# Masterprize International Composing Competition

Masterprize International Composing Competition, informally known as Masterprize, was an international composing competition founded in April 1996 by author, investment banker and former diplomat, John McLaren. The brief for the inaugural competition was "to find new and original works for symphony orchestra with artistic integrity with the potential for broad and lasting appeal". Additional specifications were that the compositional entry should be of a duration of 8 to 12 minutes and that composers could be of any age or nationality. For the 2001 competition, the submitted works had to have been scored for orchestral forces of between 50 and 90 players and have a duration of between 6 and 15 minutes. Composers who were awarded first place received a monetary prize of either £25,000 for the 1998 competition, or £30,000 for the 2001 and 2003 competitions, respectively.
The first Masterprize competition which culminated in 1998 was supported by significant institutions, such as the European Broadcasting Union, the BBC orchestras, BBC Radio 3, EMI Records, the London Symphony Orchestra, the BBC Music Magazine and the Worshipful Company of Musicians. The final round of the competition was held at the Barbican on 7 April 1998 where the London Symphony Orchestra under Daniel Harding performed the six finalist works in full. The gala concert was attended by Cherie Blair who presented the winning composers with their prizes.

# St. Albans Messenger

The St. Albans Messenger is a newspaper published in St. Albans, Vermont. The newspaper is distributed throughout Franklin County and Northwestern Vermont.

## History

In 1833 The Franklin Journal was founded in St. Albans as a newspaper advocating the platform of the Anti-Masonic Party. From 1833 to 1837 it was published and edited by Samuel N. Sweet and then Joseph H. Brainerd. Joseph H. Brainerd was the cousin of Lawrence Brainerd.
In 1837 Joseph Brainerd sold the paper to Enoch B. Whiting, who changed the name to The St. Albans Messenger. In 1863 Whiting began publication of the Messenger as a daily newspaper, and it has continued as a daily since then.
In 1871 Whiting sold the Messenger to Albert Clarke and J. Dorsey Taylor, who merged it with another paper to create The Messenger and Transcript. Clarke became sole owner in 1873 and ran the newspaper with William E. Barrett as editor until 1880, when S. B. Pettingill became the editor. Pettingill also obtained control of another paper, The St. Albans Advertiser, and consolidated their publication as The Messenger and Advertiser. Subsequent publishers and editors included D. W. Dixon, Warren Gibbs, and George T. Childs. In 1892 a corporation was formed to publish the paper, the Messenger Company. Edward Curtis Smith served as president of the Messenger company in the 1890s.
In 1892 Frank L. Greene became assistant editor, and he became editor in 1899.
The Messenger continued to pass through various owners until Emerson Lynn became publisher and editor in 1981.
Since 2002, the Messenger has received over 40 journalism awards in national, regional, and statewide competitions. In December 2018, Emerson and Suzanne Lynn sold it to Jim O'Rourke, owner of O'Rourke Media Group. Emerson Lynn continued to write Opinion pieces for the publication.
In January 2021, the paper announced it was reducing its publication from five days per week to two days.

# Zhegër

Zhegër (in Albanian) or Žegra (in Serbian; Жегра) is a village in the Gjilan district of Kosovo. It is located in the Karadak region on the banks of the Žegra river, a right tributary of the Binačka Morava, at the foot of Kušljevica (614 m), on both sides of the road towards Donja Budriga.

## Etymology

Žegra is mentioned for the first time as a place of residence in the charter of King Milutin when it was handed over to the Gračanica Monastery, then in the charter of Empress Milica with her sons, in 1393. The village was a feudal holding of the monastery to whom it paid tributaries. On the occasion of the appointment of the mezhds of the village of Livoç, in Mikel Lluakri's book in the 15th century, it is mentioned as Segra, while in the 1455 Ottoman register of Vëllk Vilayet, it is mentioned as Zhipa, which according to the settlements for the district, as the researcher Sherafedin Kadriu states, turns out to be Zhegër.

## History

On 13 April 1999, during the Kosovo War, ethnic Albanians from the village were reportedly expelled by Yugoslav forces. After the end of the war, some 500 ethnic Serbs fled from the village. The United Nations High Commissioner for Refugees (UNHCR) estimated that prior to the war they constituted 10% of the majority ethnic Albanian village.
The village was the site of a clash between armed Serbs and members of the U.S. Marines from the Kosovo Force (KFOR) on 23 June 1999, in the aftermath of the war, which resulted in the deaths of three people.

## Geography

The settlement of Zhegër is located near the border of North Macedonia, at the foot of the Karadak Mountains, and is rich in fertile land. It has an elongated shape (3.7 km), along the Karadak River and lies in the southeastern part of Kosovo, in the triangle between Kosovo, Serbia and Macedonia. The suitable geographical position enables a good access to other centers of Kosovo and the region.
Cadastral areas within the local community in Zhegër are: Demiraj, Haxhaj, Kurexh, Selisht and Terziaj

## Economy

As in other parts of Kosovo, Zhegër faces high unemployment. The individual household sector employs a significant number of residents, mainly engaged in agriculture and animal husbandry.

## Demographics

The 2011 Kosovo census recorded 3,327 inhabitants, nearly all of whom were ethnic Albanians.

## Notable people

* Agim Ramadani, KLA commander
* Xherdan Shaqiri (born 1991) a Swiss professional footballer who plays for Major League Soccer club Chicago Fire FC and Switzerland.
# Szentgyörgymező

Szentgyörgymező (German: Georgenfeld, meaning: "St. George's field") is the northern part of the city of Esztergom in Hungary, on the right bank of the river Danube. It was a separate village until 1895, when it was merged with the "Royal Esztergom" as 4th district, along with neighboring Víziváros and Szenttamás. In the northern part of Szentgyörgymező lies a military cemetery, where 604 Hungarian and 175 Austrian soldiers of the 1848 revolution are buried. This is the biggest cemetery of the 1848 revolution.

## History

The "St. George's provostry" was founded by Saint Stephen. The village was first mentioned in 1230. The baroque Roman Catholic church was built in 1785 on the site of the previous church, and the neoclassical Miklósffy-chapel - the cemetery chapel - was built in 1835. The village itself was a property of the archbishop of Esztergom. The Reading circle was founded in the 19th century, and still functions as the cultural centre of the district. In 1854 Szentgyörgymező was merged with Esztergom for the first time, but in 1868 they were separated by the wishes of Esztergom county. In 1891 the village had 325 households and had 2698 Hungarian inhabitants. In 1895 it was merged with Esztergom for the second - and final - time as the 4th district of Esztergom. Most of the people were wine-growers, 80% of them were living from agriculture, and Szentgyörgymező has kept its rural appearance. In the 1980s ruins of 10-12th century houses were discovered and excavated. László Paskai, cardinal of Hungary, former Archbishop of Esztergom lives here.

## History

The paper was established in 1877 as the Democratic weekly The Observer by M. P. Prettyman, who bought the printing plant of the failed West Virginia Methodist Protestant. Prettyman, a schoolteacher who had developed an interest in typography, taught himself over a series of weekends to set type and run the press. He would later change the paper's to The Oracle in 1881.
The paper passed through a number of owner's before becoming R. A. Gallagher purchased it and changed the name to the St Marys Oracle in 1885.

# Kie, Friesland

Kie (Dutch pronunciation:) is a hamlet in the Dutch municipality of Waadhoeke in the province of Friesland. It is located northwest of Hitzum, southeast of Herbaijum and just southwest of Franeker, of which it is a part administratively. The settlement of the hamlet is located on a road of the same name. The Van Harinxma Canal, formerly called the Harlingertrekvaart, flows north of Kie.
The floodgate constructed near Kie took its name from the hamlet: Kiesterzijl.

## Etymology

In 1407 the place was mentioned as Kee (Grata kee and Liteka kee), in 1511 as Lutke kie, in 1543 as Kye, in 1572 as Kije and from the 17th century as Kie. The place name is said to be a contraction of the Old Frisian word kêthe or kîth, which means inheritance and family property. The inhabitants of Kie were often named Kesitt(e)ra or Keestra, which form occurs in the New Frisian surname Kiestra (next to Keestra).

## History

Kie was originally part of Herbaijum and both belonged to the grietenij of Franekeradeel. The management of Franekeradeel was in the hands of a grietman, assisted by a number of fellow judges. They were elected for one year and the positions rotated according to a fixed system: the rechtsomgang. Owners of a farm and associated land were eligible to vote. For example, in 1407 a resident of Kie, Sibet van Kee, became the grietman of Franekeradeel and in 1410 he was a judge.
When the city of Franeker separated from Franekeradeel in 1474, thirteen settlements (including the hamlet of Kie) remained with Franekeradeel as Franeker Uitburen. In 1531 they joined the city and formed a separate district there until 1917. In 1514 Kie consisted of four farms. The oldest farm of the current buildings dates from 1700, which is mentioned in a gable stone.
In 1921, the traditional windmills in Kie were replaced by an American windmill, which in turn was replaced in 1961 by a motor pumping station, which served until 1973. There has been a signalman's house (wachtpost 8) on the track since 1869. During the German occupation of the Netherlands, the signalman's position was abolished here.
The Kie industrial estate was constructed on the east side of Kie in the 21st century. There is no place name sign, only the street name is a reminder of the hamlet.
# Polites (friend of Odysseus)

In Greek mythology, Polites (Ancient Greek: Πολίτης), the friend of Odysseus, was a minor character in the epics by Homer.

## Mythology

Polites was a member of Odysseus's crew. Odysseus refers to him as his dearest friend, though he is only mentioned twice. It is unclear whether he was killed by Scylla or by the lightning bolt that Zeus hurled at Odysseus's ship.
Polites features more prominently in some versions of the folk tale known as The Hero of Temesa, which recounts the tale of one of Odysseus's crew (in some sources unnamed, but in others, including in the retelling by Strabo, identified as Polities) who was killed on the island of Temesa and returned as a vengeful ghost. Various sources give different accounts of the death—some say he was stoned after raping a woman, others simply claim he was murdered by the locals—but in all versions, the ghost threatened the populace and extracted a high tribute in exchange for a more peaceful coexistence until he was defeated by a visitor to the island, sometimes identified as Euthymus of Locri, a boxer and Olympic victor. Because the ghost is sometimes described as wearing a wolfskin, scholar David Odgen speculates that "we are probably dealing with a monster that is mixanthropic: partly human and partly animal, a wolf-man..." and thus an early classical example of a werewolf story.

## In post-classical tradition
### Music

Polites appears as a character of Epic: The Musical, a sung-through adaption of The Odyssey created by musician Jorge Rivera-Herrans. Steven Dookie provides the voice of Polites.
