paragraph: Albrecht Dietz

paragraph: Albrecht Dietz (11 March 1926 – 21 March 2012) was a German entrepreneur and scientist who founded the first leasing company in Germany. He is considered to be one of the pioneers and founding fathers of the German leasing industry. His publications on economic subjects range from leasing and corporate management to institutions and evolutionary economics.

paragraph: Section::::Biography.

paragraph: Albrecht Dietz was born in Dresden as the son of merchant and inventor, Albert Dietz, and the early-childhood educator, Lydia Dietz. After taking his school-leaving exam in 1944 at the Dresden Grammar School of Business and Economics he went on to study economics and law; at first at the TU Dresden and later, following the bombing of Dresden in 1945, at the University Jena from which he graduated in 1947 with a degree in Business Studies. In 1948 he became a scientific assistant to Erich Gutenberg at the Goethe University in Frankfurt am Main. He received his PhD in 1949 with a doctoral dissertation titled “Die Theorie der Overhead Costs” (The Theory of Overhead Costs ).

paragraph: Dietz began professional life as an auditor in 1949 at the Deutsche Revisions- und Treuhand AG in Frankfurt am Main. From 1953 he occupied diverse posts in the office machinery industry, among them a position as manager of the financial and accounting office of the German Olivetti AG, as sales director at Ankerwerke AG and as managing director at Deutsche Underwood GmbH (see also Underwood Typewriter Company). He became acquainted with easing in the United States in the late 1950s. In 1962, he founded Maschinen Miete GmbH as the managing partner. It was the first leasing company for mobile goods together with Deutsche Leasing GmbH. Dietz had become the founding father and pioneer of a successful industry. In 1971, the leasing forerunner trio, Deutsche Leasing GmbH, Maschinen Miete GmbH and Mietdienst GmbH, merged to form Deutsche Leasing AG, of which Albrecht Dietz was the CEO from 1971 until 1991. Dietz also acted as President of the German Association of Leasing Companies and played a major role in drawing up the leasing directives of German tax legislation at the beginning of the 1970s. They still form the legal basis of leasing contracts today. For some years he also was a member of the Board of Leaseurope, the European Federation of Leasing Company Associations.

paragraph: Since 1982 he has been teaching and researching in the areas of leasing economics, corporate management and institutional economy. He has been participating in international research seminars of the Max Planck Institute for Research into Economic Systems (today the Max Planck Institute of Economics) in Jena as an active guest since 1988. He has been Honorary Professor at the Faculty of Economic Sciences of the Goethe University of Frankfurt am Main since 1990.

paragraph: Frans Oerder

paragraph: Frans David Oerder (7 April 1867 Rotterdam - 15 July 1944 Pretoria) was a Dutch-born South African landscape, still-life and portrait painter, etcher and lithographer.

paragraph: Frans was the youngest of seven children born to a municipal employee, Johannes Carolus Oerder. His father felt that art as a career was foolish, but agreed to his training as a decorator.

paragraph: From 1880 to 1885, Oerder studied art at the Rotterdam Academy, winning the "King William III Gold Medal and Bursary", later touring in Italy and studying in Brussels under Ernest Blanc-Garin (1843–1916) with the help of a small inheritance from his father.

paragraph: Following his brother, he emigrated to South Africa in 1890, and initially worked as house painter and decorator for the firm of De Wyn & Engelenburg. Pressed by a shortage of work he entered the employ of the Zuid-Afrikaansche Spoorweg Maatschappij and painted poles along the Delagoa Bay railway line.

paragraph: In the 1890s, Oerder was, along with Anton van Wouw and James Smith Moreland in Cape Town, one of only three artists in South Africa with recognised professional training. In 1894, he took up the position of art teacher at the "Staatsmeisjesskool", which later became the Pretoria High School for Girls and at the same time rented a studio in Church Street East. He eked out a living by drawing newspaper cartoons and helping Anton van Wouw with commissions. A frequent visitor to the studio during this period was one of his art students, Pierneef.

paragraph: In 1896, Oerder went on a painting holiday to Zululand, and arranged an exhibition of his work in Cape Town.

paragraph: With the outbreak of the Anglo-Boer War in 1899, he was appointed official war artist by President Paul Kruger. His sketches and paintings from this bitter period are held at the War Museum in Bloemfontein, the Africana Museum in Johannesburg and the art collection of the University of Pretoria.

paragraph: In 1903, after the war, and no doubt still remembering his Zululand trip, Oerder travelled and painted along the East African coast, contracting malaria during the trip. He was elected a member of the South African Society of Artists in 1905, and with the tide finally turning in his favour,

paragraph: received several commissions to paint landscapes and portraits, such as that of General Louis Botha.

paragraph: He found conditions difficult in postwar South Africa and in 1908 returned to the Netherlands via Italy. At first he settled in Brabant, but later moved to Amsterdam where he married a fellow painter, Gerda Pitlo, in 1910. Her interest in flower painting influenced him and he started on still life compositions, especially flower studies. His painting "Magnolias" was sold to the New York Graphic Society, becoming one of the most popular images ever and reproductions of this still life achieved record sales for the Society, Oerder receiving no royalties whatever. Oerder hadn't forgotten his ties to South Africa, and occasionally carried out commissions such as designing covers for the weekly magazine, Die Brandwag, and arranging an exhibition in Johannesburg.

paragraph: He eventually returned to Pretoria with his wife in 1938. His work by now was widely acclaimed, and in a grand gesture the tower-room of the Pretoria City Hall was made available to him for use as a studio. Here he painted several important portraits, including that of Jan Smuts. He now had the time and inclination to travel and paint in the Cape Province, Natal and the Northern Transvaal.

paragraph: Complications following on a bout of pneumonia left him debilitated, and he died in Pretoria in 1944. Throughout his career he had divided his output fairly evenly between landscape, portrait and still-life, with the Dutch influence always apparent.

paragraph: Madman the Greatest

paragraph: Madman the Greatest is a British Hip hop recording artist and music producer from Birmingham who has gained notoriety for his underground remixes of classic records including titles by Michael Jackson and Diana Ross, which have polarised his reputation. He is the founder of Playaz Cliq Recordings, the label responsible for his original releases. Under his GR8-1 Music Lab production camp, he is also responsible for the mastering and engineering of all the label's recordings.

paragraph: Section::::History.

paragraph: The artist began his releases with a compilation album called "The Birth" which has been quoted to go gold in Japan during 1998. Due his naivety, this has never been charted or documented by royalties societies. An article by "Street Cred Magazine" in 1999 made this public knowledge, which propelled his reputation as an artist. Since then, many of Madman the Greatest’s written appearances came from UK Magazine, "Hip hop connection" written by Mike Lewis. One of the quotes which established his reputation was "...If the UK had an equivalent to Flip Mode, Madman would be Busta Rhymes. If M.O.P had a UK franchise, Madman would operate it. Get the picture?..."

paragraph: The producer has been quoted for his energetic sound of "...Orchestral Stabs, rough beats and laser effect back in-yer –face lyrics". He often works as main composer for artists including fellow rhyming partners, Mr FX and Ruff MP, his character voices, DJ Zimm Zimmah and Alta Egoz X and under his EDM pseudonym, M Giggy. One of his quoted works is with Stars in their eyes finalist Cecil Foster who impersonated Luther Vandross on the show. Soon afterwards he and Madman the Greatest began recording together, producing their first single, "Fe Fi Fo" and a 12 track album called "About time".

paragraph: Madman the Greatest’s reputation has expanded onto the internet file sharing sites where some of his remixes (or Dubplates) have flourished. Most notable is his remix of Michael Jackson’s "The way you make me feel" which polarized opinions with listeners describing it as the "..one of the best remixes to hit the industry in ten years"

paragraph: "R U Crazy", which appears on a free mixtape called "The UK Invasion"

paragraph: was featured in the soap opera "EastEnders" on the 18 October 2013

paragraph: There is an official streaming station dedicated to Madman the Greatest and his musical associates entitled The Codename is Black

paragraph: which is broadcasting 24/7 of all the artists works. According to the Playaz Cliq Website, it airs a variety of genres including Urban Contemporary, Hip hop, Dance and Instrumentals.

paragraph: Bartchak was ordained a deacon at Christ the King Seminary on September 22, 1980, and served as deacon at St. Joseph Parish, Warren, Pennsylvania. He was ordained a priest for the Roman Catholic Diocese of Erie, Pennsylvania on May 15, 1981, by the late Bishop Michael J. Murphy at St. Peter Cathedral, Erie.

paragraph: Immediately after ordination to the priesthood, Bishop Bartchak was assigned as temporary parochial vicar at St. Joseph Parish, Warren, Pennsylvania. In August 1981, he was assigned as parochial vicar at St. Francis Parish, Clearfield, Pennsylvania. He was also assistant principal and theology teacher at St. Francis High School and part-time chaplain at the Clearfield Hospital. He was transferred to St. Leo Magnus Parish, Ridgway, Pennsylvania, to serve as administrator of the parish for several months when the pastor became ill. He was then appointed parochial vicar at St. Leo Magnus Parish. His duties included pastoral care at the Elk County General Hospital and the Elk County Prison. In these early parish assignments he was active in local ecumenical clergy associations. He was a speaker at ecumenical and civic gatherings.

paragraph: In 1982 Bartchak was appointed part-time Defender of the Bond, and in 1986 he was assigned full-time to the Tribunal of the Diocese of Erie. During his time in Washington, Bartchak assisted as a confessor at the Basilica of the National Shrine of the Immaculate Conception and at the U.S. Naval Academy in Annapolis, Maryland.

paragraph: In August, 1991, Bartchak was assigned to reside at St. Stanislaus Parish in Erie and provide weekend assistance. In 1992 Bartchak was appointed by Bishop Donald Trautman as Judicial Vicar and Director of the Office of Conciliation & Arbitration of the Diocese of Erie. In 2000 he received papal honours from Pope John Paul II with the title of Chaplain to His Holiness.

In 2007 he was appointed as a consultant for the USCCB Committee on Canonical Affairs and Church Governance.

paragraph: Section::::Biography.:Ordination and ministry.:Handling of Sexual Abuse in Erie Diocese.

paragraph: In a grand jury report published by Pennsylvania Attorney General Josh Shapiro on August 14, 2018, Bartchak was criticized for his handling of a 2005 investigation against former Erie priest William Presley. Bartchak was assigned by the Vatican during this time to investigate claims against Presley, who served in the Erie Diocese between 1963 and 1986, and he re-interviewed a male victim who previously disclosed his alleged abuse to the diocese in 1982, 1987 and 2002. On Aug. 25, 2005, Bartchak sent a secret memo to then-Erie Bishop Donald Trautman. Parts of the memo read “I was not surprised to learn from other witnesses from the Elk County area that there are likely to be other victims” and that "it is likely that there may be others who were also of the age for the offenses to be considered delicts, but to what end is it necessary to follow every lead?” Trautman demised that it was "not likely that they will lead to information concerning delicts involving minors under 16 years of age,” Bartchak wrote.

paragraph: Section::::Biography.:Bishop of Altoona-Johnstown.

paragraph: On January 14, 2011, Bartchak was appointed bishop of the Altoona-Johnstown Diocese and was consecrated bishop on April 19, 2011.

paragraph: Dan Kneen

paragraph: Daniel Richard Kneen (26 June 1987 – 30 May 2018) was a professional motorcycle racer from Douglas, Isle of Man.

paragraph: Kneen was a race winner at the Manx Grand Prix (three times) and the Ulster Grand Prix, and finished on the podium at the 2017 Isle of Man TT, in the Superstock race. Kneen died of multiple injuries after an accident during qualifying for the 2018 Isle of Man TT, the 147th competitor to be killed at the Mountain Course during a TT meeting.

paragraph: Section::::Racing history.

paragraph: Section::::Racing history.:Marks Bloom Racing.

paragraph: In 2008, Kneen became the first rider to win a hat-trick at the Manx Grand Prix. He was fourth in the 2009 Metzeler National Superstock 600 cc Championship, winning a race at Oulton Park. Also in 2009, Kneen made his bow at the Isle of Man TT with the Marks Bloom Racing team, taking a top-ten finish in the Superstock TT. The following year, Kneen acquired financial support from Manx Gas ahead of the 2010 Isle of Man TT, continuing with the Marks Bloom Racing outfit. At the event, Kneen took three top-ten finishes, including his first top-five result with a fifth-place finish in the first Supersport Junior TT race, 48 seconds down on race winner Ian Hutchinson. Kneen was also the fastest newcomer at August's Ulster Grand Prix, lapping at during the first Superbike race. On the short-circuits, Kneen finished second in the 2010 British Supersport Championship's privateers' championship, winning at Thruxton and Croft. After the championship had ended, Kneen then made his début at the Macau Grand Prix in November, where he finished 14th.

paragraph: Alongside his road racing commitments, for the 2011 season, Kneen moved into the Evolution Cup class of the British Superbike Championship, riding a Kawasaki Ninja ZX-10R for Marks Bloom Racing. Kneen missed much of the early BSB campaign due to injuries sustained from an accident at RAF Jurby, returning at the North West 200 road races; racing at that event was ultimately cut short due to bad weather. Kneen scored class points in eight races with a best finish of fourth at Brands Hatch, as he finished twelfth in the final Evolution Cup standings. Kneen's fourth place class finish – thirteenth place overall – also allowed him to score three points towards the overall British Superbike Championship. At the Isle of Man TT, Kneen took top-ten placings in the first Supersport race (sixth) and the Superstock race (seventh). On his way to finishing 12th in the Senior TT, Kneen had a high-speed tank-slapper on the exit of the Rhencullen section of the circuit.

paragraph: For the 2012 season, Kneen committed to a fourth campaign for Marks Bloom Racing – with the team now using Suzuki machinery with technical assistance from the main Suzuki road racing team, TAS Racing. Kneen endured a tough season on the short circuits in the Superstock 1000 class, recording a single points-scoring finish of 12th place at Oulton Park in May. On the roads in Northern Ireland, Kneen achieved a pair of eighth-place finishes in the Supersport races at May's North West 200, and four top-ten finishes at the Ulster Grand Prix in August. For the first time since he started competing at the Isle of Man TT, Kneen was unable to record a top-ten finish, with a best result of eleventh in the Superbike TT. He crashed out of the first Supersport race, after he was highsided off the bike on the exit from Governor's Dip onto the Glencrutchery Road; he suffered a back injury in the crash, which ruled him out of racing until the Ulster Grand Prix. At the end of the season, Kneen returned to the Macau Grand Prix, recording a ninth-place finish.

paragraph: Kneen remained with Marks Bloom Racing into 2013, with the team continuing to use Suzukis for the road racing campaign. Just like in 2011, Kneen missed the early portion of his British championship campaign – remaining in Superstock 1000 – and the North West 200, due to injuries sustained from an accident at RAF Jurby. He returned to competition at the Isle of Man TT, finishing five out of the six races he started, with a best result of eleventh place in the first Supersport race. While competing at July's Southern 100, Kneen crashed out on the final corner of the Supersport race, suffering a broken elbow. Following recovery, Kneen returned to the roads at November's Macau Grand Prix; he qualified in tenth position but failed to start the race, after a mechanical issue on the formation lap.

paragraph: Section::::Racing history.:Burrows Engineering Racing.

paragraph: After five years with Marks Bloom Racing, Kneen moved to the Northern Irish Burrows Engineering Racing team, run by former TT competitor John Burrows, for the 2014 season. He made his début for the team at the Cookstown 100 races in April, where he won the race on corrected times from the second wave of starting riders, having qualified in eleventh position. He followed this up the following weekend, at the Tandragee 100, with victories in the Open and main Superbike races, leading into the North West 200 international meeting. At the event, Kneen had one top-ten finish, coming in the Saturday Superstock race. Moving on to the Isle of Man TT in June, Kneen had three top-ten finishes, with a best of seventh place in the Superstock race. Following the TT, Kneen took a pair of victories at the Kells Road Races in County Meath, four podiums at the Dungannon and District Motorcycle Club's Bush Road Races, and a victory in the main Superbike race at the Skerries 100. Later in July, Kneen again recorded four podium finishes at a race meeting, at the Southern 100; in the process of doing so, Kneen recorded the fastest lap of the Billown Circuit by a Manx rider, lapping at during the Senior race – surpassing Conor Cummins' previous best speed.

paragraph: Kneen added a victory at the Walderstown Race of the South meeting, and a third-place finish at the Armoy Road Races, to seal the Ulster Superbike Championship. In preparation for August's Ulster Grand Prix, Kneen finalised the Irish Superbike Championship with a victory in the Faugheen 50, where he also won the Supersport race. At the Ulster Grand Prix, Kneen took his first international road race victory, winning the opening race of the day, the Superstock event. In the race, Kneen battled Dean Harrison and Bruce Anstey for the lead, with the trio trading the race lead throughout; on the final lap, Kneen went round the outside of Harrison on the penultimate corner, and was able to fend him off to the timing line. Kneen's winning margin of 0.001 seconds over Harrison was the closest in Ulster Grand Prix history. Kneen and Harrison were later involved in a race-stopping crash in the following Supersport race; Harrison crashed on slick roads, with Kneen and Keith Amor crashing out in avoidance. All three riders suffered broken bones in the accident, with Kneen fracturing his foot. The crash ruled Kneen out for the remainder of 2014, missing the Classic TT – where he had previously been announced as a replacement for the injured Cameron Donald – and the Macau Grand Prix, having previously been announced on the race's entry list.

paragraph: Section::::Racing history.:Valvoline Racing by Padgett's.

paragraph: Kneen left Burrows Engineering Racing to join the Millsport Racing team on a one-year contract, in November 2014. However, in February 2015, Kneen was looking for a new deal as Millsport Racing did not have enough funding to run their original schedule. A month later, Kneen signed a deal with the Valvoline Racing by Padgett's team, joining Bruce Anstey and Cameron Donald in the team. His first race with the team came at Donington Park in the British National Superstock 1000 cc Championship, where he took an eighth-place finish. At the North West 200, Kneen finished only one of the four races he entered, finishing eleventh in the Saturday Superstock race. As he did in 2014, Kneen had three top-ten finishes at the Isle of Man TT, finishing seventh in the Superbike TT, and ninth in both Supersport TT races. In the Senior TT, Kneen recorded his fastest lap speed of the Mountain Course to that point, lapping at exactly.

paragraph: The following month at the Southern 100, Kneen recorded three podium finishes, with a best finish of second to Guy Martin, in the solo championship race. As a precursor to August's Ulster Grand Prix, Kneen contested the Superbike race in the Dundrod 150 two days prior, qualifying in eighth position and finishing the race in fourth. In the race, he also recorded his best lap speed at the Dundrod Circuit, lapping at on the final lap. Kneen was unable to defend his Superstock race win from the 2014 Ulster Grand Prix, finishing seventh, in the 2015 edition; his best result at the meeting was a sixth-place finish in the second Superbike race. After missing out on the Classic TT in 2014 due to his Ulster Grand Prix injury, Kneen made his Classic TT début in 2015. At the event, he rode a 1989 Superbike World Championship-specification Yamaha OW01, based upon the Yamaha FZ750, in the Formula 1 Classic TT, where he finished in ninth position. He completed the season with a pair of fourth places in the Darley Moor Motor Cycle Road Race Club's Stars at Darley meeting in October.

paragraph: Section::::Racing history.:Mar-Train Racing.

paragraph: In November 2015, it was announced that Kneen was to replace Dean Harrison at Mar-Train Racing, the official Yamaha UK road racing team, for the 2016 season, where he would compete in the Irish road races alongside the international meetings. He made his bow with the team at an Irish short circuit meeting held at the Kirkistown Circuit, finishing second in both Superbike races. He then competed at the Tandragee 100, winning the feature race of the meeting, just as he did in 2014, and also finished second in the Supersport race. He also won the Open race on-the-road, but was penalised 60 seconds for a jump start, dropping him to tenth. The following weekend, Kneen took three podium finishes at the Cookstown 100, in preparation for the North West 200 in mid-May. However, Kneen missed both that event and the Isle of Man TT, after breaking his arm in a mountain biking accident.

paragraph: He made his return to racing at the Southern 100 in July, with a best result of second place to Michael Dunlop in the Senior race. On three occasions at the Ulster Grand Prix, Kneen improved on his fastest lap speed personal best at the Dundrod Circuit – by the end of the meeting, he had recorded a lap speed of , in the second Superbike race; his best race performance came during the Superstock race, where he recorded Mar-Train Racing's first Ulster Grand Prix podium with a third-place finish. He contested the Lightweight and Superbike Classic TT races at the end of August, but failed to finish either race. Kneen finished his season with two podiums at the Gold Cup meeting at Oliver's Mount in Scarborough, North Yorkshire, and an eleventh-place finish in the Macau Grand Prix, having hoped for a podium placing at the event.

paragraph: Section::::Racing history.:DTR and Penz13.com BMW Motorrad Racing.

paragraph: For the second time in less than two years, Kneen found himself out of a ride due to the team not being able to be compete going forward – Mar-Train Racing withdrew from competition in December 2016 after a decade in the sport. It was not until January 2017 that Kneen was able to find a new ride, signing for the Penz13.com BMW Motorrad Racing Team, run by another former TT competitor, Rico Penzkofer. In addition to this deal to ride Superbikes, Kneen signed a deal to ride BMW Superstock and Kawasaki Supertwin machinery for Danny Tomlinson Racing, in March 2017. Kneen made his début with the team at Donington Park in the British National Superstock 1000 cc Championship, scoring a championship point in the weekend's final race. Kneen continued his preparation for the international meetings, by contesting the Enkalon Trophy on Easter Saturday, an Irish short-circuit event at Bishopscourt, outside of Downpatrick. Kneen won the event overall, with a victory and a second-place finish over the two Superbike races. He added two further victories on Easter Monday at the Kirkistown Circuit, in another Irish short-circuit championship meeting.

paragraph: After a best result of eighth place in the Superstock race, at the North West 200, Kneen contested the 300 Curves of Gustav Havel event for the first time, at Hořice in the Czech Republic. He finished eighth once again, this time in the Superbike race. Ahead of the Isle of Man TT, Kneen picked up an additional ride, signing for Jackson Racing to compete in the Supersport TT races, replacing Lee Johnston. In the opening Superbike TT race, Kneen finished fifth despite a time penalty for exceeding the maximum speed limit in pit lane during one of his pit-stops. Following an eighth place in the only Supersport race to be held – the second race was cancelled due to the weather – Kneen recorded a TT-best finish during the Superstock TT. Having started at number 14 on the running order, Kneen started well and moved up to fourth position on the first lap of the race, before reaching the podium positions by the end of the second lap. He held on for the remainder of the race, and as a result, sealed his first rostrum finish at the Isle of Man TT, stating that the podium was "a feeling I can't describe at the moment". Kneen completed the race meeting with twelfth in the Senior TT.

paragraph: Kneen's next race meeting was on foreign soil, competing in the Imatranajo road races at the Imatra Circuit in Finland. Kneen took a victory and a second place in the two Superbike races, with each race finishing in a 1–2–3 for the team. The following week, Kneen competed at the Southern 100, where he recorded his best series of results at the event. In the opening race of the week, Kneen led for most of the race but was passed by Michael Dunlop before the end, as he took a second-place finish along with a lap record for the 600 cc–1000 cc combination race at . On the following two days, Dunlop and Kneen battled over victory once again in the Senior races, with Dunlop prevailing on both occasions by 0.184 seconds, and 0.901 seconds respectively. In the final race of the week, Kneen contested for the win in the Solo Championship race along with Dean Harrison and Dunlop, with Harrison ultimately claiming the honours by 0.131 seconds over Kneen and 0.515 seconds over Dunlop. All three riders set an outright lap record as they crossed the timing line on the final lap, in excess of . Kneen returned to the team after his Tyco BMW replacement rides in November for the Macau Grand Prix, run in conjunction with Paul Bird Motorsport and Paul Poon's Tak Chun Racing. Kneen finished eleventh in the race, which was called after five laps following an accident that resulted in the death of Daniel Hegarty.

paragraph: Section::::Racing history.:Tyco BMW.

paragraph: In August 2017, it was announced that Kneen would compete at the Ulster Grand Prix for the Tyco BMW team. Kneen was signed to replace the injured Ian Hutchinson, following his crash during the Senior TT at the Isle of Man TT. In his first start with the team – in the Dundrod 150 Superbike race – Kneen finished fourth, missing out on a podium by 0.05 seconds behind Bruce Anstey, having run as high as second on the final lap. He qualified on the front row for the 1000 cc races, qualifying second in Superbike and third in Superstock. In the races, Kneen took a third-place finish in Superstock and finishes of fourth and second in the two Superbike races, missing out on victory by just over a tenth of a second in the latter Superbike race, after leading on the final lap. Kneen also took a fifth-place finish in the Classic TT Superbike race at the end of the month, riding a Kawasaki Ninja ZX-7R for Mistral Racing.

paragraph: In November 2017, Kneen was confirmed for a full road season campaign with Tyco BMW in 2018, and in February 2018, it was announced that Kneen would return with Jackson Racing to contest the Supersport races at the international road racing meetings. As he did in 2017, he contested the opening Donington Park meeting of the British National Superstock 1000 cc Championship; in the races, Kneen took finishes of seventh, fourth and tenth. He also contested the second round at Brands Hatch two weeks later, but failed to add any championship points to his tally. From there, Kneen shifted his focus to the roads, with his first meeting of the season being the Tandragee 100. Kneen qualified on the front row for the Superbike races, and finished second to Derek Sheils in the Open race, setting a lap record of for the Orritor Circuit. In the feature race, Kneen was part of a lead quartet that battled it out for race honours, along with Sheils, Derek McGee and Michael Sweeney. Kneen ran at the back of the group for a time, before making his way to the front, taking the lead on the final lap and won a closely fought race with half a second covering the podium positions. At the North West 200, Kneen finished three out of the six races, with a best of sixth place in the Superstock race, his best North West 200 result.

paragraph: Section::::Death.

paragraph: On 30 May 2018, during qualifying practice for the 2018 Isle of Man TT, Kneen died after an accident at the Churchtown section of the circuit. As a result, Kneen became the 147th competitor to be killed at the Mountain Course during an Isle of Man TT meeting, and the 256th competitor when counting other meetings such as the Manx Grand Prix and the Classic TT. The previous evening, Kneen had unofficially recorded his fastest ever lap of the Mountain Course, lapping at during Superbike qualifying.

paragraph: In the immediate aftermath of Kneen's crash, competitor Steve Mercer was seriously injured after colliding with a course-car conveying police officers to officiate at the scene of the fatality. Mercer was one of a number of riders who were proceeding back to the paddock in the reverse-direction after the red flag stoppage, causing organisers to change their protocols, requiring that returning riders must be controlled by travelling marshals to the front and rear. An independent inquiry to probe the circumstances has been arranged by ACU Events, the event organisers.

paragraph: On the day following the crashes, Kneen's father Richard gave his backing to the Tyco BMW team for them to continue in the meeting, while his brother and fellow TT competitor Ryan Kneen completed a lap of honour of the Mountain Course, as a tribute. Tyco BMW elected to continue at the 2018 Isle of Man TT, with the team winning the opening race of the meeting, as Michael Dunlop won the Superbike TT. Dunlop and runner-up Conor Cummins dedicated their race performances to Kneen. Ryan Kneen later received the PokerStars Spirit of the TT Award from the event organisers ahead of the Senior TT.

paragraph: At a preliminary inquest at the Isle of Man Courts of Justice, coroner and High Bailiff John Needham certified that Kneen had died of "multiple injuries" in the crash which had been estimated to have occurred at .

paragraph: A full inquest, initially notified to be heard at a later date, commenced on 28 September 2018, but was further delayed due to a lack of information from the telemetry of Kneen's motorcycle.

paragraph: A verdict of death by misadventure was returned at the conclusion of the inquest in February 2019. Competitor Dean Harrison, who was travelling behind Kneen, estimated his speed at the time of the crash to be between and .

paragraph: Kneen's funeral was held on 15 June at Douglas Crematorium, with mourners requested to wear motorcycle gear or casual clothing.

paragraph: Günther Messner

paragraph: Günther Messner (18 May 1946 – 29 June 1970) was an Italian mountaineer from South Tyrol and the younger brother of Reinhold Messner. Günther climbed some of the most difficult routes in the Alps during the 1960s, and joined the Nanga Parbat-Expedition in 1970 just before the beginning of the expedition due to an opening within the team.

paragraph: Section::::Death on Nanga Parbat.

paragraph: Günther was a member of a 1970 expedition to Nanga Parbat led by Karl Herrligkoffer. Herrligkoffer had already organized six expeditions to Nanga Parbat and was said to be obsessed with the mountain after his half-brother, climber Willy Merkl, along with eight others, died on the peak in 1934.

paragraph: On 26 June 1970 Reinhold, Günther and Gerhard were at Camp 5 watching for a signal rocket from base camp. Blue indicated good weather, red poor. Radio Peshawar reported good weather, so the expedition leader Herrligkoffer fired a rocket, but it exploded red, not blue. Consequently, Reinhold commenced a solo quick-and-light attack without gear shortly after 2 a.m. to avoid the presumed bad weather. Günther and Gerhard were still asleep. Reinhold had a difficult time finding his way up the Merkl Couloir by headlamp but emerged at dawn. At sunrise the next morning, Günther and Gerhard Baur were installing rope to aid Reinhold's return. Baur recounts the story that Günther did something impulsive in that he impatiently dumped the ropes they were fixing and sprinted into and then soloed the difficult Merkl Couloir. Günther and Reinhold reached the summit together late in the afternoon, when Günther started showing signs of exhaustion, possibly due to the effort he made in trying to catch up with Reinhold earlier in the day.

paragraph: What happened next was a matter of controversy for many years. According to Reinhold Messner, the two brothers stayed near the summit overnight in an emergency bivouac (with only space blankets) close to the so-called Merkle-notch (named in honor of Herrligkoffer's half brother) since a night descent seemed impossible on the Rupal face due to Günther's exhaustion and altitude sickness. Reinhold states that Günther worried that reversing down the sheer Rupal Face would be dangerous. He says that Günther suggested a descent via the gentler Diamir Face.

paragraph: The next morning, Reinhold recalls that Günther was delirious. Reinhold says that he started shouting for help at 6 a.m. and about three hours later, he saw Felix Kuen and Peter Scholz in the Merkl Couloir, heading for the summit. The two parties got to within about 100 yards of each other and with difficulty there was some communication. "Are you both OK?" Kuen yelled. "Yes! Everything's OK," Reinhold controversially replied. Unfortunately in a misunderstanding Kuen and Scholz continued to the summit. Reinhold and Günther were then forced to do a second bivouac at the Mummery Rib. By the next morning, the third day without shelter or water, Günther could only stumble slowly along. The multi-day descent had brought the two climbers to the limit of their physical and mental strength, and was to end in tragedy when Günther disappeared at the bottom of the Diamir face, most likely killed by an ice avalanche during the descent. Reinhold, walking ahead and facing exhaustion, severe frostbite and the loss of his brother, continued down along the Diamir valley until he found some local shepherds, who helped him.

paragraph: The expedition members Max von Kienlin and Hans Saler claimed that Reinhold declined the assistance of others when his brother Günther became ill. The main assertion by Hans Saler and Max von Kienlin was that Reinhold's decision to go down the Diamir face was not born of emergency, as suggested by Günther in his fatigue, but a gambit Reinhold had planned and had openly discussed with members of the team. Messner's version of events was that "He (Günther) had to get lower. We couldn't continue along the southwest ridge either, because it is very long and up and down. And we couldn't wait for the others to come, because they couldn't have gotten to us until the following morning, and another day and night at that altitude would have been fatal for Günther. That left only the Diamir Face". Messner was subsequently widely quoted as saying "We had a choice between waiting for death and going out to meet it".

paragraph: Section::::Remains and controversy.

paragraph: For the next 30 years the dispute over the events of this expedition became possibly the most controversial fight in modern-day climbing. The dispute spawned more than a dozen lawsuits, countless attacks and counterattacks, a revenge theory (stemming from a post-expedition love affair between Messner and von Kienlin's wife), and numerous efforts by Messner to find Günther and vindicate himself.

paragraph: In July 2000, climber Hanspeter Eisendle found a human fibula at the base of the Diamir wall of Nanga Parbat. Due to the decomposition of the DNA, it could not be definitively determined at that time whether the bone belonged to Günther Messner - it was possible that the bone could have come from climbers who died on the mountain in 1962. A subsequent analysis at the University of Innsbruck strongly suggested that the owner of the fibula was Günther Messner.

paragraph: On 17 July 2005, three local Pakistani guides found the remains of a climber at an altitude of 4,300 metres on the Diamir face an hour's climb above the Diamir base camp, near where Reinhold had believed Günther was lost. A search of the talus yielded a leather boot entombing a wool-socked foot and clothing which the climbers quickly realized could be the body of Günther Messner. Reinhold trekked to the spot and recognised the boot (a brown leather Lowa Triple Boot) and jacket on the body as those of his brother. Reinhold took the boot with him - with the bones still inside. The expedition doctor, Munich-based anesthesiologist Rudolf Hipp, harvested tissue samples for the DNA testing.

paragraph: On 21 October 2005 scientists at the University of Innsbruck completed a DNA analysis of tissue samples from the remains, and confirmed that the remains were that of Günther. This evidence vindicated the version of events told by Reinhold that Günther was on the west side of the mountain when he was killed, and not on the descent through the Rupal Wall.

paragraph: Despite the undisputed DNA evidence controversy persists. Residual argument revolves largely around whether Günther perished in a fall near the summit, upper or middle part of the Diamir Face, versus toward the bottom, where Reinhold said he'd last seen his brother. The argument is based on glacial movement over a period of 35 years and the location where the remains were found. Saler has asserted that if Günther had died in the lower third of the face (as described by Reinhold) then the remains would have been found much lower than 14,110 feet (where they were reportedly recovered). The existence of a disputed handwritten note described in the 2003 book by von Kienlin, "The Traverse", was allegedly a "confession" recorded by von Kienlin documenting a conversation between Reinhold and von Kienlin in a motel room in Gilgit, Pakistan, before they both returned home. The note says that "I lost Günther" and "For hours I was up there yelling for him. I don't know why, but he couldn't hear me. He was doing very badly. He didn't make it. Maybe he fell."

paragraph: Section::::Funeral.

paragraph: On 8 September 2005, the remains were burned at the foot of Nanga Parbat on a pyre in Tibetan tradition. Also borrowing from Tibetan tradition, Reinhold and his expedition team of 14 trekkers and two journalists built a chorten, a square-shaped stack of stones, as a monument. The participants sang "yelo Lak, the gods were merciful," and threw rice into the air.

paragraph: Maharana Pratap

paragraph: Pratap Singh I () (9 May 1540 – 19 January 1597) popularly known as Maharana Pratap, was the 13th king of Mewar, a region in north-western India in the present day state of Rajasthan.

paragraph: Section::::Early life and accession.

paragraph: Maharana Pratap was born in a Rajput family. He was born to Udai Singh II and Jaiwanta Bai. His younger brothers were Shakti Singh, Vikram Singh and Jagmal Singh. Pratap also had 2 stepsisters: Chand Kanwar and Man Kanwar. He was married to Ajabde Punwar of Bijolia. He belonged to the Royal Family of Mewar.

paragraph: After the death of Udai Singh in 1572, Rani Dheer Bai wanted her son Jagmal to succeed him but senior courtiers preferred Pratap, as the eldest son, to be their king. The desire of the nobles prevailed.

paragraph: Section::::Battle of Haldighati.

paragraph: The bloody Siege of Chittorgarh in 1568 had led to the loss of the fertile eastern belt of Mewar to the Mughals. However, the rest of the wooded and hilly kingdom was still under the control of the Rana. The Mughal emperor Akbar was intent on securing a stable route to Gujarat through Mewar; when Pratap Singh was crowned king (Rana) in 1572, Akbar sent a number of envoys entreating the Rana to become a vassal like many other Rajput leaders in the region. When the Rana refused to personally submit to Akbar, war became inevitable.

paragraph: The Battle of Haldighati was fought on 18 June 1576 between Maharana Pratap and Akbar's forces led by Man Singh I of Amer. The Mughals were victorious and inflicted significant casualties among the Mewaris but failed to capture Maharana. The site of the battle was a narrow mountain pass at Haldighati near Gogunda, modern day Rajsamand in Rajasthan. Maharana Pratap fielded a force of around 3000 cavalry and 400 Bhil archers. The Mughals were led by Man Singh of Amber, who commanded an army numbering around 5000-10,000 men. After a fierce battle lasting more than six hours, Maharana found himself wounded and the day lost. The mughal were unable to capture him. He managed to escape to the hills and lived to fight another day.

paragraph: Haldighati was a futile victory for the Mughals, as they were unable to capture Maharana Pratap, or any of his close family members in Udaipur. As soon as the empire's focus shifted north-west, Pratap and his army came out of hiding and recaptured the western regions of his dominion.

paragraph: Section::::Resurgence.

paragraph: Mughal pressure on Mewar relaxed after 1579 following rebellions in Bengal and Bihar and Mirza Hakim's incursion into the Punjab. In 1582, Maharana Pratap attacked and occupied the Mughal post at Dewair (or Dawer). In 1585, Akbar moved to Lahore and remained there for the next twelve years watching the situation in the north-west. No major Mughal expedition was sent to Mewar during this period. Taking advantage of the situation, Pratap recovered Western Mewar including Kumbhalgarh, Udaipur and Gogunda. During this period, he also built a new capital, Chavand, near modern Dungarpur.

paragraph: Section::::Death and legacy.

paragraph: Reportedly, Pratap died of injuries sustained in a hunting accident at Chavandon 19 January 1597, aged 56. He was succeeded by his eldest son, Amar Singh I.

paragraph: Clotilde Rullaud

paragraph: Clotilde Rullaud is a French singer, songwriter and composer.

paragraph: Section::::Biography.

paragraph: Clotilde began studying flute and singing at the conservatoire at the age of five.

paragraph: Clotilde went on to complete her studies in jazz and improvised music at the IACP and EDIM schools. She also explored world music vocal techniques and developed an original approach to the voice as a multifaceted and narrative instrument.

paragraph: In 2007, Clotilde released the Live au 7 Lézards album, on which she was accompanied by guitarist Hugo Lippi. This self-produced album was acclaimed by Jazzman, Jazzmag and Jazzhot magazines.

paragraph: In 2008, Clotilde started a new and ambitious project, In Extremis, with Olivier Hutman (piano), Dano Haider (seven-string guitar) and Antoine Paganotti (drums). Her concept was a bass-less quartet, inspired by various musical cultures including improvisation, pop and world music, mainly from Africa and South Africa. Released in 2011, this album was ranked No. 5 on The Sunday Times list of the Top Ten Jazz Albums of the Year, and received great reviews particularly from TÉLÉRAMA and France Musique.

paragraph: Since 2010, Clotilde has developed a fruitful collaboration with bandonéonist and composer Tristan Macé. Their first project was Le Diable à froid (2010), a trio with horn-player Albin Lebossé, revolving around the musical and literary styles of surrealism, Dadaism and tango. Next came Tristan Macé’s jazz opera Etrangement Bleu (2011). Their most recent project is Fleurs Invincibles – Invincible Flowers (2012), also involving Emmanuel Bex (piano/organ), Yann Cléry (flutes), Laurent Salzard (bass) and Gautier Garrigue (drums). This bilingual project is based on original compositions by Tristan Macé, and inspired by texts from American poets of the Beat Generation, and black French poets of the 40s and 50s.

paragraph: Section::::Style.

paragraph: Clotilde Rullaud’s artistic approach stands at the crossroad of various musical influences. She blends together Latin music (genre), African, pop and jazz sounds, attesting to the wonderful melting pot that is jazz. Poetry and the inner music of words also hold a key place in her artistic world. Clotilde aims above all to challenge what can be done with song and with the voice in order to reach her full expression, escaping from standard configurations to express her love for freedom.

paragraph: Trilochan Pokhrel (died 1969) was the first Sikkimese freedom fighter of Nepali (Gorkha) origin. In Sikkim and North Bengal, Pokhrel is popularly called 'Gandhi Pokhrel'.

paragraph: Section::::Early life.

paragraph: Pokhrel was born at Tareythang Busty, in East Sikkim. Pokhrel was highly influenced by the movements of Mahatma Gandhi, which were based on the fundamental principles of peace and non violence. He was actively involved in Gandhi's movements, such as the Non-Cooperation Movement, the Civil Disobedience Movement and the Quit India Movement. Mr. Pokherl had immense faith in the teaching of simple life led by Mahatma Gandhi. Pokhrel is known for propagating the concept of Swadeshi among the Sikkimese peasantry. Late Pokhrel was the first Sikkimese freedom fighter who fought against the British hegemony. Actually, Sikkim was protectorate state of British. In the year 1861 with the signature of the Treaty of Tumlong effectively made Sikkim a de facto protectorate of the British India. This had a huge impact on Sikkim's Sovereignty. The appointment of John Claude White, a Political officer established new landholdings in Sikkim. Direct or Indirect influence of Britishers in Sikkim made Trilochan Pokhrel to join mainstream Indian Freedom Moment.

paragraph: Windeby I

paragraph: Windeby I is the name given to the bog body found preserved in a peat bog near Windeby, Northern Germany, in 1952. Until recently, the body was also called the "Windeby Girl", since an archeologist believed it to be the body of a 14-year-old girl, because of its slight build. Prof. Heather Gill-Robinson, a Canadian anthropologist and pathologist, used DNA testing to show the body was actually that of a sixteen-year-old boy. The body has been radiocarbon-dated to between 41 BCE and 118 CE.

paragraph: Section::::History.

paragraph: The body was discovered by commercial peat cutters in 1952, and is now on display at The Landesmuseum at the Schloß Gottorf in Schleswig, Germany. Unfortunately, by the time the body was noticed by the peat cutters, and before the peat-cutting machinery could be shut down, a hand, a foot, and a leg had been severed from the body. The body had been very well preserved by the peat, and despite this damage it is still an important archaeological discovery. Shortly after the discovery of Windeby I, another bog body (an adult male) was found nearby and dubbed Windeby II.

paragraph: Section::::Description.

paragraph: The body appears to have a half-shaven head and a woollen blindfold tied across the eyes. Recent examinations have however established that the hair over the half of the scalp was not shaven, but had rather decomposed due to being exposed to oxygen a little longer than the rest of the body. The "blindfold" is in fact a woollen band, made using the sprang technique, that was probably used to tie back the boy’s shoulder-length hair and which had slipped down over his face after death. Evidence from the body suggests that the boy had been killed, possibly as a sacrifice or a punishment. This idea is supported by the observation that the body was discovered beneath rocks and branches, which were presumably used to hold the body down.
