paragraph: Igor Youskevitch

paragraph: Igor Youskevitch (, ) (13 March 1912 – 13 June 1994) was a ballet dancer and a choreographer of Russian-Ukrainian origin, famous as one of the greatest male ballet dancers of the 20th century, as a master of the classic style, e.g., in "Afternoon of a Faun", and as a dance partner to Alicia Alonso.

paragraph: Section::::Early years.

paragraph: Born in the village of Pyriatyn, Poltava Oblast, Ukraine (then part of Imperial Russia), Youskevitch was the son of a judge. The family fled the Russian Revolution and in 1920 settled in Belgrade. Youskevitch was educated in Belgrade and graduated with a degree in engineering from Belgrade University.

paragraph: He did not begin his ballet training until the age of twenty although prior to that he was active in a Slavic athletic organisation and received early training as a gymnast. In 1932, the Yugoslavian ballerina Zenia Grunt saw him at a tournament and persuaded him to take up dancing as a career. He came to dance relatively late in life, however, his talent led to rapid promotion, and in 1932 he made his first appearance on the Paris stage.

paragraph: He studied first with Belgrade teacher Elena Poliakova. His later teachers included Olga Preobrajenska, Anatole Vilzak and Alexandra Fedorova. He studied ballet for an additional two years in Paris before joining "Les Ballets de Paris". In 1937 he joined "Le Ballet Russe de Monte Carlo" under the direction of Leonid Massine as first dancer, touring with them in the late-1930s.

paragraph: Section::::Australia.

paragraph: Youskevitch came to Australia as a leading dancer with the "Monte Carlo Russian Ballet" on their 1936–1937 tour. He danced all the leading roles during the tour, scoring particular success with Helene Kirsova in "Le Carnaval".

paragraph: Section::::United States.

paragraph: In 1944, Youskevitch joined the U.S. Navy and became an American citizen. After the war, he struggled to return to shape for dancing and began a successful career in the United States in 1946 by joining the American Ballet Theatre in New York. In the late 40s, he began to partner with Alicia Alonso, with whom he had his greatest renown.

paragraph: He appeared in films and on television. His unique ability to blend athleticism with artistry is vividly captured in his aerialist sequences for Gene Kelly's pioneering 1956 ballet film "Invitation to the Dance". Thereafter he returned to "Le Ballet Russe de Monte Carlo" as artistic director and dancer

paragraph: He retired from dance in the 1960s, and operated a ballet school in New York with his wife, dancer Anna Scarpova, which he ran from 1962 to 1980. In 1971, he accepted an appointment to the dance program at the University of Texas at Austin, and remained there until 1982.

paragraph: He was the Artistic Director of New York International Ballet Competition (NYIBC) from 1983 to 1994. In that capacity he enriched the dance world by teaching and inspiring the NYIBC dancers from all over the world, passing on the secrets of his art, acquired over many years.

paragraph: His daughter, Maria Youskevitch, was also a dancer. She was a soloist with American Ballet Theatre and danced with Maryland Ballet. She currently teaches at American Repertory Ballet's Princeton Ballet School.

paragraph: Cyril Asquith, Baron Asquith of Bishopstone, PC (5 February 1890 – 24 August 1954) was an English barrister and judge who served as a Lord of Appeal in Ordinary from 1951 until his death three years later.

paragraph: The youngest child of British prime minister H. H. Asquith by his first wife, Cyril Asquith followed the steps of his father and eldest brother into a distinguished academic career at Balliol College, Oxford, before serving in the British Army during the First World War. After the war he practiced, with modest success, at the common law bar until 1938, when he was appointed to the High Court. He was promoted to the Court of Appeal in 1946 and to the House of Lords in 1951. The same year he was offered the Lord Chancellorship by Winston Churchill, but declined the post.

paragraph: Asquith was widely regarded as possessing one of the finest minds on the bench, although his rapid rise, after an unremarkable career at the bar, was the cause for some adverse comment. According to the "Oxford Dictionary of National Biography", his career was an "undistinguished—although extraordinarily lucky" one.

paragraph: Section::::Early life and career.

paragraph: Born in Hampstead, London, Cyril Asquith was the fourth son and youngest child of the barrister H. H. Asquith, later Prime Minister and subsequently Earl of Oxford and Asquith, from his first marriage to Helen Kelsall Melland. His mother passed away in 1891, a year after his birth.

paragraph: Known to his friends as Cys, Asquith was educated at Summer Fields School, Winchester College, where he was a scholar, and Balliol College, Oxford, where he was a foundation scholar. Like his father and his brother, Raymond. Asquith obtained first-class honours in Classical Moderations in 1911 and in "literae humaniores" in 1913. At Oxford he won the Hertford, Craven, Ireland, and Eldon scholarships. In 1913, while still an undergraduate, he was elected a fellow of Magdalen College, Oxford. Naturally reserved, he did not follow his brothers Raymond and Herbert, both former presidents of the Oxford Union, in becoming involved with the Union.

paragraph: At the outbreak of the First World War in 1914, he was commissioned into the 1/16th (County of London) Battalion, The London Regiment (Queen's Westminster Rifles) as a second lieutenant, eventually reaching the rank of captain. From 1916 to 1918 Asquith, who was deemed medically unfit for service abroad, was employed by the Ministry of Munitions, serving for a time on the British War Mission in the United States.

paragraph: After the war, Asquith was called to the bar at the Inner Temple in 1920, and was a pupil in the chambers of William Jowitt who, as Lord Chancellor, recommended Asquith's promotions to the Court of Appeal and the House of Lords. Asquith's practice, in the common law courts, was not especially large. Between 1925 and 1938 he was Assistant Reader in Common Law to the Council of Legal Education. He took silk in 1936, was appointed Recorder of Salisbury in 1937, and was elected bencher of the Inner Temple in 1939. He was elected to the Liberal Party Council in 1936.

paragraph: Section::::Judicial career.

paragraph: Asquith was appointed a Justice of the High Court on 28 March 1938 to fill the vacancy left by the appointment of Mr Justice Porter to the House of Lords, He was assigned to the King's Bench Division and received the customary knighthood three days later. His appointment caused some surprise at the bar and bench. In particular, the Lord Chief Justice, Lord Hewart, felt that he had not been properly consulted about the appointment. Hewart assigned Asquith a number of high-profile criminal trials at the Old Bailey, where mistakes would adversely affect his reputation. However, as a judge, Asquith was especially successful in the trial of criminal cases, where his ability to explain the law to the jury was valuable, though he was occasionally criticized as being too lenient in his sentences.

paragraph: During the Second World War, Asquith provided advice to King George VI on his power to refuse a dissolution in 1939. In 1940, he presided over the trial "in camera" of two German spies at the Old Bailey and sentenced them to death under the Treachery Act. He also chaired a number of tribunals and commissions: he was the High Court judge attached to the General Claims Tribunal in 1939, chairman of the Advisory Committee on the internment of enemy aliens in 1940, chairman of the Commission on Higher Education in Colonies in 1943–44, and chairman of the Royal Commission on Equal Pay in 1944–46.

paragraph: After the war, following the death of Lord Justice MacKinnon in 1946, Asquith was appointed a Lord Justice of Appeal and was sworn of the Privy Council, on the recommendation of Lord Jowitt. On 23 April 1951, again on Jowitt's recommendation, Asquith was appointed a Lord of Appeal in Ordinary and created a life peer as Baron Asquith of Bishopstone, of Bishopstone in the County of Sussex. In 1952 he was appointed to the Law Reform Committee and as chairman of the Political Honours Scrutiny Committee.

paragraph: In October 1951, Asquith was offered the Lord Chancellorship by Winston Churchill. Lacking in political experience and in poor health, the offer came as a surprise to him. Although his family pleaded with him to accept the post, he declined it; to his son-in-law John Stephenson he wrote that Churchill "mustn't be saddled with a lame duck on the Woolsack". In selecting Asquith Churchill might have been influenced by the fact that Asquith's father had appointed him to his first Cabinet post, or by their shared membership of The Other Club, where they met frequently. (Brendan Bracken told Harold Macmillan that Churchill had "set his heart on getting Cys Asquith as Lord Chancellor, chiefly because he wished his last administration to hold both an Asquith and a Lloyd George.") Eventually, the post was given to Lord Simonds, a law lord whom Churchill had never met.

paragraph: Asquith remained on the bench until his sudden death at his London home on 24 August 1954. His funeral was held at Bishopstone Church, Sussex on 28 August. A memorial service, attended by Churchill, was held at Temple Church on 5 October.

paragraph: Asquith was the author of "Trade Union Law for Laymen" (1927), a Latin translation of poems from "A Shropshire Lad" (1930), and "Life of Herbert Henry Asquith" (1932), his father's authorized biography, which he co-authored with J. A. Spender. He also contributed many unsigned leaders and letters to "The Times".

paragraph: Section::::Assessment.

paragraph: Asquith's intellect was highly regarded by his contemporaries. However, assessments of his performance as a judge were more mixed, though it was said that "the higher he went the better he became". Lord Chancellor Simon reportedly thought that Asquith "possessed the most distinguished mind of any judge on the Bench". In 1946, recommending Asquith's promotion to the Court of Appeal, Simon's successor Lord Jowitt wrote to Clement Attlee that:"If he were to be appointed a member of the Court of Appeal, he would be one of a team, and under the tutelage of the Master of the Rolls he might be made to do some work … I recognise that his promotion would be regarded by the Bench and Bar as a reward for singularly unmeritorious services. On the other hand, I still believe he has the best brain of any of the King's Bench judges … I should be thankful to get rid of him from the King's Bench Division, as would many, many of the senior judges."Asquith was a conservative judge. Famously, in "Candler v. Crane, Christmas & Co." (1951), in response to Lord Denning's critique in his dissent that "there were the timorous souls who were fearful of allowing a new cause of action", Asquith replied that "If this relegates me to the company of timorous souls, I must face that consequence with such fortitude as I can command".

paragraph: As to his impact, Robert Stevens thought that:"perhaps because of his nature and his natural conservatism, he had virtually no impact in the Lords … It was an undistinguished period in the House of Lords as a final court of appeal; Asquith did nothing to ameliorate it."However, his judgments, which combined his knowledge of the law and his literary interests, were said by Stevens to possess a certain distinction.

paragraph: Section::::Family.

paragraph: At St Margaret's, Westminster on 12 February 1918, Asquith married Anne Stephanie Pollock (27 April 1896 – 1964), daughter of Sir Adrian Donald Wilde Pollock, Chamberlain of the City of London. Through her father she was the great-granddaughter of the judge Sir Frederick Pollock, 1st Baronet. They had two sons and two daughters. His younger daughter, the Hon Frances Rose Asquith (b. 1925), married in 1951 John Stephenson, later a Lord Justice of Appeal.

paragraph: Shemon Bar Sabbae

paragraph: Mar Shimun Bar Sabbae (, died Good Friday, 345) was an Assyrian Bishop of Seleucia-Ctesiphon, from Persia, the "de facto" head of the Church of the East, until his death. He was bishop during the persecutions of King Shapur II of the Sasanian Empire of Iran, and was executed along with many of his followers. He is revered as a saint in various Christian communions.

paragraph: Section::::Biography.

paragraph: Shimun Bar Sabbae was born the son of a fuller. In 316, he had been named coadjutor bishop of his predecessor, Papa bar Gaggai, in Seleucia-Ctesiphon (now al-Mada'in). He was later accused of being a friend of the Roman emperor and of maintaining secret correspondence with him. On that basis, Shapur II ordered the execution of all Christian priests. Because they would not convert to Zoroastrianism, Shimoun was beheaded with several thousands, including bishops, priests, and faithful. These include the priests Abdella (or Abdhaihla), Ananias (Hannanja), Chusdazat (Guhashtazad, Usthazan, or Gothazat), and Pusai (Fusik), Askitrea, the daughter of Pusai, the eunuch Azad (Asatus) and several companions, numbered either 1150 or 100. Sozomen, a historian of the 5th Century maintained that the numbers registered were 16,000 of the martyrs. Another historian, Al-Masoudy from the 10th century, held that there were killed around 200,000 Assyrians. They are commemorated on:

paragraph: Joseph Toal

paragraph: Joseph Anthony Toal (born 13 October 1956) is the Roman Catholic Bishop of Motherwell.

paragraph: On 29 April 2014 he was named by Pope Francis as the fifth Bishop of Motherwell, having served as Bishop of Argyll and the Isles since 2008. Born in Roy Bridge, Inverness-shire, Scotland on 13 October 1956, he was ordained a priest of the Roman Catholic Diocese of Argyll and the Isles at St Columba's Cathedral in Oban on 10 July 1980.

paragraph: After ordination Toal served in Daliburgh and Ardkenneth on South Uist, Campbeltown and Benbecula before being appointed spiritual director at the Royal Scots College in Salamanca, Spain, in 1999. He was then vice rector before becoming rector of the College.

paragraph: Toal was appointed bishop of the Diocese of Argyll and the Isles by the Holy See on 16 October 2008 and consecrated to the episcopate on 8 December 2008. The principal consecrator was Cardinal Keith O'Brien, Archbishop of St Andrews & Edinburgh. The principal co-consecrators were Archbishop Faustino Sainz Muñoz, Apostolic Nuncio to Great Britain and Bishop Ian Murray, Bishop Emeritus of Argyll & the Isles.

paragraph: Toal has been given the names of complainants who allege Cardinal Keith O'Brien committed predatory sex against them. Toal stated to "The Observer" newspaper, "It's been hard listening to what's being said, but it's important we hear what they're saying and the gravity of the situation. If I can help in some way, I will."

paragraph: On 29 April 2014, Toal was appointed by Pope Francis as the fifth Bishop of Motherwell. He was installed on Monday 23 June 2014 in Our Lady of Good Aid Cathedral, Motherwell.

paragraph: Section::::Controversy.

paragraph: Matthew Despard complained about what he called a culture of homosexual bullying within the Catholic Church and alleged that higher-ranking clergy ignored or facilitated abuse. Toal arranged for letters to be given to Despard's parishioners strongly critical of Despard and later suspended him. Toal condemned Despard for questioning his authority. The overwhelming majority of parishioners walked out during a Mass which Toal held in Despard's former church. Parishioner, Geraldine Penches who was loudly applauded by others in the congregation described Matthew Despard as, "a very honest man" adding, "This is more scandal to rock the Catholic church which has to be hushed up. Because Father tells the truth he is removed from his priestly duties. We the people are the church, not the bishops." There are complaints that Despard was disciplined without being represented and a petition calling for his reinstatement got over 1,000 signatures.

paragraph: Toal maintained the accusations Despard made were false and defamatory.

paragraph: Prince Luís of Orléans-Braganza (1878–1920)

paragraph: Prince Luís of Orléans-Braganza (26 January 1878 – 26 March 1920), was a claimant to the former throne of the Empire of Brazil. He was born in Brazil, the second son of Prince Gaston, Count of Eu, and Isabel, Princess Imperial of Brazil.

paragraph: He was exiled along with his family as the result of the 1889 coup d'état that resulted in the formation of the republic. In 1908, the year he married, his older brother Pedro renounced his claim to succeed his mother in her claim to the imperial throne, leaving "Dom" Luís as her heir. In this role he worked with monarchists in Brazil in several attempts to restore the monarchy. At the outbreak of World War I he enlisted as an officer with the British Armed Forces and saw action in Flanders where he contracted a virulent form of rheumatism that caused his death at the age of 42. His efforts on behalf of the Allies of World War I saw him decorated by Belgium, France and Great Britain.

paragraph: Section::::Childhood.

paragraph: Luís was born at Petrópolis on 26 January 1878, to Prince Gaston d'Orléans, Count of Eu, and Isabel, Princess Imperial of Brazil. His maternal grandparents were Pedro II, Emperor of Brazil, and Princess Teresa Cristina of the Two Sicilies while his paternal grandparents were Prince Louis, Duke of Nemours, and Princess Victoria of Saxe-Coburg and Gotha. He was named after his paternal grandfather. His name in full was Luís Maria Filipe Pedro de Alcântara Gastão Miguel Rafael Gonzaga. As the second oldest son of the heiress to the imperial throne of Brazil, he was not expected to one day ascend to the throne.

paragraph: From a young age he demonstrated a strong and determined personality. While on a trip to Europe with his family, an earthquake occurred on 23 February 1887, and while his older brother Pedro appeared very nervous and cried, Luís simply stood calm and showed no emotions. The differences between him and his oldest brother were well-known. His father wrote in a letter dated February 1889 that Pedro was "so incapable and careless in this" [playing pool with Pedro II] "as in everything else." Although Pedro was gentle and likeable, he did not like to study and was often clumsy, while Luís had a strong will, was active and apparently intelligent.

paragraph: Gaston affirmed in another letter, written in March 1890, that "Baby Pedro [was] always notable for laziness and ineptness," while "Luís does the identical course work all by himself with admirable distinction and capacity." The prince very early showed the interest in literature that would result in his authorship of several books about his travels around the world, such as "Dans les Alps", "Tour d´Afrique", "Where four empires meet" and "Under the Southern Cross".

paragraph: Luís was always impelled to action thanks to his restless spirit that would take him in his childhood to sports and as an adult to politics. At the height of the campaign for the abolition of slavery in Brazil, he and his brothers published a newspaper in favor of abolitionism in the palace of Petrópolis. When the coup that replaced the monarchy with the republic occurred on 15 November 1889, Isabel preferred to send her children to Petrópolis, where later Luís would remember that "locked up in the palace, they had left us during two long days in the most complete ignorance of what was happening out there" until they were sent back to their parents and then left for forced exile. As they had not been able to take anything with them, except for a few personal objects that they could carry with their hands, the imperial family saw itself in a poor financial situation that was only made worse by Pedro II's refusal to accept the five thousand contos of Réis offered initially by the new republican government. In December 1889, the government stopped the family's income from Brazil. They had no alternative but to accept help from their few friends and from Gaston's father.

paragraph: In 1890, fifteen-year-old Pedro, thirteen-year-old Luís, and their younger brother Antônio (nicknamed "Totó"), moved along with their parents to the outskirts of Versailles. After the death of Pedro II in 1891 the monarchists made various efforts to restore the monarchy in Brazil. However, none of the imperial family provided any kind of aid or even words of explicit support. Luís's older brother, Pedro, reached the age of majority in 1893, but he had no capacity or desire to assume the monarchist cause. In the same year he left for Vienna, capital of the Austro-Hungarian Empire, to study in the military school at Wiener Neustadt. According to his own mother it was "clear that he must do something and a military career seems to us the only one he should follow". Luís and his brother Antônio followed their older brother at the same military school.

paragraph: Section::::Adulthood.

paragraph: By 1896, Pedro was in love with Austro-Hungarian noblewoman Elisabeth "Elsi" Dobržensky. Meanwhile, Luís was ambitious and active, eager to make his mark on the world. He was a mountaineer, and climbed Mont Blanc in September 1896. He traveled to southern Africa, central Asia and India, and later wrote and published travelogues of his experiences. Luís was seen by his parents as the only member of the Imperial family capable of helping the monarchist movement in Brazil.

paragraph: After he returned to France in 1907 he planned an ambitious project to defy the decree banishing the imperial family from Brazil by travelling to Rio de Janeiro. His sudden arrival, widely discussed in newspapers, created an uproar in the old imperial capital. It also caused difficulties for Brazilian politicians by placing the imperial family at the center of attention and many Brazilians went to welcome him. However, Luís was prevented from disembarking and was not allowed to set foot on his native land by the republican government. Nonetheless, he sent his mother a telegram saying: "Hindered of disembarking by the Government, I greet the Redeemer of Slaves on the bay of Guanabara in the eve of May 13." Some time later he wrote about his experiences on this trip in the book "Under the Southern Cross" ("Sob o cruzeiro do sul") published in 1913.

paragraph: Luís became engaged to his cousin Maria Pia of Bourbon-Two Sicilies, a granddaughter of a brother of Luís's maternal grandmother, Teresa Cristina. Meanwhile, his brother Pedro, then the heir to Isabel, desired to marry Elizabeth Dobržensky. His mother disapproved of the marriage because Elizabeth was part of the minor nobility rather than royalty. Isabel agreed to accept the marriage with the condition that Pedro would renounce his position as heir. Pedro had no interest in becoming emperor and so he renounced his rights to the succession on 30 October 1908.

paragraph: I Prince Pedro de Alcântara Luís Filipe Maria Gastão Miguel Gabriel Rafael Gonzaga of Orléans and Braganza, having maturely reflected, have resolved to renounce the right that, by the Constitution of the Empire of Brazil, promulgated on March 25, 1824, accords to me the Crown of that nation. I declare, therefore, that by my free and spontaneous will I hereby renounce, in my own name, as well as for any and all of my descendants, to all and any rights that the aforesaid Constitution confers upon us to the Brazilian Crown and Throne, which shall pass to the lines which follow mine, conforming to the order of succession as established by article 117. Before God I promise, for myself and my descendants, to hold to the present declaration.Cannes October 30, 1908 signed: Pedro de Alcântara of Orléans-Braganza

paragraph: This renunciation was followed by a letter from Isabel to royalists in Brazil:November 9, 1908, [Castle of] EuMost Excellent Gentlemen Members of the Monarchist Directory,With all my heart I thank you for the congratulations upon the marriages of my dear children Pedro and Luís. Luís' took place in Cannes on day 4 with the brilliance that is desired for so solemn an act in the life of my successor to the Throne of Brazil. I was very pleased. Pedro's shall take place next on day 14. Before the marriage of Luís he signed his resignation to the crown of Brazil, and here I send it to you, while keeping here an identical copy. I believe that this news must be published as soon as possible (you gentlemen shall do it in the way that you judge to be more satisfactory) in order to prevent the formation of parties that would be a great evil for our country. Pedro will continue to love his homeland, and will give all possible support to his brother. Thank God they are very united. Luís will engage actively in everything with respect to the monarchy and any good for our land. However, without giving up my rights I want that he be up to date on everything so that he may prepare himself for the position which with all my heart I desire that one day he will hold. You may write to him as many times as you may want to so that he shall be informed of everything. My strength is not the same as it once was, but my heart is still the same to love my homeland and all those who are so dedicated to us. I give you all my friendship and confidence,

paragraph: The marriage of Luís and Maria Pia was celebrated on 4 November at Cannes, and that of Pedro and Elizabeth ten days later at Versailles. From the union of Luís and Maria Pia three children were born: Pedro Henrique, who became the direct successor to Princess Isabel and Head of the Imperial House of Brazil after her death in 1921; Luís Gastão, and Pia Maria. Isabel did not take long to reveal her opinion about her grandchildren and wrote in a letter in 1914: "I am sending enclosed a photograph of myself with my grandchildren by Luís. Pedro Henrique is growing continually and is a very intelligent child. His grandparents have a particular love for their darling little grandchildren."

paragraph: Section::::Political activity.

paragraph: With the renunciation of the throne by his brother, Luís could finally collaborate effectively with the Brazilian monarchic movement, assuming clearly his position as heir to the throne (after his mother) and trying to assume the leadership of the restoration campaign. His efforts to reverse the damage caused by the imperial family's inertia was valued by their supporters, and in 1909 he presented a political manifest to the Brazilian monarchists with the intent to restart the stalled campaign. He had some success as he was able to congregate coreligionists in several states of Brazil. Some of the letters from the prince reveal his plans to restore the monarchy, such as the one written for Martim Francisco de Andrada III:

paragraph: "it costs me so much to be here with crossed arms, when I think that a handful of determined men would be enough to pull out our Fatherland from the claws of the adventurers who explore it".

paragraph: "I still do not know what will be your attitude in the matter of the candidacies. As for me, I judge both the candidates 'undesirable'; but as we have to choose, I would pick Rui "[Barbosa]", whose partisans represent the element more reasonable and with bigger prestige in the country. It seems to me that we could use to advantage of the moment for an agreement with the members of this group in order to obtain a common effort for the restoration just after the presidential elections. What are your thoughts on it?"

paragraph: The prince was active from 1907 through to his death in 1920, and argued in favor of federalism, obligatory military service and an improvement in the quality of life for laborers. In the first case, he was in favor of a greater degree of decentralization and economical and political freedom for the Brazilian states. In the second, he refuted the old custom of enlistment to the armed forces based on individuals coming only from particular sectors of society in favor of a truly professional military force formed by elements of all parts of society. The third, and more important case, was his proposal for a monarchy supported by social legislation that could make better conditions for Brazilian laborers possible.

paragraph: Luís defended ideas that were well ahead of his time and the necessity to guarantee worthy conditions of subsistence for the Brazilian workers would only be observed thirty years later during the dictatorship of Getúlio Vargas. At the beginning of the twentieth century, neither the government nor Brazilian politicians admitted even the possibility of such basic rights as vacations, right to strike, and weekly maximum hours of work, amongst others. He said that "we monarchists must convince the laborers that the truth is that in the case of a restoration their situation could only improve". The progressive vision of Luís made him a target for accusations of being a "socialist" and a "radical" when, in reality, his intent was to hinder the work force from adhering to socialism, communism, or even anarchism.

paragraph: Section::::World War I and final years.

paragraph: The start of World War I in August 1914 and the invasion of France by Germany made it possible for Luís to once more prove his idealism and activism as, in his own words, he was a "soldier heart and soul". He and his brother Antônio wanted to defend the homeland of their ancestors. As it was forbidden by law for them to serve in the French armed forces they both enlisted in the British armed forces as officers. Luís joined the army while Antônio served as an air force pilot.

paragraph: While fighting in the trenches of Flanders in 1915 Luís contracted an aggressive type of bone rheumatism that left him very weak and incapable of walking. The prince was invalided out of active service seriously ill and taken to safety in order to be able to recover from the disease. As a consequence of his actions in the conflict and for his bravery, Luís received several decorations: Military medal of the Yser, from King Albert I of Belgium; Legion of Honour, in the degree of knight, and the Cross of War from the French government; the British War Medal, the Victory Medal and Star from the Great Britain. The serious illness contracted in the trenches proved resistant to all treatments and his health gradually deteriorated until he died on 26 March 1920. As his mother lived until 1921, her successor in pretense to the throne of Brazil was her grandson, Pedro Henrique, Luís's son.

paragraph: Section::::Legacy.

paragraph: Prince Luís is largely unknown to Brazilians today. He is remembered for his role as a claimant to the Brazilian throne beginning in 1908, and he was publicly involved in the campaign for restoring the monarchy. He continued to take an active role in monarchist movements until the First World War.

paragraph: His support for the social welfare of working-class Brazilians, at a time when it was considered a "police case" by the rulers of the First Brazilian Republic, earned him the epithet "perfect prince" or, in the words of King Albert II of Belgium: "man as few, Prince like none".

paragraph: In 1918, the Portuguese-Brazilians Rodolfo Smith de Vasconcelos, and his son, Jaime Smith de Vasconcelos, published the "", a work that documents the Brazilian nobility. The authors dedicated the work to "His Imperial Highness the Sire Dom Luiz de Orléans-Braganza".

paragraph: The Municipality of Pimenta Bueno, in the State of Rondônia (Brazil), honored Dom Luís and the entire Brazilian imperial family in 2010 by renaming one of its streets ""Príncipe Dom Luiz de Órleans e Bragança"".

paragraph: Chana Orloff

paragraph: Chana Orloff (12 July 1888 – 16 December 1968) was a French-Israeli Art deco and figurative art sculptor.

paragraph: Section::::Biography.

paragraph: Chana Orloff was born in Starokonstantinov Russian Empire (now Ukraine). She immigrated to Ottoman Palestine in 1905 and settled in Jaffa, where she found a job as a cutter and seamstress. Zvi Nishri (Orloff), the pioneer in physical education in Israel, was her brother.

paragraph: She joined Hapoel Hatzair workers movement. After five years in the country, she was offered a teaching position in cutting and dressmaking at Gymnasia Herzliya. She went to Paris to study fashion but chose art instead, enrolling in sculpture classes at the Académie Russe in Montparnasse. In 1916, she married Ary Justman, a Warsaw-born writer and poet. The couple had a son, but Ary died of influenza in the epidemic of 1919. When the Nazis invaded Paris, Orloff fled to Switzerland with her son and the Jewish painter Georges Kars. In February 1945, Kars committed suicide in Geneva, after which Orloff returned to Paris, to find that her house had been ransacked and the sculptures in her studio destroyed.

paragraph: Section::::Artistic career.

paragraph: In Paris, Orloff became friendly with other young Jewish artists, among them Marc Chagall, Jacques Lipchitz, Amedeo Modigliani, Pascin, Chaim Soutine, and Ossip Zadkine. In 1913, she exhibited in the Salon d'Automne. After the establishment of the State of Israel, Orloff began spending an increasing amount of time there. The Tel Aviv Museum of Art held an exhibition of 37 of her sculptures in 1949. She remained in Israel for about a year in order to complete a sculpture of David Ben-Gurion, "The Hero Monument" to the defenders of Ein Gev and "The Motherhood Monument" in memory of Chana Tuckman who died during the 1947–1949 Palestine war. In addition to monuments, Orloff sculpted portraits of Israeli Prime Minister David Ben-Gurion and future Prime Minister Levi Eshkol; the architects Pierre Chareau, and Auguste Perret; painters Henri Matisse, Amedeo Modigliani, Pablo Picasso, and Per Krohg; and the poets Hayyim Nahman Bialik, and Pierre Mac Orlan.

paragraph: Georges Poujouly

paragraph: Georges Poujouly (20 January 1940 in Garches, Hauts-de-Seine – 28 October 2000 in Villejuif, Val-de-Marne) was a French actor who gained international acclaim as a child for his performance in the award-winning film "Forbidden Games". In the 1950s, he appeared in a number of other high-profile films, notably "Les Diaboliques", "And God Created Woman" and "Ascenseur pour l'échafaud". His later career was spent mainly in television, where he specialised in voiceover work.

paragraph: At the age of 11, Poujouly was chosen by film director René Clément for the role of Michel Dollé, befriender of the orphaned Paulette (Brigitte Fossey), in the World War II drama "Forbidden Games" ("Jeux interdits"). The film was not greatly successful on its original release in France, but struck a chord with audiences and critics in other countries and went on to win numerous awards, including the 1952 Academy Award for Best Foreign Language Film. "Forbidden Games" is considered a classic of French cinema, and the spare, haunting performances of Poujouly and Fossey among the most notable of screen performances by child actors.

paragraph: In 1952, Poujouly played the role of Michel le Guen in André Cayatte's "We Are All Murderers" ("Nous sommes tous des assassins"). He played smaller parts in Henri-Georges Clouzot's celebrated 1955 suspense film "Les Diaboliques" and Roger Vadim's "And God Created Woman" ("Et dieu...créa la femme") in 1956. A more substantial role, as a car thief turned killer, came in 1958 in the Louis Malle-directed thriller "Ascenseur pour l'échafaud", with Jeanne Moreau and Maurice Ronet.

paragraph: Section::::Later career.

paragraph: From the 1960s, Poujouly worked mainly in television, with film appearances limited to small roles in such as "Vice and Virtue" (1963) and "Is Paris Burning?" ("Paris brûle-t-il?") (1966). He appeared in a number of TV serials and moved into voice acting.

paragraph: Between 1959 and 1962 Poujouly was the voice of Tintin in two animated series based on Hergé's books. In later years his voiceover credits included the Michael Douglas character Steve Keller in the French TV version of "The Streets of San Francisco" and Merry in the 1978 animated version of "The Lord of the Rings".

paragraph: Section::::Death.

paragraph: Poujouly's last-known credit is "Robinson et compagnie", a 1991 animated French language film version of "Robinson Crusoe". Little is known of the last years of his life. He died of cancer, aged 60, on 28 October 2000.

paragraph: Louie Dampier

paragraph: Louis Dampier (born November 20, 1944) is an American retired professional basketball player.

paragraph: A 6-foot-tall guard, Dampier is one of only a handful of men to play all nine seasons in the American Basketball Association (ABA) (1967–1976), all with the Kentucky Colonels. He also was one of just two players to play all nine ABA seasons with the same team; the other was Byron Beck of the Denver Rockets, later renamed the Nuggets.

paragraph: After the ABA–NBA merger in 1976 Dampier also played three seasons (1976–1979) in the National Basketball Association (NBA) with the San Antonio Spurs. Dampier was inducted as a member of the Naismith Memorial Basketball Hall of Fame in 2015.

paragraph: Section::::High school.

paragraph: Dampier was born in Indianapolis and played at Southport High School in the suburb of Southport. He also played in an annual all-star game featuring top high-school players from Indiana and Kentucky.

paragraph: Section::::University of Kentucky.

paragraph: Dampier was a two-sport athlete at the University of Kentucky, playing baseball as well as basketball. Playing under the legendary coach Adolph Rupp, Dampier, Tommy Kron and Pat Riley led Rupp's Runts to the 1966 NCAA championship game, where they lost to Texas Western College (now the University of Texas at El Paso) in a watershed game for college basketball. This game spearheaded the end of racial segregation in college basketball.

paragraph: During his three years at Kentucky (at the time, freshmen were ineligible to play varsity sports), Dampier was a two-time All-American and three-time All-Southeastern Conference selection. He was also named Academic All-SEC twice and Academic All-American once. Upon graduation from Kentucky in 1967, Dampier scored 1,575 points, at the time third-most in school history behind only Cotton Nash (1,770) and Alex Groza (1,744).

paragraph: Section::::Pro basketball.

paragraph: In 1967 the Cincinnati Royals (now the Sacramento Kings) selected Dampier in the fourth round of the NBA Draft and the Kentucky Colonels selected him in the ABA draft. Dampier eventually signed with the Kentucky Colonels of the fledgling ABA and teamed with Darel Carrier to form the most explosive backcourt duo in the league. In each of the ABA's first three seasons, both Dampier and Carrier averaged at least 20 points per game. Both were three-point field goal specialists (the ABA had used the three-point field goal from its inception), but especially Dampier who made 500 during a three-year stretch: a record 199 during the 1968–69 season, 198 in 1969–70 and 103 in 1970–71. At the conclusion of the ABA's history, Dampier made a career-record 794 3-point field goals.

paragraph: He also finished first all-time in the ABA in games played (728), minutes played (27,770), points scored (13,726), and assists (4,044). During the 1970–71 season, he hit 57 consecutive free throws for what was then a pro record (ABA or NBA). Seven times, he was named an ABA All-Star. He was a unanimous choice for the ABA Top 30 team. He played on the Colonels' 1975 ABA championship team, which featured a later Kentucky standout, Dan Issel, as well as 7'2" center Artis Gilmore.

paragraph: After the 1976 season, the ABA ceased operations with Kentucky and two other teams folding. Dampier was selected by the San Antonio Spurs (one of the four teams to join the NBA in the ABA–NBA merger) in the 1976 ABA Dispersal Draft. Playing mostly as a role player behind George Gervin, Dampier averaged 6.7 points in 232 NBA games.

paragraph: Dampier later served as an assistant coach with the Denver Nuggets.

paragraph: Several divisions in the 21st century semi-pro ABA were initially named after stars of the old ABA, including Dampier. The league was later divided into the Red, White, and Blue Divisions—the colors of the balls used in both the old and new ABA. Today, the league is divided into 12 regions based geographically.

paragraph: Dampier was inducted into the Naismith Memorial Basketball Hall of Fame in September 2015.

paragraph: Vespasia Polla (also known as Vespasia Pollia, born c. 15 BC, fl 1st century AD) was the mother of the Roman emperor Vespasian, and grandmother to the emperors Titus and Domitian. Polla came from an equestrian family at Nursia.

paragraph: Suetonius identifies her father as the Vespasius Pollio who was a three-time military tribune and a "praefectus castrorum". Her brother rose as high as the praetorship. The Vespasii were regarded as an old family of great renown, and Suetonius notes a site called "Vespasiae" where many of their monuments had been built. This site was located on a mountaintop near the sixth milestone on the road between Nursia and Spoletum (present-day Spoleto).

paragraph: Vespasia married a tax collector Titus Flavius Sabinus, and survived him. Their daughter Flavia Vespasia died in her infancy. One son, also named Titus Flavius Sabinus, served as consul in 47. After her husband died she never remarried.

paragraph: Sabinus achieved the senatorial rank, but Vespasian put off doing so. Suetonius (Life of Vespasian, 2.2) states that:

paragraph: Francina Margaretha van Huysum

paragraph: Francina Margaretha van Huysum (1707 – 1789), was a Dutch 18th-century flower painter from the Northern Netherlands.

paragraph: Section::::Biography.

paragraph: She was born in Amsterdam as the daughter of Jan van Huysum and probably assisted him with his work. In the 20 page biography of her father written by Jan van Gool, the only woman mentioned is Margaretha Haverman who Van Gool claimed had been allowed to become his only pupil "under false pretenses". This phrase was meant to indicate that Van Huysum was willing to let female relatives of family and friends assist him (presumably because they could not sign their own names) but avoided the help of male pupils for fear of revealing his technique and creating competition. It is unclear therefore whether he allowed his daughter or his sister Maria to assist him.

paragraph: According to the RKD Francina's works have been formerly attributed to her father Jan and later to her uncle Michiel and were only in 2006 re-attributed to her by Sam Segal. The works definitely attributed to her are a pair of pendant paintings dated 1729 and now in the collection of the Fitzwilliam Museum. A copy of these pendant paintings with hopelessly overpainted signatures, are now considered autograph and are in the Dulwich Picture Gallery. It is this undated pair of period copies which were documented by John Smith in 1835 as by Jan van Huysum and whose attribution was repeated in 1928 by Cornelis Hofstede de Groot.

paragraph: Sam Segal discovered a note about a pair of pendants purchased by Cornelis Ploos van Amstel in 1661 by "F.M. van Huyzum" which were as good as "J. van Huyzum" in an auction sale. The copyist Oswald Wijnen later made watercolour copies of these pendants that are now in the Teylers Museum:

paragraph: Margaretha Haverman

paragraph: Margaretha Haverman (bapt. 28 October 1693 – after 1739) was an 18th-century flower painter from the Northern Netherlands.

paragraph: Section::::Biography.

paragraph: She was born in Breda as the daughter of Daniël Haverman, a captain in the Danish army who settled in Amsterdam to become director of a boys' school there.

paragraph: In the 20 page biography of Jan van Huysum written by Jan van Gool, the only woman he mentioned is Haverman who Van Gool claimed had been allowed to become Van Huysum's only pupil. Van Huysum later believed she became his pupil under false pretenses and that he had been "sweet-talked" into taking her on by her father the schoolmaster. Haverman became an embarrassment to Van Huysum when she was admitted to the prestigious Académie royale de peinture et de sculpture in 1722, because she began to sell her works and he was very defensive of his own public image and he was afraid her clever copies would bring him discredit. This story indicates that Van Huysum was willing to let his female relatives assist him but avoided the help of male pupils for fear of revealing his technique.

paragraph: Though her work is regularly mentioned in estate inventories, today only two signed flower paintings by her are known, "A Vase of Flowers (1716)" is in the Metropolitan Museum of Art and the other in the Statens Museum for Kunst.

paragraph: Margaretha Haverman married 25 July 1721 the architect Jacques de Mondoteguy (d1739) in Amsterdam, with whom she moved to Paris, where she was accepted as a member in the Academie the next year. In 1723 she was thrown out again after claims that her acceptance work was in fact the work of her former master Van Huysum.

paragraph: Aristid Lindenmayer

paragraph: Aristid Lindenmayer (17 November 1925 – 30 October 1989) was a Hungarian biologist. In 1968 he developed a type of formal languages that is today called L-systems or Lindenmayer Systems. Using those systems Lindenmayer modelled the behaviour of cells of plants. L-systems nowadays are also used to model whole plants.

paragraph: Lindenmayer worked with yeast and filamentous fungi and studied the growth patterns of various types of algae, such as the blue/green bacteria "Anabaena catenula". Originally the L-systems were devised to provide a formal description of the development of such simple multicellular organisms, and to illustrate the neighbourhood relationships between plant cells. Later on, this system was extended to describe higher plants and complex branching structures.

paragraph: Section::::Career.

paragraph: Lindenmayer studied chemistry and biology at the University of Budapest from 1943 to 1948. He received his Ph.D. in plant physiology in

paragraph: Henrietta Müller

paragraph: Frances Henrietta Müller (1846 – 4 January 1906) was a Chilean-British women's rights activist and theosophist.

paragraph: Section::::Biography.

paragraph: Müller was born in Valparaíso, Chile to William Müller, a German businessman, and Maria Henrietta Müller. As a child, she received little in the way of formal schooling but spoke six languages and was admitted to Girton College at the University of Cambridge in 1873. It was there that she became involved in the feminist movement, helping to found women's trade unions and the Women's Printing Society with Emma Paterson.

paragraph: Müller left Cambridge in 1878 and in the same year stood for election to the London School Board. Her campaign was successful, and she became one of the first female members of the board. During her term, she convinced the board to employ female workers—"cannily pointing out that this would save money since women were paid less than men"—and was involved with Annie Leigh Browne and Mary Stewart Kilgour in establishing the first women's residence hall (College Hall) in Bloomsbury before leaving the board in 1885.

paragraph: In 1883 Müller, and others, founded the Society for Promoting the Return of Women as Poor Law Guardians, believing that work in the Poor Law system was best suited to women. She was an executive member of the National Vigilance Association, which opposed the sexual exploitation of women and supported the closure of brothels, but resigned in 1888 when the organisation described pamphlets about contraception as "vicious literature"; Müller believed that contraception could empower women. She was also on the executive committee of the National Society for Women's Suffrage and was a supporter of the temperance movement.

paragraph: Müller wrote numerous articles for the "Westminster Review" which discussed the empowerment of unmarried women and criticised contemporary marriage. In 1888 she founded her own periodical, "The Women's Penny Paper" (later titled "The Woman's Signal"), the first women's newspaper in London; she edited the paper under the "nom de plume" of Helena B. Temple.

paragraph: By 1891, Müller had mostly withdrawn from politics and feminist activism, and joined the Theosophical Society. The next year she travelled to India as a lecturer on behalf of the society and became known as "the renowned woman-suffragist". After meeting Swami Vivekananda at the Parliament of the World's Religions in 1893 she edited a number of his books, including "Lectures from Colombo to Almora", published in 1897. She adopted a Bengali son in 1895. She later moved to China and then the United States, where she died in 1906 in Washington, D.C. Her estate was left to her sister Eva McLaren, also a women's rights activist, with no mention of her adopted son in her will.

paragraph: John F. Douthitt

paragraph: John Franklin Douthitt (active 1880–1908) was an American artist, decorator, art dealer and publisher, founder of the John F. Douthitt Company, the American School of Art and Tapestry Company, and the Douthitt Gallery, all in New York City.

paragraph: Section::::Career.

paragraph: Douthitt was born in Alton, Illinois on 22 January 1856 and was orphaned at an early age. He went into business in 1880 as the manager of the Sauahbrah Oriental Entertainments, a Burmese act with which he toured the world. It was during this tour that he became interested in art and design.

paragraph: On returning to the United States he set up in the art and decorating business. Although specialising in painted tapestry, he provided all kinds of decorating and interior design services to wealthy families in New York. The tapestry school attached to his workshop was run by Mrs A. L. Blanchard.

paragraph: The Douthitt tapestry showroom at 286 Fifth Avenue was once one of the attractions for art lovers visiting New York. Work was collaborative, as described by a visitor in 1891: "he employs one to paint the heads of cupids, or figures, another to paint the bodies, another to paint the drapery, and still another to paint the backgrounds, or cloud effects, and in this way, by combining the best work of a number of artists, he can produce works of art that are unapproachable in their perfection".

paragraph: In 1891 Douthitt was commissioned to furnish the mansion of Edward Lawrence Keyes, whose wife Sarah was a noted New York hostess, at 930 Fifth Avenue.

paragraph: Douthitt was also active as a publisher, in 1892 bringing out William Richard Bradshaw's science fiction novel "The Goddess of Atvatabar" with illustrations by Cyrus Durand Chapman, and in 1896 his own "Manual of Art Decoration" (second edition 1902). In May 1894 he was publicizing the claims of the cyclist Thomas Stevens to have found a genuine "wonder-working Yogi" in India with whom he would soon be touring the United States.

paragraph: In August 1894 Douthitt was profiled in the "Art Trades Supplement" to "The Decorator and Furnisher" as "one of the best known decorators in the United States".

paragraph: The John F. Douthitt Company went into receivership in 1908, after losing $50,000 in the Gilsey House, a luxury hotel that eventually closed in 1911 after lengthy legal disputes concerning the lease.

paragraph: In an apparent attempt to recover his fortune, Douthitt became involved in a scheme of J. P. Persch to sell bonds in an Independent Brewing Company that turned out to be fraudulent.

paragraph: Sam Myers

paragraph: Samuel Joseph Myers (February 19, 1936 – July 17, 2006) was an American blues musician and songwriter. He was an accompanist on dozens of recordings by blues artists over five decades. He began his career as a drummer for Elmore James but was most famous as a blues vocalist and blues harp player. For nearly two decades he was the featured vocalist for Anson Funderburgh & the Rockets.

paragraph: Section::::Biography.

paragraph: Myers was born in Laurel, Mississippi. He acquired juvenile cataracts at age seven and was left legally blind for the rest of his life, despite corrective surgery. He could make out shapes and shadows, but could not read print at all; he was taught Braille.

paragraph: He acquired an interest in music while a schoolboy in Jackson, Mississippi, and became skilled enough at playing the trumpet and drums that he received a nondegree scholarship from the American Conservatory of Music (formerly the American Conservatory School of Music) in Chicago. Myers attended school by day and at night frequented the nightclubs of the South Side.

paragraph: There he met and was sitting in with Jimmy Rogers, Muddy Waters, Howling Wolf, Little Walter, Hound Dog Taylor, Robert Lockwood, Jr., and Elmore James. Myers played drums with Elmore James on a fairly steady basis from 1952 until James's death, in 1963, and is credited on many of James's historic recordings for Chess Records. In 1956, Myers wrote and recorded what was to be his most famous single, "Sleeping in the Ground", a song that has been covered by Blind Faith, Eric Clapton, Robert Cray, and many other blues artists; it was also featured on Bob Dylan's "Theme Time Radio Hour" show on "Sleep".

paragraph: From the early 1960s until 1986, Myers worked clubs in and around Jackson and across the South in the (formerly) racially segregated string of venues known as the Chitlin' Circuit. He also toured the world with Sylvia Embry and the Mississippi All-Stars Blues Band.

paragraph: In 1986, Myers met Anson Funderburgh, from Plano, Texas, and joined his band, the Rockets. Myers toured all over the U.S. and the world with the Rockets, enjoying a partnership that endured until the time of his death, from complications due to surgery for throat cancer, on July 17, 2006, in Dallas, Texas. Just before Myers died, he toured as a solo artist in Sweden, Norway and Denmark, with the Swedish band Bloosblasters.

paragraph: Section::::Legacy.

paragraph: That same year, the University Press of Mississippi published Myers's autobiography, "Sam Myers: The Blues is My Story". The writer Jeff Horton, whose work has appeared in "Blues Revue" and "Southwest Blues", chronicled Myers's history and delved into his memories of life on the road.

paragraph: Section::::Awards.

paragraph: Myers and the Rockets collectively won nine W. C. Handy Awards, including three awards in the category Band of the Year and the 2004 award for Best Traditional Album of the Year. In 2005, Myers's album "Coming from the Old School" was nominated in the category Traditional Blues Album of the Year.

paragraph: In January 2000, Myers was inducted into the Farish Street Walk of Fame in Jackson, Mississippi, an honor he shares with Dorothy Moore and Sonny Boy Williamson II. In 2006, just months before Myers died, the Governor of Mississippi presented him with the Governor's Award for Excellence in the Arts, and he was named the state's Blues Ambassador by the Mississippi Arts Commission.
