I have a fascination with AI – albeit the kind of HAL AI – but still… Having yet to try Alexa at home, but surrounded by Bluetooth enabled devices and the internet I can't wait to give it a go. In the meantime I've given myself some time to consider uses for this tech in schools.
It is worth mentioning first of all, that there will always be issues of privacy with an always on internet device in schools. This is something that will need to be seriously thought about, I've looked into it and I am unclear as to what exactly happens with the voice commands that are sent to the cloud. But – let's imagine right now that the device is on or off – that it learns, but doesn't save all recordings for years… (the ethic of this could be another post!) Also, learning from other voices would need to be in there.
Instantly you can see how children merely asking questions and receiving answers, facts and things may not be such a good idea… Alexa would need to have a kind of Socratic approach to answering. It cannnot be simply a high powered calculator. Ask Alexa should not just be the last thing on our 'if you are stuck…' list. No, Alexa will need to be a bit smarter – to learn to respond with pointers, hints and other ideas that the children could try first. Saying that however, there is much to be said for an oral account of eye-witness accounts from history, or a different explanation of fractions and decimals. Children will need to learn to listen carefully, and of course, to formualate their questions appropriately.
Some of the above issues could be solved by textbook/curricula providers having Alexa linked modules. This would mean that the children could actually say, 'Alexa I'm stuck with Chapter two' or 'Alexa what does so and so mean in Question 3'. Linked with a smart board (or projector) and it could show videos or other resources. I'm imagining a virtual science experiment whereby videos from a service such as the BBC Schools, or Expresso might be genuinely useful. Google classroom links are obvious here – as this could also lead to children identifying themselves by username and getting personalised content. Again, I realise the technology is not quite there yet – but it is within reach.
This is the area that really makes me think we could see a game changer. I already find iPad apps and google classroom brilliant for SEN. An AI enabled device would be able to offer more resources and more ideas for children as mentioned above. Recording the initial teacher input, or reading aloud chapter from books. But also the formulating of questions, the dictation of ideas and the organising of their thoughts could be vitally supported by an AI enabled device. 'Alexa record this…' 'Alexa read back what I just said' A device which connected to a visualiser could, maybe, learn to read handwriting or support the child in editing. Or upload the images to google classroom and ping the teacher – link to an iPad and you have the pupil recording their words and then sharing with other apps. Again specific apps and providers could link with Alexa.
But I think this is worth investigating – and if anyone wants to donate a few so I can get started….

Pandemic Foreclosure Tsunami Not on the Horizon
ATTOM says that foreclosure activity in the year just ended was at the lowest level since the company began tracking it in 2005. Foreclosure filings, including default notices, scheduled auctions, and bank repossessions or completed foreclosures, were made on 151,153 U.S. properties during the year, 29 percent fewer than in 2020 and down 95 percent from the peak of nearly 2.9 million in 2010. The filings impacted 0.11 percent of all housing units, compared to 0.16 percent in 2020 and a peak of 2.23 percent in 2010. "The COVID-19 foreclosure tsunami that some people had anticipated is clearly not happening," said Rick Sharga, executive vice president at RealtyTrac, an ATTOM company. "Government and mortgage industry efforts have prevented millions of unnecessary foreclosures, and while it's likely that we'll see a slight increase in the first quarter, we probably won't see foreclosure activity back to normal levels before the end of 2022 ." Activity did tick higher toward the end of the year. Many homeowners were in or about to enter the last three months of forbearance eligibility and the federal foreclosure moratorium expired at the end of July. Filings in Q4 totaled 56,174, This accounted for 37.2 percent of the year's total and was a 23 percent increase over Q3. One in every 2445 properties had a filing during the reporting period. In December, one in 7,647 properties received a filing. This was up 65 percent from the prior December but was 8 percent lower than in November 2021.

In the aftermath of September 11, 2001, I received a variety of questions from folks; and I thought that it might be helpful to others to pass along some answers that we should all have right now as we witness to those around us who have been so dramatically affected by these horrific events.
You may want to attempt to address the questions below before consulting the answers. I hope you find these both helpful and reassuring.
How can we as Christians say we have an exclusive way to heaven? Surely Gandhi and the followers of Hindu, Buddha, and the teachings of Muhammad – Islam, all worship the same God; and all seek peace, joy and love. How can Christians say they are the only ones who know the truth?
When the Angel of The Lord spoke to Hagar, this was the root of the Muslim religion. If this is the case, when Muslims pray to Allah, are they in reality praying to the one true living God?
The Angel of the Lord said in Genesis 16:12 that Ishmael would live in hostility. Does this indicate that the Muslims will be the army of Satan in the end times?
What defines someone as being a "Christian", as being "born again"?
Is it possible to be a Christian without being "born again"?
Must being saved happen at a specific moment or can it be gradual?
When someone asks why you're a Christian, and why they should believe as well, what should your response be?
Isn't it unfair that millions died before anyone could tell them about Christ or God? Consider the African or Amazon tribes in jungles and people living in really remote places. How can they not go to heaven when they didn't have a chance to learn about God?
Are the events of September 11, 2001 a precursor to the end of the world? They appear to fit some predictions by Nostradamus that looks like it foretells the destruction of New York.
When we get to heaven, will we recognize one another?
May God bless and comfort you in these days and in the days ahead as we struggle to understand and to minister to a lost and dying world.

Logging firms 'avoid Congo tax'
By BBC News | Published on July 30, 2008
The Democratic Republic of Congo and the Republic of Congo are losing at least $12m annually in tax avoidance by logging companies, Greenpeace says.
The environmental group says it has evidence showing how firms like German-owned Danzer group have set up "elaborate profit-laundering schemes".
Danzer said the allegations were "totally without foundation".
A DR Congo minister told the BBC he had not read the report but if laws were infringed, sanctions would be taken.
The country is recovering from a five-year civil war which officially ended in 2003.
The fighting was fuelled by the country's vast natural wealth, including one of the world's largest rainforests, as well as minerals such as gold and diamonds, with all sides taking advantage of the anarchy to plunder natural resources.
Correspondents say these riches have been a key factor in the civil wars, instability and bad government DR Congo has known since independence.
Earlier this week, a coalition of non-governmental groups said widespread violence continues to threaten people in eastern DR Congo.
The Congo Advocacy Coalition said that more than 2,000 rape cases were recorded last month alone in the North Kivu province.
'Populist gimmick'
In its report, Conning the Congo, Greenpeace alleges the amount of tax lost each year is 50 times the DR Congo's Ministry of Environment's annual operating budget.
"I have not read the report yet so I can only answer on principle. But I can imagine that there are many possibilities of tax evasion in many sectors," Environment Minister Jose Endundo told the BBC's Focus on Africa programme.
"What I can say about forestry, is that the commission in charge of setting the minimum export prices for timber has not met since 2000. So the logging companies took advantage of the situation to export timber at a price under its real value. It means that the Congolese government has suffered losses in terms of foreign currency earnings and taxes."
Greenpeace says it has documents showing that Danzer's Swiss subsidiary company (Interholco AG) buys timber from its African sister companies (Siforco and IFO) at below the market price and then makes up the shortfall by depositing money in offshore bank accounts.
In so doing, the group evades paying big corporate tax and export duties, the report says.
But Danzer said the allegation of tax evasion was a "populist gimmick" and the group paid tax regularly.
The company, which employees 2,400 locally in the Congo Basin, said it invests about $4.7m in social programmes every year and during DR Congo's civil war continued to pay workers their wages despite the suspension of production.
"For years Greenpeace has been attempting to tarnish the reputation of Danzer Group by floating rumours, making defamatory statements and spreading half-truths. But constantly repeating false, concocted allegations does not make them true," Danzer said in a statement.
"The Swiss Attorney General's Office and the Examining Magistrate's Office of Zug, Switzerland, dropped charges against Danzer Group filed by Greenpeace in 2004 and 2006.
"Internal investigations conducted by a renowned auditing firm commissioned by Danzer Group identified no wrongdoing."

Many times there are quick fixes to sensory overload for people with Autism. Quick fixes are little things that can be done or little tools that we can carry in a purse or car. Because little things can build up and turn into a melt down it is so much easier to deal with issues while they are little.
One of the things my children used to complain about was the tags in their clothes. When I had little understanding of Autism I thought my child needed to just get over it. Then that and other things would lead to overload. Now I know to take care of the tags early on.
Of course thank goodness for the brands that have gone to stamps instead of tags. It takes a little more effort to find those brands for the adult woman with Autism but is well worth the effort. One little tool that proved invaluable was a set of ear plugs. The inexpensive ones worked the majority of the time. The idea was to muffle the noise. I carried those in my bag and my car for years.
We also had a relatively inexpensive head phone. The ones you see specifically for children with Autism are usually very expensive. Parents can pick up one of these head phones at a sporting goods store. People who shoot guns use them. Although they are cheaper they are of a quality equal to the disability specific head phone.
My child did not tolerate them on her head very well. Although these headphones were kept in the car we only used them when there was big noise that we could not escape. She was a little more cooperative then.


Longmeadow resident Dr. Andrew Lam's latest novel, "Two Sons of China" is being released Dec. 7.
LONGMEADOW – Dr. Andrew Lam of Longmeadow is well known as a retinal surgeon, but some may be surprised to know he has a second career as an author.
Earlier this year Lam's first book, "Saving Sight," was published. The best selling book is an account of the many heroes in the world of eye surgery. Lam tells both a history of the field as well as true tales from his experiences in the OR.
This week, Lam will have a second book published. Available Dec. 7, "Two Sons of China" is a fiction novel based in real history. The publication date is Pearl Harbor Day, which is perfect timing for a book about an unlikely friendship forged between two soldiers – an American and a Chinese communist guerilla fighter – during a secret mission in World War II China.
The novel was inspired by the little-known, real-life story of the Dixie Mission of 1944, in which American soldiers ventured to Mao Zedong's northern stronghold of Yenan to investigate reports that the Chinese Communists were effectively fighting the Japanese, and to consider arming Mao's troops with U.S. weapons.
The real-life mission paired a small group of American soldiers with their Chinese counterparts on a mission behind Japanese lines in northern China.
In the story, two soldiers form a bond despite their apparent differences.
"There is a lot of exciting action, there is history, and there is romance," said Lam.
Lam said the tragedy of the real life mission is that the Americans wrote reports about their work with the Chinese and portrayed the communist soldiers truthfully and favorably.
"During the McCarthy era, those Americans were considered sympathetic to communists and some lost their careers," said Lam.
Lam is very passionate about "Two Sons of China" and the true mission the fictional story is based upon partly because of his Chinese heritage. Both of Lam's grandfathers had to flee China and ended up in America. Lam said many people with wealth and education left prominent jobs in China to work in dry cleaners and restaurants in America to give their children a better life.
Lam said many people went to Taiwan and Hong Kong after WWII, but there wasn't enough work for them and they sought a better life in America.
"I never take being an American for granted," he said.
Before becoming an eye surgeon, Lam earned a history degree from Yale. His first book, "Saving Sight," has been an Amazon bestseller since its release in May 2013.
"Two Sons of China" is available at http://www.TwoSonsofChina.com, Amazon, and iTunes.

Yes, I'm writing again!! 2,000 words into a new novel currently titled "18 Days". Writing from a first person MALE POV. Not easy for me but it seems to be flowing well. Wish me luck!!
Just a short message to wish you all a Merry Christmas. Thank you for supporting me through this blog for the past year. May you and yours be blessed this holiday season.
I got a new subscription box today – Julep! For me, this is a great box, since it features nail care and colors. I was born with great nails that are usually very strong and I can grow naturally long – no fake nails for this girl!
I'll wait to write my actual review until I try the products but the picture is a quick preview of the box.
Can someone explain to me why children go through a closed door and leave it wide open but when they go through an open door they close it? This is an ongoing phenomenon in our house and I'm just wondering why this happens. Or is it just my kids?

This past holiday season I had the pleasure to work with Safari Pet Resort and do Holiday pet portraits for their clients and the pet owners of Rutherford county. It was a wonderful experience. Not only are the staff at Safari Pet Resort amazing to work with, but the pet's and people I was able to meet in the process were all wonderful.
Each and ever dog and cat that was photograph was a joy to work with. So many happy pets came through the doors on the two days we did the sessions. I photographed all typed on beautiful pets. So many big and small dogs and even a few felines as well. Some pet parents brought their own props and outfits which was so fun to see. We provided an assortment of Santa hats and sleds for all sizes so that no one would be left out.
After 39 fun filled sessions in two jam packed days we finished our holiday pet portraits. I look forward to working with Safari Pet Resort and all these wonderful pets again in the future. I hope everyone had a wonderful holiday season!

Artificial byproduct or precious goal?
Well, I'm glad somebody had more patience with the NYTimes and their focus on debunking faith than I do. There's a letter today that talks about the writer's research finding that people who endure trauma need their faith.
This way of stating the scientist perspective makes it easier to see the resolution: faith is both a byproduct of trauma and a goal of development.
Richard Rohr's Daily Meditations of late have talked about the role of suffering in our spiritual development, including today's. Religion and the letter writer (Shane Sharp, an assistant professor of sociology at Northern Illinois University) are in agreement: trauma can result in the state of mind of faith.
Scientists seem to think of this result as an artificial state of mind, while the religious camp sees it as reaching a desirable goal. They are describing the same thing, only characterizing it differently. The disagreement is all about the adjectives, the judgment of the phenomenon.
That leads to the questions of, why we are judging the phenomenon, how we should judge it, by what criteria are we judging it, etc.
But it also, for me, provides the unification of the two competing camps: the phenomenon occurs, our need to appraise it is just our human need, not one that exists outside of ourselves.
At the highest reaches of the universe there is no appraising and judging. It is the state of achieving "Let it be." In scientific circles I thought we focus on the objective and withhold our editorial response.
We can all just rest on the narrow point of equilibrium that suffering produces the phenomenon of faith, that faith exists.
Some of us celebrate it, some of us deride it, some of us rely on it, some of us wouldn't touch it with a ten-foot pole. But we agree that the phenomenon exists.
That, to me, is an example of how we bridge a perceived gap.
I recently learned that men engage in a variety of dysfunctional behavior that I was already aware that women do but didn't realize men were vulnerable to — acting towards a romantic partner as if they were more omniscient and omnipotent than they are, and behaving towards them as if they are the appropriate recipient of a surrender of themselves.
In mulling this over, and talking it over with the guy who mentioned it, I started thinking how this relates to poets and their muses. That got me thinking about other contexts in which this dynamic might not work out as it may have been intended, namely when people who don't believe in God, higher powers, impersonal forces in the universe greater than ourselves, etc., which can receive our deepest energy safely and do something helpful with it, feel a need to turn their deepest energy somewhere — where do they turn it? Towards another human being? towards acquisition of money or power or prestige or mansions or collecting watches?
I don't know, but if humans have the urge to share their deepest energy, and it doesn't go somewhere that can handle it constructively, I suspect it develops all kinds of eddies and whirlpools and maelstroms, instead of just flowing through unimpeded.
So, my question for atheists is, where do atheists put their needs that other people satisfy through a spiritual life? And I don't mean it in a way to suggest they can't have found a constructive way to do this, I just wonder what it is.

Vlad Moroz
Redfox co-founder, co-owner and director
Topic: Russia, the land of opportunity?
PRESENTATION OVERVIEW:
Following on from last years evaluation of the Chinese market, one of this year's presentations on developing markets will examine Russia. With its close proximity to Europe, Russia is blessed with an enormous outdoor playground offering its inhabitants unrivalled opportunities for outdoor sports. And with a population almost half the size of the EEC and vast natural resources powering the economy forward it has many of the right ingredients to develop into a substantial market for outdoor products. Vlad will bring his own local experience and knowledge to revealing what stage of development the outdoor market in Russia is at today, what will be the key trends over the next few years and what are the unique aspects of the market that are vital to understand if one is to successfully launch a brand there.
Vlad started climbing in 1980 in the Soviet era when he was studying at the Electrical Engineers University. This quickly became his main passion and he spent all his spare time training and visiting the mountains. He became a member of the University of St.Petersburg climbing team, which enabled him to learn climbing and mountaineering in a very intense environment. After graduating as a technical radio engineer Vlad served in the Army, but luckily was in the sports division and so spent 12 out of the 17 months in the mountains. Soon after Vlad and his climbing partner Alexander Gloushkovskiy formed THIRD POLE Travel and Adventure to organise climbing expeditions in the Russian Mountains and around the same time they launched the equipment company Red Fox which today is one of Russia's leading outdoor companies. At 24 he was the youngest Master of Alpine Sport in Russia. Vlads climbing career includes a number of first's, the first winter climb of the Lenin Peak (7134m), the Korjenevskoy Peak (7105 m), the first winter climb in Bezengi in the Caucasus and a new route to the AkSu Peak in 1984.Vlad was part of the team that in 1990 organised the first Russia climbing club Himalayan Expedition to Cho Oyu via a very difficult and unclimbed route. As a member of BASECLIMB 1 team he was awarded the Guiness book of records certificate for the first BASECLIMB expedition to Great Trango Towers in 1992. Besides climbing he has led a series of dog sledging expeditions to the Kolskiy Peninsula, inside the Polar Circle. Vlad turned 50 recently and has been married to Olga for 27 years and has two children
Red Fox was started by Vlad in the late eighties to meet the need for good quality mountaineering and climbing equipment, which was not available at that time in Soviet Union. So the only way to get it was to make it yourself so Vlad began producing down jackets and sleeping bags for himself and his friends and later on tents and packs and accessories. Today Red Fox employ's over 300 people and is one of the major outdoor suppliers in Russia, has its own retail chain of 16 shops and also produces Virus Boardwear clothing.
Redfox distributes numerous imported outdoor brands including Osprey, Zamberlan, Vibram Five Fingers, Canada Goose, Laken, Lizard, Lole, Fizan, Nikwax, Rock Empire, Vasque, Fox River, Inov-8, Wild Roses, Chaos, Surfanic, Icon, Buzrun, Skate One.

Wilmer Valderrama is spending time with another ex.
The 36-year-old actor was spotted lounging in Cabo San Lucas, Mexico, with Minka Kelly. The couple briefly dated in 2012, but are rekindling their romance, a source told E! News last week.
Valderrama and Kelly, 36, relaxed on some chaise lounge chairs in the popular vacation spot on Friday. Valderrama wore black swim trunks and Kelly donned a string bikini and black baseball cap.
News of Valderrama and Kelly's reunion comes just a few weeks after the actor snapped a selfie with former girlfriend Mandy Moore when they ran into each other at the Paramount Studios lot in Los Angeles.
For Kelly, the former Friday Night Lights star is no stranger to summer in Mexico. Less than a week before her getaway with Valderrama, she posted several photos of her family vacation in Riviera Maya on Mexico's east coast.
"Take me back… #MexicoLindo," the actress wrote in an Instagram post of the Mayan ruins in Tulum.

Valderrama was last linked to his on-again-off-again girlfriend of six years, Demi Lovato. His brief relationship with Kelly took place during one of his breaks with the singer. In June, Valderrama and Lovato released a joint message on their Instagram accounts about their amicable uncoupling.

In 1262 Feb 5, Roger de Sancto Johanne (Roger de St. John) was granted, by Henry III, (In year 46 of his reign) a Royal licence to crenellate Lageham in Walkested (Lagham Manor)
Licence for Roger de Sancto Johanne to fortify (firmare) his house of Lageham in Walkested with a dyke, stockades (brethachiis) and a paling; and for his heirs to keep it so, so long as they are faithful to the king. (CPR)
Granted at Westminster.
Licensed for dyke, stockades and paling. The express condition of loyalty is exceptional for an English licence, but this licence was issued in the build up to the 2nd Barons War.

Roger St John (b.c. 1221-1265)
Roger St John (b.c. 1221-1265). In his early manhood he was in evident connection with the Court, and (like his mother) had gifts of deer from the King. He was going with the King to Gascony in 1253; was a knight by 1256; was summoned in August 1260 for service against Llewelyn (and again in May 1263); and in October 1261, to London with all possible forces, in a matter touching the King and Crown. Already in 1258 his sympathies were plainly with the baronial reformers. After the Baronial victory at Lewes (14 May 1264) He became the king's secretary (in 1265), constable of Oxford and a member of the, de Monfort set up, royal Council of Nine. He was killed at the battle of Evesham.
A fine example of the difficulties of the C19 view of licences to crenellate as documents of royal control over 'over mighty' lords. How could Henry III refuse a request for a licence to crenellate from this ambitious and well connected knight (He was married to Hugh Despensers sister). It would take a king as arrogant as Henry to put in the proviso about being faithful but any other king would know he needed as many friends as he could get and would be doing their utmost to not offend an effective soldier like Roger.
The St John's obtained the manor in parts up to 1251. However, Roger may have been a younger son and this may have been his portion requiring some additional confirmation of ownership.

In 2015, nearly 24 per cent of the global population lived in South Asia. Stated differently, roughly every fourth person in the world exists in the South Asian region, comprising Afghanistan, Bangladesh, Bhutan, India, Maldives, Nepal, Pakistan and Sri Lanka. South Asia, home to a complex diversity of religions, languages and ethnicities, is also a region in which economic development has substantially accelerated over the last two decades. South Asian politics, economics and security have come to acquire worldwide significance.
Established in July 2016, the Center for Contemporary South Asia (CCSA) is part of the Watson Institute of International and Public Affairs. The Watson Institute seeks to pioneer a new approach to regional studies for the 21st century, which the Center will follow. Anchored in the social sciences, this new approach will be problem driven, comparative and multidisciplinary. Our interdisciplinarity will include sustained interaction with the humanities on one hand and the disciplines such as medicine and public health on the other.
That the CCSA coexists at the Watson Institute, with comparable regional programs in the Middle East, the U.S., Brazil, Latin America, and China, allows us to be comparative right from our inception. We will seek to understand and study problems such as inequality, urbanization, governance, ethnic conflict, democracy, pluralism and diversities, etc. in a rigorous and comparative manner.
CCSA joins together the Brown-India Initiative and the South Asian Studies program. For five years (2011-2016), the Brown-India Initiative created an interdisciplinary hub for the study of contemporary India at Brown, and since the 1980s, the South Asian Studies program has run the undergraduate concentration in the field and sponsored various programs and activities. The intellectual resources of the two programs are now merged in a new institutional entity, which will allow us to study problems and issues in the region in a more comprehensive manner.
Our seminars, lectures and events will bring leading literary and artistic figures, scholars, policy makers and public intellectuals to the campus. We will not only be focused on teaching and research, but will also be involved in public engagement.
Come and join the excitement of our new conversations, the insight of our new research, and the novel perspectives presented by our events and programs.

Thanks to the British for inventing Summer Berry Pudding.
Congratulations to Prince William and Duchess Kate on the birth of their baby boy. In their honor, I'd like to make something British. Berries are plentiful right now and it's still too hot to bake, so how about a Summer Berry Pudding aka English Summer Pudding, which requires no baking.
The basic concept for Summer Berry Pudding is pretty straightforward. The traditional British version calls for fresh black currants and other berries sweetened with sugar then poured over sliced white bread in a bowl. The mixture is refrigerated and then unmolded to serve. It's kind of like a lazy shortcake that does nothing but sit around and soak up juices. I know some guys like this. But say no more.
Lemon Budino is a "supporting cast" family favorite.
When it comes to dessert, does your family all have the same palate? Do they all like and dislike the same things?
If so, you're lucky. Mine don't.
Sweet strawberries and tart rhubarb combine to make a ruby red delicious pie.
With strawberry season in full bloom in Connecticut and fresh rhubarb still hanging on, a little voice inside me was saying, "Make Strawberry Rhubarb Pie." So I listened.
My father-in-law is a big fan of rhubarb, so it seemed like the perfect thing to make for our Father's Day cookout.
There are no bells and whistles in my recipe for Strawberry Rhubarb Pie. Just fresh fruit, sugar, a small touch of orange zest, tossed together and baked in a homemade pie crust.
Oh yes, and there's also tapioca in it. That's my secret, if you can call it that.
I use Minute Tapioca for the thickening agent rather than flour or cornstarch. For years, I used a couple tablespoons of flour to thicken the pie filling. But I noticed the flour gave the filling a cloudy, sometimes muddy look. Then I tried cornstarch and found it was hard to gauge how much was needed. Sometimes the pie didn't thicken and was runny.
It's strawberry season in Connecticut. Picked these beauties at Jones Family Farms.
After days of disheveled New England weather — intense heat one day, torrential rain the next, today there's nothing but bright sunshine. So in mid-June that means one thing — it's strawberry picking time!

Wedding Music (Selections For A Wedding) - Various - Gavin Somerset
With more and more brass bands performing at weddings, having the correct music is essential for the couple's perfect day. With most of the traditional wedding music coming from large overtures & operas etc, this unique pack of music has been specially designed to minimise fuss (all 4 pieces are printed on just one sheet per part) and have just the "famous" bits included. Specially arranged by Gavin Somerset so that the pieces included can be performed from anything ranging from a full brass band to a brass quintet group and with repeats that can be cut or performed to tailor to each event. The pieces are???BRIDAL CHORUS (from Lohengrin) By Richard Wagner"Here comes the bride"??? is the standard march played for the bride's entrance at many formal weddings. The wedding between Elsa and Lohengrin however was almost an immidiate failure!PACHELBEL'S CANON By Johann PachelbelFormally known as the Canon & Gigue in D and originally composed for a string quartet, the Canon part of the composition has become a favorite at weddings, either as an alternative to the Bridal Chorus (above) or used during the signing of the register. The convention in the Baroque era would have been to play a piece of this type in the moderate to fast tempo, however at weddings it has become fashionable to play the work at a slow tempo.WEDDING MARCH (from "A Midsummer Night's Dream") By Felix MendelsshonPopularized by Princess Victoria's wedding to Prince Frederick William of Prussia and coupled with the Bridal Chorus for the entry of the bride, this Wedding March is often for the recessional at the end. Prelude to "Te Deum" By Charpentier Another item now popular in its use during weddings for its bright fanfares. Many composers have written music to the "Te Deum" text (Te Deum being an early Christian hymn of praise, used still regularly in the R.C Church). The prelude by Charpentier is by far one of the most famous

New Dawn, A - Christopher Bond
A New Dawn (2013) was commissioned by and written for British tenor horn virtuoso Owen Farr in late 2013, to provide the title track of his new CD album. With a specific brief, the work was to include a bold ear-catching 'fanfare-esque' opening to bring maximum impact to the opening of the album, before settling in a rhythmic groove which allows the new tempo and reduced texture to settle before the entry of the tenor horn, who's initial four bar motif is what forms the basis of much of the work. Following this, structurally, the work follows with a set of variations, carefully demonstrating the capabilities of the instrument and indeed the player. Bar 90 sees the return of the bold opening gestures, this time followed with a harmonic transformation, before a recapitulation at bar 120 which sees a return to the original tenor horn material and an increase in intensity, volume and virtuosity through to the close. A New Dawn was premiered by Owen Farr and the Cornwall Youth Brass Band on 30th December 2013, and was recorded by Owen and the Cory Band in March 2014, featuring as the title track on his CD release of the same name.
Procession to the Minster - Wagner, R.
'Procession' was premiAred at the Royal Albert Hall Gala Concert in October 1987, to immediate success. It fits together music from two separate parts of Act 2 of Lohengrin into a single stretch. That it has become the most used finale in modern brass band history, is beyond any doubt, with only the March from the Pines of Rome mounting any real challenge.... although perhaps latterly 'Entry of the Gods into Valhalla' shows every sign of making a run on the post.Brass Band World's TOP CHOICE as a Finale, most played, most enjoyed by audiences and players alike. Again Grades 2 and 3 because it is hard... but everyone wants to play it!

William "Billy" Naismith Blyth (ur. 17 czerwca 1895 w Dalkeith, zm. 1 lipca 1968 w Worthing) – szkocki piłkarz występujący na pozycji pomocnika, były gracz Manchesteru City, Arsenalu oraz Birmingham.

Życiorys
Blyth urodził się w Dalkeith w hrabstwie Midlothian i lata szkolne spędził na grze w lokalnym klubie Wemyss Athletic. Następnie na krótko trafił do Manchesteru City, który w maju 1914 roku zamienił na Arsenal. 21 listopada 1914 roku zadebiutował w nowych barwach podczas przegranego 0:3 meczu Second Division z Huddersfield Town. W sumie w sezonie 1914/15 Blyth wystąpił w dwunastu spotkaniach, gdy jednak wybuchła I wojna światowa dołączył do służącego we Francji Royal Army Service Corps.

Po zakończeniu działań wojennych i wznowieniu piłkarskich rozgrywek w 1919 roku Blyth powrócił do Arsenalu i z miejsca stał się podstawowym zawodnikiem drużyny. Określany jako energiczny pomocnik Szkot z reguły występował na lewej stronie boiska. Wraz z upływem czasu stał się bardzo ważnym elementem zespołu i na przestrzeni kolejnych dziesięciu lat rozegrał ponad 300 ligowych spotkań, zaś w 1925 roku został mianowany kapitanem. W 1927 roku wystąpił także w finale Pucharu Anglii, w którym Arsenal przegrał 0:1 z Cardiff City. W sumie wystąpił w barwach klubu w 343 meczach, strzelając przy tym 51 goli.

W maju 1929 roku przeniósł się do Birmingham. Po raz ostatni na boisku pojawił się we wrześniu 1930, a po sezonie 1930/31 postanowił zakończyć karierę. W 1930 roku wystąpił w jednym z pierwszych filmów odnoszących się bezpośrednio do piłki nożnej, The Great Game. Po zakończeniu kariery Blyth powrócił do Szkocji i otworzył pub w Port Seton. Zmarł w 1968 w angielskim Worthing mając wówczas 73 lata.
