paragraph: Nawab Faizunnesa

paragraph: Nawab Begum Faizunnesa Choudhurani (; 1834–1903) was Zamindar of Homnabad-Pashchimgaon Estate in present-day Comilla District, Bangladesh.

paragraph: She is most famous for her campaign for female education and other social issues. In appreciation of her social work, in 1889 Queen Victoria awarded Faizunnesa the title of "Nawab", making her the first female Nawab in South Asia.

paragraph: Faizunnesa's educational and literary work belonged to the post-1857 era when Muslims in India started having the full thrust of colonial acrimony and were at the nadir of deprivation and discrimination. Faizunnesa embarked on establishing schools for women in that cultural context. Metaphorically, she sought to rescue the community from the menace of despair and pessimism by portraying a Muslim hero in Rupjalal and thus gave them hope and confidence.

paragraph: An advocate of female education, a philanthropist and social worker, Faizunnesa was born in Comilla in what is now Bangladesh. She was married to a distant cousin and neighbouring zamindar, Muhammad Gazi, in 1860 as his second wife only to be separated after mothering two daughters, Arshadunnesa and Badrunnesa. She became a zamindar after her mother's death in 1883 and became increasingly involved in social and charitable work, and thus in 1889 earned the honour of being the first woman Nawab of British India. She penned few other literary pieces such as Sangeet Saar, Sangeet Lahari and Tattwa O Jatiya Sangeet, and is renowned for her pioneering educational and charitable work and establishing of schools, madrasas and hospitals. However, Rupjalal has remained her most important work and attracted more research and critical attention.

paragraph: Section::::Early life and background.

paragraph: Chowdhurani was born in 1834 in the village of Pashchimgaon under Laksham in the district of Comilla. Her father was Ahmed Ali Chowdhury also known as Shahzada Mirza Aurangazeb, Nawab, Khan Bahadur, a descendant of the Mughal emperors and zamindar of Homnabad-Pashchimgaon estate. Faizunnessa was raised in a conservative Muslim family, where the women would maintain a strict purdah system. She received no formal education but she educated herself in her library during leisure time. She was proficient in Arabic, Persian, Sanskrit and Bengali language. In 1860, Chowdhurani was married to a distant cousin and neighbouring Zamindar, Muhammad Gazi, becoming his second wife. But the couple became separated and Faizunnesa began to live with her paternal family.

paragraph: Section::::Career and philanthropy.

paragraph: After her mother's death in 1883, Faizunnesa inherited her property and became zamindar of Pashchimgaon. She became increasingly involved in social work after becoming zamindar. In 1873, Faizunnesa Choudhurani established a high school for girls in Comilla, which is one of the earliest female schools privately established in Indian subcontinent, which is now called Nawab Faizunnesa Government Girls' High School. She also founded a school at Pashchimgaon that was later upgraded to a college and now named as Nawab Faizunnesa Degree College. In 1893, Faizunnesa established a charitable dispensary in her village for women in purdah, particularly destitute women. She also built a hospital for women, Faizunnesa Zenana Hospital in Comilla. In addition, she built mosques and contributed towards the development of roads and ponds. Faizunnesa patronised different newspapers and periodicals, including "Bandhab", "Dhaka Prakash", "Musalman Bandhu", "Sudhakar", and "Islam Pracharak". Before her death in 1903 she donated her entire property to the nation.

paragraph: Section::::"Rupjalal".

paragraph: Originally written in Bangla, Nawab Faizunnesa's (1834–1903) "Rupjajal" was published from Dhaka in 1876. Fayeza S. Hasanat's translation into English of the long-neglected semi-autobiographical allegory with an introduction and commentary has for the first time secured a place for Faizunnesa and for her work among the global readership. Previously, perhaps, the only notable mention Faizunnesa had in any significant research work was in Sonia Nishat Amin's The World of Muslim Women in Colonial Bengal, 1876–1939 (Brill, 1996) that regards Rupjalal's publication year as a significant marker in the history of Bengali Muslim women's literary practice, and the founding of Lady Brabourne College in 1939 as the culmination of Muslim women's education, since that was the first time it had government support during the colonial period.

paragraph: Although Amin regards Faizunnesa as the first significant modern Muslim woman writer of former Bengal, it is still early to make a definitive assumption in this regard. New research is unearthing more and more past Bengali Muslim women writers. Now we know about Rahimunnessa of the eighteenth century whose poetry manuscript was first discovered in 1955, about Rahima and Zamirunnessa from Chittagong who the literary historians believe wrote in the first half of the nineteenth century. These three still remain largely obscure, and probably for this reason Taherunnesa is commonly known as the earliest Bengali Muslim woman writer whose 'Bamagoner Rachana' (Writing by Women) appeared in Bamabodhini Patrika in 1865. However, since she is known to have appeared in the magazine just once along with her article and since we do not know much about her life except that she attended Boda School for Girls, early history of Bengali Muslim women's writing generally starts from Nawab Faizunnesa, information about whose life and work is available. The only Bengali Muslim woman litterateur who has so far received comparatively a greater amount of research attention is Begum Rokeya Sakhawat Hossain (1880–1932), and that with certain amount of disbelief and amazement as she is presumed to stand out alone without any significant predecessors or successors to form a continuous literary tradition of Bengali Muslim women. Between Faizunnesa and Rokeya, there were few more: Latifunnesa, whose ‘Bangiya Musalman Lekhikader Prati’ (To the Bengali Muslim Women Writers) was published in Bamabodhini Patrika in 1897, and Azizunnesa, the first known Muslim woman to have been published in a Muslim-run magazine, Islam Pracharak, as her poem ‘Hamd Orthat Ishwar Stuti’ (In Praise of God) was published in it in 1902.

paragraph: "Rupjalal" is a story of prince Jalal and two heroines, Rupbanu and Hurbanu. It narrates Jalal's heroic and sexual exploits and his marriages to both the heroines. Hasanat reads Rupjalal “as a manifesto of Muslim women’s sexual defiance and subordination in nineteenth century Bengal” (p. 2). However, the text can also be read as a counter narrative to the discourse of nineteenth-century Western literary orientalism that tends to emasculate Muslim men and represents Muslim women as always in the lookout for a gaze at Western Christian heroes only to sexually offer themselves to their supposed dream-lovers. Contrary to the image of emasculated Muslim man, Faizunnesa depicts an ‘athletic and strong’ Muslim hero of virility and valor who “grew so handsome at sixteen / That wherever he went, women were seen / Flocking around him; his manliness / Turned the meekest housewives into temptresses / And each of these women longed to be the one / To be loved by this handsome man!” (50) As opposed to orientalist representations, in Rupjalal it is a Muslim hero who is at the centre of Muslim women's imagination.

paragraph: Hasanat's treatment of Muslim society as opposed to Hindu society in colonial Bengal with regard to the status of women may also not stand up to academic scrutiny. She claims: “Muslim society’s treatment of the female body was totally different from that of an orthodox Hindu or a liberal Brahmo society” (p. 2). She attempts to depict a favourable picture of the Hindu community as opposed to the Muslim community, stating: ‘While “the [Hindu] nationalist male" thought of his own wife/sister/daughter as "normal" precisely because she was no more a "sex object," a Muslim male reformer considered his wife/sister/daughter always as a sex object' (p. 13).

paragraph: Hasanat did a noble work by introducing Faizunnesa's work to a global readership and for her beautiful, reader-friendly translation. What makes her work unwieldy is her audacious attempts to make big theological statements about Islam, and that without adequate knowledge about the religion. However, her efficient translation of Rupjalal will facilitate more interpretations and encourage further research on the text.

paragraph: Edward Abbott Parry

paragraph: Sir Edward Abbott Parry (2 October 1863 – 1 December 1943) was a British judge and dramatist.

paragraph: Parry was born in London into a prominent Welsh family, the second son of barrister John Humffreys Parry and grandson of antiquary John Humffreys Parry, a leader of the Welsh literature movement in the early 19th century. His great-uncle Thomas Parry was bishop of Barbados and his great-grandfather Edward Parry was Rector of Llanferres, Denbighshire.

paragraph: Parry himself studied at the Middle Temple and was called to the Bar in 1885. He was Judge of Manchester County Court 1894-1911 and became Judge of Lambeth County Court in 1911. He wrote several plays and books for children. He was appointed to sit on a Pensions Appeal Tribunal in the summer of 1917, which dealt with appeals against governmental decisions on military pensions, and later published a book on "War Pensions: Past and Present", co-authored with Sir Alfred Codrington, another member of the Tribunal.

paragraph: He died in Sevenoaks, Kent, aged 80.

paragraph: Beyond the stark details of this curriculum vitae, much can be learnt about Parry as a man from his autobiography. To cite one anecdote, he took a summer holiday, probably in 1895 or 1896, in the tiny village of Rhoscolyn on Anglesey and became a great friend of the Revd. John Hopkins, the Rector. When Hopkins died in 1901, Parry was instrumental (with others) in erecting a fine copper memorial tablet in the church. He also published an appreciation in the Cornhill Magazine. The obvious mutual empathy and warmth of the friendship between two men of such different backgrounds is a credit to both: the London-educated judge, son of a barrister and the iron miner (before his ordination) and son of a Merthyr publican, fined for selling beer during the time of divine service.

paragraph: Christeene Vale

paragraph: Christeene Vale, known mononymously as Christeene, is an American drag queen, performance artist, singer-songwriter and rapper. Christeene is noted for untraditional, "terrorist drag," which features him wearing torn-up clothing, stringy matted black wigs, and heavy and smeared makeup with aims to expose hypocrisy and intolerance.

paragraph: Section::::Early life.

paragraph: Christeene is a character created and performed by Paul Soileau. Paul grew up in Lake Charles, Louisiana. He attended Loyola University New Orleans. Following college, he lived in New York City and New Orleans. After Hurricane Katrina, Soileau moved to Austin, Texas.

paragraph: Section::::Career.

paragraph: Christeene is Soileau's second drag character, his first being Rebecca Havemeyer, who is similar to Barry Humphries' Dame Edna. "When Christeene came out of me," said Soileau, "I was searching for something that had the action of a switchblade in my pocket -- a character I could really put on quickly, but affect people in a much stronger way. Something strong enough to channel things inside of me that needed to come out -- more aggressive things. When everything aligned properly, Christine ["sic"] kind of just appeared. I found the wig and went to town... Both characters speak honestly from within me, but Christeene addresses issues that Rebecca does not. There's a lot of political and social commentary going on. It allows me to try to process and understand me, Paul -- as a queer, a Southern boy. Someone understanding my environment and my own social realms. I can push it out through this Christeene character."

paragraph: Christeene's first public appearance was at "Camp Camp", a queer open-mic show in Austin, Texas. In 2011, Christeene was a resident at the CentralTrak Artist Residency in Dallas, TX.

paragraph: For his debut album "Waste Up, Kneez Down", Christeene started a successful Kickstarter campaign, meeting his goal of $10,000.

paragraph: Christeene contributed to the 2012 art magazine "Satanica", which was printed in a limited edition of 350 copies. Other contributors included Bruce La Bruce and Michael Alig.

paragraph: Section::::Music.

paragraph: Christeene's music videos are made by filmmaker PJ Raval. The final budget for each music video is around $200. For Christeene's first music video, "Fix My Dick", Raval borrowed a camera and they spent "about $20 on baby props from a thrift store." They finished the video in one day. The music video for "African Mayonnaise" was nominated for a SXSW Competition Award in 2012.

paragraph: Paul Soileau was an artist-in-residence in 2012 at CentralTrak. He and PJ Raval developed new work for an experimental collaborative project entitled, "The O.T. (Old Testament)", giving Christeene a brief and much needed vacation.

paragraph: Section::::Artistry.

paragraph: Christeene describes himself as a genderqueer "drag terrorist," and is influenced by Jayne County and Bruce LaBruce's use of non-heteronormative gender roles and sexuality. Chelsea Weathers of "Art Lies" compared Christeene's "drag terrorism," sexual and racial commentary to Vaginal Davis: "the reflection Christeene offers includes the necessarily unsanitized underbelly of queer experience—the ambiguity of identifying as queer and the anger and humor that is part and parcel of that experience."

paragraph: Orville Schell

paragraph: Orville Hickock Schell III (; born May 20, 1940) is an American writer, academic, and activist. He is known for his works on China, and is the Arthur Ross Director of the Center on U.S.-China Relations at the Asia Society in New York. He previously served as Dean of the University of California, Berkeley Graduate School of Journalism.

paragraph: Section::::Background and education.

paragraph: Schell's father Orville Hickok Schell, Jr., was a prominent lawyer who headed the New York City Bar Association, chaired the human rights group Americas Watch from its founding in 1981 until his death in 1987, co-founded Helsinki Watch, forerunner to Human Rights Watch, and became the namesake of the Orville H. Schell, Jr. Center for International Human Rights at Yale Law School. Orville Schell III is the older brother of writer Jonathan Schell.

paragraph: Schell attended Pomfret School in Pomfret, Connecticut, after which he attended Harvard University, leaving in 1960 after his junior year to study Chinese, first at Stanford University and then at National Taiwan University from 1961 to 1964. While in Taiwan, Schell began writing columns for the "Boston Globe" as its "Man in Asia". He then returned to Harvard and studied Asian history, culture and politics under John Fairbank and Edwin Reischauer, and completed his bachelor's degree in 1964.

paragraph: In 1964-65 Schell worked for the Ford Foundation in Jakarta, Indonesia. He then pursued Chinese studies at the University of California, Berkeley, earning a master's degree in 1967, becoming researcher for sociology and history professor Franz Schurmann (head of the school's Center for Chinese Studies) on a three-volume work "The China Reader" (1967, Random House). Schell was named as a co-author, establishing him as a China scholar, expert and pundit on Asia.

paragraph: Schell continued his academic studies at University of California, Berkeley, completing all but his Ph.D. dissertation. As anti-Vietnam War protests shook the campus, he became involved in anti-war activism and journalism, and in 1967 he signed the "Writers and Editors War Tax Protest" pledge, vowing to refuse to pay tax as a protest against the Vietnam War.

paragraph: Section::::Journalism career.

paragraph: In 1969 Schell and Schurmann co-founded Pacific News Service (PNS) to create and distribute news and commentary from a broader spectrum of voices, especially viewpoints from abroad. The PNS was critical of the United States role in Indochina during the Vietnam War and supportive of establishing diplomatic relations with the PRC.

paragraph: Before his 1974 departure for China, Schell had already published three scholarly books, "The China Reader", "Starting Over: A College Reader" and "Modern China: The Story of a Revolution".

paragraph: In 1975 Schell and his younger brother Jonathan Schell (who would later write the bestseller The Fate of the Earth, and join "The Nation" and the Nation Institute) became correspondents at "The New Yorker". Schell has also served as a correspondent for the "Atlantic Monthly" and the "New Republic". He has written widely for many other magazine and newspapers, including "The New Yorker", "Time" magazine, "Harper's", "The Nation", "The New York Review of Books", "Wired", "Foreign Affairs", "Newsweek", the "China Quarterly", and the "New York Times", "Washington Post" and "Los Angeles Times".

paragraph: In 1980 Schell won an Alicia Patterson Journalism Fellowship to research and write about the reliance on drugs in the U.S. meat industry.

paragraph: He has also been a co-producer for the Public Broadcasting Service (PBS) production center WGBH-TV in Boston (1984), NBC Nightly News (1987), CBS' 60 Minutes (1991), and helped produce Peter Jennings' specials at ABC Television. In 1994 he worked for the PBS documentary program Frontline.

paragraph: In 1992 Schell won an Emmy Award and an Alfred I. duPont Award - Columbia University Silver Baton for producing 60 Minutes' "Made in China", a documentary about the 1989 Tiananmen Square massacre. In 1997, Schell won a George Peabody Award for his production of Frontline's documentary Gate of Heavenly Peace.

paragraph: Schell's selection as Dean of the UC Berkeley Graduate School of Journalism elicited one unusual attack from right-wing radio talk show host and health guru, Michael Savage, who alleged the head of the search committee, sociology professor Troy Duster, had refused to interview him. Savage considered himself a qualified conservative journalist for the job, and claimed that Schell's appointment constituted political patronage, which is illegal under California's labor laws. The suit also argued that a political litmus test for the deanship illegally denied public employment and First Amendment rights to a conservative applicant. The lawsuit was dropped as having little merit and when all conservative applicants withdrew from consideration.

paragraph: During his tenure at UC Berkeley, Schell was responsible for the hirings of Christopher Hitchens, Michael Lewis, Cynthia Gorney, Michael Pollan, Louis Rossetto, Charles Ferguson, Barbara Ehrenreich, Mark Danner, Steve Wasserman, Stephen Talbot and Tom Engelhardt, among others.

paragraph: In April 2006, Schell announced his intention to resign as dean.

paragraph: Schell is now the Arthur Ross Director of the Center on U.S.-China Relations at the Asia Society in New York, which focuses on multimedia journalism, original research and public events to bring attention to areas of mutual interest to the United States and China. Since its inception, the Center has focused primarily on issues of energy and global climate change. Schell is currently overseeing "The China Boom Project", "On Thinner Ice", a joint multimedia project with David Breashears' "Glacier Research Imaging Project" (GRIP) and MediaStorm, and a new policy effort to maximize American interest in response to investment from China.

paragraph: A frequent participant in the World Economic Forum, Schell is a member of the Council on Foreign Relations, The Climate Policy Initiative, GE's Eco Imagination Advisory Board and the Council on the Future of Media, which claims to be "championing a new global, independent news and information service whose role is to inform, educate and improve the state of the world-one that would take advantage of all platforms of content delivery from mobile to satellite and online to create a new global network".

paragraph: Section::::Farming career.

paragraph: Schell has criticized factory farming. In 1976 he published "The Town That Fought to Save Itself", about the San Francisco suburb of Bolinas, where he has a ranch. In 1978 he co-founded the company Niman Ranch (then named "Niman-Schell") with Bill Niman with the objective of raising cattle in a humane and environmentally sound manner. He left the company in 1999. In 1984 he published the book "", criticizing meat production in the United States.

paragraph: Section::::Views on China.

paragraph: Schell first visited the People's Republic of China in 1974, during the last years of Mao Zedong. After Mao's death, Schell wrote: "He conceived of the Chinese revolution, and then helped cause it to happen. And, in the process, the thought of Chairman Mao became inculcated in almost every Chinese. The word almost literally became flesh. And it seemed clear, even before Mao died, that his death could not erase the way in which he had almost become transubstantiated in his people."

paragraph: In 2004 Schell called China's Communist-Capitalist mix "Leninist capitalism".

paragraph: In an interview with Terri Gross of NPR's Fresh Air broadcast November 19, 2009, Schell stated that whether or not China's "autocratic capitalism" could deliver economic growth better than democracy was a question he faced "with some trepidation." He suggests the Chinese form of government may be more adaptive than democracy because it is not encumbered by the special interest power blocks found in the United States, and can sometimes be able to act more decisively to deal with the complexities of the world of today, although it can also more quickly implement poor decisions. But, he emphasized that he personally preferred living in an open society.

paragraph: Natsuki Taiyo

paragraph: Section::::Professional wrestling career.:All Japan Women's Pro-Wrestling (2003–2004).

paragraph: In 2003, Mizushima entered All Japan Women's Pro-Wrestling (AJW) dojo, where she was trained by Animal Hamaguchi in not only professional wrestling, but also mixed martial arts. On December 19, 2003, Mizushima made her MMA debut at an AJW event, losing to Mika "Hari Hari" Harigai at 2:10 in the first round, after being knocked out with knee strikes. She has not participated in any mixed martial arts fights since. Mizushima's professional wrestling debut took place on January 3, 2004, when she faced Hiromi Takahashi at an AJW event in Korakuen Hall, Tokyo. Mizushima would leave AJW, which was battling severe financial difficulties, later that year.

paragraph: Section::::Professional wrestling career.:Gatokunyan and Pro Wrestling Sun (2005–2008).

paragraph: In May 2005, Mizushima joined the Gatokunyan promotion, where she began performing under the ring name "Natsuki☆Head". During late 2005 and early 2006, she also made several appearances for the new Ibuki promotion. On June 5, 2006, Natsuki☆Head won her first championship by defeating Hikari for Dramatic Dream Team's Ironman Heavymetalweight Championship, a title contested under the rules that a champion could be pinned or submitted anytime, anywhere, as long as there was a referee present. She held the title for nine days, before losing it to Mecha Mummy. On June 25, Natsuki regained the title from Masahiro Mekanashi during a battle royal, but would lose it to Mikami later during the same match.

paragraph: On August 2, 2006, Nanae Takahashi announced that, with the backing of Pro Wrestling Zero1, she was forming a new promotion, named Pro Wrestling Sun, and named Natsuki☆Head as part of the promotion's roster. On September 24, Mizushima announced that she was changing her ring name to "Natsuki☆Taiyo". On December 31, Taiyo made her debut for NEO Japan Ladies Pro Wrestling, defeating Fuka for the Princess of Pro-Wrestling Championship, a title owned by the JDStar promotion. On February 21, 2007, Taiyo defeated Amazing Kong and Toshie Uematsu to win Pro Wrestling Sun's World-1 Women's Championship. She would hold the title for three months, before losing it to Kyoko Kimura on May 27. Shortly afterwards, Taiyo was stripped of the Princess of Pro-Wrestling Championship, after she had not defended the title for three months. While working in Pro Wrestling Sun, Taiyo formed a tag team with Nanae Takahashi, with whom she would also make semi-regular appearances for JWP Joshi Puroresu, with the two unsuccessfully challenging Kayoko Haruyama and Tsubasa Kuragaki for the JWP Tag Team Championship on December 9, 2007.

paragraph: Section::::Professional wrestling career.:Passion Red (2008–2010).

paragraph: In April 2008, Taiyo and Nanae Takahashi left Pro Wrestling Sun and formed the Passion Red stable with Kana on the Japanese independent circuit. The stable made appearances for several promotions, including Big Japan Pro Wrestling (BJW), Ice Ribbon, JWP, Oz Academy and NEO Japan Ladies Pro Wrestling, which effectively became its home promotion. Passion Red also promoted five independent events of its own. Passion Red made its debut for NEO on August 24, 2008, when Taiyo and Kana were defeated in a tag team match by Hiroyo Matsumoto and Kyoko Inoue. In their first six-woman tag team match on October 26, Taiyo, Kana and Takahashi defeated the trio of Etsuko Mita, Toshie Uematsu and Yoshiko Tamura. While feuding with the NEO originals led by Tamura, Passion Red also got involved with rival group Revolucion Amandla of Atsuko Emoto, Kyoko Kimura and Tomoka Nakagawa. On December 31 at "Grand Final '08", Taiyo and Kana faced Ayumi Kurihara and Yoshiko Tamura in a match to determine the number one contenders to the NEO Tag Team Championship. At the end of the match, after a botched "Taiyo-chan☆Bomb", Taiyo legitimately knocked Kurihara out with a kick to the face and then pinned her for the win with the "Iguchi Bomb". The Passion Red duo received their shot at the NEO Tag Team Championship on February 21, 2009, but were defeated by the defending champions, Atsuko Emoto and Kyoko Kimura. On April 19, Passion Red and Revolucion Amandla wrestled to a 30-minute time limit draw in a six-woman tag team match.

paragraph: On May 5, Taiyo defeated Ray to become the first NEO High Speed Champion. The chemistry between Taiyo and Ray led to the two forming a tag team for July's Mid Summer Tag Tournament VIII. Though the team was eliminated from the tournament in the first round by Emi Sakura and Nanae Takahashi, the partnership eventually led to Ray joining Passion Red under the ring name Passion Ray. During 2009, Passion Red was also joined by Kazumi Shimouna and Yumiko Hotta. On July 25, Taiyo made her first High Speed Championship defense, defeating Io Shirai, and followed that up by successfully defending the title against Fuka on August 29. On September 20, Taiyo lost the NEO High Speed Championship to Kaori Yoneyama in her third defense. On November 22, Taiyo and Passion Ray received a shot at their fellow Passion Red members' Kana's and Nanae Takahashi's NEO Tag Team Championship, but were unable to become the new champions. On December 31, Taiyo faced male wrestler Kenny Omega in a losing effort. On February 14, 2010, Taiyo regained the NEO High Speed Championship from Yoneyama at a JWP event. On March 19, she successfully defended the title against Tomoka Nakagawa at Passion Red's fourth independent event. On May 3, she defended the title against Tsukasa Fujimoto at an Ice Ribbon event. On June 5, Taiyo made her final appearance for NEO, which would fold at the end of the year. On November 27, Taiyo lost the NEO High Speed Championship to Leon at Passion Red's fifth independent event.

paragraph: Section::::Professional wrestling career.:World Wonder Ring Stardom (2010–2014).

paragraph: On September 7, 2010, at a press conference, where Nanae Takahashi unveiled her new World Wonder Ring Stardom promotion, Taiyo was announced as part of the promotion's roster. The promotion's debut event on January 23, 2011, saw Taiyo team up with Yuzuki Aikawa in the opening tag team match, where they were defeated by the team of Iris and Nanae Takahashi. Later that same event, Taiyo worked under a mask and the ring name Passion Nakki, facing nine-year-old Haruka in a three-minute exhibition match. The following month, Taiyo formed the tag team Kawasaki Katsushika Saikyou Densetsu with the recently debuted Yoshiko, the two defeating Iris and Yoko Bito in their first match together. Taiyo's and Yoshiko's win streak was ended on May 29, when they were defeated by Nanae Takahashi and Yoko Bito. Also in May, freelancer Yuu Yamagata aligned herself with Taiyo and Yoshiko, forming the stable Trouble Maker 2. On July 24, Taiyo defeated JWP representative Leon to regain the former NEO High Speed Championship, which was then, as a result, adopted by Stardom as one of its championships. On October 10, Taiyo and Yoshiko entered the Goddesses of Stardom Tag League. On October 27, Taiyo represented Stardom in Sendai Girls' Pro Wrestling's Joshi Puroresu Dantai Taikou Flash tournament, a single-elimination tournament, where different "joshi" promotions battled each other. In their first round match, Team Stardom (Taiyo, Mayu Iwatani, Saki Kashima, Yoko Bito and Yoshiko) defeated Team Reina (Aki Kanbayashi, Aoi Ishibashi, La Comandante, Yumiko Hotta and Zeuxis). The semifinals of the tournament were contested in six-woman tag team format and saw Team Stardom (Taiyo, Bito and Nanae Takahashi) defeat Team Diana (Kaoru Ito, Kyoko Inoue and Sareee). However, in the finals, the Stardom duo of Takahashi and Yoshiko were defeated by Team Sendai's Kagetsu and Meiko Satomura. On November 12, Taiyo unsuccessfully challenged Nanae Takahashi for the World of Stardom Championship. When the Goddesses of Stardom Tag League concluded on November 27, Taiyo and Yoshiko finished with two wins and one loss, making it to the finals of the tournament, where they were defeated by Yuzuki Aikawa and Yoko Bito, whom they had defeated earlier in the tournament.

paragraph: In February 2012, the recently debuted Act Yasukawa joined Taiyo and Yoshiko as the third member of Trouble Maker 2, effectively replacing Yuu Yamagata, whose Stardom appearances became more irregular. On March 20, 2012, Taiyo and Yoshiko received another shot at the Goddess of Stardom Championship, but were again defeated by Aikawa and Bito. Five days later, Taiyo made her first successful defense of the High Speed Championship, defeating Io Shirai. On May 3, Kyoko Kimura turned on Miho Wakizawa and joined Taiyo, Yoshiko and Yasukawa as the fourth member of their newly renamed stable, Kawasaki Katsushika Saikyou Densetsu Plus One, often shortened to Kawakatsu-gun. On June 10, Saki Kashima turned on Yuzuki Aikawa's Zenryoku Joshi stable and became the fifth member of Kawakatsu-gun. On June 24, Taiyo led Kashima, Yasukawa and Yoshiko to a win over Kairi Hojo, Yoko Bito, Yuhi and Yuzuki Aikawa of Zenryoku Joshi in an eight-woman battle of the stables. However, the following month Kawakatsu-gun broke up into two camps, when Yoshiko sided with Kyoko Kimura in her disagreement with Taiyo. On July 22, Taiyo and Act Yasukawa were defeated in a tag team match by Kimura and Yoshiko, with Kimura pinning Taiyo for the win. On August 5, Taiyo defeated Kimura in a grudge match to retain her spot as the leader of Kawakatsu-gun, which led to Kimura quitting the stable. From August 19 to September 30, Taiyo took part in the 5★Star GP2012 round-robin tournament, where she opened up with wins over Kairi Hojo and Miho Wakizawa, before losing to Kyoko Kimura on September 2. Taiyo then wrestled Saki Kashima to a draw and finished her tournament with a win over Dark Angel, whick took her to the top of her block. However, later in the day, Kyoko Kimura defeated Kawakatsu-gun member Saki Kashima to overtake Taiyo in the standings, eliminating her from the finals of the tournament. On October 21, Taiyo made her second successful defense of the High Speed Championship against stablemate Saki Kashima. On October 27, Taiyo and Yoshiko entered the 2012 Goddesses of Stardom Tag League, suffering an upset loss against the team of Io Shirai and Mayu Iwatani in their opening round-robin match. They, however, bounced back with wins over Eri Susa and Nozomi, and Yuhi and Yuzuki Aikawa to win their block. On November 25, Taiyo and Yoshiko defeated Kairi Hojo and Natsumi Showzuki to win the 2012 Goddesses of Stardom Tag League and the vacant Goddess of Stardom Championship. Taiyo and Yoshiko made their first successful title defense on December 24 against Zenryoku Joshi representatives Hiroyo Matsumoto and Yuhi. On December 31, Taiyo and Nanae Takahashi reformed Passion Red for a special appearance at Ice Ribbon's "RibbonMania 2012" event, where they defeated Muscle Venus (Hikaru Shida and Tsukasa Fujimoto) in a tag team match.

paragraph: On January 14, 2013, Taiyo and Kawakatsu-gun stablemates Act Yasukawa and Saki Kashima first defeated Nanae Gundan (Miho Wakizawa, Tsukasa Fujimoto and Yui Yokoo) in the first round and then Team Shimmer (Kellie Skater, Portia Perez and Tomoka Nakagawa) in the finals to become the inaugural Artist of Stardom Champions, making Taiyo a triple champion in the promotion. Six days later, Taiyo and Yoshiko defeated Thunder Rock (Io Shirai and Mayu Iwatani) to make their second successful defense of the Goddess of Stardom Championship. This was followed by their third successful defense against Nanamiho (Miho Wakizawa and Nanae Takahashi) on February 10. On March 3, Taiyo made her third successful defense of the High Speed Championship, when she wrestled freelancer Kaori Yoneyama to a thirty-minute time limit draw. On March 17, Taiyo and Yoshiko lost the Goddess of Stardom Championship to Kimura Monster-gun representatives Hailey Hatred and Kyoko Kimura in their fourth title defense. On April 29 at "Ryōgoku Cinderella", Taiyo made her fourth successful defense of the High Speed Championship against Yuhi. On May 9, Kawasaki Katsushika Saikyou Densetsu was stripped of the Artist of Stardom Championship, after both Kashima and Yasukawa had been sidelined with injuries. On June 2, Taiyo lost the High Speed Championship to Kaori Yoneyama in her fifth defense, ending her third reign at 679 days. On July 15, Taiyo and Yoshiko attempted to regain the vacant Goddess of Stardom Championship in a one-night tournament. After defeating Thunder Rock, the two made it to the finals of the tournament, where they were defeated by Nanamiho. On August 17, Taiyo also attempted to regain the Artist of Stardom Championship with stablemates Act Yasukawa and Yoshiko, but the three were defeated by the defending champions, Kairi Hojo, Kaori Yoneyama and Yuhi. At the conclusion of the event, Yasukawa turned on Taiyo and Yoshiko and jumped to Kimura Monster-gun. From August 25 to September 23, Taiyo took part in 5★Star GP2013, where she finished with a record of two wins, one draw and two losses, with a loss against Nanae Takahashi on the final day costing her a spot in the finals. In November, Taiyo and Yoshiko became the only team to have taken part in all three Goddesses of Stardom Tag tournaments. The two made it to the semifinals of the tournament, before losing to Kimura Monster-gun representatives Alpha Female and The Female Predator "Amazon".

paragraph: On December 29, Taiyo won the High Speed Championship for the fourth time, regaining the title from Yoneyama. Following the main event of the evening, Taiyo challenged World of Stardom Champion Io Shirai. On January 12, 2014, Taiyo celebrated her tenth anniversary in professional wrestling by reuniting with Nanae Takahashi in a tag team main event, where they defeated Mayu Iwatani and Yoshiko. On January 26 at Stardom's third anniversary event, Taiyo unsuccessfully challenged Shirai for the World of Stardom Championship. Following the match, Taiyo announced she would be retiring from professional wrestling on June 1. On February 2, Taiyo defeated Kaori Yoneyama in a rematch to make her first successful defense of the High Speed Championship. On March 16, Taiyo was defeated by Yoshiko in the final match between the longtime tag team partners. Taiyo continued making successful defenses of the High Speed Championship, defeating Mayu Iwatani on April 6 and Kaori Yoneyama in a two out of three falls match on April 29. Later in the event, Taiyo offered to make her final defense of the title against World of Stardom Champion Io Shirai, noting that she had also made her first ever defense of the title against her in July 2009. On May 3, Taiyo and Yoshiko teamed up for what was billed as Kawasaki Katsushika Saikyou Densetsu's final match together, where they defeated Shirai and Nanae Takahashi. Three days later, Taiyo lost the High Speed Championship to Shirai. After announcing her retirement, Taiyo began making farewell appearances for several other promotions, including Gatoh Move Pro Wrestling, Ice Ribbon, JWP Joshi Puroresu, and Sendai Girls' Pro Wrestling, while also working independent events produced by Chigusa Nagayo and Ray. On May 24, Passion Red reunited for their sixth self-produced event, during which Taiyo wrestled three times, including in an exhibition tag team match with her idol Momoe Nakanishi, who had retired in 2005, and in a tag team main event, where she and Nanae Takahashi defeated Command Bolshoi and Meiko Satomura. On June 1, Taiyo was defeated by Nanae Takahashi in her retirement match.

paragraph: Beryl McBurnie

paragraph: Beryl Eugenia McBurnie (2 November 1913 – 3 March 2000) was a Trinidadian dancer. She established the Little Carib Theatre, and promoted the culture and arts of Trinidad and Tobago as her life's work. She helped to promote the cultural legitimacy of Trinidad and Tobago that would ultimately arm its people to handle independence psychologically and healthily. McBurnie dedicated her life to dance, becoming one of the greatest influences on modern Trinidadian pop culture.

paragraph: Section::::Early life.

paragraph: At the age of eight years she was invited to recite the "Sycamore Tree" for a charity concert in the district. Soon after that she set about gathering children from the neighbourhood to form a group, which would present concerts. The first concert planned did not take place, but she and her friends tried again, borrowing chairs from neighbours. This time the performance was well appreciated and this successful venture encouraged her to continue.

paragraph: Beryl McBurnie began dancing as a child, performing regularly in dances and plays at Tranquility Girls' School, Port-of-Spain. In her youth she performed Scottish reels, jigs, and other British folk dances that the teacher instructed. Though she appreciated their beauty, she yearned for more. In her teens, she decided to focus on promoting "the emotions of the folk, and which in some cases gave an insight into the history and the way of life of the ordinary people."

paragraph: Section::::Rise to prominence.

paragraph: On leaving Tranquility Girls School, McBurnie became a teacher and used this opportunity to engage in the extracurricular activities surrounding the preparation for school concerts, play productions and operettas. She danced at every opportunity that came her way, at the same time becoming quite accomplished at piano and in the use of voice.

paragraph: She trained at Mausica Teachers' College and started her career teaching in Port-of-Spain. She instead decided to pursue her dream career in folk-dance after touring the country with Trinidad's leading folklorist, Andrew Carr. Many melodies and folk dances that would have been lost to Trinidad and Tobago were rescued by McBurnie and promoted in her dancing. In 1938, she enrolled at Columbia University in New York and studied dance with dance pioneer Martha Graham. McBurnie also worked with American modern dancer and choreographer Charles Weidman, African-American choreographer Katharine Dunham, and studied eurhythmics with Elisa Findlay - a student of Emile Jacques Dalcroze. McBurnie also taught Trinidadian dance at the New Dance Group

paragraph: Beryl McBurnie was the first person to promote primitive and Caribbean dance. In 1938 when Katherine Dunham arrived in New York from Chicago, McBurnie taught her privately the rhythms and dances of the West Indies. During these sessions she taught Dunham ritual chants and from the Shango of Trinidad and dances such as the Bongo - a dance done at wakes - and Kalinda, a dance between two opponents using sticks in a mock battle.

paragraph: In 1940, McBurnie enjoyed a brief return to Trinidad. She presented "A Trip Through the Tropics" at the Empire Theatre, Port of Spain. McBurnie combined Caribbean and Brazilian dances with interpretations of New York and modern dances, performed to the music of Wagner, Beethoven and Bach, to a packed audience. Her performances sold out.

paragraph: She returned to New York in 1941 and stayed until 1945. During that time she began teaching classes in West Indian dance and she organized the material in an educational yet attractive package which she used in a series of lecture demonstrations and lecture recitals.

paragraph: She also danced and sang with Sam Manning and his ensemble, in the production of the only known calypso "soundies," film clips made for film jukeboxes located in restaurants and bars.

paragraph: She became a popular teacher at the New Dance Group, where in 1942 Pearl Primus was a student. Primus, like Katherine Dunham, studied West Indian dance from McBurnie and joined the group, which appeared at various venues in New York.

paragraph: In 1941 McBurnie assumed a pseudonym name "La Bella Rosette" and performed professionally under that stage name. She was booked to perform at "coffee concerts" at the Museum of Modern Art by philanthropist Louise Crane, then a young theatrical agent. The poet Hilda Doolittle wrote a very positive review of her "coffee concert" showing. After her "coffee concert" performances, "La Belle Rosette" performed at the Brooklyn Academy of Music and the 92nd Street Y alongside American dancers Doris Humphrey and Martha Graham. . In June 1942 McBurnie replaced Carmen Miranda in the hit Broadway musical revue "Sons o' Fun" at the Winter Garden Theatre. A review of her performance in the People voice of New York, a reporter wrote “Belle Rosette the talented Trinidadian performer scheduled to take Carmen Miranda’s role in the hit show Son O’Fun...amply proved to an enthusiastic audience at the Y.M.H.A on Sunday evening, that she has ‘what it takes’-in the Broadway parlance."

paragraph: Between 1942 and 1945, McBurnie made several appearances at places such as Hunter College, Henry Street Settlement Playhouse in New York, Madison Square Gardens, The Village Gate and New York City College.

paragraph: During that time, she also completed two further study periods at Columbia, where she studied Dramatic Arts, Painting, Music and other Creative Arts courses that she considered important for her work.

paragraph: Section::::Creation of The Little Carib Theatre.

paragraph: McBurnie left the United States in 1945 at the height of her popularity in New York to become a dance instructor with the Trinidad and Tobago government's Education Department in 1945. In 1948 she established the first permanent folk-dance company and theatre in Trinidad. Her first show was "Bele" (pronounced Bay-lay) pre-carnival 1948 at her newly opened Little Carib Theatre in Woodbrook, Port of Spain. Paul Robeson laid the cornerstone of the building during a tour of the Caribbean in 1948. Among the many highlights of her work from this period were "Talking Drums"; "Carnival Bele", in which the j'ouvert ballet danced to a steel band; "Sugar Ballet"; "Caribbean Cruise"; and "Parang". She is considered to be one of the foremothers of Parang music.

paragraph: By the 1960s, the work of the Little Carib Dance Company had been recognised and celebrated overseas, performing at such events as the Caribbean Festival of Arts in Puerto Rico in 1952, the Jamaica Tercentenary Celebrations in 1955 and the opening of the Federal Parliament of Toronto in April 1958. In fact, the celebration in Canada in 1958 would influence the way Caribbean culture was understood in Canada. Her performances in Canada helped pave the way for Canada's Caribana festival in the 1960s. In 1965 the Little Carib building, no longer safe in Port-of-Spain, had to be closed down and was re-built in three years. However the permanent dance troupe had disbanded and McBurnie instead focused her energies on teaching children.

paragraph: Section::::Recognition and passing.

paragraph: In 1950 McBurnie was appointed the director of dance in the Education Department. The British Council sent her on a dance tour of England and Europe. In 1959 she was appointed OBE, and in 1969 she was presented with the Hummingbird Gold Medal of Trinidad and Tobago. In 1976 the University of the West Indies conferred on her the honorary degree of Doctor of Laws and in America in 1978 she was honoured along with Katharine Dunham and Pearl Primus at the Twentieth Anniversary Gala of the Alvin Ailey Theater. In 1989, McBurnie received the Trinity Cross, the highest national award in Trinidad and Tobago then, for Promotion of the Arts. She died on 30 March 2000.

paragraph: Tsugaru Nobuhira

paragraph: Section::::Biography.

paragraph: Tsugaru Nobuhira was born in 1586 as the third son of Ōura Tamenobu, head of the Ōura clan. In 1596, with his two elder brothers Nobutake and Nobukata, he is known to have converted to Christianity.

paragraph: In 1600, at the Battle of Sekigahara, he accompanied his father as part of Tokugawa Ieyasu's Eastern Army, and served in Ieyasu's retinue. At the same time, his elder brother Nobutake was at Osaka Castle and served as a page to Toyotomi Hideyori. This was a similar situation as with the Sanada clan, where two brothers fought on opposing sides, which ensured the clan's survival whichever side won. Ōura Tamenobu was also on good terms with Ishida Mitsunari, the leader of the pro-Toyotomo Western Army, and provided protection for Ishida's son and daughter in Tsugaru after the defeat of the Western Army. As a reward for his services at the battle of Sekigahara, the clan was given only a nominal 2000 "koku" increase in "kokudaka" with an estate in Kōzuke Province. Also after the battle, Ōura Tamenobu changed the clan name to "Tsugaru".

paragraph: On Tamenobu’s death in 1607, Nobuhira became head of the Tsugaru clan over the objections of a faction which supported his nephew Tsugaru Kumachiyo (1600–1623), the young son of Nobutake. This was the first of many "O-Ie Sōdō" internal conflicts in the Tsugaru clan during the Edo period. An "O-Ie Sōdō" placed the domain in danger of attainer, but the issue was resolved through the arbitration of the Tokugawa shogunate giving Nobuhira the title of "daimyō".

paragraph: From 1609 to 1611, Nobuhira rushed to complete Takaoka Castle, demolishing other castles in his domains for buildings and materials to speed up construction. The completed castle, with its huge five-story donjon was on a scale far larger than typical for a 47,000 "koku" "daimyō". To secure his position vis-à-vis the Tokugawa shogunate, he married Tokugawa Ieyasu's niece (the widow of Fukushima Masayuki), Mate-hime (1589–1638). Nobuhira was already married at the time to Tatsu-hime, a daughter of Ishida Mitsunari. She was demoted in status to concubine and exiled to the clan's small subsidiary holding in Kozuke Province.

paragraph: In 1614, Nobuhira dispatched his forces in support of the Tokugawa at the Osaka Winter Campaign. He was ordered initially remain on garrison duty in Edo before being told to return to his home domain to guard against unrest from other northern domains who might come out in support of the Toyotomi. In June 1619, Ieyasu demoted Fukushima Masanori from Hiroshima Domain to Hirosaki Domain, with the Tsugaru clan ordered to be transferred to Echigo Province. The Tsugaru clan strongly protested this move and, through the assistance of the influential priest Nankōbō Tenkai, were able to get the Fukushima clan transferred to Nakajima Domain in Shinano Province instead.

paragraph: In September 1627, a lightning strike set the five-story donjon of Takaoka Castle on fire, which caused a warehouse filled with gunpowder to explode. The fire quickly spread to other parts of the castle and surrounding castle town. The castle was rebuilt on a smaller scale, and was renamed Hirosaki Castle in August 1628. Nobuhira developed Aomori port on Mutsu Bay as a main port for shipping to Edo, and for transit to the northern island of Ezo. He took steps to increase the rice production in his province by developing new paddy fields, irrigation, and by bringing in craftsmen and artisans from other parts of Japan.

paragraph: Nobuhira died on January 14, 1631, at the clan residence in Edo. His grave is at the temple of Shinryō-in (a subsidiary of Kan'ei-ji) in Taitō-ku, Tokyo.

paragraph: Nobuhira was succeeded by his eldest son, Tsugaru Nobuyoshi by his first wife Tatsuhime. Nobuhira had nine sons and four daughters. His second son, Tsugaru Nobufusa, by his second wife Mate-hime was given a 5000 "koku" "hatamoto" holding in Kuroishi, and was the ancestor of the future "daimyō" of Kuroishi Domain.

paragraph: Tsugaru Nobuyoshi

paragraph: Section::::Biography.

paragraph: Tsugaru Nobuyoshi was the eldest son of Tsugaru Nobuhira, 2nd "daimyō" of Hirosaki Domain, and was born at the domain’s exclave located in Kōzuke Province. His mother, Tatsu-hime, was the daughter of Ishida Mitsunari and had been demoted to the status of concubine and exiled to Kōzuke when Nobuhira married Tokugawa Ieyasu’s niece to secure his position vis-à-vis the Tokugawa shogunate. He was brought to the domain(s Edo residence in 1623, on the death of his mother. He was still 13 years old when his father died, and was ordered to report before "shōgun" Tokugawa Iemitsu together with his younger half-brother Tsugaru Nobufusa on his accession to the lordship.

paragraph: However, his position as the son of a concubine resulted in a split in the ranks of the senior retainers of Tsugaru Domain, with a large faction supporting Tsugaru Nobufusa due to his blood connection to the Tokugawa, and due to the fact that he was born as son of Nobuhira’s official wife. This resulted in an "O-Ie Sōdō" known as the "Funahashi Sōdō" of 1634, which was only suppressed with the assistance of the Tokugawa shogunate and which resulted in the exile of a number of Nobufusa’s supporters in 1636. Problems arose again in 1647 in what was called the "Shōhō Sōdō", with remaining supporters of Nobufusa demanding that Nobuyoshi retire in favour of his younger half-brother, alleging misgovernment through excessive drinking and womanizing.

paragraph: Nobuyoshi did have 25 sons and 26 daughters through a large number of concubines. However, he also continued his father’s works in increasing the production in his domain by developing new paddy fields, irrigation, and by developing copper and silver mines. He was also known as a "waka" poet.

paragraph: Nobuyoshi died on December 22, 1655, at the clan residence in Kanda, Edo, at the age of 37. His grave is at the temple of Myōju-ji in Setagaya-ku, Tokyo, and also the Tsugaru clan temples of Chōshō-ji and Hōon-ji in Hirosaki. Four of his senior retainers decided to follow him in death by committing "Junshi" .

paragraph: Nobuhira was succeeded by his eldest son, Tsugaru Nobumasa.
