By 1551 Rochester had been appointed Comptroller of the Household to Mary Tudor, Henry VIII's elder daughter by Catherine of Aragon. In that year, the Privy Council ordered Rochester to stop any priest from saying mass in the Princess's household; Rochester refused, and was imprisoned in the Tower(according to the National Archives (www.oxford-shakespeare.com/probate/PROB_11-31-550) he was imprisoned in the Fleet), and replaced as Comptroller by Sir Anthony Wingfield. The next year, he was released to retire to the county because of his health. He was soon allowed to resume his post as Comptroller.

Robert was buried on 4 December at the Charterhouse at Sheen, the house reconstituted by the remnant of the English Carthusians under Dom Maurice Chauncy. He was succeeded in his post as Chancellor of the Duchy of Lancaster by his nephew, Sir Edward Waldegrave (died 1 September 1561), son of John Waldegrave (died 1543) and Rochester's sister Lora (died c. 1545).

paragraph: Section::::Name.:Paternal heritage.

paragraph: Daley (musician)

paragraph: Gareth Daley (; born 29 September 1989), known mononymously as Daley, is a British singer-songwriter. Daley first became prominent after co-writing and featuring on the Gorillaz single "Doncamatic", having been spotted by the band's co-creator/lead singer Damon Albarn early in his career as an underground artist on the UK music scene. Shortly afterwards, his first solo album "Those Who Wait" was independently released and achieved 150,000 downloads over its first few months. Its success saw him promptly signed to Universal Music.

paragraph: The next two years saw him release top 5 radio single “Alone Together” with Marsha Ambrosius (of Floetry), "Remember Me" featuring singer Jessie J and 2013's "Broken". Daley's debut album "Days & Nights" was released in February 2014 to critical acclaim and generated the Pharrell Williams-produced top ten hit "Look Up" on the "Billboard"s Adult R&B Songs.

paragraph: After a two year hiatus Daley returned with his sophomore album 2017's "The Spectrum", with lead single "Until The Pain Is Gone' (featuring three time Grammy winner Jill Scott) catapulting the singer back to the top of the US R&B charts. The 13 song set saw Daley expand on his soulful beginnings while experimenting with new sounds and sonics, auto-biographical emotional lyrical content, incorporating elements of R&B, P-funk, alternative, UK garage and orchestral arrangement. The album was accompanied by sold out headline tour runs in the US and Europe.

paragraph: Section::::Early life.

paragraph: Daley was born and brought up in the suburbs of Manchester in the North-West of England. Before pursuing music professionally he studied Design & Art Direction at Manchester Metropolitan University. He lived in Manchester until age 21, when he quit his Graphic Design job and relocated to London to focus solely on making music.

paragraph: Section::::Career.

paragraph: Section::::Career.:2010: Breakthrough.

paragraph: With some early demos, Daley took to the UK live scene, performing at open-mic nights, jam sessions and new talent stages including 'Troy Bar' in Hoxton, 'iLuvLive' in Camden and widely respected music industry showcase 'Wired' at Shoreditch House. Whipping up excitement with his standout vocal performances he would often find himself on stages with fellow emerging artists Ed Sheeran, Jessie J, Emeli Sande and Maverick Sabre - who later became his contemporaries and many of which he has since collaborated or toured with.

paragraph: While steadily making a name for himself Daley caught the attention of Gorillaz co-creator Damon Albarn, who invited him to meet and work on new material for the cartoon band's "Plastic Beach" album, resulting in their 2011 single "Doncamatic", which Daley co-wrote and fronted as lead vocalist. It shot him into the spotlight, appearing in the band's first non-cartoon music video and joining the Escape to Plastic Beach World Tour, along with Little Dragon, De La Soul, Lou Reed and Snoop Dogg.

paragraph: The collaboration enhanced Daley's visibility within the industry, and early radio airplay started largely at BBC Radio 1Xtra, who's DJ's Twin B, Ras Kwame, MistaJam and Ronnie Herel all championed the singer. This eventually lead to him taking part in emerging artist discovery platform BBC Introducing, where he was invited to record three of his songs at the world-famous Maida Vale Studios in London, and began to attract the attention of record labels.

paragraph: Section::::Career.:2011: "Those Who Wait".

paragraph: Daley's first solo offering was the "Those Who Wait" mixtape in late 2011, an independently released free download that was distributed through his official website Daley.TV. The mixtape achieved 50,000 downloads in its first month, increasing to 150,000 downloads over the months that followed and garnered Daley support from UK media including BBC's 'Sound of...' poll and online buzz from bloggers and fans alike. It consisted of ten songs, and showcased an alternative R&B sound. Stand out tracks included "Those Who Wait", "Game Over", "Smoking Gun", and an acoustic cover of 'Maxwell's "Pretty Wings", which became a viral favourite.

paragraph: Section::::Career.:2014: "Days + Nights".

paragraph: Released on 11 February 2014 by Polydor Records in the United Kingdom and Republic Records in the United States - the critically acclaimed Days + Nights was Daley's official debut studio album. Featuring stand out songs 'Look Up', 'Broken', 'Time Travel' and 'Blame The World', the album featured collaborations with Pharrell Williams, Illangelo, Bernard Butler and Shea Taylor.

paragraph: Section::::Career.:2017: "The Spectrum".

paragraph: On 14 July 2017, after a two year hiatus, Daley's sophomore studio album The Spectrum was released via BMG Rights Management. The album featured lead single 'Until The Pain Is Gone' a soaring soulful duet with Jill Scott, and stand out songs including P-Funk inspired up-tempo 'Sympathy' with UK producer/DJ Swindle, 'Selfish' produced by Montreal producer 'xSdtrk' and UK Garage inspired 'Careless'. The album saw Daley continue to develop with his auto-biographical songwriting style, delving into emotional and even occasional spiritual territory, and pushing boundaries with both vocal performance/arrangement and musical sonic.

paragraph: Section::::Artistry.

paragraph: Daley has become known for his Alternative R&B sound, which contains hints of Soul, Electronica and Pop. His songwriting is vocal-lead and puts emphasis on vocal performance and arrangement, a trait that has often defined him when compared to his male contemporaries. He has referred to his sound as 'Future-Throwback' in interviews, stating that the music has a familiar, occasionally nostalgic feel, contemporised with a futuristic sonic and production. Daley has stated that he has been influenced predominantly by a mix of US and UK sounds and songwriters, has cited some of his influences as: Prince, Chaka Khan, Radiohead, Maxwell, Sade, Joni Mitchell, Imogen Heap and George Michael.

paragraph: Section::::Touring and live performances.

paragraph: Section::::Playing career.:Suspensions.

paragraph: Simon was involved in numerous on-ice incidents and has been suspended eight times for his conduct for a grand total of 65 games.

paragraph: Section::::Playing career.:Suspensions.:Mike Grier Incident.

paragraph: On November 8, 1997, during a game against the Edmonton Oilers, Simon was suspended three games for using his stick to hit Edmonton's Mike Grier. Grier allegedly made derogatory comments about Simon's Ojibwa heritage, and Simon allegedly responded with a racial slur (supposedly "nigger") before hitting Grier, although the spoken words between the two players were never confirmed. Simon flew to Toronto to apologize to Grier. Grier and Simon were later teammates for a brief time in 2002 with the Washington Capitals.

paragraph: Section::::Playing career.:Suspensions.:Ryan Hollweg incident.

paragraph: On March 8, 2007, the Islanders faced the rival New York Rangers, at the Nassau Veterans Memorial Coliseum. At 13:25 of the third period, Rangers forward Ryan Hollweg checked Simon from (what Simon felt was) behind, knocking him face first into the boards, and giving Simon a concussion. No penalty was assessed, and play continued. Simon then took a two-handed baseball swing in the face of Ryan Hollweg with his hockey stick as he skated by. Simon received a match penalty for attempt to injure, resulting in his ejection from the game. Hollweg suffered a cut to the chin that required two stitches. According to ESPN's Barry Melrose, Hollweg escaped serious injury because Simon's blow caught his shoulder pads before hitting his face.

paragraph: Simon was automatically suspended indefinitely by the NHL due to his match penalty pending ruling by the league commissioner. On March 11, Simon's suspension was set at a minimum of 25 games, and it continued into the first five games of the 2007-08 season. The Nassau County district attorney considered filing criminal charges against Simon, but declined. Hollweg later told "Newsday" that he was not interested in pressing charges.

paragraph: On March 10, Simon issued a statement in which he apologized to Hollweg and the league and said that there is "absolutely no place in hockey" for what he did. He asserted that he did not remember much about the incident because he was "completely out of it" as a result of the concussion.

paragraph: Section::::Playing career.:Suspensions.:Jarkko Ruutu incident.

paragraph: On December 15, 2007, at 14:06 of the third period of a home game against Pittsburgh, Tim Jackman and Jarkko Ruutu exchanged words between the teams' benches during a stoppage of play. Simon skated in behind Ruutu and pulled Ruutu's leg back with his own. When Ruutu fell to his knees, Simon stomped on the back of Ruutu's right leg with his skate and then went to the bench. Simon was given a match penalty for attempt to injure and ejected from the game.

paragraph: The following Monday, Simon agreed to go on indefinite paid leave from the team, saying there was "no excuse" for his actions and that he needed some time away from hockey. However, the next day, Simon was suspended without pay for 30 games, the third-longest suspension for an on-ice incident in modern NHL history behind a 41-game suspension to Raffi Torres in 2015 and a one-year suspension handed down to Marty McSorley in 2000 (though McSorley only sat out 23 games before his contract expired and he left the NHL). League disciplinarian Colin Campbell said that in his opinion, Simon had "repeatedly evidence(d) the lack of ability to control his actions," and also stressed that this was his eighth disciplinary hearing. Following the suspension, Simon returned to play one more game with the New York Islanders before being traded to the Minnesota Wild.

paragraph: When Chris Pronger was not initially disciplined by the NHL when he stomped on Ryan Kesler's leg in March 2008, Simon decried what he saw as unfair and unequal treatment. On March 15, 2008, the NHL suspended Pronger for 8 games.

paragraph: Section::::Playing career.:Suspensions.:Minor Incidents.

paragraph: Simon was suspended for one game in a 2000 playoff series against Pittsburgh for cross checking Peter Popovic across the throat on April 13, 2000. He was given two-game suspensions once on April 5, 2001 for elbowing Anders Eriksson, and twice in 2004 for cross checking Tampa Bay's Ruslan Fedotenko and then jumping on and punching him, and for kneeing Dallas's Sergei Zubov.

paragraph: Section::::Personal life.

paragraph: His father, John, is of Ojibwe descent from the Wiikwemkoong First Nation on Manitoulin Island. As a teenager, he struggled with an addiction to alcohol but was helped to sobriety by future Buffalo Sabres and New York Islanders coach Ted Nolan in 1992.

paragraph: Simon was previously married to Lauri Smith. The two divorced and he has four children with his second wife Valerie. In 2017, Simon filed for bankruptcy and claimed he is unable to work due to his hockey injuries.

paragraph: Rory McLeod (born 1957) is a British folk singer-songwriter from London. He grew up in Camberwell before moving to Northolt and later West Kilburn. His career has included being a fire eater and circus clown and his performances include storytelling in the tradition of the traveling minstrel or troubadour, and playing a wide range of instruments including guitar, harmonica, trombone and his personally-made stomp box. WoMAD have said: "With Rory McLeod, you get the music of the world in one suitcase.[...] You can hear flamenco, calypso, blues and Celtic influences in his music, all wrapped together in an inimitable style". He has recorded and toured with (then) fellow Cooking Vinyl artist Michelle Shocked.

paragraph: He also performed on "Puddle Dive", the 1993 album by fellow singer-songwriter, Ani DiFranco. In 1996, McLeod's song "Invoking the Spirits", which was inspired by time he spent in Zimbabwe, was a BBC Radio 4 "pick of the week". McLeod played the theme tune for the TV animation series, "Creature Comforts". Martin Newell has described McLeod as "a feral folk musician of enormous talent", and writing in "The Guardian" Robin Denselow called him a "rousing harmonica player and guitarist".

paragraph: Diego Fabbri

paragraph: Diego Fabbri (b1911) was an Italian playwright whose plays centered on religious (Catholic) themes.

paragraph: Section::::Early career.

paragraph: Fabbri graduated from the University of Bologna in 1936 with a degree in economics and business. But his writing career had begun well before that. His first play, "The Flowers of Pain", was published in 1928. He followed it with "The Node", which was banned by the fascist government.

paragraph: In 1938, he collaborated with Guido Chiesa to write the play "Absent". In 1939 Fabbri received an invitation to Rome, to become director of the Publisher Avenue. Then, in 1940, he was appointed secretary of the Catholic Film Center. He held the post until 1959. During this time, Fabbri began work on "The Literary Fair". His co-director on this project was the poet Vincenzo Cardarelli. The project could not be completed until 1966, and Vincenzo Cardarelli did not live to see it.

paragraph: Fabbri was particularly prolific in 1940. In that year, he wrote three plays: “Marshes”, “Meadow”, and “Fun”. The following year he came out with “Orbits”, which was staged at the Teatro Quirino in Rome. “Marshes” was staged in the same theater in 1942.

paragraph: Section::::Films.

paragraph: One of Fabbri's best known works is "Inquisition", which was written in 1946. His career as a screenwriter and scriptwriter began with collaborations with directors as Vittorio De Sica, Alessandro Blasetti, and Germs. He also worked with other film makers such as Roberto Rossellini, Federico Fellini, Paw, Michelangelo Antonioni, René Clair, Luis Buñuel and Fleischer. In 1951 his "The Seducer" was represented. Fabbri wrote the screenplay for films like the "Family Process" (1953), "The Liar" (1954), "Trial of Jesus" (1955), "Vigil of Arms" (1956), "Delirium" (1957), "Sons of Art" (1959), "Process Karamazov" (1960), "The Squirrel" (1961), "At the Table Do Not Talk About Love" (1962), "The Confidant" (1964) and "The Event" (1967). Fabbri was head of the Roman Theatre La Cometa from 1960 to 1962. In 1968 he became President of ETI (Italian Theatre). His term there was marked by a policy of expansion and inculcating a theater culture throughout the country.

paragraph: Fabbri commitment to creating a national theater is reflected in the declaration of the manifesto for a theater of the people, which he signed in 1943, along with other prominent literati such as Pandolfi and Pinelli. Fabbri was one of the founders of the National Union of Drama Writers in 1945.

paragraph: Fabbri was born in Forlì, where a theatre is named after him. His best known plays are "Inquisizione" (Inquisition) and "Processo a Gesú" (The Trial of Jesus). He died in Riccione.

paragraph: Jessica Dismorr

paragraph: Jessica Stewart Dismorr (3 March 1885 – 29 August 1939) was an English painter and illustrator. Dismorr participated in almost all of the avant-garde groups active in London between 1912 and 1937 and was one of the few English painters of the 1930s to work in a completely abstract manner. She was one of only two women members of the Vorticist movement and also exhibited with the Allied Artists Association, the Seven and Five Society and the London Group. She was the only female contributor to Group X and displayed abstract works at the 1937 Artists' International Association exhibition. Poems and illustrations by Dismorr appeared in several avant-garde publications including "Blast", "Rhythm" and an edition of "Axis".

paragraph: Section::::Early life.

paragraph: Dismorr was born at Gravesend in Kent, the fourth of five daughters born to Mary Ann Dismorr, née Clowes, and John Stewart Dismorr, a rich businessman with property interests in South Africa, Canada and Australia. The family moved to Hampstead in the 1890s, where Jessica Dismorr was educated at Kingsley College and where she became head girl. Her mother suffered from extended periods of ill health but her father's income meant the family were free of financial worries and Jessica was able to travel extensively in Europe.

paragraph: Dismorr attended the Slade School of Art from 1902 to 1903, before training under Max Bohm at Etaples in 1904, and at the Académie de La Palette in Paris, between 1910 and 1913, where she studied under Jean Metzinger and was in the circle around the Scottish Colourist, John Duncan Fergusson. In Paris, Dismorr shared a studio with the American artist Marguerite Thompson. In 1911, Dismorr contributed several illustrations to the avant-garde "Rhythm" magazine. During July 1912 she showed three landscapes, to favourable reviews, with the Allied Artists Association. Dismorr exhibited with Fergusson and S. J. Peploe in October 1912 at the Stafford Gallery in London. From 1912 to 1914 Dismorr also exhibited at the Salon d'Automne in Paris. In 1912 and 1913, Dismorr exhibited Fauvist influenced work with the Allied Artist's Association. The Fauvist influence is said to have resulted from her studies at the Académie de La Palette.

paragraph: Section::::Vorticism.

paragraph: Dismorr met Wyndham Lewis in 1913 and by 1914 had become a member of the Rebel Art Centre. She maintained a studio in the Kings Road, Chelsea, London, as well as taking frequent trips to France. Dismorr was a signatory to the Vorticist manifesto published in the first issue of their literary magazine, "Blast" in 1914, and also contributed illustrations and a written piece, "Monologue", to the second issue in 1915. She shared the group's depiction of the dynamics of the machine and their desire to challenge the public's conservative views on art but little of her work from this period survives. The four works she contributed to the Vorticist exhibition in 1915 are now thought to be lost, as is the original of "The Engine" which was reproduced in an edition of "Blast". Both the Victoria and Albert Museum and the Tate hold one example each of Dismorr's work from this period and the collector John Quinn displayed several examples in New York in December 1916. Dismorr exhibited with the Vorticists again in New York in January 1917 at the Penguin Club.

paragraph: Apart from Dismorr, the only other female member of the Vorticist group was Helen Saunders. William Roberts's painting "The Vorticists at the Restaurant de la Tour Eiffel, Spring 1915", from 1961–62, shows the seven males dominating the foreground and the two women behind with Dismorr in the doorway being the furthest away. According to Kate Lechmere, the financial backer of "Blast" and the Rebel Art Centre, Dismorr had a difficult relationship with Wyndham Lewis, and was, along with fellow artist Helen Saunders, one of the "little lapdogs who wanted to be Lewis’s slaves and do everything for him". Lechmere claimed that on one occasion Dismorr stripped naked in Oxford Street to demonstrate she would do anything Lewis asked of her. Dismorr and Wyndham Lewis fell out in 1925 when she refused to purchase some drawings from him when he was short of money but they appeared to have resumed a cordial friendship in 1928 when she did lend him some funds. Robin Ody, a close friend and the executor of Dismorr's will (in which all the beneficiaries were women), summed her up as "the Edwardian phenomenon of the new woman". Ody considered that she did not have a physical relationship with Lewis. Lechmere's relationship with Lewis ended bitterly, and she carried out a legal struggle to recover money owed her by him. Lechmere had provided all the funds to pay for the Rebel Art Centre, where the Vorticists first met in 1914—a fact which Lewis had to admit to Christopher Nevinson who had not wanted "any of these damned women" in the group.

paragraph: Section::::World War I.

paragraph: During World War I Dismorr served as a nurse in France and then as a bilingual field officer with the American Friends Service Committee. After the war Dismorr was at the centre of the London avant-garde world, acquainted with both T. S. Eliot and Ezra Pound, with her poems and illustrations being published in various publications. During 1919 several poems by Dismorr were published in "The Little Review" but following a highly critical article by A.Y. Winters she did not submit any more for publication until the 1930s. Early in 1920 Dismorr had a handful of paintings shown, in group shows, at both the Mansard Gallery and the New Art Salon.

paragraph: From 1920 until 1924 she appears to have had no settled home and travelled throughout Europe, spending time in Paris, the Alpes-Maritimes and in both London and Folkestone. She had a nervous breakdown in 1920 and received medical advice not to paint. Lewis suspected that it was her modern style that was causing the doctors concern, and wrote to her that "the best possible distraction for you would be to paint".

paragraph: Section::::Later life.

paragraph: In 1924 Dismorr began a series of water colour paintings of music hall performers, a popular subject at the time. In 1925 her first solo exhibition was held at the Mayor Gallery in London. R. H. Wilenski wrote the introduction to the exhibition cataloue. The exhibition included a series of water colours painted in France, Italy, Spain, Scotland and England. A Fauve type composition, "Pyrenean Town", was reproduced in reviews of the show and also shown at the Seven and Five Society. Caring for her ill mother left Dismorr little time to paint and throughout 1926 she mostly showed previously displayed works.

paragraph: Both her mother and sister Blanche died in 1926 and Dismorr herself was ill during 1927. Dismorr recovered and between 1927 and 1934 exhibited some twenty-six figurative pieces with the London Group. In the early 1930s these included a series of portraits of poets, including Dylan Thomas, Cecil Day Lewis and William Empson. She exhibited with Charles Ginner and Barbara Hepworth in the London Group, as well as with Ivon Hitchens and Ben Nicholson in the Seven and Five Society, having joined both groups in 1926. She produced several pointillist self-portraits alongside portraits of her mother and female friends. One of these was of the artist Catherine Dawson Giles, whom Dismorr had known since 1904 when they met in Etaples. The two had also travelled together on painting expeditions in Europe in the 1920s. For several years Dismorr had lived at the Giles family home in London. Throughout her final years, Dismorr continued painting and exhibiting her work, which became completely abstract during the late 1930s. She exhibited with the Association Abstraction-Creation. She contributed her work, "Related Forms" to "Axis" magazine in 1937 (no 8: 25).

paragraph: Dismorr committed suicide by hanging in London on 29 August 1939, five days before Britain declared war on Germany.

paragraph: A joint exhibition of works by Dismorr and Giles was held in 2000 at the Fine Art Society in London, with a catalogue written by Quentin Stevenson. Catherine Heathcock's (unpublished) PhD thesis contains a complete catalogue of Dismorr's works. The letters between Dismorr and Lewis are now held at Cornell University.

paragraph: Unni Wilhelmsen

paragraph: Unni Elisabeth Wilhelmsen (born 12 July 1971) is a Norwegian singer, songwriter and musician. Her musical influences are pop music and the American tradition of the singer/songwriter, in which the lyrics play an important role as well as the music. She lives in Oslo, but has throughout her career had the whole of Norway as a venue. When she made her breakthrough in 1996 with her debut album "To Whom It May Concern" (Polygram), she also became an important mediator of the singer/songwriter genre, a genre that now has a broad audience in Norwegian popular music.

paragraph: Section::::Career.

paragraph: Wilhelmsen was born in Oslo. She was given a guitar as a teenager and so the guitar became her first instrument. However, she had always dreamed of playing the piano, and later took it up. Her first tune featuring the piano came in 2006. She writes most of her music herself, but from time to time collaborates with others. Wilhelmsen is a full-time musician and releases her music on her own indie label, "St. Cecilia Music". In addition to pursuing her solo career, in September 2013, Unni joined the Norwegian Band "Di Derre" as a guitarist and vocalist.

paragraph: Her debut as singer was at "Smuget" in Oslo, where music journalist Finn Bjelke was present. He liked what he heard and mentioned her to music producer Ole Evenrud at Polygram. This led to her first record contract, and her debut album "To Whom It May Concern" was released on Polygram 1996. She was awarded Spellemannprisen 1996 in two categories for this album. International release on Universal Music of "To whom it may concern" in Germany followed, but her international career was slow to develop. She started her own record company to be in charge. Now her audience outside Norway is growing; in effect she functions as her own distributor and a subcontractor for her former label, Universal.

paragraph: Section::::Private life.

paragraph: Wilhelmsen lives in Oslo, Norway. She has installed her own studio in the kitchen, "Fett Studio", and most of her album "Til Meg" (St. Cecilia Music, 2006) was recorded there.

paragraph: Yvonne Curtis

paragraph: Yvonne Curtis (born Yvonne McIntosh) is a singer of Jamaican descent. She has lived in the United Kingdom since the early 1960s. She became the lead singer of The Serenaders and often travels back and forth from the Caribbean Islands performing as a reggae and soca artist.

paragraph: Section::::History.

paragraph: Born and raised in Jamaica, the young gospel singer Curtis left St. Ann's, Jamaica in the 1960s as a teenager for a better life and education in England. She continued her musical career from her new home in Highbury and Islington, London. Whilst studying in college in the 1970s, Curtis sang in many local bands before she decided it was time to seriously pursue her singing career.

paragraph: A local recording producer needed a backing vocalist for his musical project and a contest was held in Stockwell, South London. Having been advised to enter, the young Curtis came second in the contest to her best friend who came first from which producer took them both on asking them to conduct vocals session works. The official recording of the track took place at the BBC Recording Studios in central London and it was at this moment the producer felt that her voice was too strong to be left in the background from which he later insisted that Curtis was to permanently sing lead instead of backing vocals.

paragraph: During the mid-1970s Curtis joined a local band called the Okendoes and Chalis thereafter to which she found no real success. After many different small projects in 1975 and no real commercial success she began working with a record label called Third World Music under Shelly Barrett aka Count Shelly who released Curtis's first song entitled "What's Your Name" which was an instant success. Things began moving and she soon left Third World Records to sign with London's Empire Records which was a subsidiary division of Jamaica's Channel One Studios with whom she released another hit song called 'Convenient Woman', written by Curtis. After two years she left Empire Records to release her own single called 'No Charge' which was on World Sounds Records before joining a successful Reggae band called The Serenaders who were signed to Brown's Music Records. The first release by this band was a single entitled 'Only for Lovers' and soon after came 'Sweet Loving' which was a successful hit song written by Curtis. The song did extremely well and caused a huge demand for her tours and performances globally. During 1994 she travelled to (Germany), Nicaragua and Brazil creating a fan base and was performing for the "Warehouse Showcase" show which was televised for the UK's, London's Carlton Television to which she also appeared. In 1998 she appeared with Pete Campbell on "The Big Breakfast" on Channel 4 and featured in songs by the Reggae Boys. During this time she was constantly writing and recording songs under Brown's Music & World Sounds Records both as a solo artist and under the band named 'Wavet' which included further performances at the Royal Albert Hall in London.

paragraph: Section::::History.:The mid-2000s.

paragraph: In year 2000 The Serenaders fell apart upon the death of three of its members and Curtis went back to World Sound Records to continue recording her new songs. In 2013 on a joint venture with Browns Records she released an album entitled 'Lets Unite in Love' which was distributed VP Records in the US. The album was an instant success and caused a notable demand for Curtis' music worldwide. In 2015 Curtis met record producer and label owner Mark Anthony Blak Prophetz and joined Digital Jukebox Records in 2015. The first release was a three CD compilation of her greatest hits, followed by a crossover version of the Christmas medley ‘When a Child is Born’ & ‘Mary's Boy Child’. John Nolan, a journalist and reviewer for 'Reggae in New York' spoke very highly of the albums success in the United States, stating, ""Often the most talented artists go for decades without the commercial recognition they deserve. Despite her lack of commercial success Curtis is a driving force in reggae music with an evolving sound that has spanned the entire reggae spectrum. Since 1978 she has released 11 albums, as well as numerous compilations and singles."".

paragraph: Section::::History.:Today.

paragraph: Curtis goes back and forth from Jamaica, the Caribbean to London and has found her home with Digital Jukebox Records and is continuing to release and write new songs with her producers. During a radio interview in Gloucester by presenter Perry Jay for the Reggae Time Show, Jay described the show as absolutely fantastic stating how the crowds would continuously sing her songs back to her in appreciation.""

paragraph: Urbain Ledoux

paragraph: Urbain J. Ledoux (August 13, 1874 – April 8, 1941), later known as "Mr. Zero", referring to his not wanting his own name to be prominent, was motivated early in his quest of service to humanity. He sought to become a Catholic priest at 15 but witnessed a case of priest abuse and soon quit the priesthood about the age of 17. He began to work for law and business interests as a means of progress for humanity. He then sought to serve in diplomatic service for the United States with this approach and earned a few promotions. His approach of advocating for business development as a means to promote the interests of humanity was challenged, that it would be fruitless for higher aims unless personal transformation were brought to bear. He quit the diplomatic service and sought to work with non-governmental organizations for both business and peace interests. Soon he was working with the Bahá'ís and present during the conflict over the status of Sarah Farmer. He led the efforts to free her from involuntary confinement in an insane asylum, ultimately gathering a chief of police and a judge to accompany a court order to effect her freedom. He then began to found institutions seeking to aide humanity, making news first with the unemployment after the First World War among workers and veterans with a breadline in 1919. He advocated for the Bahá'í Faith, albeit with a limited understanding of the principles of the religion, and proceeded to set up events aimed at raising awareness of the suffering of the unemployed in New York and Boston. His efforts were seen as too confrontational and his events were repeatedly shut down even when he sought to be less confrontational and have discussions with leaders. The work was renewed with greater intensity during the Great Depression but he was in his 60s already and died soon after. Some of his work and antics were recorded in pictures and newsreels.

paragraph: Section::::Biography.

paragraph: Born August 13, 1874 in Sainte-Hélène-de-Bagot, Quebec, his family soon moved to Biddeford, Maine. He had limited schooling and began to work to support the family at age nine. He was also an altar boy and read French religious books. At 15 he sought the Catholic priesthood at a seminary in Marieville, Quebec. Two years later he witnessed a case of priest abuse of an altar boy, quit the priesthood and soon began work at a law firm back in Maine. He also began to organize political clubs, became Republican ward leader, and launched the first French language publications and newspaper stories in Maine.

paragraph: In 1895 Ledoux sought an open consulate position with the US Government at the age of 21 and was assigned to Trois-Rivières where he engaged in promoting business interests, French language and culture in an anglophone situation as well as seeking balance in that advocacy. He was promoted in 1903 and sent as consul to Prague and served business interests. In 1907 he was promoted again but chose not to accept appointment to Brazil. He had been challenged that his goals required a means to transform human nature. He returned to the States in 1910 and was involved in Boston area peace initiatives the same year. In 1912 he was working with peace activist Paul Otlet.

paragraph: In 1915 Ledoux was working with Bahá'ís, especially at Green Acre, and would later credit much of his actions to the motivations he perceived in the Bahá'í Faith. He was perhaps the third francophone Bahá'í born out of Canada. At the time Sarah Farmer, founder of Green Acre, was ill and had been involuntarily committed to an insane asylum. Ledoux led the effort to free her which, though it was confrontational, included the local chief of police and judge in the attempt with a court order. `Abdu'l-Bahá, then head of the religion, praised his work freeing Farmer.

paragraph: That year Henry Ford financed the Peace Ship mission to attempt to end World War I, setting sail in December 1915. Ledoux attempted to join the expedition but wasn't accepted. Instead, he jumped off the pier and made a spectacle swimming after the ship – an act that got notice in the newspapers and entered him into public awareness.

paragraph: As his actions became more pronounced he convincingly protested that his aims were apolitical, nor to be an agitator, or Bolshevist – that his aims were religiously based. He claimed he was trying "to awaken the slumbering conscience of the people."

paragraph: Section::::His institutions.

paragraph: In the vicinity of Greenacre Ledoux opened a "Unity Hotel" in 1917.

paragraph: During the war he began to assist in the repercussion of war among the families of soldiers and after the Armistice he began assist to jobless veterans.

paragraph: Section::::His institutions.:The Stepping Stone.

paragraph: In April 1919 Ledoux opened a breadline named "The Stepping Stone" near Bowery and 9th Street in NY. He did this with the assistance of some Bahá'ís as well as some financial support. Mason Remey went down one time to see what it was like and was taken up in the enthusiasm both of the work and the chance to talk.

paragraph: A picture was taken of "The Stepping Stone" and several newspapers covered that it was set up. Also in April 1919 he had an article published in Star of the West called "The Oneness of the World of Humanity". In June `Abdu'l-Bahá sent a message hoping he would promulgate the religion, unity of humanity, universal peace, and overcome prejudices dividing the world. In August he was one of the signatories of a letter to `Abdu'l-Baha hoping for a return trip to the United States. He met Dane Rudhyar who inquired about the religion but did not join. In April 1920 he was a delegate to the national convention of the Bahá'ís. In January 1921 he was helping to run a Bahá'í meeting in NY. At the same time he was in the national media like The Nation. A biographical sketch of him was done in "The Survey", a journal of charity under Paul Underwood Kellogg, and The New Republic, in October and "The Independent" in Nov. Each painting him in different ways.

paragraph: Some of the coverage echoed his advocacy of the Bahá'í Faith, and was sometimes confused with Buddhism, - a confusion that echoes more recently.

paragraph: The picture was eventually acquired by Getty Images, has been used some 90 years later and has been noticed by Bahá'ís and others.

paragraph: Ledoux escalated his efforts and organized the unemployed and former soldiers, setting up hotels for them to stay in, trying to get them invited to President Harding's inaugural ball, and eventually ran afoul of the law while presenting their case and them to the socialites of New York. He still escalated and held a public "slave auction" of the jobless war veterans. His second event was staged on the steps of the New York Public Library. The authorities began to systematically reject his applications for events. In 1921, he did the same in Boston and had some success, including getting 150 people jobs, but after a major confrontation decreased his confrontational approach, instead relying on churches for contributions for relief to the poor. He gained an audience with President Harding but it did not lead to a change. While in Washington, he gave several talks at the Bahá'í Center though in his enthusiasm some of his points were clearly off base compared to those of the faith. Refusing to learn the formal teachings of the religion, the remainder of his talks were canceled. Meanwhile, he was praised as a mystic. While away from Boston, much of what he had set up had been dismantled, and he tried to move the starving to another hotel. In a confrontation with the desk clerk, he was able to chastise the refusal to help with sixteen relevant passages from the Gospel of Matthew but the clerk was not moved enough to allow them to stay.

paragraph: Ledoux broadened his advocacy for all the unemployed and labored further for years before and during the Great Depression. He had an event holding a lantern "looking for an honest man" or "a Christian delegate" who would address the wrongs in society; eventually he drew attention to Eugene V. Debs. He downplayed the inspiration of the Bahá'í Faith because of xenophobic fears among the public. Films were taken of him trying to promote the work. Pictures were taken too.

paragraph: He died in April 1941, with his daughter Yvette from his time in his first consular job, having moved there to help him. Obituaries were published by Associated Press and United Press International as well as independently. In 1973 a Ed.D thesis was done on Ledoux.
