paragraph: Raymond Rochette

paragraph: Raymond Rochette (May 25, 1906 – December 26, 1993) was a French painter.

paragraph: Section::::Biography.

paragraph: He was born in La Marolle, in the house of his family, which had been built by his grandfather. This house is strangely located between the big factory of Le Creusot and the wide forest of the Morvan area.

paragraph: In 1921, Raymond Rochette made his first oil paintings, showing landscapes of Morvan and scenes of life in the countryside: people working in the fields, working the wood, exploiting quarries, etc., subjects which would always interest him.

paragraph: As a child, Raymond Rochette was already fascinated by heavy metallurgy. In Morocco, where he did his military service, he writes to his family: “I think that painting men working, sweating, reddened, with the enormous machines, dust and steam, would be interesting.”

paragraph: In 1936, he asked for an authorization to paint the workshops of the factory, in vain. During a dozen years, he painted many landscapes in which the factory can be seen in the background. In 1949, he was eventually allowed to come into the factory and to paint there. His first paintings focus on the giant tools of heavy metallurgy, but later he painted more and more often workers, who are shown in the center of the picture or just beside the big machines they dominate and that make them look tiny.

paragraph: During 70 years, Raymond Rochette’s thirst for painting remains insatiable. A landscape, a face, a piece of fruit, ordinary objects, everything he sees fascinates him.

paragraph: He died in the house where he was born.

paragraph: Today his paintings can be seen in a dozen museums in France and in other countries.

paragraph: "« I like machines just like one can like the fountains of Provence. Workshops remind me the naves of the cathedrals, and their glows make me think about the evening feasts on the Grand Canal. The gestures of the dancers of the opera are not more beautiful than those of the workers. When Le Lorrain was painting his palaces, his joy was not purer than the one I feel when I am drawing workshops. The abundance of monumental metallic structures makes me feel the joy of Le Piranèse, a joy that I taste when I am magnifying welders and grinder- or rolling mill-operators, who become in my paintings the magicians of the bright forest of heavy metallurgy.”

paragraph: Konrad von Wallenrode

paragraph: Konrad von Wallenrode (c. 1330s – 23 July 1393) was the 24th Grand Master of the Teutonic Knights, serving from 1391 to 1393. Modern sources are friendly towards Konrad, although they claim he was hot-blooded, proud, and had tendencies to be cruel.

paragraph: Konrad was the inspiration for Adam Mickiewicz's poem "Konrad Wallenrod".

paragraph: Section::::Life and career.

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

paragraph: Konrad came from a family with a rich knightly tradition that had its roots in Franconia. He joined the Teutonic Order ca. 1370. Grand Master Winrich von Kniprode named him Komtur of Schlochau (Człuchów) in 1377, but his real career did not begin until Conrad Zöllner von Rothenstein became Grand Master in 1382.

paragraph: After the death of Kuno von Hattenstein, Konrad became Grand Marshal and Komtur of Königsberg. He was chiefly tasked with organizing crusades against the Grand Duchy of Lithuania, and became quite adept at it. He became Komtur of Marienburg (Malbork) and Grosskomtur of the Teutonic Order in 1387. Zöllner died in 1390, and it seemed only a matter of time before Konrad would become the next Grand Master. However, he encountered great opposition from Walrabe von Scharffenberg, Komtur of Danzig (Gdańsk). It was not until August 20, 1391, that Wallenrode became grand master, thanks to the support of two electors, Siegfried Walpot von Bassenheim and Rüdiger von Elner, the Komturs of Elbing (Elbląg) and Tuchel (Tuchola), respectively.

paragraph: Section::::Life and career.:As Grand Master.

paragraph: Konrad's two-year rule was filled with campaigns against Lithuania. He was against the Polish-Lithuanian Union, which he tried to dissolve. Konrad began a campaign against Lithuania in 1392 and split his army into three divisions. The first one, under command of Arnold von Burgeln, Komtur of Balga, headed for Masovia. The other two divisions, under the command of Konrad and Grand Marshal Engelhard Rabe von Wildstein, headed for Vilnius. They were close to capturing Vilnius, which was defended by Polish knights, but retreated as a result of a scandal caused by the grand master.

paragraph: Von Wildstein was a great commander and a tactician with the respect of his soldiers, but he was relieved of his duties as grand marshal by Konrad. The reason is not completely known, but it is widely believed that the grand master was jealous of von Wildstein's success. Nonetheless, this caused a revolt between most of the knights who stood behind von Wildstein. Despite this, Konrad did not change his decision and the campaign was abandoned. This helped von Wallenrode to clean up dissent in the order, especially in the Lower Prussian Komturships of Balga, Brandenburg, and Ragnit that were under supremacy of the grand marshal.

paragraph: In 1392 Duke Władysław Opolski offered Konrad a partition of Poland with the Holy Roman Empire, the Teutonic Knights, Brandenburg, Hungary, and the Silesian dukes all taking part of it, but the grand master rejected it. The same year he started another military action against Lithuania with guest crusaders, including Henry of Derby, the future King Henry IV of England. Dutch and French knights under Konrad's command attacked Gardinas, leading Vytautas to call a peace conference in Thorn (Toruń). Ten days into the conference, however, Konrad died on 23 July 1393, probably of apoplexy.

paragraph: During his reign, he led active economic and colonization actions in Prussia. He settled vast tracts of land with German colonists and built two castles, Gotteswerder and Mittenburg. In 1393 he created a new komturship in Rhein (Ryn); its first komtur was his brother Friedrich von Wallenrode, a later Komtur of Mewe (Gniew), Strasburg (Brodnica) and the Grand Marshal of Königsberg who died in the Battle of Grunwald in 1410. Another relative of Konrad was Johann von Wallenrode, the Archbishop of Riga between 1393–1416.

paragraph: Section::::The poem.

paragraph: Adam Mickiewicz took some elements of the historical Konrad von Wallenrode for his 1828 patriotic narrative poem, "Konrad Wallenrod", in which Wallenrode is portrayed as a Lithuanian who deliberately leads the Knights into defeat.

paragraph: The poem was later twice made into an opera; "I Lituani" by Italian composer Amilcare Ponchielli in 1874, and "Konrad Wallenrod" by Polish composer Władysław Żeleński in 1885.

paragraph: Alberto Octavio Tserclaes de Tilly

paragraph: Alberto Octavio Tserclaes de Tilly (also known as Antonio) (1646 – 10 September 1715) was a Spanish general of Flemish origins, the grandson of a brother of General Johann Tserclaes Count of Tilly, who acquired fame in the Thirty Years War.

paragraph: Section::::Biography.

paragraph: In 1693 he was granted the title of prince by King Charles II of Spain. He took part in the Spanish War of Succession (1701–1714) on the side of the young French-born Prince, later King Philip V of Spain against his opponent Charles VI of Austria of the Habsburgs. He fought in the Portuguese campaign during 1704, during which he advanced along the left bank of the river Tagus, conquering Portalegre and consolidating the Alentejo region, while the young Philip and James FitzJames, 1st Duke of Berwick advanced along the right bank of the river.

paragraph: In 1705 there was a conspiracy in which Diego Dávila Mesía y Guzmán, Captain General of Catalonia, sided with Charles of Austria. Alberto Octavio warned the central authorities. For this assistance, Philip V of Spain bestowed upon him in 1706 the title of Grandee of Spain, a title which included the privilege of remaining covered or seated in the presence of royalty.

paragraph: Antonio Octavio served as Viceroy of Navarre in 1706–1709 and as Captain General of Aragon in 1711–1714.

paragraph: In 1714 he was appointed Captain General of Catalonia, replacing FitzJames. He died in Barcelona the following year.

paragraph: Iftikhar Hussain Khan Mamdot

paragraph: Nawab Iftikhar Hussain Khan of Mamdot (31 December 1906 - 16 October 1969) was a Pakistani politician from the Punjab and a key supporter of the Pakistan Movement in British India.

paragraph: Section::::Early life.

paragraph: Mamdot was born at Lahore in 1906. He was the son Shahnawaz Khan and a member of the ruling family of Mamdot. He was educated at Government College, Lahore, and thereafter joined the police service of Hyderabad State in the Deccan.

paragraph: On the death of his father in 1942 he succeeded him as the Nawab of Mamdot and on inheriting his lands become the largest landowner in the Punjab. He also succeeded his father in politics as President of the Punjab Muslim League between 1942 and 1944. He actively worked to encourage the wealthy landowners of the Punjab to drop their support for the Unionist Party and support the Pakistan Movement. In 1946, he was elected to the Punjab Legislative Assembly and became leader of opposition. Later that year, he was the only Muslim League leader in the Punjab who supported Muhammad Ali Jinnah's call for the voluntary exchange of the populations within the Punjab. During the Partition of India in 1947 he migrated to Pakistan, abandoning his vast landholdings in eastern Punjab which became part of the Republic of India.

paragraph: Section::::Chief Minister of West Punjab.

paragraph: On 15 August 1947, he was appointed as the first Chief Minister of West Punjab in Pakistan. Having foregone his constituency in Firozepur district and extensive estates in East Punjab, Mamdot sought to rebuild his powerbase in Pakistan. Without official sanction, he created the Allotment Revising Committee to cultivate new followers amongst refugees, and allegedly siphoned off properties and cars to his followers and former tenants. He became the largest claimant for agricultural land amongst the refugees. He opposed his minister for refugee rehabilitation Mian Iftikharuddin, whose reformist proposals advocated permanently settling refugees on evacuee property and excess land belonging to bigger landlords. His stance, together with his refusal to cooperate with the centrally appointed Pakistan and West Punjab Refugee and Rehabilitation Council led to the resignation of Mian Iftikharuddin, and provided a free hand to Mamdot to allocate evacuee properties as he wished.

paragraph: Factionalism plagued Mamdot's ministry. Aside from conflict with Mian Iftikharuddin and Ghazanfar Ali Khan, head of the Refugee and Rehabilitation Council, he clashed with Mumtaz Daultana and Sir Francis Mudie. He labelled Mudie, the first Governor of West Punjab, a "foreigner", "pro-unionist" and "pro-Indian" and in turn, Mudie criticised him alleging that he remained in power to get his hands on more property.

paragraph: Mamdot's ministry endured widespread accusations of corruption, and was labelled "unbelievably corrupt" by one British official. It was alleged he used public funds to personally acquire about 2,000 acres of prime agricultural land at nominal rates in Montgomery District, that he awarded to his brother several hundred acres of land in the same district that belonged to Sir Khizar Hayat Tiwana and that he secretly deposited over 100,000 rupees from the Kashmir fund to his brother. Rival politicians alleged that he diluted their powerbases by relocating their supporters randomly across the province. A spokesman for the Rajput refugee community criticised Mamdot for not settling refugees together in accordance with the districts they came from, and noted that one village had refugees from between 13/14 different East Punjab districts which resulted in clashes on a daily basis. Mamdot resigned as Chief Minister in 1949 and an official enquiry was launched against him in relation to maladministration. As no-one was able to form a new ministry, the Governor of West Punjab assumed direct control of the province.

paragraph: In 1950 he left the Muslim League to form a new party, the Jinnah Muslim League, which contested the 1951 elections against the Muslim League led by his arch-rival Mumtaz Daultana. One consequence of the claims against Mamdot appeared following the result of the election, as representatives of refugees constituted just 5 per cent of the Punjab Assembly, despite refugees constituting about one-third of the total Punjabi population.

paragraph: Section::::Later life.

paragraph: He rejoined the Muslim League in 1953 and was appointed Governor of Sind by Sir Ghulam Muhammad in 1954 He resigned his post in 1955 following the departure of Sir Ghulam from the political scene, and thereafter remained in the political wilderness. Mamdot died in Lahore on 16 October 1969.

paragraph: Guthrum

paragraph: Guthrum (, died c. 890), christened Æthelstan on his conversion to Christianity in 878, was King of the Danish Vikings in the Danelaw. He is mainly known for his conflict with Alfred the Great.

paragraph: Section::::Founder of the Danelaw.

paragraph: It is not known how Guthrum consolidated his rule as king over the other Danish chieftains of the Danelaw (Danish-ruled territory of England), but by 874 he was able to wage a war against Wessex and its King, Alfred.

paragraph: In 875, the Danish forces, then under Guthrum and Halfdan Ragnarsson, divided, Halfdan's contingent returning north to Northumbria, while Guthrum's forces went to East Anglia, quartering themselves at Cambridge for the year.

paragraph: By 876, Guthrum had acquired various parts of the kingdoms of Mercia and Northumbria and then turned his attention to acquiring Wessex, where his first confrontation with Alfred took place on the south coast. Guthrum sailed his army around Poole Harbour and linked up with another Viking army that was invading the area between the Frome and Piddle rivers which was ruled by Alfred. According to the historian Asser, Guthrum won his initial battle with Alfred, and he captured the "castellum" as well as the ancient square earthworks known as the Wareham, where there was a convent of nuns.

paragraph: Alfred successfully brokered a peace settlement, but by 877 this peace was broken as Guthrum led his army raiding further into Wessex, thus forcing Alfred to confront him in a series of skirmishes that Guthrum continued to win. At Exeter, which Guthrum had also captured, Alfred made a peace treaty, with the result that Guthrum left Wessex to winter in Gloucester.

paragraph: Section::::Surprise attack.

paragraph: On Epiphany, 6 January 878, Guthrum made a surprise night-time attack on Alfred and his court at Chippenham, Wiltshire. It being a Christian feast day the Saxons were presumably taken by surprise—indeed it is possible that Wulfhere, the Ealdorman of Wiltshire, allowed the attack through either negligence or intent, for on Alfred's return to power later in 878 Wulfhere was stripped of his role as Ealdorman.

paragraph: Alfred fled the attack with a few retainers and took shelter in the marshes of Somerset, staying in the small village of Athelney. Over the next few months he built up his force and waged a guerrilla war against Guthrum from his fastness in the fens. After a few months Alfred called his loyal men to Egbert's Stone, and from there they travelled to Edington to fight the invaders.

paragraph: Section::::Defeat by Alfred.

paragraph: Guthrum's hopes of conquering all of Wessex came to an end with his defeat at the hands of Alfred at the Battle of Edington in 878. At Edington, Guthrum’s entire army was routed by Alfred's and fled to their encampment where they were besieged by Alfred's fyrd for two weeks. According to the "Anglo-Saxon Chronicle", Guthrum’s army was able to negotiate a peace treaty known as the Treaty of Wedmore. The "Anglo-Saxon Chronicle" recorded the event:

paragraph: Section::::Defeat by Alfred.:Conversion to Christianity and peace.

paragraph: Under the Treaty of Wedmore, the borders dividing the lands of Alfred and Guthrum were established, Guthrum converted to Christianity, and he took on the Christian name Æthelstan with Alfred as his godfather.

paragraph: Guthrum upheld his end of the treaty and left the boundary that separated the Danelaw from English England unmolested. Guthrum, although failing to conquer Wessex, turned towards the lands to the east that the treaty had allotted under his control. Guthrum withdrew his army from the western borders facing Alfred's territory and moved eastward before eventually settling in the Kingdom of Guthrum in East Anglia in 879. He lived there until his death in 890. According to the "Annals of St Neots", a chronicle compiled in Bury St Edmunds, Guthrum was buried at "Headleage," which is usually identified as Hadleigh, Suffolk.

paragraph: Section::::In popular culture.

paragraph: Guthrum appears in several works of fiction, including:

paragraph: BULLET::::- G. K. Chesterton's poem "The Ballad of the White Horse".

paragraph: BULLET::::- C. Walter Hodges' juvenile historical novels "The Namesake" and "The Marsh King".

paragraph: BULLET::::- Bernard Cornwell's first three novels of The Saxon Stories series "The Last Kingdom," and "The Pale Horseman", and "The Lords of the North".

paragraph: On screen, he was portrayed by Brian Blessed in episode 4 ("King Alfred") of "Churchill's People", by Michael York in the 1969 film "Alfred the Great", and Thomas W. Gabrielsson in the BBC and Netflix original television series "The Last Kingdom".

paragraph: Kerbogha

paragraph: Kerbogha (, ) was Atabeg of Mosul during the First Crusade and was renowned as a soldier.

paragraph: Section::::Early Life.

paragraph: Kerbogha was a Turk who owed his success to his military talent. In 1095 he served under the Abbasid Caliph Al-Mustazhir in his attempted reconquest of Aleppo.

paragraph: Section::::The First Crusade.

paragraph: In 1098, when he heard that the Crusaders had besieged Antioch, he gathered his troops and marched to relieve the city. On his way, he attempted to regain Edessa following its recent conquest by Baldwin I, so as not to leave any Frankish garrisons behind him on his way to Antioch. For three weeks he pointlessly besieged the city before deciding to continue on to Antioch. His reinforcements could have perhaps ended the Crusade before the walls of Antioch, and, indeed, the whole Crusade was perhaps saved by his time wasted at Edessa. By the time he arrived, around June 7, the Crusaders had already won the siege, and had held the city since 3 June. They were not able to restock the city before Kerbogha, in turn, began besieging the city.

paragraph: During the siege, on 27 June, Peter the Hermit was sent as emissary to Kerbogha by the Crusaders to suggest that the parties settle all differences by a duel. Presumably feeling his position secure, Kerbogha did not see this course of action as being in his interest, and he declined.

paragraph: Meanwhile, inside the city, Peter Bartholomew claimed to have discovered the Holy Lance through a vision. This discovery re-energized the Christian army. At the same time, disagreements and infighting broke out within the Atabeg's army. Kerbogha's mighty army was actually made up of levies from Baghdad, Persia, Palestine and Damascus, and the internal quarrels amongst the Emirs took precedence over any unity against the Franks. The only thing that united his allies was a common fear of Kerbogha's real goal, which was the conquest of all their lands. If Antioch fell to him, he would have been invincible.

paragraph: On 28 June, when Bohemond, the leader of the Christian army, decided to attack, the Emirs decided to humble Kerbogha by abandoning him at the critical moment. Kerbogha was taken by surprise by the organization and discipline of the Christian army. This motivated, unified Christian army was in fact so large that Kerbogha's strategy of dividing his own forces was ineffective. He was quickly routed by the Crusaders. He was forced to retreat, and returned to Mosul a broken man.

paragraph: Section::::Later Life.

paragraph: Despite his defeats outside of the cities of both Edessa and Antioch, Kerbogha's position in Mosul went unchallenged through the rest of his life. He spent time raising Imad ad-Din Zengi, the namesake of the Zengid dynasty, who took power in Mosul in 1127 following the rule of a series of Seljuk vassals after Kerbogha's death in 1102.

paragraph: Péter Révay

paragraph: Baron Péter Révay de Szklabina et Blathnicza (used aliases of his name include Révai, Rewa, Réva; 2 February 1568 – 4 June 1622) was a Hungarian nobleman, Royal Crown Guard for the Holy Crown of Hungary, poet, state official, soldier and historian.

paragraph: He was the grandson of Ferenc Révay.

paragraph: Section::::Life.

paragraph: Péter Révay was born in Szklabina, a member of an old family from the Turóc region. He was the third child of Mihály Révay and his mother Anna Bakics. He received his education in Bártfa, Jihlava, probably also in Vienna, and between 1589 and 1591 in Strasbourg, where he was awarded the title of a Master of Philosophy. In 1598 he became the hereditary county head (called a főispán) of the Turóc Comitatus. From 1601 he discharged the duties of a Royal Commissary. He became Royal Crown Guard in 1608. In 1610 he became the Royal Courtmaster, from 1615 the Chief Doormaster, and from 1619 a Tablemaster. He had a relatively wide-reaching knowledge of philosophy and history, mastered the art of oration, several languages, built a rich library, and thanks to the above became a respected political and cultural personality. He fought in a war with the Ottoman empire (Esztergom, Visegrád, Fülek, Nógrád). He also became one of the leading representatives of Lutheran nobility, supporting sacral literature. He died in Trencsén, but was buried in Turócszentmárton.

paragraph: Section::::Work.

paragraph: His poetry and historical works influenced the later Slovak historical literature and patriotic works. Révay started producing literature during his studies in Strasbourg. His first work (besides his master thesis) was published in 1592 (article "De parricidio"(Grand Treason)). As one of the first historian in the territory of Hungary, he argued for the ancientness of the Slavs. His works presented Hungary as a multi-national state. His correspondence with the officials of his county was conducted in a cultivated Slovak.

paragraph: Gerard de Lisle, 1st Baron Lisle

paragraph: Gerard II de Lisle, 1st Baron Lisle (1304 – 9 June 1360) of Kingston Lisle, (Latinised to "de Insula" ("from the Island"), French "de L'Isle") was an English nobleman and soldier during King Edward III's campaigns in Scotland and France.

paragraph: Section::::Origins.

paragraph: He was born "circa" 1304, the son and heir of Sir Warin de Lisle, of Kingston Lisle in the parish of Sparsholt, Berkshire, Keeper of Windsor Castle, by his wife Alice le Tyeys, daughter of Henry le Tyeys, 1st Lord Tyeys. His grandfather was Gerard I de Lisle of Kingston Lisle, the younger son of Robert de Lisle of Rougemont by his wife Alice FitzGerold (granddaughter of Henry I FitzGerold (d.1173/4)), the heiress of Kingston. The arms of Barons Lisle of Rougemont were: "Or, a fess between two chevrons sable". In 1269 Alice granted the manor of Kingston to her younger son Gerard I de Lisle, whose family adopted the arms of FitzGerold: "Gules, a lion statant guardant argent crowned or".

paragraph: Section::::Residence.

paragraph: He resided chiefly at Stowe Nine Churches in Northamptonshire and Kingston Lisle (in Sparsholt), Berkshire (now Oxfordshire).

paragraph: Section::::Career.

In 1332 Richard Herman was attached to answer Gerard de Lisle concerning a plea why with force and arms he broke the close of the said Gerard at Alverston, Hampshire and dug in his separate soil there, and took and carried away twenty cartloads of earth extracted therefrom to the value of 40 shillings, and depastured, trampled on, and consumed his grass once growing there to the value of 60 shillings. In 1339 Gerard had a dispute with his mother, Alice, regarding the presentation of the church of Stowe, Northamptonshire, but admitted it was not his turn to present; he also complained of trespass on his park at Stowe.

paragraph: He served on the English side in the Second War of Scottish Independence in 1333 and 1335, under Richard FitzAlan, 10th Earl of Arundel. He served with him again during the Hundred Years' War in France and fought at the Battle of Crecy, 1346.

paragraph: Section::::Created Baron Lisle.

paragraph: He married twice:

paragraph: BULLET::::- Firstly (after 3 December 1329) to Eleanor de Arundel (d. before 1347), daughter of Edmund de Arundel (or Fitz Alan), Knight, 9th Earl of Arundel, by Alice, daughter of William de Warenne, Knight. She was the widow of William de Saint John. In 1338 he settled the manors of Stowe and Church Brampton, Northamptonshire on himself and his wife Eleanor. She was living in 1342, in which year Gerard sued his receiver, John son of Robert de Hulle, regarding various monies received from various manors, among them Abbotstone, Hampshire and Walberton, Sussex, which Eleanor held in dower of her first marriage. He presented to the churches of Abbotstone, Hampshire, 1349, and Mundford, Norfolk, 1349 and 1352. She was dead by 1347 when he contracted to marry Margery, widow of Nicholas de la Beche, late Constable of the Tower of London, but who was abducted and married by Sir John Dalton. By Eleanor, Gerard had one son:

paragraph: BULLET::::- Sir Warin Lisle, 2nd Baron Lisle.

paragraph: BULLET::::- He married secondly (before 1 July 1351 (date of settlement) and possibly as early as 29 July 1349 (date of his presentation to Abbotstone church)) to Elizabeth le Strange (d.1362), daughter of Sir John le Strange, 2nd Baron Strange of Blackmere, by Ankaret le Boteler, daughter of William le Boteler, 1st Baron Boteler of Wem.

paragraph: Bernard Katz

paragraph: Sir Bernard Katz, FRS (26 March 1911 – 20 April 2003) was a German-born Australian physician and biophysicist, noted for his work on nerve physiology. He shared the Nobel Prize in physiology or medicine in 1970 with Julius Axelrod and Ulf von Euler. He was knighted in 1969.

paragraph: Section::::Life and career.

paragraph: Katz was born in Leipzig, Germany, to a Jewish family originally from Russia, the son of Eugenie (Rabinowitz) and Max Katz, a fur merchant. He was educated at the Albert Gymnasium in that city from 1921 to 1929 and went on to study medicine at the University of Leipzig. He graduated in 1934 and fled to Britain in February 1935, because the rise of Hitler made for a dangerous environment for Jews.

paragraph: Katz went to work at University College London, initially under the tutelage of Archibald Vivian Hill. He finished his PhD in 1938 and won a Carnegie Fellowship to study with John Carew Eccles at the Kanematsu Institute of Sydney Medical School. During this time, both he and Eccles gave research lectures at the University of Sydney. He was naturalised in 1941 and joined the Royal Australian Air Force in 1942. He spent the war in the Pacific as a radar officer and returned to UCL as an assistant director in 1946.

paragraph: Back in England he also worked with the 1963 Nobel prize winners Alan Hodgkin and Andrew Huxley. Katz was made a professor at UCL in 1952 and head of biophysics, he was elected a Fellow of the Royal Society (FRS) in 1952. He stayed as head of biophysics until 1978 when he became emeritus professor.

paragraph: Katz married Marguerite Penly in 1945. He died in London on 20 April 2003, at the age of 92. He is survived by his two sons, David and Jonathan. David is a practising doctor, while Jonathan is Public Orator of The University of Oxford.

paragraph: Section::::Research.

paragraph: His research uncovered fundamental properties of synapses, the junctions across which nerve cells signal to each other and to other types of cells. By the 1950s, he was studying the biochemistry and action of acetylcholine, a signalling molecule found in synapses linking motor neurons to muscles, used to stimulate contraction. Katz won the Nobel for his discovery with Paul Fatt that neurotransmitter release at synapses is "quantal", meaning that at any particular synapse, the amount of neurotransmitter released is never less than a certain amount, and if more is always an integral number times this amount. Scientists now understand that this circumstance arises because, prior to their release into the synaptic gap, transmitter molecules reside in like-sized subcellular packages known as synaptic vesicles, released in a similar way to any other vesicle during exocytosis.

paragraph: Katz's work had immediate influence on the study of organophosphates and organochlorines, the basis of new post-war study for nerve agents and pesticides, as he determined that the complex enzyme cycle was easily disrupted.

paragraph: Bill Scott (voice actor)

paragraph: William John Scott (August 2, 1920 – November 29, 1985) was an American voice actor, writer and producer for animated cartoons, primarily associated with Jay Ward and UPA, as well as one of the founding members of ASIFA-Hollywood.

paragraph: Section::::Career.

paragraph: Scott was born in Philadelphia, Pennsylvania on August 2, 1920. The family later moved to Trenton, New Jersey, and in 1936 to Denver, Colorado. Scott graduated from the University of Denver with a degree in English.

paragraph: During World War II he served in the U.S. Army's First Motion Picture Unit (reporting to Lt. Ronald Reagan), where he worked with such animators as Frank Thomas. After the war, he became what was then known as a "story man" at Warner Bros., working under director Arthur Davis. After a job as a writer on Bob Clampett's "Time For Beany" TV puppet show, he later worked at the cutting-edge studio United Productions of America where he was one of the writers who adapted Dr. Seuss's original story for the 1950 Academy Award-winning short "Gerald McBoing-Boing", which later became a television show, as well as adapting the 1953 Academy Award-nominated short film of Edgar Allan Poe's "The Tell-Tale Heart".

paragraph: Scott began work as a voice actor as well when he joined Jay Ward as head writer and co-producer, and voice acted in such television series as "The Rocky and Bullwinkle Show" (most notably as Bullwinkle and Mister Peabody, as well as Dudley Do-Right and George of the Jungle). In a 1982 interview, Scott said, "I got a call from Jay [Ward] asking if I'd be interested in writing another series, an adventure script with a moose and a squirrel. I said, 'Sure.' I didn't know if I could write an adventure with a moose and a squirrel, but I never turned down a job." Scott never received an on-screen credit for his voice acting on any of the Ward series.

paragraph: He also wrote many commercials for General Mills because General Mills had financed much of "The Rocky and Bullwinkle Show," and the Quaker Oats Company, most notably those for Cap'n Crunch cereal. The voice of Rocky, Nell Fenwick and many of the feminine roles were performed by June Foray, although Scott's wife Dorothy voiced several female parts as well.

paragraph: Scott has also worked as a voice director on "The Gerald McBoing-Boing Show" and a dialogue director on the 1959 animated comedy feature film "1001 Arabian Nights".

paragraph: Scott also starred on "George of the Jungle" as George, Super Chicken, and Tom Slick, as well as "Fractured Flickers" and "Hoppity Hooper". Scott also had done live-action acting on the television show "The Duck Factory" which starred Jim Carrey, as well as featuring noted voice actors Don Messick and Frank Welker. In the episode "The Annie Awards", Scott plays the emcee at an award ceremony for cartoonists.

paragraph: Scott was a member of the Screen Cartoonist's Guild of which he was President in 1952. He was also a member of the Screen Actors Guild and was elected to the Board of Governors of the Academy of Motion Picture Arts and Sciences.

paragraph: Section::::Later career.

paragraph: Toward the end of his career, Scott worked for Walt Disney Studios, where he voiced Moosel on "The Wuzzles", and was Gruffi Gummi, Sir Tuxford, and Toadwart, aka Toadie in "Disney's Adventures of the Gummi Bears" (he was succeeded by Corey Burton, Roger C. Carmel, and Brian Cummings after his death). Gummi Bears, his last role, had also reunited him with June Foray, his "Rocky and Bullwinkle" co-star. Scott was also a fine singer and performer, active with a Little Theatre group in Tujunga called the Foothill Curtain Raisers, and an ambitious church theater, the Ascension Players. He was a member of the choir at Ascension Episcopal Church, Tujunga, and was especially well known for his talents interpreting Gilbert and Sullivan as a member of the Cañada-Savoy G&S troupe in La Cañada, CA. He did much to encourage aspiring actors and musicians. He donated great amounts of time to tutoring young people in difficulty.

paragraph: Section::::Death.

paragraph: Scott died of a heart attack at age 65 on November 29, 1985 in Tujunga, Los Angeles, California. Further episodes and seasons of "The Wuzzles" were canceled, and Scott's roles in "Disney's Adventures of the Gummi Bears" were all recast with different actors.

paragraph: Charlotte von Stein

paragraph: Charlotte Albertine Ernestine von Stein (also mentioned as "Charlotta Ernestina Bernadina von Stein" ), born von Schardt; 25 December 1742, Eisenach – 6 January 1827, Weimar, was a lady-in-waiting at the court in Weimar and a close friend to both Friedrich Schiller and Johann Wolfgang von Goethe, whose work and life were strongly influenced by her.

paragraph: Section::::Childhood.

paragraph: Charlotte's parents were Hofmarschall Johann Wilhelm Christian von Schardt and Concordia Elisabeth von Schardt. While her father was a wasteful eccentric, her mother who had had Scottish ancestors was said to be very quiet and dutiful.

paragraph: Her parents moved to Weimar when Charlotte was yet a little child and she was prepared for working as a lady-in-waiting. Her education included literature, art, singing and dancing. They said that Charlotte was unobtrusive, witty, graceful and dutiful like her mother was. There were four things she spent most of her time on:

paragraph: BULLET::::- Society (according to her “profession”)

paragraph: BULLET::::- Taking cures (she had a weak constitution)

paragraph: BULLET::::- Literature/Theater/Art (she was an avid writer and later published several dramas, including "Dido" and "Ryno")

paragraph: BULLET::::- Animals (she had various pets, e.g. cats, dogs and doves)

paragraph: Section::::Profession and family.

paragraph: In 1758 Charlotte became a lady-in-waiting to Anna Amalia, Duchess of Saxe-Weimar-Eisenach whom she served until the Duchess's death in 1807.

paragraph: On 17 May 1764 Charlotte married Freiherr Gottlob Ernst Josias Friedrich von Stein (1735-1793). This was not a marriage out of love, but for social and political interests. Often Charlotte remained alone in Weimar, as her husband had to travel a lot, serving the duke of Jena-Weimar. From 1764 to 1773 she gave birth to seven children. The four daughters died, three boys (Karl, Ernst, Fritz) survived. After her seventh child was born she had to take several cures as she was physically exhausted. She was also the aunt of Amalia von Helvig, who became a member of the Royal Swedish Academy of Music.

paragraph: Section::::Charlotte and Goethe.

paragraph: In 1774 Johann Wolfgang von Goethe and Charlotte von Stein met in Weimar. It was the beginning of a deep friendship which lasted for twelve years. During this time she had a strong influence on Goethe's work and life. Goethe took into his house her eleven-year-old son Fritz (her darling), in May 1783, and took over the boy's education to her satisfaction.

paragraph: This period of her life might have been the happiest since she was in the center of social life and attention and met many famous personalities, e.g. Friedrich Schiller, Karl Ludwig Knebel, and Johann Georg Zimmermann. She frequently corresponded with Schiller's wife Charlotte.

paragraph: Section::::In the eyes of her contemporaries.

paragraph: Knebel has given an outstanding depiction of von Stein's nature:

paragraph: Section::::Loneliness and death.

paragraph: In 1786 the deep friendship between Charlotte and Johann Wolfgang von Goethe ended with his sudden departure to Italy without even telling her he wanted to go. Not until after 1800 did their relationship begin to normalize and even then it never became as close as before.

paragraph: After her husband had died in 1793 Charlotte retired from society and became more and more lonely.

paragraph: In 1794 she wrote the drama "Dido"— a literary self-portrait that also depicted her disappointment about Goethe's behavior. It reflected the years from 1770 to 1790 and the situation in Weimar at that time. As depicted by Virgil, Dido (Queen of Carthage) was forsaken by her lover Aeneas who set off for Italy - an obvious parallel to von Stein herself and Goethe.

paragraph: Charlotte von Stein died on 6 January 1827 in the age of 85.

paragraph: Avishai Cohen (bassist)

paragraph: Avishai Cohen (; born April 20, 1970) is an Israeli jazz double bassist, composer, singer, and arranger.

paragraph: Section::::Early life.

paragraph: Avishai was born in Kabri, a kibbutz in northern Israel. He grew up in a musical family at Motza and Beit Zayit near Jerusalem until the age of six, when his family moved to Shoeva, western Israel. He began playing the piano at 9 years old, but changed to the bass guitar at the age of 14, inspired by bassist Jaco Pastorius. Later, after playing in an Army band for two years, he began studying upright bass with Michael Klinghoffer. Two years later he moved to New York City, and got in contact with other jazz players. At the beginning of his stay there he had to struggle, working in jobs like construction. According to him his first year there was the most difficult year of his life, having to play bass in the streets, subways and parks. He studied music at The New School for Jazz and Contemporary Music, and after playing Latin jazz in a few bands in his student years, Cohen was approached by pianist Danilo Pérez to join his trio.

paragraph: Section::::Breakthrough.

paragraph: After a long period of performing in small clubs, Cohen got a phone call from the jazz pianist Chick Corea and was given a record contract. In 1996, he became a founding member of Corea's sextet Origin, and his first four albums as a leader were subsequently released under Corea's Stretch label. Cohen performed in Corea's bands until as late as 2003, when he left the Chick Corea New Trio and started his own record label; he currently performs with his own group, the Avishai Cohen Trio (with fellow Israelis Daniel Dor on drums and Nitai Hershkovits on piano). His later albums have been released by this formation with extended lineup including wind instruments.

paragraph: Aside from Corea, Cohen has accompanied, recorded or performed with several noted jazz figures such as Bobby McFerrin, Roy Hargrove, Herbie Hancock, Kurt Rosenwinkel, Nnenna Freelon and Paquito D'Rivera. Other collaborators include Claudia Acuña ("Wind from the South", 2000), Alicia Keys (studio recording) and the London and Israel Philharmonic Orchestras (concert performances). Cohen has been cited as "undoubtedly the most successful" of Israel's jazz exports by "The Jerusalem Post" a "jazz visionary of global proportions" by "Down Beat", one of the 100 Most Influential Bass Players of the 20th Century by "Bass Player" magazine, and "a great composer" and "a genius musician" by Chick Corea himself.

paragraph: Section::::Razdaz Recordz.

paragraph: In 2002, Cohen founded his record label, Razdaz Recordz, and on September 9 of 2003, released his label's debut album, "Lyla". "I've always been interested in several genres of music, including jazz, rock, pop, Latin and funk," says Cohen. "I'm always packed with ideas. I decided to start my own label because I'm involved in so many different projects." (Avishai Cohen, 2003) As of 2012, the label had produced 12 albums, five of which were Cohen's. Other artists associated with the label include pianist Sam Barsh, saxophonist Jimmy Green, flutist Ilan Salem, and guitarist Amos Hoffman. Also produced by Razdaz are the works of some of Cohen's associates such as drummer Mark Guiliana, who performed with Cohen on two of his albums. Razdaz produced an album for Guiliana'a band HEERNT in 2006. Razdaz also produced "Lady of The Forest", the first album of the singer Karen Malka, in 2010. Karen had been touring with Cohen for three years prior. The most recent production of the label is Ilan Salem's album "Wild", which is Ilan's third album, though it is his first under Razdaz.

paragraph: Section::::Lyla.

paragraph: "Lyla" is the first album released by Cohen's Razdaz Recordz. The album was lauded for its genre breaking diversity. Cohen reflects on his work, "Lyla reflects much of who I am as an artist. The International Vamp Band has been touring for two years and I wanted to document that. I also started a rock band Gadu with Israeli drummer named Mike Starr dubbed by 'Drummer magazine' as one of the most aggressive drummers in Jazz and some young musicians who are graduates of William Paterson College. It's creating a buzz in New York, I have been exploring a lot of new territory. I've also been working on pop tunes with a female vocalist named Lola. And, of course, to show the whole picture on the CD, I wanted to acknowledge my relationship to Chick. I've been associated with him for six years and have played hundreds of shows in his bands, so we're very connected."

paragraph: Section::::Music.

paragraph: Cohen's signature sound is a blend of Middle Eastern, eastern European, and African-American musical idioms. "The New York Times" describes his 2006 album "Continuo" as conjoining "heavy Middle Eastern groove with a delicate, almost New Age lyricism".

paragraph: Cohen often sings in Judaeo-Spanish (Ladino), to which he has a connection through his mother. For example, "Morenika", from his album "Aurora", is a very famous Ladino song he grew up hearing his mother singing around the house.
