paragraph: Heinz Braun

paragraph: Heinz Braun (12 January 1938, Munich - 21 February 1986, Munich) was a German autodidact painter and occasional actor.

paragraph: Section::::Personal life.

paragraph: Braun was born into a modest background. His mother was a tailor and his father a taxi driver. After completing school, he became a mail carrier. His father occasionally painted, and Braun, an autodidact, followed his example. He married Elisabeth Schmelzer in 1965 and moved to Germering, at the outskirts of his native Munich. There he continued to work as a postman. In January 1968, the couple had a son they named Alexander.

paragraph: In 1966 he had a nervous breakdown. After that, he began to create abstract works. In 1979 Braun became unable to work due to a walking disability. He retired from the post office and began to receive an disability pension.

paragraph: Section::::Artistic work.

paragraph: Braun painted at least since completing school, but from 1951 onward, he devoted himself more and more to painting. In the beginning, his paintings were mainly decorative art, but gradually his personal style got more expressive and unconventional. From about 1971, Braun painted with oils on canvas in a style that was partly photo-realistic and partly surreal. Influential to this change of style was his visit to the documenta 5, contemporary art exhibition in 1972. He is said to have spent more and more time at the Alte Pinakothek in Munich, studying the Old Masters, copying many works and figuring out their styles. In 1974, Braun became acquainted with Herbert Achternbusch, a German independent movie director, and played leading parts in some of his productions. He is remembered as a bulky and boisterous man, 2 meters (6 feet 4 inches) tall and described as ferocious, in the later years even rabid.

paragraph: A 1982 article in the magazine "Stern" is assumed to be the initial recognition of Braun's career as an artist. From then on, his work was compared to the "Neue Wilde", a group of several artist in the 1980s. National and international exhibitions followed. In 1983, his artwork was presented, among others, in the "Gallery Pon" in Zurich and the "Ponova Gallery" in Toronto, Ontario, Canada.

paragraph: After being diagnosed with cancer, Braun painted obsessively. On one hand, he tried to face up to the disease by means of paintings, on the other hand due to his paintings he never lost his optimism. He began to use expressive techniques, such as modeling landscapes with clay, sand, mud and dung on the canvas and became "brutally honest" in his portraits of friends as well as in portraying himself, showing the decay of his body under the influence of laryngeal cancer.

paragraph: Only twice did he earn money beyond the bare necessities by selling some works. Both times, he spent it on alternative cancer therapies in the care of the controversial Doctor Julius Hackethal.

paragraph: Section::::Death and legacy.

paragraph: In 1986 Heinz Braun succumbed to cancer. After his death both the Munich Stadtmuseum and the Kunsthalle Emden dedicated solo exhibitions to his artwork. The "Cycle Großhadern", his last drawings that were created while at the Klinikum Großhadern, a hospital of Munich, now is part of the permanent exhibition of the Kunsthalle Emden. Additionally, works by Braun are housed in the collection of the Munich Stadtmuseum, in the Lenbachhaus Munich, and also in various private foundations and numerous private collections. The city of Germering has named a hall of the civic center after Heinz Braun.

paragraph: The respected Süddeutsche Zeitung called his works an "elemental power" and himself an "event of nature" because of the impressive force of his paintings.

paragraph: John Strawson (British Army officer)

paragraph: Major General John Strawson CBE (1 January 1921 – 21 February 2014) was a British Army officer, best known for his service during the Second World War in the Middle East and Italy, and afterwards in Germany and Malaya. Following the amalgamation of the 4th and 8th Hussars as The Queen's Royal Irish Hussars, he commanded the Regiment in Malaysia and Germany. For his leadership during the Borneo campaign he was awarded the O.B.E.

paragraph: Later he commanded at brigade level and was Chief of Staff, United Kingdom Land Forces. For this latter service he was awarded a C.B.E. He had previously been awarded the US Bronze Star for his leadership during the Italian campaign of 1944–45. In civilian life he became a prolific author, especially on military matters.

paragraph: Section::::Early life.

paragraph: John Strawson was born in Ealing in 1921. His father was the headmaster of an East London secondary school whose health was ruined by four years of service on the Western Front during the Great War. He died prematurely in 1936, leaving Strawson, his brothers Galen and Peter and sister Margaret in impoverished circumstances. Unlike Peter, who successfully achieved a bursary to St John's College, Oxford, and went on to become one of the most famous philosophers of Britain, John was, by necessity, obliged to join the Civil Service, leaving to join the army at the outbreak of hostilities in 1939.

paragraph: Section::::Army career.

paragraph: Strawson was commissioned into the 4th Queen's Own Hussars as a cornet in 1942 and joined the regiment at Kokini Trimithia, near Nicosia, where it was temporarily out of the line for refit. He joined the 4th Hussars at a time when most of its officers had been captured by the Germans during the ill fated Greek campaign. The regiment had been overrun and forced to surrender with only a small number escaping. As a result, many of his brother officers were drafted in from other cavalry regiments.

paragraph: On returning to Egypt, the regiment was stationed at Beni Yusef camp in Cairo in the region of Mena, beside the pyramids. Despite the exigencies of war, Strawson writes fondly of being able to enjoy such pursuits as "polo, golf, tennis, squash, swimming and poodle faking".

paragraph: Section::::Command.

paragraph: On promotion to lieutenant colonel, Strawson assumed command of the Queen's Royal Irish Hussars, into which his own regiment, the 4th Queen's Own Hussars, had been amalgamated. He took the QRIH through the Malayan Campaign, peacetime in Germany and a further tour in Borneo, where he was appointed OBE in recognition of his leadership.

paragraph: Section::::Civilian life.

paragraph: After retiring from the Army, Strawson wrote a number of books of military history and biography, including studies of the British Army. He collaborated with General Sir John Hackett and others in writing the two volumes of "". His later books include "The Duke and the Emperor: Wellington and Napoleon" (1994) and "Churchill and Hitler: In Victory and Defeat" (1997).

paragraph: To the end of his life he continued to attend a variety of events in support of the British Army and, in particular, of the Old Comrades Association of the Queen's Royal Hussars, where he was known to all as "General John".

paragraph: Section::::Family.

paragraph: Strawson married Baroness Wilfred von Schellersheim in Eisbergen during 1960. They lived in Chitterne, Wiltshire. They had two married daughters. His elder brother was the Oxford philosopher, Sir Peter Strawson and his nephew is British philosopher and literary critic Galen John Strawson.

paragraph: Jacobus Bellamy

paragraph: Jacob (Jacobus) Bellamy (November 12, 1757 in Vlissingen, Netherlands – March 11, 1786 in Utrecht) was a Dutch poet.

paragraph: Section::::Biographical notes.

paragraph: Jacobus Bellamy was the son of Jacques Bellami jr. and Sara Hoefnagel. His father died when he was 4. His Swiss-born (Vevey) grandfather then moved in with the family. From the age of 12 Jacobus started working as a bakers help. At this young age Jacobus already developed a profound liking of poetry, in which he found consolation. Prominent Dutch poets of the time, like Joannes Antonides and Hubert Kornelisz. Poot, were exemplary to him.

paragraph: A vicar recommended him to a local lyrical society, and later supported his application as a student of the clergy. As a student he became member of a poetical circle in The Hague. As a member he developed a theory in which looseness, truth and nature are essential conditions in any work of art. His own poetry became Anacreontics in form.

paragraph: In Vlissingen he fell in love with Francina/Fransje (or Fillis) Baane. However, she engaged herself to another man in 1779, who died a year later. Jacobus then secretly engaged Francina. When Francines mother found out about their affair, she forbade it. In later years the couple would only meet in secret in the house of a mutual friend. Only when Bellamy became published and recognised as a poet, Francine's mother acknowledged the bond between her daughter and Bellamy.

paragraph: Towards the end of 1781, after some private tutoring by the dean, he was admitted as a student at Utrecht University. Several residents of his hometown provided financial support. He rented a room in de Lange Nieuwstraat in Utrecht.

paragraph: In 1782 he published his first book of poetry, "Gezangen van mijn jeugd" (Songs of my youth).

paragraph: He died in 1786, and was buried in the Nicolaikerk in Utrecht.

paragraph: Section::::On his poetry.

paragraph: Before his first book of poems, in 1781 a poem was published in a patriotic weekly called "De Post van den Neder-Rhijn", under a patriotic nom de plume Zelandus (derived from the province where he was born, Zeeland). Influenced by a popular poet, he developed a style of poetry that could be understood by common people, which also expressed his feelings of patriotism and independence. With the publisher Jan Martinus van Vloten he published nine poems between 1782 and 1783 in "De Post van den Neder-Rhijn". Together they were published in his second book.

paragraph: In 1784 Bellamy became editor of a literary magazine called "Proeven voor het verstand, den smaak en het hart", originally started by his friend reverend Willem Ockerse. In the second edition he published a well known poem called "Roosje" (Little Rose). In this period he left the poetical group in the Hague, and joined a similar circle in Utrecht. He also started a magazine of his own, "De Poëtische Spectator", in which he criticized his old poetical society. His last book was published in 1785, in which he called his poems "odes", after an example set by another poet Antoinette Ockerse.

paragraph: Guttorm Hansen

paragraph: Guttorm Hansen (3 November 1920 – 2 April 2009) was a Norwegian writer and politician for the Labour Party. He started his career as a mechanic, but after 1945 he was a journalist and editor of magazines and newspapers. Via local politics in his native Namsos he was elected to the Norwegian Parliament in 1961, serving six terms in total. He was the President of the Storting for two of these terms, from 1973 to 1981. He was also known as a prolific book writer, many of his books having a direct connection to his political life.

paragraph: Section::::Career.

paragraph: He was born in Namsos as the son of mechanic Håkon Hansen (1895–1963) and housewife Agnes Selnes (1900–1924). Before 1945 he worked as a mechanic himself, and since he only had promary education, he took extra education in the evenings. From 1945 to 1948 he worked as a journalist and subeditor in the temperance magazine "Menneskevennen". He then worked as editor-in-chief of "Firdaposten" from 1948 to 1951 and as a journalist in "Namdal Arbeiderblad" from 1951 to 1961.

paragraph: Hansen's mother died from tuberculosis, and due to his social background and environment it was no surprise that he joined the labour movement. He started his party political career in the Workers' Youth League, and sat in its central committee as secretary from 1947 to 1948. He was a member of Namsos municipal council from 1955 to 1963, and served as a deputy representative to the Norwegian Parliament from Nord-Trøndelag during the term 1958–1961. During the same period he chaired the party chapter in Namdalen. In 1961 he was elected for his first proper term in the Norwegian Parliament. He would be re-elected on five occasions, his last term ending in 1985. When the first cabinet Bratteli held office between 1971 and 1972, Hansen became leader of the Labour Party parliamentary council. From 1973 to 1981 he served as President of the Storting. Also, he was asked three times to become a government minister, but declined. He was regarded by himself and others as a legislator first and foremost, and in 1985 the newspaper "Dagbladet" labelled him "the last Eidsvoll man".

paragraph: From 1981 to 1985 he took up his work from after 1945, as chair of the informal parliamentary temperance group. He was also a member of several public boards and committees, chairing "Statens naturvernråd" from 1963 to 1965 and the board of "Direktoratet for vilt og ferskvannsfisk" from 1977 to 1980. From 1985 to 1992 he was a member of the Arts Council Norway, and from 1981 to 1983 he was a member of the presidium of the Nordic Council. He chaired the board of Fosdalen Bergverk from 1975 to 1977, and was a member of the board of DNO, Det Norske Luftfartsselskap from 1974 to 1977 and Aschehoug from 1977 to 1985.

paragraph: Hansen was a supporter of NATO and the European Community, chairing the Norwegian Atlantic Committee from 1966 to 1985 and being a board member of the European Movement in Norway from 1971 to 1975. He wrote several books, mostly debate books on foreign policy and security policy. He also published several memoirs about his time in politics and the Parliament: "Der er det godt å sitte" (1984), "Fra min plass. Politiske erindringer 1970-1985" (1986), "Trehesten, partiet og gutten" (1987) and "Etterkrigstid. Politiske erindringer fra 1945 til 1990" (1990). Books like these sold well, but are also cited by scholars. His book "Om Stortingets arbeidsordning", co-written with Parliament secretary Erik Mo and released in 1994, is also often referenced.

paragraph: Hansen was married to Karin Johanne Johnsen since December 1947. He died in Namsos in April 2009.

paragraph: Walter Jackson Freeman II

paragraph: Walter Jackson Freeman II (November 14, 1895 – May 31, 1972) was an American physician who specialized in lobotomy.

paragraph: Section::::Biography and early years.

paragraph: Walter J. Freeman was born on November 14, 1895 and raised in Philadelphia, Pennsylvania by his parents. Freeman's grandfather, William Williams Keen, was well known as a surgeon in the Civil War. His father was also a very successful doctor. Freeman attended Yale University, which at the time was Yale College, beginning in 1912, and graduated in 1916. He then moved on to study neurology at the University of Pennsylvania Medical School. While attending medical school, he studied the work of William Spiller and idolized his groundbreaking work in the new field of the neurological sciences. Spiller also worked in Philadelphia and was credited by many in the world of psychology as being the founder of neurology. Freeman applied for a coveted position working alongside Spiller in his home town of Philadelphia, but was rejected.

paragraph: Shortly afterward, in 1924, Freeman relocated to Washington D.C. and started practicing as the first neurologist in the city. Upon his arrival in Washington, Freeman began work directing labs at St. Elizabeth's Hospital. Working at the hospital and witnessing the pain and distress suffered by the patients encouraged him to continue his education in the field. Freeman earned his PhD in neuropathology within the following few years and secured a position at George Washington University in Washington, D.C. as head of the neurology department.

paragraph: In 1932, his mother died at the Philadelphia Orthopedic Hospital in Philadelphia, Pennsylvania.

paragraph: Section::::Biography and early years.:Lobotomy.

paragraph: The first systematic attempt at human psychosurgery – performed in the 1880s–1890s – is commonly attributed to the Swiss psychiatrist Gottlieb Burckhardt. Burckhardt's experimental surgical forays were largely condemned at the time and in the subsequent decades psychosurgery was attempted only intermittently. On November 12, 1935, a new psychosurgery procedure was performed in Portugal under the direction of the neurologist and physician Egas Moniz. His new "leucotomy" procedure, intended to treat mental illness, took small corings of the patient's frontal lobes. Moniz became a mentor and idol for Freeman who modified the procedure and renamed it the "lobotomy". Instead of taking corings from the frontal lobes, Freeman's procedure severed the connection between the frontal lobes and the thalamus. Because Freeman lost his license to perform surgery himself after his last patient died on the operating table, he enlisted neurosurgeon James Watts as a research partner. One year after the first leucotomy, on September 14, 1936, Freeman directed Watts through the very first prefrontal lobotomy in the United States on housewife Alice Hood Hammatt of Topeka, Kansas. By November, only two months after performing their first lobotomy surgery, Freeman and Watts had already worked on 20 cases including several follow-up operations. By 1942, the duo had performed over 200 lobotomy procedures and had published results claiming 63% of patients had improved, 24% were reported to be unchanged and 14% were worse after surgery.

paragraph: After almost ten years of performing lobotomies, Freeman heard of a doctor in Italy named Amarro Fiamberti who operated on the brain through his patients' eye sockets, allowing him to access the brain without drilling through the skull. After experimenting with novel ways of performing these brain surgeries, Freeman formulated a new procedure called the transorbital lobotomy. This new procedure became known as the "icepick" lobotomy and was performed by inserting a metal pick into the corner of each eye-socket, hammering it through the thin bone there with a mallet, and moving it back and forth, severing the connections to the prefrontal cortex in the frontal lobes of the brain. He performed the transorbital lobotomy surgery for the first time in Washington D.C. on a housewife named Sallie Ellen Ionesco. This transorbital lobotomy method did not require a neurosurgeon and could be performed outside of an operating room without the use of anesthesia by using electroconvulsive therapy to induce seizure. The modifications to his lobotomy allowed Freeman to broaden the use of the surgery, which could be performed in psychiatric hospitals throughout the United States that were overpopulated and understaffed. In 1950, Walter Freeman's longtime partner James Watts left their practice and split from Freeman due to his opposition to the cruelty and overuse of the transorbital lobotomy.

paragraph: Following his development of the transorbital lobotomy, Freeman traveled across the country visiting mental institutions, performing lobotomies and spreading his views and methods to institution staff. (Contrary to myth, there is no evidence that he referred to the van that he traveled in as a "lobotomobile".) Freeman's name gained popularity despite the widespread criticism of his methods following a lobotomy on President John F. Kennedy's sister Rosemary Kennedy, which left her with severe mental and physical disability. A memoir written by former patient Howard Dully, called "My Lobotomy" documented his experiences with Freeman and his long recovery after undergoing a lobotomy surgery at 12 years of age. Walter Freeman charged just $25 for each procedure that he performed. After four decades Freeman had personally performed as many as 4,000 lobotomy surgeries in 23 states, of which 2,500 used his ice-pick procedure, despite the fact that he had no formal surgical training. In February 1967, Freeman performed his final surgery on Helen Mortensen. Up to 40% of Freeman's patients were gay individuals subjected to a lobotomy in an attempt to change their homosexual orientation, leaving most of these perfectly healthy individuals severely disabled for the rest of their life. Mortensen was a longterm patient and was receiving her third lobotomy from Freeman. She died of a cerebral hemorrhage, as did as many as 100 of his other patients, and he was finally banned from performing surgery. His patients often had to be retaught how to eat and use the bathroom. Relapses were common, some never recovered, and about 15% died from the procedure. In 1951, one patient at Iowa's Cherokee Mental Health Institute died when Freeman suddenly stopped for a photo during the procedure, and the surgical instrument accidentally penetrated too far into the patient's brain. Freeman wore neither gloves nor a mask during these procedures. He lobotomized 19 minors including a 4-year-old child.

paragraph: At age 57, Freeman retired from his position at George Washington University and opened up a modest practice in California.

paragraph: An extensive collection of Freeman's papers were donated to The George Washington University in 1980. The collection largely deals with the work that Freeman and James W. Watts did on psychosurgery over the course of their medical careers. The collection is currently under the care of GWU's Special Collections Research Center, located in the Estelle and Melvin Gelman Library.

paragraph: Freeman was known for his eccentricities and he complemented his theatrical approach to demonstrating surgery by sporting a cane, goatee, and a narrow-brimmed hat.

paragraph: Freeman died, of complications arising from an operation for cancer, on May 31, 1972.

paragraph: He was survived by four children - Walter, Frank, Paul and Lorne - who became defenders of their father's legacy. Paul became a psychiatrist in San Francisco and the eldest, Walter Jr, became a professor emeritus of neurobiology at the University of California.

paragraph: Section::::Contributions to psychiatry.

paragraph: Walter Freeman nominated his mentor António Egas Moniz for a Nobel prize, and in 1949 Moniz won the Nobel prize in physiology and medicine. He pioneered and helped open up the psychiatric world to the idea of what would become psychosurgery. At the time, it was seen as a possible treatment for severe mental illness, but "within a few years, lobotomy was labeled one of the most barbaric mistakes of modern medicine." He also helped to demonstrate the idea that mental events have a physiological basis. Despite his interest in mind, Freeman was "uninterested in animal experiments or understanding what was happening in the brain". Freeman was also co-founder and president of the American Board of Psychiatry and Neurology from 1946 to 1947 and a contributor and member of the American Psychiatric Association.

paragraph: Diether of Isenburg (German: "Diether von Isenburg"; sometimes also anglicized as "Theodoric of Isenburg"; c. 1412 – 7 May 1482) was Elector and Archbishop of Mainz from 1459 until 1461, and again from 1475 until 1482.

paragraph: Section::::Biography.

paragraph: Diether was a son of Diether I, count of Isenburg-Büdingen.

paragraph: Early in childhood he was sent into a religious life. He was educated in Cologne and later Erfurt. In 1427 he became a member of Mainz Cathedral, in 1434 a rector in Erfurt, and in 1453 a cathedral vicar. In 1456 the cathedral chapter of Trier elected John II of Baden against Diether. On 18 June 1459 he was elected the Archbishop of Mainz with a clear majority over Adolph of Nassau-Wiesbaden-Idstein, although never confirmed by the Pope.

paragraph: In 1461 he went to Nuremberg for Imperial and Papal reform, and its recommendations earned him the wrath of both the Emperor Frederick III and Pope Pius II.

paragraph: Diether refused to cease reforms in the church, and thus Pius II declared Adolph of Nassau the Archbishop of Mainz, beginning the Mainz Feud. The archdiocese was wracked by violent warfare. On the night of 28 October 1462 Adolph captured the city of Mainz, killed 400 citizens and had another 400 including Johannes Gutenberg exiled, and revoked its town charter and status as an Imperial City. However Diether did not leave the city until 1463. When Adolph died in 1475 he recommended Diether be his successor, and on 9 November that year he was again elected. The reformist Pope Sixtus IV confirmed him. In 1477 Diether donated the University of Mainz to the city.

paragraph: He died in Aschaffenburg in 1482 and was buried in Mainz Cathedral.

paragraph: Ishpuini (also Ishpuinis) (ruled: 828–810 BC) was king of Urartu. He succeeded his father, Sarduri I, who moved the capital to Tushpa (Van). Ishpuini conquered the Mannaean city of Musasir, which was then made the religious center of the empire. The main temple for the war god Haldi was in Musasir. Ishpuinis and his nation were then attacked by the forces of the Assyrian King Shamshi-Adad V. Ishpuinis fought and defeated Shamshi-Adad. Ishpuini was so confident in his power that he began using names meaning everlasting glory, including, "King of the land of Nairi", "Glorious King", and "King of the Universe".

paragraph: Banine

paragraph: Umm-El-Banine Assadoulaeff (Umm El-Banu Äsâdullayeva) (18 December 1905 – 23 October 1992) was a French writer of Azerbaijani descent - a granddaughter of Azerbaijani millionaire Musa Nagiyev and daughter of Azerbaijani businessman and politician Mirza Asadullayev. She wrote under the penname of Banine.

paragraph: Banine emigrated to France in 1923 following her father, a former minister in the government of the Azerbaijan Democratic Republic (December 1918-April 1920). She moved to Istanbul where she abandoned her husband whom she had been forced to marry at the age of fifteen and then fled to Paris. There, after many years, literary acquaintances, including Henry de Montherlant, Nikos Kazantzakis, and André Malraux urged her to publish. Banine dedicated her later life to introducing the history and culture of Azerbaijan to France and Europe. Her most famous writings are "Caucasian days" and "Parisian days". Banine, who was the friend of the German writer Ernst Jünger and Russian Ivan Bunin, tells about her conversion to Roman Catholicism in her books.

paragraph: Before her death, Banin published several articles about the situation in Azerbaijan. She died in October 1992. Her obituary in the newspaper Le Figaro called her "one of those personages of La vie romanesque who traverse a century, attracting like a lodestone all the singular figures of their times".

paragraph: François de Nomé

paragraph: François de Nomé (1593 – after 1620) was a French painter of the Baroque period, active mainly in Naples.

paragraph: Section::::Biography.

paragraph: Born in Metz in the Lorraine region in 1593, de Nomé had moved to Rome by 1602 where he worked in the workshop of the Flemish landscape painter Balthasar Lauwers until around 1610 after which he moved to Naples.

paragraph: Section::::Work.

paragraph: Until the mid-twentieth century de Nomé's works were believed to be by one "Monsù Desiderio". However the works formerly attributed to Desiderio have since been identified as the work of at least three artists: de Nomé, Didier Barra, who was also from Metz, and a third, as yet unnamed painter. The figures in de Nomé's works were painted by other artists, including Belisario Corenzio and Jacob van Swanenburgh.

paragraph: The themes are bizarre, typically decrepit ruins or near-barren buildings in a nearly-surrealist, apparently post-apocalyptic landscape. People are tiny figures, skies overcast, tonalities earthen, and edges indistinct. His depiction of Venice's Piazza di San Marco is correctly populated by the appropriate structures, but the details are all invented.

paragraph: The style was not highly influential for Italian painters of landscapes (veduta) in the next century, with the exception of perhaps Alessandro Magnasco. However, the depictions of nightmarish wilderness amidst the detritus of civilization was a thematic adopted by painters such as Salvatore Rosa and Michelangelo Cerquozzi, and reappears in the "capricci" (whimsical and fantastic monuments, ruins, or buildings) of Piranesi.

paragraph: Charles Hadcock

paragraph: Charles William George Hadcock DL (born 1965 in Derby) is a British sculptor specialising in monumental sculpture that reflects his interest in geology, engineering and mathematics enriched with references to music, philosophy and poetry.

paragraph: Section::::Education.

paragraph: Charles Hadcock studied at Ampleforth College 1979–1983, Derby College of Art & Technology 1983–1984, Cheltenham College of Art 1984–1987, Royal College of Art 1987–1989

paragraph: Section::::Career.

paragraph: Aspects of the natural world, geology and engineering lie in combination within Charles Hadcock's work openly, or as hidden jewels. Finding that the mathematical formulas for shapes observed within the natural world are often the source for solving engineering design problems, Hadcock has incorporated these ideas both at first and at second hand into components for his sculptures. Thus, his direct observation of rocks becomes a source for the surface of his sculptures whilst mathematics comes to the fore in planning how a sculpture may be achieved with multiple castings of a single form. Hadcock's works are imbued with a visual vitality so that the sculptures remain free, dynamic, unrestrained and immediate.

paragraph: Hadcock prefers to work on his own sculpture rather than rely on production facilities so that the eye and hand of the artist is apparent in every work. His belief is that his knowledge, skill and techniques are constantly evolving, informing each piece he makes.

paragraph: Investigating Multiples , a solo exhibition in London at Reed's Wharf Gallery in 1996 followed the siting of "Caesura IV" at Sculpture at Goodwood. His first monumental public commission in 1997 "Passacaglia" came after a national competition for a permanent work to be installed on Brighton Beach. Controversial initially, "Passacaglia" is now an iconic feature of the Brighton beachfront.

paragraph: A 1999 exhibition of Hadcock's drawings and maquettes 'If in doubt, ask' at London's Imperial College was part of a drive by the University to encourage engineering students to learn about the Arts. "There is 1 in all of us" was a collaboration with soundscape engineers at the Gardner Arts Centre, University of Sussex, whilst the Peter Scott Gallery at Lancaster University had to find additional exhibition space outside the gallery in 2006.

paragraph: Hadcock was included in the 1999 exhibition of British sculptors 'Shape of the Century' at Salisbury Cathedral and Canary Wharf which was followed by inclusion in Bronze: Contemporary British Sculpture a group show to celebrate the millennium and the tradition of siting Bronze sculpture in London parks. Hadcock's monumental bronze "Caesura VI" was installed and remains in situ in Holland Park, London.

paragraph: At this time Hadcock moved his studio from London to Lancashire when the scale of his work required additional space and facilities to enable the production of the monumental works being frequently commissioned for locations around the country.

paragraph: Hadcock has on occasion produced commissions to brief, such as a monument to commemorate film director James Whale, erected in 2001 on the grounds of a multiplex cinema in Whale's home town of Dudley, and the installation of a sculptural gate and railings around a development in Central London.

paragraph: Hadcock's exhibiting programme continued with a solo show at Canary Wharf in 2003, followed by a second larger solo show in 2011. He exhibited in Sotheby's Beyond Limits Exhibition at Chatsworth House in 2011 and 2016 and in independent solo exhibitions in London at 60 Threadneedle Street 2015 in the award winning Eric Parry Architects designed foyer, and in a pop-up gallery near Green Park in 2016 with solo exhibition Fusion.

paragraph: Section::::Business.

paragraph: Charles Hadcock is a director of Roach Bridge Tissues, a Lancashire based manufacturing company specialising in bespoke printing and conversion of tissue wrapping paper.

paragraph: Between 2008 and 2012 he managed the development and installation of a hydro-electric power generating station at Roach Bridge Mill, Lancashire, where he is also the development director for an ongoing project to create a new business village on the historic mill site.

paragraph: Hadcock is Chairman of Creative Lancashire a public and private sector initiative to encourage and support all the creative industries in Lancashire.

paragraph: Past projects include the development and management of The Watermark Studios a mix of office and studio space in Preston (2001–2009).

paragraph: Section::::Awards.

paragraph: Charles Hadcock is a holder of The Queen's Award for Enterprise Promotion, which he was the recipient of on 21 April 2007.

paragraph: Modomnoc

paragraph: St. Modomnóc of Ossory (also "Domnóc")(died c. 550) was an Irish saint and missionary in Osraige who was a disciple of St. David of Wales and a member of the O'Neill royal family. His feast day is February 13.

paragraph: Section::::Life.

paragraph: Modomnoc's name is likely to have been Dominic or Donogh but the Irish saints were so tenderly loved that the words "my", (""mo"") "little" and "dear" were very often added to the names; hence Domnóc's name is often rendered "mo Domnóc" or "Modomnóc". He left Ireland to train for the priesthood and crossed the sea to Wales to study under St. David at Menevia. All those who resided in the community were expected to share in the manual work as well as the study and worship.

paragraph: Section::::Beekeeper.

paragraph: One of the best known stories regarding Saint Modomnoc concerns his work as a beekeeper. Bees were kept both for their honey and the production of mead. Modomnoc was given charge of the bees in a sheltered corner of the monastery garden where he planted the kinds of flowers best loved by the bees. He talked to the bees as he worked among them and they buzzed around his head in clouds as if they were responding. He would walk among the hives in the evening and talk to them, and the bees, for their part, would crowd out to meet him. He was never stung. When the time came for him to return to Ireland, three times the bees followed in great swarm and settled on the mast. St. David perceiving this occurrence to be a good omen allowed Modomnoc to bring the bees to Ireland. When he landed, he set up a church at a place called Bremore, near Balbriggan, in County Dublin, and here he established the bees in a garden just like the one they had in Wales.

paragraph: Modomnoc's talking to his bees is in keeping with an Irish folklore custom of ‘Telling the Bees’ which ensures that the bees not feel any offence due to exclusion from family affairs and so will remain with the hive. It was believed that if one didn’t tell the bees of a wedding, a birth, or a death they would take offence and leave. This same custom forms the basis of John Greenleaf Whittier's poem, "Telling the Bees".

paragraph: After his return home he served God at Tiprat Fachna (Tybroughney), in the western part of the kingdom of Ossory. Modomnoc founded churches at Tulach Min (Knockaneeun/ and at Teampall Molaga, near Kildorrery. "His last and perhaps greatest foundation was situated in Timoleague or Teach Molaga." an abbey still standing (though without a roof) on the County Cork Coast. He is said to have been honoured with the episcopal dignity, about the middle of the 6th century.

paragraph: Andeolus or Andéol was born in Smyrna in the 2nd century. A subdeacon, he was sent by Polycarp, along with Benignus, to evangelize southern Gaul. He went to the Vivarais. Septimius Severus, passing through that region, had him put to death. His head was stabbed with a gladius on May 1, 208, at Bergoiata, a Gallic settlement on a rocky peak over the Rhône River which would be later known as Bourg-Saint-Andéol. The body, thrown into the Rhone, was later found and placed in a sarcophagus by a rich Roman woman, Anycia or Amycia Eucheria Tullia (Blessed Tullie), daughter of senator Eucherius Valerianus (Eucherius of Lyon). His sarcophagus was rediscovered in 1865 during excavations in the St. Polycarp chapel of the eleventh-century church in Bourg-Saint-Andéol (Ardèche).

The couple later returned to Paris in 1875. In 1876, Pierre Prins restores ancient ivories for the Louvre Museum, and went to paint in the countryside on the side of Bas-Meudon, at Île Seguin. His wife, Fanny Claus-Prins, passed away in 1877, at the age of 31.
