Based on the strength of two self-released, full-length albums (On the Other Side and Songs in the Key of Awesome), their weekly "Live from Room 57" YouTube video series, and their 2011 EP release Rock 'n Roll Reserve, the band was the first signing to Aaron Abeyta (aka El Hefe) and his wife Jennifer Abeyta's record label Cyber Tracks in December 2011.

On May 29, 2012, Margate released a self-titled album on Cyber Tracks which was engineered, mixed and produced by El Hefe. The following week, the band headed out on tour to support NOFX in the Netherlands and UK, during which time they also shared the stage with U.K. Subs, Less Than Jake, Snuff (band), and Anti-Nowhere League.

Since returning to the states, Margate has played with Teenage Bottlerocket, Guttermouth, The Ataris, Death By Stereo, GFP, Union 13, Pour Habit, Nothington, The Dopamines, Go Betty Go and more, and has received regular radio play as a KROQ Locals Only band.

Margate's follow up LP on Cyber Tracks entitled Beards In Paradise was released on June 30, 2015, on limited edition yellow vinyl and digital download, and was followed by a West Coast tour. In April 2016, Margate released Strike Twelve & Margate: Do Each Other, a split 7-inch vinyl with Strike Twelve on Felony Records. In December 2016, the band released Snow Day, an EP of original Holiday themed songs on Cyber Tracks.

Schwanenstein

The Schwanenstein near Lohme

The Schwanenstein in the breakers

The Schwanenstein close up

The Schwanenstein is a glacial erratic on the island of Rügen in Germany. It lies about 100 metres east of the harbour at Lohme on the northern shore of the Jasmund peninsula about 20 metres off the beach in the Baltic Sea. It weighs 162 tonnes and has a volume of 60 m³. It is thus the fifth largest erratic of about 20 other large glacial boulders that are part of Rügen's legally protected geotopes. It is stylistically portrayed in Lohme's coat of arms.

Origin and features

The Schwanenstein is made of so-called hammer granite and was very probably transported here from the island of Bornholm during the last ice age. Its reddish appearance is due to the presence of a high proportion of potassium feldspar. On its west side a marked crevice runs through the stone that, over the course of time, has been enlarged by the crystallisation pressure of frozen ice and may well result in the shearing off of a large slab of rock in the near future.

Legends and stories

Like many other erratics, the Schwanenstein is linked to several legends and stories.


Schwanenstein

* According to one legend, babies were delivered on Rügen in summer by Adebar the stork and in winter by swans. Until then the children were hidden in the rock.
  * A sad incident occurred on 13 February 1956, when some boys from the orphanage and the village of Lohme were playing near the shore on the frozen Baltic Sea. The weather changed suddenly, a storm whipped up and broke the ice. Three boys saved themselves on the Schwanenstein. As the wind dramatically increased in strength a frantic rescue operation was launched. Local fishermen, a fishing boat from Sassnitz and border guards tried to save the children, but storm surge wrecked all their efforts. Rescue teams from outside, for example, an engineer platoon of the Volkspolizei from Prora, got stuck in the metre-high snowdrifts. Only the next morning, when the weather had calmed, could the bodies of the three boys, Helmut Petersen, Uwe Wassilowsky and Manfred Prewitz, be recovered from the Schwanenstein. They were buried in the cemetery of Nipmerow, in the parish of Lohme. 39 years later, on 14 February 1995, at the initiative of the children at Lohme orphanage, a memorial stone was erected at their grave.

Margate Surfboat

The Margate surfboat refers to three surfboats used for maritime rescue at Margate, on the eastern tip of Kent. They were run as cooperatives, with local boatmen clubbing together to buy them and then receiving a share of any salvage money received.

The first, the Friend of all Nations was wrecked in 1860 but returned to service until 1877. Nine crew of the second boat, Friend to all Nations, died in the storm of 1897, but the boat survived both that and being lost while under tow the following year. A memorial to the nine men stands on the Margate seafront.

A third boat was built in 1899 but by then surfboats powered by oar and sail had been largely superseded by lifeboats. The third boat served as a tender at Chatham during the Second World War and was lost off Ostend in 1957. All three were built by J. Samuel White of Cowes.

Friend of all Nations

After the dramatic rescue in January 1857 of the crew of the Northern Belle in which the Margate lugger Victory was lost with all hands, 50 boatmen decided to establish a dedicated surfboat service for maritime rescue.

This first boat, the Friend of all Nations could be launched by four men without the need of horses and entered service in November 1857.

She was almost wrecked on 13 February 1860 attempting to rescue the crew of the Spanish brig Samaritano, which, at about 5.30am, ran onto the Margate Sands in a squall. The alarm was sounded at daybreak by the lugger Eclipse, which sent eight men onto the brig, in the hope that she could be refloated at high tide. However the gale returned and they soon gave up hope of saving the ship. The small Margate boat was launched, but in their haste they did not secure their buoyancy tanks and were driven ashore, barely afloat, in Westgate Bay. Then the Friend of all Nations was launched but it too was overpowered by the storm and was driven onshore about a mile west of Margate. Eventually all those on the remains of the Samaritano were rescued by the Ramsgate lifeboat.

The Friend was repaired and returned to service. She capsized during a rescue in January 1866 and her crew spent 85 minutes in the winter seas before they were rescued.

Memorial to the Friend to all Nations, Margate

The Friend of all Nations being unfit for further service, funds were raised for a replacement. This new boat, the Friend to all Nations, was also built at White's and arrived in Margate on 6 July 1878.

The Friend to all Nations became famous in the great storm of 1897, which damaged much of Margate and destroyed the Switchback Railway.Persian Empire. However the Friend was hit by two waves in quick succession and capsized just off the Nayland Rock. Just four men made it to shore, of whom the medic Charles Troughton died on reaching land. The remaining nine were all beaten to a pulp on the rocks, except for Joseph Epps who was found, barely alive, underneath the capsized boat. Memorials were raised to the nine dead on the parade above Nayland Rock, and in Margate Cemetery.

Apart from the mast and rigging, the boat itself was not badly damaged and returned to service. However she was lost on the night of 30 November 1898 while under tow in the Kentish Knock. She was recovered as far away as Great Yarmouth and repaired, but was not used again.

1899 boat

A new boat was commissioned from White's, which was delivered in September 1899. This much larger boat - also called Friend to all Nations

One of her most notable rescues was that of 26 people from the sailing ship Marechal Suchet.

She continued in service at Margate until the Second World War, when she was requisitioned by the Royal Navy for service as a ship's tender in Chatham docks.

After the war she moved to Falmouth and made her final journey in 1957 when Willi Froelich, an ex Luftwaffe war prisoner, tried to sail his family home to Germany. They got into difficulty near Ostend and were taken under tow, but the hawser snapped. After drifting for a while, the surfboat broke her bow in rough seas and sank.

Politarch

On-site photograph of the 2nd century AD Politarch inscription in Thessaloniki.

Politarch (Greek: πολιτάρχης, politarches; plural πολιτάρχαι, politarchai) was a Hellenistic and Roman-era Macedonian title for an elected governor (archon) of a city (polis). The term had been already attested in the Acts of the Apostles (17:6,8) concerning Thessalonica, as well in modern archaeology. The institution is called Politarchate and the variant ptoliarchos appears in a poetic epigram. The first evidence of the title is dated to the reign of PerseusAmphipolis, where the king with two politarchs honoured Artemis Tauropolos after a Thracian campaign. One of the earliest extant inscriptions to use the term "Politarch" was located on the Vardar Gate in Thessaloniki. The Gate was unfortunately destroyed in 1876 but the inscription, which dates to the 2nd Century AD, can now been seen in the British Museum in London.

The title was also used for the local commissioners of the Greek provisional government during the Greek War of Independence.

Noring Terrace

Noring Terrace ( 76°49′00″S 160°40′00″E / 76.81667°S 160.66667°E) is a relatively level ice-covered terrace rising to 2,000 metres (6,600 ft) with an area of about 4 square miles between Mount Gunn and Mount Basurto in the southwest Convoy Range of Victoria Land. Ice from the terrace drains westward into Cambridge Glacier and also eastward in the short Scudding Glacier toward Battleship Promontory. It was named by the Advisory Committee on Antarctic Names in 2007 after Randy (Crunch) Noring who served 25 summer seasons and 3 winters in Antarctica between 1991 and 2019 at the South Pole and McMurdo Stations, working in operations, heavy equipment and fuels, and since 1999 as the Camp Manager at Marble Point in Victoria Land.

Richard Assheton of Middleton

Richard Assheton incorporated a memorial to Flodden in St Leonard's, Middleton

Richard Assheton or Ashton of Middleton (1483–1549) was an English soldier who fought at the battle of Flodden. He is known for rebuilding St. Leonard's Church, Middleton, and for commissioning stained-glass windows there to commemorate that battle. They are one of the oldest war memorials in England.

Ancestry

Richard's grandfather was Sir Ralph Assheton who was knighted by the Duke of Gloucester at the capture of Berwick (1482) and married Margaret Barton, the heiress of Middleton. Richard's father was Sir Richard Assheton (d. 28 April 1507) and mother, Isobel Talbot.

Flodden and the Flodden windows

Richard raised a company of archers to fight at the battle of Flodden in 1513 from Middleton, near Manchester. An heraldic visitation in 1533 by Clarenceux King of Arms Thomas Benolt noted that Richard had captured the courtier John Forman, sergeant porter to James IV of Scotland and Alexander Burnett, Sheriff of Aberdeen, at Flodden.Berwick upon Tweed where he identified the body of James IV of Scotland.

Richard continued the rebuilding the parish church of St. Leonard's at Middleton. He commissioned the "Flodden Windows" depicting himself and his wife, and seventeen captains of the archers, and the priest Henry Taylor who blessed them before the battle, commemorating them each by name in stained glass. The windows are one of the oldest war memorials in England, second in date to All Souls College, Oxford, founded in 1438 with the provision that its fellows should pray for those killed in the French wars.


Richard Assheton of Middleton

The main inscription on the glass was, as described in 1845; "Orate pro bono statu Richardi Assheton et eorum qui hanc fenestra(m) fieri fecerunt quoru(m) no(m)ina et imagines ut supra ostendatur. Anno d(omi)ni, MCCCCC(X)V", meaning "Pray for the wellbeing of Richard Assheton and those whose names and images they caused to be made in the window shown above, 1515." As there was no "X" in the painted date, it has been argued that the window dates from the decade before Flodden, and commemorates a religious confraternity of archers.

The legible names included; Henricus Taylyer, Richard Kylw (or Wyld), Hughe Chetham, James Gerrarde, John Pylkyngton, Philipe Werburton, William (Ste)le, John Scolefede, Wylliam (—), James Taylier, Roger Blomeley, Crystofer Smythe, Henry Whitaker, Robart Prestwyche, and Richard Bexwicke.

The window is described in a 17th-century poem Iter Lancastrense by Richard James, c.1636;

Now go we to the church of Middleton
To find out there some glory of our own
At charge of those good men who went out far
In suite of brave Ashton to the warre
There stands a painted window, where I weene
The show of their departure may be seene
The Lord and Ladye first in skarlett; then
One neere attending of ye chiefest men
Their garments long, his short and bliew, behinde
The chaplaine of ye warfare you may finde
In robe of ye same colour, for to say
Before an altar praiers of ye daye
On bended knees; him follow neighbours bould
Whoe doe bent bowes on their left shoulders hould
Their girdle sheaft with arrowes; as the squire
So are they all, court mantells in attire
Of blewe; like Greeks in Trojan warre, their haire
In curles long dangling makes ye semblance faire
And sterne; each hath his name, and people tell
That on ye same lands now their children dwell
As yet so called.


Richard Assheton of Middleton

Originally there was more than one window, with Richard and his wife shown separately, since 1847 the remaining glass forms one window. The window was restored again in 2012.

Family

Richard married Anne Foulshurst, daughter of Sir Robert Foulshurst of Crewe, their son was Richard Assheton of Middleton who married firstly Anne Strickland, and secondly Anne Lady Bellingham.

The Asshetons of Great Lever, Lancashire were Richard's cousins. Two were members of parliament; Richard Assheton of Whalley and Downham, Lancashire, and his half brother Ralph Assheton of Great Lever at Middleton, who was Member of Parliament for Liverpool in 1553.

Lombard band

Lombard band in the Basilica di Santa Giulia, northern Italy

A Lombard band is a decorative blind arcade, usually located on the exterior of building. It was frequently used during the Romanesque and Gothic periods of Western architecture. It resembles a frieze of arches.

Lombard bands are believed to have been first used during the First Romanesque period, in the early 11th century. At that time, they were the most common architectural decorative motif for facades in regions such as Lombardy, Aragon and Catalonia. Arches of early Christian buildings of Ravenna, such as the Mausoleum of Galla Placidia, have been suggested as the origin of Lombard bands.

Margatoxin

Margatoxin (MgTX) is a peptide that selectively inhibits Kv1.3 voltage-dependent potassium channels. It is found in the venom of Centruroides margaritatus, also known as the Central American Bark Scorpion. Margatoxin was first discovered in 1993. It was purified from scorpion venom and its amino acid sequence was determined.

Structure

Margatoxin is a peptide of 39 amino acids with a molecular weight of 4185 Dalton. The primary amino acid sequence of margatoxin is as follows:

Thr-Ile-Ile-Asn-Val-Lys-Cys-Thr-Ser-Pro-Lys-Gln-Cys-Leu-Pro-Pro-Cys-Lys-Ala-Gln-Phe-Gly-Gln-Ser-Ala-Gly-Ala-Lys-Cys-Met-Asn-Gly-Lys-Cys-Lys-Cys-Tyr-Pro-His

Or, when translated to one-letter sequence,

TIINVKCTSPKQCLPPCKAQFGQSAGAKCMNGKCKCYPH.

There are disulfide bridges between Cys7-Cys29, Cys13-Cys34 and Cys17-Cys36.
Margatoxin is classified as a "scorpion short toxin" by Pfam, showing sequence homology with other potassium channel blockers, such as charybdotoxin (44%), kaliotoxin (54%), iberiotoxin (41%) and noxiustoxin (79%), which are also derived from scorpion venom.

Synthesis


Margatoxin

Synthesis

Margatoxin is a peptide originally purified from the venom of the scorpion Centrutoides margaritatus (Central American Bark Scorpion). Scorpion toxins are specific and have a high affinity for their targets, and this makes them good tools to characterize various receptor proteins involved in ion channel functioning. Because only low amounts of natural toxins can be isolated from scorpion venoms, a chemical synthesis approach has been utilised to produce sufficient protein for research. This approach is not only produces enough material to study the effects on potassium channels but ensures purity as toxin isolated from the scorpion venom risks contamination by other active compounds.

Margatoxin can be chemically synthesized using the solid phase synthesis technique. The compound gained by this technique was compared with the natural, purified margatoxin. Both compounds had the same physical and biological properties. The chemically synthesized margatoxin is now used to study the role of Kv1.3 channels.

Mechanism of action

Margatoxin blocks potassium channels Kv1.1 Kv1.2 en Kv1.3. Kv1.2 channel regulates neurotransmitter release associated with heart rate, insulin secretion, neuronal excitability, epithelial electrolyte transport, smooth muscle contraction, immunological response and cell volume. Kv1.3 channels are expressed in T and B lymphocytes.

Influence on cardiovascular function

Margatoxin significantly reduces outward currents of Kv1.3 channels and depolarized resting membrane potential. It increases the time necessary to conduct action potentials in the cell in response to a stimulus. Acetylcholine (ACh) plays a key role in activation of nicotinic and muscarinic ACh-receptors. Margatoxin influences nicotinic ACh-receptor agonist-induced norepinephrine release. Upon activation of muscarinic ACh receptors with bethanechol, margatoxin-sensitive current was suppressed. Therefore, it was concluded that Kv1.3 affects the function of postganglionic sympathetic neurons, so one could suggest that Kv1.3 influences sympathetic control of cardiovascular function.

Immune system suppression


Margatoxin

Immune system suppression

Kv1.3-channels can be found in various cells, including T-lymphocytes and macrophages. To activate an immune response a T-lymphocyte has to come into contact with a macrophage. The macrophage can then produce cytokines, such as IL-1, IL-6, and TNF-α. Cytokines are cell signaling molecules that can enhance the immune response. Kv1.3-channels are important for the activation of T-lymphocytes, and thus for the activation of macrophages. The disturbance of the function of Kv1.3-channels, for example due to inhibition of these channels, will lower the cytokines production and lymphocyte proliferation in vitro. This would lead to immune response suppression in vivo.

Kv channels are regulated during proliferation and regulation of macrophages and their activity is important during cell responses. In contrast to leukocytes which have monomeric Kv1.3 channels, macrophages have heterotetrameric Kv1.3/Kv1.5 channels. These heterotetramers plays a role in regulating the membrane potential of macrophages on different stages of macrophage activation by lymphocytes. Potassium channels are involved in leukocyte activation by calcium. The possible different conformations of these Kv1.3 and 1.5 complexes can affect the immune response. Margatoxin inhibits Kv1.3 channels, so no heterodimers can be formed. The effect of margatoxin is similar to the effect of DEX. DEX diminishes amount of K1.3 channels by binding to GC receptor, which leads to downregulating of expression of K1.3 channels. Both margatoxin and DEX lead to immune suppression.

Effects on ion channels in lymphocytes


Margatoxin

Effects on ion channels in lymphocytes

Ion channels play a key role in lymphocyte signal transduction. Potassium channels are required for the activation of T-cells. Pharmacological inhibition of Potassium channels can be useful in the treatment of immune diseases. The membrane potential exerts powerful effects on the lymphocyte activation. The resting potential results primarily from a potassium-diffusion potential contributed by potassium channels. Margatoxin depolarizes resting human T cells. Pharmacological studies suggest that functional potassium channels are required in the activation of T- and B-cells. KV channel blockers inhibit activation, gene expression, killing by cytotoxic T cells and NK cells, lymphokine secretion and proliferation. Margatoxin blocks mitogen-induced proliferation, the mixed lymphocyte response and the secretion of Interleukin-2 and interferon-gamma (IFN-γ). This provides the strongest available evidence for a role of KV channels in mitogenesis.

Toxicity

Margatoxin can have several different effects on the body:

  * May cause skin irritation
  * May be harmful if absorbed through the skin
  * May cause eye irritation
  * May be harmful if inhaled
  * Material may be irritating to mucous membranes and upper respiratory tract
  * May be harmful if swallowed
  * Prolonged or repeated exposure may cause allergic reactions in certain sensitive individuals
  * May be fatal if enters bloodstream

The chronic effects target the heart, nerves, lungs, skeleton and muscles.

The median lethal dose (LD50) of margatoxin is 59.9 mg/kg, so Centruroides margaritatus stings are not dangerous to humans except as a result of possible anaphylactic responses. They do cause pain, local swelling, and tingling for 3–4 hours, but no intervention beyond symptomatic relief should be necessary.

Effects on animals

Margatoxin leads to the depolarization of human and pig cells in vitro.allogenic immunization and inhibits the delayed-type hypersensitivity reaction to tuberculin.half-life is two hours. When the peptide is continuously infused, it leads to diarrhea and hypersalivation.

Efficacy and side effects


Margatoxin

Efficacy and side effects

Kv1.3 is already linked with proliferation of lymphocytes, vascular smooth cells, oligodendrocytes and cancer cells. Recent studies

In a minipig treatment a study with margatoxin has been conducted. An eight-day treatment led to a prolonged immune suppression that lasted three to four weeks after termination of dosing. Thymic atrophy (reduced thymus) was observed. Especially the cells in the cortical region had decreased in number

Medicinal significance

Neointimal Hyperplasia is the movement and proliferation of smooth muscle cells into the luminal area of a blood vessel. This generates a new inner structure that can block blood flow. This is commonly seen to cause failure of interventional clinical procedures that include placement of stents and bypass grafts.

Due to changes in potassium channel type the vascular smooth muscle cells switch from the contractile to proliferating phenotype. It is suggested that Kv1.3 is important in proliferating vascular smooth muscle cells. Inhibitors of such channels suppress vascular smooth muscle proliferation, stenosis following injury, and neointimal hyperplasia. Studies shows that margatoxin is a high potency inhibitor of vascular cell migration, with an IC50 (half maximal inhibitory concentration) of 85 pM. In this study, a negative effect was also found. There have been vasoconstrictor effects observed in some arteries, but elevated blood pressure has not appeared as a significant concern.

Schwanebeck

Schwanebeck is a small town in the district of Harz, in Saxony-Anhalt, Germany. It is part of the Verbandsgemeinde ("collective municipality") Vorharz.

St Peter's Church

The municipal area is situated northeast of Halberstadt, on the Bundesstraße 245 highway to Hamersleben. Since 2010, it also comprises the former municipality of Nienhagen.

History

A Saxon settlement at the site was first mentioned in a 1062 deed. The area belonged to the Prince-Bishopric of Halberstadt, which after the Protestant Reformation was finally secularised according to the 1648 Peace of Westphalia.

The Schwanebeck citizens received town privileges in 1270. Bishop Albert II of Halberstadt had a chapel erected in 1334 which soon became a major pilgrimage site. The present parish church dedicated to St Peter was erected about 1345 and rebuilt in a Baroque style in the late 17th century. With the Brandenburg Principality of Halberstadt, Schwanebeck was incorporated into the Prussian Province of Saxony by 1817.

Harbiye Muhsin Ertuğrul Stage

This article is about the theatre in Istanbul. For the theatre in Ankara, see Muhsin Ertuğrul Sahnesi.

Harbiye Muhsin Ertuğrul Stage (Turkish: Harbiye Muhsin Ertuğrul Sahnesi) is a theatre venue in the Harbiye neighborhood of Şişli district in Istanbul, Turkey. It is owned by Istanbul Metropolitan Municipality and operated by its City Theatres (Şehir Tiyatroları) division.Muhsin Ertuğrul (1892-1979).

The Muhsin Ertuğrul theatre was initially opened in 1964. The old building at the same location was partly demolished to make place for a bigger and modern one.₺17 million, and the theatre was reopened on January 14, 2010.Istanbul Congress Center, a multi-level complex, which was built to host the 2009 IMF and World Bank Group Annual Meeting.

The old theatre had lowered its stage curtain after a performance of Keşanlı Ali Destanı (Keşanlı Ali’s Epic), a musical play by the renowned Turkish playwright Haldun Taner (1915-1986). It was also the same musical play that was staged on the reopening of the new theatre venue.

Facilities

The covered area of the new theatre building is double so big as of the old building. It has a 400 m2 (4,300 sq ft) foyer.

The heatre has a rotating stage and an orchestra pit. Six dressing rooms for actors, two rehearsal rooms, and rooms for lighting and sound personnel are incorporated in the building.

The theater is connected with Istanbul Congress Center, and with a passage to Istanbul Lütfi Kırdar Convention and Exhibition Center across the street, which is closed to traffic. A car park capable of 1,000 vehicles is available under the building.

Richard Assmann

For the early victim of the Nazis, see Richard Aßmann (works council chairman). For the Canadian television personality, see Dick Assman.

Richard Assmann (Anglicized spelling of the German name Richard Aßmann) (13 April 1845 in Magdeburg – 28 May 1918 in Gießen) was a German meteorologist and physician who was a native of Magdeburg. He made numerous contributions in high altitude research of the Earth's atmosphere. He was a pioneer of scientific aeronautics and considered a co-founder of aerology.

In 1868 he received his medical doctorate in Berlin, and from 1870 to 1879 was a general practitioner in Bad Freienwalde. In 1879 he returned to Magdeburg to practice medicine. In 1885 he earned a doctorate in secondary studies at the Faculty of Philosophy at the University of Halle, and subsequently became a scientific officer at the Royal Meteorological Institute at Berlin-Grünau. From 1905 to 1914 Assmann was director of the Prussian Royal Aeronautical Observatory at Lindenberg, and afterwards was an honorary professor at the University of Giessen.

From 1887 to 1892, with airship designer Rudolf Hans Bartsch von Sigsfeld (1861–1902), he developed a psychrometer for accurate measurement of atmospheric humidity and temperature. This was the first instrument that was able to provide reliable temperature readings with high altitude balloons, as it was capable of shielding its thermometric elements from solar radiation. The technical implementation and production of this device took place in the factory of Rudolf Fuess (1838–1917).

Threefold aspiration-psychrometer (Assmann type, prior to 1900)

From 1888 to 1899, he was a member of the Verein zur Förderung der Luftschifffahrt, from which he organized scientific balloon ascents in order to study the atmosphere. From these studies, valuable insights in regards to atmospheric stratification of the troposphere were made.Das Wetter (The Weather).

With Léon Teisserenc de Bort (1855–1913), he is credited as co-discoverer of the stratosphere, as both men announced their discovery during the same time period in 1902.

In 1903, with meteorologist Arthur Berson (1859–1942), he was awarded the Buys Ballot Medal by the Royal Netherlands Academy of Sciences.

Location of Khan Bani Sad Air Base, Iraq

Khan Bani Sad Air Base is a former Iraqi Air Force base in the Diyala Governorate of Iraq. It was captured by Coalition forces during the Iraq War in 2003.

Overview

The facility was a primary air base for the Iraqi Air Force prior to Operation Desert Storm in 1991. In the late 1980s military researchers at the Khan Bani Saad airfield north of Baghdad tested the Zubaidy device, a helicopter-mounted contraption that could disperse bacteriological agents from the air. In the 1990s UN inspectors believed that a dozen Zubaidy devices were built. But the spraying units never were confirmed to have been destroyed.

After the 1991 cease-fire after the Gulf War, the base was officially transferred to the Iraqi Ministry of Agriculture. The Al-Baraj plant at Khan Bani Saad produces alcoholic drinks.

On 1 December 2002 a new contingent of UN inspectors returned to the airfield to search for information about the devices. They spent five hours at the site, inspecting three large camouflage-painted hangars and a collection of Soviet-made helicopters, chemical tanks and spraying nozzles scattered on the tarmac.

On 2 December 2002 inspectors from the International Atomic Energy Agency visited the Awali, Baraj and Dahab companies, which use the nectar of dates to make a potent and popular gin and an anise-flavored spirit called arak that is sold for 75 cents a bottle. The IAEA inspection team went to three small industrial sites, two of which had never been accessed by any inspection teams before. These sites are located approximately 20 km north of Baghdad. Access was granted immediately and inspections were completed as planned, with the cooperation of the Iraqi counterpart. The three sites proved to be dedicated to the production of alcohol.

According to Iraqis, the tanks, nozzles and helicopters are used to spray pesticides on crops. The helicopters fly to farms, where the side-mounted tanks are filled before pilots commence spraying operations. The facility has about 25 aging Soviet Mi-2 helicopters, but only about nine work.

The facility was seized in 2003 by coalition military forces during the Iraq War. Today the airfield is abandoned, with a few small buildings in use.

Hornachos

Hornachos is a municipality located in the province of Badajoz, Extremadura, Spain. According to the 2005 census (INE), the municipality has a population of 3,840 inhabitants.

History

The first human settlements in the mountain range of Hornachos are dated from prehistoric times as shown by the cave paintings in the quartzite rocks. These paintings were made between the Neolithic and the Bronze Age, around 2,000-3,000 BCE.

The city was occupied during the Roman period and it was then when it received the name of Fornacis due to the iron mines and where the name 'Hornachos' ultimately derives. Archaeological evidence (Hornachuelos Oppidum) shows that the site had certain importance in Emerita Augusta during the 2nd and 1st centuries BCE. During the Visigoths' time the tradition sets Hornachos as the refuge of Saint Hermenegild when escaping from his father, King Leovigild.

The defensive fortress crowning the village was built during the Al-Andalus period. In 1234 Hornachos was occupied by the Order of Santiago, as a land grant by Ferdinand III of Castile,Morisco after 1502- population. Nevertheless, at the end of the 16th century the village was surrounded by a wall and there were more than 10,000 inhabitants, being the most important Morisco centre in Spain. The Spanish captain Alonso de Contreras narrates in his memoir how he found a stash of arms stored by some Moriscos, and years later was accused of planning a revolt with said Moriscos. On April 9, 1609, King Philip III of Spain decreed the expulsion of the Moriscos. The village underwent a period of decline.

These moriscos refugees settled in Morocco, near Bou Regreg and Salé (modern-day Rabat), and went on to create a small independent maritime republic, known as the Republic of Bou Regreg or Republic of Salé, which was a haven for corsair activity in the region.

Nowadays the village keeps the heritage from the past in its steep streets following the Moorish building schemes as it is shown in places as Ribera, San Francisco, Chamorro, Peña, Enfermería o Plata, Tellada, Larga, Gata, Nogueras, etc.


Hornachos

Sites of interest

The most characteristic and outstanding site of Hornachos is its castle built on the top of the hill by the berbers in the 9th century and whose remains observe the daily life of the hornachegos.

Other of the most relevant monuments of Hornachos is the Church of the Purísima Concepción, a Mudejar work which stands as a unique example in the region and which has been recently declared Monument of Historical and Artistic Interest in Extremadura.

Purísima Concepción Church

The building is characterised by the use of brick as the main material and the dominant geometrical character, distinctly Islamic, emerged conspicuously in the accessory crafts using cheap materials elaborately worked—tilework, brickwork, wood carving, plaster carving, and ornamental metals. The tiling patterns stand out as the Ferdinand and Isabella coat of arms. The church tower has 24 spaces, 6 in each side.

Other landmarks

Other landmarks include the Franciscan Convent of San Ildefonso, founded in 1526 by Charles I of Spain, and which keeps a rich set of altarpieces, paintings and sculptures. In its facade, nowadays very damaged, still displays the original imperial coat of arms of Charles I.

An important site is the Church of the Remedios, built in XVI and remodeled in 1892, surrounded by a square covered by palm trees and where the festivities of September are celebrated.

Very relevant within the Hornachos' monuments are its traditional fountains as Los Moros, Los Cristianos, Palomas, Cuatro Caños, Ribera, San Francisco, Almagrera, Maxicaco, San Roque, Santa, Nueva, etc.

El Pósito, situated in the outskirts of the village, was used by the moriscos as a mosque and it has been recently restored.

Geography: flora and fauna


Hornachos

Geography: flora and fauna

The Hornachos mountain range constitutes the southerner mountains of the Central Sierras of Badajoz. The most important formations are the Sierra Grande and the Sierra de los Pinos with a maximum height of 951 m in the Hornachos Hill. The main rivers which flow along the area are the Palomillas river and the Matachel. The most characteristic elements of the landscape is the dehesa or meadow of holm-oaks and cork oaks. The rest has a Mediterranean vegetation, characterized by drought-resistant plants, commonly reduced to scrub status (matorral). Some common plants are also the retama sphaerocarpa, the genista hirsuta, the erica australis and the narrow-leaved cistus.

Dehesa

In the highest part of the Sierra the Juniperus oxycedrus appears with great splendor. There are more than 600 ha. inside the protected area ZEC-ZEPA. Within this area a curious plant, the Erodium mouretii, grows being an endemic species only present in some spots of Extremadura, Andalusia and Northern Morocco.

Sierra

The Sierra is the ideal setting for plentiful animal life, being outstanding the great variety of birds of prey. Within the ZEC-ZEPA area more than 228 different species have been found, a high number if we take into account the limited zone (12,000 ha). The Spanish imperial eagle and other large birds such as the vulture, the eagle owl, the buzzard, the falcon, the kite are native of these mountains. During autumn and winter the Sierra also becomes the shelter for migrant birds such as the European robin or the pyrrhula.

The association ADENEX is responsible for a Natural Reserve and research centre in this location.

Finally another appealing natural spot is the reservoir of Los Molinos.

Feast and traditions


Hornachos

Feast and traditions

Most of the festivities which take place in Hornachos have their origin in religious traditions. One of the most important is the Candelas, celebrated on 2 February. The inhabitants gather around huge bonfires, where is thought that all the evil spirits and the previous bad experiences are burnt. In February Hornachos celebrates the carnival, the merrymaking and festivity that takes place in the last days and hours before the Lenten season. Home-made and elaborate costumes, parades, parties and various other festivities mark such celebration.

The Holy Week, the week between Palm Sunday and Easter, is observed with special solemnity as a time of devotion to the passion of Jesus Christ beginning with the traditional blessing and procession of palms and olive branches. The end of celebration is on Easter Sunday when the traditional white cakes are blessed. On 15 May, San Isidro, Hornachos begins a traditional feast where all the inhabitants share a nice country day to eat and drink with their neighbours. The religious festivity of San Juan is celebrated on 24 June, where the Night of the Fire- the Night of the Water takes place. People wet their heads in the San Francisco basin, with the belief that they will not suffer headaches until the following year. In the middle of August, the Emigrant feast is held dedicated to the ones who had to abandon their village and who usually return on this date. However the most important festivity begins 8 September, Nuestra Señora de los Remedios, patroness of Hornachos, where the whole village organizes parties, shows and encierros ("enclosing") of the bulls, when they are driven through the streets behind crowds of skillfully dodging men and boys.
