The Longest Day is a sunrise-to-sunset event to raise funds for the care, support and research efforts of the Alzheimer’s Association. Held on June 21, 2014, the longest day of the year, this event asks participants to push themselves to complete approximately 16 hours of a consecutive activity – such as playing bridge. It’s one day to honor the strength and courage displayed by people with Alzheimer’s and their caregivers every day. Show your support by registering your club as an official “team”, donating to a bridge club team, participating in The Longest Day games – or all three! You’ll be honoring the more than 35 million people worldwide who are living with Alzheimer’s and countless caregivers who face this disease. And by playing bridge, you’ll show the world there is a fun game that may help slow the onset of this disease. When clubs register, they receive a toolkit with the following: • Team Captain Guide complete with fundraising, operations and event information. • Fliers to advertise the event to the community • Publicity tools to maximize exposure Go to http://www.acbl.org/play/thelongestday/ to find the information you need to participate.

  • Federation Report
    REPORT OF THE FEDERATIONS COMMITTEE The American Contract Bridge League has interaction with many federations in association with the participation of its members in world championships. The most well known of these, and the ones this report will mention, are the World Bridge Federation, the United States Bridge Federation, and the Canadian Bridge Federation. The Mexican Bridge Federation is also involved in such championships, but Mexico actually sends a team to world championships much less often than do the United States and Canada, and discussing their organization will add little to the discussion. The World Bridge Federation is the sponsoring body for all world championships, including the World Team Olympiad (each leap year), the World Bridge Championships (each even numbered non-leap year), the Bermuda Bowl and the Venice Cup (each odd numbered year), and such other championships as the Executive Council of the WBF shall authorize (see the By-Laws of the WBF, which are attached.) At present these championships regularly include Senior Championships and Junior Championships, which are usually held separately from the others. The WBF assumed this role beginning in 1978. The chief governing bodies of the WBF are a Congress and an Executive Council. The Executive Council consists of five members each from Zones 1 and 2 (Europe and the American Contract Bridge League), one member from each other zone, and the President of the WBF. The Congress consists of one member from each National Bridge Organization (NBO). The true power rests in the Executive Council. However, teams represent NBOs. In Europe, where individual countries belong to the European Bridge League, and where individual bridge players pay dues to their respective NBOs, the situation is relatively simple.

Following receipt of the feedback/submissions, NZ Bridge will undertake the review and will publish a summary of the inputs to and outcomes of the review. This paper has been prepared in order to provide background to and information on the current selection method. 2 Background The international bridge calendar can be considered as a 4-year cycle, comprising: 2.1 World Bridge events Year 1 (2017) World Bridge Teams Championship (Bermuda Bowl, Venice Cup, d’Orsi Trophy) Year 2 (2018) World Bridge Series (Rosenblum Cup, McConnell Cup, World Open Pairs, World Women’s Pairs) Year 3 (2019) World Bridge Teams Championship (Bermuda Bowl, Venice Cup, d’Orsi Trophy) Year 4 (2020) World Bridge Games (formerly known as Bridge Olympiad) New Zealand participates in the World Bridge Teams every 2 years providing that it can win one of the 2 slots available for the Zone 7 (South Pacific) region, comprising NZ, Australia, French Polynesia & New Caledonia.

  • MASCAGNI Overload Distortion
    111025 bk CavalleriaEU 28/10/05 13:29 Page 8 Producer’s Note Cavalleria was Callas’s third opera recording for EMI, and only her second with the La Scala forces. It shares a number of sonic shortcomings with her recording of I Puritani which immediately preceded it, particularly MASCAGNI overload distortion. The original engineering (uncredited, but probably by the same Italian staff responsible for Puritani working in the same venue) imparts a harsh, unpleasant tone to the voices, a fault which cannot entirely be mitigated in remastering. Some portions, like the Turiddu/Santuzza duet, were so badly recorded that it is a Cavalleria Rusticana wonder the set was passed for issue. Just a month later, EMI’s British engineering team was able to achieve markedly superior results in Callas’s classic Tosca recording. IA CAL Mark Obert-Thorn AR LA M S Mark Obert-Thorn Mark Obert-Thorn is one of the world’s most respected transfer artist/engineers. He has worked for a number of 195 ing specialist labels, including Pearl, Biddulph, Romophone and Music & Arts. Three of his transfers have been 3 Record nominated for Gramophone Awards. A pianist by training, his passions are music, history and working on projects. He has found a way to combine all three in the transfer of historical recordings. Obert-Thorn describes himself as a ‘moderate interventionist’ rather than a ‘purist’ or ‘re-processor,’ unlike those who apply significant additions and make major changes to the acoustical qualities of old recordings. His philosophy is that a good transfer should not call attention to itself, but rather allow the performances to be heard Maria Callas • Giuseppe Di Stefano with the greatest clarity.

  • 2014 Spring NABC Appeals Casebook Dallas, Texas Foreward
    2014 Spring NABC Appeals Casebook 2014 Spring NABC Appeals Casebook Dallas, Texas Foreward The appeal hearings and commentary descriptions are now being compiled and edited by the American Contract Bridge League. They are published on the ACBL web page. This internet publication is intended to be a tool to help improve the abilities of those serving on Appeals Committees and Tournament Directors and to communicate decisions and the process to arrive at those decisions to the membership at large. A total of eleven (11) cases were heard. Six (6) cases were from unrestricted (by masterpoints) North American Bridge Championship Events and were heard by a Committee of peers. The names of the players involved are included. Five (5) cases were from all other events and were heard by Panels (Committees) of Tournament Directors. The names of the players involved are included when the event from which the appeal came was a Flight A/X event or was the top bracket of a bracketed knockout event. When the names of the players are not used, the player’s masterpoint total is included. The cases are first presented without commentary. After the official Panel of commentators has had an opportunity to provide their commentary and any corrections to the cases, the commentary is added, corrections made and the internet publication is finalized. Everyone involved in this process is due praise for their efforts. Special thanks to the NABC Appeals Committee and the Tournament Directors serving on the Committees and Panels, the case scribes, and commentators. Without their considerable contribution of time and effort, this publication would not exist.
