Patrick von Kalckreuth

Patrick von Kalckreuth (1892–1970), born Patrick Dunbar, was a leading German maritime painter.

He was born Patrick Dunbar and was the son of a German naval officer. After a brief career as a seaman, he enrolled in the Prussian Academy of Arts in Berlin and studied with the German painter Hugo Schnars-Alquist.

Kalckreuth lived in both Düsseldorf and Berlin, but frequently spent summers by the North Sea in Cuxhaven. His works generally feature scenes from the North Sea, both scenes of waves crashing along beaches and ships at sea. Kalckreuth's early works, primarily of ships at sea, are heavily influenced by Schnars-Alquist. Later in his career, he focused more on the sea itself, frequently painting beautiful seascapes highlighted by crashing waves and sunsets.

After his father's death, in 1931 his mother remarried Richard von Kalckreuth. His stepfather adopted Patrick, despite his being aged almost forty, and as a result he changed his last name. Thus, early works of Kalckreuth are signed as Patrick Dunbar, whereas his paintings after 1931 are signed as Patrick von Kalckreuth.

Considered a master maritime painter, his paintings are displayed in several museums and galleries in Hamburg and in the North of Germany, including the Historiches Museum in Bremerhaven, Germany.

Patrick von Kalckreuth died in 1970.

Goodbye Alexander, Goodbye Honey Boy

"Goodbye Alexander, Goodbye Honey Boy" is a World War I song describing an African American soldier going off to war and his girlfriend's reaction in his military service. The song is credited to Henry Creamer and Turner Layton, the writers of Sweet Emalina, My Gal and After You've Gone.

Themes

The song mostly focuses on the words, actions, and feelings of Dinah Lee, girlfriend of the eponymous soldier Alexander Cooper, as he marches to a troop ship to embark for France to fight in the war. Written by famous African-American songwriters Henry Creamer and Turner Layton, the song bucks the contemporary popular trend of minstrel songs and coon songs. Instead black soldiers are portrayed similarly to white ones, as heroes going off to war and leaving loved ones behind.

Lyrics

The song starts off by setting a patriotic scene as a black regiment marches off to war, referencing emancipation to highlight the significance of the troops being African-American.

Alexander Cooper was a colored trooper with his regiment he marched away Bands were gaily playing, colored folks were swaying on Emancipation Day.

The two verses describe Dinah Lee's reaction to her boyfriend's presence among the troops, with the chorus being sung in her voice.

Goodbye Alexander, goodbye honey boy Dressed up in that uniform, you fills my heart with joy Alexander Cooper was a colored trooper You ain't born for mopin', boy you sure can laugh But you left that window open and they got you in the draft. Alexander, I'll save my lovin' for you I'll be waiting like Poor Butterfly

Recordings

The song was recorded by different artists and a number of variations found their way into these recordings. Marion Harris recorded a version for Victor Records that included a lengthy monologueAda Jones for Edison Records dispensed with this.Wilbur Sweatman's Original Jazz Band and the Farber Sisters also recorded the song for Columbia Records.

Massimo Carrera

Massimo Carrera (Italian pronunciation: [ˈmassimo karˈrɛːra]; born 22 April 1964) is an Italian professional football manager and former player, who was most recently the manager of clubs Spartak Moscow and later AEK Athens, before leaving continental football and joining local club Bari in Serie C. Nicknamed La Bandera, he played as a defender for various European clubs, including Juventus, which he later managed, and the Italy national team.

Club career

Carrera began his career at Pro Sesto, but rose to fame with Bari, enjoying five seasons with the club before moving to Juventus in 1991. Under manager Giovanni Trapattoni, he was deployed at right back, a role he had also held at Bari. He disputed an excellent first season, culminating with being called up for the Italy national team. In his second season, he won the UEFA Cup with the club.

Carrera unwittingly played a huge role in helping Milan go unbeaten in the 1991–92 Serie A season. During injury time of Juventus' home match against Milan on 15 September 1991, an innocent-looking cross from the right touchline hit Carrera's head, and the ball looped past a stranded Stefano Tacconi for the crucial equaliser. Milan would then go on to finish the season unbeaten, and embark on a record-breaking 58-match unbeaten streak.

In 1994, with the arrival of Marcello Lippi, he was deployed as a sweeper, in place of Luca Fusi, and subsequently as a central defender, becoming a pillar of the team, and winning both Serie A and the Coppa Italia in 1995. Carrera also reached the UEFA Cup final at the end of the season.

Due to the arrival of skilled defenders Pietro Vierchowod and Paolo Montero the following season, Carrera started more often from the bench, but still offered valued contribution when called upon.

After 166 caps with Juventus, and having won Serie A, the Coppa Italia, the Supercoppa Italiana, the UEFA Champions League and the UEFA Cup, he transferred to Atalanta in the summer of 1996.

Carrera quickly became captain and leader of the Orobici, playing there for eight seasons and totaling 207 caps and three goals. He left Bergamo in 2003 to join Napoli, and the following season, he settled in Treviso.


Massimo Carrera

He stayed in Veneto for just a season, and on 28 October 2005, at the age of 41, Carrera signed for Pro Vercelli.

At the end of the 2007–08 season, at the age of 44, Carrera decided to retire from playing football to focus on coaching.

International career

Carrera's excellent performances with Juventus in his first year with the club earned him his first international call-up under manager Arrigo Sacchi in 1991; Carrera later made his debut and only appearance with the Italy national team on 19 February 1992, in a 4–0 friendly win against San Marino at the Stadio Dino Manuzzi in Cesena.

Managerial career

Juventus

Carrera was reunited with former Juventus teammates Antonio Conte and Angelo Alessio in the summer of 2011 when he joined the club's coaching staff as a technical director.

Due to a ten-month ban against head coach Conte for alleged implications of his failure to report match fixing and a similar ban against his assistant Alessio, Carrera became Juventus' caretaker manager in July 2012.2012 Supercoppa Italiana defeating Napoli in Beijing, winning 4–2 after extra time.

Spartak Moscow

Before the 2016–17 season, Carrera was hired as an assistant manager for the Russian side FC Spartak Moscow. When previous manager Dmitri Alenichev left the club on 5 August 2016 after Spartak's elimination from the UEFA Europa League by AEK Larnaca, Carrera was appointed the caretaker manager.Krasnodar, where red-white captured their first victory 2–0. No other Spartak head coach managed to start their work as successfully as Carrera did: Spartak collected 28 of 36 points in first twelve matches under him. On 7 May 2017, Spartak secured their first Russian Premier League title since 2001 under Carrera's leadership.

He was relieved of his duties in late 2018 following a number of poor performances, despite remaining seemingly popular among the fans, a move that caused controversy. In particular, many accused captain Denis Glushakov of actively supporting the decision and called for his removal from the team.

Liaoningotitan

Liaoningotitan (meaning "Liaoning giant") is a genus of titanosauriform sauropod from the Early Cretaceous (Barremian) Yixian Formation in Liaoning, China.

Description

Distinguishing features of Liaoningotitan include a ventral margin of the maxilla that is convex, an upper tooth row that is short and anteriorly positioned; an anterior extension of the jugal that nearly reaches the level of the anterior margin of the antorbital fenestra; a basally constricted quadrate wing of the pterygoid; imbricated upper teeth, with narrow spatulate crowns that are D-shaped in cross section, and no labial grooves or denticles; nine reduced and un-imbricated lower teeth; asymmetric lower tooth crowns which are elliptical-like in cross section, with lingual grooves and ridges and a lingually bulbous basal crown; a proximal expansion of the humerus that is about 54.9% the length of the humerus; and an ilium with a pointed preacetabular process.

Classification

Zhou et al. (2018) recover Liaoningotitan as a somphospondylan titanosauriform more derived than Euhelopus.Liaoningotitan to be an unstable taxon that may be closely related to Diamantinasaurus and Baotianmansaurus.

Paleoecology

Liaoningotitan is one of three titanosauriforms from the Yixian Formation of Liaoning, the others being Dongbeititan and Ruixinia.


KKNG-FM

KKNG-FM (97.3 FM) is a radio station licensed to Blanchard, Oklahoma, serving the Oklahoma City Metroplex.

KKNG-FM carries a religious talk and information radio format focusing on Catholic listeners, and airs programming from the EWTN Radio Network. The transmitter is at NE 40th Street at U.S. Route 62 in Blanchard.

History

On August 18, 1977, the station first signed on as KWEY-FM. It was originally licensed to Weatherford, Oklahoma.

It changed back to KWEY-FM on September 20, 1991. Until 2006, it was a country station branded "97.3 The Coyote". In 2006, the transmitter was moved closer to Oklahoma City and its format changed to variety hits. It became KOJK, and joined the Jack FM network as "97.3 Jack FM." It used the national programming feed for Jack stations in smaller markets.

On March 8, 2010, after playing "I'll Cry Instead" by The Beatles, KOJK flipped to country as "97.3 King Country." The call sign was later changed to KKNG-FM a week later to match the branding. (KKNG was previously used by a popular country station at 93.3 MHz, now KJKE.) KKNG's DJ's included Lynn Waggoner in the morning, Vanessa Valli midday, Owen Pickard for "The Afternoon Drive", and Carly Rae on the night shift. Waggoner also hosted The Sunday Morning Gospel Show, featuring Southern Gospel music.

On February 28, 2013, at 10 p.m., after playing "You're the Only One" by Dolly Parton, KKNG joined the statewide Oklahoma Catholic Radio network and took over the OKC simulcast from AM 890 KTLR, which had previously aired it part-time.

Rere, Chile

Rere is a town located in the commune of Yumbel, Province of Biobío, in the Bío Bío Region of Chile. It takes its name from the Moluche language of the indigenous confederation, or aillarehue, that occupied both sides of the Claro River and made up the greater confederation, or Butalmapu, between the Itata and Bio Bio Rivers. In 1603, then Royal Governor of Chile under Spanish rule Alonso de Ribera was to declare the erection of the areas first fort naming it Nuestra Señora de la Buena Esperanza (Our Lady of Good Hope). Later, in 1765, the town of Villa de San Luis Gonzaga de Rere was founded on that site by governor Antonio de Guill y Gonzaga. Today Rere sits 21 km west of the town of Yumbel.

History

The origins of Rere are directly related to the frontier war which had raged between the Spanish and Mapuches since the beginning of Colonization. During the 16th century the process of founding cities and seizing of property and lands from a then consolidated indigenous population, ran into problems in the area of the Río Biobío.

At that time a governor arrived in Chile, Alonso de Ribera who, seeing the failures of his predecessors, drew up a plan aimed at giving a new dynamism to the process of European Conquest decided there were to be constructed a series of forts along the length of the Bío Bío. With that in mind and conjointly as an object to secure the natural frontier, around 1603, between Chillán y Concepción the King's Ranch or Estancia de Rey was founded - that same year wheat was sown and livestock came to inhabit the Estancia.

The fort was born as a consequence of the need to store the plundered harvests and livestock. It shaped was characterized much more for defense than for launching attacks against the Araucanos. Furthermore, because of its location with the back of the fort on the banks of the Bío Bío, it served as the intermediate point to aid nearby outposts or as the gradual point of withdrawal from an eventual indigenous counter-offensive.


Rere, Chile

It was also the Provincial Capital or Corregimiento de Rere. Later, it was the capital of the Partido de Rere, dependent of the Intendencia de Concepción, which in 1823 was converted to the Delegación de Rere. Afterward it was the capital of the Departamento de Rere, of the Provincia de Concepción. Later, the head of the administrative department was moved to Yumbel.

In 1891, with the Decreto de Creación de Municipalidades (Decree of Creation of Municipalities), The municipality of Municipio de San Luis Gonzaga was created, whose territory spans the 2nd subdelegation of San Luis Gonzaga del Departamento de Rere.

With the enactment of DFL 8582 on 30 December 1927, The Departament of Yumbel was created from the Departament of Rere, minus the territory of the Municipality of Tucapel.

Parktown North

Parktown North is a suburb of Johannesburg, South Africa. It is one of the older residential areas of the Northern Suburbs, having been created as a residential area for the poorer relatives of the Randlords who had built their mansions on Parktown Ridge during the early days of the Rand gold rush (during the 1890s). It takes its name from being North of Parktown. The suburb has many old colonial-style houses, and manages to maintain a village atmosphere, despite being near to one of the busiest roads in the city, Jan Smuts Avenue.

Parktown North is in close proximity to the Gautrain and has many bus stops that transport commuters to Gautrain stations.

Many suburbs of Johannesburg are laid out as grids with numbered streets in one direction and numbered avenues intersecting perpendicularly. Parktown North is the only suburb of Johannesburg to have only numbered avenues with no numbered streets. It is not a grid and the avenues run in all directions. The suburb is built around a small spring and lake, however this is not visible from the street and is hidden from the public separating the gardens of three private houses.

Parktown North is a popular dining out venue for Johannesburg residents. Most notably 7th Avenue is home to many of the area's top restaurants.

O STRENGTH and Stay upholding all creation Who ever dost Thyself unmoved abide, yet day by day the light in due gradation from hour to hour though all its changes guide; Grant to life's day a calm unclouded ending, an eve untouched by shadows of decay, the brightness of a holy deathbed blending with dawning glories of the eternal day. Hear us, O Father, gracious and forgiving, and Thou, O Christ, the coeternal Word, Who, with the Holy Ghost by all things living, now and to endless ages art adored. Amen.

The original version of the hymn had the word "lumen" in the first line of the second verse, but some versions substituted the word "clarum" instead of lumen.

Meaning and purpose of the hymn

It comprises (like the hymns for Terce and Sext) only two stanzas of iambic dimeters together with a doxology, varying according to the feast or season.

As in the hymns for Prime, Sext and Compline, the theme is found in the steady march of the sun, that defines the periods of the day (and provided the basis of Roman and monastic chronology):

Rerum, Deus, tenax vigor Immotus in te permanens, Lucis diurnæ tempora Successibus determinans '.

which translates (not literally, nor strictly by verse):

'O God, whose power unmoved the whole of Nature's vastness doth control,


Rerum, Deus, tenax vigor

Who mark'st the day-hours as they run by steady marches of the sun'.

The moral application is, as usual, made in the following stanza:

Largire lumen vespere 'O grant that in life's eventide' Quo vita nusquam decidat, etc. 'Thy light may e'er with us abide', etc.

The authorship of the hymns for Terce, Sext and None is now ascribed only very doubtfully to St. Ambrose. They are not given to the saint by the Benedictine editors (see Ambrosian Hymnography), but are placed by Luigi Biraghi amongst his inni sinceri, since they are found in all the MSS. of the churches of Milan. Daniel (I, 23: IV, 13, 17) thinks that much longer hymns for the hours were replaced by the present ones. Pimont disagrees arguing that the saint may well have composed two sets of hymns for the hours. However, the researches of Blume (1908) show that the primitive Benedictine cycle of hymns, as attested by the Rules of Cæsarius and Aurelian of Arles, did not include these hymns, but assigned for Terce, Sext and None (for Eastertide) the hymns: "Jam surgit hora tertia", "Jam sexta sensim volvitur", "Ter hora trina volvitur"; the earliest MSS. of the cycle give for these hours, for the remainder of the year, the hymns: "Certum tenentes ordinem", "Dicamus laudes Domino", "Perfectum trinum numerum"; while other MSS. give as variants for Lent: "Dei fide qua vivimus", "Meridie orandum est", "Sic ter quaternis trahitur". This Benedictine cycle was replaced throughout Western Christendom by a later one, as shown by Irish and English MSS. which give the present hymns for the little hours.

Lepidobotryaceae

Lepidobotryaceae is a family of plants in the order Celastrales.Lepidobotrys staudtii (native to tropical Africa) and Ruptiliocarpon caracolito (native to South and Central America).

Description

The Lepidobotryaceae are dioecious trees. The leaves are alternate and arranged in two rows along the stems. The blade is elliptical in shape and the margin is entire. The leaves appear simple, but are actually unifoliate. A unifoliate leaf is a type of compound leaf that consists of a single leaflet mounted on the end of a rachis. A joint occurs where the leaflet is attached to the rachis.stipel and a pair of small stipules where the petiole attaches to the stem. After the emergence of the leaf, the stipel and stipules soon fall away.

The flowers are produced in small inflorescences opposite the leaves.sepals and five petals. The sepals and petals are similar in size and appearance, free from each other, or very shortly united at the base. In the flower bud, the sepals are arranged quincuncially. This means that two are inside, two are outside, and one of them has one margin exposed and the other covered.nectary disk is fleshy in Lepidobotrys, but extended into a tube in Ruptiliocarpon.stamens are in two whorls of five, one whorl opposite the sepals and the other opposite the petals. Those in the outer whorl, opposite the sepals, are longer. The filaments are fused at the base, shortly in Lepidobotrys, but forming an extension of the tubular nectary in Ruptiliocarpon. The pollen is produced in four thecae on each anther. The stigmas are elongated, appearing as false styles, known as stylodia.ovary is located inside the flower, rather than below. It has two or three locules, with two ovules per locule. The ovules are attached to the partition that separates the locules, near its summit. The fruit is a capsule with one, or rarely, two seeds. The seeds are black and partly covered with an orange aril.


Lepidobotryaceae

In 2000, a DNA analysis of the eudicots based on the rbcL gene showed that the families Lepidobotryaceae, Parnassiaceae, and Celastraceae form a strongly supported clade.

The families into which Lepidobotrys had usually been placed, Linaceae and Oxalidaceae, are now placed in the orders Malpighiales and Oxalidales, respectively, which are closely related to Celastrales. The orders Celastrales, Oxalidales, and Malpighiales, along with the unplaced family Huaceae form a group known as the COM clade of the rosids.

Rerum Novarum Centre

Rerum Novarum Centre, Taipei, increased operations in 1971 but had roots going back to Jesuit social services in Taiwan since the 1950s. The Centre tries to meet the major social and legal needs of native and foreign workers in the greater Taipei area, while also responding to emergencies and to the needs of the aboriginal peoples of Northern Taiwan.

History

Social Service Centre

Since the 1950s the Society of Jesus in Taiwan has pastored parishes among the Atayal tribe in north-central Taiwan and Jesuits in the cities have advocated for the rights of workers and of the disabled.

In the 1960s, the American Jesuit E. Dowd founded in Hsinchu a vocational school and dormitory for young workers. This work has evolved into the Catholic Social Service Centre in Hsinchu.

Rerum Novarum Centre

In 1971 Jesuits responded to the increasing influx of workers into Taipei by opening a centre that gathered information on problems facing workers, that trained union leaders, and that monitored the government's labour policies. The centre was named after Rerum Novarum ("Of New Things"), the 1891 encyclical of Pope Leo XIII which was the first in a series of social encyclicals in the Catholic church.

By the 1980s Rerum Novarum Centre was offering legal advice along with health and safety services for workers and was publishing books on worker issues. These issues grew to include advocacy for workers' rights, anti-nuclear power and the environment.Jiji earthquake in 1999 services were increased on behalf of the aboriginal communities of Nantou and Hsinchu counties.
