Forexample, a section is "pi mosso". After let's say two pages, to make clear to the performer that he/she shouldn't slow down, can I write "sempre pi mosso"? With the intention of saying "you still have to play pi mosso!".

I'm not sure that I'd write in that sort of reminder for players to continue what they are already supposed to be doing. If they are professionals, they will do it anyway, or write their own reminders as needed. If they are students, their teachers will remind them, and encourage them to make a note to themselves in the score as necessary. But it feels more respectful to let the players make their own notes as needed, and it keeps the score cleaner. You are not their babysitter. It's part of the conductor's job to address these issues in rehearsal if necessary as well.


If you're really worried about it, I'd suggest making it abundantly clear in the original marking, instead of adding a reminder later. "Legato throughout," or "with a continuously restrained tempo to the end" or whatever.


The exception might be where a new part is entering, or re-entering the texture, and on first read through there could be a question of whether that entrance was also signaling a change in the character of the music. (Particularly for orchestra music where each player just has their own part and a few cues.) In which case, you could just repeat the original marking from the earlier section. But I still wouldn't mark it "still legato," or whatever. I'd just mark it "legato." Just feels tidier to me, and less patronizing. Probably not a big deal either way, though.


Well, here in Brazil, as "sempre" is also a portuguese word for "always" (but not for "again", or "still"), everybody tend to interprete it only as "always". I believe the same might happen in places where people speak Spanish or other romance languages.


If a new tempo is used for an extended period you might consider adding double bar lines to deliniate the section along with a new metronome marking. You can still mark the section as piu mosso, but now the musicians will not be confused, IF they were confused without the deliniation. You can still return to the slower tempo with 'a tempo primo' or similar.


SAN FRANCISCO, June 15, 2021 /PRNewswire/ -- Sempre Health, the leading solution for behavior-based healthcare pricing, announced today the closing of $15M in Series B financing. The funding round was led by the Blue Venture Fund - a unique collaboration among Blue Cross Blue Shield (BCBS) companies, the Blue Cross Blue Shield Association, and Sandbox, to which thirty-five BCBS companies have committed over $890 million across four funds. UPMC Enterprises and existing investors Rethink Impact, LifeForce Capital and Industry Ventures also participated. This round of funding will be used to advance Sempre's two-sided network of payors and pharma manufacturers nationwide and further grow the number of chronic disease patients Sempre can help better afford and access their medications. Unlike traditional coupons and cash card programs, Sempre aligns multiple healthcare stakeholders to dynamically adjust a patient's out-of-pocket costs at the point of fill, based on individual adherence and benefit design.


"Sempre sits at a key intersection between payors, pharma, and patients," said Matt Downs, Managing Director of the Blue Venture Fund. "We are excited to partner with Sempre as they are uniquely positioned to tackle the challenge of patient drug affordability and adherence."


Data from one of Sempre's programs with a large pharmaceutical company suggest that this unique position really pays off. Patients opted in to the Sempre program at industry-leading enrollment rates, with over one in three invited patients choosing to enroll. Over a two year period, enrolled patients who were offered incentives to refill and pick up their diabetes medications on time, saved on average $300 per year on their out-of-pocket costs and filled on time at a rate of 94 percent. These savings and on-time fills directly support improved patient health and better outcomes for Sempre's partners.


"We are thrilled to work with this accomplished group of healthcare investors who understand our partners, our marketplace, and our commitment to help people afford and take their medications as prescribed," said Anurati Mathur, CEO of Sempre Health. "The significance and value of Sempre's distinctive approach has only grown given the current economic crisis we are facing due to the COVID-19 pandemic. We look forward to working together with Blue Venture Fund and UPMC Enterprises as we embark on our next phase of growth and continue to fundamentally change medication affordability and access in the United States."

Nearly one-third of patients skip or delay filling prescriptions or taking medication because of cost. The prevalence of cost-related nonadherence to medications can dramatically affect health outcomes and is even higher following a significant medical event, such as a heart attack.


Since 2017, Sempre Health applied innovative technology to send text message reminders to UPMC Health Plan members who were taking a key cardiovascular drug. When members filled their prescriptions on time, they paid less for the medication.


Over the first year of the collaboration, the program successfully enrolled more than one-in-three eligible members and led to significant improvements in adherence versus a control group. Additionally, the natural language text reminders and conversations with members led to increased engagement by creating a personalized and concierge experience for those enrolled.


Founded in 2015, Sempre Health designs point-of-sale dynamic discounts and SMS-based engagement to incentivize healthy behaviors. Today, we work with health plans and pharma manufacturers to fundamentally change medication affordability and access across the US. For more information visit: www.semprehealth.com.

Although the 'musicking' humanity has been reliant on technology from the very beginning of its musical journey, we cannot deny that, nowadays, technology changes, develops, and its role is being redefined at a dramatically greater rate. This sempre conference aimed to celebrate technology's challenging role(s) and provide a platform for critical discourse and the presentation of scholarly work in the broader fields of digital technologies in:


The conference provided opportunities for colleagues to present and discuss ideas in a friendly and supportive environment, as well as to act as a meeting point for academics, scholars, teachers, and practitioners who are seeking to form connections and synergies with participants from around the world.


Lately my life has been abnormally busy. With lots of things to do, moving out to another house, lots of creating ideas to manifest, and obviously lots of thinking on ways to make you learn Portuguese faster.


Many people, including me and probably you as well, are itching to get outside, be social, go out with other people, and yes, many of them will be looking for other people to speak Portuguese and practice their language skills! Many will be willing to exchange Portuguese for English or another language you may speak.
