paragraph: Harlan Tarbell

paragraph: Harlan Eugene Tarbell (February 23, 1890 – June 16, 1960) was an American stage magician and illustrator of the early 20th century. He was the author of the well-known "Tarbell Course in Magic".

paragraph: His only foray into cinema was an early 1930s film short entitled "Buck Rogers in the 25th Century". He directed the production and starred as Doctor Huer.

paragraph: Section::::Childhood and career in illustration.

paragraph: Tarbell was born on February 23, 1890 in the Illinois town of Delavan, but spent his childhood in Groveland. Tarbell created cartoons for a newspaper in Morton when he was 12 years old. It was at this time that Tarbell received one of his earliest introductions to professional magic, when he hiked five miles along the railroad tracks to watch magician Harry August Jansen, aka Dante, perform at the Morton Town Hall.

paragraph: In 1911, Tarbell moved to Chicago in order to pursue a professional career in illustration. His efforts attracted the attention of the magic company Read and Covert, which hired Tarbell to work on their "Illustrated Catalogue of Superior Magical Apparatus". Tarbell continued to produce illustrations for Read and Covert until 1941.

paragraph: During World War I, Tarbell served with the 24th Air Company in France, working with the medical department. He found time during his service to illustrate a military atlas and study with French impressionist Claude Monet.

paragraph: Section::::Tarbell Course in Magic.

paragraph: Publishers T. Grant Cooke and Walter A. Jordan developed an interest in producing a correspondence course in magic in the mid-1920s. A few months before his death, Harry Houdini was approached to author the course; Houdini declined but recommended Tarbell. Cook and Jordan hired Tarbell and Walter Baker, another Chicago-area magician, to work on the project, but Baker dropped out of the project in its early stages to concentrate on his performances. The publishers allotted Tarbell $50,000 for the course, which he finished in 1928, producing 60 correspondence lessons with at least 3,100 illustrations.

paragraph: Tarbell later discussed the philosophy behind his course: "There is a big difference between a magician and a man who does tricks...Fundamentally, the making of a magician is no different than the making of other professional people. One must be trained in the mechanics, the alternate methods and be skilled in the presentation in order to meet any conditions which may arise." Unlike other magic courses which placed a greater emphasis on self-working illusions, Tarbell began with fundamental drills and practice sessions involving body position, movement, and sleight-of-hand techniques which were to be incorporated into actual tricks in future lessons.

paragraph: After selling 10,000 complete courses, Cooke and Jordan discontinued marketing the Tarbell Course in Magic in 1931, blaming the Great Depression for slumping sales. In 1941, however, magician Louis Tannen purchased the rights to the course, working with Tarbell and Ralph W. Read (of Read and Covert) to convert the correspondence lessons into book form.

paragraph: D. Robbins and Co./ E-Z Magic purchased all rights from Tannens in 1962 and is the current publisher and distributor of the Tarbell Course in Magic. The Encyclopedia was also translated into the Korean and Japanese languages.

paragraph: Section::::Later life.

paragraph: Tarbell lived in Elmhurst, Illinois for the last 34 years of his life. He suffered a fatal cardiac arrest on June 16, 1960, dying at the age of 70.

paragraph: Benjamin Champney

paragraph: Benjamin Champney (November 20, 1817 – December 11, 1907) was a painter whose name has become synonymous with White Mountain art of the 19th century. He began his training as a lithographer under celebrated marine artist Fitz Henry Lane at Pendleton's Lithography shop in Boston. Most art historians consider him the founder of the "North Conway Colony" of painters who came to North Conway, New Hampshire and the surrounding area during the second half of the 19th century. His paintings were often used to make chromolithographs that were subsequently sold to tourists who could not afford Champney's originals. He exhibited regularly at the Boston Athenæum and was a founder of the Boston Art Club

paragraph: Section::::Early life.

paragraph: Champney was born in New Ipswich, New Hampshire. He first visited Conway in 1838. In 1841, Champney went to France to study, returning to Boston in 1846, and then returned to Europe almost at once to paint a panorama of the Rhine River. He returned to Boston in 1848 and exhibited the panorama there in December. It was subsequently exhibited in Worcester, Massachusetts, New Haven, Connecticut, and New York City. In 1854, he went on a painting trip to Germany and Switzerland with John Frederick Kensett. The panorama, unfortunately, was destroyed by fire in New York City in October 1857.

paragraph: Section::::Allure of North Conway.

paragraph: In 1850, Champney returned to the White Mountains with his friend, Kensett. Their enthusiasm and paintings drew large numbers of Boston and New York artists to the Conway area. In 1853, Champney married and bought a house between Conway and North Conway. It would be his summer home for over fifty years. His studio was a noted social center, and was visited by many people from all parts of the country.

paragraph: In 1855, Champney became a founder of the Boston Art Club, and, in 1856, its president.

paragraph: On August 4, 1888, "The White Mountain Echo" reported: "Champney's studio is as much visited as ever this summer, and there are many new pictures to see. Of the landscapes, there is a view from the new carriage road up "Humphrey's Ledge" that is beautiful, and another a scene in "Crawford Notch", and still another, a picture of "Mount Chocorua" from Tamworth; there are some lovely new flower pieces ... But perhaps the very prettiest is the old-fashioned pitcher in the kitchen window ..."

paragraph: Section::::Later life.

paragraph: In 1900, he published an autobiography, "Sixty Years' Memories of Art and Artists".

paragraph: Champney died in Woburn, Massachusetts on December 11, 1907.

paragraph: Section::::Where to view his works.

paragraph: Examples of his paintings can be viewed today at the New Hampshire Historical Society in Concord, New Hampshire the Currier Museum of Art in Manchester, New Hampshire and the Museum of the White Mountains at Plymouth State University in Plymouth, New Hampshire.

paragraph: Section::::Champney Place, Boston.

paragraph: In recognition of his unique and lasting contribution to the arts and culture of Boston, a gaslit cobblestone alley is named in his honor in the historic Beacon Hill neighborhood of Boston.

paragraph: Kir Bulychev

paragraph: Kir Bulychev (; 18 October 1934 – 5 September 2003) was a pen name of Igor Vsevolodovich Mozheiko (И́горь Все́володович Може́йко), a Soviet Russian science fiction writer and historian. His magnum opus is a children's science fiction series "Alisa Selezneva", although most of his books are adult-oriented. His books were adapted for film, TV and animation over 20 times – more than any other Russian science fiction author – and Bulychev himself wrote scripts for early adaptations.

paragraph: Section::::Biography.

paragraph: Mozheiko received a Master's degree in 1965 and a Ph.D. in 1981. From 1963 he worked in the Institute of Oriental Studies of the USSR Academy of Sciences. He was a specialist in the medieval history of Burma, and wrote a biography of Aung San.

paragraph: He first used the pseudonym Kir Bulychev in 1965, for his very first science fiction story, "A Girl Nothing Can Happen To". It was the first in what would become his most popular book series, "Alisa Selezneva", that eventually comprised more than 50 novellas and short stories. This children's science fiction series is centered around the titular heroine, a teenage girl from the future, who travels through space and time, solves mysteries, makes discoveries and saves endangered peoples and species. Bulychov kept writing "Alisa" for the rest of his life: the last book appeared in 2003, months before his death. There were four animated and three life-action adaptations of "Alisa" stories, as well as tie-in comics and video games.

paragraph: Another of Bulychev's best-known works is a series of short stories about Veliky Guslar, a Russian town that attracts all kinds of aliens and supernatural beings. This fictional city is based on the real city of Veliky Ustyug. He also wrote many standalone science fiction novels, including "The Last War" (1970), "Thirteen Years of Travel", "Those Who Survive" (adapted as the animated film "Pereval"), "The Witches Cave" (filmed), "River Chronos" and "Abduction of the Wizard".

paragraph: Bulychev wrote scripts for more than 20 movies: according to "Mir Fantastiki" magazine, he is the most adapted Russian science fiction author. Besides his own writing, he translated numerous American science fiction stories into Russian.

paragraph: Hope Sandoval

paragraph: Hope Sandoval (born June 24, 1966) is an American singer-songwriter who is the lead singer of Mazzy Star and Hope Sandoval & the Warm Inventions. Sandoval has toured and collaborated with other artists, including Massive Attack, for whom she sang "Paradise Circus" on the 2010 album "Heligoland," and "The Spoils" on the 2016 eponymous single.

paragraph: Section::::Early life.

paragraph: Hope Sandoval grew up in a Mexican-American family in East Los Angeles, California. She attended Mark Keppel High School. In 1986, she formed the folk music duo Going Home with Sylvia Gomez and sent a demo tape to David Roback. He contacted the duo and suggested that he would "play guitar for you guys". The material recorded by Gomez, Sandoval and Roback has yet to be released.

paragraph: Section::::Career.

paragraph: Section::::Career.:Opal and Mazzy Star (1988–96).

paragraph: Sandoval performed with the band Opal in the late 1980s alongside David Roback and long-time Roback collaborator Kendra Smith. After Smith's abrupt departure during a tour of the UK (hurling her guitar to the floor at the Hammersmith gig), Sandoval took over lead vocals. At the end of the tour, Roback and Sandoval began writing together and formed the alternative rock band Mazzy Star.

paragraph: The first Mazzy Star album, "She Hangs Brightly", was released in 1990. While not a commercial success, this album did establish Mazzy Star as a band with a unique sound.

paragraph: The band had a surprise breakthrough hit single released in October 1993. "Fade into You" – from its second album "So Tonight That I Might See" – was recorded one year before it became a success.

paragraph: There is a continuity between the sounds and moods established on Mazzy Star's first two albums and its third, "Among My Swan". Mazzy Star went on hiatus in 1997.

paragraph: Sandoval formed The Warm Inventions in 2000 and released her first solo album "Bavarian Fruit Bread" in 2001, which she recorded with My Bloody Valentine drummer Colm Ó Cíosóig. The album differed in terms of theme, voice, and instrumentation from that of her work with Mazzy Star. Bert Jansch plays guitar on two tracks, and the album features two covers, "Butterfly Mornings" from the film "The Ballad of Cable Hogue" (1970) and Jesus and Mary Chain's "Drop". The Warm Inventions released two EPs, "At the Doorway Again" in 2000 and "Suzanne" in 2002 but did not win commercial success, with one video on MTV and little radio play. Sandoval recorded a song, "Wild Roses", for a compilation CD released by Air France, "In the Air" (2008).

paragraph: Hope Sandoval and The Warm Inventions released their second album, "Through the Devil Softly", on September 29, 2009.

paragraph: Sandoval and her band were chosen by Matt Groening to perform at the edition of the All Tomorrow's Parties festival he curated in May 2010 in Minehead, England. The group also played the ATP New York 2010 music festival in Monticello, New York in September 2010 at the request of film director Jim Jarmusch.

paragraph: Section::::Career.:Mazzy Star reformation (2011–14).

paragraph: In 2009, Sandoval confirmed in an interview with "Rolling Stone" that Mazzy Star was still active: "It's true we're still together. We're almost finished [with the record]. But I have no idea what that means." In October 2011, the group released the single "Common Burn"/"Lay Myself Down", their first material in 15 years. The group stated that they had plans to release the album in 2012. In July 2013, "California", the first single from the new album was released. The album, "Seasons of Your Day", was released in September 2013.

paragraph: Section::::Career.:Renewed solo activity (2016–present).

paragraph: On March 9, 2016, it was confirmed that Hope Sandoval & The Warm Inventions would release a 7" vinyl single titled "Isn't It True" for Record Store Day 2016. The track also features Jim Putnam of Radar Bros. A music video for the song was released on April 19, and is dedicated to Richie Lee of Acetone. The Warm Inventions' third studio album, "Until the Hunter", was released on November 4 through the band's own independent record label, Tendril Tales. A second single from the album, "Let Me Get There" featuring Kurt Vile, was released on September 23.

paragraph: Sandoval contributed vocals to "I Don't Mind" by Psychic Ills, which was released on March 29.

paragraph: A. J. Casson

paragraph: Alfred Joseph Casson, (May 17, 1898 – February 20, 1992) was a member of the Canadian group of artists known as the Group of Seven. He joined the group in 1926 at the invitation of Franklin Carmichael. Casson is best known for his depictions of landscapes, forests and farms of southern Ontario, and for being the youngest member of the Group of Seven.

paragraph: Section::::Biography.

paragraph: Alfred was born in Toronto, Ontario, in 1898 to an English Quaker father and a Canadian mother. At age 9 he moved to Guelph and to Hamilton at age 14. The first exposure he had to art was at Hamilton Technical School, where he was asked by his teacher to demonstrate for the class. His father sent him to work at age 15 as an apprentice at a Hamilton lithography company. In 1915 the family moved back to Toronto. At the same time as working, he attended evening classes at Central Technical School. The first public exhibition of his work was at the Canadian National Exhibition, in 1917. He was hired by the commercial art/ engravers firm Brigden's, owned by George and Fredrick Brigden (brothers).

paragraph: In 1919 Casson moved to Rous and Mann where he was influenced by and assistant to Group of Seven member Franklin Carmichael to sketch and paint on his own. Carmichael and Casson then moved on to the first Canadian silkscreen printing firm, Sampson, Matthews Ltd, founded by artist J. E. Sampson and businessman C. A. G. Matthews. Carmichael introduced Casson to The Arts and Letters Club of Toronto, where he met many well-known artists, including other Group of Seven members.

paragraph: During the 1920s, Casson continued to paint during his spare time alone and with the Group of Seven. Alfred enjoyed watercolour and in 1925 along with Carmichael and F. H. Brigden (Fredrick), founded the Canadian Society of Painters in Water Colour. After Frank Johnston, a Group of Seven member, left the group in 1921, Casson seemed like an appropriate replacement. Later in 1926, he was invited by Carmichael to become member of the Group of Seven. In the same year he also became an associate member of the most conservative Royal Canadian Academy. He and Carmichael left Rous and Mann Ltd. in 1926 to join Sampson Matthews . After Carmichael left in 1932 to teach at the Ontario College of Art, Casson became their Art Director and later their vice-president in 1946. In 1952, he was elected into the National Academy of Design as an Honorary Corresponding member.

paragraph: In 1924 Casson married Margaret Petry. His father died shortly after his marriage, and he had to take care of and support his widowed mother. After the ending of the Group of Seven in 1932, he co-founded the Canadian Group of Painters in 1933. Several members of the Group of Seven later became members of the Canadian Group of Painters including Lawren Harris, Arthur Lismer, A. Y. Jackson, and Franklin Carmichael.

paragraph: Casson developed a painting style with clear colours and background designs. Alfred "retired" in 1957 at age 60, to paint full-time.

paragraph: A. J. Casson died in 1992, just three months short of his 94th birthday, and is buried on the grounds of the McMichael Canadian Art Collection, along with six other Group of Seven members.

paragraph: Section::::Works.

paragraph: A privately owned work of A. J. Casson's appeared on the May 26, 2008, airing of PBS's "Antiques Roadshow." According to the owner, the painting was given to her grandfather by Casson, his friend and neighbor at the time. The work appraised in the $25,000 to $35,000 range. In 1954 he was one of eighteen Canadian artists commissioned by the Canadian Pacific Railway to paint a mural for the interior of one of the new Park cars entering service on the new "Canadian" transcontinental train. Each mural depicted a different national or provincial park; Casson's was Algonquin Provincial Park.

paragraph: A large oil on canvas by the Group of Seven's A. J. Casson, "Street in Glen Williams", sold for a record $542,800, including buyer's premium on June 1, 2010. The Casson – a leafy, autumnal portrait of Glen Williams, a small town near Toronto – carried a pre-sale estimate of $200,000–$250,000, the highest such valuation ever accorded a Casson canvas.

paragraph: Canadian art critic and historian Paul Duval wrote in 1980, ""Street in Glen Williams" is unquestionably his key autumn portrayal." Bidding for "Street in Glen Williams" began at $180,000, then bounded in increments of $10,000, then $20,000 before reaching its hammer price of $460,000. The clinching bid came from a western Canadian buyer. The previous record for a Casson, $489,100, including premium, was also set by Joyner, in May 2005.

paragraph: On Wednesday, November 23rd, 2016, A.J. Casson's "Gathering Storm" sold for $1,534,000 CDN (premium included). The highest amount paid for a Casson painting, to date.

paragraph: Joan Gideon Loten

paragraph: Joan Gideon Loten (also spelt Johan or John) (16 May 1710 – 25 February 1789) was a Dutch servant in the colonies of the Dutch East India Company, the 29th Governor of Zeylan, Fellow of the Royal Society (elected 1760) and Fellow of the Society of Antiquaries of London (elected 1761). During his time in the colonies he made collections of natural history. In 1758 he moved to Holland. Nine months after his return from the Dutch East Indies he moved to London, where he lived for 22 years and interacted with scholarly societies and shared his natural history illustrations and collections.

paragraph: Section::::Career.

paragraph: Section::::Career.:Early years.

paragraph: Joan Gideon Loten, born in Groenekan, near Utrecht he was the eldest son of secretary of the waterboard Joan Carel Loten (1669–1769) and Arnoldina Maria van Aerssen van Juchen (1685–1775). The Loten family originally came from the Southern Netherlands. Circa 1720 Loten lived with his parents and younger brother Arnout (1719–1801) in Utrecht. In 1726 he was a student of the Utrecht University. One of his teachers was Pieter van Musschenbroek. In March 1728 he left University and became a clerk of the Amsterdam Chamber of the Dutch East India Company. By means of patronage of members of his family Loten was appointed junior merchant of the Company in 1731.

paragraph: Section::::Career.:Servant in the Dutch East Indies.

paragraph: In January 1732 he left the Dutch Republic with the East India man Beekvliet and headed to Batavia (Jakarta). On 25 August 1733 he married Anna Henriette van Beaumont (1716–1755), a member of a prominent family in Batavia (for example, her uncle Isaak Augustijn Rumpf had been Governor of Dutch Ceylon from 1716 to 1723). Eleven years later he was elected Governor of Makassar (Ujung Pandang) (1744–1750) and in 1752 he became himself Governor of Ceylon (1752–1757). In 1749 he was elected Councillor of the Dutch East Indies and thus obtained a seat in the government of the Dutch East India Company at Batavia. He was a capable administrator. He was usually respectful of the native population and did not exercise immoderate forms of supremacy. There is nothing to indicate that he pursued personal wealth by means considered improper or ruthless by his contemporaries. Although he was successful in the Dutch East Indies, in later years he became embittered against the Company and the way the Court of directors in Amsterdam and the Government at Batavia treated its former servants.

paragraph: Section::::Career.:Back to Europe.

paragraph: In 1758 Loten repatriated as Admiral of the Return Fleet in the Dutch Republic. He returned to his homeland with an estimated fortune of about 700,000 Dutch guilders. Part of this East Indian fortune came from private trading and emoluments resulting from his offices. The majority of his Indian capital came from the legacy of Nathanael Steinmetz, a former governor and director of Amboyna. The capital afforded Loten financial independence during the rest of his life. Once he returned to the Dutch Republic, he felt like an outsider, excluded from the circles of the aristocratic and patrician class and estranged from his orthodox and narrow-minded Utrecht Calvinistic relatives. This led him to travel to England scarcely nine months after his return from the East Indies. Loten lived in London with several interruptions for twenty two years. The city's amusements and cosmopolitan intellectual atmosphere gave him a feeling of freedom. He was elected a Fellow of the Royal Society in 1760.

paragraph: Although his early efforts to integrate into English society suggest an inclination towards the British way of life, Loten ultimately remained a Dutchman in his tastes and sympathies. This became increasingly prominent during his stay in England. In the 1770s, his feelings towards his British acquaintances, and towards British society in general, changed. After the outbreak of the Fourth Anglo-Dutch War in 1780.In November 1781 he returned to Utrecht.

paragraph: 25 February 1789 Loten died in his house Cour de Loo at the Utrecht Drift. He was buried in the Utrechts Jacobikerk. In the London Westminster Abbey an impressive monument, made by Thomas Banks, was erected in his memory in 1795 (see illustration).

paragraph: Section::::Loten's contribution to natural history.

paragraph: Loten was well versed in the zoological, astronomical, genealogical and medical literature of his era. Loten's activities as a collector were those of a virtuoso in the sense that his interest in natural phenomena was based purely upon a fascination with exotic nature and its unique and rare components. In Engeland he came in touch with naturalists in the just founded British Museum. He donated watercolours, stuffed birds and mineral stones to the British Museum. Joseph Banks was in Londen Loten's neighbour. Joseph Banks, the later President of the Royal Society, accompanied Captain James Cook as a private naturalist on HMS Endeavour (1768–1771). Thanks to Banks, the gentleman naturalist Thomas Pennant and 'the father of British ornithology' George Edwards, Loten's natural history collection was copied and described in several 18th-century English natural history books.

paragraph: At present the Loten collection is preserved in the London Natural History Museum, British Library, Teylers Museum in Haarlem, Rijksprentenkabinet in Amsterdam and Nationaal Archief in The Hague. Documents concerning his colonial career are in the national archive in the Hague. Personal memoirs and letters are dispersed over various collections in England and the Netherlands.

paragraph: Lawton C. Johnson

paragraph: Lawton Corbin Johnson, Jr. (August 6, 1937 – September 14, 2009) was a New Jersey-based educator and administrator notable for his hard work, devotion to excellence and long term of service at the Summit Public Schools. During 47 years, he never missed one day of work. In 2004, the middle school was named "Lawton C. Johnson Summit Middle School" in his honor.

paragraph: Section::::Career.

paragraph: Johnson was born in Summit, New Jersey and studied piano under instructor Capitola Dickerson. Right after graduation from Summit High School, he began working at what was then called Summit Junior high school, rising to office manager, and continued working until retiring in August 2007. While a student, he was part-time office assistant from 1954 through 1956; after graduation, he became school secretary in 1956. In 1962 he became Office Manager. During his 52+ year career he worked for six school superintendents: Roberts Reed, Roland Wolcott (interim), William Purcell, Robert Salisbury, Richard Fiander, and Michael Knowlton, and six Summit Middle School principals: Robert Woodward, Charles Kemper, Donald DeBanico, Joseph Czarnecki, Gerard Murphy, and Theodore Stanik. He did extensive volunteer work for numerous school-related committees, events planning groups, YMCA boards, communications groups, civic groups, newspaper editing, and other charitable activities. He was elected "Young Man of the Year" in 1961 by Summit Area Junior Chamber of Commerce and he was named in the 1965 edition of "Outstanding Young Men in America".

paragraph: Johnson was known for his "positive attitude" and "friendly demeanor" and "willingness to go the extra mile to help someone in need of assistance" according to Summit Middle School principal Matt Block in 2009. "No favor was too great, and no task was too small ... He embodied dedication and hard work by being the first one to arrive to school each morning and the last one to go home each evening, sometimes working through the weekend, if necessary, in order to get the job done. Amazingly, for 47 of his 52 years, Mr. Johnson did not miss one day of work." Johnson received the Dr. Martin Luther King Jr. "Day of Service Keeper of the Dream Award" and the Tri-City Branch NAACP "Community Service Award". In October 2007, Summit Mayor Jordan Glatt proclaimed Oct. 2, 2007, as "Lawton C. Johnson Appreciation Day" in recognition of his years of outstanding service to the city, the middle school and to the church.

paragraph: In 2004, the Summit Board of Education decided to rename the middle school in Johnson's honor.

paragraph: Former Summit middle school principal Ted Stanik said one of Johnson's great joys after the school's renaming was answering the phone, ""Lawton C. Johnson Summit Middle School". This is Lawton C. Johnson," Stanik said, "It brought a smile to his face every time he did it." Most of Summit's schools are named after founding fathers. The middle school's renaming was a first for the city—an honor never before given an employee.

paragraph: Johnson was described as a "gifted, remarkable, compassionate and uniquely talented person," according to Reverend Denison D. Harrield, Jr., who first approached the Summit Board of Education with the idea of renaming the middle school after Johnson. "He touched the lives of so many people." He died on September 14, 2009, after a long struggle with cancer.

paragraph: Kučuk-Alija

paragraph: Kučuk-Alija (, ; 1801 – 5 August 1804) was a janissary, "mutesellim" of Kragujevac and one of four Dahiyas (leaders of rebel janissarys) who controlled the Sanjak of Smederevo (aka "Belgrade Pashalik") in the period between 15 December 1801 (when he killed Belgrade's vizier Hadži Mustafa Pasha) and the beginning of the First Serbian Uprising in Spring 1804. He was a brother of Sali Aga, a mutesellim of Rudnik Ottoman nahiyah at the beginning of 19th century.

paragraph: Section::::Biography.

paragraph: Alija was born in the Rudnik nahija and belonged to the Đevrlić family. He advanced in Ottoman service from regular janissary to the position of mutesellim of Kragujevac. Recruited from the local Muslim population, he was a Yamak.

paragraph: Together with other renegade janissaries, Alija captured Hadži Mustafa Pasha, the Vizier of Belgrade, in October 1801 and killed him on 15 December 1801 in the Belgrade Fortress. After the murder, Alija became one of four leaders, known as "dahije", who ruled the Sanjak of Smederevo (also known as the Belgrade Pashalik), alongside Aganlija, Mula Jusuf and Mehmed-aga Fočić. His wife was the sister of one of his military commanders.

paragraph: In early March 1804, at the beginning of the First Serbian Uprising, rebels besieged Rudnik which was under control of Sali Aga, Kuchuk's brother. When four dahiyahs were informed about the rebellion they agreed that Kuchuk Ali should go from Belgrade to Rudnik with 600 janissaries to release Rudnik from siege and to advance with his forces to Šabac through Valjevo, while Belgrade was left under protection of three remaining dahiyahs. According to some sources Kuchuk Ali had intention to first go to Kragujevac to gather more forces then to Jagodina to hire Halil Gušanac and his Arnauts and then to attack rebels. Gušanac with 1,600 Arnauts and Krdžalijas were sent by Osman Pazvantoğlu to help dahiyah in suppressing the rebellion.

paragraph: When Kuchuk Ali advanced toward south he did not have information that rebels already captured Rudnik on 11 March. He attacked Karađorđe who was with Janko Katić and around hundred rebels in Vrbica, waiting for other rebels to join them. Kuchuk Ali was informed about Karađorđe's position by knez Maksim from Guberevac who was later killed by the rebels because of his treason. Karađorđe and his forces fled from the battle. After battle in Vrbica Kuchuk Ali and his horsemen continued their journey through Šumadija and reached Ćuprija and Jagodina via Kragujevac on 15 March 1804. The rebels followed him and captured Kragujevac on 4 April 1804 after Kuchuk Ali already left it, taking 200 janissaries from Kragujevac with him.

paragraph: The rebels attacked Kuchuk's forces near Avala and inflicted significant casualties to them.

paragraph: Kučuk Alija and other dahiyas fled from Belgrade abandoning their followers and went by boats to Ada Kaleh island on the Danube. The rebel forces led by Milenko Stojković soon captured and executed them, with full knowledge and approval of the Ottoman authorities. Their bodies were decapitated and their heads (without head of Aganlija which was mistakenly dropped into Danube) were taken to the rebel camp on Vračar in Belgrade.

paragraph: Stefan Themerson

paragraph: Stefan Themerson (25 January 1910 – 6 September 1988) was a Polish, later British poet, novelist, filmmaker, composer and philosopher.

paragraph: Section::::Early life.

paragraph: Stefan Themerson was born in Płock in what was then part of the Russian Empire on 25 January 1910 and died in London on 6 September 1988.

paragraph: His father, Mieczysław Themerson, was a physician, social reformer and aspiring writer (some of his work was published) of Jewish descent. His mother was Ludwika Smulewicz. During the First World War Dr. Themerson served as a medical officer in the Tsar's army and the family lived in Riga, St. Petersburg and Velikiye Luki. In 1918 they returned to Płock, in an independent Poland, where Stefan attended the Władysław Jagiełło Gymnasium. During this time he first showed an interest in photography and also built a radio receiver. Stefan's older brother, Roman, also qualified as a doctor, but died of spinal tuberculosis in 1929.

paragraph: In 1928 Themerson went to Warsaw University to study physics. After a year, he transferred to the Warsaw Polytechnic to take up architecture, but spent most of his time working at photography, collage and film-making. His first published piece of writing was also in 1928. He never formally left his studies but gradually withdrew to follow his other interests. Themerson met the art student Franciszka Weinles, in 1929. She graduated with distinction in 1931 and they married the same year in Warsaw.

paragraph: Section::::1931 to 1935.

paragraph: During these years the Themersons lived and worked in Warsaw. Stefan contributed articles to various periodicals and prose and verse to school textbooks and wrote at least ten books for children which Franciszka illustrated. "Pan Tom Buduje Dom", "Mr Rouse Builds His House" is still in print in Poland. Stefan also experimented with photograms and the two of them made five short experimental films "Apteka" ("The Pharmacy") (1930), "Europa" (1931–1932), "Drobiazg Melodyjny" ("Musical Moment") (1933), "Zwarcie" ("Short Circuit") (1935) and "Przygoda Człowieka Poczciwego" ("The Adventures of a Good Citizen") (1937). These were shown with other experimental films of the time. All except "Przygoda Człowieka Poczciwego", which remained in Warsaw, were lost in Paris in the Second World War, but the script for "Europa", based on a poem by Anatol Stern was later published by the Themersons' "Gaberbocchus Press", illustrated by surviving stills from the film and "Apteka" and "Drobiazg melodyjny" were remade by Bruce Checefsky from descriptions of them when they first appeared, stills and storyboards. In 1935, with other young filmmakers, they founded a cooperative, "S.A.F", "Spółdzielnia Autorów Filmowych".

paragraph: Section::::1936 to 1939.

paragraph: In 1936 and 1937 the Themersons visited Paris, then the centre of the world for avant-garde art, and London, meeting Moholy-Nagy and other experimental artists and arranged first screenings of French and English avant-garde films on their return to Warsaw. They also founded a review "Film Artistique", Stefan as editor, Franciszka as artistic editor (the journal of the film-makers' co-operative). Two issues were published, one on the French avant-garde, one on recent English film. A third issue, on the Polish Avant-garde, was planned but remained unpublished when, in the winter of 1937-38 they moved to Paris: "I just knew I had to be in Paris." Themerson said. Here they found a circle of artists and writers, many Polish, among whom to live and move. Themerson wrote for various Polish publications in Paris; Franciszka started to paint, and illustrated children's books for Flammarion. They planned to stay there, but - as for most of their generation - the outbreak of World War II changed their lives. With the declaration of war in 1939, the Themersons both enlisted, Stefan joined the Polish army forming in France after the German and Soviet invasions and division of Poland; Franciszka was seconded to the Polish government-in-exile as a cartographer, first in France then from 1940 in London after the fall of France.

paragraph: Section::::Second World War and after.

paragraph: In 1940 Themerson volunteered for a Polish infantry regiment in France, just in time for the German invasion and the Allies' collapse. His memory was of marching day and night in the summer heat to St-Nazaire. There, in June, the regiment was disbanded, the officers abandoning their men and the men dispersing where they could. Themerson travelled inside France, first returning (on foot) to occupied Paris, then on to Toulouse, where, through the Polish Red Cross, he re-established contact with Franciszka. She had been working for the Polish Government in Exile as a cartographer in Paris and Normandy and had subsequently escaped to London on a troopship from Bayonne. Meanwhile, he spent time in refugee camps, worked as a farm labourer, and spent nearly two years in a Polish Red Cross hostel, the Hôtel de la Poste in Voiron. Here he began writing "Professor Mmaa's Lecture" in Polish and wrote the long poem in French "Croquis dans les Ténèbres" ("Sketches in Darkness"). Much of their sporadic correspondence from the years 1940-42 concerned attempts to engineer Stefan's escape from France.

paragraph: Towards the end of 1942 Themerson got across France via Marseille and Spain to Lisbon whence he was flown to Britain by the R.A.F., rejoining his wife and re-enlisting in the Polish army. He spent time with the army in Scotland, where he finished "Professor Mmaa", and then was sent to join the film unit of the Polish Ministry of Information and Documentation in London. There he and Franciszka made two further short films, "Calling Mr Smith", an account of Nazi atrocities in Poland and "The Eye and the Ear", inspired by four Julian Tuwim songs set to music by Szymanowski. In 1944 at the PEN club meeting to celebrate the three hundredth anniversary of John Milton's "Areopagitica", Themerson met Kurt Schwitters, who became a close friend until Schwitters' death in 1948. At about the same time he met others who remained close, including Jankel Adler, Julian Trevelyan and Anthony Froshaug. Also in 1944 the Themersons moved to Maida Vale, where they lived for the rest of their lives. A close neighbour was the experimental poet and publisher Bob Cobbing with whom the Themersons kept close relations.

paragraph: Stefan and Franciszka Themerson published many of their own works through their own Gaberbocchus Press from 1948 to 1979. Most were designed by Franciszka, and many included her illustrations. They also worked with the translators Barbara Wright and Stanley Chapman, and the artist Gwen Barnard. Their list of some 70 titles included works by Guillaume Apollinaire, Jankel Adler and Kurt Schwitters, the first English translation of Alfred Jarry's "Ubu Roi", Raymond Queneau's "Exercises in Style" and "The Good Citizen's Alphabet" by Bertrand Russell. The latter wrote an encouraging preface to "Professor Mmaa’s Lecture". Stefan was the inventor of Semantic Poetry (see his 1945 novel "Bayamus", and his 1975 tract "On Semantic Poetry"), and he wrote an opera, 'St. Francis and the Wolf of Gubbio' (1972). In 1981, Themerson delivered the annual Huizinga Lecture in Leiden in the Netherlands, under the title "The Chair of Decency". He died in London a few weeks after the death of his wife, in 1988.

paragraph: In 1979, the Gaberbocchus Press was taken over by Dutch publisher De Harmonie, at Themerson's invitation. They maintain the press's archive as well. It was through this Dutch connection that some of his novels gained recognition in the English-reading world; in 1985, Dutch publisher De Bezige Bij published a translation of an English manuscript, which they titled "Euclid was an Ass" (Dutch: Euclides was een ezel"). This book was read by someone with connections at Faber and Faber, which in turn published the book in English, now called "The Mystery of the Sardine" (1986), and his last novel "Hobson's Island" (1988). These two novels and the earlier "Tom Harris" were later republished by Dalkey Archive Press.

paragraph: Mario Paci

paragraph: Mario Paci (June 4, 1878 – August 3, 1946), also known by his Chinese name Mei Baiqi (), was an Italian pianist and conductor who was instrumental in establishing classical European music in China.

paragraph: Section::::Life.

paragraph: Paci was born in Florence. He attended the Naples Conservatory and in 1895 won the Franz Liszt Prize. Afterwards, he undertook extended tours across all of Europe. Through the support of Giacomo Puccini, he was able to study composition and conducting at the Milan Conservatory.

paragraph: In December 1918, Paci went to Shanghai to perform at the Olympic Theater. He was hospitalized after falling ill, and ended up deciding to stay in Shanghai. In 1919, he took the leadership of the predecessor of Shanghai Symphony Orchestra, the oldest symphony orchestra in Asia, which had been founded in 1879 as a military wind band. Paci succeeded in having the orchestra grow from 22 to 37 members and gave the first symphonic concert in Asia on November 23, 1919. On the program was Beethoven's fifth symphony, the serenade for strings "In the Far West" by Granville Bantock, and Edvard Grieg's Peer Gynt Suite No. 1.

paragraph: In 1922 the orchestra was renamed the Shanghai Municipal Council Symphony Orchestra. Initially, the audience was composed of foreigners living in Shanghai, who numbered about 20,000; at this time Chinese were not permitted to attend the concerts. Persistent pleas by Paci to the officials led to the loosening of these restrictions. This also applied to the orchestra itself, which originally was composed exclusively of foreigners, but later incorporated Chinese musicians.

paragraph: Paci's support also contributed to the founding of the National Special School for Music (國立上海音樂專科學校), which was renamed the Shanghai Conservatory in 1956. This school, established by Cai Yuanpei and Xiao Youmei, was the first conservatory in Asia. Among the teachers there who were also members of the orchestra was the German composer Wolfgang Fraenkel (1897-1983), who fled Germany in 1938, and violinist Tan Shuzhen.

paragraph: A high point in the history of the orchestra was the Chinese premiere of Beethoven's ninth symphony on April 14, 1936, under the direction of Paci; by this point many Chinese were in the orchestra, although they were not among the singers.

paragraph: After Japanese invaded China in 1937 and the beginning of the Second World War, the situation for the orchestra became more severe. Paci was forced to dissolve the orchestra after giving his final performance on May 31, 1942. It was reestablished in October 1950, four years after Paci died in Shanghai.

paragraph: Paci trained some of China's first pianists, including Fou Ts'ong, Wu Yili, Wu Leyi 吴乐懿, Zhu Gongyi 朱工一, and Zhou Guangren 周广仁.
