# Meersburg

**Meersburg** (German: \[ˈmeːɐ̯sˌbʊʁk\] ) is a town in Baden-Württemberg in the southwest of Germany. It is on Lake Constance.

It is known for its medieval city. The lower town ("Unterstadt") and upper town ("Oberstadt") are reserved for pedestrians only, and connected by two stairways and a steep street ("Steigstrasse").

## History

The name of the town means "Castle on the Sea", referring to a castle which, according to a tradition from 1548, was built here in 630 by the Merovingian king Dagobert I.

The commune obtained the status of free city in 1299, though nominally still under the Bishop of Constance. In 1803 it was annexed to the Electorate of Baden.

After World War II, Meersburg was in the French military occupation area in Germany.

## Main sights

The town is home to two castles, the Old Castle and the New Castle. The Old Castle, built by Merovingian King Dagobert I in the seventh century, is one of the oldest surviving castles in Germany. It is in private ownership. A self-guided tour is available. German poet Annette von Droste-Hülshoff lived there for eight years and purchased the Prince's House. The New Castle was built in the eighteenth century. Originally the residence of the bishop of Constance, it was used for various purposes after the Secularization of 1803. It is now a museum. There is also an expanse of half-timbered houses, and two medieval town gates, which are the remains of the fortification.

## Transport

Meersburg is the northern terminus of a car ferry service to Constance. On the opposite side Meersburg is connected to the region by the B 31, a major road that leads from Breisach (on the French border) to Lindau (on the Austrian border), largely bypassing all parts of Meersburg. To exit to Meersburg and to get to the car ferry, one takes B 33 to Meersburg and Constance.

Meersburg is also reachable by pleasure boat services from Lake Constance to Überlingen (to the west), to Lindau, Bregenz (to the east) and to Constance opposite.

## Famous people

One of Germany's most celebrated poets, Annette von Droste-Hülshoff, lived her final years at Meersburg Castle, from 1841–1848. She also owned the small vine-covered villa known as *Fürstenhäusle*.

The famous eighteenth-century doctor Franz Anton Mesmer (from whose name the verb "to mesmerize" derives) died in 1815 in Meersburg and is buried near the old wall of the graveyard about 0.5 kilometres (0.3 miles) northeast of the upper town-gate "Obertor" (see picture beneath).

## Viticulture

The Meersburg vineyards at the northern banks of Lake Constance are famous within Germany. The rosée "Weissherbst" wine is a specialty of the region.

## International relations

Meersburg is twinned with:

# Melanie Bahlo

**Melanie Bahlo** is an Australian statistical geneticist and bioinformatician.

## Biography

Bahlo's interest in science and biology developed at a very young age. Growing up in Germany, she used to record the birds that came and visited her bird feeder during winter. Bahlo attended secondary school at Albury High School in Albury, Australia. She received her PhD in population genetics from Monash University in 1997. Bahlo's research interests include statistics, genetics, bioinformatics, and population genetics. Her work has "led to the discovery of new genes involved in genetic diseases such as deafness and epilepsy". She is a member of the team of scientists affiliated with the Lowy Medical Research Institute (LMRI) studying the genetic basis for macular telangiectasia type 2. She directed the most recent Genome Wide Association Study (GWAS), which discovered common genetic variants associated with MacTel.

Professor Bahlo is Theme Leader and Laboratory Head at WEHI, where her groups work focusses on developing and applying state-of-the-art methods to understand complex genetic datasets to discover the genetic causes of human disorders such as epilepsy, ataxia, dementia, motor neuron disease, Parkinson’s disease, speech disorders and retinal disorders.

The work of Bahlo and her team has recently focussed on brain and retinal disorders but previous work has included infectious organisms. Software developed by the Bahlo lab is freely available to other researchers. Bahlo has spoke publicaly about the challenges of data access in the genome research space, and the importance of repositories for genome data, especially for injecting global equity in genomic data sharing.

Bahlo and colleagues (Mark Bennett and Haloom Rafehi) from WEHI (formally known as the Walter and Eliza Hall Institute of Medical Research) were members of an international consortium responsible for discovering two new gene mutations responsible for a rare type of epilepsy.

Bahlo and colleagues also undertook pivotal work identifying five genetic risk locations in people who may be at risk of an inherited eye disease that can cause blindness, Macular Telangiectasia type 2.

# WBBJ-TV

**WBBJ-TV** (channel 7) is a television station in Jackson, Tennessee, United States, affiliated with ABC and CBS. Owned by Bahakel Communications, the station maintains studios on Muse Street in Jackson, and its transmitter is located on Potts Chapel Road in unincorporated eastern Madison County.

## History

The station signed on March 6, 1955, as WDXI-TV, Jackson's first television station. It operated an analog signal on VHF channel 7, and was a CBS affiliate owned by Aaron Robinson along with WDXI radio (1310 AM). Cy Bahakel bought the station in 1966 and changed the call letters to the current WBBJ-TV on December 7, 1966 (as Robinson's estate held on to WDXI radio). Since then, WBBJ has had the longest ownership tenure of any station in Tennessee, surpassing stations in much larger markets in the state.

When the station changed its calls to WBBJ, it also simultaneously dropped CBS in favor of ABC (which WDXI-TV had carried as a secondary affiliation for some time beforehand). By the end of 1967, Bahakel's other stations it owned at the time, WABG in Mississippi, WCCB in Charlotte, and WOLO in Columbia were all affiliated with ABC. Since 1967 until the launch of WBBJ's CBS-affiliated subchannel, Jackson has received CBS programming from WREC-TV/WREG-TV in Memphis. Like many of the stations that operated in analog on channel 7, the station has used various versions of the circle 7 logo over the years; since 2003, WBBJ has used the original, ABC-trademarked version. Area viewers can also see ABC programming over-the-air in some areas from WATN-TV in Memphis, but that outlet is not carried by local cable providers.

### WBBJ-DT3 (CBS) and WBBJ-DT4 (MeTV)

On January 1, 2012, WBBJ-DT3 became the area's CBS affiliate, bringing the network back to the market (and back to WBBJ, which carried the network until 1967). Between January 1, 2012, and September 2021, WBBJ-DT3 had served as a dual CBS/MeTV affiliate, offering programming from the MeTV service during select hours (on weekday afternoons and during overnight hours on weekends), in addition to the CBS affiliation, until MeTV programming was moved to a new fourth subchannel, which airs its full schedule uninterrupted. Prior to its CBS affiliation, WBBJ-DT3 served as a 24-hour live feed of a NOAA National Weather Service Doppler weather radar with audio from NOAA Weather Radio. As of September 2018, WBBJ-DT3 has been airing in 720p high definition (upgraded from its original 16:9 widescreen standard definition picture format), downconverted from the native resolution of 1080i for the CBS network. A direct-to-cable full 1080i high definition feed of WBBJ-DT3 is available on select cable providers.

## News operation

On August 1, 2007, WBBJ debuted new graphics, logo, music, and an updated weather set. The station, which had been using Frank Gari's "Image News" music package since 1999, switched to "In-Sink" by Nashville-based company 615 Music. Also on this date, the weeknight 5 p.m. newscast dropped the *Live at 5* branding and returned to *ABC 7 Eyewitness News at 5* which is simulcast on local radio station WFHU (91.5 FM). The ninety-minute weekday morning show became *Good Morning West Tennessee*.

In addition to network and syndicated programming, there are local newscast offerings on WBBJ-DT3 through simulcasts with the main channel and broadcasts in new time slots. It offers local news weekdays at noon for thirty minutes as well as weeknights at 5:30 and 6:30 seen exclusively on the CBS subchannel. As a result, *CBS Evening News* airs weeknights at 6 p.m., which is a half-hour later than most affiliates in the Central Time Zone.

On January 23, 2013, the station debuted a brand new set that has a working newsroom behind the main anchor desk. Also, the new set shows the Circle 7 logo, but no longer features the ABC logo, since the station is affiliated with both ABC and CBS.

# WCHV (AM)

**WCHV** is a news/talk-formatted broadcast radio station licensed to Charlottesville, Virginia, serving Charlottesville and Albemarle County, Virginia. WCHV is owned and operated by Monticello Media.

## History

### Early history: WEHC

Emory and Henry College signed on **WEHC** on October 24, 1929, broadcasting on 1370 kHz from Emory, Virginia. WEHC was the first station in Virginia to go on the air that was not based in the major cities of Richmond and Norfolk. The station was run mostly by students and represented before the Federal Radio Commission by faculty member W. Byron Brown. In fall 1932, during the depths of the Great Depression, the college sold the station to Brown's Community Broadcasting Corporation for $5,000 (equivalent to $111,659 in 2023). Brown then filed to relocate to Charlottesville. The last broadcast from Emory was on December 2, when the station filed to go silent in preparation for the move.

Terrestrial college radio returned to Emory in 1992 with the sign-on of an FM station, which also took the callsign WEHC.

### In Charlottesville

The new station was built and on the air on 1350 kHz in Charlottesville in September 1933, but did not change to its current callsign until 1935.

With no network affiliations yet available, WCHV inaugurated its own network on February 1, 1936: the Virginia Broadcasting System, with affiliates WBTM Danville, WLVA Lynchburg, WGH Newport News, and WPHR Richmond. A planned 16-hour day of common programming failed in three months due to the high cost of telephone lines, although the network links remained to carry advertised broadcasts of Virginia Cavaliers sports and other one-off programming. It is unknown when exactly the network dissolved.

WCHV eventually became a partial affiliate of Mutual in 1938 by gaining permission to rebroadcast the signals of WCLE Cleveland and WOR Newark during sustaining programs only. In September 1941, it formally joined the NBC Blue Network. The station would stick with the network when it became ABC Radio, then one of ABC's split networks through 1991. The station's programming day settled on what is now called full service with middle-of-the-road music.

After W.B. Brown sold control of Community Broadcasting in 1936, the corporation changed hands several times, until local businessman Charles Barham, Jr. took majority ownership in 1940. By 1942, he owned over 99 percent of the company, and transferred legal control to himself and his wife under the name Barham and Barham.

The Barhams sold to Roger and Louise Neuhoff's Eastern Broadcasting Corporation in 1958 after a sale to one of the station's announcers fell through.

The Neuhoffs signed on a companion FM station, WCCV-FM on 97.5 MHz, in 1960. Unusually for an AM-FM pairing at the time, the FM station had a different callsign and was programmed independently with an easy listening format to flank the AM station, which had evolved to adult contemporary. The FM station is now active rock WWWV.

The two stations went through three more ownership changes; the Neuhoffs sold the two stations to Charlottesville resident Edward S. Evans, Jr. in 1968, and Evans then sold them to Lyell B. Clay's Clay Broadcasting in 1973. Clay sold all of his broadcasting interests in 1987; WCHV and WWWV went to Eure Communications, then-owners of WXEZ Yorktown.

Eure tweaked the station to oldies music with news from CNN Radio during 1992. A C-QUAM AM stereo signal was put into operation around this time. The music flipped again to urban contemporary in 1997.

Eure concluded a merger deal with Charlottesville Broadcasting Corp., owners of WINA (1070 kHz), WQMZ (95.1 MHz), and WKAV (1400 kHz), in 1998. The deal was scrutinized by the FCC and Department of Justice as it would have resulted in one entity owning five popular stations in the small market. The transaction was completed in 2000 after the new Eure was forced to spin off WCHV and WKAV to Clear Channel.

Clear Channel first flipped the station to sports talk programming from Fox Sports Radio under the brand "Sports Radio 1260". In mid-2001, this programming was moved to WKAV, and WCHV was flipped again to news and talk as "AM 1260 WCHV".

George Reed's Sistema 102, LLC, later renamed to Monticello Media, bought all of Clear Channel's Charlottesville stations in June 2007. After taking control, Monticello added a downtown Charlottesville FM translator (94.1 MHz, previously associated with WZGN) and tweaked the branding to "News Talk 1260 WCHV", but kept programming the same.

Monticello replaced the translator with a full-powered FM simulcast on January 20, 2011, by flipping its 107.5 MHz facility from adult hits. This station took the callsign **WCHV-FM** to match.

With the August 2015 flip of WKAV from sports to classic country, WCHV and WCHV-FM picked up that station's affiliations with the Washington Nationals, Washington Capitals, Washington Wizards, Washington Commanders, and Virginia Tech Hokies radio networks. No longer strictly broadcasting news and talk, the stations' branding adjusted to the current "C-Ville 107.5 and 1260". The station has subsequently dropped all these teams except the Nationals, while picking up NASCAR Cup Series broadcasts from the Motor Racing Network and Performance Racing Network.

In September 2016, WCHV filed for special temporary authority to reduce its maximum power to 25 percent of its licensed level (from 5 kW day and 2.5 kW night to 1.25 kW day and 625 watts night) and allow non-directional operation due to significant equipment failures and damage to its ground system. The station's directional array was completely inoperable due to the failed equipment. Monticello told the FCC its plans if replacing the equipment was not feasible were to reduce WCHV's licensed power level and operate non-directional permanently. Monticello then applied in July 2020 to reduce WCHV's daytime power to 800 watts non-directional and discontinue nighttime operation altogether, thereby downgrading to Class D. This downgrade, along with the demolition of three of the former directional array's four towers, was completed in November 2023.

WCHV received its own FM translator W300DV on 107.9 MHz, pursuant to the FCC's AM revitalization program. This translator signed on in May 2021, and currently holds a construction permit to move to 99.3 MHz at the market antenna farm.

On March 30, 2024, Monticello Media abruptly fired program director and morning host Joe Thomas, who had been in those roles since 2007, when it was publicly reported that he was buying Staunton-based WTON (1240 AM) and two FM translators with plans to flip them to a competing news-talk-sports format. Monticello Media stated that the purchase created an unacceptable conflict of interest, while Thomas refused to comment. Thomas moved his morning show to WTON the following May 25.

### Television

In 1952, as the FCC was reallocating television channels, Charlottesville was given only one – UHF channel 45 reserved for educational use. The Barhams and the city of Charlottesville jointly proposed to move VHF channel 8 from Petersburg, arguing that a planned mountaintop transmitter near Crozet would serve a large swath of northern and central Virginia, most of which would be receiving its first clear television signal. The FCC denied the request, although the commission recognized that the nearest commercial allotment (channel 42 in Waynesboro) would be rendered unusable by the mountains and added channel 64 to Charlottesville. The Barhams settled for channel 64 and were granted the city's first television permit, **WCHV-TV**, on January 29, 1953.

One week later, CBS affiliate WLVA-TV signed from Lynchburg on VHF channel 13, and city residents reported "excellent" reception. Richmond's NBC station, WTVR-TV on channel 6, also covered the area. Particularly in areas with existing VHF broadcasters, early UHF stations were largely futile efforts until Congress mandated UHF tuners with the 1961 All-Channel Receiver Act. Reflecting the inferiority of UHF transmitting and receiving equipment of the time, a report in the *Daily Progress* compared the quality difference of VHF and UHF television to the difference between local AM radio and shortwave. WCHV-TV's permit was extended several times and returned to the FCC in January 1954, citing insufficient prospects for economic support.

After radio competitor WINA also failed to put a television station on the air in the late 1960s, Charlottesville did not get a local station until NBC affiliate WVIR's sign-on in 1973.

title: Meine Seele erhebt den Herren

abstract: Meine Seele erhebt den Herren is Martin Luther's translation of the Magnificat canticle. It is traditionally sung to a German variant of the tonus peregrinus, a rather exceptional psalm tone in Gregorian chant. The tonus peregrinus is associated with the ninth mode or Aeolian mode. For the traditional setting of Luther's German Magnificat that is the minor mode for which the last note of the melodic formula is the tonic, a fifth below its opening note.

# Meine Seele erhebt den Herren

**Meine Seele erhebt den Herren** (My soul magnifies the Lord) is Martin Luther's translation of the Magnificat canticle. It is traditionally sung to a German variant of the *tonus peregrinus*, a rather exceptional psalm tone in Gregorian chant. The tonus peregrinus (or ninth tone) is associated with the ninth mode or Aeolian mode. For the traditional setting of Luther's German Magnificat that is the minor mode for which the last note of the melodic formula is the tonic, a fifth below its opening note.

## Traditional setting

The tonus peregrinus is an exceptional psalm tone in Gregorian chant: there it was most clearly associated with Psalm 113, traditionally sung in vespers. In Lutheranism, the tonus peregrinus is associated with the Magnificat (also usually sung in vespers): the traditional setting of Luther's German translation of the Magnificat ("Meine Seele erhebt den Herren") is a German variant of the tonus peregrinus. Typical for all German variants of the tonus peregrinus, it starts with the same note as the tenor and then moves a minor third up before returning to the tenor note. Particular for the version associated with Luther's German translation of the Magnificat is that the same two notes are repeated at the start of the second half of the melodic formula.

## Usage by various composers

Johann Sebastian Bach adopted text and/or melody of Luther's German Magnificat in various compositions:

Also in BWV 733, *Fuga sopra il Magnificat*, the melodic formula is used as a theme: this chorale prelude may however be the work of Bach pupil Johann Ludwig Krebs.

Other German Baroque composers that adopted Luther's German Magnificat in their compositions include Johann Hermann Schein, Samuel Scheidt, Heinrich Schütz, Johann Pachelbel, Dietrich Buxtehude, Johann Gottfried Walther and Johann Mattheson.

# Melba Montgomery (1973 album)

***Melba Montgomery*** is a self-titled studio album by American country artist, Melba Montgomery. It was released in October 1973 via Elektra Records and contained 12 tracks. The disc was Montgomery's first with the Elektra label and eighteenth album overall. Material on the album mixed both uptempo numbers with ballads. New selections along with cover songs were included. The album included two singles. The first single, "Wrap Your Love Around Me", reached the top 40 of the American country songs chart in 1973. The album received positive reception from *Billboard* magazine following its release.

## Background, recording and content

Melba Montgomery had become known as a duet partner of country artists Charlie Louvin, Gene Pitney and George Jones. Up to that point her most successful single was the Jones duet, "We Must Have Been Out of Our Minds". Her solo career was overlooked by her duet success up to that point. While on the Capitol label recording with Charlie Louvin, she was produced by Pete Drake. When Drake moved to Elektra Records, he helped Montgomery secure a contract with the label in 1973. It was at Elektra that her solo career would become successful. In 1973, it was announced that Montgomery's first Elektra album would be promoted with a series of new label recordings at an event in New York City. The disc was recorded one month prior at Pete's Place, a studio in Nashville, Tennessee owned by the album's producer, Pete Drake.

The disc consisted of 12 tracks.The album mixed both up-tempo songs with slower ballads. Among the song's ballads were covers of Jeanne Pruett's "Satin Sheets" and Kris Kristofferson's number one single, "Why Me". Both songs topped the country charts by their original artists. A third cover was the up-tempo "Blood Red and Goin' Down" (first a chart-topping single by Tanya Tucker). Other songs were new recordings, three of which were composed by Montgomery herself: the title track, "Let Me Show You How I Can" and "I Love Him Because He's That Way".

## Release, reception and singles

*Melba Montgomery* was released in October 1973 on Elektra Records. It was Montgomery's first full-length album release with Elektra and her eighteenth album overall. It was distributed as a vinyl LP, with six songs on either side of the record. The disc received a positive response from *Billboard*, which named it among its "Top Album Picks" in October 1973. "She's picked excellent material, ranging from the softest ballad to rockin' country, and sings them all to perfection," they concluded. Two singles were included on the album. The first was "Wrap Your Love Around Me", which was issued as the lead single in September 1973. The song reached number 38 on the American *Billboard* Hot Country Songs chart in late 1973. It was followed by the release of the second single in January 1974 titled, "He'll Come Home". The single peaked at number 58 on the *Billboard* country chart in early 1974. Both singles also reached number 47 respectively on the Canadian *RPM* Country Tracks chart.

## Biography

### Early life

Melanie Susan Oxley is the daughter of Eric and Jan Oxley. Eric, an art teacher, was originally from Manchester and had migrated to Sydney before the Oxley family settled in the rural northern beach community of Kingscliff in 1965. Oxley's older brothers are Peter and Jeremy Oxley (born ca. 1961), who founded Australian pop-rock band The Sunnyboys, and her younger brothers are Damien and Tim (singer, guitarist, drummer in The Humdingers, The Verys, The Dearhunters, and Roger Loves Betty).

### 1984-1988: Paris Green and The Sparklers

Oxley performed with Louis Tillett's jazz influenced blues-rock band Paris Green in 1984, alongside Charlie Owen. She performed backing vocals on The Triffids' 1984 EP, *Raining Pleasure*. In early 1985 she worked for the Johnny Kannis Band with Richard Jakimyszyn on guitar, Tony Juke on keyboards and guitar, Kannis on lead vocals, Tony Robertson on bass guitar, Don Raffael on saxophone and Destroyer on drums. Also that year she was briefly in Sweet Nothing. Later that year, Oxley formed a dance pop band, The Sparklers, in Sydney with Chris Abrahams (ex-Benders) on keyboards; her brother Peter Oxley on bass guitar; Bill Bilson (The Sunnyboys) on drums; and Mark Walker (Hoi Polloi, Sweet Nothing) on guitar – who was replaced by Colin Bloxsom, a year later. The Sparklers released two singles before Abrahams left, he was replaced by Phil Grove. The Sparklers released an album, *Persuasion*, in October 1988 with Oxley writing all tracks except one co-written with Abrahams.

> after my brothers' band \[The Sunnboys\] split up, my brother Peter and I started the Sparklers with Chris, although he left before that album \[*Persuasion*\] was made.
>
> Melanie Oxley,

*Persuasion* was produced by Leszek Karski on Mighty Boys Records before the group disbanded in 1989. Oxley also performed backing vocals for Johanna Pigott's band Scribble, appearing on their 1986 album *Pop Art*, as well as on Ed Kuepper's 1986 album *Rooms of the Magnificent*. Other 1980s work includes The Spliffs *House of Seven* (1988) and Penguins on Safari's *Normal Soon* (1989).

### 1989-present: Melanie Oxley & Chris Abrahams

In 1989 Oxley formed a soul pop duo, Melanie Oxley & Chris Abrahams, with ex-The Sparklers bandmate, Abrahams (by then also a pianist-songwriter for experimental jazz trio, The Necks). She worked periodically with Abrahams, performing, writing songs and recording albums, while maintaining a career as a primary school teacher. In December 1990 the duo released a four-track EP, *Resisting Calm*, on Spiral Scratch Records. For the EP they used Tony Buck on drums, Mike Bukovsky on trumpet, Gerard Corben (ex-The Sparklers) on guitar, Guy Dickerson on guitar, Stuart Eadie on floor toms, Jackie Orszaczky on bass guitar and Lloyd Swanton on acoustic bass. It was co-produced by Abrahams and Oxley. National radio station, Triple J, placed the track, "Benchtop", on high rotation – a live version appeared on the compilation album, *Live at the Wireless 2* (1991). Their debut studio album, *Welcome to Violet*, followed in October 1992 on Remote Control Records, which exemplified their "moody, emotive soul/pop" sound. At the ARIA Music Awards of 1993, *Welcome to Violet* was nominated for Best Independent Release. On 3 October 1994, their second studio album, *Coal*, appeared.

Their third studio album, *Jerusalem Bay*, was issued in December 1998 and was produced by Oxley and Abrahams. Additional musicians included Mike Bukowski on trumpet (ex-Ten Part Invention) and Hamish Stuart on drums (Ayers Rock, Wig World, Catholics). The album includes a cover version of "Cry Me a River" written by Arthur Hamilton. *Blood Oranges* the fourth studio album was released in April 2003 on Vitamin Records. *The Age*'s Michael Dwyer described their sound as "sophisticated, sometimes jazz-tinted pop" while Oxley feels "It's quite a different album to *Jerusalem Bay*, and it was recorded differently. That one was much more organic and live. With *Blood Oranges*, Chris did a lot of work before we went into the studio, quite a lot of programming". Session musicians included Stuart, Michael Sheridan on guitar and Jonathan Zwartz on bass guitar. Vitamin Records promoted the album as being "Coloured by a strange, at times, dark playfulness, \[it\] is dotted throughout with classic sounding songs drawn from a number of pop influences. Lyrically thoughtful, deceptively simple".

In April 2003 *Sydney Morning Herald*'s John Shand reviewed their performance at The Basement, he found Oxley used "a lot of breath aerating \[her\] lovely voice. Unlike, say, Renée Geyer, however, this does not make it husky, but creates a soft-edged, whispering quality, which remains unaffected by volume, and which suggests innocence and sensuality in equal measure". In October that year ABC Radio National broadcast *South Island* on *The Listening Room*; *South Island* was a joint project by Oxley (performer) with Abrahams (composer and performer) and Sherre DeLys (text and sound design).

In January 2008 Oxley and Abraham provided "a simply devastating performance of 'Embedded'" at a tribute concert for its deceased songwriter, David McComb of The Triffids. A documentary film, *It's Raining Pleasure* (2009), showcased the performances and included an interview with Oxley, it was screened at the Adelaide International Film Festival.

## Personal life

As of July 2003 Melanie Oxley's domestic partner is former drummer and television producer, Angus Millar. Oxley is a mother of three children and outside her musical career she is a primary school teacher who has taught at Newtown Public School, Annandale Public School and Summer Hill Public School in Sydney's inner west.

# Heinrich Nauen

**Heinrich Nauen** (1 June 1880 in Krefeld – 26 November 1940 in Kalkar) was a German Expressionist artist. He created oils, watercolors, and prints; as well as murals and mosaics. A large part of his output consists of landscapes and floral still-lifes.

## Biography

He was born to a family of bakers, but expressed an interest in art at an early age. In 1898, he was accepted at the Kunstakademie Düsseldorf, then attended a private art school in Munich. He completed his studies at the Staatliche Akademie der Bildenden Künste Stuttgart from 1900 to 1902. Soon after, he joined the circle of artists that formed around the sculptor George Minne in the Flemish village of Sint-Martens-Latem.

In 1905, he married the artist, Marie von Malachowski and accompanied her to Paris. There, he came under the influence of Fauvism and the works of Van Gogh. In 1906, they moved to Berlin, where he became a member of the Berlin Secession and was elected to the board of the Deutscher Künstlerbund. He and Max Beckmann discussed the possibility of forming a new "Secession", but his career largely came to a standstill there.

Things worked out differently in the Rheinland, where he spent most of the spring and summer at several locations. His large format painting "The Harvest" was displayed in Paris in 1910 and brought a letter of appreciation from Henri Matisse. The following year, he left Berlin for good and settled near Brüggen, taking a wing of Schloss Dilborn for his studio. Many of his works were done in the garden and surrounding forests. Regular visitors there included Heinrich Campendonk, Erich Heckel, Franz Marc and August Macke. His first solo exhibition came in 1914, sponsored by the art collector Alfred Flechtheim at his gallery in Düsseldorf.

This happy situation was temporarily disrupted by the war. He was inducted into the army and assigned to an artillery regiment but, after being in combat only briefly and being exposed to poison gas, he was engaged as a war artist instead. In 1917, he was awarded the Iron Cross. In 1918, after the war, he became one of the co-founders of the artists' group, Young Rhineland.

In 1921, he received an appointment as a Professor at the Kunstakademie Düsseldorf. His notable students included Hermann Hundt, Julo Levin, Franz Monjau, Jean Paul Schmitz, Hannes Schultze-Froitzheim and Ernst Walsken.

In 1937, his works were classified as "degenerate art" by the Nazi government and he was forced to retire. Several of his paintings were displayed at the Degenerate Art Exhibition in Munich. After that, he and Marie retired to the town of Kalkar, where he died of stomach cancer two years later. His grave there now has a monument; created by Joseph Beuys, after a design by Ewald Mataré.

# Evelyn Mantilla

**Evelyn Mantilla** (born February 16, 1963) is an American politician from Connecticut who served from 1997 to 2007 as a member of the Connecticut House of Representatives. Mantilla was born in Caguas, Puerto Rico, and moved to Hartford, Connecticut, in 1978. She has a A.S. degree in computer science from Manchester Community College (Connecticut) and bachelor's degree in management, magna cum laude, from the University of Saint Joseph (Connecticut). She was first elected to represent the predominantly Latino 4th district in a special election held in February 1997, and she served for a time as Deputy Majority Leader. She came out as America's first openly bisexual state official in 1997.

## Political career

Mantilla's first run for office was in 1993, when she campaigned for the Hartford City Council. She lost this election by 16 votes. In 1996, Mantilla took the position of legislative liaison for the Connecticut Permanent Commission on the Status of Women. Then, in September 1996, Mantilla began her second political campaign, running against the incumbent Eddie Garcia to be a state representative for Connecticut's district 4. She and her campaign staff, composing of 100 volunteers, faced death threats, threats of physical harm, and attempted arson to their headquarters. After a tumultuous campaign, Mantilla lost the 1996 election to Garcia. However, Garcia was later convicted of voter fraud, and Mantilla petitioned for a new election, which she won.

In February 1997, Mantilla was elected as a state representative for district 4 in the House of Representatives of the Connecticut General Assembly. She came out as the first bisexual U.S. state representative in June 1997 during an LGBT pride event in Hartford, Connecticut. Addressing the crowd, she declared, "I am a bisexual woman in love with a woman," and proposed to her partner, Babette.

Mantilla ran for re-election successfully in 1998, 2000, 2002, and 2004. During the election in 1998, she faced an anti-gay oppositional campaign by Pentecostal minister Gabriel Carreras. He ran as an independent candidate to challenge Mantilla, claiming that she was "promoting the homosexual lifestyle in our schools." Mantilla won re-election with 88% of the vote.

During her time as a legislator, Mantilla prioritized issues pertaining to lower socioeconomic areas. She also worked to push forward election reform as well as same-sex marriage legalization.

She chose not to run for re-election in 2006, and her term expired in January 2007. She was succeeded by Democrat Kelvin Roldán.

Evelyn is now Executive Director of ITNCentralCT, a nonprofit organization that helps seniors and people who have a visual disability remain independent by providing volunteer drivers. She also continues to run Mantilla Leadership Solutions, a private public affairs and political services firm.

**Lincoln Felix "Babe" Broyhill** (January 31, 1925  November 21, 2008) was a record-setting American tail gunner in World War II and later a successful real estate developer.

## Early years

Broyhill was born in Winston-Salem, North Carolina, and grew up in Hopewell, Virginia, and later in Arlington, Virginia.

## Military service

Broyhill joined the U.S. Army Air Force in 1943. He served with the 8th Air Force in England, before being assigned to the 483rd Bombardment Group, based in Foggia, Italy.

In March 1945, Broyill was the tailgunner on a B-17 Flying Fortress known as the "Big Yank." The nose-art on the "Big Yank" included a portrait of President Franklin D. Roosevelt and was painted by Italian artist Mario Rucci. On March 24, 1945, Broyhill and the "Big Yank" flew in a 28-plane formation targeting the Daimler-Benz tank works near Berlin. The mission was the longest escorted bomber mission of World War II in Europe. The American bomber group was confronted by Luftwaffe Messerschmitt Me 262 jet fighters. In the air battle that followed, The 483rd Bombardment Group set several records, including the following:

* Most German jets destroyed by a single bomb group on one mission: six.
* Most German jets destroyed by one bomb group for the entire war: seven.
* Most German jets destroyed by a single crew on one mission: three.
* Most German jets destroyed by a single crew for the entire war: three.
* Most German jets destroyed by a single bomber for entire war: three.

The 483rd Bombardment Group received a Distinguished Unit Citation, and Broyhill set two individual records that day: (1) most German jets destroyed by a single gunner in one mission (two), and (2) most German jets destroyed by a single gunner during the entire war (two). Broyhill later recalled the record-setting mission as follows:

> I saw four jets attacking a lone B-17 from another group. The B-17 knocked down one of the enemy fighters before it flew in a crippled manner towards the Russian lines. The remaining three fighters came at our plane. Two of them came right behind each other at my position. They were about 1000 yards away when I started cutting loose with my guns. The first (Me 262) made a pass at 200 yards and my tracers were going right into its fuselage. Suddenly it went down in flames. The second came into my sights after the first had dropped. I kept shooting away because he was getting into my hair. Suddenly, it also spiraled down. Upon hitting the ground, it burst into flames. Because I had my guns spitting lead so rapidly, they jammed.

## Career as a real estate developer

After being discharged from the Air Force, Broyhill returned to Arlington, Virginia, and graduated from Washington-Lee High School. He later joined the L.R. Broyhill Co., a real estate company that developed residential communities in Arlington and Fairfax Counties in northern Virginia. Broyhill formed his own company, Broyhill Enterprises, Inc., in 1969. He continued to work as a residential real estate developer until he retired in 1980 and was one of the early developers of the planned community of Reston, Virginia.

## Death

Broyhill died on November 21, 2008, of congestive heart failure at INOVA Fair Oaks Hospital in Oakton, Virginia. He was 83 years old, and was survived by his wife of 62 years, two children and a grandson.
