Mike Opat

Michael Joseph Opat (born March 25, 1961) is an American politician from the U.S. state of Minnesota. He serves on the Hennepin County Board of Commissioners, the governing body for the largest county in Minnesota, with more than 1.25 million residents and an annual budget of $2.4 billion.Brooklyn Center, Brooklyn Park, Crystal, New Hope, Osseo, and Robbinsdale. In his time on the County Board, Opat has led, among other initiatives, policy and governance changes at Hennepin County Medical Center, numerous advancements in public infrastructure including the revitalization of the Humboldt Greenway, reconstruction of Highway 100 in the northern suburbs, construction of the new Brookdale library, the construction of Target Field and expansion of the Twin Cities area transit network, including the planned Bottineau Light Rail line along County Road 81 through the northern part of the county.

Opat has been described as one of the "most aggressive local government leaders",Minnesota Democratic-Farmer-Labor Party (DFL) nomination for governor of Minnesota in the 2010 election.

Early life, education, and career

Opat was born on March 25, 1961, in North Minneapolis to mother Joan and father Harold Opat, an Ironworker. Opat attended the University of Minnesota - Twin Cities while working full-time at the Hennepin County Adult Correctional Facility, also known as the county "workhouse", and coaching basketball.Harvard University Kennedy School of Government.Masters of Public Policy from Harvard in 1989, Opat was promoted to Shift Supervisor and worked three more years at the workhouse before running for public office in 1992.

Opat describes himself as a "lifelong Democrat,

He endorsed then Senator Barack Obama via a letter to the Star Tribune in January 2008, saying the election was "the most important" in his lifetime. He cited the importance of Obama's domestic agenda to improve our infrastructure through road and transit initiatives, as well as the prospects of reasonable immigration policy. Opat's district includes more Liberian immigrants than anywhere in Minnesota.

Health care and human services

HCMC and Governance

Between 1997 and 2003, HCMC lost about $17 million annually in federal and state support and was unable to continue making significant investments in new technology, facilities maintenance and employee compensation. In addition, uncompensated care cases were increasing, putting more demand on HCMC's services. In 2004, Opat led the charge for a change in the governing structure of HCMC, which, as Hennepin County's hospital, was governed by the County Board.

Opat led the adoption of a task force's proposal to transfer day-to-day management of the hospital from the County Board to Hennepin Healthcare Systems Inc., a nonprofit governing board composed of doctors, local professionals, health-care executives and two county commissioners (Opat and Randy Johnson)."uncompensated care" losses.

The Minneapolis Star Tribune's editorial board called the new governance proposal "...a serious effort to solve a problem that no one else wants to acknowledge." The change went into effect in January 2007.hyperbaric medicine and obstetrics, and has consistently earned a spot on U.S. News & World Report's list of best hospitals.

Developmental disabilities

In his 2009 State of the County address, Opat said that Hennepin County can never forget that it must be the face and the voice of the most vulnerable people — the poor, sick, aged, developmentally disabled, blind, deaf and hard-of-hearing. Opat is the legal guardian of his brother, who is developmentally disabled,Special Olympics Board of Directors.

Public infrastructure

Bottineau Boulevard Transit

  * see also Bottineau Boulevard Transitway

Bottineau Boulevard, also known as County Road 81, is a transport corridor that extends between Downtown Minneapolis and North Minneapolis through the northwest suburbs of the Twin Cities including; Golden Valley, Crystal, Robbinsdale, Osseo, Brooklyn Park and Maple Grove. In addition, Bottineau extends through the rapidly growing communities of Dayton, Rogers, and Hassan Township.

Home to a major hospital (North Memorial), North Hennepin Community College, Hennepin Technical College, a railway, two lakes, three creeks, and a major regional park,"Metropolitan Council 2030 Transportation Policy Plan" as a corridor to advance for development as a busway.

However, due to the success of the METRO Blue Line Light Rail and lobbying by Opat, as well as the evolution of land use on the corridor, the mode choice was designated as a light rail transit corridor.

CTIB

Further information: Counties Transit Improvement Board

In April 2008, the Hennepin County Board voted to enter into a joint powers agreement with Anoka County, Dakota County, and Ramsey County to form the Counties Transit Improvement Board (CTIB). These counties adopted a 0.25% sales tax that is used to fund expansion of metropolitan transit projects, including light rail and commuter rail. The board named Opat and Commissioner Peter McLaughlin as Hennepin County's representatives on CTIB. On the same day, Opat offered two amendments to the board, acting as the Hennepin County Regional Rail Authority (HCRRA), one of which named the Bottineau, Central, and Southwest corridors as "priority transit corridors" for Hennepin County. The other directed a property tax cut of more than 50% subsequent to the enactment of the sales tax.


Mike Opat

In 2017, as permitted in the CTIB bylaws, the organization was dissolved so that the county could pursue its preferred transit priorities. Hennepin County is thus working to build two light rail transit lines.

Victory Memorial Drive

Guided by the legislatively created Victory Memorial Drive Task Force, which is co-chaired by Opat and Commissioner Mark Stenglein,

 1. Restoring the historic street grid and parkway, and extending the green space.
 2. Revitalizing the flagpole plaza.
 3. Adding historic gateway monuments and entrances to the parkway at Humboldt Avenue North on the east, and Lowry Avenue North on the south.
 4. Removing or replanting elm trees, using multiple species that are resistant to Dutch Elm disease, and restoring the rank-and-file grid that is at the heart of the memorial.

In 2009, the Minnesota State Legislature awarded $1 million in the Omnibus Bonding Bill for the project, as well as $40,000 in the "Omnibus Cultural and Outdoor Resources Finance Bill" for parks and trails.

REPP

Opat also launched the Roadside Enhancement Partnership Program, designed to beautify the pedestrian areas near roadways, including streetscapes, sidewalks, landscaping, masonry and public art.

Humboldt Greenway/Shingle Creek Parkway

The Humboldt Greenway project is the revitalization of the Shingle Creek and Lind-Bohanon neighborhoods by changing the character of Humboldt Avenue North to a landscaped greenway. Opat is credited for leading the revitalization for the avenue in the mid-1990s.Victory Memorial Drive.

In 2002, Commonbond Communities opened the first of 235 housing units, named Shingle Creek Commons. The Commons is a 75-unit retirement living community, which addressed the needed supply in the area for senior rental housing.

In 2008, Kingsley Commons was completed on the Greenway, featuring 25 units, and becoming one of the nation's first apartment buildings designed to provide independent living to people with multiple sclerosis.

At some point in 2019, all lots available along the Greenway will be developed. The revitalization will then be complete.

Public safety

Productive Day

Public safety

Productive Day

In 1994 Opat launched the "Productive Day" initiative which required inmates serving longer than a 15-day sentence at the Hennepin County Adult Correctional Facility to work or go to school for at least 8 hours per day.

Crime

In November 2007, while outside his home in Robbinsdale, Opat was attacked by two assailants, one of whom wielded a sawed off shotgun. He was hit with the butt of the gun, then knocked down, kicked, and punched. While lying in the alley, Opat grabbed the gun barrel and broke free, running to safety. He lost his vehicle, his wallet, and his cellphone, but escaped with only minor injuries.

In his 2009 State of the County address, Opat proposed an initiative to form a crime lab work group to examine crime lab services, such as DNA analysis and identification in Hennepin County, and make recommendations for the efficiencies of the services of the Hennepin County Sheriff's Office and the City of Minneapolis Police Department.

Minnesota Twins ballpark

Target Field construction in March 2009.

Further information: Target Field

In 2006, Commissioner Opat led the effort with the Minnesota Twins to finance and build the new outdoor ballpark in downtown Minneapolis. This was despite the fact that "Public opinion polls have shown that a majority of Minnesotans don't favor public financing for stadiums."

Construction

"I am proud that we are building this important public amenity at a time when jobs are crucial," Opat has said "It's the first of many investments on the new edge of downtown Minneapolis, and will pay many dividends into the future."

Chairmanships

2001–2003

Since his election, Opat was a frequent critic of Chairman Randy Johnson, and was a behind the scenes competitor for the chairmanship four times between 1992 and 2000.

2009–2015

The board unanimously elected Opat chairman once more in January 2009 and through 2015.

2009 State of the County Address


Mike Opat

2009 State of the County Address

In April 2009, in what was called a "powerful performance by an unlikely star in Minnesota politics,"University of Minnesota Carlson School of Management. Noting the "bleak times" for public institutions like Hennepin County with many low-income residents, Opat stated that "the state of Hennepin County is challenged, but not imperiled,

Opat proposed three new initiatives:

 1. A framework for the county to award up to $2 million each year in capital grants for youth activities in Hennepin, as part of the ballpark project.
 2. An Urban Lakes Initiative that would address the water quality of badly impaired lakes in the county's inner-ring suburbs. Opat cited recent water-quality tests that gave either a "D" or "F" to 25 lakes in the county,
 3. A crime lab workgroup composed of public safety experts to examine crime lab services in the county and study options for combining the crime labs of the Hennepin County Sheriff's Office and the Minneapolis Police Department and make recommendations this fall to the Hennepin County Board.

A local blogger said the address as demonstrated "a progressive in command of his message and in sync with his constituents."

Controversy

Mike Opat is a defendant in a defamation lawsuit brought forth by Kevin and Valerie Holler.

Comments by Opat and Stenglein "might be read specifically as intending to damage the Hollers' reputation and to shame them into selling the property," wrote a three-judge panel of the state Court of Appeals. Reports the Star Tribune.

The Minnesota Appeals Court decision can be found on the mn.gov website: http://mn.gov/lawlib/archive/ctapun/2014/opa131014-020314.pdf

Hennepin County Attorney's office disagreed with the three judge panel of the Court of Appeals and petitioned the Supreme Court of Minnesota for further review. The petition was denied (April 15, 2014; number 19 of 37).


Pajkež

Pajkež (pronounced [ˈpaːi̯kɛʃ]; also Zgornja Blaževica,German: OberblaschowitzMunicipality of Dolenjske Toplice in southern Slovenia. The area is part of the traditional region of Lower Carniola and is now included in the Southeast Slovenia Statistical Region.Dobindol.

Name

The name Pajkež is believed to derive from the surname Pajek.Zgornja Blaževica, semantically corresponds to the German name Oberblaschowitz, both literally meaning 'upper Blaževica/Blaschowitz'. The epithet 'upper' distinguished the village from neighboring (Spodnja) Blaževica (German: Unterblaschowitz), literally 'lower Blaževica/Blaschowitz'.

History

Pajkež was a Gottschee German village. It was not mentioned in the land registry of 1574 and presumably had not yet been founded by that date.

Cultural heritage

Old maps of the village mark two shrines: one stood 200 m to the north of the settlement, on the road to the hamlet of Pleš in Dobindol, and the other stood 700 m to the southeast, along the road to the hamlet of Seč in Travni Dol. A plantation of 88 trees was planted at the site in 1982 to mark the 88 years of the life of Josip Broz Tito and a commemorative plaque installed. A plaque was also installed on the hunting lodge in 1982, commemorating a Partisan radio station that operated at the site in 1943.

Armand de Gontaut

Armand de Gontaut, baron de Biron (French pronunciation: [aʁmɑ̃ də ɡɔ̃to], 1524 – 26 July 1592) was a soldier, diplomat and Marshal of France. Beginning his service during the Italian Wars, Biron served in Italy under Marshal Brissac and Guise in 1557 before rising to command his own cavalry regiment. Returning to France with the Peace of Cateau-Cambresis he took up his duties in Guyenne, where he observed the deteriorating religious situation that was soon to devolve into the French Wars of Religion. He fought at the Battle of Dreux in the first civil war. In the peace that followed he attempted to enforce the terms on the rebellious governorship of Provence.

Having fought for the crown during the decisive victory at Battle of Moncontour in 1569, he was elevated to the post of grandmaster of artillery. In this role he was tasked with reducing the town of Saint-Jean-d'Angély which proved resistant to his efforts. As the war dragged on he found himself increasingly involved in diplomatic efforts, meeting with Jeanne d'Albret repeatedly to talk terms. With peace declared in August 1570 he continued his negotiations with Albret in the hopes of setting up a marriage between her son Navarre and Margaret of Valois. In the wake of the Massacre of Saint Bartholomew he was tasked with reducing the well defended city of La Rochelle, commanding the artillery batteries he made limited progress over the following months, before Anjou oversaw peace negotiations so that he might depart for the Poland-Lithuanian Commonwealth.


Armand de Gontaut

Upon Henri III's ascent as French king Biron was appointed as a Marshal. His forces were involved in containing Condé as he tried to re-enter France during the fifth civil war. He was involved again as a diplomat in conducting negotiations in the late 1570s, fighting again in the sixth civil war. When in 1573 Alençon who had become sovereign of the Dutch requested reinforcements to secure his position in the country. Biron led troops to support his administration. He would not be involved in the French Fury that saw Alençon's position collapse in the country. With the dominance of the Ligue in the following years Biron half heartedly pursued their objectives before supporting Henri when he broke with the Ligue in 1588. With the king's death in 1589, he transferred his loyalties to Navarre, aiding him in his campaigns in Normandy against the Ligue. It was during a siege of a Ligue town that he was hit by a cannonball and killed.

Early life and family

His family, one of the numerous branches of the House of Gontaut, took its title from the territory of Biron, then in Périgord, where on a hill between the Dropt and the Lède the Château de Biron still stands, begun by the lords of Biron in the 11th century.

Biron, born in 1524, served as a page of Queen Marguerite de Navarre. He was a man of considerable literary attainments, and used to carry a pocketbook, in which he noted everything that appeared remarkable. Some of his letters are preserved in the Bibliothèque nationale and in the British Museum; these include a treatise on the art of war. His son, Charles de Gontaut, duc de Biron (1562–1602), also became Marshal of France in 1594. A grandson of his second son, Henry, was Charles-Armand de Gontaut, another Marshal of France.

Reign of Henri II

Biron attracted the notice of the Marshal Brissac, with whom he saw active service in Italy. A wound he received in his early years made him lame for life, and gave him the nickname Armand Le Boiteux (the limper).Guise's regiment of light horse in 1557. A short while later he became chief of a cavalry regiment.

In 1560 Biron reported to the crown concerning the situation he faced in Guyenne with disaffected nobles turning to Protestantism.

Reign of Charles IX

First civil war

During the fighting of the first civil war, he fought for the crown at the Battle of Dreux in December 1562.

Long peace

The Edict of Amboise brought an end to the first war of religion in March 1563. To ensure that its terms would be followed across France, commissioners were sent out to oversee its implementation and resolve disputes. Biron was sent to Provence, where there were reports of problems in implementing the peace. Upon arriving he reduced the hold out town of Sisteron which had not relinquished its Protestant garrison. He further reinstalled the governor Tende who had been chased out of Provence by his own son during the civil war.Sommerive and Carcès as particularly troublesome and recommended they be called to court to answer for their actions.

Saint-Jean-d'Angély

Portrait Armand de Gontaut-Biron

With victory at the Battle of Moncontour several marshals advocated using the opportunity to secure a favourable settlement, among them Biron. The crown refused and pressed on to break the Huguenot strongholds in the south. The first stronghold in their way was that of Saint-Jean-d'Angély. Biron was raised to the post of grand master of artillery and starting on 26 October tasked with reducing the town. Progress was slow, several assaults were bloodily repulsed, disease and hunger ran rampant in the royal camp. By the time the city had surrendered on 2 December the royal army was a broken shell.

Diplomat


Armand de Gontaut

Diplomat

Alongside his military role in the war he also conducted diplomatic missions. When in February 1570 the Protestants sent demands to the court, Biron was sent along with de Mesmes to communicate the king's rejection of their terms.Coligny in March.formal peace declared in August 1570, Biron's role as a negotiator would continue, now for the Navarre marriage instead of peace. He received Albret for an interview to negotiate the match in March 1571.Catherine de'Medici, after some delays around Nérac they continued on to the capital in January.Navarre's journey to Paris, and was with him when news of his mother's death arrived.

La Rochelle

Shortly after the Massacre of Saint Bartholomew the town of La Rochelle filled with refugees from across France. The crown was conscious the town could be the nucleus of resistance and Biron was named governor of the city, with the aim of the town submitting peacefully to him. When he attempted to enter the city, his entry was rebuffed. Negotiations continued until November, Biron and the crown remembering the difficulties the far less well defended city of Saint-Jean-d'Angély had presented, and desiring to avoid a siege. However no agreement would be reached and a siege would be agreed upon when news of La Rochelle's negotiations with the English were reported.

To this end men and munitions flooded south to Biron throughout December and into January 1573. Biron's preparations continued slowly, as he had to prepare for both land and sea attacks. By the time Anjou arrived in February, he had completed the investment of the town from land, but the harbour remained only partially closed, and no approach trenches had been dug. Anjou now took over as overall commander, successfully completing the closure at sea. By April the approach trenches had reached the walls. Assaults began in the following months, as the artillery reduced the area into a smouldering ruin. Desertions ran rampant and by the time the outer wall was breached in June Anjou was increasingly tired of the siege. He excoriated Biron for what he felt were his failings in conducting the siege.

Reign of Henri III

Fifth civil war


Armand de Gontaut

Reign of Henri III

Fifth civil war

With Henri's return to France from Spain, he was keen to counteract the military influence that Retz had accrued as a favourite of Catherine in the proceeding years. To this end Biron was appointed as a marshal. In response, Retz resigned his role of Constable that he had held in Henri's Polish administration.

With civil war resumed in between the crown and the politiques there was fear at court that Condé, who was in Germany, would enter the kingdom with his forces. To prevent this, and allow the crown to focus on subduing Damville in Languedoc, Biron and the young Guise were sent out to monitor the frontier. They arrived at Langres with 8000 men. The king continued to send forces to Langres to bolster the army, for the eventual crossing of Condé, which occurred in October, Guise leading the army that defeated them at Dormans.

Informal war

In January 1577 as France again found itself on the brink of civil war with the Huguenots at arms, Henri, little interested in a war that would leave him at the mercy of the Ligue sent out envoys to the key Protestant aristocrats, hoping to bring them into line such that formal conflict could be averted. Biron was sent with a message to Navarre, a mixture of reassurances about the crowns friendliness to him, and concerns about his actions. Navarre sent a contrite reply, but held several objections to the king's position, and another debate on the conseil privé erupted over whether to go to war. With the peace faction winning, Biron was again sent to Navarre on 3 March to continue negotiations. While these were ongoing the military situation of his supporters deteriorated into war.Treaty of Bergerac in September 1577.

Navarre complained bitterly about Biron's role as lieutenant-general of Guyenne, bemoaning that he was governor in name only given how much authority his subordinate had.Saintonge and Aunis in favour of the sieur de Belleville.Treaty of Nérac, however he would not implement them all. As a result the Protestants of the region began re-arming, and Navarre took the excuse to seize the town of Cahors in May 1580.Toulouse, and while recovering appointed his son Charles to lead his forces.


Armand de Gontaut

Netherlands

The king's younger brother Alençon seeking advancement accepted the offer from William the Silent to become sovereign of the United Provinces of the Netherlands in 1579, entering the country in 1582. In 1581 with Spanish fears about what Alençon might be planning, Biron was sent to Picardy to guard the border in case Spain took the offensive.Montpensier were tasked with reinforcing him. Biron arrived with 3500 foot and several companies of cavalry on 1 December 1582.Antwerp to add it to his dominion. The attempt was a disaster, and his force was trapped in the city and destroyed during the French Fury, Biron and Montpensier were uninvolved in his attempt on the city.Eindhoven which was under attack by the Spanish. In April however Eindhoven capitulated and Biron moved his forces to Roosendaal. Increasingly out of cash Biron begged for funds almost daily but without result, his army disintegrated from desertions before his eyes. Biron angrily blamed the estates for the failure of his expedition. Money was at last advanced from France to pay for the remnants of Biron's army to withdraw from the Netherlands.

With the death of Alençon the following year, Biron accompanied his body back to Paris for the lavish funeral overseen by Henri.

Ligue

Compelled by the Ligue to make war on the politiques in 1585, Henri tasked Matignon and Biron with prosecuting the war against Navarre in Guyenne. The two Marshals prosecuted the campaign half heartedly, and only the forces directly loyal to the Ligue under Mercœur conducted the war with any vigour.

In 1587, with a German army invading in support of the Protestants under Casimir a council was held by Henri to decide how to proceed. Henri announced to the assembled nobles his desire to lead the French army out to destroy the invader, explaining it would allow him to regain authority from the Ligue. Biron and all the other councillors except Nevers expressed their horror at this idea.

Day of the Barricades


Armand de Gontaut

Day of the Barricades

By 1588 the situation in Paris was tense, the Ligue, increasingly dominant, orchestrated a coup in the city, with Guise at its head. Those out on the barricades threatened bloody violence on the loyalists, unless the royal and Swiss troops were removed from the city. Henri ordered the troops withdrawn to the Louvre, and tasked François d'O, Jean VI d'Aumont and Biron with leading them off the streets. Small fights would break out however, and the lives of the Swiss were at risk from the crowd. The king sent Biron to meet with the duke of Guise, and Guise agreed to provide them passage to safety from the violent crowd.

Reign of Henri IV

With the assassination of Henri III outside Paris, Biron was among the marshals that recognised the legitimacy of Navarre as king immediately, and went over to support him in his fights with the Ligue .Battle of Ivry in Normandy, where the leading Liguer Mayenne was defeated.cannonball at the siege of Épernay on 26 July 1592.

Jacques and Marcelle Morgantini

Jacques Morgantini (21 February 1924 – 2 December 2019) and Marcelle Morgantini (née Chailleux, 7 April 1925 – 23 September 2007) were French record producers and promoters of American blues music.

Biography

Jacques Morgantini was born in Montbéliard, eastern France in 1924. He became a jazz fan after hearing his father's records, and while studying chemistry in Toulouse organised a conference on jazz music addressed by Hugues Panassié, the influential critic who was the president of the Hot Club de France. Panassié invited Morgantini to become vice-president of the Hot Club, and in 1945 Morgantini set up the Hot Club de Pau. He started developing a network of contacts in the U.S., which provided a basis for him to invite American jazz and blues performers to perform in France. In 1951, with the support of the Hot Club of France, he invited Big Bill Broonzy to perform in the country.

He worked as a salesman for an electrical company, and met Marcelle Chailleux at a conference he organised in Pau to discuss blues music. Marcelle, born in Sarthe, had been a fan of classical music but was drawn by the emotional power of the blues. They married in 1963.

Through Jean-Marie Monastier, the owner of a record store in Bordeaux and later the founder of the Black & Blue record label, they invited further groups of blues musicians to play in France, including the Chicago Blues Festival tours managed by Monastier which featured such musicians as Muddy Waters, John Lee Hooker, T-Bone Walker, Memphis Slim and Koko Taylor . Some of the musicians, including John Lee Hooker and Memphis Slim, were recorded by the Morgantinis, either in their studio at their home in Gan, or in live performance, and their albums were released by Black & Blue.


Jacques and Marcelle Morgantini

The Morgantinis became friends with many of the performers, notably Jimmy Dawkins and Fred Below, who told them that several leading blues performers in Chicago had never been recorded. With their son Luc, Jacques and Marcelle Morgantini travelled to Chicago in the early 1970s, where they were guided around clubs by Dawkins, Below and Andrew "Big Voice" Odom. In 1975, Marcelle and Luc, together with Monastier, returned to Chicago determined to record struggling performers. She set up her own label, MCM Records, the name deriving from her initials, and on two trips in 1975 recorded club performances by Willie Kent, Willie James Lyons, The Aces, Jimmy Johnson, Luther Johnson, and Bobby King. The following year, she recorded Dawkins, Odom, Eddy Clearwater, Magic Slim, John Littlejohn, Hip Linkchain, and Andrew "Blueblood" McMahon. Her final visit to Chicago clubs in 1977 resulted in recordings by Jimmy Johnson and Robert "Big Mojo" Elem, but in 1978 financial difficulties led to the closure of the MCM label.

Marcelle Morgantini's set of recordings was described by blues expert Stuart Constable as "a remarkable body of work, not only for the moment in blues history that it captures, but also because of the quality of the sound and the unique character of the performances. The blues was in transit at the time these recordings were made. In the work of Jimmy Dawkins, Magic Slim and Willie James Lyons, you can hear the seeds of blues-rock being sown. At the same time, there is much to bring joy to the hearts of Chicago traditionalists...".Storyville Records.

Jacques Morgantini supervised many of the releases on the Black & Blue label. He wrote articles on the music, and liner notes, and helped launch the RCA France "Black and White" blues series, many drawing on his own record collection. He produced the Jazz Forever and Blues Forever series of CDs in the 1980s, before creating a series of compilation CDs for the EPM label and for Frémeaux & Associés as well as the Riverboat series of albums of jump blues musicians.

Marcelle Morgantini died in Gan in 2007, aged 82.Blues Foundation in Memphis, Tennessee. He died in 2019, aged 95.

KCDX

KCDX (103.1 FM) is a radio station broadcasting from Globe, Arizona to the east of Phoenix since March 2002 with a commercial-free rock music format. The station is licensed to Florence, Arizona. The KCDX listening area is primarily the eastern half of the Phoenix metropolitan region. The KCDX signal can also be picked up in the northern suburbs of Tucson.

Format

The station format is late–1960s to late–1980s album rock. It is fully automated, has no DJs and does not play any commercial announcements other than its own station identification and local political ads as required by Federal Election Commission rules.

History

KCDX was powered-on by Ted Tucker, a former hospital pharmacist and broadcast-radio engineer, who owns several radio stations in Arizona. He used the signal as a 2.7-kW personal MP3 player, broadcasting to central and eastern Arizona.

The station now has a website with a live Internet feed and a rolling playlist. The station's website has advertising.

On 08/10/2000, Tucker filed a Minor Change to a Licensed Facility Application with the FCC to move the main transmitter to a mountain NW of Oracle, AZ. while increasing power to 95 kW. Three engineering amendments were filed in 2003 and 2004. If approved, the signal upgrade would include new areas of Mesa, Apache Junction and N Tucson in the coverage area.

Tucker has remained quiet about the ultimate fate of the station, and seems to have a history of "flipping" properties,kilowatt transmitter of 95.1 KFMR northwest of Phoenix in order to maintain its broadcast license while a sale of that station was pending. The KFMR simulcast lasted from October 2004 until March 2005, when KFMR's license was passed from Tucker to its new owners.

Rough sample of common opal

Rough sample of precious opal, showing iridescence

Opalescence or play of color is the optical phenomenon displayed by the mineraloid gemstone opal,hydrated silicon dioxide. – precious, common, and fire – display different optical effects; therefore, the intended meaning varies depending on context.

  * The general definition of opalescence is a milky iridescence displayed by an opal, which describes the visual effect of precious opal very well, and opalescence is commonly used in lay terms as a synonym for iridescence.
  * In contrast, common opal does not display an iridescence, but often exhibits a hazy sheen of light from within the stone – the phenomenon that gemologists strictly term as opalescence.adularescence.
  * Fire opal is a relatively transparent gemstone with a vivid yellow-orange-red color and rarely displays iridescence.

The optical effects seen in various types of opal are a result of refraction (precious and fire) or reflection (common) due to the layering, spacing, and size of the myriad microscopic silicon dioxide spheres and included water (or air) in its physical structure.silica spheres are relatively small, refracted blue-green colors are prevalent; when relatively larger, refracted yellow-orange-red colors are seen; and when larger yet, reflection yields a milky-hazy sheen.

Tyndall effect in opalescent glass: it appears blue from the side, but orange light shines through.

In a physical sense, some cases of opalescence could be related to a type of dichroism seen in highly dispersed systems with little opacity. Due to Rayleigh scattering, a transparent material appears yellowish-red in transmitted white light and blue in the scattered light perpendicular to the transmitted light.Tyndall effect.

Jobst Herman, Count of Schaumburg

Jobst Hermann von Holstein-Schaumburg (6 October 1593 at Gemen Castle in Borken – 5 November 1635 in Bückeburg) was a member of the House of Schaumburg.

Life

His parents were Henry V, Count of Schaumburg and Holstein-Pinneberg (d. 1606), from a collateral line of the Gemen family tree, and Countess Matilda of Limburg-Styrum (1561–1622), a daughter of Count Hermann Georg of Limburg. In 1622, he became Count of Schaumburg and Lord of Gemen. Although he was raised as a Catholic, he made no attempt to change the religious denomination of his territories.

During the Thirty Years' War, he had little opportunity to influence events; however he succeeded in protecting his Lordship of Gemen from the worst oppression by imperial and Hessian troops.

Inheritance

He married Catherine Sophia (1577–1665), daughter of Otto II, Duke of Brunswick-Harburg, but the marriage was childless, and when he died in 1635, a succession dispute broke out between the families of Holstein-Schaumburg and Limburg-Styrum in relation to the immediate Lordship of Gemen. His aunt, Countess Agnes of Limburg-Styrum, who was abbess of Elten, Vreden, Borghorst Abbey and Freckenhorst won the dispute and shortly afterwards transferred Gemen to her nephew Hermann Otto I of Limburg-Styrum, a wealthy man who had a successful career as a lieutenant general in the Dutch cavalry. When he died in 1644, he left Gemen to his second son, Adolf Ernst, who married Isabella, the daughter of Count Alexander of Velen-Meggen-Raesfeld. Adolf Ernst unsuccessfully attempted to reintroduce Catholicism in Gemen.

Marcelline Vigano

Marcelline Vigano or Mother Marcelline (6 January 1869 – 7 June 1942) was an Italian nun who became a Superior General who expanded Apostles of the Sacred Heart of Jesus after the founder was removed by the Roman Catholic church.

Life

Vigano was born in Brugherio in 1869 and she committed to the life of a nun in 1895 in Viareggio. She joined the newly formed order of the Congregation of the Apostles of the Sacred Heart of Jesus which had been started by Mother Clelia Merloni in 1894. Vigano was soon the founder's vicaress.

In 1908 she helped to extend the reach of the "Congregation of the Apostles of the Sacred Heart of Jesus" when she was sent to America to assist new organisations which the church calls apostolates. Whilst she was there she created a building or novitiate where novice nuns could be trained.Giovanni Battista Scalabrini who had founded a mission to send missionaries to America.Alessandria in Piedmont. In 1911 the church removed the founder from office.

She became the Superior General of the Congregation after she was recalled to Italy. Four years later the organisation was renamed the Zelatrices of the Sacred Heart of Jesus which was a sign of growing acceptance by the church.

Vigaro travelled a good deal around Italy visiting the organisation's houses, but she also travelled to the Americas four times between 1908 and 1931. Vigaro also visited islands in the Aegean sea. Within Italy she created new headquarters in Rome in 1916 and a northern outpost near her birthplace at the region of Milan called Comasina.

Hyndburn Brook

Hyndburn Brook is a minor river in eastern Lancashire. It is approximately 4.5 miles (7.3 km) long, and has the catchment area (not including the River Hyndburn) of 13.61 square miles (35.243 km2).

Thought to begin at the confluence of Tinker Brook and White Ash Brook, to the west of Church, the river runs north. It collects the River Hyndburn just before the bridge of the M65 Motorway and Bottom Syke (from Dunkenhalgh) just afterward, meeting Shaw Brook and Spaw Brook to the east of Rishton.

Turning to the northeast between Great Harwood and the Oakenshaw side of Clayton-le-Moors, it is joined by Norden Brook and then Harwood Brook. After passing under the A680 Hyndburn Bridge, the brook eventually joins the River Calder, next to the district's waste water treatment works, at Martholme. Both Tinker and White Ash Brooks drain the north side of Oswaldwistle Moor.

Tinker Brook originates as Jackhouse Brook at the confluence of Cocker Brook and Cocker Lumb near Jackhouse, the former having passed through the old reservoirs of Warmwithens and Jackhouse. It becomes Tinker Brook as it enters the south of town of Oswaldtwistle before it collects Whams Brook.

While White Ash Brook begins as Lottice Brook, northeast of Belthorn, and flows in a northerly direction until it turns back east, at the bridge of Haslingden Old Road near the motorway. It becomes White Ash Brook as flows under the Smithes Bridge in Western Oswaldwistle.

The name possibly originates from the Old English words hind (female deer) and burna (stream). Brook (OE broc) is a common name for a stream, which is most often found in Southern and Central England.

An ongoing river improvement scheme aimed to allow migrating salmon, trout, and eels access to the River Hyndburn saw the construction of a fish bypass during 2017, at the 4-metre (13 ft 1 in) high nineteenth century Oakenshaw Print Works Weir.

United Utilities had put the two hundred metre stretch of Hyndburn Brook up for sale in February 2009, and it was being auctioned with no reserve price.Environment Agency officials praised Blythe’s Chemical Works for reducing pollution in the stretch of the brook in January 2000.
