October – 'Captain' James MacLaine (or Maclean), gentleman highwayman (born 1724) ( hanged at Tyburn) Johann Sebastian Bach [n 2] (31 March[ O.S. 21 March]1685–28 July 1750) was a German composer and musician of the late Baroque period. He is known for his orchestral music such as the Brandenburg Concertos; instrumental compositions such as the Cello Suites; keyboard works such as the Goldberg Variations and The Well-Tempered Clavier; organ works such as the Schubler Chorales and the Toccata and Fugue in D minor; and vocal music such as the StMatthew Passion and the Mass in Bminor. Since the 19th-century Bach revival, he has been generally regarded as one of the greatest composers in the history of Western music. [2] [3]

This study associated shift work with high risk for CVD using hs-CRP as the risk marker (Table 2). This result concurs with earlier reports [ 29, 30]. CRP is highly stable and allows for accurate measurements without special collection procedures [ 31]. CRP is an independent predictor that adds information to lipid screening and to the Framingham scores [ 31, 32]. CRP increases plasminogen activator inhibitor-1 (PAI-1) expression and activity. Increase PAI-1 indicates lowered plasminolysis and thus leads to atherogenesis [ 32]. CRP can also localize atherosclerotic lesions by promoting complement activation. Activated complement may provoke vasoconstriction of coronary vessels [ 33]. Bach broadened his composing and performing beyond the liturgy by taking over, in March 1729, the directorship of the Collegium Musicum, a secular performance ensemble started by Telemann. This was one of the dozens of private societies in the major German-speaking cities that were established by musically active university students; these societies had become increasingly important in public musical life and were typically led by the most prominent professionals in a city. In the words of Christoph Wolff, assuming the directorship was a shrewd move that "consolidated Bach's firm grip on Leipzig's principal musical institutions". [69] Every week the Collegium Musicum would give two-hour performances in winter at the Café Zimmermann, a coffeehouse on Catherine Street off the main market square; and during the summer months in the proprietor's outdoor coffee garden just outside the town walls, near the East Gate. The concerts, all free of charge, ended with Gottfried Zimmermann's death in 1741. Apart from showcasing his earlier orchestral repertoire such as the Brandenburg Concertos and Orchestral Suites, many of Bach's newly composed or reworked pieces were performed for these venues, including parts of his Clavier-Übung ( Keyboard Practice), his violin and keyboard concertos and of course the eponymous Coffee Cantata.

The flanking letters illustrate the arrangement on the seal.Why empires weaken and fall is complex and unique to each empire. Nomadic empires often weakened after their initial conquest because of their limited experience governing settled landed states or because they adapted so much to local customs and lost their fighting edge and distinctive identity. Also, with the rise of gunpowder weapons, nomads in particular lost their edge when horses were no longer the most important weapon on the battlefield.

The distribution of cumulative emissions around the world is shown in the treemap. Treemaps are used to compare entities (such as countries or regions) in relation to others, and relative to the total. Here countries are presented as rectangles and colored by region. The size of each rectangle corresponds to the sum of CO 2 emissions from a country between 1751 and 2017. Combined, all rectangles represent the global total.

The Ottoman Empire: A Muslim empire that ruled over a large territory that included parts of Europe, Asia, and Africa from the late 13th to the early 20th century. It was known for its use of artillery and its sophisticated system of government and administration. In 1717, Bach eventually fell out of favour in Weimar and, according to a translation of the court secretary's report, was jailed for almost a month before being unfavourably dismissed: "On November6, [1717], the quondam [former] concertmaster and organist Bach was confined to the County Judge's place of detention for too stubbornly forcing the issue of his dismissal and finally on December2 was freed from arrest with notice of his unfavourable discharge."

Bach was required to instruct the students of the Thomasschule in singing and provide church music for the main churches in Leipzig. He was also assigned to teach Latin but was allowed to employ four "prefects" (deputies) to do this instead. The prefects also aided with musical instruction. [61] A cantata was required for the church services on Sundays and additional church holidays during the liturgical year.
