# MasterVoices

MasterVoices (formerly the Collegiate Chorale) is a symphonic choir based in New York City, USA. It was founded in 1941 by Robert Shaw, who was later to found the professional Robert Shaw Chorale. MasterVoices continues to give several performances annually in Carnegie Hall, New York City Center, Lincoln Center and other venues. The group performed at the opening of the United Nations and has sung and recorded with such conductors as Serge Koussevitzky, Arturo Toscanini and Leonard Bernstein. The organization's artistic director is Ted Sperling.
The group was originally named for its first home, Manhattan's Marble Collegiate Church, and was notable for Robert Shaw's insistence, from its inception, that the group be racially integrated. The choir and the church soon parted ways due to the church's concerns about the choir's ethnic and religious makeup. The chorale was led by Abraham Kaplan in the 1960s, and by conductor Richard Westenburg from 1973 to 1979, and by music director and conductor Robert Bass from 1979 until his death in 2008. Among the chorale's achievements during the Bass years were such performances at Carnegie Hall as the New York premiere of Richard Strauss's Friedenstag with the Orchestra of St. Luke's in 1997, the United States premiere of Dvořák's Dimitrij, the American premiere of Handel's Giove in Argo, Respighi's La fiamma and Puccini's Turandot with the new ending by Luciano Berio. Bass and the chorale also recorded and performed two of Beethoven's cantatas, Der Glorreiche Augenblick and Auf die Erhebung Leopold des Zwieten zur Kaiserwürde with sopranos Deborah Voigt and Elizabeth Futral. Notable singers who performed with the choir during these years, included Kathleen Battle, Stephanie Blythe, Vinson Cole, David Daniels, Lauren Flanigan, Maria Guleghina, Hei-Kyung Hong, Salvatore Licitra, Alessandra Marc and Bryn Terfel.
Roger Rees was the chorale's artistic associate from 2003 to 2015, and James Bagwell was music director from 2009 to 2015. In July 2007 the choir was invited to perform Brahms' Ein Deutsches Requiem at Switzerland's Verbier Festival.
The group changed its name to MasterVoices on August 3, 2015, the same year that Ted Sperling became its artistic director. He has directed their staged concerts of musicals and operettas such as Song of Norway, Knickerbocker Holiday, The Pirates of Penzance, My Fair Lady, Anyone Can Whistle, The Mikado and Iolanthe, and operas such as The Grapes of Wrath and Carmen. In 2021 MasterVoices received nominations for a Drama League Award and a New York Emmy Award for its digital concert production, Myths and Hymns.

# UDP-glucose 6-dehydrogenase

UDP-glucose 6-dehydrogenase is a cytosolic enzyme that in humans is encoded by the UGDH gene.
The protein encoded by this gene converts UDP-glucose to UDP-glucuronate and thereby participates in the biosynthesis of glycosaminoglycans such as hyaluronan, chondroitin sulfate, and heparan sulfate. These glycosylated compounds are common components of the extracellular matrix and likely play roles in signal transduction, cell migration, and cancer growth and metastasis. The expression of this gene is up-regulated by transforming growth factor beta and down-regulated by hypoxia.
This enzyme participates in 4 metabolic pathways: pentose and glucuronate interconversions, ascorbate and aldarate metabolism, starch and sucrose metabolism, and nucleotide sugars metabolism.
Loss of UGDH has recently been implicated in epileptic encephalopathy in humans

## Nomenclature

This enzyme belongs to the family of oxidoreductases, specifically those acting on the CH-OH group of donor with NAD$^+$ or NADP$^+$ as acceptor. The systematic name of this enzyme class is UDP-glucose:NAD$^+$ 6-oxidoreductase.
Other names in common use include:
* UDP-glucose dehydrogenase,
* uridine diphosphoglucose dehydrogenase,
* UDPG dehydrogenase,
* UDPG:NAD oxidoreductase,
* UDP-alpha-D-glucose:NAD oxidoreductase,
* UDP-glucose:NAD$^+$ oxidoreductase,
* uridine diphosphate glucose dehydrogenase,
* UDP-D-glucose dehydrogenase, and
* uridine diphosphate D-glucose dehydrogenase.

## Biochemistry

In enzymology, a UDP-glucose 6-dehydrogenase (EC 1.1.1.22) is an enzyme that catalyzes the chemical reaction
    UDP-glucose + 2 NAD$^+$ + H$_2$O $\rightleftharpoons$ UDP-glucuronate + 2 NADH + 2 H$^+$
The 3 substrates of this enzyme are UDP-glucose, NAD$^+$, and H$_2$O, whereas its 3 products are UDP-glucuronate, NADH, and H$^+$

# Peter Beveridge

Peter Beveridge (24 June 1829 – 4 October 1885) was a grazier and author in colonial Australia.

## Life

Beveridge was born at Dunfermline, Fife, Scotland, and went to Victoria ten years later with his father, who engaged in pastoral pursuits near the township of Beveridge, to which the family gave their name. In 1845 Mr. Peter Beveridge took up country on the lower Murray River, settling at Tyntyndyer, some ten miles below what is now Swan Hill. Here for twenty-three years he made a careful study of the habits and customs of the then numerous aborigines of the Lower Murray and Riverine districts. The result of his observations was embodied in a work entitled "The Aborigines of Victoria and Riverine," published posthumously in 1889. Beveridge, who latterly resided at French Island, died at Woodburn, near Kilmore, Victoria, Australia.

# Norfolk Blues

The Norfolk Blues are a Mid-Atlantic Rugby Football Union Division I/Championship Division Club in Norfolk, Virginia. Founded in the Spring of 1978 as a result of a merger between the Norfolk Rugby and Norfolk Irish Rugby Clubs. Through the Spring of 2010, the Blues have accumulated a first side 15's record of 509-190-14. Their home playing fields are Lafayette Park in Norfolk and the Virginia Beach Sportsplex in Virginia Beach.
The team symbol is the Norfolk Mace, a large, ornamental (pure silver) mace that was crafted by London silversmith Fuller White and was presented to the 'Borough of Norfolk' in 1754 by the acting Royal Governor of Virginia, Robert Dinwiddie (1693–1770) and is still used today for public ceremonies. The Blues team colors are Blue and Gold; the colors of the City of Norfolk.
The Norfolk Blues are named after the Norfolk Light Artillery Blues. Originally formed in 1829 as a state militia company and prestigious social club. The Blues served through the entire war and were one of the few military units that actually increased in size, during the conflict. The Blues took an oath to "never surrender" and did not lose a single man to desertion throughout the course of the American Civil War. The NLAB's were merged with the "First Company Richmond Howitzers" (organized on 9 November 1859) and the Portsmouth Light Artillery [organized on 15 February 1809] to become the modern day 1st Battalion, 111th Field Artillery of the Virginia National Guard.
The Norfolk Blues are a member club of the Virginia Rugby Union, the Mid-Atlantic Rugby Football Union, and the USA Rugby Football Union.

# Johann Berenberg

Johann Berenberg (12 March 1718 – 2 March 1772) was a German merchant and banker. He was a co-owner of Berenberg Bank from 1748, with his brother, senator Paul Berenberg, and after the latter's death in 1768 the sole owner. The bank still bears his name (Joh. Berenberg, Gossler & Co.). He was also noted as an art collector and held several public offices in the city-state of Hamburg.
He was a son of the Hamburg merchant banker and senator Rudolf Berenberg (1680–1746) and Anna Elisabeth Amsinck (1690–1748), and a grandson of Cornelius Berenberg and of the Lisbon and Hamburg merchant Paul Amsinck. He was also a great-grandson of the scholar Rudolf Capell, and was descended from the Welser family. Both his parents' families were from today's Belgium and the Netherlands, and his family retained its Dutch identity throughout his lifetime. An extensive list of his ancestors is included in the Hamburgisches Geschlechterbuch. The Berenberg company had been founded by his 2nd great-grandfather Hans Berenberg and the latter's brother Paul in 1590; both were married to daughters of the prominent Antwerp merchant Andries Snellinck and Françoise de Rénialme.
At the age of 17 he was sent to Venice, where he learnt his trade as an apprentice in a Venice firm between 1735 and 1741; his father had started his career as an apprentice in the same firm. In 1748 he became owner of the Berenberg company together with his brother Paul. He also held numerous honorary offices in Hamburg.
He was married to Anna Maria Lastrop (1723–1761), who belonged to a wealthy merchant family from Hamburg and Bremen, and they had two children. His only son Rudolf Berenberg was possibly mentally ill and died in the Dutch colony of Suriname in 1768, aged 20; he had apparently been sent to manage his family's business interests there. In the same year, senator Paul Berenberg died without an heir, making Johann Berenberg's daughter Elisabeth the last surviving member of the Berenberg family. In 1768, she married an employee of the Berenberg company, Johann Hinrich Gossler, and in 1769, Johann Berenberg made his son-in-law a partner. Three years after Berenberg's death, Johann Hinrich Gossler succeeded him as the company's head and sole owner.
# Treaty of Andelot

The Treaty of Andelot (or Pact of Andelot) was signed at Andelot-Blancheville in 587 between King Guntram of Burgundy and Queen Brunhilda of Austrasia. Based on the terms of the accord, Brunhilda agreed that Guntram adopt her son Childebert II as his successor and ally himself with Childebert against the revolted leudes. Gregory of Tours wrote in his Historia Francorum that in the thirteenth year of Childebert, he went on an embassy for the king from Metz to Chalon to meet Guntram, who alleged that prior promises were being broken, especially concerning the division of Senlis. Significantly to Gregory, the treaty brought about the cession of Tours by Guntram to Childebert. An agreement was provided in writing and Gregory preserves the text of the treaty in his history.

# So Long, Mother

"So Long, Mother" is a World War I era song released in 1917. Raymond B. Egan and Gus Kahn wrote the lyrics. Egbert Van Alstyne composed the music. The song was published by Jerome H. Remick & Co. of Detroit, Michigan. On the cover is a soldier and mother in an embrace. Adjacent is an inset photo of singer Al Jolson. It was written for both voice and piano.
The song is told from the soldier's point of view as he comforts his heavyhearted mother before he leaves for war. The chorus is as follows:
   So long my dear old lady Don't you cry Just kiss your grown-up baby goodbye Somewhere in France I'll be dreaming of you You and your dear eyes of blue Come let me see you smile before we part I'll throw a kiss to cheer your dear old heart Dry the tear in your eye Don't you sigh Don't you cry So long, mother Kiss your boy goody-bye
The sheet music can be found at Pritzker Military Museum & Library.
# Transvaal Supergroup

The Transvaal Supergroup is a stratigraphic unit in northern South Africa and southern Botswana, situated on the Kaapvaal Craton, roughly between 23 and 29 degrees southern latitude and 22 to 30 degrees eastern longitude. It is dated to the boundary between the Archean and Proterozoic eras, roughly 2,500 Mya. It is delimited by the Witwatersrand Basin (2,700 Mya) and the Bushveld Igneous Complex (2,050 Mya).
It consists of three parts,
* the Transvaal Basin in the east
* the Griqualand Basin in the west
* the smaller Kanye Basin in southern Botswana.
Transvaal sedimentation began with predominantly clastic sedimentary rocks (Black Reef-Vryburg Formations) followed by carbonate rocks and banded iron formations (Chuniespoort-Ghaap-Taupone Groups). After an erosional hiatus, the clastic sedimentary rocks and volcanics of the Pretoria-Postmasburg-Segwagwa Groups were deposited within the three basins, largely under closed-basin conditions. A final stage of predominantly volcanic succession (Rooiberg Group-Loskop Formation) is limited to the Transvaal Basin.
The Campbellrand-Malmani carbonate platform is part of the Chuniespoort Group and originally covered all of the Kaapvaal Craton. It has a thickness of over 1 km in both the Malmani and Campbellrand Subgroups. The Malmani Subgroup is situated northwest of Johannesburg. It consists of dolomite and chert with only minor clastic sediments.
Several workers such as an environmentalist, Isaac Chuene, Raymond Ngobeni and Khutso Masemola noted the presence of fossils in the Chunniespoort mountains of the Chunniespoort Group.

# Masked flowerpiercer

The masked flowerpiercer (Diglossa cyanea) is a species of bird in the tanager family, Thraupidae. It is found in humid montane forest and scrub in Venezuela, Colombia, Ecuador, Peru and Bolivia. Flowerpiercers got their name from the fact that they have a sharp hook on the tip of their upper mandible which they use to slice open the base of flowers to get at the nectar.

## Description

The masked flowerpiercer grows to a length of about 15 cm (6 in). The adult male is deep ultramarine blue with a dark mask. The beak is large, black, and upturned, with a characteristic hook on the tip of the upper mandible. The iris is bright red. The female is similar in appearance but altogether duller. The juvenile has a reddish-brown iris. At the northern end of its range, the song is a series of reedlike notes terminating in a twitter, while at the southern end, it is a jangling series of high-pitched notes ending with several lengthy "tseee" notes. These differing songs suggest that the northerly and southerly populations may be different species.

## Distribution and habitat

The masked flowerpiercer is endemic to the Andes in South America where its range extends from Venezuela and Colombia, through Ecuador and Peru to Bolivia. It inhabits montane forest, cloud forest, secondary forest, scrubby woodland and forest edges, at altitudes between about 2,000 and 3,500 m (6,600 and 11,500 ft).

## Ecology

This bird is often seen in small groups or mixed flocks, foraging through the foliage for insects and fruit, and probing into flowers with its beak. The flowers of the small tree Axinaea sclerophylla are pollinated by birds, the pollen being liberated in a puff when the stamens are manipulated. During a research study, the only bird seen visiting the flowers was the masked flowerpiercer, which proceeded to pull off and consume the stamens, one at a time.
Breeding takes place between June and September in Colombia, but in other parts of the range, juveniles have been seen at various times of year. The nest is a cup-shaped construction, built in a bush, and composed of mosses and dry grasses and lined with feathers. The eggs are pale bluish-green blotched and speckled with reddish-brown.

## Status

The masked flowerpiercer is described as being common within its very wide range. The International Union for Conservation of Nature has assessed its conservation status as being of "least concern" due to its stable population and lack of threats.
