This is definitely another piece of work-in-progress.
Recently, I have been thinking about what is the modern day 'currency'. Not money in its functional sense but what people really treasure so that businesses revolve about.
So let's start at the beginning.
When human started something called an economy, the real essence of a currency was really about 'trust'. This is what everything we see today are built around (and going obsolete). Printed notes is about trust. Banking system is about trust. Government regulates the way they regulate because everything is built around trust so they need to step in to take out the bad guys taking advantage of this trust system.
Then started somewhere, we got bored with trust. Or more accurately, we haven taken it for granted. So we want something to replace this currency. What we end up with is 'expectation'. If we think about it, this is basically what our economy is about for the last 20-30 years. In fact, our entire financial market is built upon expectations. This is why we have warrants, options, futures and all these derivative products (yes, the whole time valued and compound interest calculation have this as fundamental assumption too). Even our stock market is now all about expectation (and computers trading with each other) – i.e. do you expect there will be someone (or another computer) who will buy it off you at your expected price?
Just for the record, the whole mark-to-market valuation is what I believe killing our entire economy today.
So with our over manipulation of each other's expectations, what's going to happen next? What do we need as our next 'currency'?
Obviously I don't have the answer but it's fun to predict (yes, we fell in love with this skill in our 'expectation' era too).
One thing I believe is, we are not going backwards – so it will not be about trust (in fact, we are going into an anti-trust era) and it will not be about expectation (in fact, we are going into a losing-faith era). So with no trust (in each other) and no expectation (of the future), what's going to happen next?
My thinking is, as least for now, we are all going to look more 'inwards'. Yes, Facebook status and Twitter tweets are one of those phenomenons that we can go on forever, but there is more.
We are becoming more sensitive to what we do. We care about our cause more than ever. If we don't trust and we can't have expectations, all we can care about is what we do ourselves.
Therefore I believe the next currency in our modern world is the commitment to pursue the right thing.
Let's come back to this on another day.

Increased Ear Pressure
CPAP therapy is highly effective for treating obstructive sleep apnea. Unfortunately, there are noted side effects to positive pressure therapy as well. In certain cases, the pressure transmission with a nasal or full face mask can cause an increased pressure sensation in the ears. This occurs because air progresses through the nose into the Eustachian tube, which ventilates the middle ear space. The resulting fullness can be quite uncomfortable and even limit successful usage of CPAP. It is most often noted in patients who require a high pressure setting.
A proper ENT examination is essential to determine the need for such high pressures. These can often include nasal obstructions, large tonsils and/or adenoids, all of which can be successfully treated once diagnosed.
If you feel increasing ear pressure is limiting your tolerance of CPAP, feel free to contact us for further assessment and treatment.

The Great Vaccine Debate.
It is fast becoming a topic of frequent household conversation. Ever since the month of December it's all we've heard about.
A disease so deadly and dangerous that tens of thousands of well meaning people have thrown caution to the wind and lined up in droves, en route to their valued pediatricians, family physicians, or nearest Walgreens for their next round of immunity. Measles was eliminated from the USA in 2000. There were only 80 cases that year, apparently low enough to give it the official label of "eliminated", even though in reality there were still some small outbreaks throughout the country. Nothing to write home about, the experts supposed.
People were feeling great. Y2K had come and gone with none of the anticipated chaos, the Yankees won the pennant, the first working artificial heart was invented and inserted into a human being, and the Measles had finally been eliminated. It was a great year.
Enter 2015.
You see, Measles is back. I mean, technically it never left, but now it's really back. There have been a mind boggling 150 cases so far this year; well on pace to break last year's record of 644 cases. Well, at least a record since 1996. It's understandable that so many people would want to be immune from it. According to the CDC:
So yes, it's serious. Unless you think you can't trust the CDC to be forthright and honest about the information they present, you'd be crazy to think otherwise.
If you do think you can't trust the CDC, how about the WHO? Here's what they have to say about the measles:
Goodness gracious. This disease is scary. The CDC tells us it will kill one or two kids per thousand that get it, and the WHO tells us there's no specific treatment, and that you can go blind, get severe diarrhea, or contract pneumonia. No thanks. Obviously if there's a way to prevent it, I'm going to do whatever it takes to save myself and my kids. Vaccine, anyone? I mean, who in their right mind would want to subject themselves or their kids to that kind of sick torture? Not I.
Sound like you?
It used to sound like me.
I used to be just like you. I went about my life like most Americans do. I focused on my own life; my family, my friends, my interests, my work, and my passions. Being an American is awesome; many times we take it for granted. We're often too busy detailing our vehicles and browsing the department stores for bargains, that we forget what life is really like. In our look-at-me lives, we tend to be self centered, and slowly we've let ourselves get lost in the luxuries of having first world problems.
The hot water heater's busted.
The dishes are piling up and you're out of dishwasher soap.
You ran over a nail with the back left tire of your SUV.
Gas is freaking $2.50 a gallon.
You're running late for work.
You know, life.
I have a tendency to bitch and moan about all of it too, but that doesn't make it right. You see, when I stepped back and started looking at life through a big picture lens, I realized that my first world problems weren't really problems at all. They were inconveniences disguised as problems. We are constantly told we deserve the best. We deserve the newest car, the latest gaming systems, or the best cell phones. We are informed that what we need in our lives are new clothes, cable TV, and high speed internet. We're urged to buy the best deals, dine at the coolest restaurants, and watch every single movie that is produced.
And we buy it hook, line, and sinker. We're lined up for miles to eat up the marketing tactics and stay up on the latest fads just so we can be relevant to society.
The television governs our lives.
The internet consumes us.
The iphones make our eyes bloodshot from excessive use.
Technology is our king, is it not? We have become a nation of sheep. We have decided to follow the masses to their unknowing slaughter and we can't even see the clues around us unless someone takes the time to point it out to us.
We are being controlled, friends; make no mistake. If you think you are in full control of your life, go one week without TV, internet, or a cell phone. Good luck.
The video above is more or less how I view life, and the vaccine debate as well. This topic is no different that any other topic that we're told to be concerned with. We are controlled in this arena as well.
We turn on the TV and every news outlet across the nation is telling us that measles is deadly and we should get vaccinated.
We log in and begin reading blogs and articles telling us that whooping cough is deadly and we need to get vaccinated.
We open our newspapers and we see that the flu is easily preventable with a vaccine.
We refresh our phones and see people we know, and many others we don't know, giving personal stories and opinions on how bad these diseases are. Many update their statuses right from their children's pediatrician offices:
"Jonny just got his shots today! He was such a good boy, he never even cried! :) #diseasesarebad"
We've all seen it. We're numb to it.
We all know vaccines are the greatest thing since sliced bread. We've seen it in children's books and cartoons, sing along songs, and homework.
But what if I told you that it wasn't always like this? What if I told you people weren't always scared of these terrifying diseases?
In fact, back in the early 1900's, when the measles really was an epidemic, there were around 4 million reported cases per year, and around 400 average deaths from it annually in the US alone.
The crazy part is, no one was freaking out about it. Just ask your grandparents. It was a common illness that was for centuries considered a rite of passage. Even before we started adopting better sanitation practices nationally, Measles only killed at an 0.002% rate. That was before we figured out that vitamin A intake was extremely important in aiding the body during a case of the Measles. A century ago, even in 1915, the death rate was nowhere near 1 or 2 in 1000 as the CDC tells us it is. It was almost comedic at the time to think of panicking when someone you knew got it. Many people would intentionally try to expose themselves, since everyone knew it tended to be less severe the younger you were, so there was motivation to defeat it naturally and become immune for the remainder of life. Even 100 years ago, physicians knew that getting the Measles was a good thing. Fever is good for your body; it's a natural detoxification of harmful toxins that have hi-jacked your body. Once the rash goes away in a week, and the fever subsides, you're left healthy as a horse and up for anything life throws your way. Bummer that you weren't feeling good for a few days, but the results were well worth it.
I ask, have we gotten smarter or dumber in the last one hundred years?
I know what you're thinking. The Measles obviously got deadlier in the last century. Thankfully there was a vaccine invented in 1963; the first killed virus vaccine began to be widely used until it was shelved due to unforeseen safety and efficacy issues in 1968 for the live virus vaccine. Then, in 1971, Merck's first MMR began to be widely distributed and became wildly popular, thanks to Measles cases decreasing drastically due to the vaccine. At least... that's what the CDC says:
Interestingly, the CDC is not using accurate data here. They don't provide any graphs or statistics from American historical records; they just expect you to believe them. Of course, you should be able to believe them. They are supposed to be a transparent, forthcoming branch of our government; one that we should be able to trust and turn to for accurate information. However, some of the real, historical records indicate that the CDC is lying once again when they claim that in the decade before the measles vaccine was first introduced - the 50's - an estimated 3 to 4 million people were infected, and 400 to 500 people died. The following is from a different pro-vaccine website:
Above, you can observe two things.
One, the chart starts in the year 1954, instead of going back further to give the viewer a more accurate picture of the case numbers decreasing dramatically well before the vaccine was introduced. This is done to achieve the goal of impacting the way people perceive the situation.
Even based on this graph, you can see that even ten years before the vaccine is introduced, there were 700,000 reported cases, not 3-4 million. Even if the CDC's exaggeration of numbers is based on estimating that the number of actual cases is much higher than the number reported, their argument is stifled. If there really were 3-4 million cases annually in the decade before the measles vaccines was introduced(which is entirely possible), then we'd have a death rate of 1 in 10,000, not 1-2 every thousand. Starting to sound fishy yet? Oh, I'm not done.
The CDC also claims that in the decade before the vaccine, there were 400-500 deaths annually. But were there? The answer is no. Not even close.
The graph above, taken from the Historical Statistics of the Unites States, and the Office of National Statistics in England and Wales, gives us a more accurate picture of the true decline in deaths from the measles, long before the vaccine ever burst onto the scene. The death rate had plummeted by 98% before people were getting stuck in the arm with artificial immunity.
So why does the CDC, the WHO, and hundreds of other renowned, well respected sources continue to misguide us in thinking that the Measles is much deadlier and dangerous than it really is? The other sources(hospital websites, renowned doctors, etc) are all taking their lead from the CDC to be accurate with their information, and the CDC is telling us how dangerous the Measles is and how we need to be vaccinated against it. What we as a nation are experiencing right now is cognitive dissonance at its finest. We hear and read something so many times that it becomes reality and truth, even though we've never really looked into the matter for ourselves thoroughly. We choose to trust that something is true when often repeated.
In the link and picture below, I will emphatically demonstrate further that the CDC and the WHO are lying when they say 1-2 out of every 1000 will die from measles. These are official statistics from the UK government website.
Notice the year 1994: 16,375 (reported) cases, and 0 deaths.
This will show you that there is no set death rate for the measles. It depends completely on a mixture of previous health, nourishment, and global location.
So why are we being led to believe that the Measles is something to be feared, when we now know it's a typically benign childhood illness that leaves you with lifetime immunity and a myriad of other health benefits?
Just to further illustrate my point, let's look at a more recent study that confirms what we're saying. Below is a link and an excerpt from a study on the outbreak of measles in France from 2008-2011:
Now we can all see that the CDC and the WHO, along with countless other sources that copy their information, including numerous media outlets, are grossly misrepresenting data. But we haven't answered why they are doing it.
To understand that, we must take a look at another aspect of the great vaccine debate: Herd Immunity.
We all know what herd immunity is. We've all heard that we're supposed to get vaccinated to protect those around us that have weak or compromised immune systems. We've been told by the CDC that herd immunity is what is achieved when a certain number of the population is vaccinated for disease. We've all seen the following links and graphs, which we're expected to just believe because again, we see this information everywhere, including our doctor's office. It must be true, right?
We can all relate to cute little graphs and easy to understand cartoons, so that's probably why they are used. But we're not stupid, are we? Let's look into herd immunity a little further and see what the history and the science actually say about it. Below is a link and an excerpt from a comprehensive study of herd immunity published in Oxford Journals. I have highlighted the quote below because it clearly shows that herd immunity as we know it depends on the vaccine being extremely effective. We'll soon see that vaccines aren't nearly as effective as we're led to believe.
Next we look at an article written by one of the nation's top neurosurgeons, Dr. Russell Blaylock, MD.
Dr. Blaylock brilliantly illustrates why herd immunity is a myth, and how easy it is to see it.
Feeling snookered yet?
Don't feel bad; when I first saw this stuff, I was skeptical too. I wasn't very open to the fact that I'd been controlled throughout my life to have a certain opinion. When I realized that I believed what I did because I'd fallen for a hefty helping of misguidance, I was embarrassed. When I realized that I'd never actually looked into a decision like vaccinating my children, and had relied on the government to provide accurate information for my doctor and I, and that they didn't really have my best interest at heart, I got defensive. I looked for any reason to read the information you're seeing here(plus countless other sources) in the light that vaccines really are completely safe and effective. I was blissfully and ignorantly cognitively dissonant, and had my rosy red shades on until I watched this video, a lecture on herd immunity and the Measles by Dr. Tetyana Obukhanych, PhD, Immunology. It opened my eyes, and has opened the eyes of numerous others as well:
To summarize, herd immunity as we know it does not exist, and never will. Not enough people respond to vaccines to make it a reality. Well over 50% of the population is currently not immune to "vaccine preventable" diseases, and yet there are no terrible outbreaks as we might expect. This should make anyone realize that vaccines had less to do with diseases declining than we've been told. It has never actually been scientifically proven that vaccines eliminated any disease, or that they save the millions of lives that is claimed by the US government or The World Health Organization. We need to realize that what third world countries(which is where the scare stats are generated from) need is clean water and better sanitation. Not vaccines.
Also, keep in mind that there are ZERO studies on crucial aspects of vaccine safety, including rigorous safety studies on the long term effects of vaccine ingredients. There are no long term studies on the current childhood vaccination schedule, which has tripled in the last 30 years. There are no US studies of the overall health of vaccinated versus unvaccinated children. Thousands of parents report that their unvaccinated children are far healthier and consistently have much fewer health issues than their older, vaccinated siblings. We need to take notice of this and demand a large scale study to put this debate to bed. We are often told that the science proves vaccines are safe, but in reality, the science is on the side of the vaccine skeptics. Below, I will highlight several peer reviewed studies that link vaccines to a myriad of health issues, including autism. Many of these studies demand more research in certain areas, which is often not done.
"The Future of Measles In Highly Vaccinated Populations" - PubMed
"However, despite short-term success in eliminating the disease, long-range projections demonstrate that the proportion of susceptibles in the year 2050 may be greater than in the prevaccine era. Present vaccine technology and public health policy must be altered to deal with this eventuality."
"Intense Exposure May Have Resulted in High Risk, Even among Revaccinees" - Oxford Journals
"Vaccinated and unvaccinated students were equally able to infect their siblings. Total protection against measles might not be achievable, even among revaccinees, when children are confronted with intense exposure to measles virus. Am J Epidemiol 1998; 148;1103-10."
"Measles inclusion-body encephalitis caused by the vaccine strain of measles virus." -PubMed
"The presence of measles virus in the brain tissue was confirmed by reverse transcription polymerase chain reaction. The nucleotide sequence in the nucleoprotein and fusion gene regions was identical to that of the Moraten and Schwarz vaccine strains; the fusion gene differed from known genotype A wild-type viruses."
"Aluminum in the central nervous system (CNS): toxicity in humans and animals, vaccine adjuvants, and autoimmunity." -PubMed
"In young children, a highly significant correlation exists between the number of pediatric aluminum-adjuvanted vaccines administered and the rate of autism spectrum disorders. Many of the features of aluminum-induced neurotoxicity may arise, in part, from autoimmune reactions, as part of the ASIA syndrome."
"Impact of environmental factors on the prevalence of autistic disorder after 1979" -Academic Journals, 2014
Now that you're getting the picture that the science is far from settled, and that "anti-vaxxers" are "anti-science" or have been "debunked", I invite you to continue researching the peer reviewed scientific studies that you've probably been told at some point do not exist. The link below is to a website that has compiled well over 100 such studies, some blatantly obvious, others requiring a bit more thinking and a general understanding of science. They all point to the same thing: Vaccines are not as safe or effective as we've been led to believe. These studies are only the tip of the iceberg.
Still think vaccines saved us?
Still believe the science has been settled?
Still of the opinion that "anti-vaxxers" are just uneducated morons who are endangering their kids and everyone else around them?
If you said yes to any of these questions, I don't think I can help you. Perhaps you actually need a psychiatric evaluation. I realize it's hard to jump into this topic with an open mind, especially since we've all been programmed to believe vaccines are completely safe and effective. However, that doesn't give you or your doctor a good enough reason not to recognize a con when you see it. Many doctors are starting to research the topic themselves, after spending at least 8 years in med school being programmed to only see the potential benefits of vaccines. Perhaps this is why we're seeing more and more doctors around the country that have decided to be flexible with parent's wishes, and actually disclose the warnings, risks, and contraindications that each vaccine package insert tells them to disclose with each patient. It's quite encouraging. By the way, if you're new to this topic, make sure you read some package inserts. They provide clinical study results and warnings of side effects for each vaccine. Reading them is truly eye opening.
For good measure, I've included a few memes which illustrate two major points of the debate quite well:
Kermit has a point. He's looking at it from a more accurate perspective, instead of focusing on the very small chance that you'll suffer some sort of severe complication from measles. He must know that we've discovered that with proper vitamin A, C, and D intake, we can set our bodies up naturally to handily defeat a typically benign disease. But that's none of his business; just ask any hard core pro-vaxxer.
Boromir has a legitimate case. Just ask Dr. Blaylock or Dr. Obukhanych. Vaccines only target one aspect of the immune system, and only about 50% of the population even respond well to it, gaining temporary immunity of up to 10 years.
With all this in mind, the question becomes:
Why is this vaccine debate so one-sided?
There is a concerted effort underway to make "anti-vaxxers", AKA people who question vaccines, sound completely irrational and uneducated. We as a people are being divided, and it is the doing of media corporations, who in turn are heavily invested in by the big pharmaceutical companies, who obviously can't afford for their multi-billion dollar industry to be questioned or ignored. There is a vast amount of information out there that will allow you to put together the pieces yourself; you just have to put the time in. I don't have that kind of time to include every link and statistic I've compiled over my time in the vaccine trenches.
All we "anti-vaxxers" want is a fair representation. We are parents of vaccine injured children, or people who have put in countless hours researching vaccines to come to solid opinions and beliefs. We are being treated like outcasts, germ infested freaks, and chronic liars, when that couldn't be further from the truth. We only want other parents to have unbiased and balanced information to base their choices on. In general this is not being given, and it's time that changes.
So ask yourself, what's so bad about questioning a medical procedure that has killed, maimed, and altered the lives of millions?
They want to make vaccines mandatory. A good product should not have to be made mandatory.
A good product should sell itself.
And now, even more lies are being spread about us. For example, Things Anti-Vaxxers Say(TAVS), a popular pro-vax Facebook page, is renowned for their privacy-breaching tactics. They capture pictures from people that question vaccines and post them in their group, twisting words, taking quotes out of context, and publicly mocking parents who have experienced their child being injured by vaccines. It's utterly despicable and is the definition of cyber bullying. Many of them have been known to call CPS on people who express concern about vaccinating their children. It is a breeding ground for all sorts of low life juveniles and deplorable lies. For example, here's a comment that is generally common place there:
If that makes you sick to your stomach, that's a good sign. This is how this fight is being fought on the pro-vaccine side. Not with science, not with respect, not even with dignity. It's completely over the line, but unfortunately many people buy it, because the mainstream media is not reporting this topic fairly or accurately at all. It's easy to despise someone who is knowingly putting your kids in danger. That is, if they're really putting your kids in danger.
We are not, and we only want to avoid the chance for life altering injury for our kids via vaccines.
If you can see this more clearly now, I thank you for taking the time to read this.
You can help by doing more research, and studying the actual science behind vaccines, instead of just blindly following the masses. Critical thinking, logic, and common sense are great tools in this fight. We don't need science or medical degrees to do the research ourselves and see we've been had.
If any of the information here has resonated with you and you'd like to learn more, join my Facebook group, The Vaccine Gamble. The information contained there is mind blowing. I've only scratched the surface in this blog, believe me.
Just remember, you do have a choice, but unless you stand your ground and speak up for your rights now, those choices may disappear sooner than you think. We are on the verge of medical dictatorship and a totalitarian government, and we need to speak up against it if we want our rights preserved. It may appear to be a lopsided fight, but with each person who stands their ground comes a shift in power. Let's take it back.
I leave you with a powerful video on the topic of a new internet phenomenon called "Astroturfing".
Friends, it's time to grab some shears and get to work.

I never thought of staying in a treehouse…it simply looks like it wouldn't be comfortable! Great lens!

The Fabulous, Most Groovy: Director Edgar Wright's Favourite Albums
Mark Andrews
, June 23rd, 2017 09:39
With 'Baby Driver' all set to be one of the Summer's biggest hits, director Edgar Wright sits down with the Quietus to choose his 13 favourite albums
Lalo Schifrin - Mission: Impossible... And More!
Lalo Schifrin is always a go-to person when I'm trying to write. A lot of these songs inspire me. I find myself lifted and transported.
I'm a huge soundtrack fan obviously. There are so many composers whose work I love, from Quincy Jones to Ennio Morricone to David Shire to John Carpenter. I could have picked the soundtracks to The Good, The Bad and The Ugly or Vampyros Lesbos, but I chose this album because it covers so much ground and because Lalo Schifrin has written two of my favourite full scores: Bullitt and Dirty Harry. Even Dirty Harry, which is a tough thriller, he manages to make ridiculously funky. 'Scorpio's Theme' is incredible.
A lot of contemporary film scores are not very tuneful and are more about mood and tone. Back in the 60s and 70s, you'd have someone like Lalo Schifrin making music for TV and film and the songs were almost like singles in their own right. You don't get scores like this any more.
The key track on Mission: Impossible... And More! is 'Jim On The Move', which is from the Mission Impossible TV show. This album also has 'The Danube Incident' which Portishead sampled (for 'Sour Times'). It's such a lush album. Even his versions of 'Maria' and 'The In-Crowd' are huge sounding and romantic and fun. 'Lalo's Bossa Nova' – which Quincy Jones did a cover of – is great. Even when you get to 'Theme From Medical Center' - which I've never seen, but I imagine it's pretty trashy – it's a glorious two and a half minutes.
It's an album that never fails to put a smile on my face.

Man arrested for DWI after crashing truck with infant inside into canal
BATON ROUGE - A man is in custody after he was accused of crashing his truck into a canal while driving drunk with an infant in the vehicle early Monday morning.
41-year-old Charles Matz, of Baton Rouge, was booked on charges of DWI, vehicular negligent injuring, careless operation and driving under suspension after the wreck, which happened around 1:30 a.m. Monday.
Matz was driving a Ford F-150 on Siegen Lane near Airline Highway when he ran off the roadway and into a canal along the side of the roadway.
Matz and an infant inside of the truck sustained minor injuries during the wreck. Both were taken to an area hospital to be treated, according to LSP.
More details surrounding the arrest are expected shortly. Check back with this story for updates.

Movable type printing was invented around 1450, but it took about another 50 years before the technology was developed to print music. At this point, we suddenly find large amounts of dance music being published, the majority from modern-day France and Belgium. But what we find elsewhere is very much the same. In fact, some of these same tunes are still played in Sweden. They are all song-like melodies; in many cases we have the original song as well. The tunes may be a bit distorted to fit to a dance beat, but are still very recognizable. Usually they are arranged in four-part harmony; presumably this was normally improvised in the manner of a modern Dixieland band.
So in such an environment, how did a musician demonstrate skill and virtuosity? The answer is, for both vocalists and instrumentalists, by adding complex ornamentation to the original simple tune. By the Renaissance, this had been formalized into the playing of divisions, complex variations on the original tune. For example, the Elizabethan-era Fitzwilliam Virginal Book contains a number of keyboard works by noted composer/performers of the time, such as William Byrd, which consist of sets of divisions on popular songs of the time. (There is an excellent website, The Keyboard Music of William Byrd by John Sankey, which has MIDI versions of Byrd's music.)
In case it is suspected that playing divisions was an practice confined to art music composers, we have ample evidence to the contrary. We have complaints such as that of Matthew Locke in the preface to his Little Consort for Viols or Violin, about "the tearing of a Consort in pieces with divisions-an old custom of our country fiddlers". We have accounts by some of the more honest composers admitting that some dance musicians were as good at or better than themselves at playing divisions. And finally, we have actual sets of divisions surviving in the Northumbrian pipe repertoire, and to a lesser extent in the uilleann pipe repertoire.
Things began to change around 1600 in Italy. A school of thought arose which was supposed based on a revival of the purity of ancient Greek music (about which they actually knew little if anything). In any case, ornamentation was reduced so that the words could be understood. For the same reason, complex polyphony was replaced by a single melodic line and a simple accompaniment based on a harmonized bass line, or "continuo". It was the beginning of what we now know as Baroque music. Another feature of the new style was that instrumental performance was divorced from vocal performance and for the first time stood on its own. The leading instrument in the new Italian style was the violin, which had been around for a century or so. Now it developed its own performance style, with an extended range of notes and non-vocal techniques such as double-stops.
It took most of the rest of the century for the new style to catch on throughout Europe. This involved, among other things, developing new instruments to replace the Renaissance instruments such as the crumhorn, which did not have a wide enough range for the new style. The lute acquired a new tuning as its role changed to that of a continuo instrument.
Folk musicians, as usual, lagged behind the changes taking place in art music world. Throughout the 1600s they continued to play divisions on popular songs. (If you are going to play divisions, it's best to start with a simple tune to give yourself lots of scope to add notes more in.) But by the early 1700s they seem to have caught up, as we can see happening in Scotland. This seems to be about the time the modern violin became popular, replaced the older, more primitive medieval fiddles. (England was a hold-out, violins being regarded as a common, vulgar instrument compared to the noble viol, until the Restoration of Charles II, who brought a French violin band back with him.)
Tunes such as jigs and reels are intrinsically full of fast notes; while their performance can certainly be varied, they are not suited for embellishments of the division type. Many of the old tunes had only a single strain which would be tedious if repeated without variation. Hence there was a rush to equip existing tunes with second strains. Many of these would have been chosen out of the floating divisions which had been passed along aurally, just as jazz musicians learn a body of standardized licks, riffs and solo lines, which they draw from in their improvisations. Others were composed by known performers. This process is very well documented in Scotland.
But what was going on in Ireland at this period? Here we return to the Belfast Harp Festival. As the Gaelic aristocracy got pushed out and replaced by the English, the harpers attempted to keep their lucrative jobs by adapting to a style that was more like what was in fashion in England. All the harpers except Hempson played gut-strung harps instead of the traditional Gaelic harp. The most noted harper-composer of the century was Turlough O'Carolan, who devised a style which combined the Irish tradition with the Italian Baroque. His tunes were not only popular with 18th century harpers, but many survived in the repertoire of fiddlers and pipers to be collected by Bunting (or Lynch); quite a few were printed by Francis O'Neill in the early 20th century. Carolan doesn't seem to have left a stylistic influence in traditional music, in that no one else seems to have composed in this style. If traditional players performed Carolan tunes (and it is a point of debate how much they did), it was as an item of curiosity rather than an integral part of the tradition.
Caoimhín notes with reference to the O'Neill collection:
Of the 70+ Carolan pieces in Music of Ireland, only two are credited to sources other than the two O'Neill editors, one to McFadden and one to Cronin, the seven or so others were to Francis O'Neill or James O'Neill with the rest unsourced (meaning he got them from publications) and you need to remember very very often when Francis cites himself or James as sources he othen means he has re-edited something they got from a publication. I've done a lot of work on this and a popular article will appear on the work (which has been rigourously checked by Nicholas Carolan and Jackie Small) in February 1998, with a more academic work appearing in Summer 1998.
Published in 1804, O'Farrell's Collection of National Irish Music for the Union Pipes was the first significant collection of Irish dance music collected and written down by a traditional musician. O'Farrell was an Irish piper who performed on the London stage in the late 18th century. His collection includes several Carolan tunes: Bumper Squire Jones, Captain O Cain, Carolan's Dream, Carolan's Farewell to Music, Carolan's Receipt for Drinking Whiskey. So there is evidence that some of Carolan's tunes were in circulation among traditional players. Incidentally, a number of tunes in this collection are provided with sets of variations.
Caoimhín himself has collected an example which appears to be a survival of the old harp music preserved by folk musicians:
While stories and songs were being collected from John Doherty at Árd McCool in Stranorlar during early 1997 he played a very unusual air. This involved bowing the melody on the bottom strings of the fiddle using only the first and second fingers. In the meantime, he formed a simple chord on the top two strings using open strings and his third finger. He plucked the chords simultaneously with his little finger, in accompaniment to the simultaneously bowed melody of the air. Doherty later explained that the chord plucking was to imitate a harp, as the piece was originally a harp tune which had come down through the long line of fiddlers in his family and which he learned from his father.

Between the Jigs and the Reels

So I argue that during the 1700s the patronized musicians had to adapt to support themselves by adopting what was the currently fashionable style, and what they adopted was the kind of music that was all the rage in Scotland and elsewhere in Britain, namely the new jigs and reels and the like. They adopted a lot of tunes, and they also took a lot of their own existing melodic material and changed it to fit the new style. So they turned 6/8 clan marches into jigs, folksongs into reels, etc. The same thing happened in the 19th century when the polka became popular. The Irish didn't adopt many polka tunes from outside sources. Instead they took their existing melodies and changed the rhythm to turn them into polkas.
In the case of Carolan, his melodies were certainly influenced by continental models, but his playing style apparently made no attempt to imitate the continuo accompaniment style common in Baroque music. Instead, it appears to have been very similar to what Bunting recorded from Hempson and is found in his notes (not in his publications). It seems likely that this style is the traditional manner of playing the Gaelic harp.
About 200 of Carolan's airs survive, both instrumental pieces and songs, with, in many cases, their words, but unfortunately most are only in single line form, so that it is not definitely known how he harmonized or accompanied his melodies. The key to this problem may lie in a book of Carolan's music of which only one incomplete copy is known to exist, in the National Library of Ireland. In the absence of the title page, this book was until recently mistakenly thought to have been published in 1721 by the Neal brothers of Dublin; but examination of the watermark has now proved that the book dates from 1742 at the earliest. It seems almost certain that this is the book known to have been published in 1748 by Carolan's son, in collaboration with Dr. Delany of Dublin University, and of which no complete copy has ever been found. Carolan's son would have known how is father played, and the arrangement of the music in this book perhaps provides a clue to Carolan's own method of performance and to the Irish traditional harping style as as whole. The melodies are accompanied by a single line bass. Salient features are the absence of conventional harmony, and the moving bass which is often in octaves with the treble, and often anticipates or echoes the melody lines.

So although the Irish traditional music of today took its current form in the 1700s, much of the melodic material goes back a lot further. As far as sean-nós singing is concerned, we have some indications that it did not change very much at this period, and was essentially the same some centuries earlier. In fact, sean-nós may be very close to the singing style of the old troubadors, but we don't know enough about how they sang to be able to say whether or no. Or it may have been in the 1700s that the former patronized poets brought in the French influence, although personally I think it was there a long time before.
So as yet we haven't answered the question what was pre-1700s Irish dance music like. Now one approach would be to say that it was much the same as everywhere else. We know that in the Middle Ages and Renaissance, although there were differences in emphasis from one country to another, music was pretty much the same whether you were in Italy, France, Poland or wherever. In fact, musicians tended to travel around a lot from one place to the other, in the same way as other skilled craftsmen like stonemasons.
Ireland was very much connected to the rest of Europe during the Middle Ages. Before the Reformation, the same church music was used throughout Europe, including Ireland. Many Irishmen were involved in the great medieval monastic orders. We see compositions such as Omnis caro peccaverat (The lai of Noah and the flood) (recorded by Sequentia, Visions from the Book, harmonia mundi 05472 77347 2, 1996) and the well-known Christmas hymn Angelus ad virginem in the 14th century Dublin Troper, which differ little from similar works found on the Continent.
One of the most delightful of all popular songs is that which 'hende Nicholas' sang in The Miller's Tale, 'so swetely that all the chambre rong', Angelus ad Virginem. It is songs of this sort which show the need for a 'third estate' when we are talking of medieval music. Angelus ad Virginem is clearly neither folk-song nor art-song, but something in-between.

Irishman and Scotsman went to the Crusades, and made pilgrimages (the Irish were said to be particularly fond of the pilgrimage to Santiago de Compostela). Ireland had trade links to Spain, the Scottish Gaels to Scandinavia, and Lowland Scotland to France and Germany. The Gaelic nobility possessed manuscripts on medicine and astronomy (possibly based on Gaelic tradition, rather than copies of Greek or Arabic texts) said to surpass any in Europe. Irish mercenaries fought in Germany. So by this argument, Irish music should have been not too much different than anywhere else.
At a time when the coast of Saintonge was not yet silted up, it had numerous harbours. Saintes, the capital of Saintonge, was one of the important secondary pilgrimages on the road to Compostela, and Irish pilgrims, whichever road they took, were bound to call there. The effect of such journeys is clearly shown by a well-documented itinerary which shows an English pilgrim, Oliver de Merlemond, going to the sanctuary of St. James around 1140, and as a result of what he had seen, building on his return, at Shobden (Herefordshire), a church with two portals and carved tympana obviously inspired by a facade like that of the church at Parthenay-le-Vieux (Deux Sèvres). This was the starting point of a school of carving whose decoration is as eclectic as that of the Irish doorways, albeit made of slightly different elements. Though there is no Irish document of the same precision as that which survived by a stroke of luck for Shobden, one can assume that similar journeys are responsible for much of the importations of Continental elements which are such a distinctive feature of Irish Romanesque.

We can find some similarities to Renaissance music in the playing of Denis Hempson. For example, he does something called Faigh an Gléas ("Get the tuning") which is a sort of rambling piece that allows you to check and modify your tuning before you start anything else. This is very useful for a modal instrument like the old harps, where you have to change the tuning to play in different modes. And we find the same sort of preludes used elsewhere in Europe for lutes and keyboard instruments (this was before equal temperament came into use). So in the field of dance music, we might expect to find Irish dance musicians playing divisions on popular songs. And since we can see some remnants of this sort of playing in the piping repertoire, it is quite plausible, but we have no contemporary evidence.
However close the relationship of Ireland to European culture in the Middle Ages, however, the religious problems that tore Europe apart during the Renaissance caused Ireland to become less connected to European culture. Even in England, it is said that the music of the court of Henry VIII seemed to lag the trends of France or Italy by nearly a century.
the same writer [Ristéard Ó Foghludha] adds: "Much that I have said about Gaelic art and literature is equally true of Mediaeval art and literature in general. This is another way of saying that the Renaissance hardly reached the Gaeldom.".
This is a pregnant passage, though the statement that the Renaissance hardly reached the Gaeldom needs to be modified. What really happened was this: Whatever of the Renaissance came to Ireland met a culture so ancient, widely-based and well-articulated, that it was received only on sufferance; it had to veil its crest and conform to a new order; it did not become acclimatised, as had happened elsewhere; it was rather assimilated, assimilated so thoroughly that its features can no longer be discerned, though its effect are felt whenever the subsequent culture of the Gael is compared with the pre-Renaissance.

Although what we know today of division playing comes mostly from the Renaissance, the practice most certainly goes back to medieval times, so its existence in Ireland is highly likely, whether or not there was much musical influence from Europe during the Renaissance. And the same kind of assimilation that Corkery mentions took place as well at a later period, I argue, with the new type of dance music that was catching on elsewhere in Britain during the eighteenth century.
But Hempson said one other thing that is quite curious. When Bunting asked him to play certain old tunes, he completely refused. He said that it would be pointless since no one nowadays would understand them, and it would only make him depressed to think about his old departed friends. What was he talking about?
It may be that he was referring to ceòl mòr ("great music"), which is nowadays known as "pibroch", the classical music of the Highland bagpipe. This consists of a basic urlar ("ground"), which is stylized and then subjected to a number of variations which involve the insertion of different types of ornaments. It's a very intellectual type of music which does not appeal much to the modern listener. (For more information check out A Short Primer on Pibroch, if you can find it.)
Ceòl mòr is a bit of a puzzler on the pipes because the whole concept seems to have appeared out of nowhere, although the stories accompanying some of the tunes would indicate that they go back to medieval times. It's now thought that ceòl mòr was adopted wholesale from the Gaelic harp. The names of the various ornaments can be related to the harp ornaments that Bunting collected from Hempson, and the pipe ornaments can be related to ornaments that are natural to the harp. Ceòl mòr is in fact a style of music that appears to be utterly unrelated to anything else known in Europe; it seems to be unique to the Gaels, and probably very old indeed. Although it is a variation form, it is very much unlike the playing of divisions which we find elsewhere.
A parallel may be found in the chanter scale of the great Highland (Scottish) bagpipe. As a music instrument it was second only to the harp in Gaelic regions, and its three-part construction closely resembles the cosmological construction of the cláirseach with a 'male' chanter corresponding to the harppillar, a 'female' bag corresponding to the soundbox, and 'sacred' drones being a counterpart to the cláirseach neck. If the drones may be thought of as sounding na comhluighe G instead of the A or A# to which their modern pitch falls the closest, its nine-note chanter sounds a scale of F-G-A-B-C-D-E-F-G, precisely matching the cláirseach's mixolydian G tuning.

It's not known whether ceòl mòr was supported only by the aristocrats. Probably, as it has done in historical times on the pipes, it co-existed with ceòl beag ("small music"), dance music that was influenced by European tunes. But it would be consistent with the appreciation for art and learning seen at all levels of Gaelic society if it spoke to chief and peasant alike.
As Caoimhín points out, the meaning of the word "traditional" depends on context. And it's rare that anything in music is created out of nothing-normally it is some kind of variation of what came before. But I believe that a significant part of the Gaelic music tradition in Ireland died with Denis Hempson, leaving its trace only in the ceòl mòr of the Highland pipes.
There are a few other minor points in which my opinions differ from Caoimhín. He says:
Start with instruments. There are very good ideas and even some examples of the kinds of instruments that were used before the advent of publishing. These allow us to conjecture the maximum level of performance which could be got by even a very gifted player of the day. In the case of fiddles (probably the most widely available along with fipple flutes) these indicate that the performance levels would not be of today's "technical wizardy" status. Even consider the playing advancements that string manufacturing technology have delivered to us. When trying to logically work backwards, look at what has been the approach of classical players trying to reproduce very early "period" performances. Their experience, and I believe the parallel with traditional music is very strong, indicates the general type of music played was simpler and to an extent slower.
Admittedly, early instruments were often a bit harder to play, but a good performer can get much more out of a mediocre instrument than a mediocre performer can get out of a good instrument. I can think of a lot of early music which requires a high degree of technical skill, and it is usually much more complex rhythmically than classical music. Of course, this is art music I am talking about. Granted, the dance music published in the 1500s is usually performed slowly, simply, and exactly as writtenby today's performers! But modern classical performers lack the improvisational skills that would have been second nature to the Renaissance dance musician.
Likewise, think of the social conditions of the era. If we are looking for "the music of the people" then the general populations of the pre-1600s were largely concentrating on basic survival! The amount of time they could devote to practising (our modern day "leisure time") was minimal. The average level of dexterity due to gruelling, heavy, largely agricultural manual labour would mean performance ability would be lower than that we know now. I also suspect that, like the "house dance players" of the early part of this century (who to a considerable degree parallel the latter group of players described) , they had a drastically smaller repertoire than the modern player has, as they only needed enough tunes to provide music for a couple of dances.
I don't agree with this completely, because I think that most of the ancient musicians were travelling professionals. This was just as true in 19th century Ireland. Padraig O'Keefe and John Doherty were late examples of the type. If they had any profession other than music it would be something that didn't involve heavy labour, such as tin-smithing or selling used clothes. Amateur performers were not common until the end of the 19th century. Look at the early collections such as O'Farrell's and you will see some pretty challenging tunes.
Hammy Hamilton, the well-known Irish flute maker, posted the following to the IRTRAD-L list in July 1994:
I've been working in this area for some time and I believe that there is a strong connection between the improvement in social and economic conditions in Ireland at the end of the 19th century and the rise of amateur playing of traditional music. It seems that previously the vast majority of players were professional.
But likely the repertoire was much smaller and more local. There are reports from the 18th and 19th century of pipers who only knew one or two tunes being pressed into action at dances for want of any better. But going back further, if musicians spent a lot of time exploring the division-playing possibilities of a tune, there wouldn't be the need for as many tunes as today when you only play them two or three times without much variation and go on to the next. But the tunes you did have would need to be good ones.
Probably tunes were played slower than today, but I think that's more because modern players don't play for dancing as much. Some of the 19th century pipers were criticized for playing tunes too fast, though.
As regards what types of melodies were played, I agree with the thinking proposed by Henrik Norbeck that the melodies in the earliest publications are based on pre-existing ones which have been adapted to some extent, but I would stress that I, myself, think the types of melodies would be considered today to be simple, or, "the bones of the tunes".
I agree with this, but I think that simple melodies would have been chosen because of how well they would adapt to division playing, which could have displayed a high technical standard with the best performers. Likely, though, there were also a good percentage of performers who were not of the best standards.
Without those who have worked to pass on the music it would not have survived. As a result, if you play even just one tune you are indebted to a long line of people stretching back some goodly amount of time for having kept either the melody or the technical/ornamentation skills alive to be able to play that tune.
An extremely profound statement, worthy of being placed on the front page of all tune collections!
Not that it proves anything, but I recently had the opportunity to go through some of my theory in practice. I was performing when someone came up with a big tip and requested Greensleeves for his dear old mother. It's not a tune that I usually playbut it is in O'Neill's collection. I couldn't say no to someone's dear old grey-haired mother, so we launched into the usual version. Then I thought, let's try some divisions, and it proved to be a great tune for that (not surprisingly, it's based on the Romanesca ground, one of the classic Renaissance harmonic ground patterns). And then I finished off by playing it as a jig, as found in O'Neill's. It all worked very successfullythe musical development followed history perfectly. Try the experiment some time!

Whether it's documenting patient visits more quickly, using automated messaging to create and send notes to referring physicians, taking advantage of timesaving electronic prescribing and electronic prior authorizations or enjoying the convenience of having clinical content and tools all in one place, Rheumatologists tell us they have increased overall productivity and efficiency since implementing Aprima.
Discover what Aprima can do for your Rheumatology practice.
Built-in clinical content and integrated tools include:
- DAS28: Monitor patients' rheumatoid arthritis using quantitative measures of disease activities.
- DMARD: Review DMARD history to see what drugs have been used with the patient and the efficacy of those drugs — information that factors into what new medications insurance will cover.
- Homunculus Man: Support your physical exams using your pen to electronically document the number and distribution of your patients' swollen and tender joints and differentiate bony from soft tissue swelling.
- Infusion Therapy: Use electronic prior authorization for infusion therapies you provide to patients.
- Vectra DA: Document the results of this advanced blood test to monitor the disease activity of your patients with rheumatoid arthritis over time — helping you to study trends in lab results.
Speed and efficiency at the point of care
Whether it's a new patient consult, or a follow-up visit, our tools drive speed and efficiency.
- NO TEMPLATES! Chart the way you were trained to think and follow the flow of your exam no matter what direction it may take.
- Aprima EHR follows you, instead of making you follow it. Chart by procedure, problem or previous visit for fast documentation. Your past notes can be carried forward to the current note so you're not charting from scratch.
- Adaptive Learning lets Aprima EHR learn your preferences as you work. Enjoy a smart EHR that seems to read your mind, so you'll be up and running with minimal effort. Aprima auto-learns treatment plans for your most common patient complaints, making it easy and fast to document your procedures, order tests and provide recommendations.
True INTEROPERABILITY speeds transactions and reduces errors
In addition to the Patient Portal, which allows your patients to input data and communicate with you securely, Aprima supports Direct Messaging, is a member of the CommonWell® Health Alliance and has thousands of interfaces.
Enter data your way
Use touch screen, point and click, keyboard, handwriting recognition, transcribing or dictating - you choose the input method or combine them all within the same note!
Streamline and automate your practice's workflow
- Autogenerate messages back to a patient's PCP or referring physician, so you spend less time dictating letters
- Use integrated messaging and integrated fax to communicate directly with providers
- Verify patients' insurance eligibility and policy coverage more easily
- Process electronic prior authorizations within the e-prescribing workflow in less than five minutes
- E-prescribe controlled substances to manage patients' pain
Rapid reimbursement
- Receive reimbursement from Medicare and private health insurers more quickly
- Easily manage both insurance and patient open balances
- Accept payments more efficiently with integrated credit card processing
Aprima EHR/PM: Setting the benchmark for ease-of-use, speed and flexibility.
Want to simplify your workflow? Aprima frees you from the constraints of templates with an intuitive interface designed to follow the flow of a patient visit. With Aprima's EHR/PM solution, Rheumatology practices enjoy improvements in quality of care, patient satisfaction, quality of life and their bottom line.
"Our productivity has definitely increased. I'm able to document the physical exams while I'm seeing the patient. By the time I leave the exam room and the patient leaves, I have 90% of my notes done."- Thomas Rennie, MD, Rheumatology Associates of South TX

Protecting Your Firm as an Additional Insured
In the course of doing business, you may sometimes find yourself entering into contracts requiring that your firm be named as an additional insured on another party's insurance policies.
This is often done to make sure that your own insurance is not depleted by defense and indemnification costs for losses for which you may be legally liable as a result of the business relationship you have with the other party, but that are not due to your own firm's direct negligence.
Definition: An individual or entity that is not automatically included as an insured under the policy of another, but for whom the named insured's policy provides a certain degree of protection.
When to Be an Additional Insured
There are many times when you may want your firm included as an additional insured on another's policy. Here are just a few examples:
If you are to become an additional insured on another company's policy, confirm that the other party has indeed named your company as such with their insurance company.
You should ask for a copy of the policy that explicitly lists your company as an additional insured. You want to see a copy of the policy and the certificate of insurance, although the latter is not sufficient proof that your company has been added.
Additional insured status is effectively conferred through an additional insured endorsement to the other party's original insurance policy.
An endorsement serves as an amendment to the terms of the policy that is incorporated into the relevant insurance policy. These amendments can take the form of an endorsement that specifically names a particular additional insured, or a general endorsement that identifies some class of parties as additional insureds.
If there is a dispute about your company's status as an additional insured, you will want to have in hand not only the other party's certificate of insurance, but also a copy of the policy itself and the endorsement that makes your company an additional insured.
There are a few best practices that you can implement to help make certain your firm's status as an additional insured has been properly secured:
Thank you for visiting the Partners Insurance Agency blog. We hope you found our content helpful and informative.

Gilberto Silva
Soccer Analyst
Gilberto Silva, the 2002 FIFA World Cup champion from Brazil, joined ESPN in January as a studio analyst for the network's presentation of the 2014 FIFA World Cup Brazil, June 12 – July 13, 2014. He will appear on pre-match, halftime and post-match shows, SportsCenter, World Cup Tonight, and other FIFA World Cup-themed news and information programs.
Silva began his professional career with América Mineiro in Belo Horizonte in June 1997 at 22 years old – unique in a country where most players begin their professional careers before turning 19. Silva's career blossomed in 2000 after joining América's intra-city rival club Atlético Mineiro and the team's coach Carlos Alberto Parreira, who managed Brazil's 1994 World Cup-winning team, moved him from central defense to a defensive midfield role.
A year later in October 2001, Silva made his national team debut against Chile as a substitute. He went on to play in 16 matches for Brazil over three FIFA World Cup competitions (Korea-Japan 2002, Germany 2006 and South Africa 2010). Silva manned the midfield for the Seleção from 2001-10 and played in 89 national team matches.
Silva also played on the Brazilian National Teams that won the 2005 and 2009 FIFA Confederations Cup titles. He also captained Brazil's 2007 Copa América title winning team.
Silva's performance as a defensive midfielder on the 2002 World Cup-winning team earned him a European contract from Premier League side Arsenal FC from 2002-'08, making his debut with the club in August 2002. Due to his on-the-field play and professionalism off-the-field, Silva was named Arsenal's vice-captain in the summer of 2006 and he finished the 2006-'07 season as the team's second-highest scorer with 10 goals.
In July 2008, Silva left Arsenal and joined Panathinaikos FC, one of the most successful Greek football clubs. He helped the team reach the UEFA Champions League round of 16 in his first season. The next season, 2009-'10, Panathinaikos won both the Greek Super League title and Cup competitions.
Silva returned to Brazil to see out his professional career, first signing with Gremio in May 2011 before rejoining Atlético Mineiro in December 2012 after 11 years. Silva's impact on his old team yielded immediate results as the Belo Horizonte-based club won the 2013 Copa Libertadores over Club Olimpia of Paraguay last July.
Silva continues to play for Atlético.

I was in London over the weekend, mainly for a friend's 40th birthday dinner (Greek food, near the British Museum).
But, the Palestine Solidarity Campaign had a protest of 12 000 people strong (as far as my friend Andrew could guestimate), there was the six-mile London-version of the worldwide Naked Bicycle Ride, and I also noticed a number of things that I hadn't before in London:
- a purpose-built cycle parking facility at the Finsbury Park tube/overland station
- Wedge Card (a card to support local businesses in Stoke Newington)
- the anti-airport expansion lobby group, Plane Stupid, sponsoring a stage at a music festival, StokeFest, which itself had pretty fine music and Thai/Caribbean food.
Oh, and I watched hurling for the first time, on satellite RTE at the Auld Shillelagh (again, in Stoke Newington).
