paragraph: Funkefeller

paragraph: Daniel Douglas Orlando (born May 29, 1981), also known as Funkefeller, is an Electro House producer from Phoenix, Arizona. Funkefeller has a computer science background and portrays the Funkefeller identity as a mad scientist. When playing live, Funkefeller can be found in full costume with an extensive amount of gear on stage. His shows are combined with a large plethora of visual effects that seem to have come from a science lab gone haywire.

paragraph: Section::::History.

paragraph: Daniel Douglas Orlando began his music career at the age of 4 years old. His father, Douglas Orlando, gave him piano lessons for many years. As a child, he was very hyperactive, so sitting through the piano lessons was difficult for him. Nonetheless, Orlando enjoyed most of his days growing up playing in his father's music studio. His favorite gear to play on was the ARP 2600, programmable Yamaha DX7, 1957 Fender Rhodes, among other keyboards and gear. He also enjoyed playing with his father's 4-track cassette recorder where he and his father would record him singing and playing the piano. At age 8, Orlando remembers spending much of his time playing around with sounds on the DX7 and recording on the Commodore 64 in Cakewalk Pro Audio 8. Once he was 12 years old, Orlando became interested in other instruments. This is when he picked up his first guitar, a Fender Squier. For the next 10 years of his life, he would sit in his bedroom day after day practicing and learning every song imaginable. He never took lessons, but rather taught himself how to play. He figured out how to play songs simply by listening to them, where he would be able to hear the track and play it back, a talent that he attributes to his Father.

paragraph: Orlando's first band, Oblisque, was formed when he was 14 years old. In this band, he played the guitar and sometimes the bass, but later moved on to do the vocals exclusively with the band. The band was hard rock and heavy metal, spending most of their time playing music by Rage Against The Machine, The Deftones, Korn, Metallica, and Pantera. Oblisque played mostly at parties around the northwest suburbs of Chicago because they were too young still to play at night clubs and bars. Soon, Orlando took his music to a whole new level when he formed the band Fixation 29 with a very talented drummer he met named Corky Via. Their musical talents and high-strung Italian personalities made them click almost immediately. For a while, the band was composed solely of these two artists, but soon two more members joined the group. Dennis Quijano played the bass and Paul Postelnik was the lead guitarist. Orlando was the vocalist and rhythm guitarist for the group, and wrote most of the music. After the band was together for about a year, Orlando's father introduced the group to Michael Angelo Batio, owner of record label M.A.C.E Music. Batio thought Fixation 29 was a very talented band so they were brought into the studio where they recorded their first EP. Fixation 29 began playing many shows and opening up for artists such as The Bloodhound Gang. Fixation 29's fame skyrocketed right around the same time that he was graduating high school. When it was time for the band to go on tour, Orlando ended up having to choose between going to college or going on tour. The band meant a lot to him, but he knew that he needed to go to college.

paragraph: Orlando was devastated by the breakup of Fixation 29 and drowning himself in his own music was his way of coping with it. He spent every waking moment of his years. He took many music courses in college, but during this time of focusing intensely on his production skills, he took them to a whole new extreme. He attended a community college his first year, and would sometimes go 4 days straight with no sleep in his father's studio producing music. During this time, he produced many different genres such as metal, pop, alternative and electronic music.

paragraph: When Orlando left home to attend Illinois State University, others would be dissecting frogs and learning the periodic table while he would be sitting as his desk with a book of blank staff paper writing music scores for a multitude of instruments. He knew he wanted to be part of the Digital Arts Technology program at Illinois State University, but knew it was extremely hard to get into. Musical and technical skills were a must because the program was still being developed and the students who admitted into the program were required to assist the instructors in developing their course curriculum. He applied for the program and was accepted immediately. Orlando enjoyed working so closely with the prestigious Professors that came from the well-respected departments of Theatre, Art, and Music at Illinois State University.

paragraph: Every March, there was a dance competition between the fraternities and the sororities called March Madness, which was one of the biggest events at the University. His first year, Orlando put together the dance numbers for the first and second-place winners for the sororities. On the fraternity side, Orlando constructed the dance number for his fraternity, the Theta Rho chapter of Sigma Chi, who went on to win second place at the event. It is no surprise then, that his following two years, he was constructing a large majority of the music numbers for the event, which sometimes reached as many as 20,000 attendees. This was a big accomplishment for him and was the beginning of his focus on electronic dance music. Orlando was a DJ for a number of large underground parties during this time. During his Junior year, he became a DJ for the local radio station, WZND Normal-Bloomington. After Orlando graduated from Illinois State University in 2003, he moved to Arizona to follow his family who had recently moved as the result of his father's job relocation.

paragraph: Once Orlando had relocated to Arizona, he got into small business entrepreneurship and software programming. He began teaching himself various computer programming languages and started a web application development company called Vision Media Group with his partner Jeff Sandrini, whom he met at a conference in California. During this time, he had taken a break from music to focus on branding himself as an expert in the field of Information Technology and Software Development. After a few years of this, he found himself drawn back to making music when building computers and programming software started to become less interesting to him. There was a lot of stress and intensity involved with his work running software and web development companies, so he knew that getting back into his musical passion would help to relieve some of that stress. His life as a software programmer began to take off around this time however, so he moved into a large two bedroom apartment and transformed one of the bedrooms into a professional acoustically treated recording studio. He started buying an immense amount of gear for the studio and soon after decided to start a record label called Sonic Masterworks.

paragraph: Orlando was educated enough about the music industry to start a record label and knew that at this point in his life, it was the logical thing to do. He wanted all of his music that he produced to run on his record label where it would be protected. Having other artists on this record label is very important to Orlando and he continues to strive to build a big label. The logo for Sonic Masterworks was created by Jeff Sandrini and almost all of the ideas for the company were populated within a short 2 hour time-span. Artists that currently have tracks signed to Sonic Masterworks include but are not limited to Funkefeller, Spy VZ Spy, Silent J, Constantine, Switchup, Jason Camiolo, Steph, DJ A-Ros and Miss Krystle.

paragraph: Orlando and Sandrini spent multiple days going through various potential artist names. Orlando wanted his artist name to be somewhat symbolic of Chicago and soon he and Sandrini of Rockefeller Center. Orlando read John D. Rockefeller's life story and knew that Rockefeller was someone that Orlando aspired to be like for the contributions that John D. Rockefeller made during his life. Orlando felt that Rockefeller represented something very significant for him. He put his own spin on the name by replacing “Rock” with “Funk”, which identified with his funky style of electronic music that he was creating. “The name Funkefeller just feels like me,” Orlando stated in an interview that was conducted.

paragraph: Funkefeller released his first album entitled “FUNKED UP” on his birthday, May 29, 2010 and his second album entitled “Filthy” was released on Sandrini's birthday, September 11, 2010. The tracks from these two albums were retracted once Sonic Masterworks signed a distribution deal with Acuna Digital, to be released later under a second alias that Orlando would develop, named Switchup. He had also released two singles, “Bounce” and “Rock This”, which also got retracted. The SUPER TOXIC EP was Funkefeller's first official release on Sonic Masterworks that was distributed by Acuna Digital and sold all around the world. THE UNKNOWN, a three track single was released soon after, which features vocals by Steph and a remix produced by Jason Camiolo.

paragraph: The mad scientist identity came into place right around the same time as the creation of SUPER TOXIC. When Funkefeller came across a drawing of a mad scientist, it triggered his memories of people who had often referred to him as a computer scientist. He felt that the mad scientist identity fit him well as he is very eccentric, off-the-wall, and not your typical computer scientist. When in the studio, Orlando comes up with crazy creations, almost like being in an actual science lab. His sister, the marketing communications manager at Sonic Masterworks, helped him to build the identity and branding Funkefeller. Orlando created the Funkefeller logo together with Jeff Sandrini once his identity had been created.

paragraph: John II Orsini

paragraph: John II Orsini, also John Komnenos Doukas or Comnenus Ducas (Greek: Ἰωάννης Κομνηνός Δούκας, "Iōannēs Komnēnos Doukas", Italian: Giovanni II Orsini), was count palatine of Cephalonia from 1323 to 1324 and Despot of Epirus from 1323 to 1335.

paragraph: Section::::Life.

paragraph: John was the son of Count John I Orsini of Cephalonia by Maria, a daughter of Nikephoros I Komnenos Doukas of Epirus by Anna Palaiologina Kantakouzene. His older brother Nicholas Orsini had made himself ruler of Epirus in 1318 by murdering their maternal uncle Thomas I Komnenos Doukas. In 1323 John murdered his brother and succeeded in both Cephalonia and Epirus.

paragraph: In 1324 John's Angevin overlord, John of Gravina, stopped at Cephalonia on his way to fight the Byzantines in the Peloponnese and deposed John Orsini as count of Cephalonia, annexing the island to his own domains. Deprived from his family base, John had to conclude peace with Andronikos II Palaiologos of the Byzantine Empire and was allowed to establish his control over all of Epirus in exchange for recognizing Byzantine suzerainty. He married Anna Palaiologina, the granddaughter of Demetrios (Michael) Doukas, a son of Michael II Komnenos Doukas of Epirus, who had entered into Byzantine service. Like his brother, John joined the Eastern Orthodox Church, and was awarded the title of despotes by the Byzantine emperor.

paragraph: In 1331 John was attacked by Walter VI of Brienne, the titular duke of Athens, and a son-in-law of the Angevin Philip I of Taranto and Thamar Angelina Komnene. When Walter besieged Arta, John was forced to accept Angevin suzerainty. This situation was reversed when Walter returned to the Italian Peninsula, and in 1332 John felt strong enough to invade and annex Thessaly, which had fallen into anarchy after the death of Stephen Gabrielopoulos. John's success provoked the immediate reaction of Emperor Andronikos III Palaiologos, who asserted his control over at least the eastern portion of the region. Back in Epirus John was divided between pro-Byzantine and pro-Angevin factions among the nobility. He died suddenly in 1335, perhaps poisoned by his wife Anna.

paragraph: Section::::Family.

paragraph: By his wife Anna Palaiologina, John II Orsini had two children:

paragraph: BULLET::::- Nikephoros II Orsini, who succeeded as ruler of Epirus

paragraph: BULLET::::- Thomais Orsini, who married Simeon Uroš Palaiologos, emperor (tsar) of Serbians and Greeks, who succeeded as ruler of Epirus in 1359. Their daughter Maria married the later rulers of Epirus Thomas II Preljubović and Esau de' Buondelmonti, ruling Epirus herself after Thomas's death until Esau was made "despotes".

paragraph: Ahmose, son of Ebana

paragraph: Ahmose, son of Ebana, served in the Egyptian military under the pharaohs Ahmose I, Amenhotep I, and Thutmose I. His autobiography has survived and is intact on the wall of his tomb and has proven a valuable source of information on the late 17th Dynasty and the early 18th Dynasty of Egypt.

paragraph: Ahmose was born in the city of Nekheb, the modern El Kab. During the war to expel the Hyksos from Egypt, in the reign of Seqenenre Tao, his father enlisted in the navy. After the deaths of Tao and his son Kamose, Ahmose began to serve as a soldier under Pharaoh Ahmose I. He participated in the battle of Avaris (the Hyksos capital in the Delta), where he killed two Hyksos and was awarded the "gold of valor" twice. Ahmose was awarded slaves and other spoils by the pharaoh after Avaris was sacked.

paragraph: Ahmose also participated in the three-year siege of Sharuhen in southern Canaan for which he was rewarded. He followed his king to Nubia, where they put down three rebellions.

paragraph: Under Amenhotep I, he fought against the Nubians and was given gold and slaves for his bravery.

paragraph: During the reign of Thutmose I, Ahmose participated in a naval campaign against Nubian tribes in the Nile valley and was appointed admiral. He also followed Thutmose on a campaign against Naharin all the way to the Euphrates River.

paragraph: Ebana was the name of Ahmose's mother (and probably a very important woman); his father's name was Baba. Paheri, the grandson of Ahmose and a scribe and priest of the goddess Nekhbet and tutor to the prince Wadjmose, supervised the building of his grandfather's tomb.

paragraph: Bili Bidjocka

paragraph: Bili Bidjocka is a contemporary Cameroonian artist best known for his installations and sculptures. He was born in Douala, Cameroon, lives in France since the age of 12, and works in Paris, Brussels and New York City.

paragraph: Section::::Biography.

paragraph: In 1975, Bidjocka and his family move to Paris where he studied at the Ecole Nationale Supérieure des Beaux Arts. In 1985, he is co-founder of the Parisian underground association Les Frigos, aiming to support creative talent. Starting in 1994, as an artist and as a curator, he works on several cultural projects and in 1995 he co-founded and directed the contemporary Art Center "the Matrix Art Project" in New York, a platform of production and experimentation. Between 1998 and 2007, he supervises the Matrix Art Project contemporary art center in Brussels, where he lives in those years. In 2007, Bidjocka moves back to Paris.

paragraph: Bili Bidjocka's works consist of art installations, sculptures and conceptual projects. After a period of painting, he realizes installations adopting writing as an integral part of his work. His work acts like a puzzle, a riddle that gives the artist the answers he needs about the sense of his art. Cameroonian processions and ceremonies characterize his work, adopting metaphors to make the artist think about loss and absence, on the one hand, and about ecstasy and suspended desire, on the other.

paragraph: Bili Bidjocka has attended numerous collectives and he has shown in the Biennale of Johannesburg (1997), Havana (1997), Biennale Dakar (2000), Taipei (2004) and Venice Biennale (inside Check List - Luanda Pop, 2007 curated by Fernando Alvim and Simon Njami); he has exhibited his works in the New Museum of Contemporary Art of New York City and in the exposition Africa Remix (Düsseldorf, London, Paris, Tokyo, Johannesburg, 2005–2007).

paragraph: Section::::Works.

paragraph: Section::::Works.:L'écriture infinie.

paragraph: "L'écriture infinie" is a work of Bili Bidjocka. It aims to write the biggest collection of handwritten books of the world, because the new technologies causes the progressive extinction and replaces the handwritten writing because .

paragraph: It consist of a series of books with 6000 white pages, 104 cm long and 100 kg. The artist declares that the public is invited to write - "as it was the last thing to do before the cut of a hand". The founder act is the writing act in itself and not the reading after. Each book, once done, is packed into a linen material. The idea is that these books will be opened in the day where writing will not exist anymore.

paragraph: There is now existing 7 books of the work; one participated at the Venice Biennale inside the exhibition "Check List - Luanda Pop".

During his time in Rome, Chéron created medals of Pope Clement IX and Pope Clement X, Christina of Sweden, and Louis XIV of France (1672). In 1675 he was summoned to Paris by Louis XIV, and enrolled in the "Académie royale de peinture et de sculpture" in the subsequent year. His academy reception piece consisted of portrait medals of Charles Le Brun and others, with later work including a fine medal of Gian Lorenzo Bernini. Chéron was employed at the Medal Mint for 12 years, where he produced medals upon a wide variety of subjects and occasions. He died in Paris.

paragraph: Emmett Chapman

paragraph: Emmett Chapman (born September 28, 1936) is an American jazz musician best known as the inventor of the Chapman Stick and maker of the Chapman Stick family of instruments.

paragraph: Section::::Career.

paragraph: Chapman started his career as a guitarist, recording and performing in the late 1960s. He played with Barney Kessel and Tim Buckley before leading his own band.

paragraph: In 1969, Chapman modified his homemade nine-string "Freedom Guitar" to accommodate his "Free Hands" tapping method. Although some guitarists had done two-handed tapping with the fingers of the right hand parallel to the strings, Chapman's method used the fingers of both hands perpendicular to the strings. This culminated in the creation of the Electric Stick, which he renamed the Chapman Stick. He founded Stick Enterprises in 1974 and has made more than 6,000 instruments. He holds fourteen patents for various aspects of the Chapman Stick. During the 1970s, Chapman toured extensively to promote his music and the instrument.

paragraph: He was influenced by Barney Kessel, then John McLaughlin.

paragraph: In 1985, he released a solo album, "Parallel Galaxy". The song "Back Yard" was used in the Alan Smithee version of the 1984 film "Dune". An aesthetically modified Chapman Stick was used as the baliset musical instrument, described in the novel, and is performed by Patrick Stewart in the director's cut of the film.

paragraph: Costanzo Porta

paragraph: Costanzo Porta (1528 or 1529 – 19 May 1601) was an Italian composer of the Renaissance, and a representative of what is known today as the Venetian School. He was highly praised throughout his life both as a composer and a teacher, and had a reputation especially as an expert contrapuntist.

paragraph: Section::::Biography.

paragraph: Porta was born in Cremona. Details of his early life are slim, but he probably was educated at the Convent Porta San Luca in Cremona. Around 1550 he is thought to have studied with Adrian Willaert, who was "maestro di cappella" at St. Mark's in Venice; while he was there he met Claudio Merulo, who was also a student; they remained close friends throughout their lives. In 1552 Porta became "maestro di cappella" at Osimo Cathedral; in 1565 he took a position in Padua briefly, but took a more important position in Ravenna the next year, where he was hired to build an entirely new music practice at the cathedral. By 1580 his services were much in demand, and there was competition for him; he declined an offer from Milan, moving instead between positions in several cities. In addition he had become a renowned teacher by this time, and numerous composers of the next generation learned their contrapuntal skills from Porta. His last years were spent in Padua, and they were clearly difficult. Musical standards there began to decline, and he faced in addition the burden of ill health and the jealousy of the man who was eventually to replace him. He died in Padua. He is buried in the Basilica of Saint Anthony of Padua.

paragraph: Section::::Style.

paragraph: Most of Porta's output is sacred music, especially motets. He published at least eight books of motets, one of which is lost, as well as books of masses, introits, and a huge cycle of hymns for Vespers.

paragraph: Porta's music is even more polyphonic than that of Gombert, and he showed a liking for academic, even severe contrapuntal devices, although they are used so skillfully that the text can always be clearly understood. Often his music uses strict canons; one motet from his book of 52 motets from 1580, in seven voices, has no less than four of the voices entirely derived canonically. Another motet from this same book is a mensuration canon, that most difficult of all contrapuntal forms to carry off. While many composers were reacting to the strictures of the Council of Trent against excessive polyphonic practice, Porta evidently felt unobliged to follow them; perhaps he had sufficient confidence in his skill in conveying the text. His music is as carefully controlled as that of Palestrina, with cautious use of dissonance and chromaticism, while displaying polyphonic virtuosity to a degree uncommon in other composers of sacred music at the end of the 16th century.

paragraph: Some of the later motets use polychoral writing extensively. Although Porta was not in Venice in the late part of the century, where this style had become famous (see Venetian polychoral style), he had spent years there as a student studying with Willaert, and the influence clearly lasted throughout his life. Most likely he was familiar with the current practice in Venice, and adopted some of the innovations which worked best with his highly learned style.

paragraph: Porta also wrote madrigals. Many of these were clearly intended for specific occasions, such as weddings and large social events in the families of his employers; they are in a much simpler style than his sacred works, much in keeping with contemporary practice.

paragraph: Rudolph Bergh

paragraph: Rudolph Bergh (October 15, 1824 – July 20, 1909), full name Ludvig Sophus Rudolph Bergh, was a Danish physician and malacologist. He worked in Copenhagen.

paragraph: As a doctor his speciality was sexually transmitted diseases. In Copenhagen a hospital and a street are named after him.

paragraph: Bergh was also an active malacologist, i.e. a zoologist who studies molluscs, in particular the nudibranchs, shell-less marine gastropods. He had well over 90 publications in this field and took part in a scientific expedition to Indonesia. He named and described numerous species of nudibranchs.

paragraph: Section::::Biography.

paragraph: Rudolph Bergh was born in Copenhagen. His father was the son of the chief physician in the army of Louis Anton Berg. His mother was Anne Sophie Kirstine (maiden name Pedersen). Bergh graduated from the Det von Westenske Institut in 1842, and received his medical degree in 1849.

paragraph: Dr. Rudolph Bergh became an attending physician at what was then Almindeligt Hospital, the general hospital in Amaliegade, Copenhagen, in 1863. He worked in the department of skin diseases and venereal diseases. In 1886, he moved from there to Vestre Hospital, where he worked until 1903.

paragraph: Bergh died in 1909. One year after his death, Vestre Hospital was renamed Rudolph Bergh Hospital in honor of his memory. At that hospital, anyone who wished to could be tested for sexually transmitted diseases, and get advice on safe sex and birth control without any change and while retaining their anonymity. In 2000, some of these functions were transferred to Bispebjerg Hospital.

paragraph: There is a bust of Bergh in Copenhagen, in front of the eponymous "Rudolph Bergh's Hospital", on Tietgensgade. The bust was a gift from his colleagues and stood for years in his home. After his death Bergh's widow donated it to the hospital.

paragraph: Bergh was awarded a knighthood of the Third Class Order ("Ridder af Dannebrog") of Order of the Dannebrog and also the Dannebrogordenens Hæderstegn (Cross of Honour of the Order of the Dannebrog).

paragraph: In Copenhagen there is a street named in honor of him: Rudolph Berghs Gade (in English: Rudolph Bergh's Street) in Ydre Østerbro.

paragraph: His son Rudolph Sophus Bergh (September 22, 1859 - December 7, 1924) was a zoologist and a composer.

paragraph: Section::::As a physician.

paragraph: His medical specialization was sexually transmitted diseases. Among the many texts that Rudolph Bergh wrote was "About Tattoos in the public woman", which was published in the Hospital Journal in 1891. The work is about connections between prostitution, crime and tattoos. The article seems antiquated today and should not be taken as the sole expression of Rudolph Bergh great efforts to improve public health and in particular reduce the harmful effects of sexually transmitted diseases.

paragraph: Bergh was also one of the editors of the hospital magazine "Hospitalstidende", where he published nearly all of his over 50 medical articles.

paragraph: Section::::As a zoologist.

paragraph: Bergh started to study molluscs when he was nearly 30, probably under the influence of Japetus Steenstrup, a Danish biologist who was 11 years older than he was and who was a professor of zoology at the University of Copenhagen.

paragraph: He wrote reports of the Challenger expedition (1884) and the Albatross expedition (1894). He took part in the examination of species that were collected during the "Siboga Expedition".

paragraph: Bergh became the world's leading expert on nudibranchs. He wrote his main malacological works as well as over 90 malacological articles and papers. Among other notable works are his work about the anatomy of the radula of the genus "Conus" (1896). His malacological drawing are considered to be "excellent". He was mainly anatomist and reached great progress in systematics based on anatomy of nervous system and of reproductive system of gastropods. Bergh was very active in naming and describing species of nudibranchs and other sea slugs. The species he named include:

paragraph: Waltheof of Melrose

paragraph: Waltheof (c. 1095 – 1159) was a 12th-century English abbot and saint. He was the son of Simon I of St Liz, 1st Earl of Northampton and Maud, 2nd Countess of Huntingdon, thus stepson to David I of Scotland, and the grandson of Waltheof, Earl of Northampton.

paragraph: As a younger son in the world of Norman succession laws, Waltheof chose a career in the church. Between 1128 and 1131 he entered Nostell Priory to become an Augustinian canon. His noble connections enabled him to rise quickly. Within a few years he became Prior of Kirkham, North Yorkshire. Upon the death of Thurstan, Archbishop of York, in 1140, Waltheof was nominated to be his successor. His candidacy was supported by William of Aumale, the Earl of York. Stephen, probably sensing his links to David and hence to the Empress Matilda were too strong, rejected the nomination. William of Aumale withdrew his support after Waltheof refused to promise to give the earl the ecclesiastical manor of Sherburn-in-Elmet in the West Riding of Yorkshire. William fitz Herbert was instead chosen by Stephen. Waltheof featured prominently among those opposing William's provision, but by 1143 he had given up and become a Cistercian monk at Rievaulx Abbey. In 1148 he was elected to the abbacy of Melrose, a daughter house of Rievaulx. Waltheof remained in this position for the remainder of his life, even though he was offered of the bishopric of St Andrews in early 1159, which he declined. He died at Melrose Abbey on 3 August 1159.

paragraph: Following the death of Waltheof, his successor as Abbot of Melrose, Abbot William, refused to encourage the rumours that were now spreading regarding Waltheof's saintliness. Abbot William attempted to silence these rumours, and prevent the intrusiveness of would-be pilgrims. However, William was unable to get the better of Waltheof's emerging cult, and now his actions were alienating him from his brethren. As a result, in April 1170, William resigned the abbacy. In William's place, Jocelin, the prior of Melrose, became abbot. Jocelin had no such scruples. Jocelin embraced the cult without hesitation. Under the year of Jocelin's accession, it was reported in the "Chronicle of Melrose" that:

paragraph: The tomb of our pious father, sir Waltheof, the second abbot of Melrose, was opened by Enguerrand, of good memory, the bishop of Glasgow, and by four abbots called in for this purpose; and his body was found entire, and his vestments intact, in the twelfth year from his death, on the eleventh day before the Kalends of June [22 May]. And after the holy celebration of mass, the same bishop, and the abbots whose number we have mentioned above, placed over the remains of his most holy body a new stone of polished marble. And there was great gladness; those who were present exclaiming together, and saying that truly this was a man of God ...

paragraph: Promoting saints was something Jocelin would repeat as Bishop of Glasgow, where he would commission a hagiography of Saint Kentigern, the saint most venerated by the Celts of the diocese of Glasgow. It is no coincidence that Jocelin of Furness, who wrote the "Life of St. Waltheof", was the same man later commissioned to write the "Life of St. Kentigern". Jocelin's actions ensured Waltheof's posthumous "de facto" sainthood; and the need of Melrose Abbey to have its own saint's cult, ensured the cult's longevity.

paragraph: Section::::Life.

paragraph: Mendoza was born into a noble family at Burgos. At the age of 21 years he already occupied a professorial chair in canon law at Salamanca. After being auditor for six years at Valladolid, he was appointed Auditor of the Rota in Rome, and held this office for twelve years.

paragraph: In 1574 he became Bishop of Astorga; he was transferred to the See of Jaén in 1580. He died at Jaén.

paragraph: Among his works on canon law are "Selectarum interpretationum libri VIII" (Rome, 1571, Burgos, 1573, 1575, Antwerp, 1616), and "De redditibus eccleciasticis" (Rome, 1569, Burgos, 1573, 1575). In the latter, which is dedicated to Pope Pius V, he argues against Martin Azpilcueta, that clerics are not bound in justice, but only in charity, to give to the poor that part of their revenues which is not necessary for their own sustenance. His complete works were published in three volumes (Antwerp, 1616).

paragraph: Mehdi Akhavan-Sales

paragraph: Mehdi Akhavān-Sāles , or Akhavān-Sāless () (March 1, 1929 in Mashhad, Iran – August 26, 1990 in Tehran, Iran), pen name M. Omid (م. امید, "Hope") was a prominent Iranian poet. He is one of the pioneers of Free Verse ("New Style Poetry") in Persian language.

paragraph: Section::::Biography.

paragraph: Mehdi Akhavan Sales (M. Omid) was born on 1 March 1929, in Mashhad, Khorasan Province, Iran and finished secondary school there. His father, Ali, originally from Fahraj in Yazd province, was an apothecary (ʿaṭṭār), and his mother, Maryam, a native of Khorasan.

paragraph: Akhavan Sales had to give up an interest in music to appease his father. Following his education, Akhavan moved to Tehran (1949) and worked as a teacher. When the government of prime minister Mohammad Mosaddegh was toppled by a coup, he took part in political activities and was imprisoned along with Nima Yooshij and other activists..

paragraph: After his release from prison in 1957, he started to work in radio, and soon after was transferred to Khouzestan to work in TV. Later on, he taught literature on radio and TV and at the university. After the 1979 Iranian Revolution he was granted membership to the Iranian Academy of Artists and Writers. In 1981 he was forced to retire from government service without pay. In 1990, following an invitation from the cultural organization in Germany, he traveled abroad for the first time. Few months after his return, he died at Mehr Hospital in Tehran. He is buried on the grounds of the mausoleum of Ferdowsi in Tus.

paragraph: His first book of poems "Organ" (Farsi title ارغنون) was published in 1951.

paragraph: Section::::Poetry.

paragraph: Although Akhavan Sales's poetic career began as early as 1942, he did not acquire a degree that recognized his achievements, which was necessary for breaking into literary circles, in his time; however, this changed when he published his third volume of poetry in 1956, entitled "Zemestan" (Winter); this volume boosted Sales's career and placed him among the top runners for the mantle of Nima Yushij. In fact, within many circles, Nader Naderpour and Akhavan Sales were equally recognized as worthy successors of the Bard of Mazandaran. The fact that, like Nima, both poets had begun as traditionalists and then worked their way into new realms of New Poetry (sic) through individual initiative itself, both deserved praise for singular effort (why single one out when two can hold the same title at once?).

paragraph: Akhavan's forte, like the bard of Tus, Ferdowsi, is epic; more precisely, he chooses themes of epical proportion and expresses them with the same zeal that Ferdowsi uses in the Shahnameh. The difference is that they wrote for diametrically opposed audiences. Akhavan Sales was free from involving his poetry in 'gavel by gavel' battles with Iranian and Turanian 'political' magistrates; on the contrary, he could focus on the themes and illustrating aspects of life with diverse, often far-fetched similes, metaphors, and symbols (without concerning himself, that is, with political consequences).

paragraph: Sales's language is complex. While translating his verse, one cannot ignore the impact of the internal rhythm, the interconnection of seemingly disparate images, and the ubiquitous presence of his thematic focus. Sales's "Winter," for example, displays his understanding the depth of his philosophic convictions and, at the same time, the dexterity and finesse that distinguishes his writing. Iraj Bashiri's translation gives us the English equivalent:

paragraph: As Abdolali Dastgheib, literary critic writer puts it: Mehdi Akhavan-Sales benefitted from ancient treasures of Persian literature and was able to skillfully combine the old, traditional style with modern or even, everyday words to create some of the best works of Iranian poetry. His later works have a rich style and are a symbolic portrait of political and social atmosphere of the time. For example, his famous poem ‘Winter (Zemestān زمستان, 1956)’ which was written shortly following the coup against Iranian popular and liberal prime minister Mohammad Mosaddegh, and the suppression of freedom by the Shah’s government, shows his despair and loss of hope. In this poem, even close friends are not extending hands to each other or talking as “the cold is severely bitter”.

paragraph: Mehdi Akhavan Sales is one of the best contemporary Persian poets. He is one of the pioneers of Free Verse (New Style Poetry) in Persian literature, particularly of modern style epics who has introduced a fresh style into Persian poetry.

paragraph: Eric de Maré

paragraph: Eric de Maré (1910 in London – 2002) was a British photographer and author, described as one of the greatest British architectural photographers.

paragraph: de Maré was born in London on the 10 September 1910, the second son of Swedish parents, Bror Edward August de Mare (a timber broker) and his wife Ellen Ingrid (née Tellander). His younger brother was the psychotherapist Patrick de Maré. He was educated at St Paul’s School in London before becoming a student of the Architectural Association in 1928. Following graduation in 1933, he went to Scandinavia to travel and work. A number of his later publications focus on Sweden. He was a supporter of the Social Credit movement. He married Marjorie Vanessa (née Vallance) in 1936.

paragraph: On returning to England, he joined the Architectural Press and became the acting editor of the "Architects Journal", in 1943. In 1942, de Maré had published his first book, titled "Britain Rebuilt". The subsequent years saw the publication of further books and articles within the architectural press. Many of the subjects covered in these works are represented within the collection held by the public English Heritage Archive.

paragraph: Canals and waterways feature significantly in de Maré’s work. In 1948, he boated a dozen of the English canals during a 600-mile tour, photographing the landscapes, buildings and people he encountered. This journey resulted in a 1949 article for the "Architectural Review" documenting canal life and buildings. The following year saw the publication of "The Canals of England". The book provided an historical and technical description of inland waterways punctuated by de Maré’s photography.

paragraph: In 1956, he was commissioned to travel throughout England to photograph early industrial sites and buildings. The resulting images were combined with JM Richard’s text in "The Functional Tradition in Early Industrial Buildings", which was published by the Architectural Press in 1958. The functional tradition within architecture had received little attention from contemporary architects until this study, but the work coincided with and promoted an increased interest in the qualities of early industrial structures. His work in the 1960s reflected the other end of the industrial spectrum, focussing on modern power generation plants, to which his photographs frequently conferred a sculptural quality.

paragraph: De Maré died on 22 January 2002, aged 91. "The Guardian" said that to most architects and architectural historians he was the finest architectural photographer of the mid-20th century. The "Telegraph" described him as one of the most notable photographers of his time, as well as a prolific author.
