paragraph: Joseph Kasongo

paragraph: Joseph-Georges Kasongo (25 December 1919 – 19 October 1990) was a Tanganyikan-born Congolese lawyer, businessman, and politician who served as the first President of the Chamber of Deputies of the Republic of the Congo (today the Democratic Republic of the Congo). He later held office as a deputy prime minister and as a senator.

paragraph: Kasongo was born in 1919 in Dar es Salaam to a family with ties to the Maniema region in the Belgian Congo. Following his education he took up work in business and in the indigenous courts in Stanleyville. In the late 1950s he became a leader in Patrice Lumumba's Mouvement National Congolais (MNC) party and worked to expand its influence. In 1960 the Congo became independent and Kasongo was elected to the Chamber of Deputies, shortly thereafter becoming its president. Lumumba became Prime Minister, but later that year he was removed from office as the country became embroiled in a political crisis. Parliament was also adjourned. Kasongo remained loyal to Lumumba and demanded that Parliament reconvene. In July 1961 he was reelected President of the Chamber, serving in the post until March 1962. The following year he became Deputy Prime Minister for Economic Coordination under the leadership of Cyrille Adoula, but was then ejected from the MNC. Kasongo formed a splinter group from the party, and in 1966 he became a member of the Senate. He died in 1990 while trying to reestablish the MNC.

paragraph: Section::::Biography.

paragraph: Joseph Kasongo was born on 25 December 1919 in Dar es Salaam, Tanganyika. His family was part of the Kusu tribe of the Tetela ethnic group and came from the village of Lukonge, Aluba chieftaincy, Kibombo Territory, Maniema, Belgian Congo. Due to his family's Muslim background, Kasongo was a firm supporter of anti-clericalism and opposed the Catholic Church's political influence in the Congo. He conducted three years of business studies and four years of legal studies. Afterwards he worked as a businessman and an advocate in the indigenous courts of Stanleyville, Belgian Congo. The latter included work as a court secretary. Kasongo was also a member of several mutual organisations and trade associations. Around 1950 he served as president of the Élisabethville chapter of the Association des Batetela, a Tetela ethnic organisation. In 1955 the population of the Mangobo district appealed to the colonial authorities to appoint him to the communal council, which they refused. The following year Kasongo was elected to the central committee of the Cercle Belgo-Congolais and served as its assistant secretary. In February 1958 he was appointed bailiff on the Stanleyville Territorial Tribunal by the local territorial administrator.

paragraph: Section::::Biography.:Entry into politics.

paragraph: In 1957 the Belgian colonial administration instituted reforms that permitted municipal elections and the formation of political parties. The following year Kasongo's friend, Patrice Lumumba, created the Mouvement National Congolais (MNC), a nationalist organisation, and tasked him and several others to form a central committee. On 15 May 1959 Kasongo was elected president of the Orientale Province's chapter of the MNC. Proving himself to be an effective propagandist, he successfully expanded the MNC's influence throughout the region. Together with other party officers, he oversaw the establishment of branches in Stanleyville's communes, neighboring towns, and some locales in Kivu Province. In October he participated in a nationalist congress in Stanleyville. In December Kasongo was elected communal councilor of Mangobo, 776 votes to his opponent's 146. The civil unrest that had surfaced during the year caused the Belgian government to arrange a round table conference in Brussels to discuss the political future of the Congo. Kasongo was invited to attend as a delegate for the MNC but threatened to boycott the conference unless Lumumba, who had been arrested and imprisoned, was allowed to go as well. The Belgian government eventually gave in and both attended the conference. Kasongo served on the conference's bureau. The Belgians and Congolese reached an agreement whereby the Congo would be granted independence on 30 June 1960. General elections for a newly-constituted Parliament took place in May.

paragraph: Section::::Biography.:Government career.

paragraph: In the May elections Kasongo won a seat in the Chamber of Deputies on an MNC ticket as a representative from the Haut-Congo constituency with 2,429 preferential votes. On 21 June the Chamber selected him to be its first president, beating Jean Bolikango in a vote 74 to 58. He presided over the joint-session of Parliament that elected the Congo's first head of state and the country's formal independence ceremony that took place on 30 June 1960 at the Palais de la Nation, which included Prime Minister Lumumba's controversial Congolese Independence Speech. Kasongo also served as the chairman of the Chamber's constitutional commission. On 9 July he went to Stanleyville to assist in overseeing the Africanisation of the local army garrison. Later that month he traveled with Lumumba to the Headquarters of the United Nations in the United States.

paragraph: On 5 September the President of the Congo, Joseph Kasa-Vubu, dismissed Lumumba, but Lumumba refused to leave office. Kasongo played a key role in attempting to reconcile the two to avoid a political impasse. On 14 September Joseph-Désiré Mobutu launched a coup that removed Lumumba from power and adjourned Parliament. In October Kasongo was made a member of a commission assembled by Lumumba tasked with managing his relations with the United Nations Operation in the Congo. Kasongo reached an agreement in mid-December to work under the new leadership of Joseph Iléo. He then attended a Francophone-African conference in Brazzaville where foreign diplomats attempted to provide mediation between the Congolese factions. However, by January 1961 Mobutu's government of commissioners was foundering due to financial problems and Kasongo angrily demanded that Lumumba be restored to the premiership. When proposals were made to have the dispute over governance settled in a round table discussion, Kasongo rejected the idea and demanded for Parliament's powers to be restored. Instead of attending the Round Table Conference of Léopoldville later that month he sent the participants a memorandum. On 17 January Lumumba was killed in Katanga; his death was announced in February.

paragraph: In mid-February the United Nations established a program by which potential political targets could seek military protection in designated facilities. Kasongo was the first person to accommodate himself in the service. Deputy Prime Minister Bolikango personally requested him to return to his residence under government protection, but Kasongo chose to remain with his family in a guarded facility. In June 1961 he went to Stanleyville to meet with his political allies. Parliament reconvened the following month at Lovanium University under the temporary chairmanship of Kasongo. The deputies who had supported Lumumba coalesced into the Bloc Nationaliste, and he acted as one of its leaders. On 24 July the Chamber of Deputies held its first independent session and reelected Kasongo President, 61 votes to 57. He served in the role until March 1962. On 18 December he levied an interpellation against the Minister of Public Function concerning the politicisation of government services. Three days later he filed another against the Minister of Transport, requesting an explanation for the mismanagement of state transportation companies.

paragraph: On 17 April 1963 Kasongo was made Deputy Prime Minister with responsibility for the Economic Coordination portfolio in Cyrille Adoula's new government. That same month the MNC central committee, under the control of radical Christophe Gbenye, ejected Kasongo from the party. Kasongo subsequently formed his own wing of the MNC. He criticised the old party leadership for forgoing electoral organisation and strategy in favor of advocating dissent and rebellion. On 24 January 1966 he was elected by the Maniema provincial assembly by a margin of 3 votes to serve as a senator. The Senate confirmed his co-optation on 11 March. At the end of July 1967 he was appointed second vice president of the Association pour la Promotion et la Défense des Intérêts des Commerçants Congolais-Ngaliema committee. Kasongo died on 19 October 1990 in Bunia while working to revitalise the MNC.

paragraph: Matthäus Prätorius

paragraph: Matthäus Prätorius (c.1635–c.1704) was a Protestant pastor, later a Roman Catholic priest, a historian and ethnographer.

paragraph: Prätorius is thought to have been born in Memel (Klaipėda). He probably grew up speaking both German and Lithuanian, which helped him when preaching to the ethnic Lithuanians in Ducal Prussia. His work about Prussia and its culture, "Deliciae Prussicae, oder Preussische Schaubühne", resembles the work of Christoph Hartknoch, with whom he collaborated. Prätorius' work provides much more ethnographic information regarding local Lithuanians and Old Prussians. It was only published partially, in 1871. A complete edition, in seven volumes, with original German text and Lithuanian translation, is under preparation in Lithuania.

paragraph: In 1701, having converted from Protestantism to Roman Catholicism, he appealed against an ongoing case of witch-hunt. He died in Wejherowo (Weyherststadt).

paragraph: In "Orbis Gothicus" and "Mars Gothicus" sustained that Prussia was the original land of Goths and that Goths can be identified as being "prussians, lithuanians, samogitians and curonians [latvians]".

In South Carolina, her parents were sharecroppers, growing cotton and tobacco, and when they moved to New York, her father worked as a cab driver and her mother as a domestic aid then a nurse. When Cummings was in her teens, her family relocated to Queens.

paragraph: Section::::Career.

paragraph: Cummings received a bachelor's degree in dance and education from New York University and a master's in fine arts from Lehman College. She also studied at the Martha Graham School of Contemporary Dance.

paragraph: She was a founding member of Meredith Monk's company "The House". Cummings appeared in Monk's 1973 opera "Education of the Girlchild" and Yvonne Rainer's 1976 film "Kristina Talking Pictures". By 1978 she created her own art collective, Cycle Arts Foundation, which promoted interdisciplinary collaboration. Based in New York City, Cummings went on to perform her work at venues including The Kitchen, New York Live Arts, Danspace Project, 92Y, and others. She also toured widely across Africa and Asia, as well as across the country to venues including the Jacob's Pillow Dance Festival where she was an artist in residence. Throughout her career, Cummings collaborated with artists including Jamaica Kincaid, Jessica Hagedorn and Ishmael Houston-Jones.

paragraph: She taught at universities, including Wesleyan, Cornell University, and New York University.

paragraph: Cummings died from pancreatic cancer on August 30, 2015 in her home at Manhattan, New York City at the age of 70.

paragraph: Section::::Select Works.

paragraph: Section::::Select Works.:"Chicken Soup" (1981).

paragraph: One of Cummings's most well-known works was "Chicken Soup", a 1981 solo based on her childhood memories of her grandmother in the kitchen, featuring music by Meredith Monk, Collin Walcott, and Brian Eno. In 1982 when Ishmael Houston-Jones created the Parallels series at Danspace, "Chicken Soup" was the hit.

paragraph: In a review of a 1983 performance of the work, the "New York Times" observed,

paragraph: "All she did was stand beside a shopping bag, sit in a kitchen chair, scrub the floor and dance with a frying pan. But she plunged the viewer into a remembered time and place, when the ladies of the neighborhood sat around a kitchen table as real as any Walker Evans photographed and talked of 'childhood, friends, operations, death and money.'"

paragraph: In a more recent article on Ishmael Houston-Jones, Joan Acocella of "The New Yorker," wrote of the piece,"In 1981 Blondell Cummings made a dance, “Chicken Soup,” in which, while scrubbing a floor on her hands and knees—an act of exemplary realism—she would repeatedly break off, rear up, and shake, in jagged, convulsive movements, as if she were in a strobe light. Then, with no acknowledgement of this interruption, she would go back, serenely, to scrubbing the floor. This strange back and forth made the piece very interesting psychologically: the floor-scrubbing so homey and soapy and nice (Cummings wore a white dress), the convulsions so violent and weird. Was this woman happy doing this domestic task, or did she hate it so much that she was going crazy?"The National Endowment for the Arts designated "Chicken Soup" an "American Masterpiece" in 2006. As part of this designation, the work was reconstructed and re-staged at the Joyce Theater in 2007 by the dance company Urban Bush Women.

paragraph: Section::::Select Works.:"Women in the Dunes" (1995).

paragraph: Commissioned by the Japan Society, this piece explores points of comparison and contrast between the experiences of an African-American woman and a Japanese woman. This piece was a collaboration with Junko Kikuchi and was based on the 1962 novel by Kōbō Abe titled "The Woman in the Dunes."

paragraph: Section::::Awards.

paragraph: Cummings received awards from the National Endowment for the Arts, The New York Foundation for the Arts, the U.S.-Japan Friendship Commission, and received Guggenheim and Robert Rauschenberg fellowships.

paragraph: Section::::Legacy.

paragraph: Cummings was included in the documentaries "Retracting Steps: American Dance Since Postmodernism" (1988) and the PBS series "Free to Dance: The African American Presence in Modern Dance" (2001).

paragraph: A testament to her reputation in the dance scene and performance community, Cummings was on the Bessie Award Selection Committee in for many years.

paragraph: Section::::Legacy.:"We Wanted a Revolution: Black Radical Women", "1965–85".

paragraph: Cummings is included in this major group exhibit curated by Catherine Morris of the Brooklyn Museum's Elizabeth A. Sackler Center for Feminist Art and Rujeko Hockley, currently a curator at the Whitney Museum of American Art.

paragraph: Ernest Chaplet

paragraph: Ernest Chaplet (1835 in Sèvres – 1909 in Choisy-le-Roi) was a French designer, sculptor and ceramist. His works are held in international public collections such as the Musée d'Orsay, Paris.

paragraph: Having worked in industry for over 30 years, he opened an atelier with the sculptor Albert-Louis Dammouse in 1882, producing stoneware often influenced by Japanese designs and Chinese prototypes. From 1875 he worked with Félix Bracquemond. Chaplet became head of the Parisian workshops of Charles Haviland of Haviland & Co. in 1882, working in stoneware and porcelain for them. He worked on ceramics with Paul Gauguin from 1886; together they created some 55 stoneware pots with applied figures or ornamental fragments, multiple handles, painted and partially glazed. He later worked with Jules Dalou and Auguste Rodin.

paragraph: From 1887 Chaplet took up permanent residence at Choisy-le-Roi, often collaborating with the ceramics manufacture Alexandre Bigot. He won acclaim at the 1900 International Exhibition, but lost his sight in 1904, after which his son Emile Lenoble took over his studio. He committed suicide in 1909.

paragraph: Jacqui Mulville

paragraph: Jacqueline Mulville is a British bioarchaeologist and Professor of Archaeology at Cardiff University. Mulville is a field archaeologist whose research focuses on osteoarchaeology, human and animal identities, and island archaeologies concentrated on Britain.

paragraph: Section::::Education and career.

paragraph: Archaeology was not the initial career choice of Mulville, who undertook a BSc in Biology at Imperial College London.

paragraph: Volunteer work however marked the start of her career in archaeology, and she worked as a field archaeologist for English Heritage on sites including Beeston Castle, and as a Research Assistant for English Heritage at the University of Cambridge examining evidence from Roman and later periods from Chelmsford (Caesaromagus) and Colchester (Camulodonum).

paragraph: She undertook a PhD at the University of Sheffield, under the supervision of Paul Halstead, being awarded a doctorate in 1995 for her thesis 'Milking, Herd Structure, and Bone Chemistry: An Evaluation of Archaeozoological Methods for the Recognition of Dairying'. This analysed the identification of milking, using domestic dairy cattle and St Kilda Soay Sheep as study populations.

paragraph: Mulville then worked for the West Yorkshire Archaeology Service, recording material from West Heslerton, and as a commercial archaeologist at the University of Sheffield, before returning to English Heritage at Birmingham University to analyse a medieval assemblage from Castle Mall Norwich. At Southampton University she was a Research Assistant for English Heritage, examining Saxon and Neolithic sites. Mulville excavated at South Uist in the Outer Hebrides, and was a co-director of excavations at Cladh Hallan. This investigated the only two bodies known to have been mummified among the early tribes of Europe, although Mulville suggested the practice may have been more common than we know, and said that the finds at Cladh Hallan raised more questions than they answered.

paragraph: Mulville became a senior research fellow at the University of Oxford, working sites including Glaston and Fiskerton. After this she taught briefly at University College Winchester before moving in 2002 to Cardiff University where she replaced Professor John Evans on his retirement.

paragraph: She founded Guerilla Archaeology, a Cardiff-based outreach organisation of archaeologists, scientists and artists.

paragraph: Section::::Awards.

paragraph: Dan Beddoe

paragraph: Dan Theophilus Beddoe (16 March 1863 – 26 December 1937) was a Welsh tenor, particularly known for his performances in oratorio over a career spanning 50 years.

paragraph: Section::::Biography.

paragraph: Beddoe was born in Aberdare in the Cynon Valley of Wales to Gwenllian Theophilus and Thomas Beddoe. At the age of 19 he won the Gold Medal and First Prize in the National Eisteddfod of Wales and for a while taught singing in a school in Llwynypia. He then went to the United States for further study in Cleveland with John Underner and Pittsburgh under J. T. Davies.

paragraph: After hearing him in a concert, Walter Damrosch engaged him as the tenor soloist for the Berlioz Requiem which he was conducting at Carnegie Hall in 1903—Beddoe's official oratorio debut. The following year he toured with Damrosch and the New York Philharmonic singing the title role in concert performances of "Parsifal". He subsequently toured widely in the US and Britain, and frequently appeared with the Oratorio Society of New York. His made his debut with the society in 1905 as the tenor soloist in the US premiere of Richard Strauss's "Taillefer" conducted by Damrosch.

paragraph: From 1919 to 1935 Beddoe taught at the Cincinnati Conservatory of Music, but continued his performance career as well. In 1933, at the age of 70 he sang as the tenor soloist in Handel's Messiah with the Oratorio Society of New York. "The New York Times" critic wrote:

paragraph: The years have dealt kindly with Mr. Beddoe's voice, as time might wear silver coin bright if thin, and the supreme loveliness of his "Comfort ye" was not dimmed.

paragraph: Beddoe retired in 1935 after he was injured in a car accident in Cincinnati. He died suddenly in New York City at the age of 74 while he and his wife Mary were visiting their son. He was survived by his wife, their daughter Gladys Vermilya, and their son Don Beddoe, who was appearing in "Father Malachy's Miracle" at the St. James Theatre at the time of his father's death.

paragraph: Section::::Recordings.

paragraph: Beddoe recorded 23 songs between 1911 and 1928. These include:

paragraph: Gaius Julius Caesar (proconsul)

paragraph: Gaius Julius Caesar ("ca." 140 BC – 85 BC) was a Roman senator, a supporter of his brother-in-law, Gaius Marius, and the father of Gaius Julius Caesar.

paragraph: Caesar was married to Aurelia Cotta, a member of the Aurelii and Rutilii families. They had two daughters, known as Julia Major and Julia Minor, and a son, Gaius, who was born in 100 BC. He was the brother of Sextus Julius Caesar (consul in 91 BC) and the son of Gaius Julius Caesar.

paragraph: Caesar's progress through the "cursus honorum" is well known, although the specific dates associated with his offices are controversial. According to two "elogia" erected in Rome long after his death, Caesar was a commissioner in the colony at Cercina, military tribune, quaestor, praetor, and proconsul of Asia. The dates of these offices are unclear. The colony is probably one of Marius' of 103 BC. Broughton dated the praetorship to 92 BC, with the quaestorship falling towards the beginning of the 90s BC. Brennan has dated the praetorship to the beginning of the decade.

paragraph: Caesar died suddenly in 85 BC, in Rome, while putting on his shoes one morning. Another Caesar, possibly his father, had died similarly in Pisa. His father had seen to his education by one of the best orators of Rome, Marcus Antonius Gnipho. In his will, he left Caesar the bulk of his estate, but after Marius's faction had been defeated in the civil war of the 80s BC, this inheritance was confiscated by the dictator Sulla.

paragraph: Billy Doctrove

paragraph: Billy Raymond Doctrove (born 3 July 1955 in Marigot, Dominica) is a Dominica former international football referee, but is best known as an international cricket umpire.

paragraph: Section::::Career as a FIFA referee.

paragraph: During his time as a referee Doctrove took charge of several international matches, including a World Cup qualifier between Guyana and Grenada in 1996. Despite retiring from international refereeing in 1997 he is still a keen follower of world and English football, supporting Liverpool F.C. and being nicknamed Toshack, after the ex-Liverpool striker. He is also President of the Dominican Football Referees Association, and President of the Windward Islands Cricket Umpires Association.

paragraph: After retiring from football refereeing in 1997 Doctrove was able to concentrate more on his career as a first-class umpire. In April 1998 the West Indies Cricket Board appointed Doctrove to his first One Day International (ODI), the match between West Indies and England at Kingstown, St. Vincent. In that match he stood alongside Steve Bucknor.

paragraph: He was appointed to his first test match, the third test between West Indies and Pakistan at the Antigua Recreation Ground, in May 2000.

paragraph: In 2002, he became a member of the International Panel of ICC Umpires. He stood on that panel for four years during which time he umpired a large number of ODIs and the occasional test. The highlights of his time on the International Panel were an appointment to the 2004 Champions Trophy, and the U19 World Cup in Sri Lanka in early 2006, where he stood in the final. In April 2006 he was promoted to the Elite Panel of ICC Umpires. Doctrove was appointed to the final of the 2010 ICC World Twenty20 in the West Indies.

paragraph: Section::::Rise to international umpiring.:England vs Pakistan fourth test.

paragraph: On 20 August 2006, the fourth day of the fourth test between England and Pakistan at The Oval, he and fellow umpire Darrell Hair ruled that the Pakistani team had been involved in ball tampering. They awarded five penalty runs to England and offered them a replacement ball. Play continued until the tea break, but the Pakistani players refused to take the field thereafter. When the Pakistan team refused to return to the field the umpires removed the bails and declared England winners by forfeiture. The Pakistani team did take to the field 26 minutes later, but Hair and Doctrove refused to continue the game stating that the game had already ended with a Pakistani forfeiture the moment the bails were removed.

paragraph: Section::::International Umpiring statistics.

paragraph: As of 7 June 2012:

paragraph: Section::::Retirement from professional umpiring.

paragraph: On 7 June 2012, Doctrove announced his retirement from all ICC umpiring roles due to a family bereavement back in his home country of Dominica. The 56-year-old stood in 38 Tests, 112 one-day internationals and 17 T20 internationals. In a statement, he said, "It has been an incredible 14 years for me as an international umpire and I've enjoyed every moment of it."
