paragraph: Rajendra Chola I

paragraph: Section::::Early life and ascension.

paragraph: Rajendra Chola I was the son of Rajaraja Chola and Thiripuvana Madeviyar, princess of Kodumbalur. He was born on Thiruvathirai in the Tamil month of Aadi. He was originally called Maduranthagan. He spent most of his childhood in Palayarai and was brought up by his aunt Kundavai and great-grandmother Sembian Madevi. He was made the co-regent in 1012 CE. Rajendra formally ascended the Chola throne in 1014 CE. In 1018 CE, he installed his eldest son Rajadhiraja Chola I as the crown prince.

paragraph: Section::::Military conquests.

paragraph: Section::::Military conquests.:Early campaigns.

paragraph: Rajendra led campaigns from 1002 CE. These include the conquest of the Rashtrakutas and the campaigns against the Western Chalukyas. He conquered the Chalukyan territories of Yedatore (a large part of the Raichur district between the Krishna and the Tungabhadra), Banavasi in the north-west of Mysore and capital Manyakheta. Rajendra erected a Siva temple at Bhatkal. In 1004 CE, he captured Talakad and overthrew the Western Ganga dynasty which had ruled over Mysore for almost 1000 years. He also conquered Kollipakkai, located to the north of Hyderabad in present-day Telangana. An excerpt from an inscription in Tamil from Kolar states:

paragraph: Section::::Military conquests.:Conquest of Sri Lanka.

paragraph: Raja Raja Chola I conquered the northern half of Sri Lanka during his reign. Rajendra invaded Ceylon in 1017 CE and annexed the entire island. As a result of the campaign, Rajendra captured the regal jewels of the Pandyas, which Parantaka I tried to capture and the crown of the Sinhala king. The Sinhala king Mahinda V was taken prisoner and transported to the Chola country.

paragraph: Section::::Military conquests.:Pandyas and Cheras.

paragraph: In 1018 CE, Rajendra marched across the Pandya and Chera kingdoms referred in the Tamil Copper-plate inscriptions. The territories were already conquered during the reign of Raja Raja I. Rajendra appointed one of his sons as viceroy with the title "Jatavarman Sundara Chola-Pandya" with Madurai as the headquarters.

paragraph: Section::::Military conquests.:Chalukyan conflict.

paragraph: In 1015 CE, Jayasimha II became the king of Western Chalukyas. He tried to recover the losses suffered by his predecessor Satyashraya, who fled his capital and was later restored to the throne by Raja Raja I as a tribute paying subordinate. Initially, Jayasimha II was successful as Rajendra was busy with his campaigns in Sri Lanka. In 1021 CE, after the demise of the Eastern Chalukyan king Vimaladitya of Vengi, Jayasimha supported the claim of Vijayaditya VII to the throne against the claims of Rajaraja Narendra. Rajaraja Narendra was the son of Vimaladitya and Chola princess Kundavai. Rajendra helped his nephew Rajaraja defeat Vijayaditya. His armies defeated Vijayadiya in Vengi and Jayasimha in the battle of Maski.

paragraph: Section::::Military conquests.:Expedition to the Ganges.

paragraph: In 1019 CE, Rajendra’s forces marched through Kalinga towards the river Ganga. In Kalinga the Chola forces defeated Indraratha the ruler of the Somavamsi Dynasty. The Chola army eventually reached the Pala kingdom of Bengal where they defeated Mahipala. The Chola army also defeated the last ruler of the Kamboja Pala dynasty Dharmapala of Dandabhukti. The Chola army went on to raid East Bengal and defeated Govindachandra of the Chandra dynasty and invaded Bastar region. The territories held the status of tribute paying subordinates and trade partners with the Chola Kingdom, an arrangement that lasted till the times of Kulothunga III. He constructed a new capital at Gangaikondacholapuram and built the Brihadeeswarar Temple similar to the Brihadeeswarar Temple at Thanjavur.

paragraph: Section::::Military conquests.:South East Asian expedition.

paragraph: Srivijaya was a kingdom centered on Palembang in Sumatra, ruled by the Sailendra dynasty. During the reign of Mara Vijayatungavarman, Srivijaya had cordial relations with the Chola Empire during the reign of Rajaraja Chola I; Mara Vijayatungavarman built a Chudamani Vihara at Nagapattinam. Mara was succeeded by Sangrama Vijayatunggavarman.

paragraph: Khmer Emperor Suryavarman I made war on the kingdom of Tambralinga (in the Malay Peninsula). Suryavarman I requested aid from Rajendra. After learning of Suryavarman's alliance with Rajendra Chola, Tambralinga requested aid from Srivijaya, which was granted by Sangrama. This eventually led to the Chola expedition against the Srivijiya Empire. This alliance somewhat also had a religious nuance, since both the Chola Empire and the Khmer Empire were Hindu Shivaist, while Tambralinga and Srivijaya were Mahayana Buddhist.

paragraph: In 1025 CE, Rajendra led Chola forces across the Indian Ocean and invaded Srivijaya, attacking several places in Malaysia and Indonesia. The Chola sacked Kadaram (the capital) and Pannai in Sumatra and Malaiyur in the Malay Peninsula. Rajendra also invaded Tambralinga and the Langkasuka Kingdom in modern Malaysia and south Thailand. The Chola forces captured the last ruler of the Sailendra Dynasty Sangrama Vijayatunggavarman. The Chola invasion was the end of Srivijaya. Srivijaya's maritime power declined under Chola attack. After this the Chola Empire conquered large portions of Srivijaya, including its ports of Ligor, Kedah, and Tumasik (now Singapore). The Chola invasion furthered the expansion of Tamil merchant associations such as the Manigramam, Ayyavole, and Ainnurruvar into Southeast Asia. For the next century, Tamil trading companies from southern India dominated Southeast Asia. The expedition of Rajendra Chola I is mentioned in the corrupted form as Raja Chulan in the medieval Malay chronicle "Sejarah Melaya", and Malay princes have names ending with Cholan or Chulan, such as Raja Chulan of Perak. One record of Rajendra Chola describes him as the King of Lamuri in north Sumatra. The Chola invasion led to the fall of the Sailendra Dynasty of Srivijaya and the Chola invasion also coincides with the return voyage of the great Buddhist scholar Atiśa from Sumatra to India in 1025.

paragraph: Section::::Work and legacy.

paragraph: Rajendra Chola built a vast artificial lake, sixteen miles long and three miles wide which was one of the largest man-made lakes in India. The fortified capital of Rajendra Chola was of impressive grandeur and Ottakoothar states, "On seeing Gangapuri, all fourteen worlds encircled by the billowing ocean are overwhelmed with joy". The extent of the empire was the widest in India and the military and naval prestige was at its highest. The successful invasions of Rajendra Chola were applauded by several medieval Tamil poets like Jayamkondan in his text Kalingattupparani and Ottakkoothar in his text Ula.

paragraph: After his successful campaign to Ganges river in north India he got the title "Gangaikonda Chola" (The Chola who took the Ganges river). And after his successful Southeast Asian campaign he got the title "Kadaram Kondan"(He who took Kedah in Malaysia). He founded a new capital city called Gangaikonda Cholapuram and built a Shiva temple similar to the Thanjavur Brihadisvara temple built by his father Rajaraja Chola. He expanded the Pathirakali Amman Temple and Koneswaram temple of Trincomalee. He inherited the title "Mummudi Cholan" (Chola with three crowns) from his father with "Mummudi", a title used by Tamil kings who ruled the three kingdoms of Cholas, Pandyas and Cheras. To commemorate his conquests, Rajendra assumed other titles such as "Mudigonda Cholan" and "Irattapadikonda Cholan".

paragraph: The Malay-language "Hikayat Iskandar Zulkarnain" was written about Alexander the Great as Dhul-Qarnayn and from it the ancestry of several Southeast Asian royal families is traced to Iskandar Zulkarnain, through Rajendra Chola (Raja Suran, Raja Chola) in the "Malay Annals", such as the Sumatran Minangkabau royalty.

paragraph: Section::::Personal life and family.

paragraph: Rajendra Chola had many consorts including Tribuvana or Vanavan Mahadeviar, Mukkokilan,Arindhavan Madevi and Viramadevi, last of whom committed sati upon Rajendra Chola’s death. This act is mentioned in an inscription dated in 26th year of the reign of Rajadhiraja Chola I. It is stated therein that the brother of Viramadevi, a general of Rajendra Chola set up a watershed to quench the thirst of his sister's spirit. The Siddanta Saravali of Trilochana Sivacharya states that Rajendra was a poet and he composed hymns in praise of Shiva. A commentary on the same work states that Rajendra Chola brought a number of Saivas from the banks of the Ganges and settled them in Kanchi and the Chola country. Rajendra Chola had three sons namely Rajadhiraja Chola, Rajendra Chola II and Virarajendra Chola, who followed him on the Chola throne in succession. He had two daughters Pranaar Arul Mozhi Nangai and Ammanga Devi. His campaigns were led by general Senapati Narakkan Sri Krishnan Raman.

paragraph: Section::::Inscriptions.

paragraph: An inscription of the king from the Adhipuriswara temple in Chengalpattu district gives his natal star as Tiruvadarai. Donations were made to the temple to celebrate the king's birthday in the month of Maargali. Another inscription from the Umamahesvara temple in Konerirajapuram, Thanjavur district refers to the donations by Alvar Parantakan Kundavai-Pirattiyar during the third year of the king's reign.

paragraph: Yi Pyong-do

paragraph: Yi Pyong-do (1896, Yongin – 1989) was one of the influential Korean historians but he was also associated with the Japanese view of Korean history.

paragraph: Section::::Japanese collaboration controversy.

paragraph: After the South Korean liberation from the Japan, there was a drive on the part of Korean historians to present a new history of Korea and it was called "Han-guksa sillon". Yi Pyong-do was part of this initiative, which was viewed as new in name only because it inherited the colonialist racial perspective inherited from the Japanese scholarship.

paragraph: Korean historians such as Cho Yun-jae, Son Chin-tae, and Yi In-yong, among other Chindan hakhoe historians followed another direction in their scholarship, which they also labeled "new" - the new nationalist historiography or "sin-minjokjuui yoksahak". This group, specifically, excluded Yi Pyong-do due to his association with the colonial government, particularly the Chosenshi henshukai, which was generally viewed as an instrument used to distort Korean history by suppressing or delegitimizing important texts such as the "Samguk yusa". Some sources, however, point out that the charge could be political because the purge of collaborators became part of the post-liberation Korean politics.

paragraph: Yi Pyong-do, himself, addressed the controversy by stressing that he worked for the Chosenshi henshukai to prevent a Japanese distortion of Korean history, a position that echoed the same argument adopted by other historians identified with the Japanese colonial government.

paragraph: Section::::Biography.

paragraph: He started working in Korean History Compilation Committee in 1927.

paragraph: In 1934 he founded Jindan Institute.

paragraph: From 1945 to 1962 he was Professor of Seoul Nation University.

paragraph: Franz Schmidt (executioner)

paragraph: Franz Schmidt (1555 – 1634), also known as Meister Franz, was an executioner in Hof from 1573 to April 1578, and from 1 May 1578 till the end of 1617 executioner of Nuremberg. He left a diary in which he detailed the 361 executions he performed during his 45 year career.

paragraph: Section::::Personal and professional life.

paragraph: Franz Schmidt's father, Heinrich, was originally a woodsman in the north-eastern Bavarian town Hof. Once, when the notoriously tyrannical margrave of Brandenburg-Kulmbach, Albrecht II (r. 1527–1553), wanted three men hanged, he picked out Heinrich from the crowd and forced him to perform the execution, after which he had no option but to continue in the profession of executioner.

paragraph: Franz Schmidt was probably born in 1555, and was about 18 years old when he became executioner under his father's supervision in Bamberg in 1573. Five years later, in 1578, he secured the post as executioner in Nürnberg. He married the chief executioner's daughter Maria Beck, and eventually became chief executioner after his father-in-law.

paragraph: He fathered seven children, and his salary, on par with the city's wealthiest jurists, allowed him to have a spacious residence in Nürnberg. After his retirement in 1617, he began a new, lucrative career as medical consultant.

paragraph: He was given a state funeral in 1634, in Nürnberg's most prominent cemetery, just a few paces away from the graves of famous individuals like Albrecht Dürer and Hans Sachs.

paragraph: Throughout his career as an executioner, Franz Schmidt also had a side job as a healer. According to Joel Harrington who authored an account of his life, Schmidt's own estimate of patients seeking medical advice amounted to some 15,000 consultations.

paragraph: Section::::Social position of an executioner.

paragraph: The societal position of the professional executioner was ambiguous, as Harrington explains

paragraph: Furthermore,

paragraph: Section::::Significance of diary.

paragraph: His journal of punishments executed by him has survived and contains accounts of 361 executions and 345 minor punishments (floggings and ear or finger amputations). The individual entries contain date, place, and method of execution, name, origin, and station in life of the condemned and – in later years more verbose than in the earlier ones – details of the crimes on which the sentence was based.

paragraph: Schmidt executed criminals by rope, sword, breaking wheel, burning, and drowning. The wheel was reserved for severely violent criminals. Burnings (for homosexual intercourse and counterfeiting money) occurred only twice in his whole career, and drowning – prescribed by the Carolina for a woman committing infanticide – was commuted regularly in the Nuremberg of Schmidt’s time into execution by sword, partly upon the intervention of Schmidt and some clergy.

paragraph: Schmidt's journal is unique as a source of social history and history of law. The autograph no longer exists, but – according to the preface of a modern edition – libraries at Nuremberg and Bamberg owned, as late as 1913, four handwritten copies made between the 17th and the start of the 19th century. The first printed edition appeared in 1801.

paragraph: Freddie Barnes

paragraph: Freddie Lee Barnes (born December 6, 1986) is a former American football wide receiver. He was signed by the Chicago Bears of the National Football League (NFL) as an undrafted free agent in 2010. He played college football at Bowling Green.

paragraph: During 2009, including the Humanitarian Bowl, Barnes accumulated an NCAA Football Bowl Subdivision record 155 receptions for 1,770 yards, 19 receiving touchdowns, as well as two rushing touchdowns. The 155-reception total not only surpassed the Division I record, but also an NCAA All-division record. He also broke Randy Moss' single-season Mid-American Conference yardage record. In addition, he established several Bowling Green Falcons football records during the season. During his senior season, in established numerous receiving records, was named a 2009 College Football All-American and was one of three 2009 Fred Biletnikoff Award finalists. Previously, he had been a multisport athlete at Homewood-Flossmoor High School.

paragraph: Section::::Early years.

paragraph: Barnes attended Homewood-Flossmoor High School in Flossmoor, Illinois, where he earned three letters for the Vikings playing quarterback. He served as team captain and was named team MVP, as well as All-Area and All-Conference in 2004. Barnes also lettered in basketball, where he was a teammate of Julian Wright.

paragraph: Considered only a two-star recruit by "Rivals.com", Barnes was not ranked among the nation's elite quarterback prospects in 2005. He chose Bowling Green over Eastern Michigan and Indiana.

paragraph: Section::::College career.

paragraph: Barnes' freshman season he caught 20 passes for 203 yards, two touchdowns, and rushed for 405 yards and 9 touchdowns. As a sophomore, he caught 82 passes for 962 yards and 9 touchdowns, and was selected for All-Mid-American Conference third team honors. He caught 41 passes for 364 yards, but no touchdowns as a Junior in 2008.

paragraph: During his senior year in 2009 he accumulated 16 touchdown catches and a league leading 138 receptions. He is third in reception yards with 1,551, and among his season's highlights was a school-record 22-catch effort (one short of an NCAA single-game record) for 278 yards, including three touchdowns, in a 36-35 victory over Kent State. Barnes was four receptions away from matching the NCAA single-season record as Bowling Green awaited its bowl game against the Idaho Vandals. In his final game at Bowling Green against the Idaho Vandals in the Humanitarian Bowl, Barnes had 17 receptions for 219 yards and 3 touchdowns including a go-ahead score with 32 seconds left in the game. It turned out to be enough time for the Vandals to answer on their final drive, and they converted a two-point conversion for the win. Barnes established both new Football Bowl Subdivision and All Division single-season reception records by surpassing Manny Hazard and Nick Smart, respectively. On the season, Barnes' 1770 yards surpassed Randy Moss MAC single-season total. Barnes also surpassed several school records such as single-season touchdown receptions and career receptions. Barnes' yardage total and yards per game were second to Danario Alexander among FBS receivers for 2009.

paragraph: Barnes was chosen as one of three finalists for the Fred Biletnikoff Award. Notre Dame's Golden Tate won the award. Barnes was also discussed as a dark horse candidate for the 2009 Heisman Trophy, despite being on a BCS non-AQ conference team and not being a quarterback, based on thirty more catches than any other receiver and being close to the top in touchdowns. Barnes was named to the All-Mid-American Conference first team on December 2, 2009, and on December 12, he was named a 2009 All-American by the Football Writers Association of America.

paragraph: Andrew Jackson King

paragraph: Andrew Jackson King (1833–1923), or A. J. King, was a lawman, lawyer, legislator and judge in 19th Century Los Angeles County, California.

paragraph: Section::::Personal.

paragraph: King was born in Cherokee Purchase Land in Union County, Georgia, the son of Samuel and Martha King. Later his father, Samuel King, who was a tanner and a saddler, took the family to Helena, Arkansas. In 1849 the family moved to Santa Fe, New Mexico Territory.

paragraph: He traveled with his father and brothers Samuel Houston King and Francis King overland in 1852 with forty or fifty other pioneer families to El Monte, the oldest American settlement in Los Angeles County, along the San Gabriel River (now the Rio Hondo), which was inhabited by a mixture of emigrants, largely Texans. The King family laid out a town there that was called Lexington, the present site of El Monte, California.

paragraph: King was married on December 31, 1862, to Laura C. Evertson of Los Angeles. On October 14, 1923, King died at his home in Boyle Heights, 90 years old and the oldest member of the bar in Los Angeles. He was survived by his wife and three children, Frank E. King, Carroll E. King and Corrinne King.

paragraph: He was buried in Savannah Memorial Park Cemetery, in Rosemead.

paragraph: Section::::Vocation.

paragraph: King studied law in Los Angeles with Judge Benjamin Ignatius Hayes, the first district judge of the county. Then they and Judge Scott opened a law office on Main Street, a short distance south of the Los Angeles Plaza. King was also a judge, and he was praised by the "Los Angeles Herald" in December 1853 for putting an end to the practice by the city marshal of spending Sunday "in arresting and imprisoning Indians, supposed to be drunk, until Monday morning and discharged on paying a bill of two dollars and a half each, one dollar of which is the fee of the Marshal." King declared the practice to be unlawful. In 1855 he issued a ruling that Governor Pio Pico "had no authority by law to sell the personal property, Cattle, Horses, &c., of the Mission of Santa Barbara."

paragraph: King became the first county clerk of San Bernardino County in 1853.

paragraph: In March 1854, King was one of the members of the California Militia Company called the Monte Rangers, organized by John G. Downey and others. The unit operated against the Indian raiders and bandits who plagued Southern California like those driven out of San Francisco and the northern gold fields by vigilantes or local bandits like the Flores Daniel Gang.

paragraph: King was elected a member of the California State Assembly in 1859 and was on the committee that located the site for the State Capitol. From 1861 to 1865 he was an undersheriff of Los Angeles County.

paragraph: In 1865, King became a law partner of Judge Murray Morrison. From 1865 to 1870 he was also one of the proprietors and editors of the "Los Angeles News." In 1866 and 1867 he was City Attorney and in 1869, County Judge. In 1873 he printed and published the first city directory. He was one of the founders of the County Agricultural Society in 1871. He was active in aiding and inaugurating many of the early municipal projects of the city of Los Angeles.

paragraph: Section::::U.S. Civil War.

paragraph: As early as 1856, A. J. King, as a Southerner, demonstrated his pro-slavery attitude when as the secretary of the "Democracy of El Monte" organization, signed his name to their resolution:

paragraph: That we will cheerfully support the nominees for State and County officers [of the Democratic Party] at the next general election, and that we will use all honorable means to defeat our opponents, under whatever name they may assume, more especially those who style themselves Black Republicans.

paragraph: During the secession crisis of 1861, he tried to form another militia Company like the Los Angeles Mounted Rifles, the Monte Mounted Rifles, both units with secessionist sympathies. On April 26, 1861, the Monte Mounted Rifles asked Governor Downey for arms. But King ran afoul of Federal authorities. According to the "Sacramento Union" of April 30, 1861, King was brought before Colonel James Henry Carleton and was made to take an oath of allegiance to the Union and was then released. The governor sent the arms, but army officers at San Pedro held them up, preventing the activation of the Monte Mounted Rifles.

paragraph: King did not flee eastward to the Confederacy with the Los Angeles Mounted Rifles but continued his secessionist activities. On April 10, 1862, as the United States Marshal for Southern California, Henry D. Barrows, wrote to the commander of the Department of the Pacific of the Union Army in San Francisco, complaining of anti-Union sentiment in Southern California. The letter said such sentiment "permeates society here among both the high and the low," and reported that:

paragraph: A. J. King, under-sheriff of this county, who has been a bitter secessionist, who said to me that he owed no allegiance to the United States Government; that Jeff Davis was the only constitutional government we had, and that he remained here because he could do more harm to the enemies of that Government by staying here than going there; brought down on the Senator (a steam ship) Tuesday last a large lithograph gilt-framed portrait of Beauregard, the rebel general, which he flaunted before a large crowd at the hotel when he arrived. I induced Colonel Carleton to have him arrested as one of the many dangerous secessionists living in our midst, and to-day he was taken to Camp Drum. He was accompanied by General Volney E. Howard as counsel, and I have but little hope that he will be retained in custody.

paragraph: King was released and remained in office as undersheriff until 1865.

paragraph: Section::::Bella Union Hotel shootout.

paragraph: In 1865 there developed a conflict that came to be called the King-Carlisle feud. There are two stories of the origin of this feud, but the dispute festered between the friends and families of A.J. King and Robert Carlisle for some time. At a ball held in Los Angeles on July 5, 1865, Carlisle attacked A.J. King, and friends separated the men, with King suffering "a gash over the heart and a wound in his right hand." The next day, King's brothers, Frank and Houston, had a shootout with Carlisle inside the saloon of the Bella Union Hotel (owned by John King, another King brother); it resulted in the death of both Frank King and Carlisle. Houston King was charged with the murder of Carlisle, and A.J. King was released from his duties as undersheriff to assist in his brother's legal defense: Houston was acquitted.

paragraph: Hendrik Willem Mesdag

paragraph: Hendrik Willem Mesdag (23 February 1831 – 10 July 1915) was a Dutch marine painter.

paragraph: Section::::Biography.

paragraph: He was born in Groningen, the son of the banker Klaas Mesdag and his wife Johanna Wilhelmina van Giffen. Mesdag was encouraged by his father, an amateur painter, to study art. He married Sina van Houten in 1856, and when they inherited a fortune from her father, Mesdag retired from banking at the age of 35 to pursue a career as a painter.

paragraph: He studied in Brussels with Willem Roelofs and in 1868 moved to The Hague to paint the sea. In 1870 he exhibited at the Paris Salon and won the gold medal for "The Breakers of the North Sea".

paragraph: In 1880 he received a commission from a Belgian company to paint a panorama giving a view over the village of Scheveningen on the North Sea coast near The Hague. With the help of Sina and students he completed the enormous painting, "Panorama Mesdag,"— 14 m high and 120 m around — by 1881. However, the vogue for panoramas was coming to an end, and when the company operating it went bust in 1886, Mesdag purchased the painting at auction and thereafter funding its operating losses from his own pocket.

paragraph: He joined the art society of The Hague (the "Pulchri Studio") and in 1889 was elected chairman. In 1903 he gave his house at Laan van Meerdervoort and his collection of paintings to the Netherlands; the house is now the Museum Mesdag.

paragraph: Rod Bernard

paragraph: Rod Bernard (born August 12, 1940) is an American singer who helped to pioneer the musical genre known as "swamp pop", which combined New Orleans-style rhythm and blues, country and western, and Cajun and black Creole music. He is generally considered one of the foremost musicians of this south Louisiana-east Texas idiom, along with such notables as Bobby Charles, Johnnie Allan, Tommy McLain, and Warren Storm.

paragraph: Section::::Life and career.

paragraph: Bernard was born on August 12, 1940, in Opelousas, Louisiana. His parents were French-speaking Cajuns from working-class backgrounds, and as a child he imbibed the traditional Cajun French music performed in his grandfather's dancehall, the Courtableu Inn, located in nearby Port Barre, Louisiana. There he heard the music of noted Cajun musicians Aldus Roger, Papa Cairo, and Jimmy C. Newman, as well as zydeco pioneer Clifton Chenier, all of whom would exert a strong influence on Bernard's music.

paragraph: Around age eight Bernard obtained his first guitar (an acoustic Gene Autry model) and around 1950 he began to perform with the Blue Room Gang, a Cajun-country troupe sponsored by local Red Bird brand sweet potatoes. During this period Bernard also hosted his own live music radio program on KSLO in Opelousas, singing Cajun and country tunes while strumming his guitar in emulation of his musical hero, Hank Williams, Sr.

paragraph: In the mid-1950s, however, Bernard came under the influence of rock and roll and rhythm and blues music, especially the sounds of Fats Domino and Elvis Presley. Around 1957 he helped to form a rock 'n' roll band made up of fellow Opelousas teenagers. Calling themselves The Twisters, they recorded two singles for the obscure Carl label of Opelousas. The next year Bernard and his group recorded the sultry ballad "This Should Go On Forever" for recordman Floyd Soileau’s Jin label of Ville Platte, Louisiana. Leased to Argo Records of Chicago, the song became a national hit in 1959, propelling Bernard onto Dick Clark's "American Bandstand", "The Dick Clark Saturday Night Beechnut Show", and "The Alan Freed Show", as well as onto tours with Jerry Lee Lewis, Frankie Avalon, Chuck Berry, and B. B. King, among others.

paragraph: A follow-up single for Argo, "You're On My Mind," backed with "My Life Is A Mystery," failed to achieve the success of his initial national release. In late 1959 Bernard signed with producer Bill Hall of Beaumont, Texas, who switched the artist to Mercury Records, which unwisely replaced Bernard’s earthy swamp pop style with lush violin sections and female choruses. Only one minor hit, "One More Chance," emerged from these overproduced Nashville sessions.

paragraph: Around 1962 Bernard left Mercury for Bill Hall's own Hall-Way label in Beaumont, Texas. Recording with local artists Johnny Winter and Edgar Winter, he released several notable tunes, including "Fais Do Do," "Who's Gonna Rock My Baby," and a rock 'n' roll version of the Cajun folksong "Allons Danser Colinda," the latter of which achieved national airplay and remains a regional favorite in south Louisiana and east Texas.

paragraph: A stint in the U.S. Marine Corps boot camp interrupted Bernard's musical career, but after several months he returned to south Louisiana to form The Shondells (not to be confused with Tommy James' group) with fellow swamp pop musicians Warren Storm and Skip Stewart. (Bernard served in the Marine Corps Reserve from 1962 to 1968, reaching the rank of sergeant.) During the mid-1960s the group recorded several singles for the La Louisianne label of Lafayette, Louisiana, and they hosted a live dance program on KLFY-TV called "Saturday Hop." This program inspired their circa 1965 album, "The Shondells at the Saturday Hop", issued on La Louisianne.

paragraph: During this period Bernard recorded singles for Huey Meaux's Teardrop and Copyright labels, and for Soileau's familiar Jin label. Isolated singles appeared on the Scepter and Shelby Singleton's SSS International labels. These sessions included notable releases such as the Chuck Berry-type rocker "Recorded in England," the Cajun two-step inspired "Papa Thibodeaux," and the doleful ballad "Congratulations To You Darling."

paragraph: Bernard performed infrequently during the 1970s, but returned to his roots by releasing several country and western albums, including "Country Lovin’" and "Nightlights And Love Songs". He also issued the album "Boogie in Black and White" with Clifton Chenier, considered a milestone by many because of its raucous blend of Cajun and black Creole elements. One music writer, John Broven, described it as "a wild and woolly rock 'n' roll set with spontaneity one normally only dreams about," while another, Larry Benicewicz, claimed that "such a masterpiece, no doubt, spawned other 'experiments' like Wayne Toups' 'ZydeCajun' style or, perhaps, a Zachary Richard 'Zach Attack,' a similar fusion of Cajun, zydeco, and R&B."

paragraph: Around 1980 he recorded an album of Fats Domino favorites for Jin, titled "A Lot of Dominoes", but the masters disappeared until around 1991, when the tracks were finally released (albeit only on cassette). In 2003 he recorded his first new album in over two decades. Titled "Louisiana Tradition", the compact disk appeared on the CSP label of Forney, Texas, and included several new songs, as well as reworkings of vintage south Louisiana tunes like fellow swamp pop musician Bobby Charles' "Later Alligator."

paragraph: In June 2006 Bernard re-recorded his spoken-word single "A Tear In The Lady's Eye," which he had originally written and recorded in 1968 as a pro-military response to anti-Vietnam War protestors. (The "Lady" of the song is the Statue of Liberty.) In the revised version, however, Bernard addressed Americans who opposed the ongoing war in Iraq. At his own expense Bernard pressed a handful of CD singles containing the revision, which he distributed for airplay to select radio stations and programs, mainly in south Louisiana.

paragraph: Many of Bernard's songs have been reissued on compact disk both in the U.S. and abroad, and continue to receive much regional airplay. Significantly, younger generations of south Louisiana musicians, including C. C. Adcock, Marc Broussard, and Zachary Richard have acknowledged him as a strong musical influence.

paragraph: Bernard last performed in public in 2015 at the Ponderosa Stomp music festival in New Orleans. He retired from his career as a radio advertising executive in January 2018.

paragraph: Kyle Woodring

paragraph: Kyle Woodring (February 27, 1967 – September 8, 2009) was a studio and concert drummer living in the Chicago, Illinois area. Born and raised in Mason, Michigan. He began playing drums at the age of four, and studied percussion privately for ten years before enrolling in the School of Music at MSU after graduating from high school.

paragraph: Section::::Career.

paragraph: After college, Woodring moved to Chicago, Illinois, with musicians Jan James and Craig Calvert as the percussive force behind the blues/rock band Jewel Fetish. While recording with the band, Kyle was introduced to a number of Chicago area musicians and producers who helped him establish a base in the competitive Chicago music scene. In 1989, Kyle began a stint as the drummer for the Chicago rock band Survivor. He appears in the band's video for "Didn't Know it Was Love" (from the 1988 "Too Hot to Sleep" album) which was featured on MTV. Kyle also recorded a track for the band's 1993 re-release of their "Best of" album.

paragraph: Woodring performed briefly with John Mellencamp in 1996, a project which led him to begin touring and recording for the next eight years with country music star Deana Carter. In addition to Carter, Woodring began performing with Dennis DeYoung, the founder and former frontman for the band Styx. From 2000 to 2009, Woodring was the drummer for DeYoung, who plays concerts with both a five-piece band and, at times, a symphony orchestra. Woodring was featured in the Soundstage production of Deyoung's music, released in 2002. In 2007, Deyoung released a new CD in Quebec, Canada entitled "One Hundred Years from Now". The title song went to the #1 spot in the Quebec charts during the summer of 2007. In January 2008, Woodring completed the recording of two additional tracks for the American release of the CD, scheduled for the summer of 2008.

paragraph: In October 2007, Woodring began a stint as the drummer for the Chicago production of the hit musical Jersey Boys. This show later ended its Chicago run on January 10, 2010.

paragraph: Section::::Death.

paragraph: Woodring died on September 8, 2009 at his home in Lockport, IL as the result of suicide. His brother, Kirk Woodring, posted the following information on Kyle's Facebook page: "Kyle struggled for most of his life with depression. At times his depression overwhelmed him. Despite all he had in his life, he was often unable to recognize his worth to the world. On September 8th he succeeded in committing suicide. I feel helpless and saddened to not have been able to help Kyle in his last hours. I'm sure many of you share this feeling of guilt. I also know that those truly intent on suicide rarely reach out once they are committed to the act. In fact the decision to act on these thoughts can bring about a sense of peace and calm. Depression is sometimes a terminal illness. I love my brother deeply and know how wonderful his life was. I will celebrate his light and know that the darkness is no longer present for him."

paragraph: On September 9, 2009 Survivor guitarist Frankie Sullivan wrote on his Facebook page "I am deeply saddened to have learned of the passing of my friend and one time Survivor Drummer Kyle Woodring. He was the best of people and will be dearly missed by all. Godspeed Kyle."

paragraph: On September 10, 2009 Dennis DeYoung posted a picture of Woodring on his website with a message that read 'A gathering of angels appeared above my head.' In memory of my good friend Kyle Woodring.

paragraph: Memorial services were held for Woodring in late September,2009 in East Lansing, Michigan and Chicago, Illinois. Those in attendance ranged from Kyle's childhood friends to many of the musicians he worked with over the years, including Dennis Deyoung, Robbie Fulks, Joan Hammel, Jan James, and others.

paragraph: In December 2009 his high school classmates established a fund in Woodring's name, which was later used to commission a composition by American composer Brian Balmages. The composition is for symphony and concert bands and is entitled "Backstage Pass," honoring Woodring and his career. The Mason High School Symphonic Band in Mason, Michigan premiered the composition May 17, 2015. The composition combines influences of jazz, theatrical and ambient music. According to Balmages, the composition "was one of the most challenging and gratifying for me as a composer. I really hoped to capture Kyle's life and musical influence." Balmages states that he drew from a musical theme that runs throughout Kyle's CD, "A Child's Gift" which is available on iTunes.

paragraph: Boštjan Hladnik

paragraph: Boštjan Hladnik (30 January 1929 – 30 May 2006) was a Yugoslavian/Slovene filmmaker.

paragraph: Hladnik was born in Kranj. He started with amateur short films after acquiring a projector and a 8mm camera in 1947. From 1949 he studied at the Academy for Theatre, Radio, Film and Television in Ljubljana and made a name for himself with several highly acclaimed short films. In 1957, Hladnik moved to Paris to apprentice under French filmmakers such as Claude Chabrol, Philipe de Broca, and Robert Siodmak. Hladnik's early-'60s features, Ples v dežju (Dance in the Rain) (1961) and Peščeni grad/Sand Castle (1962), influenced the course of Yugoslav cinema, through integrating influences from the nouvelle vague into it. Hladnik has an obsession with eroticism. He made many films dealing openly with sex and his Erotikon (1963), with its openly sensual approach to taboo sexual relationships, not only triggered angry protests in the press, but it also led to it being banned in some Yugoslav republics. Western European critics and public however, supported Hladnik enough for him to find foreign backing for his even more provocative feature film on sexuality, Maškarada/Masquerade(1971). Hladnik died in Ljubljana in 2006.

paragraph: Pentecost Dodderidge

paragraph: Pentecost Dodderidge (died c. 1650) of Barnstaple in North Devon, was three times Member of Parliament for Barnstaple in 1621, 1624 and 1625.

paragraph: Section::::Origins.

paragraph: Dodderidge was a son of Richard Doddridge, merchant, of Barnstaple. His elder brother was Sir John Dodderidge (1555–1628), of Bremridge, near South Molton, Devon, Justice of the King's Bench in 1612 and MP for Barnstaple in 1589 and for Horsham in 1604, whose splendid recumbent effigy exists in the Lady Chapel of Exeter Cathedral.

paragraph: The Dodderidge family took its name from a manor in the parish of Sandford, near Crediton. Richard Dodderidge was the son of a wool merchant and was born in South Molton, in which town he married. With his wife and eight children before 1582 he moved to Holland Street, Barnstaple and served as Mayor of Barnstaple in 1589. A certain John Dodderidge, perhaps a relation, is recorded earlier in 1579 as mayor of Barnstaple. In 1585 Richard bought a house in Cross Street from his fellow burgess Thomas Skinner, which descended in turn to his sons Sir John and to the latter's brother Pentecost Dodderidge (d. circa 1650. This large timber-framed house, known as the "Dodderidge House" was demolished in about 1900 to make way for a post office, the present large sandstone building with the date "1901" sculpted on its parapet. A room of ornate carved oak panelling dated 1617 from this house survives in Barnstaple Guildhall, known as the "Dodderidge Room" and an ornate overmantel displays the date 1617 between the initials "PD" and "ED", signifying Pentecost and his wife Elizabeth. The room is now used to display the Corporation's silver and the mayor's regalia.

paragraph: Richard entered the shipping business and owned a 100-ton prize-ship named "Prudence", a privateer effectively engaged in licensed piracy. She is recorded as having had 80 men on board in 1590, and landed a record prize taken off the Guinea Coast, probably from Spanish galleons from South America, consisting of four chests of gold worth £16,000 with in addition chains of gold and civet-fur. The gold landed at Barnstaple from this voyage weighed 320 lbs. Between June and October 1590 "Prudence" sent back to Barnstaple two further prizes of unrecorded value and in January 1592 brought in a prize of £10,000. In March 1596 the Privy Council ordered the mayor of Barnstaple to send a ship to challenge two or three Spanish ships in the Irish Sea and the "Prudence" was selected for this task. She was victualled for five months, for a crew of 40, at a cost exceeding £900, borne by the North Devon population. On 8 August 1596 she returned to Barnstaple, loaded with much pillage taken during the attack on Cadiz conducted by Lords Essex and Howard. Richard received at some time letters patent as one of six west country merchants licensed to trade with "the River of Senegal and Gambia in Guinea". Richard presented to the Corporation of Barnstaple "a great boale with its covering, wrought in silver and a silver-gilt table lamp".

paragraph: Section::::Career.

paragraph: He was Mayor of Barnstaple in 1611, 1627 and 1637, and in 1621 was elected Member of Parliament for Barnstaple and was re-elected MP for Barnstaple in 1624 and 1625.

paragraph: Section::::Inheritance.

paragraph: In 1628 he inherited the estate of Bremridge, near South Molton, on the death of his brother Sir John Doddridge.

paragraph: Section::::Marriage and children.

paragraph: Dodderidge married Elizabeth Wescombe of Barnstaple on 12 February 1599. Their children included John Dodderidge (died 1659), MP.

paragraph: Section::::Death.

paragraph: Dodderidge died in about 1650.

paragraph: Frank R. Fratellenico

paragraph: Frank Rocco Fratellenico (July 14, 1951 – August 19, 1970) 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: Fratellenico joined the Army from Albany, New York in 1969, and by August 19, 1970 was serving as a Corporal in Company B, 2d Battalion, 502nd Infantry Regiment, 1st Brigade, 101st Airborne Division. During a firefight on that day, in Quang Tri Province, Republic of Vietnam, Fratellenico was about to throw a hand grenade when he was wounded, causing him to drop the activated device. He then smothered the grenade with his body, sacrificing his life to protect his fellow soldiers from the blast.

paragraph: While he was originally buried, his remains were exhumed in 1997 and cremated, after which his ashes were taken to Thailand.

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

paragraph: Corporal Fratellenico's official Medal of Honor citation reads:

paragraph: Cpl. Fratellenico distinguished himself while serving as a rifleman with Company B. Cpl. Fratellenico's squad was pinned down by intensive fire from 2 well-fortified enemy bunkers. At great personal risk Cpl. Fratellenico maneuvered forward and, using hand grenades, neutralized the first bunker which was occupied by a number of enemy soldiers. While attacking the second bunker, enemy fire struck Cpl. Fratellenico, causing him to fall to the ground and drop a grenade which he was preparing to throw. Alert to the imminent danger to his comrades, Cpl. Fratellenico retrieved the grenade and fell upon it an instant before it exploded. His heroic actions prevented death or serious injury to 4 of his comrades nearby and inspired his unit which subsequently overran the enemy position. Cpl. Fratellenico's conspicuous gallantry, extraordinary heroism, and intrepidity at the cost of his life, above and beyond the call of duty, are in keeping with the highest traditions of the military service and reflect great credit on him, his unit, and the U.S. Army.
