# Urban Griot

***Urban Griot*** is an album by Billy Taylor, featuring tracks recorded in 2000 and released by Soundpost Records.

## Recording and music

The album was recorded at Manhattan Center Studios, New York, on November 13 and December 9, 2000. Pianist Taylor's trio for the recording contained bassist Chip Jackson and drummer Winard Harper. The ten pieces were written as pedagogical material for the Wharton Center for Performing Arts at Michigan State University. Some have melodies that use fourths; others are based on rhythms that would be familiar to students. "Local Color / Can You Dig It?" uses rhythms similar to those found in hip hop; "Reclamation" is a waltz; and "Gracias Chucho" contains Latin rhythms. One track, "Spoken", is a spoken-word dedication to a dead child.

Taylor said that he regarded his role as an educator to be like that of a griot, explaining the album's title: "I am like an urban griot, bringing a sense of history and continuity to teaching music."

## Release and reception

*Urban Griot* was released by Soundpost on August 28, 2001. The AllMusic reviewer concluded that, of the albums in Taylor's catalog, "this recording should be one of the first acquired". The *JazzTimes* reviewer expressed admiration for Taylor's piano playing, but wrote that the spoken-word track "comes out like an awkward public-service announcement and breaks the vibe".

# Lenka Serdar

**Lenka Slezak Serdar** (born 21 July 1997) is a Czech-American ice hockey player and member of the Czech national team. She was signed with the Connecticut Whale of the now defunct Premier Hockey Federation (PHF) for the 2022–23 season.

Serdar represented the Czech Republic at the 2021 IIHF Women's World Championship and in the women's ice hockey tournament at the 2022 Winter Olympics in Beijing.

## Playing career

Serdar grew up playing ice hockey in and around her home town of Lexington, Massachusetts in the Greater Boston area. During the 2013–14 season, she began playing in the Junior Women's Hockey League (JWHL) with the North American Hockey Academy (NAHA) major junior team, called NAHA White, based in Wellesley, Massachusetts. In her senior year of high school, she relocated to the North American Hockey Academy academic campus in Stowe, Vermont and served as alternate captain to NAHA White. She led the team in scoring during the 2014–15 season, with 11 goals and 27 points in 28 games, and was selected to participate in the JWHL All Star game.

### NCAA

Her college ice hockey career was played with the Cornell Big Red women's ice hockey program in the ECAC Hockey and Ivy League conferences of the NCAA Division I. As a rookie in the 2015–16 season, Serdar notched 1 goal and 7 points in 31 games, ranking fourth of all Big Red freshman in points. The following season, 2016–17, she earned a reputation as a reliable two-way forward, ranking eighth on the team for points, with 13 (3+10), second of all team forwards for blocked shots, with 33, and accumulating the second-highest face-off win percentage, at .535. She earned praise from Cornell head coach Doug Derraugh for her versatility, focus, and skill set. Continuing to develop her offensive game, she recorded 5 goals and 18 points in 33 games in her junior season, 2017–18, and was a 2018 All-Ivy Honorable Mention. Her senior campaign, 2018–19, was her most offensively successful and saw her rank third on the team for goals, with 12, and fifth on the team for points, with 25 in 36 games. During her time at Cornell, Serdar played alongside many future stars of international and professional women’s ice hockey, including Jaime Bourbonnais, Amy Curlew, Sarah Knee, Taylor Woods, and Micah Zandee-Hart.

### Europe

To continue playing ice hockey after college, Serdar relocated to Europe in 2019. She signed with ECDC Memmingen of the German Women's Ice Hockey Bundesliga (DFEL) for the 2019–20 season and led the team in scoring with 26 goals and 49 points in 21 regular season games. In the 2019–20 regular season of the EWHL Supercup, she led all ECDC Memmingen players with six goals and 10 points in 8 games; however, the team withdrew from the Final 4 Tournament and did not contend for the Supercup, being replaced by the fifth-ranked EHV Sabres.

Serdar signed with HC Příbram of the Czech Women’s Hockey Extraliga for the 2020–21 season. The season was significantly delayed due to the COVID-19 pandemic; ultimately, HC Příbram could play only four regular season games. Serdar was explosive in the limited season, leading the league in goals (9), assists (9), and points (18).

When the Extraliga playoffs were cancelled, she sought other opportunities to play and opted to sign with TPS Naiset of the Finnish Naisten Liiga through the end of the 2020–21 season and playoffs. Despite playing in five regular season games, she ranked 20th in the league for scoring, notching three goals and 6 points. In the playoff quarterfinals, sixth-seed TPS faced third-seed HIFK Naiset in a best-of-three series. TPS tallied only two goals in the series, and Serdar played a part in both, assisting on captain Elina Heikkinen’s goal and potting an empty net goal of her own in the second game.

Ahead of the 2021–22 season, Serdar signed a two-season contract with Linköping HC of the Swedish Women's Hockey League (SDHL). In a press release announcing the signing, she noted that she was motivated to play in Sweden because she "heard that the SDHL is the best league in Europe… It’s an Olympic year, so it’s an important year and an important season. So I wan’t to play the best hockey possible."

## International play

As a junior player, Serdar was invited to and attended several under-18 development camps hosted by USA Hockey.

She first played with the Czech national team after moving to Germany in 2019, appearing in international friendlies during the 2019–20 and 2020–21 seasons. Her major tournament debut was the 2021 IIHF Women's World Championship, and she has stated her desire to qualify for and play in the Olympic Games with the Czech national team.

## Personal life

Serdar is a dual citizen of the Czech Republic and the United States. Both her mother, Alena Slezak and her father, Luka Serdar, were born in the Czech Republic (then part of Czechoslovakia). Though she was raised in the United States, she has described her upbringing as very Czech, “All four \[of my\] grandparents were Czech. Even in America, we followed Czech customs, ate Czech food, and spoke Czech.” She has two older siblings, Luka and Petra.

She attended Lexington High School during her first three years of secondary school, where she was a three-year honor roll member and a ten-time letter winner across three sports, ice hockey, lacrosse, and soccer.

# Théâtre de la Michodière

The **Théâtre de la Michodière** is a theatre building and performing arts venue, located at 4 bis, rue de La Michodière in the 2nd arrondissement of Paris. Built by Auguste Bluysen in 1925 in Art Deco style, it has a tradition of showing boulevard theatre.

## History

On the site of the Hotel de Lorge, sold in lots, the rue de la Michodiere opened in 1778. Around the place where the Gaillon gate stood at the enclosure of Louis XIII, in 1925, the architect Auguste Bluysen built a theatre in the Art Deco style. Decorated by Jacques-Émile Ruhlmann, the red and gold auditorium could accommodate 800 spectators, but in the 21st century, it has only 700 seats left.

Unlike the West End, where the activities of "bricks and mortar" and producers tend to be separate, Parisian commercial theatres are producing houses. Management decides on the artistic policy, and shows are financed by the theatre, albeit sometimes in co-production with a touring management that hopes to profit from a Parisian success to take a show out on tour.

Inaugurated on 16 November 1925 under the management of Gustave Quinson, from 1927 to 1977 it was run by actor-managers who made the success of its shows: Victor Boucher, Yvonne Printemps, Pierre Fresnay, François Périer, with works by Édouard Bourdet, André Roussin, Jean Anouilh, Marcel Achard and Françoise Dorin. By public demand, the theatre specialised in boulevard plays, as evidenced by the many old posters that could be seen on its walls. The theatre was co-directed by Fresnay and Printemps until his death in 1975. Printemps remained alone at the head of the theatre, until she died in 1977.

The theatre went into receivership, and after a brief period of being run by ATECA association, was bought from the receivers in September 1981 by Jacques Crepineau, who, unlike his predecessors, was not an actor, but still performed the role of artistic director.

In April 2014, vente-privee.com bought the theatre.
Richard Caillat and Stéphane Hillel were nominated as co-directors.

In November 2019, Fimalac Entertainment bought a majority shareholding in the theatre.

In January 2022, Marc Lesage took over from Stéphane Hillel to become co-director with Richard Caillat.

# William Wing Loring

**William Wing Loring** (December 4, 1818  December 30, 1886) was an American soldier who served in the armies of the United States, the Confederacy, and Egypt.

## Biography

### Early life

William was born in Wilmington, North Carolina, to Reuben and Hannah Loring. He was a fifth great-grandson of New England pioneer Deacon Thomas Loring. When he was four, his family moved to Saint Augustine, Florida, where, at the young age of fourteen, he began a military career that spanned fifty years. As a fourteen-year-old, Loring joined the Florida Militia and gained his first combat experience fighting the Seminole Indians in minor skirmishes that would culminate in the Seminole Wars. When he was seventeen, he ran away to fight in the Texas War for Independence, but was soon retrieved by his father and taken home. For the next few years, he continued to fight in the Second Seminole War and was promoted to second lieutenant. In 1837, Loring was sent to Alexandria Boarding School in Alexandria, Virginia, completing his secondary education. He attended Georgetown University from 1839 to 1840 and then went on to study law, and was admitted to the Florida bar in 1842. In 1843, he was elected to the Florida House of Representatives where he served from 1843 to 1845. In 1845 he ran unsuccessfully for the Florida Senate.

### Mexican-American War

In 1846, Loring joined a newly formed regiment, the Regiment of Mounted Rifles, originally created to protect the Oregon Territory. He was promoted to major even before the regiment saw battle. Shortly thereafter the Mounted Rifles were sent to Mexico to fight in the Mexican-American War. Loring's regiment saw action in most of the battles of the war and he was wounded three times. While leading the charge into Mexico City, Loring's arm was shattered by a Mexican bullet, and he later had it amputated. He received two brevets for bravery, one to lieutenant colonel, and another to colonel.

### Antebellum years

In 1849, during the California gold rush, Loring was ordered to take command of the Oregon Territory and led a train of 600 mule teams 2,500 miles from Missouri to Oregon. He was in command of the Oregon Territory for two years and was then transferred to being commander of the forts of the frontier, such forts as Fort Ewell, Fort McIntosh, and Fort Union. During some five years he engaged in many skirmishes with the Indians, most notably with the Comanches, Apaches, and Kiowas. Loring was promoted to colonel at the age of 38 in December 1856, the youngest in the army.

He left the United States and traveled to Europe in May 1859. While there, he, like many of his fellow American officers, studied the military tactics that had been invented in the recent Crimean War. Before he returned home, Loring would visit Great Britain, France, Sweden, Prussia, Switzerland, Austria-Hungary, Italy, Russia, Turkey, and Egypt.

### Civil War

When the Civil War erupted, Loring sided with the South. In a conference in New Mexico, before departing for Confederate service, Loring told his officers, "The South is my home, and I am going to throw up my commission and shall join the Southern Army, and each of you can do as you think best." He resigned from the U.S. Army on May 13, 1861. Upon offering his services to the Confederacy, Loring was promptly commissioned a brigadier general and given command of the Army of the Northwest, participating in the Western Virginia Campaign in the fall of 1861. His first assignment was to quickly collect and rally the shattered remnants of Robert S. Garnett's force following its defeat at the Battle of Rich Mountain, and drill them in preparation for the defense of western Virginia against Maj. Gen. George B. McClellan's invasion from Ohio.

After organizing an army of roughly 11,700 at Monterey, Virginia, Loring detached two brigades under Henry R. Jackson and William B. Taliaferro to the north, to fortify Frank Mountain, and defend the approach from Cheat Mountain. Loring moved the rest of his army, the brigades of S.R. Anderson, Daniel S. Donelson, and William Gilham, south to Huntersville. Four days after his arrival at Huntersville, Loring was joined by Colonel Robert E. Lee, who had been sent by Richmond to western Virginia with the diplomatic role of inspecting and consulting. Loring, a Mexican War veteran who outranked Lee at the time, saw Lee as Richmond's attempt to look over his shoulder, and grew resentful of his presence. Loring and Lee moved the southern portion of their army to Valley Mountain, near Mace, and down the Tygart Valley to the Battle of Cheat Mountain in September 1861. Loring soon acquired the nickname, "Old Blizzards" for his battle cry, "Give them blizzards, boys! Give them blizzards!" Following that debacle, they moved south into Greenbrier County to reinforce the troops of the Kanawha Division under former Virginia governors John B. Floyd and Henry Alexander Wise, then-at Sewell Mountain and Meadow Bluff. Lee was re-called back to Richmond in late October. Loring and the men remained for a short period before abandoning the mountainous region too, marching into, and down the Shenandoah Valley to join Stonewall Jackson at Winchester.

Loring famously butted heads with superior officers, particularly with Stonewall Jackson. At the conclusion of the Romney Expedition in northwestern Virginia (now West Virginia) in January 1862, Jackson returned to his headquarters in Winchester while assigning Loring to stay and occupy the small, mountainous town. Unhappy with their assignment of holding a remote outpost in the dead of winter, Loring and his officers went over Jackson's head to Secretary of War Judah P. Benjamin, requesting that the division be withdrawn. Jackson complied with the order, then resigned in protest of Richmond's interference with his command. He withdrew his resignation at the urging of Governor John Letcher and his commander, Joseph E. Johnston. Loring was reassigned out of Jackson's command, and given command of the Department of Southwestern Virginia. In his five months in that role, Loring moved a force of 5,000 into the Kanawha Valley in his Kanawha Valley Campaign of 1862, ultimately occupying Charleston for a six-week period. In mid-October, Loring was transferred to the West.

By November 1862, Loring was in Grenada, Mississippi, commanding a division in John C. Pemberton's Department of Mississippi and East Louisiana, another superior officer he had friction with. In early spring of 1863, he defended against the Yazoo Pass Expedition, before his division was ordered south to reinforce Vicksburg. He was present at Pemberton's disastrous defeat at Champion Hill. Cut off from the rest of the army, most of his division then marched east to Jackson, Mississippi to join forces with Gen. Joseph E. Johnston for the impending siege. By the end of 1863, he was under the command of Lt. Gen. Leonidas Polk and defended east Mississippi from William T. Sherman during the Meridian Campaign of February 1864. Polk's relatively small force was then ordered to northwest Georgia to join Joe Johnston's Army of Tennessee, which was beginning to abandon its winter quarters in Dalton, Georgia to start the Atlanta Campaign. Polk's divisions, one commanded by Loring, arrived just in time to temporarily thwart a flanking maneuver by Union General James B. McPherson at the Battle of Resaca. Facing overwhelming numbers, Johnston's army was continuously flanked and forced to withdraw closer and closer to Atlanta.

Loring temporarily took command of Polk's III Corps when Polk was nearly cut in two by an artillery round and killed at Pine Mountain on June 14, 1864. He led the corps during the Battle of Kennesaw Mountain but was soon replaced on July 7, 1864, by Lt. Gen. Alexander P. Stewart. Loring returned to divisional command, fighting at the Battle of Peachtree Creek, and at Ezra Church, where he was wounded. Loring was out of action until after the fall of Atlanta. Upon returning he commanded his division in Stewart's corps of army now commanded by John Bell Hood, seeing combat at the Franklin on November 30, 1864, and Nashville in mid-December. In the last year of the war, the remnants of Hood's smashed forces returned east to participate in the Carolinas Campaign, seeing action at the Battle of Bentonville before being surrendered by Johnston at Durham, North Carolina a month later.

### Egypt

After the Confederate defeat in the Civil War, Loring served for nine years in the army of Isma'il Pasha, the Khedive of Egypt. He joined about fifty Union and Confederate veterans who had been recommended to the Khedive by William Tecumseh Sherman. Loring began as Inspector General of the army, a position in which he suggested various ways to modernize the army. He was then placed in charge of the country's coastal defenses, where he oversaw the erection of numerous fortifications. In 1875, he was promised the command of an Egyptian invasion of Abyssinia, however Ratib Pasha was given the assignment instead, and Loring was named chief of staff. Ratib Pasha was the ex-slave of the late Said Pawshar, the viceroy of Egypt, with negligible military qualifications; according to one of Loring's American compatriots, the freedman was "shrivelled with lechery as the mummy is with age." The Egyptian-Ethiopian War ended in disaster at the Battle of Gura, and the Egyptians blamed the Americans for the disaster. When Ratib Pasha had urged remaining with the Gura fortress, Loring had taunted him and called him a coward until he consented to meeting the Ethiopian host in the open valley. While the rest of the Egyptian army returned home, they were ordered to remain in Massawa until further notice, where they endured the summer months, then spent the next two years enduring endless frustration and humiliation in Cairo. In 1878, partially due to finances, the American officers were dismissed. During his service to Egypt, Loring attained the rank of Fereek Pasha (Major General). After his return to the United States, he wrote a book about his Egyptian experiences, entitled *A Confederate Soldier in Egypt* (1884). Loring was also the posthumous co-author of *The March of the Mounted Riflemen* (1940).

### Return to United States

Loring returned to Florida where he unsuccessfully ran for the United States Senate against Charles W. Jones. He then moved to New York City, where he died of pneumonia. He was buried in Loring Park, behind Government House in downtown St. Augustine, Florida until August 24, 2020, when the University of Florida Historic St. Augustine exhumed his ashes and began the process of moving them to Craig Funeral Home Memorial Park.

# Poema Morale

The ***Poema Morale*** ("Conduct of life" or "Moral Ode") is an early Middle English moral poem outlining proper Christian conduct. The poem was popular enough to have survived in seven manuscripts, including the homiletic collections known as the Lambeth Homilies and Trinity Homilies, both dating from around 1200.

## Content and form

The narrator, a wise, old man, reflects on his life and his many failures; the homily ends with a description of the Last Judgment and the joys of heaven. Both personal sin and collective guilt (scholars have compared the narrator's stance to that of the Peterborough Chronicler) are of concern.

The poem is sometimes referred to as a sermon, sometimes as a homiletic narrative. It contains, in its longest version, 200 rhymed couplets.

The lengths of the different versions of the poem vary greatly: the shortest is 270, the longest 400 lines; different manuscript versions also differ in wording. The Lambeth version is considered the oldest. In fact, there is so much "metrical, lexical and scribal variation" that it seems there is no "correct" version: "each copy represents a reshaping within an established rhythmical and metrical structure."

Though a seventeenth-century identification between the *Poema* and *The Proverbs of Alfred* by Langbaine was proven erroneous (Langbaine was led astray because he had an expectation of finding the Alfredian proverbs in the manuscript known as Bodleian Library Digby 4). There are, however, connections between the *Poema* and the Proverbs: a couplet of the *Poema* was written (in the same hand as the main text) in the margin of a manuscript containing the Proverbs (Maidstone Museum A.13). On that same page are marginal notes listing and glossing Middle English characters and their names, a list also found in McClean 123, which preserves a full version of the *Poema*; whether this is a gloss for the scribe or the reader is not clear.

At least one echo of the *Poema* was noted in the *Ancrene Wisse*. The twelfth-century *Ormulum* has the same meter as the *Poema*, but, in the estimation of at least one critic, the *Ormulum* lacks the occasional vigor and "personal feeling" found in the *Poema*.

### Meter

Following a Latin model, the *Poema* employs a septenary line, "a seven-foot line usually in trochaic rhythm"; according to R. D. Fulk and others this is possibly the first example of that line in English. According to Joseph Malof, this Latin-derived meter in subsequent instances is transformed into the looser seven-stress line (proving the dominance in English of stress over syllable) that became the English common metre, the standard line used in ballads.

## Manuscripts

Seven manuscripts contain the poem, six of which were used in the compilation of the Middle English Dictionary.

* Cambridge, Fitzwilliam Museum, McClean 123 (M)
* Cambridge, Trinity College B.14.52 (335) (T)
* London, British Library, Egerton 613
    + contains two versions: fols. 7r-12v (E), fols. 64r-70v (e)
* London, Lambeth Palace Library 487 (L)
* Oxford, Bodleian Library, Digby 4 (D)
* Oxford, Jesus College 29, Part 2 (J)

In addition, snippets are found in three other manuscripts.

## Editions

The first modern critical study and edition (which used six manuscripts) was Hermann Lewin's 1881 *Das mittelenglische Poema morale*. Lewin did not yet have the version from Cambridge, Fitzwilliam Museum MS McClean 123, a manuscript given to the museum in 1904; the version of the *Poema Morale* in it was not described until 1907.

# WJKV

**WJKV** (90.9 FM) is a non-profit radio station in Jacksonville, Florida. It is owned by the Educational Media Foundation (EMF) and airs the national "K-Love" Christian contemporary music radio format.

WJKV broadcasts from a tower off Hogan Road in Jacksonville. In addition, programming on the station is also heard on two translator stations: W208AV 89.5 MHz, San Jose (a neighborhood in Jacksonville), and W252DJ 98.3 MHz, licensed to Jacksonville Beach.

WJKV has been observed with HD1, HD2 ("Air1") and HD3 services in December 2018.

## History

On February 8, 1973, the station signed on as WFAM, at 91.1 MHz. It was owned by Jones College. WFAM had a different radio format for each part of the day. In the morning it played classical music, afternoons it was Top 40 and in the evening it was Jacksonville's only jazz station. The students staffed the station as part of their classes in broadcasting. In the 1980s, the station moved its frequency to 90.9, and also got a boost in power and coverage area.

In 1986, after easy listening station 96.1 WKTZ-FM switched to soft adult contemporary WLSC (now WEJZ), Jones College decided to acquire the intellectual property of WKTZ-FM and its call sign. The new 90.9 WKTZ-FM would continue playing its soft, instrumental music, but as a non-commercial, listener-supported radio station.

As one of the last remaining beautiful music stations, WKTZ-FM had a loyal and devoted audience, which grew nationally after the advent of streaming via the internet on its website. Its AM counterpart, 1220 WKTZ, was also acquired by Jones College. It carried a syndicated adult standards format.

Facing declining broadcast ratings and the aging of its audience (83 percent of their listeners were over age 55), the stations' licenses were sold to religious broadcaster EMF for $3.375 million. EMF announced plans to re-launch the stations with Christian formats. At 3:30 PM on November 6, 2014, both 90.9 FM and 1220 AM went dark, however the online stream of 90.9's former programming continued under the branding "Jones College Radio". A week later, WKTZ-FM and WKTZ returned to air as members of EMF's K-Love network. On July 21, 2015, WKTZ-FM changed its call letters to WJKV.

On August 1, 2018, EMF's Air1 network began airing on the HD2 subchannel. Air1 also airs on 89.5 FM W208AV.

In response to the sale, public radio station WJCT-FM added an easy listening format to one of its HD Radio subchannels, in an effort to placate WKTZ's former audience.

EMF does not usually operate AM stations; as such, AM 1220 WKTZ was spun off to the American Family Association which airs its national Christian radio format on the station.

# We Three Kings

"**We Three Kings**", original title "**Three Kings of Orient**", also known as "**We Three Kings of Orient Are**" or "**The Quest of the Magi**", is a Christmas carol that was written by John Henry Hopkins Jr. in 1857. At the time of composing the carol, Hopkins served as the rector of Christ Episcopal Church in Williamsport, Pennsylvania, and he wrote the carol for a Christmas pageant in New York City. It was the first widely popular Christmas carol written in America.

## Lyrics

**Three Kings of Orient**
| All | We Three Kings of Orient are,
Bearing gifts we traverse afar,
Field and fountain,
Moor and mountain,
Following yonder Star. |
| --- | --- |
| *Refrain* | O Star of Wonder, Star of Night,
Star with Royal Beauty bright,
Westward leading,
Still proceeding,
Guide us to Thy perfect Light. |
| Gaspard | Born a King on Bethlehem plain,
Gold I bring to crown Him again,
King for ever,
Ceasing never
Over us all to reign.
*Refrain* |
| Melchior | Frankincense to offer have I,
Incense owns a Deity nigh:
Prayer and praising
All men raising,
Worship Him God on High.
*Refrain* |
| Balthazar | Myrrh is mine; its bitter perfume
Breathes a life of gathering gloom;—
Sorrowing, sighing,
Bleeding, dying,
Sealed in the stone-cold tomb.
*Refrain* |
| All | Glorious now behold Him arise,
King, and God, and Sacrifice;
Heav’n sings Hallelujah:
Hallelujah the earth replies.
*Refrain* |

### Composition

Source

John Henry Hopkins Jr. organized the carol in such a way that three male voices would each sing a solo verse in order to correspond with the three kings. The first and last verses of the carol are sung together by all three as "verses of praise", while the intermediate verses are sung individually with each king describing the gift he was bringing. The refrain proceeds to praise the beauty of the Star of Bethlehem. The Magi's solos are typically not observed during contemporary performances of the carol.

The carol's melody has been described as "sad" and "shifting" in nature. Because of this, it highly resembles a song from the Middle Ages and Middle Eastern music, both of which it has been frequently compared to.

### Context

The carol centres around the Biblical Magi, who visited Jesus as a child in a Manger (Matthew 2:1) sometime after his Nativity and gave him gifts of gold, frankincense and myrrh while paying homage to him. Though the event is recounted in the Gospel of Matthew, there are no further details given in the New Testament with regards to their names, the number of Magi that were present or whether they were even royal. There are, however, verses in the Old Testament that foretell of the visitors: Isaiah 60:6: "The wealth of the nations will come to you. A multitude of camels will cover you. The young camels of Midian and Ephah; All those from Sheba will come; They will bring gold and frankincense, and will bear good news of the praises of the Lord." (New American Standard Bible), and two selections from the Psalms – Psalm 72:10: "The kings of Tarshish and of the isles shall pay tribute, and the kings of Arabia and Saba offer gifts" and Psalm 72:15: "...and may there be given to him gold from Arabia" (New American Standard Bible). Hence, the names of the Magi—Melchior, Caspar and Balthazar—and their status as kings from the Orient are legendary and based on tradition. The number three stems from the fact that there were three separate gifts that were given.

## Background and influence

At the time he was writing "We Three Kings" in 1857, John Henry Hopkins Jr. was serving as the rector of Christ Episcopal Church in Williamsport, Pennsylvania. Although he originally worked as a journalist for a New York newspaper and studied to become a lawyer, he chose to join the clergy upon graduating from the University of Vermont. Hopkins studied at the General Theological Seminary in New York City and after graduating and being ordained a deacon in 1850, he became its first music teacher five years later, holding the post until 1857 alongside his ministry in the Episcopal Church.

During his final year of teaching at the seminary, Hopkins wrote "We Three Kings" for a Christmas pageant held at the college. It was noteworthy that Hopkins composed both the lyrics and music; contemporary carol composers usually wrote either the lyrics or music but not both. Originally titled "Three Kings of Orient", it was sung within his circle of family and friends. Because of the popularity it achieved among them, Hopkins decided to publish the carol in 1863 in his book *Carols, Hymns, and Songs*. It was the first Christmas carol originating from the United States to achieve widespread popularity, as well as the first to be featured in *Christmas Carols Old and New*, a collection of carols that was published in the United Kingdom. In 1916, the carol was printed in the hymnal for the Episcopal Church; that year's edition was the first to have a separate section for Christmas songs. "We Three Kings" was also included in *The Oxford Book of Carols* published in 1928, which praised the song as "one of the most successful of modern composed carols".

Jazz, rock, and reggae musicians recorded "We Three Kings".

## Parodies

Since the 1950s, the carol has been frequently parodied by children. The subject of the lyrics vary widely depending upon the region, with references to smoking explosive rubber cigars, selling counterfeit lingerie, or travelling to an Irish bar by taxi, car, and scooter.

# Titus of Bostra

**Titus of Bostra** (died c. 378) was a Christian theologian and bishop. Sozomen names Titus among the great men of the time of Constantius.

## Life

Sozomen also tells of a mean trick played upon Titus by Julian the Apostate. It was expected that the reestablishment of paganism would cause riots, as it had elsewhere. Julian wrote to Titus, as bishop of Bostra (now Bosra) that he would hold him and the clergy responsible for any disorder. Titus replied that though the Christians were equal in number to the pagans they would obey him and keep quiet. Julian then wrote to the Bostrians urging them to expel Titus because he had calumniated them by attributing their quiet conduct not to their own good dispositions but to his influence. Titus remained bishop at Bostra until c. 371.

According to Socrates Titus was one of the bishops who signed the Synodal Letter, addressed to Jovian by the Council of Antioch (363), in which the Nicene Creed was accepted, though with a clause "intended somewhat to weaken and semiarianize the expression homoousios".

St. Jerome names Titus among writers whose secular erudition is as marvellous as their knowledge of Scripture; in his *De Viris Illustribus*, cii, he speaks of Titus's "mighty" books against the Manichaean and other miscellanea. He places his death under Valens.

Of the other miscellanea, only fragments of exegetical writings have survived. These show that Titus followed the Antiochene School of Scripture exegesis in keeping to the literal as opposed to the allegorical interpretation.

Titus's *Contra Manichæos* preserves a large number of quotations from Manichaean writers. The work consists of four books of which the fourth and the greater part of the third are only extant in a Syriac translation. The Greek and Syriac texts of the *Contra Manichæos* were published by Paul de Lagarde (Berlin, 1859). Earlier editions of the Greek text suffer from an insertion from a work of Serapion owing to the misplacement of a leaf in the original codex. The latest edition by Paul-Huber Poirier of the extant Greek text and the more extensive Syriac translation appeared 2013 (Corpus Christianorum Series Graeca 82). In 2015 a French translation of the texts in this edition appeared in the Corpus Christianorum in Translation-series.

In one passage Titus seems to favour Origen's view that the pains of the damned are not eternal.

A Commentary on the Gospel of St. Luke is attributed to Titus, which survives in excerpts principally in catenae. For this, and other writings attributed to Titus see Migne and Gallandi. The genuine exegetical fragments of this commentary were published by Sickenberger.

# Poeppel Corner

**Poeppel Corner** (known as **Poeppel's Corner** in Queensland) at latitude 26° S and longitude 138° E is a corner of state boundaries in Australia, where the state of Queensland meets South Australia and the Northern Territory.

## Geography

Poeppel Corner is about 174 km west of Birdsville, in the middle of the Simpson Desert.

New Year's Eve occurs three times each year at thirty minute intervals in Poeppel Corner (also in Cameron Corner and Surveyor Generals Corner), because it is at the intersection of three time zones.

## History

Augustus Poeppel, after whom the point is named, conducted a survey in the mid-1880s to find the exact location of the central Australian colonial borders. His team used camels to drag a coolibah post to mark the intersection. Originally the point was located in a salt lake, but it was found that the measuring chain used was a few centimetres too long. Another survey was conducted by Lawrence Wells, who relocated the post to its current position.

## Tourism

As with the other three corners it is a destination for four-wheel-drive tourists.

## Heritage listing

The Poeppel Corner Survey Marker is a heritage-listed site, having been added to the Queensland Heritage Register in 2012.

# Poetry in Motion (film)

***Poetry in Motion*** is a 1982 Canadian documentary film directed by Ron Mann featuring contemporary North American poetry and music. Featured are some of the Black Mountain poets, Beats, minimalist poets, and avant-garde poets. It was released in theaters, later being distributed on VHS, LaserDisc, and DVD. An extended CD-ROM version was also released.

## Production

*Poetry in Motion* is Mann's second feature film after *Imagine the Sound*. While watching John Giorno and William S. Burroughs at a rock club, Mann discovered Giorno's Dial-A-Poem recordings during a break in the performance. The director later decided to create an anthology of "post-Beat" poets for a film. His idea was based on the poem anthology publication *The New American Poetry 1945–1960* by Donald Allen. The first poet to say that they were interested in being in the film was Allen Ginsberg. Almost 40 poets performed more than 75 poems, and filmmaker Emile de Antonio helped cut down the filmed material to 90 minutes long. The film is interspersed with parts of an interview with Charles Bukowski. Performers include Allen Ginsberg, Kenward Elmslie, and Anne Waldman. A CD-ROM version was released with poems which were never in the film. All 47 hours of footage are held at the Art Gallery of Ontario.

## Release

The film was originally released in theaters. It was later released on VHS, LaserDisc, and DVD. It was released on VHS in 1986 and on DVD in 2002.

## Reception

A review in the book *Of-Hollywood Movies* says, "If you aren't a student of contemporary poetry, *Poetry in Motion* serves as an excellent introduction. If you are, it's orgasmic". The film has been criticized for including only four Canadian poets, but proponents stated that "the film is a new genre that elides criticism based in nationalism".

title: Morgenglanz der Ewigkeit

abstract: "Morgenglanz der Ewigkeit" is a Christian hymn with German text originally by Christian Knorr von Rosenroth, written around 1690 and set to music for private devotion.

It was translated to English as "Come, Thou Bright and Morning Star", and as "Dayspring of Eternity".

text:
# Morgenglanz der Ewigkeit

"**Morgenglanz der Ewigkeit**" (Morning splendour of eternity) is a Christian hymn with German text originally by Christian Knorr von Rosenroth, written around 1690 and set to music for private devotion. It became known with a 1662 melody by Johann Rudolf Ahle. The song is part of modern German hymnals and songbooks. It was translated to English as "Come, Thou Bright and Morning Star", and as "Dayspring of Eternity".

## History

Christian Knorr von Rosenroth, a Lutheran theologian from Silesia, wrote the text of "Morgenglanz der Ewigkeit" in 1684, intended for use in private devotion (*Hausandacht*). The song was soon included in Protestant church services. From the 1930s, it also became part of Catholic hymnals. In both denominations, it is used as a morning song and also as a song praising Jesus.

The song appears in the Protestant hymnal *Evangelisches Gesangbuch* as EG . It is part of the Catholic *Gotteslob* of 2013 as a morning song, GL 84, taking the original followed by three stanzas written in 1690 by Maria Luise Thurmair. It is part of many hymnals and songbooks.

## Text

The poet wrote seven stanzas of six lines each, rhyming AABBCC, with the last line extremely short. His first stanza has remained almost unchanged, while the other stanzas vary according to occasion and denomination, The following is the original beginning:

Morgen-Glantz der Ewigkeit
Licht vom unerschöpften Lichte
Schick uns diese Morgen-Zeit
Deine Strahlen zu Gesichte:
Und vertreib durch deine Macht
unsre Nacht.
Die bewölckte Finsternis
Müsse deinem Glantz entfliegen
Die durch Adams Apfel-Biß
Uns die kleine Welt bestiegen:
Daß wir, Herr, durch deinen Schein
Selig seyn.

In juxtaposition: the first two stanzas as Maria Luise Thurmair modified them in 1969 for the Catholic *Gotteslob*:

Morgenglanz der Ewigkeit,
Licht vom unerschaffnen Lichte,
schick uns diese Morgenzeit
deine Strahlen zu Gesichte,
und vertreib’ durch deine Macht
unsre Nacht.
Such uns heim mit deiner Kraft,
o du Aufgang aus der Höhe,
dass der Sünde bittre Haft
und des Zweifels Not vergehe.
Gib uns Trost und Zuversicht
durch dein Licht.

The morning splendour is a symbol of Jesus who is expected to expel the night. The wording "Licht vom unerschöpften Lichte" (light from uncreated light) is reminiscent of a passage in the Nicean Creed. Later stanzas are a prayer for a life pleasing God. The final two stanzas compare Jesus to a "Gnaden-Sonne" (sun of mercy) which will shine for the believers also in the Beyond.

## Melodies and settings

Rosenroth composed a melody when he first published. However, a *Halle-Liederbuch* of 1704 combined it with a melody that Johann Rudolf Ahle had composed in 1662. The melody was used by Friedrich Dörr for the Advent song "Kündet allen in der Not".

Max Reger composed a chorale prelude based on the hymn tune in 1901, as part of his Op. 79b, the fourth of 13 preludes. Johannes Weyrauch wrote a chorale prelude as part of his Op. 52.

## Translation

The hymn was translated to English. Richard Massie translated it to "Come, Thou Bright and Morning Star", published in 1857 in the *Church Psalter & Hymn Book*. A version "Dayspring of Eternity" was written by Robert Brown-Borthwick, published in *Church Hymns* in 1871 as a morning hymn.

## History

### WBBY-FM (1969-1990)

Prior to this station's establishment, the 103.9 MHz frequency in the Columbus market was occupied by WBBY-FM, licensed to Westerville, Ohio. It went on the air on May 5, 1969. WBBY was ordered to go silent on December 31, 1990. It was found that the majority owner/station manager withheld details to the Federal Communications Commission (FCC) about his level of involvement in a Marietta, Ohio car dealership.

WBBY-FM held a jazz format throughout most of its existence. That format was eventually picked up by WZJZ and WSWZ.

The current station signed on the air on September 4, 1998. It was also initially licensed to Westerville. At first, it broadcast classic rock music as "Eagle 103.9." It used the call sign WEGE.

### Adult hits (2004–2007)

The station became WTDA ("Ted FM") in 2004 with an adult hits format. It had a sound similar to Jack FM, which was gaining popularity across America. (A real Jack FM station would later air on this frequency.) With the Ted FM format, WTDA used the slogan "We Play Anything." The station's call letters attempted to incorporate this "Ted FM" branding. In September 2005, the station's owners added the Indianapolis-based syndicated *Bob & Tom Show* for morning drive time. Bob & Tom had recently been dropped by Clear Channel's WBWR.

### Talk (2007–2009)

On January 8, 2007, WTDA rebranded as something new. It was the first FM talk radio station in Columbus. It picked up *The Glenn Beck Radio Program* after the show was dropped from 610 WTVN. On September 8, 2007, the *Columbus Dispatch* reported that WTDA had become the Columbus radio home of the Pittsburgh Steelers football team. The format lasted less than three years.

### Classic hits (2009–2012)

On December 21, 2009, WTDA flipped to classic hits and rebranded as "Classic Hits 103.9." It used satellite programming from Dial Global's Classic Hits service. WTDA was one of four radio stations in the Columbus market to have a Classic Hits/Oldies format, joining Newark-based WNKO and the WNND/WNNP "Rewind 103.5/104.3" simulcast.

### News (2012–2013)

On June 14, 2012, WTDA flipped to an all-news format, changing the call letters to WMNI-FM. The format was simulcast with WMNI 920 AM, which previously had an adult standards format. WMNI-AM-FM used a national all-news service from the Associated Press. The simulcast ended on Thursday, July 18, 2013, when WMNI returned to the adult standards format. WMNI-FM kept the news format for a few more days.

### Jack-FM (2013–2022)

On July 24, 2013, WMNI-FM changed format to adult hits, subscribing to the JACK FM service. It rebranded as "103-9 Jack FM". The call letters were changed to WJKR the following day. The WJKR call sign was formerly used on 98.9 FM, which itself carried the "Jack FM" format in Columbus, and is now conservative talk WTOH. WJKR changed its city of license from Westerville, Ohio, to Worthington, Ohio, effective August 22, 2013.

### Country (2022–present)

On April 15, 2022, at noon, WJKR flipped to a country music format, branded as "Country 103.9". It competes for country listeners with WCOL-FM 92.3, owned by iHeartMedia and often the #1 station in Columbus. WCLT-FM 100.3 also has a country format.

## WJKR-HD2

On June 14, 2022, WJKR's HD2 subchannel switched from a simulcast of WMNI 920 AM (which flipped to sports) to an adult contemporary format, branded as "Star 95.1" (simulcast on translator W236CZ 95.1 FM Columbus). On September 15, 2023, it was announced that W236CZ's frequency will move to 94.1 FM on October 9, 2023, in connection with a strong upgrade with its 141-meter antenna, raising the watts from 88 to 250 watts. On October 12, 2023, W236CZ was licensed to operate on 94.1 FM, as W231EG
