paragraph: Adelaide of Hesse

paragraph: Adelaide of Hesse () (after 1323 – after May 26, 1371) was a daughter of Henry II, Landgrave of Hesse, and his wife Elisabeth of Thuringia, daughter of Frederick I, margrave of Meissen. Adelaide was a member of the House of Hesse.

paragraph: Section::::Biography.

paragraph: She was named after her paternal grandmother.

paragraph: Section::::Biography.:Unhappy marriage.

paragraph: On September 29, 1341 in Poznań, Adelaide married Casimir III the Great, King of Poland. The marriage was result of agreement between Casimir III and Luxemburgs.

paragraph: This was Casimir's second marriage, after the death of his first wife, Aldona of Lithuania. Casimir had no male heir, though he had two daughters, Elizabeth and Kunigunde. On September 29, 1341, Adelaide was crowned in Poznań Cathedral. The marriage was very unhappy, Casimir started living separately from Adelaide soon after their marriage.

paragraph: Section::::Biography.:Annulment.

paragraph: Their loveless marriage lasted until 1356. Casimir separated from Adelaide and married his mistress Christina. Christina was the widow of Miklusz Rokiczani, a wealthy merchant. The bigamy and his womanizing Casimir got into severe trouble with the clergy.

paragraph: Casimir continued living with Christina despite complaints by Pope Innocent VI on behalf of Adelaide. The marriage lasted until 1363/1364 when Casimir again declared himself divorced. They had no children. The marriage to Adelaide was annulled in 1368. Then Casimir married his fourth wife Jadwiga (Hedwig) of Żagań.

paragraph: This marriage produced another three daughters.

paragraph: With Adelaide still alive and Christina possibly as well, the marriage to Jadwiga was also considered bigamous. The legitimacy of the three last daughters was disputed. Casimir managed to have two of his daughters, Anna and Kunigunde legitimatized by Pope Urban V on December 5, 1369. Jadwiga the younger was legitimatized by Pope Gregory XI on October 1, 1371.

paragraph: Section::::Later life.

paragraph: After the annulment of her marriage, Adelaide went back home to Hesse. She spent the rest of her life in Hesse.

paragraph: After her ex-husband's death, she fought for her property rights. She intervened in this case to the pope Gregory XI. On May 26, 1371 the Pope urged King Louis to give back her property.

paragraph: Emilio de' Cavalieri

paragraph: Emilio de' Cavalieri, or Emilio dei Cavalieri — the spellings "del" and "Cavaliere" are contemporary typographical errors — (c. 1550 – 11 March 1602) was an Italian composer, producer, organist, diplomat, choreographer and dancer at the end of the Renaissance era. His work, along with that of other composers active in Rome, Florence and Venice, was critical in defining the beginning of the musical Baroque era. A member of the Roman School of composers, he was an influential early composer of monody, and wrote what is usually considered to be the first oratorio.

paragraph: Section::::Life.

paragraph: Cavalieri was born in Rome of an aristocratic and musical family. He was the son of Tommaso de' Cavalieri (ca. 1509–1587), the close friend of Michelangelo. He probably received his early training there, and was working as an organist and music director in the period from 1578 to 1584. He spent much of his time in Rome as an organiser of Lenten oratorios. While in Rome he became associated with Cardinal Ferdinando de' Medici.

paragraph: In 1587, Ferdinando de' Medici succeeded his brother as Grand Duke of Tuscany, and in 1588 he brought Cavalieri to Florence as an overseer of artists, craftsmen and musicians. Cavalieri was master of ceremonies for the extremely opulent "intermedi" that the Medici family required for events such as weddings. Count Giovanni de' Bardi, the founder and patron of the Florentine Camerata, also collaborated on these productions. In May 1589, the festivities for the marriage of Grand Duke Ferdinando to Christina of Lorraine included a performance of Girolamo Bargagli's "La pellegrina", with six especially elaborate "intermedi." The 1st number of the final "intermedio" (6) was initially a piece by Bardi but was replaced in the actual "intermedio" by Cavalieri's virtuosic number based on the "Aria del Gran Duca" which became popular all over Europe and occurs in many arrangements and variations such as that made by Peter Philips in Antwerp. Cavalieri may have gotten some of his ideas for monody directly from Bardi, since Cavalieri was not a member of the Camerata during its period of activity a few years earlier. He may have developed his rivalry with Giulio Caccini, another extremely important and influential early monodist during this period.

paragraph: In the 1590s, while still in Florence, Cavalieri produced several pastorales (a semi-dramatic predecessor to opera, set in the country, with shepherds and shepherdesses as common characters). In addition to his musical activities, he was employed as a diplomat during this time, assisting in papal politics, including buying the votes of key cardinals for the elections of popes Innocent IX and Clement VIII who were expected to favour the Medici.

paragraph: During the 1590s he made frequent diplomatic trips to Rome, remaining active in the musical life there. He premiered his famous "Rappresentatione di Anima, et di Corpo..." in February 1600; this piece is generally held to be the first oratorio. According to Roman records the piece was produced twice that year at the Oratorio de Filippini adjacent to Santa Maria in Vallicella, and was witnessed by thirty-five cardinals.

paragraph: In 1600 Cavalieri produced "Euridice", one of the first operas, by Jacopo Peri (libretto by Ottavio Rinuccini); this was part of an elaborate set of festivities for the wedding of Henry IV of France and Maria de' Medici. Unfortunately for Cavalieri, he was not given control of the main event, the production of "Il rapimento di Cefalo"—his rival Giulio Caccini took over from him—and he left Florence in anger, never to return.

paragraph: Section::::Works.

paragraph: Cavalieri claimed to be the inventor of the "stile rappresentativo", what is now usually known as monody, and he made the claim with considerable irritation: "everyone knows I am the inventor of [this style]," he said in a letter of 1600, "and I said so myself in print." Caccini seems to have got more of the credit, perhaps deservedly so, because of his early association with Bardi and Vincenzo Galilei in the 1570s in Florence, where the style was first discussed and probably invented. Comparing himself to Caccini, he said of their two styles: "[my] music moves people to pleasure and sadness, while theirs [i.e. Caccini's and Peri's] moves them to boredom and disgust."

paragraph: Among Cavalieri's secular compositions were madrigals, monodies, and pieces he wrote for "intermedi"; his sacred compositions included a setting of the Lamentations of Jeremiah, and the "Rappresentatione di Anima, et di Corpo." This work, probably the most historically important composition of Cavalieri to survive, consists of alternating speech, strophic songs, recitative-like sections and madrigalian parts; subsequent oratorios often used it as a starting-point. It is the first work to be published with a figured bass. Most importantly, however, it was an attempt to demonstrate, at musically conservative Rome, that the modern monodic style was consistent with the aims of the Counter-Reformation and could be adapted to a religious as opposed to a secular purpose. The quick adoption of the modern musical style by other Roman composers attests to its effectiveness in this regard. Cavalieri was followed by other Roman School composers of the 17th century who included Domenico Mazzocchi, Giacomo Carissimi and Alessandro Scarlatti.

paragraph: Most of his music is in the most advanced style of the time. His four-part vocal music usually has a highly ornamented and expressive melodic line; the differentiation of the melodic line from the others is one of the defining features of the early Baroque. Sometimes he experimented with the Enharmonic scale, or enharmonic chromaticism which required microtonal tunings; apparently he built a special pipe organ in the 1590s for playing this kind of music.

paragraph: Section::::Club career.:Atlético Madrid.

paragraph: Born in Madrid, Borja arrived in his hometown club Atlético Madrid's youth system at the age of four. He began as a goalkeeper, the position which his father played professionally, but he converted him to a forward so that he could enjoy the game more.

paragraph: On 15 May 2010, in the campaign's last round, Borja made his first-team and La Liga debut, coming on as a substitute for Tiago in the 58th minute of the match against Getafe. Twenty minutes later, however, he was stretchered off with a serious anterior cruciate ligament injury on his left knee, in an eventual 0–3 home loss.

paragraph: Seven months after his injury, Borja re-appeared with Atlético B, as a substitute in a 1–0 win over Cacereño. After the match, he stated: "I'm very happy. I've passed really bad times and I've suffered, but now I'm prepared to help the team go up in the league table."

paragraph: In late August 2011 Borja was loaned to Real Murcia, freshly promoted to the second level. On 30 August of the following year he moved to Huesca also in a temporary deal, scoring nine times for the latter during the season as it ended in relegation. On 27 January 2013, he netted in a 2–1 success at Numancia but was also sent off for a second yellow card.

paragraph: On 28 August 2013, Borja joined Deportivo de La Coruña on a two-year loan. After helping his team return to the main tier at the first attempt, he moved to fellow league club Real Zaragoza also in a temporary deal, scoring 22 goals in the regular season, contributing to his team's run to the promotion play-off final and earning a spot in the Team of the Season.

paragraph: On 31 July 2015, Borja was loaned to Eibar in the top flight. He scored his first goals in the competition on 23 September, helping to a 2–2 draw at Levante. He was named the La Liga Player of the Month for October, for his goals against Las Palmas, Sevilla and Barcelona.

paragraph: Section::::Club career.:Swansea City.

paragraph: On 11 August 2016, Swansea City signed Borja on a four-year contract for a club record fee of £15.5 million. He made his debut in the Premier League on 18 September under Francesco Guidolin, replacing Jack Cork for the final eight minutes of a 0–1 loss at Southampton. He scored his first goal on 15 October again off the bench, in a 2–3 defeat away to Arsenal in new manager Bob Bradley's first game in charge.

paragraph: Having started just four matches and having not contributed any more goals as the Swans avoided relegation, Borja entered talks in May 2017 with manager Paul Clement and the board of directors over his future. On 4 July 2017, he was loaned to Málaga in La Liga for one year. Both Málaga and Swansea were relegated from their respective divisions.

paragraph: Borja was loaned again on 16 July 2018, joining Deportivo Alavés also in the Spanish top tier.

paragraph: Section::::International career.

paragraph: Borja represented Spain's under-17 at the 2009 FIFA World Cup in Nigeria. As the national team finally finished in third position he won the Golden Boot with five goals, with teammate Sergi Roberto adding three.

paragraph: With the under-19 team, Borja won the 2011 UEFA European Championship in Romania, but was a support player in a side favouring Álvaro Morata and Juanmi.

paragraph: Eugène Prévost (musician)

paragraph: Eugène-Prosper Prévost (23 April 1809 – 19 August 1872) was a French composer and conductor.

paragraph: Section::::Life.

paragraph: Born in Paris, Prévost was introduced to music by his older sister, the singer Geneviève-Aimé-Zoë Prévost. From 1827 he studied counterpoint at the Conservatoire de Paris with Daniel Jelensperger and Louis Seuriot and musical composition with Jean-François Lesueur. 1831 he won the Premier Grand Prix de Rome with the two-part scene "La Fuite de Bianca Capello" on a text by Amédée de Pastoret.

paragraph: In the same year he married the singer Augustine Dejean-Leroy (born 1807), who became known as Éléonore Colon, and went with her to Le Havre. After his stay in Rome in 1833 he made his debut as a composer with the world premiere of the Opéra bouffe "Cosimo ou le peintre badigeonneur" 1835 at the Opéra-Comique, where several more of his operas were performed until 1839.

paragraph: In 1838 he was engaged as a conductor at the Théâtre Français in New Orleans, where he introduced himself with a performance of "The Barber of Seville". In addition to works by contemporary Italian and French composers such as Gaetano Donizetti and Daniel-François-Esprit Auber, he performed several operas of his own. 1841 he conducted several performances of the ballet "La Sylphide" by Filippo Taglioni with the dancer Fanny Elßler.

paragraph: In the summer of 1843, Prévost toured North America with his orchestra, taking him to New York, Philadelphia and Montreal. In 1845 he performed again in New York, where on July 4 he composed a "Patriotic Cantata" and a "National March" for this occasion. Between 1850 and 1852 he conducted at the theatre in The Hague.

paragraph: In 1853 Prévost conducted the world premiere of the opera "David" by the then fifteen-year-old Ernest Guiraud in New Orleans. He wrote his own compositions, including a three-part oratorio, songs and piano pieces, and worked as a teacher. Among others he studied counterpoint and harmony with Edmond Dédé.

paragraph: With the outbreak of the American Civil War in 1861, Prévost returned to France, but in the summer of the following year gave a benefit concert in New Orleans for the musicians and artists of the city. In 1864 he became director of the Théâtre des Bouffes-Parisiens founded by Offenbach, where he worked until 1867. Besides several operettas by Offenbach he also performed Léo Delibes' "Le Serpent à plumes". He was also conductor of the Concerts des Champs-Élysées from 1864. In 1863 his opera "L'Illustre Gaspard" was performed at the Opéra-Comique.

paragraph: In late 1867, Prévost returned to New Orleans, where he taught music and singing at the "Institution Locquet". His last opera, "Blanche et René", was written here in 1871.

paragraph: Prévost had three sons: Léon Prévost, who also became known as a composer, Toussaint, who became an internationally successful pianist under the name Théodore Ritter, and Eugène, who died in 1856 at the age of sixteen.

paragraph: Ust'-Ishim man

paragraph: Ust'-Ishim man is the term given to the 45,000-year-old remains of one of the early modern humans to inhabit western Siberia. The fossil is notable in that it had intact DNA which permitted the complete sequencing of its genome, the oldest modern human genome to be so decoded.

paragraph: The remains consist of a single bone—left femur—of a male hunter-gatherer, which was discovered in 2008 protruding from the bank of the Irtysh River by Nikolai Peristov, a Russian sculptor who specialises in carving mammoth ivory. Peristov showed the fossil to a forensic investigator who suggested that it might be of human origin. The fossil was named after the Ust'-Ishim District of Siberia where it had been discovered.

paragraph: Section::::Genome sequencing.

paragraph: The fossil was examined by paleoanthropologists in the Max Planck Institute for Evolutionary Anthropology, located in Leipzig, Germany. Carbon dating showed that the fossil dates back to 45,000 years ago, making it the oldest human fossil to be so dated. Scientists found the DNA intact and were able to sequence the complete genome of Ust'-Ishim man to contemporary standards of quality. Though genomes have been sequenced of hominins pre-dating Ust'-Ishim man, this is the oldest modern human genome to be sequenced to date.

paragraph: Section::::Genome sequencing.:Y-DNA and mtDNA.

paragraph: Since 2016, Ust'-Ishim man has been classified as belonging to Y-DNA haplogroup K2a*, which is defined by the SNP M2308. Before 2016, the remains were believed to belong to Haplogroup K2 (the clade ancestral to K2a). The same research determined that K2a is distinct from and ancestral to both K2a1 and NO* (itself a primary branch of K2a1). It may be inferred that K2a emerged in or near South Asia approximately 47,000 years BP – i.e. K2 is estimated to have originated in South East Asia, about 47,000–55,000 BP, while its secondary descendant NO* is believed to have emerged approximately 38,000 to 47,000 BP.

paragraph: The remains belonged to mitochondrial DNA haplogroup R*. Before 2016 he had been classified as U*.

paragraph: Both of these haplogroups and descendant subclades are now found among populations throughout Eurasia, Oceania and The Americas, although no direct descendants of Ust Ishim man's specific lineages are known from modern populations.

paragraph: Examination of the sequenced genome indicates that Ust'-Ishim man lived at a point in time (270,000 to 45,000 years ago) between the first wave of anatomically modern humans that migrated out of Africa and the divergence of that population into distinct populations, in terms of autosomal DNA in different parts of Eurasia. Consequently, Ust'-Ishim man is not more closely related to the first two major migrations of "Homo Sapiens" eastward from Africa into Asia: a group that migrated along the coast of South Asia, or a group that moved north-east through Central Asia. When compared to other ancient remains, Ust'-Ishim man is more closely related, in terms of autosomal DNA to Tianyuan man, found near Beijing and dating from 42,000 to 39,000 years ago; Mal'ta boy (or MA-1), a child who lived 24,000 years ago along the Bolshaya Belaya River near today's Irkutsk in Siberia, or; La Braña man – a hunter-gatherer who lived in La Braña (modern Spain) about 8,000 years ago.

paragraph: Section::::Genome sequencing.:Relationship with Neanderthals.

paragraph: Analysis of modern human genomes reveals that humans interbred with Neanderthals between 37,000 and 86,000 years ago, resulting in the DNA of humans outside Africa containing between 1.5 and 2.1 percent DNA of Neanderthal origin. Neanderthal DNA in modern humans occurs in broken fragments; however, the Neanderthal DNA in Ust'-Ishim man occurs in clusters, indicating that Ust'-Ishim man lived in the immediate aftermath of the genetic interchange. The genomic sequencing of Ust'-Ishim man has led to refinement of the estimated date of mating between the two hominin species to between 52,000 and 58,000 years ago.

paragraph: No relationship between Denisovans and the Ust'-Ishim man has been checked, although Denisovans have some descendants in Oceania and Asia.

paragraph: Section::::Genome sequencing.:Relationship with modern human populations.

paragraph: Ust’-Ishim is more closely related to modern East Asian and Oceanian populations than to modern West Eurasian populations, such as the current residents of the Ust’-Ishim area. Modern West Eurasians are more closely related to other ancient remains.

paragraph: In a 2016 study, modern Tibetans were identified as the modern population that has the most alleles in common with Ust'-Ishim man. According to a 2017 study, "Siberian and East Asian populations shared 38% of their ancestry" to Ust’-Ishim man.

paragraph: Harvey Prindle Peet

paragraph: Harvey Prindle Peet (Nov. 19, 1794-January 1, 1873) was an American educator.

paragraph: Son of Richard and Joanna (Prindle) Peet, was born in Bethlehem, Connecticut, Nov. 19th, 1794. He began to teach a district school at the age of 16, and persevered until he had earned money enough for a two years' course at Phillips Academy, Andover. He graduated from Yale College in 1822.

paragraph: On leaving college his intention was to devote his life to the Christian ministry, but an invitation to teach in the American Asylum for the Deaf and Dumb, at Hartford, Conn., gave him the opportunity to discover and develop his rare fitness for what was then a new profession. His life was thenceforwards devoted to the cause of deaf-mute education. For nearly nine years he continued in Hartford, and was then appointed Principal of the N. Y. Institution for the Instruction of the Deaf and Dumb, in New York City. Entering on this office in Feb., 1831, he fulfilled its duties for more than thirty-six years, for fourteen of them being President of the Board of Directors. The degree of LL.D. was conferred on him in 1849 by the Regents of the University of the State of New York, and that of PhD. by the National Deaf-mute College in 1871. Under his care the N Y. Institution rose to be much the largest of its kind in the world, and one of the most successful. He published a series of elementary text-books for the use of deaf-mutes, and wrote numerous papers on deaf-mute education and kindred topics.

paragraph: In 1867, Dr. Peet retired from the active labors of his position, retaining the title of Emeritus Principal, and serving as one of the Board of Directors until his death. For the last few years of his life he suffered from rheumatic affections, which finally reaching the region of the heart induced congestion of the lungs. He died within two hours after the opening of the New Year, 1873.

paragraph: Dr. Peet was thrice married. His first wife, Margaret Maria Lewis, daughter of Rev. Isaac Lewis, D.D., to whom he was married Nov. 27th, 1823, died Sept. 23d, 1832, leaving three sons, who became able and accomplished teachers of the deaf and dumb. The two younger, Edward and Dudley (the latter a graduate of Yale in 1852), died in 1862 ; and the eldest (Yale, 1845) has succeeded to his father's office. Dr. Peet married, in 1835, Miss Sarah Ann Smith, a daughter of Matson Smith, M.D., who died Dec. 30th, 1864. His third wife, Mrs. Louisa P. Hotchkiss, to whom he was married Jan. 15th, 1868, survived him. The number of the "American Annals of the Deaf and Dumb" for April, 1873, is a memorial of his life and services.

paragraph: Bruno Zach

paragraph: Bruno Zach (6 May 1891 – 20 February 1945) was an Austrian art deco sculptor of Ukrainian birth who worked in the early-to-mid 20th century. His output included a wide repertoire of genre subjects, however he is best known for his erotic sculptures of young women.

paragraph: Section::::Early life.

paragraph: Bruno Zach was born in Zhytomyr, Ukraine, on 6 May 1891. He emigrated to Austria as a young man and studied at the Vienna Academy under sculptors Hans Bitterlich (1860–1949) and Josef Müllner (1879–1968). His styles ranged from art deco, art nouveau, sporting, to orientalism. His oeuvre would generally be considered decorative if not for his success in producing erotic sculpture.

paragraph: Section::::Career.

paragraph: Zach became a prolific creator of sculptures featuring tall, athletic, dominating women in bronze and ivory, the combination of the two in art casting sometimes being referred to as “chryselephantine”. He most often signed as "B. Zach" or "Bruno Zach", however a number of his pieces were signed with his pseudonyms, being "Prof. Tuch", "Professor Tuch" or "K. Salat". His erotica sculptures usually featured sexy, dreamy, scantily clad mistresses in stockings, garters, and high heels.

paragraph: One of his better known sculptures is the sado-masochistic "The Riding Crop". Original period castings of this sculpture have sold for as much as $151,849, one such sale having taken place at the Bonhams auction house in Knightsbridge on 23 November 2011. According to Bonhams' director of decorative arts, Mark Oliver, "the demand for his work just grows and grows".

paragraph: One of Zach's more controversial sculptures, created circa 1930, was his extremely erotic piece entitled "The Hugger". The sculpture depicts a woman hugging a larger-than-life penis. Zach frequently portrayed the seedy side of nightlife in Berlin with many of his sculptures which often featured prostitutes.

paragraph: His bronze sculptures were generally fired and coated with chemical patinas in mid-brown colors but were sometimes cold painted or polychromed. His used ivory, sparingly, and it was generally well carved. Zach's work was edited by several firms, including Argentor-Werke (Vienna), Broma Companie, S. Altmann and Company, and Franz Bergmann.

paragraph: Kelly Gallagher (alpine skier)

paragraph: Kelly Marie Gallagher, MBE (born 18 May 1985), is a British skier and the first athlete from Northern Ireland to compete in the Winter Paralympics. Gallagher won Britain's first ever Winter Paralympic gold medal during Sochi 2014.

paragraph: Section::::Early life.

paragraph: Gallagher was born on 18 May 1985 and was raised in Bangor in the north of County Down. Her father, Patrick Gallagher, was an airline pilot. She is a graduate in mathematics from the University of Bath.

paragraph: Section::::Pre-Paralympics.

paragraph: Gallagher has oculocutaneous albinism, is visually impaired and competes with a sighted guide. At the 2009 New Zealand Winter Games Gallagher, competing with guide Claire Robb, won gold in her first ever international race, the giant slalom.

paragraph: She was selected for the British team at the 2010 Winter Paralympics in February 2010. Gallagher is funded by the Sport Northern Ireland Athlete Support Programme and supported by the Sports Institute for Northern Ireland and is also backed by Disability Sports NI.

paragraph: Section::::2010 Paralympics.

paragraph: Gallagher was one of seven skiers for Great Britain at the 2010 Winter Paralympics and became the first athlete from Northern Ireland to compete in the Winter Paralympics. At the Games she contested the giant slalom and slalom events for visually impaired athletes. She finished sixth in the slalom but achieved the British team's highest finish, missing out on a medal by a single place and 3.36 seconds in the giant slalom.

paragraph: Section::::Between Paralympics.

paragraph: Following the Paralympics Gallagher sought a new sighted guide to work with her through to the 2014 Winter Paralympics in Sochi and selected 19-year-old Charlotte Evans from Medway. Evans had been out of the sport after she snapped a cruciate ligament in 2009 but took up the role having become a qualified coach.

paragraph: In January 2011 Gallagher became the first British athlete to win a medal at the IPC World Championships. Competing with Evans the pair won the silver medal in the slalom and bronze in the giant slalom at the event held in Sestriere only five weeks after they started working together. The pairing also won a gold medal in slalom at the 2011 Europa Cup Finals.

paragraph: Section::::2014 Paralympics.

paragraph: Gallagher won Britain's first ever Winter Paralympic gold on 10 March 2014, during the 2014 Winter Paralympics in Sochi, Russia. She finished first in the visually impaired Super-G competition. She fell during both the super-combined and the giant slalom.

paragraph: She was appointed Member of the Order of the British Empire (MBE) in the 2014 Birthday Honours for services to sport for people with a visual impairment. The Ski Club of Great Britain awarded her with a Pery Medal along with the other medal winners from the 2014 Olympics and Paralympics.

paragraph: Section::::2017 World Championships and 2018 Paralympics.

paragraph: In 2017 Gallagher was selected for the 2017 World Para Alpine Skiing Championships in Tarvisio in Italy. Partnered with Gary Smith, she crashed during training on the championship sloped and injured herself after colliding into the safety netting. She sustained a dislocated elbow and three fractured ribs in the accident and was airlifted to a local hospital. Gallagher's injuries ruled her out of the championship and her subsequent rehabilitation meant that she only returned to the slopes in the season leading up to the 2018 Winter Paralympics.

paragraph: Konstantin Fofanov

paragraph: Konstantin Mikhailovich Fofanov (}; May 30, 1862 – May 30, 1911) was a Russian poet.

paragraph: Section::::Biography.

paragraph: Konstantin was born into a family of St. Petersburg merchants. His father had been born a peasant, but had risen to the merchant class through the selling of firewood. Konstantin was one of ten children. At the age of six he began attending a primary school. He later attended the cheap private Aimee and Kestner pensions, as well as the St. Petersburg city school, but left before completing the second form after his father went bankrupt and became a mystic. As a result, Konstantin didn't receive a formal education. He made up for his lack of education by the constant reading of magazines and books, sometimes messy, but extremely diverse. His reading was clearly on an ad hoc basis, but he was fascinated by books, becoming addicted to poetry at the age of thirteen, and beginning to write his own verses.

paragraph: He made his debut in print in 1881. He published poems in the illustrated weeklies, and in the newspaper "New Times", ran by Aleksey Suvorin. After the success of his first collection "Poems" (1887), Suvorin issued a second book of poetry by Fofanov with the same title in 1889. After this Fofanov published "Shadows and Mystery" (1892), a novella in verse "The Baron Clasco" (1892) and "Poems" (in five parts, 1896).

paragraph: In general, the period from the mid-1880s to the mid-1890s in the history of Russian poetry, is often called "Fofanovism" because the poetry of Fofanov had the support of popular sentiment, found a wide response from readers and provoked much imitation. His talent was praised by fellow poets Yakov Polonsky and Apollon Maykov and writers such as Leo Tolstoy and Nikolai Leskov.

paragraph: Fofanov is considered to be a precursor of the Symbolists.

paragraph: Fofanov was an alcoholic, and in the early 1890s suffered from a severe mental illness. The last ten years of his life were spent in poverty and drunkenness. He continued to write, but published only a collection of poems "Illusions" (1900), a poem in octaves "Uncommon Romance" and the poem "After Calvary" (1910).

paragraph: Eberhard von Stohrer

paragraph: Eberhard von Stohrer (May 2, 1883 – March 7, 1953) was a career German diplomat who served during World War I and World War II. The son of an Army General from Württemberg, he studied at Leipzig University, receiving a Doctor of Law degree. He also studied at the University of Strasbourg and the School of Political Sciences in Paris.

paragraph: Section::::Beginnings as a diplomat.

paragraph: In 1909, he joined the German diplomatic corps, becoming attaché of the embassy in Sofia, Bulgaria. In 1910, he was transferred to London, and in 1912 to Brussels. After a short period of time in Berlin with the central office of the Imperial Ministry of Foreign Affairs, he moved to Madrid, where he learned to speak fluent Spanish and organized an intelligence network closely associated, apparently, to German Ambassador Leopold von Hoesch. In 1925, he married Maria Ursula von Stohrer, née von Gunther. She was the daughter of cavalry officer Franz von Günther and Ilse von Koch, born in Wannsee, Berlin, who spent her childhood between Berlin and the countryside.

paragraph: After World War I, he moved to Berlin, and rose through the ranks of the diplomatic corps. In 1927, he was named Germany's envoy to Egypt, and he negotiated a treaty of friendship between Germany and the Kingdom of Hijaz in 1929. He was an avid automobile racer and became lost during an April 1936 race between Cairo and the Bahariya Oasis.

paragraph: Section::::Diplomatic missions in Spain.

paragraph: During the Spanish Civil War from July 1936 to April 1939, he stayed in Madrid, acting as an observer and spy of the Second Spanish Republic and reporting news to the Nazi government in Berlin. Artillery General Wilhelm Faupel was the Nazi envoy to General Francisco Franco's Salamanca headquarters from February to October 1937. There is evidence however that von Stohrer presented his credentials as Ambassador of Germany at Salamanca on 27 August 1937 as ordered from Berlin.

paragraph: He was then appointed German ambassador to Romania, where he served until 1939, when he returned to Berlin. He participated in Operation Willi, the German plot to kidnap the Duke of Windsor. He participated in the role during negotiations between the two countries, earlier than 8 July 1940, about Operation Felix, the proposed German seizure of Gibraltar.

paragraph: Section::::Franco-Hitler meeting at Hendaye.

paragraph: He was one of the organizers of the Meeting at Hendaye on the Spanish-French border, 23 October 1940, of Adolf Hitler and Joachim von Ribbentrop, with General Francisco Franco and Franco´s brother in law Ramón Serrano Suñer).

paragraph: Section::::Biography.

paragraph: Kyōgoku Tadataka is best known for his participation in the Tokugawa clans 1615 military campaign for Osaka where he commanded 2,000 troops in service to the Tokugawas. During this campaign, he successfully led a flanking maneuver against the defenders of Osaka Castle in the Shigino area northeast of the castle together with Ishikawa Tadafusa and fellow clan member Kyōgoku Takatomo. This maneuver was instrumental in the Tokugawa victory.

paragraph: Later from 1620 to 1629, Kyōgoku Tadataka is recorded as having spent ninety two thousand "koku" on the re-construction of Osaka Castle.

paragraph: Section::::Marriage and Descendants.

paragraph: Kyōgoku Tadataka was married to the fourth daughter of Matsudaira Tadanao. In 1607, he married the fourth daughter of Tokugawa Hidetada, a marriage which did not produce any heirs. As such, the lands and assets of the family should have reverted to the ruling "shōgun". However, the bakufu acted to continue his line by posthumously designating Kyōgoku Takakazu as an heir. Takakazu was Tadataka's nephew, the son of his brother Takamasa. Tadakazu was initially enfeoffed at Tatsuno (50,000 "koku") in Harima Province.

paragraph: Aimee Nicole E. Fuller (born 21 July 1991) is a British slopestyle snowboarder who represented Great Britain at the 2014 Winter Olympics and the 2018 Winter Olympics.

paragraph: Section::::Early life.

paragraph: Fuller was born in Farnborough, in London, and grew up in nearby Keston. She moved to Washington D.C., USA, in 2003 aged 12, attending the British School of Washington, but moved back to the UK at the age of 16 to live in Northern Ireland where she attended Sullivan Upper School in Holywood.

paragraph: Fuller is a 2 X Olympian, competed for Great Britain at the 2014 Winter Olympics in Sochi, Russia. In the women's slopestyle event she scored 39.00 on her first run and 44.50 on her second run during her heat to finish tenth and so did not qualify directly for the final. She then competed in the semi-finals of the competition scoring 33.75 on her first run and 37.50 on her second run to finish in ninth place, missing out on qualification for the finals and finishing in 17th position overall. Following her elimination Fuller joined the BBC Sport commentary team for the final of her event as compatriot Jenny Jones won a bronze medal, the nation's first ever Olympic medal on snow. Fuller and the other members of the commentary team, Ed Leigh and Tim Warwood, cried when Jones won her medal and were criticised – by some yet enjoyed by others – for their low standard of commentary and for cheering when Jones' competitor Anna Gasser fell during her run. The incident drew more than 300 complaints and created the phrase "Jenny Jones, has just bossed the Slope Style".

paragraph: In April 2019 Fuller ran her first ever marathon, the Pyongyang Marathon in North Korea.

paragraph: Brett Garsed

paragraph: Brett Edward Garsed (born 20 April 1963) is an Australian musician and songwriter, best known for his work as a guitarist with John Farnham and T. J. Helmerich, as well as being a former member of the American band Nelson. Garsed was featured on Derek Sherinian's solo records "Planet X" (1999) and Planet X's "Quantum" (2007), and more recently Sherinian's "Molecular Heinosity" (2010).

paragraph: Section::::Career.

paragraph: Section::::Career.:Early life.

paragraph: Garsed was born in rural Victoria, Australia and began playing guitar at age 12 after hearing Deep Purple's Ritchie Blackmore play "Speed King". After about a month of initial lessons, he continued to teach himself and formed a band composed of his two cousins and a mutual friend and began playing live.

paragraph: Section::::Career.:1980s and 1990s.

paragraph: In July 1985, Garsed was featured in "Guitar Player" magazine’s "Spotlight" column, which was devoted to exposing new talent to the rest of the world. This encouraged Garsed to give up his job as a licensed plumber and pursue a career as a professional musician, prompting him to send demo tapes to as many record companies and management companies as he could find. "I wasn’t looking for a record deal. I just wanted to get into a good band." One of the tapes was heard by Ross Fraser of the Wheatley Organization, which led to an audition for a short tour by Australian superstar John Farnham. Farnham, at this time still a member of the Little River Band, was planning a solo album and invited him to be a part of the project. The resulting album, "Whispering Jack", went on to become the biggest selling album in Australian history, followed by sellout tours of Australia and Europe.

paragraph: Garsed continued to tour and record with Farnham until early 1989, when he was invited to the US to audition for Nelson, a band led by Gunnar and Matthew, sons of the late Ricky Nelson. The audition was a success and the resulting album, "After the Rain", went on to sell in excess of three million copies and yielded a national No. 1 ('Love and Affection') as well as two Top Ten follow-up singles. In early 1990, Garsed also recorded "Centrifugal Funk" for Mike Varney's label Legato Records, an intense guitar album featuring Frank Gambale and Shawn Lane.

paragraph: For most of 1991 Garsed toured the US with Nelson, and spent ‘92 recording Quid Pro Quo with Chicago-born guitarist T J Helmerich after the duo decided to sign to Varney’s label. With Nelson on a seemingly permanent hiatus, Garsed and TJ pursued their career promoting Quid Pro Quo, which featured Bobby Rock on drums, Gary Willis on bass and Paul Mirkovich on keys. Greeted with critical acclaim worldwide, the pair recorded the follow-up album "Exempt" in 1993. In 1996 Bobby Rock released "Out Of Body", a progressive rock album featuring Garsed on guitar.

paragraph: In 1994 Garsed also filmed an instructional video for REH/Warner titled "Rock Fusion" which covers, in detail, his unique approach to guitar improvisation.

paragraph: Garsed’s most recent recording projects include the Uncle Moe’s Space Ranch album featuring TJ Helmerich, Gary Willis, Dennis Chambers and Scott Kinsey, the Tapestry album which was released under the band name Mojo and features Ric Fierabracci on bass and Kofi Baker, son of Ginger Baker on drums, and more recently his debut solo album "Big Sky" with Fierabracci returning for bass and production duties and Toss Panos behind the drums.

paragraph: Garsed returned to Australia after 14 years in Los Angeles and completed the seven-month-long "Last Time" tour with John Farnham. His first solo album, "Big Sky", was released in 2002. After nearly a decade, he followed this up with "Dark Matter" in 2011. In 2004, "Rock Guitar Improvisation", his second instructional DVD was released covering many aspects of his technique. This DVD also included some live footage.

paragraph: In 2007, Garsed toured with Paul Stanley on his Live to Win tour. Garsed played rhythm guitar and provided backing vocals.

paragraph: In 2011, Garsed took part in the John Farnham "Whispering Jack - 25th Anniversary" tour around Australia, revisiting the parts he created on Australia's highest selling locally made album. Garsed also released his solo album "Dark Matter" in 2011.

paragraph: Section::::Influences and style.

paragraph: Garsed is mainly an improviser guitarist, renowned for his legato and hybrid picking technique, a combination that provides him with an extremely fluid sound to his playing. He has also mastered a distinctive slide guitar sound, specially noticeable in his latest releases.

paragraph: Rather than relying on scale patterns and figures, he plays with a relative pitch approach, which allows him to play the melodies in his mind. A fundamental component of his music is the use of wide intervals and chromatic passing tones.

paragraph: His early influences were Ritchie Blackmore, Jeff Beck, Jimmy Page, David Gilmour and Jimi Hendrix. This later expanded to more diverse styles such as Leo Kottke, Allan Holdsworth, Rory Gallagher, Scott Henderson, and Edward Van Halen.

paragraph: Andrejs Upīts (4 December 1877, Skrīveri parish, Russian Empire – 17 November 1970, Riga, Latvian SSR) was a Latvian teacher, poet, short story writer and Communist polemicist.

paragraph: Section::::Literary activity.

paragraph: Andrejs Upīts, while writing for the newspaper "Mājas viesis" under the pseudonym Andrei Araji in 1892, published his first articles, "Parunas, Skrīveros uzrakstītas" (Recorded Proverbs of Skrīveri) (No. 15) and "Kā mūsu senči agrāk Vidzemē dzīvojuši" (How Our Ancestors Once Lived in Vidzeme) (No. 20). Upīts wrote novels, stories, drama, tragedy, comedy, poetry, satire, journalism, and literary criticism. His children's novel, "Sūnu ciema zēni" ("The Boys of Moss Village"), is included in the compulsory reading list of schools. He was one of the more multifaceted Latvian writers. Upīts' heroes possess striking character and he used a rich language.

paragraph: His works were banned twice: the first time after Kārlis Ulmanis' coup of 1934, and the second during the years of the Soviet regime, when his performance of his play, "Ziedošais tuksnesis" (The Blooming Desert) was prohibited at the Dailes Theatre and censors prohibited distribution of his book, "Literatūras vēsture" (The History of Literature).

paragraph: Guidantonio da Montefeltro

paragraph: Guidantonio da Montefeltro (1377 – February 1443) was count of Urbino in Italy from 1403 until his death.

paragraph: In 1403, at the death of his father Antonio, Guidantonio inherited the family lands in the region of Italy called the Marche. Later he abandoned the Papal suzerainty and allied with King Ladislaus of Naples, who made him "Gran conestabile" of the Kingdom of Naples in 1411. Excommunicated by Pope Gregory XII, he took advantage of that move to conquer Assisi. He also controlled Castello, Cagli, Forlì, and Forlimpopoli.

paragraph: Guidantonio later reconciled with Pope Martin V and with his enemy, the condottiero Braccio da Montone. In 1427 he occupied Urbania.

paragraph: He died in 1443, his son Oddantonio succeeding him in Urbino.

paragraph: Section::::Family and children.

paragraph: He married Ringarda Malatesta in 1397, but the two had no children. Guidantonio remarried with Caterina Colonna, who bore him 9 children. Apart from Oddantonio, his most famous son was the legitimated Federico, who was Duke of Urbino, as well as a condottiero and one of the most famous patron of arts in the Italian Renaissance. His daughter Sveva (1434–1478) married Alessandro Sforza, lord of Pesaro.

paragraph: Hermann II (28 March 1222 in Creuzburg – 3 January 1241) was the Landgrave of Thuringia and the son of Louis IV, Landgrave of Thuringia, and Saint Elizabeth of Hungary.

paragraph: Section::::Life.

paragraph: With Louis's death in 1227, his brother Henry Raspe assumed the regency due to the minority of four-year-old Hermann. Henry managed to officially succeed his brother after the death of Elizabeth in 1231. Hermann never reigned and died ten years later; some historians have accused Henry of poisoning the youth. He was married to Helen, daughter of Otto I, Duke of Brunswick-Lüneburg.
