This code was later adopted as a city code to refer to both New Chitose and the smaller Okadama Airport in central Sapporo, which handles commuter flights within Hokkaido.


title: New Chitose Airport

text: New Chitose became Japan's first 24-hour airport in 1994. Services between 10 PM and 7 AM are currently limited to six flights per day due to noise alleviation concerns. Four of these slots are currently used by passenger flights to Tokyo while the other two are used by cargo flights.

After the success of their songs 'Chrissy Wake Up' and 'It's Corn' in the summer of 2022, NPR reported that that they "are responsible for some of the biggest viral songs of the past decade."


title: The Gregory Brothers

text: They are best known for their creation of musical viral videos, most notably the "Winning" song that won a 2012 Comedy Award, their "Songify the News" series (formerly known as "Auto-Tune the News"), and the "Bed Intruder Song" that received over 141 million YouTube views and entered the "Billboard" Hot 100. Their recent releases, "Who's It Gonna Be?" with Weird Al Yankovic and "The Last Fight" with Joseph Gordon-Levitt, parodied the two US presidential debates of 2020.


title: The Gregory Brothers

text: The three Gregory brothers – drummer/keyboardist Michael, guitarist/bassist Andrew Rose and keyboardist Evan – originally from Radford, Virginia, moved to Brooklyn, New York in the mid-2000s and met guitarist/bassist Sarah Fullen (who married Evan in 2009) in the local music scene. The band was formed in 2007, with all four members providing vocals, often accompanying "songified" individuals.


title: The Gregory Brothers

text: After 10 years of activity, having earned the most views by songifying the likes of Antoine Dodson, Charlie Sheen, Paul Vasquez and Daymon Patterson, their Schmoyoho channel reached three million subscribers in March 2017. In commemoration, the Gregory Brothers released a "mega-mashup" of their work, in which they outlined their main goal of eliciting "the maximum amount of happiness for the maximum amount of time".


title: The Gregory Brothers

text: The Gregory Brothers (using the YouTube username 'schmoyoho') first became well known for a series of YouTube videos, "Auto-Tune the News" (rebranded in 2011 as "Songify the News"), in which recorded voices of politicians, news anchors, and political pundits were digitally manipulated to conform to a melody, making the figures appear to sing.


title: The Gregory Brothers

title: The Gregory Brothers

text: The group released their first EP, "Meet the Gregory Brothers!", on May 29, 2009. Village Voice music writer Ben Westhoff characterized the effort as "a lounge-y, refreshingly sincere slice of blue-eyed soul", and Jake Frazier of "PopSense" praised the work, claiming that it "[brought] more to the table than the other 1000+ songs [in his music library]". Westhoff opined that "unfortunately, many of the Brothers' new fans have no patience for anything that's not "Auto-Tune the News"", though the group itself takes a broader view of its fans' tastes, believing that "there will definitely be some fans who found us through our videos, and who will be disappointed when they hear our records and they're not a bunch of hip-hop political parodies…[but] most people get that we are capable of creating music in different styles, and can appreciate our folky soul jams for what they are."


title: The Gregory Brothers

text: While many of the Gregory Brothers' "Songify" singles are published through YouTube, their music videos of candidates during United States presidential elections were also released as albums in 2012 and 2016. These were created by songifying audio from presidential debates and media appearances. "The Atlantic"s Kasia Cieplak-Mayr von Baldegg described the 2012 debate tracks as "surprisingly polished, if not as hilarious as their big hits." Noah Houghton of "The Harvard Crimson" applauded the quality and novelty of the 2016 album, adding that "the production on every song in the album is great without exception."


title: The Gregory Brothers

text: A series of covers of popular songs were arranged, performed and shared by the Gregory Brothers through Vine, Facebook and YouTube. Somewhat uniquely, these covers switched the key of the song between major and minor, giving otherwise happy songs a melancholy tone while sad songs sounded more joyful.

text: Edward Edgar Lowery (October 14, 1902 – May 4, 1984) was an American caddie, amateur golfer and multi-millionaire businessman.


title: Eddie Lowery

text: Lowery is best known as the 10-year-old caddie of Francis Ouimet during the 1913 U.S. Open, held at The Country Club in Brookline, Massachusetts, which Ouimet won in a playoff over Harry Vardon and Ted Ray. An iconic photograph of Lowery and Ouimet striding down the fairway together is one of the most memorable in American golf history. It was used as the logo for the United States Golf Association's centennial celebrations, appears on the cover of Mark Frost's account of the 1913 Open "The Greatest Game Ever Played: Harry Vardon, Francis Ouimet, and the Birth of Modern Golf" and inspired a memorial statue in Brookline. Lowery was prominently featured in the 2005 Disney movie "The Greatest Game Ever Played", portrayed by actor Josh Flitter.


title: Eddie Lowery

text: Lowery and Ouimet remained lifelong friends, and when Ouimet died in 1967, Lowery was one of the pallbearers.


title: Eddie Lowery

text: Lowery was the fifth child born to John and Maria Lowery (née Curran), who were Irish immigrants who lived in Newton, Massachusetts. He moved to San Francisco, California, and championed the rising amateur careers of Ken Venturi (1964 U.S. Open Champion), Harvie Ward (1955 & 1956 U.S. Amateur Champion), and Tony Lema (1964 British Open Champion), among others. Lowery played at San Francisco Golf Club in San Francisco. He died in 1984 in Riverside County, California, and is buried at El Carmelo cemetery in Pacific Grove, California.


title: Eddie Lowery

text: He became a multi-millionaire as an auto dealer in San Francisco. Lowery and Bob Hope were friends and they both played in the 1951 British Amateur. He enjoyed sponsoring young amateur golfers, such as two of his employees: Venturi and Ward. In 1956 he arranged a match between these two amateurs and two golf pros, Ben Hogan and Byron Nelson, a friendly four-ball match at Cypress Point Club. The amateurs played a strong game but the pros took the match, 1-up. Venturi told a newspaper years later, "It was the best golf I've ever seen." This match was chronicled in depth in Mark Frost's 2007 book "The Match".


title: Eddie Lowery

text: Lowery also served on the executive committee of the United States Golf Association. His sponsorship of Harvie Ward led to problems, because Lowery had claimed certain disallowable business expenses for tax write-offs. And Ward, who had trusted Lowery's USGA expertise, had his amateur status revoked in 1957, at a time when he had won the previous two consecutive U.S. Amateur titles.

title: Lavender's Blue

text: There are as many as thirty verses to the song, and many variations of each verse. A typical version, described by James Halliwell in 1849, is:


title: Lavender's Blue

text: The earliest surviving version of the song is in a broadside printed in England between 1672 and 1679, under the name "Diddle Diddle, Or The Kind Country Lovers". The broadside indicates it is to be sung to the tune of "Lavender Green", implying that a tune by that name was already in existence. The lyrics printed in the broadside are fairly bawdy, celebrating sex and drinking.


title: Lavender's Blue

text: According to Robert B. Waltz, "The singer tells his lady that she must love him because he loves her. He tells of a vale where young man and maid have lain together, and suggests that they might do the same". Waltz cites Sandra Stahl Dolby as describing this broadside version as being about a girl named Nell keeping the singer's bed warm.


title: Lavender's Blue

text: Both Waltz (citing Eloise Hubbard Linscott) and Halliwell have noted the song's association with Twelfth Night and the choosing of the king and queen of the festivities of that holiday.

This version was nominated for Academy Award for Best Original Song in 1949. This version of the song was credited to Eliot Daniel (music) and Larry Morey (lyrics). "Lavender Blue" was one of 400 nominees for the American Film Institute's "100 Years... 100 Songs" list of the 100 greatest film songs, which was presented on a television program of that name which aired on June 22, 2004, but it didn't make the final list. The appearance of "Lavender Blue" in the Disney film sparked a revival of interest in the song.


title: Lavender's Blue

text: Ives' version of "Lavender Blue" was recorded in December 1948 and released as a single in January 1949. As was common for pop songs in those days, several other singers released versions at near the same time. Sammy Kaye also released a version in 1949, which charted at No. 5, as did Dinah Shore (her version went to No. 1 on the Australian chart and was the title track of her album "Lavender Blue"). Vera Lynn's version of "Lavender Blue" was issued on the B side of her single "Again", which reached the "Billboard" magazine Best Seller chart on January 21, 1949.

Tommy Bruce made a single of it in 1963, and The Fleetwoods recorded a version in 1965. In 1975, the song was interpreted by Leon Russell and Mary Russell for their "Wedding Album", and the next year the British early music revival group The City Waites recorded the original 17th-century bawdy broadside version of "Lavender's Green, Lavender's Blue" on their album "Pills to Purge Melancholy". In 1988, Broadway singer Barbara Cook recorded a version for her release "The Disney Album". In 1991, The Wiggles included this song on their albums "The Wiggles" and "Pop Go The Wiggles".


title: Lavender's Blue

text: Other 20th-century works have incorporated the song or parts of it, or used it as a motif or base for a title. Benjamin Britten wrote "Lavender's Blue" into his 1954 opera "The Turn of The Screw", where it is sung by the two children, Miles and Flora, and in Brad Fraser's 1989 play "Unidentified Human Remains and the True Nature of Love", lyrics from the song are repeatedly sung by the character Benita. And the song was a prominent motif in M.M. Kaye's 1980 children's novel "The Ordinary Princess".


title: Lavender's Blue

text: In 1985, the British rock band Marillion included a song called "Lavender" on their album "Misplaced Childhood". The song had lyrics derived from "Lavender's Blue" and became a number 5 hit on the UK singles chart.

So they go to the gangs den and tell the foolish Gundappa that she came to marry Vishwas. Hence, creating a confusion so that Gundappa leaves Vishwas. On the other hand, Joint Commissioner (who was also kidnapped) tells Savitri that Vishwas is actually not doing any crime but is working for the police. Kajal learns this from Savitri later and goes to apologise to Vishwas for misunderstanding him. Not knowing that they are being watched on CCTV, she apologises to Vishwas and leaks details of his plans. Somehow, Vishwas and his mates are able to flee. But his mother and Kajal are held by Napoleon (the ultimate Don, boss of Gundappa). After fighting the goons, Vishwas hands over Napoleon (who is revealed to be his own father) to the police and tells everyone that he will become a police officer as they are real life heroes. He did all the filmy actions as a fake police officer and now wants to be a real policeman. His mother's dream is finally fulfilled.

text: The film has often been termed as a full-on "masala" commercial entertainer. Other than the casting and genre, the makers refused to divulge further details. In early August 2012, it was confirmed by director Rajkumar Santoshi that he had been offered the film along with actor Arpit Sharma and that he had been in talks for the previous six months. Soon after, when asked, Kapoor confirmed he had not yet signed on for the film, but was on the verge of doing so. It was also reported at the time that actress Diana Penty had been signed on as the female lead, though Ileana D'Cruz later replaced her. Actress Padmini Kolhapure has been signed on to play the role of Kapoor's mother in the film. It was later revealed that newcomer Deepika Kamainah will play an important role alongside Shahid Kapoor and Ileana D'Cruz.

text: The film was expected to begin shooting in November 2012 after Kapoor completed Maneesh Sharma's next project for Yash Raj Films, but the actor opted out of that film due to other commitments. Shahid Kapoor announced via Twitter that filming began on 2 November 2012. The film was expected to be completed by February 2013 but due to delay issues it was completed in March 2013.


title: Phata Poster Nikhla Hero

text: Taran Adarsh gave the film 3.5/5 and wrote, ""Phata Poster Nikhla Hero" brings back memories of old-fashioned comic entertainers. There's not much of a plot here, but you go with the flow without making much effort. You laugh, celebrate the silly gags and by the time the story reaches its conclusion, you realize that the film has won you over with its unfussy plot and basic characters, who don't have a serious bone in their body. On the whole, "Phata Poster Nikhla Hero" is an entertainer all the way. If you relished "Ajab Prem Ki Ghazab Kahani" from the team of Taurani and Santoshi, chances are you will also lap up this vibrant, kaleidoscopic, light-hearted entertainer."


title: Phata Poster Nikhla Hero

text: Madureeta Mukherjee of "The Times of India" gave the film 3.5 and felt, "The first half offers loads of cackles, chuckles, witticisms and spoofy scenes. Post-interval the comedy collapses for a bit with forced OTT drama, khaali-peeli action, and too many song breaks, but makes a comeback with delightfully funny moments. This one's worth it for the 'howlarity' of it all. And Shahid in his element. Note: You may not like this film if you don't have a taste for silly humour & mindless gags!"


title: Phata Poster Nikhla Hero

text: Faheem Ruhani of "India Today" gave the film 3 and judged, "Santoshi as writer, director and the dialogue writer is in good form. He would have been terrific if could have captured your interest in the same way as he did in the first half of the film. Still, the film is worth more than a few laughs. More because of the way the director spoofs Bollywood's tried and tested conventions and the jokes he cracks at the expense of an industry he is only too familiar with."


title: Phata Poster Nikhla Hero

text: Rummana Ahmed of Yahoo! Movies awarded the film 3 stars and summarised, ""Phata Poster Nikhla Hero" will entertain if you are willing to overlook its little indulgences."

title: The Fronde

text: The Fronde () was a series of civil wars in France between 1648 and 1653, occurring in the midst of the Franco-Spanish War, which had begun in 1635. King Louis XIV confronted the combined opposition of the princes, the nobility, the law courts ("parlements"), as well as most of the French people, and managed to subdue them all. The dispute started when the government of France issued seven fiscal edicts, six of which were to increase taxation. The "parlements" resisted and questioned the constitutionality of the King's actions and sought to check his powers.


title: The Fronde

text: The Fronde was divided into two campaigns, the Parlementary Fronde and the Fronde of the Princes. The timing of the outbreak of the Parlementary Fronde, directly after the Peace of Westphalia (1648) that ended the Thirty Years' War, was significant. The nuclei of the armed bands that terrorized parts of France under aristocratic leaders during that period had been hardened in a generation of war in Germany, where troops still tended to operate autonomously. Louis XIV, impressed as a young ruler with the experience of the Fronde, came to reorganize French fighting forces under a stricter hierarchy, whose leaders ultimately could be made or unmade by the King. Cardinal Mazarin blundered into the crisis but came out well ahead at the end. The Fronde represented the final attempt of the French nobility to do battle with the king, and they were humiliated. In the long-term, the Fronde served to strengthen royal authority, but weakened the economy. The Fronde facilitated the emergence of absolute monarchy.


title: The Fronde

text: The Spanish Empire, which had promoted the Fronde to the point that without its support, it would have had a more limited character, benefited from the internal upheaval in France since it contributed to the Spanish military's renewed success in its war against the French between 1647 and 1656, so much so that the year 1652 could be considered a Spanish "annus mirabilis". Only the later English intervention in the war in favor of France would change the situation.


title: The Fronde

text: The French word "fronde" means "sling"; Parisian crowds used slings to smash the windows of supporters of Cardinal Mazarin. Cardinal de Retz in Book II of his Memoirs attributes the usage to a witticism: "Bachoumont once said, in jest, that the Parlement acted like the schoolboys in the Paris ditches, who fling stones ["frondent", that is, fling using slings], and run away when they see the constable, but meet again as soon as he turns his back." He goes on to state that emblems based on that nickname became quite popular and were placed on hats, fans and gloves and even were baked onto bread.


title: The Fronde

text: The insurrection did not start with revolutionary goals but aimed to protect the ancient "liberties" from royal encroachments and to defend the established rights of the "parlements" – courts of appeal rather than legislative bodies like the English parliaments – and especially the right of the Parlement of Paris to limit the king's power by refusing to register decrees that ran against custom. The liberties under attack were feudal of not individuals but chartered towns, where they defended the prerogatives accorded to offices in the legal patchwork of local interests and provincial identities that was France. The Fronde in the end provided an incentive for the establishment of royalist absolutism, since the disorders eventually discredited the feudal concept of liberty.


title: The Fronde

text: The pressure that saw the traditional liberties under threat came in the form of extended and increased taxes as the Crown needed to recover from its expenditures in the recent wars. The costs of the Thirty Years' War (1618–1648) constrained Mazarin's government to raise funds by traditional means, the "impôts", the "taille", and the occasional "aides". The nobility refused to be so taxed, based on their old liberties, or privileges, and the brunt fell upon the bourgeoisie.


title: The Fronde

text: The movement soon degenerated into factions, some of which attempted to overthrow Mazarin and to reverse the policies of his predecessor Cardinal Richelieu (in office 1624–1642) who had taken power for the crown from great territorial nobles, some of whom became leaders of the Fronde. When Louis XIV became king in 1643, he was only a child, so France was ruled by Anne of Austria and though Richelieu had died the year before, his policies continued to dominate French life under his successor Cardinal Mazarin. Most historians consider that Louis's later insistence on absolutist rule and depriving the nobility of actual power was a result of those events in his childhood. The term frondeur was later used to refer to anyone who suggested that the power of the king should be limited and has now passed into conservative French usage to refer to anyone who shows insubordination or engages in criticism of the powers in place.


title: The Fronde

text: In May 1648 a tax levied on judicial officers of the Parlement of Paris provoked not merely a refusal to pay but also a condemnation of earlier financial edicts and a demand for the acceptance of a scheme of constitutional reforms framed by a united committee of the "parlement" (the Chambre Saint-Louis), composed of members of all the sovereign courts of Paris.


title: The Fronde

text: The military record of the Parlementary Fronde is almost blank. In August 1648, feeling strengthened by the news of the Louis II de Bourbon, Prince de Condé's victory at Lens (20 August 1648), Mazarin suddenly arrested the leaders of the parlement, whereupon Paris broke into insurrection and barricaded the streets.


title: The Fronde

text: The noble faction demanded the calling of an assembly of the Estates General, which had last been convoked in 1615. The nobles believed that in the Estates-General, they could continue to control the bourgeois element, as they had in the past.


title: The Fronde

text: The royal faction, having no army at its immediate disposal, had to release the prisoners and to promise reforms; on the night of 22 October, it fled from Paris. However France's signing of the Peace of Westphalia (Treaty of Münster, 24 October 1648) allowed the French army to return from the frontiers, and by January 1649, Condé had put Paris under siege. The two warring parties signed the Peace of Rueil (11 March 1649) after little blood had been shed. The Parisians, though still and always anti-cardinalist, had refused to ask for Spanish aid, as proposed by their princely and noble adherents under Armand de Bourbon, prince de Conti, and having no prospect of military success without such aid, the noble party submitted to the government and received concessions.


title: The Fronde

text: From then on the Fronde became a story of intrigues, half-hearted warfare in a scramble for power and control of patronage, losing all trace of its first constitutional phase. The leaders were discontented princes and nobles: Gaston, Duke of Orleans (the king's uncle); the great Louis II, Prince de Condé and his brother Armand, Prince of Conti; Frédéric, the Duke of Bouillon, and his brother Henri, Viscount of Turenne. To those must be added Gaston's daughter, Mademoiselle de Montpensier (); Condé's sister, Madame de Longueville; Madame de Chevreuse; and the astute intriguer Jean François Paul de Gondi, the future Cardinal de Retz. The military operations fell into the hands of war-experienced mercenaries, led by two great, and many lesser, generals.


title: The Fronde

text: The peace of Rueil lasted until the end of 1649. The princes, received at court once more, renewed their intrigues against Mazarin. On 14 January 1650, Cardinal Mazarin, having come to an understanding with Monsieur Gondi and Madame de Chevreuse, suddenly arrested Condé, Conti, and Longueville. This time, it was Turenne, before and afterwards the most loyal soldier of his day, who headed the armed rebellion. Listening to the promptings of Madame de Longueville, he resolved to rescue her brothers, particularly Condé, his old comrade in the battles of Freiburg and Nördlingen.


title: The Fronde

text: Turenne hoped to do that with Spanish assistance; a powerful Spanish army assembled in Artois under Archduke Leopold Wilhelm, governor-general of the Spanish Netherlands, but peasants of the countryside rose against the invaders; the royal army in Champagne was in the capable hands of Caesar de Choiseul, comte du Plessis-Praslin, who counted 52 years of age and 36 of war experience; and the little fortress of Guise successfully resisted the archduke's attack.


title: The Fronde

text: At that point Mazarin drew upon Plessis-Praslin's army for reinforcements to be sent to subdue the rebellion in the south forcing the royal general to retire. Then Archduke Leopold Wilhelm decided that he had spent enough of the king of Spain's money and men in the French quarrel. His regular army withdrew into winter quarters, and left Turenne to deliver the princes with a motley host of Frondeurs and Lorrainers. Plessis-Praslin by force and bribery secured the surrender of Rethel on 13 December 1650 and Turenne, who had advanced to relieve the place, fell back hurriedly. But he was a terrible opponent, and Plessis-Praslin and Mazarin himself, who accompanied the army, had many misgivings as to the result of a lost battle. The marshal chose nevertheless to force Turenne to a decision, and the Battle of Blanc-Champ (near Somme-Py) or Rethel was the consequence.


title: The Fronde

text: Both sides were at a standstill in strong positions, Plessis-Praslin doubtful of the trustworthiness of his cavalry, but Turenne was too weak to attack, when a dispute for precedence arose between the Gardes Françaises and the "Picardie" regiment. The royal infantry had to be rearranged in order of regimental seniority, and Turenne, seeing and desiring to profit by the attendant disorder, came out of his stronghold and attacked with the greatest vigour. The battle (15 December 1650) was severe and for a time doubtful, but Turenne's Frondeurs gave way in the end, and his army, as an army, ceased to exist. Turenne himself, undeceived as to the part he was playing in the drama, asked and received the young king's pardon, and meantime the court, with the and other loyal troops, had subdued the minor risings without difficulty (March–April 1651).


title: The Fronde

text: Condé, Conti, and Longueville were released, and by April 1651 the rebellion had everywhere collapsed. Then followed a few months of hollow peace and the court returned to Paris. Mazarin, an object of hatred to all the princes, had already retired into exile. His absence left the field free for mutual jealousies, and for the remainder of the year anarchy reigned in France.


title: The Fronde

text: In December 1651, Cardinal Mazarin returned to France with a small army. The war began again, and this time, Turenne and Condé were pitted against each other.


title: The Fronde

text: After that campaign, the civil war ceased, but in the several other campaigns of the Franco-Spanish War that followed, the two great soldiers were opposed to one another, Turenne as the defender of France, Condé as a Spanish invader.


title: The Fronde

text: The début of the new Frondeurs took place in Guyenne (February–March 1652), while their Spanish ally, the archduke Leopold Wilhelm, captured various northern fortresses. On the Loire, where the centre of gravity was soon transferred, the Frondeurs were commanded by intriguers and quarrelsome lords, until Condé's arrival from Guyenne. His bold leadership made itself felt in the Bléneau (7 April 1652) in which a portion of the royal army was destroyed, but fresh troops came up to oppose him. From the skillful dispositions made by his opponents, Condé felt the presence of Turenne and broke off the action. The royal army did likewise. Condé invited the commander of Turenne's rearguard to supper, chaffed him unmercifully for allowing the prince's men to surprise him in the morning, and by way of farewell remarked to his guest, ("It's too bad decent people like us are cutting our throats for a scoundrel")—an incident and a remark that displayed the feudal arrogance which ironically led to the iron-handed absolutism of Louis XIV.


title: The Fronde

text: After Bléneau, both armies marched to Paris to negotiate with the , de Retz and Mlle de Montpensier, while the archduke took more fortresses in Flanders, and Charles, duke of Lorraine, with an army of plundering mercenaries, marched through Champagne to join Condé. As to the latter, Turenne maneuvered past Condé and planted himself in front of the mercenaries, and their leader, not wishing to expend his men against the old French regiments, consented to depart with a money payment and the promise of two tiny Lorraine fortresses.


title: The Fronde

text: A few more manœuvers, and the royal army was able to hem in the Frondeurs in the Faubourg St. Antoine (2 July 1652) with their backs to the closed gates of Paris. The royalists attacked all along the line and won a signal victory in spite of the knightly prowess of the prince and his great lords, but at the critical moment Gaston's daughter persuaded the Parisians to open the gates and to admit Condé's army. She herself turned the guns of the Bastille on the pursuers. An insurrectionist government appeared in Paris and proclaimed Monsieur lieutenant-general of the realm. Mazarin, feeling that public opinion was solidly against him, left France again, and the bourgeois of Paris, quarreling with the princes, permitted the king to enter the city on 21 October 1652. Mazarin returned unopposed in February 1653.


title: The Fronde

text: The Fronde as a civil war was now over. The whole country, wearied of anarchy and disgusted with the princes, came to look to the king's party as the party of order and settled government, and thus the Fronde prepared the way for the absolutism of Louis XIV. The general war continued in Flanders, Catalonia, and Italy wherever a Spanish and a French garrison were face to face, and Condé, with the wreck of his army, openly and defiantly entered the service of the king of Spain. The "Spanish Fronde" was almost purely a military affair.


title: The Fronde

text: In 1653, France was so exhausted that neither invaders nor defenders were able to gather supplies to enable them to take the field until July. At one moment, near Péronne, Condé had Turenne at a serious disadvantage but could not galvanize Spanish General Count Fuensaldaña, who was more solicitous to preserve his master's soldiers than to establish Condé as mayor of the palace to the king of France and the armies drew apart again without fighting. In 1654 the principal incident was the siege and relief of Arras. On the night of 24/25 August the lines of circumvallation drawn round that place by the prince were brilliantly stormed by Turenne's army and Condé won equal credit for his safe withdrawal of the besieging corps under cover of a series of bold cavalry charges led by himself as usual, sword in hand.


title: The Fronde

text: In 1655, Turenne captured the fortresses of Landrecies, Condé and St Ghislain. In 1656 the prince of Condé avenged the defeat of Arras by storming Turenne's circumvallation around Valenciennes (16 July) but Turenne drew off his forces in good order. The campaign of 1657 was uneventful and is only to be remembered because a body of 6,000 English infantry, sent by Oliver Cromwell in pursuance of his treaty of alliance with Mazarin, took part in it. The presence of the English contingent and its purpose of making Dunkirk a new Calais, to be held by England forever, gave the next campaign a character of certainty and decision which was entirely wanting in the rest of the war.


title: The Fronde

text: Dunkirk was besieged promptly in great force and when Don Juan of Austria and Condé appeared with the relieving army from Fumes, Turenne advanced boldly to meet them. The Battle of the Dunes, fought on 14 June 1658, was the first real trial of strength since the battle of the Faubourg St Antoine. Successes on one wing were compromised by failure on the other but in the end Condé drew off with many losses, the success of his cavalry charges having entirely failed to make good the defeat of the Spanish right wing among the dunes.


title: The Fronde

text: Here the "red-coats" made their first appearance on a continental battlefield, under the leadership of Sir William Lockhart, Cromwell's ambassador at Paris. They astonished both armies by the stubborn fierceness of their assaults. Dunkirk fell and was handed over to the English Protectorate, as promised, flying the St George's Cross until Charles II sold it to the king of France in 1662.


title: The Fronde

text: A last desultory campaign followed in 1659—the twenty-fifth year of a conflict between France and Spain which had begun during the Thirty Years' War—and the peace of the Pyrenees was signed on 5 November. On 27 January 1660 the prince asked and obtained at Aix-en-Provence the forgiveness of Louis XIV. The later careers of Turenne and Condé were as obedient subjects of their sovereign.


title: Melvin Williams (actor)

text: Melvin Douglas "Little Melvin" Williams (December 14, 1941 – December 3, 2015) was an African-American actor, author, entrepreneur, public speaker, educator, community activist, gambler and reformed drug trafficker. Considered a drug kingpin in the 1960s, Williams was known for trafficking heroin in Baltimore before he was sentenced to prison in 1985. After his release he began working as a community activist to help reform the lives of underprivileged minorities and youth. He later appeared as “The Deacon” in the HBO series "The Wire" and served as an inspiration for the show.


title: Melvin Williams (actor)

text: Williams was born in Baltimore, Maryland. His father worked as a cab driver, while his mother worked as a nurse's assistant.


title: Melvin Williams (actor)

text: Williams was heavily involved with drug trafficking throughout the 1970s and early 1980s. In the FX documentary "Tapping the Wire" about the HBO show "The Wire", Williams volunteers the information that he made at least "a couple hundred million [dollars]" through heroin trafficking. During that time, Williams was a gambler and states that he was framed by Baltimore police for possession of narcotics. He was periodically arrested on minor charges culminating in federal agents, along with the Baltimore Police Department, launching an investigation into his activities in the early 1980s. One of the Baltimore Police Department investigators working on the case was Ed Burns.


title: Melvin Williams (actor)

text: On December 6, 1984, Williams was arrested on cocaine trafficking charges. On February 7, 1985, he was convicted and sentenced to 34 years in prison. He served part of his sentence in the Lewisburg Federal Penitentiary. In May 1987, the Internal Revenue Service assessed taxes in the amount of $425,055. While still in prison, his life story was featured in a series of articles written by future "The Wire" creator David Simon. "Easy Money: Anatomy of a Drug Empire", a series of five articles, was published in the "Baltimore Sun" in 1987. During his sentence Melvin became extremely knowledgeable about the law and helped other inmates with their cases. Williams was released on parole in 1996.


title: Melvin Williams (actor)

text: In March 1999, he was convicted of a new offense. Williams, who at the time was on parole was sentenced to 22 years in prison in December 2000 after one mistrial. However, he appealed his sentence and it was overturned due to the sentence being outside of the mandatory guidelines. He was released from prison in September 2003.


title: Melvin Williams (actor)

text: Williams began to appear on the HBO show "The Wire" during the show's second season. He played the role of the Deacon starting in the third season. The BET show "American Gangster" profiled Williams in one episode.


title: Melvin Williams (actor)

text: In the 1999 film "Liberty Heights", the character Little Melvin portrayed by actor Orlando Jones is loosely based upon Williams in the early stages of his career. Other appearances include his cameo in Baltimore hip hop duo Dirt Platoon's video for the song "Pennsylvania Avenue" in 2010.

title: Liz Claiborne

text: Anne Elisabeth Jane Claiborne (March 31, 1929 – June 26, 2007) was an American fashion designer and businesswoman. Her success was built upon stylish yet affordable apparel for career women featuring colorfully tailored separates that could be mixed and matched. Claiborne is best known for co-founding Liz Claiborne Inc., which in 1986 became the first company founded by a woman to make the Fortune 500 list. Claiborne was the first woman to become chair and CEO of a Fortune 500 company.


title: Liz Claiborne

text: Claiborne was born in Brussels to American parents. She came from a prominent Louisiana family with an ancestor, William C. C. Claiborne, who served as Louisiana's first governor after statehood, during the War of 1812.


title: Liz Claiborne

text: In 1939, at the start of World War II, the family returned to New Orleans. Claiborne attended St. Timothy's School for Girls, a small boarding school in Maryland. She and her sisters attended Mountain Lakes High School in Mountain Lakes, New Jersey.


title: Liz Claiborne

text: Rather than finishing high school, Claiborne went to Europe to study art in the studios of painters. Her father did not believe that she needed an education, so she studied art informally.


title: Liz Claiborne

text: In 1949, Claiborne won the Jacques Heim National Design Contest (sponsored by "Harper's Bazaar"), and then moved to Manhattan where she worked for years in the Garment District on Seventh Avenue, as a sketch artist at Tina Leser, the sportswear producer. She also worked for the former Hollywood costume designer-turned-fashion designer, Omar Kiam. She worked as a designer for the Dan Keller and Youth Group Inc. fashion labels.


title: Liz Claiborne

text: Claiborne became frustrated by the failure of the companies that employed her to provide practical clothes for working women, so, with husband Art Ortenberg, Leonard Boxer, and Jerome Chazen, she launched her own design company, Liz Claiborne Inc., in 1976. It was an immediate success, with sales of $2 million in 1976 and $23 million in 1978. By 1988, it had acquired one-third of the American women's upscale sportswear market.


title: Liz Claiborne

text: Marketing strategies that Claiborne developed changed the nature of retail stores. For example, Claiborne insisted that her line of clothing be displayed separately, as a department to itself and including all of the items she offered. This was the first time customers were able to select many types of clothing articles by brand name alone in one location of a department store. That tradition for the grouping of special brands has become the typical arrangement for name brands in contemporary stores.


title: Liz Claiborne

text: In 1980, Liz Claiborne Accessories was founded through employee Nina McLemore (who decades later would launch a label of her own, in 2001). Liz Claiborne Inc. went public in 1981 and made the Fortune 500 list in 1986 with retail sales of $1.2 billion.


title: Liz Claiborne

text: Claiborne listed all employees in her corporate directory in alphabetical order, to circumvent what she perceived as male hierarchies. She controlled meetings by ringing a glass bell and became famous for her love of red—"Liz Red". She sometimes would pose as a saleswoman to see what average women thought of her clothes.

title: Jürgen Stroop

text: Jürgen Stroop (born Josef Stroop, 26 September 1895 – 6 March 1952) was a German SS commander during the Nazi era, who served as SS and Police Leader in occupied Poland and Greece. He led the suppression of the Warsaw Ghetto Uprising in 1943 and wrote the Stroop Report, a book-length account of the operation. Following the defeat of Germany, Stroop was prosecuted during the Dachau Trials and convicted of murdering nine U.S. prisoners of war. After his extradition to Poland, Stroop was tried, convicted, and executed for crimes against humanity.


title: Jürgen Stroop

text: Josef Stroop (he later changed his first name) was born in the Principality of Lippe, in the Second Reich. His father, Konrad Stroop, was Lippe's chief of police. His mother, Katherine, was a homemaker. In a conversation with Kazimierz Moczarski while imprisoned in 1949, Stroop recalled his devoutly religious Roman Catholic mother as "a near fanatic", who subjected him to childhood physical abuse.


title: Jürgen Stroop

text: Both of his parents were enthusiastic monarchists. During parades in Detmold, Konrad Stroop often pointed out Leopold IV, Prince of Lippe and said, "Remember this always. This is our Prince. Obey him and serve him as I have." Young Josef's sense of German patriotism was fostered by growing up in the shadow of the "Hermannsdenkmal".


title: Jürgen Stroop

text: Stroop enlisted in the Prussian Army in 1914 and served in several infantry regiments along the Western Front. He was wounded in action near La Bassée in October 1914. To the outrage of his devout mother, Stroop married Katharina, the daughter of a minister from the Protestant Church of Lippe, on 3 July 1923. Katharina Stroop remained a loyal and obedient wife despite her husband's many infidelities. Their marriage produced a daughter, Renate Stroop, who was born in February, 1928. Their son, Olaf Stroop, was born in February 1936.


title: Jürgen Stroop

text: During the early 1920s, Stroop joined the "Tannenbergbund" and embraced Germanic neo-paganism under the influence of General Erich Ludendorff and his wife Mathilde. He later recalled that Mathilde Ludendorff revealed "the truth about the Catholic Church in Germany and returned us to the true Germanic gods. By recalling the pure, pre-Germanic ways, she pointed out the rottenness of the Judeo-Christian ethic and showed how the organized Church had been strangling the Reich for twelve hundred years." Stroop further recalled, "It was thanks to what I was lucky enough to learn from her books that I was able to rid myself of religious prejudice and mark "Gottgläubig" in the column concerning belief."


title: Jürgen Stroop

text: In another conversation with Moczarski, Stroop called Catholicism "a catch-all of religions, infected with Judaism." He further claimed that Christianity was created as a Jewish conspiracy for "the weakening and debasement of man through guilt."


title: Jürgen Stroop

text: Stroop joined the Nazi Party and SS in 1932. In 1933, he was appointed leader of the state auxiliary police. One year later, he was promoted from the rank of SS-"Oberscharführer" to SS-"Hauptsturmführer". Subsequently, he worked for the SS administration in Münster and Hamburg.


title: Jürgen Stroop

text: In 1934, Bishop Clemens von Galen of Münster attacked the racist ideologies of the new regime, partly poking fun at it, partly critiquing its ideological basis as published by Alfred Rosenberg. He declared it unacceptable to refuse the Old Testament because of its Jewish authorship, and to limit morality and virtue to the perceived usefulness of a particular race.


title: Jürgen Stroop

text: In retaliation, Stroop and a von Galen family member of the SS made an official visit to the Bishop. Both were instructed to pressure the Bishop into approving Rosenberg's doctrines. If he refused, they were ordered to threaten him with the confiscation of Church property and an anti-Catholic propaganda campaign.


title: Jürgen Stroop

text: The visit began well, with the bishop commending Stroop's mother for her devout Catholicism and charitable work in Detmold. However, the Bishop turned the tables on his two visitors. He categorically refused to accept or praise Rosenberg's doctrines of euthanizing or forcibly sterilizing the disabled. To Stroop's further shock, the Bishop denounced the Nazis for trying to introduce Germanic neo-paganism into his diocese. He scoffed at marriage ceremonies and funerals conducted before altars dedicated to Wotan. Stroop, who attended such a ceremony only days before, was stunned that the bishop had learned of it so quickly.


title: Jürgen Stroop

text: At the end of the meeting, he stated the Church would remain loyal to the State in all lawful matters. He expressed his deep love for Germany and reminded them he was the first Catholic Bishop to publicly acknowledge the new regime.


title: Jürgen Stroop

text: Stroop lamented the fact that von Galen's German patriotism "was tainted by Papist ideals, harmful to Germany for centuries. Besides, the Archbishop's orders came from outside the Fatherland, a fact which disturbed us. We all know, despite its diverse factions, the Catholic Church is a world community, which sticks together when the chips are down."


title: Jürgen Stroop

text: In September 1938, Stroop was promoted again, this time to the rank of SS-"Standartenführer" (colonel), and served near Reichenberg (Liberec), in the Sudetenland. In conversation with Moczarski, Stroop happily reminisced about his many visits to the hot springs at Karlsbad. For this reason, their cellmate, Gustav Schielke, expressed disgust: instead of serving in combat, ""Herr General" did battle in spas."


title: Jürgen Stroop

text: After the German invasion of Poland, Stroop served as commander of the SS section in Gnesen (Gniezno). During the occupation of Poland, Stroop was transferred to Poznań as head of "Selbstschutz", the notorious "self-defense" formation of the local ethnic Germans.


title: Jürgen Stroop

text: In May 1941, Stroop changed his forename from Josef to Jürgen for ideological reasons and in honor of his dead infant son. From 7 July to 15 September 1941, Stroop served in combat on the Eastern Front in the SS Division Totenkopf. He was awarded an Iron Cross 2nd Class. On 16 September 1942, he was promoted to SS-"Brigadeführer" and assigned as an Inspector of the SiPo and SD of the Higher SS and Police Leader for Russia South. Beginning October 1942, Stroop commanded an SS garrison at Kherson, before becoming the SS and Police Leader (SSPF) for Lemberg (Lviv) in February 1943. Stroop was SS inspector of "Durchgangsstrasse" IV, a large forced labor project to built a road from Lemberg to Stalino (now Donetsk).


title: Jürgen Stroop

text: Stroop was involved in the month long suppression of the Warsaw Ghetto Uprising, an action which cost the lives of just over 57,000 people. He was sent to Warsaw on 17 April 1943 by SS leader Heinrich Himmler, as a replacement for SS-"Oberführer" Ferdinand von Sammern-Frankenegg, who was relieved of duty. Stroop took over from Sammern-Frankenegg following the latter's failure to suppress the uprising at the onset. He commented to war crimes investigators:


title: Jürgen Stroop

text: Stroop ordered the entire Ghetto to be systematically burned-down and blown-up, building-by-building. 57,065 of the survivors, including men, women, and children were either killed on the spot or deported to extermination camp. In conversation with Moczarski, Stroop described the destruction of the Ghetto in great detail. Stroop also disclosed, unlike the men under his command, he always left the Ghetto at mealtimes and overnight.


title: Jürgen Stroop

text: In his daily report 1 May 1943 Stroop reported: "Progress of large scale operation on 1 May 1943. Start 0900 hours. 10 searching parties were detailed, moreover a larger battle group was detailed to comb out a certain block of buildings, with the added instruction to burn that block down. Within this block of buildings there existed a so-called armament factory which had not yet been entirely evacuated, although it had had enough time to do so. It was not exempted from the operation. Today's operation a total of 1,026 Jews were caught, of whom 245 were killed, either in battle or while resisting. Moreover, a considerable number of bandits and ringleaders were also caught. In one case a Jew who had already been made ready for transport fired three shots against a 1st Lieutenant of Police, but missed his mark...". Stroop recalled this shooting episode (quoted in the book "Conversations with an Executioner" by Kazimierz Moczarski):


title: Jürgen Stroop

text: Stroop expressed confusion that the Ghetto's Jewish combatants, whom he viewed as "Untermenschen", fought effectively against his men.


title: Jürgen Stroop

text: After the suppression, Stroop ordered the destruction of Warsaw's Great Synagogue on May 16, 1943. Stroop's description was quoted in "Conversations with an Executioner":


title: Jürgen Stroop

text: At that point, Stroop assumed the position of SS and Police Leader of Warsaw. Krüger presented an Iron Cross 1st Class to him on 18 June 1943 for the Warsaw Ghetto "action" at a gala reception in Warsaw's Łazienki Park. Stroop's detailed 75-page report on the suppression of the Warsaw Ghetto Uprising was bound in black leather. Stroop detailed the capture/and or killing of 57,065 Warsaw Ghetto inmates while German forces had 110 casualties [17 dead/93 wounded]. It included copies of all communiqués and many photographs; two separate copies were sent to SS Police Leader East Friedrich-Wilhelm Krüger and Heinrich Himmler while Stroop kept a copy as well as an unbound file copy. Titled "The Jewish Quarter of Warsaw is no more!", it would later be used as evidence at the Nuremberg Trials.


title: Jürgen Stroop

text: On 16 October, the government of Ioannis Rallis published a decree which put the Security Battalions, Hellenic Gendarmerie and City Police under Stroop's orders. The local civilian administration found his methods and behavior unacceptable, and withdrew cooperation, forbidding the local Order Police from having anything to do with him, which made his position untenable. Consequently, he was removed and replaced by Walter Schimana, and on 9 November, was appointed Commander of SS-"Oberabschnitt Rhein-Westmark" (an SS administrative district named for the Rhine and Gau Westmark) in Wiesbaden, serving there until the close of the war.


title: Jürgen Stroop

text: According to Moczarski, no subject enraged Stroop more than the 20 July plot against Adolf Hitler. Whenever the subject came up, Stroop cursed those involved, "in unprintable terms," as a "murderous band of generals and Jew-ridden civilians." Stroop blamed Germany's defeat on Germans: "A few weaklings poisoned by enemy agents and infected with subversive ideologies were all it took to undermine us. The minute we suffered military defeats, the cancerous elements in our society swung into action, organizing Mafias and creating 'patriotic discussion groups.' In the end, they destroyed our nation."


title: Jürgen Stroop

text: Stroop proudly related his involvement in the purge of anti-Nazi Germans following the plot's failure. He expressed annoyance that Field Marshal Erwin Rommel should have been allowed to commit suicide rather than being hanged from a meat hook. He also praised Roland Freisler of the "Volksgerichtshof" as "a fine judge." Stroop also boasted about his participation in dealing with Field Marshal Günther von Kluge for his involvement in the plot. As General Wilhelm Burgdorf did with Rommel, Stroop claimed to have offered the Field Marshal a choice between suicide and a show trial before Judge Freisler. To Stroop's outrage, Kluge demanded his day in court. Stroop then claimed he shot Kluge in the head. Himmler announced the Field Marshal was a suicide.


title: Jürgen Stroop

text: Between October 1944 and March 1945, nine airmen of the United States Army Air Forces were summarily executed after they were shot down and captured in Stroop's district. They were Sergeant Willard P. Perry, Sergeant Robert W. Garrison, Private Ray R. Herman, Second Lieutenant William A. Duke, Second Lieutenant Archibald B. Monroe, Private Jimmie R. Heathman, Lieutenant William H. Forman, and Private Robert T. McDonald.


title: Jürgen Stroop

text: After Moczarski reminded him the killing of POWs was defined as criminal under the Hague and Geneva Conventions, Stroop responded, "It was common knowledge American flyers were terrorists and murderers who used methods contrary to civilized norms ... We were given a statement to that effect from the highest authorities. It was accompanied by an order from Heinrich Himmler." As a result, he explained, all nine POWs were taken to the forest and given "a ration of lead for their American necks."


title: Jürgen Stroop

text: In late March 1945, Stroop was forced to retreat from Wiesbaden as the advancing U.S. Army crossed the Rhine bridgeheads. Upon his arrival in Pottenstein, Bavaria, Stroop received word Himmler wished to meet him in Berlin. On 14 April, Stroop met Himmler in his private train near Prenzlau. With a pass signed by Himmler, Stroop traveled to the Alpine Redoubt with a group of teenaged Hitler Youth members he was training for war. To obtain gasoline and other scarce supplies, Stroop showed Himmler's signed order and claimed to be transporting his Werwolf unit to build an Alpine bastion for the salvation of the Reich.


title: Jürgen Stroop

text: However, after a secret conference at Taxenbach, Austria, Stroop and his fellow Werwolf commanders decided to change into Wehrmacht uniforms and surrender to the Western Allies. Soon after, Stroop abandoned his Werwolf unit near Kufstein and fled north. On 10 May 1945, Stroop surrendered to the American forces in the village of Rottau, Bavaria.


title: Jürgen Stroop

text: Stroop told Moczarski he was carrying a cyanide tablet, which he intended to take if captured. After Moczarski asked him his reasons for not taking it, Stroop replied, "It's really quite simple. I was afraid." At the time he surrendered, Stroop carried forged discharge papers made out to a Wehrmacht Captain of Reserve Josef Straup. He kept to this story for nearly two months, before admitting his identity on 2 July 1945.


title: Jürgen Stroop

text: In the case of "U.S. vs. Jurgen Stroop, et al", the former General and 21 of his subordinates were prosecuted by the U.S. Military Tribunal at Dachau for the "liquidation" of the nine U.S. POWs executed in his district. Lieutenant Colonel William Dwinnel, a U.S. Army lawyer from Brooklyn, New York appeared for the prosecution. Brigadier General Emil C. Kiel of the United States Army Air Forces was assigned as the trial's judge. Stroop later called General Kiel "a cunning devil," and expressed a belief the General was Jewish.


title: Jürgen Stroop

text: In conversation with Moczarski, Stroop lamented, "Nearly all of those judges were Jews or Freemasons. I studied them very closely. Most of them had dark hair." He further lamented one of his U.S. Army defense lawyers was wearing a Masonic ring in court. According to Gustav Schielke, his cellmate:


title: Jürgen Stroop

text: Stroop behaved like a swine in the dock. He acted innocent as a lamb, pretending the killings were news to him. Because of his incriminations, several fellow defendants were sentenced to death, as many as thirteen of the twenty-two. As senior commander of the SS and police, "he" gave all the orders, Herr Moczarski, yet he stated in court his underlings killed the American airmen. How could a top German officer act like that?


title: Jürgen Stroop

text: After an eight-week trial, Brigadier General Kiel sentenced Stroop to death by hanging on 21 March 1947. As for his codefendants, one was acquitted, one escaped and was never tried, 12 of them received death sentences, and the other 7 received prison terms ranging from three to 15 years. In November 1947, a death warrant was signed by General Lucius D. Clay. By then, however, Stroop was imprisoned in Warsaw for five months. Three of Stroop's condemned codefendants had their death sentences reduced to prison terms, while the other nine were executed at Landsberg Prison in 1948.


title: Jürgen Stroop

text: In late May 1947, Stroop was flown to Berlin-Tempelhof Airport, and extradited to the People's Republic of Poland. He was extradited with Erich Muhsfeldt. He recalled, "My heart sank when I saw those Polish officers at Tempelhof. So, the Americans were liars after all! They promised me time and again I'd never be given to the Communists and my death sentence for killing the U.S. airmen would be commuted to life imprisonment."


title: Jürgen Stroop

text: Stroop's trial began on 18 July 1951 at the Warsaw Criminal District Court and lasted three days. Stroop stood accused of four crimes:


title: Jürgen Stroop

text: On 23 July 1951, the Court sentenced Stroop and Franz Konrad to death by hanging. In passing sentence, the Court declared,


title: Jürgen Stroop

text: Since the character and magnitude of Stroop's crimes, his attitude and his twisted explanations not only indicate a total lack of repentance but actually confirm that he retains his Nazi view of the world, the Court is unable to find the slightest extenuating circumstance in the accused Stroop's conduct. His actions show that he is a being devoid of human feeling, a Fascist hangman who tracked his victims with cold and relentless cruelty, an executioner who must be removed from the society of man.


title: Jürgen Stroop

text: Stroop was hanged at Mokotów Prison at seven o'clock in the evening on 6 March 1952. In 1961, Moczarski wrote to the Procurator General of the Polish Republic and received a letter about Stroop's last moments. According to the Procurator's letter, Stroop was calm, "exhibiting his usual arrogance", in the day before his hanging. He expressed no "last wish". Several days before the hanging, the prison director asked Stroop whether he could reconcile his conscience with the fact he murdered women and children in the Ghetto and watched others do so at his orders; he replied he felt no guilt about killing Jews. Stroop did not utter a word about Germany, Hitler, or future revenge.


title: Jürgen Stroop

text: While awaiting trial in Warsaw's Mokotów Prison, Stroop spent 255 days in a cell with Kazimierz Moczarski, a former officer in the pre-war Polish Army and his co-accused, SS-"Untersturmfuhrer" Gustav Schielke. Moczarski, under the codename "Maurycy", served in Poland's anti-Nazi and anti-Soviet resistance movement, the "Armia Krajowa" (AK) in World War II. By the time they met, he had been incarcerated for more than three years after communist judges sentenced him on 18 January 1946.


title: Jürgen Stroop

text: Moczarski was ordered by the AK to assassinate Stroop for crimes against the Polish Nation during his tenure as SS and Police Leader of Warsaw. Due to the unpredictability of Stroop's movements, Moczarski was unable to carry out the mission. Following the Soviet-led transformation of Poland into a Marxist-Leninist police state, Moczarski was arrested and tortured by the Polish Ministry of State Security, spending four years on death row before his release in 1956.


title: Jürgen Stroop

text: During their incarceration, Stroop opened-up in detail about his life. He also shared with Moczarski his letters from his mother, wife, and children in West Germany. Moczarski recalled: "The letters from his mother Stroop gave me to read ... seemed to indicate Frau Stroop did not view as crimes the acts for which Stroop is jailed."


title: Jürgen Stroop

text: Moczarski collected notes and wrote a memoir about his 255-day incarceration from 2 March 1949 until 11 November 1949 in one cell with Jürgen Stroop after his release from prison and re-habilitation in 1956 during the anti-Stalinist Polish October.<ref name="Podgórski/scribd">Andrzej Szczypiorski (1977), Moczarski Kazimierz, "Rozmowy z katem" text with "Notes" and "Biography" by Andrzej Krzysztof Kunert (PDF 1.86 MB, available from Scribd.com). Retrieved </ref> His first draft was written in secrecy. Fifteen years after his ordeal ended, Moczarski published his memoir in installments in the Polish magazine "Odra" monthly in 1972–74. He did not witness the publication of his work in book form. The first shortened book version was released in 1977, two years after Moczarski's death. The full text without communist censorship was published in 1992 after the collapse of the Soviet Union, by Polish Scientific Publishers PWN. Moczarski died 27 September 1975 in Warsaw, weakened by the years of physical torture endured during his communist 'interrogations' by the UB secret police.


title: Jürgen Stroop

text: The book titled "Rozmowy z katem", with excerpts published in newspapers and magazines during his lifetime, was translated and published in English as "Conversations with an Executioner" by Prentice-Hall in 1981, hardcover, and is translated into several languages. On 18 April 2012, Philip Boehm's stage adaptation of Moczarski's memoir premiered at the Upstream Theater in St. Louis, Missouri, US.


title: Onkyo

text: In March 2015, Onkyo purchased Pioneer Corporation's Home Electronics Corporation, which produces home cinema amplifiers, Blu-ray players and other AV products. In return, Pioneer took a 14.95% stake in Onkyo. The Ohtsuki family remained the largest shareholders of the company with an approximately 26% stake, just above Gibson Brands, with a 16.5% stake.


title: Onkyo

text: In May 2021, Voxx International and Sharp Corporation began negotiations with Onkyo to purchase its home audiovisual division. Voxx's subsidiary Premium Audio Company (PAC) entered a joint venture with Sharp to acquire the business, which includes the Onkyo and Integra brands, for $30.8 million and the assumption of certain debt plus payment of commissions to Onkyo in future. PAC would own 75% of the joint venture and Sharp 25%. PAC would manage all product development, engineering, sales, marketing, and distribution while Sharp would be responsible for manufacturing and supply chain management of Onkyo products. The acquisition was completed in September 2021.


title: Onkyo

text: Onkyo was delisted from the Tokyo Stock Exchange in August 2021 due to the market's rules on negative net worth.


title: Onkyo

text: On May 13, 2022, Onkyo announced that it was filing for bankruptcy. Onkyo, Integra, Pioneer and Pioneer Elite branded products continue to be distributed by PAC via its 11 Trading Company subsidiary. PAC and Sharp subsequently bought the remaining assets of Onkyo two months later.


title: The Voice Portugal

text: The Voice Portugal (A Voz de Portugal in the first season) is a Portuguese reality singing competition and local version of "The Voice", originally broadcast as "The Voice of Holland". It premiered on 29 October 2011, on RTP1, with the first-season finale airing on 25 February 2012, crowning Denis Filipe as the winner. The show came back in 2014 with its second season with new coaches, a new co-host, a new show name, and new "Repórteres V" (backstage hosts). The winner of the second season was Rui Drumond. RTP1 later announced the first season of The Voice Kids and the third season of the main show. The third season premiered on 11 October 2015 with a new coach, Aurea. In its third season, the show proved to be a hit and was subsequently renewed for a fourth season, which was premiered in 2016.


title: The Voice Portugal

text: The series employs a panel of four coaches who critique the artists' performances. Each coach guides their teams of selected artists through the remainder of the season. They also compete to ensure that their act wins the competition, thus making them the winning coach. The original coaching panel consisted of Rui Reininho, Paulo Gonzo, Mia Rose, and the duo Anjos. In 2014 when the show came back, Reininho returned as a coach and was joined by Mickael Carreira, Marisa Liz, and Anselmo Ralph. Also in 2014, Ralph became one of the coaches of the kids' version, alongside Daniela Mercury and Raquel Tavares. In the third season, Reininho left and was replaced by Aurea. In the seventh season Carreira and Ralph were replaced by Diogo Piçarra and António Zambujo. In the tenth season Aurea and Zambujo were replaced by Carolina Deslandes and .


title: The Voice Portugal

text: The show is hosted by Catarina Furtado and in the second season, Vasco Palmeirim and Furtado became co-hosts. The kids version was hosted by Palmeirim and Mariana Monteiro, who was a "Repórter V" for the second season of the main series. The show also features backstage hosts ("Repórteres V"). Diogo Beja was the first "Repórter V" back in 2011, being replaced in the second season by Laura Figueiredo, Mariana Monteiro, and Pedro Fernandes. In the third season, Jani Gabriel became the only "Repórter V". During the kids' season, Rui Maria Pêgo was the backstage host.


title: The Voice Portugal

text: Each season begins with the "Blind Auditions", where coaches form their team of artists whom they mentor through the remainder of the season. The coaches' chairs are faced toward the audience during artists' performances; those interested in an artist press their button, which turns their chair towards the artist and illuminates the bottom of the chair to read "I want you." After the performance, an artist either defaults to the only coach who turned around or selects his or her coach if more than one coach expresses interest.


title: The Voice Portugal

text: In the Battles round ("Batalhas"), each coach pairs two of his or her team members to perform together and then chooses one to advance in the competition. A new element was added in season two; coaches were given two "steals", allowing each coach to select two individuals who were eliminated during a battle round by another coach.


title: The Voice Portugal

text: The Knockouts round ("Tira-Teimas") was introduced in season two. A pair of artists within a team are selected to go directly to the live shows without performing and the other four pairs from each team will have to perform, and only six (including the pair that went directly to the live shows) will go to the live shows.


title: The Voice Portugal

text: In the final live performance phase of the competition, artists perform against each other. People's votes help decide who stays on the show and who leaves.


title: The Voice Portugal

text: The first season of "The Voice Portugal" was hosted by Catarina Furtado, and the four coach members are singer-songwriter Paulo Gonzo, pop rock duo Anjos, YouTube sensation Mia Rose, and GNR lead vocalist Rui Reininho.


title: The Voice Portugal

text: The second season of "The Voice Portugal" was hosted by Catarina Furtado and Vasco Palmeirim. Reininho returned as coach alongside new coaches Mickael Carreira, Amor Electro vocalist Marisa Liz, and Anselmo Ralph. The Knockouts round was introduced during this season.


title: The Voice Portugal

text: The third season of "The Voice Portugal" began in October 2015. All panelists from last season returned except Reininho, who was replaced by a new coach, Aurea.


title: The Voice Portugal

text: The fourth season was announced at the end of the third season in October 2016. The hosts and the four coach members remained the same.


title: The Voice Portugal

text: The fifth season of "The Voice Portugal" began in September 2017. All panelists from last season returned.


title: The Voice Portugal

text: The sixth season of "The Voice Portugal" began in September 2018 with the same panelists as last season. In this season there were five finalists, one per team and one voted by the public after being eliminated in the Semi-final.


title: The Voice Portugal

text: The seventh season of "The Voice Portugal" began on 13 October 2019. Liz and Aurea remained as coaches, alongside debutants Diogo Piçarra and António Zambujo, who replaced Carreira and Ralph. From this season on, bands can participate. For the first time in the competition, the Knockouts phase was live with public voting, instead of being pre-recorded.


title: The Voice Portugal

text: The eighth season of "The Voice Portugal" began on 27 September 2020. Liz, Aurea, Piçarra, and Zambujo remained as coaches. For the first time in the competition, in the Battles phase, each artist sang a different song instead of singing one together, probably due to the procedures of the COVID-19 pandemic in Portugal. This season marks the first stolen artist to win "The Voice Portugal".


title: The Voice Portugal

text: The ninth season of "The Voice Portugal" began on 17 October 2021. Aurea, Liz, Piçarra, and Zambujo remained as coaches.


title: The Voice Portugal

text: The tenth season of "The Voice Portugal" began recording on 5 September, with the confirmation that Liz and Piçarra would return as coaches, while Aurea and Zambujo were replaced by "The Voice Kids" coach Carolina Deslandes and new coach Dino d'Santiago. The season began airing on 25 September 2022. For the live shows, Lopes was replaced by Catarina Maia as the backstage host.


title: The Voice Portugal

text: This season, a new dynamic to the "Battles" was introduced: each coach could decide to do battles in pairs or groups, and the only rule was they needed to keep only seven artists on their teams. Hence, a "battle" could have one, many, or no winners. Also, the steals were removed. New this season, the "Cross Battles" were introduced. Its mechanic is: an artist of one team competes against an artist of another team and the public vote decides the winner of the battle. At the end of the round, each coach saved one eliminated artist from their own team.


title: The Voice Portugal
