paragraph: Saint Govan

paragraph: Saint Govan () (died 586) was a hermit who lived in a fissure on the side of coastal cliff near Bosherston, in the Pembrokeshire Coast National Park, Wales. St. Govan's Chapel was built in the fissure in the 14th century on what is now known as St. Govan's Head.

paragraph: Section::::Legends.

paragraph: One story says Govan was an Irish monk who travelled to Wales late in life to seek the friends and family of the abbot who had trained him, variously identified as Saint David or Saint Ailbe of Emly. Another story identifies Govan with Gawain, one of King Arthur's Knights of the Round Table; another that he was originally a thief.

paragraph: Govan was set upon by pirates, from Ireland or the nearby Lundy Island. The cliff opened up and left a fissure just big enough for him to hide in until the pirates left. In gratitude, he decided to stay on along the cliff, probably to help warn the locals of the impending pirate attack if they were to return.

paragraph: St Govan lived within a small cave in the fissure of the cliff. This is now reached by a long flight of stone steps, the number of which is said to vary depending on whether one is ascending or descending.

paragraph: The present small vaulted chapel of local limestone was built over the cave and dates from the 13th century although the site may have been of monastic importance since the 5th century. St Govan may be identified with Sir Gwaine, one of King Arthur's knights, who entered into a state of retreat in his later years. Originally St Govan caught fish and took water from two nearby springs. Both are now dry; one was where the medieval chapel now stands, the other, which was lower down the cliff, later became a holy well. A legend says St Govan's hand prints are imprinted on the floor of his cave and his body is buried under the chapel's altar. The cave was once a popular place for making wishes.

paragraph: Section::::Legends.:The Bell Rock.

paragraph: Another legend regarding St Govan concerns his silver bell. He is supposed to have kept the bell in the tower of the chapel. When the bell pealed, its sound was of perfect tone and clarity. But pirates who heard the sound left St Govan desolate when they stole the bell. Angels flew in and took it from the pirates and returned it to the hermit. To stop the pirates returning and taking it again, the angels encased the bell in a huge stone, that is, the Bell Rock which is found at the water's edge. The legend said that when St Govan "rang" the stone, its vigour had become a thousand times stronger.

paragraph: Bartolomeo Fanfulla

paragraph: Bartolomeo Fanfulla's parents, Domenico Alon and Angela Folli, gave him multiple names: Giovanni or Giovanni Battista (in honour of the Evangelical preacher), Bartolomeo (in honour of Bartolomeo Colleoni) and Tito (in honour of the great Roman emperor). Born in the province of Lodi (but for Guicciardini he is allegedly from Parma), Fanfulla almost certainly died 24 February 1525 in the battle of Pavia. He had at least four children (Marc’Antonio, Ambrosio, Giorgio and Domenico) and nine grandchildren.

paragraph: He was first a soldier of fortune, then knight and finally captain of a flag between 1499 and 1525.

paragraph: They say of him:

paragraph: In his life he fought on the side of Florence (1499), Spain (from 1503) and empire (from 1515) having as enemies Pisa (in 1499) and France (from 1503 onwards).

paragraph: Together with Ettore Fieramosca he was the main character of the famous battle of Barletta, which on 13 February 1503 saw thirteen Italian warriors fight against the same number of Frenchmen. Having remained horseless (together with Giovanni Bracalone) during the fight, he fought on foot killing the horses of the French jousters. At the end of the battle, he was knighted by the Spanish potestà (chief magistrate) Consalvo di Cordoba.

paragraph: He is one of the main characters of the novel "Ettore Fieramosca o La disfida di Barletta" (1833), by the politician and man of letters Massimo d'Azeglio, in which the author's phantasy introduces him as an astute, fun and jolly man. The resulting colourful portrait of heroic soldier of fortune gave Fanfulla his fame.

paragraph: Fanfulla is considered one of the symbols of the town of Lodi and of its territory, so much so that a number of local sports clubs take inspiration from his figure: among the most awarded there is the A.S.Ginnastica e Scherma Fanfulla 1874, l'Atletica Fanfulla and the Associazione Calcio Fanfulla 1874. Moreover, the biscuits Amaretti Fanfullini, a typical product of Lodi, owe their name to him.

paragraph: A famous Italian goliardic song from the 20th century has been also dedicated to Fanfulla: "Fanfulla da Lodi".

paragraph: In the city of Lecce, bronze statue of him by the Italian sculptor Antonio Bortone from Ruffano is found in the square Raimondello Orsini.

paragraph: Section::::Battles he took part in.

paragraph: He took part in all the main battles of the 16th century. Always giving proof of his great courage he travelled throughout Italy taking part in:

paragraph: BULLET::::- the siege of Pisa of 1499 (at the side of Paolo Vitelli),

paragraph: BULLET::::- the battle of Cerignola of 1503 (at the service of the Duke of Termoli),

paragraph: BULLET::::- the challenge of Barletta of 13 February 1503,

paragraph: BULLET::::- the battle of Villafranca (1515),

paragraph: BULLET::::- probably also the battle of Pavia of 24 February 1525 (where it is presumed he died).

paragraph: Section::::Famous quotations.

paragraph: They have said of him:

paragraph: BULLET::::- "The warrior svelto di corpo e bizzarro d'ingegno, il cavaliere di ventura ricco d'ardimento, con qualche macchia forse, but certainly fearless and with an enormous carica enorme di simpatia, true symbol of the human and Italian saper vivere" (Massimo D'Azeglio).

paragraph: BULLET::::- "Uomo valoroso. Disprezzava ogni pericolo della vita in battaglia".

paragraph: BULLET::::- "Di animo altero e superbo".

paragraph: BULLET::::- "Despising any danger in the battle" (Paolo Giovio).

paragraph: BULLET::::- "Fanfulla is the unpredictable and unexpected side of a Lodi otherwise known as placid and slow-paced; however, there is vitality, it exists, it manifests itself and it certainly does so in the sports field. That little bit or a lot of Fanfulla, swordsman of good fortune, which still resides in us all citizens of Lodi, must push us to revive sport in Lodi" (Age Bassi, "Lodi fra storia e cronaca, 1919-1945") (Lodi between history and chronicle, 1919-1945).

paragraph: Section::::References in popular culture.

paragraph: Leonardo II Tocco

paragraph: Leonardo II Tocco (1375/76 – 1418/19) was a scion of the Tocco family and lord of Zakynthos, who played an important role as a military leader for his brother, Carlo I Tocco, in early 15th-century western Greece.

paragraph: Section::::Biography.

paragraph: Leonardo was the second son and youngest child of Leonardo I Tocco, the Count palatine of the islands of Cephalonia and Zakynthos and lord of Ithaca and Leucas, and his wife, Maddalena dei Buondelmonti. His older siblings were Carlo I Tocco and Petronila wife of Vernier.

paragraph: Leonardo's father died while he was still an infant, and for the next few years, his mother acted as regent for both her sons. His brother Carlo I gave the island of Zakynthos to him as an appanage in 1399, and Leonardo also received lands in the Principality of Achaea by Prince Pedro de San Superano. Little is known of him otherwise until ca. 1404–1406, when he took part in Carlo's attacks on the Epirote mainland around Arta. Leonardo's and Carlo's exploits over the next decades are the main subject of the "Chronicle of the Tocco". In 1407, Leonardo attacked the new Prince of Achaea, Centurione II Zaccaria, who had seized his fiefs in the Morea in 1404, and conquered Glarentza, the principality's main town.

paragraph: In 1411 Carlo took possession of Ioannina in Epirus following the death of the Despot of Epirus Esau de' Buondelmonti; Leonardo too joined his brother there, and in the same summer he conquered and razed the Albanian-held fortress of Lachanokastron. In the next year, however, he was defeated by the Albanians at Kranea near Mesopotamon. In 1413, warfare between the Tocchi and Centurione Zaccaria resumed, and this time the latter prevailed. Leonardo campaigned against Zaccaria in 1413, but in summer 1414, he was sent by Carlo to Corinth, where the Byzantine emperor Manuel II Palaiologos supervised repairs to the Hexamilion wall. The emperor awarded Leonardo with the high court dignity of "megas konostaulos", but enjoined both brothers to seek peace with Zaccaria. The brothers appealed to Venice, and with her mediation concluded three-year truce was agreed which left Glarentza once again under Achaean control.

paragraph: Carlo now appointed his brother as governor over the Tocco-ruled islands as well as Acarnania with Vonitsa. On 4 October 1416, Leonardo conquered the town of Rogoi. This was followed soon after by the capture of Arta by his brother, and Leonardo was appointed the city's governor. In 1418, he fought against the attacks of the Ottoman Turks, and visited King Ladislaus of Naples. He died soon after at Zakynthos.

paragraph: Section::::Family.

paragraph: The name and identity of Leonardo's wife is unknown, but he had several children:

paragraph: BULLET::::- Carlo II Tocco, who succeeded his uncle Carlo I

paragraph: BULLET::::- Maddalena Tocco, who in 1429 married the Despot of the Morea (and future last Byzantine emperor), Constantine XI Palaiologos

paragraph: BULLET::::- Angelica Tocco, who married Giacomo de Ariano

paragraph: BULLET::::- Creusa Tocco, who married Centurione II Zaccaria

paragraph: Jeanbon Saint-André

paragraph: Jean Bon Saint-André (February 25, 1749December 10, 1813) was a French politician of the Revolutionary era.

paragraph: Section::::Early career and role in the National Convention.

paragraph: He was born in Montauban (Tarn-et-Garonne), the son of a fuller. Although his parents were Protestants, Saint-André was raised by the Jesuits at Marseille, and got baptized, as required by law. As a young boy, Saint-André had ambition to study the law, but his dream was crushed when the King prohibited Protestants and their children from getting involved in much of the public life, including getting the bar. When Saint-André was about sixteen years old, he enrolled in the merchant marine, and became lieutenant several years later and shortly after, captain. In 1771, after three shipwrecks and the loss of all his savings, he abandoned this career. Saint-André later turned Protestant, and became a prominent pastor in Southern France at Castres in 1773, and afterwards in Montauban in 1788. Saint-André studied theology in Geneva for three years, and married Marie de Suc in 1780. Right before the outbreak of the French Revolution, tension between Protestants and Catholics caused Saint-André to flee. During this time, he drafted an article entitled, "Considérations sur l'organisation civile des Eglises protestantes" (Thoughts on the civil organisation of Protestants), which advocated for protecting Protestants' religious rights within France. Saint-André later returned around December, 1790. He then found The Society of the Friends of the Constitution, and started his political career. On November 2, 1792 Saint-André was elected president of the Jacobins.

paragraph: As a member of The Society of the Friends of the Constitution, Saint-André sat on The Mountain, led my Maximilien Robespierre. When Louis XVI of France was found guilty of plotting against the Convention and France, he, along with many members of the Convention, voted for the King's execution. In September 1792, he opposed the punishment of the authors of the September Massacres. In January 1793, Saint-André expressed his ideas in a speech called "Sur l'Education nationale," which demanded a variety of changes to the old Catholic-controlled education system. Later that same year in June, when the Jacobins gained control of the Assembly Saint-André became a member of the Committee of Public Safety, and it was he who proposed Maximilien Robespierre for membership shortly afterwards. In July 1793, Saint-André was elected President of the National Convention, and in his capacity, he announced the death of Marat. That same month, Saint-André was sent on a mission to the Armies of the East fighting in the Revolutionary Wars.

paragraph: While working with the Committee of Public Safety, Jeanbon Saint-André played a pivotal role in the restoration of the naval fleet. He was a former Huguenot pastor and merchant sea captain who was considered the Montagnards’ expert on naval affairs. The Convention granted Saint-André an unlimited amount of power in order to preserve the fleet for the Republic, and to crush all forms of counter-revolutionary opposition.

paragraph: Section::::Reign of Terror.

paragraph: On the Committee of Public Safety, his main responsibility was the navy, which he took over from Bertrand Barère. During Saint-André's time in the Navy, he played a crucial role in dealing with France's foreign affairs, especially toward England. In the late 1700s, Saint-André confronted the English's government for trying to convince the Jews to terminate trading with France. On September 20, 1793, Saint-André obtained a vote of one hundred million francs for constructing vessels; from September 1793 to January 1794, he reorganized the military harbours of Brest and Cherbourg, in the northwestern coast of France. Saint-André noticed striking parallels between the situation in Brest and in the Committee’s occupation of Toulon after its siege in late 1793. Toulon became the stigma of dishonor and treason due to its defection in 1793. The city of Toulon, in revolt against the National Convention, was under British control. The revolt during this time period was a product of British influence over Toulon, as well as royalist ideologies being upheld by those in positions of power in Toulon. The parallels between Toulon and Brest with respect to British influence and revolt against the Republic was striking.

paragraph: In 1793, the Federalist Revolt against the National Assembly in the port city of Brest was partly linked to Jeanbon Saint-André as its citizens viewed the Navy divided between the two major clubs, the Montagnards and the Girondins. He reported that the destruction of the French fleet was a form of conspiracy against the Republic. His theory was clear: the parallels he was observing between the situations at Brest and Toulon were based on the conspiracy of ex-nobles and officers against the Republic, as well as the presence of British influence in both cities. Both problems contributed to the seemingly impossible task set before Saint-André - achieving unity within the French Navy. In response to the Quibéron mutinies, Jeanbon removed Captains Kerguelen, Thomas, Bonnefous, and Larichery from their positions. Saint-André also arrested six more officers, and sent them off to Paris for trial. He later established a Revolutionary Tribunal, which trialled and sentenced the death of ten naval officers. This caused anti-revolutionists, including Oscar Havard, to believe Jeanbon conspired to hand Brest to Britain; Jeanbon's true motives was to bring the downfall of the Navy in response to the dominance of Catholicism in French society.

paragraph: Under Saint-André's command, the Naval regime was reformed in such a way that the “lowest seaman could aspire to the rank of admiral”. He also expressed Jacobin ideas through a policy he created in which all Navy workers received equal benefits and treatments. The Western regions of France became problematic to the Revolution. The physical location of Brittany, a peninsula with poorly paved roads, and specifically Brest, made transport of provisions and travel difficult and time-consuming. Aside from the physical aspects of Brittany’s separation from the rest of the Nation, the gabelle (the salt tax) played a significant role in isolating the Province. This was a zone of the “redimes,” also known as a tax-free zone. Both of these aspects contributed to the separation of Brittany from the rest of the country. Brittany was, however, still of strategic significance to the Committee of Public Safety. The Committee believed that utilizing the city as a seaport for the French fleet would allow them to galvanize a fleet of ships to sail to the nearby southern peninsula of England in order to begin an offensive effort.

paragraph: Saint-André sought to regain control of Brittany by eliminating the easy-going and inattentive eyes of the old regime, emphasizing how “the negligence of a sleepy tyrant or of somnolent ministers does not agree with our [republican] principles.” On November 20, 1793, Saint-André and Jean-Jacques Bréard, another agent of the Committee, issued a decree with a regular naval penal code, a code which was later sanctioned by the Convention and applied to the entire navy.

paragraph: Section::::Downfall of Jacobin and later missions.

paragraph: On 31 January 1794, on his return from Brest, Saint-André presented a report to the Convention on the state of the navy. Saint-André did away with the hierarchical system of the old regime’s navy, stripping officers of their traditional luxuries, such as food privileges, and emphasizing the need for officers to set an obedient example. An education system was also implemented, utilizing Jacobin propaganda and schoolmasters who taught the sailors to read and write so they could aspire to promotion. Saint-André also eliminated holidays, industrializing the coastal city into a system split into day and night shifts enforced by strict military rule. Royalist officers were imprisoned, discipline restored, and a new regime of training introduced across the navy. The officer corps and civilian administration of the navy were brought up to strength. Lighthouses were built at Penmarch and Groix, and new ships of the line were built. These changes sought to turn Brest into an absolute collectivist city, where all was at service to the Republic. Thanks to this reforming zeal, France was able to build and launch new frigates at three times the rate of the Royal Navy during the same period. By 1794, under Saint-André’s watch, fifty ships of the line had been placed into service under the control of the newly appointed fleet commander Villaret de Joyeuse.

paragraph: Contributing to this success was the presence of Jacques-Noël Sané, a renowned ship engineer who built the 130 gun flagship of de Joyeuse known as The Mountain. Though the reformation of the navy has not had as much historical acclaim as the work other Committee members performed on the army, with many critics pointing to its losses in the battle of the Glorious First of June in 1794, the reforms that took place were nonetheless vital in ensuring France’s continued success in war.

paragraph: On February 15, 1794 Saint-André made the red, white, and blue vertical stripes flag the national flag of France. Saint-André later participated in a mission in the south, which lasted from July 1794 to March 1795, and in which he showed moderation in contrast to the directives of the Reign of Terror. Shortly after, he was arrested on May 28, 1795 and imprisoned at the College of Four Nations, but was released by the amnesty of the year IV. During this time, Saint-André wrote about his experiences in the Turkish cells entitled, "Tale of my captivity on the banks of the Black Sea." On July 28, 1794, the Jacobin faction lost support of the crowd and most of its members, most notably Robespierre, were guillotined; the crowd saw that Saint-André had mostly spent his time on mission and had not participated in the decisions made during the Jacobins' control, so he was granted his life. However, with the Jacobin bourgeoisie, he had justified the impediment of the representations of the people, which are the sectional societies: "Our greatest enemies are not outside; we see them: they are in our midst; they want to take revolutionary measures further than we do. "

paragraph: He was then appointed consul at Algiers and Smyrna (1798) and was kept prisoner by the Ottoman Empire for three years (during the Napoleonic Wars). Released in 1801, Saint-André subsequently became préfet of the départment of Mont-Tonnerre (1801) and commissary-general of the three départments on the left bank of the Rhine. Napoleon made him a member of the Légion d'honneur in 1804 and a Baron of the Empire in 1809. He died of typhoid in Mainz.

paragraph: Big Maybelle

paragraph: Mabel Louise Smith (May 1, 1924 – January 23, 1972), known professionally as Big Maybelle, was an American R&B singer. Her 1956 hit single "Candy" received the Grammy Hall of Fame Award in 1999.

paragraph: Section::::Childhood and musical background.

paragraph: Born in Jackson, Tennessee, United States, Big Maybelle sang gospel as a child and by her teens had switched to rhythm and blues. She began her professional career with Dave Clark's Memphis Band in 1936, and also toured with the all female International Sweethearts of Rhythm. She then joined Christine Chatman's Orchestra, and made her first recordings with Chatman in 1944, before recording with the Tiny Bradshaw's Orchestra from 1947 to 1950.

paragraph: Her debut solo recordings, recorded as Mabel Smith, were for King Records in 1947, when she was backed by Oran "Hot Lips" Page, but she had little initial success.

paragraph: Section::::Okeh Records.

paragraph: In 1952 she was signed by Okeh Records, whose record producer Fred Mendelsohn gave her the stage name 'Big Maybelle' because of her loud yet well-toned voice. Her first recording for Okeh, "Gabbin' Blues", was a number 3 hit on the "Billboard" R&B chart, and was followed up by both "Way Back Home" and "My Country Man" in 1953.

paragraph: In 1955 she recorded the song "Whole Lotta Shakin' Goin On", produced by up-and-coming producer Quincy Jones, a full two years before rockabilly then rock and roll singer Jerry Lee Lewis's version. Lewis credited Smith's version as being the inspiration to make his version much more louder, raunchy and raucous, with a driving beat and a spoken section with a come-on that was considered very risque for the time.

paragraph: Section::::Savoy Records.

paragraph: More hits followed throughout the 1950s, particularly after signing with Savoy Records later in 1955, including "Candy" (1956), one of her biggest sellers.

paragraph: During this time, she also appeared on stage at the Apollo Theater in New York City in 1957, and at the 1958 Newport Jazz Festival she sang "All night long/I ain't mad at you", as seen in Bert Stern's celebrated film of the festival "Jazz on a Summer's Day", in which Mahalia Jackson and Dinah Washington also performed.

paragraph: Section::::Career decline.

paragraph: After 1959 she recorded for a variety of labels but the hits largely dried up. She continued to perform into the early 1960s. Her last hit single was in 1967 with a cover of "96 Tears" by Question Mark & the Mysterians.

paragraph: Section::::Death.

paragraph: Smith died in a diabetic coma in 1972, in Cleveland, Ohio. She was survived by her only child Barbara Smith, and 5 grandchildren.

paragraph: Her final album, "Last of Big Maybelle", was released posthumously in 1973.

paragraph: Section::::Legacy.

paragraph: The album "The Okeh Sessions" on the Epic label, won the 1983 W. C. Handy Award, for "Vintage or Reissue Album of the Year (U.S.)."

paragraph: In 2011, she was inducted to the Blues Hall of Fame.

paragraph: Ralph Baker (linebacker)

paragraph: Ralph Robert Baker (born August 25, 1942) is a former professional American football player.

paragraph: Baker was drafted in both the 1964 AFL and NFL drafts—the Pittsburgh Steelers selected him with their 3rd-round pick, while the New York Jets used their 6th-round pick to select him. Baker elected to sign with New York and played linebacker position for 141 games over 11 seasons (1964–1974). This included the Jets' Super Bowl III victory. In 1979, he was hired as Vice Principal of the Chief Logan High School in Mifflin County, Pennsylvania. This period marked a time of trouble within the rebellious student body and, after one year, both Baker and the school's head principal resigned. He retired as principal of Tuscarora Junior High School in Mifflintown, Pennsylvania, in 2010.

paragraph: Baker played college football at Penn State University where he was a member of Sigma Pi fraternity.

paragraph: Brenton Wood

paragraph: Alfred Jesse Smith (born July 26, 1941), better known as Brenton Wood, is an American singer and songwriter known for his two 1967 hit singles, "The Oogum Boogum Song" and "Gimme Little Sign".

paragraph: Section::::Life and career.

paragraph: Wood was born in Shreveport, Louisiana. The family moved to San Pedro in Los Angeles, California when Wood was a child. He attended San Pedro High School for part of his freshman year before moving to Compton, where Brenton became a member of the Compton High School track team and received several awards for his athletic achievements.

paragraph: Following his high school graduation, Wood enrolled in East Los Angeles College. Soon after, he took the stage name Brenton Wood, possibly inspired by the wealthy Los Angeles enclave of Brentwood (some sources state that the name is in honor of his "home county"), with a second possible connection of Bretton Woods. During this period, his musical interests began to manifest themselves. He was inspired by Jesse Belvin and Sam Cooke, and he began cultivating his songwriting skills, also becoming a competent pianist.

paragraph: Early singles for Brent Records and Wand Records failed to chart. Wood signed with Double Shot Records, and his "The Oogum Boogum Song" reached #19 on the US "Billboard" R&B chart and #34 on the "Billboard" Hot 100 in the spring of 1967. In Southern California, "The Oogum Boogum Song" hit the top 10 on KGB-FM and #1 on KHJ. Wood's biggest hit came a few months later, as "Gimme Little Sign" hit #9 on the pop chart, #19 on the R&B charts, #2 on KHJ, and #8 in the UK Singles Chart; sold over one million copies; and was awarded a gold disc. The title is not actually sung in the song; the chorus instead repeats "Give Me Some Kind of Sign". Wood's "Baby You Got It" peaked at #34 on the Hot 100 during the last week of 1967 and #3 on KHJ on 31 January 1968.

paragraph: A true music entrepreneur, in 1972 he formed his own record label and released, co-produced and co-wrote the Funk Soul classic "Sticky Boom Boom To Cold Part I and II" with collaborators George Semper (co-producer, arranger) and Al McKay (co-writer, performer) of Earth, Wind, and Fire fame. Wood recorded a duet with Shirley Goodman. His next song to reach the charts was "Come Softly to Me" in 1977.

paragraph: He returned again in 1986 with the album "Out of the Woodwork", which included contemporary re-recordings of his early hits, along with several new tracks, including the single, "Soothe Me".His album "This Love Is for Real" came out in 2001. Among his later appearances was in 2006 on the Los Angeles public access program "Thee Mr. Duran Show", where Wood and his band performed several of his hit singles.

paragraph: Recently, in 2014, he partnered with William Pilgrim & The All Grows Up for a remake of the song "Gimme Little Sign" on their recently released album, Epic Endings (available on iTunes and Amazon) which came out in August.

paragraph: In 2019, "The Oogum Boogum Song" was used in a commercial for Kinder Joy products.

paragraph: Section::::Cover versions and later versions.

paragraph: "The Oogum Boogum Song" was covered by Alex Chilton. "Gimme Little Sign" was recorded by Danielle Brisebois, who had a hit with it in 1994. "Gimme Little Sign" was recorded by soul singer Ronnie Jones on his 1978 LP, "Me and Myself". It was also recorded by Ricky Nelson. In Singapore, Brown Boys who were from the Philippines, recorded it for release on an EMI single (CHK) in 1968. It was the B-side to "Goin Out Of My Head"/"Can't Take My Eye Off You" medley. The Trailers, who were a Singaporean band also recorded it for release on an RCA EP dubbed their "Soul EP" also in 1968. Los Angeles ska/rocksteady/reggae band, Hepcat, included "Gimme Little Sign" on their "Push 'N Shove" album.

paragraph: Alejandro Otero

paragraph: Alejandro Otero (El Manteco, Bolívar, March 7, 1921 — Caracas, August 13, 1990) was a Venezuelan painter of Geometric abstraction, a sculptor, a writer and a cultural promoter. He was a founding member of the group.

paragraph: Section::::Early life.

paragraph: Alejandro Otero studied art at the "Escuela de Artes Plásticas y Artes Aplicadas de Caracas" from 1939 to 1945. In 1940 he won a prize in the "First Venezuelan Official Art Salon". After his studies, Otero traveled to New York and Paris where he focused his work on a revision of Cubism in 1945, living in Paris until 1952. In 1945 he also went to Washington, D.C., where he exhibited figurative works at the "Pan American Union".He was married to Venezuelan artist Mercedes Pardo in London, 1951. Descendants: Mercedes Otero Pardo, Carolina Otero Pardo, Alejandro Otero Pardo and Gil Otero Pardo

paragraph: Section::::Career.

paragraph: He produced some of his most important pictorial series in Paris, including "Las Cafeteras" ("The Coffee Pots"), painted between 1946 and 1948, which marks his transition from representation to abstraction. Shown at the Museo de Bellas Artes in Caracas in 1949, these paintings caused a critical uproar in culturally conservative Venezuela, which ultimately, helped trigger the emergence of modernist abstraction in Venezuela. This works became well known in 1948 at an exhibition in Washington, D.C. since they served as a transition for Otero to overcome Realism and start a new era for Venezuelan painting.

paragraph: In 1950, Otero traveled in the Netherlands, seeking out the work of Piet Mondrian, an artist who became pivotal for the development of Otero's new series of works, including "Líneas de color sobre fondo blanco" ("Colored Lines on a White Background") of 1951 and "Collages ortogonales" ("Orthogonal Collages") of 1951–52. These latter works, dynamic collages that featured a tight weave of horizontal and vertical bands of multihued paper, show the artist experimenting with the spatial and optical effects of line and color. The idea of the module in Otero's practice first emerged in these works, in which he exhaustively explored a dynamic conception of space and pictorial structure typical of Op Art and Kinetic Art.

paragraph: Drawn back to Caracas, he was invited to participate in the integration of the visual arts into the architectural program of the "Ciudad Universitaria de Caracas", a project directed and promoted by the architect Carlos Raúl Villanueva, and considered the most advanced effort in architecture and urbanism in the country. As part of a large group of Venezuelan and foreign artists (including Hans Arp, Alexander Calder, Fernand Léger, Victor Vasarely, Mateo Manaure, Francisco Narváez, and Jesús Rafael Soto) contributing to the project, Otero realized a series of large-scale public works, including murals, stained glass windows, and "Policromías" ("Polychromies"), facades in glass mosaic.

paragraph: Between 1955 and 1960, he developed the extraordinary series of seventy-five "Colorhythms", one of his major contributions to the field of painting. In 1955, Otero produced his first "Colorhythm". Painted with Duco, a shiny industrial lacquer, applied with spray guns or rollers on wood or Plexiglas, the "Colorhythms" are large-scale immersive compositional modules executed on rectangular supports. Structured by parallel, evenly spaced, dark vertical bands on white grounds, the paintings have color markings placed between the bands, which activate the entire structure of the plane. In these works, Otero succeeded in emphasizing rhythm and color over form, resulting in a suggestive spatial ambiguity typical of Op Art. As a consequence of optical intensity, chromatic vibration, and rhythmic movement, the picture plane seems to expand dynamically outwards. With the "Coloryhthms", Otero proposed an idea of particular importance: the notion of the plane as a spatial field of forces in constant expansion, functioning simultaneously as immersive painting, volume, and architecture.

paragraph: In 1958 Otero was awarded the "National Prize for Painting" in the "Official Salon", and in 1959 he represented Venezuela in the São Paulo Art Biennial, receiving an honourable mention. He is in the collection of The Museum of Modern Art (MoMA) in New York City.

paragraph: In the 1960s he abandoned painting in order to work on a larger scale in his "civic sculptures", such as "Delta Solar". He also produced collages of "objets trouvés", as in "Page Picture No. 1". Towards the end of his life he carried out many monumental public art commissions in many American cities.

paragraph: Ștefan Petică

paragraph: Ștefan Petică (; January 20, 1877–October 17, 1904) was a Romanian Symbolist poet, prose writer, playwright, journalist and socialist activist. Born in the countryside of Tecuci, he early displayed a voracious appetite for literature and philosophy. After high school, he made his way to the national capital Bucharest, where university studies soon gave way to low-paid newspaper work. Petică published one volume of poetry before his premature death, and left his mark as one of the first exponents of the domestic Symbolist movement.

paragraph: Section::::Biography.

paragraph: Section::::Biography.:Origins, education and intellectual influences.

paragraph: Born in Bucești, Galați County, his parents were the free peasants ("răzeși") Ianache and Catinca Petică. He attended primary school in nearby Liești, followed by the D. A. Sturdza gymnasium in Tecuci (1888-1892) and the Nicolae Bălcescu High School in Brăila (1892-1896). Petică obtained his high school degree in Bucharest in 1898. He enrolled at the University of Bucharest's literature and philosophy faculty, but did not graduate due to a lack of funds that led him to become a prolific but poorly paid journalist. Although he was a good science student in high school, he was more interested in literature, gaining fluency in French, German and English and keeping current with contemporary European writers. His reading of foreign authors was done in the original language, the three aforementioned as well as Spanish and Italian; he also acquired some knowledge of Russian. He was also interested in philosophy and sociology, which he read widely and with care. He and a classmate reportedly preferred a study of Herbert Spencer to lunch, and a poem by Walt Whitman to supper.

paragraph: In spite of his perpetual poverty, Petică's omnivorous intellect led him to Greek and Roman classics, a commentary on the Quran, verses by Ferdowsi in German, Copernican astronomy, Spanish romances, Franz Miklosich's study of Romanian philology, Johann Wolfgang von Goethe's aesthetics; works by Wilhelm Wundt, Arthur Schopenhauer, Arthur de Gobineau and Spencer's "First Principles"; the archaeological findings of Johann Joachim Winckelmann and Stefan George's magazine "". Others who entered his radius include Théodore Aubanel, Frédéric Mistral, Stendhal, Ernest Renan, Ugo Foscolo, Fyodor Dostoyevsky, Ivan Turgenev, Leo Tolstoy and Alexander Herzen. His critical references from 1900 to 1903 show that he not only knew Charles Baudelaire, Stéphane Mallarmé, Paul Verlaine, Jean Moréas, Albert Samain, Emile Verhaeren and Maurice Maeterlinck, but was also serious about art history. His commentary used studies of Greek art by Winckelmann and Gotthold Ephraim Lessing, as well as aesthetic arguments by John Ruskin.

paragraph: Section::::Biography.:Socialist militant, poetry and legacy.

paragraph: Petică was an adherent of the socialist movement starting in Brăila in 1893, when he joined the workers' club where Izabela Andrei was very active. His political reading included Spencer, Schopenhauer and Renan, as well as John Stuart Mill, Thomas Carlyle, Pierre Paul Royer-Collard, Victor Cousin and Hippolyte Taine; he carefully summarized his readings of these thinkers on note cards. He carried on a correspondence on socialist topics with Eugeniu Botez, then attending high school in Iași. He published in the socialist newspaper "Munca" from 1894. His journalistic debut was an article there titled "Socialismul la sate" ("Socialism in the Villages"). He also wrote for the socialist "Lumea nouă" from 1896, becoming editor in 1898.

paragraph: Following a split in the movement, he joined the group led by V. A. Urechia, vocally renouncing his former ideas and, between 1898 and 1903, writing a series of articles with anti-socialist declarations. Other publications in which his work appeared include "Apărarea națională", "Depeșa", "Dorobanțul", "Literatorul", "Lumea nouă literară și științifică", "România ilustrată", "România jună" and "Sămănătorul". His first published verse appeared in "Lumea nouă literară și științifică" in 1896; this was the poem "Cântec" ("Song"). He sometimes signed with the pen names Caton, Erics, Mușat, Narcis, Sapho, Senez, Sentino, Sergiu, Step, Stiopca, Ștefan and Trubadur, or with the initials Șt. P. He was editorial secretary of Alexandru Macedonski's "Literatorul" from February to June 1899.

paragraph: He belonged to the Bohemian milieu of Bucharest at the turn of the 20th century and was active in Macedonski's circle. Petică's poems, collected in the 1902 "Fecioara în alb. Când vioarele tăcură. Moartea visurilor", were among the first notable achievements of the Symbolist movement in Romania, striking in their thematic, imagistic and tonal unity. He was also a theoretician of Symbolism, which he knew in its Western European form and which he was able to define convincingly. He also published plays ("Solii păcii", 1900-1901 and "Frații", 1903), leaving behind manuscript plans for over thirty of them. His prose includes both journalism (political and sketches) and delicate and melancholic prose poems that show an authentic sensibility to nature.

paragraph: In 1904, increasingly ill with tuberculosis, he first quit his post as a librarian at the Domains Ministry, then left the capital city altogether. After returning to his parents' home, he died in his native village at the age of 27. The public library in Tecuci has borne his name since 1994.

paragraph: Marion H. Beckett

paragraph: Marion Hasbrouck Beckett (February 7, 1886 – 1949) was an American painter.

paragraph: Section::::Early life and education.

paragraph: Beckett was born in New York on February 7, 1886. Her parents were Charles Henry Beckett, originally from Williamstown, Vermont, and Estelle Josephine (Newman) Beckett of Watkins, New York. She was left with a large fortune following her father's death on November 29, 1917. She was Charles and Estelle's only child in 1917.

paragraph: She exhibited a number of paintings at the Annual Philadelphia Water Color Exhibition in 1908. In 1908, Beckett traveled to Paris with Katharine Rhoades and Malvina Hoffman and studied in France for two years. Rhoades had been her friend since 1904 when Rhoades made her debut in New York City. The family was on the Social Register in New York.

paragraph: Section::::Career.

paragraph: A member of Alfred Stieglitz’s artistic circle in New York City, Beckett was known primarily as a portrait painter. Her "Portrait of Mrs. Charles H. Beckett" and "Portrait of Mrs. Eduard J. Steichen" were exhibited in the 1913 Armory Show. In 1915, Beckett and Rhodes had a joint exhibition at Stieglitz’s 291 Gallery. Prior to that, the only works of a female non-photographer that Stieglitz exhibited were that of Pamela Colman Smith in 1907. Marion Beckett and her friends Katharine Rhoades and Agnes Ernst Meyer were known as the "Three Graces" of 291, an accolade bestowed by Charles Lang Freer.

paragraph: Agnes Ernst Meyer described Marion as one of "the most beautiful young women that ever walked this earth". She was also described as shy and reserved.

paragraph: In January 1917, Beckett presented a show of portraits at Marius de Zayas's Modern Gallery. Among the portraits were one that she made of herself, one of her father, Alfred Stieglitz, and Eugene Meyer. A Beckett portrait of Georgia O'Keeffe, made in 1916, was chosen to illustrate a "Vanity Fair" article in 1922 and a "New York Sun" article about O'Keeffe's work in 1923. It was also the lead portrait of Beckett's show, which also included a portrait of Katharine Rhoades, in New York at Montross Gallery in January 1925.

paragraph: In the 1920s, she was the president and a director of the Beckett Water Supply Company. Estelle Beckett was vice-president and a director.

paragraph: Beckett stopped painting about 1926. Fifteen of her paintings were stored by family members until 1997, including the portraits of O'Keeffe and Agnes Meyers.

paragraph: Section::::Personal life.

paragraph: Beckett often traveled to Voulangis, France with Agnes Meyer and Katharine Rhoades to visit artist Edward Steichen and his wife and paint portraits. She was the sole guest at their house at the beginning of World War I in 1914, when Germans soldiers were advancing towards the town. They were able to evacuate two days before the Germans arrived at the Steichen's house. In 1917, she worked as a canteen worker for the Red Cross in France, and it was during this time period that she is believed to have begun an affair with Steichen.

paragraph: By 1919, Beckett established a studio in the Latin Quarter of Paris, where she entertained Steichen. They were believed to have traveled together from France to New York and Vermont, where her mother lived. In 1919, Clara Steichen sued Marion Beckett for $200,000 damages for "Alienation of affections", claiming that Marion had followed her husband to France and had an affair. Clara was unable to prove her claims. It was reported that Beckett had a ten-year affair with Steichen, until about 1926 when she stopped painting.

paragraph: By 1926, she had an adopted son and daughter. She spent the summers in a house in Williamstown, Vermont and was living in New York City in 1930.
