paragraph: Bonifacius

paragraph: "Comes" Bonifatius (anglicized as Count Boniface) (died 432) was a Roman general and governor of the Diocese of Africa. He campaigned against the Visigoths in Roman Gaul and the Vandals in Roman North Africa. An ally of Galla Placidia (regent of Valentinian III), Bonifacius engaged in Roman civil wars on her behalf against the generals Flavius Felix in 427-429 and Flavius Aetius in 432. Although he defeated the latter at the Battle of Rimini, Bonifacius suffered a fatal wound and was succeeded by his son-in-law Sebastianus as "patricius" of the Western Roman Empire.

paragraph: Section::::Biography.

paragraph: Section::::Biography.:Early career.

paragraph: Bonifatius first appears as a general of Constantius III in 413, where he defeated the Visigoths of Athaulf at Massilia; he allegedly threw a weapon and wounded the Gothic king himself. Later that decade, Bonifatius was known to be a "tribunus" commanding a Gothic regiment of "foederati" in North Africa campaigning against the Mauri, and had a friendship with St. Augustine of Hippo with whom he discussed theological matters. In 422 he was likely recalled to the Western court in Ravenna, where he probably married his Gothic wife Pelagia, daughter of Beremudus, and inherited her father's "bucellarii". Bonifatius and Castinus then prepared to launch a campaign against the Vandals and Alans in Spain, but Bonifatius' forces never arrived as the two commanders had quarreled constantly since its inception. Galla Placidia sought to prevent Castinus from gaining the position of Stilicho before him, and as a result Castinus attempted to remove Bonifatius from power. Bonifatius retreated to North Africa where he acquired the command of comes africae under dubious circumstances and continued his campaigns against the Mauri tribes. After the death of Emperor Honorius the "primicerius notariorum" Joannes was elevated to the throne by Castinus in 424, and Bonifatius responded by cutting off the Grain supply from North Africa, showing his support for Placidia and Theodosius II. Prosper states that Ioannes forces were weakened because they were campaigning against Bonifatius in North Africa, but were unable to depose him like in the campaigns against Gildo and other North African usurpers. After a revolt in Gaul and a military campaign under the eastern generals Ardabur and Aspar sent by Theodosius II, Joannes was overthrown, and Valentinian III, nephew of Honorius, was made Western emperor by the "magister officiorum" Helion. Bonifatius supported him, and resumed the grain shipments to Rome, being rewarded the position of comes domesticorum in return.

paragraph: Section::::Biography.:Civil War with Felix.

paragraph: In 427, Bonifatius was recalled to Ravenna by Placidia, but refused the summons. Bonifatius was accused of attempting to form his own empire in Roman Africa at the allegation of Flavius Constantius Felix, who had also been a staunch supporter of Placidia and had been installed as the "magister utriusque militiae" of the west by Theodosius II. Placidia ordered Felix to send an army to restore the vital province in response. Mavortius and Gallio, generals of Felix, led a Roman force against Bonifatius, assisted by Hun Foederati under Sanoeces, and laid siege to him at Carthage. However the besiegers turned on each other, and Sanoeces and his Huns killed the Romans before he was killed himself, which broke the siege. When news reached Ravenna, Felix sent the Comes Sigisvultus against Bonifacius, who campaigned with his Goths in Africa for two years. Sigisvult captured Carthage, but Bonifatius and his Gothic bucellarii continued to campaign in Numidia, where they were allowed to loot the province. Bonifatius also had his daughter baptized by an Arian priest, which caused a falling out between him and St. Augustine. However, Placidia sent an envoy to Bonifatius in 429, from which she learned that a letter had been forged ordering him not to return to Ravenna if summoned. A man named Darius was sent to negotiate a truce between Bonifatius and Sigisvultus, and as a result Bonifatius was restored to Placidia's favor and the civil war ended in time to face the Vandal threat.

paragraph: Section::::Biography.:Campaigns against the Vandals.

paragraph: Some sources report that Bonifatius invited the Vandals to Africa, though doubt has been cast on this in recent years. The Vandals crossed near Roman Tingis, and an inscription at Altava dated to 429 mentions the deceased was wounded by a "barbarian" during the Vandal advance across Africa. Their campaign was briefly halted by Darius, who negotiated a brief truce, but Gaiseric quickly resumed. Bonifatius, the African army, and a contingent of supporting Gothic "foederati" confronted and were defeated by Gaiseric near the city of Calama in 430, after which Bonifatius retreated to the city of Hippo Regius. In May or June of 430, Gaiseric laid siege to the city, and St. Augustine died during the siege, which was finally lifted in July or August of 431. Leaving it at the mercy of Gaiseric, Bonifatius retreated out of the city to join his forces with the Eastern Roman general Aspar, who had been sent to reinforce Africa by Theodosius II. In early 432, Bonifatius and Aspar engaged Gaiseric in battle, but were again defeated. Allegedly, the future emperor Marcian was captured in this engagement, but released after Gaiseric had a vision of him becoming Emperor.

paragraph: Section::::Biography.:Civil War with Aetius and Death.

paragraph: In 432, after Flavius Felix, his wife Padusia, and a deacon had been hanged by the Roman army, allegedly at the instigation of Flavius Aetius whose power she sought to resist, Placidia appointed Bonifatius "magister utriusque militiae" and "patricius" of the west, despite his unsuccessful record in Africa. Bonifacius led his forces against Aetius and the Gallic army at the Battle of Rimini in 432. Bonifacius and his son-in-law Sebastianus were victorious, and Aetius was allowed to retire to his private estates, although Bonifatius was mortally wounded by a lance during the conflict. He died sometime between a few days and three months after the battle. Sebastianus, appointed to fill his place, attempted to have Aetius assassinated, only for Aetius to flee to the court of the Huns and return with their support. Allegedly Sebastianus was preparing to fight Aetius by summoning the Visigoths to his aid, but he was evidently unpopular with the army and allowed them to engage in piracy, and had lost support in the court as well. Sebastianus was exiled, and as a result Aetius became the dominant power in the Western Roman Empire, and married Bonifacius' widow Pelagia allegedly at his request.

paragraph: Antonio Maria Valsalva

paragraph: Antonio Maria Valsalva (17 January 1666 – 2 February 1723), was an Italian anatomist born in Imola. His research focused on the anatomy of the ears. He coined the term Eustachian tube and he described the aortic sinuses of Valsalva in his writings, published posthumously in 1740. His name is associated with the Valsalva antrum of the ear and the Valsalva maneuver, which is used as a test of circulatory function. Anatomical structures bearing his name are "Valsalva’s muscle" and "taeniae Valsalvae".

paragraph: Section::::Background.

paragraph: Valsalva was born at Imola. The contemporary of Isaac Newton and Johann Sebastian Bach, he was educated in the humanities, mathematics, and natural sciences. After studies of the liberal arts, he studied medicine and philosophy in Bologna. He was taught by Marcello Malpighi, who is known as the founder of microscopic anatomy. Valsalva graduated from the medical school in 1687. In 1705, he was appointed professor of anatomy at Bologna. He was later chosen as president of the Academy of the Sciences. Valsalva taught Giovanni Battista Morgagni who edited Valsalva’s complete writings and published a biography on Valsalva, both in 1740.

paragraph: In 1709, Valsalva married Elena Lisi. As he lost his health, he lost his sense of smell, but he recognized the prodromal symptoms, in the form of dyslalia, of the disease that would eventually cause his death from stroke at Bologna in 1723.

paragraph: Valsalva was buried in the church of San Giovanni in Monte, Bologna. The Valsalva family donated a collection of dried anatomical specimens to be used for educational purposes to the Institute of Sciences founded in 1711. The wear of this material that followed possibly inspired the work of the Bolognese school of wax modeling and the artists Ercole Lelli and Giovanni and Anna Morandi Manzolini. This new anatomic collection includes models of the heart and lungs and is today presented at the Museum of Anatomy.

paragraph: Valsalva was described as a skillful surgeon and excellent physician, a meticulous anatomist with high scientific integrity, and a man of great kindness. Morgagni wrote "". . . there is nobody of those times who goes ahead of him, very few who are his equals.""

paragraph: Section::::Research.

paragraph: Valsalva both studied and taught in the fields of science, surgery, anatomy, physiology, and psychiatry. At a young age, Valsalva had successfully removed a dog’s kidney. He opposed cauterization in the treatment of wounds, and recommended humanitarian treatment of mentally ill patients. His main interest was the middle and internal ear, including the muscles of the external ear and the pharyngeal muscles.

paragraph: Valsalva named the Eustachian tube and described its function and that of its muscle. He showed the connection between the mastoid cells and the tympanic cavity, and made observations on physiologic and pathologic processes of the ear. "De aure humana tractatus" published in 1704 contains a description of the Valsalva maneuver and patency test of the auditory tubes.

paragraph: A skilled anatomist, Valsalva conducted many autopsies on deceased patients. During the 17th century, lacking chemical tests and knowledge of disease transmission mechanisms, he sometimes tasted the fluids he encountered in cadavers in an effort to better characterize them. "Gangrenous pus does not taste good", he wrote, "leaving the tongue tingling unpleasantly for the better part of the day."

paragraph: Section::::Valsalva device in spacesuits.

paragraph: The Valsalva device is a device used in spacesuits to allow astronauts to equalize the pressure in their ears by performing the Valsalva maneuver inside the suit without using their hands to block their nose. It has also been used for other purposes, such as to remove moisture from the face.

paragraph: Landon Ronald

paragraph: Sir Landon Ronald (born Landon Ronald Russell) (7 June 1873 – 14 August 1938) was an English conductor, composer, pianist, teacher and administrator.

paragraph: In his early career he gained work as an accompanist and "répétiteur", but struggled to make his way as a conductor. In the absence of operatic or symphonic work he made his living as a conductor and composer in West End shows in the late 19th and early 20th century. With the foundation of the London Symphony Orchestra in 1904 his career began to flourish, and by 1908 he was well-enough established to be chosen to succeed Thomas Beecham as conductor of the New Symphony Orchestra in London.

paragraph: Ronald was an early enthusiast for recording, and was associated with the Gramophone Company (eventually known as EMI) from 1900 for the rest of his life.

paragraph: From 1910 until shortly before his death, Ronald was principal of the Guildhall School of Music in London. He modernised the curriculum and raised its standards to compete with the leading musical training establishments the Royal Academy of Music and the Royal College of Music.

paragraph: Section::::Life and career.

paragraph: Section::::Life and career.:Early years.

paragraph: Ronald was born in Kensington, London, the illegitimate son of Henry Russell, singer, songwriter and merchant, and his partner Hannah de Lara, a painter. He was the younger brother of the impresario Henry Russell and half brother of the novelist William Clark Russell. He was educated at St Marylebone Grammar School and a boarding school in Margate, and took private music lessons from the violinist Henry Holmes and the composer Kate Loder. Between 1884 and 1890 he was enrolled at the Royal College of Music, where he studied under Hubert Parry and Charles Villiers Stanford.

paragraph: In 1891 Ronald was appointed "maestro al piano" (accompanist and "répétiteur") at the Royal Opera House; this was valuable experience, bringing him into contact with leading singers and with the scores of the opera repertoire. In her memoirs, Nellie Melba told how Ronald coached her in "Manon", playing the accompaniment from memory, having learned the piece from scratch overnight. The following year he became conductor of Augustus Harris's touring opera company. In 1894, he toured the United States as accompanist for Melba. He composed piano music and songs, some of which were well received. He first conducted at Covent Garden in July 1896, for a production of "Faust", starring Melba, Charles Bonnard and Pol Plançon. In August 1897 he married Mimi Ettlinger (1873–1932), daughter of a Frankfurt cloth merchant; they had one son.

paragraph: Operatic and concert work was in short supply for young English conductors at the time; Ronald was obliged to seek employment in musical comedy in the late 1890s and early 1900s. Among those for whom he conducted and composed were Harry Graham, Lionel Brough, Kate Cutler, Evie Greene and John Le Hay. Neither this employment nor his engagement from 1898 as conductor of the Winter Gardens concerts in Blackpool helped his professional advancement in the snobbish atmosphere of fin de siècle England.

paragraph: Ronald continued to compose serious music; a song-cycle, "Summertime", was written for the tenor Ben Davies, who premiered it in 1901. The music critic of "The Manchester Guardian" called the songs "melodious", but added that they "impressed by their graceful lyrical character rather than by evidence of any inventive fancy."

paragraph: Section::::Life and career.:HMV and orchestral appointments.

paragraph: In 1900 Ronald was approached by Fred Gaisberg of the recording firm the Gramophone & Typewriter Company, predecessor of EMI. He accepted the post of musical adviser, and was the pianist on many of the company's early song recordings. Gaisberg calculated that Ronald's varied musical contacts would help the new company recruit the distinguished performers it needed. Ronald helped the company to sign up Melba and other leading singers including Adelina Patti, Charles Santley and Enrico Caruso. He remained closely connected with HMV for the rest of his career, becoming a director in 1930 and a founder-director of Electrical and Musical Industries (EMI) formed by the merger of HMV with its rival, the Columbia Graphophone Company in 1931.

paragraph: In 1901 Ronald was conductor of London's Queens Hall concerts and in the same year he was contracted by Blackpool's Winter Gardens as conductor of summer Sunday concerts until where Adelina Patti, Nellie Melba and Caruso performed. He held this position until the First World War. Ronald began to make progress as a conductor after the foundation of the London Symphony Orchestra (LSO) in 1904. He was a frequent guest conductor of the LSO, and in 1905 he was appointed director of the Birmingham Promenade Concerts. When Thomas Beecham parted company from the New Symphony Orchestra in 1908, Ronald succeeded him as its conductor. The orchestra was later known as the Royal Albert Hall orchestra; Ronald remained with it until 1928, when it disbanded. He and the orchestra began recording for HMV in 1909. Their recorded repertoire comprised mostly overtures and short orchestral pieces, mainly by Tchaikovsky and Wagner, but also longer works including the "Peer Gynt" suite and Schubert's Unfinished Symphony. Ronald also worked with the Scottish Orchestra, and in continental European countries.

paragraph: Landon Ronald conducted over four hundred times at the Royal Albert Hall, London between 1898 and 1936, mainly with the Royal Albert Hall Orchestra. His last performance at the Hall was on 4 February 1936 for the 'Memorial Concert in Commemoration of His Late Most Gracious Majesty King George V', where he conducted and played the piano.

paragraph: Ronald was also closely associated with the music of Elgar. In later life he recalled Parry's "smacking me on the back and saying 'I heard yesterday Richter perform the "Enigma" Variations by a Mr. Elgar, which is the finest thing I have listened to for years. Look out for this man's music'." He was the pianist in the first performance of Elgar's Violin Sonata in E minor in 1919, with W H Reed the violinist, and was the dedicatee of "Falstaff", a work regarded by some as Elgar's masterpiece, though Ronald admitted privately, "Never could make head or tail of the piece". He recorded little of Elgar's music, because HMV signed the composer up to record his own works; Ronald recorded the Coronation Ode, and the "Coronation March" in March 1935, a year after Elgar's death.

paragraph: As a conductor Ronald was especially noted as a concerto accompanist; the critic Robert Elkin described Arthur Nikisch as "the finest accompanist until Landon Ronald". His repertoire was limited. Unlike Adrian Boult he did not feel it his duty to present difficult modern works. Elgar and Richard Strauss were the only contemporary composers with whose music he was much associated. He retired from conducting in 1929.

paragraph: Section::::Life and career.:Later years.

paragraph: In 1910 Ronald succeeded W H Cummings as principal of the Guildhall School of Music, a post he held until 1938. He overhauled the curriculum and the administration of the school. According to his biographer, Raymond Holden, "By modernizing teaching methods, and increasing the morale of those working and studying at the institution, he raised the status of the school." He also formed a professors' club to bring a more collegiate spirit into the school. Under Ronald the standard of teaching was brought into line with that of the Royal Academy of Music and the Royal College of Music. In his later years he laid great emphasis on the importance of live music, and worried that broadcasting and the gramophone were making music so ubiquitous and casually accessible that it was no longer special.

paragraph: Among Ronald's output as a composer are more than 200 songs. They include "Serenade espagnole" recorded by Caruso. The critic Michael Kennedy writes, "His compositions include a symphonic poem, an overture, a ballet, "Britannia's Realm", composed for the coronation of Edward VII in 1902, and incidental music to Robert Hichens’s "The Garden of Allah" (1921, Drury Lane), but it is his song "Down in the Forest" that has survived."

paragraph: Ronald was knighted in 1922, and published a volume of memoirs, "Variations on a Personal Theme" in the same year. He published a second volume, "Myself and Others", in 1931. In 1932 Ronald's wife died by suicide; he married Mollie Callison of Manchester shortly afterwards.

paragraph: Ronald died in London at the age of 65 after two years of declining health.

paragraph: Blessed Berthold of Garsten ( 1060 - 27 July 1142) was a German Roman Catholic priest and professed member from the Order of Saint Benedict.

paragraph: He is believed to be from the house of the Counts of Bogen and "Vögte" of the Regensburg Cathedral. He was to begin his pastoral career as a Benedictine monk at Saint Blaise in the Black Forest and was then - in 1107 - appointed prior at Göttweig. Ottokar II of Styria entrusted him with the development of the Garsten Abbey of which he became the first abbot in 1111. In this post he distinguished himself by his piety, kindness, devotion to his pastoral duties and organisational talent. Berthold introduced the Hirsau Reforms into Austria.

paragraph: He died on 27 July 1142 and is buried in Garsten Abbey. His feast day is celebrated in the Diocese of Linz as well as the Diocese of St. Pölten and the Archdiocese of Salzburg on 27 July. He was beatified in 1970.

paragraph: Llywelyn ap Gruffydd Fychan

paragraph: Llywelyn ap Gruffydd Fychan of Caeo ( 1341–1401) was a wealthy Carmarthenshire landowner who was executed in Llandovery by Henry IV of England in punishment for his support of Owain Glyndŵr's Welsh rebellion.

paragraph: Until recently Llewelyn was little known even in his home area, but has become celebrated as a "Welsh Braveheart" after a campaign to construct a monument to him in Llandovery.

paragraph: Section::::Life.

paragraph: The main source for Llewelyn's life is Adam of Usk, who mentions him in his "Chronicle" as a "bountiful" member of the Carmarthenshire gentry who used "fifteen pipes of wine" yearly in his household (implying he was both wealthy and a generous host). He continues by stating that as a result of Llewelyn's support for the rebellion, Henry had him drawn, hung, eviscerated, beheaded and quartered before the gate of Llandovery castle on October 9, 1401 "in the presence of his eldest son" (it is slightly unclear whether Adam is referring to Henry's son or Llewelyn's son at this point). After his death his lands were granted to one of Henry's supporters, Gruffydd ap Rhys.

paragraph: A more detailed version of the story suggests that Llewelyn was specifically charged with having deliberately led the English forces the wrong way while pretending to guide them to Glyndŵr. Adam, however, states only that Llewelyn "willingly preferred death to treachery". Llewelyn is also thought to have had two sons fighting in Glyndŵr's forces.

paragraph: Section::::Genealogy.

paragraph: While Llewelyn undoubtedly existed, concrete details of his life are scant (it has been stated that all that is known of him is "his name, his politics and his alcohol consumption"). However, his name and ancestry may be recorded in later genealogies. His father Gruffydd Fychan (described as "lord of Caeo and Cilycwm") was recorded as holding the constableship of Caeo in 1359 for the sum of £8 per annum; Gruffydd's wife (and therefore Llewelyn's mother) was said to have been Jonnett, daughter of Gruffydd ap Llewelyn Foethus of Dryslwyn Castle.

paragraph: Lewys Dwnn's "Heraldic Visitations", a 16th-century genealogical record of Welsh landowning families, identifies Llewelyn's wife as Sioned, daughter of one of the Scudamores of Kentchurch, and lists his sons as Gwilym (of Llangadog) and Morgan. As one of the Scudamores married Glyndŵr's daughter Alys, this suggests significant family links between Llewelyn ap Gruffydd Fychan and Glyndŵr. Dwnn claims that Llewelyn's son Morgan became the Abbot of Strata Florida later in his life, "and was a man held in great respect".

paragraph: Dwnn also notes Llewelyn's grandsons "Llywelyn, Tomas [and] Morgan meibion [sons of] Gwilim ap Llewelyn ap Gruffydd vachan ap Dafydd vongam ap David ap Meurig goch" as holding Mallaen in the parish of Caeo, and traces the family back to Selyf, King of Dyfed through the lords of Caeo and Cilycwm. Llewelyn's (probable) grandson, Llewelyn ap Gwilym ap Llewelyn, was said by Edward Lhuyd to have lived at the mansion of Neuadd Fawr at Cilycwm, where his "motto over his door was "Gresso pan dhelech, a chennad pan vynnech, a phan dhelech tra vynnecli trig""

paragraph: Section::::Statue.

paragraph: A campaign was started in 1998 in Llandovery to construct a monument to Llewelyn; financial support came both from the community and the Arts Council of Wales. After an exhibition of proposed designs in 2000, a public vote chose a submission by Toby and Gideon Petersen of St Clears.

paragraph: The stainless steel statue, a figure with an empty helmet, cloak and armour stands on a base of stone brought from Caeo. Petersen described the statue as representing a "brave nobody", with the empty helmet and armour representing both the universal nature of Llewelyn's actions and the violence of his death.

paragraph: Michael Patrick Driscoll

paragraph: Michael Patrick Driscoll (August 8, 1939 – October 24, 2017) was an American prelate of the Roman Catholic Church. He was the seventh Bishop of Boise. He retired on August 8, 2014.

paragraph: Section::::Early life and ministry.

paragraph: Michael Driscoll was born in Long Beach, California. As a child, he would pretend to celebrate Mass, giving Necco candy wafers as communion to his younger siblings. He attended St. John's Seminary in Camarillo, and was ordained to the priesthood by James Cardinal McIntyre on May 1, 1965.

paragraph: He did pastoral work in Los Angeles and Burbank, and earned a Master's degree in Social Work from the University of Southern California in 1973. He served as Chancellor (1976–1987), Vicar for Religious and for Charities, and Vicar General in the Diocese of Orange.

paragraph: Section::::Episcopal career.

paragraph: On December 19, 1989, Driscoll was appointed Auxiliary Bishop of Orange and Titular Bishop of "Maxita" by Pope John Paul II. He received his episcopal consecration on March 6, 1990 from Bishop Norman McFarland, with Bishops John Steinbock and Thomas Connolly serving as co-consecrators.

paragraph: Driscoll was later named Bishop of Boise, Idaho, on January 18, 1999. Replacing Bishop Tod Brown, he was formally installed on the following March 17. After 15 years with the Diocese of Boise, Bishop Driscoll retired on August 8, 2014 and Bishop Peter Christensen was named his successor.

paragraph: Diocese of Boise Bishop Michael Driscoll apologized for his role in Orange County, California's Roman Catholic Church sex-abuse scandal. Driscoll, who was in charge of priest personnel affairs for the Diocese of Orange County from its 1976 inception until leaving for Idaho in 1999, made the stunning admission in a letter printed in the Idaho Catholic Register, stating he was "deeply sorry for the way we handled cases [in Orange County] allowed children to be victimized by permitting some priests to remain in ministry, for not disclosing their behavior to those who might be at risk, and for not monitoring their actions more closely."

paragraph: A Los Angeles Superior Court judge was expected to release priest personnel files that were supposed to become public as part of a $100-million settlement reached in 2005 between the Orange diocese and sex-abuse victims, the largest in the history of the Catholic Church. Church sources say Driscoll's name is all over the documents, which molestation survivors claim will show the various cover-ups Orange County diocesan officials executed while Driscoll served as chancellor and auxiliary bishop.

paragraph: Richard Fagan

paragraph: Richard Fagan (April 24, 1947 – August 5, 2016) was an American songwriter and musician. He had six top ten singles and 18 charted singles on the Billboard Country charts. Fagan's songs have been recorded by Neil Diamond, George Strait, John Michael Montgomery, Clay Walker, Ricochet, Hank Williams, Jr., George Jones, Shania Twain, Patty Loveless, Collin Raye, Shenandoah, The Crickets, Jason & the Scorchers, The Blues Brothers Band and many others.

paragraph: In 1979 his song "The Good Lord Loves You" was recorded by Neil Diamond and released on the "September Morn" album. The song charted in the "Billboard" Hot 100, peaking at number 67 in April 1980. Fagan accomplished nine Billboard Country chart singles in the 1990s including two of John Michael Montgomery's number one singles: "Be My Baby Tonight" and "Sold (The Grundy County Auction Incident)". Fagan had three additional songs on the Billboard Country charts in the 2000s, including the song "Why Can't We All Just Get a Long Neck?" that appears on the Hank Williams, Jr. album, "I'm One of You".

paragraph: On April 26, 2008, Fagan had a physical altercation with his publishing partner and best friend, Tom Oteri. Fagan was arrested for drunk driving after leaving the scene of the fight where Oteri was later found dead, having suffered a heart attack. Fagan was convicted of the drunk driving charge and sentenced to rehabilitative therapy with the support of Oteri's family members who still regarded Fagan as a close friend after the incident.

paragraph: Section::::Biography.

paragraph: Section::::Biography.:Early life and discovery.

paragraph: Richard learned basic guitar skills as a young child and began to refine those skills and singing do-wop in Philadelphia as a teenager. According to Richard's account, he encountered two other people singing in the Junior High lunch room, suggested some changes while joining along and immediately had new friends and singing companions. After being drafted into the Army and serving a year in Vietnam, Fagan returned to Philadelphia where, for a while, he was homeless. He married and had a son, but divorced in 1975. Tom Oteri discovered Fagan's songwriting talents and invited him to a recording studio audition. In 1976 Oteri recorded five of Fagan's songs and sent them to various producers but because the recordings did not identify an address or phone number they never received any response. Bob Gaudio, Neil Diamond's producer, heard one of the songs and hired an ex-FBI agent as a private detective to find the song's author.

paragraph: Section::::Biography.:Initial success and Mercury Records.

paragraph: In 1978 Bob Gaudio acquired Fagan's song, "The Good Lord Loves You." The song finally appeared three years later on Diamond's "September Morn" album. Gaudio also managed to get Fagan signed with Mercury Records and produced his first album. Fagan relocated to Los Angeles, learned to play piano and recorded the tracks for his first album, "Richard Fagan" which was released the last week of 1979 just about the same time that "September Morn" was released. Fagan's album received critical acclaim and he recorded the tracks for a second album, "Jiver", but Mercury never released it.

paragraph: Section::::Biography.:Nashville and country music.

paragraph: Fagan's initial success was not achieved again until he relocated from Los Angeles to Nashville, Tennessee in January 1986. Within a week of his relocation, he had one of his songs, "Blue Suede Blues", recorded by Con Hunley. The song reached number 49 on the Billboard Country charts in 1986. That same first week in Nashville Fagan had another song accepted – "Americana" – by Moe Bandy, which was released in 1988. In March it reached number 8 on the Billboard Country charts. and was quickly adopted by George H. W. Bush as a theme song for his Presidential Campaign.

paragraph: Fagan's songs have appeared on the soundtracks of five Hollywood feature films. He has written a network television theme song, a Presidential campaign song, a national sports anthem, show tunes, gospel songs, comic numbers and a Billboard Country Single of the Year. Working with a variety of collaborators, he has been responsible for such unforgettable hits as "Sold," "Only on Days That End in Y," "I Miss You a Little," "Overnight Male" and "Be My Baby Tonight." Albums containing Fagan songs have sold more than 25 million copies. "God has always given me a pot of gold," says Richard Fagan. "I think there's a reason for it all. And I guess my being naïve helped me to succeed in Nashville. I didn't know it at the time, but my timing was great."

paragraph: Section::::Biography.:Death of Tom Oteri.

paragraph: "Their relationship was more like father and son than anything," said Fagan's friend and frequent co-writer Kacey Jones. "Tom rescued Rich from a life situation that would have gone nowhere but bad. He dusted him off and said, 'Your job is to write songs. I'll make sure you have a roof over your head and food and all the things you need to live, and you'll write songs.' "

paragraph: That arrangement detonated on April 26, 2008, when an argument led to a brawl. Fagan says it was the only time they had ever had a physical fight. Fagan was full of Patron and antidepressants, Oteri high and low on the painkiller Fentanyl, which had been prescribed after he broke a rib. Wounded by Fagan's knife, Oteri yelled at his friend to leave, perhaps out of anger and perhaps for protection. Fagan drove off, drunk, and was arrested for driving under the influence of alcohol. He spent the night in jail, and was on his way home on bail, hoping to make apologies and amends with Oteri, when he was called back to the Harding precinct.

paragraph: "The detective said, 'Your friend's dead. Murder one,' " Fagan recalled. "My best friend of 32 years. The next day, Tom's son and his daughter and sister came to visit. They said I was crying my eyes out, saying, 'It should have been me.' I did wish I was dead. But I wasn't dead, so what do I do?"

paragraph: The answer came back from Tom Oteri Jr.: You'll write songs.

paragraph: "My dad believed in Rich's music," said Oteri Jr., who is now publishing Fagan's songs through his Broadminded Music company. "I can't let all the work they did go to waste. I grew up around Rich, and I've known him all my life, and I know that what happened was an accident. I have to let Rich keep going. It's what my dad would want."

paragraph: Tokuji Hayakawa

paragraph: The success of the “Tokubijō” belt buckle led to Hayakawa starting his own metallurgical processing, which then developed into the present-day Sharp Corporation.

paragraph: Section::::Life.

paragraph: Hayakawa was born in Tokyo in 1893. Due to difficult domestic circumstances, he was adopted by the Ideno family. He left primary school after second grade due to his family’s poverty and was apprenticed to a maker of metallic ornaments.

paragraph: Hayakawa was inspired to invent a new belt that could be fastened to any length and developed a buckle that used a roller to fasten a belt without puncturing it. Tokuji applied for a patent, using the name “Tokubijō.” When Hayakawa launched his buckle in 1912, demand in Japan for the buckle increased with the spread of Western-style fashions.

paragraph: The first order for the Tokubijō buckle was huge — 33 grosses or 4,752 in total. Tokuji decided to produce his buckle independently. He borrowed most of the capital and opened his own manufacturing operation in September 1912. His manufacturing process steadily improved, and the business expanded.

paragraph: In 1913, Hayakawa acquired the patent of an innovative water faucet, and in 1915, he developed the prototype of the Sharp automatic pencil still sold today. Later, he expanded his enterprise into electronics manufacturing of radios, tape-recorders and televisions. He was also active in social welfare programs. He died in 1980 at the age of 86.

paragraph: Matsudaira Tadanao

paragraph: Section::::Biography.

paragraph: Tadanao was born in Settsu Province in 1595 as the eldest son of Yūki Hideyasu. His childhood name was Senchiyomaru (仙千代). In 1603, he travelled to Edo with his father, and was received by his uncle, Shōgun Tokugawa Hidetada, who took a great liking to him. In 1605, he received the courtesy title was "Mikawa-no-kami", and his Court rank of Senior Fourth Rank, Lower Grade. HIs courtesy title was elevated to "Ukonoue-gon-shōshō" the following year.

paragraph: In 1607, on the death of his father, he became "daimyō" of the 750,000 "koku" Fukui Domain and in 1611 was wed to Katsuhime, one of Hidetada's daughters. He also underwent the "genpuku" ceremony, and was granted a "kanji" from Hidetada's name, becoming Matsudaira Tadanao and his courtesy title was changed to "Sakonoue-gon-shōshō", and rank elevated to Senior Fourth Rank, Upper Grade.

paragraph: However, from 1612 to 1613, there was armed conflict within Fukui Domain between various of his senior retainers. The issues were resolved with some difficulty by the shogunate, who blamed Tadanao's youth and inexperience for allowing the situation to get out of hand.

paragraph: Tadanao led Fukui troops in battle at the Osaka Winter Campaign, but lost control of his mercenary troops, for which he was scolded severely by his grandfather, the retired shōgun Tokugawa Ieyasu. He took part in the next year's Summer Campaign, taking the head of Sanada Yukimura, and leading his forces at the very tip of the Tokugawa advance into Osaka Castle. However, he received no reward for his efforts, and his court rank remained at the "jusanmi-sangi" (従三位参議; senior 3rd rank, councillor) which he had been awarded in 1615, although his father had been "chūnagon" (中納言; Middle Councilor). He was, however, granted the courtesy titles of "Echizen-no-kami" and "Sakonoue-gon-chūshō" in 1615. Tadanao was so upset with the perceived insult that in 1621 he feigned illness and did not make his required "sankin kōtai" trip to Edo; in 1622 he even attempted to poison his wife (who was saved at the last moment by one of her maids taking her place). He even led his own soldiers on rampages through the homes of retainers.

paragraph: In 1622, he was banished by Hidetada to Funai Domain in Bungo Province, where he was allowed a 5000 "koku" allowance. He also entered the Buddhist priesthood, taking the name Ippaku (一伯). For the first three years, he lived at Ogiwara village on the coast, but then moved to an inland location at the insistence of local authorities, who feared that he might attempt to escape.

paragraph: He died in 1650 at age 56.

paragraph: Tadanao's son Mitsunaga was transferred from Fukui to Takada Domain in Echigo Province.

paragraph: Tadanao's brother Tadamasa was transferred to Fukui Domain, The clan continued to hold the fief until the end of the Edo period.

paragraph: Joseph Hirshhorn

paragraph: Joseph Herman Hirshhorn (August 11, 1899 – August 31, 1981) was an entrepreneur, financier, and art collector.

paragraph: Section::::Biography.

paragraph: Born in Mitau, Latvia, the twelfth of thirteen children, Hirshhorn emigrated to the United States with his widowed mother at the age of six.

paragraph: Hirshhorn went to work as an office boy on Wall Street at age 14. Three years later, in 1916, he became a stockbroker and earned $168,000 that year. A shrewd investor, he sold off his Wall Street investments two months before the collapse of 1929, realizing $4 million in cash. Hirshhorn made his fortune in the mining and oil business. In the 1930s, he focused much of his attention on gold and uranium mining prospects in Canada, establishing an office in Toronto in 1933.

paragraph: In the 1950s, he and geologist Franc Joubin were primarily responsible for the "Big Z" uranium discovery in northeastern Ontario and the subsequent founding of the city of Elliot Lake. Hirshhorn Avenue, a residential street in that city, is named after him. By 1960, when he sold the last of his uranium stock, he had made over $100 million in cash from the uranium business.

paragraph: From 1961 to 1976, Hirshhorn lived in a three-story Norman chateau in a estate at the summit of Round Hill, a rise in north-central Greenwich, Connecticut, with a view of the Manhattan skyline.

paragraph: Section::::Art collecting.

paragraph: When Hirshhorn began to make money, he began to buy art, both paintings and sculpture. He amassed a collection of paintings and sculptures from the 19th and 20th centuries. Applying himself seriously to the study of art, he would question dealers, critics, and curators, and visit artists in their studios. He made quick decisions on buying a piece. "If you've got to look at a picture a dozen times before you make up your mind", he once said, "there's something wrong with you or the picture".

paragraph: Hirshhorn graced his Greenwich mansion with paintings by Willem de Kooning, Raphael Soyer, Jackson Pollock, Larry Rivers, and Thomas Eakins, and the grounds outside with sculptures by Auguste Rodin, Pablo Picasso, Henri Matisse, Alberto Giacometti, Alexander Calder, Richard Bernstein (artist), and Henry Moore. He allowed many nonprofit groups to use tours of his sculpture garden for fundraising.

paragraph: In 1966 Hirshhorn donated much of his collection, consisting of 6,000 paintings and sculptures from the 19th and 20h centuries (and constituting one of the world's largest private art treasures), to the United States government, along with a $2 million endowment. The Smithsonian Institution established the Joseph H. Hirshhorn Museum and Sculpture Garden in Washington, D.C., in 1966 to hold the collection; the museum opened in 1974. At Hirshhorn's death in 1981, he willed an additional 6,000 works and a $5 million endowment to the museum.

paragraph: Section::::Controversy.

paragraph: His business dealings in Canada were not without controversy. He was investigated by the Ontario Securities Commission, convicted twice of breaking Canadian foreign exchange laws, deported from Canada for illegal stock manipulation (which he later appealed and won by having himself declared a landed immigrant), and fined for an illegal securities sale and illegally smuggling cash out of Canada.

paragraph: Section::::Personal life.

paragraph: Hirshhorn's first wife was Jennie Berman. They were married in 1922 and separated in 1941 (19 years). They had four children, daughters Robin Gertrude (b. 1923), Gene Harriet (b. 1926), and Naomi Caryl (b. 1931), and son Gordon (b. 1929). He was married to portraitist and book illustrator Lily Harmon from 1947–1956 (9 years). The couple adopted two daughters, Amy (b. 1948) and Jo Ann (b. 1951). Hirshhorn's third wife was Brenda Hawley Heide. In 1964 he married his fourth wife, Olga Zatorsky. He remained married to her until his death in 1981

paragraph: Yamamoto Shōun

paragraph: , who is also known as Matsutani Shōun, was a Japanese print designer, painter, and illustrator. He was born in the city of Kōchi in Kōchi Prefecture, into a family of retainers of the "shōgun" and was given the name Mosaburō. As a teenager, he studied Kanō-school painting with Yanagimoto Doso and Kawada Shoryu. At about age 17, he moved to Tokyo, where he studied Nanga painting with Taki Katei. At 20 years of age, he was employed as an illustrator for "Fugoku gaho", a pictorial magazine dealing with the sights in and around Tokyo. In his latter career, Shōun primarily produced paintings. He died in 1965, at the age of 96.

paragraph: In addition to his magazine illustrations, Shōun is best known for his woodblock prints of beautiful women and a group of humorous "shikishiban" (prints about 7 by 8 inches). Shōun is considered a bridge between ukiyo-e and shin-hanga. His career spans the Meiji (1868–1912), Taishō (1912–1926) and Shōwa (1926–1989) periods.

paragraph: Yamamoto Shōun signed most of his works with a very small compact signature reading "Shōun" ().

paragraph: Dora Bromberger

paragraph: Dora Bromberger (1881–1942) was German artist who worked primarily with watercolor and oils, painting expressionist landscapes.

paragraph: She was born into a family of musicians in Bremen, Germany, and attended art school beginning in 1912, first in Bremen, then in Munich, and later in Paris. Her work was shown internationally as well as in the Kunsthalle Bremen and the 1928 exhibition "Deutscher Kunst der Gegenwart" (German Contemporary Art) in Nüremberg. Born into a Jewish family, she converted to the evangelical church in 1888. With the increasing influence of the National Socialists, she was continually harassed for her religious heritage. While her brother successfully emigrated to Cuba in 1939, Bromberger was unable to leave the country. The painter remained a close friend and supported her during this time despite interrogations by the Gestapo. In 1941 she was deported to Minsk and sent to the Maly Trostenets concentration camp, where she was killed in 1942.
