The French Connection

Music in France around the end of the 19th Century and beginning of the 20th Century is often defined by the music of Debussy and Ravel. However, there were other composers at that time who, stylistically, were heading in another direction. Phil Whelan and I take a look at some of these composers and, unsurprisingly, find some glorious music. Georges Bizet (1838-1875)Symphony in C: Movt IV…

A Surgeon’s Journey in Medicine

Called to be a Surgeon, Not for Bread Alone: Neville K. Connolly, MA, MD. FRCS. FACS. FAAP

Dr. Neville Connolly’s desire to be a physician started early in his life when he decided he wanted to be able to spend his life helping people. When he started college at Kings College, Cambridge Univ. it was at the start of WW II in England. He felt that being a physician would allow him to be of help to many of the sick and wounded.  After graduating from Cambridge University, he was given a Rockefeller scholarship to go to Harvard Medical School in the USA. Neville went in a convoy of Merchant Marine ships, escorted by destroyers, to New York to attend Harvard. He arrived at Harvard just as the US was attacked at Pearl Harbor and entered the war. While attending Harvard he did training at Johns Hopkins Hospital in Baltimore, Maryland and was assigned to assist some of the great names of Hopkins surgeons. Among them were Blaylock, who developed the “blue baby” operation and was one of the pioneers of cardiac surgery, though he did not confine himself to this field. Firor, who was always a perfect gentleman and a superb, thoughtful surgeon, Reinhoff, nicknamed “Wild Bill”, was fearless but an excellent technician. All this activity was a sharp contrast to the leisurely discussions and seeming inactivity of the Medical Service that he was exposed to in Boston. The results of surgery were swift, and whether successful or not, determinate, it depended on technical skill as well as thoughtful planning. The whole atmosphere was intoxicating for a budding physician. It was here that he changed his mind and decided to become a surgeon. He still liked children and saw the possibilities of combining both his interests by becoming a pediatric surgeon. After graduating from Harvard. he returned to England to get his medical degree from Cambridge. To do this, he had to attend courses at an English Hospital. Since St. Thomas’s Hospital ln London had awarded Neville a scholarship before he accepted the scholarship from Rockefeller to go to Harvard, they allowed him to join their courses. Neville covers in great detail his learning experiences and the differences between the English and American system of training. At the end of his training he passed his exams at Cambridge and got his medical degree. Shortly after that the war ended in Europe, Neville started work at St. Thomas’s as a house officer This was his first year as a doctor, 1945-46. At the end of his six-month appointment he had to apply for another six months as a House surgeon before he could do his National Service in the ARF. He was anxious to get started in the field of his special interest, Pediatric Surgery. Neville’s father knew Sir Stanford Cade, who was the senior Surgical Consultant to the RAF and became Vice President of the Royal College of Surgeons. He was a very influential advocate for the RAF and was able to organize a special burn service at the RAF Hospital. He offered to introduce Neville to the staff of Great Ormond Street Hospital for Sick Children, the premier hospital for children in England. Though Neville was offered another six months at St. Thomas’s He applied at Great Ormond Street and was awarded a House Surgeon appointment to work with Denis Browne who later became Sir Denis Brown, the Queen’s surgeon. Great Ormond Street is a remarkable Hospital. It is the first Hospital in England to care for children exclusively. Neville goes into great detail about how much he learned and how many skills he mastered while working with Denis Brown. After his training at Great Ormand Street Neville started to study for his exams to become a Fellow of the Royal College of Surgeons. During this time, he went into the Royal Air Force to serve his military obligation and was assigned as a surgeon to Ely Hospital, which was one of the main RAF hospitals that had one of the main burn units set up to treat burned pilots, many of them casualties from the battle of Britain. After finishing his service in the RAF, Neville went to St. Thomas’s Hospital as a supernumerary registrar, which was a position provided for ex-service men to get extra training. During that time, he passed his exams and became a Fellow of the Royal College of Surgeons. England had just started the National Health Service and Neville got a position at Norwich Hospital as a middle grade surgical Registrar. He was assigned to two of the four consultant surgeons, Mr. Birt and Mr. Ridley Thomas. This was in the early days of the National Health Service. He found that they were inundated with patients. Once the patient chose the surgeon they wanted, they always saw the same surgeon unless they asked to have a different one. This allowed excellent continuity of care. On a busy day, and most were, they could see as man as 50 patients in a session. At the onset of the National Health Service no one had any concept of the enormity of the health problems lurking in the background. As soon as people realized they could get surgery for their problems without paying for it, they came forward with conditions like hernias, varicose veins and hemorrhoids that they had tolerated for years. The work load was stupendous. After two years at Norwich Hospital Neville returned to Great Ormond Street as a senior Registrar to continue his Pediatric surgical training. After he finished his training at Great Ormond Street he realized that there were few jobs for pediatric surgeon positions in the National Health Service. It was a specialty that was just beginning to be recognized. Neville realized it would be some time before he would possibly be able to get an appointment as a Pediatric surgeon. When he had visited his wife’s family in Washington, DC, he had been introduced to Dr. John Lyons, who was the Senior surgeon at one of the hospitals there. Dr. Lyons had taken care of Agnes, Neville’s wife, when she was very sick as a girl. Dr. Lyon’s told Neville if he ever decided to immigrate to Washington, he would welcome him as his associate. Dr. Lyon’s reputation was outstanding, both as a surgeon and as a man utterly devoted to his patients. Neville saw the move as a chance to make his own career on his own merits rather than chancing it on a selection committee of the Health Service. He decided to make the move to start his private practice in Washington. Read the full article

Le Silence de Churchill

03/02/2020 - Histoire et Géographie

Le 10 mai 1940, le premier ministre anglais, Neville Chamberlain, surnommé le « Peacemaker » sait qu’il n’est plus l’homme qu’il faut pour conduire le pays dans la guerre. Son successeur naturel ne peut être Lord Hallifax, son chef de parti. Mais il hésite. Un autre candidat lui parait autrement mieux taillé pour diriger le pays dans les heures sombres de la guerre ; Winston Churchill, celui qui a dit, lorsqu’il est rentré de Munich en ayant entériné les accords de Munich, avec le français Daladier en cédant devant Hitler: ils avaient le choix entre le déshonneur et la guerre ; ils ont choisi le déshonneur … ils auront la guerre. Finalement, il lui propose un poste de numéro deux du gouvernement et convoque Halifax et Churchill dès le lendemain.

Mis au courant, le patron de presse Lord Beaverbrook, grand ami de Churchill essaie de le convaincre de faire le forcing pour prendre le poste à la place de Hallifax. 

Churchill s’y refuse, par loyauté pour son parti. Et puis, Churchill a essuyé un important revers lors d’élections récentes, ses positions en faveur d’Edouard VII et Wallis Simpson (Edouard VII a renoncé au trône par amour pour l’américaine Wallis Simpson, aux mœurs bien éloignés de l’étiquette de Buckingham Palace) l’ont rendu impopulaire et en matière de guerre, le sévère échec de la campagne des Dardanelles (260 000 soldats morts du fait d’un manque de professionnalisme flagrant de l’état-major britannique pour une opération commandée et supervisée par le Ministre de la Marine de l’époque, Winston Churchill, himself) résonne en lui comme une faute personnelle. Churchill conclut leur entretien par ces mots : « S’il me propose le poste, j’y vais, sinon, ce sera Halifax ». Beaverbrock demande alors à Churchill de rester silencieux pendant 3 minutes durant l’entretien du lendemain, au moment où Halifax et Chamberlain vont lui proposer le poste de N°2.

Le lendemain, dans le bureau de Chamberlain: _ J’ai décidé de passer la main à Sir Halifax. Sir Churchill, êtes-vous partant pour devenir le numéro 2 du gouvernement de Sir Halifax ?

Silence de Churchill. 1 minute. Churchill fume son cigare. Impassible. Regardant devant lui.

1 minute 30. Toujours le silence.

Au bout de 2 minutes, Halifax prend la parole pour indiquer qu’à son avis, Churchill serait le meilleur choix pour diriger le gouvernement.

La suite est entrée dans l’histoire avec notamment ces fameux discours fédérateurs :

Le célébre  « je n’ai rien d’autre à vous promettre que du sang, du labeur, des larmes et de la sueur » , discours à la chambre des Lords prononcé lors de sa prise de fonction et celui à la nation, le non moins fameux « shall we fight on the beach » :       … Nous irons jusqu'au bout, nous nous battrons en France, nous nous battrons sur les mers et les océans, nous nous battrons avec toujours plus de confiance ainsi qu'une force grandissante dans les airs, nous défendrons notre Île, quel qu'en soit le coût, nous nous battrons sur les plages, nous nous battrons sur les terrains de débarquement, nous nous battrons dans les champs et dans les rues, nous nous battrons dans les collines ; nous ne nous rendrons jamais, et même si, bien que je n'y croie pas un seul instant, cette Île ou une grande partie de cette Île était asservie et affamée, alors notre Empire au-delà des mers, armé et gardé par la flotte britannique, continuerait de lutter, jusqu'à ce que, quand Dieu le voudra, le Nouveau Monde, avec tout son pouvoir et sa puissance, vienne secourir et libérer l'Ancien »

Winston Churchill, We shall fight on the beaches

La légende veut qu’il aurait rajouté, à une répétition : Et s’il le faut, nous les chasserons à coup de bouteille de bière vide, car ce sera tout ce qu’il nous restera.

Harry Potter Memes

I saw something a while ago with harry potter memes and tried to find a way to get them all to fit in. Tada!

 “Do you even know what you’re doing, you stupid little toad?” Snape snapped at Neville. The room gets quiet as everyone turns to see what happened. Neville is staring down at his cauldron, which is emitting a red smoke that isn’t a byproduct of the ageing potion the class was told to make. “No- no sir. I’m mean yes sir. I mean-” Neville stutters, trying to find the right words. “What I think he means, Professor is that he knows what he’s meant to be doing, but he made a mistake and currently is a little off track.” Hermione says, walking towards Neville’s workstation. “Miss Granger, I was talking to Mr. Longbottom over here. Are you Neville Longbottom?” Hermione reaches around Neville and grabs the Hairy Fungus that neville had forgotten to add after the first sight of bubbles began to form. “No, sir,” she said, not even looking up. “I’m Fred.” The cauldron begins to look like the others in the room as Hermione walks back to her station. “So Granger, you think you’re the teacher now? Fine, here take this ladle. You’re going to need it when you check and see all the potions failed.” Snape says shaking his ladle at Hermione. “Hermione, don’t take it!” Yells Harry. “It could be a portkey.” He whispers loudly. “That ladle couldn’t be a portkey!”Objects Hannah Abbot. “Look at it! It’s clearly a Hufflepuff. And everyone knows, a Hufflepuff could never be a portkey.” Students around the room snicker as Snape gets even more enraged. “You all have a week's detention down here with me. We will be cleaning and organizing every single book, vial, ingredient, and SPECK OF DUST. Do you hear me?” “I’d rather be petrified.” Ron says under his breath.

The next day,  the students report for detention, and Seamus entertains the class by telling the story about how he dared Dean to run up to the whomping willow and yell “spank me daddy” at it when the herbology class was holding a class nearby. Right as he was getting to the good part, Snape pushes him out of the way and stalks to the front of the room. “Get to work.” The class gets to work cleaning, but quickly gets bored of the whole ordeal and start to lose focus. First I was Luna who yelled “TRELAWNEY” at Ron and Ron told this ludicrous story about how the letter opener he was holding was found in a river and had the power to sever relationships. Then Neville pulled a Lockhart on Harry when he was holding a feather. “Oh, yes, well you see here. This feather was used, by yours truly, to SLAY the mighty ogre of Guinea. He was no match for me because you see, I am so strong that I can actually throw anything so fast that it becomes a deadly projectile. I saw the ogre running towards me and BAM! I threw this feather so hard it went straight through its heart. You can find that and many more stories in my latest book called ‘Why am I so amazing and handsome?’.” This causes Lavender to laugh so hard, that she starts crying. “Stop all that yelling!” Yells snape. “Oh sure, when I do it it's distracting and annoying, but when a shack does it it’s completely normal?” Snape goes back into hiding in his personal ingredient pantry and the kids continue to try to make detention less awful. “I would rather fight off a fully grown blast ended skrewt than do this for another week.” Hermione sighs. “I’m sorry,” says Dean. “a what? I don’t know what a blast ended skrewt is?” Hermione rolls her eyes at Dean. “I would rather fight off a fully grown power bottom than do this for another week.” Seamus and Dean high five and get back to sorting blue vials. This goes on for a few more hours before Draco and his gang walk in. “So POTTER. See you got in a bit of trouble. Makes sense if you ask me. You all probably deserve a month’s worth of detention.” “Yeah, POTTER. You sure did mess up big time, POTTER. I can’t believe you, POTTER.” Ron says, doing his best impression of Draco. Colin Creevey moves so he’s standing right behind Draco and holds up that one picture he took of Hermione punching Draco. Everyone laughs and Draco storms off muttering about telling his father about this. “Wow Ron, that was a pretty good impression. Can you teach me how to do it?” Luna asks. “Teach you how to talk like Draco? I could teach you how to marinate your words in Blonde Brat. I can teach you how to puree perfection. I can help you pressure cook precision.” As Ron tries to help Luna say POTTER correctly, Hermione and Neville are talking about what the classes were like years ago. “But like, do you think Nebula Skarsgard had textbooks filled with leggy birbs or did he have to add them? What if he didn’t have leggy birbs in his textbooks when he was our age? Newb Saladspinner deserves to have leggy birbs in his textbooks” Neville ponders. Meanwhile, Harry is talking to a cat that got in when Draco stormed out. “McGonagall,, I just can’t believe I’m in detention. We didn’t even do anything wrong, Snape is just a jerk. Can you get us out of this? Help me out. What if you went and told Alfredo Discombobulated that we are being held hostage down here? He would get us out. “ “Harry, is that Mrs. Norris?” Neville asks. “No!” Yells Dean. “It’s McGonagall! Professor, you need to go tell our illustrious headmaster, Aforementioned Dorjam that we are prisoners in the dungeon. Help us out McGonagall. We might die down here.” Snape walks back in the room seconds after Dean lets Mrs. Norris back outside. “What the devil is going on here?” “Nothing much here, how about you?” Ron says while hiding a broken container behind his back. Snape storms off and leaves the children alone again. “Maybe we could cast a spell that could put all of this back where it goes. What do you think?” askes Seamus. The group then spends the next few minutes trying to cast a spell that could organize and clean everything in the dungeon. “Clean-it-osa” “Pick-it-up-ium” “Rubbish-away-iosa!” “Maybe you should try Alarte Ascendare.” Says a voice the students haven’t heard in awhile. They turn around and see Peeves the poltergeist.  “IT DAT BOI” The students yell. They ended up getting another week of detention, but when they were all together, it didn’t seem quite so bad.

Five Songs, May 2, 2021

Five Songs is BACK! There's a spring in our step, and the faint odor of somebody else's baggage near the trash cans out by the curb.

Here's to a bright but low-key celebration.

It Might As Well Be Spring; Jeanne Crain: From the first and best cinematic iteration of State Fair. What, you thought because she couldn't do Lady Macbeth that little Jeannie Crain couldn't act? Feh!

Fantasia On Greensleeves; Ralph Vaughan Williams, composer; Sir Neville Mariner conducting The Academy Of St. Martin In the Fields: Just when you think you've seen it all, RVW takes you deeper into the forest, and its strange sun-dappled magic.

Just One Look; The Hollies: Teenage ecstasy. What else is spring for?

Polovtsian Dances from Prince Igor; Nikolai Rimsky-Korsakov, composer; Ernest Ansermet conducting the Suisse Románde Orchestra: So many moods that, 55 years later, they made a musical out if it. Kismet is good, but the Dances are dizzying.

Banks Of the Nile; Fotheringay, feat. Sandy Denny: A scene that played out countless times in the English spring: Take the Queen's shilling, and fight for six blood-soaked months before the gangrene set in. Nancy does not know what she's asking, but one gets the feeling she'd come through it with flying colors.

Advancement of present day systems

Walter Yeo, a mariner harmed at the Battle of Jutland, is accepted to have gotten plastic surgery in 1917. The photo indicates him previously (left) and after (right) getting a fold surgery performed by Gillies

The father of present day plastic surgery is by and large considered to have been Sir Harold Gillies. A New Zealand otolaryngologist working in London, he created a significant number of the systems of present day facial surgery in tending to officers experiencing deforming facial wounds amid the First World War.

Amid World War I he filled in as a medicinal minder with the Royal Army Medical Corps. In the wake of working with the prestigious French oral and maxillofacial specialist Hippolyte Morestin on skin join, he influenced the armed force's central specialist, Arbuthnot-Lane, to build up facial damage ward at the Cambridge Military Hospital, Aldershot, later moved up to another doctor's facility for facial repairs at Sidcup in 1917. There Gillies and his partners created numerous procedures of plastic surgery; in excess of 11,000 activities were performed on in excess of 5,000 men (for the most part officers with facial wounds, for the most part from discharge wounds). After the war, Gillies built up a private practice with Rainsford Mowlem, including numerous popular patients, and headed out broadly to advance his propelled methods around the world.

In 1930, Gillies' cousin, Archibald McIndoe, joined the training and ended up focused on plastic surgery. At the point when World War II broke out, plastic surgery arrangement was to a great extent isolated between the diverse administrations of the military, and Gillies and his group were part up. Gillies himself was sent to Rooksdown House close Basingstoke, which turned into the foremost armed force plastic surgery unit; Tommy Kilner (who had worked with Gillies amid the First World War, and who now has a surgical instrument named after him, the kilner cheek retractor), went to Queen Mary's Hospital, Roehampton, and Mowlem to St Albans. McIndoe, expert to the RAF, moved to the as of late reconstructed Queen Victoria Hospital in East Grinstead, Sussex, and established a Center for Plastic and Jaw Surgery. There, he treated profound consume, and genuine facial distortion, for example, loss of eyelids, run of the mill of those caused to aircrew by consuming fuel. McIndoe is frequently perceived for not just growing new methods for treating seriously consumed faces and hands yet additionally to recognize the significance of the restoration of the losses and especially of social reintegration once more into ordinary life. He discarded the "healing garbs" and let the patients utilize their administration regalia. With the assistance of two companions, Neville and Elaine Blond, he additionally persuaded local people to help the patients and welcome them to their homes. McIndoe continued alluding to them as "his young men" and the staff called him "The Boss" or "The Maestro." His other vital work included improvement of the strolling stalk skin join, and the revelation that inundation in saline advanced mending and enhancing survival rates for casualties with broad copies — this was a fortunate disclosure drawn from perception of differential recuperating rates in pilots who had descended ashore and in the ocean. His radical, exploratory medications prompted the arrangement of the Guinea Pig Club at Queen Victoria Hospital, Sussex. Among the better known individuals from his "club" were Richard Hillary, Bill Foxley and Jimmy Edwards.

— Hater Hating Haters (@DefendWallSt) May 16, 2013

The rain let up eventually, and, a sufficient number of photos taken, Obama gave his umbrella brigade the boot:

As rain fades, Pres Obama dismisses umbrella-bearing US Marines.

— Mark Knoller (@markknoller) May 16, 2013

Obama just spoke to the marines by saying “Alright guys” in order to get the umbrellas away. So much disrespect.

— Katie Pavlich (@KatiePavlich) May 16, 2013

President Classy. And President Priorities:

Funny how quickly Obama got the Marines there when he was getting wet. Our men in Benghazi waited 8 hours for Obama to call in the Marines.

There are more marines holding umbrellas for Obama than were protecting Ambassador Stevens. #Benghazi

— Andy Lancaster (@andylancaster) May 16, 2013

Obama calls in Marines to hold umbrellas over him in the rain… but not to save lives in #Benghazi NO RESPECT

— Conservative Artist (@_AmyMarsh) May 16, 2013

@dloesch Obama gets Marines to protect him from rain. But, Amb. Stevens doesn’t get Marines to protect him from bullets & mortars? #Benghazi

— Garrett Hall (@Garrett_R_Hall) May 16, 2013

#FACT There are more Marines holding umbrellas for POTUS than were guarding Amb. Stevens in #Benghazi

— Greg Pollowitz (@GPollowitz) May 16, 2013

If only it were raining in Libya, the ambassador could have applied for protection from the US Marines.

— Greg Pollowitz (@GPollowitz) May 16, 2013

What a disgrace.

David Bowie, John Peel and Sandy Denny will all receive blue plaques in their honour, thanks to nominations made by BBC local radio listeners.

Forty-seven plaques will be unveiled on BBC Music Day this Thursday, recognising pioneering musicians and music venues around the UK.

Motorhead star Lemmy will be celebrated at Port Vale FC, which has adopted Ace Of Spades as its unofficial anthem.

Superstar tenor Alfie Boe will be the only living recipient of the award.

His plaque will be unveiled at Marine Hall in Fleetwood, where the musician gave his first public performance at the age of 14.

“I can’t believe that this is happening,” he told the BBC.

“You walk past so many blue plaques on buildings and you never suspect you’re going to be one of them. I’m just blown away by it, I really am.”

Billy Bragg will unveil a plaque for David Bowie at the site of the Trident Studios in Soho, where the star recorded his multi-million selling albums Hunky Dory and The Rise and Fall of Ziggy Stardust.

Bowie’s backing band The Spiders From Mars will also be commemorated at Hull’s Paragon Station – from where they took the train to meet the Thin White Duke in the 1970s.

Delia Derbyshire: Electronic music pioneer who wrote the Dr Who theme song, memorialised at her childhood home in Coventry

The Brighton Dome, Brighton: Site of ABBA’s victory in the 1974 Eurovision Song Contest

John Bonham: Drummer for Led Zeppelin, honoured at his childhood home in Redditch

Grimethorpe Colliery Band: Brass band whose story inspired the film Brassed Off, recognised on the centenary of their formation

The Mayfair Ballroom, Newcastle: Where the band who became Led Zeppelin made their live debut

Nick Drake: One of the most influential voices in folk-rock, commemorated in Far Leys, where he died aged 26

John Peel: Broadcasting legend and tireless champion of new music, honoured at his local village hall

Byfield Village Hall, Northampton: Site of folk singer Sandy Denny’s final gig in 1978

You can see the full list of recipients on the BBC Music Day website.

Q&A with Alfie Boe

Image caption Boe says he is “blown away” by the honour

Congratulations on being awarded a blue plaque. How does it feel?

I really can’t get over it. It’s an amazing thing to happen to me, and I’m not taking it lightly. I’m very, very, very honoured.

The plaque will be nailed to the wall of Marine Hall, where you played your first gig. What do you remember of that night?

I was a 14-year-old kid and I was very scared, very nervous. We were doing something called Songs from the Shows, and I was asked to sing Bring Him Home from Les Miserables. I never would have thought that, years later, that would have been a role I would have played on Broadway and in the West End.

Have you been back to the venue since?

I’ve played there a number of times. It’s a place that I hold very close to my heart. It’s a little gem of a theatre.

I even worked there as stage crew and then in the waiting staff for all the banquets and balls they used to have.

I bet they’re not putting that on the plaque.

“Alfie Boe stacked chairs here”!

Who are you bringing to the unveiling ceremony?

Obviously my family will be there and lots of old friends from Fleetwood. I think Michael [Ball] is coming and joining me on the day, as well. I can’t thank him enough for taking time out and spending the day in my hometown. I’ll show him around and we’ll get a bag of chips on the seafront.

And when the event’s over, you can stack the chairs.

Exactly. Stack the chairs and mop the floor, just like old times.

BBC Music Day is an annual celebration that aims “to unite communities and generations through their love of music”.

More than 200 events will take place this Thursday, including a co-ordinated, country-wide bell-ringing performance at 19:00 BST.

Schoolchildren in Bradford and Portsmouth will attempt to break world records in drumming and Tamboo Bamboo, while the indie band The Courteeners will visit Manchester Royal Infirmary to explore the impact of music therapy on patients.

BBC Radio 3 will broadcast five dramatic monologues by new writers about the power of classical music, performed by actors including Liam Neeson and Julie Hesmondhalgh.

And The Charlatans will play an exclusive concert for BBC Radio Scotland and BBC 6 Music.
