# Verkündigung (Braunfels)

Verkündigung ("Annunciation") is a 1935 mystery opera (ein Mysterium) in a prologue and four acts by Walter Braunfels to the composer's own libretto after the German translation of Paul Claudel's L'Annonce faite a Marie. Claudel's play tells the story of a woman, Violaine, who moved by pity kisses a leper and contracts leprosy herself, but heals the leper she had embraced. Violaine also brings back to life the child born to her sister Mara and Jacques, the man who betrayed her, and then dies herself. The names of Claudel's characters are germanified so the father Andre Vercors becomes Andreas Gradherz, Pierre de Craon becomes Peter von Ulm, and so on. The opera was premiered on 4 April 1948 in Cologne, conducted by Hellmut Schnackenburg, with Trude Eipperle as Violaine.

# Ontario Police Memorial

The Ontario Police Memorial is located in Toronto's Queen's Park, in Ontario, Canada. The monument was dedicated in 2000.

## Description and history

Designed by Siggy Puchta, the memorial features two figures atop a granite plinth: a male police officer in 1950s duty dress and a female police officer in 2000s duty dress. The monument includes a list of names, in random order, of every Ontario police officer who died while serving the public. As of 2008, 234 names were added to the wall.

# The Whispering Road

The Whispering Road is a 2005 children's book by Livi Michael. It won the Nestlé Children's Book Prize Bronze Award and the Stockton Children's Book of the Year Award, as well as being shortlisted for the Ottakar's Children's Book Prize.

## Plot summary

The Whispering Road documents the stories of Joe, a young, orphaned boy who loves to tell fantastical stories, and Annie, his younger sister who can contact the dead. Since their mother left them on the front step of the local workhouse, Joe and Annie have been searching for her, but to no success. At the beginning of the novel, they work for a cruel master and mistress, whose chores they complete. An abusive old man named Old Bert supervises them constantly and punishes them for the least mistake. Old Bert forces Joe and Annie to sleep in the chicken coop, and threatens to kill Joe if they wake him up. After Annie becomes cold, Joe, angered at the people of the farm, makes the decision to run away; he tries to catch one of the chickens. Joe's perturbed efforts wake up most of the chickens, attracting Old Bert, who Joe hits over the head with a shovel. Young Bert sends the farm owner's hounds upon the siblings, who make for the nearby fence separating the estate from the woods. It is assumed that they escape and fall asleep somewhere in the woods, thus, when they wake up, they are greeted by a hobbit-like man who seems warm and kind. He names himself as Travis, and tells them many stories about his adventures in the woods, such as meeting Dog-woman, an outcast angel. Joe and Annie travel far and wide searching for their mother. Soon they meet other outcasts in a traveling circus. Joe sells Annie and sets off for Manchester, where he meets a street gang. He becomes a member and stays with them for a while. They taught him about Manchester and he taught them how to use a sling. Suddenly, an epidemic spread through the gang. A member, called Lookout, becomes sick and soon dies.

# Three Rivers Petroglyph Site

There are over 21,000 petroglyphs at the Three Rivers Petroglyph Site at Three Rivers, New Mexico, located midway between Tularosa and Carrizozo in Otero County on Highway 54. Many of the petroglyphs can be easily viewed from a trail open to the public which winds through the rocks for about one mile. The petroglyphs are thought to be the product of the Jornada Mogollon people between about 1000 and 1400 AD. The site is protected and maintained by the Bureau of Land Management.
The locale is called Three Rivers because Indian Creek, Golondrina ("Swallow") Creek, and Three Rivers come together near the site. The petroglyphs at Three Rivers were recorded during a six-year project by the Archaeological Society of New Mexico's Rock Art Recording Field Schools. Photographs and records are on file at the Bureau of Land Management's District Office in Las Cruces.

# Upper Nihotupu Reservoir

The Upper Nihotupu Reservoir (or Upper Nihotupu Dam) is one of five reservoirs in the Waitākere Ranges that supply water to Auckland, New Zealand. Completed in 1923, the concrete gravity dam and its reservoir are managed by Watercare Services, a council-owned company.

## Construction

After the 1898 Auckland droughts, an alternative to the Western Springs pumping station was investigated, with the Waitākere Ranges considered the best option. In 1902, wooden dams were placed at Nihotupu and neighbouring Quinns Creek, which were demolished by 1914.
The dam was tendered in 1915, and a contract awarded to Gisborne firm Langlands and Company. During the construction of a tramline between the construction site and the wharf at Big Muddy Creek, a freak accident occurred during blasting when a stray rock flew 100m into the site office, killing contractor William Langlands. Construction was slow due to high rainfall and flooding in the area, and a lack of labour and resources because of the outbreak of World War I, but the dam was eventually finished in 1923.

## Tourism

The Nihotupu area and the picturesque Nihotupu Falls were a tourist attraction in the late 19th century before the dam was built. The dam can be reached by walking track access from Piha Road, with steep steps lead up the face of the dam.
The Nihotupu Tramline built during the construction of the dam was later used for the Watercare-run Rainforest Express tourist attraction. In November 2014, the Nihotupu Tramline and Waitakere Tramline were permanently closed to the public by Watercare after a geological report found 20 "at-risk" sites along the tramline paths.

# Anhalt-Zerbst

Anhalt-Zerbst was a district in Saxony-Anhalt, Germany. It is bounded by (from the north and clockwise) the districts Potsdam-Mittelmark (Brandenburg) and Wittenberg, the city of Dessau and the districts of Köthen, Schönebeck and Jerichower Land.

## History

While Zerbst is a small town today, together with Dessau it was one of the two central cities of Anhalt. When the state of Anhalt was dissolved in 1603, one of the successor states was the principality of Anhalt-Zerbst. It was a small state with almost no political power. In 1793 the line of the princes became extinct, and Anhalt-Zerbst was annexed by the neighbouring principality of Anhalt-Dessau.
The present district was established in 1994 by merging the former districts of Zerbst and Roßlau with parts of the former district of Gräfenhainichen. Its borders are roughly identical with the ancient principality.
The district of Anhalt-Zerbst was dissolved in 2007 and divided into the new districts of Anhalt-Bitterfeld, Jerichower Land and Wittenberg.
Russian empress, Catherine the Great, was, by birth, a princess of Anhalt-Zerbst.

## Geography

Anhalt-Zerbst comprises plain countryside north of the Elbe River. The Elbe enters the district in the east, runs through the southeastern part and then forms the southern and western border of Anhalt-Zerbst. The Elbe banks within the district are part of the Biosphere Reserve Middle Elbe. The north is occupied by the southern portions of the Fläming plateau.

## Coat of arms

# Veraudunus

Veraudunus is the name of a Celtic god known only from two votive inscriptions found in Luxembourg. One of these inscriptions suggests that ‘Veraudunus’ may have been an epithet of the important Treveran god Lenus Mars. In both inscriptions, Veraudunus is invoked along with Inciona.
On the large stone slab from Mensdorf on the Widdebierg, pictured at right, the god Veraudunus (DEO VERAVDVNO) and Inciona are invoked in honour of the imperial family in fulfilment of a vow made by Marcus Pl(autius?) Restitutus' mother Alpinia Lucana.
The second inscription is a small bronze votive plaque from Kaul in Luxembourg, which reads:
    [LE]NO MAR[TI] VERAVDVN(O) ET INCION(A)E MI [L]ITIVS PRIS CINVS EX VOT(O)
If the letters NO MAR can be restored as Leno Marti, then ‘Veraudunus’ appears to be an epithet of Lenus Mars, the tribal protector of the Treveri who inhabited what is now Luxembourg.
The name of the Widdebierg itself has been said to derive from ‘Veraudunus’.

# Patrick John Ovens

Major General Patrick John Ovens, OBE, MC (4 November 1922 – 29 January 1994) was a distinguished senior officer in the British Royal Navy. He was awarded the Military Cross for service in the Korean War and later served as an aide-de-camp to Queen Elizabeth II.

## Early life and education

Patrick John Ovens was born in Cirencester (Gloucestershire) in the southwest of England, the eldest of four children of Edward Alec Ovens (1897–1961) by his marriage in June 1921 to Mary Linsel Constable (1895–1969). Ovens was educated at King's School, an independent boarding school in Bruton (Somerset), where he was invited to become a governor many years later.

## Military career

In 1941, Ovens was commissioned into the Royal Marines. He was stationed on HMS Illustrious in the Mediterranean from 1942 to 1943, before spending the latter part of the war as an instructor at the Royal Marine Depot, Deal. He entered the Commando Basic Training Centre as a lieutenant in 1945 and was posted to the No. 46 (Royal Marine) Commando that same year shortly before it was disbanded.
After the war, Ovens filled a number of training and staff appointments. In the summer of 1950, shortly before the Korean War, he sailed in Samuel Pepys, a Royal Naval Sailing Association yacht, in the race from Newport, Rhode Island to Bermuda.
Ovens won his Military Cross in 1951 during the Korean War. In November 1950, he led a party of seven Marines to safety after they had been surrounded by the Chinese army in the Battle of Chosin Reservoir. Despite the heavy odds against their making it, they successfully navigated their way across the snow-covered hills under cover of darkness to rejoin their own lines at Koto-Ri, four miles to the south.
Ovens "went on to consolidate his reputation as an innovative and resourceful assault engineer." He soon became a key player in destabilising Chinese and North Korean commerce, "quickly demonstrated the imagination and unflappability which were to characterise his whole career."
In 1968, Ovens was appointed an Officer of the Order of the British Empire for his command of 41 Commando. As the commanding officer, he played a leading in clearing Cornwall's beaches following the SS Torrey Canyon disaster (the county's worst-ever oil spillage).
From 1970 to 1972, Ovens served as commander of the 3 Commando Brigade in succession to Brigadier Peter Whiteley. On 17 July 1972, he was appointed an Aide-de-camp to Queen Elizabeth II.
In 1974, Ovens was promoted to chief of staff to the Commandant General Royal Marines, with the rank of Major general. From 1976 to 1979, he served as Commandant of the Joint Warfare Establishment. He retired on 2 April 1979.

## Personal life

In 1952, Ovens married Margaret Mary White. They had two daughters and one son (Jerry Ovens, a Royal Navy commander).
# Mississippi Heritage Trust

The Mississippi Heritage Trust (MHT) was established in 1992 as a non-profit preservation organization in the state of Mississippi. Its mission is to save and renew places meaningful to Mississippians and their history, which is accomplished by education, advocacy, and preservation. MHT is supported by private resources that include special funding events, membership fees, grants, and gifts. MHT is governed by a Board of Trustees, with day-to-day operation under the guidance of an Executive Director and staff located in Jackson, Mississippi.

## Accomplishments

Beginning in 1999, a recurring accomplishment of the organization has been its annual list of the Ten Most Endangered Historic Places in Mississippi. The objective of the list is to raise awareness of the most threatened historic places in the state. Through this awareness effort, dozens of historic places have been restored and preserved in Mississippi. As an example, the King Edward Hotel in Jackson was on the Heritage Trust's first endangered list in 1999. Although vacant for more than 30 years, the King Edward was renovated and reopened in 2009 as the Hilton Garden Inn.
Mississippi Heritage Trust, in coordination with preservation partners, successfully lobbied the Mississippi Legislature to pass a preservation tax credit to stimulate private investments in restoration of historic properties. Concomitantly, MHT developed a historic preservation curriculum for use in Mississippi public schools to educate children about the value of preserving historic properties.

## Presentations

Periodically, the Heritage Trust presents awards to outstanding preservation projects from across Mississippi. In April 2012, Heritage Awards were presented during the Conference on Power of Preservation in Economic Development at Ocean Springs. Awards were given to "…demonstrate excellence in the preservation, rehabilitation, restoration, and interpretation of architectural and cultural heritage in Mississippi". Completed projects included restoration of railroad depots, rehabilitation of city halls, houses, and commercial buildings throughout the state, and restoration of a historic county courthouse in Raymond, Mississippi.
