paragraph: James Mylne (artist)

paragraph: James Mylne is a British contemporary artist known for his drawings in ballpoint pen. His technical abilities with the unorthodox art medium have earned Mylne recognition in Europe and the UK, where he is considered among the leaders of the genre and emulated by art students. "The Ballpointer" online journal called Mylne "Britain's premier ballpoint pen artist" in a 2015 feature article. The artist's photorealist likenesses of iconic celebrities attracted early media attention and continues to be one aspect of his output. Mylne also creates mixed-media works adding spray paint, magic markers and more to his ballpoint originals. Artwork expressing personal views and broader interests flourished throughout 2014.

paragraph: Section::::Art education.

paragraph: James Mylne attended foundation courses at Chelsea Art College, London, in 2002. Studies there were followed by 3 years at Camberwell, where he received his BA in drawing in 2005 and his MA in 2006.

paragraph: College instructors were unsupportive of his ballpoint usage, and dismissed his work as "pretty pictures".

paragraph: Section::::Art education.:Ballpoint usage.

paragraph: As with many other bored students — artists or not — Mylne doodled in "biro" (as "ballpoint pens" are known in the UK) during secondary school. Although he has spoken of original aspirations to be a painter and was still painting at the age of 18, James had already begun giving ballpoint pens greater consideration as an art medium since he was 16, or "around 1996".

paragraph: By his college years, prior to widespread popularity of the internet, Mylne was still approaching his ballpoint pen usage as if he were the only one using them to create art, ignorant of anyone else using them.

paragraph: Of his choice of ballpoints as a preferred medium, Mylne credits the pen's capabilities of precision and distinct contrast.

paragraph: Such "technical" aspects of the medium have interested him most, in part fueling his desire "to master ballpoint photorealism".

paragraph: Mylne has said that biros appeal to him because of the concentration required, noting that, as there is little room for error, it forces a certain level of focus which has meditative qualities. Separately, he adds, "you find them everywhere."

paragraph: Upon completion of formal studies, he launched a website dedicated to disseminating information of ballpoint pens as an alternative art medium.

paragraph: Mylne was one of the earliest of artists using ballpoint pens who exploited the internet to promote their work, which in turn attracted attention to ballpoint pens as an art medium overall.

paragraph: He continues to run a blog with the same purposes, and his ongoing YouTube contributions have attracted a following.

paragraph: Section::::Art career.

paragraph: England's BBC London News program reported in a 2014 interview that James Mylne sold his first work of art when he was nineteen years old. Exhibitions of his ballpoint drawings began in 2001. In his photorealistic artworks, subject matter has included wildlife ("shown at right"), urban landscapes and the female form.

paragraph: Mylne's ballpoint pen replicas of iconic photos of entertainers and artists from Britain and America, including Audrey Hepburn and Jean-Michel Basquiat, were the first to attract attention. Hepburn became a recurring "muse".

paragraph: Kate Moss' visage has also appeared prominently in James Mylne's artwork. Two of the artist's photorealistic ballpoint likenesses of Moss were chosen as art magazine covers, the first in 2009 and again in 2012, which also featured an interview with Mylne. One of these Kate Moss drawings reportedly required six weeks to complete.

paragraph: Section::::Art career.:2010-2014: Vermeer replica, "Reworked" and "Vintage Vogue" exhibitions.

paragraph: James Mylne participated in a 2010 "Bic Challenge" campaign sponsored by the pen company, for which he created a replica of Vermeer’s "Girl With a Pearl Earring" using a single black Bic pen as part of the challenge. He appeared on British television to discuss the artwork, noting the 90 hours of drawing spent toward its completion.

paragraph: The artist and his artwork received media coverage throughout Britain and internationally via the internet at the time.

paragraph: Mylne participated in the first two of an exhibition series titled "Reworked" produced by Rook & Raven gallery, London, his representative at the time. As suggested by the exhibition title, a select group of artists was given a choice of photographs lensed by a featured photographer, to interpret as they wished.

paragraph: Terry O’Neill was the featured photographer of the inaugural "Reworked" exhibition in 2010.

paragraph: Mylne was chosen as one of six artists to collaborate with the renowned photographer for "Terry O'Neill, Reworked".

paragraph: The artist opted for a vintage photograph of Sean Connery as his James Bond character, shot during filming of Diamonds Are Forever.

paragraph: Mylne used only black ballpoints, but produced a limited-edition print with additional background colour.

paragraph: Terry O'Neill made an appearance with the artwork (and the photograph from which it was copied) on British television, expressing amazement at the four weeks Mylne spent working on his contribution.

paragraph: Photographs of Mylne drawing the image also appeared in British media.

paragraph: The second installment of the "Reworked" exhibitions was held in March 2013, featuring the photography of Bill Wyman, the bass guitarist and founding member of The Rolling Stones who was also known as an avid photographer. He was introduced to Rook & Raven by Terry O'Neill, the previously featured photographer, who'd photographed the band since their early years.

paragraph: Mylne was among five artists selected for "Bill Wyman, Reworked", and contributed reworkings of two Wyman photos. One of Mylne's contributions was his black and white reinterpretation of a colour photo Wyman had taken of American model Jerry Hall, a former wife of bandmate Mick Jagger.

paragraph: James Mylne's "Vintage Vogue" was his first major solo exhibition, gaining widespread publicity via the internet. The central theme of the October, 2012, exhibition drew on "the elegance and style" of celebrated icons of the 1940s, 50s and 60s.

paragraph: In regard to his chosen theme, Mylne complimented the "genuine serenity in the poise and personality of models and actresses from the mid 20th century", as opposed to what he feels as "forced" contemporary aesthetics aided by computer enhancement. He expressed a desire to bring that effortless style "into the now".

paragraph: Among the celebrities illustrated in this collection were Coco Chanel and Steve McQueen, as well as a portrayal of Audrey Hepburn which is said to have taken a hundred hours to complete.

paragraph: Section::::Art career.:2014-2015: "Torn" and "Anti Con Art" series, "Microsoft" digital pens.

paragraph: In what would be the first of several shifts by Mylne in 2014, the artist took new steps with his photorealism by getting involved in producing his own photo references instead of using existing photos. The results became Mylne's "Torn" series, debuted in his "Something More" exhibition. Mylne combined the photos with his matching ballpoint pen drawings, torn as if exposing different layers, emulating the way torn street posters expose older layers beneath.

paragraph: In August, 2014, the artist worked with Microsoft to promote the company's new "Surface Pro 3" tablet and digital pen. Using the new medium, Mylne recreated some of the most famous portrait paintings in Britain's National Portrait Gallery in London, including the Chandos portrait of William Shakespeare. Mylne commented on the similarities of the two seemingly disparate technologies, calling it a "surprisingly easy transition". His digital depictions were displayed at the institution as part of the promotional campaign.

paragraph: Mylne also began his "Anti Con Art" series in 2014, for the first time baring personal views through his artwork. As he explained in a "manifesto" released in December, Mylne felt that "contemporary art has been hijacked by an untalented, academic, self-appointed elite", and used the new series to take jabs at what he labels the "Art Mafia". Mylne justified openly expressing such views in an interview with "The Ballpointer", stating "I think more people sympathize than actually condemn (such views)".

paragraph: Mylne continued expressing himself more personally through his artwork into 2015. He began the year promoting his "JRM Desktop" series through a variety of group and pop-up exhibitions. Artwork in this series show a blend of many alternate interests, while blending ballpoint pen heavily with mixed media. Says Mylne, "I think it's not the artwork that is of value but the artist in the artwork. The artist's spirit, thoughts, concerns have to shine through the work." He also describes the series as "a nice break from the rigorously detailed portraits".

paragraph: Section::::Style & Technique.

paragraph: James Mylne uses only black ink when working in ballpoint pen. Regardless of the many ballpoint pen brands available, he is known to prefer the Bic "biro".

paragraph: To add color, Mylne employs acrylics, gouache, spray paint and paint pens. The artist finds paint pens useful for filling larger areas of black. For background color, Mylne masks off the silhouette of a figure he'll be drawing, then applies flat fields of colour using spray paint. Mylne's "Anti Con Art" series shows ballpoint-penned characters interacting with others painted in acrylic or gouache. To achieve this trick Mylne will simply paint around previously penned areas or leave those intended areas blank while painting, then ink them afterward.

paragraph: Mylne admits to being "passionate about detail", adding that ballpoints allow for great detail and subtle halftones "if you know how to use them". Halftone effects are achieved by controlled spacing of parallel ballpoint lines while referencing his source material.

paragraph: During a live show-and-tell appearance on Britain's "Blue Peter" television program, Mylne explained that he works "very slowly", using pencil for preliminary outlines. He begins with what he perceives to be "the most difficult bit" — a person's eyes, for example — "because that's the most important bit to get right". Mylne has admitted to having to start over after making a mistake.

paragraph: For the most part, Mylne finds most of his source-images online. Often, he has to "infer" details into his own drawing to compensate for loss of detail which occurs when "scaling-up" small, inferior data into larger, detailed artwork, describing the process as "almost creating a new image".

paragraph: For his 2014 "Torn" series, Mylne took an active role in the production of his photographic references, working with photographers and models.

paragraph: Section::::Media reception.

paragraph: Reaction to James Mylne's artwork has been generally favorable. Emma Clark, writing for the "Daily Mail" in 2012, likened Mylne's ballpoint pen photorealism to "beautifully painted canvases".

paragraph: Orlando Lebron, in a 2015 article for the online trade journal "The Ballpointer", observed, "Many other so-called hyper-realist ballpointers' artwork rely on distance or reduction to tighten loosely hatched linework. Mylne's artwork needs no such buffer". Other reviewers have described Mylne as a "master technician", and commended the "stunning likenesses" he portrays, which "gain a lifelike presence".

paragraph: Mylne's photorealist ballpoint pen artworks are so finely inked that they are often mistaken for photo prints, even when viewed up-close. Mylne has related one instance where his artwork was denied entry into a "notable" exhibition because "photography" was not permitted.

paragraph: Dylan Jones, writing about Mylne for "British GQ" in 2015, both complemented and questioned the attraction of his ballpoint artwork. While on one hand stating, "when they're good they're very good indeed" and calling Mylne an "extraordinary talent", Jones also comments that "taken from famous photographs", the imagery takes on "a cheap, second-hand flavor", and cites a third-party source who stated "you're appreciating the technique rather than artistic flair".

paragraph: In defense of occasional criticism about lack of depth in his work, James had previously countered that true fans of his work are "taking it at face value" and, as his work is not intended to serve any deeper purpose, he's 'fine with that'.

paragraph: At the same time, Mylne's output had been undergoing notable shifts throughout 2014 beyond the "straightforward" photorealism of several years earlier.

paragraph: Section::::Personal.

paragraph: Mylne acknowledges some artistic influence from street art during the early 2000s, owing to disillusionment by the sensationalism of the YBA generation prevalent at that time. Mylne used his "Anti Con Art" series (2014–present) to begin airing views about contemporary art and art world politics, in general.

paragraph: Tibetan Buddhism is a continuing inspiration to the artist.

paragraph: In 2014 Mylne parted ways with his longtime gallery. He now lists himself as "independent" of gallery representation.

paragraph: Section::::Marriage.

paragraph: One spring day Abdulmejid came to visit his aunt and was passing through the harem gardens when he saw Perestu, then fourteen years old. He asked his aunt to give her hand in marriage to him. Firstly, Esma Sultan refused to give Perestu's hand in marriage to Abdulmejid but finally she was consented on the condition that the Sultan would legally marry her and not consider her as a concubine , which he did. The marriage took place in 1844 in Esma Sultan's Palace. One week after that, she was sent off to Topkapı Palace.

paragraph: She was given the title of "Baş Ikbal". In 1845, she was given the title of Altıncı Kadın, in 1851, she was given the title of "Beşinci Kadın", and in 1852, she was given the title of "Dördüncü Kadın".

paragraph: Section::::As Valide Sultan.

paragraph: After Abdul Hamid II ascended the throne in 1876, she was given the position of Valide Sultan by him, and headed the harem. Abdul Hamid told her categorically not to involve herself in politics. Thus, unlike many of her predecessors, she was not active in politics.

paragraph: Three days before Abdul Hamid became Sultan, he went to Perestu Kadın's villa, and it was from there that he proceeded to Topkapı Palace for the ceremony of homage at his accession. Perestu loved this house. Now and again she would want to go there, but because Abdul Hamid absolutely wanted her present in the palace he would withhold permission.

paragraph: In 1885, during the visit of King Oscar II and Queen Sophia of Sweden to the Ottoman Empire, she received the Swedish queen, who was allowed to visit the Imperial harem.

paragraph: The internal matters of the palace were in her charge. But she did not want to hurt anyone's feelings in the least, did not interfere in the matters, sought justice and equity, and because she was firmly religious she passed a good deal of time in prayers. She possessed good, high moral standards, which led her to help the poor and needy.

paragraph: Gülbahar Hatun (wife of Mehmed II)

paragraph: Gülbahar Hatun ( 1432 – 1492) was the consort of Sultan Mehmed II, and mother of Sultan Bayezid II of the Ottoman Empire and the grandmother of Selim I.

paragraph: Section::::Life.

paragraph: She married Sultan Mehmed II in 1446 at Manisa.

paragraph: Section::::Life.:Origin.

paragraph: The Ottoman inscription ("vakfiye") describes her as "Hātun binti Abdullah (Daughter of Abdullah)", which means that her father was possibly a convert to Islam. Gülbahar Hatun was Albanian.

paragraph: Section::::Life.:Issue.

paragraph: She was the mother of ""Gevher-Han Sultan"," who married the son of Aq Qoyunlu Sultan Uzun Hasan, "Şâh-Zâde Uğurlu Damad Muhammed Mirza Paşa" in 1474, and the mother of Ottoman Sultan Bayezid II.

paragraph: There are sorces that claim that Bayezid was the son of Mükrime Hatun. But, this is strange, because it would make Ayse Hatun, Bayezid II's first cousin. Also, the marriage of Mükrime Hatun took place two years after Bayezid was born and the whole arrangement was not to Mehmed's liking. While, Emine Gülbahar Hatun, is accepted as the real mother of Bayezid II.

paragraph: Per custom, Gülbahar got the highest position as Valde Hatun in the imperial family after the sultan himself when her son, Bayezid II, ascended the throne in 1481 until her death in 1492. During her son's reign, she and the rest of the Imperial Family resided at the Old Palace ("saray-ı atik") and were visited by the Sultan who on each visit used to pay his respect to his mother. In one case, Gülbahar complained of her son's rare visits and in a letter to her son wrote:

paragraph: Emil Korytko

paragraph: Emil Korytko (7 September 1813 – 31 January 1839) was a Polish political activist in the period of the Great Emigration, who was exiled to Ljubljana, Carniola (now Slovenia) and became an important ethnographer, philologist and translator there. His legacy are collections of Slovene folk songs and vivid descriptions of Carniolan folk customs. He significantly contributed to the mutual dialogue between Polish and Slovene authors and readers.

paragraph: Section::::Early life and study.

paragraph: Alex Collins (American football)

paragraph: Alex Collins (born August 26, 1994) is an American football running back who is currently a free agent. He was drafted by the Seattle Seahawks in the fifth round, 171st overall, of the 2016 NFL Draft. He spent 2 seasons with the Baltimore Ravens before getting released following an arrest. He played college football at Arkansas.

paragraph: Section::::Early years.

paragraph: Collins attended South Plantation High School in Fort Lauderdale, Florida, where he was a letterman in football, basketball, lacrosse, and track. He was coached by Doug Gatewood. He was named Broward County Player of the Year as a junior after rushing for 1,786 yards and 28 touchdowns as the Paladins earned seven victories and qualified for the state playoffs. As a senior, he rushed for 1,400 yards and 14 touchdowns despite missing three games due to injury, helping South Plantation to nine wins, the district title and a berth in the 8A state playoffs. Following his senior season, he was selected to play in the Semper Fidelis All-American Bowl, where he was teammates with fellow Arkansas signee Austin Allen.

paragraph: Also a talented sprinter, Collins ran the third leg on South Plantation's state-champion 4 × 100 m relay (41.98 s), leading to him being named the 2013 Broward County Male Athlete of the Year.

paragraph: Collins was ranked as a four-star recruit by Rivals.com and the 13th best running back in his class. Collins committed to play college football at the University of Arkansas in February 2013.

paragraph: On signing day, Collins's mother provided some momentary drama, when she refused to sign the National Letter of Intent (LOI) for Alex to attend school at Arkansas, and then ran away with the LOI. She wanted Collins to stay close to home and attend classes at the University of Miami. The drama ended the next day when Arkansas head coach Bret Bielema faxed another LOI to Collins, which was signed by his father.

paragraph: Section::::College career.

paragraph: Collins played for the University of Arkansas from 2013 to 2015. He started his career as the first true freshman in SEC history to rush for 300 yards in his first three games. Splitting time with Jonathan Williams, he finished the year with 1,026 rushing yards on 190 carries with four touchdowns. For his play he was named the 2013 SEC Freshman of the Year.

paragraph: In his sophomore season in 2014, Collins ran for 1,100 yards and 12 touchdowns on 204 carries, while still splitting time with Williams. He also helped lead Arkansas to a Texas Bowl victory over the Texas Longhorns.

paragraph: Williams went down with an injury before the 2015 season, so Collins became the featured back in Bret Bielema's offense. He started every game his junior year, and on November 7, 2015, with 108 yards against Ole Miss, Collins became only the third player in SEC history to rush for 1,000 plus yards in three seasons, joining Herschel Walker and Darren McFadden. Collins finished his junior season with a career-high 1,577 yards, and a school-record 20 rushing touchdowns. He was named second-team all-SEC, mostly because Alabama's Derrick Henry and LSU's Leonard Fournette outrushed him and were All-Americans. Collins led Arkansas to a Liberty Bowl victory over Kansas State on January 2, 2016. He finished the 45-23 victory with 185 yards and three rushing touchdowns, earning MVP honors.

paragraph: Collins is second on the Razorback career rushing yards list (3,703), behind only Darren McFadden (4,590).

paragraph: Section::::Professional career.

paragraph: On January 10, 2016, Collins penned an open letter to Arkansas fans announcing his intention to forgo his senior season and enter the 2016 NFL Draft. He was projected to be third round pick and was ranked the third best running back by CBSSports.com prior to the combine. He attended the NFL Combine and completed nearly all of the required drills, but chose to not perform the short shuttle or three-cone drill due to a headache.

paragraph: Russell Young (artist)

paragraph: Russell Young (born 13 March 1959) is a British-American artist best known for large silkscreen paintings using imagery drawn from recent history and popular culture. Young's artistic output includes painting, screen printing, sculpture, installations and film.

paragraph: Section::::Life.

paragraph: Young studied photography, film and graphic design at the University of Chester and later attended Exeter College of Art and Design. He moved to London and gained recognition photographing the early live club shows in the late 1970s of Bauhaus, R.E.M. and the Smiths, and with editorial work for magazines including "BLITZ", which featured on several front covers. During this period he shot portraits of Morrissey, Björk, Bruce Springsteen, Bob Dylan, New Order, Diana Ross, and Paul Newman. In 1986, he shot the ‘Faith’ sleeve for George Michael. In the following ten years he directed many music videos, working with artists ranging from the Brand New Heavies to Eartha Kitt.

paragraph: In September 2000, while living in New York City, he began to concentrate on art and to devote himself to painting. Young's work has been shown nationally and internationally including at Scope/Basel, Switzerland SCOPE Art Show and Art Miami, Florida.

paragraph: He lives and works in New York and California.

paragraph: Section::::Career.

paragraph: During the 1990s Young gave up photography and directing altogether and started to paint seriously. In 1998 he relocated to New York, rented a studio in Williamsburg, Brooklyn and worked on a series of ‘Combine Paintings’, assemblages of collage, found objects and street graffiti. In 2001, he began the series called 'Pig Portraits'. He had acquired the mugshots of musicians, actors and political figures and he blew them up as bold, colorful, silkscreen, portraits of Sid Vicious, Elvis Presley, Jane Fonda, Malcolm X, Steve McQueen, Frank Sinatra and Lee Harvey Oswald. "They were meant to be anti-celebrity portraits. To take a dig at my former career I guess. As a release. But they ended up–I think they look better than they do in some of the sessions." He first showed the Pig Portraits at Don O'Melveny Gallery in Los Angeles in 2003.

paragraph: After 9/11 Young and his family returned to California. In 2005 he showed his Fame+Shame series with the Art of Elysium at Menotti Gallery in Los Angeles, documenting the fallout from the cultural excess of previous decades.

paragraph: Young began to use diamond dust in 2007. He called the paintings Dirty Pretty Things, pressing the crystals into the web pigment of the images of his paintings. In 2008 he showed many of these at the Kessler Gallery in Southampton, New York as Diamond Dust. He used this process in his well known series, Marilyn Crying, showed at the Halcyon Gallery in London in 2016.

paragraph: Young became very ill and almost died in February 2010. He was in a coma for 8 days brought on by pneumonia and ARDS; all induced by the H1N1 virus. Young emerged from his long recovery examining his life and surroundings and began to explore the nature of trauma and its effect on both the individual and cultural psyche. 2011 forced a seminal shift in his work, first in the series Helter Skelter, using the violent image from the 1968 Rolling Stones Altamont Free Concert and the Hells Angels stabbing death of Meredith Hunter, over and over, in a series of abstractions. Helter Skelter was shown at SCOPE Miami in 2014 by Bankrobber London.

paragraph: The Goss-Michael Foundation in Dallas held a retrospective of Young's work in the winter of 2012. He also showed a series of large paintings called Only Anarchists are Pretty in the front gallery. He cut up 1970s photographs of bound women and lay them onto large, "unimaginable orgies of claustrophobic assemblage" and titled from the council estates in the deprived areas of Britain: Thorntree, Nant Peris, the Gorbals. An idea he borrows from Joy Division naming themselves for the sexual slavery rooms of nazi concentration camps, told of in the House of Dolls.

paragraph: Young began two large series of abstract works in 2011. In the Fight of the Paso del Mar, he threw the dust of metals into wet, black pigment and sprayed them with sea water and rain to allow the metals to rust and turn colors. He named them for his favorite surf breaks along the California coast. In Dreamland, he poured paint on the floor and printed it onto linen, building up atmospheric scapes with the names of atomic bomb tests. He showed his Fight of the Paso del Mar and Dreamland paintings at Bankrobber London in 2013.

paragraph: In honor of Pele, Young did a screen print in 2015 for the World Cup.

paragraph: In October 2018, Russell Young Superstar, opened at the Modern Art Museum Shanghai, a former coal bunker along the banks of the Huangpu River. It is the most extensive survey of his work to date and introducing his 5-year project West.

paragraph: Section::::Charitable Work.

paragraph: Young is an active supporter of The Art Of Elysium, an organization empowering artists and communities of need to join together and emotionally triumph over their circumstances through art. In 2016 Russell Young and Finola Hughes received the Spirit of Elysium award from Vivienne Westwood and Andreas Kronthaler in recognition of their charitable enterprises using art as a catalyst for social change.

paragraph: David Garnett

paragraph: David Garnett (9 March 1892 – 17 February 1981) was a British writer and publisher. As a child, he had a cloak made of rabbit skin and thus received the nickname "Bunny", by which he was known to friends and intimates all his life.

paragraph: Section::::Early life.

paragraph: Garnett was born in Brighton, East Sussex, the only child of writer, critic and publisher Edward Garnett and his wife Constance Clara Black, a translator of Russian. Through his father, he was descended from a writer and a philologist who both worked at what is now the British Library, then within the British Museum. Bloomsbury and the life of letters were embedded in David.

paragraph: As a conscientious objector in the First World War, Garnett worked on fruit farms in Suffolk and Sussex with his lover Duncan Grant.

paragraph: Section::::Work.

paragraph: A prominent member of the Bloomsbury Group, Garnett received literary recognition when his novel "Lady into Fox", an allegorical fantasy, was awarded the 1922 James Tait Black Memorial Prize for fiction. He ran a bookshop near the British Museum with Francis Birrell during the 1920s. He also founded (with Francis Meynell) the Nonesuch Press. He wrote the novel "Aspects of Love" (1955), on which the later Andrew Lloyd Webber musical of the same name was based.

paragraph: Section::::Personal life.

paragraph: His first wife was the illustrator Rachel "Ray" Marshall (1891–1940), sister of the translator and diarist Frances Partridge. He and Ray, whose woodcuts appear in some of Garnett's books, had two sons, the older of which was Richard Garnett (1923–2013), the writer. Ray died relatively young of breast cancer.

paragraph: Garnett was bisexual, as were several members of the artistic and literary Bloomsbury Group, and he had affairs with Francis Birrell and Duncan Grant. On 25 December 1918 he was present at the birth of Grant's daughter by Vanessa Bell, Angelica, who was accepted by Vanessa's husband Clive Bell. Shortly afterwards he wrote to a friend: "I think of marrying it. When she is 20, I shall be 46 – will it be scandalous?" On 8 May 1942, when Angelica was in her early twenties, they did marry, to the horror of her parents. She did not find out until much later that her husband had been a lover of her father.

paragraph: The Garnetts lived at Hilton Hall, near St Ives in Huntingdonshire, where David Garnett kept a herd of Jersey cows.

paragraph: They had four daughters: in order, Amaryllis, Henrietta, and the twins Nerissa and Frances; eventually the couple separated. Amaryllis Virginia Garnett (1943–1973) was an actress who had a small part in Harold Pinter's film adaptation of "The Go-Between" (1970). She drowned in the Thames, aged 29. Henrietta Garnett married Lytton Burgo Partridge, her father's nephew by his first wife Ray, but was left a widow with a newborn infant when she was 18; she oversaw the legacies of both David Garnett and Duncan Grant. Nerissa Garnett (1946–2004) was an artist, ceramicist, and photographer. Fanny (Frances) Garnett moved to France where she became a farmer.

paragraph: Section::::Later life.

paragraph: After his separation from Angelica, Garnett moved to France and lived in the grounds at the Château de Charry, Montcuq (near Cahors), in a house leased to him by the owners, Jo and Angela d'Urville. Garnett continued to write and lived there until his death in 1981.

His courtesy title was promoted from "Bungo-no-kami" to "Sankonoe-gon-shō-shō" in 1740. Due to peasant unrest, he was able to pay only one half of his required taxes in 1749, and died in 1750 at the age of 27.

paragraph: Matsudaira Katanobu

paragraph: Section::::Biography.

paragraph: Matsudaira Katanobu was the eldest son of Matsudaira Katasada and became "daimyō" in 1750 on his father's death. He was presented in formal audience to Shogun Tokugawa Iesada in 1756, and was awarded the courtesy title of "Higo-no-kami". In 1759, he visited Aizu for the first time, and in 1760, his courtesy title was promoted to "Jijū" and "Sankonoe-gon-shō-shō" in celebration of Tokugawa Iesada's own promotion to the title of "Udaijin". He was further promoted to "Sankonoe-gon-chū-shō" in 1765 and his court rank to Senior Fourth Rank, Lower Grade in 1770 and Senior Fourth Rank, Upper Grade in 1778. However, these purely honorific promotions were a tremendous drain on the domain's finances, and the peasants rose in revolt over high taxation on several occasions. The situation was made even worse by the effects of the Great Tenmei famine. Many efforts at fiscal reform were thwarted by conservative members of the clan government; however, Katanobu managed to implement severe fiscal frugality decrees, promoted rural reconstruction by encouraging sericulture and the planting of safflower and ginseng, implemented domain monopolies on wax and lacquerware, and establishing a "sake" brewing industry in Aizu.

paragraph: During Katanobu's tenure, he dispatched 1500 Aizu samurai to Karafuto to guard against incursions by Imperial Russia.

paragraph: Katanobu was also noted for greatly expanding the han school and promoting education in the domain.

paragraph: He was married to a daughter of Abe Masachika of Oshi Domain, and after her death, remarried to a daughter of Mori Shigenari of Chōshū Domain, but had no sons, so he adopted his nephew Matsudaira Kataoki as heir. He died in 1805 at the age of 62.

paragraph: Robert Bennet of Chesters

paragraph: Robert Bennet of Chesters was a 17th-century Scottish gentleman. He lived in the Scottish Borders. Chesters or Grange lies on the banks of the Teviot and is close to the town of Ancrum in Roxburghshire.

paragraph: Section::::The conventicles of Lilliesleaf Moor.

paragraph: Lilliesleaf Moor, which then extended westward to Satchels and Grundistone, was the scene of many a conventicle. From Government papers we are warranted to infer that field-meetings were held for some time regularly nearly every Sabbath during summer and winter on Lilliesleaf and Hassendean moors, Blackriddel hill, and other places in the neighbourhood. Meldrum, the notorious Border persecutor, made the following statement before the Privy Council : — "The shire of Selkirk and the country there about is notoriously known to be the most disorderly part of the kingdom, and there have been always more conventicles there than in any other shire." The place in the neighbourhood of Selkirk where conventicles were most frequently held seems to have been Lilliesleaf Moor.

paragraph: Section::::Life.

paragraph: In 1676, Robert Bennet of Chesters was declared an outlaw and had all his possessions siezed due to the fact he had attended conventicles by John Blackadder and others. The conventicles took place on Lilliesleaf moor.

paragraph: He was known as a prisoner from the Bass Rock. He was heavily fined and repeatedly imprisoned on the island in the Firth of Forth for stating that he would not attend open air church services. The main reason behind his detention in the Bass was his taking part in “armed conventicles". He was sentenced on 2 May 1677 and transferred from the Tolbooth to the Bass by 3 horsemen and 6 footmen. He was fined 4000 merks on 28 June 1677. Other counts were preferred against him, such as refusing to wait upon the “preaching of the curates” and to forego the ministrations of one “John Welsh; a declared rebel and traitor". He was fined four thousand merks Scots, and ordained to be carried to the Bass until he made payment thereof. He was ordered to be set free on 9 October 1677.

paragraph: Section::::Family.

paragraph: He married Anna Douglas. He was given leave to visit her from the Bass when she was on her deathbed on 18 February 1678. He was ordered to be put into house arrest on 13 June 1678. Robert seems to have had a least one daughter: Christian who married Walter Scot.

paragraph: Lynsey Addario

paragraph: Lynsey Addario (born November 13, 1973) is an American photojournalist. Her work often focuses on conflicts and human rights issues, especially the role of women in traditional societies.

paragraph: Section::::Life and work.

paragraph: Lynsey Addario was born and raised in Westport, Connecticut to parents Camille and Phillip Addario, both Italian-American hairdressers. She graduated from Staples High School, in Westport, Connecticut in 1991 and from the University of Wisconsin-Madison in 1995. She also holds two Honorary Doctorate Degrees, one from the University Of Wisconsin-Madison in Humanities, and another from Bates college in Maine.

paragraph: Addario began photographing professionally with Buenos Aires Herald in Argentina in 1996 with, as she says, "no previous photographic training”. In the late 1990’s, she moved back to the United States and freelanced for the Associated Press in New York City, only to move back to South America less than one year later. Focusing on Cuba and the effect of communism on the public, Addario made a name for herself. She moved to India a few years later to photograph under the Associated Press, leaving the United States.

paragraph: While living in India, Addario traveled through Nepal, Afghanistan, and Pakistan, focusing on humanitarian and women’s issues. After the attacks on the World Trade Center in 2001, Addario resolved to photograph Afghanistan and Pakistan under the Taliban.

paragraph: While in Pakistan, Addario was given her big break and put on rotation for "The" "New York Times". During this time, she “used her gender to get inside the women’s Madrases to interview and photograph the most devout Pakistani women.” Addario spoke at length with her subjects, inspiring her to use photography to “dispel stereotypes or misconceptions; of presenting the counterintuitive.”

paragraph: In 2003 and 2004, Addario photographed the Iraq war in Baghdad for "The New York Times". She has since covered conflicts in Afghanistan, Iraq, Darfur, Republic of the Congo, and Haiti. She has covered stories throughout the Middle East and Africa. In August 2004 she turned her attention to Africa, focusing on Chad and Sudan.

paragraph: She has photographed for "The New York Times", "The New York Times Magazine", "Time", "Newsweek", and "National Geographic".
