WiECon2019 Blog Series: To Certify or Not Certify? That is the Question.
Should you consider taking eDiscovery Certifications or Not?
Shortly before the Women in eDiscovery inaugural conference last month, I was asked to moderate a panel on certifications. This was a funny coincidence given that a lot of my time has been consumed by updating our VenioOne Certified Admin course over the last year, and I am currently developing a new Technical Admin course for users of our platform. The other thing that was interesting is that I've thought about seeking various certifications throughout the years (Microsoft, learning and development, various network and technology certifications, you name it!), but just never landed on the right certification for me at the right time. Hopefully, this article will help you decide whether to seek a certification or not.
In the session that I moderated, the panelists each maintain different certifications, either in the area of eDiscovery or related areas. Be sure you download the resource we prepared containing details about the various eDiscovery certifications and related others, as well as the process and costs involved. There is a link to it at the bottom of this post.
Emily Bruemmer, Associate, Jenner & Block
Certification: CIPP/US
Cristen Traylor, Counsel, McGuire Woods
Certifications: Various Relativity certifications
Patti Zerwas, Discovery Project Manager, Haynes & Boone
Certification: CEDS
Moderator: Michelle Spencer, Director of Education and Communication, Venio Systems
Types of eDiscovery Certifications
There are three types of certifications applicable for those working in eDiscovery:
General eDiscovery Industry Certifications
Panelist Patti Zerwas, Discovery Project Manager at Haynes & Boone, has the most common eDiscovery industry certification, which is the Certified E-Discovery Specialist (CEDS) offered by the Association of Certified E-Discovery Specialists (ACEDS). At one time, there were a few other eDiscovery certifications, but they have largely gone away. ACEDS is widely recognized in the industry and their certification is a good way to demonstrate broad general knowledge about eDiscovery to potential and current employers.
If you can't afford a certification, one surprise finding in doing research for our session was a free law school level eDiscovery course offered online by Ralph Losey, Partner at Jackson Lewis, based on a class he taught at the University of Florida College of Law. Links to the course and additional information are in the handout linked in the Additional Information section at the bottom of this article.
Related Industry Certifications
There are several certifications in areas that are relied upon heavily in eDiscovery. Those are: cybersecurity, records management, information privacy, data governance, and computer forensics.
Panelist Emily Bruemmer, Associate at Jenner & Block, has the Certified Information Privacy Professional certification or CIPP/US, which is offered by the International Association of Privacy Professionals (IAPP). This certification focuses on privacy laws, regulations and frameworks, and has both US and European versions. IAPP also offers the Certified Information Privacy Manager (CIPM) and Certified Information Privacy Professional Technology (CIPT) certifications, which focus on slightly different content as indicated by their titles.
IAPP has also recently started offering the Privacy Law Specialist specialization for US attorneys through the ABA. This specialization has very stringent requirements. To start, one must first hold the CIPP/US certification and either the CIPM or CIPT certification.
Other related industry certifications covered in the handout linked below are the: Certified Information Professional, Information Governance Professional, Certified Records Manager, and Certified Records Analyst, all of which focus more specifically on records management and information governance.
Each of these area-specific certifications demonstrates a greater depth of knowledge and expertise in a specific niche industry or area related to eDiscovery.
Software-Specific Certifications
Software-specific certifications have been around since the early days of eDiscovery at the turn of the century – back when Summation and Concordance ruled the land. While they may not contain as much general knowledge as an industry certification or go as deep as an area-specific certification, they are a great way to increase your depth of knowledge of a particular eDiscovery software platform or tool, which pays big practical dividends.
Given the fact that most people only use a small portion of the capabilities of most software, these can be very valuable certifications to have for your current role as they literally mean saved time and money in the matters you are handling. The most widely known certifications are those held by panelist Cristen Traylor, Counsel at McGuire Woods, who holds several Relativity certifications.
Other eDiscovery software companies offer similar certifications like our Venio Certified Administrator program. What I hear from our partners who attend is that they gain a much broader knowledge of the entire platform and greater understanding of the processes in those areas in which they may not work on a daily basis. This helps them to see where their day-to-day tasks and role fit in the bigger picture and understand the needs and constraints in other areas.
Some eDiscovery software companies also offer more specific certifications as well (like the Venio Technical Administrator program that I am currently developing). Those types of software certifications have great practical value to an employer in the deeper knowledge they impart but may not have as much broad value to an individual in their career as a more general certification might. The value derived just depends on what your specific needs and goals are.
Why Get an eDiscovery Certification?
The most common reasons an individual would seek certification are:
- Advancing or gaining knowledge and skills for their current role
- Seeking to advance to another role
- Staying current on industry topics and trends
- Gaining or deepening knowledge and skills in a related subject area
Companies might encourage their staff to seek certifications as a way to:
- Increase the level of expertise of their employees
- Demonstrate investment in their employees' professional development
- Save money or reduce the time spent on the eDiscovery projects they handle
- Better serve their clients
Preparation/Time Involved
All of these certifications require a significant investment of time and money. Frequently, an employer will cover the cost of the course and/or test. However, the investment of time rests solely on the individual, unless their employer agrees to allow time spent studying and testing during work hours. If your employer is not willing to pay for your certification, perhaps you might request some time during work hours to study or take the exams.
Nice to Have or Need to Have?
At this point, most certifications are still nice to have versus required by employers. However, they can give you a leg up in finding employment in the eDiscovery industry, because those in the session audience stated that they definitely look to see if someone has a certification as an indication of both the individual's knowledge level and motivation to stay current or increase their knowledge on an ongoing basis.
With traditional college education coming under fire lately for not giving people practical knowledge and skills, there is a lot of talk within talent development circles about credentialing via things like the certifications described above. If things continue to trend in that direction, then certifications could become an even more valuable asset.
What Makes a Good eDiscovery Certification?
When looking at a certification, you should consider and investigate the following items:
- How rigorous is the content and certification exam?
- How is the course content delivered? Is it done well? Will you retain what you learn?
- How well recognized and respected is the certification in the industry?
- Will you gain access to a community and/or additional knowledge sharing?
- How well does the certification align with your career goals?
Benefits/ROI of Certification
Each panelist indicated they were pleased they completed their certifications and would do it again. They also all said that they have used the knowledge gained to bring additional value in their current roles, but that their certifications weren't required by their current employers. For both you and your employer, deciding whether to seek a eDiscovery certification or not is a matter of weighing the time and cost investment against the benefits that you will receive. Hopefully, the information we have shared will help make your decision easier.
Additional eDiscovery Certifications Information
Additionally, we compiled a list of common certifications and basic information about what is involved and their costs. We have also included links to the entities offering the certifications. Please download eDiscovery Certification Options for more information.

Start-up Academy in Zalaegerszeg
Developing International Innovation Acceleration and Supporting Environment for potential young Startuppers
"If you have an innovative idea - just give it a shot", - this is the main message that I got while attending the StartUp Academy 2018/2019 which took place in Zalaegerszeg. Thanks to the informative lectures and interactive workshops, all the participants were able to get an insight into the main aspects of and challenges to developing and promoting the start-up ideas. Particularly interesting was the meeting with the business experts and innovators, who shared their own experience of setting up a start-up business and encouraged us to pursue our ideas. Of course, the issues of fund-raising and the fear of failure are always there, but if you truly believe in your idea, why not to give it a try? After all, as Mark Twain once said: "Twenty years from now you will be more disappointed by the things that you didn't do than by the ones you did do…" - PB
The startup academy is an Erasmus+ project. It was organized on 28.11.2018 (Wednesday) as a trip to Zalaegerszeg. As a member of this academy, I was supposed to come up and introduce my StartUp Business plan that I dream off and exchange it with the other members of Academy, where we have shared different opinions and discussed the advantages and disadvantages of each business plan. Also, there were different interactive programs, debates are surely part of such a projects ex. A startup or an enterprise? An important part of this project was gaining skills in how to promote yourself and how to introduce your startup company. Moreover, there were roundtable discussions with business experts and innovators, exchange of ideas and good practices. Where we could learn how to properly startup business and how to succeed in a particular business. One more advantage of participating in such projects is socizalizing with other people where I could hear many stories , Ideas, opinions.
Also we had a short campus round where we could see how the natural resources could be maximally used, Budapest Business School Campus in Zalaegerszeg is perfectly constructed and sustainable.
To conclude, I am really happy that I was member of this kind of projects where I gained many communication, presentation, organizational skills. – EC
Getting invited to this project sounded like an interesting opportunity in order to meet new people, gain useful information and to discuss things in an international group of students while being surrounded by experts. When we arrived at the university, we were warmly welcomed and got a little bag from BGE with some useful things inside. Unfortunately the whole project was in Hungarian language but they provided us with headphones and we received direct translation from a translator, which worked out pretty well. Apart from presentations, there was also a group work taking part, which lead to great discussions and creative brainstorming with other students. I enjoyed the interactive round table discussion at the end of the project gave us an insight into real life practices of start ups.
In the tour around the campus we learned about many sustainable methods, the university implemented, which was quite impressive to see.
Attending this project showed me once again, that it is not impossible to create an own business if you have the courage and you know how to do it properly. That´s the main thing I´ve learned that day. – AO.
I really liked the concept of introducing young people and students to the 'start-up' world. As I am developing my own start-up right now, I would have been happy to have such an opportunity before structuring a vague idea into an actual concept and project. Unfortunately, this event came a little bit too late for me, yet, it was still very interesting to get additional information and share experiences with other people. The event was very well organised and structured, and it was very nice that there was even translation for the international guests. In my opinion, it would be great if there would be even more people with start-up experience and more time to exchange ideas and get feedback on a more personal level. All in all, I am glad that I took part in this event and would definitely recommend it to other students. - RF
First of all, let me thank you for all your effort. Start-up in Zalaegerszeg was really interesting for us. They organized everything in details, gave wonderful presentations and guests advised most important things which are important for small businesses in Hungary. - GM
The event was a great experience. It was held by knowleble and enspiering people. There were lectures about how a startup works, how to come up with business ideas and EU projects regarding the matter. In addition to the lectures, there were workshops where students worked together on business ideas and the lecturers answered questions. Lastly, since it was a international event we got to meet people from all over the world! - FR.

Watch "Bahrain: An Inconvenient Uprising" – http://bit.ly/11uAes9 Earlier this year, VICE News correspondent Ben Anderson traveled to Bahrain undercover to document the ongoing protests there. Bahrainis — inspired by the Arab Spring — have been taking to the streets every night for almost four years, calling for democracy. One of the people Ben interviewed was Yousif Badah. His son, Ali Badah, was killed while protesting three years ago, when a police SUV repeatedly ran into him, pinning him against a wall. On the third anniversary of his son's death, Yousif and others held a vigil for Ali. That vigil turned into a march, and was similarly met with police violence, this time resulting in injury to Yousif himself.

25 Ridiculous Lessons You Can Learn From E!'s Total Divas
25 Ridiculous Lessons You Can Learn From E!'s Total Divas
E!'s hit reality show Total Divas is currently airing its fourth season, and if you haven't seen it, you should consider jumping in right now. Keeping Up With the Kardashians may be the network's big moneymaker, but Total Divas is just as dramatic and way more entertaining. The show revolves around the ladies of the WWE, otherwise known as the Divas. They fight a lot — in and out of the ring — but there's something so endearing about them. In fact, there's a lot you can learn from Nattie, the Bella twins, Eva Marie, and the whole gang. Don't believe me? Just take a look at the GIFs below.

Summer In October
What an incredible stretch of weather. The last four days have gone 70, 76, 75, and 80 degrees. That is a great stretch, but it is not over. The next four days highs are expected to be 80, 77, 75, and 70. That would bring us to 8 days in a row of 70+. I really, truly hope you enjoy this weekend. Our chance of getting anything this nice for the rest of the year is very slim.
It will be a beautiful weekend to enjoy the fall colors, pick a pumpkin, or pick some local apples. It will be perfect for anything you want to do outside. Here is Saturday's forecast for across the state. This is a forecast you would expect in late August. It will be sunny across the state unless your go to the far northwestern part of the state where there will be passing clouds and maybe an isolated shower.
Sunday will be almost as nice. Plenty of sun and temperatures back into the 70s.
The fall colors are still about a week or two away from peaking around here, but there is still plenty of great color. Here is an example sent to us today on ulocal. When you are out checking out the leaves, please share your pics with us as well.
I was in Sheboygan county yesterday for a little R & R on the golf course and had a chance to watch al the salmon swimming upstream in the Sheboygan river. This really is an amazing sight. Here is a picture I took yesterday.
It's not the greatest picture in the world, but all of those dark spots in the river are huge salmon. Have a wonderful weekend and please enjoy the great weather.
Forgive this post if it is a little disjointed. The Brewers are in extra innings right now.

Stand-in South African captain Dean Elgar said on Thursday he had given a "blunt message" to his players ahead of the third and final Test against Pakistan, starting at the Wanderers Stadium on Friday.
"I spoke to the team yesterday and I told them that any complacency needs to be ironed out," said Elgar, who is standing in for the suspended Faf du Plessis. Elgar said South Africa were determined to complete a 3-0 clean sweep against the tourists.
There is a personal reason for Elgar to get a win as captain. His only previous international captaincy was in the first Test against England at Lord's in 2017 when Du Plessis flew home to be at the birth of his first child.
South Africa were beaten in that match and Elgar admitted that he found the experience "chaotic".
"It was the start of a very big series with all the hype and media commitments, so I wasn't really able to enjoy it," he said.
"This time we've got the series in the bag and although it's still a massive goal to win 3-0 there is a little less stress. I'm hoping to enjoy this experience."
Pakistan batsman Azhar Ali said that although his team were disappointed to have lost the series, they hoped to bring their "A game" to the Wanderers.
"Every Test match you play outside (the UAE) is important for us. Hopefully we can win this Test match and it will be very good for us, especially with the one-dayers coming up."
Pakistan play a series of five one-day internationals after the Tests.

I need some cheap, easy, alternatives to mini-blinds for my home. Something that doesn't require sewing or much skill, or much money.

Quickest and cheapest might be to buy inexpensive tension rods and cheap twin size bed-sheets; slip the sheets over the rods and then set the rods inside the window framing.
Easy-peasy, bunch to the side to 'open' the curtains, and simply toss in the wash once or twice a month to remove dust.
LOL, I hate mini-blinds and wish I could talk my husband into letting me do the above to every window in the house!
DH and I just bought a 1950s rancher and we bought pull down shades at Home depot. They are not expensive and are coming back into style.
I bought roll-up matchstick blinds at Big Lots for less than $5 per window. I like the look and texture they add to the room. However, I find plastic mini blinds to be about the cheapest way to cover your windows. They are around the same price.

I live in an apartment and would like to replace the mini blinds on the back door. Would it be hard to put up something like sheers with a tension rod? Or do you have any other ideas?
By Onesummer
I would think the object of having any covering on windows of any type is for privacy. Sheers don't offer much in the line of privacy.
I have a door with a window in it, and put a roll up type blind, I purchased at home depot. It is very nice, easy to use, and you have complete privacy if you want, or a nice view.
What is wrong with the mini blinds? Is it that they get so dirty and move around too much when you open and shut the door? You can buy some that are encased in glass for certain door windows. They give privacy when closed, you can tilt the blinds open to any angle wanted, or put them all the way up for a full view.
We got ours at Lowes. They are more expensive, but your landlord may pay for it if they would fit your door. Is there enough room to put a tension rod? Most doors don't have enough of a frame around the window to hold a tension rod. If the door isn't wood, you may not want or be allowed to make screw holes in it to hang another type of window treatment.
A magnetic rod would work on a metal door and would be strong enough to hold most fabric treatments. If you decide on sheers, I'd get two rods, one for the top and one for the bottom (casement rods). Have you considered putting up a window film. They now come in patterns, colors, or opaques that allow light through and give privacy. They are relatively cheap and can be taken off when you move.
Whatever you decide be sure to get it in writing from your landlord that it's okay to do. Where I live it's not allowed to remove the blinds but I was allowed to put up my own valances and/or curtains as long as the backing (the side that shows to outdoor viewers) was plain white or cream.


text: This lovely Rimmel polish in 613 Midnight Rendezvous, only needs one coat for a beautiful opaque finish. I complemented the purple with a complete white using essie Blanc, which is not the best white you can get, it needed 2-3 coats to look opaque. I will make a post of that soon, I am collecting a few whites. I really liked the contrast, what do you think?

Getting a franchise to survive is a challenge. Managing a franchise so that it not only survives but thrives is a feat on its own. Growing a business is difficult even for the most experienced of restaurateurs, so here are 5 tips that can help your franchise thrive
Build A Home Base
While your end goal might be to have your franchise spread throughout the entire country, it isn't a good idea to make that leap without already having a strong base built up. Stick to the markets you know and expand locally before taking costly risks.
Create A Strong Infrastructure
A single franchise doesn't only represent his/her business, but also the brand name as a whole. A strong infrastructure would provide all franchisees with an effective training program, successful marketing techniques, suppliers that provide discounts, facility evaluations, and growth plans. These building blocks can help ensure that any new franchisee has a path to success that fits with your brand's values and established rules.
Offer Unique Services to Franchisees
If you want your franchise to succeed, you need to attract smart people who are interested in being involved with your brand. If your franchise doesn't offer anything unique to help attract intelligent individuals, why would they join your brand? It doesn't matter whether you are offering mentoring programs, financial aid, or access to equipment and suppliers, you just need to make sure your sales pitch is strong enough to get the best candidates on board.
Utilize Modern Technology
Customers favor convenience, which is exactly what modern technology offers. Solutions like Koomi help franchises by improving the customer experience and make managing a business easier. Letting your franchise fall behind in technology almost guarantees that you will lose out on your market share.
Encourage Multi-unit Ownership
Multi-unit ownership is beneficial to all parties involved. The brand receives the benefit of growth without additional training and the owner receives the benefit of making more money. If a business owner is successful in running one unit, there is a good chance they'll be successful in running two, especially since they now have more experience.

A trick title! Now that I have my own (separate from my business pursuits, etc.) blogging site, I can delve more into my various interests and opinion – and HISTORY has always been my favorite subject!
I've been accused, over the years, of being "political". This always seems to scare some folks as they would like to imagine that others should not be able to share their opinions and world views – especially those with which they don't agree! Yet the same detractors often spend a big part of their lives writing and gossiping about THEIR own political, religious and historical outlooks.
I guess we could label that the "political conundrum".
Of course, these days anyone who is fairly well informed in matters of history, the wider world and human nature is automatically labeled a "liberal", "libtard" or whichever other label their masters (usually right wing echo chambers) have used. Many of these prolific commenters (99% without their real names) spend hours each week doing nothing but rebutting each and every piece of common sense or history posted on the internet. It's gotten so bad that many major media sites have stopped accepting comments and others have made certain their commenters are identifiable. An early internet forum – The Well – came to the conclusion that people act better when "they own their own words"…..I agree. It doesn't solve every problem of human interaction, but it certainly will taper down the rhetoric.
So, let's get back to the History and Opinions and whether knowledge automatically makes one a "libtard". We know, from a Pew poll, that only 6% of Scientists self-ID as being "republican" in terms of party affiliation. Certainly that is one indication that knowledge makes you retarded (grin). Also, we know that the far right in this country spends vast amounts of time beating up on so-called "academia" – the higher your education level, the more they think you have no idea what is going on in this world.
Highly educated populations, such as those in the "libtard" areas like Boston, the Bay Area, etc…..are also considered to wrong when it comes to political/historical matters. This despite the fact that the spark of our country was struck right in that Liberal Bastion of Massachusetts and in many ways (universal health insurance, social services, fire protection, marriage equality) continues to this very day.
But, historically speaking, none of this is new. The USA has a history of "know nothings" which extends back hundreds of years and I suppose other countries and cultures have gone through similar purges. It's especially ironic today, when the so-called "know-nothings" (racists, anti-education folks, anti-immigrant, etc.) use science and technology is EVERY aspect of their lives – science and medicine, luckily for them, developed by folks who know more than they do!
But the purpose of this screed is not to dump on idiots. That's being done enough all over the internet. It's more to give an insight into why I think my own opinions and worldview are NOT political, but instead historical (based on history).
I became an avid reader of history when I was 10 years old – my first source being the World Book Encyclopedia, 1955 edition. I read the whole thing through, fascinated with geography, history and the other subjects in there. My parents used to show me off to company asking "Craig, what is the population of Iowa?" and other such questions – I always knew the answer.
Of course, War is a BIG part of history – especially American history – so I developed a great interest in the Civil War and read many many books on the subject. In the 50 years since I developed my obsession with history, I've read many hundreds of books on everything from the founders to african-american history (currently reading up more on this). Over the decades I've added my own experiences to the mix – watching history as it was made right before my eyes.
It would be very wrong for me to take in all these inputs and not develop some clear opinions on the longer curve of history. For example, I think that the institution of slavery was perhaps the worse stain on America in our 230 year history – MUCH worse than it's made out to be. The "know nothings", who probably either never read or understood the deeper situation, would call my views extreme, liberal or some other of their choice words. Many white folks born and raised in slave states or with racist parents have convinced themselves that the South (and the northern and european and other financiers and benefactors) was fighting for "states rights", maybe not knowing (or knowing yet not caring) that the same exact slogan was used as a buzzword to protect the legality of human bondage, murder, rape and other crimes.
That's just one example, although a fairly large one since much of todays' far-right champions the "states rights" ideals. They use the same phrase to claim why corporal punishment in schools, changing of the history books and other such things are within their rights. That is, they don't have to teach reality, but rather their reality.
I love a good debate. But I am wont to engage in any with the know-nothings since I am basing at least some of my opinions on actual history. Their willingness to thrown any form of knowledge out the window as they mimic the phrases taught to them by the billionaire financiers of the right…..just aren't worth the effort.
So, in summary, I really don't have many political opinions. What I do have is some historical ones.

You are currently browsing the tag archive for the 'London Philharmonic Orchestra' tag.
As Phillip Huscher includes in his program note, "Shostakovich composed most of his seventh symphony in Leningrad, his birthplace, during the siege of the city that ultimately took nearly a million lives—roughly one-third of its inhabitants—as a result of hunger, cold, and air raids."
Less than a year later at the height of one of the worst periods of World War II, the symphony was given its world premiere in Kuibyshev (now Samara) on March 5, 1942, with Samuil Samosud conducting the Bolshoi Theatre Orchestra. Later that month on March 29, it was performed in Moscow with members of the Bolshoi orchestra and the All-Union Radio Orchestra. The now legendary premiere in Leningrad took place on August 9 under the baton of Karl Eliasberg.
In the United Kingdom, Sir Henry Wood led the London Philharmonic Orchestra in a broadcast performance on June 22 followed by a concert performance at the Royal Albert Hall on June 29. The United States broadcast premiere was given on July 19 in New York, with Arturo Toscanini leading the NBC Symphony Orchestra (the now-famous Time magazine cover story anticipated the broadcast). Serge Koussevitzky conducted the student orchestra of the Berkshire Music Centre in the first U.S. concert performance on August 14.
And on August 22, 1942, less than six months after the world premiere, Frederick Stock led the Chicago Symphony Orchestra in Shostakovich's Leningrad Symphony—"which has aroused more interest than any other symphonic work in decades"—in a special concert for the benefit of Russian war relief at the Ravinia Festival. A complete copy of the program book is here.
According to Edward Barry's account in the Chicago Tribune, "All that we had heard in advance about the new work, even in the broadcast of July 19, failed to prepare us adequately for the full impact of it. Its scale is huge, and this does refer to its length (over an hour and a quarter) alone. It calls for a mammoth orchestra (99 players crowded the Ravinia stage last night). . . . These huge forces Shostakovich deploys with a boldness and a vigor and a boiling passion that are often electrifying. . . . To our generation the symphony's faults are comparatively unimportant because of the smoking passion with which it treats of the events which are so strongly affecting our lives and enlisting our emotions. 'My music is a weapon,' says Shostakovich boldly, thus confounding those who would criticize the work because of a too close connection with immediate political and military events."
Barry concludes, "Last night's performance was an extraordinarily fine one, especially when one realizes that Dr. Stock had to master the bewildering score on short notice and communicate his findings to the orchestra in two rehearsals [for the New York premiere, Toscanini had six rehearsals]." The complete review is here.
Stock was determined to perform the work again—and soon—so he added it to the programming for the upcoming season at Orchestra Hall on October 27, 29, and 30. According to Cecil Smith, "No symphony in modern times—and perhaps no symphony in musical history—has ever been prepared for by such a barrage of publicity."
Frederick Stock and the Chicago Symphony Orchestra opened the fifty-second season with subscription concerts on October 15 and 16 and a Popular concert on October 17, 1942. On Monday October 19 it was business as usual and Stock was in Orchestra Hall's offices, "talking over plans for the season with Henry E. Voegeli, business manager of the orchestra and his coworker for forty-three seasons." But tragically, Stock died of a heart attack the following day and, according to Claudia Cassidy, "The bottom dropped out of Chicago's music life . . ."
Associate conductor Hans Lange immediately assumed conducting duties, leading the majority of concerts for the remainder of the 1942-43 season, including the three performances of Shostakovich's Seventh in Chicago and one in Milwaukee. The program was as follows (and the program note for the Leningrad Symphony is here):
October 27, 29 & 30, 1942 (Orchestra Hall)
November 15, 1942 (Pabst Theatre, Milwaukee)
SMITH/Stock The Star-Spangled Banner
BRAHMS Tragic Overture, Op. 81
SHOSTAKOVICH Symphony No. 7
(On October 27, Stock's orchestration for strings of the Andante from Bach's Sonata for Violin no. 2 in A minor, BWV 1003 was performed in memory of the Orchestra's second music director, following The Star-Spangled Banner, also in his arrangement.)
After the October 27 concert, Cassidy wrote, "That Hans Lange and the Chicago Symphony Orchestra gave a calm and competent performance of Shostakovich's Seventh Symphony at Orchestra Hall yesterday is undeniably, almost immeasurably, to their credit. Mr. Lange had less than a week—and a tragic week—to prepare the huge and sprawling score. . . . What counts in the score, and what should count in performance, is its blazing expression of the sound and fury of our own times, when invasion, death, defiance, and ultimate triumph are facts we understand and, a least vicariously, share." The complete review is here.
And following the performance on October 29, Smith commented, "Dmitri Shostakovich's Seventh Symphony, perhaps the most successful musical best seller since Ravel's Boléro, was repeated in magnificent style last evening. . . . [the composer] is very good at beginning musical ideas, extremely clumsy at continuing them, and virtually unable to stop them."
Smith ended his review with, "Well, the symphony goes on the shelf for a while, after this afternoon's repetition and a performance in Milwaukee on Nov. 15. I wonder what it will sound like after the war?"
In a recent, beautifully crafted article in The Guardian, Ed Vulliamy wrote, "Solti's shattering Mahler Ninth at the Royal Festival Hall with the Chicago orchestra in 1981 left anyone who heard it dazed with wonderment."
Sir Georg Solti first led the Chicago Symphony Orchestra in Mahler's Ninth Symphony on subscription concerts at Orchestra Hall in April 1981 and then later that year during a European tour, culminating on September 19, 1981, with that performance at the Royal Festival Hall in London. He and the Orchestra next performed it on a musicians' pension fund concert on April 28, 1982, and recorded it the following week in Orchestra Hall.
Richard Osborne's review in Gramophone magazine, disagreeing somewhat with Vulliamy, noted: "When Solti conducted Mahler's Ninth Symphony in London in the autumn of 1981 the critic of The Financial Times observed: 'Solti obviously knew how this music should go but not why.' Such a reading would be an evident act of self-parody, for it is to this very theme—the modern world's nightmarish preoccupation with sensation, spiralling, self-referring and impossible to assuage—that Mahler so fearlessly addresses himself in the symphony's third movement, the Rondo Burleske. It's clear, though, from the present recording, made in Orchestra Hall, Chicago in May 1982, that Solti's sense of the music is a good deal more rooted than it appeared to be amid the unsettling razzmatazz of an end-of-tour London performance.
"The new performance has a measure of repose about it as well as much splendour. The second movement is robust and resilient as Mahler directs. There is defiance and obstinacy in the third movement, an awful power which illuminates the music rather than the orchestra's known expertise." (Osborne's review goes on to favor Herbert von Karajan's 1980 recording with the Berlin Philharmonic (on Deutsche Grammophon), perhaps because he was already working on his excellent biography of the conductor.)
James Mallinson produced the recording, and James Lock was the engineer for London Records. The recording won the 1983 Grammy Awards for Best Orchestral Recording, Best Engineered Recording—Classical, and Best Classical Album from the National Academy of Recording Arts and Sciences.
Solti and the Chicago Symphony Orchestra and Chorus dominated that year at the Grammy Awards, also winning for Best Choral Performance (other than opera) for Haydn's The Creation. Solti also won for Best Opera Recording for Mozart's Le nozze di Figaro with the London Philharmonic Orchestra.
In addition to his twenty-two-year tenure as music director of the Chicago Symphony Orchestra (1969-1991), Sir Georg Solti held a number of notable posts with other orchestras and opera companies.
His first official post was with the Bavarian State Opera in Munich, where he served as music director from 1946 until 1952. Subsequently, he was also Generalmusikdirektor and Impresario for the Frankfurt Opera from 1952 until 1961.
Shortly after his guest conducting debut with the Los Angeles Philharmonic in 1959, he was invited by Dorothy Chandler—then the chairman of the Philharmonic's board—to become their music director beginning the following year. He accepted.
Also in 1959, following the tremendous success in a production of Strauss's Der Rosenkavalier at the Royal Opera, Covent Garden, he was invited to become music director by their chairman, the Earl of Drogheda.
In Solti's words: "To his great surprise, I explained to him that although I was honored by the offer, I did not want the job, and that my refusal had nothing to do with the salary. I had accepted the directorship of the Los Angeles Philharmonic because I felt that I had spent enough time as an opera conductor and wanted to concentrate on symphonic music, and privately, I was not certain that I would be able to do justice to both Los Angeles and London if I accepted both jobs."
While in Los Angeles for concerts in January 1960, Solti met with Bruno Walter who insisted he take the offer from Covent Garden. Solti took Walter's advice and telegrammed his acceptance to David Webster (general manager of the Royal Opera House). They agreed that his residence would start in the fall of 1961, one year after the beginning of his tenure in Los Angeles.
At the same time, twenty-three-year-old Zubin Mehta had been invited to be an assistant conductor in Los Angeles. For the 1961-62 season, Fritz Reiner had been engaged to guest conduct the Philharmonic, but after his heart attack in October 1960, he canceled all engagements. According to Solti: "Without consulting me, Mrs. Chandler decided that Reiner's concerts should be given to Mehta. In June 1960, while I was in London on Covent Garden business, I received a telegram from Mrs. Chandler, saying, 'With your kind permission I have engaged Zubin Mehta as chief guest conductor of the Philharmonic.' I was horrified. I had nothing at all against Mehta, who was an outstandingly talented young conductor, but the fact that the chairman of my new orchestra's board had engaged a chief guest conductor without asking my opinion was intolerable. . . . I cabled back to say that under these conditions, I was unable to honor my contract in Los Angeles."
Solti went on to serve as music director at the Royal Opera House, Covent Garden from 1961 until 1971. He also served as music director of the Dallas Symphony Orchestra for the 1961-62 season.
During Solti's one season in Dallas, he was approached by two members of the CSO's Orchestral Association, Eric Oldberg (chairman of the board) and Seymour Raven (general manager). Fritz Reiner had announced his retirement at the conclusion of the 1962-63 season and they were searching for a possible replacement. Solti was concerned about not being able to honor his commitment to Covent Garden and wasn't able to accept an offer.
In 1967, new general manager John Edwards, "came to tell me that Jean Martinon, Reiner's successor, would be leaving the orchestra the following year and to ask whether I would be willing to become music director. I was certainly willing, but I thought that the job might be too much for me, inasmuch as I was still committed to Covent Garden. I suggested sharing responsibilities with [Carlo Maria] Giulini, who had worked often in Chicago and was much liked there." After some negotiation, it was agreed that Solti would be music director and Giulini would become the CSO's first principal guest conductor beginning in the fall of 1969.
Solti also served as music director of the Orchestre de Paris from 1972 until 1975 and as principal conductor of the London Philharmonic Orchestra from 1979 until 1983.
Finally, Sir Georg Solti founded the World Orchestra for Peace in 1995 to commemorate the fiftieth anniversary of the United Nations. He only conducted the orchestra's inaugural concert on July 5, 1995, in Geneva, Switzerland. According to Sir Georg, "I was delighted to be involved in this event, as the UN is an organization in which I firmly believe, although I wish it could have more power and be allowed to function more effectively. Fittingly, the orchestra's seventy-nine outstanding musicians came from forty-five orchestras in twenty-four countries. We played Rossini's William Tell Overture as a tribute to Switzerland, our host country; Bartók's Concerto for Orchestra, to commemorate the fiftieth anniversary of the composer's death; and the final scene from [Beethoven's] Fidelio, for its theme of liberation."
Text excerpted from Memoirs by Sir Georg Solti.
Sir Georg Solti won thirty-one Grammy Awards from the National Academy of Recording Arts and Sciences—more than any other recording artist. Twenty-four of those awards were with the Chicago Symphony Orchestra and Chorus. In addition, Solti and producer John Culshaw received the first NARAS Trustees' Award in 1967 for their "efforts, ingenuity, and artistic contributions" in connection with the first complete recording of Wagner's Der Ring des Nibelungen with the Vienna Philharmonic. Sir Georg also received the Academy's 1995 Lifetime Achievement Award.
Alison Krauss and Quincy Jones tie for the number two slot with twenty-seven awards each, and Pierre Boulez—CSO conductor emeritus and former principal guest conductor—is number three, with twenty-six Grammy Awards, including eight with the Chicago Symphony Orchestra and Chorus.

*A database of former Grammy Award winners can be found here; category titles have changed over the years. For opera recordings, only principal soloists are listed.
Sir Georg Solti introduced soprano Kiri Te Kanawa to Chicago audiences in May 1978, in Brahms's Ein deutsches Requiem. Her program biography from those debut performances is here.
The reviews only briefly mentioned the vocal soloists. In the Chicago Tribune: "Miss Te Kanawa and [Bernd] Weikl, both making subscription-series debuts, were a beautifully matched pair of young, fresh-voiced soloists. She seemed a mite cautious at the outset of her solo, but her message of consolation had a billowing purity of sound that was irresistible." And in the Chicago Sun-Times: "Two soloists are required and both were known to us by reputation, but it was splendid to have singers of the standard of soprano Kiri Te Kanawa and baritone Bernd Weikl on stage to sustain the consistency of achievement in this performance at the highest level." The complete reviews are here and here.
In addition to the performances at Orchestra Hall, Brahms's Requiem was also performed at Carnegie Hall on May 12, 1978.
Te Kanawa also appeared with Solti at Orchestra Hall in Duparc's Mélodies françaises and Mahler's Fourth Symphony on March 23, 24, 25, and 26, 1983; in Bach's Saint Matthew Passion on March 19 and 21, 1987; in excerpts from Verdi's Otello (with Plácido Domingo) on a special concert celebrating Solti's seventy-fifth birthday on October 9, 1987; and in complete performances of Otello in 1991 at Orchestra Hall (April 8 and 12) and Carnegie Hall (April 16 and 19).
Solti and Te Kanawa made a number of recordings together. With the Chicago Symphony Orchestra, they collaborated on Brahms's Ein deutsches Requiem in 1978, Mahler's Fourth Symphony in 1983, Handel's Messiah in 1984, Bach's Saint Mathew Passion in 1987, and Verdi's Otello in 1991.
Te Kanawa also recorded under Solti's baton in Bizet's Carmen in 1975 with the London Philharmonic Orchestra and the National Philharmonic Orchestra, Mozart's Le nozze di Figaro in 1981 with the London Philharmonic Orchestra, Puccini's Tosca in 1984 with the National Philharmonic Orchestra, and in Verdi's Simon Boccanegra in 1988 with The Royal Opera (for video). (All recordings were released by London Records.)
In 1990, Solti and Te Kanawa collaborated on a special video project, entitled The Maestro and the Diva, directed by Humphrey Burton. The program candidly showed the two of them in rehearsal (in Solti's home studio in London) and performance of Richard Strauss's Four Last Songs with the Vienna Philharmonic. An audio recording was also released and also included several more Strauss songs with Solti at the piano.
Several additional excerpts from the program are also available here.
The attached YouTube video is not the property of the Chicago Symphony Orchestra Association. We just thought it was interesting.
Even though she debuted with the Chicago Symphony Orchestra at the Ravinia Festival in August 1972 (in Sibelius's Violin Concerto with Hans Schmidt-Isserstedt conducting), Korean violinist Kyung-Wha Chung was introduced to downtown Chicago audiences in January 1974 by Sir Georg Solti, performing Mendelssohn's Violin Concerto. Her program book biography is here.
From the Chicago Tribune: "Few soloists of any age can match Georg Solti in drive and energy output, but last night it took only a measure or two of the Mendelssohn Violin Concerto to certify Kyung-Wha Chung as one of them. The comely Korean violinist still in her mid-twenties, took those familiar old melodies and made them sing as if their life depended on it—as indeed it does. There are more accurate players in the thinning ranks of true virtuoso performers, but only a handful with her ability to sustain listener interest and communicate the feeling behind the notes. . . . Miss Chung takes fullest advantage of her instrument's ability to breathe life into a sustained tone and has an actress' sense of phrase and pacing. . . . It has been years since I attended a performance of this work which seemed too short. She left me wishing for more." The complete reviews are here, here, and here.
With Solti and the CSO at Orchestra Hall, Chung again appeared in Mendelssohn's Violin Concerto on October 23, 24, 26, and 27, 1979; in Berg's Violin Concerto and Bartók's First Violin Concerto on October 13, 14, and 15, 1983; and Bartók's Second Violin Concerto on October 5, 6, and 7, 1995. Out of town, she performed with Solti and the Orchestra in Mendelssohn's Violin Concerto on January 21, 1974, in Milwaukee.
Chung recorded with Solti on several occasions. With the Chicago Symphony Orchestra, in 1979 she recorded Mendelssohn's Violin Concerto for video, and in 1983 she recorded Bartók's First Violin Concerto and Berg's Violin Concerto. With the London Philharmonic Orchestra, in 1976 she recorded Bartók's Second Violin Concerto and in 1977 she recorded the Elgar Violin Concerto. All recordings were released by London Records.
The May 2012 issue of Gramophone magazine includes the first installment of their Hall of Fame, and Sir Georg Solti is included on the list.
The print edition of the magazine includes a tribute written by pianist Jean-Efflam Bavouzet: "The more I grow in my life as [a] musician, the more the example of Sir Georg shines in my private pantheon. With his always-ongoing energy, insatiable curiosity, and desire to meet and help the younger generation, he showed us how a career should be built progressively and organically in order to achieve one's own artistic goal. I feel extremely fortunate to have had the chance to meet Sir Georg in the last three years of his life when he was extremely generous to share with me his extremely precise and powerful musical ideas. He also gave me the best advice: 'Never give up, keep working, there is always room at the top.'"
Online, Gramophone also includes a link to an article from 1981, written by Edward Greenfield. The article describes some of the recording sessions for Solti's 1981 recording of Mozart's Le nozze di Figaro for London. A dream cast had been assembled:
Count Almaviva Thomas Allen, baritone
Countess Almaviva Kiri Te Kanawa, soprano
Susanna Lucia Popp, soprano
Figaro Samuel Ramey, bass
Cherubino Frederica von Stade, mezzo-soprano
Marcellina Jane Berbié, mezzo-soprano
Doctor Bartolo Kurt Moll, bass
Don Basilio Robert Tear, tenor
Don Curzio Philip Langridge, tenor
Barbarina Yvonne Kenny, soprano
Antonio Giorgio Tadeo, bass
Jeffrey Tate, continuo
London Philharmonic Orchestra
London Opera Chorus
The recording won the 1983 Grammy Award for Best Opera Recording from the National Academy of Recording Arts and Sciences.
Three other notable conductors affiliated with the Chicago Symphony Orchestra also made Gramophone's list: Pierre Boulez (principal guest conductor 1995-2006, conductor emeritus 2006- ), Daniel Barenboim (music director 1991-2006), and Claudio Abbado (principal guest conductor 1982-1985).

In the current era, solar energy is a major renewable energy source with the potential to face any potential consequences of the globe. Photovoltaic and solar-thermal panels produce open energy by transferring beams of light from the sun into energy and power. In a nutshell, converting the sun's heat to electricity.
Since solar panels offer numerous benefits like reducing energy bills, diverse applications and low maintenance cost many consumers are oriented towards this new technology yet we need to consider a few things and have to be aware of certain things before solar panel installation.
Things to know before solar panel installation
Gone were those days when solar panel installation was an expensive affair and was an out of reach technique for most consumers. However, as years progressed and technology advanced, the cost of solar panel installation has reduced and the number of installations increased. However, there are few things that have to be taken into consideration before hiring services who have the highest level of excellence in solar technology training.
- Having the right weather is essential – Weather plays a crucial role and can immensely impact solar panels. Most solar panels are built to handle a wide range of climates and conditions, including heavy rain, hail, wind, heat and cold. However, to get the most energy efficiency, the panels should get a lot of sunlight.
- Will our roof support solar panels– Some roofs are better for solar panels than others, however, when we don't want our roof to get damaged, then installing the solar panel from a licensed solar system training professionals is highly encouraged. The most preferred roof types are composite and tile yet torch down, wood shake and even foam can be a choice.
- Which kind of solar panel can be right for us– If we are installing solar panels for residential purposes then monocrystalline and polycrystalline are more popular choices. These panels have the potential to convert sunlight into electricity and thermal. However, we need to evaluate the panels properly and determine their efficiency before buying one.
- Will our panels connect to the grid– Basically, the invertors are connected to the panel to convert DC energy to AC energy. We can expect varying amounts of efficiency based on the place we live in. Also, we need to ensure whether the electricity providers can connect us to the grid and how much we need to pay for their services.
Because of the increasing popularity of this phenomenon, solar jobs have risen rapidly in the last decade. Solar panel training has become the required skilled workforce and is increasing in demand. There is a countless number of funding programs which deals everything about the solar energy technologies that increase the number of veterans in the solar workforce. People who participate in these kinds of training can take advantage of solar career map to explore additional opportunities for their progress and promotion.

In rare cases, root canal therapy fails to work as expected. The treated tooth might not heal properly or a patient might experience post-surgical complications that jeopardize the tooth. Root canal retreatment involves the removal of the previous crown and packing material, the cleansing of the root canals, and the re-packing and re-crowning of the tooth. In short, root canal retreatment is almost identical to the original procedure, aside from the structural removal. The success rate for a root canal retreatment runs at around 75%.
Root canal treatments and retreatments are a better alternative than extraction for most individuals. If a tooth has good bone support, a solid surface and healthy gums beneath it, it stands a good chance of being saved. Opting for root canal retreatment can be far less expensive than the alternatives. Dental implants, extensive bridgework and the creation of aesthetically pleasing prosthetic teeth cost far more than working with the natural tooth. They also require maintenance and feel less natural than a "real" tooth.
Why is root canal retreatment required?
Though the prospect of more endodontic surgery might not be pleasant, root canal retreatment is fairly simple. In general, the whole treatment can be completed in 1-3 visits.
There are a number of reasons why root canal therapy unexpectedly fails, including:
What does root canal retreatment involve?
On the day of the retreatment procedure a local anesthetic will be administered, unless another type of anesthetic has been selected. The affected tooth is isolated with a rubber dam. The dam protects the tooth during treatment from bacteria and saliva. The amount the dentist can do within a single appointment will much depend on the amount of inflammation present, and the complexity of the treatment.
The first step in a root canal retreatment is to gain access to the inner tooth. If a crown and post have been placed, these will be removed.
Next, filling material and obstructions that block the root canals will be removed. This removal is conducted using an ultrasonic handpiece. The advantage of using this tool is that any unwanted material is vibrated loose. Tiny instruments will then be used to clean and reshape the root canals. X-rays may be taken to ensure that the roots are thoroughly clean. If this part of the treatment proves to be complex, medicated packing material will be applied, and the rest of the cleansing procedure will be done at the next visit.
When the dentist is confident that the root canals are completely clean, gutta-percha is used to pack the space. This rubbery material seals the canals to prevent bacterial invasion. Finally, a temporary crown or filling is applied to tooth. At a later date, the color-matched permanent crown will be placed.
If you have any questions or concerns about root canal retreatment, please ask your dentist.
I am so excited today as I have had my first Laser Snoring Treatment (Fontana Light Walker NIGHTLASE). I will not lie, I DO snore (which keeps me from going (overnight with friends), and according to Bob, I snore LOUD and A LOT! Dr. Hansen of Hansen Dental Treatment Center in Pasco, WA is Educated and Certified in the field of Laser treatment for a variety of ailments. He has the very latest in laser equipment here in the Tri-Cities, WA. Within 3 months and 3 treatments I should have my snoring arrested! Did the laser treatment ?hurt?? Only mild discomfort but the treatment is so quick and non-invasive. How long was the treatment? 15-30 minutes. If this works, I will sing Dr. Hansen?s praises! You can click on this link if you have any interest in what I am talking about: https://www.youtube.com/watch?time_continue=3&v=bH_jAoMJYgY
So?while I was at Dr. Hansen?s office, I was also able to experience my first treatment to tighten my facial skin, i.e.: bags under eyes, wrinkles from my eyes, above my lips, general tightening of the facial skin to improve my overall aging and improve my collagen production (age 66 years YOUNG). The laser treatment forces collagen to begin reproduction within the epidermal layers of my skin. I honestly can say, that after my first treatment, I noticed a difference in my overall skin tightness and am excited to get my 2nd of 3rd treatments. I have had collagen treatments and Botox in the past. THAT was the ?past?. I am definitely vying for a non-invasive and no down-time via the laser technology available today at a MUCH the reduced cost!
What I love is the virtually pain free, and non-invasive procedures done with the laser treatments.
This is not the main reason for the laser equipment in Dr. Hansen?s office. He is a dentist and the laser equipment he has performs an abundance of dental procedures?catapulting us into the advanced age of less painful, if not, painless dentistry!
I wholeheartedly recommend Dr. Hansen when you consider your next need for dental or aesthetics,(i.e. skin scaring from acne, a face lift without the downtime, and the list goes on and on) without the excessive expense of traditional treatments.
Please give Dr. Hansen?s office a call and talk to his friendly staff regarding your needs today!

I actually look forward to my visits to Hansen Family Dental. Dr. James Hansen and his staff have taken care of my dental needs for over five years and everyone has always greeted me with smiles and worked together as a happy and cohesive team, showing each other courtesy and respect while treating me like family. So, the word "Family" in the name of their business takes on real meaning.
As a woman in her late 70s, my dental problems are not without challenges but Dr. Hansen and his staff have worked together to find the best solutions for me. Whether the procedure is a simple cleaning, filling or a root canal, my comfort is important to each one of them and I never feel tense or nervous. Their smiles are sincere and make me relax. In addition, their willingness to work out an affordable payment plan that works for me and enables me to get the care I need without undue hardship is greatly appreciated.
As a child my wisdom teeth grew horizontally, pushing my other teeth forward. My wisdom teeth were removed when I was about 27 years old but over the years the bottom teeth drifted forward and caused so much crowding that it became almost impossible to floss. I could see that my gums were being affected and felt sorry for any hygienist that had to clean my teeth. I realize that healthy teeth and gums play an important part in my overall health so after asking about solutions to my problem, invisalign (virtually invisible alternative to braces) was suggested as a possibility.
I hesitated because of my age, but realized that with people living longer these days, I could live another 20 years. So, the office staff helped me work out a payment plan that would work so that I could actually have my teeth straightened, something I had wanted to do for many years but didn't think would be possible. It is exciting to see that, after just a few weeks, my teeth are already moving. Within a few months I won't be biting the inside of my bottom lip anymore, will be able to floss and clean between all of my teeth, won't have to feel sorry for the hygienist, won't have the threat of gum disease, and I'm sure I'll feel better about my smile.
Thank you Dr. Hansen and each member of your staff for making it so pleasant to take care of my teeth! In addition, I thank you and your staff for your service and giving back to your community through your volunteering and distributing of toothbrushes, toothpaste, and dental floss to over a thousand low-income families each year that have sought help at the St. Vincent de Paul Food Bank in Pasco. You set a great example of caring about your neighbors in need. You are a dentist I can highly recommend as I know your staff reflects your values!
