paragraph: Princess Isabelle of Orléans (1900–1983)

paragraph: Princess Isabelle Françoise Hélène Marie d'Orléans (27 November 1900, Le Nouvion-en-Thiérache, France – 12 February 1983, Neuilly-sur-Seine, France) was a member of the House of Orléans and, by marriage, a member of the ducal Harcourt family and of the princely House of Murat.

paragraph: She was one of the four children of Prince Jean, Duke of Guise (1874–1940), who would became the Orleanist pretender to the French throne in 1926, and his wife Princess Isabelle of Orléans. Although born in France, her parents moved the family to Morocco in 1909, then a French colony. She was with her mother and siblings visiting France when World War I broke out in 1914. While her father sought in vain to obtain permission from the French government to serve in the military, the rest of the family hastened back to Morocco.

paragraph: Section::::Marriages.

paragraph: In 1923 the tradition of Orléans princesses marrying only other royalty (since the alleged 1681 wedding of "La Grande Mademoiselle") was dispensed with, as nearly all of her relatives attended Isabelle's wedding at Amélie of Orléans château in Le Chesnay on 12 September to Count Bruno d'Harcourt (1899–1930), son of Count Eugène d'Harcourt and Armande de Pierre de Bernis. An automobile racer, Harcourt was killed during practice for the Moroccan Grand Prix, leaving his wife with four children:

He wed secondly on 27 January 1951 Yvonne de Contades (born 22 April 1928), and had issue from his second marriage:

paragraph: As a widow, Isabelle remarried the Bonapartist Prince Pierre Murat (1900–1948) in 1934, at Jouy-en-Josas, "upon renunciation of the rank and prerogatives appertaining to princesses of the House of France". Prince Murat was a great-grandson of Prince Lucien Murat. No children were born of this marriage. In 1940, as World War II began and when her father died, Isabelle again took refuge at the family estate, Larache, in Morocco, where she shared quarters with her mother, and her elder sister the widowed Princess Françoise of Greece, along with her brother Henri, Count of Paris and the latter's son, Prince Michel d'Orléans.

paragraph: Rexhep Mitrovica

paragraph: Rexhep Mitrovica (15 January 1888 – 21 May 1967) was a Prime Minister of Albania's government under Nazi Germany. A staunch nationalist, he was elected head of the Second League of Prizren.

paragraph: Section::::Biography.

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

paragraph: Rexhep was born to a wealthy land-owning family from Mitroviça, (currently Mitrovicë, Kosovo), in the Ottoman Empire. He studied in Usküb and Istanbul. He was one of the leaders of the Kosovo uprising of 1912, together with Isa Boletini and Hasan Prishtina. Also in 1912, he took part in the declaration of Albanian independence as the representative of Peja. From 1921 to 1923, he served as Albanian minister of education.

paragraph: By 1921, Kosovo was within the Kingdom of Serbs, Croats and Slovenes against the will of the Albanian population majority. Albanian resistance had been largely crushed in Drenica in November 1920. The Serbian government's "Decree on the Colonization of the New Southern Lands" was now facilitating the takeover by Serb colonists of large Ottoman estates and of land seized from Albanian rebels. It is within this context that Rexhep Mitrovica, along with Bedri Pejani, tried to seek help from the western powers.

paragraph: After the fall of the government of Fan Noli in December 1924, he took part in a failed plot to overthrow Ahmet Zogu, spent a couple of years in exile in Austria and France, but was amnestied with seventy other figures on 21 September 1927.

paragraph: He returned to Albania after the Italian invasion and joined the Balli Kombëtar resistance movement in 1942. He spent much of the Italian period in prison in Porto Romano near Durrës.

paragraph: Section::::Biography.:Prime minister.

paragraph: After the capitulation of Italy, Rexhep Mitrovica was head of the Second League of Prizren, which supported Greater Albania, i.e., unification of all territories with substantial Albanian population. After German occupation of Albania, on November 6, 1943, Berlin announced that the regents and the assembly had formed a government headed by Rexhep Mitrovica, an active member of the Balli Kombëtar from Kosovo. Mitrovica's cabinet, most of whom had credentials as nationalists as well as some German or Austrian connection, included Xhafer Deva, who had studied at the Robert College of Istanbul and in Vienna, as minister of the interior and Rrok Kolaj, a Catholic from Shkodër who had studied at the University of Graz, as minister of Justice. Austrian educated Vehbi Frasheri was appointed as foreign minister. The Orthodox Elbasaner, Sokrat Dodbiba, the nephew of Lef Nosi, became minister of finance.

paragraph: In his first address to the National Assembly, Mitrovica noted that four and a half years of Italian domination had left anarchy and chaos in Albania. The pre-1939 state apparatus had been completely dismantled. The Italians had destroyed the army, the gendarmerie, the police, and the Foreign Ministry; they had changed the flag, altered personal greetings, renamed cities, and even reassigned family names. To reestablish the state, Mitrovica set down an ambitious plan that included reestablishing local government on the pre-1939 basis, gaining foreign recognition, reorganizing the economy, introducing effective agrarian reform, and creating a military force. The general goal of the government, and this was repeated at every available opportunity, was to protect Albania's territorial integrity within its ethnic borders. With the land reforms for the peasants and a very effective German propaganda emphasizing the return of Kosovo, the Germans managed to extract considerable support from the regime.

paragraph: With control over Kosovo and the creation of an Independent State of Albania, Mitrovica exacted revenge on the Serb colonists, killing and expelling thousands of Serbs.

paragraph: On July 18, 1944, Rexhep Mitrovica resigned due to illness. Hermann Neubacher, Hitler's political expert for Balkan problems, came to Tirana and persuaded Fiqri Dine to form the next government

paragraph: Section::::Biography.:Exile and death.

paragraph: During the communist takeover in November 1944, though he was ill with tuberculosis, he managed to escape to Croatia with Xhafer Deva and Rexhep Krasniqi, and in December of that year carried on over the mountains to Austria to reach Vienna. With Deva’s assistance, the ailing Mitrovica spent time in a sanatorium in Feldkirch in western Austria. In 1947, he accompanied Deva and Krasniqi to Genoa where, with the help of a Turkish diplomat of Albanian origin, he was able to immigrate to Turkey. He died at the German hospital in Istanbul as head of the Albanian community in exile.

paragraph: His grandson, Redjep Mitrovitsa is an actor of Comédie-Française.

paragraph: Section::::Quotes.

paragraph: Mitrovica identified the Albanian communists as un-Albanian since he argues that:

paragraph: ""Albanians, as Aryans of Illyrian heritage, could not ignore tradition and would be saved from the hydra of communism.""

paragraph: W. Tate Brady

paragraph: Wyatt Tate Brady (January 20, 1870 – August 29, 1925) was an American merchant, politician, Ku Klux Klan member, and a "founder" of Tulsa, Oklahoma.

paragraph: Section::::Early life.

paragraph: Brady was born in Forest City, Missouri, in 1870. His family moved to Nevada, Missouri when he was 12, where he eventually took a job at a shoe store. Here, he was the victim of a robbery. In 1890, at the age of 20, Brady headed for Creek Nation, Indian Territory, to seek his fortune in the as-yet-unfounded Tulsa, Oklahoma. In 1895, Brady married Rachel Davis, who was part Cherokee. After the marriage, Brady was adopted into the Cherokee tribe and became a strong advocate for their tribal claims against Washington. Together they had two daughters and three sons.

paragraph: Section::::Activities in Tulsa history.

paragraph: On January 18, 1898, Brady and other prominent businessmen signed the charter to incorporate Tulsa, thereby making it a city. Following the 1901 discovery of the Red Fork oil field, Brady built the Brady Hotel in 1903, hoping to take advantage of the oil boom by providing a hotel for oil executives and other traveling businessmen. It also served as a meeting ground for the Democratic Party. Active in politics, he was named to the Democratic National Committee in 1907, and backed anti-Klan candidate Jack Walton in 1922 gubernatorial election.

paragraph: Brady was known for hiring black people to work in his hotels and other businesses. Mabel B. Little, a survivor of the Tulsa Race Riot of 1921 and once employed by Brady, writes in her book "Fire on Mount Zion: My Life and History as a Black Woman in America": "Another man, Mr. Tate Brady had good feelings for black people. He hired several black boys as porters. But he told them up front, "Listen, boys: I'm gonna train you so you can get your own businesses someday."

paragraph: A contracted Investigator hired by the NCLU accused Brady, in internal documents, of being one of the organizers behind the Tulsa Outrage of 1917, in which members of the Industrial Workers of the World (I.W.W.) were tarred and feathered by the black-robed Knights of Liberty. According to the investigator, All 17 members of the I.W.W. identified Brady as the man who applied the tar and feathers. The investigator stated that he did not have sufficient evidence to prove this in a court of law.

paragraph: On November 6, 1917, Brady physically assaulted the owner of the Hotel Fox, E.L. Fox in broad daylight.

paragraph: Brady served as a night watchman during the 1921 Tulsa race riots. An article in the "Tulsa Daily World" stated "Tate Brady, proprietor of the Brady hotel, who was a member of white men on guard duty along North Main street all night, said he counted the bodies of five negroes. One negro was dragged behind an automobile, with a rope about his neck, throughout the business district."

paragraph: In 1923, the Klan, established as the Tulsa Benevolent Society, paid $200,000 for the construction of a large "Klavern" or gathering hall that could seat 3,000 members. Beno Hall, as it was known, was located at 503 N. Main St. According to Tulsa County land records, that parcel of land was then owned by Rachel Brady, Brady's wife.

paragraph: Supporting a 1923 military tribunal, Brady stated that he, like his father before him, was a member of the Klan. He stated that he had quit the Klan because he was a Democrat and would not be told how to vote. Brady supported anti-Klan gubernatorial candidate Jack Walton who "engaged in an out-and-out war with the Ku Klux Klan".

paragraph: Section::::Brady Mansion.

paragraph: Brady, who was a member of the Sons of Confederate Veterans, built a mansion known as "Arlington" that was patterned after the ancestral home of the Lee family in Virginia. The Brady Mansion still stands at 620 North Denver Avenue in Tulsa.

paragraph: Section::::Death.

paragraph: Brady died by suicide on August 29, 1925, by shooting himself in the temple. He was said to be despondent over the death of his son, John Davis Brady who was killed in a car accident in spring 1925 while studying law at the University of Virginia.

paragraph: Section::::Legacy.

paragraph: Brady was commemorated for his part in the founding of Tulsa by the names of Brady Street and Brady Heights.

paragraph: A controversy arose in 2013 over the appropriateness of naming a street for Brady, because of his membership in the KKK. On August 15, 2013, following months of debate, the Tulsa City Council voted 7–1 to change the street name to MB Brady Street, honoring Mathew B. Brady rather than Tate Brady. Mathew Brady was a famed Civil War photographer, but had no ties to Tulsa or Oklahoma. Initially, The Brady Arts District, the Brady Historical District, Brady Heights, and Brady Theater were not affected by the change, as they are named after the nearby street.

paragraph: In September 2017, the Brady Arts District Business Association voted to change the name of the district, located north of downtown, to the Tulsa Arts District in order to sever ties completely with the street's original namesake. On November 28, 2018, the Tulsa City Council voted 8–1 to rename "Mathew Brady Street" to "Reconciliation Way" effective July 1, 2019. On December 6, 2018, the Brady Theater (formerly Tulsa Convention Hall and Tulsa Municipal Theater) announced that it is changing its name to The Tulsa Theater in 2019.

paragraph: Francis Skidmore

paragraph: Francis Alfred Skidmore (1817 – 13 November 1896) was a British metalworker best known for high-profile commissions, including the glass and metal roof of the Oxford University Museum of Natural History (1859), the Hereford Cathedral choir screen (1862) and the Albert Memorial (1866–73) in London.

paragraph: Skidmore was heavily influenced by Gothic Revival style, a movement characterised by its use of medieval designs and styles. He was a member of both the Oxford Architectural Society and the Ecclesiological Society, two organisations which endorsed the Gothic Revival style. Skidmore also worked closely with architect Sir George Gilbert Scott.

paragraph: Section::::Early life and work.

paragraph: Francis Alfred Skidmore was born in Birmingham, the son of Francis Skidmore, a jeweller. The Skidmore family moved to Coventry around 1822, possibly because Coventry was an important watchmaking centre. Skidmore learned metalworking from his father and completed a seven-year apprenticeship with him. In 1845, father and son registered as silversmiths under the name F. Skidmore and son. Their early work as silversmiths consisted primarily of church plate. The earliest known examples of Skidmore's work includes three silver chalices made for St John the Baptist Church, Coventry (1845), St Giles' Church, Exhall (1845) and St Alkmund's Church, Derby (1846).

paragraph: Section::::Development of Skidmore's work.

paragraph: The 1850s were an important period in the development and expansion of Skidmore's career as a metalworker and craftsman. At the Great Exhibition of 1851, he exhibited church plate, including a silver gilt and enamelled chalice now on display at the Victoria and Albert Museum. The recognition he received at the Exhibition helped to stimulate his business and he soon expanded, beginning to produce other church furnishings including items in iron, brass and wood.

paragraph: In 1851, he also received commissions to produce gas lighting in St Michael's Church, Coventry. Skidmore's firm also installed gas lighting in St Mary's Guildhall and Holy Trinity Church, both also in Coventry. At Holy Trinity Church, some of his ironwork, wooden pews and gas lamp standards are still in situ.

paragraph: It was also in the 1850s that Skidmore met Sir George Gilbert Scott, a prominent architect, designer and proponent of Gothic Revival. Although Skidmore produced works for a variety of people, it was his long lasting, working relationship with Scott which resulted in several notable commissions. Skidmore worked with Scott on the Lichfield, Hereford and Salisbury cathedral screens and the Albert Memorial in London.

paragraph: Section::::Later life.

paragraph: Near the end of his life, Skidmore's eyesight began to deteriorate and he was disabled after being hit by a carriage in London. His final years were spent in poverty in Eagle Street, Coventry.

paragraph: Skidmore died on 13 November 1896 and was buried in London Road Cemetery, Coventry. He was survived by his widow, Emma, and their four children: Francis Sidney, Bernard, Evangeline and Kenneth. In 2000, a memorial plaque was installed at the site of Skidmore's Alma Street factory in Hillfields.

paragraph: Section::::Major works.

paragraph: During his lifetime, Francis Skidmore created works for 24 cathedrals, over 300 parish churches, 15 colleges and a number of public buildings.

paragraph: Some of his more prominent works are detailed below.

paragraph: Section::::Major works.:Cathedral screens.:Lichfield.

paragraph: Between 1855 and 1861 Sir George Gilbert Scott restored parts of Lichfield Cathedral. Francis Skidmore and John Birnie Philip produced the new Victorian metal screen designed by Scott.

paragraph: Section::::Major works.:Cathedral screens.:Worcester.

paragraph: Between 1864 and 1874 Sir George Gilbert Scott did extensive work in Worcester cathedral, mainly in the choir. Part of this was to commission a screen from Skidmore, installed in 1873 and still in place. It is rather less elaborate than the ones at Hereford and Lichfield.

paragraph: Section::::Major works.:Cathedral screens.:Hereford.

paragraph: The Hereford Screen was designed by Sir George Gilbert Scott and made by Francis Skidmore. It was made in a period of only four months. To complete such a large and complex structure in only four months, Skidmore took 'short cuts' and used mass production techniques. Skidmore displayed it at the International Exhibition of 1862 where it won a medal for its superior design and craftsmanship.

paragraph: The screen was dismantled and removed from the cathedral in 1967. The Herbert Art Gallery & Museum in Coventry purchased the screen, but was unable to restore or display it, so in 1983 it was transferred to the Victoria and Albert Museum. Before conservation, the screen was in almost 14,000 individual pieces, many of which were in very poor condition. Conservation of the screen took thirteen months and cost over £800,000 which is, as of September 2011, the largest conservation project undertaken by the V&A. The Hereford Choir Screen is now on display at the V&A.

paragraph: Section::::Major works.:Cathedral screens.:Salisbury.

paragraph: Sir George Gilbert Scott led the restoration of Salisbury Cathedral between 1863 – 1878. It was during this time that Skidmore created the cathedral's choir screen. In 1959, the screen was removed and most of it was destroyed. The chancel gates survived and are now in the collections of the Victoria and Albert Museum. As of September 2011, they are on display in the Ironwork gallery, room 114a.

paragraph: Richard Thornton

paragraph: Richard Thornton (20 September 1776 – 20 June 1865) was an English millionaire. He died in Merton, Surrey and is buried at West Norwood Cemetery in London. On his death, Richard Thornton left an estate of £2,800,000, which is the largest fortune to have been valued for probate in Great Britain before 1870. Richard Thornton was a merchant and trader, notably in Baltic goods. He was also a Liveryman of the Leathersellers' Company (a Livery Company of the City of London), of which he became Master in 1836. He personally funded the new almshouses built for the Leathersellers' Company at Barnet, where his bust (by Thomas Earle) is still preserved and a nearby road is named Thornton Road in his honour. The Leathersellers' Company also has a portrait of Thornton painted in 1838 by Frederick Yeates Hurlstone.

paragraph: Section::::Background.

paragraph: Richard Thornton was born in Burton-in-Lonsdale, North Yorkshire. He later funded a primary school and a church building in the village. He was educated at Christ's Hospital, Newgate Street, London from 1785 to 1791. He became a Donation Governor of Christ's Hospital in 1833. Christ's Hospital – an English boarding school – is now located at Horsham in Sussex.

paragraph: Section::::Wealth and obscurity.

paragraph: Richard Thornton's wealth was remarkable. At his death in 1865, his estate of £2.8m was one of the largest ever recorded. That figure equalled 0.35% of the net national income of the day, or £3.9bn in 2007 terms, which makes him the 165th richest Briton since 1066. Yet, as the eminent historian W G Hoskins noted in his article for the magazine "History Today", his name means nothing today, even though in his lifetime his wealth rivalled that of the Rothschilds and the Barings.

paragraph: Section::::Profiting from the Baltic blockade.

paragraph: Richard Thornton made part of his fortune as an indirect result of Napoleon's fatal and failed invasion of Russia. During this campaign the French army was stationed at Danzig from where it guarded every Baltic port. The Danish were strong supporters of Napoleon and their hostility to English trade was considerable: captains of Danish ships were threatened with death should they engage in any form of commerce with England. This made valuable and essential Baltic trade difficult and dangerous for English merchant ships.

paragraph: In response Richard Thornton armed one of his own merchant ships, fought off a hostile Danish gunboat, and landed in the Baltic under an assumed German name. In the process he secured essential supplies of Baltic hemp for the Royal Navy at considerable profit to himself.

paragraph: Richard Thornton's lucrative Baltic trade continued and two years later, in 1812, his brother Laurence was in the port of Memel, now known as Klaipėda, when he heard of Napoleon's retreat from Moscow. He got word back to Richard in London so speedily that it was three days before the news reached any one else in the city, including members of the British Government. Realizing this, Richard Thornton went quickly about the city obtaining signatures on contracts for the forward delivery of Baltic goods. Since the contract prices were inflated by the blockade which had now been removed, his already sizable profits became significantly greater.

paragraph: Richard Thornton's activities in the Baltic earned him the nickname “The Duke of Danzig”.

paragraph: Section::::First ever private steam yacht.

paragraph: On 12 June 1827, Richard Thornton sold the paddle steamer "Quentin Durward" to

paragraph: Kaptajnløtnant Lauritz Christensen, Copenhagen, who renamed her “Dania”. Since

paragraph: he first used her on pleasure tours on the Sound, this makes her the first ever private steam yacht.

paragraph: Edmond de Palézieux

paragraph: Edmond Henri Théodore de Palézieux, nicknamed Falconnet (20 July 1850, Vevey - 11 June 1924, Équihen-Plage) was a Swiss marine painter, known for his dramatic scenes of sailors fighting the elements. He was also an amateur sailor and navigator.

paragraph: Section::::Biography.

paragraph: He originally wanted to join the Navy, but his family refused permission, so he searched for another occupation that would allow him to travel and chose painting. He became a student of Barthélemy Menn, whose style left permanent traces in Palézieux's work. Menn also encouraged him to practice painting en plein aire. Later, he went to Paris, where he studied with Jean-Paul Laurens and made the acquaintance of Fernand Cormon.

paragraph: After a brief visit to Düsseldorf, he returned home and married Lily Olmsted, with whom he had a daughter. His family made frequent visits to Brittany and Normandy. Many of his works were inspired by sights on the shores of Lake Geneva.

paragraph: During the 1880s, he made numerous trips to Paris, where he socialized with some of his fellow painters from Switzerland, including Eugène Burnand, Charles Giron and Evert van Muyden. He also held regular exhibitions at the Salon des artistes français, which received generally good reviews.

paragraph: In 1903, after separating from his wife, he settled permanently in Équihen-Plage, near Boulogne-sur-Mer. Four years later, after his divorce was finalized, he married Suzanne Lair. This marriage produced no children. In 1910, he was named a Chevalier in the French Legion of Honor.

paragraph: The First World War forced him and his wife to remove themselves from their proximity to the battle zones. They spent time in Vevey, near Lake Annecy and in the south of France; Collioure in particular, but also in Antibes and Saint-Jean-de-Luz. He left each of these places with numerous new maritime paintings and sketches. They were finally able to return to Équihen-Plage in 1919, and he remained there for the rest of his life. In his final years, he displayed some nostalgia for his homeland; notably a painting entitled "Souvenir de régates" (now lost), where he depicts himself manning a racing boat in Lake Geneva. He was interred in the village cemetery..

paragraph: A major retrospective was held at the Lake Geneva Museum in 2014. In addition to his paintings, several of his working models were displayed.

paragraph: Section::::The sailor.

paragraph: He had been passionate about sailing and navigating since he was a young boy and learned how to manage a sailboat at the age of twelve. Although his family was opposed to sailing as a career, he took boats out on Lake Geneva as often as possible. In 1888, he commanded the "Petrel", a ship belonging to Baron Jules de Catus (1838-1910), who was a naval architect. In 1890, he had a ship built and named it the "Flirt". It was a racing boat which he used to participate in regattas on Lake Geneva.

paragraph: His involvement in sailing can be seen in his works, where there is a meticulous accuracy of detail, not only in the boats themselves, but in the navigational maneuvers as well.

paragraph: Saigyō

paragraph: Section::::Biography.

paragraph: Born Satō Norikiyo (佐藤 義清) in Kyoto to a noble family, he lived during the traumatic transition of power between the old court nobles and the new samurai warriors. After the start of the Age of Mappō (1052), Buddhism was considered to be in decline and no longer as effective a means of salvation. These cultural shifts during his lifetime led to a sense of melancholy in his poetry. As a youth, he worked as a guard to retired Emperor Toba, but in 1140 at age 22, for reasons now unknown, he quit worldly life to become a monk, taking the religious name En'i (円位). He later took the pen name, "Saigyō" meaning Western Journey, a reference to Amida Buddha and the Western paradise. He lived alone for long periods in his life in Saga, Mt Koya, Mt Yoshino, Ise, and many other places, but he is more known for the many long, poetic journeys he took to Northern Honshū that would later inspire Bashō in his "Narrow Road to the Interior". He was a good friend of Fujiwara no Teika. Sankashū ("Collection of a Mountain Home") is Saigyō's personal poetry collection. Other collections that include poems by Saigyō are Shin Kokin Wakashū and Shika Wakashū. He died at Hirokawa Temple in Kawachi Province (present-day Osaka Prefecture) at age 72.

paragraph: Section::::Style.

paragraph: In Saigyō's time, the Man'yōshū was no longer a big influence on waka poetry, compared to the "Kokin Wakashū". Where the Kokin Wakashū was concerned with subjective experience, word play, flow, and elegant diction (neither colloquial nor pseudo-Chinese), the "Shin Kokin Wakashū" (formed with poetry written by Saigyō and others writing in the same style) was less subjective, had fewer verbs and more nouns, was not as interested in word play, allowed for repetition, had breaks in the flow, was slightly more colloquial and more somber and melancholic. Due to the turbulent times, Saigyō focuses not just on "mono no aware" (sorrow from change) but also on "sabi" (loneliness) and "kanashi" (sadness). Though he was a Buddhist monk, Saigyō was still very attached to the world and the beauty of nature.

paragraph: William Mulready

paragraph: William Mulready (1 April 1786 – 7 July 1863) was an Irish genre painter living in London. He is best known for his romanticizing depictions of rural scenes, and for creating Mulready stationery letter sheets, issued at the same time as the Penny Black postage stamp.

paragraph: Section::::Life and family.

paragraph: William Mulready was born in Ennis, County Clare. Early in his life, in 1792, the family moved to London, where he was able to get an education and was taught painting well enough so that he was accepted at the Royal Academy School at the age of fourteen.

paragraph: In 1802, he married Elizabeth Varley (1784–1864), a landscape painter. She came from a family of established artists; her brothers included John Varley, friend of William Blake, Cornelius Varley, and William Fleetwood Varley.

paragraph: Their three children, Paul Augustus (1805–1864), William (1805–1878), and Michael (1807–1889) also became artists. His relationship with his wife however deteriorated gradually over the years, which is detailed in papers stored at the library of the Victoria and Albert Museum. His strong Catholic beliefs prevented any chance of a divorce but they separated. He accused her of "bad conduct" but shied from providing details. In a letter to him in 1827 she blamed him entirely for the collapse of their marriage, suggesting cruelty, pederastic activities and adultery were the reasons, writing that one of his pupils, Harriet Gouldsmith, had told her Malready "preferred her little finger" to his wife and children, and accusing him having "had taken a low boy to your bed, and turned one adrift at midnight, to seek one at the house of an unmarried man."

paragraph: His son, William Mulready Junior (1805–1878), lived in London and maintained a career of a portrait painter and picture restorer. He had five children (Ellen, Mary, Augustus Edwin, Henry William, and John). They also were trained as artists, but not all of them pursued the artistic career: Henry William and John described themselves as 'house painters'. Augustus Edwin Mulready (1844–1904) was the most successful of them and became known as a member of the Cranbrook Colony of artists.

paragraph: Section::::Artistic career.

paragraph: Many of his early pictures show landscapes, before he started to build a reputation as a genre painter from 1808 on, painting mostly everyday scenes from rural life. He also illustrated children's books including the first edition of Charles and Mary Lamb's "Tales from Shakespeare" in 1807; William Roscoe's entertaining poem "The Butterfly's Ball, and the Grasshopper's Feast" in the same year; and a sequel to the latter by Catherine Ann Dorset. Some of these were for the Juvenile Library of William Godwin and Mary Jane Clairmont; Godwin in turn wrote, under a pseudonym, an account of Mulready's early life, suitable for children.

paragraph: Mulready's paintings were popular in Victorian times. His first painting of importance, "Returning from the Ale House", now in the Tate Gallery, London, under the title "Fair Time", appeared in 1809.

paragraph: In 1815 he became an Associate of the Royal Academy (A.R.A.) and R.A. in 1816. In the same year, he also was awarded the French "Légion d'honneur". Mulready's most important pictures are in the Victoria and Albert Museum and in the Tate Gallery. In the former are 33, among them "Hampstead Heath" (1806); "Giving a Bite" (1836); "First Love" (1839); "The Sonnet" (1839); "Choosing the Wedding Gown" (1846); and "The Butt" ("Shooting a Cherry") (1848). In the latter are five, including a "Snow Scene". In the National Gallery, Dublin, are "Young Brother" and "The Toy Seller". His "Wolf and the Lamb" is in Royal possession.

paragraph: In 1840, Mulready designed the illustrations for the postal stationery, known as Mulready stationery were introduced by the Royal Mail at the same time as the Penny Black in May 1840. They were issued in two forms; one variant was precut to a diamond or lozenge shape and folded to form an envelope that could be held together by seal at the apex of the topmost flap; and lettersheets that were cut in rectangles, folded over and sealed or tucked in.

paragraph: Stationery manufacturers, whose livelihood was threatened by the new lettersheet, produced many caricatures (or lampoons) of Mulready's design. Only six days after their introduction, on May 12, Rowland Hill wrote that; "I fear we shall have to substitute some other stamp for that design by Mulready ... the public have shown their disregard and even distaste for beauty," and within two months a decision had been made to replace the Mulready designed stationery. Essentially Mulready's designs were a folly.

paragraph: Section::::Death.

paragraph: He died at the age of 77 in Bayswater, London and is buried in the nearby Kensal Green Cemetery where a monument to his memory was erected. The monument lies on the north side of the main path, midway between the entrance and the main chapel, and although not in the front line of graves it is easily spotted due to its unique form. The tomb was designed by Godfrey Sykes.

paragraph: Elsie Mackay

paragraph: Elsie Mackay (c. 1893– c. 13 March 1928) was a British actress, interior decorator and pioneering aviator who died attempting to cross the Atlantic Ocean with Walter G. R. Hinchliffe in a single engined Stinson Detroiter. Her name as an actress was Poppy Wyndham.

paragraph: Section::::Biography.

paragraph: Mackay was born in 1893 in Simla, India, to James Mackay, 1st Earl of Inchcape of Strathnaver, a British colonial administrator in India who became chairman of the Peninsular and Oriental Steam Navigation Company and Jean Paterson Shanks. Her father was serving as President of the Bengal Chamber of Commerce, as a member of the Legislative Council of the Viceroy of India, and as a member of the Council of the Secretary of State for India.

paragraph: She was reportedly disinherited by her family after eloping with actor Dennis Wyndham to be married on 23 May 1917. She appeared on the stage and screen as Poppy Wyndham from 1919 through 1921. This marriage was annulled in 1922.

paragraph: Section::::Filmography.

paragraph: Poppy Wyndham's film career included:

paragraph: BULLET::::- "A Great Coup" (1919) as Kate Hampton

paragraph: BULLET::::- "Snow in the Desert" (1919)

paragraph: BULLET::::- "Many a Slip" (1919) as The Girl

paragraph: BULLET::::- "The Tidal Wave" (1920) (as Carmen Hale / Columbine)

paragraph: BULLET::::- "A Son of David" (1920) as Esther Raphael

paragraph: Section::::Interior design.

paragraph: After the marriage to Wyndham was annulled she returned to her family and developed a career as an interior decorator, creating lavish interiors, state rooms and public spaces for her father's shipping line, the Peninsular and Oriental Steam Navigation Company (P&O). In 1923 she launched the , and went on to design much of the interiors for the four P&O "R" class ships of 1925: SS "Rawalpindi", , and , plus the in 1927.

paragraph: Section::::Flying.

paragraph: In 1923 she took up flying, gaining her pilot's licence at the De Havilland Flying School, probably the second woman since World War I after 'Mrs Atkey', bought a plane, and expressed a determination to be the first woman to fly the Atlantic. She was regarded as a contemporary role model amongst women, with dark looks, graceful manner, and a habitually well-dressed and bejewelled appearance. She was noted for driving her Rolls-Royce at great speed and was a familiar sight in her Avro biplane in the skies over South Ayrshire and Wigtownshire. She even participated in an "outside loop", the most dangerous of all stunts in air, with Capt. E. C. D. Herne as her pilot. During this manoeuvre her safety-strap broke but she clung to bracing wires while her body swung outside the plane like a stone twirled on the end of a piece of string. She was one of the first women in Britain to gain her Royal Aero Club pilot's licence and was later elected to the advisory committee of pilots to the British Empire Air League.

paragraph: Section::::Transatlantic flight.

paragraph: To achieve her transatlantic ambition Mackay bought a Stinson Detroiter, having been impressed by the aircraft during Ruth Elder's failed 1927 transatlantic attempt (despite an oil leak causing the failure over the Atlantic). It was shipped from the US to Britain and delivered to the Brooklands motor racing track, which at the time was also used as an airfield. She named it "Endeavour". It was a monoplane with gold tipped wings and a black fuselage, powered by a nine-cylinder, Wright Whirlwind J-6-9 (R-975) engine, with a cruising speed of .

paragraph: In early March 1928 the "Daily Express" discovered that Captain Hinchliffe and Mackay were preparing for a transatlantic attempt by carrying out test flights at RAF Cranwell and were staying at the George Hotel in Leadenham near Grantham. The story was silenced by Mackay's threatened legal action as she intended to depart in secret while her father was in Egypt, having promised her family she would not make the attempt.

paragraph: At 8:35 am on 13March 1928 "Endeavour" took off from RAF Cranwell, Lincolnshire, with minimal fuss as Hinchliffe had told only two friends he was going and Elsie registered under the pseudonym of 'Gordon Sinclair'.' Approximately five hours later, at 1.30 pm the chief lighthouse keeper at Mizen Head on the south west coast of Cork, Ireland saw the monoplane over the village of Crookhaven, on the great circle course for Newfoundland. A French steamer later reported seeing them still on course, but nothing else is known. A crowd of 5,000 is reputed to have waited for them at Mitchel Field, Long Island. In December 1928, eight months later, a single piece of identifiable undercarriage (a wheel with a serial number on it) washed ashore in north west Ireland.

paragraph: Section::::Commemoration.

paragraph: Elsie Mackay is commemorated by a stained glass window in the chancel of Glenapp Church in the parish of Ballantrae, Ayrshire (where her father owned the Glenapp estate). Rhododendrons, now somewhat overgrown, spell out "Elsie" on the opposite side of the glen.() A street is named after her in Gander, Newfoundland and Labrador. Her financial legacy was the Elsie Mackay Fund, a £500,000 trust bequeathed by her father that was left to the British nation on 12 December 1928, for 50 years and used to help pay off the national debt.

paragraph: Namchö Mingyur Dorje

paragraph: Namchö Mingyur Dorje (, 1645–1667) was an important tertön or "treasure revealer" in Tibetan Buddhism. His extraordinary "pure vision" revelations, which mostly occurred around the age of 16, are known as the Namchö ( "Sky Dharma" terma. He first transmitted these to his teacher Karma Chakmé (, 1613-1678), the illustrious Buddhist scholar of the Kagyu school, who wrote them down. The collection of his revelations fill thirteen Tibetan volumes and are the basis of one of the main practice traditions of the Palyul lineage, a major branch of the Nyingma school of Tibetan Buddhism. He was considered to be a reincarnation of Palgyi Senge of Shubu, one of the ministers the 8th-century Tibetan King Trisong Detsen sent to invite Padmasambhava to Tibet. He recognized Kunzang Sherab as the Lineage Holder of the Namchö terma.

paragraph: Loden Chegse, one of Padmasambhava's eight emanations, had a vision which helped him learn to read and write. At age 7, his Dakini visions helped focus on reliance upon the lama. At age 10, after a vision and with a Dharma Protector's help, he met his root lama Karma Chagme. Karma Chakmé recognized him as manifestation of Padmasambhava, Senge Dradok. Mingyur Dorje revealed the Namchö treasures at age thirteen, which were written down with Karma Chakmé's help while they stayed in retreat together for three years.

paragraph: He showed signs of illness at age 23, which progressed to his mind stream dissolving in to the great sphere of empty truth with full eight Heruka vision and mandalas.

paragraph: Liu Biao

paragraph: Liu Biao () (142–208), courtesy name Jingsheng, was a government official and warlord who lived in the late Eastern Han dynasty of China. He is best known for serving as the Governor of Jing Province (covering present-day Hubei and Hunan) from 192 until his death in 208. He was also a member of the extended family of the Han emperors through his ancestor Liu Yu, the fifth son of Emperor Jing. Liu Biao was described as a handsome man and was over eight "chi" tall (1.86 metres).

paragraph: Section::::Life.

paragraph: When the Han dynasty was consumed with war following the Yellow Turban Rebellion in 184, Liu Biao held the governorship of Jing Province (covering present-day Hubei and Hunan). Liu Biao later started a war against the warlord Yuan Shu and his minor vassal, Sun Jian. During the Battle of Xiangyang, Sun Jian was put in command of an army on Yuan Shu's orders to assault Liu Biao in Jing Province. Liu Biao appointed Huang Zu to command the forces against Sun Jian. Huang Zu was outmaneuvered by Sun Jian, but the latter was hit by an arrow and killed, effectively ending the battle in favour of Liu Biao's forces. Years after, Sun Jian's two eldest sons, Sun Ce and Sun Quan, caused Liu Biao no end of trouble as they sought to avenge their father's death. However, they did not cause Liu Biao's demise as they targeted Huang Zu, who was a general under Liu Biao, instead of Liu Biao himself. While Cao Cao (in the north) was gaining strength, Liu Biao chose to neither help nor hinder his conquests, in part because he had been dealt a defeat against the forces of Sun Ce at the Battle of Shaxian.

paragraph: Around 200 CE, after Cao Cao's total victory over the rival warlord Yuan Shao at the Battle of Guandu, Liu Biao still remained neutral, despite being one of the only other warlords in a position to oppose the two powers. Liu Biao, however, eventually decided to shelter Liu Bei, an enemy of Cao Cao and relative in deep lineage when Cao Cao defeated Yuan Shao, where Liu Bei was previously sheltered after the events of 198. This made Liu Biao a target of Cao Cao's wrath due to the fact Liu Bei rebelled against Cao Cao just before the war against Yuan Shao. After Cao Cao finalised his unification of northern China in 208, he led a large army south to conquer Jing Province. With a decline in relations between Liu Biao and Liu Bei, as a result of the meddling of Cai Mao's family, Liu Biao's people faced much difficulty. To make matters worse, Sun Quan's army had defeated and killed Huang Zu at the Battle of Jiangxia and ultimately destroyed Liu Biao's defences to the east.

paragraph: Shortly after Cao Cao's main army began its offensive, Liu Biao died of illness. Liu Biao's successor, his younger son Liu Cong, chose to surrender instead of resisting Cao Cao's invasion. Liu Biao's elder son, Liu Qi, who had had some disagreement with Liu Cong, joined the fleeing Liu Bei, leading to the Battle of Red Cliffs. The aftermath of that battle split Liu Biao's former domain between the three resulting power blocs. Jing Province continued to be a flash point throughout the remaining years of the Han dynasty and well into the Three Kingdoms period, due to its strategic position between all three warring factions, with multiple battles and campaigns fought for control of the province.

paragraph: Section::::Family.

paragraph: Liu Biao's first wife, Lady Chen (陳氏), bore him two sons: Liu Qi and Liu Cong. She died early so Liu Biao took a second wife, Lady Cai (蔡氏) from the influential Cai family in Xiangyang. As Liu Cong married Lady Cai's niece, the Cai family favoured him and wanted him to succeed his father as the Governor of Jing Province even though Liu Qi, being the elder son, should be the rightful successor. A sibling rivalry developed between Liu Cong and Liu Qi. (Note: In the 14th-century historical novel "Romance of the Three Kingdoms", Liu Qi and Liu Cong are half-brothers as Liu Cong's mother is Lady Cai, but historically they were born to the same mother.)

paragraph: Around mid-208, Liu Qi found an excuse to leave Xiangyang and serve as the Administrator of Jiangxia Commandery. After Liu Biao's death in late 208, Liu Cong became the new Governor of Jing Province with the support of the Cai family. Later that year, he surrendered to the warlord Cao Cao when the latter led his forces to attack Jing Province. Cao Cao then appointed him as the Inspector of Qing Province. On the other hand, Liu Qi, who was in Jiangxia Commandery, became an ally of Cao Cao's rivals Liu Bei and Sun Quan at the Battle of Red Cliffs in the winter of 208–209. After the battle, Liu Bei nominated Liu Qi to be the nominal Inspector of Jing Province, but Liu Qi died of illness later that year.

paragraph: Liu Biao had at least one more son, Liu Xiu (劉修), and a daughter. Liu Xiu followed Liu Cong when the latter surrendered to Cao Cao and went to Qing Province to serve as the provincial Inspector. In 210, Liu Xiu was appointed as the Administrator of Dong'an Commandery. He composed a number of poems, rhapsodies and formal hymns. Liu Biao's daughter married Wang Can's relative Wang Kai (王凱) and bore Wang Ye.

paragraph: Section::::Family.:Other relatives.

paragraph: Liu Biao had two nephews: Liu Pan (劉磐) and Liu Hu (劉虎).

paragraph: Liu Pan participated in the battles against rival warlord Sun Ce under the command of Huang Zu, the Administrator of Jiangxia Commandery. He was defeated in battle by Taishi Ci, a general under Sun Ce. Later, after Liu Biao pacified Changsha Commandery (長沙郡; covering parts of present-day Hunan), he put Liu Pan and Huang Zhong in charge of guarding the commandery. It is not known what happened to him after that. In the 14th-century historical novel "Romance of the Three Kingdoms", Liu Pan later came to serve Liu Bei through Huang Zhong's recommendation.

paragraph: Liu Hu also participated in the Battle of Shaxian against Sun Ce under Huang Zu's leadership. Although many of Liu Biao's subordinates who fought in the battle were reportedly killed in action, it is not known whether Liu Hu was one of them.
