paragraph: Dizzee Rascal

paragraph: Dylan Kwabena Mills (born 18 September 1984), better known by his stage name Dizzee Rascal, is a British rapper, recording artist and record producer. A pioneer of grime music, his work has also incorporated elements of UK garage, bassline, British hip hop, and R&B. He released his acclaimed debut album "Boy in da Corner" in 2003. It earned him the 2003 Mercury Prize, and has since been considered a grime classic.

paragraph: Follow-up albums "Showtime", "Maths + English", and "Tongue n' Cheek" have been critically praised and certified platinum, with "Tongue n' Cheek" going platinum for sales exceeding 300,000 units in the United Kingdom. He has scored the number-one hits "Dance wiv Me", "Bonkers", "Holiday", "Dirtee Disco" and "Shout".

paragraph: Section::::Early life.

paragraph: Mills was born in London. His Nigerian father died when Dizzee was young, and he was raised in Bow, in a single-parent family, by his Ghanaian mother Priscilla, about whom he says, "I had issues as a kid. I was violent and disruptive. The way my mum helped was by finding me a different school every time I got kicked out, always fighting to keep me in the school system."

paragraph: He attended a series of schools in east London, including Langdon Park School, and was expelled from four of them, including St Paul's Way Community School. Reportedly, it was around this time that a teacher was the first to call him "Rascal". Cagey about exactly what Rascal's youthful "madnesses" entailed, in early interviews he mentioned fighting with teachers, stealing cars, and robbing pizza delivery men. In the fifth school, he was excluded from all classes except music. He also used to attend YATI (Young Actors Theatre Islington).

paragraph: He began making music on the school's computer, encouraged by a music teacher, and during the summer holidays attended a music workshop organised by Tower Hamlets Summer University, of which he is now a patron. He was a childhood friend of footballer Danny Shittu, whom he described as "almost like a big brother", and at whose house he made his first mixtapes and tracks. Unusually among his friends, he read the heavy metal magazine Kerrang! and was a fan of the grunge band Nirvana.

paragraph: Section::::Career.

paragraph: Section::::Career.:2000–2003: Early career.

paragraph: Around the age of 14, Dizzee Rascal became an amateur drum and bass DJ, also rapping over tracks as customary in sound system culture, and making occasional appearances on local pirate radio stations. Aged sixteen, he self-produced his first single, "I Luv U". In 2002, he jointly formed the Roll Deep Crew, a 13-piece garage collective, with former school friends. He also signed a solo deal with the record label XL.

paragraph: During his early career, Rascal worked with his mentor Wiley to create the still-unreleased song "We Ain't Having It" and rapped on some Sidewinder recordings. He made some instrumentals including "Go" and "Ho" and "Streetfighter". Rascal had an ongoing feud, from late 2003, with fellow underground grime MC Crazy Titch, which began when a fight broke out between the pair during a set on the pirate radio station Deja Vu FM. The set, which features many seminal early grime artists, was filmed, and has accumulated over a million views on YouTube and resulted in the two exchanging diss tracks.

paragraph: After winning a Sidewinder Award for Best Newcomer MC in 2002, Dizzee was a judge on the Sky1 show "Must Be The Music".

paragraph: He also did a verse on the Roll Deep remix of "Let's Push Things Forward" on the 2002 album "Weak Become Heroes" and 12" single by The Streets.

paragraph: Section::::Career.:2003–2004: "Boy in da Corner".

paragraph: Dizzee's first solo album, "Boy in da Corner", was released to universal critical acclaim in August 2003, entering the UK Top 40 at #40. The album would peak at #23. In the same week the album was released, whilst performing with Roll Deep Crew in Cyprus, Dizzee was stabbed six times. Many tabloids suggested that this event was connected to an apparent feud between Dizzee and garage act So Solid Crew, and his pinching Lisa Maffia's buttocks. After Dizzee was hospitalised, So Solid Crew member "Megaman" – real name Dwayne Vincent – was questioned about the incident, but was released by Cypriot police.

paragraph: Following the success of single "I Luv U" and the album, the second single from "Boy in da Corner" was "Fix Up, Look Sharp". The single, released in August 2003, gave Dizzee his first UK Top 20 single and also became the biggest hit from his debut album. In September, Dizzee was awarded the prestigious Mercury Prize for the best album of 2003. He was the youngest person at 19 years old to do so and the second rapper, after Ms. Dynamite the previous year. The album was also chosen as the No. 1 album of the year by Planet Sound, and as one of the top 50 albums of the year by "Rolling Stone". His unique style, as "words pour out at a high pitch and pace, as if syllables are the only thing that can hold back a scream", have given him a sound that hip hop heads can embrace as something new and original in the hip hop scene. Later in the year he collaborated with the Basement Jaxx on their third album, "Kish Kash" on the track "Lucky Star". The track was released as a single in November 2003 and gave Dizzee his third top 30 hit. The third and final single, taken from his debut album, was "Jus' a Rascal", which became his fourth top 30 success. The song was also featured in the film "Kidulthood" released in 2006.

paragraph: "Jezebel" was not a single from the album, but was well received, gaining exposure and popularity on the underground scene. The song told the tale of a young London girl, who through years of going to parties, getting drunk, doing drugs and having sex earned herself the title Jezebel. He made his US concert debut on 7 February 2004 at Volume in Williamsburg, Brooklyn.

paragraph: Section::::Career.:2004–2007: "Showtime".

paragraph: In 2004, Dizzee Rascal won the NME Award for Innovation. His second album, "Showtime", was released in September of the same year, eclipsing the peak of his debut album by entering the UK Albums Chart at #8. The first single from the album, released two weeks earlier in August 2004, was titled "Stand Up Tall"; it was written and produced by grime producer DJ Youngstar of Pulse-X. The title track was featured on the soundtrack for the first "FIFA Street" video game.

paragraph: The second single "Dream", another top 20 hit, was released in November 2004. It sampled (and used the chorus of) Captain Sensible's song "Happy Talk", originally from the makers of Rodgers and Hammerstein musical "South Pacific". The "Dream" music video consisted of a mock 1950s style children's marionette show depicting scenes corresponding to the lyrics about Dizzee's youth: street culture, crime, single teenage mothers, pirate radio and garage clubs.

paragraph: Later in 2004, Dizzee Rascal was part of Band Aid 20, a group of British musicians who re-recorded "Do They Know It's Christmas?" He did not sing in the song; rather, he rapped two lines of it ("Spare a thought this yuletide for the deprived, if the table was turned would you survive?" and "You ain't gotta feel guilt just selfless, give a little help to the helpless"). Dizzee Rascal was the first person to add to the song since the original was released; this would mark the first time that Dizzee reached the number one spot in the UK Singles Chart, albeit as part of the ensemble.

paragraph: In 2004, Dizzee Rascal made an international endorsement deal with urban brand Eckō Unltd. and designed his own shoe with Nike in 2005.

paragraph: In March 2005, the double A-side single "Off 2 Work" / "Graftin'" was released. "Graftin'" was the third and final single from the "Showtime" album, whilst "Off 2 Work" was a new track that did not appear on either of his albums. The accompanying music video featured Rascal in various ordinary workplace situations (as a policeman, a fast food vendor, a businessman, etc.) and as Prime Minister, announcing his engagement to Cherie Blair. It would prove to be Dizzee's lowest charting single to date, peaking outside the Top 40 at #44.

paragraph: Section::::Career.:2007–2009: "Maths + English".

paragraph: Dizzee's third album, "Maths + English", was released on 4 June 2007. He stated in an interview before the album's release that "Maths" refers to producing, in terms of beats, deals and money and "English" to writing lyrics. The first single off this album, "Sirens", was released on 21 May.

paragraph: The album was one of the 12 nominees for the 2007 Mercury Prize, which ultimately went to Klaxons' album "Myths of the Near Future". During the year, Dizzee worked with cross-genre artist Beck on a remix of the song "Hell Yes", and provided guest vocals on an Arctic Monkeys track, the B-Side to their single "Brianstorm" named "Temptation Greets You Like Your Naughty Friend". Dizzee's version of the same song was featured as "Temptation" on his third album.

paragraph: The official US album was released on 29 April 2008; it contained two tracks not on the European release, but it did not include the track "Pussyole'". It was Dizzee's first album to be released under the Definitive Jux label.

paragraph: In 2008, Rascal recorded a song for suicide charity CALM; the song "Dean" was about a friend of Dizzee's who took his own life. In December of that year, he was arrested following an alleged incident involving a baseball bat in southeast London. He was released on bail to return to a police station later in December.

paragraph: Section::::Career.:2009–2012: "Tongue n' Cheek".

paragraph: Rascal released his fourth studio album, "Tongue n' Cheek," on 21 September 2009. It included his four number-one hits "Dance wiv Me", "Bonkers (with Armand Van Helden), "Holiday" and "Dirtee Disco". Its release was announced on "Friday Night with Jonathan Ross", where Dizzee Rascal revealed some details about the album, including track information and production. In a collaboration track with Chase & Status titled "Heavy", Dizzee Rascal said, "Grime had a little time without me still no grime without me, No life without me, no risky roads, no grime daily" seemingly seeking to create the impression that grime had petered out since he left the scene. On 23 May 2008, Calvin Harris, whom he collaborated with on the number-one hit "Dance Wiv Me", revealed on his Twitter that he was producing a Dizzee track; at the Evolution Festival, Newcastle, and when on tour supporting The Prodigy, he confirmed that two new singles called "Road Rage" and "Dirtee Cash", both of which featured on the album, would be released. "Dirtee Cash" peaked at No. 10 and Road Rage was never released as a single.

paragraph: At the 30th annual Brit Awards, Dizzee Rascal won the award for Best British Male. He later performed a mash-up entitled "You Got the Dirtee Love" with Florence and the Machine. This collaboration was released as a charity single the following day and peaked at number 2 in the UK charts.

paragraph: On 31 May 2010 Dizzee re-released the album "Tongue n' Cheek" with a few new tracks including "Dirtee Disco", which was released on 24 May 2010. The track went to number 1 on the UK Singles Chart.

paragraph: In August 2010, it was revealed that he was to collaborate with Colombian popstar Shakira on the English version of "Loca", the lead single of her album "Sale el Sol". He stated that "I know it sounds a bit mad now, but you'll see it and see what's going on, it's me doing something different man, on a merengue tip". On the week of 14 October 2010, Dizzee made his first appearance on the US "Billboard" Hot 100 after the song peaked number 32.

paragraph: On 6 February 2011, it was announced Dizzee would support the Red Hot Chili Peppers at their Knebworth House show in the summer.

paragraph: Section::::Career.:2012–2017: "DirteeTV.com" and "The Fifth".

paragraph: On New Year's Day 2011, Dizzee Rascal released "DirteeTV.com" alongside the Newham Generals, D Double E and Footsie. The 25-track mixtape was released as a free download, and included features from fellow rappers JME, Kano, Scrufizzer, Example, Rapid, Chronik, Hyper and Smurfie Syco. The mixtape featured tracks by Rascal both new and old.

paragraph: In 2012 he was also expected to have a collaboration with Snoop Dogg on either his new album or Snoop Dogg's new album "Reincarnated". His first collaboration with DJ Fresh, "The Power" was the third single from Fresh's third studio album, released in September 2012. Dizzee performed during the opening ceremony of the 2012 London Olympics.

paragraph: On Calvin Harris's third studio album, "18 Months", Dizzee Rascal paired up with Harris and Dillon Francis to create the track "Here 2 China".

paragraph: Rascal's album "The Fifth" was released in 2013. The lead single was "Goin' Crazy" featuring Robbie Williams.

paragraph: Section::::Career.:2016–present: "Raskit".

paragraph: In June 2016, Dizzee Rascal collaborated with Calvin Harris for the third time on the single "Hype", which reached number 34 on the UK charts.

paragraph: In June 2017, Dizzee Rascal released the single "Space" with a livestreamed teaser trailer and announced his sixth studio album, titled "Raskit", which was released on 21 July 2017.

paragraph: In 2017, Dizzee Rascal collaborated with French rapper Orelsan on the song "Zone" (also featuring Nekfeu).

paragraph: Dizzee released an EP titled "Don't Gas Me" in September 2018. The EP also marked the first time Dizzee and Skepta worked on a track together.

paragraph: Dizzee Rascal also began appearing in Ladbrokes adverts on television, with "Bonkers" playing in the background.

paragraph: Section::::Music and style.

paragraph: When starting to make music in his teenage years, Dizzee Rascal "learned to rap fast" over drum and bass tracks with 170-180 bpm, in contrast to the slower tempos of UK Garage. He also recalls being influenced by crunk (Three 6 Mafia, Lil Jon), grunge music, Black Sabbath and by Timbaland's work around that time.

paragraph: Rascal once told author Ben Thompson in an interview with "The Observer" magazine that "everything I do is for the music – I want to master it like Bruce Lee mastered martial arts".

paragraph: Rascal worked closely with his mentor Wiley, who created one of the first grime tracks, called "Eskimo". In 2005, music critic Sasha Frere-Jones observed that despite Rascal's large mainstream exposure, grime still was not having a commercial breakthrough in the US, although it was "becoming familiar". Rascal's DJ, DJ Semtex, said in 2004, "the biggest conflict I have is with major labels because they still don't get it". Andy Bennett and Jon Stratton highlight in the book "Britpop and the English Music Tradition" (2010) how Rascal alongside Sway and M.I.A. created music that explored new soundscapes with new technologies, with lyrics expressing anger at Britain's "racialized" subordination of minority groups and that the innovation that generates new musical forms like grime and dubstep that are, inevitably, politically engaged. The chart success of grime-influenced artists like Rascal is heralded as a signal in the way that white Britons are adapting to a new multicultural and plural musical mix in contrast to previous bands.

paragraph: Section::::Other interests.

paragraph: Section::::Other interests.:Dirtee Stank.

paragraph: Dizzee Rascal has created his own record label, called Dirtee Stank. Dizzee Rascal's explanation of the name is, "The name came from one of the first lyrics I had: 'going on dirty/going on stank...' So I thought 'yeah, Dirtee Stank.'" Dizzee has stated "I had Dirtee Stank before I had my record deal." The first white label release of "I Luv U" was made on Dirtee Stank, released when he was 16, although both of his albums and their subsequent singles have been released under XL Recordings. It was not until 30 September 2005, that Dizzee Rascal 'revived' the label and made his first signings, Klass A and Newham Generals. The label's MySpace page states that the ethos of the company is "about bridging the gap between indie, majors and the street. Stank is the way forwards". The label's alternative logo is a picture of flies circling faeces – when asked why this logo was chosen, Dizzee stated that it was the "streetest thing I could think of".

paragraph: The label was formed and is owned by Dizzee Rascal, and is co-run by Dizzee's manager, Cage, label manager, Laurence Ezra, tour manager Paddy Stewart and executive producer Teriy Keys. According to Cage, Dirtee Stank exists to promote gifted artists with "social problems" that might scare off other labels. "People who, through the conditions they live in, might not be stable." The label should also help artists overcome hurdles such as access to studios that "take something from a raw demo to something people will get excited about on the street".

paragraph: The single "Dance Wiv Me", featuring Calvin Harris and Chrome, was released through the label on 7 July 2008; the track became Jo Whiley's Pet Sound for the Week beginning 2 June 2008, thus gaining a large amount of radio airtime. The single charted at Number 1 on download sales alone, a week before its physical release. Dizzee's next two singles, "Bonkers" and "Holiday", were also released under the record label, and these two again charted at Number 1. Dizzee then released his 4th album on the label (Tongue N' Cheek) which along with three number ones spawned the top 10 hit Dirtee Cash.

paragraph: As of August 2011, the Newham Generals (D Double E & Footsie), Smurfie Syco and Pepper are signed to the label. In 2014, Merky ACE was added to the Dirtee Stank line up.

paragraph: Section::::Other interests.:Politics.

paragraph: Around 2004, tabloid newspapers were quoting one particular lyric by Rascal: "I'm a problem for Anthony Blair."

paragraph: During the 2008 US presidential elections, Dizzee gave a live interview to Newsnight presenter Jeremy Paxman, in which he described Barack Obama as "an immediate symbol of unity". Addressed by Paxman as "Mr Rascal" at one point, he said he felt that hip-hop played an important part in encouraging young voters and humorously suggested that he could well one day become Prime Minister. In the same interview Rascal stated that, "If you believe you can achieve, innit", thus showing his agreement with Paxman's humorous remark.

paragraph: Section::::Personal life.

paragraph: In February 2008, Rascal's ex-girlfriend, model Kaya Bousquet, whom he had dated for two years, died in a high-speed crash on the M1 motorway.

paragraph: Rascal revealed in 2010 that he plans not to use drugs or alcohol at all in the future. He told "The Independent", "I'm not having any alcohol. No weed. I'm not doing anything – except some boxing to release energy." However, when asked what his favourite drink was during an interview with "GQ", he answered "Do I drink [alcohol] now? To be honest with you, the whole living clean vibe didn't last long. My biggest mistake was probably saying it in an interview, to be fair. I tried living mad clean – but I like partying as much as anyone else."

paragraph: Rascal supports West Ham United FC.

paragraph: In November 2013, Rascal received an honorary Doctorate of the Arts from the University of East London.

paragraph: Gavriel Lipkind

paragraph: Gavriel Lipkind (; born 1977) is an Israeli classical cellist based in Germany. Lipkind made his radio debut performance aged eight, left Israel at an age of about 18, and received degrees from three music colleges. He won awards in music competitions and performed with orchestras until 2002, when he took time off from touring for three years to study music and revise his repertoire. Lipkind released two albums in 2006 and tours solo and with the Lipkind-Quartet.

paragraph: Section::::Early life and career.

paragraph: Gavriel Lipkind was born in 1977 in Tel Aviv as the second child of an academic family that had emigrated from Russia. He began to play cello at the age of six, made his radio performance debut at the age of eight, and studied at the S. Rubin Music Academy of Tel Aviv University under classical musician Uzi Wiesel.

paragraph: Robert de Vaugondy

paragraph: Gilles Robert de Vaugondy (1688–1766), also known as Le Sieur or Monsieur Robert, and his son, Didier Robert de Vaugondy (c.1723–1786), were leading cartographers in France during the 18th century.

paragraph: Section::::Life.

paragraph: In 1757, Gilles and Didier Robert De Vaugondy published "The Atlas Universel", one of the most important atlases of the 18th century. To produce the atlas, the Vaugondys integrated older sources with more modern surveyed maps. They verified and corrected the latitude and longitude of many regional maps in the atlas with astronomical observations. The older material was revised with the addition of many new place names. In 1760, Didier Robert de Vaugondy was appointed geographer to Louis XV.

paragraph: Gilles and Didier Robert De Vaugondy produced their maps and terrestrial globes working together as father and son. Globes of a variety of sizes were made by gluing copperplate-printed gores on a plaster-finished papier-mache core, a complicated and expensive manufacturing process, employing several specialists. In some cases it is uncertain whether Gilles or Didier made a given map. Gilles often signed maps as "M.Robert", while Didier commonly signed his maps as "Robert de Vaugondy", or added "fils" or "filio" after his name.

paragraph: The Robert de Vaugondys were descended from the Nicolas Sanson family through Sanson's grandson, Pierre Moulard-Sanson. From him, they inherited much of Sanson's cartographic material, which they combined with maps and plates acquired after Hubert Jaillot's death in 1712 to form the basis the "Atlas Universel". Sources from the Dépôt de la Marine, the official French repository for maritime-related information, were used for their maps of Canada and South America.

paragraph: Like Ortelius and Mercator, the Vaugondy's credited their sources, which has greatly benefited the study of the history of cartography during that period.

paragraph: Clara Whipple

paragraph: Clara Whipple "(née" Clara or Clarissa or Clarise Brimmer Whipple; 7 November 1887 Saint Louis – 6 November 1932 Manhattan, New York) was an American actress who flourished in theatre from 1913 to 1915 and in silent film from 1915 to 1919. She was also a silent film scenario writer.

paragraph: Section::::Career.

paragraph: Section::::Career.:Education.

paragraph: Sometime before 1910, Whipple had attended school in Germany, on the wooded isle of Nönnenwerth, at Trier, and at Eschweiler. Hildegard zur Bonsen (born 1889; Prussia) of Göttingen was her classmate and friend at all three locations. Whipple's biography states that she was educated at a convent in Germany and a finishing school in Switzerland. A 1915 article in the "Saint Louis Star and Times" stated that Whipple left Saint Louis "early in life to go to a school in Ohio" (Ursuline Convent) "and later went to Ladycliff, on the Hudson." The article continued: "She then went to Nonnenwerth, a convent on an island in the Rhine, near Honnef." "Later she went to Switzerland." "She completed her education in the Women's College at Trier, in Germany."

paragraph: Section::::Career.:Stage.

paragraph: Whipple, from 1913 to 1915, was a stage actress in Pittsburgh, where her father and mother had been living. Her father, Thomas Hearne Bailey Whipple, was a publicist and advertising executive with Westinghouse. Whipple debuted in Pittsburgh June 1913 with the Harry Davis Players at the Grand Opera House in a production of "The Christian", by Hall Caine.

paragraph: Whipple subsequently, that same year, joined the Pitt Players, a stock company of the Pitt Theatre Company, founded in 1913, managed by William Moore Patch. At its founding, the Pitt Players were billed as "The Most Expensive and Evenly Balanced Stock Company in America." Patch's mission was to offer new and original plays, as well as encourage native, and above all, Pittsburgh playwrights.

paragraph: Section::::Career.:Film.

paragraph: Whipple, from 1915 to 1919, was a silent film actress. She co-starred in the film "The Prima Donna's Husband" (1916), a crime drama directed by William A. Brady, Julius Steger , and Joseph A. Golden . The screenplay was written by Edna Riley, who adapted it from a play by Wildbrandt. The film, five reels, was released by Triumph Films. The film also featured Kathryn Brown Decker "(née" Browne; 1883–1919) and Holbrook Blinn.

paragraph: Whipple was the leading lady in "The Reapers" (1916), starring opposite John B. Mason. The drama exemplified the biblical truth that, "As ye sow, so shall ye reap," from the Old Testament. The movie instructs about a high moral truth without preaching. Whipple was cast with Willard Mack and Gerda Holmes "(née" Gerda Helen Elfrida Henius; 1891–1943) in "His One Big Chance" (1916), a film directed by John Ince.

paragraph: "The Heart of a Hero" (1916) was adapted from the Clyde Fitch play entitled "Nathan Hale". Robert Warwick played the role of Hale, and Gail Kane performed the part of Alice Adams, his girlfriend. The theme of the American Revolution was made more true-to-life with the inclusion of Charles Jackson as Thomas Jefferson. Whipple played the Widow Chichester.

paragraph: Whipple, Decker, and Blinn teamed again to make a powerful , "Would You Forgive" (1919). In "Pettigrew's Girl" (1919), her last film, she portrays Piggy, a chorus girl friend of heroine Daisy Heath. The leading lady was Ethel Clayton.

paragraph: Section::::Family.

paragraph: Section::::Family.:Parents.

paragraph: Clara Brimmer Whipple was born November 7, 1887, in Saint Louis, Missouri, to the marriage of Thomas Hearne Bailey Whipple (1858–1942) and Frances (Fanny) Bell Mitchell (maiden; 1868–1941), who married January 25, 1887, in Columbia, Tennessee. With her parents, Clara Whipple, in 1900, lived in Cleveland, and in 1910, in Pittsburgh. In Pittsburgh T.H.B. Whipple had, for about 30 years, been a publicist with Westinghouse. In 1926, he became an instructor of business communication at Duquesne University. Clara's parents, T.H.B. and Frances, separated in 1907. T.H.B. filed for divorce in June 1914 in Pittsburgh. Clara's first and middle names are drawn from those of her great grandmother Clarissa Whipple "(née" Brimmer; 1783–1835) and her aunt, Clarissa Brimmer Whipple (1850–1914), who was twice married, first on February 6, 1881, in Manhattan, New York, to Frederick H. Prentiss (born 1856) (divorced between 1897 and 1900), then on March 2, 1900, in Pittsburgh to Burcham Harding (1852–1930).

paragraph: Clara Whipple's father, T.H.B. Whipple, remarried May 4, 1923, to Laura Evangeline Williamson (maiden; 1884–1978). From that marriage, Clara gained a half-sister, Frances Jane Whipple (born 1925), who in 1943, married Joseph John Kerchner (1920–2000).

paragraph: Section::::Family.:Marriages.

paragraph: On April 10, 1919, Whipple married motion picture director James Young, Jr., at the Mission Inn, Riverside, California. For Young, it was his third of four marriages. Whipple, at the time, was a well-regarded silent film scenario writer. James Young, from 1910 to 1917, had been married to the movie actress Clara Kimball Young – his second marriage. Clara Whipple retired from the screen after marrying James Young. She returned to movies as Clara Young in 1920, despite objections by Clara Kimball Young concerning the use of the Young name.

paragraph: Whipple separated from Young in June 1920 and divorced him in October 1921. The couple had a home at 2000 Holly Drive, Los Angeles, California. Young settled money and real estate amounting to $40,000 on Whipple.

paragraph: In September 1922 Young sought to reverse the annulment with a cross-complaint filed by his attorneys. Depositions mentioned misconduct by Whipple with other men. Jack Pickford, Thomas J. Moore, Texas Guinan, and Doris Pawn were named in Young's preliminary moves. On October 12, 1922, a day before Whipple became entitled to her divorce decree, Young filed a $50,000 slander suit against her. The legal action came in response to Whipple's accusations that Young threatened her, pointed guns at her, and offered her $2,000 to return his Ku Klux Klan membership paper and bundles of correspondence he had received from women. A month later, in early December 1922, James Young became seriously ill of auto-intoxication in December 1922.

paragraph: Clara Whipple married again, to Charles J. Dewey (born 1883). They were married in Omaha in September 1928.

paragraph: Section::::Family.:Death.

paragraph: Clara Whipple Dewey died November 6, 1932, in Manhattan, New York, a little more than two months after her brother, "Jamie" Whipple "(né" James Cameron Mitchell Whipple; 1892–1980), became Production Manager for NBC in Chicago. The cause of death was "Carcinoma of the Liver." Her residence at the time of her death was 180 Claremont Avenue, where her brother James lived, in the Morningside Heights neiborhood of Manhattan – less than 2 blocks north of the where Juilliard had been located from 1910 to 1969.

paragraph: Section::::Family.:Extended family.

paragraph: Armide Whipple "(née" Armide Nana Edith Whipple; 1920–2001) – Clara Whipple's niece, daughter of Jamie Whipple and Armide Whipple "(née" Armide Ana Cecile Marie Ayraud; 1901–1976) – was a jazz and big band vocalist with the orchestras of Jimmie Grier "(né" James Wilford Grier; 1902–1959), Chico Marx, Les Brown, and Ben Pollack. She sang under the stagename "Kim Kimberly." She was briefly married, from about 1939 to about 1943, to big band trumpeter Bobby Clark "(né" Robert Charles Clark, Jr.; 1916–1981).

paragraph: Section::::Other litigation.

paragraph: Adelbert George Volck, who worked in the film industry, rented Whipple's Holly Drive home. She brought a suit against Volck in September 1923, charging him with damaging household furnishings, in particular her tapestries and draperies. The court had to decide whether the tapestries and draperies were imported, and therefore valuable, as Whipple contended.

paragraph: Whipple filed suit for the collection of a promissory note from motion picture producer Dale Hanshaw in October 1925. She asked for $566.50, the same amount she claimed to have advanced Hanshaw, in various sums, around June 18, 1923. At the time of the court action, Hanshaw had made only a single payment of $50. He had given Whipple a radio as security, which she sold, and applied the proceeds to the payment of the note. $56 of the amount Whipple requested was for interest.

paragraph: Faxian

paragraph: Faxian (; 337 – c. 422) was a Chinese Buddhist monk and translator who traveled by foot from Ancient China to Ancient India, visiting many sacred Buddhist sites in Central Asia, the Indian subcontinent and Southeast Asia between 399-412 to acquire Buddhist texts. His journey is described in his important travelogue, "A Record of Buddhist Kingdoms, Being an Account by the Chinese Monk Fa-Xian of his Travels in India and Ceylon in Search of the Buddhist Books of Discipline". Other transliterations of his name include Fa-Hien, and Fa-hsien.

paragraph: Section::::Biography.

paragraph: In 399 Faxian set out with nine others to locate sacred Buddhist texts. He visited India in the early fifth century. He is said to have walked all the way from China across the icy desert and rugged mountain passes. He entered India from the northwest and reached Pataliputra. He took back with him Buddhist texts and images sacred to Buddhism. He saw the ruins of the city when he reached Pataliputra.

paragraph: Faxian's visit to India occurred during the reign of Chandragupta II. He is also renowned for his pilgrimage to Lumbini, the birthplace of Gautama Buddha (modern Nepal). However, he mentioned nothing about Guptas. Faxian claimed that demons and dragons were the original inhabitants of Sri Lanka.

paragraph: On Faxian's way back to China, after a two-year stay in Ceylon, a violent storm drove his ship onto an island, probably Java. After five months there, Faxian took another ship for southern China; but, again, it was blown off course and he ended up landing at Mount Lao in what is now Shandong in northern China, east of the city of Qingdao. He spent the rest of his life translating and editing the scriptures he had collected.

paragraph: Faxian wrote a book on his travels, filled with accounts of early Buddhism, and the geography and history of numerous countries along the Silk Road as they were, at the turn of the 5th century CE. He wrote about cities like Patliputra, Mathura, and Kannauj in Middle India. He also wrote that inhabitants of Middle India also eat and dress like Chinese people. He declared Patliputra as a very prosperous city.

paragraph: He returned in 412 and settled in what is now Nanjing. In 414 he wrote (or dictated) "Foguoji" ("A Record of Buddhistic Kingdoms"; also known as "Faxian's Account"). He spent the next decade, until his death, translating the Buddhist sutra he had brought with him from India.

paragraph: James Herriot

paragraph: James Alfred Wight, OBE, FRCVS (3 October 1916 – 23 February 1995), known by the pen name James Herriot, was a British veterinary surgeon and writer who used his many years of experiences as a veterinary surgeon to write a series of books consisting of stories about animals and their owners. He is best known for these semi-autobiographical works, beginning with "If Only They Could Talk" in 1970, which spawned a series of movies and television series.

paragraph: Section::::Biography.

paragraph: James Alfred Wight was born on 3 October 1916 in Sunderland, County Durham, England to James (1890–1960) and Hannah Bell (1890–1980) Wight. Shortly after their wedding, the Wights moved from Brandling Street, Sunderland to Glasgow in Scotland, where James took work as a ship plater and as a pianist for a local cinema, while Hannah was a singer and a dressmaker. Hannah returned to Sunderland to give birth to James, bringing him back to Glasgow when he was three weeks old. He attended Yoker Primary School and Hillhead High School.

paragraph: Wight qualified as a veterinary surgeon at Glasgow Veterinary College in 1939 at age 23. He took a job at a veterinary practice in Sunderland in January 1940, but he moved to work in a rural practice the following July. There he was based at 23 Kirkgate in Thirsk, Yorkshire, close to the Yorkshire Dales and North York Moors—better known as Skeldale House—where he remained for the rest of his life.

paragraph: Wight married Joan Catherine Anderson Danbury on 5 November 1941 at St Mary's Church, Thirsk; she is named Helen Alderson in his books. They had two children: James Alexander (born 13 February 1943), who also became a vet and was a partner in the practice, and Rosemary (born 1947), who became a doctor.

paragraph: Wight served in the Royal Air Force in 1942. His wife moved to her parents' house during this time, and he joined her upon being discharged from the RAF as a Leading Aircraftman. They lived there until 1946, when they moved back to Kirkgate, staying there until 1953. They then moved to a house on Topcliffe Road, Thirsk, opposite the secondary school. The original practice is now "The World of James Herriot" museum. The Topcliffe Road house is privately owned and not open to the public. The family later moved to the village of Thirlby, about four miles from Thirsk, where he resided until his death.

paragraph: Wight wanted to write a book, but most of his time was consumed by veterinary practice and family, and his writing ambition went nowhere. His wife challenged him in 1966 when he was 50, so he began writing. He began by writing about topics such as football, but his stories were rejected, so he turned to what he knew best. In 1969, he wrote "If Only They Could Talk", the first of the series based on his life as a vet and his training in the Royal Air Force during the Second World War. His first submission brought a phone call from Anthea Joseph who was deputy chairman of a publishing house. Professional etiquette at that time frowned on veterinary surgeons and other professionals advertising their services, so Wight took "James Herriot" as a pen name after seeing Scottish goalkeeper Jim Herriot play for Birmingham City in a televised game against Manchester United. "If Only They Could Talk" was published in the United Kingdom in 1970 by Michael Joseph Ltd, but sales were slow until Thomas McCormack of St. Martin's Press in New York City received a copy and arranged to have the first two books published as a single volume in the United States. The resulting book was "All Creatures Great and Small" and was a huge success, spawning numerous sequels and movies and a television adaptation.

paragraph: Wight received an honorary doctorate from Heriot-Watt University in 1979.

paragraph: Wight was diagnosed with prostate cancer in 1991 and was treated in the Lambert Memorial Hospital in Thirsk. He died on 23 February 1995 at home in Thirlby at age 78. His wife died four years later, on 14 July 1999.

paragraph: Thirsk has become a magnet for fans of James Herriot. Grand Central train company operates train services from Wight's birthplace of Sunderland to London King's Cross, stopping at Thirsk. They named Class 180 DMU No. 180112 "James Herriot" in his honour on 29 July 2009. The ceremony was carried out jointly by Alf Wight's daughter Rosie and son Jim.

paragraph: Actor Christopher Timothy unveiled a statue of Wight in October 2014 at Thirsk Racecourse. Timothy played Herriot in the television series.

paragraph: Section::::Author.

paragraph: Wight sets his stories in the fictional town of Darrowby, which is a composite of Thirsk, Richmond, Leyburn, and Middleham. He also renamed Donald Sinclair and his brother Brian as Siegfried and Tristan Farnon respectively, and used the name "Helen Alderson" for Joan Danbury. He took the title "All Creatures Great and Small" from the second line of the hymn "All Things Bright and Beautiful", inspired by a punning suggestion from his daughter who thought that the book should be called "Ill Creatures Great and Small".

paragraph: Wight's books are only partially autobiographical, with many of the stories only loosely based on real events or people. His son Jim states that a lot of the stories are set in the 1930s, 1940s, or 1950s in the books, but they were inspired by cases that Wight attended in the 1960s and 1970s. The stories also help document a transitional period in the veterinary profession; agriculture was moving from the traditional use of beasts of burden (primarily the draught horse in Britain) to reliance upon the mechanical tractors, and medical science was on the verge of discovering antibiotics and other drugs that eliminated many of the ancient remedies still in use. These and other sociological factors (such as increased affluence) prompted a large-scale shift in veterinary practice over the course of the 20th century. Virtually all of a vet's time was spent working with large animals at the beginning of the century, such as horses, cattle, sheep, goats, and pigs. By the year 2000, the majority of vets practised mostly on dogs, cats, and other pets belonging to a population having a larger disposable income. Wight (as Herriot) occasionally steps out of his narrative to comment on the primitive state of veterinary medicine at the time of the story he is relating.

paragraph: The books have been adapted for film and television, including the 1975 film "All Creatures Great and Small" followed by 1976 "It Shouldn't Happen to a Vet", and the long-running BBC television series "All Creatures Great and Small". His last book "Every Living Thing" immediately went into the top 10 best-seller list in Britain and had an 865,000 copy first edition printing in the United States.

paragraph: Herriot's fame has generated a thriving tourist economy in Thirsk. Local businesses include the "World of James Herriot" museum at 23 Kirkgate, the original practice surgery, and a pub at one time called the "Darrowby Inn" (which was later renamed). Many of the original contents of his surgery can be found at the Yorkshire Museum of Farming in Murton, York. Parts of the BBC TV series set are on display at the Herriot museum, including the living room and the dispensary. The real-life veterinary practice still exists, but has moved to other premises.

paragraph: In 2010, the BBC commissioned the three-part drama "Young James Herriot" inspired by the life of Wight and how he learned his trade in Scotland. This series drew on archives and exclusive access to the diaries and case notes he which kept during his student days in Glasgow, as well as the biography written by his son. The book to accompany the BBC series, "Young Herriot", was written by the historian and author John Lewis-Stempel. The first episode was shown on BBC1 on 18 December 2011. In September 2010, the Gala Theatre in Durham presented the world premier professional stage adaptation of "All Creatures Great & Small."

paragraph: Self-crucifixion of Mattio Lovat

paragraph: Mattio Lovat was an Italian who made two self-crucifixion attempts, in 1803 and 1805 in Venice, Italy, respectively. In July 1805, Mattio, on his second self-crucifixion attempt at public streets, was successful, an act that landed him on hospital. He died the following year at the San Servolo Island asylum.

paragraph: Section::::Background.

paragraph: Mattio Lovat was born in Casale, at the territory of Belluno, in 1761, in Italy. A son of poor parents, he was a shoemaker. On November 13, 1802 he went to Venice, where a younger brother named Angelo conducted Mattio to the house of a widow, the relict of Andrew Osgualda, with whom he lodged, until September 21, 1803. On the mentioned day, he made an attempt to crucify himself, in the middle of the street called Cross of Biri.

paragraph: Section::::Self-crucifixion attempt of 1803.

paragraph: In the middle of the street called Cross of Biri, Mattio made an attempt of self-crucifixion. Upon a frame that he had constructed of the timber of his bed, he was prevented from succeding his attempt by several people who came upon him as he was driving a nail into his left foot. Being interrogated as to the motive for his self-crucifixion, he was silent, except that he once said to his brother, that that day was the festival of St. Matthew and that he could give no further explanation. Days after the affair, he set out for his own country, where he remained a certain time, but afterwards returned to Venice, and in July 1805, lodged in a room in the third floor of a house, in the street Delle Monache.

paragraph: Section::::Self-crucifixion attempt of 1805.

paragraph: On July 19, 1805 Mattio attempted to crucify himself in a public street. He constructed a wooden cross, inflicted a wound on his side, and put a crown of thorns on his head. In order to reenact the crucifixtion of Jesus Christ, he then fixed himself to the cross with nails. Using a net that tied his body to the wooden beam, he finally hung himself and the cross out of the window of his room. With his left arm nailed to the cross, and his right hanging down, Lovat was found alive in the early morning by some passer-by who took him down from the cross and put him to bed.

paragraph: Section::::Aftermath.

paragraph: Venetian physician Cesare Ruggieri, came to the spot out of curiosity and made sure that Lovat was immediately admitted to the Clinical School of Venice at which he himself was Professor of Surgery. For several weeks Ruggieri treated and observed Lovat at his bedside until he had physically recovered. Due to Ruggieri's diagnosis of a persistent mental disorder, Lovat was then transferred to the asylum of San Servolo, an early mental asylum situated on an island of the same name in the Venetian lagoon, where Lovat died in April 1806 from some unspecified chest disease.

paragraph: The case was closed. Soon, however, Ruggieri wrote down the medical case history of his patient. In his case narrative, titled in Italian "Storia della crocifissione di Mattio Lovat da se stesso eseguita" Ruggieri suggested that Lovat suffered from an kind of mental disorder that was connected to religion. Ruggieri subsequently published, between 1806 and 1814, the illustrated case report in two Italian versions and one in French. Subsequently the narrative of Lovat's self-crucifixion was read, commented on, rewritten and reproduced by editors and authors in Italy, France, Germany and Britain throughout the nineteenth century. A book about Lovat's self-crucifixion, "The Man Who Crucified Himself: Readings of a Medical Case in Nineteenth-Century Europe" was published in November 2018.

paragraph: The book published in 1814 by the physician Cesar Ruggieri, tells the story of his crucified patient.

paragraph: A case report about Lovat's self-crucifixion is available.

paragraph: Yuri Nemyrych

paragraph: Jerzy Niemirycz or Yuriy Nemyrych ( 1612–1659) was a Polish-Lithuanian magnate and politician of Ruthenian stock (gente Ruthenus natione Polonus) and Cossack Hetmanate official and diplomat.

paragraph: Section::::Biography.

paragraph: Jerzy Niemirycz was born in Ovruch, Kiev Voivodeship (Polissia region) in 1612 during the Polish-Lithuanian intervention in Muscovy, the oldest son of wealthy Polish-Lithuanian Anti-Trinitarians noble family, Klamry coat of arms. His father was a podkomorzy of Kiev Stefan Niemirycz (died 1630) and his mother was Maria Wojnarowska, (died 1632). He studied at the Racovian Academy in Raków, Kielce County, then in Leiden, and travelled across Western and Southern Europe, and then back at Leiden. He has shown great interest in politics, evidenced by his work "Discursus de bello Moscovitico," written in 1633 and dedicated to his uncle and fellow Polish Brethren Roman Hojski. Upon his return home, Polish–Lithuanian Commonwealth, in 1634, he was already a well-educated lower level magnate and aspiring Polish-Ruthenian politician ("gente Ruthenus natione Polonus"), and a model noble citizen. He took part in the wars against Russia (Smolensk War) and Sweden (Treaty of Stuhmsdorf). At the end of hostilities he married Calvinist Elżbieta Słupecka, who connected him with them most prominent noble Protestant families of Polish-Lithuanian Commonwealth. In 1636 Kiev voivodeship nobility elected him a judge to the Crown Tribunal (Trybunał Koronny) in Lublin. He performance as a judge found him more favour with his electorate, for in 1637 he was elected to the parliament (Sejm) where he presided for many years. He also became a podkomorzy (chamberlain) of Kiev and exerted significant influence in the Polish–Lithuanian Commonwealth politics. He worked to enhance his family fortune, centred in Horoszki, and through acquisitions and other means his estates grew to include 14 cities and 50 villages with 7600 serfs, so by 1648 he had the second largest territory in the Ukraine, after the Wiśniowiecki family.

paragraph: A Polish Brethren, Niemirycz defended his fellow Arians in court and in parliament in the 1640s, and supported a fellow Protestant George II Rákóczi as candidate for the Polish-Lithuanian throne in 1648, when king Władysław IV Vasa died in the mist of war. Because of the Cossack Uprising of 1648 he had to evacuate his family to Warsaw, and took limited part in fighting against the rebellious Cossacks and serfs, advocating moderation (along the lines of Kiev voivode Adam Kisiel). He returned to his estates in 1649 but the massacre of Polish army by the Cossacks and Crimean Tatars at Batoh (Battle of Batih) in 1652 forced him to evacuate again, this time to his estates in Volhynia. During the Deluge, like many Polish–Lithuanian nobles and magnates (both Catholic and Protestant), he embraced the Swedish invaders in 1655, clearly in hopes of improving the Protestant position in the Commonwealth and reconquering his estates in the Ukrainian palatines. His pleadings for improvement of Polish Brethren cause with the Swedish king Charles X Gustav of Sweden failed and he eventually switched side to the Cossacks side. He took place in the preparation of the Treaty of Radnot (partition of the Polish–Lithuanian Commonwealth amongst five signatories: Charles X Gustav, György Rákóczi II of Transylvania, Frederick William, Elector of Brandenburg, Bohdan Khmelnytsky, and Bogusław Radziwiłł), signed in 1656. In 1657 he moved to Cossack Ukraine and Cossack hetman Khmelnytsky had his estates restored to him. He supported Ivan Vyhovsky, as Khmelnytsky's successor, and signed in Korsun, jointly with Ivan Bohun and Ivan Kovalivsky, an agreement between Sweden and Cossack Hetmanate in 1657.

paragraph: During that time, when he envisioned a semi-independent duchy of Ukraine as a new element of Polish–Lithuanian Commonwealth and where there was no place for a Polish Brethren statesman, Nemirycz decided to convert to Orthodoxy and he encouraged his fellow Polish Brethren to do the same in an infamous "(Skrypt), Exhortation to all Dissidents from the Romish Religion to Take Refuge in the Bosom of the Greek Church." He was a co-author of the Treaty of Hadiach, signed in 1658, which established the Grand Duchy of Ruthenia, transforming the Polish–Lithuanian Commonwealth into the Polish–Lithuanian–Ruthenian Commonwealth. He drafted the treaty, and, as the Chancellor of the Grand Duchy of Ruthenia, headed the Ukrainian delegation to the Polish–Lithuanian parliamentary session for ratification, where it was ratified. In 1659 the Muscovite Tsardom refused to accept the new Commonwealth and invaded Ukraine, but Russian army was defeated at the battle of Konotop, but through conspiracies, betrayals, and money Russian achieved the cancellation of Vyhovsky’s hetman position by the Cossacks of "black council", and caused a rebellion of the serfs and pro-Russian Cossacks and these rebels killed Yuri Nemyrych in a minor engagement, allegedly he was stabbed 70 times in the chest. Thus ingloriously died a statesman, whom Moscow named "the greatest heretic and outlaw".

paragraph: Section::::Family.

paragraph: He and his sole wife Elżbieta Słupecka, Rawa coat of arms, (died 1660) had three children: Tomasz (died young), Barbara (she had two husbands), and finally Teodor Nemyrych(1648–1700), who finally restored family estates but never achieved any prominence and whose family converted to Roman Catholicism.

paragraph: Svend Poulsen

paragraph: Svend Poulsen ( – ), also referred to as Svend Poulsen Gønge () was a Danish military commander in the 17th century, serving in the armies of Christian IV, Frederick III, and Christian V. He fought in the Torstenson War, Second Northern War, and the Scanian War, and led the "snaphane" militia in guerilla warfare against Sweden in occupied Zealand from 1658 to 1659. He was popularized under the name Gøngehøvdingen () in 1853, when his exploits were fictionalized under that name by Danish author Carit Etlar. The historicity of his aliases has since been disputed.

paragraph: Section::::Historical account.

paragraph: Little is known for certain about the youth of Svend Poulsen. He was probably born around 1610 in north-western Scania or southern Halland. He was a soldier in the army of Christian IV during the 1625-1629 Danish intervention in the Thirty Years' War, and also served in the Dutch Army. He was made an officer in the Danish army in the Torstenson War from 1643 to 1645. He was a citizen of Laholm in Halland, even after it came under Swedish reign in 1645. During the 1657–1658 Dano-Swedish War of the greater Second Northern War theatre, Poulsen commanded a company of dragoons in April 1657, in the defence of Ängelholm in Scania against Sweden. He took part in a number of skirmishes, and was promoted captain in December 1657. After the cession of Scania and Halland at the Treaty of Roskilde of 1658, Svend Poulsen and his dragoons moved to Zealand, where they were ordered to disband.

paragraph: Poulsen led his dragoons once more at the outbreak of the 1658–1660 Dano-Swedish War, and integrated his company into the defence of Copenhagen. Poulsen himself was sent into occupied Zealand in order to organize a guerilla warfare resistance. On August 22, 1658, a decree ordered the peasants of Zealand to assist Poulsen in harassing the Swedish occupying forces. He assembled a company of "snaphane" militia within the month of August, though he lacked substantial support from the local populace. He led several successful charges against smaller Swedish contingents, but was finally forced to retreat. He returned to Copenhagen, and later rejoined the regular army. He was probably a part of the city defence during the Assault on Copenhagen in February 1659.

paragraph: He left the army at the conclusion of the war in 1660, and was given the desolate Lundbygård manor at Præstø. The manor caused Poulsen financial hardships, and in 1666 he appealed for Frederick III to help him, and was in turn granted an additional manor. His financial situation did not improve. Poulsen had to abandon Lundbygård due to tax debts in 1673. He was granted a lifelong state pension that year, and settled in a smaller residence. He rejoined the army of Christian V for the Scanian War from 1675 to 1679, and first served on Stevns, before he was promoted to the rank of major and commanded a dragoon company in Scania. Some doubt has been cast on his status as major and exact role in the Scanian War. He died around 1680, an old man weakened by illness.

paragraph: Section::::Name.

paragraph: He was born Svend Poulsen around 1610. A 1673 protocol has the earliest reference to him as "Svend Poulsen Gynge", Gynge being the contemporary Danish name for the two Göinge () hundreds in Scania. Danish historians in the 19th century, used the Gynge name to establish Svend Poulsen as hailing from Gønge and leading Gønge soldiers, both in Scania in 1657 and on Zealand in 1658. This made him known by the extended name of "Svend Poulsen Gønge", as well as the fictional construction "Gøngehøvdingen" (). In 1853, Danish author Carit Etlar published the novel "Gjøngehøvdingen", a fictional account of Svend Poulsen's exploits as a "snaphane" during the 1658–1660 Dano-Swedish War. The book was hugely popular, and "Gøngehøvdingen" stuck as the prevailing alias for Svend Poulsen in Denmark.

paragraph: It has since been argued, that Svend Poulsen wasn't necessarily linked to Gønge at all. In the 109 primary sources pertaining to Svend Poulsen, only three mention the Gynge/Göinge name; none of these three are written by Svend Poulsen himself. Likewise, the men in his 1657 dragoon company were from Halland and not Gønge. The 1658 "snaphane" company on Zealand were made up of locals and did not contain any Gønge people, who served the army elsewhere. The authors of the 19th century historical accounts of Svend Poulsen were also unclear on the historicity of their claims, rehashing each other's myths and fictions, while transforming Svend Poulsen into a Gønge leader. His only documented link to Gønge prior to 1673, seems to be fighting in Scania during the 1657–1658 Dano-Swedish War, in close proximity to Gønge.

paragraph: Section::::In fiction.

paragraph: Etlar's "Gjøngehøvdingen" popularized Svend Poulsen as a righteous and brave leader figure, and he has since been portrayed in a number of fictional works:
