paragraph: Luiz Melodia

paragraph: Luiz Carlos dos Santos (7 January 1951 – 4 August 2017), more commonly known as Luiz Melodia, was a Brazilian actor, singer and songwriter of MPB, rock, blues, soul and samba.

paragraph: Son of samba artist and songwriter Oswaldo Melodia (from whom he inherited his stage name), he grew up in the slum district of São Carlos, in the neighbourhood of Estácio, often referred to as the "Cradle of Samba". Since 1977, he has been married to singer, songwriter and producer Jane Reis and is the father of rap artist Mahal Reis (1980). His first LP, "Pérola Negra", was released in 1973. He reached the finals of the Festival Abertura musical competition, hosted by Rede Globo, with his track "Ébano".

paragraph: Over the last few decades, Melodia released a number of albums and performed extensively in Brazil and Europe. In 1987, he played in Châteauvallon, France, and in Bern, Switzerland. In 1992, he performed at the III Folcalquier Music Festival, in France, and, in 2004, at the Montreux Jazz Festival, on the banks of Lake Geneva, where he appeared at the Stravinsky Auditorium.

paragraph: He performed in a number of European countries, including Germany, the UK, Denmark, France, Switzerland and Portugal. He played on the fourth solo album by Titãs member Sérgio Britto, released in September 2011 (Purabossanova). In 2015, Melodia won the 26th Brazilian Music Award for Best Artist.

paragraph: Section::::Biography.

paragraph: Luiz Carlos dos Santos was born in the region of Estácio, Rio de Janeiro, on 7 January 1951. The only son born to Oswaldo and Eurídice, he first discovered music through his father, who always played at home: "I would play his viola, trying out a few chords and always observing. He never let me touch the 4-string viola, which was a real relic, very beautiful. That was where I learned to play."

paragraph: Despite his musical affinity from a young age, Luiz ended up having to go against his father's wishes, who dreamed of seeing him graduate: He began his musical career in 1963 alongside vocalist Mizinho, while working as a printer, salesperson, clerk and musician in nightclubs. In 1964, he formed the band ‘Os Instantâneos’, alongside Manoel, Nazzareno and Mizinho. After abandoning his schooling, Melodia spent his teenage years songwriting and playing hits from the contemporary MPB and Bossa Nova scene, with the band Os Instantâneos, formed with a few friends. He was soon noticed by frequent visitors to the Estácio slums, poet Waly Salomão and Torquato Neto. Thanks to Wally, Gal Costa ended up meeting one of her favourite songwriters in Melodia, resulting in Gal Costa recording the track "Pérola Negra" from the album Gal A Todo Vapor, released in 1972. A little later, Maria Bethânia recorded her own version of "Estácio, Holly Estácio".

paragraph: It was at this time that the artist adopted his stage name ‘Luiz Melodia’ - taking the stage name used by his father Oswaldo -, and, the following year (1973), he released his first and anthological album Pérola Negra. His attitude, however, maintained the same irreverence and restlessness of the boy from the cradle of Rio de Janeiro's samba scene, attributing him with a unique musical style, while also earning him fame as one of the "damned" artists among critics, alongside names like Fagner and João Bosco, for example. "We weren't people that simply obeyed. You could say that we sidestepped all the house rules, the recording studio; we simply broke away from situations that weren't convenient. I have always believed in what I do", stated Luiz.

paragraph: His career was officially established with his following album, Maravilhas Contemporâneas (1976), made popular thanks to the track "Mico de Circo" (1978), recorded upon his return to Rio. Over the following decades, Melodia released a number of albums and performed extensively, including abroad. In 1987, he performed in Châteauvallon, in France, and in Bern, Switzerland, as well as at the III Folcalquier Music Festival, in 1992, in France. In 2004, he was invited to play the Montreux Jazz Festival, on the banks of Lake Geneva, where he appeared at Stravinsky Auditorium, the festival's main stage. He has performed in a number of European countries, including Germany, the UK, Denmark, France, Switzerland and Portugal.

paragraph: In 1972, his song "Pérola Negra" was recorded by Gal Costa on the album Gal A Todo Vapor, with the aid of poet-songwriters Torquato Neto and Wally Salomão, who first heard the song in the vicinities of Estácio, in Rio de Janeiro, where the songwriter lived. The same year, Maria Bethânia recorded a version of the track "Estácio, Holly Estácio". The following year, in 1973, he released his first LP, Pérola Negra, featuring very popular tracks such as "Magrelinha", "Estácio, Holly Estácio", "Vale Quanto Pesa" and "Farrapo Humano", among others.

paragraph: Two years later, in 1975, he was a finalist in the TV Globo competition Festival Abertura with his song "Ébano". In 1976, his song "Juventude Transviada" was featured on the soundtrack to the novela "Pecado Capital" (Rede Globo) and on his LP Maravilhas Contemporâneas. Still in the 1970s, when his fame increased, he took part in an effort called Projeto Pixinguinha, sharing the stage with Zezé Motta. In 1978, he recorded the album Mico de Circo.

paragraph: Section::::1980s and 1990s.

paragraph: In the 1980s, he released the albums Nós (1980), Felino (1983), Claro (1985) and Pintando O Sete (1989). The latter included one of his greatest hits, Codinome Beija-Flor (Cazuza, Ezequiel Neves and Reinaldo Arias). In 1991, he recorded Codinome Beija-Flor featured on the soundtrack to "O Dono Do Mundo", a tele-novela by TV Globo. 1995 saw the release of Relíquias, while Melodia also featured as a guest on the CD Guitarra Brasileira, by Renato Piau, on which he performed "Me Beija", together with Piau and Tureko.

paragraph: The album also included his track "Fadas". In 1997, he released the album 14 Quilates. A year later, in 1998, he participated on the tribute album Balaio do Sampaio, by Sérgio Sampaio, produced by Sergio Natureza, performing the track "Cruel" (Sérgio Sampaio). In 1999, he launched Luiz Melodia: Acústico, Ao Vivo, recorded at Teatro Rival (RJ), and featuring Renato Piau (steel and nylon string guitar) and Perinho Santana (nylon string guitar and electric guitar). He also performed songs by other songwriters, like Zé Kéti and Hotência Rocha, on the track "Diz Que Fui Por Aí".

paragraph: Section::::2000- 2006.

paragraph: In 2000, he presented the same show at the Garden Hall, in Rio de Janeiro. The following year, in 2001, he released Retrato do Artista Quando Coisa, with string and wind arrangements. The album, produced by guitarist Perinho Santana, featuring sophisticated wind and string arrangements on the majority of tracks, and featuring Ricardo Silveira (guitar) and Luiz Alves (acoustic bass). The repertoire included his compositions "Feeling Da Música" (ft./ Ricardo Augusto and Hyldon); "Gotas De Saudade" (ft./ Perinho Santana); "Lorena" (ft./ Renato Piau and Mahal), which included the participation of his son Mahal; "Brinde" (ft./ Ricardo Augusto), "Esse Filme Eu Já Vi" (ft./ Renato Piau), "Perdido", "Boa Atmosfera", "Quizumba" (ft./ Cara Feia) and the title track, with verses by Manoel de Barros, as well as "Otimismo" (Célio José and Marize Santos), "Levanta A Cabeça" (Ivan Nascimento and Osvaldo Nunes), "Sempre Comigo" (William Duba and Anísio Silva) and "Poderoso Gangster" (Guida Moira).

paragraph: In 2002 he released a CD and DVD set entitled Luiz Melodia Convida - Ao Vivo, recorded at Pólo Cine Vídeo, in Rio de Janeiro, featuring the participation of Zeca Pagodinho, Zezé Motta and Luciana Mello, among other artists. The CD featured the bonus track "Presente Cotidiano", a duet with Gal Costa recorded in studio. He performed at Parque dos Patins, in Rio de Janeiro, in 2005 as part of the project Vivo Na Lagoa. In the same year he played on the album Um Pouco De Mim - Sergio Natureza E Amigos, performing "Vela No Breu" (Paulinho da Viola and Sergio Natureza). The following year, in 2006, he performed at Teatro Rival BR, in Rio de Janeiro and was featured on the cover of Carioquice magazine, published by the Cravo Albin Cultural Institute. During the same year, alongside Edues Fraga, Wanda Sá and Claudia Telles, he collaborated on the CD Par ou Ímpar, by Marcelo Lessa and Paulinho Tapajós, performing the track "Veludo Azul".

paragraph: Section::::MTV -2008.

paragraph: In 2008, Melodia cultivated an idea involving a samba project. Previously, in mid-2006, the artist had been invited to present a special performance in celebration of the 70th anniversary of Teatro Rival, in Rio de Janeiro. The focal point was samba songs from different periods, and, to some extent, the show formed the foundation that would become the album Estação Melodia, with a repertoire based on the CD, DVD and special MTV show.

paragraph: Section::::Last years and release of Zerima (2014).

paragraph: In 2011, he played on fourth solo album by Titãs band member Sérgio Britto, released in September of that year (Purabossanova).

In 2014, at a Teatro Rival BR gig, in Rio de Janeiro, he released the CD Zerima, his 14th solo album (recorded at Som Livre studios).

paragraph: Zerima is the 13th studio album by singer and songwriter Luiz Melodia, released in 2014 by Som Livre. Following a 13-year span without releasing new material, Luiz Melodia returned to his typical musical genre: samba and bossa nova, stemming from the 14 new tracks, is as personal and intimate as his exceptional vocal ability. Exuberating class and his trademark rhythm, Melodia presents new compositions like "Cheia De Graça" (Luiz Melodia), adding the amorous tonic that permeates the album and the deep-felt pain of love, expressed vividly in "Dor De Carnaval" (Luiz Melodia), which includes the special guest of São Paulo, acclaimed singer and songwriter Céu.

paragraph: Brad Nelson

paragraph: Bradley John Nelson (born December 23, 1982) is a former professional baseball player. He played primarily first base and outfield in Major League Baseball (MLB) for the Milwaukee Brewers.

paragraph: Section::::High school.

paragraph: Nelson played high school baseball at Bishop Garrigan High School in Algona, Iowa. He was a pitcher and utility infielder. He started varsity halfway through his eighth grade summer and led the team to the state championship game as a sophomore. The team he played on that season continues to hold the state records for most runs (523), home runs (90), and RBIs (461) in a season; Nelson himself holds the state records for most hits (83) and most RBIs (91) in a season.

paragraph: Section::::Professional career.

paragraph: Section::::Professional career.:Milwaukee Brewers.

paragraph: He was drafted by the Milwaukee Brewers in the fourth round of the 2001 Major League Baseball Draft.

paragraph: Nelson has played professionally for the Rookie Level Arizona League Brewers and Ogden Raptors, the Single-A Beloit Snappers and High Desert Mavericks, the Double-A Huntsville Stars, and the Triple-A Nashville Sounds. He was part of the Sounds team that won the Pacific Coast League championship.

paragraph: He was selected to play in the Midwest League All-Star game in Lansing, Michigan, and the Southern League All-Star game in Chattanooga, Tennessee. In both all-star appearances, he won the home run derby that was part of the All-Star festivities. He was also named the Milwaukee Brewers' 2002 Minor League Player of the Year, after leading all minor leaguers with 116 RBIs and 49 doubles at the age of 19.

paragraph: In addition to his positive career statistics, Nelson also holds the Pacific Coast League record for most strikeouts in a single game, with seven strike-outs in 11 plate appearances in a 24-inning game (the longest game in PCL history) in which the Nashville Sounds played against the New Orleans Zephyrs on May 5 and 6, .

paragraph: For the season, he played with the Triple-A Nashville Sounds, but was called up to the Brewers on September 1; he made his major league debut that afternoon. On September 2, Nelson collected his first major league hit, a pinch-hit double in the 10th inning against Luis Ayala of the New York Mets. After a successful 2009 spring training, the Brewers kept Nelson on the 25-man roster to start the following year. However, after going hitless in 21 at-bats primarily as a pinch hitter to start the season, Nelson was outrighted to AAA, and replaced with infielder Mat Gamel, on May 14. Rather than report back to the Brewers' minor league system, Nelson opted for free agency the next day.

Like in Milwaukee, a crowded first base caused the Mariners to cut Nelson on March 13, 2010, and send him to their minor league camp. He spent the entire 2010 season in Tacoma, and became a free agent on November 6, 2010.

paragraph: Adolf van Nieuwenaar

paragraph: Adolf van Nieuwenaar, Count of Limburg and Moers (also: Adolf von Neuenahr) (c. 1545 – 18 October 1589) was a statesman and soldier, who was stadtholder of Overijssel, Guelders and Utrecht for the States-General of the Netherlands during the Eighty Years' War.

paragraph: Section::::Early life.

paragraph: Nieuwenaar (as he is usually called in historiography) was the son of Count Gumprecht II von Neuenahr-Alpen and Amöna von Daun. After the death of his father in 1556 he was raised at the court of his guardian and uncle, the Protestant Count Hermann of Neuenahr and Moers, who was married to Magdalene, a half-sister of William the Silent, Prince of Orange. In 1570 he married his aunt Walburgis van Nieuwenaer, the widow of Philip de Montmorency, Count of Hoorn who had been executed by the Duke of Alba in 1568. She was the sister of his guardian Hermann. When Count Hermann died childless in December 1578, Niewenaar inherited his lands, including the county of Moers. All these lands are close to the current border between Germany and the Netherlands, and abutted the Duchy of Guelders in the Habsburg Netherlands.

paragraph: Section::::Participation in the Cologne War.

paragraph: Nieuwenaar encouraged the Prince-elector and Archbishop of Cologne Gebhard Truchsess von Waldburg to retain his control of the Electorate of Cologne after he married Agnes von Mansfeld-Eisleben and converted to Calvinism. In 1583 Pope Gregory XIII excommunicated Gebhard, and the Cathedral chapter chose Ernest of Bavaria as the new Elector. War broke out between the two rivals: it was known as the Cologne War. Gebhart was supported by Nieuwenaar (as his general), his brother, Karl, Truchsess von Waldburg-Trauchburg and the Dutch rebels. Ernest by his brothers, Wilhelm V, Duke of Bavaria, Ferdinand of Bavaria, and eventually by Spain. By 1586, Nieuwenaar was driven out of all his German possessions.

paragraph: Section::::Stadtholderate.

paragraph: However, he soon found a new position in the rebellious Netherlands. The stadtholder of the province of Gelderland in the States-General, Willem IV van den Bergh, had been caught in treasonous correspondence with the Spanish Governor-General of the Habsburg Netherlands, Alexander Farnese, Duke of Parma, and had been deposed in November 1583. Nieuwenaar was now appointed the new stadtholder. As such he only controlled the city of Arnhem and surroundings, however. Most of the province was in Spanish hands.

paragraph: In August 1584, Nieuwenaar's uncle, the Prince of Orange, who at the time was also Stadtholder of Utrecht and Overijssel, was assassinated. After some delay, the States-General appointed Nieuwenaar as stadtholder of these provinces in his uncle's place. In Utrecht a political struggle ensued between radical Calvinists and more conservative nobles and regents. In this conflict, Robert Dudley, 1st Earl of Leicester, who became the new Governor-General on the side of the States-General in the northern Netherlands in 1585, chose the side of the radicals, and so did Nieuwenaar. However, after Leicester's departure for England in 1587, Nieuwenaar gradually changed his stance. He brought about a (nominal) reconciliation between the warring parties. After a bloodless coup in 1588 the radicals were ousted from the city of Utrecht, but this did not undermine Nieuwenaar's position as stadtholder.

paragraph: As stadtholder, Nieuwenaar was also commander-in-chief of the military forces of the States-General in his provinces. As such he led several campaigns, but with little success. He captured Neuss in 1585, but this city was soon lost again to Spain. During his retreat, Nieuwenaar destroyed Kamp Abbey in 1586. In 1585, the Spanish general Juan Baptista de Tassis defeated him and Maarten Schenk van Nydeggen at the Battle of Amerongen on 23 June 1585. Schenk would in the same year build the fortress of Schenkenschans (Schenk's fortress) on his orders.

paragraph: Nieuwenaar died in an explosion at Arnhem, while testing a new piece of artillery, on 18 October 1589.

paragraph: She won ESPN's 2001 Award for female skier of the year and was voted 2007's Best Female Action Sports Athlete at the ESPY awards.

paragraph: She regularly participated in skiing films, including "Propaganda", in which she showcased her skills by sliding rainbow rails, spinning a 540 in the pipe and throwing back-flips.

paragraph: Burke was a known promoter of the superpipe skiing event, working to have it added to the Olympic program. She failed to have the event added in time for the 2010 Winter Olympics in Vancouver, but successfully lobbied the International Olympic Committee to have the event added for the 2014 Sochi Games. Two years ahead of the games, she was considered a potential favourite for the gold medal in Sochi.

paragraph: Section::::Personal life.

paragraph: Burke met freeskier Rory Bushfield when she was 14 at a ski camp in Whistler, British Columbia. On September 25, 2010, she married Bushfield in Pemberton, British Columbia, with pro skier Luke Van Valin officiating the wedding. She and Bushfield resided in Squamish, British Columbia.

paragraph: Section::::Accident and death.

paragraph: On January 10, 2012, Burke was seriously injured while training on the Park City Mountain Resort Eagle superpipe in Park City, Utah. This is the same superpipe where snowboarder Kevin Pearce was seriously injured in 2009. Onlookers reported that Burke had completed a trick fairly well yet fell onto her head, and the accident did not appear to be very severe. Moments later, however, she went into cardiac arrest while still on the ski slope. She was resuscitated and airlifted to the University of Utah Hospital in Salt Lake City, where she was reported to have been placed in a medically induced coma. The following day, she underwent neurosurgery to repair a tear in a vertebral artery. She died of her injuries on January 19, 2012. According to her publicist, Burke's injuries had resulted in "irreversible damage to her brain due to lack of oxygen and blood after cardiac arrest." Her organs and tissues were donated as she requested before her death.

paragraph: Because the event at which she fell was unsanctioned and hosted by Burke's sponsor Monster Energy, Burke was not covered under the insurance policy that applied to her when she competed for the Canada Freestyle Ski Association. The day after Burke's death, her agent established a website to raise $550,000 to help pay her estimated $200,000 hospital costs and create "a foundation to honour Sarah's legacy and promote the ideals she valued and embodied."

paragraph: On February 23, 2014, Sarah's ashes were spread in the mountains over Sochi, Russia, during the 2014 Olympic Games. Her former coach, Trennon Paynter, spread them on the highest point at Rosa Khutor complex, and in the halfpipe.

paragraph: Section::::Legacy.

paragraph: On June 12, 2012, the Canadian Olympic Committee announced that Burke was inducted into the 2012 Canadian Olympic Hall of Fame for her role in advocating for ski halfpipe's inclusion in the Olympic program.

paragraph: In 2014, Burke was posthumously inducted into the Canada's Sports Hall of Fame.

paragraph: In February 2014, Canada Post produced commemorative stamps honouring Burke, curler Sandra Schmirler and figure skater Barbara Ann Scott for being "pioneers of winter sports".

paragraph: Burke was honoured on National Flag of Canada Day on February 15, 2014. The flag will be given to Burke's family as a tribute to her legacy.

paragraph: At the 2014 Winter Olympics in Sochi, Russia, the IOC refused permission for snowboarder Torah Bright to wear a tribute sticker to Burke during the Games. Before the finals of halfpipe started, the event volunteers paid tribute to Burke by skiing in a heart-shaped formation.

paragraph: In March 2014, the Government of Ontario announced that it would dedicate Highway 93 in memory of her and name it as the Sarah Burke Memorial Highway. The route extends entirely within Simcoe County with its southern terminus near Barrie, Ontario, her birthplace.

paragraph: On October 17, 2016, Burke was part of the class inducted into the Ontario Sports Hall of Fame at the Sheraton Centre Toronto Hotel.

paragraph: Edward James Slattery

paragraph: Edward James Slattery (born August 11, 1940) is an American prelate of the Roman Catholic Church who served as bishop of Tulsa from 1993 to 2016.

paragraph: Section::::Early life.

paragraph: The second of seven children, Edward Slattery was born in Chicago, Illinois, to William Edward and Winifred Margaret (née Brennan) Slattery; both his paternal and maternal grandparents emigrated to the United States from Ireland. After attending Visitation of the BVM Grade School and Archbishop Quigley Preparatory Seminary, he studied at St. Mary of the Lake Seminary, from where he obtained Bachelor of Arts and Master of Divinity degrees.

paragraph: Section::::Priesthood.

paragraph: Slattery was ordained to the priesthood by John Cardinal Cody on April 26, 1966, and then served as associate pastor of St. Jude the Apostle Parish in South Holland until 1971. During this time, he also earned a Master's degree from Loyola University. He was Vice-President (1971–76) and President (1976–94) of the Catholic Church Extension Society, a Chicago-based funding agency for the American home missions. While working at Extension, he was named associate pastor at the inner-city Hispanic parish of St. Rose of Lima on the south side of Chicago in 1973. He later served as pastor of St. Rose of Lima from 1976 to 1989.

paragraph: Section::::Service as bishop.

paragraph: On November 11, 1993, Slattery was appointed the third Bishop of Tulsa, Oklahoma, by Pope John Paul II, who consecrated him on January 6, 1994, with Archbishops Giovanni Re and Josip Uhac serving as co-consecrators, in St. Peter's Basilica in Rome. He selected as his episcopal motto: ""Tu Solus Sanctus"", meaning, ""You alone are the Holy One.""

paragraph: Pope Francis accepted his resignation as bishop on May 13, 2016, appointing David Konderla to succeed him.

paragraph: Section::::Views.

paragraph: Section::::Views.:Illegal immigrants.

paragraph: In 2006, Slattery said that if a law was passed criminalizing the act of aiding illegal immigrants "then [he] will become a criminal," adding, "When it becomes a crime to love the poor and serve their needs, then I will be the first to go to jail for this crime, and I pray that every priest and every deacon in this diocese will have the courage to walk with me into that prison." In 2007, he issued a 21-page pastoral letter in which he condemned Oklahoma House Bill 1804, a strict anti-illegal immigration law which Slattery claimed creates "an atmosphere of repression and terror."

paragraph: Section::::Views.:Pro-choice politicians.

paragraph: During the 2008 presidential election, Slattery criticized the Catholic House Speaker Nancy Pelosi and U.S. Senator Joe Biden for their remarks on abortion on "Meet the Press", describing their positions as "clearly inconsistent with Catholic teaching" and "plainly false."

paragraph: Section::::Views.:Liturgy.

paragraph: Slattery was a conservative on question of liturgical practice. He returned to the practice of celebrating the Eucharistic liturgy in this cathedral using the ancient style in which the priest and the congregation face the same direction, "ad orientem". He believed this form had a number of advantages over the form of in which the priest faces the congregation. On April 24, 2010, he celebrated High Mass at the Basilica of the National Shrine of the Immaculate Conception to mark the fifth anniversary of Benedict XVI's papacy, wearing the rarely seen cappa magna.

paragraph: Section::::Views.:Statement on Contraceptive mandates.

paragraph: On February 2, 2012, Bishop Slattery released a statement in response to the contraceptive mandates issued by the United States Department of Health and Human Services under the Patient Protection and Affordable Care Act. Slattery joined other bishops in the United States Conference of Catholic Bishops in opposing the mandate.

paragraph: Michal Neuvirth

paragraph: Michal Neuvirth (; born 23 March 1988) is a Czech professional ice hockey goaltender who is currently an unrestricted free agent who will participate in the Toronto Maple Leafs 2019 training camp on a professional tryout contract. He most recently played for the Philadelphia Flyers of the National Hockey League (NHL). He previously played for the New York Islanders, Buffalo Sabres, and Washington Capitals. He was selected 34th overall by the Washington Capitals in the second round of the 2006 NHL Entry Draft.

paragraph: Section::::Playing career.

paragraph: Section::::Playing career.:Junior.

paragraph: After being drafted into the NHL by the Capitals, Neuvirth began a two-year major junior career in the Ontario Hockey League (OHL). He began with the Plymouth Whalers in 2006–07 before being traded on 13 November 2007, to the Windsor Spitfires, along with defenceman Tom Kane and a fourth-round draft pick in 2009 in exchange for defenceman Michal Jordán, goaltender Matt Hackett, a 2008 second-round draft pick and a third-round pick in 2009. After spending less than half a season with the Spitfires, he was traded yet again on 8 January 2008, to the Oshawa Generals along with Ryan Baldwin for forward Justin Shugg, goaltender Jakub Kovář and second-round picks in 2008 and 2011.

paragraph: Section::::Playing career.:Professional.:Washington Capitals.

paragraph: Neuvirth turned pro in 2008–09 with the South Carolina Stingrays, the Capitals' ECHL affiliate. During his short stint with the Stingrays, he was named to the 2009 ECHL All-Star Game for the American Conference. He was called up to the Hershey Bears of the American Hockey League (AHL) during the season and, before long, received his first NHL call-up to the Capitals when starting goaltender Semyon Varlamov was sidelined due to injury. He made his NHL debut on 14 February 2009, against the Tampa Bay Lightning. Making 31 saves, including a breakaway glove save on Vincent Lecavalier, Neuvirth backstopped the Capitals to a 5–1 victory for his first NHL win. He then played in his Capitals home debut on 26 February against the Atlanta Thrashers, recording another win with a 21-save effort. He finished the season appearing in five games total for the Capitals with a 2–1 record and 3.00 goals against average (GAA).

paragraph: After being returned to the Bears, Neuvirth helped his team to the 2009 Calder Cup finals. He recorded a shutout in game three for the Bears to take a 2–1 series lead against the Manitoba Moose. Neuvirth then went on with the Hershey Bears to win the 2009 Calder Cup, earning MVP honors after his game 6 win. Neuvirth went 16–6 in the playoffs and finished the post-season with a 1.92 GAA, topping Frédéric Cassivi's previous AHL playoff best of 2.10 GAA.

paragraph: After helping the Bears to the back-to-back Calder Cups in 2010, Neuvirth was named the starting goaltender of the Capitals' season opener on 8 October against Atlanta, in which he made 27 saves in a 4–2 loss. Neuvirth would go on to beat-out Semyon Varlamov for the starting position for the entire season. Despite a solid season as Washington's starter and an adequate playoff performance, Washington would demote Neuvirth to backup goaltender status to make way for Tomáš Vokoun, trading away incumbent backup Varlamov to the Colorado Avalanche in the process. Vokoun's run as Washington's starter only lasted one season, however, and he was injured before the playoffs began. Unfortunately for Neuvirth, he himself was also injured, allowing third goaltender Braden Holtby to start Game 1 of the first round series against the Boston Bruins. Even though Neuvirth managed to return to health in time for Game 3, Holtby went on to start for the duration of Washington's playoff run in 2012. In the off-season, Vokoun left to take the backup goaltender job with the Pittsburgh Penguins. New Capitals head coach Adam Oates then confirmed Holtby as the new starting goaltender of the Washington Capitals during training camp, but failed to rule out Neuvirth reclaiming the starters' role if he were to outplay Holtby.

paragraph: Section::::Playing career.:Professional.:Buffalo Sabres.

paragraph: On 5 March 2014, Neuvirth was traded by the Capitals, along with Rostislav Klesla, to the Buffalo Sabres in exchange for Jaroslav Halák and a third round pick. Neuvirth closed out the season with an (0-2-0) record. The next season, Neuvirth posted a record of (6-17-3).

paragraph: Section::::Playing career.:Professional.:New York Islanders.

paragraph: Almost one year later, on 2 March 2015, Neuvirth was traded by the Sabres to the New York Islanders in exchange for Chad Johnson and a third-round draft pick. Neuvirth recorded a (1-3-1) record with the Islanders.

paragraph: Section::::Playing career.:Professional.:Philadelphia Flyers.

paragraph: On 1 July 2015, Neuvirth signed a two-year contract as a free agent with the Philadelphia Flyers, to serve as a backup to Steve Mason.

paragraph: On 1 April 2017, Neuvirth suddenly collapsed on the ice during a game against the New Jersey Devils while there was a stoppage in play at 7:37 of the first period. He was rushed to a nearby hospital after being taken off the ice on a stretcher. Backup goaltender Anthony Stolarz replaced Neuvirth for the rest of the game, which the Flyers won 3–0. The Flyers announced the next afternoon he had been released from the hospital and all tests were normal.

paragraph: After four seasons under contract with the Flyers, Neuvirth left as a free agent following an injury plagued 2018–19 season. Unable to secure an NHL contract, Neuvirth agreed an invitation to attend the Toronto Maple Leafs' training camp on a professional tryout contract.

paragraph: Section::::Records.

paragraph: BULLET::::- Calder Cup record; single-playoffs goals against average - 1.92 GAA

paragraph: Section::::Personal life.

paragraph: Neuvirth is married to Karolina Gudasová, the sister of Radko Gudas. He and his wife have two children together.

paragraph: Jordan Taylor (racing driver)

paragraph: Jordan Taylor (born May 10, 1991) is an American professional racing driver. He currently competes in the WeatherTech SportsCar Championship for Wayne Taylor Racing. He won the 2017 24 Hours of Daytona (along with Jeff Gordon, Max Angelelli and brother Ricky) and the 2017 championship in the Prototype class of the WeatherTech SportsCar Championship.

paragraph: Jordan also won the 2013 Rolex Sports Car Series Daytona Prototypes class and was 2014 United SportsCar Championship Prototypes class runner-up. Also Jordan won the 2015 24 Hours of Le Mans GTE-Pro class in a Chevrolet Corvette C7.R.

paragraph: Jordan is the youngest son of sports car veteran Wayne Taylor. He raced a Cadillac Prototype for his father's team, where he partnered with his older brother, Ricky, from 2014-2017. In 2018, he partnered with Renger van der Zande, as Ricky moved to Acura Team Penske.

paragraph: Section::::Racing career.

paragraph: Born in Orlando, Taylor began his career in professional sports car racing in 2008, competing in the 24 Hours of Daytona and finishing 15th. His first full season came in 2010. In late 2011 at a private test at Sebring Jordan Taylor impressed Corvette Racing enough that they recruited Jordan to fulfill the third driver role for the team in the 2012 season competing at Sebring, Petit Le Mans and also the 24 Hours of Le Mans where he finished in 5th place in the LM GTE PRO #73 Corvette C6.R. In 2013 he joined Wayne Taylor Racing, a team owned by his father, sports car veteran Wayne Taylor, co-driving with Max Angelelli. He and Angelelli teamed to win the 2013 Rolex Sports Car Series' Daytona Prototype championship, the final Grand American Road Racing Association championship before the merger of American Le Mans Series and Grand-Am, winning five races including the last three of the season consecutively. Previously, Taylor competed in the GT class, winning two races for Autohaus Motorsports.

For the 2017 IMSA season, Taylor drove the new Cadillac DPi-V.R. in the new Daytona Prototype International class.

paragraph: Taylor is well-known for his quirky personality and his social media presence. He has an online alter ego known as Rodney Sandstorm, a parody of 1990s racers and Jeff Gordon, whose antics have drawn positive attention toward both Taylor and IMSA. In particular, during the 2018 Talladega broadcast, Taylor received significant media attention when he, as Rodney Sandstorm, crashed a live NASCAR on Fox broadcast, causing Darrell Waltrip to call for security (not knowing what was going on).

paragraph: Mamiya Rinzō

paragraph: Mamiya was born in 1775 in Tsukuba District, Hitachi Province, in what is now Tsukubamirai, Ibaraki Prefecture. Later in his life he would become an undercover agent for the Tokugawa shogunate. He is best known for his exploration and mapping of Sakhalin (known to the Japanese as 樺太, "Karafuto"), which resulted in his discovery that Sakhalin was indeed an island and not connected to the Asian continent, although this had already been discovered by Jean-François de La Pérouse in 1787, who charted most of the Strait of Tartary. The strait would later be named after him in Japan as the Mamiya Strait.

paragraph: In 1785 Japanese explorers reached almost to the Strait of Tartary on the west, Cape Patience on the east and Urup in the Kurils. In 1808 Mamiya sailed up the east coast and Matsuda Denjuro up the west coast. From near Cape Patience Mamiya crossed the mountains to join Matsuda. The next year Mamiya sailed into the mouth of the Amur River and reached a Chinese trading post. In 1852 Mamiya's maps were published in Europe by Philipp Franz von Siebold.

paragraph: Although Japan believed that Mamiya had no child, it was announced in 2002 that there was a daughter of him and an Ainu woman and her descendants remained alive in Hokkaido.

paragraph: Section::::In popular culture.

paragraph: Mamiya is portrayed as one of the two main villains in the manga series "Shin Kozure Okami (New Lone Wolf and Cub)." In this version, he is the chief henchman of Matsudaira Nobutsuna (and his natural son) and a master of disguise who assumes different identities after murdering the original persons. He is also possibly even more ruthless that Matsudaira, subverting various ninja groups for his own use and using opium as a means of ensnaring and controlling various people, including the Shogun. While Mamiya's historical explorations are mentioned, in this version they have been for a more malign purpose than mere exploration.

paragraph: Mark A. Carleton

paragraph: Mark Alfred Carleton (Ohio, United States 7 March 1866 – Paita, Peru 25 April 1925) was an American botanist and plant pathologist, most notable for his introduction of hard red wheats and durum wheats from Russia into the American wheatbelt.

paragraph: Carleton was born near Jerusalem, Monroe County, Ohio, but the family moved to Cloud County, Kansas in 1876 where he worked on his father's farm. He attended Kansas State Agricultural College (now Kansas State University), graduating in 1887 with his bachelor's. For the next two years he taught natural history at Garfield University in Wichita. When funds ran out to pay him, he returned to Kansas State Agricultural College and acquired his master's degree in botany and plant cultivation. While there, he worked with A.S. Hitchcock on the study of plant rusts and published a number of papers, which, with Hitchcock's endorsement, got Carleton a job as an assistant pathologist in the Division of Vegetable Physiology and Pathology of the United States Department of Agriculture (USDA).

paragraph: While at the USDA, Carleton continued his study of wheat rusts and noticed, "inter alia", that the turkey red wheat grown in Kansas by the Mennonites survived where other varieties succumbed to wheat rusts. Turkey red wheat had been brought from Russia, so Carleton studied Russian agriculture and taught himself some of the Russian language. In 1898, the Department sent him to Russia, where he acquired a number of varieties of cearl grains to test in the United States. In July 1900 he returned to Russia and acquired several more cereal grains, predominantly wheat.

paragraph: When the Division of Vegetable Physiology and Pathology became part of the Bureau of Plant Industry in 1901, Carleton was put in charge of the grain investigations section (head cerealist). Due to his belief that improvements in yield would be most likely from the introduction of new varieties, he concentrated on a program of experimental trials of various seed stocks. That combined with the seed distribution through the state agricultural colleges program meant that by 1919, it may not have been an exaggeration to say that 98% of the wheat grown in Kansas came from Carleton's seed stock.

paragraph: Carleton become the first president of the American Society of Agronomy. In 1916, he published a textbook entitled "The Small Grains" which has been called "masterly".

paragraph: Carleton had married Amanda Elizabeth Faught, of Kingman, Kansas, in 1897 and they had four children. Finding it difficult to manage on a government salary, Carleton attempted to trade on his agricultural expertise with a wheat farm in Texas and a fruit farm in Florida. Unfortunately, neither one was a success. The family home was lost in a mortgage foreclosure. This was followed, in 1918, by his requested resignation from the Department of Agriculture for unethical behavior and conflicts of interest.

paragraph: For the next several years Carleton worked for a number of agro-businesses including the United States Grain Corporation and the United Fruit Company. In 1925, while studying an infestation of pink boll weevils in the Peruvian cotton crop, he died of heart disease complicated by malaria.

paragraph: Carleton was a member of the Botanical Society of America, the American Phytopathological Society, the American Genetic Association, the Kansas Academy of Science, and the Botanical and Biological Societies of Washington. He was a Fellow of the American Association for the Advancement of Science and received the distinguished French Ordre National du Mérite Agricole. He was inducted into the U.S. National Agricultural Hall of Fame on 27 April 1984.

paragraph: Thomas Spring of Lavenham

paragraph: Thomas Spring (c. 1474 – 1523), also referred to as Thomas Spring III or The Rich Clothier, was an English cloth merchant during the early 1500s. From Lavenham in Suffolk he consolidated his father's business to become one of the most successful in the booming wool trade, and was one of the richest men in England in his lifetime.

paragraph: Section::::Family.

paragraph: Thomas Spring was the eldest son and heir of Thomas Spring (d. 7 September 1486) of Lavenham, Suffolk, and Margaret Appleton. His father's will mentions Thomas and two other sons, William and James (slain 1493), as well as a daughter, Marian. He had another brother, John Spring, whose daughter, Margaret, married Aubrey de Vere, second son of John de Vere, 15th Earl of Oxford; Aubrey de Vere and Margaret Spring were the grandparents of Robert de Vere, 19th Earl of Oxford.

paragraph: The will of Thomas Spring's grandfather, also named Thomas (d.1440), mentions his wife, Agnes, his eldest son and heir, Thomas (d. 7 September 1486), another son, William, and two daughters, Katherine and Dionyse.

paragraph: Section::::Career.

paragraph: Thomas inherited the Spring family wool and cloth business from his father, and during his lifetime the cloth trade was at its most profitable. By the time of his death, Spring was believed to be the richest man in England outside the peerage, having invested much of his money in land.

paragraph: In 1512, 1513 and 1517 his name appears as one of the commissioners for collecting taxation in Suffolk. Spring played a large part in defeating supporters of William de la Pole, 1st Duke of Suffolk, who claimed the throne from Henry VII. However, in 1517, in the reign of Henry VIII, Spring was given exemption from his public duties. At this point, he was probably at the height of his wealth.

paragraph: Spring is mentioned in John Skelton's satirical poem "Why come ye not to Court", which makes reference to the rich clothier with whom Skelton is said to have been friends. He writes:

paragraph: "Now nothing, but pay pay with laughe and lay downe Borough, Citie and towne good Springe of Lanam must count what became of his clothe makyng. My Lordes grace will bryng down thys hye Springe and brynge it so lowe it shal not ever flow."

paragraph: Like his father, Thomas Spring was closely involved in the rebuilding of St Peter and St Paul's Church in Lavenham. This was partly done in order to propitiate the 13th Earl of Oxford, who had ordered the reconstruction work and was the church's other principal donor. The rebuilding also gave Spring an opportunity to display his wealth and generosity, thus solidifying his position in Suffolk; a common motivation behind the construction of many wool churches.

paragraph: Spring made his last will on 13 June 1523 as 'Thomas Spring of Lavenham, clothmaker', leaving his wife, Alice, all her apparel and jewels, 1000 marks in money, and half his plate and implements of household, with the other half to go to his eldest son and heir, John. Spring also left bequests to his son, Robert, his unmarried daughter, Bridget, the children of his married daughter, Rose Guybon, and the children of his son-in-law, Thomas Jermyn. To 'my wife's daughter, Alice May', he bequeathed £26 13s 4d, 'which I recovered for her of May's executors', to be paid to her at the age of sixteen.A further sum of 5000 marks was to left in trust for future generations of Spring family members with last know survivor being Patricia Anne Shalts (nee Spring) Whereabouts unknown.

paragraph: Thomas Spring was buried in the Spring family parclose in Lavenham church before the altar of St Katherine. His widow commissioned Flemish wood carvers to create a ten-foot high parclose screen around his tomb, which is one of the most intricate of its type still in existence.

paragraph: Section::::Marriage and issue.

paragraph: Thomas Spring is said to have married firstly, in 1493, Anne King, whose family was of Boxford, Suffolk, by whom he had two sons and two daughters:

paragraph: BULLET::::- Sir John Spring (d. 12 August 1547), who married Dorothy Waldegrave, the daughter of Sir William Waldegrave

paragraph: BULLET::::- Robert Spring (1502–1550), who left a will dated 10 October 1547 in which he mentions his wife Agnes, his eldest son and heir, Thomas Spring of Castlemaine, six other sons (Jerome, Robert, John, Nicholas, Stephen, and Henry, parson of Icklingham), and two daughters Dorothy and Frances. As overseer, he appointed Sir William Cordell.

paragraph: BULLET::::- Anne Spring (1494–1528), who married Sir Thomas Jermyn (d.1552) of Rushbrooke, Suffolk. After her death, Sir Thomas Jermyn married Anne Drury.

paragraph: BULLET::::- Rose Spring (b.1496), who married Thomas Guybon.

paragraph: Spring married secondly a wife named Alice (d.1538), the widow of a husband surnamed May, by whom he had a daughter:

paragraph: BULLET::::- Bridget Spring (1498–c.1557), who married firstly William Erneley (21 December 1501 – 20 January 1546), son of Sir John Erneley (c.1464–1520), Chief Justice of the Common Pleas, by whom she had two sons and two daughters, and secondly Sir Henry Hussey (d. 28 August 1557) of Slinfold, Sussex.

paragraph: Spring's widow, Alice, survived him by fifteen years. In her will, dated 13 April 1538, she mentions her daughter by Thomas Spring, Bridget, now the wife of William Erneley; her daughter Alice, now the wife of Richard Fulmerston, gentleman; and her daughter Margaret (died c. 1552), the wife of William Risby (died c. 1551). She appoints as executors her daughter Margaret and sons-in-law, William Risby and Richard Fulmerston, and requests "my Lord of Oxenford to aid and defend my said executors." In a codicil added 31 August 1538, she discharges Richard Fulmerston as executor, and appoints him supervisor. Both will and codicil were proved 5 September 1538.

paragraph: Hermann Steudner

paragraph: Carl Theodor Hermann Steudner (1 September 1832 – 10 April 1863) was a botanist and an explorer of Africa.

paragraph: Section::::Education and early work.

paragraph: Steudner was born in Greiffenberg, located in Silesia, but grew up in Görlitz. He studied botany, mineralogy, and medicine in Berlin and Würzburg. Among his professors were Christian Gottfried Ehrenberg, Heinrich Wilhelm Dove, and Carl Ritter in Berlin; and Rudolf Virchow, Franz von Rinecker, and Albert von Kölliker in Würzburg, where he began his friendship with Ernst Haeckel.

paragraph: Having returned to Berlin, Steudner devoted himself to botany and published on Marantaceae. He was elected a member of the Berlin Society of Friends of Natural Science.

paragraph: Section::::Expedition to Africa.

paragraph: Heinrich Barth of the "Gesellschaft für Erdkunde zu Berlin" convinced Steudner to participate in an African expedition to search for Eduard Vogel, whose traces had been lost in the Ouaddai Empire. This expedition was initiated by Ernest II, Duke of Saxe-Coburg and Gotha. The expedition was led by Theodor von Heuglin and started on 4 March 1861 in Alexandria. After sailing over the Red Sea they landed at Massawa on 17 June 1861 and observed birds on Dahlak Archipelago. Their way through the Ethiopian Highlands led them to Keren in the country of the Bilen people, from where Werner Munzinger came to join them, and afterwards to Adwa, where they met Wilhelm Schimper. Here the expedition split into two parties. Steudner remained at Heuglin. They made a wide detour through the Galla country in order to search for Tewodros II of Ethiopia. After visiting Gondar and Magdala they came to Edschebet, where they were guests of Tewodros. From Lake Tana they turned north. By way of the Blue Nile, they reached Khartoum in July 1862.

paragraph: Because of this detour, the leadership of the expedition was taken from Heuglin. They used the break to visit Kurdufan, where they followed the traces of Theodor Kotschy. On 25 January 1863 they joined Alexandrine Tinné on her tour up the White Nile to the Bahr el Ghasal. Steudner died of fever on 10 April 1863 in Waw near the Jur River.

paragraph: Section::::Honors.

paragraph: Steudner visited regions which had never been explored by a botanist before. Hence, his careful reports were of high importance. Renowned herbariums, such as Kew Royal Botanic Gardens London, Natural History Museum London, "Muséum national d'Histoire naturelle Paris", Swedish Museum of Natural History Stockholm, and South African National Biodiversity Institute National Herbarium Pretoria, keep specimens that he collected.

paragraph: The Steudner's dwarf gecko ("Tropiocolotes steudneri") is named after Steudner. Also, Karl Koch, a friend of Steudner, named the plant genus "Steudnera" (subfamily Aroideae, family Araceae) in honor of Steudner.

paragraph: In Görlitz, a monument was erected, but it was largely destroyed in World War II to use the metal for military purposes.
