paragraph: Seru Epenisa Cakobau

paragraph: Ratu Seru Epenisa Cakobau (; occasionally spelled "Cacobau" or phonetically "Thakombau") (c.1815 – 1 February 1883) was a Fijian Ratu and warlord ("Vunivalu") who united part of Fiji's warring tribes under his leadership, establishing a united Fijian kingdom.

paragraph: Section::::Background.

paragraph: He was born to Ratu Tanoa Visawaqa, and one of his nine wives, Adi Savusavu.

paragraph: The Vunivalu and the Roko Tui Bau (sacred chieftain) had had many power struggles during the course of nearly a century. These struggles led to the death of Seru's paternal uncle, the Vunivalu of Bau, Naulivou Ramatenikutu and the installation of Tanoa as Vunivalu. However, after he slew the Roko Tui Bau, Ratu Raiwalui, near Vanua Balavu, amongst other murders and reprisals, Tanoa was exiled in 1832.

paragraph: Ratu Seru Cakobau was born on Nairai Island but raised on Gau Island. In his early twenties, he returned to Bau. He subsequently gained power in 1837 when he persuaded the Lasakau people to overthrow the Roko Tui Bau Vuani-ivi clan led by Ratu Ravulo Vakayaliyalo. Seru then reinstated his father as the ruling Vunivalu in Bau.

paragraph: He married two sisters, Adi Litia (Lydia) Samanunu and Adi Salote (Charlotte) Qalirea Kaunilotuna (daughters of the Roko Tui Bau).

paragraph: Mary Wallis provided a description of him after meeting with him on 7 December 1844: "He is tall, rather good looking, appears fully aware of his consequence, and is not destitute of dignity. He wore an enormous quantity of hair on his head and several yards of native cloth around his body..."

paragraph: Seru was given the name "Cikinovu" ("Centipede"), "because he moved silently and struck painfully". Later, he was called "Cakobau" ("destroyer of Bau"), because he had destroyed what was Bau; but Seru also built a new Bau, under the supremacy of the Vunivalu. After he converted to Christianity, he took additional name of Epenisa (Ebenezer).

paragraph: Section::::Rise to power.

paragraph: On 8 December 1852, Cakobau succeeded as Vunivalu of Bau.

paragraph: Cakobau, a former cannibal, was converted to Christianity by the missionary James Calvert and renounced cannibalism in 1854.

paragraph: Claiming that Bau had suzerainty over the remainder of Fiji, he asserted that he was, in fact, the King of Fiji. However, Cakobau's claim was not accepted by other chiefs, who regarded him, at best, as the first among equals. Cakobau consequently engaged in constant warfare for almost nineteen years to unify the islands under his authority.

paragraph: The last, brief rebellion of chiefs against Cakobau's rule culminated in the Battle of Kaba (a village in Bau Tikina, next to Bau Island). Cakobau crushed the rebellion with the aid of the King of Tonga. Having become a Christian, Cakobau on the battlefield pardoned all the captives; in accordance with pagan Fijian customs, the defeated men would have been ceremonially humiliated, killed, and eaten.

paragraph: On 8 May 1865, a Confederacy of Independent Kingdoms of Viti was established (comprising Bau, Bua, Cakaudrove, Lakeba, Macuata, Naduri), with Cakobau as Chairman of the General Assembly. Two years later, however, the confederacy split into the Kingdom of Bau and the Confederation of Lau (comprising Bua, Cakaudrove, Lau), with Cakobau assuming kingship of the former.

paragraph: Supported by foreign settlers, he finally succeeded in creating a united Fijian kingdom in 1871, and established Levuka as his capital. He decided to set up a constitutional monarchy, and the first legislative assembly met in November of that year. Both the legislature and the Cabinet were dominated by foreigners.

paragraph: Section::::Cession of power.

paragraph: The United States government had recognised Cakobau's claim to kingship over a united Fijian nation, long before his claims were accepted by his fellow chiefs. In the long term, however, this was not to count in his favour. The American government held him responsible for an arson attack against the Nukulau Island home of John Brown William, the American Consul, in 1849 (before Cakobau was even the Vunivalu, let alone King), and demanded $44,000 compensation. Unable to pay the debt caused by the Rewan Chiefs, and fearing an American invasion and annexation, Cakobau decided to cede the islands to the United Kingdom.

paragraph: Cakobau retained his position as Fiji's second most senior chief the title of Vunivalu of Bau, and formally ceded the highest and most precedent Chiefly title of Tui Viti or Paramount Chief of Fiji to the person of Her Majesty Queen Victoria. This title continued to be held by her descendants, until the de-establishment of the Great Council of Chiefs on 14 March 2012, making Elizabeth II the last Paramount Chief. He lived quietly until his death on 1 February 1883.

paragraph: Section::::Legacy.

paragraph: Several of Fiji's leading figures were direct descendants of Cakobau. His great-grandson, Ratu Sir George Cakobau, served as Fiji's first native-born Governor-General from 1973 to 1983. Ratu Sir Kamisese Mara, modern Fiji's first Prime Minister and second President, was also a descendant of Cakobau's. Ratu Epeli Nailatikau, the grandson of Cakobau's daughter Adi Litia Cakobau, became President of Fiji in 2009. A number of other political figures are also descendants of Cakobau, including Roko Tupou Draunidalo, President of the National Federation Party and a Member of Parliament since 2014.

paragraph: Jef Denyn

paragraph: Jef Denyn (1862–1941) was a carillon player from Mechelen, Belgium. He originally studied to be an engineer. His carilloning career started in 1881 when his father, the official carilloneer of Mechelen, went blind and became unable to play. This caused Denyn to take over. In 1887 Denyn was recognised for his skills and officially appointed to the same position his father had held. He used his engineering knowledge to vastly improve the technology surrounding carillons, which is now used all over Europe and the United States. In 1922, he founded the world's first and most renowned international higher institute of campanology, later named after him, the Royal Carillon School "Jef Denyn" (Dutch: "Koninklijke Beiaardschool "Jef Denyn"") in Mechelen.

paragraph: During the First World War, he, his wife Helene, son and four daughters were among those Belgian refugees who fled to England. The Denyn family were taken in by organist and musicologist William Wooding Starmer (1866-1927) in his house in Tunbridge Wells.

paragraph: Saint Abraham the Great of Kidunja (or Kidunaja) (died c. 366) was a hermit and priest of the Christian Church.

paragraph: Section::::Biography.

paragraph: The "Vita" of St. Abraham was written by his friend, St. Ephrem.

paragraph: Abraham was born to a wealthy family near Edessa, during the third century. After receiving an excellent education, Abraham was encouraged to get married. He followed the wishes of his parents, but shortly before the wedding ceremony, he told his bride his desire to dedicate his life to God. His bride accepted this resolution and Abraham retired to a cell near the city, where he walled up the cell door, leaving only a small window open for food to be brought him.

paragraph: Ten years after he retreated from the world, his parents died, leaving Abraham a wealthy man. He had the inheritance distributed to the poor. Abraham became known throughout the region as a holy man and many came to him for guidance. Reports of his reputation came to the bishop of Edessa who ordained him a priest and sent Abraham to Beth-Kidunaa. When Abraham destroyed the pagan idols and altars, the outraged townspeople drove him away. Abraham would return and urge them to give up their superstitions, and be driven out again. Eventually his persistence began to yield results.

paragraph: Abraham worked among them for the three years, when fearing that he would begin to desire material possessions he returned to his cell near Edessa where he spent the next fifty years in prayer and penance. He was known never to reprove anyone sharply but always with charity and gentleness.

paragraph: Around the year 360 Abraham died at the age of seventy after a long life of service to God.

paragraph: Curt von Bardeleben

paragraph: Curt von Bardeleben (4 March 1861 in Berlin – in Berlin) was a German chess master, journalist, and member of the German nobility.

paragraph: Section::::Biography.

paragraph: Bardeleben was originally a student of law, but gave it up in order to become a professional chess player. He later quit competitive chess for four years to complete his law degree. He was described thus by Edward Lasker:

paragraph: He always wore a black cut-away suit of dubious vintage. Apparently he could never spare enough money to buy a new suit, although I learned one day that at fairly regular intervals he received comparatively large sums – from one to several thousand marks – through the simple expedient of marrying, and shortly after, divorcing, some lady who craved the distinction of his noble name and was willing to pay for it. Unfortunately, when he received his reward, it was usually far exceeded by the amount of the debts he had accumulated since his last divorce. Evil tongues had it that the number of the ladies involved in these brief marital interludes had grown so alarmingly that they could easily have made up a Sultan's harem.

paragraph: Bardeleben tied for first place with Riemann at Leipzig 1888, tied for first place with Walbrodt at Kiel 1893, was first at Berlin (SV Centrum) 1897, and tied for first place with Schlechter and Swiderski at Coburg 1904. He edited the magazine "Deutsche Schachzeitung" from 1887 through 1891.

paragraph: Bardeleben seemingly committed suicide by jumping out of a window in 1924. According to one obituary, however, he fell out by accident.

paragraph: His life and death were the basis for that of the main character in the novel "The Defense" by Vladimir Nabokov, which was made into the movie "The Luzhin Defence".

paragraph: Section::::Game.

paragraph: Bardeleben is perhaps best known for the game he lost to the former world champion Wilhelm Steinitz at Hastings 1895, especially because he just walked out of the tournament room instead of resigning. Although he was sharing the second place in the tournament before this game (7.5 in 9 rounds, Mikhail Chigorin had the lead with 8), he achieved only 4 points in the final 12 rounds. The game against Steinitz:

paragraph: Louisiana Red

paragraph: Iverson Minter (March 23, 1932 – February 25, 2012), known as Louisiana Red, was an African-American blues guitarist, harmonica player, and singer, who recorded more than 50 albums. He was best known for his song "Sweet Blood Call".

paragraph: Section::::Biography.

paragraph: Born in Bessemer, Alabama, Minter lost his parents early in life; his mother died of pneumonia shortly after his birth, and his father was lynched by the Ku Klux Klan in 1937. He was brought up by a series of relatives in various towns and cities. Red recorded for Chess in 1949, before joining the Army. He was trained as a parachutist with the 82nd Airborne and was sent to Korea in 1951. The 82nd Airborne was not deployed as a complete unit in Korea, but soldiers from this unit were dispatched as Rangers in the 2nd, 3rd and 7th Infantry Divisions. Minter said he was assigned to the 3rd Infantry Division.

paragraph: After leaving the Army, he played with John Lee Hooker in Detroit for two years in the late 1950s. He recorded for Checker Records in 1952, billed as Rocky Fuller.

paragraph: His first album, "Lowdown Back Porch Blues", was recorded in New York with Tommy Tucker and released in 1963. His second album, "Seventh Son", was released later the same year. Louisiana Red released the single "I'm Too Poor to Die" for the Glover label in 1964. It peaked at number 117 on the "Billboard" Hot 100 and number 30 on the "Cashbox" chart. ("Billboard" did not publish an R&B chart in 1964.)

paragraph: He maintained a busy recording and performing schedule through the 1960s and 1970s, working in sessions for Chess, Checker, Atlas, Glover, Roulette, L&R and Tomato, amongst others. In 1983 he won a W. C. Handy Award for Best Traditional Blues Male Artist. He lived in Hanover, Germany, from 1981.

paragraph: He appeared in the films "Rockpalast" (1976), "Comeback" (1982), "Ballhaus Barmbek" (1988), "Red and Blues" (2005) and "Family Meeting" (2008).

paragraph: In 1994, Louisiana Red fused the blues with the urban Greek music of the bouzouki player Stelios Vamvakaris, on the album "Blues Meets Rembetika". He continued to tour, including regular returns to the United States, until his death. In 2011, Louisiana Red released the album "Memphis Mojo", to broad public acclaim.

paragraph: Section::::Death.

paragraph: Michael Messer noted on February 25, 2012, "I am very sorry to be bringer of such sad news that my dear friend, Louisiana Red, died this morning. He had a stroke on Monday and had been in a coma." He died in Hanover, aged 79.

paragraph: Jim Van Pelt

paragraph: James S. Van Pelt (born November 11, 1935) is a former American and Canadian Football player. He played at the quarterback position for the University of Michigan from 1955 to 1957. He played for the Winnipeg Blue Bombers in the Canadian Football League in 1958 and 1959. He led the Blue Bombers to consecutive Grey Cup championships and set league records with seven touchdown passes in a game, a 107-yard touchdown pass, and 22 points scored in the 1958 Grey Cup championship game. His professional football career ended in 1960 when he was drafted into the United States Air Force for a three-year term of service.

paragraph: Section::::Early years.

paragraph: Van Pelt attended Evanston Township High School. He was Evanston's starting quarterback in his junior and senior years (1952 and 1953), and has been inducted into the Evanston Township High School Athletic Hall of Fame.

paragraph: Section::::University of Michigan.

paragraph: After graduating from high school, Van Pelt enrolled at the University of Michigan in 1954. He played in the quarterback position in 22 games for Michigan during the 1955, 1956 and 1957 football seasons. He was the starting quarterback for the 1957 Michigan Wolverines football team that opened the season 4-1, including a victory over USC, but finished with a 5-3-1 record. In Michigan's four wins in the first half of the 1957 season, Van Pelt completed 21 of 31 passes for 315 yards and three touchdowns. Prior to the 1957 Northwestern game, Van Pelt was bed-ridden with the flu, but despite the illness, he led the Wolverines to a 34-14 win. Van Pelt completed three of four passes in the game for 66 yards and two touchdowns, including a 45-yard touchdown pass to Gary Prahst. He also ran for a touchdown and successfully kicked three extra points. In a 24-7 win over Minnesota, Van Pelt was responsible for 18 of Michigan's points as he threw two touchdown passes (including a 37-yard completion to Bowers), kicked a field goal and added three extra points.

paragraph: In his final game for Michigan, Van Pelt passed for 106 yards (including a 33-yard touchdown pass to Brad Myers), the highest single-game total during his three years Michigan career. However, it was not enough as Ohio State beat Michigan, 31-14.

paragraph: After the 1957 season, Van Pelt played in two post-season all-star games. He played in the North–South Shrine Game at the Orange Bowl in Miami, Florida, throwing a touchdown pass for the winning North team. In January 1958, he also played in the Senior Bowl in Mobile, Alabama.

paragraph: In three years at Michigan, Maddock completed 66 of 134 passes for 989 yards, ten touchdowns and five interceptions. He also had two rushing touchdowns and one receiving touchdown.

paragraph: Section::::Professional football.

paragraph: Van Pelt was selected by the Washington Redskins in the fifth round (55th overall pick) of the 1958 NFL Draft. Instead of playing in the NFL, Van Pelt signed a contract in February 1958 to play for the Winnipeg Blue Bombers. In his rookie season, Van Pelt began the season playing principally as a defensive halfback, but he got the chance to start at quarterback when Kenny Ploen was injured. He played so well in place of Ploen that he won the job as Winnipeg's starting quarterback. Van Pelt also handled placekicking for the Bombers. He set a Canadian Football League record with a 107-yard touchdown pass to Ernie Pitts during a 1958 game against Calgary.

paragraph: Van Pelt led the Blue Bombers to the Grey Cup championship. He scored a record 22 points (two touchdowns, two field goals and four extra points) in the 1958 Grey Cup championship game, as the Blue Bombers defeated the Hamilton Tiger-Cats 35-28. Van Pelt's first touchdown came on a trick play when he pitched the ball to halfback Leo Lewis and then took a pass from Lewis to run untouched 29 yards into the end zone. His second touchdown was a game-winning touchdown in the fourth quarter—a one-yard run that gave the Bombers a 35-28 lead. In its game coverage, "The Montreal Gazette" reported:

paragraph: Jimmy Van Pelt, a freshman import quarterback from the University of Michigan was the producer, director and principal actor in Winnipeg's unexpected decision over the defending champions. He scored 22 points for a new Grey Cup record. ... Van Pelt took over as the stream-lined Grey Cup hero ... the country's national football pin-up boy. The Flying Dutchman grabbed a surprise pass from Leo Lewis for one touchdown, plunged over center from one yard out for another.

paragraph: During the 1958 season, Van Pelt completed 90 of 160 passes for 1,445 yards, nine touchdowns and ten interceptions.

paragraph: In August 1959, Van Pelt dislocated a bone in his left hand during an exhibition game featuring a rematch of the Grey Cup championship game between Winnipeg and Hamilton. Despite the injury, Van Pelt was the starting quarterback in Winnipeg's season opener against the British Columbia Lions. Wearing a cast on his left wrist, Van Pelt scored 27 points as he threw three touchdown passes with his right hand, rushed for a fourth touchdown and kicked a field goal. Van Pelt led the Winnipeg team to another western division championship in 1959, but he suffered a shoulder separation late in the season. Before suffering the injury, Van Pelt was having the best year of his career. During the 1959 season, he completed 160 of 300 passes for 2,706 yards, 31 touchdowns and 15 interceptions. He also set a Western Conference record by throwing seven touchdown passes in a single game against the Saskatchewan Roughriders.

paragraph: Winnipeg coach Bud Grant noted, "Until Van Pelt was injured, I was pretty sure we had a better team than the 1958 champions. ... For 32 games Van Pelt played 99 percent of the time at quarterback. ... Before he was injured Jim had the team moving real well." Winnipeg went on to win its second consecutive Grey Cup championship with Kenny Ploen playing quarterback in the championship game.

paragraph: Van Pelt's football career was cut short when he was drafted into the United States Air Force in the summer of 1960 for a three-year period of service.

paragraph: In November 1962, Van Pelt, then a lieutenant in the U.S. Air Force, watched the Blue Bombers defend their Grey Cup championship as the guest of the club. Winnipeg general manager Jim Ausley would have Van Pelt back "if he wants to play football again."

paragraph: In June 1963, Van Pelt announced that he would not resume his football career after his discharge from the Air Force. Van Pelt said he planned to take an accounting job in Chicago. In an interview with the "Winnipeg Tribune", he explained, "My wife and I talked it over for a long time and decided the job in Chicago was the best move."

paragraph: Lieutenant-General Sir Robert Boyd KB (c. 1710 – 13 May 1794) was a British Army officer.

paragraph: Section::::Life.

paragraph: Boyd was baptized on 20 April 1710 at Richmond, Surrey and attended the University of Glasgow before entering the army in his father Ninian's profession of civilian storekeeper. In 1756 he served at the Siege of Minorca, and attempted to reach Admiral John Byng's fleet in an open boat with a message from the besieged garrison commander, William Blakeney. Boyd was a witness at the subsequent court-martial at which Byng was tried for the loss of the garrison.

paragraph: He subsequently became commissary general to the Marquess of Granby in Germany (1758 to 1759); he then rose through the officer ranks to be three-times Governor of Gibraltar (1776 to 1777, 1790 and 1790 to 1794). Boyd considered that his and General Sir William Green's work on the King's Bastion in Gibraltar was so important that he asked to be buried there. The site of his burial is not indicated but his body is lost under cement used to strengthen the building still further in the 19th century. A memorial stone was placed within the King's Chapel but the marble stone in the King's Bastion read:

paragraph: Martim Soares Moreno

paragraph: Martim Soares Moreno, born around 1586 in Santiago do Cacém, Kingdom of Portugal, was a Portuguese explorer who defended the interests of the Portuguese crown in the colony of Brazil, fighting French pirates and Dutch invaders during decades.

paragraph: His uncle, Diogo de Campos Moreno says that "he was sent very young with Pêro Coelho de Sousa, so that while serving in that expedition he could learn the language of the Indians, and their customs, devoting himself to them, and making himself very familiar, and a relative or friend to them, as they say." He participated in the Pêro Coelho expedition to Ceará in 1603 and ended up becoming, years later (1612), the virtual founder of that colony. There he built, on the river Ceará, a fort and a chapel, with the help of the Indians that he brought from Rio Grande do Norte.

paragraph: That same year, on the orders of Jerónimo de Albuquerque Maranhão, he reconnoitered Maranhão, occupied by the French, who had stirred up the people of that land. On his return, however, his ship was driven by the wind to the Antilles. In 1614 he was in Seville, in Spain.

paragraph: The next year, now a captain, he returned to Maranhão, together with reinforcements of 900 men, which made possible the definitive expulsion of the French and the capture of the city of São Luís. In 1616 he was captured on the high seas by a French Corsair, after a violent battle that left him seriously wounded with a cut on the face and the loss of a hand.

paragraph: The charter letter of May 26, 1619 made him lord of the captaincy of Ceará, in thanks for his services. There, in 1624 and 1625, he repelled the attacks of two Dutch ships.

paragraph: In 1630 he dedicated himself to fighting the Dutch invasion of Pernambuco. He left Ceará with a few Indians and soldiers and arrived at the Arraial do Bom Jesus in June 1631. In the initial phase of the fight, he took part in the blockade of the Dutch forces in Recife and Olinda. He always distinguished himself, as a combatant and interpreter with the Indians. In subsequent years he took part in the defense of Paraíba and of Cunhaú (in Rio Grande do Norte).

paragraph: The Dutch having defeated the Portuguese colonial resistance, and the Portuguese Monarchy having been restored in 1640, a truce was signed between Portugal and the Netherlands. Nevertheless, in 1645, Martim Soares Moreno took part in the clandestine movement that ended with the expulsion of the Dutch from Brazilian territory.

paragraph: Section::::In culture.

paragraph: His life served as the historical basis for José de Alencar's novel Iracema.

paragraph: Kabukidō Enkyō

paragraph: Kabukidō Enkyō (, fl. ) was a Japanese artist who designed ukiyo-e woodblock prints. Nothing is known of Enkyō's life, and only seven of his works are known, all of which are "ōkubi yakusha-e", bust portrait prints of kabuki actors. Scholars divide them into two groups based on differences in the signatures, and the second group appears to be a set, as the prints depict three brothers from the same play. Enkyō's identity has been subject to speculation: a student of Sharaku's, even Sharaku himself, or a kyōgen playwright.

paragraph: Section::::Background.

paragraph: Ukiyo-e art flourished in Japan during the Edo period from the 17th to 19th centuries. Its subjects were of the courtesans, kabuki actors, and others associated with the "ukiyo" hedonistic "floating world" lifestyle of the pleasure districts. Mass-produced woodblock prints were a major form of the genre. After the mid-18th century, full-colour "" prints became common, printed with a large number of woodblocks, one for each colour. Shunshō of the Katsukawa school introduced the "ōkubi-e" "large-headed picture" in the 1760s. He and his school soon popularized "ōkubi yakusha-e", prints of actors from kabuki, a flamboyant theatrical form that enjoyed popularity with the masses.

paragraph: The enigmatic print designer Sharaku's works are amongst ukiyo-e's best known. They began to appear suddenly in 1794. Sharaku introduced a greater level of realism into his "yakusha-e" prints that emphasized the differences between the actor and the portrayed character. The expressive, contorted faces he depicted contrasted sharply with the serene, mask-like faces more common to artists such as Harunobu or Utamaro. Sharaku's work found resistance, and in 1795 his output ceased as mysteriously as it had appeared; his identity is still unknown. Kabukidō Enkyō's "ōkubi yakusha-e" appeared sixteen months after Sharaku's work ceased. Nothing is known of Enkyō's life or identity beyond the bare fact that he flourished as an artist in Japan at the end of the eighteenth century.

paragraph: Section::::Works.

paragraph: Enkyō appears not to have been a prolific artist. Seven portraits were confirmed as Enkyō's in the early 20th century, and no further works have been discovered. The "ōban"-size "yakusha-e" woodblock print portraits of kabuki actors are all "ōkubi-e" bust portraits dated to . None bear a publisher's seal. Scholars divide them into two groups based on differences in the artist's seal.

paragraph: Section::::Works.:First group.

paragraph: The first group bears the seal "Kabukidō Enkyō Ga" (, "drawn by Kabukidō Enkyō") and is made up of:

paragraph: BULLET::::- "Ichikawa Omezō I" ( "")

paragraph: BULLET::::- "Ichikawa Yaozō III" ( "")

paragraph: BULLET::::- "Sawamura Sōjūrō III" ( "")

paragraph: BULLET::::- "Nakayama Tomisaburō I" ( "").

paragraph: "Ichikawa Omezō I" portrays a character from the kabuki play "Sumida no Haru Geisha Katagi" (1796). Enkyō's depiction of the warrior-like character invites comparison to , though they achieve different effects. Sharaku's has greater depth of expression, while Enkyō's simpler, more greatly exaggerated depiction with larger eyebrows leaves a strong immediate expression. Enkyō gives his Omezō a facetious expression and delineates his rounder features with a milder line. He colours the irises with thinned sumi ink, a technique Enkyō may have borrowed from Shun'ei, Toyokuni, and Kunimasa, who had introduced it about that time. Evidence of the effort put into the design can be inferred from other fine details such as touches of red on the earlobes and the colouring on the shaved part of the forehead.

paragraph: It has been suggested the "Ichikawa Yaozō III" portrait is of a key character in the play "Katakiuchi Noriyaibanashi" (1794). It uses thinned ink to colour the irises, and the composition appears to bear the influence of Sharaku in its attempt at greater realism. The positioning of Enkyō's "Nakayama Tomisaburō I", with the actor's hand on his collar, bears strong resemblance to in the role of Miyagino from "Katakiuchi Noriyaibanashi", suggesting Enkyō likely used Sharaku's print as a reference.

paragraph: Section::::Works.:Second group.

paragraph: The other three prints appear to make a set as they depict three brothers from the same episode of the same play. The set is made up of:

paragraph: BULLET::::- "Nakamura Nakazō II as Matsuōmaru" ( "")

paragraph: BULLET::::- "Ichikawa Yaozō III as Umeōmaru" ( "")

paragraph: BULLET::::- "Nakamura Noshio II as Sakuramaru" ( "")

paragraph: This set shows a stronger Toyokuni influence, rather than Sharaku; while basically striving for realism, there is an idealizing tendency in the rendering of the facial expressions. The prints depict actors in the roles of three brothers from the "Kuruma-biki" episode of the play "Sugawara Denju Tenarai Kagami" (1796). The scene depicts Umeōmaru and Sakuramaru waiting in ambush for . Their brother Matsuōmaru, who is loyal to Shihei, foils their plot. He appears in the portrait with a protruding beak-like noese and his hair brushed back at the sides. He wears a hat, carries a spear, and wears a check-patterned robe with a set of "h"-shaped "genji-mon" crests on them, indicating a chapter from the "Genji Monogatari". The "Nakamura Noshio II" has no seal, and the other two bear the seal "Kabukidō Ga" (, "drawn by Kabukidō"). The print of "Nakamura Noshio II as Sakuramaru" depicts the youngest of the three brothers, a romantic character whose symbol is the "sakura" cherry blossom. The character was sometimes performed by an "onnagata", an actor specializing in female roles.

paragraph: Section::::Identity.

paragraph: Enkyō's identity is uncertain. There is a brief mention of him in the "Ukiyo-e Ruikō", the earliest collection of commentaries and biographies on ukiyo-e artists, begun by Ōta Nanpo (1749–1823). Its single line mentions him as a portraitist who lasted merely half a year, and omits the name "Enkyō".

paragraph: Some have seen Enkyō as a student and perhaps the sole successor of Sharaku. There are no records of ukiyo-e artists other than Sharaku and Enkyō making "aiban"-sized "ōkubi-e yakusha-e" during the Edo period. The German writer asserted Enkyō was Sharaku, who had assumed a new identity to revive his career. The American Arthur Davison Ficke called this idea "an alluring but somewhat fantastic theory, which neither the documentary nor the internal evidence ... adequately supports", and James A. Michener agreed this was a "fanciful theory ... but nothing in the artistic content of Kabukidō's prints supports this wild guess", though "some of Sharaku's later triptychs ... are occasionally as dull as known Kabukidōs".

paragraph: Hiroshi Matsuki proposed attributing 11 of Sharaku's third-period works to Enkyō, using "Morellian" techniques to compare minor details of the artist's style. These works are the only "aiban"-sized "ōkubi yakusha-e" of Sharaku's third period. Amongst the details that set these works apart from Sharaku's earlier and later ones, five of these prints feature clearly visible ears, which are drawn with six lines, whereas those of Sharaku's other works are drawn with five lines. Given that Enkyō's works appeared sixteen months after Sharaku's, differences in approach such as Enkyō's thicker line and rounder eyes can be attributed to evolution of the artist's style.

paragraph: Others have seen the similarities with Sharaku as superficial, and point to differences in technique and psychology of the subjects. These scholars have suggested Enkyō's approach may be closer to that of Shunkō's, Shun'ei's, Toyokuni's, or Kunimasa's.

paragraph: In 1926 ukiyo-e scholar Naonari Ochiai declared Enkyō was the kyōgen playwright Nakamura Jūsuke (1749 – 4 November 1803). In that case, the work was the hobby of an amateur, and would have lacked a publisher's seal because it would have been printed as a special commission. However, there is no mention of any such connection in the writings of an acquaintance of Nakamura Jusuke's, Ota Nanpo.

paragraph: Johannes Fabry

paragraph: Johannes Fabry (1 June 1860, in Jülich – 29 June 1930, in Dortmund) was a German dermatologist.

paragraph: He studied medicine at the universities of Bern and Berlin, receiving his doctorate in 1886. Following graduation he trained in dermatology under Joseph Doutrelepont at the University of Bonn and with Hugo Ribbert in Zürich. From 1889 to 1929 he was chief medical officer of the Skin Clinic at the Dortmund municipal hospital, which under his guidance, became a leading center for dermatology.

paragraph: His name is associated with "Fabry disease", a rare, inherited metabolic disease characterized by telangiectatic skin lesions, kidney failure and disorders of the cardiovascular, gastrointestinal, and central nervous systems. In 1898 he described dermatological features of the disease in a 13-year-old boy, naming the condition "purpura haemorrhagica nodularis". The disease is also called "Anderson-Fabry disease", named along with British surgeon William Anderson, who independent of Fabry, reviewed the progression of the disease over nearly 20 years in a 39-year-old patient.

paragraph: Robert Willard Hartsock (January 24, 1945 – February 23, 1969) was a United States Army soldier and a recipient of the United States military's highest decoration—the Medal of Honor—for his actions in the Vietnam War.

paragraph: Section::::Biography.

paragraph: Hartsock joined the Army from Fairmont, West Virginia in 1967, and by February 23, 1969 was serving as a Staff Sergeant in the 44th Infantry Platoon Scout Dog (IPSD), 3rd Brigade, 25th Infantry Division. During a firefight on that day, in Hậu Nghĩa Province, Republic of Vietnam, Hartsock smothered an enemy satchel charge with his body to protect those around him and was mortally wounded in the explosion.

paragraph: Hartsock, aged 24 at his death, was buried in Rocky Gap Veterans Cemetery, Flintstone, Maryland.

paragraph: Section::::Medal of Honor citation.

paragraph: Staff Sergeant Hartsock's official Medal of Honor citation reads:

paragraph: For conspicuous gallantry and intrepidity in action at the risk of his life above and beyond the call of duty. S/Sgt. Hartsock, distinguished himself in action while serving as section leader with the 44th Infantry Platoon. When the Dầu Tiếng Base Camp came under a heavy enemy rocket and mortar attack, S/Sgt. Hartsock and his platoon commander spotted an enemy sapper squad which had infiltrated the camp undetected. Realizing the enemy squad was heading for the brigade tactical operations center and nearby prisoner compound, they concealed themselves and, although heavily outnumbered, awaited the approach of the hostile soldiers. When the enemy was almost upon them, S/Sgt. Hartsock and his platoon commander opened fire on the squad. As a wounded enemy soldier fell, he managed to detonate a satchel charge he was carrying. S/Sgt. Hartsock, with complete disregard for his life, threw himself on the charge and was gravely wounded. In spite of his wounds, S/Sgt. Hartsock crawled about 5 meters to a ditch and provided heavy suppressive fire, completely pinning down the enemy and allowing his commander to seek shelter. S/Sgt. Hartsock continued his deadly stream of fire until he succumbed to his wounds. S/Sgt. Hartsock's extraordinary heroism and profound concern for the lives of his fellow soldiers were in keeping with the highest traditions of the military service and reflect great credit on him, his unit, and the U.S. Army.

paragraph: Zaharije Orfelin

paragraph: Zaharije Orfelin (; 1726 – 19 January 1785) was a Serbian polymath who lived and worked in the Austrian Monarchy and Venice. Described as a Renaissance man, he was an educator, theologist, administrator, poet, engraver, lexicographer, herbalist, historian, translator, editor, publisher, polemicist, polyglot, a prominent oenologist, and traveler. His nephew is the painter Jakov Orfelin.

paragraph: Section::::Life.

paragraph: In 1757 Orfelin became the secretary to Metropolitan Pavle Nenadović in Sremski Karlovci, the Serbian political and spiritual centre at the time. Metropolitan Pavle wanted to establish Karlovci as an independent educational centre and evade Imperial Austrian control over censorship. In collaboration with Zaharije Orfelin, he founded the "Copper Publishing House", where the first modern Orthodox literary works and a considerable number of prints were made. Soon Orfelin began publishing poems, translating books, and creating etchings and engravings, inspired by the work of his contemporaries. To fulfill his ambition to print more books, he moved to Venice where he founded and edited the first Serbian review, "Slaveno-Serbski Magazin" (1768). Poem "Plač Serbii [The Lament of Serbia]" and biography of Peter I of Russia "Istorija o žitija i slavnih djelah velikago gosudarja i imperatora Petra Pervago" are considered his most notable works. His "Slaveno-Serbski Magazin" paved the way to the Slavonic-Serbian language. He was the first to publish in the 18th century texts pertaining to Serbian social and cultural history when other European nations had yet to entertain the subjects. During this period Orfelin first began to write "The Big Serbian Herbalium", in which he detailed the sanative effects of 500 species of herbs. And, in the "Experienced Winemaker" he listed several hundreds of recipes for preparation of herbal wines and other potions. Orfelin was fluent in Russian, Latin, German, and French.

paragraph: "The Lament of Serbia" is regarded as the most notable among his poetic works of that period. He first published it anonymously in Venice in 1761. In this ode he fiercely pilloried the establishment of the Austrian Empire and the Roman Catholic Church, while also emphasizing the difficult position and unjust treatment of the Serbs under the Imperial protection. Even though the poem bore no signature, the authorship was soon discovered. It is believed that this was a reason for his hurried exit from Karlovci the following year.

paragraph: After leaving Metropolitan Pavle, Orfelin moved to Timisoara, the capital of the Eparchy of Banat, where he secured employment as the chancellor of the Serbian Bishop of Banat, Vikentije Jovanović Vidak. In the years he spent in Timisoara he produced "The Apostolic Milk", a catechism dedicated to his infant son in 1763.

paragraph: In 1764, Orfelin came to Dimitrios Theodosios's publishing house in Venice, where he spent the next six years before moving back to Karlovci. Theodosios, who began to print Serbian books in Venice in 1758, needed Orfelin to edit and proofread the abundant material being brought to him. Theodosios remained the only outlet for Serbian literature and printed books in Russo-Slavonic until the emergence of Kurtbek's publishing house in Vienna in 1770. Orfelin's editorial work gave a special impetus to the success of this Slavic publishing house. In a span of a few years many important books – "Catechisis" by Peter Mohyla and another "Catechisis" by Jovan Rajić, "Srbljak" (a compedium of old Serbian writings) and "Short Stories" by Feofan Prokopovich – were published there. Many of the books published were either translated or edited by Orfelin himself. He also published his own, original works, including "A Melody for the Spring" and "A Historical Poem" in 1765, "Latin Alphabet" in 1767, and "Latin Grammar" and "Slavic Alphabet" in 1768. A large number of the books printed in Theodosios's shop in Venice were purposefully mislabelled as printed in either Moscow or Sankt Petersburg publishing houses. The reasoning behind it was that Serbs under the Austrian rule had more faith in books published in Russia than in the West. While still in Venice, Orfelin also printed one of the most important copper engravings, "St. George with the Image of the Monastery of Sendjuradj" (1767), and the first one that he signed as a member of the Imperial Engraving Academy founded by Austrian Jacob Schmutzer.

paragraph: Section::::Legacy.

paragraph: Orfelin was one of the most notable representatives of the Serbian Baroque literature (although he worked in the first half of the 18th century, as Baroque trends in Serbian literature emerged in the late 17th century); yet his writings bear certain ideas of European Enlightenment and Rationalism. Through the whole of the 18th century, Serbian literature was mostly under the sway of Russia, or rather of the Russian Orthodox Church. As the Russo-Slavonic language was not readily understood by the Serbian reading public, its form used by the Serbs came under the influence of their living dialect and began soon to approach nearer to Serbian than to Russian. This artificial literary jargon was called Slaveno-Serbski, Slavo-Serbian. (In the 19th century it was eventually superseded by the modern Serbian language owing to the efforts and reforms of Vuk Karadžić). Of the Serbian authors who followed the Russian models it is worth to mention Zaharije Orfelin, Gligorije Trlajić (1766–1811), and Pavle Solarić (1781–1821).

paragraph: In Serbian eighteenth-century literature Orfelin's authorship of ""The Life of Peter the Great"" was recorded for the first time in 1786, by Jovan Muškatirović. The illustrations of Peter's Life had been announced by Orfelin in 1772, but he began to produce them in 1774, and the whole enterprise was not completed until 1779, when the authorship of the book had been indubitably established. All this, however, was forgotten and Dimitrije Ruvarac discovered again in 1887, on the basis of the signed illustrated copies of the ""Life of Peter the Great"", that Orfelin was the author of the Russian emperor's biography. This nineteenth-century discovery was accepted by both Serbs and Russians.

paragraph: In 1776 Orfelin's name appears in a lexicon of Austrian artists, "Des Gelehte Osterisch" by de Luca, where he is listed as both an engraver and a writer, elected as an academician in the newly established Academy of Engraving in Vienna. He is the main character of a novel "Drugo Telo" by Milorad Pavić.

paragraph: Albert G. Winterhalter

paragraph: Albert Gustav Winterhalter (October 5, 1856 – June 5, 1920) was an admiral in the United States Navy. He was commander in chief of the U.S. Asiatic Fleet from 1915 to 1917. He could speak or read eleven languages by the time he was appointed to command the Asiatic Fleet.

paragraph: Section::::Biography.

paragraph: He was born in Detroit, Michigan, on October 5, 1856, to John Winterhalter. Winterhalter was appointed to the U.S. Naval Academy from the First Congressional District of Michigan, graduating in 1877.

paragraph: Winterhalter lost an eye to an archery accident in 1877.

paragraph: Winterhalter spent much of his career in scientific posts. He was assigned to the United States Naval Observatory from January 1885 to November 1889, during which time he served as the United States delegate to the International Astrophotographic Congress in Paris, France, and visited the principal observatories of Europe. His report on the tour was published in 1889. He was also responsible for the Naval Observatory Exhibit at the Chicago World's Fair in 1893.

paragraph: While stationed in San Francisco in 1896, he married Broadway actress Helen Dauvray.

paragraph: In 1898, as flag lieutenant to Rear Admiral J.M. Miller, Commander in Chief Pacific Station, Winterhalter personally arranged the hoisting of the American flag at the ceremonies attending the transfer of sovereignty of the Hawaiian Islands to the United States. He assumed command of the gunboat "Elcano" in 1902 and of the gunboat "Paducah" in 1905. As Aide for Material from 1914 to 1915, he was a principal assistant to the Secretary of the Navy and an ex-officio voting member of the General Board of the Navy. He took command of the U.S. Asiatic Fleet on July 11, 1915, and ranked as a full admiral for the duration of his tour, reverting to his permanent rank of rear admiral upon relinquishing command in 1917.

paragraph: He was Hydrographer of the Navy from May 1908 to January 1910.In 1916, Winterhalter conducted experiments aboard USS "Washington" (ACR-11) to evaluate acoustic ranging techniques. He sailed "Washington" on different courses relative to a lightship that was transmitting radio waves and air- and water-mediated sound waves, and found that submarine sound waves were a more reliable guide than air-mediated sound. This was the first attempt to determine distance using acoustics, and a similar technique was later used for hydrographic surveys.

paragraph: He died of lobar pneumonia on June 5, 1920, in Washington, D.C., at the United States Naval Hospital. He was buried in Arlington National Cemetery. His widow died three years later.

paragraph: Lee Mellor

paragraph: Lee Mellor, Ph.D. (born August 4, 1982 in Chester, England) is an Anglo-Canadian author, scholar, criminologist and alternative country musician distinguished by his intricate lyrics and growly vocal stylings.

paragraph: Section::::Education.

paragraph: Mellor attended Bowmanville High School and then earned a Bachelor of Arts degree in History and Doctorate of Philosophy in the interdisciplinary study of homicide and sex crime from Concordia University, in 2009 and 2019, respectively.

paragraph: Section::::Music.

paragraph: As a musician, Mellor has been spotlighted and interviewed on CBC Radio, and in 2007 was voted among the top 10 singer-songwriters in Montreal. By the 2008 poll he had risen to No. 3 singer-songwriter in the city, behind Leonard Cohen and Rufus Wainwright.

paragraph: Mellor's debut album "Ghost Town Heart" was released independently on August 18, 2007. He is known for coining the term "citygrass" to describe Montreal's emerging alternative country scene.

paragraph: In 2010, while working on his second album, Mellor also produced and played on Montreal singer-songwriter Roses's self-titled debut EP. A music video for "Suzy Blue Eyes" from his second album "Lose" was officially released on YouTube in early 2011.

paragraph: "Lose", described by Mellor as an album he made "for himself," followed shortly after on April 30, 2011.

paragraph: Mellor also produced Kristen Bussandri's "Diamonds to Dust" EP, released July 2011.

paragraph: Section::::Writing.

paragraph: Mellor's first book, "", was released on March 3, 2012, by Dundurn Press. The true crime work documents and analyzes the phenomenon of serial homicide in Canada, providing over 60 cases as examples. He researched 75 serial homicides but did not include them all because of limited space in the book.

paragraph: A second volume on Canadian multicide, "Rampage: Canadian Mass Murder and Spree Killing", was released on March 9, 2013.

paragraph: In academia, Mellor co-edited the textbook "Homicide: A Forensic Psychology Casebook" (2016) with Joan Swart for which he also penned the Introduction along with chapters on homicidal paraphilia, necrophilia, sexual sadism, and psychopathy.

paragraph: In 2017, Mellor co-authored "The Crime Book" volume with American crime writers Shanna Hogan, Rebecca Morris, Cathy Scott, and British author Michael Kerrigan, with a foreword for the U.S. edition by Scott and the U.K. edition by author Peter James. It was released in April 2017 in the U.K. and May 2017 in the U.S. by Dorling Kindersley (Penguin Random House).

paragraph: He is also the primary editor of "Understanding Necrophilia: A Global Multidisciplinary Approach" (2016) with Anil Aggrawal and Eric W. Hickey. His chapters "Wider Shades of Pale" and "Mincing Words" examine flaws in the current definition of necrophilia and argue for an expansion of the concept to include acts of sexually motivated post-mortem mutilation, posing, and "trophy-taking", as well as certain types of cannibalism and vampirism. In "Necrophilia-Spectrum Behavior and the Thematic-Derivative Model of Sexual Progression", Mellor offers a model which charts both normophilic and paraphilic sexual interests, using the case of Armin Meiwes as an example. His "Five Allures of Necrophilia" proposes that there are five basic appeals of necrophilia: passivity/inertia, corporeal/sensory, reminiscent/identity, ritual/iconographic, and spiritual/magical.

paragraph: Mellor is editor-in-chief of the e-magazine "Serial Killer Quarterly" to which he regularly contributes articles, along with fellow true crime writers Harold Schechter, Peter Vronsky, Katherine Ramsland, Michael Newton, Cathy Scott, Burl Barer, Carol Anne Davis, and Robert Hoshowsky.

paragraph: Gabriel de Clieu

paragraph: Gabriel-Mathieu Francois D'ceus de Clieu (c. 1867, region of Dieppe, France – 29 November 1774, in Paris), naval officer, was the governor of Guadeloupe from 1737 to 1752 and the founder of Pointe-à-Pitre. He was awarded the rank of commander of the Royal and Military Order of Saint Louis.

paragraph: De Clieu is celebrated for his claim to have introduced coffee to the French colonies of the Western Hemisphere in the 1720s and his support for its cultivation.

paragraph: Section::::Introduction of Coffee to Martinique.

paragraph: The story of de Clieu's introduction of coffee comes from his account in the "Année littéraire" of 1774. According to this account, he arranged to transport a coffee plant (or perhaps several) from the greenhouses of the Jardin royal des plantes (which had originally received two plants from Holland in the 1710s) to Martinique in 1720. According to de Clieu's account, water was rationed on the voyage, and he shared his ration with the seedlings. The story is repeated in many histories of coffee. However, a recent history points out that though it may well be true that de Clieu brought a seedling to Martinique, and perhaps even that he shared his water ration with it, coffee was already growing in the Western Hemisphere: in the French colony of Saint-Domingue since 1715 and in the Dutch colony of Surinam since 1718.

paragraph: Section::::Museum.

paragraph: De Clieu's descendants in Dieppe, France are currently working a museum to commemorate the legend of DeClieu.
