paragraph: Kate Spade

paragraph: Katherine Noel Valentine Brosnahan (December 24, 1962 – June 5, 2018), known professionally as Kate Spade and Kate Valentine, was an American fashion designer and businesswoman. She was the founder and former co-owner of the designer brand Kate Spade New York.

paragraph: After working in the accessories department at the fashion magazine "Mademoiselle", Brosnahan and her husband, Andy Spade, identified a market for quality stylish handbags, and founded Kate Spade New York in 1993. The handbags Spade designed and produced quickly found popularity, owing to their sophistication and affordability, and have been described as a symbol of New York City in the 1990s.

paragraph: The company then expanded into other product lines. In 1999, Spade sold a 56-percent stake in her business to Neiman Marcus Group, and in 2006 she sold the rest of her shares. In 2016, Spade and her partners launched a new fashion brand, Frances Valentine.

paragraph: On June 5, 2018, Spade was found dead in her apartment, her death being ruled a suicide.

paragraph: Section::::Early life.

paragraph: Spade was born Katherine Noel Brosnahan in Kansas City, Missouri, the daughter of June (Mullen) and Earl Francis Brosnahan, who owned a road-construction company. She was of mostly Irish descent. After graduating from St. Teresa's Academy, an all-girl Catholic high school, Spade attended the University of Kansas. She transferred to Arizona State University, where she joined the Kappa Kappa Gamma sorority and graduated with a journalism degree in 1985.

paragraph: Fashion, she recalled later, was a love but not an obsession. Her original goal was to become a television producer, and she cited the example of Holly Hunter's character in the 1987 film "Broadcast News" as an inspiration.

paragraph: Section::::Career.

paragraph: Section::::Career.:"Mademoiselle".

paragraph: In 1986, Spade worked in the accessories department at "Mademoiselle" magazine in Manhattan, where she was credited by her maiden name, Katy Brosnahan. While at "Mademoiselle", she started living with Andy Spade, a native of Scottsdale, Arizona. The two had worked side-by-side as salespeople in a men's clothing store, Carter's Men Shop, when Spade was living in Phoenix.

paragraph: She left "Mademoiselle" in 1991, with the title of Senior Fashion Editor/Head of Accessories. While working for "Mademoiselle", she had noticed that the market lacked stylish and sensible handbags and decided to create her own.

paragraph: Section::::Career.:Kate Spade New York.

paragraph: Kate and Andy Spade launched the New York-based design company "kate spade handbags" in January 1993. "I wanted a functional bag that was sophisticated and had some style," she would recall. She made six prototypes with Scotch Tape and paper and found a manufacturer in East New York willing to work with a startup to turn them into bags. To finance the company, Andy, who had worked as a copywriter, withdrew his 401(k) pension plan and sometimes paid employees with personal checks. The couple spent their shipping season living at friends' apartments since their own was filled with boxed handbags.

paragraph: Spade was undecided as to what name to give the company, because she and Andy had not yet married, and "Kate Brosnahan" sounded like an unmarketable name for a fashion label. She considered a number of names, but agreed when Andy suggested "Kate Spade" — a combination of her first name and his surname that he found euphonious. After an early show at the Javits Center at which the department-store chain Barneys ordered a few bags, Spade decided to put the bag's labels on the outside, a change that took her all night to alter but established the brand.

paragraph: The bags, priced in the US$150 to $450 range, quickly became popular, particularly in New York. Teenagers with disposable income appreciated the affordability of the lower-end bags. That was "a real shift" in fashion, said Fern Mallis, director of the Council of Fashion Designers of America (CFDA) during the 1990s. "Everybody had Kate Spade bags. You could afford them, and happily buy more than one."

paragraph: Young American women at the time also liked the sophisticated look. One woman recalled that the Kate Spade bags looked mature, without being too adult for a teenager as a Burberry bag would have been seen. "At the turn of the last century her bag came to encapsulate a decidedly Manhattan moment in time," a moment when Anna Wintour recalled that it was impossible to walk a block in the city without seeing one.

paragraph: The company sold mainly handbags at first, but soon extended to clothing, jewelry, shoes, stationery, eyewear, baby items, fragrances, tabletop, bedding, and gifts. In 1996, the Kate Spade brand opened its first boutique, a shop in Manhattan's trendy SoHo district, and moved its headquarters into a space in West 25th Street.

paragraph: In 2004, "Kate Spade at home" was launched as a home collection brand. It featured bedding, bath items, china, wallpaper, and various items for the home. Later in 2004, Spade also published three books on the subjects of etiquette, entertainment, and fashion—"Manners", "Occasions", and "Style". That same year, a Kate Spade store was opened in Aoyama, Tokyo in Japan.

paragraph: Neiman Marcus Group purchased 56 percent of the Kate Spade brand in 1999 and the remaining 44 percent in 2006. The Group sold the label in 2006 to Liz Claiborne Inc., for $124 million; it was later renamed Fifth & Pacific. The company was purchased by Coach, Inc. in May 2017; both Coach and Kate Spade are part of Tapestry, Inc.

paragraph: Section::::Career.:Frances Valentine.

paragraph: After selling the remaining portion of her ownership stake in the Kate Spade brand in 2006, Spade took time off to raise her daughter. In 2016, she and her business partners, including Elyce Arons, launched a new collection of luxury footwear and handbags under the brand name Frances Valentine. The name Frances is a family name on Spade's paternal side; her daughter is named Frances, as were her grandfather, father, and brother. "Valentine" came from Spade's maternal side; it was her grandfather's middle name, given because he was born on Valentine's Day. In 2016, Spade legally added Valentine to her full name.

paragraph: Section::::Personal life.

paragraph: Spade married Andy Spade, the brother of actor/comedian David Spade, in 1994. The couple had one child, Frances Beatrix Spade, born in 2005. The actress Rachel Brosnahan is Spade's niece.

paragraph: Section::::Death.

paragraph: A housekeeper found Spade dead in her Manhattan apartment on June 5, 2018. Her death was ruled a suicide by hanging. Police reported she had left a note addressed to her daughter. The day after his wife's death, Andy Spade released a statement: "Kate suffered from depression and anxiety for many years. She was actively seeking help and working closely with doctors to treat her disorder. … There was no indication and no warning that she would do this. It was a complete shock. And it clearly wasn't her. There were personal demons she was battling."The flagship Kate Spade New York store in Manhattan displayed a sign in its front window reading "Kate Spade, the visionary founder of our brand, has passed. Our thoughts are with her family at this incredibly heartbreaking time. We honor all the beauty she brought into this world". Kate Spade's brand at the time of her death, Frances Valentine, honors Spade's legacy with a collection of designs called "Love Katy". Frances Valentine had years' worth of Spade's designs and inspirations in their library and plan to launch them.

paragraph: Section::::Awards.

paragraph: In 1996, the CFDA awarded Spade "America's New Fashion Talent in Accessories" for her classic designs. In 1998, the organization again honored her for "Best Accessory Designer of the Year".

paragraph: Her home collection won her three design awards in 2004, including, "House Beautiful's" "Giants of Design Award for Tastemaker", "Bon Appétit"s "American Food and Entertaining Award for Designer of the Year", and "Elle Decor"s "Elle Decor International Design Award for Bedding".

paragraph: In 2017, she was inducted into the Entrepreneur Hall of Fame at the Henry W. Bloch School of Management at the University of Missouri, Kansas City.

paragraph: Also in 2017, she was named one of the Most Creative People in Business by "Fast Company".

paragraph: Vincent Ogé

paragraph: Vincent Ogé (; c.1755 – 6 February 1791) was a wealthy free man of mixed-race descent who instigated a revolt against white colonial authority in French Saint-Domingue that lasted from October to December 1790 in the area outside Cap-Français, the colony's main city. The Ogé revolt of 1790 foretold the massive slave uprising of August 1791 that began the Haitian Revolution.

paragraph: Section::::Biography.

paragraph: Ogé was a wealthy and educated free man of colour born in Dondon, Saint-Domingue, of one-quarter African descent and three-quarters French ancestry (a "quadroon"). He was the third son of Jacques Ogé, a white man and Jacqueline Ossé, a free woman of color. With eight children, the Ogé family was large, and Vincent is often confused with his older brother Jacques, who was also involved in what was known as the Ogé revolt. The family owned a coffee plantation in Dondon parish and his mother later held a contract to supply meat to the town's butchers. Educated in Bordeaux, Ogé returned to work with his uncle and namesake Vincent Ogé, a merchant in the major colonial city of Cap-Français (today's Cap-Haïtien). Vincent Ogé "jeune" (the younger), as he was called for most of his life, eventually took over his uncle's business. He leased valuable urban properties, traded coffee and imported French products to the colony.

paragraph: In 1789 he was in Paris on business when the French Revolution broke out. By August of that year he had approached a group of colonial planters living in Paris to propose changing racial laws in the colony that discriminated against light-skinned men regardless of their wealth and education. Independently Julien Raimond, from a similar background in Saint-Domingue, spoke to the group of planters about the same time. When the planters (called "grands blancs") rebuffed their ideas, Ogé and Raimond began to attend meetings in Paris of a group headed by Étienne Dejoly, a white lawyer. He was a member of the Society of the Friends of the Blacks ("Société des Amis des Noirs"), an anti-slavery society founded in 1788 in Paris by Jacques Pierre Brissot.

paragraph: Together with Dejoly, Raimond and Ogé quickly became the leaders of this group. They began to pressure the French National Assembly to give them representation and to force the colonists to allow voting rights for wealthy free men of color. Like others of their class, both men owned slaves in Saint-Domingue, and they claimed they did not intend to weaken slavery. Instead, they said, making free men of color equal to whites in political rights would strengthen their devotion to France and make the system of slavery more secure.

paragraph: In October 1790 Ogé returned to Saint-Domingue determined to obtain voting privileges for free men of color, whether by persuasion or force. He believed that an amendment passed by the General Assembly of France in March of that year asserted the equality of free men of property. It read "all the proprietors... ought to be active citizens." Ogé believed this gave him the right to vote in upcoming colonial elections. He put pressure on the colonial governor and other authorities to guarantee the voting rights of wealthy free men of color; the colonial governor Count de Blanchelande refused. While free men of color had become educated and some were wealthy property owners, colonial laws excluded them from voting and holding office, and limited them in other ways.

paragraph: After his return to Saint-Domingue, Vincent Ogé sent this letter from Grande Rivière, his camp in the Department of the North, to the President of the Assembly of that department:

paragraph: With support Ogé obtained from the British abolitionist Thomas Clarkson in London, Ogé returned to Saint-Domingue via Charleston, South Carolina. Though planters accused him of purchasing firearms in the United States, there is no evidence of this. In October 1790, he arrived in Saint-Domingue. Meeting with Jean-Baptiste Chavannes, another free man of color, militiaman, and veteran of the American Revolution, Ogé soon gathered a force of about 250 to 300 free men of color. This group of men successfully defeated or frightened away several detachments of colonial militia sent out from Cap-Français.

paragraph: Ogé and his rebels were flushed out by a larger force of professional soldiers and forced across the border into the Spanish colony of Santo Domingo. On 20 November 1790, Ogé and 23 of his associates, including Jean-Baptiste Chavannes, were captured in Hinche, then part of the Spanish controlled part of Hispaniola. They surrendered after receiving guarantees of safety, but the Spanish authorities nevertheless returned Ogé and his men to the colonial government of de Blanchelande in Le Cap.

paragraph: Vincent Ogé was brutally executed by being broken on the wheel in the public square in Le Cap on 6 February 1791. Dozens more of his men were severely punished in February 1791. Their treatment served only to heat up the already boiling cauldron of dissatisfaction among free men of color and slaves in the colony. Ogé became an important symbol of the injustices of a colonial slave society that wanted to restrict the benefits of the French Revolution to whites only.

paragraph: Stanislaus Kostka

paragraph: Stanisław Kostka S.J. (28 October 1550 – 15 August 1568) was a Polish novice of the Society of Jesus. He is venerated in the Catholic Church as Saint Stanislaus Kostka (as distinct from his namesake, the 11th-century Bishop of Kraków Stanislaus the Martyr).

paragraph: He was born at Rostkowo, Przasnysz County, Poland, on 28 October 1550, and died at Rome during the night of 14–15 August 1568. He entered the Society of Jesus in Rome on his 17th birthday (28 October 1567), and is said to have foretold his death a few days before it occurred.

paragraph: Section::::Biography.

paragraph: Section::::Biography.:Family.

paragraph: His father was a senator of the Kingdom of Poland and Lord of Zakroczym; his mother was Małgorzata Kryska from Drobni (Margaret de Drobniy Kryska), the sister and niece of the voivodes of Masovia and the aunt of the celebrated Chancellor of Poland, Feliks Kryski (Felix Kryski)(Szczęsny Kryski). He was the second of seven children. His older brother Paweł (Paul) survived to be present at the beatification ceremony of Stanislaus in 1605. At home, the two brothers were taught with firmness, even severity; its results were their piety, modesty, temperance, and submission.

paragraph: Section::::Biography.:School life.

paragraph: On 25 July 1564, they arrived at Vienna with their tutor to attend the Jesuit college that had been opened four years before. Stanislaus was soon conspicuous among his classmates during his three years of schooling, not only for his amiability and cheerfulness of expression, but also for his growing religious fervour and piety. His brother Paul said during the process of beatification that "He devoted himself so completely to spiritual things that he frequently became unconscious, especially in the church of the Jesuit Fathers at Vienna." One of the practices of devotion which he joined while at Vienna was the Congregation of St. Barbara and Our Lady, "of which he, with numbers of the pupils of the Society of Jesus" also belonged. Stanislaus alleged to a fellow-member of the Society at Rome that Saint Barbara brought two angels to him during the course of a serious illness, in order to give him the Eucharist. His tutor, John Bilinski, witnessed the miracle, and though he himself did not see what Stanislaus claimed to see, he "was certain that Stanislaus was not at all out of his mind through the violence of his sickness."

paragraph: Section::::Biography.:Relationship with his brother.

paragraph: Exasperated by his younger brother's piety, Paul began to mistreat Stanislaus. Stanislaus suffered the unjust treatment with remarkable stoicism and patience, but "one night after Stanislaus had again suffered the harsh comments and blows of his brother, he turned on Paul with the words: 'Your rough treatment will end in my going away never to return, and you will have to explain my leaving to our father and mother.' Paul's sole reply was to swear violently at him."

paragraph: Section::::Biography.:Entry into the Society of Jesus.

paragraph: "The thought of joining the Society of Jesus had already entered the mind of the saintly young man. It was six months, however, before he ventured to speak of this to the superiors of the Society. At Vienna they hesitated to receive him, fearing the tempest that would probably be raised by his father against the Society, which had just quieted a storm unleashed by other admissions to the Company. Stanislaus quickly grasped the situation and formed the plan of applying to the general of the Society at Rome. The distance was five hundred leagues, which had to be made on foot, without equipment or guide or any other resources but the precarious charity that might be received on the road. The prospective dangers and humiliations of such a journey, however, did not alarm his courage.On the morning of the day on which he was to carry out his project he called his servant to him early and told him to notify his brother Paul and his tutor in the course of the morning that he would not be back that day to dinner. Then he started, exchanging the dress of gentleman for that of a mendicant, which was the only way to escape the curiosity of those he met. By nightfall Paul and the tutor comprehended that Stanislaus had fled, as he had threatened. They were seized with a fierce anger, and as the day was ended the fugitive had gained a day over them. They started to follow him, but were not able to overtake him; either their exhausted horses refused to go further, or a wheel of their carriage would break, or, as the tutor frankly declared, they had mistaken the route, having left the city by a different road from the one which Stanislaus had taken. It is noticeable that in his testimony Paul gives no explanation of his ill-luck.Stanislaus stayed for a month at Dillingen, where the provincial of that time, Saint Peter Canisius, put the young aspirant's vocation to the test by employing him in the boarding-school. He arrived 25 October 1567 in Rome. As he was greatly exhausted by the journey, the general of the order, Saint Francis Borgia, would not permit him to enter the novitiate of Saint Andrew until several days later. During the ten remaining months of his life, according to the testimony of the master of novices, Father Giulio Fazio, "he was a model and mirror of religious perfection. Notwithstanding his very delicate constitution he did not spare himself the slightest penance". He had such a burning fever in his chest that he was often obliged to apply cold compresses."

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

paragraph: On the evening of the feast of Saint Lawrence (10 August), Stanislaus felt a mortal weakness, made worse by a high fever, and clearly saw that his last hour had come. He wrote a letter to the Blessed Virgin begging her to call him to the skies there to celebrate with her the glorious anniversary of her Assumption (15 August). His confidence in the Blessed Virgin, which had already brought him many favours, was this time again rewarded; on 15 August, towards 4:00 in the morning, while he prayed to God, to the saints, and to the Virgin Mary, he died. Many in the city proclaimed him a saint and people hastened from all parts to venerate his remains and to obtain, if possible, some relics.

paragraph: Section::::Sainthood.

paragraph: The Holy See ratified his beatification in 1605; he was canonized in 1726. St. Stanislaus is a popular saint of Poland, and many religious institutions have chosen him as the protector of their novitiates. The representations of him in art are quite varied; he is sometimes depicted receiving Holy Communion from the hands of angels, or receiving the Infant Jesus from the hands of the Virgin, or in the midst of a battle putting to flight the enemies of his country. At times he is depicted near a fountain putting a wet linen cloth on his breast. He is invoked for palpitations of the heart and for dangerous cases of illness (Cahier, "Caractéristiques des Saints").

paragraph: On 15 August 2018 Pope Francis wrote to the Bishop of Płock in honor of the 450th anniversary of Stanislaus's death. In his message, Pope Francis cites a maxim of Stanislaus's: “'"Ad maiora natus sum"' – 'I was born for greater things'".

paragraph: Section::::Depiction in art.

paragraph: There is a portrait by Scipione Delfine, the oldest of St. Stanislaus in existence. Having probably been painted at Rome within two years of his death, it may be regarded as the best likeness. The face is strikingly Slavic, a fact that is not noticeable in his other portraits.

paragraph: Additionally, Pierre Le Gros, the younger completed a marble statue of the saint in 1705.

paragraph: Section::::Depiction in literature.

paragraph: St. Thérèse of Lisieux wrote a “play” or “pious recreation” about Saint Stanislaus Kostka. Her sister Pauline had asked Thérèse to write verses and theatrical entertainment for liturgical and community festivals. "Like Stanislaus, [Therese] thought she was going to die young having accomplished nothing, 'with empty hands.' From then on, her desire to do good after her death intensified."

paragraph: Section::::Dedications.

paragraph: The following are some places dedicated to him:

paragraph: San Stanislao Kostka, a church in Palermo, Sicily.

paragraph: Abbas Shengeeti

paragraph: Abbas Shengeeti (; born 8 November 1987 in Medina) is a Saudi Arabian footballer who currently plays for Al-Riyadh .

paragraph: Section::::Club career.

paragraph: Section::::Club career.:Ohud.

paragraph: Shengeeti had an eventful three-year stint with Ohud where he was considered as an important part of the squad. On 30 September 2009, being the regular penalty taker at Ohud, he scored his first goal for Ohud from the penalty spot in a 3–1 defeat to Al-Faisaly. On 29 October, he scored the winner in a 1–0 triumph over Abha. On 16 April 2010, he scored two penalties in a 3–2 defeat to local rivals Al-Ansar, also based in the city of Medina. Shengeeti had scored two goals, both penalties, that looked to have ensured a draw for Ohod. However Badr Hawsawi scored a last gasp winner to give Al-Ansar victory in the derby. On 14 September 2011, he scored a last-minute winner in a dramatic 2–1 victory against Dhamk played at the Prince Sultan bin Abdul Aziz Stadium. With the game at 1–1 in the closing minutes, Shengeeti stepped up to the plate and scored a dramatic goal to give Ohud the victory.

paragraph: Section::::Club career.:Al-Wehda.

paragraph: In July 2012, Shengeeti signed for newly promoted Saudi Professional League side Al-Wehda. On 2 August, he made his debut for Al-Wehda in a 1–1 draw with Al-Ettifaq. On 7 October, Shengeeti scored an own goal in a narrow 2–1 defeat to Saudi giants Al-Hilal. Shengeeti looked mentally distraught after his error that ultimately cost Al-Wehda the game. Shengeeti played a total of 12 games for Al-Wehda without scoring.

paragraph: Section::::Club career.:Al-Orobah.

paragraph: On 19 February 2013, Shengeeti signed for Saudi First Division side Al-Orobah. Upon the move, Shengeeti stated that 'he was very happy to be joining a club the size of Al-Orobah'. On 15 March, Shengeeti scored a last gasp goal in an emotional 4–3 win against Hetten. With the game at 3–3 in the last few minutes of the game, with this match being a very important game for Al-Orobah, Shengeeti scored a last minute goal which resulted in a 4–3 victory for Al-Orobah. Many Al-Orobah fans saw this victory as an important part of their title-winning season. Shengeeti contributed significantly towards the latter end of the season helping Al-Orobah win the Saudi First Division title and gain promotion to the Saudi Professional League.

paragraph: Section::::Club career.:Najran.

paragraph: In June 2013, Shengeeti signed a three-year deal with Saudi Professional League side Najran. Najran were thought to be impressed with Shengeeti's tireless work rate and his recent form shown for Al-Orobah. Shengeeti failed to make an impact for Najran and didn't replicate the form he had shown at Al-Orobah.

paragraph: Section::::Club career.:Return to Al-Orobah.

paragraph: In September 2013, Shengeeti re-signed for Al-Orobah. On 1 November 2013, Shengeeti made his second debut for Al-Orobah in a 2–0 loss to his former club Najran

paragraph: Section::::Club career.:Al-Khaleej.

paragraph: In January 2014, Shengeeti signed for Saudi First Division side Al-Khaleej on a season-long loan from Al-Orobah. Shengeeti had a debut to forget as he was shown a red card in a 2–2 draw with Abha. Shengeeti played a big part in the teams successful promotion push to the Saudi Professional League. The move was subsequently made permanent on 8 May. Al-Khaleej will be the third team Shengeeti has played for in the Saudi Professional League.

paragraph: Section::::Club career.:Al-Nahda Club.

paragraph: In August 2014, Shengeeti signed for Saudi First Division side Al-Nahda on a free transfer from Al-Khaleej. On 16 August, Shengeeti scored on his debut for the club in a 1-0 win over Abha played at the Prince Sultan bin Abdul Aziz Stadium. On 23 August, Shengeeti scored a last gasp goal on his second appearance for Al-Nahda to win the game against Al-Watani. On 5 September, Shengeeti bagged a goal in a 2-1 victory over Al-Jeel at the Prince Mohamed bin Fahd Stadium.

paragraph: Section::::Club career.:Return to Al-Khaleej.

paragraph: On 19 May 2015, Shengeeti re-signed for Saudi Professional League side Al-Khaleej on a two-year deal after completing a fantastic season for Saudi First Division outfit Al-Nahda and rejoined former Al-Nahda manager Jalal Qaderi. This will be the 4th different club Shengeeti has played for in the Saudi Professional League. Shengeeti's move back to the Saudi Professional League also received praise from his cousin who is fellow professional footballer Loïc Rémy, who stated that he was "proud of his cousin on his big move".

paragraph: Section::::Personal life.

paragraph: Shengeeti is the cousin of France international and current Lille OSC forward Loïc Rémy he is of African decent.

paragraph: Robert Hues

paragraph: Robert Hues (1553 – 24 May 1632) was an English mathematician and geographer. He attended St. Mary Hall at Oxford, and graduated in 1578. Hues became interested in geography and mathematics, and studied navigation at a school set up by Walter Raleigh. During a trip to Newfoundland, he made observations which caused him to doubt the accepted published values for variations of the compass. Between 1586 and 1588, Hues travelled with Thomas Cavendish on a circumnavigation of the globe, performing astronomical observations and taking the latitudes of places they visited. Beginning in August 1591, Hues and Cavendish again set out on another circumnavigation of the globe. During the voyage, Hues made astronomical observations in the South Atlantic, and continued his observations of the variation of the compass at various latitudes and at the Equator. Cavendish died on the journey in 1592, and Hues returned to England the following year.

paragraph: In 1594, Hues published his discoveries in the Latin work "Tractatus de globis et eorum usu" ("Treatise on Globes and Their Use") which was written to explain the use of the terrestrial and celestial globes that had been made and published by Emery Molyneux in late 1592 or early 1593, and to encourage English sailors to use practical astronomical navigation. Hues' work subsequently went into at least 12 other printings in Dutch, English, French and Latin.

paragraph: Hues continued to have dealings with Raleigh in the 1590s, and later became a servant of Thomas Grey, 15th Baron Grey de Wilton. While Grey was imprisoned in the Tower of London for participating in the Bye Plot, Hues stayed with him. Following Grey's death in 1614, Hues attended upon Henry Percy, the 9th Earl of Northumberland, when he was confined in the Tower; one source states that Hues, Thomas Harriot and Walter Warner were Northumberland's constant companions and known as his "Three Magi", although this is disputed. Hues tutored Northumberland's son Algernon Percy (who was to become the 10th Earl of Northumberland) at Oxford, and subsequently (in 1622–1623) Algernon's younger brother Henry. In later years, Hues lived in Oxford where he was a fellow of the University, and discussed mathematics and related subjects with like-minded friends. He died on 24 May 1632 in the city and was buried in Christ Church Cathedral.

paragraph: Section::::Early years and education.

paragraph: Robert Hues was born in 1553 at Little Hereford in Herefordshire, England. In 1571, at the age of 18 years, he entered Brasenose College, University of Oxford. English antiquarian Anthony à Wood (1632–1695) wrote that when Hues arrived at Oxford he was "only a poor scholar or servitor ... he continued for some time a very sober and serious servant ... but being sensible of the loss of time which he sustained there by constant attendance, he transferred himself to St Mary's Hall". Hues graduated with a Bachelor of Arts (B.A.) degree on 12 July 1578, having shown marked skill in Greek. He later gave advice to the dramatist and poet George Chapman for his 1616 English translation of Homer, and Chapman referred to him as his "learned and valuable friend". According to the "Oxford Dictionary of National Biography", there is unsubstantiated evidence that after completing his degree Hues was held in the Tower of London, though no reason is given for this, then went abroad after his release. It is possible he travelled to Continental Europe.

paragraph: Hues was a friend of the geographer Richard Hakluyt, who was then regent master of Christ Church. In the 1580s, Hakluyt introduced him to Walter Raleigh and explorers and navigators whom Raleigh knew. In addition, it is likely that Hues came to know astronomer and mathematician Thomas Harriot and Walter Warner at Thomas Allen's lectures in mathematics. The four men were later associated with Henry Percy, the 9th Earl of Northumberland, who was known as the "Wizard Earl" for his interest in scientific and alchemical experiments and his library.

paragraph: Section::::Career.

paragraph: Hues became interested in geography and mathematics – an undated source indicates that he disputed accepted values of variations of the compass after making observations off the Newfoundland coast. He either went there on a fishing trip, or may have joined a 1585 voyage to Virginia arranged by Raleigh and led by Richard Grenville, which passed Newfoundland on the return journey to England. Hues perhaps become acquainted with the sailor Thomas Cavendish at this time, as both of them were taught by Harriot at Raleigh's school of navigation. An anonymous 17th-century manuscript states that Hues circumnavigated the world with Cavendish between 1586 and 1588 "purposely for taking the true Latitude of places"; he may have been the "NH" who wrote a brief account of the voyage that was published by Hakluyt in his 1589 work "The Principall Navigations, Voiages, and Discoveries of the English Nation". In the year that book appeared, Hues was with Edward Wright on the Earl of Cumberland's raiding expedition to the Azores to capture Spanish galleons.

paragraph: Beginning in August 1591, Hues joined Cavendish on another attempt to circumnavigate the globe. Sailing on the "Leicester", they were accompanied by the explorer John Davis on the "Desire". Cavendish and Davis agreed that they would part company once they had cleared the Strait of Magellan between Chile and Isla Grande de Tierra del Fuego, as Davis intended to sail to America to search for the Northwest Passage. The expedition was ultimately unsuccessful, although Davis did discover the Falkland Islands. In the meantime, delayed in small harbours in the Strait with crew members dying from the cold, illness and starvation, Cavendish turned back eastwards to return to England. He was plagued by mutinous crewmen, and also by natives and Portuguese who attacked his sailors seeking food and water on shore. Increasingly depressed, Cavendish died in 1592 somewhere in the Atlantic Ocean, possibly a suicide.

paragraph: During the voyage, Hues made astronomical observations of the Southern Cross and other stars of the Southern Hemisphere while in the South Atlantic, and also observed the variation of the compass there and at the Equator. He returned to England with Davis in 1593, and published his discoveries in the work "Tractatus de globis et eorum usu" ("Treatise on Globes and Their Use", 1594), which he dedicated to Raleigh. The book was written to explain the use of the terrestrial and celestial globes that had been made and published by Emery Molyneux in late 1592 or early 1593. Apparently, the book was also intended to encourage English sailors to use practical astronomical navigation, although Lesley Cormack has observed that the fact it was written in Latin suggests that it was aimed at scholarly readers on the Continent. In 1595, William Sanderson, a London merchant who had largely financed the globes' construction, presented a small globe together with Hues' "Latin booke that teacheth the use of my great globes" to Robert Cecil, a statesman who was spymaster and minister to Elizabeth I and James I. Hues' work subsequently went into at least 12 other printings in Dutch (1597, 1613 and 1622), English (1638 and 1659), French (1618) and Latin (1611, 1613, 1617, 1627, 1659 and 1663). In his book "An Accidence or The Path-way to Experience: Necessary for all Young Sea-men" (1626), John Smith, who founded the first permanent English settlement in North America at Jamestown, Virginia, listed Hues' book among the works that a young seaman should study.

paragraph: "Tractatus de globis" begins with a letter by Hues dedicated to Raleigh that recalled geographical discoveries made by Englishmen during Elizabeth I's reign. However, he felt that his countrymen would have surpassed the Spaniards and Portuguese if they had a complete knowledge of astronomy and geometry, which were essential to successful navigation. In the preface of the book, Hues rehearsed arguments that proved the earth is a sphere, and refuted opposing theories. The treatise was divided into five parts. The first part described elements common to Molyneux's terrestrial and celestial globes, including the circles and lines inscribed on them, zones and climates, and the use of each globe's wooden horizon circle and brass meridian. The second part described planets, fixed stars and constellations; while the third part described the lands and seas shown on the terrestrial globe, and discussed the length of the circumference of the earth and of a degree of a great circle. Part 4, which Hues considered the most important part of the work, explained how the globes enabled seamen to determine the sun's position, latitude, course and distance, amplitudes and azimuths, and time and declination. The final part of the work contained a treatise inspired by Harriot on rhumb lines. In the work, Hues also published for the first time the six fundamental navigational propositions involved in solving what was later termed the "nautical triangle" used for plane sailing. Difference of latitude and departure (or longitude) are two sides of the triangle forming a right angle, the distance travelled is the hypotenuse, and the angle between difference of latitude and distance is the course. If any two elements are known, the other two can be determined by plotting or calculation using tables of sines, tangents and secants.

paragraph: In the 1590s, Hues continued to have dealings with Raleigh – he was one of the executors of Raleigh's will – and he may have been the "Hewes" who dined with Northumberland regularly in 1591. He later became a servant of Thomas Grey, the 15th and last Baron Grey de Wilton (1575–1614). For participating in the Bye Plot, a conspiracy by Roman Catholic priest William Watson to kidnap James I and force him to repeal anti-Catholic legislation, Grey was attainted and forfeited his title in 1603. The following year, he was imprisoned in the Tower of London. Grey was given consent for Hues to stay in the Tower with him. Between 1605 and 1621, Northumberland was also confined in the Tower; he was suspected of involvement in the Gunpowder Plot of 1605 because his relative Thomas Percy was among the conspirators.

paragraph: In 1616, following Grey's death, Hues began to be "attendant upon th'aforesaid Earle of Northumberland for matters of learning", and was paid a yearly sum of £40 to support his research until Northumberland's death in 1632. Wood stated that Harriot, Hues and Warner were Northumberland's "constant companions, and were usually called the Earl of Northumberland's Three Magi. They had a table at the Earl's charge, and the Earl himself did constantly converse with them, and with Sir Walter Raleigh, then in the Tower". Together with the scientist Nathanael Toporley and the mathematician Thomas Allen, the men kept abreast of developments in astronomy, mathematics, physiology and the physical sciences, and made important contributions in these areas. According to the letter writer John Chamberlain, Northumberland refused a pardon offered to him in 1617, preferring to remain with Harriot, Hues and Warner. However, the fact that these companions of Northumberland were his "Three Magi" studying with him in the Tower of London has been regarded as a romanticisation by the antiquarian John Aubrey and disputed for lack of evidence. Hues was tutor to Northumberland's sons: first Algernon Percy, who subsequently became the 10th Earl of Northumberland, at Oxford where he matriculated at Christ Church in 1617; and later Algernon's younger brother Henry in 1622–1623. Hues lived at Christ Church at this time, but may have occasionally attended upon Northumberland at Petworth House in Petworth, West Sussex, and at Syon House in London after the latter's release from the Tower in 1622. Hues sometimes met Walter Warner in London, and they are known to have discussed the reflection of bodies.

paragraph: Section::::Later life.

paragraph: In later years, Hues lived in Oxford where he discussed mathematics and allied subjects with like-minded friends. Cormack states he was a fellow at the University. Under the terms of the will of Thomas Harriot, who died on 2 July 1621, Hues and Warner were given the responsibility of helping Harriot's executor Nathaniel Torporley to prepare Harriot's mathematical papers for publication. Hues was also required to help price Harriot's books and other possessions for sale to the Bodleian Library.

paragraph: Hues, who did not marry, died on 24 May 1632 in Stone House, St. Aldate's (opposite the Blue Boar in central Oxford). This was the house of John Smith, M.A., the son of a cook at Christ Church named J. Smith. In his will, Hues made many small bequests to his friends, including a sum of £20 to his "kinswoman" Mary Holly (of whom nothing is known), and 20 nobles to each of her three sisters. He was buried in Christ Church Cathedral, and a monumental brass to him was placed in Christ Church with the following inscription:

paragraph: Henri Rivière (painter)

paragraph: Henri Rivière (March 11, 1864 – August 24, 1951) was a French artist and designer best known for his creation of a form of shadow play at the "Chat Noir" cabaret, and for his post-Impressionist illustrations of Breton landscapes and the Eiffel Tower.

paragraph: Section::::Early life.

paragraph: Rivière was born in Paris. His father ran a haberdashery shop in the city. In 1870, fleeing from the advancing Prussians during the Franco-Prussian war, his father moved the family back to his childhood home in the Pyrenees. He died three years later and Rivière's mother returned to Paris and remarried. Rivière grew up in Paris, showing an early interest in art, especially Impressionism.

paragraph: After a brief period working at an ostrich-feather importation business, Rivière signed on for formal training in art with the painter Émile Bin. From 1880, he was contributing illustrations to magazines and journals.

paragraph: Rivière soon became associated with the cabarets in Montmartre, especially the popular "Chat Noir" (Black Cat) café. From 1882, Rivière worked as part of the editorial team on the weekly "Chat Noir journal", which published light verse, short stories and illustrations. Rivière edited and contributed art and reviews to the journal until 1885.

paragraph: Section::::Shadow plays.

paragraph: In 1886 Rivière created a form of shadow theatre at the "Chat Noir" under the name "ombres chinoises". This was a notable success, lasting for a decade until the cafe closed in 1897. He used back-lit zinc cut-out figures which appeared as silhouettes. Rivière was soon joined by Caran d'Ache and other artists, initially performing d'Ache's drama "L’Epopee". From 1886 to 1896, Rivière created 43 shadow plays on a great variety of subjects from myth, history and the Bible. He collaborated with many different artists and writers, but made the illustrations for only 9 of the productions himself. He concentrated on improving the technical aspects of the production using enamelling and lighting to create extremely delicate effects of light and colour. The "Ombres" evolved into numerous theatrical productions and had a major influence on phantasmagoria.

paragraph: According to historians Phillip Cate and Mary Shaw, Rivière's work involved both aesthetic and technical innovations,

paragraph: Essentially, Rivière created a system in which he placed silhouettes of figures, animals, elements of landscapes, and so forth, within a wooden framework at three distances from the screen: the closest created an absolutely black silhouette, and the next two created gradations of black to gray, thus suggesting recession into space. Silhouettes could be moved across the screen on runners within the frame.

paragraph: Along with d'Ache's "L’Epopee", Rivière's own works "Le Temptation de Saint Antoine" (1887) and "La Marche a L'etoile" (1890), were the most successful and popular. Rivière's shadow theatre was the cabaret's greatest attraction and "played a crucial role in establishing the credibility of the cabaret with that other tier of the avant-garde, the Impressionists/Post Impressionists: Edgar Degas, Camille Pissarro, Claude Monet, Mary Cassatt, and others."

paragraph: Section::::Prints.

paragraph: Between 1882 and 1886 Rivière created a large number of etchings. He also showed an interest in photography, making a series of picturesque scenes of everyday life. He later experimented with colour woodcuts and chromolithography in the late 1880s. Rivière first visited Brittany in 1884, spending most of his summers there until 1916. Together with bustling Parisian life, rural Brittany constituted the majority of the subjects of his landscape works.

paragraph: Rivière’s prints were generally intended to be published as collections. These include forty images used in "Breton Landscapes", created between 1890 and 1894. He also made colour woodcuts for "The Sea: Studies of Waves", and prepared other sequences that remained unfinished, including "36 Views of the Eiffel Tower", which were eventually published as lithographs. These were influenced by the vogue for Japonism at the time, modernising the famous prints by Hiroshige and Hokusai of "36 Views of Mount Fuji".

paragraph: His colour lithographic series' include:

paragraph: BULLET::::- "The Aspects of Nature" (1897 to 1899), 16 images

paragraph: BULLET::::- "The Beautiful Land of Brittany" (1897 to 1917), 20 images

paragraph: BULLET::::- "Parisian Landscapes" (1900), 8 images

paragraph: BULLET::::- "The Magic Hours" (1901 to 1902), 16 images

paragraph: BULLET::::- "Thirty-Six Views of the Eiffel Tower" (1902), 36 images

paragraph: BULLET::::- "The Noirot Wind" (1906), 4 images

paragraph: Rivière ceased making prints in 1917, effectively retiring as a professional artist, but continued to work on watercolours in his later years. He died on August 24, 1951.

paragraph: Daniel Blok

paragraph: Daniel Blok or Daniel von Block (1580–1660) was a German Baroque painter.

paragraph: Section::::Biography.

paragraph: According to Houbraken he was the son of Marten Blok of Utrecht. He was sent to learn the art of painting portraits from Jakob Scherer in Gdańsk. He attracted the attention of Gustavus Adolphus of Sweden, for whom he painted portraits.

paragraph: Houbraken goes on to say that he made a genealogical and heraldic family tree for the Dukes of Mecklenburg-Schwerin, and went from being painter to becoming courtier, but he lost everything in a fire in 1651 during the Thirty Years War. He survived and fled to Rostock, where he lived to the age of 80.

paragraph: His son Benjamin Block also became a court painter. According to the RKD, Daniel Block worked in Schwerin, but he must have been active in Lübeck also, since that is where his son was born in 1631.

paragraph: Antonie Waterloo

paragraph: Antonie Waterloo (6 May 1609 – 23 October 1690) was a Dutch Golden Age landscape painter.

paragraph: Section::::Biography.

paragraph: Waterloo is thought to have been born at Ryssel near Lille (located in what is now part of northern France). His mother was Magdalena Vaillant who became a member of the Walloon church in Amsterdam in 1621, followed by his own membership in 1630. Little is known of his early life and, as

paragraph: no records of any formal training as an artist have been discovered, he may well have been self-taught. Although registered as a painter, he had little success in selling his own canvases and, apparently, supported himself through his activities as an art dealer in addition to sales of his drawings and prints.

paragraph: In 1640 he married in Amsterdam, and in 1653 he left the church and moved to Leeuwarden, but in 1654 he buried a daughter in Amsterdam before moving to Maarssen in 1655 where he lived until 1676. According to Houbraken he was good friends with Jan Weenix who told Houbraken that he knew him for 45 years and often visited him in his house between Maarssen and Breukelen where he lived as a bachelor, to decorate his landscape paintings with animals and other objects. Houbraken found his landscapes very natural, and liked his manner of painting reflections in water.

paragraph: Waterloo was among the first artists to have established a reputation almost entirely based upon his work as a draftsman. Oil paintings by Waterloo are relatively scarce, but his many drawings of forest scenes and other topographical views are found in collections in Berlin, Munich, Hamburg, Vienna, Amsterdam, and London. The 1931 catalogue of drawings, for instance lists 29 examples of Waterloo drawings. A landscape artist, Waterloo also produced many etchings which increased his popularity and extended his influence into the next century and beyond to the French Barbizon painters of the mid-19th century. While many of Waterloo's larger etchings and drawings (some almost the size of his paintings) are careful in their depiction of the smallest, individual detail, his smaller drawings of mountain valley views often feature an impressionistic group of forms as atmospheric perspective leads the eye into the hilly distance along a characteristically Baroque zig-zag course. Such drawings may have been known to the English landscape etcher John Robert Cozens and, in turn, may have had a stylistic impact upon the young J.M.W. Turner.

paragraph: His art dealership exposed him to the work of a number of respected contemporary landscape artists such as Jacob van Ruisdael, Simon de Vlieger, Roelant Roghman, and Caesar van Everdingen, from whom he absorbed a variety of influences. Judging from the locales depicted in his drawings, he traveled widely and his trips to Germany, Switzerland, France, Poland. and even Italy have since been theorized. In Germany, he made a trip along the Rhine river, and visited various towns such as Kleef, Bentheim, Hamburg, Altona, Hamburg, Blankenese, Holstein, Bergedorf, Lüneburg en Gdańsk. Waterloo was active in Amsterdam, Leeuwarden, and Utrecht, where he died in 1690.
