Alexander Igorewitsch Grischtschuk

Alexander Igorewitsch Grischtschuk (, wiss. Transliteration ; man trifft oft die englische Form Grischuk; * 31. Oktober 1983 in Moskau) ist ein russischer Schachgroßmeister.
Werdegang
Grischtschuk stammt aus einer Intellektuellenfamilie, seine Eltern sind Physiker. Sein Schachtalent wurde in den 90er Jahren stark gefördert. 1992 nahm er an der Jugendweltmeisterschaft U10 in Duisburg teil, wo er Vizeweltmeister hinter Luke McShane wurde. Als Kind spielte er weiterhin bei wichtigen nationalen und internationalen Jugendturnieren (wie 1995 in Verdun bei der Jugend-Europameisterschaft U12, bei der er den sechsten Platz belegte), daneben aber auch verstärkt an Turnieren der Erwachsenen. Bereits 1998 nahm er an der Meisterschaft Russlands unter den Erwachsenen teil. Seine erzielten 5 Punkte aus 11 Partien waren bereits ein achtbares Ergebnis.
1999 erzielte er die ersten hervorragenden Resultate: Er gewann das Tschigorin-Memorial in Sankt Petersburg und wurde für die russische Nationalmannschaft nominiert, für die er an der Europamannschaftsmeisterschaft in Batumi teilnahm (+3 =6 −0). 2000 verlieh ihm, 16-jährig, die FIDE den Titel eines Großmeisters. Weitere Erfolge folgten im selben Jahr, so gewann er zusammen mit Ruslan Ponomarjow in Tórshavn und gelangte bei der FIDE-WM in Neu-Delhi bis ins Halbfinale, wo er Alexei Schirow unterlag. Auf der Schacholympiade in Istanbul spielte er wieder solide und erfolgreich: (+5 =5 −0). Grischtschuk studierte an der Moskauer Sporthochschule.
Sein Erfolg bei der FIDE-WM ließ ihn in den Kreis der Elitespieler treten: er nahm 2001 in Linares teil, wo er auf dem geteilten zweiten Platz landete (Sieger wurde Garri Kasparow). 2002 wurde er in Wijk aan Zee Zweiter hinter Jewgeni Barejew und geteilter Erster beim Aeroflot Open in Moskau. Beim Schnellschach-Grand-Prix in Dubai 2002 wurde er Zweiter hinter Péter Lékó, dem er im Finale unterlag. 2004 gewann er das Eliteturnier in Poikowski zusammen mit Sergei Rublewski. Bei der FIDE-WM in Tripolis im selben Jahr gelangte er bis ins Viertelfinale, wo er gegen den späteren Weltmeister Rustam Kasimjanov in den Schnellpartien verlor. Im selben Jahr wurde er hinter Garri Kasparow russischer Vize-Meister in Moskau. Im September 2006 gewann Grischtschuk in Rischon leTzion die FIDE-WM im Blitzschach nach Stichkampf gegen Pjotr Swidler. Beim Kandidatenturnier vom 26. Mai bis 13. Juni 2007 in Elista qualifizierte sich Grischtschuk durch Wettkampfsiege gegen Wladimir Malachow (3,5:1,5) und Sergei Rublewski (5,5:3,5 nach Stichkampf) für das Turnier um die Weltmeisterschaft im September 2007, bei dem er über den achten und damit letzten Platz nicht hinauskam. Im August 2007 gewann er die stark besetzte Blitzschach-Meisterschaft von Moskau mit 17 Punkten aus 19 Partien. Im März 2009 siegte er beim Eliteturnier in Linares mit 8 Punkten aus 14 Partien nach Wertung vor dem punktgleichen Wassyl Iwantschuk. Im Dezember 2009 siegte er beim Finale der Russischen Meisterschaft in Moskau mit 6,5 Punkten aus 9 Partien.
2011 kam er sowohl beim Kandidatenturnier als auch beim Schach-Weltpokal bis ins Finale und wurde jeweils Zweiter. 2012 wurde er in Astana zum zweiten Mal nach 2006 Weltmeister im Blitzschach. Bei der zuvor erstmals ausgetragenen Weltmeisterschaft im Schnellschach kam er auf den 5. Platz.
Bei den Schnell- und Blitzschachweltmeisterschaften 2015 in Berlin wurde Grischtschuk zum dritten Mal Blitzschachweltmeister. Im klassischen Schach wurde er Zweiter beim FIDE Grand Prix 2017 und qualifizierte sich damit für das Kandidatenturnier der Weltmeisterschaft 2018 in Berlin, wo er den sechsten Platz belegte. Den folgenden FIDE-Grand-Prix 2019 gewann er und qualifizierte sich damit auch für das Kandidatenturnier der Weltmeisterschaft 2020 in Jekaterinburg, das er wiederum mit dem sechsten Platz abschloss.
Grischtschuk gehört zu den Kritikern der klassischen Bedenkzeitregelung im Schach. Nach eigener Aussage kann er sich für solche Turniere nur motivieren, wenn es um einen hohen Einsatz geht, ansonsten bevorzugt er Blitz- und Schnellschach.
Er ist verheiratet mit Jekaterina Lagno und hat vier Kinder.
Grischtschuk war als leidenschaftlicher und semiprofessioneller Pokerspieler bekannt, der sowohl an Liveturnieren teilnahm, als auch online spielte. 2017 verkündete er allerdings, dass er das Pokerspiel aufgegeben habe.
Nach der Verhaftung von Alexei Nawalny im Januar 2021 protestierte Gritschtschuk zusammen mit Daniil Dubow dagegen.
Nationalmannschaft
Grischtschuk gehört seit 1999 zur russischen Nationalmannschaft und nahm an acht Schacholympiaden, sechs Mannschaftsweltmeisterschaften und sechs Mannschaftseuropameisterschaften teil. Er wurde 2000 und 2002 Olympiasieger, 2005, 2010 und 2013 Mannschaftsweltmeister sowie 2003, 2007 und 2015 Mannschaftseuropameister.

Alexander Igorewitsch Grischuk (, scientific transliteration ; often the English form Grischuk is used; born October 31, 1983, in Moscow) is a Russian chess grandmaster.
Career
Grischuk comes from an intellectual family; his parents are physicists. His chess talent was strongly promoted in the 1990s. In 1992, he participated in the U10 World Youth Championship in Duisburg, where he became vice-world champion behind Luke McShane. As a child, he continued to play in important national and international youth tournaments (such as in 1995 in Verdun at the European Youth Championship U12, where he took sixth place), but also increasingly in adult tournaments. As early as 1998, he participated in the Russian Championship among adults. His score of 5 points from 11 games was already a respectable result.
In 1999, he achieved his first excellent results: he won the Tschigorin Memorial in Saint Petersburg and was nominated for the Russian national team, for which he participated in the European Team Championship in Batumi (+3 =6 -0). In 2000, at just 16 years old, FIDE awarded him the title of Grandmaster. Further successes followed in the same year, such as winning together with Ruslan Ponomariov in Tórshavn and reaching the semifinals of the FIDE World Championship in New Delhi, where he lost to Alexei Shirov. At the Chess Olympiad in Istanbul, he played again solidly and successfully: (+5 =5 -0). Grischuk studied at the Moscow Sports University.
His success at the FIDE World Championship brought him into the circle of elite players: he participated in 2001 in Linares, where he shared second place (winner was Garry Kasparov). In 2002, he finished second behind Evgeny Bareev in Wijk aan Zee and tied for first at the Aeroflot Open in Moscow. At the Rapid Grand Prix in Dubai in 2002, he finished second behind Péter Lékó, losing to him in the final. In 2004, he won the elite tournament in Poikovsky together with Sergey Rublevsky. At the FIDE World Championship in Tripoli that same year, he reached the quarterfinals, where he lost in the rapid games to the later world champion Rustam Kasimdzhanov. That year, he also became Russian vice-champion behind Garry Kasparov in Moscow. In September 2006, Grischuk won the FIDE World Rapid Championship in Rishon LeZion after a tiebreak against Pjotr Swidler. At the Candidates Tournament from May 26 to June 13, 2007, in Elista, Grischuk qualified for the World Championship tournament in September 2007 through match victories against Vladimir Malakhov (3.5:1.5) and Sergey Rublevsky (5.5:3.5 after tiebreak), but he did not advance beyond eighth place. In August 2007, he won the highly competitive Moscow Blitz Championship with 17 points out of 19 games. In March 2009, he won the elite tournament in Linares with 8 points out of 14 games, finishing ahead of the point-equal Vassily Ivanchuk by tiebreak. In December 2009, he won the final of the Russian Championship in Moscow with 6.5 points out of 9 games.
In 2011, he reached the finals of both the Candidates Tournament and the Chess World Cup, finishing second in both. In 2012, he became World Blitz Chess Champion for the second time after 2006 in Astana. In the previously first-held World Rapid Championship, he finished in 5th place.
At the 2015 Rapid and Blitz World Championships in Berlin, Grischuk became World Blitz Champion for the third time. In classical chess, he was second in the FIDE Grand Prix 2017 and thus qualified for the 2018 World Championship Candidates Tournament in Berlin, where he finished in sixth place. He won the subsequent 2019 FIDE Grand Prix, qualifying again for the 2020 World Championship Candidates Tournament in Yekaterinburg, which he finished in sixth place again.
Grischuk is among the critics of the classical thinking time rule in chess. According to his own statement, he can only motivate himself for such tournaments if there is a high stake; otherwise, he prefers blitz and rapid chess.
He is married to Ekaterina Lagno and has four children.
Grischuk was known as an enthusiastic and semi-professional poker player, participating in live tournaments as well as online. However, in 2017, he announced that he had given up poker.
After the arrest of Alexei Navalny in January 2021, Grischuk protested together with Daniil Dubov against it.
National Team
Grischuk has been part of the Russian national team since 1999 and has participated in eight Chess Olympiads, six World Team Championships, and six European Team Championships. He won Olympic gold in 2000 and 2002, World Team Championship titles in 2005, 2010, and 2013, and European Team Championship titles in 2003, 2007, and 2015.
Clubs
In the Russian team championship, Grischuk played in 2001 for Norilski Nikel Norilsk, from 2003 to 2009 for Ural Yekaterinburg, with whom he became team champion in 2006 and 2008, in 2010 for Shakty Mansiysk, and in 2013 and 2014 for Malachit Oblast Swerdlowsk, which became champion in 2014. In the German Chess Bundesliga, he played in the 2002/03 season for the champion Lübecker Schachverein von 1873, and in the 2016/17 season for SF Deizisau in the 2nd Bundesliga. In France, he played until 2006 for Paris NAO, with whom he became champion in 2003, 2004, 2005, and 2006, and in Spain in 2007 for CA Intel-Tiendas UPI Mancha Real. He won the European Club Cup in 2001 with Norilski Nikel Norilsk, in 2003 and 2004 with Paris NAO, in 2008 with Ural Yekaterinburg, and in 2012 with SOCAR Baku. With Shanghai Mobile China, Grischuk won the Chinese team championship in 2017 and 2019.

Ernst Remak

Ernst Julius Remak (26 May 1849, Berlin – 24 May 1911, Wiesbaden) was a German neurologist who was the son of famed neurologist Robert Remak (1815-1865) and the father of the mathematician Robert Remak (1888-1942).
He received his education at the Universities of Breslau, Berlin, Würzburg, Strasbourg and Heidelberg, and obtained the degree of M.D. in 1870. At Heidelberg, he was a student of neurologist Wilhelm Heinrich Erb (1840-1921). Afterwards he took part in the Franco-Prussian War of 1870–71. After serving as assistant in the department for nervous diseases at the Charité Hospital, Berlin from 1873 to 1875, he established himself as a neurologist in the German capital, where he became privat-docent in 1877, and professor in 1893.
With Edward Flatau (1868-1932), he published an important work on neuritis and polyneuritis that was selected by Carl Nothnagel (1841-1905) to be part of his Handbuch der speziellen Pathologie und Therapie.
His name is associated with the eponymous "Remak reflex", which is plantar flexion of the first three toes and sometimes the foot with extension of the knee, induced by stroking of the upper anterior surface of the thigh. This reflex takes place when the conducting paths in the spinal cord are interrupted.
Literary works
Remak has contributed more than 50 essays to the professional journals, and is the author of:
"Grundriss der Elektrodiagnostik und Elektrotherapie für Praktische Aerzte", Vienna, 1895.
"Neuritis und Polyneuritis," in Nothnagel's, "Handbuch der Speziellen Pathologic und Therapie", ib. 1900.

Ernst Remak (* May 26, 1849, in Berlin; † May 24, 1911, in Wiesbaden) was a German neurologist and university professor of Jewish descent.
Life
His father, Robert Remak, was a famous neurologist, physiologist, and embryologist. He was married to Martha Hahn; their marriage produced the mathematician Robert Remak. His brothers-in-law were microbiologist Martin Hahn and mathematician Kurt Hensel.
After graduating from the Maria-Magdalenen-Gymnasium in his hometown, Remak studied from 1867 at the Silesian Friedrich Wilhelm University in Breslau. In 1867, he became a member of the Corps Borussia Breslau, where he was active alongside Waldemar Dyhrenfurth and Georg von Caro. As a non-active member, he transferred to the Friedrich Wilhelm University in Berlin, later to the Julius Maximilian University of Würzburg, the Kaiser Wilhelm University in Strasbourg, and the Ruprecht Karl University of Heidelberg. From 1870 to 1871, he served in the Franco-Prussian War. From 1873, he worked at the Charité in Berlin. He became a private lecturer in 1877 and a professor at the Berlin University in 1893. He died shortly before his 62nd birthday.
During his studies in Heidelberg, Remak was a student of Wilhelm Erb. The Remak sign or Remak reflex (synonym: femoral reflex), which is the flexion of the hip and knee joints as well as dorsiflexion of the foot after stroking the inner thigh, is named after him.

Maurits Anne Lieftinck informally Maus Lieftinck (18 February 1904 – 13 April 1985) was a Dutch entomologist who specialized in the Odonata, particularly in Southeast Asia, working from the Bogor Museum where he worked for a significant period.
Lieftinck was born in Amsterdam, the second son of tobacco-importer Gerrard and Elsabet née Esser. He was educated at the Amsterdam Lycaeum and at the University of Amsterdam (graduating in 1929). He became interested in natural history and joined the Netherlands Entomological Society in 1919 serving as the editor of Amoeba, the periodical of the Netherlands Youth Federation for Nature Study that he founded in 1921. He published on the dragonflies and damselflies of the Netherlands and left his collections to the Amsterdam Museum in 1929. He moved to the Buitenzorg Museum in Dutch Java and served as in-charge of the Laboratory of Marine Research in Batavia. He became a head of the Buitenzorg Museum in 1939 and worked there until 1954. He was taken prisoner from 1942 to 1946 by invading Japanese forces. He then took leave to travel around Europe before returning to the Museum, now called the Bogor Museum. He collected insect specimens across Southeast Asia and described many new species. In 1954 he moved back to Europe and became a curator at the Leiden Museum. He retired in 1969 and was appointed Officer in the Order of Oranje-Nassau. He went to live in Rhenen with his wife Cornelia Maria van Veen and continued to research and publish.

May Morris
|
Mary "May" Morris (25 March 1862 – 17 October 1938) was an English artisan, embroidery designer, jeweller, socialist, and editor. She was the younger daughter of the Pre-Raphaelite artist and designer William Morris and his wife and artists' model, Jane Morris (née Burden).
Biography
May Morris was born on 25 March 1862 at Red House, Bexleyheath, and named Mary, as she was born on the Feast of the Annunciation.
May learned to embroider from her mother and her aunt Bessie Burden, who had been taught by William Morris. In 1878, she enrolled at the National Art Training School, precursor of the Royal College of Art. In 1885, aged 23, she became the Director of the Embroidery Department at her father's enterprise Morris & Co. During her time in the role she was responsible for producing a range of designs, which were frequently misattributed as her father's work. She ran this department until her father's death in 1896, where she moved into an advisory role.
In 1886, May fell in love with Henry Halliday Sparling (1860–1924), secretary of the Socialist League. Despite her mother's concerns about her future son-in-law, they married on 14 June 1890 at Fulham Register Office. The Sparlings were divorced in 1898, and May resumed her maiden name.
In 1907, she founded the Women’s Guild of Arts with Mary Elizabeth Turner, as the Art Workers Guild did not admit women.
She edited her father's Collected Works in 24 volumes for Longmans, Green and Company, published from 1910 to 1915, and, after his death, commissioned two houses to be built in the style that he loved in the village of Kelmscott in the Cotswolds. Her companion at Kelmscott from 1917 until her death was Mary Lobb, a Land Army volunteer in the village.
May Morris died at Kelmscott Manor on 17 October 1938.
Embroidery
May Morris was an influential embroideress and designer, although her contributions are often overshadowed by those of her father, a towering figure in the Arts and Crafts movement. She continued his resurrection of free-form embroidery in the style which would be termed art needlework. Art needlework emphasized freehand stitching and delicate shading in silk thread thought to encourage self-expression in the needleworker in sharp contrast with the brightly coloured Berlin wool work needlepoint and its "paint by numbers" aesthetic which had gripped much of home embroidery in the mid-19th century.
May Morris was also active in the Royal School of Art Needlework (now Royal School of Needlework), founded as a charity in 1872 under the patronage of Princess Helena to maintain and develop the art of needlework through structured apprenticeships. The school originally opened in the autumn of 1872 in rooms in Sloane Street, London, with a staff of twenty women overseen by Lady Welby and Mrs Dolby, an "authority in ecclesiastical work". While the course available in the government schools of design for women was theoretical only, the RSAN had the distinct advantage of a practical, hands-on technical training. The school grew rapidly, and by 1875 had moved into their third locale, conveniently located in Exhibition Road next to the South Kensington Museum. The collections of ancient embroidery in the Museum were studied in an effort to understand and relearn old work.
Also among the staff at the RSAN were Jane Morris's sister, Elizabeth Burden, who was chief technical instructor from 1880, and designers Deborah Birnbaum (c1889) and Nellie Whichelo (c1890).
May Morris taught embroidery at the LCC Central School of Art in London from 1897, and was head of the Embroidery department from 1899 until 1905, thereafter continuing her association with the Central School as Visitor until 1910. She also taught at Birmingham, Leicester and Hammersmith Art School.
By 1916, there were many art schools under the LCC umbrella that included embroidery in their curriculum. Among the embroidery instructors were sisters Ellen M Wright and Fanny I Wright, both previously employed in the Embroidery Department at Morris & Co., and trained by May Morris. Ellen M Wright also taught at the Clapham School of Art, aided by Miss F Pooley, and Eleanor R Harriss and Mrs L Frampton taught at the Hammersmith School of Arts & Crafts.
Jewellery
Morris also designed and made jewellery. She began to design jewellery around the turn of the 20th century, and was probably inspired by the Birmingham jewellers Arthur and Georgie Gaskin, who were old family friends. Examples of her jewellery were donated by Mary Lobb to the Victoria and Albert Museum and Amgueddfa Cymru – Museum Wales.

May Morris (geboren als Mary Morris, * 25. März 1862 in Bexley, London; † 17. Oktober 1938 in Kelmscott Manor, Oxfordshire) war eine britische Unternehmerin und Produktdesignerin für Bunt- und Weißstickerei und frühe britische Sozialistin.
Leben
Kindheit
Mary (May) Morris war die jüngere Tochter des Architekten und Malers William Morris (1834–1896), einer der Gründer des Arts and Crafts Movement und früher Begründer der sozialistischen Bewegung in Großbritannien und seiner Ehefrau Jane Burden (1839–1914). Im Alter von sieben Jahren lernte sie von ihrer Mutter und deren Schwester das Sticken. Sie besuchte ihren Vater in dessen Werkstätten; vor allem interessierten sie die Glasmalereien und das Brennofen-Haus (Kiln House).
Nachdem die Familie das Red House in Upton, Bexleyheath aufgeben musste, zog sie nach London und wohnte von 1865 bis 1872 Queen Square, Bloomsbury. Von Kindheit an waren May und ihre ältere Schwester Jane Alice (Jenny) eng befreundet mit den Kindern von Georgie und Edward Burne-Jones. Zusammen mit ihrer Schwester besuchte sie die Notting Hill High School in Norland Square, Notting Hill. Ab 1871 verbrachten sie die Sommerferien in Kelmscott Manor, das Haus, das für sie und ihren Vater eine Quelle der Inspiration war.
Studium, Stickerei, Heirat
May Morris studierte von 1880 bis 1883 Textile Kunst an der South Kensington School of Design. 1885 übernahm sie im Alter von 23 Jahren die Leitung der Stickerei-Abteilung der Firma Morris & Co. Sie hatte bereits einige Stickereien für diese entworfen und führte von diesem Zeitpunkt an alle neuen Entwürfe durch, gemeinsam mit Morris' Assistent John Henry Dearle, der später der Art Director des Unternehmens wurde.
1886 verliebte sich May in Henry Halliday Sparling, den Sekretär der Sozialistischen Liga von Hammersmith. Trotz der Sorge ihrer Mutter wegen dessen bäuerlicher Herkunft heirateten die beiden am 14. Juni 1890 im Standesamt von Fulham. Sparling wurde bei der Kelmscott Druckerei angestellt und sie mieteten ein Haus in der Hammersmith Terrace 8. Morris arbeitete an den größeren Aufträgen der Firma, wie Portieren, Wandbehänge und Altartücher. Als sie nach der Hochzeit ihr eigenes Haus bezog, kamen die Stickerinnen (darunter auch zwei Schwestern des Dichters William Butler Yeats) dorthin und arbeiteten in ihrem Salon. Ihr Vater besuchte sie an jedem Morgen, um sich nach dem Fortschritt der Arbeiten zu erkundigen.
Als May ihre frühere Liebesbeziehung zu George Bernard Shaw wieder aufnahm und mit diesem zum International Socialist Workers' Congress nach Zürich reiste, trennten sich die Wege der Eheleute. 1898 wurden sie geschieden und May nahm wieder ihren Geburtsnamen an.
Lehrtätigkeit, Sozialistenbewegung
Von 1899 bis 1908 gab sie Unterricht in Sticken sowohl an der Central School of Arts & Crafts und der School of Art Needlework (heute Royal School of Needlework). Sie war auch eine bedeutende Schmuckdesignerin und stellte regelmäßig in der Arts and Crafts Exhibition Society aus.
Weil Frauen in der Art-Workers Guild (Gilde der Kunsthandwerker) nicht zugelassen waren, gründete sie 1907 die Women's Guild of Arts und blieb deren Präsidentin bis 1935.
Zusammen mit ihrem Vater und ihrem Ehemann gehörte sie zu den ersten britischen Sozialisten. Sie legten gemeinsam mit Eleanor Marx und Friedrich Engels die Grundlage zur sozialistischen Bewegung.
Nach dem Tod ihres Vaters 1896 veröffentlichte sie seine Romane und Dichtungen in 24 Bänden, die jeweils auf 1.050 Bücher limitiert waren, von denen jeweils 1.000 für den Verkauf bestimmt waren.
Spätere Jahre
Morris befreundete sich mit der ehemaligen Traktoristin und Gärtnerin von Kelmscott Manor, Mary Lobb, die später dort einzog. 1910 reiste Morris in Begleitung von Mary Lobb nach Amerika und Kanada, wo sie auch Vorträge hielt. Dort verliebte sie sich in den amerikanischen Rechtsanwalt und Sammler von Manuskripten John Quinn. Nach der Rückkehr nach England führten die beiden einen Briefwechsel, der bis 1917 andauerte. Quinn war ernsthaft an Morris' Arbeit interessiert und wollte ihre Bemühungen unterstützen. Der Briefwechsel wurde 75 Jahre später in der John Quinn (1870 – 1924) Memorial Collection der New York Public Library wiederentdeckt.
1913 – ein Jahr vor ihrem Tod – kaufte ihre Mutter Jane das bis dahin nur gemietete Kelmscott Manor für £4000 für ihre Töchter. Morris stellte auf der Weltausstellung in Gent (1913) und der Exposition d'Arts Décoratifs in Paris (1914) ihre Arbeiten aus.
Während des Ersten Weltkrieges half sie in Kelmscott bei der Feldarbeit und unterhielt eine Suppenküche im Dorf. Morris verfolgte über die Jahre die Idee eines Dorfgemeinschaftshauses für Kelmscott. Der mit ihr befreundete Architekt Ernest Gimsom zeichnete die Pläne, verstarb jedoch 1919. Mary Lobb lebte bis zu Morris' Tod 1938 in Kelmscott Manor.
Morris starb am 17. Oktober 1938. Sie wurde nahe ihrer Familie in Kelmscott bei der St George's Kirche beigesetzt. Im Jahr darauf wurde das geplante Dorfgemeinschaftshaus errichtet und – in Anwesenheit des Premierministers Ramsay MacDonald – von George Bernard Shaw eröffnet.

May Morris (born as Mary Morris, * March 25, 1862, in Bexley, London; † October 17, 1938, in Kelmscott Manor, Oxfordshire) was a British entrepreneur and product designer for embroidery and whitework embroidery, and an early British socialist.
Life
Childhood
Mary (May) Morris was the younger daughter of architect and painter William Morris (1834–1896), one of the founders of the Arts and Crafts Movement and an early advocate of socialism in Britain, and his wife Jane Burden (1839–1914). At the age of seven, she learned embroidery from her mother and her mother's sister. She visited her father in his workshops; she was especially interested in stained glass and the kiln house.
After the family had to give up Red House in Upton, Bexleyheath, they moved to London and lived from 1865 to 1872 in Queen Square, Bloomsbury. From childhood, May and her older sister Jane Alice (Jenny) were close friends with the children of Georgie and Edward Burne-Jones. Together with her sister, she attended Notting Hill High School in Norland Square, Notting Hill. Starting in 1871, they spent summer holidays at Kelmscott Manor, the house that was a source of inspiration for her and her father.
Studies, Embroidery, Marriage
May Morris studied Textile Arts from 1880 to 1883 at the South Kensington School of Design. In 1885, at the age of 23, she took over the management of the embroidery department at Morris & Co. She had already designed some embroideries for this company and from that point on, she created all new designs together with Morris's assistant John Henry Dearle, who later became the art director of the company.
In 1886, May fell in love with Henry Halliday Sparling, secretary of the Socialist League of Hammersmith. Despite her mother's concerns about his peasant origins, they married on June 14, 1890, at the Fulham registry office. Sparling was employed at the Kelmscott Press, and they rented a house at 8 Hammersmith Terrace. Morris worked on the company's larger commissions, such as portières, wall hangings, and altar cloths. After their wedding, when she moved into her own house, embroiderers (including two sisters of the poet William Butler Yeats) came to work in her salon. Her father visited her every morning to inquire about the progress of the work.
When May rekindled her previous romantic relationship with George Bernard Shaw and traveled with him to the International Socialist Workers' Congress in Zurich, the paths of the spouses diverged. They divorced in 1898, and May resumed using her maiden name.
Teaching, Socialist Movement
From 1899 to 1908, she taught embroidery at the Central School of Arts & Crafts and the School of Art Needlework (now Royal School of Needlework). She was also a prominent jewelry designer and regularly exhibited at the Arts and Crafts Exhibition Society.
Because women were not allowed in the Art-Workers Guild, she founded the Women's Guild of Arts in 1907 and served as its president until 1935.
Together with her father and her husband, she was among the first British socialists. Along with Eleanor Marx and Friedrich Engels, they laid the groundwork for the socialist movement.
After her father's death in 1896, she published his novels and poetry in 24 volumes, each limited to 1,050 copies, of which 1,000 were intended for sale.
Later Years
Morris befriended Mary Lobb, a former tractor driver and gardener at Kelmscott Manor, who later moved in there. In 1910, Morris traveled to America and Canada accompanied by Mary Lobb, where she also gave lectures. There, she fell in love with American lawyer and manuscript collector John Quinn. After returning to England, the two maintained a correspondence that lasted until 1917. Quinn was seriously interested in Morris's work and wanted to support her efforts. The correspondence was rediscovered 75 years later in the John Quinn (1870–1924) Memorial Collection at the New York Public Library.
In 1913—one year before her death—her mother Jane purchased Kelmscott Manor, which had previously only been rented, for £4,000 for her daughters. Morris exhibited her work at the 1913 World's Fair in Ghent and the 1914 Exposition d'Arts Décoratifs in Paris.
During World War I, she helped with fieldwork in Kelmscott and ran a soup kitchen in the village. Over the years, Morris pursued the idea of a village community house for Kelmscott. The architect Ernest Gimsom, who was her friend, drew up the plans but died in 1919. Mary Lobb lived at Kelmscott Manor until Morris's death in 1938.
Morris died on October 17, 1938. She was buried near her family at Kelmscott, at St. George's Church. The following year, the planned village community house was built and was inaugurated by Prime Minister Ramsay MacDonald in the presence of George Bernard Shaw.

Victor Torp Overgaard (born 30 July 1999) is a Danish professional footballer who plays as a midfielder for Eliteserien club Sarpsborg 08. He is a Danish youth international.
Club career
Midtjylland
Torp started playing football in Lemvig, northwest Jutland, on the banks of the Limfjord when he joined Lemvig GF. Later he was scouted to the youth team of FC Midtjylland.
Fredericia (loans)
Shortly before his 19th birthday, Torp and his two teammates Sebastian Buch Jensen and Henry Uzochukwu were sent on loan to the second division club FC Fredericia.
On 29 July 2018, he made his senior debut when he was in the starting line-up in the 3–2 defeat at Næstved Boldklub, in which he scored a goal in the 37th minute for the temporary 2–1 lead. In the first half of the season, Torp, mostly used as a right midfielder, was utilised in every game, but in the training camp before the start of the second half of the season he suffered an abdominal injury and then fell out because of an inflammation in the lower part of the abdomen around the pubic bone.
His loan deal then expired and he returned to Midtjylland. However, Torp did not make a competitive appearance for Midtjylland. In January 2020, he was sent on loan again to Fredericia. After he had recovered, Torp played regularly and was used in all games.
Lyngby (loan)
After his loan expired, he returned to Midtjylland, but was then loaned out once again, this time to league rivals Lyngby Boldklub. Mostly playing as a central midfielder, Torp quickly became a starter for the relegation candidate. On 1 December 2020, he scored his first goal in the Danish Superliga in a 2–2 away draw against FC Copenhagen.
He suffered relegation to the Danish 1st Division with the club on 9 May 2021 after a loss to last placed AC Horsens, before returning to Midtjylland.
Kortrijk (loan)
On 31 August 2021, Torp was loaned out to Belgian First Division A club Kortrijk for the 2021–22 season.
Sarpsborg 08
On 8 June 2022, 22-year old Torp signed a three-year deal with Norwegian Eliteserien club Sarpsborg 08.
International career
Torp gained eight caps for the Denmark under-17 team in 2016, scoring one goal, and took part in the 2016 UEFA European Under-17 Championship in Azerbaijan at that age level. There, Denmark were eliminated after the group stage; Torp was utilised in all games. From 2016 to 2017 he played in five friendly matches for the under-18 team.
He was part of the Danish under-19 team from 2017 to 2018 and played 12 games in which he scored two goals. He also took part in the 2018 UEFA European Under-19 Championship qualification for the tournament in Finland, which Denmark missed out on. In 2018, Torp played two friendlies for the under-20 team.
On 14 November 2020 he received his first call-up for the Denmark U21 team, when he was selected for the squad for the 2021 European Under-21 Championship qualifier against Romania.

Victor Torp Overgaard (* 30. Juli 1999) ist ein dänischer Fußballprofi. Der zentrale Mittelfeldspieler steht aktuell bei Sarpsborg 08 FF in Norwegen unter Vertrag.
Karriere
Verein
Victor Torp begann mit dem Fußballspielen im nordwestjütischen Lemvig am Ufer des Limfjords, als er Lemvig GF beitrat. Später zog es ihn in die Jugend des FC Midtjylland. Kurz vor seinem 19. Geburtstag wurde Torp mit zwei Vereinskollegen an den Zweitligisten FC Fredericia verliehen. Am 29. Juli 2018 debütierte er im Ligafußball im Erwachsenenbereich, als er bei der 2:3-Niederlage bei Næstved BK in der Startformation stand und in der 37. Minute mit seinem ersten Tor den Treffer zur zwischenzeitlichen 2:1-Führung erzielte. In der Hinrunde kam Victor Torp, meistens als rechter Mittelfeldspieler eingesetzt, in jedem Spiel zum Einsatz, im Trainingslager vor Beginn der Rückrunde erlitt er allerdings eine Bauchverletzung und fiel dann wegen einer „Entzündung im unteren Bereich des Bauches um das Schambein herum“ aus. Sein Leihvertrag lief aus und daraufhin kehrte er zum FC Midtjylland zurück. Für den FC Midtjylland absolvierte Torp allerdings kein Pflichtspiel. Im Januar 2020 wurde der Däne erneut an den FC Fredericia verliehen. Nachdem er sich auskuriert hatte, hatte Torp regelmäßig gespielt und kam in allen Partien zum Einsatz. Nachdem sein Leihvertrag auslief, kehrte er zum FC Midtjylland zurück, wurde allerdings dann erneut verliehen, dieses Mal zum Ligakonkurrenten Lyngby BK. Zumeist als zentraler Mittelfeldspieler eingesetzt, hatte Victor Torp ab dem 3. Spieltag in jeder Partie in der Hinrunde gespielt. Zum Saisonende stieg Lyngby BK aus der Superligæn ab. Der Leihvertrag lief aus, woraufhin Torp zum FC Midtjylland zurückkehrte. Für die erste Mannschaft absolvierte er allerdings lediglich ein Spiel in der Liga; er wurde kurz vor Ende der Sommertransferperiode erneut verliehen, jetzt nach Belgien an den KV Kortrijk. Dort absolvierte er bis zum Saisonende nur neun Ligapartien und wechselte dann fest weiter zum norwegischen Erstligisten Sarpsborg 08 FF mit einem Vertrag bis 2025.
Nationalmannschaft
Victor Torp hatte im Jahr 2016 in acht Partien für die dänische U17-Nationalmannschaft gespielt (ein Tor) und nahm mit dieser Altersklasse an der U-17-Fußball-Europameisterschaft 2016 in Aserbaidschan teil. Dort schied Dänemark nach der Gruppenphase aus; Torp kam in allen Partien zum Einsatz. Von 2016 bis 2017 lief er in fünf Freundschaftsspielen für die U18-Nationalmannschaft auf. Von 2017 bis 2018 kam der Däne für die U19-Auswahl zum Einsatz und absolvierte dabei 12 Spiele, in denen er zwei Tore schoss. Dabei kam er auch in der Qualifikation für die U-19-Fußball-Europameisterschaft 2018 in Finnland statt; die Qualifikation wurde verpasst. 2018 absolvierte Victor Torp des Weiteren zwei Freundschaftsspiele für die dänische U20. Am 14. November 2020 wurde er erstmals für die dänische U21-Nationalmannschaft nominiert, als er für den Kader für das EM-Qualifikationsspiel gegen Rumänien berufen wurde.

Manuel Cáceres Artesero (born 15 January 1949 in Ciudad Real, Spain), better known as Manolo, el del bombo (English: Manolo the Bass Drummer) is one of the most famous football fans in the world.
Biography
Raised in Huesca, he is Valencia CF and the Spain national football team's most famous supporter and has become a national institution. He is easily recognized by his large beret, red number 12 jersey and his famous bass drum, "El bombo de España" (The drum of Spain), which he bangs throughout matches.
Manolo first travelled abroad to watch Spain in 1979 and was present to all Spain's international matches since 1982. On 3 July 2010 he missed his first game: Spain - Paraguay at FIFA World Cup 2010 South Africa, because he caught pneumonia.
At the 1982 World Cup in Spain he hitch-hiked 15,800 kilometers in order to follow his team. He has also gone through 9 or 10 "bombos".
He owned the bar Tu Museo Deportivo next to the Estadio Mestalla that doubles as a sports museum. It was closed in 2011.
During the FIFA World Cup 2018 in Russia he was prohibited to be with his bass drum in the matches. He decided to not to travel abroad with "La Roja".

Manolo el del Bombo
|
Manuel Cáceres Artesero (* 15. Januar 1949 in San Carlos del Valle, Provinz Ciudad Real), genannt Manolo el del Bombo („Manolo, der mit der Pauke“), gehört zu den bekanntesten Fußballfans der Welt. Er sorgt bei Spielen der spanischen Nationalelf und bis 2001 auch bei den Spielen des FC Valencia als Einheizer für Stimmung.
Angefangen zu trommeln hat Manolo eigenen Angaben zufolge um 1972 beim unterklassigen Verein UD Huesca, 1979 reiste er erstmals zu einem Auswärtsspiel der Nationalmannschaft. Von 1982 bis 2010 verpasste er kein Länderspiel Spaniens, bis er dem Spiel gegen Paraguay bei der Fußballweltmeisterschaft 2010 wegen einer Lungenentzündung fernblieb. Die ersten Jahre trampte Manolo wegen Geldmangel zu den Auslandsspielen und habe allein 1982 per Anhalter 16000 Kilometer zurückgelegt. Sein Ziel sei es bis 2026 weiter bei allen großen Turniere mit Spanien dabei zu sein, um sich dann mit 77 Jahren nach seiner 12. Weltmeisterschaft zur Ruhe zu setzen.
Manolo gilt als Spaniens berühmtester Fan und ist über die Fernsehübertragungen auch zu internationaler Bekanntheit gelangt. Seine Markenzeichen sind seine überdimensionale Baskenmütze und seine große Trommel (genauer: Bombo). Er betreibt die Gaststätte El Bombo (Die Trommel) neben dem Mestalla-Stadion in Valencia mit einem angegliederten Fanshop.
Im Estadio Mestalla in Valencia ist Manolo jedoch nicht mehr anzutreffen. Seit ihm der Verein 2001 keine Eintrittskarte für das Champions-League-Finale zukommen ließ, besucht er nur noch die Spiele der Nationalmannschaft und gelegentlich internationale Auftritte von Real Madrid und des FC Barcelona. Er ist der Namenspate von Manolo vom Bökelberg, der zwischen 1977 und 2002 beständiger Teil der Mönchengladbacher Fußballfolklore war.

Manuel Cáceres Artesero (* January 15, 1949, in San Carlos del Valle, Province of Ciudad Real), known as Manolo el del Bombo ("Manolo, the one with the drum"), is one of the most famous football fans in the world. He creates excitement at Spanish national team matches and, until 2001, also at FC Valencia games.
According to his own statements, Manolo started drumming around 1972 with the lower-league club UD Huesca. In 1979, he traveled for the first time to an away game of the national team. From 1982 to 2010, he did not miss a Spain international match until he missed the game against Paraguay at the 2010 FIFA World Cup due to pneumonia. In his early years, Manolo hitchhiked to away games due to lack of money, covering 16,000 kilometers alone in 1982. His goal is to continue attending all major tournaments with Spain until 2026, after which he plans to retire at the age of 77 following his 12th World Cup.
Manolo is considered Spain's most famous fan and has gained international recognition through television broadcasts. His trademarks are his oversized beret and his large drum (specifically: Bombo). He runs the restaurant El Bombo (The Drum) next to the Mestalla Stadium in Valencia, which also has a fan shop.
However, Manolo is no longer seen at the Estadio Mestalla in Valencia. Since the club did not provide him with a ticket for the Champions League final in 2001, he now only attends the national team matches and occasionally international appearances of Real Madrid and FC Barcelona. He is the namesake of Manolo vom Bökelberg, who was a consistent part of Mönchengladbach football folklore between 1977 and 2002.

Johann Gottfried Arnold
|
Johann Gottfried Arnold (15 February 1773 – 16 July 1806) was a German cellist and composer.
Life
He was the son of the schoolmaster of Niedernhall near Oehringen in Württemberg. From his earliest childhood he showed such a passion and aptitude for music that his father apprenticed him in his twelfth year to the musical director (Stadtmusikus) of the neighbouring town of Künzelsau. During this time he devoted himself chiefly to the practice of the cello, at which, under the influence of a most exacting master, he worked with such diligence as, it is said, permanently to injure his health.
In 1789, his term of apprenticeship came to an end, and the following year he took his first regular engagement at Wertheim, where his uncle, Friedrich Adam Arnold, was established as musical director. He continued to study with unabated energy. After making concert tours in Switzerland and Germany, he spent some time at Regensburg in order to take advantage of the instruction of the able cellist Maximilian Willmann. Making constant improvement, he visited Berlin and Hamburg, at which latter town he had the good fortune to make the acquaintance of Bernhard Romberg, whose style and method he studied to great advantage.
In 1799, he became attached to the theatre at Frankfurt as first cellist, where he occupied himself much with composition, and enjoyed a great reputation both as executant and teacher. The career however of this young and talented artist was speedily cut short, for he died of an affection of the lungs in 1806 at the early age of thirty-four.
The pianist and composer Carl Arnold was his son.
Works
Besides compositions and 'transcriptions' for his own particular instrument, he wrote original pieces for the flute and piano, and made quartet arrangements of various operas, etc. Fétis ('Biographie') gives a list of his compositions, including five concertos for the violoncello; a symphonic concertante for two flutes and orchestra; airs with variations, op. 9 (Bonn); and easy pieces for the guitar.

Johann Gottfried Arnold (* 1. Februar 1773 in Niedernhall; † 26. Juli 1806 in Frankfurt) war ein deutscher Cellist und Komponist.
Leben
Arnold war der Sohn eines Lehrers aus dem hohenlohischen Niedernhall. Von frühester Kindheit an zeigte er eine große Begabung für die Musik. Von seinem Vater erhielt Arnold die erste musikalische Ausbildung und bereits im Alter von acht Jahren interessierte er sich für das Spiel des Violoncellos. Sein Vater gab ihn im Alter von elf Jahren in die Lehre beim Stadtmusikus der benachbarten Stadt Künzelsau. Während dieser Zeit widmete Arnold sich dem Violoncellospiel, was er mit einem solchen Eifer betrieb, dass er seine Gesundheit gefährdete. 1789 endete seine Lehrzeit, und im folgenden Jahr nahm er sein erstes festes Engagement in Wertheim an, wo sein Onkel, Friedrich Adam Arnold, als Musikdirektor wirkte. In Wertheim verbesserte er sein Violoncellospiel und begann seine Studien in Musiktheorie und Komposition beim örtlichen Kantor. Nach Konzertreisen in der Schweiz und in Deutschland, die nicht zur erhofften Solokarriere führten, hielt er sich einige Zeit in Regensburg auf und nahm Unterricht bei dem bekannten Cellisten Max Willmann. Danach ging er ab 1796 nach Hamburg, wo er bei dem Cellisten Bernhard Romberg studierte und seine technischen Fertigkeiten auf dem Instrument weiter verbesserte. 1798 nahm Arnold – auf Empfehlung von Bernhard Romberg – eine Anstellung als 1. Violoncellist am Frankfurter Nationaltheater an, wo er sowohl als Cellist als auch als Klavier- und Violoncellolehrer einen guten Ruf genoss und sich viel mit Komposition beschäftigte. Seine Karriere wurde früh beendet, er starb 1806 im Alter von nur 33 Jahren an einer Lungenentzündung.
Johann Gottfried Arnold komponierte hauptsächlich Werke für Violoncello oder transkribierte Werke für dieses Instrument. Am bekanntesten sind seine im Zeitraum 1802 bis 1808 veröffentlichten fünf Cellokonzerte. Darüber hinaus komponierte er eine Symphonie concertante für zwei Flöten und Orchester und kleinere Werke für Klavier, Cello und Gitarre.

Johann Gottfried Arnold (* February 1, 1773 in Niedernhall; † July 26, 1806 in Frankfurt) was a German cellist and composer.
Life
Arnold was the son of a teacher from Niedernhall in Hohenlohe. From early childhood, he showed great talent for music. He received his first musical training from his father and, at the age of eight, became interested in playing the cello. His father apprenticed him at the age of eleven to the city musician of the neighboring town of Künzelsau. During this time, Arnold dedicated himself to playing the cello with such zeal that he endangered his health. In 1789, his apprenticeship ended, and the following year he took his first permanent engagement in Wertheim, where his uncle, Friedrich Adam Arnold, was a music director. In Wertheim, he improved his cello playing and began studying music theory and composition with the local cantor. After concert tours in Switzerland and Germany that did not lead to the hoped-for solo career, he stayed in Regensburg for some time and took lessons from the renowned cellist Max Willmann. Afterwards, from 1796, he moved to Hamburg, where he studied with the cellist Bernhard Romberg and further improved his technical skills on the instrument. In 1798, Arnold took a position as first cellist at the Frankfurt National Theatre on the recommendation of Bernhard Romberg, where he enjoyed a good reputation both as a cellist and as a piano and cello teacher, and engaged heavily in composition. His career was cut short when he died in 1806 at the age of only 33 from pneumonia.
Johann Gottfried Arnold primarily composed works for cello or transcribed works for this instrument. He is best known for his five cello concertos published between 1802 and 1808. Additionally, he composed a symphonie concertante for two flutes and orchestra, and smaller works for piano, cello, and guitar. An overview of his compositions can be found in the book "Biographie universelle des musiciens et bibliographie générale de la musique" by François-Joseph Fétis.

Rose Leon
|
Rose Agatha Leon (20 October 1911 – 16 August 1999) was a Jamaican businesswoman and politician. In August 1999, she was murdered in her home.
Biography
Leon was born to a pharmacist, Benjamin Joseph Huie, and Adella née Murray Hui on 20 October 1911 in Saint Ann Parish. She was educated in the Central Branch Elementary School and Wolmer’s Girls' School, both in Jamaica, and later in New York City at the Abyssinian School of Cosmetic Chemistry. Leon was married to Arthur Alexander Leon in 1932; the couple had two children.
Politics
Leon first became politically active in the early 1940s, when she became a councilor for the Kingston and St. Andrew Corporation. From 1944 she was a member of the Jamaica Labour Party (JLP).
In 1948 she became chair of the Jamaica Labour Party, making her the first woman to chair a national political party. Leon held that position for 12 years. In 1949, she was elected into the Jamaica House of Representatives, and in 1953 was appointed minister of health and social welfare, holding that post until 1955. Leon held her seat in the 1955 elections, beating PNP candidate William Seivwright. In 1960 she left the JLP due to its lack of support for the Federation of the West Indies. Leon was not able to win re-election as an independent, and shortly afterwards joined the People's National Party. She returned to prominence in 1969, being elected as a local councillor, heading the local Roads and Works Committee from 1969 to 1972, and winning election in 1971 to a one year term as deputy mayor of Kingston. From 1972–1976 she was Minister of Local Government in the Manley government, and during the following four years was the special adviser to the minister of social security. In 1980, she retired from politics.
From 1951 to 1999 Leon was senior justice of the peace in St. Andrew.
Cosmetics business
Having returned to Jamaica from studying chemistry in the US, she founded the Leon School of Beauty Culture with her husband. She pioneered a line of locally-made beauty products, providing an alternative to imports. Right up until her death, Leon taught at the school.
Awards and other work
Leon was involved in the foundation of the Jamaica Federation of Women in 1944, the Jamaica Manufacturers' Association in 1947, and advocated for the West Indies' Federation. She volunteered in several places. In 1956 Leon was given the Keys to the City of New York by John Lindsay, the mayor. Two years later she visited Liberia at the request of William Tubman, the nation's president. In 1982 she was made a Commander of the Order of Distinction. She also received various awards from other Jamaican groups.
Killing
Leon was murdered in August 1999 by several robbers while in her home in Kingston, Jamaica. She was 85 years old. In the aftermath of her killing, numerous Jamaican politicians apologized for potentially fostering a climate that led to such killings occurring. Anthony Abrahams, a former politician and radio show host, said, "We were part of the process...We are part of a failed state and as such we failed the country. With all the opportunity I had, I just slipped into the political system without really bucking it." Other politicians echoed his sentiments. In 2002 an annual lecture in her memory was created by the Jamaica Women's Political Caucus.

Rose Agatha Leon (* 20. Oktober 1913 in Kingston; † 16. August 1999) war eine jamaikanische Unternehmerin, Politikerin der Jamaica Labour Party (JLP) sowie der People’s National Party (PNP) sowie die erste Frau, die Vorsitzende einer Partei des Landes wurde und ein Ministeramt in Jamaika übernahm.
Biografie
Politische Laufbahn in der JLP und erste Ministerin Jamaikas
Rose Agatha Leon wuchs in Kingston auf und begann nach dem Besuch der Wolmer’s Girls School ein Studium an der Abyssinian School of Cosmetic Chemistry in den Vereinigten Staaten. Nach ihrer Rückkehr nach Jamaika begründete sie mit ihrem Ehemann Arthur Leon die Leon School of Beauty Culture, entwarf dort eine Serie von einheimischen Schönheitsprodukten und wurde damit eine der ersten Geschäftsfrauen Jamaikas.
Während des Zweiten Weltkrieges begann sie auch ihre politische Laufbahn in einer Zeit als die beiden führenden Parteien, die 1938 von Norman Washington Manley gegründete People’s National Party und die 1943 von Alexander Bustamante ins Leben gerufene Jamaica Labour Party noch in ihren Anfängen lagen. Sie trat dabei zunächst der JLP bei, wurde 1948 geschäftsführende Vorsitzende (Chairwoman) der Partei und damit als erste Frau in der Führung einer Partei in der Karibik auch enge Mitarbeiterin Bustamantes während der Zeit der wachsenden politischen Selbstverwaltung. Das Amt der geschäftsführenden Parteivorsitzenden bekleidete sie bis 1960 und wurde 1949 zum Mitglied des Repräsentantenhauses gewählt und vertrat dort den Wahlkreis St Andrew Western.
Am 5. Mai 1953 berief sie Chefminister Bustamante zur Ministerin für Gesundheit, Wohnungsbau und Arbeit in sein Kabinett und somit zur ersten Ministerin Jamaikas. Dieses Amt bekleidete sie bis zur Niederlage der JLP am 2. Februar 1955.
Nach den Wahlen 1955 kam es zu einem Eklat: Zwar hatte sie in ihrem Wahlkreis erneut gewonnen, allerdings kam es aufgrund einer Rede zur Unterstützung ihres Parteifreundes George Peryer zu einer Petition des unterlegenen Gegners von Peryer und Kandidaten der PNP, Percy Broderick Sr. Diese fühlte sich durch die Rede Leons in seinen Wahlchancen beeinträchtigt, woraufhin die Wahlsiege von Leon und Peryer aufgrund des damals geltenden Wahlgesetzes aufgehoben wurden.
Politische Laufbahn in der PNP und Ermordung
Aus Enttäuschung über die politische Haltung der JLP, die sich für den Austritt aus der Westindischen Föderation einsetzte, verließ sie 1960 die Partei und kandidierte bei den Wahlen am 10. April 1962 als Parteilose für das Repräsentantenhaus im Wahlkreis St Andrew West Rural. Dabei unterlag sie jedoch den Kandidaten von PNP und JLP und wurde kurz darauf Mitglied der PNP von Manley.
Nachdem sie zwischen 1971 und 1972 Vize-Bürgermeisterin von Kingston war, wurde sie nach dem Wahlsieg der PNP von Premierminister Michael Manley am 2. März 1972 zur Minister für Lokalverwaltung in dessen Regierung berufen. Dieses Amt bekleidete sie bis zum Verlust ihres Abgeordnetenmandats bei den Wahlen zum Repräsentantenhaus 1976 und war danach bis zum Ende von Manleys Amtszeit am 1. November 1980 Sonderberaterin des Ministers für soziale Angelegenheiten.
Nach ihrem Ausscheiden aus der Politik widmete sie sich wieder verstärkt ihren unternehmerischen Interessen und unterrichtete zugleich bis zu ihrem Tode an der Leon School of Beauty Culture. Rose Agatha Leon wurde bei einem Einbruch in ihrem Haus ermordet.

Rose Agatha Leon (* October 20, 1913, in Kingston; † August 16, 1999) was a Jamaican businesswoman, politician of the Jamaica Labour Party (JLP) as well as the People’s National Party (PNP), and the first woman to become the leader of a party in the country and to hold a ministerial office in Jamaica.
Biography
Political Career in the JLP and First Minister of Jamaica
Rose Agatha Leon grew up in Kingston and, after attending Wolmer’s Girls School, began studies at the Abyssinian School of Cosmetic Chemistry in the United States. After returning to Jamaica, she co-founded the Leon School of Beauty Culture with her husband Arthur Leon, developed a series of indigenous beauty products there, and became one of Jamaica’s first businesswomen.
During World War II, she also began her political career at a time when the two leading parties, the People’s National Party founded by Norman Washington Manley in 1938 and the Jamaica Labour Party established by Alexander Bustamante in 1943, were still in their infancy. She initially joined the JLP, became acting chairwoman of the party in 1948, and thus the first woman to lead a party in the Caribbean, working closely with Bustamante during the period of increasing political self-governance. She held the position of acting party chairwoman until 1960, was elected to the House of Representatives in 1949, and represented the St Andrew Western constituency.
On May 5, 1953, she appointed Chief Minister Bustamante as Minister of Health, Housing, and Labour in his cabinet, making her Jamaica’s first minister. She held this office until the JLP’s defeat on February 2, 1955.
After the 1955 elections, a scandal arose: although she again won her constituency, a petition was filed by her defeated opponent George Peryer and PNP candidate Percy Broderick Sr., who felt that Leon’s speech supporting her party colleague Peryer had impaired his chances of election. As a result, Leon’s and Peryer’s election victories were annulled under the then-current election law.
Political Career in the PNP and Assassination
Disillusioned with the JLP’s stance on the West Indies Federation, which supported withdrawal from it, she left the party in 1960 and ran as an independent candidate in the April 10, 1962, elections for the House of Representatives in the St Andrew West Rural constituency. However, she was defeated by candidates from the PNP and JLP, and shortly thereafter joined Manley’s PNP.
After serving as Vice Mayor of Kingston between 1971 and 1972, she was appointed Minister of Local Government in Prime Minister Michael Manley’s government following the PNP’s victory on March 2, 1972. She held this position until losing her parliamentary seat in the 1976 House of Representatives elections, and afterward, until the end of Manley’s term on November 1, 1980, she served as a special advisor to the Minister of Social Affairs.
After retiring from politics, she focused more on her business interests and also taught at the Leon School of Beauty Culture until her death. Rose Agatha Leon was murdered during a break-in at her house.

Vincenzo Rustici
|
Vincenzo Rustici (Siena, 1556 – Siena, 1632) was an Italian painter active in Siena. He was known for his religious compositions as well as his vedute showing public celebrations in Siena.
Life
Precise details about the life and career of Vincenzo Rustici are scarce.
He was born in Siena in 1556 in an artistic family of architects and artists originally from Piacenza who had settled in Siena in the 16th century. His father Lorenzo, known as Il Rustico or Lorenzo di Cristoforo Rustici, was a prominent Renaissance painter of stucco and grotesque decorations. His older brother Cristoforo, also known as Il Rusticcone (1552 - 1641), was also a painter.
After his sister Aurelia married the eminent Sienese painter Alessandro Casolani in 1582, Rustici probably started working in the workshop of his brother-in-law. He may have executed in the studio works destined for a less demanding clientele. Upon the death of Casolani in 1606, he completed Casolani’s Resurrection of Lazarus in the Basilica of Saint Francis in Siena. Alessandro Casolani himself was influenced by the work of Domenico Beccafumi.
His son Francesco trained with him and was one of the leading followers of Caravaggio working in Siena. In the period during which his son Francesco worked in his workshop, Vincenzo Rustici's hand was initially difficult to distinguish from that of his son.
In December 1616, Vincenzo Rustici was commissioned to repaint three of the original fresco’s of Pinturicchio in the Chapel of Saint John the Baptist in the Siena Cathedral.
Work
Vincenzo Rustici was a painter of history subjects as well as vedute, i.e. city views. He worked mainly in Siena, where his best-known works are preserved.
He is now mainly known for two canvases depicting respectively the Palio di Siena (a downtown horse race with bull hunt) and the Procession of the Contrade in the Piazza del Campo held on 15 August 1546 (Palazzo Salimbeni, Collection of the Banca Monte dei Paschi, Siena). These works provide an important record of these public festivities at the time. Vincenzo Rustici relied on a description in a contemporary letter by Cecchino Cartaio (‘Cecchino the Stationer’) to create these canvases years after the events depicted in them occurred. These paintings were originally preserved in the Villa del Poggio Imperiale in Florence, where they are documented as early as 1654.
Rustici created a number of depictions of the Madonna and Child with saints, a subject popular with Sienese artists such as Casolani. An example is the Madonna and Child with Saints Augustine, John the Evangelist and Joseph (Sotheby's auction 9 June 2011 in New York, lot 31), which has been attributed to Rustici on stylistic grounds as the facial type of the Virgin corresponds closely to Vincenzo's signed Pietà in Siena. Another example is the Madonna and Child with St John the Baptist, which appears to deliberately cite interpretations of the same theme by 15th century painters active in Siena such as the Master of the Story of Griselda.

Vincenzo Rustici (* 1556 in Siena; † 1632 ebenda) war ein italienischer Maler, der im Stil der Schule von Siena malte.
Leben
Seine Ausbildung erhielt er von Alessandro Casolani, mit dem er das Werk Resurrezione di Lazzaro in der Basilica di San Francesco (Siena) erstellte. Neben seinen Tätigkeiten in Siena war er auch in der Chiesa di San Paolo a Carteano in Prato aktiv.
Zu seinen bekanntesten Darstellungen gehören die beiden Gemälde (Öl auf Leinwand), die 1585 entstanden und den Palio di Siena vom 15. August 1546 wiedergeben. Caccia dei tori in Piazza del Campo (126 × 196 cm, dt. Stierjagd) stellt dabei eine Vorgängerveranstaltung des Corteo storico (historischer Umzug) dar, der nur von 1499 bis 1597 stattfand.
Das zweite Bild des Gemäldepaares, Sfilata delle Contrade in Piazza del Campo (126 × 192 cm, dt. Aufstellung der Contraden), stellt den Corteo storico dar, wobei als einzige Contrade die der Tartuca abwesend ist.
Beide Gemälde wurden zunächst in der Villa Medici Poggio Imperiale in Florenz aufbewahrt und dort bereits 1654 dokumentiert und befinden sich heute im Besitz der Kollektion Monte dei Paschi di Siena im Palazzo Salimbeni (Sala del Palio).
Zu seinen Schülern gehörte sein Neffe Ilario Casolani.

Among his most well-known representations are the two paintings (oil on canvas) created in 1585, depicting the Palio di Siena from August 15, 1546. Caccia dei tori in Piazza del Campo (126 × 196 cm, German: Bull Hunt) depicts a predecessor event of the Corteo storico (historical parade), which was held only from 1499 to 1597.
The second painting of the pair, Sfilata delle Contrade in Piazza del Campo (126 × 192 cm, German: Parade of the Contrade), depicts the Corteo storico, with the only Contrade absent being Tartuca.
Both paintings were initially kept in the Villa Medici Poggio Imperiale in Florence, documented there as early as 1654, and are now part of the Monte dei Paschi di Siena collection in the Palazzo Salimbeni (Sala del Palio).
One of his students was his nephew Ilario Casolani.

H. Carl Andersen
|
Herman Carl Andersen (January 27, 1897 – July 26, 1978) was a U.S. Representative from Minnesota.
Background
Herman Carl Andersen was born in Newcastle, Washington. He was the son of Charles Carl Andersen (1858-1940?) and Lorena Nielson (1868–1946). Charles C. Andersen had emigrated from Denmark to the United States in the late 1870s. The family moved to a farm near Tyler, Minnesota in 1901. Andersen's father returned to mining and became superintendent of a large coal mine owned by Northern Pacific Railway at Red Lodge, Montana, where Andersen graduated from high school in 1913. He attended the University of Washington and later the U.S. Naval Academy. While aboard the battleship in 1917, a gun blast partially impaired his hearing and he was unable to qualify for further service.
Career
Andersen engaged in cattle raising and agricultural pursuits 1919 – 1925 and as a civil engineer 1925 – 1930. From 1926 to 1928 he was employed in the Muscle Shoals, Alabama. He resumed agricultural pursuits near Tyler, Minnesota, 1930 – 1938. He served as member of the Minnesota House of Representatives for one term from 1935 to 1937. He was elected as a Republican to the 76th, 77th, 78th, 79th, 80th, 81st, 82nd, 83rd, 84th, 85th, 86th and 87th congresses from 1939 to 1963. Andersen voted in favor of the Civil Rights Acts of 1957 and 1960, but voted present on the 24th Amendment to the U.S. Constitution.
In the 1962 election, his district was eliminated as part of redistricting. He also faced backlash from the Republican party related to a business deal with fraudster Billie Sol Estes. He lost the Republican primary election to Robert J. Odegard (who in turn lost to Democrat Alec G. Olson in the general election) and did not return to politics.
Later years
After leaving politics, Andersen retired to Falls Church, Virginia where he ran a small business and managed his farming interests in Minnesota. He died in 1978. He was cremated and his ashes interred in Danebod Lutheran Cemetery in Tyler, Minnesota.

Herman Carl Andersen (* 27. Januar 1897 in Newcastle, Washington; † 26. Juli 1978 in Arlington, Virginia) war ein US-amerikanischer Politiker. Zwischen 1939 und 1963 vertrat er den Bundesstaat Minnesota im US-Repräsentantenhaus.
Werdegang
Im Jahr 1901 zog Herman Andersen als Kind mit seinen Eltern in das Lincoln County in Minnesota. Dort ließ sich die Familie in der Nähe von Tyler nieder. Andersen besuchte die öffentlichen Schulen seiner neuen Heimat und absolvierte später die University of Washington sowie die US-Marineakademie in Annapolis (Maryland).
Zwischen 1919 und 1925 befasste er sich mit landwirtschaftlichen Angelegenheiten. Hierbei war er vor allem auf dem Gebiet der Viehzucht tätig. Von 1925 bis 1930 arbeitete er als Ingenieur, danach bis 1938 wieder in der Landwirtschaft. Im Jahr 1935 wurde er als Mitglied der Republikanischen Partei in das Repräsentantenhaus von Minnesota gewählt. Bei den Kongresswahlen des Jahres 1938 wurde er im siebten Wahlbezirk von Minnesota in das US-Repräsentantenhaus in Washington, D.C. gewählt, wo er am 3. Januar 1939 die Nachfolge des ihm zuvor unterlegenen Paul John Kvale von der Farmer-Labor Party antrat.
Nach elf Wiederwahlen konnte Andersen bis zum 3. Januar 1963 zwölf zusammenhängende Legislaturperioden im Kongress absolvieren. Dort wurden zunächst noch einige New-Deal-Gesetze verabschiedet. Zwischen 1941 und 1945 überschattete der Zweite Weltkrieg auch die Arbeit des Kongresses. In den folgenden Jahren erlebte Andersen den Beginn des Kalten Krieges, den Koreakrieg und den Beginn des Vietnamkrieges. Während Andersens Zeit im Kongress wurden dort auch der 22. und der 23. Verfassungszusatz verabschiedet.
Im Jahr 1962 wurde Andersen von seiner Partei nicht mehr für eine weitere Amtszeit im US-Repräsentantenhaus nominiert. Danach zog er sich aus der Politik zurück. Herman Andersen verbrachte seine letzten Lebensjahre in Falls Church (Virginia). Er starb am 26. Juli 1978 in Arlington.

Career
In 1901, Herman Andersen moved with his parents to Lincoln County in Minnesota as a child. The family settled near Tyler. Andersen attended the public schools of his new hometown and later graduated from the University of Washington as well as the U.S. Naval Academy in Annapolis (Maryland).
From 1919 to 1925, he was involved in agricultural affairs, primarily in the field of livestock. From 1925 to 1930, he worked as an engineer, then returned to agriculture until 1938. In 1935, he was elected to the Minnesota House of Representatives as a member of the Republican Party. In the 1938 congressional elections, he was elected from Minnesota's seventh district to the U.S. House of Representatives in Washington, D.C., where he succeeded the previously defeated Paul John Kvale of the Farmer-Labor Party on January 3, 1939.
After eleven re-elections, Andersen served twelve consecutive terms in Congress until January 3, 1963. During this time, some New Deal legislation was still passed. Between 1941 and 1945, World War II overshadowed the work of Congress. In the following years, Andersen experienced the beginning of the Cold War, the Korean War, and the start of the Vietnam War. During Andersen's time in Congress, the 22nd and 23rd Amendments to the Constitution were also ratified.
In 1962, Andersen was no longer nominated by his party for another term in the U.S. House of Representatives. Afterwards, he withdrew from politics. Herman Andersen spent his final years in Falls Church, Virginia. He died on July 26, 1978, in Arlington.

Ülkü Tamer (* 20. Februar 1937 in Gaziantep; † 1. April 2018 in Bodrum) war ein türkischer Lyriker, Erzähler und literarischer Übersetzer.
Ülkü Tamer besuchte das renommierte Robert College in Istanbul und graduierte 1958. Es folgte der Besuch des Gazetecilik Enstitüsü, des Istanbuler Instituts für Journalismus.
Tamer war neben seiner Tätigkeit als Dichter auch als Schauspieler, Verlags- und Zeitungsredakteur, Lektor und Übersetzer aktiv. Seit etwa 1954 verfasste er Gedichte, die, wie Gero von Wilpert vermerkte, mit „überraschenden Bildern“ arbeiten. Sie sind der „ Zweiten Neuen“ in der türkischen Lyrik zuzuordnen, einer Gegenbewegung zur sogenannten „Ersten Neuen“ Dichtergruppe, der Garip.
Neben zahlreichen Gedichtbänden ab 1959 veröffentlichte Tamer auch einen Band mit Erzählungen. Von seinen Übersetzungen (Auswahl: Brüder Grimm, Peter Weiss, Lermontow, Steinbeck, Wilde, Aitmatov, Tschechow, Hemingway oder Edith Hamiltons Mythology) ist die des Romans Harry Potter und der Stein der Weisen mit dem Titel Harry Potter ve felsefe taşı hervorzuheben.

Ülkü Tamer (born February 20, 1937, in Gaziantep; died April 1, 2018, in Bodrum) was a Turkish poet, storyteller, and literary translator.
Ülkü Tamer attended the renowned Robert College in Istanbul and graduated in 1958. He then attended the Gazetecilik Enstitüsü, the Istanbul Institute for Journalism.
In addition to his work as a poet, Tamer was also active as an actor, publisher and newspaper editor, editor, and translator. Since around 1954, he has been writing poems that, as Gero von Wilpert noted, work with "surprising images." They are classified as part of the "Second New" in Turkish poetry, a counter-movement to the so-called "First New" poet group, Garip.
In addition to numerous poetry collections starting in 1959, Tamer also published a collection of stories. Among his translations (selected: Brothers Grimm, Peter Weiss, Lermontov, Steinbeck, Wilde, Aitmatov, Chekhov, Hemingway, or Edith Hamilton's Mythology), the translation of the novel Harry Potter and the Philosopher's Stone, titled Harry Potter ve felsefe taşı, is noteworthy.

Lucho Gatica
|
Luis Enrique Gatica Silva (11 August 1928 – 13 November 2018), better known as Lucho Gatica was a Chilean bolero singer, film actor, and television host known as "the King of Bolero". He is widely considered one of the greatest and most influential exponents of the bolero and one of the most popular of all time worldwide. It is estimated that Gatica released more than 90 recordings. He toured across the world, performing in Europe, the Middle East and Asia. He was the uncle of the record producer Humberto Gatica.
Biography
Lucho Gatica was born in Rancagua. He attended school at the Instituto O'Higgins. He and his brother Arturo were struggling singers before they released their first album in 1949, when Gatica was 21 years old.
Chileans generally experienced a change in their taste in music during the 1950s, when the bolero overtook the tango as Chileans' preferred music genre. Singers like Cuba's Olga Guillot, and Argentinian Leo Marini and Mexican Elvira Ríos, among others became popular during there that time. So were Xavier Cugat and his orchestra, which included Puerto Rican Bobby Capó. These singers would influence Gatica.
Gatica's first record, 1951's "Me importas tú" (You Matter to Me), became a hit across Latin America. The next year he released "Contigo en la distancia" (With You in the Distance). Gatica recorded his version of Consuelo Velázquez's "Bésame mucho" (Kiss Me a Lot) in 1953. He produced two more albums that year: Las Muchachas de la Plaza España (The Girls from Spain Square) and Sinceridad (Sincerity). The following year his hit "Sinceridad" was released.
Gatica moved to Mexico in 1957, where he recorded and released No me platiques más (Don't Talk to me Anymore), Tú me acostumbraste (You Accustomed Me) and Voy a apagar la Luz (I'm Turning the Lights Off), which was released in 1959. In 1956, Gatica's songs were recorded in the United States on LP for the first time by Capitol Records. Three albums were released within 14 months by Capitol. The third one in that group with Capitol was El Gran Gatica, which featured such songs as "Somos" ("We Are"), "Sabrá Dios" ("God Will Know"), and Si me comprendieras ("If You Understood Me"). One of the three Gatica albums released in 1958 was a greatest hits compilation; the third was named Envenenados (The Poisoned). He also recorded a song entitled "Encadenados" (Chained).
After arriving in Mexico, Gatica decided to become a permanent resident there. He married Puerto Rican actress Mapita Cortés, who also resided in Mexico. The couple had two sons named Luis and Alfredo. Gatica became a telenovela and rock star during the 1980s; his son Alfredo became a music entrepreneur. Gatica divorced Cortés in 1981. The following year he married Diane Lane Schmidt and had a daughter named Lily; Schmidt died in 1985. He then married his last wife, Leslie Deeb, in 1986. Altogether he had seven children.
In 2001, Gatica was inducted into the International Latin Music Hall of Fame. In the same year, his renditions of "La Barca" and "El Reloj" were inducted into the Latin Grammy Hall of Fame. Gatica himself was one of the recipients of the Latin Grammy Lifetime Achievement Award in 2007. He also received a star on the Hollywood Walk of Fame for Recording in 2008.

Lucho Gatica (Luis Enrique Gatica Silva; * 11. August 1928 in Rancagua; † 13. November 2018 in Mexiko-Stadt) war ein chilenischer Sänger.
Karriere
Gatica hatte seine ersten Auftritte als Sänger im Teatro Apolo seiner Heimatstadt als Duopartner seines älteren Bruders Arturo Gatica, der ihm auch erste Plattenaufnahmen bei Odeon ermöglichte. Bekannt wurde er mit Boleros wie Contigo en la distancia, En Nosotros und Sinceridad. Internationale Erfolge in Lateinamerika, Portugal und Spanien hatte er dann mit Titeln wie El Reloj, La Barca, Novia Mia und No Me Platiques.
Seine erste internationale Tournee startete Gatica 1954 mit dem Orchester von Roberto Inglés in Buenos Aires. Sie führte ihn über Uruguay und Brasilien bis nach London, wo er bei der BBC auftrat und Aufnahmen bei Parlaphone einspielte, darunter den berühmten Titel Bésame mucho. Mitte der 1950er Jahre trat er wochenlang in Havanna im überfüllten Blanquita Theater, dem zweitgrößten Konzertsaal Kubas, und im Tropicana Night Club auf und debütierte im Fernsehen.
1956 ging er zu weiteren Plattenaufnahmen nach Mexiko und wirkte dort in vier Spielfilmen mit. 1959 wurde er auf dem Flughafen von Madrid von 5000 Fans begrüßt. Zu seinen Auftritten kamen Angehörige des Königshauses ebenso wie Politiker und Filmstars. Aus dieser Zeit datierte auch seine Freundschaft mit Ava Gardner. Es schlossen sich Auftritte im Casino Estoril in Portugal an.
Anfang der 1960er Jahre hatte Gatica bereits 22 Millionen Tonträger weltweit verkauft. Nach einem Konzert im Araneta Coliseum in Manila vor 160.000 Zuschauern 1964 folgte ein Auftritt in der New Yorker Carnegie Hall mit einem Sinfonieorchester unter Leitung von Lalo Schifrin. Danach hatte er einen Auftritt mit Nat King Cole in der Hollywood Bowl, spielte mit Nelson Riddle und seinem Orchester englischsprachige Titel für Capitol Records ein und war Gast in den Fernsehshows von Dinah Shore, Perry Como und Patti Page.
Zahlreiche weitere Plattenaufnahmen und Konzertreisen (u. a. in den Nahen Osten und nach Japan) folgten in den 1960er, 1970er und 1980er Jahren. Das Doppelalbum Bolero is…Lucho Gatica, das EMI Spanien 1991 produzierte, wurde in zwei Wochen 400.000 Mal verkauft. 1993 erschien bei BMG das Album 40 Years Singing About Love. Bei einer zweistündigen Sendung von HBO 1996 zu seinen Ehren trat Gatica u. a. mit Julio Iglesias, Celia Cruz, Luis Miguel und Juan Gabriel auf.
Neben mehreren Goldenen und Platin-Schallplatten erhielt Gatica u. a. die Medaille des Kongresses von Ecuador, die Santa Cruz Triana de O’Higgins des chilenischen Staates und 1992 die Gaviota de Oro beim Festival de Viña del Mar. 2007 überreichte ihm die chilenische Präsidentin Michelle Bachelet die Goldmedaille des chilenischen Komponistenverbandes. 2008 wurde ihm für sein Lebenswerk in Las Vegas
ein Latin Grammy verliehen, und er erhielt einen Stern auf dem Hollywood Walk of Fame.
Gatica starb im November 2018 in Mexiko, wo er seit 1957 lebte, im Alter von 90 Jahren.

Nounkeu kam in der kamerunischen Hauptstadt Yaoundé auf die Welt. Hier begann mit dem Vereinsfußball in der Jugend seines Heimatvereins Collège Vogt Atletic. Mit neunzehn Jahren wechselte er in die Reservemannschaft von FC Metz. 2006 heuerte er beim französischen Amateurverein CSO Amnéville an. Hier spielte er zwei Spielzeiten und kam zu 16 Ligaeinsätzen. 2008/09 wechselte er zum französischen Viertligisten FC Pau. Hier kam er in einer Saison auf 24 Einsätze und wurde während dieser Saison von mehreren Scouts beobachtet. Folglich wechselte nach einem Jahr bei FC Pau zum französischen Spitzenklub Toulouse FC. In Toulouse wurde er regelmäßig eingesetzt und machte so 18 Ligaspiele. Zur Spielzeit 2010/11 einigte er sich mit dem türkischen Erstligisten Gaziantepspor und wechselte in die türkische Süper Lig. Nach anfänglichen Umstellungsproblemen eroberte er sich im November 2010 einen Stammplatz im Profi-Team und zählt seitdem zu den Leistungsträgern seines Teams. Am 8. Juni 2012 wurde der Transfer von Dany Nounkeu zu Galatasaray Istanbul offiziell bekanntgegeben. Er unterschrieb für vier Jahre und Galatasaray zahlte an Gaziantepspor eine Ablösesumme von 3,3 Millionen €. Sein erstes Pflichtspiel für die Rot-Gelben absolvierte er am 13.

Kurz vor dem Ende der Wintertransferperiode der Saison 2013/14 wurde Nounkeu für ein halbes Jahr an den Stadtrivalen Beşiktaş Istanbul verliehen. Beşiktaş Istanbul besaß für ihn eine Kaufoption, mit einer Ablöse von 1,8 Millionen Euro, die bis zum 31. Mai 2014 gültig war. Seit der Saison 2014/2015 ist Nounkeu beim FC Granada unter Vertrag. Bislang blieb er allerdings ohne Einsatz. Nachdem er im Sommer 2014 für die Dauer für einer Saison an FC Granada ausgeliehen wurde, kehrte er zur Winterpause 2014/15 vorzeitig zu Galatasaray zurück und wurde anschließend für die Rückrunde an den französischen Klub FC Évian Thonon Gaillard ausgeliehen. Zur Saison 2015/16 löste Galatasaray den Vertrag mit Nounkeu auf. Bursaspor verpflichtete ihn ablösefrei. Bereits nach einer Saison zog er innerhalb der türkischen Süper Lig zu Kardemir Karabükspor weiter. In der Winterpause 2017/18 folgte dann der Wechsel zu Ligakonkurrent Akhisar Belediyespor. Dort blieb er anderthalb Spielzeiten, war dann ein Jahr vereinslos und schloss sich im Dezember 2020 Erstligist AS Arta/Solar7 aus Dschibuti an, wo er am Ende der Saison die Meisterschaft feiern konnte. Anschließend spielte Nounkeu mit dem Verein in der CAF Champions League, schied jedoch schon in der ersten Runde mit 1:1 und 0:3 gegen den Tusker FC aus.

Philippe Starck
|
Philippe Starck (; born 18 January 1949) is a French industrial architect and designer known for his wide range of designs, including interior design, architecture, household objects, furniture, boats and other vehicles.
Life
Starck was born on 18 January 1949 in Paris. He is the son of André Starck, who was an aeronautics engineer. He says that his father often inspired him because he was an engineer, who made invention a "duty". His family was originally from and lived in the Alsace region, before his grandfather moved to Paris. He studied at the École Nissim de Camondo in Paris.
Career
While working for Adidas, Starck set up his first industrial design company, Starck Product, which he later renamed Ubik after Philip K. Dick's novel, and began working with manufacturers in Italy including Driade, Alessi, Kartell, and internationally, including Drimmer in Austria, Vitra in Switzerland and Disform in Spain.
In 1983, then-French President François Mitterrand, on the recommendation of his Minister of Culture, Jack Lang, chose Starck to refurbish the president's private apartments at the Élysée. The following year he designed the Café Costes.
Starck's output expanded to include furniture, decoration, architecture, street furniture, industry (wind turbines, photo booths), bathroom fittings, kitchens, floor, and wall coverings, lighting, domestic appliances, office equipment such as staplers, utensils, tableware, clothing, accessories, toys, glassware, graphic design and publishing, food, and vehicles for land, sea, air and space.
Architecture
The buildings he designed in Japan, starting in 1989, went against the grain of traditional forms. The first, Nani Nani, in Tokyo, was described as a biomorphic shed.
A year later he designed the Asahi Beer Hall in Tokyo, a building topped with a golden flame. This was followed in 1992 by Le Baron Vert office complex in Osaka. In France he designed the extension of the École Nationale Supérieure des Arts Décoratifs (ENSAD) in Paris (1998).
In 1991, Starck designed one of the pavilions for the new Groninger Museum.
Since the late 1980s, Starck has designed several hotels in different countries, these include the Royalton Hotel (1988) and the lobby of the Paramount Hotel (1990) in New York City, the Delano in Miami, the Hudson Hotel
and the Mondrian Hotel in West Hollywood, the Sanderson the Saint Martin's Lane in London, Le Meurice renovations in 2016, the Royal Monceau (2010) as well as more recently the Hotel Brach (2018) and the Hotel 9Confidentiel (2018), in Paris. Also in France, in the South West, Philippe Starck designed La Co(o)rniche and Ha(a)itza hotels, both in Arcachon, near the Dune of Pilat. In 2019, Starck created the Lily of the Valley Hotel on the French Riviera and in 2020, opened La Réserve Eden au Lac Zurich.
Starck has designed several restaurants, including in the early years, the Café Costes (1984) in Paris, Manin (1985) in Tokyo, Theatron (1985) in Mexico City, Teatriz (1990) in Madrid or more recently several restaurants with the Alajmo brothers in Paris, Venice and Milan: Caffe Stern (2014), Amo (2016), Gran Caffe Quadri (2018) and Amor (2019), La Réserve à la Plage in Saint Tropez with Michel Reybier Hospitality, The Avenue at Saks in New York in 2019.
The Alhondiga, a 43,000 square-meter culture and leisure venue in Bilbao designed by Starck, opened in 2010.
Starck also designed affordable and adjustable pre-fabricated P.A.T.H. houses.
Starck was commissioned by the Hilton Worldwide to create entirely a new hotel in Metz, France. Maison Heler is a phantasmagoric building topped by a traditional Alsatian house, a poetic symbol of the region that should open in 2021.
Yachts
In 2002 he designed Wedge Too, which was built by Feadship.
In 2004, commissioned by Russian Oligarch Andrey Melnichenko, Starck designed the Motor Yacht A and then in 2012 the A (sailing yacht), one of the world's largest sailing yachts.
Starck designed the infrastructure for the Port Adriano harbour on the south-west bay of Palma de Mallorca, Mallorca and was artistic director for the interior. It opened in April 2012.
In 2008, he designed Steve Jobs's yacht Venus, which was launched in October 2012, just over a year after the death of Apple's founder. The yacht was built at Aalsmeer in the Netherlands.
Furniture
Zartan, created for Magis in 2010, is a chair entirely made from natural material as bamboo, linen and hemp fiber, a non-toxic and biodegradable alternative to replace plastic.
In 2012, Starck released Broom for Emeco, an anti-waste chair made of materials collected in lumber and plastic plants.
Starck released Cassina Croque la pomme in 2019, a furniture collection for Cassina, entirely made from a vegan fabric, with apple leather.
For Salone del Mobile 2022, Dior Maison invited Starck to reinterpret the timeless Médallion seat.
Technology
In 1996, Starck worked with Alain Mikli to launch Starck Eyes. Bought in 2013 by Luxottica, Starck Eyes becomes Starck Biotech Paris in 2019 and is inspired by the human body to create revolutionary eyewear, merging design with biomechanics.
Starck helped design the Xiaomi Mi MIX smartphone, notable for having a 6.4-inch "whole surface screen".
In 2016, Starck developed a GPS-tracking wristband, DIAL (Individual Alert and Localization Device) for Société nationale de Sauvetage en Mer, which allows endangered people to share their exact location to rescue service whether they are in the sea or in the beach.
In 2018, Starck collaborated with Axiom Space and created the interior of the International Space Station's housing module. A comfortable and luxurious living space adapted to weightlessness, with suede-textured walls, big windows to appreciate the view and all the technology needed to stay connected.
In 2019, the so-called AI chair was presented to the public. Starck cooperated with experts of the 3D software company Autodesk and created a chair design with help of an Artificial Intelligence.
Collections
Starck's work is seen in the collections of European and American museums, including the Musée National d'Art Moderne (to which he has donated several pieces, in particular prototypes) the Musée des Arts Décoratifs in Paris, the MOMA and the Brooklyn Museum in New York City, the Vitra Design Museum in Basel and the Design Museum in London. More than 660 of his designs were inventoried in French public collections in 2011.
Philosophy
Democratic design
Starck's concept of democratic design led him to focus on mass-produced consumer goods rather than one-off pieces, seeking ways to reduce cost and improve quality in mass market goods.
Through his "democratic design" concept, Starck has campaigned for well-designed objects that are not just aimed at upper-tiered incomes. He has expressed this as a utopian ideal, approached in practice by increasing production quantities to cut costs and by using mail-order, via Les 3 Suisses. In 1998, Starck established the Good Goods catalogue with La Redoute, proposing 170 sustainable and respectful everyday life objects "for the future moral market". In 2000 he worked with Target Stores and proposed a collection of more than 50 products.
Starck released Ideas Box in 2011 for Bibliothèques Sans Frontières. These kit media libraries give the refugee populations access to culture and information. They can be installed anywhere around the world and provide screens, books, games, cameras etc.
Starck has been involved in the development of Fluocaril toothbrushes and Laguiole Knives.
Alongside his work, Starck partnered with Moustache Bikes for the M.A.S.S. (Mud, Asphalt, Sand and Snow). This is a portfolio of four e-bikes that use a Bosch electrical engine and battery pack.
In January 2013, Starck redesigned the Navigo travel pass.

Philippe-Patrick Starck (* 18. Januar 1949 in Paris) ist ein französischer Designer und Architekt.
Leben
Starck wurde am 18. Januar 1949 in Paris geboren. Er ist der Sohn von Andre Starck, der Ingenieur für Luftfahrttechnik war. Er sagt, sein Vater habe ihn oft inspiriert, weil er ein Ingenieur war, der das Erfinden zur „Pflicht“ machte. Philippe Starck studierte an der École Camondo in Paris. 1965 gewann er den Möbelwettbewerb „La Vilette“ und gründete 1968 eine Firma für aufblasbare Objekte. 1971 wurde er künstlerischer Leiter im Studio Pierre Cardin. 1980 gründete er die Firma Starck Products.
1982 gestaltete er die Privaträume des damaligen Staatspräsidenten François Mitterrand im Élysée-Palast. Er wurde zum gefeierten Stardesigner der 1980er, vor allem in den USA und in Japan. Die Inneneinrichtung für das Café Costes in Paris (1984, geschlossen 1994) wurde weltberühmt.
Karriere
Von Restaurants bis zu Hotels, von Möbeln bis zu Raummodulen hat der französische Designer Philippe Starck mehr als 10.000 Entwürfen seinen Stempel aufgedrückt. Während seiner Tätigkeit für Adidas gründete Starck seine erste Industriedesignfirma, Starck Product, die er später nach dem Roman von Philip K. Dick in Ubik umbenannte. Er begann mit Herstellern in Italien (Driade), Alessi, Kartell und auch international zu arbeiten. Unter den Herstellern waren Drimmer in Österreich, Vitra in der Schweiz und Disform in Spanien. Sein Konzept des demokratischen Designs führte dazu, dass er sich auf massenproduzierte Konsumgüter statt auf Einzelstücke konzentrierte und nach Wegen suchte, die Kosten zu senken und die Qualität von Massenmarktgütern zu verbessern. Starck kooperierte dabei auch mit dem französischen Versandhändler 3 Suisses.
1983 wählte der französische Präsident François Mitterrand Starck auf Empfehlung seines Kulturministers Jack Lang, um die Privatwohnungen des Präsidenten im Élysée zu renovieren. Im folgenden Jahr gestaltete er das Café Costes.
Starcks Design erweiterte sich auf Möbel, Dekoration, Architektur, Stadtmobiliar, Industrie (Windkraftanlagen, Fotokabinen), Badarmaturen, Küchen, Boden- und Wandbeläge, Beleuchtung, Haushaltsgeräte, Büroausstattung wie Heftgeräte, Utensilien, Geschirr, Kleidung, Accessoires, Spielzeug, Glaswaren, Grafikdesign und Verlagswesen, Lebensmittel und Fahrzeuge für Land, See, Luft und Raum.
Im Jahr 2018 begann er für das Raumfahrtsunternehmen Axiom Space mit dem Entwurf der Innenräume für das Wohnmodul der ersten kommerziellen Raumstation der Welt, die 2020 eröffnet werden sollte.
Privatleben
Starck hat fünf Kinder aus vier Ehen. Seine Tochter Ara Starck ist Malerin und entstammt der Ehe mit der Rechtsanwältin Brigitte Starck. Mit seiner zweiten Frau, der Französin Patricia, hat er den Sohn Oa, und mit seiner dritten Frau, der Amerikanerin Nori, den Sohn Lago und die Tochter K. Starck behauptet, die Namen seiner Kinder nach dem Zufallsprinzip mit Hilfe eines EDV-Programms auszuwählen. Seit 2007 ist er mit Jasmine Abdellatif verheiratet.
Werke
Philippe Starck verwendet oft organische Formen. Einer der bekanntesten Produktentwürfe ist die einteilige, raketenförmige Zitronenpresse Juicy Salif (1990) aus Aluminium für den italienischen Hersteller Alessi. Sie wurde international beachtet und mit Begriffen wie „Designklassiker“ belegt. Im Vordergrund standen dabei nicht die funktionalen Qualitäten als Zitronenpresse: Die spitzen Füße bohren sich in die Arbeitsplatte und es gibt kein Sieb, um die Kerne aufzufangen.
Weitere bekannte Werke sind das Motorrad Motó 6.5 des Herstellers Aprilia, Armaturen- und Brausenkollektionen für Axor, die Designermarke der Hansgrohe SE, Starck Eyes-Brillen von Alain Mikli, eine Schuhkollektion mit dem Sportartikelhersteller Puma, Sanitärkeramik für Duravit und Badewannen für Hoesch, der Sessel/das Sofa Bubble Club sowie die Sessel Louis Ghost für Kartell, Lampen bei FLOS, eine Computermaus für Microsoft, die für Links- wie auch Rechtshänder geeignet ist, oder die Marie Coquine Lampe für Baccarat. 2008 präsentierte er eine Windmühle und eine modulare Duschkollektion auf der Internationalen Möbelmesse in Mailand. Die Motoryacht A wurde 2008 von Starck entworfen. Er designte auch die Kopfhörer des französischen Herstellers Parrot, die unter der Produktbezeichnung Zik vertrieben werden.
Nach eigener Aussage ist sein Designprinzip das Prinzip der Reduktion, oder „Ethik des Weglassens“, er vermeidet unnötiges Dekor.
2010 wurde der Stuhl Zartan für Magis entwickelt. Dieser besteht vollständig aus natürlichen Materialien wie Bambus, Leinen und Hanffasern und stellt eine ungiftige und biologisch abbaubare Alternative zu Plastik dar.
Im Jahr 2012 brachte Starck den Broom für Emeco heraus, einen Anti-Abfall-Stuhl, der aus Materialien hergestellt wird, die in Holz- und Plastikfabriken gesammelt werden.
Im April 2012 gab Starck bekannt, dass er an einem „revolutionären“ Produkt für Apple arbeite; später wurde bekannt, dass es sich dabei um die Luxusyacht Venus für den 2011 verstorbenen Apple CEO Steve Jobs handelte.
2019 wurde das Projekt des sogenannten „KI-Stuhls“ bekannt. Ein Team des US-amerikanischen 3D-Software-Experten Autodesk und Philippe Stark haben gemeinsam den – nach Angaben der Beteiligten – ersten „von künstlicher Intelligenz und Menschen gemeinsam entwickelten Stuhl“ erschaffen, den sogenannten A.I.Chair.
Ebenfalls 2019 brachte Starck die Möbelkollektion Cassina Croque La Pomme für Cassina S.p.A. heraus; die Sitzmöbel sind mit einem nicht-tierischen Stoff aus Apfelleder bezogen.
Für die Mailänder Möbelmesse 2022 lud Dior Maison Starck ein, den Médallion-Sessel neu zu interpretieren – er entwarf den Miss Dior-Stuhl, der mit einer eleganten Konstruktion und virtuoser Handwerkskunst eine Hommage an eine ausgeprägte Weiblichkeit darstellt.
Architektur
Philipe Starck beschäftigt sich im Rahmen seiner Rolle als Architekt mit dem Entwerfen, Gestalten und Konstruieren von Bauwerken, sowie mit der ästhetischen Auseinandersetzung des Menschen mit dem gebauten Raum.
Die Gebäude, die er ab 1989 in Japan plante, liefen den traditionellen Formen zuwider. Das erste, Nani Nani, in Tokio, wurde als biomorpher Schuppen beschrieben. Ein Jahr später entwarf er die Asahi Beer Hall in Tokio, ein Gebäude, das von einer goldenen Flamme gekrönt wurde. Es folgte 1992 der Bürokomplex Le Baron Vert in Osaka. In Frankreich plante er die Erweiterung der École nationale supérieure des arts décoratifs (ENSAD) in Paris (1998).
Im Jahr 1991 entwarf er einen der Pavillons für das neue Groninger Museum.
Starck plante auch erschwingliche und anpassbare vorgefertigte P.A.T.H.-Häuser.
Er entwarf die Infrastruktur für den Hafen Port Adriano in der südwestlichen Bucht von Palma de Mallorca und war künstlerischer Leiter für den Innenbereich. Er wurde im April 2012 eröffnet.
Im Jahr 2014 wurde in Montpellier das von Starck entworfene Gebäude "Le Nuage" eingeweiht. Es bietet einen 3000 Quadratmeter großen Fit- und Wellnessbereich mit Pool. Außerdem verfügt es über ein Café und einen Kinderbereich, die mit ebenfalls von Starck entworfenen Möbeln ausgestattet sind.
Architektur (Interiors)
Auch beim Entwerfen von Inneneinrichtungen hat sich Starck einen Namen gemacht, beispielsweise durch seine Arbeit für den ehemaligen französischen Präsidenten François Mitterrand oder sein Konzept des „Salon d’eau“ aus dem Jahr 1994, das er zusammen mit Axor/Hansgrohe, Duravit und Hoesch umgesetzt hat. Für den Kölner Taschen-Verlag entwarf Starck die Flagship-Stores in London, Los Angeles und Paris. Mit dem Projektentwickler John Hitchcox vertreibt Starck seit 1999 unter der Marke Yoo weltweit Wohnobjekte.
Architektur (Exteriors)
Starck beschreibt seine Architektur als Dematerialisation. Sie soll Erlebnisse schaffen und den Menschen echte Mehrwerte bieten. Seine Entwürfe wurden weltweit umgesetzt. Dazu zählen zum Beispiel das 2018 errichtete Hotel und Restaurant Brach in Paris; ebenso zählen dazu unter anderem Fertighäuser, Wohneinheiten, öffentliche Gebäude, und Bürogebäude.
Hotels, Restaurants und kulturelle Einrichtungen
Seit Ende der 1980er Jahre hat Starck eine Reihe von Hotels in verschiedenen Ländern entworfen, darunter das Royalton Hotel (1988) und das Paramount-Hotel [1990] in New York City, das Delano in Miami, das Hudson Hotel und das Mondrian Hotel in West Hollywood, das Sanderson die Saint Martin’s Lane in London, das Le Meurice, das Royal Monceau in Paris u. a.
Starck hat mehrere Restaurants entworfen, darunter das Café Costes (1984) in Paris, das Manin (1985) in Tokio, das Theatron (1985) in Mexiko-Stadt, das Teatriz (1990) in Madrid oder The Avenue in New York City.
Die Alhondiga, ein 43.000 Quadratmeter großes Kultur- und Freizeitzentrum in Bilbao, wurde 2010 eröffnet.
Ausstellungen
Starcks Arbeiten sind in den Ausstellungen europäischer und amerikanischer Museen zu sehen, darunter das Musée National d’Art Moderne, dem er mehrere Exponate, insbesondere Prototypen, gestiftet hat, das Musée des Arts Décoratifs in Paris, und das Brooklyn Museum in New York City, das Vitra Design Museum in Basel und das Design Museum in London. Mehr als 660 seiner Entwürfe wurden 2011 in öffentlichen französischen Sammlungen inventarisiert.
Auszeichnungen
1999 wurde er als Designer des Jahres von der Zeitschrift A&W Architektur & Wohnen geehrt.
2001 erhielt er den Compasso d’Oro für seine für Kartell entworfene Sofa- und Sesselserie Bubble Club.
2004 wurde er mit dem Lucky Strike Designer Award der Raymond-Loewy-Stiftung ausgezeichnet.

Philippe-Patrick Starck (* January 18, 1949, in Paris) is a French designer and architect.
Life
Starck was born on January 18, 1949, in Paris. He is the son of Andre Starck, who was an aerospace engineer. He says that his father often inspired him because he was an engineer who made invention a "duty." Philippe Starck studied at the École Camondo in Paris. In 1965, he won the "La Vilette" furniture competition and in 1968 founded a company for inflatable objects. In 1971, he became artistic director at the Pierre Cardin studio. In 1980, he founded the company Starck Products.
In 1982, he designed the private rooms of then-President François Mitterrand in the Élysée Palace. He became a celebrated star designer of the 1980s, especially in the USA and Japan. The interior design for the Café Costes in Paris (1984, closed in 1994) became world-famous.
Career
From restaurants to hotels, from furniture to space modules, French designer Philippe Starck has left his mark on more than 10,000 designs. During his work for Adidas, Starck founded his first industrial design company, Starck Product, which he later renamed Ubik after the novel by Philip K. Dick. He began working with manufacturers in Italy (Driade), Alessi, Kartell, and internationally. Among the manufacturers were Drimmer in Austria, Vitra in Switzerland, and Disform in Spain. His concept of democratic design led him to focus on mass-produced consumer goods rather than one-of-a-kind pieces and to seek ways to reduce costs and improve the quality of mass-market products. Starck also collaborated with the French mail order company 3 Suisses.
In 1983, French President François Mitterrand appointed Starck on the recommendation of his Culture Minister Jack Lang to renovate the president's private apartments in the Élysée. The following year, he designed the Café Costes. Starck's design expanded to furniture, decoration, architecture, urban furniture, industry (wind turbines, photo booths), bathroom fixtures, kitchens, floor and wall coverings, lighting, household appliances, office equipment such as staplers, utensils, tableware, clothing, accessories, toys, glassware, graphic design, publishing, food, and vehicles for land, sea, air, and space. In 2018, he began designing interiors for the living module of the world's first commercial space station, the Axiom Space, which was scheduled to open in 2020.
Private Life
Starck has five children from four marriages. His daughter Ara Starck is a painter and comes from his marriage to lawyer Brigitte Starck. With his second wife, Frenchwoman Patricia, he has a son named Oa, and with his third wife, American Nori, he has a son named Lago and a daughter named K. Starck claims to have chosen his children's names randomly with the help of a computer program. Since 2007, he has been married to Jasmine Abdellatif.
Works
Philippe Starck often uses organic shapes. One of his most famous product designs is the single-piece, rocket-shaped lemon squeezer Juicy Salif (1990) made of aluminum for the Italian manufacturer Alessi. It received international attention and has been called a "design classic." The functional qualities as a lemon squeezer were not the main focus: the pointed feet dig into the countertop, and there is no sieve to catch the seeds.
Other well-known works include the Motó 6.5 motorcycle by Aprilia, faucet and shower collections for Axor, the designer brand of Hansgrohe SE, Starck Eyes glasses by Alain Mikli, a shoe collection with sportswear manufacturer Puma, sanitary ceramics for Duravit, bathtubs for Hoesch, the Bubble Club chair/sofa, and the Louis Ghost chairs for Kartell, lamps for FLOS, a computer mouse suitable for both left- and right-handed users, or the Marie Coquine lamp for Baccarat. In 2008, he presented a windmill and a modular shower collection at the Milan International Furniture Fair. The motor yacht A was designed by Starck in 2008. He also designed the headphones for French manufacturer Parrot, marketed under the name Zik.
According to his own statement, his design principle is the principle of reduction, or "ethics of omission," avoiding unnecessary decoration.
In 2010, the Zartan chair for Magis was developed. It is made entirely from natural materials such as bamboo, linen, and hemp fibers and represents a non-toxic and biodegradable alternative to plastic.
In 2012, Starck released the Broom for Emeco, an anti-waste chair made from materials collected in wood and plastic factories.
In April 2012, Starck announced he was working on a "revolutionary" product for Apple; later it was revealed to be the luxury yacht Venus for the late Apple CEO Steve Jobs, who passed away in 2011.
In 2019, the project of the so-called "AI Chair" became known. A team from American 3D software expert Autodesk and Philippe Starck jointly created what they claim is the first "chair developed jointly by artificial intelligence and humans," called the A.I. Chair.
Also in 2019, Starck launched the furniture collection Cassina Croque La Pomme for Cassina S.p.A.; the seating furniture is covered with a non-animal fabric made from apple leather.
For the Milan Furniture Fair 2022, Dior Maison invited Starck to reinterpret the Médallion chair—he designed the Miss Dior chair, which, with its elegant construction and virtuoso craftsmanship, pays homage to pronounced femininity.
Architecture
Philippe Starck, as an architect, is involved in designing, creating, and constructing buildings, as well as in the aesthetic engagement of humans with built space.
The buildings he planned from 1989 in Japan defied traditional forms. The first, Nani Nani in Tokyo, was described as a biomorphic shed. A year later, he designed the Asahi Beer Hall in Tokyo, topped by a golden flame. In 1992, he designed the Le Baron Vert office complex in Osaka. In France, he planned the expansion of the École nationale supérieure des arts décoratifs (ENSAD) in Paris (1998). In 1991, he designed one of the pavilions for the new Groningen Museum. Starck also designed affordable and customizable prefabricated P.A.T.H. houses. He designed the infrastructure for the Port Adriano harbor in the southwestern bay of Palma de Mallorca and served as artistic director for the interior, which opened in April 2012.
In 2014, the building "Le Nuage" designed by Starck was inaugurated in Montpellier. It offers a 3,000-square-meter fitness and wellness area with a pool. It also features a café and a children's area, furnished with furniture also designed by Starck.
Architecture (Interiors)
Starck has also made a name for himself in interior design, for example through his work for former French President François Mitterrand or his concept of the "Salon d’eau" from 1994, implemented together with Axor/Hansgrohe, Duravit, and Hoesch. For Cologne-based Taschen Verlag, Starck designed flagship stores in London, Los Angeles, and Paris. Since 1999, he has been marketing residential properties worldwide under the brand Yoo, together with developer John Hitchcox.
Architecture (Exteriors)
Starck describes his architecture as dematerialization. It aims to create experiences and offer real added value to people. His designs have been implemented worldwide, including the 2018 hotel and restaurant Brach in Paris, as well as prefabricated houses, residential units, public buildings, and office buildings.
Hotels, Restaurants, and Cultural Institutions
Since the late 1980s, Starck has designed a number of hotels in various countries, including the Royalton Hotel (1988) and the Paramount Hotel (1990) in New York City, the Delano in Miami, the Hudson Hotel and the Mondrian Hotel in West Hollywood, the Sanderson and Saint Martin’s Lane in London, Le Meurice, and the Royal Monceau in Paris, among others. He has designed several restaurants, including Café Costes (1984) in Paris, Manin (1985) in Tokyo, Theatron (1985) in Mexico City, Teatriz (1990) in Madrid, and The Avenue in New York City. The Alhondiga, a 43,000-square-meter cultural and leisure center in Bilbao, was opened in 2010.
Exhibitions
Starck’s work has been displayed in exhibitions at European and American museums, including the Musée National d’Art Moderne, to which he donated several exhibits, especially prototypes; the Musée des Arts Décoratifs in Paris; the Brooklyn Museum in New York City; the Vitra Design Museum in Basel; and the Design Museum in London. More than 660 of his designs were cataloged in public French collections in 2011.
Awards
In 1999, he was honored as Designer of the Year by the magazine A&W Architektur & Wohnen. In 2001, he received the Compasso d’Oro for his sofa and armchair series Bubble Club designed for Kartell. In 2004, he was awarded the Lucky Strike Designer Award by the Raymond Loewy Foundation.

He was born in Morristown, New Jersey. Kaiser studied psychology at the University of California, with a break in military service, where in 1956 he graduated with a Ph.D. in Psychological and Educational Statistics. In 1957 he was appointed assistant professor at the University of Illinois, where he became a professor in 1962. In 1965 he went to the University of Wisconsin as a professor of educational psychology. In 1968, he received an invitation to the University of California, Berkeley, which he accepted and where he retired in 1984.

Tessa de Loo
|
Tessa de Loo (born 15 October 1946) is the pen name of the Dutch novelist and short story writer Johanna Martina (Tineke) Duyvené de Wit.
Biography
Born in Bussum in North Holland, de Loo was the oldest of three children. After matriculating from high school, she studied Dutch at Utrecht University but interrupted her studies for a time to work as a teacher. In 1976, she returned to university but finally decided to devote her life entirely to writing. She had married when she was 20 but from 1980 she lived alone with her son in Pieterburen on the north coast. After the Dutch newspapers had published two of her short stories in 1975 and 1978, she finally succeeded to have her novel De meisjes van de suikerwerkfabriek published in 1983.
Other successes have been Meander (1986), (The Burnt Offering, 1987) and Isabelle (1989) but her greatest success to date has been De tweeling (1993), translated into English as The Twins (2000). The award-winning novel tells the story of twin sisters who were separated during the Second World War, one living in Germany, the other in the Netherlands. They meet again when they have both reached old age, providing a framework for presenting the history of relationships between the two countries.
Now living in the south of Portugal, Tessa de Loo has become one of the most successful Dutch novelists.

Carlo Grossi

Carlo Grossi (c. 163414 May 1688) was an Italian composer.
Life
He is believed to have been the first composer to use the term "divertimento", in his 1681 composition Il divertimento de' grandi musiche da camera, ò per servizio di tavola.
He was the organist at the church of SS. Giovanni e Paolo.
He is also known for setting Hebrew religious texts to recitative in the style of Claudio Monteverdi, such as in his Cantata Ebraica in Dialogo, a work commissioned from Grossi (himself a Gentile) by the relatively free and well-off Jewish community of Modena. This work was likely intended for performance by an amateur choir (the choral parts are relatively simple, suggesting deliberate tailoring to the capabilities of less advanced musicians) with professional-standard operatic soloists.
Grossi died in 1688 at Venice.

Carlo Grossi (* um 1634 in Vicenza; † 14. Mai 1688 in Venedig) war ein italienischer Komponist, Organist und Sänger (Bass).
Leben
Carlo Grossi verbrachte einen Teil seiner Ausbildungsjahre in Modena. Er war vor 1657 Kapellmeister an der Kathedrale von Reggio nell’Emilia. Zwischen 1657 und 1662 hatte Grossi mehrere Anstellungen in Vicenza, so war er 1656 maestro an der Kathedrale, Kapellmeister der Accademia Olimpica. Von 1664 bis 1667 war Grossi als Organist und maestro di canto am Ospedale dei Mendicanti in Venedig tätig. In diesen Jahren, bis 1666 war er ebenfalls Bass am Markusdom. Von 1676 bis zu seinem, Tod war er maestro di musica am
Ospedale dei Derelitti Er bemühte sich vergeblich leitende Posten am Markusdom und an der capella musicale an San Petronio in Bologna. Die venezianische Monatszeitschrift Pallade Veneta bezeichnete Carlo Grossi in einem Beitrag aus dem Jahre 1687 als einen „Orfeo unserer Zeit“. Eine Zeit lang war Grossi ehrenamtlicher maestro di cappella des Herzogs von Mantua, dem er verschiedene geistliche Kantaten und Motetten, sowie eine Weihnachtspastorale widmete. Es gibt Hinweise dafür, dass Carlo Grossi Kontakte zu Musikern in Dresden, Innsbruck und Wien hatte, aber keinen Nachweis ob er einen Orte je besucht hat. Zu seinen Schülern gehörte Antonio Giannettini.
Grossis Stil ist im Vergleich zu dem seiner Zeitgenossen durch eine gewisse Einfachheit geprägt. Er zog Homophonie und unkomplizierte Melodie in einer Zeit vor, die Polyphonie und virtuose Passagen bevorzugte. In seinen profanen Werken finden sich komische Elemente, die eher eine satirische Absicht verdeutlichen. Im August 1677 bezeichnete eine Ausgabe des Pariser des Le Mercure Galant, seine Karnevalsoper „Nicomede in Bitinia“ als „Très excellent“, vor allem wegen Grossis feinen Geschmackes und seiner kompositorischen Fähigkeiten. In vielen seiner Werke ist der Einfluss von Massimiliano Neri spürbar, vor allem in den Sonaten aus Op. 1 und in den Instrumentalpassagen seiner Bühnenwerke.

Carlo Grossi (* around 1634 in Vicenza; died May 14, 1688, in Venice) was an Italian composer, organist, and singer (bass).
Life
Carlo Grossi spent part of his training years in Modena. Before 1657, he was a chapel master at the Cathedral of Reggio nell’Emilia. Between 1657 and 1662, Grossi held several positions in Vicenza, such as being a maestro at the cathedral in 1656 and chapel master of the Accademia Olimpica. From 1664 to 1667, Grossi worked as an organist and master of singing at the Ospedale dei Mendicanti in Venice. During these years, until 1666, he was also a bass at St. Mark's Basilica. From 1676 until his death, he was the music director at the Ospedale dei Derelitti. He unsuccessfully sought leading positions at St. Mark's Basilica and at the musical chapel of San Petronio in Bologna. The Venetian monthly magazine Pallade Veneta described Carlo Grossi in a 1687 article as an "Orpheus of our time." For a time, Grossi was an honorary maestro di cappella for the Duke of Mantua, to whom he dedicated various sacred cantatas and motets, as well as a Christmas pastoral. There is evidence that Carlo Grossi had contacts with musicians in Dresden, Innsbruck, and Vienna, but no proof that he ever visited these places. Among his students was Antonio Giannettini.
Grossi's style is characterized by a certain simplicity compared to that of his contemporaries. He favored homophony and straightforward melody in a period that preferred polyphony and virtuosic passages. His secular works contain comic elements that tend to have a satirical purpose. In August 1677, an edition of the Parisian publication Le Mercure Galant described his carnival opera "Nicomede in Bitinia" as "Très excellent," mainly due to Grossi's refined taste and compositional skill. Many of his works show the influence of Massimiliano Neri, especially in the sonatas from Op. 1 and in the instrumental passages of his stage works.

Burkhard Held

Burkhard Held is German painter living and working in Berlin, Germany. His art is based on figuration dissolving into abstraction.
Biography
Held was born in 1953. He studied at the Berlin University of the Arts as a "Meisterschüler" (Master Disciple) of Dietmar Lemcke from 1972 to 1979, and was granted a scholarship at Garrucha (Spain) by the "German National Academic Foundation" (Studienstiftung des Deutschen Volkes). In 1993 he became professor at the Berlin University of the Arts. and later served as a professor at the China Academy of Art ("Chinesisch-deutsche Kunstakademie") in Hangzhou, PRC. Held is responsible for the organization of the cooperation of the Berlin University of the Arts and China.
Work
Burkhard Held is a figurative painter, who dissolves his motifs – landscapes, portraits, flowers – into color fields with a strong tendency towards autonomy. His strongly colored all-over images reinterpret things as abstract and then lead the back into figuration. In 2009 Held started to dedicate himself to the subject of flowers: blossoms become compositions with a landscape character, and are distributed in equally strong colors across the canvas. Thus they gain lyrical overtones and additional brightness. Hence Held has also begun to contrast figurative elements (such as the sky) - intentionally without painterly differentiation - with a hatching-like color field technique; this in traditional, monumental formats of his work.

Burkhard Held (* 1953) ist ein deutscher Maler, der in Berlin lebt und arbeitet.
Leben
Er wurde 1953 geboren. Nach dem Studium an der Hochschule der Künste Berlin von 1972 bis 1978, Meisterschüler von Dietmar Lemcke, war Held 1979 bis 1980 Stipendiat der Studienstiftung des Deutschen Volkes in Garrucha (Spanien). Seit 1993 ist er Professor an der Universität der Künste Berlin, und dort für die Kooperation mit der China Academy of Art (Chinesisch-deutschen Kunstakademie) in Hangzhou verantwortlich.
Werk
Burkhard Held ist ein figurativer Maler, der seine Motive – Landschaften, Porträts, Blumen – in Farbflächenmalerei auflöst. Seine farbintensiven, oft in die Abstraktion umgedachten und wieder in die Gegenständlichkeit zurückgeführten all-over-Darstellungen betonen das Primat der Malerei. Seit 2009 widmet sich Held unter dem Thema Flowers der Darstellung von Blumen. Diese werden zu landschaftsähnlichen Kompositionen in starker Farbigkeit auf der Bildfläche so angeordnet, dass sie einen lyrischen Unterton erhalten und heller inszeniert werden. Seit den 2000er Jahren kontrastiert er flächige Elemente (etwa Himmel) gewollt ohne malerische Differenzierung mit schraffurähnlicher Farbfeld-Technik. Hierbei bedient er sich auch traditioneller, monumentaler Formate.

Peter Seewald

Peter Seewald (born July 10, 1954, in Bochum) is a German journalist and author with a focus on religious topics, especially on Pope Benedict XVI.
Life
Peter Seewald grew up in Salzweg near Passau in Lower Bavaria in a Catholic family. His originally close religious ties - as a boy he was chief altar server in his home parish - gave way early on to an attitude critical of the church in the course of the 1968 Movement, during which he became a supporter of Marxism and which led to his leaving the church in 1973. In the summer of 1976 he founded the left-liberal weekly newspaper Passauer Kleine Zeitung in Passau, which was discontinued two years later, in spring 1978.
Seewald was an editor at Der Spiegel from 1981 to 1987 and a reporter at Stern from 1987 to 1990. He then moved to the magazine of the Süddeutsche Zeitung, which he left in 1993. Since then he has been a freelance journalist. After leaving the Catholic church, he continued to devote himself to religious topics. From a detailed interview with Cardinal Joseph Ratzinger in 1996, his book Salz der Erde (Salt of the Earth) emerged, which he published together with Ratzinger and which portrays the future pope apart from the roles that are often described to him. According to Seewald, this interview was also the reason for a religious reconsideration, which finally resulted in his re-entry into the Catholic Church.
From this point on, he devoted himself to religious topics. Among his subsequent works is Gott und die Welt (God and the World), another book he published together with Ratzinger. Both joint publications became bestsellers that were translated in many languages. Seewald had a good, close relationship with Ratzinger, whom he describes as partly responsible for his conversion. After Ratzinger's election as Pope he wrote two portraits about him.
In the summer of 2010, Seewald stayed in Castel Gandolfo for a few days to join Pope Benedict XVI to prepare a third interview book. Seewald's interview with Pope Benedict XVI. was published at the end of November 2010 under the title Licht der Welt (Light of the World). The pope's statements contained therein were interpreted in the media as a relativization of the refusal to use condoms.

Peter Seewald (* 10. Juli 1954 in Bochum) ist ein deutscher Journalist und Autor.
Leben
Peter Seewald wuchs in Salzweg nahe Passau in Niederbayern in einer katholischen Familie auf. Seine ursprünglich enge religiöse Bindung – er war Oberministrant in seiner Heimatgemeinde – wich recht früh einer kirchenkritischen Haltung im Zuge der 68er-Bewegung, während der er Anhänger des Marxismus wurde und die 1973 zum Kirchenaustritt führte. Im Sommer 1976 gründete er in Passau die linksliberale Wochenzeitung Passauer Kleine Zeitung, die zwei Jahre später, im Frühjahr 1978, eingestellt wurde.
Seewald war von 1981 bis 1987 Redakteur beim Spiegel, von 1987 bis 1990 Reporter beim Stern. Er wechselte danach zu dem Magazin der Süddeutschen Zeitung, das er 1993 verließ. Seitdem ist er freier Journalist. Nach seinem Kirchenaustritt widmete er sich weiterhin auch religiösen Themen. Aus einem ausführlichen Interview mit Kardinal Joseph Ratzinger 1996 entstand schließlich sein Buch Salz der Erde, das er zusammen mit dem Interviewten herausgab und das den späteren Papst abseits der häufig beschriebenen Rollen porträtiert. Dieses Interview war laut Seewald auch Anlass seiner Rückbesinnung, die schließlich zu seinem Wiedereintritt in die katholische Kirche führte.
Der Autor widmete sich auch im Anschluss bevorzugt religiösen Themen. Unter seinen folgenden Werken befindet sich mit Gott und die Welt ein weiteres, das er zusammen mit Ratzinger herausgab. Beide gemeinsame Veröffentlichungen wurden vielfach übersetzte Bestseller. Seewald hat ein gutes, enges Verhältnis zu Ratzinger, den er als mitverantwortlich für seine Rekonversion bezeichnet. Nach dessen Wahl zum Papst verfasste er zwei Porträts über ihn.
Im Sommer 2010 hielt sich Seewald für einige Tage in Castel Gandolfo auf, um zusammen mit Papst Benedikt XVI. ein drittes Interviewbuch vorzubereiten. Das Interview Seewalds mit Papst Benedikt XVI. erschien Ende November 2010 unter dem Titel Licht der Welt. Darin enthaltene Äußerungen des Papstes wurde in der Berichterstattung als Relativierung einer Ablehnung des Gebrauchs von Kondomen aufgefasst.
Seewald versucht, Verständnis für die Motivation konservativer Katholiken zu wecken. Er befürwortet als „[w]irklich fortschrittlich“ und zukunftsweisend eine „Rückbesinnung auf die Wurzeln, das Originale, die Kernkompetenz, den Auftrag“ und wendet sich gegen die von ihm als „kalte Professorenreligion der 70er Jahr“ [sic] bezeichnete Reformforderungen.
Im August 2020 kritisierte Seewald die Wochenzeitung Die Tagespost wegen eines aus seiner Sicht „tendenziösen und seine Reputation schädigenden“ Beitrags über seine Berichterstattung zu einer Erkrankung des emeritierten Papstes Benedikt XVI.
Gegenüber Benedikts Nachfolger, Papst Franziskus, nimmt Seewald eine dezidiert kritische Haltung ein. Im Juli 2023 sagte er in einem Interview mit dem Online-Magazin kath.net, Franziskus „radikalisiere“ sich mit zunehmendem Alter; er widerspreche sich immer wieder selbst und stifte damit erhebliche Verwirrung. Er habe gewusst, dass er seinem Vorgänger Joseph Ratzinger „in dessen theologischer Brillanz und Noblesse nicht das Wasser reichen konnte“, und konzentriere sich auf auf Effekte.
Peter Seewald ist verheiratet und hat zwei Söhne, Paul und Jakob. Er lebt in München.

In the summer of 2010, Seewald stayed in Castel Gandolfo for a few days to prepare a third interview book with Pope Benedict XVI. Seewald's interview with Pope Benedict XVI was published at the end of November 2010 under the title "Light of the World." Statements made by the pope in it were interpreted in the media as a relativization of rejection of condom use.
Seewald seeks to foster understanding for the motivation of conservative Catholics. He considers a "return to the roots, the original, the core competence, the mission" as truly progressive and forward-looking and opposes the reform demands which he describes as the "cold professor's religion of the 70s."
In August 2020, Seewald criticized the weekly newspaper Die Tagespost for a contribution he viewed as "tendentious and damaging to his reputation" regarding his reporting on an illness of the emeritus Pope Benedict XVI.
Regarding Benedict's successor, Pope Francis, Seewald takes a decidedly critical stance. In July 2023, he said in an interview with the online magazine kath.net that Francis "radicalizes" himself with increasing age; he contradicts himself repeatedly and thereby causes significant confusion. He knew that he could not match his predecessor Joseph Ratzinger "in his theological brilliance and nobility," and focuses on effects.
Peter Seewald is married and has two sons, Paul and Jakob. He lives in Munich.

Karriere
Ab 1986 legte Gaudino als DJ auf und ab 1990 war er Resident-DJ in größeren Clubs in Süditalien. 1993 ging er nach Mailand und wurde A&R des Erfolgslabels Flying Records, das während seiner Zeit zahlreiche europaweite Clubhits herausbrachte.
Nach fünf Jahren gründete er ein eigenes Label. Bei Rise Records erschienen Hits wie Feel It von The Tamperer und You See The Trouble with Me von Black Legend, beides Nummer-1-Hits in Großbritannien. 2000 erhielt er deshalb auch eine Nominierung als bester A&R bei den European Music Awards.

Sindae of Goguryeo
|
King Sindae (89–179; r. 165–179) was the eighth ruler of Goguryeo, the northernmost of the Three Kingdoms of Korea. The Samguk Sagi records him as the half-brother of the sixth king Taejo and the seventh king Chadae. Other records indicate he may have been Taejo or Chaedae's son.
He remained quiet under the harsh reign of Chadae, secluding himself in the mountains. After Myeongnim Dap-bu assassinated Chadae, Sindae was invited to ascend the throne by court officials. At that time he was already 77 years old. The Samguk Yusa indicates that Sindae himself killed Taejo and Chadae to become king. He tried to stabilize the court by incorporating Chadae's son and other opponents into his administration. To strengthen royal power, he created the supreme ministerial post of guksang(國相), and appointed Myeongnim Dap-bu to the office.
In 169 and 172, Goguryeo was attacked by China, but successfully continued resistance to control the border. Goguryeo united with the Xianbei and attacked the Yuju and Byeongju districts of the Later Han Dynasty of China; however, their alliance brought no great victory. The Later Han invaded Goguryeo in the eleventh month of 172, but were destroyed by Myeongnim Dap-bu's army at Jwawon(坐原), gaining success to expand its territory into western side of the kingdom.
In 176, he named his second son Nammu as the crown prince (subsequent king Gogukcheon), which consolidated the tradition of patrilineal succession. Sindae died in the twelfth lunar month of 179, at the age of 91.

Sindae (* 89; † 179) war der achte Herrscher des Staates Goguryeo, des nördlichen der Drei Reiche von Korea. Er regierte von 165 bis zu seinem Tod 179.
Leben
Dem Samguk Sagi zufolge war Sindae ein Halbbruder der Könige Taejo und Chadae. Andere Quellen führen ihn als Sohn eines der beiden.
Während Chadaes tyrannischer Herrschaft (146–165) lebte Sindae zurückgezogen im Gebirge. Nachdem Myeongnim Dap-bu (67–179) den König ermordet hatte, wurde der bereits 77-jährige Sindae vom Hof eingeladen, sich in die Hauptstadt zu begeben und die Nachfolge anzutreten.
Um das Reich stabil zu halten, beteiligte Sindae die Anhänger Chadaes an der Regierung. Den von ihm neu eingerichtete Posten des Obersten Ministers (guksang) besetzte er mit Myeongnim Dap-bu.
Einen Angriff des chinesischen Han-Reiches unter Kaiser Ling im Jahr 169 konnte Sindae zurückschlagen. Um den Widerstand gegen die chinesische Expansion nach Norden zu stärken, vereinte er die Xianbei-Stämme und überzog die nordöstliche Grenze Chinas im Jahr 172 mit Krieg. Er musste sich bald zurückziehen, aber der chinesische Gegenschlag wurde unter Führung von Myeongnim Dap-bu zurückgeschlagen.
Sindae starb 179 im Alter von 91 Jahren. Sein Sohn Nammu, Kronprinz seit 176, folgte ihm als Gogukcheon auf den Thron.

Sindae (* 89; † 179) was the eighth ruler of the state of Goguryeo, the northern of the Three Kingdoms of Korea. He reigned from 165 until his death in 179.
Life
According to the Samguk Sagi, Sindae was a half-brother of Kings Taejo and Chadae. Other sources list him as a son of either of the two.
During Chadae's tyrannical rule (146–165), Sindae lived in seclusion in the mountains. After Myeongnim Dap-bu (67–179) murdered the king, the 77-year-old Sindae was invited to the court to go to the capital and succeed him.
To maintain stability in the kingdom, Sindae involved Chadae's supporters in the government. He appointed Myeongnim Dap-bu to the newly established position of Chief Minister (guksang).
In 169, Sindae was able to repel an attack by the Chinese Han Dynasty under Emperor Ling. To strengthen resistance against Chinese expansion to the north, he united the Xianbei tribes and invaded China's northeastern border in 172. He had to retreat soon after, but the Chinese counterattack was repelled under the leadership of Myeongnim Dap-bu.
Sindae died in 179 at the age of 91. His son Nammu, crown prince since 176, succeeded him on the throne as Gogukcheon.

Miklós Bánffy
|
Count Miklós Bánffy de Losoncz (30 December 1873 – 5 June 1950) was a Hungarian nobleman, liberal politician, and historical novelist. His books include The Transylvanian Trilogy (They Were Counted, They Were Found Wanting and They Were Divided), and The Phoenix Land.
Biography
The Bánffy family emerged in 15th-century Transylvania and established itself among the foremost dynasties of the country. They owned a grand palace in Kolozsvár (, ), one of the main cities of Transylvania and one of the province's largest castles at Bonchida. One branch was raised to a barony in the 1660s, while another became counts in 1855. The barons produced a 19th-century prime minister of Hungary (Dezső Bánffy), and the counts held important offices at court. Among the latter was Count Miklós, born in Kolozsvár on December 30, 1873.
Beginning his political career at the time when Hungary was a constituent of Austria-Hungary, Bánffy was elected a Member of Parliament in 1901 and became Director of the Hungarian State Theatres (1913–1918). Both a traditionalist and a member of the avant-garde, he wrote five plays, two books of short stories, and a distinguished novel. Overcoming fierce opposition, his intervention made it possible for Béla Bartók's works to have their first performance in Budapest.
Bánffy became Foreign Minister of Hungary in his cousin Count István Bethlen's government of 1921. Although he detested the politics of the Regent, Admiral Miklós Horthy, he worked to review the boundary revisions confirmed by the Treaty of Trianon after World War I through which Transylvania had been transferred to Romania. Little progress was made, and he retired from office.
His trilogy, A Transylvanian Tale, also called The Writing on the Wall, was published between 1934 and 1940. Bánffy portrayed pre-war Hungary as a nation in decline, failed by a shortsighted aristocracy.
In April 1943, Bánffy visited Bucharest to persuade Ion Antonescu's Romania together with Hungary to abandon the Axis and sue for a separate peace with the Allies (see also Romania during World War II). The negotiations with a delegation led by Gheorghe Mironescu broke down almost instantaneously, as the two sides could not agree on a future status for Northern Transylvania (which Romania had ceded to Hungary in 1940, and where Bonchida was located). Two years later, in revenge for Bánffy's actions in Bucharest, his estate at Bonchida was burned and looted by the retreating German army.
Hungary and Transylvania were soon invaded by the Soviet Union's Red Army, an event which marked an uncertain status for Northern Transylvania until its return to Romania. His wife and daughter fled to Budapest while Bánffy remained on the spot in a vain attempt to prevent the destruction of his property. Soon after, the frontier was closed. The family remained separated until 1949, when he was allowed by Romanian communist authorities to leave for Budapest, where he died the following year.
A mellowing communist regime in Hungary permitted the reissue of A Transylvanian Tale in 1982, and it was translated into English for the first time in 1999. The Castle of Bonchida is now being restored as a cultural center. An apartment is being prepared for the use of the Count's family.

Miklós Bánffy
|
Miklós Graf Bánffy von Losoncz (* 30. Dezember 1873 in Kolozsvár, Königreich Ungarn; † 5. Juni 1950 in Budapest) war ein ungarischer Großgrundbesitzer, Politiker und Autor historischer Romane.
Leben
Bánffy stammte aus einer ungarischen Großgrundbesitzerfamilie in Siebenbürgen, die seit 1855 den Grafentitel trug. Zum Besitz der Familie gehört das Schloss Bánffy in Bonchida/Bonțida. Er studierte Jura und wurde 1901 Mitglied des ungarischen Parlaments. Von 1906 bis 1909 war er Obergespan des Komitats Kolozs und der Stadt Kolozsvár. Er gehörte zu den Herausgebern der konservativen Zeitschrift Erdélyi Lapok und wurde Intendant der Budapester Oper und des Nationaltheaters von 1912 bis 1918; dort gehörte er zu den Förderern der Aufführung der Musik Béla Bartóks.
Nach dem für Ungarn verlorenen Ersten Weltkrieg wurde Siebenbürgen 1920 im Vertrag von Trianon Rumänien zugeschlagen, dessen Revision Bánffy von Ungarn aus betrieb. So wurde er in Ungarn unter dem Reichsverweser Miklós Horthy vom 14. April 1921 bis 29. Dezember 1922 Außenminister im Kabinett István Bethlen. Um seinen Besitz in Rumänien nicht zu verlieren, musste er 1926 für die rumänische Staatsangehörigkeit optieren und seinen Wohnsitz in Rumänien nehmen. Neben journalistischen Arbeiten hatte er bereits 1913 sein erstes Bühnenwerk veröffentlicht. In den 1930er Jahren schrieb er einen dreiteiligen zeitgenössischen Roman über die Situation in seiner Heimatregion vor dem Ersten Weltkrieg, der erste Teil der Trilogie erschien 1934 in Budapest, der letzte 1940. Bánffy schrieb für die literarische Zeitschrift „Erdélyi Helikon“ und war ihr Chefredakteur.
Durch den Zweiten Wiener Schiedsspruch wurde der nördliche Teil Siebenbürgens 1940 wieder ungarisch, wofür Bánffy agitiert hatte. Im April 1943 versuchte Bánffy in Bukarest die rumänischen und ungarischen Bestrebungen zusammenzubringen, die Achsenmächte zu verlassen, wegen der wechselseitigen Gebietsansprüche scheiterten diese Verhandlungen jedoch.
Bei der Eroberung Ungarns durch die sowjetischen Truppen 1944 flohen seine Frau und Tochter nach Budapest, während Bánffy auf seinem Besitz in Siebenbürgen blieb, das nun erneut Rumänien eingegliedert wurde. Er wurde dort enteignet und konnte 1949 nach Ungarn emigrieren.

Miklós Count Bánffy of Losoncz (* December 30, 1873, in Kolozsvár, Kingdom of Hungary; † June 5, 1950, in Budapest) was a Hungarian large landowner, politician, and author of historical novels.
Life
Bánffy came from a Hungarian large landowning family in Transylvania, which had held the title of Count since 1855. The family's estate includes Bánffy Castle in Bonchida/Bonțida. He studied law and became a member of the Hungarian Parliament in 1901. From 1906 to 1909, he was the Lord Lieutenant of Kolozs County and the city of Kolozsvár. He was one of the editors of the conservative magazine Erdélyi Lapok and served as director of the Budapest Opera and the National Theatre from 1912 to 1918; there, he was among the supporters of Béla Bartók's music performances.
After Hungary lost World War I, Transylvania was annexed to Romania in the Treaty of Trianon in 1920, a revision of which Bánffy sought from Hungary. As a result, he served as Foreign Minister in the cabinet of István Bethlen from April 14, 1921, to December 29, 1922, under Regent Miklós Horthy. To avoid losing his property in Romania, he opted for Romanian citizenship in 1926 and took up residence in Romania. Besides journalistic work, he had already published his first stage work in 1913. In the 1930s, he wrote a three-part contemporary novel about the situation in his homeland before World War I; the first part of the trilogy was published in Budapest in 1934, and the last in 1940. Bánffy contributed to the literary magazine "Erdélyi Helikon" and was its editor-in-chief.
Through the Second Vienna Award, the northern part of Transylvania was returned to Hungary in 1940, for which Bánffy had campaigned. In April 1943, he attempted to bring together Romanian and Hungarian efforts to leave the Axis powers in Bucharest, but these negotiations failed due to mutual territorial claims.
During the conquest of Hungary by Soviet troops in 1944, his wife and daughter fled to Budapest, while Bánffy remained on his estate in Transylvania, which was again incorporated into Romania. He was dispossessed there and was able to emigrate to Hungary in 1949.

Aiden Shaw (born Aiden Brady, 22 February 1966) is an English author, model and former pornographic film actor.
Early life and modeling
Aiden Brady was born on February 22, 1966, in Harrow, England. He graduated from the University of Brighton.
Shaw was signed to Success Models in Paris and Sight Management Studio in Barcelona. Shaw was photographed by Giampaolo Sgura for Hercules International magazine. In 2013, he was the face of Bytom, a Polish fashion company. In 2014, Shaw walked for Berluti. He was featured by New Zealand menswear brand Working Style for their Autumn Winter 2014 campaign. In 2016, Shaw reverted to his birth name as he continued to model for international brands like Massimo Dutti.
Pornography
Brady adopted the last name "Shaw" in the early 1990s when he began working in gay pornography and appeared in over 50 films. He retired from the porn industry in 1999, but in 2004, he starred in another gay porn film with Hot House.
Writing
In 1991, Shaw collaborated with the New York artist Mark Beard to produce a limited edition publication titled Aiden. The book included several portraits of Shaw, with text written by both Beard and Shaw as a form of dialogue.
Shaw published his first novel, Brutal, in 1996. Also in 1996, The Bad Press published a collection of his poems, If Language at the Same Time Shapes and Distorts our Ideas and Emotions, How do we Communicate Love? He wrote two more novels: Boundaries (1997) and Wasted (2001), and an autobiography, My Undoing (2006) in which he openly discusses his life in the sex industry as a porn star and sex worker, his drug use, and his HIV status (Shaw was diagnosed HIV positive in 1997).

Frédérique Tuffnell
|
Frédérique Tuffnell (born 29 June 1956) is a French politician who served as a member of the French National Assembly from 2017 to 2022, representing the department of Charente-Maritime. From 2017 until 2020, she was a member of La République En Marche! (LREM). In May 2020, she was one of the 17 initial members of the short-lived Ecology Democracy Solidarity group in the National Assembly.
Political career
In parliament, Tuffnell served on the Committee on Sustainable Development and Spatial Planning. In addition to her committee assignments, she was a member of the French-Indian Parliamentary Friendship Group and the French-Sri Lankan Parliamentary Friendship Group.
In February 2020, Tuffnell left LREM, expressing frustration over the way the government was forcing through its radical reform of the pension system and failing to address environmental issues. In May 2020, she was one of the 17 initial members of the new Ecology Democracy Solidarity group in the National Assembly.
By mid-2021, Tuffnell announced that she would not stand in the 2022 elections but instead resign from active politics by the end of the parliamentary term.
Political positions
In April 2018, Tuffnell joined other co-signatories around Sébastien Nadot in officially filing a request for a commission of inquiry into the legality of French weapons sales to the Saudi-led coalition fighting in Yemen, days before an official visit of Saudi Crown Prince Mohammed bin Salman to Paris.

Im Februar 2020 trat Tuffnell aus der LREM-Fraktion aus.

Standpunkte
Im April 2018 schloss sich Tuffnell einer Gruppe von Parlamentariern um Sébastien Nadot an, die einen Untersuchungsausschuss zur Frage der Rechtmäßigkeit von französischen Waffenlieferungen an die von den Saudis unterstützte Kriegspartei im Jemen forderte, wenige Tage vor einem Staatsbesuch des saudischen Kronprinzen Mohammed bin Salman in Paris.

Tcherepnin named him winner of a piano composition contest in 1934 for his work Buffalo Boy's Flute (Mu Tong Duan Di,《牧童短笛》), which made him famous nationwide. His best-known compositions are "Song of the Four Seasons" (Si Ji Ge,《四季歌》) and "The Wandering Songstress" (Tianya Ge Nü,《天涯歌女》), with lyrics by Tian Han), both composed for the 1937 film Street Angel and sung by Zhou Xuan.
He Luting had a complicated relationship with the Chinese Communist Party. He became a member after moving to Shanghai, and during the Second Sino-Japanese War he wrote several songs for the "mass song movement", most famously the "Guerrillas' Song". After the Communist victory in the Civil War, he was appointed director of the Shanghai Conservatory of Music. But during the Cultural Revolution, He Luting became a target due to his association with Western music and particularly his defence of Claude Debussy. He refused to confess despite being subjected to physical abuse and interrogation on public television. Alex Ross claimed that no composer had ever made a braver stand against totalitarianism. After the end of the Cultural Revolution in 1976, He Luting returned to his position as Director of the Shanghai Conservatory and was allowed to travel overseas, visiting Australia in 1979. In 1984 he retired from his position, retaining the title of honorary director. The main concert hall at the Shanghai Conservatory of Music is named after He.

He Lüting, auch He Luting (; * 20. Juli 1903; † 27. April 1999) war ein chinesischer Komponist des 20. Jahrhunderts. Er komponierte seit den 1930er Jahren Lieder für chinesische Filme, manche darunter blieben populär.
An der Musikhochschule Shanghai gewann er mit seiner Komposition Die Flöte des Büffeljungen (牧童短笛) 1934 einen Wettbewerb, der vom russischen Komponisten Alexander Nikolajewitsch Tscherepnin gesponsert und bewertet wurde.
Seine bekanntesten Kompositionen sind das Lied der vier Jahreszeiten (四季歌) und Der wandernde Songstress (天涯歌女, mit Text von Tian Han), die beide für den Film Street Angel aus dem Jahr 1937 komponiert und von Zhou Xuan gesungen wurden.
Im September 1949 wurde Lüting zum Direktor der Musikhochschule Shanghai ernannt.
Ende des Jahres 1965 initiierte Jiang Qing, Mao Zedongs vierte Ehefrau, den antiwestlichen Kreuzzug der Kulturrevolution, und eine Welle des Terrors erfasste jeden Sektor der Gesellschaft. Im Geist der proletarischen Solidarität wurden alle „bourgeoisen“ Künstler öffentlicher Erniedrigung unterzogen und einige wählten Selbstmord als Ausweg. Ein erstaunliches Ereignis fand im chinesischen Fernsehen statt: He Lüting, der von einem proletarisch gesinnten Kritiker angegriffen wurde, weil er die Musik von Claude Debussy verteidigt hatte, wurde einer Befragung unter Folter unterzogen, weigerte sich jedoch sich zu entschuldigen. Er rief: „Ihre Anschuldigungen sind falsch! Schämen Sie sich für Ihre Lügen!“ Alex Ross bemerkte hierzu, dass kein Komponist jemals tapferer gegen den Totalitarismus Stellung bezogen hätte.
1984 ging Lüting in den Ruhestand und erhielt den Titel eines Ehrendirektors. Der Hauptkonzertsaal der Musikhochschule Shanghai wurde nach He Lüting benannt.

In September 1949, Lüting was appointed director of the Shanghai Conservatory of Music.
At the end of 1965, Jiang Qing, Mao Zedong's fourth wife, initiated the anti-Western crusade of the Cultural Revolution, and a wave of terror swept through every sector of society. In the spirit of proletarian solidarity, all "bourgeois" artists were subjected to public humiliation, and some chose suicide as an escape. A remarkable event took place on Chinese television: He Lüting, who had been attacked by a proletarian-minded critic for defending the music of Claude Debussy, was subjected to interrogation and torture but refused to apologize. He shouted: "Your accusations are false! Shame on your lies!" Alex Ross noted that no composer had ever taken such brave a stand against totalitarianism.
In 1984, Lüting retired and was awarded the title of honorary director. The main concert hall of the Shanghai Conservatory of Music was named after He Lüting.

Xu Xilin (December 17 1873 – July 7 1907), was a Chinese revolutionary born in Dongpu, Shanyin, Shaoxing, Zhejiang during the Qing dynasty.
Xu was sent to Japan in 1903 for study where he joined other Zhejiang students in rescuing Zhang Taiyan, who was arrested for spreading anti-Qing views. Xu set up a publishing house and a public school called Yuejun in Shaoxing with Zong Nengsu and Wang Ziyu.
Xu was recommended into the China restoration Society, Guangfuhui in 1904 by Cai Yuanpei and Tao Chengzhang in Shanghai. Xu entered the imperial exams and he met his cousin, Qiu Jin. He introduced her into the Guangfuhui.
Fan Ainong was a student of Xu.
Xu refused to join Sun Yat-sen's revolutionary league, the Tongmenghui, when his Guangfuhui organization was merged into it.
In 1906, Xu purchased an official rank and was placed in charge of police HQ of Anqing in Anhui province.
On July 6, 1907, he was arrested before the scheduled Anqing Uprising, part of the Xinhai Revolution. During his interrogation, Xu said he had murdered En Ming, provincial governor of Anhui Province, just because En Ming was a Manchu, and he had a hit list of Manchu officials he was prepared to assassinate, admitting that he hated Manchus in general. He was executed the next day by slow slicing, and his heart and liver were cut out by En Ming's bodyguards; a week later Qiu Jin was beheaded for her association with the plot.

Sverre Gunnar Strandli (30 November 1925 – 4 March 1985) was a Norwegian hammer thrower, who won the gold medal at the European Championships in 1950 and the silver medal in 1954.
At the Summer Olympics Strandli finished seventh in Helsinki 1952, eighth in Melbourne 1956 and eleventh in Rome 1960. He was the Norwegian Olympic flagbearer in 1960. At the 1962 European Championships he did not qualify for the final. He became Norwegian champion in the years 1949–1954, 1956–1957 and 1960–1962, and took one national title in shot put, in 1954. For his European Championships victory Strandli was selected Norwegian Sportsperson of the Year in 1950.
Strandli established two world records in hammer throw, both in Oslo. The first record of 61.25 metres came in September 1952 and the second of 62.36 metres was established a year later. The world record stood until August 1954, when Mikhail Krivonosov improved it to 63.34 m. For his second world record Strandli was selected Norwegian Sportsperson of the Year for a second time in 1953. He later set a personal best mark of 63.88 metres, in October 1962 in Trondheim, but at that point Hal Connolly had improved the world record to 70.67 metres.

Sverre Gunnar Strandli (* 30. September 1925 in Brandval; † 4. März 1985) war ein norwegischer Leichtathlet. Bei einer Körpergröße von 1,86 m betrug sein Wettkampfgewicht 93 kg.
Sverre Strandli gewann bei den Europameisterschaften 1950 in Brüssel den Wettbewerb im Hammerwurf mit einer Weite von 55,71 Meter vor dem Italiener Teseo Taddia mit 54,73 Meter. Nach diesem Erfolg wurde Strandli 1950 zum Sportler des Jahres in Norwegen gewählt.
Bei den Olympischen Spielen 1952 in Helsinki erreichte er mit 56,36 Meter Platz 7, wobei ausschließlich europäische Werfer vor ihm lagen. Es siegte der Ungar József Csermák, dem mit 60,34 Meter der erste Sechzig-Meter-Wurf überhaupt gelang. Am 14. September 1952 übertraf Sverre Strandli beim Länderkampf Norwegen gegen Finnland in Oslo Csermáks Weltrekord mit 61,25 Meter.
Am 5. September 1953 verbesserte Sverre Strandli bei einem Sportfest in Oslo den Weltrekord ein zweites Mal, diesmal auf 62,36 Meter. In diesem Wettkampf kamen die beiden ungarischen Olympiasieger Imre Németh und József Csermák auf die Plätze 2 und 3. Für diesen Weltrekord wurde Strandli erneut Norwegens Sportler des Jahres.
Bei den Europameisterschaften 1954 in Bern warf Strandli den Hammer auf 61,07 Meter. Er gewann aber nur Silber, weil der für die Sowjetunion antretende Weißrusse Michail Kriwonosow mit 63,34 Meter einen neuen Weltrekord warf.
In Melbourne bei den Olympischen Spielen 1956 belegte Strandli mit 59,21 Meter Rang 8. Vier Jahre später bei den Olympischen Spielen 1960 in Rom warf Strandli mit 63,05 Meter weiter als bei seinem Weltrekord, erreichte aber mit dieser Weite nur noch Platz 11. Bei den Europameisterschaften 1962 in Belgrad verpasste Strandli mit 61,78 Meter als Dreizehnter der Qualifikation den Finaleinzug. Zum Saisonende warf Strandli am 8. Oktober 1962 in Trondheim mit 63,88 Meter seine persönliche Bestleistung, lag aber nun schon fast sieben Meter hinter dem Weltrekord des US-Amerikaners Hal Connolly zurück.
Strandli war norwegischer Meister im Hammerwurf in den Jahren 1949–1954, 1956–1957 und 1960–1962, zusätzlich wurde er 1954 norwegischer Meister im Kugelstoßen. Im Hammerwurf stellte Strandli insgesamt 21 norwegische Landesrekorde auf.

Stephan von Breuning (librettist)
|
Stephan von Breuning (17 August 1774 – 4 June 1827) was a German civil servant and librettist. He was Ludwig van Beethoven's lifelong friend, from his childhood in Bonn when receiving music lessons until acting as executor in Vienna.
Life
Born in Bonn, Breuning was the son of Emanuel Joseph von Breuning and his wife Helene von Breuning, also known as Beethoven's second mother. In 1784, the family made the acquaintance of Ludwig van Beethoven in their home at Bonn. He became a close friend to the family and gave piano lessons to the Breuning children Eleonore and Lorenz.
In 1801, Breuning moved to Vienna where four years later Beethoven's Fidelio was premiered. Besides Joseph Sonnleithner and Georg Friedrich Treitschke, Breuning also contributed to the libretto. In 1806, Beethoven dedicated his violin concerto op. 61 to his friend. Following Beethoven's death in 1827, Breuning assisted in handling affairs of the estate, but he died at age 52 only a few months after the composer. The plan to publish a Beethoven biography, which Breuning had considered writing in collaboration with Beethoven's childhood friend and Breuning's brother-in-law Franz Gerhard Wegeler and Anton Schindler, could not be realized.
Family
In April, 1808, Breuning married Julie von Vering (1791–1809), the daughter of Beethoven's physician Gerhard von Vering (1755-1823), to whom Beethoven dedicated the piano version of his Violin Concerto. Julie died at age 17, less than a year after their marriage. Around 1812, Breuning began a relationship with Constanze Ruschowitz (1785-86 in Freudenthal, Austrian Silesia, – 5 October 1856 in Vienna), whom he married on 18 February 1817. She had three children:
Gerhard von Breuning,
Helena Juliana Philippina von Breuning (born 17 August 1818),
Mara Magdalena Barbara von Breuning (born 2 April 1821).

Stephan von Breuning (* 17. August 1774 in Bonn; † 4. Juni 1827 in Wien) war ein deutscher Beamter und Librettist.
Leben
Stephan von Breuning war der Sohn des Hofrats Emanuel Joseph von Breuning und dessen Ehefrau Helene, geb. von Kerich. Im Jahr 1784 machte die Familie in ihrem Haus am Bonner Münsterplatz die Bekanntschaft Ludwig van Beethovens. Dieser gab den Breuning-Kindern Eleonore und Lorenz Klavierunterricht. Zu Sohn Stephan entstand eine lebenslange Freundschaft.
1801 zog Breuning nach Wien, wo vier Jahre später Beethovens Fidelio uraufgeführt wurde. Am Libretto hat neben Joseph Sonnleithner und Georg Friedrich Treitschke auch Breuning mitgewirkt. 1806 widmete Beethoven dem Freund sein Violinkonzert op. 61. Nach Beethovens Tod im Jahr 1827 kümmerte sich Breuning um die Nachlassregelung, starb aber noch im selben Jahr. Der Plan, eine Beethoven-Biographie herauszugeben, den Breuning zusammen mit Beethovens Jugendfreund Franz Gerhard Wegeler sowie mit Anton Schindler in Erwägung gezogen hatte, konnte dadurch nicht verwirklicht werden.
Familie
Breuning heiratete im April 1808 Julie von Vering (1791–1809), die Tochter von Beethovens Arzt Gerhard von Vering (1755–1823), der Beethoven die Klavierfassung seines Violinkonzerts widmete. Nach ihrem frühen Tod ging er um 1812 eine Beziehung mit Constanze Ruschowitz (* 1785/86 in Freudenthal/Österreichisch-Schlesien; † 5. Oktober 1856 in Wien) ein, die er am 18. Februar 1817 ehelichte. Sie hatten drei Kinder:
Gerhard von Breuning,
Helena Juliana Philippina von Breuning (* 17. August 1818),

Guido Forti (10 July 1940 – 11 January 2013) was the founder and team manager of the now-defunct Formula One team Forti.
Forti co-founded his "Forti Corse" racing team with businessman Paolo Guerci in the late 1970s, initially running in Italian and European Formula Three. The team made the step up to Formula 3000 in 1987, but only participated in half of the races. For his debut season in the formulae, Forti had Nicola Larini and Nicola Tesini driving his cars, supplied by fellow newcomers Dallara. The team's first of nine wins in Formula 3000 came in 1990, with Gianni Morbidelli driving. Forti opted at the start of the 1994 season that it would be the last for his team in the category, as he had engineered a move into Formula One organised by Carlo Gancia with the financial support of wealthy Brazilian driver Pedro Diniz. Forti continued with the team throughout its short stint in F1 from to . However, in the middle of the 1996 Formula One season, the team were struggling to secure funding due to Diniz's departure to the Ligier team at the start of the year. As a result, a financial deal was struck with the Shannon Group, which announced that it now owned 51% of the team. However, as Forti's financial situation worsened further despite the deal, Guido took Shannon to court to try to get back the 51% of the team he had lost. After an initial loss to Shannon in a court case, Forti managed to regain control of his team, but at this stage the outfit had already missed several Grands Prix and did not return to the sport.
Forti was last involved in motor racing in 2003, when he was employed by a Euro Formula 3000 team. He died in January 2013, at the age of 72, in his home city of Alessandria.

Guido Forti (* 10. Juli 1940 in Alessandria; † 11. Januar 2013 ebenda) war ein italienischer Automobilrennfahrer und Motorsportmanager. Er war Eigentümer des nach ihm benannten Rennstalls Forti Corse, der unter anderem in der Formel 1 antrat.
Motorsport
Guido Forti gründete 1977 einen eigenen Rennstall, der zunächst in der Italienischen Formel-Ford-Meisterschaft antrat. 1980 engagierte sich das Team für einige Jahre in der Südamerikanischen Formel-3-Meisterschaft, bevor es in die italienische Serie wechselte. 1987 wurde Franco Forini für Forti italienischer Formel-3-Meister. Im gleichen Jahr begann Fortis Engagement in der Formel 3000, der das Team bis 1994 angehörte. Forti war in diesen Jahren ein fester Bestandteil der von starker Fluktuation gekennzeichneten Formel-3000-Serie. Einen Meistertitel konnte das Team allerdings nicht gewinnen, obwohl es vielfach leistungsstarke Fahrer wie Nicola Larini oder Gianni Morbidelli unter Vertrag hatte.
Im Laufe des Jahres 1992 dachte Guido Forti erstmals über den Aufstieg seines Teams in die Formel 1 nach. Aus Gründen der Werbewirksamkeit erwog er zunächst den Aufbau eines Damenteams um die italienische Rennfahrerin Giovanna Amati; die Pläne ließen sich indes nicht realisieren.
1994 beteiligte sich der brasilianisch-italienische Geschäftsmann Carlo Ganzia an Guido Fortis Team. Mit finanzieller Unterstützung Ganzias sowie des brasilianischen Rennfahrers Pedro Diniz gelang Forti Corse zu Beginn der Saison 1995 der Aufstieg in die Formel 1. Hier konnte Forti nicht an die bisherigen Erfolge anknüpfen. Das Team bestritt nur 27 Rennen und erzielte dabei keine Weltmeisterschaftspunkte. Seine erste Saison schloss das Team als Drittletzter der Konstrukteurswertung ab. Die zweite Saison konnte es nicht regulär beenden: Bereits im Sommer 1996 musste der Rennstall aufgrund finanzieller Schwierigkeiten schließen. Guido Forti hatte zuvor die Anteilsmehrheit an einen irischen Investor mit der Bezeichnung Shannon verloren.
1997, nachdem ein Rechtsstreit über die Eigentümerstellung am Team zugunsten Shannons ausgegangen war, erlitt Guido Forti einen Herzinfarkt. Nach seiner Genesung leitete Forti 2002 und 2003 ein Team in der Euro Formel 3000, einem Vorläufer der Auto GP World Series.
Guido Forti starb am 11. Januar 2013 im Alter von 72 Jahren.

Guido Forti (* July 10, 1940 in Alessandria; † January 11, 2013 in the same place) was an Italian racing driver and motorsport manager. He was the owner of the racing team named after him, Forti Corse, which competed in, among other series, Formula 1.
Motorsport
Guido Forti founded his own racing team in 1977, which initially competed in the Italian Formula Ford Championship. In 1980, the team participated for several years in the South American Formula 3 Championship before switching to the Italian series. In 1987, Franco Forini became Italian Formula 3 champion for Forti. In the same year, Forti began competing in Formula 3000, which the team remained part of until 1994. During these years, Forti was a regular participant in the Formula 3000 series, which was characterized by high turnover. However, the team was unable to win a championship title, despite having talented drivers such as Nicola Larini and Gianni Morbidelli under contract.
In 1992, Guido Forti first considered promoting his team to Formula 1. For promotional reasons, he initially contemplated forming a women’s team around the Italian racing driver Giovanna Amati; however, these plans could not be realized.
In 1994, the Brazilian-Italian businessman Carlo Ganzia became involved with Guido Forti’s team. With Ganzia’s financial support and that of Brazilian racing driver Pedro Diniz, Forti Corse achieved promotion to Formula 1 at the beginning of the 1995 season. However, Forti was unable to replicate previous successes in F1. The team competed in only 27 races and scored no World Championship points. The team finished its first season as the third-last in the constructors' standings. It could not complete the second season: by summer 1996, the team had to close due to financial difficulties. Prior to this, Guido Forti had lost the majority of his shares to an Irish investor named Shannon.
In 1997, after a legal dispute over the ownership of the team was decided in Shannon’s favor, Guido Forti suffered a heart attack. After recovering, Forti managed a team in Euro Formula 3000 in 2002 and 2003, a precursor to the Auto GP World Series.
Guido Forti died on January 11, 2013, at the age of 72.

Tassilo von Heydebrand und der Lasa
|
Tassilo, Baron von Heydebrand und der Lasa (known in English as Baron von der Lasa, 17 October 1818, Berlin – 27 July 1899, Storchnest near Lissa, Greater Poland, then German Empire) was a German chess master, chess historian and theoretician of the nineteenth century, a member of the Berlin Chess Club and a founder of the Berlin Chess School (the Berlin Pleiades).
His name is usually abbreviated as "von der Lasa", as this is how he signed his letters. However both contemporary and more recent writers have used other abbreviations, such as "von Heydebrandt" (which is a misspelling) and "Der Lasa". The Prussian King (later Emperor) William I made a joke out of the confusion by saying, "Good morning, dear Heydebrand. What is von der Lasa doing?"
Von der Lasa was born 17 October 1818 in Berlin. He studied law in Bonn and Berlin. From 1845 he was a diplomat in the service of Prussia. His career took him to Stockholm, Copenhagen, and Rio de Janeiro, among other places. He retired from the diplomatic service in 1864, and thereafter devoted himself to the world of chess.
He played several matches and defeated the strongest masters in the period 1843–1853. He won against Henry Thomas Buckle 2-1 (1843), Adolf Anderssen 4-2 (1845), Johann Löwenthal 6-1 (1846), John William Schulten 4-1 (1850), Anderssen 10-5 (1851), and Howard Staunton 7-6 (1853).
To the modern chess world he is known above all as the main author of the Handbuch des Schachspiels (first published in 1843). His friend Paul Rudolf von Bilguer, responsible for the original plan, had died in 1840, with the work still in the early stages. Von der Lasa took over, and, in a noble gesture of friendship, put his friend's name as author. In later editions of the Handbuch, in German commonly called der Bilguer, von der Lasa was named as co-author.
In 1850 von der Lasa published in the Deutsche Schachzeitung (German Chess Magazine) a call for an international chess tournament, the first ever, to be held in Trier. Instead the first such tournament was held in 1851 in London. Von der Lasa did not play in tournaments, being usually busy as an organizer, but played well in off-hand games against such leading masters as Howard Staunton and Adolf Anderssen. He was also a renowned chess investigator and theoretician, publishing numerous articles in the German Chess Magazine and, in 1897, his great work Zur Geschichte und Literatur des Schachspiels, Forschungen (Researches in the History and Literature of Chess). In the course of his researches he traveled extensively (including a trip around the world in 1887–88) and accumulated a comprehensive chess library, to which he published a catalog in 1896. In 1898 the German Chess Federation saluted his tireless efforts and accomplishments by conferring on him its first honorary membership.
One of von der Lasa's last services was to encourage H. J. R. Murray to pursue further researches into the early history of chess. Von der Lasa died on 27 July 1899 in Storchnest bei Lissa, Posen (then in Prussia, now Osieczna in Poland). His library is still intact at Kórnik Castle near Poznań.

Tassilo von Heydebrand und der Lasa
|
Tassilo von Heydebrand und der Lasa (* 17. Oktober 1818 in Berlin; † 27. Juli 1899 in Storchnest bei Lissa, Provinz Posen) war ein deutscher Schachmeister und -theoretiker.
Herkunft
Seine Eltern waren der preußische Generalmajor Heinrich von Heydebrand und der Lasa und dessen Ehefrau Emilie Thomann (1785–1875).
Werdegang
Heydebrand studierte Rechtswissenschaft in Bonn und Berlin. Seit 1845 war er Diplomat im Dienste Preußens, seine Laufbahn als Gesandter führte ihn u. a. bis nach Stockholm, Kopenhagen und Rio de Janeiro. Tassilo von Heydebrand und der Lasa war verheiratet; sein Sohn Heinrich wurde politisch aktiv und war u. a. einige Jahre Mitglied des Preußischen Herrenhauses.
Ende der 1830er Jahre stieß von der Lasa als Student zu der später nach dem Siebengestirn benannten Berliner Schachschule, die sich um Ludwig Bledow gebildet hatte. Diese Gruppe von Meistern gab der theoretischen Erforschung des Spiels einen entscheidenden Auftrieb. In den Berliner Schach-Erinnerungen fasste von der Lasa diese kurze, aber bedeutsame Phase der Schachgeschichte zusammen.
Der heutigen Schachwelt ist Tassilo von Heydebrand und der Lasa vor allem durch die im Jahr 1843 erstmals vorgenommene Herausgabe des Handbuchs des Schachspiels bekannt, das Paul Rudolph von Bilguer konzipiert hatte, der jedoch, im Jahr 1840 verstorben, das Erscheinen seines Werkes nicht mehr erlebte. Von Heydebrand und der Lasa setzte die Arbeit des Verstorbenen fort und setzte dessen Namen selbstlos in der Autorenschaft voran, so dass das legendäre Buch seither als das Handbuch (der „Bilguer“) bekannt wurde. Es enthielt unter anderem umfangreiche Analysen aller damals bekannten Eröffnungsvarianten. Von Heydebrand und der Lasa bearbeitete bis 1874 noch vier weitere Auflagen.
Auch über das Handbuch des Schachspiels hinaus war von Heydebrand und der Lasa ein renommierter Schachforscher und -theoretiker, was zahlreiche Aufsätze in der Berliner bzw. (seit 1871) Deutschen Schachzeitung und sein 1897 erschienenes Werk Zur Geschichte und Literatur des Schachspiels belegen. Er verfügte über eine bedeutende Sammlung von Schachliteratur, über die ein zuletzt im Jahr 1896 von ihm herausgegebenes Verzeichnis existiert.
Im Jahr 1850 warb von Heydebrand und der Lasa in der Schachzeitung für ein internationales Schachturnier, welches das erste seiner Art gewesen wäre und in Trier hätte stattfinden sollen. Jedoch kamen die Pläne nicht zur Durchführung, das erste internationale Schachturnier fand 1851 in London statt.
Neben diesen theoretischen Leistungen war von Heydebrand und der Lasa um die Mitte des 19. Jahrhunderts auch einer der weltbesten Spieler. Seine höchste historische Elo-Zahl betrug 2630 im Januar 1852, er führte die nachträglich berechnete historische Eloliste von Oktober 1851 bis Dezember 1852 an. Zahlreiche Partien trug er insbesondere mit Carl Mayet und Wilhelm Hanstein aus. In einem Wettkampf siegte er gegen den herausragenden Meister Howard Staunton. Vor dem Hintergrund seiner diplomatischen Laufbahn zog sich von Heydebrand und der Lasa jedoch bald vom praktischen Spiel zurück.
Für sein unermüdliches Wirken im Sinne des Schachs wurde er im Jahr 1898 als Erster mit der Ehrenmitgliedschaft im Deutschen Schachbund ausgezeichnet.
Familie
Er heiratete 24. April 1860 Anna Henriette Amalie von Helldorff (1831–1880). Das Paar hatte einen Sohn Heinrich Bernhard Adolf Thassilo (1861–1924), der 1890 die Gräfin Gisela Ottilie Maria von Matuschka (* 24. März 1872) heiratete.

Tassilo von Heydebrand and the Lasa (* October 17, 1818, in Berlin; † July 27, 1899, in Storchnest near Lissa, Province of Posen) was a German chess master and theorist.
Origin
His parents were Prussian Major General Heinrich von Heydebrand and the Lasa and his wife Emilie Thomann (1785–1875).
Career
Heydebrand studied law in Bonn and Berlin. Since 1845, he was a diplomat serving Prussia; his career as an envoy took him to Stockholm, Copenhagen, and Rio de Janeiro, among other places. Tassilo von Heydebrand and the Lasa was married; his son Heinrich became politically active and was a member of the Prussian House of Lords for several years.
In the late 1830s, von der Lasa joined the Berlin Chess School as a student, which was later named after the Big Dipper constellation and had formed around Ludwig Bledow. This group of masters gave a significant boost to the theoretical exploration of the game. In the Berlin Chess Memories, von der Lasa summarized this brief but important phase of chess history.
The modern chess world is primarily familiar with Tassilo von Heydebrand and the Lasa through the first publication of the "Handbook of Chess" in 1843, conceived by Paul Rudolph von Bilguer, who, however, died in 1840 and did not live to see his work published. Von Heydebrand and the Lasa continued Bilguer’s work and selflessly put his name at the forefront of the authorship, so that the legendary book has since been known as the "Handbook" (the "Bilguer"). It included, among other things, extensive analyses of all known opening variations at the time. Von Heydebrand and the Lasa published four more editions until 1874.
Beyond the "Handbook of Chess," von Heydebrand and the Lasa was a renowned chess researcher and theorist, as evidenced by numerous articles in the Berlin and (since 1871) German Chess Journal, and his 1897 work "On the History and Literature of Chess." He possessed an important collection of chess literature, for which a catalog was published in 1896.
In 1850, von Heydebrand and the Lasa promoted an international chess tournament in the Chess Journal, which would have been the first of its kind and was supposed to take place in Trier. However, the plans were not realized; the first international chess tournament took place in London in 1851.
In addition to his theoretical achievements, von Heydebrand and the Lasa was also one of the world's best players around the mid-19th century. His highest historical Elo rating was 2630 in January 1852, and he led the retroactively calculated historical Elo list from October 1851 to December 1852. He played numerous games, especially against Carl Mayet and Wilhelm Hanstein. He also defeated the outstanding master Howard Staunton in a match. However, due to his diplomatic career, von Heydebrand and the Lasa soon withdrew from practical play.
For his tireless efforts in the cause of chess, he was awarded the first honorary membership in the German Chess Federation in 1898.
Family
He married Anna Henriette Amalie von Helldorff on April 24, 1860. The couple had a son, Heinrich Bernhard Adolf Thassilo (1861–1924), who married Countess Gisela Ottilie Maria von Matuschka (* March 24, 1872) in 1890.

Jack Halpern (19 January 1925 – 31 January 2018) was an inorganic chemist, the Louis Block Distinguished Service Professor of Chemistry at the University of Chicago. Born in Poland, he moved to Canada in 1929 and the United States in 1962.
His research focused on mechanistic organometallic chemistry, especially homogeneous catalysis, beginning with early work on the activation of hydrogen by soluble complexes. He contributed to elucidation of the mechanism of the hydrogenation of alkenes by Wilkinson's catalyst and the stereodetermining step in certain asymmetric hydrogenation processes. Related areas of interest include the reactivity of metal-carbon bonds, e.g., in cobalamins and pentacyanocobaltate derivatives.
He was elected a Fellow of the Royal Society in 1974. From the American Chemical Society he won the Willard Gibbs Award (1986), and awards for Inorganic Chemistry, Organometallic Chemistry, and the Distinguished Service in Inorganic Chemistry, the latter in partial recognition of his editorship of the Journal of the American Chemical Society.

Pishoy

Bishoy of Scetis (Coptic: Abba Pišoi; Greek: Ὅσιος Παΐσιος ὁ Μέγας; 320 – 417 AD), known in the Coptic Orthodox Church of Alexandria as the Star of the Desert and the Beloved of our Good Savior, was a Coptic Desert Father. He is said to have seen Jesus, and been bodily preserved to the present day via incorruptibility at the Monastery of Saint Bishoy in the Nitrian Desert, Egypt. He is venerated by the Oriental Orthodox Churches and the Eastern Orthodox Churches, and is known in the latter under the Greek version of his name, Paisios.
Life
Bishoy was born in 320 AD in the village of Shansa (Shensha or Shesna), currently in the Egyptian governorate of Al Minufiyah. Younger to six other brothers, he was weak and frail. His mother saw an angel in a vision asking her to give God one of her children, and pointed at Bishoy. When the mother tried to offer one of her stronger children, the angel insisted that Bishoy was the chosen one.
At the age of twenty, Bishoy went to the wilderness of Scetes and became a monk by the hand of Pambo, who also ordained John the Dwarf a monk. When Pambo died, Bishoy was guided by an angel to the site of the present Monastery of Saint Bishoy, where he lived the life of a hermit. At this time, he became the spiritual father of many monks who gathered around him. He was famous for his love, wisdom, simplicity and kindness, as well as for his extremely ascetic life. He was also known to love seclusion and quietness. Bishoy's asceticism was harsh to the extent of tying his hair and hands with a rope to the ceiling of his cell, in order to resist sleeping during his night prayers. This asceticism made him so famous that he was visited by Ephrem the Syrian.
The Copts believe that Bishoy saw Jesus a number of times. When Bishoy's brethren learned that Jesus was coming, they gathered at the top of a mountain so that they might see him. On the way, they met an old man that asked these monks to help him on his way but they ignored him. Bishoy saw the man and carried him on his shoulders, only to discover that the old monk was none other but Christ himself. The latter told him that, for the extent of his love, his body will not see corruption. The Copts also believe that Bishoy washed the feet of Jesus who visited him as a poor stranger.
Bishoy is known as a defender of Orthodox faith against heresies. Having heard of an ascetic in the mountain of Ansena who taught that there was no Holy Spirit, Bishoy went to him carrying a weaved basket with three ears. When the old man asked him about the reason for making three ears for a basket, Bishoy replied "I have a Trinity, and everything I do is like the Trinity". After much debate from the Scriptures, the Old and New Testaments, the old ascetic reverted to Orthodoxy.
Departure and relics
In 407/408 AD, as the Mazices invaded the wilderness of Scetes, Bishoy left and dwelt in the mountain of Ansena. At this time, he met Paul of Tammah in Antinoöpolis and the two became very close friends. While at the mountain of Ansena, Bishoy built another monastery, the monastery of Saint Bishoy at Dayr al-Barsha, which still stands today near Mallawi. Bishoy departed on 8 Epip (July 15) 417 AD.
On December 13, 841 AD (4 Koiak), Pope Joseph I of Alexandria fulfilled the desire of Saint Bishoy and moved his body (as well as that of Paul of Tammah) to the Monastery of Saint Bishoy in the wilderness of Scetes. It is said that they first attempted to move the body of Saint Bishoy only, but when they carried it to the boat on the Nile, the boat would not move until they brought in the body of Paul of Tammah as well. Today, the two bodies lie in the main church of the Coptic Orthodox Monastery of Saint Bishoy in the Natroon Desert. Eyewitnesses recount that the body of Bishoy remains in an allegedly incorruptible state to this day.
Monastic namesakes
There are currently three monasteries in Egypt that carry the name of Saint Bishoy:
The Monastery of Saint Bishoy at the Nitrian Desert
The Monastery of Saint Bishoy at Deir el-Bersha, near Mallawi
The Monastery of Saint Bishoy at Armant, east of Armant
The Red Monastery near Souhag is also named after an Egyptian saint called Bishay. This saint is not to be confused with Saint Bishoy.

Der Heilige Pischoi ( und ; * 320 n. Chr. in Shansa (Ägypten); † 15. Juli 417 n. Chr., Antinoupolis) in der koptisch-orthodoxen Kirche von Alexandria auch als „Stern der Wüste“ und als „Geliebter unseres Guten Heilands“ bekannt, war ein ägyptischer Wüstenvater. Er soll Jesus Christus gesehen haben und sein Leichnam soll sich im St.-Pischoi-Kloster im Natrontal befinden. Er wird von den orientalisch-orthodoxen Kirchen und den Byzantinisch-orthodoxen Kirchen verehrt. Letztere kennen ihn unter der griechischen Version seines Namens, Passios. Er ist nicht zu verwechseln mit dem Ägypter Pishay.
Leben
Der Heilige Pischoi wurde 320 nach Christus im Dorf Shansa (auch Shensha oder Shesna genannt) im heutigen ägyptischen Regierungsbezirk Al Minufiyah geboren. Er war der jüngste von sieben Brüdern und er war schwach und zerbrechlich. Seine Mutter sah einen Engel in einer Vision, der sie darum bat, eines ihrer Kinder Gott zu geben, und meinte damit Pischoi. Die wollte eines ihrer stärkeren Kinder hergeben, aber der Engel bestand auf Pischoi.
Im Alter von zwanzig ging Pischoi in die Sketische Wüste und wurde ein Mönch unter dem Altvater Poimen, der auch den Heiligen Johann den Zwerg zum Mönch geweiht hat. Nach Poimens Tod wurde Pischoi von einem Engel zu der Stätte des heutigen St.-Pischoi-Kloster geleitet, wo er als Einsiedler lebte. Er wurde der spirituelle Vater vieler Mönche, die sich um ihn scharten. Er wurde für seine Liebe, Weisheit, Einfalt und Güte sowie für sein extrem enthaltsames Leben berühmt. Er war auch dafür bekannt, Abgeschiedenheit und Stille zu lieben. Seine Enthaltsamkeit war streng, er band sogar seine Haare und Hände mit einem Seil an der Decke fest, um während seiner Nachtgebete dem Schlaf zu widerstehen. Seine Enthaltsamkeit machte ihn so berühmt, dass er von dem Heiligen Ephraim dem Syrier besucht wurde.
Die Kopten glauben, dass Pischoi Jesus Christus mehrere Male gesehen hat. Einmal bat ihn ein alter Mönch, ihm beim Bergsteigen zu helfen, daher trug Pischoi ihn auf seinen Schultern und fand heraus, dass es sich bei dem alten Mönch um Jesus handelte. Letzterer erzählte ihm, dass wegen des Ausmaßes an Liebe sein Körper nicht verwesen werde. Die Kopten glauben außerdem, dass Pischoi die Füße von Jesus gewaschen hat, als er ihn als armen Freund besucht hat.
Pischoi soll auch Jesus in seinem Kloster gesehen haben. Als Pischois Glaubensbrüder erfuhren, dass Jesus kommen sollte, versammelten sie sich in der Hoffnung, ihn zu sehen. Zuvor hatte ein alter Mann sie gebeten, ihm auf seinem Weg zu helfen, aber sie hatten ihn ignoriert. Als Pischoi den alten Mann sah, half er ihm in sein Zimmer. Gewohnheitsmäßig wusch er dem Mann die Füße, daraufhin gab er sich als Jesus zu erkennen.
Pischoi wurde als Verteidiger der Orthodoxie gegen ketzerische Lehren bekannt. Nachdem er von einem Einsiedlermönch auf dem Berg Ansena gehört hatte, der lehrte, dass es keinen heiligen Geist gäbe, ging Pischoi zu ihm mit einem gewobenen Korb mit drei Griffen. Als der alte Mann ihn frage, warum der Korb drei Griffe habe, antwortete Pischoi: „Ich habe eine Dreifaltigkeit und alles, was ich mache, ist wie die Dreifaltigkeit.“ Nach einer langen Auseinandersetzung mit den Schriften, dem Alten und dem Neuen Testament, kehrte der alte Mönch zur Orthodoxie zurück.
Der Heilige Pischoi hat außerdem den Titel Perfekter Mann.
Tod und Relikte
Als 407/408 n. Chr. die Berber in die Sketische Wüste eindrangen, flüchtete Pischoi und lebte in den Bergen bei Ansena. In dieser Zeit traf er den Heiligen Paul von Tamma in Antinoupolis und die beiden wurden sehr enge Freunde. Als er sich bei Ansena befand, baute er das St.-Pischoi-Kloster in Dair al-Berscha. Pischoi verstarb am 15. Juli 417 n. Chr.
Am 13. Dezember 841 n. Chr. (4. Koiak) erfüllte Papst Joseph I. von Alexandria den Wunsch des Heiligen Pischoi und ließ seinen Leichnam, sowie den des Heiligen Paul von Tamma, in das St.-Pischoi-Kloster in der Sketischen Wüste bringen. Es wird erzählt, dass sie zunächst nur den Leichnam des Heiligen Pischoi transportieren wollten, aber nachdem sie diesen auf ein Boot auf dem Nil gebracht hatten, fuhr das Boot nicht los, bis sie auch den Leichnam des Heiligen Paul von Tamma auf das Boot brachten. Heute befinden sich beide Leichname in der Hauptkirche des koptisch-orthodoxen St.-Pischoi-Kloster in der Nitrianwüste. Augenzeugen berichten, dass der Leichnam des Heiligen Pischoi angeblich nicht verwest ist.
Nach dem Heiligen Pischoi benannte Klöster
Es gibt zurzeit drei Klöster, die nach dem Heiligen Pischoi benannt wurden:
Das St.-Pischoi-Kloster in der Sketischen Wüste in Ägypten
Das St.-Pischoi-Kloster in Dair al-Berscha
Das St.-Pischoi-Kloster bei Armant

He was the youngest of seven brothers and was weak and fragile. His mother saw an angel in a vision who asked her to give one of her children to God, referring to Pischoi. She wanted to give up one of her stronger children, but the angel insisted on Pischoi.
At the age of twenty, Pischoi went into the Desert of Scetes and became a monk under the Elder Poimen, who also ordained Saint John the Dwarf as a monk. After Poimen’s death, Pischoi was led by an angel to the site of the present-day St. Pischoi Monastery, where he lived as a hermit. He became the spiritual father of many monks who gathered around him. He was renowned for his love, wisdom, simplicity, kindness, and his extremely ascetic life. He was also known for loving solitude and silence. His asceticism was strict; he even tied his hair and hands to the ceiling with a rope to resist sleep during his night prayers.

The Copts believe that Pischoi saw Jesus Christ several times. Once, an old monk asked him to help him climb a mountain, so Pischoi carried him on his shoulders and discovered that the old monk was Jesus. The latter told him that because of the extent of love, his body would not decay. The Copts also believe that Pischoi washed Jesus’ feet when he visited him as a poor friend.
Pischoi is said to have also seen Jesus in his monastery. When Pischoi’s fellow monks learned that Jesus was coming, they gathered in hopes of seeing him. Previously, an old man had asked them to help him on his way, but they ignored him. When Pischoi saw the old man, he helped him into his room. As a customary act, he washed the man’s feet, after which he revealed himself as Jesus.
Pischoi became known as a defender of Orthodoxy against heretical teachings. After hearing about a hermit monk on Mount Ansenna who taught that there was no Holy Spirit, Pischoi went to him with a woven basket with three handles. When the old man asked why the basket had three handles, Pischoi replied, “I have a Trinity, and everything I do is like the Trinity.” After a lengthy debate with the scriptures, the Old and New Testaments, the old monk returned to Orthodoxy.
Saint Pischoi also holds the title of Perfect Man.
Death and Relics
When the Berbers invaded the Desert of Scetes in 407/408 AD, Pischoi fled and lived in the mountains near Ansena. During this time, he met Saint Paul of Tamma in Antinoupolis, and they became very close friends. While in Ansena, he built the St. Pischoi Monastery in Dair al-Bersha. Pischoi died on July 15, 417 AD.
On December 13, 841 AD (4 Koiak), Pope Joseph I of Alexandria fulfilled the wish of Saint Pischoi and had his body, along with that of Saint Paul of Tamma, brought to the St. Pischoi Monastery in the Desert of Scetes. It is said that initially they only intended to transport the body of Saint Pischoi, but after placing it on a boat on the Nile, the boat would not start moving until they also placed the body of Saint Paul of Tamma on the boat. Today, both bodies are in the main church of the Coptic Orthodox St. Pischoi Monastery in the Nitrian Desert. Witnesses report that the body of Saint Pischoi allegedly has not decayed.

Thomas Tredwell (* 6. Februar 1743 in Smithtown, Provinz New York; † 30. Dezember 1831 in Plattsburgh, New York) war ein US-amerikanischer Jurist und Politiker. Zwischen 1791 und 1795 vertrat er den Bundesstaat New York im US-Repräsentantenhaus.
Werdegang
Thomas Tredwell graduierte 1764 am Princeton College in New Jersey, wo er Jura studierte. Nach seiner Zulassung als Anwalt begann er in Plattsburgh zu praktizieren. Tredwell verfolgte auch eine politische Laufbahn. Als Delegierter nahm er in den Jahren 1774 und 1775 am Provinzkongress teil und in den Jahren 1776 und 1777 an der verfassungsgebenden Versammlung von New York. Dann war er zwischen 1777 und 1783 Mitglied der New York State Assembly. 1778 wurde er Richter am Nachlassgericht (court of probate), eine Stellung, die er bis 1787 innehatte. Danach war er bis 1791 als Vormundschafts- und Nachlassrichter (surrogate) von Suffolk County tätig. In dieser Zeit saß er zwischen 1786 und 1789 im Senat von New York und nahm 1788 als Delegierter an der verfassungsgebenden Versammlung von New York teil.
Politisch war Tredwell ein Gegner der damaligen Bundesregierung unter Präsident George Washington (Anti-Administration-Fraktion). Im Mai 1791 wurde er im ersten Wahlbezirk von New York in das damals noch in Philadelphia tagende US-Repräsentantenhaus gewählt, um dort die Vakanz zu füllen, die durch den Tod von James Townsend entstand. Bei den folgenden Kongresswahlen des Jahres 1792 wurde er im zweiten Wahlbezirk von New York in das US-Repräsentantenhaus wiedergewählt, wo er am 4. März 1793 die Nachfolge von John Laurance antrat. Da er im Jahr 1794 auf eine erneute Kandidatur verzichtete, schied er nach dem 3. März 1795 aus dem Kongress aus. Tredwell nahm dann 1801 als Delegierter an der verfassungsgebenden Versammlung von New York teil. Danach war er zwischen 1803 und 1807 Mitglied im Senat von New York. Nach dem Ende seiner Amtszeit zog er sich von der politischen Bühne zurück und war bis zu seinem Tod am 30. Dezember 1831 in Plattsburgh als Vormundschafts- und Nachlassrichter im Clinton County tätig. Sein Leichnam wurde auf einem Privatfriedhof in Beekmantown beigesetzt.
Der Kongressabgeordnete Thomas Treadwell Davis war sein Enkel.

Thomas Tredwell (* February 6, 1743, in Smithtown, Province of New York; † December 30, 1831, in Plattsburgh, New York) was an American lawyer and politician. Between 1791 and 1795, he represented the state of New York in the U.S. House of Representatives.
Career
Thomas Tredwell graduated in 1764 from Princeton College in New Jersey, where he studied law. After being admitted to the bar, he began practicing in Plattsburgh. Tredwell also pursued a political career. As a delegate, he participated in the Provincial Congress in 1774 and 1775 and in the Constitutional Convention of New York in 1776 and 1777. He was then a member of the New York State Assembly from 1777 to 1783. In 1778, he became a judge at the probate court, a position he held until 1787. Afterwards, he served as a guardian and probate judge (surrogate) in Suffolk County until 1791. During this time, he sat in the New York State Senate from 1786 to 1789 and participated as a delegate in the Constitutional Convention of New York in 1788.
Politically, Tredwell was an opponent of the then federal government under President George Washington (Anti-Administration faction). In May 1791, he was elected in the first electoral district of New York to the U.S. House of Representatives, which was still meeting in Philadelphia, to fill the vacancy caused by the death of James Townsend. In the subsequent congressional elections of 1792, he was re-elected in the second electoral district of New York to the U.S. House, where he took office on March 4, 1793, succeeding John Laurance. Since he declined to run again in 1794, he left Congress after March 3, 1795. Tredwell then participated in the Constitutional Convention of New York in 1801 as a delegate. Afterwards, he was a member of the New York State Senate from 1803 to 1807. After the end of his term, he withdrew from the political stage and served as a guardian and probate judge in Clinton County until his death on December 30, 1831, in Plattsburgh. His body was buried in a private cemetery in Beekmantown.

Louis Jordan Beyer (born 19 May 2000) is a German professional footballer who plays as a centre-back for Premier League club Burnley. He has represented Germany at U16 through U21 youth levels.
Career
Borussia Mönchengladbach
Youth
Beyer started his career at hometown club DJK-SV Thomasstadt Kempen. As a player of the under-13 side he moved to the youth academy of Fortuna Düsseldorf in 2012. For the 2015–16 season, he joined the under-16 team of Borussia Mönchengladbach. In the 2016–17 season he advanced to the under-17s, with whom he played in the Under 17 Bundesliga. For the 2017–18 season, Beyer moved up to the under-19s, for whom he had already made an appearance in the Under 19 Bundesliga in the pre-season.
First team
For the 2018–19 season, Beyer was promoted to the first team under head coach Dieter Hecking. Under Hecking, he made his professional debut in the first round of the DFB-Pokal. In September 2018, Beyer signed his first professional contract, keeping him at the club until June 2022. Over the entire season, Beyer completed nine appearances in the Bundesliga, during which he was in the starting lineup eight times. In addition, he made four appearances for the second team in the fourth-tier Regionalliga West as well as once in the Under 19 Bundesliga.
During the first half of the 2019–20 season, under new head coach Marco Rose, Beyer made three appearances in the Bundesliga; all as a substitute. In addition, he appeared four times for the second team in the Regionalliga.
Loan to Hamburger SV
On 14 January 2020, Beyer joined Hamburger SV on loan in the 2. Bundesliga, reuniting him with Hecking who had become head coach there. Before the season was suspended in March due to the COVID-19 pandemic, Beyer had made seven appearances in the starting lineup. As the season was continued in mid-May, Josha Vagnoman, who Beyer had been brought in to replace due to a long-term injury, returned to the right-back position. This meant that Beyer moved to the centre back position alongside Timo Letschert. Beyer, however, soon lost his starting position to Rick van Drongelen after recording a weak performance, and was benched as a consequence. After that, Beyer only made sporadic appearances for HSV. In total, he played 11 times for HSV, who missed the promotion after ending in 4th place. With his loan deal ending, Beyer returned to Mönchengladbach after the season.
Burnley
Beyer joined EFL Championship club Burnley on a season-long loan on 1 September 2022. He made his Burney debut on 13 September in a 1–1 away draw at Deepdale to Preston North End, coming on in the 62nd minute in place of injured Charlie Taylor. He made his first start four days later in place of Taylor, forming a centre-back duo with fellow loanee Taylor Harwood-Bellis in Burnley's 2–1 home victory against Bristol City. He scored his first goal for the club in a 1-0 win over Coventry City on 14 January 2023.
On 10 May 2023 Burnley announced they had activated the option to buy clause in his loan contract; he joined the club on a permanent four year deal.
Personal life
Beyer was referred to by his first name, Louis, before his move to Borussia Monchengladbach. As he had Louis Hiepen as a namesake in his team, he was called "Jordan" – his second name – from then on.

Louis Jordan Beyer (* 19. Mai 2000 in Kempen) ist ein deutscher Fußballspieler. Er steht seit September 2022 beim FC Burnley unter Vertrag und ist deutscher Nachwuchsnationalspieler.
Karriere
Beyer begann in seiner Heimat beim SV Thomasstadt. Als Spieler der D-Jugend (U13) wechselte er 2012 in das Nachwuchsleistungszentrum von Fortuna Düsseldorf. Zur Saison 2015/16 erfolgte der Wechsel in die zweite B-Jugend (U16) von Borussia Mönchengladbach. In der Saison 2016/17 rückte er in die U17 auf, mit der er in der B-Junioren-Bundesliga spielte. Zur Saison 2017/18 rückte Beyer in die U19 auf, für die er bereits in der Vorsaison ein Spiel in der A-Junioren-Bundesliga absolviert hatte.
Zur Saison 2018/19 rückte Beyer unter dem Cheftrainer Dieter Hecking in den Profikader auf. Unter Hecking debütierte er in der ersten Runde des DFB-Pokal bei den Profis. Im September 2018 erhielt Beyer seinen ersten Profivertrag. Über die gesamte Saison absolvierte Beyer 9 Spiele in der Bundesliga, wobei er 8-mal in der Startelf stand. Zudem spielte er 4-mal in der zweiten Mannschaft in der viertklassigen Regionalliga West sowie einmal in der A-Junioren-Bundesliga.
In der Hinrunde der Saison 2019/20 kam Beyer unter Cheftrainer Marco Rose lediglich zu 3 Einwechslungen in der Bundesliga. Daneben spielte er 3-mal in der Regionalligamannschaft. In der Winterpause wechselte Beyer bis zum Saisonende auf Leihbasis zum von Dieter Hecking trainierten Zweitligisten Hamburger SV, dem mit Jan Gyamerah (Wadenbeinbruch) und Josha Vagnoman (Mittelfußbruch) 2 Rechtsverteidiger langfristig fehlten. Bis zur Saisonunterbrechung, die im März aufgrund der COVID-19-Pandemie nötig geworden war, absolvierte Beyer alle 7 Spiele in der Startelf. Als die Saison Mitte Mai mit dem 26. Spieltag fortgeführt wurde, kehrte Vagnoman auf die Rechtsverteidigerposition zurück. Beyer rückte dafür neben Timo Letschert in die Innenverteidigung, verlor diesen Platz aber nach einer schwachen Leistung an Rick van Drongelen und saß am 27. Spieltag erstmals die komplette Spielzeit auf der Bank. Anschließend kam Beyer nur noch sporadisch zum Einsatz. Insgesamt spielte er 11-mal für den HSV (9-mal von Beginn), der auf dem 4. Platz den Aufstieg verpasste. Mit seinem Vertragsende kehrte er nach Mönchengladbach zurück.
Ende Dezember 2021 verlängerte die Borussia Beyers Kontrakt vorzeitig bis 2026. In der Saison 2021/22 kam er insgesamt in 17 Bundesligaspielen zum Einsatz. In der Saison 2022/23 wurde er in den ersten 4 Partien vom neuen Cheftrainer Daniel Farke nicht berücksichtigt.
Am 1. September 2022 wurde Beyer bis Saisonende an den englischen Zweitligisten FC Burnley ausgeliehen, wo sich der Abwehrspieler mehr Spielpraxis erhofft. Unter dem Cheftrainer Vincent Kompany kam er in 30 Ligaspielen zum Einsatz, wobei er 29-mal in der Startelf stand und ein Tor erzielte. Die Mannschaft wurde mit 10 Punkten Vorsprung Meister und stieg in die Premier League auf. Anschließend wurde Beyer zur Saison 2023/24 fest verpflichtet und mit einem Vertrag bis zum 30. Juni 2027 ausgestattet.
Trivia
Beyers Rufname war bis zu seinem Wechsel zu Borussia Mönchengladbach Louis. Da es mit Louis Hiepen einen Namensvetter in seiner Mannschaft gab, wurde er fortan Jordan genannt. Seinen zweiten Vornamen erhielt er von seinem basketballbegeisterten Vater in Anlehnung an Michael Jordan.

In the first half of the 2019/20 season, Beyer made only 3 substitutions in the Bundesliga under head coach Marco Rose. He also played 3 times for the reserve team. During the winter break, Beyer was loaned out until the end of the season to second division club Hamburger SV, coached by Dieter Hecking, which was missing two right-backs for the long term: Jan Gyamerah (fibula fracture) and Josha Vagnoman (metatarsal fracture). Until the season was interrupted in March due to the COVID-19 pandemic, Beyer played all 7 games in the starting lineup. When the season resumed in mid-May after the 26th matchday, Vagnoman returned to the right-back position.

Doug Atkins
|
Douglas Leon Atkins (May 8, 1930 – December 30, 2015) was an American football defensive end who played for the Cleveland Browns, the Chicago Bears, and the New Orleans Saints in the National Football League (NFL). He played college football for the Tennessee Volunteers under head coach Robert Neyland. He is a member of the College Football Hall of Fame and the Pro Football Hall of Fame.
Atkins was a fierce defender who was known for using his immense size and agility to his advantage. At , Atkins often batted passes down at the line of scrimmage and used his skills as a high jump champion to leapfrog blockers and get to the quarterback. Atkins was one of the first great exclusively defensive players in professional football and, along with fellow Hall of Famer Gino Marchetti, revolutionized the defensive end position.
Amateur career
Atkins was born May 8, 1930, in Humboldt, Tennessee. He attended Humboldt High School and played for the school's basketball team, which won the state championship in 1949 with an undefeated record. He enrolled at the University of Tennessee to play for the Tennessee Volunteers of the Southeastern Conference (SEC) on a basketball scholarship, but once American football head coach Bob Neyland saw his combination of size and agility, he was recruited for the football team. Atkins played on the 1951 Tennessee Volunteers football team that won the national championship. He earned All-America honors in 1952. Atkins is one of the few players in Tennessee history to have his number retired. He was considered one of the, if not the, most dominant defensive players in SEC history. Atkins was the only unanimous selection to the SEC All Quarter-Century team and was selected as the overall SEC "Player of the Quarter-Century" for the years 1950 to 1975. At Tennessee, Atkins also lettered in three seasons in track and field and one season in basketball. He finished runner-up in the high jump at the 1952 Southeastern Conference championships with a mark of 6' 6" (1.98m) which placed him 25th in the world that year.
Professional career
The Cleveland Browns selected Atkins with the 11th overall selection in the 1953 NFL draft. He played his first two seasons in the NFL with the Browns, winning the NFL Eastern Conference in 1953, and the NFL Championship in 1954. The Browns traded Atkins and Ken Gorgal to the Chicago Bears for a third-round and a sixth-round pick in the 1956 NFL draft. According to Pat Summerall, Atkins was traded by Paul Brown for burping out loud in a team meeting. In Chicago, Atkins quickly became the leader of a devastating defensive unit. With the Bears, Atkins was a First-team All-Pro selection in 1958, 1960, 1961, and 1963, along with being a starter in the Pro Bowl in eight of his last nine years with Chicago. Atkins' reputation of being rebellious of authority continued in Chicago. Once, Atkins was ordered by a coach to run laps during practice and was told to wear his helmet while doing so. When the coach looked at Atkins again, he was running laps wearing only his helmet, having stripped himself of his uniform and pads.
At the 1966 Pro Bowl, Atkins announced his retirement from football. He changed his mind and signed with the Bears for the 1966 season. Before the 1967 season, Atkins requested a trade from Chicago and was traded to the New Orleans Saints. He suffered a fractured knee cap during the 1968 season. He retired after the 1969 season. On the final play of his NFL career, Atkins sacked Pittsburgh Steelers quarterback Dick Shiner, preserving the Saints' 27–24 victory in the 1969 season finale.

Honors
Atkins was inducted into the Pro Football Hall of Fame in 1982 and the College Football Hall of Fame in 1985. He has also been inducted into the Chicagoland Sports Hall of Fame. During John W. Mecom Jr.'s ownership of the Saints, his #81 was retired. However, it was unretired in 1993. His collegiate jersey number, #91, was retired by the University of Tennessee in 2005.
The NFL Network ranked him as the number 9 Pass Rusher of All Time in its Top Ten show. During a 1983 segment about Atkins on the NFL Films show "This Is the NFL", legendary narrator John Facenda described Atkins "like a storm rolling over a Kansas farmhouse. He came from all directions, and all there was to do was to tie down what you could, and hope he didn't take the roof".
Personal life
Atkins married twice. His first wife was from Humboldt, and he married his second wife, from Milan, Tennessee, after the death of his first wife. He played a minor acting role as "Jebbo" in the 1975 film, Breakheart Pass, starring Charles Bronson. After he retired from the NFL, Atkins worked in various jobs, including as an exterminator, as a pipe system manager, and selling caskets to funeral homes.
Atkins died of natural causes at Fort Sanders Regional Medical Center in Knoxville, Tennessee, on December 30, 2015, at the age of 85. He was survived by his wife, brother, and three sons.

Collegekarriere
Im Jahr 1950 erhielt Atkins ein Basketballstipendium an der University of Tennessee.

Atkins nahm das Angebot an. Die Footballmannschaft seines Colleges, die "Tennessee Volunteers" setzte ihn zunächst als Defensive Tackle in der Defense der Mannschaft ein. Sein Team zog 1950 in den Cotton Bowl ein und gewann das Spiel gegen die University of Texas at Austin mit 20:14. Die amerikanische Presse wählte die Volunteers in diesem Jahr zum nationalen Collegemeister. Ab dem Spieljahr 1951 lief Atkins als Defensive End auf.

Douglas Leon "Doug" Atkins (born May 8, 1930, in Humboldt, Tennessee; died December 30, 2015, in Knoxville, Tennessee), nicknamed "Big Doug," was an American football player from the United States. He played as a defensive end in the National Football League (NFL) for the Cleveland Browns, the Chicago Bears, and the New Orleans Saints.
Youth
Doug Atkins was born in Tennessee and moved with his parents to California after his birth. After returning to his hometown, he played basketball in high school. During the 1949/1950 season, he led his team to 44 consecutive victories and was selected for the state team. Atkins did not play American football in high school.
Playing Career
College Career
In 1950, Atkins received a basketball scholarship to the University of Tennessee. Since his college coaches quickly noticed that his athletic abilities—he was 2.03 meters tall—also made him a good football player, they tried to persuade him to play football as well. Atkins accepted the offer. His college football team, the "Tennessee Volunteers," initially used him as a defensive tackle in the team's defense. His team participated in the 1950 Cotton Bowl and won the game against the University of Texas at Austin with 20:14. The American press named the Volunteers the national college champions that year. From the 1951 season onward, Atkins played as a defensive end. That year, the team successfully defended the national title, although they lost the Sugar Bowl to the University of Maryland with 28:13. In 1952, Atkins was selected as an All-American. Atkins was also a successful track and field athlete. He won the conference championship in high jump.
Professional Career
Doug Atkins was drafted in 1953 by the Cleveland Browns in the first round as the 11th pick. The Browns' head coach, Paul Brown, used him in the team's defense. Atkins played there alongside Len Ford as a defensive end. His annual salary in his rookie year was $6,800. In 1953, the Browns were one of the best teams in the NFL but were defeated by the Detroit Lions in the NFL Championship game with 17:16. After the season, Atkins received an offer from the Baltimore Bullets, a team in the National Basketball Association (NBA). The Bullets offered him an annual income of $7,500. Atkins declined this offer.
In 1954, Atkins' team again reached the NFL Championship game. This time, they defeated the Lions, coached by Buddy Parker, with 56:10.
After the 1955 season, Atkins transferred to the Chicago Bears, coached by George Halas. In 1956, Paddy Driscoll took over as head coach of the Bears and led the team to the NFL Championship game against the New York Giants. The Giants won with 47:7. In 1958, Halas returned as the Bears' coach, but his team only made it back to the championship game in 1963. With the Bears' 14:10 victory over the Giants, Atkins won his second championship title.
In 1967, Atkins joined the newly founded New Orleans Saints. He remained loyal to the team coached by Tom Fears until his retirement in 1969. He declined an offer from the Washington Redskins with a salary of $100,000 to continue his career there.
After His Playing Career
After his playing career, Douglas Atkins worked in various jobs, including in a coffin carpentry. He was married twice and had one son. Atkins found his final resting place in his hometown at Rose Hill Cemetery.
Honors
Atkins played in the Pro Bowl, the all-star game of the best players of a season, eight times. After the 1958 Pro Bowl, he was named the most valuable player of the game. Atkins was selected ten times as an All-Pro. He is a member of the NFL 1960s All-Decade Team, the Pro Football Hall of Fame, the Chicagoland Sports Hall of Fame, and the College Football Hall of Fame. His jersey number 81 was retired by the Saints, and his number 91 is no longer issued at the University of Tennessee.

Heinz Waaske
|
Heinz Waaske (1924 – 1995) was a German camera designer, notably father of the Rollei 35.
Early career
Born in Berlin, Heinz Waaske started his career as a precision mechanic apprentice at Telefunken in Sickingenstraße in Berlin, where he studied from 1939 to 1942. After serving in the German army during World War II, being severely wounded and taken prisoner, he joined Krenzin in Berlin-Kreuzberg. There he encountered camera technology for the first time, and developed a great taste for it. For financial reasons, he could not study engineering. He started designing a 16mm miniature camera in his spare time, and sold the prototype in 1948 for 3.000 Marks.
Work with Wirgin
From 1948, Waaske transferred to the Wirgin brothers company in Wiesbaden. He worked as a precision mechanic and soon rose to head of the prototype workshop, to technical designer, and eventually to chief designer. He first improved the medium format 6x9 cameras, allowing cheaper manufacturing procedures.
By then a chief designer, he decided to design a mirror reflex camera, which materialised as the Edixa miniature reflex. Wirgin joined the club of the renowned mirror reflex manufacturers. Waaske further designed all the successors to the Edixa, including the Edixamat reflex and the Edixa Electronica.
When he designed the Edixa 16, Waaske had to design the shutter himself, as suppliers could not provide sufficiently small mechanisms. The Edixa 16 was a camera using the 16 mm film cartridges by Rollei, a cheaper alternative to the expensive Rollei cameras.
Waaske had understood that there was a market for small cameras which would use 135 film rather than the ultra-miniature formats. He made the design in his living room and had Wirgin Musterbau manufacture the parts for the prototype. When Waaske showed the prototype to Wirgin Musterbau, he was told "So, you've wasted my time and my equipment for your own projects?" Wirgin then left the camera business and the company closed.
At the time, the only other camera manufacturers were Leitz and Kodak, who had no interest in hiring Waaske.
Career with Rollei
Waaske joined Rollei in January 1965, and at first did not mention his attempts for a compact 135 camera. The chief of development, Richard Weiß, had him work on the Rolleiflex SL 26.
When Waaske showed his pocket camera prototype to Heinrich Peesel, the head of Rollei, he was so enthusiastic about it that he decided the camera should immediately be developed further by Waaske for mass production, but using parts only from Rollei's suppliers.
The Rollei 35 was introduced at photokina 1966 and became instantly an international success.
Later, Waaske introduced improvements in the loading system of small format reflex cameras which were mass-produced with the Rollei Rolleiflex SL2000F.
Waaske's last contribution to Rollei was the Rolleimatic, which was designed to be as easy to use as the Instamatic camera, but use the 135 format, allowing for a better image quality. Waaske resigned his position at Rollei in 1978, before the introduction of the Rolleimatic on the market, in 1980.
Career as independent engineer
From 1978, Waaske had his own technical design office in Braunschweig, working not only on cameras but also, for instance, on loudspeaker systems which went into production with Blaupunkt. His work was characterised by a "technical minimalism", with small and scarce pieces providing as many functions as possible.
Waaske was very inclined towards practical usefulness, and he was very critical of the collection edition of the Rollei 35, with casing made of precious metal. His aim was at providing compact and functional to everybody. He also tartly rejected requests for designing military equipment, arguing that after his experience of the Second World War, he had had enough with war.
He died in 1995 in Braunschweig, and a street of the city was named Heinz Waaske Weg in his honour.

Heinz Waaske (* 4. Oktober 1924 in Berlin; † 31. Juli 1995 in Braunschweig) war ein bedeutender deutscher Kamera-Konstrukteur. Die größte Bekanntheit unter seinen Konstruktionen erreichte die Rollei 35.
Anfänge
Heinz Waaske ging bei Telefunken in der Sickingenstraße, Berlin-Moabit, als Feinmechaniker in die Lehre, die er nach drei Jahren im Jahr 1942 abschloss. Nach Wehrmacht, schwerer Verwundung und Kriegsgefangenschaft arbeitete er bei der Firma Krenzin in Berlin-Kreuzberg, wo er erstmals mit der Kameratechnik in Berührung kam, die ihn sofort überaus faszinierte. Von einem Ingenieurstudium, das er gerne absolviert hätte, sah er aus Kostengründen ab. Neben seiner Arbeit konstruierte er eine 16-mm-Kleinstbildkamera, deren Muster er 1948 zusammen mit den Zeichnungen für 3.000 DM an die Besatzer verkaufte.
Bei Wirgin
Bereits 1948 wechselte Waaske zur Firma Gebrüder Wirgin, Wiesbaden. Dort begann er als Feinmechaniker, stieg dann aber sehr schnell zunächst zum Leiter der Versuchswerkstatt, dann zum Konstrukteur und schließlich zum Chefkonstrukteur auf. Zunächst verbesserte er die damals noch in der Produktion befindlichen 6×9-Klappkameras für Rollfilm, die nach einer kostengünstigeren Fertigung verlangten. Als Chefkonstrukteur ließ er seinem Vorschlag Ich werde jetzt eine Spiegelreflex-Kamera konstruieren die Edixa-Reflex für Kleinbildfilm folgen, mit der Wirgin zum Kreis der renommierten Spiegelreflex-Hersteller aufstieg. Waaske konstruierte auch sämtliche Nachfolgemodelle bis hin zur Edixamat Reflex und der Edixa-Electronica. Bei Wirgin nahm man aufgrund des großen Erfolgs sogar sämtliche Kleinbild-Sucherkameras aus dem Programm, mit Ausnahme der Stereokamera, die Waaske aus zwei Edixa I ebenfalls geschaffen hatte.
Für die Edixa 16 musste Waaske sogar einen Verschluss selber konstruieren, da die Zulieferer keinen ausreichend kleinen anbieten konnten. Es handelte sich um eine Kamera für die 16-mm-Filmpatronen von Rollei, die erheblich günstiger als das Pendant Rollei 16 angeboten werden konnte. Waaske erkannte dabei, dass sich die Kunden zwar eine kleine Kamera, aber kein kleines Filmformat wünschten, und konstruierte daraufhin eine möglichst kleine Kamera für die üblichen Kleinbildpatronen des Typs 135. Er fertigte in seinem Wohnzimmer die Zeichnungen an und ließ im Wirgin-Musterbau die Teile fertigen. Als er Heinrich Wirgin den fertigen Prototyp zeigte, bekam er lediglich zu hören: Da haben Sie für Ihre Entwicklung meine Zeit im Musterbau verbraten. Wirgin gab nämlich die Produktion von Fotogeräten auf und schloss seine Firma.
Nun waren Kamerakonstrukteure in jenen Jahren gesucht, Dr. Ludwig Leitz zeigte dennoch kein Interesse, Waaskes Entwurf zu fertigen. Bei Kodak erging es Waaske ebenso.
Bei Rollei
Heinz Waaske begann dann im Januar 1965 bei Rollei, wobei er seine kompakte Kleinbild-Kamera unerwähnt ließ. Der Entwicklungsleiter Richard Weiß übertrug ihm die Konstruktion der Rolleiflex SL 26 (siehe Rollei), welche er aber schon im März unterbrechen musste. Als er seine Taschenkamera vorführte, gab sich der Rollei-Chef Dr. Heinrich Peesel derart begeistert, dass Waaske sie sofort zur Serienreife weiterentwickeln musste. Auf der Photokina 1966 konnte der Welterfolg Rollei 35 dann vorgestellt werden. Im weiteren Verlauf entwarf Waaske dann unter anderem noch das Wechselmagazinsystem für Kleinbild-Spiegelreflexkameras, welches als Rolleiflex SL 2000 F in Serie ging. Es kamen Kameras für Instamatic- und Pocketfilm dazu.
Die letzte Kamerakonstruktion für Rollei war die Rolleimatic. Die Rolleimatic sollte die einfache Bedienung einer Instamatic-Kamera auch für Kleinbildfilm bieten, bei einer besseren Bildqualität. Waaske verließ Rollei auf eigenen Wunsch 1978 noch vor Markteinführung der Rolleimatic im Jahr 1980.
Als selbstständiger Konstrukteur
Ab 1978 war Heinz Waaske als selbstständiger Konstrukteur in Braunschweig tätig, wobei er nicht nur Kameras, sondern beispielsweise auch Lautsprechersysteme für das Unternehmen Blaupunkt schuf. Die Arbeiten Waaskes zeichneten sich stets durch einen „technischen Minimalismus“ aus, bei dem geschickte Kombination weniger Bauteile ein Maximum an Funktion bei geringen Ausmaßen erreichte.
Waaskes Priorität galt der praktischen Verwendbarkeit seiner Konstruktionen. So stand er späten Sammlerausgaben der Rollei 35, die mit verschiedenen Edelmetallauflagen herauskamen, kritisch gegenüber. Sein Ziel war es eine kompakte, funktionelle Kamera für jedermann zu schaffen.
Angebote, militärisches Gerät zur Überwachung und Aufklärung zu konstruieren, lehnte Heinz Waaske ab. Nach seinen persönlichen Erfahrungen im Zweiten Weltkrieg war seine Ansicht: „Vom Krieg habe ich genug“.
Nach seinem Tod wurde in Braunschweig der Heinz-Waaske-Weg nach ihm benannt.

Heinz Waaske (* October 4, 1924, in Berlin; † July 31, 1995, in Braunschweig) was a significant German camera designer. The greatest fame among his designs was achieved with the Rollei 35.
Beginnings
Heinz Waaske completed an apprenticeship as a precision mechanic at Telefunken on Sickingenstraße in Berlin-Moabit, which he finished after three years in 1942. After serving in the Wehrmacht, suffering serious injuries, and being a prisoner of war, he worked at the company Krenzin in Berlin-Kreuzberg, where he first came into contact with camera technology, which immediately fascinated him greatly. Out of financial reasons, he forewent a university degree in engineering, although he would have liked to pursue one. Alongside his work, he designed a 16mm small-format camera, whose prototype he sold in 1948 along with drawings for 3,000 DM to the occupying forces.
At Wirgin
Already in 1948, Waaske moved to the company Gebrüder Wirgin in Wiesbaden. There he started as a precision mechanic, but quickly advanced to head of the testing workshop, then to designer, and finally to chief designer. Initially, he improved the 6×9 folding cameras for roll film that were still in production, which demanded more cost-effective manufacturing. As chief designer, he proposed to build a single-lens reflex camera, the Edixa-Reflex for 35mm film, which allowed Wirgin to join the circle of renowned SLR manufacturers. Waaske also designed all subsequent models up to the Edixamat Reflex and the Edixa-Electronica. Due to its great success, Wirgin even discontinued all other 35mm viewfinder cameras, except for the stereo camera, which Waaske also created from two Edixa I cameras.
For the Edixa 16, Waaske had to design a shutter himself because suppliers could not offer a sufficiently small one. It was a camera for the 16mm film cartridges from Rollei, which could be offered significantly cheaper than the Rollei 16 counterpart. Waaske realized that customers wanted a small camera, but not necessarily a small film format, so he designed a very compact camera for the standard 135 film cartridges. He made the drawings in his living room and had the parts manufactured at Wirgin’s prototype shop. When he showed the finished prototype to Heinrich Wirgin, he was told: "You have wasted my time in the prototype shop on your development." Wirgin then ceased production of photographic equipment and closed his company.
At that time, camera designers were in demand, but Dr. Ludwig Leitz showed no interest in Waaske’s design. The same was true at Kodak.
At Rollei
Heinz Waaske started working at Rollei in January 1965, but did not mention his compact 35mm camera. Development manager Richard Weiß assigned him to design the Rolleiflex SL 26 (see Rollei), but he had to interrupt this work as early as March. When he demonstrated his pocket camera, the Rollei boss, Dr. Heinrich Peesel, was so enthusiastic that Waaske had to immediately develop it to series production. At Photokina 1966, the world-famous Rollei 35 was introduced. Subsequently, Waaske also designed the change magazine system for 35mm SLR cameras, which was produced as the Rolleiflex SL 2000 F. Cameras for Instamatic and Pocket film formats were added.
The last camera design for Rollei was the Rolleimatic. The Rolleimatic was intended to offer the ease of use of an Instamatic camera with the improved image quality of 35mm film. Waaske left Rollei voluntarily in 1978, even before the Rolleimatic was launched in 1980.
As an Independent Designer
From 1978, Heinz Waaske worked as an independent designer in Braunschweig, creating not only cameras but also, for example, speaker systems for the company Blaupunkt. Waaske’s work was always characterized by "technical minimalism," where clever combinations of fewer components achieved maximum functionality in minimal size.
Waaske prioritized the practical usability of his designs. He was openly critical of late collector editions of the Rollei 35, which were released with various precious metal overlays. His goal was to create a compact, functional camera accessible to everyone.
He refused offers to design military equipment for surveillance and reconnaissance. Based on his personal experiences in World War II, his view was: "I’ve had enough of war."
After his death, a path in Braunschweig was named after him: Heinz-Waaske-Weg.

In the 1960s and 1970s, he played leading roles in international film productions, including The Millionaire's Treasure, Donegal, King of the Rebels, The Countess and Her Colonel, Leo, the War Hero, or The Cat and the Canary.
Life and Career
Robert Peter McEnery was born in 1940 in Walsall, Staffordshire, to Charles and Ada Mary (née Brinson) McEnery. From an early age, Peter McEnery was introduced to the craft of theater under the guidance of Iris Warren. McEnery made his debut through a theater internship in 1958. Two years later, he had his first professional appearance in London. Since then, he has been closely associated with the Royal Shakespeare Company and has played many important character roles on stage, including the title role in Ron Daniels' 1979 production of Pericles, Prince of Tyrus, Oberon in the 1981 BBC Television Shakespeare production of A Midsummer Night’s Dream, or in 1982 in the production of The Life and Adventures of Nicholas Nickleby.
McEnery’s acting career on television began in the late 1950s with smaller roles in British TV series such as ITV Television Playhouse, ITV Play of the Week, International Detective, or Armchair Theatre. He gained the greatest recognition on television in the mid-1970s with his dramatic roles as Edwin Clayhanger in the series Clayhanger, which he portrayed in 22 episodes, and in 1979 in the British adventure series The Aphrodite Inheritance, where he played David Collier in 8 episodes. In 1986, he appeared as surveyor Harry Caines in 10 episodes of the TV series The Collectors.
His film career began in 1960 with Ronald Neame’s military drama Once a Hero. In the early 1960s, he signed a contract with Walt Disney Company and soon played leading roles in films such as The Millionaire’s Treasure alongside Hayley Mills and in 1966 as a freedom fighter in Michael O’Herlihy’s adventure film Donegal, King of the Rebels. After his time with Disney, he appeared in international productions such as Roger Vadim’s The Beut, alongside Jane Fonda and Michel Piccoli, in Robert Hossein’s historical drama I Killed Rasputin alongside Gert Fröbe, or in Duccio Tessari’s comedy Better a Young Widow.
In 1970, he reached the peak of his film career with leading roles in Jerzy Skolimowski’s adventure film The Countess and Her Colonel as a partner to Claudia Cardinale, the title role in Douglas Hickox’s comedy Be Nice to Mr. Sloane, based on the play by playwright Joe Orton, or in Marcel Camus’ anti-war film Leo, the War Hero alongside comedian Bourvil.
In the 1970s, he was then seen only sporadically in films such as Freddie Francis’ prominent horror comedy Tales That Lead to Madness (1973), featuring actors like Kim Novak, Joan Collins, or Jack Hawkins; in Luigi Bazzoni’s 1975 mystery thriller Spuren auf dem Mond (Tracks on the Moon) alongside Florinda Bolkan; or in Radley Metzger’s horror comedy The Cat and the Canary (1978). In the 1980s, 1990s, and 2000s, Peter McEnery primarily played roles in theater or television.
Since the late 1950s, he has participated in more than 40 roles in international film and television productions.

Greasy Neale
|
Alfred Earle "Greasy" Neale (November 5, 1891November 2, 1973) was an American football and baseball player and coach.
Early life and playing career
Neale was born in Parkersburg, West Virginia. Although writers eventually assumed that Neale got his nickname, "Greasy", from his elusiveness on the football field, it actually arose during his youth, from a name-calling joust with a friend.
Baseball career
Neale played Major League Baseball as an outfielder with the Cincinnati Reds between 1916 and 1924 and briefly with the Philadelphia Phillies for part of the 1921 season. Neale was the starting right fielder for the championship-winning 1919 Reds. He batted .357 in the 1919 World Series and led the Reds with ten hits in their eight-game series win over the scandalous White Sox.
Neale spent all but 22 games of his baseball career with the Reds. He had a career batting average of .259 with 8 home runs, 200 RBI, and 139 stolen bases, and finished in the top ten in stolen bases in the National League four times. When football season came around, often he would leave baseball and fulfill his football duties (albeit playing about 90% of a baseball season most years, with the exception of 1919 when he played the entire season, including the World Series).
Football career
Neale also played professional football in the Ohio League with the Canton Bulldogs in 1917, the Dayton Triangles in 1918, and the Massillon Tigers in 1919. He starred as an end on Jim Thorpe's pre-World War I Canton Bulldogs as well as the Dayton Triangles in 1918 and Massillon Tigers in 1919. He coached the Triangles in 1918.
Coaching in college
Neale began his coaching career while still a professional player. He served as the head football coach at Muskingum College (1915), West Virginia Wesleyan College (1916–1917), Marietta College (1919–1920), Washington & Jefferson College (1921–1922), the University of Virginia (1923–1928), and West Virginia University (1931–1933), compiling a career college football record of 82–54–11. He coached basketball for two seasons at Marietta (1919–1921) as well, amassing a record of 26–11. He also served as an assistant football coach at Yale Bulldogs football for seven seasons (1934–1940).
At Washington & Jefferson, he led his 1921 squad to the Rose Bowl, where the Presidents played the California Golden Bears to a scoreless tie. At Virginia, Neale was also the head baseball coach from 1923 to 1929, tallying a mark of 80–73–2.
Independent football
Neale later coached the independent professional Ironton Tanks. He and Tanks quarterback Glenn Presnell claimed victories against the NFL's second-place New York Giants and third-place Chicago Bears in 1930. The team folded in 1931.
Coaching in the pros
Neale moved to the National Football League (NFL), serving as head coach of the Philadelphia Eagles from 1941 to 1950. From 1944 through 1949, Neale's Eagles finished second three times and in first place three times. The Eagles won the NFL Championship in 1948 and again in 1949, and became the first team to win back-to-back titles since the 1940-41 Chicago Bears by shutting out their opponents, beating the Chicago Cardinals 7–0 in the snow-ridden 1948 NFL Championship Game and the Los Angeles Rams 14–0 in the 1949 NFL Championship Game in a driving rain storm. It was the last championship for the Eagles until 1960. His offense was led by the passing of quarterback Tommy Thompson, the pass catching of future Hall of Fame end Pete Pihos, and the running of another Hall of Famer, Steve Van Buren. He tallied a mark of 66–44–5 including playoff games in his ten seasons with the club. Neale was inducted into the College Football Hall of Fame in 1967 and the Pro Football Hall of Fame in 1969. Both inductions recognized his coaching career.
Neale died in Florida at the age of 81 and is buried at Parkersburg Memorial Gardens in West Virginia.

Greasy Neale
|
Alfred Earle „Greasy“ Neale (* 5. November 1891 in Parkersburg,
West Virginia; † 2. November 1973 in Lake Worth, Florida) war ein US-amerikanischer American-Football-Trainer und Baseballspieler. Neale gewann als Head Coach der Philadelphia Eagles die Meisterschaft in der National Football League (NFL) und als Baseballspieler der Cincinnati Reds die Meisterschaft in der Major League Baseball (MLB).
Jugend
Greasy Neale arbeitete nach seinem Schulabschluss in einer Eisenmühle. Er wurde zum Schmieren der Maschinen eingesetzt, was ihm auch seinen Spitznamen „Greasy“ einbrachte. Da er seinen Vornamen wenig mochte, behielt er Greasy als Rufnamen bei. In der Mühle musste Neale täglich 16 Stunden bei einem Wochenlohn von 12,50 US-Dollar arbeiten.
Nach zwei Jahren kehrte Neale an die High School zurück und übernahm dort das Traineramt bei der Footballmannschaft. Im Jahr 1912 erhielt er ein Stipendium am West Virginia Wesleyan College. Gleichzeitig spielte er Baseball in einer unterklassigen Baseballmannschaft. Nach seinem Studienabschluss im Jahr 1914 spielte er weiterhin im Sommer Baseball in unterklassigen Ligen und trainierte im Herbst die Footballmannschaft des Muskingum Colleges.
Baseballspieler
Im Jahr 1916 erhielt Neale einen Vertrag von den Cincinnati Reds einer Baseballmannschaft der Major League Baseball und spielte dort als Outfielder. 1919 zog er mit seiner Mannschaft in die World Series ein.
Mit 5:3 Siegen konnten sich die Reds gegen die Chicago White Sox durchsetzen. Neale trug maßgeblich mit zehn Hits zum Sieg seiner Mannschaft bei. Erst nachträglich stellte sich heraus, dass zahlreiche Spieler der White Sox den Ausgang der Meisterschaft manipuliert hatten. Die betroffenen Spieler waren in einen Wettskandal verwickelt und hatten Bestechungsgelder angenommen. Die Endspielserie ging als Black Sox Skandal in die Geschichte des Baseballsports ein. Nach einem kurzen Gastspiel bei den Philadelphia Phillies im Laufe der Saison 1921, kehrte Neale im Jahr 1922 zu den Reds zurück und beendete dort nach der Saison 1924 nach 768 Spielen seine Baseballkarriere.
Footballspieler und -trainer
Bereits während seiner Baseballlaufbahn bei den Reds trainierte Neale die College-Football-Mannschaft an seinem ehemaligen College. Gleichzeitig spielte er schon ab 1912 bei den Canton Bulldogs professionell American Football. Die doppelte Verpflichtung war für Neale kein Problem, da die Bulldogs mit ihrem Starspieler Jim Thorpe lediglich zum Spiel am Sonntag antraten, aber nie miteinander trainierten. 1918 spielte er für die Dayton Triangles und ein Jahr später für die Massillon Tigers. Ab 1919 trainierte Neale für zwei Jahre die Footballmannschaft des Marietta Colleges. 1921 führte er als Trainer die Mannschaft des Washington & Jefferson College in den Rose Bowl. Das Spiel gegen die University of California endete mit einem 0:0.
Von 1923 bis 1929 betreute Neale für sechs Jahre die Footballmannschaft der University of Virginia. Greasy kehrte danach kurzzeitig zum Baseballsport zurück. Er trainierte 1929 die St. Louis Cardinals um ab 1930 als Spieler und Manager diverser unterklassiger Baseballmannschaften im Sommer in Erscheinung zu treten. Seine Karriere als Footballtrainer behielt er dabei immer im Auge und trainierte zeitweise ein Footballteam, welches keiner Liga angehörte. Zwischen 1930 und 1933 betreute er das Team der West Virginia University um danach als Assistenztrainer an der Yale University zu arbeiten. Bis zu seiner Verpflichtung durch die Philadelphia Eagles im Jahr 1941 behielt er dieses Amt inne.
Die ersten beiden Jahre als Trainer der Philadelphia Eagles waren für Neale wenig erfolgreich. Es wurden jeweils mehr Spiele
verloren als gewonnen. 1943 herrschte in der NFL aufgrund des Zweiten Weltkriegs ein Mangel an Spielern. Die Eagles waren zur Bildung einer Spielgemeinschaft mit den Pittsburgh Steelers gezwungen. Zusammen mit Walt Kiesling, dem Trainer der Steelers, betreute Neale für ein Jahr diese Spielgemeinschaft. Erstmals gewann er in dieser Saison mit den Phil-Pitt Steagles mehr Spiele in einer Spielrunde, als er verlor. Dies sollte sich bis zum Ende seiner Trainerlaufbahn auch nicht mehr ändern. In den nächsten Jahren gelang es Neale durch die Verpflichtung zahlreicher Spieler, die nach ihrer Karriere Aufnahme in die Pro Football Hall of Fame fanden, aus den Eagles ein Spitzenteam zu formen. So konnten der Runningback Steve Van Buren, der End Pete Pihos oder der Center Alex Wojciechowicz an das Team gebunden werden. Im Jahr 1947 zog Neale mit seinem Team zum ersten Mal in das NFL-Meisterschaftsspiel ein, wo man allerdings den von Jimmy Conzelman betreuten Chicago Cardinals mit 28:21 unterlag. Es sollte die einzige Endspielniederlage von Neale bleiben. In den nächsten beiden Jahren sollten die Eagles die NFL dominieren. Im Jahr 1948 gewannen sie das Endspiel gegen die Cardinals mit 7:0. 1949 konnten sie sich gegen die Los Angeles Rams mit 14:0 durchsetzen. Nach der Saison 1950 beendete Greasy Neale seine Trainerlaufbahn.
Familiäres
Greasy Neale war verheiratet und lebte zum Zeitpunkt seines Todes in einem Pflegeheim. Er ist in seiner Geburtsstadt auf dem Parkersburg Memorial Garden beerdigt.
Ehrungen
Earle Neale ist Mitglied in der College Football Hall of Fame, in der Pennsylvania Sports Hall of Fame und in der Philadelphia Sports Hall of Fame sowie in der Pro Football Hall of Fame. Die Philadelphia Eagles ehren ihn auf der Eagles Hall of Fame. Im Jahr 1948 wurde er zum NFL Coach of the Year gewählt.

Alfred Earle "Greasy" Neale (* November 5, 1891, in Parkersburg, West Virginia; † November 2, 1973, in Lake Worth, Florida) was an American football coach and baseball player from the United States. Neale won the championship in the National Football League (NFL) as head coach of the Philadelphia Eagles and the championship in Major League Baseball (MLB) as a player for the Cincinnati Reds.
Youth
Greasy Neale worked in an iron mill after finishing school. He was used to grease the machines, which also earned him his nickname "Greasy." Since he didn't like his first name very much, he kept Greasy as his nickname. In the mill, Neale had to work 16 hours daily for a weekly wage of $12.50.
After two years, Neale returned to high school and took over as coach of the football team there. In 1912, he received a scholarship to West Virginia Wesleyan College. At the same time, he played baseball for a minor league team. After graduating in 1914, he continued to play summer baseball in lower leagues and coached the football team at Muskingum College in the fall.
Baseball Player
In 1916, Neale signed a contract with the Cincinnati Reds, a Major League Baseball team, and played as an outfielder there. In 1919, he and his team advanced to the World Series.
The Reds defeated the Chicago White Sox with a series score of 5-3. Neale contributed significantly to his team's victory with ten hits. It was only later revealed that many White Sox players had manipulated the outcome of the championship. The involved players were involved in a betting scandal and had accepted bribes. The series became known as the Black Sox Scandal in baseball history. After a brief stint with the Philadelphia Phillies during the 1921 season, Neale returned to the Reds in 1922 and ended his baseball career after the 1924 season, having played 768 games.
Football Player and Coach
During his baseball career with the Reds, Neale also coached the college football team at his former college. At the same time, he had been playing professionally for the Canton Bulldogs in American football since 1912. The dual commitment was not a problem for Neale, as the Bulldogs only played on Sundays with their star player Jim Thorpe and never trained together. In 1918, he played for the Dayton Triangles, and a year later, for the Massillon Tigers. From 1919, Neale coached the football team at Marietta College for two years. In 1921, he led the Washington & Jefferson College team to the Rose Bowl as coach. The game against the University of California ended in a 0-0 draw.
From 1923 to 1929, Neale coached the football team at the University of Virginia for six years. Greasy then briefly returned to baseball. In 1929, he coached the St. Louis Cardinals, and from 1930, he appeared as a player and manager of various minor league baseball teams in the summer. He always kept an eye on his football coaching career and at times coached a football team that was not affiliated with any league. Between 1930 and 1933, he managed the team at West Virginia University, before working as an assistant coach at Yale University. He held this position until he was hired by the Philadelphia Eagles in 1941.
The first two years as coach of the Philadelphia Eagles were not very successful for Neale. More games were lost than won each season. In 1943, due to World War II, the NFL faced a shortage of players. The Eagles were forced to form a joint team with the Pittsburgh Steelers. Together with Walt Kiesling, the Steelers' coach, Neale managed this joint team for a year. For the first time, he won more games than he lost in a season with the Phil-Pitt Steagles. This trend would continue for the rest of his coaching career. In the following years, Neale managed to build a top team by signing numerous players who later were inducted into the Pro Football Hall of Fame. Notable players included running back Steve Van Buren, end Pete Pihos, and center Alex Wojciechowicz. In 1947, Neale's team reached the NFL Championship Game for the first time, but lost to Jimmy Conzelman's Chicago Cardinals, 28-21. This would remain Neale's only championship game loss. In the next two years, the Eagles dominated the NFL. In 1948, they won the final against the Cardinals with a score of 7-0. In 1949, they defeated the Los Angeles Rams 14-0. After the 1950 season, Greasy Neale ended his coaching career.
Family
Greasy Neale was married and was living in a nursing home at the time of his death. He is buried in his hometown at the Parkersburg Memorial Garden.
Honors
Earle Neale is a member of the College Football Hall of Fame, the Pennsylvania Sports Hall of Fame, the Philadelphia Sports Hall of Fame, and the Pro Football Hall of Fame. The Philadelphia Eagles honor him in the Eagles Hall of Fame. In 1948, he was named NFL Coach of the Year.

Carl Otto Reventlow

Carl Otto Reventlow (actually Karl [Carl] Christian Otto; 10 December 1817 in Store Heddinge 19 April 1873) became notable as the developer of a mnemonic system. He took the nom de plume Reventlow to distinguish himself from journalists with the same family name. There is, despite a personal acquaintance to some members to the Reventlow family of old Holstein-Mecklenburg nobility through his studies at university of Kiel, no family relation.
Biography
Otto took up studies in philology at the University of Copenhagen and the University of Kiel. There he became a member of the student fraternity Corps Saxonia and made contact to political circles and started first publications. Later he focused on the art of memory enhancement. After publishing a textbook on his mnemonic system in 1843, he travelled widely in Germany to popularize it. His most notable lectures were given in Leipzig, but also in Prague. A dictionary that substituted mnemonic terms for numbers and a guideline for the use of mnemotechnics in schools which listed some 3,000 mnemotechnically annotated facts from history and geography courses followed in 1844 and 1846, respectively.
The novelty of Otto's "substitution method" was disputed almost immediately, his opponents stating it to be just one more derivative of the method proposed by Aimé Paris. However, it received highly favorable reviews as well.
Otto subsequently involved himself in the revolutionary events of 1848, and came under police investigation in 1849. Apparently he was the Carl Otto-Reventlow who took over a Cincinnati radical, anti-monarchist periodical for German-speaking exiles, the Hochwächter, in 1857. He appears to have had some contact with Karl Marx, who referred to him in extremely derogatory terms in at least one of his letters.

Carl Christian Otto (auch: Carl Otto Reventlow; * 10. Dezember 1817 in Store Heddinge (Seeland); † 19. April 1873 in Kempten (Allgäu)) war ein Mnemotechniker und Journalist.
Leben
Der Sohn eines Malers studierte Philologie 1838/39 an der Christian-Albrechts-Universität zu Kiel. Otto war mit anderen im schleswig-holsteinischen Unabhängigkeitsstreben Aktiven wie Rudolf Schleiden, Friedrich Unzer, Andreas Springborn und Traugott Graf zu Reventlow Mitglied des Corps Saxonia Kiel. In Kiel wegen eines Duells relegiert, reiste er als Publizist nach England und in die Schweiz. Durch Intervention seiner Studienfreunde kehrte er nach Dänemark zurück, um 1844 an der Universität Kopenhagen weiter zu studieren.
Schon 1843 veröffentlichte er sein erstes Buch zur Mnemotechnik. Die von ihm entwickelte Methode der bildhaften Merktechniken wurde besonders in Schulen eingesetzt, um mathematisches und historischen Wissen aufzunehmen. Seine Lehrbücher erreichten hohe Auflagen und wurden über drei Jahrzehnte immer wieder erweitert und neu herausgegeben. Auf vielen Reisen durch Deutschland und Westeuropa kam er unter anderem nach Berlin, Leipzig, Danzig und Prag, wo er seine Methoden vorstellte. Kritiker aus der Pädagogik wie der Sprachlehrer Carl Nauck (1813–1890) und der Schweizer Eduard Pick (1862–1926) sahen in Otto zunächst einen Epigonen des französischen Juristen und Miterfinders der Stenografie Aimé Paris (1798–1866). Zeitgenössische Fachkollegen wie Hermann Kothe und Ignatz Bernhard Montag bewunderten sein System leicht erlernbarer Gedächtnisstützen. Auch der damals sehr populäre Zeitkritiker Eduard Maria Oettinger schätzte Otto. Seine Technik der „nicht zerlegbaren Grundbilder“ gilt heute als maßgeblich für die Entwicklung der Mnemotechnik.
Otto beteiligte sich an der Deutschen Revolution von 1848/49 und geriet unter polizeiliche Beobachtung. Er hielt sich bis 1850 in Schweden und Norwegen auf. 1853 nach Cincinnati emigriert, wurde er Redakteur und Herausgeber verschiedener Emigrantenblätter, zunächst in Syracuse, dann in Albany. Die Deutschen freien Blätter übernahm er von religiösen Auswanderern in Cincinnati, ab 1857 den Hochwächter. Das Journal stand eigentlich in Tradition des deutschen Hochwächters, der 1832 in Pforzheim erschien, wurde aber unter Otto zu einem kommunistischen Periodikum für die deutschen Exilanten der ausgewanderten `48er´. Karl Marx nutzte den Kontakt zu ihm, um mit Conrad Schramm einen wichtigen Funktionär des Bund der Kommunisten als Mitarbeiter zu empfehlen. Im Streit des auseinanderfallenden Bundes äußerte sich Marx dann geringschätzig über den „liberal“ gewordenen Otto.
In seinen späten Jahren lebte Otto in Kempten.

Carl Christian Otto (also: Carl Otto Reventlow; born December 10, 1817, in Store Heddinge (Seeland); died April 19, 1873, in Kempten (Allgäu)) was a mnemonist and journalist.
Life
The son of a painter, he studied philology in 1838/39 at the Christian-Albrechts University in Kiel. Otto was involved with other activists pursuing Schleswig-Holstein independence, such as Rudolf Schleiden, Friedrich Unzer, Andreas Springborn, and Traugott Count Reventlow, and was a member of the Corps Saxonia Kiel. Relegated in Kiel due to a duel, he traveled as a publicist to England and Switzerland. Through the intervention of his fellow students, he returned to Denmark to continue his studies at the University of Copenhagen in 1844.
As early as 1843, he published his first book on mnemonics. The visual memory techniques he developed were especially used in schools to help memorize mathematical and historical knowledge. His textbooks achieved high circulation and were repeatedly expanded and republished over three decades. During many travels through Germany and Western Europe, he visited cities such as Berlin, Leipzig, Danzig, and Prague, where he presented his methods. Critics from education, such as language teacher Carl Nauck (1813–1890) and Swiss Eduard Pick (1862–1926), initially regarded Otto as an epigone of the French jurist and co-inventor of stenography, Aimé Paris (1798–1866). Contemporary colleagues like Hermann Kothe and Ignatz Bernhard Montag admired his system of easily learnable memory aids. Also, the then very popular social critic Eduard Maria Oettinger appreciated Otto. His technique of “indivisible basic images” is considered today to be influential in the development of mnemonics.
Otto participated in the German Revolution of 1848/49 and came under police surveillance. He remained in Sweden and Norway until 1850. In 1853, he emigrated to Cincinnati, where he became editor and publisher of various emigrant papers, initially in Syracuse, then in Albany. He took over the German Free Papers from religious emigrants in Cincinnati, and from 1857, the Hochwächter. The journal was essentially in the tradition of the German Hochwächter, which appeared in Pforzheim in 1832, but under Otto, it became a communist periodical for the German exiles of the 1848 emigrants. Karl Marx used his contact with Otto to recommend Conrad Schramm, an important official of the Communist League, as a collaborator. In the disputes within the disintegrating League, Marx expressed disdain for the “liberalized” Otto.
In his later years, Otto lived in Kempten.

Philippe Basiron

Philippe Basiron (Philippon de Bourges) (c. 1449just before 31 May 1491) was a French composer, singer, and organist of the Renaissance. He was an innovative and prominent composer of the late 15th century, and was praised by many of his contemporaries.
Life
He was probably born in Bourges, and received his early training there, becoming a choirboy at the attached to the royal palace (now the ) in October 1458, along with his brother Pierron. Between October 1458 and 31 March 1459 the brothers were assigned to the care of Jehan Gaudier, and in 1462 the composer Guillaume Faugues became briefly magister puerorum (master of the choirboys); he may have been a formative influence on the young Philippe. The boy's musical gifts were sufficiently distinguished that he had a clavichord purchased for him in 1462, an extremely rare occurrence for a choirboy of 12 or 13 years old. Ockeghem also visited Bourges that year, but if the boy made his acquaintance then is not known; however the influence, and possibly friendship, of the older composer was to become clear later.
In 1464 he already had a position of authority, being given the responsibility for the musical instruction of the other boys. In 1466 he became vicar-choral, and on 5 February 1469 he became magister puerorum himself.
His tenure as master of the choirboys was not without difficulty; several times he was reprimanded by the chapel authorities for failing to keep his charges out of trouble. However, he was the first person to hold the position for five years; in the preceding three years, no less than five separate people had tried and failed to maintain the unruly choir. In 1474 he left Ste Chapelle, but the circumstances are not known. His successor there was François Maugis.
Sometime before 1490 he returned to Ste Chapelle, but since all records from the chapel between 1476 and 1486 are lost, the exact date cannot be determined. Basiron was vicar of a nearby church in 1490, and had to have died shortly before 31 May 1491, since a benefice of his passed to a brother on that date.
Music and influence
Basiron's music was widely distributed in Europe, and was highly praised by his contemporaries. In addition he was precocious: many of his chansons were written in his teens, and probably much more of his early music has been lost. A total of four masses, three motets and six chansons have survived, and also one mass which has an uncertain attribution to him.
Stylistically Basiron's music resembles that of Ockeghem, and is innovative in several ways. He used sequential repetition, and was perhaps the first composer to write a piece in which imitation was the main structural device from beginning to end (the Regina celi). He also was capable of creating long movements by juxtaposing sections of varying texture, but without disunity; his Messa de Franza is the most famous example. Ercole I d'Este, duke of Ferrara, heard of Basiron's fame, and asked that his Missa l'homme armé be sent to him.
Eloy d'Amerval mentioned Basiron in 1508 as among the "20 great composers of the 15th century"; both Pierre Moulu and theorist Gaffurius praised him highly; and most famously, poet Guillaume Crétin, in his Déploration sur le trépas de Jean Ockeghem, listed Basiron among the sweetly singing angels in heaven welcoming Ockeghem to join them.

Philippe Basiron

Philippe Basiron (* um 1450 in Bourges; † kurz vor dem 31. Mai 1491 ebenda; auch Baziron, Barizon, Philippon, Philippon de Bourges) war ein franko-flämischer Komponist, Organist, Sänger und Kleriker der frühen Renaissance.
Leben und Wirken
Die Identität des Komponisten, der in den Handschriften mit verschiedenen Namen erscheint, wurde unter Musikforschern viele Jahre lang diskutiert; dass sie ein und dieselbe Person darstellen, wurde erst durch Paula Higgins 1990 bewiesen, die anhand der Dokumente der Sainte-Chapelle in Bourges den größeren Teil von Basirons Leben rekonstruieren konnte. Dabei wurde noch festgestellt, dass außer Philippe auch Pierre und Johannes Basiron in dieser Zeit dort gewirkt haben, vermutlich Brüder des Komponisten.
Philippe Basiron und sein Bruder Pierre gehörten seit Oktober 1458 zu den sechs Chorknaben der Sainte-Chapelle in Bourges, die ein Teil des Herzogspalastes war. Bis 31. März 1459 war Messire Jehan Gaudier alias Doucet für den Lebensunterhalt und die Unterrichtung der Brüder verantwortlich. Zwischen Juli 1458 und Juni 1459 gab es eine verbreitete Krankheit in Bourges; der Chorknabe Philippe wurde in dieser Zeit von einer ernsten Infektion kuriert. Der Komponist Guillaume Faugues war ab 24. Juni 1462 für drei Monate der magister puerorum in Bourges und hat vermutlich einen großen Einfluss auf die musikalische Entwicklung von Philippe Basiron gehabt; zu dieser Zeit wurde ausdrücklich für Basiron ein Manicordium beschafft, eine Art Clavichord, mit dem man das Orgelspiel erlernte. Dies spricht für die besondere Begabung Philippes, die offenbar erkannt und gefördert wurde. Auch wurde die Arbeit an der Orgel der Kirche fortgeführt, die wegen des Todes des letzten Orgelbauers geruht hatte.
Ein besonderes Ereignis des Jahres 1462 war wohl der Besuch von Johannes Ockeghem im November. Dessen Dienstherr, der französische König Karl VII. (Regierungszeit 1422–1461) residierte zwischen 1451 und 1461 öfters in Bourges oder im zehn Meilen entfernten Schloss Méhun-sur-Yévre. Ockeghems Einfluss auf Basiron zeigen dessen Sätze auf Ockeghems Chanson D'ung aultre amer. Im Mai 1464 wurde die Leitung und Unterrichtung der Chorknaben an Basiron übertragen, zunächst nur inoffiziell, ab 1. April 1466 gegen Bezahlung. Etwa 1467 verließ er für kurze Zeit die Maîtrise, um sich Unterstützer zu suchen, und fand sie in den Erzbischöfen von Bourges und Angers. Spätestens ab 1467 ist Basiron Vikar an der Kathedrale gewesen und bekam vom Kapitel regelmäßig Naturalien und finanzielle Mittel, auch für Kleidung.
Am 4. Februar 1469 wurde er durch die Unterstützung der genannten Erzbischöfe und des Schatzmeisters des französischen Königs zum Vorsteher (Magister) der Chorknaben gewählt, wobei der bisherige Inhaber dieses Amts, Johannes Laloyer, eine andere Position bekam. Basiron verblieb in diesem Amt bis 1474; hier war es seine Aufgabe, die Knaben zu erziehen und die Tugenden zu lehren, für ihren Lebensunterhalt zu sorgen sowie ihnen musikalischen Unterricht, auch im Instrumentalspiel, zu geben. Nicht immer hielten sich die Jugendlichen an die Statuten und es kam öfters zu Ermahnungen seitens des Kapitels. In einem Streit um eine Präbende im Jahr 1471 hat sich Basiron gegenüber dem Kapitel mit Hilfe des französischen Königs durchgesetzt. Er war inzwischen auch Student der Rechtswissenschaften, konnte aber dennoch seine Pflichten an der Saint-Chapelle erfüllen.
Am 11. Februar 1474 übernahm François Maugis das Amt des Singmeisters der Chorknaben. Wohin Basiron sich ab dieser Zeit wandte, ist nicht bekannt, weil die Akten der Sainte-Chapelle ab 1474 nicht überliefert sind. Möglicherweise ging er nach Orléans, wo bis 1481 ein Organist mit Namen Philippe Bourges tätig war. In den späten 1480er Jahren war er zurückgekehrt und übernahm ein Vikariat mit Benefizium an der Kirche Saint-Pierre-le-Guillard in Bourges, einer Filialkirche der Sainte-Chapelle, wo ein Haus mit Garten dazugehörte. Am 31. Mai 1491 empfahl König Karl VIII., das frei gewordene Vikariat an Johannes Basiron, Kaplan der Sainte-Chapelle und Bruder Philippes, zu vergeben; dies deutet darauf hin, dass Philippe Basiron kurz zuvor verstorben war.
Pierre Basiron, etwa gleichaltrig mit Philippe und zusammen mit ihm Chorknabe, wurde 1469 Prior des Klosters Notre-Dame-de-la-Comtale in Bourges. Er übernahm 1517 ein Kanonikat und starb 1529. Johannes Basiron, geboren etwa 1460, wurde 1475 erstmals erwähnt und 1491 für das Vikariat seines verstorbenen Bruders vorgeschlagen. Im ersten Halbjahr 1495 verlor er durch eine Exkommunikation vorübergehend seine Einkünfte und bekam sie wieder unter der Bedingung, seine Mutter finanziell zu unterstützen. Er starb Anfang September 1495.
Bedeutung
Schon zu Lebzeiten besaß Philippe Basiron einen herausragenden Ruf als Komponist. Herzog Ercole I. d’Este von Ferrara bat in einem Brief vom 24. März 1484 um die Zusendung einer Kopie der neuen Missa L'homme armé von ihm. Der Musiktheoretiker Franchinus Gaffurius (1451–1522) äußerte sich in seiner Pratica musicae (Mailand 1496) bewundernd über Basirons Musik; der Dichter Guillaume Crétin nennt ihn in seiner Déploration sur le trépas de Jean Ockeghem (1497) einen verstorbenen Mitstreiter von Johannes Ockeghem, und der Musiker und Dichter Eloy d’Amerval rühmt ihn in seinem epischen Gedicht Livre de la deablerie (1508) als einen der großen französischen Komponisten des vergangenen Jahrhunderts.
Die Messen und Motetten von Philippe Basiron stehen beispielhaft für die geistliche Mehrstimmigkeit Frankreichs im letzten Viertel des 15. Jahrhunderts. Sein Beitrag zur Tradition der L'homme-armé-Messen stehen den entsprechenden Messen von Guillaume Dufay und Guillaume Faugues hinsichtlich Stil und Verfahren besonders nahe. Seine drei Motetten mit marianischem Inhalt sind einfallsreiche und geschickte Werke und nutzen viele kompositorische Gestaltungsmöglichkeiten seiner Epoche. Schließlich sind die überlieferten Lieder von Philippe Basiron charakteristische Beispiele für den „burgundischen“ Chanson-Stil.

Philippe Basiron (* around 1450 in Bourges; died shortly before May 31, 1491, in the same place; also Baziron, Barizon, Philippon, Philippon de Bourges) was a Franco-Flemish composer, organist, singer, and cleric of the early Renaissance.
Life and Work
The identity of the composer, who appears under various names in manuscripts, was debated among music scholars for many years; it was only proven in 1990 by Paula Higgins that they refer to the same person, based on documents from the Sainte-Chapelle in Bourges, which allowed her to reconstruct most of Basiron’s life. It was also established that, besides Philippe, Pierre and Johannes Basiron were active there at the same time, probably brothers of the composer.
Philippe Basiron and his brother Pierre belonged to the six choirboys of the Sainte-Chapelle in Bourges since October 1458, which was part of the ducal palace. Until March 31, 1459, Messire Jehan Gaudier alias Doucet was responsible for their maintenance and education. Between July 1458 and June 1459, a widespread illness occurred in Bourges; during this time, choirboy Philippe recovered from a serious infection. The composer Guillaume Faugues was master of the choristers in Bourges from June 24, 1462, for three months and likely had a significant influence on Philippe Basiron’s musical development; at that time, a Manicordium was explicitly acquired for Basiron, a type of clavichord used for learning organ playing. This indicates a special talent in Philippe, which was apparently recognized and nurtured. Work on the church’s organ, which had been halted due to the death of the last organ builder, was also continued.
A notable event in 1462 was probably the visit of Johannes Ockeghem in November. His patron, the French King Charles VII (reigned 1422–1461), resided several times in Bourges or at the Château de Méhun-sur-Yévre, ten miles away, between 1451 and 1461. Ockeghem’s influence on Basiron is reflected in his phrases on Ockeghem’s chanson *D'ung aultre amer*. In May 1464, Basiron was entrusted with the leadership and education of the choirboys, initially unofficially, and from April 1, 1466, officially for payment. Around 1467, he briefly left the mastership to seek supporters and found them among the archbishops of Bourges and Angers. By 1467 at the latest, Basiron was a vicar at the cathedral, receiving regular provisions and financial support from the chapter, including for clothing.
On February 4, 1469, with the support of the aforementioned archbishops and the treasurer of the French king, he was elected supervisor (Magister) of the choirboys, replacing Johannes Laloyer, who received a different position. Basiron remained in this role until 1474; his duties included educating the boys, teaching virtues, providing for their livelihood, and giving musical instruction, including instrumental playing. The youths did not always adhere to the statutes, and warnings from the chapter occurred frequently. In a dispute over a benefice in 1471, Basiron prevailed over the chapter with the help of the French king. By then, he was also a law student but was still able to fulfill his duties at the Sainte-Chapelle.
On February 11, 1474, François Maugis took over as choirmaster of the choirboys. It is unknown where Basiron turned after this date, as the records of Sainte-Chapelle are lost from 1474 onward. Possibly he went to Orléans, where a organist named Philippe Bourges was active until 1481. In the late 1480s, he had returned and took a vicarage with benefice at the church of Saint-Pierre-le-Guillard in Bourges, a branch church of Sainte-Chapelle, with a house and garden. On May 31, 1491, King Charles VIII recommended that the vacant vicarage be given to Johannes Basiron, chaplain of Sainte-Chapelle and brother of Philippe, indicating that Philippe Basiron had probably died shortly before.
Pierre Basiron, roughly the same age as Philippe and also a choirboy with him, became prior of the monastery Notre-Dame-de-la-Comtale in Bourges in 1469. He took a canonry in 1517 and died in 1529. Johannes Basiron, born around 1460, was first mentioned in 1475 and was proposed in 1491 for the vicarage of his deceased brother. In the first half of 1495, he temporarily lost his income due to excommunication but regained it on the condition that he supported his mother. He died in early September 1495.
Significance
Even during his lifetime, Philippe Basiron had an outstanding reputation as a composer. Duke Ercole I d’Este of Ferrara requested a copy of his new *Missa L'homme armé* in a letter dated March 24, 1484. Music theorist Franchinus Gaffurius (1451–1522) expressed admiration for Basiron’s music in his *Pratica musicae* (Milan, 1496); poet Guillaume Crétin called him in his *Déploration sur le trépas de Jean Ockeghem* (1497) a fallen comrade of Johannes Ockeghem, and musician and poet Eloy d’Amerval praised him in his epic poem *Livre de la deablerie* (1508) as one of the great French composers of the past century.
Basiron’s masses and motets exemplify the sacred polyphony of France in the last quarter of the 15th century. His contribution to the tradition of *L'homme armé* masses is particularly close in style and technique to those of Guillaume Dufay and Guillaume Faugues. His three Marian motets are inventive and skillfully crafted works that utilize many compositional possibilities of his era. Finally, the surviving songs by Philippe Basiron are characteristic examples of the Burgundian chanson style.

Geoff Thompson (snooker player)
|
Geoff Thompson (born 1929) is an English former professional snooker player.
Career
Thompson was born in 1929. He started playing cue sports on a scaled-down table aged eight or nine, and on a full-sized billiard table from the age of 13. After serving in the armed forces, Thompson won a local English billiards competition in his home town of Leicester, and was runner-up in the 1952 CIU snooker championship to L.F. Taylor.
Having been runner-up CIU final again in 1953, and working as a telephone engineer, Thompson was competing for the first time in the English Amateur Championship when he eliminated the defending champion Tommy Gordon 3–2 and went on to win the title with an 11–9 victory over Cliff Wilson in the final. Due to ill health he withdrew from the 1955 tournament and so was unable to defend the title. In the 1962 championship he compiled a break of 115, a new world record for an officially-recognised amateur break. He was invited to participate in the 1962–63 Television Tournament and, receiving 11 points start in each frame under the handicapping system used, defeated professional Rex Williams 3–0, before losing 2–3 to Ron Gross. In 1966 and 1969 he won the CIU championship.
He turned professional in 1970. He played Maurice Parkin in the first qualifying round for the 1972 World Snooker Championship and lost 10–11, and was defeated 5–9 by Graham Miles in the first round of the 1972 World Snooker Championship. His last World Snooker Championship appearance was in 1974, where he was eliminated 3–8 by Bill Werbeniuk.
In 1953 he compiled a break of 141, but it was not recognised as a record as the billiard table did not meet the standards required by the Billiards Association and Control Council. At the time, the highest officially recognised break by an amateur was 104.

Ernest Geoffrey „Geoff“ Thompson (* im 20. Jahrhundert; † unbekannt [nach 1987]) war ein ehemaliger englischer Snookerspieler, der 1954 die English Amateur Championship gewann und in den 1970ern für einige Saisons Profispieler war. Zudem spielte er nebenher auch English Billiards.
Karriere
Seit 1952 nahm Thompson an der English Amateur Championship teil, zunächst nur mit beschränktem Erfolg. 1954 erreichte er aber überraschend das Finale und wurde dort mit einem Sieg über den Waliser Cliff Wilson britischer Meister. Im folgenden Jahrzehnt blieb Thompson dem Wettbewerb als regelmäßiger Teilnehmer erhalten, konnte aber nur noch selten nennenswerte Erfolge erzielen. Als er 1964 zum letzten Mal am Turnier teilnahm, erreichte er im selben Jahr das Finale der CIU Individual Billiards Championship im English Billiards, verlor aber gegen Norman Dagley. 1969 verpasste er nur knapp den Einzug ins Finale der English Amateur Billiards Championship. Als sich der Snookersport Anfang der 1970er-Jahre langsam von einer langjährigen Flaute erholte, wurde Thompson 1971 Profispieler. Vornehmlich nahm er an der Snookerweltmeisterschaft teil, konnte aber nie ein Spiel gewinnen. Lediglich beim Men of the Midlands 1972 besiegte er überraschend Spitzenspieler Ray Reardon. 1974 verlor er seinen Profistatus wieder, war aber dann in der Saison 1976/77 für eine Spielzeit erneut Profi, bestritt in jener Saison aber kein einziges Spiel. So kam es, dass sich Thompson auch nicht auf der erst Mitte der 1970er eingeführten Snookerweltrangliste platzierte.
In den 1980ern versuchte Thompson, nochmal auf die große Bühne zurückzukehren. So nahm er an den Pontins Spring Open 1983 teil, war aber auch einige Male an Events der WPBSA Pro Ticket Series beteiligt. Beim allerersten Event erreichte er sogar das Halbfinale, doch im Endeffekt schaffte er es weder zu diesem Zeitpunkt noch später, sich erneut für die Profitour zu qualifizieren.

Ernest Geoffrey "Geoff" Thompson (* in the 20th century; † unknown [after 1987]) was a former English snooker player who won the English Amateur Championship in 1954 and was a professional player for a few seasons in the 1970s. In addition, he also played English billiards on the side.
Career
Since 1952, Thompson participated in the English Amateur Championship, initially with limited success. However, in 1954, he unexpectedly reached the final and became British champion with a victory over Welshman Cliff Wilson. Over the following decade, Thompson remained a regular participant in the competition but was only able to achieve notable success rarely. When he last participated in the tournament in 1964, he reached the final of the CIU Individual Billiards Championship in English billiards that same year but lost to Norman Dagley. In 1969, he narrowly missed qualifying for the final of the English Amateur Billiards Championship. As snooker began to recover slowly from a long period of decline in the early 1970s, Thompson turned professional in 1971. He mainly competed in the World Snooker Championship but was never able to win a match. He only notably defeated top player Ray Reardon at the Men of the Midlands in 1972. In 1974, he lost his professional status again but was a professional for one more season in 1976/77, although he did not play a single match that season. As a result, Thompson did not appear on the snooker world rankings, which were only introduced in the mid-1970s.
In the 1980s, Thompson tried to make a comeback to the big stage. He participated in the Pontins Spring Open in 1983 and was also involved in several events of the WPBSA Pro Ticket Series. In the very first event, he even reached the semi-finals, but ultimately, he was never able to qualify again for the professional tour, neither at that time nor later.

John I of Isenburg-Limburg
|
John I of Isenburg-Limburg, "The blind Lord" (died September 29, 1312) was from 1289 Count of (Isenburg-) Limburg and the head of the House of Limburg. The core territory of the Lordship of Limburg consisted of the city of Limburg an der Lahn and several surrounding villages.
In the City Chronicle of Limburg by Tilemann Elhen von Wolfhagen, written before 1402, John was referred to as the "Blind Lord." What is this name means, however, is unclear, because no sources refer to John being physically blind. Probably John had an eye disease in his old age and was thereby visually impaired.
Life
John’s father, Gerlach I of Limburg, had founded the House of Limburg and sought to secure dynastic connections with neighboring noble families. John’s sister Imagina was married with the Count, later King of Germany, Adolf of Nassau. His second sister Agnes was married to Henry of Westerburg, the brother of the Siegfried II of Westerburg, the Archbishop of Cologne.
In 1288 John participated in the Battle of Worringen on the side of Siegfried of Westerburg. After the death of his father in the Black Forest on a military campaign of King Rudolph I of Habsburg, John inherited Lordship of Limburg.
John maintained a particularly close relationship to his brother-in-law, Adolf of Nassau. He served as godparent for Adolf's children. After Adolf’s election as king, John was a regular and active supporter and rose to become one of his advisors. He sealed the 1292 pledge of the imperial portion of the city of Limburg to the Archbishopric of Cologne. In the following years, he repeatedly sealed deeds of the king, and sealed the document as a witness for King Edward I of England in his agreement with Adolf. John was delegated to arrange the marriage between Adolf’s son Robert of Nassau and Agnes, the daughter of the King Wenceslaus II of Bohemia. He was also involved in concluding of the marriage contract between Duke Rudolph I of Upper Bavaria and Matilda (Mechtilde) of Nassau (King Adolf's daughter).
On July 2, 1298 John participated in the Battle of Göllheim on the side of Adolf of Nassau. Nevertheless, after the battle, he was able to win the favor of Adolf’s opponent, the new King Albert I of Habsburg. In 1303, Albert commissioned him to look for fiefs that had been wrongly taken from the empire and recover them.
The children of Otto I of Nassau designated John to act as arbitrator in the division of Otto’s inheritance in 1308.
John also worked diligently in his town of Limburg. Near the beginning of his reign, after a great fire destroyed the entire city of Limburg on May 14, 1289, John led a successful reconstruction effort. Already by around 1300 the city had outgrown its walls. John was probably responsible for the construction of the bridge over the Lahn at Limburg, the construction of the church of the Franciscan Monastery, and the founding of the Wilhelmiten monastery. Even the construction of St. Peter's Chapel in Limburg Castle goes back to him.
John died on September 29, 1312. He was buried in the Franciscan church of Limburg. His grave stone is still preserved today.
Marriages and Children
John was married twice and it is unclear which children should be assigned to each marriage. His first marriage was to Elizabeth of Geroldseck (near Strasbourg), daughter of Henry of Geroldseck, Count of Veldenz and Elizabeth of Lichtenberg. With her he probably had the following children:
Elizabeth (died after October 27, 1351); married first ca. 1303 to Baron Ulrich I of Bickenbach (now part of Engelskirchen) (died 1339); remarried before June 24, 1340 to Count John II of Katzenelnbogen (died March 2, 1357)
Lisa; married before 1300 to Count Henry III of Solms-Braunfels (died after February 22, 1314)
His second marriage was to Uda of Ravensberg. This marriage probably accounted for the following children:
Gerlach II "The Elder"
John, listed 1373/79
Jutta, listed 1330/35; married Count Friedrich VI of Leiningen-Dagsburg (died 1342)
Maria, abbess of Altenberg Abbey in Wetzlar (1343–1349)
Imagina (died 1337/43); her first marriage was to Count Ulrich of Truhendingen (from present-day Wassertrüdingen) before 1302; her second marriage was to Count Louis VIII of Oettingen before August 14, 1332.

Johann I. (Limburg)
|
Johann I. von Limburg, „Der blinde Herr“ (* unbekannt; † 29. September 1312 in Limburg an der Lahn), war ab 1289 Chef des Hauses Limburg. Kern der Herrschaft Limburg waren die Stadt Limburg und einige umliegende Dörfer.
Johann wurde in der Limburger Stadtchronik des Tilemann Elhen von Wolfhagen, entstanden vor 1402, als „Blinder Herr“ bezeichnet. Worauf sich diese Bezeichnung stützt, ist unklar, denn über eine echte Blindheit von Johann ist nichts bekannt. Wahrscheinlich war Johann im hohen Alter an einem Augenleiden erkrankt und dadurch sehbehindert.
Leben
Johanns Vater Gerlach I. hatte das Haus Limburg begründet und zur Absicherung dynastische Verbindungen mit benachbarten Adelsfamilien gesucht. Johanns Schwester Imagina war mit dem späteren deutschen König Adolf von Nassau verheiratet; seine zweite Schwester Agnes war mit Heinrich von Westerburg, dem Bruder des Kölner Erzbischofs Siegfried von Westerburg, verheiratet.
Johann nahm 1288 auf der Seite von Siegfried von Westerburg an der Schlacht von Worringen teil. Nach dem Tod seines Vaters auf einem Kriegszug König Rudolfs von Habsburg übernahm Johann die Herrschaft Limburg.
Zu seinem Schwager Adolf von Nassau pflegte Johann ein besonders enges Verhältnis. Er übernahm die Patenschaften für dessen Kinder. Nach der Königswahl war Johann regelmäßig für Adolf aktiv und stieg zu einem seiner Ratgeber auf. Er besiegelte 1292 die Verpfändung des Reichsanteils der Stadt Limburg an Kurköln. Auch in den folgenden Jahren siegelte er immer wieder Urkunden des Königs. Dieser beauftragte ihn auch, die Ehe zwischen seinem Sohn Rupert von Nassau und Agnes, der Tochter des böhmischen Königs Wenzel II., zu arrangieren. Auch am Zustandekommen des Ehevertrages zwischen Mechthild von Nassau und Rudolf von der Pfalz war Johann beteiligt. Johann siegelte als Zeuge Urkunden für König Eduard von England.
Am 2. Juli 1298 beteiligte sich Johann an der Seite Adolf von Nassau an der Schlacht bei Göllheim. Dennoch konnte er nach der Schlacht die Gunst des neuen König Albrecht von Habsburg gewinnen. Dieser beauftragte ihn im Jahr 1303, nach Lehen zu suchen, die dem Reich zu Unrecht entwendet worden waren, und diese einzuziehen.
Die Kinder von Otto I. von Nassau beauftragten ihn als Obmann bei der Teilung ihrer Herrschaft zu fungieren.
Auch in Limburg selbst war Johann sehr aktiv. Beim großen Brand zu Beginn seiner Herrschaft am 14. Mai 1289 wurde die gesamte Stadt zerstört. Es setzte ein schwunghafter Wiederaufbau ein. Bereits um 1300 war die Stadt über ihre Stadtmauern hinausgewachsen. Wahrscheinlich veranlasste noch Johann I. den Baubeginn der Lahnbrücke Limburg, den Neubau der Kirche des Franziskanerklosters und die Gründung des Wilhelmiten-Klosters. Auch der Bau der St.-Peter-Kapelle in der Burg Limburg und die Einrichtung des Heilige-Geist-Hospital geht auf ihn zurück.
Johann starb am 29. September 1312. Er wurde in der Limburger Franziskanerkirche bestattet. Seine Grabplatte ist bis heute erhalten.
Familie
Johann heiratete zweimal. Die Zuordnung der Kinder zu den einzelnen Ehen ist unklar.
In erster Ehe war er mit Elisabeth von Geroldseck verheiratet. Mit ihr hatte er wahrscheinlich folgende Kinder:
Elisabeth († vor 1347), ⚭ Ulrich I. von Bickenbach (Adelsgeschlecht)
Lisa, ⚭ Heinrich von Solms
In zweiter Ehe war er mit Uda von Ravensberg verheiratet. Der Ehe entstammen wahrscheinlich folgende Kinder:

Johann was referred to as "The Blind Lord" in the Limburg city chronicle by Tilemann Elhen of Wolfhagen, created before 1402.

The children of Otto I of Nassau appointed him as steward during the division of their inheritance.
Johann was also very active in Limburg itself. During a great fire at the beginning of his rule on May 14, 1289, the entire city was destroyed. A vigorous rebuilding process began. By around 1300, the city had grown beyond its city walls. It is likely that Johann I. initiated the construction of the Limburg Lahn Bridge, the rebuilding of the church of the Franciscan Monastery, and the founding of the Wilhelmiten Monastery. He is also credited with the construction of the St. Peter Chapel in Limburg Castle and the establishment of the Holy Spirit Hospital.
Johann died on September 29, 1312. He was buried in the Franciscan Church of Limburg. His tombstone has survived to this day.
Family
Johann was married twice. The attribution of his children to each marriage is unclear.
In his first marriage, he was married to Elisabeth of Geroldseck. With her, he probably had the following children:
Elisabeth (died before 1347), married to Ulrich I of Bickenbach (noble family)
Lisa, married to Heinrich of Solms
In his second marriage, he was married to Uda of Ravensberg. The following children probably stem from this marriage:

William Odling
|
William Odling, FRS (5 September 1829 in Southwark, London – 17 February 1921 in Oxford) was an English chemist who contributed to the development of the periodic table.
In the 1860s Odling, like many chemists, was working towards classifying the elements, an effort that would eventually lead to the periodic table of elements. He was intrigued by atomic weights and the periodic occurrence of chemical properties. William Odling and Lothar Meyer drew up tables similar, but with improvements on, Dmitri Mendeleev's original table. Odling drew up a table of elements using repeating units of seven elements, which bears a striking resemblance to Mendeleev's first table. The groups are horizontal, the elements are in order of increasing atomic weight and there are vacant slots for undiscovered ones. In addition, Odling overcame the tellurium-iodine problem and he even managed to get thallium, lead, mercury and platinum in the right groups - something that Mendeleev failed to do at his first attempt.
Odling failed to achieve recognition, however, since it is suspected that he, as Secretary of the Chemical Society of London, was instrumental in discrediting John Alexander Reina Newlands' efforts at getting his own periodic table published. One such unrecognised aspect was for the suggestion he, Odling, made in a lecture he gave at the Royal Institution in 1855 entitled The Constitution of Hydrocarbons in which he proposed a methane type for carbon (Proceedings of the Royal Institution, 1855, vol 2, p. 63-66). August Kekulé made a similar suggestion in 1857, then in a subsequent paper later that same year proposed that carbon is a tetravalent element.
Career
Odling became a Chemistry Lecturer at St Bartholomew's Hospital Medical School and a Demonstrator at Guy's Hospital Medical School in 1850. Leaving St Bartholomew's in 1868 he became a Fullerian Professor of Chemistry at the Royal Institution where in 1868 and 1870 he was invited to deliver the Royal Institution Christmas Lecture on The Chemical Changes of Carbon and Burning and Unburning respectively.
In 1872 he left the Royal Institution and became Waynflete Professor of Chemistry and a fellow of Worcester College, Oxford, where he stayed still his retirement in 1912.
Odling also served as a fellow (1848–1856), Honorary Secretary (1856–1869), Vice-President (1869–1872) and President (1873–1875) of the Chemical Society of London as well as a Censor (1878–1880 and 1882–1891), Vice-President (1878–1880 and 1888–1891) and President (1883–1888) of the Institute of Chemistry.
In 1859 he was made a fellow of the Royal Society of London and in 1875 he was granted an honorary PhD by Leiden University, the Netherlands.

William Odling (* 5. September 1829 in Southwark (heute zu London); † 17. Februar 1921 in Oxford) war ein englischer Chemiker.
Leben und Wirken
William Odling wurde 1850 Lecturer in Chemie an der St. Bartholomew Hospital Medical School und Demonstrator an der Guy’s Hospital Medical School in London. 1868 wurde er als Nachfolger von Michael Faraday Fullerian Professor für Chemie an der Royal Institution, an der er 1868 und 1870 die Royal Institution Christmas Lecture hielt (The chemical changes of carbon, Burning and unburning). Von 1872 bis zur Emeritierung 1912 war er Waynflete Professor für Chemie und Fellow des Worcester College an der Oxford University.
Er war um 1855 Mitbegründer des Valenzbegriffs und erweiterte ab 1855 die Typentheorie von Charles Frédéric Gerhardt und Auguste Laurent. Mit seiner Einteilung der Elemente in 13 „natürliche Gruppen“ (1857) und seinen Elementetafeln (1857–65) schuf er Vorläufer des Periodensystems. Der Vorschlag der Anordnung chemischer Elemente in Gruppen geschah gleichzeitig 1864 mit dem von John Alexander Reina Newlands in England. Newland hatte etwas früher mit seinen Versuchen begonnen, Odling hatte aber den Vorteil 1860 den berühmten Kongress in Karlsruhe besucht zu haben, den auch Lothar Meyer und Dmitri Iwanowitsch Mendelejew besuchten, und dort von Stanislao Cannizzaro über dessen Lehre und Bestimmung von Atomgewichten gehört zu haben. Während Newland 1864 nur 24 der damals bekannten 60 Elemente in sein System einordnen konnte nur gelang es Odling 57 Elemente einzuordnen. Seine Ankündigung der Periodizität geschah auch etwas früher bei der London Chemical Society als Newlands von 1865 (obwohl im selben Jahr und wahrscheinlich unabhängig erfolgt). Odling wurde auch in England führend in der Verbreitung der Ideen von Cannizzaro und Avogadro. Die Elemente waren nach steigendem Atomgewicht angeordnet und er machte Vorhersagen über fehlende Elemente. Die Periodizität die er beobachtete lag bei 16.
Unabhängig von August Kekulé schlug er die Vierwertigkeit von Kohlenstoff vor (Proc. Royal Institution 1855).
1859 wurde er Fellow der Royal Society und 1875 Ehrendoktor der Universität Leiden. 1848 wurde er Fellow, 1856 Ehren-Sekretär, 1869 Vizepräsident und 1873 Präsident der Chemical Society of London, was er bis 1875 blieb. 1878 bis 1880 und 1882 bis 1891 war er Censor, 1878 bis 1880 und 1888 bis 1891 Vizepräsident und 1883 bis 1888 Präsident des Institute of Chemistry.

William Odling (* September 5, 1829, in Southwark (today part of London); † February 17, 1921, in Oxford) was an English chemist.
Life and Work
William Odling became a Lecturer in Chemistry at the St. Bartholomew Hospital Medical School and a Demonstrator at the Guy’s Hospital Medical School in London in 1850. In 1868, he succeeded Michael Faraday as Fullerian Professor of Chemistry at the Royal Institution, where he delivered the Royal Institution Christmas Lectures in 1868 and 1870 (The chemical changes of carbon, Burning and unburning). From 1872 until his retirement in 1912, he was Waynflete Professor of Chemistry and a Fellow of Worcester College at Oxford University.
Around 1855, he was a co-founder of the concept of valence and expanded the type theory of Charles Frédéric Gerhardt and Auguste Laurent from 1855. With his classification of elements into 13 “natural groups” (1857) and his element tables (1857–65), he created predecessors of the periodic table. The proposal to arrange chemical elements in groups was made simultaneously in 1864 by John Alexander Reina Newlands in England. Newlands had begun some of his experiments earlier, but Odling had the advantage of having attended the famous congress in Karlsruhe in 1860, which was also attended by Lothar Meyer and Dmitri Ivanovich Mendeleev, and where he heard Stanislao Cannizzaro speak about his teachings and the determination of atomic weights. While Newlands could only classify 24 of the 60 elements known at the time in his system in 1864, Odling was able to classify 57 elements. His announcement of periodicity also occurred somewhat earlier at the London Chemical Society than Newlands’ in 1865 (although it happened in the same year and probably independently). Odling also became a leading figure in England in spreading the ideas of Cannizzaro and Avogadro. The elements were arranged according to increasing atomic weight, and he made predictions about missing elements. The periodicity he observed was around 16.
Independent of August Kekulé, he proposed the tetravalency of carbon (Proc. Royal Institution 1855).
In 1859, he became a Fellow of the Royal Society, and in 1875, an honorary doctorate from the University of Leiden. He became a Fellow in 1848, Honorary Secretary in 1856, Vice President in 1869, and President of the Chemical Society of London in 1873, a position he held until 1875. From 1878 to 1880 and from 1882 to 1891, he served as Censor; from 1878 to 1880 and from 1888 to 1891, as Vice President; and from 1883 to 1888, as President of the Institute of Chemistry.

José Manso de Velasco, 1st Count of Superunda
|
José Antonio Manso de Velasco y Sánchez de Samaniego, KOS () (May 10, 1689 – Jan 5, 1767) was a Spanish soldier and politician who served as governor of Chile and viceroy of Peru.
As Governor of Chile
Manso de Velasco served as governor of Chile from November 1737 to June 1744, during which time he stood out for his numerous projects. His tenure saw the construction of the first public food market in Santiago, irrigation canals on the Maipo River as well as breakwaters on the Mapocho River, the rebuilding of Valdivia (destroyed by an earthquake), and the celebration of an armistice with the indigenous Mapuche people, signed in the "Parlement of Tapihue".
In addition, he founded a large number of Chilean cities listed here with their current names, their given names, and their date of founding:
Cauquenes (Nuestra Señora de las Mercedes), 1742
Copiapó (San Francisco de la Selva), 1744
Curicó (San José de Buena Vista), 1743
Melipilla (San José de Logroño), 1742
Rancagua (Santa Cruz de Triana), 1743
San Felipe, 1740
San Fernando (San Fernando de Tinguiririca), 1742
Talca (San Agustín de Talca), 1742
His efficiency and diligence recommended him to a higher post, and Ferdinand VI named him viceroy of Peru in 1745, making him the first governor of Chile to be elevated in such a manner.
As Viceroy of Peru
Manso de Velasco was the viceroy of Peru during the reign of Ferdinand VI of the House of Bourbon, holding the office from 1745 to October 12, 1761. He succeeded José Antonio de Mendoza, 3rd Marquis of Villagarcía and was replaced by Manuel de Amat y Juniet. The most important event of his tenure was the great earthquake of 1746.
Lima earthquake
On October 28, 1746 at around 10:30 at night, a major earthquake struck Lima and vicinity, resulting in one of the highest number of deaths for such an event in the area. Witnesses differ on the duration of the event, with reports ranging from 3 to 6 minutes. The intensity of the quake is today estimated at X or XI on the Mercalli intensity scale. The aftershocks, by the hundreds, continued for the following two months.
In Lima, the destruction was severe. Of 60,000 inhabitants, 1,141 were reported to have died. Only 25 houses remained standing. In Callao, a tsunami of nearly 17 meters in height penetrated up to 5 kilometers inland leaving only 200 survivors out of a population of 5,000. The fact that the earthquake struck at night probably contributed to the casualties, as many people were caught asleep in their homes. In the wake of the disaster, the population was gripped by hunger and fear.
As a result of this earthquake, building practices were modified, with the adobe style abandoned for quincha (wattle and daub) construction techniques, which resulted in more flexible structures that were more resistant to disruptive seismic activity.
On February 10, 1747 he founded the city of Bellavista. On May 30, 1755 the cathedral of Lima was begun.
Last days
The aged and tired Manso de Velasco asked for permission to return to Spain for his retirement, and received a positive answer from the crown in 1761. However, his trip home took him through the port of Havana in the then-Captaincy General of Cuba, just at a time when the colony was under siege. The British laid siege to the port, and Manso de Velasco, nominally the highest-ranking military officer in the area, found himself named the "Chief of the War Council" by the Governor of Cuba. Thus, at age 74, he led the defense of the fortified city. Unfortunately, the troops under his command were poorly trained and their equipment was inferior, leading to a Spanish surrender after only 67 days.
Captured by the British, he was eventually brought to Cadiz in Spain. Due to his position as "Chief of the War Council", he was imprisoned in Madrid and tried by a court-martial presided over by the Count of Aranda. He and other accused chiefs were held responsible for the inglorious defeat in Cuba by this court-martial. Charles III, King of Spain, ratified the sentences on March 4, 1765 ending the process. The sentences were not lenient, Manso de Velasco was condemned to 10 years of exile to 40 leagues from the Court, seizure of goods and he was made jointly responsible for compensating harmed Habaneros.
Shortly after being notified of the sentence Manso de Velasco left for his exile in Priego de Córdoba, where he arrived the same year. Less than two years later, on January 5, 1767, he died in the same city, where his remains still lay in the Church of San Pedro.

José Antonio Manso de Velasco
|
José Antonio Manso de Velasco y Sánchez de Samaniego (getauft 16. Mai 1689 in Torrecilla de Cameros, La Rioja, Spanien; † 6. Mai 1767 in Granada, Spanien) war Gouverneur von Chile und 30. Vizekönig von Peru.
Leben
Herkunft und Militärkarriere in Europa
Er wurde als Sohn von Diego Sáenz Manso und seiner Ehefrau Ambrosia Sánchez Samaniego geboren. Mit 16 Jahren trat er 1705 in den Dienst der spanischen Krone.
Im Spanischen Erbfolgekrieg nahm er 1706 an der Belagerung von Alcántara teil und wurde verwundet. 1708 belagerte er Tortosa, focht 1709 in der Schlacht von Gudina und 1710 bei der Belagerung von Estadilla. Auch von 1711 bis 1713 nahm er aktiv am Kriegsgeschehen teil, so bei Schlachten von Saragossa und Villaviciosa.
Anschließend nahm er an den Expeditionen nach Cerdeña (1717) und Ceuta (1720) teil und kämpfte bei der Belagerung von Gibraltar (1727) gegen die Briten. Auch bei der Wiedereroberung von Oran (1732) und den Kriegen gegen die Habsburger in Italien von 1733 bis 1736 zeichnete er sich aus. Zum Ende seiner Militärkarriere hatte er den Rang eines Brigadiers und wurde in den Orden von Santiago als Ritter aufgenommen.
Gouverneur von Chile
Im Jahr 1735 hatte ihn König Philipp V. zum Gouverneur der Philippinen ernannt; seine Entscheidung jedoch widerrufen und ihm stattdessen das Amt des Gouverneurs in Chile übertragen. Am 1. Februar 1737 schiffte sich Manso an Bord der Conquistador in Cádiz ein und erreichte Santiago am 11. November 1737. Am 15. November 1737 trat er sein Amt an.
Zu seinen ersten Amtshandlungen als Gouverneur von Chile zählte die Einberufung einer Versammlung (spanisch: parlamento) mit den Mapuche am 5. Dezember in der Umgebung von Tapihue, mit der die Friedensvereinbarungen seines Vorgängers Manuel Silvestre de Salamanca Cano bestätigt wurden. Dennoch bereitete er zur gleichen Zeit einen Plan zur militärischen Eroberung des chilenischen Südens (Araukanien) vor.
Manso hatte den Auftrag, die bourbonische Politik des starken Zentralstaats auch in den Kolonien durchzusetzen. Auch zu diesem Zweck unternahm er zahlreiche Stadtgründungen. Folgende Städte wurden von José Antonio Manso de Velasco gegründet, damals teilweise noch mit anderen Namen:
Cauquenes (Nuestra Señora de las Mercedes), 1742
Copiapó (San Francisco de la Selva), 1744
Curicó (San José de Buena Vista), 1743
Melipilla (San José de Logroño), 1742
Rancagua (Santa Cruz de Triana), 1743
San Felipe, 1740
San Fernando, 1742
Talca (San Agustín de Talca), 1742
Unter seiner Regie wurde in Santiago die erste öffentliche Markthalle errichtet, zudem befahl er, am Río Mapocho Dämme für den Hochwasserschutz zu bauen.
Vizekönig von Peru
Am 24. Dezember 1744 wurde er zum Vizekönig von Peru befördert. Am 4. Juni 1745 trat er das Amt in Lima an. Als interimistischen Nachfolger im Amt des Gouverneurs bestimmte er Francisco José de Ovando. 1746 wurden die peruanischen Städte Lima und Callao durch ein schweres Erdbeben zerstört, dabei starben mehr als 10.000 Einwohner. Er ließ die Städte neu aufbauen. 1747 gründete er Bellavista zwischen Lima und Callao.
1748 beförderte ihn König Ferdinand VI. zum Conde de Superunda.
1750 konnte er einen geplanten Indianeraufstand aufdecken und verhindern. 1755 beendete er den ersten Abschnitt des Wiederaufbaus der Kathedrale von Lima.
1758, im Alter von 69 Jahren, bat Manso den König um seine Entlassung in den Ruhestand. Diese Bitte wurde ihm 1760 gewährt. Am 12. Oktober 1761 übergab er das Amt des Vizekönigs von Peru an Manuel d’Amat i de Junyent.
Belagerung von Havanna, Ungnade und Tod
Er wollte nach Europa zurückkehren und wählte die nördliche Route über Panama und Kuba. Im Oktober 1761 traf er in Havanna auf Kuba ein. Die britische Flotte griff im Zuge des Siebenjährigen Krieges die Stadt an. Manso als erfahrener Offizier wurde zum Befehlshaber der Junta de Guerra ausgerufen und leitete die Verteidigung. Nach 67 Tagen der Belagerung musste er 1762 kapitulieren und die Stadt den Engländern übergeben (die sie später im Pariser Frieden 1763 gegen Florida eintauschten).
José Antonio Manso de Velasco wurde dafür in Spanien vor ein Kriegsgericht gestellt und in Granada ins Gefängnis gebracht. Sein Eigentum wurde beschlagnahmt. Er starb 1767 im Alter von 78 Jahren verarmt und in Ungnade.

Life
Origin and Military Career in Europe
He was born as the son of Diego Sáenz Manso and his wife Ambrosia Sánchez Samaniego. At the age of 16, in 1705, he entered the service of the Spanish crown.
During the War of the Spanish Succession, he participated in the siege of Alcántara in 1706 and was wounded. In 1708, he besieged Tortosa, fought in the Battle of Gudina in 1709, and in 1710 at the siege of Estadilla. From 1711 to 1713, he actively participated in military actions, including battles of Saragossa and Villaviciosa.
Subsequently, he took part in expeditions to Sardinia (1717) and Ceuta (1720), and fought at the siege of Gibraltar (1727) against the British. He also distinguished himself in the recapture of Oran (1732) and in the wars against the Habsburgs in Italy from 1733 to 1736. By the end of his military career, he held the rank of brigadier and was inducted as a knight into the Order of Santiago.
Governor of Chile
In 1735, King Philip V appointed him governor of the Philippines; however, this decision was revoked, and instead he was assigned the position of governor in Chile. On February 1, 1737, Manso boarded the Conquistador in Cádiz and reached Santiago on November 11, 1737. He assumed his office on November 15, 1737.
Among his first acts as governor of Chile was convening a parliament with the Mapuche on December 5 in the vicinity of Tapihue, which confirmed the peace agreements of his predecessor Manuel Silvestre de Salamanca Cano. At the same time, he was preparing a plan for the military conquest of southern Chile (Araucanía).
Manso was tasked with enforcing Bourbon policies of a strong central state even in the colonies. For this purpose, he undertook numerous city founding projects. The following cities were founded by José Antonio Manso de Velasco, some of which had different names at the time:
- Cauquenes (Nuestra Señora de las Mercedes), 1742

Under his leadership, the first public marketplace was built in Santiago, and he also ordered the construction of dams on the Mapocho River for flood protection.
Viceroy of Peru
On December 24, 1744, he was promoted to Viceroy of Peru. He took office in Lima on June 4, 1745. He appointed Francisco José de Ovando as interim governor. In 1746, the Peruvian cities of Lima and Callao were destroyed by a severe earthquake, killing more than 10,000 residents. He oversaw the reconstruction of the cities. In 1747, he founded Bellavista between Lima and Callao.
In 1748, King Ferdinand VI elevated him to the rank of Count of Superunda.
In 1750, he uncovered and prevented a planned indigenous uprising. In 1755, he completed the first phase of rebuilding the Cathedral of Lima.
In 1758, at the age of 69, Manso requested the king's retirement. This request was granted in 1760. On October 12, 1761, he handed over the office of Viceroy of Peru to Manuel d’Amat i de Junyent.
Siege of Havana, Disgrace, and Death
He planned to return to Europe via the northern route through Panama and Cuba. In October 1761, he arrived in Havana, Cuba. During the Seven Years' War, the British fleet attacked the city. Manso, an experienced officer, was appointed commander of the Junta de Guerra and led the defense. After 67 days of siege, he had to capitulate in 1762 and surrender the city to the English (who later exchanged it for Florida in the 1763 Treaty of Paris).
José Antonio Manso de Velasco was tried by a military court in Spain and imprisoned in Granada. His property was confiscated. He died in 1767 at the age of 78, impoverished and disgraced.

Carlos Nuno Castel-Branco (* 1960 in Lourenço Marques, Portugiesisch-Ostafrika) ist ein mosambikanischer Politikwissenschaftler, Wirtschaftswissenschaftler, Hochschuldozent, Publizist und Menschenrechtsaktivist. Er gilt als eine der bekanntesten Personen der mosambikanischen Zivilgesellschaft. Er ist Gründer des Instituto de Estudos Sociais e Económicos.
Leben
Carlos Nuno-Castel Branco wurde 1960 in der damaligen portugiesischen Kolonie Portugiesisch-Ostafrika geboren, die sich 1975 für unabhängig erklärte. Castel-Branco und seine Familie verblieben in Mosambik, trotz eines Aufrufs der FRELIMO an alle Portugiesen das Land zu verlassen.
Nachdem er für kurze Zeit (1976/77) eine Erwachsenenschule in Maputo leitete, wurde Castel-Branco in die staatliche Armee (Forças Populares de Libertação de Moçambique) eingezogen, in der er bis 1983 diente. Parallel studierte er Entwicklungswissenschaften (Estudos de Desenvolvimento) am Zentrum für Afrikanische Studien (Centro de Estudos Africanos) der Universidade Eduardo Mondlane in Maputo, wo er 1982 mit dem Diplom abschloss. 1983 wechselte er als Beamter zur FRELIMO-Partei. Dort arbeitete er bis 1989 in der politischen Abteilung des Zentralkomitees. 1989/1990 war Castel-Branco kurzzeitig als Berater im mosambikanischen Ministerium für Industrie und Energie tätig.
In den 1990er Jahren widmete sich Castel-Branco seiner akademischen Karriere. Zunächst absolvierte er 1991 eine postgraduale Ausbildung in Economic Development an der University of East Anglia, der er 1992 einen Master in Industrial Development an der gleichen Einrichtung anschloss. 1997 schloss er seinen Master of Science in Economic Development an der University of Oxford ab. 2002 habilitierte sich Castel-Branco im Bereich der Wirtschaftswissenschaften an der SOAS mit dem Thema: „Economia Política da Política Industrial: o caso de Moçambique“ (Wirtschaftspolitik der Industriepolitik: Der Fall Mosambik).
Castel-Branco gründete zusammen mit anderen mosambikanischen Wissenschaftlern das unabhängige Forschungsinstitut Instituto de Estudos Sociais e Económicos. Von 2007 bis 2012 leitete er diese Einrichtung, bis heute ist er hier einer der Forschungsgruppenleiter.
Castel-Branco lehrt bis heute an der Universidade Eduardo Mondlane. Er ist zudem assoziierter Forscher an der SOAS und am Institute for Development Policy and Management der University of Manchester.
Öffentliches Wirken
Carlos Nuno Castel-Branco gilt als eine der bekanntesten Personen der mosambikanischen Zivilgesellschaft. Das frühere FRELIMO-Mitglied äußert sich regelmäßig kritisch über den Partei- und Staatsapparat und prangert Korruption, Misswirtschaft, Nepotismus und Vereinnahmung des Staatswesens durch die Partei an. Er gilt als Kritiker von staatlicher Seite vorangetriebenen Großprojekten, wie Mozal, Brücke Maputo–Katembe etc. Castel-Branco schreibt regelmäßig für die als Oppositionsmedien geltenden Zeitungen MediaFax und Canal de Moçambique.
Im November 2013 veröffentlichte Castel-Branco via Facebook einen offenen Brief an den damaligen Staatspräsidenten Armando Guebuza. In diesem warf er dem Präsidenten vor, sich auf Kosten des Landes zu bereichern und das Land „in den Faschismus“ führen zu wollen. Der Brief fand in den sozialen Netzwerken eine starke Verbreitung, die Oppositionsmedien MediaFax, Canal de Moçambique und Verdade druckten den Brief ebenso ab. Daraufhin erhob die Generalstaatsanwalt der Republik Mosambik Anklage gegen Castel-Branco, Fernando Veloso (Chefredakteur von Canal de Moçambique) und Fernando Banze (Chefredakteur von MediaFax) aufgrund von die „staatliche Sicherheit“ gefährdender Straftaten. Menschenrechtsorganisationen, wie beispielsweise Amnesty International, protestierten umgehend. Das Strafgericht des Stadtbezirks Kampfumo sprach Castel-Branco und den Mitangeklagten Mbanze letztendlich jedoch frei und sah die Kritik Castel-Brancos und die Verbreitung dieser durch die in der Verfassung garantierte Meinungsfreiheit gedeckt.

Carlos Nuno Castel-Branco (* 1960 in Lourenço Marques, Portuguese East Africa) is a Mozambican political scientist, economist, university lecturer, publicist, and human rights activist. He is considered one of the most well-known figures of Mozambican civil society. He is the founder of the Institute for Social and Economic Studies.
Life
Carlos Nuno-Castel Branco was born in 1960 in the then Portuguese colony of Portuguese East Africa, which declared independence in 1975. Castel-Branco and his family remained in Mozambique, despite a call from FRELIMO for all Portuguese to leave the country.
After briefly running an adult education school in Maputo (1976/77), Castel-Branco was conscripted into the state army (Forças Populares de Libertação de Moçambique), where he served until 1983. Parallel to this, he studied Development Studies (Estudos de Desenvolvimento) at the Center for African Studies (Centro de Estudos Africanos) at Eduardo Mondlane University in Maputo, where he graduated with a diploma in 1982. In 1983, he joined the FRELIMO party as an official. He worked there until 1989 in the political department of the Central Committee. In 1989/1990, Castel-Branco briefly served as an advisor in the Mozambican Ministry of Industry and Energy.
In the 1990s, Castel-Branco dedicated himself to his academic career. He first completed postgraduate training in Economic Development at the University of East Anglia in 1991, followed by a Master’s in Industrial Development from the same institution in 1992. In 1997, he earned a Master of Science in Economic Development at the University of Oxford. In 2002, Castel-Branco habilitated in economics at SOAS with the thesis: "Economia Política da Política Industrial: o caso de Moçambique" (Political Economy of Industrial Policy: The Case of Mozambique).
Together with other Mozambican scholars, Castel-Branco founded the independent research institute Instituto de Estudos Sociais e Económicos. From 2007 to 2012, he led this institution; to this day, he remains one of its research group leaders.
Castel-Branco continues to teach at Eduardo Mondlane University. He is also an affiliated researcher at SOAS and at the Institute for Development Policy and Management at the University of Manchester.
Public Activity
Carlos Nuno Castel-Branco is considered one of the most well-known figures of Mozambican civil society. The former FRELIMO member regularly expresses critical views on the party and state apparatus and denounces corruption, mismanagement, nepotism, and the co-optation of the state by the party. He is regarded as a critic of large projects promoted by the government, such as Mozal, the Maputo–Katembe Bridge, etc. Castel-Branco regularly writes for opposition media outlets such as MediaFax and Canal de Moçambique.
In November 2013, Castel-Branco published an open letter to then-President Armando Guebuza via Facebook. In this letter, he accused the president of enriching himself at the expense of the country and of trying to lead the nation "into fascism." The letter was widely circulated on social networks, and opposition media outlets MediaFax, Canal de Moçambique, and Verdade also published it. Subsequently, the Attorney General of the Republic of Mozambique filed charges against Castel-Branco, Fernando Veloso (editor-in-chief of Canal de Moçambique), and Fernando Banze (editor-in-chief of MediaFax) for crimes endangering "state security." Human rights organizations, such as Amnesty International, immediately protested. The criminal court of the Kampumo district ultimately acquitted Castel-Branco and the co-accused Mbanze, ruling that Castel-Branco's criticism and its dissemination were protected by the constitutional guarantee of freedom of expression.

Johan Ihre
|
Johan Ihre (3 March 1707 – 1 December 1780) was a Swedish philologist and historical linguist.
Life
Ihre was born in Lund, son of the theologian Thomas Ihre and his spouse Brita Steuchia. After his father's death in 1720, Johan Ihre was raised in the house of his grandfather Archbishop Mattias Stechius in Uppsala, and studied at Uppsala University, where he completed his magister degree in 1730. In 1730-1733 he studied abroad, in Oxford, London and Paris. He was in 1734 appointed docent in Uppsala, 1735 librarian at the University Library, and was from 1737 until his death holder of the Skyttean professorship in Eloquence and Government. He became a member of the Royal Academy of Letters in 1755. He was secretary of the Royal Swedish Society of Sciences in Uppsala.
Works
Ihre was the first scholar to recognize the sound change of the Germanic languages that was later to be elaborated on by Rasmus Christian Rask and Jakob Grimm and now known after the latter as Grimm's law.
In 1737 the German philologist Johann Georg Wachter (1663–1757) published an etymological dictionary of the German language, Glossarium Germanicum. This book had a great influence on Johan Ihre: in 1769 he published, along the same lines as Wachter's work, a Swedish etymological dictionary. Ihre's etymological dictionary of Swedish demonstrated the origin of words in Old Swedish forms and compared them to cognates in other languages. Ihre thought, in accordance with the historical speculations common at the time and derived from Icelandic sources, that the language had been brought to the Nordic countries by Odin. Ihre was also the first to demonstrate that the text of the Codex argenteus manuscript in the Uppsala University Library is identical to the Gothic Bible translation by Bishop Wulfila.

In 1730, Johan Ihre completed his master's degree in Uppsala. From 1730 to 1733, he studied abroad (including in Oxford, London, and Paris). In 1734, he became a lecturer at Uppsala University and from 1735 held the prestigious position of university librarian there. In 1737, he was appointed professor of Latin poetry. From 1738 until his death, he held the Skyttean Professorship, one of the most esteemed academic positions in Sweden. He served as rector of the university four times (1745, 1754, 1762, and 1774).
In 1755, Johan Ihre was elected to the Royal Swedish Academy of Sciences, History, and Antiquities (Swedish: Kungliga Vitterhets Historie och Antikvitets Akademien). In 1757, he and his family were ennobled.
Work
Johan Ihre became famous as the founder of Germanic linguistics and comparative linguistics in Sweden. His preliminary work influenced Jacob Grimm’s discovery of the Germanic consonant shift. In 1769, his etymological dictionary of the Swedish language was published, in which he systematically derived Swedish words from Old Norse and compared them with other Germanic languages.

Charles Moen Rice (born August 25, 1952) is an American virologist and Nobel Prize laureate whose main area of research is the hepatitis C virus. He is a professor of virology at the Rockefeller University in New York City and an adjunct professor at Cornell University and Washington University School of Medicine. At the time of the award he was a faculty at Rockefeller.
Rice is a Fellow of the American Association for the Advancement of Science, member of the National Academy of Sciences and was president of the American Society for Virology from 2002 to 2003. He received the 2016 Lasker-DeBakey Clinical Medical Research Award, jointly with Ralf F. W. Bartenschlager and Michael J. Sofia. Along with Michael Houghton and Harvey J. Alter, he was awarded the 2020 Nobel Prize in Physiology or Medicine "for the discovery of Hepatitis C virus."
Early life and education
Charles Moen Rice was born on August 25, 1952, in Sacramento, California.
Rice graduated Phi Beta Kappa with a BS in zoology from University of California, Davis, in 1974. In 1981, he received his PhD in biochemistry from the California Institute of Technology, where he studied RNA viruses in the laboratory of James Strauss. He remained at Caltech for four years to do postdoctoral research.
Career
After his postdoctoral work, Rice moved with his research group to the Washington University School of Medicine in 1986, where he remained until 2001.
Rice has been the Maurice R. and Corinne P. Greenberg Professor at Rockefeller University since 2001. He is also an adjunct professor at Washington University School of Medicine and Cornell University. He has served on committees for the Food and Drug Administration, National Institutes of Health, and World Health Organization.
He was the editor of Journal of Experimental Medicine from 2003 to 2007, Journal of Virology from 2003 to 2008, and PLoS Pathogens from 2005 to present. He has been an author of over 400 peer-reviewed publications.
Research
While at Caltech, he was involved in researching the genome of Sindbis virus and the establishment of flaviviruses as their own family of viruses. The strain of yellow fever virus he used for this work was eventually used for the development of the yellow fever vaccine. While exploring Sindbis virus at Washington University in St. Louis, Rice described how he produced infectious flavivirus RNA in the laboratory in a 1989 paper published in The New Biologist. The paper attracted the attention of Stephen Feinstone who was studying hepatitis C virus and suggested that Rice use the technique to develop a vaccine for hepatitis C. In 1997, Rice cultured the first infectious clone of hepatitis C virus for use in studies on chimpanzees in whom the virus was also endemic. In 2005, Rice was also part of a team that showed that a strain of an acute form of the virus identified in a human patient can be forced to replicate in a laboratory setting. Rice's contribution to hepatitis C research has earned him many awards.

Charles Moen Rice III (* 25. August 1952 in Sacramento) ist ein US-amerikanischer Virologe, Professor und Leiter des Labors für Virologie und Infektiöse Krankheiten an der Rockefeller University. Er gehört zu den führenden Wissenschaftlern auf dem Gebiet der Flaviviridae-Viren, zu denen auch das Hepatitis-C-Virus gehört. 2020 wurde ihm der Nobelpreis für Physiologie oder Medizin zuerkannt.
Leben und Wirken
Rice wurde 1952 als Sohn eines Versicherungsangestellten und einer Hausfrau in Sacramento, Kalifornien, geboren. Er begann zunächst Veterinärmedizin an der University of California, Davis, zu studieren. Während eines Biologiegrundkurses lenkte sein späterer Mentor David Barrett Rices Aufmerksamkeit auf den Bereich der Wissenschaften und Rice untersuchte im Rahmen eines Chemiepraktikums die Art und Weise, wie Seescheiden größere Mengen Vanadiums aus dem Meerwasser filtern können. Auf Barretts Vorschlag hin besuchte er einen Physiologiekurs im Marine Biological Laboratory, in dem er erste Laborerfahrungen im Bereich der Biophysik und -chemie machen konnte. Diese Erfahrungen gefielen ihm so sehr, dass er nach seinem Bachelor in Zoologie, den er 1974 an der University of California erhielt, für ein Jahr als Lehrassistent an das Marine Biological Laboratory zurückkehrte.
Im Herbst 1975 schrieb er sich in das Graduiertenprogramm im Fach Biochemie am California Institute of Technology (Caltech) ein, wo er 1981 promovierte. Seine Dissertation trug den Titel Studies on the structure proteins of Sindbis virus. Er blieb für weitere vier Jahre am Caltech und war dort als Postdoktorand tätig. Rice arbeitete im Labor von James Strauss, das die Vermehrung von RNA-Viren in ihren Wirten erforschte.
Ein Jahr später, 1986, wurde er Fakultätsmitglied an der Washington University in St. Louis, wo er bis zum Jahr 2000 blieb. Dort forschten er und sein Team unter anderem an der Biogenese und der Struktur von Hepatitis-C-Virus kodierten Proteinen.
Im Jahr 2000 wechselte Rice an die Rockefeller University und hat dort seitdem den Maurice R. and Corinne P. Greenberg-Lehrstuhl für Virologie inne. Außerdem ist er Leiter des Labors für Virologie und Infektiöse Krankheiten. Rice ist wissenschaftlicher Direktor und Geschäftsführer des Center of the Study of Hepatitis-C. Dieses Zentrum wurde von der Rockefeller University, dem Weill Cornell Medical College und dem NewYork-Presbyterian Hospital gegründet. Er war 2002 bis 2003 Präsident der American Society for Virology.
Rice veröffentlichte zusammen mit anderen Wissenschaftlern mehr als 250 wissenschaftliche Artikel und ist ehemaliger Herausgeber des Journal of Virology.
Auszeichnungen und Mitgliedschaften
Rice ist Fellow der American Association for the Advancement of Science (AAAS), Mitglied der National Academy of Sciences (NAS) und war Präsident der American Society of Virology (AVS). 2015 wurde Rice zusammen mit Ralf Bartenschlager von der Universität Heidelberg mit dem Robert-Koch-Preis ausgezeichnet. Die Robert-Koch-Stiftung begründete ihre Entscheidung damit, dass Rice dazu beitrug,
Seine Forschungstätigkeit zum Verständnis des Aufbaus der HCV-Viren, die Herstellung des ersten infektiösen Klons des Virus und das Aufstellen von Tiermodellen tragen dazu bei, dass nunmehr weitere Studien zur Bekämpfung dieses Virus stattfinden können.
Für 2016 wurden Rice der InBev-Baillet Latour Health Prize (Belgien) und (gemeinsam mit Ralf Bartenschlager und Michael J. Sofia) der Lasker~DeBakey Clinical Medical Research Award zugesprochen.
2020 erhielt er den Nobelpreis für Medizin, zusammen mit Harvey Alter und Michael Houghton, für die Entdeckung des Hepatitis-C-Virus. 2021 wurde Rice in die National Academy of Medicine gewählt.

Charles Moen Rice III (born August 25, 1952, in Sacramento) is an American virologist, professor, and head of the Laboratory of Virology and Infectious Diseases at Rockefeller University. He is one of the leading scientists in the field of Flaviviridae viruses, which include the hepatitis C virus. In 2020, he was awarded the Nobel Prize in Physiology or Medicine.
Life and Career
Rice was born in 1952 as the son of an insurance clerk and a housewife in Sacramento, California. He initially began studying veterinary medicine at the University of California, Davis. During an introductory biology course, his future mentor David Barrett drew his attention to the sciences, and Rice examined in a chemistry practicum how sea squirts can filter large amounts of vanadium from seawater. At Barrett’s suggestion, he attended a physiology course at the Marine Biological Laboratory, where he gained his first laboratory experience in biophysics and biochemistry. He enjoyed these experiences so much that after earning his bachelor's degree in zoology in 1974 from the University of California, he returned for a year as a teaching assistant at the Marine Biological Laboratory.
In the fall of 1975, he enrolled in the graduate program in biochemistry at the California Institute of Technology (Caltech), where he received his PhD in 1981. His dissertation was titled "Studies on the structure proteins of Sindbis virus." He stayed at Caltech for another four years as a postdoctoral researcher. Rice worked in James Strauss’s laboratory, which studied the replication of RNA viruses in their hosts.
A year later, in 1986, he became a faculty member at Washington University in St. Louis, where he remained until 2000. There, he and his team researched, among other topics, the biogenesis and structure of hepatitis C virus-encoded proteins.
In 2000, Rice moved to Rockefeller University, where he has held the Maurice R. and Corinne P. Greenberg Chair in Virology ever since. He is also the director of the Laboratory of Virology and Infectious Diseases. Rice is the scientific director and managing director of the Center for the Study of Hepatitis C, which was founded by Rockefeller University, Weill Cornell Medical College, and NewYork-Presbyterian Hospital. He served as president of the American Society for Virology from 2002 to 2003.
Rice has published more than 250 scientific articles in collaboration with other scientists and is a former editor of the Journal of Virology.
Awards and Memberships
Rice is a Fellow of the American Association for the Advancement of Science (AAAS), a member of the National Academy of Sciences (NAS), and has served as president of the American Society of Virology (AVS). In 2015, Rice and Ralf Bartenschlager from Heidelberg University were awarded the Robert Koch Prize. The Robert Koch Foundation justified their decision by stating that Rice contributed to understanding the structure of HCV viruses, the production of the first infectious clone of the virus, and the development of animal models, which now enable further studies to combat this virus.
In 2016, Rice was awarded the InBev-Baillet Latour Health Prize (Belgium) and, jointly with Ralf Bartenschlager and Michael J. Sofia, the Lasker~DeBakey Clinical Medical Research Award.
In 2020, he received the Nobel Prize in Physiology or Medicine, along with Harvey Alter and Michael Houghton, for the discovery of the hepatitis C virus. In 2021, Rice was elected to the National Academy of Medicine.

Frederic Newton Williams (19 March 1862, Brentford, West London – 6 May 1923, Isleworth, West London) was an English physician and botanist.
Biography
His father practised medicine in Brentford. Frederic Newton Williams was educated at Edward Bancroft's Hospital in London and then at St. Thomas' Hospital, where he became interested in botany. After qualifying with the degrees L.R.C.P. and L.S.A., he succeeded to his father's medical practice. Although Frederic Newton Williams continued to practise medicine, he was more interested in botany and the progress of the medicine and surgery. He frequently attended medical congresses abroad. He was elected in 1884 a fellow of the Linnean Society of London, in which he was an active participant.
His first botanical paper was written in Latin, a language which he wrote with fluency. He contributed many papers to the Journal of Botany: British and Foreign. He published some papers in French and Italian and also corresponded by letter in those languages with French and Italian botanists. He also had a good knowledge of German.
According to T. R. R. Stebbing, Williams visited Naples in the second decade of the 20th century and encountered a fraud involving the supposedly miraculous liquefaction of the blood of Saint Januarius and a pharmacist's preparation of a mixture of ox-bile and crystals of Glauber's salt.
Dianthus mooiensis, Gypsophila cephalotes, Pavetta corymbosa, and Vitex quinata are among the plant names credited to Williams.

Frederick Newton Williams (* 19. März 1862 in Brentford, Middlesex; † 6. Mai 1923 in Isleworth) war ein britischer Botaniker. Sein offizielles botanisches Autorenkürzel lautet „“.
Leben
Williams war der Sohn eines Arztes, der in Brentford praktizierte. Er besuchte zunächst das Edward Bancroft's Hospital in London und erhielt dann eine medizinische Ausbildung am St Thomas’ Hospital. Mit den Abschlüssen LRCP (Licentiate of the Royal College of Physicians) und LSA (Licentiate of the Society of Apothecaries) kehrte er nach Brentford zurück und übernahm die Praxis seines Vaters. Während ihm die praktische Tätigkeit als Mediziner wenig zusagte, interessierte er sich sehr für Fortschritte in der Medizin und Chirurgie und besuchte häufig auswärtige Kongresse. 1884 wurde er ein Fellow der Linnean Society of London, bei deren Veranstaltungen er als Sprecher auftrat und in deren Publikationen seine Beiträge erschienen.
Sein Interesse an der Botanik wurde während des Medizinstudiums geweckt. Diesbezügliche Erkenntnisse gewann er vor allem anhand von Exemplaren aus Herbarien wie die des British Museums und Kew Gardens, er betrieb kaum Feldstudien und legte keine eigenen Sammlungen an. Ein Schwerpunkt seiner Forschung lag auf dem Gebiet der Nelkengewächse. Er veröffentlichte Erstbeschreibungen einiger Arten (u. a. Dianthus algetanus). Der lange Zeit in seiner Nachbarschaft lebende Botaniker James Britten stufte Williams' Ansichten als individuell, ja sogar anarchisch ein, er respektiere keine Konventionen. Dies könne einer der Gründe dafür gewesen sein, dass Williams' wichtigster Beitrag zur Botanik, das zehnteilige Prodromus florae britannicae, vergleichsweise unbeachtet blieb.
Williams starb 1923 an einem Herzinfarkt im West Middlesex Hospital in Isleworth und wurde auf dem New Brentford Cemetery in Heston beerdigt.

Frederick Newton Williams (* March 19, 1862, in Brentford, Middlesex; † May 6, 1923, in Isleworth) was a British botanist. His official botanical author abbreviation is "".
Life
Williams was the son of a doctor who practiced in Brentford. He initially attended Edward Bancroft's Hospital in London and then received medical training at St Thomas’ Hospital. With the degrees LRCP (Licentiate of the Royal College of Physicians) and LSA (Licentiate of the Society of Apothecaries), he returned to Brentford and took over his father’s practice. Although he was not particularly interested in the practical work as a physician, he was very interested in advances in medicine and surgery and frequently attended external conferences. In 1884, he became a Fellow of the Linnean Society of London, where he spoke at events and his contributions appeared in their publications.
His interest in botany was awakened during his medical studies. He gained related knowledge mainly through specimens from herbaria such as those of the British Museum and Kew Gardens; he hardly conducted field studies or assembled his own collections. A focus of his research was in the field of the Caryophyllaceae (pink or carnation family). He published original descriptions of some species (including Dianthus algetanus). The botanist James Britten, who lived in his neighborhood for a long time, considered Williams’ views to be individualistic, even anarchistic; he did not respect conventions. This may have been one of the reasons why Williams’ most important contribution to botany, the ten-part Prodromus florae britannicae, remained relatively unnoticed.
Williams died in 1923 of a heart attack at the West Middlesex Hospital in Isleworth and was buried in the New Brentford Cemetery in Heston.

Emily Greene Balch
|
Emily Greene Balch (January 8, 1867 – January 9, 1961) was an American economist, sociologist and pacifist. Balch combined an academic career at Wellesley College with a long-standing interest in social issues such as poverty, child labor, and immigration, as well as settlement work to uplift poor immigrants and reduce juvenile delinquency.
She moved into the peace movement at the start of World War I in 1914, and began collaborating with Jane Addams of Chicago. She became a central leader of the Women's International League for Peace and Freedom (WILPF) based in Switzerland, for which she won the Nobel Peace Prize in 1946.
Life
Balch was born to a prominent Yankee family in Jamaica Plain, Massachusetts, a neighborhood of Boston, the daughter of Francis V. and Ellen (née Noyes) Balch. Her father was a successful lawyer and one time secretary to United States Senator Charles Sumner. She graduated from Bryn Mawr College in 1889 after reading widely in the classics and languages and focusing on economics. She did graduate work in Paris and published her research as Public Assistance of the Poor in France (1893). She did settlement housework in Boston before deciding on an academic career.
She then studied at Harvard University, the University of Chicago, and the University of Berlin, and began teaching at Wellesley College in 1896. She focused on immigration, consumption, and the economic roles of women. In 1913, she was appointed to serve as Professor of Economics at Wellesley, following the resignation of political economist Katharine Coman, who had founded the Department. That same year, Balch was promoted from Associate Professor to Professor of Political Economy and of Political and Social Science.
Balch served on numerous state commissions, such as the first commission on minimum wages for women. She was a leader of the Women's Trade Union League, which supported women who belonged to labor unions. She published a major sociological study of Our Slavic Fellow Citizens in 1910.
She was a longtime pacifist, and was a participant in Henry Ford's International Committee on Mediation, the follow-up organization to the Neutral Conference for Continuous Mediation. When the United States entered the war, she became a political activist opposing conscription in espionage legislation, and supporting the civil liberties of conscientious objectors. She collaborated with Jane Addams in the Women's Peace party and numerous other groups.
In a letter to the president of Wellesley, she wrote we should follow "the ways of Jesus." Her spiritual thoughts were that American economy was "far from being in harmony with the principles of Jesus which we profess." Wellesley College terminated her contract in 1919. Balch served as an editor of The Nation, a well-known magazine of political commentary.
Balch converted from Unitarianism and became a Quaker in 1921. She stated, "Religion seems to me one of the most interesting things in life, one of the most puzzling, richest and thrilling fields of human thought and speculation... religious experience and thought need also a light a day and sunshine and a companionable sharing with others of which it seems to me there is generally too little... The Quaker worship at its best seems to me give opportunities for this sort of sharing without profanation."
Her major achievements were just beginning, as she became an American leader of the international peace movement. In 1919, Balch played a central role in the International Congress of Women. It changed its name to the Women's International League for Peace and Freedom and was based in Geneva.
She was hired by the League as its first international Secretary-Treasurer, administering the organization's activities. She helped set up summer schools on peace education and created new branches in over 50 countries. She cooperated with the newly established League of Nations regarding drug control, aviation, refugees, and disarmament. In World War II, she favored Allied victory and did not criticize the war effort, but she did support the rights of conscientious objectors.
Nobel prize
She was nominated by Florence Paton, Cyril Dumpleton, Cairine Wilson, John Herman Randall, Stanley Knowles, Rudolf Schümperli, John Sturge Stephens, W. J. M. van Eysinga, Lucy Noel-Buxton, Judah Leon Magnes, Agnus MacInnis, Lucas Middleton and sixteen Finnish law professors and MPs.
She won the 1946 Nobel Peace Prize for her work with the Women's International League for Peace and Freedom (WILPF). She donated her share of the prize money to the WILPF. Her acceptance speech highlighted the issues of nationalism and efforts for international peace.
Personal life
Balch never married. She died the day after her 94th birthday.

Emily Greene Balch (* 8. Januar 1867 in Jamaica Plain, Boston, Massachusetts; † 9. Januar 1961 in Cambridge) war eine US-amerikanische Nationalökonomin, Pazifistin und Friedensnobelpreisträgerin.
Leben und Werk
Frühe Jahre und Ausbildung
Emily war das zweite von acht Kindern eines angesehenen Rechtsanwaltes und einer Lehrerin. Sie studierte von 1886 am Bryn Mawr College Griechische und Römische Literatur und erhielt für ihren ausgezeichneten Abschluss ein Stipendium, um in Europa weiter studieren zu können. Dort ging sie erst von 1890 bis 1891 nach Paris an die Sorbonne und studierte Volkswirtschaft, während dieser Zeit legte sie eine Studie zum Thema Öffentliche Hilfe für die Armen in Frankreich an. In der Folge kehrte sie in die USA zurück und studierte 1893 für ein Semester Ethik an der Harvard University und 1895 Soziologie und Volkswissenschaften an der Universität in Chicago, anschließend bis 1896 in Berlin, dort unter anderen bei Georg Simmel. In Berlin nahm sie außerdem an einem Treffen der Sozialistischen Internationale teil.
Wissenschaftliche Laufbahn und soziales Engagement
Nach ihrer Rückkehr in die Vereinigten Staaten im Jahr 1896 wurde sie Referentin für Wirtschaftswissenschaften am Wellesley College. Ab 1913 wurde sie Professorin für Politische Ökonomie, Politik- und Sozialwissenschaften. Als Forscherin in diesen Fächern spezialisierte sie sich auf die Probleme der starken Immigration in den Vereinigten Staaten. Ihr Hauptwerk Our Slavic Citizens (1910) setzte sich mit der Situation von Immigranten aus Süd- und Osteuropa auseinander.
Neben ihrer Tätigkeit engagierte sie sich sehr stark in der Settlement-Bewegung, die die Bildung von gemeinnützigen und sozialen Einrichtungen förderte. 1892 gründete sie mit Helen Cheever, Vida Scudder, Helena Dudley das Denison House, wo sie im Sinne der Settlement-Bewegung Nachbarn und Bedürftigen Unterricht und Unterstützung anboten. Von 1897 bis 1898 war sie im Magistrat der Stadt Boston und engagierte sich hier vor allem für die Betreuung von Kindern und die sozialen Probleme der Frauen sowie der Einwanderer. Im Rahmen ihrer Forschungsarbeit lebte sie bis 1910 einige Zeit in den Elendsquartieren der slawischen Einwanderer mehrerer amerikanischer Großstädte und reiste auch nach Osteuropa, um die dortige Lebensweise kennenzulernen. Von 1913 bis 1914 war sie in einer Staatskommission für Einwanderung und von 1914 bis 1917 im Komitee für Stadtplanung von Boston.
Ab 1915 war Emily Balch vermehrt in der Friedensbewegung tätig. Sie sprach sich vehement gegen den Eintritt der USA in den Ersten Weltkrieg aus und verlor demzufolge ihren Lehrstuhl an der Universität. Nach dem Ersten Weltkrieg wurde sie von 1918 bis 1922 Sekretärin und Schatzmeisterin der Internationalen Frauenliga für Frieden und Freiheit in Genf. Sie war bereits bei deren Gründung auf dem Internationalen Frauenfriedenskongress 1915 in Den Haag anwesend und sprach vor Kriegsende bei den Regierungen Russlands und Skandinaviens vor, um den Krieg zu beenden. 1922 legte sie ihren Posten aus gesundheitlichen Gründen nieder und arbeitete nur noch ehrenamtlich für die Organisation, 1937 wurde sie als Nachfolgerin von Jane Addams zur Internationalen Ehrenpräsidentin gewählt.
Im Jahre 1926 untersuchte sie die sozialen Verhältnisse auf Haiti und legte im Folgejahr der amerikanischen Regierung nahe, ihre dortigen Truppen abzuziehen und das Land in die Eigenverantwortung der einheimischen Bevölkerung zu geben. 1931 wurde Emily Greene Balch Vorsitzende der amerikanischen Sektion der Frauenliga und 1934 kehrte sie auf ihren Posten in Genf zurück, da sie finanzielle Probleme hatte.
Während der Zeit des Nationalsozialismus in Deutschland und des Zweiten Weltkrieges ging sie zurück in die USA und engagierte sie sich im Kampf gegen den Nationalsozialismus. Sie setzte sich außerdem vor allem für die europäischen Flüchtlinge und Asylsuchenden ein. Mit dem Angriff auf Pearl Harbor 1941 änderte sie ihre Meinung zum Krieg und zur Neutralität der USA und forderte den Eintritt des Staates in den Zweiten Weltkrieg. Nach den Atombombenabwürfen auf Hiroshima und Nagasaki sprach sie sich gegen eine atomare Aufrüstung aus und wollte eine Friedenspartei der Frauen gründen. 1946 wurde ihr „für ihren Mut, ihre Klarsicht und ihren Einsatz für die Menschen, unabhängig von Rasse, Religion, Klasse, Geschlecht und Nationalität“ der Friedensnobelpreis verliehen.

Emily Greene Balch (* January 8, 1867, in Jamaica Plain, Boston, Massachusetts; † January 9, 1961, in Cambridge) was an American economist, pacifist, and Nobel Peace Prize laureate.
Life and Work
Early Years and Education
Emily was the second of eight children of a respected lawyer and a teacher. She studied Greek and Roman literature at Bryn Mawr College from 1886 and received a scholarship for excellent performance to continue her studies in Europe. There, she first went to Paris to the Sorbonne from 1890 to 1891 to study economics; during this time, she conducted a study on the topic of Public Assistance for the Poor in France. Subsequently, she returned to the USA and studied ethics for one semester at Harvard University in 1893 and sociology and social sciences at the University of Chicago in 1895, then until 1896 in Berlin, among others with Georg Simmel. In Berlin, she also participated in a meeting of the Socialist International.
Academic Career and Social Engagement
After returning to the United States in 1896, she became a lecturer in economics at Wellesley College. From 1913, she was a professor of political economy, politics, and social sciences. As a researcher in these fields, she specialized in issues related to the large-scale immigration in the United States. Her main work, Our Slavic Citizens (1910), dealt with the situation of immigrants from Southern and Eastern Europe.
In addition to her academic work, she was very active in the Settlement Movement, which promoted the creation of charitable and social institutions. In 1892, she founded the Denison House with Helen Cheever, Vida Scudder, and Helena Dudley, where, in the spirit of the Settlement Movement, neighbors and the needy received instruction and support. From 1897 to 1898, she served on the Boston city council and was mainly involved in caring for children and addressing social problems of women and immigrants. As part of her research, she lived for some time until 1910 in the impoverished districts of Slavic immigrants in several American large cities and also traveled to Eastern Europe to learn about the local way of life. From 1913 to 1914, she was a member of a state commission on immigration, and from 1914 to 1917, she served on Boston’s city planning committee.
From 1915, Emily Balch increasingly engaged in the peace movement. She vehemently opposed the United States entering World War I and consequently lost her teaching position at the university. After World War I, she served as secretary and treasurer of the International League for Peace and Freedom in Geneva from 1918 to 1922. She was already present at its founding at the International Women’s Peace Congress in The Hague in 1915 and spoke to the governments of Russia and Scandinavia before the end of the war to help bring it to an end. In 1922, she resigned from her position due to health reasons and only worked as a volunteer for the organization afterward; in 1937, she was elected as the International Honorary President, succeeding Jane Addams.
In 1926, she investigated social conditions in Haiti and, the following year, urged the American government to withdraw its troops and give the country back to the local population. In 1931, Emily Greene Balch became chairwoman of the American section of the Women's League, and in 1934, she returned to her position in Geneva due to financial difficulties.
During the Nazi era in Germany and World War II, she moved back to the USA and actively fought against National Socialism. She also focused on helping European refugees and asylum seekers. With the attack on Pearl Harbor in 1941, she changed her views on the war and U.S. neutrality, advocating for the country's entry into World War II. After the atomic bombings of Hiroshima and Nagasaki, she spoke out against nuclear armament and wanted to establish a women’s peace party. In 1946, she was awarded the Nobel Peace Prize "for her courage, clarity, and dedication to people, regardless of race, religion, class, gender, and nationality."

Hans Helmcke
|
Hans Helmcke (1917, Cuxhaven – 16 August 1973, Hamburg), full name Hans Heinrich Helmcke, was an influential West Berlin pimp and brothel owner. He was murdered by rival pimps.
Biography
Helmcke, son of a Cuxhaven grocer emigrated to the United States in 1953. In 1959, under dubious circumstances, he received an inheritance of 250,000 dollars (at that time more than one million Deutschmarks) and returned to Germany.
Helmcke, who dominated Berlin's red-light district in the postwar period, came to fame as the operator of the Pension Clausewitz, a luxury brothel he had acquired with part of his inheritance at the beginning of the 1960s. He came into the public eye when, in 1965, the Pension Clausewitz had to close because there were accusations that the Stasi used the brothel for espionage purposes. Nonetheless, Helmcke remained the kingpin in the red-light underworld, and was known as the Brothel King and the King of Berlin.
In addition to prostitution, Helmcke was also active in drug trafficking and gambling. He also tried to use his contacts with the business world and the political circles of West Berlin, both closely intertwined, for profitable investments in real estate and construction projects. He invested three million deutschmarks in the construction of the Steglitzer Kreisel. When it became apparent in 1970 that the project could fail, and invested funds would have been lost, Helmcke commissioned the assassination of the architect Sigrid Kressmann-Zschach. However, the contract never came to fruition.
On 27 June of the same year Helmcke was involved in an armed conflict with Iranian pimps, over supremacy in the West Berlin red-light district. The firefight on Bleibtreustraße caused one fatality and three others were injured.
Death
On 14 August 1973 Hans Helmcke was lured to an apartment in Mathildenstraße in the St. Pauli district of Hamburg by some younger pimps and held captive. Two days later, on the 16 August, after failing to agree to their demands, he was strangled with his own tie. They tried to burn the body in a fire at a salvage yard, but the fire was prematurely extinguished as the yard didn't have a permit for outdoor fires. Two days later his partially burned body was found on the edge of Bundesautobahn 1 between Hamburg and Lübeck. Heinz-Uwe Röhl, Röhl's former wife Bärbel and Franz Holzer stood trial for his murder.

Hans Helmcke (* 4. Juli 1917 in Cuxhaven; † 16. August 1973 in Hamburg; mit vollständigem Namen Hans Heinrich Helmcke) war unter anderem ein einflussreicher West-Berliner Bordellunternehmer.
Helmcke, Sohn eines Cuxhavener Lebensmittelhändlers, ging 1953 in die USA, von wo er 1959 mit einer unter unklaren Umständen erlangten Erbschaft in Höhe von 250.000 Dollar (zu jener Zeit über eine Million D-Mark) nach Deutschland zurückkehrte.
Helmcke, der in der Nachkriegszeit das Berliner Rotlichtmilieu dominierte, wurde bekannt als Betreiber der Pension Clausewitz, eines Prominenten-Bordells, das er mit einem Teil seiner Erbschaft zu Beginn der 1960er Jahre erworben hatte. Er rückte ins Blickfeld der Öffentlichkeit, als im Jahre 1965 die Pension Clausewitz schließen musste, weil es Hinweise gab, dass die Stasi das Bordell zu Spionagezwecken nutzte. Ungeachtet dessen blieb Helmcke die maßgebliche Gestalt im Rotlichtmilieu, was sich auch in den Bezeichnungen Bordellkönig und King of Puff ausdrückt, mit denen man ihn belegte.
Neben der Prostitution war Helmcke auch auf den Gebieten des Drogenhandels und des Glücksspiels aktiv. Außerdem versuchte er, seine Kontakte zur Geschäftswelt und den politischen Kreisen West-Berlins, beide eng miteinander verflochten, für gewinnbringende Investitionen in Immobilien und Bauvorhaben zu nutzen. Er investierte drei Millionen D-Mark in den Bau des Steglitzer Kreisels. Als sich im Jahr 1970 abzeichnete, dass das Projekt scheitern könnte, womit die investierten Gelder verloren gewesen wären, gab Helmcke die Ermordung der verantwortlichen Architektin Sigrid Kressmann-Zschach in Auftrag; der Anschlag kam jedoch nicht zur Ausführung.
Am 27. Juni desselben Jahres ließ Helmcke einen Kampf um die Vorherrschaft im West-Berliner Rotlichtmilieu gegen eine Bande von Iranern mit Waffengewalt austragen, wobei seine Leute unter Führung seines Leibwächters Klaus Speer in der Bleibtreustraße einen konkurrierenden iranischen Zuhälter erschossen und drei weitere schwer verletzten.
Am 16. August 1973 wurde Hans Helmcke von einem verfeindeten Bordellunternehmer aus Hamburg-St. Pauli mit der eigenen Krawatte erdrosselt. Man fand seine teilweise verbrannte Leiche zwei Tage später am Rande der Autobahn 1 zwischen Hamburg und Lübeck.

He came into the public eye when, in 1965, Pension Clausewitz had to close because there were indications that the Stasi used the brothel for espionage purposes. Regardless, Helmcke remained a key figure in the red-light scene, as reflected in the titles "brothel king" and "King of Puff," by which he was known.
In addition to prostitution, Helmcke was active in drug trafficking and gambling. He also tried to leverage his contacts in the business world and political circles of West Berlin, both closely intertwined, for profitable investments in real estate and construction projects.

On June 27 of the same year, Helmcke engaged in a violent conflict over dominance in the West Berlin red-light scene against a gang of Iranians, during which his men, led by his bodyguard Klaus Speer, shot and killed a rival Iranian pimp and seriously injured three others on Bleibtreustraße.
On August 16, 1973, Hans Helmcke was strangled with his own tie by an enemy brothel owner from Hamburg-St. Pauli. His partially burned body was found two days later at the edge of the Autobahn 1 between Hamburg and Lübeck.

Joan Gardy Artigas
|
Joan Gardy Artigas (born 1938) is a Catalan ceramist, artist and was a close collaborator with Joan Miró.
Life
Artigas was born on 18 June 1938 in Boulogne-Billancourt (near Paris) and his father was Josep Llorens Artigas who worked closely with Miró and Pablo Picasso. Artigas was able to work for Miró, whilst still a teenager, because of his father's relationship with Miró. Artigas trained at the Ecole des Beaux Arts in Paris where he met the Swiss sculptor Alberto Giacometti. Artigas established his own studio where at Giacometti's suggestion he concentrated on sculpture. Artigas had some success and supplied his expertise to the cubists Georges Braque and Marc Chagall.
When Artigas created the 7,200 tiles for the Miró Wall he coloured the tiles based on an image which Miró had created. Using that scale model, he marked out each section on an individual tile. The artwork includes the signatures of both artists. Artigas' signature is dated 1979.
Artigas was later called to return to assisting Miró when his father decided to retire.
His father had worked with Miró for twenty years creating large murals including examples for UNESCO, IBM and the Palacio de Exposiciones y Congresos in Madrid. Artigas worked with Miró on, , one of his last large works which was covered in broken tiles by Artigas. In this case the tiles remind the viewer of Gaudi's work.
In 1982 Antoni Tàpies won the Gold Medal of Catalonia for a mosaic in the Plaça de Catalunya in Sant Boi de Llobregat. Artigas had constructed the ceramics for this prize winning exhibit. Artigas continued his own art and he was awarded his first solo exhibition in America in 1982. He has been a visiting artist at two American universities and he has founded a foundation to celebrate his father's work. Gardy-Artigas serves on the board of the foundation Fundació Joan Miró in Barcelona.

Joan Gardy Artigas, eigentlich Joan Llorens i Gardy, (* 18. Juni 1938 in Boulogne-Billancourt, Département Seine-et-Oise in Frankreich) ist ein spanischer Maler, Bildhauer und Keramiker. Bekannt wurde er für seine Zusammenarbeit mit Joan Miró.
Leben und Werk
Gardy Artigas wurde als Sohn von Josep Llorens i Artigas, einem bekannten Keramiker und Freund von Joan Miró, geboren. Er begann 1958 ein Studium an der Ecole du Louvre in Paris. 1959 lernte er Alberto Giacometti kennen, der ihn ermutigte, eine eigene Keramikwerkstatt in Paris zu eröffnen, wo er für Georges Braque und Marc Chagall arbeitete. 1960 begann er, neben dem Betrieb seiner Werkstatt, eigene Skulpturen zu entwerfen. Für Miró stellte er, zusammen mit seinem Vater, die monumentale Keramikwand für das UNESCO-Gebäude in Paris her. Anschließend bat ihn Miro, zurück nach Katalonien zu kommen, um in der väterlichen Werkstatt El Raco in Gallifa, einer Stadt nordwestlich von Barcelona, weitere Aufträge auszuführen.
Aus dieser Kooperation entstanden Keramik-Wandgemälde für die Harvard University, die Fondation Maeght in Saint-Paul-de-Vence, für den Flughafen von Barcelona, das Kunsthaus Zürich, das Wilhelm-Hack-Museum in Ludwigshafen, dem IBM-Gebäude in Barcelona und für das Palacio de Congresos in Madrid. 1981 bis 1982 fertigte er mit Miró den 22 m hohen Keramikbrunnen Dona i Ocell (Frau und Vogel) für den Parc de Joan Miró in Barcelona. Mit Gardy Artigas Hilfe entstand 1982 ein Mosaik von Antoni Tàpies für den Plaça de Catalunya in Sant Boi de Llobregat, für das Tàpies die Goldmedaille der Region Katalonien erhielt. 1990 schuf er für London mit Tiled Fountain eine selbst entworfene, aus handbemalter, glasierter, Keramik bestehende, 5 × 10 m große Brunnenanlage, die an der Ecke Primrose Street/Appold Street zu sehen ist.
1989 gründete er – in Erinnerung an seinen Vater – die Fundació Josep Tallers Llorens Artigas am angestammten Ort in El Raco in Gallifa, wo auch heute noch Künstler aus aller Welt für bis zu sechs Monate arbeiten können. Die Werkstatt wurde bisher von vielen namhaften Künstler aufgesucht, die von Gardy Artigas ihre Entwürfe ausführen ließen. Das besondere der Brennöfen in El Raco ist die Beheizung nach japanischer Bauart mit Holz; durch Ascheteile auf der Glasur entsteht dabei ein spezieller Effekt. Gardy Artigas ist Mitglied des Verwaltungsrats der Stiftung Fundació Joan Miró in Barcelona.

Joan Gardy Artigas, originally Joan Llorens i Gardy, (* June 18, 1938 in Boulogne-Billancourt, Seine-et-Oise Department in France) is a Spanish painter, sculptor, and ceramist. He became known for his collaboration with Joan Miró.
Life and Work
Gardy Artigas was born as the son of Josep Llorens i Artigas, a well-known ceramist and friend of Joan Miró. He began studying at the École du Louvre in Paris in 1958. In 1959, he met Alberto Giacometti, who encouraged him to open his own ceramics workshop in Paris, where he worked for Georges Braque and Marc Chagall. In 1960, he started designing his own sculptures alongside running his workshop. For Miró, he, together with his father, produced the monumental ceramic wall for the UNESCO building in Paris. Subsequently, Miró asked him to return to Catalonia to carry out further commissions in the father’s workshop El Raco in Gallifa, a town northwest of Barcelona.
From this collaboration, ceramic wall murals were created for Harvard University, the Maeght Foundation in Saint-Paul-de-Vence, for Barcelona Airport, the Zurich Art Museum, the Wilhelm Hack Museum in Ludwigshafen, the IBM building in Barcelona, and the Palace of Congresses in Madrid. Between 1981 and 1982, he and Miró created the 22-meter-high ceramic fountain Dona i Ocell (Woman and Bird) for the Parc de Joan Miró in Barcelona. With Gardy Artigas’s help, a mosaic by Antoni Tàpies was created in 1982 for Plaça de Catalunya in Sant Boi de Llobregat, for which Tàpies received the Gold Medal of the Catalonia region. In 1990, he designed a self-created, hand-painted, glazed ceramic fountain installation measuring 5 × 10 meters in London, called Tiled Fountain, which can be seen at the corner of Primrose Street and Appold Street.
In 1989, he founded – in memory of his father – the Fundació Josep Tallers Llorens Artigas at the family’s traditional site in El Raco in Gallifa, where artists from around the world can still work for up to six months. The workshop has been visited by many renowned artists, who had their designs executed by Gardy Artigas. The special feature of the kilns in El Raco is their Japanese-style heating with wood; ash particles on the glaze create a special effect. Gardy Artigas is a member of the board of the Fundació Joan Miró in Barcelona.

Ellen Dymphna Cusack AM (* 21. September 1902 in West Wyalong, New South Wales; † 19. Oktober 1981) war eine australische Schriftstellerin, die neben sieben Theaterstücken, drei Reiseberichten, zwei Kinderbüchern und einem Sachbuch zwölf Romane verfasste, wovon zwei in Zusammenarbeit mit Miles Franklin (Pioneers on Parade) sowie mit Florence Warden (Come in Spinner) entstanden. Cusack wandte sich gegen alle Formen sozialer Ungerechtigkeit, darunter die Benachteiligung von Frauen.
Biografie
Nach dem Schulbesuch studierte sie an der Universität Sydney und war anschließend als Lehrerin tätig. 1936 veröffentlichte sie ihren Debütroman mit dem Titel Jungfrau, der sich für die damalige Zeit ungewöhnlich offen mit dem Thema Sexualität beschäftigte. 1939 erschien der zusammen mit Miles Franklin verfasste Roman Pioneers on Parade.
Aufgrund einer Erkrankung verließ sie 1944 den Schuldienst und widmete sich nunmehr vollständig der Schriftstellerei. Im gleichen Jahr erschien eine Verfilmung ihres Dramas Red Sky at Morning, in der unter anderem Peter Finch eine Rolle übernahm.
1948 gewann sie einen Romanwettbewerb der Tageszeitung The Daily Telegraph mit ihrem Beitrag Come in Spinner, einer Geschichte über das Leben einer Gruppe von Frauen während des Zweiten Weltkrieges in Sydney, die sie gemeinsam mit der neuseeländischen Autorin Florence Warden geschrieben hatte und die in Buchform 1951 erschien. Aufgrund der klaren Darstellung von Ehebruch und Schwangerschaftsabbruch verzögerte sich die Veröffentlichung des Romans allerdings bis 1951, wobei eine vollständige Ausgabe erst 1988 erschien.
Dymphna Cusack veröffentlichte neben neun weiteren Romanen auch sieben Bühnenwerke, die ihre Beschäftigung mit gesellschaftlichen und politischen Nachteilen zeigen. Einige ihrer Werke erschienen bei Seven Seas Publishers, einer Reihe für englischsprachige Literatur im DDR-Verlag Volk und Welt.
Für ihre Verdienste um die australische Literatur wurde sie 1981 kurz vor ihrem Tod zum Mitglied des Order of Australia ernannt. 1989 verfilmte die Australian Broadcasting Corporation Come in Spinner, ihren gemeinsam mit Florence Warden verfassten Roman, als Fernsehserie.

Ellen Dymphna Cusack AM (* September 21, 1902, in West Wyalong, New South Wales; † October 19, 1981) was an Australian writer who, in addition to seven plays, three travel reports, two children's books, and a non-fiction book, authored twelve novels, two of which were created in collaboration with Miles Franklin (Pioneers on Parade) and Florence Warden (Come in Spinner). Cusack opposed all forms of social injustice, including the discrimination against women.
Biography
After attending school, she studied at the University of Sydney and then worked as a teacher. In 1936, she published her debut novel titled Virgin, which was unusually open for its time in dealing with the topic of sexuality. In 1939, the novel Pioneers on Parade, co-written with Miles Franklin, was published.
Due to illness, she left teaching in 1944 and dedicated herself entirely to writing. In the same year, a film adaptation of her play Red Sky at Morning was released, featuring Peter Finch among others.
In 1948, she won a novel competition organized by the daily newspaper The Daily Telegraph with her contribution Come in Spinner, a story about the lives of a group of women during World War II in Sydney, which she co-wrote with New Zealand author Florence Warden and which was published in book form in 1951. Due to its frank portrayal of adultery and abortion, the publication of the novel was delayed until 1951, with a complete edition only appearing in 1988.
Dymphna Cusack published, alongside nine other novels, seven plays that reflect her engagement with social and political disadvantages. Some of her works were published by Seven Seas Publishers, a series for English-language literature in the East German Volk und Welt publishing house.
For her contributions to Australian literature, she was appointed a Member of the Order of Australia in 1981, shortly before her death. In 1989, the Australian Broadcasting Corporation adapted her novel Come in Spinner, co-written with Florence Warden, into a television series.

Ján Zimmer
|
Ján Zimmer (16 May 1926 – 21 January 1993) was a Slovak post-romantic composer and pianist.
Biography
Ján Zimmer was born in Ružomberok, North Slovakia. He studied at the Bratislava Conservatory between 1941 and 1948 with (piano), Józef Weber (organ) and Eugen Suchoň (composition). Afterwards he studied composition with Ferenc Farkas at the Budapest Music Academy, and in Salzburg in 1949. From 1948 to 1952 he taught music theory and piano at the Bratislava Conservatory. He also worked for the Czechoslovak Radio. From 1952 he devoted his time exclusively to composition and performance as a concert pianist (he performed in particular the piano part of his own piano concertos). His works, in the post-romantic style, are overall expressionistic and occasionally incorporate Slovakian folk music. Some of his works, such as the cantata The Uprising (1954), the powerful symphonic poem Strečno (1958), and the vocal symphonic poem Liberation (1975) are written in a nationalist spirit. Ján Zimmer composed more than 120 works, including especially two operas (1963 and 1977), twelve symphonies (from 1955 to 1985), seven piano concertos (from 1949 to 1985), many other concertos for various instruments, chamber music, songs, choral works (including a Magnificat, 1951), and numerous pieces for piano solo. He died in 1993 in Bratislava, at age 66.

Ján Zimmer

Ján Zimmer (* 16. Mai 1926 in Ružomberok; † 21. Januar 1993 in Bratislava) war ein slowakischer Komponist und Pianist.
Leben
Geboren im nordslowakischen Ružomberok, studierte Ján Zimmer 1941–1948 am Konservatorium Bratislava bei Anna Kafendová (Klavier), Józef Weber (Orgel) und Eugen Suchoň (Komposition). Schon ab 1948 lehrte er selbst Musiktheorie und Klavier am Konservatorium Bratislava, er setzte aber auch seine eigene Ausbildung bei Ferenc Farkas an der Musikakademie Budapest und 1949 beim Sommerkurs des „Seminar in American Studies in Salzburg“ fort. Daneben arbeitete er für den Tschechoslowakischen Rundfunk. In seiner politischen Haltung umstritten und dem kommunistischen System suspekt, war er den Behörden in seinen beruflichen Anstellungen nicht mehr genehm. Er blieb in der ČSSR und wirkte seit 1952 primär freischaffend als Komponist und Konzertpianist, wobei er sehr häufig als Interpret eigener Werke auftrat.
In seinem Schaffen ging Zimmer von der spätromantischen Tradition aus, die er mit expressionistischen Mitteln und Modalität bzw. damit in Zusammenhang stehend melodischen und rhythmischen Elementen der slowakischen Volksmusik zu einer persönlichen Tonsprache verknüpfte. Stilistisch fand seine den verschiedenen Trends der Avantgarde und Experimenten fernstehende Musik durchaus die Akzeptanz der Kulturbehörden. Gelegentlich griff Zimmer sogar politisch genehme nationalistische Thematik auf, so etwa in der Kantate Povstanie (Aufstand) von 1954. Auch finden sich bei seinen Textvertonungen oft Schriftsteller, deren Lyrik im Rahmen des vom Sozialistischen Realismus offiziell Verordneten stand. Mehrere Werke in seinem Katalog spiegeln nationalen Bezug im Sinn von Verbundenheit zur Slowakei oder tragen explizit religiösen Charakters wie das Magnificat (1951). Mit seinen dreizehn Sinfonien und sieben Klavierkonzerten ist Zimmer einer der zentralen Komponisten dieser beiden Gattungen in der slowakischen Musik des 20. Jahrhunderts.
Jan Zimmer war mit der 1934 geborenen akademischen Malerin Eva Grešáková verheiratet. Sein Schwiegervater war der Komponist Jozef Grešák, sein Sohn ist der Dirigent Richard Zimmer.

As early as 1948, he taught music theory and piano at the Bratislava Conservatory himself, but also continued his own training with Ferenc Farkas at the Budapest Music Academy and in 1949 at the summer course of the "Seminar in American Studies in Salzburg." In addition, he worked for Czechoslovak Radio. Politically controversial and suspicious of the communist system, he was no longer approved by the authorities in his professional positions. He remained in Czechoslovakia and from 1952 primarily worked as a freelance composer and concert pianist, frequently performing as an interpreter of his own works.
In his work, Zimmer drew from the late Romantic tradition, which he combined with expressionist means and modal elements, as well as melodic and rhythmic elements related to Slovak folk music, creating a personal musical language. Stylistically, his music, which was distant from various avant-garde trends and experiments, was quite accepted by the cultural authorities. Occasionally, Zimmer even addressed politically acceptable nationalist themes, such as in the cantata Povstanie (Uprising) from 1954. His vocal settings often featured writers whose poetry was within the framework of the officially prescribed Socialist Realism. Several works in his catalog reflect a national connection in the sense of a bond with Slovakia or explicitly carry religious character, such as the Magnificat (1951). With his thirteen symphonies and seven piano concertos, Zimmer is one of the central composers of these two genres in 20th-century Slovak music.
Jan Zimmer was married to the academic painter Eva Grešáková, born in 1934. His father-in-law was the composer Jozef Grešák, and his son is the conductor Richard Zimmer.

Cyril Napp

Cyril František Napp (; 5 October 1792 – 22 July 1867) was an Austro-Czech abbot of the Augustinian order who took an interest in education and scholarship. He took an interest in horticulture and agriculture, and encouraged the work of Gregor Mendel who succeeded him at the Brno monastery of St Thomas as abbot.
Biography
Napp was born in Jevíčko where his father Ludwig was a glove maker of German origins. Napp was educated at Jevíčko before going to study philosophy at Olomouc. After graduating in 1811 he joined the augustinian monastery in Brno and was ordained in 1815. He became a professor at the seminary in 1817 and became an abbot in 1824. He encouraged learning at the monastery and made it a centre for scholarship. He catalogued the books in the library of the monastery and conducted studies on plants in the garden of the monastery. He was also involved in encouraging the work of Gregor Mendel. In 1827 he helped establish a fire insurance company in Moravia and Silesia. He also took an interest in the politics of Moravia and contributed to the development of the technical university in Brno by influencing the Margrave of Moravia through the regional committee that he represented from 1829 to 1861. From 1865 he served as director for the Moravian-Silesian Society for the promotion of agriculture, nature and regional studies. Napp also encouraged musicians as part of the activities of the Brno choir. Although of German origins, he encouraged the Czech national revival and was an advisor to the Czech Museum in Prague.
After Napp's death, the position of abbot at the Brno monastery was taken by Gregor Mendel.

Cyrill Napp
|
Cyrill Franz Napp OESA (* 5. Oktober 1792 in Gewitsch, Bezirk Mährisch Trübau; † 21.(?) oder 22. Juli 1867 in Alt Brünn) war ein österreichischer Augustinereremit und gewählter Abt des Stiftes St. Thomas in Alt Brünn.
Leben
Napp wurde als Sohn des Handschuhmachermeisters Ludwig Napp und seiner Frau Anna Maria (geborene Bergesin) geboren und auf den Namen Franz getauft. Der Vater (1757–ca. 1810) stammte aus Dexheim in Rheinhessen, war ursprünglich evangelisch und konvertierte später zum Katholizismus.
Napp absolvierte das Gymnasium in Olmütz und studierte an der Universität Olmütz Philosophie. Im Jahre 1810 trat er in das St. Thomas-Augustinerkloster Alt Brünn ein, nahm den Ordensnamen Cyrill an. Drei Jahre später legte er die Ordensgelübde ab. Nach Abschluss seiner Studien an der Theologischen Lehranstalt des Brünner Priesterseminars empfing er 1815 die Priesterweihe und erhielt wenig später die Professur für Altes Testament und orientalische Sprachen an der Theologischen Lehranstalt in Brünn.
Prälat
Am 11. März 1824 wählten ihn die Mitbrüder zum Abt des Klosterstiftes St. Thomas; er leitete es über 40 Jahre bis zu seinem Tod. Dabei war ihm die Förderung junger Talente ein besonderes Anliegen und so entwickelte sich das Kloster bald zu einem Zentrum der Gelehrsamkeit. Napp schickte Gregor Mendel, seinen späteren Nachfolger, zum Studium der Naturwissenschaften an die kaiserliche Universität Wien.
Danach errichtete Napp 1854 in seinem Prälatengarten eine Orangerie und ein Gewächshauses, womit er Mendels langjährige Kreuzungsversuche mit Pflanzen förderte.
Profanes Wirken
Neben seinen Aufgaben als Abt bekundete Napp großes Interesse an den kulturellen, wirtschaftlichen, sozialen und politischen Belangen Mährens. Er war Mitglied der mährischen Ständeversammlung, des Landesausschusses und mehrerer Kommissionen. In diesen Funktionen beteiligte er sich an zahlreichen Maßnahmen zur Hebung und Verbesserung der kulturellen und wirtschaftlichen Verhältnisse seiner Heimat. So wirkte er an der Schaffung eines Lehrstuhles für tschechische Sprache und Literatur, der Errichtung einer Technischen Hochschule in Brünn, der Gründung einer Brandschaden-Versicherungsanstalt und einer Forstschule mit. Er war langjähriges Mitglied und seit 1865 Direktor der Mährisch-Schlesischen Gesellschaft, die sich der Förderung des Ackerbaues und der Natur- und Landeskunde widmete.
Fürsorge
In der Landeshauptstadt Brünn gab es einen „wohlthätigen Männerverein“, der Napp die Geschäftsleitung von 1828 bis 1862 übertrug. In der Zeit wurde in der Stadt das Armenhaus erbaut und die ersten zwei „Kinderbewahranstalten“ gegründet.

Cyrill Franz Napp OESA (* October 5, 1792, in Gewitsch, Mährisch Trübau district; † July 21(?) or 22, 1867, in Alt Brünn) was an Austrian Augustinian hermit and elected abbot of the St. Thomas Monastery in Alt Brünn.
Life
Napp was born as the son of the glove maker master Ludwig Napp and his wife Anna Maria (née Bergesin), and was baptized with the name Franz. His father (1757–ca. 1810) came from Dexheim in Rheinhessen, was originally Protestant and later converted to Catholicism.
Napp attended high school in Olmütz and studied philosophy at the University of Olmütz. In 1810, he entered the St. Thomas Augustinian Monastery in Alt Brünn, taking the monastic name Cyrill. Three years later, he took his monastic vows. After completing his studies at the Theological Teaching Institute of the Brünn Seminary, he was ordained a priest in 1815 and soon after received a professorship for the Old Testament and oriental languages at the Theological Teaching Institute in Brünn.
Prelate
On March 11, 1824, his brothers elected him abbot of the St. Thomas Monastery; he led it for over 40 years until his death. Promoting young talents was a particular concern of his, and the monastery soon developed into a center of scholarship. Napp sent Gregor Mendel, his later successor, to study natural sciences at the Imperial University in Vienna. Subsequently, in 1854, Napp established an orangery and a greenhouse in his prelate’s garden, supporting Mendel’s long-standing cross-breeding experiments with plants.
Secular Work
In addition to his duties as abbot, Napp showed great interest in the cultural, economic, social, and political affairs of Moravia. He was a member of the Moravian Estates Assembly, the Provincial Committee, and several commissions. In these roles, he participated in numerous initiatives to uplift and improve the cultural and economic conditions of his homeland. He contributed to the creation of a chair for Czech language and literature, the establishment of a Technical University in Brünn, the founding of a fire damage insurance company, and a forestry school. He was a long-standing member and since 1865 director of the Moravian-Silesian Society, dedicated to promoting agriculture, natural history, and regional studies.
Care
In the capital city of Brünn, there was a "Charitable Men's Association," which entrusted Napp with its management from 1828 to 1862. During this period, the city built an almshouse and established the first two "children's homes."

Charles Jones (photographer)

Charles Harry Jones (1866 – 15 November 1959) was an English gardener and photographer, noted for his still lifes of fruit and vegetables.
Biography
Born in Wolverhampton in 1866, although his father was a master butcher, Charles Harry Jones became a gardener. He worked on a number of private estates in England from the 1890s, including Great Ote Hall, near Burgess Hill, Sussex. His gardening was noted for the quality of his flowerbeds and cultivation of fruits and vegetables. He was also ingenious in providing a long season for fruit and vegetables. As a photographer, Jones was noted for his documentation of the fruits of his gardening labours. Jones also offered his services as a photographer to other gardeners.
He married in 1894. By 1910 he and his family moved to Lincolnshire, where he died on 15 November 1959, aged ninety-two.
Photographic work
The photographs were probably made between 1895 and 1910, and likely while he was employed at Ote Hall. Jones' work was never exhibited in his lifetime, and was largely unknown even to his family, until the photographic prints were discovered by accident in 1981. Sean Sexton found a suitcase containing hundreds of prints of vegetables, fruits and flowers at Bermondsey antiques market. Other than a very few exceptions, Jones' photographs exist only in unique examples. None of the glass-plate negatives have been located.
Jones isolated his vegetables, fruits and flowers against neutral dark or light backgrounds, in the manner of formal studio portraits. He used long exposures and small apertures to give depth of field.
Legacy
Since Sexton's discovery, the collection of Jones' photographs has slowly been dispersed by him through auction and by other means. It has been collected by institutions and private collectors and exhibited at The Fine Arts Museums of San Francisco, the Musée de Elysée, Lausanne and at other venues and also been the subject of a book. In 2021 several of Jones' photographs were included in an exhibition at the Dulwich Picture Gallery about the history of photography through images of plants and botany, since they illustrate the use of gelatin silver printing.

Charles Jones (Fotograf)
|
Charles Harry Jones (* 1866 in Wolverhampton; † 15. November 1959) war ein britischer Gärtner und Fotograf. Sein fotografisches Werk, das vor allem aus Nahaufnahmen von Gemüse, Obst und Blumen besteht, wurde erst mehr als 20 Jahre nach seinem Tod wiederentdeckt. Es erfuhr seitdem aufgrund seines außergewöhnlichen Stils, der an Fotografien der Neuen Sachlichkeit erinnert, einige Aufmerksamkeit in der Kunstwelt.
Leben
Charles Jones war der Sohn eines Fleischermeisters. Wann und wo er seine Ausbildung zum Gärtner machte, ist nicht bekannt. Er war bei verschiedenen Privatpersonen als Gärtner tätig. Über eine Anstellung auf dem Anwesen Ote Hall im Parish Wivershill in Sussex berichtete im September 1905 die Gartenbauzeitschrift The Gardeners’ Chronicle. Darin wird Jones als talentierter Gärtner mit viel Einfallsreichtum beschrieben, dem es trotz der nur eingeschränkten Ausstattung gelungen sei, gute Obst-, Gemüse- und Blumenernten zu erzielen. Der Artikel erwähnt auch Jones’ Fotografien, die er ab und zu in Gartenzeitschriften veröffentlichte. Irgendwann vor 1910 verließ Jones zusammen mit seiner Frau, die er 1894 geheiratet hatte, und ihren gemeinsamen Kindern Ote Hall. Sie ließen sich in Lincolnshire nieder. Dort lebte er sehr zurückgezogen ohne Strom und fließendes Wasser. Jones starb 1959.
Fotografisches Werk
Jones’ überliefertes fotografisches Werk umfasst einige hundert goldgetönte Gelatinesilberdrucke, die von Glasplattennegativen hergestellt wurden. Jones fertigte sie in drei verschiedenen Formaten an: 152 × 108 mm, 216 × 165 mm und 253 × 203 mm. Der irische Fotosammler Sean Sexton hatte sie 1981 in einem Koffer auf dem Bermondsey Market, einem Antiquitätenmarkt in London, entdeckt und für einen geringen Preis erworben. Die meisten dieser Fotos zeigen Nahaufnahmen von Stillleben. Auf etwa zwei Dritteln ist Gemüse zu sehen, das restliche Drittel besteht zu etwa gleichen Teilen aus Fotos von Obst und Blumen. Von fast allen Aufnahmen ist nur ein Abzug vorhanden. Auf den Rückseiten der meisten Abzüge notierte Jones den Pflanzennamen sowie seine Initialen, auf wenigen Fotos ist auch sein vollständiger Name zu finden. Wann und wo die Fotos aufgenommen wurden, ist nicht klar. Der Kurator Robert Flynn Johnson vermutet, dass sie zwischen 1895 und 1910 entstanden. Negative sind nicht überliefert. Laut seiner Enkelin nutzte Jones in seinen späten Lebensjahren Negativglasplatten, um damit junge Pflänzchen zu schützen.
Jones arrangierte die fotografierten Objekte vor schwarzem und weißem Hintergrund, wodurch sie an Studioporträts erinnern: „Es ist keine Übertreibung, seine Fotografien als Charakterporträts zu bezeichnen“, hieß es in einer Einschätzung seiner Arbeiten durch die Kunstkritikerin Laura Cumming. Durch eine lange Belichtungszeit sorgte Jones bei seinen Fotos für Bildtiefe und das komplette Kontrastspektrum. Damit ähneln seine Fotos den Stilllebenfotografien, die Jahre später von Vertretern der Neuen Sachlichkeit wie Karl Blossfeldt und Edward Weston geschaffen wurden. Auch mit Arbeiten von Imogen Cunningham sind Jones’ Fotografien vergleichbar. Da Jones keine Aufzeichnungen hinterließ, bleibt seine Motivation für diesen Stil unklar.
Neben den überlieferten Fotografien gibt es Hinweise, dass Jones weitere Aufnahmen machte. So soll er in der Gartenzeitschrift Popular Gardening angeboten haben, Gartenaufnahmen zu 6 Pence das Stück zu machen. Seine Enkelin berichtete auch von einer Fotoserie über das Grimsthorpe Castle in Bourne.
Nachwirkung
Jones’ Fotos wurden in die Sammlungen verschiedener Museen aufgenommen, darunter die des Victoria and Albert Museums in London sowie des Museums of Fine Arts, Boston. Daneben wurden sie auch an private Sammler verkauft. Ausstellungen waren unter anderem im M. H. de Young Memorial Museum in San Francisco und im Musée de l’Elysée in Lausanne zu sehen.
1998 erschien im Londoner Verlag Thames & Hudson der Bildband The Plant Kingdoms of Charles Jones, der von Sean Sexton und dem Ausstellungskurator Robert Flynn Johnson herausgegeben wurde. Das Buch enthält etwa 100 Fotografien von Jones sowie eine Einführung von Johnson, in der er Jones’ Leben und Werk beschreibt und einordnet. Die US-Gastronomin Alice Waters, eine Pionierin der Bio-Lebensmittel-Bewegung, verfasste ein Vorwort für den Bildband. Für sie illustrieren Jones’ Fotos den Vorteil von regional angebauten gegenüber anders produzierten Lebensmitteln. 1999 erschien eine deutschsprachige Ausgabe des Bildbands im Münchener Verlag Frederking & Thaler.

Charles Harry Jones (* 1866 in Wolverhampton; died November 15, 1959) was a British gardener and photographer. His photographic work, which mainly consists of close-up shots of vegetables, fruit, and flowers, was rediscovered more than 20 years after his death. Since then, it has attracted some attention in the art world due to its extraordinary style, reminiscent of photographs of the New Objectivity.
Life
Charles Jones was the son of a butcher master. When and where he trained as a gardener is not known. He worked as a gardener for various private individuals. In September 1905, the horticultural magazine The Gardeners’ Chronicle reported that he was employed at the Ote Hall estate in the parish of Wivershill in Sussex. It described Jones as a talented gardener with a lot of ingenuity, who managed to achieve good harvests of fruit, vegetables, and flowers despite limited equipment. The article also mentioned Jones’ photographs, which he occasionally published in gardening magazines. At some point before 1910, Jones left Ote Hall along with his wife, whom he married in 1894, and their children. They settled in Lincolnshire. There, he lived very secluded, without electricity or running water. Jones died in 1959.
Photographic Work
Jones’ surviving photographic work includes several hundred gold-toned gelatin silver prints made from glass plate negatives. He produced them in three different formats: 152 × 108 mm, 216 × 165 mm, and 253 × 203 mm. Irish photo collector Sean Sexton discovered them in 1981 in a suitcase at Bermondsey Market, an antiquities market in London, and purchased them for a modest price. Most of these photos show close-up still lifes. About two-thirds feature vegetables, while the remaining third roughly equally depict fruit and flowers. Almost all images exist as only one print. On the backs of most prints, Jones noted the plant names and his initials; on a few photos, his full name can be found. It is not clear when and where the photos were taken. Curator Robert Flynn Johnson suspects they were created between 1895 and 1910. Negatives are not known to have survived. According to his granddaughter, Jones used glass negatives in his later years to protect young plants.
Jones arranged the photographed objects against black and white backgrounds, making them resemble studio portraits: “It is no exaggeration to call his photographs character portraits,” said art critic Laura Cumming in an assessment of his work. Through a long exposure, Jones achieved depth and a full contrast spectrum in his photos. This makes his photographs similar to still life photography later created by representatives of the New Objectivity such as Karl Blossfeldt and Edward Weston. His photos are also comparable to works by Imogen Cunningham. Since Jones left no records, his motivation for this style remains unclear.
In addition to the surviving photographs, there are indications that Jones took further images. He is said to have offered garden photographs at 6 pence each in the gardening magazine Popular Gardening. His granddaughter also reported a photo series of Grimsthorpe Castle in Bourne.
Legacy
Jones’ photos have been included in the collections of various museums, including the Victoria and Albert Museum in London and the Museum of Fine Arts in Boston. They have also been sold to private collectors. Exhibitions have been held at venues such as the M. H. de Young Memorial Museum in San Francisco and the Musée de l’Elysée in Lausanne.
In 1998, the London publisher Thames & Hudson released the photo book The Plant Kingdoms of Charles Jones, edited by Sean Sexton and exhibition curator Robert Flynn Johnson. The book contains about 100 of Jones’ photographs and an introduction by Johnson, describing and contextualizing Jones’ life and work. American gastronomy pioneer Alice Waters, a pioneer of the organic food movement, wrote a foreword for the volume. She states that Jones’ photos illustrate the advantages of locally grown foods over those produced elsewhere. In 1999, a German-language edition of the book was published by Munich publisher Frederking & Thaler.

Carlo Giuseppe Imbonati ("Imbonatus") was a Cistercian scholar who was active during the last half of the 17th century. He spent much of his career in Rome and rose to the title of abbot. He was a theologian and a Hebrew scholar who wrote prolifically in his fields. The last known references to the man are dated in 1696.
Life
He was born at Milan. He occupied the chairs of theology and Hebrew in Rome and was raised to the dignity of abbot.
Works
A former pupil of Giulio Bartolocci, who was a member of the same order and projector of the Bibliotheca magna rabbinica, Imbonati eventually became his master's collaborator. When Bartolocci died he completed and edited the fourth volume (Rome 1693) of this work, which laid the foundation for Johann Christoph Wolf's Bibliotheca hebræa and other works. Imbonati brought out a supplementary fifth volume under the title Bibliotheca latino-hebraica, sive de Scriptoribus latinis, qui ex diversis nationibus contra Judaeos vel de re hebraica utcumque scripsere (Rome, 1694). This volume also contains a "Chronology of Sacred Scripture" and two dissertations (on the Messiah, and on the Divinity and Humanity of Christ) based upon miscellaneous Hebrew, Greek, and Latin writings.
Imbonati's Chronicon Tragicum, sive de eventibus tragicis Principum (Rome, 1696) was a didactic work. The dedicatory letter, prefixed to this work and addressed to Cardinal Coelestinus Sfondratus, O.S.B., is dated from San Bernardo alle Terme, the monastery in the Baths of Diocletian, 1 April 1696. This is the latest date known concerning Imbonati.

Richard M. Weiner (6 February 1930 – 13 August 2020) was a professor of theoretical physics at the University of Marburg in Marburg, Germany and an associate of the Laboratoire de Physique Théorique at Paris-Sud 11 University in Orsay, France.
Biography
Weiner was born 1930 in Cernăuți, former Romania (presently Chernivtsi, Ukraine). He was a survivor of the Chernivtsi ghetto.
Weiner got his PhD in Physics at the University of Bucharest in 1958, and from 1951 to 1968 he worked as a research scientist at the Physics Institute of the Romanian Academy of Sciences. Because of his intention to leave the Romanian communist regime, he was retrograded and denied an exit visa, being one of the first refuseniks of Central and Eastern Europe. His 1969 flight from communist Romania and joining CERN made headlines in the media.
Work
Richard Weiner predicted the isomeric shift which has found wide applications in many fields of physics. He also predicted the hot spot effect in subatomic physics and has made contributions to the theory of Bose–Einstein correlations being also the author of the only textbook on Bose–Einstein correlations. He was the initiator and co-organizer of the series of meetings LESIP. He also published a book titled Analogies in Physics and Life, A scientific Autobiography.).
He supervised Ph.D. theses by Norbert Stelte, Michael Plümer, Udo Ornik, Fernando Navara, Bernhard Schlei, and Nelly Arbex, and had as Postdoctoral collaborators among others Sibaji Raha, Apostolos Vourdas, Fred Pottag, and Leonid Razumov.
Weiner had over 180 publications in scientific journals and books. He also published a science-fiction novel in German Das Miniatom-Projekt. He was asked for interviews, among others by the Frankfurter Rundschau and was invited by Hessischer Rundfunk within the series Doppelkopf dedicated to renowned personalities.

Slobodan "Krcun" Penezić (; 2 July 1918 – 6 November 1964) was a Yugoslav communist politician who served as Prime Minister and Minister of Internal Affairs of the Socialist Republic of Serbia. During his heyday, he was the Secret Police chief in Serbia.
He was also notable for leading the arrest of Draža Mihailović and for being awarded the Order of the People's Hero (on 5 July 1952).
Career
Penezić was a member of the Central Committee of the League of Communists of Yugoslavia, a member of the League of Communists of Serbia Executive Committee and was also chairman of the Executive Council of the Serbian parliament.
Death
On 6 November 1964, Penezić and were killed in a car accident when their car skidded off a wet road into a tree. Penezić's death cleared the way for plans by Josip Broz Tito to limit the power of secret police chief Aleksandar Ranković at a crucial party congress.
His wife was among those who doubted the circumstances of his death, but his son considered finding out hard facts nearly impossible.

Slobodan Penezić (auch bekannt als „Krcun“; Слободан Пенезић Крцун/ Slobodan Penezić Krcun; geb. 2. Juli 1918; gest. 6. November 1964) war ein jugoslawischer Parteifunktionär und Staatsmann, Vorsitzender des Exekutivrats der Sozialistischen Republik Serbien (Teil der SFRJ) von 1962 bis 1964; Innenminister Serbiens während der Herrschaft von Josip Broz Tito.
Penezić war auch an der Verhaftung des Tschetnik-Führers Draža Mihailović beteiligt. Am 5. Juli 1952 wurde Penezić mit dem jugoslawischen Orden des Volkshelden ausgezeichnet.
Penezić war Mitglied des Zentralkomitees des Bundes der Kommunisten Jugoslawiens und des Exekutivausschusses der Kommunistischen Partei Serbiens. Er war auch Vorsitzender des Exekutivrats des serbischen Parlaments.
Am 6. November 1964 kamen Slobodan Penezić und Svetolik Lazarevic () bei einem Autounfall ums Leben – das Auto kam auf nasser Fahrbahn von der Straße ab und prallte gegen einen Baum. Einige, insbesondere seine Frau, bezweifelten die offizielle Version des Todesfalls, aber sein Sohn ist der Ansicht, dass es heute unmöglich ist, Fakten zu finden, die diese Version widerlegen.
In einem Dokumentarfilm berichtet sein Landsmann, der serbisch-australische Schriftsteller B. Wongar (Sreten Božić), über seine Erfahrungen mit und über seine eigene damalige Naivität.

Johann Rudolf Wettstein
|
Johann Rudolf Wettstein (27 October 1594, Basel – 12 April 1666, Basel) was a Swiss diplomat and mayor of Basel, who achieved fame through his diplomatic skills, culminating in Swiss independence from the Holy Roman Empire in 1648.
Early life and education
Johann Rudolf Wettstein was born in October 1594 as the youngest of five sons, and attended the "Schule auf Burg," the present-day secondary school located at the Münsterplatz in Basel. At the Gymnasium, he was taught the basics in Latin and history and he graduated with fourteen years of age. Afterwards he concluded a chancellery apprenticeship in Yverdon and Geneva where he learned the French language which would be useful in later career as a diplomate. In 1611, as he was 17 years old, he married Anna Maria Falkner a noble woman from Basel. The Historical Lexicon of Switzerland records that Wettstein's marriage was not a happy one. With time he owed quite a sum to his wife's family and apparently for that reason he moved to Italy in 1616, where he served in the Venetian military.
Political career
In 1620, after his return to Basel, Wettstein was elected to the city council. His career in the public service progressed with increasingly responsible positions becoming the Vogt of Farnsburg from 1624 to 1626 and of Riehen from 1626 to 1635. In 1635 he became senior guild master in the city of Basel, and by June 1645 he was elected its Mayor, which he stayed for twenty-one years. In 1661 he supported the purchase of the extensive collections included in the Amerbach- Cabinet with public funds.
Swiss independence
Wettstein participated in the negotiations for the Peace of Westphalia in 1646/47 interested to gain juridical independence for the merchants of Basel from the Roman Empire. As Wettstein travelled by ship to Münster in 1646, he was not invited, much less was he in possession of an accreditation by the Swiss Confederacy. He was only provided with a mandate by the reformists. From the Swiss confederacy he received the official accreditation only in 1647 and after a long and skillful mediation, he achieved the official recognition of the Swiss independence from the Holy Roman Empire on the 24 October 1648 and Habsburg renunciation of all claims to Swiss government. In memory of this achievement Basel minted a coin and the merchants of Basel donated a trophy.
He had a second diplomatic journey accompanied by Sebastian Peregrin Zwyer in winter 1650/51, this time before Emperor Ferdinand III. Following the Frankfurter trade fair in October 1650, the German Court in Speyer, ordered the seizure of certain goods from the merchants in Basel and after some negotiations in Viennas Hofburg, the two achieved their liberation. Ferdinand ordered the goods restitution to the merchants of Basel, together with the payment of a fine of 100 Marks in Gold. In exchange Wettstein and Zwyer agreed to an Austrian demand, that Swiss soldiers wouldn't participate in battles which would expand the French territories.
Professional career
He earned some money with his political duties, but those were not enough to finance his family's household. At the time, it was normal that politicians earned their main income elsewhere mostly through commerce. Wettstein though appeared to have made several financial investments.
Later life, death and posthumous recognition
During the Peasants' War of 1653, Wettstein was responsible for the public execution of seven peasant leaders. Wettstein died in Basel in 1666. He was not buried in the Münster in Basel as his wife, but in the . He is generally acknowledged as one of the most competent Swiss politicians of his era, but also as a prominent exponent of the absolutist tendencies within the Swiss Confederacy.
Associated with Switzerland's independence, Wettstein's name first became prominent around 1750, and reached its zenith during World War II, when the country's sovereignty was challenged once more.
A bridge bearing his name was built across the Rhine in Basel in 1881. In addition, a memorial-fountain, a local square and a street beside the bridge, as well as a march of the Basler Carnaval were named after Wettstein.
Family
His parents Jakob Wettstein and Magdalena Betzler had migrated from Russikon in the Zurich region around 1580. His father worked in the Basel hospital, eventually becoming hospital supervisor. His father died shortly before he left Basel for Italy in 1616. In 1611 Johann Rudolf married Anna Maria Falkner. They were the parents of four sons and five daughters. Two daughters died early due to the plague. Their marriage was not a happy one as his wife's family was from the nobility of Basel while he came from a humble household and felt challenged to fulfill his wife's families demands. His wife died in 1647 while he was negotiating the Peace of Westphalia in Münster.

Johann Rudolf Wettstein (Politiker)
|
Johann Rudolf Wettstein (* 27. Oktober 1594 in Basel; † 12. April 1666 ebenda) war ein Schweizer Diplomat und Bürgermeister von Basel.
Leben
Wettstein war der Sohn eines aus Russikon im Zürcher Oberland zugewanderten Weinbauern, der im Spital als Kellermeister arbeitete und später zum Spitalmeister aufstieg. Von 1600 bis 1608 besuchte er die Schule auf Burg, das heutige Gymnasium am Münsterplatz. Danach machte er in Yverdon und Genf eine Kanzleilehre und heiratete 1611 die um fünf Jahre ältere Anna Maria Falkner. 1616 trat er vorübergehend in venezianische Dienste. Nach Basel zurückgekehrt, machte er Karriere in der Stadt und wurde 1620 in den Kleinen Rat gewählt. In den folgenden Jahren erlangte er weitere öffentliche Ämter. 1635 wurde er zum Oberstzunftmeister und 1645 zum Bürgermeister der Stadt Basel gewählt.
An den Verhandlungen zum Westfälischen Frieden in Münster und Osnabrück nahm Wettstein 1646 als Gesandter der reformierten Orte Zürich, Bern, Glarus, Basel, Schaffhausen, Appenzell Ausserrhoden sowie St. Gallen und Biel teil. Anlass dafür waren Eingriffe des Reichskammergerichts in die Rechtsprechung und Handelsfreiheit Basels und anderer eidgenössischer Orte. Anfangs 1647 erhielt er auch ein Beglaubigungsschreiben der ganzen Eidgenossenschaft. Nach langen Verhandlungen gaben die Vertreter des Kaisers, Frankreichs und Schwedens ihre Zusage zur Aufnahme eines Artikels über die Exemtion Basels und der Eidgenossenschaft vom Reich in den Friedensvertrag. Erst nach Wettsteins Heimreise wurden die Friedensverträge am 24. Oktober 1648 in Münster unterzeichnet. Damit wurde die Eidgenossenschaft vom Heiligen Römischen Reich Deutscher Nation losgelöst und die einzelnen Stände (Kantone) galten seitdem juristisch als souveräne, unabhängige Staaten.
Im Bauernkrieg von 1653 war Wettstein massgeblich dafür verantwortlich, dass die sieben Anführer in der Basler Landschaft öffentlich hingerichtet wurden.
Wettstein starb in seiner Heimatstadt im Jahre 1666. Er gilt als einer der fähigsten Politiker seiner Zeit, jedoch auch als ein wichtiger Exponent der absolutistischen Tendenzen innerhalb der Eidgenossenschaft.
Der Theologe und Bibliothekar Johann Rudolf Wettstein war sein Sohn, der Philologe und Theologe Johann Rudolf Wettstein sein Enkel.
Ehrende Namensgebungen
1879 wurde in Basel eine neue Brücke über den Rhein errichtet, die 1881 den Namen Wettsteinbrücke erhielt. Auf der Kleinbasler Seite dieser Brücke befindet sich heute der Wettsteinplatz, die Wettsteinstrasse, die Wettsteinallee und der Wettsteinbrunnen bei der Theodorskirche. Dieser Brunnen gestaltete Alexander Zschokke. Am nahegelegenen Claragraben befindet sich das Schulhaus Wettstein. Im historischen Wettsteinhaus in Riehen, seinem ehemaligen Wohnhaus, ist seit 1972 das Spielzeugmuseum, Dorf- und Rebbaumuseum eingerichtet. An der Fassade befindet sich eine Gedenktafel aus Bronze mit einem Reliefporträt Wettsteins. An der Basler Fasnacht spielt man den Wettsteinmarsch, der von Hermann Suter zum 400. Jubiläum der Zugehörigkeit Riehens zu Basel komponiert worden ist.
Auch in Riehen, Russikon und Zürich sind Strassen und in Rüti ZH ein Weg nach ihm benannt.

Johann Rudolf Wettstein (* October 27, 1594, in Basel; † April 12,, 1666, in the same place) was a Swiss diplomat and mayor of Basel.
Life
Wettstein was the son of a winegrower who had migrated from Russikon in the Zurich Oberland, working as a cellar master at the hospital and later rising to hospital master. From 1600 to 1608, he attended school at Burg, the present-day Gymnasium at Münsterplatz. Afterwards, he completed a clerkship in Yverdon and Geneva and married in 1611 Anna Maria Falkner, who was five years his senior. In 1616, he temporarily entered Venetian service. After returning to Basel, he advanced in the city and was elected to the Small Council in 1620. In the following years, he held further public offices. In 1635, he became master of the major guild, and in 1645, he was elected mayor of Basel.
In the negotiations for the Peace of Westphalia in Münster and Osnabrück, Wettstein participated in 1646 as an envoy of the Reformed cantons of Zurich, Bern, Glarus, Basel, Schaffhausen, Appenzell Ausserrhoden, as well as St. Gallen and Biel. The occasion was the interference of the Imperial Chamber Court in Basel's and other Swiss Confederation's judiciary and trade freedom. At the beginning of 1647, he received a letter of accreditation from the entire Swiss Confederation. After lengthy negotiations, the representatives of the Emperor, France, and Sweden agreed to include an article on Basel's and the Confederation's exemption from the Reich in the peace treaty. Only after Wettstein's return home were the peace treaties signed on October 24, 1648, in Münster. This detached the Swiss Confederation from the Holy Roman Empire of the German Nation, and the individual states (cantons) have since been considered legally sovereign, independent states.
In the Peasant War of 1653, Wettstein was largely responsible for the public execution of the seven leaders in the Basel region.
Wettstein died in his hometown in 1666. He is regarded as one of the most capable politicians of his time, but also as an important exponent of absolutist tendencies within the Swiss Confederation.
The theologian and librarian Johann Rudolf Wettstein was his son, the philologist and theologian Johann Rudolf Wettstein his grandson.
Honorable Namesakes
In 1879, a new bridge over the Rhine was built in Basel, which received the name Wettstein Bridge in 1881. On the Kleinbasel side of this bridge are today the Wettsteinplatz, Wettsteinstrasse, Wettsteinallee, and the Wettstein Fountain near the Theodorskirche. This fountain was designed by Alexander Zschokke. Near the Claragraben is the Wettstein Schoolhouse. In the historic Wettstein House in Riehen, his former residence, the Toy Museum, the Village and Vine Museum have been housed since 1972. A bronze commemorative plaque with a relief portrait of Wettstein is on the facade. During Basel Carnival, the Wettstein March is played, composed by Hermann Suter for the 400th anniversary of Riehen's affiliation with Basel.
In Riehen, Russikon, and Zurich, streets are named after him, and in Rüti ZH, a path bears his name.

Edmund Glaise-Horstenau
|
Edmund Glaise-Horstenau (also known as Edmund Glaise von Horstenau; 27 February 1882 – 20 July 1946) was an Austrian Nazi politician who became the last Vice-Chancellor of Austria, appointed by Chancellor Kurt Schuschnigg under pressure from Adolf Hitler, shortly before the 1938 Anschluss.
During the Second World War Glaise-Horstenau became a general in the German Wehrmacht and served as Plenipotentiary General to the Independent State of Croatia. Dismayed by the atrocities committed by the Ustaše, he was involved in the Lorković-Vokić plot, with the purpose of overthrowing Ante Pavelić's regime and replacing it with a pro-Allied government.
Early life and career
Born in Braunau am Inn, the son of an officer, Glaise-Horstenau attended the Theresian Military Academy and served in World War I on the Austro-Hungarian General Staff of the Austro-Hungarian Army. From 1915, he headed the press department of the Supreme Command of the Armed Forces.
After the war, he studied history at the University of Vienna, together with his employment at the Austrian War Archives (as director from 1925 to 1938). He also achieved the rank of a colonel at the Austrian Heeresnachrichtenamt in 1934.
Originally a monarchist, Glaise-Horstenau became the second man in the hierarchy of the banned Austrian Nazi Party in the mid-to-late 1930s behind its leader Josef Leopold. To improve relations with Nazi Germany, he was appointed a member of the Staatsrat of the Federal State of Austria from 1934 in the rank of a Minister Without Portfolio, and from 1936 to 1938, he served as Federal Minister of the Interior in the cabinet of Chancellor Kurt Schuschnigg, after being appointed under pressure from Adolf Hitler following the Juliabkommen. At the meeting at the Berghof in Berchtesgaden on 12 February 1938 between Hitler and Schuschnigg, Germany demanded that Glaise-Horstenau be made Minister of War in a new pro-Nazi government and that he would establish close operational relations between the German and Austrian Armies, which would ultimately lead to the assimilation of the Austrian to the German system.
After Schuschnigg had to resign on 11 March, Glaise-Horstenau served as Vice-Chancellor of Austria under Arthur Seyß-Inquart for two days.
In Croatia
After the Anschluss, he entered the Wehrmacht and was appointed as Plenipotentiary General in the Independent State of Croatia on 14 April 1941. There, he was shocked by the atrocities of the Ustaše (Croatian fascist paramilitaries), which he repeatedly denounced and opposed. As early as 28 June 1941, he reported the following to the German High Command, the Oberkommando der Wehrmacht (OKW):
On 10 July, he added:
The lack of response from the OKW at Glaise-Horstenau's criticism of the Ustaše's methods increasingly frustrated him and caused deep tension with Ante Pavelić, the poglavnik, or head, of the Independent State of Croatia. By 1944, he had grown so dismayed at the atrocities that he had witnessed that he became deeply implicated in the Lorković-Vokić plot to overthrow Pavelić's regime and to replace it with a pro-Allied government.
The subsequent failure of that attempt turned Glaise-Horstenau into persona non grata for both the Croatians and the Nazis. In the first week of September, Pavelić and German ambassador Siegfried Kasche conspired together and effected his removal on 25 September. Glaise-Horstenau's withdrawal from the scene opened the door for the total politicalization of the Croatian armed forces, which occurred over the next several months.
Suicide
Glaise-Horstenau was then passed into Führer-Reserve and entrusted with the obscure task of Military Historian of the South East until his capture by the US Army on 5 May 1945. Fearing extradition to Yugoslavia or Austria, he committed suicide at Langwasser military camp near Nuremberg, Germany, on 20 July 1946.

Edmund Glaise-Horstenau

Edmund Glaise von Horstenau, ab 1919 Edmund Glaise-Horstenau (* 27. Februar 1882 in Braunau am Inn; † 20. Juli 1946 im Lager Langwasser bei Nürnberg) war österreichischer Nationalsozialist, Militärhistoriker, Publizist, Vizekanzler im Kabinett Seyß-Inquart und General der Infanterie.
Leben bis zum Anschluss 1938
Edmunds Mutter Johanna stammte aus einer in Braunau eingesessenen Postmeister- und Gastwirtsfamilie; sein Vater Hugo war ein zeitweilig in Braunau garnisonierter Major a. D., der aus einer seit dem 18. Jahrhundert in Wien ansässigen, ursprünglich aus Frankreich stammenden Offiziersfamilie kam. Er wurde nach dem frühen Tod seines Vaters in einer Militärschule erzogen, und trat danach in die Theresianische Militärakademie in Wiener Neustadt ein. Ab 1903 Berufsoffizier, erfolgte seine Generalstabsausbildung auf der Kriegsschule. 1913 war er als Hauptmann d. G. dem österreichischen Kriegsarchiv dienstzugeteilt.
Während des Ersten Weltkrieges diente Glaise von Horstenau nach einer kurzen Frontverwendung als Generalstabsoffizier in Galizien ab 1915 im Referat für Presse und Politik im k.u.k. Armeeoberkommando (AOK). In dieser Funktion arbeitete er eng mit dem deutschen Militärbevollmächtigten beim österreichisch-ungarischen Generalstab August von Cramon, zusammen und dürfte diesem auch wichtige Informationen über die ohne Kenntnis des deutschen Bündnispartners geführten Separatfriedenssondierungen Kaiser Karls zugespielt haben. 1918 kehrte er an das Kriegsarchiv zurück, dessen Direktion er zwischen 1925 und 1938 innehatte.
1919 bis 1921 studierte Glaise an der Universität Wien, unter anderem bei Heinrich von Srbik. Seit 1924 war er österreichischer Hofrat. 1932 mit dem Ehrendoktorat der Universität München ausgezeichnet, erhielt er 1934 die Venia legendi an der Universität Wien für neuere Kriegs- und Heeresgeschichte.
Glaise-Horstenau war zudem Mitarbeiter im Nachrichtendienst des österreichischen Bundesheeres, wo er 1934 zum Oberst in der Evidenz ernannt wurde. In dieser Zeit trat er über den Nachrichtenoffizier Wilhelm Ergert mit dem deutschen Militärattaché Wolfgang Muff, der einen regen Kontakt zum österreichischen Nachrichtendienst pflegte, in Kontakt, um sich für einen Anschluss Österreichs an Deutschland einzusetzen.
Vom Monarchismus, einer starken emotionalen Anteilnahme am Kampf der Südtiroler gegen die Italienisierung, einer romantischen Reichsideologie und einem Glauben an unverrückbare Determinanten einer Geopolitik entwickelte er sich zu einem „betont Nationalen“ der 1930er Jahre. Politischer Ehrgeiz und persönliche Eitelkeit motivierten den Publizisten Glaise, der durch populäre militärhistorische und militärpolitische Vortrags- und Publikationstätigkeit einen gewissen Bekanntheitsgrad in der Öffentlichkeit Österreichs und Deutschlands hatte, dazu, sich ab 1934 Kurt Schuschnigg als potenziellen Verbindungsmann zu den deutschnationalen oppositionellen Kreisen anzubieten.
Seit 1934 Mitglied im Staatsrat und im Bundestag des österreichischen autoritären Ständestaats, machte ihn Schuschnigg am 11. Juli 1936 zum Bundesminister ohne Portefeuille, der im Rahmen der „inneren Befriedigung“ als Flügelmann der Regierung zu den deutschnationalen oppositionellen Kreisen, d. h. den Nationalsozialisten, dienen sollte. Glaise spielte als Mittelsmann zwischen Schuschnigg und Adolf Hitler neben Franz von Papen eine Rolle beim Zustandekommen des österreichisch-deutschen Abkommens vom 11. Juli 1936 (Juliabkommen).
Der Anschluss Österreichs und der Nationalsozialismus
Als Schuschnigg für den 13. März 1938 eine Volksbefragung ansetzte, um die Invasion der Deutschen abzuwenden, zwangen Glaise-Horstenau und Seyß-Inquart den Bundeskanzler am 11. März nach telefonischer Abstimmung mit Göring zum Rücktritt. Im kurzlebigen Übergangskabinett (11./12./13. März 1938) des Nationalsozialisten Arthur Seyß-Inquart wurde Glaise-Horstenau zum Vizekanzler ernannt. Nach der Besetzung Österreichs durch deutsche Truppen und dem „Anschlussgesetz“ wurde Glaise-Horstenau am 15. März 1938 Angehöriger der von Adolf Hitler eingesetzten österreichischen Landesregierung mit der Dienstbezeichnung „Deutscher Staatsminister“ unter Reichsstatthalter Seyß-Inquart. Gleichzeitig wurde er Mitglied des Großdeutschen Reichstages sowie Mitglied der SA, in der er 1943 zum Gruppenführer ernannt wurde. Am 28. Juni 1938 beantragte er die Aufnahme in die NSDAP und wurde rückwirkend zum 1. Mai desselben Jahres aufgenommen (Mitgliedsnummer 6.255.681).
1939 wurde Glaise-Horstenau in den Beirat der antisemitisch ausgerichteten Forschungsabteilung Judenfrage im Reichsinstitut für Geschichte in München berufen.
Nach Kriegsbeginn wurde Glaise-Horstenau im November als „General z. b. V.“ (zur besonderen Verwendung) beim OKW einberufen und zunächst als Inspekteur der Kriegsgräberfürsorge abgeschoben. Daher konnte er ab 1940 als Honorarprofessor für Heeres- und Truppengeschichte an der Universität Wien wirken.
Von April 1941 bis September 1944 war er als „Deutscher Bevollmächtigter General in Kroatien“ Vertreter der Wehrmacht beim Ustaša-Regime in Agram. Als Militärattaché und territorialbefehlshabender General, verantwortlich für den Einsatz der deutschen Truppen zeigte er beachtenswerten Mut und Geschick bei zahlreichen Versuchen, die von allen Seiten im Kampf verübten Gräueltaten einzudämmen oder zumindest zu mildern – so geschehen z. B. bei den Verbrechen der Ustaša im KZ Jasenovac. Dabei geriet er in zunehmende Spannung zum Bündnispartner Italien und zum Ustaša-Regime und wurde unter anderem auf persönliche Intervention des kroatischen Diktators Pavelić im Herbst abberufen.
Nach seinem Sturz erlebte Glaise den Zusammenbruch des NS-Staats in Wien und Salzburg. Vom Februar bis April 1945 stand er im Zusammenhang mit Versuchen, für Österreich mit den Westmächten einen besonderen Waffenstillstand, ähnlich dem für den italienischen Raum, abzuschließen.
Im Jahre 1943 bat Glaise-Horstenau bei Hitler um Hilfe bei einem finanziellen Engpass. In längeren Verhandlungen zwischen dem Reichsfinanzministerium und dem Leiter der Reichskanzlei Hans Heinrich Lammers wurde eine Schenkung an Glaise-Horstenau ventiliert, damit er die Hypotheken für sein Haus weiter zahlen könne. Als das Finanzministerium die Schenkung ablehnte, entschied Hitler im Januar 1944, Glaise-Horstenau eine Schenkung von 100.000 Reichsmark zukommen zu lassen.
Lebensende
In den Nürnberger Prozessen trat Glaise-Horstenau als Zeuge auf. Aus Furcht, in Österreich wegen seiner Rolle bei der deutschen Annexion Österreichs hart bestraft zu werden, beging er in der Haftanstalt Lager Nürnberg-Langwasser am 20. Juli 1946 Suizid.
In seiner Zeit als Militärdiplomat in Agram hatte er die Niederschrift seiner Autobiographie begonnen, die er während der Haft 1945/46 bis kurz vor seinem Tod fortsetzte. Seine umfangreichen Erinnerungen bieten ein Porträt der österreichischen Eliten in den letzten Jahren der österreichisch-ungarischen Monarchie und der Zwischenkriegszeit. Sie wurden vom österreichischen Staatsarchivar Peter Broucek gesammelt, editiert und zwischen 1980 und 1988 herausgegeben.

Edmund Glaise von Horstenau, from 1919 Edmund Glaise-Horstenau (* February 27, 1882, in Braunau am Inn; † July 20, 1946, in the Langwasser camp near Nuremberg) was an Austrian National Socialist, military historian, publicist, Vice-Chancellor in the Seyß-Inquart cabinet, and Infantry General.
Life until the Anschluss in 1938
Edmund's mother Johanna came from a family of postmasters and innkeepers established in Braunau; his father Hugo was a Major a.D. who was temporarily garrisoned in Braunau, and came from an officer family that had been based in Vienna since the 18th century, originally from France. After the early death of his father, he was raised in a military school and then entered the Theresian Military Academy in Wiener Neustadt. From 1903, he was a professional officer, receiving his general staff training at the war school. In 1913, he was assigned to the Austrian War Archives as a captain.
During the First World War, Glaise von Horstenau served, after a brief front-line deployment, as a general staff officer in Galicia from 1915 in the press and politics department at the Austro-Hungarian Army High Command (AOK). In this role, he worked closely with the German military representative at the Austro-Hungarian General Staff, August von Cramon, and likely provided him with important information about the separate peace negotiations conducted by Emperor Karl without the knowledge of the German alliance partner. In 1918, he returned to the War Archives, where he served as director from 1925 to 1938.
From 1919 to 1921, Glaise studied at the University of Vienna, among others with Heinrich von Srbik. Since 1924, he had been an Austrian court councilor. In 1932, he was awarded an honorary doctorate from the University of Munich, and in 1934, he received the Venia legendi at the University of Vienna for modern military and army history.
Glaise-Horstenau was also a staff member in the intelligence service of the Austrian Federal Army, where he was promoted to colonel in 1934. During this time, he came into contact with the German military attaché Wolfgang Muff through the intelligence officer Wilhelm Ergert, who maintained active contact with the Austrian intelligence service, to advocate for Austria's Anschluss with Germany.
From monarchism, a strong emotional involvement in the fight of the South Tyroleans against Italianization, a romantic imperial ideology, and a belief in unchangeable determinants of geopolitics, he developed into a "pronounced Nationalist" of the 1930s. Political ambition and personal vanity motivated the publicist Glaise, who gained some notoriety in Austria and Germany through popular military-historical and military-political lectures and publications, to offer himself as a potential link to the German national opposition circles from 1934, especially Kurt Schuschnigg.
Since 1934, a member of the State Council and the Federal Assembly of Austria's authoritarian Ständestaat, Schuschnigg appointed him on July 11, 1936, as Federal Minister without Portfolio, who was to serve as a wingman of the government within the framework of "internal satisfaction" and to serve the German nationalist opposition circles, i.e., the National Socialists. Glaise played a role as an intermediary between Schuschnigg and Adolf Hitler, alongside Franz von Papen, in the negotiations leading to the Austrian-German agreement of July 11, 1936 (July Pact).
The Anschluss of Austria and National Socialism
When Schuschnigg scheduled a referendum for March 13, 1938, to prevent the invasion by Germans, Glaise-Horstenau and Seyß-Inquart forced the Chancellor to resign on March 11 after a telephone consultation with Göring. In the short-lived transitional cabinet (March 11–13, 1938) of the National Socialist Arthur Seyß-Inquart, Glaise-Horstenau was appointed Vice-Chancellor. After the occupation of Austria by German troops and the "Anschluss Law," Glaise-Horstenau became a member of the Austrian government appointed by Adolf Hitler on March 15, 1938, with the title "German State Minister" under Reich Governor Seyß-Inquart. At the same time, he became a member of the Greater German Reichstag and joined the SA, where he was promoted to Group Leader in 1943. On June 28, 1938, he applied for membership in the NSDAP and was retrospectively admitted from May 1 of the same year (membership number 6,255,681).
In 1939, Glaise-Horstenau was appointed to the advisory board of the antisemitic research department "Judenfrage" at the Reich Institute for History in Munich.
After the start of the war, Glaise-Horstenau was convened in November as a "General z. b. V." (for special use) at the OKW and initially assigned as an inspector of war graves care. Therefore, from 1940, he was able to work as an honorary professor for army and troop history at the University of Vienna.
From April 1941 to September 1944, he served as the "German Plenipotentiary General in Croatia," representing the Wehrmacht to the Ustaša regime in Agram. As a military attaché and territorial commanding general responsible for the deployment of German troops, he showed remarkable courage and skill in numerous attempts to curb or at least mitigate the atrocities committed in the fighting—such as those by the Ustaša in the Jasenovac concentration camp. He increasingly clashed with the alliance partner Italy and the Ustaša regime and was, among other reasons, dismissed in the fall after personal intervention by Croatian dictator Pavelić.
After his downfall, Glaise experienced the collapse of the Nazi state in Vienna and Salzburg. From February to April 1945, he was involved in attempts to negotiate a special armistice for Austria with the Western Allies, similar to that for Italy.
In 1943, Glaise-Horstenau asked Hitler for help during a financial hardship. In extended negotiations between the Reich Ministry of Finance and the head of the Reich Chancellery, Hans Heinrich Lammers, a donation to Glaise-Horstenau was discussed so he could continue paying the mortgages on his house. When the Finance Ministry refused the donation, Hitler decided in January 1944 to give Glaise-Horstenau a gift of 100,000 Reichsmarks.
End of life
Glaise-Horstenau appeared as a witness at the Nuremberg Trials. Fearing severe punishment in Austria for his role in the German annexation of Austria, he committed suicide on July 20, 1946, in the prison facility Lager Nürnberg-Langwasser.
During his time as a military diplomat in Agram, he began writing his autobiography, which he continued during his imprisonment in 1945/46 until shortly before his death. His extensive memoirs offer a portrait of the Austrian elites in the final years of the Austro-Hungarian monarchy and the interwar period. They were collected, edited, and published between 1980 and 1988 by the Austrian State Archivist Peter Broucek.

Eliodoro Camacho

Eliodoro Camacho (1831–1899) was a noted Bolivian politician, party leader, and presidential candidate. The Eliodoro Camacho Province is named after him. Camacho was born in Inquisivi, Department of La Paz, but grew up in Cochabamba. He founded the Liberal Party, which espoused freedom of religion, a stricter separation between church and state, legal acceptance of civil marriages and divorce, and strict adherence to democratic procedures. Camacho also participated as an officer in the 1879-80 War of the Pacific against Chile, and later played a key role in the 1880 Constitutional Convention. Following the establishment of the new post-war order (which he himself authored, along with Conservative Party leader Aniceto Arce), he led the opposition against the Conservatives. He ran for president in 1884, 1888, and 1892.
Following three consecutive electoral defeats (ameliorated somewhat by the knowledge that they almost certainly were the result of various degrees of fraud), Camacho resigned the leadership of the Liberal Party in 1894 to José Manuel Pando. Under Pando, the Liberals would go on to gain power in 1899 and dominate Bolivian politics until 1920, as well as to remain one of the most important parties in the country until nearly the mid 20th century. He died in 1899.

Eliodoro Camacho (* 1831 in Inquisivi; † 1899 in La Paz) war ein bolivianischer Politiker gegen Ende des 19. Jahrhunderts. Die Provinz Eliodoro Camacho im Departamento La Paz trägt ihm zu Ehren heute seinen Namen.
Camacho stammte zwar aus dem Departamento La Paz, wuchs jedoch in Cochabamba auf. Er gründete die Liberale Partei Boliviens (Partido Liberal), die für Religionsfreiheit eintrat, eine strengere Trennung von Staat und Kirche, staatliche Anerkennung von Zivilehe und Scheidung, und eine strikte Einhaltung demokratischer Strukturen.
In den Jahren 1879 bis 1880 nahm er als Offizier der Armee am Salpeterkrieg gegen Chile teil und spielte später eine zentrale Rolle im Verfassungsabkommen von 1880, in dem er zusammen mit dem Führer der Konservativen Partei (Partido Constitucional), Aniceto Arce, den Grundstein für die innerstaatliche Ordnung nach dem verlorenen Krieg legte.
In den Jahren 1884, 1888 und 1892 trat er als Präsidentschaftskandidat gegen die regierende Konservative Partei an, verlor jedoch an allen drei Wahlterminen. Überzeugt, dass Wahlbetrug der Grund für seine Niederlagen war, übergab er im Jahr 1894 die Führung der Liberalen Partei an José Manuel Pando, der 1899 zum Staatspräsidenten gewählt wurde.
Camacho starb im gleichen Jahr 1899 im Alter von 68 Jahren.

Although Camacho came from the La Paz Department, he grew up in Cochabamba. He founded the Bolivian Liberal Party (Partido Liberal), which advocated for religious freedom, a stricter separation of church and state, legal recognition of civil marriage and divorce, and strict adherence to democratic structures.
From 1879 to 1880, he participated as an army officer in the Saltpeter War against Chile and later played a central role in the 1880 constitutional agreement, in which, together with the leader of the Conservative Party (Partido Constitucional), Aniceto Arce, he laid the foundation for internal order in the country after the lost war.
In 1884, 1888, and 1892, he ran as a presidential candidate against the ruling Conservative Party but lost in all three elections. Convinced that electoral fraud was the reason for his defeats, he handed over the leadership of the Liberal Party to José Manuel Pando in 1894, who was elected president in 1899.
Camacho died in the same year, 1899, at the age of 68.

Peter I of Bulgaria
|
Peter I (; ) (died 30 January 970) was emperor (tsar) of Bulgaria from 27 May 927 to 969. Facing the Bogomil heresy and rebellions by his brothers and also by Časlav Klonimirović early on in his reign, Peter secured more success later in life; he ensured the retreat of the invading Rus by inciting Bulgaria's allies, the Pechenegs, to attack Kiev itself. Traditionally seen as a weak ruler who lost land and prestige, recent scholarship challenges this view, emphasizing the empire's affluence and internal peace. Considered a good ruler during the Middle Ages, his name was adopted by later leaders trying to restore Bulgarian independence under Byzantine rule to emphasize legitimacy and continuity.
Early reign
Peter I was the son of Simeon I of Bulgaria by his second marriage to the sister of George Sursuvul. Peter had been born early in the 10th century, but it appears that his maternal uncle was very influential at the beginning of his reign. In 913 Peter may have visited the imperial palace at Constantinople together with his older brother Michael. For unspecified reasons, Simeon had forced Michael to become a monk and had named Peter as his successor.
To prove himself a worthy successor to his father both at home and in the eyes of foreign governments, Peter began his reign with a military offensive into Byzantine Thrace in 927 which was the last campaign of the Byzantine–Bulgarian war of 913–927. Nevertheless, he followed up his quick successes by secretly negotiating a peace treaty before the Byzantine government had a chance to retaliate. The Byzantine Emperor Romanos I Lakapenos eagerly accepted the proposal for peace and arranged for a diplomatic marriage between his granddaughter Maria and the Bulgarian monarch. In October 927 Peter arrived near Constantinople to meet Romanos and signed the peace treaty, marrying Maria on 8 November in the church of the Zoödochos Pege. To signify the new era in Bulgaro-Byzantine relations, the princess was renamed Eirene ("peace"). The extensive Preslav Treasure is thought to represent part of the dowry of the princess. The treaty of 927 actually represents the fruit of Simeon's military successes and diplomatic initiatives, ably continued by his son's government. Peace was obtained with the frontiers restored to those defined in treaties of 897 and 904. The Byzantines recognised the Bulgarian monarch's title of emperor (basileus, tsar) and the autocephalus status of the Bulgarian patriarchate, while the payment of an annual tribute to Bulgaria by the Byzantine Empire was renewed.
Revolts and incursions
The initial successes of Peter's reign were followed by several minor setbacks. Around 930, Peter faced a revolt led by his younger brother Ivan, who was defeated and sent into exile in Byzantium. Soon afterwards Peter's older brother Michael escaped from his monastery and led a more formidable rebellion, which terminated with his early death. The youngest brother, Benjamin (also called Bojan), was accused of being a werewolf and magician by the Italian Bishop Liutprand of Cremona, but he apparently posed no threat to Peter's authority.
Perhaps taking advantage of these challenges to Peter's rule, the Prince of Serbia Časlav Klonimirović escaped the Bulgarian capital Preslav in 933 and, with tacit Byzantine support, managed to raise a Serbian revolt against Bulgarian rule. The revolt succeeded and Serbia recovered its independence. Peter may have had to also face the incursions of the Magyars, who had been defeated and forced into Pannonia by his father in 896. Perhaps after an initial defeat, Peter came to terms with the enemy and now used Magyar groups as his allies against Serbia. Various Magyar clans and chieftains appear to have begun to settle in what was still Bulgarian territory north of the Danube, where they may have become Bulgarian federates, enjoying independence from the Árpád dynasty. This arrangement paved the way for the eventual loss of the region to the Magyars, although that happened over the half-century following Peter's death. Peter apparently allowed these groups to cross Bulgaria and raid Byzantine territories in Thrace and Macedonia, perhaps as an underhanded reaction against Byzantine support for the Serbian rebellion.
Domestic rule
Peter I presided over a long and relatively peaceful reign, albeit one poorly illuminated by foreign or native sources. In spite of the challenges he encountered soon after his accession and the critical situation at the very end of his life, Peter's Bulgaria appears to have been prosperous and increasingly well organized, with an administrative apparatus noted by foreign travelers and confirmed by the numerous finds of imperial seals. Peter was particularly generous towards the Church, which he endowed lavishly throughout his reign. The emperor's generosity reached such an extent that it was seen as a corrupting factor by even Orthodox clerics, like Cosmas Presbyter. Others chose a path away from the temptations of the secular world, most notably Saint Ivan of Rila, but their ascetic existence still drew the attention of the monarch. Luxury and social tensions may have contributed to the spread of the Bogomil heresy, which Peter duly undertook to combat, soliciting the advice of famous hermits and even his uncle-in-law, Patriarch Theophylact of Constantinople.
Conflict with Byzantium and Rus
Relations with the Byzantine Empire worsened after the death of Peter's wife in the mid-960s. Victorious over the Arabs, Emperor Nikephoros II Phokas refused to pay the annual tribute to Bulgaria in 966, complaining of the Bulgarian alliance with the Magyars, and he undertook a show of force at the Bulgarian border. Dissuaded from a direct attack against Bulgaria, Nikephoros II dispatched a messenger to the Rus prince Sviatoslav Igorevich to arrange a Rus attack against Bulgaria from the north.
Sviatoslav readily launched a campaign with a vast force of 60,000 troops, routed the Bulgarians on the Danube, and defeated them in a battle near Silistra, seizing some 80 Bulgarian fortresses in 968. Stunned by the success of his ally and suspicious of his actual intentions, Emperor Nikephoros II hastened to make peace with Bulgaria and arranged the marriage of his wards, the underage emperors Basil II and Constantine VIII, to two Bulgarian princesses. Two of Peter's sons were sent to Constantinople as both negotiators and honorary hostages. In the meantime Peter managed to secure the retreat of the Rus forces by inciting Bulgaria's traditional allies, the Pechenegs, to attack Kiev itself.
In spite of this temporary success and the reconciliation with Byzantium, Bulgaria faced a new invasion by Sviatoslav in 969. The Bulgarians were defeated again, and Peter suffered a stroke, which led him to abdicate and become a monk. He died on 30 January 970.
Reputation
Compared with the military success of his father's reign, Peter has been traditionally considered a weak ruler, who lost lands and prestige, allowed his military forces to decline while his country was ravaged by foreign invaders, and turned Bulgaria into a Byzantine satellite governed by Byzantine agents in the persons of his empress and her retinue. This view has been questioned by more recent scholarship, which emphasizes the affluence and internal peace enjoyed by Bulgarian society during his long reign, re-evaluates the relationship between Bulgaria and its semi-nomadic neighbors (Magyars and Pechenegs), and questions the allegedly sinister role of Romanos' granddaughter and her retinue. While Peter's reign witnessed the spread of the Bogomil heresy, its origins were more demographic (perhaps inspired by Paulicians settled earlier by Byzantine emperors in Thrace) than social, and the Bulgarian Orthodox Church canonized him as a saint. Peter was considered a good ruler in the Middle Ages, and when Bulgaria fell under Byzantine rule (1018–1185), later leaders that attempted to restore Bulgarian independence adopted his name to emphasize legitimacy and continuity (both Peter Delyan and Constantine Bodin adopted the royal name of Peter in their attempts to regain the throne from the Byzantines).
Family
By his marriage to Maria Lakapena (renamed Eirene), Peter I had several children, including:
Plenimir
Boris II, who succeeded as emperor of Bulgaria in 969
Roman, who succeeded as emperor of Bulgaria in 977

Peter I. (Bulgarien)
|
Peter I. auch Petar I. () (unsicher: * 895; † 29. Januar 969) war Zar von Bulgarien im 10. Jahrhundert. Er war der zweite Sohn von Zar Simeon dem Großen und dessen Frau Miriam.
Zar Petar I. wurde mit Maria-Irene von Byzanz verheiratet, der Enkelin des byzantinischen Mitkaisers Romanos I. Lakapenos. Peter regierte 40 Jahre lang und starb am 29. Januar 969. Der gemeinsame Sohn Boris II. folgte ihm auf den Thron. Obwohl Peter I. häufig als kränklich und schwach charakterisiert wird, regierte der Zar länger als jeder andere bulgarische Herrscher des Mittelalters.
Leben
Das genaue Geburtsjahr von Peter ist unbekannt; um das Jahr 913 war er jedoch schon ein erwachsener junger Mann. Warum er, und nicht sein älterer Bruder Michail, dem Vater auf den Thron folgte, ist nicht geklärt; es könnte dem Einfluss des Boljaren Georgi Sursuvul zuzuschreiben sein, der die Vormundschaft für die beiden Söhne hatte. Dieser könnte Peter bevorzugt haben, weil er sein Neffe war und weil Bulgarien Frieden brauchte, und die Charakterzüge Peters versprachen dies eher als die seines Bruders.
Als Simeon der Große starb, war Bulgarien in einer schwierigen Lage. Die vielen erfolgreichen Feldzüge hatten zu einer Verknappung der Arbeitskräfte in der Landwirtschaft geführt, da die Armee ihre Soldaten aus der Bauernschaft rekrutierte. Daneben wurde das Land gerade von einer Hungersnot heimgesucht und es herrschten Heuschreckenplagen. Die Steuern waren hoch und die Nachbarstaaten drohten, Bulgarien zu erobern.
Um Stärke zu demonstrieren, drang Peter I. im Sommer 927 mit einem Heer nach Byzanz vor und legte einige Städte Thrakiens in Trümmer. Danach begann er geheime Friedensverhandlungen mit Mitkaiser Romanos I. Lakapenos von Byzanz. Der Frieden wurde in Mesembria im Beisein der bulgarischen und byzantinischen Aristokratie geschlossen; am 8. November 927 heiratete Peter die Tochter des byzantinischen Thronfolgers Christophoros Lakapenos. Bulgarien bekam nach diesem Vertrag Gebiete zurück, die von Byzanz erobert worden waren und Byzanz musste den Zarentitel für die bulgarischen Herrscher anerkennen, womit sie die bulgarischen Herrscher auf die gleiche Stufe wie die eigenen stellten. Zusätzlich wurde die Unabhängigkeit der bulgarischen Kirche anerkannt. Somit erzielte die Diplomatie Bulgariens einige große Erfolge im Verhältnis zu Byzanz; Zar Peter I. erlangte ein enormes politisches Ansehen, obwohl sein Vater Simeon der Große den militärischen Grundstein für die Durchsetzung dieser Ziele gelegt hatte.
Diesen außenpolitischen Erfolgen standen innenpolitische Schwierigkeiten gegenüber: Peter gelang es nie, innerhalb seiner Familie Ordnung zu schaffen. Simeon hatte den ältesten Sohn in ein Kloster geschickt und den zweitgeborenen zum Zar gemacht. Zuerst rebellierte der jüngere Bruder Iwan gegen den Zaren und mit ihm viele bulgarische Adlige. Der Aufstand misslang jedoch und die Aufständischen wurden eingekerkert. Kurz darauf floh der ältere Bruder Michail aus dem Kloster und nahm eine Festung in Mazedonien ein. Dort starb er aber recht bald und seine Anhänger sahen sich gezwungen, Bulgarien zu verlassen.
Im Jahre 931 brachen an der Westgrenze Bulgariens Serbenaufstände aus, in deren Folge Peter I. den unabhängigen serbischen Staat anerkennen musste. Aus dem Norden bedrohten derweil die Magyaren die bulgarischen Territorien. Sie hatten sich nach der Niederlage gegen Simeon den Großen zurückgehalten. Ab 934 griffen sie jedoch massiv an. Da die Truppen Bulgariens die Magyaren nicht aufhalten konnten, drangen diese häufig bis ins byzantinische Thrakien vor.
Die Beziehungen zu Byzanz verschlechterten sich indes, besonders nach dem Tod Zarin Marias, der Frau von Peter. 963 sandte Byzanz ein Ultimatum an Peter, worin gefordert wurde, seine Söhne als Geiseln nach Konstantinopel zu senden und die Magyaren nicht auf byzantinisches Gebiet vorzulassen. In dieser Bedrohung schloss Peter 965 einen Friedensvertrag mit den Magyaren, laut welchem die Magyaren einen Zugang nach Byzanz bekamen und Bulgarien Byzanz nicht beistehen würde. Als dann 966 bulgarische Boten in Konstantinopel Tribut einfordern wollten, wurden sie von Mitkaiser Nikephoros II. Phokas gefangen genommen und schließlich mit einer Kriegserklärung zurückgeschickt. Ein folgendes Friedensangebot mit der Auflage, den Magyaren den Krieg zu erklären, lehnte Zar Peter I. ab.
Der byzantinische Mitkaiser brachte den Fürsten von Kiew, Swjatoslaw, dazu, Bulgarien anzugreifen. Im Jahr 968 landeten etwa 60.000 Russen auf der bulgarischen Seite der Donau. Sie nahmen etwa 80 Festungen ein und schlugen das bulgarische Heer vernichtend. Wahrscheinlich unter Einfluss der bulgarischen Diplomatie fielen die Petschenegen in russisches Gebiet ein und belagerten die Hauptstadt Kiew. Als ein Jahr später die Russen erneut angriffen, erlitt Peter I. unter dem Eindruck der Niederlage seiner Streitkräfte einen Schlaganfall und verstarb ein Jahr später, nachdem er noch schnell in ein Kloster eingetreten war.
Nicht lang nach seinem Tod wurde Peter von der orthodoxen Kirche kanonisiert.
Obwohl in der Regierungszeit von Zar Peter I. fast immer Frieden herrschte, wurde das Leben für die einfachen Menschen immer schwerer, wohingegen der Klerus immer mehr Reichtum ansammelte. In diese Zeit fiel daher auch die Entstehung der Bogomilenbewegung, die dem Protest der einfachen Bevölkerung gegen die Unterdrückung durch die Feudalmacht Ausdruck verlieh. Inhalt der Predigten der Bogumilen war Kritik an der bestehenden Machtordnung, insbesondere der Kirche; sie riefen dazu auf, nicht den Bojaren, dem Zaren oder dem Heer zu dienen, weil diese die Werke des Teufels seien.
Auf dem Thron folgte ihn sein Sohn Boris II.

Peter I, also Petar I. () (uncertain: born around 895; died January 29, 969), was Tsar of Bulgaria in the 10th century. He was the second son of Tsar Simeon the Great and his wife Miriam.
Tsar Peter I. was married to Maria-Irene of Byzantium, granddaughter of the Byzantine co-emperor Romanos I Lakapenos. Peter reigned for 40 years and died on January 29, 969. His common son Boris II. succeeded him on the throne. Although Peter I. is often characterized as frail and weak, the tsar reigned longer than any other Bulgarian ruler of the Middle Ages.
Life
The exact year of Peter’s birth is unknown; however, by around 913 he was already an adult young man. Why he, and not his older brother Mikhail, succeeded their father is unclear; it could be attributed to the influence of the Bolyar Georgi Sursuvul, who was guardian to both sons. He might have preferred Peter because he was his nephew and because Bulgaria needed peace, and Peter’s character traits promised this more than those of his brother.
When Simeon the Great died, Bulgaria was in a difficult situation. Many successful military campaigns had led to a shortage of labor in agriculture, as the army recruited soldiers from the peasantry. Additionally, the country was suffering from a famine and locust plagues. Taxes were high, and neighboring states threatened to conquer Bulgaria.
To demonstrate strength, Peter I. advanced with an army into Byzantium in the summer of 927 and destroyed several cities in Thrace. Afterwards, he began secret peace negotiations with co-emperor Romanos I Lakapenos of Byzantium. The peace was concluded in Mesembria in the presence of Bulgarian and Byzantine aristocracy; on November 8, 927, Peter married the daughter of Byzantine heir Christophoros Lakapenos. Bulgaria regained territories that had been conquered by Byzantium, and Byzantium had to recognize the title of Tsar for the Bulgarian rulers, placing them on the same level as their own. Additionally, the independence of the Bulgarian church was recognized. Thus, Bulgaria’s diplomacy achieved significant successes in its relations with Byzantium; Tsar Peter I. gained enormous political prestige, although his father Simeon the Great had laid the military groundwork for these achievements.
These foreign policy successes were contrasted by internal difficulties: Peter never managed to establish order within his family. Simeon had sent his eldest son to a monastery and made the second-born Tsar. Initially, the younger brother Ivan rebelled against the Tsar, along with many Bulgarian nobles. The uprising failed, and the insurgents were imprisoned. Shortly thereafter, the elder brother Mikhail fled from the monastery and took a fortress in Macedonia. However, he died there quite soon, and his followers were forced to leave Bulgaria.
In 931, Serbian uprisings broke out on Bulgaria’s western border, forcing Peter I. to recognize the independent Serbian state. Meanwhile, the Magyars threatened Bulgarian territories from the north. After their defeat against Simeon the Great, they had held back. But from 934 onward, they launched massive attacks. Since Bulgaria’s troops could not stop the Magyars, they often advanced into Byzantine Thrace.
Relations with Byzantium deteriorated, especially after the death of Tsarina Maria, Peter’s wife. In 963, Byzantium issued an ultimatum to Peter demanding that he send his sons as hostages to Constantinople and prevent the Magyars from entering Byzantine territory. Under this threat, Peter signed a peace treaty with the Magyars in 965, granting them access to Byzantium and Bulgaria promising not to assist Byzantium. When Bulgarian envoys later demanded tribute in Constantinople in 966, they were captured by co-emperor Nikephoros II Phokas and eventually sent back with a declaration of war. A subsequent peace offer, conditioned on declaring war on the Magyars, was rejected by Tsar Peter I.
The Byzantine co-emperor incited the prince of Kiev, Sviatoslav, to attack Bulgaria. In 968, about 60,000 Russians landed on the Bulgarian side of the Danube. They captured around 80 fortresses and decisively defeated the Bulgarian army. Likely influenced by Bulgarian diplomacy, the Pechenegs invaded Russian territory and besieged the capital Kiev. When the Russians attacked again a year later, Peter I. suffered a stroke under the impression of his forces’ defeat and died a year later, after quickly entering a monastery.
Not long after his death, Peter was canonized by the Orthodox Church.
Although during Tsar Peter I.’s reign peace was almost always maintained, life for ordinary people became increasingly difficult, while the clergy accumulated more and more wealth. This period also saw the rise of the Bogomil movement, which expressed the protest of the common people against the oppression by feudal power. The sermons of the Bogomils criticized the existing power order, especially the church; they called for not serving the boyars, the Tsar, or the army, because they were works of the devil.
He was succeeded on the throne by his son Boris II.

Michele Padovano (; born 28 August 1966) is an Italian former footballer who played as a striker.
Career
Padovano began his professional career at Asti T.S.C. in Serie C2, before short spells at Cosenza, Pisa, Napoli and Genoa. He then signed for Reggiana; his performances there caught the eye of Juventus manager Marcello Lippi, who signed him in the summer of 1995. With Juventus, he won the UEFA Champions League in 1996, in addition to other domestic and international titles, scoring a goal in the quarter-finals against Real Madrid, as well as a penalty during the shoot-out in the final against Ajax.
During his time with Juventus, Padovano was given his only cap for Italy by manager Cesare Maldini, who played him during the 3–0 home win over Moldova, on 29 March 1997. He came on after 68 minutes, replacing fellow debutant Christian Vieri.
Padovano was eventually placed in the reserves at Juventus. After a severe knee injury, Juventus sold him to Crystal Palace in November 1997 for £1.7 million. However Padovano struggled to adapt to the Premiership, hampered by injury and poor form. He scored just once against Leicester City in twelve appearances for the club. After falling out of favour at the south London club he was sold to Metz but failed to make an impression as once again he was injured and unable to play for some months. Metz were in financial difficulties and he later returned to Palace (who was then in receivership) in the 1999–2000 season to make a million-pound claim against the club's directors for lost wages.
Padovano finished his career with Como before retiring in 2001.
Style of play
A fast and well–rounded forward, Padovano was known for his pace, heading, and acrobatic ability in the air, as well as his physical strength, despite his modest stature and build. He possessed an accurate and powerful shot with his left foot, and was known for his ability to strike the ball quickly; moreover, he was also an accurate penalty taker. Known for his tactical intelligence, intuition, and versatility, he was a useful player for his managers, who was known for his ability to start attacking plays with long balls or to provide depth to his team by losing his markers with his runs off the ball. Furthermore, he was known for having a penchant for frequently being decisive after coming off the bench.
Imprisonment
In May 2006, Padovano was arrested by Italian police in Torino over allegation of his implication in hashish traffic. He was later sentenced to eight years and eight months in jail.

Michele Padovano (* 28. August 1966 in Turin) ist ein ehemaliger italienischer Fußballspieler.
Während seiner aktiven Karriere war er Stürmer und gewann mit Juventus Turin unter anderem 1996 die Champions League.
Nach seiner aktiven Laufbahn war er beim italienischen Fünftligisten US Alessandria Calcio als Sportdirektor tätig, wurde allerdings im Mai 2006 aufgrund des Verdachts des Drogenhandels entlassen. Am 12. Dezember 2011 wurde er in Turin zu einer Freiheitsstrafe von 8 Jahren und 8 Monaten wegen Drogenhandels verurteilt.
Karriere
Im Verein
Michele Padovano begann seine Profilaufbahn 1985/86 in der Serie C2 bei der Asti TSC. Im Oktober 1986 wechselte er zu Cosenza Calcio, wo er vier Jahre lang spielte. Mit der kalabresischen Mannschaft stieg er in die Serie B auf. Im Sommer 1990 wechselte Padovano zu Pisa Calcio, wo er in der Serie A debütierte. Danach spielte er in Italiens höchster Spielklasse für die SSC Neapel, den CFC Genua und die AC Reggiana.
Den Höhepunkt seiner Karriere erlebte Michele Padovano dann zwischen 1995 und 1997. Er spielte für Juventus Turin und gewann mit der Mannschaft von Trainer Marcello Lippi sechs Titel, darunter den Scudetto und die Champions League. Im Champions-League-Finale gegen Ajax Amsterdam verwandelte er im Elfmeterschießen einen Strafstoß.
Im Sommer 1997 wurde Padovano von Juve dann an den englischen Erstligisten Crystal Palace verkauft, dort kam er jedoch nur selten zum Einsatz. Deshalb wechselte er 1998 in die französische Ligue 1 zum FC Metz. 2000/01 war er noch für Como Calcio in der Serie A aktiv, am Ende der Saison beendete Padovano seine aktive Laufbahn.
In der Nationalmannschaft
Im Frühjahr 1997 wurde Michele Padovano von Cesare Maldini erstmals für die Italienische Nationalmannschaft nominiert. Sein Debüt gab er am 29. März 1997 beim 3:0 im WM-Qualifikationsspiel gegen die Moldau. Kurz vor dem nächsten Spiel gegen Polen zog er sich im Training eine schwere Knieverletzung zu und fiel aus. Dadurch blieb die Partie gegen die Moldau sein einziges Länderspiel.

Michele Padovano (* August 28, 1966, in Turin) is a former Italian football player.
During his active career, he was a striker and, among other achievements, won the Champions League with Juventus Turin in 1996.
After his playing career, he worked as a sporting director at the Italian fifth-division club US Alessandria Calcio, but was dismissed in May 2006 due to suspicion of drug trafficking. On December 12, 2011, he was sentenced in Turin to a prison term of 8 years and 8 months for drug trafficking.
Career
At the club level
Michele Padovano began his professional career in 1985/86 in Serie C2 with Asti TSC. In October 1986, he transferred to Cosenza Calcio, where he played for four years. With the Calabrian team, he was promoted to Serie B. In the summer of 1990, Padovano moved to Pisa Calcio, where he made his debut in Serie A. Afterwards, he played in Italy's top division for SSC Napoli, CFC Genua, and AC Reggiana.
The peak of Michele Padovano's career came between 1995 and 1997. He played for Juventus Turin and won six titles with the team coached by Marcello Lippi, including the Serie A championship and the Champions League. In the Champions League final against Ajax Amsterdam, he scored a penalty in the shootout.
In summer 1997, Padovano was sold by Juve to the English Premier League club Crystal Palace, but he rarely played there. Therefore, in 1998, he transferred to French Ligue 1 club FC Metz. In 2000/01, he was still active for Como Calcio in Serie A, and at the end of the season, Padovano ended his playing career.
In the national team
In spring 1997, Michele Padovano was first called up to the Italian national team by Cesare Maldini. He made his debut on March 29, 1997, in a 3-0 World Cup qualifying match against Moldova. Shortly before the next game against Poland, he sustained a serious knee injury during training and was sidelined. As a result, the match against Moldova remained his only international appearance.

Anne of Kiev
|
<noinclude>
Anne of Kiev or Anna Yaroslavna (c. 1030 – 1075) was a princess of Kievan Rus' who became Queen of France in 1051 upon marrying King Henry I. She ruled the kingdom as regent during the minority of their son Philip I from Henry's death in 1060 until her controversial marriage to Count Ralph IV of Valois. Anne founded the Abbey of St. Vincent at Senlis.
Childhood
Anne was a daughter of Yaroslav the Wise, Grand Prince of Kiev and Prince of Novgorod, and his second wife Ingegerd Olofsdotter of Sweden. Her exact birthdate is unknown; Philippe Delorme has suggested 1027, while Andrew Gregorovich has proposed 1032, citing a mention in a Kievan chronicle of the birth of a daughter to Yaroslav in that year.
Anne's exact place in the birth order of her siblings is unknown, although she was almost certainly the youngest daughter. Little is known about Anne's childhood or education. It is assumed that she was literate, at least enough to write her name, because her signature in Cyrillic exists on a document from 1061. Delorme has pointed out that Yaroslav founded a number of schools in his kingdom and suggests that education was highly valued in his family, leading him to propose a significant level of education for Anne. Gregorovich has suggested that Anne learned French in preparation for her marriage to King Henry I of France.
Engagement
The negotiations for Anne's marriage to the 18-years-older King Henry took place in the late 1040s, after the death of Henry's first wife, Matilda of Frisia, and their only child. Due to the pressing need for an heir, and the Church's growing disapproval of consanguineous marriages, it became necessary for Henry to seek an unrelated bride. The Kievan Rus' was not unknown to the French. Yaroslav had married several of his children to Western rulers in an attempt to avoid the influence of the Byzantine Empire.
In the autumn of 1049 or the spring of 1050, Henry sent Bishop Gauthier of Meaux, Goscelin of Chauny, and other unnamed advisors to Yaroslav's court. It is possible that there were two diplomatic missions to the Rus at this time, with Roger of Chalons also present. No record of the marriage negotiations or the dowry arrangements survives, although Anne reportedly left Kiev with "rich presents". Gregorovich claims that part of the wealth she brought to France included the jacinth jewel that Abbot Suger later mounted on a reliquary of St. Denis. Anne left Kiev in the summer or fall of 1050 and traveled to Reims.
Queenship
Anne married Henry on 19 May 1051, during the feast of Pentecost. Henry was nearly twenty years older than Anne. Her wedding on 19 May 1051 followed the installation of Lietbert as bishop of Cambrai, and Anne was crowned immediately following the marriage ceremony, making her the first French queen to celebrate her coronation in Reims Cathedral.
Anne and Henry were married for nine years and had three sons: Philip, Robert (who died young), and Hugh. Anne is often credited with introducing the Greek name "Philip" to royal families of Western Europe, as she bestowed it on her first son; she might have imported this Greek name from her Eastern Orthodox culture. There may also have been a daughter, Emma, perhaps born in 1055; it is unknown if she married or when she died. Henry and Anne of Kiev are additionally said to have been the parents of the beatified figure Edigna.
As queen, Anne would have had the privilege of participating in the royal council, but there are almost no records of her doing so. In one 1058 charter, Henry granted a privilege to a couple of villages associated with the monastery of Saint-Maur-des-Fossés doing so "with the approval of my wife Anne and our children Philip, Robert, and Hugh." Anne seems to have possessed territories in the same region under the terms of her dower.
In 1059, King Henry began feuding with the Church over issues related to Gregorian Reform. During this time, Pope Nicholas II sent Queen Anne a letter counseling her to follow her conscience to right wrongs and intervene against oppressive violence, while also encouraging her to advocate with her husband so that he might govern with moderation. According to Delorme, some historians have interpreted this letter from the Pope as being indicative of Anne's conversion to Roman Catholicism from Eastern Orthodoxy.
Regency
Upon Henry's death on 4 August 1060, Philip succeeded to the throne. Count Baldwin V of Flanders, the husband of Henry's sister Adela, was assigned as Philip's guardian. Anne may still have played an active role in government at that point; an act from 1060 shows her name following Philip's, and her name appears in four times as many charters as Baldwin's. She also hired Philip's tutor, who was known at court by a Greek title.
Queen Anne's only existing signature dates from this period; it appears inscribed on a document issued at Soissons for the abbot of , now held in the National Library of France. The signature was most likely placed by a Rus' assistant of the Queen. Under the king's rubric, there is a cross and eight letters in Cyrillic, probably meaning "Ana Reina", the contemporaneous French for "Queen Anne".
Evidence for Anne's role in government, however, disappears in 1061, around the time she remarried. Her second husband was Count Ralph IV of Valois. This marriage was controversial because of the couple's affinity (as Ralph was Henry's cousin), and it constituted bigamy, since Ralph was still technically married to his second wife, Haquenez. Ralph was excommunicated for these transgressions. King Philip's advisers may have encouraged him to turn away from his mother, perhaps mistrusting Ralph's influence. Ralph began referring to himself as the king's stepfather in the late 1060s. He died in 1074, leaving Anne a widow once again.
In 1062, Anne gave a significant amount of money to restore a dilapidated chapel at Senlis, originally dedicated to Saint Vincent of Saragossa. She bequeathed lands and income to the new establishment so that the organization could sustain itself. She also wrote a letter explaining her reasons for dedicating the monastery. The letter betrays adherence to Greek Orthodox theology. For instance, the term "Mary, mother of God" is used rather than the more common "Our Lady", perhaps referring to the Eastern concept of the Theotokos. Some scholars believe that Anne did not write this letter herself.
Death and aftermath
The exact date of Anne's death is unknown. Delorme believes that she died on 5 September—the day commemorated at Senlis—in 1075 (the year of her last signed document), while others have proposed 1080. A terminus ante quem is provided by a 1089 document of Philip I, which indicates that Anne had died by then.
In 1682, the Jesuit antiquary Claude-Francois Menestrier announced that he had discovered Anne's tomb at the Cistercian Abbey of Villiers. The discovery was subsequently disputed, as Villiers was not built until the thirteenth century, although it's possible Anne's remains had been moved there at some point following her death. Whatever monument may have been there was destroyed in the French Revolution.
In the 18th and 19th centuries, increased diplomatic contact between France and Russia led to a revived antiquarian interest in Anne, and a number of short biographies were published. In the 20th century, Anne became a symbol of Ukrainian nationalism. On the other hand, a film was produced in the Soviet Union, "Yaroslavna, the Queen of France" (1978), which was not related with "Ukrainian nationalism" in any way. An opera called "Anna Yaroslavna", written by Antin Rudnytsky, was first performed at Carnegie Hall in 1969. In 1998, the Ukrainian government issued a postage stamp in her honour. In 2005, the Government of Ukraine sponsored the construction of a bronze statue of Queen Anne at Senlis, which was unveiled by President Viktor Yushchenko on 22 June.

Anna von Kiew

Anna von Kiew (, früher ), auch Anna Jaroslawna und zum Teil Agnes genannt, (* 1024–1032 wahrscheinlich in Kiew; † 5. September 1075–1078/79) war als zweite Ehefrau Heinrichs I. von Frankreich von 1051 bis 1060 Königin von Frankreich.
Aus der Dynastie der Rurikiden stammend, war Anna eine prestigeträchtige Braut für den französischen König. Nach dessen Tod übernahm sie gemeinsam mit dem flandrischen Grafen Balduin V. die Regentschaft für ihren noch unmündigen Sohn Philipp I. Als sie 1061 eine zweite Ehe mit Rudolf III., Graf von Valois, einging, kam es zum Bruch mit ihrem Sohn und dem Königshof. Einige Jahre später gab es jedoch eine Versöhnung von Mutter und Sohn, und Anna nahm ab 1065 wieder am Hofleben teil, ehe sie zwischen 1075 und 1079 starb.
Familie
Anna kam als Tochter des Großfürsten Jaroslaw des Weisen aus dem Haus der Rurikiden und dessen Frau Ingegerd von Schweden, der Tochter des schwedischen Königs Olof Skötkonung, wahrscheinlich in Kiew zur Welt. Ihr Vater hatte es verstanden, durch eine geschickte Heiratspolitik familiäre Bindungen zu vielen mächtigen Adelsdynastien in West- und Osteuropa zu knüpfen. Durch Maria Dobroniega, eine Schwester Jaroslaws, die Kasimir I. von Polen geheiratet hatte, besaß Annas Familie verwandtschaftliche Beziehungen zum polnischen Königshaus. Annas Bruder Isjaslaw hatte zudem 1043 Kasimirs Schwester Gertrude geheiratet. Annas ältere Schwester Elisabeth war durch ihre Heirat mit Harald III. Königin von Norwegen geworden, während ihre jüngere Schwester Anastasia mit dem ungarischen König Andreas I. verheiratet war. Außerdem war Anna durch die Ehe ihres Bruders Wsewolod I. mit einer Verwandten Kaisers Konstantin IX. Monomacos familiär auch mit dem byzantinischen Kaiserhaus verbunden.
Wie schon ihre beiden Schwestern vor ihr heiratete Anna einen König aus dem Westen Europas, den Kapetinger Heinrich I. von Frankreich, und wurde seine zweite Ehefrau. Aus dieser Ehe gingen drei Söhne hervor. Dies waren:
Philipp I. (* 1052; † 1108), ab 1060 König von Frankreich
Robert (* 1055; † um 1065)
Hugo (* 1057; † 1101), ab etwa 1080 Graf von Vermandois, ⚭ 1078 Adelheid, Tochter des Grafen Heribert IV. und Erbin der Grafschaft Vermandois
Der Chronist Wilhelm von Jumièges behauptet in seiner vor 1087 entstandenen Chronik, dass das Königspaar auch eine Tochter gehabt habe, er ist jedoch der einzige mittelalterliche Geschichtsschreiber, in dessen Aufzeichnungen sich diese Äußerung findet. Gemäß der Überlieferung der römisch-katholischen Kirche könnte die heilige Edigna eine Tochter Heinrichs I. gewesen sein.
Nur kurz nach Heinrichs Tod ging Anna im Jahr 1061 eine zweite Ehe mit Rudolf III. von Valois ein und wurde dessen dritte Frau. Die Verbindung der beiden blieb aber kinderlos.
Leben
Kindheit und Jugend
Über Annas Kindheit und Jugend gibt es keine Aufzeichnungen, die Forschung geht aber davon aus, dass sie als Tochter des Kiewer Großfürsten eine am dortigen Hof übliche, profunde Ausbildung erhielt. Anna kannte zum Beispiel das kyrillische Alphabet und konnte ein wenig schreiben.
Ende des Jahres 1042/43 plante Jaroslaw der Weise, Anna oder ihre Schwester Anastasia mit dem König und späteren Kaiser Heinrich III. zu verheiraten und machte diesem ein entsprechendes Angebot, was Heinrich aber ausschlug. Rund sechs Jahre später gab es aber mit Heinrich I. von Frankreich einen anderen Bewerber um Annas Hand, der als König aus dem Westen Europas ganz nach dem Geschmack des Großfürsten war. Der französische König war nach dem Tod seiner ersten Frau Mathilde 1044 fünf Jahre unverheiratet geblieben, obwohl aus seiner Ehe keine Kinder hervorgegangen waren und somit der Fortbestand der noch jungen Kapetingerdynastie nicht gesichert war. Eine mögliche Begründung für die lange Wartezeit könnte unter anderem gewesen sein, dass es Schwierigkeiten gab, im westlichen Kulturkreis eine standesgemäße Frau für ihn zu finden, deren Grad der Blutsverwandtschaft nicht zu hoch war oder die allen Ansprüchen an eine Kapetingerkönigin genügen konnte. Heinrichs Initiative ging möglicherweise auf das Betreiben des Grafen Balduin V. von Flandern zurück. Anna war unter dynastischen Gesichtspunkten eine perfekte Braut für Heinrich I.: Sie war gebildet und aus gutem Haus, das für seine zahlreichen Nachkommen und damit für die Fruchtbarkeit seiner weiblichen Familienmitglieder bekannt war. Zudem bestand keine Blutsverwandtschaft zwischen ihr und dem französischen König. Aus politischer Sicht war die Verbindung mit der Kiewer Großfürstentochter jedoch nicht besonders erstrebenswerte, denn mit der Heirat waren keine territorialen Zuwächse für das Kapetingerreich verbunden. Trotzdem traf spätestens 1049 eine Gesandtschaft Heinrichs I. in Kiew ein, um für den König um Anna zu werben. Es war aber vermutlich erst eine zweite französische Abordnung, die Anna schließlich nach den erfolgreichen Heiratsverhandlungen nach Frankreich begleitete. Darunter waren Roger II., Bischof von Châlons, Gauthier I. (der Weise), Bischof von Meaux, und Gosselin de Chaunay als Vertreter des französischen Hofs. Die früher oft zu findende Behauptung, dass auch er Mönch Ilarion Anna nach Frankreich begleitet habe, ist aus zeitlichen Gründen jedoch nahezu auszuschließen. Ebenso stellt sich die Feststellung, das Slawische Evangelium, das heute in der Stadtbibliothek von Reims aufbewahrt wird, sei seinerzeit mit Anna von Kiew nach Frankreich gekommen, als falsch heraus. Ein Inventar des Kirchenschatzes von Reims aus dem Jahr 1622 verzeichnet die Handschrift nämlich als eine Stiftung des Kardinals Charles de Lorraine-Guise aus dem Jahr 1574.
Königin von Frankreich
Die Hochzeit Annas mit Heinrich I. fand am Pfingstsonntag, dem 19. Mai 1051 in der aus dem 9. Jahrhundert stammenden karolingischen Kirche von Reims, einem Vorgängerbau der heutigen Kathedrale, statt. Die Braut befand sich in den 20ern, ein für jene Zeit bereits fortgeschrittenes Heiratsalter, und trotzdem war sie damit um die 20 Jahre jünger als ihr 43-jähriger Bräutigam. Die Hochzeitszeremonie leitete Bischof Gauthier I. Direkt im Anschluss daran wurde Anna durch den Reimser Erzbischof Guido von Châtillon unter Mitwirkung von Roger II. von Châlons auch zur Königin gesalbt. Sie war damit die erste Kapetingerkönigin, die in Reims gesalbt wurde. Der Hochzeitszeremonie schlossen sich einwöchige Festivitäten an.
Nur ein Jahr nach der Eheschließung kam mit dem ersten Sohn des Paares der ersehnte Thronfolger zur Welt. Das Kind wurde – wahrscheinlich auf Annas Wunsch hin – auf den für die Kapetingerdynastie ungewöhnlichen Namen Philipp getauft. Allerdings trug auch von Annas Vorfahren niemand diesen Namen, und im Byzantinischen Reich war er ebenfalls nicht sonderlich verbreitet. Vielleicht bezog er sich auf den Apostel Philippus, der in der orthodoxen Kirche eine wichtige Rolle spielt, oder auf dem makedonischen König Philipp II.
In den folgenden acht Ehejahren mit Heinrich erfüllte Anna aller Wahrscheinlichkeit nach die für französische Königinnen üblichen Pflichten wie zum Beispiel Kindererziehung und Führen des königlichen Haushalts. Außerdem fielen Geschenke und Stiftungen an die Kirche in ihre Verantwortlichkeit. Sie begleitete Heinrich bei den Reisen durch sein Königreich und war Mitglied des französischen Kronrats. Indes scheint sie zunächst nicht an politischen Geschäften beteiligt gewesen zu sein, denn in Königsurkunden wurde sie in den ersten Ehejahren nicht genannt. Dies änderte sich ab spätestens Juli 1058, als Anna mehr politischer Einfluss gewährt wurde.
Regentschaft und zweite Ehe
Als Heinrich I. am 4. August 1060 starb, war Annas ältester Sohn Philipp mit seinen acht Jahren noch unmündig. Er war jedoch schon zu Lebzeiten des Vaters im Mai 1059 zum Mitkönig gekrönt worden. Testamentarisch hatte Heinrich seinen Schwager Balduin V. von Flandern zum offiziellen Vormund des Thronfolgers ernannt. Anna übernahm aber wohl in ihrer Eigenschaft als Königinmutter und Mitglied des Kronrats in informeller Co-Regentschaft einen Teil der Regierungsgeschäfte. Dies erwähnen jedoch nur die Annales Bertholdi, alle anderen zeitgenössischen Chroniken führen ausschließlich Balduin als Regenten an. Fakt ist jedoch, dass Anna ihren Sohn bei seiner Rundreise durch Frankreich begleitete und in elf Urkunden aus den ersten Königsjahren Philipps namentlich Erwähnung findet, was als Indiz für ihre politische Mitwirkung angesehen werden kann.
Als die Königinmutter jedoch im Jahr 1061 in zweiter Ehe Rudolf III, Graf von Valois, später von Amiens, Vexin und Crépy heiratete, sorgte dies am Hof für einen Skandal und zum Bruch zwischen dem neunjährigen französischen König und seiner Mutter. Nach einer romantisch verklärten Version der Geschichte soll Rudolf III. Anna während eines Ausritts in den königlichen Wäldern von Senlis entführt und auf seine Burg in Crépy-en-Valois gebracht haben, wo ein eilig herbeigerufener Priester die beiden getraut haben soll. Um Anna ehelichen zu können, hatte Rudolf III. seine Ehefrau Eleonore von Montdidier und Peronne unter dem Vorwand des Ehebruchs verstoßen. Doch diese wandte sich mit Bitte um Intervention an Papst Alexander II., und nach einer offiziellen Untersuchung wurde die Ehe zwischen Anna von Kiew und ihrem zweiten Ehemann für ungültig erklärt. Da sich Rudolf jedoch entgegen der kirchlichen Anordnung nicht von seiner Frau trennte, hatte dies für ihn die Exkommunikation zur Folge. Es gibt aber keine Aufzeichnungen darüber, ob auch Anna von Kiew exkommuniziert wurde. Höflinge im direkten Umfeld Philipps machten sich die Heirat Annas erfolgreich zunutze, um den König gegen seine Mutter und ihren zweiten Mann aufzubringen. Bis Anfang 1065 scheint sie sich nicht mehr am Hof aufgehalten zu haben, zumindest sind für diese Zeit keine Kontakte der Königswitwe mit dem Königshof nachweisbar. Dann scheint es zu einer Aussöhnung zwischen Mutter und Sohn gekommen zu sein, denn in einer Königsurkunde vom 26. Januar 1065 erscheint Anna wieder. Sie war auch dabei, als ihr Sohn 1071 Bertha von Holland heiratete.
In Zusammenhang mit Annas Wiederverheiratung sieht die Forschung die von ihr initiierte Gründung des Augustinerchorherrenstifts Saint-Vincent in Senlis, die höchstwahrscheinlich in die Zeit zwischen 1062 und 1069 fiel. Gründung und Ausstattung des Klosters waren womöglich eine ihr abverlangte Leistung, um ihrer zweiten Ehe zu einer besseren Akzeptanz zu verhelfen. Um etwa 1062 gründete Anna mit der Benediktinerinnenabtei Saint-Rémi auch ein Frauenkloster in Senlis, das 1630 nach Villers-Cotterêts umzog.
Letzte Jahre
Nach zwölf Jahren Ehe machte der Tod Rudolfs im September 1074 Anna ein zweites Mal zur Witwe. Möglicherweise kehrte sie an den französischen Hof zurück. In einer Urkunde aus dem Jahr 1075 wurde sie ein letztes Mal namentlich aufgeführt, danach trat sie urkundlich nicht mehr in Erscheinung. Vielleicht zog sie sich in das von ihr gegründete Kloster Saint-Vincent zurück. Ein anonymer Chronist behauptete, dass sie angeblich in ihre Heimat, die Kiewer Rus, zurückgekehrt sei.
Das genaue Todesdatum Annas von Kiew ist bis heute unbekannt. Es ist aber überliefert, dass in Senlis alljährlich am 5. September eine Messe für sie gelesen wurde, was diesen Tag als Todesdatum nahelegt. Eine Schenkung Philipps I. an die Abtei Cluny im Jahr 1079 tätigte er zur Vergebung von Sünden seines Vaters und seiner Mutter. Es steht also zu vermuten, dass Anna zwischen 1075 und 1079 verstarb. Die Grablege der einstigen Königin ist ebenfalls unbekannt. Sicher ist, dass sie weder in Saint-Denis noch neben ihrem zweiten Mann in der Abtei Saint-Arnould in Crépy-en-Valois bestattet wurde. Es spricht aber vieles dafür, dass sich ihr Grab in der Abtei Saint-Vincent befand. 1682 behauptete der Jesuitenpater Claude-François Ménestrier, er habe Annas Grab aufgrund einer Inschrift auf einer Grabplatte in der Kirche der Abtei Villiers-aux-Nonnains bei La Ferté-Alais gefunden, doch wird diese Theorie von den heutigen Mediävisten mehrheitlich als unglaubwürdig eingestuft. Überprüfbar ist Ménestriers Aussage nicht mehr, denn das in Frage stehende Grab wurde während der Französischen Revolution zerstört.

Anna of Kiev (, formerly ), also called Anna Jaroslawna and partly Agnes, (* 1024–1032 probably in Kiev; † September 5, 1075–1078/79) was Queen of France as the second wife of Henry I of France from 1051 to 1060.
Coming from the Rurikid dynasty, Anna was a prestigious bride for the French king. After his death, she jointly governed with the Flanders count Baldwin V for their still minor son Philip I. When she entered into a second marriage with Rudolf III, Count of Valois, in 1061, it caused a break with her son and the royal court. However, some years later, there was a reconciliation between mother and son, and Anna resumed court life from 1065 until her death between 1075 and 1079.
Family
Anna was born as the daughter of Grand Prince Yaroslav the Wise of Kiev from the Rurikid house and his wife Ingegerd of Sweden, the daughter of Swedish King Olof Skötkonung, probably in Kiev. Her father understood how to forge family ties to many powerful noble dynasties in Western and Eastern Europe through clever marriage politics. Through Maria Dobroniega, a sister of Yaroslav who married Casimir I of Poland, Anna's family had kinship relations with the Polish royal house. Anna's brother Isjaslaw also married Casimir's sister Gertrude in 1043. Anna's older sister Elisabeth became Queen of Norway through her marriage to Harald III, while her younger sister Anastasia was married to Hungarian King Andrew I. Additionally, Anna was related to the Byzantine imperial family through her brother Vsevolod I's marriage to a relative of Emperor Constantine IX Monomachos.
Like her two sisters before her, Anna married a king from Western Europe, King Henry I of France, and became his second wife. Three sons resulted from this marriage:
- Philip I (* 1052; † 1108), King of France from 1060
- Robert (* 1055; † around 1065)
- Hugh (* 1057; † 1101), Count of Vermandois from around 1080, married in 1078 to Adelaide, daughter of Count Herbert IV and heiress of the County of Vermandois
The chronicler William of Jumièges claims in his chronicle written before 1087 that the royal couple also had a daughter, but he is the only medieval historian to record this. According to the tradition of the Roman Catholic Church, Saint Edigna could have been a daughter of Henry I.
Shortly after Henry's death, in 1061, Anna entered into a second marriage with Rudolf III of Valois, later of Amiens, Vexin, and Crépy, becoming his third wife. This marriage remained childless.
Life
Childhood and Youth
There are no records of Anna's childhood and youth, but research assumes that as the daughter of the Kiev Grand Prince, she received a thorough education typical of the court there. For example, Anna knew the Cyrillic alphabet and could write a little.
At the end of 1042/43, Yaroslav the Wise planned to marry Anna or her sister Anastasia to King and later Emperor Henry III, making an offer which Henry declined. About six years later, another candidate for Anna's hand appeared—Henry I of France, who was very much to the liking of the Grand Prince. After the death of his first wife Mathilde in 1044, Henry remained unmarried for five years, even though no children had resulted from his marriage, and the young Capetian dynasty's continuation was not secured. A possible reason for this long wait could have been difficulties in finding a suitable wife within Western culture, one whose degree of kinship was not too high or who met all the requirements of a Capetian queen. Henry's initiative may have been driven by the efforts of Count Baldwin V of Flanders. From a dynastic perspective, Anna was an ideal bride for Henry I: educated and of noble descent, known for her numerous descendants and thus fertility of her female relatives. Moreover, there was no kinship between her and the French king. Politically, however, the alliance with the Kiev Grand Princess was not particularly desirable, as marriage did not bring territorial gains for the Capetian realm. Nevertheless, by 1049 at the latest, an embassy of Henry I arrived in Kiev to advocate for Anna. It was probably only a second French delegation that finally accompanied Anna to France after successful marriage negotiations, including Roger II, Bishop of Châlons; Gauthier I (the Wise), Bishop of Meaux; and Gosselin de Chaunay as representatives of the French court. The often-claimed assertion that the monk Ilarion also accompanied her is almost impossible due to timing reasons. Similarly, the claim that the Slavic Gospel, now kept in the city library of Reims, arrived in France with Anna of Kiev has been proven false; an inventory of the Reims church treasury from 1622 lists the manuscript as a gift from Cardinal Charles de Lorraine-Guise from 1574.
Queen of France
Anna's marriage to Henry I took place on Pentecost Sunday, May 19, 1051, in the Carolingian church of Reims, dating from the 9th century, a predecessor of the current cathedral. The bride was in her twenties, already an advanced age for marriage at that time, yet she was about 20 years younger than her 43-year-old groom. The wedding ceremony was led by Bishop Gauthier I. Immediately afterward, Anna was anointed as queen by Archbishop Guido of Châtillon of Reims, with the participation of Roger II of Châlons. She thus became the first Capetian queen anointed in Reims. The wedding was followed by a week of festivities.
Just a year after the marriage, the long-awaited heir to the throne was born—the first son of the couple. The child was probably named Philip at Anna's request, an unusual name for the Capetian dynasty. Neither Anna's ancestors bore this name, nor was it common in the Byzantine Empire. It may have referred to the Apostle Philip, who plays an important role in the Orthodox Church, or to Macedonian King Philip II.
During the following eight years of marriage, Anna likely fulfilled the typical duties of a French queen, such as raising children and managing the royal household. She was also responsible for gifts and donations to the church. She accompanied Henry on his travels through his kingdom and was a member of the French royal council. Initially, she does not seem to have been involved in political affairs, as she was not mentioned in royal documents during the early years of the marriage. This changed at the latest by July 1058, when Anna was granted more political influence.
Regency and Second Marriage
When Henry I died on August 4, 1060, Anna's eldest son Philip, at only eight years old, was still a minor. However, he had been crowned co-king in May 1059 during his father's lifetime. Henry had designated his brother-in-law Baldwin V of Flanders as the official guardian of the heir. Anna, as queen mother and member of the royal council, probably took on an informal co-regency in governing affairs. This is mentioned only in the Annales Bertholdi; all other contemporary chronicles list only Baldwin as regent. It is certain, however, that Anna accompanied her son on his tour through France and is mentioned by name in eleven documents from Philip's early kingship, which can be seen as evidence of her political involvement.
When the queen mother married Rudolf III of Valois in 1061—later of Amiens, Vexin, and Crépy—this caused a scandal at court and led to a break between the nine-year-old king and his mother. According to a romanticized version of the story, Rudolf III abducted Anna during a ride in the royal forests of Senlis and took her to his castle in Crépy-en-Valois, where a priest was hastily summoned to marry them. Rudolf III had previously divorced his wife Eleanor of Montdidier and Péronne under the pretext of adultery to marry Anna. Eleanor appealed to Pope Alexander II for intervention, and after an official investigation, the marriage between Anna of Kiev and Rudolf was declared invalid. However, Rudolf refused to separate from his wife despite church orders, leading to his excommunication. There are no records indicating whether Anna of Kiev was also excommunicated. Courtiers close to Philip exploited Anna's successful marriage to turn the king against his mother and her second husband. By early 1065, she appears to have left the court, as no contacts between the royal widow and the court are documented for that period. Subsequently, there seems to have been a reconciliation between mother and son, as she reappears in a royal charter from January 26, 1065. She was also present when her son married Bertha of Holland in 1071.
In connection with Anna's remarriage, scholars believe she initiated the founding of the Augustinian priory of Saint-Vincent in Senlis, likely between 1062 and 1069. The founding and endowment of the monastery may have been a concession to improve her second marriage’s acceptance. Around 1062, Anna also founded a women's monastery in Senlis with the Benedictine Abbey of Saint-Rémi, which moved to Villers-Cotterêts in 1630.
Last Years
After twelve years of marriage, Rudolf's death in September 1074 made Anna a widow for the second time. She may have returned to the French court. A document from 1075 mentions her for the last time by name; afterward, she no longer appears in records. She may have retreated to the monastery of Saint-Vincent that she founded. An anonymous chronicler claimed she returned to her homeland, Kievan Rus.
Anna of Kiev's exact date of death remains unknown. It is known that a mass was held annually in Senlis on September 5 for her, suggesting this as her date of death. Philip I's donation to the Abbey of Cluny in 1079 was made for the forgiveness of his father’s and mother’s sins. It is therefore presumed that Anna died between 1075 and 1079. Her burial site is also unknown. It is certain she was not buried in Saint-Denis nor next to her second husband in the Abbey of Saint-Arnould in Crépy-en-Valois. However, many believe her grave was in the Abbey of Saint-Vincent. In 1682, Jesuit Father Claude-François Ménestrier claimed to have found Anna’s grave based on an inscription on a tombstone in the church of the Abbey of Villiers-aux-Nonnains near La Ferté-Alais, but this theory is now widely considered implausible by modern medievalists. Ménestrier’s statement cannot be verified, as the grave in question was destroyed during the French Revolution.

Nattawut Saikua
|
Nattawut Saikua (; ; born June 4, 1975) is a Thai politician. He is the secretary-general and spokesman of the United Front for Democracy Against Dictatorship ("Red Shirts"), and a Member of Parliament for the Pheu Thai Party list. In 2008, he was spokesman for the Somchai Wongsawat government. From January 2012 to May 2014, he served as Deputy Minister in Yingluck Shinawatra's cabinet.
Education and family
Nattawut was born in Sichon District, Nakhon Si Thammarat Province. He has one older brother, Jettanan. Nattawut studied communication studies at the Dhurakij Pundit University, where he graduated with a bachelor's degree in 1998. Later, he attended the Master of Public and Private Management programme of the National Institute of Development Administration, graduating in 2005. He is married to Sirisakul Saikua, and they have one son and one daughter.
Orator and TV personality
Nattawut has a reputation as a stirring orator. Already as a high school student, he successfully participated in debating contests, including an appearance on Thai TV Channel 3. Later, he worked as a speech trainer. Nattawut gained fame on the Thai television program Sapa Joke ("Joke Parliament") on iTV, a show that travestied Thai parliament and politics. He "dubbed" Trairong Suwankiri, who was the deputy leader of the Democrat Party.
Political career and activism
Nattawut joined the National Development Party in 2001 and moved to the Thai Rak Thai Party (TRT) of Prime Minister Thaksin Shinawatra in 2005. Inside TRT, he formed a faction together with his "buddies" and political allies Jatuporn Prompan and Veera Musikapong. After the overthrow of Thaksin and the forced dissolution of TRT, he represented the People's Power Party in the 2007 Thai elections. He became Deputy Spokesman for the Samak Sundaravej government on February 6, 2008. On October 7, 2008, he became the spokesman for the Somchai Wongsawat government.
Nattawut, alongside Jatuporn and Veera, is one of the leaders of the United Front of Democracy Against Dictatorship (UDD), colloquially called the "Red Shirts". The UDD is a political pressure group that campaigned and fiercely protested against the 2006 Thai coup d'état, which overthrew the government of Thaksin Shinawatra, against the military-installed government and the government of Abhisit Vejjajiva. Nattawut and his friends had a role in the initiation of the pro-Thaksin PTV channel. Moreover, they hosted the political talkshow Truth Today.
Nattawut co-organised the mass protests in 2009 and, together with the other UDD heads, led the "Red Shirts" in the fierce protests from March to May 2010 that led to the bloody military crackdowns of April and May. Nattawut, Jatuporn Prompan and other Red-Shirt leaders surrendered themselves to police to prevent further bloodshed during the violent military crackdown on 19 May 2010. Afterwards, Nattawut was prosecuted on terrorism charges. He was released on bail terms on 22 February 2011.
At the 2011 Thai general election Nattawut Saikua was elected Member of Parliament on the winning Pheu Thai Party list. When Prime Minister Yingluck Shinawatra reshuffled her cabinet on 18 January 2012, Nattawut was named Deputy Minister of Agriculture and Cooperatives. After the Cabinet reshuffle on 28 October 2012, he changed to the Ministry of Commerce. He lost his government office during the coup d'état on 22 May 2014. After the coup, he was held in military detention for seven days, alongside other "Red Shirt" leaders.
Controversies
In a 2010 speech, Nattawut insinuated that Jarungjit Thikara, a lady-in-waiting of Queen Sirikit, ordered the army to crack down on the 2010 protests on the queen's behalf.
On 22 June 2013, a music video surfaced on YouTube featuring Nattawut singing about and promoting local grocery stores. The video received harsh criticism, with some viewers stating it was a waste of government spending.

Nattawut Saikua (, []; * 4. Juni 1975 in der Provinz Nakhon Si Thammarat, Thailand) ist ein thailändischer Politiker. Er ist der Generalsekretär und Sprecher der National United Front of Democracy Against Dictatorship („Rothemden“). Er initiierte die ersten Rothemden-Aktionen.
Bekannt wurde er durch die Demonstrationen im Frühling 2010 in der Hauptstadt Bangkok. 2011 wurde er auf der Liste der Pheu-Thai-Partei ins Parlament gewählt. Von Januar 2012 bis Mai 2014 war er Mitglied im Kabinett von Yingluck Shinawatra, zunächst als stellvertretender Landwirtschaftsminister, nach einer Kabinettsumbildung im Dezember 2012 als stellvertretender Handelsminister.
Familie und Ausbildung
Nattawut wurde im Tambon Sichon, Amphoe Sichon, Provinz Nakhon Si Thammarat geboren. Er ist mit Sirisakul Saikua verheiratet, mit der er einen Sohn und eine Tochter hat. Jettanan Saikua ist sein älterer Bruder.
Nattawut schloss 1998 ein Studium der Kommunikationswissenschaft an der Thurakit-Bandit-Universität mit dem Bachelorgrad ab. Später nahm er am Master of Public and Private Management-Programm des National Institute of Development Administration (NIDA) teil, das er 2005 abschloss.
Redner und Fernsehstar
Nattawut hat den Ruf eines mitreißenden Redners. Bereits als Schüler nahm er mit Erfolg an Debattierwettbewerben teil, einschließlich eines Auftritts beim Sender MCOT-3. Später arbeitete er als Sprecherzieher. Nattawut erlangte Bekanntheit durch seine Mitwirkung an der Fernsehsendung Sapa Joke („Scherz-Parlament“) beim Privatsender iTV. Die Sendung parodierte das thailändische Parlament und die Politik im Allgemeinen. Nattawut „synchronisierte“ Trairong Suwankiri, den damaligen Vizechef der Demokratischen Partei.
Politische Karriere und Aktivismus
2001 trat Nattawut der Chart-Pattana-Partei bei, wechselte jedoch 2005 zur Partei Thai Rak Thai (TRT) des Ministerpräsidenten Thaksin Shinawatra. Innerhalb der TRT, begründete er eine Gruppierung gemeinsam mit seinen Freunden und politischen Verbündeten Jatuporn Prompan und Veera Musikapong. Nach dem Sturz Thaksins und der angeordneten Auflösung der TRT, trat Nattawut bei den Wahlen 2007 für die Volksmachtpartei an. Am 6. Februar 2008 wurde er stellvertretender Regierungssprecher der Regierung Samak Sundaravej und am 7. Oktober 2008 Regierungssprecher der Regierung Somchai Wongsawat.
Nattawutt ist, gemeinsam mit Jatuporn und Veera, einer der Anführer der United Front for Democracy Against Dictatorship (UDD), die umgangssprachlich als Bewegung der „Rothemden“ bezeichnet wird. Die UDD ist eine politische Bewegung, die sich entschieden gegen den Putsch 2006, der die Regierung Thaksin Shinawatras stürzte, die vom Militär eingesetzte Übergangsregierung und die Regierung von Abhisit Vejjajiva engagierte und auch erbittert protestierte. Nattawut und seine Freunde spielten eine Rolle beim Start des Thaksin-freundlichen Fernsehsenders People’s Television. Zudem moderierten sie die Polit-Talkshow Truth Today. Nattawut war Mitorganisator der Massenproteste 2009 und führte, gemeinsam mit den anderen UDD-Chefs die „Rothemden“ in die heftigen Unruhen von März bis Mai 2010, die zur Niederwerfung durch das Militär im April und Mai führten. Nattawut, Jatuporn und andere Rothemden-Anführer stellten sich der Polizei am 19. Mai 2010, um ein weiteres Blutvergießen durch das brutale Durchgreifen des Militärs zu verhindern. Nattawut Saikua wurde wegen seiner Beteiligung an den Protesten in Bangkok 2010 mit mehreren anderen Anführern der Bewegung wegen Terrorismus angeklagt. Am 22. Februar 2011 wurde er gegen Zahlung einer Kaution auf freien Fuß gesetzt.
Bei der Parlamentswahl 2011 wurde Nattawut Saikua für die Liste der Pheu-Thai-Partei, die die Wahlen auch insgesamt gewann, ins Parlament gewählt. Als Ministerpräsidentin Yingluck Shinawatra ihr Kabinett am 18. Januar 2011 umbildete, wurde Nattawut zum stellvertretenden Minister für Landwirtschaft und Genossenschaften ernannt. Nach einer weiteren Kabinettsumbildung im Dezember 2012 wechselte er als stellvertretender Minister ins Handelsministerium.
Er verlor sein Amt durch den Militärputsch vom 22. Mai 2014. Er wurde – wie andere Politiker und Aktivisten – für mehrere Tage in einer Militärbasis festgehalten, dann aber wieder freigelassen, unter der Bedingung, dass er sich nicht mehr politisch betätigt. Im November 2015 wurde Nattawut kurzzeitig erneut interniert, als er mit Jatuporn Prompan einen unter der Ägide des Militärs angelegten Park besuchen wollte, bei dessen Entstehung es Korruptionsfälle gegeben haben soll.

Tippu Tip
|
Tippu Tip, or Tippu Tib (1832 – June 14, 1905), real name Ḥamad ibn Muḥammad ibn Jumʿah ibn Rajab ibn Muḥammad ibn Saʿīd al Murjabī (), was an Afro-Omani ivory and slave owner and trader, explorer, governor and plantation owner. He worked for a succession of the sultans of Zanzibar and was the Sultan of Uterera, a short-lived state in Kasongo, Maniema ruled by himself and his son Sefu who was an Emir with local WaManyema.
Tippu Tip traded in slaves for Zanzibar's clove plantations. As part of the large and lucrative trade, he led many trading expeditions into Central Africa, constructing profitable trading posts deep into the Congo Basin region and thus becoming the most well-known slave trader in Africa, supplying much of the world with black slaves.
He also bought the ivory from WaManyema suppliers in Kasongo, the capital of the Sultanate of Utetera, and resold it for a profit at coastal ports.
Early life
Based on descriptions of his age at different points in his life, it is believed that Tippu Tip was born around 1832 in Zanzibar. Tippu Tip's mother, Bint Habib bin Bushir, was a Muscat Arab of the ruling class. His father and paternal grandfather were coastal Arabs of the Swahili Coast who had taken part in the earliest slave-trading expeditions to the interior. His paternal great-grandmother, wife of Rajab bin Mohammed bin Said el Murgebi, was the daughter of Juma bin Mohammed el Nebhani, a member of a respected Muscat (Oman) family, and a Bantu woman from the settlement of Mbuamaji, south of what would later become the German capital of Dar es Salaam in present-day Kigamboni District.
Throughout his lifetime Hamad bin Muhammad bin Juma bin Rajab el Murjebi was more commonly known as Tippu Tib, which translates to "the gatherer together of wealth". According to him, he was given the nickname Tippu Tip after the "tiptip" sound that his guns gave off during expeditions in Chungu territory.
At a relatively young age, Tippu Tip led a group of about 100 men into Central Africa seeking slaves and ivory. After plundering several large swathes of land, he returned to Zanzibar to consolidate his resources and recruit for his forces. Following this he returned to mainland Africa.
Later life
Tippu Tip built a slave trading empire, and is considered the second wealthiest Muslim slave trader in history, using the proceeds to establish clove plantations on Zanzibar. Abdul Sheriff reported that when he left for his twelve years of "empire building" on the mainland, he had no plantations of his own. By 1895, he had acquired "seven 'shambas' [plantations] and 10,000 slaves".
He met and helped several famous western explorers of the African continent, including David Livingstone and Henry Morton Stanley. Between 1884 and 1887 he claimed the Eastern Congo for himself and for the Sultan of Zanzibar, Bargash bin Said el Busaidi. In spite of his position as protector of Zanzibar's interests in Congo, he managed to maintain good relations with the Europeans. When, in August 1886, fighting broke out between the Swahili and the representatives of King Leopold II of Belgium at Stanley Falls, al-Murjabī went to the Belgian consul at Zanzibar to assure him of his "good intentions". Although he was still a force in Central African politics, he could see by 1886 that power in the region was shifting.
Governor of the Stanley Falls District
in early 1887, Stanley arrived in Zanzibar and proposed that Tippu Tip be made governor of the Stanley Falls District in the Congo Free State. Both Leopold and Sultan Barghash bin Said of Zanzibar agreed and on February 24, 1887, Tippu Tip accepted. At the same time, he agreed to man the expedition which Stanley had been commissioned to organize for the purpose of rescuing Emin Pasha (E. Schnitzer), the German governor of Equatoria (a region of Ottoman Egypt, today in South Sudan) who had been stranded in the Bahr el Ghazal area as a result of the Mahdi uprising in Sudan.
Tippu Tip travelled back to the Upper Congo in the company of Stanley, but this time by way of the Atlantic coast and up the Congo River. Aside from its doubtful usefulness, the relief expedition was marred by the near annihilation of its rearguard, a disaster for which Stanley attempted to place the blame on Tippu Tip.
Congo–Arab War
After his tenure as governor, the Congo–Arab War broke out. Both sides fought with armies consisting mostly of local African soldiers fighting under the command of either Arab or European leaders.
When Tippu Tip left the Congo, the authority of King Leopold's Free State was still very weak in the Eastern parts of the territory and the power lay largely with local Arabic or Swahili strongmen. Amongst these were Tippu Tip's son Sefu bin Hamid and a trader known as Rumaliza in the area close to Lake Tanganyika.
In 1892, Sefu bin Hamed attacked Belgian ivory traders, who were seen as a threat to the Arab-Swahili trade. The Free State government sent a force under commander Francis Dhanis to the East. Dhanis had an early success when chief Ngongo Lutete changed sides from Sefu's to his. The better armed and organised Belgian force defeated their opponents in several fights until the death of Sefu on 20 October 1893, and finally forcing also Rumaliza to flee to German territory in 1895.
Death
After returning to Zanzibar around 1890/91, Tippu Tip retired. He set out to write an account of his life, which is the first example of the literary genre of autobiography in the Bantu Swahili language. Dr. Heinrich Brode, who knew him in Zanzibar, transcribed the manuscript into Roman script and translated it into German. It was subsequently translated into English and published in Britain in 1907.
Tippu Tip died June 13, 1905, of malaria (according to Brode) in his home in Stone Town, the main town on the island of Zanzibar.

Tippu-Tip, westlich vom Kongo Mutschi-Pula genannt (auch Tippo Tip oder Tupa-Tupa, * 1837 oder 1838; † 13. Juni 1905 in Stone Town, Sansibar), mit richtigem Namen Hamed bin Juma bin Rajab bin Mohammed bin Said el-Murjebi, war ein ostafrikanischer Sklaven- und Elfenbeinhändler. Er unterstützte zahlreiche europäische Forschungsreisende, arbeitete zeitweise für das belgische Königshaus und das Deutsche Reich und war eine der einflussreichsten Persönlichkeiten Ostafrikas seiner Zeit.
Jugend und Beginn der Tätigkeit als Händler
Tippu-Tip war der Sohn eines omanischen Händlers und einer Ostafrikanerin, der Tochter des Herrschers von Unyanyembe (Unjanjembe), Ifundikira. Er begann seine Karriere als Händler bereits mit siebzehn Jahren. Im Laufe seines Lebens führte er mehrere umfangreiche Expeditionen nach Ost- und Zentralafrika durch. Teils mit Waffengewalt, teils durch Allianzen mit afrikanischen Herrschern errichtete er in den 1860er Jahren westlich des Tanganjikasees ein Handelsimperium. Die 1869 von Arabern gegründete Handelsdepotstadt Nyangwe baute er ab 1874 zu seiner Residenz und zum größten Sklavenumschlagplatz Zentralafrikas aus. Seine bewaffnete Gefolgschaft soll zeitweise aus mehr als 10.000 Leuten bestanden haben. Ihr gehörten Sklaven aus allen Teilen Ost- und Zentralafrikas sowie Händler von der ostafrikanischen Küste an.
Kontakte mit Europäern
Bekannt und später berühmt wurde er in Europa durch seine Kontakte mit europäischen Forschungsreisenden und leitenden Kolonialbeamten, unter anderem Henry Morton Stanley, Eduard Schnitzer, David Livingstone, Veney Cameron, Hermann von Wissmann und Wilhelm Junker, denen er bei ihren Forschungsreisen Unterstützung gewährte. Er war in Ujiji 1871 Augenzeuge des historischen Zusammentreffens von Stanley und Livingstone („Dr. Livingstone, I presume?“). Alle Europäer beschrieben ihn als äußerst zuvorkommend, gebildet, freundlich und charismatisch. Er unterhielt in Sansibar gute Kontakte mit allen dort akkreditierten Diplomaten. Stanley bezeichnete ihn als schwarzen Gentleman.
Gouverneur im Auftrag der belgischen Krone
Nachdem das unabhängige Sansibar, in dessen Sultans Auftrag er unterwegs war, 1886 seinen Einfluss auf dem tanganikanischen Festland zugunsten der Deutsch-Ostafrikanischen Gesellschaft verlor, schloss er 1887 mit Leopold II. eine Vereinbarung, die ihn zum Gouverneur der Region um die Stanley-Wasserfälle des Kongo-Freistaats machte. Damit einher ging das Verbot des Sklavenhandels, das durchzusetzen er sich verpflichten musste. Diese Vereinbarung, eingefädelt durch britische Diplomaten und mit dem Segen des Sultans, stieß auf den Widerstand anderer einflussreicher Händler, die dem stärker werdenden Einfluss des Kongo-Freistaates militärisch Widerstand leisten und auf den Sklavenhandel nicht verzichten wollten. An diesem Widerstand zerbrach auch die Vereinbarung Tippu-Tips mit dem Freistaat nach dem Tod Sultan Bargaschs von Sansibar. Nach 1891 zog er sich nach Sansibar zurück. Die zurückbleibenden Araber zogen in den Krieg gegen den der belgischen Krone unterstehenden Kongo-Freistaat. Innerhalb von fünf Jahren wurden sie von Leopolds Truppen vernichtend geschlagen. Das Handelsimperium zerfiel.
Zusammenarbeit mit Deutsch-Ostafrika
Eine gewisse Rolle spielte Tippu-Tip in der Geschichte der Kolonie Deutsch-Ostafrika. Er belieferte die deutsche Schutztruppe mit Gefolgsleuten, viele von ihnen waren ehemalige Sklaven. Die ihm von den deutschen Kolonialbehörden angebotene Tätigkeit als Gouverneur einer Provinz im Westen Tanganjikas lehnte er ab. Seine enge Zusammenarbeit mit Wissmann, der die deutsche Kolonialherrschaft mit der Bekämpfung des Sklavenhandels zu rechtfertigen pflegte, wurde in Deutschland erst später bekannt.
Autor
Tippu Tip verfasste bzw. diktierte im Ruhestand auf Sansibar seine Biographie auf Swahili. Sie ist das erste Beispiel dieses Typs von Literatur in der ostafrikanischen Sprache.

Tippu-Tip, called Mutschi-Pula west of the Congo (also Tippo Tip or Tupa-Tupa, born 1837 or 1838; died June 13, 1905, in Stone Town, Zanzibar), whose real name was Hamed bin Juma bin Rajab bin Mohammed bin Said el-Murjebi, was an East African slave and ivory trader. He supported numerous European explorers, worked at times for the Belgian royal family and the German Empire, and was one of the most influential figures in East Africa of his time.
Youth and Beginning of Trading Activities
Tippu-Tip was the son of an Omani trader and an East African woman, the daughter of the ruler of Unyanyembe (Unjanjembe), Ifundikira. He began his career as a trader at the age of seventeen. Over the course of his life, he conducted several extensive expeditions into East and Central Africa. Sometimes with armed force, sometimes through alliances with African rulers, he established a trading empire west of Lake Tanganyika in the 1860s. The trading depot city of Nyangwe, founded by Arabs in 1869, he developed from 1874 into his residence and the largest slave trading center in Central Africa. His armed following is said to have at times consisted of more than 10,000 people, including slaves from all parts of East and Central Africa and traders from the East African coast.
Contacts with Europeans
He became known and later famous in Europe through his contacts with European explorers and colonial officials, including Henry Morton Stanley, Eduard Schnitzer, David Livingstone, Veney Cameron, Hermann von Wissmann, and Wilhelm Junker, whom he supported during their explorations. He was an eyewitness in Ujiji in 1871 to the historic meeting of Stanley and Livingstone ("Dr. Livingstone, I presume?"). All Europeans described him as extremely courteous, educated, friendly, and charismatic. He maintained good contacts in Zanzibar with all accredited diplomats there. Stanley called him a "black gentleman."
Governor on Behalf of the Belgian Crown
After the independent Zanzibar, in whose sultan's service he was operating, lost influence on the mainland of Tanganyika in 1886 to the German East Africa Society, he made an agreement in 1887 with Leopold II that made him governor of the region around the Congo Free State's Stanley Falls. This included a commitment to enforce the ban on the slave trade. This agreement, arranged through British diplomats and with the sultan's blessing, faced resistance from other influential traders who wanted to resist the increasing influence of the Congo Free State militarily and did not want to give up the slave trade. This resistance also led to the breakdown of Tippu-Tip's agreement with the Free State after the death of Sultan Bargash of Zanzibar. After 1891, he retreated to Zanzibar. The remaining Arabs went to war against the Congo Free State under Belgian rule. Within five years, they were decisively defeated by Leopold's troops. The trading empire disintegrated.
Cooperation with German East Africa
Tippu-Tip played a certain role in the history of the German colony of East Africa. He supplied the German Schutztruppe with followers, many of whom were former slaves. He refused the German colonial authorities' offer to serve as governor of a province in western Tanganyika. His close cooperation with Wissmann, who justified German colonial rule with the fight against the slave trade, was only revealed in Germany later.
Author
Tippu Tip wrote or dictated his biography in Swahili during his retirement in Zanzibar. It is the first example of this type of literature in the East African language.

Bernile Nienau
|
Rosa Bernile Nienau (20 April 1926 – 5 October 1943), called Bernile, was a German girl who became known as "the Führer's child" because of her close friendship with Adolf Hitler that lasted from 1933 to 1938.
Life
Nienau was born on 20 April 1926, the daughter of Bernhard Nienau, a physician (1887–1926), and Karoline, a nurse (1892–1962). Her father died shortly before she was born. Nienau, her mother Karoline, and her maternal grandmother Ida (née Morgenstern) Voit (1867-1942) moved to Munich around 1928. Voit, a widow or divorcee, was a Roman Catholic teacher of Jewish descent.
Bernile was one-quarter Jewish, which made her unacceptable under the Nazi regime and subject to persecution. Hitler built Nazi concentration camps to house and exterminate Jews beginning about 1933.
Interaction with Hitler
In the spring of 1933, probably at the instigation of her mother, Bernile, (whose birthday was, like Hitler's, April 20th), pressed to the forefront of the stream of visitors on Obersalzberg to grab Hitler's attention. The fact that Bernile's maternal grandmother and mother were Jewish was already known to Hitler in 1933.
From that contact she and Hitler developed a "friendship" that lasted until 1938. In the Federal Archives in Berlin there are 17 letters which the girl wrote, probably with the help of her mother, between 18 January 1935 and 12 November 1939, to Hitler and his chief aide Wilhelm Brückner. An extract:
Munich, 27 September 1936. Dear Uncle Brückner! Today I have a lot to tell you. During the holidays we were on the Obersalzberg and I was twice allowed to dear Uncle Hitler! Unfortunately, you have never been up. [...] I am already working on the Christmas work. [...] Uncle Hitler I knit some socks again because I asked him if they fit him last year. He said yes! This year I can knit with finer wool, mum only helps me with the heel. They are going to be very warm, and where he always travels so much, his feet will not feel cold. [...] Mummy also sends you greetings and many greetings and kisses from your Bernile!
On 19 April 1938, Hitler's adjutant Fritz Wiedemann described Hitler's disregard for her Jewish ancestry to subordinate party offices as "a purely human attitude toward the child". However, when Martin Bormann got wind of the lack of "German-bloodedness", the girl and her mother were forbidden to appear in Berghof. Hitler learned about it because his personal photographer Heinrich Hoffmann complained that Bormann had forbidden him to continue to publish photos showing the Führer as "his child". In his book "Hitler as I Saw Him", Hoffmann writes that Hitler said about Bormann: "There are people who have a true talent to spoil my every joy." While Hoffmann's illustrated book Youth around Hitler which included the photographs of Hitler with Bernile continued to sell, around May 1938 the mother was officially asked to stop any contacts with party leaders.
Death
Bernile, who learned the profession of a technical draftsman, died on 5 October 1943 at 17 in Schwabing Hospital of spinal poliomyelitis. Her grave is located on the Munich West Cemetery.

Bernile Nienau
|
Bernhardine Nienau (* 20. April 1926 in Dortmund; † 5. Oktober 1943 in München), genannt Bernile, war eine deutsche Schülerin, die wegen ihres engen Kontakts zu Adolf Hitler als „des Führers Kind“ bekannt wurde.
Leben
Bernhardine Nienau kam als einziges Kind des Arztes Bernhard Nienau (1887–1926) in Dortmund zur Welt. Der Vater starb kurz vor ihrer Geburt. Die Mutter, die Krankenschwester Karoline, geb. Helwig (15. März 1892 – 26. Juli 1962), übersiedelte nach München und kaufte dort um 1928 ein neu errichtetes Haus an der Laimer Straße 31 in Nymphenburg. Dort lebte außerdem die Großmutter Berniles, die römisch-katholische Lehrerswitwe jüdischer Abstammung Ida Voit, verwitwete oder geschiedene Helwig, geborene Morgenstern (18. Juli 1867 – 29. Dezember 1942). Wahrscheinlich auf Betreiben der Mutter drängte sich Bernile im Frühjahr 1933 in die vordersten Reihen des Besucherstroms in Obersalzberg, um Hitler auf sich aufmerksam zu machen. Aus dem Kontakt entwickelte sich eine „Freundschaft“, die bis 1938 dauerte. Im Bundesarchiv in Berlin lagern 17 Briefe des Mädchens, die es – wahrscheinlich mit Hilfe der Mutter – zwischen dem 18. Januar 1935 und dem 12. November 1939 an den „Führer“ bzw. seinen Chefadjutanten Wilhelm Brückner schrieb:
Die Tatsache, dass Bernile wegen ihrer Großmutter als Vierteljüdin gelten konnte, war Hitler bereits 1933 durch einen Denunzianten bekannt geworden. Der „Führer“ fühlte sich dann aber anscheinend aus „einer rein menschlichen Einstellung dem Kinde gegenüber“ veranlasst, wie der Adjutant Fritz Wiedemann am 19. April 1938 den untergeordneten Parteistellen mitteilte, eine Ausnahme von den antisemitischen Nürnberger Rassegesetzen zu machen – eine Gnade, die er nur wenigen Juden, meistens Viertel- oder Halbjuden, angedeihen ließ. Als jedoch der Reichsminister Martin Bormann von der fehlenden „Deutschblütigkeit“ Berniles Wind bekam, verbot er Mutter und Tochter, weiterhin auf dem Berghof zu erscheinen. Hitler erfuhr davon auf Umwegen, weil sich sein Leibfotograf Heinrich Hoffmann darüber beschwerte, dass ihm Bormann untersagt hätte, weiterhin Fotos zu publizieren, die den Führer mit „seinem Kinde“ zeigten. In dem Buch Hitler wie ich ihn sah erzählt Hoffmann, dass Hitler zu dem Besuchsverbot Berniles durch Bormann gesagt haben soll: „Es gibt Leute, die ein wahres Talent haben, mir jede Freude zu verderben“. Während Hoffmanns Bildband Jugend um Hitler trotz Bormanns Intervention weiter verkauft werden durfte, war es allerdings mit dem persönlichen Kontakt der Familie Nienau zu den Mächtigen des Dritten Reichs seit ca. Mai 1938 vorbei. Die Mutter wurde offiziell gebeten, ihren Kontakt zu den Parteistellen einzustellen. Sie hatte versucht, ihre guten Beziehungen zum „Führer“ dazu zu benutzen, von der Ärztekammer eine höhere Witwenrente zu erkämpfen. Bernile, die den Beruf der technischen Zeichnerin erlernte, starb am 5. Oktober 1943 17-jährig im Schwabinger Krankenhaus an spinaler Kinderlähmung. Ihr Grab befindet sich auf dem Münchner Westfriedhof, wie die Journalistin Justina Schreiber in Zusammenarbeit mit dem Institut für Zeitgeschichte für eine Radiosendung des Bayerischen Rundfunks recherchierte.

Bernhardine Nienau (* April 20, 1926 in Dortmund; † October 5, 1943 in Munich), called Bernile, was a German student who became known as "the Führer's child" due to her close contact with Adolf Hitler.
Life
Bernhardine Nienau was born as the only child of doctor Bernhard Nienau (1887–1926) in Dortmund. Her father died shortly before her birth. The mother, nurse Karoline, née Helwig (March 15, 1892 – July 26, 1962), moved to Munich and bought a newly built house at Laimer Straße 31 in Nymphenburg around 1928. There, she also lived with Bernile's grandmother, the Roman Catholic teacher-widow of Jewish descent, Ida Voit, widowed or divorced Helwig, née Morgenstern (July 18, 1867 – December 29, 1942). Probably at the behest of her mother, Bernile pushed herself into the front rows of visitors in Obersalzberg in spring 1933 to attract Hitler's attention. This contact developed into a "friendship" that lasted until 1938. The Federal Archives in Berlin hold 17 letters from the girl, which she – probably with her mother’s help – wrote to the "Führer" or his chief adjutant Wilhelm Brückner between January 18, 1935, and November 12, 1939:
The fact that Bernile could be considered a quarter-Jewess because of her grandmother was already known to Hitler in 1933 through an informer. However, the "Führer" apparently felt compelled by "a purely human attitude towards the child," as Adjutant Fritz Wiedemann informed subordinate party offices on April 19, 1938, to make an exception to the anti-Semitic Nuremberg racial laws – a grace he granted only to a few Jews, mostly quarter- or half-Jews. However, when Reich Minister Martin Bormann learned about Bernile's lack of "German blood," he forbade mother and daughter from continuing to appear at the Berghof. Hitler learned about this indirectly because his personal photographer Heinrich Hoffmann complained that Bormann had forbidden him to publish further photos showing the Führer with "his child." In the book "Hitler as I Saw Him," Hoffmann recounts that Hitler supposedly said about the visitation ban on Bernile by Bormann: "There are people who have a real talent for ruining my every joy." While Hoffmann's photo book "Youth About Hitler" continued to be sold despite Bormann's intervention, the family's personal contact with the powers of the Third Reich ended around May 1938. The mother was officially asked to cease her contact with the party offices. She had tried to use her good relations with the "Führer" to obtain a higher widow’s pension from the Medical Association. Bernile, who trained as a technical draftsman, died on October 5, 1943, at the age of 17 in Schwabing Hospital from spinal polio. Her grave is located at the Munich West Cemetery, as journalist Justina Schreiber researched in cooperation with the Institute of Contemporary History for a Bavarian Broadcasting radio program.

Lorenzo Raggi
|
Lorenzo Raggi (1615 – 14 January 1687) was an Italian Catholic Cardinal.
Early life
Raggi was born in 1615 in Genoa. He was the nephew of Cardinal Ottaviano Raggi; elevated in 1641 by Pope Urban VIII.
He was educated in Rome and received a doctorate in philosophy. On 16 December 1641, the day his uncle became a cardinal, Raggi was appointed a cleric of the Apostolic Chamber. He later became that body's treasurer-general. He was appointed Commissary of the papal troops during the Wars of Castro and Intendant-General of the galleys of the Papal State.
At times when Cardinal Fausto Poli was not in Rome, Raggi acted at Majordomo of the papal household. Some historians have suggested that Urban intended to elevate Raggi to the cardinalate but was unable to prior to his illness and subsequent death in 1644.
In 1646, as treasurer of the Apostolic Chamber, Raggi ushered-in major changes to the way fees were calculated and collected, reforming processes that had been the subject of concern during Urban's reign and increasing accountability.
Cardinalate
Raggi was finally elevated to cardinal by Pope Innocent X on 7 October 1647 and was appointed cardinal-deacon of S. Maria in Domnica in December of that year. He acted temporarily as Camerlengo of the Holy Roman Church in 1650 during the absence of Cardinal Antonio Barberini. In 1653, he was appointed cardinal-deacon of Sant'Angelo in Pescheria. At the death of Innocent X in 1655, Raggi participated in the papal conclave that elected Pope Alexander VII.
Raggi became cardinal-deacon of Sant'Eustachio in 1660 and then cardinal-priest of Santi Quirico e Giulietta in 1664. In that same year he was appointed Cardinal-protector of Sicily, a position he held until his death.
He took part in the papal conclave of 1667 which elected Pope Clement IX, the conclave of 1669-70 which elected Pope Clement X the conclave of 1676 which elected Pope Innocent XI. He became cardinal-priest of San Lorenzo in Damaso 1679.
Bishopric
Twice he was offered archbishoprics by King Felipe IV of Spain, first Salerno and Taranto, but refused both. Instead he served as Legate in Romagna. Eventually he opted for a suburbicarian see and became Bishop of Palestrina in January 1680 and was consecrated only days later on 14 January by Cardinal Alderano Cybo.
Raggi died exactly 7 years later on 14 January 1687 in Ravenna and was buried in the Basilica of Sant'Apollinare Nuovo in that city.

Lorenzo Raggi (* 1615 in Genua; † 14. Januar 1687 in Ravenna) war ein italienischer Kardinal.
Biografie
Raggi war ein Neffe des 1641 von Papst Urban VIII. ernannten Kardinals Ottaviano Raggi. Seinen Unterricht erhielt er in Rom und er promovierte in Philosophie. Am 16. Dezember 1641, dem Tag, an dem sein Onkel Kardinal wurde, wurde Raggi zum Kleriker der Apostolischen Kammer ernannt. Später wurde er zum Generalschatzmeister dieses Gremiums ernannt. Er wurde Kommissär der päpstlichen Truppen während der Castro-Kriege und zum Generalintendanten der Galeeren des Kirchenstaates ernannt.
Während der Abwesenheit von Kardinal Fausto Poli von Rom agierte Raggi als Haushofmeister des päpstlichen Haushalts. Einige Historiker haben angedeutet, dass Urban beabsichtigte Raggi zum Kardinal zu erheben, aber wegen seiner Krankheit und dem späteren Tod im Jahr 1644 dazu nicht in der Lage war.
Als Schatzmeister der Apostolischen Kammer leitete Raggi 1646 große Veränderungen in der Art und Weise ein, wie die Gebühren berechnet und eingezogen wurden. Er reformierte Prozesse, die während der Herrschaft von Urban Anlass zur Sorge gegeben hatten, und erhöhte die Rechenschaftspflicht.
Raggi wurde am 7. Oktober 1647 von Papst Innozenz X. zum Kardinal erhoben und im Dezember desselben Jahres zum Kardinaldiakon von Santa Maria in Domnica ernannt. Während der Abwesenheit von Kardinal Antonio Barberini von Rom fungierte er 1650 vorübergehend als Camerlengo der Heiligen Römischen Kirche. Im Jahr 1653 wurde er zum Kardinaldiakon von Sant’Angelo in Pescheria ernannt. Nach dem Tod von Innozenz X. im Jahr 1655 nahm Raggi am Konklave teil, das Papst Alexander VII. wählte.
Raggi wurde 1660 Kardinaldiakon von Sant'Eustachio und 1664 Kardinalpriester von Santi Quirico e Giulietta. Im gleichen Jahr wurde er der Kronkardinal von Sizilien, ein Amt, das er bis zu seinem Tod innehatte.
Er nahm am Konklave 1667, welches Papst Clemens IX. wählte, am Konklave 1669–70, welches Papst Clemens X. wählte, und am Konklave 1676, welches Papst Innozenz XI. wählte, teil. 1679 wurde er Kardinalpriester von San Lorenzo in Damaso.
Zweimal bot ihm König Philipp IV. von Spanien Erzbistümer an, zuerst Salerno und Tarent, Raggi lehnte aber beide ab. Stattdessen diente er als Legat in der Romagna. Schließlich entschied er sich für ein Suburbikarisches Bistum und wurde im Januar 1680 Bischof von Palestrina. Die Bischofsweihe erfolgte am 14. Januar desselben Jahres durch Kardinal Alderano Cibo.
Raggi starb auf den Tag genau sieben Jahre später, am 14. Januar 1687, in Ravenna und wurde in der Basilika Sant’Apollinare Nuovo beigesetzt.

James „Jaime“ Staples (* 27. Mai 1991 in Calgary, Alberta) ist ein professioneller kanadischer Pokerspieler.
Persönliches
Staples stammt aus Lethbridge und begann dort ein Studium an der University of Lethbridge, das er jedoch für eine angestrebte Golfkarriere abbrach. 2017 zog er mit seiner Freundin nach Europa und lebte nacheinander in Split, Bukarest, auf Malta und in Harrogate. Staples ist seit November 2018 verlobt.
Im März 2017 ging Staples gemeinsam mit seinem Bruder Matthew eine Wette mit dem Multi-Millionär Bill Perkins ein. Um die Wette zu gewinnen, mussten sie es innerhalb eines Jahres schaffen, bei ihrem Körpergewicht auf eine Differenz von weniger als einem Kilogramm zu kommen. Bei Abschluss der Wette wog Jaime Staples rund 140 kg, sein Bruder Matthew dagegen lediglich 60 kg. In der Folge engagierten die Brüder Mike Vacanti als Fitnesstrainer und posteten regelmäßig Updates unter dem Hashtag UltimateSweat. Beim offiziellen Wiegen am 27. März 2018 wiesen beide das exakt gleiche Gewicht auf und machten somit aus einem Wetteinsatz von nur 3000 US-Dollar einen Gewinn von 150.000 US-Dollar.
Pokerkarriere
Staples begann unter dem Nickname jaimestaples auf dem Onlinepokerraum PokerStars um Spielgeld zu spielen. Im Juni 2013 war er bei der World Series of Poker (WSOP) im Rio All-Suite Hotel and Casino am Las Vegas Strip erfolgreich und kam beim Millionaire Maker ins Geld. Seit Oktober 2014 spielt er professionell Poker und begann, seine Turniere auf dem Videoportal Twitch zu streamen. Inzwischen hat Staples dort über 150.000 Follower. Aufgrund einiger hochdotierter Online-Turniersiege sowie seinem Status auf Twitch wurde Staples im April 2015 als Friend of PokerStars ins Team PokerStars aufgenommen. Anschließend war er bis Februar 2019 Teil des Team Pro Online auf PokerStars. Ende Februar 2018 wurde er bei den American Poker Awards in Los Angeles als Poker Streamer of the Year 2017 ausgezeichnet. Seit März 2019 ist Staples Markenbotschafter von partypoker.
Mitte Februar 2016 erreichte Staples beim Main Event der European Poker Tour die Geldränge und belegte in Dublin von 605 Spielern den 43. Platz für rund 11.000 Euro. Bei der WSOP 2016 kam er einmal ins Geld und landete beim Colossus, dem größten Turnier der Serie, auf dem 1936. Platz für mehr als 1000 US-Dollar. Mitte Januar 2017 erreichte Staples auch bei der ersten Austragung der PokerStars Championship (PSC) die Geldränge und belegte im Main Event auf den Bahamas den 27. Platz für ein Preisgeld von 19.000 US-Dollar. Bei der PSC Barcelona Ende August 2017 gewann Staples ein Turboturnier der Variante Pot Limit Omaha und damit sein erstes Live-Turnier sowie eine Siegprämie von über 20.000 Euro.
Insgesamt hat sich Staples mit Poker bei Live-Turnieren mehr als 100.000 US-Dollar und online über 1,5 Millionen US-Dollar erspielt.

Gregg Giuffria (* 28. Juli 1955 in den USA) ist ein US-amerikanischer Keyboarder des melodischen Hard-Rock-Genres. Er stilisierte sich als Tastenvirtuose des „Hair Metal“.
Leben
Seine erste Band Angel, die er schon in Highschool-Jahren Mitte der 1970er Jahre gegründet hatte, bekam nie die erhoffte Aufmerksamkeit, weshalb sie 1981 die Segel strich.
Zu Anfang der 1980er Jahre gründete er die nach ihm benannte AOR-Band Giuffria, mit der er zwei Platten veröffentlichte, darunter die von der Kritik gelobte, aber kommerziell erfolglose Silk & Steel. Unter der Regie und Produktion von Gene Simmons benannte sich die Band in House of Lords um und trennte sich von Sänger David Glen Eisley. Als Ersatz für ihn wurde der Rocksänger James Christian aus Los Angeles verpflichtet und Gene Simmons nahm die Band für sein eigenes Musiklabel Simmons Records unter Vertrag.
Gregg Giuffria wirkte später als Gastmusiker auf dem Album The Final Frontier der US-Metal-Band Keel mit. Im Jahr 2006 reformierten sich House of Lords um Sänger James Christian, jedoch ohne Giuffria, der nur als Studiomusiker am neuen Album beteiligt war.
Giuffria ist mit der Schauspielerin April Clough verheiratet.

Gregg Giuffria (born July 28, 1955, in the USA) is an American keyboardist of the melodic hard rock genre. He styled himself as a keyboard virtuoso of "Hair Metal."
Life
His first band Angel, which he had founded in high school in the mid-1970s, never received the hoped-for attention, which is why they disbanded in 1981.
In the early 1980s, he founded the eponymous AOR band Giuffria, with which he released two albums, including the critically acclaimed but commercially unsuccessful Silk & Steel. Under the direction and production of Gene Simmons, the band was renamed House of Lords and parted ways with singer David Glen Eisley. As a replacement, the rock singer James Christian from Los Angeles was hired, and Gene Simmons signed the band to his own music label, Simmons Records.
Gregg Giuffria later appeared as a guest musician on the album The Final Frontier by the American metal band Keel. In 2006, House of Lords reformed with singer James Christian, but without Giuffria, who only participated as a studio musician on the new album.
Giuffria is married to actress April Clough.

Her youngest sister Charlotte married George III of the United Kingdom, whilst two of her brothers, Adolphus and Charles, were regents of Mecklenburg-Strelitz. During his Grand Tour through Europe in 1761, she met John Ker, 3rd Duke of Roxburghe, but as her younger sister Charlotte was already married to George III, protocol forbade them from marrying, and ultimately both Christiane and Ker never married.
Christiane lived in Neustrelitz with her unmarried brother Adolphus Frederick IV and represented him on some occasions. She met Thomas Nugent there in 1767. Remaining in Neustrelitz, in her later life Christiane became a canoness of Herford Abbey. On 13 January 1766 she was made a Dame, 1st Class of the Order of St Catherine. The almond eyes seen in her portraits may indicate that she had a disease of the thyroid, possibly Graves' disease, which causes the eyeballs to expand. Adolphus Frederick died in June 1794 and was buried in the royal crypt at Mirow; Christiane followed on 31 August 1794. Fritz Reuter portrayed her as Prinzess Christel or Christel-Swester in his Dörchläuchting (1866).

Christiane zu Mecklenburg
|
Christiane Herzogin zu Mecklenburg (-Strelitz), vollständiger Name Christiane/a Sophie/a Albertine/a, auch Christina, allgemein Prinzess Christel genannt (* 6. Dezember 1735 in Mirow; † 31. August 1794 in Neustrelitz), war eine Angehörige des herzoglichen Hauses von Mecklenburg-Strelitz.
Leben
Prinzessin Christiane war das älteste Kind des in Mirow apanagierten Prinzen Karl (Ludwig Friedrich) und der Elisabeth Albertine, geb. Prinzessin von Sachsen-Hildburghausen. Zwei ihrer Brüder wurden Regenten von Mecklenburg-Strelitz: Adolf Friedrich IV. (Mecklenburg) und Karl II. (Mecklenburg). Ihre Schwester (Sophie) Charlotte wurde als Frau von Georg III. Königin von Großbritannien.
Zusammen mit ihren Geschwistern erhielt sie in Mirow eine umfassende Erziehung, unter anderem durch Friderike Elisabeth von Grabow und Gottlob Burchard Genzmer. Sie soll fließend Latein, Griechisch und Französisch beherrscht haben und las mit Vorliebe Schriftsteller des klassischen Altertums in der Ursprache.
Bei seiner Grand Tour durch Europa im Jahr 1761, die auch der Brautschau für Georg III. diente, verliebte sich John Ker, 3rd Duke of Roxburghe in sie. Die Heirat ihrer jüngeren Schwester Charlotte mit König Georg III. machte diese Verbindung jedoch protokollarisch unmöglich; beide blieben daraufhin ihr Leben lang unverheiratet.
Christiane lebte bei ihrem ebenfalls unverheirateten Bruder Adolf Friedrich IV. in Neustrelitz und übernahm repräsentative Aufgaben. 1767 traf Thomas Nugent sie hier; später wurde sie Kanonissin im Stift Herford, behielt ihre Residenz jedoch in Neustrelitz. Seit dem 13. Januar 1766 war sie Dame des Russischen Ordens der Heiligen Katharina, 1. Klasse.
Sie starb kurz nach ihrem Bruder Adolf Friedrich und wurde in der Fürstengruft in Mirow beigesetzt.
Literarische Figur
Fritz Reuter setzte ihr als Prinzess Christel bzw. Christel-Swester im Dörchläuchting (1866) ein literarisches Denkmal.

Christiane, Duchess of Mecklenburg (-Strelitz), full name Christiane/Sophie/Albertine, also called Christina, commonly known as Princess Christel, was born on December 6, 1735, in Mirow; died on August 31, 1794, in Neustrelitz. She was a member of the ducal house of Mecklenburg-Strelitz.
Life
Princess Christiane was the eldest child of Prince Karl (Ludwig Friedrich), who was apanaged in Mirow, and Elisabeth Albertine, née Princess of Saxe-Hildburghausen. Two of her brothers became regents of Mecklenburg-Strelitz: Adolf Friedrich IV (Mecklenburg) and Karl II (Mecklenburg). Her sister (Sophie) Charlotte became Queen of Great Britain as the wife of George III.
Together with her siblings, she received a comprehensive education in Mirow, including instruction from Friderike Elisabeth von Grabow and Gottlob Burchard Genzmer. She is said to have spoken Latin, Greek, and French fluently and enjoyed reading classical writers in their original languages.
During his Grand Tour of Europe in 1761, which also served as a marriage prospecting trip for George III, John Ker, 3rd Duke of Roxburghe, fell in love with her. However, her younger sister Charlotte's marriage to King George III made this connection protocol-wise impossible; both remained unmarried for the rest of their lives.
Christiane lived with her also unmarried brother Adolf Friedrich IV in Neustrelitz and took on representative duties. In 1767, she met Thomas Nugent there; later, she became a canoness at the Abbey of Herford but kept her residence in Neustrelitz. Since January 13, 1766, she was a Dame of the Russian Order of Saint Catherine, 1st Class.
She died shortly after her brother Adolf Friedrich and was buried in the princely crypt in Mirow.

Fritz Reuter paid tribute to her as Princess Christel or Christel Sister in his work "Dörchläuchting" (1866).

Adegboyega Folaranmi Adedoyin
|
Omoba Adegboyega Folaranmi Adedoyin, M.D. (11 September 1922 – January 2014) was a Nigerian-born British high jumper and long jumper, who became the first Nigerian to compete in an Olympics final in 1948.
Personal life
He was born in Shagamu, Ogun, the second son of the local king. He came to the United Kingdom in 1942 to study at Queen's University of Belfast where he graduated in medicine in 1949.
Athletics career
He won the 1947 AAA Championships in Loughborough in the high jump with a clearance of 1.93 metres. Adedoyin featured in a 1947 newsreel by Pathé News focusing on university sports. In the footage, he is described as 'a good bet to represent Britain at the Olympic Games'.
He went on to compete in the 1948 Summer Olympics, both in the high jump and the long jump. In the high jump, on 30 July, he qualified for the final, as one of 20 competitors who made it past the qualifying round, where a height of 1.87 metres was needed to qualify. The sheer number of competitors in the high jump meant that the event seemed endless. In the final he jumped 1.90 metres on his third attempt to come twelfth – if he had cleared it on his first attempt he could have finished as high as sixth. A day later in the long jump, he qualified by virtue of placing in the top twelve in the qualifying round as less than twelve athletes reached the qualifying distance of 7.20 metres, with only five reaching it in the final. Adedoyin was one of these, placing fifth with a jump of 7.27 metres.
His personal best jumps were 1.969 metres in the high jump (1949) and 7.35 metres in the long jump (1947).
Life after athletics
After the Olympics, he went back to Nigeria to practise as an obstetrician-gynaecologist.
He died in January 2014.

Adegboyega Folaranmi Adedoyin (* 11. September 1922 in Shagamu, Nigeria; † 31. Januar 2014 in Abeokuta, Nigeria) war ein nigerianischer Weitspringer.
Werdegang
Adegboyega Folaranmi Adedoyin wurde 1922 als Sohn eines Häuptlings des Stammes der Ijebu im nigerianischen Bundesstaat Ogun geboren. 1939 reiste er in das Vereinigte Königreich und begann ein Medizinstudium an der Queen’s University Belfast. 1942 machte er seinen Abschluss und kehrte in sein Heimatland, das zu dieser Zeit eine britische Kolonie war, zurück. Adedoyin praktizierte hier in Obstetrik und Gynäkologie.
Karriere als Sportler
Als Sportler wandte sich Adedoyin der Leichtathletik zu und begann Hoch- und Weitsprung zu trainieren. 1947 konnte er die britischen Meisterschaften im Hochsprung mit 1,93 m gewinnen.
Für die Olympischen Spiele 1948 in London wurde Adedoyin in die Mannschaft des Vereinigten Königreiches nominiert. Nigeria war zu dieser Zeit Kolonie und hatte kein eigenes NOK. Adedoyin wurde für den Hochsprung und den Weitsprung gemeldet. Am 30. Juli begann der Hochsprung-Wettbewerb mit einer Qualifikationsrunde am Vormittag. Gefordert waren 1,87 m, die Adedoyin schaffte und somit ins Finale am Nachmittag einzog. Hier erreichte er mit 1,90 m Rang 12. Am folgenden Tag fand der Weitsprung-Wettbewerb statt. Auch hier gab es am Vormittag eine Qualifikationsrunde, bei der eine Weite von 7,20 m gefordert war. Adedoyin schaffte zwar nur 7,13 m, zog jedoch als einer der Lucky Loser ins Finale ein. Hier erreichte er mit 7,27 m Platz 5 und war damit der beste Europäer hinter drei US-Amerikanern und einem Australier. Adedoyin war damit der erste nigerianische Athlet, der ein olympisches Finale erreichte.
Adedoyin gewann in der Folgezeit weitere Wettbewerbe in beiden Disziplinen bei Universitätswettkämpfen im Vereinigten Königreich.
Bestleistungen
Adedoyins Bestleistung im Hochsprung lag bei 1,97 m, die er 1949 erzielte. Im Weitsprung schaffte er 7,35 m im Jahr 1947.
Späterer Lebenslauf
Später kehrte Adedoyin nach Nigeria zurück und praktizierte dort weiter als Frauenarzt. 2012 wurde er von der Regierung des Bundesstaates Ogun für seine Verdienste als Sportler geehrt.

Adegboyega Folaranmi Adedoyin (* September 11, 1922 in Shagamu, Nigeria; † January 31, 2014 in Abeokuta, Nigeria) was a Nigerian long jumper.
Career
Adegboyega Folaranmi Adedoyin was born in 1922 as the son of a chief of the Ijebu tribe in the Nigerian state of Ogun. In 1939, he traveled to the United Kingdom and began studying medicine at Queen’s University Belfast. He graduated in 1942 and returned to his homeland, which at that time was a British colony. Adedoyin practiced obstetrics and gynecology there.
Athletic Career
As an athlete, Adedoyin turned to athletics and began training in high jump and long jump. In 1947, he won the British championships in high jump with 1.93 meters.
For the 1948 Olympic Games in London, Adedoyin was nominated to the team of the United Kingdom. Nigeria was a colony at the time and had no own National Olympic Committee (NOC). Adedoyin was entered in the high jump and long jump events. On July 30, the high jump competition began with a qualification round in the morning. The required height was 1.87 meters, which Adedoyin cleared, thus qualifying for the final in the afternoon. There, he achieved a height of 1.90 meters, finishing 12th. The following day, the long jump competition took place. There was also a qualification round in the morning, with a required distance of 7.20 meters. Although Adedoyin only managed 7.13 meters, he advanced to the final as one of the lucky losers. In the final, he achieved 7.27 meters, placing 5th and becoming the best European after three Americans and an Australian. Adedoyin was thus the first Nigerian athlete to reach an Olympic final.
Subsequently, Adedoyin won further competitions in both disciplines at university events in the United Kingdom.
Personal Bests
Adedoyin’s best high jump was 1.97 meters, achieved in 1949. In the long jump, he managed 7.35 meters in 1947.
Later Life
Later, Adedoyin returned to Nigeria and continued practicing as an obstetrician and gynecologist. In 2012, he was honored by the government of Ogun State for his achievements as an athlete.

François Barbé-Marbois
|
François Barbé-Marbois, marquis de Barbé-Marbois (31 January 1745 – 12 February 1837) was a French politician.
Early career
Born in Metz, where his father was director of the local mint, Barbé-Marbois tutored the children of the Marquis de Castries. In 1779 he was made secretary of the French legation to the United States. In 1780, Barbé-Marbois sent a questionnaire to the governors of all thirteen former American colonies, seeking information about each state's geography, natural resources, history, and government. Thomas Jefferson, who was then finishing his final term as Virginia's governor, responded to this query with a manuscript that later became his famous Notes on the State of Virginia.
Barbé-Marbois was elected a Foreign Honorary Member to both the American Academy of Arts and Sciences and the American Philosophical Society in 1781. When the minister Chevalier de la Luzerne returned to France in 1783, Barbé-Marbois remained in America as chargé d'affaires in 1784. That year he married Elizabeth Moore (1765–1834), the daughter of William Moore, former governor of Pennsylvania.
In 1785 he became intendant of the colony of Saint-Domingue under the Ancien Régime.
In the Revolution
At the close of 1789, he returned to France, and then placed his services at the disposal of the French Revolutionary government. In 1791 he was sent to Regensburg to help the Marquis de Noailles, the French ambassador. Suspected of treason, he was arrested on his return but soon freed.
In 1795 he was elected to the Council of the Ancients, where the general moderation of his attitude, especially in his opposition to the exclusion of nobles and the relations of émigrés from public life, brought him under suspicion of being a royalist, though he pronounced a eulogy on Napoleon Bonaparte for his success in Italy.
During the anti-Royalist coup d'état of the 18th Fructidor (4 September) 1797, he was arrested and transported to French Guiana. Transferred to the island of Oléron in 1799, he was set free by Napoleon Bonaparte after the 18 Brumaire Coup. In 1801, under the Consulate, he became councillor of state and director of the Trésor public (Treasury), and in 1802 a senator.
In 1803 he negotiated the Louisiana Purchase treaty by which Louisiana was ceded to the United States, and was rewarded by the First Consul with a gift of 152,000 francs.
Empire, Restoration, and July Monarchy
Loyal to the First Empire, he was made grand officer of the Legion of Honour and a count in 1805, and in 1808 he became president of the Cour des Comptes. His career as Head of the Treasury ended in 1806. In return for these favours, he heaped praise upon Napoleon; yet, in 1814, he helped to draw up the act of abdication of the emperor, and declared to the Cour des Comptes, with reference to the invasion of France by the Sixth Coalition:
"...united for the most beautiful of causes, it is long since we have been as free as we are now, in the presence of the foreigner in arms."
In June of that year, under the First Restoration, Barbé-Marbois was made Peer of France by King Louis XVIII, and confirmed in his office as president of the Cour des Comptes. Deprived of his positions by Napoleon during the Hundred Days, he was appointed Minister of Justice under the Duc de Richelieu (August 1815), tried unsuccessfully to gain the confidence of the Ultra-Royalists, and withdrew at the end of nine months (10 May 1816).
In 1830, when the July Revolution brought Louis Philippe and the Orléans Monarchy, Barbé-Marbois went, as president of the Cour des Comptes, to compliment the new king, and was confirmed in his position. He held his office until April 1834.
Works
In 1829 he wrote the book Histoire de la Louisiane et la cession de cette colonie par la France aux Etats-Unis de l'Amérique septentrionale; précédée d'un discours sur la constitution et le gouvernement des Etats-Unis ("History of Louisiana and of Its Cession to the United States of Northern America; Preceded by a Discourse on the Constitution and Government of the United States").
He published various texts, including:
Reflexions sur la colonie de Saint-Domingue ("Thought on the Colony of Saint-Domingue", 1794)
De la Guyane, etc. ("On [French] Guiana", 1822)
Journal d'un deporté non-jugé ("Diary of a Non-Tried Deportee", 2 vols., 1834)
Written in 1780, while secretary to the French legation to the US Army: "D'Complot du Benedict Arnold & Sir Henri Clinton contre Eunas` States du America General George Washington", one of the first accounts of Arnold's treason, was not published until 1816.

François Barbé-Marbois
|
François Marquis de Barbé-Marbois (* 31. Januar 1745 in Metz; † 12. Februar 1837 in Paris) war ein französischer Politiker.
Leben
Barbé-Marbois war der Sohn eines ehemaligen Großhändlers. Unterstützt durch den Marquis de Castries, dessen Kinder er betreute, trat er in den diplomatischen Dienst ein und war von 1768 bis 1779 in Regensburg, Dresden und am kurbayerischen Hof in München als Gesandtschaftssekretär und Chargé d’Affaires eingesetzt. 1777 wurde er zum ordentlichen Mitglied der Bayerischen Akademie der Wissenschaften gewählt. Als sein Vorgesetzter zum Minister der Vereinigten Staaten ernannt wurde, hatte er die Gelegenheit, diesen nach Philadelphia zu begleiten. Zu Beginn der Unabhängigkeitsbewegung wurde er ein Freund von George Washington und heiratete im Jahr 1784 die Tochter von William Moore, eines Kaufmanns und Bankiers, der zudem Vorsitzender des Executive Council of Pennsylvania war.
Barbé-Marbois wurde mit der Aufgabe betraut, die acht französischen Konsulate von Boston bis Charleston zu organisieren. Mit der Protektion durch den Marquis de Castries (inzwischen Marschall und Marineminister) und Anne César de La Luzerne (Bruder von César Henri de La Luzerne, dem Gouverneur der Iles-sous-le-Vent) wurde er 1785 mit der Position des Generalsuperintendenten der Kolonie Saint-Domingue versehen. Die weiße Bevölkerung der Insel lehnte sich gegen die Maßnahmen auf, die Ludwig XVI. zugunsten der dunkelhäutigen Bevölkerung in Kraft gesetzt hatte. Sie stritten beispielsweise für den Erhalt der exklusiven Rechte des Mehlhandels, da die aus Frankreich importierten Waren oftmals mehr als doppelt so teuer verkauft wurden, wie die einheimischen Produkte. Daher hatte Barbé-Marbois keinen leichten Stand bei den Siedlern, zumal er genau in der Zeit des Aufstandes am 26. Oktober 1789 dort eintraf.
Als er im Alter von 44 Jahren nach Frankreich zurückkehrte, verlor er zudem den bisherigen Beschützer Saint-Domingues, den Marquis de La Luzerne, der 1791 in London starb. Ohne seinen bisherigen Vorgesetzten wurde er zunächst als Bevollmächtigter im Amt für auswärtige Angelegenheiten nach Regensburg und anschließend nach Wien entsandt. Beim Ausbruch des Krieges quittierte er für drei Jahre den Dienst, unter anderem, um seine Erinnerungen aufzuschreiben.
1795 wurde er mit der Unterstützung seines Schwagers Franz Christoph Kellermann, der seine Schwester geheiratet hatte, zum Bürgermeister von Metz ernannt. Im Oktober des Jahres wurde er zudem in den Ältestenrat (eine Kammer des Parlaments während des Direktoriums) gewählt, wo er einen ausgesprochen reaktionären Haltung nahm. Diese brachte ihn in Verdacht, ein Royalist zu sein, obwohl er eine Lobrede auf Napoleons Erfolg in Italien gehalten hatte. Nach dem Staatsstreich des 18. Fructidor V (4. September 1797) wurde er verhaftet und nach Sinnamary (Französisch-Guayana) deportiert. Seine Erfahrungen im tropischen Klima kamen ihm hier zugute, so dass er diese Zeit besser überstand als einige seiner Gefährten. Seine Frau verblieb in Frankreich und starb im Jahre 1834.
1799 kam er auf die Île d’Oléron. Nach dem Staatsstreich des 18. Brumaire VIII (9. November 1799), durch den Napoleon an die Macht kam, verdankte er dem neuen Herrscher seine Freiheit. Während seiner Zeit in Ältestenrat hatte sich Barbé-Marbois mit Charles-François Lebrun angefreundet, der sich an ihn erinnerte. Durch seine internationale Erfahrung wurde er nach dem Tode von Bertrand Dufresne im Februar 1801, unter dem Schutz Lebruns als „Directeur du Trésor public“ (Direktor des öffentlichen Schatzamtes) eingesetzt. 1802 wurde Barbé-Marbois, der als gewissenhaft und ehrlich galt, Senator. 1803 verhandelte er den Louisiana Purchase, durch den große Gebiete in Nordamerika an die Vereinigten Staaten verkauft wurden. Napoleon belohnte ihn dafür mit 152.000 Francs. 1805 wurde er Offizier der Ehrenlegion und Graf. Das Scheitern in der Schlacht von Trafalgar am 21. Oktober 1805 führte am 27. Januar 1806 zur Entlassung von Barbé-Marbois. 1808 wurde er Präsident des Rechnungshofes. Er half 1814 mit, die Abdankungsurkunde für den Kaiser aufzusetzen. Im Juni 1814 machte ihn Ludwig XVIII. zum Pair von Frankreich und bestätigte ihn in seinem Amt als Präsident des Rechnungshofes. Durch Napoleon während der Hundert Tage seiner Ämter beraubt, wurde er im August 1815 Justizminister in der Regierung des Duc de Richelieu. In diesem Amt versuchte er vergeblich, das Vertrauen der Ultra-Royalisten zu erhalten und trat nach neun Monaten am 10. Mai 1816 wieder zurück. Als Louis Philippe mit der Julimonarchie 1830 die Regierung übernahm, machte ihm Barbé-Marbois als Präsident des Rechnungshofes seine Aufwartung und wurde im Amt bestätigt. Dies war die sechste Regierung, der er bis zu seinem Ausscheiden aus dem Amt im April 1834 diente. 1816 wurde er Mitglied der Académie des Inscriptions et Belles-Lettres.

François Marquis de Barbé-Marbois (* January 31, 1745 in Metz; † February 12, 1837 in Paris) was a French politician.
Life
Barbé-Marbois was the son of a former wholesale merchant. Supported by Marquis de Castries, whose children he cared for, he entered the diplomatic service and was stationed from 1768 to 1779 in Regensburg, Dresden, and at the Electorate of Bavaria court in Munich as a diplomatic secretary and Chargé d’Affaires. In 1777, he was elected an ordinary member of the Bavarian Academy of Sciences. When his superior was appointed Minister of the United States, he had the opportunity to accompany him to Philadelphia. At the beginning of the independence movement, he became friends with George Washington and married in 1784 the daughter of William Moore, a merchant and banker who was also chairman of the Executive Council of Pennsylvania.
Barbé-Marbois was tasked with organizing the eight French consulates from Boston to Charleston. With the protection of Marquis de Castries (by then Marshal and Minister of the Navy) and Anne César de La Luzerne (brother of César Henri de La Luzerne, governor of the Islands of the Vents), he was appointed in 1785 as General Superintendent of the colony of Saint-Domingue. The white population of the island opposed the measures enacted by Louis XVI in favor of the dark-skinned population. For example, they fought to maintain the exclusive rights of the flour trade, as goods imported from France were often sold at more than double the price of local products. Therefore, Barbé-Marbois did not have an easy time with the settlers, especially since he arrived there during the uprising on October 26, 1789.
When he returned to France at the age of 44, he also lost his previous protector of Saint-Domingue, Marquis de La Luzerne, who died in London in 1791. Without his former superior, he was initially sent as plenipotentiary in the Department of Foreign Affairs to Regensburg and later to Vienna. When the war broke out, he resigned his service for three years, among other reasons to write his memoirs.
In 1795, with the support of his brother-in-law Franz Christoph Kellermann, who had married his sister, he was appointed mayor of Metz. In October of that year, he was also elected to the Council of Elders (a chamber of the Parliament during the Directory), where he adopted a decidedly reactionary stance. This led to suspicion that he was a royalist, despite having given a laudatory speech on Napoleon's success in Italy. After the coup of 18 Fructidor V (September 4, 1797), he was arrested and deported to Sinnamary (French Guiana). His experiences in the tropical climate helped him endure this period better than some of his companions. His wife remained in France and died in 1834.
In 1799, he was sent to Île d’Oléron. After the coup of 18 Brumaire VIII (November 9, 1799), through which Napoleon came to power, he owed his freedom to the new ruler. During his time in the Council of Elders, Barbé-Marbois had befriended Charles-François Lebrun, who remembered him. Due to his international experience, after the death of Bertrand Dufresne in February 1801, he was appointed under Lebrun's protection as “Directeur du Trésor public” (Director of the Public Treasury). In 1802, Barbé-Marbois, considered conscientious and honest, became a senator. In 1803, he negotiated the Louisiana Purchase, through which large territories in North America were sold to the United States. Napoleon rewarded him with 152,000 Francs. In 1805, he was made an officer of the Legion of Honor and a count. The failure at the Battle of Trafalgar on October 21, 1805, led to his dismissal on January 27, 1806. In 1808, he became President of the Court of Accounts. In 1814, he helped draft the abdication document for the Emperor. In June 1814, Louis XVIII made him a Peer of France and confirmed him in his position as President of the Court of Accounts. Deprived of his offices during Napoleon's Hundred Days, he became Minister of Justice in the government of the Duc de Richelieu in August 1815. In this role, he unsuccessfully tried to maintain the trust of the Ultra-Royalists and resigned after nine months on May 10, 1816. When Louis Philippe took over the government with the July Monarchy in 1830, Barbé-Marbois paid him a visit as President of the Court of Accounts and was confirmed in office. This was the sixth government he served until his retirement in April 1834. In 1816, he became a member of the Académie des Inscriptions et Belles-Lettres.
