paragraph: Christopher Hinton, Baron Hinton of Bankside (12 May 1901 – 22 June 1983) was a British nuclear engineer, and supervisor of the construction of Calder Hall, the world's first large-scale commercial nuclear power station.

paragraph: Section::::Career.

paragraph: Hinton was born on 12 May 1901 at Tisbury, Wiltshire. He attended school in Chippenham where his father was a schoolmaster, and left school at 16 to become an engineering apprentice with the Great Western Railway at Swindon. At 22 he was awarded the William Henry Allen scholarship of the Institution of Mechanical Engineers to Trinity College, Cambridge, where he graduated with a first class honours degree.

paragraph: Hinton then worked for Brunner Mond, later part of ICI, where he became Chief Engineer at the age of 29. At Brunner Mond he met Lillian Boyer (d. 1973) whom he married in 1931. They had one daughter, Mary (1932–2014), who married Arthur Mole, son of Sir Charles Mole, director-general of the Ministry of Works.

paragraph: During World War II, Hinton was seconded to the Ministry of Supply and became Deputy Director General, running ordnance factory construction and in charge of the Royal Filling Factories.

paragraph: In 1946, Hinton was appointed Deputy Controller of Production, Atomic Energy, and in 1954 when the Atomic Energy Authority was formed, was appointed Member for Engineering and Production as managing director of 'Industrial Group Risley' which comprised the Risley headquarters and laboratories at Culcheth, Capenhurst, Windscale, Springfields and Dounreay plus factories at Springfields, Capenhurst, Windscale, Calder, Dounreay and Chapelcross.

paragraph: Hinton's department was responsible for the design and construction of most of Britain's major nuclear plants, including Windscale, Capenhurst, Springfields and Dounreay. In 1957, Hinton became the first chairman of the Central Electricity Generating Board. He retired in 1964. In 1965 he worked for six months in the Ministry of Transport and afterwards became a Special Adviser to the World Bank. He served as Chairman of the International Executive Committee of the World Energy Conference, 1962–68.

paragraph: He was created Baron Hinton of Bankside, of Dulwich in the County of London, a life peer, on 28 January 1965, and served as Chancellor of the University of Bath 1966 – 1979. He was appointed to the Order of Merit in 1976.

paragraph: Section::::Hinton Heavies.

paragraph: The English architectural critic Reyner Banham dubbed the first 500MW units ordered by the CEGB as the Hinton Heavies. A first for 500MW power station design the stations are listed below in the order that the CEGB released them for construction.

paragraph: Section::::The Hinton Cup & Hinton Trophy.

paragraph: During his time at the Central Electricity Generating Board he commissioned the Hinton Cup, a piece of silverware that would be presented annually to the power station that displayed good housekeeping in the workplace. The citation to go with the cup reads 'This cup is presented to the Power Station judged to have reached the highest attainment in economy and efficiency of operation and maintenance with particular reference to attractiveness and good housekeeping'.

paragraph: The cup was first won by Meaford A power station in 1959 and was last won by West Burton Power Station prior to the divestment of the Central Electricity Generating Board. The Hinton Trophy was the equivalent award for the best Transmission District. Because of the miners strike there was no competitions in 1984-85. To commemorate the thirty years of awarding the cup and trophy a presentation plate was manufactured by Gladstone Pottery Museum in Stoke-on-Trent. The Hinton Trophy was sold to a private buyer in Cuttlestones of Wolverhampton auction saleroom on the 11th October 2013.

paragraph: Miguel Enríquez (politician)

paragraph: Miguel Enríquez Espinosa (; March 27, 1944 - October 5, 1974) was a physician and one founder of the Chilean political party and former left-wing organization Movement of the Revolutionary Left (MIR) (Spanish "Movimiento de Izquierda Revolucionaria"), founded 1965. He was General Secretary of the MIR between 1967 and his death in 1974.

paragraph: After the September 11, 1973 coup Enriquez led the political-military resistance of MIR against the newly established dictatorship.

paragraph: After a year of Enríquez operating clandestinely, Pinochet's secret police, the DINA, uncovered his safe-house in the working class district of San Miguel in Santiago. On October 5, 1974 his house was surrounded by DINA agents backed by heavily armed security forces personnel with an armored personnel carrier and a helicopter. He was wounded in the beginning of the assault covering the retreat of his pregnant wife (Carmen Castillo, also wounded) and two other men that fled. He received ten bullet wounds, including one to the head. There are no reliable sources that prove he was executed.

paragraph: His son, Marco Enríquez-Ominami, is a prominent politician in Chile, and was a candidate for the presidential election of 2009, and then again in 2013 and in 2017, losing all of the elections.

paragraph: Section::::Biography.

paragraph: Miguel Humberto Enríquez Espinosa was born in Concepción, Chile into the upper middle class family of Edgardo Enríquez Frödden and Raquel Espinosa Townsend. His father Enríquez Frödden had been a prominent academic and political figure in Chile. He was a medical doctor and professor of anatomy of the University of Concepción, Chile, where he was principal (1969–1972). He had been a prominent figure in the Partido Radical (Radical Party) - in 1973 and he was appointed by Salvador Allende to the position of Minister of Education in the Popular Unity government. Dr. Edgardo Enríquez Frödden served also during 25 years as medical-surgeon in the Chilean Navy, as commander of the Hospital at the Navy Base in Talcahuano and with a one-year-long specialization in the USA. His mother Espinosa Townsend graduated from the School of Law of the University of Concepción, Chile. Miguel had also two uncles which were Senators at the Chilean Parliament, Humberto Enríquez Frödden (Miguel's second name) and Inés Enríquez Frödden.

paragraph: Miguel did his first school years at Saint John's, an exclusive English private school in Concepción. He continued his secondary education at "Liceo Enrique Molina" where at the age of 13 and 15, respectively, he met Marcello Ferrada de Noli and Bautista van Schouwen Vasey. With these friends and his elder brothers Marco Antonio and Edgardo Enríquez, Miguel would constitute at the end of the fifties the first core of comrades around his socialist-libertarian project of those early years. The same group would initiate a few years later the political nucleus at the youth section of the Socialist Party which under Miguel's university years evolved to the foundation of MIR.

paragraph: Enríquez entered the University of Concepción, Chile at the age of 16 to study medicine. At the age of 23 he graduated with a Medical Degree, which he obtained with "greatest distinction" ("distinción máxima"), obtaining the second highest marks in his class (first and third were respectively Jorge Gutiérrez Correa and Bautista van Schouwen, also militants of MIR). This distinction earned Miguel at the same time a specialization scholarship to attend the prestigious Neurological Institute of Santiago de Chile. He specialized and was trained as a Neurologist.

paragraph: Enríquez was an avid reader of both classical literature and political philosophy. Being also fluent in English he had a wider option of classical texts. Miguel fancied authors from Fiodor Dostoievski, Hermann Hesse and Ernest Hemingway to utopian socialists and classical anarchists. He was also a great debater, always citing works of world history, well read in the literature of Lenin, Leon Trotsky and Rosa Luxemburg, he studied the Chinese revolution, he knew in great detail the events of the Cuban revolution and had extensive knowledge of Chilean history. He was a Carrerist; an admirer of Manuel Rodríguez; critical of the historical role of Bernardo O'Higgins and he enjoyed engaging in discussion with people who held views different from his.

paragraph: In 1962, during his second year at the university in Concepción, Miguel officially entered the youth organization of the Chilean Socialist Party (Federación Juvenil Socialista, FJS) together with his brother M. Antonio and some close peers of the medical school. Enríquez' first political activities are conducted in the Spartacus cell ("núcleo Espartaco"), a cell organized in advance by his friend Marcello Ferrada de Noli who for that purpose had entered the Socialist Party a year before. The group became integrated by Miguel Enríquez and his brother Marco Antonio, his old-time friends Bautista van Schouwen Vasey and Marcello Ferrada de Noli (cell's leader), Martin Hernández, and a new university peers Miguel had met at the University of Concepción (Jorge Gutiérrez Correa). All these young men - except Martin Hernández - left the Socialist Party together with Miguel Enríquez in January 1964 amid a stormy National Convention held in the southern city of Concepción.

paragraph: Senator Raúl Ampuero - the national chairman of the party - had long been dealing with Enríquez's public criticism of a party strategy characterised as "reformist" and alien, according to Enríquez, to the working classes' interest. Chairman Ampuero, supported by a majority of the convention delegates, proceeded to marginalize Enríquez and his closest colleagues of the Spartacus cell from the Socialist Party, some of them in strategic leading positions inside the "Comité Regional de la Juventud Socialista". Miguel Enríquez was then 21 years old. In fact, Miguel had already organized (1963) a clandestine fraction called "Movimiento Socialista Revolucionario", or "MSR", integrated by a handful of his peers and his two elder brothers Marco Antonio and Edgardo Enríquez. Edgardo had had the task of developing the MSR fraction at the Socialist Party in Santiago.

paragraph: After the events of February 1964 in Concepción, this entire group, together with other small forces mainly from Santiago de Chile, entered the short-lived political group called "VRM". During the VRM-period (1964–1965) some few new cadres - each of them with previous experiences in other political organizations - were recruited by Miguel's group. Among them Luciano Cruz Aguayo, Sergio Pérez Molina, Jorge Fuentes (nickname Trotsko), Edgardo Condeza, Juan Saavedra Gorriategy, Máximo Jara, and Horacio Vergara Mehrson. All of whom, together with old-timers Marcello Ferrada de Noli, Bautista Van Schowen Vasey, Jorge Gutiérrez Correa, and his brothers Edgardo and Marco A., formed Miguel Enríquez first VRM-group in Concepción, the embryo of MIR.

paragraph: The foundation of MIR took place in August 1965, in a constituent assembly held at the Chilean Anarchist's facilities in Santiago and in which less than a hundred persons participated, mainly from Concepción and Santiago. Here Luciano Cruz participated also for the first time together with Enríquez as militants of the same political organization. The document "La conquista del poder por la vía insureccional" ("the conquest of power through insurrection") with the first political-military theses of MIR and which was elaborated by Miguel Enríquez ("Viriatto"), his brother Marco Antonio ("Bravo") and Marcello Ferrada de Noli ("Atacama") was approved by the foundation congress. Miguel was then elected a member of the new organization's Central Committee, however he became officially MIR's chairman only in 1967. In this post as political leader MIR Miguel Enríquez remained until his death, when he was murdered by Pinochet's forces in October 1974.

paragraph: Section::::Criticism of the Popular Unity government.

paragraph: Under his leadership the MIR provided only critical support to the "Unidad Popular" (UP) (Popular Unity) government headed by Salvador Allende between 1970 and 1973. Highly critical of the reformist role being played by the Communist Party of Chile in the Popular Unity government, the MIR became the object of considerable criticism and attacks by both the left and right of the political establishment. The MIR vehemently attacked the reluctance of the Popular Unity government to openly utilize force to seize private property and establish a socialist regime.

paragraph: As the "U.P." coalition headed by Salvador Allende leaned more to a gradual transition to socialism, abiding by the Laws and current Constitution and trusting that the "neutral political tradition" of the Chilean armed forces would avoid a military intervention, the MIR called for an armed revolution. The MIR, organized, recruited and trained people in para-military camps, preparing them to lead the revolution.

paragraph: Miguel Enriquez's plans for a revolution were interrupted by the September 11 Military Coup.

paragraph: Section::::September 11, 1973 Military Coup.

paragraph: After the September 11, 1973 coup Miguel Enríquez and other members of the MIR refused to accept political asylum in foreign embassies and rejected a condition of exile outside their country – considering the act of fleeing for personal security a form of betrayal to their socialist cause. Instead, they insisted on leading their communist revolution.

paragraph: One of the first and major undertakings of Army Intelligence DINA was to exterminate by all means the leadership of the MIR. The MIR became of particular concern to Pinochet because it had had no formal organization framework and relied on cells; much of its activities were unpredictable and irregular in nature; they had also managed to infiltrate the Chilean Armed Forces. The MIR became the object of Pinochet’s paranoia. As a result, between 1973-1976 most of its young leaders like Miguel Enriquez and Bautista van Schouwen Vasey were killed. The Rettig report (Report of the Chilean National Commission on Truth and Reconciliation) emphasized the repression against the MIR.

paragraph: After the coup d'état by the armed forces against Allende's government on Tuesday 11 September 1973, Miguel was one of the main guerrilla leaders that remained after many fled the country. This proved to be a precarious existence and Miguel was killed in a gun fight with agents of the Dirección de Inteligencia Nacional (DINA) (National Intelligence Directorate) in the slum home where he was carrying out his clandestine operations. He is buried in the Cementerio General de Chile in Santiago and the medicine faculty of the Superior Institute of Medicine of La Habana, Cuba, has been named in his honor.

paragraph: Mordechai Twersky

paragraph: Mordechai Twersky (1770–1837), known as the "Maggid" of Chernobyl, was a Ukrainian rabbi. The son of Rabbi Menachem Nachum Twersky of Chernobyl and the second rebbe of the Chernobyl Hasidic dynasty. (The family surname was originally spelled Twerski). All of his sons served as rebbes, from whom several branches of Hasidism emerged today, including thousands of Chasidim, including Skver, Chernobyl and Rachmastrivka.

paragraph: Section::::Biography.

paragraph: Twersky was born in Chernobyl to Sarah and Rabbi Menachem Nachum of Chernobyl, a disciple of the Baal Shem Tov and the Maggid of Mezeritch and author of the book "Me'or Einayim".

paragraph: Twersky married Chaya Sara the daughter of Rabbi Aharon of Karlin; after her death he married Faiga the daughter of Rabbi Dovid Leykes who was a student of the Baal Shem Tov. He had eight sons and one daughter. His sons became prominent rebbes and were a part of the effort in spreading Chasidus throughout Russia and the Ukraine.

paragraph: Rabbi Mordechai had many Hasidim and many towns appointed him as their "Magid Meisharim". Among his students are Rabbi Yisrael Dov of Villednik and Rabbi Avraham Dov of Avritsch.

paragraph: According to Hasidic thought, Twersky was in charge of sustaining all the Tzadikim Nistarim (hidden tzaddikim) in his generation. Throughout his life Twersky collected large amounts of charity, and before his death he regretted not collecting even more than he did.

paragraph: His thoughts, sermons and discourses were published in his book "Likutei Torah", which was praised by other famous Chassidic leaders. In 2001, the book was reprinted in a revised edition, with the addition of index, called "Likutei Torah Ha-Shalem".

paragraph: Throughout his teachings, Twersky stressed the importance of pure speech and pure thought as a condition for a proper prayer connection. He also spoke of including all Jewish souls in one's prayer, even evil people. By doing so, evil people will stand a better chance of repenting (teshuvah).

paragraph: His nephew (grandson of his brother-in-law Rabbi Avraham of Koristshov) Rabbi Yisrael of Rizhin named one of his sons Mordechai, while Rabbi Mordechai of Chernobyl was still alive, apparently in contradiction to Ashkenazi Jewish tradition which does not name children after living relatives. Asked about this, Rabbi Yisrael replied: "Our uncle from Chernobyl is already a few years above this world, as if he is not in this world." Twersky died a few years later in May 1837, exactly at the same date that Mordechai (Rabbi Mordechai Fayvush of Husiatin) was born, on the 35th day of the Sefiras Haomer.

paragraph: While still alive, Twersky prepared his place of rest on the outskirts of the village of Anatevka (Ignatovka), near Kiev. He selected such a place: "because there is no house of idol worship, and the sound of impure bells won't disturb my rest in the grave". Indeed, his gravesite overlooks pastoral hills and the river.

paragraph: Throughout his life Rabbi Mordechai collected large amounts of money for tzedakah (charity), but before his death he regretted not collecting even more than he did. His thoughts, sermons and discourses were published in his book "Likutei Torah", which was praised for its holiness by other Hasidic leaders. Throughout his teachings, Rabbi Mordechai stressed the importance of pure speech and pure thought as a condition for a proper prayer connection. He also spoke of including all Jewish souls in one's prayer, even evil people. By doing so, evil people will stand a better chance of repenting ("teshuvah").

paragraph: All of Rebbe Mordechai's eight sons became rebbes in different cities.

paragraph: Shangguan Wan'er

paragraph: Shangguan Wan'er (664?–21 July 710) was a concubine/imperial consort to two emperors of the Tang dynasty. Although caught up in court intrigues and executed in 710, she is famous for her talent as a poet, writer and politician.

paragraph: When Wan'er was 13 years old, she became a secretary of Wu Zetian, who was then the empress of Emperor Gaozong and later became an empress in her own right. At age 42, when Wan'er became imperial consort to Wu Zetian's son Li Xian, later known as Emperor Zhongzong, she was given the imperial consort rank of Zhaorong (昭容).

paragraph: Section::::Childhood.

paragraph: Shangguan Wan'er's grandfather Shangguan Yi had become a prominent official early in the reign of Emperor Gaozong and had become chancellor in 662. In 664, Emperor Gaozong was angry at the level of influence that his second wife Empress Wu (later known as Wu Zetian) was exerting over policies, and he consulted Shangguan Yi, who recommended that he depose Empress Wu. However, when Empress Wu discovered this, Emperor Gaozong changed his mind and instead blamed Shangguan Yi. At Empress Wu's instigation, her allies, the chancellor Xu Jingzong falsely accused Shangguan Yi of plotting with Emperor Gaozong's son Li Zhong, on whose staff Shangguan had served at one time, as well as the eunuch Wang Fusheng (王伏勝) (who had earlier reported Empress Wu's wrongdoing to Emperor Gaozong) against Emperor Gaozong. Li Zhong was forced to commit suicide, while Wang, Shangguan Yi, and Shangguan Wan'er's father Shangguan Tingzhi (上官庭芝) were put to death on January 3, 665.

paragraph: After Shangguan Yi's and Shangguan Tingzhi's deaths, Shangguan Wan'er and her mother Lady Zheng—a sister of the official Zheng Xiuyuan (鄭休遠) -- were spared but became slaves in the inner imperial palace. As Shangguan Wan'er grew older, she learned to read and write from her mother. She read extensively and showed a talent for writing prose and poetry at an early age, as well as in matters of civil service regulations. After Empress Wu stumbled upon poems written by the 13-year-old Shangguan Wan'er in the crown prince's study, Empress Wu summoned Shangguan Wan'er and asked her to compose an essay based on a given theme right on the spot. Shangguan Wan'er performed marvellously, and the Empress was so impressed that she appointed Wan'er her personal secretary.

paragraph: Section::::As Wu Zetian's secretary.

paragraph: Later, after Emperor Gaozong's death in 683, Empress Wu became empress dowager and deposed, in succession, her two sons, Emperor Zhongzong and Emperor Ruizong. In 690, she took the title of "emperor" herself, abolishing Tang Dynasty and establishing her own Zhou Dynasty. Particularly after the era "Wansuitongtian" (696-697) Shangguan Wan'er, as Wu Zetian's secretary, was in charge of drafting imperial edicts, and her writing style was said to be exceedingly beautiful. On one occasion, she was supposed to be put to death after disobeying Wu Zetian's order; Wu Zetian, caring for her because of her talent, spared her, but tattooed her face. Thereafter, Wu Zetian usually consulted with her on the officials' petitions and important affairs of state.

paragraph: Section::::As imperial consort.

paragraph: In 705, a coup led by Zhang Jianzhi, Cui Xuanwei, Jing Hui, Huan Yanfan, and Yuan Shuji removed Wu Zetian and returned Emperor Zhongzong to the throne. At that time, Shangguan Wan'er became an imperial consort, as a concubine of Emperor Zhongzong, carrying the rank of "Jieyu" (婕妤), the 14th rank for an imperial consort. (It is not stated in history whether she became his concubine before or after his return to the throne.) Emperor Zhongzong put her in charge of drafting edicts and other imperial orders. She carried on an affair with Emperor Zhongzong's cousin and Wu Zetian's nephew Wu Sansi the Prince of Liang, however, and through her, Wu Sansi became a trusted advisor of Emperor Zhongzong and a lover of Emperor Zhongzong's wife Empress Wei as well. (As a result, Zhang and his cohorts soon lost power and died or were killed in exile.) Subsequently, at her suggestion, Empress Wei submitted formal proposals to Emperor Zhongzong to require the people to observe three-year mourning periods for their mothers who had been divorced by their fathers (previously, such a mourning period was not required for a divorced mother) and reducing the period where a man was considered an adult male (and therefore subject to military and labor conscription) from the ages to 20 to 59, to the ages of 22 to 58, in order to try to gain the people's gratitude. Emperor Zhongzong approved the proposals.

paragraph: Meanwhile, in addition to Empress Wei and Consort Shangguan, Empress Wei's daughter Li Guo'er the Princess Anle became very powerful as well, as she was Emperor Zhongzong's favorite daughter, and she had married Wu Sansi's son Wu Chongxun (武崇訓). She often humiliated her brother Li Chongjun the Crown Prince on account that Li Chongjun was not born of Empress Wei, at times calling him "slave." She also often suggested to Emperor Zhongzong that he depose Li Chongjun and make her crown princess. In summer 707, Li Chongjun's anger erupted, and he, along with the ethnically Mohe general Li Duozuo and Emperor Zhongzong's cousin Li Qianli (李千里) the Prince of Cheng, rose in rebellion, first killing Wu Sansi and Wu Chongxun. He then attacked the palace, seeking to arrest Consort Shangguan. Consort Shangguan, Empress Wei, Li Guo'er, and Emperor Zhongzong were protected by the imperial guards, and when Li Chongjun hesitated at what to do next, his forces collapsed, and he and his cohorts were killed.

paragraph: Meanwhile, Consort Shangguan's nephew Wang Yu (王昱) had been warning her, through her mother Lady Zheng, that her continued behavior in working with the Wus and Empress Wei would eventually bring disaster on her and her clan. Consort Shangguan initially took no heed, but after Li Chongjun had demanded, by name, to arrest her during the 707 coup attempt, she became fearful, and she began to distance herself from Li Guo'er and Empress Wei, aligning herself more with Emperor Zhongzong's sister Princess Taiping. Despite this, she and her mother Lady Zheng, along with Li Guo'er, Empress Wei, the senior ladies in waiting Ladies Chai and Helou, the sorceress Diwu Ying'er (第五英兒), and Lady Zhao of Longxi, were described as powerful and corrupt women at court, selling governmental offices at will. Consort Shangguan and the other imperial consorts were also said to, against regulations, establish mansions outside the palace.

paragraph: In 708, Emperor Zhongzong established an imperial academy, with four imperial scholars, eight assistant scholars, and 12 associate scholars, selecting officials with literary talent to serve as the imperial scholars. He often held feasts that would also serve as literary competitions, and he had Consort Shangguan serve as the judge at these competitions. Late in the year, he promoted her to the rank of "Zhaorong", the sixth rank among imperial consorts. In addition to writing poems in her own name, she was also said to have written poems in the names of Emperor Zhongzong, Empress Wei, Li Guo'er, and Li Guo'er's sister Princess Changning. The poems were said to be beautiful and often recited by people who heard them.

paragraph: By spring 709, Consort Shangguan was having an affair with the official Cui Shi, and on account of that relationship, she recommended him to be a chancellor. Emperor Zhongzong agreed. By summer, however, Cui and another chancellor, Zheng Yin, were charged with corruption. As a result, Cui was set to be exiled to be the military advisor to the prefect of Jiang Prefecture (江州, roughly modern Jiujiang, Jiangxi). However, Consort Shangguan, Li Guo'er, and Li Guo'er's new husband Wu Yanxiu (武延秀) then spoke on his behalf secretly, and Emperor Zhongzong instead made Cui the prefect of Xiang Prefecture (襄州, roughly modern Xiangfan, Hubei). (Zheng, who had been set to be reduced to commoner rank and exiled to Ji Prefecture (吉州, roughly modern Ji'an, Jiangxi), was instead made the military advisor to the prefect of Jiang Prefecture.)

paragraph: Section::::Death.

paragraph: In fall 710, Emperor Zhongzong died suddenly—a death that traditional historians assert to be a poisoning carried out by Empress Wei and Li Guo'er, to allow Empress Wei to seize power and eventually take the throne and Li Guo'er to become crown princess. In the aftermath of Emperor Zhongzong's death, Empress Wei, who initially kept the death secret, tried to consolidate power, while Consort Shangguan and Princess Taiping were consulting each other in posthumously drafting a will for Emperor Zhongzong. Under their plan, Emperor Zhongzong's youngest son Li Chongmao the Prince of Wen would inherit the throne; Empress Wei would serve as empress dowager and regent, assisted by Li Dan the Prince of Xiang (the former Emperor Ruizong). Once the will was promulgated, however, two chancellors closely aligned with Empress Wei—her cousin Wei Wen and Zong Chuke—objected and ordered the will revised, and Empress Dowager Wei became sole regent for Li Chongmao (Emperor Shang), without participation by Li Dan in the regency.

paragraph: Meanwhile, Zong, Wu Yanxiu, and other officials Zhao Lüwen (趙履溫) and Ye Jingneng (葉靜能), were advocating to Empress Dowager Wei that she take the throne. They also believed that Li Dan and Princess Taiping were in the way and should be removed. The official Cui Riyong leaked their plans to Li Dan's son Li Longji the Prince of Linzi, and Li Longji quickly formed a plan with Princess Taiping and her son Xue Chongjian (薛崇簡) to act first. Less than a month after Emperor Zhongzong's death, they launched a coup, quickly killing Empress Wei, Li Guo'er, and Empress Wei's clan members. When Li Longji's soldiers, commanded by his associate Liu Youqiu, reached the pavilion where Consort Shangguan lived, Consort Shangguan came out of the pavilion to greet Liu and Li Longji, presenting to them the original will of Emperor Zhongzong that she had drafted, seeking to be spared. Li Longji refused to spare her, however, and she was dragged out and beheaded.

paragraph: Section::::Posthumous recognition.

paragraph: Soon, under the suggestion by Princess Taiping, Li Longji, and Li Longji's brother Li Chengqi the Prince of Song, Emperor Shang was removed from the throne, and Li Dan took the throne again. In 711, he restored Consort Shangguan's title as "Zhaorong", and gave her the posthumous name of Wenhui (meaning "civil and benevolent"). Sometime after Emperor Ruizong in turn yielded the throne to Li Longji (who took the throne as Emperor Xuanzong), Emperor Xuanzong ordered that Consort Shangguan's works be collected into a 20-volume collection, and he had the chancellor Zhang Yue write the preface to the collection.

paragraph: Section::::Tomb.

paragraph: In September 2013 it was announced that archeologists in China had discovered the tomb of Shangguan Wan'er near the airport at Xianyang, Shaanxi province. The tomb was badly damaged, perhaps deliberately according to Chinese archeologists, and only a very few burial goods were discovered inside, including some sculptures of people riding horses. The identity of the tomb's occupant was determined from an epitaph discovered in the tomb, which was inscribed "Epitaph of the late imperial consort (Zhaorong) Madam Shangguan of the Great Tang dynasty" (大唐故昭容上官氏銘) on its lid.

paragraph: Toryn Green

paragraph: Toryn Green (born November 3, 1975) is an American rock singer and actor. He is the former vocalist for hard-rock band Fuel, as well as for Emphatic, and For The Taking. He also was the touring lead vocalist for the band Apocalyptica and performed in both of its 2008 US Worlds Collide Tours.

paragraph: Green has recorded and released two full-length studio albums: "Angels & Devils" (Epic, 2007) with Fuel, and "Another Life" (Epochal Artists, 2013) with Emphatic.

paragraph: For 2016, Green will be making his acting debut playing the villain's right-hand man Beckett in a skateboard-themed dystopian fantasy/sci-fi action film titled "Skate God", written by Alexander Garcia and directed by Art Camacho. He is also co-writing a song for the film soundtrack with Brian Vodinh of 10 Years. The film will be shot in Louisiana and is slated for release in June 2017. Green has also released independently four solo singles, titled "Up To You", "Devil Standing Alone", "Lost in the Light", and "Takedown" digitally worldwide.

paragraph: Section::::Early life.

paragraph: Toryn was raised in Palmer, Alaska, where he graduated from Colony High School in 1994. Growing up Green was inspired by bands like Stone Temple Pilots, Bush, Metallica, Tool, and Fuel. His father was very musical and he says he gained a lot of inspiration through him. He used to sing with his father since he was a small boy, but his first public solo performance was at Alaska State Fair. He moved to California in October 1998 to pursue career in music.

paragraph: Section::::Career.

paragraph: Green took his songwriting to the stage in his first band "Patience Worth", with band members Orion Rainz, Ryan Giles, and Cesar Guevarra. They recorded a few songs together, but eventually the band was moving in different creative directions. With his next band, Southern California rock band Something To Burn, Green won a Rock Beijing Global competition and was invited to play to thousands at the Midi festival in Beijing in October 2005. Two months later they represented America in the Worldwide Battle of the Bands held in Hong Kong. With STB Green recorded an EP entitled "The Incinerator", which was released in April 2006.

paragraph: Section::::Career.:With Fuel and Apocalyptica.

paragraph: Green was chosen the lead vocalist of hard rock band Fuel from over 1000 submissions on worldwide website auditions held in early 2006 to replace Brett Scallions. He recorded and submitted his version of the song "Hemorrhage (In My Hands)" two hours after hearing about the open website audition from a friend. Thinking that wasn't enough to stand out, he went on to buy instrumental versions of "Bad Day" and "Innocent", made a medley out of those songs with "Hemorrhage", and submitted it under different name. In the end, both his entries were listed among twelve finalists.

paragraph: While auditioning for Fuel, Green met Scott Weiland (Velvet Revolver, Stone Temple Pilots) who got excited over the recording he had recently done with Something To Burn and offered them a deal through his label, Softdrive Records. However, around the same time Fuel made their offer, and Green had to decide between two contracts.

paragraph: Green signed with Fuel in July 2006, before entering the studio to record the band's next album for Epic Records from August to November 2006. The official announcement of Green being the next frontman for Fuel wasn't made until April 19, 2007 on Extra TV show, exactly a year after the live auditions in Los Angeles. He co-wrote "Halos of the Son" with Jeff Abercrombie and former "Patience Worth" bandmate, Ryan Giles, and released it on their album "Angels & Devils" on August 7, 2007. The band toured in support of the album through early 2008 and appeared live on "The Tonight Show with Jay Leno" and TLC’s season finale of "LA Ink", where Green was featured getting ambigram tattoo on his forearm.

paragraph: When Fuel went into hiatus in 2008, Green joined Finnish cello rock band Apocalyptica as their touring lead vocalist on both US legs of Worlds Collide tour, and again at Apocalyptica's US television debut on NBC's "Last Call with Carson Daly".

paragraph: Section::::Career.:For The Taking.

paragraph: After Fuel and Apocalyptica, Green began collaborations with different co-writers around the country, including Brian Vodinh of 10 Years. Wanting to have a band behind him on some of the songs that he was writing, Green teamed up with the remnants of Long Island hard rockers A Farewell Fire (Eddie Raccioppi, Mike Zagel, & Ray Rossler) who had recently split with their singer. The new band For The Taking played their debut gig at The Music Mill in Indianapolis October 12, 2009. The band continued writing and collaborating with a number of co-writers, including Corey Lowery of Eye Empire, Tommy Henriksen, and Skidd Mills. A couple of lineup changes later the band was composed of Green (lead vocals), Raccioppi (guitar, backing vocals), Joe Meyer (ex-Blameshift, bass), and James Miller (ex-Blameshift, drums).

paragraph: For The Taking self-released "Blackout EP" on Amazon and iTunes on September 17, 2011, along with music video for the single "Lie To Me", directed by Brett Bortle. "Lie To Me" is a co-write with Corey Lowery.

paragraph: Two songs from the 4-song demo that Green wrote with Brian Vodinh before forming the band, "Time is Running Out" and "Takedown", are featured on the MMA fighting movie "" soundtrack. Due to the popularity of NBD2, For The Taking released "Time is Running Out" as a single on iTunes on December 8, 2011.

paragraph: On January 27, 2012, before the show at Sky Bar Lounge in Indianapolis, For The Taking's trailer was broken into and $5000 worth of band equipment, including all guitars and merchandise were stolen. The band had to perform that night with rented gear. A week later, after anonymous tip informing of photos from the stolen property displayed at a Facebook page of a pawn shop, a local man was arrested in connection to the band theft and receiving stolen property. Only two of the missing guitars and some other equipment were discovered from his home.

paragraph: On November 19, 2012, Green announced on the band's Facebook page that For The Taking is placed "into an indefinite hiatus". The band played their last shows in New York end of June 2012. Green joined Emphatic, and Eddie Raccioppi and Joe Meyer continued with Eddie's brainchild, a Long Island alternative rock band I Ignite.

paragraph: Section::::Career.:Emphatic.

paragraph: Green was the new lead vocalist for the Omaha-based hard-rock band Emphatic, replacing the former singer Patrick Wilson, as announced on Green's Twitter and the band's Facebook on October 25, 2012. The band released a record titled "Another Life" on October 22, 2013. The single "Remember Me", written by Justin McCain, Toryn Green, and Sahaj, impacted radio on July 30, 2013, and was released on iTunes August 20, 2013. Both the album and the single charted in the Top 30 on Billboard and Mediabase rock charts, and the band had plans of touring in support of the album in 2014. However, Green didn't join Emphatic on tour with RED in February, but announced his departure from the band instead, stating creative differences with founder Justin McCain.

paragraph: Green is currently focusing on his undergrad degree and heading into the field of Medicine while continuing with his music and acting career. In 2015, Green reunited with his former bandmates from Something To Burn for a country music project titled OUT WEST.

paragraph: Section::::Appearances.

paragraph: On the October 30, 2007 episode of LA Ink, Green received an ambigram tattoo from Kim Saigh on his left forearm. Both of Toryn's Ambigram tattoos (Angel/Devil and Sinner/Saint) were designed by Ambigram Artist Mark Palmer of WowTattoos.

paragraph: Toryn performed the national anthem for the NASCAR Championship race in Homestead Florida in the fall of 2007.

paragraph: Toryn Green was touring lead vocalist for Apocalyptica, performing their number 1 hit, "I Don't Care" on NBC's "Last Call with Carson Daly". It was the band's US television debut which aired on October 31, 2008.

paragraph: In 2008, Green appeared in "Distracted Driving", an educational video for the State of Illinois, to promote distracted driving awareness to teenagers.

paragraph: Between tours, Toryn performs acoustic cover sets with Ronny Paige (touring bassist for Fuel and lead guitarist of Forever Oeuvre) and Chad Szeliga (drummer of Breaking Benjamin and Forever Oeuvre). They are very intimate sets and tend to be more like a sing along with his fans.

paragraph: On October 12, 2009, Toryn made the debut live performance of his new band "For The Taking" during a private gala celebrating the grand reopening of The Music Mill in Indianapolis, Indiana with local band New Addiction. "Hemorrhage" was the only Fuel song played during this show.

paragraph: Giuliano Ghelli

paragraph: Giuliano Ghelli (May 10, 1944 – February 15, 2014) was an Italian painter who produced several series of works, each rooted in the practice of drawing. An autodidact, Ghelli's early influences were informalism and geometric abstraction, from which he developed a cartoon-like style of figuration inspired by pop art and Surrealism. Ghelli was said to draw on affect over intellect, working personal interests and relations, and, later, dreams into his pictures; the Italian word "racconto" (narrative or story) often appears in the artist's titles.

paragraph: Section::::Debut and early work (1962-1978).

paragraph: At age 17 Ghelli began to frequent the studios of several contemporary Florentine painters and soon met the avant-garde art dealer Fiamma Vigo (). Through Vigo's "Numero" gallery, Ghelli discovered a community of artists and writers who strongly influenced his approach to painting. Ghelli debuted in 1963 with two works on canvas in a group exhibition at Vigo's "Numero" gallery in Milan. He continued to exhibit his work in Vigo's galleries in Florence and Venice into the late 1960s.

paragraph: In 1972 Ghelli signed a contract with the "Sangallo" gallery in Florence; the associated stipend allowed him to paint full-time.

paragraph: Section::::Debut and early work (1962-1978).:"Il portapaesaggi" (The Landscape Carrier).

paragraph: From 1973 Ghelli's works tended increasingly towards figuration, with crudely drawn elements of landscape (hills, patches of sky, a line of trees at the horizon), road signage, mechanical elements and humanoid-robot figures. In 1974 he published the pocket volume "Il portapaesaggi" with text by the contemporary art historian Lara-Vinca Masini.

paragraph: In 1975 Ghelli's paintings were exhibited in New York and Los Angeles and in 1977 Ghelli returned to New York to exhibit his work and travel cross-country. Starting in 1978 Arezzo-based Novart produced a line of jewelry based on "Il portapaesaggi".

paragraph: Section::::Sentiment and narrative (1980-1989).

paragraph: From 1980 a "narrative dimension" emerged in Ghelli's prints and paintings. The sparsely-drawn hills, robots, and signage of the previous decade are joined by envelopes, houses, and the occasional hand-written phrase. In her text describing the paintings in Ghelli's 1983 Ferrara exhibition the critic Maria Luisa Frisa noted "The theme of romantic love ... in all its facets: desire, jealously, abandonment, distance. The interplay of narrative, landscape and tecnological artifact in Ghelli's work was commented by the art historian Lara-Vinca Masini in her 1989 "Arte Contemporanea", noting, in Ghelli's paintings, a "lucid, fable-like transcription of technology and robots."

paragraph: Section::::Mature work (1990–2014).

paragraph: Section::::Mature work (1990–2014).:Mechanical themes: Leonardo and Mercedes-Benz.

paragraph: In 1990 Ghelli was introduced to the Leonardo scholar Carlo Pedretti, then professor of art history at UCLA. From meetings with Pedretti followed a set of silkscreens and then paintings inspired by Leonardo da Vinci, culminating in the 1992 exhibition "In viaggio con Leonardo" in Milan. Ghelli would continue to reference Leonardo's work, in particular the illustrations of the Codex Leicester, in several works from the 1990s onwards.

paragraph: Ghelli's Leonardo paintings were noticed by Jochen Prange, the head of Mercedes-Benz Italia S.p.A., and led to a commission for twenty paintings for the company's new Rome headquarters, which hosted a one-man exhibition for the artist in 1995.

paragraph: Section::::Mature work (1990–2014).:The "Aborigeni," "Migrazioni," and "Esercito di terracotta".

paragraph: Many of Ghelli's canvases from the late 1990s are densely packed with color and form. In his text "Ghelli's 'Horror Vacui'", Carlo Pedretti characterized this period's style as "painting that does not allow empty space" linking it to the workings of the subconscious and dreams.

paragraph: In 2000, a trip to Sydney, Australia and a reading of Bruce Chatwin's novel The Songlines led Ghelli to paint series of canvases referencing Aboriginal symbols and Dreamtime. In this same period the artist painted a series of works on paper and canvas depicting shoals of fish, each with the title ""Migrazione"". These series were cited by some critics as evidencing Ghelli's interest in dreams and in the ancestral and unchanging.

paragraph: Ghelli's "Esercito di terracotta" (Terracotta Army) resulted from the artist extending his practice of painting fabric tailors busts to sculpting and decorating pre-fabricated, fresh clay forms. Through carving, stamping, and the application molded shapes, Ghelli created approximately fifty small terracotta female busts (each 25 cm high) soon followed by a larger series (about 75 cm high). Some journalists and public figures associated the work to the partially-excavated Terracotta Army of Xi'an.

paragraph: Section::::Mature work (1990–2014).:The ""Cantiere"" and the "Segreti".

paragraph: In 2011 the artist created an art lab for secondary school students called the ""Cantiere Giuliano Ghelli"" (Ghelli work site). Concurrently, Ghelli had been experimenting with twine wrapped around his pieces, one of which he brought into the art lab. Ghelli invited the students to "write on a small piece of canvas … a phrase no one would ever read". Each such piece was then "folded ... soaked in glue, placed under the twine and covered with paint." The resulting painted tailor's bust belongs to a series of mixed media works called ""Segreti"" (Secrets) made between 2011 and 2014.

paragraph: Bill Hosokawa

paragraph: William Kumpai Hosokawa (January 30, 1915 – November 9, 2007) was a Japanese American writer and journalist. While interned at the Heart Mountain Relocation Center, he was the editor of the concentration camp's newspaper, "The Heart Mountain Sentinel". After being freed from the camp in 1943, Hosokawa worked as a columnist and editor at "The Denver Post" for 38 years. He retired from the newspaper industry in 1992, at the age of 77.

paragraph: Hosokawa was also a prolific author. His best-selling book "Nisei: The Quiet Americans" (1969) chronicles the experiences of second-generation Japanese Americans, known as "Nisei". Hosokawa published his final work, "Colorado's Japanese Americans: From 1886 to the Present" (2005), when he was 90 years old. His other books include "Out of the Frying Pan" (1998), "Thirty-Five Years in the Frying Pan" (1978), "Thunder in the Rockies" (1976), "The Two Worlds of Jim Yoshida" (1972), and "The Uranium Age" (1955).

paragraph: Hosokawa was a recipient of the 2007 Civil Rights Award from the Anti-Defamation League.

paragraph: Section::::Early life/Middle Life.

paragraph: Bill Hosokawa was born on January 30, 1915, in Seattle, Washington. His parents were recent immigrants from Japan. His father, Setsugo Hosokawa, who immigrated from Hiroshima, Japan, in 1899 at the age of 15, worked as a migrant farm worker and a railroad section hand in Montana. Hosokawa's parents eventually settled in Seattle.

paragraph: Hosokawa graduated from Garfield High School in Seattle. He enrolled at the University of Washington, where he earned his bachelor's degree in journalism in 1937. In 1936, while a student at UW, Hosokawa's professor and adviser strongly recommended that he abandon his journalism career goals, because no newsroom would hire a Japanese American.

paragraph: Section::::Career.

paragraph: Hosokawa and his new wife, Alice Miyake, moved to Asia in 1938 because he was unable to land a job at any major metropolitan newspaper in the United States. He found a job working at an English-language newspaper in Singapore. He was later employed by a magazine in Shanghai, China.

paragraph: Hosokawa's wife returned to the U.S. in anticipation of the birth of their first child. Hosokawa did not see his son, Michael, until the baby was 14 months old. The family lived in Seattle in 1941, just before the Japanese attack on Pearl Harbor. Soon after the attack, President Franklin D. Roosevelt signed Executive Order 9066. As a result, Bill Hosokawa, his wife, and the couple's infant son were among 120,000 Japanese Americans on the West Coast who were sent to Japanese internment camps during World War II.

paragraph: The Hosokawa family were sent first to an assembly center at the Puyallup, Washington fairgrounds where the family, along with others from the Seattle area, lived in horse stalls while the camps were being built. The family was moved to the Heart Mountain Relocation Center in Wyoming when he was 27 years old. Hosokawa's later writings and news reports were influenced by his time spent interned with fellow second-generation Japanese Americans, who were known as "Nisei", and their children, such as his son, who were known as "Sansei". Since Hosokawa had journalism and writing experience, he was appointed the editor of the Heart Mountain Relocation Camp newspaper, "The Heart Mountain Sentinel".

paragraph: Hosokawa and his family were released from the internment camp in 1943, so he could work as a copy editor at "The Des Moines Register". However, the experience of internment stayed with Hosokawa. For more than forty years Hosokawa published a column in the "Pacific Citizen" entitled "From The Frying Pan". His column offered his personal observations on the internment of Japanese Americans. His topics included bigotry and what he called "native fascism." His later entries sometimes focused on parenthood and travel, but he usually stayed on the topic of discrimination.

paragraph: Hosokawa finally received a position with a major metropolitan newsroom after World War II, when he accepted a job with the "Denver Post". He served as a war correspondent for the "Denver Post" during the Korean War and Vietnam War. He also worked at the "Post" as a columnist, associate editor, and assistant managing editor at the paper. He also held the post of the editor of the "Denver Post"'s Sunday magazine for twenty-five years.

paragraph: He left the "Denver Post" in 1984 and took a position as the reader ombudsman at the "Rocky Mountain News", which was the archrival of the "Denver Post". He remained with the "Rocky Mountain News" for eight years, until his retirement from the newspaper business in 1992.

paragraph: Hosokawa worked to promote opportunities from Nisei and Sansei Japanese Americans during his career. He often helped Japanese Americans, as well as recent immigrants, find jobs and counseling. According to the "Rocky Mountain News", Hosokawa once even gave away his living room couch to a couple who needed it. He also worked to promote positive Japan – United States relations. He served as the Honorary Consul General of Japan for Colorado from 1976 until 1999.

paragraph: Section::::Career as a writer.

paragraph: Hosokawa's books and writings were deeply influenced by his experience as a Japanese American in the internment camps during World War II. His first major work, "Nisei: The Quiet Americans", which explored this experience, became a national bestseller when it was published in 1969. He also focused some of his writings on his love of newspapers. His 1976 book, "Thunder in the Rockies", chronicled the history of the "Denver Post". His last book, "Colorado's Japanese Americans: From 1886 to the Present", was published in 2005 when he was 90 years old.

paragraph: Some of his writings were inscribed onto the National Japanese American Memorial in Washington D.C. when the monument was dedicated in 2000.

paragraph: Additionally, the Japan Society of Colorado sponsors a fellowship in the name of Bill and Alice Hosokawa's name.

paragraph: Section::::Death.

paragraph: Bill Hosokawa died on November 9, 2007, at the age of 92 at the home of his daughter, Christie Harveson, in Sequim, Washington, where he had lived for the previous four months. Hosokawa's wife, Alice, died in 1998, while his youngest son, Peter, died in 2006. He was survived by his two daughters, Christie and Susan, his son, Michael, his brother, Robert Hosokawa, as well as eight grandchildren and seven great grandchildren. In a column published in the "Denver Post" on November 22, 2007, Hosokawa's colleague Fred Brown called him a "champion of civility, dignity and human rights".

paragraph: A memorial service for Bill Hosokawa was held at the Gates Concert Hall at the University of Denver on February 17, 2008. The list of speakers honoring Hosokawa included Colorado Governor Bill Ritter and Ryozo Kato, the Ambassador of Japan to the United States.
