What role opera should play in our educational system is a problem that has baffled and exercised me for my 25 years as a critic – and lover – of this great if beleaguered art form.
My feelings are complicated by the fact that my own path to opera was entirely self-motivated. Nobody in my family was interested in music unless it was Frank Sinatra, and my prep school offered only some class singing and piano lessons. But I listened with instinctive pleasure to the wonderful popular music of the early Sixties – from the shows of Rodgers and Hammerstein to the Beach Boys and the Beatles – and from there graduated to Gilbert & Sullivan. All this was simply available via public libraries and the media: nobody pushed anything at me or proselytized.
From G&S, it seemed natural to give opera a whirl: I just wanted to know what it sounded like. I started with Donizetti (Joan Sutherland singing Lucia on record) and then graduated to Mozart. With a similarly curious friend, I went to the Upper Slips at Covent Garden and then to a Prom of Don Giovanni – prices in those days unprohibitively about five bob. After that, I joined the Young Friends of Covent Garden and there was no stopping me.
All I want to emphasise is that I had no official encouragement from any adult – opera was not part of the syllabus, there were no school trips or lectures, and when I asked my benighted headmaster for special exemption from some sporting three-line whip to go and hear Sutherland and Marilyn Horne in Norma, he looked at me as though I was mad, if not malign. Opera was just my secret and personal passion.
I'd like my story to be everyone's but I recognise that I was lucky, privileged even. It helped that I lived near London, and had a couple of friends who were sympathetic, if not as addicted as I was. It also helped that at that time, pop music on the radio and television was broadly lyrical and the likes of Dusty Springfield and Marvin Gaye showed real vocal technique – several notches above today's erastz purveyors of electronically processed karaoke. So opera came easy to me: it never sounded particularly odd or extreme.
Anyway, with this experience in my mental hinterland, I have monitored many different initiatives by opera companies' education departments, all endorsed and subsidised by state agencies such as the Arts Council. They follow several basic models, some based on passive appreciation, some on active participation (learn by doing): you can perform existing operas in school, or create your own opera in collaboration with professionals; you can spend time in an opera house watching the professionals or have them come to your school to show you how they do it and let you have a bit of a go yourself.
Considerable amounts of money, effort, resources and curriculum time are expended on these projects but to what end? Certainly not the development of new audiences and a future stock of those all-important punters who are freely prepared to part with good money to see a show. Thirty years into the "opera in education" mission and I have never encountered anyone who said to me: "I was turned on to opera by a school education programme." (What does the trick is something far less tangible and unteachable – a certain romantic imaginative bent.)
The danger is that the whole business of opera in schools gets swaddled up in sanctimonious evangelizing and patronising waffle that leaves the impression that opera is musical cod liver oil – something which does you good even though it doesn't taste nice at the time, something people ought to like and that if you don't, you are in some sense falling short. This is one point at which that tiresome shibboleth about opera being "elitist" kicks in.
Let's be clear about this. Opera is not medicine: it isn't good for you, or bad for you. It's a form of entertainment, to which nobody is under any obligation to sign up, and if you don't like it, fine. I played football at school and once went to a Premier League match: I didn't enjoy it at all. End of story.
But of course, there is something to be said for giving children the opportunity to decide for themselves whether opera is something that intrigues them. Radio, television and the dominant musical culture isn't going to give them that any more – certainly not in the way that it did 30 years ago, when BBC Two broadcast a Ring cycle from Bayreuth over 10 Sundays in prime time – and that is where a scheme like English National Opera's Opera Squad comes in.
Opera Squad consists of a group of young singers and a section of ENO's orchestra spending a day at a "challenged" comprehensive school in the Greater London area. Led by a compère or animateur, they take over the hall or gym to present a 40-minute introduction to opera – focused on one work – in a series of sessions, each tailored to the general intellectual level of each student Year. The atmosphere is informal, with plenty of time for questions and a degree of participation. Later the students will visit the Coliseum, touring the theatre and watching an entire dress rehearsal.
Before I go any further I should say that Natasha Freedman, ENO's Education new broom, plans changes to the scheme, so that more time is spent exploring the theatrical and technical aspects of mounting an opera production: I think this would be a good move, especially in relation to the boys. She also hopes to work in more depth with fewer schools – the present spread is far too thin.
Meanwhile, here are some reflections on what I felt when sat in on Opera Squad several days ago at Phoenix High in Shepherd's Bush – an ethnically mixed establishment in which at least half the girls wear the hijab.
It seemed at first glance to be a well-equipped, happy and functional place, but although the children I spoke to were all articulate, cheerful and confident, Ofsted is not particularly glowing about its recent academic performance. A music teacher has only been in place for the last couple of years: Joyce Ugono seemed to be very popular.
About 150 pupils filled the school hall for each session, with the orchestra on stage, and the singers and animateur operating out front. The opera chosen was The Marriage of Figaro, extracts from which were performed by two sopranos and a baritone, who helped the animateur (Helen Ramsay, excellent) illustrate points. Wisely, no attempt was made to explain the complex plot beyond the immediate dramatic context ("here the Countess sings about how sad she feels"; "here Figaro plots revenge on his employer"), but some basic operatic conventions (recitative, aria) are explained and some instruments of the orchestra introduced.
I didn't feel it worked. The girls were generally more responsive than the boys, as one might have expected, and there was interest shown in the orchestra and the different sounds that instruments can make – the players and conductor Martin Fitzpatrick gave admirably clear, straightforward explanations of this. They are helped by the fact that film music keeps the sound of a symphony orchestra relatively familiar to these children, whose ears don't have to make any radical adjustment to novel sonorities.
The problem is the unamplified operatic voice. The kids don't like it, don't understand or identify with it: they think it is "very loud" (by which they probably mean over-resonant) and faintly ridiculous. Much more work needs to be done here, with harder thinking about what music these children are accustomed to (boys into dubstep and hiphop, girls into RnB) and how the gap between an auto-tuned miked voice and a 'natural' operatic voice can be bridged.
Most important of all, the choice of music needs to be cannier. What was selected here was mostly rather slow and stately ("Porgi amor"; "Deh vieni non tardar") and sung in a dreadfully prim, over-enunciated translation, redolent of nothing more contemporary let alone streetwise than Ealing comedy. One boy asked the perfectly intelligent question: "Why does it sound so posh?" To which there came no good answer.
Virtuosity and energy should be keywords – the tralalalala of "Largo al factotum", for instance, would make an instant impact if sung with panache, as would the comic finale to Act I of The Barber of Seville. And if you want high notes, why not the dazzling circus feat of the Queen of the Night's top Fs in her second aria? They certainly fascinated me when I was a lad. You won't get much change out of playing 13-year-olds melodies of elegant reflective melancholy: what they want is thunder and lightning, the drama of grand crescendos and spooky sound painting.
Another suggestion: might it be an interesting (and relatively cheap) experiment to send school groups to an HD cinema relay of a spectacular Met production – The Magic Flute, say – without setting up any preconceptions or suggesting that they are about to encounter something that in any sense requires explaining or introducing? The Magic Flute's first audiences, after all, didn't worry about the formalities and niceties of opera: for them, it was just a smash-hit fun musical in a West End theatre, and today it's still not a million aesthetic miles from The Book of Mormon.
Phoenix High listened to Opera Squad's well-intentioned lesson politely, but I felt it was water off a duck's back, with the wrong entry points and emphases. Unless there was one quiet child at the back, for whom a flame was sparked and who went off, as I did, to the library to find out more. But somehow I doubt it.

Donald P. Kotler, MD
Cachexia represents the clinical consequence of a chronic, systemic inflammatory response, and its manifestations differ considerably from those of starvation. Although cachexia is classically associated with chronic infections and malignant conditions, some of its elements have been identified in a wide variety of chronic diseases and in aging persons. Cachexia has repeatedly been associated with adverse clinical outcomes. The changes seen in cachexia are multidimensional and highly coordinated. Most obvious is a redistribution of the body's protein content, with preferential depletion of skeletal muscle and an increase in the synthesis of proteins involved in the response to tissue injury—the so-called acute-phase response. The physiologic, metabolic, and behavioral changes of cachexia are tightly regulated by cytokines, which signal the synthesis of acute-phase proteins as well as changes in intermediary metabolism that provide substrate and energy. The metabolic adaptations, notably the increase in the rate of protein degradation, limit the ability of hypercaloric feeding to reverse the depletion of lean mass. Recent studies have demonstrated the ability of anabolic and anticatabolic agents to mitigate the loss of skeletal muscle and to improve clinical outcomes in selected circumstances. Preclinical initiatives target the cytokine regulation of protein metabolism. It should be stressed that metabolic manipulation in cachexia could have positive or negative clinical effects, which must be distinguished through appropriate clinical trials.

(NORTH CANTON, Ohio) – Walsh's four-game win streak was snapped at the hands of a hot-shooting Lake Erie squad in an 83-79 decision at Alumni Arena on Saturday afternoon. The Cavaliers dropped to 9-4 overall and 6-3 in the conference, while the Storm improved to 10-7 and 5-4 in the same categories.
The Cavs scored the opening basket of the game on a Bo Furcron layup, but the Storm controlled the rest of the first half and forced Walsh to play catch-up in the second. The Cavs were able to get back within one at 79-78 after a Sterling Christy layup with 37 seconds left, but they couldn't equal the Storm which made its final four free throws down the stretch.
Chandler Vaudrin led a quartet of Cavaliers in double-figures with 24 points. He was 9-of-13 from the field with five rebounds, four assists, and three steals.
Darryl Straughter had one of his best games with 22 points off the bench and was 8-of-11 from the field, which included 4-of-6 made from 3-point range.
Sterling Christy tallied 15 points on 7-of-12 and was a rebound shy of a double-double. Furcron finished the day with 10 points.
The Cavs will return to action as they take on Bluefield State on Monday evening. Tip-off with the Big Blues is scheduled for 7 p.m.

3 Years Post-Treatment, Feelings, on Sunday, June 13. 2010 at 05:16
Got an email update from an online friend whose son had a brain tumor, same kind as Asher's, and in 2006 as well....they recently went to MRI and clinic and she shared this with me:
"They also talked to us as the caregivers about how now is the time that the reality of it all begins to settle in and you begin dealing with your own emotions, etc. I have found that to be very true for myself. It's sorta like being on a crazy roller coaster ride - the ride comes to a stop, but you are left sitting in the front row sorta in shock. You watch others zipping along, but your life just doesn't quite "zip" the way it used to anymore. Sorta hard to put into words .......... "
I wish I was alone, in this, meaning no other mommy had to feel what I have been feeling lately, but I know there are so many. Her email to me tonight, this little piece of knowing that I'm not alone, and I'm normal, means a lot to me.

How to Bring Your EPC Rating Up
While selling a property can be an unforgiving task filled with hidden fees and unwanted stresses at every hairpin turn, an often forgotten part of ensuring a house sale goes smoothly is the EPC Rating. There are many instances where house sales have all but gone through, only for the buyer to back out at the last moment because of a poor EPC rating. Do not be fooled, it can certainly happen. With new energy efficiency structures being put in place by the government with regularity, it is now more essential than ever to have a good EPC Rating,...Read More

C Corporations
To be considered a C corporation, two requirements must be met: The business must be recognized as a legal corporation in the state of its formation, and it cannot elect to be taxed under any provisions of the IRC other than subchapter C. For example, if you create a limited liability company, or LLC, in California, and elect C corporation status for federal tax purposes, the state will recognize the LLC as a C corporation. In contrast, if you create a corporate entity as an S corporation for federal income tax purposes, the federal government as well as most states will recognize your corporate entity only as an S corporation.
Taxation of C Corporations
Subchapter C of the IRS treats a C corporation as a separate taxpayer from its shareholders. The IRS requires the annual filing of a corporate tax return on Form 1120 or 1120A, and the tax return must report all corporate income and deductions. The corporate filer must calculate the amount of net earnings that are subject to the corporate tax rates, which generally range from 34 to 39 percent on corporate income that exceeds $100,000.
Double Taxation
The most distinctive characteristic of a C corporation is that it is subject to a system of double taxation. A C corporation must first pay tax on its earnings by filing Form 1120 or 1120A; then its shareholders are taxed a second time on their separate income tax returns when they receive dividends. Since dividends aren't deductible on a corporate tax return, taxable dividends come from earnings that have already been taxed at the corporate level.
Other Corporate Designations
S corporations, which are subject to the tax rules of subchapter S of the IRC and personal service corporations are two of the more common types of corporate entities that have characteristics that distinguish them from C corporations. The shareholders of an S corporation receive the same personal liability protection as shareholders of a C corporation, but are subject to pass-through taxation rather than corporate taxation. Personal service corporations are designated as such when the owners of the corporation earn a majority of the income through the provision of services. In this case, a flat rate of tax applies to all earnings.

I wasn't particularly keen on Elizabeth Warren winning the Massachusetts US Senate seat from Scott Brown, but I'm glad now that she's won. I was put off by her (supposed super) liberal aura, and I just plainly really liked Scott Brown's moderation. Although I would really like Scott Brown back in the US Senate again, I can't say I'm unhappy with Senator Warren. I am glad that she has not taken to the national airwaves in search of fame and notoriety (i.e. Rand Paul) and has really focused on her constituents.
In her first public, official appearance as a member of the Senate Banking Committee's hearing on Wall Street Reform Implementation, Continue reading

Right now I'm 18 but back when I was 15 I think I may have had a very scary experience with a shadow figure. It was daytime and my sister and I were in our room with the lights out to see a glow in the dark bracelet (we have aluminum windows so the room gets very dark).
I was sitting on the floor facing towards the doorless closet at the foot of the bed while my sister was in front of me sitting in the middle of the bed. Out of nowhere I look towards the corner where the closet and adjoining wall meet and I saw a huge black figure coming towards me. It scared me a lot and it made it worse when I got the sensation of it wanting to harm me. I started to kick and curse at it while it got closer. At that moment my sister felt like someone grabbed her by the shoulders and she said she felt a sense of peace before wanting to cry. She turned on the light when I started screaming and the shadow was gone. It made me think of a figure that I've felt before in my house.
It's always been a black figure with red eyes watching me from what is now my bedroom (where I strangely don't feel anything like when I shared rooms with my sister) or the living room. It even appeared in a dream once where I was laying in bed with my sis next to me and suddenly the door opens and I see the red eyes staring at me from the ajar door, holding it with a gray clawed hand. I scream but it was as if no one else could hear me, I mean my sister didn't even budge or my parents came to check! Luckily I woke up before it did anything. It's rare for me to see it but recently it feels as if it's come back.
The article on the shadow people made me remember since both the shadow and the creature (which gives off more like an animalistic feeling) have characteristics of both. I was wondering if you guys could tell me more about them. I'd really appreciate it.

He first described upper airway resistance syndrome (UARS) in 1993. Along with Dr. Dement, he co-coined the term, OSAS. Sadly, he recently passed as at the age of 80. This episode is a tribute to his incredible contributions and legacy to the sleep community.

Summer is in full swing and there's no better time to get fit and get slim than now. And I know that a lot of our listeners are starting their Keto, Paleo, Whole30 or whatever diets that are really popular right now. And there's nothing wrong with that. But tin this podcast Kathy and I will talk about an issue that not a lot of people think about when they're going on a diet or they're starting off trying to lose weight. And that issue is, are you sleeping well? Are you sleeping long enough? And that's something that most of us don't think about. We don't connect sleep with weight, but that's a huge, huge problem that one needs to address before you do any sort of diet regimen.

There comes a time when you have to say, "enough is enough." You've gone through 3 different masks, CPAP, APAP and 2 dental appliances. You also tried chin straps to keep your mouth closed along with your oral appliance and CPAP, all together. Some of you can't even keep CPAP on for more than one hour. And there are some of you that are able to use CPAP for 8 hours straight for 3 months and your machine is telling you that your AHI level is 0.1, but you still feel terrible. You've also tried every trouble shooting step mentioned on every sleep apnea support site. At a certain point, you have to consider the possibility of undergoing surgery.
Granted not everyone who struggles with CPAP has tried all this, but many of you have already gone through many, if not most of the above steps. Some people will be better candidates for surgery than others.
In this podcast, Kathy and I will go over 7 good reasons why you may want to consider surgery for your obstructive sleep apnea. Here's a quick summary along with the resources and links mentioned in the podcast:
1. CPAP is not working

2. Oral appliance is not helping

3. You have a stuffy nose

4. You have large tonsils or adenoids
5. Previous surgery didn't work
6. If you can't breathe out through your nose or feel a flap close suddenly during inhalation
7. You've tried everything.

Frustrated CPAP users are constantly asking me what other options are available. There are literally dozens of over-the-counter, natural, prescription, and surgical options that are available. I've chosen 9 options that have proven results, based on published research in peer-reviewed medical journals. There may be other options that may work very well, but as of date, I'm not aware of any prospective studies showing significant improvement based on sleep studies as well as quality of life questionnaires.

Many people hate the idea of using a CPAP mask attached to a hose every night. Fortunately, a good alternative to this is a mandibular advancement devices (also called oral appliances) come in various models, but they all have one thing in common: The lower jaw is pushed forward against the upper jaw, moving your tongue forward, opening up your airway.
In this podcast episode, I will go over the 7 reasons why I like using mandibular advancement devices to treat obstructive sleep apnea.
1. No headgear or straps around your face.
2. It's silent. CPAP 26 dB. 30 is a quiet whisper
3. It's small and convenient
4. More dentists are available to make these devices, and are usually covered through most major insurances.
5. Equal to CPAP for people with mild to moderate obstructive sleep apnea.
6. An oral appliance can used as a CPAP mask holder
7. It can be used effectively for snoring and UARS, even if you don't have obstructive sleep apnea.

ADHD and other behavioral problems are rampant today with millions of children on prescription medications with or without psychotherapy. As I've stated in the past, a significant number of these children have a treatable sleep-breathing problem, which goes undiagnosed. I was alerted to watch this video about a mother's excruciatingly painful journey to help her son, Connor, who was labeled with a condition called oppositional defiant disorder.
In this episode I'm honored to have as our guest Ms. Valerie Deegan, Connor's mother. We're going to talk about what she had to go through to get her son treated appropriately without medications.

3. 5 simple things you can do to sleep better tonight.

Acronym for obstructive sleep apnea: MOOSE
Excessive Sleepiness.
4 Evolutionary / Anatomic Changes:
1. Klinorynchy
2. Anterior Migration of the Foramen Magnum
3. Laryngeal descent and loss of epiglottic and soft palate lockup
4. Vertical descent of the larynx.
As a result of complex speech and language development, only humans can choke and die.
3 Dental Concepts
1. Transition to soft, processed foods lead to dental crowding and malocclusion
2. Eating soft vs. hard foods and aggravate dental crowding
3. Bottle-feeding can cause dental crowding and crooked teeth.
Changes in our eating and infant feeding habits created more dental crowding and more narrow airways.
All these concepts are described in more detail in my book, Sleep Interrupted: A physician reveals the #1 reason why so many of us are sick and tired.
Facial profiling. Younger people have more triangular jaws and flatter faces.
If our brains get bigger and our jaws get smaller, what will we look like in 50,000 years?
Sleep-breathing continuum. All chronic health conditions can be directly or indirectly connected to poor breathing and poor sleep.
Conventional treatment options for obstructive sleep apnea:
1. Conservative
3. Dental appliances
4. Surgery.
Other options:
1. Acupuncture
2. Oral exercises
3. Didgeridoo
4. Provent
5. Winx

From Sing Tao Daily
June 11, 2002
At a June 10 Chinese Community Center (CCC) general meeting, community
committee members unanimously agreed to allocate $30,000 to hire
a cleaning company to combat the problem of garbage on the streets,
which is only expected to worsen as the summer progresses. This
move will provide Chinatown residents and visitors with fresh, clean
According to committee member Chen Shangren, the refuse that restaurants
pile up on the streets spoils easily in the summertime.
In addition, the uneven roads facilitate the accumulation of oily
liquids oozing out of the garbage, which fouls up the air and Chinatowns
image. Therefore, he suggested that the streets be washed during
the summer. According to his estimates, approximately $30,000 would
be needed to ensure street cleaning six days a week.
Contributions of $100 to $200 from each of the 60 members of the
CCC Committee will total approximately $10,000; funds from businesses,
which will benefit from the service, should not be too difficult
to obtain and will provide for the rest. However, some members voiced
concern that certain unsavory establishments might simply leave
the responsibility of cleaning up their own storefronts to the CCC.
It would be necessary to educate restaurant owners on how to properly
dispose of their garbage.
It was also mentioned that as New York City water reserves are
low, washing streets freely might result in a fine. Even though
the CCC is willing to take the lead in the clean-up, it needs to
apply to the government for permission, which should not be a problem
as Wall Street, Rockefeller Center, and other such areas have obtained
it. CCC director Wu Tingdian remarked that he met with several business
owners privately last week to discuss this matter, and they were
quite supportive.
In addition, CCC representatives recently met with the deputy director
of the Department of Transportation. They anticipate that potholes
throughout Chinatown will be filled in by the end of the month,
avoiding the accumulation of unpleasant puddles.
Another affair brought up at the meeting includes the creation
of a "Chinatown Development Committee" which will focus
on the long term re-development of the Lower East Side. The CCC
expects this committee to maintain active communication with the
Lower Manhattan Development Corporation (LMDC) on rebuilding the
Chinatown economy. For the moment, the Chinatown Development Committee
is overseeing Mid-Autumn and Spring Festival activities. Li Zongbao,
a member of Community Board 2, has been invited to join this committee.
The CCC also plans to hire public relations and traffic consultants.
Although it has made numerous contributions to the community, such
as the approximately $300,000 of aid it gave to New York Chinese
School last year, many do not know of its deeds, so the CCC plans
to make itself known to the outside world through mainstream media
by hiring L.S. Public Relation Inc., said Li Zongbao. The CCC is
also hiring an individual with plenty of administrative experience
as a traffic consultant.
At potential meetings with the Department of Transportation regarding
transportation issues, the CCC might be unable to provide concrete
solutions, at which point such a consultant would be immensely helpful.
For example, the government is currently planning to build a subway
line from 65th Street to Wall Street, but unfortunately has not
taken Chinatown into account. However, if the CCC had a consultant
who knew whether or not the ground beneath Confucius Tower could
conceivably be used as a train station, it would be able to provide
a concrete recommendation to the government.

YPN's publishers faced the warning on every page view of the control panel, related to their upgrade of control panel. The warning in AdSense was less apparent, only affecting the main page of the AdSense support section, and not in any of the areas where publishers need to be logged into the account. But both are now fixed and publishers should no longer receive warnings.
