AllMusic

Nina Hagen in Ekstasy is the third solo (and fifth overall) studio album by German singer Nina Hagen. It was released on January 10, 1985, by CBS Records. The German version of the album Nina Hagen in Ekstase was released simultaneously. It was Hagen's last album released on the CBS label, before her recording contract expired in 1986. The album is mainly produced by Adam Kidron and was recorded in Ibiza and Paris. Hagen worked with Karl Rucker and Billy Liesegang and wrote most of the songs on the album. Unlike her previous disco-influenced album Fearless (1983), Nina Hagen in Ekstasy is musically more punk rock with elements of dance music. It contains cover versions of Frank Sinatra's "My Way" and Norman Greenbaum's "Spirit in the Sky".

After its release, Nina Hagen in Ekstasy received mixed reviews from the critics and although it was released during the rise of Hagen's popularity in the United States, the album was not a big commercial success. She appeared as a guest on many television shows, including Late Night with David Letterman and The Merv Griffin Show, where she promoted the record. In January 1985, she performed at one of the largest music festivals in the world, Rock in Rio, where she performed most of the songs from the album.

The lead single "Universal Radio" became a club hit, peaking at number 39 on the Billboard Hot Dance Club Songs.

Background and recording

After the success of her 1983 album Fearless, Hagen went on to record a new album, more punk rock than her previous one. She changed her image, sporting a shocking pink, waist-length mane and black eye makeup, and teamed up with Karl Rucker, with whom she had already worked on her two previous albums, and started working with Billy Liesegang and Peter Krause. The recording process was affected by Adam Kidron's motorbike accident which caused him getting numbness in his arm.

Composition


Nina Hagen in Ekstasy

Composition

Hagen has been vocally compared to Wendy O. Williams.Universal Radio" was co-written by Hagen and Ron Dumas, who had previously recorded the song in 1983 with his band Ron Dumas Group. She later described the song as not being musically very interesting and that she originally wanted to do her vocals differently, but was directed by the recording company to make the record more "commercial". "Gods of Aquarius" begins with a downtempo intro before becoming a heavy rock song, resembling some of Billy Idol's early records. Lyrically, the song is one of many, where Hagen talks about UFOs, referring to her 1981 experience with spotting something that looked like a cosmic ship in Malibu. It was during the time she was pregnant with her daughter Cosma Shiva.nuclear war. Her take on Paul Anka's song "My Way" was already recorded and released on her 1980 extended play, but became one of her signature songs, which she performed at many of her shows. In the next song, Hagen talks about living on a fictional street "1985 Ekstasy Drive". The track has heavy guitar riffs and simple lyrics.

In "Prima Nina in Ekstasy", Hagen sings about herself being entitled the "Mother of Punk". When she arrived in London in 1977, she was already 21, while the other people on the punk scene were all about 15 or 16 years old. That was when she first received the title. The song features heavy synths and male background vocals. The cover version of Norman Greenbaum's "Spirit in the Sky" appears on the album in two versions. The first is in English and the second, "Gott In Himmel", is a reprise sung in German. It again refers to her UFO sighting in Malibu.cocaine, harakiri and Babylon. The last song is a punk version of "The Lord's Prayer", which features an interpolation of Aram Khachaturian's "Sabre Dance".

Jakob Guttmann (sculptor)

Jakob Guttmann (1811 – April 28, 1860) was a Hungarian Jewish sculptor.

Guttmann was born in Arad, then in Hungary. In his early childhood he carved toys, and in 1833 he went to Vienna to satisfy his artistic cravings. There he became an engraver and worked for three years with his burin. He then received a scholarship from Prince Metternich enabling him to study at the Vienna Academy of Fine Arts. He remained there until 1843, receiving awards for an embossed profile in wax of the emperor Joseph II and for a steel-engraving of Metastasio.

In 1844 Guttmann produced a bronze statuette of Baron Salomon von Rothschild from a portrait, and was commissioned by him to execute a replica in marble. The Baron also paid Guttmann an annuity, thus enabling him to go to Rome. There he modeled a bust of Pope Pius IX and completed his masterpiece, Der Blumenspender.

While in Rome, Guttmann was deeply interested in the ghetto, which he described in letters to his father. Later he went to Paris, and in 1857 he became insane. He died in Vienna.

Lifesaving Awards

The Royal Life Saving Society UK awards several lifesaving awards indicating competence and ability.

Bronze Medallion

Main article: Bronze Medallion (United Kingdom)

The Bronze Medallion was the flagship award of the Royal Life Saving Society UK until 2012. It was open to those age 14 years of age and over, and consists of test of resuscitation, theory questions on water safety, self rescue, and rescue principles, and a practical swimming pool based assessment.

Award of Merit

The Award of Merit is available to any lifesaver who has obtained their Bronze Medallion and Life Support 2. In addition, candidates must be over 15 in order to take part. The exam demands a high level of technical and physical capability from the participant and consists of six main parts:

 1. The Water Based Rescue - where the individual must implement swimming and towing techniques to rescue one casualty 15-20m from safety.
 2. Non-Contact Rescue - the well-known "timed swim" where the individual must swim 75m to the casualty and use their clothing to tow the casualty 75m to safety, all within five minutes.
 3. Contact Rescue - where the individual must swim 25m to a conscious casualty and implement a contact tow to bring them 75m to safety.
 4. Resuscitation Rescue - where an unconscious casualty must be towed 30m to safety and resuscitated.
 5. Initiative Test - where there are two casualties up to 25m from safety in various situations that must be dealt with within at least two minutes, with the candidate being asked to subsequently answer questions regarding their actions.

The tested individual must also be able to answer questions on Water Safety and Rescue Techniques including Priorities of Rescue and Survival in Water. The award is then valid for two years, after which it must be renewed along with any previous awards that may have expired.

Lafayette Land Grant

The Lafayette Land Grant was a gift by the government of the United States of just over 23,000 acres (93 km2) of real estate in central Leon County, Florida, United States.

Origins

Marquis de Lafayette

During the American Revolution, Gilbert du Motier, Marquis de Lafayette loaned money to the government of the United States. To help Lafayette after the French Revolution, the United States gave the marquis $24,000 followed by land in what is now Louisiana in 1803. In 1824, another $200,000 and his choice of a township worth of land was given around the time of his visit to the United States in 1824-25.

Settlement

Lafayette chose land near his friend Richard Keith Call. Col. John McKee of Alabama was given the task of traveling to Florida and selecting Lafayette's piece of land. The warrant officially giving Lafayette the land was signed by President John Quincy Adams on July 4, 1825.Lake Lafayette within that tract.Tallahassee, Florida, which also serves as a survey marker for the Tallahassee Meridian. Two additional markers also lay along the boundary -- one on Gadsden Street in the city's LaFayette Park and a second one between Apalachee Parkway and LaFayette St, at the intersection of E. Indianhead Drive.

Lafayette never visited his land in Florida. However, by the 1830s, several Frenchmen who knew Lafayette, including Prince Achille Murat, nephew of Napoleon Bonaparte, had moved to the area.north Florida's subtropical climate far too warm, and to add to their misery, their land deeds were deemed void.New Orleans.

By 1855, all the land included in the Lafayette Township (over 23,000 acres) had been sold to individual buyers. Today it is home to a number of neighborhoods, including Lafayette Oaks, Waverly, the south half of Killearn Estates, Eastgate, Welanuee/Canopy, Woodgate, Betton Hills, and Los Robles. A portion of Lake Lafayette also resides within the original land grant boundaries.

Double 8 Foods

Former Double 8 Foods store on Illinois Street in Indianapolis, Indiana.

Double 8 Foods was a local grocery chain based in Indianapolis. It opened under the name "Seven-Eleven Supermarket" in 1957 and renamed to Double 8 in 2000.soul food like chitterlings, catfish, and pork ribs.

History

Double 8 Foods, formerly known as Seven-Eleven Supermarket, was founded by Zoltan Weisz in 1957.Indiana to employ an African American store manager.dollar stores and "dollar aisles" were integrated within the company's locations starting with the chain's store on Fairfield Avenue.

Closing

Double 8 Foods shut down all of its stores on July 23, 2015 citing decreasing sales as the primary factor for their closing.Walmart and Meijer as well as dollar stores opening up near store locations. To save the stores, the firm attempted to woo another operator but was unsuccessful.

Food deserts

The sudden closure of Double 8 Foods left many residents without a convenient source for groceries. As a result, local churches and the fire department began offering transportation to other grocery stores.

Aftermath

The buildings that Double 8 Foods used have since been repurposed for new businesses. The store on N. Illinois St. has transformed into a brewery named Happy Brewing Co. A warehouse on E. 46th St. now houses a brewery called Black Circle Brewing as well as a co-working space for home-service providers like electricians and plumbers. A restaurant named Next Door American Eatery opened up on the former Double 8 location on the corner of N. College Ave. and E. 46th St. owned by Kimbal Musk.


Flag of El Paso, Texas

The flag of El Paso is the official municipal flag of El Paso, Texas. The current design, an augmentation of El Paso's seal in the center of a dark blue field, has been in place since 1962.

Design and symbolism

In the center of the emblem is a silver five-pointed star, representing faith. The left half of each point is shaded a darker color, giving the star a three-dimensional appearance. The star's design, not the color, is the exact used on the seal and coat of arms of Texas. Completely surrounding the star is a bright yellow sun with 35 equal rays. This represents El Paso's nickname of "The Sun City", as the sun shines about 302 days a year on average.maroon (officially "red-purple") field, representing fellowship, warmth, and shelter. A narrow white border encircles the field. This is also the inner border of a maroon ring. Green olive leaves occupy the left and right sides of this ring, with the green meaning hope, good fortune, fertile land, and vitality. A wide heraldic ribbon is above the ring, with a white front and maroon back. On the ribbon is the text "CITY OF EL PASO" in maroon capital Arial-type font. A shorter ribbon of the same style is on the bottom of the flag, this time with the word "TEXAS". Connecting these ribbons is a thin white border, forming the outer edge of the olive leaf ring. The white within the emblem represents purity. The emblem is centered on a blue field, which represents sincerity. In terms of measurements, the total flag's proportions are 3 by 5. The drawing accompanying the official ordinance recognizing the adoption of the flag described the emblem as positioned 17 inches from the hoist and fly sides and 6 inches from the top and bottom. The emblem measures 26 inches horizontally and 24 inches vertically.

History

The emblem on the flag was created around 1880, and was enclosed in a cornerstone at the old El Paso City Hall in 1899. The old city hall was demolished in 1958 to clear space for a new building, and the emblem was recovered.

Flag of El Paso, Texas

Crest used on the flag, now the current seal of El Paso

The city first adopted a flag on June 17, 1948. The specification of its design was as follows:

Now therefore, be it resolved that the official flag of the city of El Paso shall be a light blue field with the seal of the City in gold in or near the center thereof.

The flag was manufactured in a 5:8 ratio. The manufacturer, however, did not use the official city seal on the flag. They instead used a modified version of Texas' state seal, replacing "THE STATE OF TEXAS" with "THE CITY OF EL PASO". This emblem was used often on city documents, officially known as the city crest prior to the adoption of the flag. It wasn't until 1960 when the Girl Scouts noticed this discrepancy, as they were looking to embroider a new flag. It appears that the crest used on the flag is now the current seal of El Paso. With the adoption of a new flag 2 years later the issue was noticed, the first flag of El Paso was technically never used.

Second flag

Following the Girl Scouts' discovery, the city administration decided to redesign the flag, which would be more authentic historically. The city planning department designed the flag and it was officially adopted on March 29, 1962.North American Vexillological Association survey of 150 American city flags ranked El Paso's flag 91st. Out of Texas city flags in the same survey, the flag ranked 11th out of 12. Only the flag of Lubbock ranked lower, a design which has since been changed.El Paso Times opinion piece called on the city to redesign the flag, even providing an alternative, with the yellow sun centered on a blue field, with a blue five-pointed star in the middle.

Ernest, Landgrave of Hesse-Rheinfels

Landgrave Ernest of Hesse-Rheinfels-Rotenburg (8 December 1623 – 2 May 1693) was from 1649 to 1658 Landgrave of Hesse-Rheinfels and from 1658 until his death Landgrave of Hesse-Rheinfels-Rotenburg. Because his brothers died young, all later Landgraves in the Rotenburg Quarter are descendants of Ernest. Hence, Ernest is known as the ancestor of the Catholic Rotenburg Quarter, a group of junior lines of the House of Hesse.

Family

Ernst was the eleventh child of the second marriage of the Landgrave Maurice of Hesse-Kassel (1572–1632) with Juliane of Nassau-Siegen (1587–1643). He was a great-grandson of Philip I "the Magnanimous". Landgrave Ernst married in 1647 in Frankfurt with Countess Maria Eleonore of Solms-Lich (1632–1689). Two sons from this marriage outlived Ernest: William (1648–1725) and Charles (1649–1711), and one daughter Catherina (1655–1719),Pye Family, through Richard, the son of Sir Robert Pye.

Life

Ernest was brought up as a Calvinist during the Thirty Years' War. He made his Grand Tour to France and Italy, and fought with Hesse-Kassel during the final years of the war, for example at the Battle of Nördlingen on 3 August 1645. In 1647, the army of Landgravine Amalie Elisabeth reconquered Lower Katzenelnbogen and returned it to Hesse-Kassel. In 1649, Ernest came of age and received Lower Katzenelnbogen. This made him the founder of the Hesse-Rheinfels line. Hesse-Rheinfels was not considered sovereign: it remained under the sovereignty of Hesse-Kassel, as did the other parts of the Rotenburg Quarter. Details of the relationship between Hesse-Rheinfels and Hesse-Kassel were laid down in a series of house treaties; nevertheless, political and judicial disputes often arose between the two houses.


Ernest, Landgrave of Hesse-Rheinfels

Ernest chose Burg Rheinfels castle, above St. Goar on the left bank of the Rhine, as his residence and extended the castle to an imposing fortress. The new Landgrave made his official entry into St. Goar on 30 March 1649. The construction activities associated with the extension of his castle and the fact that many landgraviate authorities resided at Rheinfels, contributed significantly to the economic boom of St. Goar, which had suffered severely from the Thirty Years' War.

Ernest and his family converted to Catholicism on 6 January 1652 in Cologne. However, he could not make Catholicism the established religion in his territory, because it fell under the jurisdiction of Hesse-Kassel and his half-nephew Landgrave William VI would not allow Ernest to undermine his authority and deviate from Calvinism, the established religion in Hesse-Kassel. In 1654, a compromise was reached: the Treaty of Ravensburg allowed Ernest to create three Catholic parishes in his landgraviate, in St. Goar, Nastätten and Langen-Schwalbach.

After the death of his brothers Frederick in 1655 and Herman IV in 1658, he inherited their sections of the Rotenburg Quarter. He then called himself Ernest of Hesse-Rotenburg-Rheinfels.

Ernest was very interested in religious matters; he was also religiously tolerant. In 1666, he had the Rheinfelsen Book of Hymns printed, which contained Catholic, Lutheran, and Reformed hymns. Ernest corresponded with the leading scholars of his time, such as Gottfried Wilhelm Leibniz.

Ernest died in 1693 and was buried, at his request, in the Pilgrimage Church in Bornhofen Monastery in Kamp-Bornhofen.

Lavaggi LS1

The Lavaggi LS1 is a Le Mans Prototype (LMP1) built by Scuderia Lavaggi of the former F1 driver Giovanni Lavaggi. Completed in 2006, the LS1, initially using a 6-litre Ford V8 engine, made its racing debut at the last race of the year at Jarama, driven by the driver-constructor himself and by Xavier Pompidou as co-driver. With no previous tests whatsoever, in the second free practices, the car was just 2.8 seconds slower than the fastest one, even if slowed down by electronic problems, which pestered the team during the whole race weekend and caused also two engines failure. The following years, Scuderia Lavaggi was strongly affected by the financial crisis started in USA, which expanded soon in the rest of the world. The sponsors who were supporting the Lavaggi LS1 project disappeared and Giovanni had to face the racing seasons and the car’s updates imposed by the rules changes, with his own resources. For 2010, ACO imposed new rules that would have meant heavy modifications to the Lavaggi LS1, including the adoption of a different type of engine. Then, persisting the bad financial global situation, Giovanni Lavaggi decided to retire the car at the end of the 2009 season.

Development


Lavaggi LS1

Development

In 2004, the FIA and the ACO launched a unique new regulation for sports cars, split in two classes called LMP1 And LMP2. Giovanni Lavaggi, who is a mechanical engineer from the "Politecnico of Milan", motivated by the desire to emulate those men who have written motorsport history (such as Jack Brabham, Bruce McLaren, Enzo Ferrari, and others), decided to start his own project and, actually, has managed to bring a myth back to life: the myth of the "driver-constructor". Giovanni Lavaggi: "The idea to participate in races with a car designed and built by myself was always one of my wishes. Since I was a little boy, the high admiration I always felt for the real big names in the motorsport world, was making me dream that I could be able to emulate them one day. And who knows? May be the fact of being born on 18th February, exactly the same day as Enzo Ferrari, has influenced my destiny by an unknown astrological effect and keeps my passion burning."

Lavaggi LS1

Racing history

2006–2007

Two races later, at the LMS season finale (the 1000 km of Jarama), the car competed for the first time, with Lavaggi partnering Xavier Pompidou.Paul Ricard, other two engines broke down, this time because of internal lubrication problem. It took the whole season to realize that the problem was due to the wrong design of the dry sump. The Scuderia Lavaggi took part at the Monza event where Marcello Puglisi was selected as second driver. Puglisi was replaced by Cristian Corsini for the 1000 km of Nürburgring and the car's last appearance of the 2007 season came at the 1000 km of Spa, where Wolfgang Kaufmann was selected to partner Lavaggi. Troubled from engine failures Scuderia Lavaggi couldn’t finish any of those races; just in Spa, two engines had to be replaced. In fact, at the end of the season, Lavaggi stated that he hadn't had a single mechanical issue apart from the engine failures, with the rest of the car proving reliable despite having covered around 2,500 km (1,553 mi), and the limited testing the team had done.

Jean Dallaire

Jean-Philippe Dallaire (9 June 1916 – 27 November 1965) was one of the leading artists working figuratively in the 1960s in Canada. He is known for his festive scenes peopled by macabre characters.

Early years

Jean-Philippe Dallaire was born in Hull to a large working-class family.Central Technical School in Toronto between 1932 and 1935.

In 1936 he set up his studio in the Dominican monastery in Ottawa and began his career painting religious subjects.National Gallery of Canada in 1972.Henri Masson.Ateliers d'Art Sacré and the studio of André Lhote. He also worked in his own studio in Montmartre.Pablo Picasso and the surrealists, such as Salvador Dalí.

During World War II (1939–1945), Dallaire and his father were placed in an internment camp after the German forces occupied Paris in 1940. Dallaire's wife was released after six months.Saint-Denis, near Paris, for four years.Aubusson under Jean Lurçat.

Later career

Dallaire returned to Canada after the war and from 1945 to 1952 taught at the Ecole des Beaux-Arts in Quebec City. He worked for the National Film Board of Canada as a cartoonist for educational films in Ottawa from 1952 to 1956 and then in Montreal from 1956 to 1958.Queen Elizabeth Hotel, owned by the Canadian National Railway, which opened in 1958. He contributed a wall hanging. Others were Marius Plamondon (stained glass mural), Claude Vermette (ceramic tiles), Julien Hébert (bronze elevator doors) and Albert Edward Cloutier (carved wooden panels).

In 1959 Dallaire moved to Vence in the south of France where he lived until his death in 1965.

The first retrospective of Dallaire's work was organized by the Musée d’art contemporain de Montréal and the Musée du Québec in 1968.

Work

Dallaire was technically a virtuoso in both painting and drawing. He painted on cardboard, canvas board, linen or cotton canvas, chipboard and plywood.


Jean Dallaire

A critic has said, "Dallaire had a magical way of applying paint. His oils look like gouaches, the texture of the board, or canvas, visible under the fine layers of paint. As simple as the image may appear, it is in fact a symphony of colour and gesture, a painterlesblese tableau in the guise of a fairytale." In 1957 Dallaire said,

"One could say that I do not take life seriously. I always had a fondness for birds, little flags and the texture of fabrics. Perhaps it is a bit decorative, but so what."

Dallaire's eclecticism and attachment to figurative art have tended to make critics marginalize his work.retrospective exhibition of his work was held in 1968 at the Musée d'art contemporain de Montréal and the Musée national des beaux-arts du Québec.

Dick Redding

Richard Redding (April 15, 1890 – October 31, 1948), nicknamed "Cannonball", was an American pitcher, outfielder, and manager in baseball's Negro leagues, regarded as perhaps the fastest pitcher in the history of black baseball (which makes the origin of his nickname no mystery). In his career, he played for the Philadelphia Giants, New York Lincoln Giants,Lincoln Stars, Indianapolis ABC's, Chicago American Giants, Brooklyn Royal Giants, and Bacharach Giants.

Career

Born in Atlanta in the era of racial segregation, Redding was functionally illiterate and was not allowed to play in the Major Leagues because of his race. Against all levels of competition he threw seven no-hitters in one year and approximately thirty in his career. Quiet and clean-cut off the field, he was as intimidating as anyone on it. He had a limited pitching repertoire, but his main pitch, his fastball, was feared by batters all over the league. It was likely faster than Bob Feller's and was far more accurate than Steve Dalkowski's. Redding gained an extra advantage by throwing "brushback" pitches inside.

The 1912 Lincoln Giants

Redding's career began in 1911 with the Philadelphia Giants. That year, at the age of 20, he won 17 consecutive games. Early in his career he was at his best, and in 1914, playing for the New York Lincoln Giants, he was 12–3 against official competition and 31–9 in barnstorming. He served in World War I in 1918, and was a player-manager from 1919 to 1922. His playing career was essentially over by the mid-1920s, but he managed the Brooklyn Royal Giants from 1927 to 1932. His career win–loss record is known to be 81–62.

Ten years after retiring in 1938, Redding suffered a sudden bout of mental illness in 1948 and died in a mental hospital in Islip, New York later that year at age 55.

A few years after his death, Redding received votes listing him on the 1952 Pittsburgh Courier player-voted poll of the Negro Leagues' best players ever.

Hall of Famer Buck Leonard once said about Redding: "was a nice fellow, easy going. He never argued, never cursed, never smoked as I recall; I never saw him take a drink."


Dick Redding

On November 5, 2021, he was selected to the final ballot for the National Baseball Hall of Fame's Early Days Committee for consideration in the Class of 2022. He received three votes or less of the necessary twelve votes.
