paragraph: Clarence Whitehill

paragraph: Clarence Eugene Whitehill (November 5, 1871 - December 19, 1932) was a leading American bass-baritone. He sang at the Metropolitan Opera from 1915 to 1932. He sang on both sides of the Atlantic and is best remembered for his association with the music dramas of Richard Wagner, and for his recordings of well-known music hall ballads such as "I'll take you home again, Kathleen".

paragraph: Section::::Biography.

paragraph: He was born on November 5, 1871 in Marengo, Iowa.

paragraph: Whitehill first studied in Chicago with L. A. Phelps, and then in Paris with Giraudet and Giovanni Sbriglia. In 1898, he made his stage debut at La Monnaie in Brussels, as Capulet in "Roméo et Juliette". He sang Nilakhanta at the Opéra-Comique the next year, becoming the first ever American singer to perform in that theatre.

paragraph: Whitehill travelled to Frankfurt, Germany to study with Julius Stockhausen. He appeared on stage in several German cities, while studying the Wagnerian baritone and bass-baritone roles. In 1904, he debuted at the Bayreuth Festival as Wolfram in "Tannhäuser". Later, he sang Amfortas and Wotan.

paragraph: Whitehill went on to appear with considerable success at the Royal Opera House, Covent Garden, London, in the first "Ring Cycle" sung in the English. He decided, however, that the time had come for him to leave Europe and return to America, and he made his Metropolitan Opera debut.

paragraph: on November 25, 1909.

paragraph: He married Isabel Rush on July 24, 1912. She was the widow of James Rervey Simpson.

paragraph: He would enjoy a long and praiseworthy career at the Met despite a throat ailment which periodically affected one of his vocal cords. He was especially acclaimed in such taxing Wagnerian parts as Hans Sachs in "Die Meistersinger von Nürnberg", but he also appeared in the Met premiere of the French operas "Louise" (in 1921) and "Pelléas et Mélisande" (in 1925), and in the North American premiere of Erich Wolfgang Korngold's one-act opera "Violanta" on 5 November 1927).

paragraph: He was to remain on the Met's roster of singers until May 14, 1932 when he retired in a dispute.

paragraph: He died on December 19, 1932 in Manhattan, New York City.

paragraph: Section::::Legacy.

paragraph: Whitehill was notable for the tonal beauty of his large voice, the nobility of his singing style and the dignity of his stage demeanour. His diction, phrasing and enunciation were considered to be exemplary, too, while his interpretations were said to have a poignant intensity which set them apart from those of his contemporaries. Fortunately, Whitehill made a number of gramophone records prior to World War I which display something of his greatness as a Wagnerian singer.

paragraph: Vito Fazzi

paragraph: Vito Fazzi (1851–1918) was an Italian doctor who lived in Lecce in the second half of the 19th century. His work was fundamental for the construction of the first big modern civil hospital in Lecce.

paragraph: Section::::Biography.

paragraph: Section::::Biography.:Life and personality.

paragraph: Vito Fazzi was born in Melpignano (Lecce) on 23 December 1851. His wife, Adele Profilo, died at the age of 23 during the birth of her second daughter. According to a philological analysis, his name means “Faber Vitae”, that is “life maker”; this quality emerges in the speeches and epitaphs pronounced during his funeral. He was a very reflective and modest man; it is meaningful that in his study he had a portrait of a patient who unfortunately died during a surgical operation made by himself. In such a way he underlined the importance of reminding the mistakes made in the past in order to learn by them.

paragraph: Section::::Biography.:Political and medical career.

paragraph: Vito Fazzi was not only a very important doctor, but also a great politician. He became city councillor with responsibility for public hygiene and he intensified the fight against malaria reclaiming wetlands. He was also elected President of Lecce province. In 1887 he began the construction of a psychiatric hospital, which was opened in 1901. He entered the Parliament in 1903 and promoted politics of growth and development for his land. He died at the age of 66, on 12 January 1918. His biggest achievement was the construction of the new city civil hospital, which was completed in 1913. After his death, in 1922, Lecce medical council decided to call the new hospital “ Vito Fazzi” in memory of this great doctor who changed the sanitary story of his city.

paragraph: A memorial of Vito Fazzi, a sculpture made by a famous artist, Guacci, was located and it is still today in the main hall of the hospital.

paragraph: Carlos de Grand Pré

paragraph: Carlos Louis Boucher De Grand Pré (October 25, 1745 – 1809) was Spanish governor of the Baton Rouge district (1799–1808) and of Spanish West Florida (1805), as well as brevet colonel in the Spanish Army. He also served as lieutenant governor of Red River District and of the Natchez District.

paragraph: Section::::Biography.

paragraph: Grand Pré was born in New Orleans, and was baptized Charles Louis Grand Pré on 25 October 1745, at the parish church of St. Louis in New Orleans. In his baptismal record, his parents were listed as Louis Grand Pré, captain of a French naval reserve company, and Thérèse Gallard. In Spanish records after 1769, his first name is usually given as "Carlos."

paragraph: He participated in the expansion of Baton Rouge under Elias Beauregard, although its original authorization had not been compiled. Ownership of Louisiana changed several times during this time period.

paragraph: Section::::Biography.:Military career.

paragraph: This was illustrated by taking the British military posts of Thompson's Creek and Amite River, under the command of Governor Bernardo de Gálvez, and the campaign for Fort Manchac and Fort New Richmond, in 1779. He served as commander of Pointe Coupée and as lieutenant governor of the Red River District, stationed at Avoyelles, under the Spanish regime.

paragraph: Grand Pré was also commandant of Natchez District between 1786 and 1792. During this period, Grand Pré built two parishes here in an attempt to convert inhabitants to Catholicism; however, the venture was unsuccessful. In 1789, he established the "Concord" mansion in Natchez. In a letter dated March 2, 1790, Carlos de Grand Pré created a list of tobacco farmers in the Natchez District, mainly from Kentucky and Virginia, that outlined production quantities and origination of each farm between the years of 1788 and 1790. After leaving Natchez, he received land around the Avoyelles Post.

paragraph: Section::::Biography.:Political career.

paragraph: In 1799, Grand Pré was appointed governor of the Baton Rouge. The same year, the new governor proposed that the Spanish settlers from the Canary Islands who lived in Galvez Town settle in the new town of Spanish Town. He drew up the layout of an area east of the fort "out of cannon shot" which became known as Spanish Town.

paragraph: As far back as 1804, there had been rumblings against the Spaniards and in August of that year, a group of Americans under the leadership of Reuben Kemper published a declaration of independence, captured the Spanish commander and his alcalde at Bayou Sara, and set out to capture Gov. Grand Pré at Baton Rouge. They had hoped to surprise the Spanish official, but Grand Pré was well-warned and the Americans withdrew after a little desultory shooting. The Kempers retired to Pinckneyville, just over the line in the Mississippi Territory, from where they kept up a running battle with the Spanish.

paragraph: In 1805, Grand Pré was appointed governor of West Florida. In this year, the new governor proposed the emigration of the Spanish settlers from the Canary Islands who lived in Galvez Town to settle down in the new town of Spanish Town. He drew up the layout of an area east of the fort 'out of cannon shot' that became known as Spanish Town.

paragraph: An ultimate result of the activity of the Kempers and when Napoleon was attempting to install his brother on the Spanish throne was the recall of Grand Pré to Havana by the captain-general for questioning over his mild policies against the inhabitants. Grand Pré died in Cuba in 1809 while awaiting trial. According to his friend Pedro Favrot, he was executed for "pro-French" activities. , who succeeded him as governor of the district of Baton Rouge, was much criticized for accused corruption and taken prisoner during the West Florida revolt in 1810.

paragraph: Mahipati (1715 - 1790) was a Marathi language hagiographer who wrote biographies of prominent Hindu Vaishnava sants who had lived between the 13th and the 17th centuries in Maharashtra, India.

paragraph: He worked for some time as a scribe for the village of Taharabad in Ahmednagar district in Maharashtra and also for a Mughal landlord. Although he played down his abilities, his hagiographies of the Varkari sants, based at least in part on earlier works by Nabhadas and Uddhava Ciddhan, are still considered to be the most authoritative.

paragraph: An English translation of "Bhaktavijaya", originally written by Mahipati around 1762, was published under the provisions of the will of Justin E. Abbott in 1933.

paragraph: Leif Elggren

paragraph: Leif Elggren (born 1950, Linköping, Sweden), is a Swedish artist who lives and works in Stockholm.

paragraph: Active since the late 1970s, Leif Elggren has become one of the most constantly surprising conceptual artists to work in the combined worlds of audio and visual. A writer, visual artist, stage performer and composer, he has many albums to his credits, solo and with the Sons of God, on labels such as Ash International, Touch, Radium and his own Firework Edition. His music, often conceived as the soundtrack to a visual installation or experimental stage performance, usually presents carefully selected sound sources over a long stretch of time and can range from quiet electronics to harsh noise. His wide-ranging and prolific body of art often involves dreams and subtle absurdities, social hierarchies turned upside-down, hidden actions and events taking on the quality of icons.

paragraph: Together with artist Carl Michael von Hausswolff, he is a founder of the Kingdoms of Elgaland-Vargaland (KREV) where he enjoys the title of king.

paragraph: Section::::History.

paragraph: Elggren spent five years at the Academy of Fine Arts in Stockholm, specializing in drawing, design and bookprinting. In the late ‘70s he began to associate with performance groups, meeting people like Hausswolff and Thomas Liljenberg. With the latter he formed Firework in 1978, a duo that put up exhibitions and performances. Around the same time he purchased a press and started to publish art books. In 1982 he founded Firework Edition, a small publishing company, together with Liljenberg.

paragraph: In 1988 he formed the duo Guds Söner (The Sons of God) with Kent Tankred, whom he had met four years earlier. The duo excels in creating long, puzzling stage performances that give equal roles to physical action (or inaction) and soundtrack (live or taped) with themes such as violence, love, the quotidian, food and royalty.

paragraph: Elggren released his first 7" records in 1982 and 1984 on Hausswolff's label Radium. A first solo LP, "Flown Over by an Old King", came out in 1988. The inception of Firework Edition in 1996 allowed Elggren to release more of his music and the growing popularity of installation art in avant-garde music circles (thanks to its ties with experimental electronica) has given his work more international exposure since the late ‘90s. Other key solo works include "Talking to a Dead Queen" (1996) and "Pluralis Majestatis" (2000).

paragraph: Together with Hausswolff, Elggren curated the Nordic Pavilion at the Venice Biennale in 2001.

paragraph: In 2007 he appeared (with John Duncan) at the Netmage festival in Bologna organized by xing and executed "Something Like Seeing in the Dark".

paragraph: Ryoji Ikeda

paragraph: Ryoji Ikeda (池田 亮司 "Ikeda Ryōji", born 1966) is a Japanese visual and sound artist who lives and works in Paris. Ikeda's music is concerned primarily with sound in a variety of "raw" states, such as sine tones and noise, often using frequencies at the edges of the range of human hearing. The conclusion of his album "+/-" features just such a tone; of it, Ikeda says "a high frequency sound is used that the listener becomes aware of only upon its disappearance" (from the CD booklet). Rhythmically, Ikeda's music is highly imaginative, exploiting beat patterns and, at times, using a variety of discrete tones and noise to create the semblance of a drum machine. His work also encroaches on the world of ambient music; many tracks on his albums are concerned with slowly evolving soundscapes, with little or no sense of pulse.

paragraph: Ryoji Ikeda was born in Gifu, Japan in 1966.

paragraph: In addition to working as a solo artist, he has also collaborated with, among others, Carsten Nicolai (under the name "Cyclo.") and the art collective Dumb Type. His work "matrix" won the Golden Nica Award in 2001.

paragraph: In 2004, the dormant Saarinen-designed TWA Flight Center (now Jetblue Terminal 5) at JFK Airport briefly hosted an art exhibition called Terminal 5 curated by Rachel K. Ward and featuring the work of 18 artists including Ikeda. The show featured work, lectures and temporary installations drawing inspiration from the idea of travel — and the terminal's architecture. The show was to run from October 1, 2004 to January 31, 2005 — though it closed abruptly after the building itself was vandalized during the opening party.

paragraph: In May – June 2011 a presentation of three of the artist's immersive audio/visual projects, "The Transfinite", was exhibited at the Park Avenue Armory.

paragraph: In 2014, Ikeda was awarded the Prix Ars Electronica "Collide@CERN 2014". As a result, he began his residency at CERN in July 2014 until 2015, during which he developed "supersymmetry" and "micro | macro".

paragraph: Section::::Visual Art.

paragraph: Ryoji Ikeda’s visual art projects are typically portrayed in art installations in museums such as the Museum of Contemporary Art in Tokyo and the Singapore Art Science Museum. His art pieces are known for their use of projecting abrasive, strobelike data visualizations, as well as sound in “raw” states, much like that which is characteristic of his music. According to Ikeda, his intention with his artwork is “always polarized by concepts of the ‘beautiful’ and the ‘sublime’”(Wilson, 204). Most of his art installations and projects are intended to be very much open to interpretation, as Ikeda’s claims that it’s for the audience’s eyes, ears, and bodies (Lindholm). However, many of his installations are inspired by concepts in particle physics and quantum mechanics, such as in Supersymmetry and Superposition, likely inspired by his time during a residency at CERN, the European Organization for Nuclear Research (ryojiikeda.com). Ryoji Ikeda’s career in visual artwork, having started in 1998, is much longer than his career in music of which his first recordings weren’t published until 2008. Despite how far apart his careers in both mediums had their start, often times the two forms are intertwined in his installations, with the background sound to many of the installations being either unique to the exhibition, or taken straight from an album by Ikeda. The earliest piece of visual art being credited to him being a piece titled 0°, as part of an installation titled Date / Place which was displayed in the Dutch city of Rotterdam in 1998 (ryojiikeda.com). In 2014, he was awarded the Collide International Award in collaboration with Ars Electronica, an award that awards the recipient with a residency at CERN, with the intention being to “give artists the opportunity to encounter the multi-dimensional world of particle physics”, according to Arts at Cern.“His most recent art project is titled X-Verse, consisting of the pieces Code-verse and Point of No Return. As of 2019, the project has been displayed in Centre Pompidou in Paris, and the Garage Museum of Contemporary Art in Moscow (ryojiikeda.com). Ryoji Ikeda has been a part of a collaborative group exhibitions such as Artistes and Robots and Experience Traps, but the vast majority of his material is solo. As of 2019, Ryoji Ikeda has been involved in over fifteen different solo art projects (ryojiikeda.com).

paragraph: Hovannes Adamian

paragraph: Hovhannes (Ivan) Abgari Adamian (5 February 1879, Baku – 12 September 1932, Leningrad) was an Soviet Armenian engineer, an author of more than 20 inventions. The first experimental color television was shown in London in 1928 based on Adamian's tricolor principle, and he is recognized as one of the founders of color television.

paragraph: Section::::Biography.

paragraph: Adamian was born in a family of an Armenian merchant and petrol businessman. In 1897, he finished his schooling in Baku and moved to Switzerland. He studied at the universities of Zurich and Berlin. He designed systems of black and white, as well as color televisions. Developing theoretical works by other co-founders of color television like M. Le Blanc and P. Nipkov, Adamian was the first in the world to achieve practical results in color television and to carry out color television transfers. The first color television project is claimed by him, and was patented in Germany on 31 March 1908, patent № 197183, then in Britain, on 1 April 1908, patent № 7219, in France (patent № 390326) and in Russia in 1910 (patent № 17912).

paragraph: In 1925 in Yerevan, Adamian demonstrated "Eristavi", a device for broadcasting color images. Supported by his friends and assistants from Armenia, he succeeded in demonstrating on a screen a number of color figures and patterns transferred from the laboratory next door.

paragraph: In 1913, Adamian returned to Saint Petersburg, Russia. He had several long-term trips to Armenia before dying in 1932 in Leningrad. He was buried in the local Armenian cemetery and, in 1970, his remains were brought to Yerevan, to the Pantheon of famous Armenians.

paragraph: Gyrth Godwinson

paragraph: Gyrth Godwinson (Old English: Gyrð Godƿinson) ( 1032 – 14 October 1066) was the fourth son of Earl Godwin, and thus a younger brother of Harold Godwinson. He went with his eldest brother Sweyn into exile to Flanders in 1051, but unlike Swegen he was able to return with the rest of the clan the following year. Along with his brothers Harold and Tostig, Gyrth was present at his father's death-bed.

paragraph: Section::::Biography.

paragraph: Following the death of his father in April 1053, the Godwinsons managed to retain their hold on England. Harold inherited the Earldom of Wessex and became second in power only to the king. Gyrth was made Earl of East Anglia, Cambridgeshire and Oxfordshire some time between 1055 and 1057. Together with his brother Leofwine's Earldoms of Kent, Essex, Middlesex, Hertford, Surrey and probably Buckinghamshire the Godwinsons now controlled the entirety of East England.

paragraph: According to Orderic Vitalis and William of Malmesbury, Gyrth tried (ineffectually) to prevent Harold from engaging William of Normandy in battle, saying that he instead could lead the English forces and that he must stay in London to lead another battle and reminding him of the oath which he had sworn to William. Harold, however, ignored Gyrth's advice. Gyrth fought at and was killed in the Battle of Hastings alongside his brothers Harold and Leofwine.

paragraph: Section::::Popular culture.

paragraph: Gyrth was portrayed by actor Malcolm Webster in the two-part BBC TV play "Conquest" (1966), part of the series "Theatre 625".

paragraph: Leofwine Godwinson (c. 1035 – 14 October 1066) was a younger brother of King Harold Godwinson, the fifth son of Earl Godwin.

paragraph: When the Godwin family was exiled from England in 1051 he went with Harold to Ireland, where they were sheltered and helped by Diarmait mac Máel na mBó, King of Leinster. He would have returned with the rest of the family the following year, but was not present at the death-bed of his father in April 1053.

paragraph: Charles Hayward (musician)

paragraph: Charles Hayward (born 1951) is an English drummer and was a founding member of the experimental rock groups This Heat and Camberwell Now.

paragraph: Guillaume Philibert Duhesme

paragraph: Guillaume Philibert, 1st Count Duhesme (7 July 1766 in Mercurey (formerly "Bourgneuf"), Burgundy – 20 June 1815 near Waterloo) was a French general during the Napoleonic Wars.

paragraph: Section::::Revolution.

paragraph: Duhesme studied law and in 1792 was made colonel of a free corps by Charles-François Dumouriez, which he raised by his own means. As commander at Roermond, he held the post of Herstal, an important passage to the Netherlands, and burned the bridge of Leau after the defeat at Neerwinden on 18 March 1793. He then crossed the Schelde and at the Battle of Villeneuve rallied the fleeing infantry (6 July), for which action he was made brigadier general.

paragraph: He also contributed greatly to the victory at the Fleurus on 26 July 1794 and besieged Maastricht under Kléber, and was promoted to general of division. He fought in the Vendée in 1795, and later at the Rhine, where he forced the passage over the river on 20 April 1797 below Kehl. In 1798 he was given a command in Italy under Championnet, participated at the siege of Naples and took control of Calabria and Apulia.

paragraph: In 1800, Duhesme led a corps in Napoleon's Army of the Reserve in the Marengo campaign. At first this command included the divisions of Louis Boudet and Louis Henri Loison. After a brilliant campaign that included the capture of Milan and other cities, his corps was made up of Loison, Lorge and Lapoype's divisions. When Napoleon fought Melas's Austrian army at Marengo, Duhesme's corps defended the Po valley.

paragraph: Section::::Empire.

paragraph: Duhesme was made a count and knight of the Légion d'honneur. In 1805, he led the 4th division of André Masséna's Italian Army at the Battle of Caldiero.

paragraph: In 1808, Duhesme led a corps in Napoleon's ill-fated seizure of Spain. He distinguished himself in the capture of Barcelona. After he persuaded the Spanish governor to admit a convoy of sick Frenchmen, his fully armed grenadiers leapt from their stretchers and captured the castle. Later, he successfully defended the city against a Spanish blockade. In 1810, after accusations by Marshal Augereau of allowing plundering and other transgressions, he was recalled in disgrace.

paragraph: In 1813, he was employed again as governor of the fortress of Kehl. He commanded a division under Marshal Victor at La Rothière, Montereau and Arcis-sur-Aube. Following Napoleon I's first abdication in 1814, he was made Inspector General of Infantry. In 1815, he joined Napoleon after his return from Elba and was made commander of the Young Guard Division of the Imperial Guard and fought at Ligny. He was mortally wounded while defending the village of Plancenoit at the Battle of Waterloo and died on 20 June 1815. In "Les Misérables" Victor Hugo describes his death: "The general of the Young Guard, Duhesme, nabbed at the door of an inn in Genappe, handed over his sword to a hussar of Death, who took the sword and killed the prisoner. Victory was completed by the assassination of the vanquished."

paragraph: Section::::Works.

paragraph: Duhesme also wrote a noted tract, "Essai historique de l'infanterie légère" (Historical Essay on Light Infantry) (Lyon 1806; 3. Aufl., Par. 1864)

paragraph: Mrs Gardner

paragraph: Mrs Gardner or Sarah Cheney (fl. 1763–1795) was a British comedic actress and playwright.

paragraph: Section::::Life.

paragraph: Sarah Cheney first came to notice when she appeared at the Drury Lane Theatre in October 1763 in a play by William Congreve. She worked regularly, commanding two pounds a week, and, in 1765, she appeared in the first performance of Samuel Foote's play, "The Commissary", at the Haymarket Theatre. That year, she met the actor William Gardner and they were married. The new couple took up roles in Foote's "Company of Comedians". In the autumn, she was appearing as "Mrs Gardner" in the title role of "Polly Honeycombe" at Covent Garden with her new husband. Gardner moved in with Foote, as his housekeeper, at some point.

paragraph: In the eleven years from 1766 to 1777, she appeared in comic roles for Foote but she had her best success in summer roles at the Haymarket, including The Nabob. It was said that her acting skills were less apparent after Foote died in 1777, and it was then that Gardner turned to playwriting. She wrote and appeared in "The Advertisement", or, "A Bold Stroke for a Husband" at The Haymarket, but this was not acclaimed. In the same year, she separated from her husband and gained custody of their children. William Gardner went to work in numerous secondary roles and died in 1790 whilst his wife was abroad.

paragraph: Gardner went to the Caribbean for four years and returned to act again in London before taking up work in Dublin. It was said that she arranged her own death and funeral to avoid paying debts. In 1789, she was appearing in New York having travelled there via Jamaica. In 1795, there was a benefit for her at The Haymarket after she had appeared there in her own play entitled "Mrs Doggrell in her Attitudes", or, "The Effects of a West India Ramble". Her death is unknown.

paragraph: Sold as a child by his parents, Malik was brought to India as a slave. While in India he created a mercenary force numbering up to 1500 men. It was based in the Deccan region and was hired by local kings. Malik became a popular Prime Minister of the Ahmadnagar Sultanate, showing administrative acumen. He is also regarded as a pioneer in guerilla warfare in the region. He is credited with carrying out a revenue settlement of much of the Deccan, which formed the basis for subsequent settlements. He is a figure of veneration to the Siddis of Gujarat. He humbled the might of the Mughals and Adil Shah of Bijapur and raised the low status of the Nizam Shah.

paragraph: Section::::Early life.

paragraph: Malik Ambar was born in 1548 as "Chapu", a birth-name suggesting that he was born in the Harar region in Eastern Ethiopia.

paragraph: Between the 14th and 17th centuries, the Christian Abyssinian Kingdom (led by the Solomonic dynasty) and adjacent Muslim states gathered much of their slaves from non-Abrahamic communities inhabiting regions like Kambata, Damot and Hadya, which were located on the southern flanks of their territory. Malik Ambar was among the people who were converted to Islam, and later dispatched abroad to serve as a warrior. Both the Solomonic dynasty and the Adal Sultanate were devastated after two decades of war with each other. According to the "Futuhat-i `Adil Shahi", Malik Ambar was sold into slavery by his parents. He ended up in al-Mukha in Yemen, where he was sold again for 20 ducats and was taken to the slave market in Baghdad, where he was sold a third time to the Qadi al-Qudat of Mecca and again in Baghdad to Mir Qasim al-Baghdadi, who eventually took him to south-central India. He was described by the Dutch merchant Pieter van den Broecke as, "a black kafir from Abyssinia with a stern Roman face."

paragraph: Section::::Career.

paragraph: Malik Ambar was the regent of the Nizamshahi dynasty of Ahmednagar from 1607 to 1626. During this period he increased the strength and power of Murtaza Nizam Shah II and raised a large army. He changed the capital from Paranda to Junnar and founded a new city, Khadki which was later on changed to Aurangabad by the Emperor Aurangzeb when he invaded Deccan around 1658 to 1707.

paragraph: Malik Ambar is said to be one of the proponents of guerrilla warfare in the Deccan region. Malik Ambar assisted Shah Jahan wrestle power in Delhi from his stepmother, Nur Jahan, who had ambitions of seating her son-in-law on the throne. Malik Ambar and Shahaji (father of Shivaji) had also restored some credibility to the Sultans of Ahmadnagar, who had been subdued by the earlier Mughals (Akbar had annexed Ahmadnagar). However, he was defeated later when Khurram, son of Jahangir led a massive army against the dwindling Ahmednagar. Later Malik Ambar offered full control of Berar and Ahmadnagar to the Mughal as a sign of surrender

paragraph: Section::::Career.:Second conflict with Mughal.

paragraph: Malik Ambar defeated the Mughal General Khan Khanan many times and often attacked Ahmadnagar. Lakhuji Jadhavrao, Maloji Bhosale, Shahaji Bhosale and other Maratha chiefs had gained great prominence during this period. With the help of these Maratha Chiefs, Malik Ambar had captured Ahmednagar Fort and town from the Mughals. But in one of the battles Malik Ambar was defeated by the Mughals and had to surrender the fort of Ahmadnagar. Many Maratha Chiefs and especially Lakhuji Jadhavrao and Ranoji Wable joined the Mughals after this. Shah Jahan once again laid a crushing blow to Malik Ambar in one of the battles and further decreased his power.

paragraph: Section::::Death.

paragraph: He died in 1626 at the age of 80. Malik Ambar had by his Siddi wife, Bibi Karima two sons; Fateh Khan and Changiz Khan and two daughters.

paragraph: Fateh Khan succeeded his father as the regent of the Nizam Shahs. However, he did not possess his predecessor's political and military prowess. Through a series of internal struggles within the nobility (which included Fateh Khan assassinating his nephew, Sultan Burhan Nizam Shah III), the sultanate fell to the Mughal Empire within ten years of Ambar's death.

paragraph: One of his daughters was married to a prince of the Ahmednagar royal family who was later, through Malik Ambar's aid crowned as Sultan Murtaza Nizam Shah II. The eldest and youngest daughters respectively were called Shahir Bano and Azija Bano, the latter of whom married a nobleman named Siddi Abdullah.

paragraph: The final daughter was married to the Circassian Commander of the Ahmednagar army, Muqarrab Khan who later became a general under the Mughal Emperor and received the title Rustam Khan Bahadur Firauz Jang. He became famous for his involvement in several important military campaigns, such as the Kandahar Wars against Shah Abbas of Persia. He was killed by Prince Murad Baksh in the Battle of Samugarh during the Mughal War of succession in 1658.

paragraph: Section::::Legacy.

paragraph: There are conflicting perspectives on Ambar's long-term impact in Deccan, and its surrounding Indian states. Historians who subscribe to Harris's point of view credit the former slave with creating a long-lasting legacy of African's rising to power in the eastern regions of the world, namely India. Others agree more with historians like Richard Eaton. He cites Ambar's military prowess as the reason he rose to such influence during his life, but claims that a string of decisive defeats at the end of his career instigated distrust and resentment amongst those in his close administration. Eaton and his proponents claim Ambar's journey is an impressive story of success, and gave African's representation in India for a short while, but also believe his lack of positive leadership in the final years of his tenure prevented him from solidifying his influence, as his successors quickly worked to reverse many of Ambar's policies. Regardless of his posthumous impact on the Deccan, and Indian states generally, it cannot be disputed Ambar was an avid supporter of education and a patron of the arts. Historians Joseph E. Harris and Chand cite Ambar's patron ship of the arts and learning as a shining achievement of his tenure as Malik of Deccan.

paragraph: Malik Ambar cherished strong love and ability for architecture. Aurangabad was Ambar's architectural achievement and creation. Malik Ambar the founder of the city was always referred to by harsh names by Sultan Jahangir. In his memoirs, he never mentions his name without prefixing epithets like wretch, cursed fellow, Habshi, Ambar Siyari, black Ambar, and Ambar Badakhtur. Some historians believe that those words came out of frustration as Malik Ambar had resisted the powerful Mughals and kept them away from Deccan. "

paragraph: Section::::Legacy.:Foundation of Aurangabad.

paragraph: He founded/inhabited the city of Khirki in 1610. After his death in 1626, the name was changed to Fatehpur by his son and heir Fateh Khan. When Aurangzeb, the Mughal Emperor invaded Deccan in the year 1653, he made Fatehpur his capital and renamed it as Aurangabad. Since then it is known as Aurangabad. Two imperial capitals Viz. ‘Pratisthana’ (Paithan) i.e. the capital of Satavahanas (2nd B.C. to 3rd A.D.) and Devagiri - Daulatabad the capital of Yadavas and Muhammad bin Tughluq are located within the limits of Aurangabad.

paragraph: Section::::Legacy.:Aurangabad canal system.

paragraph: "Malik Ambar is especially famous for the "Nahr" or "Neher", the canal water supply system of the city called Khadki now known as Aurangabad. Malik Ambar completed the "Neher" within fifteen months, spending a nominal sum of two and a half lakh "Rupiyahs". This city is situated on the banks of Kham, a small perennial stream which takes its rise in the neighbouring hills."

paragraph: Water was supplied to the city of Khadki from the famous Panchakki (Pan from Hindi "paani" means water and Chakki means a treadmill) which drove the water down the "Nahr e Ambari" (Ambar's canal) from the stream called Kham referred earlier here, to the city. The blades of the Panchakki used to rotate by the water falling on them from that stream and with the aid of a wooden valve turn the flow into that canal, "the Nahr", for the city.
