paragraph: Luis de Almeida (missionary)

paragraph: Luis de Almeida (1525–1583) was a Portuguese surgeon, merchant and missionary of the Society of Jesus in Japan. He is credited for establishing the first "western" hospital in Japan.

paragraph: Section::::Life.

paragraph: Luis de Almeida was born in 1525 in Lisbon in a New Christian family that had converted from Judaism to Christianity. After two years of training at the prestigious Hospital Real de Todos os Santos, he received surgical license in March 1546 by the Portuguese king. Afterwards he moved to Goa and from there to Macau and became involved in intra-Asian trade with some success. These activities brought him for the first time to Japan in 1552, where the era of direct and sustained Euro-Japanese contacts had begun with the Nanban trade, attracting Portuguese merchants who fulfilled the Japanese demand for silk, cotton, Chinese medicines and other goods that Japan could not produce in sufficient quantities. During his voyage to Asia he was deeply moved by the Jesuit missionaries who tended to the passengers' spiritual needs. Upon reaching Japan, he resolved to travel to Yamaguchi to meet the Jesuit father Cosme de Torres, who was in charge of the mission after Francis Xavier's departure, and from there the two kept in close contact.

paragraph: In 1555, during his second visit to Japan, he joined the Society of Jesus and was now looking for ways to make good use of his accumulated financial resources. His personal wealth and his continued involvement in the Sino-Japanese silk trade kept the Jesuits financially afloat and provided the funds for various charitable efforts in Japan. For example, in the year of his accession he founded an orphanage in Funai (today Ōita) in the east of the island of Kyushu, because many children had lost their parents due to the fierce hegemonic struggles of the Sengoku period. However, because Almeida's commercial activities, the Jesuits in Japan attracted criticism from Rome for dabbling in trade.

paragraph: In 1556 he built a hospital in Funai with the permission of the "daimyō" Ōtomo Sōrin. The construction costs (about 5000 cruzados) were covered from his fortune. As far as the letters sent to Goa and Europe show, this hospital was able to accommodate about 100 patients. Initially, Almeida was in charge of the surgical department, and internal medicine was in the hands of converted Japanese doctors, who were so successful in applying Chinese-Japanese therapies that some of them were singled out by name.

paragraph: After 1560, Almeida had to give up leading the hospital since an order had arrived in Japan forbidding members of the Society from providing medical practices. From that time on he became an accountant for the Jesuits, and spent 1561 proselytizing in Hakata (now part of the city of Fukuoka), Hirado, and Kagoshima. In 1562 he obtained the landing permit for Portuguese ships in Yokoseura, which briefly thrived as a Portuguese port before it was destroyed the next year by rival merchants. The following year he founded churches in Shimabara and Kuchinotsu. In 1565 he spent his time in the Kansai area, leaving descriptions of a Japanese tea ceremony he witnessed in Sakai and of the magnificent temples of Nara. He did not fully abandon medicine, as he still helped in the Funai hospital, cared for other Jesuit fathers, and administered medicine for Japanese "damiyō" on occasion.

paragraph: After years of tireless efforts in the Japanese mission, Almeida was ordained a priest in Macau in 1580. Upon returning to Japan, he was made Superior of Amakusa, which had become Christianized through his efforts. He died three years later in Kawachiura (河内浦; now part of Amakusa). The hospital he built in Funai was destroyed in 1587 by troops from Satsuma.

paragraph: Bernardino delle Croci

paragraph: Bernardino delle Croci (born Parma; died between 1528–1530 in Brescia) was an Italian goldsmith and sculptor of the Brescian Renaissance. He was the founder of the Delle Croci family of important goldsmiths and sculptors, known for their specialism in processional crosses, reliquaries and altars.

paragraph: Section::::Life.

paragraph: Bernardino, born in Parma, was the son of Giacomino. The exact year of his birth is not known; it is likely to have been in the middle of the fifteenth century. His presence in Brescia is documented by a 1486 estimus stating he lives near the Porta Bruciata. However, this was not the year he arrived in Brescia: in 1487, he received the balance of payment for the pedestal of the reliquary of the Holy Cross in the Duomo Vecchio, which had been commissioned following deliberations by the city's special council on 12 August 1474. A contract from 23 March 1477 documents his agreement to work on a tabernacle for the Dominican friars.

paragraph: Attached to the School of the Blessed Sacrament of the Basilica of San Pietro of Dom, he was appointed among the members overseeing work on the fraternity's altar by Vincenzo Foppa, a Brescian painter, on 1 May 1501. Between 1503 and 1517, he is documented to have been involved in the execution of Mausoleum of Martinengo for the Santissimo Corpo di Christo church in Brescia, along with Gasparo Cairano.

paragraph: On 4 August 1521, the Observant Friars Minor of the San Giuseppe monastery granted him permission to build a chapel at his own expense in their church. The ninth location along the left aisle of the church, first dedicated to San Bernardo and then to San Guglielmo became the burial crypt of the delle Croci family.

paragraph: There is documentation of his position as provost or prior of the San Giuseppe monastery between 1519 and April 1528.

paragraph: An erroneous transcription of Pandolfo Nassino's manuscript by Andrea Valentini in 1882 resulted in Bernardino's death being assigned as 6 June 1528. In the manuscript, however, there is only a reference to the purchase of some land by Bernardino and the murder of one of his sons, possibly Giovanni Francesco, by Giovan Giacomo Savallo on 6 July 1528. Bernardino's death would have occurred between 1528 and 1530, because a document of 7 January 1531 already references his passing.

paragraph: Section::::Style.

paragraph: Bernardino delle Croci by unanimous acclaim of contemporary and modern critics has been recognised as one of the finest goldsmiths of Renaissance Lombardy and of the best interpreters of the proto-Renaissance styles that began spreading through Lombardy by the end of the 15th century. In turn, his descendants inherited his talent, becoming some of the most important exponents of gold craft in 16th century Brescian art.

paragraph: Section::::Works.

paragraph: Bernardino and his sons probably specialised in crucifixes and crosses, which is why he is known by the surname "delle Croci" (of the Crosses) or "dalle Croci", and "Bernardinus de Parma dictus de le Crucibus". However, only two works – the reliquary of the Holy Cross, and the bronze works of the Martinengo mausoleum – can be directly attributed to him.

paragraph: There are numerous works in which his children collaborated, making the sole attribution to him impossible. There is evidence of his imprint in the Sante Spine reliquary, the San Faustino cross, as well as other similar works making constant references to Gothic art. Indeed, the innovative update of classical bronze styles in Bernardino's bronzes for the Martinengo mausoleum suggests that his studio very quickly adapted to the new canon, with the cross of San Francesco being a fine exemplar of the style, executed by his son Giovanni Francesco.

paragraph: Pedro de Candia

paragraph: Pedro de Candia (; 1485 - 1542) was a Greek explorer and cartographer at the service of the Kingdom of Spain, an officer of the Royal Spanish Navy that under the Spanish Crown became a Conquistador, Grandee of Spain, Commander of the Royal Spanish Fleet of the Southern Sea, Colonial Ordinance of Cusco, and then Mayor of Lima between 1534 and 1535. Specialized in the use of firearms and artillery, he was one of the earliers explorers of Panama and the Pacific coastline of Colombia, and finally participated in the conquest of Peru. He was killed in the Battle of Chupas, (Peru), on 16 September 1542, by Diego de Almagro II.

paragraph: Section::::Early life.

paragraph: He was born on the island of Crete, as a member of an Italian colonial family, which then was part of the Republic of Venice, known as the Kingdom of Candia, in the city of Heraklion at the Venetian Castle of Candia, hence his appellation. He left the island through one of his mother's relatives at the service of the Crown of Aragon, who took him to the Kingdoms of Italy. During his period in Italy he was training to become a Condottieri and trained in the arms; he fought against the Turks and in the Italian campaigns including the Battle of Pavia, before transferring to the Iberian peninsula to serve the Spanish Catholic Queen and King. Pedro was eventually married in Spain at Villalpando.

paragraph: Section::::Conquest of Peru.

paragraph: During his first incursion, he went to America with Governor Pedro de los Ríos in 1526 to explore Panama and the Colombian coastline.

paragraph: Then sent by the Spanish Crown assigned on a special edict to engage with local natives, he accompanied Diego de Almagro and Francisco Pizarro during their first explorations along the coasts of Peru, and at the landing of Tacamez, north of Guayaquil, by then he had already the command of the artillery. He was one of the ""Famous Thirteen"", who survived and remained in the islands of Gallo and Gorgona with Pizarro. From there, subsequently launched the explorations of the Peruvian coastline and Inca ports, then as part of the special assignment, he undertook to go in person to the Inca towns to engage with the locals and investigate their living conditions. He then visited Tumbez and then accompanied Pizarro to Spain to inform Charles V of their discoveries, the emperor made Candia commander-in-chief of artillery of the fleet sent out to conquer Peru.

paragraph: He was present at the defeat and imprisonment of the Inca king Atahualpa, and received a large share of the ransom paid by him. While residing at Cuzco, he made arms and ammunition for Pizarro, who was then fighting against Almagro.

paragraph: After the defeat of Almagro at Battle of Las Salinas, Candia undertook the conquest of Ambaya beyond the Andes, but was unsuccessful, being finally arrested by order of Hernando Pizarro. Disgusted at his treatment, and deserted by his old friends, he then joined the followers of Almagro and, with the aid of sixteen other Greeks, cast the guns that were taken by young Almagro to the battle of Chupas, where Candia had decided to support the local natives by badly performed in the battle, Almagro suspected treason and ordered his troops to kill Candia after attacking him with his own hands.

paragraph: Section::::Legacy.

paragraph: Based on his special assignment to engage with local natives by the Spanish Crown edict, Candia took special attention to communicating with the Incas and other vassal natives, that helped him to record his greatest discovery of the Golden Temple of the Sun built by Huayna Capac. Subsequently, Pedro de Candia's visits, discovery, and legacy were recorded by the Inca Garcilaso in the "GVAINA CAPAC INGA",and by the Spaniard Cieza de León in his records of "Cronicas de Americas"; and later rendered in an images codex book by Felipe Guaman Poma de Ayala. His oldest brother Teodoro de Candia, became a priest and led Catholic Missions for the Spanish Crown in the Amazonian region of today's Misiones Province, his brother Juan Andres de Candia led a colonial development in Cusco, while Pedro's younger brother, Juan Martín de Candia was assigned by the Spanish Crown to explore the Southern region of the continent alongside Pedro de Valdivia the founder of Santiago, and settled in Chile.

paragraph: Thierry of Chartres

paragraph: Thierry of Chartres ("Theodoricus Chartrensis") or Theodoric the Breton ("Theodericus Brito") (died before 1155, probably 1150) was a twelfth-century philosopher working at Chartres and Paris, France.

paragraph: The cathedral school at Chartres promoted scholarship before the first university was founded in France. Thierry was a major figure in twelfth-century philosophy and learning, and, like many twelfth-century scholars, is notable for his embrace of Plato's "Timaeus" and his application of philosophy to theological issues. Some modern scholars believed Thierry to have been a brother of Bernard of Chartres who had founded the school of Chartres, but later research has shown that this is unlikely.

paragraph: Thierry became chancellor of Chartres after his predecessor, Gilbert of Poitiers, returned to his native city in 1141. John of Salisbury, Herman of Carinthia, and Clarembald of Arras were among Thierry's students.

paragraph: Section::::Works.

paragraph: Section::::Works.:"Hexaemeron".

paragraph: The "Hexaemeron" interprets the Genesis with reference to Plato's "Timaeus". The text serves as a reasoned defense of God's existence, by relying on Platonic natural philosophy and Aristotelian logic to explain the creation of the world. Thierry establishes that the moment of divine creation was the very beginning of time, and following that, creation evolved naturally through combinations of the four elements (fire, air, water, and earth). According to Thierry, God created the four elements in the first moment. Fire, which is constantly moving, rotated and lit up the air, causing the first night and day. On the second day, fire warmed the water, causing it to rise into the heavens and form clouds. Because of the reduction of water, land emerged on the third day. The continued heating of the waters above the firmament caused the water to create the heavenly bodies on the fourth day. The continued warming of land caused the plant, animal, and human life to arise on the fifth and sixth days.

paragraph: Thierry's explanation of the creation of the world is based on a theological interpretation of Aristotle's four causes, which he identifies with the three persons of the Trinity plus matter (made up of the four elements): the Father is the efficient cause, the Son is the formal cause, the Holy Spirit is the final cause and the four elements are the material cause.

paragraph: According to Thierry, the act of divine creation is limited to the creation of the four elements, which then evolve by themselves, mix according to mathematical proportions and make up the physical world.

paragraph: Section::::Works.:"Heptateuch".

paragraph: The "Heptateuch" is a broad encyclopedia of information relating to the liberal arts, all within the context of academic and theologic unity. It particularly examines the ways in which different types of knowledge can be distinguished, while still supporting a single purpose: explaining order in reality. The trivium (logic, grammar, and rhetoric) address the veracity, consistency, and beauty of the language of expression. The quadrivium (geometry, astronomy, arithmetic, and music) provide the intellectual content in need of expression.

paragraph: Thierry also wrote some commentaries on Boethius' "De Trinitate".

paragraph: Samsam al-Dawla

paragraph: Abu Kalijar Marzuban, also known as Samsam al-Dawla (c. 963 – December 998) was the Buyid amir of Iraq (983–987), as well as Fars and Kerman (988 or 989 – 998). He was the second son of 'Adud al-Dawla. The Abbasids recognized his succession and conferred upon him the title Samsam al-Dawla. He lacked the qualities of his father 'Adud al-Dawla and failed to have a grip upon his state affairs. His rule was marked by revolts and civil wars.

paragraph: Section::::Biography.

paragraph: Section::::Biography.:Early life and rise.

paragraph: Abu Kalijar Marzuban was born in 963, he was the son of Adud al-Dawla and Sayyida ibn Siyahgil, a daughter of Siyahgil, a Gilite ruler. Thus making Abu Kalijar Marzuban distantly related to Ziyarid dynasty, who were descended from a sister of the Gilite ruler Harusindan, who was the father of Siyahgil.

paragraph: During 'Adud al-Dawla's lifetime, Abu Kalijar Marzuban was assigned the governorships of Buyid Oman and Khuzestan. Despite Marzuban's status as second son (Shirdil being the eldest), he was considered to be his father's heir. This issue was never completely clarified by 'Adud al-Dawla before his death, resulting in a succession crisis. Marzuban, who was in Baghdad when his father died, at first kept his death secret in order to ensure his succession. When he made the death of his father public, he took the title "Samsam al-Dawla".

paragraph: Shirdil also laid his claims to the succession, and from his province of Kerman invaded and captured Fars. He took the title "Sharaf al-Dawla". Sharaf al-Dawla's invasion of Fars provided two more of Samsam al-Dawla's brothers, Taj al-Dawla and Diya' al-Dawla, to set up their own rule in Basra and Khuzestan. In Diyar Bakr, a Kurd named Badh ibn Hasanwaih took power and forced Samsam al-Dawla to confirm him as its ruler. To the north, Samsam al-Dawla's uncle Fakhr al-Dawla ruled an extensive territory from Ray. The rulers of Basra and Khuzestan soon acknowledged Fakhr al-Dawla as senior amir, making the latter the most powerful of the Buyids and moving the senior amirate from Iraq to Jibal.

paragraph: Section::::Biography.:Early reign.

paragraph: Despite Fakhr al-Dawla's power, it was Sharaf al-Dawla who posed the largest threat to Samsam al-Dawla. He recovered Buyid Oman, which had earlier seceded to Samsam al-Dawla. In 983, the Turkic soldiers of Iraq betrayed Samsam al-Dawla, and went towards to the court of Sharaf al-Dawla. However, his relative from his mother's side Ziyar ibn Shahrakawayh managed to make most of them change their mind and stay loyal to Samsam al-Dawla.

paragraph: In 985, a Dailamite chief Saffar ibn Quddawiyah revolted against the authority of Samsam he joined with (Shirdil. Saffar lead a force against Samsam to Baghdad. Samsam sent a stronger force in retaliation consequently Saffar was defeated. In early 986 Samsam captured Basra and Khuzestan, forcing the two brothers to flee to Fakhr al-Dawla's territory. During the same period, another Dailamite named Asfar ibn Kurdawayh rebelled against Samsam al-Dawla, and changed his allegiance to Sharaf al-Dawla.

paragraph: However, Asfar quickly changed his mind, and declared allegiance to the latter's other brother Abu Nasr Firuz Kharshadh, who was shortly given the honorific epithet of "Baha' al-Dawla." However, Samsam al-Dawla, with the aid of Fuladh ibn Manadhar, suppressed the rebellion, imprisoned Baha al-Dawla, and executed his supporters executed, including Bahram ibn Ardashir al-Majusi. Samsam al-Dawla then made peace with Sharaf al-Dawla, and agreed to release Baha al-Dawla.

paragraph: However, Sharaf betrayed Samsam, and quickly marched against him. Sharaf occupied Ahwaz, then sent his forces to Wasit which fell to him in 986 AD. From there Samsam marched to Baghdad. Before any confrontation could take place, there was a revolt in the army of Samsam. He was therefore defeated and forced to surrender. There upon Baghdad fell to Sharaf and Samsam was put in prison.

paragraph: Section::::Biography.:Regaining his lost position.

paragraph: Sharaf al-Dawla's death in 988 or 989 provided Samsam al-Dawla with the opportunity to make a return to power. Despite having been partially blinded shortly before Sharaf al-Dawla's death, he managed to escape from prison and with the aid of Sharaf al-Dawla's former "vizier" Ala ibn Hasan, wrested control of Fars, Kerman and Khuzestan from his brother Baha' al-Dawla, who had succeeded Sharaf al-Dawla. Both Baha' al-Dawla and his brother found their positions threatened by Fakhr al-Dawla. The latter invaded Khuzestan in an attempt to split the two brothers' territories. This act prompted the both of them to draw up an alliance. Samsam al-Dawla recognized Baha' al-Dawla as the ruler of Iraq and Khuzestan, while he himself kept Arrajan, Fars and Kerman. Both promised to consider each other as equals, and took the title of "king".

paragraph: In 991 Baha' al-Dawla attempted to get rid of Samsam al-Dawla. He took the title of "Shâhanshâh" and invaded the latter's territory. His forces were defeated, however, and Samsam al-Dawla regained Khuzestan. He even gained control of the Buyid territories in Oman. In order to further strengthen his position, Samsam al-Dawla decided to recognise Fakhr al-Dawla as senior amir, submitting to his authority.

paragraph: Section::::Biography.:Losing power.

paragraph: Fakhr al-Dawla's death in 997, coupled with Samsam al-Dawla's increasing troubles within his realm, made Baha' al-Dawla the strongest of the Buyid princes. He gained the support of the Kurdish ruler Badr ibn Hasanwaih and prepared for the expedition. The invasion began in December of 998. Scarcely had the campaign begun, however, when Samsam al-Dawla was murdered by one of the sons of 'Izz al-Dawla near Isfahan while fleeing from Shiraz. Baha' al-Dawla took Shiraz, defeated 'Izz al-Dawla's sons, and reunited Iraq, Fars and Kerman.

paragraph: Greg Wilson (DJ)

paragraph: Greg Wilson (born 1960) is an English DJ and producer associated with both the early 80s electro scene in Manchester and the current disco / re-edit movement. He's also a writer / commentator on dance music and popular culture.

paragraph: Section::::Career.

paragraph: Growing up in New Brighton on Merseyside, Wilson lived above his family's pub during the years 1966–1973. The premises included two function rooms where he'd witness mobile discos featuring on a weekly basis at wedding receptions and parties. His main musical influences came from the record collections of his elder brother and sister, especially the soul music labels Tamla Motown, Stax and Atlantic. Wilson began his career as a DJ in 1975 at the age of 15, having bought a mobile set-up from his schoolfriend Derek Kelsey (later known as DJ Derek Kaye). He began a residency at local nightspot The Chelsea Reach on 6 December 1975, and remained at the venue until 1977. Further local residencies followed at The Penny Farthing (1976–1977) and The Golden Guinea (1977-1980), where he first built his reputation as a black music specialist, playing soul, funk, disco and jazz-funk. He also worked as a DJ in Denmark and Norway during a 2-month period in 1978.

paragraph: Wilson left the Golden Guinea in 1980 and worked in Denmark and Germany before returning to the UK to take a 4 night a week residency at Wigan Pier. In 1982 he became a full-time black music specialist, continuing Wigan Pier's Tuesday night jazz-funk session, which was voted the North's Best Club by "Blues & Soul" readers, with Wilson collecting the Best DJ award.

paragraph: He controversially championed early electro records at Wigan Pier and, most notably, Manchester club Legend, where he took over their Wednesday jazz-funk night in 1981. As with Wigan Pier, people travelled to his nights at Legend from places including Birmingham, Huddersfield, Sheffield, Leeds, Bradford, Nottingham, Liverpool and London. Legend attracted a predominantly black crowd to listen to the new electro-funk records, which were mainly coming out of New York City. Wilson also began to take a serious approach to mixing around this point, and is regarded as one of the UK pioneers. In 1982 he began to present regular mixes of the music he was playing in the clubs on Manchester's Piccadilly Radio, and these featured on Mike Shaft's specialist black music show ‘T.C.O.B’ (Taking Care Of Business). These radio mixes are still talked about as being influential to this day, with the end of year ‘Best Of 82’ and ‘Best Of 83’ mixes regarded as classics.

paragraph: In February 1983 Wilson was invited to demonstrate live mixing on the Channel 4 TV show "The Tube." Interviewed by one of the show's presenters, Jools Holland, Wilson, with Mike Shaft commentating, mixed 2 copies of David Joseph's "You Can’t Hide (Your Love From Me)", then a new release, but subsequently a UK top 20 hit. This was the first time a British DJ had mixed live on TV.

paragraph: Wilson was a fixture on the All-Dayer circuit in the North and Midlands between 1981-1984, regularly appearing alongside other black music specialists including Colin Curtis, Mike Shaft, John Grant, Hewan Clarke, Richard Searling, Kev Edwards, Pete Haigh, Jonathan, Trevor M and Cleveland Anderson.

paragraph: In 1983, Wilson began a Friday night residency at The Haçienda club in Manchester, which had opened the previous year. This was the club's first weekly dance music night and would lay the groundwork for its influential Nude night, also held every Friday, which came to prominence in the mid-80s with DJs Mike Pickering and Martin Prendergast.

paragraph: Wilson also put together the first UK re-edit, Paul Haig's "Heaven Sent", in 1983, and taught Norman Cook (aka Fatboy Slim), then a young aspiring DJ called Quentin, how to scratch in December 1983 during a short Haçienda tour of the South.

paragraph: At the end of 1983, aged 23, Wilson retired from DJing to focus on record production, as well as managing Manchester breakdance crew Broken Glass. They gained national exposure via TV appearances including a famous edition of "The Tube," filmed at The Haçienda in January 1984, on which Madonna made her UK live TV debut. Later in 1984, along with musicians Martin Jackson and Andy Connell, he co-wrote and produced all but one of the tracks on the Street Sounds ‘UK Electro’ album, now revered as a seminal British dance album, the first to feature sampling. One of the tracks, "Style Of The Street", a recording by Broken Glass, was sampled itself 20 years later on the 2004 The Prodigy hit "Girls".

paragraph: Wilson split from Jackson and Connell, who went on to form the band Swing Out Sister, and ceased managing Broken Glass. Mounting financial problems caused him to lose his car and then his house in Wigan. Re-locating to Liverpool in 1985 he briefly worked for the short-lived record label Ryker, before unsuccessfully attempting to launch his own label. Experiencing mounting financial problems, and with Liverpool in deep recession at the time, he moved to London in 1987 in order to try to resurrect his fortunes.

paragraph: In 1987, Wilson began to manage and produce Manchester's Ruthless Rap Assassins and sister band Kiss AMC. The Rap Assassins included former Broken Glass member Paul ‘Kermit’ Leveridge along with brothers Anderson and Carson Hinds. The Rap Assassins released two critically acclaimed albums via EMI, "Killer Album" (1990) and "Th!nk (It Ain’t Illegal Yet)" (1991). Their best known recording, "And It Wasn’t A Dream", a minor chart hit in 1990, focused on the plight of West Indian immigrants coming to the UK in the 1950s and 1960s, and was named amongst "Mojo's "50 Greatest British Tracks Ever" in 2006. In 2011, urban artist Roots Manuva would hail their music as "the roots of Grime".

paragraph: Between 1990 and 1993 he collaborated with singer Tracey Carmen, releasing a handful of records as Mind Body & Soul (or MBS). The first of these, a dance version of Jefferson Airplane’s psychedelic classic, "White Rabbit", was championed by Radio 1 DJ John Peel.

paragraph: The following decade was something of a wilderness period for Wilson, but in 1994 he revisited his electro-funk past, compiling the ‘Classic Electro Mastercuts’ album. This would generate a small number of DJ bookings, his first in 10 years, in promotion of the album.

paragraph: In 1996 he was part of a collective of DJs and musicians who promoted a series of nights called The Monastery in Birkenhead, Liverpool and London. A mix, ‘The Monastic Mix’, was the last he ever put together on reel-to-reel.

paragraph: Section::::Career.:2003–present.:DJ comeback.

paragraph: Alerted by the lack of documentation of the specialist black music scene that had helped shape contemporary dance culture, he announced the website electrofunkroots.co.uk in 2003. The site documents the early 80s era, what led up to it and what came out of it. Offers of DJ bookings followed and on 20 December 2003 Wilson made his DJ comeback at a night called Music Is Better in Manchester club The Attic. This was the launchpad that re-ignited Wilson's DJ career 20 years on from his retirement. As his popularity increased, he appeared throughout the UK, Europe and the world, gaining newfound followers from a new, younger generation of clubbers.

paragraph: In 2005, his re-edits compilation Credit to the Edit, released on the Tirk Recordings label, was the catalyst for his international success, helping to establish him, once again, as a scene leader.

paragraph: Apart from working as a DJ and remixer, Wilson has written on various aspects of dance / black culture with articles published in magazines / webzines including Wax Poetics, Clash, Grand Slam, Strobelight Honey and Discopia. His 'Discotheque Archives' series for DJ Magazine ran for 25 editions between 2016-2018.

paragraph: His blog, Being A DJ, was launched in June 2010, and his observations on various aspects of club culture are now an online touchstone for dance music enthusiasts. Wilson has also been interviewed for a number of books, TV and film projects focusing on the history of club culture.

paragraph: Section::::Career.:2003–present.:Musical output.

paragraph: "Credit To The Edit Volume 2" was released in November 2009, with tour dates throughout the following months in the UK, Europe, Japan, Australia and the U.S. to promote the album. The series returned in April 2018, with "Credit To The Edit Volume 3" and during that year Wilson became more active in the studio, working on various remix and re-edits projects, including some collaborations with his son Ché Wilson, the first of which to be released was a remix of 'Out The Window' by Australian band Confidence Man, released on Heavenly Records.

paragraph: Wilson has produced a series of documentative podcasts, ‘Time Capsule’, ‘Random Influences’ and ‘Early 80s Floorfillers’, as well as the long-running blog series, ‘Living To Music’, where people were encouraged to listen to a monthly album selection in their home environment. This served to influence other related listening events, including Colleen Murphy's ‘Classic Album Sundays’ audiophile sessions.

paragraph: Commencing in 2009, he's built a strong following on SoundCloud with regular uploads of DJ mixes, mainly live recordings, with over six and a half million plays up to 2019.

paragraph: Section::::Career.:2003–present.:Festivals.

paragraph: In August 2010 he co-curated, with Jack Hemingway, the Warehouse and Roller Disco areas at the inaugural Vintage Festival at Goodwood. It was named ‘Best New Festival’ at the UK Festival Awards, whilst Wilson, in his role of DJ, was nominated in the ‘Best Feel Good Act Of The Summer’ category. The following year he and Hemingway curated the Warehouse and Style Studio areas as Vintage was hosted at London's Southbank. He's appeared at festivals throughout the UK and Europe as well as in the US, Australia, Japan, Brazil and Mexico.

paragraph: In addition to his DJ work, Wilson has given talks on music and dance culture at numerous events including Afro Modern at Tate Liverpool, Vintage at London Southbank, Salon at Standon Calling and Festival N°6 and alongside legendary figures Nile Rodgers and Giorgio Moroder at ADE in Amsterdam.

paragraph: Section::::Career.:2003–present.:Super Weird Substance.

paragraph: 10 years on from his DJ return, in 2014 he unveiled his new multi-media label Super Weird Substance releasing the 'Blind Arcade Meets Super Weird Substance In The Morphogenetic Field' mixtape before following it up with a series of 5 Super Weird Happenings in different locations across the UK.

paragraph: In 2015, the label released 8 vinyl singles, brought together in the 2 CD compilation, "Greg Wilson Presents Super Weird Substance." September saw a memorable Festival No.6 Happening in Portmeirion.

paragraph: Collaborating with celebrated comic book writer Alan Moore, a second mixtape 'Alan Moore's Mandrill Meets Super Weird Substance At The Arts Lab Apocalypse' appeared in 2017, followed by the '14 Hour Super Weird Happening' at The Florrie, with Moore making a rare appearance in Liverpool.

paragraph: While with the Bears, Parrish was best known for providing solid run support and for his big hits on receivers over the middle of the field.

paragraph: Section::::Professional career.:Las Vegas Locomotives.

paragraph: After spending two years out of football to recover from numerous injuries, Parrish was signed by the Las Vegas Locomotives of the United Football League on August 31, 2009 and became an instant starter and team captain. The Locomotives went on to win the UFL championship in 2009.

Upon receiving the Ed Block award in his 1st season with the 49ers, Parrish became active with a ‘Courage House’ in San Francisco. These houses are orphanages for children of all backgrounds, and Parrish spent considerable time visiting with the young people. Parrish also spent time at the University of California San Francisco Children’s Hospital where he consistently met with patients and their families. He created the ‘Tuesday with Tony’ weekly event where he would interact with ailing teenagers. Currently, Parrish is very active in the Right to Play organization as an 'Athlete Ambassador’. ‘Right to Play’ has brought the concept and benefits of team sports to over a million children around the world on a weekly basis.

Another pupil was Thomas Leeming Grundy.

paragraph: In 1836 Doo was made "Engraver in Ordinary" to William IV, and later to Queen Victoria. At this period he worked for Francis Moon.

paragraph: Doo's more well-known works include his 1848 line-engraving "" after William Etty's painting from 1825. He is also known for his engraving of "Knox preaching before the Lords of the Congregation," after David Wilkie, "Italian Pilgrims coming in sight of Rome" after Eastlake, the "Infant Christ" after Raphael and the "Ecce Homo" after Correggio. His 1864 engraving of the "Raising of Lazarus" by Sebastiano del Piombo took him eight years.

paragraph: Nicola Vicentino

paragraph: Nicola Vicentino (1511 – 1575 or 1576) was an Italian music theorist and composer of the Renaissance. He was one of the most visionary musicians of the age, inventing, among other things, a microtonal keyboard.

paragraph: Section::::Life.

paragraph: Little is known of his early life. Born in Vicenza, he may have studied with Adrian Willaert in Venice, which was close by, and he acquired an early interest in the contemporary humanistic revival, including the study of ancient Greek music theory and performance practice (about which little was known, but was then being uncovered, through the work of scholars such as Girolamo Mei and Giangiorgio Trissino).

paragraph: At some time in the 1530s or early 1540s he went to Ferrara, which was to become the center for experimental secular music in Italy from the middle to the end of the 16th century. Apparently he served as a music tutor to the Duke of Este as well as some of his family members, and some of Vicentino's music was sung at the court of Ferrara.

paragraph: During the late 1540s his reputation as a music theorist grew. He established his reputation as a composer with his publication of a book of madrigals in Venice in 1546, and in 1551 he took part in one of the most famous events in 16th century music theory, the debate between Vicente Lusitano and himself in Rome in 1551. The topic of the debate was the relationship of the ancient Greek genera to contemporary music practice, in particular whether contemporary music could be explained in terms of the diatonic genus alone (as Lusitano claimed) or (as Vicentino claimed) was best described as a combination of the diatonic, chromatic, and enharmonic genera, the last of which contained a microtone. The debate was rather unlike those among contemporary musicologists, being more like a refereed prize fight, with a panel of judges; they awarded the prize to Lusitano. Unbowed, Vicentino continued his experiments, and went on to build the archicembalo which could play the music he described in his publications.

paragraph: Only one keyboard instrument using his 31-note-to-the-octave system survives from the Renaissance: the ‘Clavemusicum Omnitonum Modulis Diatonicis Cromaticis et Enearmonicis', built by Vito Trasuntino of Venice in 1606 to play the diatonic, chromatic and enharmonic. It is on display at the International museum and library of music in Bologna.

paragraph: After a short time in Rome, Vicentino returned to Ferrara, and later moved to Siena. In 1563 he became "maestro di cappella" at Vicenza Cathedral, thus returning to his home city, but only briefly, for he accepted a position in Milan in 1565. Around 1570 he had some connection with the Bavarian court in Munich, though he may never have gone there. He died in Milan during the plague of 1575–1576, though his exact date of death is not known.

paragraph: Section::::Works.

paragraph: While Vicentino was known as a composer, and wrote two books of madrigals and motets in a harmonically sophisticated style, it was his work as a music theorist that gained him renown.

paragraph: In the 1550s, in Italy, there was a surge of interest in chromatic composition, some of which was part of the movement known as "musica reservata," and some of which was motivated by research into ancient Greek music, including modes and genera. Composers such as Cipriano de Rore, Orlande de Lassus and others wrote music which was impossible to sing in tune without having a system for adjusting the pitch of chromatic intervals in some way. Several theorists attacked the problem, including Vicentino.

paragraph: In 1555 he published his most famous work, "L'antica musica ridotta alla moderna prattica" (ancient music adapted to modern practice), in which he fully explained his ideas linking ancient Greek musical theory and practice with contemporary works. In this work he expanded and justified many of the ideas which he first brought up in his debate with Lusitano. Whether or not Lusitano ever attempted to refute Vicentino's expanded version is not known; however, Vicentino's book was influential with the group of madrigalists working in Ferrara in the next two decades, including Luzzasco Luzzaschi and Carlo Gesualdo.

paragraph: Another area in which Vicentino did original work was musical dynamics. He was one of the first theorists, and perhaps the first, to mention volume as an expressive parameter. In "L'antica musica ridotta alla moderna prattica" he mentioned that the strength of singing must respect carefully the text and passage being sung.

paragraph: Vicentino's most famous invention was the archicembalo, a keyboard containing thirty-one keys to the octave. Using this keyboard, it was possible to play acoustically satisfactory intervals in any key, and therefore some of the recently composed music in a chromatic style, which was only in tune when sung, could be played on the keyboard. Later he applied the same keyboard layout to the "arciorgano," a microtonal keyboard for the organ. While these keyboards did not achieve wide popularity, they did offer a way of playing music in meantone temperament in all keys. The standard way to modulate through all keys on a keyboard instrument later became to divide the octave into twelve equal parts, called 12-tone equal temperament, in which the major and minor thirds are not well tuned. Vicentino's solution in effect divides the octave into 31 equal parts, with good intonation for the thirds and sixths but somewhat beating narrow fifths.
