paragraph: Newt Perry

paragraph: Newton A. Perry (January 6, 1908 – November 22, 1987) was an American swimmer, attraction promoter, educator and swimming coach.

paragraph: Section::::Early life.

paragraph: Perry was born in Valdosta, Georgia in 1908. After living in Tampa for several years, he and his family moved to the Ocala, Florida area in 1922. His father was a railroad conductor, and Ocala represented the midpoint of his train route. Perry was happy to discover that he could swim in the clean, clear water at Silver Springs, and he would walk the six miles from Ocala to the springs. In order to earn pocket change, he started teaching local residents to swim for twenty-five cents per lesson. In 1924, Perry became Ocala High School's swim coach and star swimmer; he was only 16 years old at the time. He once swam 25 miles in seven hours, 28 minutes.

paragraph: Perry attended the University of Florida in nearby Gainesville, and was a member of the Florida Gators swimming and diving team in 1933 and 1934. He graduated from the university with a bachelor's degree in education, and later returned to complete a master's degree in education in 1958.

paragraph: Section::::Career.

paragraph: Perry learned all he could about swimming, diving and life-guarding. When the American Red Cross published their aquatics safety manual during the 1920s, they selected Silver Springs to shoot the underwater photographs for their manuals. Perry served as the model in many of the Red Cross manual photographs.

paragraph: Silver Springs in the 1920s and 1930s was not that well known and the attraction owners, Carl G. Ray, Sr. and W. M. "Shorty" Davidson, would invite journalists from all over the country to come visit their attraction. Perry and his sisters would put on swimming exhibitions both the water's surface and under it. Some of those snapshots would appear in newspapers in Atlanta, Washington, D.C., New York, Jacksonville, Tampa, and other large cities. "Life" magazine published several articles on Silver Springs and the Perry family.

paragraph: Ray and Davidson invited American sportswriter and short movie producer, Grantland Rice, to vacation in the Ocala area and to be their guest on a tour of Silver Springs. While Rice was visiting the springs, he witnessed the aquatic abilities of Perry and was interested in what he saw. Rice set up his motion picture cameras to record the interesting footage of the swimmer both on the surface and under the surface of the water. Perry demonstrated his powerful freestyle up stream and then dove underwater to perform swimming backwards, somersaults, eating a banana, drinking a soda and other unusual underwater skills. He had stayed underwater for three minutes and 45 seconds.

paragraph: Over the next thirty years, Perry helped produce over 150 of Grantland Rice's "Sportlight" series short films. These films were human interest stories about fifteen minutes in length, which were shown before the featured movies at theaters across the country. The subjects included different themes like picnics, weddings, school rooms, track meets, night clubs with bands, and bartenders among other story lines. Rice once did a reel called "The Human Fish" featuring Perry, and proclaimed him as the "best swimmer in America."

paragraph: Perry became a go-to consultant for Hollywood movies that involved on-location water scenes, and Florida's crystal-clear spring waters provided nearly ideal underwater filming locations. He played a significant role in the production of MGM's "Tarzan Finds a Son!" (1939) at Silver Springs and "Tarzan's Secret Treasure" (1941) at Wakulla Springs through his relationship with actor-swimmer Johnny Weissmuller who played Tarzan. He also influenced Universal Studio's decision to film the "Creature from the Black Lagoon" and its sequels at Wakulla Springs and Silver Springs, as well as the hiring of Florida swimmer Ricou Browning to play the Creature in the movie's underwater sequences. He worked with several noted actors including Weissmuller, W.C. Fields, Gary Cooper, Cary Grant, Gregory Peck, Jayne Mansfield, Ann Blyth, Lloyd Bridges.

paragraph: In 1948, Perry spearheaded the development of the Weeki Wachee Springs attraction, and is credited with performing the first underwater shows there. His daughter Margaret Eileen Perry performed as one of the youngest mermaids ever at the springs in 1948 at age 13. It was later that year that Perry met his future wife Dot. Perry was president of the Florida Attraction Association and attending a convention at Miami Beach. Dot was training for the 1948 U.S. Olympic diving team in one-meter and tower diving. A mutual friend and former Olympic diver, Kathryn Rawls, introduced the two. An instant connection began when Perry climbed to the top of a 10-meter diving platform and started diving, dive for dive, with Dot. Dot found that Perry could do almost anything in the water and that led to a year-long, long-distance romance. Dot had signed with the "Water Follies," a local synchronized swimming act, after failing to qualify for the Olympic diving team. She toured Cuba, Mexico, Central and South America as their star diver.

paragraph: Section::::Later life.

paragraph: After Perry and Dot's wedding in the fall of 1950, they moved to San Marcos, Texas to develop Aquerena Springs, an underwater attraction similar to Weeki Wachee. After completing the development of Aquarena, Perry and his wife returned to Ocala. They founded an instructional swimming school in Ocala that remains in operation today. Perry's most successful swimming student was his nephew, Don Schollander, a five-time Olympic gold medalist at the 1964 and 1968 Summer Olympics.

paragraph: Perry suffered strokes in 1975 and 1978 that left him partially paralyzed. He was inducted into the Florida Sports Hall of Fame in 1981. He died in Ocala in 1987; he was 79 years old. He was survived by his son, two daughters, and six grandchildren.

paragraph: Charles Kemble

paragraph: Charles Kemble (25 November 1775 – 12 November 1854) was a Welsh-born English actor of a prominent theatre family

paragraph: Section::::Life.

paragraph: Charles Kemble was one of 13 siblings and the youngest son of English Roman Catholic theatre manager/actor Roger Kemble, and Irish-born actress Sarah Ward, Charles Kemble was the younger brother of, among others, John Philip Kemble, Stephen Kemble and Sarah Siddons, he was born at Brecon, South Wales. Like his brothers he was raised in his father's Catholic faith. His sisters were raised in their mother's Protestant faith. He and John Philip were educated at Douai.

paragraph: After returning to England in 1792, he obtained a job in the post office, but soon resigned to go on the stage, making his first recorded appearance at Sheffield as Orlando in "As You Like It" in that year. During the early part of his career as an actor he slowly gained popularity. For a considerable time he played with his brother and sister, chiefly in secondary parts, and received little attention.

paragraph: In comedy he was ably supported by his wife, Marie Therese De Camp, whom he married on 2 July 1806. His visit, with his daughter Fanny, to America during 1832 and 1834, aroused much enthusiasm. The later part of his career was beset by money troubles in connection with his joint proprietorship of Covent Garden theatre.

paragraph: He formally retired from the stage in December 1836, but his final appearance was on 10 April 1840. From 1836-1840 he held the office of Examiner of Plays. In 1844-45 he gave readings from Shakespeare at Willis's Rooms. Macready regarded his Cassio as incomparable, and summed him up as "a first-rate actor of second-rate parts."

paragraph: Stephen Kemble

paragraph: George Stephen Kemble (21 April 1758 – 5 June 1822) was a successful English theatre manager, actor, and writer, and a member of the famous Kemble family.

paragraph: He was born in Kington, Herefordshire, one of 13 siblings and the second son of Roger Kemble and Sarah "Sally Ward". His siblings included Charles Kemble, John Philip Kemble and Sarah Siddons. He and his brothers were raised in their father's Catholic faith; his sisters were raised in their mother's Protestant faith.

paragraph: George Kemble wed prominent actress Elizabeth Satchell (1783). His niece was the actress and abolitionist Fanny Kemble. His daughter Francis Kemble married Richard Arkwright Jnr's son, Capt. Robert Arkwright. Kemble's son Henry was also an actor.

paragraph: Section::::Manager.

paragraph: Similar to his father, Stephen Kemble became a very successful theatre manager of the Eighteenth-Century English stage. He managed the original Theatre Royal, Newcastle for fifteen years (1791–1806). He brought members of his famous acting family and many other actors out of London to Newcastle. Stephen's sister, Sarah Siddons, was the first London actor of repute to break through the prejudice which regarded summer " strolling", or starring in the provincial theatres, as a degradation.

paragraph: Stephen Kemble guided the Theatre through many celebrated seasons. The Newcastle audience quickly came to regard itself, that is, as "in a position of great theatrical privilege.". The original Theatre Royal was opened on 21 January 1788 and was located on Mosley Street, next to Drury Lane. While in Newcastle upon Tyne Kemble lived in a large house opposite the White Cross in Newgate Street.

paragraph: Stephen Kemble took on the management of the Theatre Royal, Edinburgh in 1794 and he held this until 1800 although with an interval created by Harriet Pye Esten. He also managed other theatres; The Theatre Royal, Glasgow (eventually replaced by Tivoli Theatre (Aberdeen)) (1795); Chester; Lancaster; Sheffield (1792); Berwick-upon-Tweed (1794),; theatres in Northumberland; Alnwick (where he builds a theatre)(1796) and rural areas on the theatre circuit. From Newcastle, Kemble ran the Durham circuit (1799), which included North Shields, Sunderland, South Shields, Stockton and Scarborough (opening for the Stockton Racecourse). He also managed theatres at Northallerton and Morpeth. In Broadway, he performed in the Assembly Room of the Lygon Arms (formerly known as the White Hart Inn). He also managed Whitehaven and Paislie (1814), Northampton Theatre, the theatre at Birmingham and Theatre Royal, Dumfries, Portsmouth. For a short time in 1792, actor Charles Lee Lewes assisted Stephen Kemble in the management of the Dundee Repertory Theatre

paragraph: He supported the careers of many leading actors of the time such as Master Betty, his wife Elizabeth Satchell, his sister Elizabeth Whitlock, George Frederick Cooke, Harriet Pye Esten, John Edwin, Joseph Munden, Grist, Elizabeth Inchbald, Pauline Hall, Wilson, Charles Incledon, Egan. His nephew Henry Siddons (Sarah Siddons' son) made his first appearance on stage in Sheffield (October 1792), his younger brother Charles Kemble, Thomas Apthorpe Cooper, John Liston, John Emery, Daniel Egerton, William Macready.

paragraph: Stephen presented London stars such as Edmund Kean, Alexander and Elizabeth Pope (née Elizabeth Younge), Mrs. Dorothea Jordan, his brother John Philip Kemble, Wright Bowden, his sister Sarah Siddons, Elizabeth Billington, Michael Kelly (tenor), Anna Maria Crouch, and Charles Lee Lewes.

paragraph: Section::::Actor.

paragraph: He was also famous for playing Falstaff. Contemporary critics acclaimed that in this role Kemble achieved the "optimum balance between comedy and gravity." After his performance in London at Theatre Royal, Drury Lane in 1802, the Morning Chronicle wrote that "It is to be regretted that his associations in the country prevent him from accepting a permanent engagement in London." Kemble would return to play Falstaff in London at Covent Garden (1806) and the Drury Lane (1816), for which he received great acclaim. After Kemble's death, The Edinburgh literary journal wrote, "[Stephen] Kemble was perhaps the best Sir John Falstaff which the British stage ever saw."

paragraph: Kemble also played the title roles in "Hamlet", "King Lear", "Othello", Shylock in "The Merchant of Venice" and many other roles.

paragraph: Writer for The London Magazine John Taylor wrote, "Mr. Stephen Kemble was an actor of considerable merit." Taylor writes about Kemble's commitment to address injustice through theatre: "All characters of an open, blunt nature, and requiring a vehement expression of justice and integrity, particularly those exemplifying an honest indignation against vice, he delivered in so forcible a manner, as to show. obviously that he was developing his own feelings and character. This manner was very successfully displayed in his representation of the Governor, Sir Christopher Curry, in the opera of "Inkle and Yarico"."

paragraph: Taylor writes of Kemble's reputation in the provincial theatre circuit: "Stephen Kemble, who was an accurate observer of human life, and an able delineater of character and manners, was so intelligent and humorous a companion, that he was received with respect into the best company in the several provincial towns, which he occasionally visited in the exercise of his profession."

paragraph: Section::::Writer.

paragraph: He also published a dramatic play "The Northern Inn" (1791). The play was also known as "The northern lass, or, Days of good Queen Bess, The good times of Queen Bess". The play was first produced on 16 August 1791, as "The northern inn, or, The good times of Queen Bess", at the Haymarket Theatre (i.e. Little Theatre or Theatre Royal, Haymarket).

paragraph: Kemble also published a collection of his writings "Odes, Lyrical Ballads and Poems on various occasions" (1809). About Kemble's poetry, John Wilson (Scottish writer) stated, "Stephen Kemble was a man of excellent talents, and taste too; and we have a volume of his poems... in which there is considerable powers of language, and no deficiency either of feeling or of fancy. He had humour if not wit, and was a pleasant companion and worthy man." Of particular interest is Kemble's writing is his reflections on contemporaneous events such as the Battle of Trafalgar, the death of Lord Nelson, the death of Robert Burns, his conversion to the abolitionist movement and support of the Slave Trade Act 1807, the death of his brother-in-law William Siddons.

paragraph: Stephen published a play with his son Henry Kemble (1789–1836) entitled "Flodden Field" (1819) based on the Battle of Flodden (1513). The text is based on Sir Walter Scott's Marmion: a tale of Flodden field. In six cantos. The play was first performed at the Theatre Royal, Drury Lane, on Thursday evening, 31 December 1818. "The European Magazine, and London Review" reported that at its debut "the whole [play] went off without opposition, and its repetition, was received with applause."

paragraph: An essay of his entitled "In the Character of Touchstone, Riding on an Ass" was published by William Oxberry in his book "The Actor's Budget" (1820).

paragraph: Section::::Retirement.

paragraph: Kemble moved from Newcastle to Durham, and lived in retirement after 1806. In later life, Kemble took on less responsibilities in management and made only occasional appearances on the stage.

paragraph: He was a close friend of another famous Durham resident, the 3 ft 3 inch tall Polish dwarf, Józef Boruwłaski. When these two friends - one little and one large - strolled along the wooded paths of the city, they were reported to be an interesting sight for the people of Durham.

paragraph: Kemble's last performance at Durham was in May 1822, a fortnight before his death at the age of 64. He was fondly remembered by the natives of Durham, and was honoured with a burial in the Chapel of the Nine Altars in the Durham Cathedral. He and his close friend Józef Boruwłaski were buried beside each other. The heyday of Durham theatre came to an end with Kemble's death.

paragraph: In 2013, lines from his ode to a Guinea were inscribed on the rim of a £2 coin issued to commemorate the 350th anniversary of the Guinea coin. "What is a Guinea? 'Tis a splendid thing"."

paragraph: William Turner (naturalist)

paragraph: William Turner MA (1509/10 – 13 July 1568) was an English divine and reformer, a physician and a natural historian. He studied medicine in Italy, and was a friend of the great Swiss naturalist, Conrad Gessner. He was an early herbalist and ornithologist, and it is in these fields that the most interest lies today.

paragraph: Section::::Biography.

paragraph: Section::::Biography.:Early years.

paragraph: Turner was born in Morpeth, Northumberland, in or around 1508. His father was probably a tanner of the same name. He studied at Pembroke Hall, Cambridge University, from 1526 to 1533, where he received his B.A. in 1530 and his M.A. in 1533. He was a Fellow and Senior Treasurer of Pembroke Hall, Cambridge. While at Cambridge he published several works, including "Libellus de re herbaria", in 1538. He spent much of his leisure in the careful study of plants which he sought for in their native habitat, and described with an accuracy hitherto unknown in England.

paragraph: In 1540, he began travelling about preaching until he was arrested. After his release, he went on to study medicine in Italy, at Ferrara and Bologna, from 1540 to 1542 and was incorporated M.D. at one of these universities. He married Jane Auder (perhaps a widow of a Mr Cage when they married) who gave birth to a son Peter in 1542.

paragraph: Section::::Biography.:Career.

paragraph: After completing his medical degree, he became physician to the Earl of Emden. Back in England he became Chaplain and physician to the Duke of Somerset, and through Somerset's influence he obtained ecclesiastical preferment. The position as Somerset's physician also led to practice among upper society. He was prebendary of Botevant in York Cathedral in 1550, and Dean of Wells Cathedral from 1551 to 1553, where he established a Herbal garden. When Mary I of England acceded to the throne, Turner went into exile once again. From 1553 to 1558, he lived in Weißenburg in Bayern and supported himself as a physician. He became a Calvinist at this time, if not before.

paragraph: After the succession of Elizabeth I of England in 1558, Turner returned to England, and was once again Dean of Wells Cathedral from 1560 to 1564. His attempts to bring the English church into agreement with the reformed churches of Germany and Switzerland led to his suspension for nonconformity in 1564. Turner died in London on 7 July 1568 at his home in Crutched Friars, in the City of London, and is buried in the church of St Olave Hart Street. An engraved stone on the south-east wall of this church commemorates Turner. Thomas Lever, one of the great puritan preachers of the period, delivered the sermon at his funeral.

paragraph: Quite early in his career, Turner became interested in natural history and set out to produce reliable lists of English plants and animals, which he published as "Libellus de re herbaria" in 1538. In 1544, Turner published "" ("The Principal Birds of Aristotle and Pliny..."), which not only discussed the principal birds and bird names mentioned by Aristotle and Pliny the Elder but also added accurate descriptions and life histories of birds from his own extensive ornithological knowledge. This is the first "printed" book devoted entirely to birds.

paragraph: In 1545, Turner published "The Rescuynge of the Romishe Fox", and in 1548, "The Names of Herbes". In 1551, he published the first of three parts of his famous "Herbal", on which his botanical fame rests.

paragraph: "A new herball, wherin are conteyned the names of herbes…" (London: imprinted by Steven Myerdman and soolde by John Gybken, 1551) is the first part of Turner's great work; the second was published in 1562 and the third in 1568, both by Arnold Birckman of Cologne. These volumes gave the first clear, systematic survey of English plants, and with their admirable woodcuts (mainly copied from Leonhart Fuchs's 1542 "De historia Stirpium") and detailed observations based on Turner's own field studies put the herbal on an altogether higher footing than in earlier works. At the same time, however, Turner included an account of their "uses and vertues", and in his preface admits that some will accuse him of divulging to the general public what should have been reserved for a professional audience. For the first time, a herbal was available in England in the vernacular, from which people could identify the main English plants without difficulty.

paragraph: "A New Book of Spiritual Physick" was published in 1555. In 1562, Turner published the second part of his Herbal, dedicated to Sir Thomas Wentworth, son of the patron who had enabled him to go to Cambridge. This book was published by Arnold Birckman of Cologne, and included in the same binding Turner's treatise on baths. The third and last part of Turner's Herbal was published in 1568, in a volume that also contained revised editions of the first and second parts. This was dedicated to Queen Elizabeth. "A New Boke on the Natures and Properties of all Wines", also published in 1568, had pharmacological intent behind it, as also the included "Treatise of Triacle".

paragraph: As a member of the nonconformist faction in the Vestments controversy Turner was famous for making an adulterer do public penance wearing a square cap and for teaching his dog to steal such caps from bishop's heads. His scholarly pursuits had other, distinctly political, implications. According to Tudor historian Lacey Baldwin Smith, for instance, "Religious discontent and civil rebellion were obviously walking hand in hand when William Turner dared speak out against [Henry VIII's] proclamation of 1543 limiting the reading of the Bible to men of social standing. What kind of ungodly belly wisdom was it, he demanded, to say that 'rich men and the nobles are wiser than the poor people?'"

paragraph: Turner embraced the transmutation of species. Historian of science Charles E. Raven wrote that "Turner, a shrewd observer and an excellent botanist, accepted transmutation as a commonplace event."

paragraph: Iah (queen)

paragraph: Iah (also Yah, Jah or Aah = "Moon") was a "king's mother" and queen of ancient Egypt c. 2060 BC, during the mid 11th Dynasty (2134–1991 BC). Daughter of a pharaoh, possibly Intef II, and mother of pharaoh Mentuhotep II, she was the queen of Intef III.

paragraph: Section::::Biography.

paragraph: Little is known for certain about the origin and life of Iah. She bore the title of "king's daughter" ("S3t-nswt"), which indicates that she was the daughter of pharaoh, possibly Intef II, but this remains conjectural. Her name is a reference to Iah, an Egyptian Moon god.

paragraph: Iah was married to pharaoh Intef III, although the important title "king's wife" is not attested for her. Their children were:

paragraph: As the mother of Mentuhotep II and Neferu II, Iah was both the maternal and paternal grandmother of king Mentuhotep III.

paragraph: Iah appears on a rock relief in the Shatt er-Rigal where she is shown standing behind Mentuhotep II. In front of both of them are depicted the "beloved god's father, son of Ra, Intef" and the royal sealer and treasurer Kheti. She also appears in the tomb TT319 of her daughter Neferu II. She is named on relief fragments of Neferu's tomb and on model coffins, where it is written: "Neferu, born of Iah".

paragraph: Mary Smith Jones

paragraph: Mary Smith Jones (1819–1907) was the last First Lady of the Republic of Texas, as wife of Anson Jones, the last president of the Republic. She was the first president of the newly founded Daughters of the Republic of Texas in 1891.

paragraph: Section::::Early life.

paragraph: Mary Smith was born on July 24, 1819 to John McCutcheon Smith and his wife Sarah Pevehouse Smith, in Lawrence County, Arkansas. Her father died in 1833, and the family relocated to the Mexican state of Coahuila y Tejas. Mary became part of a large family of step-siblings when her mother remarried to John Woodruff. Due to growing political tensions and subsequent military operations leading up to the Texas Revolution, the Woodruffs moved a number of times, finally settling in Houston. Mary's first husband at age 19 was a soldier named Hugh McCrory. The marriage was cut short by McCrory's untimely death in 1837. He was buried at Founders Memorial Cemetery, and a cenotaph remains at this site for Mary Smith Jones as well.

paragraph: Section::::Anson Jones.

paragraph: On May 17, 1840, Mary wed Austin physician Anson Jones, whom she had met when he rented a room at her mother's boarding house. The couple had three sons and one daughter: Samuel, Charles, Cromwell, and Sallie. Jones was well-traveled and at one point had lived in Venezuela. Prior to his marriage to Mary, he had held positions in both the private sector, and in the government of the Republic of Texas. In 1844, Jones became the last President of the Republic of Texas, with Mary as the last First Lady. His opposition to annexation created a volatile climate, and some had pushed for his impeachment. When Texas was annexed in 1845, Jones retired to private life. He suffered a debilitating accident a few years later. Although he held false hopes that he would be elected to the United States Senate, he had become bitter. Jones killed himself in 1858. Mary Smith Jones then moved with her children first to Galveston and then onto a farm in Harris County.

paragraph: Section::::Final years.

paragraph: Mary Smith Jones became the first president of the Daughters of the Republic of Texas in 1891, and a member of the Texas State Historical Association. The suicide of Anson Jones left Mary and the children strapped for money, and forced to sell their land and home at Washington-on-the-Brazos. Ashbel Smith assisted the family with purchase of land near Galveston. Mary also relied on Smith in 1860 to take a manuscript of her husband's "Memoranda" to New York for publication. All the copies of the published manuscript remained stored away and undistributed until 1929.

paragraph: She spent her remaining years living with her children, and dealing with the financial issues of her husband's estate. Mary Smith Jones never remarried. She died in 1907 and is buried next to Anson Jones at Glenwood Cemetery in Houston, Texas.

paragraph: Giuseppe Santarelli

paragraph: Giuseppe Santarelli (1710–1790) was an Italian castrato, composer, choir conductor, voice teacher, and Roman Catholic priest. He was named a knight of the Sovereign Military Order of Malta.

paragraph: Section::::Life and career.

paragraph: Born in Forlì, he entered a monastery in the Order of Saint Augustine at a young age where he was eventually ordained. The exact details of his musical training are unknown, although it is clear he must have been thoroughly trained in music composition, music theory, and in singing. He was active on the opera stage in Venice during the 1740s. In 1749 he became a singer in the Sistine Chapel Choir in Vatican City, ultimately being appointed conductor in 1770. He was also for many years the cantor at the Basilica di Santa Maria Maggiore. In 1761 he published an essay on the organisation of the Sistine Chapel Choir, under the title: "Informazione del Cantor Fra' Giuseppe Santarelli Cappellano d'onore dell'Eminentissimo e Reverendissimo Signor Cardinale Alessandro Albani come Ministro Plenipotenziario delle Loro MM. Imp. e Reali presso la S. Sede. In risposta ad un Biglietto di esso Eminentissimo" (Roma, Komarek). As a teacher of singing his notable pupils included Muzio Clementi and Venanzio Rauzzini. His compositions consist entirely of choral works.

paragraph: In 1770 Santarelli met the English music historian Charles Burney who was touring France and Italy in 1770–1771. Burney was highly impressed by Santarelli's musical abilities, and the two men became friends. Santarelli used his influence to get Burney access to the Papal Music Archive, which proved invaluable for Burney's books "The Present State of Music in France and Italy" (1771) and "History of Music" (1776).

paragraph: Werner Kreipe (12 April 1904 – 7 September 1967) was a German World War II Luftwaffe General der Flieger.

paragraph: Section::::Luftwaffe career.

paragraph: Kreipe joined the Luftwaffe in 1934. Kreipe held various staff positions until the winter 1939/40, when he was selected or applied for a field role. He joined "Kampfgeschwader 2" (Bomber Wing 2) and commanded its III. Gruppe during the Battle of France and the Battle of Belgium. In June 1940 he returned to various staff positions. In December 1941 he was promoted as Chief of Staff, 1st Air Corps (I. Fliegerkorps). In August 1942 he was promoted as the Luftwaffe's General Chief of Staff. In July 1943 he was appointed General der Flieger (General of Flying).

paragraph: Dissatisfied with Hermann Göring's leadership of the Luftwaffe, Adolf Hitler wanted to replace him with Robert Ritter von Greim. Unable to convince Greim to accept the role, Hitler forced Göring to sack Kreipe, and provisionally replace him on 19 September 1944 with the stolid Karl Koller, who was officially assigned the position on 12 November. However, Koller was unable to reform the Luftwaffe, which had been mismanaged by Göring and had lost air superiority over the skies of Europe.

paragraph: In January 1945, he organised the logistical effort and preparation for the Luftwaffe's last major offensive, "Unternehmen Bodenplatte" (Operation Baseplate) on 1 January 1945. Kreipe continued in staff positions until surrendering to the Western Allies in May 1945.

paragraph: Francisco "Paquito" Montaner

paragraph: Francisco ("Paquito") Montaner García (August 16, 1894 – April 5, 1945) was a Puerto Rican pitcher from Ponce. He was the first baseball player to throw a "no-hitter" in Puerto Rican baseball, an event that took place on 10 December 1911. He is honored with the name of one of the largest stadiums in Puerto Rico, the professional baseball league's Francisco Montaner Stadium in Ponce. In 1955, he was inducted into the Puerto Rico Sports Hall of Fame and, in 1983, into the "Galeria de los Inmortales del Deporte Ponceño" (Ponce's Gallery of the Inmortals of Ponce Sports).

paragraph: Section::::Early years and schooling.

paragraph: Francisco "Paquito" Alfonso Montaner García was born in Ponce, Puerto Rico, on August 16, 1894, to Francisco Montaner Colón and Eugenia García Colón. His parents separated when he was young and Montaner was raised by his mother, together with his other three siblings, Manolo, Mercedes and Amanda. His father was a member of the local chapter of the Unionist party. Montaner García was a graduate of Ponce High School.

paragraph: Section::::Baseball career.

paragraph: Montaner García predated professional baseball in Puerto Rico, which was not organized until 1926. He was one of the greatest Puerto Rican pitchers of all times. He also played ball performing brilliantly as an infielder. Prior to this, he was responsible for raising the name of his alma mater Ponce High School to the summit of Puerto Rican sports.

paragraph: On one occasion Montaner García pitched two games on the same day without allowing the opposing team, Santurce's Central High School, to score a single run. On another occasion Montaner scored all strikeouts against 15 batters in succession and, in 1914, Montaner eliminated the "All-American" team as he threw a no-hitter against a team made up exclusively of American players belonging mostly to major league teams. After this game, the All-American team extended Montaner an offer to play for their team. Montaner's parents refused, however, given that Montaner was still a very young man. "Had the contract materialized, Montaner would have been the first Puerto Rican ever to have played in the major leagues with the New York Yankees, then known as the All-American team". On January 22, 1912, while playing for Ponce's "Liga del Castillo", Montaner García threw another no-hitter against San Juan's Capital Pope team. Montaner García was a right-hand pitcher.

paragraph: Montaner García and his team, the Ponce Baseball Club, played at the Campo Atlético Charles H. Terry located on Calle Lolita Tizol in Ponce. Among the players in his team were Vicente Laborde, Octavio Rodriguez, "Ciqui" Faberlle, Carlos Bonet, Angel Pou, Cayetano Pou, Cosme Beitia, "Pellin" Alicea, Leopoldo Martinez and Lorenzo Roque. Montaner García retired from baseball in 1923 when he hurt his right arm.

paragraph: Section::::Life outside the diamond.

paragraph: Section::::Life outside the diamond.:Shopkeeper.

paragraph: As professional leagues had not yet formed in Puerto Rico at the time Montaner played, he made his living outside the baseball field. Montaner García came from a family of shopkeepers. His father, Francisco Montaner Colón (b. 1872- d.?) owned a cigar and liquor shop in Ponce, located near the center of town at the corner of Arenas and Intendente Ramirez streets, in Barrio Sexto (Cantera).

paragraph: Section::::Life outside the diamond.:Music lover.

paragraph: Montaner Garcia loved music and in the 1930s he recorded two 78 rpm records with Jose Piñeiro in New Jersey, United States. The recordings consisted of danzas by Manuel Gregorio Tavárez and Juan Morel Campos. "He loved music, playing the guitar and singing."

paragraph: Section::::Life outside the diamond.:Family life.

paragraph: Montaner García married Sarah Bigay and had four children: Carmen Maria, Francisco (Paquito) (1925–2009), Victor Manuel, and Ausberto (Boty).

paragraph: Section::::Later years and death.

paragraph: Montaner García spent his last few retirement years playing dominoes. He died in Ponce on April 5, 1945, after suffering from leucemia for some time. He was 50 years old at the time of his death. Montaner García was the first major figure in Ponce baseball. His death in 1945 prompted the city of Ponce to honor him by naming the local baseball stadium after him. The stadium broke ground two years after Montaner García's death and opened two years after that, in 1949.

paragraph: Bruce Dwight Collins

paragraph: Bruce Dwight Collins (born April 13, 1968) is an American AM radio host, author, former pro wrestling promoter, and a nationally syndicated (84 AM radio markets) book reviewer (Monster Radio) from 2003-2005. Bruce has hosted "The Bruce Collins Show" since 2006 with co-host Chad Miles (a former candidate for a seat in the U.S. House of Representatives in Michigan's 14th congressional district) on WSMN 1590 AM in Nashua, New Hampshire, and WWZN 1510 AM in Boston, Massachusetts. Recently, "The Bruce Collins Show" has been broadcasting at WWPR 1490 AM in Tampa Bay/Bradenton, Florida, on Thursday nights at 10 pm EST.

paragraph: Section::::Author.

paragraph: Collins is the author of three books, among them: "The Big Schwag's Positive Self Help Guide- For Complete Losers Like You!", co-written with actor Brett "The Big Schwag" Wagner, and "So, You Want to be a Wrestling Promoter?" co-written with Ric Drasin, the only book on Amazon about promoting wrestling (wrestling promoters are very secretive about their techniques as revealing them creates more competition). Collins is currently working on a fourth book, tentatively titled "The Corpse Wrestled at Midnight".

paragraph: Section::::Pro wrestling promotions.

paragraph: Collins owned the pro wrestling company Boreman's Wrestling Planet from 1996 to 1999. Boreman's Wrestling Planet promoted shows in Northern California, most notably hosting "Halloween Horror '99" at the San Jose Civic Auditorium. Bruce's time in wrestling was chronicled in "SF Weekly", in an article titled "SMACKDOWN!"

paragraph: Section::::Radio.

paragraph: Bruce started in radio on Monster Radio, hosted by Brett "The Big Schwag" Wagner (who was the voice of Discovery Channel's "Monster Garage") and Alan Taylor (also of Car and Driver Radio). Monster Radio was syndicated in 84 radio markets. Collins appeared on Monster Radio from 2003 to 2005 with his book review segments.

paragraph: During this time, Collins' book review words appeared on the back cover of the bestselling book "Nephilim Stargates: The Year 2012 and the Return of the Watchers" by Tom Horn: "A ride of fright, discovery and action… that might have put the late Mr. Hitchcock in the fetal position."

paragraph: Chad Miles, the co-host of "The Bruce Collins Show", appeared on the nationally syndicated "Coast to Coast AM" with George Noory to represent "The Bruce Collins Show" and talk about drones over Miami. Based on his AM radio exposure, Collins was approached by the History Channel's "Decoded TV" (with bestselling author Brad Meltzer) in 2009 to audition for their program. "The Bruce Collins Show" uses the tagline "The New Theater of the Mind", because many of their segments are scripted and staged, although the guest interviews are, for the most part, legitimate.

paragraph: "The Bruce Collins Show" originally started as a focus on more fringe topics (paranormal, supernatural, UFOs) but then gradually became more mainstream.

paragraph: Past guests include Jesse Ventura (twice), Kevin Trudeau, Gerald Celente, Alex Jones, Larry Pratt of Gun Owners of America, Stryper's Michael Sweet, Megadeth's Dave Ellefson, Nick Redfern, Coast to Coast AM's John B. Wells, wrestling legends Ivan Koloff and Jake "The Snake" Roberts, women's wrestler Gail Kim, wrestler Drew Galloway, Machine Gun Preacher Sam Childers, Jerome Corsi, former Major League ballplayer John Rocker, former NFL player Brian Kinchen and many others.

paragraph: Vocal talent Gabe Reed appears on "The Bruce Collins Show" regularly as multiple characters: Collin S. Collins, Jeckleberry Dupont, Sr., etc.

paragraph: Bruce was a guest on Steve Bonnenberger's nationally syndicated radio show to talk about how dreams come true: how a pro wrestling promoter turned into an author and became a radio host on multiple AM stations.

paragraph: Bruce Collins/"The Bruce Collins Show" are credited at the end of the documentary "Predictive Programming & Human Microchipping Agenda" in the rolling credits: "The Following Radio and TV Shows who have Promoted our Movement: -Bruce Collins Radio Show".

paragraph: Section::::Family.

paragraph: Bruce is the grandson of the late Rev. Clair Boreman, a pastor in the Foursquare Church denomination for over 50 years. Bruce's great uncle was J.W. Ruby, the former owner of Sterling Faucet Company. (The JW Ruby Memorial Hospital at West Virginia University is dedicated to him.) Bruce is a Christian. Bruce's father was Dwight Collins, a safety engineer for IBM. Bruce's mother is Roberta Boreman (Collins).

paragraph: Alphonse de Cailleux

paragraph: Alphonse de Cailleux, in full Alexandre-Alphonse-Achille, vicomte de Cailloux (31 December 1788 in Rouen – 24 May 1876) was a painter, connoisseur and arts administrator who became director of the Musée du Louvre and all the royal museums of France. Under the Bourbon Restoration he was attached to the reconstituted royal household (the "maison du roi").

paragraph: As "secrétaire général des Musées royaux" he shared a carriage with Charles Nodier, Jean Alaux and Victor Hugo at the coronation of Charles X in 1825. In 1836 he was appointed "directeur adjoint" at the Louvre, where he assisted the increasingly debilitated Louis Nicolas Philippe Auguste de Forbin; at Forbin's death he was appointed "directeur général des beaux-arts", a precursor of the position of Minister of Fine Arts.

paragraph: In 1845 he was elected a "membre libre" (not being an artist himself) of the Académie des Beaux-Arts of the Institut de France. He was also a chevalier of the Légion d'Honneur. In February 1848, as revolt erupted and Louis Philippe abdicated, this confirmed royalist resigned his posts.

paragraph: His portrait, attributed to Georges Rouget, is at the Musée de Versailles.

paragraph: John Collins (mathematician)

paragraph: John Collins FRS (25 March 1625 – 10 November 1683) was an English mathematician. He is most known for his extensive correspondence with leading scientists and mathematicians such as Giovanni Alfonso Borelli, Gottfried Leibniz, Isaac Newton, and John Wallis. His correspondence provides details of many of the discoveries and developments made in his time, and shows his activity as an 'intelligencer'.

paragraph: Section::::Life.

paragraph: He was the son of a nonconformist minister, and was born at Wood Eaton in Oxfordshire, 5 March 1625. Apprenticed at the age of sixteen to Thomas Allam, a bookseller, living outside the Turl Gate of Oxford, he was driven to quit the trade by the troubles of the time, and accepted a clerkship in the employment of John Marr, clerk of the kitchen to the Prince of Wales. From him he derived some instruction in mathematics, but the outbreak of the First English Civil War drove him to sea for seven years, 1642-9, most of which time he spent on board an English merchantman, engaged by the Venetians as a ship of war in their defence of Candia against the Turks.

paragraph: He devoted his leisure to the study of mathematics and merchants' accounts, and on leaving the service set up in London as a teacher. In 1652 he published "An Introduction to Merchants' Accounts", originally drawn up for the use of his scholars. Reprinted in 1665, the major part of the impression perished in the great fire of London, but was replaced in 1674 by a new and amplified folio edition. He next wrote "The Sector on a Quadrant, or a Treatise containing the Description and Use of three several Quadrants." Also an appendix touching "Reflected Dyalling, from a Glass however posited" (London, 1658); and "The Description and Uses of a general Quadrant, with the Horizontal Projection upon it Inverted" (1658). In 1659 appeared his "Geometricall Dyalling, or Dyalling performed by a Line of Chords only", and "The Mariner's Plain Scale new Plained", a treatise on navigation for the East India Company's navy. It was well received, and became a class-book with the students of navigation at Christ Church Hospital.

paragraph: After the Restoration, Collins was appointed successively accountant to the excise office, accountant in chancery, and secretary to the council of plantations, exchanging the last post in 1672 for that of manager of the farthing office. With this employment went a house in Fenchurch Street, where he had thoughts of setting up a stationer's shop, and hoped 'to fall into the printing of books,' including some he himself designed to write, 'particularly one of the modern advancement of mathematical sciences, and an account of the best authors of that kind'. He did not, however, succeed in carrying the plan into effect. With the failure of his arguments against the issue of tin farthings his office ceased, and he was glad subsequently to accept a small post as accountant to the Royal Fishery Company.

paragraph: He had refused in March 1669 a situation offered to him in Ireland by the surveyor-general, Sir James Shaen, and about the same time married one of two daughters of William Austen, head cook to Charles II. As his family increased his means of subsistence became more and more precarious. He undertook accountancy work, spending less time on learned correspondence.

paragraph: Several of his writings testify to his acquaintance with the course of trade and interest in public matters. He published in 1680 "A Plea for the bringing in of Irish Cattel, and keeping out Fish caught by Foreigners, together with an humble Address to the Honourable members of parliament of the counties of Cornwall and Devon, about the Advancement of Tin, Fishery, and divers Manufactures"; and in 1682 a little treatise entitled "Salt and Fishery", in which he dwelt upon the several modes of preparing salt in England and abroad, the catching of fish, the salting and cooking of fish and meat, besides offering proposals for the relief of the salt-workers.

paragraph: Collins died, 10 November 1683, at his lodging on Garlick Hill, London, of asthma and consumption, and was buried in the parish church of St. James.

paragraph: Section::::Works.

paragraph: An enlarged edition of his "Doctrine of Decimal Arithmetick", the preparation of which had engaged his attention during about a year before his death, appeared in 1685. It had originally been printed in 1664 on a quarter of a sheet for portability in a letter-case. His "Arithmetic in whole Numbers and Fractions, both Vulgar and Decimal, with Tables for the Forbearance and Rebate of Money", &c., was published by Thomas Plant in 1688.

paragraph: Collins was elected a fellow of the Royal Society 24 October 1667, and on 11 November of that year communicated an exposition of a theorem by the Jesuit Jacques de Billy. He contributed further "An Account concerning the Resolution of Equations in Numbers", a survey of recent algebra improvements made in England, and "A Solution of a Chorographical Problem"; while a letter written to John Wallis, 3 October 1682, was imparted to the society 20 May 1684. This was designed as preliminary to a formal treatise on algebra, never written.

paragraph: He helped forward many important publications. To him was due the printing of Isaac Barrow's "Optical and Geometrical Lectures", as well as of his editions of Apollonius and Archimedes; of John Kersey's "Algebra", Thomas Branker's translation of Rhonius's "Algebra", and Wallis's "History of Algebra". He took an active part in seeing Jeremiah Horrocks's "Astronomical Remains" through the press.

paragraph: Section::::Legacy.

paragraph: About twenty-five years after Collins's death his books and papers came into the possession of William Jones, F.R.S. They included a voluminous correspondence with Newton, Leibniz, Gregory, Barrow, John Flamsteed, Wallis, Slusius, and others. From it was selected and published in 1712, by order of the Royal Society, the "Commercium Epistolicum", of material relevant to Newton's priority over Leibniz in the discovery of the infinitesimal calculus; specimens of results from the use of the fluxional method were transmitted 20 July 1669 through Barrow to Collins, and by him made widely known.
