paragraph: David Evelyn Nye

paragraph: David Evelyn Nye was a British architect, born in 1906, who practised in Surrey, England. He was best known as a cinema architect, having designed many picture houses in the 1930s for the Shipman and King cinema circuit. He was a committed Christian, abstainer and vegetarian.

paragraph: Section::::Architectural work.

paragraph: In 1930 he was awarded the first scholarship by the Society for the Protection of Ancient Buildings, through which he learned about the restoration of ancient buildings. Nye set up his own practice in 1931, initially working as honorary architect to the Essex Rural Community Council in Maldon, Essex. He was responsible for the 1932 restoration work on Thomas Plume's Library. It was in Maldon that he secured his first cinema project, designing the Embassy Cinema for the Shipman & King cinema circuit, which was erected on Maldon High Street in 1936. The Embassy was demolished in 1987 to make way for a sheltered housing complex, Embassy Court.

paragraph: Nye continued his association with Shipman & King for another 9 years, designing over 40 cinemas. His most renowned cinema design was possibly the Rex, Berkhamsted, an Art Deco picture house designed in 1937 with a nautical theme, featuring decorations of waves, shells and portholes. The Rex was eventually turned into a bingo hall and then closed in 1988, but the building was listed Grade II by English Heritage, preserving it from demolition by property developers. A local campaign to restore the Rex succeeded and in 2004 it was re-opened as an independent cinema.

paragraph: During World War II Nye served in the Royal Navy. After the war, he began his work as an architect again, specialising in church building and restoration. He designed the church of St Faith's Church, Dulwich in the mid-1950s. He was appointed Architect to the Diocese of Southwark and Architect and Surveyor to Guildford Cathedral. His practice also carried out restoration work for the National Trust and was responsible for the reconstruction of All Hallows, London Wall after wartime bombing and the new Pewterers' Hall in Oat Lane in the City in 1960.

paragraph: Nye was chairman of SPAB’s Technical panel for several years.

paragraph: The Architects' Practice of Nye, Saunders and Partners, based in Godalming, Surrey, was formed in 1971 following the merger of David Evelyn Nye & Partners with A.E.F. Saunders and Associates, and today the Nye Saunders practice continues to specialise in church and historic building conservation.

paragraph: Sir Nicholas Slanning, 1st Baronet

paragraph: Sir Nicholas Slanning, 1st Baronet FRS (June 1643– April 1691) of Maristow in the parish of Tamerton Foliot, Devon, was an English courtier and politician who sat in the House of Commons between 1667 and 1689.

paragraph: Section::::Life.

paragraph: Slanning was the eldest son of Sir Nicholas Slanning and his wife Gertrude (nêe Bagge), daughter of Sir James Bagge. His father was killed in 1643 fighting for the Royalist cause in the Civil War. His mother remarried Richard Arundell, 1st Baron Arundell of Trerice.

paragraph: After the Restoration of Charles II Slanning was knighted in 1661 and made a baronet in 1663. His first marriage into the influential Cartaret family brought him for a time into the inner Court circle. He was appointed Cupbearer to Queen Catherine of Braganza (1663) and Commissioner for Assessment for Cornwall (1661–1678), Devon (1661–1662, 1665–1680). He was elected a Fellow of the Royal Society in 1664. Like his father he had some interest in chemistry.

paragraph: In 1669, Slanning was elected Member of Parliament for Plympton Erle in the Cavalier Parliament. He was a diligent MP, sitting on some 70 committees. He was elected MP for Penrhyn in 1679 and in 1681 and 1685. He was expelled from the Royal Society in 1682. He was appointed Standard-bearer to the Band of Gentleman-pensioners (1676–1684), Commissioner for Rebels' Estates, Devon (1686), Vice-Warden of the Stanneries (1686-death) and Deputy-Governor of Plymouth (1688). He was Commissioner for Assessment for Cornwall and Devon from 1689 to 1690. He supported the Glorious Revolution, but retired from politics the following year.

paragraph: Slanning died in Tamerton Foliot, Devon in 1691.

paragraph: Section::::Family.

paragraph: Slanning married four times: firstly in 1662 Anne (died 1668), daughter of Sir George Carteret, Bt, of St Owen's, Jersey, Treasurer of the Navy and his wife Elizabeth. Anne was remembered as a "pious and sweet-tempered lady": Samuel Pepys refers to her affectionately in his celebrated Diary. He married secondly in 1670 Mary, daughter of James Jenkin of Treseny, St Columb Major, Cornwall, thirdly in 1673 Mary, and daughter of Sir Andrew Henley, 1st Baronet, of Henley, Somerset, and his first wife Mary Gayer. Mary Henley was the mother of his only son, Andrew. He married fourthly in 1679 Amy, widow of Sir John Davie, 2nd Baronet, and also of Walter Hele of Newton Ferrers, and daughter of Edmond Parker of Boringdon Hall, Plympton, Devon.

paragraph: His only son, Sir Andrew Slanning, inherited his title. Andrew was murdered by John Cowland in 1700, following a quarrel in the Rose Tavern, Convent Garden, and the title died with him. The Slanning estates passed to the heirs of Sir Nicholas's sister Elizabeth, Lady Modyford.

paragraph: Andrew Coventry

paragraph: Prof Andrew Coventry FRSE (1762–1830) was a Scottish agriculturist. He was the first Professor of Agriculture in Great Britain.

paragraph: Section::::Life.

paragraph: Andrew Coventry, born in February 1762, was eldest son of Rev George Coventry, minister of Stitchell in Roxburghshire. Through his mother, Elizabeth Horn, he inherited the estate of Shanwell, near Kinross, and some other landed property in Perthshire. He was educated at the university of Edinburgh, and on 15 December 1782 elected a member of the Medical Society of Edinburgh. In September 1783 he graduated M.D. for a thesis "De Scarlatina Cynanchica". It is not clear whether he ever practised as a physician; but he appears to have specialised in the sciences bearing upon agriculture.

paragraph: On 7 July 1790 Sir William Pulteney took the first steps towards endowing a chair of agriculture at Edinburgh, and nominated Coventry as the first professor. Occasional lectures on the subject had earlier been delivered by other professors, e.g. by the professor of chemistry, Dr. William Cullen, at the instigation of Lord Kames. A much fuller course had also been given by John Walker, then professor of natural history, in 1788.

paragraph: The new chair's foundation seems to have been regarded with a good deal of jealousy: the professor of natural history protested that he was not to be hindered thereby from teaching 'any branch of natural science,' to which the professor of botany objected as infringing his rights; Coventry, for his part, insisted that none but himself had the right to give 'a separate course of georgical lectures.' Moreover, the endowment and patronage of a university chair by a private individual was unprecedented at the time, and seems to have aroused opposition.

paragraph: In spite of these obstacles Coventry became, on 17 November 1790, the first professor of agriculture in the university, and continued to hold the post until 1831. The endowment of the chair amounted to only £50 per annum; but Coventry supplemented his work as a teacher by many other duties. 'He was constantly called on to arbitrate in land questions, and to give evidence before the court of session and before committees of the House of Commons; the drainage of Loch Leven and the reclamation of the surrounding lands were carried out under his directions'. Coventry gave evidence before the royal commission appointed in 1826 to investigate the condition of the universities and colleges of Scotland, when he said that he had delivered thirty-two courses, some of them, consisting of more than 140 lectures each. Although the subject he taught was not available for graduation, he had attracted classes varying in number from thirty to seventy-eight. Towards the end of his tenure of office, however, he appears to have lectured only in alternate years, 'persuading persons who wished to attend him during any session when he was to be absent to put off doing so, and to attend the classes of chemistry and botany in the meantime.' The royal commission, which concluded its labours in 1830, recommended among other reforms that the chair of agriculture should be abolished 'unless a class could be provided for it, and taught regularly.'

paragraph: In 1792 Coventry was elected a Fellow of the Royal Society of Edinburgh. His proposers were Daniel Rutherford, James Gregory, and Sir James Hall. His address was then given as 29 Moray Place, an impressive townhouse on the Moray Estate in western Edinburgh.

paragraph: In late life Coventry lived at 2 North Charlotte Street, just off Charlotte Square.

paragraph: Coventry, who was then sixty-nine, accordingly resigned, and was succeeded by David Low (1786–1859) on 16 March 1831. He died on 17 December 1830 and is buried in Buccleuch Churchyard in the south side of the city.

paragraph: Section::::Family.

paragraph: He married twice: firstly to Eliza Hastie in 1790; secondly (following Eliza's death in 1797) he married Martha Cunningham in 1799.

paragraph: By his second marriage he had a son, also Andrew Coventry (1801–1877) who was an advocate and also a Director of the Commercial Bank of Scotland. He followed in his father's footsteps in also being a Fellow of the Royal Society of Edinburgh.

paragraph: Section::::Works.

paragraph: In addition to the thesis referred to above, Coventry wrote:

paragraph: BULLET::::- "Remarks on Live Stock and relative Subjects", 1806 (not in British Museum, but in library of Faculty of Advocates)

paragraph: BULLET::::- "Discourses explanatory of the Object and Plan of the Course of Lectures on Agriculture and Rural Economy", 1808.

paragraph: BULLET::::- "Notes on the Culture and Cropping of Arable Land", 1811.

paragraph: Don Li (composer/musician)

paragraph: Don Li (* 7 April 1971 in Bern, Switzerland, as Don Pfäffli) is a Swiss composer, musician (clarinet, saxophone) and music producer of reductive music.

paragraph: Section::::Life and music.

paragraph: Born into a family of graphic artists, he played drums, piano and saxophone as a child and started writing his own compositions at the age of 16. As a young saxophonist he played with George Gruntz, Christy Doran, Harald Haerter and Joseph Bowie, among others.

paragraph: He presented most of his compositions with his sextet "Tonus" (1993–2002), which consisted of the musicians Mich Gerber (1997–1998), Nik Bärtsch (1996–2002), Björn Meyer (1998–2002), Werner Hasler (1995–2002), Marco Agovino (1993–2002) and Patrick Lerjen (1993–2002). The album Gen, released in 1999, which forgoes all solo contributions and thus intensifies to become a mesmerizing 27-minute suite, has particularly been acclaimed by reviewers. With respect to rhythm, sound and concept, Gen presents nearly all elements which characterize the essence of Tonus-Music.

paragraph: In 1999, Don Li founded the music label Tonus-Music-Records and began publishing recordings of various musicians. In 2000, he established the Tonus-Music Laboratory in Bern (Since 2012 renamed as Orbital Garden), which functions as a recording studio and public experimental lab as well as a workshop and teaching location; it also serves as a performance site mostly for interdisciplinary and unorthodox performances – such as a 48-hour non-stop drumbeat performance. He has used the lab to work with, among others, Jojo Mayer, Skúli Sverrisson, Pierre-Yves Borgeaud, Peter Scherer, Ania Losinger, Christian Zehnder, Vidya Shah, Milind Raikar, Sanju Sahai, Kaspar Rast, Asita Hamidi, Björn Meyer, Andi Pupato, Norbert Pfammatter, Nik Bärtsch, Sha, and Zimoun as well as to stage various concerts, exhibitions, lectures and installations. He has also done recordings of the groups of Fabian Kuratli (Fab Four), Asita Hamidi, Bänz Oester, Nik Bärtsch (Mobile) or Christian Zehnder.

paragraph: His "Tonus-Music" concept combines a composing method that relies on reductive discipline and an almost graphic architecture which incorporates components of Indian classical music, jazz, minimal electronics, or funk. He is interested in metric, interlocking and balancing elements of rhythmic structures in combination with musical asceticism. He has been serially numbering his compositions (parts), which often consist of a single formula, ever since; he compares them with Japanese Haikus and calls them musical sculptures. "It has been seven years now since the saxophonist, clarinettist, composer, band leader and organizer Don Li ... published the twenty-six-minute-long CD , a relatively short prelude to a phenomenon which breaks the mold of purely musical categories." Georg Modestin, der Bund 2006

paragraph: Since 2005, his works have been dealing with the conscious, chronological structuring of time and, in synchronization with the PC, last exactly 60 minutes (Orbital Garden).

paragraph: Section::::Awards.

paragraph: In 2006, Don Li received a commission from Pro Helvetia, and in 2006 After receiving a New York scholarship from the city of Bern (2002), he was given the option to cooperate in the grant "Werkjahr der Stadt Bern". In 2008 he was awarded the German Record Critics‘ Prize (Preis der deutschen Schallplattenkritik).

paragraph: Anne Kingsbury Wollstonecraft

paragraph: Anne Kingsbury Wollstonecraft (born 29 October 1791, Rindge, died 16 May 1828, Matanzas) was a North American botanist, naturalist, botanical illustrator, and women's rights advocate, active in colonial Cuba in the early nineteenth century.

paragraph: Section::::Family.

paragraph: Anne Kingsbury was born Oct. 29, 1791, in Rindge, New Hampshire. Her parents were Benjamin Kingsbury and Abigail Sawin (1748-1793). She married Charles Wollstonecraft, whose sister, Mary Wollstonecraft, achieved fame in Britain as a philosopher, author, and advocate for the rights of women.

paragraph: Section::::Career.

paragraph: Following the death of her husband in 1817, Anne Wollstonecraft moved to Matanzas, Cuba. While there, she studied the flora of the island, and in the mid-1820s, created an extensive illustrated manuscript, "Specimens of the Plants and Fruits of the Island of Cuba", an important resource for the study of colonial naturalism in Cuba. She was able to publish several of her botanical discoveries during her life, many under the pseudonym D’Anville. One letter was published in the Boston Monthly Magazine. However, although she sent the manuscript to a publisher months before her death, Wollstonecraft's manuscript for "Specimens of the Plants and Fruits of the Island of Cuba" was never published. While Wollstonecraft devoted most of her writing to botany and ecology, she also wrote in support of women's rights, including "The Natural Rights of Women," also published in the "Boston Monthly Magazine". Wollstonecraft died May 16, 1828.

paragraph: Wollstonecraft's three-volume manuscript, "Specimens of the Plants and Fruits of the Island of Cuba", was thought by scholars to have been lost, but was rediscovered in March 2018 through the process of digitization. It has now been made available to view or download online via the Hathi Trust, courtesy of the Cornell University Library.

paragraph: Rebecca Tobey

paragraph: Rebecca Tobey is an American artist from Santa Fe, New Mexico, who creates ceramic, brass, and patina animal sculptures in both modern and abstract styles. Along with her husband, Gene, she worked for decades to create animal forms. Her artworks, inspired by the mythologies of the Native Americans, have been commissioned by the government and private institutions, and exhibited worldwide.

paragraph: Section::::Early life.

paragraph: Rebecca Tobey was born Rebecca Upton in 1948 in Ann Arbor, Michigan to Arthur and Elizabeth. She was raised in eastern Tennessee, where her father was a scientist at Oak Ridge and her mother was a graphic designer. Throughout her childhood, she was fascinated with animals and nature. She and her siblings spent their summer holidays at a resort on Watts Bar Lake in Tennessee.

paragraph: Tobey left Tennessee to study at the Rogers Hall School, a boarding school in Lowell, Maryland, where her teachers told her that she was not talented enough to become an artist. Tobey obtained a BA and MA degree in theater arts from Aldelphi University and later started her professional life in Long Island, New York.

paragraph: Section::::Move to Santa Fe.

paragraph: Initially, Tobey lived and worked in New York City; however, during a 1975 stopover in Santa Fe, New Mexico, she was inspired to spontaneously move there. She worked as the director of a Santa Fe art gallery and met Gene Tobey, who had held an exhibition of his raku pottery; the duo started collaborating on artwork. Initially, they made ceramics, but from the later part of 1990s, the pair began using other mediums, such as bronze and patina. In 1997, Rebecca and Gene created their first sculpture, "Wind River," which they exhibited at Western State College, Gunnison, Colorado, where their children were studying. Their second sculpture was a large, curved buffalo named "The Tobey Buffalo". "Rising Star," another buffalo sculpture, was smaller and carved in bronze. The animal forms they created were inspired by Native American mythologies.

paragraph: Tobey creates animal sculptures with overlaid features, based on her conceptual thinking and pictures. Some of her ceramic sculptures are inscribed with graffiti and perforations which "create interesting compositions using negative space." She created many sculptures with her husband, such as the "Spirit Walker" bear sculpture, which was exhibited and donated to the Law School of Baylor University in 2000; the sculpture's surface is inscribed with sketches of the history of Waco. "Pathfinder," her bronze sculpture of a -tall grizzly bear, is on display at the Western State College; it is considered a lucky charm by students, who kiss the statue before taking an examination.

paragraph: One of Tobey's notable works, a "prong-horned antelope with hand prints and eagles in flight," was auctioned for the Cancer Foundation for New Mexico, which she supports.

paragraph: Section::::Personal life.

paragraph: Rebecca met Gene in Santa Fe, New Mexico in 1984. They opened a new gallery called "Gallery Five" in Santa Fe's Springer Plaza, the following year, but it had to be closed down in August 1985 due to lack of clientele. In November 1985 they married and later collaborated to create ceramic sculptures, starting with dishes and common use ceramics leading to emblematic animals. Gene died of leukemia in 2006. Tobey currently resides in Santa Fe, New Mexico.

paragraph: Rocco Prestia

paragraph: Francis Rocco Prestia (born March 7, 1951) is an American bassist, best known for his work with the funk band Tower of Power.

paragraph: Section::::Biography.

paragraph: Born in Sonora, California, Prestia started playing electric guitar as an adolescent. When he auditioned for Emilio Castillo's band, Tower of Power, Castillo persuaded him to switch to electric bass.

paragraph: Prestia worked with the band for the next three decades, before he became seriously ill in 2001. His fans and friends created a foundation in order to help pay the artist's medical costs. On December 5, 2014, Prestia underwent successful kidney transplant surgery.

paragraph: Section::::Technique and influences.

paragraph: Prestia is a master of "fingerstyle funk", a technique in which he lightly mutes the strings with his left hand to get a percussive sound, with the pitch remaining clear and accurate. That characteristic sound, in combination with a highly rhythmic approach to bass lines, makes Prestia's sound unmistakable.

paragraph: Along with James Jamerson, Stanley Clarke, Anthony Jackson and Alphonso Johnson, Prestia belongs to a generation of musicians that fostered a revolution on the electric bass—inspiring the innovative work of Jaco Pastorius in the mid-1970s. Prestia's influential style can be heard on classic Tower of Power tracks such as the 1973 hit "What is Hip". Prestia cites James Jamerson and the different musicians who worked for James Brown (particularly Bootsy Collins) as his main influences.

paragraph: Section::::Equipment.

paragraph: Prestia's primary instruments are his Fender Precision basses (a purple transparent American Deluxe and a natural ash-bodied short-lived signature model with a reverse split pickup and a 2-band EQ). In recent years he has maintained an association with the Conklin company that provided him a custom built four-string instrument, one of the few in the company's catalog.

paragraph: In January 2013, ESP Guitars announced that Prestia had joined their roster of endorsed artists. The company made reference to the introduction of their LTD RB series in May 22, 2014.

paragraph: Section::::Career.

paragraph: In 1981, Ringenberg moved to Nashville, Tennessee, where he soon formed Jason and the Scorchers with Warner Hodges, Jeff Johnson, and Perry Baggs. Their potent mix of punk rock and country gained them fans around the world. In the words of "Rolling Stone" they "singlehandedly re-wrote the history of rock'n'roll in the South". They won critical approval with the release of successful albums and energetic live performances.

paragraph: Jason & the Scorchers had several hits, including "Golden Ball and Chain" and a rock version of Bob Dylan's "Absolutely Sweet Marie."

" He now performs both solo as Jason Ringenberg and as his children's music character, Farmer Jason, often performing as both personas in the same day.

paragraph: Ringenberg created his children's music character, Farmer Jason, in 2002 to entertain his own daughters. He then released his first children's record on the Yep Roc Records label; "A Day at the Farm with Farmer Jason", in 2003.

His PBS mini program called "It's a Farmer Jason" has earned four Emmy nominations and one Emmy win. He has recorded four records and a DVD as Farmer Jason. The fourth album, "Christmas on the Farm with Farmer Jason", was released in December 2014.

paragraph: His newest album "Stand Tall" (2019) was written while he was Artist in Residence at Sequoia National Park.

paragraph: Mikhail Lozinsky

paragraph: Mikhail Leonidovich Lozinsky (Russian: Михаил Леонидович Лозинский, 20 July 1886 – 31 January 1955) is deemed to be the most accomplished Russian translator of the 20th century. "In the difficult and noble art of translation," said Anna Akhmatova, "Lozinsky was for the twentieth century what Zhukovsky was for the nineteenth." Lozinsky's granddaughters include writers Tatyana Tolstaya and Natalia Tolstaya.

paragraph: Lozinsky was born in Gatchina and spent his life in St. Petersburg. His uncle was married to an aunt of Alexander Blok, who was one of the first to appreciate Lozinsky's highly polished verse. During the Silver Age of Russian Poetry he was close to the Acmeist circle of Nikolay Gumilyov; he was briefly arrested and interrogated following the latter's execution.

paragraph: Despite his impeccable craftsmanship, Lozinsky's poetry failed to attract public attention owing to its lack of substance and originality. Lozinsky therefore began applying his literary skills to the translation of works by notable non-Russian literary figures such as Benvenuto Cellini, Lope de Vega, Richard Brinsley Sheridan, and others. In his diary, Blok noted that some of Lozinsky's translations were superior to those of Zhukovsky, who had been regarded as a model for Russian verse translators for generations.

paragraph: Lozinsky's greatest feat was his translation of Dante's "The Divine Comedy" which he completed between 1939 and 1945 in spite of poor health. This accomplishment won him the Stalin Prize in 1946.

paragraph: Lozinsky's copious translations of Shakespeare have been somewhat less popular than contemporary translations by Boris Pasternak and Samuil Marshak. Unlike them, Lozinsky did not strive to modernise Shakespeare by stripping him of obscure details and puns. Soviet critics tended to dismiss his Shakespeare translations as "obscure, heavy, and unintelligible"; Akhmatova, however, felt that Lozinsky brilliantly achieved his aim of "conveying the age of Shakespeare's language and the complexity about which even the English complain".

paragraph: Earle Williams

paragraph: Earle Williams (February 28, 1880 in Sacramento, California - April 25, 1927 in Hollywood, Los Angeles, California) was a silent film star.

paragraph: Section::::Biography.

paragraph: Vitagraph company's leading man in the 1910s, Earle Williams was voted America's number one star in 1915, starting his career on stage as a teenager, the year he made perhaps his most popular film of all, "The Juggernaut". Vitagraph wrecked a real train in this action melodrama, which co-starred Williams with his most frequent leading lady, Anita Stewart. They were also teamed in the studio's earliest and perhaps most famous entry in the then-popular serial genre, "The Goddess" in 1915, and Williams made a dashing gentleman thief in Vitagraph's 1917 version of the ever popular Arsene Lupin. He continued his popularity streak into the 1920s, often portraying stalwart military heroes. Williams' early death was attributed to bronchial pneumonia. He was forty-seven years old.

paragraph: Viacheslav Chornovil

paragraph: Viacheslav Chornovil () (December 24, 1937 in Yerky, Katerynopil Raion, Kiev Oblast – March 25, 1999, near Boryspil, Kiev Oblast) was a Ukrainian politician. A prominent Ukrainian dissident in the Soviet Union, he was arrested multiple times in the 1960s and 1970s for his political views. A long-time advocate of Ukrainian independence, he was one of the most prominent political figures of the late 1980s and early 1990s who paved the path of the contemporary Ukraine to its independence.

paragraph: Section::::Education.

paragraph: Chornovil enrolled into the University of Kiev initially at the College of Philology (faculty), but after the first semester transferred to the College of Journalism. In 1958 due to conflict in the university he took a break from studying and went for construction project in Zhdanov of a blast furnace and later worked for the "Kiev Komsomolets". Chornovil was a member of the Komsomol of Ukraine. He graduated in 1960 with honors and defended his diploma with a thesis "Publicistic work of Borys Hrinchenko".

paragraph: Section::::Journalist.

paragraph: Chornovil worked for various newspapers and in television in Lviv and Kyiv between 1960 and 1964.

paragraph: In 1964 he moved to Vyshhorod and participated in the construction of the Kyiv Hydro-electric Station (see Kyiv Reservoir). During the same year, Chornovil also enrolled as a postgraduate student (see Candidate of Sciences) of the Drahomov National Pedagogical University, but was not allowed to study.

paragraph: On 5 September 1965, with Ivan Dzyuba and Vasyl Stus, Chornovil protested at the premier of Sergei Paradjanov's "Shadows of Forgotten Ancestors" outside the Ukraina movie theater . This led to him being sacked from his job and searched by the police. For refusing to be a witness and testify at the trials of the Horyn brothers, Chornovil was given three months of forced labor.

paragraph: He acquired the reputation of a dissident after documenting the illegal imprisonment of certain Ukrainian intellectuals. Later, he covered a similar story about twenty Ukrainians ("Woe from Wit"). Charged with libel and sentenced to three years in a maximum security prison, Chornovil was released after 18 months under a general amnesty in 1967, marking the fiftieth anniversary of the 1917 October Revolution. "The Times" awarded him the Nicholas Tomalin Prize for the documentation of the trials.

paragraph: Section::::Dissident.

paragraph: During his exile in 1969 Chornovil married to Atena Pashko. In 1970 he managed to find a job at the meteorological station in Zakarpattia, provided a manual labor for an archaeological expedition to the Odessa Region, and at the railroad station "Sknyliv" in Lviv. At the same time Chornovil created an underground magazine "Ukraine Herald". From 1971 onwards, he worked for the Lviv department of the Ukraine Nature Conservation Society.

paragraph: He was imprisoned a second time in 1972 for being involved in Ukrainian independence movements and affiliated publications. This time Chornovil was given six years of imprisonment and three more years of exile. He served this term of imprisonment in Mordva camps for political prisoners in the villages of Ozernoye and Barashevo, where he frequently took part in protests, demonstrations and hunger strikes. Chornovil spent half of his term at Camp 17 in the punishment cell or in solitary confinement in the camp prison.

paragraph: Chornovil renounced his Soviet citizenship and decided to move to Canada in 1975, but was not permitted to do so. In 1976, he joined the newly-formed Ukrainian Helsinki Group, set up to monitor the USSR's compliance with the 1975 Helsinki Accords. In 1978 Chornovil was exiled to the Soviet Far East, travelling the thousands of miles by train, and on foot to the village of Chappandu (Yakutia). There he worked as a laborer at a local state farm (sovkhoz), later as a supplier in Nyurba. In 1978 he was admitted to the International PEN society.

paragraph: Chornovil was arrested yet again in April 1981, on charges of "attempted rape" and sentenced to five years imprisonment. In protest he went on a 120-day-long hunger strike. He was released in 1983, but following an objection by the Prosecutor of the Yakut ASSR he was not to allow return to Ukraine. Finally back in West Ukraine, Chornovil could only find work in May 1985 as a stoker, at both the Lviv Miskrembudtrest (City Maintenance Construction Trust) and a specialized school in the city.

paragraph: Section::::Politician.

paragraph: In the late 1980s he actively participated in the Ukrainian national movement becoming the first leader of the People's Movement of Ukraine (better known as Rukh). In 1988 there was a first attempt to create the "Democratic Front in support of Perestroika" in Lviv only to be dispersed by the Soviet OMON canine unit. Later he promoted several nationally oriented actions, one of them was the "Human chain" that took place on January 21, 1990 and commemorated the act of unification of the Ukrainian lands in 1919 (see Act Zluky).

paragraph: Chornovil ran for President of Ukraine in 1991 but was defeated, winning only in western Ukraine. He was one of the most important members of the People's Movement of Ukraine. He was elected to the Verkhovna Rada for the People's Movement of Ukraine in 1994 and 1998 and was the head of that party. In 1999 his party was almost dissolved due to disagreements within. There are speculations that the failure to liquidate the party led to the road "accident" that took Chornovil's life. That fact is mentioned in the documentary movie of Volodymyr Onyshchenko "He who awoke the Stone state".

paragraph: Chornovil was expected to be the main opposition candidate to incumbent president Leonid Kuchma in the 1999 presidential election. Chornovil's presidential campaign was brought to an abrupt end, however, on 25 March 1999 when he and his assistant Yevgen Pavlov both died in a suspicious automobile crash.

paragraph: Section::::Death and remembrance.

paragraph: The official investigation carried by the Ministry of Internal Affairs concluded that the crash was purely accidental and discovered no evidence of the foul play. However, some of Chornovil's supporters called his death a political murder and called on bringing those responsible for it to justice. The theory of murder is stated on the website dedicated to Vyacheslav Chornovil and created by his son Taras Chornovil, a deputy of Verkhovna Rada formerly from the Party of Regions.

paragraph: In 2003, the National Bank of Ukraine issued a commemorative coin with the nominal of 2 Hryvnias dedicated to Chornovil.

paragraph: On August 23, 2006, President Viktor Yushchenko unveiled a monument to Chornovil and ordered a new investigation into his death. On September 6, 2006, Yuri Lutsenko, the head of the Ministry of Internal Affairs, announced that based on the information he saw, he personally believes that Chornovil was a victim of murder rather than a car accident. Lutsenko stated further that the investigation is now carried by the Office of the Prosecutor General of Ukraine and the Security Service of Ukraine, the law enforcement authorities not under Lutsenko's control. He went further, alluding that "certain circles" in the Prosecutor's Office and Security Service are stonewalling the investigation. However, on August 9, Oleksandr Medvedko, the Prosecutor General of Ukraine, commented at the news conference that Lutsenko's statement is "unprofessional" as his conclusions are based on unreliable information.

paragraph: On March 25, 2009 a funeral service was held near the memorial sign in Boryspil, and admirers (including the Mayor of Kiev (then Leonid Chernovetskyi)) laid flowers on his monument in Kiev to mark the 10-year anniversary of Chornovil's death.

paragraph: In 2009, a Ukrainian stamp devoted to Chornovil was issued.

paragraph: Andreas Latzko

paragraph: Andreas Latzko (; 1 September 1876, Budapest, Hungary11 September 1943, Amsterdam, Netherlands) was an Austro-Hungarian pacifist of Jewish origin, a novelist and biographer.

paragraph: Section::::Early life.

paragraph: Andreas Latzko attended grammar school and high school in Budapest. After high school, he served in the Imperial and Royal Austria-Hungarian army as a one-year volunteer and was a reserve officer of the "Ersatzheer". He then went to Berlin, where he first studied chemistry and then philosophy at the University of Berlin.

paragraph: Section::::Career beginnings.

paragraph: Latzko wrote his first literary works in Hungarian. His first in German, a one-act play, was published in Berlin. He also worked as a journalist, traveling to Egypt, India, Ceylon and Java.

paragraph: Section::::World War I and its aftermath.

paragraph: In August 1914, at the beginning of World War I, he returned to Egypt and served as an officer in the Imperial and Royal "Wehrmacht" of Austria-Hungary. With the beginning of the war between Italy and Austria-Hungary, he was sent to the front on the Isonzo River. He fell ill with malaria, but he was not sent away from the front until he suffered a severe shock from a heavy Italian artillery attack near Gorizia.

paragraph: After eight months in the hospital, he moved at the end of 1916 to the Swiss resort town of Davos for further recuperation and rehabilitation. While there he wrote six chapters of his book "Men in War", which deals with the Great War at the River Isonzo front. In 1917, the book was published anonymously in Zurich by Rascher-Verlag. Karl Kraus wrote in his magazine "Die Fackel", "This book is a scream and a relevant document about the Great War and humanity. Some people know the day is not so far off when the officials of Austria will be proud to be involved into the war by that book." The book was a great success and translated into 19 languages. However, every country involved in the war banned it, and the army supreme command demoted Latzko.

paragraph: In 1918 the book was printed again in an edition of 33,000 copies. It was widely praised, with one critic describing the novel's theme of "disillusionment and an almost morbid sympathy with mental and physical suffering" as well as "a prevailing nihilistic tone". "The New York Times" said it was "a bitter attack upon the by-products of the Teutonic military idea."

paragraph: While in Switzerland, Latzko met Romain Rolland and Stefan Zweig.

paragraph: Latzko wrote and published two more novels in 1918: "The Judgement of Peace", about the lives of German soldiers on the Western Front, and "The Wild Man". That same year, he wrote the text "Women in War" for the International Women’s Conference in Bern.

paragraph: Section::::Life in Germany.

paragraph: With the end of the war in 1918, Latzko moved to Munich and followed the Bavarian republic of Gustav Landauer. He was expelled from Bavaria and moved to Salzburg, where he met Georg Friedrich Nicolai during the latter's visit to Stefan Zweig. Nicolai had published a book in 1917, "The Biology of War", that Latzko admired. In Salzburg, Latzko worked as a journalist and wrote articles for several newspapers.

paragraph: Section::::Later career and death.

paragraph: In 1929, his novel "Seven Days" was published. He moved to Amsterdam in 1931. In 1933, the Hitler regime ordered his books burned. He lived in Amsterdam at Merwedeplein. He died there in 1943. He is buried at Zorgvlied, in the same grave as his wife who died in 1965.
