paragraph: Matthias Leupold

paragraph: Matthias Leupold (born 1959 in Berlin) is a German photographer and professor who lives and works in Berlin. His father Harry Leupold was set designer at the D.E.F.A. studio for feature films in Potsdam-Babelsberg.

paragraph: Section::::Life and work.

paragraph: Matthias Leupold completed his photographic education at the D.E.F.A. studio for feature films in Potsdam-Babelsberg. in the early eighties, he started staging photographs in order to express his interest in both photography and film. At first small exhibitions in East Berlin were tolerated by the GDR government. More extensive exhibitions for example at Bauhaus in Dessau and University of Fine Arts in Dresden were forbidden. In 1986, threats of arrest and condemnation influenced his decision to move from East Berlin to West Berlin. He started studying Visual Communications in 1987 at the Berlin University of the Arts (UdK), completing his degree as a master student. He has traveled to many places, including America and Asia, in order to exhibit his work and to photograph in very diverse places.

paragraph: In his series of works, Leupold explores manifestations of picture groups and their social references. In 1988/89, he initiated the "Flag Raising Ceremony – Staged Photographs of The Third German Art Exhibition in Dresden 1953", to analyze the year 1953 artistically. Thereby, the pictures of this strict beginning of the formalism debate are taken up and restaged photographically.

paragraph: In 1994, Leupold succeeded to exhibit his visual criticism in the Military Historical Museum in Dresden, where he first began his career. His work hung in the same house in which this far-reaching demonstration of power took place in 1953.

paragraph: Another black and white picture series is inspired by the ideological content of the German magazine "Die Gartenlaube" (Editor: Ernst Keil) and restaged with effortful characteristics, backgrounds and current clothes.

paragraph: Aside from his series, Leupold photographs numerous frames. Actors, models and laymen made chances for his camera productions. Personal and socially relevant topics like solitude, homecoming, protection, neediness, abundance and waste, as well as current events are reflected.

paragraph: Some of his photographs make specific content references to a novel by Robert Musil "Der Mann ohne Eigenschaften" (The Man without Qualities).

paragraph: Matthias Leupold stayed in the German Academy, Villa Massimo in Rome, from 1997-1998. The mostly color photographs, which were taken there, are characterized by observations of southern light on chapels, sculptures and Madonna Portraits.

paragraph: Most recently, he strayed from his staged photography roots, and roamed into the realm of documentary, creating a full-length film about Vietnamese veterans and their families in the aftermath of Agent Orange usage in the Vietnam war. (2012/13)

paragraph: Matthias Leupold represents a unique figure in the artistic landscape. This is expressed in his contributions to the exhibitions: "Art in the GDR", Berlin National Gallery 2003 and "Berlin-Moscow/Moscow-Berlin" 2004, in Moscow 2004. When it comes to defining Leupold's work and elaborations, one summarizes in three polar tensions: between statics and dynamics, between contemplation and narration, between comic and symbol. In the pictures, these dimensions and categories do not fall apart but merge partly or completely.

paragraph: Atıl İnaç

paragraph: Atıl İnaç (born 22 March 1975) is a Turkish film director.

paragraph: Section::::Early life.

paragraph: İnaç was born into a family of filmmakers: his mother was a screenwriter and his father a producer. İnaç went to the United States for high school education. Upon graduation, he studied philosophy at the University of Missouri-Kansas City. Later, İnaç earned his degree in Boğaziçi University (Istanbul), Philosophy Department. He continued his academic studies at Claremont Graduate University - Philosophy Department, specializing in philosophy of language.

paragraph: He worked as a producer for TRT (Turkish Radio Television) in 3 radio shows which were broadcast nationwide in Turkey. İnaç's amateur studies in jazz music led him to produce and host jazz-oriented radio shows on Acik Radyo, a prominent, private Turkish radio station. He also wrote articles on and did interviews with jazz musicians and jazz composers.

paragraph: Section::::Filmmaking.

paragraph: During his graduate studies, he worked for Pittard Sullivan Branding Firm in Los Angeles as branding development consultant. Upon his return to Istanbul, Atil İnaç started writing and directing TV series and sitcoms for most of the major television networks in Turkey between 2003-2007.

paragraph: İnaç completed his feature debut "Zincirbozan" in 2007. It was a controversial political depiction of the 1980 military coup d'état in Turkey.

paragraph: Director's second feature "Kolpaçino" was a blockbuster comedy which was distributed both nationally and internationally.

paragraph: "A Step into the Darkness" / ("Buyuk Oyun") was his third film which was partially shot in post-war Iraq. The film went to numerous international film festivals.

paragraph: He co-directed the feature drama "The Partner" ("Ortak") in association with his director brother Ulas İnaç. It tells the story of a young, struggling actor who decides to change the course of his life, and starts pimping a young college girl to earn his living. They set one rule only: not to fall in love with each other. "The Partner" ("Ortak") was theatrically released in late 2013.

paragraph: İnaç later wrote his last feature film "Circle" in 2012. The story is centered on the social decadence and its destructive reflections on the lives of urbanized, educated and thus tamed middle class people in the midst of a political and economical turmoil of the past decade in Turkey. The film won Film-Directors Best Director award in 2013 Adana International Film Festival, and Best Film, Best Actor, Best Actress, Best Supporting Actor awards in 2014 Ankara International Film Festival.

paragraph: Enchin

paragraph: The rivalry was largely geographical, and was not based much on sectarian differences over interpretations of practice or doctrine; nevertheless, the friction between the followers of the two "zasu" finally broke out into a violent conflict. Rivalres between the followers of different "zasu" were not anything new at that time. During his twelve years on Hiei, Enchin himself saw a conflict between direct disciples of Saichō (namely Enchō and Kōshō) and the disciples of his own master, the second Tendai "zasu" Gishin. After the death of Gishin, his main follower, Enshu, was elected as the third "zasu", but Enchō and Kōshō objected and finally forced Enshu and his followers to leave Mount Hiei.

paragraph: Most significantly, Enchin united the Tendai school's teachings with those of Chinese Esoteric Buddhism, and interpreted the "Lotus Sutra" from the point of view of esoteric teachings as well as used Tendai terminology in order to explain the esoteric "Mahavairocana Tantra."

paragraph: Enchin is said to have supported the worship of native gods ("kami") and certain elements of Confucianism. In a memorial speech in 887, he noted the respect the court of Tang China had for Japan because of Japan's encouragement and welcoming of the ideals of "li" () and "yi" (). He warned that though Enryaku-ji was founded with the native gods in mind, "no such officiating monks are provided for the main deities of the mountain. This is certainly a breach of Li. There ought to be two monks to worship the two gods."

paragraph: Francis A. Hendry

paragraph: Francis Asbury Hendry (November 19, 1833 – February 12, 1917) was a Florida cattle rancher, politician, and officer in the Confederate States Army during the American Civil War.

paragraph: Section::::Early life.

paragraph: Asbury was born near Thomasville, Georgia, a son of James Edward Hendry and Lydia Carlton. He was known by the nickname "Berry." In 1851, his father took the family to Hillsborough County, Florida, settling on the Alafia River about twenty-two miles east of Tampa. His father then returned to Georgia to settle his affairs, and died suddenly on January 3, 1852. Nineteen-year-old Berry, his mother, and his siblings decided to remain in Florida.

paragraph: On March 25, 1852, Berry married Ardeline Ross Lanier (May 10, 1835 – September 6, 1917), a native of Bulloch County, Georgia. Soon thereafter, they moved to Fort Meade, Florida, where they started a cattle ranch. They marked their cattle with a crop and split in one ear and an upper square in the other. They also branded them with a large "A", Berry's middle initial, as well as his wife's first initial.

paragraph: The Hendrys lived with the garrison at Fort Meade for a time before building their first home about two miles (3 km) north on a branch of the Peace River. It is now known as the Berry Hendry Branch.

paragraph: Section::::Military career.

paragraph: During the Third Seminole War, Berry served with both Capt. William B. Hooker and Capt. Leroy G. Lesley in their independent companies of mounted volunteers. Muster rolls describe him as standing six feet and one inch in height, with grey eyes, and dark hair and complexion. Berry survived the war having seen little or no action.

paragraph: In 1860, on the eve of the Civil War, Berry Hendry was a prosperous cattle rancher with eight slaves. He opposed secession after the election of Abraham Lincoln, but loyally supported his adopted state after it passed a secession ordinance.

paragraph: On February 1, 1861, before the war really began in earnest, Hendry led efforts to create Polk County, Florida, and was elected to its first Board of County Commissioners. Hendry spent the first three years of the war supplying cattle to the Confederate Commissary Department. But, his work was made difficult by a Federal garrison that occupied old Fort Meade. So, in 1863, he organized his own cavalry company to keep the enemy isolated behind the walls of the fortress. He was given the rank of captain and attached to Colonel C. J. Munnerlyn's Cow Cavalry.

paragraph: Section::::Political career and later life.

paragraph: On October 27, 1857, he was elected to a two-year term on the Hillsborough County Commission.

paragraph: After Florida surrendered to Federal occupation in the spring of 1865, Hendry represented Polk County at the Second Constitutional Convention in Tallahassee. He was also elected to the Florida Senate representing the 28th district in the sessions of 1865 and 1866, and the 24th district in the sessions of 1875 and 1877. He was elected to the Florida House of Representatives representing Lee County for the sessions of 1893, 1895, 1897, 1899, 1901, and 1903.

paragraph: After the Reconstruction government was installed in Tallahassee in 1868, former Confederate officers were not welcome to hold elective office on the state level. So, Berry Hendry returned to Polk County, and was appointed to serve on the Board of Public Instruction.

paragraph: During the Reconstruction Era, Hendry continued to build and improve his cattle empire. He made his new headquarters in the abandoned officers' barracks at Fort Myers, and made contact with buyers from Cuba. He was among the first Florida ranchers to ship cattle to that country through the port of Punta Rassa. By 1876, he had fenced-in some of range land and owned about 50,000 head of cattle.

paragraph: On August 12, 1885, Hendry chaired a public meeting held at the schoolhouse in Fort Myers, at the corner of Second and Lee Streets. There, the electors voted to incorporate the town, and Hendry became one of its first councilmen. As such, in 1887, he led efforts to create Lee County, Florida, and was elected to its first Board of County Commissioners.

paragraph: By 1888, Hendry had moved his ranching headquarters to the vicinity of Fort Thompson. He also began to dispose of much of his range cattle in favor of Jersey and other breeds in an effort to improve the quality of his stock. He also acquired large tracts of marshland along the Caloosahatchee River for grazing. In 1893, Major Hendry was elected to represent Lee County in the state legislature, and served for more than a decade. In 1895, he platted the town of LaBelle, Florida, which he named for his daughters Laura and Belle Hendry.

paragraph: During his last years, Major Hendry retired to Fort Myers for better access to medical care. He suffered from chronic nephritis, a kidney disease. And, the state awarded him a monthly pension of twenty dollars.

paragraph: Section::::Death and legacy.

paragraph: Hendry died at Fort Myers. On May 11, 1923, the state legislature honored him with the creation of Hendry County, Florida, designating LaBelle as its seat of government.

paragraph: Dennis Adams

paragraph: Dennis Adams (born 1948) is an American artist. He has made urban interventions and museum installations that reveal historical and political undercurrents in photography, cinema, public space and architecture.

paragraph: Section::::About.

paragraph: Adams was born Des Moines, Iowa. Through his urban interventions and museum installations, Adams has focused on the conception of photography as a medium that has crucially transformed the representation of history as a primary means for the open reconstruction of imagery resonating within the realm of social context. His first decade of activity is best documented in the monograph entitled "Dennis Adams: The Architecture of Amnesia"(1989). Beginning in 1998, Adams began to explore the medium of video and social engagement with projects such as "OUTTAKE" (1999), "Makedown" (2004), Spill (2009) and most recently "Malraux’s Shoes" (2012).

paragraph: Section::::Work.

paragraph: Adams is a visual artist that has produced inversions of street architecture, urban interventions, performance videos, and works of art that form a discourse with historical and sociopolitical undercurrents in photography, cinema, public space and architecture. Since 1980, he has realized over fifty urban projects in cities worldwide from Antwerp to Zagreb. His work has been the subject of over seventy-five solo exhibitions in museums and galleries throughout North America and Europe including: The Museum of Modern Art, New York; MHKA, Antwerp; The Kitchen, New York; DeAppel Foundation, Amsterdam; The Barcelona Pavilion, Fundacio Mies Van Der Rohe, Barcelona; Contemporary Art Museum, Houston; Portikus, Frankfurt; The Queens Museum of Art, New York. Numerous works can be viewed in public collections in the United States, France, Spain, Germany and Belgium.

paragraph: Adams has produced site-specific interventions, often in highly visible locations such as bus shelters, and urban public settings that focus on the phenomenon of collective amnesia in the late twentieth century. A survey of ten years of site-specific works was published in a monograph entitled "Dennis Adams: The Architecture of Amnesia" (1989) written by Maryanne Staniszewski. The publication was followed by two mid-career surveys organized by the Museum van Hedendaagse Kunst Antwerpen and the Contemporary Art Museum of Houston. Following the events of September 11 near his Tribeca studio, Adams created a poetic series of fourteen Ektachrome photographs portraying the detritus filled sky over lower Manhattan. The series was entitled "AIRBORNE"' which after being shown in New York in 2002 was subsequently featured in the Le Mois de la Photo (Montreal) 2003 and PhotoEspana (Madrid) 2004.

paragraph: Beginning in 1998 and continuing today, Adams began to explore the possibilities of video with his "OUTTAKE", exhibited in Bremen, Berlin and with Kent in New York. Adams presented a 17:23-second segment (416 film stills) from "Bambule", a 1969 un-broadcast German documentary on delinquent girls directed by Ulrike Meinhof. These photographic stills were re-recorded as they were distributed in the Kurfurstendamm, Berlin, as "handbills," or "flyers," associated with political propaganda and advertising. Adams continued realizing a number of single channel videos including "Takedown", "Spill", "Curtain Call", "Black Belmondo" and prominently a performative installation entitled "'MAKE DOWN" (2005). Here, Adams addresses the complexity of layers of representation contained in one except from "The Battle of Algiers", particularly in the context of the ongoing transformations of the historical conflict between Islamic and Western cultures. Instead of presuming to unravel these meanings, Adams chooses instead to locate himself between the frames of the image in a re-enactment of the process of disguise.

paragraph: Adams has been a faculty member or Visiting Professor at numerous institutions including: Parsons School of Design, École nationale supérieure des Beaux-Arts, Paris, Rijksakademie van Beeldende Kunsten, Amsterdam, and the Akademie der Bildenden Kunst, Munich. From 1997 to 2004, he was the Director of the Visual Arts Program in the School of Architecture at MIT in Cambridge, Massachusetts. He currently lectures at Cooper Union, New York.

paragraph: Meng Huo

paragraph: Meng Huo was popularly regarded as a local leader representing the gentries of the Nanzhong region during the Three Kingdoms period of China. The Nanzhong region part of the territories of the state of Shu Han. When the Shu Han emperor Liu Bei died in 223 CE, the local people of Nanzhong rebelled against Shu Han, stating that there were three lords claiming to be the legitimate ruler of China and they no longer knew whom they should pledge allegiance to. In retaliation, the Shu Han chancellor Zhuge Liang launched an invasion on the Nanzhong region and successfully quelled the uprising. The "Spring and Autumn Annals of the Han and Jin Dynasties" (漢晉春秋) and the "Chronicles of Huayang" recorded that Zhuge Liang captured and released the local leader seven times until he finally swore allegiance to Shu Han.

paragraph: Meng Huo's popular image comes from the 14th-century historical novel "Romance of the Three Kingdoms", which romanticises the events before and during the Three Kingdoms period. The novel portrays Meng Huo as a southern barbarian tribal leader. He also marries the fictional Lady Zhurong, who claims descent from the fire deity Zhurong.

paragraph: The Yi consider Meng Huo one of their rulers and call him Mot Hop (Yi language: ꂽꉼ).

paragraph: Section::::Historicity.

paragraph: The absurdity of Meng Huo being captured and released seven times led many to doubt the story, and even of Meng Huo's existence. The Republican-era historian Zhang Hualan (張華爛) wrote in his article "Discussion on Meng Huo" (孟獲辯) that Meng was a fictional character invented by later historians, noting that the name "Huo" (獲), which means "captured" in Chinese, is too coincidental considering Meng's fate on being captured – a view shared by many academics.

paragraph: Meng Huo and the record of his captures first appeared in the "Spring and Autumn Annals of the Han and Jin Dynasties", written by Xi Zuochi in the Eastern Jin dynasty, and were also detailed in the near-contemporary "Chronicles of Huayang". The Liu Song dynasty historian Pei Songzhi, when compiling his annotated version of the "Records of the Three Kingdoms", found Xi's work unreliable at times. Pei did not specifically comment on Meng Huo's historicity, but pointed out elsewhere that Xi wrote history not found in earlier records, hence the historian Fang Guoyu (方國瑜) used Pei's doubts on Xi's unreliability to challenge the story of Meng Huo's seven captures. However, Fang did not go as far as to doubt Meng Huo's existence.

paragraph: Huang Chengzhong (黃承宗) of the Liangshan Yi Slave Society Museum believes Meng to be a real historical figure, though he is certain that the "seven times freed" story is fiction.

paragraph: Sichuan University professor Miao Yue (繆鉞) contended Zhuge Liang would not be able to release the leader if the latter was indeed captured. Tan Liangxiao (譚良嘯), director of the Zhuge Liang Memorial Temple in Chengdu, also stated the "seven times freed" story to be "strange and unbelievable", but like Fang and Huang, he believes Meng Huo did exist in history.

paragraph: Section::::In "Romance of the Three Kingdoms".

paragraph: BULLET::::- Chapter 87

paragraph: BULLET::::- "In the third year of Jianxing, a bulletin came to Yi Province announcing, "Meng Huo has led 100,000 Nanman tribesmen across our borders to plunder the villages.""

paragraph: BULLET::::- "Despite protest from Court Councillor Wang Lian, Zhuge Liang leaves to lead 500,000 soldiers against the southern forces."

paragraph: BULLET::::- "The Shu forces were led by Zhuge Liang. Zhao Yun and Wei Yan were his generals, their lieutenants being Wang Ping and Zhang Ni."

paragraph: BULLET::::- "Meng Huo speaks to Zhuge Liang, "The whole of the riverlands once belonged to another. Your lord seized it by force and proclaimed himself emperor. My ancestors held these lands, which you have encroached upon so barbarically.""

paragraph: BULLET::::- Chapter 88

paragraph: BULLET::::- "Zhuge Liang captures and frees Meng Huo: "I can catch him again with ease whenever I choose to. But pacification of the south requires that we subdue the hearts of the Nanman people.""

paragraph: BULLET::::- "During the conquest, Meng Huo was captured on seven different occasions, by Zhuge Liang. In addition, many Nanman generals and lieutenants were captured and treated with kindness. This caused many withdrawals and eventually the pacification of the south."

paragraph: BULLET::::- Chapter 90

paragraph: BULLET::::- Zhuge Liang: "I guessed the enemy would be looking for an ambush in the woods, so I set up decoy banners there to confuse them. There were never any troops. Next, I had Wei Yan lose a series of battles to strengthen their confidence... I ordered Ma Dai to deploy the black wagons in the valley - they had been loaded earlier with fire launchers called 'earth thunder', each containing nine missiles... We cut off the road and burned out the enemy...""

paragraph: BULLET::::- "Finally, Meng Huo admits defeat: "Seven times captured, seven times freed! Such a thing has never happened! Though I stand beyond the range of imperial grace, I am not utterly ignorant of ritual, of what propriety and honour require. No, I am not so shameless!" He then stripped off one of his sleeves (a sign of swearing oath) and pledged: "By the Chancellor's celestial might, the Southerners will never rebel again.""

paragraph: Section::::In popular culture.

paragraph: Meng Huo is featured as a playable character in Koei's "Dynasty Warriors" and "Warriors Orochi" video game series.

paragraph: Cecil D'Arcy

paragraph: Henry Cecil Dudgeon D'Arcy VC (11 August 1850 – 1881) was a New Zealand-born recipient of the Victoria Cross, the highest and most prestigious award for gallantry in the face of the enemy that can be awarded to British and Commonwealth forces. He won the VC on 3 July 1879 at Ulundi in South Africa during the Anglo-Zulu War when he was 28 years old, and a captain in the Frontier Light Horse.

paragraph: Section::::Early life.

paragraph: D'Arcy was born in Wanganui, New Zealand, where his father Major Oliver Barker D'Arcy (sometimes D'Arcey) of the 65th Regiment was in the British garrison. In 1860, Oliver D'Arcy transferred to the Cape Mounted Riflemen and settled with his family at King William's Town in the Cape Colony.

paragraph: Section::::Anglo-Zulu War.

paragraph: During the Anglo-Zulu War of 1879, Cecil D'Arcy was an officer in the Frontier Light Horse, a mounted unit of 200 volunteers raised at King William's Town in 1877 by Lieutenant Frederick Carrington.

paragraph: At the Battle of Hlobane on 28 March 1879, his unit acted as the rearguard and 20% of the 156 members were killed. D'Arcy was recommended for the VC by Evelyn Wood for going back to save the lives of wounded men in the descent of Devil's Pass; the award was not approved on the grounds that he was a volunteer and not a member of the imperial forces. Five other awards were approved, including to Colonel Redvers Buller; he had rescued D'Arcy who was retiring on foot and carrying him on his horse, while hotly pursued by Zulus.

paragraph: At the Battle of Kambula on the following day, the Frontier Light Horse were part of the pursuit of the retreating Zulu forces. Captain D'Arcy wrote in a letter published in "The Natal Mercury" in April that they "followed them for eight miles, butchering the brutes all over the place. I told the men, 'No quarter, boys, and remember yesterday'. And they did knock them about, killing them all over the place." The FLH men extracted a savage revenge for their comrades killed the day before at Hlobane.

paragraph: He was awarded the VC for his actions on 3 July 1879 when a mounted reconnaissance was ambushed near Ulundi. In a dispatch dated 5 July in "The London Gazette", Redvers Buller wrote that D'Arcy "reckons neither personal inconvenience nor danger in the execution of any order, determined and bold; he has frequently shown great personal gallantry, and has always given a fine example to his men." The citation of the VC award reads;

paragraph: He was presented with his medal in December 1879 by Sir Garnet Wolseley in Pretoria.

paragraph: Section::::Further information.

paragraph: After the Frontier Light Horse was disbanded, D'Arcy joined the Cape Mounted Riflemen as a captain. He served in the 1880 Basuto Gun War but resigned his commission in April 1881.

paragraph: In ill health, he stayed with Rev. Charles Taberer in Keiskammahoek to recuperate. During the night of 6–7 August 1881 he left the house; his body was not found for several months. He was interred on 3 January 1882 in the cemetery of King William's Town beside his parents.

paragraph: He is also considered South African, though he probably considered himself British or Anglo-Irish.

paragraph: Section::::Speculation.

paragraph: In 2008, David Randall in "The Independent" newspaper in London reported claims that D'Arcy faked his death.

paragraph: Stilpo

paragraph: Stilpo (or Stilpon; , gen.: Στίλπωνος; c. 360 – c. 280 BC) was a Greek philosopher of the Megarian school. He was a contemporary of Theophrastus, Diodorus Cronus, and Crates of Thebes. None of his writings survive, he was interested in logic and dialectic, and he argued that the universal is fundamentally separated from the individual and concrete. His ethical teachings approached that of the Cynics and Stoics. His most important followers were Pyrrho, the founder of Pyrrhonism, and Zeno of Citium, the founder of Stoicism.

paragraph: Section::::Life.

paragraph: He was a native of Megara. He probably lived after the time of Euclid of Megara, which makes it unlikely that he was a pupil of Euclid, as stated by some; and others state that he was the pupil of Thrasymachus of Corinth, or of Pasicles, the brother of Crates of Thebes. According to one account, he engaged in dialectic encounters with Diodorus Cronus at the court of Ptolemy Soter; according to another, he did not comply with the invitation of the king, to go to Alexandria. We are further told that Demetrius, the son of Antigonus, honoured him no less, spared his house at the capture of Megara, and offered him indemnity for the injury which it had received, which, however, Stilpo declined. Uniting elevated sentiment with gentleness and patience, he, as Plutarch says, was an ornament to his country and friends, and had his acquaintance sought by kings. His original propensity to wine and voluptuousness he is said to have entirely overcome; in inventive power and dialectic art to have surpassed his contemporaries, and to have inspired almost all Greece with a devotion to Megarian philosophy. A number of distinguished men too are named, whom he is said to have drawn away from Theophrastus, Aristotle of Cyrene, and others, and attached to himself; among others Crates the Cynic, and Zeno, the founder of the Stoic school. Among his followers were Menedemus and Asclepiades, the leaders of the Eretrian school of philosophy. One of his pupils, Nicarete, was also said to have been his mistress. Stilpo was praised for his political wisdom, his simple, straightforward disposition, and the equanimity with which he tolerated his rebellious daughter. Cicero relates that Stilpo's friends had described him as "vehemently addicted to wine and women", but that his philosophy eliminated his inclinations.

paragraph: Section::::Philosophy.

paragraph: Of the dialogues ascribed to him, we know only the titles. He belonged to the Megarian school of philosophy, but we learn only a little about his doctrines in the few fragments and sayings of his which are quoted.

paragraph: Section::::Philosophy.:Logic.

paragraph: Stilpo argued that the genus, the universal, is not contained in the individual and concrete. "Whoever speaks of any person, speaks of no-one, for he neither speaks of this one nor that. For why should it rather be of this one than that? Hence it is not of this one". One of his examples was that "the vegetable is not what is here shown. For a vegetable existed ten thousand years ago, therefore this here is not a vegetable". According to Simplicius, "the so-called Megarians took it as ascertained that what has different determinations is different, and that the diverse are separated one from the other, they seemed to prove that each thing is separated from itself. Hence since the musical Socrates is another determination from the wise Socrates, Socrates was separated from himself."

paragraph: Thus one thing cannot be predicated of another, that is, the essence of things cannot be reached by means of predicates. Plutarch quotes Stilpo as arguing:

paragraph: To be a horse differs from to be running. For being asked the definition of the one and of the other, we do not give the same for them both; and therefore those err who predicate the one of the other. For if good is the same with people, and to run the same with a horse, how is good affirmed also of food and medicine, and again (by Jupiter) to run of a lion and a dog? But if the predicate is different, then we do not rightly say that a person is good, and a horse runs.

paragraph: Plutarch remarks here that Colotes attacked Stilpo in a bombastic manner as though he ignored common life: "for how shall we live, if we cannot style a man good, nor a man a captain, but must separately name a man a man, good good, and a captain a captain." But Plutarch, in turn, replied, "but what man lived any the worse for this? Is there any man who hears this said, and who does not understand it to be the speech of a man who rallies gallantly, and proposes to others this logical question to exercise their mind?"

paragraph: Section::::Philosophy.:Ethics.

paragraph: Stilpo seems to have been interested in Virtue, and its self-sufficiency. He maintained that the wise man ought not only to overcome every evil, but not even to be affected by any, not even to feel it, showing, perhaps, how closely allied Stilpo was to the contemporary Cynics:

paragraph: This story was an inspiration for Friedrich Klinger's Sturm und Drang play "Stilpo und seine Kinder" ("Stilpo and his Children") written in 1777 and published in 1780.

paragraph: A one-page fragment or paraphrase from a work concerning exile is preserved in the writings of Teles of Megara, a 3rd-century BC Cynic. In this fragment, Stilpo divides the good into three parts: goods of the soul, goods of the body, and external goods. He then demonstrates that exile does not deprive a person of any of these three goods.

paragraph: Abu Said Uthman III

paragraph: Abu Said Uthman III (Abu Said Uthman ibn Abi l-Abbas ibn Abi Salim) (died 1420) was Marinid ruler of Morocco from 19 March 1398 to 1420,

paragraph: the last effective ruler of that dynasty.

paragraph: He ascended to the throne at the age of sixteen.

paragraph: He succeeded his brother, Abu Amir Abdallah ibn Ahmad. His forces were involved in an unsuccessful attempt to acquire Gibraltar from the Emirate of Granada in 1410.

paragraph: In 1415 the Portuguese seized the port of Ceuta. Abu Said Uthman III failed in an attempt to recover Ceuta, and was shortly after assassinated. His vizier gained control of the kingdom, establishing the Wattasid dynasty of rulers of Morocco.

paragraph: Section::::Siege of Gibraltar.

paragraph: The garrison of Gibraltar rebelled in 1410 against the Granadan ruler, Yusuf III, and declared allegiance to Abu Said Uthman III. Abu Said Uthman III sent his brother, Abu Said, to take charge with an army numbering some 1,000 cavalry and 2,000 infantry. They occupied a number of castles in the area as well as the ports of Estepona and Marbella. A Granadan counter-offensive in 1411 drove Abu Said back to Gibraltar, where he took refuge. Yusuf III's son Ahmad laid siege to Gibraltar and defeated several Moroccan attempts to break out. Eventually a Granadan sympathizer in the garrison helped the besiegers to gain entrance. They stormed the Moorish Castle, forcing Abu Said to surrender, and restored Granadan control over Gibraltar.

paragraph: Back in Morocco, Abu Said Uthman III reacted by writing to Yusuf III to ask him to execute Abu Said for disloyalty. Instead, the Granadan sultan gave Abu Said an army and sent him back to Morocco to launch an ultimately unsuccessful rebellion against Abu Said Uthman III.

paragraph: Section::::Ceuta.

paragraph: In 1415 King John I of Portugal seized Ceuta. This conquest marked the beginning of overseas European expansion.

paragraph: The Portuguese capture of Ceuta in 1415 had taken the Moroccans by surprise.

paragraph: In 1419 Abu Said Uthman III led an army to recover it, but his siege of Ceuta failed.

paragraph: The besieging forces included those of Abu Said Uthman III and allied forces from the Emirate of Granada.

paragraph: The Portuguese garrison of Ceuta was led by Pedro de Menezes, 1st Count of Vila Real.

paragraph: The Portuguese gathered a fleet under the command of princes Henry the Navigator and John of Reguengos to relieve Ceuta. According to the chroniclers, the relief fleet turned out to be quite unnecessary. In a bold gambit, D. Pedro de Menezes led the Portuguese garrison in a sally against the Marinid siege camp and forced the lifting of the siege before the relief fleet even arrived.

paragraph: Section::::Assassination and succession.

paragraph: The failure to recapture Ceuta led to widespread disaffection with the sultan and instability in the Marinid state. This culminated in a coup in Fez in 1420, in which the sultan Abu Said Uthman III was assassinated, leaving behind only a one-year-old child, Abu Muhammad Abd al-Haqq II as son and heir. A succession struggle broke out immediately as other pretenders quickly emerged. Opportunistically, the Nasrid rulers of Granada and the Abdalwadids of the Kingdom of Tlemcen intervened, each sponsoring different candidates for the Moroccan throne.

paragraph: At the time, Abu Zakariya Yahya al-Wattasi was serving as the long-time governor of Salé for the Marinids.

paragraph: Hearing the news of the sultan's assassination, Abu Zakariya hurried from Salé and seized control of the royal palace of Fez, proclaiming the orphan child Abd al-Haqq as the new Marinid sultan and appointing himself his regent and chief minister (vizier). Morocco quickly descended into disorder and strife. Granadan and Tlemcen interventions and intrigues continued, regional governors seized control of their districts, selling and re-selling their allegiance to the highest bidder, Sufi-inspired religious radicals drummed up mobs to seize control of urban centers and take to the field, while rowdy rural nomads, the Hilalian Bedouin tribesmen, availed themselves of the general breakdown of law and order to launch a series of bandit raids on smaller towns and settlements.

paragraph: However, the vizier Abu Zakariya Yahya al-Wattasi eventually gained control, becoming the effective ruler of Morocco, founder of the Wattasid dynasty of viziers and later sultans.

paragraph: Russell P. Hartle

paragraph: Major General Russell Peter Hartle (June 26, 1889 – November 23, 1961) was a senior United States Army officer who fought in World War I and World War II, where he commanded the 34th Infantry Division and V Corps in the European Theater of Operations (ETO).

paragraph: Section::::Biography.

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

paragraph: Hartle graduated from St. John’s College, Annapolis, Maryland in 1910, and received a commission as a second lieutenant into the Infantry Branch of the United States Army. Soon thereafter, he was sent to the Philippine Islands as the American military government was still attempting to stabilize the country nine years after the end of the Philippine–American War, yet still in turmoil due in large part to the Moro Rebellion.

paragraph: In 1912, Hartle served with the 10th Infantry Regiment, then at Fort Douglas, Utah. From 1913 to 1916, he served with the 20th Infantry Regiment on the US border with Mexico during the Mexican Border War.

paragraph: During World War I, Hartle served as a captain in the 13th Infantry Division as it was preparing to leave for France in 1919. After World War I, he was a professor of Military Science and Tactics at Utah Agricultural College (now Utah State University).

paragraph: Section::::Biography.:Between the wars.

paragraph: Hartle graduated from the Army Infantry School in 1924, the U.S. Army Command and General Staff School in 1925, and the U.S. Army War College in 1930. He returned to the Philippines in 1930, was promoted to the rank of major, and went on to Shanghai in 1932, as senior battalion commander of the 31st Infantry, under orders to protect American lives and property as the Japanese invaded China.

paragraph: In 1934, Hartle graduated from the Naval War College, and from 1934 to 1938, he served as a member of the War Plans Division of the War Department General Staff. Hartle was the first person to graduate from both the Army and Naval War Colleges.

paragraph: Promoted to the rank of colonel, Hartle commanded the 65th Infantry Regiment in Puerto Rico from 1939 to August 1941. His mission was to pull together American and Puerto Rican forces and prepare them to defend the Caribbean and eastern coast of the United States from any Axis aggression. In October 1940, while serving as commander of the mobile forces of Puerto Rico, Hartle was promoted to the one-star general officer rank of brigadier general.

paragraph: Section::::Biography.:World War II.

paragraph: In April 1941, war plan RAINBOW 5 was issued to counter further military assault by Germany against England. On August 5, 1941, Hartle was promoted to the two-star rank of major general and placed in command of the 34th Infantry Division, an Army National Guard formation, while the 34th was on maneuvers in Louisiana. Following the Japanese attack on Pearl Harbor on December 7, 1941, and the German declaration of war against the United States on December 11, 1941, war plan MAGNET Force was activated. Pursuant to that war plan, in January 1942, the 34th Division under Hartle’s command was the first U.S. division shipped overseas–to Northern Ireland to begin the European Theater of Operations (ETO).

paragraph: In the spring of 1942, Hartle recommended his aide-de-camp, artillery Captain William O. Darby, to organize and train the first modern-day U.S. Army Ranger unit, the 1st Ranger Battalion. The recommendation was authorized by General George C. Marshall, the U.S. Army Chief of Staff, in May 1942.

paragraph: On May 20, 1942, Hartle was promoted to the command of V Corps under Major General James E. Chaney, who commanded U.S. Army Forces in the British Isles. Hartle continued to serve in that capacity under Lieutenant General Dwight D. Eisenhower from June 15, 1942, to October 24, 1942.

paragraph: On November 2, 1942, Hartle became Deputy Commander of American troops in the ETOUSA. Hartle commanded V Corps until his reassignment effective July 7, 1943, to Headquarters, Army Ground Forces, Washington D.C. On July 17, 1943, Hartle was reassigned to Camp Fannin, Texas to train replacement troops. The exact reason for the reassignment is unclear; however, it was most likely due to Marshall's dissatisfaction with Hartle as a potential battlefield commander. Marshall was believed to keep a "little black book" containing the names of key officers he deemed worthy of battlefield command. It is possible that Hartle just did not make it into the book. Major General Hartle retired from the army with a physical disability on June 30, 1946, while living in Tyler, Texas.

paragraph: Section::::Biography.:Postwar.

paragraph: Upon his retirement from the military, Hartle returned to Washington County, Maryland.

paragraph: On December 14, 1945 at the Scottish Rite Temple, in Wichita, Kansas, Hartle was awarded his 33rd Degree Rank of Freemasonry.

paragraph: In 1950, Hartle made an unsuccessful run as a Democrat to become Congressman for the 6th Congressional District of Maryland.

paragraph: He died November 23, 1961 in Bethesday, Maryland, and was buried in  Rose Hill Cemetery, Hagerstown, Maryland.

paragraph: Ray Nance

paragraph: Ray Willis Nance (December 10, 1913, in Chicago – January 28, 1976, in New York City) was a jazz trumpeter, violinist and singer. He is best remembered for his long association with Duke Ellington and his orchestra.

paragraph: Section::::Early years.

paragraph: Nance was the leader of his own band in Chicago from 1932 to 1937. Then, he worked with Earl Hines from 1937 to 1939; and from 1939 to 1940 he worked with Horace Henderson.

paragraph: Section::::Ellington tenure.

paragraph: Ellington hired Nance to replace trumpeter Cootie Williams, who had joined Benny Goodman, in 1940. Nance's first recorded performance with Ellington was at the Fargo, North Dakota ballroom dance. Shortly after joining the band, Nance was given the trumpet solo on the earliest recorded version of "Take the "A" Train", which became the Ellington theme. Nance's "A Train" solo is one of the most copied and admired trumpet solos in jazz history. Indeed, when Cootie Williams returned to the band more than twenty years later, he would play Nance's solo on "A Train" almost exactly as the original.

paragraph: Nance was often featured on violin and was the only violin soloist ever featured in Ellington's orchestra (especially noteworthy is his violin contribution to the original 1942 version of "The 'C' Jam Blues"). He is also one of the better known male vocalists associated with Ellington's orchestra. On later recordings of "It Don't Mean a Thing (If It Ain't Got That Swing)", Nance took the previously instrumental horn riff into the lead vocal, which constitute the line "Doo wha, doo wha, doo wha, doo wha, yeah!" He was often featured as vocalist on "Jump for Joy," "Just A-Sittin' and A-Rockin'" and "Just Squeeze Me (But Please Don't Tease Me)". His multiple talents (trumpet, violin, vocals and also dancing) earned him the nickname "Floorshow".

paragraph: Nance was absent from the Duke Ellington Orchestra for around 3–4 months in 1946, including the date of that year's Carnegie Hall concert. In 1949, Ray showed up, along with Ellington sidemen Russell Procope, Johnny Hodges and Sonny Greer on several Ivory Joe Hunter sessions for King Records of Cincinnati.

paragraph: Section::::Post-Ellington years.

paragraph: He left Ellington in 1963 during their Middle East tour after having played alongside his predecessor Cootie Williams for a year after a bad confrontation between him and Williams. By that time, Nance had switched from trumpet to cornet. Nance was attempting to recuperate health-wise for a concert occurring the next day in Beirut and Williams asked why he was in bed all day and Nance justified his actions. However, with Williams being a temperamental man due to his recurring illnesses, one word let to another and by then Williams had commanded Ray to be a man and slapped him. Nance was beyond shocked and couldn't play the next day because his idol disrespected him to such a degree and he felt as though he should have defended himself and not allowed Williams to slap him. To make things worse, he sat on stage with his legs crossed (the most insulting action to mid-Easterners) and instead of the cheers and heavy approval from the audience he would get, he instead faced booing and hissing from the audience, and Nance could only handle so much until he asked Duke to send him home. Alas, he returned to New York and checked himself with a psychiatrist as well as having a joint session with his wife with a doctor. He had made several guest appearances in the orchestra over the years and later he toured and recorded in England in 1974.

paragraph: Nance made a few recordings as a bandleader, and also recorded or performed with Earl Hines, Rosemary Clooney, Jaki Byard, Chico Hamilton and others.
