paragraph: Pierre-Louis Moline

paragraph: Pierre-Louis Moline ( – 20 March 1820) was a prolific French dramatist, poet and librettist. His play "La Réunion du six août" was one of the longest-running patriotic pieces during the time of the French Revolution with 52 performances at the Paris Opéra. He also wrote the epitaph for the tomb of Jean-Paul Marat. However, he is best remembered today for having adapted Calzabigi's libretto for Gluck's "Orphée et Euridice" (a reworked version of his "Orfeo ed Euridice").

paragraph: Section::::Biography.

paragraph: Moline was born in Montpellier and studied art at the University of Avignon. He then went to Paris, where he studied law. He was accepted as a lawyer to the French parliament, but devoted most of his time to literary pursuits. Two of his librettos for the Paris Opera were highly successful: his adaptation of Calzabigi for Gluck's "Orphée et Euridice" (1774) and Jean-Frédéric Edelmann's "Ariane dans l'isle de Naxos" (1782). Moline also collaborated with Gluck on his 1775 revision of "L'arbre enchanté", a one-act "opéra comique", which had premiered in Vienna at the Schönbrunn Palace in 1759.

paragraph: During the French Revolution he served as a secretary-clerk to the National Convention and wrote several patriotic theatrical pieces, including his most famous work of this type, "La Réunion du six août". Moline died in Paris, leaving no known heirs.

paragraph: Julian Rushton, writing in "The New Grove Dictionary of Opera", says of Moline: "With deplorable fecundity, he contributed to every fashionable stage genre, including tragedy, comedy of manners, bourgeois drama and Revolutionary "sans-culottide"."

paragraph: Morris E. Crain

paragraph: Morris E. Crain (October 7, 1924 – March 13, 1945) was a United States Army soldier and a recipient of the United States military's highest decoration—the Medal of Honor—for his actions in World War II.

paragraph: Section::::Biography.

paragraph: Crain joined the Army from Paducah, Kentucky in March 1943, and by March 13, 1945 was serving as a technical sergeant in Company E, 141st Infantry Regiment, 36th Infantry Division. On that day, he led his platoon during urban combat against a German force in Haguenau, France. He repeatedly braved hostile fire to lead and encourage his men, procure ammunition, and carry messages. When a house defended by some of his men came under intense attack from German soldiers and a tank, he ordered the men to withdraw while he held the position alone. He was killed when the house was destroyed by German fire. For these actions, he was posthumously awarded the Medal of Honor a year later, on February 13, 1946.

paragraph: Crain, aged 20 at his death, was buried in Mount Pleasant Church, La Center, Kentucky.

paragraph: Section::::Medal of Honor citation.

paragraph: Technical Sergeant Crain's official Medal of Honor citation reads:

paragraph: He led his platoon against powerful German forces during the struggle to enlarge the bridgehead across the Moder River. With great daring and aggressiveness he spearheaded the platoon in killing 10 enemy soldiers, capturing 12 more and securing its objective near an important road junction. Although heavy concentrations of artillery, mortar, and self-propelled gunfire raked the area, he moved about among his men during the day, exhorting them to great efforts and encouraging them to stand firm. He carried ammunition and maintained contact with the company command post, exposing himself to deadly enemy fire. At nightfall the enemy barrage became more intense and tanks entered the fray to cover foot troops while they bombarded our positions with grenades and rockets. As buildings were blasted by the Germans, the Americans fell back from house to house. T/Sgt. Crain deployed another platoon which had been sent to his support and then rushed through murderous tank and small-arms fire to the foremost house, which was being defended by 5 of his men. With the enemy attacking from an adjoining room and a tank firing pointblank at the house, he ordered the men to withdraw while he remained in the face of almost certain death to hold the position. Although shells were crashing through the walls and bullets were hitting all around him, he held his ground and with accurate fire from his submachinegun killed 3 Germans. He was killed when the building was destroyed by the enemy. T/Sgt. Crain's outstanding valor and intrepid leadership enabled his platoon to organize a new defense, repel the attack and preserve the hard-won bridgehead.

paragraph: Francis Lascelles

paragraph: Francis Lascelles (1612-1667), also spelt Lassels, was an English politician, soldier and businessman who fought for Parliament in the 1639-1652 Wars of the Three Kingdoms and was a Member of Parliament between 1645 and 1660.

paragraph: Although nominated to the Commission that tried Charles I in 1649, he did not sign the death warrant and largely escaped punishment after the 1660 Restoration, although he was fined and barred from holding public office.

paragraph: Section::::Life.

paragraph: The Lascelles were part of a network of mercantile interests in London, Yorkshire, Ireland, New England and Barbados. While unconnected to the aristocratic family of the same name, various branches were spread across Yorkshire, including Northallerton, Durham, Whitby, York, Harewood House and Terrington. The family tended to use the same names (Thomas, Francis, Robert, Henry etc), which often causes confusion.

paragraph: Francis Lascelles was born in August 1612 at Stank Hall, near Northallerton, eldest son of William Lascelles (died before 1624) and Elizabeth Wadeson (died 1647). He had three brothers, Robert (1617, died before 1640), Peregrine (1619-1658) and Thomas (1624-1697).

paragraph: In 1626, he married Frances St Quentin (1613-1658) and they had 16 children, only two of whom outlived their parents; Elizabeth (1640-1694) and his youngest son, Daniel (1655-1734). He died at home in November 1667 and was buried in the local church of St Lawrence.

paragraph: Section::::Career.

paragraph: Like many of his friends and relations, Francis supported Parliament during the 1639-1652 Wars of the Three Kingdoms; with his brothers Thomas and Peregrine, he is named in the Ordinances of Parliament as one of those responsible for raising money and men in Yorkshire and a signatory of the 1643 Solemn League and Covenant.

paragraph: At the beginning of the First English Civil War in 1642, many on both sides were related to their opponents and thus reluctant to initiate hostilities. In October, Thomas Fairfax, later commander of Parliamentary forces in the North, signed a pact of neutrality with a Royalist delegation led by his cousin Sir John Belasyse. This was denounced in writing by other supporters of Parliament, including Francis, who replaced Belasyse as Member of Parliament for Thirsk in 1645.

paragraph: By the time the Second English Civil War broke out in 1648, Francis was a colonel and played a significant role in the campaign that ended with the defeat of the Royalist army at Preston in August. He then joined the force besieging Scarborough Castle, a key supply port in the north of England that changed hands seven times between 1642 to 1648. The Parliamentary garrison defected after not being paid and it received substantial Royalist reinforcements, including 300 Walloon mercenaries. The castle surrendered in late December; the increasing bitterness of the conflict was demonstrated by the killing of a number of Walloon prisoners, who were 'mistaken for Irish.'

paragraph: The increasing bitterness of the conflict was demonstrated by the killing of a number Between 1642 to 1648, England suffered an estimated 185,000 deaths from combat or disease, over 3.0% of the population; this compares with 2.6% in 1914-1918, while death rates in Scotland and Ireland were considerably higher. After 1648, Parliamentary leaders like Cromwell and many members of the New Model Army believed Charles could not be trusted and only his death would end the conflict. Lascelles was nominated to the High Court of Justice set up for the trial, as one of the relatively conservative group of property-owning senior military officers known as 'Grandees'.

paragraph: Of the 135 members nominated, only 68 attended, including Lascelles; he was absent when sentence was passed and did not sign Charles' death warrant, acts that later proved extremely important. Charles was executed on 30 January 1649 and Francis then participated in the Crowmwellian conquest of Ireland.

paragraph: The 1641 Irish Rebellion led to intervention by the Scottish Covenanter government and the English Parliament, although the two parties had different objectives. English participation was financed by the Adventurers Act of March 1642, approved by Charles and Parliament shortly before the civil war began in August. It raised loans that would be repaid by confiscating and reselling lands held by the Irish rebels and enforcing it was one of the primary objectives of Cromwell's invasion.

paragraph: There were a number of different tranches between 1642 to 1647 and although Lascelles is not listed as a subscriber, many of the individuals represented syndicates of investors, while there was an active resale market. Lands were only allocated in 1652 with the Act of Settlement but many subscribers sold their interests prior to that. It seems likely Francis was involved, since he and his brother Thomas had business interests in Ulster and a branch of the family was established in Killough, County Down.

paragraph: Lascelles kept his seat as MP for Thirsk in the 1648 to 1653 Rump Parliament, so-called because the Army purged those members it considered hostile. He retained it until Parliament was dissolved in April 1653 and was one of the 140 members nominated by the Army Council to the Barebones Parliament, which was in place from July to December 1653. After elections were restored in 1654, he was returned as MP for Yorkshire & North Riding in the First and Second Protectorate Parliaments.

paragraph: When Cromwell died in 1659, it soon became clear his son and successor Richard could not govern and Lascelles was one of those who negotiated with General George Monck to restore the monarchy. The Commonwealth ended in 1660 with the return of Charles II to the throne and in April, Francis and his brother Thomas were elected to the Convention Parliament as Members of Parliament for Northallerton. However, in July he and Thomas deemed it prudent to resign their seats and go into exile in the Dutch Republic.

paragraph: Despite his role in the Restoration, as a member of the High Court that tried Charles I, he was technically one of the Regicides who were excluded from the Indemnity and Oblivion Act. Many were condemned to be hung, drawn and quartered, while the corpses of Cromwell, Bradshaw and Ireton were dug up and dragged to Tyburn gallows. Francis was saved partly because he was absent during sentencing but also because ministers grew concerned by public reaction to the deaths. Even Pepys, who was closely connected to the new regime, recorded his admiration for the conduct of Thomas Harrison at his execution in October 1660.

paragraph: The Lascelles were indemnified and allowed to return home, although Francis was fined and perpetually barred from holding public office. In December 1662, Francis was accused of being involved in the so-called 'Lascelles Plot,' a conspiracy of former New Model Army soldiers and radicals centred on Northallerton; this proved to be a fabrication by government informers, while the actual Rising in October 1663 quickly collapsed.

paragraph: Francis died at Stank Hall in November 1667.

paragraph: Virgil Moorefield

paragraph: Virgil Moorefield (born August 9, 1956) is a composer and intermedia artist based in Rüschlikon, Switzerland.

paragraph: Moorefield's work focuses primarily on live acoustic performance, electronic processing of acoustic signals, and live visual music ("Five Ideas About the Relation of Sight and Sound"). CDs of his composer-led ensembles have been released on several labels, including Tzadik, Cuneiform, and Innova. His compositions are informed by his identity as a drummer. He is also the author of "The Producer as Composer", published by MIT Press.

paragraph: Section::::Biography.

paragraph: Moorefield was born into a family of musicians and teachers. At the age of five, he began drumming. By the time he was ten, he spoke three languages fluently, the result of having gone to public elementary schools in Italy, the United States, and Switzerland. Moorefield attended the American School in Zürich, giving various performances as a drummer-composer in Zürich at the age of 17. He then received a B.A. and an M.A. in English from Columbia University, where he was a student of Edward Said. In 1979, Moorefield moved to the East Village of New York City and began a career as a composer, teaching himself along the way. His first recording, Transformations, scored for big band with electric guitars and horns, appeared in 1983. In the mid-Eighties, he began performing with rock bands such as Damage and K-Martians, which led to a stint with experimental rock band Swans. Around the same time, Moorefield joined the Glenn Branca Ensemble, touring and recording with them until 2008. Beginning in 1994, Moorefield has released CDs of his composer-led ensembles on various labels. In the early Nineties, he led a nine-piece group that performed meticulously notated avant-rock in Europe and the U.S. For performances at various festivals in the mid-Nineties as well as on his Tzadik Records release, Moorefield experimented with a loosely structured hybrid between compositional and improvisational processes, coining the term "comprovisation" to describe his work of that period. In 1998 Moorefield received an M.F.A. in composition from Princeton University, where he studied with Paul Lansky, and a Ph.D. from the same institution in 2001. His dissertation, "The Producer As Composer", was published in expanded form as a hardcover (2005) and paperback (2010) by MIT Press. In the early 2000s, Moorefield began writing immersive intermedia works, at first collaboratively, and then as large-scale compositions. In 2013 he released a DVD of a large scale piece performed on three continents, "Five Ideas About the Relation of Sight and Sound".

paragraph: Dudley L. Poston Jr.

paragraph: Dudley L. Poston Jr. is an American academic whose areas of study include demographics, human ecology, and sociology.

paragraph: Section::::Early and personal life.

paragraph: Dudley L. Poston Jr. was born in San Francisco, California on 29 November 1940 to Dudley Louis Poston, Sr. and Kathryn (Kara) Poston. He and his sister, Kathleen Poston Wood, were born into a very large Irish Catholic Family who all lived within a few blocks of each other in San Francisco, CA. Poston married Patricia Mary Joyce Poston in San Francisco, California in 1963. The Postons have two children, Nancy Kathleen Poston Espey and Dudley L. Poston III, a son-in-law Richard Espey, and three grandchildren, David Espey, Kara Espey and Daniel Espey.

Among his military honors and awards are the Bronze Star, and the Army Commendation Medal, with one Oak leaf cluster, both awarded in 1970, for his service in Vietnam.

paragraph: Section::::Education.

paragraph: Poston attended St. Gabriel's Grammar School in San Francisco. He attended St. Joseph's Seminary in Mountain View, CA, for his first few years of high school, and then transferred to St. Ignatius High School (in San Francisco) where he graduated in 1958. He attended the University of San Francisco graduating in 1963 with a B.A. degree in sociology. The intellectual rigor of being taught by Jesuits at St Ignatius and the University of San Francisco has had a profound effect on his education and love of learning.

paragraph: He received his M.A. degree in sociology in 1967 from San Francisco State College and obtained his Ph.D. degree in sociology in 1968 from the University of Oregon; Eugene, Oregon. While at San Francisco State College, Poston took two sociology courses from Dr. David Dodge who encouraged Poston to pursue his doctoral degree at the University of Oregon. While at the University of Oregon, Poston took a demography course from Dr. Walter Martin, and this was a major influence on Poston’s decision to become a demographer.

paragraph: In his first years as an assistant professor at the University of Texas in the early 1970s, Poston cites his senior colleague Dr. Harley Browning as a mentor and a tremendous help to his continued development as a researcher and working with Parker Frisbie as having broadened his demographic and ecological horizons immensely.

paragraph: Section::::Career.

paragraph: Poston’s research interests include demography, human ecology, and the sociology of gender, with special attention to the populations of China, Taiwan, and Korea. He is the only non-Chinese person to ever be elected to be President of the North American Chinese Sociologists Association, serving for 2 years, from 1995 to 1997. Further, Poston has made significant contributions to the emerging field of the Social Demography of Sexual Orientation. He also loves to mentor students and has a lengthy and noteworthy list of previous students.

paragraph: Poston served as faculty at the Population Research Center, The University of Texas at Austin' Associate Director (1970–74); Acting Director (1974–75); Research Associate (1975–77); Associate Director (1977–81); Director (1981–1986); and Research Associate (1987–1988).

In 1987 he was Visiting Research Professor of Sociology, National Taiwan University, Taipei, Taiwan, Republic of China.

paragraph: "Dudley Poston is one of the country's premier and pioneering social demographers. For example, in recent decades he early pioneered in research work on the demography of China. Poston has done much research and teaching that has helped China to develop a professional core of demographic teaching/research and that has also assisted US social scientists and policymakers in accurately understanding the demographic realities of China and the global impacts of shifts in Chinese population and economic patterns, past and present." Joe Feagin, Ella McFadden Professor of Sociology, Texas A&M University.

paragraph: Section::::Publications.

paragraph: Kevin Dowd

paragraph: Kevin Dowd is an Irish/British economist, having research interests in private money and free banking, monetary systems and macroeconomics, financial risk measurement and management, risk disclosure, political economy and policy analysis, and pensions and mortality modelling. As of this date, he is a partner in Cobden Partners based in London, and Professor of Finance and Economics at Durham University Business School.

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

paragraph: Dowd was born in Middlesbrough in 1958, attended St Mary's College, Middlesbrough and went to the University of Sheffield in 1977 to study economics. He holds a BA (first class honours) in economics from the University of Sheffield, an MA in economics from the University of Western Ontario, and a PhD in macroeconomics from the University of Sheffield.

paragraph: Section::::Career.

paragraph: Dowd is affiliated with the Cato Institute; is a Senior Fellow at The Cobden Centre, an "independent educational charity founded… to undertake research into economic[s] and political science"; is affiliated with the Institute of Economic Affairs; the Istituto Bruno Leoni; the Independent Institute; and the Pensions Institute.

paragraph: He has held previous positions with the Ontario Economic Council in Toronto, Sheffield Hallam University, the University of Sheffield, and the University of Nottingham.

paragraph: Section::::Brexit.

paragraph: Kevin Dowd is a member of the think tank, Economists for Free Trade, and a supporter of Brexit. He is a regular contributor for the pro-Brexit lobby group Brexit Central.

paragraph: Section::::Published work.

paragraph: Dowd's main subject of research is private money and free banking—monetary and financial systems that operate without any government intervention and in the absence of any central bank. A related focus of his work is on central banking and other forms of state intervention into economies, most particularly, on deposit insurance, the lender of last resort and bank capital adequacy regulation. He has repeatedly called for the abolition of central banks and an end to state intervention in the financial system.

paragraph: He advocates competitive monetary systems. His work, "New Private Monies—a Bit-Part Player?", is supportive of private gold money systems such as the Liberty Dollar and e-gold, and expresses measured support for Bitcoin. Dowd is a supporter of commodity-based monetary systems such as the gold standard and is a critic of fiat-based money issued by a central bank.

paragraph: Dowd takes a largely Austrian approach to economics, but one that is heavily influenced by the Quantity Theory of Money and the work of monetarists such as Milton Friedman and David Laidler. He supports laissez-faire, and is critical of Keynesian and other interventionist schools of economics.

paragraph: He has proposed a free-market approach to the resolution of the ongoing financial crisis, based on extended personal liability for senior bankers, the exit of the state from the financial system and the restoration of a sound monetary standard. To this end, he has also advised Steve Baker, the Conservative MP for Wycombe, on his two Private Member's Bills to resolve the crisis: the Financial Services (Regulation of Derivatives) Bill, which sought to restore sound accounting standards, and the Financial Institutions (Reform) Bill, which called for radical reforms to the banking system and an end to state involvement in banking.

paragraph: Dowd has repeatedly argued that the Global Financial Crisis has never been resolved and that the policies adopted since 2007 have been ineffective, illegal and counter-productive. He believes that a renewed outbreak of the crisis is therefore likely, with the prospects of financial collapse, high inflation and government insolvency around much of the developed world.

paragraph: Dowd has also written extensively on financial risk measurement and management. He has argued that most financial modelling is conceptually invalid because it is based on a naïve 'scientistic' belief that economic systems can be modelled using quantitative methods inappropriately imported from natural sciences such as physics. He is particularly critical of the widely used Value-at-Risk or VaR risk measure, the assumptions inherent to, and so the use of the "normal" or Gaussian distribution in risk management, and the use of financial risk models for regulatory purposes.

paragraph: Dowd is the co-inventor of the PensionMetrics Defined-Contribution (DC) stochastic pension model, and the Stochastic Lifestyling asset allocation strategy. He and David Blake have proposed a set of good principles in the modelling of DC pension plans, and with Debbie Harrison, Blake and Dowd have recently published two reports into the state of the DC pensions market in the UK: "Caveat Venditor", which advocated that pensions should be governed by the principle of seller not buyer beware, and "VfM", which examined value for money in the UK pensions market. These reports were critical of the high charges, over-complexity and lack of transparency in the UK pensions industry.

paragraph: In the life actuarial field, Dowd and collaborators have written on the financial implications of mortality and longevity risk. They invented survivor swaps, survivor swaptions, the CBD mortality model, and the gravity two-population mortality model.

paragraph: Dowd also works with Cobden Partners, a sovereign advisory service based in London, and is a founding member of the Sofia Business School, based in Sofia, Bulgaria.

paragraph: Dae Dae

paragraph: Marquavis Goolsby (born July 29, 1992), better known by his stage name Dae Dae, is an American rapper from Atlanta, Georgia. He is known for his debut single "Wat U Mean (Aye, Aye, Aye)."

paragraph: Section::::Early life.

paragraph: Dae Dae grew up in Atlanta’s Boulevard Fourth Ward. He found early interest in music at about 8 years old, when his estranged father, John Burton, bought him Bow Wow and Lil Romeo CDs. At age fourteen, Dae Dae dropped out of school and became a father for the first time. Still interested in music and rapping, Dae Dae's father converted a room in their home to a recording studio for him. Shortly after, police arrested his father for having drugs in the home, and confiscated the studio equipment when his father was unable to provide receipts for their purchase. Left with nothing, Dae Dae quickly got a job doing concrete and flooring work, saving all of his earned money to record at a local studio and participate in weekly open mic nights. He eventually met his manager Anthem, who knew Atlanta based producer Nitti, and was offered a record deal from Nitti Beatz Recordings.

paragraph: Section::::Career.

paragraph: Dae Dae released his first single, “Wat U Mean (Aye, Aye, Aye)” in 2015. He wrote the song while at work, freestyling lines in his head and writing them in his iPhone before calling his producer and recording the song later that day. After signing with 300 Entertainment in 2016, Dae Dae released a mixtape titled 4 Reasons, which features cameos from artists such as Rich Homie Quan. In February 2016, Dae Dae released the single “Spend It”, which was later remixed by Lil Wayne and 2 Chainz. The song was produced by Young Trill Beatz. A music video for "Spend It" was released in November 2016. Dae Dae joined Young Thug's May 2016 Hi-Tunes tour throughout the United States along with TM88 and Rich The Kid. An official remix of "Wat U Mean" featuring Lil Yachty was released in July 2016. Dae Dae's third single "Dej Loaf" was released in August 2016. In January 2017, he released the single "Dem Days" and was named one of FACT Magazine's 10 Rappers to Watch in 2017.

paragraph: Section::::Career.:Success of "Wat U Mean".

paragraph: The popularity of Dae Dae’s “Wat U Mean” had been steadily increasing since its 2015 release, especially after being remixed by Young Dro. The song was the top song discovered via Shazam in Atlanta in early 2016. In May 2016, a video of a dancer named Matthew King dancing to the song went viral via Twitter, further increasing its exposure and popularity. During the week of June 11, 2016, it was featured on Billboard's Twitter Emerging Artists chart at #24. He performed the song live at the 2016 BET Hip Hop Awards.

paragraph: Louis-Marie-Joseph Maximilian Caffarelli du Falga (February 13, 1756 – 27 April 1799) was a French commander and scholar. His younger brothers Marie-François Auguste de Caffarelli du Falga (1766–1849) and Louis-Marie Joseph Caffarelli (1760–1845) were also generals.

paragraph: Section::::Life.

paragraph: The oldest of ten children, he refused to exercise the right of the first-born son to the majority of his parents' wealth. He served under Jean Baptiste Kléber in the army of Sambre-et-Meuse, losing his left leg to a cannonball on December 17, 1795, but continuing in the army with a wooden leg, and joined Kléber on the Egyptian campaign.

paragraph: Accompanying Napoleon on the French invasion of Egypt, he was present when Napoleon landed at Valletta to occupy Malta on 12 June 1798. Like the other French generals, he was impressed by its defences, saying to Napoleon, "Upon my word, General, it is lucky there is someone in the town to open the gates for us!" A saying arose about him among the expeditionary troops in France: "Caffa doesn't give a damn what happens; he's always sure to have one foot in France." He was elected a member of the Institut d'Égypte's political economy section on February 13, 1796, in the class of moral and political science, and formed part of the commission for drafting the Institute's regulations. He also accompanied Napoleon on the surveys to trace the route of what later become the Suez Canal.

paragraph: He then had to have his right arm amputated when his elbow was smashed by a bullet during a new assault on Acre on April 9, 1799. He was just starting to learn to write with his left hand when gangrene struck, causing a fever that killed him. Napoleon wrote of him in the order of the day: "Our universal regrets accompany General Caffarelli to the grave; the army is losing one of its bravest leaders, Egypt one of its legislators, France one of its best citizens, and science, an illustrious scholar." He is the hero of Youssef Chahine's film "Adieu Bonaparte".

paragraph: Robert Ronald Leisy

paragraph: Robert Ronald Leisy (March 1, 1945 – December 2, 1969) was a United States Army officer and a recipient of the United States military's highest decoration—the Medal of Honor—for his actions in the Vietnam War.

paragraph: Section::::Biography.

paragraph: Leisy, from Seattle, Washington, was a University of Washington graduate, commissioned a second lieutenant through Army Infantry Officer Candidate School. By December 2, 1969, he was serving as a platoon leader in Company B, 1st Battalion, 8th Cavalry Regiment, 1st Cavalry Division. During a firefight on that day, in Phuoc Long Province, Republic of Vietnam, he used his body to shield a fellow soldier from the blast of an incoming rocket-propelled grenade. Severely wounded, Leisy refused medical attention until others had been treated first. He succumbed to his wounds and was posthumously awarded the Medal of Honor for his actions.

paragraph: Leisy, age 24 at his death, was buried in Evergreen-Washelli Memorial Park, Seattle, Washington.

paragraph: Section::::Medal of Honor citation.

paragraph: Second Lieutenant Leisy's official Medal of Honor citation reads:

paragraph: For conspicuous gallantry and intrepidity in action at the risk of his life above and beyond the call of duty. 2d Lt. Leisy, Infantry, Company B, distinguished himself while serving as platoon leader during a reconnaissance mission. One of his patrols became heavily engaged by fire from a numerically superior enemy force located in a well-entrenched bunker complex. As 2d Lt. Leisy deployed the remainder of his platoon to rescue the beleaguered patrol, the platoon also came under intense enemy fire from the front and both flanks. In complete disregard for his safety, 2d Lt. Leisy moved from position to position deploying his men to effectively engage the enemy. Accompanied by his radio operator he moved to the front and spotted an enemy sniper in a tree in the act of firing a rocket-propelled grenade at them. Realizing there was neither time to escape the grenade nor shout a warning, 2d Lt. Leisy unhesitatingly, and with full knowledge of the consequences, shielded the radio operator with his body and absorbed the full impact of the explosion. This valorous act saved the life of the radio operator and protected other men of his platoon who were nearby from serious injury. Despite his mortal wounds, 2d Lt. Leisy calmly and confidently continued to direct the platoon's fire. When medical aid arrived, 2d Lt. Leisy valiantly refused attention until the other seriously wounded were treated. His display of extraordinary courage and exemplary devotion to duty provided the inspiration and leadership that enabled his platoon to successfully withdraw without further casualties. 2d Lt. Leisy's gallantry at the cost of his life are in keeping with the highest traditions of the military service and reflect great credit on him, his unit, and the U.S. Army.

paragraph: Section::::University of Washington Medal of Honor Memorial.

paragraph: At the University of Washington in February 2006, a resolution recommending a memorial be erected to honor fighter ace and alumnus Pappy Boyington for his service during World War II was raised and defeated during a meeting of the student senate. Some people did not believe the resolution's sponsor had fully addressed the financial and logistical problems of installing a memorial, and some were questioning the widely held assumption that all warriors and acts of war are automatically worthy of memorialization. The story was picked up by some blogs and conservative news outlets, focusing on two statements made by student senators during the meeting. One student senator, Ashley Miller, said that the UW already had many monuments to "rich, white men" (Boyington claimed partial Sioux ancestry and was not rich); another, Jill Edwards, questioned whether the UW should memorialize a person who killed others, summarized in the minutes as saying "she didn't believe a member of the Marine Corps was an example of the sort of person UW wanted to produce."

paragraph: After its defeat, a new version of the original resolution was submitted that called for a memorial to all eight UW alumni who received the Medal of Honor after attending the UW. On April 4, 2006, the resolution passed by a vote of 64 to 14 with several abstentions, on a roll call vote. The University of Washington Medal of Honor memorial was constructed at the south end of Memorial Way (17th Ave NE), north of Red Square, in the interior of a traffic circle between Parrington and Kane Halls (). Privately funded, it was completed in time for a Veterans Day dedication in November 2009. In addition to Greg Boyington, it honors Deming Bronson, Bruce Crandall, Robert Galer, John Hawk, Robert Leisy, William Nakamura, and Archie Van Winkle.

paragraph: Milton A. Lee

paragraph: Milton Arthur Lee (February 28, 1949 – April 26, 1968) was a United States Army soldier and a recipient of the United States military's highest decoration—the Medal of Honor—for his actions in the Vietnam War.

paragraph: Section::::Biography.

paragraph: A native of Shreveport, Louisiana, Lee graduated from Harlandale High School and joined the Army in 1967 in San Antonio, Texas. By April 26, 1968, was serving as a private first class in Company B, 2nd Battalion, 502nd Infantry Regiment, 1st Brigade, 101st Airborne Division (Airmobile). During a firefight on that day, near Phu Bai in Thừa Thiên Province, Republic of Vietnam, Lee single-handedly destroyed an enemy emplacement and was mortally wounded while attacking a second.

paragraph: Lee, aged 19 at his death, was buried in Fort Sam Houston National Cemetery in San Antonio.

paragraph: Lee Gymnasium at Fort Campbell, Kentucky, is named in His honor.

paragraph: Section::::Medal of Honor citation.

paragraph: Private Lee's official Medal of Honor citation reads:

paragraph: For conspicuous gallantry and intrepidity in action at the risk of his life above and beyond the call of duty. Pfc. Lee distinguished himself near the city of Phu Bai in the province of Thua Thien. Pfc. Lee was serving as the radio telephone operator with the 3d platoon, Company B. As lead element for the company, the 3d platoon received intense surprise hostile fire from a force of North Vietnamese Army regulars in well-concealed bunkers. With 50 percent casualties, the platoon maneuvered to a position of cover to treat their wounded and reorganize, while Pfc. Lee moved through the heavy enemy fire giving lifesaving first aid to his wounded comrades. During the subsequent assault on the enemy defensive positions, Pfc. Lee continuously kept close radio contact with the company commander, relaying precise and understandable orders to his platoon leader. While advancing with the front rank toward the objective, Pfc. Lee observed 4 North Vietnamese soldiers with automatic weapons and a rocket launcher lying in wait for the lead element of the platoon. As the element moved forward, unaware of the concealed danger, Pfc. Lee immediately and with utter disregard for his own personal safety, passed his radio to another soldier and charged through the murderous fire. Without hesitation he continued his assault, overrunning the enemy position, killing all occupants and capturing 4 automatic weapons and a rocket launcher. Pfc. Lee continued his 1-man assault on the second position through a heavy barrage of enemy automatic weapons fire. Grievously wounded, he continued to press the attack, crawling forward into a firing position and delivering accurate covering fire to enable his platoon to maneuver and destroy the position. Not until the position was overrun did Pfc. Lee falter in his steady volume of fire and succumb to his wounds. Pfc. Lee's heroic actions saved the lives of the lead element and were instrumental in the destruction of the key position of the enemy defense. Pfc. Lee's gallantry at the risk of life above and beyond the call of duty are in keeping with the highest traditions of the military service and reflect great credit on himself, the 502d Infantry, and the U.S. Army.

paragraph: Specialist Law's official Medal of Honor citation reads:

paragraph: For conspicuous gallantry and intrepidity in action at the risk of his life above and beyond the call of duty. Sp4 Law distinguished himself while serving with Company I. While on a long-range reconnaissance patrol in Tinh Phuoc Thanh province, Sp4 Law and 5 comrades made contact with a small enemy patrol. As the opposing elements exchanged intense fire, he maneuvered to a perilously exposed position flanking his comrades and began placing suppressive fire on the hostile troops. Although his team was hindered by a low supply of ammunition and suffered from an unidentified irritating gas in the air, Sp4 Law's spirited defense and challenging counterassault rallied his fellow soldiers against the well-equipped hostile troops. When an enemy grenade landed in his team's position, Sp4 Law, instead of diving into the safety of a stream behind him, threw himself on the grenade to save the lives of his comrades. Sp4 Law's extraordinary courage and profound concern for his fellow soldiers were in keeping with the highest traditions of the military service and reflect great credit on himself, his unit, and the U.S. Army.

paragraph: Billy Lane Lauffer (October 20, 1945 – September 21, 1966) was a United States Army soldier and a recipient of the United States military's highest decoration—the Medal of Honor—for his actions in the Vietnam War.

paragraph: In honor of him, Billy Lane Lauffer Middle School was built in 2005 in Tucson, Arizona.

paragraph: Section::::Biography.

paragraph: Lauffer joined the Army from Phoenix, Arizona in 1962, and by September 21, 1966 was serving as a private first class in Company C, 2nd Battalion, 5th Cavalry Regiment, 1st Air Cavalry Division. During a firefight on that day, near Bon Son in Binh Dinh Province, Republic of Vietnam, he single-handedly charged an enemy emplacement, creating a diversion so his comrades could move their wounded to safety. Mortally wounded in the charge, Lauffer was posthumously awarded the Medal of Honor for his actions.

paragraph: Private Lauffer's official Medal of Honor citation reads:

paragraph: For conspicuous gallantry and intrepidity in action at the risk of his life above and beyond the call of duty. Pfc. Lauffer's squad, a part of Company C, was suddenly struck at close range by an intense machine gun crossfire from 2 concealed bunkers astride the squad's route. Pfc. Lauffer, the second man in the column, saw the lead man fall and noted that the remainder of the squad was unable to move. Two comrades, previously wounded and being carried on litters, were lying helpless in the beaten zone of the enemy fire. Reacting instinctively, Pfc. Lauffer quickly engaged both bunkers with fire from his rifle, but when the other squad members attempted to maneuver under his covering fire, the enemy fusillade increased in volume and thwarted every attempt to move. Seeing this and his wounded comrades helpless in the open, Pfc. Lauffer rose to his feet and charged the enemy machine gun positions, firing his weapon and drawing the enemy's attention. Keeping the enemy confused and off balance, his 1-man assault provided the crucial moments for the wounded point man to crawl to a covered position, the squad to move the exposed litter patients to safety, and his comrades to gain more advantageous positions. Pfc. Lauffer was fatally wounded during his selfless act of courage and devotion to his fellow soldiers. His gallantry at the cost of his life served as an inspiration to his comrades and saved the lives of an untold number of his companions. His actions are in keeping with the highest traditions of military service and reflect great credit upon himself, his unit, and the U.S. Army.

paragraph: William of Jülich

paragraph: William of Jülich (The Younger) (Dutch: "Willem van Gulik (de Jongere)") (unknown – August 18, 1304) was one of the Flemish noblemen that opposed the annexation policies of the French king Philip IV – together with Pieter de Coninck.

paragraph: He was also archdeacon at the prince-bishopric of Liège. William was the son of William the Elder and grandson of William IV, Count of Jülich, and of Maria, a daughter of Guy of Dampierre, Count of Flanders and Matilda of Bethune. His connection to the Flemish count and his wish to avenge the imprisoning of his uncles Robert III of Bethune and by the French king presumably explains his support for the Flemish resistance. An extra incentive for this support could have been the murder of his uncle Walram, Count of Jülich by the French after the Battle of Bulskamp in 1297. The Flemish resistance led to the unexpected victory over the French during the Battle of the Golden Spurs in 1302. William of Jülich gained another victory against the French in the Battle of Arques (1303).

paragraph: In 1304 however, the French king returned with an army and defeated the Flemings during the Battle of Mons-en-Pévèle. William died during this battle.

paragraph: Eduard Arning

paragraph: Eduard Christian Arning (9 June 1855 – 20 August 1936) was an English-German dermatologist and microbiologist from Manchester.

paragraph: Arning received his early education from private tutors and at the Gelehrtenschule des Johanneums in Hamburg. In 1879 he obtained his medical doctorate from Strassburg, and afterwards was a medical assistant in Strassburg under Adolf Kussmaul (1822-1902) and Oswald Kohts (1844-1912), and later in Berlin under Oskar Lassar (1849-1907). From 1884 to 1886, he researched leprosy in the Hawaiian Islands. In 1887 he became a specialist of dermatology and venereal disease in Hamburg, where from 1906 he served as physician-in-chief in the department of skin and venereal diseases at the "Allgemeines Krankenhaus St. Georg". In 1919 he became an associate professor of dermatology at the University of Hamburg.

paragraph: Arning is known today for his medical studies done at the leper colony on Molokai. In 1884 he arrived in Hawaii under the sponsorship of King Kalakaua. He is remembered for his experiments involving contagiousness of leprosy. In Hawaii, he purposely infected a convicted murderer named Keanu with leprosy, by suturing a leproma the size of a hen's egg into an incision in the man's arm.

paragraph: Today at the Hawaiian Historical Society Library in Honolulu are reproductions of 237 rare glass-plate photographs that Arning created during his stay in Hawaii. The originals were discovered in 1994 at the Museum für Völkerkunde Hamburg.

paragraph: His name is associated with an anti-fungal solution known as "Arningsche tinktur" (Arning's tincture).

paragraph: Gud (music producer)

paragraph: Carl-Mikael Göran "Micke" Berlander (born August 29, 1995), known professionally as Gud, is a Swedish DJ and producer best known as a member of rapper Yung Lean's Stockholm-based group Sad Boys. He began producing at the age of twelve, making psychedelic trance music, which heavily influenced his sonic palette. His production as a part of Sad Boys has been well received.

paragraph: Outside of his role in Sad Boys, he has released an extended play "Beautiful, Wonderful", and has acted as a producer for several acts including Halsey and Deniro Farrar. He has also remixed several songs for other artists such as Jacques Greene, Kacy Hill, Meek Mill and Tinashe. These remixes have also garnered a positive critical response from publications including Pigeons & Planes and "The Fader".

paragraph: Section::::Personal life.

paragraph: Berlander is part of a mixed race family, since his Nigerian grandfather met his grandmother, who was a Swede, in London. He said that his identity of his mixed race made feel like he was "on this little island". Following his parents' divorce when he was ten, his dad and his older sister moved to a Stockholm suburb different to where he was living at the time. Berlander, as well as the other members of the Sad Boys group, have described living in Stockholm as "boring" and "miserable". While he has resided in the city for most of his life, Berlander had once lived in a small urban area called Gnesta, which he opined to be a Swedish equivalent to Kentucky: "Stupid people and alcohol problems, I don't know. It sucks of over there. It's so boring." He said that his mother "liked to spoil me." He did not do well in school, dropping out to pursue a career in music, and his father has always been mixed on this decision; he had always encouraged him to "just go to school and be a good person", saying that “You can't make music without a guitar.” However, Berlander said in a 2014 interview that his dad had been getting a little more supportive and into what he had been doing so far. He also claimed in that same interview that he is sober, although, he said that he was wanting to try promethazine "because it's medicine. But the weeds and the speeds – no, not that."

paragraph: Section::::Sad Boys.

paragraph: As Yung Gud described in how he first met Yung Lean, "My friend was fucking his friend at the moment. And she introduced him to my friend and me and basically that's how I met him. We'd drank some beer in a park and were like, “We like the same music, we should do something sometime.”" The two had always thought of creating material together, but the two didn't start doing so until around October 2012 with the track “Oreomilkshake": "I think we were drunk in his basement and we made “Oreomilkshake.” Then I just made some beats when I had the time." He explained how the name of Sad Boys came about: "I was going to buy some clothes at a store with Yung Sherman, and it was closed, and I got sad, and basically that's that." As for the stage name Yung Gud, Berlander came up with simply the word Gud, then decided to change it into Yung Gud to make it funnier, which he described as "a stupid decision." While he does hope to collaborate with other artists, he said in 2014 that he has been very much focused with his work for Sad Boys and his solo material. Yung Gud's production for Yung Lean's works has garnered favorable responses from critics, with some spotlighting how it complements Lean's rapping, and according to a journalist, his "lush" and "melodic" beats were a major part of the listeners' appeal towards Lean.

paragraph: Yung Gud has admitted to liking Yung Lean, and that he has gotten more "secure" as a rapper as time goes on. He thinks that "He makes people feel some type of way". He disagrees with Lean's common comparison to Lil B, although he does comprehend why this comparison is made. However, he has also said that "there is always something wrong about him. It's like something wrong about the whole Sad Boys thing. People get really, really angry or really happy when they hear it. That's his main attraction. He's going to make people feel some type of way."

paragraph: While touring with the Sad Boys during the popularity of Yung Lean's album "Unknown Memory", Berlander began suffering from abuse from using stimulants like cocaine and xanax as other members of the group did, which led to him not "recognize [himself] anymore". This led him to return to Sweden to spend time with his family.

paragraph: Section::::Solo career.

paragraph: A "Complex" magazine critic made note of the lack of popularity of Yung Gud's career outside of Sad Boys, writing that "There’s no reason this should be on the low, though, because the works are fire."

paragraph: Yung Gud made a track called "Crushed", a song that's part of a genre he made up called "crushcore". This was "So people won’t call it post-witchhouse-chill-step or dub-core with emo influences. Or they won’t say, “This track is cool, but can you make it more based?” It's like, “This is crushcore. Fuck off.”" On 5 June 2014, Yung Gud announced that he had finished his debut extended play the past week, and had been looking for a label to release it: "I don't want to keep people waiting anymore. I don't want to keep myself waiting." He had also stated he was thinking of naming the record either "Wonderful" or "Beautiful". The now-titled four-track "Wonderful, Beautiful" was available for streaming worldwide via "The Fader" on 24 November 2014. That same day, the Sky Team label released it in European stores that same day, and to markets in the United States on 25 November. As Yung Gud described, "I've always wanted to make a product of some sort. So with this EP, I'm finally selling a specific sound and look to the people that have been supporting my music for the past year and a half." "Beautiful, Wonderful" received a positive review from Andrew Ryce of Resident Advisor, who scored the release a 3.5 out of five: "His solo tracks have a stargazing majesty to them, but the melodies are nailed down with grandiose percussion that makes it feel almost symphonic." The EP was promoted with a ten-day European tour lasting from 12–22 November.

paragraph: On 22 June 2016, Vice Media's electronic music channel Thump premiered "Body Horror," Yung Gud's first original track in two years. It, according to Thump, is an "obfuscated, hazy R&B through a grab bag of blemishing distortion techniques, decorating it with light discordance and snippets of ravey synth patches for texture. Fittingly, it shares its name with a style of fiction known for its gut-churning corporeal thrills." Berlander also changed his stage name from Yung Gud to simply Gud, "a symbol of his development and growth as an artist" according to Hypetrak.

paragraph: Section::::Collaborations.

paragraph: Yung Gud collaborated with S-Type of the LuckyMe record label for the song "Fire", which was released on "The Fader" on 9 February 2015 as a single off S-Type's EP "SV8". "Fire" was also the opener for Astrid Anderson's "FW15" show, which S-Type soundtracked for. The two talked about making a track together when they first met each other at one of the Sad Boys concerts, and Gud made some drum parts and sent them to S-Type for him to "do my thing with" two weeks later. Production credits have included rapper Deniro Farrar's single "World On My Shoulders 3.0", which premiered on 27 April 2015, "Blue Prada" by Prada Mane and additional production on "Strange Love", a track by singer Halsey off the deluxe edition of her debut album "Badlands".

paragraph: Section::::Remixes.

paragraph: In 2014, Yung Gud released two remixes of "No Excuse", a track by Canadian producer Jacques Greene. On 30 May 2014, "The Fader" premiered the recut that was a part of a remix extended play for Greene's three-track record "Phantom Vibrate". The magazine described it as a "ecstatically pattering" rework of the song that alleviates "the jagged turns and gun shot sounds of the original to reveal its lushest sonic innards." Joe Price, writing for "Complex" magazine's website Pigeons & Planes, said that with this remix, Yung Gud had "proven once again that he has legs beyond what many coin as “meme rap.”" Later on, Yung Gud did a much more harsh-sounding "VIP" remix of the track, which starts off alike to Yung Gud's first remix, and then it dives "into a deep chasm of rumbling bass complete with a hammering rhythm that rarely lets up", Price wrote. It was issued on 20 December, garnering 800,000 plays in eighteen days on SoundCloud. Yung Gud's "spacey and dreamy" re-edit for "2 On" by Tinashe, which came out on 6 September 2014, was reviewed by a "Complex" magazine critic who highlighted its "interesting drum work" and Tinashe's vocal performance fitting with the beat.

paragraph: In 2015, Yung Gud released two remixes. On 28 June, Yung Gud did a remix of rapper Meek Mill's track "Monster". Constant Gardner of Pigeons & Planes made note of the re-cut's "chest-shaking" bass, a layer of "icy" synth lines and "twinkling" glockenspiel-style sounds, and also said that "This is Meek Mill taken from the streets of Philly to his throne in a sparkling Arctic ice palace, and it’s awesome." Yung Gud remixed Kacy Hill's "Foreign Fields", which the re-edit was released on 30 September as a promotional single of her debut EP "Bloo". A Pigeons & Planes journalist wrote that Yung Gud's reworking turns the original song "into a grand experience", opining that it takes it into "new heights with heavier basslines and haunting production." A Stuff.co.nz critic compared it to Katy Perry's track "Dark Horse" due to its nature sound effects and a "marching band drum beat".

paragraph: Section::::Artistry and influences.

paragraph: Berlander has described his influences of music as generally "left-field". He and his sister first listened to nu metal bands like Slipknot and Korn since he was eight or nine years old. He then got into electronic music and was producing psychedelic trance since he was twelve, which the genre has always been an influence for his works along with other styles of music involving ambient. However, he said in a 2014 interview that he didn't start listening to hip hop until a couple of years before. He first used a Sony Ericsson music application, and once he was bought an expensive computer by his mother, he started "really making shit" with the program GarageBand before moving on to Fruity Loops and other programs, and now uses Ableton Live. He has stated Lil Wayne, Young Thug, Andre 3000, Nas and Lil Ugly Mane to be his favorite rappers, and hopes to collaborate with Drake, PartyNextDoor, or FKA twigs in the future. Clams Casino has been a common comparison with Yung Gud's works, which he addressed in that, like Yung Lean's frequent juxtaposition with Lil B, "It's their only reference because everything else they listen to is straight hip hop. They don't know all the shit that I hear in Clams Casino. They don't hear what he's influenced by. For me, it's like he's just one of them all." He has explained how often he makes his music:
