paragraph: Joan Caulfield

paragraph: Beatrice Joan Caulfield (June 1, 1922 – June 18, 1991) was an American actress and model. After being discovered by Broadway producers, she began a stage career in 1943 that eventually led to signing as an actress with Paramount Pictures. In the opinion of Ephraim Katz in "The Film Encyclopedia", published in 1979, "For several years she was among Paramount's top stars, radiating delicate femininity and demure beauty but rarely much else."

paragraph: Section::::Early life.

paragraph: Beatrice Joan Caulfield was born on June 1, 1922 in West Orange, New Jersey. She attended Miss Beard's School in Orange, New Jersey. Caulfield was the niece of Genevieve Caulfield, who received the Presidential Medal of Freedom in 1963 for her work with blind children. During her teenage years, the family moved to New York City, where she eventually attended Columbia University. While at Columbia, Caulfield was active in many plays presented by the university's drama group. She also ventured into being a model with the Harry Conover Agency and "became a favorite with top-drawer fashion magazines," with her pictures appearing in many national magazines, including being on the cover of "Life" magazine's May 11, 1942, issue.

paragraph: Section::::Career.

paragraph: Section::::Career.:Stage.

paragraph: Caulfield appeared on Broadway in "Beat the Band" in 1942. Directed by George Abbott it ran for 67 performances.

paragraph: She had a great success portraying the troublesome teenager Corliss Archer in the 1943 hit comedy play "Kiss and Tell", also under the direction of Abbott. It was a huge success, running for 956 performances until 1945. After a year in the role, Caulfield left the production to pursue offers from Hollywood and she was replaced by her sister Betty Caulfield. (Shirley Temple would play Caulfield's role in the 1945 film version of "Kiss and Tell".) Paramount offered her a contract which gave her six months off a year to do a play.

paragraph: Section::::Career.:Film.

paragraph: In July 1944 Paramount put Caulfield in a lead role in her first film: "Miss Susie Slagle's" (1946), a drama about medical students with Sonny Tufts and Veronica Lake.

paragraph: The film was not released for a number of months due to a backlog of films. Made after but released earlier was "Duffy's Tavern" (1945), in which Caulfield had a cameo along with most of Paramount's talent roster.

paragraph: Caulfield was Bob Hope's leading lady in "Monsieur Beaucaire" (1946), a popular comedy.

paragraph: She was with Bing Crosby and Paul Draper in "Blue Skies" (1946). When original director Mark Sandrich died, Caulfield was pulled out of the film but Crosby insisted she stay. Eventually Draper was replaced with Fred Astaire. The result was a huge box office success. Caulfield waived her right to take time off to do stage work.

paragraph: Caulfield was teamed with William Holden in "Dear Ruth" (1947), based on the hit play by Norman Krasna.

paragraph: She was reunited with Crosby in "Welcome Stranger" (1947), another huge hit, and had a cameo in another all-star Paramount film, "Variety Girl" (1947).

paragraph: One of Caulfield's most memorable film roles was when she was loaned out to Warner Bros. to appear in "The Unsuspected" (1947) with Claude Rains and Audrey Totter. Caulfield, taking over a role intended for Virginia Mayo, was billed over Rains.

paragraph: Back at Paramount, Caulfield did "The Sainted Sisters" (1948) with Lake playing roles intended for Betty Hutton and Diana Lynn.

paragraph: Universal borrowed her for a film noir, "Larceny" (1948).

paragraph: Paramount offered Caulfield $100,000 for 40 weeks work but she walked out on it to do "Voice of the Turtle" and "Coquette" on stage on the east coast. She said she did this because "I want to become a really great actress one day," and felt she needed the experience from stage. "Actresses in the movies spend most of their acting time with the hairdresser and the costumer." She returned to Paramount to do a sequel to "Dear Ruth", "Dear Wife" (1948).

paragraph: Caulfield went to Columbia to make a musical with Robert Cummings, "The Petty Girl" (1950) which she said she did to change from the "sweet young thing" parts she did at Paramount. She said she intended on staying in Hollywood.

paragraph: She did a film for her husband's company, "The Lady Says No" (1951), releasing through United Artists.

paragraph: Section::::Career.:Television.

paragraph: In the early 50s Caulfield began guest starring on televisio shows such as "Robert Montgomery Presents", "Lux Video Theatre", "The Ford Television Theatre", "Schlitz Playhouse" and "Hollywood Opening Night". She said she preferred working in television.

paragraph: In 1953 she signed a contract with CBS. In the 1953 and 1954 seasons, she had co-starred with Barry Nelson (the original James Bond, albeit on television) in the television version of "My Favorite Husband", which was based upon the Lucille Ball radio series that had evolved into "I Love Lucy".

paragraph: She had a good support role in "The Rains of Ranchipur" (1955). In August 1955 she left her CBS contract to pursue feature work.

paragraph: She was in " Celebrity Playhouse", "Schlitz Playhouse" again, "Screen Directors Playhouse", and "The Ford Television Theatre" again.

paragraph: Being the subject of an episode of "This Is Your Life" in 1957 brought Caulfield to the attention of television executives. In the words of a newspaper writer, "She photographed so beautifully that the show was hardly over before she was being approached for television appearances."

paragraph: During the 1957–1958 season, Caulfield starred in "Sally", a short-lived situation comedy, in the role of a traveling companion to an elderly widow, played by Marion Lorne. At midseason, Gale Gordon and Arte Johnson joined the cast.

paragraph: When the series ended Caulfield continued to guest star on shows like "Pursuit", "General Electric Theater", "Hong Kong", "Cheyenne", "Burke's Law", and "My Three Sons". She did stage shows like "I Am a Camera" and had the occasional role in a feature, such as "Cattle King" (1963), "Red Tomahawk" (1967) and "Buckskin" (1967).

paragraph: In 1967, she starred in the TV series "The High Chaparral" as Annalee Cannon in the pilot episode. She was murdered in the episode and that was the premise for the whole plot.

paragraph: Section::::Career.:Later years.

paragraph: In the 1960s and 1970s, Caulfield was active in touring companies of plays, summer stock theater and dinner theater across the country. She guest starred in a 1966 episode of "My Three Sons" as Florence, a visiting former girlfriend who Steve could not remember ever knowing. She could be seen in the pilot for "The Magician" (1973), "The Daring Dobermans" (1973), "The Hatfields and the McCoys" (1975), "The Space-Watch Murders" (1975), "Pony Express Rider" (1976), and episodes of "Baretta" and "Murder, She Wrote".

paragraph: Section::::Recognition.

paragraph: Caulfield has a star at 1500 Vine Street in the Television section of the Hollywood Walk of Fame. It was dedicated February 8, 1960.

paragraph: Section::::Cultural legacy.

paragraph: An urban legend states that Caulfield's film "Dear Ruth" (1947) inspired author J.D. Salinger to name the protagonist of his novel "The Catcher in the Rye" (1951) "Holden Caulfield" after seeing a movie theater marquee with the film's stars: Caulfield and William Holden. However, Holden Caulfield was mentioned in Salinger's short story "Last Day of the Last Furlough" in the July 15, 1944 issue of the "Saturday Evening Post", three years before "Dear Ruth". The earliest known use of the Caulfield name, including a mention of Holden, is in the unpublished 1942 story "The Last and Best of the Peter Pans." A more common version of the legend claims that Salinger was taken by Joan Caulfield upon first seeing her in a modeling photo or a publicity still or an acting performance. Since Joan was a leading model by 1941 and her acting career began in 1942 with an appearance in the short-lived Broadway musical "Beat the Band", this version of the legend makes his using her surname for his character at least possible.

paragraph: Section::::Personal life.

paragraph: In 1950, Caulfield married film producer Frank Ross, with whom she had a son, Caulfield Kevin Ross (born 1959). Ross produced and directed her 1951 film "The Lady Says No", with David Niven taking second billing as her romantic interest. Caulfield was in a car accident in 1959. She separated from Ross, blaming the stress of working on "Sally", then she found out she was pregnant. Ross and Caulfield were divorced in 1960.

paragraph: In 1960, Caulfield married dentist Robert Peterson, with whom she had her second son, John Caulfield Peterson (born 1962). Her second marriage ended in divorce as well, in 1966.

paragraph: Caulfield was a Republican who campaigned for Dwight Eisenhower during the 1952 presidential election..

paragraph: Section::::Death.

paragraph: Caulfield died from cancer, aged 69, at Cedars-Sinai Medical Center in Los Angeles, and had lived in Beverly Hills, California. A.C. Lyles spoke the eulogy.

paragraph: At the time of her death, she had one grandchild. She died within 24 hours of actress Jean Arthur, the first wife of her husband Frank Ross. Arthur had been married to Ross in 1932, and they divorced in 1949.

paragraph: Ranna (Kannada poet)

paragraph: Ranna () was one of the earliest and arguably one of the greatest poets of the Kannada language. His style of writing is often compared to that of Adikavi Pampa who wrote in the early 10th century. Together, Ranna, Adikavi Pampa and Sri Ponna are called "three gems of ancient Kannada literature".

paragraph: Section::::Biography.

paragraph: Ranna was a 10th-century Kannada poet. He was born in 949 C.E. in ancient Muduvolal, known now as Mudhol in the Bagalkot district of the modern Karnataka state in India, to a family of bangle sellers.

paragraph: Section::::Literature.

paragraph: During his early days as a writer, Ranna may have been patronised by Chavundaraya (or Chavundaraya), the famous minister of the Western Ganga Dynasty. With the rise of the imperial Western Chalukya Empire, Ranna became an important poet in the court of King Tailapa II and his successor King Satyashraya who bestowed upon him the title "Kavi Chakravarti" ("lit", "Emperor among poets").

paragraph: The writings of Ranna are in "Halegannada" ("lit", "old Kannada"). Of the five known major works accomplished by him, two are available in full and one in part. They are: "Ajitha purana", "Parashuramacharithe" (extinct), "Saahasabhima Vijaya" (also known as "Gadaayuddha"), "Ranna Kanda" and "Chakresvaracharite" (extinct).

paragraph: Ajitha Purana (993 C.E.) is a Jain "champu" (a form of composition) "purana" written in twelve sections on the life of Ajitanatha, the second "Tirthankar". Ranna wrote this "purana" under the patronage of a Jain lady called Attimabbe, the wife of general Nagavarma. "Ranna Kanda" (990 C.E.), so called because it is written in the "Kanda" meter, is the earliest extant lexicon in the Kannada language. Only twelve sections of this writing are available. "Parusharama Charite" (around 980 C.E.) is a eulogy of the Ganga minister and commander Chamundaraya. The poet held his patron in such high esteem that he claims to have named his son "raya" in honor of his patron (who had the honorific "Samara Parashurama").

paragraph: "Saahasabhimavijaya" or "Gadayuddha" ("lit", "The duel of maces") is undoubtedly Ranna's magnum opus that was accomplished in an age of writings on "heroism", that describe the valor of important personalities ("vira rasa" and "roudrarasa"). Written around 1000 C.E. (though some scholars believe it was a product of a more youthful Ranna), it is one of the enduring classics of the language where the poet compares the valor of his patron Chalukya King Satyashraya to the Pandava prince Bhima of the Hindu epic Mahabharata. Ranna keeps with the trend started by Adikavi Pampa who in 941 C.E. compared his patron Chalukya King Arikesari (a Rashtrakuta vassal) to the Pandava prince Arjuna in the classic "Vikramarjunavijaya" (also called "Pampa Bharata"). While acknowledging that Ranna may have found some inspiration from earlier writings such as "Urubhanga" of Bhasa and "Venisamhara" or Bhattanarayana, scholars concede that "Gadayuddha" has an originality of its own. Modern scholars see similarities between Ranna's usage of the "adult imps" (called "murulgal") that stalk the battlefield of Kurukshetra and warn Kaurava prince Duryodhana (Bhima's adversary in battle) about his impending death, and the description of witches by latter day famed English playwright, Shakespeare. Some scholars believe that "Gadayuddha" may have been conceived as a play before being completed as a "champukavya" (epic poem in "kavya" style and "champu" meter).

paragraph: While the theme of the narration centers around the battle of maces between Bhima and Duryodhana on the last day of the eighteen-day war, the poet uses a technique similar to flashbacks in modern cinema to enlighten the reader with important events that led to the war and those events that transpired on the battlefield. Bhima is undoubtedly the hero of the day for slaying his foe and thus avenging the insult suffered by his wife Draupadi at the hands of Dushshasana (Duryodhana's brother) prior to the war. However, Ranna skillfully depicts Duryodhana as a "great soul" ("mahanubhava"), who despite his sins, was a brave "kshatriya" on the battlefield, and a true friend to Karna (another important character in the epic).

paragraph: Casey Chaos

paragraph: Casey Chaos (born Karim Chmielinski; October 9, 1969) is an American singer/songwriter, musician, and artist. His music has encompassed a number of styles over the years, including hardcore punk, death rock, and metal. He is the songwriter and vocalist of the band Amen.

paragraph: Section::::Early life and Amen.

paragraph: After seeing Black Flag for the first time, Chmielinski's life was forever changed. He started recording songs for his first hardcore band Casey and the Skate Punx, the name of which was later changed to Disorderly Conduct.

paragraph: Disorderly Conduct released one album — "Amen" — and were featured on various contemporary compilations, both on cassette and vinyl; the band included long-term associate U.S. Ken Decter (later Duke Decter) on guitar.

paragraph: As Disorderly Conduct began negotiating with Metal Blade Records for the release of their new recording "Atrocity", Chaos and band guitarist Duke Decter moved to California and changed the name of the band to the title of their first album, Amen. Upon meeting Rikk Agnew (Adolescents, D.I., Christian Death), Amen was briefly put into hibernation while the pair began a musical collaboration which led to Chaos playing bass for a short tour with the reunited original Christian Death. Afterwards, Chaos returned to Amen and recorded "Slave", a full length independent album which led to a record deal with Roadrunner Records and the 1999 official debut release of Amen's self-titled album "Amen". As the notorious actions of Casey Chaos and his band grew during the subsequent tour, Roadrunner released the band from their contract and they were swiftly picked up by Virgin Records. Casey Chaos and band found a home at their new label, which strongly pushed and promoted the band, leading to the release of their second album in 2001, the highly successful "We Have Come For Your Parents", also produced by Ross Robinson.

paragraph: In 2003 the band was once again released from their existing contract. Upon hearing this Daron Malakian of System of a Down sought to sign the band as his first acquisition for his newly created imprint label with Sony BMG, EatUrMusic Records. The label released Amen's "Death Before Music" in 2003, and a video for the single "California's Bleeding".

paragraph: In 2007, Amen performed on Season 2 of The Henry Rollins Show.

paragraph: Section::::Scum.

paragraph: In 2004 Casey Chaos began a side project consisting of Chaos, black metal icons Samoth and Bård Faust from Emperor, and Happy Tom from Turbonegro, and in 2005 Scum's "Gospels for the Sick" was released. The combined backgrounds of these musicians resulted in one of the first black metal/hardcore punk fusions ever recorded, and the album was nominated for the Alarm Awards (Norwegian music awards) in the metal category, but lost to Stonegard. The album also has guest appearances including Mortiis and Nocturno Culto of Darkthrone.

paragraph: Section::::Other projects beyond Amen.

paragraph: In 2003, Chaos collaborated with EatUrMusic label partner Daron Malakian to form a side project called Scars On Broadway.

paragraph: In 2006, Chaos performed with Rat Scabies and Brian James, former members of original 1976 English punk band the Damned to celebrate the 30-year anniversary of the release of their debut album "Damned Damned Damned", by performing the album in its entirety at London's historic 100 Club. In the same year, Casey Chaos received a Grammy Award Certificate for co-writing "B.Y.O.B." for the band System of a Down. The credit was revoked in 2010 after a court case precipitated by Chaos' selling some of his interest to a third party.

paragraph: In 2012 Chaos collaborated with Ross Robinson again for a movie documentary entitled "House Of Shock", also featuring Dave Lombardo of Slayer fame on drums and Gary Holt of Exodus on guitar.

paragraph: Section::::2012 Arrest.

paragraph: Chmielinski was arrested in Los Angeles on July 5, 2012 after he allegedly smashed his SUV into parked cars in the Studio City area of Los Angeles. Some reports indicated that as many as fifteen vehicles were allegedly hit, but a more accurate statistic appears to be three. Police state that the musician abandoned his vehicle after causing the destruction but they were able to track him down at his home. After testing, the musician registered a blood alcohol level just above .08 — the legal limit in California. Although a neighbor witnessed the entire alcohol test and said, "he was stumbling all over the sidewalk", the reading reveals that Chaos had consumed slightly upwards of a single beer in what was curiously publicized as an alleged "drunken demolition derby".

paragraph: Robert S. Roeschlaub

paragraph: Robert Sawers Roeschlaub (July 6, 1843 – October 25, 1923) was a noted Colorado architect.

paragraph: Section::::Biography.

paragraph: Roeschlaub was born in Munich, Bavaria, Germany to Michael, private physician to the King of Bavaria, and Margaretta, his Scotland-born mother. The family emigrated to the United States in 1845, living in Missouri at first, but settling in Quincy, Illinois.

paragraph: In August 1862, Robert enlisted from Quincy in the 84th Illinois Infantry - Company E as a sergeant, was promoted to Second Lieutenant in May 1863, promoted again to First Lieutenant in March 1865, and promoted to Captain on June 6, 1865 but never mustered with that rank as two days later he mustered out with the rank of First Lieutenant. He was wounded twice during the Civil War, first in 1862 during the Battle of Stones River and later in 1863 at the Battle of Chickamauga.

paragraph: After the war he returned to Quincy, marrying Anna Fisher in 1868. He began studying architecture under Robert Bunce, relocating to Denver, Colorado in 1873 and practicing as Robert S. Roeschlaub. In 1903, a son joined the practice and the firm was renamed Roeschlaub & Son, which continued until Robert's retirement in 1912. He designed numerous schools, college buildings, churches and residences and commercial buildings. He was one of three curators at the Colorado Historical Society and worked on improving Denver's building code.

paragraph: He was elected to the American Institute of Architects in 1889 and the College of Fellows of the AIA elevated Roeschlaub to Fellow in 1900. He was President of AIA Colorado from 1892 to 1912. In 1909 when the architect's licensing law was passed, Roeschlaub was given license Number One.

paragraph: Denver commercial buildings he is credited with designing include the King Block (1879), Bancroft Block (1880), Times Building (1881), Union Block (1881), Barth Block (1881), A.T. Lewis & Son Dept. Store (1894;1902) and the I.F. Williams Store (1902). Only the Lewis Department Store and the Hover Drug Co. Buildings remain. The Lewis Department Store, though listed in the National Register, is considered significant for its historic rather than architectural association. The Hover is the best surviving example of a commercial structure designed by Roeschlaub.

paragraph: Other National Historic Landmark registered Roeschlaub buildings include the Central City Opera House (1878), Trinity United Methodist Church (1888), Corona School (1889), Chamberlin Observatory (1890) at the University of Denver, Cheyenne County Jail (1894) now a museum, the Hover Mansion (1902) and the First Congregational Church (Manitou Springs) (1882).

paragraph: He was the subject of the book "Robert S. Roeschlaub: Architect of the Emerging West, 1843-1923" by Francine Haber, Kenneth R. Fuller, and David N. Wetzel, originally published in April 1988 by the Colorado Historical Society and republished by the University Press of Colorado in July 1992.

paragraph: Robert Sawers Roeschlaub died at San Diego, California. He is interred at Fairmount Cemetery, Denver.

paragraph: Paul Staroba

paragraph: Paul Louis Staroba (born January 20, 1949) is a former American football wide receiver and punter. He played college football for the University of Michigan from 1968 to 1970. During the 1970 season, he caught 35 passes for 519 yards and led the Big Ten Conference, and finished fourth in the country, with a 41.5 yard punting average. He also played in the National Football League (NFL) for the Cleveland Browns in 1972 and the Washington Redskins and Green Bay Packers in 1973.

paragraph: Section::::Early years.

paragraph: Staroba grew up in Flint, Michigan, attended St. Matthew High School in Flint, and played high school football as a running back.

paragraph: Section::::University of Michigan.

paragraph: Staroba enrolled at the University of Michigan and played for the Michigan Wolverines football team from 1968 to 1970. He saw limited playing time as a sophomore and junior, catching 11 passes for 158 yards in 1968 and 12 passes for 141 yards in 1969. As a senior, Staroba became a starter and caught 35 passes for 519 yards. He had the best game of his career on October 31, 1970, in a 29-15 victory over the Wisconsin Badgers. He caught six passes from Don Moorhead for a total of 178 receiving yards, a touchdown and a two-point conversion. Staroba also served as Michigan's punter, punted for 2,240 yards in 1970 (including 401 yards against Arizona), and led the Big Ten, and finished fourth in the country, with a 41.5 yard average in 1970.

paragraph: Section::::Professional football.

paragraph: Staroba was selected by the Cleveland Browns in the third round (66th overall pick) of the 1971 NFL Draft. He spent the 1971 NFL season on the "cab squad" and appeared in eight games, one as a starter, for the Browns during the 1972 NFL season. Staroba had a 19-yard reception for the game-winning touchdown against the Denver Broncos.

paragraph: In June 1973, the Browns traded Staroba to the Washington Redskins in exchange for an undisclosed future draft choice. He caught a 32-yard touchdown pass from Sonny Jurgenson in an exhibition game against the Broncos, but he was released by the Redskins in early September 1973. He was signed by the Green Bay Packers in early December 1973, appeared in two games, and made one catch for a 23-yard gain. Staroba also had 12 punts for an average of 31.1 yards for the Packers.

paragraph: In July 1974, Staroba was one of players arrested for picketing a scrimmage between Green Bay Packers and Chicago Bears replacement players during the 1974 NFL strike despite a restraining order obtained by the Packers to keep them at a distance from Lambeau Field.

paragraph: Section::::Post-football life.

paragraph: After retiring from football, Staroba worked for an Anheuser-Busch dealership in Flint, Michigan. Staroba and his wife, Wendy, were married in approximately 1974, settled in Grand Blanc, Michigan, and had five daughters.

paragraph: Herbert Hupka

paragraph: Herbert Hupka (August 15, 1915 – August 24, 2006) was a German-Jewish journalist, politician (SPD and later the CDU), and advocate for the Germans expelled from neighbouring countries after the Second World War.

paragraph: Section::::Early life.

paragraph: Hupka was born in a British internment camp in Diyatalawa, Sri Lanka, to a Silesian German Catholic professor Erich Hupka and a Jewish-German Lutheran mother Sara Rosenthal. Herbert Hupka grew up in Ratibor, Upper Silesia (Free State of Prussia, Germany). In his younger years Hupka was raised in the Catholic religion and close to the democratic Catholic Zentrum party. After having served in the "Wehrmacht" at the Eastern Front, and after having completed his Habilitation, Hupka was expelled from the Wehrmacht in August 1944 for being a "half-Jew" because his mother was Jewish; she survived deportation to and internment in Theresienstadt concentration camp. Following World War II their Upper Silesian hometown became part of the People's Republic of Poland and Hupka and his mother were expelled to West Germany.

paragraph: Section::::Politics and Expellee Issues.

paragraph: Hupka was a member of the Bundestag from 1969-1987 . He was also president of the Eastern German Culture Council () and Vice-President of the Federation of Expellees ("Bund der Vertriebenen").

paragraph: The expellees' issues formed the kernel of his political activities. He was the chairman of the "Landsmannschaft Schlesien" from 1968 to 2000. He was also chairman of the "Eastern German Culture Council" and vice-chairman of the Federation of Expellees from historical eastern Germany. Hupka had opposed the "Ostpolitik" initiated by Willy Brandt and carried on by further SPD and even (later) CDU-led administrations. These policies subscribed to the acceptance of the territorial changes that took place after the Second World War; this line explicitly denied all attempts to regain these territories and former provinces, which had become parts of Poland or the Russian SFSR. Herbert Hupka, on the other hand, spoke in favour of incorporating the territories into a unified, future German state. His opinions, which were regarded as revanchist, made him unpopular not only with the left, as he opposed the recognition of the Oder-Neiße border with the People's Republic of Poland. On 29 February 1972, Hupka crossed the floor from the Bundestag faction of the SPD to the CDU/CSU faction. Nevertheless, in 1985 CDU-leader and federal chancellor Helmut Kohl also refused to speak at the Landsmannschaft Schlesien's annual conference unless its theme, ""Schlesien bleibt unser"" ("Silesia remains ours [i.e. German]") was changed to a less controversial theme. Hupka was one of the Landsmannschaft's members who refused to change the theme, thereby conflicting heavily with Kohl, leader of the CDU. In the end he agreed to change the name to ""Silesia remains our future in a common Europe of free nations"".

paragraph: Hupka, once the target of Polish and Soviet communist (and nationalist) propaganda, was later employed as an advisor by the local government of present-day Silesia and was awarded the title of an honorary citizen of Racibórz, the historic town of his youth. Later in life, Hupka partially gave up his former views on totally restoring the pre-1945 borders of Germany and became a conditional supporter of the German-Polish rapproachement.

paragraph: Section::::Death.

paragraph: Hupka died on 24 August 2006 at his home in Bonn, after an accident. The causes of the accident have not been fully investigated.

paragraph: Johann Reinhold Forster

paragraph: Johann Reinhold Forster (22 October 1729 – 9 December 1798) was a Reformed (Calvinist) pastor and naturalist of partially Scottish descent who made contributions to the early ornithology of Europe and North America. He is best known as the naturalist on James Cook's second Pacific voyage, where he was accompanied by his son Georg Forster. These expeditions promoted the career of Johann Reinhold Forster and the findings became the bedrock of colonial professionalism and helped set the stage for the future development of anthropology and ethnology. They also laid the framework for general concern about the impact that alteration of the physical environment for European economic expansion would have on exotic societies.

paragraph: Section::::Biography.

paragraph: Forster's family originated in the Lords Forrester in Scotland from where his great-grandfather had emigrated after losing most of his property during the rule of Oliver Cromwell along with many other Scots. Forster himself was born in the city of Tczew (Dirschau), in the province of Royal Prussia, in the Crown of Poland. He studied languages and natural history at the Joachimsthal Gymnasium in Berlin, theology at the University of Halle, afterwards serving as a Protestant pastor in Mokry Dwór (Nassenhuben) Pomeranian Voivodship. He married his cousin Elisabeth Nikolai. They had several children including a son, Georg Forster and a daughter Virginia Viktoria.

paragraph: In 1765 he accepted an offer made to him by the Russian government to inspect and report upon the new colonies founded on the banks of the Volga, in the province of Saratov. His irritable temper soon involved him in difficulties with the Russian government, and in the following year he went with Georg (the eldest of eight children, seven of which survived childhood) to England and became teacher of natural history at Warrington, Lancashire.

paragraph: He spent three years teaching at the Dissenting Warrington Academy, succeeding Joseph Priestley. Compelled by his violent temper to resign this appointment, Forster then moved with his son to London, where they earned a precarious living by doing translations. In 1771, he published "A Catalogue of the Animals of North America", which listed the region's mammals, birds, reptiles, fish, insects, arachnids, and crustaceans.

paragraph: When Joseph Banks withdrew at the last moment as naturalist on Cook's second voyage, Forster and his son were appointed to fill the vacant position. In July 1772 they set sail on the "Resolution", returning to England in July 1775. During a stop in Cape Town, Forster engaged Anders Sparrman to act as his assistant.

paragraph: Both the Forsters kept detailed diaries of everything they saw on the voyage, and made extensive collections of both natural history specimens and artefacts. On his return Forster published "Observations Made during a Voyage round the World" (1778). However the income from the book was insufficient to clear his debts, and the bulk of Georg's drawings from the voyage had to be sold to Joseph Banks. During the next few years Forster undertook a variety of writing work, including a German translation of Thomas Pennant's "Arctic Zoology".

paragraph: In November 1779 Forster was appointed Professor of Natural history and Mineralogy at the University of Halle, and director of the Botanische Garten der Martin-Luther-Universität Halle-Wittenberg, where he remained until his death. His "Descriptiones animalium", completed within a month of returning to England with Cook, was eventually edited by Hinrich Lichtenstein and published in 1844.

paragraph: Forster's contributions to the "Philosophical Transactions of the Royal Society" (1772–73) on zoology, ornithology, and ichthyology established him as one of the earliest authorities on North American zoology.

paragraph: Charles S. Howard

paragraph: Charles Stewart Howard (February 28, 1877 – June 6, 1950) was an American businessman. He made his fortune as an automobile dealer and became a prominent thoroughbred racehorse owner.

paragraph: Section::::Biography.

paragraph: Howard was dubbed one of the most successful Buick salesmen of all time. He lost his son to a car accident in 1926 at an early age and later bought the soon-to-be-famous horse Seabiscuit. According to Laura Hillenbrand's , Howard's early car dealership in San Francisco was given a boost by the hand of fate; on the day of the 1906 San Francisco earthquake, he was one of the few individuals who had operational vehicles in the city, and was thus able to help the rescue effort significantly.

paragraph: In 1921, long before he bought Seabiscuit, Charles Howard purchased the Ridgewood Ranch at Willits in Mendocino County. His 15-year-old son, Frankie, died there in 1926 after a truck accident on the property (the elder Howard established the Frank R. Howard Memorial Hospital as a memorial to his son). Used as a secondary residence, by the 1930s Howard had converted part of the ranch into a thoroughbred horse breeding and training center. Although Seabiscuit was the most famous resident at Ridgewood Ranch, Charles Howard owned many horses in his secondary career as a Thoroughbred owner including Kayak II (also Kajak) and Hall of Fame colt Noor, the first of only two horses to defeat two U.S. Triple Crown champions.

paragraph: Section::::Death.

paragraph: Charles Howard died of a heart attack in 1950 and was buried in the Cypress Lawn Memorial Park in Colma, California. Ridgewood Ranch was sold by his heirs, with some of the horses sent to his son Lindsay's Binglin Stable in Moorpark, California.

paragraph: Sean Elliott

paragraph: Sean Michael Elliott (born February 2, 1968) is an American former professional basketball player who starred at small forward in both the college and professional ranks. He attended the University of Arizona, where he had a standout career as a two-time All-American, winner of the 1989 John R. Wooden Award, the 1989 Adolph Rupp Trophy, the 1989 NABC Player of the Year, 1989 AP Player of the Year, and two time Pac-12 Player of the Year (in 1988–1989).

paragraph: He was the third pick of the 1989 NBA draft, was named to the 1990 NBA All-Rookie Second Team, was a two-time NBA All-Star, and earned an NBA championship in 1999.

paragraph: His #32 is retired by both the University of Arizona and the San Antonio Spurs.

paragraph: Section::::Early life.

paragraph: Elliott was born in Tucson, Arizona as the youngest of three boys. He attended the G.A.T.E. (Gifted and Talented Education) program at Tolson Elementary School there, then played basketball at Cholla High School (now Cholla High Magnet School) on the city's west side.

paragraph: Section::::College.

paragraph: After graduating in 1985, he remained in Tucson to play college basketball at the University of Arizona. Under the tutelage of Lute Olson, Elliott was named Pac-10 Freshman of the Year. He was selected as a consensus all-American during his junior and senior years, and led the Wildcats to the Final Four in his junior year (1988). Elliott broke Lew Alcindor's (Kareem Abdul-Jabbar) all time Pac-10 career scoring record. After an exceptional senior season, Elliott won the Wooden Award. He is still the University of Arizona's all-time leading scorer.

paragraph: He played for the US national team in the 1986 FIBA World Championship, winning the gold medal.

paragraph: Section::::NBA career.

paragraph: Section::::NBA career.:San Antonio Spurs: First Run.

paragraph: Elliott was drafted by the San Antonio Spurs as the third pick in the first round of the 1989 NBA draft under Coach Larry Brown. The 1989–1990 season was also the first for Elliott's teammate David Robinson, who played as the team's superstar. Elliot started in 69 of 81 games for the season, averaging 10 points a game, and the Spurs made the playoffs where they swept the Denver Nuggets in the first round before falling to the eventual Western Conference Champion Portland Trail Blazers in 7 games. Elliott increased his scoring average to 12.7 during the postseason.

paragraph: In the following season, Elliott started in all 82 games, increasing his scoring to 15.9 points a game, and the Spurs led by Robinson won 55 games, but lost in the first round of the playoffs to the Golden State Warriors in four games. Elliott once again increased his scoring output in the playoffs, and the Spurs looked forward to improving. The 1991–1992 season was be a tumultuous one for the team, with Brown stepping down as coach after a 21–17 start, replaced by Bob Bass. The Spurs still managed to win 47 games with Elliott starting in all 82 games and averaging 16.3 points, but San Antonio were swept in the first round by the Phoenix Suns. Like in his first two years, Elliott increased his scoring in the playoffs to 19.7 points a game for the three game series.

paragraph: Coaching changes once again destabilized the Spurs' season, before John Lucas II took over the team, leading them to 55 wins on a 39–22 record after the team opened the season with a record of 10–11. Elliott played in 70 games, and once again placed second in scoring on the team to Robinson with 17.2 points a game, including a career-high 41 points against the Dallas Mavericks on December 18, 1992. He was named to play in the 1993 NBA All-Star Game along with Robinson. In the playoffs, San Antonio defeated Portland 3 games to 1, before facing the number one seeded Suns in the conference semifinal. After losing the first two games in Phoenix, the Spurs responded with consecutive games at home, as Elliott scored 17 points in game 3 and 19 points in game 4. The Suns, led by superstar Charles Barkley managed to wrap up the series in the next two games. Elliot averaged 15.8 points per game in the playoffs.

paragraph: Section::::NBA career.:Detroit Pistons: 1993–1994.

paragraph: Elliott spent the 1993–94 season with the Detroit Pistons after being traded for Dennis Rodman in a multi-player deal. The Pistons had previously been a championship-contending team, and were still led by veterans such as Isiah Thomas and Joe Dumars, but struggled with injuries throughout the season. After Elliott struggled with the Pistons, the Pistons attempted to trade him to the defending champion Houston Rockets in February 1994 in exchange for Robert Horry, Matt Bullard, and two second-round draft choices; however, the trade fell through when Elliott failed his physical. After the trade was voided, Elliott held a press conference and announced that he had a kidney problem. Elliott remained in Detroit for the rest of the season and started in a total 73 games, averaging 12.1 points a game. Following the end of the season, he was traded back to the Spurs for the draft rights of Bill Curley.

paragraph: Section::::NBA career.:Back in San Antonio.

paragraph: In the 1994–1995 season, the Spurs—now coached by Bob Hill—won 62 games led by Elliott and Robinson, who won that year's NBA Most Valuable Player Award. The Spurs clinched the top seed in the western conference, and swept the Denver Nuggets in the first round before facing the young Los Angeles Lakers in the semifinals. The Lakers pushed San Antonio to a 6th game in Los Angeles, where the Spurs won. Elliott scored 26 points, his high for the playoffs, in the series-clinching game. The Spurs had reached the conference finals, where they faced Houston. Despite having home court advantage, the Spurs lost the first two games at home, and won two games before falling to the more experienced Rockets in 6 games. Elliott averaged 17.3 points a game in the playoffs.

paragraph: The 1995–1996 season was a personal best for Elliott, as he averaged 20 points a game, a career high, in 77 games. Elliott also made a career-high 161 three-pointers on the season, and played in the 1996 NBA All-Star Game, scoring 13 points in 22 minutes. The Spurs once again came up short in the playoffs, defeating Phoenix in the first round before losing to the Utah Jazz in 6 games, with Elliott's scoring averaging falling to 15.5 points a game. The following season proved a disaster for the Spurs, as Robinson played in only 6 games due to a season-ending injury, while Elliott also suffered injuries that limited him to 39 games. The team was taken over by new coach Gregg Popovich, and their lottery status in the 1996–1997 season led to the drafting of Tim Duncan in the NBA draft following the season. Injuries limited Elliott again to just 36 games in the 1997–1998 season, but the Spurs improved to 56 wins led by Duncan and Robinson, before losing to Utah in the conference semifinals.

paragraph: Section::::NBA career.:NBA championship, kidney transplant, and comeback: 1998–2001.

paragraph: The 1998–1999 season was shortened to 50 games as a result of a league lockout, but the Spurs won 37 of the games for the west's best record led by Duncan and Robinson, with Elliott starting in all 50 games with an average of 11.2 points a game. The Spurs entered the playoffs with a dominating defensive attack bolstered by the big man duo of Duncan and Robinson, and they first defeated the Minnesota Timberwolves 3-1 in the first round. San Antonio won a 4-game sweep of the much improved Los Angeles Lakers, led by superstars Shaquille O'Neal and Kobe Bryant. Next up were the Portland Trail Blazers, another resurgent squad, in the conference finals. The Spurs won game 1 on their home floor, and in game 2 the Trail Blazers held a 2-point lead with 9 seconds left to play in regulation. Elliott received a pass nearly stolen by Blazer Stacey Augmon in the corner, before Elliott caught the ball within an inch of the sideline (narrowly avoiding going out of bounds). He managed to stay on his tiptoes rather than planting his feet, before releasing a 21-foot three-point attempt just over the outstretched arms of 6 foot 11 forward Rasheed Wallace. The shot went in, giving the Spurs a 1-point lead and the eventual victory. The shot was later named "Memorial Day Miracle" because of its improbability and the date on which it was made. Elliott finished the game with 22 points. and shifted the momentum of the series to the Spurs, who swept Portland. The Spurs had finally made the NBA Finals, facing the surprising New York Knicks, who had managed to make the Finals despite being the 8th seed in the Eastern Conference but who were missing star center Patrick Ewing. San Antonio dominated the Knicks in the first two games, and while the Knicks managed to win game 3, the Spurs combination of Duncan, Robinson and effective play by veterans such as Elliott (14 points in game 4), Avery Johnson and Jaren Jackson proved too much for the Knicks. The Spurs won game 5 in Madison Square Garden to wrap up the series and win their first NBA Championship. Elliott averaged 11.9 points in 17 games in the playoffs while shooting 40 percent from beyond the three-point arc.

paragraph: Shortly after the championship run, Elliott announced that he had a kidney disease known focal segmental glomerulosclerosis, that his kidney function was worsening, and that he would require a transplant as soon as a matching donor became available. Elliott also disclosed that he had been aware of his kidney ailment since 1993. He underwent surgery on August 16 of that year, receiving a kidney from his older brother, Noel.

paragraph: On March 13, 2000, in a game against the Atlanta Hawks, Elliott became the first player to return to the NBA after a kidney transplant. He played in only 19 games in the 2000 season, and San Antonio failed to repeat as champions. Elliott started in 34 of 52 games in the 2000–2001 season; the Spurs held the best record in the league, but lost to the eventual champion Los Angeles Lakers in the Western Conference Finals.

paragraph: Section::::NBA career.:Retirement.

paragraph: Elliott announced his retirement in 2001. He finished his career averaging 14.2 points, 4.3 rebounds, and 2.6 assists per game. Elliott is the fifth all-time franchise leader in three-point field goals made (563) and fourth for three-point attempts (1,485).

paragraph: Section::::Post-NBA.

paragraph: After retiring, Elliott became a basketball analyst for "The NBA on NBC" and, during the 2003–2004 season, for ABC Sports and ESPN. He left that position for the 2004–2005 season and became the color commentator for the Spurs' local broadcasting. On January 5, 2013, he joined Fox Sports 1, calling his first college basketball game with the network.

paragraph: On March 6, 2005, his #32 was retired by the San Antonio Spurs and was hung in the rafters of the AT&T Center.

paragraph: His #32 is also retired by the University of Arizona.

paragraph: Sir Murray Pringle, 10th Baronet

paragraph: Sir Norman Murray Archibald MacGregor Pringle, 10th Baronet (born 3 August 1941) is a British accountant. In 2016, he won a legal case establishing that he was the rightful heir to the Pringle baronetcy, using DNA evidence that proved his cousin, who had been accepted as the 9th Baronet in 1919, was not the biological son of the 8th Baronet.

paragraph: Section::::Succession to baronetcy.

paragraph: Murray Pringle was born in 1941, the eldest of two sons born to Ronald Steuart Pringle (1905–1968) and his wife, Janet Patricia Pickford, daughter of Capt. George Todd Pickford of Nairobi. Ronald Steuart was the second son of Sir Norman Robert Pringle, 8th Baronet (1871–1919) by his wife, Florence Magde Vaughan. The 8th Baronet married on 16 October 1902, and his wife gave birth to a first son, Norman Hamilton Pringle, seven months later on 13 May 1903, leading to questions of legitimacy that were not resolved until more than a century later.

paragraph: Squadron Leader Norman Hamilton Pringle, "de facto" 9th Baronet (1903–1961) inherited the Pringle baronetcy as a teenager in 1919, when the 8th Baronet died of tuberculosis following the First World War. In turn, Norman Hamilton Pringle was succeeded by his eldest son, Sir Steuart Pringle and "de facto" 10th Baronet. After Sir Steuart's death in 2013, DNA evidence demonstrated that Sir Steuart's father was not the biological son of Sir Norman Pringle, 8th Baronet. In 2016, the court agreed Norman Murray Pringle was the rightful heir to the baronetcy instead of his second cousin Simon Pringle, Sir Steuart's eldest son and heir apparent. The court determined that Norman Hamilton Pringle was proven with a "high degree of probability" to be fathered not by the 8th Baronet, and Sir Steuart and his father were removed posthumously from the Official Roll of the Baronetage.

paragraph: The Queen, acting under the Judicial Committee Act 1833, referred the matter to the Judicial Committee of the Privy Council, which held its hearings on the matter in November 2015 and January 2016. It delivered its ruling on 20 June 2016, determining that DNA evidence proved that Sir Norman Hamilton Pringle, 9th "de facto" Baronet, was conceived by an unknown father and was not the biological son of Sir Norman Robert Pringle, 8th Baronet.

paragraph: In delivering the judgment, Lord Hodge stated that the court had no reason to reject DNA evidence in title claims, and it was not for the court to consider potential social outcomes based on DNA evidence:

paragraph: On 27 June 2016, Grant Bavister, Assistant Register to the Baronetage at the Ministry of Justice, entered Sir Ronald Steuart Pringle and his son Sir Norman Murray Pringle onto the Official Roll of the Baronetage, as the 9th and 10th "de jure" Baronets. He also removed the "de facto" 9th and 10th Baronets, Norman Hamilton Pringle and his son Steuart Robert Pringle, from the Roll, in accordance with the Royal Warrant of 1910. Certificates of succession to this effect were issued to Sir Norman Murray Pringle on 1 July 2016.

paragraph: Section::::Personal life.

paragraph: Sir Norman married firstly Lysbet Watkins-Pitchford on 11 September 1966. They had two children:

paragraph: BULLET::::- Alastair Steuart Ronald Pringle (born 23 May 1972), heir apparent to the baronetcy

paragraph: Otazu no kata

paragraph: Otazu no kata (お田鶴の方, d. December 1568) was a Japanese woman from the Sengoku period. She was the wife of Iio Tsuratatsu and retainer of Imagawa clan. When the Imagawa fell into disarray after their defeat at Battle of Okehazama, she turned against them and became leader of the Iio clan after her husband's death.

paragraph: Section::::Life.

paragraph: Otazu no kata born in Mikawa Province, her date of birth is unknown, but there are theories that she was born in 1550. Her father was a vassal of Imagawa and her mother was relative of the Imagawa family, her maternal grandmother was Jukei-ni and her grandfather was Imagawa Ujichika. She lived at Kaminogō castle commanded by her father. She probably married very young to Iio Tsuratatsu and was present in the military affairs of the Iio clan.

paragraph: Tsuratatsu's father, Iio Noritsura, died at the battle of Okehazama in 1560 and Tsuratatsu succeeded him as lord of Hikuma castle. The results of Okehazama had left the lords of Totomi Province in a chaotic state with Imagawa Yoshimoto's death. In 1562, Ii Naochika was charged with treason and killed on the orders of Imagawa Ujizane. In 1563, Ii Naohira was ordered by the Imagawa clan to attack Iio Tsuratatsu at Hikuma Castle to prove their loyalty to Imagawa. Otazu no Kata learned of the tension between Imagawa-Ii-Iio and invited Naohira to a meeting with her husband and planned to eradicate it to claim prominence in Totomi. In September 18, Otazu no Kata then poisoned Naohira's tea and he died soon after. His death provoked the wrath of the Imagawa clan and Tsuratatsu was condemned to commit seppuku.

paragraph: In 1564 Niino Chikanori, a retainer of Ii clan, led a siege to Hikuma castle, Otazu fought to defend the castle and Chikanori was killed. Otazu was known for her fiery temper, craftiness, and strictness. She stood by her husband's side when he was accused of treason in the months that followed. Her orders matched the caliber of a general samurai and her anger with disobedience was well known. In the same year, the Imagawa discovered that Iio clan was secretly communicating with Tokugawa Ieyasu and attacked him. Peace was made, but the in 1565 he was summoned by Ujizane to Suruga, where he was assassinated.

paragraph: After Tsuratatsu's death, Otazu was ordered out of the castle, but she remained defiant against orders to leave the Hikuma castle and became the female lord of Iio clan. She was outraged that her gender had considered her weak in the political field, so she strengthened the castle's defenses and sent an appeal to defect to the Takeda clan.

paragraph: Section::::Life.:Siege of Hikuma castle.

paragraph: In December 1568, Tokugawa Ieyasu laid siege to Hikuma Castle, it is said that Ii Naotora (great-granddaughter of Ii Naohira) actively participated in the siege to take revenge, but this is probably a tale of the Edo period. Otazu commanded more than 300 soldiers and a number of people for the defense. Ieyasu's messengers passed the appeal for a peaceful surrender and a promise for the women and children's safety. Otazu rejected him by saying:"Women we may have, and they are born samurai. None who live here would dare submit their home to their enemy."On the first day of the siege, Sakai Tadatsugu and Ishikawa Kazumasa lost against the Otazu's army. Ieyasu army attacked again, with over 300 people, the castle was defended. Ieyasu attacked again the castle, but the castle soldiers prevented it, and they were hit by severe guns. Ieyasu's soldiers killed 300 people and the castle soldiers slaughtered more than 200, but Ieyasu's army was a large army and did not collapse. On the last day of the siege, Otatsu opened the gate and armed herself with a armor and fought with a naginata while she was accompanied by 18 armed women. She fought in the front gate and lost her life in battle.For her heroic deed as a samurai woman, Ieyasu would have said to her in memory: "There is no man alive who could have protected their beliefs so rigidly like you did."According to Edo folklore, Otazu no kata became posthumously associated with the name Tsubakihime (椿姫, "Camellia Maiden"), because the grave of her remains and her maids blossomed Japanese camellias. Lady Tsukiyama, Ieyasu's wife, was said to have looked after them and marveled that no other camellias could match their radiance.

paragraph: Martinus Dorpius

paragraph: Matinus Dorpius or Maarten van Dorp (1485–1525) was a humanist and a theologian at the Old University of Leuven. He is best known as a friend and correspondent of Erasmus.

paragraph: Section::::Life.

paragraph: Dorpius was born in Naaldwijk near Rotterdam in 1485. His father, Hendrik, was steward of Egmond Abbey and served for some years as an alderman of The Hague. His brother Willem followed in their father's footsteps. Martin, however, pursued an academic career. He graduated Bachelor of Arts at Leuven University in 1504, as fifth in his year. After graduation he began teaching rhetoric and philosophy at Lily College. He staged plays with his students, including Plautus' "Miles Gloriosus" and "Aulularia", the latter of which he edited for publication.

paragraph: In 1510 he delivered a lecture on the Assumption of Mary that was to be printed in 1514 by Dirk Martens. In 1515 he graduated Doctor of Theology and was appointed president of Holy Ghost College.

paragraph: He was a correspondent of Erasmus, tipping him off in 1514 that the theologians of Leuven were examining his "Praise of Folly" for indications of heterodoxy. In his correspondence he also questioned the usefulness of studying Greek to understand the New Testament. In 1515 one of his letters to Erasmus elicited a reply from Thomas More emphasizing the importance of Greek.

paragraph: In the summer of 1516 Dorpius lectured on the Pauline epistles, declaring that his lack of Greek was an impediment to a thorough understanding of them, and also that an understanding of rhetoric (rather than of scholastic distinctions and definitions) was important to appreciate how Paul presented his teachings. That autumn, perhaps in response, the Faculty of Theology refused to renew Dorpius's certificate to lecture. His certificate was, however, renewed the following year. In 1517-18 he supported the foundation of the Collegium Trilingue.

paragraph: In the summer of 1519 Dorpius resigned as college president and travelled to The Hague. In Holland he was offered a position as suffragan to Philip of Burgundy, bishop of Utrecht, but he declined and returned to Leuven. He served as rector of the university from February to August 1523. He died on 31 May 1525 and was buried in the Carthusian monastery in Leuven. An epitaph by Erasmus was carved on his tomb.

paragraph: Yotto

paragraph: Otto Yliperttula (born October 8, 1986), known professionally by his stage name, Yotto, is a Finnish DJ, songwriter, and record producer. Currently residing in Helsinki, Finland, the 32-year-old is signed to English deep house label, Anjunadeep.

paragraph: Yotto came to fruition with a string of remixes and originals that caught the ear of Anjunadeep label boss, James Grant. Deemed “a man of many sounds” by "Billboard" and “an experimental house talent” by Dancing Astronaut, he produces a number of styles within the house music genre and sometimes other forms of electronic music.

paragraph: As well as his own solo releases and releases on Joris Voorn's Green Recordings, Yliperttula has worked alongside other DJs and producers such as Above & Beyond, Coldplay, M83, London Grammar, Rüfüs, Lane 8, and Super8 & Tab. Yotto has also collaborated with his younger brother who performed vocals on tracks like "Wondering" under the alias Caps.

paragraph: He released his debut album, "Hyperfall", through Anjunadeep in 2018.

paragraph: Section::::Musical influences.

paragraph: The offspring of musically inclined parents and the sibling of a vocalist, Yliperttula grew up in a musical family. He started taking classical piano lessons as a young child and played regularly until the age of 14. As a teenager, skateboard culture influenced a wide ranged of personal preference for West Coast Hip-Hop music, and Heavy Metal bands such as Iron Maiden and Manic Street Preachers. It was this eclectic taste in music that enabled Yliperttula to stay open-minded and not get deeply vested into any one genre, instead just listening to music he enjoyed.

paragraph: Section::::Career.

paragraph: When starting up his career within electronic music, Otto was initially a part of a Helsinki-based melodic deep house duo called "Something Good", together with Karolus Viitala. As a solo act, Otto, or Yotto, officially joined the Anjunadeep roster w/ his debut release "Memento" / "Azzurro" in 2015. His debut release on the label included a two track EP. "Memento" has been described as an atmospheric opener to the EP with bass-driven precision. Premiered on BBC Radio 1, "Azzurro" was described as a "slap shot to the face" by BBC radio host, Pete Tong, and a bustling track with a chilling piano line and a dramatic crescendo by Dancing Astronaut.

paragraph: Yliperttula followed up his debut release with a second EP, titled "Wondering" in August 2015. The EP includes three tracks; "Wondering", "Slowly", and "Coming Back To You". In an interview with Urb magazine, Yotto explained, "The EP was built from these tracks, as they all seem to share a stress-free vibe". The title track, "Wondering", is a collaboration with his younger brother which they produced in a tiny studio at their house in Finland.

paragraph: "Personal Space / Mulholland 99" is the title of the two-track EP Yliperttula released in December 2015. The release was his third Anjunadeep release, and his fourth on the year. Pete Tong selected "Personal Space" as Essential New Tune on his BBC Radio 1 show on November 20, 2015.

paragraph: In early 2016, Yotto was named an "Artist to Watch" in 2016 by the electronic music blog LessThan3. On January 15, 2016, Yliperttula released an official remix of "Like An Animal" by Rüfüs on "Sweat It Out Records". The track was premiered by "Hunger TV" and garnered his second Essential New Tune accolade by BBC Radio 1 DJ Pete Tong on his weekly radio show. It has been described as adding tension to the original through a minimalist approach.

paragraph: Halfway through his U.S. tour in 2015, Yliperttula received a request to remix Coldplay's feature track, "Adventure Of A Lifetime", from their 2016 album "A Head Full Of Dreams". The remix premiered twice; first by radio on Above & Beyond's "Group Therapy Radio" show and then exclusively to the public by "Billboard" magazine online. Critics have said his rendition of the track "has proven [Yotto] knows pop music just as well as the environmental and underground [music]".

paragraph: April saw the release of Yotto's first original productions of 2016, with "Aviate" and "Crosswalk" released as a two track EP on Anjunadeep. "Aviate" earned yet another Essential New Tune selection for Yotto, marking his third in less than six months. Then in June, Yotto released arguably his most successful track to date, "The Owls". Picking up his fourth Essential New Tune selection on Pete Tong's BBC Radio 1 show and also named "Hottest Record in the World" by Annie Mac, "The Owls" was premiered by Mixmag who called it "another staple addition to Yotto's defined, formidable sound."

paragraph: In November 2016, Yotto released "Fire Walk", a track he had debuted at Above & Beyond's ABGT 200 show in Amsterdam. "Fire Walk" gained the support of Pete Tong, Annie Mac, and Danny Howard who called the track "A stonewall banger". Soon after the track premiered on BBC, it climbed the Beatport charts to become No. 1, and the track was supported by Paul Oakenfold, Cosmic Gate, Steve Angello, and Markus Schulz.

paragraph: Yotto continued his heavy touring schedule in 2017 with performances at ABGT250, Electric Zoo, Spring Awakening, Coachella and Hi Ibiza supporting Eric Prydz.

paragraph: Yotto's track "Song From The Sun" was also featured in the Netflix original movie XOXO.
