paragraph: Taira no Kagekiyo

paragraph: Taira no Kagekiyo (平 景清) (died 1196), also known as Kazusa no Shichirō (上総 七郎), was a samurai of the Taira clan who took part in the Genpei War of Japan, against the Minamoto clan.

paragraph: The son by birth of Fujiwara no Tadakiyo. His original name was Fujiwara no Kagekiyo (藤原 景清), but he was adopted by the Taira and served them loyally the rest of his life. In 1156, he played a role in confirming Emperor Go-Shirakawa on the throne, and later, during the Genpei War, sought unsuccessfully to have the head of the Minamoto clan, Minamoto no Yoritomo, assassinated.

paragraph: Kagekiyo is perhaps most famous for his appearance in the eleventh chapter of the fictionalized epic "Heike Monogatari" (The Tale of Heike) during the Battle of Yashima, in the section called "The Dropped Bow" (弓流). He grasps the neckguard of Minamoto warrior Mionoya no Jūrō in order to prevent his escape; Mionoya does escape Kagekiyo's grasp, hiding from battle behind a friendly mount. Then, Kagekiyo, leaning on his spear, exclaims "You must have heard of me long ago. See me now with your own eyes! I am the man known to the young city toughs as Akushichibyōe Kagekiyo of Kazusa!" Kagekiyo then retires from battle.

paragraph: He was captured at the battle of Dan-no-ura in 1185. In 1196, Kagekiyo then allowed himself to starve to death at the new capital of Kamakura.

paragraph: In the arcade game Genpei Toumaden, he is portrayed as a ghost who has risen from the dead in order to destroy Yoritomo.

paragraph: Vladimir Voronin (captain)

paragraph: Vladimir Ivanovich Voronin (; October 17, 1890 – October 18, 1952)

paragraph: was a Soviet Navy captain, born in Sumsky Posad, in the present Republic of Karelia, Russia. In 1932 he commanded the expedition of the Soviet icebreaker "Alexander Sibiryakov" which made the first successful crossing of the Northern Sea Route in a single navigation without wintering. This voyage was organized by the All-Union Arctic Institute (presently known as the Arctic and Antarctic Research Institute).

paragraph: Section::::The "Sibiryakov" expedition.

paragraph: The "Sibiryakov" sailed from Archangelsk, crossed the Kara Sea and chose a northern, unexplored way around Severnaya Zemlya to the Laptev Sea. In September the propeller shaft broke and the icebreaker drifted for 11 days. However, the "Sibiryakov" used its sails and arrived in the Bering Strait in October. The icebreaker reached the Japanese port of Yokohama after 65 days, having covered more than 2500 miles in the Arctic seas. This was regarded as a heroic feat of Soviet polar seamen and Chief of Expedition Otto Schmidt and Captain Vladimir Voronin were received with many honors on their return to Russia.

paragraph: The icebreaker "Sibiryakov" continued in service until it was sunk in 1942 after an unequal fight with German heavy cruiser "Admiral Scheer" during Operation Wunderland in World War II.

paragraph: Section::::The "Cheliuskin" expedition.

paragraph: In 1933-34 Voronin commanded another icebreaker on a dramatic, albeit not so fortunate, expedition. In July 1933 the "Cheliuskin" sailed from Leningrad before a large crowd. However, in September icebreaker "Cheliuskin" got stuck in pack ice in the Chukchi Sea near Kolyuchin Island. The crew worked hard to free the ship from the surrounding ice, succeeding after almost a week. But the ship became stuck again and drifted in the general direction of the pack ice toward the Bering Strait. By the end of November it became obvious that the "Cheliuskin" would not break free from the pack ice and would have to winter on the Chukchi Sea. Eventually the ship was squeezed by large ice floes and was in danger of sinking. Captain Voronin ordered the crew to unload equipment from the ship and set up a camp site astern of the ship. But cracks in the ice formed under the tents, forcing the crew to load their equipment back onto the ship. The "Cheliuskin" drifted for the next two months in the Chukchi Sea to the east of Wrangel Island.

paragraph: Finally, increasing pressure resulted in the ship's creaking and eventual breach by ice. Voronin and Otto Schmidt managed to jump off just in time before the "Cheliuskin" sank close to Kolyuchin Island. Thus only one crew member went down with the ship. The crew then set up tents on a part of the ice surface that was named Camp Schmidt. The crew made radio contact with the village of Uelen on the Chukotka Peninsula and asked for help. During a dramatic rescue operation, pilot Anatolii Liapidevskii sighted Camp Schmidt, landed his plane on the ice, and rescued the women and children before returning to Uelen. The remaining passengers and crew of the ill-fated icebreaker "Cheliuskin" were rescued later and flown to Cape Vankarem on the Chukotka Peninsula. Due to severe weather conditions, the rescue took one month with planes trying hard to carry out the rescue operation from Khabarovsk; Nome in Alaska; and Cape Oliutorskii until they were successful.

text: Achiam's biography

categories: 2005 deaths,Forma Viva Portorož,Contemporary sculptors,Israeli sculptors,20th-century French sculptors,1916 births

paragraph: Achiam

paragraph: Achiam (born Ahiam Shoshany; February 10, 1916 – March 26, 2005) was a Franco-Israeli sculptor who worked around Paris after 1947. His work consists largely of direct carvings in stone and wood—very plain, pure forms, mostly figurative.

paragraph: Section::::Biography.

paragraph: Achiam was born in Beit-Gan (today part of Yavne'el), in the Galilee and had a peasant’s childhood. His early education was in agronomy. Arrested by the British because off his political activities, he discovered his talent as a sculptor while carving bas-reliefs on the walls of his jail cell. He learned sculpture techniques by working as a stone cutter in the quarries of Jerusalem.

paragraph: In 1947 he was invited to Prague where he won the Grand Prix in the competition for the rebuilding of the martyred town of Lidice in the Czech Republic. He then went to Paris as did many artists at this time.

paragraph: In Paris, he worked with scrap stones, in a style of naïve art that was quickly recognized by Jean Dubuffet. He was also noticed by Michel Tapié, head of the René Drouin Gallery where his work was exhibited in 1948.

paragraph: Experimenting with other styles, he spent time in Montparnasse and particularly at La Coupole. There he met other renowned artists of the time including Salvador Dalí, Zadkine (with whom he had many disputes) Pablo Picasso and Brâncuși whose simplified forms he admired.

paragraph: He regularly took part in many exhibitions (such as La Jeune Sculpture, Comparaisons and Le Salon d’Automne), winning recognitions such as the Grand Prix des Beaux-Arts de Paris in 1965.

paragraph: Achiam did not consider himself part of any artistic school and he did not wish to teach.

paragraph: At first little known in Israel, his work was discovered during major exhibitions organized by the Open Museum of Tefen (Galilee). In 2003 an "Achiam Museum", displaying over a hundred of his works was created in the thermal baths of the Roman amphitheatre of Shuni in Binyamina in Israel (Jabotinsky Park).

paragraph: It is possible to see Achiam's monumental works in Sèvres, where he lived, in the five municipalities of the conurbation of Arc de Seine (92), in the schools of Saint-Mamet (Cantal) and Saint-Martin d'Hères, in kibbutz Yifat (Israel) and in the "Lavon Sculpture Garden" (Israel), at Sankt Margarethen im Burgenland (Austria) as well as in Portorož (Slovenia).

paragraph: Section::::Presentation of the work.

paragraph: Achiam explained:

paragraph: If realist sculpture does not satisfy me, abstract sculpture—looking for purely aesthetic forms—doesn’t satisfy me either. I consider that abstract forms which are beautiful by themselves and can be perfect relative to their three dimensions can gain an additional dimension, a ‘fourth’ one, when they express human meaning. For me this is essential because if I also look for beautiful forms I want them to express love, joy, sadness, etc. I am sure that there is much to achieve in this domain.

paragraph: If, like Brâncuși, I use forms that are themselves abstract, I try to build a composition that is close to man and his feelings. It is easy to see, for instance, that one of my sculptures, the Horn Player, originating with abstract forms, is, in fact, a figurative sculpture suggesting the shepherd I once was in Galilee.

paragraph: The art of Achiam is therefore centered on Man, Woman, their feelings, love, childbirth and nurture. He often expressed his opposition to wars, suffering and the injustice which oppresses humanity.

paragraph: Another major source of his inspiration comes from the Bible, from its heroes, prophets and kings, whose essential characteristics he represents while rejecting anecdote in order to express their universal meaning.

paragraph: Music allowed him to express a search for fusion between man and the musical instrument. His works often represent a variety of feelings in the same character, in the same composition. He also depicts familiar animals such as dogs and cats.

paragraph: After a long period of studying the stone to find a subject that “fits” the stone, Achiam created his works by cutting direct without using a model or making a sketch or prototype. He chose hard stone for his monumental works (granite, basalt, sandstone) and more sensual stone for his interior pieces (alabaster, serpentinite).

paragraph: Section::::Awards.

paragraph: BULLET::::- 1965 : Grand Prix des Beaux-Arts de la ville de Paris in 1965

paragraph: Section::::Museums and public collections.

paragraph: A museum is dedicated to Achiam in Israel in the old Roman thermal baths of Shuni (Jabotinsky Park) in Binyamina near Caesarea.

paragraph: Many of his works are in the collections of the Museum of Modern Art and the National Museum of Modern Art in Paris.

paragraph: The Open Museum of Tefen and the Lavon Sculpture Garden (Galilee, Israel) permanently exhibit about ten of his works; nearby are works of other 20th century Israeli artists, such as Itzhak Danziger and Shlomo Selinger.

paragraph: After his death, the suburban region of Arc-de-Seine acquired about twenty of his works so as to place them in the five constituent towns. In the town of Ville-d'Avray, five of them, principally statues evoking music, have been installed in the castle park, near the Academy of Music. Not far away, the town of Sèvres exhibits five works, among them Rooster, Guitar Player, and Maternity.

paragraph: Other institutions, like Gratz College in Philadelphia (USA), the Esterhazy Museum in Eisenstadt (Austria), and the Caisse des dépôts et consignations also possess some works of Achiam.

paragraph: Léo Daniderff

paragraph: Léo Daniderff (Gaston-Ferdinand Niquet; 16 February 1878 in Angers, France – 24 October 1943 in Rosny-sous-Bois, France) was a French composer of the pre-World War II era.

paragraph: His 1917 comical song, a foxtrot-shimmy named ""Je cherche après Titine"" (lyrics by Louis Mauban and Marcel Bertal), became world-famous due to Charlie Chaplin's singing it in gibberish in "Modern Times" (1936), especially because it was the first time his character ever spoke in the movies and Chaplin did not want The Tramp to use any particular language. The title means "I am looking for Titine", and Titine is the diminutive of some feminine first names such as Martine and Clémentine.

paragraph: In the United States this song appeared in 1925 in the Broadway musical "Puzzles of 1925", and was recorded by tenor Billy Jones.

paragraph: In Poland, the song was initially sung as a cabaret number by Eugeniusz Bodo with original lyrics by Andrzej Włast (signing as "Willy" on the music sheet), to a major success. A few years later, in 1939, the song was adapted again, into the ""Wąsik, ach ten wąsik"" ("Oh, what a moustache!") number and performed by Ludwik Sempoliński. This time the lyrics tried to "decide" who was funnier and who brought more to the world, Chaplin or Hitler. After the outbreak of the Second World War, the Gestapo tried to locate both Sempoliński and the lyricist, who was either Julian Tuwim or Marian Hemar, but failed to find either.

paragraph: Around 1964, Jacques Brel also wrote a song named "Titine", incorporating fragments of the melody and referencing both Daniderff's song and Chaplin.

paragraph: Other singers were Georgette Plana and Yves Montand.

paragraph: The song's copyright belongs or belonged to Editions Léon Agel and Les Nouvelles Editions Méridian.

paragraph: Daniderff's other hit song, "Sur la Riviera", was used as the theme for Jean Renoir's film "Boudu Saved from Drowning" (1932).

paragraph: The song was parodied by Gary Muller in 1982 as "My Name Is Not Merv Griffin".

paragraph: Gerard Geldenhouwer

paragraph: Gerardus Geldenhouwer (1482 in Nijmegen – 10 January 1542 in Marburg) was a Dutch historian and Protestant reformer.

paragraph: Geldenhouwer descended from a patrician family from Nijmegen. His father, also named Gerard, was chamberservant at the court of Arnold of Egmond and Adolf of Egmond, dukes of Guelders. He followed an education at the Latin school in Deventer, before he joined the Augustinians. After this he studied at Leuven. Here he wrote his first publications, amongst which are a collection of Satires in the trend of Erasmus' Praise of Folly. In this period he also oversaw the printing of several works of Erasmus and Thomas More.

paragraph: Between 1515 and 1524 he was in service of Philip of Burgundy. This illegitimate son of Philip the Good was first Admiral of Flanders and later bishop of Utrecht. In Utrecht, Geldenhouwer came into contact with the protestantism of Luther. After Philip's death, he travelled through the Low countries and Germany, and visited amongst others the city of Wittenberg to hear Luther. In 1526 he left the Augustinians and married.

paragraph: Six years later he became Professor at the newly founded Lutheran University of Marburg, first as professor of history and later as professor of theology, specializing in the New Testament. Geldenhouwer has earned a place amongst history writers with, amongst others, two studies on the history of the Batavians and their historical importance for the Duchy of Guelders and the city of Nijmegen.

paragraph: Gerard died on 10 January 1542, probably from the plague.

paragraph: Jeb Burton

paragraph: John Edward "Jeb" Burton IV (born August 6, 1992) is an American professional stock car racing driver. He is the son of Ward Burton and the nephew of Jeff Burton. He competed for several seasons as a regular driver at South Boston Speedway, an American racing circuit that his family has historically been known for competing at, as well as at Ace Speedway. He currently competes part-time in each of NASCAR's three national series: he drives the No. 44 Chevrolet Silverado for Niece Motorsports in the NASCAR Gander Outdoors Truck Series, the No. 8 Chevrolet Camaro for JR Motorsports in the NASCAR Xfinity SEries, and the Nos. 51 and 52 Chevrolet Camaro ZL1 and Ford Mustang for Rick Ware Racing in the Monster Energy NASCAR Cup Series.

paragraph: Section::::Personal life.

paragraph: One of three children of Ward and Tabitha, Jeb Burton is a native of Halifax County where he graduated from Halifax County High School in 2011. Like his father, aside from racing Jeb is an avid outdoorsman and hunter.

paragraph: Section::::Racing career.

paragraph: Section::::Racing career.:Early career.

paragraph: Burton started his professional racing career in the NASCAR-sanctioned Whelen All-American Series, in which drivers at local tracks compete for track championships as well as against drivers competing at other tracks for national titles, at South Boston Speedway shortly after his 16th birthday. He made his first start at the track, in the Limited Sportsman Series, in 2008, with his first full season of competition at the track coming in 2009; the 2009 season also saw Burton's best finish in the track's season-ending points standings, finishing 4th in the Limited Sportsman Series. Burton moved up to the track's Late Model Series in 2010, finishing 11th in the final standings, in addition to winning the track's Late Model Rookie of the Year award; he also competed in Late Models during the 2011 racing season.

paragraph: In addition to competing at South Boston Speedway, where both his father and uncle made a name for themselves in their early racing careers, but where Burton, by his own admission, "struggled", Burton competed regularly at Ace Speedway, Orange County Speedway, and other racing circuits in the southern Virginia and central North Carolina areas, including at the "Daytona of Late Models", Martinsville Speedway. Burton's first Late Model win came at Ace Speedway in June 2011; he won a total of five races in Late Model competition over the course of the season at various tracks in the region.

paragraph: Section::::Racing career.:Sports cars.

paragraph: In April 2009, Burton was selected as a "guest driver" to compete in the Sports Car Club of America's SCCA Pro Racing-sanctioned Volkswagen Jetta TDI Cup Series, competing on the road course at Virginia International Raceway. Burton's guest driver status left him ineligible for series points, or for winning any prize money in the event. Burton was able to qualify his vehicle, sponsored by State Water Heaters and the Ward Burton Wildlife Foundation, in the 9th position on the event's starting grid, but finished the race in 22nd; his run was marred by an on-track accident with another driver that knocked him out of competition.

paragraph: Section::::Racing career.:ARCA and NASCAR.

paragraph: By 2011 Burton was considered to be a rising star in the world of stock car racing. In July of that year, Burton made his debut in big-league, touring-series stock car competition, driving the No. 6 Toyota Camry for Eddie Sharp Racing in the ARCA Racing Series' Hantz Group 200 at Berlin Raceway. Burton started 9th and finished 21st in the 200-lap, event; he was involved in a multi-car accident on the opening lap of the race, but rallied to complete 120 of the race's 200 laps before being forced out of competition with suspension failure. Ward Burton stated that he was attempting to secure a sponsor for his son to compete in the full ARCA Racing Series season, however no deal was reached and it was the only ARCA event he would compete in during the year.

paragraph: Later in the 2011 racing season, during competition in the Whelen All-American Series, Burton was briefly suspended by NASCAR, and was fined $250 USD, following an on-track incident in a heat race at South Boston Speedway. He was penalized for throwing a traffic cone at another competitor's vehicle following an accident; his father, also involved in the incident by entering the other driver's pit stall during the event, was placed on probation.

paragraph: After the 2011 season, Burton desired to move up to full-time competition in a national series. In January 2012, it was announced that Burton would be competing for Hillman Racing in the NASCAR Camping World Truck Series during the 2012 racing season, sharing a ride in the No. 27 truck, a Chevrolet, with his father Ward. Due to his lack of experience on large tracks, Burton was ineligible to compete at Daytona International Speedway in the series' season-opening event; He made his debut in the series at Martinsville Speedway in the second race of the season; Trip Bruce served as the team's crew chief.

paragraph: In his first series race at Martinsville Speedway, Burton, competing for Rookie of the Year in the series, finished 13th, on the lead lap. After the sixth race of the season at Dover International Speedway, however, Burton was forced to start skipping races due to a lack of sponsorship.

paragraph: In September 2012, Burton debuted in the Rev-Oil Pro Cup Series, winning his first start in the series at Motor Mile Speedway.

paragraph: Section::::Racing career.:2013–2014.

paragraph: On November 21, 2012, Turner Motorsports announced the signing of Burton to a two-year contract to run a full-time Camping World Truck Series schedule and a limited Nationwide Series schedule in 2013 and 2014. Turner also announced that Burton's father, Ward Burton, had been hired to assist with driver development.

paragraph: In April 2013, Burton won his first Truck Series pole at Martinsville Speedway. On June 7, 2013, Burton won the WinStar World Casino 400K at Texas Motor Speedway, his first career NASCAR win. Later in the season he made his first career start in the NASCAR Canadian Tire Series at Canadian Tire Motorsport Park in September, and his Nationwide Series debut at Kentucky Speedway later in the month.

paragraph: The 2013 season was a success for Burton, as he finished fifth in the overall Camping World Truck Series standings. He totaled 731 points to finish 73 points behind winner Matt Crafton and just one point out of fourth place. In 22 starts, he totaled one win, captured seven pole positions, and had five top 5s and 11 top 10s with only one DNF.

paragraph: Before the start of the 2014 season, Turner Scott Motorsports announced that Burton's sponsor, Arrowhead Cigarettes, had defaulted on its payments, and that they had been forced to close the No. 4 team, leaving Burton without a ride. In early February Burton announced that he had signed with ThorSport Racing to compete in the season-opening Truck Series and ARCA Racing Series events at Daytona International Speedway, initially on a part-time basis, but on May 27, was increased to a full-time ride. For the 2014 season, Burton finished a semi-disappointing eighth in the overall standings, with two top-five and seven top-10 finishes.

paragraph: Section::::Racing career.:2015.

paragraph: In January, ThorSport Racing and sponsor Estes Express Lines announced that they were unable to come up with an extension to continue and the team shut down the No. 13 truck, leaving Burton without a ride. Later however, he was signed by BK Racing to compete in the Sprint Cup Series to replace Cole Whitt, who had just left the team, in the No. 26 Toyota.

paragraph: Burton drove full-time for the team in 2015 and compete for the series' Rookie of the Year Award. He failed to qualify for the Daytona 500 after a wreck during the first Budweiser Duel qualifying race. However, the next week Burton qualified 40th for his first Sprint Cup race, the Folds of Honor QuikTrip 500 at Atlanta Motor Speedway. He completed the race, finishing 35th. He had his best race to that point on March 29 when he finished 29th in the STP 500 at Martinsville Speedway. However, Burton failed to qualify four times in the next six races, and crashed in his two starts in the No. 26 during this stretch, at Bristol and Kansas. Estes would ultimately renew their sponsorship of Burton beginning at Richmond; when Burton failed to qualify there, he and Estes shifted to BK's No. 23, in place of regular driver J. J. Yeley. After failing to qualify at Charlotte, Burton was able to qualify for the next eight races, before failing to qualify for the Brickyard 400. Burton would fail to qualify again at the Bristol Night Race. Prior to Darlington, BK Racing announced that he and Yeley would swap rides on a permanent basis, to give Burton a better shot of making races while Yeley would work to bring the No. 26 back up in the owner points (it was ranked 44th after 24 races). Burton was able to qualify for his first seven races in the No. 23; this streak came to an end at Talladega, where Burton posted the No. 23's first-ever DNQ. The next week, on the series' return at Martinsville, Burton would improve his career-best with a 27th-place finish. He would miss eight races during the season. Burton finished third in Rookie of the Year standings despite running the full season. Despite initial reports that his contract was "multi-year", Burton did not return to BK Racing for 2016.

paragraph: Burton returned to the Truck Series for the fall race at Texas, driving the No. 00 for JR Motorsports.

paragraph: Section::::Racing career.:2016–present.

paragraph: Burton joined Richard Petty Motorsports to drive the No. 43 in the Xfinity Series. In June, sponsor J. Steicher and Co. defaulted on their agreement with RPM, and the No. 43 team suspended operations. Burton returned to the Cup Series for the Axalta "We Paint Winners" 400 at Pocono, driving for Go Fas Racing. In July, Burton and Estes Express Lines joined Biagi-DenBeste Racing to compete in the Xfinity Series at Indianapolis and Richmond, driving the No. 98.

paragraph: On February 24, 2017, Burton and JGL Racing announced a multi-race agreement where Burton would drive JGL's No. 24. At the Daytona July race, he scored a fourth-place finish.

paragraph: In 2018, Burton partnered with Richard Childress Racing for a part-time Xfinity schedule in the No. 3 car. In October, he made his return to the Truck and Cup Series at Martinsville, driving the No. 30 Toyota truck for On Point Motorsports and the No. 51 Chevrolet for Rick Ware Racing, respectively.

paragraph: In 2019, Burton joined JR Motorsports on a limited Xfinity slate in the No. 8 Chevrolet. He also returned to Ware and the Cup Series for the STP 500 at Martinsville. In July, he signed with Niece Motorsports to compete in the Truck race at Kentucky.

paragraph: Matthias F. Cowley

paragraph: Matthias Foss Cowley (August 25, 1858 – June 16, 1940) was a member of the Quorum of the Twelve Apostles of The Church of Jesus Christ of Latter-day Saints (LDS Church) from 1897 until 1905. He resigned from the Quorum of the Twelve due to his unwillingness to support the church's abolition of plural marriage. He and John W. Taylor are the most recent apostles of the LDS Church to have resigned from their positions.

paragraph: Section::::Calling to the Twelve.

paragraph: Cowley was born in Salt Lake City, Utah Territory. He was ordained an apostle on October 7, 1897, by church president Wilford Woodruff. He replaced Moses Thatcher, who was removed from the Quorum at the April 1896 General Conference. Cowley was widely noted in the church for his sermons on doctrine.

paragraph: Cowley submitted his resignation from the Quorum of the Twelve, at the request of church president Joseph F. Smith, on October 28, 1905, because his presence in the hierarchy undermined the church's position in the Reed Smoot hearings. Cowley was notorious for having performed marriages that contravened the church's 1890 Manifesto, which prohibited the contracting of new plural marriages. Apostle John W. Taylor resigned for the same reason at the same time. With the death of apostle Marriner W. Merrill in early February of the next year, there were three vacancies in the Quorum of the Twelve. At the April 1906 General Conference, the resignations of Cowley and Taylor were presented to and accepted by the general church membership. As a result, three new apostles were called to replace them and Merrill: George F. Richards, Orson F. Whitney, and David O. McKay.

paragraph: Section::::After the Quorum.

paragraph: Reports of Cowley's continuing involvement in new plural marriages led to his priesthood being suspended by the church on May 11, 1911. This rare and virtually unique disciplinary procedure was used for Cowley because the members of the Quorum of the Twelve disagreed about whether to leave him undisciplined, to disfellowship him, or to excommunicate him.

paragraph: After his priesthood was suspended, Cowley's name continued to be linked with plural marriage over the next several years. As late as the early 1920s, Cowley was meeting with excommunicated polygamists as the early Mormon fundamentalists began to coalesce at the Baldwin Radio Plant in Salt Lake City. In the mid-1920s, Cowley broke all ties with the polygamous dissenters. His priesthood standing in the LDS Church was restored on April 3, 1936, which was nearly 25 years after it had been suspended.

paragraph: Cowley was never restored to his position in the Quorum of the Twelve. He died in his home in Salt Lake City, Utah, from uremia resulting from kidney failure. He was buried at Salt Lake City Cemetery.

paragraph: Section::::Honors and children.

paragraph: The town of Cowley, Wyoming, is named after Cowley. He was the father of LDS Church apostle Matthew Cowley by his wife Abbie Hyde. His son Samuel P. Cowley, by his wife Luella Parkinson, was an FBI agent best known for his death at the hands of Lester "Baby Face Nelson" Gillis in 1934.

paragraph: Hemma

paragraph: Emma of Altdorf, also known as Hemma ( – 31 January 876), a member of the Elder House of Welf, was Queen consort of East Francia by marriage to King Louis the German, from 843 until her death.

paragraph: Section::::Life.

paragraph: Her father was Welf I (d. 825), Count of Altorf in Alamannia; her mother was Hedwig (Heilwig; c. 775 – after 833), a daughter of the Saxon count Isambart. Emma's elder sister was Judith (sometimes called "of Bavaria"), who in February 819 married the Carolingian emperor Louis the Pious, and thereby became Queen consort of the Franks and Holy Roman Empress. The marriage marked a crucial step forward in the rise of the Welf dynasty.

paragraph: In 827, probably at the instigation of Judith, Emma married Louis the German, the youngest son of Emperor Louis the Pious from his first marriage with Ermengarde of Hesbaye, and stepson of Emma's sister Judith. The wedding ceremony possibly took place in Regensburg, Bavaria, where since 817 Louis the German was to rule as a King of Bavaria subordinate to his father; Emma was thus Queen consort of Bavaria. She was given in 833, by her husband Louis, Obermünster Abbey in Regensburg.

paragraph: Emperor Louis died in 840. After severe innerdynastic struggles, the Carolingian Empire eventually was divided according to the Treaty of Verdun in 843. The Kingdom of Bavaria was merged with Louis the German's Kingdom of East Francia (the predecessor of the Kingdom of Germany), and his wife Emma became the first East Frankish queen.

paragraph: Emma is rarely mentioned in contemporary sources; she does not seem to have had much influence on her husband's rule. The "Annales Bertiniani" written by Archbishop Hincmar of Reims however reproach Emma for a pride which displeased the people of Italy. She is also said to have inordinately favoured her son Carloman, designated heir of his father in Bavaria, which led to a revolt by his brothers.

paragraph: Emma suffered a stroke in 874 and subsequently became paralyzed and speechless; King Louis visited her the last time in 875. She died on 31 January 876, a few months before her husband, and was buried in St. Emmeram's Abbey, Regensburg. Her tomb, erected around 1300, is considered a masterpiece of medieval sculpture.

paragraph: Section::::Family.

paragraph: By Louis, she had eight children:

paragraph: Jimmy Rogers (June 3, 1924 – December 19, 1997) was a Chicago blues singer, guitarist and harmonica player, best known for his work as a member of Muddy Waters's band in the early 1950s. He also had solo hits on the R&B chart with "That's All Right" in 1950 and "Walking by Myself" in 1954. He withdrew from the music industry at the end of the 1950s but returned to recording and touring in the 1970s.

paragraph: He is not to be confused with the country music singer Jimmie Rodgers or the pop singer Jimmie Rodgers.

paragraph: Section::::Career.

paragraph: Rogers was born Jay Arthur Lane in Ruleville, Mississippi, on June 3, 1924. He was raised in Atlanta and Memphis. He adopted his stepfather's surname. He learned to play the harmonica with his childhood friend Snooky Pryor, and as a teenager he took up the guitar. He played professionally in East St. Louis, Illinois, with Robert Lockwood, Jr., among others. Rogers moved to Chicago in the mid-1940s. By 1946, he had recorded as a harmonica player and singer for the Harlem record label, run by J. Mayo Williams. Rogers's name did not appear on the record, which was mislabeled as the work of Memphis Slim and His Houserockers.

paragraph: In 1947, Rogers, Muddy Waters and Little Walter began playing together, forming Waters's first band in Chicago (sometimes referred to as the Headcutters or the Headhunters, because of their practice of stealing jobs from other local bands). The band members recorded and released music credited to each of them as solo artists. The band defined the sound of the nascent Chicago blues style (more specifically, South Side Chicago blues). Rogers recorded several sides of his own with small labels in Chicago, but none were released at the time. He began to achieve success as a solo artist in 1950, with the hit song "That's All Right", released by Chess Records, but he stayed in Waters's band until 1954. In the mid-1950s he had several successful records released by Chess, most of them featuring either Little Walter or Big Walter Horton on harmonica, notably "Walking by Myself". In the late 1950s, as interest in the blues waned, he gradually withdrew from the music industry.

paragraph: In the early 1960s, Rogers briefly worked as a member of Howling Wolf's band, before quitting the music business altogether for almost a decade. He worked as a taxicab driver and owned a clothing store, which burned down in the 1968 Chicago riots following the assassination of Martin Luther King, Jr. Rogers gradually began performing in public again, and in 1971, when fashions made him somewhat popular in Europe, he began occasionally touring and recording, including a 1977 session with Waters which resulted in the album "I'm Ready". By 1982, Rogers was again a full-time solo artist. He owned and drove a white 1965 Ford Mustang Convertible which he eventually sold. He continued touring and recording albums until his death.

paragraph: He was inducted into the Blues Hall of Fame in 1995.

paragraph: Rogers died of colon cancer in Chicago in 1997. He was survived by his son, Jimmy D. Lane, a guitarist, record producer and recording engineer for Blue Heaven Studios and APO Records.

paragraph: On June 25, 2019, "The New York Times Magazine" listed Jimmy Rogers among hundreds of artists whose material was reportedly destroyed in the 2008 Universal fire.

paragraph: Eleuterio Pagliano

paragraph: Eleuterio Pagliano (2 May 1826 – 5 January 1903) was an Italian painter of the Romantic period as well as an activist and fighter of the "Risorgimento".

paragraph: Section::::Biography.

paragraph: Pagliano was born in Casale Monferrato in the Kingdom of Sardinia and studied at the Brera Academy in Milan until 1848. He initially trained with Giuseppe Sogni, then under the neoclassic painter Luigi Sabatelli. He began his artistic career with paintings in a distinctly Neoclassical style, but very quickly he was won over to Romanticism, as championed then in Milan by Hayez and Tranquillo Cremona. He painted the "Death of Luciano Manara".

paragraph: He again joined the "Risorgimento" included joining the popular revolt against the Austrian garrison in Milan known as the "cinque giornate" of 1848. He joined the Bersaglieri di Manara in the defense of the Republic of Rome in 1848, but returned to painting by 1851. The urge to battle resumed in 1859, when he rejoined the army fighting in Lombardy.

paragraph: Again returning to art after his stint in the militias, he painted "Presa del cimitero di Solferino", a battle in which he participated. In 1872, his painting of "Maramaldo" (referring to Fabrizio Maramaldo), awarded a prize at the Milan Exhibition, was sold to the Khedive of Egypt. Pagliano also won prizes for works at the 1867 Exhibitions of Parma, Turin, and Paris, and a gold medal at the Berlin Exhibition. Among his main works are: "La Ragione di Stato (Reasons of State)"; "The Divorce of Napoleon I"; "Tintoretto paints his dead daughter's portrait";" L'inventario (The inventory)"; "La lezione di geografia (Geography Lesson)"; "San Luigi", and the large canvas of "Il passaggio del Ticino" (1859) commissioned by Antonio Traversi of Verona. He painted large tempera paintings for the first class waiting room at the train station of Milan. He also helped decorate theaters in Como and Verona. He was made an official in the Order of the Crown of Italy, Knight of the Order of Saints Maurizio e Lazzaro, knighted by King Leopold of Belgium, and knighted with the Legion d'Onore, and as a Commendatore of the Order of the Medjidie by the Ottoman rulers of Egypt.

paragraph: Other painters who joined Garibaldi were Giuseppe Sogni, Gerolamo Induno, Paolo Calvi, and Sebastiano de Albertis. His artworks too—including a portrait of Garibaldi and a six-meter-wide painting (pictured) of the disembarkment of Garibaldi and his “Hunters of the Alps” at Sesto Calende on Lake Maggiore—reflected his patriotic involvement in the Italian Wars of Independence.

paragraph: Later in his life, Pagliano became a teacher and counted among his pupils the painters Pompeo Mariani, Spartaco Vela, and Uberto Dell’Orto.

paragraph: Eleuterio Pagliano died in Milan at the age of 75. During his lifetime his paintings had failed to make a great stir; however, his reputation increased when, shortly after his death, an exhibition in his honor was mounted in Milan.

paragraph: Jason Garrison

paragraph: Jason John Maxwell Garrison (born November 13, 1984) is a Canadian professional ice hockey defenseman currently playing with Djurgårdens IF of the Swedish Hockey League (SHL).

paragraph: Garrison played two years of Junior A with the Nanaimo Clippers of the British Columbia Hockey League (BCHL), during which time he earned a scholarship to play college hockey with the University of Minnesota Duluth. Following his third NCAA year, he signed with the Florida Panthers of the National Hockey League (NHL) as an undrafted free agent in 2008. Garrison spent four years with the Panthers organization, setting franchise records for single-season goals and power play goals by a defenceman in 2011–12.

paragraph: Section::::Playing career.

paragraph: Section::::Playing career.:Junior and college.

paragraph: Garrison did not make the transition from minor to junior hockey until age 19. He did not play in the top tier of junior hockey in the Western Hockey League (WHL) and instead joined the Nanaimo Clippers of the British Columbia Hockey League (BCHL), where he played at the Junior A level for two years. Appearing in 52 regular season games in 2003–04, he recorded 7 goals and 27 assists as a rookie. A forward in his minor hockey years, Garrison switched to defence in his first junior year. Garrison went on to add 3 goals and 13 points over 24 playoff games as the Clippers won the Fred Page Cup as BCHL champions and the Doyle Cup as Western Canada regional champions. Competing for the national title at the 2004 Royal Bank Cup, the Clippers finished last out of five teams. Garrison had three assists in four tournament contests. The following season, he improved to 22 goals and 62 points over 57 games, ranking second in team scoring. The Clippers finished first in BCHL regular season play, but were eliminated in the Fred Page Cup Semi-finals.

paragraph: Earning an athletic scholarship, Garrison went on to play NCAA hockey with the University of Minnesota Duluth of the Western Collegiate Hockey Association (WCHA). In his freshman year, he scored 3 goals and 12 assists over 40 games in 2005–06. In the following two seasons, Garrison struggled with injuries and recorded 3 points over 21 games and 14 points over 26 games in 2006–07 and 2007–08, respectively.

paragraph: Section::::Playing career.:Professional.:Florida Panthers.

paragraph: Garrison opted to forgo his senior year of college after being offered an NHL contract with the Florida Panthers. He signed a two-year, entry level contract with the team on April 2, 2008. Turning professional in 2008–09, he was assigned to the Panthers' American Hockey League (AHL) affiliate, the Rochester Americans. Within a month, he was recalled by the Panthers and appeared in his first NHL game against the St. Louis Blues on October 25, 2008. It was the only NHL game he appeared in that season, as he was quickly returned to the minors. In the AHL, he scored 8 goals and 35 points in 75 games, ranking fourth among rookie defencemen in AHL scoring.

paragraph: Garrison split the season in 2009–10 between the Panthers and the Americans, scoring his first NHL goal in a 7–4 victory over the Philadelphia Flyers on March 3, 2010. Playing in 39 NHL games, he scored two goals and eight points, while also recording 3 goals and 19 points in 38 AHL contests. Forming a shutdown pairing with Mike Weaver, Garrison played his first full season with the Panthers in 2010–11. Appearing in 73 games, he totalled 5 goals and 18 points. With a –2 plus-minus rating while playing on the worst team in the Eastern Conference, Garrison was ranked by James Mirtle of "The Globe and Mail" as the NHL's second-best defensive defenceman.

paragraph: Playing in his fourth season with the Panthers organization, Garrison was instrumental in the team's newfound success in 2011–12, playing in a more offensive role on a pairing with Brian Campbell. On March 23, 2012, Garrison set a Panthers franchise record for most goals by a defenceman in a single season with his 16th goal in a game against the Edmonton Oilers. He surpassed the previous mark of 15 set by Jay Bouwmeester (2007–08 and 2008–09) and Bryan McCabe (2008–09). His nine powerplay goals also tied the team record held by Bouwmeester (2008–09) and Gord Murphy (1993–94). Adding 17 assists, Garrison finished with 33 points in 77 games, helping the Panthers reach the Stanley Cup playoffs for the first time since 2000. Playing the New Jersey Devils in the first round, they were eliminated in seven games. Garrison recorded a goal and two assists in four playoff games before sustaining a pair of lower-body injuries that sidelined him for the remainder of the series.

paragraph: Section::::Playing career.:Professional.:Vancouver Canucks.

paragraph: Becoming an unrestricted free agent in the off-season, Garrison signed a six-year, $27.6 million contract with the Vancouver Canucks on July 1, 2012. His $4.6 million cap hit constituted a nearly sevenfold increase of his previous season's $675,000 salary. In the months ahead of his free agency, Garrison went on record as being interested in playing for the Canucks, his hometown team. Due to the 2012–13 NHL lockout, Garrison's debut with his new team was delayed until February 2013. Upon the commencement of NHL play, his struggles to adjust with his new team were well-publicized, as he was taken off the powerplay unit and separated from his intended defensive partner, Alexander Edler, within the first month. He would find success with Dan Hamhuis later in the season, however, reprising his role as a defensive-defenseman with a booming shot.

paragraph: Section::::Playing career.:Professional.:Tampa Bay Lightning.

paragraph: On June 27, 2014, Garrison was traded to the Tampa Bay Lightning (along with the rights to Jeff Costello and a seventh-round draft pick in the 2015 NHL Entry Draft) in exchange for a second-round pick in the 2014 NHL Entry Draft. The pick was traded by Vancouver for forward Linden Vey. On October 31, 2015, Garrison skated in his 400th career NHL game, a 1–3 loss to the visiting Boston Bruins. On January 8, 2017, Garrison played in his 500th career NHL game.

paragraph: Section::::Playing career.:Professional.:Vegas Golden Knights.

paragraph: On June 21, 2017, Garrison was selected by the Vegas Golden Knights in the 2017 NHL Expansion Draft. The Knights received the rights to Nikita Gusev, a second-round pick in the 2017 NHL Entry Draft and a fourth-round pick in the 2018 NHL Entry Draft for selecting Garrison from the Lightning. On October 27, Garrison was placed on waivers by the Golden Knights, and was then sent to the Golden Knights' AHL affiliate, the Chicago Wolves, on October 28.

paragraph: Section::::Playing career.:Professional.:Edmonton Oilers.

paragraph: On August 28, 2018, Garrison signed a professional tryout (PTO) contract with the Edmonton Oilers, and on October 2, signed a one-year contract with the Oilers to begin the 2018–19 season. Initially starting as a healthy scratch, Garrison drew into the lineup for the Oilers appearing in 17 games for 1 goal before on December 30, 2018, Garrison was included in a trade by the Oilers (along with Drake Caggiula) to the Chicago Blackhawks in exchange for Brandon Manning and Robin Norell. The following day, Garrison was placed on waivers by the Blackhawks and upon clearing was assigned to join their AHL affiliate, the Rockford IceHogs, on January 1, 2019. After failing to report to the IceHogs, Garrison was placed on unconditional waivers by the Blackhawks in order to mutually terminate his contract on January 2, 2019.

paragraph: Section::::Playing career.:Professional.:Djurgårdens IF.

paragraph: Following his release from his contract with the Blackhawks, as a free agent, Garrison opted to pursue a career abroad, promptly signing his first contract abroad in agreeing to play for the remainder of the 2018–19 season in the Swedish Hockey League (SHL) with Djurgårdens IF on January 7, 2019.

paragraph: Section::::Personal life.

paragraph: Garrison was born and raised in White Rock, British Columbia, where he attended Chantrell Creek Elementary and Elgin Park Secondary School. He played minor hockey in nearby Semiahmoo Bay, as well as Burnaby and Langley. Growing up, he also played rugby, volleyball and was an avid snowboarder. Moving away from home to play junior hockey in 2003, he lived in Nanaimo, British Columbia, for two years before attending the University of Minnesota Duluth on an athletic scholarship to play for the ice hockey team. During his NHL career with the Florida Panthers, he lived in Fort Lauderdale while returning to a home in Downtown Vancouver in the off-seasons.

paragraph: Vjekoslav Heinzel

paragraph: Vjekoslav Heinzel (; 21 August 1871 – 1 March 1934) was the Mayor of Zagreb from 1920 to 1928. He is best remembered for great development projects of the 1920s that significantly expanded the city.

paragraph: Heinzel was born into an entrepreneurial family in Zagreb, and was sent to Graz and Stuttgart to become an architect, graduating in 1893. Licensed for standalone work as an architect in 1896, he designed numerous buildings in Zagreb. In 1910, he became a city councillor and in 1912, he became the head of the local Chamber of Trade and Crafts. The same year he ceased his professional activities and traveled across Europe, before he returned and organized the food supply of Zagreb during World War I.

paragraph: Heinzel was also an early automobilist, who along with Ferdinand Budicki drove the first car in Zagreb, and was one of the founders of the Croatian automobile club in 1906. He participated in many early car races, including winning the first race for the championship of the Kingdom of Croatia-Slavonia in 1912.

paragraph: During the Kingdom of Serbs, Croats and Slovenes, Heinzel was first elected mayor in 1920 and served until the August 1921, when the city administration was temporarily disbanded. In 1922, he was elected as a member of the Croatian Bloc. In 1926 and 1927 he had a falling out with the Party of Rights and the Croatian Peasant Party, but was re-elected in the subsequent election. His administration organized the construction of large sections of today's Peščenica, Trnje, Trešnjevka, Maksimir and other city neighborhoods. His contributions included the construction and expansion of numerous hospitals, the beginning of the Dolac Market, and the reconstruction of the Laščinska road, later Sajmišna, and today the Vjekoslav Heinzel Avenue, a prominent north-south avenue in the eastern part of the city that starts at the Eugen Kvaternik Square and divides Trnje and Peščenica.

paragraph: During Heinzel's term as mayor, Zagreb got its first 0.35 kW radio transmitter on 15 June 1926. On 1 April the same year, the city installed its first automatic switchboard, with the capacity of 7,000 telephone subscribers.

paragraph: Heinzel's efforts came at a considerable cost, however, as the city had to take out a loan of 250 million Yugoslav dinars, a topic of much criticism at the time.
