paragraph: Donald Sinclair (hotel owner)

paragraph: Donald William Sinclair (10 July 1909 – 1981) was the co–proprietor of the Gleneagles Hotel in Torquay, England. He helped manage the hotel after an extensive career as an officer in the Merchant Navy and the Royal Navy. During World War II, he twice survived the sinking of the ship he was serving on.

paragraph: Sinclair is primarily known for being the inspiration for the character Basil Fawlty, played by John Cleese, in the television sitcom "Fawlty Towers" that Cleese co-wrote. This was owing to his allegedly stuffy, snobbish and eccentric treatment of his guests, including Cleese and other members of the Monty Python cast. Cleese later played a character named Donald Sinclair in the 2001 film "Rat Race".

paragraph: Section::::Wartime career.

paragraph: Prior to World War II, Sinclair was in the British Merchant Navy. As an officer in the Royal Naval Reserve, he was called up in September 1939 for military service.

paragraph: Soon after his call up, he joined the crew of the armed merchant cruiser (AMC) . "Salopian" was a pre-war cargo liner that had been armed and converted into a warship as an emergency wartime measure.

paragraph: In May 1941 she was escorting a convoy in the North Atlantic. Early on the morning of the 13th, 400 miles south of Cape Farewell, Greenland, she was attacked by the U-boat "U-98" in heavy fog. During successive attacks in the following six hours, "Salopian" was hit four times by torpedoes. Her engines were knocked out but she remained afloat and engaged the surfaced "U-98" with gunfire. "Salopian" finally sank after a fifth torpedo broke her in half. All but three of the crew survived and were picked up the next day by the destroyers and .

paragraph: In July 1941, Sinclair joined the crew of the infantry landing ship HMS "Karanja". In May 1942, "Karanja" took part in Operation Ironclad, the British invasion of Vichy French-controlled Madagascar. In November 1942, she took part in Operation Torch, the Allied invasion of French North Africa. On the morning of 12 November, at Bougie, Algeria, "Karanja" was hit in the engine room by at least two bombs from a German Junkers 88 bomber and set on fire, before subsequently sinking.

paragraph: From February 1943 until July 1945, Sinclair served on the escort carrier HMS "Trumpeter". "Trumpeter" served in European waters, her duties included escorting convoys to the Soviet Union. With the end of the war in Europe, the ship was reassigned to the Far East and arrived Colombo in July 1945. "Trumpeter" was one of the ships assigned to take part in Operation Zipper, the recapture of Malaya, but the ending of the war meant only small part the planned attack was carried out.

paragraph: Sinclair left the navy in April 1946 with the rank of Lieutenant commander.

paragraph: Section::::Hotel career and later life.

paragraph: Sinclair married Beatrice Ritchie (1915–2010) in Glasgow during the war. She was a policeman's daughter from Ellon, Aberdeenshire, who worked as a fashion consultant and designer at a Glasgow department store. She moved to Torquay to live with an aunt and avoid the German bombing of Glasgow. After the war ended, while her husband was still serving at sea, she opened a hotel in Torquay called Greenacres. The business was a success and in 1964, she bought a private house that she transformed into a second hotel. She named this Gleneagles after her favourite part of her native Scotland. By this time, her husband was assisting her in running the business. He made this decision reluctantly and would have preferred to remain at sea.

paragraph: Sinclair died in Torquay, Devon in 1981 aged 72, from a heart attack and stroke "when some workmen he'd upset painted his patio furniture and car gunmetal grey during the night." His wife died 29 years later in September 2010; they are survived by their two daughters.

paragraph: Section::::"Fawlty Towers".

paragraph: The Monty Python cast met the Sinclairs while staying at the Gleneagles Hotel in May 1970; they were filming in nearby Paignton. Sinclair was reluctant to let them stay, but his wife argued in favour of them, as their three-week stay in the hotel represented a considerable amount of business during the hotel's off-season. Due to Sinclair's attitude towards them, which included criticising American Terry Gilliam's table etiquette and throwing Eric Idle's briefcase out of a window because he thought it contained a bomb, all of the Monty Python cast left the hotel for other accommodation, apart from Idle, John Cleese and his then-wife Connie Booth. Cleese later used his mannerisms as an inspiration for Basil Fawlty in "Fawlty Towers". Several of the show's plot lines are alleged to be partly based on real-life events; the Gleneagles Hotel is briefly referenced in the show's second episode, "The Builders".

paragraph: Cleese later played eccentric hotel owners in the 1999 remake film "The Out-of-Towners" and the 2001 film "Rat Race"; in this latter piece, his character was actually named Donald Sinclair.

paragraph: Section::::"Fawlty Towers".:Accuracy.

paragraph: Opinions are divided on how closely Sinclair resembled Fawlty. Former staff and visitors have remembered actual events there that were allegedly as ludicrous as those depicted in the series. However, Sinclair's family is adamant that Fawlty was an inaccurate caricature. Beatrice Sinclair later described her husband as a "gentleman and a very brave man" and not "the neurotic eccentric that John Cleese made him out to be." An accuracy she did acknowledge is that she was very much in charge of the business, just as Basil Fawlty was usually subordinate to his wife Sybil. The publication of Sir Michael Palin's in 2006 supported Cleese's assessment of the Sinclairs. Rosemary Harrison, a waitress at the Gleneagles under Sinclair, stated,

paragraph: Philip I of Piedmont

paragraph: Philip I, known as Philip of Savoy (, ) (1278 – September 25, 1334) was the lord of Piedmont from 1282 until his death and prince of Achaea between 1301 and 1307. He was the son of Thomas III of Piedmont and Guyonne de Châlon.

paragraph: Philip's first marriage was celebrated in Rome on February 12, 1301 to Isabella of Villehardouin, Princess of Achaea. By that marriage, he became Prince of Achaea, though he had already been lord of Piedmont by inheritance from his father in 1282. He was, however, an authoritative prince and this put him at odds with the baronage of his realm. He tried to placate the barons of Morea, but was forced to accept a parliament in 1304. The Greek archonts from Skorta revolted in 1302. In 1307, King Charles II of Naples, the suzerain of Achaea, confiscated the principality and gave it to his son, Prince Philip I of Taranto.

paragraph: Johannes Lingelbach

paragraph: Johannes (or Johann) Lingelbach (1622–1674) was a Dutch Golden Age painter, associated with the second generation of Bambocciate, a group of genre painters working in Rome from 1625–1700.

paragraph: Section::::Biography.

paragraph: Lingelbach was born in Frankfurt, the son of David Lingelbach, a German technician, who in 1634 settled in Amsterdam with his wife and children. In 1638 the father hired and later established a labyrinth in the Jordaan. He furnished it with machines, that could move or play music and depicting biblical or mythological scenes. In the late 40s Johannes Lingelbach travelled to France (?) and Italy. After returning to Amsterdam, around 1653, Johannes married. Around 1662 Lingelbach lived in Reestraat, a small street near Prinsengracht; he became a close friend of Jurriaen Ovens.

paragraph: His work began to show an influence from Philips Wouwermans' landscapes. His skill in painting genre figures is no less accomplished in his depictions of architectural and natural objects. He was often invited to paint the figures and animals within other artists landscape pieces, such as the Dutch master landscape painter, Meindert Hobbema and Jan van der Heyden. His study of architectural forms came from observing the paintings of another Bamboccianti, Viviano Codazzi, an Architectural Vedutisti, or view painter.

paragraph: Lingelbach followed the style of the original Bamboccianti, Pieter van Laer, called "Il Bamboccio", bringing his own Italianate style into influence of Northern European painters. He is one of the few Dutch painters of the Bamboccianti, whose works are documented in depth, making his influence greater in the progression of the style. Some of his works in Rome were once attributed to Pieter van Laer, but are now rightfully claimed to be Lingelbach’s, such as his, "Roman Street Scene with Card Players", (National Gallery). These works show the Italian influence of Caravaggio in their realism and refined chiaroscuro effect, also seen in works such as Lingelbach's, "Figures before a Locanda, with a View of the Piazza del Popolo, Rome", (Royal Collection). Lingelbach died in Amsterdam.

paragraph: Lingelbach’s forms were accomplished in there effects of light and spatial accuracy, but much freer than that of Codazzi.

paragraph: Simbar-shipak

paragraph: Simbar-Šipak, or perhaps "Simbar-Šiḫu", typically inscribed "sim-bar-""ši-i-" or "si-im-bar-ši-" in cuneiform, where the reading of the last symbol is uncertain, “offspring of (the Kassite moon god) Šipak”, ca.1025-1008 BC, founded the 2nd Dynasty of the Sealand, Babylon’s 5th Dynasty and conducted a program of restoration of a number of temples that had been destroyed earlier by the marauding Arameans and the Sutû. His identification with the Sibir ("Si-bir") named by Ashurnasirpal II in his "annals" as having earlier captured and laid waste Atlila (probably modern Bakr Awa), a city on Assyria’s eastern flank, remains unresolved.

paragraph: Section::::Biography.

paragraph: Simbar-Šipak lived during turbulent times, where crop failures and almost constant conflicts with semi-nomadic migrants caused the Babylonian government of the preceding 2nd Dynasty of Isin to fall. As a soldier from the southern region of Mesopotamia, he emerged to stabilize the situation. He reigned for 18 years according to the "King List A", 17 years according to the "Dynastic Chronicle" which names him "Simbar-Šiḫu", “knight of the Sealand,” son of Eriba-Sin, an individual otherwise unknown, and soldier of the dynasty of Damiq-ilišu, a possible reference to the ultimate king of the first dynasty of Isin, whom the founder of the first Sealand dynasty, Ilum-ma-ilī, had claimed filiation, or alternatively to Damqi-ilishu of the Sealand dynasty. Despite the apparent Kassite character of his name, there is no other evidence of this tribal affiliation. Although there are no traces of his name remaining on the Assyrian "Synchronistic King List", the king would have appeared, somewhat implausibly, in the section belonging opposite Erība-Adad II.

paragraph: Only four contemporary written documents from his reign are known. One comprises two late copies of a royal inscription, known as “Enlil’s throne” or the “Royal inscription of Simbar-Šipak”, another a legal deed drawn up in the king's twelfth year, a third an inscribed dagger in the Archaeological Museum of Tabriz, Iran, apparently found in a river in the eastern Azerbaijan province, and the fourth an arrowhead inscribed "(Property) of Simbar-Šiḫu, son of Eriba-Sin," thus confirming the name of his father given in two late chronicles. The deed details the sale of land in compensation for ransom paid by an intermediary and redemption of the former landowner’s three sons, and the inscription on the bottom edge (pictured) reads:

paragraph: It would be tempting to identify the first witness with his nemesis and successor, Ea-mukin-zēri but this would be speculative.

paragraph: Section::::Biography.:Royal Inscription of Simbar-Šipak.

paragraph: This is extant on two copies of an inscription of the king recording the rededication of the throne of the god Enlil in the E-kur-igigal temple at Nippur following the judicious return of the “goods and property of Ellil” by an Assyrian (king) who had recovered them from the Arameans, the original thieves. It states that it is Marduk that sits at the throne where Enlil and Marduk are apparently treated as the same god. The "Eclectic Chronicle" describes the same event. The inscription goes on to describe the travails inflicted by the Arameans and Sutû, harking back to the reign of Adad-apla-iddina:

paragraph: In his dedication to Enlil, he describes himself as, “he who puts in order the paths of Anum and Dagan, he who preserves their rites.”

paragraph: Section::::Biography.:Other sources.

paragraph: The "Sun God Tablet" of Nabu-apla-iddina relates that “during the troubles and disorders in Akkad”, the Sutû, the “evil foe”, had overthrown the cult idol of Šamaš in Sippar. Simbar-Šipak, had sought to recover it but had been unsuccessful due to lack of divine support – so he suspended a sun disc (“nipḫu”) as a substitute idol, established regular offerings, and installed Ekur-šum-ušabši, the seer and priest of Sippar, at the temple.

paragraph: The "Religious Chronicle" is thought to record events of his reign, based on the order of preceding kings, and provides some fairly obscure portents such as “a wolf was lurking in the west,” “a badger in the Uraš gate at the door of the "šatammu's" (temple administrator’s) residence,” “two deer entered Babylon,” and most ominously “on the twenty-sixth of the month Simanu, in the seventh year, day turned to night and there was a fire in the sky,” an eclipse, speculated to have taken place on 9 May 1012 B.C. Things seemed to have taken a turn for the worse from the thirteenth year onward as the chariot of Bel did not come out for three successive years and the eighteenth year was marked by a wave of water coming down from the Ištar gate, entering Babylon, two soldiers were killed and an idol was knocked off its pedestal. This was the year his reign came to a dramatic end when he was assassinated, quite possibly by his successor, Ea-mukin-zēri, “by the sword,” plunging the country once again into chaos. He “was buried in the palace of Sargon.”

paragraph: Johnny Sheffield

paragraph: Johnny Sheffield (April 11, 1931 – October 15, 2010) was an American child actor who, between 1939 and 1947, played Boy in the Tarzan film series and, between 1949 and 1955, played Bomba the Jungle Boy.

paragraph: Section::::Early life.

paragraph: Sheffield was born John Matthew Sheffield Cassan in Pasadena, California, the second child of actor Reginald Sheffield and Louise Van Loon (January 21, 1905 – April 14, 1987). His older sister was Mary Alice Sheffield Cassan and his younger brother was William Hart Sheffield Cassan (actor Billy Sheffield). His father was himself a former juvenile performer when he came to the United States from his native England. His mother, a native of New York City, was a Vassar College graduate with a liberal arts education who loved books and lectured widely.

paragraph: In 1938, Sheffield became a child star after he was cast in the juvenile lead of a West Coast production of the highly successful Broadway play "On Borrowed Time", which starred Dudley Digges and featured Victor Moore as Gramps. Sheffield played the role of Pud, a long role for a child. He later went to New York as a replacement and performed the role on Broadway.

paragraph: Section::::"Tarzan" and other films.

paragraph: The following year, his father read an article in "The Hollywood Reporter" that asked, "Have you a Tarzan Jr. in your backyard?" He believed he did and set up an interview. MGM was searching for a suitable youngster to play the adopted son of Tarzan in its next jungle movie with stars Johnny Weissmuller and Maureen O'Sullivan. When he was 5 years old, Sheffield was taken to an audition where Weissmuller chose him over more than 300 juvenile actors interviewed for the part of "Boy" in "Tarzan Finds a Son" (1939). In that same year, Sheffield appeared in the Busby Berkeley movie musical "Babes in Arms" with Mickey Rooney and Judy Garland, classmates of his at the studio school.

paragraph: He appeared with many other performers over the years, including Jeanette MacDonald, Pat O'Brien, Cesar Romero, Ronald Reagan and Beverly Garland. He played the childhood version of the title character in "Knute Rockne, All American", perhaps the most prestigious film in which he had a role.

paragraph: Sheffield played Boy in three Tarzan movies at MGM, and in another five after the star, Weissmuller, and production of the movie series moved to RKO. Brenda Joyce played Jane in the last three Tarzan movies in which Sheffield appeared.

paragraph: Section::::Bomba and Bantu.

paragraph: After he outgrew the role of Boy, the teenaged Sheffield went on to star in his own jungle movie series for Allied Artists. In 1949, he made "Bomba, the Jungle Boy" with co-star Peggy Ann Garner. In all, he appeared as Bomba 12 times, more than any other character he portrayed. Sheffield appeared in his last movie, as Bomba, in 1955.

paragraph: He then made a pilot for a television series, "Bantu the Zebra Boy", which was created, produced and directed by his father, Reginald Sheffield. Although the production values were high compared to other TV jungle shows of the day, a sponsor was not found and the show was never produced as a weekly series.

paragraph: Section::::Post Hollywood careers.

paragraph: Sheffield decided to leave the industry and enrolled in college to further his education. He lived and worked for a time in Arizona. John and Patricia Sheffield were married in 1959 in Yuma, Arizona. They had three children: Patrick, Stewart and Regina.

paragraph: After leaving show business, Sheffield completed a business degree at UCLA. Turning his attention to other fields, he involved himself variously in farming, real estate and construction. For a time, he was a representative for the Santa Monica Seafood Company importing lobsters from Baja California in Mexico.

paragraph: In his later years Johnny Sheffield lived in Southern California where he wrote articles about his Hollywood years and sold copies of the TV pilot "Bantu, the Zebra Boy" on video.

paragraph: Section::::Death.

paragraph: Sheffield's wife, Patty, said that he fell from a ladder while pruning a palm tree. Though his injuries seemed minor, he died of a heart attack four hours later on October 15, 2010, in Chula Vista, California, aged 79.

paragraph: Paulsen's works bear the influence of Realism, Symbolism and Impressionism but he was also inspired by Dutch 17th century art as can be seen in his painting "Portrætgruppe" (Portrait Group) from 1902 in Skagens Museum. Paulsen also associated with several of the Skagen Painters who gathered each summer in the north of Jutland but did not visit Skagen itself until after 1900. He painted several portraits of Laurits Tuxen and his family as well as a number of landscapes. His portrait of P.S. Krøyer hangs in the Museum of National History in Frederiksborg Palace.

paragraph: From 1908 to 1920, Paulsen was a professor at the Royal Danish Academy.

paragraph: Fulk I FitzWarin

paragraph: Fulk I FitzWarin ( born 1115, died 1170/1) ("alias" Fulke, Fouke, FitzWaryn, FitzWarren, Fitz Warine, etc., Latinised to "Fulco Filius Warini", "Fulk son of Warin") was a powerful marcher lord seated at Whittington Castle in Shropshire in England on the border with Wales, and also at Alveston in Gloucestershire. His grandson was Fulk III FitzWarin (c. 1160–1258) the subject of the famous mediaeval legend or "ancestral romance" entitled "Fouke le Fitz Waryn", himself the grandfather of Fulk V FitzWarin, 1st Baron FitzWarin (1251-1315).

paragraph: Section::::Origins.

paragraph: Fulk I Fitzwarin was the son of Warin (his patronymic representing the Norman French "Fitz", in modern French "fils de", 'son of'). The later mediaeval romance "Fouke le Fitz Waryn" gives the father's name as Warin de Metz, deriving him from Loraine. This Warin of Metz, the family's earliest known ancestor, is a "shadowy or mythical figure" about whom little is certain. It is however generally believed that the head of the Warin family came to England during the reign of William the Conqueror (1066-1087). Neither Warin nor his son Fulk I were tenants-in-chief (feudal barons who were direct vassals of the king) during William's reign. Instead, the family's lands were obtained from later kings.

paragraph: Section::::Career.

paragraph: Fulk I FitzWarin was rewarded by King Henry II (1154-1189) for his support of his mother Empress Matilda in her civil war with King Stephen (1135-1154) and conferred to him in 1153 the royal manor of Alveston in Gloucestershire and in 1149 the manor of Whadborough in Leicestershire.

paragraph: Section::::Marriage & progeny.

paragraph: Fulk I married a lady, Malet Peveral, daughter of Pagan Peveral and produced by her progeny including the following:

paragraph: BULLET::::- Fulk II FitzWarin (fl. 1194), son and heir who held his father's lands following his death in 1170/1.

paragraph: BULLET::::- William "de Brightley", younger son, who according to Sir William Pole (d.1635) was granted by his father "in King Henry 2 tyme" (i.e. between 1154 and 1189) the Devonshire manor of Brightley in the parish of Chittlehampton, which he made his seat and where his descendants lived for many generations having adopted "de Brightley" as their surname in lieu of "FitzWarin".

paragraph: Joachim Deschler

paragraph: Joachim Deschler (sometimes Joachim Teschler or, incorrectly, Johann Teschler; c.1500 - after 1 October 1571, Vienna) was a German sculptor and medalist.

paragraph: Section::::Life and work.

paragraph: Little is known about his life. The St. Lorenz Church Book states that he married his first wife in 1532 and his second wife (the widow of painter Nikolaus Glockendon) in 1537. That same year, he was granted full rights as a citizen of Nuremberg. There are no further details for the period 1533 to 1547, except that he studied in Italy for two years; mostly, it is thought, in Venice and Rome, returning with many drawings and sketches. Also, his first contacts with the Archduke Maximilian (later, Maximilian II), date from 1543. He was still a resident of Nuremberg in 1554, when his daughter by his first wife was married, but moved to Vienna sometime in the late 50s. It was there, in 1564, that he became Maximilian's Imperial Court Sculptor. The last record of his being paid a salary dates from 1 October 1571, so it is believed that he died later that year.

paragraph: Deschler's workshop produced small sculptures made from limestone and boxwood in the German Renaissance style. He also produced a great number of artistically executed medals, which may be identified by the letters "ID" inscribed on the arm of the person depicted. The Coat of Arms on their reverse sides indicate that they were modelled with limestone from the Solnhofen quarries. Most of his medals were cast at the mint in Kremnitz. Although Deschler's work shows Italian influence, its genre-like nature marks it as distinctively German. After , he is considered one of the greatest German medalists.

paragraph: Raimundo Ongaro

paragraph: Raimundo José Ongaro (13 February 1924̣ – 1 August 2016) was an Argentine union leader. He was secretary general of the General Confederation of Labour of the Argentines (CGTA) between 1968 and 1974.

paragraph: Section::::Early career and rise to prominence.

paragraph: Ongaro was born to a middle-class family of Italian Argentines from the Friuli-Venezia Giulia region, in the Argentine seashore city of Mar del Plata in 1924. Fluent in Latin and schooled in music composition, Ongaro became an apprenticed graphist and was eventually hired at COGTAL, one of Argentina's largest publishing cooperatives. Becoming active in the Buenos Aires Printworkers' Federation (FGB), the 1966 coup d'état against President Arturo Illia and its resulting advent of anti-labor policies led Ongaro to remove FGB leader Osvaldo Vigna in a coup of his own, that November. This move, however, met with the disapproval of José Alonso, the head of the CGT (among whose 62 unions the FGB belonged) and forced Ongaro to pursue alliances within the fractious CGT union (then South America's largest). Ongaro's only ally among the 62 unions was initially the sanitary workers' Amado Olmos, and the duo were no match for Alonso's conciliatory strategy with the repressive new regime of General Juan Carlos Onganía. This stance, shared with powerful CGT leaders such as the steelworkers' Augusto Vandor and the construction workers' Rogelio Coria, was shaken by Security Committee head General Osiris Villegas' violent March 1967 assault on CGT headquarters done to impede a planned general strike.

paragraph: Belonging to a CGT disoriented by the regime's surprise attack, Ongaro traveled to Cuba in early 1968, where, during a political conference, he met Argentine journalist and writer Rodolfo Walsh, with whom Ongaro flew to Madrid to introduce to the CGT's benefactor, exiled populist leader Juan Perón. Perón was impressed with both men and subscribed to Ongaro's view that the CGT leadership's efforts at dialogue with the dictatorship would be in vain. President Onganía had already ordered eight of the 62 CGT unions into government receivership (including the second-largest, the railway workers') and CGT elections in March 1968 pitted the steelworker's Vandor against Perón's own choice, Raimundo Ongaro. Vandor's steelworkers' union was the largest in the CGT and he still had allies such as Alonso and Coría; but Ongaro's allies now included the rail workers' Lorenzo Pepe and the telecom workers' Julio Guillán, both of whose unions were in receivership. Where Ongaro had Perón's own support, Vandor could only boast the endorsement of Onganía's new Labor Minister, Rubens San Sebastián, the architect of the President's "divide and conquer" strategy towards the CGT.

paragraph: Section::::The CGTA.

paragraph: Ongaro was elected Secretary General of the CGT on March 30, 1968, without a concession from the defeated Vandor and the Labor Minister annulled the election, impeding Ongaro's taking office. Writer Rodolfo Walsh and numerous adherents of the activist Third World Priests' Movement joined Ongaro, Pepe and their CGT supporters in creating the "Argentine CGT" (CGTA), a coalition announced during a rally on May 1, the international labor day.

paragraph: Drawing from his publishing background, Ongaro had the CGTA draft a weekly newsletter which, under Ricardo de Luca's direction and with regular contributions from Walsh, Rogelio García Lupo and Horacio Verbitsky, became renowned for its treatment of local as well as international issues (the first issue featured coverage of the aftermath of the assassination of civil rights leader Martin Luther King, Jr.). The CGTA was also the subject of banned documentaries by filmmaker Fernando "Pino" Solanas and others in the vanguard "Grupo Cine Liberación". Numerous leaders from within Alonso's official CGT also extended their support, notably Córdoba Province light and power workers' leader Agustín Tosco, who earned the enmity of his union's national leader Juan José Taccone, by joining the CGTA. The CGTA was the target of intense harassment by the dictatorship, who over the next year had around 5,000 of its members detained nationwide. Tosco's support of a local autoworkers' strike at the important Córdoba FIAT plant in May 1969 was decisive in the demonstrations' brutal May 29 repression, whose subsequent riots became known as the "Cordobazo".

paragraph: The "Cordobazo" encouraged a hard line in the regime's labor relations policy. Having detained Tosco and numerous others, the mysterious June 30 assassination of Augusto Vandor provided a pretext for Ongaro's arrest and the banning of the CGTA. These struggles brought him to the attention of the International Labour Organization, which elected him a member of their administrative council later that year. Tosco's and Ongaro's repeated stays in prison and continued pressure led to the CGTA's inactivity and, on Ongaro's release in January 1972, he disbanded the defunct trade union and founded the independent Argentine Printworkers' Sindicate (SGA). Increasingly focused on influencing Juan Perón, whose return from exile was imminent, he established "Basic Peronism," a leftist political advocacy group.

paragraph: Section::::Terror and exile.

paragraph: Political pressure led the dictatorship to call for free and fair national elections in March 1973, which Perón's Justicialist Party won in a landslide; one Basic Peronism supporter, journalist Rodolfo Ortega Peña, was among those elected to Congress on Perón's FREJULI party list. Ongaro's independent union and leftist stance, however, made him a target to the CGT and to a far-right adviser close to Perón himself, José López Rega. Congressman Ortega Peña was assassinated by López Rega's death squad, the Argentine Anti-Communist Alliance (Triple A), on July 31, 1974, and the Ongaro family's home in the Buenos Aires suburb of Los Polvorines was frequently raided with impunity, leading to Mrs. Ongaro's miscarriage on one occasion.

paragraph: Undeterred, Ongaro organized a September 16 meeting in Bella Vista, Tucumán, to support a sugarmill workers' strike led by Atilio Santillán. Reunited with other former CGTA allies including Agustín Tosco and steelworkers Francisco "Barba" Gutiérrez and Alberto Piccinini, Ongaro organized a conflict resolution committee geared for the defense of targeted unions. Piccinini's November election as shop steward at steelmaker ACINDAR's Villa Constitución plant eventually led to the March 1975 mass arrests of those at the plant as well as those of Ongaro and others at the committee.

paragraph: Allowed a radio, he learned of the May 7 murder of his teenage son, Alfredo Máximo Ongaro, at the hands of the Triple A, and, upon his August 29 release, he was deported to Lima, Peru; Mrs. Ongaro and her remaining children had left days earlier, and only the warden's precautions prevented Ongaro's abduction and murder by the Triple A. The overthrow of Peru's populist dictator, Juan Velasco Alvarado, the following day led to an increasingly hostile climate for left-wing Argentine exiles in general, and Ongaro departed for Spain in June 1976.

paragraph: Supported by Spanish sympathizers, European radio and TV interviews and remittances from the FGB itself, the Ongaros returned in March 1984, three months after Argentina's return to democracy.

paragraph: Section::::Ongaro's return to the FGB.

paragraph: Ongaro was reelected Secretary General of the FGB, which, despite its recent ordeal, still counted with around 25,000 members and remained Argentina's largest print workers' union. Welcomed into the CGT by Secretary General Saúl Ubaldini (a colleague of Ongaro's at the ILO), the FGB became less prominent as one of the smallest of the CGT's 62 unions. Ongaro, who earned renown for his uncompromising stance against anti-labor policies two decades earlier, concurred with the CGT's grudging support of the anti-labor President Carlos Menem (a Justicialist candidate elected with the CGT's support in 1989). Adverse to conflict, Ongaro refused to condemn Menem's October 1989 pardon of those who led Argentina's last dictatorship during its infamous 1976-79 campaign of human rights abuses.

paragraph: Ongaro also kept a low profile during the advent of free market policies that ushered in an unprecedented era of corporate takeovers and mergers in Argentina during the 1990s. One such takeover, that of Editorial Atlántida (Argentina's leading magazine publisher) by Editorial Perfil in 1998, led to differences between affected employees and Ongaro, himself, who did not oppose the merger. The event led to strain between Ongaro and the FGB rank-and-file, though he has since been reelected as their Secretary General. The FGB's relatively conciliatory stance in collective bargaining negotiations fostered the emergence in 2011 of a rival faction, the Eduardo Ayala Classist Graphics Group.

paragraph: Having led Argentina's largest print workers' unions, the FGB, since 1966, Ongaro became the dean of Argentine labor leaders.

paragraph: Dodda Krishnaraja I

paragraph: Krishnaraja Wodeyar I (Dodda Krishnaraja Wodeyar; 18 March 1702 – 5 March 1732) was the sixteenth maharaja of the Kingdom of Mysore. His reign lasted for 18 years, from 1714 to 1732.

paragraph: Section::::Personal life.

paragraph: Dodda Krishnaraja was born on 18 March 1702. He was the first-born son of Kanthirava Narasaraja II, by his second wife Maharani Chelvaja Ammani Devi. A month before his tenth birthday—upon his father's death—he acceded to the throne of Mysore. Although he was married nine times, direct descents in the Wodeyar lineage stopped with him; a son was born to his first wife, but died aged six months. Dodda Krishnaraja died on 5 March 1732 at the age of 29, and was succeeded by his relative's son, Chamaraja Wodeyar VII.

paragraph: Section::::Demands of neighbours.

paragraph: Just before Dodda Krishnaraja I's accession, a change had come in the governance of the Mughal province of Sira ("Carnatic Bijapur") to the north and northeast of Mysore. In 1713, "Carnatic-Bijapur" was split into a "payanghat" jurisdiction with capital at Arcot and governed by a newly styled Nawab of Arcot, and a "balaghat" jurisdiction, governed by a newly styled Nawab of Sira. That same year, the governor of "Carnatic-Bijapur", Sadat-ulla Khan, was made the new Nawab of Arcot, and Amin Khan was appointed Nawab of Sira; Mysore, however, remained a formal tributary state of Sira. This division, and the resulting loss of revenue from the rich "maidān" region of Mysore, made Sadat-ulla Khan unhappy and, in collusion with the rulers of Kadapa, Kurnool, Savanur, and the Maratha Raja of Gutti, he decided to march against Krishnaraja Wodeyar I. However, the Nawab of Sira, anxious to preempt the coalition's action, hit upon a plan himself of reaching the then-Mysore capital, Seringapatam. In the end, both Nawabs—of Arcot and Sira—settled upon a joint invasion led by the former. Krishnaraja Wodeyar I, for his part, was able to "buy off this formidable confederacy" by offering a tribute of Rs. 10 million. This outcome, however, made Mysore vulnerable to similar future claims, which, for example, were made successfully two years later by Maratha raiders who appeared in the Mysore capital. The resulting depletion of the Mysore treasury led Mysore to itself attack and absorb the poligar chiefdom of Magadi to its north.

paragraph: Section::::Abdication of power.

paragraph: gave a decidedly negative appraisal of the maharaja's character:"Whatever portion of vigour or of wisdom appeared in the conduct of this reign belonged exclusively to the ministers, who secured their own authority by appearing with affected humility to study in all things the inclinations and wishes of the Maharaja. Weak and capricious in his temper, he committed the most cruel excesses on the persons and property of those who approached him, and as quickly restored them to his favour. While no opposition was made to an establishment of almost incredible absurdity, amounting to a lakh of rupees annually, for the maintenance of an almshouse to feed beasts of prey, reptiles, and insects; he believed himself to be an unlimited despot; and, while amply supplied with the means of sensual pleasure, to which he devoted the largest portion of his time, he thought himself the greatest and the happiest of monarchs, without understanding, or caring to understand, during a reign of nineteen years, the troublesome details through which he was supplied with all that is necessary for animal gratification."

paragraph: According to , the Maharaja's lack of interest in the affairs of state, soon led two "dalvoys," or ministers, Devaraja, the army chief, and his cousin, Nanjaraja, who was both the revenue minister and the privy councillor, to wield all authority in the kingdom. After Krishnaraja Wodeyar I's death in 1736, the "dalvoys" would appoint "puppet maharajas," and effectively rule Mysore until the rise of Haidar Ali in 1760.

paragraph: Robert Maxwell (golfer)

paragraph: Robert Maxwell (12 May 1876 – 25 July 1949) was a Scottish amateur golfer who played during the late 19th century and early 20th century. Maxwell had four top-10 finishes in The Open Championship. His best performance came in the 1902 Open Championship when he placed fourth. Maxwell won The Amateur Championship twice, in 1903 and 1909, both events having been played at Muirfield.

paragraph: Section::::Early life.

paragraph: Maxwell was born in Edinburgh, Scotland, on 12 May 1876. He was the son of Francis Maxwell and Adelaide Maxwell (née Hay). At age four, he was living in North Berwick, Scotland with his parents, two brothers, and a sister. He received his education at Eton College and was an energetic boy. While at Eton, he acquired a "short and concise" manner of speaking.

paragraph: As a youth, he was adroit at football and rowing. By age seven, Maxwell had already honed his golf game and, thanks to golf lessons he had received from Ben Sayers, the precocious young lad carded a 74 in two rounds on the Ladies' Course at North Berwick. As a young man, he had powerful arms and wrists, a quick swing, and was a long hitter of the golf ball.

paragraph: In 1909, Walter Travis, editor of "The American Golfer" magazine, described Maxwell as "... a big, tall, powerful man with massive proportions and a fine pair of legs under him. His style is rather forceful, and perhaps, as some would say, a trifle clumsy. He hits hard, but unlike many other hard hitters he is most wonderfully accurate. He employs an open stance ... and uses the Vardon grip with his right thumb down the shaft. With his irons he is wonderfully accurate ... and he uses an iron putter—and his style does not look as if it would make for delicacy, but he has an extraordinarily fine touch, and as a matter of fact he was about the best putter there was at Muirfield, hardly ever missing a short one."

paragraph: Section::::Golf career.

paragraph: Maxwell, the upstart youngster, first entered the Amateur Championship when he was only 21 years old. He made news in the 1897 tournament at Muirfield by beating John Ball, the 4-time (and later 8-time) Amateur champion, and also knocked off Harold Hilton.

paragraph: In his match against Ball, Maxwell stymied the great champion on three of the first eight holes, and eventually finished him off by the score of 6 & 4. Maxwell finally fell victim himself when James Robb beat him 1 up in the fifth round.

paragraph: Known as "Bobbie" by his fans and those who knew him, Maxwell was skilled enough at golf by 1900 to begin winning tournaments. He notched three wins in the North Berwick club championship from 1902–04. In 1903 he added the Amateur Championship to his list of tournament wins.

paragraph: In total, he entered the British Amateur thirteen times and played in The Open Championship seven times between 1900 and 1909. Maxwell had nine caps for Scotland when he represented his country against England in international matches. In several of those matches he was paired against John Ball, crushing him on three occasions–once by 12 & 10 and twice by 8 & 6 margins of victory. He won the Glennie Medal at St Andrews three consecutive years from 1901–03.

paragraph: Section::::Golf career.:1902 Open Championship.

paragraph: The 1902 Open Championship was held 4–5 June at Royal Liverpool Golf Club in Hoylake, England. Scottish professional Sandy Herd won the Championship, a stroke ahead of runners-up James Braid and Harry Vardon. Maxwell carded rounds of 79-77-79-74=309 and finished in fourth place, only two shots behind Herd. Maxwell was the only player in the tournament to score less than 80 in all four rounds.

paragraph: Ella Némethy

paragraph: Ella Némethy (5 April 1895 – 14 June 1961) was a Hungarian mezzo-soprano who had an active international career in operas and concerts from 1919 to 1948. Music historian Péter P. Várnai writes in "The New Grove Dictionary of Music and Musicians" that "she was the leading mezzo-soprano in the interwar years, especially in Wagnerian roles such as Brünnhilde, Isolde and Kundry. Her interpretations were characterized by vocal amplitude, rich colouring and grand declamation." She was the mother of author Baba Macnee, who would marry actor Patrick Macnee in 1988.

paragraph: Section::::Life and career.

paragraph: Born in Sátoraljaújhely, Némethy studied at the Franz Liszt Academy of Music in Budapest, and privately with Ettore Panizza in Milan. She made her professional opera debut in 1919 as Dalila in Camille Saint-Saëns's "Samson et Dalila" at the Hungarian State Opera House. She remained a resident artist at that opera house for three decades where she performed a highly varied repertoire; including performances of Amneris in "Aida", Brünnhilde in "Die Walküre", "Götterdämmerung", and "Siegfried", Eboli in "Don Carlos", Leonore in "Fidelio", Kundry in "Parsifal", Ortrud in "Lohengrin", Santuzza in "Cavalleria rusticana", and Venus in "Tannhäuser" among others.

paragraph: Némethy appeared as a guest artist with several major opera houses around the world, including the Berlin State Opera, the Teatro Colón, and leading opera houses in Italy, Spain, and the United States. A major triumph of her career was performances of Brünnhilde in Wagner's "Der Ring des Nibelungen" at La Scala in 1937 and 1938. She also sang Brünnhilde for her debut at the Liceu in 1932-1933. In May 1938 she performed the role of Judith in the Italian premiere of Béla Bartók's "Bluebeard's Castle" at the Maggio Musicale Fiorentino.

paragraph: Upon her retirement from the stage in 1948, Némethy was named a lifelong member of the Hungarian State Opera House. A 1936 recording of her Judith to Mihály Székely's Bluebeard was posthumously released on CD in 2015. Her performance of Ortrud in "Lohengrin" is also preserved on a 1948 recording with conductor Otto Klemperer.
