paragraph: Giuseppe Canella

paragraph: Giuseppe Canella (28 July 1788 – 11 September 1847), also referred to as Giuseppe Canella the Elder, was an Italian painter.

paragraph: Section::::Biography.

paragraph: Initially trained by his father Giovanni, an architect, fresco painter and set designer, Giuseppe Canella started out producing stage sets and decorating stately homes in Verona and Mantua. His brother, Carlo Canella, was also a painter. It may have been under the influence of Pietro Ronzoni, a landscape painter of international renown active in Verona, that he took up landscape painting. The first views were not produced until 1815, after a short stay in Venice. After making his debut at the Fine Art Exposition at the Brera Academy of 1818, he made a long journey through Spain, the Netherlands and France for study purposes.

paragraph: The set of 13 landscapes shown at the Expositions at the Brera in 1831 proved a great success with the public and critics alike, not least due to the fame achieved in Paris with works exhibited in the Salons, commissions from Louis Philippe of Orleans and the award of a gold medal in 1830. He returned to Milan in 1832 and devoted his energies to urban views characterised by an interest in the events of contemporary life and an atmospheric form of portrayal in evident competition with Giovanni Migliara. Landscape came to predominate as from 1835 with subjects drawn from the Lombard countryside and lakes. The focus on poor and humble aspects of life formed part of the artist’s fundamental naturalism and coincided with a moralistic approach derived from the novelist Alessandro Manzoni. Crucial importance attaches in the artist’s mature period to his trip to Rome and Naples in 1838–39.

paragraph: Among his pupils or painters influenced by Canela were Felice Giuseppe Vertua, Constantino Prinetti, and Giovanni Renica. His son, Giuseppe Canella the Younger (Venice, 1837 - Padoa, 1913), was also a painter.

paragraph: Section::::Works.

paragraph: Among his works are:

paragraph: BULLET::::- "Views of Paris and the Boulevards".

paragraph: BULLET::::- "Cathedral of Milan".

paragraph: BULLET::::- "Harbor at Honfleur".

paragraph: Felipe Clemente de Diego y Gutiérrez

paragraph: Felipe Clemente de Diego y Gutiérrez (1866 - 1945) was a Spanish jurist who was instrumental in rebuilding the Spanish state and its judiciary after the Francoist victory in the Spanish Civil War.

paragraph: Clemente de Diego taught Roman law in Santiago in 1897–99 and civil law in Valladolid, Barcelona and Madrid until 1936. He co-founded the "Revista de derecho privado", later the most significant civil law journal in Spain, in 1913. In 1938, the Franquist regime named him president of the "Tribunal Supremo" (Supreme Court), which post he held until his death.

paragraph: The principal work of Clemente de Diego is the six-volume "Curso elemental de Derecho civil español común y foral" (1920–23). He also engaged in the study of the philosophy of law, promoting the adherence to an ideal of natural law founded on Christian ethics in the practice of law, and denouncing legal formalism as the reason for the perceived crisis of the legal system prior to the civil war.

paragraph: Ebba Bielke

paragraph: Ebba Bielke (1570–1618), was a Swedish baroness convicted of high treason.

paragraph: Section::::Life.

paragraph: She was the daughter of riksråd baron Hogenskild Bielke and Anna Sture. She was thus the paternal granddaughter of Anna Hogenskild, and the maternal granddaughter of Svante Stensson Sture and Martha Leijonhufvud. In 1589, she married the brother-in-law of her uncle, Axel Bielke (d. 1597), the brother of queen Gunilla Bielke.

paragraph: Section::::Life.:Political activity.

paragraph: Her father and brother were followers of Sigismund III Vasa against Charles IX of Sweden in the civil war of the 1590s. After her brother left Sweden in 1599, her father was imprisoned by Charles IX. During his imprisonment, he maintained a correspondence with Ebba Bielke. He gave her the task of keeping him informed about the conspiracies against Charles and collect evidence of conflicts between Charles and the royal council, which she did.

paragraph: In 1605, Hogenskild Bielke was brought to trial for high treason and executed on the evidence of, among other things, his correspondence with his daughter. Ebba Bielke herself was also arrested, judged as an accomplice in the crimes of her father. Her property was confiscated by the crown and she was sentenced to imprisonment.

paragraph: Waldemar Carlsen

paragraph: Waldemar Carlsen (29 February 1880 – 28 August 1966) was a Norwegian novelist, newspaper editor and politician for the Labour and Communist parties.

paragraph: He was born in Kristiania, and moved to Solør at a young age. He was the editor-in-chief of local labour newspaper "Solungen" from 1910 to 1913, and then applied for jobs in other newspapers, such as the editorship in "Demokraten" in June 1913. He did not prevail there, but edited "Fremover" from 1913 to 1916 and "Glomdalens Arbeiderblad" from 1916 to 1925. "Glomdalens Arbeiderblad" became affiliated with the Communist Party in 1923. Carlsen remained in the editor chair until he quit his job in 1925 because he did not receive wages anymore. The newspaper was declared bankrupt in 1926 and disappeared in 1927.

paragraph: He unsuccessfully stood for parliamentary election as the deputy candidate of Fredrik Monsen in the constituency "Hamar og Kongsvinger" in 1918, then as a ballot candidate in the Market towns of Hedmark and Oppland counties in 1921 for Labour and 1924 for the Communists. He was a member of the executive committee of Kongsvinger city council. In the 1930s he was a travelling agitator, and founded many trade unions. He was also active in the temperance movement. He also published several novels, such as "Dragsug" (1910), "Orion" (1911) and "Jernnæven" (1913), and the travelogue "Herjetog i syd og nord" (1919). He spent his last working years as a school janitor in Kongsvinger. He died in 1966.

paragraph: Peter Walker, Baron Walker of Worcester

paragraph: Peter Edward Walker, Baron Walker of Worcester, (25 March 1932 – 23 June 2010) was a British politician. A member of the Conservative Party, he served in the Cabinet as the Environment Secretary (1970–72), Trade and Industry Secretary (1972–74), Agriculture Minister (1979–83), Energy Secretary (1983–87) and Welsh Secretary (1987–90). He was a Member of Parliament (MP) representing the constituency of Worcester from 1961 to 1992. He was made a life peer in 1992.

paragraph: In 1958 he became the youngest to-date National Chairman of the Young Conservatives. Walker was a founder of the Tory Reform Group, and served as Chairman of the Carlton Club.

paragraph: He died in 2010, shortly after his son, Robin Walker, had been elected the Conservative MP for Worcester.

paragraph: Section::::Education.

paragraph: Walker was educated at Latymer Upper School in London. He did not go to college or university.

paragraph: Section::::Parliamentary career.

paragraph: Walker rose through the ranks of the Conservative Party's youth wing, the Young Conservatives. He was a branch chairman at the age of 14, and later National Chairman. He fought the Parliamentary seat of Dartford in the general elections of 1955 and 1959, being beaten each time by Labour's Sydney Irving.

paragraph: Walker was appointed to the Order of the British Empire as a Member (MBE) in the 1960 Birthday Honours for political services. Within four years of his election to Parliament in a by-election in 1961, he had entered the Shadow Cabinet. He later served under Prime Minister Edward Heath as Minister of Housing and Local Government (1970), Secretary of State for the Environment (1970–72), the first person in the world to hold such a position, and Secretary of State for Trade and Industry (1972–74). From late 1974 to February 1975, Walker served as Shadow Defence Secretary. When Margaret Thatcher became the party leader, Walker did not serve in her Shadow Cabinet. But when the party to power in 1979, he returned to the Cabinet as Minister of Agriculture, Fisheries and Food, in 1979. He later served as Secretary of State for Energy (1983–87). Whilst at the Department for Energy he played an important role in the Government's successful opposition to the 1984–85 miners' strike.

paragraph: Walker then served as Secretary of State for Wales between 1987 and 1990. Although the role of Welsh Secretary was ostensibly one of the most junior jobs in the Cabinet, Walker claimed it gave him more influence as it gave access to key economic committees. He stood down from the Cabinet shortly before Thatcher herself was ousted in 1990. Though he had previously been a close ally of Heath's and was generally considered to be on the left of the party, he was nevertheless one of the longest-serving Cabinet members in Thatcher's government. In October 1985, however, he had hit out at Thatcher's reluctance to inject money into the economy in order to ease mass unemployment, speaking of his fears that she could lose the next general election if unemployment did not fall. However, the Tories were re-elected in 1987, by which time unemployment was falling.

paragraph: As noted above, Walker's 1970 appointment as Secretary of State for the Environment was notable in that he became the world's first Environment Minister, and was thus a source of considerable interest at the 1972 Stockholm Conference. The creation of the Department of the Environment came in response to the growing environmental concerns of the 1960s (not least the Torrey Canyon oil spill of 1967), and one of Walker's immediate concerns was to clean up the nation's waterways. The measures put in place have had substantial results for river life. For instance, the Thames was declared biologically dead in 1957 but today many species of fish thrive in the river, including wild salmon and trout.

paragraph: Walker was a determined supporter of the hospice movement, becoming a patron of St Richard's Hospice in Worcester when it was founded in 1984. He campaigned determinedly for greater NHS support for St Richard's and the wider hospice movement, which is staffed largely by dedicated volunteers. During a House of Lords debate in 2000, Lord Walker stated: "Anyone who visits hospices and meets the volunteers—the people running them and guiding them—will recognise their unique spiritual and compassionate contribution to the health service."

paragraph: Upon his retirement from Parliament in 1992, he was appointed a Life peer, as Baron Walker of Worcester, of Abbots Morton in the County of Hereford and Worcester.

paragraph: Section::::Business career.

paragraph: During the 1960s he was the junior partner in Slater Walker, an asset stripping vehicle used by Jim Slater to generate immense paper profits until 1973. An ill-timed attempt to take over Hill Samuel resulted in the loss of city confidence in Slater Walker and Jim Slater became for a time a "minus millionaire". Peter Walker's political career survived and after retirement from politics he returned to the City as Chairman of Kleinwort Benson.

paragraph: Other business positions Walker held included: Chairman of Allianz Insurance plc, Vice Chairman of Dresdner Kleinwort and non-executive director of ITM Power plc.

paragraph: Section::::Personal life.

paragraph: Walker and his wife had five children. His son Robin Walker was elected MP for the Worcester constituency in the general election on 6 May 2010.

paragraph: He died at St Richard's Hospice on 23 June 2010, after suffering from cancer.

text: Ukiyo-e prints at Kabuki21.com

paragraph: Ichikawa Danjūrō V

paragraph: He is depicted in countless "ukiyo-e" actor prints ("yakusha-e"), and unlike many actors who focus on one type of role, Danjūrō excelled at many types of roles, playing heroes, villains, samurai, peasants, and beautiful women with equal skill. One of his most famous roles is that of the hero in "Shibaraku", a scene contained within full plays.

paragraph: Section::::Names.

paragraph: Like most kabuki actors, and many artists, of his time, Danjūrō had a number of names. He was the fifth to be called Ichikawa Danjūrō, and though not the first to be known as Ichikawa Ebizō, he used different kanji (characters) than his predecessors in writing the name. He was a member of the guilds Naritaya and Kōraiya, and could be referred to by these names (see "yagō"). Other names he used on stage include Ichikawa Hakuen I, Matsumoto Kōshirō III, Matsumoto Kōzō, Matsumoto Umimaru, and Naritaya Shichizaemon (I). In poetry circles, he often used the names Baidō, Omegawa, Sanshō, and Hakuen.

paragraph: Section::::Lineage.

paragraph: He was the fifth in the line of Ichikawa Danjūrō, his father, grandfather, and great-grandfather being the fourth, second, and first in the line respectively (his father and grandfather were also known as Ebizō II and III). He had a son, named Momotarō, who died at a very young age, but Danjūrō also adopted a son who would succeed him and become Ichikawa Danjūrō VI. Danjūrō VII and IX were his grandsons.

paragraph: Section::::Life and career.

paragraph: The actor who would later be known as Ichikawa Danjūrō V was born in Edo (now Tokyo) in August 1741, and appeared on stage for the first time at the age of four. His first role in a play was in 1754, at the age of thirteen, in "Miura no Ōsuke Bumon no Kotobuki" at the Nakamura-za in Edo. Until 1770, his stage name was Matsumoto Kōshirō (III).

paragraph: In 1760, the Nakamura-za and Ichimura-za theaters were destroyed by a fire, called the Akashiya fire after the shop where it began, which claimed a fair portion of the city as well. Kōshirō aided in the reconstruction of the theaters, and performed at the Ichimura-za the following month. Like all Kabuki actors, Kōshirō would devote his life almost exclusively to the theater. By the age of 29, he had performed in at least 35 plays, quite possibly many more. In November 1770, Kōshirō, aged 29, took part in a grand naming ceremony (襲名, "shūmei") at the Nakamura-za and took the name Ichikawa Danjūrō. This was followed by a performance of "Nue no Mori Ichiyō no Mato", in which Danjūrō would perform the lead role of "Shibaraku" for the first time. This role was nearly always played by a member of the Ichikawa Danjūrō line, and it would become one of Danjūrō V's most famous roles.

paragraph: The following year, Danjūrō became the head (座頭, "zagashira") of the Morita-za troupe and left the Nakamura-za, where his father still performed. He would return to the Nakamura-za in 1773, but left it again the following year along with a number of other actors, returning once more to the Morita-za. Danjūrō's son Momotarō, born in 1768, died in 1776 at the age of eight. Danjūrō began performing at the Ichimura-za, leaving the Morita-za again. At this point, according to the book "Yakusha Sensakuron" (役者詮索論, "About Actors Prying"), he was living in the town of Sakai in Sumiyoshi district, and earning 800 "ryō" a year.

paragraph: August 1778 marks another major event in Danjūrō's life, and in the kabuki world as a whole. As a result of Danjūrō's growing influence among patrons and within other elements of the kabuki world had created enmities among a number of other actors. Accused of misappropriation of funds, Danjūrō was forced to give up his name to another actor, Matsumoto Kōshirō IV, and to take on the name Ichikawa Ebizō for himself. After showing his anger on stage, and accusing Matsumoto Kōshirō IV and Iwai Hanshirō IV in public of plotting against him, Danjūrō was forced to leave the stage for a time. Though he returned to performing three months later at the Morita-za, Danjūrō would not return to the Nakamura-za for a full year. In November 1779, he did so and became troupe head ("zagashira"). Seven years later, Kōshirō IV would join Danjūrō in performing at the Kiri-za, and reconcile the dispute.

paragraph: Danjūrō formally took on the name Ebizō at a ceremony at the Ichimura-za in 1791. However, in writing "Ebizō" he chose different kanji (characters) from those used by his father and grandfather. Ebizō had formerly been written as "海老蔵", but the new Ebizō would instead use "鰕蔵". Five years later, Ebizō announced his retirement; he was 55. He took on the name Naritaya Shichiemon and moved to a small hut on the tiny island of Ujishima, near Mukōjima. The following month, the "hyōbanki" would give his rank as "sanga no tsu murui-dai-shigoku-jô-jô-kichi-murui" (山河の津無類大至極上々吉無類, "Unequaled in the Three Capitals - grand - exceedingly - superior - superior - excellent).

paragraph: He returned to the stage shortly after the death of his adopted son, Ichikawa Danjūrō VI, in 1799, taking on the name Ichikawa Hakuen. His definitively final performance, after countless performances in an incredible variety of roles and at a number of theaters, would be in March 1802, at the Kawarazaki-za. Ichikawa Hakuen died in October 1806, in his small hut on Mukōjima.

paragraph: He had many disciples, including Matsumoto Kōshirō IV, Ichikawa Omezō I, Ichikawa Tatsuzō I (Hanai Saizaburō IV), Ichikawa Mitsuzō (Nakamura Matsue II), Ichikawa Takizō, Ichikawa Hamazō, Ichikawa Tomiemon, and Ichikawa Kosanza.

The latter is mainly shown at Fasanerie Palace in Eichenzell, Hesse, a former summer palace of the Prince Abbots of Fulda that had been taken over by the Landgraves of Hesse after the secularization and mediatisation of the Prince-bishopric of Fulda in 1803. Schlosshotel Kronberg and Grandhotel Hessischer Hof in Frankfurt are hotels, the "Weingut Prinz von Hessen" a winery in Johannisberg which was purchased in 1957, while Schloß Wolfsgarten south of Frankfurt am Main and Panker estate are used as private seats of the family. Other castles have been sold, such as Schloss Philippsruhe in Hanau (in 1950), Schloss Rumpenheim in Offenbach am Main (in 1965) and Tarasp Castle in Switzerland (in 2016).

paragraph: Ismail III

paragraph: Abu Torab (), better known by his dynastic name of Ismail III (), was a Safavid prince, who reigned as a figurehead under the authority of Ali Mardan Khan Bakhtiari briefly from 1750 to 1751, and then under the Zand ruler Karim Khan Zand from 1751 till his death in 1773.

paragraph: Section::::Biography.

paragraph: Abu Torab's father was Mirza Morteza, who was a former court official, and his mother was a daughter of the former Safavid king (shah) Sultan Husayn (r. 1694-1722).

paragraph: On May 1750, the Chahar Lang chieftain Ali Mardan Khan Bakhtiari and the Zand chieftain Karim Khan stormed the gates of Isfahan—its governor Abu'l-Fath Khan Bakhtiari and other prominent residents assembled to protect the fortress of the city, but agreed to surrender and collaborate with them after Ali Mardan's reasonable proposals. Abu'l-Fath, together with Ali Mardan and Karim Khan, formed an alliance in western Iran under the cover of restoring the Safavid dynasty, appointing the 17 year old Abu Torab as a puppet ruler—on June 29, Abu Torab was declared shah, and assumed the dynastic name of Ismail III.

paragraph: Ali Mardan then took the title of "Vakil-e daulat" ("deputy of the state") as the head of the administration, while Abu'l-Fath maintained his post as governor of Isfahan, and Karim Khan was appointed commander ("sardar") of the army, and was given the task of conquering the rest of Iran. Ali Mardan eventually broke the alliance by killing Abu'l-Fath and extracting heavy tax on the inhabitants.

paragraph: In January 1751, Karim Khan returned to Isfahan and restored order in the city. A battle shortly occurred between him and Ali Mardan in Luristan—during the battle, Ismail III and Zakariya Khan (who was now his "vizier"), together with several prominent officers, deserted Ali Mardan and joined Karim Khan, who eventually emerged victorious, forcing Ali Mardan and the remains of his men, together with the governor of Luristan, Ismail Khan Feyli, to retreat to Khuzestan. After Karim Khan's accession as "vakil" (regent) in the same year, Ismail was kept in safe custody at the stronghold of Abadeh, where lived till his death, in 1773.
