There are several important projects that contributed to the Ragtime revival of the 1970s, several of which will be outlined here. However, the most impactful Ragtime revival occurred in the 1970s, the events of this time truly securing the art form’s place in the United States culture. 1950 was also the year in which scholars Rudi Blesh and Harriet Janis published their seminal history book entitled They All Played Ragtime. (I intend for this to be the topic of a future blog post.) There was a brief revival of Ragtime in the 1950s, but much of the music was highly commercialized and played on out-of-tune pianos to mimic old-time saloons. ![]() ![]() Its popularity was displaced by Jazz, though the nature of this transition is disputed (Schuller, Early Jazz, p. Ragtime is often considered the first popular music originating from the United States, reigning prominent from the 1890s until the mid-1910s. A delightful recital, all told.This blog post is part of my Ragtime Project, which encompasses an upcoming EP of Ragtime-inspired music, blog posts about the history of the music, and a forthcoming self-published collection of essay about what in this music and its history resonates with me as a performer and composer. Many of the other rags favor leisurely tempos, and Tony Caramia, who teaches at the Eastman School of Music, performs them with the proper gentle pace. The individual composers offer some unique touches, such as a jazzy virtuosity in Robert Frost's piece for the 1984 Olympics, or the dueling key signatures of Minnie-Rag by Sydney Hodgkinson. Most of the rest of the material here is really quite traditional. Some of these later-day ragsters add distinctly late-20th-century touches, including the playful dissonance of Bolcom, and especially, the Phillip Glass-style droning of the Minimalist Rag by Kevin Putz, which is barely recognizable as the same format that Joplin worked in. Joplin was fully aware of the theatrical possibilities of the format, and was not averse to adding a programmatic spin to some of his own pieces. Review: "These "new" rags are generally faithful to the spirit of the golden age of ragtime, as exemplified by Joplin. Various auditory repasts offer composers a choice of forms and influences from such divergent sources as jazz, non-Western music, romanticism, dodecaphony, minimalism, pop and rock, asceticism, cross-over, and spiritualism and all on the same menu! This variety serves both as a high-calorie, vibrant sign of our own creative times, and as a demanding burden placed upon American composers seeking, indeed groping for, their own unique voices: +Red or green peppers? Radish? How much onion? What kind of lettuce? How do I choose my OWN language that will allow me to speak what I need to say?' The works recorded on this disc present the distinct and often unusual offerings of a few leading, contemporary American +workers' in this sonic kitchen." The pianist for this disc, Tony Caramia, is associate professor of piano at the Eastman School of Music, where he is director of piano pedagogy studies and coordinator of the class piano program. The works represented in this Eastman American Music Series of new music recordings bear eloquent testimony to the effect this healthy and diverse musical diet has had on the work of American composers. In striking contrast to this earlier era, today's younger generation of composer benefits from exposure to what has been called a +veritable salad bowl of styles,' marked by an extremely wide range of character, aesthetics and musical cross-currents. Sydney Hodkinson, the producer for this series of Eastman recordings says: "From roughly the late 1930s through the early sixties, most serious American composers worked within one of two basic musical encampments, continuing and expanding upon traditions established by the 20th century giants Schoenberg and Stravinsky. Go Back > Something different for rag fans - new works in the classic traditions! While the music on this recording is not Scott Joplin, it most certainly does capture the flavor of old time rags. ![]()

In its molecular form, carbon tetrachloride consists of a central carbon atom bonded to four chlorine atoms. “The only sources of groundwater in these areas of the country are shallow aquifers, which are much more prone to this kind of contamination,” Alvarado said. In certain areas of high agricultural use, carbon tet leached from the soil into the water table, where large quantities have remained for decades. “It’s a hard case because the bonding within the compound is so strong.”Įven though the federal government banned the use of carbon tetrachloride as a grain fumigant in 1985, a good deal of damage was already done. “Carbon tetrachloride was a real challenge to us because its chemical structure is extremely stable,” said team member and Argonne environmental scientist Jorge Alvarado. ![]() However, scientific studies showed that exposure to carbon tet resulted in liver, kidney, and central nervous system degeneration as well as increased rates of cancer. It worked as a powerful cleaning agent and as a refrigerant, and in the Midwest it was used as a pesticide to protect stored grain. The researchers coated the microparticles with organic material, which served as bait for bacteria that created the conditions necessary to safely convert the toxic chemical into non-hazardous substances.īack in the 1960s, carbon tetrachloride - or “carbon tet,” as it is more commonly known - was widely thought to be a miracle chemical. Last year, a team of Argonne scientists led by Lorraine LaFreniere injected iron microparticles underneath fields long-polluted with carbon tetrachloride near Centralia, Kansas. Department of Energy’s Argonne National Laboratory has demonstrated a way to enlist bacteria in the fight to cleanse some of the country’s most intractably polluted locations.

Most of the silos in the north array were destroyed by the explosion along with the 21-story head-house. The southern gallery wasn’t nearly as damaged as the northern gallery because a dust clean up had recently been completed. As the blast waves passed beneath the northern silos the blast rose through the silos and popped most of the silos tops off due to the intensity of the blast. Once it reached the head-house the blast and fire blew upwards through the head-house and into the southern and northern galleries. The explosion utilized a crossover tunnel allowing it to spread in both directions of the two tunnels in the south array. This initial ignition set of a series of explosion through out the facility begin in the the Eastern tunnel of the south array silos. This is well beyond the 220 degrees Celsius need to ignite layered grain dust. All the friction caused by the moving belt heated the roller to a scorching temperature of 260 degrees Celsius. The non-lubricated bearing seized causing the the roller to lock into place, while the conveyor belt continued to move over the locked roller. The ignition source was a concentrator roller bearing that hadn’t be properly lubricated. The initial explosion, that set off a series of additional explosions, occurred when grain dust ignited in the Eastern tunnel under the South array of silos. How does a major explosion like this occur? The explosion killed 7 people, injured 10, and destroyed a large portion of the DeBruce Grain facility.

For surgical procedures, 1 perform a surgical hand scrub before putting on sterile surgeon’s gloves. Although alcohol-based hand rubs are effective for hand hygiene in health care settings, soap and water should be used when hands are visibly soiled (e.g., dirt, blood, body fluids). Education and training programs should thoroughly address indications and techniques for hand hygiene practices before performing routine and oral surgical procedures.įor routine dental examinations and nonsurgical procedures, use water and plain soap (hand washing) or antimicrobial soap (hand antisepsis) specific for health care settings or use an alcohol-based hand rub. Hand hygiene is the most important measure to prevent the spread of infections among patients and DHCP. To the extent possible, this includes rescheduling non-urgent dental care until the patient is no longer infectious or referral to a dental setting with appropriate infection prevention precautions when urgent dental treatment is needed. Nonetheless, DHCP should develop and carry out systems for early detection and management of potentially infectious patients at initial points of entry to the dental setting. Patients, however, do not usually seek routine dental outpatient care when acutely ill with diseases requiring Transmission-Based Precautions. Dental settings are not typically designed to carry out all of the Transmission-Based Precautions (e.g., Airborne Precautions for patients with suspected tuberculosis, measles, or chickenpox) that are recommended for hospital and other ambulatory care settings. ![]() This second tier of infection prevention is used when patients have diseases that can spread through contact, droplet or airborne routes (e.g., skin contact, sneezing, coughing) and are always used in addition to Standard Precautions. When Standard Precautions alone cannot prevent transmission, they are supplemented with Transmission-Based Precautions. Education and training are critical elements of Standard Precautions, because they help DHCP make appropriate decisions and comply with recommended practices.
