# Dir, dir, Jehova, will ich singen

"Dir, dir, Jehova, will ich singen" (To you, to you, Jehova, I want to sing) is a Lutheran hymn, with 1695 text by Bartholomäus Crasselius. A melody attributed to Johann Sebastian Bach appeared in Schemellis Gesangbuch. It was translated into English by Catherine Winkworth in 1863 as "Jehovah, let me now adore Thee". The song became part of many German hymnals, such as Evangelisches Gesangbuch and Gotteslob. From the 1930s, the hymn has often been rendered as "Dir, dir, o Höchster, will ich singen".

## History

Bartholomäus Crasselius was a Lutheran pastor who studied in Halle August Hermann Francke and was influenced by Pietism. He wrote the text of "Dir, dir, Jehova, will ich singen", published in 1695 with a melody from Hamburg. A different melody by Johann Sebastian Bach appeared in as a four-part chorale, "Dir, dir, Jehova, will ich singen", BWV 299, in the 1725 Notebook for Anna Magdalena Bach. He adapted it to a version for voice and continuo in Schemellis Gesangbuch, BWV 452.
The hymn became commonly distributed and used. The song became part of many German hymnals. Under the Nazi regime, Protestant groups aimed at avoiding words regarded as Jewish, and "Jehova" was replaced by "Höchster" (Highest). Another interpretation is, that not uttering the name of God also has something to do with respect for people who believe in Judaism. In the Protestant hymnal Evangelisches Kirchengesangbuch it was EG 237, and in the 1995 edition Evangelisches Gesangbuch, it is EG 328. It was included in the Catholic hymnal Gotteslob in regional sections, such as in the Diocese of Limburg as GL 811, in three stanzas, and with the 1690 melody from Hamburg.

## Text and translation

"Dir, dir, Jehova, will ich singen" is written in seven stanzas of six lines each. It is in bar form. The song was translated into English by Catherine Winkworth in 1863 as "Jehovah, let me now adore Thee".

# Nine.com.au

Nine.com.au (formerly Ninemsn) is an Australian news website, owned by Nine Entertainment. It was originally established as a 50:50 joint venture between Microsoft and PBL Media (now Nine Entertainment) in 1997 as "Ninemsn." Microsoft sold its stake in the venture to Nine Entertainment in 2013 and the company was rebranded as Nine Digital in 2016. The website was rebranded to its current name Nine.com.au on 28 June 2016.
Nine.com.au is currently a network of sites including Nine News, Wide World of Sports and 9Honey.

## History

The venture was established in 1997, with a combined investment of $50 million, which brought together all the online assets of Microsoft and all the media assets of PBL, which include the Nine Network, Australian Consolidated Press and other PBL assets.
In December 2005, Ninemsn acquired Australian content syndication and mobile publishing leader HWW, that syndicated television, movie, music, restaurant and gig guide listings.
In 2006, Ninemsn purchased 5th Finger Pty Ltd, a leading Australian SMS and mobile marketing service provider.
Ninemsn introduced a new logo and a major redesign in mid-2011, allowing users to customise the site to their own preference.
Microsoft sold its 50% stake of Mi9 to Nine Entertainment in 2013, whereby Mi9 was rebranded to Nine Digital. As part of the arrangement, Microsoft signed a long-term strategic partnership agreement, whereby Mi9 will continue to represent Microsoft's suite of advertising products.
Ninemsn introduced a new look homepage in late 2014. Following the rebranding of its television assets in November 2015, Nine Entertainment rebranded Ninemsn to Nine.com.au on 28 June 2016. Ninemsn's sub-brand sites were also rebranded to incorporate the Nine brand as 9Coach, 9Elsewhere, 9Finance, 9TheFix, 9Homes, 9Honey, 9Kitchen, 9Lifestyle and 9Pickle respectively. However, in November 2016, all sub-brands apart from 9Finance and 9Pickle were reorganised under a revised 9Honey umbrella brand that aimed to target women; 9Style was launched to take the previous role of 9Honey while 9Lifestyle was closed. 9Mums was later launched in March 2017 as a family and parenting brand.
# Bengal, Minnesota

Bengal was an unincorporated community on the boundary of Itasca County and Saint Louis County, Minnesota, United States, located about three hours north of Minneapolis. Bengal was also previously known as Powers.
Founded on a line of the Great Northern Railway adjacent to Lake Bengal, Bengal was platted in 1914 and was a farming and mining community.

## Geography

The community was located immediately southwest of the city of Hibbing boundary line, and south of the city of Keewatin, near the intersection of Stuart Road and County Road 944. County Road 16 (CR 16) and State Highway 73 (MN 73) are both nearby.
The site of Bengal is approximately 100 miles (160 km) from Duluth.
The boundary line between Saint Louis and Itasca counties is in the vicinity. The community of Silica is also nearby.

## History

The area was originally a rail site known as Powers.
In 1914, Bengal was platted by Volney S. Jones and Carrie Jones, husband and wife residents of Duluth, Minnesota. The community was situated in Section 1 of Township 55, Range 22 of Itasca County, adjacent to St. Louis County. The filing occurred on July 10, 1914 and was approved by the St. Louis County commissioner on July 13. The land was surveyed by engineer and surveyor Burt Farrell.
Bengal was founded on the north side of Bengal Lake, with the townsite being divided into ten blocks. Bengal was connected to the Great Northern Railway, on the line connecting Swan River and Virginia, between Acropolis and Lynwood. By 1915, the Hartland Herald newspaper was calling Bengal a "town on the Great Northern Railway".
Bengal's founding was also announced in The Mining and Engineering Journal, where the town's prospects as a mining community were discussed: "New town of Bengal has just been platted in Sec. 1, 55-22, on line between St. Louis and Itasca Counties, 6 1/2 miles from Nashwauk. There are some iron prospects in [the] vicinity." The area was noted for both mining and farming, with the Minnesota Geological Survey stating in 1917, "There are also farming districts south of Grand Rapids, and a few farms are developed along the Great Northern Railway lines in the southeastern part of the county in the vicinity of Swan River, Goodland, Acropolis, and Bengal [...] vegetables form the principal crops, and amount to about 30 percent of the [crop] value."
Circa 1918, the Bengal School was one of 82 schools in the Itasca School District 1. Later, Bengal was moved to School District 9.
In March 1919, portions of west central St. Louis County were hit hard by influenza. Among the communities which were hardest hit were Lynwood and Bengal. According to the Glenville Progress, most of the victims of the disease were schoolchildren, a number of whom were seriously ill.
Bengal's population was 5 in 1920, and was 35 in 1940.
According to the Minnesota Department of Transportation, Bengal's population is estimated at 10.

# The Road to Omaha

The Road to Omaha is a novel by Robert Ludlum published in 1992. It is a sequel to his earlier book The Road to Gandolfo. Both are comedic thrillers concerning Army lawyer Sam Devereaux, who gets caught up in the schemes of General MacKenzie "The Hawk" Hawkins. The Hawk is seeking revenge after being unfairly drummed out of the United States Army at the start of the first book.
While the earlier novel was originally published under the pseudonym Michael Shepherd, The Road to Omaha was released under Ludlum's name.

## Plot introduction

Several years after the events of The Road to Gandolfo, the Hawk has discovered a long-forgotten treaty between the US government and a tribe of Native Americans. This treaty granted the tribe a vast area of land that has since become Omaha, Nebraska, and includes the home of the Strategic Air Command at Offutt Air Base. Posing as a member of the tribe, the Hawk plans to bring suit against the United States and force it to give the land to the tribe. To further this goal, he ropes Devereaux (now retired from the military) into representing the tribe in court.
