paragraph: Peter the Athonite

paragraph: Peter the Athonite (d. before 883) is reputed to have been the first hermit to settle upon the Mount Athos. Peter is known to history primarily through unattributable legend. It is recorded that Peter was once a soldier who, through the miraculous aid of St. Nicholas and St. Simeon the Righteous, was freed from a Muslim military prison. From prison St. Peter traveled to Rome to fulfill a promise to God that he would take the monastic habit. It is held that Peter received his habit from the Pope himself who also formed the saint in monastic discipline. Receiving a vision of the Blessed Virgin and Theotokos Mary, Peter travelled to Mt. Athos and there lived for some fifty years.

paragraph: Saint Peter of Mount Athos is commemorated on 12 June in Eastern Orthodox, Eastern Catholic and Roman Catholic Churches.

paragraph: Donald W. Reynolds

paragraph: Donald Worthington Reynolds (September 23, 1906 – April 2, 1993) was an American businessman and philanthropist. During his lifetime, he was known for his involvement in the Donrey Media Group.

paragraph: Section::::Biography.

paragraph: Reynolds was the son of Gaines W. Reynolds, a wholesale grocery salesman, and his wife, Anna Louise. He grew up in Oklahoma City, Oklahoma and got his first job in the newspaper business selling papers at the local railroad station.

paragraph: In high school, Reynolds decided he wanted to attend the University of Missouri's Missouri School of Journalism, and he worked during high school and successive summers at a meat packing plant to pay for his studies. While at the University of Missouri, he was initiated into Pi Kappa Alpha. He graduated in 1927.

paragraph: Reynolds' first business venture was a photo engraving plant. He then purchased and sold the "Quincy Evening News" in Massachusetts, using the proceeds from that sale to buy the "Okmulgee Daily Times" in Oklahoma and the "Southwest Times Record" in Arkansas. Those two papers launched the Donrey Media Group. Operating mostly in small towns, the group grew to include more than 100 businesses, including newspapers, radio stations, television stations, cable television operations, and billboard companies. Perhaps his biggest success came with the ownership of the "Las Vegas Review-Journal", the largest newspaper in Nevada.

paragraph: Reynolds interrupted his newspaper career to serve in the military during World War II, initially in military intelligence and, later, as the officer in charge of the Pacific and London editions of the "soldiers' newspaper, "Yank, the Army Weekly". He attained the rank of Major, received the Legion of Merit, Purple Heart and Bronze Star Medal during his military service, and returned to civilian status in 1945.

paragraph: He focused his business acumen on businesses located in small but growth-oriented communities, and these communities often were the recipients of the Foundation's earliest charitable grants.

paragraph: Reynolds died on April 2, 1993, on a cruise ship, on the Mediterranean Sea, at the age of 86. A large sum of money from his business ventures went to the Donald W. Reynolds Foundation. There are currently a number of buildings named for Reynolds, including:

paragraph: Reynolds left three children on his death: Nancy, Donald and Jonathan. "Forbes Magazine" notes that Reynolds's three children will receive trust income of $50,000 a year for life, but will be left only $1 if they unsuccessfully contest his will. The bulk of the Estate was left to The Donald W Reynolds Foundation.

paragraph: The Donald W. Reynolds Foundation continues his lengthy legacy of charitable giving with funding programs for capital grants, aging and quality of life, cardiovascular clinical research, and journalism.

paragraph: In accordance with its articles of incorporation, the Donald W. Reynolds Foundation is designated to terminate rather than continue in perpetuity. Its board of trustees has determined that the foundation will cease to make grants on or before 2022.

paragraph: Masaki Sumitani

paragraph: Section::::Early life.

paragraph: Masaki Sumitani was born December 18, 1975 in Harima, Hyōgo Prefecture, Japan. After graduating from Hyogo Prefectural Kakogawa Higashi High School, he entered Doshisha University and majored in Commerce.

paragraph: Section::::Professional wrestling career.

paragraph: While at college he picked up wrestling as a hobby and soon joined the Doshisha Professional Wrestling Alliance (DWA). Under his performing name "GiveUp Sumitani", he won the heavy class Kyoto pro-wrestling championship co-hosted by DWA and the Ritsumeikan Wrestling Alliance (RWA) of nearby Ritsumeikan University in Kyoto. Former IWGP Champion Hiroshi Tanahashi and fellow comedian Makoto Izubuchi were also participant of these events.

paragraph: Sumitani continued his pro-wrestling aspirations in late 2005, working in the comedically off-beat HUSTLE promotion and defeating Yinling the Erotic Terrorist in his debut match; he has since gone to team with Naoya Ogawa and Yoshihiro Tajiri in leading the HUSTLE Army against Generalissimo Takada’s Monster Army.

paragraph: In early 2006, he started working with manzai partner Izubuchi again, with Izubuchi taking the name Razor Ramon RG ("RG" meaning "Real Gay"). Izubuchi's character was not nearly as well received as Sumitani's, but is still an active pro-wrestler in HUSTLE, recently teaming up with The Great Muta. Sumitani's character is that of an underdog face that has a never say die attitude and uses his quickness to defeat his larger opponents. "Daily Sports" in Japan reported that Razor Ramon HG retired from pro wrestling after Hustle Mania, which took place November 23, 2006 at Yokohama Arena with Sumitani being defeated by The Esperanza. However, as with most retirements in pro-wrestling, Sumitani returned to action, pro wrestling at Hustle 21 on March 18 and Hustle 22 on April 21.

paragraph: Hard Gay rose up to become one of the top faces of the HUSTLE promotion, but his pro wrestling career came to an abrupt end in July 2009 when he shattered his left foot while diving from the ring during an event at Korakuen Hall. He needed 12 bolts to put his foot back together. Upon his recovery, he hoped to return to TV comedy.

paragraph: Section::::Comedy.

paragraph: It was through pro wrestling in their college years, that Sumitani met Makoto Izubuchi, with whom he would later form the comedy duo "Razor Ramon", the name inspired by the character portrayed by professional wrestler Scott Hall, which debuted in the WWF (WWE) in 1992. During their college years, Razor Ramon won the Fukuwarai award in the Imamiya Kids’ Ebisu Manzai Contest and gained experience on the stage through the audition live performance SABUKI at 2chome-gekijo, an Osaka comedy club opened by the Yoshimoto Kogyo comedy troupe at which many comedians from the Kansai area start their career.

paragraph: After completing his degree at the prestigious Doshisha University, Sumitani got a job at CO-OP KOBE, as a grocery delivery man. His desire to pursue a career as a professional comedian led him to quit his job after four months, when he joined Yoshimoto Kogyo with his partner Makoto Izubuchi. Razor Ramon made their TV debut in 1999 and won the Judges Special Award in the ABC Owarai (Comedy) Grand-Prix in 2000. Both Sumitani and Izubuchi joined the Yoshimoto Kogyo-produced program Yoshimoto Shin-kigeki in 2001, often playing yakuza, salaryman, udon restaurant owners, construction workers, and others.

paragraph: Section::::Comedy.:Hard Gay.

paragraph: A character (introduced in 2002) developed and portrayed by Sumitani is . The term "Hādo Gei" is a Japanese reference to American gay subculture in similar fashion to "punk". In Japan, gender subculture with distinct dress style are in fact transgender or drag, which in Japan is referred to as "Gei ゲイ". In turn, the term "hard gay" became the reference to more masculine oriented "drag" seen to be prevalent in America. The fact that Hard Gay does not portray any Japanese gay subculture also explains why the sketch was allowed to be aired on Japanese TV, which has its own code of political correctness.

paragraph: The official name is Razor Ramon HG. Dressing in a tight black PVC gay fetish outfit, he performed acts of charity ("yonaoshi", “social improvement”) for unsuspecting bystanders while performing trademark pelvic thrusts and vocalizations, often accompanied by "Livin' la Vida Loca" by Ricky Martin.

paragraph: According to some accounts, the name "Hard Gay" was the suggestion of Sumitani's senior comedian in the Yoshimoto Kogyo group, Kendo Kobayashi, in reference to his hard dancing. The name has also been described as a pun on 芸, "gei", which means "skill" or "art." However, to develop his character, Sumitani visited gay bars in Doyama-cho, Osaka’s biggest gay area, and his costume, which consists of hot pants, a small vest, and cap, all in black PVC, along with aviator sunglasses, was purchased at a shop called VFTQ in Minami-Horie, Osaka, which specializes in gay fashion. Hard Gay makes regular use of a number of catchphrases in his act; he usually makes his entrance in front of the camera shouting ""Dōmō Haadogei desu"" ("Hello, it's Hard Gay"), with arms thrust out and a spin afterwards. His self-introduction is then followed by his dance moves. He often shouts ""Hoooooo"" (フゥ～!) or ""Foohhhh!"" (フォー！), a running joke in his performances. He often stops people saying unfavorable things to him by shouting ""Sei sei sei sei sei"" with his palm in front of the person's face. Whether this means anything is debatable, although Sumitani has commented that ""sei sei"" is something that comes out from his mouth when he is not happy, and that he does not mean "" as in to speak something, although one might compare this action to the "talk to the hand" gesture. A possible interpretation might be that the origin lies in the word "urusai" (lit. "noisy," meaning "Be quiet!"), which is often pronounced "urusē" うるせー in Kansai dialect, shortened to "sei". Another theory is the word "sei" written by kanji 静, meaning "quiet." Also, "sei" 性, means "sex" or "gender" in Japanese.

paragraph: Sumitani's supposed homosexuality was exposed as a gimmick when he was caught in the midst of a date with Japanese actress and swimsuit model Anna Suzuki, whom he has since married. He has been criticised for his stereotypical depiction of gay men and for building a career on using bizarre and extreme antics to "parody" a social minority. A spokesperson for the Hokkaido Sexual Minority Association Sapporo Meeting, a support group for gay, lesbian and transgender people, has said: "Hard Gay’s acceptance by the Japanese public shows me that there is a strong tendency here to see homosexuality as something to be laughed at. That is sad."

paragraph: He then announced that he would start to reappear on television as Masaki Sumitani instead of Razor Ramon HG. His first reappearance as Masaki Sumitani was April 18, 2008 in a theatrical production of the jidaigeki take, "HAKANA".

paragraph: Prior to his transition back to television comedy, Sumitani revealed that during his hiatus between his career ending wrestling injury and his impending TV return that he has fallen on hard times and has been making the equivalent of $70 USD a month. He is planning to reinvent himself because he does not want to go down in Japanese television history as a "one hit wonder". Whether this entails a new "neta" (comic hook) for his HG character or a brand new character altogether for Sumitani remains to be seen.

paragraph: Sumitani once reprised his role as Hard Gay for a teaser for the video game "Devil's Third". Unlike his early appearances, he wears a suit but retains his signature cap and glasses.

paragraph: Section::::Other media.

paragraph: Razor Ramon HG made a small cameo in the May 2006 chapter of "Gantz" (chapter 233), shown on a television in Kurono Kei's apartment. He also made a small cameo in episode 12 of "The Melancholy of Haruhi Suzumiya", at 2:29, with Akihiro Miwa. A picture of him is shown in Ğ. In addition, a reference to Razor Ramon HG is made in Chapter 2 of the manga "Asu no Yoichi", with a character attempting to silence someone much like HG would with "Sei!"

paragraph: Sumitani released his first single entitled "Young Man" on 8 February 2006, which is a Japanese rendition of the Village People’s song "YMCA."

paragraph: He has also appeared in several television programs. HG (as himself) portrayed a gym teacher in the high school episode of the "batsu" game series from the Japanese variety show "Gaki no Tsukai". He also did a cameo on the set of "Hana Yori Dango". Razor Ramon was a contestant on "", even making it to the final and finished in 2nd place. He was featured on "The Soup"’s "Souper Fantastic Ultra Wish Time." He was featured on "Lost in Tokyo", a Dutch and Flemish game show. He has also appeared in multiple episodes of Jonathan Ross' "Japanorama" on the BBC. In May 2009, He made an appearance in the comical Drama, "Atashinchi no Danshi", where his character was in love with one of the male characters named Fuu. There were repeated shoots of his catch phrase "Fuuuu!" while he walked round the family house in search of Fuu. In 2016, Sumitani appeared in "", voice acting as the character George Shimaki.

paragraph: Hard Gay, dressed differently, makes a cameo as a construction worker in the game "Freshly-Picked Tingle's Rosy Rupeeland". After he fixes one of the bridges for Tingle, he proceeds to do his trademark pelvic thrusts while a smooth jazz style song plays in the background.

paragraph: Once again dressed in his wrestling outfit, Sumitani makes a cameo as Hard Gay in the 2016 Netflix drama . In this appearance, he takes part in the same comedy television show as the main character.

paragraph: Seeking to shed his former image and strike out on his own, he's turned to modeling. He is now the new male face for boots retailer Luan.

paragraph: Section::::Personal life.

paragraph: The registration of his marriage to Anna Suzuki was announced on August 10, 2006. Suzuki has stated she will end her modeling career after her commitments are finished and concentrate on starting a family. The two officially became married on November 27, 2006, only four days after his supposed retirement. The couple had their first child in 2008.

paragraph: Arthur Brisbane

paragraph: Arthur Brisbane (December 12, 1864 – December 25, 1936) was one of the best known American newspaper editors of the 20th century as well as a real estate investor. He was also a speech writer, orator, and public relations professional who coached many famous businesspeople of his time in the field of public relations, particularly Henry Ford, Thomas Edison and John D. Rockefeller.

paragraph: Section::::Biography.

paragraph: Brisbane was born in Buffalo, New York to Albert Brisbane (1809-1890), an American utopian socialist who is remembered as the chief popularizer of the theories of Charles Fourier in the United States. Albert was the author of several books, notably "Social Destiny of Man" (1840), as well as the Fourierist periodical "The Phalanx". He also founded the Fourierist Society in New York in 1839 and backed several other phalanx communes in the 1840s and 1850s.

paragraph: Arthur was educated in the United States and Europe.

paragraph: Section::::Career.

paragraph: In 1882, he began work as a newspaper reporter and editor in New York City, first at the "Sun" and later Joseph Pulitzer's "New York World". Hired away from Pulitzer by William Randolph Hearst, he became editor of the "New York Journal" and Hearst's close friend. His syndicated editorial column had an estimated daily readership of over 20 million, according to "Time" magazine.

paragraph: In 1897, he accepted the editorship of the "Evening Journal", flagship of the Hearst chain, and through it gained influence unmatched by any editor in the United States. His direct and forceful style influenced the form of American editorial and news writing. The saying, "If you don't hit the reader between the eyes in your first sentence of your news column, there's no need to write any more," is attributed to him.

paragraph: Hearst biographer W. A. Swanberg describes Brisbane as "a one-time socialist who had drifted pleasantly into the profit system... in some respects a vest-pocket Hearst -- a personal enigma, a workhorse, a madman for circulation, a liberal who had grown conservative, an investor."

paragraph: While an employee of Hearst—at one point boasting of making $260,000 in a year—Brisbane also was known for buying failing newspapers, re-organizing them, and selling them to Hearst. He bought "The Washington Times" and the "Milwaukee Evening Wisconsin" in 1918 and sold both to Hearst 15 months later. He later bought the "Detroit Times" on behalf of Hearst.

paragraph: In 1918, he became editor of the "Chicago Herald and Examiner", and in the 1920s became editor of Hearst's first tabloid, the "New York Mirror". He remained part of the Hearst media empire until his death in 1936. His daughter Sarah married one of his "Daily Mirror" employees, Tex McCrary, who later became a radio-TV personality with second wife Jinx Falkenburg.

paragraph: A 1926 "Time" magazine cover story described his influence like this:

paragraph: The New York American, the Chicago Herald-Examiner, the San Francisco Examiner and many another newspaper owned by Publisher Hearst, to say nothing of some 200 non-Hearst dailies and 800 country weeklies which buy syndicated Brisbane, all publish what Mr. Brisbane has said. His column is headed, with simple finality, "Today," a column that vies with the weather and market reports for the size of its audience, probably beating both. It is said to be read by a third of the total U. S. population. Obviously this is an exaggeration, but half that many would be some 20 million readers, "Today" and every day.

paragraph: Several volumes of Brisbane's editorials were published, including "The Book of Today," "The Book of Today and the Future Day," and "The Brisbane advertising philosophy." At the time of his death, he was considered the "virtual executive director" of the Hearst news and media empire.

paragraph: From 1924 until 1935, artist Mel Cummin "originated and drew many of the big, eight-column cartoons" for Brisbane's editorials in the "New York Sunday American", the "New York Evening Journal" and occasionally "The Mirror". Cummin, a well-known member of the Explorer's Club, called Brisbane "a well-informed naturalist," and said the two collaborators discussed the subject of naturalism frequently.

paragraph: Section::::Real Estate.

paragraph: With Hearst, he formed Hearst-Brisbane Properties, investing heavily in New York real estate. He was instrumental in preserving a large section of land he had amassed in central New Jersey along the Jersey Shore between 1907 and 1936. It was here that Brisbane built his dream house, a palatial mansion for its time, adjacent to a lake, and complete with a library tower. It was also here that Brisbane and his family could enjoy their favorite sport – horse-back riding. Brisbane transformed the Allaire area from a near deserted village to a luxurious country estate, complete with a state-of-the-art horse farm, "Allaire Inn," toy factory, a camp for Boy Scouts, and training grounds during the war years. He used his professional connections to bring silent film companies to his property at Allaire, which was used as a backdrop. He even opened up his estate during the Great Depression to "New Deal" work programs. Brisbane and his family realized enjoyment at Allaire and considered it his final abode. He employed a large staff to take care of his property at Allaire, which at one time was boasted to occupy . The actual count was closer to .

paragraph: Brisbane eventually began to explore the history of his property at Allaire and became aware in the 1920s of its great historic significance. His Allaire property was formerly James P. Allaire's "Howell Iron Works Company," a thriving iron-making industrial village of the early 19th century. As early as 1925, Brisbane sought to preserve this property, with its vast natural resources and 19th century era village buildings. Although not completed before his death, it was left to his wife, Phoebe Cary Brisbane and her immediate family to fulfill Arthur Brisbane's wishes of donating nearly to the State of New Jersey by 1944, including James P. Allaire's 19th century industrial village. The deed of gift contained stipulations that it was to be used for historic and forest reservation purposes, and for nothing else. Moreover, the Brisbane family home served as the Arthur Brisbane Child Treatment Center until its recent closure in 2005.

paragraph: Today, the original Brisbane gift of land, , forms the heart of Allaire State Park. And its historic village is dedicated to portraying the life and times of James P. Allaire's "Howell Iron Works Company" largely through the non-profit educational organization, Allaire Village Inc. Efforts were pushed forward at the Historic Village at Allaire in 2006 by Allaire historian Hance M. Sitkus to better interpret Brisbane's career, family, and generosity, focusing on Brisbane as an often-overlooked humanitarian and philanthropist.

paragraph: Section::::Personal life.

paragraph: Brisbane was married to Phoebe Cary (1890–1967), with whom he had six children:

paragraph: Louis-Pierre Bougie

paragraph: Louis-Pierre Bougie (born August 16, 1946) is a Canadian painter and printmaker specialized in engraving and etching. He developed his knowledge of intaglio techniques at Atelier Lacourière-Frélaut in Paris, where he worked for fifteen years, and through travel and study in France, Portugal, Poland, Ireland, Finland, and New York. His work is regularly shown in Canadian, American, and European galleries, and is represented in major public and private collections, notably in Québec and New York. Bougie is considered Québec's foremost engraver for the depth and consistency of his work.

paragraph: Section::::Training.

paragraph: After an introduction to printmaking at École des Beaux-Arts de Montréal, where he attended classes with Angèle Beaudry, Louis-Pierre Bougie studied in Paris, notably at Lacourière-Frélaut (1979–1993), Atelier Rene Tazé, and Atelier Champfleury, and in Vancouver and Montréal. Additional training in Strasbourg (1979–1982), Cracow (1980), Helsinki (2003), and Buenos Aires (2006) introduced him to a compagnonnage-like approach to the transmission of printmaking skills.

paragraph: Section::::Work.

paragraph: In recent years, Louis-Pierre Bougie has produced a considerable body of engraved and painted works that apply traditional techniques such as burin, aquatint, and chine collé to contemporary printmaking. An heir to Goya, Blake, and Rops, he has developed an original monotype technique that combines engraving with live figure drawing in a reversal of traditional processes: the paper is first drawn with pierre noir and reworked with acrylic before receiving a print from a copper plate marked with spit-bite and drypoint. The finished print captures all elements with exceptional transparency, bringing its subject to light in the true sense of illumination. In Bougie's work, engraving is a process that both opens and seals spaces. Desire and imagination inhabit matter in unexpected ways, and appearance is literally cast in a different light (through highlights and illumination), giving us back a bit of ourselves.

paragraph: Section::::Influence and involvement.

paragraph: In the early 1980s, while also conducting residencies at major printmaking studios abroad (including Paris and Strasbourg), Bougie joined forces with Catherine Farish, Pierre-Léon Tétreault, Kittie Bruneau, and other print-based artists to found Atelier Circulaire. Throughout his career, he has promoted the work of Quebec printmakers both locally and outside Canada. He has also collaborated closely with writers and poets. In 1983, the poets Gaston Miron and Michael La Chance together signed a telegram to Bougie:

paragraph: As an engraver and etcher of international renown, he has brought greater visibility to Québec printmaking and has been pivotal in inviting printmakers from abroad to take part in major collaborations with Québec, including artist's books, residencies, and exchanges between Québec and other countries. He has also helped foster talent in Québec, both through his work with artists at Atelier Circulaire and as the organizer and curator of numerous exhibitions.

paragraph: Section::::Selected exhibitions.

paragraph: Bougie's work has benefited from the support of major curators such as Léo Rosshandler, Bernard Lévy, Céline Mayrand, Gilles Daigneault, Claude Morissette, and Anne-Marie Ninacs. An encounter with this body of work offers insight into the complicities that mark our experience of certain locations and artistic creations.

paragraph: Section::::Artist's books.

paragraph: A significant part of Louis-Pierre Bougie's printed oeuvre involves a dialogue with poetry in the form of collaborative exhibitions and, above all, artist's books that bring together the artistry of typographers, printmakers, poets, and bookbinders. Bougie has created books with many poets, among them Gaston Miron, Paul Chamberland, Geneviève Letarte, Jérôme Élie, Michel Butor, Michel van Schendel, François-Xavier Marange, Paule Marier, and Michaël La Chance. Working closely with the authors, he contributes a distinctive sensibility that is both rough and sensitive, abrasive and idyllic. His artist's books were featured in the following exhibitions:

paragraph: Johann Dietrich von Hülsen

paragraph: Johann Dietrich von Hülsen (1 June 1693–29 May 1767) was a Prussian lieutenant general of the infantry. After a lifelong officer's career in various infantry regiments, he acquired the special respect of Frederick II in the Seven Years' War as general, and was honored by him with the appointment as governor of Berlin. During the war, he became a canon to Minden and was awarded the Black Eagle Order and the Order Pour le Mérite. His name appears on the top tier of the Equestrian statue of Frederick the Great.

paragraph: Section::::Family.

paragraph: Hülsen was a son of Johann Friedrich von Hülsen and Rosine Baroness von Königsegg and grew up in the rural surroundings of Rastenburg. He was born on 1 June 1693 in Babaziens. In Fall 1739, he married the twice-widowed Sophie Elisabeth von Kunheim. Their marriage was childless.

paragraph: Section::::Military career.

paragraph: Hülsen's military career modeled that of other Junker sons. Many of the Junkers owned immense estates, especially in the north-eastern half of Germany (i.e., the Prussian provinces of Brandenburg, Pomerania, Silesia, West Prussia, East Prussia and Posen). Their younger sons followed careers as soldiers ("Fahnenjunker"); consequently, the Junkers controlled the Prussian Army.

paragraph: At the age of seventeen, Hülsen entered the Prussian Infantry Regiment No. 2 under the command of Lieutenant General Otto Magnus von Doenhoff, became a "Fahnrich" (cadet) on 8 June 1715, and took part in the Pomerania campaign of the Great Northern War in the same year. In 1721, the regiment was stationed between Insterburg and Rastenburg. Hülsen was promoted to second lieutenant on 1 August 1722, and on 13 July 1728, to first lieutenant. His length of time as a lieutenant, 15 years, were a consequence of his lack of education and polish. Throughout his career, his manners remained rough and his profanity was legendary.

paragraph: In the War of the Polish Succession, his regiment, now under the command of Field Marshall Erhard Ernst von Röder, moved to Magdeburg, and subsequently to Heidelberg, with Prince Eugene of Savoy. After the winter camp in the Münsterland, the campaign was carried out without success in 1735, and finally the regiment retreated. In Halberstadt, Hülsen was promoted to the staff captain on the occasion of a troop-show before Frederick William I; in April 1738, back in East Prussia, he was promoted to captain, and received his own company.

paragraph: Section::::Military career.:Wars with Austria.

paragraph: In July 1740, Hülsen was placed as a major in the newly-formed 36th Infantry Regiment under Major General Gustav Bogislaus von Münchow, where he remained for sixteen years. In March 1741, the regiment was deployed in Silesia, later under Reichsgeneralfeldmarschall Leopold I of Anhalt-Dessau during the Siege of Cosel. After the war, it was stationed in Brandenburg, where Hülsen was promoted to lieutenant colonel on 11 July 1743. In the course of the Second Silesian War, the regiment took part in numerous battles and captured the occupied Cosel on 5 September 1745; subsequently Hülsen was promoted to colonel on 9 November.

paragraph: In the following peace years, Hülsen emerged above all as a good instructor. On 8 September 1754, now as major general, he was awarded the order Pour le Mérite. After the death of his predecessor, Lieutenant General Asmus Ehrenreich von Bredow, he was appointed Proprietary colonel of the 21st Infantry Regiment on 25 February 1756, which was stationed in Halberstadt and Quedlinburg. He also received an annual pension of 500 thalers.

paragraph: Section::::Military career.:Seven Years' War.

paragraph: As an army commander, during the Seven Years' War, he emerged as one of Frederick's most capable generals. In the Battle of Lobositz, his regiment suffered heavy losses, but Frederick II praised Hülsen for his bravery: indeed, at least one historian attributed Hülsen's success at Kolin to his hard-headed fighting. Hülsen, "not much troubled with either imagination or intelligence, was as brave a battle captain as his [Frederick's] army possessed." Hülsen commanded the leading element of Frederick's task force, while his named regiment was fighting under Lieutenant General Joachim Christian von Tresckow. His mission at Kolin was to march along a high road paralleling the Austrian front; after he reached the village of Křečhoř, he was to shift right, clear the heights behind the village and take position facing west, against what Frederick presumed would be the exposed Austrian flank. The complexity of the battle orders, and the conditions of terrain made the execution of Frederick's wishes difficult; Hülsen's troops did not actually advance until mid-afternoon. With these troops, and further support, he managed to take a decisive step in the late afternoon and defend the line until the night. In his writings on the history of the war, Frederick II expressly praised Hülsen's zeal in this battle: certainly, Hülsen's deliberate advance in the afternoon and his stubborn defense of his position into the late afternoon made it possible for him to cover the Prussian retreat; this, as much as Frederick's paucity of generals, warranted Hülsen's promotion to lieutenant general on 6 March 1758.

paragraph: In the Battle of Kay, Hülsen suffered bloody losses and he himself was later wounded in the subsequent Battle of Kunersdorf. In the Battle of Maxen, he did not arrive in time to support Friedrich August von Finck. On 20 August 1760, he was able to defend himself against a hostile uprising with 12,000 men in the Battle of Strehla, whereupon the King gave him 1500 thalers, and wrote: "I congratulate you [...] [Please extend to ] Officers of your subordinate Corps [...] My most gracious Compliments."

paragraph: When, in the same year, Austrians and Russians attempted to take Berlin, Hülsen moved to Beelitz and at the Halleschen Gate, Hülsen was able to defend the city against the cavalry of the Russian general Gottlob Heinrich von Tottleben; this defense ultimately prevented the Russian occupation of Berlin. Soon afterwards he returned to Saxony, where Hülsen commanded large parts of the infantry on 3 November 1760 in the Battle of Torgau. His command of the second column at Torgau was due, to some extent, on the army's increasing dearth of senior officers more than to his own gifts, but he was the perfect commander for what ensued. After three unsuccessful and costly attacks, Hülsen gathered the survivors for one more attempt. His own horses had all been killed and a foot wound precluded his walking, so he mounted a cannon and commanded the men to pull him up the hill. The drummers beat the charge, and the Prussians followed Hülsen up the slope. Simultaneously, but without coordination, hussars commanded by General of Cavalry Hans Joachim von Zieten mounted a parallel attack in the next sector. The attack was successful and secured the Prussian victory.

paragraph: In the following year, under Prince Henry of Prussia, Hülsen was entrusted with the defense of occupied Saxony, and was appointed commander-in-chief on 21 April, when the prince was removed to Silesia. At this point, the memory of the old general evidently diminished, for the king gave him a major general to assist his command. On 29 October 1762 at the Battle of Freiberg, the last great battle of the Seven Years' War, he could not participate as planned, since his replacement had not yet arrived, but he advanced to Pretzschendorf after the battle.

paragraph: Section::::Post-war assignments and death.

paragraph: After the war, Hülsen was honored by Frederick II with the post of governor of Berlin on 23 August 1763, and in 1766 was charged with a court investigation against the financial councilor Erhard Ursinus. In October, he fell ill and died on 29 May 1767 in Berlin. He was buried in the garrison church on 1 June.

paragraph: In 1851, Hülsen was included on the Equestrian statue of Frederick the Great as one of Frederick's principal generals.

paragraph: Colton Greene

paragraph: Colton Greene (July 7, 1833 – September 23, 1900) was an American businessman and soldier. He served as a Confederate general during the American Civil War, mostly leading cavalry units. After the war he pursued several successful civic projects and public functions in Tennessee.

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

paragraph: Colton Greene (full name possibly George Colton Greene) was born July 7, 1833 in SC, according to his postwar application for a passport. Little is known of his parents or education, and he reportedly never married nor would discuss his past with anyone. One story, current in Memphis at the time, was that he killed a man in a duel in South Carolina, and then came west. By 1857 he was living in St. Louis, Missouri, where he was involved in politics with the state's Democratic Party. Greene was a wealthy and successful wholesale grocer in St. Louis by 1860. Also that year Greene became a partner in the St. Louis firm of Hoyt & Co.

paragraph: Section::::Civil War service.

paragraph: Choosing to support the Confederate cause, Greene was active in the pro-secession movement in the border state of Missouri just before the war began. He was assigned as an aide-de-camp to Governor Claiborne Fox Jackson in 1861, and helped him to coordinate the activities of the secessionists.

paragraph: Greene was appointed a captain in the Missouri State Guard in 1861, and was sent by Jackson along with Capt. Basil W. Duke to Montgomery, Alabama, (then capital of the Confederacy) to ask the recently elected Confederate President Jefferson Davis for artillery. It was hoped this could be used to attack the Federal arsenal in St. Louis, however the captains arrived with their artillery too late to help in the effort, and the cannon were captured by Union troops. Despite this setback, Greene soon afterwards aided Gov. Jackson to drill recruits that had gathered in Jefferson City, as well as missions that summer into Arkansas and to Richmond, Virginia, to seek support for invading and reclaiming Missouri, now increasingly under Union control.

paragraph: On August 10, 1861, Greene saw his first combat on the staff of Brig. Gen. James H. McBride during the Battle of Wilson's Creek, near Springfield, Missouri. On October 28, Greene was appointed colonel in the Missouri State Guard and assigned as assistant adjutant to the Confederate 7th District in Missouri, commanded by McBride. When that commander fell ill in early 1862, Greene was ordered to lead the district, which he re-organized into a brigade consisting of two volunteer regiments. His brigade participated in the Confederate defeat during the Battle of Pea Ridge on March 7–8 near Bentonville, Arkansas. In the battle, Greene's command was part of Maj. Gen. Sterling Price's Division in Maj. Gen. Earl Van Dorn's army. Sometime during 1861, Greene was also appointed a brigadier general in the Missouri State Guard.

paragraph: After the fight at Pea Ridge, Greene accompanied Price's force into Mississippi that spring. He requested and received permission to re-enter Missouri to gather recruits, and by the fall he had collected and trained a mounted force. Named the 3rd Missouri Cavalry, Greene was appointed its colonel in the regular Confederate Army on November 4, 1862. Greene led the 3rd Missouri (part of Gen. John S. Marmaduke's division of the Army of the West) at the Battle of Clark's Mill on November 7 at Vera Cruz, located about ten miles southeast of Ava in Douglas County, Missouri.

paragraph: In 1863, Greene led Marmaduke's cavalry brigade (including the 3rd Missouri) during the Union victory at the Battle of Helena in Phillips County, Arkansas, on July 4. Green then participated during the battles of the 1864 Red River Campaign in the Trans-Mississippi Theater. He fought in the Camden Expedition and the Battle of Poison Spring around Lee Plantation, about 10 miles from Camden, Arkansas, on April 18, 1864. His command was in reserve in the action and entered a hole in the Confederate line that was caused by Union artillery fire. Greene plugged that hole and sealed the victory, routing the remaining Union defensive line. This fight is noted for accusations of the murdering of wounded Federal United States Colored Troops as they surrendered, left behind when the Union forces retreated.

paragraph: Greene led his brigade (part of Marmaduke's Division in Edmund Kirby Smith's Army of Arkansas) during the Battle of Jenkins' Ferry in Grant County, Arkansas, on April 30, 1864. In the Confederate loss, Greene reported a casualty total of 50; seven dead and 43 wounded. During the time Green was leading a brigade in 1864 he was an acting brigadier general in the Confederate States Army.

paragraph: On June 6, 1864, Greene fought during the Battle of Old River Lake in Chicot County, Arkansas. At Ditch Bayou Greene attempted unsuccessfully to delay Union forces that were approaching Lake Village, and then he withdrew to nearby Parker's Landing. Total Confederate casualties in the loss, including Greene's soldiers, was reportedly 100 men. Later that summer Greene was arrested and charged with disobeying orders, accused of failing to surrender his mules to the Confederate government. In the ensuing court-martial that fall, he was exonerated of the charges and returned to his command. After the trial, Greene fought during Sterling Price's unsuccessful 1864 Missouri Expedition, better known as Price's Raid. Marmaduke had been promoted and his brigade went to Brig. Gen. John B. Clark, leaving Greene to lead the 3rd Missouri Cavalry once more. When Clark was given divisional command after the raid, Greene again led a brigade.

paragraph: Section::::Postbellum.

paragraph: When the war ended in 1865, Green returned to his life in St. Louis. There he found that his former partner, Stephen Hoyt, and others had seized his business interests and property, leaving Greene in poverty. He then moved to Memphis, Tennessee, to rebuild, taking up work as a banker and an insurance agent for the Memphis office of the Knickerbocker Life Insurance Company of New York. Greene established his own insurance firm in 1871 and soon prospered. He then founded the State Savings Bank of Memphis, as well as organizing support in 1886 for the city's first municipal waterworks with the publication of the "Report on a Public Water Supply for the City of Memphis, February 23, 1886", which he edited. Greene arranged the first Memphis Mardi Gras (described as "highly successful") and also helped found the Memphis Public Library.

paragraph: Greene died in Memphis September 23, 1900, and was buried there in Elmwood Cemetery.

paragraph: Bob Kurland

paragraph: Robert Albert Kurland (December 23, 1924 – September 29, 2013) was a American basketball center, who played for the two-time NCAA champion Oklahoma A&M Aggies (now Oklahoma State Cowboys) basketball team. He led the U.S. basketball team to gold medals in two Summer Olympics, and led his AAU team to three national titles. He is a member of the Naismith Memorial Basketball Hall of Fame.

paragraph: Section::::Early life.

paragraph: Kurland was born in St. Louis, Missouri to Albert and Adele Kurland. He graduated from Jennings High School in Jennings, Missouri, where he participated in basketball and track.

paragraph: Section::::College career.

paragraph: Kurland, a Missouri native, considered attending the University of Missouri. But when Oklahoma A&M played a game at Saint Louis University, A&M coach Henry Iba invited Kurland to dinner and offered him a scholarship. Missouri could only offer Kurland a job. Many of Kurland's family members had not finished high school, and Kurland was the first in his family to attend college at any level.

paragraph: Kurland was an integral part of the team's consecutive NCAA titles in 1945 and 1946, and was named the NCAA Basketball Tournament Most Outstanding Player both times. In the 1945–46 season, he scored a then-season record 643 points, including 58 in a game against Saint Louis University, which featured freshman Ed Macauley. Kurland was voted Helms Foundation College Basketball Player of the Year.

paragraph: Kurland was known to leap above the rim to grab opponents' shots. This led to the NCAA banning defensive goaltending in 1945. Kurland was also the first person to regularly dunk during games. The rivalry between him and De Paul's George Mikan would foreshadow similar matchups, especially those of basketball's "big men."

paragraph: In college, Kurland was active in many campus activities, including the student council, for which he served as president in 1945 and 1946. He graduated with a bachelor of science in education.

paragraph: Section::::AAU career.

paragraph: Kurland never played professional basketball, passing up the newly formed Basketball Association of America and National Basketball League (which would merge, forming the National Basketball Association), to play for Phillips Petroleum's A.A.U. team, the Oilers. Kurland played for six years with Phillips, winning three championships.

paragraph: Section::::Summer Olympics.

paragraph: Since Kurland never played professionally, he was eligible as an amateur for the Olympic Games. In the 1948 Summer Olympics in London, England, he led the U.S. basketball team to the gold medal. He was second on the team in scoring (behind Alex Groza) as the U.S. defeated France in the gold medal game, 65–21. In the 1952 Olympics in Helsinki, Finland, Kurland carried the U.S. flag in the opening ceremony. He was again a dominant force at center as the U.S. defeated the Soviet Union in the gold medal game, 36–25.

paragraph: Section::::Personal life.

paragraph: Kurland received post-graduate management training at Stanford University. He became a salesman for Phillips Petroleum Company, where he played AAU basketball, and later served as a senior marketing executive. He held a variety of positions, including ones responsible for the development of the self-service gas station concept, growth of the agricultural and plastics divisions, and management of marketing initiatives. His corporate responsibilities took his family to Denver, Wichita, Memphis, Cincinnati and Atlanta. Ultimately, the family returned to the home of Phillips Petroleum, Bartlesville, Oklahoma, where Kurland served as vice mayor and as a member of the city commission for several years. He retired from Phillips in 1985.

paragraph: Kurland was elected to the Naismith Memorial Basketball Hall of Fame in 1961. In 1996, he was inducted into the National Polish-American Sports Hall of Fame.

paragraph: After retirement, Kurland and his wife, Barbara, divided time between their homes in Bartlesville, Oklahoma and Sanibel Island, Florida.

paragraph: Kurland died at his Florida home on September 29, 2013, at age 88. He was survived by his wife of 62 years, Barbara, their four children Alex, Ross, Dana, and Barbara, and seven grandchildren.

paragraph: Jan den Uyl

paragraph: Jan Jansz. den Uyl (Utrecht (?), 1595/96 – 24 November 1639) was a painter of the Dutch Golden Age. He very much specialized in the form of still life known as the breakfast piece, or, in the elaborate style of painters like den Uyl, banquet pieces ("banketjestukken"). He also painted landscapes and animal paintings.

paragraph: Den Uyl was well known in his time, and Peter Paul Rubens owned three of his paintings. Although den Uyl is nowadays comparatively unknown, one of his paintings, in the collection of Gerald Guterman, has been called the "most beautifully perfect Dutch monochrome still-life in existence".

paragraph: The Dutch word "uyl" means "owl", and den Uyl always included the signature motif of an owl in his paintings, often more than once in a single picture. Sometimes the motif is obvious and sometimes it is more covert. For example, in his "Breakfast Still Life with Glass and Metalwork" (1637–39), in the Museum of Fine Arts, Boston, an owl is incorporated fairly obviously as the decorative finial on a large flagon, but the reflections in the pewter plates are also reminiscent of the face of an owl.

paragraph: He trained Jan Jansz. Treck, whose sister he married in 1619.
