paragraph: Carmen Amaya

paragraph: Carmen Amaya (2 November 1918 – 19 November 1963) was a Spanish Romani flamenco dancer and singer, born in the Somorrostro district of Barcelona, Catalonia, Spain.

paragraph: She has been called "the greatest Spanish Romani dancer of her generation" and "the most extraordinary personality of all time in flamenco dance." She was the first female flamenco dancer to master footwork previously reserved for the best male dancers, due to its speed and intensity. She sometimes danced in high-waisted trousers as a symbol of her strong character.

paragraph: Section::::Biography.

paragraph: She was born to a Romani family, to José Amaya Amaya "El Chino," a guitar player, and Micaela Amaya Moreno. Carmen was the second of eleven children, although only six (three sisters and two brothers) survived to adulthood.

paragraph: Amaya started in the flamenco world accompanied by her father, a poor guitarist who made a living by playing in pubs day and night. When Carmen was only 4 years old, she started going out with her father at night. He accompanied her on the guitar while she performed. Afterwards, they begged and picked the small change that the public would throw on the floor. Soon earned her first nickname, "La Capitana."

paragraph: At the same time, she started to appear in some lesser known theatres but thanks to Josep Santpere, a bright variety shows businessman, who was the first one who showed interest in Carmen and introduced her to a more prestigious category, she made her debut at the Spanish Theatre in Barcelona at the age of six. Soon after, she was performing at the Palace Theatre in Paris.

paragraph: Inconveniently, because of her age, she wasn't eligible to work legally, and therefore it is likely that the artist's date of birth is not entirely accurate, according to recent findings. One investigation suggests 1918 as her birth year, because documents exist which show a twelve-year-old girl with that name living in Barcelona in 1930. Her ethnicity could also be a factor in her birth date's ambiguity, according to Montse Madridejos, professor of Music History at the University of Barcelona and a flamenco history researcher, who has a special interest in Carmen Amaya: “At this time, a gypsy was neither baptized, nor registered”.

paragraph: The first time her name appeared in print was during the International Fair of Barcelona in 1929 thanks to Sebastià Gasch, an art critic who saw her and wrote an article in the weekly newspaper . Sebastian Gash wrote:

paragraph: "Suddenly a jump! And the gypsy girl danced. Indescribable. Soul. Pure Soul. Feeling made flesh. The floorboards vibrated with unprecedented brutality and incredible precision. La Capitana was a gross product of Nature. Like all gypsies, She must have been born dancing. It was before school, before the academy. All that she knows, She must have known from birth. Promptly, the viewer feels subjugated, upset, dominated by the face of La Capitana, by her fierce hip movements, by the bravery of her pirouettes and the force of her broken turns, whose animal ardor ran parallel with the astonishing accuracy with which she executed them. The raging battery of her heels and the unsteady play of her arms now aroused, excited, then collapsing, surrendered, abandoned, dead, gently moved by the shoulders, are still recorded in our memories like indelible plaques. what caused us to look at her dance was her nerve, which twisted her in dramatic contortions, her blood, her violence, her wild impetuosity as a caste dancer."

paragraph: At this point Vicente Escudero, an important businessman, saw her dancing and promised that Carmen would create a flamenco revolution because of her perfect synthesis of two important styles: the style of the old dancer, and the quivering style of the dancer in their varieties.

paragraph: In 1930, she was part of the Manuel Vallejo company, performing all over Spain. On her return to Barcelona she danced at the Teatro Español, recommended by José Cepero.

paragraph: In 1929, she appeared in the tablao Villa Rosa poster in Madrid and in 1930, she performed in the International Exhibition.

paragraph: That year she worked in the Zarzuela Theatre, also known as the Coliseum, in Madrid with Conchita Piquer, Miguel de Molina, and other famous artists, and at the Fontalba Theatre. That was the authentic success of Carmen nationwide. She played a small roll in "La hija de Juan Simón" and "Maria de la O", and she also worked for a musical magazine in Barcelona. From her first performance” in 1935 to her last performance in “Los Tarantos” her dancing showcases the value of the purest form of the flamenco. Her films are momentous in the sense that there have been very few cases in which films have been created around one figure and there is where all the dancers who define their dance as being “of temperament” can find a model. Very seldom in the history of New York have dance and flamenco reached such success as they reached under Carmen Amaya's influence.

paragraph: Juan Carceller hired her for a tour. She traveled to several capitals, including San Sebastián. In 1935, Luisita Esteo presented her in Madrid, in a show at the Coliseum. On The 18th of July in 1936, when the coup in Spain took place, Carmen and her team were in the Zorrilla Theatre in Valladolid, working for Carcellé's company. At that time, they were financially secure and she had bought her first car. They were due to go to Lisbon to sign the lease, but the car was requisitioned and they could not travel to Portugal until November.

paragraph: In 1952 she married guitarist Juan Antonio Agüero, a member of her troupe. A man belonging to a distinguished family from Santander, who was not a gypsy. They lived an authentic love story and celebrated an intimate wedding. In 1959, Carmen experienced one of the most exciting moments of her life, when the inauguration ceremony of the fountain whose name was put on was held. The fountain was placed on the Paseo Marítimo de Barcelona, which crosses the neighborhood of Somorrostro, the same places where she had walked by many years before, barefoot and dragging her misery as a child.

paragraph: Section::::Biography.:Beginning of international success: South America and Central America (1936-1940).

paragraph: In 1936, when the Spanish Civil War had just begun, Carmen Amaya and her troupe were on tour in Valladolid with Luisita Esteso's show. They crossed the border from Spain to Portugal and, after a short time arrived in Lisbon, they sailed for Buenos Aires on the ship Monte Pascoal, which took fifteen days to cross the Atlantic and put in at Brazil and Uruguay. She debuted in Buenos Aires, accompanied by Ramón Montoya and Sabicas at the Maravillas Theatre.

paragraph: During this stage of her life, she added to her artistic group several members of her family. She made films in Buenos Aires with Miguel de Molina and won the admiration of musicians Arturo Toscanini and Leopold Stokowski, who publicly praised her.

paragraph: The success of Carmen Amaya and her family exceeded all expectations. They planned to stay for only four weeks and, finally, they stayed there for nine months, since every time Carmen performed the theatre was filled and tickets were even sold two months in advance. A good example of the enormous popularity that the artist achieved in this South American country is the construction of the theatre that bears her name: el Teatro Amaya.

paragraph: In addition, it seems that during most of those years in America the bailaora maintained a personal relationship with Sabicas, who declared shortly before his death that he and Carmen had been dating for nine years, and that they had split up in Mexico.

paragraph: Section::::Biography.:Consolidation in the United States (1941-1947).

paragraph: In The US , Carmen Amaya met many of the most influential people of that time. She went several times to Hollywood to film some movies and the most important personalities of cinema, music or culture wanted to see her dance. The musician Toscanini saw one of her performances once and declared that he had never seen an artist with more rhythm and more fire than her. She improvised continuously, as quickly as perfectly.

paragraph: She traveled to New York in 1941 and performed at Carnegie Hall with Sabicas and Antonio de Triana. When in the United States, she also met Franklin Roosevelt, President of the United States. It was reported that after seeing her, the President of the United States, Franklin Roosevelt, gave her a bowling jacket with brilliants and invited her to dance at the White House. She returned to Europe and performed at the Théâtre des Champs-Élysées in Paris, to do so later in London, when she got to meet the Queen of England.

paragraph: Section::::Biography.:Return to Spain.

paragraph: When Carmen Amaya returned to Spain in 1947, she already was an indisputable universal figure. The years that she had been in America made her not only to professionally establish her art, but also to make her legend grow unstoppable. By then, her dance was the bravest flamenco that had ever come to the theatre. But she did not stand out only because of her art, but also because of her fascinating personality, which won everyone she knew, both because of her dancing and because of her unpredictable behaviour. Besides, she was extraordinarily generous.

paragraph: She was a great success at the London Princess Theatre in 1948, and also on her next American tour. She toured Argentina again in 1950.

paragraph: She returned to dance in Spain the following year, performing at the Tivoli theatro in Barcelona after several performances in Rome. She continued her work in Madrid, Paris, London, and different cities in Germany, Italy, and other European countries. The queen of England congratulated her when she performed there; Carmen Amaya and Elizabeth II appeared together in a newspaper photograph entitled: "Two queens face to face."

paragraph: In subsequent years she continued her work in northern Europe, France, Spain, the United States, Mexico, and South America.

paragraph: She triumphed at the Westminster Theatre in London and at La Zarzuela theatre in Madrid in 1959. At that time, Barcelona constructed a tribute to Carmen Amaya by building the Carmen Fountain in her old district, Somorrostro, to popular acclaim.

paragraph: She recorded her last film, "Los Tarantos", by Rovira-Beleta in 1963, and she continued working. At the end, her illness prevented her from continuing in Gandía. The last time she danced was in Malaga.

paragraph: Her illness was exacerbated by the filming of latest film, Los Tarantos, directed by Rovira-Beleta (1963). In spite of these inconveniences, Carmen strongly overcame, and, at the end of filming, she started a summer tour. The last time she performed in Madrid, Carmen Amaya was already deathly ill. Finally, her illness stopped her from performing, a kind of renal impairment that impeded her properly eliminating the toxins that her body accumulated. The doctors could not find any solution to her problem. She danced for the last time in Malaga. On August 8, 1963, whilst she was working in Gandía, Carmen finished her performance. She was dancing when suddenly she said to Batista: "Andrés, we finished."

paragraph: Section::::Biography.:Death.

paragraph: During the last ten years of her life, she lived surrounded by people and almost sanctified, not only for her audience, but for those who worked with her. Her nature was instinctive, animalistic, and had little to do with academic learning.

paragraph: Carmen Amaya died in Begur, Girona, northeast Catalonia, in 1963 and is buried in the Cemetery of Ciriego at Santander.

paragraph: She died due to kidney disease. Her death was a great loss to all the Flamenco world.

paragraph: She was awarded the Medal of Merit of Tourism in Barcelona, the Lasso of the Lady of the Order of Isabel la Católica award, and given the title of Adoptive Daughter of Begur.

paragraph: Three years after her death (1966) she was honored by a monument constructed in the Amusement Park of Montjuic. Buenos Aires has a street dedicated to her. In Madrid in the "Tablao" Los Califas, she was honored by a tribute performance in which many artists participated, including Lucero Tena, Mariquilla, and Felix de Utrera.

paragraph: Section::::Biography.:Medals and recognition awards.

paragraph: Her death was a great loss for the entire Flamenco world, as she was awarded with the Medalla del Mérito Turístico de Barcelona, Lazo de Isabel la Católica and the title of Hija Adoptiva de Bagur. Her funeral summoned a large number of Roma People from different parts of Spain and even France.

paragraph: Buried in Bagur, where she spent her last days, her remains rest in the pantheon of her husband's family, in Santander. Three years after her death in 1966, her monument was inaugurated in the Parque de Montjuic in Barcelona, and in Buenos Aires, while in Madrid, in Tablao Los Califas, a tribute, led by Lucero Tena, among other artists, took place. She was also honored in Llafranch (Girona) in 1970.

paragraph: The personality of Carmen Amaya, has been glossed by critics, flamencologists and writers, as well as by poets, including Fernando Quiñones, author of the poem Soneto y letras en vivo para Car men Amaya. A selected transcription of these comments by Vicente Marrero, reads:

paragraph: "Carmen Amaya can see the amazing conviction that sometimes tends to dance. "Gitanilla" ungainly, skinny, petite, almost disembodied. Brunette, with a tragic and remote idol face, Asian cheekbones, with long eyes full of omens, twisted arms. With her "repajolera" gypsy [Romani] grace, she is not just another millionaire in North America, but one of our great dancers, who has succeeded, with the secret of dance and her dance she was born to dance, and she danced phenomenally. Carmen Amaya, is her name, is not a different woman in each of her dances, as so often happens with other great dance figures."

paragraph: Carmen's flamenco legacy is still valid to this day. Dancing with force, meter, intensity and power. A way of expression which brought an end to the sweetness of flamenco which had endured until that point. The known producer Sol Hurok described Carmen as “The Human Vesuvius.” Carmen Amaya has been the incarnation of the flamenco dance par excellent. Her dancing is reflected in a large number of films.

In 1998, a sports writer for the "Detroit Free Press" rated Leach as the fourth best quarterback to come out of a Michigan high school.

paragraph: Section::::University of Michigan.

paragraph: Leach enrolled at the University of Michigan in 1975. A left-hander, he was the Michigan Wolverines' starting quarterback from 1975 to 1978 under coach Bo Schembechler.

paragraph: BULLET::::- He was selected as the co-Most Valuable Player (along with Charles White) of the 1979 Rose Bowl, his last game as a Wolverine.

paragraph: Leach was the first NCAA Division I FBS player to pass for 200 points and score 200 points. He continues to hold the NCAA record for highest percentage of passes for touchdowns (400-499 attempts) with 45 in 462. One of the finest athletes in Michigan history, Leach was named All-Big Ten as a quarterback three times and also placed in the voting for the Heisman Trophy three times.

paragraph: Leach shattered all Michigan's career passing, total offense and touchdown records. He set an NCAA record for most touchdowns accounted for (82) and broke Big Ten records for total offense (6,460 yards), total plays (1,034), and touchdown passes (48).

paragraph: A standout on the diamond as well as the gridiron, Leach won the Big Ten batting championship as a junior and won the rare honor of being named All-American in both football and baseball.

paragraph: In 1999, Sports Illustrated published a list of "The 50 Greatest Sports Figures From Michigan" (in all sports), and ranked Leach 22nd. "The 50 Greatest Sports Figures From Michigan," Sports Illustrated, December 27, 1999.

paragraph: Footage of Palmer was used in the CBS film "9/11", and later in the HBO film "In Memoriam: New York City, 9/11/01". The video footage was shot by French documentary filmmaker Jules Naudet at the North Tower. It shows Palmer conferring with Deputy Chief Peter Hayden and Assistant Chief Donald Burns at the North Tower. The South Tower had just been hit. The men discuss how to respond to the two towers, and the communications problems they faced. The sound of a falling body hitting pavement outside reverberates. According to Michael Daly, "Palmer stood steady and calm, an air pack on his back, a red flashlight bound with black elastic to his white helmet, a radio in his left hand. His face showed only a readiness to do whatever was needed." The men decided that Burns and Palmer would proceed to the South Tower.

paragraph: Section::::September 11.:Ascent of South Tower.

paragraph: After the first plane struck the North Tower at 8:46 am, Chief Palmer helped organize operations there. Soon after the second plane hit the South Tower at 9:03 am., Palmer moved into that building with Chief Burns. Although most elevators had been rendered non-operational, Palmer found a working one and took it to the 41st floor, which was halfway to the impact zone, which spanned the 77th to the 85th floors . About 14 or 15 minutes before the South Tower collapsed, a group of people who had survived the plane's impact began their descent from the 78th floor. As they departed, Palmer sent word to Chief Edward Geraghty that a group of 10 people, some of whom exhibited injuries, were heading to an elevator on the 41st floor, the only one left working by the plane's impact. However, on its last trip down, the car became stuck in the shaft. Inside the elevator was a Ladder 15 firefighter who reported that he was trying to break open the walls. It is unclear whether the group of 10 had reached that elevator before it left the 41st floor, but those who listened to the tape said it was most unlikely that they had enough time to escape, by the elevator or by stairs.

paragraph: When an audiotape of communication with the firefighters was released, it revealed that firefighters did not anticipate the building's collapse. Palmer, issuing an order to one of his subordinates, was recorded seconds before the building collapsed. Peter Charles Hoffer described Palmer's professionalism during the final moments of his life: "Listening to Palmer and his comrades on the recovered tape, one can hear the urgency of men working at high efficiency, but there was never a hint that the clock was running out on them."

paragraph: Transcripts of Palmer's last broadcast were published in 2002. The actual recordings were made public in 2005, as the result of a lawsuit filed by "The New York Times" and families of some of the firefighters killed on September 11. Monica Gabrielle of the Skyscraper Safety Campaign commented on the release of the tapes: "Today we are one step closer to learning what happened on 9/11 in NYC — where we excelled, where we failed."

paragraph: According to "The Times" of London, "Chief Palmer made it to the impact zone on the 78th floor of the south tower before the building collapsed. Once there the battalion chief reported 'Numerous 10–45s, Code Ones' — fire department code for dead people."

paragraph: When new tapes were made public in 2006, Palmer's brother-in-law, FDNY Lt. Jim McCaffrey, stated, "It was emotional sitting with my wife and sister-in-law, listening to the tapes. You're hearing him right at that point prior to the collapse, about the things he saw on the 78th floor. Before that, we didn't even know he got higher than the 40th floor."

paragraph: Section::::September 11.:Role in analysis of 9/11.

paragraph: In 2004, "The 9/11 Commission Report" relied on analysis of the North Tower lobby conversations between Palmer, Peter Hayden and Donald Burns in the film shot by Jules and Gedeon Naudet to better understand what was and was not working on the fire department's communications in those critical minutes. The report stated that, "Of particular concern to the chiefs—in light of FDNY difficulties in responding to the 1993 bombing—was communications capability. One of the chiefs recommended testing the repeater channel to see if it would work." Peter Hayden, who survived, later testified, "People watching on TV certainly had more knowledge of what was happening a hundred floors above us than we did in the lobby... [W]ithout critical information coming in... it's very difficult to make informed, critical decisions".

paragraph: The 9/11 Commission carefully analyzed the FDNY radio communications that day, and reported that the battalion chief (Palmer) was able to maintain radio communication that "worked well" with the senior chief in the lobby of the South Tower during the first fifteen minutes of his ascent. A message from a World Trade Center security official (Rick Rescorla) that the impact was on the 78th floor was relayed to Palmer, and he decided to try to take his team to that level. Beginning at 9:21 AM, Palmer was no longer able to reach the lobby command post, but his transmissions were recorded and analyzed later. He reached the 78th floor sky lobby, and his team not far behind him were able to free a group of civilians trapped in an elevator at 9:58 AM. Palmer radioed that the area was open to the 79th floor, "well into the impact zone", and reported "numerous civilian fatalities in the area". One minute later, at 9:59 AM, the South Tower collapsed, killing everyone still inside, including Palmer and NYFD Marshal Ronald Bucca.

paragraph: Michael Daly concluded that Palmer, "an uncommonly brave fire chief who was one of the department's most knowledgeable minds in communications perished never knowing of warnings telephoned by at least two callers less than 30 stories above him."

paragraph: Although they lost their lives themselves, Palmer and his crew had played an "indispensable role in ensuring calm in the stairwells, assisting the injured and guiding the evacuees on the lower floors."

paragraph: Section::::Legacy.

paragraph: After his death, the FDNY's physical fitness award was renamed the Orio Palmer Memorial Fitness Award in his memory after September 11, 2001.

paragraph: In 2002, a portion of East 234th Street between Vireo and Webster Avenues in the Bronx was renamed "Deputy Chief Orio J. Palmer Way."

paragraph: At the National 9/11 Memorial, Palmer is memorialized at the South Pool, on Panel S-17.

paragraph: In an early-morning ceremony on May 10, 2014, the long-unidentified remains of 1,115 victims were transferred from the city medical examiner's to Ground Zero, where they would be placed in a space in the bedrock 70 feet below ground, as part of the 9/11 Museum. Reaction to the move was split among the families of the 9/11 victims, with some hailing the decision, and others protesting the location as inappropriate. Among the latter was Orio Palmer's brother-in-law, FDNY Lt. James McCaffrey, who demanded a ground-level tomb as a more dignified location. Said McCaffrey, "The decision to put the human remains of the 9/11 dead in this basement is inherently disrespectful and totally offensive." McCaffrey stated that the remains deserves a place of prominence equal to that of the Memorial's trees and pools, and opined that the ceremony was held early in the morning due to opposition to the decision.

paragraph: McCoy Tyner

paragraph: Alfred McCoy Tyner (born December 11, 1938) is a jazz pianist from Philadelphia known for his work with the John Coltrane Quartet and a long solo career.

paragraph: Section::::Biography.

paragraph: Section::::Biography.:Early life.

paragraph: Tyner was born in Philadelphia as the oldest of three children. He was encouraged to study piano by his mother. He began studying the piano at age 13 and within two years music had become the focal point in his life. When he was 17, he converted to Islam through the Ahmadiyya Muslim Community and changed his name to Sulieman Saud. His neighbors in Philadelphia included musicians Richie Powell and Bud Powell.

paragraph: Section::::Biography.:Career.

paragraph: Tyner started his career in 1960 as a member of the Jazztet led by Benny Golson and Art Farmer. Six months later, he joined the quartet of John Coltrane that included Jimmy Garrison and Elvin Jones. He worked with the band during its extended run at the Jazz Gallery, replacing Steve Kuhn (Coltrane had known Tyner for a while in Philadelphia, and performed one of the pianist's compositions, "The Believer", as early as 1958). He played on Coltrane's "My Favorite Things" for Atlantic. The band toured almost non-stop between 1961 and 1965, recording the albums "Live! at the Village Vanguard", "Ballads", "Live at Birdland", "Crescent", "A Love Supreme", and "The John Coltrane Quartet Plays" for Impulse!.

paragraph: While in Coltrane's group, he recorded albums as a leader in a piano trio. He also appeared as a sideman on many Blue Note albums of the 1960s, although he was often credited as "etc." on the cover of these albums to respect his contract with Impulse! Records.

paragraph: Section::::Biography.:Post-Coltrane.

paragraph: His involvement with Coltrane came to an end in 1965. Coltrane's music was becoming much more atonal and free; he had also augmented his quartet with percussion players who threatened to drown out both Tyner and Jones: "I didn't see myself making any contribution to that music... All I could hear was a lot of noise. I didn't have any feeling for the music, and when I don't have feelings, I don't play". In 1966, Tyner rehearsed with a new trio and embarked on a career as a bandleader.

paragraph: After leaving Coltrane's group, Tyner produced a series of post-bop albums released by Blue Note from 1967 to 1970. These included "The Real McCoy" (1967), "Tender Moments" (1967), "Time for Tyner" (1968), "Expansions" (1968) and "Extensions" (1970). He signed with Milestone and recorded "Sahara" (1972), "Enlightenment" (1973), and "Fly with the Wind" (1976), which included flautist Hubert Laws, drummer Billy Cobham, and a string orchestra.

paragraph: His music for Blue Note and Milestone often took the music of the Coltrane quartet as a starting point. Tyner also incorporated African and East Asian elements in his music. On "Sahara" he played koto in addition to piano, flute, and percussion. These albums have been cited as examples of innovative jazz from the 1970s that was neither fusion nor free jazz. "Trident" (1975) is notable for Tyner's use of harpsichord and celeste, instruments heard rarely in jazz.

paragraph: During the 1980s and 1990s Tyner worked in a trio that included Avery Sharpe on bass and Louis Hayes, then Aaron Scott, on drums. He made solo albums for Blue Note, starting with "Revelations" (1988) and culminating in "Soliloquy" (1991). After signing with Telarc, he recorded with several trios that included Charnett Moffett on bass and Al Foster on drums. In 2008, he toured with a quartet of Gary Bartz, Gerald L. Cannon, and Eric Kamau Gravatt.

paragraph: On June 25, 2019, "The New York Times Magazine" listed McCoy Tyner among hundreds of artists whose material was reportedly destroyed in the 2008 Universal fire.

paragraph: Section::::Style.

paragraph: Tyner is considered to be one of the most influential jazz pianists of the 20th century, an honor he earned during and after his time with Coltrane. Although he was a member of Coltrane's group, he was never overshadowed by Coltrane. He complemented and inspired Coltrane's open approach. His style of piano is comparable to Coltrane's maximalist style on saxophone.

paragraph: Tyner and Coltrane used similar scales, chordal structures, melodic phrasings, and rhythms.

paragraph: Tyner, who is left-handed, plays with a low bass left hand in which he raises his arm high above the keyboard for an emphatic attack. His right-hand soloing is detached and staccato. His melodic vocabulary is rich, ranging from raw blues to complexly superimposed pentatonic scales; his approach to chord voicing (most characteristically by fourths) has influenced contemporary jazz pianists, such as Chick Corea.

paragraph: Section::::Relatives.

paragraph: Tyner is the older brother of Jarvis Tyner, executive vice chairman of the Communist Party USA.

paragraph: Section::::Awards and honors.

paragraph: On July 16, 2005, Tyner was awarded an Honorary Doctorate of Music from Berklee College of Music at the Sala dei Notari during the Umbria Jazz Festival.

paragraph: McCoy was a judge for the 6th, 10th and 11th annual Independent Music Awards to support independent artists' careers.

paragraph: Yasutaka Nakata

paragraph: He is known for being the music producer of Japanese girl group Perfume and Japanese model-turned-singer Kyary Pamyu Pamyu since 2003 and 2011, respectively. These artists have gained commercial success for their songs that Nakata wrote and produced, such as "Chocolate Disco," "Polyrhythm," "Fashion Monster," and "Ninja Re Bang Bang." Nakata has worked with several other Japanese pop singers, including Meg, Ami Suzuki and SMAP, and has also remixed songs by other artists, including M-Flo and Leah Dizon. He ran his own label, Contemode, in association with Yamaha. After Towa Tei, he was the second Japanese artist to officially remix Kylie Minogue, contributing a version of her single "Get Outta My Way". He also formed Coltemonikha with singer, model and fashion designer Kate Sakai. On July 2012, he won the "Creator" award for the "Change Maker of the Year 2012" event. The Japan Record Awards also awarded Nakata the Best Music Arrangement Award twice, the first for the songs "Tsukema Tsukeru" by Kyary Pamyu Pamyu and "Spice" by Perfume in 2012, and the second one for Kyary's songs "Harajuku Iyahoi" and "Easta" in 2017. Nakata is set to release his first solo album, "Digital Native," on February 7, 2018.

paragraph: As of August 22, 2018, Nakata has yielded a total of nine number-one albums, mostly under his production with Perfume (six albums and a compilation) and Kyary Pamyu Pamyu (two albums).

paragraph: Ibrahim Dalliu

paragraph: Hafiz Ibrahim Dalliu (1878–25 May 1952) was an Albanian alim, writer, publisher, educator, and activist of the Albanian national cause. He is remembered as one of the best exegetes in Albania.

paragraph: Section::::Life.

paragraph: Dalliu was born in Tirana in 1878, in a middle class Moslem family, son of Mustafa Dalliu. He had two brothers, Hysni and Ali, both bearing titles "hafiz" and "hadji". Ibrahim was an early childhood friend of Seremedin and Murat Toptani, with whom he kept close ties for the rest of hist life. He studied theology in Istanbul. There he came in contact with the activists of the Central Committee for Defending Albanian Rights. He returned to Tirana where he started working as a teacher in 1901. At the same time he was a member of the local branch of the "Bashkimi" (Unity) Club, one of the many of that time throughout all Albanian populated areas. He participated in the Congress of Elbasan, during 2–9 September 1909, as part of the Tirana delegation. One of the Congress's main achievement was the establishment of the Normal School of Elbasan which would prepare teachers for supporting the spread of Albanian education. He was imprisoned by the Ottoman authorities during 1909-1911 due to his nationalist activity. On 26 November 1912, Dalliu was an active participant in the ceremony of raising the Albanian flag in Tirana, 2 days before the National Declaration of Independence. At the same time he drafted a letter-protest which was sent to the Serbian army approaching from the north.

paragraph: From April 25 to May 3, 1921, he took part in the Congress for National Unity in Vlora, together with Musa Maçi as representatives of the society "Lidhja Kombëtare" (National League), Qazim Mulleti of Tirana's society "Vllaznia-Zgjimi" (Brotherhood - Awakening), and Avni Rustemi for the society "Bashkimi" (Union). During the interbellum period, Dalliu focused on teaching, writing, and translation. He is remembered in Albanian as one of the few high rank clerics who were devoted to the national cause as well as to religion. He taught for many years at the Madrasa of Tirana and wrote many work and studies on Islam. He also wrote satirical poetry, and published the newspaper "Dajti" (Dajt).

paragraph: He was part of the National Assembly in 1943. With the rise of the communists in power in 1944, he was arrested and imprisoned due to his engagement in politics and some sharp anti-communist poetry he had written. Dalliu died in jail on 25 May 1952, and was annihilated by the communist historiography.

paragraph: Herluin of Bec

paragraph: Herluin otherwise Hellouin (995/ 997–August 26, 1078) was a knight at the court of Gilbert of Brionne and subsequently a Benedictine monk. He founded the Abbey of Our Lady of Bec, Normandy.

paragraph: Section::::Early life.

paragraph: Herluin was born around 995/997 in Bonneville-Aptot, according to Mabillon, of Norman nobility.

paragraph: His father was Ansgot. According to the "Vita Herluini", (Gilbert Crispin ,c. 1055-1117), Ansgot was descended from a Danish Viking follower of Rollo, while his mother, Heloise, was related to the counts of Flanders.

paragraph: In his youth, he was a brave soldier to whom the Duke Robert gave more than one mark of esteem. Later, he was poorly paid for his services by Gislbert and began to look on the profession of arms with disgust. One day in 1034, amid a frightful melée where he had little hope of survival, he vowed to "drop the sword" and become a monk.

paragraph: Section::::Monastic career.

paragraph: He survived and retired as a hermit to one of his fields, in about 1041. With several companions, he laid the foundation of a monastery at Bonneville, or Burneville, where, in 1034/1035, the Duke granted land to the abbey. Herluin built the cloister and the monastic buildings and adopted the Rule of St. Benedict. On 25 March 1034 the chapel built by Herluin was dedicated by Herbert, Bishop of Lisieux. In 1037, Herluin was consecrated abbot.

paragraph: Bonneville, however, was difficult to access and lacked water. Herluin and the brothers resolved to leave, and in about 1039 settled about two miles away, by the banks of the Bec, from which the abbey gets its name.

paragraph: Gilbert of Brionne was a generous benefactor to Bec Abbey. The monastery experienced significant growth and founded a second church at Le Bec-Hellouin. William the Conqueror endowed the abbey, as did his sons.

paragraph: Lanfranc and Saint Anselm, future archbishops of Canterbury were Herluin's students. Other students of Herluin at Bec included Pope Alexander II; Theobald of Bec, Archbishop of Canterbury; William Bona Anima, Archbishop of Rouen; Guitmund, Bishop of Aversa; Arnost, Bishop of Rochester; Turold of Brémoy, Bishop of Bayeux; Yves, the Bishop of Chartres; Fulk of Dammartin, the Bishop of Beauvais; Gilbert Crispin and the Abbot of Westminster.

paragraph: Section::::Death.

paragraph: Herluin died on August 26, 1078; at his side was Roger, abbot of Lessay. His funeral was presided over by Gilbert Fitz Osbern, Bishop of Évreux.

paragraph: The remains of Herluin can be seen in the abbey church, with some of his documents. He is considered Blessed and his feast day is August 26. He is often referred to as Saint Herluin but was not canonised.

paragraph: João Ameal

paragraph: João Ameal was the literary pseudonym of Portuguese historian, political theorist, novelist and politician João Francisco de Barbosa Azevedo de Sande Ayres de Campos, 3rd Count of Ameal, GCC, OSE (Coimbra, October 23, 1902 – Lisbon, November 23, 1982). His surname is also graphed "Aires de Campos" in contemporary Portuguese orthography, and he himself signed it in both forms. Both as an author and as a politician, he was active chiefly during Portugal's Estado Novo, and is regarded as one of the regime's leading intellectuals and historiographers. He is especially renowned for his widespread "História de Portugal" ('History of Portugal'), a multi-volume work first published in 1940, and for the several historical studies which he authored throughout his life, most of which are shaped by his integralist convictions.

paragraph: Section::::Family and early life.

paragraph: João Francisco de Barbosa Azevedo de Sande Ayres de Campos was the son of João de Sande Magalhães Mexia Ayres de Campos, 2nd Count of Ameal (May 11, 1877 - December 22, 1957), and his wife Maria Benedita Falcão Barbosa de Azevedo e Bourbon, sister of the 2nd Count of Azevedo. His father was a career diplomat, having served in this capacity in the Hague, and also as Secretary to Portugal's Minister of Foreign Affairs, Venceslau de Lima. During João's infancy, his father was briefly exiled in Galicia as a result of his involvement in a failed republican coup - returning upon the proclamation of the Portuguese Republic in 1910.

paragraph: He was the grandson of renowned Coimbra politician and art collector João Maria Correia Ayres de Campos, 1st Count of Ameal; his great-grandfather, João Correia Ayres de Campos, a lawyer by profession, had himself been a historian of considerable reputation, namely within the fields of palaeography and medieval studies. Following in the footsteps of his grandfather and great-grandfather, João studied Law, graduating from the University of Lisbon in 1921.

paragraph: His parents would die together in a car accident in Ota, near Lisbon, in 1952; until his father's death, he was styled Viscount of Ameal (Portuguese: "Visconde do Ameal"), a subsidiary title originally created for his father by king Carlos I in 1901 and confirmed by exiled king Manuel II in 1920.

paragraph: In 1928 he married Maria Teresa de Castro Sottomayor, only daughter of Dom Miguel Nicolau de Sottomayor, with issue.

paragraph: Section::::Politics.

paragraph: From a young age, João Ameal was affiliated with the movement Integralismo Lusitano, founded in his native Coimbra in 1914, whose ranks included his friends António Sardinha, Alberto de Monsaraz, José Pequito Rebelo, José Hipólito Vaz Raposo, Leão Ramos Ascensão, Luís de Almeida Braga, and Francisco Rolão Preto. A group of Catholic and royalist intellectuals influenced by Counter-Enlightenment ideology, namely by the thought of Charles Maurras and the Action Française, they provided a strong critique of Portugal's First Republic, and of contemporary parliamentary regimes. In 1934, he was the main author of the influential "Cartaz-Decálogo do Estado Novo", comprising the ten key principles of Salazar's political programme, the first systematic exposition of the regime's social, economic and imperial vision - a document strongly informed by integralist and corporatist thought and by Pope Leo XIII's writings on Catholic social doctrine.

paragraph: Unlike many of his integralist companions, who would become disillusioned with Salazar's regime on account of its enduring republicanism, Ameal remained largely faithful to the "Estado Novo", and never shifted his allegiance to its political opposition. He would serve as a deputy to Portugal's National Assembly for four legislatures, between 1942 and 1957, and was also a member of the Central Committee of the Portuguese Legion, editing its bulletin for some years. Despite these commitments, he remained a convicted monarchist throughout his life, founding and directing the "", which supported the prerogatives of the exiled king Manuel II of Portugal. Ameal's unwavering support of Manuel II until his death in 1932 was a further point of divergence form his former Integralist companions, since the mainstream of the movement favoured the branch descended from the traditionalist king Miguel I. Upon Manuel's death without heirs, these would become the sole pretenders to the Portuguese throne.

paragraph: A committed Catholic, he was a founding member of Portugal's Association of Catholic Writers ("Associação dos Escritores Católicos"), and was received in audience by Pope Pius XII at the Vatican in this capacity in 1953.

paragraph: Section::::Writings.

paragraph: João Ameal began his literary career at the age of 17 with the novel "O Que os Meus Olhos Viram" (1919); this was followed by the chronicles "Em Voz Alta e em Voz Baixa" (1920) and the romances "Os Olhos Cinzentos" (1922), "Nossa Senhora da Morte" (1922) and "Religião do Espaço" (1925). He published also "Balões Venezianos", a compilation of chronicles, and "Claridade". He abandoned the writing of fiction in the 1920s.

paragraph: As a journalist, he directed the "" and the monarchist publication "Acção Realista"; he briefly replaced Manuel Pestana Reis at the head of the "Diário da Manhã" in 1940. He was the chief editor of the newspaper "A Noite" in 1939 and collaborated with Diário de Notícias, writing also for the periodicals "Nação Portuguesa", "Rumo", "Época", "O Dia", "Gazeta de Coimbra" and "A Flama". In the 1940s and 1950s, he collaborated with the radio "Emissora Nacional", supplying a regular programme devoted to literary criticism.

paragraph: Ameal's historical and political works, often informed by his traditionalist sensibilities, included the studies "Legitimismo, Tradicionalismo e Constitucionalismo" (originally conceived as a preface to his relative Miguel de Sottomayor's work "A Realeza de D. Miguel", 1929, a Legitimist revision of Portuguese 19th century history), "Portugal Restaurado" (a collaboration with Alfredo Pimenta and others) and "Falência da Democracia" (1933), a criticism of contemporary Liberal parliamentary regimes. Sympathising with the figure of defeated king Miguel I, as did most contemporary traditionalists, he authored several historical studies dedicated to him, including "Verdadeiro Perfil de El-Rei Dom Miguel" (1940), "Dom Miguel e a Vilafrancada" (1940) and "Dom Miguel Infante" (originally a preface to the first Portuguese edition of Arthur Herchen's "Dom Miguel I, König von Portugal", 1946).

paragraph: In 1928, Ameal published the political book "A Contra-revolução" ('The Counter-revolution'), inspired by the contemporary impact of Mussolini, in which he sketches out his hopes for the regime that was then about to replace the First Portuguese Republic.

paragraph: An enthusiast of the thought of St Thomas Aquinas, he penned several studies of his work, including "São Tomás de Aquino: Iniciação ao Estudo da sua Figura e da sua Obra" (1938), "São Tomás de Aquino, Mestre da Idade-Nova" (1938), and "A Revolução Tomista" (1952); he also translated Fr. Tomás de Perrancho's book "Santo Tomás de Aquino" from the original Spanish.

paragraph: Strongly committed to Catholic apologetics, Ameal published the manifesto "Nacionalismo e Patriotismo: Deveres Para Com a Pátria Segundo a Doutrina Católica" (1940), and later wrote a lengthy introduction to the first Portuguese translation of G. K. Chesterton's "Orthodoxy", titled "A Revolução de Chesterton" (1958).

paragraph: His extensive "História de Portugal" ("History of Portugal", first published in 1940 and awarded the "Alexandre Herculano Prize" in 1943) underwent several re-editions, and has become a popular reference book in the field of Portuguese history, rendering João Ameal well known among the general public.

paragraph: Section::::Honours.

paragraph: On January 30, 1965 João Ameal received the Great Cross of the Military Order of Christ in Lisbon's Palácio Foz. On June 30, 1971, in attention to his services to Portuguese culture, he was elevated to Grand Official of the Military Order of St James of the Sword.
