paragraph: John Wickham (attorney)

paragraph: John Wickham (June 6, 1763 – January 22, 1839) was an American Loyalist and attorney. He was one of the very few Loyalists to achieve any sort of national prominence in the United States after the American Revolution, and is best remembered for his role in the treason trial of former Vice President Aaron Burr in 1807.

paragraph: Section::::Early life and family.

paragraph: John Wickham was the oldest son of John Wickham Sr. and his wife Hannah Fanning. Wickham was born in the colony of New York in the village of Cutchogue. His father was a minister in the Anglican Church and a Loyalist, while his uncle Parker Wickham was also a Loyalist, and was active in the local government.

paragraph: After the American Revolution, Parker Wickham was banished from New York State under an act of attainder. Despite vigorously declaring his innocence, Parker Wickham was never granted a trial and was sentenced to death if he returned to New York. The unfairness of this bitter event gave John Wickham a lifelong appreciation of the sanctity of a person's legal rights, regardless of their political affiliation.

paragraph: Although John Wickham was a first cousin of Revolutionary War hero Nathaniel Fanning, he was heavily influenced by his uncle Edmund Fanning, a colonel (later a general) in the British Army. Fanning raised a unit called the King's American Regiment, which Wickham served in as an ensign. While traveling through Virginia, Wickham was captured and put on trial as a spy, but acquitted.

paragraph: Section::::Career.

paragraph: After the Revolutionary War, Wickham earned a degree in law from the College of William and Mary, where he became a close friend of John Marshall, later fourth Chief Justice of the U.S.. Wickham moved to Richmond and experienced tremendous financial success helping British merchants collect debts from American businessmen. He married his first cousin Mary Smith Fanning and had two children. After her early death, he married Elizabeth Seldon McClurg and had seventeen more children. McClurg was the daughter of Dr. James McClurg, Richmond Mayor, U.S. Congressman, and a delegate to the Philadelphia Convention, which framed the Constitution of the United States in 1787.

paragraph: In 1807, Wickham was lead counsel for Aaron Burr in his trial for treason. Although Thomas Jefferson took an active role in trying to have his former Vice President executed, Burr was found innocent. Wickham's old friend John Marshall was the presiding judge.

paragraph: Wickham bred racehorses. The best and most famous of them all was Boston, which he lost in a card game. Boston became one of the greatest horses of his time, and sired the greatest stud, Lexington.

paragraph: Section::::Legacy.

paragraph: His interment was located in Richmond's Shockoe Hill Cemetery. Wickham's numerous descendants continued to be active in Virginia affairs. His grandson Williams Carter Wickham was a Confederate general, and served as the first president of the Chesapeake and Ohio Railway. His granddaughter Charlotte Wickham was married to William Henry Fitzhugh Lee, the son of General Robert E. Lee. Wickham's residence, Wickham House, is now part of the Valentine Richmond History Center.

paragraph: Dominic Tang

paragraph: Dominic Tang Yee-ming, S.J. (Simplified Chinese: 邓以明; Traditional Chinese: 鄧以明; Pinyin: Dèng Yǐmíng; Wade-Giles: Teng I-ming; May 13, 1908 - June 27, 1995) was a Chinese Jesuit priest. Bishop in 1951 and later archbishop of Canton he spent twenty-two years in jail for his loyalty to the Catholic Church and died in exile in the United States.

paragraph: Section::::Jesuit and bishop.

paragraph: He was born in Hong Kong and decided to enter the Jesuit novitiate in Spain in August 1930. Back in China, he studied Catholicism in Shanghai. He was ordained as priest at the age of 33 on 31 May 1941 during World War II. After his ordination he worked as a parish priest, principal of a primary school and social welfare work in Canton (Guangzhou) province. Pope Pius XII

paragraph: appointed him on 1 October 1950 as Apostolic Administrator of Canton (Guangzhou), and on 13 February 1951 was ordained titular bishop of Elateia by Bishop Gustave Deswaziere, who said of him: "By accepting the appointment from the Holy See in these difficult times, the new bishop was showing absolute obedience and a spirit of sacrifice."

paragraph: Section::::Twenty-Two Years in jail.

paragraph: Archbishop Tang was arrested on February 5, 1958. The Chinese government charged him as "the most faithful running-dog of the reactionary Vatican." He stayed in jail for 22 years in prison because he refused to sever contact with the Pope, as ordered by the government. His sudden release in 1981 was due to a developing cancer, when he was given permission to leave China for a cancer operation in Hong Kong.

paragraph: Archbishop Tang was never brought to trial, and therefore, was never convicted of any crime. Since his release, he had never shown any bitterness for his 22 years of imprisonment even though no apology was ever expressed by the Chinese government. He recounted his experience in his memoir, "How Inscrutable His Ways!"

paragraph: Section::::Last years.

paragraph: On 26 May 1981, at the age of 73, he was appointed Archbishop of Canton (Guangzhou), which was rejected by China at once. He died in Stamford, Connecticut at age 87 and was buried at Mission Santa Clara de Asís in Santa Clara, California. In his book "How Inscrutable His Ways!" he summarized his attitudes, while incarcerated for 22 years:

paragraph: BULLET::::- "In prison, I always asked God to grant me the grace to progress in virtue., e.g. humility and obedience...I obeyed only the regulations which did not conflict with the principles of my faith. I want to be gentle and kind to others, without resisting ill-treatment from others; when controlled and walked on, I did not complain. There are many opportunities for practicing virtue in prison."

paragraph: BULLET::::- "When I was a seminarian, I learned to do God's will. God's will required me to practice virtue in prison. This was God's love for me".

paragraph: Jan Czochralski

paragraph: Jan Czochralski ( , ; 23 October 1885 – 22 April 1953) was a Polish chemist who invented the Czochralski process, which is used for growing single crystals and in the production of semiconductor wafers. He is the most cited Polish scholar. He was also known for extraordinary physical strength.

paragraph: Section::::Life and career.

paragraph: Czochralski was born in what was then Exin in the Prussian Province of Posen, German Empire (now Kcynia, Poland). Around 1900 he moved to Berlin, where he worked at a pharmacy. He was educated at Charlottenburg Polytechnic in Berlin, where he specialized in metal chemistry. Czochralski began working as an engineer for Allgemeine Elektrizitäts Gesellschaft (AEG) in 1907.

paragraph: He discovered the Czochralski method in 1916, when he accidentally dipped his pen into a crucible of molten tin rather than his inkwell. He immediately pulled his pen out to discover that a thin thread of solidified metal was hanging from the nib. The nib was replaced by a capillary, and Czochralski verified that the crystallized metal was a single crystal. Czochralski's experiments produced single crystals a millimeter in diameter and up to 150 centimeters long. He published a paper on his discovery in 1918 in the Zeitschrift für Physikalische Chemie, a German chemistry journal, under the title "Ein neues Verfahren zur Messung der Kristallisationsgeschwindigkeit der Metalle" [A new method for the measurement of the crystallization rate of metals], since the method was at that time used for measuring the crystallization rate of metals such as tin, zinc and lead. In 1948, Americans Gordon K. Teal and J.B. Little from Bell Labs would use the method to grow single germanium crystals, leading to its use in semiconductor production.

paragraph: In 1917, Czochralski organized the research laboratory "Metallbank und Metallurgische Gesellschaft", which he directed until 1928. In 1919 he was one of the founding members of the German Society for Metals Science (Deutsche Gesellschaft für Metallkunde), of which he was president until 1925. In 1928, at the request of the president of Poland, Ignacy Mościcki, he moved to Poland and became the Professor of Metallurgy and Metal Research at the Chemistry Department of the Warsaw University of Technology.

paragraph: After the war, he was stripped of his professorship by the communist regime due to his involvement with Germany during the war, although he was later cleared of any wrongdoing by a Polish court. He returned to his native town of Kcynia, where he ran a small cosmetics and household chemicals firm until his death in 1953.

paragraph: Lawrence Brown (jazz trombonist)

paragraph: Lawrence Brown (August 3, 1907 – September 5, 1988) was a jazz trombonist from California who achieved recognition with the Duke Ellington orchestra. Brown worked throughout his career as a session musician, as well as recording his own solo efforts.

paragraph: Section::::Early life.

paragraph: Lawrence Brown was born on August 3, 1907, in Lawrence, Kansas. When Brown was about six or seven years old in 1914 his family moved to Oakland, California. He began playing the violin at a young age, but quickly grew tired of it and turned to playing the tuba in his school’s band.

paragraph: Brown came from a musical background – his father was a preacher at the African American Episcopal church, where he often sang as a part of his sermons. Brown’s mother played the organ and the piano. Brown discovered the trombone while doing janitorial work at his father’s church. He stated that he wanted to replicate the sound of cello on a trombone.

paragraph: Section::::Biography.

paragraph: Brown began his career with Charlie Echols and Paul Howard. In 1932 Brown joined Duke Ellington. His great technical command of the instrument, with its "creamy tone, neurotic vibrato and range" was featured with Ellington's band every year in compositions such as "Blue Cellophane" and "Golden Cress."

paragraph: He left Ellington's band in 1951 to join a band led by former Ellington sideman Johnny Hodges, where he stayed until 1955. After leaving Hodges, Brown took a position for five years with CBS as a session player. In 1960, he rejoined Ellington and stayed with him until 1970. After leaving Ellington's band the second time at the age of 63, Brown quit performing completely.

paragraph: He fulfilled many roles in the Ellington Orchestra—as a balladeer, technical soloist, and section leader. His highly melodic ballad playing as well as his fast technical style inspired trombonists from Tommy Dorsey to Bill Harris.

paragraph: Brown was married to actress Fredi Washington. He died in Los Angeles, California.

paragraph: On June 25, 2019, "The New York Times Magazine" listed Lawrence Brown (jazz trombonist) among hundreds of artists whose material was reportedly destroyed in the 2008 Universal fire.

paragraph: Patrick Adamson

paragraph: Patrick Adamson (1537–1592) was a Scottish divine, and Archbishop of St Andrews from 1575.

paragraph: Section::::Life.

paragraph: Adamson was born at Perth where his father, Patrick Adamson, a burgess became Dean of Merchant Guildry.

paragraph: Adamson read philosophy at the University of St Andrews where he graduated as MA, later receiving a doctorate.

paragraph: Section::::Residence in France.

paragraph: After serving as Minister of Ceres, Fife for three years, in 1565, Adamson travelled to Paris as tutor to the eldest son of Sir James MacGill, the Lord Clerk Register (or "Clericus Rotulorum" of Scotland), serving there initially as a Knights Hospitaller chaplain.

paragraph: In June 1566 Adamson wrote a Latin poem on the birth of Prince James for Mary, Queen of Scots and her King consort, Lord Darnley; by describing the young James as "serenissimus princeps" "of France and England" which, leaked by a rival to Charles IX of France's courtiers, caused offence resulting in six months' detention in France. He was released only through the intercession of Queen Mary and other senior Scots nobility, thereafter relocating with his pupil to read Law at the University of Bourges.

paragraph: At the time of the 1572 St. Bartholomew's Day Massacre in Paris, Adamson had been living under cover at a tavern in Bourges for seven months, whose aged landlord was later reportedly thrown from the roof for offering charity to such a "heretic". Adamson's time at this "sepulchre" was spent composing a Latin poetical version of the Book of Job and a tragedy of Herod the Great, also written in the Latin language.

paragraph: Section::::Return to Scotland.

paragraph: In 1572 Adamson returned to Scotland becoming Minister of Paisley and was appointed an Elder in 1575. As Moderator in the following year, he together with his successor, David Lyndsay, presented the Church Assembly proceedings to Lord Morton, Regent of Scotland.

paragraph: In 1576, Adamson's consecration as Archbishop of St Andrews gave rise to a protracted conflict among the Presbyterian faction in the Assembly. Adamson had already been published with a catechism of Latin verse dedicated to James VI, which work was highly acclaimed even by his opponents, as well as a Latin translation of the Scots Confession of Faith.

paragraph: In 1578 Adamson submitted himself before the General Assembly, procuring a brief respite but the following year fresh accusations were brought against him. During these turbulent political times, he took refuge in St Andrews Castle, where a so-called "wise woman", Alison Pearson, who was later burned for witchcraft, cured his apparent "serious illness" (of perceived differing religious attitudes).

paragraph: Section::::Excommunication.

paragraph: In 1583 Adamson returned to public service by being posted as Scottish ambassador to the Court of St James's of Elizabeth I of England; whilst in London rumours were spread about his bad behaviour. On his return he implemented strong measures in parliament against Presbyterians, which as a consequence, accusations of heresy followed with excommunication at a provincial synod held at St Andrews in April 1586; however at the next General Assembly this verdict was rescinded as being "ultra vires".

paragraph: In 1587 and 1588, however, fresh accusations were brought against Adamson, and again he was excommunicated, though afterwards on the inducement of a former adversary, Sir Andrew Melville, his sentence was remitted. Meanwhile, Adamson had produced the Book of Lamentations, and the Book of Revelation in Latin verse which he dedicated to the king, but complained of his harsh treatment. King James was unmoved by Adamson's representations and transferred the episcopal revenues to his new favourite, Ludovic, 2nd Duke of Lennox.

paragraph: After falling from grace, Adamson spent the remaining three years of his life supported by charity.

paragraph: Section::::Legacy.

paragraph: Adamson possessed many gifts, being learned and eloquent, but also had grave defects of character; however the ""Recantation of Episcopacy" (1590)" attributed to him is probably spurious. His collected works, prefaced by a favourable panegyric, in the course of which it is said that "he was a miracle of nature, and rather seemed to be the immediate production of God Almighty than born of a woman", were published by his son-in-law, Thomas Wilson, in 1619.

paragraph: An heraldic memorial to Adamson survives at the ancient cathedral of St Andrews.

paragraph: By his wife Elizabeth "née" Arthur, Adamson had two sons, James and Patrick, and a daughter, Mariota, who married Sir Michael Balfour. His elder brothers, James and Henry, both served as Provost of Perth, and they were fathers of Henry and John Adamson respectively.

paragraph: Michio Suzuki (inventor)

paragraph: Section::::Biography.

paragraph: Section::::Biography.:Early years.

paragraph: Suzuki was born on the 18 of February 1887 (year 20 of the Meiji era) in the village of Nezuminomura (), Shizuoka prefecture, a small village of farmers and cotton-weavers. He was named after the historical figure and Shintō deity Sugawara no Michizane. As the son of cotton farmers, Suzuki worked in the fields from the age of seven or eight. However, Suzuki had always preferred more skilled work, so in 1901, at the age of fourteen, he started a seven-year apprenticeship under the strict guidance of the carpenter Kōtarō Imamura.

paragraph: When the Russo-Japanese war started in 1904, demand for skilled craftsmen was low, and Imamura was forced, along with his apprentice, to take on the work of maintaining the looms on a factory floor. Although Imamura considered this work unfit for a craftsman of his calibre, Suzuki flourished in this role, and it would provide inspiration for his later innovations.

paragraph: Section::::Biography.:Founding of Suzuki Loom Manufacturing.

paragraph: Suzuki finished his apprenticeship in 1908 at the age of 21, and in the following year Suzuki acquired control of his family's silkworm farm, quickly turning it into a loom manufacturing workshop. Due to his short stature, Suzuki was placeed into the secondary reserve category of the Japanese Imperial draft, which allowed him to divert his full attention to the manufacture of looms. His first innovation was a pedal-driven loom which he gave to his mother, who used it to weave cloth ten times faster than she had with her hand loom. Word quickly spread of Suzuki's invention, and he began the mass-manufacture of his new looms, founding the Suzuki Loom Manufacturing Company in October 1909.

paragraph: Over the next several years, Suzuki continued to innovate loom technology, often incorporating the advice of the weavers who used his looms. The company went public in 1920, and gained international fame a decade later with the production of a punchcard loom which was exported across Southeast Asia, due to its effectiveness in weaving sarongs.. However, this success was short-lived, as Japan's export market shrank rapidly following its secession from the League of Nations in 1933.

paragraph: Section::::Biography.:Suzuki Motor Company.

paragraph: Not content with restricting his innovations to the manufacture of looms, Suzuki also began experimenting with automotive technology in the mid-1930s, designing a prototype automobile in 1936. This work was disrupted by the second world war; like many civilian factories, the Suzuki Corporation had their equipment forcefully repurposed to aid in the war effort, in Suzuki's case for the purpose of manufacturing ammunition.

paragraph: After the war, the Suzuki corporation was one of many corporations which benefitted from the Japanese economic miracle, allowing Suzuki to resume his pre-war work on motorised transportation. In 1952, the Suzuki Corporation launched its first motorised vehicle, the "power-free", a motor-assisted bicycle with a 36cc. two-stroke engine. In 1954, just two years after the first production model of a motorised vehicle, the Suzuki Loom Manufacturing Company was renamed into the Suzuki Motor Corporation. In the following year, the company would launch its first car, the Suzulight, which anticipated the boom in kei cars and introduced several technical innovations.

paragraph: Section::::Biography.:Later Life.

paragraph: Suzuki stepped down as president of the Suzuki Motor Corporation in 1957 at the age of 70, becoming a member of the Board of Advisors; his son-in-law Shunzō Suzuki took over as the company's second president. Suzuki died in Hamamatsu city on the 27 October, 1982.

paragraph: Section::::Innovations.

paragraph: Suzuki was a prolific inventor throughout his life, holding more than 120 patents across several areas of engineering and several decades.

paragraph: Section::::Innovations.:Loom technology.

paragraph: BULLET::::- Wood-and-iron floor loom (1909);

paragraph: BULLET::::- Two-shuttle floor loom, able to weave striped cloth (1911);

paragraph: BULLET::::- The "Sarong loom", which used a punchcard system similar to Jacquard looms, but was remarkably efficient in its use of the cards (1930).

paragraph: Section::::Innovations.:Automotive technology.

paragraph: BULLET::::- The "Power-free", a two-stroke, motor-assisted bicycle (1952);

paragraph: BULLET::::- The Suzuki Suzulight, a small car which had double-wishbone coil-sprung suspension and rack-and-pinion steering, both of which were far ahead of their time (1956).

paragraph: Berthold II, Count of Andechs

paragraph: Berthold II of Andechs (also known as "Berthold IV", "Berchtold", or "Bertholf"; before 1099 – 27 June 1151), a member of the House of Andechs, was a German nobleman. He was a ruling count of Dießen and Andechs in the Duchy of Bavaria, of Plassenburg and Kulmbach in Franconia, as well as bailiff of Benediktbeuern Abbey.

paragraph: Section::::Life.

paragraph: Berthold's ancestry has not been conclusively established. According to the "Europäische Stammtafeln" genealogy, he was probably the elder son and heir of Count Arnold of Dießen (d. 1098) and his wife Gisela of Schweinfurt, a daughter of Duke Otto III of Swabia. He thereby was a grandson of Count Frederick II of Dießen (d. 1075).

paragraph: In 1098, he inherited his father's Bavarian possessions around the Ammersee and Lake Starnberg, as well as those in Upper Franconia. Around 1120, he could succeed the comital Sigimar dynasty as bailiff ("Vogt") of Benediktbeuern Abbey, and thereby increased his influence considerably. He co-founded the abbey of Dießen (where in 1130 he was documented to be bailiff) and maintained relations with Admont Abbey in the March of Styria. When his daughter Kunigunde entered Admont Abbey, he donated 15 "Hufen" (oxgangs) of land in Moosburg, Carinthia to the monastery.

paragraph: Around 1100, Berthold built a new residence on a hill outside Andechs, which later became the site of Andechs Abbey. A little later, in the early 1130s, he built Plassenburg Castle north of Bayreuth; from 1137, he styled himself "Count of Plassenburg". He probably founded the town of Kulmbach around the same time at the foot of the hill below Plassenburg Castle; the town is first mentioned in contemporary sources in 1174.

paragraph: He was married to Sophia (d. 1132), a daughter of Margrave Poppo II of Istria (d. 1103), a member of the House of Weimar-Orlamünde. She brought more prestige into the marriage, and the family's first possessions southeast of the Alps. She was of royal blood: her paternal grandmother was Sophia, a daughter of King Béla I of Hungary, from the House of Árpád. When Sophia's cousin, Margrave Poppo III of Istria died in childless, after 1141, his possessions were divided by the husbands of his widow and his sisters; thus Berthold, the Counts of Sponheim and the Counts of Bogen secured extensive possessions in Carniola, Lower Styria and Carinthia. Between 1143 and 1147, Bethold became Count of Stein.

paragraph: After 1140, Berthold spent much of his time at the court of King Conrad III of Germany; this was probably related to a dispute he had with the Archbishop of Bamberg, who felt that Berthold threatened his worldly power in Upper Franconia.

paragraph: Section::::Marriage and issue.

paragraph: Berthold married twice. His first wife was Sophia, a daughter of Margrave Poppo II of Carniola (d. 1103), a member of the House of Weimar-Orlamünde. Together, they had the following children:

paragraph: BULLET::::- Poppo (d. 1148)

paragraph: BULLET::::- Berthold III (d. 1188)

paragraph: BULLET::::- Otto (d. 1196), Bishop of Brixen and 1165 to 1170 as Otto VI and Bishop of Bamberg from 1177 until his death as Otto II.

paragraph: BULLET::::- Gisela (d. after 1150), married Count Diepold II of Berg-Schlklingen (d. 1160/1165)

paragraph: After Sophia's death, he married Kunigunde, a daughter of Count Egbert II of Formbach-Pitten, the heiress of Formbach. With her, he had the following children:

paragraph: BULLET::::- Mechtildis (d. 1160), Abbess of Edelstetten Abbey

paragraph: Jean-Baptiste Decoster (guide)

paragraph: Jean-Baptiste Decoster (1760–1826) was a Flemish farmer who became an unwilling guide for Napoleon Bonaparte during the Battle of Waterloo and later became a tourist battle field guide in the years following the battle.

paragraph: Section::::Biography.

paragraph: Decoster was born 13 October 1760 to Willem de Koster and Anna-Maria de Smet in the village of Korbeek-Lo near Leuven in Flemish Brabant. The contemporary spelling of his surname was usually "De Coster", with alternative spellings of "De Koster", "Dekoster" and even "Lacoste" in some French documents. By 1815 he resided near Plancenoit in Walloon Brabant. Early on 18 June 1815, after he had been to church, he went to the house of his brother in Plancenoit. There he was accosted by French staff officers and escorted to see Napoleon, who, having ascertained that he knew the locality, employed him as a local guide during the Battle of Waterloo. Decoster was an unwilling guide, but his recollections form an important primary source for the locations where Napoleon resided during the battle.

paragraph: Decoster's house stood on the eastern side of the Waterloo–Genappe main road south of the junction with the minor road to Plancenoit (south of La Belle Alliance and north of the farm of Rossomme).

paragraph: According to Decoster, Napoleon spent the early part of the Battle of Waterloo around Rossomme and then at about 17:00 moved to a hillock or a mound close to Decoster's house, where he remained until about 19:00. He then moved forward with his staff officers and the unwilling Decoster, to a location in the valley to the north of La Belle Alliance (and thus closer to the front line), and remained there during the attack by the French Imperial Guard. Then, according to Decoster, he accompanied Napoleon as far as Genappe during his flight after the retreat of the Guard and the general route that ensued.

paragraph: In the months after the battle, he was sought out by battle field tourists. Walter Scott wrote that he did not seem to have realised that he could charge these tourists for his services until Scott took a deposition from him and suggested that tourists such as himself would be willing to pay Decoster for guidance around the battlefield and to hear his reminiscences about the day. He continued guiding for twelve years, which was quite lucrative; in 1826 or 1827 his heirs purportedly inherited 300,000 francs.

paragraph: Horst Klinkmann

paragraph: Horst Klinkmann (born 7 May 1935) is a German professor for Internal medicine and Nephrology (kidney related medicine). A principal focus of his research is in the area of major medical implants. Between 1990 and 1992 he served, in succession to Werner Scheler, as the final president of the (East) German Academy of Sciences.

paragraph: In 1992 he was relieved of his professorship at Rostock University "on account of personality defects" (""wegen mangelnder persönl. Eignung""). There is a view, to which he himself subscribes, that after 1990 his career suffered from the perception that he had been too close to the political establishment in East Germany.

paragraph: Section::::Early life.

paragraph: Horst Klinkmann was born and grew up in Teterow, a small town near Rostock in northern Germany. His father was killed in the war which broke out when he was 4, and his mother died when he was 10. After this he was taken in by a local orphanage. In 1954 he entered the school of medicine at the University of Rostock, receiving his doctorate in 1959.

paragraph: Between 1960 and 1966, he continued with higher level medical studies at Rostock's Physiology Institute, also undertaking studies at the Semmelweis University in Budapest, where his interest in kidney function was encouraged by a Professor Bálint, and at the Kidney Clinic in Lund, Sweden. His habilitation followed in 1969.

paragraph: Section::::Career in East Germany.

paragraph: Between 1969 and 1971 Klinkmann was a visiting research professor at the University of Utah. In 1974 he became Director for Internal Medicine at Rostock University, a position he held for almost twenty years.

paragraph: In 1982 he was elected a corresponding member of the (East) German Academy of Sciences, becoming a full member in 1986 and, in 1990, the academy's last president.

paragraph: Section::::East German political activity.

paragraph: In 1974, he joined East Germany's ruling Socialist Unity Party ("Sozialistische Einheitspartei Deutschlands" / SED). Between 1984 and 1989 he served as a member of the party's district leadership team (""Bezirksleitung"") in Rostock. He was a chairman of the Scientific Advisory Committee to the East German Health Ministry. Reports also emerged later that during the 1980s he had passed personal information on colleagues to the East German Ministry for State Security (Stasi). Research into the archives indicated that from 1968 he had been identified in Stasi files under the code name "Informal Collaborator Ludwig" (""IM Ludwig""). His evident travel privileges reflected his international eminence, but there are indications that his cultivation of the political establishment was also helpful in this regard.

paragraph: Section::::Post-reunification career.

paragraph: Following reunification Klinkmann's reputation was tarnished in some quarters by his close association with the political rulers of the discredited East German political regime. He was relieved of his professorship at Rostock University in 1992.

paragraph: Though damaged, his academic career and reputation survived the criticism and more recently appear to have outlasted many of the critics.

paragraph: Between 1992 and 1994 Klinkmann worked as Professor for Nephrology at the University of Bologna, where in February 1993 he was appointed Dean of the International Faculty for Artificial Organs. He also served from 1990 till 2002 as a permanent guest professor for Bio-engineering at Glasgow's Strathclyde University where he had been named an honorary graduate in 1988.

paragraph: Section::::Personal.

paragraph: Horst Klinkmann met his future wife, Hannelore Kruse, when they were both medical students at Rostock. Her speciality is in Orthopedics. Both his wife and his son, Jens, are medically qualified.

paragraph: Section::::Awards and honours.

paragraph: Klinkmann's own curriculum vitae refers to more than fifty awards and seventeen honorary memberships of medical organisations around the world, listing a few of them. Reference is also made to his membership of the editorial boards of ten national and international scientific journals.

paragraph: He won the National Prize of East Germany twice, in 1977 and in 1985. He also was awarded the Patriotic Order of Merit in 1987.

paragraph: He was appointed a member of the New York Academy of Sciences and of the Royal Belgian Academy of Medical Sciences. In 1988 he became a Fellow of the (London based) Royal College of Physicians. He became president and then an honorary member of the International Society for Artificial Organs (1979-1984) and president of the European Transplant and Dialysis Society and received honorary doctorates from universities in Marseille, Debrecen, Glasgow and Brno.

paragraph: On 17 June 1985 he was awarded honorary citizenship of his birth town, Teterow on the occasion of its 750th anniversary.

paragraph: Gaspar Cervantes de Gaeta

paragraph: Gaspar Cervantes de Gaeta (Trujillo, 1511 – Tarragona, October 17, 1575) was a Spanish cardinal of the 16th century. He was a relative of the famous Spanish writer Miguel de Cervantes.

paragraph: Section::::Early years.

paragraph: He was born in Trujillo to Francisco de Gaeta and María Alonso de Cervantes. He studied at the Santa Cruz de Cañizares College of the University of Salamanca and at the University of Paris, and later he was appointed councillor and delegate of the Grand Inquisitor of the Kingdom of Aragon.

paragraph: Section::::Early ecclesiastical career.

paragraph: Cervantes was vicar general of the diocese of León, inquisitor and vicar general of the archdiocese of Seville, and inquisitor in Zaragoza and Naples. In 1561 he was elected archbishop of Messina, and later, in 1566, archbishop of Salerno, where he organized several ecclesial synods. Cervantes participated in the Council of Trent, where he stood out for his eloquence and wisdom, thus winning Pope Pius IV's confidence. This Pope entrusted him ecclesiastical matters of high importance. In 1568 was appointed archbishop of Tarragona, but he did not arrive to Tarragona until 1572.

paragraph: Section::::Archbishop of Tarragona and cardinal.

paragraph: Being archbishop of Tarragona, he was appointed cardinal-priest of Saint Vitale by Pope Pius V in the consistory of May 17, 1570. On March 9 of that year, he changed to the titular church of Saint Martino in Montibus, and in 1572 to Santa Balbina. For this reason, he spent four years in Italy since his appointment at the archdiocese of Tarragona. During his stay in Rome, he was Papal legate for the kingdoms of Spain. Pope Puis V named him a member of the jury that had to try the archbishop of Toledo, Bartolomé Carranza.

paragraph: Cervantes went back to Tarragona in May 1572. That year he founded the University of Tarragona, to which he donated a total amount of twenty thousand Catalan pounds.

paragraph: On April 16 of 1573, he authorized the village of Almoster to own its own baptismal fonts in its church, which spared its inhabitants the inconvenience of going to Reus for this matter.

paragraph: In 1574, Cervantes got the suppression of the monastery of Escornalbou from Pius V. The money that he got out of it went to the creation of the Seminary of Tarragona, founded in 1575. This seminary is considered the first one in Spain, which later in 1577, it was combined with the University of Tarragona.In 1575 he also founded a novitiate of the Society of Jesus. He also created a penitentiary canonry, founded a residence for Jesuit monks, a hospice for beggars, and invested on the orphanage. He considered that the inner side of the harbour of Tarragona could be assaulted easily, therefore he decided to extend the defenses adding a bastion to the Roman walls that took his name.

paragraph: He celebrated an ecumenical council from 1572 to 1574. His auxiliary bishop was Joan Terès i Borrull.

paragraph: In 1574, Tarragona underwent an episode of drought, and Cervantes tried to redirect a water channel from Puigdelfí. However, Cervantes died before he could finish this project, on October 17, 1575.

paragraph: In 1577, his remains were moved to a tomb between the chapel of Saint Michael and the chapel of the Eleven Thousand Virgins in the Tarragona Cathedral.

paragraph: Section::::Legacy.

paragraph: In Trujillo he ordered to build the altar in Saint Martin’s Church, where the remains of his mother were placed. The altar is known as the “Altar of Gaeta”. He gave at least sixteen 16th-century tapestries embroidered in Brussels to the Tarragona Cathedral In his will, Cervantes gave thorough details about the administrative regulation and running of the University of Tarragona, which prevented that, years later, the university was abolished by King Philip V of Spain.

paragraph: Cervantes published a work titled "Instruccions, y advertiments molt útils necessaris per les persones ecclesiàstiques y principalment per als qui tenen cura d’ànimes, així de com s’han de haver en les persones, com ensenyar e instruir a sos parroquians en públic y en lo secret de la Penitencia" (Barcelona, 1575). This work was originally published in Italian, and when he moved to Tarragona, he ordered to translate it into Catalan. Previously he published in Rome, in 1568, the "Constituzioni Sinodali della Chiesa di Salerno".

paragraph: Lope de Vega dedicated an epitaph to Cervantes in "Epitaphios fúnebres a diversos sepulcros".

paragraph: Cardinal Cervantes street in Tarragona is named after him.
