paragraph: Dywane Thomas Jr.

paragraph: Dywane Thomas Jr. (born August 6, 1990), also known as MonoNeon, is an American bassist and experimental musician. He is known for his presence on YouTube playing bass guitar and known for being one of the last people to work with Prince. Thomas also played with Grammy Award-winning R&B artist, Ne-Yo, on his fourth studio album. He is a native of Memphis, Tennessee.

paragraph: Section::::Early life.

paragraph: Thomas was raised in a musical family, the son of a bass guitarist. He began playing bass at the age of four years, independent of formal lessons (self-taught). When he was about 11 or 12 years old, he performed with Bar-Kays, playing solo bass guitar. At age 14, he played bass with the South Soul Rhythm Section, the band performed at the Porretta Soul Festival 2006. South Soul was a group of young musicians from Stax Music Academy.

paragraph: Section::::Early life.:Education.

paragraph: During his brief stay at Berklee College of Music he shared the stage with David Fiuczynski. After his departure from Berklee in 2010, Thomas went to Los Angeles to perform with Fiuczynski and Alex Bailey (drummer) at the Musicians Institute and The Baked Potato.

paragraph: Section::::Professional background.

paragraph: Section::::Professional background.:Playing style.

paragraph: While Thomas is right-handed, he plays left-handed upside down on a right-handed bass guitar, which allows him to use heavy string bending on the upper strings. Thomas' slapping style/technique is unique because he is executing everything upside-down, but he still uses the thumb for slaps and fingers for pops. He also uses fingers and palm muting to create a warm, muffled timbre and have a little more control over the length of notes. In a free/improvisational setting, listeners may hear the use of Indian melodic inflections/embellishments in his playing, including the use of gamakas. Another attribute in Thomas' playing style is the use of randomness and personal mistakes in performance, eventually moving the mistakes from meaningless to meaningful.

paragraph: Thomas' overall playing style on bass can be described as "funky with unusual characteristics". Even musicians like Marcus Miller have noticed his playing style. His musical background is heavily influenced by southern soul, blues and funk. In a "Bass Player" magazine interview, Miller mentioned Thomas as one of several "young bad cats" he has met on the scene.

paragraph: In 2009, Thomas was featured on the GospelChops Bass Sessionz Vol.1 project with Andrew Gouche, Hadrien Feraud, Damian Erskine, Janek Gwizdala, Anthony Nembhard, and Robert "Bubby" Lewis.

paragraph: In 2010, Thomas played bass on the "Libra Scale" album by Grammy Award-winning artist Ne-Yo, and the album "Directions" by Forest Won with Georgia Anne Muldrow. Thomas was featured in the article, "Bass to the Future", in issue 52 of the UK "Bass Guitar" magazine.

paragraph: In 2012, Thomas joined David Fiuczynski and Planet Microjam. Also in 2012, he released his solo avant-garde album, "Down-to-Earth Art" as MonoNeon.

paragraph: MonoNeon's YouTube bass cover videos of Sonic The Hedgehog "Green Hill Zone Theme" and the theme song to the Martin Lawrence Show were featured on NoTreble.

paragraph: In early 2013, Thomas released an album called Southern Visionary under the pseudonym MonoNeon. This album features several microtonal musicians. He also released an album entitled "Uncle Curtis Answered The Lobster Telephone".

paragraph: MonoNeon performed with Sheri Jones-Moffett (2010 Grammy nominee) at the Recording Academy Chapter 40th Anniversary Celebration at Levitt Shell.

paragraph: MonoNeon teamed up with producer Kriswontwo to release an EP called, "WEON".

paragraph: July 2014, MonoNeon made his debut performance as the bassist for Screaming Headless Torsos at Jalisco Jazz Festival in Mexico.

paragraph: Section::::Professional background.:Experimental works.

paragraph: Thomas' experimental works are very childlike, in terms of the energy that is presented in his compositions. In listening to some of his experimental pieces, one may hear the John Cage influence.

paragraph: The idea of conceptual art plays a role in his musical compositions, as reflected in his early 2011 recordings. Thomas began creating a vague idea of bass and AM/FM radio improvisations. The improvisations/compositions are based on radio art. Some of the bass and radio improvisations/compositions can be heard on his album entitled, "Introspection of PolyNeon". The "Polyneon" concept is something Thomas created through introspection and when he stopped thinking about the worldly idea of becoming or being a great musician.

paragraph: Thomas is notable for his "readymade bass", inspired by his love for Dadaism and other avant garde art movements. The primary characteristics of the "readymade bass" is the ordinary sock covering the entire headstock and the name "Polyneon" on the body of his bass. The use of colorful duct tape and other mundane items upon his basses.

paragraph: MonoNeon was featured in the January/February 2013 issue of Dig! Magazine, a Winnipeg jazz magazine.

paragraph: MonoNeon's microtonal works and art manifesto were mentioned on "The Rest Is Noise", a website by Alex Ross, the music critic of The New Yorker.

paragraph: One of MonoNeon's bass cover videos performing KNOWER's arrangement/medley of Lady Gaga songs was voted Top 10 most watched video on NoTreble (March 2014).

paragraph: A microtonal bass built for MonoNeon by Tim Cloonan of CallowHill Guitars was featured on NoTreble as "Bass of the Week". The bass is built to play quarter tones.

paragraph: Section::::Working with Prince.

paragraph: In 2015 MonoNeon began playing bass with Prince and his protégé, Judith Hill. Some of the live shows have been at Paisley Park.

paragraph: On 11 January 2016, Tidal released the track "Ruff Enuff" by MonoNeon, only four and a half days after its initial recording. The instrumental track features Prince as producer and on keyboards. The following day, the track was replaced with a vocal version with lead vocals on vocoder by Adrian Crutchfield.

paragraph: The linernotes provided with the track state:

paragraph: Lisa Soto

paragraph: Lisa C Soto is a visual artist based in Los Angeles, California. The themes of her work are informed by both "her Caribbean heritage and her continuous movements between continents and islands." Soto's drawings, installations and sculptures embody the struggle between connections and disconnections. Supporting the belief that all things, seen and unseen are essentially linked. There is a conversation that includes a personal and a universal situation, an interplay between the micro and the macro. Questioning the endless conflicts, the creation of artificial differences, and the establishment of borders. While exploring the essence of the forces at work in the macrocosm. Shaping what those energies, frequencies, and vibrations might look like.

paragraph: Section::::Early life and education.

paragraph: Soto was born in Los Angeles, California and grew up in New York City and a small, traditional village in the South of Spain, across the waters from Morocco. She received her art education at the Amsterdams Instituut voor Schilderkunst, in the Netherlands. Her Caribbean heritage (Puerto Rican) and continuous movement to different continents and countries have impacted her art by giving her a wide range of perspectives and experiences.

paragraph: Section::::Work and Reception.

paragraph: Soto's work draws largely on industrial materials such as wire, bullet shells, Mylar, hardware, wire mesh, and mirrors. For example, Soto's "NGC1003 & NGC1913" consists of a pair of suspended planes made from croched squares of wire while her "The Gravity of Our Locus" is produced from subwoofers, copper wire, bullet shells and caps, and copper bowls. She transforms these materials into works suggestive of cartographic lines, neurons, swarms, nests, and webs. Of her work "Relational Realities," Jeannette Ehlers writes that these networks are so complex "so complex that it is almost impossible to trace the different lines across the grid." Soto states that her works relate "to systems of communications and universal principles in order to question society's conflicts and violence, while highlighting its harmonious network."

paragraph: Reviewing the exhibition, "Soul Recordings," Luis de Jesus compares Soto's works to her fellow artists. De Jesus claims that Soto presents "subtle, nuanced objects and images, while remaining just as strongly tethered to a set of meanings and contexts no less fraught with hard truths."

paragraph: Genie Davis has written that Soto's sculpture, "The Gravity of our Locus," which was presented at Los Angeles Contemporary Exhibitions. "is a stunning fountain of violence that is as lovely as a waterfall and as devastating as the deaths and injury the bullet shells and caps represent. The copper is burnished, shimmers almost like water; the bowls are shaped like artful lily pads, the symmetry is perfect. But above all else, this large-scale sculptural sound installation echoes with loss."

paragraph: In his review of "Hard Edged," and exhibition at the California African American Museum, Christopher Knight offers a description of Soto's work "NGC1003 & NGC1913." The work consists of a pair of suspended planes made from croched squares of wire, which are attached to a small motor hidden near the ceiling. Knight writes that "The motor makes the layered, floating quilts slightly jostle and shimmy, their animation evoking a living spirit — the spirit of historical family legacies that quilts so often embody."

paragraph: Section::::Exhibitions.

paragraph: Soto has participated in solo and group exhibitions in the Dominican Republic, Spain, Miami, New York, New Orleans, Berlin and Los Angeles. She has participated "in residencies, public art shows and received commissions in the U.S., Europe and the Caribbean"

paragraph: John Fekner

paragraph: John Fekner (born 1950 in New York City) is an American artist known for his spray painted environmental and conceptual outdoor works.

paragraph: Fekner's has created paintings, cast paper reliefs, video, music recordings and performance works, sculpture, photography and computer-generated work. Fekner has addressed issues involving concepts of perception and transformation, as well as specific environmental and sociological concerns such as urban decay, greed, chemical pollutants, mass media and Native American Indians.

paragraph: Section::::Early life.

paragraph: Fekner began writing poetry as a young teenager, and his first outdoor graffiti in 1968 were the words "Itchycoo Park" painted at Gorman Park 85th Street Park in Jackson Heights, Queens. Along with his accomplices on the park house roof, he painted the phrase in large white letters across the front of the building. Fekner appropriated the name of the popular hit written and recorded by the Small Faces about a park in Newham, England. Subsequently, the Jackson Heights local football team took the name, "Itchycoo Chiefs" in the 1970s. Ten years later, Fekner used the park as a base for his stencils projects. In May 1978, he curated the "Detective Show" with help from the Institute for Art and Urban Resources (P.S. 1). A group of thirty artists including Gordon Matta-Clark, Don Leicht, Len Bellinger, Lucio Pozzi, Lou Forgione, Richard Artschwager, Frances Hynes, Karen Shaw and Claudia De Monte hid art and created subtle art work in situ throughout the park.

paragraph: Section::::Stencil works.

paragraph: In 1976, Fekner began to spray paint temporary messages onto buildings in New York City using hand-cut cardboard stencils and spray paint. First seen on the industrial streets and highways of Queens, the East River bridges, and later in the South Bronx, his signs (such as "Industrial Fossil", "Urban Decay" and "Decay/Abandoned") were spray painted in areas that were in need of construction, demolition or reconstruction. The projects succeeded when the existing condition was removed or remedied.

paragraph: In February 1980, Fekner began working in, around, and out of Fashion Moda, a storefront for experimental art and cultural exchange, and an outpost for showcasing graffiti, breakdancing and rapping. I

paragraph: n 1982, Fekner curates "From The Monkey To The Monitor" which features his "NOTV4U2C" wall mural and audio loop installation, Don Leicht's metal Space Invaders, Fred Baca's drawings and a live performance by Phoebe Legere.

paragraph: In 1968, he painted the words Itchycoo Park in large white letters on an empty building in Gorman Park, New York.

paragraph: In 1978, he curated the "Detective Show" at the same outdoor location in Queens which included the words "street museum" on the invitational card. In reaction to the desolation of the abandoned burnt-out buildings of the South Bronx, Fekner stenciled "Last Hope" in large letters above one crumbling structure.

paragraph: In 1981, Martin Nisenholtz invited Fekner, Andy Warhol, Keith Haring and John Matos/Crash to experiment on the early interactive teletext system Telidon at NYU’s Alternate Media Center, the predecessor of its Interactive Telecommunications Program. Fekner received his first international award at Toronto's Video Culture Festival in the Videotex category for "Toxic Wastes From A to Z", an 8-bit computer graphics animation created at AMC which featured a rap by k-8 students from a South Bronx school.

paragraph: Section::::Collaborations.

paragraph: Fekner began collaborating with Bronx artist Don Leicht at PS1 now called MoMA PS1 where they shared a studio in 1976. In 1982, they began a series of work and installations using steel, cut metal, aluminum and automotive paints based on Nishikado's Space Invaders arcade game with the statement: ""Your Space Has Been Invaded-Our Children are Fighting a Terrible War. Whole families are being sent to Battlescreen."" Their ""Beauty's Only Street Deep"" was installed at the Wooster Collective's "11 Spring Street" street art 2006 exhibition in NYC.

paragraph: Section::::Music projects / Idioblast.

paragraph: In 1983, Fekner formed his own band City Squad composed of musicians and non-musicians as an extension of Queensites, a group of teenagers from Jackson Heights who assisted with the outdoor stencil work. In September, Fekner released his first rap/rock 12" EP on his own Vinyl Gridlock record label. The A-side, "2 4 5 7 9 11" had Kwame Monroe, aka "Bear 167", a South Bronx graffiti artist as the guest rapper; and the B-side featured Dave Santaniello on rock vocals on "Rock Steady". On the Apple II, Fekner experimented with early speech synthesis programs, Votrax and SAM-Software Automatic Mouth as vocal tracks on "2 4 5 7 9 11" and on his "Idioblast (album)" in 1984. In addition to playing keyboards, electronic drums and vocals, he wrote the music and lyrics for the eight songs on the album which featured extensive sampling and tape loops of TV, radio, Native American voices, phone and airport transmissions over rock/rap/hip hop beats. Tracks on the album included "Travelogue The 80s", "I Get Paid To Clap", "The Beat", "The Sight Of The Child"," Wheels Over Indian Trails" and "Rapicasso", which Fekner also created as a 6' × 12' six-panel painting. Both the painting and song pay homage to Picasso’s "The Three Dancers". Fekner spray painted LCD-style letters on industrial silkscreens to portray three breakdancers, the song’s lyrics acknowledging the work, energy and spirit in breakdancing, rapping and graffiti: "Watch the street, see the modern art, it's the present and future tied to his heart." On Earth Day 1990, Fekner painted over it.

paragraph: Section::::Concrete People music and video.

paragraph: The 12" EP single, "Concrete People/Concrete Concerto", was a music collaboration with Dennis Mann (1950–2008) and Al Belfiore who programmed the Linn LM-1 Drum Computer. Fekner recorded at Mann's Monkey Hill Studios from 1983 to 1989 where the Fatback Band, whose "King Tim III (Personality Jock)", considered to be the first commercially released rap single in 1979, were also recording. On both "Concrete People/Concrete Concerto", Fekner worked with musicians Sasha Sumner (sax), Jim Recchione (harmonica), Sandra Seymour (vocals), Sandy Mann (vocals) and Andrew Ruhren (animator and EP cover illustration). Concrete People was a popular dance club video, shown on USA Network Night Flight (TV series)'s "Salute to Animation" with Peter Gabriel's "Sledgehammer", Talking Heads "And She Was" and Timbuk 3's "The Future's So Bright I Gotta Wear Shades". "Concrete People" and "The Last Days of Good and Evil"("Concrete Concerto" soundtrack) both won honorary awards in the Prix Ars Electronica's Computer Animation category, together with award winner John Lasseter for his "Luxo Jr." and "Red's Dream" in 1987 and 1988 respectively.

paragraph: Section::::Reviews.

paragraph: New York Times art critic John Russell wrote…Fekner is an artist who works not only in New York but with New York. The city in its more disinherited aspects is the raw material with which he has been working ever since he got a studio space in P.S. 1 in Long Island City in 1976 and learned to regard the huge dilapidated building as ""an elderly person who has acutely perceived his experience of life."" He went on to work outdoors in Queens and in the Bronx in ways that gave point and urgency to places long sunk in despair. With a word or two ("Decay", for instance, or "Broken Promises"), he brought an element of street theater into disaster areas. With a single stenciled phrase ("Wheels Over Indian Trails," for instance) he mingled present with past on the side of the Pulaski Bridge near the Queens-Midtown Tunnel. What in other hands might have been vandalism had a salutary effect. People in desolate parts of the city saw more, felt more, thought more and came out of their apathy.

paragraph: Lucy Lippard in the Village Voice called him "caption writer to the urban environment, ad-man for the opposition."

paragraph: The Wooster Collective said, "For us, John Fekner's pioneering stencil work is as important to the history of the urban art movement as the work of artists like Haring, Basquiat. It was artists like Fekner, Leicht, Hambleton and others who truly held down the scene back in the early 1980s."

paragraph: Filippo II Colonna

paragraph: Filippo II Colonna (7 April 1663 – 8 November 1714) was an Italian nobleman of prominent Colonna family. He was the 9th Duke and Prince of Paliano.

paragraph: Section::::Biography.

paragraph: Born in Rome, Filippo was the son of Don Lorenzo Onofrio Colonna, hereditary Grand Constable of the Kingdom of Naples, and Maria Mancini, a niece of Cardinal Mazarin. The Spanish had ruled Naples since the early sixteenth century, and the Colonna were prominent servants of the Spanish crown in Italy. In 1687, while his father served as head of the interregnum council of Naples, Filippo was appointed commander of a company of lancers. In 1689 he succeeded his father as Grand Constable and Duke-Prince of Paliano.

paragraph: As a patron of the arts, Filippo had the art gallery in the family's Roman palazzo refurbished. He opened the gallery in 1703. The composer Giovanni Bononcini wrote six serenatas, an oratorio and five operas while in his service (1692–1697). Filippo was a member of the Academy of Arcadia, which had been established in Rome in 1690.

paragraph: Among his other titles, Filippo was Prince of Castiglione, and Duke of Marino, Miraglia and Tagliacozzo. He was made a knight of the Order of the Golden Fleece by Spanish king Carlos II in 1679. In 1710 he became the first Colonna to be appointed hereditary Prince Assistant to the Papal Throne.

paragraph: Don Filippo married the Spanish aristocrat Lorenza de la Cerda in Madrid in 1681, but she died without issue in 1697. Later that year in Rome he wed his second wife, the Italian aristocrat Olimpia Pamphilj (1672–1731), by whom he had several children.

paragraph: The Prince suffered from painful bladder stones and diseased kidneys prior to his death at Rome in 1714. His son Fabrizio II Colonna succeeded him in his hereditary titles. Fabrizio also commissioned a tomb for his father in the church of Sant’ Andrea in the family seat of Paliano, which was executed by the sculptor Bernardino Ludovisi and installed in 1745.

DeLundon released a full-length studio album called The Demonstration in 2007. DeLundon will release a new album late 2010 via Tunecore. Styled as the arch villain of hip hop. DeLundon expresses Intrigue with the duality of good in evil; he lyrically weaves these themes in his music with a distinct delivery. As a producer he describes his music as out of body. His production style is equivalent to a 2012 version of Phil Spector. Experimenting with multiple unrelated abstract mediums and fusing them together to create a hip-hop wall of sound. In early 2012 DeLundon teamed up with Chicago producer Angelbeatz, to form the hip hop group, Angel/DeLundon, and the corresponding music group: Angelbeatz/DeLu3.0.

paragraph: Malcolm McKenzie

paragraph: Malcolm McKenzie (May 31, 1863 – March 15, 1913) was a Canadian politician who served as a member of the Legislative Assembly of Alberta and, briefly, as Alberta Provincial Treasurer.

paragraph: Section::::Early life.

paragraph: Malcolm McKenzie was born in Kincardine, Ontario, in 1863. He attended Queen's University, from which he graduated with a gold medal in philosophy, and then studied for a year in Toronto, Ontario. He came west around 1888 and, after a brief stay in Calgary, Alberta, settled in Fort Macleod, Alberta, where he joined the law firm Haultain, McKenzie and McNeill. That firm dissolved when its senior partner, Frederick W. A. G. Haultain, went to Regina to serve as the first Premier of the Northwest Territories. McKenzie established another law firm with John McDonald and another lawyer; that firm was called McDonald, Martin and McKenzie.

paragraph: Section::::Political career.

paragraph: McKenzie first sought office in the 1904 federal election, when he ran as the Liberal candidate in Alberta (Provisional District). He was narrowly defeated by John Herron of the rival Liberal-Conservative Party. McKenzie then ran in the 1905 Alberta election, the province's first, as the Liberal candidate in Macleod, where he handily defeated his two opponents. In the first legislature he, along with most members from the province's south, favoured Calgary over Edmonton as the Alberta's permanent capital; his side was out-voted 16 to 8. He also proposed the successful name for Granum, located in his district and hitherto known as Leavings Switch; the area around Granum was known as excellent grain land, and "granum" is Latin for grain.

paragraph: In the 1909 election, McKenzie was re-elected in the new district of Claresholm, by a margin still larger than the one he had achieved in 1905. During the Alberta and Great Waterways Railway scandal, he remained loyal to the Liberal government of Alexander Cameron Rutherford; when that government fell, he transferred his allegiance to the new Liberal government of Arthur Sifton, though several other former Rutherford partisans (including Rutherford himself) opposed the new regime. His loyalty was rewarded in May 1912 when Sifton appointed him Provincial Treasurer. In keeping with the era's custom, McKenzie responded to the cabinet appointment by resigning his seat in the legislature to contest it in a by-election. Despite his previous wide margins, in 1912 he carried Claresholm by only 14 votes.

paragraph: McKenzie's tenure as treasurer was not to last long: he caught a chill while attending the convention that nominated him as the Liberals' Claresholm candidate in the 1913 election, and by the time he returned to Edmonton on March 10, 1913, he was sufficiently ill to confine himself to bed. He had developed peritonitis, and died from it early in the morning of March 15. The Liberal "Edmonton Bulletin", in mourning his passing, said that "no lawyer in the province had such a firm grasp in legal matters. No member of the house performed his legislative duties so admirably and so well. He has left his impression on more legislation than any other member." He was survived by a wife and one son.

paragraph: Johannes Zukertort

paragraph: Johannes Hermann Zukertort (Polish: "Jan Hermann Cukiertort"; 7 September 1842 – 20 June 1888) was a leading German-Polish chess master. He was one of the leading world players for most of the 1870s and 1880s, and lost to Wilhelm Steinitz in the World Chess Championship 1886, which is generally regarded as the first World Chess Championship match. He was also defeated by Steinitz in 1872 in an unofficial championship.

paragraph: Zukertort filled his relatively short life with a wide range of other achievements as a soldier, musician, linguist, journalist and political activist. He became a naturalised citizen of the United Kingdom in 1878.

paragraph: Section::::Early life and non-chess achievements.

paragraph: Zukertort was born 7 September 1842 in Lublin, Congress Poland, Russian Empire as Jan Hermann Cukiertort. He said that his mother was the Baroness Krzyżanowska (Krzyzanovska). His father was a Christian Protestant missionary of Jewish origin. The Christian mission among the Jewish population in Russian-occupied Poland was considered an illegal activity. Therefore, the Zukertort family emigrated to Prussia. He was educated at the gymnasium of Breslau, and in 1866 at the University of Breslau, from which he graduated in medicine in 1866. As a member of the medical corps of the German army he saw service in 1866, and again during the Franco-Prussian war of 1870–71.

paragraph: Zukertort is widely believed to have embellished his biography. In an account of his life for the "Norfolk News" in 1872 he claimed aristocratic descent, fluency in nine languages (fourteen, according to other sources), proficiency in swordsmanship, dominoes and whist; said he had played 6,000 games of chess with Adolf Anderssen, fought in numerous battles and was awarded seven medals besides the Order of the Red Eagle and the Iron Cross of the German Army. He also found time to get an M.D. at Breslau in 1865 and work on the staff of Otto von Bismarck's private organ the "Allgemeine Zeitung" in addition to writing two chess books and working as the editor of a chess magazine for several years. "There is some truth in the last sentence: he was co-author of the books, co-editor of the chess magazine."

paragraph: Section::::Chess career.

paragraph: Zukertort learned to play chess in Breslau when he was about 19. Entering a tournament in that city, and receiving the odds of the queen, he lost every game, whereupon he took up the study of Bilguer's "Handbuch", with the result that in 1862 he won games from the leading German chess player Adolf Anderssen at the odds of a knight. Zukertort studied with Anderssen and within a very few years he became one of the strongest players in Germany.

paragraph: Among many other notable matches that Zukertort played with Anderssen, he defeated him in 1866, lost in 1868 by a score of eight wins, three losses, one draw, and finally defeated him convincingly (5–2; no draws) in a match in 1871. In 1867 he moved to Berlin and in 1872 to London. In that year, he played Wilhelm Steinitz in London, losing 9–3 (7 losses, 1 win, 4 draws).

paragraph: Although Zukertort lost both his matches against Steinitz, he proved that he was superior to other opponents throughout the late 1870s and early 1880s. During this period top-class tournaments were rare and Zukertort's best performances were mostly in matches, notably against Anderssen in 1871 and Joseph Henry Blackburne in 1881 (6 wins, 2 losses, 5 draws). Nonetheless Zukertort was one of the most successful tournament players of his time: third place behind Steinitz and Blackburne at London, 1872; first place at Cologne and second at Leipzig in 1877; tied for first with Simon Winawer at the Paris 1878 chess tournament and beat Winawer in the playoff; second at Berlin in 1881, behind Blackburne; tied for fourth at Vienna in 1882; first at London in 1883, 3 points ahead of Steinitz.

paragraph: Zukertort's win in the London 1883 chess tournament was his most significant success: he won his games against most of the world's leading players, scoring 22/26, and he finished 3 points ahead of Steinitz, who was second with 19/26. This tournament established that Steinitz and Zukertort were clearly the best two players in the world, and led to the World Chess Championship match between these two.

paragraph: The 1886 World Chess Championship match lasted from 11 January to 29 March 1886. After building up a 4–1 lead Zukertort wilted, lost four of the last five games and lost the match by 12½–7½.

paragraph: After this defeat, Zukertort's health suffered and he was a greatly weakened player for the remaining two years of his life. Diagnoses of his ailments include rheumatism, coronary heart disease, kidney problems, and arteriosclerosis. His results after the 1886 match declined steeply: seventh at London and third at Nottingham in 1886; fifteenth at Frankfurt and fourth at London in 1887; lost a match in 1887 against Blackburne (1 win, 5 losses, and 8 draws); and seventh at London in 1888.

paragraph: Poor health and lack of physical stamina appeared to be one of Zukertort's two long-term weaknesses: some commentators attributed to illness the severity of his defeat in the 1872 match against Steinitz; aside from the aforementioned tournaments, in the 1883 London tournament he won 22 of his first 23 games, enough to give him an uncatchable lead, but lost his last three games. His other weakness was that, while no one had greater attacking flair, Zukertort never approached Steinitz' understanding of positional play, and Steinitz often outmaneuvered him fairly simply.

paragraph: Unlike the majority of attacking players, Zukertort preferred openings such as and that are closed or semi-closed and offered the possibility of transpositions—in fact in the early 1880s 1.Nf3 was known as "Zukertort's Opening", 40 years before it became known as the Réti Opening.

paragraph: In his prime Zukertort also excelled at blindfold chess. In 1876, he played sixteen games simultaneously while blindfolded, winning eleven, drawing four, and losing only one.

paragraph: Section::::Later life.

paragraph: Mars (rapper)

paragraph: Mario Delgado (born April 18, 1980), better known by his stage name Mars, is a Mexican American rapper, entrepreneur, record producer, photographer, and actor from the San Francisco Bay Area city of Pittsburg, California, who often performs with a Hannibal Lecter-style mask. He specializes in horrorcore music.

paragraph: Section::::Personal life.

paragraph: Mars was born in Antioch, California, and raised throughout East Contra Costa County, primarily in the city of Pittsburg. He attended Liberty High School and Pittsburg Adult Education before dropping out of his regular curriculum and enrolling in various college courses, including photography, marketing and communication, and publication design. In 2007, Mars was romantically linked to adult film star Dawn Avril. In 2016, he dated former Psychopathic Records artist and Insane Clown Posse protege Blahzay Roze. He now resides in Los Angeles, CA.

paragraph: Mars has three children, born in 1999, 2001 and 2007. His son Gavin has appeared in promotional videos, on stage, press, and music videos alongside his father, including the Kung Fu Vampire music video for "Love Bites.”

paragraph: Section::::Career.

paragraph: Delgado began his rap career in 1997. Along with childhood friend J RZ, he formed Mad Insanity Records, through which they released their basement-style tapes to their friends locally. His stage name "Mars" was a nickname he had been called by classmates as a shortened version of his given name.

paragraph: In 1998, he released his first unofficial project, "S.I.D.S.", on homemade cassettes and CD-Rs. Lyrical topics included rape, suicide, murder, and abortion. The tape is now considered a collector’s item by fans.

paragraph: On May 9, 1999, J RZ, Mars, and several Mad Insanity Records artists and crew members were involved in a fight with Detroit rappers Eminem and Proof at The Fillmore in San Francisco during Eminem's performance on his first headlining "Slim Shady" tour. The incident was published in several notable hip-hop blogs and Bay Area newspapers, allowing Mad Insanity Records to gain a regional buzz.

paragraph: In 2001, Mars signed with Black Market Records and helped found Rest In Peace Records with Rod and Anthony Singleton. That same year, Mars helped sign horrorcore pioneer Ganxsta NIP and released the Houston, Texas, artist's album "The Return of the Psychopath" nationwide. Mars also headed the album’s publicity and marketing as project manager for the album. When Black Market CEO Cedric Singleton observed the success Mars achieved with the project management of Ganxsta NIP, he was assigned to oversee the latest album from rap artist Big Lurch, "All Bad". The Rest In Peace moniker was shortlived, due in part to Mars requesting his release from the label to push his own Mad Insanity Records.

paragraph: In 2005, Mars released his debut album, "Mars Attacks", with online stores selling out of copies on the first day of pre-orders, two weeks before the album’s release. Later that year, he received national attention when fan Jeff Weise, who had frequented Mars' website and forum, killed nine people. Mars stated on his website that he had no link to Weise whatsoever other than Weise being a fan of his music. Due to media attention and buzz, he gained the attention of hip-hop distribution label Beyond Spaced Entertainment and re-released "Mars Attacks" to stores worldwide.

paragraph: That same year, Mars was used as the model of a character in "Hostage", a movie based on a novel by Robert Crais. The movie was adapted for the screen by Doug Richardson, with the Mars-influenced role played by Ben Foster.

paragraph: On August 19, 2008, Psychopathic Records and sub-label Hatchet House released their "Tunnel Runners" compilation, featuring material from underground rappers and groups not signed to the label. The compilation entered the Billboard Top 25 Rap Albums chart in its first week. After the Mars track "They Watchin Me" featuring Mike Marshall became the most popular song on the project, Violent J of the group Insane Clown Posse invited Mars to perform on Psychopathic Records’ "Shock Therapy Tour" alongside Anybody Killa, Blaze Ya Dead Homie, Boondox, Axe Murder Boyz, and J Reno. After Boondox experienced medical issues from a prior surgery, Mars replaced the artist on Insane Clown Posse's 2008 “Hallowicked Clown Tour.”

paragraph: In 2009, soon after the release of his album "School House Glock: Extra Credit", a project that blatantly poked fun at his previous controversy, Delgado received international attention once again when Mars fan Richard Sam McCroskey killed four people. McCroskey's MySpace page listed Mars as his favorite rapper, and Mars told law enforcement he had seen and signed autographs for McCroskey at various events before the murders. Following these events, Delgado was interviewed by several TV news outlets around the United States, including CBS News, Fox News, ABC News, and CNN.

paragraph: Mars released "The Zodiac Mixtape (Limited Edition)" LP through Mad Insanity on March 20, 2012. On June 17, 2014, Empire Distribution released his entire discography digitally, including new singles “Hold On,” “Hurt ‘Em,” and “Overnight Change.”

paragraph: In October 2015, Mars was asked to interview his favorite horror figures for a takeover of CBS Radio's website Man Cave Daily. After landing interviews and photoshoots alongside actress Mena Suvari, Insane Clown Posse, and Sid Haig, he was asked to work full-time as a celebrity blogger.

paragraph: In 2016, after a brief hiatus, Mars embarked on his "Road To Redemption" tour. He went on to win the Best Male Hip-Hop trophy at the 9Quota Awards. Mars made several appearances on artists’ albums and compilations, including the song "All I Know," which appeared on "1 World Magazine" and "Knocksmith Magazine"'s "No H" compilation.

The same day, Mars inked a deal with Milwaukee, Wisconsin-based Force 5 Records. He moved to the Midwest to focus on recording music and helping to establish the new label. He released the single “Creatures of the Night,” featuring Tech N9ne and Twiztid, as his first physical record with Force 5. On July 28, 2017, he released his album "Glockcoma". Mars also appeared on New York hardcore musician Danny Diablo's album "The Crackson Heights Project", released to an overseas market through Eternal Sound Records, the international distributor for Force 5 Records. He released a series of songs and appearances on Force 5 Records’ "Ruckus Mixtape", including the song "Freak Treat," which was given away for free both digitally and physically.

paragraph: In 2018, Mars released his collaborative album "Drunk On The Hwy" with Young Swizz through Force 5 Records. On January 20th he won Best Hip-Hop Single Of The Year at the 9Quota Awards for “Creatures Of The Night”. The following year he released The Hangover with Young Swizz and won album of the year at the 2019 9Quota Awards.

paragraph: That year Swizz and Mars released their follow “The Hangovet” EP. mars used this momentum to release the fan favorite “Bad Temper” single making it one of the most downloaded songs in his catalog.

paragraph: Vijay Singh Pathik

paragraph: Vijay Singh Pathik alias Bhoop Singh (1882–1954), popularly known as "Rashtriya Pathik", was Indian revolutionary. He was among the first Indian revolutionaries who lit the torch of freedom movement against British rule. Much before Mohandas K. Gandhi initiated the Satyagrah movement, Pathik experimented during the Bijolia’s Kisan agitation. His real name was Bhoop Singh, but after being implicated in the Lahore conspiracy case in 1915, he changed his name to Vijay Singh Pathik. His grandfather's sacrifice in the struggle of 1857 in Bulandshahr district, affected him deeply to be freedom fighter and rovolutionis. His descendants now live in Delhi.

paragraph: Section::::Early life.

paragraph: Vijay Singh Pathik was born in 1882 in Guthawali village of Bulandshahar district to Hamir Singh and Kamal Kunwari, in a Gurjar family. His father Hamir singh took active part in the Sepoy Mutiny of 1857 and got arrested many times. The name of his grand father was Inder Singh, who was Prime Minister (Diwan) of Malagarh principality (Riyasat) who was killed while fighting against the British. His birth name was Bhup singh, but he changed it to "Vijay Singh Pathik" after being implicated in the Lahore Conspiracy Case in 1915.

paragraph: Section::::Bijoliya Kisaan Andolan.

paragraph: He joined revolutionary organisation in his teenage and took active part against British rule in India. Pathikji’s non-cooperation movement was so successful that Lokmanya Tilak wrote a letter to Maharana Fateh Singh to meet the demand of the Bijoliya agitators. Mahatma Gandhi sent his secretary Mahadev Desai to study the movement. It was Pathikji who fought for the cause of united Rajasthan and had taken up the issue with Prime Minister Jawaharlal Nehru and Sardar Patel. He was jailed for having led the Kisan agitation in Bijoliya. The Kisan Panchayat, Mahila Mandal and Yuvak Mandal invited Pathik to come and lead them. Women of Mewar started to get respect from their folk men. Pathik made people feel that women and men equality is necessary to develop a prosperous society.

paragraph: Pathik was a great patriot and freedom fighter. As author Indira Vyas said, "He would prefer to end his life rather than to bow down the flag. He also wrote the famous flag song which was very popular during that period."

paragraph: Section::::Writer and poet.

paragraph: Being Indian Revolutionary and Satyagrahi, he was also a very well known Hindi poet, writer and journalist. He was the editor of "Rajasthan Kesari" and "Naveen Rajasthan". He also started his own independent Hindi weekly, the "Rajasthan Sandesh" and the "Nav Sandesh" from Ajmer.

paragraph: He expressed his views through "Tarun Rajasthan", Hindi weekly too. He popularly had known as "Rashtriya Pathik".

paragraph: As writer also he made impact through some of his well-known books -"Ajay Meru" ( novel), "Pathik Pramod" (collection of stories), "Pathikji ke Jail ke Patra", "Pathik ki Kavitaon Ka Sangrah" etc. He was also appointed as the President of the Rajputana and Madhya Bharat Provincial Congress.

paragraph: Even Rastrapita Mahatma Gandhi said about him

paragraph: "Pathik is a worker, others are talkers. Pathik is a soldier, brave and impetuous..."

paragraph: The Government of India issued a postage stamp to pay tribute to him.

paragraph: Darren Middleton

paragraph: Darren Middleton (born 4 October 1971) is best known as lead guitarist and songwriter for alternative rock band Powderfinger. He was also lead singer/songwriter for Drag, he current solo tour is 'Splinters' and this is a follow up to his 2013 solo tour 'Translations.' The 'Splinters' tour is Darren tour Western Australia and Victoria in August and November 2016, respectively.

paragraph: After Powderfinger's dissolution in 2010, Middleton released his first solo LP, “Translations” in November 2013, featuring many guests such as Nic Cester (Jet), Bernard Fanning (Powderfinger), Pete Murray, Paul Dempsey (Something for Kate), Clare Bowditch and Amy Findlay (Stonefield).

paragraph: Middleton began guitar in high school, influenced by Twisted Sister and AC/DC, and began playing in clubs around his hometown of Brisbane as part of his first band, Sonic Tapestry. He went on to form another band, Pirate, with high school friends, and met Powderfinger at a Pirate show. He was invited to join the band, and did so. Middleton took part in all of Powderfinger's recordings, at the same time writing and releasing an EP and studio album with Drag.

paragraph: Section::::Musical career.

paragraph: Section::::Musical career.:Early work.

paragraph: Middleton was inspired to learn guitar by Twisted Sister and AC/DC, noting the first songs he wanted to learn could have been "I Wanna Rock" and "We're Not Gonna Take It", or any song by AC/DC. He did not take guitar lessons, and instead taught himself the instrument. Middleton formed a band named Sonic Tapestry with high school friends, and played around Brisbane's "biker-fest circuit". The band's first show was at the Atcherley Hotel, on Wednesday's "Heavy Metal Night", however the band, unaware of the genre, played "80s glam metal stuff".

paragraph: Section::::Musical career.:Powderfinger (1989–2010).

paragraph: Middleton first encountered Powderfinger when it consisted of Bernard Fanning, Ian Haug, John Collins, and Jon Coghill. At the time, Middleton had been playing with Sonic Tapestry, and another band named Pirate. After seeing his band perform, Powderfinger invited Middleton to join them, and he accepted. Middleton described Powderfinger's early days as highly influenced by other popular heavy metal bands at the time, especially Pantera. Despite the band's members all having come from casual projects, the band's meetings were highly serious, according to Middleton, although he admitted they were "confused" in exactly what they wanted to do. Powderfinger generally performed covers of The Rolling Stones, The Doors, Led Zeppelin, and Steppenwolf, as well as Neil Young in their early days, in similar clubs to those in which Middleton had first played.

paragraph: Powderfinger released two early EPs and a debut album, without success, and considered separating, with Middleton contemplating a return to University. However, after Fanning wrote "Pick You Up", the band's mainstream breakthrough, they decided to stick together. From this point on, the band considered themselves to be making "real money".

paragraph: In 2001, on a tour in the United States, Powderfinger played with Coldplay, in what Middleton described as a highlight. The band also played on the "Late Show with David Letterman" to promote "Odyssey Number Five". After Coldplay cut short the tour, Powderfinger ended up playing numerous US shows themselves, before returning to Australia to play Splendour in the Grass. Middleton's partner gave birth to the couple's first daughter in September 2001. Middleton summarised the year with the comment "This year has been a bit of a blur".

paragraph: Section::::Musical career.:Drag (2000–2006).

paragraph: While touring with Powderfinger, Middleton also wrote his own works, occasionally fine tuning them in hotels where the band was staying. These would go on to be the songs he sang for Drag. Middleton formed Drag with drummer and Powderfinger engineer Mark McElligott, Brisbane bass guitarist Sean Hartman, and long-time friend Matt Murphy. Drag released an EP, "Gas Food Lodging", on 26 October 2003 through Dew Process. The band followed this up with several gigs in Brisbane; a tour down the East Coast of Australia was canceled when Middleton caught the flu. After completing work on "Gas Food Lodging", Powderfinger reunited and went on to record "Vulture Street".

paragraph: Drag reunited in 2005 to produce their debut studio album, "The Way Out", which was released on 10 July 2005. In recording the album, Drag spent three weeks at Byron Bay in March 2005, collaborating with each other and producer David Nicholas. The album earned Drag some positive reception; "Rave" magazine wrote that "Darren Middleton's creative genius absolutely beguiled me with some extremely mature compositions", and David Nicholas won an ARIA Award for his role as producer. The album was also nominated for "Engineer of the Year". Following "The Way Out", Drag toured around Australia, playing with UK band Athlete. This culminated with the bands playing at Splendour in the Grass, where it was noted that Middleton needed "to work on his stage presence". Following the tour, Powderfinger reunited, and "Dream Days at the Hotel Existence" was released in 2007.

paragraph: Section::::Musical career.:Solo Work (2012-Current).

paragraph: After Powderfinger called it quits in 2010, Middleton started working on his first solo LP, “Translations”. The album was released in November 2013, featuring many guests such as Nic Cester (Jet), Bernard Fanning (Powderfinger), Pete Murray, Paul Dempsey (Something for Kate), Clare Bowditch and Amy Findlay (Stonefield). 2016 sees Darren Middleton return to touring, as he embarks on a four show of Western Australia (three shows) and Victoria (one show) in August and November. This tour is for his newest solo project 'Splinters'.

paragraph: Section::::Musical style and influences.

paragraph: Middleton rarely takes a singer or songwriter's role for Powderfinger, generally delegating those tasks to Bernard Fanning. However, the song "Over My Head" from "Internationalist" had Middleton performing vocals. This came about when Middleton did a recording of himself singing the song before Fanning had the chance to do so. Previously, Middleton had written the lyrics to "JC", which was sung by Fanning. However, Middleton sung JC several times throughout the 2007 Upstairs at the Downstairs tour. Despite Middleton's minimal songwriting, he has been praised for it by his bandmates; Jon Coghill told a 1999 interview that "Darren (Middleton) and Bernie (Fanning) are extremely good at writing songs." Middleton agrees with this analysis; telling "Undercover"'s Paul Cashmere in 2003 that "We are about writing good music." He commented that the band used their position at the top of the Australian industry to comment and give people ideas to think about, rather than "trying to say people should take it as gospel". Middleton has criticised the "boy band" phenomena, pointing out that "A lot of them can sing well, but they have people writing all their lyrics for them."

paragraph: Middleton has cited numerous Australian bands, including AC/DC, Crowded House, and Midnight Oil, as ongoing influences in his music, as well as international artists including Neil Young, Led Zeppelin, and Ben Harper. "I went through a bad eighties stage. Bad glam bands. Twisted Sister. Some really bad punk", Middleton comments on the time in which he learned the guitar. Middleton has used a Les Paul guitar, and was praised by Alphonse Leong of "Drop-D", described as playing it "as well as any of the seminal axe-noodlers of the hippie era".

paragraph: Yawar Waqaq

paragraph: Yawar Waqaq (Hispanicized spellings "Yahuar Huacac, Yáhuar Huácac") or Yawar Waqaq Inka was the seventh Sapa Inca of the Kingdom of Cusco (beginning around CE 1380) and the second of the Hanan dynasty.

paragraph: His father was Inca Roca (Inka Ruq'a). Yawar's wife was Mama Chicya (or Chu-Ya) and their sons were Viracocha (Wiraqucha), Paucar Ayllu, and Pahuac Hualpa Mayta. Yawar's name refers to a story that he was abducted as a child by the Ayarmaca Sinchi Tocay Ccapac, crying tears of blood over his predicament. He eventually escaped with the help of one of his captor's mistresses, Chimpu Orma. Assuming the reign at the age of 19, Yawar conquered Pillauya, Choyca, Yuco, Chillincay, Taocamarca and Cavinas.
