paragraph: Louis II, Count of Nassau-Weilburg

paragraph: Louis II of Nassau-Weilburg (9 August 1565, Weilburg – 8 November 1627, Saarbrücken) was a count of Nassau-Weilburg.

paragraph: Section::::Life.

paragraph: Louis was the eldest son of Count Albert of Nassau-Weilburg-Ottweiler and Countess Anna of Nassau-Dillenburg. His family moved in 1575 from Weilburg to Ottweiler. After his education, he traveled through Europe, in particular the French-speaking part of Switzerland. He also visited France and princely courts in Germany. During his visit to William IV of Hesse-Kassel, he met William's daughter Anna Maria and fell in love with her. He married her on 4 June 1589.

paragraph: After Albert died on 11 November 1593, the inheritance was divided among his three sons. Louis received the areas Ottweiler, Homburg, Kirchheim and Lahr in the left bank of the Rhine. His brothers William (died: 25 November 1597) and John Casimir (died: 29 March 1602) chose the Weilburg part, which also fell to Louis after they died. Louis also inherited the territories of his uncle Philip IV of Nassau-Saarbrücken (died: 12 March 1602) and John Louis II of Nassau-Wiesbaden (died: 9 June 1605), who was the last of his line. So he ended up combining the entire property of the Walram line in one hand.

paragraph: Louis moved his seat of government to Saarbrücken Castle. He issued a series of regulations, and provided a better education for his population (e.g. through the establishment of the Louis Gymnasium Saarland in Saarbrücken and the promotion of elementary schools. He committed himself to make the Saar navigable and supported many construction projects. Prosperity increased during his reign. However, the Thirty Years' War also began during his reign.

paragraph: He instructed his registrar Johann Andreae to reorganize the Saarbrücken Archives and the painter Henrich Dors from Altweilnau to design tomb for the Nassau family, resulting in a major "epitaph book" being published in 1632.

paragraph: Louis had fourteen children, including four sons who survived him and they divided his inheritance: William Louis, John, Ernest Casimir and Otto.

paragraph: Section::::Marriage and issue.

paragraph: Louis married on 4 June 1589 Anna Maria of Hesse-Kassel (1567–1626), daughter of Landgrave William IV of Hesse-Kassel.

paragraph: Vincent Manago

paragraph: Vincent Manago (1880–1936) was a French painter in the Orientalist style.

paragraph: Section::::Biography.

paragraph: Vincent Manago was born in Toulon in France in 1880. He migrated to North Africa and then to France and painted landscape views and street scenes.

paragraph: Vincent Manago was a very popular painter in Marseille between 1900 and 1913, where his work was shown at the Foire internationale de Marseille and at the Exposition Coloniale des Paysages d'Afrique et de Provence. He specialised in landscape, marine and genre paintings of the Mediterranean coast (Port de Martiques, La Rochelle, Venice) and in Orientalist painting. The latter showed the influence of his stay in Tunisia and Algeria on his art. He used vivid colors in his paintings. As would other Orientalist artists, he also used scenes depicted on postcards as inspiration for his paintings. One such postcard, "Négresse pétrissant la Galette dans la Guessâa" (Collections ND. Phot., Librairie d'Amico, Tunis) was used for his 1903 painting of a street scene of a young woman sorting through grains in a bowl. At least four different versions of this painting were made, one of which is in the Musée des beaux-arts, Marseille.

paragraph: In addition to being a painter, Manago also worked as a decorator of several private residences in Tunis and Alger. His oldest son Dominique Manago, born in Tunis in 1902, also became a painter and so did his youngest son Armand, born in Paris in 1913, who changed his artist name to A.M. Guérin. Vincent Manago lived in Paris until his death on 30 June 1936.

paragraph: Olivier Pain

paragraph: Olivier Pain (born 16 April 1981 in Niort) is a French rally-raid and enduro motorcycle rider, best known for his participation in the Dakar Rally.

paragraph: Section::::Career.

paragraph: Pain made his Dakar Rally debut in 2006, when he finished 28th overall riding a Yamaha before improving to 16th in 2007. He failed to finish the event in 2009, but recorded his first top-ten finish in the Dakar in 2010, finishing the event ninth overall, a result which led to him being signed by Yamaha's official team for the following season. In his first Dakar rally as a factory Yamaha rider in 2011, Pain broke his wrist whilst in contention for a podium finish, preventing him from finishing the rally. Pain repeated his ninth-place finish from two years previously in 2012, and secured a best ever finish of sixth the following year having led the overall classification for four stages before a navigational error on the eighth stage of the rally set him back.

paragraph: After his tenth Dakar in 2016, Olivier Pain took a year off. For the 2018 Dakar, the 40th edition of the rally, he competed again, this time in the "Original" or "privateer" category, not directly supported by a manufacturer or team, and doing all maintenance on his motorcycle himself. In a translated interview on the official Dakar Rally web site, he said, "I have always admired the Dakar drivers without assistance. For me, it's a way to approach the race differently, to find the sensations of a first Dakar! I believe to be the first Elite driver to participate in motorcycle trunk after experiencing the comfort of an official structure. My passion for the rally is intact, I want to enjoy this 40th edition without the pressure of the ranking and reconnect with the origins of this event. I feel like a beginner ... "

paragraph: Outside of the Dakar Rally, Pain has also won the Rally of Tunisia in 2008 and the 450cc category of the world rally-raid cup in 2009.

paragraph: Jan Zumbach

paragraph: Jan Eugeniusz Ludwig Zumbach (14 April 1915, Ursynów, Congress Poland, Russian Empire – 3 January 1986, France) was a Polish-Swiss fighter pilot who became an ace and squadron commander during the Second World War. In the postwar period he became a mercenary in Africa and played a key role in forming the air forces of the breakaway states of Katanga and Biafra.

paragraph: Section::::Early years.

paragraph: The son of Eugeniusz Zumbach and Halina née Gorzechowska from a family of landowners hailing from the region of Płock. Zumbach was registered as a Swiss citizen (his paternal grandfather of Swiss origin settled in Poland at the end of the 19th century). He joined the Polish army in 1935 and served as an infantryman until 1936 when he transferred to the Polish Air Force. After graduating from flying training in 1938 he was posted to "111 Eskadra Myśliwska".

paragraph: Section::::Second World War.

paragraph: Zumbach did not fly during the German invasion of Poland due to a broken leg from a flying accident during the summer of 1939. He returned to his unit only to be evacuated to France via Romania. While in France, Zumbach flew the Morane 406 and Curtiss Hawk 75 with GCII/55. On 10 June, he was one of several pilots shot down by Bf 109s, but escaped unscathed. On 18 June 1940, he travelled to England by boat and on 2 August was posted as one of the founding members of the newly formed No. 303 Polish Fighter Squadron.

paragraph: During the Battle of Britain, Zumbach scored eight confirmed kills and one probable, mostly against Messerschmitt Bf 109 fighters. Zumbach was shot down by a JG 3 Bf 109 over Dover on 9 May 1941 when returning from a mission, but he was again able to bail out unharmed.

paragraph: Zumbach became one of the first Allied pilots to engage in combat with a German Focke-Wulf Fw 190, which he damaged; in return, his aircraft was damaged by a "single radial-engined fighter" on 13 October 1941. In December 1941, Zumbach was posted to 58 OTU, and in March 1942 returned to 303 Sqn as a flight commander. In May, he was promoted to Squadron Leader and took command of the squadron, a post Zumbach held from 19 May 1942 until 30 November 1943.

paragraph: During this period, Zumbach flew three Supermarine Spitfire VBs, carrying the serial numbers BM144, EP594 and EN951. All these aircraft carried the same code, RF-D, "RF" being the squadron code for 303 Sqn and "D" the individual aircraft code. All three aircraft carried a cartoon of Donald Duck on the port side of the fuselage, slightly forward of the cockpit. Zumbach's victory tally was marked with German crosses under the cockpit on the port side; confirmed kills were outlined in white, probable kills in red, and damaged aircraft with no outline.

paragraph: After handing over command of 303 Sqn to Sqn Ldr Bieńkowski, Zumbach spent a year in staff appointments, including the Polish Air Force Staff College. He returned to flying duties as the commander of the 2nd Polish Air Wing, No 133 Wing. On 25 September 1944, he scored his final victory of the war, a probable kill over a JG 26 Fw 190 over Arnhem.

paragraph: On 30 January 1945, Zumbach was posted to HQ, No. 84 Group. While flying an Auster that was used to visit units under the Group's command, he made a navigational error and ran out of fuel. He force-landed in enemy territory and spent the final month of the war as a prisoner of war.

paragraph: Zumbach's final victory tally was 12 (and 2 shared) confirmed kills, five probables and one damaged.

paragraph: Section::::Post-Second World War.

paragraph: Zumbach was demobilised in October 1946 but continued to fly for a living. Under a Swiss passport, he flew contraband around Southern Europe and the Middle East.

paragraph: In January 1962, Zumbach was contracted to organise and command Avikat, the air force of Congolese breakaway state of Katanga, commanding it until December 1962. He went on to deal in second-hand aircraft before again becoming a mercenary in 1967, as he organised and commanded the air force of Biafra, flying the Douglas B-26 Invader, using the "nom de guerre" of John Brown. Operating out of Enugu, he became well-known among the locals. During that time, he also partook in Biafran air force raids, including killing a Nigerian army chief of staff during an attack on Markudi airfield he himself led.

paragraph: In 1975, Zumbach published his autobiography, originally available in French under the title "Mister Brown: Aventures dans le ciel", it was subsequently published in German, English under the title "On Wings of War: My Life as a Pilot Adventurer", and Polish under the title "Ostatnia walka: Moje życie jako lotnika, przemytnika i poszukiwacza przygód." ("The final battle: My life as a pilot, smuggler, and adventurer").

paragraph: Zumbach died in unclear circumstances on 3 January 1986, in France and was buried at Powązki Military Cemetery in Warsaw, Poland. The investigation into his death was closed by order of the French authorities without public explanation.

paragraph: Arnold Schaefer

paragraph: Arnold Dietrich Schaefer (16 October 1819 in Seehausen, today part of Bremen – 19 November 1883 in Bonn) was a German ancient historian, who was a professor of history at the University of Greifswald (1857-1865) and then at the University of Bonn (1865-1883).

paragraph: Section::::Academic background.

paragraph: After attending the from 1833 to 1838, Schaefer studied philology and history at the University of Leipzig. His teachers included Moritz Haupt (1808–1874), Gottfried Hermann (1772–1848) and Wilhelm Wachsmuth (1784-1866). After his graduation, Schaefer initially attempted a habilitation project on Old High German, supervised by Moritz Haupt. Due to a favourable job offer from the educationalist Karl Justus Blochmann (1786–1855) Schaefer was persuaded to relocate to Dresden, where he subsequently taught classes in history and ancient languages at the . Schaefer was already producing a large number of publications at this time, including the school textbook "Commentatio de libro vitarum decem oratorum" ("Commentary on the Book of the Lives of the Ten Orators", 1844) and "Geschichtstabellen zum Auswendiglernen" ("Historical tables for memorisation", 1847), a practical handbook for students, which contained important dates in world history from antiquity to his own day, divided into three sections: general history, epochal history, and cultural history. By 1888 it had been through 17 editions, the last two of which (1885 and 1888) were edited by Schaefer's colleague Julius Asbach.

paragraph: In 1851, Schaefer was appointed to the Gymnasium St. Augustine in Grimma. There he completed the first two volumes of his three volume work "Demosthenes und seine Zeit" ("Demosthenes and his Time", 1856-1858), on which he had been working for ten years. His valedictory speech at the school discussed Demosthenes' "On the Crown".

paragraph: On 30 November 1857, Schaefer became an ordinary professor of history at the University of Greifswald. In his lectures and seminars (for the university's history department, which he founded in 1863), Schaefer dealt with all periods and fields of history, but with a focus on Roman history and the modern history of Prussia. He maintained friendly links with colleagues in various fields, including the economist , the archaeologist Adolf Michaelis, and the philologists Martin Hertz, Georg Friedrich Schömann, and Hermann Usener. He refused a post at the University of Königsberg in 1863, to fill the vacancy left by Wilhelm von Giesebrecht's departure.

paragraph: In the summer of 1865, Schaefer moved to the University of Bonn, where he held the Chair of History until his death in 1883. The faculty of history was established at the same time; before this all professors of history had been part of the philology faculty. In the academic year 1871/72, Schaefer served as rector of the university.

paragraph: In Bonn, Schaefer continued his lectures from Greidswald. Source criticism of Greek and Roman historical texts formed an important part of his lessons, forming the foundations for his publication in 1867 of "Abriß der Quellenkunde der griechischen Geschichte bis auf Polybios" ("Outline of Source Criticism of Greek History up to Polybios"). A second volume of the work was published shortly before his death under the title "Abriß der Quellenkunde der griechischen und römischen Geschichte" ("Outline of Source Criticism of Greek and Roman History", 1883). His successor, Heinrich Nissen produced a second edition of this work in 1885, which itself received a second printing in 1867.

paragraph: The studies of Prussian history which Schaefer had begun in Greifswald intensified in Bonn. He published the "Geschichte des siebenjährigen Kriegs" (History of the Seven Years' War) in three volumes between 1867 and 1874. The work was praised by the domestic and foreign press for his novel depiction of the operations. Shortly after the publication of the final volume, Schaefer undertook an extended educational tour of Greece, Asia Minor, Syria, and Italy. In 1879, he visited Rome for the celebrations of the fiftieth anniversary of the German Archaeological Institute there, and in 1880 he visited the Peloponnese, spending a great deal of time in Olympia. On the return journey he was struck by a severe bout of rheumatism, from which he recovered by a trip to a health spa. A few weeks after his return from the health spa, on 19 November 1883, Schaefer unexpectedly died at work from a stroke. His grave is in the Alter Friedhof.

paragraph: In his final years, Schaefer had been working on a new edition of his work on Demosthenes, to take account of the numerous papyrus finds and textual emendations that had occurred in the thirty years since the publication of the original work. The work was completed by Max Hoffmann and it appeared in three volumes, shortly after his death (1885-1887).

paragraph: In 1894, Schaefer's widow, Eugenie Schaefer née Großmann (daughter of the theologian Christian Gottlob Großmann) donated 100,000 marks to found the "Arnold-Schäfer-Fund" to support students and young scholars at the University of Bonn, which is still active today.

paragraph: David Bakhtiari

paragraph: David Afrasiab Assad Bakhtiari (born September 30, 1991) is an American football offensive tackle for the Green Bay Packers of the National Football League (NFL). He played college football at Colorado, and was drafted by the Packers in the fourth round of the 2013 NFL Draft.

paragraph: Section::::Early years.

paragraph: Bakhtiari was born in San Mateo, California. His older brother Eric Bakhtiari went on to play defensive end at the University of San Diego and for the Tennessee Titans. His father, Karl Bakhtiari, runs a real estate business in California. He is of Iranian and Icelandic descent.

paragraph: He attended Junípero Serra High School in San Mateo, California, where he lettered two years in football and lacrosse, being named a team captain during his sophomore year. The most memorable game of his high school career in football came against Sacred Heart Cathedral Preparatory, in which he held future USC Trojan Kevin Greene to no sacks and only allowed two tackles. In another game later in the season he had at least eight pancake blocks. He was named Honorable Mention All-West Catholic Athletic League, All-Metro (Bay Area), and All-San Mateo County as a senior when he helped lead his team to a 6–1 league record, winning the 2008 WCAL Co-Championship with Bellarmine College Preparatory, and made it to the CIF-CCS Open Division Semi-Finals, where they lost to the eventual champion Bellarmine Bells. He was also listed in the Bay Area News Group as number eight out of 25 players from northern California on their 2008 Cream of the Crop team.

paragraph: Coming out of high school, Bakhtiari was six-feet-four-inches tall and weighed 266 pounds and was ranked only as a two-star prospect by Rivals.com. In a 2009 interview Bakhtiari commented: "People come up to me and go, 'Oh, you're only a two-star'. But I don't really care what my ranking is. All that matters is how you do when you put on the pads." He received interest from several schools, receiving offers and visiting Colorado, Utah, UTEP, and Washington before signing his letter of intent with Colorado.

paragraph: Section::::College career.

paragraph: Bakhtiari decided to play for the University of Colorado, and majored in Communications while playing for the Colorado Buffaloes football team from 2009 to 2012. He redshirted as a true freshman in 2009.

paragraph: During his first year on the field for the Buffaloes, he played in all twelve games, starting eleven. The one game he did not start was against Texas Tech, but he still was on the field for 24 snaps. He played the third-most snaps on the offense behind future New England Patriots and New York Giants offensive lineman Nate Solder and future Denver Broncos offensive lineman Ryan Miller with 796. Bakhtiari had 59 knockdown blocks which was fourth on the team, his highest number coming against Iowa State. He allowed one quarterback sack and seven pressures and was flagged for six penalties. During the game against Kansas that year he recovered an offensive fumble and returned it seven yards. For his efforts, he was named as an honorable mention for Freshman All-American honors by collegefootballnews.com. He was also a member of the All-Big 12 second-team for Academics.

paragraph: Bakhtiari began his redshirt sophomore campaign by suffering a severe injury to his knee in the season opener against Hawai’i on the seventh play of the game. He missed the next two games against California and LSU. Regardless, he still started the remaining games (11 total). He allowed two sacks on the year and was flagged once the entire season. At the end of the year, he was named as a member to the All-Pac-12 second team by the league's coaches and Phil Steele.

paragraph: Before his final season started, Bakhtiari was named to the preseason first-team All-Pac-12 squad. He started eleven games at left tackle, missing the game against Oregon with a knee sprain after attempting to play in the pre-game. He totaled 41 pancake blocks, and allowed 2.5 quarterback sacks and one pressure. His efforts gained him a spot on the watchlist for the Outland Trophy, and the Rotary Lombardi Award. Additionally, he earned second-team honors by the league coaches for the second year in a row.

paragraph: On January 8, 2013, Bakhtiari announced that he had opted to forgo his senior season at Colorado and declare for the 2013 NFL Draft. He added that his declaration for the draft had nothing to do with Colorado's 1–11 season the year before and subsequent firing of head coach Jon Embree. Mike Macintyre, the new head coach of Colorado, said that the team would have loved to have him but would fully support him in his endeavors.

paragraph: Section::::Professional career.

paragraph: After declaring for the NFL Draft, Bakhtiari has stated he received a second or third round evaluation from NFL Draft Advisory Board.

paragraph: The Green Bay Packers selected Bakhtiari in the fourth round, (109th overall) of the 2013 NFL Draft. He was the ninth offensive tackle drafted and the first of two the Green Bay Packers drafted ahead of fourth round pick J. C. Tretter (122nd overall).

paragraph: During the Packers' 'Family Night' inter squad scrimmage later in training camp, starting left tackle Bryan Bulaga succumbed to a torn ACL injury. Due to the injury and Bakhtiari's play during training camp, he was inserted as the starting left tackle in the Packers first preseason game against the Arizona Cardinals at Lambeau Field. Though they lost, it was later noted that one of the positives to take away was the steady play of the rookies. He later went on to start every game at left tackle for the Packers, becoming the first rookie to do so in Green Bay since the start of the 16-game schedule employed by the NFL since 1978 and the only NFL rookie to start every game that season at left tackle in 2013. He was a key contributor to Green Bay finishing seventh in the league for rushing (blocking for rookie running back Eddie Lacy) and sixth in passing for the first time since 2004.

paragraph: Following his rookie season, Bakhtiari worked significantly on his strength and continued to fight for his job at left tackle, prompting the Packers to move Bryan Bulaga to right tackle and have Bakhtiari at left. Later in the current Packers season, he was placed on the injury report for the game against the Miami Dolphins due to a back injury. He played in all 16 games of his sophomore season as well as the 2 playoff games.

paragraph: On September 13, 2016, the Green Bay Packers signed Bakhtiari to a four-year, $48 million contract extension that includes $16.7 million guaranteed and a $15 million signing bonus.

paragraph: Bakhtiari was ranked 91st by his peers on the NFL Top 100 Players of 2018.

paragraph: Section::::Personal life.

paragraph: Bakhtiari resides in Burlingame, California. While in high school, he created the Fund a Dream Scholarship, and also signed autographs at the Jerry Parins Cruse for Cancer in exchange for donations benefiting cancer research. He also visited homeless shelters and nursing homes while attending the University of Colorado.

paragraph: Bakhtiari introduced the Packers to the board game Settlers of Catan which soon became a team favorite. He was also responsible for a group of Packers players appearing in "Pitch Perfect 2", when he reached out to director Elizabeth Banks on Twitter.

paragraph: Tim Kasher

paragraph: Timothy J. Kasher (born August 19, 1974) is a musician from Omaha, Nebraska, and is the frontman of indie rock groups Cursive and The Good Life, both of which are on the Omaha-based record label Saddle Creek Records.

paragraph: Section::::Music.

paragraph: Section::::Music.:Slowdown Virginia.

paragraph: Slowdown Virginia was formed in Omaha in 1993 by Kasher with Matt Maginn, Steve Pederson, and Casey Caniglia after the dissolution of a previous band called The March Hares. With a sound described as a heartland Pavement and into the Pixies, Slowdown Virginia recorded and released one album, "Dead Space", on Lumberjack Records, with the help of funding from friends. The band was short lived, breaking up in 1995, but it inspired other bands to form in Omaha like The Faint and Bright Eyes, the formation of Saddle Creek Records out of Lumberjack Records, and the name of Omaha's indie music venue, Slowdown.

paragraph: Section::::Music.:Cursive.

paragraph: Kasher, Maginn, and Pederson formed a new band, Cursive, in 1995, adding Clint Schnase to the band. The bands released two albums, described as full of emotion and distortion, before disbanding in 1998 as Kasher moved to Portland, Oregon after getting married. Kasher also spent some of this time playing guitar in Commander Venus, recording and releasing two albums. Pederson left Omaha to study law at Duke University in North Carolina shortly afterward.

paragraph: Kasher's marriage and time away from Omaha didn't last long; he returned within eighteen months of leaving Cursive and Omaha. With Pederson away, Kasher recruited Ted Stevens to join the previous other band members. The re-formed Cursive soon recorded and released their third album, "Domestica," at Presto! Studios in Omaha, using the stock room of the USA Baby store where Kasher worked as the band's practice space. "Domestica" showed this version of Cursive to have a tight-knit, hard-rock sound with the addition of Stevens as well as Kasher's newfound focus on introspective, storytelling focused lyrics. Cursive added cellist Gretta Cohn for the next several releases and the band, and Kasher's writing, found critical success with 2003's "The Ugly Organ", a "gale force" of "personal indigence."

paragraph: Cohn departed Cursive in 2005, and the band continued on without a cellist. Cursive has subsequently recorded and released three more studio albums, also concept albums - a style that Kasher began loosely with "The Storms of Early Summer: Semantics of Song" and developed full-blown with "Domestica". Cursive's last release was "I Am Gemini" in 2012.

paragraph: Section::::Music.:The Good Life.

paragraph: The Good Life was originally planned to be a solo project. Kasher wanted to experiment with different types of lyrics and melodies. He released "Novena on a Nocturn" under the name The Good Life on Better Looking Records in 2000, five months after Cursive's "Domestica". "Novena on a Nocturn" touched on the same themes of "Domestica", mainly ones of divorce and loss, and was noted in reviews for Kashers intense focus on his lyrics and personal storytelling. 2002's "Black Out" was also a mostly solo effort with friends assisting in the recording, and was released on Saddle Creek Records. As with "Novena", the album was noted for its focus on melodies and lyrics, with Dan Ocean of "Punk News" describing the sound as "a slower paced Cursive with some electronica and an abundance of hooks."

paragraph: After using The Good Life as essentially a side project, Kasher decided to make The Good Life a full-fledged band. Kasher recruited Ryan Fox, Roger Lewis, and Stefanie Drootin-Senseney and released "Album of the Year" in 2004. Despite his intention to make The Good Life a band in its own right, Kasher still retained most creative control over the band for much of "Album of the Year" and similarly for 2007's "Help Wanted Nights", described by "Pitchfork"'s Eric Harvey as "two consecutive concept albums dealing with boozers and their second homes."

paragraph: The Good Life took a break after 2007. Kasher released two albums with Cursive and two solo albums before reconvening The Good Life in late 2013. This time Kasher approached The Good Life with recording the album as a band, with all members contributing to the process of writing the songs. The result was the rock-oriented "Everybody's Coming Down", released in September 2015.

paragraph: Section::::Music.:Solo work.

paragraph: His first solo album, "The Game of Monogamy", was released to mixed reviews on October 5, 2010 on Saddle Creek Records. Written after Kasher moved from Los Angeles to Montana, Kasher's first truly solo work was noted for its lyricism and instrumentation but also for again repeating on the themes of a broken romance that dominated early releases by The Good Life and Cursive's "Domestica". Chris Parker from "Alternative Press" called the album "overture to middle age and the declining allure of the bars and hook-ups scene." The follow-up EP, "", was released in August 2011. "Bigamy" continues the same themes as "Monogamy" with seven additional songs.

paragraph: "Adult Film", Kasher's second solo album, was released on Saddle Creek Records in 2013. Featuring a more reserved vocal style and stripped-down instrumentation as compared to "The Game of Monogamy", "Adult Film"'s topic touch on mistrust, anxiety, and the fears of adult life.

paragraph: Section::::Musical style and influences.

paragraph: "Pitchfork"'s Taylor Clark once described Kasher's singing as "perhaps the worst great voice in indie rock," noting his lack of ease in singing with a range and a deficiency in enunciation. His voice is commonly recognized as a signature part of Cursive's sound. Kasher's songwriting receives similar attention, particularly 2003's "The Ugly Organ", which took an introspective meta view on the songwriting process itself. For his part, Kasher has said that a lot of the inspiration for grand visions for his solo albums came from David Bowie. Kasher cites Bowie for helping him to "wake me up to, well, you can do whatever you want. I mean, you’re doing a solo record. You can go in absolutely any direction." Even prior to this, Kasher's writing for albums moved more and more towards a screenplay style of writing, to the point of the lyric sheet for "I Am Gemini" being described as one reviewer as "a full-blown "libretto"."

paragraph: Section::::Personal life.

paragraph: In 2007, Kasher moved from Omaha to Los Angeles, California. While also working on new music with both Cursive and The Good Life, Kasher has recently taken up writing screenplays. In the fall of 2009, Kasher relocated to Montana to focus more explicitly on his writing, now he's living in California.

paragraph: Possesses an undergraduate degree in English, with a minor in Philosophy.

paragraph: Has stated that if he was not pursuing music full-time, he would have become an English professor, teaching writing or literature.

paragraph: Youngest of 6 children, with 4 older sisters and 1 older brother.

paragraph: In 2015 Kasher married his long-term girlfriend Gwynedd, the editor of LA Weekly.

paragraph: He's currently living in Los Angeles, California.

paragraph: Red Holloway

paragraph: James Wesley "Red" Holloway (May 31, 1927 – February 25, 2012) was an American jazz saxophonist.

paragraph: Section::::Biography.

paragraph: Born in Helena, Arkansas, Holloway started playing banjo and harmonica, switching to tenor saxophone when he was 12 years old. He graduated from DuSable High School, where he had played in the school big band with Johnny Griffin and Eugene Wright, and attended the Conservatory of Music, Chicago. He joined the Army when he was 19 and became bandmaster for the U.S. Fifth Army Band, and after completing his military service returned to Chicago and played with Yusef Lateef and Dexter Gordon, among others. In 1948 he joined blues vocalist Roosevelt Sykes, and later played with other rhythm & blues musicians such as Willie Dixon, Junior Parker, and Lloyd Price.

paragraph: In the 1950s he played in the Chicago area with Billie Holiday, Muddy Waters, Chuck Berry, Ben Webster, Jimmy Rushing, Arthur Prysock, Dakota Staton, Eddie "Cleanhead" Vinson, Wardell Gray, Sonny Rollins, Red Rodney, Lester Young, Joe Williams, Redd Foxx, B.B. King, Bobby Bland, and Aretha Franklin. During this period, he also toured with Sonny Stitt, Memphis Slim and Lionel Hampton. He became a member of the house band for Chance Records in 1952. He subsequently appeared on many recording sessions for the Chicago-based independents Parrot, United and States, and Vee-Jay.

paragraph: From 1963 to 1966, he was in organist "Brother" Jack McDuff's band, which also featured a young guitarist, George Benson. In 1974, Holloway recorded "The Latest Edition" with John Mayall and toured Europe, Japan, Australia and New Zealand. From 1977 to 1982, Holloway worked with Sonny Stitt, recording two albums together, and following Stitt's death, Holloway played and recorded with Clark Terry.

paragraph: Red Holloway died in Morro Bay, California, aged 84 of a stroke and kidney failure on February 25, 2012, one month after Etta James, with whom he had worked extensively. His interment is at Forest Lawn Memorial Park in the Hollywood Hills of Los Angeles.

paragraph: Leo Tornikios

paragraph: Leo Tornikios () was a mid-11th century Byzantine general and noble. In 1047, he rebelled against his uncle, the Byzantine Emperor, Constantine IX Monomachos (). He raised an army in Thrace and marched on the capital, Constantinople, which he besieged. After two failed assaults he withdrew, his army deserted him and he was captured. At Christmas 1047, he was blinded and no more is known of him.

paragraph: Section::::Biography.

paragraph: Leo Tornikios was born in Adrianople, the scion of the noted noble Armenian or Georgian family of Tonikios. His contemporary, Michael Psellos, describes him as "short, crafty, proud and ambitious". According to Psellos, "he reeked of Macedonian arrogance".

paragraph: Although favoured by his uncle, Constantine IX, Tornikios soon came to support the Emperor's sister, Euprepia, who opposed the Emperor's policies and frequently compared him favourably with the Emperor. He was named "patrikios" and military commander ("doux") of a province on the eastern frontier of Byzantine territory. This was either Melitene according to Michael Attaleiates, or Iberia according to Psellos. During Leo's tenure in the east, a revolt broke out in the army in Thrace, which had its headquarters at Adrianople, west of the capital, Constantinople. Fearful of Tornikios' popularity among the military aristocracy, Constantine swiftly recalled him to Constantinople, where he was tonsured but otherwise left free.

paragraph: Section::::Biography.:Rebellion and siege of Constantinople.

paragraph: Taking advantage of this freedom, he fled the capital to Adrianople on September14, 1047, delaying pursuit by slaughtering the horses at each post station. In Adrianople he gathered supporters, including a number of disgruntled generals. He claimed that Constantine was dead and offered to lead them. The army proclaimed him emperor, its commanders raising him on a shield in the traditional manner. They then marched against the capital and set up camp opposite the walls of Constantinople on September25, 1047.

paragraph: The Byzantine bureaucracy distrusted the military aristocracy and had been systematically undermining it, for example removing the day-to-day running of the military forces of each province from the traditionally aristocratic "strategoi" and giving it to the civil magistrates ("praetors"). Emperor Constantine belonged to this bureaucratic faction, and had been actively reducing the size of the army during the five years since he had come to the throne. This was a major cause of the unrest in Thrace and of Tornikios' own dissatisfaction. More importantly, this infighting had devastated the army's effectiveness. The nearest useful, loyal military force was the army of Anatolia, posted to Iberia to guard the frontier. Constantine was therefore forced to rely on Saracen mercenaries, civilians and paroled convicts to defend the city.

paragraph: A force of armed citizens sallied out to meet Tornikios but was easily defeated. This spread panic among the capital's defenders, who abandoned their posts on the walls and their gates. Tornikios, however, instead of storming the unmanned walls, hesitated. Contemporary historian, Psellus, wrote: "He was confidently awaiting our invitation to assume the throne: he assumed that he would be led to the palace by flaming torches, in a procession worthy of a sovereign." Modern historian Norwich speculates: "Perhaps he wanted to spare a city he believed soon to be his from pillage". Whatever his reasons, he lost his opportunity to take the city, for that night, Emperor Constantine managed to restore order and re-occupy the walls, to await the arrival of the Anatolian army. The next morning, Constantine, dressed in full imperial regalia, installed himself in a position where all of the besieging army could see him, giving the lie to Tornikios' claim that he was dead.

paragraph: The siege lasted from September25 to 28. Two assaults by Tornikios' men were turned back by the defenders on the walls under the personal leadership of Emperor Constantine, who, despite suffering from severe gout and arthritis, and having no military experience, showed courage and energy in defence of the city. On one occasion an arrow struck and killed a lieutenant standing by his side and his attendants pulled him away. Following the failure of their assaults Tornikios' men were disillusioned, having expected an easy victory. Constantine sent agents to their camps to bribe them to desert, and they met with some success. In desperation Tornikios approached the walls himself to appeal directly to the defenders. He was met by a hail of missiles. Thwarted, he withdrew his army westwards in early October.

paragraph: Section::::Biography.:Defeat.

paragraph: Hoping to retrieve the situation, he attacked the town of Rhaidestos but was again repulsed. At this point many of his remaining followers deserted. The army of Anatolia arrived at Constantinople and set out in pursuit, causing his few remaining supporters to abandon him. By the time he was run to ground at a church in Boulgarophygon, he had a single adherent, a minor noble named John Vatatzes. Tornikios attempted to claim sanctuary, but was lured out of the church and captured.

paragraph: At Christmas 1047, in Constantinople, he suffered the traditional fate of Byzantine rebels and was publicly blinded, along with Vatatzes. Nothing further is known about him.

paragraph: Section::::Consequences.

paragraph: The revolt weakened Byzantine defences in the Balkans and, in 1048, the area was raided by the Pechenegs, who continued to plunder it for the next five years. While the Anatolian army was away from the eastern frontier, the neighbouring Seljuk Turks took advantage to launch a large scale raid into Byzantine Armenia. Unopposed, they captured Artze, "a city of 800 churches and immense wealth". Its ruthless sack is evidenced by contemporary reports of 150,000 dead. This was the first major, successful Turkish raid into eastern Byzantine territory. They subsequently became nearly annual events, culminating 24 years later in the disaster of Manzikert, when the Byzantine army was crushed and the Emperor captured.

paragraph: Grete Prytz Kittelsen

paragraph: Grete Prytz Kittelsen (born Adelgunde Margrethe Prytz, June 28, 1917, Oslo, died September 25, 2010, Oslo), was a Norwegian goldsmith, enamel artist, and designer. She is one of the most well-known Norwegians in the Scandinavian Design movement, and has been referred to as the "Queen of Scandinavian Design". Through her work she contributed to internationalisation, innovation and scientific research. She was one of the few Norwegian practitioners who shaped the Scandinavian design style in the post-war era and is the periods’ most renowned Norwegian practitioner. Kittelsen's aim was to make beautiful and user-friendly everyday objects available for everyone. She had a vast and varied production. With her enamelled objects and jewelry she has been a pioneer in design in the post-war era and a model for the next generation of designers. Today her pieces constitute design icons and are sought-after collectables.

paragraph: Section::::Early life.

paragraph: Kittelsen was born in 1917 in Kristiania to Ingerid Juel and Jakob Prytz, who was a goldsmith, and rector of the Norwegian National Academy of Craft and Art Industry (proper title: The National Academy of Art, Crafts and Design, now Oslo National Academy of the Arts). She was the sister of Torolf Prytz jr. and constituted the fifth generation of the goldsmith firm J. Tostrup. The family was internationally oriented, and the firm had since its establishment in 1832 had an international profile. The founder of the firm, Jacob Ulrich Holfeldt Tostrup, had studied in Copenhagen and St. Petersburg. His son Oluf Tostrup worked for a rational connection between art, crafts and industry, and was one of the driving forces when the Museum of Applied Art in Oslo was founded in 1876. Her father Jacob Prytz was director of the family firm, co-founder of Foreningen Brukskunst (The Applied Art Association) and a leading figure i the renewal of Norwegian fine crafts and design in the era between the wars. Prytz' and Juel's residence was often home to students and foreign lecturers of the academy, among them Alvar Aalto and Gregor Paulsson.

paragraph: After receiving examen artium in 1935, Kittelsen began studying goldsmithing at the The National Academy of Art, Crafts and Design. She received her diploma in 1941, after which she worked for J. Tostrup.

paragraph: In April 1945 she married Arne Korsmo, architect and professor at the Norwegian Institute of Technology. They divorced after 15 years.

paragraph: During the second world war she had to flee to Stockholm due to her underground work. There she and her husband, Arne Korsmo, were acquainted with the Danish architects Jørn and Lis Utzon, and they established a life-long friendship.

paragraph: Section::::Post-war years.

paragraph: After World War II Kittelsen moved back to Oslo and worked for the family business. She designed numerous works of silver, vitreous enamel and plastic, sometimes collaborating with her husband, Arne Korsmo. Kittelsen pioneered the use of large-scale manufacturing methods utilized by later industrial designers. As recipient of a Fulbright grant, Kittelsen lived in the United States in 1949 and 1950, where she studied at the IIT Institute of Design. Kittelsen and her husband, Arne Korsmo, traveled around the US and Mexico and met with other designers and architects, such as Frank Lloyd Wright, Ray and Charles Eames, Ludwig Mies van der Rohe, Walter Gropius, James Prestini, and Edgar Kaufmann Jr., who was the director of the Industrial Design Department at the Museum of Modern Art (MOMA) in New York City. Edgar Kaufmann Jr. had visited Norway a year prior to Kittelsens travels in the US, and was then shown a plate by Kittelsen. The plate was later exhibited in MoMA. Through their travels, Kittelsen and her husband acquired a network consisting of the most prominent practitioners of the time. This made it possible to show the exhibition American Form and to arrange a seminar in industrial design at the National Academy of Art, Crafts and Design with teachers from Illinois Institute of Technology. The seminar was groundbreaking for the renewal of the contents and pedagogical methods of the school.

paragraph: As one of the leading artists of the Scandinavian Design movement, Kittelsen received several awards and honors in the 1950s, including the Lunning Prize in 1952. At the initiative of Grete Prytz Kittelsen Norway was for the first time represented at the trendsetting Triennale di Milano in 1954. Here she was awarded with a Grand Prix for a large tray in enameled silver. Later she achieved several awards at the Triennale.

paragraph: From 1954 to 1957 she participated in the "Design in Scandinavia" exhibition, shown in several places in the United States and Canada. Near the end of the 50s, her products, manufactured by Hadeland Glassverk and Cathrineholm, were commonly found in Norwegian homes. "Sensasjonskasserollen" (lit. "The sensation casserole") was particularly successful, with 150,000 units sold in 1964. Her designs were often inspired by American art, characterized by clear, plain colors and simple shapes. Kittelsen also designed informal, inexpensive jewelry made from silver and vitreous enamel.

paragraph: Her foreign visits after travelling in the US were mainly linked to participation at exhibitions and conferences, often related to her engagement in the World Crafts Council (WCC), of which she was a co-founder and board member.

paragraph: In 1971 she married Sverre (Loe) Kittelsen. They divorced in 2002.

paragraph: Grete Prytz Kittelsen died at age 93 in Oslo 25 September 2010.

paragraph: Section::::Works.

paragraph: After the second World War Grete Prytz Kittelsen was commissioned to renew a range of products in the family firm Tostrup, which she did in cooperation with Arne Korsmo. They created several new objects for use in the home that were adapted to new production methods and a more informal life style. An example is the cutlery Korsmo from 1954, which consisted of relatively few parts, and was simple to produce by the help of a few working tools. Additionally she designed jewelry inspired by abstract art of the same era. Many of them were manufactured in a particularly rational way.

paragraph: In 1957–1958 – in cooperation with Paolo Venini, owner and director of the Venini Glass Works in Murano – she developed jewelry in glass and silver that are considered among her most outstanding works.

paragraph: From the end of the 1950s she worked as a designer for the Cathrineholm factory in Halden. They built up a collection of objects in enamelled steel that became very popular.

paragraph: In addition, Prytz Kittelsen was active in scientific research. In 1950 she initiated a cooperation between The Central Institute of Research at the University of Oslo and Hadeland Glasswork in order to develop new, more affordable types of enamel. Her experiments in form, technique and materials constituted a kind of artistic and practical research.

paragraph: Section::::Impact and honors.

paragraph: Grete Prytz Kittelsen had grown up with the ideals of the modern design movement, where simple and beautiful everyday objects should be made available for everybody. This, together with a strong technical interest and practical skill, became significant of her work. Both technically and formally her pieces were characterized by an ability to experiment and a modernity that made them original even in an international setting.

paragraph: Kittelsen was made a Knight, First Class, of the Royal Norwegian Order of St. Olav in 1986. In 2008 she was honored with a large exhibition in the National Museum of Art, Architecture and Design, showcasing 360 of her works, accompanied by a book, "Grete Prytz Kittelsen: Emalje og design", published by Gyldendal. She was awarded the Prince Eugen Medal the same year.
