paragraph: Eric Biddines

paragraph: Eric Biddines (born Ocala, Florida) is an American rapper, vocalist, and record producer based in Palm Beach, Florida. He has released several albums on his label planetcoffeebean, and in 2010 was nominated for Independent Artist of the Year at the Palm Beach Hip Hop Awards. His most recent album, "The Local Cafe", was released in 2017, with the music video for the track "Railroads Down/Unfished" released to MTV2 and MTV Jams in April 2014. He has released several other music videos as well. BET wrote that Biddines' music "demonstrates a Dungeon Family-like propensity for interweaving harmonious refrains into complex flows to create a sound that sandwiches pure hip hop with layerings of funk and R&B."

paragraph: Section::::Early life.

paragraph: Eric Biddines was born in the city of Ocala, Florida. At the age of six he moved to Delray Beach, Florida in Palm Beach County, where he was raised by his mother in a strict religious Jehovah's Witness household. At a young age he and his three siblings listened to modern R&B and early Motown artists such as Al Green and Luther Vandross. He also listened to hip hop at a young age. As a teenager he was inspired to change his lifestyle by lyrics in the OutKast album "ATLiens", where Andre 3000 raps "No drugs or alcohol so I can get the signal clear." Recollected Biddines, when he first heard the lyrics "I was 13 and I grew up in the projects, like government assistance. Being bad was the cool thing so when Andre said that at a time when the South was struggling to establish an identity, it just threw me off and inspired me so much that — not that I was supposed to at 13 — but I haven't gotten into any of those activities ever since."

paragraph: Section::::Music career.

paragraph: Section::::Music career.:2009-13: First releases.

paragraph: In 2009 Biddines released the music video for his track "Walkin'." He released his first solo mixtape, "DaCoffeeShop", in 2010. The album was self-released on his own label planetcoffeebean. About the creation of his label and narrative world of his lyrics, in 2013 Biddines stated that "Planet Coffee Bean is an escape. I like to believe when my followers see me or play my music, it gives them an out-of-body experience. Like, I'm branding landmarks and characters throughout my projects, and there's themes that help you bring the mental aspect into this physical world." After the release of "DaCoffeeShop", in 2010 he was nominated independent Artist of the Year at the Palm Beach Hip Hop Awards. That year he also released his full-length debut, titled "FLA Alien: Planet Coffee Bean." Stated the "New Times", the album "formulated an alternative lifestyle, all revolving around a brewed cup of java."

paragraph: He released the mixtape "Aye Story About Love" in 2011, which the "New Times" called "a neosoul, introspective effort that delved into all the trappings of romance." On April 27, 2012 he released the EP "The Frozen Lake," on his own label planetcoffeebean. He performs periodically in Florida, and in March 2013 he opened for Solillaquists of Sound at Speakeasy Lounge.

paragraph: Section::::Music career.:2013-14: "Planetcoffeebean 2" and music videos.

paragraph: His fifth album, "Planetcoffeebean 2," was released independently in 2013. He stated that "Planet Coffee Bean 2" was likely his "most flexible and well-balanced album." He worked on the songs for two years, recording around fifty songs and focusing for months on the artwork. The final cut included twelve tracks.

paragraph: Biddines has released several official music videos. In April 2014 his video "Message in a Bottle" premiered on Complex.com, and his video for "Railroad Down/Unfinished", a track first included on "Planetcoffeebean 2", was exclusively released on HipHopDX on April 14, 2014. MTV Jams put "Railroads Down/Unfinished" in heavy rotation in April, and it also premiered on MTV2.

paragraph: Biddine's friend Ryan Synder, who has worked on videos for Maybach Music Group and Dre Films, directed the film for "Railroad Down/Unfinished". The music video takes the form of a narrative, with Biddines' character enslaved on a Southern plantation. A number of other characters take part, with Biddines doing his own stunts. Biddines had come up with the setting for the video before finishing the song in 2013, stating "I wanted to make a beat that sounds like it was being created live. Like, whatever was going on in the surroundings also went on in the music. So you could kind of hear the steps and the crickets or whatever the case may be. I needed to pick a setting and place that [had] those same things."

paragraph: In 2014 after performing at SXSW he partnered with Richie Abbott of Strange Music, working with his Juggernaut Sound imprint in association with Empire Distribution to re-release "planetcoffeebean 2". The new "deluxe" edition features five new songs. Together he and producer Paul White form the hip hop duo Golden Rules. They released their debut "Golden Ticket" in 2015.

paragraph: Section::::Style and equipment.

paragraph: Jake Rohn of BET wrote in 2014 that Biddines' music "demonstrates a Dungeon Family-like propensity for interweaving harmonious refrains into complex flows to create a sound that sandwiches pure hip hop with layerings of funk and R&B". HipHopDX writes that Biddines has a "deep Southern sound that's at times as soulful as it is fervent — and an introspective nature that allows him to expertly use a cup of coffee as a metaphor for the daily grind".

paragraph: About "Planetcoffeebean 2" Hilly Dilly positively compared him to Andre 3000 for his ability to both rap and sing well, while also complimenting his individual take on Southern rap. Biddines has stated that "I grew up on the Dungeon Family, Cee Lo, Goodie Mob, OutKast, Devin the Dude — a lot of Southern music, but something the artists I just mentioned have in common is they're different. I'm not gonna do what everybody around me is doing —so my direction was to be consciously different." About his own genre, Biddines has stated that "I probably do like 25 percent R&B 'cause it's just so you get a little taste, and not so much that I'm overdoing it 'cause I'm still primarily in the rap category. If you sing too much it becomes boring, but if I give you like 75 percent rap and sing just as flawlessly then you look at it like, 'Whoa, he can spit but his melodic side sounds too good.'"

paragraph: Benjamin Danielsson Roth

paragraph: Benjamin Danielsson Roth (German: Roht) was a Saxon blacksmith and farrier who emigrated to Sweden sometime between 1706 and 1709 during the Great Northern War. He is best known for his work on Charles XII's Stair at Katarina Church in Stockholm, Sweden.

paragraph: Section::::Emigration to Sweden.

paragraph: Roth family legend speculated that Benjamin was either hired or conscripted to serve as a blacksmith for the army of Charles XII of Sweden when it marched north from Saxony to invade the Russian Empire and that he most likely returned to Sweden with other surviving members of the Swedish army after their defeat by Peter the Great. This narrative conflicts with his marriage to a Swedish woman in 1704 and the fact that Saxony was not defeated and subsequently allied with Sweden until 1706. This means that either:

paragraph: A. Benjamin's emigration to Sweden happened sometime before 1704 and was unrelated to Saxony's alliance with Sweden or;

paragraph: B. The records that indicate a marriage date of 1704 are incorrect. Their first child was born in August 1707 so an actual marriage date of sometime in 1706 is possible.

paragraph: Section::::Life in Sweden.

paragraph: Benjamin settled in the part of Stockholm called Södermalm where he worked as a master farrier. He married Catharina Berg, the daughter of Swedish locksmith Lars Olsson Berg, in 1704. They had 7 children: Maria, Catharina, Carl, Benjamin, Christina Charlotta and Margareta and one unknown who died in birth/infancy.

paragraph: In addition to their home in Södermalm, an estate inventory in 1763 shows that they owned two small stone houses between Baggensgatan and Västerlånggatan in Gamla Stan (Old Town). Benjamin was a member of the German parish and eventually became an alderman in Stockholm's farrier guild.

paragraph: Section::::Roht vs. Roth.

paragraph: None of the sources relating to Benjamin Roth speak to or explain the alternate spelling of Roth found on Karl XII's stair. One possibility is that in the past names had different spellings in different countries. (I.E. Karl in Germany, Karl or Carl in Sweden, Charles in England, Char in France, Carolos in Latin, etc.) It may simply have been spelled Roht in Saxony and Roth in Sweden, and the family eventually formally adopted the Swedish spelling.

paragraph: Section::::Benjamin's Admiration for Charles XII of Sweden.

paragraph: Karl XII:s Trappa

paragraph: Sometime between 1712 and 1715 Benjamin was commissioned to forge a railing for a staircase at Katarina Church in Södermalm. The stair was dedicated to Charles XII of Sweden and his royal monogram appears above the dedication date. He is also mentioned in the poem that is engraved on the pillars on either side of the stair. This double staircase leads from the cemetery up to the southern entrance of the church. It was dedicated in 1715 and he was paid 300 riksdaler for the work. The railing was renovated by Benjamin's son, Carl Roth, in 1776.

paragraph: Tradition of Carl

paragraph: Benjamin named his first son Carl in honor of the king of Sweden, Charles XII. This began a tradition in House Roth where some or all of the male children (usually at least the oldest) are named Carl and are commonly known by their middle names. This tradition has persisted within certain branches of House Roth for over 300 years to present day: The youngest being Carl Larson Samuel Roth, son of Carl Jan Christian and Stephanie Roth, born 2016.

paragraph: Piye

paragraph: Piye (once transliterated as Piankhi; d. 714 BC) was an ancient Kushite king and founder of the Twenty-fifth dynasty of Egypt who ruled Egypt from 744–714 BC. He ruled from the city of Napata, located deep in Nubia, modern-day Sudan.

paragraph: Section::::Name.

paragraph: Piye adopted two throne names: Usimare and Sneferre. He was passionate about the worship of the god Amun, like many kings of Nubia. He revitalized the moribund Great Temple of Amun at Jebel Barkal, which was first built under Thutmose III of the New Kingdom, employing numerous sculptors and stonemasons from Egypt. He was once thought to have also used the throne name 'Menkheperre' ("the Manifestation of Ra abides") but this prenomen has now been recognized as belonging to a local Theban king named Ini instead who was a contemporary of Piye.

paragraph: Section::::Family.

paragraph: Piye was the son of Kashta and Pebatjma. He is known to have had three or four wives. Abar was the mother of his successor Taharqa. Further wives are Tabiry, Peksater and probably Khensa.

paragraph: Piye is known to have had several children. He was the father of:

paragraph: BULLET::::- King Shebitku. Said to be a son of Piye, or alternatively a brother of Piye.

paragraph: BULLET::::- King Taharqa. Son of Queen Abar. He would take the throne after his uncle Shabaka and another male relative Shebitku.

paragraph: BULLET::::- God's Wife of Amun Shepenwepet II. Installed in Thebes during the reign of her brother Taharqa.

paragraph: BULLET::::- Qalhata, wife of King Shabaka, she was the mother of king Tanutamun and probably of King Shabataka as well.

paragraph: BULLET::::- Tabekenamun married her brother Taharqa.

paragraph: BULLET::::- Naparaye married her brother Taharqa.

paragraph: BULLET::::- Takahatenamun married her brother Taharqa.

paragraph: BULLET::::- Arty, married king Shebitku.

paragraph: BULLET::::- Har. Known from an offering table of his daughter Wadjrenes from Thebes (TT34).

paragraph: BULLET::::- Khaliut, Governor of Kanad according to a stela found at Barkal.

paragraph: BULLET::::- Princess Mutirdis, Chief Prophet of Hathor and Mut in Thebes and daughter of Piye according to Morkot. Thought to be a daughter of a local ruler named Menkheperre Khmuny from Hermopolis by Kitchen.

paragraph: Section::::Conquest of Egypt.

paragraph: As ruler of Nubia and Upper Egypt, Piye took advantage of the squabbling of Egypt's rulers by expanding Nubia's power beyond Thebes into Lower Egypt. In reaction to this, Tefnakht of Sais formed a coalition between the local kings of the Delta Region and enticed Piye's nominal ally—king Nimlot of Hermopolis—to defect to his side. Tefnakht then sent his coalition army south and besieged Herakleopolis where its king Peftjauawybast and the local Nubian commanders appealed to Piye for help. Piye reacted quickly to this crisis in his regnal year 20 by assembling an army to invade Middle and Lower Egypt and visited Thebes in time for the great Opet Festival which proves he effectively controlled Upper Egypt by this time. His military feats are chronicled in the Victory stela at Gebel Barkal.

paragraph: Piye viewed his campaign as a Holy War, commanding his soldiers to cleanse themselves ritually before beginning battle. He himself offered sacrifices to the great god Amun.

paragraph: Piye then marched north and achieved complete victory at Herakleopolis, conquering the cities of Hermopolis and Memphis among others, and received the submission of the kings of the Nile Delta including Iuput II of Leontopolis, Osorkon IV of Tanis and his former ally Nimlot at Hermopolis. Hermopolis fell to the Nubian king after a siege lasting five months. Tefnakht took refuge in an island in the Delta and formally conceded defeat in a letter to the Nubian king but refused to personally pay homage to the Kushite ruler. Satisfied with his triumph, Piye proceeded to sail south to Thebes and returned to his homeland in Nubia never to return to Egypt.

paragraph: Despite Piye's successful campaign into the Delta, his authority only extended northward from Thebes up to the western desert oases and Herakleopolis where Peftjauawybast ruled as a Nubian vassal king. The local kings of Lower Egypt—especially Tefnakht—were essentially free to do what they wanted without Piye's oversight. It was Shabaka, Piye's successor, who later rectified this unsatisfactory situation by attacking Sais and defeating Tefnakht's successor Bakenranef there, in his second regnal year.

paragraph: Section::::Length of reign.

paragraph: Piye's highest known date was long thought to be the "Year 24 III Akhet day 10" date mentioned in the "Smaller Dakhla Stela" (Ashmolean Museum No.1894) from the Sutekh temple of Mut el-Kharab in the Dakhla Oasis. However, the inscriptions within a vizier's tomb, discovered in 2006 in Deir El-Bahari, indicate that the vizier died in the 27th year of Piye. Also possibly relevant are the reliefs from the Great Temple at Jebel Barkal, which depict Piye celebrating a Heb Sed Festival. Such festivals were traditionally celebrated in a king's 30th Year. It is debated whether the reliefs portrayed historical events, or were prepared in advance for the festival - in which case Piye might have died before his 30th regnal year. The 2006 discovery lends more weight to the former theory.

paragraph: Kenneth Kitchen has suggested a reign of 31 years for Piye, based on the Year 8 donation stela of a king Shepsesre Tefnakht who is commonly viewed as Piye's opponent. A dissenting opinion came from Olivier Perdu in 2002, who believes that this stela refers instead to the later king Tefnakht II because of stylistic similarities to another, dated to Year 2 of Necho I's reign.

paragraph: Section::::Burial.

paragraph: Piye's tomb was located next to the largest Pyramid in the cemetery, designated Ku.1 (seen in the image on the right), at el-Kurru near Jebel Barkal in what is now Northern Sudan. Down a stairway of 19 steps opened to the east, the burial chamber is cut into the bedrock as an open trench and covered with a corbelled masonry roof. His body had been placed on a bed which rested in the middle of the chamber on a stone bench with its four corners cut away to receive the legs of the bed so that the bed platform lay directly on the bench. Further out to the edge of the cemetery (the first pharaoh to receive such an entombment in more than 500 years) his four favorite horses had been buried. This site would be also occupied by the tombs of several later members of the dynasty.

paragraph: Neil Carlill

paragraph: Neil Carlill (born 20 March 1967 in Ripon, England), is an English singer, lyricist, poet, composer, and musician. He is known for his work with experimental and alternative rock bands including 1990s UK acts Delicatessen and Lodger, and more recently with bands and collaborations including Vedette, Shoosh, 5 Little Elephants, Me Me the Moth, Chicanery, and Three on a Match. His lyrics reflect the influence of DaDa and James Joyce, and his voice has a unique, multifaceted, "strangely alluring" character.

paragraph: Carlill founded the group Delicatessen in Leicester, England in 1993, and joined the British supergroup Lodger in 1998. Both groups charted in the UK, with Lodger's single, "I'm Leaving", charting in the top 40. Lodger disbanded after one album, 1998's "A Walk in the Park". Delicatessen, having released three critically acclaimed albums, broke up in late 2002.

paragraph: During the late 1990s, Carlill also contributed to TV Mania, a side project of Duran Duran members Nick Rhodes and Warren Cuccurullo.

paragraph: Having relocated to the United States in 2000, Neil Carlill temporarily slowed his musical output until, in 2004, he resumed working with Warren Cuccurullo, this time on the eponymous debut album from the project titled Chicanery. During this period he also founded the bands Vedette, Shoosh, 5 Little Elephants, Me Me the Moth, and Three on a Match through collaborations with numerous musicians in the US and Europe.

paragraph: He has also developed a solo project dubbed Airport Studies, and performs live under the pseudonym Harvey Mapcase. As Airport Studies, Carlill contributed a song for the Fire Records James Joyce Tribute album, "Chamber Music (James Joyce)". Under his own name Carlill was a featured vocalist on "Lost-Wax" (2008 Plush) by Lena and the Floating Roots Orchestra. Some of Neil Carlill's written work was also published in 2007 in Galleon (Volume 1, Number 1), a literary journal that features adventurous short fiction.

paragraph: Section::::Delicatessen.

paragraph: Delicatessen was formed by Neil Carlill (vocals, guitar, keyboards), Craig Bown (guitar, flute), Pete Capewell (bass) and Stuart Dayman (drums), taking their moniker from the 1991 French film. They started in Leicester, England in 1993 and while playing shows in London they were spotted by manager Tony Beard, and soon started to garner support from the Melody Maker and much of the UK music press. After signing to Starfish Records, the Indie offshoot of Jazz Summers' Big Life Publishing, their debut single "Inviting Both Sisters Out To Dinner" was released in October 1994, followed by the single "C.F. Kane" in April 1995. In a Melody Maker review of "C.F. Kane", the reviewer placed Delicatessen in the class of bands that were "influenced by good books or good films, rather than just their late-Sixties record collections." Subsequently, their single, "I'm Just Alive" charted. Delicatessen also created the soundtrack to the Independent short film "George and Ramona" (starring Emily Dux and Gary Lydon, written by David Hill and Mika Kallwass) that was released in 1995.

paragraph: The first album, "Skin Touching Water", was released to stellar reviews in May 1995. Melody Maker called the band "The salvation of pop music". Early in 1995, bassist Pete Capewell left and was replaced by the multi-instrumentalist Will Foster. That summer saw Delicatessen headlining the 3rd stage at Reading Festival, and the addition of Jonny Wood on keyboards, percussion, backing vocals, and violin. With their live band complete, they toured in the Netherlands, Germany and France, and were featured at the Phoenix Festival in 1995. The second album "Hustle into Bed", characterised as a darker, more orchestral work, was issued in 1996, produced by longtime Nick Cave and the Bad Seeds and The Birthday Party producer/engineer Tony Cohen. After a great deal more touring there was a brief hiatus in which the Lodger 'supergroup' came about, and then Delicatessen reappeared in early 1998 with a new label, Viper Records, and a third album, "There's No Confusing Some People". Carlill and Foster then continued with the Lodger project for the rest of 1998. Following Lodger's split, Carlill emigrated to the US, and despite attempts by him, Bown, and Dayman to keep recording, Delicatessen finally called it quits late in 2002.

paragraph: Delicatessen recorded two sessions for John Peel's BBC Radio 1 show, both in 1995. The first was a four track studio session and the second six tracks recorded at the Reading Festival.

paragraph: Section::::Lodger.

paragraph: After the completion of Delicatessen's second album, Neil Carlill and Will Foster joined forces with Pearl Lowe, who had fronted the Britpop band Powder, and Danny Goffey of Supergrass to form one of the most noteworthy of Britpop superbands, Lodger.

paragraph: Signed to Island Records, Lodger released a 3 track single in 1997. Its a-side, "I'm Leaving", received heavy radio exposure nationally, and the single entered the UK pop charts in the top 40. Sometime thereafter came the album "A Walk in the Park". From that album, "Always Round Here" and "Small Change" also charted. The videos produced for "I'm Leaving" and the subsequent singles were highly praised in the media for their humour and originality. It is for these same qualities that Lodger's "A Walk in the Park" is considered an important release for 1990's British music.

paragraph: Lodger toured the UK in 1998 and played at that summer's Reading Festival.

paragraph: Section::::Vedette.

paragraph: Vedette began life in Los Angeles at the end of the Chicanery recordings, during which Carlill made the acquaintance of electronic artist Manuel Stagars. The pair conceived an album of bizarre musical sketches derived from ambient recordings of Stagars, which were cut to song length with Carlill adding inspired vocal concoctions laced with surrealist touches and evocatively weird lyrics. Warren Cuccurullo also contributed his singular guitar stylings to several tracks, and Carlill played ukulele and keyboards on select songs.

paragraph: Vedette's self-titled debut album was released on the Stilll label (Belgium) in 2007.

paragraph: jayrope joined Vedette in 2008 for a series of concerts in Germany which culminated in an appearance at the Donau Musical Festival in Austria.

paragraph: More European shows followed in 2009 with the highlight being their talked-about performance at the Klangbad Festival in Scheer, Germany, with the pared-down line-up of Carlill and jayrope. Recording of the second album is in progress.

paragraph: Section::::5 Little Elephants.

paragraph: Carlill teamed up with French musician Charles-Eric Charrier for two albums recorded in 2007 and 2009.

paragraph: The first album is a collection of voice, percussion and noise using acoustic guitar to produce an otherworldly collection of folk abstraction.

paragraph: The second album is one forty-seven-minute song, featuring an epic narrative written and sung by Carlill.

paragraph: 5 Little Elephants' music has been referred to as unconventional hybrid pop with an intimate and beautiful mature, poetic scope. Both albums are being prepared for release.

paragraph: Section::::Shoosh.

paragraph: In 2007, Neil Carlill joined Ed Drury (guitars) and Craig Murphy (synthesizers) to become the third member of Shoosh. Drury and Murphy were impressed with both Carlill's lyric writing style and his vocal delivery. The project pairs folk influenced ambient music with Carlill's Dadaist lyrics and his "unique, other-worldly vocal style."

paragraph: Shoosh contributed two tracks to a split album with another group, Cheju, in November 2007. The album, titled "Cheju & Shoosh" was released on the Awkward Silence label with a limited edition run of 300 CDs. Subsequently, the three released the album "Orphem Circuit" in 2008. An Igloo Magazine review described that album as "a sweltering sheet of low flying beauty," and an "Is This Music?" review explained the music as, "Soundscapes of uncomfortable beauty Pulses Dadaist in theory and practice..."

paragraph: Section::::Chicanery.

paragraph: The history of Chicanery extends back to the late 1990s in London, England.

paragraph: During his long stint as guitarist for Duran Duran, Warren Cuccurullo conceived a side project called TV Mania with bandmate Nick Rhodes. The duo were searching for a lead vocalist to front the endeavour when, while working in the studio, they heard the voice of Neil Carlill, lead singer of the group Delicatessen, emanating from the television, on which one of that band's music videos was being broadcast. Cuccurullo found Carlill through the group's record label, and invited him to record with them at the studio.

paragraph: TV Mania was not commercially released at that time, but that meeting marked the beginning of a long-standing and currently active collaboration between Neil and Warren.

paragraph: When Cuccurullo relocated to Los Angeles after his time with Duran Duran ended in 2001, he reestablished contact with Carlill and exchanged with him demos of their latest music. With each deriving great inspiration from the other's work, and seeing the potential for a brilliant album, the two men met up in LA for the sessions that would result in "Chicanery", the album.

paragraph: The bulk of the tracks on the debut album were cut in Los Angeles' Red Rum Studios in 2005, while some of the music was done back in Massachusetts. A portion of the material Cuccurullo had recorded with Ustad Sultan Khan back in 1998 was used on one track, "Cut Me from the Mirror". Often, tracks would be recorded at respective home studios and conveyed to producer Simone Sello, before moving on to yet another, larger studio for post-recording and mixing to perfect the finished product. "Chicanery", an energetic, diverse and somewhat genre-busting collection of Avant Guard pop tunes, was released 11 May 2010.

paragraph: Carlill credits this period with the advent of some of his finest songwriting efforts to date, which are evidenced on the "Chicanery" tracks "Midnight Owls", "Hit the Wall", "IOD", and "Luminal Dark".

paragraph: Section::::Me Me the Moth.

paragraph: This project is a collaboration between Carlill and musician/artist Marcelo Radulovich, who had previously worked with David J and Mike Keneally among others. Their self-produced debut album "The Weirding Valley" contains fourteen songs constructed at long distance via the internet. Again, with tracks recorded by Neil in Salem, MA, and Marcelo in Cardiff, CA, the process involved the exchanging of sound files, which were subsequently united at Radulovich's home studio.

paragraph: Taking inspiration from the best of the Fluxus movement, The Weirding Valley is described as a tapestry woven of DADA-esque sensibilities. Shades of Wire, Pere Ubu and Beefheart are apparent.

paragraph: The album was released in May 2010.

paragraph: Four videos were made by Radulovich for the songs "The Red Radio", "Hounds Are Sleepy", "In the Air Blind" and the album's title track "The Weirding Valley".

paragraph: Section::::Airport Studies and Harvey Mapcase.

paragraph: Carlill used the name Airport Studies for his track on the Fire Records James Joyce tribute album "Chamber Music (James Joyce)" in 2008. The tribute album draws upon James Joyce's collection of poems titled "Chamber Music", and sets all thirty six poems to music. Carlill selected Poem XI for his contribution and explained, "When I was asked to contribute to the Chamber Music album for Fire Records I was immediately drawn to Poem XI. The sexual conquest of a virgin is suggested in a bygone language of an earlier era that romantically evades the real facts of the matter. I tried to make the music slither a little, to pretend to sleaze but to support the almost polite nature of lines such as "Happy love has come to woo"." The track was produced by jayrope.

paragraph: Harvey Mapcase is a fake name Carlill uses for live solo shows.

paragraph: Section::::Three on a Match.

paragraph: Three on a Match is a songwriting project by Carlill, Jeff Mellin, and Jamal River, who uses the name King Toad. Having met in 1995, Carlill and Mellin shared an appreciation of old Hollywood movies and discussed collaborating on a project. The idea for their album came from a box set of Bette Davis films that Mellin owned. They selected Three on a Match, from the Bette Davis movie of that name, as the name of the album. Since there were three main characters associated with the superstition that was central to the movie's plot, Carlill and Mellin decided they needed a third contributor. Carlill recruited singer and songwriter King Toad.

paragraph: The album contains thirteen songs, all with their titles and inspiration from Bette Davis' filmography. The genre is categorised as alt/folk and acoustic pop with each of the members having written a set of songs for the album.

paragraph: The CD for Three on a Match was released on Stereorrific Recordings on 26 May 2011 at the Gulu Gulu Café in Salem, Massachusetts. The limited-edition CD designed by Mellin is packaged in a film canister-like container that houses the CD, a twenty eight-page booklet, and a set of "imagined movie stills" starring Niki Luparelli photographed by John Soares, and liner notes by Garrett Caples. The album was also released as custom Three on a Match matchboxes containing download codes. To commemorate Bette Davis' 103rd birthday, the album was pre-released via download on 5 April 2011. A music video by Mellin and Soares for one of Mellin's tracks, "Dark Victory", also starring Luparelli, was selected for Philadelphia Independent Film Festival.

paragraph: About writing the songs for the project Carlill said, "I really tried to evoke the themes and characters, and to echo how the films make me feel. Bette Davis has such an amazing screen presence, it feels very natural to write through her performances."

paragraph: Section::::Influences and artistic development.

paragraph: Neil Carlill is inspired by James Joyce, Captain Beefheart, Max Ernst, the DaDaists, Kurt Schwitters, Alfred Jarry, Hannah Höch, and Georges Perec.

paragraph: Concerning his writing lyrics, he has stated in one interview, "...it's a connection to the sub-conscious a side-stepping of the rational brain to let what's in you spiritually manifest itself in your creative medium. I mess with words as they come flying out of my brain uninvited. I think it's more like prose-poetry sometimes, hypertext, concentrated meaning in a seemingly abstract construction. It can be a little puzzling but there is a narrative but not in the literal sense we are used to... You have to absorb and translate..."; and in another, "...you have to make the words count, but the order in which you put them is the really fun time. It's all code, puzzles, concentrated meaning. It has a surreal coloring but it's much less random than you'd expect."

paragraph: About how his writing style has changed over the years, he has said, "...I began with a much more structured style of writing that fit the conventional pop song structure, I think within that structure you can create puzzles and language is a beautiful instrument to manipulate in this way. I have tried to move into more abstract , DADA territory with some of the later work, the meaning becomes coded like hypertext. The narrative is back to front or a zig-zag pattern of small movies. Tone Poet is a balance that can be achieved between narrative and nonsense, they're interchangeable and I really have no idea sometimes what is going to happen until I sing, it's instinctive mostly but occasionally the words are written down randomly and call to you in a sequence that fits."

paragraph: Paul Philémon Rastoul (1 October 1835; Thézan-lès-Béziers, Hérault - 1875) was a French physician best known for his role in the Paris Commune of 1871. Rastoul studied medicine in Montpellier from 1855 to 1862 and moved to Paris in 1863 where he began practicing. During the Paris Commune, Rastoul was elected to represent the 10th arrondissement at the Communal Council. He was put in charge of medical services in Paris. After the Commune, Rastoul was arrested and imprisoned in France before being deported to New Caledonia in 1873 where he was allowed to practice medicine and partially recover his liberty. Following the 1874 escape of a group including Henri Rochefort, Rastoul was sent to the Isle of Pines. In March 1875, Rastoul and nineteen others attempted to escape from the island on a raft but drowned.

paragraph: Reinhold von Buxhoeveden

paragraph: Reinhold von Buxhoeveden (died 1557) was bishop of the Bishopric of Saare-Lääne or Ösel–Wiek (; ; Low German: "Bisdom Ösel–Wiek"; contemporary ), a semi-independent Roman Catholic prince-bishopric in what is now Saare, Hiiu and Lääne counties of Estonia, from 1532 to 1541.

paragraph: He was the second member of the Buxhoeveden family to serve as bishop of Saare-Lääne. Buxhoeveden is believed to have been born in the early 1480s and matriculated into Rostock University in 1501. In 1506 he was awarded a Master of Arts ("magister artiumi") degree with canonical rights. He proceeded to prepare for a career in the religious ministry, and had the fortune of being accepted as a ministerial candidate in Rome. It is not known how long he was in Rome, but upon his departure he was named canon of Tartu and Saare-Lääne dioceses, and no later than 1519 he returned to Livonia. There he was named bishop of Tartu and became a close assistant to Johannes Blankenfeld, the future archbishop of Riga. On 13 November 1519 he was named archdeacon of the Saare-Lääne bishopric. In the following years he spent little time in Livonia, but rather became Blankenfeld’s ambassador to Pope Leo X. From 1520 on, he returned occasionally to Saaremaa and Tartu. In 1527, upon the death of Saare-Lääne bishop Johannes IV Kievel, Buxhoeveden should have gained enough influence to be named his successor. This however did not come to fruition, as he was tied politically to Blankenfeld who was suspected of wanting to cede Livonia to the Russians. Thus, Buxhoeveden remained archdeacon for three more years. On 18 October 1530 he was elected bishop by the Saare-Lääne chapter and knights, despite two votes against him by the Läänemaa vassalage. Emperor Charles V confirmed him as bishop in December 1531, and the Pope did so on 3 August 1532. However, before word of his confirmation reached Livonia, civil broke out in Saare-Lääne.

paragraph: During the Saare-Lääne civil war (1532–1536), Buxhoeveden had to compete with Wilhelm von Hohenzollern, the coadjutant of the archbishop of Riga, who had moved to the Läänemaa region. Buxhoeveden won out in the end, but at great financial cost, and commitments to the influential families in the Läänemaa vassalage. These factors led to many conflicts in the Saare-Lääne bishopric in the early 1540s.

paragraph: Buxhoeveden resigned from his position sometime before 13 July 1541. By this time, he had gained strong influence with the Livonian Order. With this influence he was able to get the bishop of Kuramaa, Johann von Münchhausen, appointed as his successor.

paragraph: Buxhoeveden died some time before 7 May 1557 at the bishop’s residence at Koluvere castle.

paragraph: Eunus

paragraph: Eunus (died 132 BC) was a Roman slave from Apamea in Syria who became the leader of the slave uprising in the First Servile War (135 BC–132 BC) in the Roman province of Sicily. Eunus rose to prominence in the movement through his reputation as a prophet and wonder-worker. He claimed to receive visions and communications from the goddess Atargatis, a prominent goddess in his homeland; he identified her with the Sicilian Demeter. Some of his prophecies were that the rebel slaves would successfully capture the city of Enna and that he would be a king some day.

paragraph: Section::::Sources.

paragraph: Most of the literary evidence for Eunus and the First Servile War comes from the writings of Diodorus Siculus, who used Posidonius as his primary source. Florus' "Epitome", which provides excerpts from lost portions of Livy, is the most detailed account in Latin. Both Diodorus and Posidonius were sympathetic to the Romans. Diodorus lived in Rome, and Cicero asked Posidonius to write an account of the former's consulate. Since Eunus was a defeated enemy of Rome, their accounts of both the slave uprising and its leader were likely biased. Like Eunus, Posidonius was from the Syrian town of Apamea. He likely based his details about Eunus' worship of Atargatis in his personal knowledge of the goddess's mendicant priests.

paragraph: Section::::Biography.

paragraph: Eunus originally belonged to a Greek man of Enna named Antigenes. He had the reputation to be an oracle who received visions from the gods both woken and asleep. Eunus was so well regarded for this that Antigenes would introduce him at his guests to divine their fortune. He was also said to blow fire from his mouth when possessed by his oracular trances, which he held as proof of his supernatural powers. However, at least Florus identified it as a fire eating act. According to him, Eunus hid a small, perforated nutshell containing burning material on his mouth, which he would blow through in order to emit fire and sparks.

paragraph: After the First Servile War started, Eunus placed himself in a leading role, claiming their revolt was backed by the gods. He participated in the storming of Enna, where Diodorus describes him standing in the front ranks of the assault, blowing fire from his mouth. Upon the capture of the city, Eunus crowned himself king. He subsequently took the name Antiochus, a name used by the Seleucids who ruled his homeland Syria, and he called his followers, who numbered in the tens of thousands, "Syrians". Eunus seems to have attempted to build a state independent of Rome, minting his own coins and evolving a command and supply structure capable of sustaining his forces in the field for long periods. Archaeologists have found a small bronze coin, minted at Enna, which bears the inscription "King Antiochus", this being likely Eunus. His armies took several other cities in central and eastern Sicily.

paragraph: He was successful in defeating Roman forces sent against him for several years. However, after the slave army was defeated by a Roman army under the leadership of Perperna, Eunus, with members of his "court", took refuge in a cavern, where he was subsequently captured. He was sent to prison, where he died of illness before he could be punished.

paragraph: Sekhemib-Perenmaat

paragraph: Sekhemib-Perenma'at (or simply Sekhemib), is the horus name of an early Egyptian king who ruled during the 2nd dynasty. Similar to his predecessor, successor or co-ruler Seth-Peribsen, Sekhemib is contemporarily well attested in archaeological records, but he does not appear in any posthumous document. The exact length of his reign is unknown and his burial site has yet to be found.

paragraph: Section::::Name sources.

paragraph: Sekhemib's name is known from seal impressions and from inscriptions on vessels made of alabaster and breccia. They were found in the entrance of Peribsen's tomb at Abydos, in the underground galleries beneath the step pyramid of (3rd dynasty) king Djoser at Sakkara and on one excavation site at Elephantine.

paragraph: Sekhemib's serekh name is unusual, because it is the first in Egyptian history that was extended by an epithet. Beside the first name, "Sekhem-ib", several seal impressions and stone vessel inscriptions show the epithet "Perenma'at" inside the serekh. Sekhemib used both name forms, the single horus name and the double name, at the same time. Egyptologists such as Herman te Velde and Wolfgang Helck think that the double name of Sekhemib came in use when the Egyptian state was split into two independent realms. It seems that Sekhemib tried to stress the peaceful political situation prevailing in Egypt at the time. An increased form of such a double name was created and used by a successor of Sekhemib, king Khasekhemwy. This king also used a double name and even placed Horus and Seth together as protective deities atop his serekh. Khasekhemwy had tried to express peace and reconciliation between Upper- and Lower Egypt with his unusual serekh, too.

paragraph: Section::::Identity.

paragraph: The historical figure of Sekhemib is the subject of investigation and discussions by Egyptologists and historians to this day. The contradictory findings allow room for plenty of interpretations and theories.

paragraph: Egyptologists such as Walter Bryan Emery, Kathryn A. Bard and Flinders Petrie believe that Sekhemib was the same person as king Peribsen, a ruler who had connected his name with the deity Seth and who possibly ruled only Upper Egypt. Emery, Bard and Petrie point to several clay seals that were found in the tomb entrance of Peribsen's necropolis. Sekhemib's tomb has not yet been found.

paragraph: In contrast, Egyptologists such as Hermann Alexander Schlögl, Wolfgang Helck, Peter Kaplony and Jochem Kahl believe that Sekhemib was a different ruler to Peribsen. They point out that the clay seals were only found at the entrance area of Peribsen's tomb and that none of them ever shows Peribsen and Sekhemib's names together in one inscription. They compare the findings with the ivory tablets of king Hotepsekhemwy found at the entrance of king Qaa's tomb. Therefore, Schlögl, Helck, Kaplony and Kahl are convinced that Sekhemib's seals are merely proof that Sekhemib buried Peribsen.

paragraph: Egyptologists such as Toby Wilkinson and Helck believe that Sekhemib and Peribsen could have been related. Their theory is based on the stone vessel inscriptions and seal impressions that show strong similarities in their typographical and grammatical writing styles. The vessels of Peribsen for example show the notation "ini-setjet" ("tribute of the people of Sethroë"), whilst Sekhemib's inscriptions note "ini-chasut" ("tribute of the desert nomads"). A further indication for a relationship between Peribsen and Sekhemib is the serekh-name of both, as they both use the syllables "per" and "ib" in their names.

paragraph: Egyptologists such as Helck identify Sekhemib with the ramesside cartouche name “Wadjenes” and equate Peribsen with a king named Senedj. Egyptologist Dietrich Wildung thinks alike and identifies Sekhemib with the nebty name Weneg-Nebty and Peribsen with Senedj.

paragraph: Section::::Reign.

paragraph: There seems to be archaeological evidence that Sekhemib ruled only in Upper Egypt. His realm would have extended down from Ombos up to the Isle of Elephantine, where a new administrative centre called "The white house of treasury" was founded under Peribsen. It remains the subject of discussion by Egyptologists and historians as to if, why and when it was decided to split the state.

paragraph: Section::::Reign.:Proponents of the divided-realm-theory.

paragraph: Egyptologists such as Wolfgang Helck, Nicolas Grimal, Hermann Alexander Schlögl and Francesco Tiradritti believe that king Ninetjer, the third ruler of 2nd dynasty and a predecessor of Peribsen, left a realm that was suffering from an overly complex state administration and that Ninetjer decided to split Egypt between his two sons (or, at least, his two successors), in the hope that the two rulers could better administer the two states. Since the artefacts surviving from his lifetime seem to prove that he and his contemporary Peribsen ruled only in Upper Egypt, it is the subject of investigation as to who ruled in Lower Egypt at that time. The Ramesside king lists differ in their succession of royal names from king Senedj onward. A reason may be that the royal table of Saqqara and the royal canon of Turin reflect Memphite traditions, which allow Memphite rulers to be mentioned. The Abydos king list instead reflects Thinite traditions and therefore only Thinite rulers appear on that list. Until king Senedj, all posthumous king lists accord with each other. After him, the Saqqara list and the Turin list mention three kings as successors: Neferkara I, Neferkasokar and Hudjefa I. The Abydos king list skips these kings and jumps forward to Khasekhemwy, calling him “Djadjay”. The discrepancies are considered by Egyptologists to be the result of the partition of the Egyptian state during the 2nd Dynasty.

paragraph: A further problem is the Horus names and Nebty names of different kings in inscriptions found in the Great Southern Gallery in the necropolis of (3rd Dynasty) king Djoser at Saqqara. Stone vessel inscriptions mention kings such as Nubnefer, Weneg-Nebty, Horus Ba, Horus "Bird" and Za, but each of these kings is mentioned only a few times, which suggests to Egyptologists that each of these kings did not rule very long. King Sneferka might be identical with king Qa'a or an ephemeral successor of his. King Weneg-Nebty might be identical with the Ramesside cartouche name Wadjenes. But kings such as "Nubnefer", "Bird" and "Za" remain a mystery. They never appear anywhere else in the historical record other than at Saqqara where the number of objects surviving from their lifetimes is very limited. Schlögl, Helck and Peter Kaplony postulate that Nubnefer, Za and Bird were the corresponding rulers to Peribsen and Sekhemib and ruled in Lower Egypt, whilst the latter two ruled Upper Egypt.

paragraph: In contrast, Egyptologists such as Barbara Bell believe that an economic catastrophe such as a famine or a long-lasting drought affected Egypt at that time. To help solve the problems of feeding the Egyptian population, Ninetjer split the realm and his successors ruled two independent realms until the famine was successfully brought to an end. Bell points to the inscriptions of the Palermo stone, where, in her opinion, the records of the Nile floods show consistently low levels.

paragraph: The administrative titles of the scribes, seal-bearers and overseers were adjusted to the new political situation. For example, titles like "sealer of the king" were changed into "sealer of the king of Upper Egypt". The administration system since the time of Peribsen and Sekhemib shows a clear and well identified hierarchy; an example: Treasury house → pension office → property → vine yards → private vine yard. King Khasekhemwy, the last ruler of 2nd Dynasty, was able to re-unify the state administration of Egypt and therefore unite the whole of Ancient Egypt. He brought the two treasury houses of Egypt under the control of the "House of the King", bringing them into a new, single administration center.

paragraph: Section::::Reign.:Opponents of the divided-realm-theory.

paragraph: Other Egyptologists, such as Michael Rice, Francesco Tiradritti and Wolfgang Helck, believe that there was no division of the Egyptian thrones and that Sekhemib and Peribsen were each sole and independent rulers. The suspected division may have been of a mere bureaucratic nature, including changes in the titles of high-ranking officials. It is possible, that king Nynetjer (or Peribsen) decided to split the whole bureaucracy of Egypt into two separate departments in an attempt to reduce the power of the officials. Such an act was not surprising and occurred several times in Egyptian history, especially in later dynasties. The scholars also point to the once palatial and well preserved mastaba tombs at Saqqara and Abydos belonging to high officials such as Ruaben and Nefer-Setekh. These are all dated from the reign of Nynetjer to that of Khasekhemwy, the last ruler of the Second Dynasty. Egyptologists consider the archaeological record of the mastabas' condition and the original architecture as proof that the statewide mortuary cults for kings and noblemen successfully operated during the entire dynasty. If true, their preservation is inconsistent with the theory of civil wars and economic problems during Peribsen's reign. Rice, Tiradritti and Helck think that Nynetjer decided to leave a divided realm because of private or political reasons and that the split was a formality sustained by Second Dynasty kings.

paragraph: Scholars such as Herman TeVelde, I. E. S. Edwards and Toby Wilkinson believe the inscription of the famous "Annal stone of Fifth Dynasty", a black olivine-basalt slabstone displaying a very detailed king list, also argues against the division of the realm. On the stone, the kings are listed by their Horus name, their gold name, their cartouche name, and, finally, with the name of their royal mother. The lists also contain rectangular windows presenting year events from the day of the king's coronation to his death. The most famous fragments of the Annal stone are called the "Palermo Stone" and the "Cairo Stone". On the Cairo stone, in line IV, the last nine years of king Nynetjer are preserved (but most of the year windows are illegible now). The Annal stone however, gives absolutely no indication of a division of the Egyptian realm. Barta, TeVelde, Wilkinson and Edwards argue that the theory of state division is untenable. A mere administrative reorganization of the bureaucracy or a split in the priesthood sects seems more likely.

paragraph: Bell's theory of a famine or drought is refuted today by Egyptologists such as Stephan Seidlmayer, who corrected Bell's calculations. Seidlmayer has shown that the annual Nile flood was normal during Ninetjer's time up to the period of the Old Kingdom. Bell may have overlooked that the height of the Nile floods in the Palermo stone inscriptions only takes into account the measurements of the nilometers around Memphis, and not elsewhere along the river. Any long-lasting drought at that time can therefore be excluded.

paragraph: Three officials from Sekhemib´s reign are known to Egyptologists by seal impressions: Nebhotep, Inykhnum and Maapermin. However, Inykhnum might also have held office in later times, under kings such as Djoser and Sanakht.

paragraph: Section::::Tomb.

paragraph: The location of Sekhemib's tomb is unknown. If he was actually the same person as Peribsen, he was buried in tomb P at Abydos. If not, his burial site may be located at Saqqara.

His acting career was interrupted by his service as a squadron leader in the Royal Canadian Air Force during World War II. He played Bob Trubshawe in Powell and Pressburger's "A Matter of Life and Death" (1946), chosen for the first-ever Royal Film Performance on 1 November 1946, before he returned to Hollywood, where his films included "The Ghost and Mrs. Muir" (1947), "Forever Amber" (1947), "The Three Musketeers" (1948), and Orson Welles' "Othello" (1952).

paragraph: In 1956, Coote created the role of Colonel Pickering in the original Broadway production of "My Fair Lady" (1956–62), which he reprised in the musical's 1976–77 Broadway revival. He also originated the role of King Pellinore in the Broadway production of "Camelot" (1960–63). He was nominated for an Emmy Award for his performance as Timmy St. Clair in the NBC TV series "The Rogues" (1964–65).

paragraph: Wenceslas Pantaleon Kirwitzer

paragraph: Wenceslas Pantaleon Kirwitzer (1588, Kadaň; 1626, Macau) was an astronomer and a Jesuit missionary. His name in China was Qi Weicai (祁維材).

paragraph: Section::::Life.

paragraph: Kirwitzer was born in Kadaň (Germ. "Kaaden"), Bohemia (present-day Czech Republic) to a protestant family descended from the village of Krbice (Germ. "Kürbitz") so his surname was derived from ""Kürbitzer"". He converted to "Catholicism" as a youth and started studying Jesuit Academy in Olomouc (after "Charles University" in Prague the second oldest university in the Czech lands established by Bishop Vilém Prusinovský z Víckova). He attracted attention of his professors for his talent especially for natural science. In 1606 he became a novice at Jesuits in Brno. After a short time he was called up to Rome to be embodied in the Collegium Romanum. He was a member of this College in the time when Galileo Galilei was in Rome (1611) to state his case in the question of Heliocentric and Ptolemaic systems. The Roman College was then open to the Copernican opinion held by Galileo. After a short career as a Professor of Mathematics in Graz and later in Coimbra, Portugal Kirwitzer leaves with other brothers (among them Nicolas Trigault) for China as a missionary. Their ship "San Carlos" or "Bom Jesus" arrived in Goa, India, in October 1618. Only 8 brothers out of 22 survived the journey, among them Johann Adam Schall von Bell aus Köln and Johann Schreck. After some time in Goa he moved on to China and finally to Macau where he died on May 22, 1626 (other sources consider Kyoto /then called "Meaco"/ as the place of his death). He didn't stop being interested in astronomy, he kept in touch with Johann Adam Schall von Bell, a German Jesuit that was preparing the reform of the Chinese calendar and later became president of the Astronomical Office in Beijing. His observations of comets were published in "Observationes cometarum anni 1618 factæ in India Orientali a quibusdam S. J. mathematicis in Sinense regnum navigantibus" in Aschaffenburg in 1620. Other works include "Literae de Martyrio p. Joannis Bapt. Machadi soc. Jesu, qui anno 1617 in Japonia passus est" (1622) and "Annuae litterae e Sinis datae Macao 28. Nov. et 27. Oct. 1625".

paragraph: Section::::Heliocentric opinion.

paragraph: The exact opinions of Wenceslas Pantaleon Kirwitzer on the topic of heliocentric system are dubious. He never wrote about it in China. He was considered Copernican by his contemporaries, though. For further reading on this topic: Copernicus in China

paragraph: Section::::Kirwitzer Day.

paragraph: In honour of W.P. Kirwitzer there are annual Kirwitzer Days organized in Kadaň, the astronomer's birthplace. The event is dedicated to the dialogue between natural sciences and theological and philosophical systems.
