  Jacopo Peri - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
Jacopo Peri (August 20, 1561 – August 12, 1633) was an Italian composer and singer of the transitional period between the Renaissance and Baroque styles, and is often called the inventor of opera.
Peri was probably born in Rome, but studied in Florence with Cristofano Malvezzi, and went on to work in a number of churches there, both as an organist and as a singer.
Peri and Corsi brought in the poet Ottavio Rinuccini to write a text, and the result, Dafne, though nowadays thought to be a long way from anything the Greeks would have recognised, is seen as the first work in a new form, opera.

 PERI GmbH, Projects - Formwork Construction - Hotel Marques de Riscal, Elciego, Spain   (Site not responding. Last check: 2007-10-21)
From the construction of the foundations right up to the assembly of the 1,800 m² titanium roof area, PERI Spain supplied the formwork for walls and slabs, the required shoring systems as well as safe working platforms.
At the same time, the all-round utilisation of the PERI UP Rosett modular scaffold system provided considerable on-site advantages: as shoring for formwork operations and afterwards as working scaffold for roof assembly, all scaffolding tasks could be carried out cost-effectively with a single system.
A three-dimensional erection plan created by the PERI engineers and the modular structure of the PERI UP scaffolding system made it possible that, in spite of the irregularly curved and twisted roof surfaces, problem-free assembly work could be carried out.

This is especially important if you've begun skipping periods, as there is a chance that what you're experiencing isn't plain old perimenopause, but rather the onset of premature ovarian failure or early menopause.
Problem is, since in peri, your hormones can fluctuate a great deal so there's a chance that when you get your blood drawn for a hormone test, your levels will appear completely normal even though you certainly don't feel normal.
The key with treating perimenopausal symptoms is focused on maintaining quality of life, not replacing hormones to forestall problems women with POF or EM face due to extended exposure to low estrogen.

With great soloists (lead by the incomparable Barbara Bonney as the Peri), a disciplined choir, and a "period" orchestra, Gardiner's recording of Schumann's "Paradis and the Peri" is a triumph in every way.
And the works themselves richly deserve to be heard, particularly the spectacular "Paradise and the Peri," which is Schumann at his best; despite the somewhat quaint period flavor of the text, the evocative nature of the music makes this an oratorio that deserves more than to be trotted out as a curiosity.
