paragraph: Michael Spivak

paragraph: Michael David Spivak (born May 25, 1940) is an American mathematician specializing in differential geometry, an expositor of mathematics, and the founder of Publish-or-Perish Press. Spivak is the author of the five-volume "A Comprehensive Introduction to Differential Geometry". In 1964 Spivak received a Ph.D. from Princeton University under the supervision of John Milnor. In 1985 Spivak received the Leroy P. Steele Prize.

paragraph: Spivak was born in Queens, New York.

paragraph: Spivak has lectured on elementary physics. Spivak's most recent book, "Physics for Mathematicians: Mechanics I", which contains the material that these lectures stemmed from and more, was published on December 6, 2010. Spivak is also the designer of the MathTime Professional 2 fonts (which are widely used in academic publishing) and the creator of "Science International".

paragraph: Spivak coined Spivak pronouns, a set of English gender-neutral pronouns.

paragraph: Section::::Writing.

paragraph: Among Spivak's pedagogical works, his five-volume magnum opus "A Comprehensive Introduction to Differential Geometry" (Publish or Perish Inc., 1970; 2nd ed., 1979; 3rd ed., 1999, revised 2005) is among his most influential and celebrated. The distinctive pedagogical aim of the work, as stated in its preface, was to elucidate for graduate students the often obscure relationship between classical differential geometry—geometrically intuitive but imprecise—and its modern counterpart, replete with precise but unintuitive algebraic definitions. On several occasions, most prominently in "Volume 2", Spivak "translates" the classical language that Gauss or Riemann would be familiar with to the abstract language that a modern differential geometer might use. The Leroy P. Steele Prize was awarded to Spivak in 1985 for his authorship of the work.

paragraph: Spivak has also authored several well-known undergraduate textbooks. Among them, his text "Calculus" (W. A. Benjamin Inc., 1967; Publish or Perish, 4th ed., 2008) takes a rigorous and theoretical approach to introductory calculus and includes proofs of many theorems taken on faith in most other introductory textbooks. Spivak acknowledges in the preface that others might consider this textbook to be an introduction to mathematical analysis rather than a calculus book. Another of his well-known textbooks is "Calculus on Manifolds" (W. A. Benjamin Inc., 1965; Addison-Wesley, revised edition, 1968), a concise (146 pp.) but rigorous and modern treatment of multivariable calculus accessible to advanced undergraduates.

paragraph: Spivak has also written "The Joy of TeX: A Gourmet Guide to Typesetting With the AMS-TeX Macro Package" and "The Hitchhiker's Guide to Calculus". The book "Morse Theory", by John Milnor, was based on lecture notes by Spivak and Robert Wells (as mentioned on the cover page of the booklet).

paragraph: John W. Stephens

paragraph: John W. Stephens (October 13, 1834 – May 21, 1870) was a state senator from North Carolina. He was stabbed and garroted by the Ku Klux Klan on May 21, 1870.

paragraph: Section::::Personal life and early career.

paragraph: Born John Walter Stephens near Bruce's Crossroads (now Summerfield) in Guilford County, North Carolina, he was the oldest child of Absalom Stephens and his wife, Letitia. Stephens had four siblings, including three brothers and a sister.

paragraph: His family moved to Rockingham County when Stephens was still young, living first in Wentworth, the county seat, and then in Leaksville. Stephens' father, a tailor by trade, died in 1848, while the family was living in Leaksville.

paragraph: Stephens married his first wife, Nannie Walters, in 1857. Only two years later, she died, leaving Stephens a widower, and the single father of an infant daughter, Nannie. Living in a Wentworth hotel in 1860, he married Martha Frances Groom. From this marriage, his daughter Ella was born.

paragraph: Said to have been a member of the Methodist Church at Wentworth, Stephens also served for a time as an agent for the American Bible and Tract Society though he was barely literate. Soon after, he became a tobacco trader, moving to York, South Carolina.

paragraph: Section::::Civil War.

paragraph: Early on in the American Civil War, Stephens was based in Greensboro, North Carolina. He served the Confederacy by commandeering horses for the Confederate army. Later, he moved back to Wentworth, and worked as what was known as an "impressment agent", mustering draftees for the Confederate army. Toward the end of the war, Stephens signed up for the armed forces, but it is unclear whether he actually saw action during this time.

paragraph: Section::::Post-war.

paragraph: At the conclusion of the war, Stephens returned to Wentworth, and once more worked as a tobacco trader. It was during this time that the incident that would lead his political enemies to refer to him as "Chicken Stephens" occurred. Accounts of this incident vary greatly, even amongst historians. Much of the variance apparently depends upon the view the historian takes regarding Stephens' later political actions.

paragraph: In all versions of the story, Stephens shoots and kills chickens on his own property. The accounts diverge as to Stephens' motives in shooting the chickens. One account states that it was a simple misunderstanding, and that Stephens had thought the wayward chickens were his own. In his history of North Carolina, Professor William Powell presents a picture of Stephens as a vindictive man, who killed the chickens almost purely out of spite or greed.

paragraph: The stories converge again when dealing with what happened after Stephens shot the chickens. All accounts have Wentworth merchant and postmaster Thomas Anderson Ratliffe, the owner of the chickens, complaining to the sheriff, and Stephens spent a night in jail. Upon release, he confronted Ratliffe his next-door neighbor, sporting a seven-shot revolver. During the altercation, the gun was discharged (whether intentionally or accidentally is again a matter where accounts vary), and two bystanders were wounded. Records do not indicate that Stephens ever spent further time in jail regarding this matter, but the dismissive nickname by which his enemies would refer to him the rest of his life and even to this day was established then and there at Wentworth.

paragraph: Section::::Political career.

paragraph: Due to his unpopularity in Wentworth Stephens moved to the adjacent Caswell County seat Yanceyville in 1866, continuing to work as a tobacco trader, and also beginning to serve as an agent for the Freedmen's Bureau. He became a member of the Republican Party, as well as the Union League. As part of these organizations, he helped to politically organize the majority black population. These activities made many enemies for him amongst the conservative white Democrats of the state and especially so in Caswell County.

paragraph: Due in large part to his popularity amongst the black population, Stephens was elected to the North Carolina Senate in 1868, displacing the venerable sitting senator Bedford Brown, who was quite popular among the white community. This further inflamed the already significant hostility that the local white population of Caswell County felt for him. During this time, Stephens became nearly completely ostracized socially by and from the white community even to the extent that he was supposedly expelled from the Yanceyville Methodist Church. Many unsubstantiated rumors were circulated amongst the white population regarding his personal life, including claims (likely true) that he was a spy for Governor  William W. Holden, attempted to bribe local citizens, and had burnt the crops and barns of fellow citizens loyal to the Confederacy. His political opponents, consisting mainly of white conservative Democrats, claimed Stephens had murdered his own mother who did indeed die under the most "unusual circumstances." However, none of these claims ever resulted in any form of legal action against Stephens, which seemed to mitigate against the veracity of such claims at least among his supporters if no one else.

paragraph: Due to threats against his life raised during this period, Stephens was known to always be well armed. Additionally, it was said that he took out a quite substantial life insurance policy (worth a reported $10,000) on himself.

paragraph: Section::::Assassination by the Ku Klux Klan.

paragraph: Stephens' political activities greatly angered the Ku Klux Klan in Caswell County. The Klan held a "trial" "in absentia" of Stephens, in which he was convicted and a death sentence verdict was rendered. Claims were made by Klan members that Stephens was given a "vigorous defense", though no evidence in this regard has ever been proffered. It was under the auspices of this "verdict" that the assassination of May 21, 1870 was carried out.

paragraph: According to news accounts from around that time, the assassination was carried out in a backroom of the Yanceyville courthouse. Stephens was in attendance at a Democratic gathering, in an attempt to convince a prominent Democrat to run for Sheriff as a Republican. The man he was attempting to sway signaled to him from the floor of the hall, and Stephens followed him downstairs. Knowing Stephens' reputation for being quite well armed, his Klan assassins had assembled between eight and twelve men who lay in wait in a darkened room on the Caswell County Courthouse's first floor. After a search by family and friends Stephens' lifeless body was discovered in the first floor room the following day.

paragraph: Section::::Legacy.

paragraph: The legacy of the life lived by John Stephens is quite complicated. William Powell is not alone in his negative characterization of Stephens. Much local folk history characterizes Stephens as, at best, a misguided miscreant, and at worst a criminally craven opportunist. What is clear from all accounts is that Stephens did work extensively with the Freedmen's Bureau and the Union League. It is such associations – as well as his political organization of the black population – that cause the wide divergence in popular opinion surrounding his legacy.

paragraph: Those who view him as little more than an opportunist often point out that he only joined the above organizations after the South was defeated, and the political winds shifted. During the War, however, he had worked in support of the Confederacy, leading modern historians like Phillips to take a more cynical view of his later support of the freedmen and the Union League. A significant number of former Confederates opted to join the Republican Party after the war, and some, such as James Longstreet and James L. Alcorn became "scalawags" at least partly in the interest of national reconciliation.

paragraph: The dichotomy with which historians view Stephens aside, there is no question that the black population of the time revered him and Sen. Stephens was murdered in the basement of a courthouse by the Klan for his political views and assisting freed slaves.

paragraph: No likeness of Stephens is known to exist. An engraving said to be that of Stephens and published in a few local and state histories in the late twentieth century has been proven by family members in recent years to be that of someone else.

paragraph: Phil Price (sculptor)

paragraph: Phil Price (born 1965) is a New Zealand-born sculptor. He is globally recognised as being the most highly regarded kinetic sculptor of his generation, and has singlehandedly developed the genre of kinetic sculpture more than any artist in the last 50 years. His work receives enormous support from both the public and critics, with his major outdoor works being viewed as "destination sculptures", with large numbers of visitors enticed by the unique and mesmerising kinetic displays.

paragraph: Price has evolved his practice using cutting edge materials, incorporating highly refined engineering in conjunction with elegant design. His work is primarily inspired by the natural world.

paragraph: Price was educated in Christchurch majoring in sculpture at the University of Canterbury School of Fine Arts.

paragraph: Examples of Price's work include "Zephyrometer" and "Protoplasm" in Wellington, and "Cytoplasm" in Auckland. Price's sculpture Tree of Life is situated at McClelland Gallery Langwarrin. In 2013 Price's "Snake" was acquired by the City of Aarhus, where it is currently installed in the public square Mølleparken.

paragraph: Price is currently completing major projects in the US, Australia, New Zealand, and Europe.

paragraph: Johanna von Isser Großrubatscher

paragraph: Johanna von Isser Großrubatscher (27 December 1802 - 25 May 1880), identified in one source as "the lady who drew castles"," was an Austrian graphic artist and writer.

paragraph: Section::::Life.

paragraph: Johanna Maximiliana Großrubatscher was born at , a small village that had grown up around just outside Brixen/Bressanone, about 40 kilometres (25 mi) north of Bolzano. Caspar Großrubatscher, her father, was a Pfleger (senior public administrator) originally from nearby Ladinia. She grew up in Merano where she was taught by the artists J. Kapeller and Makart, an uncle of the better remembered Vienna artist Hans Makart.

paragraph: By the time she was 21 Johanna Großrubatscher had already made a name for herself as a gifted and patriotic artist, producing meticulously detailed pictures of some of the many castles in the surrounding Merano and the adjacent Vinschgau region. In 1823 the newly founded Innsbruck-based Association of Patriotic Museums (""Verein des vaterländischen Museums"" / Ferdinandeum) commissioned her to produce "an accurate depiction" of the main gates at the Tyrol and . In the Wars of Liberation (against Napoleon) Joseph Hormayr had chosen the main keep of the Tyrol Castle as the "National sanctuary" (""Heiligtum des Landes“ ""). The images should be sufficiently detailed to be useful to students of medieval arts, and also to facilitate analysis and interpretation of old solutions to technical and construction challenges.

paragraph: In 1828 she married Johann Isser von Gaudententhurn. He was employed as a Landrichter (another form of government official). His work involved postings to a succession of district administrative centres in the southern part of the Tirol. The couple made their home successively in Riva (1828), Lavis (1831), Stenico (1832), Pergine (1834) and finally, in 1835, returning to Cavalese (where they had previously been posted briefly back in 1830). Johanna became the mother to seven recorded children. She also found time to continue with her art, producing drawings of castles across the Tirol, from the Inn valley to the north to the Lake Garda area in the south, also taking in neighbouring areas such as Liechtenstein, the Vorarlberg and parts of what has subsequently become known as Baden-Württemberg. In 1850, in connection with her husband's work, the family moved to Innsbruck, which is where they lived till Johann's death in 1863.

paragraph: Most of Johanna's pictures ended up in the collections of the Austrian National Library in Vienna and of the Tyrolean State Museum (Ferdinandeum) in Innsbruck. They are still regarded as important sources for research on castles in the area. They are valued for their attention to detail and are also helpful in "folklore research" since the artist frequently included small "genre scenes", generally showing working people, which provide contemporary context for the overall images. In particular, the images present the artistic mood of those times, characterized by a certain empathy with nature and a yearning for a return to (a romanticised vision of) the middle ages.

paragraph: One person who came across Johanna von Isser's collection of approximately 400 views of mountains and castles was the London artist-businessman Thomas Allom. He used her paintings as templates for paintings of his own and, in particular, for steel engravings. Prints from the steel engravings were published by Allom in Fleet Street, London, in a slim volume which also contained texts from Joseph Hormayr (1782-1848). As a result Johanna von Isser acquired an international reputation for her views of mountains and castles. As well as Thomas Allom, there were other English artists who used Johanna Großrubatscher's as templates. These included Samuel Lacey, T. Barbor, W. Taylor and H. Winkles. There were others who took Thomas Allom's derivative works as their templates.

paragraph: After her husband died some sources state that she relocated to Salzburg while others state that she moved in with the family of her daughter Alma who had married Hermann Reinhart von Thurnfels und Ferklehnen and lived at Varna di Bressanone. There is agreement that she later moved back to Innsbruck which is where she lived for some years until her death there.

paragraph: Sigurd Ring

paragraph: Sigurd Ring (Old Norse: "Sigurðr hringr" (born c. 750 AD) was a legendary Norse king mentioned in many old Scandinavian sagas. According to "Bósa saga ok Herrauds", there was once a saga on Sigurd Ring, but this saga is now lost. In the old sources, he is notable for winning the Battle of the Brávellir against Harald Wartooth and for being the father of Ragnar Lodbrok.

paragraph: Section::::"Hervarar saga".

paragraph: The "Hervarar saga" tells that when Valdar died, his son Randver became the king of Sweden, while Harald Wartooth became the king of Denmark. Then Harald conquered all of his grandfather Ivar Vidfamne's territory. After Randver's death, his son Sigurd Ring became the king of Sweden, presumably as the subking of Harald. Sigurd Ring and Harald fought the Battle of the Brávellir (Bråvalla) on the plains of Östergötland where Harald and many of his men died. Sigurd ruled Sweden and Denmark until his death and was succeeded by his son Ragnar Lodbrok. Harald Wartooth's son Eysteinn Beli ruled Sweden as a jarl until he was killed by the sons of Ragnar Lodbrok.

paragraph: Section::::"Sögubrot af nokkrum fornkonungum".

paragraph: In "Sögubrot af nokkrum fornkonungum", Sigurd is the paternal nephew of the Danish king Harald Wartooth, and presumably (the part of "Sögubrot" where this would have been narrated expressly has not been preserved) the son of Randver, who in his turn is the son of Harald's mother Auðr the Deep-Minded and her husband king Raðbarðr of Gardariki. Harald Wartooth was beginning to feel old, so he made Sigurd the king of Sweden and Västergötland. Sigurd beat his uncle at the colossal Battle of Bråvalla, and became the ruler of Denmark as well. He made a shieldmaiden the ruler of Denmark (cf. "Chronicon Lethrense", below).

paragraph: Sigurd married Alfhild, the daughter of king Alf of Álfheimr and their son was Ragnar Lodbrok. As Sigurd grew old, distant parts of his realm began to secede, and it is told how he lost territory in England due to old age. One day, he was in Västergötland and was visited by his brothers-in-law, the sons of Ragnar. They asked him to join them in attacking king Eysteinn of Vestfold in Norway. In Vestfold, there were great blóts held at Skiringssal. Unfortunately, "Sögubrot" (meaning the "fragment") ends there. However, the "Skjöldunga saga" is believed to be the original story on which "Sögubrot" is based and it continues the story (see below).

paragraph: Section::::"Skjöldunga saga".

paragraph: The "Skjöldunga saga" tells that Sigurd Hring was married to Alfhild, the daughter of king Alf of Alfheim, and their son was Ragnar Lodbrok. Unfortunately, Alfhild died. When Sigurd Hring was an old man, he came to Skiringssal to take part in the great blóts. There he spotted a very beautiful girl named Alfsol, and she was the daughter of King Alf of Vendel (Vendel). The girl's two brothers refused to allow Sigurd to marry her. Sigurd fought with the brothers and killed them, but their sister had been given poison by her brothers so that Sigurd could never have her. When her corpse was carried to Sigurd, he went aboard a large ship where he placed Alvsol and her brothers. Then, he steered the ship with full sails out on the sea, as the ship burnt.

paragraph: Ragnar Lodbrok succeeded his father, but put a subking on the throne of Sweden, king Eysteinn Beli, who later was killed by Ragnar's sons.

paragraph: Section::::"Gesta Danorum".

paragraph: According to "Gesta Danorum" (book 7), by Saxo Grammaticus, Hring was the son of the Danish king Randver and the maternal nephew of the Danish king Harald Wartooth. His father Ingjald had raped the sister of Harald, but the latter did not mind in order preserve the friendship with Ingjald. Ring fought with Harald Wartooth in the Battle of the Brávellir and became the king of Denmark as well. Saxo then describes the different subkings and their adventures. In book 9, he returns to Sigurd Hring as "Siward, surnamed Hring", the father of Ragnar Lodbrok.

paragraph: Section::::Other sources.

paragraph: According to "Hversu Noregr byggdist", Sigurd was the son of Randver, the brother of Harald Wartooth. Randver and Harald were the sons of Hrærekr slöngvanbaugi.

paragraph: In the part of the "Heimskringla" called the "Saga of Harald Fairhair", Harald Fairhair learns that the Swedish king Erik Eymundsson had enlarged Sweden westwards, until it reached the same extent as it had during king Sigurd Hring and his son Ragnar Lodbrok. This included Romerike, Westfold all the way to Grenmar, and Vingulmark.

paragraph: In "Ragnar Lodbrok's saga", it is mentioned that Sigurd Hring and Harald Wartooth fought in the Battle of the Brávellir and that Harald fell. After the battle Sigurd Hring was the king of Denmark, and he was the father of Ragnar Lodbrok.

paragraph: "Ragnarssona þáttr" only states that Ring was the king of Sweden and Denmark, and the father of Ragnar Lodbrok.

paragraph: In "Bósa saga ok Herrauds", it is only said that Sigurd Hring, the father of Ragnar Lodbrok fought with Harald Wartooth at the Battle of the Brávellir where Harald died. It adds that there was a saga on Sigurd Hring (which today no longer exists).

paragraph: According to the "Chronicon Lethrense", Harald Wartooth had made all the countries down to the Mediterranean pay tribute. However, when he went to Sweden to demand tribute, the Swedish king Ring met him at the Battle of the Brávellir, and Harald lost and died. Hring made a shieldmaiden the ruler of Denmark (cf. "Sögubrot af nokkrum fornkonungum", above).

paragraph: "Gríms saga loðinkinna" and the younger version of "Orvar-Odd's saga" only mention Sigurd Hring in a few lines relating to the Battle of the Brávellir with Harald Wartooth.

paragraph: In "Norna-Gests þáttr", it is said that Sigurd Hring was very old when Sigurd's sons-in-law, the sons of Gandalf, asked him to help them fight against Sigurd Fafnisbani and the Gjukungs. Sigurd Hring could not help them in person, as he was busy fighting against ravaging Curonians and "Kœnir".

paragraph: Section::::Historical origins.

paragraph: It has been suggested that a report of a struggle for the Danish crown may have given rise to the legend of Sigurd Hring. Following the death of Hemming in 812, his brother or cousin Sigifrid and Anulo (Latin for Ring, but perhaps originally representing Old Norse Anleifr), nephew or grandson of an earlier king Harald, fought a battle for the succession in which both were killed. This struggle appears to be reflected in the legendary Battle of the Brávellir, fought by Sigurd Hring, nephew of Harald Wartooth.

paragraph: Section::::In popular culture.

paragraph: Sigurd Hring appears as a playable leader of pagan Sweden in the "Charlemagne" start date in "Crusader Kings II", despite being semi-legendary and a nebulous .

paragraph: Yoon Dae-nyeong

paragraph: Yoon Dae-nyeong (born 1962) () is a South Korean writer.

paragraph: Section::::Life.

paragraph: Yoon Dae-nyeong was born in 1962 in Yesan, South Chungcheong Province. He graduated from Dankook University with a degree in French Language and Literature. He admitted, however, that in his college days he attended more Korean literature classes than French ones. His early boyhood was spent with his grandparents before he joined his parents at the age of eight. Yoon's family was semi-nomadic and he lived in a variety of places, but always in poverty. His habit of reading seems to have been established very early and by the time he attended junior high school, he devoured all the books that he could find around him.

paragraph: Yoon wrote his first story as a senior high school student. During that year he continued writing, and was eager to win the entry prize at spring literary contests. In 1988, while he was a senior, his novel, "A Circle," won the second best award at the spring literary contest sponsored by Daejeon Ilbo.

paragraph: Section::::Work.

paragraph: Yoon's first short story, "Circle" (Won), was published in Daejeon News (Daejeon Ilbo) in 1988 and republished in Monthly Literature & Thought (문학사상) in 1990. With his following works, "My Mother’s Forest" (Eomma ui sup), "Sweetfish Memorandum" (은어銀魚 낚시 통신通信 Euno naksi tongsin, aka Silverfish Memorandum), "A Memorandum: Miari, 9 January 1993" (1/9/93 미아리 통신 Miari tongsin), and "Once in a While, a Cow Visits a Motel" (Soneun yeogwan euro deuleo onda gakkeum), Yoon Daenyeong established a reputation as a writer who captures the ethos and sensibilities of Korean people during the 1990s.

paragraph: Yoon Dae-nyeong made his major literary debut in 1990 as the winner of the New Writer Award from the monthly Monthly Literature & Thought (문학사상). This was the first of many awards including Today's Young Artist Award (1994), Yi Sang Literary Award (1996), Modern Literature Prize (1998), and Yi Hyo-seok Literary Award (2003). Yun has written extensively: short story collections "Sweetfish Fishing Reports", "Behold the Southern Stairs", "Many Stars Drifted to One Place", and "There Walks Someone"; and essay collections including; "Things I Want to Tell Her" and "Mother’s Spoon and Chopsticks"; and novels "I Went to See an Old Movie", "Miran - A Traveler in the Snow", "Between Heaven and Earth", and "Why Did the Tiger Go to the Sea?"

He developed the library and also added German, French, and books in other foreign languages to his stock. He then ... began publishing the well-known series of Ahn's and Ollendorf's readers and grammars, and other text-books." The business operated from an office on Summer Street (ca.1856) Winter Street (ca.1857-1861) School Street (ca.1864-1865) and Bromfield Street (ca.1870).

paragraph: He supported the Free Soil party; the 20th Massachusetts Volunteer Infantry during the Civil War; and the National Liberal League. He belonged to the American Association for the Promotion of Social Science. In 1889 "S.R. Urbino and 30 others" presented a petition to the Massachusetts House of Representatives asking for "legislation providing that one-third of the members of school committees in cities and towns shall be women."

paragraph: Albert Dupuis

paragraph: Albert Dupuis (1 March 1877 – 19 September 1967) was a Belgian composer.

paragraph: Section::::Biography.

paragraph: Albert Dupuis was born in Verviers on 1 March 1877.

paragraph: The son of a music teacher, Dupuis studied the finesses of the violin, the piano and the flute from the age of 8, at the conservatory in his hometown, Verviers, where Guillaume Lekeu, composer of classical music, and Henri Vieuxtemps, composer and violinist, had also taken residence. Orphaned at age 15, he worked as a tutor at the Grand Theatre of Verviers while pursuing his studies, including from Francis Duyzings for harmony. As he was a brilliant and precocious student, he composed his first comic opera already at the age of 18.

paragraph: Noticed by the French composer and teacher Vincent d'Indy in 1897, Dupuis was invited to work with him at the Schola Cantorum in Paris. He was for a time the coach of the choir of Saint-Eustache, but in 1900 he returned to Verviers to marry. In 1903 he won the Prix de Rome Belgium (not to be confused with the French Prix de Rome) with his cantata "La Chanson d'Halewyn" and on 5 March his opera "Jean-Michel" premiered at La Monnaie, the Royal Theatre of the Mint in Brussels..

paragraph: Appointed conductor of the Theatre of Ghent in 1905, he withdrew when the season was completed, to devote himself to composition. But when in 1907 the council of Verviers offered him the post of director at the conservatory, he accepted and held it until his retirement in 1947.

paragraph: During his lifetime, his works met with some success in Brussels and in the major cities in Belgium (particularly in Flanders) and France. In particular his opera "La Passion", played more than 150 times at La Monnaie and he directed it several times. He also enjoyed the esteem of his peers, as Eugene Ysaÿe, dedicated of several of his works and who made his works known in the United States.

paragraph: Section::::Biography.:Legacy.

paragraph: Two of Dupuis' daughters, Gislène (cello) and Irene (violin), were eminent concert musicians. A street is named after him in the village of Stembert.

paragraph: Section::::Characteristics of his works.

paragraph: He became a follower of the School of César Franck through his instructor d' Indy. Nevertheless, his style approaches much de style of Gabriel Fauré and his music can be styled as impressionistic. He was essentially an opera composer (having composed fifteen), all his works are imbued with a lyrical feeling.

paragraph: Section::::Playing career.

paragraph: Sloan played junior hockey for the Calgary Royals of the Alberta Junior Hockey League and Kamloops Blazers of the Western Hockey League. Though undrafted, he was signed by the Columbus Blue Jackets and assigned to the Syracuse Crunch of the American Hockey League at the end of the 2001–02 season. Sloan spent the next seven seasons bouncing around the minors, playing for the Dayton Bombers and Las Vegas Wranglers of the ECHL, as well as the AHL's Manitoba Moose and Hershey Bears. In 2006, Sloan and the Bears won the Calder Cup championship.

paragraph: Sloan was recalled by the Washington Capitals early in the 2008–09 season, where he made his National Hockey League debut for the Capitals in his hometown of Calgary against the Flames on October 21, 2008. Sloan made an immediate impact for the Capitals, levelling Calgary's Daymond Langkow with a large bodycheck, and earning the Capitals a nine-minute powerplay in the aftermath. He scored his first NHL goal on October 25 against Marty Turco of the Dallas Stars.

paragraph: Sloan was sent down to Hershey on January 11, 2009 as several injured Capitals returned to action. He was recalled on May 3, 2009 during the Capitals' playoff series with Pittsburgh along with Karl Alzner and recorded an assist in Game 2 of the series the following night.

paragraph: On June 27, 2011, the Capitals placed him on waivers, with the possible intention of buying out his contract. A month later on July 28, Sloan was signed as a free agent by the Nashville Predators on a one-year deal.

paragraph: On July 6, 2012, Sloan signed a one-year, two-way contract with the Dallas Stars. The deal is worth $600,000 when Sloan plays for the Stars, and $105,000 when he plays for the Stars’ AHL affiliate, the Texas Stars.

paragraph: Section::::Personal life.

paragraph: Sloan's sister, Tara, was a five-time Canadian national swimming champion and Canadian record holder who was set to compete at the swimming trials for the 2000 Summer Olympics when she was killed in a roll-over accident near Medicine Hat, Alberta in March 2000. Tyler used the dedication his sister showed in attempting to win a spot on the Canadian Olympic team as inspiration in his own hockey career. His sister's journal of her attempts to qualify for the Olympics motivated Tyler: "Swimmers are tremendous athletes. Their work ethic is unparalleled. I saw what it took for her to get there. That was important because I didn't realize what it took to get to this level," he told "The Globe and Mail" newspaper.

paragraph: Charles Ray (artist)

paragraph: Charles Ray (born 1953) is a Los Angeles-based American sculptor. He is known for his strange and enigmatic sculptures that draw the viewer's perceptual judgments into question in jarring and unexpected ways. Christopher Knight in the "Los Angeles Times" wrote that Ray's "career as an artist…is easily among the most important of the last twenty years."

paragraph: Charles Ray does not complete any of his art work, the last major pieces have been completed by Quarra Stone Company LLC in Madison, Wisconsin.

paragraph: Section::::Early life and education.

paragraph: Charles Ray was born in Chicago as the son of Helen and Wade Ray. He has four brothers and a sister. He earned his BFA at the University of Iowa and his MFA from Mason Gross School of the Arts at Rutgers University.

paragraph: He studied sculpture at the University of Iowa School of Art and Art History with Roland Brener, who exposed Ray to many of developments of Modernist sculpture, in particular the constructivist aesthetic of artists like Anthony Caro and David Smith. In an interview, Ray spoke of his artistic education and early influences. He later studied with Stephen Zaima, where Ray executed many of his performance piece in the undergraduate studio like the Plank Piece.

paragraph: "Caro's work was like a template; I saw it as almost platonic. The formal rules as taught by Brener were a kind of nourishment for me. The actual working in the studio was, in a sense, the expression. I was taught that the finished sculpture was maybe the end of the paragraph. Once a sculpture was completed it was critiqued and put back on to the scrap pile. This way of working taught me to think sculpturally rather than to think about sculpture. At this time in my life the historical context of high Modernism was really beyond my grasp. I saw Caro as super-contemporary. His work was, and is, so alive. It bridges the gap between the inside and outside of my mind."

paragraph: Ray has headed the sculpture department at UCLA since 1981.

paragraph: Section::::Work.

paragraph: Ray's work is difficult to classify. Style, materials, subject, presence, and scale are all variable. Critic Anne Wagner finds the consistent quality to be this: "In all his seamlessly executed objects, Ray fixates on how and why things happen, to say nothing of wondering what really does happen in the field of vision, and how such events might be remade as art." This and the level of art historical awareness behind his works has led many critics to call Ray a sculptor's sculptor. Nevertheless, his art has managed to find a large audience, thanks in part to its often striking or beguiling nature.

paragraph: Ray recapitulated many of the developments in twentieth-century sculpture in his first show in 1971 with an installation entitled "One-Stop Gallery." The show consisted of a collection of small sculptures, resting directly on floor. Some of the works, in their attention to materials, were clearly inspired by minimalist artists like Robert Morris, while two small constructed steel sculptures invoke the traditions taught by his teacher, Brener; they were even painted the same red as Caro's "Early One Morning" (1962, Tate Modern). One-Stop Gallery would anticipate the tone for much of Ray's work to come in its plumbing and reinterpreting of the canon of twentieth-century sculpture without having his own work appeal to any particular period or style. Initially influenced by Caro, by including his own body in his works he made them more like documented performances. In the two-part photographic work "Plank Piece I–II" (1973), for example, he pinned his body to the wall with a large piece of wood.

paragraph: In the late 1980s, Ray conceived minimalist works using ink and wire. In "Ink Box" (1986), a large cube is filled to the brim with ink, giving the illusion of a solid cube. "Ink Line" (1987) is a continuous stream of black ink traveling from a dime-size opening in the ceiling into a similar hole in the floor. In "Spinning Spot" (1987), a section of the floor measuring 24 inches in diameter is set spinning at 33 RPM. Consisting of a single 8.5 foot length of wire, both ends of "Moving Wire" (1988) protrude from the wall and are set 14 inches apart; as one end of the wire extends out from the wall at random intervals, the other retracts.

paragraph: For "Unpainted Sculpture" (1997), over the course of two years, Ray reconstructed a life-sized crashed Pontiac Grand Am (circa 1991) out of fiberglass, casting and assembling each piece to match the bent and twisted forms of the original Despite the work's title, it is painted a soft dove grey that is reminiscent of the plastic parts of model car kits.

paragraph: His most labor-intensive work to date is the ten-year re-creation in Japanese cypress (Hinoki) of a fallen and rotting tree he had found in a meadow. With "Hinoki" (2007, Art Institute of Chicago), Ray had a mold made of a large rotting tree he found in California. He then hired a team of Japanese woodcarvers in Osaka to essentially re-carve the tree in Hinoki, a different wood than that of the original tree. In an interview with Michael Fried, Ray made it clear that the purpose of the piece was not to photorealistically carve an exact replica of the tree. "The tree had that beautiful interior that fallen logs have," he says. "It happens when bugs eat out the hard wood, so you have this hollow thing. All I knew was that I wanted to carve that, I wanted them to have a sense of that interior [of the log] because it's in there, even if normally it couldn't be seen. So that was really important. And then I became involved with the outside as well…It mattered to me that somebody had looked at it, and I wanted to make it matter to you."

paragraph: Ray's critically acclaimed "Firetruck" (1993), a full-size aluminum, fiberglass and Plexiglas installation, has been exhibited on Madison Avenue in New York, in front of the Whitney Museum of American Art. The giant replica of a red toy firetruck was also exhibited outside the Los Angeles County Museum of Art in 2008.

paragraph: In 2009, Ray installed "Boy with Frog", his first outdoor commissioned work, at the Punta della Dogana, Venice. Grand in size and realized with a smooth white finish that references the important tradition of marble sculpture in Italy, it depicted a boy holding a goliath frog above the Grand Canal. The sculpture called to mind the "Apollo Sauroktonos", an ancient Roman sculpture at the Musée du Louvre in Paris of a nude adolescent reaching out his arm to catch a lizard climbing a tree; and, the "Boy with Thorn (Lo Spinario)", a bronze statue at the Palazzo dei Conservatori, Musei Capitolini, of a seated Roman boy plucking a thorn from the sole of his foot. The statue was removed in 2013 and replaced with a lamp-post that had previously occupied the site.

paragraph: Ray’s first work in stone, "Two Horses" (2019), is a relief carved from a single block of Virginia granite and weighs more than six tons.

paragraph: Two Ghosts was not completed by Charles Ray, it was manufactured by Quarra Stone Company LLC in Madison Wisconsin with the only input from the author being an idea; execution and machining was done by Quarra Stone Company LLC employees.

paragraph: The same as the existing pieces being currently processed by Quarra Stone Company LLC.

paragraph: Section::::Exhibitions.

paragraph: Ray had his first one-person museum exhibition in 1989 at the Newport Harbor Art Museum (now Orange County Museum of Art). His art has since been featured in numerous solo and group exhibitions in Europe and North America, including a traveling, mid-career retrospective organized by Paul Schimmel for the Museum of Contemporary Art, Los Angeles, which then traveled to the Museum of Contemporary Art, Chicago and the Whitney Museum of American Art. Other solo exhibition venues include the Institute of Contemporary Art, London; Kunsthalle Bern, Switzerland; Astrup Fearnley Museet for Moderne Kunst, Oslo, Norway; and Kunstmuseum Basel, Switzerland. He has exhibited at documenta IX (1992), Venice Biennales in 1993 and 2003, and four Whitney Biennials. In 2012, Ray participated in "Lifelike", a group exhibition that originated at the Walker Art Center.

paragraph: In 2015, Ray's major one-person exhibition "Charles Ray: Sculpture, 1997-2014" opened at Kunstmuseum Basel in Switzerland before moving to the Art Institute of Chicago. The Art Institute devoted the of its second floor Modern Wing to 17 pieces.

paragraph: Nabu-apla-iddina

paragraph: Nabû-apla-iddina, inscribed "Nábû-ápla-iddina" or "Nábû-apla-íddina", = c. 888 – 855 BC, was the 6th king of the dynasty of "E" of Babylon and he reigned for at least 32 years. During much of Nabû-apla-iddina's reign Babylon faced a significant rival in Assyria under the rule of Aššur-nāṣir-apli II. Nabû-apla-iddina was able to avoid both outright war and significant loss of territory. There was some low level conflict, including a case where he sent a party of troops led by his brother to aid rebels in Suhu (Suhi,Sukhu,Suru). Later in his reign Nabu-apla-iddina agreed to a treaty with Aššur-nāṣir-apli II’s successor Šulmānu-ašarēdu III. Internally Nabu-apla-iddina worked on the reconstruction of temples and something of a literary revival took place during his reign with many older works being recopied.

paragraph: Section::::Biography.

paragraph: The 9th century BC was marked by a recovery of sorts after terrible instability of the preceding hundred and fifty years when Aramaean tribes had wantonly raided into Mesopotamia. He was the 2nd of four successive generations of a single family to rule. His father, Nabû-šuma-ukin I, had preceded him and he was to be succeeded by his son, Marduk-zakir-šumi I. The "Synchronistic Kinglist" gives his Assyrian contemporary as Aššur-nāṣir-apli II although his reign extended on into that of Šulmānu-ašarēdu III.

paragraph: He provided troops to the state of Suḫu (Suhi) in the middle Euphrates valley as part of its 878 BC revolt against Aššur-nāṣir-apli II. Kudurru,the governor of the fortress of Suru had defiantly refused to pay the Assyrians tribute, provoking their wrath. Nabû-apla-iddina's own

paragraph: brother Zabdanu and the diviner Bel-apli-iddina led the army of 3000 and following their defeat were taken prisoner. Although Aššur-nāṣir-apli claimed to have conquered the border fortresses Hirimmu and Harutu in his own inscriptions, this may be a restatement of his father, Tukulti-Ninurta II’s campaigns.

paragraph: His reign marks the last time a governor of Isin was to appear as a prominent official in a legal document, and the roles of Kassites were to be central to the monarchy, occupying high positions at court. The province of Chaldea in southern Babylonia was first mentioned and the "šakin temi" begins to serve as regional governor. There was a shift in fashion, where, for example, the feathered crown is replaced by a peaked dome as a headdress of the king.

paragraph: His inscriptions adorn perhaps five kudurrus, a possession inscription of his eldest son, and he is referenced in three Assyrian kinglists and two chronicles. Towards the end of his reign he concluded a treaty with Šulmānu-ašarēdu III which was to prove instrumental in stabilizing his successor Marduk-zakir-šumi I’s rule, following the revolt of his brother, Marduk-bēl-ušati. His reign is mentioned in a later copy of an offering list of aromatics used in the cult of Marduk in the Esagila at Babylon, and in a contemporary temple ordinance tablet distributing meats in the Eanna temple in Uruk.

paragraph: Section::::Biography.:The Sun God tablet.

paragraph: The ravages of the Suteans during the 11th century reign of Adad-apla-iddina (1067-1046 BC) had resulted in the cities of Uruk and Nippur being sacked and temples of Sippar being so thoroughly destroyed that the cultic iconography of Šamaš was irretrievably lost. The intervening reign of Simbar-Šipak (c.1025-1008 BC) had resulted in a votive disc being suspended as a substitute and a priest, Ekur-šum-ušabši, being appointed. Under the reign of Kaššu-nādin-aḫi (c. 1006-1004 BC)) a prebend had been provided to the priest. Not until Nabû-apla-iddina’s reign, however, was a replacement icon crafted for installation in the Ebabbar temple in Sippar, celebrated in the Sun God Tablet (pictured), also known as the "tablet of Shamash". He is portrayed being led by Nabû-nadin-shum, the priest and descendant of Ekur-šum-ušabši, and the goddess Aa, facing the seated figure of Šamaš. The inscription celebrates Nabû-apla-iddina’s victory over the Sutû, the “evil foe,” being the first Babylonian king in over two centuries (since Nabû-kudurrī-uṣur I, c. 1126–1103 BC) to claim a military title, “heroic warrior .. who bears an awe-inspiring bow …,” for their overthrow.

paragraph: The tablet was rediscovered some 250 years later by Nabû-apal-usur (625 BC - 605 BC), when it was already broken, and he had it placed in a clay box with his own inscription for safe keeping where it was discovered in the 19th century.

paragraph: Section::::Biography.:Literary revival.

paragraph: There is some evidence for a literary revival, with fresh editions of the "Utukkū Lemnūtu" series and the "Sakikkū" (SA.GIG) texts prepared, and for the sharing of a scribe between the Babylonian and Assyrian courts. Kabti-ilani-Marduk’s work, the "Epic of the plague god Erra", is sometimes dated to his reign and is certainly of this period.

paragraph: Stefan Marinović

paragraph: Stefan Marinović (; 1561–63), also known as Stefan of Scutari (Stefan Skadranin) was a 16th-century Serb printer from Scutari (Shkodër). Marinović printed his books first in Venice and then in Scutari. He always emphasized that he was from Scutari ().

paragraph: Section::::Venice.

paragraph: He printed his first book in printing house of Vićenco Vuković. It was the first part of Triod titled "Posni Triod". Vuković rented his printing shop to other printers who were, like Marinović in his first book, obliged to print Vuković's name on the book's covers.

paragraph: Typographers who worked at printing house of Vićenco Vuković included Hieromonk Pahomije, Hierodeacon Mojsije, priests Genadije and Teodosije and laity like Marinović and Jakov Krajkov.

paragraph: Section::::Scutari.

paragraph: Marinović built a printing house in Scutari in 1563. The second book he published was, according to its prologue, printed in Scutari. This book printed in Scutari was linked to the Venice issued by its style while its graphic was poor. It was printed on paper and had 224 pages.

paragraph: Marinović brought a skillful printer Camillo Zanetti with him to Scutari where he completed Triod by printing its remaining part (). Because Marinović used similar typography as Vićenco Vuković some authors believe that there is a possibility that he actually did not print his last book in Scutari, but in Venice. Other authors explain that he used typography similar to Vuković's simply because he liked it and ordered similar one to be made for his book printed in Scutari.

paragraph: Marinović was chronologically the third publisher of Cyrillic books in Venice.

paragraph: Pusalar

paragraph: Pusalar (also transliterated as Pūcalār, Pusala or Poosalar) is an eighth-century Nayanar saint, venerated in the Hindu sect of Shaivism. He is generally counted as the fifth-eighth in the list of 63 Nayanars. His hagiography speaks how he created a grand temple for Shiva in his mind and how his patron god Shiva preferred attending the consecration of his mind temple, instead of a grand temple created by a Pallava king.

paragraph: Section::::Life.

paragraph: The primary account of Pusalar's life comes from the Tamil "Periya Puranam" by Sekkizhar (12th century), which is a hagiography of the 63 Nayanars. Pusalar was a Brahmin, the priest caste. He lived in Thiruninravur (Tiru Ninravur/ Ninravur), presently a neighbourhood in the city of Chennai. In Pusalar's times, Thiruninravur was part of Tondai Nadu (Thondai Mandalam), which part of the Pallava kingdom. He could have been a temple priest.

paragraph: Pusalar was a Shaiva, a devotee of the god Shiva. He wanted to create a grand temple for Shiva, but did not have the money to do so. Thus, Pusalar decided to build a temple to Shiva in his mind with his imagination. He followed the rituals of temple-building, sanctified the ground and lay the first stone of his mind temple on an auspicious day. Over course of time, he completed his mind temple and selected a holy day for the "Kumbhabhishekam" ceremony, when the temple is consecrated and the image of God installed in the "garbhagriha" (sanctum sanatorium).

paragraph: The Pallava king Kadavarkon had just completed a grand Shiva temple in the capital Kanchipuram and selected the same day for consecration of his temple. Shiva appeared in the king's dream and instructed him to postpone the date of consecration as He would be journeying to Thiruninravur for the consecration of His devotee Pusalar's temple on the same day. The king postponed the date as per the divine decree and hastened to see the magnificent temple of Pusalar, which Shiva favoured over his own. However, on reaching Thiruninravur, the king could find any stone temple visible in the town and was perflexed. He reached Pusalar's house and informed Pusalar about his dream. The saint revealed that the temple existed in his heart. The king was astonished by Pusalar's devotion and bowed down to him and worshipped him. Pusalar consecrated the temple on the ordained day and continued his worship until his death, when he is said to have attained Kailash, the abode of Shiva.

paragraph: Pusalar is regarded as a historical figure. The Pallava king Kadavarkon from the "Periya Puranam" account is identified as King Rajasimha (also known as Narasimhavarman II), who reigned between 700 and 728 CE. The king's temple is identified as the Kailasanathar temple, which is regarded as Rajasimha's greatest temple and functioned as the personal shrine of the king. An inscription with 12 Sanskrit verses on the exterior walls of Kailasanathar temple aid the identification. The seventh verse talks about a "heavenly voice without body" that Rajasimha heard. This voice is associated with Shiva's voice in the Pusalar tale. Thus, Pusalar can be beginning to the beginning of the eighth century and a contemporary of Sundarar. The "Periya Puranam" depends on these inscriptions at Kailasanathar temple for telling the tale of Pusalar.

paragraph: The tale of Pusalar (called Pusala Nayanaru in the account) is also recalled in the 13th-century Telugu "Basava Purana" of Palkuriki Somanatha in brief and with some variation. The king is called Vikrama Choda (a Chola king who reigned between 1118–1135 CE), instead of the Pallava in the Tamil version. He created a grand temple of gold. Pusala Nayanaru created a similar temple in mind and gained the grace of Shiva.

paragraph: Section::::Remembrance.

paragraph: Pusalar is depicted with a shaven head and with folded hands (see Anjali mudra). A holy day in his honour is observed on the twenty-eighth day of the Tamil month of Aippasi, generally coincides with November 13. He receives collective worship as part of the 63 Nayanars. Their icons and brief accounts of his deeds are found in many Shiva temples in Tamil Nadu. Their images are taken out in procession in festivals.

paragraph: Hridayaleeswarar Temple, which dedicated to Shiva as Hrudayaleeswarar ("Lord in Devotees’ heart"), was built in Thiruninravur by the Pallavas in honour of Pusalar. Pusalar is worshipped with Shiva in the sanctum sanatorium of the temple. As per temple lore, this temple was created by the Pallava king from Pusalar's tale to fulfill Pusalar's wish to build a grand temple for Shiva. Since Pusalar originally built the temple in his heart, patients of heart diseases as well as cardiologists worship at this temple for cure of heart diseases.
