paragraph: Steve Ross (cabaret singer)

paragraph: Steven Richard Ross (born December 8, 1938) is an American cabaret singer and pianist, known for his interpretations of the Great American Songbook, particularly the music of George Gershwin, Cole Porter, Irving Berlin and Noël Coward. He is a revivalist of popular compositions from the early-to-mid 20th century, including ragtime, Tin Pan Alley, show tunes, musical theatre and patter songs. Ross has been dubbed "the Crown Prince of Cabaret", and his personal style described as "the epitome of sophisticated 'cafe' cabaret".

paragraph: Regarding his interpretations of Cole Porter, fellow cabaret pianist Michael Feinstein noted that Ross has, "an ability to create a reserve or an 'arch' quality that certain of his songs require and that eludes" other performers.

paragraph: Section::::Early life.

paragraph: Born Steven Richard Ross in New Rochelle, New York, and raised on the family gentleman's farm in nearby Millbrook, where he first learned to play piano. His family later relocated to Bethesda, Maryland. There Ross attended the Jesuit-run Gonzaga College High School, where he was a classmate of American political commentator Pat Buchanan, before matriculating at Georgetown University. After being honorably discharged from the United States Army in 1963, he began playing piano professionally among the saloons and nightclubs of Washington, D.C..

paragraph: Section::::Career.

paragraph: First gaining notoriety as a cabaret performer in the late 1970s during his residency at the Theatre District, Manhattan venue Ted Hook's Backstage, Ross was described as having, "boyish vivacity and skill as an accopanist [that] encouraged many stars to rise and perform...", including Ginger Rogers, Kay Thompson, and Liza Minnelli.

paragraph: In 1980, under the direction of Donald F. Smith, founder of the Mabel Mercer Foundation, Ross began a successful residency in the Oak Room of the Algonquin Hotel. Cabaret historian James Gavin noted, "...For four seasons Ross provided the sorts nights that an older generation of New Yorkers had grown to miss and that a substantial young audience had yet to discover." During his Oak Room residency Ross recorded and released his first commercial album 'Steve Ross Live at The Algonquin'. The cover art featured a portrait of Ross created by caricaturist Al Hirschfeld. The Oak Room would later host other cabaret artist including Michael Feinstein, Andrea Marcovicci, Susannah McCorkle, and jazz-oriented performers Diana Krall, Harry Connick Jr. and John Pizzarelli.

paragraph: Ross made a cameo appearance as himself in the 1988 fantasy-comedy film "Big", directed by Penny Marshall and starring Tom Hanks. In 1996 Ross made his off-Broadway debut appearing onstage with Frank Langella in the Scott Elliott revival of the Noël Coward play Present Laughter.

paragraph: Other notable venues where Ross has performed during his five-decade career include Lincoln Center for the Performing Arts, the Ritz in London, the Spoleto Festival, the Hong Kong Arts Festival, the Perth International Arts Festival and Metropolitan Museum of Art.

paragraph: Kenny Brown (guitarist)

paragraph: Kenny Brown (born July 5, 1953 on the Air Force base in Selma, Alabama) is an American blues slide guitarist skilled in the North Mississippi Hill Country blues style.

paragraph: Brown apprenticed with Mississippi Joe Callicott, who was his neighbor in Nesbit, Mississippi, from age 12 to 15, when Callicott died. He had heard Othar Turner and others in nearby Como picnics, and cited Junior Kimbrough, Johnny Winter, and Johnny Shines as influences.

paragraph: Around 1971, beside working in construction, Brown began playing with two other musicians. Johnny Woods would make an occasional playing partner to his death in 1990. More steady was Brown's learning with R. L. Burnside, who claimed Brown as his "adopted son," and affectionately called him "white boy on guitar" and "my white son." Brown has noted that they had trouble to book dates, when European event organizers would hear he is a white musician playing the traditionally African American blues, and that American record producers and critics have similar reservations.

paragraph: Still in the early seventies they started to perform in their region, and would keep up as a duo for twenty years. Cedric Burnside joined their tours from about 1994, as Burnside's reputation surged. In the 1990s and early 2000s Brown participated in most of Burnside's tours and recordings, including the Burnside-Jon Spencer Blues Explosion collaborations and the remixed albums.

paragraph: Brown first appeared abroad in Sweden in 1989, and later in the 1992 Åmåls Blues Fest with George "Mojo" Buford.

paragraph: On record, he plays second guitar on two of Junior Kimbrough's albums throughout, and on some tracks on the posthumous compilation, "God Knows I Tried". He is on tracks by Asie Payton, CeDell Davis and Paul "Wine" Jones, as well as Frank Frost and Cyndi Lauper.

paragraph: Brown's own debut album was "Goin' Back to Mississippi" (1996), produced by Dale Hawkins. He has recorded one album for Fat Possum Records, "Stingray" (2003). He released "Cheap, Fast, and Dirty" (2006) with Danish guitarist Troels Jensen, at Olufsen Records. "Meet Ya In The Bottom" (2008) is a CD Baby release. His double album "Can't Stay Long" (2011) was released on Devil Down Records.

paragraph: In their 2003 tour he has opened for Widespread Panic (and the extended combo Smiling assassins), as he earlier had with Burnside,

paragraph: Brown's guitar work was featured in the 2006 film "Black Snake Moan", where he provided backing for star Samuel L. Jackson's vocals. He can be seen in the film's climax as a guitarist in a blues band, playing alongside Cedric Burnside.

paragraph: John Eric Greenwood

paragraph: John Eric Greenwood (known as Jenny Greenwood) was a rugby union international who represented England from 1912 to 1920. He also captained his country. During what would have been the prime of his playing career he fought in the First World War.

paragraph: Section::::Early life.

paragraph: Jenny Greenwood was born on 23 July 1891 in Lewisham. He attended Dulwich College

paragraph: Section::::Rugby union career.

paragraph: Greenwood learnt his rugby at Dulwich College, before which he had been a keen soccer player. Whilst there he played in an unbeaten first XV in 1909 which contained five future internationals dubbed the 'Famous Five'. These five would all go on to play in the 1913 Varsity match, (and also produced the captains of both Oxford and Cambridge in 1919), and all served in the First World War. They were Eric Loudoun-Shand and Grahame Donald who both went on to play for Scotland, William David Doherty who went on to play for and captain Ireland, Greenwood himself who went on to play for and captain England and the record-breaking Cyril Lowe.

paragraph: From Dulwich College, Greenwood went to Cambridge University. He was selected to play as a Centre in the 1912 varsity match, and also made his international debut on 8 April 1912 at Parc des Princes in the France vs England match. He was again selected for the 1913 varsity match and again played for England. On his team were two of his former school team mates, CN Lowe and George Doherty, on the opposing side were Eric Loudoun-Shand and Graham Donald also from Dulwich. His international career was then interrupted by the outbreak of the First World War.

paragraph: He did return to international rugby,and also made a return for Cambridge University in 1919. He captained the side and his opposing captain was his former school team mate Loudoun-Shand. It was due to a chance encounter with Eric Loudoun-Shand that Greenwood was allowed to captain the Cambridge side that year. It was within the prerogative of the Oxford captain to deny Cambridge the chance to field Greenwood, who had left the University just prior to the war. However, the long association proved to be to Greenwood's good fortune. Eric Loudoun-Shand played that match with a severely injured arm, an injury from the Great War. So bad was this injury that he later had to have the arm amputated.

paragraph: Of the 13 matches Greenwood played for his national side he was on the winning side on 11 occasions.

paragraph: He played his final match for England on 20 March 1920 at Twickenham in the England vs Scotland match.

paragraph: Sam Morgan (born July 28, 1982), professionally known as Sam Outlaw, is a country music singer-songwriter. Outlaw calls his music "SoCal country", country music refashioned with a Southern California vibe of the classic honky-tonk and troubadour pop.

paragraph: Section::::Early life.

paragraph: Outlaw was born in Aberdeen, South Dakota as Sam Morgan. At the age of 10, his family moved to southern California. He grew up in a conservative Christian home and was limited by his parents as to what kind of music he could listen to. He did however, note the influence of Western Swing band Asleep at the Wheel and how their all-star tribute albums to Bob Wills & His Texas Playboys acted as "country music in a bottle" for him. The Beatles were also a huge influence on Outlaw. As a young adult, he had a musical revelation when he heard the classic country voices of Emmylou Harris and George Jones. Outlaw notes that George Jones' music inspired him to get more serious about playing the guitar and writing songs.

paragraph: In "his late 20s ... both his parents’ and his own marriage simultaneously crumbled."

Outlaw self-released an EP in 2014. It immediately created a buzz and he secured performance slots at the Stagecoach Festival and AmericanaFest produced by the Americana Music Association.

paragraph: CMT featured his music video, "Cry For Me", in 2014.

paragraph: George Smart (tailor)

paragraph: George Smart (1774-1846) was an English tailor and Folk Artist notable for his cloth collage portraits and felt covered dummyboards. He lived in Frant, a village in East Sussex, England. His artworks were mentioned in several guidebooks of the time that encouraged tourists to visit his shop. His most notable subjects were Old Bright, the local postman and The Goosewoman. The Tunbridge Wells Museum owns nine examples of his work and Compton Verney Art Gallery in Warwickshire has two pictures.

paragraph: In the summer of 2014, twenty one artworks by George Smart were included in Tate Britain's "British Folk Art" exhibition, the first time his work had been gathered together in a major gallery and in such quantity. These included all the examples of his work owned by the Tunbridge Wells Museum, Kent.

paragraph: Until recently he has mostly been the subject of a few paragraphs in Folk art compendiums, but is now recognised as one of the key figures within the history of English Folk Art. Unusually for a Folk Artist, he is the known creator of over 70 works

paragraph: The first monograph on Smart called, "George Smart: The Tailor of Frant, Artist in Cloth & Velvet Figures" was published in the UK in March 2016. A website devoted to the life and work of George Smart, The Tailor of Frant is now available here: georgesmartfrant.wordpress.com

paragraph: Eli Tomac

paragraph: Eli Tomac (born November 14, 1992 in Cortez, Colorado) is an American professional motocross racer competing in the AMA Supercross and Motocross championships.

paragraph: Tomac began his professional career in 2010. He made his 450cc debut part way into the 2013 Supercross schedule, and moved to the class full-time the following year.

paragraph: He won his first outdoor 450cc event at the 2014 Spring Creek National in Millville, Minnesota. His first 450cc Supercross win came in 2015 at Phoenix's Chase Field.

paragraph: Eli has been riding for the Kawasaki factory racing team since the 2016 season.

paragraph: Section::::Personal life.

paragraph: Tomac is the younger of two sons (his older brother, Greg, serves in the US Air force) of former competitive BMX and mountain bike racer John Tomac and wife Kathy.

paragraph: Section::::250cc Career.

paragraph: In 2010, Eli Tomac became the second rider in the history of the sport, behind James Stewart, to win his professional 250cc class AMA Pro Motocross debut at the Hangtown season opener. At that time he was riding for Team Geico Honda.

paragraph: For 2011, Eli had a strong 250cc Supercross season with 2 wins and 6 podium finishes.

paragraph: For 2012, Eli won the 250cc Supercross championship with seven podium finishes and five first place main event wins.

paragraph: For 2013, Eli finishes 2 points behind Ken Roczen in the 250cc Supercross championship with five first place main event wins. He won the outdoor 250cc title.

paragraph: Section::::2015 Season.

paragraph: Despite injuries in 2014 & 2015, Eli finished 2nd to Ryan Dungey in the 450cc Supercross championship with eleven podium finishes. He started the outdoor motocross season with two overall wins, two overall podiums and five moto wins before being sidelined by an injury.

paragraph: Section::::2017 Season.

paragraph: Because of poor results, including a mechanical failure, Eli found himself 29 points behind Supercross points leader Ryan Dungey. Tomac went on to win 8 of the first 14 races finding himself tied for the lead with Dungey at the start of round 15. During race 15 Tomac showed the fans he was the dominant force in 2017 Supercross as he started near the back of the pack and went on to pass almost the entire field, taking the lead and the win from Dungey in the final laps. At the next race, with a 3-point lead over Dungey, Tomac took the lead early but crashed when he lost control of his front wheel on the first lap and fell behind. He made another error later in the race while tying to catch the leaders on the tough and technical track. On the last lap it looked like Tomac would lose the points lead to Dungey but be within five points. In the last lap, Marvin Musquin, KTM Team Member, allegedly pulled over and allowed Dungey to take the win and score an additional three points. Tomac was then facing an eight-point deficit with only one race to go.

paragraph: At round 17 in Las Vegas Eli Tomac was in first place but repeatedly slowed and allowed the slower riders including Ryan Dungey to catch up. Dungey passed Tomac numerous times, and each time Tomac re-passed Dungey. In the end Tomac finished 2nd to Dungey's 4th place leaving Tomac 5 points short in the points race for the season.

paragraph: Tomac began his 2018 outdoor campaign with 5 consecutive moto wins and 5 consecutive overall wins. Tomac was a clear favorite to win each week and only finished off of the podium at two of the 12 rounds. Tomac experienced bike issues while leading the first moto at Red Bud which forced him to retire from the moto early. Tomac would eventually come back to win both Spring Creek and Washougal Nationals with a couple of late-race charges in the second motos. Tomac won the 2017 outdoor Motocross title with 470 points over second place Marvin Musquin with 453 points and third place Blake Baggett with 451 points.

paragraph: Marcel de Chollet

paragraph: Marcel de Chollet or Marcel Chollet (26 October 1855, Fribourg – 30 July 1924, Paris) was a French-Swiss painter of the Belle Époque. He is mainly known for his ceiling places in public buildings, hotels and casinos in Switzerland and Paris, which can be assigned to both naturalism and impressionism.

paragraph: Section::::Life.

paragraph: The son of the architect Charles Joseph de Chollet, little is known of de Chollet's youth. He left Switzerland in 1880 to study at the academy in Paris. He worked in the studios of Borchgrave and Bidan, where he graduated in decorative painting. He then joined Pierre-Victor Galland's decorative painting course at the École nationale supérieure des Beaux-Arts and settled in Paris for good at a studio at 17 Rue Victor-Massé in Montmartre.

paragraph: He successfully exhibited still lifes and drawings in Swiss salons between 1883 and 1898 – these works are now in the Musée d'art et d'histoire de Fribourg, Musée d'Art et d'Histoire in Geneva and the Musée Rath among others. In Paris his work was exhibited at the Salon des artistes français. In 1903 Marcel de Chollet was honoured with a "mention" at the Paris Salon. He moved away from naturalism in his still lifes, influenced by the portraits of women then being produced in Paris by Claude Monet and Édouard Manet.

paragraph: His first interior commission was in 1885 for the audience hall of the Federal Supreme Court of Switzerland in Lausanne. In 1895 he painted the main hall at the renowned Hôtel des Alpes-Grand Hôtel in Territet. Further orders followed, though his real breakthrough work was an allegorical scheme for the presidential offices in the Bundeshaus Bern. In 1905 he painted the reading room at the Palais de Rumine in Lausanne and a year later that in the Montreux Palace hotel in Montreux. In 1908 he produced the scheme in the 'Salle del Castillo' at Casino du Rivage in Vevey. However, his work on the 'Grands Magasins du Louvre' was destroyed in 1974.

paragraph: Harry Curtis (footballer)

paragraph: Harry Richard Curtis (3 October 1892 – 31 March 1968) was an Australian rules footballer who played for Carlton and Collingwood in the VFL.

paragraph: Section::::Biography.

paragraph: Curtis started his career as a ruckman at Carlton, the club his older brother Charlie had played for. He could only manage two senior appearances in the 1913 season and the following year debuted for Collingwood. Although he was a ruckman in Collingwood's losing 1915 Grand Final side, he was used mostly by the club as a centre half-forward. It was in that position that he played in both the 1917 and 1919 premierships at Collingwood. He was one of the key players in the 1917 Grand Final with three goals and played in another losing Grand Final in 1920.

paragraph: In 1923, his final season, Curtis captained the Magpies before retiring due to business commitments. He served at Collingwood's president from 1924 to 1950, a record stretch by a president of any VFL/AFL club. In 2007 he was inducted into Collingwood's Hall of Fame.

paragraph: Ángel María de Rosa

paragraph: Ángel María de Rosa (February 12, 1888 - February 26, 1970) was an Argentine sculptor and philanthropist.

paragraph: Section::::Life and work.

paragraph: Ángel María de Rosa was born in Junín, a pampas city in northern Buenos Aires Province, in 1888. He enrolled in the Society for the Stimulus of Fine Arts, in Buenos Aires, while in his teens, and later transferred to the Bon Marché Arts Academy, where his teachers were renowned local painters Ernesto de la Cárcova and Pío Collivadino.

paragraph: His training took him to Italy, where he studied in the Florentine Academy, until 1903, and in the Institute of Fine Arts in Rome. Graduating in 1913, he received a First Prize from the Italian Ministry of Education before returning to Argentina. His work, "La Visionaria", earned him the same recognition at the Panama-Pacific International Exposition in San Francisco, in 1915.

paragraph: He exhibited his plaster, marble and bronze sculptures in 1928 in both Rome and New York City, and at the latter event, he sponsored fellow Argentine artist Benito Quinquela Martín, a landscape painter who would later create Buenos Aires' well-known Caminito.

paragraph: His 1943 gift of most of his own works, as well as of much of the art he had collected in Europe to his native Junín resulted in the 1944 creation of the Junín Municipal Museum of Fine Arts. Lacking its own facilities, the museum relocated to a series of temporary locations and was initially maintained by de Rosa and a fellow sculptor, Juan Donato Comuni. Comuni's death in 1962, however, was followed by de Rosa's own in 1970, at age 82.

paragraph: The museum languished after his death, though the city's allocation of an ornate, former market hall led to its re-establishment as the Ángel María de Rosa Municipal Museum of Art, in 1978.

paragraph: Martín Cortés de Albacar (1510–1582) was a Spanish cosmographer. In 1551 he published the standard navigational textbook "Arte de navigar" (also known as "Breve compendio")

paragraph: Cortés was born in Bujaraloz, province of Zaragoza, Aragon. From 1530, in Cádiz, he taught cosmography and the art of navigation to pilots.

paragraph: Section::::"Art of Navigation".

paragraph: Cortés' book, "Breve compendio,"..."Arte de navegar" was promoted by Steven Borough who had it translated into English by Richard Eden and published in 1561 entitled "The Art of Navigation." As such it became the first English manual of navigation and the primary text for European navigation throughout the early 17thC, enjoyed by such as Martin Frobisher and Francis Drake.

paragraph: "Arte de navegar" was a practical book in which Cortés discussed, in a concise manner, navigation, cosmography and problems such as magnetic declination for which he hypothesised a Celestial magnetic pole.

paragraph: He included many illustrations and models for making instruments. and the text contained the earliest known description of the Nocturnal and how to make and use a sea astrolabe

paragraph: Cortés' calculations were critical in allowing explorers to ascertain their location when out of sight of land.

paragraph: In 1574, the mathematician William Bourne, produced a popular version of the book, entitled "A Regiment for the Sea". Bourne was critical of some aspects of "Arte de Navegar" and produced a manual of more practical use to the seaman.

paragraph: He died aged 72.
