| Josquin des Prez 'Qui habitat' |
 |
Josquin des Prez (c. 1450 to 1455 -- August
27, 1521), often referred to simply as
Josquin, was a Franco-Flemish composer of the
Renaissance. He is also known as Josquin
Desprez, a French rendering of Dutch "Josken
Van De Velde", diminutive of "Joseph Van De
Velde" ("of the fields"), and Latinized as
Josquinus Pratensis, alternatively Jodocus
Pratensis. He was the most famous European
composer between Guillaume Dufay and
Palestrina, and is usually considered to be
the central figure of the Franco-Flemish
School. Josquin is widely considered by music
scholars to be the first master of the high
Renaissance style of polyphonic vocal music
that was emerging during his lifetime.
QUI HABITAT
Psalmus 90, 1--8 (Vulgate)
90:1 Qui habitat in adjutorio Altissimi, in
protectione Dei cæli commorabitur. 2 Dicet
Domino: Susceptor meus es tu et refugium
meum; Deus meus, sperabo in eum. 3 Quoniam
ipse liberavit me de laqueo venantium, et a
verbo aspero. 4 Scapulis suis obumbrabit
tibi, et sub pennis ejus sperabis. 5 Scuto
circumdabit te veritas ejus: non timebis a
timore nocturno; 6 a sagitta volante in die,
a negotio perambulante in tenebris, ab
incursu, et dæmonio meridiano. 7 Cadent a
latere tuo mille, et decem millia a dextris
tuis; ad te autem non appropinquabit. 8
Verumtamen oculis tuis considerabis et
retributionem peccatorum videbis.
Psalm 91, 1--8 (King James Version)
91:1 He that dwelleth in the secret place of
the most High shall abide under the shadow of
the Almighty. 2 I will say of the Lord, He is
my refuge and my fortress: my God; in him
will I trust. 3 Surely he shall deliver thee
from the snare of the fowler, and from the
noisome pestilence. 4 He shall cover thee
with his feathers, and under his wings shalt
thou trust: his truth shall be thy shield and
buckler. 5 Thou shalt not be afraid for the
terror by night; nor for the arrow that
flieth by day; 6 Nor for the pestilence that
walketh in darkness; nor for the destruction
that wasteth at noonday. 7 A thousand shall
fall at thy side, and ten thousand at thy
right hand; but it shall not come nigh thee.
8 Only with thine eyes shalt thou behold and
see the reward of the wicked.

| Habitat Fragmentation |
 |
As the population is rapidly increasing,
human influence on ecology is becoming more
and more destructive. Through habitat
fragmentation, humans have increased the risk
of starvation, or even death of a species.
Habitat fragmentation, the seperation of a
landscape into various land uses, leaves
small habitat patches leftover for use by
wildlife. However these small patches do not
provide adequate food or resources for
survival. Humans are putting a detrimental
impact on ecology through agriculture,
urbanization, deforestation, transportational
development and even reactional activities.
As the human population expands, more and
more space is needed. However, as we
manipulate the environment to feed our needs,
we are putting the lives of other species at
risk.
