# Complete Encyclopaedia of Music/B/Birch, H. W

Birch, H. W., was a friend of the celebrated Dr. Croft. On the death of the doctor, in 1727, Mr. Birch erected a monument for his friend at his own expense. This gentleman was remarkable for the singularity of his character. He was a man of abilities in his profession ; was one of the counsel for Woolston, in the prosecution against him for his blasphemous publications concerning the miracles of our blessed Savior, and made for him as good a defence as so bad a cause would admit of. He was possessed of a good estate, and was therefore at liberty to gratify his passion for music, which was a very strange one, for he preferred that style which had a tendency to draw tears. Of all compositions he most admired the funeral service by Purcell and Croft, and would leave the circuit and ride many miles to hear it. At the funeral of' Queen Caro-line, for the greater convenience of hearing this music, he, with another lawyer, who was after-wards a judge, walked among the choirmen of the abbey, each clad in a surplice, with a music paper in one hand and a taper in the other, though neither he nor his friend could sing a note.

Blangini composed one hundred and sixty-four romances ; one hundred and seventy notturnos, for two voices ; seventeen sets of canzonets ; six motets ; four masses ; and about twenty operas. Among the more favorite of his operas may be cited "La fausse Duegne," "Nephtali," "Zelie et Terville," "Ines de Castro," "Les F�tes Lacedemoniennes," and "Le Sacrifice d'Abraham."

Bland, Mrs., is the daughter of an Italian Jewess of the name of Romanzini, and was first introduced into public life by a Mr. Cady, hair dresser to the Royal Circus, who heard and approved of her voice while an infant, and by the consent of her mother she was engaged at a small salary. She soon distinguished herself by her wit and pleasing manner of singing, and rapidly advanced in the good opinion of her audience. Miss Romanzini soon aspired to a regular stage, and was engaged by Mr. Daly, manager of the Dublin Theatre, where she was well received.
When Mrs. Wrighten left the stage, the managers found great difficulty in supplying her place. Among others, Miss Romanzini was en-gaged for that purpose, and in a short time she proved herself an excellent substitute. The public were greatly pleased with her performance of the page, in "Richard Coeur de Lion," which added much to the popularity of the piece, and her fame.
In the summer of 1789 she went to Liverpool, and became a favorite with the inhabitants of that place, both as an actress and as a concert singer. About this period she married Mr. Bland, brother to Mrs. Jordan, by whom she had several children. This lady, both as an actress and as a singer, afforded much pleasure to the public.

Congressman Elijah Cummings opening statement at US Congress contraception hearing
HON. ELIJAH E. CUMMINGS
OF MARYLAND IN THE HOUSE OF REPRESENTATIVES
February 16, 2012
As the son of two ministers from a small church in Baltimore, I understand the position of the religious community on this issue. I know—both through my faith and my legal training—that we have an obligation as a nation to make accommodations, where appropriate, to avoid undue interference with the practice of religion.
But there is another core interest we must consider, and that is the interest of women. The pill has had a profound impact on their well-being—far more than any man in this room can possibly know. It has allowed women to control their lives and make very personal decisions about how many children to have and when to have them.
I think everyone understands what is going on here today. The Chairman is promoting a conspiracy theory that the federal government is conducting a “war” against religion. He has stacked the hearing with witnesses who agree with his position. He has not invited the Catholic Health Association, Catholic Charities, Catholics United, or a host of other Catholic groups that praised the White House for making the accommodation they made last week.
He has also refused to allow a minority witness to testify about the interests of women who want safe and affordable coverage for basic preventive health care, including contraception.
In my opinion, this Committee commits a massive injustice by trying to pretend that the views of millions of women across this country are meaningless, or worthless, or irrelevant to this debate.
For these reasons, I yield the rest of my time to Congresswoman Carolyn Maloney.

Hold Press Conference to Highlight Honda’s Letter to AG Loretta Lynch Calling for Investigation into the Arrest of Ahmed Mohamed
Washington, D.C. – Today, Congressman Mike Honda (D-Silicon Valley) hosted a press conference with Ahmed Mohamed, the14-year-old student arrested for bringing a homemade clock to school. Last month, Honda sent a letter to Attorney General Loretta Lynch calling on the Department of Justice to investigate Ahmed’s detention and arrest.
“It was an honor to stand beside Ahmed. He has shown true character in how he has taken a negative experience and used it to raise awareness on racial and ethnic profiling in our country. That’s why I called on the Attorney General to investigate the circumstances of his detention and arrest, so that we might find real solutions to ending these discriminatory practices,” said Congressman Honda. “Coming from my district in Silicon Valley, we know we are made better by our diversity – that it keeps us as the innovation and manufacturing capitol of the world.”
Ahmed Mohamed was arrested after he brought a homemade clock to school to show his teachers and was later accused of having a “hoax bomb.” In his letter to Attorney General Loretta Lynch of the Department of Justice, Honda and his colleagues expressed concern that “Ahmed was denied his civil rights…. And refused the right to speak to his father.”
Honda’s letter was signed by Reps. André Carson (IN-07) and Ketih Ellison (MN-05) as well as 26 of their colleagues in the U.S. House of Representatives.
More information about the letter can be found here, including support from outside groups. The full text of the letter is available here.

# Congressman Ron Paul Cosponsors "The Family Farm, Small Business and Home Tax Relief Act"

Congressman Ron Paul Cosponsors "The Family Farm, Small Business and Home Tax Relief Act"
    November 5, 2007
    For immediate release
Washington, DC - Congressman Ron Paul, has signed on to co-sponsor legislation that will give immediate estate tax relief so Americans will not lose the family farm, home, or small business when they experience a death in the family.
Currently, the estate tax is in year 6 of a slow 9 year phase out culminating in 2010 when the estate tax will be completely repealed. If no action is taken, in 2011 the estate tax will reset to pre-tax cut levels, which will mean estates worth more than $1 million (or close to that amount) will again be taxed at a rate of 55%.
Major provisions of The Family Farm, Small Business, and Home Tax Relief Act:
* Increase the estate tax exemption amount from $2 million (2007 levels) to $3.5 (indexed for inflation) million and holds the tax rate at 45%, thus implementing immediately the forthcoming 2009 estate tax levels.
* Exempt a small business or family farm up to $8 million (indexed for inflation) from calculation of estate tax value.
* Exempt one principle residence up to $2 million (indexed for inflation) from calculation of estate tax value.
* Repeals the generation skipping tax (GST) immediately. The GST is scheduled for repeal in 2010.
“It is patently un-American to tax workers all their lives on the fruits of their labor, and then still take sizeable chunks of what’s left at the end that rightfully belongs to their families. It is an insult to what this country stands for. When a family has just lost someone, it is not right that the government puts them out of their home, farm or business as well,” stated Congressman Paul.

WASHINGTON, D.C - Today, Rep. Ted W. Lieu (D-Los Angeles) released the following statement on the death of actor Leonard Nimoy. Mr. Nimoy died earlier today at his home in Bel Air, California. He was 83.
“Leonard Nimoy was an incredibly talented artist and contributed enormously to the Los Angeles community throughout his life. I was deeply saddened today to hear of his passing. Mr. Nimoy was a constituent of mine and a longtime resident of the 33rd District. I grew up watching Star Trek, and Mr. Nimoy’s iconic portrayal of Mr. Spock brought joy to millions of people worldwide. I also want to celebrate Mr. Nimoy’s work on behalf of the Jewish community. His memory will most certainly ‘live long and prosper.’ My thoughts and prayers are with his wife, Susan, his two children and six grandchildren at this difficult time.”
