KTXH (channel 20), branded on-air as My 20 Vision, is a television station in Houston, Texas, United States, airing programming from MyNetworkTV. It is owned and operated by Fox Television Stations alongside Fox outlet KRIV (channel 26). Both stations share studios on Southwest Freeway in Houston, while KTXH's transmitter is located near Missouri City, Texas.

KTXH began broadcasting in November 1982 as Houston's third independent station. A month after going on air, its broadcast tower collapsed in a construction accident that killed five people. The station recovered and emerged as Houston's sports independent, beginning long associations with the Houston Astros and Houston Rockets that continued uninterrupted through the late 1990s and sporadically until the early 2010s. Not long after starting up, KTXH was sold twice in rapid succession for large amounts. However, when the independent station trade, advertising market, and regional economy cooled, it was sold again for less than half of its previous value. The Paramount Stations Group acquired KTXH and other stations in two parts between 1989 and 1991, bringing much-needed stability.

KTXH was one of several Paramount-owned stations to be charter outlets for the United Paramount Network (UPN) in 1995; in 2001, after UPN was acquired by CBS, Fox took possession of the station in a trade and merged its operations with KRIV. When UPN merged into The CW in 2006, bypassing all of Fox's UPN and independent stations in the process, the station became part of Fox's MyNetworkTV service. In 2021, the station became one of two ATSC 3.0 (NextGen TV) transmitters for the Houston area; its subchannels are now transmitted by other local stations on its behalf.

History

Construction, start-up, and tragedy
Interest in channel 20 in Houston began to emerge in 1976, as three groups filed applications for new television stations in light of the emerging technology of subscription television (STV). These were Channel 20 Houston, Inc., a group led by Robert S. Block of Milwaukee; Channel 20, Inc., headed by Sidney Shlenker; and CPI Subscription TV, subsidiary of cable television company Communications Properties, Inc. CPI exited the running, and a settlement application between the Block and Shlenker consortia, Channel 20, Inc., was granted the construction permit on May 19, 1980. It was the second joint settlement between Block and Shlenker for a Texas station; the Shlenker consortium, with Milt Grant as head of operations, had previously received the construction permit for KTXA in Fort Worth in March. That station began broadcasting in February 1981 as a hybrid operation, with commercial programming and ON TV, the STV service owned by Oak Industries. Oak was to own a majority stake in the local ON TV operation. Channel 20's launch was delayed due to holdups in determining the local structure of the ON TV franchise and a dispute involving the mineral rights under the new Senior Road Tower, a  mast in Fort Bend County that would be used to transmit KTXH and nine Houston FM radio stations.

KTXH began broadcasting on November 7, 1982, branding on-air as "20-Vision" and broadcasting from studios at 8950 Kirby Drive. By that time, though, Oak had frozen its plans into eventual cancellation, with Grant telling Ann Hodges of the Houston Chronicle that their operation had shut down completely. This was to the benefit of KTXH's ad-supported commercial offerings, giving it prime time hours to program (particularly with sports) and making reticent cable systems more willing to put the new station on their lineups. On opening night, the station showed the film The Deer Hunter, and five nights later, the station aired its first Houston Rockets basketball game; Shlenker was a 10 percent stakeholder in the NBA team. The 30 games the Rockets were slated to telecast in 1982–83 marked a record for the club. Shortly before signing on, the Houston Sports Association, owner of the Houston Astros baseball club, became a new 38-percent stockholder in KTXH, bringing with them television rights to the Astros.

In the first month on air, Houston's third independent station claimed eight percent of the viewing audience in the Houston metro, immediately moving into a tie for the lead, with its program lineup organized into thematic blocks.

KTXH was the first tenant to use the Senior Road Tower. A month later, work began to install the antenna that the FM radio stations would use on the mast. The first part was put into place on Monday, December 6. Despite winds, work proceeded the next morning, December 7. A failure in a clamping device on the hoisting mechanism caused a  section of antenna to fall off, severing a guy wire and leading to the tower's collapse. Five people, all tower workers employed by a New Jersey company, died. KTXH suffered a $1.5 million loss in equipment, including the transmitter, on which the falling mast collapsed. A man in the transmitter building saw the tower collapse and fled.

In the wake of the tower collapse, KTXH was out of service for a total of 61 days. While orders were placed for the reconstruction of the Senior Road Tower, where KTXH would return upon its completion in October 1983, and a new transmitter was on order the night of the accident, the station filed a $42 million lawsuit, alleging negligent construction and claiming a $7 million loss in equipment and advertising. Even while broadcasting from a temporary facility atop the Allied Bank Plaza, KTXH continued to post competitive numbers against KRIV.

An ownership revolving door
The pairing of KTXA and KTXH had proven to be successful and highly lucrative. Grant's aggressive programming and promotions strategy, plus a favorable climate for independent stations nationally, made the two stations highly profitable and attracted major bidders. Outlet Communications, the broadcasting division of The Outlet Company of Rhode Island, was one of several parties negotiating to buy KTXA and KTXH. However, negotiations fell through, and Grant instead sold the pair to the Gulf Broadcast Group for $158 million in May 1984. The sale was held up for several months at the FCC, which conditioned the purchase on Gulf divesting FM stations in both cities. The sale price was considered unprecedented given the short period of operation of the stations.

Gulf had scarcely owned the stations when it sold its entire stations group for $755 million to Taft Broadcasting in 1985. Taft doubled the size of the KTXH facility to include a second studio and more office space. Over the course of late 1985 and late 1986, Taft was fending off overtures from activist investor Robert Bass, who was amassing shares in the company. Meanwhile, in addition to a worsening regional economy, the independent television market nationally was softening; the two Texas stations were believed to be the weakest in the Taft chain, even as KTXH boasted the highest audience share of any independent station in a top-35 market built since 1981. On Rockets telecasts during this time, a 23-year-old Hannah Storm hosted pregame and postgame shows.

Taft put its broadcast group up for sale in August 1986 due to agitation by Bass, and while it asked $500 million for five independent stations, the winning bidder—TVX Broadcast Group—only paid $240 million, and Taft estimated its after-tax loss for the sale at $45 to $50 million.  TVX implemented budget cuts, laying off about 15 percent of the staff at the acquisitions, and renegotiated programming costs; KTXH's production unit was completely disbanded.

The Taft stations purchase left TVX highly leveraged and highly vulnerable. TVX's bankers, Salomon Brothers, provided the financing for the acquisition and in return held more than 60 percent of the company. The company was to pay Salomon Brothers $200 million on January 1, 1988, and missed the first payment deadline, having been unable to lure investors to its junk bonds even before Black Monday. While TVX recapitalized by the end of 1988, Salomon Brothers reached an agreement in principle in January 1989 for Paramount Pictures to acquire options to purchase the investment firm's majority stake. This deal was replaced in September with an outright purchase of 79 percent of TVX for $110 million.

Paramount ownership and UPN affiliation
In 1991, Paramount acquired the remainder of TVX. The deal gave Paramount a strategic entrance into the television stations market; three years later, Paramount merged with Viacom, and the following year, KTXH became one of the charter outlets of the United Paramount Network (UPN). In 1996, Viacom purchased a 50 percent ownership interest in UPN.

KTXH's relationship with the Rockets continued until the 1997–1998 season, when KHTV (channel 39) outbid channel 20 for the rights to the team's road games. The move was largely precipitated by what was believed to be a reluctance to commit to sports preemptions of UPN programming. KHTV, which became KHWB in 1999, cited its affiliation with The WB when it dropped the team after three years; after a disastrous start to the 2000–2001 season on new independent KTBU, plagued by low ratings and signal coverage issues in parts of the Houston metropolitan area, the Rockets moved their games back to KTXH, with some Houston Comets women's basketball telecasts appearing on the station. At the same time, the Astros—which aired 64 games in the 1997 campaign on channel 20—left for independent station KNWS-TV (channel 51), with KTXH's increasing obligations to UPN as a core factor. In both cases, ratings fell after the teams moved their games off of KTXH.

Sale to Fox; conversion to MyNetworkTV

In 2000, Viacom purchased CBS. On August 12 of that year, United Television—the United in UPN—sold its UPN stations to the Fox Television Stations subsidiary of News Corporation for $5.5 billion; the deal was finalized on July 31, 2001. As part of its acquisition of the Chris-Craft stations, Fox had purchased KBHK-TV in San Francisco, a city in which Fox did not own its affiliate—but there was a CBS owned-and-operated station. Similarly, Viacom now owned UPN stations in Houston (KTXH) and Washington, D.C. (WDCA), markets where it did not own the CBS affiliate but where there was a Fox owned-and-operated station. As a result, Fox traded KBHK-TV to Viacom in exchange for KTXH and WDCA, resulting in three new duopolies, including new Fox duopolies in Houston and Washington. The FCC approved the deal in August 2001 on the condition that Viacom sell one of its San Francisco radio stations. KTXH vacated the Kirby Drive facilities and consolidated with KRIV at its Southwest Freeway facility; the move led to some job losses. The Rockets departed KTXH in 2002 for a new agreement with KNWS-TV and KHWB.

On January 24, 2006, the Warner Bros. unit of Time Warner and CBS Corporation (which had been created as a result of the split of Viacom at the start of the year) announced that the two companies would shut down The WB and UPN and combine the networks' respective programming to create a new "fifth" network called The CW. In unveiling the merged network, while WB and UPN affiliates owned by WB minority stakeholder Tribune Broadcasting (including KHWB in Houston) and by CBS Television Stations were announced as charter outlets, none of the Fox-owned UPN stations—many of which were competitors to these stations—were chosen. The next month, News Corporation then announced the creation of its own secondary network, MyNetworkTV, to serve its own outgoing UPN stations as well as those that had not been selected for The CW.

Even past the MyNetworkTV switch, KTXH continued its association with local sports. In late 2007 and early 2008, the Rockets and Astros returned to KTXH with a reduced schedule of games, largely in a complementary role to Fox Sports Houston, the Fox-owned regional sports network. The Astros aired all of their games on Fox Sports Houston in 2011, which was to be their last season on the RSN as the two teams prepared to launch Comcast SportsNet Houston in 2012.

On September 24, 2018, KTXH adopted a new on-air branding as "My 20 Vision", paying homage to the station's "20 Vision" branding from the 1980s and 1990s.

Technical information
In 1999, KTXH began broadcasting a digital signal, which was not broadcast from the Senior Road tower but at a new, purpose-built mast in the same area. KTXH discontinued regular programming on its analog signal, over UHF channel 20, on June 12, 2009, as part of the federally mandated transition from analog to digital television; the station's digital signal continued on UHF channel 19, using virtual channel 20.

On December 7, 2021, KTXH became one of two ATSC 3.0 (NextGen TV) transmitters for the Houston area as part of a deployment involving 10 stations in the market.

Subchannels
The station's ATSC 1.0 subchannels are carried on the multiplexed signals of other Houston TV stations:

é um personagem fictício da série de videojogos Devil May Cry criada e publicada pela Capcom; introduzido no primeiro Devil May Cry em 2001 como um dos filhos híbridos do cavaleiro demónio Sparda e também chefe de nome . Como muitos personagens da série, seu nome foi inspirado em Virgílio do poema italiano Divina Comédia.

Vergil por ser híbrido possui poderes sobrenaturais. Ao contrário do seu irmão gémeo Dante, Vergil é mais sério em relação ao seu treino. A sua personalidade também é oposta à do irmão, com um comportamento calmo, frio e estoico, ao contrário de Dante que é mais arrogante e sempre em busca de emoção. Apareceu em quatro videojogos Devil May Cry como inimigo do seu irmão, assim como no romance e no manga inspirados na série.

Vergil em Devil May Cry 3 e Devil May Cry 5  tem a voz de Daniel Southworth; ja em Devil May Cry tem a voz de David de Lautour.

O personagem foi muito bem recebido por publicações de videojogos com muitos a elogiarem o seu papel e por ser um dos melhores chefes da série e também pela sua inclusão em Devil May Cry 3: Special Edition como um personagem jogável.

Características
Vergil é o irmão gémeo de Dante. Os dois são filhos do demónio Sparda e de Eva. Vergil é meio-demónio, o que lhe dá habilidades sobre humanas. Ao contrário do seu irmão, Vergil é mais sério em relação ao seu treino. A sua personalidade também é oposta à do irmão, com um comportamento calmo, frio e estoico ao contrário de Dante que é mais arrogante e sempre em busca de emoção. Porém, os dois adoram as lutas que por vezes têm um com o outro.

Em grande parte, Vergil parece idêntico a Dante no cabelo e nas características faciais. No entanto, Vergil geralmente tem o cabelo penteado para trás em vez de para baixo e escovado como Dante. Antes de ser transformado em Nelo Angelo, Vergil usava um longo casaco azul com três caudas e uma cobra como padrão no lado direito do casaco. Depois disso, usa uma armadura pesada que pulsa cores de acordo com a sua vitalidade. A armadura incluí um capacete humanoide com chifres salientes na testa e uma capa. No confronto final contra Dante, ele tirou o capacete para revelar um tom de pele branco doentio com veias azuis e olhos vermelhos, com o cabelo penteado para trás. A armadura de Nelo Angelo ganhou uma ligeira reformulação em Devil May Cry 3.

Ao contrário de Dante, Vergil está disposto a abraçar a sua herança demoníaca, e procura emular em si o poder e a personalidade do seu pai. Enquanto Dante procura proteger a humanidade dos demónios, Vergil quer mais poder demoníaco, independentemente das consequências para aqueles que o rodeiam. Ele valoriza o poder de Sparda, considerando que sem ele é impossível proteger qualquer coisa.

Em luta, a arma principal de Vergil é uma katana de nome Yamato, que herdou de Sparda. Vergil prefere espadas a armas de fogo, porque não as considera dignas de um "verdadeiro guerreiro".

Aparências

Videojogos Devil May Cry

Vergil aparece no primeiro jogo Devil May Cry como Nelo Angelo, um cavaleiro das trevas sob as ordens do Rei Demónio Mundus, que o controla psicologicamente para matar o seu irmão, Dante. Dante encontra Nelo Angelo três vezes. No último dos encontros, Nelo Angelo destapa a sua face para revelar que é Vergil. No fim, Nelo Angelo aparentemente explode, deixando para trás a sua metade do amuleto, que a sua mãe lhe deu e a Dante quando eram crianças.

Vergil tem um papel mais preponderante em Devil May Cry 3: Dante's Awakening onde é retratado como um homem adolescente que deseja ter o poder do seu pai, o demónio Sparda. Aliado a um homem de nome Arkham, Vergil procura ter o amuleto de Dante, a fim de abrir a porta entre o seu mundo e o mundo dos demónios. Vergil derrota Dante quando este se recusa a ajudar e fica com a sua parte do amuleto. Porém, quando Dante o desafia, Arkham trai Vergil para ficar com o poder de Sparda para si mesmo. Para parar Arkham, Vergil e Dante unem-se antes de terem um ultimo combate entre os dois. Quando Vergil é derrotado acaba por escolher ficar no Mundo Demoníaco para lutar lá com Mundus.<ref>Vergil: Am I... being defeated? Dante: What's wrong? Is that all you've got? Come on, get up! You can do better than that. Vergil: The portal to the human world is closing Dante, because the amulets have been separated. Dante: Let's finish this first. I have to stop you, even if that means killing you.Vergil: No one can have this Dante. It's mine. It belongs to a son of Sparda. Leave me and go, if you don't want to trap in the demon world. I'm staying. This place, was our father's home. (Devil May Cry 3) Capcom, 2005</ref> Na versão actualizada do jogo, Devil May Cry 3: Special Edition, Vergil é uma personagem jogável e pode participar nas missões de Dante.

Em Devil May Cry 4, A Ordem da Espada usa fragmentos de Nelo Angelo para conseguir criar o Alto e Bianco Angelos, demónios artificiais compostos por uma armadura alimentada por uma alma de um demónio ou de um humano.Devil May Cry, Nelo Angelo: "Since many of the greater devils appearing in literature used to be greater angels, it is not surprising that this black knight is called Nelo Angelo, the "black angel". It is said that he fights his enemy fairly and squarely, a rarity in a warrior from hell. If he is truly a practitioner of chivalry, why does he follow the dark power?" A espada de Vergil, a Yamato, é usada por Nero, um outro descendente de Sparda, restaurada quando o demónio que existe no interior de Nero acorda.

No reinicio que foi dado à série, em DmC: Devil May Cry, Vergil aparece como líder da Order e um hacker bem sucedido. Ele traz Dante de volta para sua casa de infância para revelar sua ligação que têm um com o outro e convence-lo a ajudar a destruir Mundus. Enquanto Vergil completa a sua parte do plano no mundo humano, Dante batalha através de Limbo, uma realidade paralela. Eventualmente, Vergil usa o poder da Yamato para fechar as Portas do Inferno, cortando assim a fonte do poder de Mundus. Depois de derrotarem Mundus, ele revela a sua verdadeira intenção: governar o mundo juntamente com Dante. Luta-se então contra Vergil como o ultimo chefe do jogo. Depois de derrotado, Vergil escapa por um portal. Vergil também é um personagem jogável em Vergil's Downfall, um conteúdo adicional de DmC: Devil May Cry. Nesta história secundária seguimos a busca de Vergil pelo poder até substituir Mundus como o novo Rei Demónio.

No trailer final de Devil May Cry 5 confirmou que estará no jogo.

Em Devil May Cry 3: Dante's Awakening (2005) e em Devil May Cry 5 (2019) o Vergil tem a voz de Daniel Southworth. Em DmC: Devil May Cry (2013) este tem a voz de David de Lautour. Nelo Angelo tem a voz de David Kelley em Devil May Cry. O Nelo Angelo tem a voz de David Kelley em Devil May Cry.

Outras aparências
Nos romances de Shinya Goikeda, Vergil aparece como um mercenário com o pseudónimo de Gilver, um homem alto coberto de gaze. Torna-se parceiro de Dante com ambos a caçar demónios; no entanto, no clímax da história, ele confronta Dante e sai derrotado do duelo, com Dante a aperceber-se nos momentos finais que Gilver era afinal o seu irmão. No segundo romance Vergil aparece como Nelo Angelo liderando uma revolução contra Mundus numa dimensão alternativa. A manga Devil May Cry 3 de Suguro Chayamachi, acontece um ano antes dos eventos do jogo com o mesmo nome, onde Arkham diz a Vergil uma maneira de entrar no mundo dos demónios, começando assim os seus planos. Vergil também é várias vezes mencionado no romance adaptado a partir de Devil May Cry 4; Dante lembra-se muitas vezes do irmão ao ver Nero, mas afirma que Vergil está morto. Também é o personagem principal da banda desenhada de Guillaume Dorison DmC: Devil May Cry: The Chronicles of Vergil, que segue a história de Vergil antes dos eventos do jogo.

Vergil também aparece como personagem jogável no videojogo de luta Ultimate Marvel vs. Capcom 3. Também é uma carta em SNK vs. Capcom: Card Fighter DS. O seu traje de Devil May Cry 3 está disponível no videojogo Sengoku Basara 4 da Capcom. A Square Enix, através da série Play-Arts Kai, lançou uma figura de Dante e outra de Vergil, baseadas em Devil May Cry 3.

Criação e conceito
O nome de Vergil foi retirado do poema Divina Comédia de Dante Alighieri. O nome Nelo Angelo é uma tradução errada de "Nero Angelo" ("Anjo Negro" em italiano). Este erro de soletração foi mantido por toda a série incluindo nos romances, porque Nelo Angelo tornou-se bastante popular. Enquanto o personagem foi desenhado por Daigo Ikeno para Devil May Cry 3, a sua forma em Devil Trigger (forma demoníaca) foi criada por Kazuma Kaneko.

Quando o personagem foi tornado jogavel em Devil May Cry 3: Special Edition a Capcom teve de retirar alguns dos seus movimentos devido à limitação de espaço. No entanto tentaram manter alguns que ele usa quando defronta Dante durante a sua campanha. A lista de movimentos foi feita para reflectir a sua personalidade calma que contrastava com o carácter arrogante de Dante. Ao fazerem as personagens, Vergil foi feito mais forte que Dante mas mais difícil de controlar à medida que o jogador aprende mais gestos. Vergil tornou-se um personagem popular dentro da equipe de produção do jogo. Hideaki Itsuno observou que também era popular nos Estados Unidos, porque vários personagens de filmes de Hollywood empunham katanas. Tal popularidade resultou que Itsuno discutisse as suas ideias com produtores para a criação de um jogo apenas focado em Vergil.

Vergil foi dublado em japonês pela primeira vez em Ultimate Marvel vs. Capcom 3. O actor, Hiroaki Hirata, foi o escolhido tanto pela equipa de Devil May Cry como pela de Ultimate Marvel vs. Capcom 3. O produtor de Ultimate Marvel vs. Capcom 3, Ryota Niitsuma, e Hiroyuki Kobayashi acharam que a voz do actor é adequada para Vergil. Similar a Devil May Cry 3: Special Edition, Vergil foi desenhado para se jogar como Dante, embora com algumas diferenças para fazer os dois personagens únicos.

Recepção

Vergil foi bem recebido e elogiado pelas publicações da especialidade. A sua estreia como Nelo Angelo mantém-se como um dos melhores chefes da série Devil May Cry com a GamesRadar e a PlayStation Universe a comentarem a sua perícia e o impacto que tem em Dante. O seu papel em Devil May Cry 3 teve comentários similares com a UGO Networks a inclui-lo na lista "Top 50 Hardest Boss Battles" (Os 50 Chefes Mais Difíceis), um artigo baseado na dificuldade requerida para o derrotar e na sua relação com Dante. A IGN listou-o como o melhor chefe da série Devil May Cry tendo em conta todas as suas aparições nos vários jogos. Em 2008, Jesse Schedeen da IGN comparou Vergil a Gray Fox da série Metal Gear como "dois guerreiros formidáveis do reino dos videojogos" em que ambos "conhecem os seus fins infelizes."

A inclusão de Vergil na versão actualizada de Devil May Cry 3'' como um personagem jogável foi também objecto de discussão. A PALGN apreciou como os movimentos de Vergil eram diferentes dos de Dante, tornando o jogo numa experiência diferente. Também foi notado que por ser mais poderoso que Dante, poderia fazer uma impressão positiva ou negativa no jogador devido à forma como baixa a dificuldade do jogo. Jeremy Dunhan da IGN também elogiou os movimentos únicos de Vergil, mas criticou o quão poderoso era, reduzindo o desafio nas lutas contra os chefes - um dos pontos fortes do jogo. A GameSpot considerou que jogar como Vergil não era tão interessante como com Dante, porque este começa com múltiplas habilidades, levando a uma falta de melhorias em todo o jogo. A GameSpot também lamentou que lutou contra os mesmos chefes tal como Dante mas não teve uma história da sua autoria. Vaughn Smith da Cheat Code Central viu a inclusão de Vergil como um dos pontos mais fortes das actualizações, também comentando sobre o quão diferente ele é de Dante. Embora partilhando a opinião dos outros críticos que jogar como Vergil torna o jogo mais fácil. A 1UP observou que ao jogar com ele sentia-se como um "durão", isto porque o personagem permanece em silêncio durante a maior parte do jogo.

Nostra Senyora de Monserrate és la Patrona del poble de Hormigueros, Puerto Rico. La seva festivitat se celebra el 8 de setembre.

Pertany al grup de les anomenades verges negres que tant es va estendre per l'Europa romànica i el significat de la qual ha donat lloc a múltiples estudis.

Origen i Miracles

Primer Miracle
Explica la llegenda que l'any 1590 un camperol porto-riqueny anomenat Giraldo González es trobava en el pujols que avui coneixem com a Hormigueros, recollint joncs per fer cistells. De sobte, li va sortir un toro salvatge que va escometre contra ell, aquest en veure que no podia grimpar a un arbre, ni fugir per estar al costat d'un precipici, ni defensar-se amb el seu matxet, es va encomanar a la Verge exclamant "Afavoreix-me benvolguda Senyora de Monserrate".

En l'acte la bèstia va doblegar genolls i va baixar el cap fins al terra sense fer mal a Giraldo. En el cel havia aparegut la Mare de Jesús que fent un gest amb la seva mà esquerra ordenava al toro que s'agenollés.

En agraïment al favor rebut, Giraldo González va construir en el topall d'aquest pujol una petita ermita de tova. Ja el Santuari començava a aixecar al cel quan esdevenir el segon miracle.

Segon Miracle
Giraldo González tenia una filla de vuit anys que es va perdre pel bosc que envoltava la santa muntanya. Quinze dies va durar la recerca, finalment van trobar a la nena en bon estat de salut, alegre i amb la seva roba neta, igual com el dia en què es va perdre. En preguntar-li com havia sobreviscut sense aliments, va dir que una dona li havia donat menjar tot aquell temps, afalagant-la i acariciant-la com fa una mare. D'aquí van entendre que aquesta dona era la Verge de Monserrate, de qui el seu pare era un gran devot.

Devoció a la Verge de Monserrate
La notícia dels miracles ocorreguts en aquella muntanya d'Hormigueros aviat van arribar els més remots racons de l'illa i des d'aquest moment, les peregrinacions arribaven contínuament. Durant més de 400 anys el culte a la verge no ha estat interromput. Al llarg d'aquestes centúries, dia i nit, han cremat i continuen cremant llums votives del poble portoriqueny que devot i agraït honra al seu Déu venerant a la seva Verge Mare.

Ermita, Santuari, Parròquia, Basílica
 1590: Giraldo González va construir a Hormigueros una petita ermita com a primer santuari per venerar a la Verge.
 En el 1720 el bisbe Fernando de Valvidia i Mendoza va declarar oficial i canònicament l'ermita d'Hormigueros com a Santuari Nacional de Puerto Rico.
 L'1 de juny de 1874 es va fundar la Parròquia de La Nostra Senyora de la Monserrate.
el 19 de maig de 1998 Joan Pau II la va elevar a Basílica.

Festes en honor de la Verge de Monserrate
Des dels miracles al , la devoció a la Verge de la Monserrate ha anat en augment. Cada 8 de setembre, pelegrins de tot Puerto Rico arriben fins a la Basílica per venerar a la Verge i celebrar la festa en el seu honor.

"Es podria dir, que la devoció a la Verge sota l'advocació de Monserrate és la més forta a Puerto Rico i aquí arriba gent de tots els pobles a celebrar aquest esdeveniment de fe".

Malpartida de Cáceres is a municipality in the province of Cáceres (Spain) with a population of 4368 inhabitants (population figures on 1 January 2004). The urban centre of Malpartida de Cáceres is situated 11 kilometres west from Cáceres city.

Natural environment
The Natural Monument of Los Barruecos is a protected natural area of about 319 hectares where stone and water constitute the landscape. The varied fauna of this place has the white stork (Ciconia ciconia) as its most significant animal because the population of storks, not only in the Natural Monument, but also in the rest of the municipal territory, is one of the biggest in Europe. In 1997 the Foundation EURONATUR declared Malpartida de Cáceres a "European Stork  Village". The village is an active member of the European Stork-Village Network.

Culture
The Museo Vostell Malpartida was founded in 1976 by the German artist Wolf Vostell. It is situated 3 kilometres from the urban centre in the Natural Monument of Los Barruecos. The buildings housing the museum were part of an industrial complex devoted to treat wool in the 18th and 19th centuries. The museum has a contemporary art collection of the Fluxus movement.

The Narbón Museum is in the town and exhibits a collection of paintings by Juan José Narbón.

Kenmount Road is a major road in St. John's, Newfoundland and Labrador.  It begins at the intersection of Freshwater Road and Thorburn Road, just east of the Columbus Drive overpass.  Originally passing through rural farmland, Kenmount Road is now a significant commercial area, with the Avalon Mall at its eastern end, followed by a series of car dealerships, restaurants, hotels, and other businesses.  At its western end, Kenmount Road intersects Topsail Road and the Trans-Canada Highway, and has been extended into the Town of Paradise, where it runs into another road, McNamara Drive.

O'Leary Industrial Park is located just north of Kenmount Road, with access via Pippy Place and Peet Street.  Further west, past the intersection with the Team Gushue Highway, lies the Kelsey Drive big-box retail area.  West of Kelsey Drive, the new Kenmount Terrace subdivision is currently under development. In the 2022 provincial budget it was announced that a school would be constructed in Kenmount Terrace, a first for the area.

The Trans-Canada Highway originally continued down Kenmount Road, prior to the construction of the Outer Ring Road in the 1990s, which diverted the highway onto a new alignment across the north of the city.

The overpass that carries Kenmount Road (originally the Trans-Canada Highway) over Topsail Road holds a special place in the province.  One of the first highway interchanges constructed in the province, it has come to represent the boundary between the St. John's urban region and the remainder of the island.  The phrase "beyond the overpass" is commonly used to refer collectively to all areas of Newfoundland that lie outside the boundaries of metro St. John's.

"Possibly Maybe" is a song by Björk, released as the fifth single from her second album Post (1995). It is a song with deep electronic tones and soft beats that reflects on potential love. Released in the United Kingdom as the fifth single from the album, it reached number 13 on the UK Singles Chart in November 1996.

There were three different single releases. This was the first Björk single to be released in three parts; two of these three parts are rarities in the music world in that their A-side is not the first track. The first CD came with a slipcase that could also house the other two. The song has been covered by numerous other artists.

Background
The song details different stages of a breakup. Björk has said it was "the first unhappy song I wrote… I felt ashamed writing a song that was not giving hope". The melancholic piece was dedicated to her broken relationship with Stéphane Sednaoui, who, curiously, also directed the video. Rumours have persisted that Björk recorded the song in the nude, although this has not been publicly commented on. Björk was sued by British electronic musician Scanner for the uncleared sample of telephones ringing (from his album Mass Observation) at the start of the track. The situation caused her record label, One Little Indian, to retire all current copies of Post in the shops, and release a new version of the album that included a version of "Possibly Maybe" without the sample. Later on, when the issue was solved, the single version of the song included the sample again, as it appears in the music video.

The B-side of single was "Vísur Vatnsenda-Rósu", taken from the 1994 album Chansons des mers froides by Hector Zazou. A short making-of was recorded as part of the album.

Critical reception
British magazine Music Week rated the song four out of five, adding that "this gorgeous ballad from Post is released with some diverse, and weird, mixes as a taster for the upcoming mixes album Telegram."

Music video

The accompanying music video for "Possibly Maybe" was directed by French artist Stéphane Sednaoui, for a song that is about his failed relationship with Björk. The singer and the director had previously worked together in the music video for "Big Time Sensuality". In the clip, she appears "as a goddess, floating out from a numinous light-streaked background." It shows Björk in a variety of different rooms in an apartment. She is primarily shown in a large, stylish bedroom with modern décor. These scenes are intercut with shots in ultra-violet lighting (which subsequently causes everything to appear in day-glo colours). She is also shown in three other rooms: submerged in the bathtub of a bathroom; an Asian-themed room; and a room full of stereo equipment. These scenes are intercut with an angelic image of her dressed all in white, floating out of a blue sky with the sun behind her. The majority of objects appearing in the video were Björk's own.

Sednaoui is known for having a particularly filmic technique for each of his clips; in "Possibly Maybe", the use of blacklighting "makes Björk glow sensuously and perversely". It was conceived in a theatrical way: nearly all of the scenes were filmed in the same space, which is transformed with changes in the mise en scène. The style of "Possibly Maybe"'s scenery and Björk's wardrobe reference East Asian imagery, and a Japanese traditional doll is featured as Björk's only accompaniment; as a silent witness, it is the object on which the protagonist casts reflections on her own identity.

Short interviews with both Stéphane and Björk discussing the video are included on the Stéphane Sednaoui Directors Label DVD. The music video was included along with all of Posts music videos on the 1998 video release Volumen, and its 2002 reissue Volumen Plus. They also appear on Greatest Hits – Volumen 1993–2003, a release that includes the videos featured on Volumen and Volumen Plus.

Live performances
The track was performed during the Post Tour, a performance of which can be found on the 1998 live DVD/VHS Live at Shepherds Bush Empire, a fan-club only concert held at the end of the tour.  To support the release of Post, the song was performed on the UK TV show Later... with Jools Holland on 17 June 1995 with slide guitarist BJ Cole. This performance was featured on Björk's 2003 DVD release Later. Björk also performed the track on TFI Friday on 1 November 1996 to promote the official single release. The track was also included on a 1996 ChildLine charity album release, whose cover-art featured a parody of the Post cover. In support of this album, Björk performed the song on Top of the Pops. Björk's then manager Netty Walker noted later that it "was the worst performance I've ever seen her do." A live performance recorded for US TV show Reverb in 2001 included a performance of "Possibly Maybe". The track has been performed on Björk's subsequent tours, the Homogenic Tour and the Vespertine World Tour, the latter version of which appears on the 2002 DVD release Live at Royal Opera House. After 2001, the song was not performed live until 2 March 2012 at the Roseland Ballroom in New York City during her Biophilia Tour, using only a hang drum and a Tesla coil.

Track listings
The release features remixes by Talvin Singh, Mark Bell from LFO, Dallas Austin, Trevor Morais (who was the drummer on the Post Tour), Photek and Plaid. The single was planned to coincide with Björk's tour dates in South America and South Africa in October 1996, although the South American concerts were cancelled only two shows in due to Björk suffering from laryngitis. Two live tracks ("Possibly Maybe" and "Hyperballad") recorded at Wembley Arena as part of a Top of the Pops show are included on CD3.

Nõo (Duits: Niggen of Nüggen) is een plaats in de Estlandse gemeente Nõo, provincie Tartumaa. De plaats heeft 1647 inwoners (2021) en heeft de status van vlek (Estisch: alevik). Nõo is de hoofdplaats van de gelijknamige gemeente.

De plaats ligt aan de beek Nõo (Estisch: Nõo oja) en aan de hoofdweg Põhimaantee 3. Nõo heeft een station aan de spoorlijn Tartu - Valga.

Geschiedenis
Nõo werd voor het eerst genoemd in 1319 onder de naam Nughen. In 1483, in de tijd van het Prinsbisdom Dorpat, werd Nõo genoemd als parochie. De kerk, gewijd aan Laurentius van Rome, (Estisch: Nõo Laurentiuse kirik) is vermoedelijk gebouwd in de jaren 1250-1260. Het houten torentje dateert van 1819. De dichter Martin Lipp stond tussen 1884 en 1923 als dominee in deze kerk.

In de 16e eeuw werd het landgoed van Nõo afgesplitst van dat van Unipiha. In 1759 werd het landgoed op zijn beurt gesplitst in Oud- en Nieuw-Nüggen (Alt- en Neu-Nüggen). De gebouwen die bij deze landgoederen hoorden zijn in de Tweede Wereldoorlog vernield. In 1977 werden Oud- en Nieuw-Nõo weer één plaats met de status van vlek.

In 1873 kreeg Nõo ook een orthodoxe kerk, de Kerk van de Heilige Geest (Estisch: Püha Kolmainu kirik). Ze behoort tot de Estische Apostolisch-Orthodoxe Kerk.

In 1688 was al een parochieschool actief in Nõo, die later de dorpsschool werd. De componist Eduard Tubin (1905–1982) werkte tussen 1926 en 1930 als leraar op deze dorpsschool. In 1963 werd naast een basisschool ook een middelbare school opgezet; deze heet nu Nõo Reaalgümnaasium. In 1965 kreeg deze school een computercentrum. De Oeral-1 die hier werd geplaatst, was de eerste schoolcomputer in de Sovjet-Unie. In de jaren 1990-1998 konden leerlingen zelfs een opleiding tot piloot volgen.

Birdman (Original Motion Picture Soundtrack) is the soundtrack for the 2014 film Birdman. It includes solo jazz percussion throughout the film and extended segments of classical music taken from various composers including Mahler, Ravel, Rachmaninov, and John Adams. Several jazz compositions by Victor Hernández Stumpfhauser and Joan Valent also offset the original music composition by Antonio Sánchez. The soundtrack was released as a CD (77 min) on October 14, 2014, and as an LP (69 min) on April 7, 2015. It won the Grammy Award for Best Score Soundtrack for Visual Media.

Development
The film's original music segments consist of solo jazz percussion performances alongside a number of well known classical music pieces. With Mahler and Tchaikovsky among others, most of the composers featured are part of the standard classical repertoire, but Iñárritu did not regard the choice of pieces as important, saying "I think all those classical pieces are, in a way, great, but honestly if I would have put (in) another good classical piece it would be the same film". Nonetheless, the choice of classical music pieces was strongly oriented to highly melodic scores taken predominantly from the 19th and 20th century classical repertoire (Mahler, Tchaikovsky, Rachmaninov, Ravel). Iñárritu stated that the classical components come from the world of the play, citing the radio in Riggan's room and the show itself as two sources of the music. The drum sections comprise the majority of the score however, and were composed by Antonio Sánchez. Iñárritu explained the choice by saying they helped to structure scenes, and that "The drums, for me, was a great way to find the rhythm of the film... In comedy, rhythm is king, and not having the tools of editing to determine time and space, I knew I needed something to help me find the internal rhythm of the film." He also wanted a score that "wouldn't cater to an audience's expectations", which the drums, being more abstract, provided. The official soundtrack was released on October 14, 2014.

Iñárritu contacted friend and jazz drummer Antonio Sánchez in January 2013, inviting him to compose the score for the film. His reaction to writing a soundtrack using only drums was similar to Lubezki's thoughts of shooting the movie like a single shot: "It was a scary proposition because I had no point of reference of how to achieve this. There's no other movie I know that has a score like this." Sánchez had also not worked on a film before, nevertheless, after receiving the script, composed "rhythmic themes" for each of the characters. Iñárritu was looking for the opposite approach however, preferring spontaneity and improvisation. Sánchez then waited until production moved to New York before composing more, where he visited the set for a couple of days to get a better idea of the film.<ref name="HF">{{cite web|title=How Alejandro G. Iñárritu 'directed' drummer Antonio Sanchez's Birdman''' score |last=Patches |first=Matt |date=November 4, 2014 |publisher=HitFix |url=http://www.hitfix.com/in-contention/how-alejandro-inarritu-directed-drummer-antonio-sanchezs-birdman-score/single-page |access-date=February 4, 2015 |archiveurl=https://web.archive.org/web/20150221062633/http://www.hitfix.com/in-contention/how-alejandro-inarritu-directed-drummer-antonio-sanchezs-birdman-score/single-page |archive-date=February 21, 2015 |url-status=live}}</ref> Following this, a week before principal photography, he and Iñárritu went to a studio to record some demos. During these sessions the director would first talk him through the scene, then while Sánchez was improvising guide him by raising his hand to indicate an event such as a character opening a door or by describing the rhythm with verbal sounds. They recorded around seventy demos, which Iñárritu used to inform the pacing of the scenes on set, and once filming was complete, spliced them into the rough cut. Sánchez summarized the process by saying "The movie fed on the drums and the drums fed on the imagery."

His next work on Birdman was in September, where he traveled to Los Angeles to re-record the soundtrack. By this stage the film was assembled, so during the two days of recording Sánchez would watch a scene to see what Iñárritu had done with the demos, then redo the track. This was a new experience for Sánchez who until this point, had guided his improvisations in response to "the sound and energy" around him. Here, he was using a scene to guide him, and said the biggest challenge of the soundtrack was "adapting what I do to a moving image, a story line, and dialogue." As in New York, Iñárritu supervised these recordings, but this time would give specific directions. For example, instructing Sánchez to stop or start when Riggan uttered certain words. Iñárritu also shaped the overall feel of the soundtrack. He wanted it to grow crazier throughout the film, so for the end tracks Sánchez would overdub up to four drum tracks on top of each other. Additionally, Iñárritu was not satisfied with the quality of the sound from the previous recordings: it was too good. Instead, he wanted an instrument that sounded like it had not been played in years, to tie in with state of the theatre in the film. To achieve this, Sánchez adjusted his setup; detuning the drums and stacking different kinds of cymbals on top of one another were among the techniques he used. Amusingly, this process was included in the film the first sound in Birdman is in fact Sánchez asking Iñárritu a question in Spanish, followed by his detuning of the drums.

In between the two studio recordings, Sánchez was touring with the Pat Metheny Group.. Iñárritu wanted to include a drummer in the film from the beginning, saying "I wanted [Sánchez] to become a character in his own film, and have the play become a play of a play." The drummer recommended his friend Nate Smith, but did not decide on the music to play beforehand, resulting in Smith improvising during the shoots. This meant Sánchez had to learn and match him exactly during the recordings in Los Angeles, noting "Alejandro was very specific and he would watch the clip over and over again to make sure that you could not tell that it was not him that was actually producing the sound. Never in my life have I had to do that." The process was not aided by a different method of recording for the scene outside of St. James Theatre featuring Smith. The drums were moved out onto the street, and people carrying mics a block away would walk towards and past Sánchez as he was playing, to coordinate the sound and image of the film without the need for post-production effects.

Best Original Score disqualification
The Academy of Motion Picture Arts and Sciences did not include Birdman on its longlist for the Academy Award for Best Original Score. Sánchez had received a note from the award committee a day earlier explaining the decision, quoting rule fifteen of the 87th Academy Award Rules and writing they felt "the fact that the film also contains over a half an hour of non-original (mostly classical) music cues that are featured very prominently in numerous pivotal moments in the film made it difficult for the committee to accept your submission". Sánchez decided to launch an appeal, and along with Iñárritu and the executive vice-president of Fox Music, sent letters to the chair of the Academy's music branch executive committee, Charles Fox, asking that the committee reconsider their decision. One of the points raised was that the committee had incorrectly calculated the ratio of classical to original music, which after being clarified Sánchez thought he was "on really solid ground". A response from Fox on December 19 however, explained that a special meeting of the music committee was held, and although its members had "great respect" for the score and considered it "superb", they thought that the classical music "was also used as scoring", "equally contributes to the effectiveness of the film", and that the musical identity of the film was created by both the drums and classical music. Ultimately, they did not overturn their decision. Sánchez said that he and Iñárritu were not satisfied with the explanation, and that "to not be able to even participate, to not be on the list, that's what's so disappointing".

Soundtrack
Below, per the Academy Awards committee, is the list of classical music used in the film as well as several jazz pieces by composers other than Antonio Sánchez. The Academy Awards committee disqualified the film from competing for the Best Original Soundtrack award. The actual ASCAP version of the released CD soundtrack grouped the solo jazz percussion pieces at the start of the disc followed by four or five of the classical music selections grouped together at the end of the soundtrack disc.

Heřman Josef Tyl OPraem (* 31. Juli 1914 in Cakov na Hané, Bezirk Olmütz; † 10. Dezember 1993 in Mariánské Lázně) war ein tschechischer römisch-katholischer Ordenspriester und von 1989 bis 1992 Abt des Stiftes Tepl. Als politischer Häftling wurde Tyl während des NS-Regimes in Konzentrationslager interniert, später durch das Regime der KP der Tschechoslowakei inhaftiert.

Leben
Tyl wurde als Sohn einer Bauernfamilie geboren. Nach seinem Abitur, das er in Prešov abgeschlossenen hatte, trat er 1936 in die Prämonstratenserabtei Nová Říše ein. Sein Ordensnamen erinnert an Hermann Joseph von Steinfeld. Im Anschluss an seine Priesterweihe wirkte Tyl ab 1940 als Seelsorger in der Pfarre Brno-Židenice. 1941 beendete er das Theologiestudium und wurde zum Novizenmeister von Nová Říše ernannt, um bei der Einführung und Ausbildung der Ordensanwärter mitzuwirken. Tyl wurde zusammen mit sieben weiteren Prämonstratensern am 29. Mai 1942 von der Geheimen Staatspolizei verhaftet, in das Konzentrationslager Auschwitz und Buchenwald deportiert, wo er von Soldaten der  Streitkräfte der Vereinigten Staaten befreit wurde, um anschließend bei der Versorgung Kranker zu helfen. Jedoch erkrankte Tyl selbst an Typhus, sodass er in der Pariser Pasteur-Klinik  behandelt werden musste.

Nachdem Tyl im August 1945 in seine Heimat zurückgekehrt war, wurde er zum Administrator seines Heimatklosters Nová Říše ernannt. Im Januar 1946 übertrug Tyl seine Profess auf das Stift Tepl. Hier versuchte er die klösterlichen Betriebe wiederherzustellen, um die wirtschaftliche Not der unmittelbaren Nachkriegszeit entgegenzuwirken. Während dieser Zeit schrieb Tyl seine Veröffentlichungen über die Klöster in Nová Říše und Tepl. Neben den ökonomischen Interessen galt Tyls Augenmerk auch den seelsorglichen Belangen des Stiftes. Er initiierte die Hroznat-Pilgerfahrt, die von ehemaligen politischen Gefangenen begangen wird und noch heute jährlich in Tepl stattfindet. 1950 wurde Tyl durch das Regime der KP der Tschechoslowakei verhaftet und 1951 in einem Schauprozess zu 12 Jahren Gefängnis wegen Hochverrats verurteilt. Als politischer Häftling wurde Tyl auch im "tschechoslowakischen Gulag" von Jáchymov interniert, wo er Zwangsarbeit leisten musste.

Nach der Strafaussetzung zur Bewährung im Jahr 1958 arbeitete Tyl als Geistlicher ohne staatliche Genehmigung in der Kollektivfarm seiner Heimatstadt Cakov. 1961 wurde er freigesprochen, seine Rechte wiederhergestellt, sodass er sich ab 1964 wieder seinen priesterlichen Verpflichtungen widmen konnte. Zunächst bekleidete er das Seelsorgsamt von Bohuslavice bei Konice na Hané, später wirkte er als Dekan in Mariánské Lázně (Marienbad). Am Tag seines 60. Geburtstages wurde er durch den Entzug der staatlichen Genehmigung vorzeitig in den Ruhestand geschickt. Tyl durfte zwar in der Pfarrei in Bítov bei Znojmo bleiben, ihm blieb jedoch das Recht verwehrt, weiter als Seelsorger in Erscheinung zu treten. Erst 1987 erhielt er wieder die Erlaubnis für öffentliche pastorale Aktivitäten, die er in seiner neuen Pfarre Slatinice bei Olomouc ausübte.

Im Vorfeld der Samtenen Revolution wurde Tyl am 19. September 1989 vom Konvent des Stiftes Tepl zum Abt gewählt. 1991 erfolgte seine staatliche Rehabilitierung. 1992 musste er aus gesundheitlichen Gründen von seinem Abbatiat resignieren. Tyl starb am 10. Dezember 1993 in Mariánské Lázně. Er ist auf dem Klosterfriedhof in Stift Tepl begraben.

1996 verkörperte der tschechische Schauspieler Stanislav Zindulka Heřman Josef Tyl im preisgekrönten tschechischen Historiendrama "Boomerang".

Védfalu (1899-ig Vidernik, , ) község Szlovákiában, az Eperjesi kerületben, a Poprádi járásban.

Fekvése
Poprádtól 12 km-re délkeletre, a Hernád mellett fekszik.

Története
1294-ben "Wydernik" néven említik először. Neve a szláv vydrnik (= vidra) főnévből származik. 1326-ban "Wedrenick" néven említik. Kezdetben a savniki ciszterci apátság birtoka volt. 1530 és 1696 között Lőcse városának zálogbirtoka. 1787-ben 32 házában 221 lakos élt.

A 18. század végén Vályi András így ír róla: "VIDERNIK. Vidrig. Tót falu Szepes Várm. földes Ura a' Szepesi Püspökség, lakosai katolikusok, fekszik Skavnikhoz nem meszsze; határja néhol sovány."

1828-ban 37 háza és 279 lakosa volt. Lakói főként mezőgazdasággal foglalkoztak. 1840-ben ásványvízforrásain fürdőt létesítettek.

Fényes Elek 1851-ben kiadott geográfiai szótárában így ír a faluról: "Vidernik, Szepes v. tót f. ut. p. Horkához 1/2 órányira. 279 r. kath., paroch. templommal. F. u. a szepesi püspök."

1868-ban itt kelt 21 szepesi falu petíciója a magyar nemzetgyűlésnek. A faluban fűrészüzem működött. A trianoni diktátumig Szepes vármegye Iglói járásához tartozott.

Lakói közül sokan Szvit és Poprád ipari üzemeiben dolgoznak.

Népessége
1910-ben 371, többségben szlovák lakosa volt, jelentős cigány kisebbséggel.

2001-ben 897 lakosából 867 szlovák volt.

2011-ben 1088 lakosából 979 szlovák és 96 cigány.

Nevezetességei
Szent Simon és Júdás apostolok tiszteletére szentelt klasszicista, római katolikus temploma 1799 és 1801 között épült a korábbi, 13. századból származó gótikus templom helyén. Egy 18. századi kelyhet őriz.

Honoré-Dominique d'Astier (Urbé, 1750 - Zittert-Lummen, 8 oktober 1824) was een Frans-Zuid-Nederlands officier.

Levensloop
Honoré d'Astier, baron van Zittert-Lummen (titel in 1778 geërfd van zijn oom, graaf Bruno d'Albon), heer van Usserre (geërfd van zijn vader), was een zoon van Alexis d'Astier of Dastier, heer van Usserre en van Marie-Agathe Le Forestier de Villeneuve. Een andere zoon was Denis-Bruno d'Astier.

Honoré werd militair (waarschijnlijk zoals zijn vader) bij de Franse dragonders van het regiment van Chartres en behoorde tot de lijfwachten van koning Lodewijk XV. Hij nam ontslag in 1783 en kwam zich in de Zuidelijke Nederlanden vestigen om te genieten van de geërfde heerlijkheid Zittert-Lummen. Hij meldde zich bij de Heraldische Kamer van de Oostenrijkse Nederlanden aan als graaf en die titel werd door de kamer aanvaard.

In de Franse tijd werd hij lid van de algemene raad van het Dijledepartement. Hij werd ook benoemd tot Ridder in het Legioen van Eer.

Hij trouwde in 1780 met Louise de Waha de Linter (1754-1829). Ze kregen drie dochters en een zoon, Henri d'Astier (1785-1828), officier in het Franse leger, burgemeester van Zepperen bij Sint-Truiden, die trouwde met Marie-Christine Pitteurs-Hiegaerts. Hij bekommerde zich niet om de bevestiging van zijn adellijke status, maar ondertekende dan toch als graaf d'Astier de Lumay. Hij had een enige dochter, die de laatste naamdrager van deze familietak was.

In 1816 werd Honoré erkend in de erfelijke adel met de titel graaf, overdraagbaar op al zijn nakomelingen. Hij werd tevens benoemd tot lid van de ridderschap voor Zuid-Brabant. Hij werd ook burgemeester van Zittert-Lummen.

De beschermde Kapel van Bijstand uit 1718, gelegen op de grens van Lummen en Outgaarden, eigendom van de graven de Limburg-Stirum, erfgenamen van de d'Astiers en lange tijd ook burgemeesters van Zittert-Lummen, bevat graven van de familie d'Astier. Een onder hen sneuvelde op 21-jarige leeftijd bij de Slag van Waterloo (1815).

Auļi is a Latvian folk/world music band formed in 2003. The band consists of 6 bagpipers, 3 drummers and 1 electric cello player.

History
In 2005, Auļi released their 12-track debut album Sendzirdēju. In 2010, the band released their third studio album titled Etnotranss (Ethno trance), a term they created to describe their music. The album features Andris Grunte on double bass.

On May 4, 2013, Auļi performed a 10-year anniversary concert at Palladium Riga. The same month the band released a best of album Dižducis with 12 of their previously released compositions, re-arranged by multi-instrumentalist Kārlis Auzāns and joined by Juris Kaukulis from Dzelzs Vilks, folk singer Zane Šmite, Madagascarian musician Kilema (vocals and valiha) and other guest musicians.

In 2016, Auļi released their fifth studio album Gadalokos with compositions about the Latvian seasons (Sala laiks, Sērsnu laiks, Pavasara laiks, Ziedu laiks, Siena laiks, Rudens laiks, Veļu laiks and Ledus laiks) and celebrations (Meteņi, Lieldienas, Ūsiņi, Jāņi, Māras, Apjumības, Mārtiņi, Ziemassvētki and Pieguļa). The album was inspired by a calendar pendant found in an 1999–2000 archaeological excavation in Tukums.

In 2017, Auļi together with Tautumeitas released a 13-track album Lai māsiņa rotājās! dedicated to engagements and weddings. The album received Annual Latvian Music Recording Award as the Best Folk music album of 2017. Lai māsiņa rotājās! also reached position No. 26 in the 2018 World Music Charts Europe, as well as No. 38 in the April 2018 and May 2018 Transglobal World Music Chart.

In 2019, Auļi released a 12 song album Senĉu Balsis: Voices of the Ancestors featuring four guest musicians (Batzorig Vaanchig, Albin Paulus, Kai Somby, and Edgars Lipors) each representing a distinctive singing style (Tuvan throat singing, yodeling, joiking, and traditional Latvian singing). Two months after the release of the studio album Auļi released a live concert recording of this album called Voices of the Ancestors (Live at GORS, Rēzekne, 2019).

In 2020, Auļi released a COVID-19 inspired remote performance single alongside many other drummers and bagpipe players called Alšvangas dūdu meldiņš. This performance was released 10 May 2020 amidst the COVID-19 pandemic.

In 2021, Auļi released a 12-composition instrumental album Visapkārt ("Immersive") using Dolby Atmos surround sound technology.

È uno dei più forti arrampicatori austriaci degli anni '70 e '80. Ancora molto giovane diventa conosciuto per una serie di solitarie sulle montagne austriache e nelle Dolomiti, in seguito con vie aperte in un nuovo stile minimalista, tra cui spiccano Abrakadabra e Tempi Moderni sulla Marmolada. Negli anni '80 diventa uno dei protagonisti dell'evoluzione del free climbing in falesia.

Biografia
Mariacher nasce a Wörgl, il 4.10.1955, nel Tirolo Austriaco, fra le montagne del Kaisergebirge e del Rofan, dove scopre l'arrampicata già da ragazzino. A 11 anni fa la sua prima solitaria, una via di quinto grado senza alcuna attrezzatura. Più avanti, ispirato soprattutto dal suo connazionale Hias Rebitsch, si dedica seriamente all'arrampicata e negli anni '70 si fa notare con solitarie delle vie più difficili del momento, nel Kaisergebirge e nelle Dolomiti, tra cui la Rebitsch sul Fleischbankpfeiler e la Schmuck sulla Fleischbank (1973), la Cassin, Comici, Egger sulle Tre Cime (1974), la Lacedelli sulla Cima Scotoni (1974) e la Vinatzer (1975) sulla Marmolada.

Nel 1977 apre con Peter Brandstätter la via "Charlie Chaplin" sulla nord della Lalidererspitze nel Karwendel, che diventa una pietra miliare nell'evoluzione dell'arrampicata libera in montagna. Seguono numerose vie nuove sulla Marmolada che fanno storia per lo stile di apertura, come la Don Quixote, Vogelwild, Abrakadabra e Tempi Moderni. Già dai primi anni Mariacher si dissocia dall'alpinismo tradizionale e dimostra uno spirito diverso: l'arrampicata come ricerca personale e lontana da concetti e cliché del comune sistema di valori, come per esempio l'idea della "conquista". La ripetizione free solo e a vista della Conforto/Bertoldi (Marmolada) nel 1979 esprime questa nuova mentalità di spirito libero che segue l'ispirazione del momento. Anche la solitaria della Don Quixote in 1 ora e 20 minuti succede per caso durante una camminata sotto la parete. Scopre e pratica i valori del free climbing in montagna molto prima che l'arrampicata sportiva diventi una moda. Già negli anni '70 segue il principio che l'apertura di vie nuove deve limitarsi esclusivamente all'arrampicata libera e rinuncia categoricamente all'artificiale come mezzo di progressione.

Durante gli anni iniziali i suoi compagni più frequenti sono gli austriaci Reinhard Schiestl, Luggi Rieser (Darshano), Egon Wurm, Peter Brandstätter e Hans Hölzl. Dal 1978 in poi arrampica quasi esclusivamente con Luisa Iovane, che diventa la sua compagna di vita.

Nei primi anni '80 Mariacher diventa un pioniere del freeclimbing in falesia. Assieme a Roberto Bassi, Manolo, Luisa Iovane scopre le prime falesie nella Valle del Sarca. Più avanti sviluppa anche diverse falesie nelle Dolomiti, di frequente con Bruno Pederiva. La più conosciuta diventa la Valle di San Nicolò.

Nel 1986 libera le prime vie di 8a di Lumignano (Atomic caffè, El Somaro) e poi in Valle di S. Nicolò la famosa "Kendo", 8b+, che risulta una delle vie più dure del momento. Sempre nel 1986 apre la via "Tempi Modernissimi" 7c+, 300 metri, sul Sass da le Undes.

Nel 1987 è fra i primi a ripetere alcune delle vie più difficili di allora negli USA, "Rude Boys", 5.13c e "Monkeyface", 5.13d.

Nel 1987 fa, in cordata con Bruno Pederiva, la prima salita Rotpunkt della "Via del Pesce" 7b, 900 metri, sulla Marmolada.

Mariacher ha anche dato un contributo importante all'evoluzione delle scarpette d'arrampicata, dal famoso modello "Mariacher" nel 1982 fino alle ultime creazioni con il marchio Scarpa (stato del 2015). Come creatore di film di arrampicata ha ottenuto diversi premi, il più prestigioso al Mountain film festival di Banff per "Ritorno al Silenzio" (girato nelle Dolomiti) come migliore film di arrampicata nel 1993.
