	Septentrional - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
		Septentrional is a rarely used word that means "of the north".
		The term septentrional, actually the adjectival form of the noun septentrion, itself refers to the seven stars of the Big Dipper asterism (aka "Septentrion").
		"Septentrional" is a more or less interchangeable term with "boreal." Ursa Major, the constellation containing the Big Dipper or Plough, dominates the skies of the North.

		Septentrional hopes that its new album will be well received by their fans and the general public, which have been eagerly awaiting its release.
		Septentrional is more than a band; it is a tradition of Compas Boule de Feu to be passed on for generations to come.

	Dominican Republic - GEOGRAPHY
		The northern region, bordering the Atlantic Ocean, consists of the Atlantic coastal plain, the Cordillera Septentrional (or Northern Mountain Range), the Valle del Cibao (Cibao Valley), and the Samaná Peninsula.
		The Atlantic coastal plain is a narrow strip that extends from the northwestern coast at Monte Cristi to Nagua, northwest of the Samaná Peninsula.
		The Samaná Peninsula is an eastward extension of the northern region, separated from the Cordillera Septentrional by an area of swampy lowlands.

	BSSA, Volume 93:1
		Several generations of sand blows and sand dikes, indicative of significant and recurrent liquefaction, are preserved in the late Holocene alluvial deposits of the Cibao Valley in northern Dominican Republic.
		The Cibao Valley is structurally controlled by the Septentrional fault, an onshore section of the North American–Caribbean strike-slip plate boundary.
		The Septentrional fault was previously studied in the central part of the valley, where it sinistrally offsets Holocene terrace risers and soil horizons.

		This transform boundary continues west of Puerto Rico and is exposed on the island of Hispaniola as the Septentrional fault.
		The Septentrional fault is buried by Holocene alluvial deposits of the Rio Yuna and Rio Yaque in the eastern and western parts of the Cibao valley, respectively, making direct study of the fault trace difficult.
		The Septentrional fault zone (SFZ) is the major strike-slip fault separating the North America and Caribbean plates in northern Hispaniola.

		Although we got a taste of the youthful element that night (that respectfully also holds on to the traditional strengths of the orchestra's songbook), the new recording session promises to offer some surprises that will push the big band into a new direction for the decades to come.
		Septentrional was formed in Cap Hatien on July 27, 1948, from two small groups, the "Quatuor Septentrional" and the "Trio Symphonia".
		A prolific composer, Maetro Hultric's contributions to the Septentrional repertoire are innumerable, covering various rhythms including Bolero to Calypso, Meringue, Congos, Romance-Afros, Ibo and Pachangas.

		Today, Septentrional navigates through Haiti's complex politics, deteriorating economy and a musical environment where only a few big band orchestras have outlived rap, ragga and today's slicker compas, as well as the invasion of U.S., French and Caribbean music.
		Puertoricans, Jamaicans, Americans all said: Septentrional -- We love you!” The 55th anniversary tour has not yet produced a new song, but it has produced hundreds of ecstatic dancers and listeners, thrilled their ”djaz” or ”jazz” -- as all Haitian musical groups are called -- has touched down on U.S. soil.
		Septentrional's tour, which runs through Dec. 22, takes the orchestra to Massachusetts, Connecticut, New York and Miami.

	The Mavens' Word of the Day
		The English words septentrion and septentrional, which mean 'northern', or (the former word only) 'the north', are derived from Latin, ultimately from septentriones 'the seven stars of Ursa Major', from septem 'seven' and trio, literally 'a plow-ox'.
		In English the Septentrion has also been used as a proper noun for the constellation Ursa Major, or the Big Dipper, which, being in the northern part of the sky, represents the north in general.
		Septentrion(al) is first recorded in English in the fourteenth century.

	The Dialects of Italian
		The Septentrional or Northern dialects in turn are divided into two main groups: the largest of these geographically is the Gallo-Italic group, encompassing the regions of Liguria, Piedmont, Lombardy, and Emilia-Romagna, as well as parts of Trentino-Alto Adige.
		It is named for the Gauls which once inhabited this part of Italy, and who, it seems, left traces of their Celtic speech in the modern dialects.
		The dialect of Milan, or Milanese, is classified as a Septentrional dialect, specifically in the Gallo-Italic sub-group.

		Gone are the sprawling and time-warping jam sessions of previous releases.

		My septentrional cousins were impressed by the tall stately palm that grows in our suburban Florida front yard.
		"Septem" is an ancestor of both "septentrional" and "September" (the ninth month now, but in the earliest Roman calendar, the seventh month).
		We picked up "septentrional" from "septentriones," a Latin word used to refer to the seven principal stars of either of two prominent constellations of the northern sky: Ursa Major (Latin for "Greater Bear") or Ursa Minor ("Lesser Bear")—also known as the Big Dipper and the Little Dipper, respectively.

	WHOI : Oceanus : Tsunamis in the Caribbean? It's Possible.
		CARIBBEAN QUAKE AND TSUNAMI RISKS—Woods Hole geologists Uri ten Brink and Jian Lin reported a heightened earthquake risk from the Septentrional fault zone, which cuts through the highly populated region of the Cibao valley in the Dominican Republic.
		The possibility of earthquakes of magnitude 7.5 and higher in the offshore Puerto Rico and Hispaniola trenches pose additional risk to the region.
		The two scientists studied historical earthquake data and the geology of the northern Caribbean plate boundary, and then used three-dimensional models to calculate the stress changes in and near the trenches after each earthquake.

	Windows on Haiti: Chronique Musicale
		When the so-called Mini-Jazz revolution took place in the 70s, eliminating the horn section, Orchestre Septentrional, Orchestre Tropicana, and Jazz des Jeunes were the only big bands which were not swept away by the guitar crazy new brand of young musicians.
		In the liner notes, Wildrid Tony Hyppolite, a «declared Expert on Septentrional», underlines the variety which characterizes the group's play which recorded a total of 303 songs on 41 discs.
		If you are a fan of Septentrional - and I know there are quite a few out there - you will probably add this CD to your collection, even though I find that this is not necessarily Septen's best album.

	Major Caribbean earthquakes and tsunamis a real risk
		The island of Hispaniola faces a double risk: an earthquake from the Septentrional fault on the island itself as the plates move past each other, and an earthquake deep in the earth in the subduction zone on which the island sits.
		Both could cause severe damage and loss of life, although the researchers say an earthquake in the subduction zone could be more devastating and has the potential to cause a tsunami.
		Since the fault is in a highly populated region and is capable of generating magnitude 7.7-7.9 earthquakes, the public should be educated about the risk of this earthquake prone area.

		Septentrional, Haiti's oldest big band orchestra, and its ”boule du feu” (ball of fire) rhythm -- born of the Haitian ”compas” merengue-influenced beat, Vodou ritual rhythms and Cuban flavour gleaned from radio shows -- never fails to bring Haitians to the dance floors.
		It even inspires followers around the country and worldwide to organise their vacations so they can attend the annual village festivals where their music reigns.

	Slip rate and earthquake recurrence along the central Septentrional fault, North American–Caribbean plate ...
		The Septentrional fault zone (SFZ) is the major North American-Caribbean, strike-slip, plate boundary fault at the longitude of eastern Hispaniola.
		Our investigations of excavations at sites near Rio Cenovi show that the most recent ground-rupturing earthquake along this fault in the north central Dominican Republic occurred between A.D. 1040 and A.D. 1230, and involved a minimum of ∼4 m of left-lateral slip and 2.3 m of normal dip slip at that site.
