paragraph: Maria Barbara Bach

paragraph: Maria Barbara Bach ( – buried 7 July 1720) was the first wife of composer Johann Sebastian Bach. She was also the daughter of his father's cousin Johann Michael Bach.

paragraph: Section::::Life.

paragraph: Maria Barbara Bach was born at Gehren, Schwarzburg-Sondershausen, to Catherina (d. 1704) and Michael Bach (1648-1694). Her father was organist and town scribe at Gehren. Her older sister, Barbara Catherina, gave testimony on Bach's behalf in the famous 'Geyersbach' incident in which Bach was punched in the face by a student and defended himself by drawing his sword. Her god parents were Martin Feldhaus, a merchant and burgomaster in Arnstadt, and Magarethe Wedermann (daughter of the Arnstadt town scribe Johann Wedemann)., with whom she lived after her mother's death in 1704.

paragraph: Maria Barbara was twenty-three years old when she married Johann Sebastian Bach. The extended Bach family was closely knit, and as Maria Barbara was his second cousin, it is fairly safe to assume that they knew each other at least casually from childhood. They became close during Bach's tenure as organist of Mühlhausen's St. Blasius Church, and were able to marry at Dornheim on the 17th of October, 1707, thanks to an inheritance of 50 gulden (more than half his annual salary) which he received from his maternal uncle, Tobias Lämmerhirt. Little is known of her life or their marriage, except that they were contented.

paragraph: According to the "Nekrolog" ('obituary') co-authored by Carl Philipp Emanuel and Bach student Johann Friedrich Agricola, Maria Barbara's death in 1720 was sudden and unexpected. Bach was at the Carlsbad spa accompanying his employer, Prince Leopold of Anhalt-Köthen, when she died. When Bach left Köthen, Maria Barbara was in perfectly good health; but when he returned two months later, he was shocked to learn that she had died and been buried on 7 July. The cause of her death is undocumented.

paragraph: Maria Barbara bore seven children, three of whom died in infancy:

paragraph: BULLET::::- Wilhelm Friedemann (22 November 1710 – 1 July 1784).

paragraph: Mayinga N'Seka

paragraph: Mayinga N'Seka (1954 – October 19, 1976) was a nurse in Zaïre, now Democratic Republic of the Congo. She died from Ebola virus disease during the 1976 epidemic in Zaïre. She has been incorrectly identified as the index case by several sources, but a World Health Organization commission report on the outbreak lists a man from Yambuku as the index case, Mabalo Lokela.

paragraph: Section::::Biography.

paragraph: N'Seka worked as a nurse at Ngaliema hospital in Kinshasa and contracted Ebola after caring for a nun who had flown in for treatment from the Yambuku Mission Hospital, where the outbreak began. Mayinga died at Ngaleima Hospital on October 19, 1976. There were 318 cases in this outbreak, which had an 88% mortality rate.

paragraph: In his book about the 1976 outbreak, "Ebola", William Close writes that N'Seka had treated a nun, Sister Fermina, who worked at the Catholic mission in Yambuku, the center of the outbreak. Fermina died at the hospital in Kinshasa while trying to return to Belgium so a diagnosis on the disease could be performed. The highly contagious and deadly nature of the disease was still unknown when N'Seka treated Fermina, and no special precautions were taken to prevent contact with the nun's blood or fluids. 22-year-old N'Seka was preparing to travel to Europe to study advanced nursing on a scholarship at the time of her death. N'Seka was born in 1954.

paragraph: Section::::Legacy.

paragraph: The variant of the Ebola virus that infected N'Seka was originally named "Zaïre virus strain Mayinga" (now Ebola virus variant Mayinga; EBOV/May), and is the prototype virus for the species "Zaire ebolavirus", which is itself the type species for the genus "Ebolavirus".

paragraph: N'Seka's blood has also been used all over the world in procuring various strain frequencies and structures about Ebola virus.

paragraph: George Cumberland

paragraph: George Cumberland (1754–1848) was an English art collector, writer and poet. He was a lifelong friend and supporter of William Blake, and like him was an experimental printmaker. He was also an amateur watercolourist, and one of the earliest members of the Bristol School of artists. He made use of his wide circle of connections to help its other members, in particular assisting and influencing Edward Bird and Francis Danby.

paragraph: Section::::Early life.

paragraph: Cumberland, whose father was also called George, was born in London in 1754. From 1769–85 he was an insurance clerk with the Royal Exchange Assurance Corporation. In 1772 he also attended the Royal Academy Schools and exhibited at the Academy in 1782 and 1783, but failed to be elected an Associate in 1784. He formed a low opinion of the Academy and attacked it in various essays.

paragraph: Along with John Flaxman and Thomas Stothard, Cumberland joined the social circle of William Blake within a year of Blake becoming a student at the Royal Academy Schools in 1779. This circle also included the engraver William Sharp. The young Cumberland held radical views; with Stothard and Sharp, he joined the Society for Constitutional Information, becoming a friend of its leader, John Horne Tooke, and attracting the attention of government spies. However, when Cumberland witnessed the Gordon Riots of 1780 at first hand, he reacted with horror.

paragraph: Cumberland was to be a lifelong friend and supporter of Blake. As early as 1780 a contribution by Cumberland to the Morning Chronicle praised Blake's first exhibit at the Academy, the watercolour "The Death of Earl Goodwin". Cumberland would often seek to provide clients for Blake, as in 1798 when he tried to persuade Tooke to use Blake as the engraver for a new edition of Tooke's book "Diversions of Purleigh".

paragraph: Cumberland shared an interest with Blake in printmaking. In 1784 they both experimented with new methods of printing etched texts. In that year Cumberland printed an account of his "New Mode of Printing", although it does not seem to have been a practical commercial proposition. In printing his own works Cumberland would come to rely on Blake's technical advice on copperplate and lithography.

paragraph: Section::::Italy.

paragraph: In 1784 Cumberland received an inheritance providing him with an annual income of £300, enabling him to leave his job. From 1785–90 he travelled in Europe, mainly living in Rome. He also visited Paris and Florence, and in 1786 visited Switzerland with Charles Long, 1st Baron Farnborough. In 1787 he eloped with Mrs Elizabeth Cooper née Price and took her back to Italy.

paragraph: In Rome he joined a circle of artists which included John Deare, Robert Fagan, Charles Grignion the Younger and Samuel Woodforde. Cumberland studied the works of Raphael and the engravers Marcantonio Raimondi and Giulio Bonasone and formed a collection of prints and objects, in particular a large collection of Bonasone engravings.

paragraph: Section::::Publications.

paragraph: After Cumberland's return from Italy in 1790 he first lived near Southampton, where he continued to build his art collection. From 1793–98 he lived in Egham, Surrey. In 1793 he published "Poem on the Landscapes of Great Britain" and the illustrated poem "Lewina, the Maid of Snowdon". In the same year he published "Some Anecdotes of the Life of Julio Bonasoni", prefaced by "A Plan for the Improvement of the Arts in England", which contained a proposal for the formation of a national gallery. His Italian studies bore further fruit in 1796 when he published "Thoughts on Outline", a set of theoretical principles for classical art illustrated with 24 designs by Cumberland on classical subjects. Cumberland etched 16 of the designs and commissioned Blake to etch the other 8, with Blake providing the inscriptions for all 24. Blake also provided Cumberland with advice on the engraving process.

paragraph: Another of Cumberland's friends was Thomas Johnes, who was influenced by Cumberland to become a translator of medieval French chronicles. In 1796 Cumberland produced "An Attempt to Describe Hafod", a guide to Johnes's estate of Hafod in Wales. Cumberland commissioned Blake to engrave a map to accompany the guide.

paragraph: In 1798 Cumberland published a utopian novel, "The Captive of the Castle of Sennaar". He called his utopia Sophis, setting it in Africa, and gave it classical Greek virtues but without war, slavery or sexual inequality. Fearing that its radicalism would antagonise the authorities, Cumberland withdrew the novel, though not before he had sent a copy to another of his acquaintances, Isaac D'Israeli.

paragraph: Section::::Bristol School.

paragraph: In 1803 Cumberland moved to Weston-super-Mare in Somerset, and then in 1807 to Bristol where he lived for the rest of his life. He became one of the earliest members of the informal group of artists which has become known as the Bristol School, and one of the first to take part in the group's excursions to sketch the scenery around Bristol. Cumberland's daughter Eliza and probably also his son George Cumberland, Jr. sometimes joined these excursions. His friend Stothard also participated occasionally.

paragraph: Cumberland believed that painting should be directly from nature; he produced small landscape studies which avoided the picturesque. His watercolours were similar in style to those of his friend John Linnell. It was Cumberland's son George, a pupil of Linnell, who introduced Linnell to Blake in 1818.

paragraph: Cumberland became a close friend of Edward Bird, and godfather to his son. He did not have the resources to be Bird's patron, but he would lend Bird items from his art collection to study. In 1814 when Bird asked for help in gaining a royal commission, Cumberland introduced him to Charles Long, who then arranged with the Prince Regent for Bird to conduct royal portrait studies aboard the royal yacht. On Bird's death in 1819 Cumberland successfully petitioned the Royal Academy to provide a pension for Bird's widow.

paragraph: Cumberland helped many of the Bristol artists through recommendations and introductions to his influential friends. In 1820 when Francis Danby exhibited "The Upas Tree of Java" at the British Institution, Cumberland exerted his influence to promote its favourable reception. In 1822 when Danby, Branwhite and Johnson were about to visit London, Cumberland ensured that Thomas Lawrence, Thomas Stothard and others were alerted.

paragraph: There is evidence from their correspondence that Cumberland often suggested subjects for Danby to paint. It has been suggested that the influence of Blake may also have been transmitted to Danby. Danby's second exhibited painting was "Disappointed Love", shown at the Royal Academy in 1821. Its subject is reminiscent of Blake's "Songs of Innocence and of Experience", while the work's neoclassical figure of a girl evokes Cumberland's "Thoughts on Outline". A later watercolour, "A Scene from "A Midsummer Night's Dream"" (1832) is very reminiscent of Blake's illustrations for "The Book of Thel".

paragraph: Cumberland had been the recipient from Blake of one of the 16 early copies of "The Book of Thel" and one of "", only five of which now survive. He also had copies of "America a Prophecy", "Europe a Prophecy", "The Song of Los", "Visions of the Daughters of Albion" and "Songs of Innocence and of Experience".

paragraph: Blake died in 1827. The last engraving that Blake made was a visiting card for Cumberland, who had sent the plate to Blake for him to decorate. Blake did so by surrounding Cumberland's name with figures intended to represent the Seasons, including children hoop rolling and flying kites.

paragraph: Section::::Final years.

paragraph: Cumberland was also a collector of fossils and from 1810 was an honorary member of the Geological Society. In 1826 he published "Reliquiae conservatae", a study of some fossil encrinites.

paragraph: In 1827 he published "Essay on the Utility of Collecting the Best Works of the Ancient Engravers of the Italian School", which catalogued his collection of prints. He presented his collections to the Royal Academy and the British Museum.

paragraph: Cumberland's wife Elizabeth died on 2 February 1837. He died on 8 August 1848 in Bristol; they were both buried at St George's Church, Brandon Hill. They had two sons, George and Sydney, and three daughters, Lavinia, Aurora and Eliza.

paragraph: Jindřich Štreit

paragraph: Jindřich Štreit (born 5 September 1946 in Vsetín) is a Czech photographer and pedagogue known for his documentary photography. He concentrates on documenting the rural life and people of Czech villages. He is considered one of the most important exponents of Czech documentary photography.

paragraph: Section::::Biography.

paragraph: Štreit began taking photographs in 1964, during his studies at the Pedagogical Faculty of Palacký University in Olomouc. Following his graduation he worked as a teacher in Rýmařov; later he became director of the school in Sovinec and Jiříkov. In addition to his profession, Štreit actively participated in public life. As a local chronicler he documented the everyday events and life of Czech villages under the communist regime. The photography theorist Antonín Dufek identified him as "a continuer of the tradition of old village teachers, propagators of culture and progress".

paragraph: In the late 1970s, Štreit's approach to photography began to change. He studied at the "Institut výtvarné fotografie" (Institute of Art Photography) in Brno, led by K. O. Hrubý and Antonín Hinšt. He graduated from the Institute with a cycle of theatrical photography. At the same time he continued expanding his cycle of everyday life of the villages in the foothills of the Jeseníky Mountains. Additionally, he helped organize cultural life in the region; he participated in organizing exhibitions and concerts.

paragraph: In 1981, during the general elections in the former Czechoslovakia, Štreit documented the official course of the elections. In some of his photographs made during the meetings of the local authorities, the portrait of the President of Czechoslovakia appeared on photographs in very "unlikely and absurd places". A year later, in June 1982, Štreit agreed to display his works at the exhibition "Setkání" (The Meeting) organized in Prague by the graphic artist Alena Kučerová. After several hours, the exhibition was banned by the state police and Štreit was arrested and accused of defamation of the President and the country. He was sentenced to ten months' imprisonment with a suspended sentence of two years. As a consequence, he lost his job and was forced to earn a living at a state farm in Rýžoviště. He was banned from taking photographs, but he never respected the ban and returned to photography immediately after his release from the prison. The photography theorist Anna Fárová managed to include his works in the exhibition "9 + 9", visited by Henri Cartier-Bresson, who documented Štreit's installation and published his photos in the French newspaper "Le Monde."

paragraph: In 1989, after the Velvet Revolution and subsequent democratization of Czech society, Štreit was rehabilitated and allowed to take photographs without limitations. In 2009, he was named Professor of Applied Arts by the President of the Czech Republic Václav Klaus. As of 2010, Štreit works as a teacher at the "Institut tvůrčí fotografie" (Institute of Creative Photography of Silesian University in Opava).

paragraph: Godfrey de Heinsberg, Count of Looz

paragraph: Godfrey de Heinsberg (died 1395), Lord of Daelenbroeck, Count of Looz and Count of Chiny (1361-1362), son of John of Heinsberg, Lord of Daelenbroeck (brother of the preceding count Thierry de Heinsberg), son of Arnold V, Count of Looz and Chiny, and Catherine de Vroon.

paragraph: Upon the death of his uncle Thierry de Heinsberg in 1361, Godfrey claimed his estates and proclaimed himself Count of Looz and Chiny. However, Engelbert III of the Marck, Prince-Bishop of Liege, was far less merciful to Godfrey than to Thierry, and pursued the claims to the counties that Adolph of the Marck had negotiated with Louis IV the Younger in an agreement in 1190. This is interesting (but not surprising) in that Engelbert was the brother-in-law of Godfrey, having married Richardis of Jülich (d. 1360), sister of Godfrey’s wife Philippa.

paragraph: Engelbert proclaimed the annexation of Looz and Chiny for the Chapter of St. Lambert in Liege on May 5, 1361, and his troops occupied the county from June 1361. On January 25, 1362, Godfrey sold the counties and their rights to Arnold of Rumigny, grandson of Arnold V, Count of Looz and Chiny. Arnold was destined to be the last of the Counts of Looz and Chiny.

paragraph: Godfrey was married in 1357 to Philippa of Jülich (d. 1390), daughter of William V, Duke of Jülich, and Joanna of Hainaut. The children of Godfrey and Joanna included:

paragraph: Section::::Early life.

paragraph: Mitsui Asako was born in Kyoto, the daughter of merchant Mitsui Takamasu. She recalled, as a girl, feeling left out of the education her brothers enjoyed, and being determined after marriage to find a way to learn mathematics, economics, and literature, among other topics. She hired tutors and read independently. "I set myself to the task with the consent of my husband, who was skeptical of my ability and indifferent to my ambitions."

paragraph: Section::::Career.

She spoke at church-run events. She was one of the leaders of the YWCA Summer Conference in 1912, with Kawai Michi, Emma Kaufman, and several others. At her summer home near Mt. Fuji, Hirooka kept a retreat house for Christian preachers.

paragraph: Raicho Hiratsuka, a student at Japan Women's University, which Hirooka helped to found, recalled her scolding the students for studies she deemed too "theoretical"; she thought the young women should pursue a more practical education.

paragraph: Section::::Personal life and legacy.

paragraph: Plastician

paragraph: Chris Reed, also known as Plastician (formerly Plasticman), is an electronic musician from Thornton Heath in the London Borough of Croydon.

paragraph: Section::::History.

paragraph: Section::::History.:Early career.

paragraph: Starting out as a UK Garage DJ at the age of 18 under the moniker of Darkstar (not to be confused with Darkstar of Hyperdub recordings), Reed began to take interest in the darker side of the sound, specialising in sets featuring tracks from the likes of Wookie, Zed Bias, El-B, Groove Chronicles, Steve Gurley and working alongside MC's Tricks & Spellz as part of the "Fearless Crew". They held radio slots on South London's inconsistent pirate station "Desire FM" before moving to 2GFM before the split of Fearless Crew in 2002. It was then that Reed was to begin using the name Plasticman for future works.

paragraph: Toward the middle of 2001, Reed had been experimenting with production on FruityLoops. Being based in Croydon, Reed was part of a close-knit community of young producers attempting to make dark garage tracks that would catch the ear of Big Apple Records resident DJ Hatcha so that he could support them on his popular pirate radio show. Other young producers in this circle included Skream and Benga, amongst more experienced heads Artwork / Menta, Benny Ill & Horsepower Productions. By the end of 2001, although Plasticman's tracks were somewhat overlooked by DJ Hatcha, they were however picked up by East London Grime pioneer, DJ Slimzee. Slimzee signed Reed's first 12" release (Venom / Shockwave) to his Slimzos imprint which was released early into 2002.

paragraph: By 2003, Reed had been supported by DJ Hatcha on tracks such as Hard Graft, which saw his grimy take on the instrumental sound being welcomed by the FWD contingent, leading to releases on Ammunition Promotions' Soulja, and ROAD imprints, a weekly slot on Rinse FM alongside Mark One (MRK1) & Virus Syndicate, and in the summer saw Reed's first appearance at the world-famous FWD event at Plastic People, London. Soon after, Reed had established himself as a FWD favourite and was announced as one of 4 residents at the club in 2004, alongside Dubstep royalty, DJ Hatcha, Youngsta and Rinse FM owner, DJ Geeneus.

paragraph: In 2006, Reed was offered a slot on BBC Radio 1's "The Residency". This soon turned into "In New DJ's We Trust". This was the tipping point for an ongoing legal struggle which forced him to change his name from Plasticman to Plastician. He spent 18 months on the station before returning to Rinse FM to continue his weekly slot, which he had been continuing under the alias "Blue Stripe" during his time at the BBC. He returned to the airwaves on Rinse FM alongside MC Nomad.

paragraph: Section::::Terrorhythm Recordings.

paragraph: Plastician runs his own record label, Terrorhythm Recordings, formed in 2002. Best known for signing both Om Unit and Joker's first releases as well as releasing Plastician's critically acclaimed "Beg To Differ" album, it also saw early releases from Macabre Unit, Maniac, Crissy Criss, and Mark One. Moving into more recent times, the label has broadened its sonic palate – as has Plastician. Terrorhythm currently represents some of the most exciting young musicians associated with today's future beats movement, housing artists such as AWE, GANZ, Louis Futon and Krane among others within its ranks. Many of whom have been releasing on the label since their debut releases. More recently he has been exploring experimental trap offshoot, Wave music for which his "Wavepool" mixes have become recognised as the main reference point for the birth of the genre.

paragraph: Section::::Plasticman controversy.

paragraph: In 2006, Reed was threatened with legal action by Canadian-British techno artist Richie Hawtin who had prior use right on the name "Plastikman," prompting Reed to change his name from Plasticman to Plastician to avoid any legal disputes with Hawtin.

paragraph: Sandra Oxenryd

paragraph: Sandra Oxenryd (born 1 October 1982 in Kristinehamn) is a Swedish singer who won Fame Factory in 2005, and represented Estonia in the Eurovision Song Contest 2006.

paragraph: Oxenryd is a former economics student and floorball player. Aged eleven, she started her singing career by performing on national television. At 18, she placed second in a look-alike competition, where she mirrored Swedish superstar Carola Häggkvist. After winning the Swedish Fame Factory in 2005, Sandra recorded her debut album. An international jury decided that Sandra Oxenryd would represent Estonia at Eurovision 2006 with the song Through My Window. The song is written by Pearu Paulus, Ilmar Laisaar, Alar Kotkas (composers) and Jana Hallas (lyricist), the same authors who wrote the Estonian entries for 2000 ("Once in a lifetime") and 2002 ("Runaway"), which came 4th and 3rd, respectively. Despite the song becoming a fan favourite, "Through My Window" only scored 28 points and finished 18th in the semi-final, therefore not qualifying for the final.

paragraph: On 23 February 2008, Sandra competed for the chance to represent Poland in that year's Eurovision, with the song "Superhero", finishing 8th.

paragraph: Maurice Dockrell (Unionist politician)

paragraph: Sir Maurice Edward Dockrell (21 December 1850 – 5 August 1929) was an Irish businessman and politician from Dublin.

paragraph: At the 1918 general election, he was elected as Irish Unionist Alliance Member of Parliament for Dublin Rathmines from 1918 to 1922.

paragraph: The 1918 election was a watershed in Ireland. Following the Easter Rising in 1916, Sinn Féin had grown in popularity, eclipsing the Irish Parliamentary Party. Sinn Féin candidates treated the election as an Irish general election, pledging not to take their seats in the British House of Commons, but to unilaterally establish a separate parliament in Dublin.

paragraph: At the election, the Dublin University constituency returned two Unionists, and Dockrell was the only other Irish Unionist returned outside Ulster. Rather than joining Sinn Féin in the First Dáil, Dockrell took his seat in the House of Commons of the United Kingdom.

paragraph: His wife, Margaret Dockrell was a suffragist, philanthropist, and councillor. His son Henry Morgan Dockrell was later a Fine Gael Teachta Dála (TD), and his grandsons Percy and Maurice Dockrell were also long-serving Fine Gael TDs.

paragraph: Maurice ran the Dockrell family business of builders' providers in Dublin.

In 1821 he was raised to the peerage as Baron Delamere of Vale Royal in the County of Chester. The current baron, the 5th Baron Delamere, paints a picture of his early-19th century ancestor with deft, harsh strokes:

paragraph: Section::::Family.

paragraph: BULLET::::- Henry Pitt (15 June 1820 – 14 April 1905) married Mary Leigh

paragraph: BULLET::::- Henrietta Charlotte (3 June 1823 – 13 August 1874).

paragraph: BULLET::::- Charles Watkin Neville (27 May 1826 – 18 March 1844).—unmarried

paragraph: The marriage of the baron's third son, Henry, produced nine grandchildren; and of these, Lionel would become chaplain to the British Embassy in Tokyo and would write the first English-language history of the isolated Bonin Islands, including notes of changes which evolved after annexation by Meiji Japan in 1875.
