paragraph: Henri Evrard, marquis de Dreux-Brézé

paragraph: Henri Evrard, marquis de Dreux-Brézé (17621829) was a member of the French nobility who at the age of twenty-seven played a role in the meeting of the states-general in 1789. Brézé had succeeded his father Thomas as court master of the ceremonies to Louis XVI in 1781.

paragraph: During the opening stages of the Estates-General of 1789 it fell to Brézé to regulate the questions of etiquette and precedence between the three estates. That as the immediate representative of the crown he would offend the susceptibilities of the deputies of the Third Estate was perhaps inevitable, but little attempt was made to adapt archaic etiquette to changed circumstances. Brézé did not formally intimate to President Bailly the proclamation of the royal séance until the 20th of June, when the carpenters were about to enter the hall to prepare for the event, thus provoking the session in the tennis court. After the royal séance Brézé was sent to reiterate Louis's orders that the estates should meet separately, when Mirabeau replied that the hall could not be cleared "except at the point of bayonets". Brézé withdrew in the face of Miabeau's aggressive stance but followed traditional protocol by walking slowly backwards with his embroidered tricorn on his head.

paragraph: Brézé reported the defiance of the Third Estate back to the king, who was awaiting developments in the nearby royal apartments. Louis reportedly responded "Damn! Oh well let them stay".

paragraph: After the fall of the Tuileries in 1792 Brézé emigrated for a short time, but though he returned to France he was spared during the Terror. At the Restoration he was made a peer of France, and resumed his functions as guardian of an antiquated ceremonial. He died on the 27th of January 1829, when he was succeeded in the peerage and at court by his son Scipion (17931845).

paragraph: Adam Jones (musician)

paragraph: Adam Thomas Jones (born January 15, 1965) is a three-time Grammy Award-winning American musician and visual artist, best known for his position as the guitarist for Tool. Jones has been rated the 75th Greatest Guitarist of all time by the "Rolling Stone" and placed ninth in "Guitar World"s Top 100 Greatest metal Guitarists. Jones is also the director of the majority of Tool's music videos.

paragraph: Section::::Biography.

paragraph: Section::::Biography.:Early years and personal life.

paragraph: Jones was born in Park Ridge, Illinois, raised in Libertyville, Illinois. He was accepted into the Suzuki program, and continued to play violin through his freshman year in high school. As a child he had an interest in animation, turning his ideas into three dimensional sculptures, which explains why Tool's music videos often had 3D-clay effects. He later began to play the acoustic bass in an orchestra.

paragraph: In addition to playing classical music, Jones played bass guitar in the band Electric Sheep, with Tom Morello of Rage Against the Machine playing guitar, until Jones moved to California (Morello soon followed). According to both of them, the band was quite unpopular at the time. Jones never received traditional guitar lessons, but instead learned by ear.

paragraph: On January 27, 2013, Jones became engaged to his girlfriend, painter Korin Faught. The marriage proposal took place before the Royal Rumble event. Their wedding took place on July 6, 2013. They have two children together.

paragraph: Section::::Biography.:Film work.

paragraph: Jones was offered a film scholarship but declined and chose to move to Los Angeles to study art and sculpture. His focus of interest shifted to film, and he began to work as a sculptor and special effects designer, where he learned the stop-motion camera techniques he would later apply in Tool's music videos, such as "Sober", "Prison Sex", "Stinkfist", "Ænema", "Schism", "Parabola" and "Vicarious". He graduated in 1987.

paragraph: After graduation, he went to work at Rick Lazzarini's Character Shop. During the next couple of years, he worked the TV show "Monsters". He designed and fabricated a Grim Reaper makeup and a Zombie head on a spike (later used in "Ghostbusters II") among others. After that, he went to Stan Winston's special effects workshop, where he worked on "Predator 2", sculpting a unique-looking skull for the Predator's spaceship interior.

paragraph: Jones worked on several other big films in Hollywood doing makeup and set design, including "Jurassic Park", "", "Dances with Wolves", and "Ghostbusters II".

paragraph: He did the "Freddy Krueger in the womb" makeup for "," as well as work for "".

paragraph: He also worked on commercials for salad dressing (never aired), Olympic stain (Albert Einstein makeup), and Duracell (boxers and taxicabs).

paragraph: Section::::Biography.:Music career.

paragraph: Jones also toured with Jello Biafra/The Melvins band and contributed to their albums "Never Breathe What You Can't See" and "Sieg Howdy!". Jones and Melvins Guitarist/Vocalist Buzz Osborne are close friends. Jones also appeared on the Melvins album "Hostile Ambient Takeover", the Melvins/Lustmord collaboration "Pigs of the Roman Empire" and the Isis album Wavering Radiant.

paragraph: On "Mr. Show", he appeared as the fictional guitarist of Puscifer along with bandmate Keenan, and can also be spotted in the audience seated at a table with Keenan in the series' first episode.

paragraph: On August 14, 2011, Jones performed the National Anthem of the United States at the outset of WWE's SummerSlam (2011) wrestling event in Los Angeles.

paragraph: Section::::Biography.:Playing style.

paragraph: Adam Jones is known for not predominantly using any particular guitar playing technique, but rather combining many techniques such as "alternately utilizing power chords, scratchy noise, chiming arpeggios, off-beat rhythm patterns, and a quiet minimalism". On "Lateralus" and "10,000 Days", he made heavy use of triplets. Other techniques used to expand his band's sound repertoire require forms of instrumental experimentation and applications of non-instrumental experimentation as well, such as his use of an Epilady as a plectrum on the " Ænima " and "Lateralus" albums for example; continuing in this direction on the Tool song, "Jambi", Jones uses a talk box. In the song "Third Eye", he makes use of a guitar slide for the opening. He has two synthesizers that are listed below in his effects section. Live, Jones can be seen with a large pedalboard full of effects, including a DOD FX-40B Equalizer (EQ) pedal, Boss BF-2 Flanger, Boss DD-3 Digital Delay, MXR Micro Amp, Dunlop BB535 and two Boss Master switch/power supply pedals among a few others. In a 1994 interview, he mentioned the band Helmet as an influence.

paragraph: Section::::Biography.:Visual art.

paragraph: Jones created the liner art for the re-release of Peach's "Giving Birth to a Stone", in which Jones's fellow Tool member Justin Chancellor played bass.

paragraph: He helped Green Jellÿ with their costumes.

paragraph: In 2007 he received the Grammy Award for 'Best Recording Package' as art director for his work on "10,000 Days".

paragraph: Jones came up with the make-up layout the actors wore on the videos for "Schism" and "Parabol/Parabola".

paragraph: In his spare time, Jones shoots photography that is used for the visuals at live Tool concerts.

paragraph: Jones draws his own comics, a habit he began as a young child manipulating his ideas into 2-D form on paper. An "X-Files/30 Days of Night" crossover in 2010 was co-written by Jones and "30 Days" creator Steve Niles with artwork by Tom Mandrake.

paragraph: John Chisholm (soldier)

paragraph: John Chisholm, 16th-century Scottish soldier and chief officer, Comptroller and "Prefect" of the Scottish artillery for Mary, Queen of Scots and James VI of Scotland, and keeper of the King's Wark in Leith. Chisholm was a supporter of Mary, Queen of Scots after her exile in England.

paragraph: Section::::Career.

paragraph: Section::::Career.:Mary's fireworks.

paragraph: Mary, Queen of Scots was eager for Chisholm's arrival as a messenger in Perth in April 1564. As Comptroller of the Royal Artillery for Mary, he received in 1565 the large sum of 10,000 Scottish marks on behalf of the Queen, from the Burgh council of Edinburgh, for the right of superiority of Edinburgh over Leith. The money was used to take the royal artillery to the west of Scotland during the rebellion called the Chaseabout Raid.

paragraph: John Chisholm arranged the firework display for the baptism of her son Prince James at Stirling Castle in December 1566. The preparations were expensive, and John had to send to the Queen twice for extra money. John's account for the event lists his ingredients, including, colophony, orpiment, quicksilver, arrows and dozens of small pottery vessels. The fireworks were made in Leith and shipped to Stirling in great secrecy, being carried to the castle at the dead of night "for feir of knowledge thairof." John also arranged the making of costumes used in a pageant of an assault on a mock castle.

paragraph: Section::::Career.:King's Wark in Leith.

paragraph: In April 1567 Mary, Queen of Scots confirmed in Parliament John Chisholm's possession of the King's Wark in Leith, which he had held in "feu" since May 1564. There, John was in charge of the long established Shore-side arsenal which served the Royal Scots Navy. The arsenal had been founded by James I of Scotland in 1434. The buildings, which included a tower had been burnt in May 1544 during the war of the Rough Wooing after 80,000 cannonballs were looted by the English army. In 1545 Robert Logan of Restalrig used the tower as a Tolbooth for Leith. Now demolished, the tower was depicted in a drawing by John Slezer in 1693. The site is now a bar and restaurant.

paragraph: Anne of Denmark arrived in Scotland on 1 May 1590 with James VI, and stayed five nights in the King's Wark. The path from the ship to their throne room in Chisholm's house was strewn with tapestry. The ceremony of the reception at Leith and the King's Wark had been carefully planned the previous September. A special wooden stair was built for her to enter directly into the first-floor hall. There were chairs for Anne and James VI on this "scaffold", where they sat in public and listened to a speech of welcome called an oration or "harangue," made by James Elphinstone in French. The directions included the order of entry, seating, and even where people should look. Once Anne was in the King's Wark, the scaffold was taken away, and the people of Leith were ordered to unload any guns and forbidden to mend ships on the Shore until she left.

paragraph: The buildings passed to Bernard Lindsay of Lochhill in 1606 by Act of Parliament. As a courtier and chamber servant of James VI, Lindsay had brought Henry Wotton to James VI at Dunfermline Palace in 1601, when Wotton was masquerading as an Italian "Octavio Baldi". Lindsay was required to reserve a cellar for storing wines for the King's use. He also added a tennis court. In 1612 he planned a stone arched open arcade facing the shore with seating for merchants to be the burse or exchange of Leith. The king granted him a tax on wine imports for the building work. In preparation for James's "salmonlike" return to Scotland in 1617, cannon wheels and stocks were kept there, and in 1623 the Master of Work, James Murray of Kilbaberton stored cannon and shot from a Dunkirk ship in Bernard Lindsay's Close. It is thought that Bernard Street takes its name from Lindsay of Lochhill. In 1647 the site was acquired by Edinburgh burgh council from William Dick of Braid.

paragraph: Section::::Career.:Adversity.

paragraph: John Chisholm was appointed Prefect and "Second Person" of the royal artillery of Scotland (S. D. N. Regis Machinarii Bellitarii Prefecti) on 23 August 1569, during the Regency of the James Stewart, Earl of Moray. In 1570, Chisholm joined William Kirkcaldy of Grange in the garrison of Edinburgh Castle that remained loyal to Mary, Queen of Scots. During the following 'Lang Siege' of the Castle and Marian civil war, Chisholm travelled abroad seeking support and supplies. In February 1571 he was in London and wrote about ongoing peace negotiations, hoping that Elizabeth I of England would act to restore Mary to the Scottish throne. He hoped that the frustrating talks would be concluded soon; "I hoip seurlie within sax ouilkis (six weeks), we salbe at our wittis end and sooner."

paragraph: Chisholm visited Mary at Sheffield Castle, and took letters to France in April, borrowing £3 from John Lesley, Bishop of Ross. The Bishop kept a note of Chisholm's movements; he returned to Scotland from Dieppe in June 1571, carrying money sent by the exiled Bishop of Glasgow, cannonballs of four different calibres and pikes. These supplies were obtained from Charles IX of France. Chisholm and his ship were captured at North Queensferry in July by Patrick, Lord Lindsay, but he managed to pass some of the money to Mary's supporters. It was thought he had intended to take Tantallon Castle, linking up with Mary's supporters who unsuccessfully attacked the castle on 2 July 1571.

paragraph: Chisholm was allowed to return to France and joined the Bishop of Glasgow. In March 1573 William Maitland of Lethington thought his adversaries had discovered the key to the cipher code he used in his letters when James Kirkcaldy was captured. He used John Chisholm's code in a letter to the Bishop. Agents of the English Secretary of State, William Cecil, intercepted and easily decoded this letter. John wrote to Mary, Queen of Scots from Paris in August 1575. He asked that he might come to England and serve in her household with his wife, and concluded his letter with his hopes of Mary's "suddane" delivery from her troubles.

paragraph: Section::::Career.:Rehabilitation.

paragraph: After this period of exile, in July 1576 Chisholm gained an official pardon for his support of Mary and Grange and unauthorized travel abroad. On 31 May 1579 he was re-appointed as "Comptroller and Second Person of the Artillery and Munition within all parts of Scotland." The gift of the King's Wark, "Opus Regium," was confirmed in May 1588, giving his title as; "Compotorus Rotulatori Tormentorum Bellicorum" – Controller of the accounting rolls for war machines.

paragraph: The French Ambassador Bertrand de Salignac de la Mothe-Fénelon noted that Chisholm was still active as a supporter of Mary in February 1583, and Chisholm asked that Mary should continue paying him a pension. In May 1583 The English diplomat Robert Bowes reported him as a "notorious instrument" for Maineville, the agent of the Esmé Stewart, 1st Duke of Lennox who was expelled from Scotland by the Gowrie Regime.

paragraph: Lippo d'Andrea

paragraph: Lippo d'Andrea di Lippo (1370/1371 - before 1451) was a Florentine painter, formerly known as Pseudo-Ambrogio di Baldese.

paragraph: In 1411, Lippo d'Andrea di Lippo joined the Compagnia di San Luca. That same year he was commissioned, along with Niccolò di Pietro Gerini, Ambrogio di Baldese, and Alvaro di Pietro, to paint frescoes on the facade of the Palazzo del Ceppo in Prato. His name has also been connected, although without any documentary proof, to the frescoes in the Nerli Chapel at Santa Maria del Carmine, Florence; the appearance in 1402 of the name 'Lippo' has led to speculations that the creator of the frescoes was indeed Lippo d'Andrea. The other surviving reference to his name comes in 1435-36. That year, Lippo d'Andrea was a member of the group, which included Bicci di Lorenzo, Giovanni dal Ponte, and Rossello di Jacopo Franchi, that was given the task of painting frescoes of the apostles in the tribune chapels of Florence cathedral to celebrate the consecration of the newly built dome by Pope Eugene IV.

paragraph: Born in Florence, Paolo Schiavo enrolled in the Arte dei Medici e Speziali (the guild of Doctors and Apothecaries, which was joined by Dante Alighieri too) in 1428. According to Vasari, he was a follower of Masolino. Schiavo dedicated a lot of his later works to Masolino. Among his dedications were frescoes of the "Virgin and Child Enthroned with Saints" (1436), of "The Crucifixion Adored by Nuns" (1447-8) and of the "Adoration of the Magi", the "Annunciation and various saints". He made several other works, all of which bear his signature and their corresponding dates.

categories: 1841 births,English engineers,1916 deaths

paragraph: Corbet Woodall (gas engineer)

paragraph: Sir Corbet Woodall (27 August 1841 – 17 May 1916) was an English gas engineer. He was Governor of the Gas Light and Coke Company from 1906 to 1916.

paragraph: Section::::Early and private life.

paragraph: Woodall was born in Liverpool, where his father was the manager of Liverpool gasworks. He was educated at the Congregationalist Crescent School in Liverpool, and followed his father and two older brothers in the coal gas industry. His eldest brother William Woodall was Liberal MP for Stoke-on-Trent and then Hanley.

paragraph: He married Anne Whiteman in 1865. They had five daughters and five sons. Four of his sons also worked in the gas industry: Henry joined the gas engineering consultancy practice and was also a director of the Gas Light and Coke Company; Harold worked with Arthur Duckham to develop continuous vertical retort for manufacturing gas from coal, and they founded Woodall-Duckham.

paragraph: Section::::Career.

paragraph: Woodall moved to London to work for the Woolwich Equitable Gas Company in 1859. Approximately 6 years later, he became manager of the municipal gas works in Stockton-on-Tees. The small Stockton-on-Tees gasworks was substantially expanded under his management, and he also started providing his expertise as a consulting engineer to other gasworks in the north east of England. He returned to London in 1869 to become manager of the Phoenix Gas Company gasworks in Vauxhall, and became its chief engineer in 1872. He was in charge of the construction of the gas holders in Kennington Lane, near The Oval in 1878. He continued to work as a consulting engineer, and became a full-time consultant in private practice after the Phoenix Gas Company was acquired by the South Metropolitan Gas Company in 1880.

paragraph: He became recognized as a leading gas engineer, and became a director of the Gas Light and Coke Company in 1897. The Company had been established in 1812, the first gas company in Britain, and was a bitter rival of Sir George Livesey's South Metropolitan Gas Company. Woodall helped the company to improve the technical efficiency of its operations to compete with South Metropolitan. He succeeded Sir William Thomas Makins, Bt as Governor of the Gas Light and Coke Company in 1906. The Company was then the largest gas company in the world. He tried to foster good relations with the company's employees, introducing a "co-partnership" scheme. He was honorary colonel of the 12th Battalion of the London Regiment ("the Rangers"), a Territorial Force battalion mainly composed of gas company employees. He was also a partner of Edward B. Ellington in devising schemes for hydraulic power networks in various cities in the UK and Australia, including the London Hydraulic Power Company.

paragraph: Section::::Honours.

paragraph: He was a member of the Gas Institute (later the Institution of Gas Engineers and now the Institution of Gas Engineers and Managers), the Institution of Civil Engineers and the Institution of Mechanical Engineers. He was elected president of the Institution of Gas Engineers three times, in 1877, 1897 and 1912. He became a justice of the peace in Bromley in 1911, received an honorary DSc from the University of Leeds in 1912, and was knighted for services to the gas industry in 1913.

paragraph: He retired to the south of France in 1914, after he started to suffer from heart problems, and died in 1916. He was followed as Governor of the Gas Light and Coke Company by John Miles.

paragraph: His Grade II listed statue stands in the gas employees' war memorial garden in Twelvetrees Crescent.

paragraph: Bernard V of Lippe

paragraph: Bernhard of Lippe (1277-1341) was a German nobleman. He was Prince-Bishop of Paderborn as Bernard V. He is considered the founder of the medieval Prince-bishopric. His territoriality focused policies are characterized by the fact that he was the first bishop who used his family name in his seal, instead of the episcopal title.

paragraph: Section::::Life.

paragraph: Bernhard was a member of the House of Lippe. His parents were Simon I and Adelaide, a daughter of Henry III of Waldeck. In 1305, he was appointed provost of Paderborn under Bishop Otto of Rietberg. He was later appointed as and of the Bishop's territory, and was governor for bishops Günther I (1307-1310) and Dietrich II (1310-1321). From 1321 until his death, he held the office of Bishop himself.

paragraph: He often consulted the Estates about issues regarding the worldly reign of his bishopric and this gave him a strong position. In 1309, a standing council was created, composed of four canons and ministeriales and two citizens from Paderborn and two from Warburg. Bernard promulgated a statue obliging him to take the advice from this council into account. His statue defining the interplay between the Bishop, the cathedral chapter, the Estates and the citizens would shape the territory for a long time. He consolidated the principality's sovereignty by promoting the cities in the bishopric, by purchasing the larger part of the town of Brakel and by founding the cities of Dringenberg and Peckelsheim. Paderborn became one of the wealthiest cities in Westphalia. Bernard strengthened Marienmünster Abbey and the market towns of Vörden, Bredenborn and the town of Beverungen with financial donations.

paragraph: To finance his activities, Bernard used both tax money and his own money. After the food crisis of 1316/1317, an economic crisis ensued. In 1326, this forced Bernard to close a deal with the cathedral chapter and the Estates. Known as the , it obliged the Bishop to consult with the Estates before levying taxes; the Estates promised to grant such requests when they were necessary.

paragraph: Charles Clinton Fleek

paragraph: Charles Clinton "Chalky" Fleek (August 28, 1947 – May 27, 1969) was a United States Army soldier and a posthumous recipient of the United States military's highest decoration—the Medal of Honor—for his actions in the Vietnam War.

paragraph: Section::::Biography.

paragraph: Fleek joined the Army from Cincinnati, Ohio in 1968, and by May 27, 1969, was serving as a sergeant in Company C, 1st Battalion, 27th Infantry Regiment, 25th Infantry Division. During a firefight on that day, in Bình Dương Province, Republic of Vietnam, Fleek used his helmet to scoop up an enemy-thrown hand grenade. The grenade exploded before he could get it away from his body, sacrificing his life to protect those around him.

paragraph: Fleek, aged 21 at his death, was buried at Burlington Cemetery in Burlington, Kentucky.

paragraph: On August 17, 2018, a section of state highway Kentucky Route 20 in Petersburg, was named the Charles "Chalky" Fleek Memorial Highway.

paragraph: Section::::Medal of Honor citation.

paragraph: Sergeant Fleek's official Medal of Honor citation reads:

paragraph: For conspicuous gallantry and intrepidity in action at the risk of his life above and beyond the call of duty. Sgt. Fleek distinguished himself while serving as a squad leader in Company C, during an ambush operation. Sgt. Fleek's unit was deployed in ambush locations when a large enemy force approached the position. Suddenly, the leading enemy element, sensing the ambush, halted and started to withdraw. Reacting instantly, Sgt. Fleek opened fire and directed the effective fire of his men upon the numerically superior enemy force. During the fierce battle that followed, an enemy soldier threw a grenade into the squad position. Realizing that his men had not seen the grenade, Sgt. Fleek, although in a position to seek cover, shouted a warning to his comrades and threw himself onto the grenade, absorbing its blast. His gallant action undoubtedly saved the lives or prevented the injury of at least 8 of his fellow soldiers. Sgt. Fleek's gallantry and willing self-sacrifice were in keeping with the highest traditions of the military service and reflect great credit on himself, his unit, and the U.S. Army.

paragraph: Izyaslav of Polotsk

paragraph: Izyaslav (, ) was the son of Vladimir I of Kiev and Rogneda of Polotsk.

paragraph: Following Norse tradition, Izyaslav was sent with his mother to rule her homeland. There is also a legend that Rogneda tried to get Izyaslav to slay his father.

paragraph: Despite possibly going against the will of his father, Izyaslav was able to continue his rule in Polotsk. He was first to make Polotsk autonomous from the Grand Duke of Kiev passing his title to his descendants after his death. His principality carried a wide degree of autonomy that later was passed and to his descendants as well. His glory was commemorated after an established city that was named after him.

paragraph: Izyaslav died at the young age of about 23, in 1001, surviving his mother but predeceasing his father Vladimir of Kiev, thus excluding his descendants from ever succeeding the Kievan throne, according to the so-called "ladder succession".

paragraph: The name of Izyaslav's spouse is unknown. He had two sons: Bryachislav of Polotsk and Vseslav. Both were certainly minor at the time of his father's death. Vseslav died, still in childhood, in 1003, while Bryachislav survived to continue the Polotsk dynasty and to challenge the authority of his uncle Yaroslav the Wise.

paragraph: His direct progeny ruled Polotsk until 1222.

paragraph: Hans Pothorst

paragraph: Hans Pothorst ( 1440 – 1490) was a privateer, likely from the German city Hildesheim. He is mostly notable because some have proposed that he may have discovered America along with Didrik Pining (among others) in the 1470s, almost twenty years before Columbus.

paragraph: Section::::Biography.

paragraph: In what little is known about Pothorst, he is often linked with Didrik Pining. Like Pining, Pothorst was likely from Hildesheim. Pothorst's service on the Hamburg warship "Bastian", seems to have been officially terminated on 1 July 1473. Sometime in the 1470s, Pining, Pothorst and Corte-Real were sent by King Christian I of Denmark on a naval expedition to the North-Atlantic. During the later years of the reign of Christian I, Pothorst and Pining are said to have distinguished themselves "not less as capable seamen than as matchless freebooters."

paragraph: Pothorst's home in Denmark is presumed to have been Helsingør, where his coat of arms and a simple portrait were painted (possibly shortly after his death) among eight ceiling frescoes in the local St. Mary's Church. The ceiling ensemble remains one of the most celebrated 15th century Danish artworks, and if Pothorst funded its creation as it has been assumed, historians note that he must have been rather wealthy.

paragraph: Later, he is mentioned as a privateer, and in the Skibby Chronicle Pothorst and Pining are mentioned among many pirates who "met with a miserable death, being either slain by their friends or hanged on the gallows or drowned in the waves of the sea."

paragraph: Marco Polo (producer)

paragraph: Marco Bruno, better known as Marco Polo, is a Canadian hip hop producer. Born in Toronto on December 26, 1979, he moved to New York City in the early 2000s to pursue a career in hip hop production, and has since become one of the most sought-after underground producers on the US East Coast. He has Italian origins; In fact, his parents emigrated respectively from Naples and from Calabria.

paragraph: Section::::Life and career.

paragraph: When he came to New York City, Bruno worked as a sound engineer in several recording studios. As a result, he met up with legendary Brooklyn MC Masta Ace, who was looking for beats for his 2004 LP "A Long Hot Summer" at the time. Although Ace could not pay him at first, he used one of the beats Bruno gave him for the song "Do It Man" (featuring Big Noyd). Production for Sadat X's "Black October" album and various Boot Camp Clik projects followed a few years later. His debut album, "Port Authority", was released through Rawkus Records and featured guest raps from Masta Ace, Kool G Rap, Buckshot, Wordsworth, O.C., Kardinal Offishall, Large Professor and Sadat X. On June 2, 2009, a collaboration album with Torae was released, entitled "Double Barrel".

paragraph: On June 29, 2010, Marco Polo released "The Stupendous Adventures of Marco Polo" on Duck Down Records. The album featured guest raps from an assortment of acts including the Large Professor, Torae, Royce Da 5'9" and others.

paragraph: In October 2012, he released the "For My People EP" with Italian rappers Bassi Maestro and Ghemon.

paragraph: Section::::Style and influences.

paragraph: Marco Polo's production revolves around his use of samples, and his style is somewhat comparable to that of Pete Rock and DJ Premier, the latter of which he names as his greatest influence. To give a more authentic effect to his production, he will individually sample drum sounds (such as a hi-hat) and arrange them to create his own "breaks". He often uses bass to enhance melodies he has sampled. He has been known to use outro beats to segue into the next song.

paragraph: Hans Weiditz

paragraph: Hans Weiditz the Younger, Hans Weiditz der Jüngere, Hans Weiditz II (1495 Freiburg im Breisgau - c1537 Bern), was a German Renaissance artist, also known as The Petrarch Master for his woodcuts illustrating Petrarch's "De remediis utriusque fortunae", or "Remedies for Both Good and Bad Fortune", or "Phisicke Against Fortune". He is best known today for his very lively scenes and caricatures of working life and people, many created to illustrate the abstract philosophical maxims of Cicero and Petrarch.

paragraph: Like most artists in woodcut he only designed the woodcuts, leaving the block-cutting to a specialist ""Formschneider"" (sometimes Jost de Negker in his Augsburg period) who pasted the design to the wood and chiselled the white areas away. The quality of the final woodcuts, which varies considerably, depended on the skill of the cutter as well as the artist. Weiditz was unfortunate in that his publishers went bankrupt part way through the production of his two longest series of woodcuts, and the cutting was later completed by cutters of lower skill.

paragraph: Section::::Life.

paragraph: His father, Hans Wydyz or Weiditz the Elder, Hans Weiditz dem Älteren, Hans Weiditz I (ca 1475 Straßburg - ca 1516 Straßburg), worked in Freiburg im Breisgau between 1497 and 1514, and was described as a 'bildhower' or sculptor in the Painters' Guild records. In 1505 he worked on the "Dreikönigsaltar" in Freiburg Cathedral. Parish records show a 1510 payment to him for carved wooden rosettes on the keystones in the chancel, working with Hans Baldung, the gifted student of Albrecht Dürer. He is not to be confused with the slightly older Strasbourg woodcut artist Hans Wechtlin.

paragraph: Weiditz the Younger, a brother of Christoph Weiditz (1500-1559), was a prominent member of an elite group of woodcut artists including such figures as Albrecht Dürer, Hans Holbein, and Hans Burgkmair, his teacher. He was active in Augsburg between 1512 and 1522, and from 1522 to 1536 in Straßburg, producing woodcuts for book illustrations in the style of Burgkmair. He also produced notable work for an edition of Cicero's popular "De Officiis" in 1531, for Apuleius' "The Golden Ass" (1538), and the "Comedies" of Plautus.

paragraph: He produced the German chiaroscuro woodcut with the most different colour blocks, a seven-block coat of arms of a cardinal, for a book frontispiece of 1520, probably cut by Jost de Negker.

paragraph: Section::::Illustrations for the "Herbarum vivae eicones".

paragraph: The "Herbarum vivae eicones" (Living plant images), published in Strasbourg in three parts between 1530 and 1536, was a landmark publication in the development of botanical illustration. The text was compiled by Otto Brunfels from earlier writings, but the illustrations by Weiditz represented a novel approach and set a high standard of realism in the portrayal of plants. Weiditz took his plants from nature, often showing the changing appearance with the seasons. His technique was admired and inevitably copied, leading to a copyright infringement lawsuit against the publisher Christian Egenolff.

paragraph: Mark Cubbon

paragraph: Lieutenant-General Sir Mark Cubbon KCB (23 August 1775 – 23 April 1861) was a British army officer with the East India Company who became the British Commissioner of Mysore state in 1834. During his tenure, he established a law and order system, introduced judicial and economic reforms and through action in all spheres of governance helped develop the economy of Mysore. He resigned from his office in 1860 due to ill-health and left for England for the first time since his arrival in India as a cadet in 1800. The administration of the Kingdom of Mysore under his leadership ensured that the 1857 rebellion had almost no repercussions in the region. He died in 1861 on board ship at Suez. Cubbon Road and Cubbon Park in Bangalore are named after him.

paragraph: Section::::Early life.

paragraph: Cubbon was born at the vicarage of Maughold, Isle of Man on 23 August 1775. His father was Vicar Thomas Cubbon and his mother Margaret Wilks was the sister of Colonel Mark Wilks. The seventh of ten children, he grew up enjoying scrambling up the local hills and studied at the local Parish school before studying under the tutorship of Maddrell of Ramsey. His uncle Mark Wilks arranged for Cubbon to enroll as a cadet in India in the spring of 1802.

paragraph: Section::::Early career in India.

paragraph: Cubbon arrived in India earlier than required in the summer of 1801 at Calcutta. He gained an appointment to the 2nd Madras Battalion in 1802, and moved to the 2nd Battalion 5th Native Infantry in July 1804, serving in Travancore under Col. John Chalmers. Cubbon had great admiration for the Sepoys and respected their religious views. In 1809 he received a civil appointment but the new governor of Madras, George Barlow, had passed a pledge that was unpopular among the Europeans in the Madras Army. Cubbon refused to sign the declaration and he lost his appointment during this so-called white mutiny in Madras. He was reappointed in 1810 in the Commissariat Department initially under Col. Close in central India during the Pindari War and then under Colonel Philip Meadows Taylor in Kurnool. A year later, he was then made an Assistant Commissary-General, a position well above the ranks within the army. He became a Major on 23 November 1823 and was a Lieutenant-Colonel on 22 April 1826. In 1827 he moved south to serve under the Travancore Resident as Commissary-General, succeeding William Morrison.

paragraph: Section::::Mysore.

paragraph: After the death of Tipu Sultan in 1799, the British had restored the former Hindu royal family of Mysore under a child prince with Purnaiah, the minister during Tipu's rule, to effectively administer until the prince grew up. The revenue collection under this system was however considered unfair and corruption was widespread. This led to an uprising, the Nagar revolt in 1831, and the Rajah was unable to control it. This uprising was suppressed with the aid of the British and a commission was instituted to examine the causes. The commission which included Major-General Hawker, W. Morison, John Macleod, and Cubbon made a report which showed extreme misgovernance. A decision was taken by the Governor-General of India, William Bentinck for direct administration of the Kingdom with two Commissioners. The two however quarreled and this led to the appointment of a sole Commissioner, William Morrison, in May 1834 but on his transfer Cubbon was then made Commissioner in June 1834.

paragraph: Section::::Mysore.:Administration and reforms.

paragraph: At the close of the 1831 uprising in Mysore, and the British takeover on 19 October 1831, the first priority for Cubbon was law and order. Prior to his actions, murders to settle disputes were extremely common in the towns and villages and Cubbon was disturbed by its apparent acceptance in society. Cubbon improved the system of Silladars or native horsemen who would provide services to the government for a fixed monthly charge. He raised their pay to ensure that they could not be corrupted and created a force of about 4000 horses with seven regiments, with a detachment for every taluk. There was no police force until July 1834, when a code or police hukumnama was formulated. This separated the local police from the military force. There was an armed and unarmed section with the armed part having the duty of dealing with prisoners, any field service needing them, killing tigers (with a reward of Rs 10 for adults and Rs 5 for cubs) and to accompany state guests or travellers. They would also prevent thefts, watch key positions and towns and prevent sandal trees from being cut. The unarmed peons or "khalihaths" (literally "empty hands") were to help in the repair of roads, irrigation tanks and follow other orders. He set up a reporting structure which was almost entirely made up of Indians.

paragraph: There was no code of law in 1834 and Cubbon drew upon and expanded a system described by his uncle Wilks in 1804. Cubbon created a judicial system that became quite popular but it was causing considerable demands on the system and in 1841 they made vexatious suitors liable to fines. Cubbon made himself the superior authority for handling serious crimes. In some cases he intervened and there were some cases where he conflicted with the decisions taken by the courts. The use of a uniform code of law across all classes was novel in the Kingdom of Mysore. Cubbon also reduced the powers of the poligars or local chieftains. They were paid a pension that was calculated on the basis of what it would take to maintain them in prison. There was considerable friction between communities belonging to different religions and castes. Cubbon resorted to the use of a majority vote to resolve several disputes relating to religious gurus.

paragraph: Cubbon also made administration very strict and based on codes. Revenue officers taking bribes and a court officer holding extreme Wahabi tenets were dismissed. He set up nine departments or kacheris:

paragraph: BULLET::::- revenue (dewan)

paragraph: BULLET::::- posts (anche)

paragraph: BULLET::::- police (kandachar)

paragraph: BULLET::::- public works (maramat)

paragraph: BULLET::::- military (sowar and barr)

paragraph: BULLET::::- medical

paragraph: BULLET::::- public cattle (Amrit Mahal)

paragraph: BULLET::::- judiciary

paragraph: BULLET::::- public instruction

paragraph: Prior to Cubbon, government documents were written in Urdu, Hindi, Persian, Kannada or Marathi and this led to difficulties and corruption. Cubbon restricted the languages to be used to Kannada and Marathi.

paragraph: As part of financial reforms record keeping of all revenues collected was made stringent and all spending was controlled. Cubbon maintained public accounts using the Kantarayi pagoda (=Kantirava Fanam) as the currency. This system was followed until 1854 and replaced by the East India Company currency in 1855.

paragraph: Cubbon supported educational institutions run mainly by missionaries and also worked on healthcare, establishing hospitals and homes for lepers. He also issued rules against various forms of slavery that were traditionally followed in parts of Mysore. All forms of punishment, forced labour and torture in civil life were made illegal. The prison system was improved and convict labour was utilized in public works.

paragraph: During the 1857 rebellion, Mysore was relatively peaceful owing to governance of Cubbon. A small band of Mohammedans in Srirangapatna were however planning rebellion and Cubbon had the uprising quashed secretly with the help of a small band of Coorg warriors. In reward for their actions, an exception in the Disarmament Act was made for Coorg.

paragraph: Agriculture had been particularly hit by anarchy, with money lenders and revenue officials causing great trouble to farmers. Cubbon worked on the improvement of irrigation. These included the Marikanive project in Hiriyur, work on the Nugu, Shimsha (Maddur), Hemavathi (near Sakleshpur), Tunga & Bhadra (near Shimoga) and Kaveri river project near Siddapur. He founded the agri-horticultural society in 1839 and had the Lalbagh gardens transferred to it. In 1836 he wrote that "great public benefit may be expected to arise from this institution, not only in regard to objects merely horticultural and the extension of botanical knowledge, but in the promotion of the agricultural interest of the country, by introductions suited to the climate, amongst which may be enumerated varieties of sugar-cane, cotton, and tobacco far superior to any produced in Mysore, and by affording the people the means of obtaining gratuitous instruction in improved modes of cultivation." Cubbon introduced new crops, varieties of crops, new breeds of livestock (apart from maintaining traditional breeds like the Amrit Mahal that had helped Hyder Ali and Tipu Sultan win battles) and also took an interest in forestry. In 1846 sisoo plantations were tried and in 1855-56 teak was planted in Lakwalli on the banks of the Tunga and Bhadra. He issued an order to ensure that valuable woods could not be cut without government permission. He also issued orders against kumri or slash-and-burn agriculture.

paragraph: He also worked towards improving the road system with four classes of roads and oversaw the building of bridges at key points such as at Fraserpert, Maddur, Hoskote, Shimoga and Hiriyur. The road system also required key passes through the Western Ghats and for this he opened up passes at Agumbe, Boond, Sampaje and Periambadi.

paragraph: Cubbon maintained traditional religious institutions and granted concessions to maths, temples, old age homes and other institutions that were supported by the maharaja.

paragraph: Cubbon made full use of natives in administration and reduced the need for European appointments. From 1834 there was a single commissioner for Mysore ; in 1836 he was given charge of Coorg and from 1843 was also to act as Resident for Mysore without any increase in his own salary. Cubbon's administration is estimated to have costed only about £13000 a year and required only four Europeans. Edward Washburn Hopkins wrote in 1901 that one of the solutions to India's famines was to "cubbonize" its administration (i.e. to use native government).

paragraph: He received the K.C.B. in 1856.

paragraph: In 1859, when orders were issued to transfer the superintendence of Mysore affairs from the Governor-General to the government of Madras, Cubbon submitted his resignation, as he held it to be impolitic and contrary to the declaration made by the Honourable Court of Directors in 1838. The order was withdrawn by the Viceroy, Lord Canning. At the beginning of the next year, however, Cubbon felt compelled to resign owing to ill-health.

paragraph: Section::::Mysore.:Contribution to Kannada.

paragraph: Mark Cubbon took special interest and financially supported the publication of the first Canarese (Kannada) translation of the Bhagavad Gita, "The Bhagavat-Geeta, Or, Dialogues of Krishna and Arjoon in Eighteen Lectures", with Sanskrit, Canarese and English in parallel columns, edited by Rev. John Garrett, published by the Weleyan Mission Press, Bangalore in 1849.

paragraph: Mark Cubbon also financially supported the printing and publication of the first Canarese - English dictionary, which was compiled by William Reeve, edited by Daniel Sanderson and published in 1858, by the Wesleyan Mission Press.

paragraph: Section::::Personality.

paragraph: Cubbon grew up in India with a deep understanding for native sentiment and empathy for the people and their traditions. He was considered very fair and was tactful, making use of a native style of argumentation when required. In his dealings with the Mysore king, he outright avoided the use of espionage to obtain information, a method used by many others in the past. He was required in his work to host public dinners but did not relish parties and especially disliked dance balls. Fond of horses, he maintained as many as sixty in his stables. He did not visit church and made jokes on the inconsistencies of religious professors but he enforced the closure of all offices on Sundays. Cubbon was unmarried.

paragraph: Cubbon built a summer home on the summit of Nandidroog in 1834. Lady Canning left a memoir of a visit:

paragraph: Section::::Death and after.

paragraph: Cubbon died at Suez on 23 April 1861 while returning to England in the company of his physician, Dr. Campbell. He died of liver ailment or possibly an abscess in the lungs, his last words being recorded as "And through no merit of my own." From Southampton, Campbell was joined by Haines and Colonel Macqueen who took the body to Liverpool and then to Douglas. All flags were flown at half mast and on the 17th of May his body was interred in the Maughold Churchyard amid a large gathering. The Archdeacon announced, "In that vault lies the greatest man this island has produced for centuries back." When news of his death reached Mysore, all public offices were closed for three days.

paragraph: An equestrian statue by Baron Marochetti was unveiled on 16 March 1866 in a large gathering and addressed by led by Lewin Bentham Bowring, Cubbon's successor as Commissioner of Mysore. The statue was initially placed in the parade ground at Bangalore but moved later in front of the main government buildings (the Attara Kacheri now housing the Karnataka High Court). When the statue was unveiled the forehead was marked with the three lines of ash, symbols of Brahminism, a prank by some young soldiers that was referred to in "The Painting of the Statue" in the "Lays of Ind" by W.S. Yeldham writing under the pen name of "Aliph Cheem".

paragraph: Cubbon Road, Cubbonpet and Cubbon Park in Bangalore are named after him. A medallion portrait of Cubbon is found on the ceiling at the west end of the Central Hall in the Karnataka High Court building.

paragraph: Largely ignored since Indian Independence in 1947, the statue of Mark Cubbon was garlanded for the first time at a celebration of Cubbon's 238th birth anniversary on 23 August 2013. The function required special permission from the Karnataka High Court, and police protection was provided. This celebration was however opposed by Vatal Nagaraj who considered it a shame that British statues were still standing in public spaces suggesting that they be moved into museums.
