paragraph: Matsunaga Hisahide

paragraph: Matsunaga Danjo Hisahide (松永 弾正 久秀 1508 – November 19, 1577) was a "daimyō" and head of the Yamato Matsunaga clan in Japan during the Sengoku period of the 16th century.

paragraph: Section::::Biography.

paragraph: He was a retainer of Miyoshi Nagayoshi from the 1540s. He directed the conquest of the province of Yamato in the 1560s and by 1564 had built a sufficient power-base to be effectively independent. It is believed that he was conspiring against Nagayoshi during this period, from 1561 to 1563 three of Nagayoshi's brothers and his son Yoshioki died. This left Miyoshi Yoshitsugu the adopted heir when Nagayoshi died in 1564, too young to rule. Three men shared his guardianship – Miyoshi Nagayuki, Miyoshi Masayasu, and Iwanari Tomomichi.

paragraph: He then invested the "shōgun" Ashikaga Yoshiteru's palace, who then committed suicide.

paragraph: His brother Ashikaga Yoshiaki fled and the shōgun was replaced by his young cousin, Yoshihide.

paragraph: In 1566, fighting started between Hisahide and the Miyoshi. Initially the forces of Hisahide were unsuccessful and his apparent destruction of the Buddhist Tōdai-ji in Nara was considered an act of infamy.

paragraph: In 1568 Oda Nobunaga, with the figurehead Yoshiaki, attacked Hisahide. Nobunaga captured Kyoto in November and Hisahide was forced to submit.

paragraph: Yoshiaki was made shōgun, a post he held only until 1573 when he attempted to remove himself from Nobunaga's power. Hisahide kept control of the Yamato and served Nobunaga in his extended campaigns against the Miyoshi and others, for a while. In 1573 Hisahide briefly allied with the Miyoshi, but when the hope for successes were not achieved he returned to Nobunaga to fight the Miyoshi.

paragraph: In 1577 Nobunaga besieged him at Shigisan Castle. Defeated but defiant Hisahide committed suicide. A noted tea master, he destroyed his tea bowl denying it to his enemies.

paragraph: He ordered his head destroyed to prevent it becoming a trophy (in which his son, Matsunaga Kojiro grabbed Hisahide's head and jumped off the castle wall with his sword through his throat). His son, Hisamichi, also committed suicide in siege.

paragraph: Hisahide often appears as a shriveled and scheming old man in fiction. However, this is a fictitious image propagated in response to the assassinations and the destruction of Tōdai-ji that he was believed to have perpetrated. In truth, he was a tall, handsome, and educated man as well as a patron of arts.

paragraph: Section::::Cultural references.

paragraph: See People of the Sengoku period in popular culture.

paragraph: In Sengoku Basara game and anime series, he was depicted as a shrewd antique and poison collector, has an army of mercenaries and uses fire and explosives on his attacks

paragraph: Lạc Long Quân

paragraph: Lạc Long Quân (literally "Dragon Lord of Lạc"; also called Hùng Hiền Vương) as known as Hùng Vương II, is considered the second Hùng king of the Hồng Bàng Dynasty of ancient Vietnam (known then as Văn Lang and before that as Xích Quỷ). Quân was the son and sole successor of Kinh Dương Vương (the first Hung king), who ruled over Xích Quỷ. He is thought to have become king in 2793 BC. He is also a significant figure in Vietnamese legend.

paragraph: In modern day, his life is mixed with many legends. Quân's wife, Âu Cơ, gave birth to a sac containing 100 eggs from which 100 children were born; this is the origin of the story of the 100 Vietnamese family names, later the Bách Việt tribes. One day Lạc Long Quân told Âu Cơ: "I am descended from dragons, you from fairies. We are as incompatible as water is with fire. So we cannot continue in harmony." This said, the husband and wife parted. The man went to the seawards with 50 of their children, while his wife went to the mountainous region with the other half of the clan. The eldest son, who followed his mother, later installed himself as Quân's successor.

paragraph: Section::::Genealogy.

paragraph: Lạc Long Quân's father was Kinh Dương Vương and Lạc Long Quân's mother is Long Mẫu Thần Long.

paragraph: Section::::In Vietnamese literature.

paragraph: The books Đại Việt sử ký toàn thư (from the 15th century) and Lĩnh Nam chích quái ("Wonders plucked from the dust of Linh-nam", from the 14th century) mention the legend with Âu Cơ.

paragraph: Section::::Mythology.

paragraph: Slaying of NGƯ TINH

paragraph: During Lạc Long Quân's time, the people of Van Lang was still undeveloped and isolated. In the Eastern sea, there appears a giant Fish called Ngư Tinh (Vietnamese for "fish monster" or "fish spirit"). This fish has lived for centuries, with the size of its mouth, it can consume a ship with 10 fisherman at the same time. Whenever the Fish swim, waves can reach the sky, drown multiple ships, all the people passing through the area were all eaten by the fish. Ngư Tinh lives in a big cave under the sea, above the cave is a huge mountain which divide the sea into two areas.

paragraph: Lạc Long Quân decided to slay the beast to help the people. He built a huge ship, made a burning human-shaped piece of metal, then sailed straight to Ngư Tinh nest. There he held the human-shaped piece of metal up to trick Ngư Tinh. Ngư Tinh thought it was a human than opened its mouth and tried to swallow to burning metal. Quân threw the burning metal into Ngư Tinh's mouth. Ngư Tinh 's throat was burning, it struggled but tried to sink Quân's ship. Quân then took his sword out and slew the beast, slicing it into three pieces.

paragraph: Slaying of The nine-tailed Fox

paragraph: After slaying Ngư Tinh, Quân went down to Long Biên. There appears a nine-tailed fox that live for thousand years, called Hồ Tinh (Vietnamese for "fox monster" or "fox spirit"). The fox lived in a deep cave, under a rock mountain in the West Long Biên. This fox often disguised into human shape, lure the women, then bring them to the cave and feed on them. This fox has been harassing people from Long Biên to Tản Viên mountain. The innocents were so afraid of the fox that they have to leave their homes, farms to other places in order to live peacefully. Quân brought his sword to the beast's nest and tried to slay the beast. When Quân reached the cave, the fox smelled human, then suddenly attacked, Quân then used magic to call the elements of wind and thunders to trap the beast. After 3 days, the beast has weakened, tried to find a way to run away. Quân caught the beast and sliced its head off. The beast revealed itself as a huge nine-tailed fox. Quân got into the cave and rescued everybody that was alive and tortured by the fox

paragraph: Descendant of Dragon and Fairy

paragraph: Lạc Long Quân is a son of Long Mẫu Thần Long, the dragon goddess that rules the sky and the ocean.

paragraph: Lạc Long Quân was married to Đế Lai's daughter, Âu Cơ. She gave birth to a sac of a hundred eggs, which were hatched into a hundred boys. One day, Quân confessed to her: "I am a descendant of the Dragon, you are descendant of the Fairy, fire and water cannot live together in harmony." The two of them then divided their children. Fifty sons followed their mother to the mountainous north, the other fifty followed their father to live in the south; these children are ancestor of Bách Việt. The oldest brother followed Âu Cơ to Phong Châu (Phú Thọ), became Quân's successor and ruled as Hung King.

paragraph: Hugh Primas

paragraph: Hugh Primas of Orléans was a Latin lyric poet of the 12th century, a scholar from Orléans who was jokingly called "Primas", "the Primate", by his friends at the University of Paris. He was probably born in the 1090s and may have died about 1160. Along with his younger contemporary, the Archpoet, he marks the opening of a new period in Latin literature.

paragraph: Section::::Biography.

paragraph: The earliest and best-known source for Hugh Primas's life is in a passage added to the text of the "Chronica" of Richard of Poitiers for the year 1142:

paragraph: Hugh is also mentioned in the "Chronicle" by Francesco Pippino, and he may be "Primasso", the subject of a story in Boccaccio's "Decameron" (1.7).

paragraph: Other medieval writers say very little about his life: they knew "Primas" for his poems. Yet they rarely quoted them under his name. Modern scholars were therefore able to attribute no work to Hugh Primas until Wilhelm Meyer observed, in 1906, that one poem actually contains the name "Primas". Meyer then realised that the Oxford manuscript containing this one poem includes a collection of twenty-two others that are probably by the same author, including another seven containing the internal signature "Primas".

paragraph: The twenty-three poems identified by Meyer, and edited by him in 1907, are now generally accepted as the work of Hugh Primas, though A. G. Rigg has expressed doubts about some attributions.

paragraph: His son, Iehiro Tokugawa, is a translator.

paragraph: In 2007, Tsunenari published a book entitled "Edo no idenshi" (江戸の遺伝子), released in English in 2009 as "The Edo Inheritance", which seeks to counter the common belief among Japanese that the Edo period (throughout which members of his Tokugawa clan ruled Japan as "shōguns") was like a dark age, when Japan, cut off from the world, fell behind. On the contrary, he argues, the roughly 250 years of peace and relative prosperity saw great economic reforms, the growth of a sophisticated urban culture, and the development of the most urbanized society on the planet.

paragraph: Émile Mayrisch

paragraph: Jacob Émile Albert Mayrisch (10 October 1862 – 5 March 1928) was a Luxembourgian industrialist and businessman. He served as president of Arbed.

paragraph: He was married to Aline de Saint-Hubert, who was a famous women's rights campaigner, socialite and philanthropist, and was President of the Luxembourg Red Cross.

paragraph: He died in a car accident at Châlons-sur-Marne, in France, in 1928.

paragraph: Section::::Life.

paragraph: Émile Mayrisch's father was Edouard Mayrisch, a doctor at court, and his mother was Mathilde Metz, the daughter of Adolf Metz, and niece of Norbert Metz, an industrialist at Eich and Dommeldange, and a government minister. He grew up in Eich, which was in those days the industrial centre of Luxembourg. For his secondary education, he attended the Athénée de Luxembourg and the Institut Rachez in Belgium. From 1881 to 1885 he studied at the Rheinisch-Westfälische Technische Hochschule in Aachen, without graduating, as he did not sit the exams. In those days, however, it was possible in Luxembourg to do engineering work, without having to have a diploma.

paragraph: In 1885, he went to work in the Dudelange foundry, which had been founded three years previously by his great-uncle Norbert Metz. A year later, he went to Rodange, where he became head of production of the blast furnaces. On 1 February 1891 he went to Dudelange as an engineer-chemist, where he became head of the laboratory two months later. In July 1893 he became general secretary of the board of directors, and on 21 April 1897 was appointed director of the Dudelange foundry.

paragraph: As such, he modernised and enlarged the foundry, made contracts with German suppliers and brought the foundry into the "Stahlwerkverband". He also set new standards regarding the social well-being of his workers: health insurance for the workers, a retirement fund for the employees, paid holiday, an "Economat", where the workers could buy cheap groceries, etc.

paragraph: In 1894 he married Aline de Saint-Hubert. The couple had two children: Jean (d. 1899) and Andrée (1901-1976).

paragraph: In 1911, after long negotiations, Émile Mayrisch brought about a merger of the three largest Luxembourgish steelworks: ARBED ("Aciéries Réunies de Burbach-Eich-Dudelange") was born, of which he became the technical director. Up until the war, he made ARBED one of the most important members of the "Stahlverband".

paragraph: In the war years of 1914-1918, Mayrisch had ARBED continue production (which also prevented massive unemployment), and thus supplied Germany with vital raw materials for wartime production. For this reason, the Dudelange foundry was bombarded in 1916/1918 by the Allies. Mayrisch also had a military hospital installed in his former villa for German and French soldiers.

paragraph: Towards the end of the war, he made contact with the French, and sent Jean Schlumberger, a writer and intelligence officer, a report on German wartime production.

paragraph: After the war, Luxembourg left the Zollverein, and ARBED had to seek out new export markets. In 1919 Émile Mayrisch founded "Terres Rouges" together with Schneider-Creusot, against the resistance of ARBED's president, the Belgian Gaston Barbanson. Mayrisch soon became president of the board, and it was he who negotiated an agreement between the German, French, Belgian and Luxembourgish steel industry.

paragraph: In 1920, the Mayrisch family moved to Colpach-Bas, where they had bought Colpach Castle. In the following years, this became an important meeting point for writers, artists, politicians, and economists of Europe could come together. The Colpach group included André Gide, Walter Rathenau, Jacques Rivière, Paul Claudel, Jean Guéhenno, Annette Kolb, Théo van Rysselberghe, Maria Van Rysselberghe, Karl Jaspers, Bernard Groethuysen, Ernst Robert Curtius and Richard von Coudenhove-Kalergi. Mayrisch's goal was to find a rapprochement between Germany and France.

paragraph: On 30 September 1926, after long negotiations, the "Entente Internationale de l’Acier" (EIA) was founded in Luxembourg, in which Luxembourg and neighbouring countries set quotas for their steel production. Émile Mayrisch became the president of this cartel.

paragraph: In 1922 Mayrisch bought most of the shares in the liberal "Luxemburger Zeitung", in which he could bring his ideas on German-French understanding to the fore. In addition, he founded the Comité Franco-Allemand d'Information et de Documentation (Deutsch-Französisches Studienkomitee) in 1926. This committee, with offices in Paris and Berlin, made an effort to combat misinformation that the two countries spread about each other.

paragraph: In 1926, he was honoured by his alma mater, the RWTH in Aachen, and received an honorary doctorate.

paragraph: He died in 1928 in a car accident, on his was to Paris for a meeting of the EIA.

Nick Vlastuin's statistics

categories: Richmond Football Club players,1994 births,Northern Knights players,Living people,Australian rules footballers from Victoria (Australia)

paragraph: Nick Vlastuin

paragraph: Nicholas Alexander Leendert Vlastuin (; born 19 April 1994) is a professional Australian rules footballer playing for the Richmond Football Club in the Australian Football League (AFL). Vlastuin was a premiership player with the club in 2017. He plays as a hybrid defender, adept at playing on tall and small forwards as well as rebounding from defensive 50.

paragraph: Section::::Early life and junior football.

paragraph: Vlastuin spent his formative years living in Eltham North, a suburb in Melbourne's north-east. He played his junior football at Eltham in the Northern Football League before moving to the Northern Knights in the TAC Cup at the age of 14.

paragraph: In 2011 Vlastuin represented the premiership winning Victorian Metro side at the Under-18 National championships. He returned to the team in 2012, this time captaining the side to the competition title. He was also named All-Australian for his performances in the tournament.

paragraph: As an Under-18 player Vlastuin was also a member of the AFL-AIS academy; an elite training program for 30 of the country's best young footballers.

paragraph: Vlastuin completed high school at St Helena Secondary College in 2011. In addition to football commitments, he worked as a pool lifeguard during 2012.

paragraph: Section::::AFL career.

paragraph: Vlastuin was drafted with 's first pick and the ninth selection overall in the 2012 AFL Draft .

paragraph: Vlastuin made his AFL debut in round 5 of the 2013 AFL season in an away game against Fremantle at Subiaco Oval. In round 7 of the same season he was nominated for the 2013 AFL Rising Star after a 23 possession game against Port Adelaide. He also kicked his first career goal in the match. He would go on to play 18 games in his first season, recording an average of 16.3 disposals and 4.8 marks per game and placing sixth in the Rising Star award. In addition he received the Cosgrove-Jenkins award as the club's best first-year player.

paragraph: Vlastuin began 2014 in the club's best-22, playing in round one against . In fact, he played in each of the club's first seven matches before suffering a broken finger in round 9 against . He would return to football relatively quickly however, missing just two rounds of AFL action. Between rounds 15 and 18 he was prolific floating forward, kicking a goal in each of the three matches. He finished the season having played 20 matches at AFL level, including a finals series appearance for the second straight season. Vlastuin placed seventh at the club for tackles and ninth for rebound 50s in 2014.

paragraph: In his third year at the club, Vlastuin managed to play in all 23 possible matches. He recorded double digit possessions in every match in 2015 and finished top-ten at the club for tackles and rebound 50s. He placed sixth in the club's best-and-fairest award, his highest place to date. He was also nominated for the AFLPA's 22 Under 22 team but would fail to make the final team. At season's end he underwent minor hip surgery.

paragraph: At the beginning of the 2016 season, Vlastuin adopted the #1 guernsey, worn the previous year by retiring former club captain and personal backline mentor, Chris Newman. In an under strength side for the club's first pre-season tournament match he played the role of captain, despite not being a member of the club's leadership group. He played in each of the club's first four matches that season before a leg injury kept him out of action for two matches. Upon his return in round 7 he took on a midfield role, replacing the injured Trent Cotchin. He recorded 16 disposals, six tackles and a goal in the match but did not reprise the role on a regular basis that season. Vlastuin suffered a concussion in the second quarter of the club's round 11 loss to . In addition to missing the remainder of the match he sat out two more games, not returning until after the bye, in a round 14 match against . From that point forward he did not miss a match, finishing the season having played 19 games in 2016. He was again nominated to the 22 Under 22 squad that season but would go unselected for the second straight season. He placed ninth in the club's best and fairest count in 2016.

paragraph: Prior to the 2017 season, Richmond's coaches pegged Vlastuin for a move to a more stoppage focused role. He ceased training with the club's backline specific group and moved into the club's midfield training group. Vlastuin was a key member of Richmond's strong start to the 2017 season, playing in the club's round 1 victory over Carlton. He kicked a goal during the match while his 12 tackles for the match set a career best. Vlastuin suffered a broken nose and concussion in the club's round 3 win over . He played with the lingering effects of the injury in round 4 before concussion symptoms saw him sit out the club's round 5 match against . Vlastuin suffered a shoulder injury in the second quarter of his side's round 7 match against the . Scans later revealed a small scapula fracture with initial estimations suggesting he would miss three to four weeks of play. He ultimately missed more than two months of AFL football, returning to the club's senior side in round 17 following a fortnight of matches in the VFL. He would however return to his previous home in the backline, with his midfield move scuttled by his injury, by previous injuries to key backline personnel and by the emergence of young midfielder Jack Graham. Vlastuin was back to his best in that role, lifting his metres gained average from 20th at the club to third as well as his intercept possession count from 1.8 to 8.3, good for ninth in the whole league. In round 18 he was among the Tigers' best, recording 11 marks and 21 possessions (including 13 intercept possessions) in the club's win over the GWS Giants. He held his form into the finals series, playing a "pivotal" role in Richmond's qualifying final win over Geelong. When Vlastuin and the Tigers won over in the preliminary final, he was lined up to defend 's Eddie Betts in the grand final. Vlastuin started slow, giving up a goal to Betts early in the first quarter. He turned his performance around however and contributed 16 possessions and six rebound 50s to Richmond's first premiership winning side in 37 years. He played 16 matches that season and finished 2017 as a premiership player.

paragraph: After playing well in each of Richmond's two 2018 pre-season matches, Vlastuin contributed 12 disposals in the club's season-opening win over Carlton. He suffered a delayed concussion from that match however, forcing him to miss round 2's grand final re-match with . Vlastuin returned after just one match on the sidelines but was handed a $2,000 fine for a rough conduct charge picked up during that round 3 win over . Two weeks later Vlastuin was ruled out of the club's round 5 ANZAC Day eve match against with a minor calf strain. He again missed just a single match, returning to play his 100th career match in round 6's win over . After season-best totals of 26 disposals and 12 marks against in round 8, Vlastuin ranked second at Richmond for intercept possessions with an average of 7.5 per game. In round 10 Vlastuin was forced to play the second half of a match against as a forward after Richmond full-forward Jack Riewoldt sustained a concussion mid-match. Vlastuin performed strongly in the role, kicking an equal career-best three goals. In round 13's win over , Vlastuin was named among the best players on the ground by "AFL Media" and the "Australian Associated Press" and received best on ground honours from the coaches with nine votes in the coaches association award following a 21 disposal and 11 mark performance. To that point he ranked 14th in the league for intercepts per game. Following the bye Vlastuin was again prolific, notching 21 disposals, 10 marks, a goal and six coaches votes that also saw him named in "AFL Media"'s Team of the Week. However, he also attracted a one match suspension for an elbow to the face of midfielder Luke Parker that saw him miss one match in round 16. At the beginning of August "Fox Footy" analyst David King labelled Vlastuin "a Luke Hodge clone" and the "AFL’s most prolific intercept marker across the half-back flank (in 2018)". Vlastuin closed out the home and away season with win's in each of Richmond's last six matches that saw the club finish as minor premiers. Despite being unselected in the league's All-Australian squad, Vlastuin was named to the best 22 in "The Age" chief football reporter Jake Niall's team of the year, "in recognition of his rise to become an elite backman". Richmond opened the finals series with a qualifying final victory over where Vlastuin was identified by "AFL Media" as a key part of his club's "almost impassable" defence. His finals run would extend just one more match however, when Richmond was eliminated with a shock preliminary final loss to rivals . Following the conclusion of the 2018 finals series, Vlastuin was named as a close miss

paragraph: by the "Herald Sun's" chief football writer Mark Robinson in his list of the 50 best players from the 2018 season. After 21 matches and new career highs in marks and disposals per game, Vlastuin placed eighth in the club's best and fairest award.

paragraph: Vlastuin started the 2019 season with appearances in each of the club's two pre-season matches, though played only restricted game time in second due to minor soreness. He was fully fit for the club's season opening match against , where he contributed 14 disposals. The loss of All-Australian defender and teammate Alex Rance to an ACL injury in that match however, would force Vlastuin into a more defensive role that in seasons past, becoming responsible for negating oppositions teams' third forward. In the week following Rance's injury, "Fox Footy" analyst David King labelled Vlastuin the Richmond player most capable of replacing Rance's prowess as an intercept player. When all three members of Richmond's leadership group were ruled out from playing in round 4, "AFL Media" named Vlastuin the front runner to captain the side that weekend, though he would eventually be passed over for the role in favour of veteren Shane Edwards. Two weeks later Vlastuin would show leadership of another kind, named best on ground with a maximum ten coaches award votes for a 28 disposals performance for which he was also named to "AFL Media's" Team of the Week. In his next match in round 7, Vlastuin would suffer a minor ankle injury during a loss to the . Though he would return to the field to play out the match, a mid-week flare up on symptoms would cause Vlastuin to miss the following week's match as a result of the injury. Vlastuin returned to the side in round 9, playing a dual role as defender and midfielder while kicking his first goal of the year and adding 24 disposals. He suffered a knock to the hip in round 12 that saw him in some doubt for round 13's match against , but eventually recovered in time to post 24 disposals. Vlastuin recorded more than 20 disposals in three of his next five games following that match, including in round 19 where he received one coaches award vote for a performance that included his then season-best total of eight rebound-50s.

paragraph: Vlastuin is contracted to Richmond until at least the end of the 2021 season.

paragraph: Christopher Thomson, 1st Baron Thomson

paragraph: Christopher Birdwood Thomson, 1st Baron Thomson, (13 April 1875 – 5 October 1930) was a British Army officer who went on to serve as a Labour minister and peer. He served as Secretary of State for Air under Ramsay MacDonald in 1924 and between 1929 and 1930, when he was killed in the R101 disaster.

paragraph: Section::::Early life.

paragraph: Born in Nasik (now Nashik) in the Bombay Presidency of India to a military family, Thomson attended Cheltenham College. His father was Major-General David Thompson, Royal Engineers, and his mother was the daughter of Major-General Christopher Birdwood; William Birdwood, 1st Baron Birdwood was another grandson of Major-General Birdwood.

paragraph: Section::::Career.

paragraph: Section::::Career.:Military.

paragraph: After graduating from the Royal Military Academy, Woolwich, in 1894, Thomson was commissioned into the Royal Engineers. He served first in Mauritius and then saw action during the Second Boer War (1899-1902) during which he was in command of a field company section and was mentioned in dispatches. He also had his first encounter with aviation when he was detailed to help with the RE Balloon Section outside Kimberley. After the war he became an instructor at the School of Military Engineering at Chatham and then at Sierra Leone. He was promoted to captain and brevet major in 1904 and in 1909 joined the Army Staff College in Camberley. In 1911 he went to the War Office, and in 1912 Thomson was appointed military attaché with the Serbian army during the first and Second Balkan Wars, after which he returned to the War Office in 1913.

paragraph: During the First World War Thomson first served at the British Expeditionary Force Headquarters and was Chief Military Interpreter between Sir John French and General Joffre. In 1915 he was sent to Bucharest as military attaché on Kitchener initiative to bring Romania into the war. But when there he quickly formed the view that an unprepared and ill-armed Romania facing a war on three fronts against Austria-Hungary, Turkey and Bulgaria would be a liability rather than an asset to the allies. This view was brushed aside by Whitehall, and he signed a Military Convention with Romania on 13 August 1916. By the end of 1916 he had to alleviate the consequences of Romania's capitulation, and he supervised the destruction of the Romanian oil wells to deny them to Germany.

paragraph: After a distinguished wartime career both behind the lines and at the front, most notably at Jericho in the Palestine Campaign, Lt. Colonel Thomson formed part of the British delegation at the Versailles conference, but condemned the Versailles terms as "containing the seeds of another war." As in Romania where he followed a policy (of making Romania an ally) that he did not agree with, he found both experiences profoundly negative.

paragraph: Section::::Career.:Politics.

paragraph: After Versailles Thomson made the decision to enter politics, and joined the Labour Party and Fabian Society. He stood as Labour candidate in two Tory strongholds, Bristol Central in 1922 and St Albans in 1923, but failed to win either seat. In 1924, however, newly elected Labour Prime Minister Ramsay MacDonald elevated him to the peerage as Baron Thomson, of Cardington in the County of Bedford. He was sworn of the Privy Council at the same time. He served as Secretary of State for Air in Macdonald's first short lived Labour administration of 1924 - interrupting briefly Sir Samuel Hoare's seven year grip on the post. The fall of the government meant that it was not until 1929 that he regained the position, once again serving under Macdonald. In the interim he had maintained his air interests acting as chairman of the Royal Aeronautical Society and the Royal Aero Club, and patron of the Air League.

paragraph: Section::::Private life.

paragraph: Thomson was known as Kit to his family and C. B. to his friends. In March 1915 while British military attache in Bucharest, he met the (married) French-Romanian author Princess Marthe Bibesco, and remained devoted to her for the rest of his life. They corresponded regularly. She dedicated four books to "C.B.T." and visited the site of the R101 accident with their mutual friend the Abbé Mugnier in December 1930.

paragraph: Section::::Death.

paragraph: His second term in office was cut short by tragedy as Thomson died in the crash of the R101 airship, a government designed dirigible, on its maiden flight to Karachi in October 1930. The accident claimed the lives of 48 people and led to the cancellation of the British airship programme by Thomson's successor as air minister, Lord Amulree.

paragraph: Trey Spruance

paragraph: Preston Lea "Trey" Spruance III (born August 14, 1969) is an American composer, producer, and musician who co-founded the experimental rock band Mr. Bungle. He is also leader of the multi-genre outfit Secret Chiefs 3. Originally a guitarist and trumpeter, Spruance later began playing vintage electronic organs, saz, santur, electric sitar, tar, pipa, and various other string and percussion instruments.

paragraph: Spruance's playing and composition style is influenced by many diverse genres of music, such as surf rock, Anatolian folk, death metal, film music, Afghan rebab music, ska, funk, space rock, jazz and Japanoise. Musique concrète and foley work also play a large role in his recordings.

paragraph: Section::::History.

paragraph: Spruance was a founding member of Mr. Bungle, along with Mike Patton and Trevor Dunn. He has focused on his band Secret Chiefs 3 for the last 15 years (though it began in 1996), and its seven "satellite" groups first introduced on the 2004 album "Book of Horizons". Though once secular, Spruance began exploring religious and philosophical themes in Mr. Bungle and Secret Chiefs 3 in the mid-1990s, after joining the Eastern Orthodox Church. Since 2007 Spruance has performed with Secret Chiefs 3 in over 50 countries.

paragraph: In 2013 he arranged his music for the 61-piece Traditional Russian Orchestra of Krasnoyarsk and performed with them in Kansk, Siberia, alongside other members of Secret Chiefs 3. He has performed regularly with John Zorn and has arranged two releases of works from Zorn's Masada Songbooks for Secret Chiefs 3: "" in 2007, and "Beriah". He contributed guitar and tubular bells to two albums by the drone metal band Asva, with whom he toured the US and Europe. He also recorded with Patton and Faith No More on their 1995 album "King for a Day... Fool for a Lifetime".

paragraph: Spruance has also composed scores for two animated films by his friend Tawd B. Dorenfeld, "The Anna Cabrini Chronicles" and "Aylaqruh:hurqalyA".

paragraph: Section::::As a producer.

paragraph: Besides his own bands, Spruance has also worked as a producer for others. In 2001, he produced Chicago rock band Tub ring's first full-length album, Drake Equation. In 2004, he produced the "Death After Life" for Oakland, CA death metal group Impaled and contributed guitar solos for the songs "Resurrectionists", and "Medical Waste". Other production duties have included "I'll Have What's She's Having" (2004) by The Tuna Helpers and Faxed Head's "Chiropractic" (2001).

paragraph: Section::::Record label.

paragraph: Spruance is the founder of Mimicry Recordings, which has released albums from a variety of different bands, including Cleric, Fat32, Sleepytime Gorilla Museum, Brazzaville, Matt Chamberlain, Dengue Fever, and ASVA, amongst others.

paragraph: Einar Englund

paragraph: Sven Einar Englund (June 17, 1916 – June 27, 1999) was a Finnish composer.

paragraph: Section::::Life.

paragraph: Sven Einar Englund was born at Ljugarn in Gotland, Sweden, on June 17, 1916; he died June 27, 1999 in Visby, Sweden. He married twice: in 1941 to Meri Mirjam Gyllenbögel, who died 1956 (they had one son and two daughters including the ballerina and choreographer Sorella Englund); and in 1958 he married , a singer, with whom he had one son.

paragraph: One of the most important Finnish symphonists since Jean Sibelius, Englund was a native Swedish speaker who often felt that his career was sidelined from the mainstream of Finnish music.

paragraph: He was 17 when he began studies at the Helsinki Conservatory (now the Sibelius Academy) in 1933. Already a considerable pianist, he continued his studies with Martti Paavola and Ernst Linko while studying composition with Bengt Carlson and Selim Palmgren.

paragraph: Following his graduation in 1941, Englund was conscripted into military service. During his time in the Finnish Continuation War he was wounded in his hand, which almost brought to an end his hopes of pursuing a career as a concert pianist. He would often recall the bizarre, though life-threatening incident, with a smile.

paragraph: Section::::Music.

paragraph: Englund's first work for large orchestra was his First Symphony (1946), which became known as the "War Symphony". This was no apprentice piece; the use of counterpoint, dissonance and orchestration of singular clarity reveals a master at work. His Second Symphony, the "Blackbird Symphony", soon followed the first.

paragraph: In 1949 Englund was awarded a grant to study in the United States with Aaron Copland, and he also played jazz with Leonard Bernstein. It has been suggested that Englund's study with the American master consisted of discussions about music and composition, Copland having realised that there was little he could teach the younger man.

paragraph: Throughout the 1950s he produced a series of large-scale works including "Sinuhe", a ballet (1953) originally for piano though later orchestrated, and "Odysseus" (1959), written for the Swedish dancer and choreographer Brigit Cullberg, a Cello Concerto (1954) and the First Piano Concerto (1955), as well as film scores and incidental music. His score for Erik Blomberg’s "Valkoinen peura" (The White Reindeer), which won a Jussi Award (the Finnish Oscar), and his score for Max Frisch’s play "The Great Wall of China" are particularly notable.

paragraph: He composed music for twenty films, as well as works for choir including the "Hymnus Sepulcralis" (1975).

paragraph: During the 1950s, with his second wife, the singer Maynie Sirén, he performed a cabaret act; he was music critic of the Swedish-language "Hufvudstadsbladet", and he taught at the Sibelius Academy from 1958 until 1982.

paragraph: His Third Symphony (1971) appeared 23 years after his second and signalled his return to composition; he had written only a few works during the 1960s. There soon followed his Fourth (1976) and Fifth Symphonies (1977) and the Concerto for Twelve Cellos (1981).

paragraph: Englund’s Sixth Symphony (1984), subtitled "Aphorisms", is in six movements for chorus and orchestra; his last symphony, the Seventh, was composed in 1988, coinciding with the onset of the heart disease that signalled a decline in health and would ultimately lead to his death. His Clarinet Concerto of 1991 was completed shortly before a stroke rendered further composition physically impossible. Later he suffered from kidney failure, which necessitated dialysis for the remainder of his life.

paragraph: Englund also composed chamber music, including a suite for solo cello and a sonata for cello and piano; there are also works for violin and piano, solo trombone, and solo piano.

paragraph: His memoirs, "I Skuggan av Sibelius" (In the Shadow of Sibelius), were published in 1997.

paragraph: Will Dyson

paragraph: William Henry Dyson (3 September 1880 – 21 January 1938) was an Australian illustrator and political cartoonist.

paragraph: It was shortly after his wife's death that he drew what was to become one of the most celebrated and widely reproduced of all cartoons, entitled "Peace and Future Cannon Fodder" and astonishing in its uncanny foresight. Published in the British Daily Herald on 13 May 1919, it showed David Lloyd George, Vittorio Orlando and Georges Clemenceau (the Prime Ministers of Britain, Italy and France respectively), together with Woodrow Wilson, the President of the United States, emerging after a meeting at Versailles to discuss the Peace Treaty. Clemenceau, who was identified by his nickname "The Tiger", is saying to the others: "Curious! I seem to hear a child weeping!". And there, behind a pillar, is a child in tears; it is labelled "1940 Class".

paragraph: Section::::Legacy.

paragraph: Dyson's friend and colleague Charles Bean suggested that the Australian War Memorial should have a special Dyson gallery, so high was his respect for Dyson's work. In 2016, the Memorial held more than 270 of Dyson's works, but had none of them on display.

paragraph: Shelomo Dov Goitein

paragraph: Shelomo Dov Goitein (April 3, 1900 – February 6, 1985) was a German-Jewish ethnographer, historian and Arabist known for his research on Jewish life in the Islamic Middle Ages, and particularly on the Cairo Geniza.

paragraph: Section::::Biography.

paragraph: Shelomo Dov (Fritz) Goitein was born in the town of Burgkunstadt in Upper Franconia, Germany; his father, Dr. Eduard Goitein, was born in Hungary to a long line of rabbis. The name Goitein points probably to Kojetín in Moravia as the city of origin of the family. He was brought up with both secular and Talmudic education. In 1914 his father died and the family moved to Frankfurt am Main, where he finished high school and university.

paragraph: During 1918–23 he studied Arabic and Islam at the University of Frankfurt under the guidance of the famous scholar Josef Horovitz, while continuing his Talmudic study with a private teacher. He left the university with a dissertation on prayer in Islam. In the year 1923, Goitein fulfilled his lifelong dream and immigrated together with Gershom Scholem sailing to Palestine, where he stayed for thirty-four years. He lived four years in Haifa until he was invited to lecture at the Hebrew University of Jerusalem, which had been inaugurated two years earlier. In Jerusalem, he married Theresa Gottlieb (1900–1987), a eurhythmics teacher who composed songs and plays for children. They had three children, Ayala, Ofra, and Elon.

paragraph: In 1957 he moved to the United States where he felt more able to remain focused on his studies. He settled in Philadelphia and worked at the Institute for Advanced Study in Princeton. He died on February 6, 1985, the day his last volume of the series "A Mediterranean Society: The Jewish Communities of the Arab World as Portrayed in the Documents of the Cairo Geniza" (vol. 6) was sent to the publisher.

paragraph: Section::::Academic career.

paragraph: In 1918–23, Goitein attended the universities of Frankfurt and Berlin and studied Islamic history under Josef Horovitz. His Ph.D. thesis was "on prayer in Islam." He also pursued Jewish studies, and was a leader in the Zionist Youth Movement. In 1923 he immigrated to Palestine, where he taught Bible and Hebrew language at the Reali School in Haifa. In 1927 he wrote a play called "Pulcellina" about the blood libel killings in Blois in 1171. In 1928, he was appointed professor of Islamic History and Islamic Studies at the Hebrew University of Jerusalem. He was founder of the School of Asian and African studies and of the Israel Oriental Society. In 1928, he began his research of the language, culture and history of the Jews of Yemen. In 1949, he did research in Aden, questioning the Jews who gathered there from all parts of Yemen before being flown to Israel. In 1938-1948, he served as a senior education officer in Mandatory Palestine, responsible for Jewish and Arab Schools, and published books on methods of teaching the Bible and Hebrew.

paragraph: From 1948, Goitein began his life's work on the Cairo Geniza documents. An especially rich geniza with a large volume of correspondence was discovered in Old Cairo containing thousands of documents dating from the 9th to the 13th centuries. Since Jews began every letter or document with the words "With the help of God," the papers reflected all aspects of everyday life in the countries of North Africa and bordering the Mediterranean. The documents included many letters from Jewish traders "en route" from Tunisia and Egypt to Yemen and ultimately to India. The papers were mostly written in Judeo-Arabic characters. After deciphering the documents, Goitein vividly reconstructed many aspects of Jewish life in the Middle Ages, publishing them in a six-volume monumental series, "A Mediterranean Society: The Jewish communities of the Arab World as Portrayed in the Documents of the Cairo Geniza" (1967–1993). Although the documents were written by Jews, they reflect the surrounding Moslem and Christian environments not only in countries bordering the Mediterranean but all the way to India. This has thrown new light on the whole study of the Middle Ages.

paragraph: Section::::Agnon correspondence.

paragraph: Goitein's lengthy correspondence with the Nobel Prize-winning author S.Y. Agnon was published by his daughter, Ayala Gordon, in 2008. Agnon's wife, Esther, had studied Arabic privately with Goitein while she was a student at the University of Frankfurt. When Goitein moved to Jerusalem, he and Agnon became close friends. Most of the letters are from the mid-1950s onwards, after Goitein left Israel, a move of which Agnon was highly critical.

paragraph: Section::::Awards and recognition.
