paragraph: Ernest Eldridge

paragraph: Ernest Arthur Douglas Eldridge (18 July 1897 – 27 October 1937) was a British racing car driver who broke the world land speed record in 1924. His was the last land speed record set on an open road.

paragraph: Section::::Early life.

paragraph: Eldridge was born on 18 July 1897 at Hampstead, London to a wealthy family. His father was a successful bill discounter. Educated at Harrow School he quit while in the 6th form to go to the Western Front, in the First World War. Eldridge joined the British Red Cross Society and Order of St John of Jerusalem, possibly as an ambulance driver. He may have also served in the French Artillery.

paragraph: He married Majorie M. Tooth in 1915 at Brentford, Middlesex; she died before the Second World War. He married second, in 1925, a French woman named Marie whom he had "married" while still married to Marjorie

paragraph: Not much is known about the years between 1918 and 1921 when he reappeared at Brooklands. There are unconfirmed myths about him flying with Count Zborowski. He was a pilot, surviving a crash in a B.E.2e at Brooklands in September 1922. He learned to fly in a Sopwith Grasshopper at Brooklands and finally received his pilot's licence (Number 7944) on 21 August 1923 at Stag Lane Aerodrome, Edgware. His licence lists his profession as Automobile Engineer.

paragraph: Section::::Early life.:Racing career.

paragraph: The early part of his racing career is littered with failures of large, often aero engined, racing cars. His first racing appearance was in 1921 with a rare chain-driven Isotta Fraschini which was lapping at more than 90 mph.

paragraph: In 1922 Eldridge startled the Brooklands crowd by appearing with a Maybach aero engine in his 1907 Isotta Fraschini chassis, which had been stretched to accommodate the giant power plant. This 20-litre racer had a tiny two-seater body made by Jarvis of Wimbledon and caused something of a sensation, even when monstrosities were not uncommon in motor racing circles. It won its first race at more than but over all was not terribly successful. He sold it to a Frenchman who went under the "nom de course" of 'Le Champion'.

paragraph: Eldridge then turned to a 10-litre Fiat, which he drove with some success. With the proceeds he bought Mephistopheles, and embarked on his famous escapades. In October 1923 at Brooklands: "E. A. D. Eldridge set up new figures for the half-mile (standing start) world's record by covering the distance in 23.17secs. (77.68 miles an hour) on his giant 350 horse-power F.I.A.T." and taking the World Land Speed Record on 12 July 1924 at Arpajon, France, at an average of over the flying kilometre. In October 1924, at Montlhéry: "Mr. Eldridge covered 210 kilometres 230 metres in the hour, and at one time attained 218 kilometres (over 136 miles) an hour. This is claimed to be a world's record."

paragraph: In 1925 he sold Mephistopheles to 'Le Champion' and decided to enter the world of Grand Prix Motor Racing with cars of his own design, the Eldridge Specials. Based on Amilcar chassis with Anzani engines, these cars were entered at many races for the 1925 and 1926 seasons including the Brooklands 200, The San Sebastian, the L'ACF and the Italian GPs. He also entered two cars in the 1926 Indy 500, no doubt tempted by the prize money. He drove one car with Douglas Hawkes in the other.

paragraph: While in the United States, he tried a Miller 122, and was so impressed he ran it at Salem-Rockingham, Atlantic City and Altoona before returning to Europe to break records at Montlhéry. Whilst attempting speed records over the Christmas Holidays the front axle disintegrated, the car somersaulted, and Ernest was left with serious head injuries and the loss of an eye.

paragraph: Once recovered, he continued to take records with other cars, including a Chrysler at Montlhéry, and then became the "Record Attempt Manager" for Capt Eyston.

paragraph: In 1929, they meant to co-operate in a joint assault on the 750cc world records with a French-built Ratier. When it was ready for testing at Montlhéry, with Eyston away racing, Eldridge took the wheel. As Eyston recalled in his book "Flat Out", "I heard afterwards what a comic sight this had been. Ernest is by no means slim, and here he was sitting in a little bucket seat on the bare chassis, the wind ballooning his trousers and coat. He, I was told, looked like a true 'Bibendum' as he manipulated the chassis round Montlhéry."

paragraph: The Ratier project was scrapped, though, as the two friends became involved with the first-ever MG record car EX120. With Eyston at the wheel, it was the first 750cc car in the world to set records at more than 100 mph. Eldridge played an important part in the development of the pioneering EX120. He designed a counterbalanced crankshaft as part of the tuning work on the engine, before EX120's first visit to Montlhéry in December 1930. It took several records at speeds up to . Eldridge told Cecil Kimber of MG that the car would have to be supercharged, if it were to have any chance of heading off a rival 100 mph attempt by Malcolm Campbell in a blown Austin Seven.

paragraph: Kimber agreed, and Eldridge supervised the work as the engine was fitted with one of Eyston's Powerplus superchargers. And he was there at Montlhéry as Eyston's signaller, ""Uncle Ernest stood out in the middle of the straight opposite the timekeepers' box with a little flag in his hand. He would raise or lower it in accordance with the lap speed I was putting up.""

paragraph: Eyston had also been successful attacking records over longer distances with Hotchkiss and Panhard machinery, as well as the Rolls-Royce-engined, "Speed of the Wind" record breaker, that Eldridge helped design and went to Bonneville to manage the record attempt.

paragraph: It was whilst returning from a trip to Bonneville to supervise the record attempts that Eldridge contracted the pneumonia that he subsequently died from in Kensington. He was 40 years old.

paragraph: Ernest was considered a colourful character. He spent the family fortune on gambling, racing and flying. He once lost £60,000 playing "chemmy", in Monte Carlo in 1922, on the turn of one card.

paragraph: R. R. McIan

paragraph: Robert Ronald McIan (1803 – 13 December 1856), also Robert Ranald McIan, was a Scottish actor and painter. He is best known for romanticised depictions of Scottish clansmen, their battles and domestic life.

paragraph: His wife, Fanny McIan, was a painter and early teacher of art to women.

paragraph: Section::::Acting.

paragraph: McIan was born in Scotland, in 1803. He became an actor with the joint company of the Theatre Royals in Bristol and Bath before making his way to London. In 1838 he played at the Covent Garden Theatre and at Drury Lane in the following year. He gained a reputation for playing Highlanders on the stage, at a time when the novels of Sir Walter Scott had revived interest in Highland culture.

paragraph: It's not clear when he gave up the stage to devote himself to painting. He played the jester in the Eglinton Tournament of 1839 and the 1885 DNB says he retired in that year. A letter from Charles Dickens mentions seeing McIan perform on 23 June 1841, not long before McIan's wife started a steady job as a teacher.

paragraph: Section::::Personal life.

paragraph: WP Frith described McIan as "a Highlander and fierce Jacobite", Henry Vizetelly wrote that he "was generally voted an intolerable bore".

paragraph: McIan eloped with and married Frances (Fanny) Whitaker (c.1814–1897), daughter of a Bath cabinet maker. A friend described them as "The painter and his painter-wife – two who went hand in hand, and heart with heart, together through the world".

paragraph: Mrs McIan was a noted painter in her own right, who exhibited at the Royal Academy and other leading galleries. She too favoured historical subjects from the Highlands, such as "Highlander defending his Family at the Massacre of Glencoe". The Highlander in question would have been a MacDonald of Glencoe, also known as Clan McIan. From 1842 until Robert's death she was the first Superindent of the Female School of Design, which became the Royal Female School of Art and ultimately part of the Central School of Arts and Crafts.

paragraph: They moved to 9 Great Coram Street in 1843 and 36 Charlotte Street in 1849.

paragraph: Section::::Painting.

paragraph: McIan learnt to paint whilst he was an actor, and submitted his first landscape to the Royal Academy in 1836. He exhibited in the Suffolk Street Gallery in 1835 and 1837 whilst acting at the newly rebuilt English Opera House. His 1838 portrait of novelist Anna Maria Hall (Mrs S.C. Hall) was praised by Camilla Toulmin.

paragraph: He is perhaps best known for his illustrations in "The Clans of The Scottish Highlands", published in 1845 on the centenary of the Jacobite Rising with text by James Logan. It proved so popular that it was reissued in 1857, after his death. His depictions of clansmen fanned the romantic revival of interest in Gaeldom that was led by Queen Victoria, to whom the book was dedicated.

paragraph: McIan's early paintings concentrated on scenes from domestic life in the Highlands, such as illicit whisky stills and women grinding corn. These culminated in the 1848 sequel to the "Clans" book, entitled "Gaelic Gatherings: Or The Highlanders at Home, on the Heath, the River and the Loch".

paragraph: In later life his works increasingly took on overtly nationalistic subjects, celebrating the exploits of Highland soldiers against the English and overseas. Paintings of the 79th Cameron Highlanders were commissioned by Colonel Lauderdale Maule to celebrate the end of his ten-year colonelcy of the regiment in December 1852. "An Incident in the Revolutionary War of America" showed the 71st Fraser Highlanders' heroic defense at the Battle of Stono Ferry and was exhibited at the Royal Scottish Academy in 1854.

paragraph: McIan was elected an associate of the Royal Scottish Academy in 1852 and died at Hampstead, north London, on 13 December 1856.

paragraph: Evert Jakobsson

paragraph: Evert Brynolf Jakobsson (16 February 1886 – 16 July 1960) was a Finnish javelin thrower who competed at the 1908 Summer Olympics.

paragraph: Section::::Athletics.

paragraph: Evert Jakobsson with his brother Jarl emerged as javelin specialists in the summer of 1906. Their success was based on an alteration on the grip of the javelin. They had stapled two bits of stiff cord on it, improving its support for fingers. The existing world record by Eric Lemming was 53.90 metres, but with their enhancement, Evert broke it with 57.42 metres. He travelled to Stockholm in September 1906 to challenge Lemming. Although Lemming was victorious, he duplicated their grip and took back the record with 58.37 metres. At this point, the new grip was banned and all results achieved with it were disqualified, reverting the world record to 53.90.

paragraph: With the Jakobssons' grip, Evert had thrown a two-handed sum of 98.47 meters in 1906. The next summer, he threw significantly less in his only known participation at the Finnish Championships in Athletics:

paragraph: He entered three events at the Olympic Games:

paragraph: Section::::Family.

paragraph: His parents were father Gustaf Jakobsson and mother Josefina Torck. He married Elsa Savander in 1916. His brother Jarl Jakobsson was another Finnish 1908 Olympian. Figure skater Walter Jakobsson, who won Olympic gold in 1920 pair skating, was his cousin. Film director Jack Witikka was his son.

He soon excelled with his performances, having broken the Hungarian national record at an Olympic test event in June 1908 with 12.88 metres. At the 1908 Olympic Games he took the seventh place in the freestyle javelin throw and also participated in the Greek discus throw competition and in the discus throw event, however, his final ranking is unknown in both competitions. Four years later, yet as the competitor of Nagyatádi Atlétkiai Club, he finished sixth in the shot put competition.

paragraph: Beside competing in athletics, Mudin was also a mathematics, physics and natural history teacher in Nagyatád. Upon arriving to the school in 1911, he augmented the insect collection with 200 prepared butterflies. As a sportsman he called for an active sporting life and had imperishable role in the developing of the community sports activities in Somogy County. In 1912 he organized the first sports competition for boys' schools in the county, which later turned into a traditional contest. In 1913 Mudin relocated from Nagyatád to Kaposvár where he taught in the local school that today bears the name of Dániel Berzsenyi. He joined World War I a year later.

paragraph: Section::::Death and legacy.

paragraph: Arthur Marshall (American football)

paragraph: Arthur James Marshall Jr. (born April 29, 1969) is a former American football wide receiver in the National Football League. He was signed by the Denver Broncos as an undrafted free agent in 1992. He played college football at Georgia.

paragraph: Marshall also played for the New York Giants.

paragraph: Section::::Early life.

paragraph: Marshall played high school football for Hephzibah High which is located in Hephzibah, Georgia. He was born in Fort Gordon, Georgia.

paragraph: Section::::Collegiate career.

paragraph: Marshall was a stretch-the-field type of wide receiver for head coach Ray Goff and the University of Georgia from 1988–91. The 5-11, 175-pound speedster hauled in 39 receptions for 524 yards during his senior season in 1991 as the Bulldogs completed a 9-3 season ranked No. 19 by the AP College Football Poll.

paragraph: Additionally, Marshall returned kickoffs for Georgia as he had totalled 15 such returns for 347 yards averaging 23.1 per return during 1991.

paragraph: Section::::Professional career.

paragraph: Marshall was picked up by the Denver Broncos after going undrafted in the 1992 NFL Draft. As a rookie, Marshall had solid numbers for a No. 2 wide receiver with 26 catches for 493 yards and a touchdown. Denver finished the 1992 season at 8–8 while Marshall also handled the return duties for the Broncos. He totalled 33 punt returns for 349 yards while averaging 10.6 yards per return. Marshall's longest punt return was 47 yards that year while he also covered some kickoff returns—eight for 132 yards and a 16.5 yard average.

paragraph: In a game against the Dallas Cowboys, Marshall completed an 81-yard touchdown pass to Broncos' teammate Cedric Tillman. This tied a record held by Gary Hammond for the longest pass completion by a non-quarterback in NFL history. The record has since been equaled by Pittsburgh Steelers punter Josh Miller in 2003.

paragraph: In 1993, Marshall's Denver Broncos finished third in the AFC West Division at 9–7. He remained as one of quarterback John Elway's top receivers by hauling in 28 receptions for 360 yards and two scores. Their season came to an end following an AFC Wild Card matchup that pitted them against the Los Angeles Raiders on January 9, 1994. The Raiders won the contest, 42–24.

paragraph: Soon, Marshall joined his former Georgia Bulldogs teammate Rodney Hampton as he was picked up by Hampton's New York Giants in a trade made by Denver on April 26, 1994 for a seventh-round draft choice in return. Marshall's new team finished at 9-7 in '94 as he had 16 catches for 219 yards while playing in all 16 games. Also, Marshall resumed his kick return duties as he had 15 kickoff returns for 249 yards (16.6 average) that included a longest return of 30 yards.

paragraph: His last two seasons in the NFL were spent with the same franchise as the New York Giants struggled going 5-11 and 6-10 in 1995 and 1996 respectively. Marshall totalled 17 catches for 195 yards and a touchdown in 1995. In 1996, Marshall was used as the team's punt returner as he recorded 13 returns for 144 yards (11.1 average) and a longest return of 36 yards.

paragraph: Section::::Personal.

paragraph: In June 2010, Marshall was sentenced to 69 months in prison for bank fraud.

paragraph: Yunus Emre

paragraph: Yunus Emre () (1238–1320) was a Turkish poet and Sufi mystic who greatly influenced Anatolian culture. His name, "Yunus", is the equivalent to the English name "Jonah". He wrote in the Old Anatolian Turkish language, an early stage of modern Turkish. The UNESCO General Conference unanimously passed a resolution declaring 1991, the 750th anniversary of the poet's birth, "The International Yunus Emre Year".

paragraph: Section::::Biography.

paragraph: Yunus Emre has exercised immense influence on Turkish literature from his own day until the present, because Yunus Emre is, after Ahmet Yesevi and Sultan Walad, one of the first known poets to have composed works in the spoken Turkish of his own age and region rather than in Persian or Arabic. His diction remains very close to the popular speech of the people in Central and Western Anatolia. This is also the language of a number of anonymous folk-poets, folk-songs, fairy tales, riddles ("tekerlemeler"), and proverbs.

paragraph: Like the Oghuz "Book of Dede Korkut", an older and anonymous Central Asian epic, the Turkish folklore that inspired Yunus Emre in his occasional use of "tekerlemeler" as a poetic device had been handed down orally to him and his contemporaries. This strictly oral tradition continued for a long while. Following the Mongolian invasion of Anatolia facilitated by the Sultanate of Rûm's defeat at the 1243 Battle of Köse Dağ, Islamic mystic literature thrived in Anatolia, and Yunus Emre became one of its most distinguished poets. Poems of Sultan Yunus Emre — despite being fairly simple on the surface — evidence his skill in describing quite abstruse mystical concepts in a clear way. He remains a popular figure in a number of countries, stretching from Azerbaijan to the Balkans, with seven different and widely dispersed localities disputing the privilege of having his tomb within their boundaries.

paragraph: His poems, written in the tradition of Anatolian folk poetry, mainly concern divine love as well as human destiny:

paragraph: Ezequiel Zamora

paragraph: Ezequiel Zamora (; 1 February 1817 – 10 January 1860) was a Venezuelan soldier, and leader of the Federalists in the Federal War "(Guerra Federal)" of 1859-1863. His life was marked by the romanticism that characterized liberals of the time.

paragraph: Section::::Biography.

paragraph: Zamora was born in Cúa, Miranda State. His parents were Alejandro Zamora and Paula Correa, modest landowners belonging to the white social class. During the early years of his childhood, he received a basic education, typical of a rural area still disrupted by the struggle for independence from Spain.

paragraph: Later, Zamora moved to Caracas, where he continued his primary school studies, the only formal education he received. However, thanks to the influence of his brother-in-law John Caspers, he received informal political training, influenced by the revolutionary movements in Europe. Zamora completed his education thanks to his friendly relationship with the lawyer José Manuel García. Zamora learned modern philosophy and the foundations of Roman law, and soon advocated the "principles of equality" and the need for their implementation in Venezuela.

paragraph: In 1849, as a member of Liberal Party, he ran in the elections as a candidate for "elector" to the canton of Villa de Cura, but his nomination was opposed by conservatives, typically using fraudulent methods that he and all his friends and supporters saw as compulsive and illegal. This was a reflection of the tense situation between Liberals and Conservatives on a national level, in which bloody denouement had the intention to prevent a meeting between José Antonio Páez and Antonio Leocadio Guzman, father of Antonio Guzmán Blanco. The meeting of the two leaders was frustrated by spontaneous uprisings of peasants in the central region. Zamora immediately called to "make war with the Goths" to benefit the poor, while Paez was appointed Chief of the Army.

paragraph: Finally, Zamora was up in arms on 7 September 1846 in the town of Guambra. The people who started calling him "General of the Sovereign People" used essential slogans like "land and free men," "respect the peasant" and "disappearance of the Goths." After ridding the victorious actions of the Catfish, the Lions were defeated and captured at the Battle of the Laguna de Piedra on 26 March 1847. Zamora was sentenced to death by the courts of Villa de Cura on 27 July of the same year, but José Tadeo Monagas cut the sentence down to 10 years in prison. He escaped from the Ottawa Prison on the way to Maracaibo Prison, and found work as a laborer on a farm. The following year, he was pardoned.

paragraph: Sometime later, he joined the liberal army of José Tadeo Monagas, who fought against the landlords. In 1849, he captured Páez and took him, chained, to Caracas. In 1851, he was promoted to colonel. But the defeat of the landowners was temporary, and Zamora was exiled to the Caribbean. In October 1858, the Patriotic Meeting was formed and they began a rebellion against the general Juan Crisostomo Falcon, Zamora's brother in law.

paragraph: Section::::Biography.:Federal War.

paragraph: On 23 February 1859, as part of the Federal War, he disembarked from Curaçao to La Vela de Coro. He was named Chief Operator of the West, and made Coro a federal state (25 February 1859) and organized a provisional government in Venezuela (26 February 1859).

paragraph: On 23 March, he triumphed in the El Palito meeting, from which he planned to move toward the western plains. He took San Felipe on 28 March and reorganized the province as a federal entity with the name Yaracuy. On 10 December 1859, the "Battle of Santa Inés" occurred, in which Zamora defeated the Centralist army; this action was considered central to the process of the Federal War and a testimony to Zamora's exceptional qualities as a troop driver. After Santa Inés, Zamora moved toward the center of the country with 3,000 infantry and 300 cavalry, through Barinas and Portuguesa, but before approaching Caracas, he decided to attack the city of San Carlos, whose main square was defended by Major Benito Figueredo, with 700 men.

paragraph: During the preliminary actions for taking the square on 10 January 1860, Zamora was shot in the head, which caused his death. The cause of his death remains a mystery. Some say that the bullet came from his own side, obeying orders from Falcón and Guzmán Blanco. His unexpected passing changed the positive direction of the war for the Federalists, and resulted in a loss. For many, he was considered the most important popular leader of 19th-century Venezuela, and his remains rest in the National Pantheon in Caracas.

paragraph: Richard H. Kirk

paragraph: Richard Harold Kirk (born 21 March 1956) is an English musician who has specialised in electronic music since the 1970s. He is best known as a member of the influential industrial music band Cabaret Voltaire, formed in 1973. He has subsequently released projects under his own name and as part of various groups, including Sweet Exorcist, in styles such as techno.

paragraph: Section::::Background.

paragraph: Kirk first came to prominence in the 1970s as a member of the seminal industrial band Cabaret Voltaire. His first release as a solo artist, "Disposable Half-Truths", was released in 1980 and he maintained a career as a solo artist alongside Cabaret Voltaire until the band's dissolution in 1994. He reformed the band in 2014 as the sole remaining member, performing sporadicly with all-new material more akin to his solowork than the output of the original incarnation of Cabaret Voltaire.

paragraph: During the 1990s his solo output increased considerably. Kirk’s works have explored multiple types of electronic/dance music under many pseudonyms. His prolific work has resulted in AllMusic calling him contemporary techno's busiest man.

paragraph: Paul Collins (musician)

paragraph: Paul Vincent Collins (born 1956, New York City) is an American writer, author, music producer, and multi-instrumentalist. He is best known for his work in the power pop groups The Nerves, The Breakaways and The Beat.

paragraph: Section::::Biography.

paragraph: Paul Collins has released several solo projects with his alternative country group The Paul Collins Band, who play Americana music inspired by country rock and folk rock. Collins also continues to tour with his The Beat, an ever-changing lineup rock group which combines power pop with Alternative rock and punk rock.

paragraph: Paul Collins began his career as the drummer (and sometime singer & songwriter) in an influential Los Angeles power pop trio The Nerves, alongside Jack Lee and future Plimsouls frontman Peter Case. The band are best remembered for "Hanging on the Telephone", a song later made famous by Blondie. Hanging on the Telephone was written by Jack Lee.

paragraph: After Jack Lee left the Nerves, Paul Collins and Peter Case continued practicing and recording with a variety of guitarists as the Breakaways; their best known song is "Walking out on Love", a song frequently performed by the Nerves in concert but never recorded by them. Tapes of their sessions surfaced in the late 2000s and were released on a compilation album in 2009.

paragraph: Next, Paul Collins formed his own group as singer, rhythm guitarist, and songwriter for The Beat, sometimes called The Paul Collins Beat to avoid confusion with the British ska group also called The Beat (or The English Beat in the US).

paragraph: The Beat also known as The English Beat, were sued by Sony/Columbia in 1979. The same year, Sony/Columbia released Paul Collins' self-titled debut in 1979.

paragraph: Renamed the Paul Collins' Beat in the early 1980s, the band became icons in the genre of indie rock Paul Collins' Beat were in a constant state of touring and recording around the world. They appeared on Dick Clark's "American Bandstand" and contributed a song to the "Caddyshack" soundtrack, alongside Journey and Kenny Loggins. The band broke up in 1989, following the release of their sixth album, "One Night". Paul Collins continues to perform to this day with ever-changing versions of Paul Collins' Beat, in addition to his solo project, country-rock band called the Paul Collins Band.

paragraph: Since the early 1980s, Collins has been living on and off in Spain, where he has a particularly strong following, and spends most of his time performing in Europe and Japan, although he still holds citizenship in the United States. In fact, his two former wives are from Spain. During this time, he produced several Spanish pop bands, including La Granja, Los Limones and Los Protones.

paragraph: In 2005, Collins released his first solo album of the decade, "Flying High". The music received strong reviews and is reminiscent of the catchy power pop of The Beat, particularly in the opening song, "Rock and Roll Shoes". Additionally, "Flying High" showcases Paul Collins' alt-country, roots-rock and Americana styles, with the singles "Will You Be A Woman" and "Afton Place", which were released worldwide as music videos.

paragraph: During March 2008, Paul Collins released "Ribbon of Gold" as the follow-up to 2005's critically acclaimed "Flying High". This album contains several songs the band performs live in concert, including "Falling in Love With Her", "I Still Want You", "Big Pop Song" and "She Doesn't Want To Hang Around With You". In 2009, Paul Collins released a fictional autobiography, entitled "Mi madre, mi mentor y yo", in addition to writing a humour filled fictional autobiography "8 Million Stories: Pete The Fly". Copies of which seem nearly impossible to find.Paul Collins' Beat next release will be a split 7" with the Italian powerpop band Radio Days. The split will be released by the Italian label Surfin Ki Records in March 2010, followed by a full-length album released by Alive Naturalsound in Fall 2010.

paragraph: In 2012 Paul Collins recorded a version of "Here Comes That Rainy Day Feeling Again" for a fund raising cd titled "Super Hits of the Seventies" for radio station WFMU.

paragraph: Section::::Green Day and Broadway musical cover a Paul Collins song.

paragraph: In 2011, the American punk rock band Green Day launched the American Idiot Broadway Musical Production. Each night included a live rendition of the song "Walking Out on Love," which was written by Paul Collins. The song was previously recorded by Collins' groups The Beat, The Nerves and The Breakaways. Green Day frontman Billie Joe Armstrong is a fan of the song, which may appear on a future studio album by Green Day. To celebrate the success of the musical, The Paul Collins Beat joined Green Day onstage for live performances in New York.

paragraph: Section::::Paul Collins and Peter Case reunion tribute to the Nerves.

paragraph: In 2012, longtime friends and musical partners, Paul Collins and Peter Case announced a reunion tour paying tribute to their bands The Nerves, The Breakaways, The Beat and The Plimsouls. The touring band lineup for the Collins and Case tour was augmented by members of The Paul Collins Beat, Timm Buechler on bass and Amos Pitsch on drums, offering audiences with a full-band electric showcase. The tour included a date in Austin, Texas, where actor Bill Murray made a surprise appearance at the concert to introduce the band. Collins' group The Beat had previously appeared on the "Caddyshack" original motion picture soundtrack alongside Murray in 1979. Due to personality issues, Paul Collins was dismissed from the tour which continued without him.

paragraph: Section::::The Paul Collins Beat tour with The English Beat.

paragraph: In Fall 2012, The Paul Collins Beat joined a package tour "The Two Beats Hearting As One Tour," co-headlining with Two-tone Ska group The Beat. The English Beat and The Paul Collins Beat were both part of the "new wave" of bands to emerge from the late 1970s and early 1980s. Ironically, the styles of music they play are very different. Both bands helped to define their respective genres, making them legends. The tour package will include dates at large music halls, casinos, auditoriums and clubs. According to a September 2012 interview with Collins, "Contrary to what the internet fabricates, there never was and is no animosity toward The English Beat. I am still a big fan of The English Beat. Ska is really cool music. Dave is a good friend. He's always so nice and always upbeat. He's just as supportive of my music as I am of his. Both of our fanbases are enjoying hearing each other's music." According to an October 2012 press release, Dave Wakeling stated, "Paul and I originally met back in '83 and have been in touch occasionally over the years, but recently we've been in closer Facebook contact, which led to this idea becoming a reality...Two beats, hearting as one!”

paragraph: Section::::The Beat Army.

paragraph: During 2005, Collins launched a new music program and partner-based booking agency that was recently renamed as The Beat Army. Collins created a forum where fans, bands, clubs, venues, radio stations, music festivals, blogs and record stores can network. Groups have the opportunity to swap shows, while Collins cross-promotes his various musical projects and tours.

paragraph: The interaction between Paul Collins' Beat and other bands has enabled him to book shows on several continents and establish a worldwide network of industry friends, fans, musicians and artists from the genres of rock, punk rock, power pop, new wave, alternative rock, ska, garage rock, hardcore punk, classic rock and roll, skate punk, emo, melodic hardcore, grindcore, crust punk, grunge, skacore, heavy metal, Thrash metal, crossover thrash, metalcore, rapcore, post-hardcore and speed metal, alternative country, Americana, country rock, folk rock, rock and roll and rockabilly.

paragraph: The business model for The Beat Army is a simple process in which Paul Collins' Beat and regional bands join forces to book small tours on their own DIY style. The bands share equipment and transportation, lodgings are supplied by local bands and or fans who welcome the musicians into their homes. After hundreds of successful shows, with countless new and upcoming bands, The Beat Army has proven that you can tour today and avoid all the high costs associated with touring and still show a profit. All the bands participate in the financial reward on Beat Army Tours, making it a model for the new millennium of DIY touring.

paragraph: With Collins' solo albums distinctly different from his rock material and heavily rooted in the genres of American roots music, he continues to maintain a diversified fanbase. The Beat Army has enabled Collins to book shows with bands and artists in genres such as singer-songwriter, alternative country, Americana music, country rock, folk rock, and rockabilly.

paragraph: Constantine I of Georgia

paragraph: Constantine I (, ) (died 1412) was King of Georgia from 1405 or 1407 until his death in 1412. He is the common ancestor of all surviving branches of the Bagrationi dynasty.

paragraph: Section::::Biography.

paragraph: Constantine was the elder son of King Bagrat V of Georgia by his second wife, Anna of Trebizond. His maternal grandparents were Alexios III of Trebizond and Theodora Kantakouzene.

paragraph: In 1400, Constantine was sent as an ambassador to the Mongol warlord Timur Leng who continued a relentless war against the Georgians. Afterwards, he vainly demanded from his reigning half-brother George VII to make peace with Timur. In 1402, Constantine together with the prince Ioane Jakeli of Samtskhe submitted to Timur but never took part in the war against Georgia. He succeeded on the death of George VII as king in 1407 and launched a program of restoration of what had been ruined during Timur’s campaigns. Towards 1411, he allied with the Shirvanshah Ibrahim I and the ruler of Shaki Sidi Ahmed to counter the Kara Koyunlu Turkmen advance into the Caucasus. In the decisive Battle of Chalagan, the allies were routed and Constantine, his half-brother David and the Shervanshah Ibrahim were taken prisoner. In the captivity, he behaved arrogantly and the infuriated Turkoman prince Kara Yusuf ordered him, David, and 300 Georgian nobles to be executed. Kara Yusuf put Constantine to death by his own hand.

paragraph: Section::::Family.

paragraph: Constantine was married to Natia, daughter of Kutsna, Prince-Chamberlain ("amirejibi") of Georgia. There is little information available regarding Natia's family: it may have been the house of Khurtsidze from Samtskhe or the Gabelisdze, purported ancestors of the Amirejibi family, from Shida Kartli. Kutsna himself was ambassador at Constantinople around 1386.

paragraph: Constantine had three sons, Alexander, Bagrat and George, all of whom were co-opted by their father as co-kings between 1405 and 1408.

paragraph: Christopher Barker (officer of arms)

paragraph: Sir Christopher Barker (died 4 January 1550) was an officer of arms at the College of Arms in London.

paragraph: Section::::Early years.

paragraph: Christopher was the son of William Barker of Stokesley in the North Riding of Yorkshire (now North Yorkshire) and his wife, Joan, the daughter of William Carhill and sister of Sir Christopher Carhill, Norrey King of Arms. In adulthood, he lived in Newbury in Berkshire.

paragraph: Section::::Heraldic career.

He is known to have accompanied his employer on journeys to France in 1514 and 1515. On 1 November 1522 Barker was made a royal officer of arms as Richmond herald. In June 1536 he was promoted to Norroy King of Arms, and was quickly promoted to Garter Principal King of Arms on 15 July.

paragraph: As Garter King of Arms, Barker helped to organize ceremonies such as the christening of Prince Edward in 1537, the funeral of Queen Jane Seymour in the same year, the proclamation of Henry VIII as King of Ireland in 1541, and the funeral of Henry and the coronation of Edward in 1547. When Henry invaded France in person in 1544 Barker had a prominent place in front of the King's banner. Shortly before Henry's death Barker's evidence was crucial when Henry Howard, Earl of Surrey, was condemned to death for including the arms of Edward the Confessor among the many quarters in his own coat of arms.

Barker's third wife was Edith, widow of Robert Legge.

Barker was recorded as lying sick at Christmas 1549 and he died at Paternoster Row in London on 4 January 1550 and was buried in St Faith's under St Paul's. His widow survived him by only about six months. Many of his heraldic collections and manuscripts compiled by him survive at the College of Arms.

paragraph: Stanislas de Guaita

paragraph: Stanislas De Guaita (6 April 1861, Tarquimpol, Moselle – 19 December 1897, Tarquimpol) was a French poet based in Paris, an expert on esotericism and European mysticism, and an active member of the Rosicrucian Order. He was very celebrated and successful in his time. He had many disputes with other people who were involved with occultism and magic. Occultism and magic were part of his novels.

paragraph: Section::::Early life.

paragraph: De Guaita came from a noble Italian family who had relocated to France, and as such his title was 'Marquis', or Marquess. He was born in the castle of Alteville in the commune of Tarquimpol, Moselle, and went to school at the lyceum in Nancy, where he studied chemistry, metaphysics and Cabala. As a young man, he moved to Paris, and his luxurious apartment became a meeting place for poets, artists, and writers who were interested in esotericism and mysticism. In the 1880s, Guaita published two collections of poetry "The Dark Muse" (1883) and "The Mystic Rose" (1885), which became popular.

paragraph: Section::::Rosicrucian activities.

paragraph: De Guaita was influenced by the writings of l'Abbé Alphonse-Louis Constant, alias Eliphas Lévi, a prominent French occultist who was initiated in London to rosicrucianism by Edward Bulwer-Lytton in 1854. Eliphas Lévi was also initiated as a Freemason on 14 March 1861 in the Grand Orient de France Lodge "La Rose du Parfait Silence" at the Orient of Paris. De Guaita became further interested in occultism after reading a novel by Joséphin Péladan which was interwoven with Rosicrucian and occult themes. In Paris, de Guaita and Péladan became acquainted, and in 1884, the two decided to try to rebuild the Rosicrucian Brotherhood. They recruited Gérard Encausse to help rebuild the brotherhood. Encausse, who went by the pseudonym “Papus”, was a Spanish-born French physician and occultist who had written books on magic, Cabalah and the Tarot.

paragraph: In 1888, De Guaita founded the Cabalistic Order of the Rosicrucian. Rosicrucianism is a legendary and secretive Order that was first publicly documented in the early 17th century. Guaita's Rosicrucian Order provided training in the Cabala, an esoteric form of Jewish and Christian mysticism, which attempts to reveal hidden mystical insights in the Bible and divine nature. The order also conducted examinations and provided university degrees on Cabala topics. Guaita had a large private library of books on metaphysical issues, magic, and the "hidden sciences." He was nicknamed the "Prince of the Rosicrucians" by his contemporaries for his broad learning on Rosicrucian issues. Papus, Peladan, and Antoine de La Rochefoucauld were prominent members. Maurice Barrès was a close friend of De Guaita.

paragraph: In the late 1880s, the Abbé Boullan, a defrocked Catholic Priest and the head of a schismatic branch called the “Church of the Carmel” led a “magical war” against de Guaita. French-Belgian novelist Joris K. Huysmans, a supporter of Boullan, portrayed De Guaita as a Satanic sorcerer in the novel "La Bas". Another of Boullan’s supporters, the writer Jules Bois, challenged De Guaita to a pistol duel. De Guaita agreed and took part in the duel, but as both men missed, no one was hurt.

paragraph: By the 1890s, De Guaita's, Papus' and Péladan’s collaboration became increasingly strained by disagreements over strategy and doctrines. Guaita and Papus lost the support of Péladan, who left to start a competing order. De Guaita died in 1897 at the age of 36.

paragraph: His original drawing of an inverted pentagram with a goat's head appeared in "La Clef de la Magie Noire" ("The Key to Black Magic"), published the year he died.
