Prince Harry and Cressida Bonas split
It was "amicable" though - so it's all good... unless it's like when Kate and Wills split up and then it ALL ENDED IN A FAIRYTALE sigh.
By Catriona Harvey-Jenner
The pair pictured at their first public official engagement back in March
Word on the street (and from various Palace sources) is that Prince Harry and his girlfriend of two years, Cressida Bonas have split.
Just as we were being lured into a false sense of romantic royal security with the appearance of the couple at their first official engagement last month, and were therefore pretty much promised marriage and babies at some point in the not-too-distant future; the rug has been well and truly pulled from under our feet.
Reports claim that the break-up was "amicable" and that the pair will remain "the best of friends", but with rumours flying around that Harry is telling friends they split because Cressida was "too needy", we're not sure what to believe. But to be fair to Cressida, we'd be needy if our boyfriend was a military captain and fourth in line to the throne...
Other reports speculate that the separation has occured because of Cressida's concerns about being so young and marrying into the Royal family. The former model works a normal job in marketing, with a normal salary, and shares a normal (ok, probably a bit nicer than normal) flat with a friend, so the prospect of being married off and becoming a potential future queen could be very daunting.
The break up came (ironically) on big bro Will's third wedding anniversary with Kate, and just before the former couple were due to attend the wedding of Guy Pelly, a friend of the Princes, in Memphis this weekend. But it's not all doom and gloom; remember when William and Kate had a brief split back in 2007 and then in a twist of fairytale events, got back together, had one of the cutest babies ever to have existed and lived happily ever after? So the future could still be bright for Harry and Cressida.
Of course, Paddy Power have made themselves useful and jumped straight on the back of the news, publishing odds on who Harry's next ladyfriend is likely to be (because we're sure that's the first thing he wants to sort out with his newly single status); and the good news is that there's a 500 in 1 chance it could be YOU. Yeah, that's right. But compared to Cressie's odds of reinstating her position as girlfriend of one of Britain's most eligible batchelors - which are 1 to 3 - we're not holding out any real hopes of being the next K-Middy.

«Анто́н-Горемы́ка» — повесть русского писателя Д. В. Григоровича, посвящённая трагической судьбе обнищавшего крепостного крестьянина. Опубликована в 1847 году в журнале «Современник» (том VI, № 11, с. 5—118).

Сюжет
Антон — беднейший крестьянин деревни Троскино, старый владелец которой давно умер и всеми делами заправляет жестокий управляющий Никита Фёдорыч. Из-за постоянных поборов последнего Антон еле-еле сводит концы с концами, тем более что с ним и его женой Варварой живут маленькие дети его брата Ермолая, которого забрали в рекруты.

Однажды осенью, когда управляющий требует срочно заплатить подушную подать, а мельник требует вернуть деньги за помол муки, Антон вынужден отправиться в город на ярмарку продавать лошадь — единственную скотину, которая у него осталась. Он с трудом добирается до уездного городка, где не был уже много лет. Там он целый день проводит на ярмарке, не находя подходящего покупателя. Рыжебородый мужик уговаривает Антона подождать до завтра, говоря, что уже подобрал ему хорошего покупателя, и отводит его на ночлег к знакомому хозяину. Антону предлагают выпить, и он засыпает, а наутро обнаруживает, что рыжебородый пропал, а его лошадь украли. По совету постояльцев он отправляется искать лошадь в одно из сёл, известное тем, что туда пригоняют украденных лошадей. При этом хозяин постоялого двора отнимает у него полушубок в качестве оплаты за постой.

Постояльцы продолжают обсуждать произошедшее, ожидая начала ярмарки. На двор подходит односельчанин Антона, который теперь работает на фабрике в городе и накануне встретил Антона на ярмарке. Он узнаёт о краже лошади и рассказывает собравшимся о жизни Антона. По его словам, Антон жил хорошо, был добрым мужиком, который не отказывал другим в помощи, к тому же он был единственным грамотным среди мужиков. Однажды, не в силах вынести жестокости управляющего Никиты, мужики составили письмо молодому барину в Петербург. Написать письмо поручили Антону. Однако письмо вернулось из Петербурга самому Никите, который разъярился и, узнав, что написал письмо Антон, отправил его брата в рекруты, а самого Антона стал сживать со света. Так за несколько лет Антон совершенно обнищал.

Тем временем Антон, проискав три дня лошадь и выбившись из сил под проливным дождём, ночью возвращается в деревню. Не дойдя до дома, он видит знакомую старуху-побирушку Архаровну и просит её помочь. Она приводит его в лес к разбойникам, один из которых её сын Пётр, а вторым оказывается брат Антона Ермолай. Ермолай соглашается помочь, потому что накануне они ограбили купца. Сначала они заходят в кабак, где, однако, их замечает брат купца, которому троица с деньгами кажется подозрительной. Антона, Петра и Ермолая арестовывают и обвиняют в краже. Через неделю, после суда, разбойников и Антона отправляют в кандалах на каторгу.

История публикации

В исходной версии повести история Антона заканчивалась иначе: «она кончалась у меня тем, что крестьяне, доведённые до крайности злоупотреблениями управляющего, зажигают его дом и бросают его в огонь». Однако в таком виде «Антон-Горемыка» не имел шанса на публикацию и был отклонён цензурой. Финал повести изменил редактор «Современника» Александр Никитенко, который исключил последнюю главу и изменил финал. В его версии повесть заканчивается тем, что закованного в кандалы Антона отправляют в острог, впереди его ждёт Сибирь.

Отзывы современников
Александр Герцен, находясь в эмиграции, так описывал своё впечатление от этой повести: «В Неаполе в 1848 году, я впервые прочел "Антона-Горемыку" (…) Это "memento patriam" было особенно тяжело в переживаемую Италией революционную пору, под сладким, ласкающим воздухом Средиземного моря. Я чувствовал угрызения совести; мне было стыдно находиться там, где я находился. Крепостной мужик, прежде времени изможденный, бедный, добрый, кроткий, невиновный и, все же, бредущий с цепями на ногах в Сибирь, неотступно преследовал меня…».

Салтыков-Щедрин вспоминал о том, как глубоко взволновали его повести Григоровича: «Я помню "Деревню", помню "Антона-Горемыку" (…). Это был первый благотворный весенний дождь, первые хорошие, человеческие слёзы, и с легкой руки Григоровича мысль о том, что существует мужик-человек, прочно залегла и в русской литературе, и в русском обществе».

Лев Толстой, писавший Григоровичу по случаю пятидесятилетия, упоминал о влиянии, которое оказала на него повесть, когда он прочитал её в свои юношеские годы:

Виссарион Белинский в письмах к Боткину сообщал об огромном впечатлении, которое произвела на него повесть: «…читая её, я всё думал, что присутствую при экзекуциях. Страшно!..», и далее: «Ни одна русская повесть не производила на меня такого страшного, гнетущего, мучительного, удушающего впечатления: читая ее, мнё казалось, что я в конюшне, где благонамеренный помещик порет и истязует целую вотчину — законное наследие его благородных предков». По мнению критика, «"Антон-Горемыка" — больше, чем повесть: это роман, в котором всё верно основной идее, всё относится к ней, завязка и развязка свободно выходят из самой сущности дела. (…) Эта повесть трогательная, по прочтении которой в голову невольно теснятся мысли грустные и важные».

Современные интерпретации
По мнению советского литературоведа Лидии Лотман, повесть «даёт яркую и широкую картину жизни крепостной деревни». Как и в повести «Деревня», в центре внимания автора снова находится крепостной крестьянин, однако на этот раз «духовный склад и нравственный облик главного героя (…) уже лишён тех черт идеализации и романтической экзальтации, какие были характерны для героини повести "Деревня"»: Антон «тёмен, забит и бесправен». При этом «писатель показывает, что насилие и нечеловеческая эксплуатация могут довести до протеста даже такого забитого крепостного крестьянина, как Антон». Григорович также показывает, что поведение управляющего «типично и является прямым и естественным следствием крепостнических отношений, произвола помещиков и бесправия крестьян», причём «закон всегда на стороне помещика и управляющего». Финал повести, даже в переработанном виде, безысходен: «трагическая судьба Антона, попадающего в острог, лишний раз подчеркивала мысль о полной бесправности крестьян в крепостническом государстве».

В 2015 году Игорь Зотов отмечал, что содержание повести и перипетии её публикации, а также полемика, которая развернулась вокруг неё, «в примечательной точности повторяют сегодняшнюю ситуацию вокруг фильма "Левиафан" Андрея Звягинцева». По мнению критика, сюжет повести — «архетипический» и изложен ещё в ветхозаветной Книге Иова, а управляющий имением Никита Фёдорович — почти точная копия преступного мэра из фильма Звягинцева.

 «Антон Горемыка» был одним из псевдонимов писателя Владимира Юрезанского.

As of October 1, 2015, a new ICD code set, ICD-10, has replaced the now obsolete ICD-9 code set. It is crucial that healthcare organizations train and prepare for the ICD-9 to ICD-10 transition to avoid costly delays or penalties. The conversion from ICD-9 to ICD-10 adds increased specificity to clinical diagnoses, thus creating a multitude of new codes to learn and implement. To aid the ICD-10 transition, we have created an ICD-10 code lookup, or mapping tool, which will allow you to translate ICD-9 codes into ICD-10 codes and vice versa. Our ICD-9 to ICD-10 crosswalk is meant to help healthcare organizations through the current change, and allow practitioners to train and learn the new diagnosis coding system during the implementation of ICD-10.
Use the tabs above the search box to toggle between ICD-9 and ICD-10 codes. The check box located next to the search box toggles between long and short descriptions.


Hajjaaj Ibn Yusuf, a tyrant and blood-sucking butcher, was the representative of Abdul Malik b. Marwaan (the fifth caliph of the Umayyid dynasty) and the governor of Iraq. His hands were stained with the blood of respected taabe'een and companions of Ameerul Momineen (a.s.) like Kumayl b. Ziyaad, Qanbar and Saeed b. Jubair. In addition to this, he slaughtered thousands of family members of the Holy Prophet (s.a.w.a.) after imprisoning them in roofless dungeons thereby exposing its inmates to the harsh weather of Iraq. His hypocrisy and fanatical animosity towards Ameerul Momineen Ali b. Abi Taalib (a.s.) is widely documented by scholars of both sects.
Hajjaaj: Are you the daughter of Haleemah al-Sa'diyyah?
Hurrah: Intelligence from a non-believer (is unexpected).
Hajjaaj: God brought you here in my authority. I have heard that you deem Ali b. Abi Taalib (a.s.) as superior and far more distinguished than Abu Bakr, Umar and Usman?
Hurrah: People have lied to you. (i.e. I have never compared these three to Ali b. Abi Taalib (a.s.)). In fact, I consider Ali b. Abi Taalib (a.s.) superior even to Prophets like Adam (a.s.), Nuh (a.s.), Lut (a.s.), Ibrahim (a.s.), Moosa (a.s.), Dawood (a.s.), Sulaiman (a.s.) and Eesa (a.s.).
Hajjaaj: Woe unto you! You deem Ali as incomparable and superior to all companions and eight great Prophets (which includes the most supreme messengers). If you do not back your claim with strong arguments, I will have your head severed.
Hurrah: It's not me who claims superiority for Ali b. Abi Taalib (a.s.) over all these Prophets. Allah Himself has declared his superiority over these Prophets in the Holy Quran.
…and your striving shall be recompensed.
Hajjaaj: That's good, Hurrah! Now tell me how does Ali hold supremacy over Prophets like Hazrat Nuh (a.s.) and Hazrat Lut (a.s.)?
Whereas for the wife of Hazrat Ali (a.s.), it is said that Hazrat Faatemah's (s.a.) pleasure is Allah's pleasure and her wrath is Allah's wrath.
Hajjaaj: Excellent, Hurrah! Now I want to know how is Ali superior over the ancestor of our last Prophet (s.a.w.a.) i.e. Prophet Ibrahim (a.s.)?
And when Ibrahim said: My Lord! Show me how You give life to the dead, He said: What! And do you not believe? He said: Yes, but that my heart may be at ease.
Even if the curtains were to be lifted, it would have no effect on my belief in Him.1 (i.e. a man's worth is based on the level of his faith in Allah and Ali's (a.s.) faith was perfect so he did not need any further convincing like Prophet Ibrahim (a.s.).
Hajjaaj: Very good, Hurrah! Can you explain how Ali (a.s.) is superior to Prophet Moosa (a.s.) who is known to have conversed with Allah?
Hajjaaj: That's good, Hurrah! What is the reason for Ali's (a.s.) superiority over Prophet Dawood (a.s.)?
Hajjaaj: What was Prophet Dawood's (a.s.) judgment?
Hurrah: It was regarding the dispute between two persons of which one was a shepherd and the other a farmer. The former's cattle trespassed on the farmer's cultivated land and destroyed the fruits of the crops and they approached Prophet Dawood (a.s.) and the farmer registered his complaint.
Prophet Dawood (a.s.) replied: The shepherd must sell all his cattle to compensate for the farmer's loss.
Hazrat Sulaiman (a.s.) said to his father Prophet Dawood (a.s.): It would be more appropriate if the shepherd compensates the farmer's loss (of the crop's produce) with the milk and fur of the shepherd's cattle (i.e. produce of the cattle). That would compensate the farmer for the produce of the crops and the shepherd's cattle will remain with him.
Ask me before you lose me.
Ali is the best among you, the most knowledgeable and the most perfect in passing judgment.
Hajjaaj: Excellent, Hurrah! Explain us how Ali surpasses Hazrat Sulaiman (a.s.) in excellence.
He said: My Lord! Do You forgive me and grant me a kingdom which is not fit for (being inherited by) anyone after me.
O world, I have divorced you thrice and I don't want you back.
(As for) that future abode, We assign it to those who have no desire to exalt themselves in the earth nor to make mischief and the good end is for those who guard (against evil).
Hajjaaj: Excellent Hurrah! Lastly, what is your view regarding Ali's excellence over Prophet Eesa (a.s.)?
And when Allah will say: O Eesa son of Maryam! Did you say to men, take me and my mother for two gods besides Allah he will say: Glory be to You, it did not befit me that I should say what I had no right to (say); if I had said it, You would indeed have known it; You know what is in my mind, and I do not know what is in Your mind, surely You are the great Knower of the unseen things.
And in this manner Allah delayed the punishment of those who deemed Prophet Eesa (a.s.) as their Lord but as for the Nusairi who raised Ali (a.s.) to the level of godhood, Ali (a.s.) did not postpone their punishment, rather he chastised such people.
Hajjaaj: I am very impressed with your eloquent explanations. Had you been inaccurate regarding your claims about Ali, I would have definitely severed your head.
Thereafter, Hajjaaj not only released Hurrah with honour, he also rewarded her handsomely.

This tour presents a selection of the finest and most famous gardens in France – which means some of the best in the world. Variety, visual impact, horticultural interest and historical importance are among the criteria for inclusion. They range from Renaissance to contemporary, and include flower gardens, woodland gardens, walled potagers, landscaped parks, arboreta and, of course, a French speciality, formal gardens.
This last category, reaching a climax in the seventeenth century, is impressively expressive of Ancien Régime absolutism, symbolic of the royal and aristocratic dominance of both the body politic and of Nature. Avenues of lime and plane, hedges of yew and hornbeam, broderie parterres of box, vast expanses of water and the hydraulic wonders of cascades and fountains: they were intended to delight and overawe both subjects and foreign visitors, as indeed they still do.
It is not all axiality and gigantism; there are subtleties and surprises and many breathtaking beauties. André Le Nôtre might have been the greatest and most influential of Baroque garden designers, but another hero of the tour is Achille Duchêne, who restored many of these gardens in the early years of the twentieth century. Reaction against overbearing formality set in during the eighteenth century; one of the most important manifestations of this is Marie Antoinette's faux-rustic Hameau.
Renaissance gardens of the sixteenth century are also a very important part of France's horticultural patrimony, even if most of them are recreations, as at Villandry and Chenonceau. But Renaissance ingredients – box-hedge compartments and broderie, filled with coloured gravel or flowers – are a recurrent ingredient of modern and contemporary gardens.
Modern informality, however, is beautifully done, with curvaceous beds and winding paths an inducement to find hidden dells and pleasing surprises. Le Jardin d'Atmosphère and Le Vasterival are among the most brilliant examples. For floral abundance, it would be hard to do better than among the poppies and water lilies at Monet's garden at Giverny, at the exquisite Lutyens and Jekyll garden at Bois des Moutiers, at the contemporary Jardin Plume outside Rouen and at the Renaissance hybrid at Villandry.
Versailles. Leave London St Pancras by train for Paris at c. 10.30am. Drive to Versailles and settle into the hotel before visiting the Potager du Roi, the walled produce garden of the royal palace. Vast and with multiple divisions, it is still a working enterprise, and a staggering array of fruit and vegetables are grown here, many of them historical cultivars. First of three nights in Versailles.
Versailles. Intended to express the virtually divine status of Louis XIV (1638–1715), the sheer scale of both palace and garden is overwhelming. The park is the masterpiece of the most influential garden designer of the Baroque era, André Le Nôtre, with 1.5 km lakes, broad avenues, hidden groves and a multitude of sculptures. Marie Antoinette's Hameau, a retreat from mainstream court life, has a faux-rustic farmstead, naturalistic landscaped park and a delightful little formal garden. Some free time – an opportunity for an independent visit to the state apartments of the main château.
Vaux-le-Vicomte, Courances. Vaux-le-Vicomte preceded Versailles; Louis XIV was so piqued by the magnificence of his finance minister's residence that he imprisoned its patron and transferred its creators, who included Le Nôtre, into royal employment. Both house and garden rank as among the most influential creations of early modern Europe. Courances is even earlier; slabs of green – broad lawns, high box hedges, lofty plane trees, parterre de broderie – and great expanses of water; an extraordinarily lovely place, with a Japanese garden too.
Versailles, Saint-Jean-de-Beauregard. Free morning in Versailles - another opportunity to visit the state apartments. Domaine de Saint-Jean-de-Beauregard is a privately owned potager, 2 ha within 17th-century walls, a lovingly tended profusion of fruit, vegetables and ornamental plants, reared for historical importance and gustatory value. First of two nights near Tours.
Villandry, Chenonceau. The 1530s Château de Villandry is equipped with one of the most spectacular gardens in the world, created in the early 20th century in accordance with 16th-century designs and principles. Tiers of terraces, brilliant planting, impeccable maintenance, and the startling visual effects and amorous symbolism of the vegetable parterres. Famously straddling the River Cher, the Château de Chenonceau was progressively enlarged and beautified during the 16th century for Diane de Poitiers and Catherine de Medici. The plantings in the walled gardens are a modern interpretation of Renaissance design.
Sassy, Saint-Biez-en-Belin. Leave the Loire and drive north. Le Jardin d'Atmosphère du Petit Bordeaux is a wonderfully inventive modern garden, an informal and seductive succession of spaces with broad borders, irregular lawns, narrow paths, mature trees, clipped hedges and water – and 3,600 species and varietals. The second stop is at the 18th-century Château de Sassy: on a hillside site in a rural location, there is a 1920s version of a 17th-century garden by Achille Duchêne. Reach Normandy for the first of three nights in Rouen.
Le Bois des Moutiers, Le Vasterival. Two gardens on the Normandy coast. Le Bois des Moutiers is a fine example of the English partnership of Edwin Lutyens and Gertrude Jekyll, a sequence of 'rooms' with breathtakingly beautiful planting between walls of masonry or yew (currently closed for renovation - an alternative will be arranged if it has not re-opened by our visit). Spread across a clutch of little valleys, the woodland garden of Le Vasterival was established by a Norwegian princess in 1955. Colour coordination of leaves, bark and blossom, and a unique system of 'transparent' pruning contribute to the extraordinary beauty of this garden.
Auzouville-sur-Ry, Giverny. Starting work on Le Jardin Plume at Auzouville in 1996, Patrick and Sylvie Quibel have created one of the finest contemporary gardens in France, with a modern blend of grasses and wild-style perennials in a design rooted in the French traditions of formality, parterres and potagers. Claude Monet's garden at Giverny is probably unique for its intersection of art history with horticultural achievement. The artist lived here from 1883 until his death in 1926, designing and tending his gardens which grew in size as his prosperity increased.
Rouen, Chantilly. Free morning in Rouen, architecturally and scenically one of the finest cities in France, with a celebrated cathedral and an impressive group of Late-Gothic churches. Drive in the afternoon to the Domaine de Chantilly, whose 115 hectares of grounds include a 17th-century French garden by Le Nôtre, an 18th-century Anglo-Chinese garden and a 19th-century English Garden. Overnight Chantilly.
Paris. Founded in 1626, the Jardin des Plantes is the principal botanical garden in France, and occupies 28 hectares on the left bank of the Seine in the 5th arrondissement. There is a huge range of plants, European and exotic, and fine horticultural displays. Return to London St Pancras c. 6.30pm.

Douglass Crockwell (1904-1968), who earned his living as a noted realist illustrator, was a cinema abstractionist and inventor of animation processes. His films include paintings on glass and sliced wax abstractions. His commercial illustrations compare well to those of his near namesake, Norman Rockwell. Among Crockwell's inventions are his Pan-Stereo camera and a modified Mutoscope for displaying sequential art. -Cecile Starr
David Smith (1906-1965) was an acclaimed sculptor, draughtsman, and painter. From the early to mid-1930s, Smith made photographs conceived as abstract collages and after 1945 as documents of his own sculptures. His relationship with artists Douglass Crockwell and Leo Lances resulted in his collaboration on film projects during the mid to late 30s. -Bruce Posner

Fighting for shareholders' rights
By Anthony Sedgwick
Nedgroup Investments and Abax Investments take their responsibility towards client assets seriously. We aim to ensure that the management of the companies invested in on behalf of our unitholders are accountable for company performance and conduct. We believe that it is our duty to exercise shareholder rights in the best interests of our clients.
It is therefore on behalf of our investors, that we have undertaken to challenge the board and the majority shareholder of one of the Nedgroup Investments Entrepreneur Fund's largest positions – Howden Africa Holdings.
Howden installs and maintains fans and heat exchangers for the mining and industrial sectors and provides engineering solutions to industrial processes that assists in reducing pollutants produced in liquid or gas form from those processes. It counts Eskom as its single largest client. This combination of established business activities in the context of the current problems Eskom and pollutive industrial firms find themselves renders this firm of fundamental high attraction. Howden has been a top performing position for the fund for several years as the firm which has operated in South Africa since the early 1960's grew its profits and dividends consistently.
However in 2012 the previous controlling (55.4%) shareholder was bought out by an American firm called Colfax and shortly thereafter the problems started. Almost immediately the parent company started to charge Howden for software and management services it had been competently providing internally for the previous 50 years. These charges have escalated quickly, with no apparent basis of calculation offered or disclosed and with no incremental benefit in the form of additional revenue. In 2012 these charges amounted to R4m, rising to R36m in 2013 and R61m in 2014. These charges now account for 19% of the firm's total operating profit.
After the board was challenged by Abax and other minority shareholders (which included the exchange of several letters) questioning the basis on which these agreements were entered into, they eventually agreed to put the agreements to a shareholder vote in January 2015; nearly three years after the commencement of these payments. As minority shareholders, we were surprised to learn that the Howden board ruled that Colfax (the controlling shareholder and exclusive beneficiary of these agreements) could have their votes count on this matter. We approached the JSE as a collective group of minority shareholders for relief under paragraph 9 and 10 of the JSE Listing Requirements as we believe this constitutes a related party transaction and is not in the ordinary course of the firm's business. The JSE found that the transaction is in the ordinary course of the firm's business and therefore that the Colfax shares could be voted. In the context of the scale to which these payments have already escalated it remains our contention that this is a related party transaction and the Colfax should be excluded from the vote. We continue to engage with the JSE on the matter.
With the JSE ruling in hand, Howden circulated the voting documents to shareholders, but in disregard of minority shareholders' views the board did not wait for the closing date of the vote. They announced the outcome of the vote two weeks prior to the closing date and with only 56.6% of the votes counted (Colfax owns 55.4%). The opinion of minority shareholders on the matter appears to be of little interest to the Howden board.
Howden has long been a highly cash generative firm which is one of the reasons we were attracted to it. It has reliably paid an interim and final dividend with an extra special dividend every few years when excess cash built up – as it regularly did. However at the end of 2013 dividend payments were surprisingly suspended with the only explanation given - to consider a BEE deal. While we support the firm's strategy to improve its BEE rating, we are disappointed that the explanation is not more detailed, that no progress appears to have been made on the deal in nearly two years, and that cash of R630m has built up (representing nearly a quarter of total market cap). With this war chest Howden could pay out half of its annual profits in dividends and still be left with more than R500m to consider possible deals – BEE or any other kind of M&A.
The following chart illustrates the divergent experiences between minority shareholders and Colfax since they started charging the company for support services, while at the same time suspending dividend payments. All shareholders interests were aligned pre-2012, but since then cash returns have diverged widely. This seems to us to be a one-sided and unsatisfactory situation for minorities.
One has to wonder why Colfax would behave in this manner. We have given the matter some thought and can only suggest that it may be a conscious strategy to undermine the clear attraction of the business, drive the share price as low as possible with the purpose of making an offer to battle-weary minority shareholders, who would then accept.
Abax has attempted on multiple occasions to address these issues with the Howden board as pro-actively and constructively as possible, yet we have been met at every encounter by an increasingly defensive executive management team, non-executive board directors (whose duty it is to protect the minority shareholders rights) and company secretary. We can however assure you that we are not battle-weary and remain confident that through gradually escalating the pressure, sense and fairness will eventually prevail.

Governor Udom Emmanuel of Akwa Ibom State and the Managing Director of QIPP who arrived from the United States of America were present to sign the MOU both for the Transmission Line and the Power Plant Project.
Speaking at the brief ceremony, Governor Emmanuel said he is always glad to be associated with employment generating opportunities, and maintained that the Qua Iboe Power plant is one of the projects that provide the basis for industrialization.
He said power in whatever form means a lot and commended the QIPP management for committing an investment of 1.1 billion dollars for the facility with an additional 500 million dollars for Gas.
He said the signing of the MoU is one of the solutions that will solve the country's gas challenges maintaining that he was fulfilling his initial promise to involve his government actively in the process.
I'm sure we should be able to use this to launch into the new direction that will actually take us to where we are going to.
The Governor thanked the host communities, the paramount rulers, the office of the Secretary to State Government and the Foreign Direct Investment team that worked hard to ensure the realization of the project.
He thanked the state government team for the measure of hardwork exhibited and spoke about the importance of the project as a long term investment.

What Happened to Jermaine Jackson
By Barry W Stanton
Jermaine Jackson, the other, other, other Jackson brother. He first rose to fame in the late sixties as the co-lead singer of the Jackson 5, shared with his more famous brother Michael. Like Micheal, he began his solo career while still a member of the 5. His solo career peaked in the eighties, but he continued to have contributions to the industry all the way into the nineties. He enjoys a minor modern following in the UK, due to some high profile appearances on reality television, and has been performing music again recently. So let's take a look at where he came from, and what he's doing these days.
Jermaine Jackson's Early Career
Jermaine Jackson's Solo Career
What is Jermaine Jackson Doing Now in 2018?
Bright Eyed and Bushy tailed, a young Jermaine Jackson.
Jermaine Jackson was born on December 11th 1954 in Gary Indiana. He is the fourth child of Katherine and Joseph Jackson., whose other children are Jackie, Rebbie, Tito, Marlon, Michael, Randy, La Toya and Janet. His father imprinted his own musical aspirations on his children, with Joe Jackson playing guitar in The Falcons. The size of their family, and their relative poverty, forced an end to Joseph's music career. While he went to work at U.S. Steel as a crane operator a young Jermaine formed a band with his brothers, called The Jackson Brothers, where he played guitar and sang lead.
It wasn't long before Joseph began taking an active interest in the development of the three man band, and started an intensive practice regime for the proto-Jackson 5. It wasn't long before the tow younger boys joined the group and the modern Jackson 5 line up was solidified. Jermaine would cite Joseph's draconian methods of instruction as a key factor in the groups success, coupled with a rigorous performing schedule. In 1967 Jermaine Jackson and the Jackson 5 were signed by Joseph to their first major label, Steeltown records. Their first single was released in January of 1968, it was a success and before the following year the group signed to Motown, a label famous for cultivating the sound of both the sixties and the seventies.
A few years with Motown was enough to convince The Jackson 5 that the group was not being paid a fair sum for their work, considering the money made by a string of Hit singles from the band. Most of the group jumped ship to sign on with Epic Records in 1975. All except Jermaine. Jermaine Jackson claimed a need to display loyalty to the company that made them famous, though it must be noted that at the time Jermaine was married to the doughtier of Motown founder, Hazel Gordy. The split from Motown was not as smooth as they might have hoped, as Berry Gordy, the founder, trademarked the name The Jackson 5, resulting in the group becoming simply The Jacksons when they arrived at Epic.
Jermaine's sole career began in 1972, with the release of Daddy's Home, a cover of the Shep and the Limelites hit. The song sold well, eventually going gold. His first post Jackson 5 record, titled My Name Is Jermaine, was not particularly well received, but it sold well enough. He would release many albums with Motown, but it wasn't until 1980 that any would receive much in the way of critical recognition. While he had a few top thirty hits in the mid to late seventies, it wasn't until the release of the 1980 album, Let's Get Serious, that he received an award nomination. Hi final chart success came in 1989 with the single Don't Take It Personal, from the album of the same name.
In 1984 Jermaine Jackson rejoined the Jackson 5 for the first time since 1975, for a 55 venue Victory Tour. The tour took its name from the recently released Jackson 5 album of the same name. Their reunion performances grossed in excess of $75 million, setting the record at the time. Jermaine Jackson's final solo album, before his recent jazz covers record, came in 1991 with You Said. The record was produced by LaFace Records, who would go on to see success producing artists like Usher, Pink and OutKast. You Said was a critical and commercial flop, and led to Jermaine Jackson leaving the music industry for more than two decades. While Jermaine was raised a Jehovah's Witness, his mother being a very devout woman, he converted to Islam after a visit to Bahrain.
During his brother Micheal's child abuse trial, Jermaine Jackson spoke out in his defense. He appeared on CNN's Larry King Live and accompanied Micheal to court on several occasions. Jermaine has made several appearances on reality television. Beginning with 2007's lauded appearance on "Celebrity Big Brother UK". He won over the UK audience with his calm, meditative demeanor. He returned to the UK to for the ITV special, "Challenging Anneka" and appeared along side then UK head of state Gordon Brown to show support for Searchlight Magazine's anti-racism campaign.
It was Jermaine who announced the death of Micheal Jackson to the world at a press conference. He was a pallbearer during the service, and performed Charlie Chaplin's Smile, purported to be his brother's favorite song. His career around the time of his brother's death was very busy, appearing in numerous shows and talking about his childhood, and even releasing a book titled, You Are Not Alone: Michael Through a Brother's Eyes. In 2012 Jermaine released his most recent solo album, I Wish You Love, his first in more than two decades, comprised of Jazz covers.
Jermaine's most recent record.
Jermaine Jackson has been married three times. His first marriage was to the daughter of the founder of Motown Records Hazel Gordy. He had three children with her. He would also have two other children to Margaret Maldonado. His second marriage was to Alejandra Genevieve Oiaza, to whom he had two more children. He met his current wife, Halima Rashid, at a Starbucks. The pair were wed in July of 2004. Halima was arrested last year for alleged domestic violence. She was charged with felony corporal injury on a spouse by the LAPD. It is unknown how these charges will affect their marriage, but I don't see it lasting too much longer.
These days Jermaine Jackson is performing again. He appeared at Planet Hollywood hotel and Casino in Las Vegas with his brothers for something of a Jackson 5 reunion at a concert event naming it Heal the World: A Tribute to Michael Jackson. Considering his renewed interest in music it is likely this will not be the last time we see the group together. He took to social media to lambaste Donald Trump over claims made by the latter regarding his late brother Micheal. Trump, calling himself a friend of Micheal, made the claim that Micheal had lost his confidence due to the many botched surgeries the artist had. Comments made by Jermaine Jackson over twitter accused Trump of name dropping the late singer in an attempt to look cool. How cool Trump looks by talking about Micheal Jackson remains up for debate.

LIMITED ENGLISH PROFICIENCY (LEP) PLAN
SVT is committed to breaking down language barriers by implementing consistent standards of language assistance across its service area.
Census. The United States is home to millions of national origin minority individuals who are Limited English Proficiency (LEP). That is, their primary language is not English and they cannot speak, read, write or understand the English language at a level that permits them to interact effectively with recipients of Federal financial assistance. Because of language differences and the inability to effectively speak or understand English, persons with LEP may be subject to exclusion from programs or activities, experience delays or denials of services. These individuals may be entitled to language assistance with respect to a particular type of service. The federal government and those receiving assistance from the federal government must take reasonable steps to ensure that LEP persons have meaningful access to the programs, services, and information those entities provide. This will require agencies to establish creative solutions to address the needs of this ever-growing population of individuals, for whom English is not their primary language. While the census in the SVT service area does not give us language data since each of the cities of North Bend, Snoqualmie, Fall City, Carnation and Duvall are under 20,000, data collected from the Snoqualmie Valley and Riverview School Districts, English is spoken by 98% of the households in the SVT service area. Overwhelmingly, Spanish is the language spoken by non-English speaking households and represents approximately 1% of the non-English speaking in the service area.
ANALYSIS OF FACTORS
Factor No. 1: The number or proportion of LEP persons in the service area.
SVT's jurisdiction covers two main areas: The lower Valley and the Upper Valley, both of which are largely English-speaking. The vast majority of the population with whom we do business (individuals wishing to ride transit) is proficient in English, so that LEP services are not usually required. No information was available regarding the percentage of bilingual residents of the service area. According to data collected from the Snoqualmie Valley and Riverview School Districts, English is spoken by approximately 98% of the households in the SVT service area. Overwhelmingly, Spanish is the language spoken by non-English speaking households and represents less than 2% of the non-English speaking in the service area.
Factor No. 2. The frequency with which LEP individuals come into contact with the service.
All contacts with SVT are made through its offices located in North Bend, WA. We serve LEP persons via our demand response services. The SVT call takers/dispatchers receive a call from a non-English speaker approximately once every four months and those calls generally come in through a translator at the local early learning center, Encompass. Staff members may also use the Language Line services. This allows call takers and dispatchers to call a number in a 3-way call and conference with a professional interpreter from more than 65 languages.
Factor No. 3: The nature and importance of service provided by SVT.
SVT provides important transit services to the senior, disabled, low income and general public through its demand response services. Connections are made to medical, services, recreation, and other destinations in this rural service area to people who cannot or choose not to drive. SVT also connects individuals to the King County Metro transit fixed route services that will take riders to destinations outside of the Snoqualmie Valley. For many individuals, SVT is their only form of transportation.
Factor No. 4. The resources available to the recipient of the federal funds to assure meaningful access to the service by LEP persons.
SVT's staff members mostly speak English. Language Line services are available for riders who require translation. SVT also recognizes the need to have language services in other languages besides Spanish and has implemented a Language Line service to address that need. SVT shall print publications in both English and Spanish. Special notices of public meetings and other events shall be made available in Spanish. Our website will also have documents and contact information available in Spanish. In 2013, we will spend approximately $400 on translation services. We estimate we will spend $650 in 2011 for "Language Line" services.
SVT currently has implemented its plan and will review it annually, including any contacts with the LEP persons to determine the frequency of contacts, the language used, and how the contacts were handled. We are in the process of identifying LEP persons in the service area by outreach to riders, telephone contact counts, community networks, the city government organizations, churches, and local fairs. Dispatchers and call takers are trained on how to use the "Language Line". Brochures to riders shall contain instructions for accessing SVT's services geared to Spanish speaking riders. SVT's Title VI policy and a Complaint Form are available on our website. Beginning in 2013, all printed maps and schedules contain Title VI language. Additionally, both in house staff and drivers are trained on how the Title VI plan works so that they are consistent in their application. If there is a service or rate change, we run notices in the newspaper in Spanish and in English. We also have flyers on the bus which are printed as the information changes (not at any particular time but rather as service or fare information changes or when we run out of flyers. In order to comply with 49 CFR 21.9(d), SVT must provide information to beneficiaries regarding their Title VI obligations and inform beneficiaries of the protections against discrimination afforded them by Title VI. SVT has established a statement of rights and a policy statement.
NOTIFYING BENEFICIARIES OF THEIR RIGHTS UNDER TITLE VI
1. Our website includes our Title VI policy and complaint form. The website also states:
SVT does not discriminate on the basis of race, color or national origin.
SVT no descrimina en base de raza, color o origen nacional.
2. Our Title VI policy and complaint form are also posted at our Operations and Maintenance Facility (located at 411 Main Avenue South, North Bend, WA 98045). Individuals who believe they have been discriminated against may request a complaint form from our Director, our Dispatcher, our call Takers or from the Executive Director of the Mt. Si Senior Center (located at the same address).
ANALYSIS OF CONSTRUCTION PROJECTS
Over the last three years SVT has not completed a construction project requiring an environmental assessment (EA) or environmental impact statement (EIS).
INCLUSIVE PUBLIC PARTICIPATION
Community Outreach is a requirement of Title VI. Recipients and sub-recipients shall seek out and consider the viewpoints of minority and low-income populations in the course of conducting public outreach. Recipients have wide latitude to determine what specific measures are most appropriate and should make this determination based on the composition of the affected population, the public involvement process, and the resources of SVT.
Snoqualmie Valley Transportation is doing community outreach through job fairs, farmers markets, businesses, business organizations, the faith-based organizations in the Snoqualmie Valley, the two school districts (Riverview SD and Snoqualmie Valley SD), as well as the local newspapers (Snoqualmie Valley Record and the Snoqualmie Star), community networks, social media, transportation coalitions and other organizations.

The first home game of the season is being held on Saturday August the 23rd. West Mon are the opposition. They are old friends to the Ton and have been involved in many lively and memorable games in the past. The opposition will be a stern test for the new crop of players and experienced as well. it will be an opportunity to see how the recent hard work done in training pays off. Let battle commence!


I got the chance to meet this little cutey on Monday! I did her Mommy's maternity session back in August. So I was really excited to meet back up with them for Maddie's 3 month session. =) I had a great time with them and I just love the shots we were able to get! Enjoy!
What a beautiful family. What beautiful photos.

Zapora sieciowa ( – ściana ogniowa) – jeden ze sposobów zabezpieczania sieci i systemów przed intruzami.

Termin ten może odnosić się zarówno do sprzętu komputerowego wraz ze specjalnym oprogramowaniem, jak i do samego oprogramowania blokującego niepowołany dostęp do komputera, na którego straży stoi. Pełni rolę połączenia ochrony sprzętowej i programowej sieci wewnętrznej LAN przed dostępem z zewnątrz, tzn. sieci publicznych, Internetu, chroni też przed nieuprawnionym wypływem danych z sieci lokalnej na zewnątrz. Często jest to komputer wyposażony w system operacyjny (np. Linux, BSD) z odpowiednim oprogramowaniem. Do jego podstawowych zadań należy filtrowanie połączeń wchodzących i wychodzących oraz tym samym odmawianie żądań dostępu uznanych za niebezpieczne.

Najczęściej używanymi technikami obrony są:
 filtrowanie pakietów, czyli sprawdzanie pochodzenia pakietów i akceptowanie pożądanych (np. SPI),
 stosowanie algorytmów identyfikacji użytkownika (hasła, cyfrowe certyfikaty),
 zabezpieczanie programów obsługujących niektóre protokoły (np. FTP, TELNET).

Bardzo ważną funkcją zapory sieciowej jest monitorowanie ruchu sieciowego i zapisywanie najważniejszych zdarzeń do dziennika (logu). Umożliwia to administratorowi wczesne dokonywanie zmian konfiguracji. Poprawnie skonfigurowana zapora powinna odeprzeć wszelkie znane typy ataków. Na zaporze można zdefiniować strefę ograniczonego zaufania – podsieć, która izoluje od wewnętrznej sieci lokalne serwery udostępniające usługi na zewnątrz.

Historia

Termin "firewall" pierwotnie odnosił się do ściany przeznaczonej do zamknięcia ognia w budynku. Dalsze zastosowania odnoszą się do podobnych struktur, takich jak metalowa blacha oddzielająca komorę silnika pojazdu lub samolotu od kabiny pasażerskiej. Termin ten został zastosowany pod koniec lat osiemdziesiątych do technologii sieciowej, która pojawiła się, gdy Internet był dość nowy pod względem globalnego wykorzystania i łączności. Poprzednikami zapór sieciowych były routery używane w późnych latach osiemdziesiątych.

Pierwsza generacja: filtr pakietów
Pierwszym zgłoszonym typem zapory sieciowej jest filtr pakietów. Filtry pakietów sprawdzają adresy sieciowe i porty pakietów, aby ustalić, czy muszą być przyznane czy odrzucane. Pierwszy artykuł na temat technologii firewall został opublikowany w 1988 roku, kiedy inżynierowie z Digital Equipment Corporation (DEC) opracowali systemy filtrowania znane jako firewall filtrów pakietów. Ten dość podstawowy system to pierwsza generacja, która później stała się ważną funkcją bezpieczeństwa w Internecie. W AT&T Bell Labs, Bill Cheswick i Steve Bellovin kontynuowali swoje badania w zakresie filtrowania pakietów i opracowali działający model dla własnej firmy oparty na oryginalnej architekturze pierwszej generacji.

Filtry pakietów działają, sprawdzając pakiety, które są przesyłane między komputerami w Internecie. Gdy pakiet nie pasuje do zestawu reguł filtrowania pakietu filtrów, filtr pakietów albo dyskretnie odrzuca pakiet, albo odrzuca pakiet i generuje powiadomienie protokołu kontroli Internetu dla nadawcy. I odwrotnie, kiedy pakiet pasuje do jednej lub więcej zaprogramowanych reguł filtrowania, może on przejść. Elementy, które można zdefiniować w regule filtra pakietów, obejmują adres źródłowy i docelowy pakietu, protokół oraz porty źródłowe i docelowe. Większość komunikacji internetowej w XX i na początku XXI wieku wykorzystywała protokół TCP (Transmission Control Protocol) i protokół UDP (User Datagram Protocol) w połączeniu ze znanym portem, umożliwiając zaporom sieciowym tej epoki rozróżnianie, a tym samym kontrolowanie określonych typów ruchów (takich jak przeglądanie stron internetowych, druk zdalny, wiadomości e-mail, przesyłanie plików), chyba że komputery po obu stronach filtra pakietów używają tych samych niestandardowych portów.

Druga generacja: warstwa transportowa
W latach 1989–1990 trzech pracowników AT&T Bell Laboratories (Dave Presotto, Janardan Sharma i Kshitij Nigam) opracowali drugą generację firewalli, nazywając je "bramkami na poziomie obwodu" (ang. circuit-level gateways).

Zapory sieciowe drugiej generacji wykonują pracę poprzedników, ale działają do warstwy 4 (warstwa transportowa) modelu OSI. Osiąga się to poprzez zatrzymanie pakietów, dopóki nie będzie wystarczającej ilości informacji, aby ocenić ich stan. Firewall rejestruje wszystkie połączenia przechodzące przez niego i określa, czy pakiet jest początkiem nowego połączenia, częścią istniejącego połączenia, czy nie jest częścią żadnego połączenia. Chociaż reguły statyczne są nadal używane, mogą teraz zawierać stan połączenia jako jedno z kryteriów testowych.

Niektóre ataki typu "odmowa usługi" bombardują zaporę sieciową tysiącami fałszywych pakietów połączeń, próbując ją opanować poprzez wypełnienie pamięci stanu połączenia.

Trzecia generacja: warstwa aplikacji
Marcus Ranum, Wei Xu i Peter Churchyard opracowali trzecią generacje firewalla znaną jako Firewall Toolkit (FWTK). W czerwcu 1994 roku Wei Xu rozszerzył FWTK o ulepszenie jądra filtra IP i niewidoczne gniazda. Była ona znana jako pierwsza niewidoczna zapora aplikacji, udostępniona jako produkt komercyjny w zaufanych systemach informatycznych (Trusted Information Systems). Zapora sieciowa Gauntlet została oceniona jako jedna z najlepszych zapór sieciowych w latach 1995–1998.

Kluczową zaletą filtrowania warstw aplikacji jest to, że może ona "zrozumieć" określone aplikacje i protokoły (takie jak protokół FTP, system nazw domen (DNS) lub protokół HTTP (Hypertext Transfer Protocol)). Jest to użyteczne, ponieważ jest w stanie wykryć, czy niechciana aplikacja lub usługa próbuje ominąć zaporę sieciową za pomocą protokołu na dozwolonym porcie lub wykryć, czy protokół jest nadużywany w jakikolwiek szkodliwy sposób.

Począwszy od 2012 roku, tak zwana zapora następnej generacji (NGFW) to nic innego jak "szersza" lub "głębsza" inspekcja na stosie aplikacji. Na przykład istniejąca funkcja głębokiej inspekcji pakietów w nowoczesnych zaporach sieciowych może zostać rozszerzona o takie funkcje jak:
 Systemy zapobiegania włamaniom (IPS)

 Integracja zarządzania tożsamościami użytkowników (poprzez powiązanie identyfikatorów użytkowników z adresami IP lub MAC dla "reputacji")

 Zapora aplikacji WWW (WAF).

Typy zapór sieciowych
 Zapory filtrujące – monitorują przepływające przez nie pakiety sieciowe i przepuszczają tylko zgodne z regułami ustawionymi na danej zaporze (zapora pracująca dodatkowo jako router). Zwykle w niewielkich sieciach jest zapora sprzętowa bądź wydzielony komputer z systemem operacyjnym Linux. Obecnie najczęściej wykorzystywana metoda filtrowania w Linuksie to reguły oparte na iptables. Dostępne są także zamknięte komercyjne rozwiązania programowe, z których wiele posiada bardzo wymyślne własności i rozbudowany system konfiguracji oraz wiele możliwych do zintegrowania rozwiązań, pozwalających nie tylko na analizę (Snort, psad) i filtrowanie pakietów IP, ale także na sprawdzanie poprawności pakietów z punktu widzenia wyższych warstw modelu ISO/OSI, a nawet na prowadzenie ochrony antywirusowej.
 Translacja adresów sieciowych (ang. , NAT) – polega na dokonywaniu zamiany adresu IP hosta wewnętrznego w celu ukrycia go przed zewnętrznym monitorowaniem. Mechanizm ten jest również nazywany maskowaniem adresu IP.
 Zapory pośredniczące (proxy) – wykonujące połączenie z serwerem w imieniu użytkownika. Przykładowo, zamiast uruchomienia sesji http bezpośrednio do zdalnego serwera WWW, uruchamiana jest sesja z zaporą i dopiero stamtąd uruchamiane jest połączenie z systemem zdalnym. Cała komunikacja na serwer http przechodzi przez serwer pośredniczący (proxy), które może filtrować ruch. Proxy, jeśli ma taką funkcjonalność, potrafi rozpoznać komendy http, jak i analizować zawartość pobieranych stron WWW (działa w warstwie aplikacji modelu ISO/OSI). Zabezpieczające działanie zapory, z punktu widzenia klienta, polega w tym wypadku na tym, iż możliwe jest blokowanie wybranej treści (ang. ), aby nie dotarła ona do klienta (np. strony ze słowami wulgarnymi, o treści pornograficznej itp.).

Współcześnie często pracująca zapora sieciowa jest rozwiązaniem hybrydowym analizującym pakiety od warstwy łącza danych do aplikacji modelu OSI. Umożliwia realizację złożonych polityk bezpieczeństwa oraz integrację z systemami IDS. Skuteczna ochrona zasobów IT oznacza całościowe działania, kierujące ku podstawom bezpieczeństwa. Najważniejsze jego elementy dotyczą infrastruktury, backupu, danych osobowych, zabezpieczenia przed problemami wynikającymi z utraty zasilania czy chociażby awarii chłodzenia.

Centre for Igbo Language, Arts & Culture (CILAC)
In the wake of a 2012 grim publication by the United Nations Educational, Scientific and Cultural Organisation (UNESCO) that Igbo language will be extinct by 2025, Igbos all over the world started rallying to save their indigenous language. Igbo Association of Western Australia (IAWA) was not to be left behind. With the untiring efforts of the leadership and elders, Igbo language school was born.
Igbo language school is part of a broader plan to establish a sustainable Centre for Igbo Language, Arts and Culture (CILAC) and the objective is to promote Igbo Language, Arts and Culture in Western Australia where about 400 people are native speakers of the language. With initial seed money from the Office of Multicultural Interests, WA Department of Local Governments and Communities, IAWA set up the language school to educate children of Igbo extraction on the need to sustain a language on the brink of extinction. The curriculum is such that both children of Igbo extraction and non-Igbos who may want to learn the language are provided with the rudiments of the spoken and written language to prepare them for the increasing complexity as they make progress.

Donald Martino (b Plainfield, NJ, 16 May 1931; d 2005) is widely known as one of America's most consistently fascinating composers. He has received numerous honors and awards, including membership in the American Academy of Arts and Letters and the American Academy of Arts and Sciences, and the 1974 Pulitzer Prize in music. He is the Walter Bigelow Rosen Professor of Music Emeritus at Harvard University.
The importance of this CD lies not only in the fact that it brings together, in digitally re-mastered form, excellent performances of six of Donald Martino's compositions, but also in the manner in which it documents an important transitional decade during which he arrived at, and subsequently began to develop and explore his own unique, personal method of twelve-tone composition. Thus, it is hoped that in addition to serving as a compendium that will stimulate interest in these and other of his early compositions, the recording will help to shed new light on the larger, more widely performed works that have, in recent years, unfortunately tended to eclipse those included here
