Bach enriched established German styles through his mastery of counterpoint, harmonic, and motivic organisation, [4] and his adaptation of rhythms, forms, and textures from abroad, particularly from Italy and France. Bach's compositions include hundreds of cantatas, both sacred and secular. He composed Latin church music, Passions, oratorios, and motets. He often adopted Lutheran hymns, not only in his larger vocal works, but for instance also in his four-part chorales and his sacred songs. He wrote extensively for organ and for other keyboard instruments. He composed concertos, for instance for violin and for harpsichord, and suites, as chamber music as well as for orchestra. Many of his works employ the genres of canon and fugue. June 19– At a time when mountain climbing is still relatively uncommon, Eggert Ólafsson and Bjarni Pálsson scale their first peak, the 4,892 foot (1,491m) high Icelandic volcano, Hekla. [13] As you have found out from the examples above, mental maths skills are all about breaking a problem down into numbers that are easy to deal with in your head. Sometimes we need to turn the calculation around and think of it in a different way.

This study associated shift work with high risk for CVD using hs-CRP as the risk marker (Table 2). This result concurs with earlier reports [ 29, 30]. CRP is highly stable and allows for accurate measurements without special collection procedures [ 31]. CRP is an independent predictor that adds information to lipid screening and to the Framingham scores [ 31, 32]. CRP increases plasminogen activator inhibitor-1 (PAI-1) expression and activity. Increase PAI-1 indicates lowered plasminolysis and thus leads to atherogenesis [ 32]. CRP can also localize atherosclerotic lesions by promoting complement activation. Activated complement may provoke vasoconstriction of coronary vessels [ 33]. Ridker PM. Clinical application of C-reactive protein for cardiovascular disease detection and prevention.

October – 'Captain' James MacLaine (or Maclean), gentleman highwayman (born 1724) ( hanged at Tyburn)In the early days of gunpowder weaponry, it was a highly technical craft: an empire needed a large, skilled population to cast the metal parts for weapons as well as a resource pool to manufacture gunpowder. Training soldiers in gunpowder weaponry also took time and money, money only a large empire possessed. But even smaller states like the Tokugawa Shogunate owed their success to the carefully trained use of gunpowder weapons. A. J. B.
