paragraph: Yolanda of Flanders

paragraph: Yolanda of Flanders, Marchioness of Namur (; 1175 – August 1219) was Empress of the Latin Empire in Constantinople in her own right from 1216 to 1219 and from 1217 as a sole ruler, after her spouse Peter II of Courtenay was captured and imprisoned before he could reach Constantinople. She was ruling Marchioness of Namur from 1212 until 1219.

paragraph: Section::::Biography.

paragraph: Yolanda was the daughter of Baldwin V, Count of Hainault, and Countess Margaret I of Flanders. Two of her brothers, Baldwin I and then Henry, were emperors in Constantinople.

paragraph: In 1212, Yolanda became Marchioness of Namur after her brother, Marquis Philip I.

paragraph: After the death of her brother emperor Henry in 1216 there was a brief period without an emperor, before Peter was elected to succeed her brother. On their way there, Peter sent Yolanda ahead to Constantinople, while he fought the Despotate of Epirus, during which he was captured. Because his fate was unknown (although he was probably killed), Yolanda governed Constantinople as a sole ruler for two years.

paragraph: She allied with the Bulgarians against the various Byzantine successor states, and was able to make peace with Theodore I Lascaris of the Empire of Nicaea, who married her daughter. However, she soon died, in 1219.

paragraph: Section::::Legacy.

paragraph: Following Yolanda's death, her second son, Robert of Courtenay, became emperor because her oldest son, Philip, did not want the throne. As Robert was still in France at the time, there was technically no emperor until he arrived in 1221.

paragraph: Yolanda was, in her own right, Marchioness of Namur, which she inherited from her brother, Marquis Philip I, in 1212 and left to her eldest son, Marquis Philip II, when she went to Constantinople in 1216.

paragraph: El Solitario

paragraph: Roberto González Cruz (May 22, 1946 – April 6, 1986) was a Mexican professional wrestler who wrestled under the name El Solitario. During his career he held both the NWA World Light Heavyweight Championship and the NWA World Middleweight Championship. After achieving stardom in Mexico's oldest promotion, Empresa Mexicana de Lucha Libre, Gonzalez Cruz joined the breakaway promotion, the Universal Wrestling Association, where he held four more world championships in the early 1980s.

paragraph: Section::::Early life.

paragraph: Gonzalez Cruz came from a working-class family and was the youngest of seven children. At the age of twelve, his older brother Jesús, who was also a professional wrestler, began teaching him basic wrestling moves. In 1959, Gonzalez Cruz's brother was killed in the ring while wrestling as Othon Banzica, but rather than becoming deterred, Gonzalez Cruz drew inspiration from his death and dedicated himself to lucha libre. He began training under the tutelage of Joe el Hermoso and made his wrestling debut in 1960 at the age of fourteen.

paragraph: Section::::Professional wrestling career.

paragraph: Gonzalez Cruz was initially billed as being the son of the legendary wrestler El Santo but later changed his name to El Zica II in honor of his deceased brother.

paragraph: Gonzalez Cruz moved to Tijuana to pursue his career as a luchador but had a difficult time finding regular work as he was young and still small at the time. He continued working local arenas until he began making a name for himself as he grew physically and refined his wrestling skills. Cruz realized that in order to take his career to the next level, he would have to select a more crowd pleasing name and character. He chose the name "El Solitario", derived from the popular comic book character "El Llanero Solitario" ("The Lone Ranger"'). He also adopted his now trademark gold and black colored costume and golden mask with a fringe around the eyes representing the Lone Ranger's mask. After the change, promoters and fans took notice of the new dynamic wrestler.

paragraph: On November 16, 1965, El Solitario faced Panchito Ramirez in Arena Coliseo located in Guadalajara. He would make his debut in Arena Coliseo Mexico City on September 6, 1966, when he defeated Tony Reyna. In 1966, El Solitario defeated and unmasked Águila Tapatía, that was followed by a win over Mano Blanca. He won his first world title when he defeated Occident Welterweight champion Luís González.

paragraph: El Solitario was now working for EMLL, Mexico's largest promotion company. He was catapulted into stardom within the lucha libre world when he defeated veteran Rey Mendoza in a mask vs hair match on December 13, 1968. A few weeks later, he defeated another legend, Rene Guajardo, and also took his hair in another wager match.

paragraph: El Solitario formed a wrestling trio alongside Dr. Wagner and Angel Blanco; the group was known as "La Ola Blanca" ("The White Wave"). He was wrestling as a rudo at this time but when his partners Dr. Wagner and Angel Blanco turned on him, he became one of the most popular tecnicos of his era. It also started a legendary rivalry between himself, Wagner and Blanco. He continued wrestling as an individual during this time, and in 1969, won the NWA Middleweight world title by defeating El Rayo de Jalisco. In 1970, El Solitario won the NWA Light Heavyweight title by defeating Ray Mendoza. In 1972, he unmasked his rival, Angel Blanco, in the ring.

paragraph: El Solitario was one of the first stars to leave EMLL to join the Universal Wrestling Association (UWA) promotion, which was run by Francisco Flores and Ray Mendoza. He won the UWA's first Junior Heavyweight title in 1982. He also toured Japan in 1972, 1979, and 1981, where he would face and team up with premiere stars such as Tiger Mask and Tatsumi Fujinami, along with other Mexican wrestlers such as Chavo Guerrero and El Canek. He was unable to fully exhibit his wrestling skills during his tours, as the junior's division formula in Japan consisted of popular Japanese wrestlers facing off against foreign heels. However, he gained a following outside of Mexico as a result of those tours.

paragraph: While in Mexico, he remained one of the most popular headlining stars throughout the country. In the early 1980s, he formed a short lived trios team with Anibal and Villano III, the group was known as "Los Tres Caballeros" that ended when Anibal turned on El Solitario. He won the NWA Junior Light Heavyweight title in 1980 and 1981. In 1982, he won the NWA Light Heavyweight title. That same year, he participated in El Santo's final career match when he teamed up with legends El Santo, Gory Guerrero, and Huracan Ramirez to defeat El Signo, Negro Navarro, El Texano, and Perro Aguayo. Perhaps his biggest match took place on December 1, 1985, when he defeated and unmasked Dr. Wagner in a mask vs mask match.

paragraph: Section::::Death.

paragraph: El Solitario had suffered injuries during the latter part of his career, resulting in several infections and illnesses. During a match with Fishman, he re-injured himself and was taken to the hospital while complaining of abdominal pain. His doctors initially misdiagnosed his condition, and it was later discovered that he was suffering from internal bleeding that required immediate surgery. On April 6, 1986, at the age of 39, El Solitario died while on the operating table as a result of a cardiac arrest.

paragraph: Although El Solitario's life was fairly short, his professional career spanned over twenty-five years and he is regarded as one of the greatest Mexican professional wrestlers of all time. He was inducted into the Wrestling Observer Newsletter Hall of Fame in 1996.

paragraph: His son, El Hijo del Solitario, made his wrestling debut in 1990.

paragraph: Ryan Shuck

paragraph: Ryan Christopher Shuck (born April 11, 1973) is an American singer, songwriter, guitarist, composer, producer, and entrepreneur. He has been a founding member of the industrial rock band Orgy. As of now, he is the leader of the Electronic rock / indietronica / dance project Julien-K and lead singer of the rock band Adema. He was also the guitarist and backing vocalist of Dead By Sunrise, the alternative rock side project of Linkin Park frontman Chester Bennington. Growing up, Shuck played in the Bakersfield-based rock band Sexart, alongside Korn frontman Jonathan Davis, Adema bassist Dave DeRoo, and Videodrone frontman Ty Elam. Aside from his musical career, Shuck also owns four popular restaurants in the Orange County, CA area and a recording studio in Long Beach, CA.

paragraph: Section::::Early life.

paragraph: Shuck was born and raised in the tiny town Taft in California. From his earliest years, he had been an artist. As a child, he painted with his grandmother, and then sold his paintings at local art shows where people bought the painting thinking they had been painted by an experienced adult artist.

paragraph: At an age of 16, Shuck finally discovered music for himself when he first picked up the guitar. He soon moved on to experimenting with keyboards and other electronic instruments and learning that he could sing, while simultaneously listening to strange combinations of music from the likes of Depeche Mode, Metallica, The Cure, Slayer, Run DMC, and Kraftwerk. These odd combinations of music would influence Shuck for years to come. Shuck had stated in later interviews that he always thought they went together beautifully and didn't understand why there were so many lines dividing styles of music.

paragraph: In order to combine his love for music, design and fashion, Shuck left his hometown Taft at the age of 18 in order to move to Bakersfield and enroll at a Cosmetology school to become a hairdresser.

paragraph: Section::::Music career.

paragraph: Section::::Music career.:Early musical projects.

paragraph: After relocating to Bakersfield for his studies, Shuck made a new friend, Jonathan Davis. They both shared their love of fashion, heavy music, and electronic/dance music, so they formed the alternative metal band Sexart, along with Ray "Chaka" Solis on guitar, David DeRoo (Adema) on bass, and Dennis Shinn on drums. On the only released Sexart song, "Inside," they were joined by Ty Elam (Videodrone) on vocals.

paragraph: Davis left the band in 1993 to join Korn and had major success with songs that were also originally co-written by Shuck ("Blind," "Daddy"). Shuck also eventually left and went on to form the band Orgy.

paragraph: Section::::Music career.:The Orgy era.

paragraph: Shuck found his first major mainstream success as a founding member of the Los Angeles band Orgy. The band, which also consisted of the other two founders Jay Gordon (vocals) and Amir Derakh (guitar, g-synth) and also Paige Haley (bass) and Bobby Hewitt (drums), was eventually signed by Korn to their Warner Bros. Records imprint, Elementree Records. Dubbed "death-pop," Orgy blended electronic music with modern alternative rock at a time when the rest of popular music was dominated by grunge bands. Orgy, who had been lovingly described by some magazines as "The Cure on cocaine," went on to sell over three million records, receive platinum awards, and hit top positions in the Billboard charts, giving Shuck a taste of real music industry success and massive MTV and radio exposure.

paragraph: They were also featured on several soundtracks for popular movies, such as "Not Another Teen Movie", "Charlie's Angels", "Scream III", and "Zoolander".

paragraph: During the work on the band's third album "Punk Statik Paranoia", Shuck and his long-time partner and close friend Amir Derakh began to realize that they clashed with singer Jay Gordon regarding the future direction of the band. While Shuck and Derakh wanted Orgy to pursue a more experimental electro-pop and dance path, Gordon wanted the band to be heavier with more rock influence. That is when Shuck and Derakh began the "Julien-K experiment".

paragraph: Section::::Music career.:Julien-K.

paragraph: With Julien-K, Shuck finally found the outlet to do the music that he always wanted to do – "passionate electronic music." So far, the band (which, besides Shuck, nowadays consists of Amir Derakh on guitar, Anthony Valcic on synths and bass, and Frank Zummo on drums) has released two albums – "Death To Analog" (released on March 10, 2009 via Metropolis Records and executive produced by Linkin Park's Chester Bennington) and "We're Here With You" (released on January 23, 2012 via Julien-K INC). "Death To Analog" made it to the top 10 of the Billboard Dance/Electronic album charts and "We're Here With You" hit #4 in the US iTunes charts – both in the first week of release.

paragraph: In the early days of the band, Julien-K also recorded two tracks for the video games "Sonic Heroes" and "Shadow the Hedgehog": "This Machine" and "Waking Up", respectively. Their song "Technical Difficulties" was also featured on the official soundtrack of the movie "Transformers", and they were featured on the "" soundtrack with a remix for the song "Morning After," on which they collaborated with Chester Bennington from Linkin Park. Besides, they were responsible for the whole film score of the video game "" and to date their songs were remixed by several well-known DJs such as deadmau5, Benjamin Vial, Bryan Black of Motor, and Z-Listers.

paragraph: In 2012, Julien-K did the score for the comedy movie "Matt's Chance" (directed by Nicholas Gyeney). Their compositions recently won the award for "Best Score" at the Bloody Hero International Film Festival.

paragraph: Up until now, the band has also been touring all over the United States and Europe with big names such as Linkin Park, My Chemical Romance, HIM, Evanescence, Papa Roach, The Sounds, and Filter. They started touring in 2007 before even having an album out and with no press kit and no media push.

paragraph: Section::::Music career.:Dead By Sunrise.

paragraph: Apart from their own musical endeavors, Shuck and the other band members of Julien-K have also been working alongside Linkin Park co-frontman Chester Bennington on his solo project Dead By Sunrise, which he had been working on since the year 2005. Their debut album "Out of Ashes" was released on October 13, 2009 and hit the top 30 in the "Billboard" 200 album charts and the top 10 in the Billboard Modern Rock charts.

paragraph: Several tours and performances around the globe followed the release (the highlight having been an appearance at the Summer Sonic Festival in Japan and in an interview in 2012 it was revealed that there are plans to continue the project in the near future.

paragraph: Section::::Music career.:Other musical appearances.

paragraph: Besides playing in his actual bands, Shuck also contributed guitar parts to the all-star project The Wondergirls which featured Stone Temple Pilots frontman Scott Weiland, Mark McGrath of Sugar Ray, Ian Astbury of The Cult, Shannon Leto of Thirty Seconds to Mars, Doug Ardito of Puddle of Mudd, Ken Andrews of Failure, Martyn LeNoble of Porno for Pyros, and Troy Van Leeuwen of Queens of the Stone Age.

paragraph: He was also a member of the fun project of Chester Bennington called Bucket Of Weenies which only had a handful live performances, e.g. at the Club Tattoo Anniversary Party in 2005 and 2006.

paragraph: Shuck also played guitar on the Hypno-Submissive Remix for the Coal Chamber song "Sway" and in the song "Kerosene" by nu metal band Drown.

paragraph: Besides, he contributed guest vocals to a remix of Mindless Self Indulgence's song "What Do They Know?", to some songs by Amir Derakh's tech house project Circuit Freq, to Vandal's song "Fail With Grace", to an EP of electronic project Virgin Tears, and to some songs of the newcomer act Decode Radio whose debut EP "The Death Rattle" (released via Circuit Freq Records) he also produced in his own studio.

paragraph: On October 27, 2017 he performed One Step Closer with Jonathan Davis at Linkin Park and Friends – Celebrate Life in Honor of Chester Bennington, reuniting him with his former Sexart bandmate on stage for the first time.

paragraph: Section::::Music career.:Adema.

paragraph: In 2019, Ryan has joined nu-metal band Adema as their lead singer.

paragraph: Section::::Music career.:Endorsements.

paragraph: Ever since his playing in Orgy, Shuck has been endorsed by Yamaha Guitars and helped create his own signature 7-string guitar model called AES RS-7.

paragraph: With Julien-K, he is currently endorsed by Orange Amps and König & Meyer microphone and keyboard stands. In the past, Julien-K collaborated with designer Jeffrey Sebelia (known as the winner of the third season of the reality show "Project Runway") and his Cosa Nostra clothing line in order to create individual outfits.

paragraph: Section::::Musical style and influence.

paragraph: Shuck's first musical influences were heavy metal bands such as Metallica and Slayer, until he discovered electronic music at an age of 14 or 15 when he first saw music videos from the new wave genre at a dance club in San Luis Obispo. This key experience really changed his life and made him turn away from heavy metal to more electronic music. With his first project Sexart, Shuck also had a great impact on the development of the genre nowadays known as "nu metal". The band also laid the foundation for several successful musical careers.

paragraph: Being a member of Orgy, Shuck was able to define a completely new genre called "death-pop" while playing a very synth-oriented sound that one had never heard before, by means of using instruments and effects that had never been used in music before.

paragraph: Shuck's current project Julien-K also has a high focus on visual aspects, fashion, design, and presenting a certain lifestyle. The band always tries to include its sense for aesthetics into their music and into an extraordinary stage setting that makes them stand out from their contemporaries.

paragraph: Section::::Non-musical activities.

paragraph: Section::::Non-musical activities.:Acting.

paragraph: In 2001, Shuck had a small role as the character Pride in the horror movie "The Forsaken".

paragraph: As a member of Orgy, he also played himself during the episode "Sin Francisco" of the popular fantasy series "Charmed" wherein the band performed their song "Opticon" live.

paragraph: Section::::Non-musical activities.:Modeling.

paragraph: In the Orgy days, Shuck did some modeling for Calvin Klein Jeans.

paragraph: Afterwards, he also modeled for the clothing lines Howe and Ve'cel.

paragraph: Section::::Non-musical activities.:Business activities.

paragraph: Apart from his musical endeavors, Shuck is a passionate entrepreneur who currently owns four successful restaurants in Orange County, CA – The Gypsy Den in Costa Mesa, Santa Ana, and Anaheim, and the Lola Gaspar in Santa Ana. The Gypsy Den chain has been getting rave reviews by renowned local magazines such as OC Weekly and was recently awarded with the "Certificate of Appreciation" by the Children's Bureau for its generous contributions. Shuck is currently in the process of opening two new restaurant concepts in Costa Mesa (PBLC TRDE) and Long Beach (Daily Communal).

paragraph: He also owns a recording studio in Long Beach where he not only produces material for his own musical projects but also for up-and-coming artists such as Decode Radio and Battle Tapes. He is also heavily involved in the business activities of the band's own company called Julien-K INC. and in the business side of Derakh's and Valcic's independent record label Circuit Freq Records.

paragraph: At the beginning of the new century, Shuck was also involved in the setup of the technology and media company Level 7 LLC, alongside Broadcom co-founder Henry Nicholas. Unfortunately, unforeseen legal issues prevented the release of Julien-K's debut album "Death to Analog" through Level 7. Before that, Shuck had also successfully launched his own fashion line called Replicant Clothing, alongside Head (Korn), with strong support by artists such as Chester Bennington and Stephen Carpenter (Deftones). This experience also led Shuck to have a great impact on the creation of Chester Bennington's clothing line Ve'cel in 2006.

paragraph: Zvonimir Rogoz

paragraph: Zvonimir Rogoz (10 October 1887 – 6 February 1988) was a Croatian actor.

paragraph: A native of Zagreb, Rogoz became famous in Czechoslovakia between the two world wars. He appeared in many Czechoslovakian films of the 1930s, but the best known of them all was the 1933 erotic drama "Ecstasy", featuring Hedy Lamarr, who shocked the public by appearing nude.

paragraph: From the 1950s onward, Rogoz appeared in Croatian films, but the younger generations of Croatia remember him best for his private life: he fathered a child at the age of 96. This and other events became the subject of his autobiographical book "Mojih prvih 100 godina" ("My First 100 Years"). He died in Zagreb a few months after his 100th birthday.

paragraph: Edward Fiennes-Clinton, 18th Earl of Lincoln

paragraph: Edward Horace Fiennes-Clinton, 18th Earl of Lincoln (23 February 1913 – 7 July 2001) was an aristocratic Australian engineer, who succeeded to his family's earldom of Lincoln ("cr." 1572) by primogeniture upon the death in 1988 of his 10th cousin, the last Duke of Newcastle.

paragraph: Section::::Life.

paragraph: Born at Melbourne, Australia, in 1913, he was the elder son of Edward Henry Fiennes-Clinton, a Mate in the British Merchant Navy who emigrated to Australia in 1912 before serving with the 51st Battalion, Australian Imperial Force and being killed in action on 17 August 1916 during the First World War.

paragraph: His mother, Edith Annie, daughter of Captain Horace Guest, brought him up before remarrying, in 1923, Robert Johnston Lynn, a cousin of Deputy Speaker of the Northern Ireland House of Commons, Sir Robert Lynn.

paragraph: Educated at Hale School, an independent Anglican boarding school in Perth, Western Australia, Fiennes-Clinton then worked as a boilermaker, a welder's and machine-minder's assistant as well as a butcher at the Kalgoorlie Gold Mine.

paragraph: Section::::Story.

paragraph: Learning of his succession to the title apparently during a telephone call from a journalist with "The Daily Telegraph" newspaper in London, who began "Lord Lincoln, if I may be the first to address you so..." Fiennes-Clinton said he had known he might one day inherit the title, but had forgotten about it! Upon the journalist commenting that he seemed unexcited, Lincoln replied: "young man, I have lived for seventy-five years and I have learned to take things as they come". He did however seem disappointed to hear there was little else to inherit apart from the title itself.

paragraph: The Australian press was of course very much more excited at this news, and three camera crews appeared outside the new peer's flat at Elanora Villas, Bunbury, before more reporters arrived by helicopter. Soon after inheriting the Earldom, the new Lord Lincoln travelled to England, where he was warmly received by (among others) leading citizens of the City of Lincoln. The story was soon fictionalized as a storyline in the Australian soap opera "Neighbours".

paragraph: He later wrote an autobiography called "Memoirs of an Embryo Earl", published in 1992, and set about putting on record his formal right to the title with a view to taking his seat in the House of Lords.

paragraph: After being briefed on the workings of the Upper House by Lord Deedes, and being received at the College of Arms, his stated intention of joining the Conservative benches in the House of Lords was defeated by the House of Lords Act 1999. He thereafter had no automatic right to sit in the Lords, as all but 92 hereditary peers were removed from Parliament. His grandson, the 19th Earl, was later courted by New Labour.

paragraph: Lord Lincoln died in Western Australia on 7 July 2001.

paragraph: Section::::Family.

paragraph: In 1940, Fiennes-Clinton married Leila Ruth Fitzpatrick, "née" Millen, and they had two children, Patricia Ruth Fiennes-Clinton (born 1 February 1941, "now" Lady Patricia Elrick), and Edward Gordon Fiennes-Clinton (1943–99; styled "Lord Fynes", by courtesy).

paragraph: After his first wife died on 19 July 1947, Fiennes-Clinton on 3 December 1953 married Linda Alice, daughter of Rev Charles Creed and widow of James Anthony O'Brien; they had no children.

paragraph: When his 10th cousin, the 10th and last Duke of Newcastle, died on Christmas Day 1988, Fiennes-Clinton succeeded to His Grace's subsidiary title of Earl of Lincoln.

paragraph: His ancestor, Sir Henry Clinton, of Kirkstead, Lincolnshire, was the 2nd Earl of Lincoln's elder son by his second marriage; the 2nd Earl's eldest son's descendants went on to become Dukes of Newcastle.

paragraph: The family has served in public life since the 1st Baron Clinton was summoned to Parliament in 1299, whilst in the 18th century one family member twice-served as Prime Minister. The title of Baron Clinton, created by writ of summons, to which all descendants are in remainder, is now held by another distant branch of the Clinton family.

paragraph: Lord Lincoln's grandson Robert Edward Fiennes-Clinton (born 19 June 1972) is the 19th and present earl, a fellow of the Zoological Society of London, who lives in Perth.

paragraph: Ishikawa Goemon

paragraph: Section::::Life.

paragraph: There is little historical information on Goemon's life, and as he has become a folk hero, his background and origins have been widely speculated upon. In his first appearance in the historical annals, in the 1642 biography of Hideyoshi, Goemon was referred to simply as a thief. As his legend became popular, various anti-authoritarian exploits were attributed to him, including a supposed assassination attempt against the Oda clan warlord Oda Nobunaga.

paragraph: There are many versions of Goemon's background and accounts of his life. According to one of them, he was born as Sanada Kuranoshin in 1558 to a samurai family in service of the powerful Miyoshi clan in Iga Province. In 1573, when his father (possibly Ishikawa Akashi) was killed by the men of Ashikaga shogunate (in some versions his mother was also killed), the 15-year-old Sanada swore revenge and began training the arts of Iga ninjutsu under Momochi Sandayu (Momochi Tamba). He was however forced to flee when his master discovered Sanada's romance with one of his mistresses (but not before stealing a prized sword from his teacher). Some other sources state his name as and say he came from Kawachi Province and was not a "nukenin" (runaway ninja) at all. He then moved to the neighbouring Kansai region, where he formed and led a band of thieves and bandits as Ishikawa Goemon, robbing the rich feudal lords, merchants and clerics, and sharing the loot with the oppressed peasants. According to another version, which also attributed a failed poisoning attempt on Nobunaga's life to Goemon, he was forced to become a robber when the ninja networks were broken up.

paragraph: There are also several conflicting accounts of Goemon's public execution by boiling in front of the main gate of the Buddhist temple Nanzen-ji in Kyoto, including but not limited to the following ones:

paragraph: BULLET::::- Goemon tried to assassinate Hideyoshi to avenge the death of his wife Otaki and the capture of his son, Gobei. He sneaked into Fushimi Castle and entered Hideyoshi's room but knocked a bell off a table. The noise awoke the guards and Goemon was captured. He was sentenced to death by being boiled alive in an iron cauldron along with his very young son, but was able to save his son by holding him above his head. His son was then forgiven.

paragraph: BULLET::::- Goemon wanted to kill Hideyoshi because he was a despot. When he entered Hideyoshi's room, he was detected by a mystical incense burner. He was executed on October 8 along with his whole family by being boiled alive.

paragraph: BULLET::::- Goemon at first tried to save his son from the heat by holding him high above, but then suddenly plunged him deep into the bottom of the cauldron to kill him as quickly as possible. Then he stood with the body of the boy held high in the air in defiance of his enemies, until he eventually succumbed to pain and injuries and sank into the pot.

paragraph: Even the date of his death is uncertain, as some records say this took place in summer, while another dates it at October 8 (that is after middle of Japanese autumn). Before he died, Goemon wrote a famous farewell poem, saying that no matter what, there always shall be thieves. A tombstone dedicated to him is located in Daiunin temple in Kyoto. A large iron kettle-shaped bathtub is now called a "goemonburo" ("Goemon bath").

paragraph: Section::::In kabuki drama.

paragraph: Ishikawa Goemon is the subject of many classic kabuki plays. The only one still in performance today is "Kinmon Gosan no Kiri" ("The Golden Gate and the Paulownia Crest"), a five-act play written by Namiki Gohei in 1778. The most famous act is "Sanmon Gosan no Kiri" ("The Temple Gate and the Paulownia Crest") in which Goemon is first seen sitting on top of the Sanmon gate at Nanzen-ji. He is smoking an oversized silver pipe called a kiseru and exclaims "The spring view is worth a thousand gold pieces, or so they say, but 'tis too little, too little. These eyes of Goemon rate it worth ten thousand!". Goemon soon learns that his father, a Chinese man named Sō Sokei, was killed by Mashiba Hisayoshi (a popular kabuki alias for Hideyoshi) and he sets off to avenge his father's death. He also appears in some versions of the famous "Tale of the Forty-Seven Rōnin". In 1992, Goemon appeared in the kabuki series of Japanese postage stamps.

paragraph: Section::::In popular culture.

paragraph: There are generally two ways in which Goemon has been most often portrayed in the modern popular culture: either a young, slender ninja, or a powerfully-built, hulking Japanese bandit. He has been portrayed in literature, film, manga, anime, video games, and in other media.

paragraph: Goemon was a subject of several pre-WWII Japanese films such as "Ishikawa Goemon Ichidaiki" and "Ishikawa Goemon no Hoji". He is a villain in "Torawakamaru the Koga Ninja", and a tragic antagonist in "Fukurō no Shiro" (and in its remake "Owls' Castle", played by Takaya Kamikawa). He and his execution are mentioned in Ozu's silent film "A Story of Floating Weeds." He is the subject of the "Shinobi no Mono" novels and film series, starring Ichikawa Raizō VIII as Goemon in the first three installments. In the third "Shinobi no Mono" film, known in English as "Goemon Will Never Die", he escapes execution while another man is bribed to be boiled in his place. In the film "Goemon", he is portrayed by Yōsuke Eguchi and depicted as Nobunaga's most faithful follower and as associated with Hattori Hanzō as well as Kirigakure Saizō and Sarutobi Sasuke of Sanada Ten Braves. He is portrayed in the film "Roppa no Ôkubo Hikozaemon". He also appears in the taiga drama series for television, "Hideyoshi".

paragraph: Thomas Earp (sculptor)

paragraph: Thomas Earp (1828–1893) was a British sculptor and architectural carver who was active in the late 19th century. His best known work is his 1863 reproduction of the Eleanor Cross which stands at Charing Cross in London. He specialised in sculpture for Gothic Revival churches and worked closely with the architect George Edmund Street in the 1860s and 1870s.

paragraph: Section::::Early life and career.

paragraph: Earp was born in Nottingham, England. He studied at the Nottingham School of Art and Design and after completing his studies in the early 1850s went to work for the building contractor George Myers (who himself worked extensively for Pugin) in London.

paragraph: Around 1851 Earp founded his own architectural sculpture practice. By 1864 he was established at 1 Kennington Road, Lambeth, and employed 24 people. One of his projects, a marble and alabaster reredos, pulpit and baptismal font for the Church of St John the Baptist, Huntley, was particularly acclaimed and was exhibited at the Great Exhibition of 1862.

paragraph: Section::::Earp and Hobbs Ltd.

paragraph: Earp's practice expanded in 1864 when he went into partnership with another sculptor, Edwin Hobbs Senior (c.1841-1904). Together they opened premises in Chorlton-upon-Medlock, Manchester on Lower Mosley Street, later moving to premises in Moss Side. While Hobbs was based in Manchester, Earp worked from the London office at 32 Canterbury Place, Lambeth Walk. In the late 1880s the business was renamed Earp, Son and Hobbs, and by 1900 it was trading as Earp and Hobbs Ltd. Thomas Earp's son, Edgar Earp worked in the practice along with Edwin Hobbs Junior.

paragraph: Bisco Smith

paragraph: Bisco Smith is an New York based contemporary artist with roots in music and graffiti. Bisco works in a variety of formats, including canvas and large outdoor murals, and is recognized for his lyrical approach to deconstructed expressionism characterized by gestural marks and abstracted text that embody the energy of a moment. Using music as his muse, he approaches each canvas as unique opportunity to channel the expression of his inspiration by stripping his compositions to their fundamental essence of motion and rhythm. Bisco’s works, painted predominantly in black and white, embody the creative spontaneity that exists at the intersection of music and paint.

paragraph: Bisco Smith has exhibited art, performed music, painted murals, and partnered with creative brands and live events worldwide such as Adidas, Turner, SLS South Beach, and Coach New York. His work is regularly exhibited in major markets and is collected by both national and international collectors. Bisco Smith is a profiled artist in The Art of Writing Your Name: Urban Calligraphy and Beyond. In 2018, Bisco became an ambassador of Calligraffiti.

paragraph: Section::::Early life.

paragraph: Section::::Early life.:Graffiti.

paragraph: Between 1993 and 2013, Bisco wrote graffiti and is included in such books as "Broken Windows Graffiti NYC" and "Burning New York" by James and Karla Murray, "Fresh Paint NYC" by Billy Schon, and "The Rise of Legal Graffiti in New York and Beyond" (2017) written by Ronald Kramer, where the artist's views on ethics within the practice are quoted.

paragraph: Section::::Early life.:Music.

paragraph: Bisco entered into the music and disc-jockey world as another creative outlet that aligned with his graffiti—the more he wrote graffiti, the more he was inspired to freestyle rap and the more he rapped the more motivated he was to write more graffiti. In addition to writing and performing his own music, Bisco designed album covers and art directed projects for Definitive Jux, Ninja Tune, and Eastern Conference Records.

paragraph: Section::::Visual Art.

paragraph: Drawing on his background painting in the streets, Bisco often composes his works using materials like household paint, rollers, spray paint, and wheat paste. Although his work is often a collection of words, he abstracts the words to such a degree that they become nearly impossible to read, encouraging viewers to appreciate the design and organically absorb the energy. Bisco utilizes his understanding of space from his early years as a graffiti writer, reimagining the execution of abstract expressionist painting through his unique contemporary lens.

paragraph: In 2016, a reviewer of Bisco's exhibition at CAVE Gallery in Venice, Los Angeles said of the artist's process: "Splattered with syncopated swirls, the grace of the letter, drizzles or jabs of paint, the mystery of learning how to trust the process is spelled out, moment by moment." In addition to process, positive intention is integral to Bisco's art. His aim is to blend his experiences in life with the experience being in the moment to create work that inspires hope for the future.

paragraph: Justina Huff

paragraph: Justina Huff (September 8, 1893 – June 29, 1977) was an American actress of the silent film era.

paragraph: Section::::Early life.

paragraph: Justina Huff was born in Columbus, GA in 1893. She was the oldest daughter of Thomas D. Huff and Lucinda (Salisbury) Huff. She had three older brothers; Thomas Salisbury, Mercer and Robert, one younger sister Louise Huff and one younger brother, T. D. Jr. Her grandfather was William Salisbury, the owner of the local newspaper The Enquirer-Sun. He was murdered in 1878 by a local man who was called out as a troublemaker in an editorial penned by Justina’s father, the city editor of that paper at the time. The family moved to New York City around 1906 after the company Thomas Huff worked for was sold. In 1908, Justina won a scholarship to attend Horace Mann Institute in Manhattan. Tragedy struck in 1910 when Thomas Huff died. Lucinda had no skills and no means of support. The children found it necessary to seek work. Justina’s younger sister Louise started acting with a traveling production company appearing in Graustark in 1911 and Ben Hur in 1912. Justina decided to try her hand in the fledgling silent movie industry.

paragraph: Section::::Career.

paragraph: In 1913, her first role in the movies was the maid in the Kate Kirby detective story "The Diamond Crown" for the Edison Co. She was then selected by famed actress Minnie Maddern Fiske for the part of Liza Lou in "Tess" "of the d’Urbervilles" for Famous Players Co. Justina then signed with Siegmund Lubin at Lubin Studios in Philadelphia, PA where she finished out 1913 making "A Son of His Father", "Through Flaming Paths" and "Between Dances". She continued with Lubin through 1914 and 1915. Her sister Louise had starting working at Lubin in 1913 where she met and married Edgar Jones, one of Lubin’s stars and directors. Justina made several movies with her brother-in-law, both acting with and being directed by him. This includes her last film for Lubin, "Under the Fiddler’s Elm" in 1915. Lubin declared bankruptcy 1916 after a disastrous fire destroyed most of its film archive and legal and financial problems forced it out of the business. Justina, Louise and Edgar all sought work at other studios after Lubin folded. Justina made her last film, "The Man Inside", for Universal in 1916.

paragraph: Section::::Marriage and family.

paragraph: Justina met her future husband at a dance in 1914. John P. Chapman was a doctor and professor of anatomy and the University of Pennsylvania. They were married on March 19, 1915 with the condition that she still be able to continue her film career. They had their first child, John W. in 1916 and Sally in 1918. Marriage and motherhood may have taken some of the luster off the movie business as Justina never made another film after giving birth to her first child. Justina settled into the role of wife and mother for her family in the suburbs of Philadelphia and occasionally visiting family in Georgia and New York. Justina and John were expecting one more child in 1925. Unfortunately, the baby boy arrived several months prematurely and only lived a few hours.

paragraph: Section::::Later life and death.

paragraph: John’s medical career provided a high standard of living for them and Justina developed a love of travel, especially to Europe. She traveled with husband and children several times between World Wars. After World War II, John and Justina began enjoying the culture and climate on the island of Majorca, Spain in the Mediterranean for extended periods. John died in Dublin, Ireland while spending some time there in 1968. Justina was living in Majorca when her sister Louise died in 1973 but eventually returned to Philadelphia, where she died in 1977.

paragraph: Natale Battezzati

paragraph: Natale Battezzati (1818–1882) was a printer and publishing house owner in Milan, Italy in the mid- and late 1880s. He was a founding member of the Italian book-trade society, "Associazione tipografico-libraria italiana", and developed a card catalog system for booksellers that influenced American librarianship.

paragraph: Section::::Professional life.

paragraph: Natale Battezzati began working in printing early in his life, and formed a printing and publishing house that produced a variety of significant works, including "Storia del Parlamento subalpino" by A. Brofferio and the "Annuario storico italiano".

paragraph: Battezzati was involved with the "Associazione tipografico-libraria italiana" from its beginning in 1869 as an elected member of the board.

paragraph: He proposed, in 1871, a standardized card system that could be used by booksellers to create an in-store catalog of books currently on offer by Italian presses. The system was demonstrated at the Vienna Exposition in 1873, and again in Milan at the 1879 exhibition of typographical arts. At this latter he was awarded honors for this invention. He also developed standards for noting book prices and for calculating shipping fees for books ordered from the publisher.

paragraph: Section::::Battezzati's card system.

paragraph: At the time that he proposed his card system, booksellers had only the bi-monthly publication of the trade association newsletter to provide a list of books available from Italian publishers. At the meeting of the Associazione libraria italiana on September 18, 1871, cav. Giuseppe Pomba proposed the development of a "book emporium" to improve distribution and service at many different levels of the book trade. Natale Battezzati, association member and owner of a publishing house in Milan, used this opportunity to make some proposals: a series of warehouses and middlemen in the major cities; a unified publicity system; and "… the adoption of a card system which would serve as the announcement of new publications, as a mail order form, and a cumulative supplement to the publishers' catalogs, and which can be ordered by subject and alphabetically…". The cards would be used to create a complete catalog of available books by author and by subject in each bookstore. Booksellers would be able to answer requests from customers without the need to leaf through the lists in the separate issues of the "Bibliografia."

paragraph: Each publisher would print cards representing their books and journals. The cards themselves would be reprints of the title page of the publication on heavy paper. The publisher's name would be printed on the left side of the card; the author across the top; and the subject of the work, using a modified form of the classification system developed by Jacques Charles Brunet, along the right-hand edge. Since most title pages carried a fair amount of white space, there remained room for additional information such as a table of contents or a summary of the work.

paragraph: In a pamphlet on the Milan Exposition of 1881, Battezzati included a list of nearly one hundred Italian publishers using his card system. However, after Battezzati's death in 1882, the card system receives no further mention and perhaps, having lost its main proponent, fell from use.

paragraph: Section::::Battezzati and Dewey.

paragraph: In each of the first fourteen editions of the Dewey Decimal System, Melvil Dewey included a short acknowledgment of Battezzati and his card system:

paragraph: "Perhaps the most fruitful source of ideas was the Nuovo sistema di Catalogo Bibliografico Generale of Natale Battezzati, of Milan. Certainly he [Dewey] is indebted to this system adopted by the Italian publishers in 1871, though he has copied nothing from it."

paragraph: It is not obvious, however, how and where Dewey encountered Battezzati's system. Battezzati himself states that:

paragraph: "... the systems was studied and admired by Mr. Melvil Dewey of Boston, secretary of the Association of American 'Libraj' at the Vienna Exposition of 1873..."

paragraph: and that the system was adopted in America using the term "Title-slips." There are a number of things wrong with Battezzati's statement. Dewey was not at the Vienna Exposition, but perhaps was alerted to it by others who were there. It is clear that he wrote to Battezzati as he is quoted by Battezzati as saying that he had never seen "such a beautiful proposal." The other thing that Battezzati gets wrong is that he translated "American Library Association" into "Associazione dei Libraj d'America," which means "American Booksellers' Association."

paragraph: Athanaric

paragraph: Athanaric or Atanaric (; died 381) was king of several branches of the Thervingian Goths for at least two decades in the 4th century. Throughout his reign, Athanaric was faced with invasions by the Roman Empire, the Huns and a civil war with Christian rebels. He is considered the first king of the Visigoths, who later settled in Iberia, where they founded the Visigothic Kingdom.

paragraph: Section::::Life.

paragraph: Athanaric made his first appearance in recorded history in 369, when he engaged in battle with the Roman Emperor Valens and ultimately negotiated a favorable peace for his people. During his reign, many Thervings had converted to Arian Christianity, which Athanaric vehemently opposed, fearing that Christianity would destroy Gothic culture. According to the report of Sozomenos, more than 300 Christians were killed in Athanaric's persecution during the 370s.

paragraph: Fritigern, Athanaric's rival, was an Arian and had the favor of Valens, who shared his religious beliefs. In the early 370s, Athanaric successively fought Fritigern in a civil war. Along with his generals Muderic and Lagarimanus, Athanaric was later defeated by the invading Huns. Temporarily fleeing to Caucaland in the Carpathians, Athanaric was warmly received by Theodosius in Constantinople in 381, where he signed a treaty of friendship with the Roman Empire.

paragraph: Socrates Scholasticus, Sozomen, and Zosimus refer to conflicts between Fritigern and Athanaric. Ammianus Marcellinus and Philostorgius do not record such conflicts.

paragraph: According to Socrates, Fritigern and Athanaric were rival leaders of the (Therving) Goths. As this rivalry grew into warfare, Athanaric gained the advantage, and Fritigern asked for Roman aid. The Emperor Valens and the Thracian field army intervened, Valens and Fritigern defeated Athanaric, and Fritigern converted to Christianity, following the same teachings as Valens followed. Sozomen follows Socrates' account.

paragraph: According to Zosimus, Athanaric (Athomaricus) was the king of the Goths (Scythians). Sometime after their victory at Adrianople, and after the accession of Theodosius, Fritigern, Alatheus, and Saphrax moved north of the Danube and defeated Athanaric, before returning south of the Danube.

paragraph: In 376, Valens permitted Fritigern's people to cross the Danube River and settle on Roman soil to avoid the Huns, who had recently conquered the Greuthungs and were now pressing the Thervings then living in Dacia. Athanaric's people were left to their fate, but many of them found their own way across the river, as well.

paragraph: In 381, Athanaric unexpectedly came to Constantinople. According to Jordanes, he negotiated a peace with the new emperor, Theodosius I, that made some Thervings "foederati", or official allies of Rome allowed to settle on Roman soil as a state within a state.

paragraph: Orosius ("Historiae adversum paganos" 7, 34) and Zosimus ("New History" 4, 34, 3-5) affirm this, but another source, Ammianus Marcellinus ("Res gestae" 27, 5, 10) tells us an entirely different story. According to him, Athanaric was banished by his fellow tribesmen and forced to seek asylum on the Roman territory. Cf. Themistius ("oratio" 15, 190-1), who likewise describes Athanaric as a supplicant and a refugee. Clearly, Athanaric was by then no authority to negotiate with; he was welcomed by Theodosius in Constantinople only because the Emperor wished to make a lasting impression on the Tervingi, who were still fighting the Romans.

paragraph: A few weeks later, Athanaric died. A peace and a treaty with those Tervingi (or Visigoths), who still fought the Romans in Thrace, was concluded in 382 and it lasted until Theodosius' death in 395.
