At such times true leaders are recognised for what they are worth. Lenin was at that time (as throughout his exile) suffering great personal privations and living in poverty; was ill, undernourished-particularly during his stay in Paris; but he remained as cheerful as anybody could be. He stood steadfastly and bravely at his glorious post. He alone contrived to collect a close and intimate circle of fighters, whom he would cheer up by saying: ‘Don’t be disheartened; these dark days will pass, the muddy wave will ebb away; a few years will pass and we shall be borne on the crest of the wave, and the proletarian revolution will be born again.’ The emigrès of that time, more particularly the Menshevik intellectuals, who formed the prevailing element, treated us with marked hostility, declaring that we were a small sect, the members of which could be counted on the five fingers of one hand. There was a special comic paper published in Paris, which jeered at Bolshevism and exercised its humor on such subjects as that ‘a reward would be offered of half a kingdom to the person who could name a fourth Bolshevik in addition to Lenin, Zinoviev and Kamenev.’ The Bolsheviks were, forsooth, a set of bears sucking their own paws while life was moving past them. The co-operatives, the trade unions, the legal press, were all opposed to the Bolsheviks, while Lenin and his disciples were sitting in a contemplative mood, attaching their faith to the advent of a new Messiah and a new revolution which would never arrive.
In those difficult years Lenin rendered to the working class services perhaps even greater than ever before. At present, in our own days, a tremendous flood had risen and borne millions of individuals, ready to fight and to die. In those days everything was asleep, like in a cemetery. Stolypin’s regime was weighing upon the working class like the lid of a coffin. The ‘elder statesmen’, like Axelrod and Co., were chanting the dirges of the revolution and of the old illegal workers’ party. It was, indeed, a great merit to have raised the banner of the revolution in such times, to have fought all revisionism and opportunism, to have preserved his faith in triumph, and awaited its moment; to have worked and worked without rest or haste.
Lenin was fighting for the party, but at the same time he secluded himself in the library. It is needless to say that Marx is the favourite writer of Lenin, just as his favourite Russian author is Chernyshevsky. Lenin knows his Marx and Engels from the first to the last letter. He knows them in a way as only two or three persons, I think, know them in the world. And Lenin is one of the very few who have advanced the theory of Marx and have been able to fructify it by some new elements and to apply it under the conditions of a new era fraught with the greatest consequences. How proud Marx would have been of Lenin, if he lived today! Lenin never allowed Marx to be insulted by anybody. The Russian so-called ‘critics’ as Marx invariably came up in their literary exercises against the impregnable fortress called Lenin, and would invariably suffer damage from his guns. Lenin fully sustained his reputation even when the philosophical views of Marx began to be subjected to ‘criticism’.
In those days Comrade Lenin carried out a tremendous piece of theoretical work. Those days were marked by a sort of literary spoliation of the dead, by an unprecedented literary demoralisation. Attempts were made to smuggle, under the flag of Marxism, the rotted ideas of bourgeois philosophy into working class audiences. Lenin spent two years in the Paris National Library, and carried out such a mass of work that even bourgeois professors who attempted to sneer at the philosophical studies of Lenin, themselves admitted that they could not understand how one man contrived to read such a mass of books in the course of two years. How, indeed, could Lenin succeed in this domain when ‘we’, who had studied at our fathers’ expense, who had spent thirty years in our scientific careers, who had worn out so many armchairs, who had perused such truck-loads of books, had understood nothing at all in them?

Something Rotten Minneapolis Tickets
Something Rotten Minneapolis tickets
Something rotten coming to Minneapolis? It's not another snowstorm -- it's the Something Rotten Minneapolis tour. Catch this production of the hit Broadway play, especially if you like musicals, Shakespeare or both! The nearly century-old Orpheum Theatre, once owned by Bob Dylan, will play host to this multi-night show.
Something Rotten Minneapolis storyline
As you might guess from the show's title, Something Rotten's storyline involves William Shakespeare and a spoof on Hamlet. Nick and Nigel Bottom are fellow playwrights and leaders of an acting troupe in 1595, looking to get out of Shakespeare's shadow and produce their own hit play. Unfortunately, it seems the famous bard is always one step ahead of them. In desperation, Nick takes their money and consults a soothsayer (Nostradamus -- the nephew of the more-famous Nostradamus, known for his astounding predictions), who tells him to produce a show where actors sing their lines. As absurd as the advice is, Nick and Nigel attempt the world's first musical.
Something Rotten Minneapolis production
Upon its debut, Variety hailed Something Rotten as a "deliriously funny show," and audience members can expect a satirical comedy in the vein of The Book of Mormon. (In fact, Casey Nicholaw, co-director and choreographer of that production and choreographer of Monty Python's Spamalot, was the director and choreographer of this one, too.) Neither Wayne nor Karey Kirkpatrick had any previous theater experience when they came up with the idea for Something Rotten.
Wayne is an award-winning songwriter (Little Big Town, Tim McGraw, Eric Clapton), while Karey is a Hollywood screenwriter (Chicken Run, James and the Giant Peach). They developed Something Rotten's music and lyrics before enlisting successful producer Kevin McCollum (In the Heights, Rent, Avenue Q) to help bring the show to Broadway. Although he originally planned to test out the musical first at the 5th Avenue Theatre in Seattle, McCollum ended up skipping that tryout when New York's St. James Theatre became available.
Something Rotten officially opened there in April 2015. It garnered a multitude of theater award nominations, including Tony, Drama Desk, Outer Critics Circle and Drama League nods. Christian Borle, who played Shakespeare, won both the Tony and Drama Desk awards for Best/Outstanding Featured Actor in a Musical. Wayne and Karey Kirkpatrick received a Grammy Award nomination in 2016 for Best Musical Theater Album.
Something Rotten Minneapolis national tour
The comical musical experienced a Broadway run of more than 700 shows and then closed on January 1, 2017. It began touring the next week. The Something Rotten Minneapolis tour is just one of many stops the hit show makes around the U.S. The production's touring cast includes a mix of experienced actors and relative newcomers, including Rob McClure as Nick Bottom, Josh Grisetti as Nigel Bottom, Adam Pascal as Shakespeare and Blake Hammond as Nostradamus.

There are a few theories as to why cats like strawberries. One theory is that the sweetness of the fruit appeals to their natural scavenger instincts. Another theory is that the smell and texture of strawberries are similar to that of prey, which also appeals to their scavenger instincts.
Cats also seem to enjoy the crunchy texture of strawberries.
Do Cats Like Strawberries? | Do Cats Like…
If you’ve ever wondered why your cat likes strawberries, you’re not alone. Cats are attracted to the sweetness of the fruit, as well as the smell. Strawberries also contain a compound called Furanocoumarin, which is known to be attractive to cats.
There are a few theories as to why cats like Furanocoumarin, but the most likely explanation is that it’s similar to catnip. This compound causes a mild euphoric effect in cats, which explains why they seem so drawn to strawberries. So if you’re looking for a way to make your cat happy, give them a strawberry (or two)!
Are Strawberries And Catnip Related
Yes, strawberries and catnip are related. Both are members of the mint family (Lamiaceae), which includes over 7,000 species of plants. Catnip (Nepeta cataria) is a perennial herb that is native to Europe, Africa, and Asia.
Strawberries (Fragaria spp.) are flowering plants that are native to North and South America. While they may be related, strawberries and catnip don’t have much in common when it comes to their appearance or taste. However, both plants do produce compounds that can have an effect on cats.
The active ingredient in catnip is nepetalactone, which can cause cats to become playful and excited. Some cats may also experience a mild hallucinogenic effect from this compound. As for strawberries, they contain a compound called methylxanthine which can act as a stimulant for some animals (including humans).
So while eating a few strawberries probably won’t have the same effect on your kitty as catnip will, it’s still best to keep them away from your feline friend just in case.
Is It Normal for Cats to Like Strawberries?
There are a lot of different opinions out there about whether or not it is normal for cats to like strawberries. Some people say that cats are naturally attracted to the sweetness of the fruit, while others believe that cats only eat strawberries because they have been trained to do so. However, the truth is that there is no right or wrong answer when it comes to this question – it all depends on your individual cat’s preferences.
If your cat happens to enjoy eating strawberries, then there is no reason to believe that there is anything abnormal about this behavior. Cats are individuals just like humans, and each one has their own unique set of tastes and preferences. So, if your cat enjoys eating strawberries, then you should feel free to let them indulge in this delicious treat!
Why Do Cats Rub against Fruit?
Cats have a natural instinct to groom themselves and their surroundings. When they rub against fruit, it’s likely that they’re just trying to clean off any dirt or debris that’s on the surface. However, some experts believe that cats also do this to spread their own scent and mark their territory.
Is Strawberry Related to Catnip?
There are a lot of misconceptions about strawberries. For example, many people believe that strawberries are related to catnip. This is not true!
Catnip is in the mint family, while strawberries are in the rose family.
Cats are attracted to the smell of strawberries, and they enjoy the sweetness of the fruit. However, strawberries are not a necessary part of a cat’s diet, so they should be given as a treat only. In addition, strawberries may cause an upset stomach in some cats, so it’s important to monitor your cat’s reaction to the fruit.

Cause of Bedford office building blaze still under investigation
According to Fire Chief Scott Wiggin, no one was injured in the blaze at the Daniel Webster Office Park on the Old Route 3, located south of Target and Lowe's and the new bridge that crosses the Everett Turnpike, but the call came in just in time for the evening commute.
"We received a call of fire through a roof at 288 South River Road at about 5 p.m.," Wiggin said, and when crews arrived, fire could be seen coming from both the roof and windows of the building.
"It was fairly well-involved at that time," Wiggin said.
Wiggin described the scene as a "nightmare" for police officers diverting traffic.
South River Road, Technology Drive and half of Hawthorne Drive were closed and motorists were directed to the Everett Turnpike and other alternate routes.
Wiggin said the fire started in an attic space, which was a lightweight truss type of construction.
"It's like a box of kindling," he said.
While one portion of the structure was a total loss, Wiggin said the building was in an "L" shaped configuration and a firewall separating the two buildings likely saved the second.
"We were able to control it at the firewall," he said. "That's the intention of firewalls, to give you that barrier, that line of demarcation."
Seven communities provided mutual aid, including Goffstown, Merrimack and Londonderry, with New Boston and Hooksett providing station coverage.
An excavator was brought in to turn over debris, allowing firefighters to check for hot spots, and South River Road re-opened at about 9 p.m.

Italian Arms Contractor and a Pennsylvania Congressman Share Close Tiesouch.
At the gathering of Italian, British and American political leaders, Mr. Weldon, of Pennsylvania, spoke on behalf of Italian arms makers who were seeking a bigger share of Pentagon contracts.
For Mr. Weldon, the conference was a victory lap. After several years of promoting Italian military contractors, the Italians had scored some big victories at the Pentagon. But Mr. Weldon’s efforts were equally beneficial for his district, his family, his friends and his campaign coffers.
Today, the Italians may well have second thoughts about their embrace of Mr. Weldon...
The Justice Department is looking into whether he used his position to steer almost $1 million in consulting contracts from a Russian energy company and other Eastern European interests to a lobbying firm headed by his daughter Karen, 31. Her home and her office were searched two weeks ago by federal officials.
Law enforcement officials said they were examining a wide variety of Mr. Weldon’s connections with foreign companies, but they would not discuss whether the inquiry focused directly on Finmeccanica.
Mr. Weldon’s promotion of Finmeccanica, the largest military contractor in Italy, with annual revenue of $19 billion and 55,000 employees worldwide, has certainly helped the company as it sought to become as adept as its American counterparts in playing politics to gain lucrative Pentagon contracts.
Mr. Weldon, who has offices in Upper Darby and Bridgeport, Pa., declined to comment.
A Finmeccanica subsidiary, together with Lockheed Martin, upset an American competitor to land the $1.7 billion contract to build the next Marine One presidential helicopter. Other subsidiaries are now making headway in other Pentagon contests.
Mr. Weldon’s relationship with the Italians has been mutually beneficial. His daughter Kim, 29, a former social worker, was hired by AgustaWestland, the Finmeccanica subsidiary that won the Marine One contract, shortly after her father’s speech in Portofino. Kim Weldon’s work is to set up booths at trade shows and perform public relations.
More than 10 Americans at Finmeccanica subsidiaries in the United States, along with their spouses, were among the biggest contributors to Mr. Weldon’s campaign in 2006. Their combined donations of $20,400 edged out donations from American giants like Boeing and Lockheed Martin.
A Finmeccanica subsidiary, Oto Melara, whose 76 Super Rapid gun Mr. Weldon has championed, last year hired his close friend Cecelia Grimes, a former real estate agent, and paid her $60,000 as a federal lobbyist. Ms. Grimes has no previous Washington lobbying experience and no Washington office.
Finmeccanica says that it has not been contacted by the Justice Department but that it is worried. In a letter last week to Il Sole 24 Ore, the company said about Mr. Weldon. “The connection between the investigations related to the person and Finmeccanica is harmful to the image of the Finmeccanica Group.”
That relationship has its critics among Pentagon watchdog groups.
“Doesn’t the congressman have to register as a foreign agent?” asked Danielle Brian, executive director of the Project on Government Oversight, which studies Pentagon contracts. “It’s always disturbing when a member of Congress goes to bat for a particular company.
“It is even more alarming when the company is foreign. When it comes to national security, you want the best products, not products from companies with a relationship to a member of Congress.”
“Curt Weldon was supportive of the Marine One bid, but in no way was he a key player in winning the competition,” said E. Beau Boulter, a former Republican House member from Texas who lobbies for Finmeccanica.
Mr. Boulter has earned $440,000 in the last three years from the company, and with his wife, has donated $11,400 to Mr. Weldon and his leadership political action committee in the last two years.
The argument that Mr. Weldon was motivated to help Finmeccanica to help his district or the Pentagon does not satisfy some Pentagon watchdogs.
“If anything, this all looks like quid pro quo,” said Melanie Sloan, executive director of Citizens for Responsibility and Ethics in Washington, which wrote a complaint to the Justice Department two years ago about Mr. Weldon. “Weldon will help out, but it will cost. He has no affinity for the Italians, but for what they will pay. They hired his daughter and his friend, and that is the deal.”
Ken has been on top of this story from the get-go


She tweeted the video to her 289,000 followers with the message “This is for you Aaron.”
Aaron Hunter suffers from Rohhad, a rare syndrome that causes children to rapidly gain weight. He always feels hungry and never feels full. His bowels and bladder don't function properly and he uses a wheelchair with an oxygen tank.
He met the First Minister last month to tell her about the condition and enlist her support to raise cash for research into the horrible illness.
Aaron has launched his own version of the ice bucket challenge called #GOMADJumpForROHHAD. He's asking celebrities and supporters to film themselves leaping about in puddles, then make a donation to the Rohhad Association.
Sturgeon took time off the campaign trail to look our her wellies, pull on her Rohadd Association t-shirt and get jumping.
“This is absolutely great fun,” she said, while splashing in the mud. “I've not done this since I was wee. Thank you Aaron for giving me the opportunity to do this for a good cause.”
She has also challenged Scotland's three other party leaders – Kezia Dugdale, Willie Rennie and Ruth Davidson – to follow her lead.
Aaron watched it as soon as he woke up and is enchanted that the First Minister has taken up his challenge.
Aaron's mum, Elisabeth, said: “ Ian and I are delighted with Nicola's support and her #GOMADJumpForROHHAD video. It's fantastic that she has done this for Aaron and the other children fighting ROHHAD.
"Aaron is very happy with her help too. He has been talking about meeting her for weeks. He was so happy going to school this morning and wouldn't stop talking about how the First Minister has done his challenge.”
Aaron's video has had over 307,000 views on Facebook. His parents are now hoping that Aaron's heroes, the Avengers, will be the next ones to get down and muddy.
“Ian and I are hoping with all our hearts that the actors who Aaron believes are the Avengers see his video and and that they do this for him and all the kids battling ROHHAD.
“Five minutes of their time would give Aaron precious memories he will have for the rest of his life no matter how short that may be. It would mean the world to him after everything he has been through.
“It would also help bring global awareness to a devastating disease that is killing children. Through that awareness may come better understanding of ROHHAD, support, improved quality of life for the children and maybe even that miracle cure we are praying so hard for.”

But when Ingrid arrives, she quickly realizes there has been a terrible mistake: there will be no marshmallows or cabins here. Instead, her group will embark on a torturous trek, with almost no guidance from the two counsellors and supplied with only the things they can carry. On top of this, the other teen participants are "at risk youth", a motley crew of screw-ups, lunatics and delinquents. But as the laborious days go by, and as memories of her complicated past come flooding back, Ingrid must confront the question of whether she shares more in common with these troubled teens than she's willing to admit.

A girl's friendship with a lonely black hole leads her to face her own sadness in this original, funny, and touching middle grade novel for fans of Crenshaw and Flora & Ulysses.
When eleven-year-old Stella Rodriguez shows up at NASA to request that her recording be included in Carl Sagan's Golden Record, something unexpected happens: A black hole follows her home, and sets out to live in her house as a pet. The black hole swallows everything he touches, which is challenging to say the least--but also turns out to be a convenient way to get rid of those items that Stella doesn't want around. Soon the ugly sweaters her aunt has made for her all disappear within the black hole, as does the smelly class hamster she's taking care of, and most important, all the reminders of her dead father that are just too painful to have around.
It's not until Stella, her younger brother, Cosmo, the family puppy, and even the bathroom tub all get swallowed up by the black hole that Stella comes to realize she has been letting her own grief consume her. And that's not the only thing she realizes as she attempts to get back home. This is an astonishingly original and funny adventure with a great big heart.

Das Restaurant ist super geil! Essen fantastisch, Ambiente fantastisch und der Service ist einfach grandios. Man sollte um satt zu werden 3 Gänge essen oder einfach einen Wein mit einer kleinen geilen Portion essen verköstigen. Wirklich super!
Best place in Berlin I've been for a while. Great atmosphere and staff. Ther taste of the food was outstanding. Thank you guys see you next time.
The food was very good - tasty, complex and yet simple both. Serivce was highly attentive and friendly. Ambiente reminded me somehow of a design hotel lounge - it was comfortable and nice anyways.
Ein kleines und familiäres Restaurant m großer Weinkarte u gutem Menü. Und Eingriffe sollte reserviert werden da es am Samstagabend sehr voll gewesen ist. Sehr aufmerksame Kellner.
Very nice discovery thanks to Quandoo. We were looking for some Mediterranean food in the area, and decide to try MontRaw. The place is very nice, especially in summer with the big windows opened. The food is 'TOP'. We had an aubergine over a toast for starters, with feta cheese, that was delicious. As a main we tried the gnocci (best gnocci I've ever tried), and the lamb with berries risotto. The lamb was so well prepared and tender, that I already wanna go back for another round. Don't hesitate to try the gin+ouzo cocktail, very tasty! Overall a great experience. Definitely will repeat FYI, the owner also joins you at the end with some complimentary shots ;)
Delicious food, original cocktails, stellar service. I think this restaurant will become an important fixture in the Berlin food scene and contribute to raising the bar for quality in the city. I liked the focus on having few dishes that are executed expertly and enjoyed the freshness of the produce from the starter to dessert. Kudos to the chef, the barman, the waiter and the team behind the scenes. One minus: chairs look good aesthetically but actually slanted in a way that is rather uncomfortable (pimp with cushions?).
Das MontRaw hat ein schönes Ambiente. Die kühlen Sichtbetonwände werden durch die warmen Holztöne der Möbel gut aufgefangen. Die Speisekarte ist klein aber fein – eine gute, unkomplizierte Küche, sehr liebevoll angerichtet. Der Service war exzellent! Wir sind selten so freundlich und aufmerksam bedient worden.
The food was really good and we can see there is work behind every dish. The settings of the restaurant are nice too. However, we've been quite disappointed to see that the prices of some dishes were much more expensive than on the website menu (a small increase could be understandable, but from 14 to 18 euros for the same dish it's a lot). I would have appreciated as well the service to be a bit more simple and authentic ... this self-confidence and business-oriented way to run this restaurant is not that appreciable.
excellent service, exceptional food which is not to a very moderate price, very well selected wine list, using very fresh meat and assorted spices and ingredients - all explained by the owner... small cozy restaurant, very stylish and not overdone. could feel the dedication and passion they have with every cocktail and dish served. wish them very well!! thanks!
Bei MontRaw gibt es tolles Essen, eine gemütliche Ambiente und super Service! Das Essen war sehr, sehr lecker, und Service war sehr freundlich und persönlich! Wir kommen bald wieder!!

One little creature, the honeybee, is essential to agriculture because it ensures the growth and productivity of many different crops. Since the earliest of human civilizations, beekeeping, also known as apiculture, has been a crucial skill. Understanding and encouraging beekeeping practices are now more important than ever because of the rising significance of sustainable agriculture and the worrisome loss in bee populations. The interesting world of beekeeping is explored in this blog, along with the value of honeybees in pollination, the craft of beekeeping, and the environmental effects of this time-honored practice.
Pollination is the main function of honeybees in agriculture
Pollination is the process by which pollen from the male (anther) and female (stigma) parts of a flower are exchanged, resulting in fertilization and the development of seeds. For flowering plants to reproduce and flourish, this process is crucial. Many plants rely on animal pollinators including bees, butterflies, birds, and bats while some are pollinated by the wind. Honeybees stand out among these pollinators as one of the most effective and substantial agricultural providers.
The social insect known as the honeybee lives in colonies with a sophisticated system of labor division. There are worker bees, drones, and a solitary queen bee inside a hive. The female-dominated worker bees forage on flowers in search of nectar and pollen. These worker bees accidentally gather and spread pollen from one blossom to another while foraging, completing the crucial process of cross-pollination. Through cross-pollination, different agricultural products, including fruits, vegetables, and nuts, produce better fruit sets, larger, more uniform fruits, and higher crop yields.
Historical Perspective on The Art of Beekeeping
Beekeeping is a long-established tradition that has evidence from the ancient Greek and Egyptian cultures dating back at least 4,500 years. Early people studied wild bee behavior to learn how to collect honey and other bee products while protecting these priceless animals. Over the years, as different cultures developed their skills and technologies, the art of beekeeping evolved.
The bees were kept in basic constructions like woven baskets or log gums in traditional beekeeping. Moving-frame hives were created as a result of later developments, most notably the Langstroth hive, which was created in 1852 by the Reverend Lorenzo L. Langstroth. By enabling beekeepers to view hives without significantly disturbing the bees, this invention transformed beekeeping and enabled more effective management techniques.
Modern Techniques for Beekeeping
Beekeeping is becoming a highly specialized and scientific profession. Beekeepers, often referred to as apiarists, take care of beehives to maximize honey production and pollination services while preserving the colony’s health. Modern hives feature frames that are simple to remove for inspection and honey extraction and are made to offer the bees a suitable environment.
Beekeepers maintain a close eye on the health of their hives, searching for disease, parasite, and stress indicators. Beekeepers may employ integrated pest management strategies to lessen chemical interventions and foster healthier colonies to tackle problems like Varroa mites, one of the biggest dangers to bee populations.
The Bond Between Farmers and Beekeepers
Beekeepers and farmers work together in a symbiotic way. The pollination services offered by honeybees are advantageous to farmers because they assist raise crop harvests and enhance the quality of produce. To maintain their bee colonies, beekeepers depend on the numerous and varied nectar and pollen sources found on farms.
Commercial beekeepers frequently travel great distances with their hives to assist farms with pollination. According to the crop’s flowering season, this method of beekeeping, referred to as migratory beekeeping, involves transferring hives to different areas.
For instance, beekeepers may transfer their hives to California almond orchards for the California almond bloom and then to Washington apple orchards for the Washington apple bloom. The pollination of numerous crops that depend on honeybees for reproduction is made possible by this migratory beekeeping practice, which has become an essential component of contemporary agriculture.
The Effects of Beekeeping on the Environment
Beekeeping has substantial environmental effects in addition to being essential for pollination and agriculture. Not all areas are home to honeybees, and introducing non-native species can occasionally cause havoc with local ecosystems. Additionally, the intense farming methods that mainly rely on migratory beekeeping may result in a dearth of biodiversity in both flora and animals.
Additionally, questions have been expressed concerning the sustainability of beekeeping and its effects on the environment due to the fall in honeybee populations, also known as colony collapse disorder (CCD). A disorder known as CCD causes entire honeybee colonies to abruptly disappear or die off. Numerous causes, such as pesticides, parasites, diseases, habitat loss, and climate change, have been linked to CCD by researchers.
As a result, contemporary beekeeping techniques are developing to be more sustainable and favorable to the environment. Some beekeepers are switching to organic beekeeping practices to manage their hives without using synthetic chemicals. By incorporating wildflowers and other bee-friendly plants into landscapes, efforts are being made to promote both honeybee and native bee populations.
Beekeeping is an essential component of contemporary agriculture and not just a way to produce honey. The practice of beekeeping and the pollination services offered by honeybees are essential to the production of food and the health of the ecosystem. Sustainable beekeeping practices and raised understanding of the value of pollinators are crucial for the future of agriculture and the earth as a whole as we negotiate the difficulties brought on by environmental change and the reduction of bee populations. We can foster a more sustainable and prosperous future for our crops and the natural environment by embracing the art of beekeeping and helping pollinators.

Audi Middle East has collaborated with the Museum of the Future to present its fourth concept model, the Audi e-tron Vision Gran Turismo, which is seen for the first time in the region at the museum’s ‘Tomorrow, Today’ exhibition.
Originally developed exclusively for virtual races on PlayStation 4, Audi has made the car a reality, taking elements from the brand’s rich racing heritage. Inspired by the legendary Audi 90 quattro IMSA GTO, which thrilled motorsport fans in the late 80s, the Audi e-tron Vision Gran Turismo boasts two electric motors on the rear axle and a third one on the front, giving an incredible output of 600 kW (815 hp).
The Audi e-tron Vision Gran Turismo marks the fourth of many concepts set to be revealed at the museum. Earlier this year, the brand revealed its first show car, the Audi AI:ME, a concept vehicle with a vision of automated driving for megacities of tomorrow, as well as the skysphere concept, a car set to redefine luxury of the future, changing what we know about mobility. A third car, the Audi A6 Avant e-tron Concept, was also on display at the museum, serving as an icon of innovation.
As a permanent exhibition to showcase and review different aspects of tomorrow, the Museum of the Future represents the most important new technologies. It gives a platform to study the future, design its ideas and create deep discussions about its trends across all scientific, economic, environmental, and social sectors.
Carsten Bender, Managing Director of Audi Middle East, said: “With the Audi e-tron Vision Gran Turismo, we are presenting how we imagine the future of motorsport. With its three electric motors, distributed equally between the front and the rear axles, the Audi e-tron Vision Gran Turismo accelerates from 0 to 100 km/h in less than 2.5 seconds, providing unrivaled electric performance. As such, we are delighted to bring this concept car to the exhibition and showcase our brand’s forward-thinking technology.”
The Audi e-tron Vision Gran Turismo is being hosted at the Museum of the Future until February 2023, at the Audi ‘Today, Tomorrow’ exhibition on the second floor.

Previews of the top Inland area football games on Thursday and Friday.
(Games at 7 p.m. unless noted)
KAISER (3-0) VS. HILLCREST (2-1) AT NORTE VISTA HS
Game info: Kaiser won the CIF Southern Section Division 8 championship last season, and the Cats have carried that success into this season by outscoring opponents 103-7 through three games. Dustin Chaidez had a career night last week in a 49-0 victory over Westminster. Chaidez ran for 101 yards and four touchdowns and made a team-high eight tackles on defense. Gabriel Ortiz also has been a two-way standout for the Cats, rushing for 300 yards and registering 22 tackles. Hillcrest bounced back from a tough loss to Notre Dame with a 28-14 win over Grand Terrace. Manny Robert ran for a career-high 235 yards, scored three touchdowns and intercepted a pass on defense.
VISTA MURRIETA (2-0) AT NORCO (2-0)
Game info: This will be an intriguing showdown between Norco’s offense (55.5 points and 536.5 yards per game) and Vista Murrieta’s stout defense (nine points allowed per game, six turnovers). Vista Murrieta overcame a bus breakdown to Sacramento last week and beat Capital Christian 24-6. Raqueal Wagstaff ran for two touchdowns and quarterback Robert Coleman added a 56-yard score on the ground. Norco trailed early in last week’s game with Rancho Cucamonga but used big second and third quarters to pull away for a 59-44 victory. Fernando Chairez rushed for 139 yards and five touchdowns and also had a touchdown catch. Jaden Navarette has posted back-to-back 100-yard receiving games for the Cougars. Vista Murrieta has a 4-2 edge in the all-time series. Norco won last year’s meeting 30-23, but Vista Murrieta played the game without Coleman (injury).
TEMECULA VALLEY (3-0) AT NORTE VISTA (3-0)
Game info: Temecula Valley continues to impress with Bert Esposito at the helm and now will seek the program’s first 4-0 start since 2005. The Golden Bears have been quite consistent this season, scoring 41 or 42 points in their three contests. Matt Lundquist was one of the standouts in last week’s 42-0 victory over West Valley, as he hauled in three touchdown passes. Norte Vista is looking to improve to 4-0 for the third time in six seasons. The Braves used their familiar combination of defense and a punishing ground attack to beat Moreno Valley 17-6 last week. Eddie Allain found the end zone twice, and Jessie Carvajal racked up 10 tackles and two sacks for the defense.
HEMET (2-1) AT NORTH (2-1)
Game info: Hemet lost its opener to Chaparral, but the Bulldogs have rebounded with two consecutive wins. Jeremiah Graves threw three touchdowns passes to Ethan Leonard in last week’s 26-0 win over Banning, the second straight week that duo has hooked up three times for scores. The defensive unit was led by Christian Briones, who returned a fumble for a touchdown and Frankie Castillo, who registered his fourth interception of the season. North pulled out a 22-16 victory over Temescal Canyon, as Coryon Rayford connected with Jadon Adams for a 40-yard touchdown with 1:17 remaining in the game. Alonzo Elliott and Michael Mccullough had sacks in last week’s victory.
POMONA (1-2) AT CLAREMONT (1-1)Game info: These schools are separated by less than 4 miles, yet aren’t really considered rivals and don’t play each other in all sports. But it could be emerging as a rivalry in football, where this is the fourth straight matchup between the schools. The last two years, this game has been decided by a total of seven points with Claremont winning two years ago and Pomona winning last year. After averaging just 3.1 yards per rush two weeks ago against Damien, Claremont rushed for 241 yards and 6.9 yards per carry in a rout of Diamond Bar. This is Pomona’s first game against a local opponent, having lost to La Habra Sonora and Lakewood and beating L.A. Jordan.
CARTER (2-1) AT SAN GORGONIO (2-1)
Game info: After beating Colony and La Quinta, Carter came back to earth with a blowout loss to Etiwanda. At this point, San Gorgonio could be better than Colony or La Quinta but is probably not as good as Etiwanda. Carter QB Jonathan Salabaj completed a higher percentage of his passes last week (70%) than he had in either of his first two games, but it was the first time he failed to throw a touchdown pass. The big difference was on the ground, where the Lions averaged less than 1 yard per carry. Carter’s lone win last year came against San Gorgonio, while the Spartans went on to win the CIF-SS Division 9 title.
SERVITE (1-1) AT CAJON (2-1)
Game info: Private Orange County schools don’t often venture to the Inland area for a nonleague football game, but Servite won at Riverside North two weeks ago, so this will be the Friars’ second I.E. trip this year. Freddy Fletcher, a 5-foot-7 sophomore running back at Cajon, has carried the Cowboys’ run game, averaging nearly 23 carries per game during the first three games. While Cajon has more attempts and yards on the ground this year, the Cowboys have more than twice as many passing touchdowns than rushing. This is the first time Cajon has played an Orange County school in a nonleague game since 2008 (El Toro) and the first time hosting an Orange County school in a nonleague game since 2004 (Tustin).
REDLANDS (1-1) VS. LOS OSOS (3-0) AT CHAFFEY COLLEGEGame info: This is Los Osos’ third home game, it’s homecoming and the Grizzlies haven’t left the city of Rancho Cucamonga for a game yet. Los Osos has a chance to go 4-0 for the first time in school history, according to coach Alex Pierce. Los Osos’ Division I QB recruit, junior Donovan Smith, has completed 76% of his passes this season, but also notable has been the defense, which has allowed just 23 points in three games. Redlands managed just 136 yards of total offense in a loss to Chaparral last week. Redlands forced three turnovers in a win over defending CIF-SS champion San Gorgonio in the opener, but didn’t get a turnover against Chaparral.
APPLE VALLEY (3-0) AT VICTOR VALLEY (1-2)
Game info: “The Bell Game” dates back to 1969, and Apple Valley has won nine straight meetings to boost its series lead to 35-15. Apple Valley’s offense is averaging 57.3 points per game, a big reason the bell might remain orange for the 10th consecutive year. Jayden Max Denegal has thrown for 675 yards and nine touchdowns, and Kenyard Edwards Jr. leads the Sun Devils’ ground attack with 451 yards and nine scores. Victor Valley will try to bounce back from losses to Ridgecrest Burroughs and Hesperia. Ahmauryea and Ahmarion Shumpert lead the Jackrabbits’ defense with 24 and 23 tackles, respectively, while Isaiah Padilla has thrown for 435 yards and three touchdowns.

Digital Health: Knowing what’s next in the era of gradual, then sudden change
The healthcare industry has historically remained unaffected by the transformative impacts of exponential technologies, given heavy regulation and reliance on expert labor. However, even the most regulated industries are vulnerable to the effects of Big Bang disruption. In health care, Big Bang disruption will happen on a market-by-market basis, versus at a national scale. It will also initially present itself in pockets across parts of the healthcare value chain as new ecosystems form.
Change is already impacting parts of the healthcare value chain in different ways, making it difficult to detect major disruption.
Digital is driving change across industries, from shopping to entertainment to travel. The convergence of “exponential technologies” has increased the pace and scale of industry change to a level greater than ever before experienced. Transformations driven by other exponential technologies, like electric power, automobiles and telephone, took more than 40 years to reshape industries. Even the impact of the Internet took over 10 years to drive change.
Today, these exponential technologies are the platforms enabling innovators to rapidly launch products and services that are Big Bang Disruptions—innovations which are simultaneously better, cheaper and more customized than current offers—and they’re putting major players out of business. Since 2000, 52 percent of companies in the Fortune 500 have either gone bankrupt, been acquired or ceased to exist. In addition, the life of a Fortune 500 company keeps shortening from 75 years to less than 15 years today.


A statuette which Greek archaeologists are calling a “7,000-year-old enigma” has gone on show in the National Archaeological Museum in Athens.
The bird-like object was carved from granite – without the benefit of metal tools, as it dates from the Final Neolithic period.
The 36cm (14in) statuette has a pointed nose, round belly and cylindrical legs.
But it has mystified archaeologists, who do not know exactly what it is or where it came from.
The museum says the figure is asexual, with no sign of breasts or genitals.
But it says it is difficult to say whether that is a result of the challenge of carving granite without metal tools, or whether it was deliberate and could tell us something about the place of gender in Neolithic society.
The piece is on display until 26 March as part of the Unseen Museum display, a temporary exhibition of some 200,000 antiquities held in the museum vaults and not on permanent show.

Robert Wilson, (born Oct. 4, 1941, Waco, Texas, U.S.), American playwright, director, and producer who was known for his avant-gardetheatre works.
Wilson studied business administration at the University of Texas at Austin, but he dropped out in 1962 and moved to New York City to pursue his interest in the arts. After earning a degree in interior design from the Pratt Institute in Brooklyn in 1966, he started his own experimental theatre group, the Byrd Hoffman School of Byrds, which operated out of his loft in the Soho neighbourhood of Manhattan. Wilson quickly gained recognition among New York’s art elites. His productions were praised for their innovative use of lighting, space, and sound and for their provocative contradictions of time and place. By the early 1970s he was staging works throughout Europe.
Wilson’s range was vast; he produced Japanese Noh plays, standard operas such as The Magic Flute and Salome, and 12-hour-long theatre pieces. Among his best-known works were The Life and Times of Joseph Stalin (1974); Einstein on the Beach (1976), on which he collaborated with composer Philip Glass; Death, Destruction, and Detroit (1979); and The Civil Wars (1983).
The 1995 premiere of his Hamlet: A Monologue at the Alley Theatre in Houston, Texas, was a major homecoming event for Wilson. Working as writer, director, designer, and solo performer, he presented Hamlet at the moment of his death, flashing backward through 15 of the original’s scenes. He danced awkwardly, threw childish tantrums, growled, and was haunted by props that eerily evoked absent characters. Wilson followed that success with a production of Snow on the Mesa, a dance work that paid tribute to Martha Graham, at the Kennedy Center in Washington, D.C., and a staging of Gertrude Stein and Virgil Thomson’s 1934 opera Four Saints in Three Acts for the Houston Grand Opera.
In the 1990s Wilson also earned acclaim for his trilogy performed by the Thalia Theater company of Hamburg, Ger. The series began with The Black Rider (1990) and continued with Alice (1992), a retelling of the Lewis Carroll books, both with music by Tom Waits. The final installment, Time Rocker (1996), had more to do with Wilson’s minimalist decor and lighting and less with music (by Lou Reed) and dialogue (by Darryl Pinckney). Dubbed “art musicals,” the works offered an alternative experience to the typical Broadway production—which Wilson believed was becoming more and more like television, with a programmed audience reaction every few seconds.
Wilson continued to stage productions into the early 21st century. In addition to directing revivals of his works, in 2004 he premiered I La Galigo, which was based on an Indonesian poem that recounts the creation of humankind. Wilson also received critical attention as an installation artist and as a furniture designer.

KALAYA: Ten suspected militants were killed in air strikes and six others arrested when security forces backed by helicopter gunships and military planes continued a search operation in different areas of central Orakzai for the fourth day on Thursday.
Three suspected militants died in a bomb blast in Tirah valley of Khyber agency and a militant leader was killed and nine of his accomplices were arrested in North Waziristan.
Troops conducted the search operation while helicopter gunships pounded militant hideouts in Shiekhan area of central Orakzai. Twelve hideouts were destroyed, 10 `militants’ killed and six others arrested.
The operation was launched after a recent attack on a convoy of security forces in Wad Mela area, which left four soldiers dead and six others injured.
More than 27 suspected militants have been killed in the operation in Ashgar Tangi, Wad Mela and Shiekhan areas over the past three days.
LANDI KOTAL: Suspected militants were preparing an improvised explosive device in Thor Darra area in Tirah valley when it went off prematurely, killing at least three men.
Unconfirmed reports said the dead included Hafiz Saeed, a former Taliban leader who had pledged allegiance to the self-styled Islamic State after developing differences with top leadership of the Tehreek-i-Taliban Pakistan. He led TTP in Orakzai and Kurram agencies.
LADHA: A key leader of the Haqqani Network was killed and nine militants were arrested during a clash with security forces in Sra Kanda area of Barmal tehsil near Wana, North Waziristan. However, one suspect managed to escape.
Intelligence sources said that 11 members of the Haqqani Network were going to Wana via Shawal in a pick-up. When the militants reached near a security check-post in Sra Kanda, an exchange of fire took place between them and security personnel.
The slain militant was identified as Farooq, a key figure of the Haqqani Network and brother of senior militant leaders Sangeen and Bilal Zadran. Those arrested included Israr Ahmed, Rahim Gul, Abid, Mohsin, Gul Mohammad, Amirullah, Azbullah and Khan Zali Khan.

Towns to vote on EMT service
DEERFIELD — In the fall, townspeople in Deerfield, Whately and Sunderland will likely be asked to pay between $27,000 and $66,000 more for expanded ambulance service. Town leaders say the extra service will be worth the extra money.
The proposed service would be a paramedic level service 24 hours per day, seven days per week based out of the South Deerfield Fire District. It would be called the South County Emergency Medical Services and cover Sunderland, Deerfield and Whately if the townspeople approve the proposal.
The proposed deadline for the towns to vote first-year appropriations can be no later than Sept. 30. And the proposed start date is Jan. 1, 2014.
The proposed first-year cost is $495,992, with $386,138 in anticipated revenue.
Deerfield’s expected first-year cost would be $256,732. Sunderland’s share would be $156,122 and Whately’s would be $83,138. The budget numbers can still change, however.
The budgets of the existing volunteer services and the proposed paramedic-level staffed service are difficult to compare, town leaders say.
The big difference results from how the systems are set up. In the existing system, volunteers respond to calls when they can. Under the regional plan, there will always be two EMTs on hand — the necessary number needed to transport a patient. And there will be one ambulance and one ready reserve ambulance rather than the individual town ambulances.
The hope is that response times will decrease.
Based on 2012 figures, it takes Deerfield an average of 17 minutes and Whately and Sunderland an average 18 minutes to respond to 90 percent or more of calls.
The goal for the regional service is to have 90 percent of calls, regardless of the location, be under 16 minutes.
Planners envision implementing the regional EMS in January, half way through the fiscal year, so increased expenses would be less the first year, according to Sunderland Town Administrator Margaret Nartowicz. Money towns set aside for ambulance coverage would be shifted to the new regional entity mid fiscal year. In the future, the insurance payments and local ambulance appropriation would go to the regional EMS.
This year in Sunderland, the total Fire and EMS department budget amounted to $186,525. Under the regional draft budget, Sunderland taxpayers’ costs would increase by $54,186.
Deerfield taxpayers currently pay $190,000 a year for the on-call ambulance service. Taxpayers’ contribution could increase by about $66,732.
Whately taxpayers for next year agreed to pay $56,143 for the EMS budget. The taxpayers would be asked to pay another $26,995 for a regional service.
The proposed staff number is six full-time positions plus per diem paramedics and EMTs scheduled for regular shifts.
Currently, Sunderland has one full-time firefighter/EMT who works 40 hours a week. Any call requires one of the 14 on-call EMT staff to respond with him. On-call staff get paid $16.37 per hour when they respond.
In Deerfield, there are three full-time staff members and 25 on-call staff who get paid $17.92 an hour when they respond.
In Whately, there are 16 volunteer staffers.
The way Whately is handling the improvement of EMS services is slightly different.
To improve the town service, the townspeople added $32,165 to the budget, which would pay for on-call shifts and higher stipends. The budget in past years was $23,978.
Whately EMT began improving the town service in April to give the selectmen a choice between the regional and town service.
Whately EMTs now get paid $25 for a 12-hour shift. If the on-shift EMT gets a call and transports a patient, the stipend increases to $75. If a call comes in during an off shift time, then the transporting EMT gets a $100 stipend. The shifts run from 6 p.m. to 6 a.m.
If the towns choose to move forward, Nartowicz said the towns would apply for an annual state Community Innovation Challenge Grant that supports projects for regional service enhancements. Towns can apply for up to $200,000 in funding.
Nartowicz said the grant could help offset some of the first year implementation and capital costs.
This week, the Sunderland and Deerfield selectmen both took the first step by agreeing to move forward with the EMS Plan and legal review.
Sunderland designated Selectman Tom Fydenkevez as its representative to the planning group. Deerfield’s representative is Selectman Chairman Mark Gilmore.
The Whately selectmen will be asked to do the same at their meeting early next week.

This invention relates to a mica-free joint compound containing relatively flat substantially square gypsum crystals which have been formed by hydration of calcium sulfate to calcium sulfate dihydrate, such as crystals found in the presence of citric acid.
U.S. Pat. Nos. 3,975,320 and 4,049,866 disclose that calcium sulfate dihydrate which is formed as a by-product of the conventional fermentation processing of citric acid from preferably sugar but produces crystals having a peculiar twinned structure, which, when ground to alter the particle size distribution to certain defined ranges, may be employed in a joint compound to replace part or all of the commonly used mica, which is used to minimize shrinkage during drying.
The present invention relates to the use of a different form of calcium sulfate dihydrate crystal, as a replacement for mica in a joint compound, different from the material disclosed in the above '320 and '866 patents, and different from any other known prior calcium sulfate dihydrate. The novel material is produced by a hydration of calcium sulfate anhydrite to calcium sulfate dihydrate under certain conditions whereby the resultant material contains a large percentage of crystals of a low length to width ratio. The hydration product does not require any grinding or other alteration of particle size, however it is recognized that some further alteration of particle size might be found to provide a further improvement in the performance of the product.
It is an object of the invention to provide a novel ingredient for use in a joint compound for drywall construction.
It is a further object to provide a novel replacement for mica in a joint compound.
These and other objects and advantages will be more readily apparent when considered in relation to the preferred embodiments as set forth in the following specifications.
According to the present invention, a joint compound is prepared in which no mica is used, but in its place there is used a specially prepared calcium sulfate dihydrate which consists primarily of individual crystals having a very low length to width ratio.
Preferably the special calcium sulfate dihydrate is the end product of a hydration reaction of calcium sulfate anhydrite, wherein the anhydrite is hydrated in an aqueous solution containing from about 1/2% to 4% citric acid.
For example, the special calcium sulfate dihydrate is formed by, first, adding 8 parts sodium sulfate and 1 part citric acid to 91 parts of water. To this solution, 42.8 parts of calcium sulfate anhydrite is added. Also, about 1 part of crushed special calcium sulfate dihydrate from a previous hydration reaction is added, to act as seeds for starting new crystal growth. The temperature was maintained at 70° F.±2° F.
Hydration is substantially complete after about eight hours. The low length to width ratio calcium sulfate dihydrate crystals are then separated from the liquid by filtration. The crystals included a substantial portion having a length to width ratio of about 1.0 to 1.5, with the length being about 50 to 100μ.
The special calcium sulfate crystals were then used in one formulation of a joint compound containing no mica and compared with a similar joint compound containing no special calcium sulfate crystals, as follows:
______________________________________ Percentages Containing Without Special SpecialIngredients Crystals Crystals______________________________________Water 23.36 25.90Limestone 59.00 66.84Bentonite Clay 1.32 1.35Attapulgite Clay 1.47 1.37Polyacrylamide Flocculant .02 .02Methyl Cellulose Thickener .36 .35Potassium Carbonate .04 .05Tributyl in Tin Preservative .04 .05Propylene Glycol .37 .36Polyvinyl Acetate Latex 3.20 3.59Benzoflex 9-88 Plasticizer .11 .12Nopco 9201A Vegetable Oil Defoamer .04 --Narvon Aluminum Silicate 2.13 --Special Calcium Sulfate Dihydrate 8.54 --______________________________________
The limestone and the clays are basically fillers, however they also contribute to the working properties of the compound when applying the material onto a wall. The polyacrylamide flocculant causes flocculation of the attapulgite clay, to give the attapulgite clay its best working properties.
The potassium carbonate is a solvent for the thickener. The propylene glycol prevents thinner portions of the joint compound, as is common along the edge, from drying too fast, during application of the joint compound.
The latex acts as a binder, with the assistance of the plasticizer.
Defoamer is an optional ingredient in the above type formulas, and its presence has no effect on the crack resistance of the joint compound during drying. The Narvon aluminum silicate raises the consistency of the composition, resulting in lower solids, thus improving the working properties, but also has been found to increase somewhat the tendency of the compound to shrink during drying, forming shrinkage cracks.
The presence of the special low length to width ratio calcium sulfate dihydrate crystals in the one above formulation markedly overcame the tendencies of the joint compound to shrink during drying, resulting in substantially less shrinkage cracks forming, when applied relatively thickly to a surface, as compared to the joint compound of the above formulation having no special crystals of calcium sulfate dihydrate.
Having completed a detailed disclosure of the preferred embodiments of my invention so that those skilled in the art may practice the same, I contemplate that variations may be made without departing from the essence of the invention or the scope of the appended claims.

2 edition of Madrigals from Manuscript Sources (Musica Britannica) found in the catalog.
Madrigals from Manuscript Sources (Musica Britannica)
January 1988 by Stainer & Bell, Limited .
Written in English
|The Physical Object|
|Number of Pages||116|
Keyboard book, English, mid 17th century. The two men may well have been friends. Oxford: Clarendon Press,IV, no. Apparently a partner volume to Mus. Striking antiphonal exchanges also appear in many other works, such as in Omnes gentes plaudite manibus, the text of which played such a significant role in the Venetian celebrations of the Feast of the Ascension, which were crowned by the ceremony of the Sposalizio del mare in which the Doge symbolically "married" the Adriatic on behalf of the Republic.
During the warring republican period of Florence -Verdelot seems to have changed loyalties, siding against the papal and imperial forces who wanted to re-install the Medecis as the rulers of Florence. MS 22, fol. He moved to Italy as a young man, and was present in Florence by the late s, therefore having an opportunity to meet or work with Philippe Verdelotwho wrote the earliest named madrigals. Organ accompaniments for anthems and services, begun by Richard Goodson Jr in the second quarter of the 18th century, and extended by later copyists, including William Walond Sr, copying in the s.
An annotation by Thomas Myriell on one of the rear flyleaves of Mus. English translations of the texts are provided throughout, enabling the making of specific performance cues. This manuscript appears to have been owned privately by Lowe, but may then have passed to his successors as Organists of Christ Church Cathedral. Almost no collections of madrigals were published in Rome which did not include at least one contribution by Nanino, often in the most prominent position in the book—even ahead of Palestrina.

If Gesualdo had not committed such shocking acts, we might not pay such madrifal attention to his music. In Paris he employed the publishing house of Le Roy and Ballard, who printed his abundant chansons, masses and motets just as the Venetian printers had earlier printed his madrigals.
The resulting works sounded as though they might have been written by the later Schoenberg. MS 14, fol. Rarely in music history were the madrigal and the chanson more alike. Inhe became maestro di cappella at the baptistery of S Maria del Fiore, a position he held until Renaissance and Baroque Music.
Sacred Music: For manuscript and printed sources containing Sacred Vocal Music in English,a thorough and extensive chronological bibliography, with multiple indexes, is: Daniel, Ralph T. VIIvi-viii. This volume was supposed to be the fifth in a projected series of 14 volumes of his complete works.
Gesualdo partakes of the aesthetic of the Mannerists, exaggerating color, proportion and gesture to reveal emotional truths. In the first instance they were subject to the local rulers of their city-states, powerful families such as the Gonzagas and the Medicis.
Organ accompaniments for anthems and service music, copied jointly by Henry Aldrich and Edward Lowe; English, before Apparently the work of a single amateur copyist, exhibiting considerable scribal variation. Layer 2 is associated with the chapel of St John's College, Oxford. See Pamela J.
Works and sketches by Henry Aldrich, largely autograph; also keyboard parts for fantasia-suites by John Coprario, copied by Aldrich; English, last quarter of 17th century. In the same year he may also have visited Venice, where a large collection of his church music was being printed, with a similar intention.
He moved to Italy as a young man, and was present in Florence by the late s, therefore having an opportunity to meet or work with Philippe Verdelotwho wrote the earliest named madrigals.
When Francesco succeeded him, court intrigues and cost-cutting led to the dismissal of Monteverdi and his brother Giulio Cesare, who both returned, almost penniless, to Cremona. The relationship between Gesualdo and his new wife was not good; she accused him of abuse, and the Este family attempted to obtain a divorce.
The trail only reappears inwhen Ortenzio Landi writes of him posthumously: " Verdelotthe Frenchman, was singular in his time. Above them were the imperial powers — in the sixteenth century primarily Spain — and also the authority of the Habsburgs of Viennain their role as Holy Roman Emperorsguardians of the Catholic faith.
Among the illuminati he mingled with there was Niccolo Machiavelli himself. InWerner Herzog directed the film Gesualdo: While in Ferrara, he published his first book of madrigals. English translations of the texts are provided throughout, enabling the making of specific performance cues.
English, probably 1st decade of 18th century. The inclusion of literal English translations a welcome feature of an increasing number of modern editions will assist singers when preparing the foreign-language pieces for performance as will the carefully prepared keyboard reductions.
The volume sheds new light on a wide variety of subjects, including how the works were treated by some of the composer's contemporaries. Apparently a partner volume to Mus. Comments on any of the material in this catalogue would be appreciated.
Originally a keyboard book in two layers, the first containing organ accompaniments for English anthems, the second idiomatic keyboard music; copyist unidentified, English, probably early s. During the warring republican period of Florence -Verdelot seems to have changed loyalties, siding against the papal and imperial forces who wanted to re-install the Medecis as the rulers of Florence.
VIIv-vi.Another of Maistre Jhan's madrigals was subsequently published in the Libro primo de la serenaof (RISM 2). Dalla Viola's madrigals do not survive in early manuscript sources at all, and his first madrigal book was published only in For a description and inventory of Naples, see Coelho, The Manuscript Sources, –, – Another number on the flyleaf verso of the manuscript, in a different hand, might be read as “” For an introduction to source types in seventeenth-century Italian lute manuscripts, see Coelho, The Manuscript Sources, 22– Another manuscript of Spanish music from this era is the “Song Book of the Palace,” now located in the Royal Library at Madrid.
This collection contains pieces of music for anywhere between two to six voices, and neither this manuscript nor Ferdinand Columbus’ manuscript are written in score. Choral Arrangements of Madrigals. In Celebration of the Human Voice - The Essential Musical Instrument.

Oxford Book of Italian Madrigals. Jacques Arcadelt (also Jacob Arcadelt; c. – 14 October ) was a Franco-Flemish composer of the Renaissance, active in both Italy and France, and principally known as a composer of secular vocal sylvaindez.comgh he also wrote sacred vocal music, he was one of the most famous of the early composers of madrigals; his first book of madrigals, published within a decade of the appearance of.
Near the end of the third decade of the sixteenth century, a five-volume set of madrigal and motet partbooks was assembled in Florence and sent as a gift—or "musical embassy"—to the English court of Henry VIII.
The manuscript set—minus the missing altus part—has been owned since by the Newberry Library in Chicago; but until H. Colin Slim’s exhaustive efforts, no thorough study.
