paragraph: Emmanuel Larcenet

paragraph: Emmanuel Larcenet, known as Manu Larcenet (born May 6, 1969 in Issy-les-Moulineaux, Hauts-de-Seine, France) is a French cartoonist. He worked with Fluide Glacial magazine from 1995 to 2006 and with "Spirou" magazine from 1997 to 2004. He has also founded the French publisher Les Rêveurs in 1998. Since 2000, he mostly works with Dargaud.

paragraph: Section::::Biography.

paragraph: Emmanuel Larcenet, also known as Manu Larcenet, studied graphic art at the Sèvres lycée and then went on to art school. While spending time as a singer in a punk-rock band, he published his first drawings in comics and rock fanzines. In October 1994, he was published in the French magazine Fluide Glacial (issue #220) with "L'Expert comptable de la jungle", a first story rapidly followed by other complete ones, and republished later in comic books, in the series "Soyons fous", "La Loi des séries" and "Bill Baroud". Meanwhile, Larcenet was also actively working for "Les rêveurs de runes". For this magazine and label specialising in fantasy, he created games called "Raoul", "D'ac Raoul", and, in 1997, "Dallas cowboy".

paragraph: From that year on, alone first and then with Gaudelette, he worked for "Spirou" magazine, publishing "Pedro le Coati", among others. In 1998, still for Dupuis but with Jean-Michel Thiriet, he created "La vie est courte". His other drawings were independently collected and published in 1996 and 1998 in "30 millions d'imbéciles" and "Ni dieu, ni maître, ni croquettes" by Glénat.

paragraph: In 2000, he met Guy Vidal who would become responsible for the label Poisson Pilote at Dargaud. He became friends with him and started contributing to the Poisson Pilote label, drawing "Les cosmonautes du futur" based on a script by Lewis Trondheim, and later on "Les Entremondes" with his brother Patrice Larcenet. In June 2001, he left Paris for Lyon, keeping contact with Vidal. On a scenario by Jean-Yves Ferri, he participated in "Le retour à la terre". Finally, he signed alone his next books : the "Une aventure rocambolesque de...", "Le combat ordinaire" (this last one being granted an award by the Prize for Best Album at the Angoulême International Comics Festival) and "Nic Oumouk" series.

paragraph: Thurston Hunt

paragraph: The Blessed Thurston Hunt (executed March 1601 at Lancaster) was an English Roman Catholic priest. He was tried and executed with the Blessed Robert Middleton, also a priest. They were declared to be martyrs by the Catholic Church, and beatified in 1987, by Pope John Paul II.

paragraph: Section::::Life.

paragraph: He belonged to a family living at Carlton Hall, near Leeds, and had made his course of studies for the priesthood at Reims (1583–84). Robert Middleton was a nephew of another martyr, Saint Margaret Clitheroe, and had also studied at Reims and at Rome (1594–98). In November 1600, Middleton was arrested by chance near Preston. An attempt to rescue him was then made by four Catholics, of whom Hunt was one, but the attempt failed. After a long tussle, Hunt was himself captured.

paragraph: The two were heavily shackled night and day. By order of the Privy Council, with their feet tied beneath their horses' bellies, they were carried in public disgrace up to London and back again to Lancaster, where they were condemned and executed for their priesthood. The local population showed their disapproval, and their relics were carried off after their death.

paragraph: John Maynard (died 1658)

paragraph: Sir John Maynard K.B. (1592–1658) was an English politician.

paragraph: Section::::Origins.

paragraph: Maynard was the second son of Sir Henry Maynard, of Estaines Parva, in Essex, and Susan, the daughter of Thomas Pearson. His elder brother, William, was the first Lord Maynard. His early education is unknown, but it is known that he attended the Inner Temple in 1610.

paragraph: Section::::Political career.

paragraph: Maynard was elected MP for Chippenham in March 1624 and 1625.

paragraph: He was made a Knight of the Bath on 2 February 1626, the day of Charles I's coronation.

paragraph: He was elected as Member of Parliament for Calne in 1626 and for Lostwithiel for the Long Parliament in 1646. He proposed that the army should be disbanded and on 16 June 1647, he was one of eleven members of the House of Commons charged by the army with obstructing the business of Ireland, acting against the army and against the laws and liberties of the subject, and with being obstructors of justice. On 20 July, leave of absence was granted to these members for six months and it is probable that Maynard left for the country. In 1648, he was imprisoned for a time in the Tower of London on charges of treason (though eventually released). While imprisoned, he addressed a remonstrance to the House of Lords, claiming his right to a trial by his peers.

paragraph: Section::::Death and posterity.

paragraph: Maynard ultimately inherited his father's estate in Tooting. He died on 29 July 1658 and is buried in Tooting Churchyard (along with his son and heir, also Sir John Maynard, who died in 1664). He married Mary, the daughter of Sir Thomas Myddelton, of Chirk Castle, Denbighshire, and had by her three sons and two daughters, four of whom died without issue. His daughter Anne married Sir John Musters of Colwick in Nottinghamshire. Sir John Maynard the Younger left an only daughter and heir, Mary, who married (first) William Adams, (secondly) Sir Rushout Cullen and (thirdly) Francis Buller of Chillingham, Cornwall.

paragraph: Maynard is included in a very detailed etching: "Charles I Demanding in the House of Commons the Five Impeached Members".

paragraph: Louis Tussaud

paragraph: Louis Joseph Kenny Tussaud was the great-grandson of Marie Tussaud, creator of the Madame Tussauds wax museums. He worked at Madame Tussauds museum as a wax figure sculptor but left when his brother John Theodore Tussaud became chief artist and manager of the museum after a limited company was formed in 1888 and sold in 1889. The main shareholder was Edwin Josiah Poyser.

paragraph: Louis Tussaud created a waxwork museum in London, 207 Regent Street, which opened 24 December 1890. The Regent Street waxwork museum was destroyed in a fire on 20 June 1891. He moved to Blackpool in 1900. He first set up a waxworks in Blackpool in the basement of the Hippodrome Theatre, Church Street, opening it in July 1900. The following year, he moved the exhibition to the Brunswick Café, South Shore. In 1929 the Louis Tussaud's Waxworks opened on Central Promenade. It was closed in 2010 and re-opened as Madame Tussauds in 2011.

paragraph: Louis Tussaud's waxwork museum in Great Yarmouth, which closed in October 2012, had been described as the world's worst waxworks museum because so many of its models look nothing like the people they are supposed to represent.

paragraph: Louis Tussaud wax museums were later established in Atlantic City; Belle Vue, Greater Manchester; Brighton (1937-1979); Copenhagen (1974-2007); Great Yarmouth and St. Petersburg, Florida. There was a Louis Tussaud shakespearian waxworks in Stratford from 1971 to 1983.

paragraph: Louis Tussaud's museums are not connected to his great-grandmother's Madame Tussauds wax museum nor to the Josephine Tussaud's (1900–1985) wax museum in Hot Springs, Arkansas.

paragraph: Louis Tussauds, Blackpool, (which was temporarily owned by Leisure Parcs) was bought out by Blackpool Council. The attraction closed in November 2010 and passed to the management of the Merlin Entertainment Group.

paragraph: Mychal Judge

paragraph: Mychal Fallon Judge, O.F.M. (born Robert Emmett Judge; May 11, 1933 – September 11, 2001), was a Franciscan friar and Catholic priest who served as a chaplain to the New York City Fire Department. It was while serving in that capacity that he was killed, becoming the first certified fatality of the September 11, 2001 attacks.

paragraph: Section::::Early life.

paragraph: Mychal Judge was born Robert Emmett Judge on May 11, 1933 in Brooklyn, New York, the son of immigrants from County Leitrim, Ireland, and the firstborn of a pair of fraternal twins. His twin sister Dympna was born two days later. Judge was baptized in St. Paul's Church in Brooklyn on June 4. They and their older sister Erin, grew up during the Great Depression.

paragraph: From the ages of three to six, he watched his father suffer and die of mastoiditis, a slow and painful illness of the skull and inner ear. To earn income following his father's death, Judge shined shoes at New York Penn Station and would visit St. Francis of Assisi Church, located across the street. Seeing the Franciscan friars there, he later said, "I realized that I didn't care for material things... I knew then that I wanted to be a friar."

paragraph: Section::::Career.

paragraph: After spending his freshman year at the St. Francis Preparatory School in Brooklyn, where he studied under the Franciscan Brothers of Brooklyn, in 1948, at the age of 15, Judge began the formation process to enter the Order of Friars Minor. He transferred to St. Joseph's Seraphic Seminary in Callicoon, New York, the minor seminary of the Holy Name Province of the Order. After graduation, he enrolled at St. Bonaventure University in Olean, New York. In 1954 he was admitted to the novitiate of the Province in Paterson, New Jersey. After completing that year of formation, he received the religious habit and professed his first vows as a member of the Order. At that time, he was given the religious name of Fallon Michael. He later dropped 'Fallon' and changed 'Michael' to Mychal. According to "Queer There and Everywhere" by Sarah Prager, Mychal changed his name to "differentiate himself from all the other 'Father Michaels.'" He resumed his college studies at St. Bonaventure University, where he earned a bachelor's degree in 1957. He professed his solemn vows as a full member of the Order in 1958. Following this, he did his theological studies at Holy Name College Seminary in Washington, D.C.. Upon completing these studies in 1961, he was ordained a priest.

paragraph: After his ordination, Judge was assigned to the Shrine of St. Anthony in Boston, Massachusetts. Following his assignment there, he served in various parishes served by the Franciscans: St. Joseph Parish in East Rutherford, New Jersey, Sacred Heart Parish in Rochelle Park, New Jersey, Holy Cross Parish in the Bronx and St. Joseph Parish in West Milford, New Jersey. For three years he served as assistant to the President of Siena College, operated by the Franciscans in Loudonville, New York. In 1986 he was assigned to St. Francis of Assisi Church in Manhattan, where he had first come to know the friars. He lived and worked there until his death.

paragraph: Around 1971, Judge developed alcoholism, although he never showed obvious signs. In 1978, with the support of Alcoholics Anonymous, he became sober and continued to share his personal story of alcoholism to help others facing addiction.

paragraph: In 1992, Judge was appointed a chaplain to the New York City Fire Department. As chaplain, he offered encouragement and prayers at fires, rescues, and hospitals, and counseled firemen and their families, often working 16-hour days. "His whole ministry was about love. Mychal loved the fire department and they loved him." He was a member of AFSCME Local 299 (District Council 37).

paragraph: Judge was also well known in the city for ministering to the homeless, the hungry, recovering alcoholics, people with AIDS, the sick, injured, and grieving, immigrants, gays and lesbians, and those alienated by the Church and society. Judge once gave the winter coat off his back to a homeless woman in the street, later saying, "She needed it more than me." When he anointed a man who was dying of AIDS, the man asked him, "Do you think God hates me?" Judge picked him up, kissed him, and silently rocked him in his arms. Judge worked with St. Clare's hospital, which opened the city's first AIDS ward, in order to start an active AIDS ministry. He visited hospitals and AIDS patients and their families, presided over many funerals, and counseled other prominent gay Catholics like Brendan Fay and Fr. John McNeill. Judge continued to be an advocate for gay rights throughout the rest of his life, marching in pride parades and attending other gay events.

paragraph: Even before his death, many considered Judge to be a living saint for his extraordinary works of charity and his deep spirituality. While praying, he would sometimes "become so lost in God, as if lost in a trance, that he'd be shocked to find several hours had passed." Judge's spiritual director, the late Jesuit John J. McNeill, observed that Judge achieved an "extraordinary degree of union with the divine. We knew we were dealing with someone directly in line with God."

paragraph: Section::::September 11 attacks.

paragraph: On September 11, 2001, upon learning that the World Trade Center had been hit by the first of two jetliners, Judge rushed to the site. He was met by Rudolph Giuliani, the Mayor of New York City, who asked him to pray for the city and its victims. Judge prayed over some bodies lying on the streets, then entered the lobby of the World Trade Center North Tower, where an emergency command post had been organized. There he continued offering aid and prayers for the rescuers, the injured, and the dead.

paragraph: When the South Tower collapsed at 9:59 am, debris went flying through the North Tower lobby, killing many inside, including Judge. At the moment he was struck in the head and killed, Judge was repeatedly praying aloud, "Jesus, please end this right now! God, please end this!", according to Judge's biographer and "New York Daily News" columnist Michael Daly.

paragraph: Shortly after his death, NYPD Lieutenant William Cosgrove found Judge's body. He and two firemen, Christian Waugh and Zachary Vause, FDNY EMT Kevin Allen detailed to the NYC Office of Emergency Management (OEM), and one civilian bystander, Former U.S. Army Maj. John P. Maguire, then carried Judge's body out of the North Tower. This event was captured in the documentary film "9/11", shot by Jules and Gedeon Naudet. Shannon Stapleton, a photographer from Reuters, photographed Judge's body being carried out of the rubble by the five men. It became one of the most famous images related to 9/11. The "Philadelphia Weekly" reported that the photograph is "considered an American "Pietà"." Judge's body was laid before the altar of St. Peter's Catholic Church before being taken to the medical examiner.

paragraph: Mychal Judge was designated as "Victim 0001" and thereby recognized as the first official victim of the attacks. Although others had been killed before him, including the crews, passengers, and hijackers of the first three planes, and occupants of the towers and the Pentagon, Judge was the first certified fatality because he was the first body to be recovered and taken to the medical examiner.

Former President Bill Clinton and Senator Hillary Rodham Clinton also attended. President Clinton said that Judge's death was a "special loss. We should lift his life up as an example of what has to prevail. We have to be more like Father Mike than the people who killed him."

paragraph: Judge was buried in the friars' plot at Holy Sepulchre Cemetery in Totowa, New Jersey. On October 11, 2001 Brendan Fay organized a "Month's Mind Memorial" in Good Shepherd Chapel, General Theological Seminary, New York. It was an evening of prayer, stories, traditional Irish music, and personal testimonials about Judge.

paragraph: Three people in the Roman Catholic Church called to canonize Judge. The Orthodox-Catholic Church of America declared him a saint. Two people claim miraculous healings through prayers to Judge. Evidence of miracles is required for canonization in the Catholic Church.

paragraph: Judge's fire helmet was presented to Pope John Paul II. France awarded him the Légion d'honneur. Some members of the United States Congress have nominated him for the Congressional Gold Medal. as well as the Presidential Medal of Freedom. In 2002, the City of New York renamed the portion of West 31st Street on which the friary where he lived is located as "Father Mychal F. Judge Street", and christened a commuter ferry, the "Father Mychal Judge" in his honor in 2002.

paragraph: In 2002, the United States Congress passed "The Mychal Judge Police and Fire Chaplains Public Safety Officers Benefit Act" into law. The law extended federal death benefits to chaplains of police and fire departments, and also marked the first time the federal government extended equal benefits for same-sex couples by allowing the domestic partners of public safety officers killed in the line of duty to collect a federal death benefit. This act was signed into law on June 24, 2002, but would be retroactive only to September 11, 2001.

paragraph: The New York Press Club instituted The Rev. Mychal Judge Heart of New York Award, which is presented annually for the news story or series that is most complimentary of New York City.

paragraph: A campaign has been started in East Rutherford, New Jersey to have a statue of Judge erected in its Memorial Park.

paragraph: Alvernia University, a private independent college in the Franciscan tradition in Reading, Pennsylvania, named a new residence hall in honor of Judge.

paragraph: The Father Mychal Judge Memorial in the village of Keshcarrigan, County Leitrim, Ireland was dedicated in 2005, on donated land which had belonged to Judge's ancestors. People from the village and surrounding area celebrate his life every year on the 9/11 anniversary.

paragraph: In 2006 a documentary film, "Saint of 9/11", directed by Glenn Holsten, co-produced by Brendan Fay and narrated by Sir Ian McKellen, was released.

paragraph: Larry Kirwan, leader of the Irish-American band Black 47, wrote a tribute song entitled "Mychal" in honor of Judge that appeared on the band's 2004 album "New York Town".

paragraph: The Father Mychal Judge Walk of Remembrance takes place every year in New York on the Sunday before the 9/11 anniversary. It begins with a Mass at St. Francis Church on West 31st Street, then proceeds to the site of Ground Zero, retracing Judge's final journey and praying along the way. Every September 11, there is a Mass in memory of Judge in Boston, attended by many who lost family members on 9/11.

paragraph: At the National 9/11 Memorial, Judge is memorialized at the South Pool, on Panel S-18, where other first responders are located.

paragraph: In 2014 Judge was inducted into the Legacy Walk, an outdoor public display which celebrates LGBT history and people.

paragraph: In 2015 a statue was dedicated to Judge at St. Joseph's Park in East Rutherford, New Jersey, across the street from St. Joseph's Parish where he served for several years.

paragraph: In recognition of his heroic actions and his commitment to the dignity of LGBTQ people, Judge was posthumously awarded the Dooley Award by GALA-ND/SMC, an alumni organization of the University of Notre Dame, a prominent American Catholic university.

paragraph: Section::::Sexuality.

paragraph: Following his death, a few of Judge's friends and associates revealed that Judge was gay (as a matter of orientation rather than practice, as he was a celibate priest). According to Fire Department Commissioner Thomas Von Essen: "I actually knew about his homosexuality when I was in the Uniformed Firefighters Association. I kept the secret, but then he told me when I became commissioner five years ago. He and I often laughed about it, because we knew how difficult it would have been for the other firemen to accept it as easily as I had. I just thought he was a phenomenal, warm, sincere man, and the fact that he was gay just had nothing to do with anything."

paragraph: Judge developed a romantic relationship with a Filipino nurse named Al Alvarado in the last year of his life, which Judge documented in his diaries. The two often did not see each other for months because of Judge's work as a firefighter.

paragraph: The revelations about sexual orientation were not without controversy, however. Dennis Lynch, a lawyer, wrote an article about Judge that appeared on the website catholic.org. Lynch claimed that Judge was not gay and that any attempt to define him as gay was due to "homosexual activists" who wanted to "attack the Catholic Church" and turn the priest into a "homosexual icon". Others refuted Lynch's claims with evidence that Judge did in fact identify himself as gay, both to others and in his personal journals.

paragraph: Judge was a long-term member of Dignity, a Catholic LGBT activist organization that advocates for change in the Catholic Church's teaching on homosexuality. On October 1, 1986, the Vatican's Congregation for the Doctrine of the Faith issued an encyclical, "On the Pastoral Care of Homosexual Persons", which declared homosexuality to be a "strong tendency ordered toward an intrinsic moral evil". In response, many bishops, including John Cardinal O'Connor, banned Dignity from diocesan churches under their control. Judge then welcomed Dignity's AIDS ministry to the Church of Saint Francis of Assisi, which is under the control of the Franciscan friars, thereby partially circumventing the cardinal's ban of Dignity.

paragraph: Judge disagreed with official Roman Catholic teaching regarding homosexuality. Judge often asked, "Is there so much love in the world that we can afford to discriminate against any kind of love?"

paragraph: Aaron Mokoena

paragraph: Teboho Aaron Mokoena (born 25 November 1980 in Boipatong), known as Aaron Mokoena, is a South African footballer who last played for South African football team Bidvest Wits and the South African national team.

paragraph: Section::::Club career.

paragraph: Section::::Club career.:Early career.

paragraph: Mokoena moved to Bayer Leverkusen and Ajax, before twice being loaned out to Germinal Beerschot and then transferring to KRC Genk for two years. On 4 January 2005, aged 24 he moved to Premier League side Blackburn Rovers in which he described his move as a dream.

paragraph: Section::::Club career.:Blackburn Rovers.

paragraph: Mokoena made his debut for Blackburn on 8 January 2005 in an FA Cup match against Cardiff City, coming on as a 43rd-minute substitute for Barry Ferguson. After this, Mark Hughes who called him a very good organiser and pacy athlete mainly utilised Mokoena as a holding midfielder, seemingly deeming him not strong enough in defence. Mokoena went on to be a regular in the starting line-up for the remainder of the season, appearing 22 times in total. He was used by Hughes as the holding midfielder in a three-man midfield in a defensive 4–5–1 formation, a move which saw Blackburn concede fewer goals and move away from relegation danger. Hughes later reverted to a 4–4–2 formation. From then on, Mokoena found himself used sparingly as a holding midfielder in his favoured 4–5–1 formation as a second-half substitute, charged with protecting leads in games in which Blackburn were winning. With Robbie Savage out injured for Rovers, Mokoena started most of the team's games in 2007 and he scored his first goal for Blackburn in an FA Cup 6th round victory against Manchester City on 11 March 2007. However, he was later sent off after getting a second yellow card. He scored his second and final Blackburn goal against Sunderland in February 2009, again this time in the FA Cup replay in Rovers' 2–1 win at Ewood Park which was also voted as goal of the season for the 2008–09 season. Mokoena played his final game for Blackburn Rovers on 24 May 2009 against West Bromwich Albion at Ewood Park in the 0–0 draw.

paragraph: Section::::Club career.:Portsmouth.

paragraph: On 24 May 2009 he announced he would be joining fellow Premier League outfit Portsmouth on a three-year deal. He scored his first goal for Portsmouth in the last minute of extra time to give them victory over Coventry City at the Ricoh Arena in the dying seconds in the FA Cup 3rd round replay on 12 January 2010. This was one of the most important goals in the club's history a it sent them through to the 4th round of the competition which they ended up being runners up to Chelsea. Mokoena played a major part in the games against Coventry, Sunderland, South Coast rivals Southampton, Birmingham and Tottenham. He stated that he desired the move to secure regular football, especially in the run up to the 2010 World Cup held in South Africa his native.

paragraph: Mokoena scored his first league goal in English football (having previously scored three in the FA Cup) when he netted on 58 minutes and completed the full 90 minutes in a 3–1 victory over Bristol City at Fratton Park on 28 September 2010.

paragraph: On 28 October 2010, Mokoena signed a new two-and-a-half-year deal with Pompey lasting until summer 2013. He made 70 appearances and has scored 3 goals for Portsmouth in all competitions. On 18 June 2011, he said that he could be leaving Portsmouth because he has been very frustrated at being on the bench on a regular basis.

paragraph: Following Portsmouth going into administration in February 2012 and the club's subsequent relegation into the third-tier Football League One, Mokoena was identified a potential key player to leave due to his relatively high salary. During this time Mokoena was strongly linked with a transfer to Bidvest Wits and did not show up to the first day of pre-season training. On 10 July, Portsmouth manager Michael Appleton stated that he believed Mokoena would leave Portsmouth within 24 hours.

paragraph: On 12 July 2012, Mokoena agreed a contract termination with Pompey.

paragraph: Section::::Club career.:Bidvest Wits.

paragraph: On 11 July 2012 Mokoena completed his move from Portsmouth to Bidvest Wits. On 20 July, he was officially presented at his new club.

paragraph: Section::::International.

paragraph: Mokoena is known as "Mbazo" or "The Axe" because of his tough tackling skills. He is the youngest ever player to have represented South Africa, having played in 1999 for the 2000 Summer Olympics qualifiers aged 18–19; he later replaced Lucas Radebe as captain of his country. He played for South Africa at the 2000 Olympics, where they finished third in Group D.

paragraph: Mokoena has also played at the 2002 and 2004 Africa Cup of Nations. In January 2008, Mokoena captained South Africa in the 2008 Africa Cup of Nations in Ghana. He retained the captaincy for the 2009 Confederations Cup and 2010 FIFA World Cup, both held in his homeland. On 31 May 2010, he was named in South Africa's 23-man World Cup squad.

paragraph: He won his 100th cap against Guatemala in Polokwane in a 5–0 win on 3 May 2010, and celebrated by taking to the field wearing the number 100 on the back of his shirt. On 11 June 2010, he captained Bafana Bafana in the opening group game against Mexico of the 2010 World Cup and also played the full 90 minutes alongside Bongani Khumalo in a 1–1 draw in Johannesburg. On 16 June 2010, Mokoena again skippered the Bafana Bafana this time in their 3–0 defeat by Uruguay at the Loftus Versfeld Stadium. On 22 June, he started in the 2–1 win over France at the Free State Stadium in Bloemfontein. As of 2012, Mokoena has won 107 caps for his country and has scored 1 goal since debuting back in 1999.

paragraph: Gunnar S. Gundersen

paragraph: Gunnar S. Gundersen (25 December 1921 – 16 January 1983) or Gunnar S. (as he came to be known) was a Norwegian modernist painter.

paragraph: Section::::Biography.

paragraph: Gunnar S. Gundersen was born in Førde, in the county of Sogn og Fjordane, Norway. Gundersen was among the young artists who attended the National Academy of Fine Art in Oslo in the years after Norway was liberated from Nazi-Germany. He was a pupil of Aage Storstein at the National Art Academy. This generation wanted to free themselves for the traditional Norwegian figurative painting and sought inspiration from leading artists in Europe at the time. Danish artist Richard Mortensen, as well as Auguste Herbin, Serge Poliakoff and Victor Vasarely. He belonged to a group of younger artists who were often referred to as "Dødsgjengen" together with fellow artists Ludvig Eikaas and .

paragraph: When he chose his modernistic form he was quickly acknowledged as one of the leaders in the abstract art form in Norway. Gunnar S. is now regarded as one of the most significant painter of the Norwegian post-war period. Even though he never received the international acclaim he might have deserved, he became a unifying figure among his contemporaries in Norway. His work has been an inspiration for many artists in later generations.

paragraph: This expression is at first glance a rendition of flat color fields. However, through extensive knowledge of theories of visual perception Gunnar S. is able to transform the color fields into images with a unique spatial quality, what Gunnar S. himself called "inconsistent space."

paragraph: Francesco di Giorgio Martini

paragraph: Francesco di Giorgio Martini (1439–1501) was an Italian architect, engineer, painter, sculptor, and writer. As a painter, he belonged to the Sienese School. He was considered a visionary architectural theorist—in Nikolaus Pevsner's terms: "one of the most interesting ". As a military engineer, he executed architectural designs and sculptural projects and built almost seventy fortifications for the Federico da Montefeltro, Count (later Duke) of Urbino, building city walls and early examples of star-shaped fortifications.

paragraph: Born in Siena, he apprenticed as a painter with Vecchietta. In panels painted for "cassoni" he departed from the traditional representations of joyful wedding processions in frieze-like formulas to express visions of ideal, symmetrical, vast and all but empty urban spaces rendered in perspective.

paragraph: He composed an architectural treatise "Trattato di architettura, ingegneria e arte militare", the third of the Quattrocento, after Leone Battista Alberti's and Filarete's; he worked on it for decades and finished sometime after 1482; it circulated in manuscript. The projects were well in advance of completed projects at the time, but innovations, for example in staircase planning, running in flights and landings round an open center, or dividing at a landing to return symmetrically on each wall, became part of architectural vocabulary in the following century. The third book is preoccupied with the "ideal" city, constrained within star-shaped polygonal geometries reminiscent of the star fort, whose wedge-shaped bastions are said to have been his innovation.

paragraph: Francesco di Giorgio finished his career as architect in charge of the works at the Duomo di Siena, where his bronze angels are on the high altar and some marble floor mosaics are attributed to his designs. The design of the church of San Sebastiano in Vallepiatta in Siena is also attributed to him.

paragraph: Di Giorgio's painting of the "Madonna and Child with 2 Angels" is found at the Lowe Art Museum in Coral Gables, Florida.

paragraph: Section::::Biography.

paragraph: Section::::Biography.:Early life (1439–1470).

paragraph: Born sometime in 1439 in Siena to a poultry dealer, Francesco Maurizio di Giorgio di Martino was baptized on September 23, 1439. Not much is known about his youth, except that he is assumed to have been a student of Vecchietta due to similarities in style between Di Giorgio's early paintings and those of the master. The first record of his work as an artist is from 1464, when at age 25 he was paid 12 lire for a statue of John the Baptist.

paragraph: He was married two times in quick succession when his first wife, Cristofana, died shortly after they were married in 1467. On January 26, 1469 he married Agnese, the daughter of Antonio di Benedetto di Neroccio, and possibly a relative of Neroccio di Bartolomeo de' Landi, with whom Di Giorgio shared a studio and an artistic partnership during these years.

paragraph: Section::::Biography.:Early work in Siena (1471–1475).

paragraph: Di Giorgio's early years as a professional artist, architect, and engineer were full of a variety of projects. On top of various artistic commissions that he completed during this time, he and another engineer were given a contract by Siena to work on its aqueduct and fountain system, with the goal of adding about a third more water to the city's water supply. They were able to enlarge the fountain in the Piazza del Campo and make other improvements around the city, successfully fulfilling their contract in 1473. During this period, Di Giorgio was also working with assistants on "The Coronation of the Virgin" for the Santa Maria della Scala (Siena), a large painted altarpiece.

paragraph: Sienese records from 1471 describe an episode in which the artist and nine others broke into the Monastery of the Holy Saviour outside Siena and "behaved dishonorably" once inside. They were sentenced to be banished from the city for three months, or to pay a 25 lire fine, which Di Giorgio paid.

paragraph: Section::::Biography.:Urbino (1475–1484).

paragraph: During the mid-1470s, Di Giorgio came into the employ of Federico da Montefeltro, Duke of Urbino. He created multiple artistic works for the Duke, including the bronze relief "Deposition from the Cross" and served as an architect and engineer for the duke during the Pazzi conspiracy. In the fighting between Italian city-states which followed, Di Giorgio constructed a series of great fortifications for his patron. This source of employment for Di Giorgio continued after da Montefeltro's death with his son the new duke.

paragraph: Architectural work also came to Di Giorgio through his employment with the Duke, including what is probably his most famous building, Santa Maria delle Grazie al Calcinaio in Cortona. The church was challenging to design due to the steep incline of its location, but Di Giorgio's skill with engineering and architecture allowed him to design a solid building which still stands.

paragraph: Section::::Biography.:Return to Siena and Later Career (1485–1500).

paragraph: Letters from 1485 reveal that the Sienese government wrote to Francesco di Giorgio to request that he return to his native city and embark on the design and construction of public buildings. He did return to the city in 1486 and began receiving an annual salary of 800 florins for his position as official city engineer in which he would inspect all engineering projects throughout Siena. Di Giorgio also completed artistic projects for the city, such as the candle-holding angel sculptures which he contributed to the altar at the Opera del Duomo.

paragraph: This time was one of prosperity and popularity for Di Giorgio, whose presence and expertise were fought over by the rulers of several city-states, particularly Siena and Urbino. His tax documents from 1488 show material wealth as well as familial wealth in the form of six children.

paragraph: In 1490 he was commissioned by the government of Milan to produce a model for dome of the Milan Cathedral. This project led him to journey to the site of the cathedral, where he met Leonardo da Vinci who had also been hired to consult on the building. Di Giorgio apparently provided useful advice to the constructors of the cathedral, and was paid 100 florins for his trouble.

paragraph: His expertise as a war engineer came into play again during the Italian War of 1494–98, when he was in the employ of Ferdinand II of Naples. He used tunnels and explosives in what is considered the pioneering use of mining technology for warfare.

paragraph: In 1499 Di Giorgio was elected the "capomaestro" of the Opera del Duomo.

paragraph: In Leonardo da Vinci´s list of books Francesco di Giorgio Martini has been mentioned. This indicates that Leonardo had been in the possession of Francesco´s work.

paragraph: Section::::Biography.:Death (1501).

paragraph: Francesco di Giorgio died at the age of 62 outside Siena in 1501 or early 1502, having retired to the countryside mid-1501. His widow spent most of the rest of her life embroiled in legal battles related to the late architect's estate.

paragraph: Skender Kulenović

paragraph: Skender Kulenović (2 September 1910 – 25 January 1978) was a Serbian poet, novelist and dramatist.

paragraph: Section::::Background.

paragraph: Skender Kulenović was born in 1910 in the Bosnian town of Bosanski Petrovac, when it was part of the Austro-Hungarian Empire. Kulenović family was a Muslim land-owning family, though Skender's parents ran a rented hotel and a grocery shop. Skender was the third of four sons (one of whom died in infancy) and one daughter. In 1921, impoverished by the land reforms brought in by the new Kingdom of Yugoslavia, his family moved to the central Bosnian town of Travnik, his mother's birthplace. Here Skender Kulenović became a day-boy at the "Jezuitska klasična gimnazija" (the local Jesuit Grammar School). Here too, he wrote his first poems, culminating in the publication of a set of sonnets ("Ocvale primule", or "Withered Primroses") in a 1927–28 school almanac.

paragraph: In 1930, the Kulenović family recovered a little of their former prosperity – enough to enable Skender and his sister Ćamila to continue their education. Skender registered to study law at Zagreb University – the main reason, as he admitted, being that the Law Faculty allowed students to do the bulk of their studying at home. When in Zagreb he became inspired by leftist ideas, joining the Yugoslav Communist Party (KPJ) of which his elder brother, the painter Muhamed Kulenović, was already a member, in 1935. In the same year he gave up his law studies to focus on journalism and literary work. Over the next four years he published essays and short stories in various journals, including "Putokaz" ("Signpost"), a journal of which he was a founder member.

paragraph: This was a time of increasing political tension in the first Yugoslav state. Externally, the authoritarian Regency of Prince Pavle was trying to balance popular pro-French and pro-British sentiments with a need to maintain good relations with the country's Fascist Italian and Nazi German neighbours. Internally, political life was becoming increasingly dominated by Serb-Croat hostility; in 1939, a vain attempt was made to defuse this by imposing a bipartite federal system, under which most of Bosnia became Croatian territory. In late 1939 or early 1940, Skender Kulenović was expelled from the KPJ for having refused to sign an open letter criticising the government and advocating autonomy for Bosnia and Herzegovina – a decision which prevented him from publishing in many of the journals he had worked with until then. In 1940 he married his first wife, Ana Prokop.

paragraph: In March and April 1941, Prince Pavle's balancing act finally failed: he was deposed in a popular pro-Western military coup, upon which the Nazis invaded and occupied Yugoslavia. Muhamed Kulenović was immediately imprisoned as a KPJ member; in July, he was shot after an escape attempt. In November the same year, Skender joined Josip Broz Tito’s Partisans, and was readmitted into the Communist Party. In 1942, just after the German summer offensive had narrowly failed to wipe out the Partisan army, he composed perhaps his most famous poem, “Stojanka Majka Knežopoljka” (“Stojanka, the mother from Knežopolje”), a modernist Partisan version of the traditional Bosnian lament with strong elements of the Serbian folk-epic. In the same year, Skender's remaining brother Muzafer was executed in Belgrade.

paragraph: While in the Partisan forces, Kulenović also edited various newspapers and journals, continued to publish, and helped set up a theatre group. It was here, in 1944, that he fell in love with Vera Crvenčanin, who was to become his second wife. In 1945, Skender Kulenović was appointed Drama Director of the National Theatre in newly liberated Sarajevo. In 1947 he and Vera moved to Belgrade, which was to remain their home until his death. The postwar years he devoted largely to drama and journalism: he wrote several successful theatre plays, but also a number of short stories, essays and poems, and edited various literary and non-literary journals. In 1954, after having published an essay by the dissident Milovan Đilas, he was sacked as editor of the journal "Nova misao (New Thought)". Though he was to continue with his theatrical work, this, with the death of his father in the same year, dealt a severe blow to his confidence and self-esteem.

paragraph: Kulenović's long contact with the city of Mostar began in 1956, when he stayed there during the production of his play "Djelidba (Division)". In 1959 he published “Stećak”, the first of his forty Sonnets. He also traveled to Egypt, which inspired a series of travelogues – and, later, the sonnet "Vaze" (Vases). 1968 saw the publication of the first twenty "Soneti (Sonnets)". "Soneti II", the second set of twenty sonnets, followed in 1974. In 1977 his novel "Ponornica (Lost River)" appeared. He was working on a sequel when he fell ill late that year. After one last stay in Mostar, he returned to Belgrade in January 1978, when he died of heart failure.

paragraph: He was featured on the 0.50 Bosnia and Herzegovina convertible mark bill, which has been withdrawn from circulation and replaced with coins.

paragraph: Section::::Ethnicity.

paragraph: Kulenović's life story is in many ways typical of a Bosnian-born intellectual of the Yugoslav age: born into a Bosnian Muslim family, educated in the Catholic tradition and living in the Serbian capital. Just as his political ethos was one of pan-Yugoslav unity in Tito's communism, so his cultural roots were embedded in the Ottoman, Croatian and Serbian traditions equally. Some Bosniaks and Serbs categorise him as a Bosniak poet and a Serbian poet respectively – a tendency which, the Sarajevo critic Ivan Lovrenović claims, "diminishes and degrades" the status of Kulenović and writers like him. One might also say, however, that his roots in all three traditions makes him a Bosnian (rather than a Bosniak) poet par excellence, for these were the three traditions that form the weft of culture in Bosnia. But this does not prevent him from also being seen as a Yugoslav poet – or, more precisely, as one culturally at home throughout the Serbo-Croat speaking region.

paragraph: Johnny Duncan (footballer)

paragraph: John "Johnny" Duncan (nicknamed "Tokey") was a Scottish football player and manager, who is most notable for his time at Leicester City.

paragraph: He captained the club to its greatest ever league finishes of 3rd and 2nd place in the First Division in 1927–28 and 1928–29 respectively. While also carrying much of the backroom influence at the time as he asserted the club remained faithful to Peter Hodge's passing style. He later managed the club to its first ever major cup final in 1949. He has been described as "an indelible Leicester City great"

paragraph: He also holds the (joint) club record at Leicester for the most goals in a single game, scoring six goals in a 7–0 victory over Port Vale on Christmas Day 1924 (this record was later equalled by Arthur Chandler, who scored the opening goal before Duncan hit his six against Port Vale).

paragraph: Former Leeds United and England manager Don Revie, who played under Duncan at Leicester, dedicates an entire chapter of his autobiography to Duncan, entitled "My Debt to Johnny Duncan" claiming "Until you have heard Johnny Duncan talk about Soccer then your Football Education is sadly lacking."

paragraph: Section::::Early career.

paragraph: He started his senior football career with Lochgelly United in the wartime Eastern League during World War I, scoring a hat-trick against Dunfermline Athletic on his debut. After one year he moved on to Raith Rovers.

paragraph: Section::::Leicester City.

paragraph: A skilful ball player, Duncan, who could play either as a wing half or an inside forward, Duncan began his career under Peter Hodge at Raith Rovers, where towards the end of his career at Raith, he played alongside the legendary inside-forward Alex James. Hodge was again re-united with Duncan after he signed Duncan, along with his brother Tom, for Leicester in 1922, where he was considered the lynch-pin around which Hodge's plans in progressing the club and instilling the Scottish passing style into the club's culture were built. After Hodge left in 1926, Duncan insisted the club stayed loyal to Hodge's passing style as the club reached its halcyon years of league success.

paragraph: Duncan's influence on the side was described by a column in The Sunday Express at the end of the 1928–29 season: "The best football team have been Leicester City, who have approached nearer to the pre-war standard than any other in individuality and constructive cleverness. I attribute this largely to the influence of their Scottish captain, John Duncan, who has insisted that the way to success was by expert use of the ball than by helter-skelter methods."

paragraph: Duncan was effectively sacked as a player from the club in 1930 after the club refused to allow him to run a local public house, the "Turks' Head," while contracted as a player.

paragraph: He ran the Turks' Head with his wife Agnes until he died in 1966. It became known as one of the sportsmens pubs of Leicester.

paragraph: He had three children Jean, David and Jenny.

paragraph: He also won one cap for the Scotland national football team, scoring against Wales in the 1926 British Home Championship. He later had a brief spell at Leicester based amateur side Solus FC.

paragraph: His influence as club captain was later transferred to management as he re-joined Leicester City once more, this time as manager after the end of World War II. He managed the club to their first ever major cup final, the 1949 FA Cup Final, which they lost to Wolverhampton Wanderers. The run to the cup final included an incredible 5–5 draw with Luton Town in the 5th round, in which Jack Lee managed to head home a Mal Griffiths corner in injury time of extra-time (this was Lee's fourth goal of the match) to equalise and send the game to a replay. Duncan missed the goal as he was on his knees with his back to the pitch, praying in desperation.

paragraph: He was sacked a few months later in October 1949 after another disagreement with the club's board, this time over transfer policy, specifically over a dispute in which he stated that he didn't believe in close season deals, as he couldn't judge a player's current form.

paragraph: He signed forward Don Revie for Leicester. Revie went on to marry his niece Elsie and eventually became one of the biggest names in English football as manager of Leeds United and then the England team.

paragraph: Duncan continued to run the Turk's Head pub in Leicester for several decades after his playing career ended, including while still as manager.

paragraph: Charles Brasch

paragraph: Charles Orwell Brasch (27 July 1909 – 20 May 1973) was a New Zealand poet, literary editor and arts patron. He was the founding editor of the literary journal "Landfall".

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

paragraph: Brasch was born in Dunedin, the son of lawyer Hyam Brasch (who later changed his name to Henry Brash) and Helene Fels, a member of the prominent Hallenstein family of clothing merchants. He began writing poetry at Waitaki Boys' High School and entered St John's College, Oxford, in 1927 where he gained an 'ignominious third' in Modern History (to his father's disappointment). His contemporaries at Oxford included W. H. Auden and Cecil Day-Lewis.

paragraph: Section::::England, Egypt and travel.

paragraph: After Oxford Brasch returned to Dunedin via Italy in 1931. Finding that working in the family firm (Hallensteins) "does not suit" he returned to England in 1932, and to three archaeological seasons in Egypt at Tel el Amarna between Cairo and Luxor. England again in 1936, Dunedin in 1938 then he traveled by rail with Ian Milner east across America. He taught at the Abbey School for "problem children" at Little Missenden in the Chiltern Hills and looked after his sister Lel (Leslie) who died after three years of illness in 1939.

paragraph: Section::::World War II in Intelligence.

paragraph: In May 1940 Brasch acknowledged that he was no longer a pacifist, and registered for military service on 6 July. In February 1941 he was rejected by an Army medical because of emphysemia and started Firewatching duties. On 27–28 June 1941 he did his last firewatch. Through Colin Roberts, a student friend from Oxford, he obtained a Foreign Office job at the intelligence centre at Bletchley Park (BP) on 27 June 1941, taking the oath at BP on 3 July.

paragraph: Brasch worked in the Italian section under Frederic Catty and Frank Hammond in the redbrick Elmers School building; he learnt Romanian and his position was described as Head of Romanian and Italian. His salary increased over the war from £350 to £450 plus a £60 war bonus. He described BP as Kafkaesque; with rivalry and indecisiveness they could not replace an old unsafe stove until it set the room on fire. One wit declared that BP only needed a few eunuchs to resemble the last years of the Byzantine court. He shared lodgings with Roberts at the nearby village of Soulbury.

paragraph: In March 1942 the unit moved to the Diplomatic building in Berkeley Street, London. He moved into Lawn Road Flats, where Denis Glover had a bedroom when on leave from the Navy. He resigned from the FO from 31 August 1945, and arranged to return to New Zealand in December.

paragraph: Section::::Landfall.

paragraph: Brasch returned to New Zealand in 1946, settling in Dunedin. He had held the ambition of publishing 'a substantial literary journal' in New Zealand for at least 15 years, and in 1947 he founded "Landfall", remaining its editor for the next 20 years.

paragraph: In later life he was a substantial patron of arts and letters, and was involved in the establishment of the Robert Burns Fellowship at the University of Otago. He was also a patron and contributor to the Otago Museum; in this he followed in the footsteps of his grandfather, Willi Fels. His significant library, which reflected his interest in literature, art, history and religion, was donated to the University of Otago Library in 1973. The wide and eclectic nature of his reading allowed him to achieve his own substantial output. His archives are housed at the Hocken Collections, where over 400 artworks gifted by him can also be seen.

paragraph: Christina von Stommeln

paragraph: Blessed Christina of Stommeln (24 July 1242 – 6 November 1312), also known as "Christina Bruso" and "Christina Bruzo", was a Roman Catholic mystic, ecstatic, and stigmatic.

paragraph: Christina is believed to have been born on July 24, 1242, to farmers Heinrich and Hilla Bruso in the village of Stumbeln (now Stommeln), northwest of Cologne. At the age of five, she began to experience religious visions. When she was twelve her parents wished to arrange her marriage, but she left home without their permission and joined a Beguine community in Cologne. At the age of fifteen, she manifested stigmata on her hands, feet, and head. This, combined with other mystic experiences, convinced others in the community that she was insane and she was treated with contempt, leading her to return to her home village in 1267.

paragraph: On her return to Stommeln, she was taken in by the parish priest, Johannes. While in his care, Christina met Peter of Dacia, a Dominican, who became a lifelong friend. Following Peter's death in 1288, Christine's mystic experiences ceased. She left the priest's household and moved into a small cloister, where she lived a quiet life until her death at the age of 70 on November 6, 1312. She was first buried in the Stommeln churchyard, but her remains have been moved several times: first into the church, then in 1342 to Nideggen, and finally in 1569 to the Propsteikirche (Provost's Church) in Jülich, where a monument to Christine still exists. Her relics survived the destruction of the Provost's Church during the Allies' air raid on Jülich on November 16, 1944.

paragraph: Pope Pius X beatified her on 8 November 1908 and her liturgical feast was affixed to the date of her death.
