paragraph: Blind Willie McTell

paragraph: Blind Willie McTell (born William Samuel McTier; May 5, 1898 – August 19, 1959) was a Piedmont blues and ragtime singer and guitarist. He played with a fluid, syncopated fingerstyle guitar technique, common among many exponents of Piedmont blues. Unlike his contemporaries, he came to use twelve-string guitars exclusively. McTell was also an adept slide guitarist, unusual among ragtime bluesmen. His vocal style, a smooth and often laid-back tenor, differed greatly from many of the harsher voices of Delta bluesmen such as Charley Patton. McTell performed in various musical styles, including blues, ragtime, religious music and hokum.

paragraph: McTell was born in Thomson, Georgia. He learned to play the guitar in his early teens. He soon became a street performer in several Georgia cities, including Atlanta and Augusta, and first recorded in 1927 for Victor Records. He never produced a major hit record, but he had a prolific recording career with different labels and under different names in the 1920s and 1930s. In 1940, he was recorded by the folklorist John A. Lomax and Ruby Terrill Lomax for the folk song archive of the Library of Congress. He was active in the 1940s and 1950s, playing on the streets of Atlanta, often with his longtime associate Curley Weaver. Twice more he recorded professionally. His last recordings originated during an impromptu session recorded by an Atlanta record store owner in 1956. McTell died three years later, having suffered for years from diabetes and alcoholism. Despite his lack of commercial success, he was one of the few blues musicians of his generation who continued to actively play and record during the 1940s and 1950s. He did not live to see the American folk music revival, in which many other bluesmen were "rediscovered".

paragraph: McTell's influence extended over a wide variety of artists, including the Allman Brothers Band, who covered his "Statesboro Blues", and Bob Dylan, who paid tribute to him in his 1983 song "Blind Willie McTell", the refrain of which is "And I know no one can sing the blues like Blind Willie McTell". Other artists influenced by McTell include Taj Mahal, Alvin Youngblood Hart, Ralph McTell, Chris Smither, Jack White, and the White Stripes.

paragraph: Section::::Biography.

paragraph: He was born William Samuel McTier in Thomson, Georgia. Most sources give the date of his birth as 1898, but researchers Bob Eagle and Eric LeBlanc suggest 1903, on the basis of his entry in the 1910 census. McTell was born blind in one eye and lost his remaining vision by late childhood. He attended schools for the blind in Georgia, New York and Michigan and showed proficiency in music from an early age, first playing the harmonica and accordion, learning to read and write music in Braille, and turning to the six-string guitar in his early teens. His family background was rich in music; both of his parents and an uncle played the guitar. He was related to the bluesman and gospel pioneer Thomas A. Dorsey. McTell's father left the family when Willie was young. After his mother died, in the 1920s, he left his hometown and became an itinerant musician, or "songster". He began his recording career in 1927 for Victor Records in Atlanta.

paragraph: McTell married Ruth Kate Williams, now better known as Kate McTell, in 1934. She accompanied him on stage and on several recordings before becoming a nurse in 1939. For most of their marriage, from 1942 until his death, they lived apart, she in Fort Gordon, near Augusta, and he working around Atlanta.

paragraph: In the years before World War II, McTell traveled and performed widely, recording for several labels under different names: Blind Willie McTell (for Victor and Decca), Blind Sammie (for Columbia), Georgia Bill (for Okeh), Hot Shot Willie (for Victor), Blind Willie (for Vocalion and Bluebird), Barrelhouse Sammie (for Atlantic), and Pig & Whistle Red (for Regal). The appellation "Pig & Whistle" was a reference to a chain of barbecue restaurants in Atlanta; McTell often played for tips in the parking lot of a Pig 'n Whistle restaurant. He also played behind a nearby building that later became Ray Lee's Blue Lantern Lounge. Like Lead Belly, another songster who began his career as a street artist, McTell favored the somewhat unwieldy and unusual twelve-string guitar, whose greater volume made it suitable for outdoor playing.

paragraph: In 1940 John A. Lomax and his wife, Ruby Terrill Lomax, a professor of classics at the University of Texas at Austin, interviewed and recorded McTell for the Archive of American Folk Song of the Library of Congress in a two-hour session held in their hotel room in Atlanta. These recordings document McTell's distinctive musical style, which bridges the gap between the raw country blues of the early part of the 20th century and the more conventionally melodious, ragtime-influenced East Coast Piedmont blues sound. The Lomaxes also elicited from the singer traditional songs (such as "The Boll Weevil" and "John Henry") and spirituals (such as "Amazing Grace"), which were not part of his usual commercial repertoire. In the interview, John A. Lomax is heard asking if McTell knows any "complaining" songs (an earlier term for protest songs), to which the singer replies somewhat uncomfortably and evasively that he does not. The Library of Congress paid McTell $10, the equivalent of $154.56 in 2011, for this two-hour session. The material from this 1940 session was issued in 1960 as an LP and later as a CD, under the somewhat misleading title "The Complete Library of Congress Recordings", notwithstanding the fact that it was truncated, in that it omitted some of John A. Lomax's interactions with the singer and entirely omitted the contributions of Ruby Terrill Lomax.

paragraph: McTell recorded for Atlantic Records and Regal Records in 1949, but these recordings met with less commercial success than his previous works. He continued to perform around Atlanta, but his career was cut short by ill health, mostly due to diabetes and alcoholism. In 1956, an Atlanta record store manager, Edward Rhodes, discovered McTell playing in the street for quarters and enticed him with a bottle of corn liquor into his store, where he captured a few final performances on a tape recorder. These recordings were released posthumously by Prestige/Bluesville Records as "Last Session". Beginning in 1957, McTell was a preacher at Mt. Zion Baptist Church in Atlanta.

paragraph: McTell died of a stroke in Milledgeville, Georgia, in 1959. He was buried at Jones Grove Church, near Thomson, Georgia, his birthplace. A fan paid to have a gravestone erected on his resting place. The name given on his gravestone is Willie Samuel McTier. He was inducted into the Blues Foundation's Blues Hall of Fame in 1981 and the Georgia Music Hall of Fame in 1990.

paragraph: In his recordings of "Lay Some Flowers on My Grave", "Lord, Send Me an Angel" and "Statesboro Blues", he pronounces his surname "MacTell", with the stress on the first syllable.

paragraph: Section::::Influence.

paragraph: One of McTell's most famous songs, "Statesboro Blues", was frequently covered by the Allman Brothers Band; it also contributes to Canned Heat's "Goin' Up the Country". A short list of some of the artists who have performed the song includes Taj Mahal, David Bromberg, Dave Van Ronk, The Devil Makes Three and Ralph McTell, who changed his name on account of liking the song. Ry Cooder covered McTell's "Married Man's a Fool" on his 1973 album, "Paradise and Lunch". Jack White, of the White Stripes considers McTell an influence; the White Stripes album "De Stijl" (2000) is dedicated to him and features a cover of his song "Southern Can Is Mine". The White Stripes also covered McTell's "Lord, Send Me an Angel", releasing it as a single in 2000. In 2013, Jack White's Third Man Records teamed up with Document Records to issue "The Complete Recorded Works in Chronological Order of Charley Patton, Blind Willie McTell and the Mississippi Sheiks".

paragraph: Bob Dylan paid tribute to McTell on at least four occasions. In his 1965 song "Highway 61 Revisited", the second verse begins, "Georgia Sam he had a bloody nose", a reference to one of McTell's many recording names. Dylan's song "Blind Willie McTell" was recorded in 1983 and released in 1991 on "The Bootleg Series Volumes 1-3". Dylan also recorded covers of McTell's "Broke Down Engine" and "Delia" on his 1993 album, "World Gone Wrong"; Dylan's song "Po' Boy", on the album "Love and Theft" (2001), contains the lyric "had to go to Florida dodging them Georgia laws", which comes from McTell's "Kill It Kid".

paragraph: The Bath-based band Kill It Kid is named after the song of the same title.

paragraph: A blues bar in Atlanta is named after McTell and regularly features blues musicians and bands. The Blind Willie McTell Blues Festival is held annually in Thomson, Georgia.

In May 2011, a conference entitled “Saudi Women of Tomorrow” was also organized under her patronage. She sponsored many charities within the Kingdom and made donations to many research programs and family welfare projects, too. Under her patronage, career days were organized towards female employment.

paragraph: Section::::Activities.:Princesses' council.

paragraph: In 2003, Princess Seeta initiated the Princesses’ Council. The Council was designed to involve one member of each of the royal family’s sub-branches. It was the first family council for female royals in Saudi Arabia. All members of the council were asked to be interested in social work such as health-care, children, women, and business. The council became an important body in the House of Saud. Instead of focusing on charity work, it functions as a think tank and lobbying body.

paragraph: The council is designed to meet at a regular period, twice a month, every second week lasting for two or three hours. Societal issues focusing on women-related topics are being discussed in the meetings. The outcomes of these meetings are mostly non-binding suggestions for solving certain issues, and petitions to relevant governmental institutions. At the initial phase, the number of the council members was twenty-two. The number of council members is thirty royal women in its current form.

paragraph: Arnold Zadikow

paragraph: Arnold Zadikow (Kolberg, Pomerania 27 March 1884 – 8 March 1943 Theresienstadt concentration camp) was a modernist German-Jewish sculptor and medalist who worked in Germany and France. Zadikow studied under the neoclassical sculptor Heinrich Waderé

paragraph: and mainly worked on portrait busts, gravestones and plaques. He was a soldier on the Western Front during the Great War and sustained combat injuries in 1917 before being taken to a British prisoner of war camp. After the war, he dwelt mainly in Munich and Rome, but briefly worked in Paris in 1932. Zadikow liked to work with biblical motifs, and his sculpture of the young David was displayed in the entrance of the Berlin Jewish Museum in 1933. Considered his most important work, the statue was lost during the Second World War.

paragraph: In 1933, sensing trouble for Germany's Jewish population, Zadikow moved to Prague with his wife Hilda and their daughter Marianka. He was later joined by other German artists such as Oskar Kokoschka, John Heartfield and Thomas Theodor Heine. In the wake of the Nazi invasion of Czechoslovakia in 1939, Jews in the country faced increasing persecution, and finally on the 15th May 1942, the Zadikows were rounded up and ordered to board a train to Theresienstadt concentration camp, where Arnold was to pass away. Hilda and Marianka were transported to Auschwitz-Birkenau the following year, but managed to survive long enough to be liberated in 1945.

paragraph: Throughout his working life, Zadikow designed decorative gravestones, including that of the German physician and pioneering sexologist Magnus Hirschfeld. The upright headstone in gray granite is inset with a bronze bas-relief portrait of Hirschfeld in profile and the slab covering the tomb is engraved with Hirschfeld's Latin motto, "Per Scientiam ad Justitiam". Whilst in Paris, he was also commissioned by Albert Einstein to produce a headstone for a family member. According to Zadikow's daughter, Marianka, Einstein provided the family with an affidavit for use in an immigration application for the US; although Zadikow was unable to afford the visa.

paragraph: Section::::The Statue of "The Young David".

paragraph: Created in 1921, Zadikow's statue in stone of The Young David was the centrepiece of the entrance to Berlin's Jewish Museum, when it opened in 1933 on the eve of the Nazi accession to power. Zadikow presented the biblical motif of David, carrying slingshot; a muscular warrior, that adhered to contemporary German conceptions of male beauty.

paragraph: The figure of David represented Jewish military prowess, leading to Zadikow to remark of his work that "Das ist meine Antwort an Hitler und die Nazis" or "This is my answer to Hitler and the Nazis". The statue was displayed at a time that Jews were being portrayed as ugly and avaricious in common discourse. Considered degenerate by the Nazi regime and out of line with its prescribed aestheticism, the sculpture was eventually destroyed along with other pieces of his work in 1942.

paragraph: John Young (building contractor)

paragraph: John Young (1827 – 27 February 1907) was an Australian bowler, builder, politician and alderman.

paragraph: Section::::Life and career.

paragraph: Young was born in Foot's Cray, Kent, England and died in Annandale, Sydney, New South Wales. After moving to Victoria, Australia, in 1855, he had mixed results as a builder. He then moved to Sydney in 1866 and proceeded to make his mark. As a result, he is especially remembered as the builder of St Mary's Cathedral in Sydney (designed by William Wardell), and the Johnston Street group of houses in Annandale. The most outstanding house in the group was The Abbey, a sandstone, heritage-listed house in the Victorian Free Gothic style. (Sydney folklore has it that Young took gargoyles intended for St Mary's Cathedral and used them on The Abbey). Another outstanding house was Highroyd. The house known as "Oybin" is also heritage-listed.

paragraph: The Johnston Street group originally consisted of eight houses, two of which ("Rozelle" and "Claremont") have since been demolished and replaced with blocks of home units. Young himself lived in the nearby house known as "Kentville", which has also been demolished.

paragraph: Young also took an active interest in politics. He was Mayor of Sydney in 1886 and Mayor of Leichhardt in 1879 and 1884–85.

paragraph: Young died of cancer at "Kentville" in 1907.

paragraph: John Young Crescent in the Canberra suburb of Greenway is named in his honour.

paragraph: Cheng Jinfang

paragraph: Cheng Jinfang () (1718–1784) was a well-known poet and scholar of the Qing Dynasty who followed the Tongcheng school of literary prose. His courtesy name was Yumen (鱼门) and his pseudonym was Jiyuan (蕺园).

paragraph: Section::::Life.

paragraph: Cheng was born in Jiangdu, Jiangsu province. His father was a merchant in the salt business. Huishang (徽商), that is to say, businessmen from Huizhou (徽州), not only did well in business, but also played an important role in cultural field. There were many Huizhou merchants who were excellent in academic fields. Cheng was such a Huishang (徽商) who did well both in business and Confucianism. He earned much while being interested in cultural investments. He achieved the Imperial examination degree of Jinshi in 1771 and he was appointed to the Hanlin Academy (翰林院). After that, he continued to take the imperial examination several times but failed all. In 1773, Cheng was appointed to edit Siku Quanshu.

paragraph: Cheng married in 1736 to his cousin Xiao who was the daughter of his mother’s brother. When he got elderly, he took two concubines.

paragraph: Cheng carried on the family business in selling salt. Wu Jingzi (吴敬梓), who hated salt merchants, also became his friend. When the two became friends, Cheng was 24 and Wu was 41. But their friendship wasn’t influenced by the difference of age and their sincere friendship lasted a lifetime. He often discussed academic problems with scholars. In his early life, Cheng made friends with Shang Pan (商盘) and Yuan Mei (袁枚). In his later years, he often traveled with Zhu Yun (朱筠) and Dai Zhen (戴震). Cheng was so dedicated in social and cultural work that he had no time to manage his business and eventually went bankrupt.

paragraph: In April 1784, Cheng decided to go to Shaanxi Province to ask his friend Bi Yuan (毕沅) for help because of his financial problem. However, soon after Cheng's arrival at Bi Yuan's place, he died of illness on 21 June 1784.

paragraph: Section::::Studies.

paragraph: Section::::Studies.:Confucianism.

paragraph: Cheng learnt Confucianism from one of his family member named Cheng Tingzuo (程廷祚), who was a famous specialist in Confucianism at that time. In Cheng's later years, he also learned Confucianism from master Dai zhen (戴震) and Zhu Yun (朱筠). Even though he was born rich, he immersed himself in studying Confucianism and he spent almost all his money in buying books and helping poor scholars. He bought over 50,000 books on Confucianism and the poor scholars were free to read them. He even offered them shelters and food and he enjoyed sharing ideas with those scholars.

paragraph: Section::::Studies.:Study on Wu Jingzi's "scholars" "儒林外史".

paragraph: Cheng is one of Wu Jingzi’s (吴敬梓) most intimate friends in his late years. Wu Jingzi’s "Scholars" was first published by Cheng, which is one of the greatest contributions to the world for him. Meanwhile, Cheng is also the first scholar to make an all-around comment on Wu and his "Scholars". Cheng’s records of Wu’s life, his analysis of Wu the person and his thoughts, and his comments on the ideological theme of the "Scholars" are all of very high academic value. But his review of the author and the opus is biased, more or less, which shows the limitations of the time and the individual vision.

paragraph: Section::::Studies.:Thoughts on education.

paragraph: Cheng held the opinion that it was more important for scholars to be practical than to be academic. He was in favor of both innovation and seeking the truth from facts. Cheng pointed out that scholars should explore the true meaning of Confucius and Mencius rather than be pursuing the fame of Imperial Examination. Cheng also suggested that people should be proficient in both study and archery.

paragraph: Lanxi Daolong

paragraph: Lanxi Daolong (;) (c. 1213-1278), born in Sichuan Province, China in 1213 A.D. (Southern Song Dynasty), was a famous Chinese Buddhist monk, calligrapher, idealist philosopher, and is the founder of the Kenchō-ji sect, which is a branch of the Rinzai school.

paragraph: Lanxi Daolong entered temple life at the age of thirteen. Due to the Mongol Conquest of the Song Dynasty in China in 1246, also driven by the new trend that Zen monks of the Southern Song Dynasty increasingly tended to voluntarily go to Japan to preach Zen Buddhism, plus the influences of his teachers and friends, he sailed to Japan to preach Zen Buddhism, and later moved to Kamakura, where he took charge of Kenchō-ji (建長寺). after having accepted the invitation of Hōjō Tokiyori (北条時頼) in 1253.

paragraph: Lanxi Daolongs calligraphy was famous in Japan, especially "Rule of Zen" (法语规则). Daolong died in Kenchō-ji, and was given the Posthumous Name as Dajue Zen Master (大覚禅師, Daikaku Zenji in Japanese) by Emperor Go-Uda (後宇多天皇). Throughout his lifetime, he made great contributions to promote Sino-Japanese cultural interactions.

paragraph: Section::::Biography.

paragraph: Section::::Biography.:Early life in China.

paragraph: Lanxi Daolong was born in Lanxi, Fujiang, Sichuan Province (presently Mianyang, Sichuan Province) in 1213 (in the Jiading period of Southern Song Dynasty) and died in Japan on July 24, 1278 at 2pm. It is difficult to trace his parenthood and the living conditions of his childhood. We only know that the family name of Lanxi Daolong was Ran. According to "Biographies of Monks" (高僧传), Lanxi Daolong displayed purity, excellence and bravery.

paragraph: In 1226, at the age of 13, he went to Daci Temple (), Chengdu, and he was tonsured to participate in various forms of Zen learning in 1227. Later, he went to Zhejiang Province to learn Zen from Wuzhun Shifan in Wanshou Temple (万寿寺), and finally became a disciple of Chijue Daochong, Beijian Jujian and so on. Daolong persevered in learning dhyana there. Before long he began to travel through Hunan, Hubei and Jiangxi, finally settling down in Yangshan (in Wuxi, Jiangsu) where he learned Zen from Renjue (formerly known as Wuming Huixing, 1160–1237) in Cuiwei Temple.

paragraph: Section::::Biography.:Travel to Japan.

paragraph: In the autumn of the 6th year of Chunhu (AD 1246), at the age of 33, Lanxi Daolong left for Japan with his disciples and two statues of the Buddha to preach Zen, boarding a Japanese merchant ship from Tiantong Temple in Ningbo, Zhejiang. First, he arrived in Daizaifu (太宰府) and wrote "The rite of sitting in meditation" (坐禅仪) to instruct his followers. In the second year, he arrived in Kyoto and lived in Sennyū-ji (泉涌寺), a Ritsu temple. After spending some years in Kyushu and Kyoto, Lanxi Daolong came to Kamakura. In 1248, he went to Kikokuzan Kongō Jufuku Zenji (亀谷山金剛寿福禅寺), a temple of the Kenchō-ji branch of the Rinzai sect, usually known as Jufuku-ji (寿福寺).

paragraph: In 1249, Hōjō Tokiyori (北條時賴), the fifth shikken (regent) of the Kamakura shogunate, decided to build a Zen training monastery, and at that time, he has converted to Lanxi Daolong. Built according to the architecture style of the Chinese Song Dynasty, Kenchō-ji (建長寺), a Rinzai Zen temple, was constructed on the orders of Emperor Go-Fukakusa (後深草天皇) in Kamakura　and completed in 1253, fifth year of the Kenchō era, from which it takes its name, and Lanxi Daolong became its first abbot. Lanxi Daolong preached Zen in Kamakura for 13 years. Later Emperor Kameyama (亀山天皇) recalled Lanxi Daolong to Kyoto and appointed him the eleventh abbot of Kennin-ji (建仁寺). Lanxi Daolong made it a purely Zen institution, and three years later, he returned to Kamakura. There he was exiled twice to Kōshū (甲州). He built more than 20 temples during his exile in Kōshū, Shinshū (信州) and Ōshū (奥州). Hōjō Tokimune (北条時宗) remitted Lanxi Daolong and greeted him back to Kamakura. Lanxi Daolong selected a site for Engaku-ji (円覚寺), but in 1278, he died before the construction. After his nirvana, there are Buddha's relics. During his thirty-three-year stay in Japan, he built 49 temples and now these temples have become famous Buddhist architectures.

paragraph: Section::::Biography.:Works of calligraphy.

paragraph: In calligraphy, Lanxi Daolong imitated Huang Tingjian, Zhang Jizhi and Chu Suiliang’s works of calligraphy, and he not only inherited the core of their works, but also developed it, and formed his own style. His calligraphy has an elegant pattern. The force of his writing was powerful and skillful. The whole style was simple and straight.

paragraph: In the calligraphy circles of Japanese Buddhist temple, Lanxi Daolong was equal to Rong Xi. However, only a few works of his calligraphy are extant today. Two works of "Rule of Zen" (法语规则) and three works of "The article of reading the variant Chinese characters" (重文讽诵文) are now stored at Kenchō-ji (建長寺) and are national treasures of Japan. The work of "Diamond Sutra" (金刚经) preserved in the Da De temple of Kyoto is also an important work of his calligraphy.

paragraph: Section::::Influences on Japanese culture.:Buddhism.

paragraph: Living in Japan for more than 30 years, Lanxi Daolong had great effects on Japanese culture. He was the first one to introduce the Pure Zen Buddhism of Song Dynasty into Japan. In addition, Lanxi Daolong also brought the Song Dynasty characterized culture into Japan, for instance, the Edo Neo-Confucianism and philosophy, the literature and art, the architectural aesthetics and the daily customs. By mixing them with Japanese culture, he accelerated the formation of Japanese Zen Buddhism. Moreover, Lanxi Daolong had strong supports from Japanese rulers, especially from the Kamakura Shogunate , which paved the road for the development of Zen Buddhism in Japan and helped it establish its leadership position in the various Japanese Buddhism sects. Furthermore, the Zen Buddhism had a great impact on the formation of the Bushidō and the national character of Japan.

paragraph: Section::::Influences on Japanese culture.:Tea.

paragraph: As drinking tea was prevalent in Buddhist temples and the provinces of Jiangsu, Zhejiang and Sichuan, where Lanxi Daolong used to live, were the main tea-producing areas, he was deeply influenced by the tea culture. We can find many words and phrases concerning "drinking tea" in quotations from Lanxi Daolong. Therefore, Lanxi Daolong required his disciples to strictly follow the discipline of drinking tea, the way many people in Southern Song Dynasty did. In this way Lanxi Daolong made contributions to the formation and spread of Japanese tea ceremony.

paragraph: Section::::Influences on Japanese culture.:Drama.

paragraph: It is still inconclusive about his influence on Japanese drama. But Lanxi Daolong had written a poem in Japan. In this poem, he expressed the insights of Zen Buddhism by recalling the scene that he was seeing the Zaju in Sichuan province. By confirmation, Some scholars think that it is the important clue approving that Japanese drama was influenced by Zaju of Song Dynasty. Thus, he was regarded as one of the important figures in the exchanges of Sino-Japanese drama culture.

paragraph: Section::::Influences on Japanese culture.:Literature.

paragraph: Lanxi Daolong mainly used three forms to communicate Chinese literature with Japanese literature:

paragraph: First, Lanxi Daolong quoted a large number of references of the Tang poetry and Song poetry and literary allusions when he preached Zen, for example "The cloud does at the end of the Castle Peak, but the pedestrian is outside the Castle Peak" (白云尽处是青山, 行人更在青山外)., "Disregard the changing circumstances" (刻舟求剑) and "Castles in the air" (画饼充饥).

paragraph: Second, Daolong often wrote poems about Zen and his feelings. These poems were full of grace and charm, and had a great influence on Literature of the Five Mountains ().Third, Quotations from Lanxi Daolong, which was edited by the disciples of Lanxi Daolong, has enriched and improved the literary genre of Japanese Zen Quotations with Rich content, complete form, and wide propagation. It was regarded as one of the signs of maturity of Japanese Zen Quotations.

paragraph: Floyd D. Rose

paragraph: Floyd D. Rose is an American musician and engineer who invented the "Floyd Rose Locking Tremolo" System in the late 1970s, eventually founding a company of the same name to manufacture and license his products. This double locking system was notable for its ability to stay in tune despite repeated use and wide variations in pitch. His design was later recognized on "Guitar World"s "10 Most Earth Shaking Guitar Innovations."

paragraph: Section::::Development of the locking system.

paragraph: Rose was a guitarist in a rock band in the 1970s. Like many other guitarists of the time period, he frequently experienced issues with his guitars going out of tune after using the tremolo arm. In 1976, after trying several traditional techniques for keeping the guitar in tune, he began developing a locking system to keep the strings from moving freely through the nut. Several improvements soon followed, including using more durable materials to lock the strings down on the nut, and the creation of a similar system of clamps to lock the strings down on the bridge. His double locking system was originally hand-made, but high demand eventually led to Rose licensing his design to Kramer Guitars for large-scale manufacturing.

paragraph: Section::::Musical career.

paragraph: In the early 1980s, Rose was playing guitar in an American hard rock band named C.O.R.E. Eventually, he and vocalist Scott Palmerton (also known as Jonathan K.) left the band in order to form Q5. They were joined by guitarist Rick Pierce, bassist Evan Sheeley and drummer Gary Thompson from another local band named TKO. In 1983, the band gained the attention of the rock band Heart's management team and recorded a seven-song demo. Later that same year, the band recorded their debut album, "Steel the Light", and was re-released the following year on the Music for Nations label. The band's follow-up album, "When the Mirror Cracks", took a more commercial approach, but failed to achieve the level of success of their previous release. The band disbanded shortly after.

paragraph: John Calvin Stevens

paragraph: John Calvin Stevens (October 8, 1855 – January 25, 1940) was an American architect who worked in the Shingle Style, in which he was a major innovator, and the Colonial Revival style. He designed more than 1,000 buildings in the state of Maine.

paragraph: Section::::Early life.

paragraph: Stevens was the son of Maria Wingate and Leander Stevens, a cabinet maker and builder of fancy carriages. He was born in Boston, Massachusetts, but when he was two, his family moved to Portland, Maine.

paragraph: Stevens wanted to study architecture at the Massachusetts Institute of Technology, but lacked the money to attend. Instead, he apprenticed in the Portland office of architect Francis H. Fassett, who in 1880 made him a junior partner to open the firm's new Boston office. Another architect working in the same building was William Ralph Emerson, whose historicist aesthetic in the Queen Anne Style had a profound effect on Stevens. He married Martha Louise Waldron in 1877, and they had four children. Stevens opened his own office in Portland in 1884.

paragraph: Section::::Early life.:Career.

paragraph: In 1888 Stevens formed a partnership with Albert Winslow Cobb. Together they wrote the book "Examples of American Domestic Architecture" (1889), an early study of the Shingle Style. Cobb wrote the prose and Stevens provided the illustrations. The partnership was dissolved in 1891. Stevens' son, John Howard Stevens, became an architect and joined his father's firm in 1898. John became a full partner in 1904, and the firm was renamed Stevens Architects.

paragraph: His most-acclaimed early house — the James Hopkins Smith house in Falmouth Foreside, Maine (1886) — was featured in George William Sheldon's "Artistic Country Seats" (1886–87). In "The Shingle Style" (1955), Vincent Scully described the Smith house as a ""pièce de résistance"" and a "masterpiece", "a more sweeping and coherent version of Stevens' own house". Sheldon also praised his "powerful alterations" to a summer hotel called the Poland Springs House.

paragraph: Houses designed by Stevens can be found along the Maine coast, as well as in Portland (particularly the West End) and its suburbs. He also designed public libraries, municipal buildings, hotels, and churches, as well as nine buildings for the campus of Hebron Academy, including the Psi Upsilon Fraternity House on the Bowdoin College campus.

paragraph: In one of his rare commissions outside of Maine, he created a master plan for and designed a chapel and at least six barracks buildings at the National Home for Disabled Volunteer Soldiers (Southern Branch) in Hampton, Virginia.

paragraph: Section::::Early life.:Other interests.

paragraph: Stevens was a landscape painter. He belonged to the Brushians, a Portland art group which went on weekend outings. He exhibited his work with the Boston Art Club, the Portland Society of Art, and elsewhere. His oil painting "Delano Park, Cape Elizabeth" (1904) is in the collection of Blaine House, the Maine governor's official residence.

paragraph: He was an avid art collector. He donated "Afternoon Fog" by Winslow Homer to the L. D. M. Sweat Memorial Galleries, now part of the Portland Museum of Art.

paragraph: In 1889, Stevens was named a Fellow of the American Institute of Architects. He died in 1940 and is buried in Portland's Evergreen Cemetery.

paragraph: In recognition of his architectural contributions on the Portland peninsula, the city declared October 8, 2009 to be John Calvin Stevens Day. The ceremony included a Congressional Record of Recognition presented by the office of Senator Olympia Snowe.

paragraph: Giovanni De Min (painter)

paragraph: Giovanni De Min (Belluno, October 24, 1786- Tarzo, November 23, 1859) was an Italian painter and engraver, active in a Neoclassic style.

paragraph: Section::::Biography.

paragraph: His parents were of humble origins; his mother, Lucia Schiochet, was the domestic servant of Francesco Maria Colle, a professor of the Atheneum of Padua. In Padua, Demin first apprenticed with Paolo De Filippi, who noting his skills, and with the patronage of the Falier family of San Vitale, had him enrolled by 1804 at the Academy of Fine Arts of Venice, directed by Lattanzio Querena. There he studied alongside Francesco Hayez, and was a pupil of the painter Teodoro Matteini and Pietro Tantini. In 1808, De Min was awarded a stipend from the Academy to study in Rome. There he fell under the influence of neoclassical artists such as Canova.

paragraph: Returning to Venice, De Min mainly dedicated himself to fresco or panel decoration of houses and salons. His decorations (1817) of mythologic themes in the Palazzo Cicognara in Venice, using designs by Hayez, are now lost. The next year, in collaboration with Hayez he helped decorate the Palazzo of the Count Giovanni Papadopoli in San Marina with depictions of "Leda", "Diana and Acteon", "Salmace and Hermaphrodite", "Callisto", "Venus and the Graces". He also painted "The Four Elements" and "The Dream of Love" for the casa Comello near San Canciano in Venice. Also in 1818 in collaboration with Hayez, and in a commission arranged by the secretary of the Accademia, Antonio Diedo, he participated in the restoration of the Tintoretto canvases in the Ducal Palace. With the death of Angelo Pizzi by 1819, and with the encouragement of Count Cicognara, De Min had been named to professor of sculpture at the Accademia.

paragraph: It is not clear how active he was as a professor, since by 1818, De Min had moved over to Padua, where he was very active. He worked on the decoration with subjects from the "Iliad" (1818) of the Palazzo Pesaro-Papafava. He painted a "Triumph of Rossini" (1822) in the Palazzo Treves de' Bonfili. In collaboration with Hayez, they painted a series of mythologic subjects: "Convito degli Dei", "Triumph and Marriage of Bacchus and Ariadne", "Mars and Venus", and "Venus and Ascanius" (1821–24) in the Palazzo Rusconi Sacerdoti. In 1824-25, he painted the "Story of Psyche", and episodes from Tasso's work in the Palazzo Gaudio. In 1825, in the Palazzo Rossi, now Moschini, he painted mythologic subjects. In 1828, in Palazzo Revedin, he painted "La Fortuna", "Laocoon", "Ulysses kills Procedus". In this same decade he painted the "Education of Achilles" and "Apotheosis of Canova" in Palazzo Crescini-Trieste. For the casa Fasolo, he painted "Erminia saves Tancred", "Jove and Juno", "Leda". Finally from 1829-1831, he frescoed the "Story of Psyche" for the Palazzo Treves de' Bonfili in Venice, a palace where Ludovico Lipparini, Borsato, Cicognara and others were employed. He also painted a large historic canvas of the "Massacre of Alberico da Romano and his family", which only is now known through an 1839 lithography by Francesco Locatello.

paragraph: Demin late in life moved to Ceneda, near present-day Vittorio Veneto, and painted frescoes in churches and Villas in Veneto including "La Lotta delle Spartane" in Villa dei Patt near Belluno. He also painted the Council Hall of the Palazzo Rosso in Belluno and in 1837 a salon of Villa Gera in Conegliano.

paragraph: He painted large oil canvases depicting the "Resurrection of Lazzarus" (1825), "The Exile of the Ezzelini" and the "Profanation of the Temple" for the church in Auronzo. In 1830, he painted the "Apostles" in fresco for the church of Possagno, a "Final Judgement" for a church in Paderno, "Queen Saba before Solomon" and the "St Saba embarks for Constantinople" (1846). He painted the "Defeat of the Fallen Angels" for the church of Caneva.

paragraph: He engraved a series of scenes in Honor of the Empress Caroline Augusta of Bavaria (1818).

paragraph: One of his pupils was Pietro Paolétti.

paragraph: Peter Burrowes

paragraph: Peter Burrowes (1753–1841) was an Irish barrister and politician.

paragraph: Section::::Life.

paragraph: He was born in Portarlington, County Laois in 1753. At Trinity College, Dublin, which he entered in 1774, he distinguished himself in the debates of the College Historical Society. While still a student at the Middle Temple, in 1784, he published a pamphlet on Catholic Emancipation, which introduced him to the notice of Flood and the other leading Irish patriots. In the following year he was called to the bar, where he rapidly acquired a good practice. In 1790, along with Wolfe Tone and others, he founded a society in Dublin for the discussion of literary and political subjects. In a duel which he fought at Kilkenny in 1794 with Somerset Butler, his life was only saved by the ball striking against some coppers which he happened to have in his waistcoat pocket.

paragraph: Though he did not share in the more extreme views of the United Irishmen, he was a zealous supporter of all the most important measures of reform. Along with thirteen other king's counsel, on 9 December 1798, he protested against the proposals for a union with Great Britain, and after being elected member for Enniscorthy in February, 1800 he continued, as long as the Irish parliament existed, persistently to oppose the measure. In 1803 he acted as the counsel of Robert Emmet, and in 1811 he was employed to defend the catholic delegates. From 1821 to 1835 he was commissioner of the insolvent debtors court.

paragraph: He died in London on 8 November 1841. He is buried in Kensal Green Cemetery in London to the north-east of the main chapel.

paragraph: Leonida Bissolati

paragraph: Leonida Bissolati (20 February 1857 in Cremona – 6 March 1920 in Rome) was a leading exponent of the Italian socialist movement at the turn of the nineteenth century.

paragraph: Section::::Biography.

paragraph: He was born from the liaison of Paolina Bergamaschi, a nurse, with Stefano Bissolati, a priest who left the Church in 1859, at age 37, and later became director of Cremona's city library and a noted scholar. At birth the child was named Leonida Bergamaschi; his name was changed at age 18, when Stefano Bissolati legally adopted him (after marrying Paolina in 1868, five years after she had become a widow).

paragraph: With this family background, Leonida Bissolati naturally was a leftist already as a student at the University of Bologna, where he earned his law degree at age 20. Returning to Cremona, he practiced law as an attorney and published many articles in journals and newspapers. In 1876 he was elected to the City Council of Cremona, at first in the ranks of the Radicals, then gradually moving closer to the Socialists. He served for 18 years, notably by being in charge of Public Education. He married Ginevra Coggi, who soon fell chronically ill and died in 1894; later, his soulmate and companion was Carolina Cassola, whom he eventually married in 1913.

paragraph: From 1889 to 1895 he organized peasant demonstrations and the social struggle for better living conditions in the countryside. In 1889 he founded "L'eco del popolo" (The Echo of the People), which subsequently became the local organ in Cremona of the Italian Socialist Party (PSI). He also published a partial translation of the Communist Manifesto of Marx and Engels.

paragraph: In 1896 he became director of the "Avanti!" (Forward!), the official organ of the PSI, relinquishing this post in 1903, to resume it later from 1908 to 1910.

paragraph: In 1897 he was elected to the Chamber of Deputies of the Italian Parliament for the college of Cremona. His refusal to oppose the war on Turkey for the conquest of Libya triggered his resignation as socialist Member of Parliament in February 1912; five months later he was expelled from the PSI. He promptly went on to found the Italian Reformist Socialist Party (Partito Socialista Riformista Italiano), with Bonomi and Cabrini.

paragraph: Bissolati strongly advocated Italy's entry into World War I on the side of the Triple Entente, while his former socialist friends favored neutrality. He volunteered for the front and served with distinction, receiving a medal. Back in Rome, he served in two successive Italian Governments (those headed by Boselli and Orlando). He was responsible for supplying troops and keeping in touch with the generals. At the end of the war, he supported the League of Nations and Woodrow Wilson's principle of self-determination in the settling of the new national borders. This infuriated the nationalists, bent on annexing to Italy sizeable areas inhabited by Germans and Slavs in the Northeast. Attacked from all sides, he resigned from the government and withdrew from politics in December 1918, although subsequently met with Woodrow Wilson and urged that Italy not be given Fiume or the Dalmatian Coast.

paragraph: He died in Rome of a post-operative infection.

paragraph: Ono no Komachi

paragraph: Section::::Life.

paragraph: Almost nothing of Komachi's life is known for certain, save for the names of various men with whom she engaged in romantic affairs and whose poetry exchanges with her are preserved in the "Kokin Wakashū". She was probably born between 820 and 830, and she was most active in composing poetry around the middle of the ninth century.

paragraph: Extensive study has gone into trying to ascertain her place of birth, her family and so on, but without conclusive results. The Edo-period scholar Arai Hakuseki advanced the theory that there was more than one woman named Komachi and that the legends about her referred to different people. This theory was later expanded to conjecture that there were four "Komachis". It has been conjectured that she was a in the service of Emperor Ninmyō, and when the latter died in 850 she started relationships with other men.

paragraph: According to one tradition, she was born in what is now Akita Prefecture, daughter of Yoshisada, Lord of Dewa. The Noh play "Sotoba Komachi" by Kan'ami describes her as "the daughter of Ono no Yoshizane, the governor of Dewa". Her social status is also uncertain. She may have been a low-ranking consort or a lady-in-waiting of an emperor.

paragraph: The headnote to poem #938 in the "Kokinshū" implies she had some sort of connection to Fun'ya no Yasuhide.

paragraph: Section::::Life.:Legends.

paragraph: had developed as early as the eleventh century. They were later used extensively by the writers of Noh plays.

paragraph: Stories abound of Komachi in love. One of the legends about her is that she was a lover of Ariwara no Narihira, her contemporary poet and also a member of the Rokkasen. It has been speculated that this legend may derive from the perhaps-accidental placement of one her poems next to one of Narihira's.

paragraph: Another group of legends concern her cruel treatment of her lovers, notably Fukakusa no Shōshō, a high-ranking courtier. Komachi promised that if he visited her continuously for a hundred nights, then she would become his lover. He visited her every night, regardless of the weather, but died on the ninety-ninth night.

paragraph: A third type of legend tells of an aged Komachi, forced to wander in ragged clothes, her beauty faded and her appearance so wretched that she is mocked by all around her, as punishment for her earlier mistreatment of her lovers. Yet another group of legends concern her death, her skull lying in a field; when the wind blows through the skull’s eye socket the sound evokes Komachi's anguish.

paragraph: A different categorization system for Komachi legends was given by Masako Nakano. She gives five groupings:

paragraph: Section::::Poetry.

paragraph: Almost all of Komachi's extant poems are melancholic. Poet and translator Kenneth Rexroth and Ikuko Atsumi said of her poetry:

paragraph: Her beauty may be legendary but her rank as one of the greatest erotic poets in any language is not. Her poems begin the extreme verbal complexity which distinguishes the poetry of the "Kokinshū Anthology" from the presentational immediacy of the "Man'yōshū.

paragraph: Most of her waka are about anxiety, solitude or passionate love. In the "Kokinshū", all but one of her poems—the one that later appeared in the "Hyakunin Isshu", quoted below—were classified as either "love" or "miscellaneous" poems. She is the only female poet referred to in the of the anthology, which describes her style as "containing naivety in old style but also delicacy".

paragraph: One of her poems was included as #9 in Fujiwara no Teika's "Ogura Hyakunin Isshu":

paragraph: The poem was originally included in the "Kokinshū" as #133, in the section dedicated to seasonal (spring) poetry. The poem is filled with many layers of significance, with almost every word carrying more than one meaning. It was the subject of a short essay appended to Peter McMillan's translation of the "Ogura Hyakunin Isshu".

paragraph: In his "Seeds in the Heart", translator, critic and literary historian Donald Keene said that "[t]he intensity of emotion expressed in [her] poetry not only was without precedent but would rarely be encountered in later years. […] Komachi's poetry, however extravagant in expression, always seems sincere." He also praised her poetry along with that of the other poets of the “dark age” of waka in the ninth century in the following terms:

paragraph: The passionate accents of the waka of Komachi and Narihira would never be surpassed, and the poetry as a whole is of such charm as to make the appearance of the "Kokinshū" seem less a brilliant dawn after a dark night than the culmination of a steady enhancement of the expressive powers of the most typical Japanese poetic art.

paragraph: Section::::Legacy.

paragraph: The many legends about her have made her the best-known of the Rokkasen in modern times. Until relatively recently, when the title "Miss XYZ" became common in Japan, the woman considered most beautiful in such-and-such town or region would be dubbed "XYZ Komachi". She and her contemporary Ariwara no Narihira are considered archetypes of female and male beauty, respectively, and both feature heavily in later literary works, particularly Noh plays.

paragraph: Komachi features frequently in later-period literature, including five Noh plays: "Sotoba Komachi", "Sekidera Komachi", "Ōmu Komachi", "Sōshi Arai Komachi" and "Kayoi Komachi". These works tend to focus on her talent for "waka" and her love affairs and the vanity of a life spent indulging in romantic liaisons. Komachi's old age is also frequently portrayed: when she has lost her beauty, has been abandoned by her former lovers, and now regrets her life, wandering around as a lonely beggar woman — albeit still appreciated by young admirers of her poetry. This fictional description is influenced by Buddhist thought and there may be no factual resemblance between it and the historical reality.

paragraph: Mishima Yukio reworked "Sotoba Komachi" for the modern theater, publishing his version in January 1952. It was first performed the following month. The basic plot (the age-worn former beauty encounters a young poet and relates some of her life's story, which causes him to fall in love with her, with fatal results) is retained, but the action takes place in a public park, with flashbacks to the salons and ballrooms of Meiji-era Japan. An English translation by Donald Keene was published in 1967.

paragraph: The play "Three Poets" by playwright Romulus Linney includes a one act story about Komachi the poet.

paragraph: In her honor, the Akita Shinkansen is named "Komachi". A variety of rice, Akita Komachi, also bears her name.
