paragraph: Gertrude Prokosch Kurath

paragraph: Gertrude Prokosch Kurath (1903–1992) was an American dancer, researcher, author, and ethnomusicologist. She researched and wrote extensively on the study of dance, co-authoring several books and writing hundreds of articles. Her main areas of interest were ethnomusicology and dance ethnology, with some of her best known works being "Panorama of Dance Ethnology" in "Current Anthropology" (1960), the book "Music and dance of the Tewa Pueblos" co-written with Antonio Garcia (1970), and "Iroquois Music and Dance: ceremonial arts of two Seneca Longhouses" (1964), in the "Smithsonian Institution Bureau of American Ethnology bulletin". She made substantial contributions to the study of Amerindian dance, and to dance theory. From 1958 to January 1972 she was dance editor for the journal "Ethnomusicology".

paragraph: Section::::Biography.

paragraph: Gertrude Prokosch was born on August 19, 1903, in Chicago, Illinois. She graduated from Bryn Mawr College, receiving a BA in 1922, and an MA in art history in 1928, concurrently studying music and dance in Berlin, Philadelphia, New York, and Providence, Rhode Island from 1922 to 1928. She then studied music and dance at the Yale School of Drama at Yale University, from 1929 to 1930. She danced under the stage name of Tula, starting in 1922. From 1923 to 1946 she was a teacher, performer, producer, and choreographer of modern dance. In the mid-1940s, she turned her focus to the study of American Indian dance, doing extensive fieldwork on the musical traditions of Michigan's Anishinaabe and others. She was awarded grants for field research by the Wenner-Gren Foundation from 1949–1973, the American Philosophical Society from 1951–1965, and the National Museum of Canada (1962–1965, 1969–1970). She wrote about Iroquois, Pueblo, Six Nations, and Great Lakes Indian dances, as well as on the subjects of dance theory and methods. In 1962, she founded the Dance Research Center in Ann Arbor, Michigan.

paragraph: Her other scholarly interests included the fields of folk liturgy and rock music. Robert Commanday of the "San Francisco Chronicle" praised her addition to "The New Grove Dictionary of American Music", saying, "For the first time in the country's history, a comprehensive survey of its music and musicians is available in a single reference work. It encompasses the spectrum, the fields of concert, opera, traditional, folk and popular music, and areas related to and touching on American music in every conceivable way - industry, technology, education, religion, literature... Two treatments must be singled out as unique and outstanding. One is the 20-page study on "Indians, American" by Bruno Nettl and Charlotte Heth on the music, Gertrude Kurath on the dance. In addition, there are separate articles on the music of nearly 40 tribes and tribal groups. Equally impressive is the 22-page article on 'European-American Music', treating in sequence the musical cultures and influences here of 19 European countries."

paragraph: Kurath died on August 1, 1992, just a few months after the death of her husband, linguist Hans Kurath. Her archives are maintained at Cross-Cultural Dance Resources in Arizona, which published her work "Half a Century of Dance Research". The Iroquois materials are housed in the Woodlands Cultural Centre in Brantford, Ontario.

paragraph: Rob Barrett

paragraph: Rob Barrett III (born January 29, 1969) is the rhythm guitarist for the death metal band Cannibal Corpse. He played with the band from 1993 to 1997 and rejoined in 2005. He has cited Gary Moore, Malcolm Young, Randy Rhoads, Eddie Van Halen, Tony Iommi and Steve Vai, among others, as his influences. He currently resides in Tampa, Florida.

paragraph: Section::::Career.

paragraph: Barrett was born in Buffalo, New York. He started his professional career in 1990 when he formed the band Solstice with drummer Alex Marquez and guitar player Dennis Muñoz. The band recorded a demo in 1991 produced by Jim Morris and signed a record deal with the German label SPV/Steamhammer. In 1992 they released their debut album entitled "Solstice". That same year, Barrett and Marquez decided to join Malevolent Creation, putting Solstice on hiatus. They took part on the recording of Retribution and toured with the band.

paragraph: Section::::Career.:Cannibal Corpse.

paragraph: In 1993 Barrett was contacted by Alex Webster and asked to join Cannibal Corpse, shortly after the recording of "Tomb of the Mutilated", as a fill-in for Bob Rusay. He stayed with the band for the subsequent tours and eventually became a permanent member. He recorded the 1994 album "The Bleeding" and the 1996 album "Vile". He also made a brief cameo appearance with the band in the 1994 film "" starring Jim Carrey. In 1997 Barrett left Cannibal Corpse after an argument over musical differences between him and the other band members. While he was replaced by Pat O'Brien, Barrett rejoined Malevolent Creation in 1998 and stayed with the band for 6 years. In 2005 Barrett expressed to the members of Cannibal Corpse his desire to come back to the band and after careful consideration Barrett was finally welcomed back, replacing Jack Owen. Since then he has been featured on the albums "Kill", "Evisceration Plague", "Torture", "A Skeletal Domain" and "Red Before Black".

paragraph: Section::::Career.:HatePlow.

paragraph: In 1994 Barrett formed the death metal band HatePlow with guitarist Phil Fasciana and late drummer "Crazy" Larry Hawke, both members of Malevolent Creation. Although HatePlow was intended initially as mere a fun side-project, the trio recorded a four-song demo that enjoyed a wide spread throughout the underground trading circuit. After his departure from Cannibal Corpse Barrett extended his commitment to HatePlow and participated in the recording of the albums "Everybody Dies" and "The Only Law Is Survival" which came out in 1998 and 2000 respectively. In 2004 he left HatePlow.

paragraph: Section::::Career.:Collaborations and side-projects.

paragraph: Since the 2000s Barrett has made a few guest appearances, providing extra guitar playing for bands such as Eulogy, Hollenthon, Infernäl Mäjesty, Pro-Pain and Unearthed. In 2005 Barrett joined in on the recording of the Roadrunner United album The All-Star Sessions where he played guitar on the tracks Annihilation by the Hands of God and Constitution Down.

paragraph: Section::::Equipment.

paragraph: Section::::Equipment.:Guitars.

paragraph: Barrett is currently endorsed by Dean Guitars and uses their custom guitars, mainly Cadillac's but also V's and ML's. All of his guitars are equipped with an EMG set and are tuned to Bb and Ab standard. Around 2007 Dean Guitars produced a signature model in limited numbers called the Cadi-Kill. In the past Barrett used to play on a Gibson Les Paul, a Jackson Dinky and a Charvel 750 XL.

paragraph: Section::::Equipment.:Amplifiers.

paragraph: Like O'Brien, Barrett uses Mesa Boogie amplifiers, such as the Dual Rectifier, the Triple Rectifier and, more recently, Mark V. For cabinets, he uses Crate and Mesa Boogie 4 x 12", which are loaded with Celestion Vintage 30 speakers. Before settling for Mesa Boogie, Barrett used Crate and Marshall amplifiers.

paragraph: Section::::Equipment.:Effects and accessories.

paragraph: Barrett runs a few pedals, namely a Boss NS-2 Noise Suppressor, MT-2 Metal Zone, TU-2 Chromatic Tuner and a Maxon ST-9 pro+ Super tube. The units are connected with Monster cables.

paragraph: Selim Khimshiashvili

paragraph: Selim Paşa (1755 – 3 June 1815) was a Muslim Georgian nobleman of the Khimshiashvili clan and a derebey of Upper Adjara under the Ottoman suzerainty, but with considerable autonomy. His seizure of power in the Pashalik of Akhaltsikh and attempts to bring all of "Ottoman Georgia" under his rule led to a fallout with the sultan's government and a war which ended in Selim's death.

paragraph: Selim Bey was a son and successor of Abdullah Bey, a derebey ("the lord of the valleys") of Upper Adjara, who was killed at Aketi during his raid against the neighboring Georgian principality of Guria in 1784. Selim Bey cherished an ambition to bring all of the Ottoman possessions in Georgia under his autonomous rule. In 1802, he capitalized on a crisis in Akhaltsikh and seized control of it, declaring himself a new pasha. His adversary, Şerif Paşa, was able to dispossess him in June 1809, but Selim staged a comeback in 1812. His staunch opposition to the central Ottoman government led him into clandestine negotiations with the Russians through Mamia V Gurieli, Prince of Guria, whose sister was married to Selim's son Abdi Bey. In 1815, the sultan ordered him be deposed and put to death for treason. As 15,000 Ottoman troops under Pehlivan İbrâhim Paşa, "serasker" of Erzurum, approached, Selim fled Akhaltsikhe to the mountains of Adjara and entrenched himself in the castle of Khikhani, which fell after a two-month-long siege on 31 May 1815. Selim Paşa was beheaded on 3 June 1815. Selim's four sons—Abdi (Abdullah; 1786–1859), Ahmed (1781–1836), Hüseyin, and Dede (Dursun)—took shelter in Guria until the Turkish punitive force left Adjara in 1818. Subsequently, they came to rule several areas in "Ottoman Georgia": Abdi Bey in Shavsheti (Şavşat), Ahmed in Upper Adjara, Hüseyin in the Andzavi valley, and Dede in Taoskari.

paragraph: In today's Adjara, Selim is remembered as a hero. His native village Nigazeuli hosts his museum and the day of his memory, Selimoba, is marked annually in June. There is a street named after Selim Khimshiashvili in Adjara's main city, Batumi, where his statue was also unveiled in 2015.

After graduating, he served with the 1st Regiment of Foot Guards as an ensign from 1784–86, then sat in the Commons as Member of Parliament (MP) for Truro from 1792–96. He returned to the military in 1796 as a Lt.-Col. in the North Hampshire Militia and became Lord Lieutenant of Hampshire in 1798.

On 8 August 1839, he added the name of Burroughs to his own, when he inherited the property of Dame Sarah Salusbury ("née" Burroughs), under the terms of her will. Lord Winchester died in 1843 and his titles passed to his eldest son, John.

paragraph: Donyale Luna

paragraph: Donyale Luna (August 31, 1945 – May 17, 1979) was an American model and actress. Generally cited as “the first black supermodel”, Luna was the first African American model to appear on the cover of the British edition of "Vogue", in May 1966.

paragraph: She also appeared in several underground films by Andy Warhol, and had roles in "Qui êtes-vous, Polly Maggoo?" (1966), and most notably as Enotea in the 1969 Federico Fellini film "Fellini Satyricon" as well as Otto Preminger's "Skidoo", alongside Groucho Marx.

paragraph: Section::::Early life and education.

paragraph: She was born Peggy Ann Freeman in Detroit, Michigan, to Nathaniel A. and Peggy Freeman (née Hertzog). She was the youngest of three daughters. In January 1965, her mother fatally shot her father in self-defense as he was reportedly abusive.

paragraph: Despite the parentage stated on her birth certificate, she insisted that her biological father was a man with the surname Luna and that her mother was Indigenous Mexican and of Afro-Egyptian lineage. According to Luna, one of her grandmothers was reportedly a former Irish actress who married a black interior decorator. Whether any of this background is true is uncertain. Luna's sister later described her as being "a very weird child, even from birth, living in a wonderland, a dream". She would routinely create fantasies about her background and herself.

paragraph: As a teen, she attended Cass Technical High School, where she studied journalism and was in the school choir. It was during this time that she began calling herself "Donyale". She was later described by friends and classmates as being "kind of a kook".

paragraph: Section::::Career.

paragraph: Section::::Career.:Modeling.

paragraph: After being discovered by the photographer David McCabe, she moved from Detroit to New York City to pursue a modeling career. In January 1965, a sketch of Luna appeared on the cover of "Harper's Bazaar". She became the first black model to appear on the cover of a "Vogue" magazine, the March 1966 British issue, shot by photographer David Bailey.

paragraph: According to the "New York Times", she was under exclusive contract to the photographer Richard Avedon for a year at the beginning of her career.

paragraph: An article in "Time" magazine published on April 1, 1966, "The Luna Year", described her as "a new heavenly body who, because of her striking singularity, promises to remain on high for many a season. Donyale Luna, as she calls herself, is unquestionably the hottest model in Europe at the moment. She is only 20, a Negro, hails from Detroit, and is not to be missed if one reads "Harper's Bazaar", "Paris Match", Britain's "Queen", the British, French or American editions of "Vogue"."

paragraph: By the 1970s, however, Luna's modeling career began to decline due to her drug use, eccentric behavior and tendency to be difficult. A designer for whom Luna once worked said, "She [Luna] took a lot of drugs and never paid her bills". Fellow model Beverly Johnson later said, "[Luna] doesn't wear shoes winter or summer. Ask her where she's from—Mars? She went up and down the runways on her hands and knees. She didn't show up for bookings. She didn't have a hard time, she made it hard for herself."

paragraph: Luna appeared in a nude photo layout in the April 1975 issue of "Playboy"; the photographer was her husband, Luigi Cazzaniga.

paragraph: Section::::Career.:Acting.

paragraph: During the late 1960s and early 1970s, Luna appeared in several films.

paragraph: She appeared in several movies produced by Andy Warhol. These included "Screen Test: Donyale Luna" (1964), in which critic Wayne Koestenbaum described Luna as "pure diva, presenting a delicious mobile excess of mannerism"; "Camp" (1965), and "Donyale Luna" (1967), a 33-minute color film in which the model starred as Snow White.

paragraph: In the 1969 Federico Fellini film "Fellini Satyricon", she portrayed the witch Oenothea, "who", according to one commentator, "in a trade-off with a wizard long ago ended up with fire between her legs. And it's real fire too, because Fellini shows us a scene in which a long line of foolish-looking peasants wait with unlit torches at Oenothea's bed. When their time comes, each devoutly places his torch between her legs to her sex, and, Poof."

paragraph: Luna also appeared in "The Rolling Stones Rock and Roll Circus", the Otto Preminger comedy "Skidoo" (in which she was featured as the mistress of crime boss "God", who was portrayed by Groucho Marx), and the documentary "Tonite Let's All Make Love in London".

paragraph: Luna starred as the title character in the 1972 Italian film "Salomé" by director Carmelo Bene.

paragraph: Section::::Personal life.

paragraph: Section::::Personal life.:Racial identity issues.

paragraph: Throughout her life and career, Luna claimed to be of various, mixed ethnic backgrounds, often playing down her African American ancestry. According to the journalist Judy Stone, who wrote a profile of Luna for "The New York Times" in 1968, Luna was "secretive, mysterious, contradictory, evasive, mercurial, and insistent upon her multiracial lineage—exotic, chameleon strands of Indigenous-Mexican, Indonesian, Irish, and, last but least escapable, African". In London's "Sunday Times Magazine", Harold Carlton hailed her as "the completely New Image of the Negro woman. Fashion finds itself in an instrumental position for changing history, however slightly, for it is about to bring out into the open the veneration, the adoration, the idolization of the Negro".

paragraph: When Stone asked her about whether her appearances in Hollywood films would benefit the cause of black actresses, Luna answered, "If it brings about more jobs for Mexicans, Asians, Native Americans, Africans, groovy. It could be good, it could be bad. I couldn't care less."

paragraph: After her death, Luna’s widower Italian photographer Luigi Cazzaniga said that Luna self identified as a “mulatta”.

paragraph: Section::::Personal life.:Romantic relationships.

paragraph: In the mid-1960s, Luna was married to an actor for ten months. Later she reportedly was engaged to the Austrian-born Swiss actor Maximilian Schell, to an unnamed Danish photographer, and to Georg Willing, a German actor who appeared in European horror films (such as 1970's "Necropolis") and with the Living Theatre. Around 1969 Luna was also romantically involved with German actor Klaus Kinski. They posed together in several photographs. The relationship ended when Kinski asked her entourage to leave his house in Rome. He was concerned that their drug use could damage his career.

paragraph: Luna later married Italian photographer Luigi Cazzaniga. In 1977 they had a daughter, Dream. The couple eventually separated and, while still legally married, were estranged at the time of Luna’s death.

paragraph: Section::::Death.

paragraph: During the early morning hours of May 17, 1979, Donyale Luna died of an accidental heroin overdose in a Rome clinic. She was 33 years old. Luna was survived by her husband, Luigi Cazzaniga, and her 18-month-old daughter, Dream.

paragraph: Johan Alfred Ander

paragraph: Johan Alfred Andersson Ander (27 November 1873 – 23 November 1910) was a convicted Swedish murderer and the last person to be executed in Sweden.

paragraph: The only person to be executed in Sweden following the instatement of the guillotine, he remains the only person executed by this means in Swedish history (before 1907, capital punishment was executed through manual beheading).

paragraph: Section::::Early life.

paragraph: Born in Ljusterö, Ander performed his military service duties from 1893 to 1894 at the Vaxholm Artillery Corps of Vaxholm. When his military service was over he got married and tried to make a living as a waiter and hotel owner. Most of the businesses failed however (both in Strängnäs in 1898 and in Helsinki in 1903). There have been claims that Ander's excessive drinking and mistreatment of his wife were, at least partially, the reasons for the economic failures. In 1900, he was imprisoned for a few small crimes but managed to escape. In all, by the time of his final conviction, he had been sentenced three times for theft ("tredje resan stöld"). In 1909, the couple moved back to Ander's parents' house in Karlsudd.

paragraph: Section::::The robbery and arrest.

paragraph: Ander sought a way to find a solution to his money problems, and for weeks he had been seen observing an exchange agency, "Gerells Växelkontor" on Malmtorgsgatan 3 in Stockholm. On 5 January 1910, he robbed the agency and beat the clerk, Victoria Hellsten, so severely that she died. He managed to steal 6,000 Swedish kronor in Swedish and foreign notes at the agency (nearly 200,000 SEK in 2010 equivalent).

paragraph: Staff at a hotel named "Temperance", which was located near the exchange agency, reported to the police that one of their guests had been behaving in a very strange and anxious manner, and that this guest had left the hotel with an oblong package. The guest turned out to be Alfred Ander. A large suitcase found in his hotel room contained numerous items that could be connected to the murder, among them the murdered clerk's wallet as well as most of the stolen money, partially blood-stained.

paragraph: Ander was subsequently arrested during nighttime near Vaxholm, in his father's house, after some inquiries to workers on the archipelago ferries, who recognized Ander and remembered where he went. The oblong package which had been observed by hotel staff was also found during the arrest and contained the apparent murder weapon, a steelyard balance.

paragraph: Section::::Trial and execution.

paragraph: During the trial, Ander claimed that he had received the money from a foreign (and unknown) man, whom he had met during his stay at a hotel in Stockholm. He never admitted to the crime, but was sentenced to death by all court instances, and he never appealed to the king to be reprieved (however, an application for clemency was made by his father). Clemency was refused by king Gustaf V, thus making Ander the first person to be executed in Sweden in almost ten years. The execution took place at Långholmen Prison in Stockholm on 23 November 1910 by a new guillotine imported from France, the only instance in which it was used in Sweden.

paragraph: Ander appeared mostly calm during the execution, even greeting the execution team with "God morgon, mina herrar!" "("Good morning, gentlemen!")" He also asked to say a few last words, but was, surprisingly, denied to do so by the executioner. Shortly thereafter, Ander was ordered to lay down on the guillotine, to which he complied without any need for force. The rope was then pulled. Ander reportedly shuddered just before his head fell into the zinc bucket fastened onto the guillotine. It was the first execution in Sweden in more than a decade, and the last ever to be carried out.

paragraph: Ander's body was donated to science. Doctors concluded that, at the time of death, suffered from tuberculosis, and also found a large chunk of porcelain in his stomach, likely from an in-prison suicide attempt prior to the execution.

paragraph: The executioner was Albert Gustaf Dahlman, thus the last official executioner to carry out his duties. His death in 1920 was considered levying the pressure to abolish capital punishment in Sweden, which took place the following year. A further 10 to 15 people were sentenced to death (but they were either reprieved or committed suicide; the most notorious being Hilda Nilsson in 1917). The last woman to have been executed in Sweden was Anna Månsdotter, beheaded by manual blade in 1890, also by Albert Gustav Dahlman.

paragraph: Melody Gardot

paragraph: Melody Gardot (born February 2, 1985) is an American jazz singer who has been influenced by such blues and jazz artists as Judy Garland, Janis Joplin, Miles Davis, Duke Ellington, Stan Getz and George Gershwin as well as Latin music artists such as Caetano Veloso. She has been nominated for a Grammy Award.

paragraph: At the age of nineteen, Gardot was involved in a bicycle accident and sustained a head injury. Music played a critical role in her recovery. She became an advocate of music therapy, visiting hospitals and universities to discuss its benefits. In 2012, she gave her name to a music therapy program in New Jersey.

paragraph: Section::::Early life and education.

paragraph: Gardot was born in New Jersey and was brought up by her grandparents. Her grandmother was a Polish immigrant. Her mother, a photographer, traveled often, so they had few possessions and lived out of suitcases. Gardot studied fashion at the Community College of Philadelphia.

paragraph: Section::::Accident and therapy.

paragraph: While riding her bicycle in Philadelphia in November 2003, Gardot was struck by the driver of an SUV and sustained head, spinal, and pelvic injuries. Confined to a hospital bed for a year, she needed to relearn simple tasks and was left oversensitive to light and sound. Suffering from short- and long-term memory loss, she struggled with her sense of time.

paragraph: Encouraged by a physician who believed music would help heal her brain, Gardot learned to hum, then to sing into a tape recorder, and eventually to write songs.

paragraph: For several years, she traveled with a physiotherapist and carried a transcutaneous electrical nerve stimulator to reduce pain.

paragraph: Given her oversensitivity to sound, she chose quieter music. On the treadmill, she listened to bossa nova

paragraph: by Stan Getz. Unable to sit comfortably at the piano, she learned to play guitar on her back. During her recovery, she wrote songs that became part of the self-produced EP "". Gardot was reluctant to record her songs at first, stating that they were too private for the public to hear, but relented and allowed her songs to be played on a Philadelphia radio station.

paragraph: Section::::Personal life.

paragraph: Gardot is a Buddhist, macrobiotic cook, and humanitarian. She speaks fluent French in addition to her native English and considers herself a "citizen of the world".

paragraph: Since 2017, Melody Gardot lives in Paris, even though she is often on tour.

paragraph: Section::::Music career.

paragraph: Gardot started music lessons at the age of nine and began playing piano in Philadelphia bars at the age of sixteen on Fridays and Saturdays for four hours a night. She insisted on playing only music she liked, such as The Mamas & the Papas, Duke Ellington, and Radiohead.

paragraph: During her time in the hospital she learned how to play the guitar and began writing songs, which were made available as downloads on iTunes and released on "" in 2005. She began to play these songs at venues in Philadelphia and was noticed by employees of the radio station WXPN, operated by the University of Pennsylvania in Philadelphia, which helped to start the career of Norah Jones. She was encouraged to send a demo tape to the radio station, and the tape found its way to the Universal Music Group. She released her first album, "Worrisome Heart" (Verve, 2006), then "My One and Only Thrill" (Verve 2009), produced by Larry Klein.

paragraph: Colin Cole (officer of arms)

paragraph: Sir Alexander Colin Cole (16 May 1922 – 20 February 2001) was a long serving officer of arms at the College of Arms in London. Eventually, he would rise to the rank of Garter Principal King of Arms, the highest heraldic office in England.

paragraph: Section::::Early life and education.

paragraph: Colin Cole was born in Surrey on 16 May 1922, the elder son of Edward Cole, a prosperous staples manufacturer. The family descends from John Cole, a yeoman in the parish of Twickenham, Middlesex, in the mid-17th century.

paragraph: Cole was educated at Dulwich College (where his portrait stands in the stairwell to the Great Hall), Pembroke College, Cambridge, and Brasenose College, Oxford where he read Law. During World War II he served as a captain in the Coldstream Guards. He was called to the bar at Inner Temple in 1949 and pursued a legal career before aspiring to be an officer of arms.

paragraph: In 1944 Colin Cole married Valerie Card. They had four sons and three daughters.

paragraph: Section::::Heraldic career.

paragraph: In 1953 Cole was Fitzalan Pursuivant Extraordinary at the coronation of Elizabeth II of the United Kingdom. Shortly after this, began his migration from the bar to the College of Arms. This came as a result of the revival, in 1954, of the High Court of Chivalry (which had not sat since 1737) to hear the case of Manchester Corporation versus Manchester Palace of Varieties for wrongfully displaying the city's coat of arms. Cole represented the Palace of Varieties but he lost the case.

paragraph: After a short term as Fitzalan Pursuivant Extraordinary, Cole was appointed an officer in ordinary (a full member of the College of Arms) as Portcullis Pursuivant of Arms in Ordinary in 1957. He became Windsor Herald of Arms in Ordinary in 1966. Cole also served as the College's registrar and librarian from 1967 to 1974. He was appointed Garter Principal King of Arms four years later, in 1978 and held that position until 1992.

paragraph: As Garter, Cole liberalised the rules devised by Sir Anthony Wagner for the admittance of new officers to the College. Previously they had always been university graduates who had also served a heraldic apprenticeship. Under Cole's leadership, this rule no longer applied and the majority of the pursuivants appointed had no pretensions to scholarship.

paragraph: Cole's strong streak of shrewdness and worldly wisdom was deployed to the benefit of the College; indeed, its role was advanced when he was at the helm. His heraldic practice became the largest and most successful of the last century. His achievements and service to his sovereign led to Her Majesty appointing him both KCVO in 1988 and KCB in 1992: the two knighthoods being in her personal gift.

paragraph: Many believe that Cole's chief achievement as Garter King of Arms was the part he played in the restoration of the College building. The structure of the building was overhauled and the brickwork and stone balustrades repaired under the direction of the estate agents Cluttons. This was one of the first times the repair of an important historic building had been entrusted to such a firm rather than to a specialist architect.

paragraph: A member of the Court of Common Council from 1964, Cole became Sheriff in 1977 but had to turn down the opportunity to proceed to Lord Mayor as his duties as Garter would have clashed. He was a Master of the Scriveners, Liveryman of the Basketmakers, and on the Court of the Painter Stainers Companies. He was also a very active freemason.

paragraph: BULLET::::- Margaret Thatcher and Denis Thatcher

paragraph: Section::::Honours and appointments.

paragraph: Colin Cole was appointed a Member of the Royal Victorian Order in 1977, was promoted to CVO in 1979, and KCVO in 1983. He was also made a Knight Commander of the Order of the Bath in 1992.

paragraph: Military in bearing and vocabulary, Cole was proud of his rank of Lieutenant-Colonel, RARO (Brevet 1973). Until his knighthood in 1983, he called himself Colonel Cole on the strength of his position in the Honourable Artillery Company. He was honorary Colonel, 6/7 Battalion, the Queen's Regiment, from 1981 to 1986, President of The Royal Society of St George from 1982 to 1998, and Knight Principal of the Imperial Society of Knights Bachelor from 1995.

paragraph: Sakthan Thampuran

paragraph: Rama Varma Kunhjippilla Thampuran (1751–1805), or Rama Varma IX, popularly known as Sakthan Thampuran ("Sakthan" meaning powerful), was the ruler of the Kingdom of Cochin. He was the King of the present-day southern Indian city of Kochi and his palace was in Thrissur City. The city of Thrissur is referred to as the "Cultural Capital of Kerala" owing to its many traditional festivals and historic temples. Sakthan Thampuran is considered the architect of the city of Thrissur. The festival Thrissur Pooram is considered to have been first started by him.

paragraph: Section::::Biography.

paragraph: Section::::Biography.:Early life.

paragraph: Born on 26 August, 1751 AD at "Vellarapally Palace" to Anujan Namboodiripad of the "Chennamangalam Mana" and Ambika Thampuran of the Cochin Royal Family. His mother died when he was only three years old. The prince was brought up by his maternal aunt, famously known as "Chittamma" (meaning mother's younger sister) Thampuran. His early education took place under the tutelage of scholars such as Kallenkara Pisharody. Sakthan Thampuran was a considered as an extremely powerful Maharaja as his name indicates.

paragraph: Section::::Biography.:Marriage.

paragraph: Thampuran married twice. His first wife was a Nair lady from the reputed "Vadakke Kuruppath" family of Thrissur whom he married when he was 30 years old. He is said to have had a daughter with this first wife. However, this "Nethyar Amma" (title of the consort of the Cochin "Rajah") died soon after an unhappy marriage. Thereafter the Thampuran remained unmarried for a few decades, marrying again at the age of 52. The second wife of Thampuran was Chummukutty "Nethyar Amma" of the "Karimpatta" family and was a musician and dancer of "Kaikottikalli", a traditional dance form. She was 17 at the time of her marriage with the Thampuran. Thampuran died after 4 years of the marriage. At the time, widowed "Nethyar Ammas" did not receive monetary support from the state, so Chummukutty, at the age of 21, returned to her ancestral home.

paragraph: Section::::Biography.:Death.

paragraph: After his 55th birthday, Sakthan Thampuran fell ill and died in on 26 September, 1805, at Thrissur City. He was buried in Shakthan Thampuran Palace, Thrissur. His palace in Thrissur City is preserved as a monument. He is considered to be responsible for the development of Thrissur City and also making it the "Cultural Capital of Kerala".

paragraph: Section::::Administration.

paragraph: In 1762, ten tehsils ("Kovilakathum vathukkals") and two "Edavagas" (semi tehsils) were formed in the Kochi Kingdom. But the previous feudal chieftains maintained their stronghold. After Thampuran ascended the throne of Kingdom of Cochin , he took over the land from the feudal chieftains and consolidated the royal power. At that time, the Vadakkunnathan Temple and Peruvanam Mahadeva Temple were controlled by the Namboodiri community, called "Yogiatiripppads". The "Yogiatiripppads" was elected from different temples in the Thrissur District. Thampuran wrested the control of the temples and abolished the system of Yogiatiripppads. Thampuran's strict approach with criminals earned his name, "Sakthan". During the British Raj, British authorities had good relations with Thampuran. He was also a personal friend of "Dharma Raja" of Travancore.

paragraph: Section::::Legacy.

paragraph: Section::::Legacy.:City of Thrissur.

paragraph: The modern day town of Thrissur owes its origin to Sakthan Thampuran. The reason for his love of the town was because of the fact that his two wives were both born here. They belonged to the "Kuruppath" and "Karimpatta" families of Thrissur. Sakthan Thampuran transferred his capital from Thrippunithura to Thrissur to found the city. He cleared the teak forests around the Vadakkunnathan Temple and developed the Thekkinkadu Maidan, which is now at the heart of the city. After clearing the forest, he built a circular concrete road now known as Swaraj Round.

paragraph: Section::::Legacy.:Thrissur Pooram.

paragraph: The Thrissur Pooram or "Mother of all Poorams", as it was known, was the brainchild of Sakthan Thampuran. At the time, Arattupuzha Pooram was the largest temple festival in Kerala. Temples in and around the city of Thrissur were regular participants. Once, they were denied entry to Arattupuzha Pooram because they were late. All the late participant temples went to Sakthan Thampuran, then Maharaja of Cochin, and complained about the issue. Thampuran invited all the temples to bring their deities to Thrissur and pay obeisance to Lord Shiva, the deity of the Vadakkunnathan Temple. Thampuran classified the participants into two groups, the Western and the Eastern. The Western group consisted of the "Thiruvambady", "Kanimangalam", "Laloor", "Ayyanthole", and "Nethilakkavu" temples while the "Paramekkavu", "Karamukku", "Chembukavu", "Choorakottukavu" and "Panamukkamppilly" temples came under the eastern group.

paragraph: Section::::Legacy.:Shakthan Thampuran Palace.

paragraph: Named after Shakthan Thampuran, the palace is spread over of Thrissur and was earlier known as "Vadakkechira Kovilakam". It is one of the most historic cultural and architecturally relevant palace of the erstwhile Maharaja of Cochin, which has now been converted into a heritage museum. The palace is now a blend of traditional Kerala and Dutch architectural styles following its 1795 reconstruction.

paragraph: Cajsa Warg

paragraph: Anna Christina Warg (23March 17035February 1769, Stockholm), better known as Cajsa (or Kajsa) Warg, was a Swedish cookbook author and one of the best-known cooks in Swedish history.

paragraph: Section::::Early life.

paragraph: Warg was born in Örebro, the youngest of two daughters, to accountant Anders Warg (died 1708) and Karin Livijn (died 1755). In 1710, her mother married the nobleman Eric Rosenstråle, with whom she had seven more children and moved with to Borggård Manor outside Finspång.

paragraph: Section::::Career.

paragraph: Warg left home early to be the cook and housekeeper for several powerful people in Stockholm, such as the general Count Wolter Reinhold von Stackelberg. It is not known when she started her career, but von Stackelberg had previously served with her father as an officer in the army, and it is considered likely that she was employed by him as his cook by the time he married and settled down in Stockholm in 1735. She was later employed by von Stackelberg's older brother marshal Baron Berndt Otto von Stackelberg, and from the late 1740s, by the State Secretary and General Post Master Baron Leonard Klinckowström, whose wife Catharina Ehrenpreus was the cousin of her mother. von Stackelberg was the brother-in-law of Hedvig Taube, and Warg's abilities as a cook had good opportunity to become known in influential circles. He was described as a great gourmet and also hosted many receptions for Stockholm's cultural elite, who praised the cookery art there —one of them was Carl Michael Bellman, who wrote a poem about the food at the receptions, though he did not mentioned Warg by name. After the death of her last employer Klinckowström in 1759, she acquired his apartment, where she lived on her royalties and by renting out rooms.

paragraph: Section::::Cookbook.

paragraph: In 1755, Cajsa Warg inherited 5000 daler from her mother when she died. The same year, she published "Hjelpreda I Hushållningen För Unga Fruentimber" ("Guide to Housekeeping for Young Women") which was published in fourteen editions of which the last version was printed in 1822. It was also translated into German, which came out in four editions, and one Estonian edition. The book mostly contains food recipes but also includes instructions on dyeing textiles and other things related to household maintenance. From the third edition (1762), it included an appendix with the title "Underrättelse om Färgning" ("instruction on dyeing"). The appendix on dyeing was translated into Danish with two editions (1773 and 1794).

paragraph: Warg's work was the leading cookbook for several generations and remained relevant until the late 19th century when new household goods, industrially manufactured kitchen stoves and changes in cuisine made most of its recipes outdated.

paragraph: Mahendrapala

paragraph: Mahendrapala (r. c. 854-860) was the fourth king of the Pala dynasty of the Bengal region of the Indian subcontinent. He was the son of Devapala and his queen Mahata.

paragraph: Mahendrapala has been mentioned in some Pala records, but earlier, the historians used to believe that these mentions referred to the Gurjara-Pratihara king Mahendrapala I. However, the discovery of the Jagjivanpur copper plate charter issued by Mahendrapala made it clear that he was a distinct Pala emperor, who succeeded Devapala. The charter, issued in the 7th year of Mahendrapala's reign (believed to be 854 CE), mentions the construction of a monastery at Nandadirghika Udranga by Mahendrapala's "mahasenapati" ("great general") Vajradeva. The grant is dated in his 7th regnal year and issued from the Kuddalakhataka "jayaskandhavara" (the camp of victory).

paragraph: Mahendrapala was succeeded by Shurapala I. According to the Jagjivanpur inscription, Shurapala I was Mahendrapala's younger brother and royal envoy.

paragraph: Mahendrapala appears to have retained the Pala control over Bengal and Bihar.
