curriculum appears to postdate 1787 when there were calls "for the establishment of a medical school" in Aberdeen.

Education

The Institute of Education for Medical and Dental Sciences is part of the School of Medicine, Medical Sciences and Nutrition. It is responsible for all of the education and teaching activities of the School. Its current director is Prof Rona Patey, an anaesthetist. The deputy director is Prof Gordon McEwan, a physiologist. Scholarship-focused academic staff within the school mostly fall within this institute. The school's education and teaching activities take place across both the Foresterhill Medical Campus, the university's main Old Aberdeen Campus, and Aberdeen Sports Village.

The gift card industry is a continually growing force, providing benefits to both large and small business. Here at Creative Card Group, we encourage small business growth. Christian Nashas, the Vice President and General Manager of the NCR small group said, "Offering gift cards gives small business owners the power to easily build their business".
According to recent data from the National Retail Federation, it is projected that nearly 81 percent of shoppers plan to buy a gift card this holiday season. An article from the Los Angeles Times stated that only ten percent of small businesses sell gift cards. This means that nearly 90 percent of the small businesses are missing out on big profits and the opportunity to create a devoted customer base.
INCREASED CUSTOMER SPENDING: Most customers spend 33 percent more than the value of the gift card, creating higher sales numbers for the merchant. Many customers view the gift card as free money that does not come out of their pockets. Therefore, the customer is willing to spend more than normal. The gal that usually comes in just to buy a top will now consider adding pants and shoes to that purchase.
ENHANCED SHOPPING EXPERIENCE: The business owner is giving the buyer what he/she demands. Many customers are choosing gift card purchases over product purchases. Though, retailers see a great spike in gift card purchases around the holidays, consumers are purchasing gift cards throughout the year. Birthdays, weddings, graduations or any event that results in gift giving are all occasions that more and more people opt to send gift cards in lieu of an actual gift. The retailer that does not offer gift cards as an option will miss out, as the customer will shop elsewhere for the gift of a gift card.
BETTER BRAND RECOGNITION: Small business owners must make their business memorable. The business that utilizes a gift card program to foster brand recognition has a leg up on the competition. That business has its logo on a card that the shopper will see every time he/she opens his/her wallet. Businesses adding a QR code to the card, linking the customer to the business website or social media pages, will give the customer a full view of the business, its offerings and its culture. Providing the customer with this type of interaction allows the business to shine and set itself apart from other vendors. Word of mouth has always been one of the best ways to build brand recognition. The giving of a gift card from one person to another is a great way to spread that word of mouth recognition.
IMPROVED CUSTOMER LOYALTY: Adding a loyalty program to the gift card is a great way for a business to create repeat customers. An emotional connection is made with the consumer when he/she receives awards through a gift card rather than through a credit card or bank account. This is because the award is associated with the specific store's card. The consumer remembers this and will return to that store to earn those loyalty points when shopping.

MP Continues to Make Case for Charity Tractor Runs After Victory for Ploughing Matches on Red Diesel
Published date : 21 March, 2022
Gordon MP Richard Thomson has said he will continue to make the case for charity vintage tractor runs to be allowed to continue to use red diesel after he successfully made the case to the UK Treasury for ploughing matches to be exempted from new HMRC rules which come into effect next month.
Mr Thomson had written to the Chancellor of the Exchequer pointing out that ploughing matches were clearly an agricultural activity that allowed skills to be developed and knowledge passed on and asking for the current exemption which allows red diesel to be used to continue. The Treasury responded in a letter to Mr Thomson accepting his arguments and stating that Excise Duty Notice 75 would be amended accordingly.
Now, Mr Thomson has taken up the case of charity tractor runs, which raise huge sums for charities such as the Royal Scottish Agricultural Benevolent Institution each year and allow vintage enthusiasts to keep their machines in good running order.
Commenting, Richard Thomson MP said:
"While I very much welcomed the reversal of the UK Treasury's position, which would have threatened the existence of ploughing matches and jeopardised snow clearing by farm tractors on public roads during winter, the case for the good work done by charity tractor runs raising money should not be overlooked.
"The amount of money the UK Treasury would make from pushing ahead with this change is surely minimal and the work involved in flushing fuel tanks to ensure red diesel is not used puts these events in jeopardy – quite apart from the huge sums which will be lost to good causes in rural communities as a result of these events not taking place.
"I have therefore written to the UK Treasury asking for this to be reconsidered and ensure that a sensible approach is taken by HMRC so that these popular events can continue."

Q: how to use spray json4s support to marshal json data as snake case Scala case class fields are camelcased,

but I want to produce json with snake case.

Is there anyway to do this ?

The Json4sSupport trait seems have no way to do this

A: A JValue has a snakizeKeys function.
import org.json4s.jackson.JsonMethods._

val json = """{
             |  "lowerCamelCase": 100,
             |  "UpperCamelCase": 100,

             |  "dashed-case": 100,
             |  "using spaces": 100
             |}""".stripMargin

val ast = parse(json)

println(pretty(ast.snakizeKeys))

//  {
//    "lower_camel_case" : 100,
//    "upper_camel_case" : 100,
//    "snake_case" : 100,
//    "dashed_case" : 100,
//    "using_spaces" : 100

You probably want to hook the conversion in a post-processing step on the response and/or pre-processing of the request.

In the city of brotherly love you would think that the quality of medical care would transcend from the nickname it holds, however this is not wholly the case. Acts of medical malpractice in Philadelphia are staggering making the city the exact opposite from its imposed nickname. Acts of medical malpractice that are ignored and kept hidden are not only hurting the individual patient but the rest of the nation as well. Acts of medical malpractice Philadelphia that are not dealt with properly are bound to cause much larger ramifications in the future. Small problems that are not dealt with can develop into much worse conditions that are not only harder to treat but are also harder to fully overcome. If something goes wrong during surgery the first thing step should be taken is towards the health of the patient. Everything should be done to fix what went wrong and get the overall health of the patient back on track. After that is done the patient and their family should be told about everything that happened and what their options are. Then the patient and their family as a whole can decide what solution bests fits them. If the patient and their family are not told what is going on they will not be able to properly assess the information in the proper manner.
Quality of care wavers aiding to medical malpractice in Philadelphia the more doctors fail to tell the patient if an act occurs. The fact of the matter is that it is the Law to file a report and tell the patient if anything ever goes wrong during their treatment plan. However too often do doctors forgo this practice because they are afraid that they will get in trouble, lose their license, and gain a bad reputation, which essentially makes them unemployable. This is what all medical professionals fear the most so that is why they make all the moves possible to avoid it from happening. The quality of care diminishes as more and more acts of medical malpractice Philadelphia occur. This is bad for the entire state because greater quality doctors will want to avoid hospitals that would possibly bring down their attention. Also patients looking for care will opt to receive care farther away just to ensure that they are receiving the quality care that they deserve.
If you or a loved one has been affected by an act of Medical malpractice Philadelphia, contact a lawyer as soon as possible. A medical malpractice lawsuit will be able to bring you and your family justice. Medical malpractice lawyers have the experience in dealing with these types of cases and have superior knowledge in the matter. Don't let an act of medical malpractice stop you from doing the things you once loved but can no longer do due to your injury. Contact a lawyer today and start your path to justice and make right what has been wrong for so many years.
