paragraph: Mikyö Dorje, 8th Karmapa Lama

paragraph: Mikyö Dorje (, 1507–1554) was the eighth Karmapa, head of the Kagyu school of Tibetan Buddhism.

paragraph: Section::::Biography.

paragraph: Mikyö Dorje was born in Satam, Kham. According to the legend, he said after being born: "I am Karmapa." and was recognized by Tai Situpa. In this case there was another child from Amdo who also claimed to be Karmapa. Gyaltsab Rinpoche, the regent of the region, thought of a test to decide who was the real Karmapa. This was the first time that a test was used to determine a reincarnation. Later this became the standard method for all major lamas.

paragraph: Mikyö Dorje left numerous Buddhist writings on Gongchik commentary Madhyamaka, Abhidharma, Tantric and Mahamudra texts, poetry (verses of profound wisdom) and even linguistics. He introduced special guru yoga in four sessions, which is the basis for Karma Kagyu teachings. He was also a skillful painter and metal craftsman with many famous thangkas and statues. The eighth Karmapa strongly influenced all arts of his time. He was invited by the emperor of China, however he said that the emperor would die before he could get to him; and according to the legend it happened as well.

paragraph: He selected as lineage holder the fifth Shamarpa, Konchog Yenlag, whom he had identified, and to whom he had passed on the Kagyu transmission, stating that the Karmapa and Shamarpa incarnations are inseparable, and of the same mindstream.

paragraph: He compiled a biography of Bodong Chogle Namgyal (1376–1451), one of the main teachers of Dorje Pakmo, entitled "Ocean of Miracles" (ngo mtshar gyi rgya mtsho).

paragraph: Chöying Dorje, 10th Karmapa

paragraph: Chöying Dorje (1604–1674) was the tenth Karmapa or head of the Kagyu school of Tibetan Buddhism.

paragraph: Chöying Dorje was born in the kingdom of Golok, Amdo. At the age of eight, he was recognized by Shamar Mipan Chökyi Wangchuk, the sixth Shamarpa and received the complete Kagyu transmissions. He traveled extensively through Tibet.

paragraph: During his life, Tibet faced inner instability as a pro-Kagyu king suppressed - against the will of the Karmapa - the Gelug school and forbade the search for the reincarnation of the Dalai Lama. The regent of the Gelug asked Güshi Khan, the warrior king of the Khoshut Mongols, for help.

paragraph: The Mongolian army attacked Shigatse and forced many monasteries to convert to the Gelug school. The civil war became such that Chöying Dorje had to flee Tibet and he appointed Goshir Gyaltsab as the temporary regent. The Kagyu school was almost completely annihilated in Tsang province, however, it remained in the provinces of Amdo and Kham.

paragraph: During his exile, Chöying Dorje travelled extensively through Bhutan, Amdo and Kham in East Tibet, Burma and Nepal, founding many monasteries in the process. He returned to Tibet twenty years later, however the Kagyu school was, by then, no longer the dominant school of Tibetan Buddhism.

paragraph: In 1674 the 5th Dalai Lama met with Chöying Dorje at the Potala Palace, and the reconciliation was welcomed by all after the many conflicts and difficulties.

paragraph: Section::::Art.

paragraph: Within the Tibetan artistic heritage, Chöying Dorje is perhaps the most exceptional artist of all times. The various biographies agree that the 10th Karmapa was a talented painter and sculptor already at a young age. It is also repeatedly stated that he was from a young age especially fond of Indian statues from Kashmir. This explains why many of the statues made by the Tenth Karmapa – regardless whether cast in metal or carved in ivory, wood, or conch shell, etc. – are stylistically very close to brass statues from Kashmir and Swat.

paragraph: However, Chöying Dorje was not simply copying ancient Indian and Tibetan works. Just inspired, he rather created his own work of art – albeit using ancient stylistic elements. As mentioned in his biographies, he had ample opportunity to study early statues during his recurring visits to the Jokhang temple in Lhasa. His activities as a painter were evidently influenced by the Chinese tradition, which also explains why Chöying Dorje painted many works on silk. Chinese influence in the works of Chöying Dorje has its origin in arhat paintings that he had seen in Tibet and copied several times. The Tenth Karmapa also encountered other Chinese silk paintings during his exile in Lijiang, where he stayed for several years at the court of the local ruler. Chöying Dorje also created paintings influenced by Kashmir and Western Tibetan styles.

paragraph: Oskar Sima

paragraph: Oskar Sima (31 July 1896 – 24 June 1969) was an Austrian actor who is best remembered for appearing in supporting roles in countless comedy films from the 1930s to the 1960s.

paragraph: Born in Hohenau an der March, Lower Austria, Sima attended high school in Vienna. After a brief tour in the army during World War I, he began acting in various theatrical productions in Berlin, Vienna, and other cities in Central Europe. He began his film career in 1921, and appeared in a number of German silent films early on. Sima was frequently cast as the comic villain whose machinations get everyone into trouble, although many a times his villainous stature was used to more chilling effect.

paragraph: In 1929, Sima married actress Lina Woiwode. The couple remained married until Sima's death.

paragraph: Along with Friedl Czepa, Fred Hennings and Leni Riefenstahl he was identified as being an active supporter of the Nazi Party. After World War II, Sima was a frequent character actor, causing one biographer to write, "... there was hardly a movie in which Oskar Sima didn't act."

paragraph: Sima suffered an aneurysm in 1968 and languished for nearly a year before succumbing to his illness on 24 June 1969. He was 72.

paragraph: Matthew Elliott (cricketer)

paragraph: Matthew Thomas Gray Elliott (born 28 September 1971) is an Australian former cricketer, who played as a left-handed opening batsman.

paragraph: Section::::Beginnings with Victoria.

paragraph: He made his debut for Victoria in the 1992–1993 season and soon established himself as one of the top opening batsmen in Australian domestic cricket, before progressing his way through to the Bendigo and District Cricket Association playing for the Bendigo Cricket Club in his role as an opening batsman.

paragraph: Section::::Test career.

paragraph: Elliot was called up to the Australian national team in the 1996–1997 season, making his Test debut against the West Indies in November 1996. Unfortunately for Elliott, in just his second Test match he was injured in a mid-pitch collision with teammate Mark Waugh, resulting in the need for knee surgery.

paragraph: Elliott returned for the 1997 tour of South Africa. On the Ashes series in the same year in England and scored two centuries, including a career-best 199. He also made his One Day International debut in 1997 in the Texaco Cup, but scored 1, making it his only appearance in a limited overs international. Elliott was named one of the Wisden Cricketers of the Year for 1998, although this wasn't enough for him to hold down a regular spot, and due to inconsistent performances after the Ashes series, he slipped out of the national team in 1999. Steve Waugh, in his autobiography, described Elliott as "technically gifted but temperamentally flawed" and "prone to serious bouts of self-doubt and a tendency to let injuries rule his thought processes." He stated that "[Elliott] would have been a perfect candidate...[for] a sports psychologist."

paragraph: He continued to perform at domestic level for Victoria and on the English county scene, and in the 2003–2004 season scored a remarkable 1381 runs in the Pura Cup, overtaking Graham Yallop's previous record (which was succeeded the very next year in 2004/05 by Michael Bevan). Rewarded with the Pura Cup Player of the Year Award and a new Cricket Australia contract, he was recalled to the national team for the first time in 5 years, albeit for one unsuccessful Test against Sri Lanka where he batted at number 3 in place of Ricky Ponting who took time off due to a family bereavement. Batting outside his normal position, Elliott scored just 0 and 1.

paragraph: This performance dented hopes of a resurgence in his international career greatly. In addition to this, he also had a below-par season in the subsequent 04/05 domestic season for Victoria, averaging in the mid-30s.

paragraph: Section::::Move to South Australia.

paragraph: In April 2005 Elliott made a request to leave the Victorian team to join South Australia as player-coach; this was originally rejected by Cricket Victoria although Elliott appealed their decision. On 5 May a Cricket Australia grievance tribunal overturned Cricket Victoria's decision, freeing the way for Elliott to join South Australia.

paragraph: In the 05/06 season Elliott struggled with injury and inconsistent form.

paragraph: The 2006/7 Australian domestic season was equally disappointing, with just 193 runs at 13.8 from seven first class (Pura Cup) games. As a result, he was axed from the South Australian state side. Curiously his form in the domestic one-day competition was much better with 465 runs at 51.6, highlighted by two centuries.

paragraph: Section::::English County Cricket.

paragraph: On the English county scene, Elliott made a century at Lord's in the 2002 C & G final to win the trophy for Yorkshire - their first one-day trophy for 15 years. He signed a short-term contract for the 2007 season with Yorkshire CCC. This was as cover for Yorkshire's primary overseas player Younis Khan, who was due to be participating in the 2007 Cricket World Cup. However, following Pakistan's untimely exit, Younis was able to take up his role at his new county from the start of the season, thus Elliott was left surplus to requirements. Following the cancellation, Elliott agreed to join Glamorgan on a four-week deal as cover for Australian left-handed batsmen Jimmy Maher.

paragraph: Antun Aleksandrović Dalmatin () was 16th century translator and publisher of Protestant liturgical books.

paragraph: Section::::Name and early life.

paragraph: Antun's surname is an exonym which means "of Dalmatia". Dalmatin was probably from Senj.

paragraph: Section::::South Slavic Bible Institute.

paragraph: The South Slavic Bible Institute () was established in Urach (modern-day Bad Urach) in January 1561 by Baron Hans von Ungnad, who was its owner and patron. Within the institute Ungnad set up a press which he referred to as "the Slovene, Croatian and Cyrillic press" (). The manager and supervisor of the institute was Primož Trubar. The books they printed at this press were planned to be used throughout the entire territory populated by South Slavs between the Soča River, the Black Sea, and Constantinople. For this task, Trubar engaged Stjepan Konzul Istranin and Antun Dalmatin as translators for Croatian and Serbian. The Cyrillic text was responsibility of Antun Dalmatin.

paragraph: Language used by Dalmatin and Istranin was based on northern-Chakavian dialect with elements of Shtokavian and Ikavian. People from the institute, including Trubar, were not satisfied with translations of Dalmatin and Istranin. Trubar and two of them exchanged heated correspondence about correctness of the language two of them used even before the first edition translated by Dalmatin and Istranin was published and immediately after it. For long time they tried to engage certain Dimitrije Serb to help them, but without success. Eventually, they managed to engage two Serbian Orthodox priests, Jovan Maleševac from Ottoman Bosnia and Matija Popović from Ottoman Serbia.

paragraph: Gongsun Zan

paragraph: Gongsun Zan () (died March 199), courtesy name Bogui, was a military general and warlord who lived during the late Eastern Han dynasty of China.

paragraph: Section::::Life.

paragraph: Little is known of Gongsun Zan's early life. He and Liu Bei studied under the tutelage of Lu Zhi. At the time, the administrator of his home commandery appreciated Gongsun Zan's impressive looks and booming voice, so he arranged for his daughter to marry him. Gongsun Zan was deployed by He Jin to quash rebellions in the north which he did successfully. Following a misunderstanding with his lord, Liu Yu, he attacked him and won control of the surrounding areas; however, contrary to popular belief, he was never formally appointed as a commandery administrator. During this time his former classmate Liu Bei came to serve him and got allocated the city of Pingyuan to defend.

paragraph: To the south, the two brothers Yuan Shao in the north and Yuan Shu in the south vied for supremacy over central China. Gongsun Zan formed an alliance with Yuan Shu and sent his second cousin, Gongsun Yue, to help Yuan Shu's general, Sun Jian, retake Yangcheng. However, Gongsun Yue died in the campaign. Using this as pretext, Gongsun Zan attacked Yuan Shao after his initial plan to gain Han Fu's lands went awry. However, Gongsun Zan was defeated by Yuan Shao at the Battle of Yijing. He committed suicide by setting himself on fire, after killing his wife and sisters.

paragraph: Section::::Family.

paragraph: BULLET::::- Gongsun Yue (公孫越), Gongsun Zan's younger second cousin. Gongsun Zan sent him with 1,000 troops and supplies to assist the warlord Yuan Shu, who was in a proxy war with his half-brother Yuan Shao. Gongsun Yue died after being hit by a stray arrow during the Battle of Yangcheng in 191 while fighting alongside Sun Jian (Yuan Shu's proxy) against Zhou Yu (Renming) (Yuan Shao's proxy). Gongsun Zan used Gongsun Yue's death as an excuse to declare war on Yuan Shao.

paragraph: BULLET::::- In the 14th-century historical novel "Romance of the Three Kingdoms", Gongsun Yue is Gongsun Zan's younger brother. Gongsun Zan sends Gongsun Yue as a messenger to demand that Yuan Shao keep his promise by dividing Ji Province between him and Gongsun Zan after seizing it from Han Fu, but Yuan Shao refuses. While Gongsun Yue is on his return journey, Yuan Shao orders his men to pretend to be Dong Zhuo's soldiers and then ambush and kill Gongsun Yue. Gongsun Zan sees through Yuan Shao's ruse and subsequently declares war on him.

paragraph: BULLET::::- Gongsun Xu (公孫續), Gongsun Zan's son. During the Battle of Yijing (198–199), Gongsun Zan sent him to seek reinforcements from the Heishan bandits led by Zhang Yan. They returned too late as Gongsun Zan had already been defeated by Yuan Shao and had committed suicide along with the rest of his family. Gongsun Xu later met his end at the hands of the Tuge (屠各), a Xiongnu tribe.

paragraph: Section::::In "Romance of the Three Kingdoms".

paragraph: Gongsun Zan is a character in the 14th-century historical novel "Romance of the Three Kingdoms", which romanticises the events before and during the Three Kingdoms period of China. He leads an elite cavalry unit called the "White Riders" and has served on the northern and eastern frontiers of the Han Empire by defending the borders from incursions by various non-Han Chinese tribes. In 191, Gongsun Zan joins the coalition against Dong Zhuo, the warlord who seized power in Luoyang and holds the figurehead Emperor Xian hostage. After the coalition breaks up, he gets into a rivalry with Yuan Shao over the territories in northern China and engages him in a series of battles throughout the 190s, starting with the Battle of Jieqiao and ending with his defeat and death at the Battle of Yijing.

paragraph: In the novel, Gongsun Zan is nicknamed "White Horse General" because the elite cavalry unit he leads is made up completely of horses of pure white. The reason for doing so is that he knows that the non-Han Chinese tribes consider white horses sacred animals so they will run away when they encounter an enemy unit riding white horses in battle.

paragraph: Section::::In "Records of the Three Kingdoms".

paragraph: Gonsun Zan's white horse volunteers (白馬義從) has historical basis, and appears in the historical records as an elite mounted unit on white horses which formed the core of his fighting force. The Records of Three Kingdoms describes how their "flags and armour lit up Heaven and Earth" at the Battle of Jieqiao.

paragraph: John Blackner

paragraph: John Blackner (1770–1816) was editor of "The Statesman" and author of a history of Nottingham.

paragraph: Section::::Biography.

paragraph: Blackner was born at Ilkeston, Derbyshire, about 1770. After serving an apprenticeship to a stocking-maker in his native place, he migrated to Nottingham. His education was wholly neglected in early youth and it is related that he could not even write his name when he was married.

paragraph: Blackner however had strong natural abilities including a facility for making rhymes, and a fluency of speech together with being tall and commanding. As a youth he had always been obliged to get some companion to record his ideas. Blackner now learnt to write and as he took a warm interest in the politics of those excited times he became an occasional contributor to the columns of the "Nottingham Review" a newspaper which represented the party to which he attached himself the low whig or radical party. His ardent radical sympathies afterwards brought him into prominence as a leader of a section of local politicians, and he acquired such literary ability and reputation as to obtain in May 1812 the editorship of the radical daily paper " The Statesman," published in London.

paragraph: Through failure of health he held this post only a short time.

paragraph: Soon afterwards he took the editorship of the "Nottingham Review." He published several

paragraph: pamphlets, including one in 1805 on the Utility of Commerce,' and in 1815 he issued his "History of Nottingham" (pp. 459), a work which displays much industry and research, some complained of its bombast and party bias. His works are much referred to today by local historians, moreover they record interesting snippets such as the "Brotherhood of the Chair". This group met at a house near St Anns Well where they would sit in Robin Hood's chair and wear Robin Hood's hat. As Blackner notes the group consumed a large amount of ale.

paragraph: Blackner is also quoted a source for the origin of the term "Luddite". According to Blackner, who himself was suspected of involvement with the Luddite group, the name came from a youth called Ludlam who when asked by his father to square his needles just took a hammer and beat them to a heap.

paragraph: He was the landlord for some years of the Rancliffe Arms, Sussex Street, Nottingham, and died there on 22 December 1816.

paragraph: After Blackner's death, James Orange reviewed his contribution to the history of Nottingham and noted the accuracy of his dates, however he was surprised that Blackner had ever risen to be the editor of a national newspaper.

paragraph: Gaston Orellana

paragraph: Gaston Orellana, (born 18 July 1933) is a Spanish painter. Orellana was born in Valparaiso, Chile in 1933, son of Spanish parents Armando de Orellana, an engineer and Spanish diplomat, and Ernestina del Transito née Morgadon. Although born abroad, Orellana was born into the ancient aristocratic house of Orellana la Vieja, from Extremadura, Spain. He has since lived in Spain, Italy, the United States the UK and France.

paragraph: Section::::Early career.

paragraph: Orellana was born in the city of Valparaiso during his father's tenure as Spanish special diplomatic representative to Chile, his siblings having been born during similar diplomatic residencies abroad in Brazil and Argentina. Orellana first studied Fine Art at the experimental Escuela Experimental de Educación Artistica Santiago, Chile. He then continued his studies at the Escuela de Bellas Artes de Viña del Mar and perfectioned his skill with the violin at the Conservatorio de Música within the same school. In 1954, Orellana meets Pablo Neruda, establishing an intense relationship that was to last until the death of the poet. This friendship was to greatly affect Orellana, to whom the poet dedicated the poem "Recibimiento" in 1966, praising "what lies in the work/ of Orellana/ is as alive/ as a life, as secure as/ an object, as mysterious/ as a stone." Orellana briefly studied at the Universidad de Chile reading Archaeology and Anthropology, studies that were followed by a journey of archaeological studies through Northern Chile, Peru, Bolivia and Argentina, led by Father Le Perc and the famous archaeologist Antonio Diez de Medina. Following this intense period of studies in archaeology, which were to greatly affect his work to this day, Orellana moved to Spain, first in a brief spell in Majorca and then to settle in Madrid, where he became a founding member of the Grupo Hondo in 1959.

paragraph: In his earliest works, Orellana shows some of the signs that were to become the Neo-figuration, with expressive and yet undefined figures. Orellana's works from this period are distinguished for their almost monochromatic nature, where most figures appear in black and grayscale, to the point that, even though there is a predominant use of oxides and sand, they had an almost watercoulour appearance. On 8 December 1959, the Grupo Hondo proclaims its Neo-figurative theoric principles in a manifesto written by the poet Manuel Conde, of which Orellana is a founding member. In this period, Orellana reaches maturity as an artist, and his paintings reach the confluence of informal abstraction and the mannerism of an existential figuration that would seem even mystical in its representation. In this period, Orellana's work is enriched in terms of colour and texture, developing his artistic expression in a most definite manner.

paragraph: Section::::New York years.

paragraph: In 1964, Orellana participates in the opening exhibition of the Juana Mordó Gallery, in Madrid, Spain, with whom he was to establish a long-lasting business relationship. In the following year, he moves to New York, even though he continued to travel extensively to Spain, Italy, Switzerland and the UK. New York proved to be a melting pot of artistic creation that greatly encouraged the artist through its lively artistic scene. Friendships such as the Duke of Bedford's drew him into the creative circles, where he met James Johnson Sweeney, with whom he established a powerful friendship; Bob Dylan, Arthur Miller, whom he met at the showing of the film "Good Times Wonderful Times", at the congress of the Pen & Pencil Club; the dealer Martha Jackson; Allen Ginsberg; Leon Golub, Lawrence Alloway. In 1966 he started a thriving business relationship with the New York dealer Martha Jackson who introduced him to the movement that was to result in the historic exhibition at the MOMA "The New Image of Man". In 1969, with the poet Allen Ginsberg and other artists, he participates in numerous protests against the Vietnam war. In the same year Orellana was assaulted in his studio in Chinatown by a band of Chilean criminals and drug addicts, which almost resulted in his losing his life. In 1967 he exhibits at the Bienville Gallery, in New Orleans, for the first time. In this period, Orellana participated in several academic pursuits: lecturing at The State University of New Jersey; participating as a member of the Art Coalition; and publishing several anti-belligerent articles in New York's Village Voice and the magazine Ramparts.

paragraph: The paintings from this period are most remarkable for the vividness of the extreme violence and even the human denigration that is often depicted. Such representations are however, also rich in a lyrical content that was to characterise the artist from then on. The juxtaposition of the international tendencies that formed Orellana took a more definite form in this period: his old Spanish inheritance, the input from America, the wealth of archaeological culture and Italy with Conceptualism and Arte Povera. The artist had a solo show at the stand of Juana Mordo at the FIAC 1978, Paris, France. These amalgamated into a whole that paved the way for new developments in Orellana's work.

paragraph: Section::::Recent years.

paragraph: Orellana moved back to Europe in 1984, when he lived between his studio in Madrid, Spain, Albisola, Italy. In 1985 he left the other studios, and moved to Riva del Garda, Italy, where he was to enjoy an incredibly prolific artistic period, and where he was regularly visited by critics such as Tommaso Trini and dealers as Herstand from New York and Marconi from Milan as well as eminent international politicians. Orellana and his family moved back to Spain in 1993, where they settled in Trujillo, Extremadura, and then finally in 2000 to France, where he still lives and works.

paragraph: In 1986 the Museo Español de Arte Contemporaneo hosted an exhibition of his works from 1970 to 1986. In 1991 he exhibited at the Spazio Ansaldo, Milan, in an installation designed by Renzo Piano, and more spectacular was an exhibition at the Taipei Fine Arts Museum, Taipei, Taiwan, which was widely commented upon by the critic Roberto Tassi. In 1995, an incredible exhibition was shown at the Casa Das Artes in Vigo Spain, crucial from a critical point of view, as the critic Marco Ricardo Barnatán wrote in the exhibition catalogue, for its statement of Orellana's renewed aesthetic and realisation ideals and practice, a trait that indeed has marked the work of the artist ever since. Christian Stein, at the gates of the Spanish Pavilion at the 1995 Venice Biennale, declared that "Orellana is the most interesting artist that Spain has created since Tàpies and Miró". In 1998, his gallery, Christian Stein, showed his works in a solo pavilion at the ARCO art fair in Madrid. In a tribute to the power and human drama of Orellana's late 1960s works, a nightmarish 1967 piece was included in the major 2005 exhibition held in Turin titled "Il Male" that comprised works of leading artists from the quattrocento to the present. The curator, Teresa Sacchi Lodispoto, commented "In a nightmarish atmosphere reinforced by a palette of chromatic contrasts of Goya-like memory and in equilibrium between bright chromatism and restrained sobriety, it is impossible to understand what, in effect, is revealed before the eyes of the viewer".

paragraph: The work of this period shows a marked evolution from the works of the New York years, with colossal ensemblages, graffito technique achieved by scraping the bare oil paint from the canvas, revealing the background, and the collage of various elements, especially metal and ancient mirrors. Exemplary of this initial transition is the series "Bronx Around", exhibited both in Milan and Caceres, Spain. Jole de Sanna presented the latest works of the artist in the volume "Gaston Orellana Orestea", where she writes that "The entire history of painting and the experience of art during the second half of the XXth Century do not escape being captured by Orellana". Although internationally renowned, there have been few opportunities to see paintings of Gaston Orellana in Britain recently. Since its foundation in 2018, the Archivo Gastón Orellana is the entity responsible for the preservation, protection and dissemination of Gastón Orellana’s artistic and intellectual work, including authentication and cataloguing.

paragraph: Aprus of Toul

paragraph: Saint Aprus (or Aper, ; died 507) was the seventh bishop of Toul. He has been considered a saint in Toul since the 10th century. His feast day is celebrated on 15 September.

paragraph: Section::::Life.

paragraph: The brother of Saint Apronia (Evronie), Saint Aprus was born near Trier. He may have studied as a lawyer.

paragraph: According to his official hagiography, Aprus was born in Trancol near Troyes. Other popular variants state his birthplace as Trier, the center of the ecclesiastical province of Belgica prima. Whatever the venue, Troyes or Trier, he was a man of law, perhaps serving an advocate until he decided to become a priest. On the death of Bishop St. Ursus (Latin for bear), the faithful of Toul called for Aprus/Aper (Latin for wild boar) to become bishop. He was elected as bishop and his episcopate lasted for seven years.

paragraph: Aprus distributed all his goods to the poor and just lived in his diocese, admired and revered by his followers. Meanwhile, he fought strongly against the raging paganism in the countryside. He preached in particular in the city of Grand (Vosges), which was a center of pagan pilgrimage, and still has important remains Gallo-Roman ruins.

paragraph: Section::::Burial.

paragraph: Aprus tried to commence the construction of a large church outside of Toul. It was to be dedicated to Saint Maurice, but he died before seeing this come to a pass. When he died, the people of the Toul interred his remains in that church under construction as per his will. A community of clerics in the eighth century watched over his church and sanctuary.

paragraph: Section::::Veneration.

paragraph: According to the hagiography, Aprus' final resting place is said to be the site of many miracles until the invasions of the 10th century. His relics remained preserved and hidden behind the walls of Toul. Many years later, these relics, which had reinstated the buildings of the Saint-Maurice church, were stolen by monks and rediscovered in 978 AD. According to the "Vita Sancti Gerardi", Bishop St. Gerard I of Toul (r. 963–994) had the relics of both Saint Mansuy and Aprus brought into Toul and placed in the church of St. John the Baptist while he was ill.

paragraph: In 1802, Bishop of La Fare, Bishop of Nancy, arranged the transfer of head of Aprus it installs in the eponymous church. This church was later destroyed. The windows of the monument that tell the life of the saint were destroyed during the 1914–18 war. The St Epvre Basilica was constructed in its place.

paragraph: Today in Lorraine, forty churches bear the name of Aprus (Èvre) including:

paragraph: Georges d'Aubusson de La Feuillade

paragraph: Georges d'Aubusson de La Feuillade (1609 to 1697) was a French Roman Catholic clergyman under Louis XIV, who served as Archbishop of Embrun (1649-1668), then Bishop of Metz (1669-1697). He also held a number of diplomatic posts and actively supported measures against French Huguenots; he died in May 1697 and was buried in Metz Cathedral.

paragraph: Section::::Early life.

paragraph: Georges d'Aubusson de la Feuillade was born in 1609 near Aubusson, Creuse, second of five sons of François, Comte d'Aubusson (ca 1590 to 1632) and Isabeau Brachet de Pérusse. Both his father and

paragraph: elder brother Leon (? to 1648) were senior aides to Gaston, Duke of Orléans (1608-1660), heir to the French throne until the birth of Louis XIV in 1638. He had three younger brothers, Gabriel-Bratchet (? to 1638), Paul (1622-1646) and François d'Aubusson de La Feuillade (1631 - 1691). Of his five sisters, Elizabeth (1624-1704) became Abbess of the convent of Sainte-Marie de la Règle in 1679 but little is known of the others, who all appear to have become nuns.

paragraph: Section::::Career.

paragraph: The first half of the 17th century in France was a period of intense civil strife; the 1590 Edict of Nantes ended the French Wars of Religion but continued state persecution caused a series of Huguenot rebellions in the 1620s. This was followed by the 1635-1659 Franco-Spanish War, accompanied by an internal power struggle during the minority of Louis XIV that led to the 1648-1653 civil wars or Fronde. Their impact is reflected in the history of Georges's immediate family; his father was killed in 1632 at Castelnaudary, while three of his four brothers also died in battle, Leon at Lens in 1648, Gabriel-Brachet at Saint-Omer in 1638 and Paul at Mardyck in 1646.

paragraph: La Feuillade graduated from the Sorbonne university in April 1639 and joined the Abbey of Solignac; in 1645, he was nominated as one of the delegates from the Diocese of Limoges to the Assembly of the French clergy in Paris. Control of the Assembly was an important political post, since the conflict between Protestant and Catholic was mirrored by internal divisions among French Catholics. Some were theological, like the dispute over Jansenism, others political, such as resisting demands by the regional Parlements that the Church pay taxes or the re-admission of Assembly members expelled by Cardinal Richelieu in 1641.

paragraph: As a sign of his growing stature, in September 1649 he was made Archbishop of Embrun, a Roman Catholic Archdiocese in an area historically dominated by Huguenots. During the "Fronde des nobles" (1650–1653), the La Feuillade brothers supported the Court party led by Louis XIV's mother, Anne of Austria and Cardinal Mazarin. Georges was appointed President of the Assembly of Clergy in March 1651 and published an attack on Charles de Fiesque, a senior aide to Condé, one of the Fronde's leaders. He reaped the benefit of his support for the Crown after October 1652 when the Fronde ended in a crushing defeat for its leaders.

paragraph: He served as Ambassador to the Republic of Venice (1659-1661), followed by Spain (1661-1669), after which he was appointed Bishop of Metz, a position he retained until his death in 1697. This was an important and sensitive position; Metz had been occupied by French troops since 1552 but officially remained part of the Holy Roman Empire until ceded to France in the 1648 Peace of Westphalia. He also published a number of tracts backing the policies of Louis XIV, including measures against French Protestants that culminated in the 1685 Edict of Fontainebleau and the French claim to the Spanish throne.

paragraph: Allegedly senile in the last years of his life, a financial audit of the diocese after his death in 1697 showed that a large sum of money was missing. The report concluded this had been stolen by his nephew Louis d'Aubusson de La Feuillade; Louis XIV wanted to dismiss him from the army but a family connection, Louis de Pontchartrain, persuaded him not to do so.

paragraph: In his "Mémoires" written in the 1720s, Saint-Simon (1675-1755) describes the bishop as overly familiar and avaricious, although the accuracy of these comments is hard to assess. He was equally scathing in his assessment of François de La Feuillade, who died in 1691 when Saint Simon was 16 and in general, uniformly hostile to Louis XIV and his supporters, the majority of whom he dismissed as commoners.

paragraph: Luigi Carlo Giuseppe Bertero (b. Santa Vittoria d'Alba, October 14, 1789 d. April 1831, - South Pacific Ocean) was an Italian physicist, physician, naturalist, botanist, bryologist and pteridologist. He explored the West Indies between 1816 and 1821 coinciding with the Venezuelan scientist and later president, José María Vargas in Puerto Rico although there is no evidence of any exchange between them. During his two voyages, February 1828 to September 1830 and between March and May 1830, he collected and described the flora of Chile. He also examined plants native to the Pacific island of Juan Fernandez, as well as Guadeloupe, Haiti, Puerto Rico, and Colombia. He is presumed lost in a shipwreck while sailing from Tahiti to Chile.

paragraph: Peter August Poppe (17 August 1870 – 13 February 1933) was a Norwegian-born engineer, designer and developer of engines and complete motor vehicles for the British motor industry. He was a co-founder of the engine manufacturer White and Poppe.

paragraph: Section::::Biography.

paragraph: Poppe was born at Skogn in Nord-Trøndelag, Norway. He graduated from Horten Technical School ("Horten tekniske skole") in Vestfold. He was employed by Kongsberg Gruppen and later lent by them to the weapons factory, Steyr Mannlicher at Steyr, Austria.

paragraph: In August 1897 he met with trained watchmaker Alfred James White, son of English watchmaker, Joseph White (1836-1906). In September 1899, with financial backing from the White family they incorporated White and Poppe Limited and started in business in Coventry, England. Peter August Poppe was technical director. In November 1919 the White family sold their share to steady customers, Dennis Brothers Limited of Guildford. Poppe remained with the business until 1923 then joined the Rover Company as chief engineer.

paragraph: It is claimed that after the Armistice in 1918 Poppe's partner, White, was offered a knighthood which he declined because Poppe as a foreign national was unable to receive the same honour.

paragraph: He had been elected a member of the Institution of Automobile Engineers by 1909.

paragraph: Poppe put into production at Rover his already completed design for a new 2-litre car. It became their 14/45. Poppe's new engine was considered very advanced but complex particularly in its valve gear. There were numerous other smaller innovative complexities as well. The resulting car though very comfortable was heavy and considered underpowered. Within twelve months Rover had added a 2.4-litre 16/50 to their range, a sister car with a larger engine. They were a disaster for Rover, expensive to build and not popular with customers. Around 2,000 were built. So Poppe designed another car with a 2-litre six-cylinder engine but similar results. His last design became the foundation of all Rover engines until 1948. Rover was saved by Spencer Wilks' new management practices and engineering techniques.

paragraph: Eventually in 1929 Peter Poppe fell out with managing director Frank Searle and Poppe left in September that year.

paragraph: He had a stroke and died suddenly at Coventry on 13 February 1933, aged 62. His wife had predeceased him by five years.

paragraph: Eldest son Erling Poppe is separately mentioned. Olaf Poppe was Rover's chief planning engineer in 1949 and was also one of the team that developed Rover's gas turbines. In the same period Gunnar Poppe was works manager for Sunbeam-Talbot having joined the Rootes Group after ten years, 1923 to 1932, with Austin. He was captain of the London Welsh Rugby fifteen.

paragraph: Bertram Ross

paragraph: Bertram Ross (November 14, 1920 – April 20, 2003) was an American dancer best known for his work with the Martha Graham Dance Company, with which he performed for two decades. He was Martha Graham’s longtime dance partner and the originator of male roles in most of her major ballets from the 1950s and 1960s, including Adam in Embattled Garden, and both Agamemnon and Orestes in Clytemnestra. After leaving Graham's company, Ross taught, choreographed and formed his own dance company. In later life, he toured in a cabaret duo with his real life partner, the composer and pianist John Wallowitch.

paragraph: Section::::Early life.

paragraph: Ross was born Bertram Ross Prensky in Brooklyn, New York. He was introduced to the performing arts at an early age. At the urging of his mother, he studied piano, but initially was more interested in painting. He attended Oberlin College, then spent World War II as a mapmaker for the Army. In 1947, he returned to New York to continue painting studies at the Art Students League. Shortly thereafter, he discovered Martha Graham.

paragraph: Section::::Dance career.

paragraph: Ross began taking classes at Martha Graham's School under the GI Bill. When he received a scholarship from Connecticut College he took dance classes there as the first male student, then toured briefly with the Dudley-Maslow-Bales Dance Trio.

paragraph: In 1949, Graham invited Ross to join her company. In 1953, he first partnered her as Oedipus, to her Jocasta, in the ballet "Night Journey". Merce Cunningham had left the troupe in 1951, so she needed replacements for some of his roles. Graham was 59 years of age at the time, Ross, 33. Ross' superb technique, powerful, dignified stage presence, and craggy good looks, also garnered him lead parts in many of Graham's new choreographic works. Among these were Adam in "Embattled Garden", St. Michael in "Seraphic Dialogue", Agamemnon and Orestes in "Clytemnestra" and Brother Sun in "Canticle For Innocent Comedians". In total, Ross originated 35 roles in the repertory.

paragraph: Critics described some of his characters in Graham's psychosexual dramas as "colorful and even lurid." The dancer himself is quoted as saying, "Every night and twice on matinee days I was beaten, beheaded, blinded and castrated - and it was wonderful! I never missed a performance."

paragraph: A few of the performances are documented:

paragraph: "Appalachian Spring" (1958) - Graham's "Appalachian Spring" was filmed for television and presented by WQED Pittsburgh. The cast includes Graham as The Bride, Ross as The Revivalist, Stuart Hodes as The Husbandman, Matt Turney as the Pioneer Woman, and Yuriko, Helen McGehee, Ethel Winter, Miriam Cole as The Revivalist's Flock. The piece features an original score by Aaron Copland.

paragraph: "A Dancer's World" (1957 TV movie documentary) - Another documentary filmed and initially aired by WQED. Designed as an introduction to Graham's work and narrated by the choreographer, the film shows the company in the studio demonstrating various aspects of her creative approach and technique.

paragraph: "Martha Graham: An American Original in Performance" (1957 documentary) - The 90-minute film includes three historic performances, "A Dancer's World", "Appalachian Spring" and "Night Journey", the legend of Oedipus with Ross in the starring role.

paragraph: "Night Journey" (1960 documentary short) - The black and white film by Austrian director Alexander Hammid was released as part of a monograph, "Films on Ballet and Modern Dance: Notes and a Directory", published by the American Dance Guild.

paragraph: "Martha Graham: The Dancer Revealed", "American Masters" (1994 TV Series documentary) - The documentary chronicles Graham's life and work. Ross and former company members, among others, provide commentary.

paragraph: In 1966, when Martha Graham fell ill, Ross was named co-director of the company, first with Robert Cohan, then with Mary Hinkson, both veteran Graham dancers. Ross and Hinkson kept both the troupe and school operating during Graham's absence. Both resigned when she returned with a new director, non-dancer Ronald Protas. Ross left the company in 1973, reportedly due to artistic differences with Protas.

paragraph: Section::::After Graham.

paragraph: After leaving the Martha Graham Dance Company, Ross performed as a guest artist with other dance companies, taught Graham technique and choreographed. Ross held classes at Juilliard, New York University and the Mary Anthony Studio. During the 1970s and 1980s, he toured with his own troupe, Bertram Ross Dance Company, for which he created dances such as "Totem" and "Vanya: Three Pastels". Ross also staged solo dance-theater projects, including "Noah" and "Raymond Duncan", a portrait of Isadora Duncan's brother. After Graham’s death, he re-created several of her pieces for the Graham company.

paragraph: He also took on a few acting roles. In 1961, he appeared as the character Haman in an episode titled "Esther" on the "Lamp Unto My Feet" TV series. In 1962, he performed in one episode, "Splendour in the Rice", on the Canadian comedy series "The Wayne and Shuster Hour". In the Amy Greenfield film "Antigone/Rites of Passion", he performed the dual roles of Oedipus and Creon.

paragraph: In 1973, he made his debut as a singer, when he jokingly performed with Wallowitch at the 10th anniversary of The Ballroom. Ross sang a comic Irving Berlin number "Cohen Owes Me $97", which he intoned in the thick Yiddish accent for which Berlin had written it. Audience response was so overwhelming, the club's owner suggested the pair form a duo.

paragraph: In 1984, Ross and Wallowitch began performing the two-man cabaret act, which included lesser-known songs by Rodgers and Hart, Johnny Mercer and Harold Arlen, combined with Wallowitch's musical parodies. They launched the routine at The Ballroom, then took it on the road across the U.S. and to London, where they appeared at Pizza on the Park, the venerable (now-closed) jazz venue. Not long before Ross' death, November 2002, the pair appeared at Danny's Skylight Room in Manhattan.

paragraph: Filmmaker Richard Morris captured the couple's 30+ year personal and professional union for the 1999 film "Wallowitch and Ross: This Moment". A CD of their cabaret act "Wallowitch and Ross" (Miranda Music) was released in 2003 to accompany the film. In 2016, "Wallowitch & Ross: This Moment" was entered into the American Academy of Motion Picture Arts and Sciences film archive for permanent preservation.

paragraph: Section::::Personal life.

paragraph: Ross made no secret of his homosexuality. He met Wallowitch through mutual friends in the arts community; both were already familiar with each other's work. They lived together for more than 35 years. Ross died from pneumonia on April 20, 2003. He had also suffered from Parkinson's Disease in later years. Ross is buried beside Wallowitch, who died in 2007, at Kensico Cemetery in Valhalla, New York.
