paragraph: Chris Capuano

paragraph: Christopher Frank Capuano (born August 19, 1978) is an American former professional baseball pitcher. He played in Major League Baseball (MLB) for the Arizona Diamondbacks, Milwaukee Brewers, New York Mets, Los Angeles Dodgers, Boston Red Sox, New York Yankees, and Milwaukee Brewers, and was an All Star in 2006.

paragraph: Section::::Early life.

paragraph: Capuano graduated from St. Thomas School in West Springfield, Massachusetts. Four years later, Capuano was the valedictorian of his class at Cathedral High School in Springfield, Massachusetts and went on to earn a degree in Economics at Duke University, where he earned membership in Phi Beta Kappa. He was also a brother of the Xi Chapter of Alpha Tau Omega fraternity. In 1999 he played collegiate summer baseball in the Cape Cod Baseball League for the Bourne Braves.

paragraph: Section::::Professional career.

paragraph: Section::::Professional career.:Arizona Diamondbacks.

paragraph: Capuano was drafted by the Arizona Diamondbacks in the 8th round of the 1999 amateur draft (238th overall). He played with South Bend Silver Hawks of the Class A Midwest League in 2000 and the El Paso Diablos of the Class AA Texas League in 2001. He began 2002 with the Tucson Sidewinders of the Class AAA Pacific Coast League (PCL) and was 4–1 with a 2.72 ERA when, on May 17, he had Tommy John surgery and missed the rest of the season.

paragraph: He made his MLB debut with the Diamondbacks on May 4, 2003 against the Atlanta Braves, picking up the loss in a two-inning appearance in extra innings. He made his first start on May 17 against the Pittsburgh Pirates, but only lasted 4 and innings while allowing seven earned runs to take the loss. He was optioned back to the minors after that start and called back up for a spot start on July 9 against the San Diego Padres, where he worked seven innings, allowed only one unearned run and picked up his first victory. He returned to the minors after the appearance, where he made 23 starts for Tucson, with a 9–5 record and 3.34 ERA, earning him PCL All-Star honors. He returned to the Diamondbacks when rosters expanded in September and overall appeared in 9 games for them, with 5 starts, and was 2–4 with a 4.64 ERA.

paragraph: Section::::Professional career.:Milwaukee Brewers.

paragraph: On December 1, 2003, Capuano was traded to the Milwaukee Brewers (along with Craig Counsell, Lyle Overbay, Junior Spivey, Jorge de la Rosa and Chad Moeller) for Shane Nance, Richie Sexson and minor leaguer Noochie Varner. He made 17 starts for the Brewers in 2004 and was 6–8 with a 4.99 ERA.

paragraph: His 2005 season with the Brewers proved to be a break-out year as he posted 18 wins, the highest total for a Brewer since Ted Higuera in 1987. He also led the National League in quality starts during the 2005 season. In 2006, Capuano continued his excellent pitching by taking over as the team's new ace with Ben Sheets injured and was named to the 2006 Major League Baseball All-Star Game as a replacement for Tom Glavine. Capuano, however, ended up with only 11 wins in 2006.

paragraph: Capuano started the 2007 season 5–0 and then the Milwaukee Brewers lost the next 22 games Capuano pitched in from May 12 to September 28. In June he hit his first major league home run against the Florida Marlins.

paragraph: Before the start of the 2008 season, he underwent Tommy John surgery for the second time in his career and missed the entire season.

paragraph: The Brewers non-tendered Capuano following the 2008 season, making him a free agent but re-signed him to a minor league deal shortly after. Before the start of the 2009 season Capuano had hoped to start live game pitching in mid May, but was limited to a handful of games in the Brewers rookie leagues. After becoming a free agent at the end of the season, Capuano was re-signed to a minor league contract with the Brewers on November 23, 2009.

paragraph: Capuano was invited to the Milwaukee Brewers' spring training for the 2010 season, but early on he complained of arm soreness and was placed in extended spring training. He would start the regular season with the Single A, Brevard County Manatees of the Florida State League. Capuano would only need 3 appearances with the Manatees before being promoted to the Triple A Nashville Sounds. In those 3 appearances, Capuano registered a 2–0 record with a 1.23 ERA and 17 strikeouts in 14 innings pitched. On May 28, 2010, Capuano made his final start for the Sounds, and was pulled after four innings. After the game, it was announced the Brewers had purchased his minor league contract and he was recalled to the majors.

paragraph: Capuano started the Brewers' June 3, 2010 game against the Florida Marlins in Miami, giving up three runs on seven hits in 3 innings while striking out four and walking one. He was charged with the loss in the 3–2 Marlins win. On July 3, 2010, he appeared in a Brewers victory against the St. Louis Cardinals in St. Louis. This snapped the streak of 26 straight losses he had appeared in between 2007 and 2010.

paragraph: Section::::Professional career.:New York Mets.

paragraph: Capuano signed with the New York Mets before the 2011 season. On August 26, pitching against the Atlanta Braves, he threw his first complete game shutout since 2005, setting a career high in strikeouts in a game with 13. He made 31 starts for the Mets in 2011, his most since 2006, and also appeared in relief twice. He was 11–12 with a 4.55 ERA during the season.

paragraph: Section::::Professional career.:Los Angeles Dodgers.

paragraph: On December 2, 2011, Capuano signed a two-year deal worth $10 million with the Los Angeles Dodgers. He started the 2012 season strong, with a 9–4 record and 2.91 in his first 18 starts but went only 3–8 with a 4.76 in his last 15 starts. Overall, he was 12–12 with a 3.72 in 33 starts.

paragraph: Capuano began the 2013 season in the bullpen due to the Dodgers having too many starting pitchers. He got a chance to start on April 16 due to an injury to Zack Greinke but suffered his own injury, a strained left calf, in the game and only lasted three innings. He wound up making 20 starts for the team in 2013, despite missing time with various injuries. He also appeared in 4 games out of the bullpen. His final record was 4–7 with a 4.26 ERA.

paragraph: Section::::Professional career.:Boston Red Sox.

paragraph: On February 20, 2014, Capuano reportedly agreed to a $2.25 million one-year contract with the Boston Red Sox. He passed his physical and the deal was made official on February 22, 2014.

paragraph: Capuano began the 2014 season with 15 consecutive scoreless innings. From May 3, 2014 through June 23, 2014, he allowed 17 runs over 16 2/3 innings. On June 25, 2014, he was designated for assignment. He was released on July 1.

paragraph: Section::::Professional career.:Colorado Rockies.

paragraph: Shortly after his release from the Red Sox, he signed a minor league deal with the Colorado Rockies. He pitched for the Tulsa Drillers of the Texas League and the Colorado Springs Sky Sox of the PCL, making a total of four starts between the two teams.

paragraph: Section::::Professional career.:New York Yankees.

paragraph: On July 24, 2014. Capuano was traded to the New York Yankees from the Rockies for cash considerations.

paragraph: In 12 starts for the Yankees, Capuano went 2-3 with a 4.25 ERA.

paragraph: Despite being a free agent, Capuano pitched for the MLB All Star team in the 2014 MLB Japan All Star Series. Wearing a Yankee uniform, he started two games for the MLB All Stars, allowing just one earned run on five hits and striking out seven batters.

paragraph: On December 16, 2014, Capuano re-signed with the Yankees on a one-year, $5 million contract. He was designated for assignment on July 29, 2015. He was called back up by the Yankees on August 12 and designated for assignment again three days later. The Yankees then recalled him again on August 18 to take the place of Bryan Mitchell, who had been injured by a line drive during a spot start the previous evening. After being designated for assignment once again on August 22, he elected free agency on August 24. However, due to an injury to CC Sabathia, Capuano immediately re-signed with the Yankees. He was designated for assignment yet again the following day when Michael Pineda was activated from the DL. He was called up again on September 7.

paragraph: Section::::Professional career.:Second stint with the Brewers.

paragraph: Capuano signed a minor league deal with the Milwaukee Brewers in January 2016, and went on to make the big league club out of spring training. He pitched well out of the bullpen for the Brewers for the first two months of the season until he sustained an elbow injury while pitching in a game versus the Atlanta Braves.

paragraph: Section::::Professional career.:Retirement.

paragraph: On March 6, 2018, Capuano retired from professional baseball.

paragraph: Section::::International career.

paragraph: Capuano played on Team USA in the 2001 World Cup of Baseball and helped the team earn a silver medal. Chris also represented the Major League All Stars Versus the Japanese All Stars in several exhibition games in Japan in November of both 2006 and 2014.

paragraph: Section::::Pitching style.

paragraph: Capuano was a finesse pitcher who relied on his deceptive delivery. He threw his fastball in the mid to upper 80s, and would sometimes hit 90 mph in the early stages of a game. Capuano also featured a slider and a changeup, and possessed an excellent pickoff move. In 2005, he led the major leagues in pickoffs with 12, though he also tied Brett Myers for balks with 4.

paragraph: Section::::Personal life.

paragraph: Capuano, along with teammates J. J. Hardy, Bill Hall, and Jeff Suppan, appeared in an episode of "The Young and the Restless" on June 20, 2007. He married Sarah Clifford, whom he met at Duke, in 2008. The two divorced in 2018. She was a contender for the 2004 Summer Olympics in Athens, for the modern pentathlon. Capuano grew up a Red Sox fan.

paragraph: After his playing career, Chris furthered his education with an MIT Sloan Fellows MBA (Class of 2019); has remained a close advisor of the Major League Baseball Players Association (MLBPA); and is a Strategy and Development Partner for Boston Biomotion, Inc., focusing initially on its flagship health technology called Proteus.

paragraph: Philip Allen, Baron Allen of Abbeydale

paragraph: Philip Allen, Baron Allen of Abbeydale, GCB (8 July 1912, Sheffield – 27 November 2007, Windsor, Berkshire) was a British civil servant.

paragraph: Section::::Education and early life.

paragraph: He was the son of Arthur Allen and Louie Tipper and educated at King Edward VII School in Sheffield and Queens' College, Cambridge where he read Law. He came top of his year in the Civil Service administrative examinations in 1934.

paragraph: Section::::Career.

paragraph: Allen joined the Home Office in 1934 and served in the War Cabinet (1943–44), then as Deputy Secretary to the Ministry of Housing and Local Government (1955–60). He then became Deputy Under-Secretary of State at the Home Office (1960–62), Second Secretary at HM Treasury (1963–66), and Permanent Under-Secretary of State at the Home Office (1966–72).

paragraph: Section::::Timothy Evans.

paragraph: As deputy chairman of the Prison Commission for England and Wales from 1950–52, he advised against a reprieve for Timothy Evans, hanged in 1950 for the murder of his baby daughter at 10 Rillington Place, London. He also thought that Evans was guilty of the murder of his wife, for which Evans had not been prosecuted. Evans was pardoned in 1966 and Evans' neighbour, John Christie, was held responsible for strangling his own wife and five other women as well as Evans' wife, to which he confessed. When the Home Office files were published, Allen expressed his deep regret at the advice he had given.

paragraph: Section::::Derek Bentley.

paragraph: Together with Permanent Under-Secretary Sir Frank Newsam, Allen unsuccessfully urged a reprieve for Derek Bentley, who was hanged aged 19 in 1953 for the murder of a policeman. Bentley, who was already under arrest at the time, had allegedly called to an armed accomplice, Christopher Craig, "Let him have it, Chris!", when they were caught in a burglary. The remark, if made, was ambiguous, possibly urging surrender of Craig's gun, rather than inciting Craig to murder. In 1998, Bentley received a posthumous pardon. Craig was imprisoned, being under-age for execution, and was later released.

paragraph: Section::::Honours and roles.

paragraph: Allen was appointed a Companion of the Order of the Bath (CB) in the 1954 Birthday Honours, promoted to Knight Commander (KCB) in the 1964 Birthday Honours and to Knight Grand Cross (GCB) in the 1970 Birthday Honours.

paragraph: Announced in the 1976 Birthday Honours, Allen was created a life peer as Baron Allen of Abbeydale, of the City of Sheffield, on 12 July 1976. He sat in the House of Lords as a crossbencher. From 1973 to 1978 he was a member of the Pearson commission.

paragraph: He was chairman of the council of Royal Holloway College during its merger with Bedford College in 1985.

paragraph: Section::::Personal life.

paragraph: Pemulwuy

paragraph: Pemulwuy (also rendered as Pimbloy, Pemulvoy, Pemulwoy, Pemulwy, Pemulwye, or sometimes by contemporary Europeans as Bimblewove or Bumbleway) (c. 1750 – 2 June 1802) was an Aboriginal Australian man born around 1750 in the area of Botany Bay in New South Wales. He is noted for his resistance to the European settlement of Australia which began with the arrival of the First Fleet in 1788. He is believed to have been a member of the Bidjigal (Bediagal) clan of the Eora people.. The Bidjigal people were the original inhabitants of Toongabbie and Parramatta in Sydney.

paragraph: Pemulwuy lived near Botany Bay. Pemulwuy may have been a carradhy (healer). Pemulwuy would hunt meat and provide it to the food-challenged new colony in exchange for goods. However, in 1790 Pemulwuy began a twelve-year guerilla war against the British, which continued until his assassination.

paragraph: When Pemulwuy grew into manhood he became "Bembul Wuyan", which represents "the earth and the crow". According to historian Richard Green "he wasn't very impressed with the mix of cultures. He preferred that we stayed within our own peoples". Another name for him was ""Butu Wargun"" which means "crow".

paragraph: Section::::Early life.

paragraph: Pemulwuy was born with a turned eyeball or other blemish in his left eye. According to historian Eric Willmot:

paragraph: Normally, a child that showed an obvious deformity would've been, well, people would have expected that child to be sent back, to be reborn again. It was generally thought that humans, like everything, came from the land. And that a woman, the actual act of conception, was a woman being infected by a child's spirit from the land. And that child grows within her. And so he was different and he became more different. He became better than everybody else. Whatever anyone else could do, Pemulwuy did it better. He could run further, he was one of the best, he could use a spear like no-one else could. And so, around him, was created an aura of difference. So much so that he was said to be a clever man. In an Aboriginal society, clever man is often a man who deals with the spiritual nature of things and sorcery even.His contemporary Colebe said that Pemulwuy's left foot was distinctive as it had been damaged by a club, perhaps to mark him as a carradhy ("clever man" or healer). The Kurdaitcha (ritual executioners and lawmen) of Central Australia similarly have a foot deliberately mutilated.

paragraph: Section::::Conflict with the Europeans.

paragraph: Section::::Conflict with the Europeans.:Origin of Conflict: Spearing of McIntyre.

paragraph: On 9 December 1790, a shooting party left for Botany Bay, including a sergeant of marines and three convicts, including Governor Phillip's gamekeeper John McIntyre. According to Watkin Tench:

paragraph: About one o’clock, the sergeant was awakened by a rustling noise in the bushes near him, and supposing it to proceed from a kangaroo, called to his comrades, who instantly jumped up. On looking about more narrowly, they saw two natives with spears in their hands, creeping towards them, and three others a little farther behind. As this naturally created alarm, McIntyre said, “don’t be afraid, I know them,” and immediately laying down his gun, stepped forward, and spoke to them in their own language. The Indians, finding they were discovered, kept slowly retreating, and McIntyre accompanied them about a hundred yards, talking familiarly all the while. One of them now jumped on a fallen tree and, without giving the least warning of his intention, launched his spear at McIntyre and lodged it in his left side. The person who committed this wanton act was described as a young man with a speck or blemish on his left eye. That he had been lately among us was evident from his being newly shaved.

paragraph: The group was pursued by the settlers with muskets, but they escaped. McIntyre was taken back to the settlement, gravely wounded. Tench suspected that McIntyre had previously killed Aboriginal people, and noted the fear and hatred that the Aboriginal people, including Bennelong (an Aboriginal man who Governor Phillip had captured, in hopes of interaction with the Aboriginals) showed towards him.

paragraph: Section::::Conflict with the Europeans.:Governor Phillip's Military Expeditions.

paragraph: An irate Governor Phillip ordered Lieutenant Tench to gather his company of marines and lead an expedition against the Bidjigal in retaliation for Pemulwuy's attack on McIntyre. He ordered that two Bidjigal were to be captured and ten killed; these ten were then to be beheaded and the heads returned to the settlement. Tench swiftly suggested an alternative and less bloodthirsty plan, that six Bidjigal be captured and brought to Sydney Cove but that none be killed out of hand.

paragraph: Tench's proposal was accepted, and the expedition set out on 14 December in search of Pemulwuy and the Bidjigal tribe. The expedition was the largest military operation since the founding of the colony, comprising Tench, Lieutenants William Dawes and John Poulden, and 46 marines. However, despite three days of searching there was no sign of the Bidjigal. On 17 December Tench ordered a return to Sydney Cove to gather supplies.

paragraph: Section::::Conflict with the Europeans.:Resistance.

paragraph: Pemulwuy persuaded the Eora, Dharug and Tharawal people to join his campaign against the settlers

paragraph: . From 1792 Pemulwuy led raids on settlers from Parramatta, Georges River, Prospect, Toongabbie, Brickfield and Hawkesbury River. His most common tactic was to burn crops and kill livestock. In May 1795, Pemulwuy or one of his followers speared a convict near present-day Chippendale.

paragraph: In December 1795, Pemulwuy and his warriors attacked a work party at Botany Bay which included Black Caesar. Caesar managed to crack Pemulwuy's skull and many thought he had killed him, but the warrior survived and esca this critically injured him afterwards.

paragraph: Section::::Conflict with the Europeans.:Escape.

paragraph: Despite still having buckshot in his head and body, and wearing a leg-iron, Pemulwuy escaped from the hospital. This added to the belief that he was a "carradhy".

paragraph: Pemulwuy recommenced his fighting against the British by November 1797. However his injuries had affected his ability as a fighter and his resistance was on a smaller and more sporadic scale for the rest of his life.

paragraph: Convicts William Knight and Thomas Thrush escaped and joined the aboriginal resistance.

paragraph: According to Richard Green, "with simple spears, rocks, boomerangs, stones, he [Pemulwuy] defeated the British army that they sent here. Every single soldier except for Watkin Tench, that they sent in pursuit of Pemulwuy either walked back into the community with their saddle over their shoulders or they didn't make it back."

paragraph: Section::::Death.

paragraph: Governor Philip Gidley King issued an order on 22 November 1801 for bringing Pemulwuy in dead or alive, with an associated reward. The order attributed the killing of two men, the dangerous wounding of several, and a number of robberies to Pemulwuy.

paragraph: On 2 June 1802 Pemulwuy was shot and killed by a blinded British sailor Henry Hacking, the first mate of the English ship .

paragraph: "After being wounded, all the people believed that he was immune to British bullets," says Richard Green. "So he'd stand out in front and, you know, stand right out in front of them and take them on, you know? So after 12 years, his time ran out. He got his shot and he took it."

paragraph: Following the death of Pemulwuy, Governor King wrote to Lord Hobart that on the death of Pemulwuy he was given his head by the Aboriginal people as Pemulwuy "had been the cause of all that had happened". The Governor issued orders with immediate effect to not "molest or ill-treat any native", and to re-admit them to the areas of Parramatta and Prospect from which they had been forcibly excluded.

paragraph: Pemulwuy's head was preserved in spirits. It was sent to England to Sir Joseph Banks accompanied by a letter from Governor King, who wrote: "Although a terrible pest to the colony, he was a brave and independent character."

paragraph: Pemulwuy's son Tedbury continued the struggle for a number of years before being killed in 1810.

paragraph: Pemulwuy's death remains confusing to historians and to Aboriginal Australians, and the Sydney Morning Herald described it in 2003 as "Australia's oldest murder mystery."

paragraph: Section::::Death.:Skull.

paragraph: Repatriation of the skull of Pemulwuy has been requested by Sydney Aboriginal people. It has not yet been located in order to be repatriated. In 2010 Prince William announced he would return Pemulwuy's skull to his Aboriginal relatives.

paragraph: Section::::Legacy.

paragraph: The Sydney suburb of Pemulwuy, New South Wales is named after him, as well as Pemulwuy Park in Redfern, New South Wales.

paragraph: In the 1980s the band Redgum composed a song about Pemulwuy entitled "Water and Stone".

paragraph: The first song on James Asher's 1996 new age album "Feet In The Soil" is entitled "Pemulwuy", and the last song is entitled "Pemulwuy Returns". Both feature didgeridoos.

paragraph: Australian composer Paul Jarman composed a choral work entitled "Pemulwuy". It has become an Australian choral standard, and was performed by the Biralee Blokes in their victory in the ABC Choir of the Year 2006.

paragraph: In 1987 Weldons published "Pemulwuy: The Rainbow Warrior" by Eric Willmot, a best-selling novel providing a fictionalised account using early colonial documents as source. Matilda Media re-released the book in 1994

paragraph: The redevelopment of The Block in the Sydney suburb of Redfern by the Aboriginal Housing Company has been called the Pemulwuy Project.

paragraph: In 2008 Marlene Cummins released an eponymous song about Pemulwuy. This was later presented to Prince William along with a petition to bring Pemulwuy's head back to his people.

paragraph: In 2009 a remote boxing game for the Wii console, Pemulwuy Dream Team, was developed.

paragraph: In 2015 the National Museum of Australia installed a plaque honouring his role in Australian history as part of the "Defining Moments" project.

paragraph: In 2017 a Sydney Ferries Emerald-class ferry was named "Pemulwuy".

In contrast to the way his predecessors' ruled, Abas' reign was marked by years of peace, stability, and prosperity that Armenia had not enjoyed for decades.

paragraph: Section::::Life.

paragraph: His capital was based at the fortress-city of Kars and Abas achieved numerous successes on both the foreign and domestic fronts. In the same year that he became king, Abas traveled to Dvin, where he was able to convince the Arab governor there to release several Armenian hostages and turn over control of the pontifical palace back to Armenia. Conflict between the Arabs were minimal too, with the exception of a military defeat Abas suffered near the holy city of Vagharshapat. He was far less conciliatory towards the Byzantines, who had repeatedly demonstrated their unreliability as allies by attacking and annexing Armenian territories. However, the Byzantine emperor Romanus I Lecapenus was more focused on fighting the Arab Hamdanids, leaving Abas virtually free to conduct his policies without foreign hindrance. Also, Abas confronted an invasion by king Ber of Abkhazia in 943: a new church had been completed in Kars under Abas' orders and prior to its consecration, Ber had appeared with an army along the river of the Araxes, demanding that the new church be consecrated under Chalcedonian rite. Abas refused to make any concessions and ambushed Ber's forces in a dawn assault. Several more skirmishes took place, wherein Ber was finally captured by Abas' men. Abas took the king to his new church and told him that he would never see it again, blinding him and sending him back to Abkhazia. Abas died in 953, leaving his kingdom to his two sons, Ashot III and Mushegh.

paragraph: Kay Nielsen

paragraph: Kay Rasmus Nielsen (March 12, 1886 – June 21, 1957) was a Danish illustrator who was popular in the early 20th century, the "golden age of illustration" which lasted from when Daniel Vierge and other pioneers developed printing technology to the point that drawings and paintings could be reproduced with reasonable facility. Nielsen is also known for his collaborations with Disney for whom he contributed many story sketches and illustrations, not least for "Fantasia".

paragraph: Section::::Biography.

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

paragraph: Kay Nielsen was born in Copenhagen into an artistic family; both of his parents were actors - Nielsen's father, Martinus Nielsen, was the director of Dagmarteater and his mother, Oda Nielsen, was one of the most celebrated actresses of her time, both at the Royal Danish Theater and at the Dagmarteater. Kay Nielsen studied art in Paris at Académie Julian and Académie Colarossi from 1904 to 1911, and then lived in England from 1911 to 1916. He received his first English commission from Hodder and Stoughton to illustrate a collection of fairy tales, providing 24 colour plates and more than 15 monotone illustrations for "In Powder and Crinoline, Fairy Tales Retold by Sir Arthur Quiller-Couch" in 1913. In the same year, Nielsen was also commissioned by "The Illustrated London News" to produce a set of four illustrations to accompany the tales of Charles Perrault; Nielsen's illustrations for 'Sleeping Beauty', 'Puss in Boots', 'Cinderella' and 'Bluebeard' were published in the 1913 Christmas Edition.

paragraph: Section::::Biography.:Artistic career.

paragraph: A year later in 1914, Nielsen provided 25 colour plates and more than 21 monotone images for the children's collection "East of the Sun and West of the Moon". The colour images for both "In Powder and Crinoline" and "East of the Sun and West of the Moon" were reproduced by a 4-colour process, in contrast to many of the illustrations prepared by his contemporaries that characteristically utilized a traditional 3-colour process. Also in that year, Nielsen produced at least three illustrations depicting scenes from the life of Joan of Arc. When published later in the 1920s, these images were associated with relevant text from "The Monk of Fife".

paragraph: While painting landscapes in the Dover area, Nielsen came into contact with The Society of Tempera Painters where he learned new skills, and was able to reduce the time involved in the painting process. In 1917 Nielsen left for New York where an exhibition of his work was held and subsequently returned to Denmark. Together with a collaborator, Johannes Poulsen, he painted stage scenery for the Royal Danish Theatre in Copenhagen. During this time, Nielsen also worked on an extensive suite of illustrations intended to accompany a translation of "The Arabian Nights" that had been undertaken by the Arabic scholar, Professor Arthur Christensen. According to Nielsen's own published comments, these illustrations were to be the basis of his return to book illustrations following a hiatus during World War I and the intention had been to publish the Danish version in parallel with versions for the English-speaking world and the French market. The project never came to fruition and Nielsen's illustrations remained unknown until many years after his death.

paragraph: Following his theatrical work in Copenhagen, Nielsen returned to contributing to illustrated books with the publication of "Fairy Tales by Hans Andersen" in 1924. That title included 12 colour plates and more than 40 monotone illustrations. The colour images were prepared with integrated formal and informal borders; the informal borders were produced in a mille fleur style. A year later, Nielsen provided the artwork for "Hansel and Gretel, and Other Stories by the Brothers Grimm" which was first published with 12 colour images and over 20 detailed monotone illustrations. A further 5 years passed before the publication of "Red Magic", the final title to be illustrated comprehensively by Nielsen. The 1930 version of "Red Magic" included 8 colour and more than 50 monotone contributions from the Danish artist.

paragraph: Section::::Biography.:Work at Disney.

paragraph: In 1939 Nielsen left for California and worked for Hollywood companies. A personal recommendation from Joe Grant to Walt Disney secured Nielsen a job with The Walt Disney Company, where his work was used in the "Night on Bald Mountain" and "Ave Maria" sequences of "Fantasia". Nielsen was renowned at the Disney studio for his concept art and he contributed artwork for many Disney films, including concept paintings for a proposed adaptation of Hans Christian Andersen's "The Little Mermaid". The adaptation was to be part of a package film containing various segments based on Andersen's fairy tales. The film, however, was not made within Nielsen's lifetime and his work went unused until production started on the 1989 film. Nielsen worked for The Walt Disney Company for 4 years, from 1937 to 1941 before being let go.

paragraph: Section::::Final years and death.

paragraph: Nielsen briefly returned to Denmark in desperation. However, he found his works no longer in demand there either. His final years were spent in poverty. His last works were for local schools, including 'The First Spring' mural installed at Central Junior High School, Los Angeles and churches, including his painting to the Wong Chapel at the First Congregational Church, Los Angeles, illustrating the 23rd Psalm.

paragraph: Nielsen contracted a chronic cough that would plague him until his death on June 21, 1957 at the age of 71. His funeral service was held under his mural in the Wong Chapel. Ulla, his wife since she was 21, died the following year.

paragraph: Before her death to diabetes, Ulla gave Nielsen's remaining illustrations to Frederick Monhoff, who in turn tried to place them in museums. However, none – American or Danish – would accept them at the time.

paragraph: Daniel Vierge

paragraph: Daniel Urrabieta y Vierge (5 March 185110 May 1904) was a Spanish-born French illustrator who revolutionized the reproduction of illustrations.

paragraph: Section::::Biography.

paragraph: He was born in Madrid. He went to Paris in 1867 to seek his fortune, where he became attached to "Le Monde illustré" in 1870, just before the Franco-Prussian War broke out, and, like other artists in the paper, came under the powerful influence of Edmond Morin, the first newspaper draughtsman in France who sought to impart to drawings for journals the character of a work of art. Vierge's early drawings, therefore, partake greatly of Morin's style; including "The Shooting in the Rue de la Paix", "The Place d'Armes at Versailles", "The Loan", "The Great School-Fête of Lyons", "Anniversary of the Fight of Aydes" and "Souvenir of Coulmiers".

paragraph: Vierge lost no time in proving the extraordinary vigour and picturesqueness of his art. Apart from his contribution of his own original work, he was required by his paper to redraw upon the wood, for the engraver, the sketches sent in by artist-correspondents, such as Luc-Olivier Merson in Rome and Samuel Urrabieta (Vierge's brother) in Spain.

paragraph: From 1871–78 his individuality became more and more pronounced, and he produced, among his best-known drawings, "Christmas in Spain," "The Republican Meeting in Trafalgar Square," "Attack on a Train in Andulusia," "Feast of St Rosalia in Palermo," "In the Jardin d'Acclimatation," "The Burning of the Library of the Escurial, 1872," "Grasshoppers in Algiers," "Brigandage in Sicily," "Night Fête in Constantinople," "Episode of the Civil War in Spain," "Marriage of the King of Spain" and "The Bull Fight." About this time he illustrated with remarkable dash and skill Victor Hugo's "Année terrible" (Michel Lévy, 1874, and Hugues, 1879), ""1813"" (Hugues, 1877) and "Les Misérables" (1882). His masterpiece of illustration is Michelet's "History of France" (1876), consisting of 26 volumes containing 1,000 drawings. In 1879 he was drawing for "La Vie moderne", and then proceeded to illustrate "Pablo de Segovia".

paragraph: In 1882 the publication of his edition of Francisco de Quevedo's "Historia de la vida del Buscón llamado don Pablos" (The Life Story of a Swindler Called Don Pablos) brought the technique of photo-reproduction to a high level of finish. Prior to that time, most artists and engravers had been forced to rely on tracings and other manual methods which often resulted in interpretations of the artists' works.

paragraph: In 1891 he illustrated "L'Espagnole", by Émile Bergerat, and in 1895 "Le Cabaret des trois vertus". In 1898 he held, at the Pelletan Gallery in Paris, an exhibition of his drawings for Chateaubriand's "Le Dernier Abencérage" ("The Last of the Abencerrages"), and in the following year a comprehensive exhibition of his work (including the illustrations to "Don Quixote") at the Art Nouveau Gallery, also in Paris.

paragraph: In 1898 Vierge contributed to "L'Image", a magazine devoted to the encouragement of wood-engraving; and two years later, at the International Exhibition at Paris, he was awarded a "grand prix". In 1902 he exhibited at the New Salon a scene from the Franco-Prussian War.

paragraph: He was never prolific and suffered a stroke at the age of 30, which forced him to learn to draw with his left hand. He died in Boulogne-sur-Seine at the age of 53.

paragraph: Lawrence Sheriff

paragraph: Lawrence Sheriff (or Sheriffe) (c. 1515 or 1516 – September 1567) was an Elizabethan gentleman and grocer to Elizabeth I who endowed Rugby School.

paragraph: Not much is known about Lawrence Sheriff's early life, but it thought that he was born either in a (now long vanished) house opposite St Andrew's Church in Rugby, Warwickshire, or in an extant house in the nearby village of Brownsover. His date of birth is not known with certainty, but is believed to have been either 1515 or 1516. Sheriff was apprenticed by his father to a London grocer named William Walcott, at which point he went to London. His seven year apprenticeship ended in 1541, after which he became a London grocer during the reign of King Henry VIII. In 1554 he was elected to the London Livery company the 'Worshipful Company of Grocers'.

paragraph: Sheriff became a highly successful grocer to many of the rich and powerful of the day including Princess (later Queen from 1558) Elizabeth. Sheriff provided "spices and necessaries" to Princess Elizabeth when she was living in exile at Hatfield House. Sheriff remained unwaveringly loyal to her during this difficult period, and in 1559 following her accession he was granted a coat of arms produced by Herald's College with the Queen's approval, the main feature of which is a griffin, the traditional guardian of treasures. In the New Year's Gift list for 1562 there was a record of an exchange of gifts between Sheriff and the Queen; he gave her "a sugar loaf, a box of ginger, a box of nutmegs and a pound of cinnamon", she in return gave him "one gilt salt with a cover (weighing 7 oz.)".

paragraph: Throughout his life he bought extensive property in the areas of Rugby, Brownsover and London, including the estate of Conduit Close in Middlesex.

paragraph: He earned a great fortune through his life, and married a woman called Elizabeth but was not known to have had any children. In 1566 he was elected as the Vice-Warden of the Grocers Company, but the following year he became ill and died in September 1567. In his last few months he drew up a will which stipulated that his fortune should be used to found almshouses and a school "to serve chiefly for the children of Rugby and Brownsover... and next for such as be of other places hereunto adjoyneing." This endowment was not fully realized, however, for some time, due to a challenge over the provisions of the will from the Howkins family, to whom Sheriff was related through his sister, Bridget.

paragraph: He requested to be buried at parish church of St Andrew's Church in Rugby, where his parents were buried, but this request was not carried out, and instead he was buried at Christ Church Greyfriars in Newgate in London. However no trace remains: the church and all its monuments were destroyed in the Great Fire of London in 1666. He is remembered today by the Lawrence Sheriff School in Rugby. Both Rugby School and the Lawrence Sheriff School use versions of the coat of arms granted to Lawrence Sheriff in 1559.

paragraph: Section::::Life.

paragraph: Yayū was born in Nagoya, the first son of who served the Owari Domain. He inherited the Yokoi House's patrimony at twenty-six and held important posts of the Owari Domain. He was for example "yōnin" (manager of general affairs), "Ōbangashira" (chief of guard) and "Jisha-Bugyō" (manager of religious affairs). In 1754, at age 53, he retired for health reasons. Yayū moved to (now in Naka-ku, Nagoya), and lived in the hermitage. He was a prolific and respected composer of haibun, Classical Chinese poems, waka and Japanese satirical poems, and was an adept of the Japanese tea ceremony.

paragraph: Section::::Works.

paragraph: Yayū also excelled in Japanese martial arts, studied Confucianism and learned haikai from Mutō Hajaku (武藤巴雀) and Ōta Hajō (太田巴静). Hajaku and Hajō were pupils of Kagami Shikō (各務支考), a leading disciple of Matsuo Bashō. Mori Senzō (森銑三), a student of old Japanese literature, compared his "hokku" to senryū, and said they were not as interesting as his "haibun". Yayū has been described as a master of "haibun", and Nagai Kafū 永井荷風　called Yayū's "haibun" a model of Japanese prose.

paragraph: Daniel Rantzau

paragraph: Daniel Rantzau (1529 – 11 November 1569) was a Danish-German general. He was known for his leadership during the Northern Seven Years' War. For some years, he fought in Germany and Italy, and also took part in the Danish conquest of Dithmarschen in western Holstein during 1559. Rantzau also seems to have been a clear pro-war spokesman before the outbreak of the Northern Seven Years' War with Sweden in 1563.

paragraph: Section::::The Northern Seven Years' War.

paragraph: Rantzau was born at Deutsch-Nienhof in Schleswig-Holstein. He studied at the University of Wittenberg. A distant relative of Johan Rantzau, Daniel Rantzau was raised in Holstein, and received a solid academic education but preferred a military career.

paragraph: At the start of the Northern Seven Years' War, Rantzau was a sub-commander with the rank of colonel but he distinguished himself in some minor struggles during the first fruitless years. In 1565, he was promoted to commander-in-chief, but his position was weak at the start due to a lack of results on the battlefield. However, in December of the same year Rantzau defeated the Swedish army during the Battle of Axtorna, an event which strengthened his position. During the following years, he successfully ravaged Swedish areas and established himself as the most able Danish military leader in spite of the lack of a breakthrough. However, a standing conflict about the pay of the soldiers created serious friction between the Danish noble officers and Peder Oxe, the Steward of the Realm.

paragraph: From 1567 to 1568, Rantzau carried off what is still considered his main military exploit, his Winter Campaign ("Vinterfälttåget") through Småland and Östergötland. During the campaign, he defeated some minor Swedish armies and after having given up an attack on Stockholm, saved his whole army during a risky but successful retreat across the frozen lake Sommen. The campaign had no real military results but shook the Swedish defense. In November 1569, during an attack on Swedish-occupied Varberg Fortress in Halland, Rantzau was killed by a cannonball.

paragraph: Section::::Legacy.

paragraph: Today, although quite overshadowed by his relative Johan Rantzau in public memory, Daniel Rantzau is considered the more brilliant tactician of the two. Military historians in general regard him as one of the few first-rate military leaders of the war from 1563-70.

paragraph: Carl Reinhold Roth

paragraph: Carl Reinhold Roth was a Swedish businessman and ironmaster who lived during the late 17th to mid 18th century. He is best known as the first ironmaster named Roth at the ironworks in Ludvika, Sweden. Reinhold was in his time one of Stockholm's more prominent businessmen. He also owned Sunnansjö ironworks and estate, and Skogsegen (Judge Hörneåfor’s ironworks in Västerbotten), devoted himself to the nascent sawmill industry, and was ship-owner of the Augusta (named for his second wife).

paragraph: Section::::Early life.

paragraph: Reinhold was born November 18, 1797 in Lower Fösked. His career began in Stockholm, where he was employed by the merchant's firm Netterblad & Åbom. After some time he moved to Vij Ironworks in Ockelbo where his future father in law, John Alexis Atkins, was a famous Ironmaster. Carl Reinhold married the first time on Wednesday, September 14, 1825 to Johanna Sophia Wilhelmina Atkins. She probably died in childbirth because records show her daughter was born and died almost simultaneously. Mother and daughter are buried in the cemetery in Ockelbo. After John Atkins’ death in 1826, Reinhold took over as Ironmaster. In 1827 he married again to Augusta Jacobina Setterwall, a merchant's daughter from Stockholm, and in 1831 established himself as a merchant there.

paragraph: Section::::Later life.

paragraph: In 1836 he and Fredrik Langenberg each bought a third of from Wetter Anders Dahl. In 1841 Reinhold was able to purchase the remaining third and then owned ⅔ of the Ironworks. The final third of the mill was bought by his children from Langenberg's heirs after Carl Reinhold’s death in 1858.

paragraph: Carl participated as a member of Borgerskapet (Burgher / merchant social class) in the 1847-48 Riksdag (parliament). He was one of 50 most senior and, in the 1856 Riksdag, was the eldest. He was also a member of St. Mary Magdalene parish church council.

paragraph: Charles I of Albret

paragraph: Charles d'Albret (December 1368 – 25 October 1415) was Constable of France from 1402 until 1411, and again from 1413 until 1415. He was also the co-commander of the French army at the Battle of Agincourt where he was killed by the English forces led by King Henry V.

paragraph: Section::::Biography.

paragraph: Charles was born into an old Gascon family, the son of Arnaud, Lord of Albret, and Margaret de Bourbon. He served under Bertrand du Guesclin as a young man and fought at the battle of Roosebeke. He was made the constable of France by Charles VI in 1403, but dismissed when the Burgundian faction gained power at court. He was restored to his office in 1413 when the Armagnac faction regained power. An important figure at the French court, he is the subject of two of Christine de Pizan's "Autres Ballades" (#2 and #3).

paragraph: Although nominal commander of the French army in the Agincourt campaign together with Marshal Boucicaut, the two professional soldiers could not exercise effective control over the higher-ranking French nobles on the day of the battle. Constable d'Albret was killed at Agincourt during the battle on 25 October 1415, against the English troops led by King Henry V. He was interred at the Friary church in Hesdin.

paragraph: Section::::In culture.

paragraph: Constable Charles d'Albret plays a significant role in William Shakespeare's play "Henry V", as one of the leading enemies of the English. As he does not die on stage, his death is portrayed in very different ways in film adaptations of the play. Constable d'Albret was portrayed by Leo Genn in the 1944 film "Henry V". The film sets up d'Albret as the most military worthy of the French warriors, but with a sneering manner and a "fierce and inhuman appearance" in black armour with a pointed visor. He is killed in single combat with Henry, played by Laurence Olivier. His distinctive black armour is later taken and worn by Ancient Pistol.

paragraph: He is played by Richard Easton in the 1989 film "Henry V". Constable d'Albret's death at Agincourt is vividly depicted in the film which starred Kenneth Branagh in the title role. He is rescued mortally wounded from the muddy battlefield, only to die in shamed despair among other shocked French aristocrats.

paragraph: In the 2012 TV film of "Henry V", concluding the series "The Hollow Crown", he is played by Maxime Lefrancois. His death is portrayed in an unheroic light. In a wood away from the main action, he stabs the Duke of York in the back during the final stages of the conflict, only to be shot in the back by a longbowman as he prepares to kill the only witness, a young page. The page is later revealed to be the Chorus, remembering the events as an old man after the disasters of Henry VI's reign.

paragraph: Max Adrian

paragraph: Max Adrian (1 November 1903 – 19 January 1973) was a Northern Irish stage, film and television actor and singer. He was a founding member of both the Royal Shakespeare Company and the National Theatre.

paragraph: In addition to his success as a character actor in classical drama, he was known for his work as a singer and comic actor in revue and musicals, and in one-man shows about George Bernard Shaw and Gilbert and Sullivan, and in cinema and television films, notably Ken Russell's "Song of Summer" as the ailing composer Delius. His voice and acting style were distinctive: "The Times" referred to his "Osric-like elaborations of manner", and his voice "like no other heard on the English stage of his day, vestigially Irish and harshly attractive."

paragraph: Section::::Biography.

paragraph: Section::::Biography.:Early years.

paragraph: Adrian was born in Enniskillen, County Fermanagh, Ireland, the son of Edward Norman Cavendish Bor and Mabel Lloyd Thornton. He was educated at the Portora Royal School, Enniskillen, whose past pupils also included Oscar Wilde and Samuel Beckett.

paragraph: Adrian began his career as a chorus boy at a silent moving-picture house, coming on as part of the chorus line while the reels were being changed. He made his stage debut in the chorus of "Katja the Dancer" in 1925. He then toured with "Lady Be Good" and "The Blue Train". He made his West End debut in "The Squall" at the Globe Theatre in December 1927. After working with Tod Slaughter's company at Peterborough, he joined the weekly rep in Northampton, where he took some forty roles a year. He made further West End appearances in "The Best of Both Worlds" at the Players' Theatre in 1930, "The Glass Wall" at the Embassy Theatre in 1933, "First Episode" by Terence Rattigan and Philip Heimann at the Comedy Theatre in 1934 (later toured in the UK and then transferred to Broadway, "This Desirable Residence" at the Embassy in 1935, and "England Expects", also at the Embassy in 1934. "The Times" described his performance in the last as "a gilded habitué of the backstairs" as outstanding.

paragraph: Section::::Biography.:Classical roles and revue.

paragraph: Adrian first achieved wide public notice in a nine-month season at the Westminster Theatre from September 1938, as Pandarus in a modern dress "Troilus and Cressida" and Sir Ralph Bloomfield Bonnington in "The Doctor's Dilemma", winning enthusiastic notices from the critics: "Mr Max Adrian triumphantly turns Pandarus into a chattering and repulsive fribble of the glossily squalid night-club type"; "The egregious 'B.B.'... is a great piece of fun, and Mr. Max Adrian rightly draws him with all possible exuberance of line."

paragraph: Adrian joined the Old Vic company in 1939, playing the Dauphin in Shaw's "Saint Joan", "a beautifully malicious study in slyness, effeminacy, meanness, and a curious lost, inverted dignity." He continued classical work with John Gielgud's company at the Haymarket Theatre (1944–45), where he appeared as Puck in "A Midsummer Night's Dream", Osric in "Hamlet", and Tattle in William Congreve's "Love for Love".

paragraph: Away from the classics, he played the Scarecrow in "The Wizard of Oz" at the Phoenix Theatre in 1943. In 1947, at the Lyric Theatre, Hammersmith, Adrian began performing in a series of revues ("Tuppence Coloured", "Oranges and Lemons", "Penny Plain", "Airs on a Shoestring", "From Here to There," and "Fresh Airs") in which he played more than 2,000 performances, and established himself, in Sheridan Morley's words, "as a superlative – if eccentric – light comedian." Fellow performers in the revues included Joyce Grenfell, Rose Hill and Elisabeth Welch. Contributors included Michael Flanders, Donald Swann and Alan Melville, and the producer was Laurier Lister, who became Adrian's lifelong partner. Adrian's musical numbers included "Prehistoric Complaint" (as a misfit caveman), "Excelsior" (as a put-upon Sherpa), "Guide to Britten" (as a manic conductor), "In the D'Oyly Cart ["sic"]" (as a jaded Gilbert and Sullivan performer), and "Surly Girls" (as headmistress of St. Trinian's).

paragraph: When revue became less popular in the mid-1950s, Adrian went to America in 1956 to appear as Dr. Pangloss and Martin in Leonard Bernstein's operetta "Candide" on Broadway. The original production was a failure, but the original cast recording has rarely been out of the catalogues in the subsequent half century. He remained in the U.S., working in summer stock in roles as varied as Doolittle in "Pygmalion", Jourdain in "Le Bourgeois Gentilhomme", Shylock in "The Merchant of Venice", and Sir Peter Teazle in "The School for Scandal". He returned to London in 1959 to appear in Noël Coward's play "Look After Lulu!" in which he also later played on Broadway.

paragraph: In 1960, Adrian joined Peter Hall's newly formed Royal Shakespeare Company (RSC) in Stratford-upon-Avon, together with such actors as Peggy Ashcroft, Peter O'Toole and Diana Rigg. He played Jaques in "As You Like It", Feste in "Twelfth Night", Pandarus in "Troilus and Cressida", the Cardinal in John Webster's "The Duchess of Malfi", and Father Barré in "The Devils", as well as a range of smaller parts. He also starred with Dorothy Tutin, Richard Johnson and John Barton in "The Hollow Crown", an anthology of prose and verse about the monarchs of England, devised by Barton and frequently revived in later years.

paragraph: Adrian was one of the original members of Laurence Olivier's National Theatre Company at the Old Vic from 1963, and appeared as Polonius in the opening production of "Hamlet", in which Peter O'Toole played the Prince. "The Guardian" called his performance, "sly, dry, and not quite stuffy enough, but every sally from this character was touched with a look of great complicity towards the audience which made something special of this sometimes over-charged part." He then played

paragraph: the Inquisitor in "Saint Joan", Serebryakov in "Uncle Vanya", Balance in "The Recruiting Officer" and Brovik in "The Master Builder".

paragraph: Section::::Biography.:Solo shows and screen work.

paragraph: In the late 1960s, Adrian toured as George Bernard Shaw in the one-man show "An Evening with GBS", which played in London, on Broadway, and in Asia, Africa and Australia. "The Times" said that the show "presented a deeply understanding portrait... impish, malicious, playful, outrageous, affectionate, angry and almost always eloquent." His later one-man show about Gilbert and Sullivan was a lesser, but real, success.

paragraph: Adrian's first film was in 1934. He appeared in several British films in the 1940s, before playing the Dauphin in the Laurence Olivier production of "Henry V" (1944). He also appeared in "Dr. Terror's House of Horrors" (1965) as the vampire Dr Blake, "The Deadly Affair" (1966), and in several Ken Russell films: "The Music Lovers" (1970; as Anton Rubinstein), ""The Boy Friend"" (1971) and "The Devils" (1971).

paragraph: He was also featured in Russell's acclaimed award-winning 1968 Omnibus TV film "Song of Summer", as the blind and paralysed composer Frederick Delius. Adrian once said that, of all the roles he had ever played, he had never had such difficulty in ridding himself of involvement in a character as that of Delius in "Song of Summer".

paragraph: Also on television, he appeared in a 1957 adaptation of A. J. Cronin's novel "Beyond This Place", which was directed by Sidney Lumet. His other television work included the role of Senator Ludicrus Sextus in the first season of "Up Pompeii!" with Frankie Howerd (1969), Fagin in the 1962 dramatisation of "Oliver Twist", and parts in "The Baron", "Adam Adamant Lives!" and "Perry Mason". He also appeared in the "Doctor Who" story "The Myth Makers" as King Priam. He played the part of the Baron de Charlus in the BBC radio plays "Six Proust Reconstructions" by Pamela Hansford Johnson.

paragraph: Adrian died at age 69 from a heart attack, at his and Lister's home, Smarkham Orchard, Shamley Green, near Guildford, Surrey, after returning from the television studios where he had been recording Bertolt Brecht's "The Caucasian Chalk Circle" for the BBC. At his memorial service, at which the Oxford Dictionary of National Biography said the great names of British theatre paid tribute to Max Adrian's style and professionalism, the lessons were read by Alec Guinness and Laurence Olivier and the eulogy was given by Joyce Grenfell.

paragraph: Liu Bowen

paragraph: Liu Ji (July 1, 1311 — May 16, 1375), courtesy name Bowen, better known as Liu Bowen, was a Chinese military strategist, philosopher, statesman and poet who lived in the late Yuan and early Ming dynasties. He was born in Qingtian County (present-day Wencheng County, Wenzhou, Zhejiang). He served as a key advisor to Zhu Yuanzhang (the Hongwu Emperor), the founder of the Ming dynasty, in the latter's struggle to overthrow the Yuan dynasty and unify China under his rule. Liu is also known for his prophecies and has been described as the "Divine Chinese Nostradamus". He and Jiao Yu co-edited the military treatise known as the "Huolongjing" ("Fire Dragon Manual").

paragraph: Section::::Career.

paragraph: Liu served under Zhu Yuanzhang's rebellion against the Mongol-led Yuan dynasty in China, which had ruled since the conquest of the Southern Song dynasty in 1279. He dabbled in many fields of statecraft, philosophy, scholarly works, and technology. His philosophical outlook was that of a skeptical naturalist, and he became interested in astronomy, calendrical science, magnetism, and fengshui. He was known to be a friendly associate of the mathematician and alchemist Zhao Yuqin, and collaborated with the contemporary general and scholar Jiao Yu to edit and compile the military-technology treatise of the "Huolongjing", which outlined the use of various gunpowder weapons. He was very interested in the latter, and once said that "thunder is like fire shot from a cannon".

paragraph: Section::::Career.:Early service under the Yuan dynasty.

paragraph: Liu sat for the imperial examination and obtained the position of a "jinshi" (successful candidate) in the final years of the Yuan dynasty. He spent much of his early career attempting to save the Yuan dynasty from collapse. He served the Yuan dynasty as an official for 25 years, gaining a reputation for integrity and honesty, and became known as a distinguished scholar and strategist. In 1348, he was appointed to a military position and assigned to put down a southern rebellion against the dynasty. The leader of the rebellion attempted to save himself by offering Liu a bribe. When Liu refused, the rebel went to Beijing and succeeded in bribing his way into favour there.

paragraph: Once the secessionist had bribed his way into the regime's favour, he was given a public office and a salary. Liu's relationship with the Yuan government deteriorated after this event. He attempted to resign twice, in 1349 and 1352. He was demoted in 1358, and finally left service to retire in his ancestral homeland. In 1360, Liu was introduced to Zhu Yuanzhang, a former leader of a radical White Lotus rebellion who was then the leader of a broad anti-Yuan rebellion.

paragraph: Section::::Career.:Service to Zhu Yuanzhang.

paragraph: Liu served not only in the administration of Zhu Yuanzhang, but also in many battles as a commanding officer on land and water, leading the early Ming naval forces. Zhu Yuanzhang placed Liu in charge of the campaign to conquer all of Zhejiang from Yuan forces. Liu was also responsible for military ventures against opposing Chinese rebel groups, as well as the "wokou". His forces owed much of their success to the use of the medieval Chinese firearm known as the fire lance. It was during this period that he wrote the books "Extraordinary Strategies of a Hundred Battles" ("百戰奇略") and "Eighteen Strategies and Affairs" ("時務十八策"). Later in the rebellion, Zhu Yuanzhang only rarely relied on Liu to personally command his armies in the field, as he acquired other capable generals, including Xu Da, Deng Yu and Chang Yuchun. Liu was most often consulted for his strategic advice during this period.

paragraph: In 1368, after eight years of Liu's service, Zhu Yuanzhang unified China. When Zhu founded the Ming dynasty and became historically known as the Hongwu Emperor, Liu was one of his most trusted advisors, but the relationship between Liu and the emperor eventually deteriorated in a manner similar to the way that Liu had become estranged from the Yuan government. In 1375, Liu rejected a man, Hu Weiyong, for appointment to high office. Hu Weiyong later obtained an audience with the Hongwu Emperor and slandered Liu by telling the emperor that Liu was plotting to establish his own power. After convincing the emperor of Liu's treachery, Liu was ejected from office, and Hu Weiyong was promoted.

paragraph: Section::::Career.:Death.

paragraph: The shock and shame of being groundlessly dismissed from office destroyed Liu's health, and he quickly died. Within five years of Liu's death, the man who had slandered Liu to achieve office (Hu Weiyong) was himself suspected of plotting against the Hongwu Emperor. In the subsequent orgy of the emperor's paranoid efforts to root out conspiracy, 30,000–40,000 people were executed.

paragraph: The precise cause of Liu's death is considered uncertain by modern scholars. Some scholars believe that Liu was poisoned by the Hongwu Emperor himself, not because Liu failed his duty, but because the emperor was envious and even fearful of his knowledge and influence. Other sources have pointed out that the Hongwu Emperor did kill many people shortly after Liu lost his official position, but they are uncertain about whether Liu was part of this group.

paragraph: Section::::Prophecy.

paragraph: Liu's most famous prophecy to Zhu Yuanzhang, written down in a lyrical style, is called the "Shaobing Song" (燒餅歌). The poem is written in cryptic verse and is difficult to understand. Some people believe that the "Shaobing Song" has predicted future events in China, including the 1449 Mongol invasion, and the 1911 founding of the Republic of China.

paragraph: Section::::Biographical works.

paragraph: Liu's official biography is found in the 128th volume of the "History of Ming", which was written by Zhang Tingyu and others in the Qing dynasty. The author Chong Tai also wrote a biography on him.

paragraph: Section::::In popular culture.

paragraph: "Shenji Miaosuan Liu Bowen" (), a 404 episodes long television drama about Liu, was aired in Taiwan on TTV from 23 August 2006 to 12 March 2008, starring Taiwanese actor Huang Shaoqi (黃少祺) as Liu.
