paragraph: Spinetta II Malaspina

paragraph: Spinetta Malaspina II, Duke of Gravina in Apulia (died 1398) was an Italian nobleman. Son of Galeotto I Malaspina, he was the third Marquis of Fosdinovo.

paragraph: Section::::Biography.

paragraph: Probably born at Fosdinovo, Spinetta II Malaspina was the son of the Marquis of Fosdinovo Galeotto I Malaspina (1355-1367) and a nephew of Spinetta Malaspina, Lord of Fosdinovo (1340-1352). On the death of his father, he and his brothers Gabriele and Leonardo Malaspina were raised by their mother Argentina Grimaldi, a Genoese noblewoman who had previously been the widow of the marquis Morello Malaspina of Giovagallo.

paragraph: In the name of his sons, he brought a case before Emperor Charles IV against relatives who, taking advantage of Galeotti's death, had stripped his family of lands and castles. The emperor, on April 18, 1369, followed the appeal of Argentina by appointing three doctors and a lawyer from the Roman Curia to resolve the dispute.

paragraph: Regaining the possession of their ancestral lands, the sons Gabriele, Spinetta, and Leonardo remained under the tutelage of Argentina until they reached an age that would allow them to govern.

paragraph: Of these, Spinetta and Leonardo stood out in particular, who were appointed knights on the occasion of the succession of Antonio and Bartolomeo II della Scala to the lordship of Verona in 1375. The two brothers lived in Verona until 1381, the year in which Antonio della Scala had his brother Bartolomeo killed, and then charged the murder to several courtiers, including the two Malaspina. Spinetta, banned from Verona along with his brother, became a "captain of fortune", fighting under different armies, including that of Duke Gian Galeazzo Visconti.

paragraph: Since 1367, in the meantime, his eldest brother Gabriele I Malaspina had at least formally held the title of Marquis of Fosdinovo, whose Marquisate is enigmatically shrouded in fog. At Gabriele's death, which took place without legitimate heirs in 1390, Spinetta returned to Fosdinovo to take care of his interests and to define with his brother Leonardo the subdivision of the feud, which moreover had returned to include the domains previously assigned to his uncle Guglielmo, since his progeny was already extinct in 1374.

paragraph: The agreement was reached in 1393, the year in which the remaining sons of Galeotto divided the territory conquered by his great-uncle.

paragraph: In Spinetta II Malaspina, formerly Duke of Gravina in Puglia for having distinguished himself in the service of the Anjou (thus obtaining from Charles III the investiture, for himself and his heirs, of that title) from March 25, 1385 and namesake of Spinetta the Great (the Roman number should not be there, since the first Spinetta was never a Marquis, but was placed as a matter of respect and reverence towards it), went the Feud of Fosdinovo (including Fosdinovo, Marciaso, Tendola, Posterla, Colla, villa of Bardine inferiore, San Terenzo, Giucano (then called Zuccano), Pompilio, Cecina, Castelnuovo, Vallecchia, Gorasco and other minor villages) and therefore also the title of Marquis of Fosdinovo, while to Leonardo I Malaspina (1393-1403) went the feud of Castel dell'Aquila ( Gragnola ), which included Viano, Casola, Gassano, Tenerano, Isolano, Monzone, Vinca, Equi, Ajola, Monte de' Bianchi, Ugliano, Montefiore, Argigliano, Codiponte of Cassano, Cortila, Prato-Alebbio, Sercognano, Colognole, the possessions held in Migliarina (district of Genoa, Lunense diocese), as well as property located in the territory of Massa and Montignoso.

paragraph: Thus the family of Fosdinovo derives its origin from Spinetta, while the family of the marquesses of Castel dell'Aquila starts from Leonardo. The split between the two houses will be recomposed for the first time already in the second half of the fifteenth century, but only for a short time. Only in 1644, Gragnola will return for a long time to the jurisdiction of Fosdinovo, to remain there until the 1980s.

paragraph: Section::::Offspring.

paragraph: He married Giovanna Gambacorti and, secondly, after August 1390, Margherita Barbiano of the Counts of Cunio, who held the marquisate in the first years after her husband's death, for the tender age of her children. He had two children:

paragraph: BULLET::::- Gabriele Malaspina (? - 1405), died young.

paragraph: BULLET::::- Antonio Alberico I Malaspina ( ? - April 9, 1445), fourth Marquis of Fosdinovo (1398-1445) and Lord of Massa (1442-1445).

paragraph: Walter Beick

paragraph: Walter Beick (1 October 1883 – 25 March 1933) was a Baltic-Russian ornithologist who explored and studied the birdlife of Tibet and Mongolia. He made large collections of specimens and several species have been described based on his collections and named after him.

paragraph: Beick was born in Võru, Estonia, which was then a Baltic province of Russia. The son of a lawyer, he went to school at St. Petersburg in the gymnasium of Dr Wiedemann and then at the Eberswalde forestry school. He served in the First World War with the Russian army and was wounded on the German front. He then settled in Russian Turkestan and from 1916 began to make hunting trips from the Ala-tau mountains. His knowledge of the region led to him being chosen to lead a commando expedition against nomadic tribes. In 1917 he moved to Prezewalsk on the shore of Issy-Kul and in 1918 he worked in the forest service in Sepsinsk. He was briefly the director of the Forest School in Werny. In 1920 he was forced to give up all his possessions including his collections to the Bolsheviks and fled to Chinese Turkestan where he lived by hunting and fishing. In 1925 he was supported for a collection expedition to Ebi Nor by the Berlin Museum under the director Paul Matschie. He travelled to Siningfu in 1927 where he met and travelled with Wilhelm Fischner and then moved on to the South Tetung followed by Koku Nor along with Friedrich Wagner. He then moved to Sining and stayed for two years. He joined Birger Bohlin of the Sven Hedin Expedition and spent some time in Tsag Nor and was hoping to return to Germany. On the way at Wajan Tori he suffered from a breakdown and in a fit of depression he shot himself. He was buried in the desert with a cross inscribed ""Walter Beick, 25 March 1933"" at 42° N, 101° 19′ 6″ E.

paragraph: Subspecies that have been named after him include the following, although not all are now considered valid.

paragraph: BULLET::::- "Dendrocopus major beicki" a subspecies of the great spotted woodpecker

paragraph: BULLET::::- "Prunella rubeculoides beicki" a subspecies of the robin accentor

paragraph: BULLET::::- "Phoenicurus schisticeps beicki" a subspecies of the white-throated redstart

paragraph: Obi Kaufmann

paragraph: Obi Kaufmann (born 1973) is an American naturalist, writer, and illustrator. He is the author of "The California Field Atlas", a guide to the state's ecology and geography. The book features hundreds of his watercolor paintings of maps, wildlife, and other aspects of nature.

paragraph: Section::::Early life and education.

paragraph: Kaufmann was born in Hollywood, California in 1973. His father, William J. Kaufmann III, was an astrophysicist who served as director of the Griffith Observatory from 1970 to 1974, and also a writer of several books about physics. His mother is a clinical psychologist.

paragraph: In 1978, his family moved from Southern California to Danville, California, a town in the East Bay region of the San Francisco Bay Area. While living there, Kaufmann spent an extensive amount of time exploring Mount Diablo State Park.

paragraph: Kaufmann studied at the University of California, Santa Barbara (UCSB). He entered as a biology major but switched to visual arts after finding inspiration in wildlife painting and the rock art of the Chumash people. While at UCSB, he took art classes under the painter Ciel Bergman.

paragraph: Section::::Career.

paragraph: After college, Kaufmann lived in the Pacific Northwest before moving to Oakland, California in the early 2000s, where he has resided since. Shortly after his return to the Bay Area, he switched from oil painting to watercolor. He has contributed wildlife artwork to a variety of publications. He was an arts writer for the "East Bay Express", an alt weekly serving the East Bay. Beginning in 2009, the brand Juniper Ridge employed Kaufmann as its "chief storyteller"; he eventually quit after he "got sick of selling shit." He later collaborated with the Swedish denim brand Indigofera on a line of natural-fabric clothing. He has worked as a tattoo artist for several years, dating back to his time living in the Pacific Northwest. While he was preparing "The California Field Atlas", he only took breaks to go on hikes or to work at a tattoo parlor in Oakland.

paragraph: Kaufmann is a conservationist and has given talks across California on ecology and preservation of nature.

paragraph: Section::::Career.:"The California Field Atlas" and other books.

paragraph: In 2017, the Berkeley nonprofit Heyday Books published Kaufmann's first book, "The California Field Atlas". The book was a surprise commercial success: it sold out of its first two printings, generating pent-up demand, and became a regional bestseller. It was a recipient of numerous California book awards.

paragraph: His next book, "The State of Water: Understanding California's Most Precious Resource", was released in June 2019.

paragraph: Lars Gullin

paragraph: Lars Gunnar Victor Gullin (4 May 1928 – 17 May 1976) was a Swedish jazz saxophonist.

paragraph: Section::::Career.

paragraph: Lars Gullin was a child prodigy on the accordion. At age thirteen, he played clarinet in a military band and later learned the alto saxophone, but after moving to Stockholm in 1947 became a professional musician as a pianist. He planned on a classical career, studying privately with classical pianist Sven Brandel. Although he actually filled the baritone chair in Seymour Österwall’s band in 1949 by chance, it was enough for him to decide that it was an instrument with possibilities, influenced too by hearing the United States baritone saxophonist Gerry Mulligan for the first time on the "Birth of the Cool" recordings. He worked as a member of Arne Domnérus’s septet (initially co-led by the trumpeter Rolf Ericson) for two years from 1951; the group mainly performed at Nalen, a leading dance spot in Stockholm.

paragraph: At the same time he began to work with visiting American musicians, recording with James Moody, Zoot Sims and Clifford Brown. Most importantly, he first performed with Lee Konitz in 1951, an association which was to be repeated several times in future years.

paragraph: He formed his own group in 1953, probably the only regular group he was to lead. It was short-lived, breaking up that November, after Gullin was responsible for causing the group to be involved in an automobile accident, although no one was seriously hurt. The next year, 1954, he won the best newcomer award in the United States "Down Beat" magazine, after two March 1953 Swedish sessions were leased and issued by Contemporary Records as a 10” LP. Later Gullin albums were leased to Atlantic Records in the United States. Gullin toured several European countries with Chet Baker in October 1955, in a group which was marred by tragedy; it was Gullin who found the body of the group's pianist Dick Twardzik, victim of a heroin overdose, on 21 October, in a Paris hotel room.

paragraph: The remainder of Gullin’s career was blighted by his own narcotics problems, and sometimes he survived on artists’ grants from the Swedish government. He was restricted by illness for much of the later part of 1958. During most of 1959 Gullin was active in Italy, he played with Chet Baker again and with the jazz alto saxophonist (and businessman) Flavio Ambrosetti, making radio broadcasts with him in Lausanne, Switzerland.

paragraph: In the 1960s he continued to work occasionally with leading American players, including Archie Shepp, with whom he recorded in 1963. One of his last major statements was his "Aeros aromatic atomica suite" recorded in 1973.

paragraph: He died of a heart attack, brought on by his long-term addiction to methadone. A recording jointly led by Lee Konitz and pianist Lars Sjösten, "Dedicated to Lee … Play the Music of Lars Gullin" was recorded in 1983, and issued by Dragon Records, who have also issued 11 CDs of Gullin’s recordings. The film "Sven Klang's Combo" ("Sven Klangs kvintett", 1976) is a fictionalised version of the Swedish jazz scene of the 1950s, and the saxophonist Lars is indeed based on Gullin.

paragraph: His son, Peter Gullin, (12 April 1959, Milan, Italy – 7 October 2003, Uppsala, Sweden) was also a baritone saxophonist and composer. The elder Gullin’s composition "Peter of April" was dedicated to him. The classic tune "Danny's Dream" was dedicated to his first son Danny Gullin and "Gabriella" to his daughter, Gabriella Gullin (born 1961), a composer and conductor.

paragraph: Constantin C. Arion

paragraph: Constantin C. Arion (also known as Costică Arion; June 18, 1855 – June 27, 1923) was a Romanian politician, affiliated with the National Liberal Party, the Conservative Party and, after 1918, the People's Party. He served two terms as Minister of Religion and Public Instruction, one term as Minister of Agriculture, and another one as Interior Minister before World War I. His career peaked in 1918, when he was Minister of Foreign Affairs.

paragraph: A young lawyer who supported political reform, Arion moved progressively to the right, and, ca. 1885, became involved with the political club "Junimea". As a Conservative policymaker and disciple of Alexandru Marghiloman, he rewrote legislation on education reform and brought the Romanian Orthodox Church under the control of its high clergy. Like Marghiloman, Arion supported the Central Powers during most of World War I, a position which seemed to carry most weight during the 1918 armistice. His participation in the Marghiloman government recovered for Romania the region of Bessarabia, but the subsequent return of Ententist forces made him a political suspect. He spent the remainder of his life as a marginal.

paragraph: In addition to his presence in political life, Arion was an art patron, university professor, and philanthropist. He was the brother of Virgil Arion, and the father of Dinu C. Arion.

paragraph: Section::::Biography.

paragraph: Section::::Biography.:Early life and career.

paragraph: The Arions were an old Wallachian family, first attested in Brăila ca. 1696, and integrated into the boyar aristocracy in the mid-18th century. Its reputation was stained by two members: Constantin Eracle Arion and Anton I. Arion, who had committed massive bank fraud throughout the early 1870s.

paragraph: Constantin (born in Bucharest on June 18, 1855) and Virgil C. Arion were the sons of Appellate Judge Constantin Arion and Sevastița, née Urlățeanu. Constantin C. followed in his father's footsteps, graduating in Law from the University of Paris (Doctorate in 1876) and in Political Science from Sciences Po. Upon his return to Romania, he was made Cabinet Secretary of Foreign Minister Vasile Boerescu, then head of Political Affairs, but left in 1881 to set up legal practice.

paragraph: Two years later, he was also employed by the University of Bucharest Faculty of Law, where he lectured in business and admiralty law. He received tenure in 1913, and became editor of the academic journal, "Revista Critică de Drept, Legislație și Jurisprudență" ("Critical Review of Law, Legislation and Jurisprudence"). Virgil had a similar career in law and academia, while a third brother, Scarlat Arion, was a landowner and a Romanian consul in Bitola.

paragraph: C. C. Arion made his debut in politics as a National Liberal, ran in the elections of 1884, and was elected to the Assembly of Deputies in Ilfov County. At the time, he was dedicated to the cause of representative democracy, and paid homage to the leadership of Romanian radicalism.

paragraph: By the mid-1880s, C. C. Arion had become jaded with the ideals of liberalism, and was hostile toward National Liberal Premier, Ion Brătianu. During 1886, Arion, Take Ionescu and Nicolae Fleva were the main "United Opposition" agitators who tried to seal a pact with the "Junimea" conservatives, in an effort to topple the National Liberals. He first attended "Junimea" club meetings around 1885, when he met and befriended the "Junimist" leader, Titu Maiorescu. The group had past its prime, and, as Maiorescu recorded in his private notes, the sessions attended by Arion were "rather dull". The conservative association had been traditionally hostile toward Arion's "unproductive" and "lawyerly" liberalism. As "Junimist" poet-critic Mihai Eminescu once wrote, the Arion brothers were "the runts, the intellectual and moral plebs, ... everything basest and most degraded that one can expect to find in the cities of the Romanian nation".

paragraph: In later years, Arion focused on his cultural projects. From 1896, he was president of the national school and public libraries board ("Casa Şcoalelor"), where he employed the services of poet George Coșbuc. His legal expertise was demanded in Romania v. Nicolae Georgescu, a "cause célèbre" for honor crime in Romania. Arion represented the civil party, Aurelia Stelorian, whom Georgescu had vitriolaged; his adversary in court was another famous lawyer, Barbu Ștefănescu Delavrancea. Arion and Delavrancea both were celebrity guests at the Bucharest lecture tour of Joséphin Péladan, the French mystic and novelist (1898).

paragraph: Section::::Biography.:Conservative politico.

paragraph: Returning to public life as a "constitutionalist" conservative, Arion joined "Junimea" and served as Minister of Religion and Public Instruction under Premier Petre P. Carp. His efforts centered on bringing the Romanian Orthodox Church under government control, with the purpose of regulating religious education. He oversaw the collecting and publishing historical documents, edited by Nicolae Iorga.

paragraph: Arion made significant efforts to reverse the policies adopted by Spiru Haret, his National Liberal predecessor. He sacked Haret's favorites and replaced them with "Junimea" men, but also introduced legislation which made bureaucratic office incompatible with a teaching position. The two politicians also differed in matters of church policies. Haret had favored the married clergy over the elitist Romanian Synod, creating a Consistory to represent both sides. Arion reversed that reform, and unwittingly prolonged the conflict well into the 20th century.

paragraph: After the Carp government was dissolved in 1901, Arion returned to academic life. He was still active with the constitutionalist "Junimists", worked as editorial adviser for their magazine, "Convorbiri Literare", and, in 1907, followed them into their merger with the Conservative Party. Answering Maiorescu's call, Arion and Delavrancea became political journalists for the main Conservative-"Junimist" daily, "Epoca". By also appointing Arion at "Convorbiri Literare", Maiorescu was reaffirming his directorial role. Arion and other new staff members were supposed to undermine the editorial policies of Ioan Bogdan and Mihail Dragomirescu. Maiorescu dismissed Bogdan's previous management as a triumph of "mârlănie" ("churliness"), and hoped to reverse the trend.

paragraph: This period saw Arion networking and organizing political cabals. He personally intervened to ensure the full-time employment of aspiring jurists, including Paul Negulescu and his own nephew, Ion Peretz. He met and befriended Ion Luca Caragiale, the "Junimist" political satirist. Together with Caragiale and Delavrancea, Arion could be seen dining at the Ploiești restaurant owned by Constantin Dobrogeanu-Gherea. From 1909, Arion was also active as a philanthropist, serving on the board of Queen Elisabeth's charitable society, and as honorary president of the Romanian Artists' Society.

paragraph: Arion was again appointed Public Instruction Minister in 1910, when Carp was named Premier of a Conservative cabinet. He preserved this position after Carp was replaced with Maiorescu, while also serving as head of Internal Affairs and Agriculture and Royal Domains. It fell on Arion to adopt the set of agricultural reforms that National Liberal politicians had been postponing ever since the Peasants' Revolt of 1907. At Public Instruction, he also granted religious and educational privileges to the Albanian-Romanian community. During the interval, he was elected honorary member of the Romanian Academy.

paragraph: Arion's mandate witnessed another outbreak of civic disobedience, this time centered on the public cult of liberal symbols, including images of "Domnitor" Alexander John Cuza. In order to avoid a showdown between the Conservatives and the National Liberals, Arion agreed to inaugurate the Cuza monument of Iași. At the time, Arion also made public his approval of Romanian irredentism, in respect to Bessarabia region (taken by the Russian Empire in 1812). He gave his approval to commemorative marches, and engaged in a publicized row with anti-irredentist Conservatives, such as Mayor Dimitrie Greceanu.

paragraph: Arion slowly aligned his educational policies with Haret's principles. The "Arion Law", adopted by Parliament in 1912, established clear criteria for the promotion of teachers and academics, ensuring greater professionalization: teaching positions were granted on the basis of a solid scientific reputation in the respective field of expertise. However, the reform law became especially noted for its loopholes, which allowed senior teachers to reserve academic chairs in advance.

paragraph: Section::::Biography.:World War I and after.

paragraph: Arion was close to the Conservative leaders Carp and Alexandru Marghiloman, and detested their competitor, Nicolae Filipescu. He became president of the Bucharest Conservative Club just shortly after the start of World War I. Under a National Liberal government, Romania remained a neutral country, a policy that was welcomed by the senior, "Germanophile", Conservatives: Carp, Maiorescu, Marghiloman. They were hotly opposed by another Conservative faction, under Filipescu and Take Ionescu, who demanded engagement on the Entente side. As noted by his Conservative colleagues, Arion was "an optimist" committed to the Entente, but followed Marghiloman's lead.

paragraph: Eventually, in June 1916, the government announced that Romania had joined the Entente, and a trans-party war cabinet was suggested. Arion refused to be part of this project, declaring his sympathy for the Central Powers, and the Conservative Party split in half. Constantin's brother Virgil and his son, Dinu (who was secretary of the Conservative Study Circle) shared his ideas on national politics.

paragraph: Following the German advance into southern Romania, C. C. Arion remained behind enemy lines, in Bucharest; the National Liberal cabinet and its Filipescu Conservative backers had relocated to a temporary home in Iaşi. He still represented Marghiloman's Conservative Club: traveling to Focșani, on the front line, he met representatives of the legitimate government and communicated to them the situation in Bucharest. He frequented the Germanophile circle of Raymund Netzhammer and Marthe Bibesco, with whom he discussed the idea of granting the Romanian throne to a Habsburg-Lorraine prince. Virgil Arion was a more radical Germanophile: he agreed to take over as Minister of Public Instruction in the puppet government of Lupu Kostaki, answering to the occupiers.

paragraph: After the shock of the October Revolution and the Treaty of Brest-Litovsk, Romania yielded to the Central Powers. Marghiloman was appointed Premier, and agreed to sign Romania's withdrawal from the war (April 1918). Arion was Marghiloman's "second fiddle" and Foreign Minister up until October 24. He was privately enthusiastic about the turn of events, since he believed that Romania would recover at the same time some of its irredenta, claimed from the Russian Republic, and the territories held by the Central Powers. In this capacity, he traveled to the Russian breakaway region of Bessarabia (or Moldavian Democratic Republic). Representing Romania, he witnessed the Bessarabian–Romanian union. He also made significant efforts to postpone the ratification of Marghiloman's surrender, allowing Romania to reenter the war on the Central Powers.

paragraph: While affiliated with Margiloman's Conservative Party, Arion also joined the eclectic anti-liberal movement, or People's League (the future "People's Party"), whose leader was the war hero Alexandru Averescu. His son followed in his footsteps, running on the Conservative list in the 1918 elections. In early 1919, Virgil Arion was arrested by the Romanian authorities, on charges of collaborationism. He was freed in short while, but virtually disappeared from public life until 1930. Despite his own displays of loyalty, C. C. Arion was also marginalized as a Germanophile by the returning National Liberals.

paragraph: Arion was asked to explain himself before a university inquiry committee, but he never honored the request. He died in Bucharest on June 27, 1923. He had been the recipient of various orders of merit: a Grand Cross of the Order of the Crown, the Order of the Redeemer, and the Order of St. Sava; a Grand Officer of the Order of Carol I, the Star of Romania, and the Legion of Honor. His son Dinu became a professional historian and lecturer at the Bucharest Academy of Economic Studies.

paragraph: Dante Boon

paragraph: Dante Boon (born 1973) is a Dutch composer and pianist. A member of the Wandelweiser composers collective, he is perhaps best known as an interpreter of experimental piano music. His own music has been performed internationally to wide acclaim.

paragraph: Section::::Biography.

paragraph: Dante Boon started his piano studies at age 14, with Willem Brons at the Sweelinck Conservatorium in Amsterdam. He studied composition with Diderik Wagenaar at the Royal Conservatory in The Hague. At the age of 24, he joined the Dutch rock band The Scene as a keyboardist and arranger.

paragraph: A champion of experimental piano music and of Wandelweiser in particular, Boon has premiered over 50 works, many of which written specifically for him. He has performed at such venues as Constellation Chicago, Spectrum, Studio Z, the Rotterdam Philharmonic Gergiev Festival, Jeunesses Musicales du Canada, the ISCM Festival, Gaudeamus Muziekweek, De Link, Paradiso, and regularly at Amsterdam's underground venue Zaal 100 and Klangraum in Düsseldorf.

paragraph: Boon has also been active as a concert organizer himself. He was one of the young composers who organized the Amsterdam concert series for new music "Concerten Tot en Met" between 1997 and 2004. He has also co-organized the series "The Workshop/Maximum Clarity" (with James Fulkerson) at Zaal 100, and since 2007 (with Stevko Busch) "Pianolab Amsterdam", a showcase for Amsterdam pianists and their guests, at the Goethe-Institut. In 2017, Boon organized the "Amsterdam Wandelweiser Festival", a four-day festival of Wandelweiser music.

paragraph: He has recorded music by composers such as Philip Corner, Rozalie Hirs, John Cage, Jürg Frey, Samuel Vriezen, Morton Feldman, Richard Ayres, Tom Johnson, and Michael Manion. With pianist-composer Samuel Vriezen, he recorded Tom Johnson's "Symmetries" for piano four hands. In 2004, he premiered Johnson's "Same or Different", commissioned by VPRO Radio.

paragraph: Boon's compositions have been performed internationally, at such venues as Museo Reina Sofía, Goethe-Institut Amsterdam, Kunstraum, Alte Jazz-Schmiede, The Old Stone House, Willow Place Auditorium, Orgelpark, Stedelijk Museum, Muziekgebouw aan 't IJ, the Royal Academy of Dutch language and literature, Huddersfield Contemporary Music Festival, The Wild Beast, Kultur & Kongresshaus Aarau, UCSB, and REDCAT. Performers of his music have included DNK Ensemble, Ensemble Sisyphe, the Wandelweiser Composers Ensemble, The Same Ensemble, de ereprijs, Nederlands Vocaal Laboratorium, Antoine Beuger, Jürg Frey, Michael Pisaro, Stefan Thut, Samuel Vriezen, Germaine Sijstermans, Taylan Susam, Irene Kurka, Erik Carlson, Denis Sorokin and Sergej Tchirkov. His scores are published by Edition Wandelweiser.

paragraph: He is also known as a skillful arranger, having arranged music for The Scene and Wende, among others.

paragraph: Since 2016, he has taken up conducting. In November of that year, he conducted Ensemble Sisyphe in a program of music by André Cormier, Tom Johnson, Taylan Susam, and himself.

paragraph: He was a guest lecturer at the 13th "" hosted by the University of Music and Performing Arts Vienna. A three-concert musical portrait of Dante Boon was presented in 2012 at Düsseldorf's Klangraum. In 2013, he was a special guest at Michael Pisaro's "Dog Star Orchestra" festival of experimental music. In the same year, a retrospective of Boon's music was presented at the Los Angeles performance space "the wulf." In 2016, Boon was featured as a composer and performer at Quatuor Bozzini's Performer's Kitchen.

paragraph: He is married to Dutch actress .

paragraph: Section::::Musical works.

paragraph: John Eyles, writing for All About Jazz, has described Boon's works as "exquisite throughout, without a single wasted note or gesture to be heard." His CD "clarinet (and piano)", which features clarinetist Jürg Frey, was recommended by The New Yorker's Alex Ross and by Andy Hamilton in The Wire's Top 10 albums of contemporary music.

paragraph: Many of Boon's works are composed so as to give players room to discover their own way through the piece. His clarinet piece "3x", for example, consists of three staves of music containing pitches in three respective registers among which the clarinetist is free to move. In a program note, Michael Pisaro describes Boon's piano piece "14x" as follows:

paragraph: Although the piece is quite slow, and is seemingly a simple series of sustained chords with an occasional beautiful melodic gesture, the technique employed is actually very challenging. No pedal is used, therefore, in order maintain the mostly 10-note sounds all fingers of both hands are employed, holding down keys for the whole piece. What at first seems nearly impossible reveals itself to be ingeniously composed to be just possible.

paragraph: In a review of Boon's "2 Delen (after Sam Sfirri)", Paul Muller writes the following:

paragraph: [A] subtle work featuring electric guitar and voice. The guitar plays a slow ascending scale and at certain points the voice joins. The pure pitches made for some beautiful sounds and overtones. When the voice and guitar met in unison a new cycle would start.

paragraph: His vocal piece "Mirte", a setting of the first three stanzas of Antoine Beuger's translation of the Spiritual Canticle by John of the Cross, has been described as an "inward psychological turn of a voice trying to sing to itself."

paragraph: Section::::Boon as a pianist.

paragraph: Dante Boon has been called a "magnificent" and "idiosyncratic" pianist, known for his "delicate touch" and "calm control." His performances of Komitas's piano music have been called "quieting" and "the highlight [of the concert]". Jay Batzner, writing for "Sequenza21", describes Boon's recordings of Tom Johnson's music as "a delight to listen to." The New Yorker called him a pianist with an "uncommon affinity for music that demands patience, steady hands, and a subtle touch." National Sawdust's Steve Smith listed one of Boon's 2018 solo recitals in New York in his top 10 of memorable musical events.

paragraph: Boon's debut album as a soloist, "cage.frey.vriezen.feldman.ayres.johnson manion", was met with critical acclaim. Anthony Fiumara, writing for "Trouw", notes that "[i]t is striking how self-evident [John Cage's] pointillist "Etudes Australes" sound under Boon's fingers," while characterizing Boon's playing as "murmurous lyricism." In a review for NRC Handelsblad, Jochem Valkenburg notes Boon's "warm, shrouded tone" and, singling out his interpretation of Morton Feldman's "Last Pieces", calls it "objective yet affectionate…measured, pensive, yet vulnerable." Samuel Vriezen, writing in the liner notes to the album, similarly observes:

paragraph: Two poles are important for Dante's playing. On the one hand he is drawn towards the musical discipline of the Cageian tradition and its concern with objectivity in sound. On the other hand, early Romanticism, particularly German song repertoire, is important to him. For many listeners, these poles may seem like opposites. For Dante, however, there is no contradiction. In his playing, precision of technique and conceptual clarity are expressions of a passionate engagement with sounds and their progression as melody.

paragraph: His album with Jürg Frey, "clarinet (and piano)", containing Boon's own compositions, was similarly well received.

paragraph: Werner von Alvensleben

paragraph: Werner von Alvensleben (Neugattersleben, July 4, 1875 – Bremen-Vegesack, June 30, 1947) was a German businessman and politician.

paragraph: He was the second son of Werner Graf von Alvensleben-Neugattersleben (1840–1929) and Anna von Veltheim (1853–1897). His younger brother Bodo Graf von Alvensleben-Neugattersleben was later to become the president of the German Gentlemen’s Club (Deutscher Herrenklub). He joined the army after studying law, became second lieutenant in Infantry Regiment No. 24 and attended the War Academy in 1904–1905. He then resigned from military service, fell out with his father who disinherited him, and travelled to Vancouver, British Columbia, Canada. This is where his younger brother, Gustav Konstantin von Alvensleben, was already living, who had worked his way up from a simple workman to become a successful entrepreneur. In 1909 he married Alexandra Gräfin von Einsiedel (1888–1947). Three daughters, Alexandra, Armgard and Anna Caroline Harriet were born to this marriage, as well as a son named Werner. From this time on he worked as a businessman in export and financial transactions.

paragraph: In World War I von Alvensleben was awarded the Iron Cross 1st Class, later he became an Orderly Officer in the Gallwitz army group, aide-de-camp to Eichhorn, the commander-in-chief of the Ukraine, and finally personal aide-de-camp of the Kaiser with Pavlo Skoropadskyi (1873–1945), supreme commander of Ukraine, in Kiev. In this capacity he championed independence for Ukraine.

paragraph: After the war, von Alvensleben became increasingly involved in politics alongside his professional activities. Although he had been a member of the German Conservative Party before the war, he did not join a political party afterwards, preferring to work in the background above all. Nor did he belong to the gentlemen’s club of which his younger brother Bodo was the president. In June 1930 the ‘Deutsche Bund zum Schutz der abendländischen Kultur’ (German Federation to Protect Occidental Culture) was founded and he became its president. Its aim was to funnel all conservative energies into one comprehensive conservative party, planning to have a thorough reform of the ‘estates’ in the state and the economy. Politically he was a member of the inner circle surrounding the later German Reich defence minister and Reich Chancellor General Kurt von Schleicher, and also had close contact with the supreme army commander, Colonel General Kurt Freiherr von Hammerstein-Equord.

paragraph: After Adolf Hitler came to power in 1933, von Alvensleben belonged to the conservative opposition. He refused to swear the oath of allegiance to Hitler prescribed by law as he was a captain of the reservists. Prior to the "Night of the Long Knives" (a/k/a Rőhm Putsch), a hunting companion of earlier times, Graf von Helldorft , a member of the SA and one of the organizers of the Putsch (who eventually turned against Hitler and was executed after the 20th of July) warned von Alvensleben to spend the coming weekend at his hunting lodge, as he then did, escaping certain assassination; it was thereupon that he was first condemned to death. He had been the go-between for Schleicher to Hitler and had made fun of Hitler for his ambition to be the new Napoleon. At Buchenwald he was tortured, especially for the following incident:

paragraph: A guard asked whether he, A., still placed people in classes. Whereupon Opa A. said, Yes he did. And that there were three classes. The first class consisted of people who had been in prison, the second of those who were in prison, and the third of those who were on their way to prison; and to the third class, my dear fellow, is the one to which you belong. Whereupon the beating commences and I suppose it’s worth being beaten for such a fine story.

paragraph: His grandson, Michael Roloff, who is supplying some of these details, saw him drive up at my mother's place outside Bremen two weeks after he had been liberated by the Americans, apparently jaunty, as though nothing had happened, in the company of the first engineer of the "Graf Hindenburg" Zeppelin that had crashed and burnt at Lindhurst in the late 30s, a man named Sauer who had a lot of scar tissue. However, von A. refused to take off his shirt in front of his wife, Alexandra von Einsiedel, or any of his three daughters.

paragraph: In connection with the so-called Röhm putsch and the murder of Schleicher on June 30, 1934, Hitler said in a speech to the Reichstag on July 13, 1934, ‘Röhm became connected with General von Schleicher through the mediation of a thoroughly corrupt swindler, a Mr. v A.’ By this he meant Werner von Alvensleben who was sentenced to several months’ imprisonment on June 30, 1934 but was not executed—as had actually been intended. When he was released he was ordered not to leave Neugattersleben unless he had permission from the Gestapo. Later on he had contact with Carl Friedrich Goerdeler and Ludwig August Theodor Beck via Hammerstein and was—as Rudolf Pechel writes in his book ‘Deutscher Widerstand’ (German Resistance)—partially privy to the coup plans at the end of 1941. He had already been arrested and charged again for different reasons before July 20, 1944. At the trial before the Volksgerichtshof on February 1, 1945 it was not possible to prove that he had known about the assassination plans, but he was sentenced to two years’ imprisonment for defeatist statements made during a tea party in August 1943, whereby his age and failing health mitigated the punishment.

paragraph: In April 1945 he was freed from Magdeburg prison by American troops. As Neugattersleben had since become part of the Soviet occupied zone, he went to live with his daughter in Bremen-Vegesack where he died on June 30, 1947.

paragraph: Werner von Alvensleben had one son, also named Werner who was responsible for the attempted assassination of the Austrian "Heimwehrfuehrer" Dr. Richard Steidle in June 1933.

paragraph: Maria of Brabant, Holy Roman Empress

paragraph: Maria of Brabant (c. 1190 – May/June 1260), a member of the House of Reginar, was Holy Roman Empress from 1214 until 1215 as the second and last wife of the Welf emperor Otto IV.

paragraph: Section::::Family.

paragraph: Maria was the eldest daughter of Duke Henry I of Brabant and his consort Maud of Boulogne.

paragraph: Section::::First marriage.

paragraph: Maria was betrothed to King Otto IV already in 1198, while he fought for the German throne against rivalling Philip of Swabia. Her father, Duke Henry I, had initially supported the claims of the Welf dynasty, but then adopted a hesitant position. When he changed to the Hohenstaufen side in 1204, the planned marriage seemed obsolete.

paragraph: After Philip of Swabia was assassinated in 1208, Otto IV became undisputed King of the Romans and was crowned Holy Roman Emperor by Pope Innocent III in 1209. Duke Henry of Brabant rushed to reconcile with the Welf ruler, who soon after his coronation, however, steered into conflict with the Pope over the Kingdom of Sicily, then ruled by the young Hohenstaufen prince Frederick II, nephew of the late Philip of Swabia. Otto was excommunicated by his former ally Pope Innocent and had to face the election of Frederick as anti-king in September 1211. One year later, he demonstratively married Beatrice of Swabia, daughter of the late King Philip and Frederick's paternal first cousin.

paragraph: Not until Beatrice's death a few weeks later, the previous engagement with Maria of Brabant once again became significant. At the time Otto was already engaged in a war against rival king Frederick II. While several Hohenstaufen loyalists had initially supported Emperor Otto because of his marriage with Beatrice, most had transferred their allegiance to Frederick II by this point. Crowned king by Archbishop Siegfried II of Mainz in December 1212, Frederick's rise continued and Otto was under increasing pressure. He and Maria of Brabant got married on 19 May 1214 in Maastricht. She was about twenty-four years old and her husband approximately thirty-nine.

paragraph: In view of the ongoing conflict between Welfs and Hohenstaufens, Maria was Empress of a divided Holy Roman Empire. Her husband's rule came to an end, when Frederick forged an alliance with King Philip II of France and provoked Otto to enter into the Anglo-French War. On 27 July 1214, the Imperial army was decisively defeated in the Battle of Bouvines and forced to retreat. King Philip II sent the captured Imperial "Reichsadler" standard to Frederick. With his forces decimated and having lost supporters to both death and defection, Otto was forced to withdraw to his Welf estates around Brunswick in Saxony with his wife.

paragraph: Otto was effectively deposed on 5 July 1215 and Frederick again crowned King of Germany on July 25, unopposed this time. Pope Innocent III, who had previously crowned Otto, acknowledged Frederick's rule as emperor-to-be during the Fourth Council of the Lateran in November. Maria joined her husband in his retirement. Resigned and seriously ill, Otto died at Harzburg castle on 19 May 1218. There were no children from their marriage.

paragraph: Section::::Second marriage.

paragraph: Maria remained a widow for about two years. In July, 1220, she married her second husband Count William I of Holland. Nevertheless, William died just two years later, on 4 February 1222. He was survived by at least five children. Genealogists believe all five were born by his first wife Adelaide of Guelders. However, there is some uncertainty on their dates of birth.

paragraph: Maria survived her second husband by thirty-eight years, but never remarried. In her later years, she again adopted the title of a Holy Roman Empress, establishing a Cistercian monastery at Binderen, Brabant (today part of Helmond). She is buried in St. Peter's Church, Leuven.

paragraph: Margaret II Audley (died 1373) was a co-heiress to the feudal barony of Barnstaple in Devon, England.

paragraph: Margaret was a daughter of James Audley, 2nd Baron Audley (1312/13-1386), seated at the manor of Tawstock, feudal baron of Barnstaple, by his second wife Isabel LeStrange, daughter of Roger le Strange, 5th Baron Strange (c. 1327–1382) of Knokyn. In 1370 James Audley settled the manor of Tawstock in tail male successively to his three sons from his 2nd marriage, thus Margaret's brothers, Thomas, Rodeland and James, who all died without progeny. On the death of James Audley in 1386 the barony of Barnstaple, including 2/3rds of the manor of Tawstock, passed to his surviving son (from his first marriage) Nicholas Audley, 3rd Baron Audley (c.1328-1391), who died without issue. Nicholas's co-heiresses were his two full-sisters Joan and Margaret I and his half-sister Margaret II, who inherited Tawstock:

The FitzWarin family were powerful Marcher Lords seated at Whittington Castle in Shropshire and at Alveston in Gloucestershire. The title Baron FitzWarin was created by writ of summons for Fulk V FitzWarin in 1295. For the descendants of Margaret Audley see Manor of Tawstock.

paragraph: Section::::Death & burial.

paragraph: Ève Angeli

paragraph: Vanessa Annelyse Ève Garcin (born 25 August 1980 in Sète, Hérault, France), better known by her stage name Ève Angeli is a French pop singer, who won an NRJ Music Award for Best New French Artist in 2000–2002.

paragraph: Section::::Biography.

paragraph: She began her rise to fame on the television show Graines de star in 2010. Her star-making performance on the show led to a major-label recording contract with Sony Music and the eventual release of her debut single, "Avant de venir" in 2000.

paragraph: The lead single from her forthcoming full-length album debut, "Aime-Moi" (2002), "Avant de Partir" was a Top Five hit on the French singles chart.

paragraph: The follow-up single "Elle" was a major hit also, breaking into the Top Ten, and though successive singles "Je Sais" and "C'est Pour Ça" were less popular, the run of hit singles helped carry Aime-Moi to number 11 on the French albums chart.

paragraph: In 2002 Angeli won the NRJ Music Award for Best New French Artist and released her second album, "Nos Différences", which spawned a modest hit with its title track, a bilingual collaboration with the British boy band A1.

paragraph: Relative to her debut album, however, "Nos Différences" was a disappointment and Angeli subsequently receded from the spotlight for a couple years.

paragraph: She re-emerged in 2004 with the reality TV show "La Ferme Célébrités", a greatest-hits compilation "Le Meilleur d'Eve Angeli", and the new single "Une Chanson dans le Coeur," her biggest hit in years. Her third album, "Viens" (2005), followed, and while it spawned a couple modest hits with "Viens" and "Je Vais T'aimer," it continued to mark a downturn in Angeli's commercial success and concluded her association with Sony.

paragraph: In subsequent years, Angeli published a book, "Mes Evangélismes: Pensées d'une Blonde" (2007), and released her first independent album, "Revolution" (2008).

paragraph: Adrian Peterson (American football, born 1979)

paragraph: Adrian Nicholas Peterson (born July 1, 1979) is a former American football running back who played in the National Football League and United Football League. He was drafted by the Chicago Bears in the sixth round of the 2002 NFL Draft, playing eight seasons for Chicago. Then he played for the Virginia Destroyers in the UFL. He is an alumnus of Georgia Southern University, where he set numerous school, conference, and NCAA Division I-AA records, as well winning two 1-AA National Championships and receiving the Walter Payton Award for most outstanding player in 1-AA football.

paragraph: Section::::Early years.

paragraph: Peterson was born to Porter R. and Reatha M. Peterson; his father works at a plant that makes Energizer batteries. Adrian Peterson was a two-time all-state, all-area selection and team MVP at Santa Fe High School in Alachua, Florida where he rushed for 4,949 yards during his prep career to earn All-America honors from ESPN and Blue Chip Illustrated. Peterson ran for 1,526 yards and 17 TDs on 185 carries (8.2 avg.) to earn Florida Class 4A Player-of-the-Year honors as a senior. He also lettered four times in track and two times each in weightlifting and basketball while in high school.

paragraph: Section::::College career.

paragraph: Peterson played for Georgia Southern from 1998-2001. He finished his career, not including the playoffs, with 6,559 rushing yards, a Division I football record, and won the Walter Payton Award in 1999. He was the first sophomore to win the award for most outstanding player in I-AA football history. Peterson finished among the top three vote-getters for the Walter Payton Award in all four of his college football seasons. In 57 career games including the playoffs, he carried 1,378 times for 9,145 yards (6.6 avg), 111 touchdowns and an average of 160 yards per game. On September 29, 2012 Peterson was inducted into the Georgia Southern hall of fame in a ceremony held during halftime at Paulson Stadium. In January 2014, College Sporting News announced that the FCS Offensive Player of the Year Award will be named after Peterson. Peterson was inducted into the College Football Hall of Fame in 2017.

paragraph: Section::::Professional career.

paragraph: Section::::Professional career.:Chicago Bears.

paragraph: The Chicago Bears selected Peterson in the sixth round of the 2002 NFL Draft. During his first season as a Bear, he rushed for 101 yards on nineteen attempts, and scored a single touchdown. He missed most of the next season after sustaining an ankle injury. The team has primarily relied on Peterson as a specialist. In 2004, he led the Bears' special teams unit with 28 tackles.

paragraph: Peterson saw more action as a running back during the 2005 Chicago Bears season, after the Bears' top two running backs, Thomas Jones and Cedric Benson, suffered injuries. On November 13, in the first game that both were injured, a game against the San Francisco 49ers, Peterson eclipsed the 100 yard mark in a game for the first time in his career. He rushed for 120 yards on 24 attempts and scored a touchdown. On the season, Peterson rushed for 391 yards on 76 attempts, and scored two touchdowns. Peterson was the team's second leading rusher during the season, and even went on to score a touchdown during the NFC Divisional game against the Carolina Panthers.

paragraph: During the 2006 Chicago Bears season, Peterson returned to his role as a specialist and third string running back. He received occasional playtime as running back, but played a versatile role on the Bears' special teams. During the team's season finale, Peterson caught a 37-yard pass from Brad Maynard on a fake punt. In the NFC Championship game, Peterson tackled Michael Lewis and forced a fumble.

paragraph: After the Bears traded Jones prior to the 2007 season, Peterson was promoted to second string running back. However, first string running back Cedric Benson sustained a season-ending injury on November 25, against the Denver Broncos. During the same game, Peterson scored his second rushing touchdown of the season, when he powered into the endzone despite being enveloped by several Bronco defenders. With this news, Peterson moved to first string, with rookie Garrett Wolfe moved to second string. Peterson had his second 100-yard rushing game on December 23, 2007 against the Green Bay Packers. Peterson had another productive performance the next week, during the Bears’ season finale against the New Orleans Saints. He rushed for 91 yards, and even threw a 9-yard touchdown pass to Bernard Berrian.

paragraph: When the Bears drafted Matt Forte and brought in Kevin Jones, Peterson saw little to no action at running back. He was cut from the team after the Bears signed Chester Taylor before the 2010 season.

paragraph: Peterson signed with the Seattle Seahawks on August 12, 2010, but was released by the team just five days later.

paragraph: Section::::Professional career.:Virginia Destroyers.

paragraph: Peterson was drafted by the Virginia Destroyers in the third round (14th overall) of the 2011 UFL Draft. He signed with the team on June 15.

paragraph: Section::::Professional career.:Georgia Southern University.

paragraph: Peterson returned to Georgia Southern, his alma mater, as director of student-athlete development for the Georgia Southern football program, as announced October 23, 2018, by head coach Chad Lunsford. He takes over for Andrew Dodge, who moved to an on-field coaching assignment toward the end of the 2016 season.

paragraph: Section::::Personal.

paragraph: Peterson is the younger brother of former Atlanta Falcons linebacker Mike Peterson. He is also related to Freddie Solomon, who played for the Miami Dolphins and San Francisco 49ers. He performs community work and hosts an annual free youth football camp. Additionally, Peterson, who has a speech impediment, volunteers to help children who also face the same challenge.

paragraph: Peterson released his autobiography "Don't Dis My Abilities" in 2013.

paragraph: On February 17, 2015, Peterson's 7-year-old son died of brain cancer.

paragraph: Carolina Pascual

paragraph: Carolina Pascual Gracia (born June 17, 1976 in Orihuela, Alicante, Spain) was a Spanish Individual Rhythmic Gymnast. She is the 1992 Olympics silver medalist and the 1993 European all-around bronze medalist.

paragraph: Section::::Career.

paragraph: Pascual was doing ballet when at age seven her ballet teacher told her mother that her daughter had excellent qualities for Rhythmic Gymnastics. There was not a club in her town so, her mother drove for around an hour to get Pascual to and from training sessions at the Escuela de Competición in Murcia. Pascual later went to the Atlético Montemar in Alicante.

paragraph: Pascual got her breakthrough in 1990 when Spain's head coach, Emilia Boneva, selected Pascual for the National Team. The newcomer was sent to the 1990 European Championships, where she helped the Spanish team win the bronze medal. She also placed 12th in the all-around and qualified for two event finals.

paragraph: All the sacrifices that were made paid off when in 1990 Emilia Boneva selected her for the National Team. Pascual was one of Spain's most successful Rhythmic Gymnasts, and the first to get an Olympic medal. At the awards ceremony, bronze medalist Oksana Skaldina refused to acknowledge the podium results. Pascual is one of the few non eastern european rhythmic gymnasts to have successful career and medal at the Olympics.

paragraph: An injured Pascual sat out at the 1992 World Championships, but came back for a bronze All-around medal at 1993 European Cup. But she struggled at the 1993 World Championships and finished 7th in All-around. Still, she would take silver with clubs behind teammate Carmen Acedo. She retired from the sport after the Alicante World Championships in 1993.

paragraph: As a gymnast she stands out because of her difficult and expressive routines with great back flexibility, and inventive skills. She is now a coach, at Club IMD in Orihuela.
