paragraph: Charles Calvert (painter)

paragraph: Charles Calvert (1785–1852) was an English landscape-painter.

paragraph: Section::::Life.

paragraph: Calvert was born at Glossop Hall in Derbyshire, on 23 September 1785, the eldest son of another Charles Calvert, agent of the Duke of Norfolk's estate and an amateur painter (see below). He was apprenticed to the cotton trade, and began business as a cotton merchant in Manchester, but abandoned commerce for art and became a landscape painter.

paragraph: He was one of those instrumental in the foundation of the Manchester Royal Institution (now the Manchester City Art Gallery), and he was awarded the Heywood gold medal for a landscape in oil, and the Heywood silver medal for a landscape in watercolour. Much of his time was necessarily devoted to teaching, but all the moments that could be spared from it were passed in the Lake District. Even in his later years, when confined to his bed by failing health, he occupied himself in recording his reminiscences of natural beauty.

paragraph: He died at Bowness-on-Windermere, Westmoreland, on 26 February 1852, and was buried there.

paragraph: Section::::Family.

paragraph: Calvert's father, Charles Calvert the elder, was an amateur. He was born in 1754 ; died on 13 June 1797, and is buried in St. Mary's churchyard, Manchester. He lived in Oldham Street, Manchester during the winter and at Glossop Hall in the summer. Charles the elder's younger brother, Raisley Calvert, who died in 1794, was a sculptor, and is well known as the friend and admirer of William Wordsworth, to whom he bequeathed £900. Raisley had been to Cambridge University with Wordsworth, and the poet looked after Raisley on his deathbed as he died of consumption. Other sons of Charles Calvert the elder were Frederick Baltimore Calvert, Henry Calvert and Michael Pease Calvert who were all painters. Michael was the youngest of nine children and was born on 15 March 1798 in Derbyshire, nine months after his father's death.

paragraph: “Calvert! It must not be unheard by them

paragraph: Who may respect my name, that I to thee

paragraph: Owed many years of early liberty.

paragraph: This care was thine when sickness did condemn

paragraph: Thy youth to hopeless wasting, root and stem."

paragraph: Martyn Finlay

paragraph: Allan "Martyn" Finlay (1 January 1912 – 20 January 1999) was a New Zealand lawyer and politician of the Labour Party.

paragraph: Section::::Biography.

paragraph: Section::::Biography.:Early life.

paragraph: Martyn was born in Dunedin to Baptist missionaries who had worked in India. His father died when he was two and his mother was forced by economic circumstances to take in boarders. He used to push his brother Harold, ten years older and with polio, two miles to Otago University in his wheelchair. With the oncoming depression, Martyn had to leave school to get a job at the end of fifth form - he had wanted to be a doctor. With a job as an office boy in a law firm at the age of 16, he was able to study law part-time at Otago University for eight years before getting his LLM with First Class Honours.

paragraph: He got a scholarship to the London School of Economics and got a PhD in 1938 before becoming a Resident Fellow at Harvard. He returned to NZ in 1939 and was employed as a private secretary to Cabinet Ministers Rex Mason and Arnold Nordmeyer.

paragraph: Section::::Biography.:Political career.

paragraph: Martyn Finlay stood unsuccessfully for Remuera in 1943. He then represented the North Shore electorate from 1946 to 1949, when he was defeated. Later he represented the Waitakere electorate from 1963 to 1969, then the Henderson electorate from 1969 to 1978, when he retired.

paragraph: Section::::Biography.:Vietnam War.

paragraph: Martyn Finlay was also one of the Labour Party's most active opponents of New Zealand's military involvement in the Vietnam War and questioned the New Zealand government's support for South Vietnam. In 1964, he argued during a parliamentary speech that the Viet Cong were the only effective opposition in South Vietnam, but still accepted the general consensus within New Zealand government circles that the Viet Cong were being supported by North Vietnam and the People's Republic of China. On 6 June 1965, Finlay chaired an anti-war meeting in Auckland which was sponsored by the Auckland Trades Council, the Auckland Labour Representation Committee, and the Auckland Peace For Vietnam Committee (PFVC). A prominent speaker at that meeting was the trade unionist Jim Knox. He also participated in a teach-in at the University of Auckland on 12 September 1966, which drew about 600 people.

paragraph: During a Labour Party conference in 1966, Martyn Finlay, at the instigation of the Labour Party leader and future Prime Minister Norman Kirk, proposed an amendment which advocated replacing New Zealand's artillery battery with a non-combatant force. Despite his opposition to the Vietnam War, Finlay argued that New Zealand troops should not be withdrawn from Vietnam too quickly to avoid interfering with the Paris peace talks in 1969. When the United States Vice President Spiro Agnew visited the capital Wellington in mid-January 1970, Finlay along with several other Labour Members of Parliament including Arthur Faulkner, Jonathan Hunt, and Bob Tizard boycotted the state dinner to protest American policy in Vietnam. However, other Labour MPs including the Opposition Leader Norman Kirk attended the function which dealt with the Nixon Doctrine. Later, he lost a notable TV debate (on the NZBC's "Gallery" programme) against Robert Muldoon.

paragraph: Section::::Biography.:Cabinet Minister.

paragraph: Finlay was a Cabinet Minister, and was the Attorney-General and Minister of Justice from 1972 to 1975 and Minister of Civil Aviation and Meteorological Services from 1973 to 1975 in the Third Labour Government. He was President of the Labour Party from 1960 to 1964.

paragraph: He was made a Queen's Counsel (QC) in 1973.

paragraph: Section::::Personal views.

paragraph: Michael Bassett has said Finlay was "essentially a man of peace throughout his life" who "found Peter Fraser’s crusade to introduce Compulsory Military Training personally distasteful."

paragraph: Bassett also said: "To his dying day Finlay was an opponent of capital punishment, a cause to which he added divorce law reform (his own divorce in the 1950s was particularly fraught), homosexual, and abortion law reform. Finlay’s reputation as an advanced liberal on social issues attracted the support of younger party idealists as much as it repelled Labour’s more conservative wing, especially Catholics. Finlay’s marital complications irked the puritanical Walter Nash, who did nothing to advance his return to Parliament, and seems not to have welcomed his election as party president in 1960."

paragraph: Section::::Death.

paragraph: Martyn died at the age of 87. Christine Cole Catley says: "He wrote two most moving letters to his wife, a year apart. She read them for the first time after he died ... He wrote of what he saw as his degeneration and his fear of becoming a burden on her and others. ... Two days later he ended his life." (Fairburn and friends / edited by Dinah Holman and Christine Cole Catley, Devonport, North Shore City : Cape Catley Ltd., 2004. p. 204)

paragraph: Edmund Bacon (1785–1866)

paragraph: Edmund Bacon (1785–1866), was the business manager and primary overseer for 20 years for Thomas Jefferson, third President of the United States, at Monticello. Among some of his other business duties, Bacon supervised the daily chores and activities of farming and ranching at Monticello along with Jefferson's nail forge. His duties included supervising and providing supplies and other needs for Jefferson's slaves. When he retired, Bacon moved to Kentucky and was discovered by the author Rev. Hamilton Pierson, who made use of his memoirs and letters to write a book about Jefferson's personal life and character. The memoirs of Bacon's life at Monticello has given much insight into the daily activities there, as well as into Jefferson's life and personality.

paragraph: Section::::Biography.

paragraph: Edmund Bacon was born March 28, 1785, within a couple of miles of Monticello. He recalled memories of "Mr. Jefferson" as far back as he could remember. Bacon's father and Jefferson were raised together and attended the same school during their youth. His older brother William was in charge of Monticello during the four years Jefferson was away overseas as Minister to France. When Jefferson became President, he inquired of Bacon's father if William was again interested in being overseer at Monticello, but, being older and involved in other pursuits the offer no longer appealed to his as it once did. Jefferson knew that the senior Bacon's sons were all industrious and hard workers and so, in spite of Edmund's youth, Jefferson offered him the job, which the young Edmund gladly accepted.

paragraph: Section::::Biography.:Overseer.

paragraph: Bacon became Jefferson's primary overseer and business manager, working at Monticello beginning September 29, 1806 until 1822. He lived with his family in a modest house near the base of Monticello mountain. The home was close to Jefferson's nail forge (called a "nailry") and several cabins belonging to slave families, all situated along a carriage road approximately a mile down the same road that passed along the Monticello estate and plantation grounds.

paragraph: Bacon was a meticulous, frugal and punctual overseer, and kept a close watch over the daily activities at Monticello. At times he would even politely challenge Jefferson's instructions or advice as to how various activities and business should be conducted. When guests came to stay he looked after their needs and took care of fed their horses. He was once scolded by Jefferson because he was rationing feed for their horses trying to cut costs. During the entire time Bacon was in Jefferson's employ, he had permission to contact Jefferson at any time, even in his sleeping quarters if business required. However, Bacon in an interview claimed that in the twenty years of his employment, he only twice had to disturb Jefferson after he retired for the evening.

paragraph: Aside from his pay, Bacon as an overseer was given an allowance of provisions for a year which included six hundred pounds of pork, two barrels of wheat flour and all the corn meal he wanted. He also had his own vegetable garden on the grounds that he maintained during his free time.

paragraph: When Jefferson retired in 1809 he had accumulated many possessions while in Washington, which included a huge collection of books. Organizing and packing these things was a great task. Jefferson summoned Bacon to come to Washington with two servants to help him pack, load and supervise the transport of these things back to Monticello. Together they loaded about thirty crates which would be sent back to Monticello by water. The remaining items were loaded into three wagons which Bacon brought up from Monticello and along with the servants drove them back to Jefferson's estate, departing Washington on March ninth or tenth. Jefferson followed him on Saturday, the eleventh. Bacon later recalled the event in his memoirs.

paragraph: After a five-day ride through snow Jefferson arrived home at Monticello on March 15.

paragraph: While working for Jefferson over the years Bacon saved numerous letters and other documents in Jefferson's own handwriting, giving him directions how to manage the farm, grounds, garden, livestock of different kinds, and all the various matters connected with daily activity at Monticello. He also wrote many memoirs regarding these things, which he also saved. Historians have use Bacon's memoirs, records and letters to discern the daily activities at Monticello, as well as Jefferson's personal life and character. They show that Jefferson began to lose interest in farming after he returned from his ambassadorship to France, and that when he retired in 1794, his agricultural pursuits almost ceased completely. During this period, Bacon's memoirs record Jefferson's attention to semi-industrial activities, like the production in his nailry, building a new threshing machine, constructing a flour mill and digging a canal at the Rivanna River.

paragraph: Section::::Biography.:Relationship with slaves.

paragraph: Bacon's memoirs of his employment at Monticello produced many insights into Jefferson's relationship and treatment of his slaves. One of the most definitive examples occurred in 1807, when Bacon discovered a large quantity of nails missing when he went to fill a customer's order. All sizes of nails were in full quantity in the stock bins except one, which was completely empty. Bacon assumed one of the slaves who worked there, a James Hubbard, had stolen them, and discovered the lot of nails buried in a box in the woods not far from the nailry, as Bacon discussed:

paragraph: Bacon's memoirs and eye witness testimony to Reverend Pierson regarding Sally Hemings by many accounts cast considerable doubt on the theory that all of her children were fathered by Thomas Jefferson. In all the years Bacon worked there, he never saw the two of them together in any capacity that would suggest a sexual liaison, and on several occasions witnessed another man leaving Sally's room early in the morning. In an interview Bacon maintains:

paragraph: Section::::Biography.:University of Virginia.

paragraph: Bacon assisted Jefferson in the first stages of planning and building the University of Virginia. Jefferson initially sent Bacon to examine the three different proposed sites and to obtain the asking prices of each in writing, seal them up in an envelope and return them to him promptly. The property selected was "a poor old turned out field, though it was finely situated", a 40-acre plot in Charlottesville that once belonged to James Monroe who had sold it just before assuming the Presidency, now owned by John M. Perry who sold the plot at $12 per acre. Jefferson then told Bacon to get ten able bodied hands. Once the workman were selected, Bacon and Jefferson walked about and examined the grounds, after which Jefferson drove the first stake into the ground, and both began to plot off the perimeter of the soon to be University building using a large ball of twine.

paragraph: Section::::Biography.:After Monticello.

paragraph: When Bacon retired from his service at Monticello, he moved to Kentucky, as did many Virginians during the 1820s. In 1823 he purchased a farm in Trigg County with his savings. In later years, Bacon lent Jefferson money when he (Jefferson) was trying to manage his debts. He also loaned money to James Monroe.

paragraph: Later, during the 1860s, Reverend Hamilton W. Pierson, then president of Cumberland College in Princeton, Kentucky, learned of Bacon's presence nearby. Bacon was then seventy five years old, so Pierson made several visits to Bacon's home and recorded his oral history, as well as reviewed the enormous collection of records and letters Bacon had saved over the years while working as an overseer and business manager for Jefferson at Monticello. Rev. Pierson used "a large mass of letters and other documents" in Jefferson's own handwriting, outlining instructions for his management of the various affairs at Monticello, as well as Bacon's remembrances and records in his book "Jefferson at Monticello. The Private Life of Thomas Jefferson", although he noted that Bacon had not have many other artifacts.

paragraph: Edmund Bacon died in 1866 at the age of 81 and is buried in Trigg county.

paragraph: Moshe Weinberg

paragraph: Moshe Weinberg (sometimes Weinberger; 19 September 1939 – 5 September 1972) was the coach of the Israeli international wrestling team as well as being the coach of Hapoel Tel Aviv. He was the Israeli youth champion in wrestling and also the adult champion for a period of 8 years.

paragraph: He began his career in Hapoel Haifa, later becoming a certified coach at the Wingate Institute. In his capacity as national wrestling coach, he was sent to the 1972 Summer Olympics at Munich. He was among eleven Israeli team members who were killed by Palestinian terrorists in what is known as "the Munich massacre".

paragraph: Section::::Death.

paragraph: In the early morning hours of 5 September 1972, eight members of Black September entered the Olympic Village, Munich and broke into apartment 1 at Connollystraße 31, which housed five coaches and two referees of the Israeli Olympic team. As the terrorists broke into the apartment, Weinberg was confronted by the group's leader, Luttif Afif, whose own mother was Jewish and whose father was a wealthy Christian Arab businessman from Nazareth, in a nearby bedroom. Weinberg picked up a nearby fruit knife and was shot through his cheek after slashing Afif, slicing his left breast pocket open but not reaching through to the flesh.

paragraph: The wounded Weinberg was ordered by the terrorists at gunpoint to show them where the Israelis were. Weinberg led the terrorists past Apartment 2, which housed the fencers, shooters and track athletes, and instead took them to Apartment 3, which housed Israel's weightlifters and wrestlers.

paragraph: However, taken by surprise, the six athletes of Apartment 3 were captured by the terrorists. While the hostages were being marched back to the officials' apartment, Weinberg once again attacked the intruders, knocking one of them, Mohammed Safady, unconscious and allowing one of his wrestlers, Gad Tsobari, to escape via an underground parking garage. The terrorists fatally shot Weinberg, then threw his body into the street. In moving the hostages to the coaches' apartment, the terrorists killed weightlifter Yossef Romano after he attempted to resist the terrorists. The nine remaining hostages were also subsequently killed in what became known as the Munich massacre. Atif and four other terrorists were killed by German snipers on 6 September.

paragraph: Weinberg's actor son, Guri (married to actress Tammy Lauren), portrayed his father in the 2005 movie "Munich".

paragraph: Ze'ev Friedman

paragraph: Ze'ev Friedman (June 10, 1944 – September 6, 1972), was an Israeli flyweight weightlifter. A member of the Israeli Olympic team, he was murdered by terrorists in the 1972 Munich Olympics massacre.

paragraph: Section::::Biography.

paragraph: Ze'ev Friedman was born in Prokopyevsk, Soviet Union in 1944. In 1960, he moved from Poland to Israel. He began his sports career as a gymnast, but later switched to weightlifting. He was a member of Hapoel Kiryat Haim sports club. He won a bronze medal at the 1971 Asian Weightlifting Championships.

paragraph: In 1972, Ze'ev Friedman competed at the 1972 Summer Olympics in Munich, West Germany as a weightlifter. He placed 12th, one of the best achievements of any Israeli athlete at the time. On September 5, members of the Palestinian Black September group broke into the Israeli team's dormitory and took hostage several Israeli athletes and coaches including Friedman. After protracted negotiations, the kidnappers brought the hostages to an airport via helicopter and killed them during an attempted rescue by Munich police and Bavarian border guards. The autopsy report, by the Forensic Institute of the University of Munich, concluded that Friedman had died from internal bleeding and also noted that a watch worn by the 28-year old weight lifter was still ticking when the autopsy began, giving a time of 7:51pm.

paragraph: Kanetsugu served first as a koshō (小姓) to Uesugi Kenshin. After Kenshin had died, he served Kagekatsu, the adopted son of Kenshin. Kanetsugu's brother, Ōkuni Sanehiro, was also a famous Uesugi retainer.

paragraph: Section::::Biography.

paragraph: Kanetsugu was born , at Sakato Castle in Echigo Province. His father, Higuchi Sōemon Kanetoyo, was a senior retainer of Nagao Masakage, the lord of Sakato Castle. When Yoroku came of age he married his first cousin Osen from his maternal side, the widow of Uesugi retainer Naoe Nobutsuna, and took the Naoe family name in order to become head of the family line since Osen did not have any children from the previous marriage nor have any male heir available to succeed the family. He became an Uesugi councilor at the age of 22, quickly distinguished himself as an outstanding commander, and was involved in much of the fighting that took place on the Sea of Japan coast with Sassa Narimasa and Maeda Toshiie. Kanetsugu was also responsible for the actions of the Uesugi clan against the allies of the Tokugawa during the lead-up to the climactic Battle of Sekigahara. Following the Uesugi clan's surrender to the Tokugawa, in 1601, their holdings were transferred to the much smaller fief of Yonezawa, with an income of 300,000 koku. Kanetsugu was granted a stipend shortly before he retired.

paragraph: Section::::After death.

paragraph: Following his death, his wife Lady Osen (お船), per the custom at the time, took the tonsure, cutting her hair short and becoming a Buddhist nun. She was renamed Lady Teishin-ni (貞心尼). Teishin-ni helped rear the young Uesugi heir, Uesugi Sadakatsu, eventually dying in 1637 at the age of 81.

Dening recount an anecdote in which Hideyoshi, whose temporary unification of Japan paved the way for Ieyasu's shogunate, decides to visit Uesugi Kagekatsu, Kanetsugu's liege lord at the time, in person, accompanied by just a few retainers.

paragraph: On receipt of the news, Kagekatsu called a council to discuss what was best to do under the circumstances. The majority of the councilors advised the assassination of Hideyoshi, arguing that this was by far the simplest way of ridding themselves of a dangerous enemy. But Naoe Kanetsugu condemned this advice as unworthy of a man holding the position of Kagekatsu. "Hideyoshi's coming among us unguarded," said Kanetsugu, "is proof of his profound respect for our master. With lesser personages Hideyoshi would not so expose himself to danger. Knowing that our lord is a man of noble disposition, he trusts himself among us. Were we take advantage of this and slay him, the story of our baseness and treachery would be handed down to distant posterity to our eternal shame. No: let our master meet magnanimity with magnanimity; let him have an audience with Hideyoshi and let them see whether they cannot come to an understanding. If they cannot agree, then we will fight, but not till Hideyoshi has been sent back to his own country."

paragraph: Section::::In popular culture.

paragraph: The 2009 48th NHK Taiga drama "Tenchijin" was a dramatization of his life.

paragraph: He is a playable character in "Pokémon Conquest" (Pokémon + Nobunaga's Ambition in Japan), with his partner Pokémon being Kadabra and Alakazam. He is also in all of the games of Koei's Samurai Warriors and Warriors Orochi game series as well as being in the game Kessen as a minor general named "Nao" An alternate Reality version appears in the game Sengoku Rance, as a woman, Naoe Ai.

paragraph: In KissxSis, he is the fantasy of Yūzuki Kiryū, Keita's teacher. She has so many items dedicated to him, including body pillows, action figures and even a replica armour and weapon.

paragraph: Zhu Ran

paragraph: Zhu Ran (182 – March or April 249), born Shi Ran, courtesy name Yifeng, was a military general of the state of Eastern Wu during the Three Kingdoms period of China. Despite being a childhood friend of Wu's founding emperor, Sun Quan, he was never tasked with important position nor assignment before Lü Meng's invasion of southern Jing Province in 219, wherein he assisted in capturing the enemy commander Guan Yu. Following the Battle of Xiaoting, Wu's rival state, Cao Wei, launched a three-pronged strike on Wu's northwestern, middle, and eastern borders. Zhu Ran was sent to the northwestern border, where he defended the city of Jiangling with only 5,000 troops against an enemy force about ten times greater. He rose to fame and became feared throughout Wei. He then participated in a series of military operations against Wei, during which he defeated several enemy units, but the overall objectives were never met. Before his death, Zhu Ran was granted authority to oversee matters within the army.

paragraph: Section::::Early life.

paragraph: Originally from Guzhang County, Danyang Commandery (present-day Anji County, Huzhou), Zhu Ran was a maternal nephew of Zhu Zhi, who favoured his then 13-year-old nephew and asked his lord Sun Ce to grant him permission to adopt the child. Since Zhu Zhi had contributed considerably to Sun Ce's conquests in Jiangdong and had not bore a son, Sun Ce specifically ordered the Administrator of Danyang Commandery to bring presents to Zhu Ran's family for the ceremony and celebration. Thus, Zhu Ran became an adopted son of Zhu Zhi and had his family name changed from "Shi" to "Zhu". In addition, he studied together with Sun Ce's younger brother, Sun Quan, as a young boy, and the two became very intimate. Because of this, after Sun Ce died and was succeeded by Sun Quan, Zhu Ran was appointed as the Prefect of Yuyao County at the age of 19. Zhu Ran was later appointed as the Chief of Shanyin County, acting on authority of a Commandant, to oversee five local counties around the area. Pleased with his abilities, Sun Quan further promoted him to be the Administrator of Linchuan Commandery, and gave him command over 2,000 soldiers.

paragraph: Section::::Capture of Guan Yu.

paragraph: During his tenure as an commandery administrator, Zhu Ran had the merit of subjugating the Shanyue ethnic group within his jurisdiction, and was able to do so in less than a month. However, when the warlord Cao Cao led his massive army to invade southern China, Zhu Ran stayed in the back just as most other officials at the time did; and was not assigned significant tasks for some time until the Battle of Ruxukou, where he proved his loyalty in personally going to the frontline to help resist Cao Cao's 400,000 strong army. Although Zhu Ran did not engage the enemy in this battle, he was promoted by Sun Quan to the rank of Major-General, as a way to reaffirm his trust in Zhu Ran. In 219, Zhu Ran participated in Lü Meng's Jing Province campaign as Lü Meng's aide. When the enemy commander, Guan Yu, was abandoned by his troops and trapped in Maicheng, Zhu Ran was ordered by Lü Meng to lay the first line of blockades to Guan Yu's escape. However, for reason unknown, Zhu Ran let Guan Yu slip by, and Pan Zhang, who was responsible for the second layer, succeeded in capturing Guan Yu alive. Regardless, Sun Quan credited both Pan Zhang and Zhu Ran for Guan Yu's capture. When Lü Meng laid on his death bed shortly after the Jing Province campaign, Sun Quan asked his input on who could succeed him as the new commander for the army, wherein Lü Meng highly praised the abilities of Zhu Ran and recommended the latter be the replacement. Heeding Lü Meng's dying words, Sun Quan gave the staff of authority to Zhu Ran, and tasked him with the defence of Jiangling County, the capital of Nan Commandery and a vital strategic stronghold on the frontline.

paragraph: Two years later, Liu Bei, the emperor of Shu Han, led a grand army of more than 100,000 troops to invade Wu, and Zhu Ran led his 5,000 troops to join the Wu commander, Lu Xun, for the tactical defence of Yiling and Xiaoting. When the next summer came, Zhu Ran led a separate force against Shu. After breaking Liu Bei's vanguard, Zhu Ran's forces took up a position at the rear of the Shu army, blocking their escape as they attempted to flee from a fire attack executed by Lu Xun. Together, Lu Xun and Zhu Ran pursued Liu Bei into the deep hills, pushing him back to Baidicheng, where he would admit defeat and die shortly afterwards.

paragraph: Section::::Defence of Jiangling.

paragraph: Throughout the whole course of the Wu-Shu conflict, the Wei military had assembled troops but never mobilised. However, immediately following the success of Lu Xun's battles against Shu, the Wei emperor Cao Pi suddenly launched a three-pronged campaign against Wu after Sun Quan refused to send his eldest son, Sun Deng, as a hostage. Even though Cao Pi's plan was detected by Lu Xun, who ordered Xu Sheng to perform a double-back to return to Wuchang (present-day Ezhou, Hubei) and informed Sun Quan to prepare for war, the Wu forces still faced a dire situation. Their troops were stretched thinly across at least four fronts; on the western front facing Baidicheng, where Liu Bei's declaration of war was still in effect; Nan Commandery (around present-day Jingzhou, Hubei), which was pressed by the Wei generals Zhang He, Xu Huang, Cao Zhen, and Xiahou Shang; at Ruxu (on the eastern side of Lake Chaohu in present-day Anhui), where the Wei general Cao Ren was leading his team to land on Zhongzhou; and at the eastern battlefield on the Yangtze, Dongkou (along the Yangtze near present-day Liyang, Jiangsu), where Zhang Liao and Zang Ba under the command of Cao Xiu defeated Lü Fan's navy. At the time, there was an extreme shortage of military personnel. Furthermore, an outbreak of disease greatly reduced the morale and number of soldiers in Zhu Ran's army, leaving him with only 5,000 men capable to do battles, who were intimidated by the news that the Wu reinforcements led by Sun Sheng (孫盛) were eliminated by Zhang He. At Jiangling County, Xiahou Shang had also built numerous pontoon bridges for his soldiers to cross the shallow waters and attack the castle. With each passing day, the number of Wei troops besieging the castle increased by the thousands. Not knowing how and where the Wei forces were crossing the shallows of the river, the Wu reinforcements under Pan Zhang and Zhuge Jin had no effective way to lift the siege.

paragraph: Surrounded in his castle, Zhu Ran was heavily outnumbered by Cao Zhen, who encircled the fortress with several layers and deployed a variety of siege weapons. Yet Zhu Ran showed no signs of fear, and encouraged his comrades and subordinates to counter the enemy. When Cao Zhen relaxed his guard, Zhu Ran's forces were able to destroy two of the Wei encampments. Six months had passed; however, the Wei army still continued the siege, and Cao Pi had arrived at Wan city to bolster their morale. One of Zhu Ran's officers, seeing that the Wei troops were numerous and that the food supply within Jiangling was running out, planned to defect to Wei. He secretly contacted the Wei troops outside of the castle walls and promised to open the gate to permit their forces entry. When the betrayer was about to open the castle gate, he was noticed by Zhu Ran and executed. At the time, Pan Zhang had gone upstream and collected one million bundles of reeds. He fitted these to rafts and set them on fire, sending them downstream so that they would burn the pontoon bridges being used by Wei. Knowing what Pan Zhang had done, the Wei forces returned north before the retreat route could be destroyed. Because of his extraordinary performance in this battle, Zhu Ran's name became known throughout Wei as a powerful enemy general.

paragraph: Section::::Later life.

paragraph: In 241, Zhu Ran participated in a campaign against Wei and led an assault on Fancheng and surrounded it. However, the Wei army led by Sima Yi defeated him, and he retreated. In 246, he again invaded Wei and attacked Zuzhong (柤中), and when his escape route was cut off by Li Xing (李興) of Wei, he defeated Li Xing's forces and withdrew.

paragraph: In 245, Lu Xun died and Zhu Ran was given command over the armies of Wu by Sun Quan. He died four years later in 249, and received the third largest funeral after Lü Meng and Ling Tong. At his funeral service, Sun Quan was said to have wept greatly for him. His son, Shi Ji, succeeded him and continued to serve Eastern Wu.

paragraph: Section::::Zhu Ran's tomb.

paragraph: In June 1984, during the construction of a factory, Zhu Ran's burial site was discovered in Ma'anshan, Anhui. Many historically important decorative items of clothing and some of the world's oldest discovered lacquer were unearthed after being discovered within. The tomb had been underground for nearly 1,700 years. Though the tomb was raided, it was still home to over 140 valuable items. Most of the remaining buried items included mainly lacquered items made of wood, such as wooden plates, wooden clogs, and some wooden tables with educational stories and images drawn on them. The road on which the site was discovered was renamed to "Zhuran Road" in his honour.

paragraph: Section::::In "Romance of the Three Kingdoms".

paragraph: Zhu Ran appears as a minor character in the 14th-century historical novel "Romance of the Three Kingdoms", which romanticises the historical events before and during the Three Kingdoms period. In the novel, he is killed by Zhao Yun at the Battle of Xiaoting. (See Battle of Xiaoting#Zhao Yun killing Zhu Ran for details.)

paragraph: Shadrack Byfield

paragraph: Shadrack Byfield (sometimes Shadrach) was a British infantryman who served in the 41st Regiment during the War of 1812. He is best known as the author of a memoir of his wartime experiences, "A Narrative of a Light Company Soldier's Service", published in his hometown of Bradford on Avon in England in 1840. This work is notable as one of the only accounts of the conflict penned by a common British soldier.

paragraph: Section::::Early life and military service.

paragraph: Born in Woolley, a suburb of Bradford on Avon to a family of weavers in 1789, Byfield enlisted in the Wiltshire Militia in 1807, aged eighteen. Two years later, he volunteered into the 41st Regiment and was sent to join the regiment in North America, serving in Lower Canada and at Fort George in modern-day Niagara-on-the-Lake prior to the outbreak of war.

paragraph: As a private in the 41st, Byfield saw heavy action during the Anglo-American War of 1812. In the conflict's western theatre, he served at the Siege of Detroit and the Battle of Frenchtown, where he was wounded in the shoulder, as well as at the Siege of Fort Meigs and the Battle of Fort Stephenson. Byfield narrowly escaped capture after British defeat at the Battle of the Thames and later rejoined elements of his regiment in the Niagara Peninsula. Byfield participated in the Capture of Fort Niagara and the Battle of Lundy's Lane, but his left arm was shattered by a musket ball at the Battle of Conjocta Creek, an unsuccessful British raid on 3 August 1814 preceding the Siege of Fort Erie. Byfield's forearm was subsequently amputated and he was invalided back to England, where he was awarded a pension from the Royal Hospital Chelsea in 1815.

paragraph: Section::::Later life.

paragraph: Byfield returned to Bradford on Avon and married but was prevented from working at his trade because he required use of both hands to operate a loom. However, according to his memoirs, a design for an 'instrument' came to him one night in a dream; this contraption enabled him to work at a loom with just one arm, allowing him to provide for his family.

paragraph: Byfield published a memoir of his wartime experiences in 1840. Although some sources speculate that he died c.1850, more recent research suggests that Byfield actually died on 17 January 1874 in Bradford, aged 84.

paragraph: He also served as keeper of the Lord Edward Somerset Monument at Hawkesbury Upton in Gloucestershire from its completion in 1845 until he was dismissed from the post in 1853.

paragraph: Section::::Significance.

paragraph: Shadrack Byfield's "Narrative" provides a rare common soldier's perspective of the War of 1812, and as such his account, considered to be a critical source for studying the conflict, has frequently been republished or anthologised.

paragraph: Byfield has often been portrayed as the archetypical 1812-era British soldier by modern historians. John Gellner, who edited Byfield's memoirs in 1963, asserted that his story "could have been told by any one of those humble, patient, iron-hard British regulars who more than made up in discipline, training and bravery for their lack of numbers."

paragraph: Byfield's account has frequently been referenced in secondary histories of the war, notably in Pierre Berton's popular histories "The Invasion of Canada" and "Flames Across the Border".

paragraph: Shadrack Byfield's story has commonly been featured in museum exhibits (for instance, at Old Fort Erie) and in documentaries on the War of 1812, including (2000) and PBS's The War of 1812 (2011).

paragraph: Byfield is also the protagonist in a 1985 children's novel, "Redcoat", by Canadian author Gregory Sass, which presents a heavily fictionalised account of his military experiences.

paragraph: G. Tilghman Richards

paragraph: George Tilghman Richards (1884–1960), usually known as G. Tilghman Richards, was a British aeronautical engineer and museum curator, best known for his work on the Lee-Richards annular aeroplanes.

paragraph: He was a Fellow of the Royal Aeronautical Society (FRAeS) and Member of the Institute of Aeronautical Engineers (MIAeE).

paragraph: Section::::Early life.

paragraph: George Tilghman Richards was born in Altrincham, Cheshire on 18 August 1883 to George Richards and Amy Florence Richards.

paragraph: By 1908 Richards had gained experience as an automotive engineer working for Rolls-Royce and Belsize, and set up as an independent consultant in Manchester.

paragraph: Section::::Lee-Richards annular aeroplanes.

paragraph: In 1910 Cedric Lee approached Richards to work on an annular biplane which he had acquired half-finished from J. G. A. Kitchen. Together they finished the aeroplane, fitting a Gnome Omega engine in the front. The machine is known variously as the Kitchen annular biplane and the Lee-Richards annular biplane. Flight tests in 1911 were disappointing and that Autumn the biplane was destroyed on the ground by high winds, when its hangar collapsed. A non-flying replica later appeared in the 1965 film "Those magnificent men in their flying machines" and is now on display at the Newark Air Museum.

paragraph: Lee and Richards continued experimenting with models and Richards especially further developed the aerodynamic theory of the annular wing. They developed a form having a circular lower wing with an auxiliary plane above the front half of the main wing. A full-size manned glider proved successful. Model tests of a new design at the National Physics Laboratory gave promising results, confirming that an annular monoplane would be aerodynamically stable and have benign stalling characteristics.

paragraph: Through 1913-14 three monoplanes were built and flown. All were stable in flight and successively showed improved handling.

paragraph: Richards would continue to promote the benefits of the annular wing throughout his life, but without success. While working for Beardmore in 1916 he patented an improved method of construction.

paragraph: Section::::WWI and aftermath.

paragraph: When war broke out, Richards was commissioned into the Royal Naval Air Service (RNAS) as an inspector of Naval aircraft. He was sent to Beardmore, who were manufacturing other companies' designs under licence. In due course he resigned his commission to become assistant manager and designer. From 1916 to 1917 he produced their first in-house aircraft designs, achieving his greatest success with the W.B.III, a navalised version of the Sopwith Pup which Beardmore were manufacturing under license. Other Beardmore types which he designed included the W.B.1, W.B.2, W.B.IV, W.B.V and W.B.VI.

paragraph: After the war there was little demand for aircraft and he moved to Martinsyde as general manager, where they were changing over from aircraft manufacture to motor cycles.

paragraph: Section::::Science Museum.

paragraph: In 1924 he went to work for the Science Museum, London and remained there until his retirement in 1954.

paragraph: During his time there a model of a Lee-Richards annular monoplane was commissioned and put on display.

paragraph: He also wrote "The History and Development of Typewriters", Science Museum, London, 1938.

paragraph: Section::::Death.

paragraph: Richards died on 22 June 1960 at the age of 76.

paragraph: Black Thought

paragraph: Tariq Luqmaan Trotter (born October 3, 1971), better known as Black Thought, is an American rapper and the lead MC of the Philadelphia-based hip hop group The Roots, as well as an occasional actor. Black Thought, who co-founded The Roots with drummer Questlove (Ahmir Thompson), is widely lauded for his live performance skills, continuous multisyllabic rhyme schemes, complex lyricism, double entendres, and politically aware lyrics. With The Roots, he is a singer and rapper on "The Tonight Show Starring Jimmy Fallon," frequently playing games with Fallon and his guests.

paragraph: Section::::Early life.

paragraph: Black Thought was born Tariq Luqmaan Trotter, to Thomas and Cassandra Trotter, both members of the Nation of Islam. His father was murdered when Trotter was one, and his mother murdered when he was in high school. He spent time tagging "DT" or "Double T" with graffiti around Philadelphia. He sold crack cocaine briefly, and was sent to live with family in Detroit for a few months in high school. Trotter attended the Philadelphia High School for Creative and Performing Arts and Millersville University studying Journalism. In 1987, Trotter became friends with drummer Ahmir "Questlove" Thompson and formed a drummer/MC duo performing on the streets of Philadelphia and at talent shows. Trotter would subsequently spend some time as one of two MCs in the group The Square Roots: the other one was Malik B., whom Tariq met in college. In high school, Black Thought became interested in the lessons of the Nation of Gods and Earths, which you can still hear resonate in some of his bars.

paragraph: Section::::The Roots.

paragraph: The Square Roots renamed themselves the Roots and released their debut album "Organix" in 1993. The Roots signed to DGC and followed up with "Do You Want More?!!!??!" in 1995. Recorded without any sampling, the album was more popular among alternative music fans than those of hip hop. Around the release of the album, The Roots performed at the Lollapalooza alternative music festival and Montreux Jazz Festival. "Illadelph Halflife", the band's 1996 album, became its first album to chart within the top 40 spots on the "Billboard" 200 because of the successful single "What They Do". "Things Fall Apart" followed in 1999, the year the band played at the Woodstock 99 concert.

paragraph: In 2000, The Roots won the Grammy Award for Best Rap Performance by a Duo or Group for "You Got Me", with guest performances by Erykah Badu and Eve. The Roots' album "Things Fall Apart" was nominated for the Best Rap Album award. For Jay-Z's acoustic concert for the television program "MTV Unplugged", The Roots provided instrumentals. Succeeding albums were "Phrenology" (2002), "The Tipping Point" (2004), "Game Theory" (2006), "Rising Down" (2008), "How I Got Over" (2010), "Undun" (2011), and "…And Then You Shoot Your Cousin" (2014).

paragraph: Section::::Other work.

paragraph: Black Thought starred in films such as "Bamboozled" (2000), and the 2001 films "Perfume", "Love Rome", and "Brooklyn Babylon".

paragraph: Black Thought's numerous musical guest performances include "Pimpas Paradise", by Damian "Jr. Gong" Marley; "Hard Hitters", by Dilated Peoples; "Stolen Moments Part 2", by Common; "X-Ecutioner Style", by Linkin Park; "My Favorite Mutiny", by The Coup; "Right Now", by Fort Minor; and "Rafiki", by Zap Mama.

paragraph: Black Thought recorded a solo album, to be titled "Masterpiece Theatre" and released in 2001, but the project was scrapped after he learned that the album would not count toward The Roots' contractual commitments. Most of the songs from the project appeared on The Roots' "Phrenology" album.

paragraph: In 2006, he began working on a collaborative project with producer Danger Mouse, titled "Dangerous Thoughts". As of September 2017, the album had not been released.

paragraph: In a June 2008 interview with Brian Kayser of the website "HipHopGame", Black Thought spoke of another solo project that was scheduled for release on the Razor and Tie music corporation. He stated that there would be the possibility of Questlove working on production. As of September 2014, neither Black Thought nor the solo album are listed on the Razor & Tie website.

paragraph: In February 2011, Black Thought, along with 10.Deep and the "Money Making Jam Boys" collective—the latter of which includes Dice Raw, S.T.S., Truck North and P.O.R.N.—released the mixtape "The Prestige".

paragraph: Together with U.K. artist Lotek, Black Thought appeared on the song "Living in Bunkers", by Australian hip hop group Hilltop Hoods, which was released on the "Drinking From The Sun" album in March 2012. Also in March 2012, Black Thought performed with Nneka and Clef nite at BET 106 and Park. They performed the song "God Knows Why", from the former's album "Soul Is Heavy", which they collaborated on.

paragraph: In early 2013, Black Thought confirmed his continuing work, with Jim James and Tunde Adebimpe, on a solo album entitled "Talented Mr. Trotter". At this time, he began work on a memoir with journalist and music critic Jeff Chang, as well as filmmaker Maori Karmael.

paragraph: As of April 2015, the rapper has yet to release a solo album, but when asked about the long-awaited project, by a fan on Twitter, he said he's "working on it". He did not offer further details.

paragraph: In February 2016, Black Thought joined forces with Fashawn, Murs, and Del the Funky Homosapien to record a new track called "Rise Up" for the video game Street Fighter V. A music video for the song was released by Capcom, and includes appearances by Black Thought and his fellow collaborators.

paragraph: In December 2017, Black Thought appeared on HOT 97 with Funkmaster Flex where he performed a 10-minute freestyle over "The Learning (Burn)" instrumental by Mobb Deep. This freestyle went widely viral, trending over Twitter for the next days and hitting millions of views on YouTube. "Streams of Thought, Vol. 1", a collaborative EP with producer 9th Wonder, was released on June 1, 2018. "Streams of Thought, Vol. 2: Traxploitation", a collaboration with producer Salaam Remi, is scheduled to be released on November 26, 2018.
