Mas (Provençal farmhouse)

A mas (Occitan: [ˈmas], Catalan: [ˈmas]) is a traditional farmhouse found in the Provence and Midi regions of France, as well as in Catalonia (Spain) where it is also named masia (in Catalan) or masía (in Spanish).

A mas was a largely self-sufficient economic unit, which could produce its own fruit, vegetables, grain, milk, meat and even silkworms. It was constructed of local stone, with the kitchen and room for animals on the ground floor, and bedrooms, storage places for food and often a room for raising silkworms on the upper floor. Not every farmhouse in Provence is a mas. A mas was distinct from the other traditional kind of house in Provence, the bastide, which was the home of a wealthy family.

The mas of Provence and Catalonia always faces to the south to offer protection against the mistral wind coming from the north. And because of the mistral, there are no windows facing north, while on all the other sides, windows are narrow to protect against the heat of summer and the cold of winter. A mas is almost always rectangular, with two sloping roofs. The mas found in the mountains and in the Camargue sometimes has a more complex shape.

Eugenius Warming

Johannes Eugenius Bülow Warming (3 November 1841 – 2 April 1924), known as Eugen Warming, was a Danish botanist and a main founding figure of the scientific discipline of ecology. Warming wrote the first textbook (1895) on plant ecology, taught the first university course in ecology and gave the concept its meaning and content. “If one individual can be singled out to be honoured as the founder of ecology, Warming should gain precedence”.

Warming wrote a number of textbooks on botany, plant geography and ecology, which were translated to several languages and were immensely influential at their time and later. Most important were Plantesamfund and Haandbog i den systematiske Botanik.

Early life and family life

Warming was born on the small Wadden Sea island of Mandø as the only child of Jens Warming (1797–1844), parish minister, and Anna Marie von Bülow af Plüskow (1801–1863). After the early death of his father, he moved with his mother to her brother in Vejle in eastern Jutland.

WARM-FM

WARM-FM is an American adult contemporary radio station based in York, Pennsylvania broadcasting at 103.3 MHz FM. It is owned and operated by Cumulus Media. WARM's studios and offices are located off of US 30 between York and Lancaster, PA. Listeners in the Philadelphia region may have interference with WPRB, Princeton, New Jersey, which shares the same frequency.

History

WARM 103.3 hit Central Pennsylvania radio dials on March 28, 1983. The station spent its first few years using the WSBA callsign of its predecessor. The WARM callsign was moved to the station in 1988, having previously been used by Atlanta's Warm 99, also owned by Susquehanna Broadcasting, the stations' former owner.

The station has always broadcast some type of adult contemporary format from the time of its inception. From 1983 up until the mid-2000s, the playlist resembled a hybrid of "Soft AC", "Mainstream AC", and "Oldies": heavily focused on 1970s and certain 1960s soft rock songs, but containing plenty of recent and current soft rock hits as well. This hybrid format proved to be extremely successful, as WARM was repeatedly ranked at the #1 spot in the York market for several years, into the early 2000s.
