# Yasuhide Ito

**Yasuhide Ito** (伊藤 康英, *Itō Yasuhide*, born December 7, 1960 in Hamamatsu, Japan) is a contemporary Japanese composer.

## Early life

As a child, Ito began to cultivate his interest in music by taking piano lessons. He continued to pursue a musical education and, by his third year of high school, had composed his first piece of music for band, titled “On the March”. TRN Music Publisher published this work in 1978.

After high school, Ito attended and graduated with a major in composition from Tokyo National University of Fine Arts and Music (Class of 1986). During his time at Tokyo National University, Ito began to gain national and international acclaim for his work through his entrance in and winning of several musical competitions. Ito's awards include first prize at the Shizuoka Music Competition in 1980 for piano, third prize at the Japan Music Competition in 1982 for piano, an award at the Competition for Saxophone Music in 1987, and the Academy prize from the Band Masters Academic Society of Japan in 1994.

## Musical works

Yasuhide Ito has earned much praise for his compositional endeavors. In all, Ito is credited for more than 130 musical works. This collection of musical works includes pieces for wind ensemble, orchestra, instrumental chamber ensembles, solo voice, various solo wind instruments, piano, solo percussion, solo string instruments, and various other instruments such as organ, cembalo, accordion, and harmonica.

Ito is probably most well known as a composer of band music. Among his most popular works for wind ensemble are “Gloriosa” (Gururiyoza), world, and “Festal Scenes”, the piece which with Ito made his United States debut in 1987. This U.S. premiere took place during a joint convention between the American Band Association and the Japanese Band Association in Tennessee. Ito himself conducted the orchestra that premiered his piece.

Other notable pieces for wind ensemble by Ito are “The Symphony” (1990) and “Melodies for Wind Ensemble” (1995), both commissioned specially by the Tokyo Kosei Wind Orchestra. In recent years, Ito has dedicated much of his time and talent to composing vocal music. In the year 2001, Ito debuted his first opera, titled *Mr. Cinderella.* The opera received much critical acclaim and greatly impacted the followers of the Japanese opera scene.

## Career as a pianist

As well as having a career as a celebrated composer, Yasuhide Ito is a very well known pianist. He has performed as a soloist and alongside many widely recognized artists. Among these musicians are Trevor Wye, William Bennett, Steven Mead, Brian Bowman, Miura Toru, and Sugawa Nobuya.

## Career as a conductor

As a conductor, Yasuhide Ito has performed with many bands, including the Tokyo Kosei Wind Orchestra in their Asian Concert Tour in 2002, on behalf of Maestro Frederic Fennel. He was scheduled to perform with the Cal Poly Wind Orchestra (part of a music convention for gifted high school musicians) in April 2008.

## Other works

Ito's lectures about Japanese band music, given at two WASBE (World Association for Symphonic Bands and Ensembles) conventions, in 1995 and 1997, have been very influential in the world of band music.

Ito is the author of *Kangakki no Meikyoku Meienso* (*The Masterpieces and Great Performances of Wind Instruments*) and has translated Frank Erickson's *Arranging for Concert Band* into Japanese.

Ito is an active member of the Japanese Band Association and the Bandmasters Academic Society of Japan. He lectures at music conservatories in Japan on a regular basis.

**Marie desJardins** is an American computer scientist, known for her research on artificial intelligence and computer science education. She is also active in broadening participation in computing.

## Biography

DesJardins grew up in Columbia, Maryland. She received an A. B. in Engineering and Computer Science from Harvard University in 1985. She received a Ph.D in Computer Science from University of Berkeley in 1992.

In 1991 she joined SRI International, working in the Artificial Intelligence Center. In 2001 she joined the Department of Computer Science and Electrical Engineering at the University of Maryland, Baltimore County as an Assistant Professor. While there she was promoted to Associate Professor in 2007 and to Professor in 2011. In 2015, she was appointed Associate Dean for Academic Affairs in UMBC College of Engineering and Information Technology. She left UMBC in 2018 to become the Founding Dean of the College of Organizational, Computational, and Information Sciences at Simmons University in Boston.

## Career

DesJardins has explored the effect of the network topology on the efficiency of team formation in multi-agent systems, showing that scale-free networks are often the most effective topologies for facilitating team formation and leading to the development of learning methods for agents to adapt their behavioral strategies.

She has shown the first approach to trust modeling that explicitly separates the effect of competence (that is, the degree to which an agent is able to carry out its commitments) and integrity (that is, the degree to which an agent is actually committed to complete its part of a joint action) on decision making. This framework was later extended to incorporate reputation (indirect observations provided by third-party agents, with applications to online rating systems and supply chain formation.

In many domains, when a set of items is presented as a collection, interactions between the items may increase (due to complementarity) or decrease (due to redundancy or incompatibility) the quality of the set as a whole. Although this “portfolio effect” had occasionally been mentioned in the literature, this work was the first to address this problem a general way, by modeling the tradeoff between the “depth” of the set (i.e., which characteristics of the individual items are seen as more or less desirable) and its “diversity” (i.e., how broadly or narrowly distributed the objects in the set are over their possible range).

This work presented a heuristic method for taking advantage of taxonomies, or hierarchies of values, in Bayesian network learning by searching for the most effective level of abstraction within the taxonomy, discovering which distinctions are relevant for the input data, and ignoring the others. This process reduces the number of parameters that must be estimated, and simplifies the representation, while preserving the meaningful distinctions in the domain.

This paper, presenting comprehensive advice to help graduate students navigate the process of earning an M.S. or Ph.D. and develop strong mentoring relationships, has been circulated widely to graduate students around the world and has been translated into multiple languages. It has also been published in IAPPP Communications (Winter 1995, no. 58) and excerpted in SHPE (the official magazine of the Society of Hispanic Professional Engineers), Winter 2000, and in IEEE Potentials (August/ September 1996).

## Awards

In 2018, she became an AAAI Fellow and an AAAS Fellow in 2022.

# Plumb (singer)

**Tiffany Arbuckle Lee**, better known by her stage name **Plumb**, is an American singer-songwriter and author. Plumb has sold more than 500,000 albums and over two million singles worldwide, co-penned songs for numerous other artists, including Michelle Branch, Mandisa, Mandy Moore, Jaci Velasquez, and Natalie Grant, and had music placed in many films and television shows. Originally signed as a contemporary Christian music recording artist in 1997, Plumb is now known as well as or better in alternative rock and EDM, and for the use of her music in film and television than she is in the contemporary Christian music market.

## Career

Tiffany Arbuckle was born in Indianapolis but grew up in Atlanta, singing in church and school. She moved to Nashville one week before her 21st birthday, where she now resides, and worked as a background singer for a number of artists, including Bill Gaither and Amy Grant.

Plumb was originally formed in 1997 as a five-piece band that consisted of Arbuckle on vocals, Joe Porter on drums, Matt Stanfield on keyboards, J.J. Plasencio on bass guitar and Stephen Leiweke on guitar, with name, Plumb, coming from the Suzanne Vega song "My Favorite Plum". Following Silvertone Records affiliate Essential Records mainstream alternative radio success with its debut artist Jars of Clay in 1995, the label signed Plumb as its second artist. When Arbuckle was urged to write, she turned to Matt Bronleewe—an original member of Jars of Clay who happened to be her next-door neighbor—and the two hit it off. The debut album, *Plumb*, was released in 1997. Plumb has said subsequently that the addition of the letter "B" to the end was the idea of her producer Matt Bronleewe and, in her mind, also represents Bronleewe's important contribution to her sound.

In 1999, Plumb released a second studio album, *Candycoatedwaterdrops*, which won the 2000 Gospel Music Association Dove Award for "Modern Rock Album of the Year". Three tracks from it were later covered by other artists; "Stranded" and "Here with Me" by Jennifer Paige and, in 2001, "Damaged" by Plummet. Though the album won the DOVE Award for Best Modern Rock Album in 2000, and saw strong radio success with the single "God-Shaped Hole", the subject matter and approach of much of Plumb's music was often considered too dark and taboo for the mainstream Christian marketplace. Plumb's tendency to write songs about deeply personal issues, such as international hit "Cut" which addressed cutting, and "Damaged" which addressed a girl coping with being molested as a child, led to more enthusiastic reception by fans of alternative and dance music. Fueling the break from contemporary Christian music, "Cut" was also used prominently during a pivotal scene in the storyline of *The Vampire Diaries* in the 10th episode of season 1, "The Turning Point". Later in 1999, all band members left the band, and since that time Plumb became a solo project of Tiffany Arbuckle.

Plumb considered leaving the music industry after the 2000 album, but changed her mind after receiving a note from a fan a few hours before what she thought to be her final concert. The letter was about her song "Damaged" about a girl coping with being molested as a child. The note said "Whatever you do, I just want you to never forget that you have changed someone's life," which inspired Plumb to remain in the music industry. She signed to Curb Records in 2003, releasing the album *Beautiful Lumps of Coal* on March 25, 2003. The lead single, "Real", peaked at No. 41 on the UK Singles Chart. Her next album, *Chaotic Resolve*, entered the *Billboard* 200 album chart at No. 177 on March 9, 2006. "Better" reached No. 1 on the U.S. Christian airplay chart. The Bronleewe & Bose remix of her follow-up "Cut", hit No. 1 on SiriusXM's dance hits channel BPM, and No. 5 on *Billboard'*s Hot Dance Club Songs chart.

Shortly after the birth of her second child, Plumb recorded her fifth album, *Blink*, as a collection of lullaby inspired songs. It was released on October 9, 2007, immediately becoming one of her best selling and most enduring albums to date. Lead single "In My Arms" was used in conjunction with key plot narratives for both *Vampire Diaries* and *One Tree Hill*, and became Plumb's biggest international hit to date, selling close to half a million singles in both the United States and Russia. "In My Arms" received remixes by Kaskade, Scotty K, Bronleewe & Bose, Gomi, and Bimbo Jones, with the latter reaching the No. 3 spot on the *Billboard* Dance chart.

On May 19, 2009, Curb Records announced that it would release a career-spanning greatest hits album, *Beautiful History*, which was released later in the year and included several new songs. The first single from Beautiful History, "Hang On", reached No. 1 on the *Billboard* Hot Dance Club Play chart in 2009 and reached the top spot on *Billboard'*s Hot Dance Airplay chart in 2010.

Plumb returned to the studio in 2010 with longtime producer and co-writer Matt Bronleewe to begin work on what would become her 6th studio album, while also changing management and signing with alternative boutique firm Street Talk Media. The debut single from the project, "Drifting", a co-penned duet with longtime friend Dan Haseltine (of Jars of Clay), spread quickly across Christian rock radio. The second single, "Need You Now (How Many Times)", went to contemporary Christian music radio in early 2012 and has become Plumb's most successful single to date in that market, rising to number to No. 1 on multiple radio and iTunes charts in both the United States and Canada by year's end. The single has remained in regular rotation nationwide for well over a year, selling close to 300,000 singles on iTunes to date, and is BDS certified at over 100,000 radio spins. The album *Need You Now* was released worldwide in February 2013, charting at a career-best No. 56 on the *Billboard* 200 chart and No. 2 on Christian album charts. The album received five Dove Award nominations including Song of the Year and Contemporary/Pop Album of the Year. With her children now all at least grade school age, and with the massive success of Need You Now, 2012 and 2013 saw the most aggressive touring of her entire career, playing major festivals throughout 2012 and 2013, embarking on her first and largely sold-out headlining tour in the fall of 2013, and joining the massive Winterjam arena tour for November 2013-14.

Plumb released her seventh studio album, *Exhale*, on May 4, 2015.

Plumb left Curb Records in early 2017 to form her own label, Plumb Music, and released her first single "God Help Me" in July 2017. The song was one of six tracks included on the EP *God Help Me* in late 2017. She followed it up with the album *Beautifully Broken* in June 2018 on Centricity Music.

Following the No. 1 chart successes of "In My Arms", "Hang On", and "Cut", Plumb has been increasingly sought-after in the dance and electronic world. In 2011, she collaborated with trance DJ Paul Van Dyk on "I Don't Deserve You", playing several shows with Van Dyk, and filming a music video together in middle Tennessee. Plumb's original version and recording of the song would be included on her sixth studio album, *Need You Now*, and featured in episode 5x02 of *Vampire Diaries*.

## Personal life

Plumb has three children with her ex-husband, Jeremy Lee.

She is single per her Facebook post, saying "My faith and my children. They are everything to me. I never imagined being a single mom to them. I never imagined being single at all after they came along. I had an image in my head that the man I was married to and I growing old together and dying together like that scene in the notebook. I never imagined being the priest in my home. By myself. Things don't always turn out the way we plan and it has taken me a very long almost 34 months now of learning that."

**GMT Games** is a California-based wargaming publisher founded in 1990. The company has become well known for graphically attractive games that range from "monster games", of many maps and counters, to quite simple games suitable for introducing new players to wargaming. They also produce card games and family games. The current management and creative team includes Tony Curtis, Rodger MacGowan, Mark Simonitch, and Andy Lewis.

## History

GMT's name comes from the first name initials of founders Gene Billingsley, Mike Crane, and Terry Shrum. Crane and Shrum later left GMT and founded the Fresno Gaming Association.

In the 1990s GMT pioneered a pre-order system called "Project 500" or "P500", where customers pre-order a title and production does not begin until a set minimum of orders had been reached. This system has been adopted by other wargame publishers. GMT was successful during the 1990s, when other war game publishers were failing, which has been credited in part to their innovative P500 system.

GMT is known for publishing the COIN series of games, which started with *Andean Abyss: Insurgency and Counterinsurgency in Colombia* by Volko Ruhnke, a CIA instructor. Most COIN titles feature four playable factions commanding guerrilla forces or conventional military forces, both trying to win the hearts and minds of the local population. The games focus on historical conflicts such as the Cuban Revolution, Vietnam War, Gallic Wars, American Revolution, War in Afghanistan, and others.

GMT's best-known game may be *Twilight Struggle,* a card-driven strategy game about the global Cold War. In 2018, GMT began creating Windows and mobile adaptations for some of their titles, including *Twilight Struggle* and *Labyrinth: The War on Terror*.

GMT was about to publish *Scramble for Africa* in 2019, but pulled the title after controversy erupted about its subject matter.

*The Washington Post* called GMT "the modern hobby's highest-profile wargame publisher" and characterized P500 as a "Kickstarter before Kickstarter that allowed fans to vote with their wallets on which GMT games should come to market". *Wargamer Magazine* called them a "house-name in table-top wargaming". *VICE News* said they published "some of the best wargame design of the last twenty years."

## Published games

Some of the better-known games produced by GMT Games include:

* *18XX* series - strategy economic board games about railway construction and investing in railroad companies.
* *Battle Line*
* *Chandragupta*
* *COIN* series - a card-driven action board game series based on counterinsurgency and irregular warfare.
* *Combat Commander* series - a card-drive game, simulating tactical warfare usually in World War 2.
* *Commands & Colors: Ancients* \- a block game with card-driven action, based upon tactical combat in the Classical Period.
* *Dominant Species*
* *Down in Flames* series of air combat cards games that includes *Rise of the Luftwaffe* and *Eighth Air Force*
* *Europe Engulfed*
* *Fields of Fire*
* *Here I Stand*
* *Labyrinth: The War on Terror, 2001 – ?*
* *MBT* series - wargame series that is modeling the hypothetical clash set in 1987 between US and Soviet forces in Germany. Later expansion added British, West German, and Canadian forces.
* *Next War* series - wargame series that is based on hypothetical war on modern times.
* *Panzer* series - a detailed, tactical-level, World War II game based in the European theater, currently with 4 expansion sets.
* *Paths of Glory*
* *Space Empires 4X*
* *Sword of Rome*
* *SPQR*
* *Twilight Struggle -* card-driven board game, based on the Cold War.
* *Wing Leader* series - aerial combat wargames series with side-scrolling views, mainly based on World War II era aircraft.

# Schlumbergera lutea

***Schlumbergera lutea***, synonym ***Hatiora epiphylloides***, is a species of flowering plant in the family Cactaceae, subfamily Cactoideae, native to southeast Brazil. It is a shrubby epiphyte, with flattened stems and bright yellow flowers.

## Description

*Schlumbergera lutea* is an epiphyte, with a shrubby growth habit and often pendant stems. The stems are made up of somewhat triangular segments, 2–3 cm (0.8–1.2 in) long and up to 1.5 cm (0.6 in) wide. It has very small areoles that are without spines. The flowers are bright yellow, 1–2 cm (0.4–0.8 in) long.

## Taxonomy

The species was first described in 1935, as *Rhipsalis epiphylloides*. It was transferred to the genus *Hatiora* in 1983. The generic boundaries within the tribe to which it belongs, Rhipsalideae, have long been unclear. On the basis of a molecular phylogenetic study in 2011, the species was transferred to the genus *Schlumbergera*. Since the name "*Schlumbergera epiphylloides*" had already been used for a different species, Calvente and Zappi published the replacement name *Schlumbergera lutea*.

## Distribution

*Schlumbergera lutea* is found in southeast Brazil, around Rio de Janeiro and São Paulo.

title: Mödling and Hinterbrühl Tram

abstract: Mödling and Hinterbrühl Tram or Mödling and Hinterbrühl Local Railway was an electric tramway in Austria, running 4.5 km (2.8 mi) from Mödling to Hinterbrühl, in the southwest of Vienna. The gauge was 1,000 mm (3 ft 3+3⁄8 in) metre gauge. Opened in October 1883, it was the first tram and railway in the world that was run with electricity delivered by an overhead line in permanent service. It was the first electric tram and railway in Austria, and it was the second one installed for definitive service. The operation ceased in March 1932. The approval had been granted by the k.k. Ministry of Commerce in 1882. The tram was built and run by the Südbahngesellschaft that operated the main line from Vienna to Trieste, including the standard gauge railway station at Mödling. Electric traction operating at 550 volts DC was chosen. As for lack of space, parts of the trackway had to be laid on public roads. The metre gauge single track rail of the tram had several turnouts. The overhead line was bipolar and consisted of two downwards open tubes, in which the two pantographs hang like aerial trams. This technique had been introduced by Ernst Werner von Siemens in his experimental Electromote trolleybus concept. After a test on October 18, 1883, the regular service in the first section between Mödling and Vorderbrühl Valley started on October 22, 1883. As a condition for permitting the traffic through the narrow part of the valley in 1884, the authorities ordered the availability of a steam engine as emergency traction. In 1885, the line was completed to Hinterbrühl. In 1903, the line was modernized and the bipolar overhead line was replaced by a unipolar wire. The new contact supplies were bow collectors. Since 1912, the revenues exceeded the expenses. In 1927 a bus service was installed in the valley. The competition became precarious for both. In 1923, the Austrian Ministry for Trade and Traffic decided that the tramline had to be closed down. The last tram on the line ran on March 31, 1932.

***Platinum Blonde*** is the self-titled debut EP by Platinum Blonde released in 1983. The EP was only released on vinyl and cassette and is also known as *Six Track Attack*. It reached a high of #65 on the Canadian RPM charts in early 1984, before being subsequently re-released with four additional tracks as the full-length *Standing in the Dark* album in 1984.

## Background and writing

In 1983, following the formation of their new band, Platinum Blonde recorded a 7-song demo tape in a friend's living room and sent it to English producer David Tickle who expressed immediate interest in the project. The next week they met at Metalworks studios just outside Toronto to begin recording and within three weeks produced a 6-song EP of new wave rock. CBS Records Canada then picked up the EP and the first single "Doesn't Really Matter" was released to Canadian radio in the fall of 1983. It became the fastest selling debut by a Canadian artist in the label's history at the time, peaking at #39 on the Canadian album charts.

The resulting attention allowed the band to return to the studio with Tickle and record four more songs to make a complete album called *Standing in the Dark* which was then released in early 1984.

Platinum Blonde is re-issuing its self-titled six-song EP from 1983 on vinyl. Date is not yet revealed.

# Pietro Tamburini

**Pietro Tamburini** (1 January 1737 – 14 March 1827) was an Italian theologian and jurist. He openly espoused Jansenism as a university professor.

## Biography

Pietro was born in Brescia and was educated by local priest, including the Dominican friar Pavoni, and later at seminary, by the Theatine father Scarella, who had Jansenist leanings. Tamburini was ordained a priest in 1760. Under the patronage of the Bishop of Brescia, later Cardinal, Giovanni Molin, he was appointed professor of metaphysics at the Brescian episcopal seminary. In 1771, he published a treatise on grace, *De summa catholicae de gratia Christi doctrinae praestantia, utilitate, necessitate, dissertatio cum thesibus de variis humanae naturae statibus et de gratia Christi*, in which he attacked the Jesuits. Initially published in Brescia, it was reprinted in Rome in 1773 and Florence in 1776, later throughout Europe. Bishop Molin under pressure by the Jesuits, by the local parish priests and by his own vicar general, dismissed Tamburini from his chair at the end of 1772.

Thus in 1773, Tamburini moved to Rome and due to the help of Cardinal Mario Marefoschi, he obtained the post at the Collegio Irlandese, where the theologian Luigi Cuccagni also taught. There he befriended fellow Jansenists, Giovanni Gaetano Bottari, Pier Francesco Foggini, Scipione de' Ricci, Giovanni Cristoforo Amaduzzi, Paolo del Mare, Giuseppe Zola, and Francesco Alpruni. During the meetings of the circle, which took the name of "Circolo dell'Archetto", Tamburini circulated pages of a philosophical-theological treatise. However, with the untimely death of Pope Clement XIV and the ascension to the papal throne of Pius VI, the papal policy became hostile to Jansenism.

Empress Maria Theresa of Austria, who had been lobbied by Giuseppe Zola, long-time friend, recruited Tamburini to occupy the chair of moral theology at the University of Pavia, where Zola taught Church History. Tamburini was also appointed Prefect of Studies at the Austro-Hungarian College, today Collegio Cairoli, and published numerous texts, both of theology and defense of the liberal Habsburg rule in Lombardy.

In 1786 Scipione Ricci invited him to the Diocesan Synod of Pistoia; many theses adopted by this synod aimed at a Jansenist reform of the Church, and were subsequently condemned in 1794 by Pius VI in the recurring bull Auctorem fidei. With the death of Emperor Joseph II in 1790, the turbulence of the French Revolution, led the new reactionary Austrian government to expel Tamburini from the University of Pavia in 1794. With the arrival of rule by Napoleon, he was rewarded "Knight of the Order of the Iron Crown", and in 1797 he was called there to teach a chair of moral philosophy and natural law. The following years were turbulent with changing administrations. This chair was suppressed in 1798, but restored in 1801, and kept by Tamburini till 1818, when he was appointed dean of the faculty of law. Among his works:

* *Idea della Santa Sede* (Pavia, 1784), in which he opposed papal infallibility, while maintaining its supremacy
* *Introduzione allo studio della filosofia* (Milan, 1797)
* *Lezioni di filosofia morale, e di naturale e sociale diritto* (4 vols., Pavia, 1806–12)
* *Elementa Juris Naturae* (Milan, 1815)
* *Cenni sulla perfettibilita dell' umana famiglia* (Milan, 1823).
* *La Storia generale dell'Inquisizione*

title: ING4

abstract: Inhibitor of growth protein 4 is a protein that in humans is encoded by the ING4 gene.

text:
# ING4

**Inhibitor of growth protein 4** is a protein that in humans is encoded by the *ING4* gene.

## Function

The protein encoded by this gene is similar to ING1, a tumor suppressor protein that can interact with TP53, inhibit cell growth, and induce apoptosis. This protein contains a PHD-finger, which is a common motif in proteins involved in chromatin remodeling. This protein can bind TP53 and EP300/p300, a component of the histone acetyl transferase complex, suggesting its involvement in the TP53-dependent regulatory pathway. Alternatively spliced transcript variants have been observed, but the biological validity of them has not been determined.

## Interactions

ING4 has been shown to interact with EP300, RELA and P53.

# Peter Baskett

**Peter John Firth Baskett** (1934–2008) was a Northern Irish physician, specializing in anaesthesia. He was responsible for the introduction of paramedics into the United Kingdom, created specialist ambulances for delivering on-scene pain relief to patients, and was the first chairman of the European Resuscitation Council.

## Early life

Baskett was born in Northern Ireland on 26 July 1934. His father, Sir Ronald Gilbert Baskett, was professor and Dean of the Faculty of Agriculture at Queen's University, Belfast and Peter was brought up on a 1000 acre research farm in Hillsborough, County Down. He attended Belfast Royal Academy and Campbell College, Belfast. He then studied medicine at Queens' College, Cambridge, for his pre-clinical studies, then finished his degree at Queen's University, Belfast, where he graduated with MB BCh BAO in 1958.

## Career

He did his house jobs at the Royal Victoria Hospital, Belfast which included some time in Accident & Emergency medicine. An opportunity then arose for him to spend a spell as a Lecturer in physiology. He took this on and also worked as a locum in general practice both in rural practices as well as in Belfast.

He then began to explore the possibility of specialising in anaesthesia. He had watched anaesthetists at work and had administered the mandatory anaesthetics as a medical student. He approached the late Professor John Dundee who appointed him to a post in his department. Baskett then travelled to London but, instead of doing the surgical primary fellowship as had been his original intention, he sat the anaesthetic primary fellowship going on to acquire the fellowship of the Faculty of Anaesthetists of the Royal College of Surgeons (FFARCS) in 1963.

In Belfast, he had a wide experience in many aspects of medicine, including general medicine, the early days of cardiac surgery and early intensive care. In particular, he became involved with the management of tetanus which in the rural areas was not uncommon. All of this work, however, was somewhat run-of-the- mill and he felt the need for a more academic environment. His search for a post offering a wider scope for his interests led him, in 1962, to Bristol where he was appointed registrar. In 1964, he became a senior registrar and in 1966 he was appointed consultant anaesthetist to the Bristol group of hospitals. Later that year, his friend and colleague (John Zorab) was also appointed consultant and thus began a friendship, professional and personal, that lasted until the death of John Zorab in 2006. They devised a "primary FFA course" calling on the teaching skills of many of the consultants in the Bristol area. Several years later this gave rise to a joint course with the College of Medicine in the University of Wales in Cardiff and, later still to a final FFA course.

However, while all this was going on, Baskett had turned his mind to the practical aspects of providing a resuscitation service within the hospital. At the beginning, he arranged for a resuscitation box to be located on every acute ward. This was a simple cardboard box strapped to a board - the intention being that the board could be placed under the patient's back to make external cardiac massage more effective. The boxes were located in the entrance lobby to each of the main wards. A few defibrillators were located within 'running distance' of each acute ward. 'Bleeps' had just been introduced and Baskett soon introduced the concept of a 'Resuscitation Registrar' and a hospital-wide emergency telephone number.

Baskett had, for some time, had a major interest in the use of Entonox (premixed nitrous oxide and oxygen) in pain relief. This was a major innovation. This step marked what was probably the beginning of Baskett's most important contribution to healthcare: the provision of prehospital care by specially trained ambulance personnel. Nurses and physiotherapists had been using Entonox for some years but by equipping ambulance personnel to use it, a potent form of pain relief would be available to those who were always the first on scene. Baskett approached the Chief Ambulance Officer for the Gloucestershire Ambulance Brigade, Alan Withnell.

The ambulance personnel welcomed with open arms the idea that they might be able to provide rather more than the first aid to the patients who came under their care. Baskett approached the British Oxygen Company (BOC), who were supportive and agreed to make Entonox apparatus available for training. A regular programme of training sessions began at Frenchay hospital and after a reasonable number of individuals had been trained, a pilot study was run by the Gloucestershire Ambulance Service in which ambulances were crewed by a driver and one of the new, highly trained ambulance men. The results of this trial were published in 1970. The training sessions for ambulance personnel were very time consuming and another solution had to be found. At that time many educationalists were exploring the potential for using audio-tape combined with slides as a learning medium. With funding from BOC, a tape/slide programme was made by Baskett, John Zorab and Alan Withnell. This was a great help as several copies of the "pack" were made and they could be shown in any ambulance station in the country. So the number of trained personnel began to increase and it was not long before other ambulance services joined in. Some years later, the programme received government backing and was commended to all ambulances services in the United Kingdom (UK). Baskett's idea brought on-scene pain relief to thousands of patients every year.

He soon reasoned that if ambulance crews could be trained to provide Entonox for pain relief, there must be much more that they could learn and do. Thus, having been established in the United States by Leonard Cobb and others, the concept of the paramedic began to flourish in the UK. In order to facilitate training in Bristol, the Gloucestershire ambulance service agreed to base a specifically-equipped ambulance at Frenchay hospital. Baskett visited the manufacturers in Manchester and, together they designed a modified ambulance body with facilities for oxygen administration, ECG recording and Entonox. This first vehicle became known as the Mobile Resuscitation Unit (MRU) and was based in a small, specifically-built garage adjacent to the emergency department at Frenchay Hospital. His idea was that, when not actually out on a call, the ambulance personnel having higher training could work in the emergency department. Furthermore, if an emergency call of sufficient seriousness came in, an emergency physician or an anaesthetist could accompany the crew and provide on-scene spot training.

Frank Pantridge had established a doctor-manned prehospital coronary care service in 1967 and Douglas Chamberlain equipped ambulances in Brighton with defibrillators and trained ambulance personnel to use them. Baskett travelled extensively learning about other pre-hospital care schemes in other countries such as Germany and Denmark. Meanwhile, general practitioners (primary care doctors) with strong leadership from Kenneth Easton, were founding GP-based-schemes which, in due course, led to the foundation of the British Association for Immediate Care Schemes (BASICS). Baskett was a founder member of this organisation and was later Chairman. He was also a founder member of the Community Resuscitation Advisory Committee (CRAC). The constitution of this committee was amended in May 1984 giving rise to the Resuscitation Council (UK) \- the first Resuscitation Council in Europe. Five years later, Peter was one of the Founding Members of the European Resuscitation Council (ERC) and, in August 1989, at the first Executive Committee meeting of the ERC, he was elected chairman.

As a member of the International Liaison Committee on Resuscitation (ILCOR) from 1995 to 2000, Baskett developed the international guidelines on airway management during resuscitation, and healthcare professionals across the world respected his expertise on this subject. In 1994, he published one of the first studies on the use of the laryngeal mask airway for in-hospital resuscitation. In 2005, in recognition of Baskett's contributions to resuscitation the American Heart Association awarded him as a 'Resuscitation Giant'.

## Other roles

President of the Association of Anaesthetists of Great Britain and Ireland (1990 - 1992), BASICS (1981 - 85), the United Services section of the Royal Society of Medicine (1997–99), the World Association for Emergency and Disaster Medicine (1989–93), the ERC (1989–94), the International Trauma Anaesthsia and Critical Care Society (1995–98), the Triservice Society of Anaesthetists of the South Western Region (1997–98).

Baskett had a long-standing interest in motor sport. In the 1950s he raced minis and was appointed as Chief Medical Officer to Castle Combe circuit in 1968, a position he held until 1995. Following his death in 2008, the Medical Centre at Castle Combe Race Circuit was re-named 'The Peter Baskett Medical Centre'.

In 1983, Baskett joined the Medical Section of the Territorial Army (RAMC). In 1987 he was promoted to the rank of Lt. Colonel and in 1992 was made Colonel and Commanding Officer of 219 Wessex Field Hospital.

Baskett was Editor-in-Chief of the journal *Resuscitation* from 1997 - 2008.
