Philip John Van Bruggen passed away at home on January 2 We believe that he is now spared from his chronic pain from fractured vertebrae and other health problems We are grateful for his doctor and the many health care providers and family that contributed to his care and in supporting Bonnie during his long health journey Phil was born February 25 1942 to Dr John and Ruth (Hurt) Van Bruggen in St while his father was finishing a doctorate in biochemistry He graduated from Beaverton High School in 1960 after attending his senior year in Denmark Graduating from the University of Oregon with a BA in psychology and biology in 1964 he then attended graduate school at OHSU for one year and married Yvonne “Bonnie” Otis on June 26 They both then completed graduate school at the University of Iowa where Phil earned a Ph.D Phil discovered his talent and delight in teaching at several colleges There were also administrative adventures as Dean of the Graduate School of Geneva College Provost and then acting President of Berkshire Christian College and Executive Vice President and then Interim President of Sterling College Philip’s Christian faith began in his childhood in a Christian family and informed much of what he was and what he did In his retirement there was the glories of returning to Oregon and the wonderful Pacific Ocean He also loved classical music and reading novels Phil and Bonnie always had at least two cats and enjoyed watching and feeding wildlife Chapel by the Sea Presbyterian Church of Lincoln City He is survived by his sisters Anna Myers and Linda Holeman and his wife of nearly 60 years Yvonne “Bonnie” Adell Van Bruggen son John Trahan Van Bruggen and his wife Annette daughter Jennifer Adell Van Bruggen Hamilton and her husband Hudson Memorial gifts may be directed to Chapel by the Sea Have the headlines delivered Monday through Friday so you don't miss out on updates there are no recent results for popular articles View our Subscription offers and specials here Your browser is out of date and potentially vulnerable to security risks.We recommend switching to one of the following browsers: Account processing issue - the email address may already exist Invalid password or account does not exist Submitting this form below will send a message to your email with a link to change your password An email message containing instructions on how to reset your password has been sent to the email address listed on your account Lucie Horsch/Orchestra of the Eighteenth Century(Decca)On a record where instruments matter more than the music Horsch celebrates Brüggen and the remarkable 17th and 18th-century recorders he collected and regularly worked with other period bands including the Orchestra of the Age of Enlightenment But in the early years of his career he was an outstanding recorder player who from the mid 1950s onwards brought a new expressive flexibility and rhythmic freedom to the recorder repertoire as well as commissioning new works for the instrument Artwork for The Frans Brüggen ProjectTen years after Brüggen’s death it’s that achievement as an instrumentalist that is celebrated on Lucie Horsch’s disc More specifically it’s the remarkable array of recorders from the late 17th and early 18th centuries which he collected and played that are in the spotlight here For the 26 tracks Horsch uses 15 different instruments – sopranino treble and tenor recorders – some of which are now so fragile that she was only able to record a couple of takes on each There is a mixture of original pieces – by Telemann among others – alongside arrangements of Haydn with the Orchestra of the Eighteenth Century used for the larger-scale movements With instruments from different eras and countries the pitch of the performances naturally varies Horsch points out in the booklet that she had to play them much more carefully and delicately than she would a modern recorder and to emphasise the differences she plays movements of Handel’s F major sonata on different instruments For once it’s the instruments that matter more than the music; anyone remotely interested in recorder playing will find it fascinating and get a reminder of just what an extraordinary musician Brüggen was This article includes content hosted on embed.music.apple.com We ask for your permission before anything is loaded as the provider may be using cookies and other technologies Listen on Apple Music (above) or Spotify Please enable JS and disable any ad blocker Both companies plan to create a range of oat-based drinks concentrates and other "functional oat products" for German retail German cereal manufacturer H&J Brüggen and dairy producer Frischli plan to set up a joint venture focused on oat-based food and drink products both companies look to produce a range of oat-based drinks concentrates and other “functional oat products” The plan has been submitted to the national federal cartel agency Upon receiving approval from the competition authority both groups expect joint operations to begin under the new business in early 2025 Brüggen and Frischli confirmed they would still run their own companies independently following the establishment of the joint venture Both groups said the proposed business would combine each other’s knowledge in processing milk and oats products and help them respond to the growing demand for plant-based milks in Germany Don’t let policy changes catch you off guard Stay proactive with real-time data and expert analysis one of the three general managers of the family-run Brüggen said: “The establishment of this joint venture marks a significant step in our corporate strategy which focuses on sustainable growth and innovation.” added: “By combining our respective strengths and experience we are ideally positioned to set new standards in the oat drink sector “This joint venture will enable us to strengthen our market position and offer our customers even greater added value.” Brüggen processes a range of private-label breakfast cereals oat flakes and snack bars to retailers and manufacturers worldwide The group manages two factories at its headquarters site in Lübeck It also owns three other manufacturing sites in Chile Frischli processes shelf-stable private-label dairy products As well as its main plant in Rehburg-Loccum the group also owns three dairy factories in Weißenfel in Saxony-Anahalt Eggenfelden in Bavaria and Schöppingen in North Rhine-Westphalia Nominations are now open for the prestigious Just Drinks Excellence Awards - one of the industry's most recognised programmes celebrating innovation This is your chance to showcase your achievements Don't miss the opportunity to be honoured among the best - submit your nomination today Give your business an edge with our leading industry insights View all newsletters from across the GlobalData Media network.

Body size is one thing. Working your way up the pro wrestling ladder quite another, but Van Bruggen’s rise has been striking since jumping into the game in 2023. The 32-year-old former member of the Canadian Scottish Regiment infantry is currently on the Coastal Wrestling Championship tour in Florida, Georgia and Tennessee and has been invited to the WWE proving grounds in Orlando as an up-and comer. “My name is being whispered among the higher-ups. I believe it’s not if but when,” said Van Bruggen, son of former Triathlon Canada CEO Kim Van Bruggen. But nothing is given in this brutal business. It is earned. The entertainment is scripted but the athleticism is real, and Van Bruggen has already suffered broken ribs. “The amount of work is incredible, from learning the footwork and moves and developing a character that can draw out the emotions of the fans,” he said. “It’s about telling a story. It’s good versus evil. And the audience is in on it.” That is evident in that his rugged, tough and tumble “Van Bruggen from the great Canadian Rockies” character belies his otherwise soft-spoken and gentle demeanour. This has taken a serious commitment as Van Bruggen, who owns a farm in Cobble Hill, has moved to Florida. His wife Grace, a former Camosun volleyball player and daughter of former UVic basketball great and two-time Olympian Gerald Kazanowski, and their two-and-a-half year old son Axl have relocated with him. It was a major decision, but it’s what needs to be done when you are on the potential cusp of the big time. “I believe I am on the radar,” said Van Bruggen. That would make two Islanders in the WWE, along with Green. And that’s not just a storyline. transmission or republication strictly prohibited This website uses cookies to personalize your content (including ads), and allows us to analyze our traffic.

processing company by acquiring 50% of their shares through a subsidiary as confirmed by representatives of Rīgas dzirnavnieks parent company Dobeles Dzirnavnieks The deal needs approval from the Competition Council The deal concerns only oat grain processing whereas flour and flour product production as well as Rīgas dzirnavnieks brands Herkuless and Saimniece will remain under Dobeles dzirnavnieks Dobeles dzirnavnieks will continue distributing Rīgas dzirnavnieks products in Latvia The company adds that from now on Rīgas dzirnavnieks will specialise on oat grain processing as the company that has long-term cooperation with the biggest distribution networks in Europe and the world will ensure the sales of products made in Riga on the global market Dobeles dzirnavnieks board chairman Kristaps Amsils stresses that the creation of a joint company will help strengthen cooperation between the two companies promote Rīgas dzirnavnieks’ own sustainable growth and competitiveness of its products on the global market as well as ensure stable grain processing volumes in Latvia He stresses that the company has had successful cooperation with H supplying the company with oatmeal and other cereal products produced in Dobele Amsill also mentions that specializing in oat grain processing will allow you to compete more successfully in the global market expand the range of products and develop the production of new products He is confident that through cooperation with H Rīgas dzirnavnieks will gain additional experience and knowledge that will help further develop Latvia’s grain processing industry The transaction for the establishment of the joint venture was concluded in cooperation with the law firm Spīgulis Minister of Economics Viktors Valainis stresses that the increase in foreign investment and exports plays a crucial role in promoting a faster economic development of the country Rīgas dzirnavnieks last year worked with a turnover of EUR 31.279 million and a profit of EUR 953 165 The company was registered in 1991 and has a share capital of EUR 6.579 million “Rīgas dzirnavnieks” produces grain processing products – wheat and rye flour rolled grains and groats for industrial consumers as well as pre-packaged products for individual consumption under the brands “Hercules” “Hercogs” and “Īsta saimniece” The company is part of the Baltic Mill

of experience that is not for the faint of heart He was in the east Bend Safeway when the bullets were flying in 2022 during a mass shooting incident that killed three and he was at Smith Rock State Park a year later on the day law enforcement officers intercepted a heavily armed Portland man who allegedly planned to shoot rock climbers and their friends a gun enthusiast who is about to become a father has found himself speaking more these days about gun safety as the Oregon Supreme Court debates the fate of Measure 114 which requires background checks for all firearm sales and closes loopholes that allow some gun sales to occur before a background check is completed “It’s a feeling I never felt before: The feeling of being hunted,” Van Bruggen said “The past two years have been a period of healing and getting back to normal Then we started to go back to grocery stores and other public places slowly and developed a comfort.” it’s the image of a man holding tightly to the hands of two young daughters as they ran down the soft drink aisle together toward the back of the store that haunts his thoughts When the Oregon Alliance for Gun Safety reached out to Van Bruggen recently he stepped forward to talk about his experiences and feelings Often gun rights dominates gun safety discussions Alliance for a Safe Oregon executive director “You can see this in the Oregon Legislature where politicians walked out last year over meaningful gun violence prevention policies that were supported by over 70% of Oregonians rather than collaborating on meaningful action that respected firearm owners,” Marks said “We need to change who we are listening to.” One is a federal case that’s on appeal after a U.S District Court ruled in July 2023 that Measure 114 is both constitutional and in line with the U.S Supreme Court’s recent rulings on gun safety Lawyers for the gun lobby appealed the 9th U.S The second challenge involves a Harney County judge who ruled that Measure 114 is unconstitutional under the Oregon Constitution The Oregon Department of Justice appealed the decision and oral arguments in the case took place last week policymakers need to hear from people like Van Bruggen Talking about gun violence sometimes can be triggering has introduced a series of legislative measures to support responsible gun ownership “The time for tweeting out thoughts and prayers in response to gun violence in our country is long past,” Wyden said “Our communities deserve action that keeps everybody safe in schools That’s’ why I’m taking comprehensive action to pass commonsense legislation that would protect domestic abuse survivors repeal the gun industry’s legal liability shield and strengthen gun storage provisions.” Most shootings involving a firearm stem from mental health issues said Jefferson County Sheriff Jason Pollock Every single case I have ever been involved in regarding a homicide that is not drug dealer related “Fix the drug issue and the mental health issue and we will see a drop in violence across the board.” talking about the shooting that killed two men on Aug He was on the phone with his then-fiancé talking about mixers for their signature cocktail that would be served at their upcoming wedding a man came up to him and whispered in his ear that there was a gunman in the store He started to run toward the back of the store but was concerned the back entrance might be blocked He ran up the produce aisle moments before Donald Surrett Van Bruggen would later learn that the gunman “I don’t want to lose momentum for our mission to make our community safer Having a baby on the way also compels me to take a stand on gun safety to make our community safer for those that are most vulnerable.” The incident carved a hole in the heart of the community For the past two years Van Bruggen has worked to regain his footing although not back to the east Bend Safeway He’s using his grief now to provide a platform to talk about gun safety and to take action and I want my child to grow up in a safer world,” Van Bruggen said referring to the daughters who ran down the soft-drink aisle “Now that I’ve spent the last couple years of regaining my footing my grief is more about taking action and looking for ways make the world safer for my kid.” Stay secure and make sure you have the best reading experience possible by

working his way through several other careers After growing up in Saanich where he graduated from Claremont Secondary School he joined the Canadian Army and rowed with Rowing Canada a spinal injury forced him to step away from the sport in 2016 He moved to Cobble Hill in 2019 and launched Gold Standard Hauling & Services a trucking business serving Vancouer Island and I had my peaceful life on a little farm in Cobble Hill with my wife and son,” Van Bruggen said he's received comments about his size his whole life ‘I feel like I’m walking behind the Undertaker.’ My wife and I joked about giving wrestling a shot,” he said He called an old friend and Claremont classmate the reigning WWE Women’s United States Champion Green suggested he attend Flatbacks Wrestling School in Apopka Van Bruggen hopped into his old Cadillac and drove 6,300 kilometres to train He’s been wrestling on the indie circuit ever since “I’ve completely fallen in love with pro wrestling,” he said I’d never wrestled a match in front of people in my life and wasn’t planning on it that night I just went to help set up the ring and guardrails.” he has been travelling from town to town with the CCW promotion Van Bruggen says it’s “not a question of if but when” he gets a call to audition for WWE challenges remain – he is currently on a tourist visa and cannot earn income as a wrestler he relies on his trucking company for income while working on securing a performance visa that would allow him to stay in the U.S “If WWE reaches out in the next three-and-a-half months and decides to give me a tryout an invite to the WWE performance centre has always been the goal a stepping stone to the wrestling big time.  and a retired Texas Ranger character called “Big Iron Buck,” he now wrestles as Van Bruggen – a butt-kicking Canadian from the Rockies “It’s great because it garners a lot of heat – a lot of negative emotions from the crowd “When the babyface – the good guy in wrestling – comes out They’re excited and want to see good overcome evil.” Van Bruggen then duels with the babyface an element he said has taken some getting used to I never even had social media,” Van Bruggen said “The first time you walk through the curtain and hear the fans yelling and screaming – whether they’re excited or angry – it doesn’t matter While pro wrestling revolves around performance the athleticism

Increase in agricultural area treated with glyphosate (in comparison with total herbicides and insecticides) and in application rate on GR soybeans in the USA between 1990 and 2014 extracted from the United States Agricultural Statistics Service (NASS) website. http://www.nass.usda.gov/Surveys/Guide_to_NASS_Surveys but not on both types of effects in plants and animals In this paper, we focus on indirect effects of sublethal concentrations of glyphosate and GBH on the health of terrestrial plants, animals and humans due to shifts in microbial community composition in various habitats, ranging from soil to plant and animal surfaces and animal and human intestinal tracts (Figure 2) The objectives are to present an overview of the scientific literature on 1) glyphosate accumulation in the environment and in plant and animal products 2) its effects on microbial communities in soil and 3) potential effects of shifts in microbial community composition on plant Depiction of glyphosate flows in the agricultural production chain Microbiomes consist of a wide range of commensals probably due to the great diversity and compensatory ability of microorganisms within such large groupings Changes in functional genes were also detected in the rhizosphere after glyphosate application at the recommended dose (3 L/ha) of a liquid glyphosate formulation onto EPSPS-transgenic soybean plants (Lu et al., 2018). Although microbial diversity in the rhizosphere of these plants was not affected, functional genes involved in plant growth promotion such as nitrogen fixation genes were affected negatively by glyphosate application (Figure 3) Effects of glyphosate on prokaryote communities on roots of EPSPS-transgenic soybeans cultivar Z31 sprayed with dilute glyphosate (y-axis) or water (x-axis) as determined by shotgun metagenome sequencing analysis of 16S rDNA Yellow and blue data points indicate genes with significantly higher and lower relative abundance in Z31 plants sprayed with glyphosate than in those sprayed with water Brown points represent genes without significant difference between the two treatments Data on effects of actual glyphosate concentrations in animal feed and the intestinal tract on microbial communities and animal health are generally scarce (Katholm the potential effects of glyphosate residues on the in vivo gut microbiome still needs to be investigated in more detail Recent isolates are less sensitive to glyphosate and GBH than older isolates TABLE 1. Means and standard errors of minimal inhibitory concentrations (MIC, mg/ml) of glyphosate-based herbicides for N bacterial strains, as determined in 9 different studies. The means were calculated from the original published data (Supplementary Table S2) The test wells (micro titre plates) were incubated under aerobic or anaerobic conditions and bacterial growth was assessed either by turbidometer or visually Plates that were assessed with a turbidometer had not been incubated under anaerobic conditions Experiments on effects of glyphosate on the gut microbiome of pigs were somewhat contradictory. No effects on bacterial families were detected by 16S rRNA sequencing after Roundup® LB plus (2.85 mg/kg body weight per day) had been added to bacterial cultivation fluid from pig colons in chemostats (Krause et al., 2020). However, small effects were observed at the functional level by metaproteomics (Krause et al., 2020) Potential effects on lower taxonomic units were not tested glyphosate can have sublethal effects on the honeybee microbiota and possibly its health (see paragraph on disease effects below) we focus on indirect health effects through changes in the plant microbiome Effect of glyphosate (mmol/L) on Fusarium disease severity caused by F oxysporum on glyphosate-resistant maize seedlings Effect of glyphosate (mmol/L) on the growth lag phase oxysporum at three different water activities (WA) in vitro resulting in a negative effect on biotrophic fungi like the rust fungi This type of research has not been done with mammals as far as we know and relationships of health problems to the pig microbiome are not clear Associations between pregnancy outcomes and changes in the microbiome were not explored in these studies Effect of 1,000 mg/kg of glyphosate on macroscopic and microscopic growth of Lactobacillus delbrueckii subsp bulgaricus in a solid growth medium for 48 h Solitary wild bees (such as Ceratina and Megalopta species) had a core microbiome that was partially shared with that of the pollen provision (Graystock et al., 2017). Lactobacillus was identified as core bacteria in all bee species and pollen sources investigated and was considered essential for a healthy microbiome (Graystock et al., 2017). Lactobacillus species are particularly sensitive to glyphosate (Baffoni et al., 2016) suggesting that sublethal glyphosate concentrations may have negative health effects on solitary bees too coli strains that enhance the risk of colon cancer are more tolerant to glyphosate than commensal E Deep-sequencing data at genus and species levels of the microbiomes of rhizosphere soil, plants and animals are still rare. However, significant effects of glyphosate on microbiomes have been demonstrated by deep sequencing recently (Lu et al., 2018; Mao et al., 2018; Motta et al., 2018; Romdhane et al., 2019) the probability of demonstrating glyphosate effects depends on the depth of the analysis in terms of taxonomic and functional integration levels Future improvements in deep sequencing and analysis techniques may be helpful in this respect Detecting glyphosate effects on microbiomes and their macro-organism hosts is also hampered because of increasing difficulties in finding: 1) Truly negative controls due to increasing residues in soil, water, food and feed (Séralini, 2020; Silva et al., 2018; de Araujo et al., 2016) 2) Differences in sensitivity of microorganisms as more and more species are becoming resistant to glyphosate (Grube et al., 2019; Pöppe et al., 2019) 3) Actual residue levels above the maximum residue limits if the MRLs are raised over time (Benbrook, 2016; (European Commission), 2020) Thus, documentation of negative side effects of glyphosate will become more and more difficult (Séralini, 2020) This does not mean that there are no negative side effects now compared to truly negative controls available 25 years ago independent and trustworthy research is needed to revisit the tolerance thresholds for glyphosate residues in water food and animal feed taking all possible health risks into account AvB developed the ideas, collected literature, and wrote the manuscript.

less pension than men This difference is mainly due to the fact that women work less “Women are also generally less concerned with their financial future than men and have less knowledge of pensions,” said Lisa Brüggen of pension think tank Netspar in an explanation almost half of the Dutch (48 percent) are not aware that the pension income of women is lower than for men Five out of ten women (52 percent) consider the pension gap to be (very) worrying compared to three out of ten men (30 percent) Three-quarters of women (74 percent) find it (very) important that this gap is closed while this applies to only half of the men (57 percent) The research also shows that women spend less time delving into their pensions than men When asked who knows more about their own pension situation men significantly more often answered “I more than my partner.” Respondents also believe that employers and pension providers should communicate more clearly about the consequences for pensions if they work less winning accolades for his astonishing variety of tone colour rhythmic flexibility and the sheer brilliance of his technique Like many other period-instrument specialists, he subsequently brought historical principles to bear in his work with modern-instrument orchestras such as the Chicago Symphony, the Royal Concertgebouw and the Vienna Philharmonic the flute at the Amsterdam Muzieklyceum and musicology at Amsterdam University His virtuoso technique on the recorder propelled him to celebrity status he would hold the instrument to his mouth at an implausible angle and – as his colleague Joel Cohen recalled – coax from it nuances and shadings that few would have imagined possible: "The little whistle heaved and sighed like a wood nymph in the embrace of some ardent faun." Notes would be slightly bent in slow passages to exquisitely yearning effect The tone would be alternately warmed and cooled and pinpoint articulation and bold use of rubato deployed to expressive effect seized the potential of his exceptional technique allied to his heavy-lidded but boyish good looks to produce a poster of their star performer for distribution with his long-playing albums If at first his inflections and messa di voce swellings ("placing the voice" with the dynamics on a single note rising and falling) seemed mannered it is a tribute to his persuasive musicianship that such gestures became widely accepted Controversial as his playing was at the time Brüggen was able to defend his practice with detailed reference to 17th- and 18th-century performance treatises No less idiosyncratic was his involvement with the Dutch counterculture movement at this time. In 1972 he founded with Kees Boeke and Walter van Hauwe an avant-garde recorder trio called Sour Cream The concluding piece of one of their Boston concerts featured a Keystone Kops-style chase around the stage with the ensemble playing Telemann trios again in Boston stretched himself out on a chaise longue and proceeded to read the newspaper The Boston Globe was satisfyingly outraged which he dispatched in appropriately theatrical style Brüggen's work with the Orchestra of the Eighteenth Century was in general less marked by controversy shared equally in the proceeds of concerts "I earn the same as the second clarinet," Brüggen once said Compared with the bracing readings of classical repertoire by Nikolaus Harnoncourt Brüggen's were less extreme and could never be accused of attention-seeking relaxed tempi and lilting phrases were admirably suited to Haydn and Mozart though they exploited the acerbic timbres of period instruments were for some tastes too solid and conventional for example the notable Mass in B minor for Philips (1990) the shape of each movement unfolding with seeming inevitability Brüggen continued to conduct even when his health deteriorated in the latter years. By the time of a performance of music from Rameau's Les Boréades at the final event of a residency for his orchestra at the Royal Conservatoire in The Hague last May he was using a wheelchair and a nasogastric tube But he still drew playing of extraordinary spiritual intensity We use cookies to provide a more personalized website experience By clicking “I Accept” you consent to all cookies Click “I Decline” to continue with essential cookies only Learn about how we use cookies BMInt is pleased to reprint this extended excerpt from the 1985 book “Reprise: The Extraordinary Revival of Early Music with text by Joel Cohen and photos by Herb Snitzer.”Of all the melody instruments the most important during the seventeenth and eighteenth centuries was unquestionably the violin; the transverse flute trailed forlornly at a distant second place Yet the first modern superstar to emerge from the early music ranks was neither a violinist nor (primarily) a traverso player His instrument was the one favored by countless thousands of early music enthusiasts—the recorder His enormous public success surpassed anything previously conferred on an early instrument specialist (except perhaps for harpsichordist Wanda Landowska two generations earlier) the relatively restrained coterie of the early music faithful No one ever threatened to make Gustav Leonhardt or Sigiswald Kuijken into a matinee idol; but around 1968 Telefunken which was releasing solo recitals by Brüggen on a regular basis began packaging a poster-size photograph of their star with some of his [LP] albums heavy-lidded and weary of this mortal frame past the solicitations of his adoring fans toward some profound and mysteriously burdensome Unknown Large numbers of artistic and sensitive young ladies affixed the poster to their bedroom walls The recorder was one of the first obsolete instruments to be revived in modern times This unpromising stick of wood has also been known as the blockflöte It has shared a long history with its sister instrument the transverse flute (also known as the flauto traverso despite numerous transformations of its manufacture across the centuries (or rather because of them) descends in a straight line from the wooden traversi of earlier centuries The recorder has no comparable place in modern concert life Its decline and fall had to do perhaps with its somewhat intractable nature which allows its players many kinds of nuances and tonal colors a recorder has basically only two aural states on and off—something like the switches inside a computer chip and about equally supple and humane the recorder was counted among the instruments of seduction by the painters of the Italian Renaissance Many a sixteenth-century painting of a bacchanal contains a symbolic recorder (along with other things meant to signify pleasure) somewhere within its frame Frans Brüggen revived that seductiveness by indeed playing the instrument rather than merely brandishing it like some Venetian cupid; and in so doing he managed to rouse his audiences to heights of enthusiasm rarely seen in the calm contemplative circles of the musical antiquarians holding the recorder at an odd and slightly defiant angle to his mouth to the most astonishing kinds of metamorphoses Abjuring the ticky-tocky style popular with Baroque performers in the recently elapsed fifties Brüggen coaxed nuances and shadings from his instrument that few would have imagined possible heretofore a thousand kinds of ways to shape a group of notes together seemed to issue forth from the recorder’s narrow bore Nothing stood still or grew stolid: in the fast movements Brüggen’s incredible technique allowed sixteenth notes to cascade into the hall at breakneck speed the sustained notes would rise disquietingly from the correct pitch touch a point about a quarter-tone above the center The little whistle heaved and sighed like a wood nymph in the embrace of some ardent faun The Brüggen maniera quickly revolutionized the teaching and playing of the recorder and its music aspiring virtuosi took to sticking the recorder at unusual angles to their faces and to playing every long note with a roller-coaster swell in the middle Controversies flamed at weekend recorder workshops as to whether the celebrated hallmarks of the Brüggen playing style were truly founded in Baroque performance practice Frans Brüggen himself defended many of his ways from the august podium of a visiting professorship at Harvard There (and elsewhere) he was able to explain that many of the seemingly audacious things he did with a recorder were simply the application of precepts from seventeenth- and eighteenth-century performance treatises Brüggen applied the basic precepts his own way The spirit of contradiction coursed hot within his veins and so he took every possible clue from the old manuals which would enable him to build a performing style that would be different from the Dolmetsch workshops isn’t-it-nice-weather-we’re-having manner of the official chamber orchestras his originality spawned a host of Frans clones just a few years later It is flattering for any performer to realize that he is the object of imitation and emulation For someone with Brüggen’s rebellious and individualistic temperament it must have been infuriating as well Controversies and camp-followers notwithstanding the Brüggen legacy has permanently transformed and deepened our understanding of the recorder and its literature to consign the recorder to the slag-heap of music history The instrument’s peculiar overtone structure and limited dynamic range made it seem more often than not just plain inadequate for the transmission of serious musical thought By developing the inherent technical possibilities of the recorder to their maximum and by applying a superior musical intelligence to every tiny detail of performance practice Brüggen showed us that recorder playing could be as stimulating and rewarding an activity as anything else And he proved that there is really no such thing as an “inferior” instrument; there are only players without enough imagination Brüggen’s keen sense of opposition and contradiction led him to many of his important discoveries in the field of recorder technique Those same character traits also led him to question many other idées reçues of the musical order He became interested in avant-garde contemporary music and cultivated friendships with some eminent contemporary composers; one day during his Baroque seminar at Harvard [with this writer in attendance] he taunted his students by playing the solo piece that avant-garde composer Luciano Berio had written for him and defying his listeners to pick out the mistakes he was deliberately inserting in Berio’s hard-to-read score His involvement with the Dutch counterculture movement led to some unusual moments during his recitals: at a [Boston] concert with the trio Sour Cream (Brüggen plus two of his student-colleagues the last piece featured a Keystone-Kops chase around the concert stage the same trio performed again in Boston more determined than ever to épater les bourgeois While Kees and Walter played Telemann duos Brüggen wandered onto the Jordan Hall stage and nonchalantly began reading a copy of the daily newspaper The event provoked an indignant editorial from the Boston Globe a couple of days later At least some members of the educated classes who often brush their teeth in the morning to the strains of canned Vivaldi Brüggen himself seemed less and less amused by the idea of giving solo recitals on the recorder He still commands astronomical fees for those appearances but nowadays [mid 1980’s] his heart and soul are elsewhere Some of his colleagues view Brüggen’s recent activity as a conductor with a measure of mistrust The recorder virtuoso’s decision to found (and even in part to autofinance) his own orchestra was greeted in some quarters with the skeptical jeers accorded Secretary of State William Seward as he arranged to purchase Alaska from the Russians both the Alaska purchase and the Orchestra of the Eighteenth Century (as Brüggen has named it) were worthwhile undertakings is intended for the performance of pre-classical and classical period music Brüggen has become increasingly drawn to the style period just following the one he originally specialized in applying to those later masters the same kinds of approaches that worked so well with Lully and Vivaldi and Bach The instrumentalists have been recruited from the first ranks of the younger Baroque players; their instruments replicate those in use at the end of the eighteenth century; and the playing style is derived in large part from our historical knowledge about orchestras of that period More important (and here is the main difference between this orchestra and certain others that have delved into the Mozart-Haydn repertoire with period instruments) the performances are strongly personal statements about the music rather than efficient sight-readings given the increasing professionalism of early music players to rehearse Mozart’s Jupiter Symphony in the morning and produce a technically adequate disk recording in the afternoon do justice to the “inside” of a genuine musical masterpiece like the Jupiter Too many important things must be left undiscussed and undecided Brüggen’s current performances reflect a lot of hard work on a myriad of small details: tone color the articulation of individual notes in inner voices Familiar works (like the late Mozart symphonies) seem to come alive again revealing themselves as though for the first time Hearing that music with this ensemble is something like seeing a familiar Old Master painting on its return from a thorough cleaning and restoration Colors that had been dimmed and dulled by layers of grit and varnish can now reappear with their true intensity and expressive impact We are now hearing many “early music” performances of Mozart and Haydn (Beethoven and Schubert as well) offered by people who apprenticed first in Baroque music Frans Brüggen’s experiments in this direction must be counted among the most satisfying of the lot Brüggen’s success with Mozart depends on those same personal qualities that were evident in his recorder playing: the refusal to take anything for granted and the untiring search for solutions that probe beyond convention and lazy self-evidence We have noted earlier [in the book] that the decision to make one’s life in early music has as much to do with the present as it does with the past Nowhere is that more evident than in Frans Brüggen’s career he has consistently refused to play by the established rules His search for other precepts and other principles came from an inner need to do things his own way The music of the distant past has been a means toward a personal end Frans Brüggen the surgeon would have invented an outlandish but brilliantly successful technique to transplant some obscure but necessary vital organ Frans Brüggen the auto mechanic would probably have set about redesigning the internal combustion engine just to show the world how badly it had been done in the first place It was a loss to the hospitals and the garages of this planet but we music lovers can be glad: young Frans picked up neither a scalpel nor a monkey wrench as his tool for getting even with the world’s dullards 1 Comment » Categories News & Features 1 Comment [leave a civil comment (others will be removed) and please disclose relevant affiliations]Thank you which resulted in my (and Laura’s) playing with him in “O18” for six happy years Many wonderful memories remain with me from those years including some of Frans’s maddening experiments with seating But he was always trying to re-create the music we played My fondest memories were of Rameau suites which we toured with in Australia and Eastern Europe while the wall was still up (1985) We played all the Brandenburgs — Frans playing flute and recorder — in Cöthen (where Bach composed them) and in Leipzig on his 300th birthday — the very day The combination of the momentousness of the occasion (felt keenly by every Leipziger it seemed) and the political situation (no other “Western” group was there to perform!) made the event unforgettable in all its vivid detail Bach’s triumph over sordid political realities was palpable I remember Frans sneaking into the choir loft of the Thomaskirche and playing a few notes on his wooden baroque flute Frans had both a seriousness and a capriciousness that earned him the undying loyalty of his orchestra I traveled with them again some 15 years after I had left to join the Lydian String Quartet Many have been with him for the whole run of 34 years He made a transformation from a matinée idol tootler into a serious conductor cleverly parleying his renown as an instrumentalist-provocateiur into engagements for his newly created orchestra always the searcher and always listening to the orchestra and its possibilities He refused for a number of years — much to the chagrin of recording companies — to record with the orchestra And then he insisted in recording live performances Frans will be missed sorely in Holland and throughout the seriously listening world Comment by Daniel Stepner — August 18 RSS feed for comments on this post.

But in New York an exhibition at Pace Gallery is seeking to remedy one of these historical imbalances: Coosje van Bruggen’s vital yet historically unsung role alongside Claes Oldenburg in the Pop Art powerhouse that is Claes & Coosje.  ‘The exhibit as a whole is a beautiful intelligent and compelling elucidation of artistic partnership in celebration of multiplicity over reductive views of authorship,’ the duo’s daughter Maartje Oldenburg, tells Wallpaper*.  The pair met in 1971, when Coosje was a young curator at the Stedelijk Museum in Amsterdam and Claes was a subversive and prominent force in Pop Art They married six years later and Coosje soon turned from interlocutor into fully fledged artist and collaborator in her own right She brought a lot to the table: the intellectual rigour of a critic combined with the poetic sensibilities of a sculptor instantly recognisable public artworks that prove difficult to forget.  uncanny replicas of familar objects were Claes & Coosje's bread and butter The Pace exhibition spans from their early collaborations in the 1980s to their final works in the late 2000s soft sculptures and drawings relating to their most famed works.  commissioned and conceived with the writer Germano Celant and architect Frank Gehry is a suite of gloriously warped musical instruments that Claes & Coosje created around the time of their last major solo show ‘The Music Room’, presented at Pace Gallery, New York whimsy and subversive spirit of Claes & Coosje’s remarkable collaboration the mood changes from amused awe to reflection Claes presented his wife with small sculptural works as tokens of affection Claes created 31 intricate paper flowers for her as an anniversary gift Flowers spring up as a recurring theme in their work and formed the basis of their final project together Dropped Bouquet – an enormous painted aluminium sculpture created this year and on display for the first time – was initially conceived for a grassy sloping hillside in the sculpture garden of Indianapolis Museum of Art but the original commission was never realised ‘It is personally meaningful to realise Dropped Bouquet today to bring Coosje into a present with growing awareness of and appreciation for the too often minimised contributions of women,’ Maartje says.  escapism and design stories from around the world direct to your inbox The exhibition offers rare insight into the fantastical world of Claes & Coosje ‘When my eyes first skipped across more than 40 images of large-scale projects displayed chronologically on a single wall because they represent my childhood but also my parents’ lived commitment to the immanence of art that moving between personal and public spheres This article was first published in spring 2021 ‘Claes & Coosje: A Duet’ ran at Pace New York in spring 2021, pacegallery.com oldenburgvanbruggen.com Harriet Lloyd-Smith was the Arts Editor of Wallpaper* responsible for the art pages across digital and print She started at Wallpaper* in 2017 and has written for leading contemporary art publications and lectured on review writing and art journalism Claes Oldenburg with Coosje van Bruggen: Drawings is a survey of 40 collaborative works by contemporary artists Claes Oldenburg and Coosje van Bruggen This exhibition presents drawings and one sculpture spanning the artists’ careers from 1961 through 2001 It offers an intriguing and insightful look at works on paper by two extraordinarily innovative modern artists well known for their monumental and imaginative sculptures which are located in major cities throughout the world The exhibition presents a chronological survey of works highlighting the ingenious ways in which Oldenburg and van Bruggen appropriated and re-invented form Beginning with studies of Oldenburg’s first and well-known monumental soft sculptures of the 1960s Claes Oldenburg with Coosje van Bruggen: Drawings reveals a collaborative evolution of work that culminates with drafts of their large-scale hard sculptures of the late 1990s and early 2000s The drawings represent the conception of an artistic idea striking visual representations of manifested creations where line and form playfully intertwine the surreal and the natural elements of a landscape Visitors will see artworks on loan from the Whitney Museum of American Art, the Kimiko Powers Collection, and the Oldenburg and van Bruggen studio as well as one work from the DAM’s permanent collection.

association with the Whitney Museum of American Art New York and supported by the Eleanor and Henry Hitchcock Foundation Marieke Van Bruggen has been coding for nearly 30 years but she still feels like she’s “learning a lot in this space” “This space” being the realm of data and digital analytics a part of the retail industry that has become increasingly critical to business success even just since Covid with e-commerce obviously getting much more of a focus than it was previously,” Van Bruggen told Inside Retail Currently head of digital analytics and optimisation at GPC Apac the parent company of automotive retailers Repco and Napa Auto Parts Van Bruggen studied design at university and is entirely self-taught when it comes to data Her natural affinity for detail has aided her career progression from e-commerce manager to data expert “A former manager used to refer to me as ‘special ops’ because she said I have this ability to dig into the detail of things and find creative solutions for things,” Van Bruggen shared While that makes the work sound quite glamorous the reality is decidedly less so: “It’s not very sexy but a large part of my role is data hygiene,” she said “A fair amount of time needs to be spent making sure all of your platforms and processes are nailed down because you’re really relying on the quality of that data that you have access to.” This is particularly important for a business with a large portfolio of subsidiaries like GPC we’ve even got business services in there as well,” she said “Every single website that I work across has different customer requirements but it also adds that variety that I just love within retail.” When it comes to putting all of that data to use Van Bruggen believes that having a holistic view is key to deriving meaning from the numbers “My common experience is that a lot of executive teams typically will have a checklist of standard KPIs that they want measured in dashboards and it’s because that’s what they’ve had in previous businesses or what they’ve heard from industry experts,” she said ‘You can have all the dashboards in the world but in order to find meaning from your data you actually have to have an idea of your customers’ pain points or your overall business goals.'” One example she often gives is that a retailer might see their conversion rate decreasing but if their average order value is going up their overall revenue could still be increasing “If you’re myopically focused on just that conversion number you’re always going to be disappointed,” she said Van Bruggen is also a big proponent of using qualitative data She works closely with GPC’s customer insights teams and voice of customer programs to identify these pain points and then further analyses the blockages with quantitative data “If you’re just looking at quantitative it’s really hard to find that direction to go in,” she said GPC has a wealth of data across its marketing and ensuring the business has a unified customer view is a big area of focus for Van Bruggen “I definitely haven’t seen any businesses that I think are nailing it around making sure that their data is not siloed and is applicable across different areas of the business,” she said though customer data platforms (CDPs) “make a huge difference for those retailers that have lots of data and can stitch it together,” she added While incoming privacy legislation in Australia is set to disrupt the way retailers collect and use their customer data Van Bruggen chooses to view this as an opportunity rather than a roadblock “If you can communicate to the customer and say ‘If you’re willing to share your data with us this is the benefit that you receive,’ and people see it more as a value exchange I think that enhances the process,” she said “It actually forces us to step up and say ‘If this is what we want to do as a business we have to make sure that the customer is aware of it but also appreciates why we’re doing it.'” “The real area of excitement for me at the moment is retail media — the pace that it is picking up in Australia and the questions it raises,” Van Bruggen said GPC is currently working to understand how customers interact with store installations and fixtures While she sees a big opportunity to capture a level of customer data that was previously only available online she cautioned that the impact of retail media on the customer experience is still unclear “I’d love it if someone did a study or because I hypothesise there might be some scenarios where the ad revenue gained from a particular retail media campaign would actually be less than what you would have gained in customer sales had you not had that campaign,” she said “I think there’s an overall view that retail media can be the gravy on top of an existing product revenue stream There’s less of a view of how much cannibalisation there might be from having a retail media campaign that actually distracts customers from purchasing product or maybe makes it harder for them to find.” When asked what her “gut” tells her Van Bruggen replied that it probably comes down to the creative material you can have an amazing display or an amazing digital screen it can decrease the customer’s overall engagement when the creative really aligns to the brand and the retailer I think that’s where the real opportunity is,” she said While some data experts might take offense to being asked what their gut says Van Bruggen believes that it still has an important role to play in decision-making “I think a lot of people want data to be black and white and this is the direction we’ll go in we’ve been data-driven and we can go to bed and sleep easily at night is grey and really open to interpretation and really open to where people can make the numbers look how they want them to look,” she said “I get quite frustrated when I see people who quote numbers incorrectly I think the gut still has an important element within that It’s just how the data informs the gut.” This article is part of Inside Retail’s #IRWD365 campaign to shine a spotlight on inspiring women in Australia’s retail industry and drive tangible change towards gender equality Kate Moomaw is assistant conservator for modern and contemporary art in the conservation department at the Denver Art Museum Kate has been at the DAM since 2011 and her favorite artwork that has been on view here is Geneviève and the May Wolf by Kiki Smith In part one of this series we discussed assessing what needed to be done to conserve Big Sweep by Claes Oldenburg and Coosje van Bruggen The next step in the conservation process was to meet with specialists in automotive painting and refinishing to refine the treatment plan and find the right specialist for the job Custom automotive painters were expected to be a good fit for the job as the sculpture had been painted with a paint similar to automotive paints custom automotive painters frequently undertake complex repainting projects that must be executed to extremely high standards Four companies were interviewed and Steve Aigner and his company Body Works Custom Painting were selected the treatment plan was refined to include partial repainting of four of the broom bristles and the front edge of the lower white paper wad as well as buffing of scratched and abraded areas on the other bristles to minimize the appearance of damage This treatment plan was sent to Claes Oldenburg and his studio for their review Some research was needed into the original colors used on the sculpture to provide specifications for purchasing the paint The paint samples prepared when the sculpture was made were sent back to the paint manufacturer to be matched again to be sure the color formulas were correct Steve and his company obtained the various paint materials needed–primer and additives–and prepared mock-ups in his shop so that they could learn the properties of the paint and make sure the color matches were correct and renting lift equipment were also made in the weeks prior to the work The first step of the treatment itself was for conservation staff to wash the entire sculpture and I worked from lifts to reach all of the surfaces with a brush and pressure washer as you can see in the image at the top of this post Steve Aigner and the lead painter from his company The first steps were filling deep chips in the surfaces and careful sanding to recreate the perfectly smooth surface A crack in the surface of the fiberglass paper wad was also repaired All of the areas with minor scratches and abrasions that did not go all the way through the paint were then lightly sanded and buffed to minimize the appearance of the damage I worked together with Steve to determine an appropriate level of sanding and buffing and to make decisions about which areas to treat The next step was to mask off all the parts of the sculpture that were not to be painted with paper and plastic to prevent overspray from the paint application from depositing on the surfaces All areas to be painted were sanded to allow the new paint to adhere well and were wiped down with solvents to remove any dirt or grease Primer was applied first to areas that had been repaired and was allowed to dry Applying these coatings with a spray gun is a specialized skill that takes years of experience to develop Check out the video in the slideshow below of James Lamarr spraying the clear coat onto the front brown bristle the masking was removed and some final buffing and finishing was carried out although this outdoor sculpture and others are made of durable materials meant to withstand the outdoor environment these materials are still highly vulnerable to activities like climbing and skateboarding and can be easily damaged Help to preserve outdoor sculptures for everyone by avoiding such activities and spreading the word Image credit: Claes Oldenburg and Coosje

these later discs demonstrate is how different Brüggen’s approach was from his contemporaries and fellow pioneers in the early music world Brüggen’s interpretations of Beethoven offer a fascinating encounter with a historically informed music-making that speaks and moves with a grandeur and structural momentum that is never about the shock-therapy of individual moments iconoclastic tempos or overheated rhetoric Instead, Brüggen’s approach was characterised by a remarkable quality of letting the music speak for itself, apparently without interpretative intervention. The same was true of his Bach: across a little than two hours, he unfolded the Mass in B minor as an epiphany of musical song-lines that intertwined in a continuous celebration of polyphonic possibility and spiritual revelation This was a completely different and more consistently lyrical world from the one that Nikolaus Harnoncourt or Roger Norrington have created in the same repertoire; Brüggen revealed another dimension to early musical possibility Picking just a few moments from decades of recordings to mark his life in music is an invidious exercise here are a handful of links to a tiny fraction of the extraordinary riches this one-of-a-kind musician has left us Watch this beautifully poised 1966 performance from Brüggen on the recorder accompanied by Gustav Leonhardt on harpsichord Brüggen leads his Orchestra of the 18th Century An object lesson in how to create a line from the beginning to the triumphant end of this gigantic symphony A performance of huge lyrical intensity and expressive power again with the Orchestra of the 18th Century in which this grandest of all 18th-century symphonies is monumentally revealed flautist and key figure in Holland’s early music scene passed away at his home in Amsterdam Frans Brüggen, a conductor and key figure in Holland’s early music scene, has died at the age of 79 He was also a visiting professor at Harvard University Brüggen co-founded the Orchestra of the 18th Century which specialises in making music using authentic instruments or replicas from the period Some of his most famous recordings include selections from the Pièces de Clavecin en Concerts of Jean-Philippe Rameau Brüggen was the uncle of the recorder soloist and Amsterdam Loeki Stardust Quartet member Daniël Brüggen and was married to art historian Machtelt Israëls The dates displayed for an article provide information on when various publication milestones were reached at the journal that has published the article activities on preceding journals at which the article was previously under consideration are not shown (for instance submission All content on this site: Copyright © 2025 Elsevier B.V.

Sinclair did manage to double up once to edge closer, but it would not be enough as Van Bruggen put the finishing touches on his dominating win after taking back the reigns with a few key hands That wraps things up for the PokerNews coverage of the ESPT Main Event Stay tuned for all the other action here in Barcelona throughout the rest of the series + Get the Texas Hold'em Poker Cheat Sheet - FREE PokerNews.com is the world’s leading poker website visitors will find a daily dose of articles with the latest poker news Disclaimer: any promotions presented on this page were correct and available at the time of writing We encourage all users to check the promotion displayed matches the most current promotion available by clicking through to the operator welcome page Please read the terms and conditions carefully before you accept any promotional welcome offer modified or distributed without the express prior written permission of the copyright holder.
