paragraph: Gulabrao Maharaj

paragraph: Gulabrao Maharaj (6 July 1881 – 20 September 1915) was a Hindu saint from Maharashtra, India. A blind person, he was credited with giving a vision of life to the people. He wrote 139 books on various subjects containing more than 6000 pages, 130 commentaries and about 25,000 stanza in poetry in his short life of 34 years.

paragraph: Section::::Biography.

paragraph: Gulabrao Maharaj was born in a Maharashtrian Kunbi family on 6 July 1881 to Gonduji Mohod and Sou. Alokabai Mohod from the village of Madhan near Amravati. He became blind by being given the wrong medicine at the age of 9 months. When he was four years old his mother died, and he was brought up by his maternal grandmother in Loni Takli village.

paragraph: Shri Sant Dnyaneshwar Maharaj has given him Drushant when he was at the age of 19 years and given him mantra of his own name. After that Drushtant, the first ever photo picture of Sant Dhyaneshwar Maharaj Sant Dnyaneshwar has been drawn by an artist based on the directions of Maharaj. Even today, one can see the same photo-frame at the Samadhi Temple at Alandi, Maharashtra. Sant Gulabrao Maharaj was known as Pradnyachakshu Madhuradwaitacharya Gulabrao Maharaj. He was called Pradnyachakshu because he became blind of both the eyes at the age of about 9 months; still he was master of Vedanta philosophy and many occult and physical sciences. 'Pradnya' means intelligence and eyes are called "chakshu" in Sanskrit language. He had many divine powers which included the 'intellectual eyesight'. His mind could read and grasp any book in the world in any language that he would take in hand and decide to learn. His mind did not need the body-organ like 'eye' to see the world.

paragraph: "Madhuradwait" was the new school of thought introduced by him. The people well versed in Vedanta know that 'adwaita' (non-dualism) philosophy of Vedanta does not accept any name and form visible or non-visible that could be different from God (soul, Atma or Brahma). Vedanta very explicitly proclaims, "When everything has become one-soul, where is any other thing to smell ? who will see whom ? who will listen to whom ? who will talk to whom ? where is any other thing to think about ? who will know whom ? how to know him who knows everything ?" (Asy sarva atmaivabhuta, tat ken kam jighnet ? ken kam pashyet ?.. ... brihadaranyaka). "What exists is only one thing i.e. Brahma and what we see and experience as world is illusionary" is the teachings of "adwaita". Madhura Bhakti is the devotional love for lord Krishna. In Vedanta all the three words viz. devotee, devotion and deity are not different from each other where as in Madhura Bhakti one has to be a deity and other a devotee.

paragraph: Adwaita does not recognize Bhakti at all. Probably the great saint who possessed the eternal knowledge since childhood by dint of providence due to his past karma, had advocated Madhurabhakti for the "after-attaining-knowledge" stage to his disciple.

paragraph: His full name was Gulab Gundoji Mohod. He was born on July 6, 1881 in a small village named Madhan in Amravati district in Maharashtra and died merely at the age of 34 i.e. in the year 1915. Though he had lost his eyesight at the early age, he wrote about 133 books on various subjects containing more than 6000 pages, 130 commentaries and about 25,000 stanza in poetry. His mother died in the year 1885 when he was four years old. He then stayed at the house of his maternal grand mother at the place known as Loni Takli for about 6 years. In this period people came to know about his extraordinary intelligence and his "brain-sight" though he had lost his eye-sight. There was a community well in front of the house where he stayed and the women from the village would come to well for water. Small Gulab would call them all by their names, and the women would be wonderstruck and would think as to how the blind boy came to know about their individual names ? He was found many times in deep samadhi stage in the night. Initially his grand mother and others were frightened to see Gulabrao sitting in Yoga position with his respiration stopped completely. However, some elderly and wise men understood the conditions of Gulabrao and asked his relatives to refrain from disturbing him during samadhi. He very much liked the holy songs(Bhajans), holy verses (Slokas) and reading the occult books. He would ask his friends to read the books and would repeat the contents immediately as was heard by him. He had extraordinary memory. He knew all the Vedas and Shastras at the age of ten years.

paragraph: He was married to Mankarnika, daughter of Ganaji Bhuyar a farmer in nearby village in the year 1896. He started writing essays and poetry on the religious philosophy since 1897. i.e. from his age of sixteen. Since then he would visit the nearby cities, villages and towns and meet the people to discuss on the various topics of religion. This is incredible but true that in the year 1901 the great saint of 12th century Sant Dnyneshwar Maharaj met Gulabrao and accepted him as his disciple.

paragraph: Sant Gulabrao Maharaj would call himself to be a daughter of Sant Dnyneshwara and wife of Lord Krishna. He married to lord Krishna in the year 1905. He used to put on the dress and the ornaments like woman. He would lay kumkum ( a red spot) on his forehead and put on managalsutra ( a golden chain with black beads) around his neck which are usually worn by the Hindu married women.

paragraph: In the year 1902 when he was 21, he wrote the commentary on the theories of Darwin and Spencer. He had written books on various subjects like dhyan, yoga and bhakti and written commentaries on ancient treatises. He wrote on the "Manas Ayurveda", i.e. psychological part in the Ayurveda. He had given valuable guidelines to those who want to attain the salvation and gain the eternal knowledge. It is beyond one's imagination that a blind man could write on the subjects like Yoga, Upanishads and Brahmasutras and many occult sciences which are difficult subjects to understand even by the highly educated and intelligent persons. When did he find time to study these sciences ? How did he receive old treatises and from whom ? Who explained him the secret meanings of the Sanskrit verses ? Many questions like these arise in the mind when one reads his biography and the books written by him. His style of writing is of his own and he has put forth his own views absolutely keeping the Vedic discipline. He has boldly revealed many secrets of the Hindu religious sciences which are not generally made public by the saints.

paragraph: Though he was from the Kunbi caste, most of his disciples were Brahmin Pundits. He was openly telling people that he had no right to study the Vedas according to old traditions, but he knew Vedas without studying them and since he knew the "Atmadnyan" (knowledge of self-realization) he was not bound by many old rules. He used to respect Vedas, Brahmins and the guidance received from great wealth of old Indian religious treatises.

paragraph: He was straight forward and would defeat many Pundits and Intelligent people in the debate on the Shastras (sciences).

paragraph: It is generally found in India that the great persons who really had lived only for the cause of welfare of mankind were truly recognized by the people after their death only. Samartha Satguru Pradnychakshu Madhuradwaitacharya Saint Gulabrao Maharaj is becoming more and more popular after his Samadhi on 20 September 1915. His many disciples attained the knowledge of self-realization and are known in the public as the great saints. His main disciple, Baba Maharaj Pandit (death 1964) who wrote many books was recognized as a great intellectual, and saint. His commentary on "Bhavartha Deepika" written by Dnyaneshwara Maharaj is published by Geeta Press, Gorakhpur.

paragraph: The great saints like Gulabrao Maharaj guide the people even after their death by volumes of knowledge written by them. .

paragraph: Section::::Earlier life.

paragraph: Sant Gulabrao Maharaj was none other than Swami Becharanand Maharaj in his earlier life/avatar (गुलाबराव महाराजांचे चरित्र) from Zinzuwada Gujrat

paragraph: 1765-1880 born in Sipur village 8 miles from Sidhapur (Matrugaya of today). He has done massive tap/dhyan for 12 years in a jungle near to Naleshwar temple by just having lemons as a food intake. Afterwards he has spent his further life at Rajasbai Mataji Temple Zinzuwada, Gujarat.

paragraph: How it was come to the notice has a detailed story, but will try to give a brief about it. Balavantrao Marathe originally based in Maharashtra was posted in Zhinzuwada from 1864-67 as a post master. He often used to visit Becharanand maharaj for seeking his blessings with his wife. Post retirement, he returned to his home in Amravati, Maharashtra and one day when he went to the famous Amba Devi temple there, touched the bells and chanted "Jai Jagdamb...", he heard some one referring him by his name "Who's there, Balvantrao Marathe?". Balavantrao looked amazed and went near to the person who has just called his name, he was none other than Gulabrao Maharaj. Maharaj said "Balavantrao, Looks like you've forgotten me" and letter told him "Some of the people from there (Zinzuwada) are also accompanied me today (In this life)!".

paragraph: After that day Balavantrao regularly used to visit at Gulabrao Maharaj place. Many times devotees insisted Balavantrao to reveal story about how he came to know about Maharaj but he tried to avoid it and letter on he has agreed and explained details about Becharanand Maharaj.

paragraph: Section::::Family tree.

paragraph: The Mohod family of Madhan near Amravati originally migrated from a place near the Gujarat and Rajasthan state border in the 11th century. At the time, the family was known by the surname 'Modh' which later changed to 'Mohod'.

paragraph: Karoline von Günderrode

paragraph: Karoline Friederike Louise Maximiliane von Günderrode (11 February 1780 – 26 July 1806) was a German Romantic poet, born in Karlsruhe. She used the nom-de-plume of Tian.

paragraph: Section::::Life.

paragraph: Günderrode, the oldest of six siblings, came from an aristocratic but poor family. In 1797 she entered a residence in Frankfurt am Main, run by a charitable foundation, in which poor unmarried noblewomen could live respectably while keeping an eye out for a suitable marriage partner. In Frankfurt her friends included the three siblings Kunigunde Brentano (later von Savigny; 1780-1863), Bettina von Arnim (née Brentano) and Clemens Brentano.

paragraph: Günderrode was unable to come to terms with the prescribed feminine roles. In a letter to she wrote: "I've often had the unfeminine desire to throw myself into the wild chaos of battle and die. Why didn't I turn out to be a man! I have no feeling for feminine virtues, for a woman's happiness. Only that which is wild, great, shining appeals to me. There is an unfortunate but unalterable imbalance in my soul; and it will and must remain so, since I am a woman and have desires like a man without a man's strength. That's why I'm so vacillating and so out of harmony with myself…." Karoline suffered from a nervously induced melancholy and had an unpredictable temperament that alienated some.

paragraph: While attending a social event, Günderrode met the legal scholar Friedrich Carl von Savigny and fell in love with him. Sometime later, she reached the point of hoping for a proposal of marriage, but Savigny decided instead to marry her less intellectual friend Kunigunde Brentano.

paragraph: After what she saw as Savigny's betrayal, Günderrode worked on her art as a poet, aiming to unite life and writing. She wrote works with strong heroic women in a central role, such as "Hildegun und Nikator" and "Mora". Through her writing she criticized the ideals of the bourgeois society at the time and its traditional gender roles.

paragraph: In 1804, Günderrode met the philologist and archeologist Georg Friedrich Creuzer. Although he was married, they developed a relationship. Creuzer asked his wife for a divorce, which she agreed to, but Creuzer, who suffered depression from his secret relationship with Günderrode, and anxiety about the public scandal of a divorce, postponed the decision. He sought advice from his friends and colleagues, who suggested he should forget Günderrode, as she would never be a suitable wife. In the midst of the unresolved situation, he became ill; finally, through a friend, he sent a letter to Günderrode ending the relationship. Upon receiving the news, Günderrode killed herself with a dagger on the banks of the river Rhine at Winkel.

paragraph: Günderrode and Heinrich von Kleist were the two central characters in "Kein Ort. Nirgends", a novel by Christa Wolf published in 1979. This recounts a fictional meeting between Günderrode and Kleist in which the two escape the empty chatter of a tea party by taking a long walk. Kleist also ended his life in a suicide pact with the cancer-stricken Henriette Vogel.

paragraph: John Bulteel (died 1669)

paragraph: John Bulteel (died 1669) of Westminster, served twice as a Member of Parliament for Lostwithiel in Cornwall, from 1661 to 1669. Between c.1658 and 1667 he was Secretary to Edward Hyde, 1st Earl of Clarendon, Lord Chancellor to King Charles II from 1658, two years before the Restoration of the Monarchy, until 1667. He was a friend of the diarist Samuel Pepys. He died unmarried.

paragraph: Section::::Origins.

paragraph: He was the second son of Peter Bulteel, an English-born merchant of the City of London, a deacon of the French church in Threadneedle Street, and son of a Protestant refugee from Tournai, in Hainault by his wife Hester Herbert, daughter of Hugh Herbert of Norwich in Norfolk. In 1640 Peter Bulteel was one of the wealthiest residents of Broad Street ward in the City of London. Peter Bulteel was born in England, but classed himself as a "merchant stranger", which status although costly in terms of taxation, removed him from civic responsibility and political commitment.

paragraph: Peter Bulteel's brother was a prominent pastor to the Walloon church in Kent. John's cousin was another John Bulteel (c.1627-1692), a writer and translator.

paragraph: Section::::Career.

paragraph: Between c.1658 and 1667 he was Secretary to Edward Hyde, 1st Earl of Clarendon, Lord Chancellor to King Charles II from 1658, two years before the Restoration of the Monarchy, until 1667. He resided in Clarendon's household. His nomination and election in 1661 for the pocket borough of Lostwithiel was probably due to government influence. He was satirized by Andrew Marvell as one of the lord chancellor’s underlings employed to count his ill-gotten gains. He was not a man of great political ambition as he is recorded as having stated that "his life's desire" was to retire to a little cottage near his friend, Sir Richard Fanshawe.

paragraph: Section::::Armorials.

paragraph: In 1660 the Garter King of Arms confirmed to him the right to bear arms as follows: "Argent semy of billets and a bend gules", with crest: "Out of a crowne gules two wings argent billetté of the first".

paragraph: Section::::Death & burial.

paragraph: He died on 7 December 1669 and was buried in the Church of St. Martin in the Fields, Westminster. He died intestate, and having never married, without progeny.

paragraph: Section::::Continuing Bulteel family.

paragraph: A branch of the Bulteel family later grew to great prominence seated in South Devon, at the estates of Flete, Membland and Pamflete, all in the parish of Holbeton and at nearby Lyneham, Yealmpton. A member of this branch was John Crocker Bulteel (1793–1843) a Whig MP for South Devon 1832-4 and Sheriff of Devon in 1841.

paragraph: Nontsizi Mgqwetho

paragraph: Nontsizi Mgqwetho was a South African poet who is widely regarded as "the first and only female poet to have written a substantial body of poetry in isiXhosa". She is well known for her poetry which was published in "Umteteli wa Bantu", a multilingual weekly Johannesburg newspaper, from 23 October 1920 until 5 January 1929. The poet's body of work from this period has cemented her place as one of the greatest literary artists ever to write in isiXhosa. Her poetry has been described as swaggering, urgent, confrontational and said to reveal more about the identity and struggles of an urban Christian black woman from the 19th century than other texts of that era.

paragraph: Section::::Personal life.

paragraph: Not much is known of Nontsizi's Mgwetho's personal life. Traces of her origins come from her poetry as it was published on Umteteli wa Bantu. Mgqwetho referred to herself as "Imbongi uChizama" (poet from the Chizama clan) and later as "Yimbongikazi uChizama"- meaning female poet from the Chizama clan. Chizama was her father's clan name. Mgqwetho reveals her mother's identity as Emmah Jane Mgqwetho, the daughter of Zingelwa, of the Cwerha clan, and she associates her with the Hewu district near Queenstown in a poem lamenting her death, which was published on 2 December 1922 in "Umteteli Wabantu". In another poem that appeared on 18 December 1920, she criticizes L. T. Mvabaza, the editor of "Abantu Batho", for bragging that he had brought her from Peddie to Johannesburg, so she seems to have lived near Peddie, possibly at Tamara, before moving to the former Transvaal.

paragraph: Mgqwetho is likely to have penned two prose contributions to the King William's Town newspaper "Imvo zabantsundu" on 20 May and 14 October 1897, both signed Cizama (coming from Tamara near Mount Coke between King William's Town and Peddie ). Professor in African Languages Abner Nyamende, recognizes in Mgqwetho's poetry quotations from the Moravian liturgy, which suggests that she may well have been educated in the Eastern Cape by the Moravians, probably at Shiloh in the Hewu district.

paragraph: It is unclear what Mgqwetho had come to Johannesburg for but her first poem was sent to the publications from the Crown Mines. Mgqwetho and her sister, Mary, may have stayed in the Rand to organise dances, with dance being a recurrent theme in her poetry. Mgqwetho and her sister Mary may have remained unmarried as a 1949 newspaper article refers to them as Miss Nontsizi and Mary Mgqwetho. Mgqwetho, in one of her poems, also describes herself as physically awkward and unmarried:

paragraph: poem style="margin-left: 2em;"Taru'. Dadakazi lendaba zaseAfrika

paragraph: Ubh'ibh'inxa lwentombi esinqe simbi

paragraph: Awu!Nontsizi bulembu eAfrika

paragraph: Akusoze wende nezinto ezigoso

paragraph: (Mercy, duck of African thickets

paragraph: Section::::Poetry.

paragraph: Nontsizi Mgqwethu burst onto the scene when her first poem (signed "Imbongi uChizama"), which was published on Umteteli wa Bantu on 23 October 1920. She soon changed the name to "Yimbongikazi Nontsizi Mgqwetho uChizama" (Female poet Chizama) on her second until the eight poem. On her ninth poem published in December 1920 she was using Imbongikazi uNontsizi Mgqwetho. In 1921 and 1922 she was published three times on Umteteli wa Bantu. She returned in December 1923 and was published every week until September 1926. Between 23 October 1920 and 4 September 1926 "Umteleli" published 95 poems and three articles by Mgqwetho. She then took a two-year break before returning to have two final poems published in "Umteteli wa Bantu" on 22 December 1928 and 5 January 1929. Mgqwetho disappeared into obscurity and was never heard of again.

paragraph: Mgqwetho's poetry was always in opposition to male dominance. Her insistence on the use of Imbongikazi, the feminine form of imbongi(praise poet) signals her stance as a woman. During Mgqwetho's time, the rural praise poet, imbongi, was always a male, so she would have been barred from public performances in honour of the chief. This dominance by male poets is exhibited by the fact that isiXhosa poet SEK Mqhayi who was a frequent contributor to Umteteli wa Bantu at the same time as Mgwetho received national recognition, while she did not. In this poem below Mgqwetha shows opposition to male dominance in poetry.

paragraph: poem style="margin-left: 2em;"Kuba tina simadoda nje asizange

paragraph: Siyibone kowetu imbongokazi

paragraph: Yenkazana kuba imbongi inyuka

paragraph: Nenkundla ituke inkosi

paragraph: (We as men have never encountered

paragraph: these female poets in our homes

paragraph: Because a poet—a male— rouses the court and censures the king)/poem

paragraph: A Christian, Mgqwetho supported "manyanos" (church groups for women) as they were the only space in which Christian women could speak freely. However, in her poetry Mgqwetho reveals her opposition to Christianity, which she deems the tool of oppression.

paragraph: poem style="margin-left: 2em;"Zay'konxa! Afrika ngamakandela

paragraph: NangeBhayibhile, nemipu, zayikahlela

paragraph: (They clapped shackles on you,

paragraph: hurled you down with a bible and musket)/poem

paragraph: One of her most powerful poems "Mayibuye Afrika" (Come back Africa) displays her political stance. In the poem, Mgqwetho laments the loss and exploitation of African land and resources. She further displays her position by adopting a critical stance of the African National Congress and its leaders, whom she castigates for fragmenting rather than unifying black opposition, and she constantly appeals for black unity in the face of white oppression. The title of the poem published on 19 July 1924 is 'Strangers strip people selfishly squabbling.' She defends Marshall Maxeke, the first editor of "Umteteli", and celebrates his wife, the civil rights activist Charlotte Maxeke. A prose contribution published on 13 December 1924 records her own involvement in the April 1919 mass demonstration against passes in Johannesburg.

paragraph: Section::::Legacy.

paragraph: Nontsizi Mgqwetho's poetry was compiled into a book titled "The Nation’s Bounty: The Xhosa Poetry of Nontsizi Mgqwetho" by Jeff Opland, Visiting Professor of African Language and Literatures at the School of Oriental and African Studies, University of London, and Research Fellow in the Department of African Languages, University of South Africa, Pretoria. It was published in 2007. Mgqwetho has often been described as one of the early black urban feminist voices in the 20th century.

paragraph: Jean Coutrot (27 March 1895 – 19 May 1941) was a French engineer.

paragraph: He was one of the pioneers of the X-Crise group. In 1936, he founded with Center for Studies of Human Problems with Aldous Huxley and Alexis Carrel.

paragraph: In June 1941, Coutrot's name was mentioned in a report submitted by Henri Chavin, director of the National Security, to the Minister of the Interior. In this document, Chavin denounces Coutrot for having founded several groups, such as the Center for Studies of Human Problems, allegedly with the aim of "recruiting [...] members of the MSE [Synarchic Empire Movement]". The "Chavin Report" thus constitutes the starting point of the denunciations aimed at the purported plot of "Synarchy".

paragraph: Pons Augustin Alletz

paragraph: Pons Augustin Alletz (born 1703 in Montpellier, died 7 March 1785 in Paris) was a French agronomist.

paragraph: Alletz spent some years living in a catholic community belonging to the Oratory of Saint Philip Neri before working as a lawyer in Montpellier. He quickly abandoned law, however, and moved to Paris to devote himself entirely to writing. His numerous works are nearly all useful reference texts.

paragraph: Alletz's most famous work, "L'Agronome, ou Dictionnaire portatif du cultivateur" ("The Agronomist, or Portable Dictionary of the Farmer"), was first published in 1760 in a two-volume format and was frequently republished until the 19th century; it was considered one of the best manuals of country living during its time. Besides advice on gardening, raising livestock, veterinary medicine, and hunting, the manual contains a large number of practical recipes fit to satisfy a sophisticated country epicure. The section devoted to wine and wine-making is significant and covers such topics as pairing wines, anecdotes concerning wine, authors who wrote about wine, types of wine, and vinegar recipes.

paragraph: Alletz is the grandfather of the author Édouard Alletz.

paragraph: Giovan Vettorio Soderini

paragraph: Giovan Vettorio Soderini (1526 in Florence - 3 March 1596 in Volterra) was an Italian agronomist.

paragraph: Section::::Biography.

paragraph: Soderini studied philosophy and law at the University of Bologna. On his return to Tuscany, he spoke openly against the Medici, and even participated in a conspiracy whose aim was to take power from them. Condemned by the Council of Florence to lose his head on the scaffold, he owed his salvation to the generosity of Ferdinando I de' Medici, Grand Duke of Tuscany, who banished him for life in Cedri near Volterra, after which Soderini devoted himself to the study of agriculture.

paragraph: Section::::Treaty on the cultivation of the vineyard.

paragraph: His "Trattato della coltivazione delle viti, e del frutto che se ne puo cavare" (Treatise on the Cultivation of the Vineyard, and the Fruit That Can Be Obtained) (Florence, Filippo Giunti, 1600), which the academicians of the Accademia della Crusca have put in the Test di conoscenza della lingua italiana (Test of knowledge of the Italian language), contains several precepts of viticulture and oenology. Soderini gives a major role to astrology, recommending to bring in the harvest when the Moon is in a certain sign and in decline, for "if one collects then less wine, at least one is sure of its quality and its conservation". The book is dedicated by the editor Giunti to Florentine poet Luigi Alamanni. It appeared for the first time with another treatise on the same subject by Bernardo Davanzati, and the "Apology of the Melon (Popone)" by Lionardo Giachini. Soderini's book was reprinted separately by Domenico Maria Manni in 1734, with some biographical information.

paragraph: In 1590 under the alais Ciriegiulo he published the first documented mention of the Sangiovese ("blood of Jove") grape, calling it "Sangiogheto", noting that in Tuscany the grape makes very good wine, but if the winemaker is not careful, it risks turning into vinegar.

paragraph: Benoît Rouquayrol

paragraph: Benoît Rouquayrol (1826–1875) was a French inventor. Along with Auguste Denayrouze, Rouquayrol invented a diving suit and breathing apparatus.

paragraph: Section::::Biography.

paragraph: Benoît Rouquayrol was born on June 13, 1826, at Espalion, in the Aveyron department of Southern France. He became an engineer at the Saint-Étienne School of Mines. He became employed at a company involved in bituminous coal mining and foundries in Aveyron, and became the director of accounting by 1865.

paragraph: In 1860, Rouquayrol became concerned with mine safety problems related to firedamp (flammable natural gases in coal mines). He created a rescue apparatus consisting of a pressurized gas chamber coupled to a pressure regulator that he called the "Regulator for Equalization of Compressed Gas". In 1864, with the help of the French Navy lieutenant Auguste Denayrouze (also of Aveyron), Rouquayrol created the first diving suit. This diving suit won the gold medal at the 1867 World's Fair, and drew the attention of the author Jules Verne. Verne included the diving suit in his fictional depiction of a contemporary submarine voyage, "20,000 Leagues Under The Sea".

paragraph: Rouquayrol died on November 14, 1875, at Rodez, Aveyron, France.

paragraph: Section::::Chronology of patents and inventions.

paragraph: BULLET::::- April 14, 1860: Rouquayrol disclosed a patent for a regulator designed for a rescue-apparatus for miners who were victims of firedamp or asphyxiation

paragraph: Denis Bérardier

paragraph: Denis Bérardier (1735–1794) was a French priest and theologian. He was born at Quimper, in Brittany 26 March 1735 and died at Paris 1 May 1794. He was one of the deputies from the Paris clergy to the Estates-General of 1789.

paragraph: Section::::Biography.

paragraph: Bérardier was raised by his grandfather Pierre Bousquet, who had been the founder of the Quimper pottery in 1708. He attended the Jesuit college at Quimper, sand then the Sorbonne, where he obtained a doctorate in theology. After the expulsion of the Jesuits from France in 1762, he was appointed Principal of the college at Quimper. He was interested in physics, conducting researches into electricity and founding a physics class at the college.

paragraph: Bérardier was not on good terms with Toussaint Francois Joseph Conen of St. Luke, the new Bishop of Cornouaille, whose seat was in Quimper and who asserted jurisdiction over the college. He therefore obtained a transfer in 1778 to the extremely prestigious Lycée Louis-le-Grand in Paris, also formerly run by the Jesuits; he also was one of the syndics of the Paris Faculty of Theology. Among his students were Camille Desmoulins and Maximilien Robespierre,

paragraph: Section::::Political career.

paragraph: In 1789, when King Louis XVI was forced to summon the Estates-General, he was elected as one of the representatives of the Paris clergy to the Second Estate. When the Etats-General were reconstituted as the National Assembly and then the National Constituent Assembly. he took his place with the conservative element, seated on the right side of the assembly.

paragraph: He, along with many of the French clergy, opposed the revolutionary Civil Constitution of the Clergy that formalized the nationalization of church property and dissolved the remaining monastic establishments.

paragraph: Yajaw Teʼ Kʼinich II was a king of the Mayan state Caracol in Belize. He was also known as Ruler III, Lord Water and Lord Muluc and reigned AD 553-593.

paragraph: Section::::Biography.

paragraph: Yajaw Teʼ Kʼinich II was a son of the king Kʼan I. His mother was Lady Kʼal Kʼinich. He was named after his paternal grandfather, Yajaw Teʼ Kʼinich I, who was a son of Kʼahkʼ Ujol Kʼinich I.

paragraph: The reign of Yajaw Teʼ Kʼinich II was pivotal in Caracol history; it began in turmoil, as Caracol exchanged one overlord for another, and ended in prosperity, as the city began to grow into a true metropolis.

paragraph: This ruler's own Stela 14 makes no mention of the fact that his accession took place under the auspices of Tikal; this is only known from Altar 21. Regrettably Altar 21 is now broken into fragments, and most of this key passage does not survive.

paragraph: The fragmentary Stela 4, a text probably dating to 583, shows Caracol tied to Calakmul some two decades after the victory over Tikal, as an action of Yajaw Teʼ Kʼinich is said to have been supervised by the Calakmul ruler.

paragraph: His wives were Lady 1 and Lady Batzʼ Ekʼ and his sons were Knot Ajaw and Kʼan II.

paragraph: Klaus H. Hofmann

paragraph: Klaus H. Hofmann (February 21, 1911 – December 25, 1995) was an American biological chemist and medical researcher.

paragraph: The New York Times called Hofmann an "expert on synthesis of body compounds". His career was highlighted by synthesis of a prototype birth control pill, isolation and structural characterization of biotin (vitamin H), determination of the lysine specificity of the pancreatic protease trypsin (an attribute that made it the enzyme of first choice in protein sequence determinations), the first chemical synthesis of a fully biologically-active portion of the peptide hormone (adrenocorticotopic hormone - ACTH), and structure-function studies on ribonuclease (RNase).

paragraph: Section::::Early Life and Entry to Science.

paragraph: Hofmann was born in Germany but when his father died, his mother returned with her one year old son to her family home in Switzerland. The family was business oriented but Klaus was determined to pursue a career in science. He studied steroid chemistry at the Federal Institute of Technology in Zürich (ETH) in the laboratories of Leopold Ruzicka. Here he developed a friendship with another faculty member, Tadeus Reichstein from whom he learned laboratory technique. For his postdoctoral experience he traveled to the United States to work with Max Bergmann on peptides, an entirely new field for him. From there he migrated across the street to the laboratory of Vincent du Vigneaud where he was introduced to a new vitamin, Biotin.

paragraph: "The War Years"

paragraph: What was meant to be a short stay in the US turned into a much longer one as a result of World War II. Switzerland, ringed by hostile forces, advised Hofmann, an officer in the Swiss militia, not to return for the course of the war. He spent the war years working as a guest at Ciba Pharmaceutical Company in New Jersey. From there he moved to the University of Pittsburgh at a time when the institution was trying to build a research reputation.

paragraph: Section::::A Scientific Home in Pittsburgh.

paragraph: In a few short years, the Dean of the School of Medicine, himself a professor of Biochemistry, invited Hofmann to become Chairman of the Department.

paragraph: From the moment he took the position of Chairman of Biochemistry, it became clear that although he would always be a son of Switzerland, the United States offered him career opportunities he could never hope for in a small country like Switzerland. The US was to become his permanent home. The burgeoning field of peptide chemistry became his scientific focus and, in his own words, he fell in love with a molecule that was known to stimulate the adrenal cortex to produce the very steroids that had so fascinated him in Reichstein’s laboratory. That molecule, not yet isolated, was ACTH and the love affair was life long. Despite detours into other areas, he kept returning to ACTH. In the last years before his death, he was developing methods to isolate the ACTH receptor.

paragraph: Section::::Areas of Scientific Accomplishments.

paragraph: Steroid Chemistry

paragraph: As a PhD student in the laboratories of future Nobel Laureates, Leopold Ruzicka and Tadeus Reichstein in Zürich, Hofmann synthesized a number of compounds related to terpenes, the hypothetical building block of steroids. One of these was a dehydroandrosterone derivative, a prototype for the birth control pill. Unfortunately the biological basis for reproduction was not known for many years subsequent to this and therefore the importance of this compound was not recognized.

paragraph: Trypsin

paragraph: While working in the laboratory of Max Bergmann at Rockefeller Institute, now Rockefeller University, Hofmann synthesized analogs of the amino acid lysine and proved that the enzyme trypsin cleaves linkages involving the carboxyl group of that amino acid.

paragraph: Biotin

paragraph: Subsequently, with Vincent du Vigneaud, he used the newly developed technique of chromatography that he had learned while a student in Zürich, to isolate and then crystallize biotin. This work began a theme that continued throughout his career of determining the importance of sulfur in biologically active structures. He applied this to peptides as well.

paragraph: Peptide Synthesis/ACTH

paragraph: RNaseA

paragraph: To study which amino acids might be important in establishing the binding between peptide hormones and their receptors, Hofmann and his group began a systematic evaluation of the contributions each amino acid in the S-Peptide molecule made to the binding with S-Protein. The ability of synthetic analogs of S-Peptide to activate S-Protein correlated well with those of synthetic ACTH analogs to elicit hormonal activity: 1) only a portion of the S-Peptide chain was essential for re-establishing full activity with the S-Protein; 2) methionine was not important; 3) substituting one particular amino acid in the peptide not only destroyed the activity of the peptide but created an antagonist as well.

paragraph: Once it was established that peptide hormone receptors resided on the plasma membrane of cells, direct studies of the activity of ACTH derivatives that had so long eluded researchers finally became a reality. Hofmann and his colleagues isolated plasma membranes from beef adrenals and were able to conduct structure-activity studies with synthetic analogs of ACTH. Importantly they found that substituting Phenylalanine for theTryptophan residue in position 9 produced a peptide that bound to the ACTH receptor without activating it, i.e. and ACTH antagonist.

paragraph: Return to Biotin Receptor Isolation

paragraph: Hofmann came full circle to his early work on biotin when he attached this vitamin to insulin. He spent a sabbatical leave in Aachen in Helmut Zahn’s laboratory to learn techniques for modifying insulin). Using this information, he was able to chemically attach biotin to one of the three Lys residues of the insulin chains, thus producing an insulin that would bind to columns of avidin-Sepharose. The biotinyl-insulin receptor complex could then be displaced by biotin. With this tool, Hofmann and his coworkers successfully isolated a fully active insulin receptor. His final work was directed toward isolation of the ACTH receptor using the same approach used on the insulin receptor but by this time his health was in decline.

paragraph: Section::::Distinctions.

paragraph: Hofmann was the founder and the director of Protein Research Laboratory at the School of Medicine at University of Pittsburgh, a member of the National Academy of Sciences, Professor Emeritus of Experimental Medicine and Biochemistry at the University of Pittsburgh School of Medicine, and a member of American Association for the Advancement of Science.

paragraph: Cristóbal de Morales

paragraph: Cristóbal de Morales (c. 1500 – between 4 September and 7 October 1553) was a Spanish composer of the Renaissance. He is generally considered to be the most influential Spanish composer before Tomás Luis de Victoria.

paragraph: Section::::Life.

paragraph: Cristóbal de Morales was born in Seville and, after an exceptional early education there, which included a rigorous training in the classics as well as musical study with some of the foremost composers, he held posts at Ávila and Plasencia. All that is known about his family is that he had a sister, and that his father died prior to his sister's marriage in 1530. Others who lived in Seville are considered to be potential relatives of Morales. These include Cristóbal de Morales, a singer employed by Duke of Medina Sidonia in 1504; Alonso de Morales, treasurer of the cathedral in 1503; Francisco de Morales (d. 1505), a canon; and Diego de Morales, who was the cathedral notary in 1525.

paragraph: Earlier Spanish popes of the Borja family held a long tradition of employing Spanish singers in the papal chapel’s choir. This had a significant effect on Morales' success. Starting in 1522, there are three different occurrences where a Cristóbal de Morales was indicated to be an organist. There is little information of the whereabouts of Morales from January 1532 to May 1534. Morales is documented three times in Rome as ‘presbyter toletanus’ in May and December 1534. By 1535 he had moved to Rome, where he was a singer in the papal choir, evidently due to the interest of Pope Paul III who was partial to Spanish singers. He remained in Rome until 1545, in the employ of the Vatican; then, after a period of unsuccessfully seeking other employment in Italy (with the emperor, as well as with Cosimo I de Medici) he returned to Spain, where he held a succession of posts, many of which were marred by financial or political difficulties. While he was renowned by this time as one of the greatest composers in Europe, he seems to have been unpopular as an employee, for he began to have difficulty finding and keeping positions.

paragraph: Morales’s fame was due in part to the numerous testimonials of those around him. The Spanish theorist Juan Bermudo declared him “the light of Spain in music”, while in 1559, a Mexican choir – Spanish polyphony in particular was quick to reach the New World – sang his music at a service commemorating the death of Charles V the previous year. His fame held strong on into the 18th century when Andrea Adami da Bolsena, biographer of many papal musicians, praised him as the papal chapel’s most important composer between Josquin des Prez and Palestrina.

paragraph: There is some evidence that he was a difficult character, aware of his exceptional talent, but incapable of getting along with those of lesser musical abilities. He made severe demands on the singers in his employ, alienated employers, and likely came across as arrogant. In spite of this, he was regarded as one of the finest composers in Europe around the middle of the 16th century.Stevenson/Planchart, Grove

paragraph: On 4 September 1553 he asked to be considered for the position of "maestro de capilla" at the Cathedral of Toledo, where he had previously worked, but died shortly after in Marchena; the actual date is not known, but was before October 7.

paragraph: Section::::Music and influence.

paragraph: Almost all of his music is sacred, and all of it is vocal, though instruments may have been used in an accompanying role in performance. He wrote many masses, some of spectacular difficulty, most likely written for the expert papal choir; he wrote over 100 motets; and he wrote 18 settings of the Magnificat, and at least five settings of the Lamentations of Jeremiah (one of which survives from a single manuscript in Mexico). The Magnificats alone set him apart from other composers of the time, and they are the portion of his work most often performed today.

paragraph: Stylistically, his music has much in common with other middle Renaissance work of the Iberian peninsula, for example a preference for harmony heard as functional by the modern ear (root motions of fourths or fifths being somewhat more common than in, for example, Gombert or Palestrina), and a free use of harmonic cross-relations rather like one hears in English music of the time, for example in Thomas Tallis. Some unique characteristics of his style include the rhythmic freedom, such as his use of occasional three-against-four polyrhythms, and cross-rhythms where a voice sings in a rhythm following the text but ignoring the meter prevailing in other voices. Late in life he wrote in a sober, heavily homophonic style, but all through his life he was a careful craftsman who considered the expression and understandability of the text to be the highest artistic goal.

paragraph: Morales was the first Spanish composer of international renown. His works were widely distributed in Europe, and many copies made the journey to the New World. Many music writers and theorists in the hundred years after his death considered his music to be among the most perfect of the time.

paragraph: Section::::Music and influence.:Masses.

paragraph: Morales's masses, of which 22 survive, use a variety of techniques, including cantus firmus and parody. Six masses are based on Gregorian chant, and these are mostly written in a conservative cantus-firmus style. Eight of his masses use the parody technique, including one for six voices based on the famous chanson "Mille regretz", attributed to Josquin des Prez. The melody is arranged so that it is clearly audible in every movement, usually in the highest voice, giving the work considerable stylistic and motivic unity.

paragraph: Morales also wrote two masses on the famous "L'homme armé" tune, which was so often set by composers in the late 15th century and 16th century; one of these is for four voices, and the other for five. The four voice mass uses the tune as a strict cantus firmus, and the setting for five voices treats it more freely, migrating it from one voice to another.

paragraph: In addition, he wrote a "Missa pro defunctis" (a Requiem mass). Its peculiarities of transmission, as well as its apparent incomplete editing, suggest that it may be his last work.

paragraph: David Helfgott

paragraph: David Helfgott (born 19 May 1947) is an Australian concert pianist. Helfgott's life inspired the Academy Award-winning film "Shine", in which he was portrayed by actors Geoffrey Rush, Noah Taylor and Alex Rafalowicz.

paragraph: Section::::Biography.

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

paragraph: Helfgott was born in Melbourne to Polish Jewish parents Rachel (née Granek) and Elias Peter Helfgott. He won the state final of the ABC Instrumental and Vocal Competition.

paragraph: Section::::Biography.:London studies and mental illness.

paragraph: The awards he won at the Royal College of Music included the Dannreuther Prize for Best Concerto Performance, for his performance of Rachmaninoff's Piano Concerto No. 3, and the Marmaduke Barton Prize.

paragraph: During his time in London, he began showing more definite manifestations of schizoaffective disorder. He returned to Perth in 1970. The following year he married Clare Papp, who had four children. He worked as a rehearsal pianist for the Western Australian Opera Company.

paragraph: In 1983, his brother Les Helfgott found him working at a Perth wine bar called Riccardo's.

paragraph: Section::::Biography.:"Shine".

paragraph: Helfgott was the subject of the 1996 film "Shine", which dealt with the pianist's formative years and struggle with mental illness. Helfgott was portrayed by actors Geoffrey Rush (adult), Noah Taylor (teenager) and Alex Rafalowicz (child). His brother Les has described the portrayal of their father in both "Shine" and in Gillian Helfgott's biography as "all outright lies". David Helfgott's first wife Clare Papp has also said that Peter Helfgott was "quite badly maligned" in the film.

paragraph: In a letter to the editor of "Limelight" magazine, published in the September 2013 edition, Margaret and Les Helfgott refer to certain claims made in an article in the August 2013 edition and state that "there was no estrangement from members of David's family following his return to Australia. On the contrary, he moved straight back into the family home, and was cared for by our family. Dad was not 'overbearing', and his main objection to David's going abroad was his concern for his son's welfare."

paragraph: Section::::Biography.:Current musical career.

paragraph: Helfgott generally prefers to perform Romantic music, mostly Mussorgsky, Rachmaninoff, Chopin, Liszt, Schumann and Rimsky-Korsakov. However, his recordings and performances, especially that of Rachmaninoff's Piano Concerto No. 3, have been criticized as "pallid, erratic and incoherent." Of the two commercial recordings released by RCA, the American journal "Fanfare Magazine" was critical not only of Helfgott himself, but also of his producers, who were "marketing Helfgott's pain." The British magazine "Gramophone" was similarly scathing about the exploitative nature of their issue, which, the magazine said, falsely marketed Helfgott as an "unsung genius".

paragraph: On stage, Helfgott is known for his unusual platform manner. In 1997, critic Anthony Tommasini noted that Helfgott "stares into the hall and renders a nonstop commentary of grunts, groans and mutterings". Of a 1997 Helfgott recital in New Zealand, critic Denis Dutton wrote, "If, as Goethe claimed, architecture is frozen music, David Helfgott is the musician who finally proves the converse: that music can also be melted architecture — a structureless rubble of notes."

paragraph: Helfgott tours Australia annually and plays a small number of recitals in other countries.

paragraph: Helfgott's 2015 European tour was the subject of a documentary, "Hello, I Am David!"

paragraph: Section::::Personal life.

paragraph: Helfgott and his second wife, Gillian, live in The Promised Land, a valley near Bellingen in New South Wales.
