# World Port Center

**World Port Centre** is a 33-storey, 123.1 m (404 ft) skyscraper in Rotterdam, Netherlands.

## Infrastructure

### Designer

Sir Norman Foster designed the 32-storey building. This British architect gained international fame with his designs for the London Stansted Airport, the Hong Kong & Shanghai Bank in Hong Kong, the extension of the Reichstag building in Berlin and the 259 m (850 ft) Commerzbank Tower in Frankfurt. In 1992 he designed the master plan of the entire Wilhelminapier, where the World Port Centre is standing.

### Builder

The tower was commissioned by ING Real Estate Development. The building costs amounted to approximately NLG100 million. The Port of Rotterdam Authority is the main occupant of the WPC, using floors 2 to 19. Floors 25 to 28 are rented to Eneco Energie, floors 29 to 32 are built as conference areas and are commercially leased to Regus. The grounds also cover the Argentine steak-restaurant Gaucho's.

## Features

As the building stands at the far point of the Wilhelmina pier it is built on, there is a view of the surrounding harbours and city from the higher floors. The building is also an emergency centre, designed to deal with potential catastrophes in the port area and act as a coordination centre.

**WCHR-FM** (105.7 MHz), known as "105.7 The Hawk", is a radio station in Manahawkin, New Jersey, with a classic rock radio format. It is owned by Townsquare Media.

## Coverage area

WCHR-FM is the most powerful FM station in the Monmouth/Ocean market and can be heard as far west as the city of Philadelphia and Bucks County, Pennsylvania, as far north as Wall Township, New Jersey, and as far south as Ocean City.

The WCHR-FM antenna is co-located with 92.7 WOBM-FM and 104.1 W281CK on a tower located in Bayville.

## History

On May 16, 1997, sign on the air as WAQB.

On December 19, 1997, the call letters were changed to WNJO.

WCHR-FM is not affiliated with WCHR, a Trenton radio station that currently broadcasts on 920 AM with a religious format; however, both stations were formerly owned by Nassau Broadcasting.

The WCHR call letters were originally associated with the Trenton station broadcasting at 94.5 FM, using a religious format (CHR standing for Christian radio). In February 1998, WCHR began simulcasting on 920 AM, and on March 2, 1998, 94.5 FM changed callsigns to WNJO as it changed format to oldies. For more on the 94.5 frequency, see the WPST page.

105.7 was a construction permit that Nassau acquired in 1998. When WCHR's religious unit moved to AM 920 from 94.5 FM, the permit on 105.7 picked up the WCHR-FM call letters. 105.7 never employed the religious format. It did not sign on until 2000. On March 14, 2002, WCHR-FM with simulcast of 98.5 WBBO. On April 15, 2002, 98.5 WBBO ended simulcast. 105.7 The Hawk is sign-on the airwaves. The first song played was "Born in the U.S.A." by Bruce Springsteen. The under general manager Don Dalesio and Nassau's vice president of programming Michelle Stevens, Nassau originated The Hawk exclusively for the Jersey Shore. They brought in veteran program director Jim Spector who, in turn, hired *The Free Beer and Hot Wings Morning Show*. Nassau gave Millennium Radio the option to buy the station in the deal that transferred the ownership of WJLK-FM, WOBM-FM, WBBO, WADB and WOBM in June 2002. Nassau operated WCHR until its sale was completed a year later in July 2003.

In 2010, 105.7 the Hawk agreed to broadcast all regular season New York Jets football games.

The Hawk began broadcasting from a new facility in downtown Toms River on January 30, 2013.

# Pilot Peak (Nevada)

**Pilot Peak** (Shoshoni: **Waahkai**) is the highest mountain in the Pilot Range in extreme eastern Elko County, Nevada, United States. It is the most topographically prominent peak in Elko County and the fourth-most prominent peak in Nevada. The peak is on public land administered by the Bureau of Land Management and thus has no access restrictions.

## History

Pilot Peak was named in 1845 for its use as an easily recognized landmark. John C. Fremont saw the peak from the east during his third expedition, mapping the Great Basin. Wondering whether his entire party could cross the desert he sent Kit Carson ahead to scout for water sources. Finding a perennial spring just east of the peak, Carson lit a large bonfire, the smoke from which signaled Fremont that the crossing was possible.

In 1846 the Donner Party also used the peak as a landmark for their crossing of the Great Salt Lake Desert, part of the Hastings Cutoff emigrant route. Running out of water, they had to temporarily abandon their wagons and oxen in order to reach the springs (now called Donner Springs) at the base of the peak. They eventually recovered most of their stock animals and wagons, and continued their journey to the California Trail and the Sierra Nevada mountains.

# Working equitation

**Working equitation** is an equestrian discipline. It is intended to promote competition between traditional styles of working riding used in various countries, and also to act as a showcase for traditional riding costumes and equipment. The world regulatory body is the World Association for Working Equitation.

## History

Working Equitation became an organised competitive sport in 1996, when the first European championship was held in Italy.

## Competition

Competition events may be individual or for teams, and are in three or four parts, in this order:

* Dressage, in which the horse and rider perform obligatory movements in a freestyle dressage test to music within a specified time scale.
* Ease of Handling Trial, a gymkhana-type event in which horses must overcome obstacles similar to those likely to appear in the field, such as bridges and gates. The obstacle course is designed to show the partnership between horse and rider.
* Speed, where similar obstacles must be overcome, but against time
* Cow (only for team competitions), in which the four team members separate a specific numbered cow from a group.

The Team event at the 2010 European Working Equitation Championships was won by riders from Portugal.

## World Championships

The first Working Equitation World Championship was held from 11–13 October 2002 at Beja, Portugal, with teams from Brazil, France, Italy, Mexico, Portugal, Spain and the United Kingdom. The team from Portugal won the team event, and the individual competition was won by Fabio Lombardo of Brazil on Brilho do Rimo with 100 points.

In the second Working Equitation World Championship in Lisbon from 26 to 29 October 2006, there were teams from France, Italy, Mexico, Portugal, Spain and the United Kingdom. The Portuguese team won the team event for the second time in a row and David Duarte Oliveira of Portugal won the individual event with his horse Mulato.

The third World Championship was held five years later, from 26–30 October 2011, in Lyon, France. There were six national teams and 25 individual riders from 8 different countries. The team from Portugal again won the team event, and Pedro Torres of Portugal won the individual event on Oxidado.

At the fourth World Championship, held at Ebreichsdorf in Austria from 5–8 June 2014, there were 28 individual entries from 10 different countries, but only four national teams. The Portuguese team again won the team event and the four members of the team took the first four places in the individual event, which was won by Bruno Pica da Conceição and Trinco.

# WCHV-FM

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

## History

The original permit for 107.5 FM in Charlottesville was applied for in 1992 by Washington, D.C. resident Deborah M. Royster's Spectrum Broadcasting Corporation. This permit was assigned the callsign **WLJL**. After several extensions, the station went on air in January 1996, followed by a callsign change to **WUMX**. The station's initial format was adult contemporary under the branding "Mix 107.5". Soon afterwards, Royster sold the station to David G. Mitchell's Air Virginia, Inc. Mitchell was at the time part-owner of two AM stations in Pennsylvania, and is currently the general manager of WCVL-FM (92.7 MHz).

In 2000, Clear Channel tried to purchase the station from Air Virginia. The sale was held up by the Federal Communications Commission on antitrust concerns; the company already owned WCYK-FM (99.7 MHz), WFFX (102.3 MHz), WVSY (101.9 MHz), WCHV (1260 kHz) and WKAV (1400 kHz). Clear Channel and Charlottesville's second-largest owner, Eure Communications – then-owners of WWWV (97.5 MHz), WINA (1070 kHz), and WQMZ (95.1 MHz) – would control nearly 95 per cent of the market's advertising revenue if the sale proceeded. In March 2002, the FCC announced its first public hearing on ownership concentration since 1960 to discuss the matter. The sale was ultimately approved. Ironically, the Department of Justice forced Eure to divest WCHV and WKAV – ultimately to Clear Channel – under similar antitrust concerns several years earlier.

Positioned in the middle of Charlottesville radio ratings in 2004, WUMX went on an abortive format flip to smooth jazz as "Smooth Jazz 107.5" **WCJZ**. This lasted eighteen months, as the station's ratings became even worse with the niche format. In October 2005, WCJZ flipped back to "Mix 107.5", but with hot adult contemporary music instead of the previous incarnation's gold-based adult contemporary.

Clear Channel sold its entire Charlottesville cluster to George Reed's Sistema 102 LLC, later renamed Monticello Media, on June 27, 2007. The sale closed in October. On October 12, WCJZ flipped to adult hits as "Tom @ 107.5" **WWTJ**, with a brand referencing University of Virginia founder Thomas Jefferson.

WWTJ flipped once again to a simulcast of WCHV's news/talk format on January 20, 2011, along with the new **WCHV-FM** callsign. The stations co-branded as "News Talk 107.5 and 1260 WCHV". WCHV had previously used a translator in downtown Charlottesville on 94.1 MHz, which switched to retransmitting rimshot WZGN (102.3 MHz).

With the August 2015 flip of WKAV from sports to classic country, WCHV and WCHV-FM became the Charlottesville affiliates for the Washington Nationals, Washington Capitals, Washington Wizards, Washington Redskins, and Virginia Tech Hokies radio networks. Accordingly, the stations' branding adjusted to "C-Ville 107.5 and 1260".

title: Married Love

abstract: Married Love or Love in Marriage is a book by British academic Marie Stopes. It was one of the first books openly to discuss birth control. The book begins by stating that "More than ever to-day are happy homes needed. It is my hope that this book may serve the State by adding to their number. Its object is to increase the joys of marriage, and to show how much sorrow may be avoided." The preface states that it was geared toward teaching married couples how to have a happy marriage, including 'great sex' – and it was thus offering a service to 'the State' by reducing the number of people affected by failed marriages. The central question is how can the "desire for freedom" and "physical and mental exploration" be balanced with the limits of monogamy and raising a family. The answer is not "in the freedom to wander at will" but a "full and perfected love". In Stopes' lexicography love means sex and "access to the knowledge of how to cultivate it".

# Married Love

***Married Love or Love in Marriage*** is a book by British academic Marie Stopes. It was one of the first books openly to discuss birth control.

The book begins by stating that "More than ever to-day are happy homes needed. It is my hope that this book may serve the State by adding to their number. Its object is to increase the joys of marriage, and to show how much sorrow may be avoided."

The preface states that it was geared toward teaching married couples how to have a happy marriage, including 'great sex' – and it was thus offering a service to 'the State' by reducing the number of people affected by failed marriages.

The central question is how can the "desire for freedom" and "physical and mental exploration" be balanced with the limits of monogamy and raising a family. The answer is not "in the freedom to wander at will" but a "full and perfected love". In Stopes' lexicography love means sex and "access to the knowledge of how to cultivate it".

## Publishing history

Stopes had already published books based upon her work as a research scientist. However, the publishers – both academic and mainstream – she approached for *Married Love* felt the subject matter too controversial and turned it down. Its publication was finally financed by Humphrey Roe, a Manchester businessman and birth control campaigner, who Stopes would later marry. Roe paid the £200 required by the small publishing firm Fifield & Co. who published *Married Love* in March 1918.

It rapidly sold out, and was in its sixth printing within a fortnight.

The US Customs Service banned the book as obscene until April 6, 1931, when Judge John M. Woolsey overturned that decision. Woolsey was the same judge who in 1933 would lift the ban on James Joyce's *Ulysses*, allowing for its publication and circulation in the United States of America.

It was the first book to note that women's sexual desire coincides with ovulation and the period right before menstruation. The book argued that marriage should be an equal relationship between partners. Although officially scorned in the UK, the book went through 19 editions and sales of almost 750,000 copies by 1931.

In 1935 a survey of American academics said *Married Love* was one of the 25 most influential books of the previous 50 years, ahead of *Relativity* by Albert Einstein, *Interpretation of Dreams* by Sigmund Freud, *Mein Kampf* by Adolf Hitler and *The Economic Consequences of the Peace* by John Maynard Keynes.

The book was the basis for a 1923 British silent film adaptation *Married Love* directed by Alexander Butler.

* *Downton Abbey* (Series 4, Episode 4): Housekeeper Mrs. Hughes (Phyllis Logan) says it is impossible for lady's maid Edna Braithwaite (Myanna Burring) to be pregnant because Edna owns a copy of *Married Love*, suggesting that she understands methods of birth control, and therefore could not be pregnant by Tom Branson (Allen Leech).
* *Downton Abbey* (Series 5, Episodes 2, 3, and 6): In Episode 2 of the fifth series, Lady Mary (Michelle Dockery) has a copy of the book, which she uses to ensure her week-long dalliance with Lord Gillingham (Tom Cullen) has no "unwanted epilogue". In Episode 3 she asks for her lady's maid Anna Bates (Joanne Froggatt) to hide the book and the contraceptive device (most likely a cervical cap, which she had had Anna purchase according to the book's recommendation) in her home to avoid it being discovered in the house. In Episode 6 Anna's husband, John Bates (Brendan Coyle), discovers the device in their home, and is hurt by the prospect that his wife is trying to prevent them having children, which had been a topic of the series between them, but he is unaware that the book and device were being used by Lady Mary and not his wife. Only after a while did he realize that the device was Mary's and not Anna's.
* In *Parade's End* (Episode 5), a 2012 BBC miniseries, the character Valentine Wannop finds a copy of the book in the changing rooms at the school where she works as a games mistress. She discusses it with the rest of the school staff and decides to put it back, not confiscate it, to give the girls a chance to learn about sex before they are married.
* In *The Giver of Stars* by JoJo Moyes, *Married Love* is a "dirty book" being challenged at the packhorse library in the fictional town of Baileyville, Kentucky.

# Żarnowiec

**Żarnowiec** \[ʐarˈnɔvʲɛt͡s\] is a village in the administrative district of Gmina Krokowa, within Puck County, Pomeranian Voivodeship, in northern Poland. It lies close to Żarnowieckie Lake, approximately 5 kilometres (3 mi) west of Krokowa, 23 km (14 mi) north-west of Puck, and 59 km (37 mi) north-west of the regional capital Gdańsk. In 2005 the village had a population of 861.

Żarnowiec was the location for the first Polish nuclear power plant (Żarnowiec Nuclear Power Plant), but construction was stopped in 1990 due to protests of the local population and lack of funds. Recently, the construction plans are being reconsidered.

## History

The earliest evidence of settlement in the region dates from the 8th century BC: the inhabitants were apparently linked with the Lusatian and East Pomeranian cultures. There was a settlement near the Żarnowiec lake from the seventh to the tenth century AD. A village known alternately as *Sarnkow*, *Sarnowitz*, *Sarnowicz* or *Czarnowicz* is first mentioned in sources dating from the thirteenth century, when it was inhabited by the Kashubians.

In 1215, Żarnowiec belonged to the Cistercian order based in Oliwa Abbey, which founded a monastery for women there. In the 13th century the local monastery was granted various privileges including ownership of five nearby villages of Kartoszyno, Lubkowo, Odargowo, Świecino, Wierzchucino, what was confirmed by King of Poland Przemysł II in 1295 in Gdańsk. In 1297 the monastery received special economic and juridical privileges from Mściwój II, Duke of Pomerania. It was located within fragmented medieval Poland.

In fourteenth century Żarnowiec, together with all of Pomerelia was annexed from Poland by the Teutonic Order. In 1433, it was raided by a Hussite army. In 1454 the territory was formally re-incorporated into the Kingdom of Poland by King Casimir IV Jagiellon. In 1462, during the subsequent Thirteen Years' War, the Polish army under Piotr Dunin defeated the Teutonic Knights there (see Battle of Świecino, also known as the Battle of Żarnowiec). After the war Żarnowiec was confirmed as part of Poland, and administratively was included in the Pomeranian Voivodeship in the province of Royal Prussia in the Greater Poland Province.

In 1589 Kuyavian Bishop and royal secretary Hieronim Rozdrażewski granted the monastery to a female order of Benedictines from Chełmno, who founded an abbey there in 1617. In 1772, after the First Partition of Poland, the village was taken over by Prussia. The population was subjected to anti-Polish policies, including Germanisation. In 1810 Prussians prohibited the admission of new nuns to the monastery. In 1833 nuns expelled by the Prussians from Toruń settled in the abbey, however in 1834 the abbey was liquidated. During a rally in Żarnowiec in 1911, Prussians arrested a prominent Polish independence activist in Gdańsk Pomerania and local Kashubian activist Antoni Abraham, who was afterwards sentenced to six weeks in prison in Gdańsk for resisting arrest. The village was restored to Poland in 1919, after the country regained independence after World War I. The monastery was refounded in 1946 by a female order of Benedictines, resettled from Vilnius from former eastern Poland annexed by the Soviet Union in World War II.

# Mediterranean Mathematics Competition

The **Mediterranean Mathematics Competition** (also: **Peter O’Halloran Memorial**) is a mathematics competition for school students, taking place annually since 1998. All countries bordering the Mediterranean Sea are allowed to participate, as well as, if invited, their neighbouring countries.

## Motto

The Mediterranean Competition's goals are:

* Discovery, development and challenge of mathematically gifted students
* Establishment of friendly and cooperative relationships between students and teachers of various mediterranean countries
* Creation of a possibility for international exchange about school practices
* Support for the engagement in solving mathematical olympiad problems, as well as the dealing with other mathematical problems, also in non participating countries

## Rules

The contest is conducted separately in every country. Each participating country can let an unrestricted number of students write the contest, but only the results of the top ten, according to national evaluation, can be submitted for international ranking. Every of these is awarded a certificate either of participation or merit, whereas the levels of merit - Gold, Silver, Bronze and Honorable Mention – are awarded similarly to the International Mathematical Olympiad. The participants have to be less than 20 years of age and may not have enrolled in a university study or a comparable educative scheme.

## History

The Mediterranean Competition initially took place in 1998, created and until today organized by Spanish Francisco Bellot Rosado. In the first year, only three problems were to be solved. However from the second year on, the contest consisted of four problems each, with an overall contest time of four hours.

# Michael Cross (painter)

**Michael Cross** (fl.1633–1660) was a Spanish painter and copyist active mainly in England.

## Life

The painter Michael Cross, of unknown parentage, place of birth, and training, obtained great renown as a copyist in the reign of Charles I. He is doubtless identical with **Miguel de la Cruz**, a painter at Madrid, who in 1633 executed copies for Charles I of the principal pictures in the royal galleries at Madrid, in memory of Charles's visit to Spain. According to some authorities he died early, but he was employed by Charles I to copy pictures in Italy, and a story has been handed down that while at Venice he copied a Madonna by Raphael in San Marco so accurately that he was able to substitute his copy for the original picture and bring the original back to England as his own handiwork. There does not seem, however, to be any record of any such picture by Raphael at Venice, and it is not likely that Charles I would be so easily duped. This picture is stated to have been sold at the dispersal of the King's collection to the Spanish ambassador. From the fact of his name being anglicised it would appear that he resided in England, and it is on record that he made copies of Vandyck's *Charles I on a Dun Horse*, Titian's *Rape of Europa*, *Venus and Adonis*, and several other Titians. In the catalogue of Charles I's collection there is mentioned "A piece of our Lady, copied at the Escurial in Spain, after Raphael Urbin, by Mich. de la Croy". This picture may have given rise to the story alluded to above.

After the Restoration, Cross petitioned Charles II to redeem a promise made to the petitioner while at Caen in Normandy, for the renewal of a pension of 200*l*. per annum granted him by Charles I during twenty-eight years for services, "both in Spaine in coppying of old peeces of famous painters, and in Italie in making newe collections". He is not otherwise recorded among those active purchasing on the King's behalf.

## Name

**Michael Cross** (also spelled **Crosse** and **Crass**) was also called **Miguel de la Cruz**, **Michaell de la Croy**, and **Michaell La Croix**.

# Gaba Kulka

**Gabriela Konstancja Kulka-Stajewska** (**Gaba Kulka**, born in 1979 in Warsaw, Poland) is an independent Polish artist, songwriter, and performer.

## Biography

Gabriela Kulka comes from a family of musicians, with her father being a renowned Polish violinist and professor. Although she initially trained in violin, which she played for eight years, she eventually gravitated towards the piano for her songwriting and performances.

Her early albums, "Between Miss Scylla and a Hard Place" (2003) and "Out" (2006), were independently produced. Additionally, she contributed to the demo album "Songs for Wolf," a compilation of cover songs.

In 2009, her third album, "Hat, Rabbit," was released by the major label Mystic Production, which garnered her wider popularity. The album achieved gold status in Poland, and Kulka's singles "Niejasności," "Kara Niny," and "Got a Song" gained success on alternative-oriented radio stations. That same year, she collaborated with Polish singer Konrad Kucz on the album "Sleepwalk."

## Musical style

Over seven years of writing and recording, Gabriela Kulka developed a singular style of dark musical theater mixed with jazzy flair and a focus on poetic and quirky lyrics—influenced by Danny Elfman and Kate Bush in equal parts. Her output is strongly influenced by classical music, jazz, and pop.

Artists she names as her closest inspirations are, firstly and undeniably - Kate Bush and Tori Amos, but also Peter Gabriel, Kurt Weill, Danny Elfman, The Mystic Knights of the Oingo Boingo, Chroma Key, Queen, ABBA, Bruce Dickinson, Iron Maiden (whose songs she performs live) and Madonna.

# Meine Seufzer, meine Tränen, BWV 13

***Meine Seufzer, meine Tränen*** (My sighs, my tears), **BWV 13**, is a church cantata by Johann Sebastian Bach. He composed it in Leipzig for the second Sunday after Epiphany and first performed it on 20 January 1726.

## History and words

Bach wrote the cantata in his third year in Leipzig for the Second Sunday after Epiphany. The prescribed readings for the Sunday were taken from the Epistle to the Romans, we have several gifts, each is unique, as part of the body of Christ (cf also I Corinthians 12)(Romans 12:6–16), and from the Gospel of John, the Marriage at Cana (John 2:1–11). The text is taken from Georg Christian Lehms' annual of cantatas, published in Darmstadt in 1711. The single idea from the gospel is the word of Jesus: "Mine hour is not yet come". The text is divided into two parts of three movements each, the first dealing with the distress of someone feeling abandoned, the second with hope for God's help. Both parts are closed by a chorale. Movement 3 is the second stanza of Johann Heermann's hymn "Zion klagt mit Angst und Schmerzen", the closing chorale is the final stanza of Paul Fleming's "In allen meinen Taten". According to Alfred Dürr, it is unlikely that they were performed before and after the service, considering the brevity of the work.

## Scoring and structure

The cantata in six movements is intimately scored for four soloists, soprano (S), alto (A), tenor (T), and bass (B), a four-part choir (SATB) in the chorales, two recorders (Fl), oboe da caccia (Oc), two violins (Vl), viola (Va), and basso continuo. The continuo is playing throughout.

|  | So, sei nun, Seele, deine | Fleming | Chorale | SATB | Fl Oc | 2Vl VA | B-flat major |  |

## Music

The cantata is opened by an aria, a lamento accompanied by soft recorders and the dark sound of the oboe da caccia which leads frequently. It is a da capo form, but the middle section is again divided in two parts. In it, the voice shows the "Weg zum Tod" (road to death) by several downward steps. Dürr points out that this composition "illustrates how the imagination of the Baroque musician is particularly fired by texts dealing with sighing and pain". The following short secco recitative ends as an arioso on the words "vergebens flehen" (plead in vain). In the chorale, the woodwinds play the cantus firmus in unison with the alto voice, while the strings play independent figuration in F major, illustrating hope, although the text says that hope is not yet in sight. John Eliot Gardiner describes the "confident diatonic harmonies" as an "optimistic, wordless answer" to the voice's "prayer for comfort".

A second expressive recitative leads to a second aria, which is accompanied by violin I and the recorders, playing in unison an octave higher. The lamenting text of the beginning "Ächzen und erbärmlich Weinen" (groaning and pitiful weeping) is stressed by intervals such as augmented second, diminished fifth and diminished seventh. The ritornello has two distinctly different parts, a lamenting section and a hopeful one, full of fast runs and passages. In the middle section, the text "wer gen Himmel siehet" (he who looks towards heaven) is accented by an octave leap upwards in the voice and upwards runs in the instruments, contrasting the downward line in movement 1. The closing chorale is a four-part setting of the melody of "O Welt, ich muss dich lassen" by Heinrich Isaac, which is featured twice in Bach's *St Matthew Passion* in movements 10 (Ich bin's, ich sollte büßen) and 37 (Wer hat dich so geschlagen).

text:
# Meine Seele rühmt und preist, BWV 189

***Meine Seele rühmt und preist*** (My soul extols and praises), BWV 189, is a church cantata credited to Johann Sebastian Bach and Melchior Hoffmann.

## History and text

This is a solo cantata composed for the Feast of the Visitation of Mary. The prescribed readings for the day were Isaiah 11:1–5, and Luke 1:39–56. The librettist of the work is unknown. The German text of the cantata is a paraphrase of the Magnificat.

An old largely lost source attributes the cantata to Melchior Hoffmann (although seemingly confusing the composer with Johann Georg Hoffmann, an organist in Breslau). Throughout the 19th century the cantata was generally attributed to Bach. Only in the second half of the 20th century was the attribution restored to Melchior Hoffmann again in most sources.

## Movements and scoring

The work in five movements is scored for solo tenor voice, two recorders, oboe, violin, and basso continuo.

1. Aria "Meine Seele rühmt und preist"
2. Recitative "Denn seh' ich mich und auch mein Leben an"
3. Aria "Gott hat sich hoch gesetzet"
4. Recitative "O wass vor grosse Dinge treff ich an allen Orten an"
5. Aria "Deine Güte, dein Erbarmen"

title: Villa Crespo

abstract: Villa Crespo is a middle class neighborhood in Buenos Aires, Argentina, located in the geographical center of the city. It had a population of 83,646 people in 2001, and thus currently a population density of 23,235 inhabitants/km⁲. Villa Crespo celebrates its anniversary on June 3. Villa Crespo was also sometimes referred to as Palermo Queens around 2007. This trade name, caused a reaction from the Neighborhood Association and Historical Studies at the Ombudsman of the city of Buenos Aires. They issued Resolution 2549/07, resulting in 14 realtors being sanctioned for publishing misleading advertising, in violation of the consumer competition law and fair trading law, and violation of the law of neighborhood boundaries and the tourist protection law. Palermo is considered a more expensive neighborhood and renaming Villa Crespo as part of Palermo would allow people to charge higher rents, etc. It grew around the "Fábrica Nacional de Calzado". The first name of the neighborhood was San Bernardo and that remained in general use during its first twenty-five years, in spite of it being officially named after Buenos Aires mayor, Antonio F. Crespo. On April 11, 1894, the San Bernardo church was opened to the public. Villa Crespo was home to several conventillos, including the most famous one, the Conventillo de la Paloma. Under Juan B. Justo avenue runs the Maldonado waterstream, culverted to prevent major floods. Villa Crespo has been traditionally associated with the Jewish community, hosting several synagogues, Hebrew schools and youth movements. Its traditional football club is Atlanta. Until the 1980s, it had a clothing commercial centre in Scalabrini Ortiz Avenue, but this has lost its strength over the years. The main commercial hub is still the intersection of Scalabrini Ortiz and Corrientes avenues, these two roads being also the main access of the neighborhood. Some leather clothes stores are located in the area around Murillo street, and on Warnes Avenue are numerous auto-part stores. On the other hand, the neighborhood has a relative lack of parks and squares.

title: Mexico Rocks

abstract: Mexico Rocks is a shallow patch reef complex located off the far northern tip of Ambergris Caye, and is part of the Belize Barrier Reef system in the Caribbean Sea. The site consists of approximately 100 Holocene patch reefs clustered on a Pleistocene ridge of limestone and is composed predominantly of boulder star corals. The reef has accumulated in shallow water, about 2.5 to 5 metres deep, over the last 420 years, under static sea level conditions. The site was recommended for designation as a marine preserve in 1978, and was approved in 2015 as a part of the Hol Chan Marine Reserve. The reef is popular among snorkelers and SCUBA divers, and it is seen as an important addition to Ambergris Caye's ecotourism attractions.

## Wildlife

Patch coral reefs that predominantly consist of *Montastraea annularis* are a rare occurrence in Belize; the only other such patch reefs in the country are located at Glover's Reef. In addition, staghorn coral (*Acropora cervicornis*) occurs on the ridge's windward and leeward flanks. Thirty species of hard coral have been identified at Mexico Rocks.

The reef is abundant in fish and invertebrate life. Common fish found at Mexico Rocks include Atlantic blue tang (*Acanthurus coeruleus*), yellowtail snapper (*Ocyurus chrysurus*), and southern stingray (*Dasyatis americana*). Nurse sharks (*Ginglymostoma cirratum*), and green moray eel (*Gymnothorax funebris*) are also found on the reef. Spiny lobster (*Pallinuridae*), conch (*Strombidae*), arrow crab (*Stenorhynchus seticornis*), banded shrimps (*Stenopus hispidus*), and many sponge species also inhabit the reef.

**Marks Air Force Base** is a former United States Air Force facility located two nautical miles (4 km) west of the central business district of Nome, a city in the Nome Census Area of the U.S. state of Alaska. It was named in honor of Major Jack S. Marks, a United States Army Air Forces pilot based at Ladd Army Airfield who died when his aircraft was shot down over the Aleutians in July 1942. Following its closure, it was redeveloped into Nome Airport.

## History

In World War II, the civilian Nome Airport shared use of the runway with **Marks Army Airfield** for transfer of Lend-Lease aircraft to the Soviet Union and in 1942, for air defense of the western coast of Alaska. Marks AAF units included the 404th Bombardment Squadron (July 18–28, 1942) of the 28th Bombardment Group and the 56th Fighter Squadron (June 20 – October 20, 1942) of the 54th Fighter Group. On August 15, 1947, the Arctic Indoctrination Survival School (colloquially known as "Cool School") was formed at Marks Army Air Base.

Renamed **Marks Air Force Base** in 1948, the military installation was used as a fighter-interceptor forward base until they were pulled back to Galena Airport. Marks AFB closed in 1950 and an air base squadron was at Nome Airport until December 1956.

## Facilities and aircraft

Marks Air Force Base resided at elevation of 38 feet (11 m) above mean sea level. It has two runways with asphalt surfaces: Runway 10/28 is 6,000 by 150 feet (1,829 x 46 m) and Runway 3/21 is 6,175 by 150 feet (1,882 x 46 m).
