# Corpus Christi Terminal Railroad

The Corpus Christi Terminal Railroad (reporting mark CCPN) was a terminal railroad originally created in 1924 to facilitate heavy bulk freight cargo traffic flow from the recently completed deep water port channel of the new Corpus Christi Port. Wishing to maximize freight handling potential while holding down rates, the Port Authority decided to allow traffic to all of its docks and facilities by no less than three competing railroads, the Southern Pacific, the Missouri Pacific and the Tex Mex railroads. To accomplish this the Port of Corpus Christi Authority built its own trackage along the channel and to the docks, and allowed all three carriers access to it. While the Authority's scheme at first heightened tensions among the three railroads, they eventually began to cooperate, assuring a good flow of bulk freight and the eventual success of the Port facilities.
On August 3, 1997, Rail Link, a wholly owned subsidiary of Genesee & Wyoming., leased the lines and took over day-to-day operation of the railroad, though the 26 miles (42 km) of physical trackage is still owned by the Port of Corpus Christi Authority. As of 2007 railroad connections existed with the Union Pacific, BNSF and Texas Mexican railroads.

# Peter Gidal

Peter Gidal (born 1946) is a British avant-garde filmmaker and film theorist.

## Biography

Gidal was born in 1946, growing up in Mount Vernon, New York and Switzerland. He studied theater, psychology, and literature at Brandeis University from 1964 to 1968 and enrolled at the University of Munich from 1966 to 1967.
Gidal moved to London in July 1968 to study at the Royal College of Art. He quickly joined the London Film-Makers' Co-op. Gidal was concerned by American imperialism during the Vietnam War, and his filmmaking explicitly focused questions of representation that were both aesthetic and political. Deke Dusinberre distinguished Gidal's films from American structural films based on their shapelessness, writing that "the end of the film cannot be predicted, there is no 'goal' achieved, and there is no overall shape which could be metaphorically exploited to engage other issues." He highlighted Room Film 1973 as a culmination of Gidal's mature films for its denial of easily recognizable images, its erratic camera movements, and its "sense of surface". Critic Bob Cowan panned Gidal's films, describing them as "typically representative of the pathetic vacuousness of certain works included in the minimal-structural camp."
Gidal's best-known essay "Theory and Definition of Structural/Materialist Film", first published in 1974, was influential in championing European avant-garde film of the time. He published the 1976 Structural Film Anthology, one of the earliest books to cover British avant-garde cinema.

# Partita for keyboard No. 6, BWV 830

The Partita for keyboard No. 6 in E minor, BWV 830, is a suite of seven movements written for the harpsichord by Johann Sebastian Bach. It was published in 1731 both as a separate work and as part of Bach's Clavier-Übung I.

## History

Prior to publication, two movements of BWV 830 formed part of the first version of the sixth sonata in E minor for obbligato harpsichord and violin, BWV 1019: the Corrente as a harpsichord solo; and the Tempo di gavotta as a duo for violin and harpsichord. The surviving manuscript, largely written by Bach's nephew Johann Heinrich Bach, has been dated to 1725; the harpsichord parts for these two movements were written by Bach himself. BWV 830 is the last suite in Bach's Clavier-Übung I, the first music published by Bach within his lifetime. The partitas were initially published separately, starting in 1726; the title page of the collection of six, published together in 1731, carries the designation "Opus 1".

## Musical structure

This partita consists of seven movements all in E minor.
* Toccata
* Allemande
* Corrente
* Air
* Sarabande
* Tempo di gavotta
* Gigue

## Reception and legacy

David Schulenberg describes this partita: "The Sixth Partita is the crowning work of the set and Bach's greatest suite. The allemande and sarabande contain some of the most audacious and dramatic melodic embellishment ever written, and the work opens and closes with two particularly ambitious contrapuntal movements." Peter Williams, however, considers that some movements from Clavier-Übung I that were composed earlier than others, such as the Gigue from BWV 830, have a "grinding quality that is totally absent from the elegant and novel No. 1."
Martin Gester [fr] says about Sarabande in his notes in the booklet to his recording of partitas: "As for the following Sarabande, it plunges us into deep reflection. It is a pure lamento and perhaps the most intensely expressive piece in all of Bach's works for harpsichord."
American composer George Rochberg's harpsichord fantasia Nach Bach contains direct musical quotations from this partita.

# Abba Jifar I

Moti Abba Jifar I (r. 1830–1855) was the first king of the Gibe Kingdom of Jimma.

## Reign

Abba Jifar was the son of Abba Magal, who was a leader of the Diggo Oromo. He built upon the political and military base his father had provided him, and created the Kingdom of Jimma. Consequently, Jimma was no longer referred to as Jimma Kaka in common parlance, but as Jimma Abba Jifar.
Herbert S. Lewis credits Abba Jifar with having initiated "many administrative and political innovations", despite the lack of specific historical evidence. According to oral tradition, Abba Jifar claimed the right to the extensive areas of the newly conquered land as well as virgin or unused land, which he both kept for himself and used to reward his family, followers and favorites. He reportedly constructed at least five palaces in different parts of Jimma.
The historian Mordechai Abir notes that between the years 1839 and 1841 of his reign, Abba Jifar fought with Abba Bagido the King of Limmu-Ennarea over the district of Badi-Folla. The area was important for control of the caravan route between the Kingdom of Kaffa on the one hand, and the provinces of Gojjam and Shewa on the other. While the two Kings negotiated a peace in 1841, and sealed the treaty with the marriage of Abba Jifar's daughter to Abba Bagido's son Abba Dula, the Jimma King eventually conquered Badi-Folla (1847) and secured control over this important caravan route.
Abba Jifar was also the first king of Jimma to embrace Islam, owing his conversion in 1830 to Abdul Hakim, a trader from Gondar. Lewis notes that as of 1960, Abdul Hakim's tomb in Jiren was still a venerated site.

# Park Region Luther College

Park Region Luther College is a former educational institution in Fergus Falls, Minnesota. The college's main building is listed on the National Register of Historic Places. It is now occupied by Hillcrest Lutheran Academy, a private Christian junior high and boarding high school.
The historic building was constructed in 1901 with dormitory rooms for 200 students by the Norwegian Lutheran Synod to house the college. The four-story red brick and sandstone building, located on a hilltop overlooking the city, is in the Romanesque Revival style and was designed by Twin Cities architects Omeyer and Thori, who also designed educational buildings at St. Olaf College, courthouses in Windom and Ada, and the E.J. Webber house and Ole Hagen's Autograph Block in Fergus Falls. Its construction, supervised by contractor John Lauritzen, required all of the brick masons available in the area. The building was listed on the National Register of Historic Places in 1984.
Construction of the red brick and sandstone building required all the brick masons that could be found in the area. Arched windows, gabled dormers and a pencil-point belfry accentuate the building's height. As the topography levels off west of the city, the college's hilltop location contributes a commanding appearance in Classicized Revival.
Park Region Luther College operated on the site until 1932, when the synod decided to concentrate its academic efforts on Concordia College in Moorhead. Three years later, the campus was sold to the Church of the Lutheran Brethren, which operates Hillcrest Lutheran Academy.
