The National Motor Museum Trust
Story of Motoring
Home Story of Motoring The Motoring Montagus
The Motoring Montagus
Located in the New Forest, Beaulieu is perhaps an unexpected place to have a strong link with the history of motoring. The early years of this association pioneered the cause of motoring in Britain and resulted in many firsts.
John, 2nd Baron Montagu of Beaulieu
John Scott Montagu MP (later 2nd Baron Montagu of Beaulieu) was born in 1866 and he campaigned for motorists in Parliament, was the first member of the Road Board and was instrumental in the introduction of vehicle registration plates. He worked tirelessly to promote motoring, introducing it to people of influence and helping to lay the foundations for mass motoring as we know it today.
In 1899 John Scott Montagu drove the first car to enter the yard of the House of Commons at Westminster, his recently acquired 12hp Daimler. In September that year, he competed in the Paris–Ostend race, and the Daimler finished third in the touring car class. It was the first time that British competitors had taken part in a European road race and was the first prize ever awarded to a British driver in a British-built car.
In 1902 John Scott Montagu launched the weekly journal: The Car Illustrated. Mainly about motoring, this beautifully illustrated periodical was subtitled A Journal of Travel by Land, Sea and Air. John Scott Montagu also launched a monthly journal called The Car.
Edward, 3rd Baron Montagu of Beaulieu
Fifty years later, Edward, Lord Montagu, opened Palace House to the public. A collection of five early motor cars was placed on display in the entrance hall as a tribute to his father, John Scott Montagu, who had died in 1929. By 1956, this display had grown and was moved into converted wooden outbuildings to create the first Montagu Motor Museum. The opening ceremony was performed by Lord Brabazon of Tara. The same year, Edward, Lord Montagu followed in his father's footsteps and launched a motoring periodical, The Veteran & Vintage Magazine. This monthly journal covered Veteran, Edwardian, Vintage and Thoroughbred motoring and motorcycling.
The Montagu Motor Museum proved very popular and in 1959 it moved into a larger, specially made building. Lord Brabazon of Tara again performed the opening ceremony. Public interest in old vehicles continued to grow and Montagu Motor Museums were opened in Brighton by 1961 and Measham in the Midlands by 1962. These satellite museums no longer exist, but the main Montagu Motor Museum at Beaulieu was replaced by the National Motor Museum in 1972 as an independent museum backed by a charitable trust: The National Motor Museum Trust.
Just as his father, John Scott Montagu, had been a pioneer motorist, Edward, Lord Montagu was a pioneer of motoring heritage. Enthusiasts had been calling for a motor museum since the early 1900s and a national museum of motoring finally became a reality in 1972. The dedication and perseverance of enthusiasts have always been very important in preserving old vehicles and motorcycles. Edward, Lord Montagu played a significant role in this story, setting up the National Motor Museum Trust as a charitable organisation and saving this legacy for the nation.

There's also stuff I can't talk about, but that's always true.
Work was pretty good today. The news was that the build disc we made yesterday had no problems that we've been able to find, but there was one file whose origin I found suspect, so we spent the first half of today figuring out how to create it ourselves. I take most of the credit for that - I did the Internet research to find how to create the type of file we needed, then put the necessary steps into our process. It's a bit clunky, but it seems to work. The last hurdle I think might stand in our way is making sure we can build that disc on another computer, using a fresh checkout of the same build process. Someone tried that at the end of the day and managed to make the disc, I think, but we still need to test it. And then we should test the program itself to make sure everything works. But that's all for next week. I've got the final Psychonauts video uploading, and this morning, Gamersgate got back to me with my new Gobliiins 4 activation code, so I have a working copy of that game again. And the weekend will be pretty busy whether I go somewhere or stay home. I think it was a good day all around.


Posted September 27, 2018 by Liz & filed under Holidays, Shopping.
There is nothing more satisfying than the convenience of online shopping, especially around the holidays. When the malls are full of crowds and germs, you can turn to your computer to get all of your Christmas shopping done. Plus, you can usually find special deals and even free shipping!
Stores usually only care a certain amount of one item and usually have limits on sizes, etc. But with online shopping, you have plenty of more options! You can choose from a number of different styles, sizes, colors and more. Plus, it is easy to browse all of the different options online. If you can't find exactly what you are looking for because it is out of stock, many places offer the option of being alerted when an item comes back in stock. It can be hard to hit all of the different stores you want to shop at. That is another beauty of online shopping, all of your favorite spots like Sello are conveniently in one spot! And many of these stores offer exclusive online deals and coupons, including free shipping!
The malls and most stores get super crowded during the holidays. It can be a pain just to find a parking spot! To avoid the crowds and avoid lugging around all of your bags across the mall and parking lot, you can shop online. It takes the hassle out of carrying your bags since it is delivered to your doorstep. It is also a great way to avoid germs and prevent getting sick during the season. Shopping online doesn't require much energy or patience like it does shopping at a busy mall!
Who doesn't have fun shopping online? There is no pressure to buy anything and you can take your time! Online shopping can be done in the comfort of your own home and at any time of day or night. Plus, the holidays can be stressful and online shopping is an efficient way to get all of your holiday gifts!

I think I may go on a hike somewhere cool, like crater lake, for my 1.5 year mark.
One of my favorite hikes ever! If you go take a boat tour on the lake. There are so many interesting things they tell you about the lake, how it formed, the folklore. The hike itself is beautiful as is the lake and Wizard Island.
Amazingly enough, here I am after 40+ years of drinking. It feels pretty damn good. Never give up.
Yaaaay! Happy 500! You are amazing. I appreciate your input here so much.
Who knew @Leigh! Congrats on your 512!
I always forget you are behind me. You wisdom makes it seem like you have years more sobriety than I do. 18 months is around the corner!
Thanks girl, always glad to see your stats, because it reminds me that I am right there behind you and I consider you one of my sober mentors. You have helped me so much.
Oh geez, what a scary thought… Thank you though. It is very flattering.
Welcome to the club @Forged!!!
Guess I'm in the club then. So happy to be here, had a relapse dream where I was drinking Guinness and Harp Lager which seems to happen around these milestones but they give me strength now rather than mess with my head. I remember thinking in the dream, these taste disgusting now, why am I doing this. I think it's because I was with friends who were drinking at the weekend.
Super huge congratulations!! That is quite a feat!!
Good work man! Lots of daily reprieves right there.
I'm halfway there, and a million miles from where I was.
There just aren't enough words for how much I love this - or you!

Spirit Reserves re-sign U-20 National Team pair
In continued preparation for the start of the 2014 season, the Washington Spirit eagerly announced today the return of Andi Sullivan and Brittany Basinger to the Reserves roster. Fresh off a two-game series sweep of China earlier this month in Florida, the United States U-20 Women's National Team duo return to the Spirit Reserves after a successful run with the squad in 2013.
Following the USL W-League season this summer, both Sullivan and Basinger will represent the United States at the 2014 FIFA U-20 Women's World Cup beginning in August.
A native of Lorton, Virginia, Sullivan is no stranger to the W-League. Prior to her stint with the Spirit Reserves last year, the dynamic midfielder was a member of the starting eleven for D.C United Women at the age of sixteen. Also the youngest member of the current U.S. U-20 WNT squad, Sullivan will join Stanford University this fall.
As a freshmen defender at Penn State last fall, Basinger started all 23 games for the Nittany Lions and helped the team to a 15-7-1 record. Basinger scored a goal for the United States in January against Guatemala, crashing in towards the far post from the left back position. The goal was not her first for the U.S. WNT program however, as Basinger notched her first tally as a member of the U-17 team against Slovenia in July of 2012.
Both Sullivan and Basinger started for Washington at the 2013 USL W-League Final Four Championships at the end of last summer in Bradenton, Florida. Sullivan scored the first goal of the weekend for the Spirit Reserves, hammering a shot home from distance to draw the match equal against the Pali Blues in the semifinals.
"I am very excited to welcome these two players back to the Spirit Reserves," commented Head Coach German Peri. "Andi and Brittany are a great example of the high level of talent in the league as well as within the Spirit organization."
"Having seen them both play locally, I know they will instantly add valuable experience to the team," concluded Peri.
The Washington Spirit Reserves face a challenging schedule of opponents in the Northeast Conference for the season, which include historic playoff contenders Long Island Rough Riders and W-League veterans New York Magic.
The Spirit Reserves kick off their season Saturday, May 17th against the Braddock Road Stars Elite at the Maryland SoccerPlex. Match time is currently slated for 3:00PM and is the first match of a special doubleheader with the Washington Spirit professional side. The Spirit take on Abby Wambach and the Western New York Flash at 6:30PM.

Who doesn't love a good "pot pie?" The Husband, that's who. When I first got married The Husband informed me "Never make chicken pot pie". That was the only food flare he shot up. Now, this is a man who will EAT ANYTHING, and I do mean anything. I mean, he hails from Taiwan- the island of stinky tofu for God's sake. He's like a clone of Andrew Zimmern, the man would eat rattlesnake if I served it. The back story behind this aversion to the pot pie stems from his childhood. You see, apparently growing up, every Friday night (or maybe more-and I'm sure he'll clarify it after reading this) his parents would go out to fulfill military social obligations and leave him a frozen pot pie to heat and eat. This little ritual went on for a number of years, hence the extreme aversion. These little gems aren't really a pot pie. No scary peas and carrots hiding inside. Think of them as an individual pocket of spicy Cajun goodness. Filled with juicy chicken, fresh summer sweet corn, onion, fire roasted red pepper, cilantro and lots of Cajun spice, and topped off with a Serrano chili (if you dare). What's not to love?!
In a food processor place the flour and salt and pulse a few times. Add butter and pulse until mixture is crumbly. Add yolk and 1 1/2 Tbsp. water and pulse until dough comes barely together, and add more water as necessary. Knead pastry lightly on a floured board until smooth. Press into a flat circle and wrap in plastic wrap. Chill dough for 30 minutes before attempting to roll out.
1. Heat olive oil in large saute pan add onion, corn and garlic and cook over medium heat until onion softens. Add Cajun seasoning and saute for 1-2 minutes. Remove to a bowl.
2. Heat another 1 Tbsp. oil in the same pan and add chicken and seasoning. Cook the chicken until browned. Stir in the diced red pepper. Add the flour and cook, stirring for about 1 minute. Stir in the chicken broth and scrape up the browned bits from the bottom of the pan and continue to cook until the mixture thickens. Stir in the onion corn mixture and stir. Stir in the cilantro. Taste and adjust any seasoning as necessary (I actually added a sprinkling of cayenne and paprika). Remove to a bowl and allow to cool before assembling pies.
3. Note: if you don't want to make fresh pastry dough you can also use purchased pie dough, or purchased empanada dough rounds. You could also use puff pastry dough and make hand pies.
Brush or spray 4 wells of a texas size muffin pan. Cut out 4 rounds of dough into 5 inch circles. Place the dough rounds into the wells; pressing the sides and bottom to fit. Fill the wells evenly with the chicken mixture. Cut out 4 more rounds that are 4 inch size and brush one side with the beaten egg, then turn over and place the egg side down over the filled pies. Brush the tops of each pie with egg wash, and (if desired) pierce the top and insert a fresh Serrano chili. Bake in a 400° F preheat oven for 24-25 minutes. Cool in the pan until cool enough to remove.

The sniffling from the other room stops after a while, then Shola emerges through the door, holding a notebook. I feel a stab of déjà vu as she settles across me; her twin sister had sat just there yesterday, listening as I told her about my strange dreams.
Wiping her eyes with a handkerchief, she places the notebook on the desk.
"I'm really sorry about your sister," I say.
I stare at her, confused, and she continues.
Footnote: This is the eleventh episode of The Beach Man, a 400-Word Blog Series.
Thanks for reading! And stay tuned for the twelfth episode next Monday.
I've been waiting for this episode all day. And my goodness! This is really exciting with a lesson learnt about patience and applying wisdom when need be. I'm sad the killer put an Folakemi's life. But I'm so eager to read about his doom--at least I believe he'll meet his end in a dreadful way.
The way you talked about Spiritualism in this episode deserve a lot of praise. It sounds so real.
She repeats "We?" at the same time I repeated "Demon?" Funny. I love the direction and how you're twisting this deeper into the supernatural. It's also so cool to learn about the levels of a spiritualist. Is that real? I didn't even miss the bad guy this episode. I've been waiting for what the sister had to say! Wonderful addition!
The spiritualism stuff isn't real. It just came to me as I wrote the episode. However, I plan on doing a research on the topic, as I do have a horror novel I plan to write some time. Well, that's why I like fiction: you could always twist things real and unreal, making them look real.
I'm glad you found the spiritualism stuff real, Robyn. Thanks for reading!
Dude,hw u take sabi all ds spiritualist stuff,u don initiate or u b oracle nw.nce addition and d experience abt spiritualism,u must b d next dibia of ya villa.so ifeoma na spiritualist level 5 before.wow...she must b a deadly witch..wonda hw she doesn't knw.boi u g@ me hooked again..nce work.E'FACE.
Hahaha! I be oracle before nahh. LOL. :) Thanks for reading, Eface. I'm glad you liked the spiritualism stuff.
The Beach man is a demon?? Oh, I like that. I already can imagine exorcisms and blood and fights. :)This is getting better and better, Kaykay. Well done.
You have some very nice developments here. I would suggest a little editing so you can get rid of the repetitions and make it a little clearer.
I also didn't miss the villain here. His episode was more engaging. Nice again with the spiritualism.
So it was true after all and the villain was not a disillusioned guy who thought Ify was his wife. She likely was really his wife.
How it will turn out is not my business. I'll patiently wait for where you steer this ship.
However, I'm curious as to how you wanna research into demonology, and to really clarify that demons do grow stronger and the likes.
sorry, I meant this episode was more engaging than to miss him.
Thanks for reading, Doc. About the research into demonology, I have a horror novel I'm planning to right, so that's where I'll need more and "accurate" knowledge about Spiritualism and Exorcism. Well, I'll try and talk to a priest, then talk to a real Spiritualist or White Magician. I have to get correct details about how everything works, so the book would look real.

Will required menu calorie counts curb eating?
Starting in December 2016, you may notice a change in the menus of your favorite chain restaurants. Thanks to the Affordable Care Act (ACA), many restaurants will have to list the calorie count of the food they serve.
The measure was originally to go into effect in December of this year, but restaurants just got a one-year reprieve, which critics worry will give food lobbyists extra time to kill the measure during the delay.
The rule covers chain restaurants with at least 20 stores. The requirements have three main components: First, each menu item must have a clearly visible calorie count. Second, the restaurant must point out that the average daily intake is 2,000 calories. Third, they must let customers know that detailed nutritional information about each menu item is available on request. The National Restaurant Association estimates about 1 out of 3 U.S eating establishments will be affected. The law also applies to vending machines that are part of an operating or ownership group of 20 vending machines or more.
Many hail this as an important step in the battle against obesity, but a review of 19 menu calorie labeling studies in May showed that the practice yielded virtually no statistically significant change in calorie consumption.
The Food and Drug Administration (FDA) remains undaunted. It estimated adding nutritional information to the menus will produce a "stream of benefits" of anywhere from $3.7 billion to $10.4 billion over the next 20 years. The FDA said the benefit was mostly attributable to a lower probability of death from eating healthier food.
Laura Bartee, clinical registered dietitian at Baylor All Saints Carter Rehabilitation & Fitness Center, said her research shows people are at least looking at calorie counts even though a smaller number act on the information.
"We can't give people this (calorie) information and not educate them on what they should be doing with it. Calories are king, and are what research proves impacts weight loss the most," Bertee said.
The percentage of total food calories consumed in restaurants has almost doubled, from about 18 percent in the 1970s to about 33 percent now. The rate of obese and overweight adults has since more than doubled. Restaurant food typically has larger portions, more fat, more calories, and less fiber than home-cooked meals, according to a Food and Drug Administration (FDA) 2014 analysis.
A study at the Johns Hopkins School of Public Health found that restaurant customers in Baltimore made little attempt to eat healthily when shown calorie listings. But when food calories were matched with an equivalent amount of exercise, they made more of an attempt to eat less.
The results were equally promising involving parents. A study earlier this year in the journal Pediatrics found that parents shown menus with any type of caloric content label may order fast food meals totaling fewer calories for their children. Moreover, menu labels showing physical activity equivalents may be more likely to influence parents to encourage their children to exercise.
Could menus listing exercise, not calories, be more effective?
The ACA allows restaurants to provide a range of calories, allowing for customization of dishes. Vox's Sarah Kliff found a Chipotle menu listed a burrito at between 350-970 calories. That's not very helpful. Bartee said a client once ate what he thought was a healthy Chipotle meal of chicken, brown rice, avocado, beans and salsa. He punched the ingredients into his calorie tracker and discovered he had consumed 750 calories.
People are not very good at estimating calories on their own. Harvard Medical School researchers found that people significantly underestimated the calories in their meals. More than 1 out of 4 underestimated calorie content by at least 500 calories, according to the research in the British Medical Journal in 2013. Bartee points out that even registered dietitians have difficulty estimating calories because it is difficult to know how the food was prepared.
Perhaps the strongest public policy justification for menu-nutrition labeling is the widely held assumption that more information is better than less information. According to a literature review of studies on menu labeling, the idea is clearly popular. In the United States, for instance, nearly three-quarters of Americans support menu labeling.

Handel and Haydn Society
Links www.handelandhaydn.org (English)
The Handel and Haydn Society, familiarly known as H&H, is an American chorus and period instrument orchestra based in Boston, Massachusetts. Founded in 1815, it is the second oldest musical organization in the United States after the U.S. Marine Band (founded 1798) and the oldest continuously performing arts organization in the United States.[1][2]
The Handel and Haydn Society was founded as an oratorio society in Boston on March 24, 1815, by a group of Boston merchants and musicians, "to promote the love of good music and a better performance of it". The founders, Gottlieb Graupner, Thomas Smith Webb, Amasa Winchester, and Matthew S. Parker,[3] described their aims as "cultivating and improving a correct taste in the performance of Sacred Music, and also to introduce into more general practice, the works of Handel, Haydn, and other eminent composers."[4] The Society premiered on Christmas Day, December 25, 1815, at King's Chapel (then Stone Chapel), with a chorus of 90 men and 10 women.[3] The early chorus members were middle-class tradesmen drawn from the choirs of local churches.[5] Only men could be members, while a far smaller number of women were invited to participate.[6] In its early decades the Society hired what musicians it could afford and used unpaid amateurs to complete the orchestra or sometimes substituted organ for orchestra.[7]
Jonas Chickering, at the start of his career as a piano manufacturer, joined the Society in 1818 at age 20 and later became its president.[8] The Society was also an early promoter of composer Lowell Mason, publishing his first collection of hymns in 1822 and later electing him as the group's President.[9] Profits from the sales of that hymnbook and a second collection of sacred music subsidized the Society for several decades.[10]
The Handel and Haydn Society has given a number of notable American premieres, including Handel's Messiah in 1818,[11] and the second U.S. performance of Haydn's The Creation in 1819.[12] The Society also sponsored the first American publication of an edition of Messiah in 1816.[13] It presented the U.S. premieres of musical settings by many baroque and classical composers, including Mozart and Bach. An 1818 assessment in the New England Palladium magazine said:[14]
Some early reviews noted that public interest waned after a few years as many standard works were repeated. John Rowe Parker wrote in the Euterpeiad:[15]
The Society's principal chronicler believes that repeating repertoire was necessary to support "much rehearsing until the inexperienced singers could master that which special enthusiasm had carried through in rough outline."[16] Membership from the start and well into the 20th century was limited to men, though the chorus, which was first dominated by male voices, was soon roughly balanced between male and female.[17]
About 1823, several of the Society's members commissioned Beethoven to compose an oratorio, apparently with an English text, which he never completed.[18]
From its earliest years, Handel and Haydn participated in music festivals and civic celebrations to commemorate significant historical events. For the visit of President James Monroe in 1817, the H&H orchestra performed a march composed for the occasion by their concertmaster, followed by almost two dozen arias and choruses.[19] In 1826, H&H joined the services in Faneuil Hall marking the deaths of President Adams and Jefferson. In 1830 it helped mark the 200th anniversary of the founding of Boston, and it gave a concert in 1833 to help raise funds for the completion of the Bunker Hill Monument.[20] President John Tyler attended an 1843 concert,[21] and the Society helped commemorate the death of Daniel Webster in 1852.[22] Its 600-member chorus participated in Boston's memorial service for Abraham Lincoln,[23] singing "Mourn, ye afflicted people" from Handel's Judas Maccabaeus and "Cast thy burden upon the Lord" from Mendelssohn's Elijah. It marked the centennial of Beethoven's birth by performing selections from his Ninth Symphony in 1870.[24] When Boston paid tribute to Admiral George Dewey upon his return from the SpanishAmerican War in 1899, 280 H&H singers greeted his arrival at City Hall with "See the Conquering Hero Comes" from Judas Maccabaeus.[25] It performed for Grand Duke Alexis of Russia[26] and Queen Elizabeth II. In addition, the Society held benefit concerts for the Union Army, victims of the Chicago fire of 1871,[26] and Russian Jewish refugees displaced by the 1882 May Laws.
The Society occasionally favored a composer whose modern reputation has not matched his nineteenth-century popularity. In the 1830s, the Society presented David, an oratorio by Haydn's pupil Sigismund von Neukomm, 55 times.[27] By the 1850s, H&H had hundreds of members, but fewer than half participated as the Society presented repeat performances of a small number of classic oratorios varied only by a sampling of church anthems. Rossini's Moses in Egypt was performed 25 times in the course of two seasons in the mid-1840s. In 1852, the Society upgraded the quality of its orchestral support by hiring the Germania Orchestra, a band of European immigrant musicians with their own conductor, a group far better trained than the musicians hired until then who had found Mendelssohn's works very challenging.[28]
The Society marked its golden jubilee in May 1865 with a five-day festival of nine concerts employing a chorus of 700. It included the first H&H performance with full orchestra of Mendelssohn's Hymn of Praise.[29] Five more such festivals using more modest forces followed at three-year intervals.[30][31] Years of preparation led to the first all-but-complete H&H performance of Bach's St. Matthew Passion on May 8, 1874.[32]
The Society has performed Handel's Messiah annually since 1854. It gave the first United States performances of Verdi's Requiem in 1878, just four years after its world premiere,[33] and of Handel's Joshua on Easter Sunday 1876.[34] The first works by American composers appeared in the Society's 1874 programs: St. Peter by John Knowles Paine and the Forty-sixth Psalm by Dudley Buck.[35] In 1892, the Society presented the premiere of the Mass in E flat by Amy Beach, a youthful work by the first important female American composer.[36] Critics condemned the H&H performance of the Berlioz Te Deum in 1888 as the work of "a musical crank".[37]
As the Society considered works outside the traditional religious oratorio tradition, such as Saint-Saens' Samson and Delilah, it surveyed local religious leaders to determine if they would object to such performances on Sunday evenings. Some did not object to the music or subject matter, but to conducting a commercial enterprise on the Sabbath. In a few instances, the music was modified for Sunday performances, as when the drinking song was dropped from Haydn's The Creation.[38]
The Society participated in some of the mass concerts and festivals that followed the end of the American Civil War, at first reluctantly. Invited to participate in Boston's National Peace Jubilee that assembled more than 10,000 voices, H&H was, according to the event's organizer, "the very first invited, yet they were among the very lastthe one hundred and second societyto accept."[39] In 1870 the Society joined in a New York City celebration, with members of the orchestra and 546 chorus members taking overnight boats to perform excerpts from Elijah.[40] When H&H traveled to perform the complete Elijah and other works in New York City and Brooklyn in 1873, a special train carried the performers, including approximately 400 singers.[41][42]
To mark the arrival of the twentieth century, 200 members of the H&H chorus participated in a midnight ceremony at the Massachusetts State House on December 31, 1899, leading the singing of "Old One Hundredth" and "America".[43] In the new century, as musical tastes changed and other professional groups competed for the same audience, H&H reduced its performances to four annually and avoided innovative repertoire choices. Occasionally a concert took on the flavor of a "pops concert", with sentimental vocal solos including Arthur Sullivan's "The Lost Chord", even as the Society's president lamented how the public was distracted from concert-going "in these days of radio and victrolas."[44]
The Society struggled during the financial crisis of the 1930s, experimenting unsuccessfully with evenings of Wagner excerpts. A better strategy arranged for concerts to be sponsored by local charities, such as the League of Catholic Women, Boston University, and Faulkner Hospital, all of which underwrote ticket sales.[45] World War II created personnel problems and the number of choristers fell to 206 active members, its lowest point in a hundred years. Yet the Society ambitiously planned its first performance of Brahms' A German Requiem for April 29, 1945, and dedicated it to President Roosevelt who died on April 12.[46]
H&H marked its 150th anniversary in March 1965 with the premiere of Randall Thompson's The Passion According to St. Luke, which it commissioned for the occasion.[47][48]
Historically informed performance
Toward the middle of the 20th century, the Handel and Haydn Society began adopting the practices of the historically informed performance movement, striving for vocal and instrumental authenticity. In Michael Steinberg's words: "Decisions about tempo, articulation, vocal embellishment (long felt to be sacrilegious and unthinkable), weight and color of sonority, all contributed to this process." Writing in 2005, he included Thomas Dunn in a list of seven "conductors who most powerfully effected this re-examination."[49]
In 1967, Dunn, an expert in baroque performance practice, became the Society's Artistic Director and transformed its large amateur chorus into a smaller professional musical ensemble.[50] In 1963, Time magazine had called Dunn "the hero of the baroqueniks".[51] Under Dunn in 1977, H&H made the first recording of Alfred Mann's 1963 edition of Messiah, the only recording at the time in which the soloists joined in singing the choruses, following the practice of Handel's time.[52]
Christopher Hogwood succeeded Dunn in 1986, and under his direction the Society's orchestra began using period instruments in their performances. The Society has since remained committed to historically informed performance practice.
With Hogwood, the Society made its first appearance outside of the United States at the 1996 Edinburgh Festival.[53] H&H also presented a number of programs that linked the baroque tradition of improvisation to that of such contemporary jazz artists as Chick Corea and Gary Burton.[54]
Grant Llewellyn was music director from 2001 through 2006 and held the title of principal conductor for three seasons through 2009.[55] During his tenure, the Society produced several commercial recordings, including Peace and All is Bright, and received its first Grammy Award for a collaboration with the San Francisco choral ensemble Chanticleer for the 2003 recording of Sir John Tavener's Lamentations and Praises.[56]
The Society also entered into a multi-year partnership with Chinese director Chen Shi-Zheng starting in 2003, which resulted in fully staged productions of Monteverdi's Vespers (in 2003)[57] and Orfeo (in 2006) that Chen saw as the beginning of a cycle of Monteverdi's surviving operas and his Vespers. The 2006 Orfeo was co-produced by the English National Opera. Chen also directed a production of Purcell's Dido and Aeneas in 2005 for Handel and Haydn. In July 2007, the ensemble made its debut at the London Proms under Sir Roger Norrington.[58]
Harry Christophers first conducted the Handel and Haydn Society in September 2006 at the Esterházy Palace at the Haydn Festival in Eisenstadt, Austria, the Society's first appearance on the European continent. He returned to the Society for further guest-conducting appearances in December 2007 and January 2008. In September 2008, the Society announced the appointment of Christophers as its artistic director, effective with the 2009-2010 season, with an initial contract of three years. In September 2011, the Society extended Christophers' contract for another four years, through the 2015-2016 season.[59][60]
Since 2011, each concert season has featured masterworks the Society premiered in the United States. In February 2011, it presented Handel's Israel in Egypt, the American premiere of which it gave on February 13, 1859. In March and April 2012, the Society performed Bach's St. Matthew Passion. The Society gave the complete American premiere of Bach's masterpiece in 1879. The group gave several concerts in California in the spring of 2013 and ended its 2012-2013 season with Handel's Jephtha, a dramatic oratorio given its American premiere by H&H in 1867.[61]
In 2015, the Handel and Haydn Society plans to celebrate its bicentennial, beginning with its 161st annual performances of Handel's Messiah in December 2014 and closing with Messiah again in December 2015. Throughout the year, the Society plans to present exhibits, lectures, free concerts, and more designed to showcase its rich history and future plans.
The Handel and Haydn Society maintains a publicly accessible online searchable archive of its performances and artist history. All performances and artists from 1815 to the present can be accessed.
Prior to 1847, conducting duties fell nominally to the President of the Society. However, the keyboardist or first violin in the orchestra did most of the actual conducting. As the Society's ambitions grew, it became increasingly clear that it needed more established musical leadership. Over the years, the name of the title has changed several times, from "Conductor" to later titles of "Artistic Director" and "Music Director".

The Handel and Haydn Society's Karen S. and George D. Levy Educational Outreach Program provides music education to children in communities throughout eastern Massachusetts with several components:
The Vocal Apprenticeship Program (VAP) provides in-depth training for talented young singers in grades 3-12. It was established in 1994 to identify and nurture youngsters with special talent whose families lack the financial resources to pursue private instruction.
The Vocal Quartet visits schools with original presentations developed to teach music history in an entertaining, age appropriate way.
Collaborative Youth Concerts bring singers from different high schools together to perform in their home communities alongside Handel and Haydn Society musicians.
The Society selects the winner of its annual Candace MacMillen Achtmeyer Award, which extends the Society's support to an outstanding senior who has participated for at least two years in the Vocal Apprenticeship Program (High School Soloists, Young Men's Chorus, Young Women's Chorus).[n 3]
The Barbara E. Maze Award for Musical Excellence extends the Society's support to an outstanding VAP alumnus with a cash award of $2,000 given to a high school graduate who intends to continue professional vocal instruction. The award is named in honor of Handel and Haydn Society Governor Barbara E. Maze, who was instrumental in creating VAP. Ms. Maze was Chair of the Societys Cultural Diversity Committee, and a member of the Handel and Haydn Educational Outreach Committee. She was a retired Assistant Dean of Student Affairs for Boston University. Maze was the National Chairperson for the Leontyne Price Vocal Arts Competition, and President of Project STEP.

Glass partitions: achieving women's workplace potential needs a rethink of corporate governance
Aubrey Blanche, Head of Equitable Design and Impact at HR software company Culture Amp, explains how gender equality can be transformed from an aspiration into a fact.
As International Women's Day in 2020 celebrates the enablement of women and people of other marginalised genders, we might take a moment to celebrate the long march towards more equitable rights and opportunities, given that FTSE 100 firms' now have one third female board members and as initiatives like #Metoo are challenging and changing long-held practices and abuses.
Taking a deeper look at the 21st century workplace, we must ask if we are enabling women's true potential as collaborators, innovators and leaders. Even as glass ceilings are cracking for white women, the evidence says companies are still maintaining unmistakable glass partitions at work, actively preventing women from achieving their potential – individually and for their organisation. Recent data reveal that these barriers are rooted in the way today's organisations are governed, and, more widespread than we thought.
When we analysed 250,000 anonymised employee appraisals from companies around the world, we discovered clear evidence of widespread scepticism and disengagement. It's not surprising: women feel they are not brought meaningfully into their company's decision-making process, and often denied equitable career opportunities.
A governance issue
Take a glance at organisations' governance. Asked if they are satisfied with how decisions are made, fewer than half of women (46%) said they were, compared with almost six in ten (58%) men. There was a bigger disparity over women's inclusion in the decisions affecting their work, with 72% of men agreeing they were, with only 59% of women doing so. It's no wonder that only 71% of women believe that people from all backgrounds have equal opportunities to succeed at their company 81% of their male colleagues do.
Women's scepticism over the way people's gender affects how they are assessed and valued is marked too. Our analysis shows that women are more likely to be given broad personality-based feedback than men, who receive skills-focused discussions. Women are still subject to The Abrasiveness Trap. This finding also echoes research in Harvard Business Review highlighting how the vagueness of appraisal feedback holds women back.
If these findings only confirm gender imbalance that we've long suspected, should they matter? Indeed they do. Well-known research from McKinsey showed companies with gender-diverse teams are more likely to have above average financial performance. In 2018, the Centre for Business and Economics research put the economic cost of gender-based workplace discrimination in the UK economy alone at £123 billion annually.
For International Women's Day to realize its enabling mission for people denied equitable opportunities because of their gender, and organisations to create a more gender-balanced, happier and better-performing workforce, companies need to evolve four components of their governance.
A role for women
First, women and non-binary people need to be given a role in organisations' decision-making: women – board members or not – need to be on companies' executive, remuneration and audit committees to identify inequitable outcomes. Don't take my word for it, either. While the Hampton-Alexander Review is doing a sterling job in calling out gender imbalance in FTSE 350 firms its greater legacy might be identifying those 35 FTSE 350 companies with all-male executive committees. Every one of those executives has the power and opportunity to sponsor and provide greater access to successors who don't look like them.
Open communications
Second, we need more open and honest two-way communications, so management hears of women's concerns, disillusionment and outright disengagement with their workplace. But communication won't be enough; women and non-binary employees must be directly involved in design the solutions that are put in place to improve their experiences.
Avoiding bias
Third, we need to move away from 'open box' employee feedback and performance reviews that maximize the impact of bias – conscious and unconscious – on employee's professional opportunities and advancement. The solution is simple, and made even easier with the ready availability of technology: ensure there are clear and pre-agreed performance criteria and skills-focused feedback. This leads not only to less bias in the process, but feedback that truly drives employee growth and performance.
Using the right language
Fourth, we need to change our language. It's very common for people to conform to socially defined stereotypes – such as women being 'nice' and good at 'emotionally managing others' because they are required to – while often not being valued for the actual innovation they produce and results they deliver.
Executives and managers' language in meetings and appraisals needs to be thoughtful about the way that these stereotypes influence their perceptions of female and non-binary employees; this shift will turn staff feedback, product development and executive committee meetings alike into more positive and practical insights.
International Women's Day calls each of us to take action to realize a world in which gender equity is a fact, not an aspiration. Until we find ways to dismantle the glass partitions bias that constrain women and non-binary people's true ability to collaborate, innovate and lead, many companies will continue to have under-engaged employees, undermining their innovative potential and financial performance.
Aubrey Blanche is The Mathpath and Global Head of Equitable Design and Impact at the people and culture platform, Culture Amp, helping the company and its customers think about their design of processes, programs, and products to promote fairness and a sense of belonging while enabling leaders and managers to set their goals while proactively identifying and removing barriers.
Rebuilding for resiliency
It is the need for resilience rather than agility that is driving the business case for most emerging technology deployments.
Why 5G is everyone's business
5G can bring about better healthcare, increase education standards and shore up supply chains. That's a prize we should all…
Cyber-security isn't just about IT
Organisations need to establish a real-time view of the workforce's cyber capabilities and continuously improve their contribution to resilience.
