paragraph: Matteo Pérez

paragraph: Matteo Pérez de Alesio (1547–1628) was an Italian painter of devotional, historical and maritime subjects during the Mannerist period. He was also known as Matteo da Lecce by virtue of his hometown of Lecce. He spent the majority of his entire artistic career in Peru, where he lived more than 40 years, between 1588 and 1628.

paragraph: Section::::Biography.

paragraph: Matteo Pérez was the son of Antonio de Alessio and Madama Lucente. He was born in Lecce in the Apulia region.

paragraph: Section::::Biography.:Italy, Malta and Seville.

paragraph: He studied under Michelangelo, working on the Sistine Chapel, in the Vatican, painting the "Fall of the Angels" in the facade facing Michelangelo's "Last Judgment". He was a member of the Accademia di San Luca in Rome. He also painted an altarpiece for "Sant'Eligio degli Orefici".

paragraph: He travelled to Naples where he met the artist Pablo Moron, who became his long standing assistant. Perez's works in Rome include the fresco "The Dispute over the Body of Moses" (circa 1574) in the Sistine Chapel; frescoes in the Villa d'Este in Tivoli and the Villa Mondragone in Frascati. He also worked in Malta (from 1576), Seville (in the 1580s) and Lima (from 1589), where he died.

paragraph: The Hall of St Michael and St George, also known as the Throne Room, of the Grandmaster's Palace, Valletta, is decorated with 13 of his frescoes showing the events of the great siege of Malta by the Turks in 1565. He is credited with having introduced mannerism to Malta with his frescoes. These were painted from 1575 to 1581, at the same time as the oil paintings of the same scene, four of which can be found in the Cube Room of the Queen's House, Greenwich, London. Among his other works in Malta there is the Baptism of Christ which was originally the titular painting of the St. John's Co-Cathedral.

paragraph: He migrated to Spain in 1583. He completed a monumental fresco, in 1584, in the cathedral of Seville, representing a giant "St. Christopher carrying the Infant Saviour on his shoulder". He painted in 1587 the same subject for the church of San Miguel, and he also painted in other public edifices at Seville.

paragraph: Section::::Biography.:Peru.

paragraph: Pérez de Alesio came to Lima from Rome, accompanied by his disciple and helper Pedro Pablo Morón whom he had contracted as an apprentice in 1583. Morón was to serve him as a helper with a salary of 200 ducados for the 10 years that the contract would last. In 1593, Pérez de Alesio renewed the contract for another 2 and a half years, giving Morón three times the original agreed upon amount. He renewed the contract again for another two years in 1595.

paragraph: Contracts dating from 1588 to 1628 place Pérez de Alesio in Lima. He brought with him a collection of prints by Dürer and opened a workshop that attracted a number of students and disciples, including Pedro Pablo Morón but also Francisco García (in 1595); the Augustinian friar Francisco Bejarano (in 1599); Domingo Gil from 1600-1603; Cosme Ferrero Figueroa and later his son Adriano; forming what Rubén Vargas Ugarte described as one of the first art academies in Lima. In 1590 he painted a portrait of the viceroy García Hurtado de Mendoza, the fourth Marques of Cañete, and as a result he signed a document as "Painter of his Lordship the Lord Viceroy." In 1592 he achieved the degree of Gentleman of the Company of Arcabuz Horsemen of the "Guard of this Kingdom of Peru"

paragraph: According to a document dated 1591 from the Peruvian Nacional Archive, recorded by the scribe Córdova [f. 376] he contracted to make several paintings for the general Don Antonio Picado for 300 pesos, among these paintings an image of the Virgin Mary on a copper plate; and a full-length portrait of Picado's wife, Doña Mayor Bravo de Saravia. Antonio Picado was procurador for the city of Arequipa, where Pérez de Alesio made the main altarpiece of the church of Saint Dominic. He carved an altarpiece for the Mercedarian church of Huánuco as well.

paragraph: In 1595 Pérez de Alesio acquired from Francisco López, for 350 pesos, 50 portraits of figures that López had brought from Castille. Aside from his art, Pérez de Alesio also tried to make his fortune in the gold and silver mines of Vilcabamba (Cusco) and Huancavelica. Many documents of mercantile and business exchanges survive that attest to his activity in these areas; these documents rarely mention his artistic facet.

paragraph: In 1600 he was charged with the adornment of the main chapel of the church of Saint Dominic of Lima, along with Morón, but some documents suggest that this work had already begun between 1593-1594 thanks to a donation from Don Alonso Picado in support of Pérez de Alesio's work.

paragraph: In 1606, at the request of Juan de Vega, he painted seven paintings for one of the churches of Huánuco. The paintings were of relatively small size and included as themes "Christ with the Cross on his back and his Holy Mother" and another representing Jesus in on the cross.

paragraph: Many biographies describe him as dying in 1616, but a contract of 1628 rejects this theory; in that year he sold an image of the Virgin Mary to the friar Francisco Puche of the order of Saint Benito for the church of Monserrate. In the same year he also decorated, with Morón, the funerary chapel of Captain Bernardo de Villegas and his wife Marcela de Montoya in the church of La Merced in Lima.

paragraph: William Mitford

paragraph: William Mitford (10 February 1744 – 10 February 1827) was an English Member of Parliament and historian, best known for his "The History of Greece" (1784-1810).

paragraph: Section::::Youth.

paragraph: Mitford was the elder of the two sons of John Mitford, a barrister (died 1761) and his wife Philadelphia Reveley. The Mitford family lived at Exbury near Beaulieu, at the edge of the New Forest. Here, at Exbury House, his father John's property, Mitford was born. He was educated at Cheam School, under the picturesque writer William Gilpin, but at the age of fifteen a severe illness led to his being removed, and after two years of idleness Mitford was sent, in July 1761, as a gentleman commoner to Queen's College, Oxford. In this year his father died, and left him the Exbury property and a considerable fortune. Mitford, therefore, being "very much his own master, was easily led to prefer amusement to study." He left Oxford (where the only sign of assiduity he had shown was to attend the lectures of Blackstone) without a degree, in 1763, and proceeded to the Middle Temple.

paragraph: Section::::Historian of Ancient Greece.

paragraph: Mitford married Miss Fanny Molloy in 1766, the daughter of James Molloy of Dublin. He retired to Exbury for the rest of his life, and made the study of the Greek language his hobby and occupation. After 10 years his wife died, and in October 1776 Mitford went abroad. He was encouraged by French scholars whom he met in Paris, Avignon and Nice to give himself systematically to the study of Greek history.

paragraph: But it was Edward Gibbon, with whom he was closely associated when they both were officers in the South Hampshire Militia, who suggested to Mitford the form which his work should take. In 1784 the first of the volumes of his "History of Greece" appeared, and the fifth and last of these quartos was published in 1810, after which the state of Mitford's eyesight and other physical infirmities, including a loss of memory, forbade his continuation of the enterprise, although he painfully revised successive new editions.

paragraph: Section::::Later life and legacy.

paragraph: While his book was progressing, Mitford was a Tory member of the House of Commons, with intervals, from 1785 to 1818, but it does not appear that he ever visited Greece.

paragraph: A supporter of William Pitt the Younger, his patron was Hugh Percy, 1st Duke of Northumberland, owner of the pocket borough of Newport in Cornwall, which had 62 voters. This ended in 1790 but Mitford was assisted into one of the seats for Bere Alston in 1796 by his second cousin (and the duke's second son) Algernon Percy, 1st Earl of Beverley In 1812 he was elected to sit for New Romney in Kent, retiring in 1818.

paragraph: These links between Mitford and the dukes of Northumberland were continued by his grandson Henry's marriage to Beverley's granddaughter Lady Jemima Ashburnham in 1828; the parents of Algernon Freeman-Mitford.

paragraph: Mitford was for many years a member of the Court of Verderers of the New Forest, a county magistrate and a colonel in the Hampshire Militia.

paragraph: After a long illness, he died at Exbury on 10 February 1827.

paragraph: In addition to his "History of Greece", he published a few smaller works, the most important of which was an "Essay on the Harmony of Language", 1774. The style of Mitford is natural and lucid, but without the rich colour of Gibbon. He affected some oddities both of language and of orthography, for which he was censured and which he endeavoured to revise.

paragraph: Mitford was an impassioned anti-Jacobin from the 1790s, and his partiality for a monarchy led him to be unjust to Athenian democracy. Hence his "History of Greece", after having had no peer in European literature for half a century, faded in interest on the appearance of the work of George Grote. Clinton, too, in his "Fasti hellenici", charged Mitford with "a general negligence of dates," though admitting that in his philosophical range "he is far superior to any former writer" on Greek history. Byron, who dilated on Mitford's shortcomings, nevertheless declared that he was "perhaps the best of all modern historians altogether." This Mitford certainly was not, but his preeminence in the little school of English historians who succeeded Hume and Gibbon would be easier to maintain.

paragraph: Section::::Family.

paragraph: On 18 May 1766 Mitford married Fanny Molloy (died 27 April 1827) at Faringdon. Fanny's parents were James Molloy, from Dublin, and his wife Anne Pye of Faringdon House. Fanny's brother was Anthony James Pye Molloy, and an uncle was Admiral Sir Thomas Pye, whose career had been helped by his and Anne's uncle, the politician Allen Bathurst, 1st Earl Bathurst.

paragraph: William and Fanny had three sons. Two of them, John Mitford (1772–1851) and Bertram Mitford (1774–1844) became barristers. Their oldest son, Henry Reveley Mitford (born 1769) became a Captain in the Royal Navy, presumably because of his Pye ancestry. He died in 1804 when his ship, HMS "York" sank with all 491 crew after striking the Bell Rock, about off the east coast of Angus, Scotland. This disaster prompted Parliament to authorise the construction of the famous Bell Rock Lighthouse.

paragraph: William Mitford's younger brother John (1748–1830) was a lawyer and politician who became Speaker of the House of Commons and Lord Chancellor of Ireland. Mitford's cousin, the Rev. John Mitford (1781–1859), was editor of the "Gentleman's Magazine" and of various editions of the "English poets". He was distantly related to the novelist Mary Russell Mitford (1787–1865). Mitford was the great-great-great-grandfather of the Mitford sisters, who came to public notice in Britain during the 1920s.

paragraph: Norman McLaren

paragraph: Norman McLaren, (11 April 1914 – 27 January 1987) was a Scottish Canadian animator, director and producer known for his work for the National Film Board of Canada (NFB). He was a pioneer in a number of areas of animation and filmmaking, including hand-drawn animation, drawn-on-film animation, visual music, abstract film, pixilation and graphical sound.

paragraph: His awards included an Academy Award for Best Documentary Short Subject in 1952 for "Neighbours", a Silver Bear for best short documentary at the 1956 Berlin International Film Festival "Rythmetic" and a 1969 BAFTA Award for Best Animated Film for "Pas de deux".

paragraph: Section::::Early life.

paragraph: William Norman McLaren was born in Stirling, Scotland on the 11 April 1914, he had two older siblings, one brother, Jack and a sister, Sheena. At the age of 21, he travelled to Russia for a vacation which confirmed his Communist beliefs; his father had paid for the trip in hopes of curing McLaren of the Communist belief he valued.

paragraph: When McLaren was 22, he left Stirling and studied set design at the Glasgow School of Art. McLaren joined the Kinecraft Society at the Glasgow School of Art while he was studying there, it was within the society that he began to experiment with different styles and techniques of filmmaking. It was also at the Glasgow School of Art that McLaren met Helen Biggar, they produced films together outside the School and sought to have their productions released nationally.

paragraph: His early experiments with film and animation included actually scratching and painting the film stock itself, as he did not have ready access to a camera. His earliest extant film, "Seven Till Five" (1933), a "day in the life of an art school" was influenced by Eisenstein and displays a strongly formalist attitude.

paragraph: McLaren's next film, "Camera Makes Whoopee" (1935), was a more elaborate take on the themes explored in "Seven Till Five", inspired by his acquisition of a Ciné-Kodak camera, which enabled him to execute a number of 'trick' shots. McLaren used pixilation effects, superimpositions and animation not only to display the staging of an art school ball, but also to tap into the aesthetic sensations supposedly produced by this event.

paragraph: His two early films won prizes at the Scottish Amateur Film Festival, where fellow Scot and future NFB founder John Grierson was a judge.

paragraph: Section::::Professional career.

paragraph: Section::::Professional career.:GPO Film Unit.

paragraph: Grierson, who was at that time head of the UK General Post Office film unit, saw another of his movies at an amateur film festival and took interest. He hired McLaren for the GPO after his studies, following a stint as cameraman on "Defence of Madrid", Ivor Montagu’s documentary on the Spanish Civil War. McLaren worked at the GPO from 1936 to 1939, making four films including: "Book Bargain" (1937), "Mony a Pickle" and "Love on the Wing" (1938), and "News for the Navy" (1938).

paragraph: Section::::Professional career.:Solomon Guggenheim Foundation.

paragraph: McLaren then moved to New York City in 1939, just as World War II was about to begin in Europe. With a grant from the Solomon Guggenheim Foundation, he worked in New York until 1941, making four drawn-on-film animated works: "Boogie-Doodle" (1940), along with "Dots", "Loops" and "Stars and Stripes".

paragraph: Section::::Professional career.:NFB.

paragraph: At the invitation of Grierson, he moved to Canada in 1941 to work for the National Film Board, to open an animation studio and to train Canadian animators. Upon McLaren's arrival in Canada, Grierson asked him to direct a promotional film reminding Canadians to mail their Christmas cards early, "Mail Early" (1941). He then worked on animated shorts as well as maps for Allied propaganda documentary films, followed by his War Bonds campaign films: "V for Victory" (1941), "5 for 4" (1942), "Hen Hop" (1942) and "Dollar Dance" (1943).

paragraph: As of 1942, McLaren could no longer keep up with the demands for animation at the fast-growing NFB, and he was asked by Grierson to recruit art students and create a small animation team—a task made more difficult because many young students had gone off to fight in the war. McLaren found recruits for his fledgling animation unit at the École des beaux-arts de Montréal and the Ontario College of Art, including René Jodoin, George Dunning, Jim McKay, Grant Munro and his future collaborator, Evelyn Lambart. McLaren trained these emerging animators, who would all work on cartoons, animated cards and propaganda documentaries before going on to make their own films. Studio A, the NFB's first animation studio, formally came into existence as of January 1943, with McLaren as its head.

paragraph: During his work for the NFB, McLaren created his most famous film, "Neighbours" (1952), which has won various awards around the world, including the Canadian Film Award and the Academy Award. Besides the brilliant combination of visuals and sound, the film has a very strong social message against violence and war. In his early period in Canada, McLaren spent considerable time developing the animation department of the board.

paragraph: Section::::Professional career.:UNESCO.

paragraph: In addition to film, McLaren worked with UNESCO in the 1950s and 1960s on programs to teach film and animation techniques in China and India. His five part "Animated Motion" shorts, produced in the late 1970s, are an excellent example of instruction on the basics of film animation.

paragraph: While travelling back from Mexico, McLaren travelled to Cuba and by chance met Fidel Castro.

paragraph: Section::::Legacy.

paragraph: McLaren is remembered for his experiments with image and sound as he developed a number of groundbreaking techniques for combining and synchronizing animation with music.

paragraph: The National Film Board honoured McLaren by naming its Montreal head office building the Norman McLaren Building. The Montreal borough of Saint-Laurent, which is home to the NFB, has also honoured McLaren by naming a borough district after him.

paragraph: In 1981, the new Film House opened in Edinburgh, it was to be the home of the Edinurgh International Film Festival, inside there are two seats dedicated to McLaren and Grierson.

paragraph: In 2006, he was the subject of a short animated documentary "McLaren's Negatives". Also in 2006, the Film Board marked the 65th anniversary of NFB animation with an international retrospective of McLaren's restored classics and a new DVD box set of his complete works.

paragraph: In June 2013, the NFB released an iTunes app entitled "McLaren’s Workshop," allowing users to create their own films using animation techniques utilized by McLaren and providing access to over fifty of his films.

paragraph: From 1 to 10 June 2018, Robert Lepage, principal dancer Guillaume Côté and the National Ballet of Canada will stage a ballet entitled "Frame by Frame", based on McLaren's life and work.

paragraph: Section::::Legacy.:Birth centenary events.

paragraph: The 100th anniversary of the birth of McLaren was marked by a project entitled "McLaren Wall-to-Wall" in Montreal's Quartier des Spectacles entertainment district, with short films inspired by McLaren works "Neighbours", "Begone Dull Care", "Synchromy" and "Spheres" projected onto local landmarks.

paragraph: McLaren's centenary was also celebrated in Scotland with the McLaren 2014 Programme of screenings, exhibitions, events and animation workshops. The Programme was conceived of and directed by animator Iain Gardner who also serves as the Animation Programmer for the Edinburgh International Film Festival. The programme was a key focus within the 68th Edinburgh International Film Festival in June, and ran through to the end of the XX Commonwealth Games in Glasgow in August. The McLaren 2014 Programme was managed by the Centre for the Moving Image, working in partnership with the National Film Board of Canada, and over 20 partners in Scotland and the UK.

paragraph: Section::::Legacy.:Lifetime achievement awards.

paragraph: In 1968, he was made an Officer of the Order of Canada and promoted to Companion in 1973. In 1977, he received an honorary doctorate from Concordia University. In 1982, he was the first anglophone to receive the Prix Albert-Tessier, given to persons for an outstanding career in Québec cinema.

paragraph: In 1986, he received a Lifetime Achievement Award at the World Festival of Animated Film - Animafest Zagreb.

paragraph: In 2009, McLaren's works were added to UNESCO's Memory of the World Programme, listing the most significant documentary heritage collections in the world, joining such works as the Gutenberg Bible and "The Wizard of Oz".

paragraph: Samuel Khachikian

paragraph: Samuel Khachikian ( ; ; October 21, 1923, Tabriz Iran, – 22 October 2001, Tehran) was an Iranian film director, screenwriter, author, and film editor of Armenian descent. He was one of the most influential figures of Iranian cinema and was nicknamed "Iran's Hitchcock".

paragraph: Section::::Biography.

paragraph: Born 1923 in Tabriz to a family of Armenian immigrants. Khachikian's father escaped the Armenian Genocide in 1915 and settled in Tabriz. His mother admired cinema and the arts and often took her children to the theater. Samuel Khachikian published his first poem “The Prison” in the Armenian newspaper Alik when he was nine. Five years later, he gave his first stage performance in Tabriz in a play titled “Seville”. He completed his education in History and Journalism, and wrote eight plays which went on stage not only in different cities of Iran, but also in Los Angeles, San Francisco and Greece.

paragraph: Khachikian made his first film in 1953, titled "Return". He was among the first and few directors who used the decoupage technique on the film set, preparing the complete shooting script in advance. The success of his works attracted a lot of attention to the advantages of this filmmaking approach. As an innovative filmmaker, he turned the production of murder mysteries and noir thrillers into a popular new wave in the Iranian filmmaking. He made the first ever movie trailer in the history of Iranian cinema for the movie "A Girl From Shira" in 1954. Subsequent films, such as "The Strike" and "The Eagles", were box office hits of their times.

paragraph: The 1956 film "A Party in Hell" directed by Khachikian was entered into the 8th Berlin International Film Festival.

paragraph: Khachikian's brother Souren Khachikian was also heavily involved in the production of his films. Souren's grandson Ara H. Keshishian is currently working as a film editor in Hollywood. Samuel Khachikian's son Edwin Khachikian is currently also a director.

paragraph: He died on October 22, 2001 at the age of seventy-eight in Tehran, Iran.

paragraph: Isa Khan Niazi

paragraph: Isa Khan Niazi () was a Pashtun noble in the courts of Sher Shah Suri and his son Islam Shah Suri, of the Sur dynasty, who fought the Mughal Empire.

paragraph: Isa Khan Niazi was born in 1453 and his last brother was born in 1478. He died in Delhi in 1548 at the age of 95.

paragraph: The time of 1451 – 1525 was the golden period for these khans. It was the time when Lodhis completely dominated the subcontinent (Hindustan). Isa Khan Niazi was a prominent member among the ruling family. He was in the same tribal unit of nobles as Ibrahim Lodhi, Sher Shah Suri. Most of these families were attached with the Delhi sultanate. There, a contention arose between Isa Khan Niazi and Sher Shah Suri which ended in mutiny.

paragraph: Section::::Isa Khan's tomb complex.

paragraph: Section::::Isa Khan's tomb complex.:Tomb of Isa Khan.

paragraph: Isa Khan's tomb was built during his lifetime (ca 1547-48 AD). It is situated near the site of the Mughal Emperor Humayun's Tomb complex in Delhi which was built later (between 1562-1571 AD). This octagonal tomb has distinct ornamentation in the form of canopies, glazed tiles and lattice screens, and a deep veranda surrounding it, which is supported by pillars. It stands to the south of the Bu Halima garden at the entrance of the complex. An inscription on a red sandstone slab indicates that the tomb is that of Masnad Ali Isa Khan, son of Umar Khan, the Chief chamberlain, and was built during the reign of Islam Shah Suri, son of Sher Shah, in 1547-48 A.D.

paragraph: On 5 August 2011, restoration work on this tomb led to the discovery of India's oldest sunken garden. Isa Khan’s garden tomb is considered the earliest example of an Indian sunken garden attached to a tomb. This concept was later developed at Akbar’s Tomb and at the Taj Mahal.

paragraph: Section::::Isa Khan's tomb complex.:Musjid of Isa Khan.

paragraph: At the edge of the complex, across from the tomb, lies a mosque with noticeable "mihrabs". It is known as Isa Khan's Mosque. It was built at the same time as the tomb. Many of the architectural details present in these structures (such as the tomb being placed in a walled garden enclosure) can be seen evolved to a grander scale in the main Humayun's tomb.

paragraph: Section::::Ancestry.

paragraph: Isa Khan belonged to a Pashtun tribe, Niazi. His descendants are still living in the western border region of Pakistan, mostly in Isakhel, Mianwali.

paragraph: The town of Isakhel was founded about 1830 by Ahmad Khan, ancestor of the present Khans of Isakhel, who were the acknowledged heads of the trans-Indus Niazai; and it takes its name from Isa Khan

paragraph: . The municipality was created in 1875.

paragraph: Tord Gustavsen

paragraph: Tord Gustavsen (born 5 October 1970) is a Norwegian jazz pianist and composer. He tours extensively worldwide, and he has been a bandleader for a trio, ensemble and quartet at various times, all bearing his name.

paragraph: Section::::Early life.

paragraph: Gustavsen was born on 5 October 1970 in Oslo and raised in rural Hurdal, Akershus. He "grew up playing church music".

paragraph: Section::::Later life and career.

paragraph: Gustavsen holds a bachelor's degree (mellomfag) in psychology at the University of Oslo, before he attended the Trondheim Musikkonsevatorium for a three years study of jazz (1993–96). Thereafter he became a graduate (Cand.philol.) of musicology at the University of Oslo, where he was guest teacher of jazz piano and theory (1998–2002).

paragraph: Between 2003 and 2007 The Tord Gustavsen Trio released three albums on ECM Records. The trio was made up of Gustavsen on piano, Harald Johnsen on double bass and Jarle Vespestad on drums. The albums "contained rapt, pristine, meditative music, which resonated with the inner needs of a large, discriminating audience": combined sales exceeded 100,000. The trio won the Nattjazz prize in 2005.

paragraph: A later ensemble was composed of Gustavsen, Tore Brunborg (saxophones), Mats Eilertsen (bass) and Vespestad (drums). With vocalist Kristin Asbjørnsen added for some tracks, the album "Restored, Returned" was recorded in 2009. The album was awarded with Spellemannsprisen (the Norwegian Grammy). The quartet's follow-up, "The Well", was released in 2012. That year, Gustavsen played over four days at the Montreal Jazz Festival: with the quartet, as a solo pianist and in a duo with vocalist Solveig Slettahjell. The quartet album "Extended Circle" two years later "reveals a new edginess and dynamic impact that the quartet brings to Gustavsen's music."

paragraph: In addition, he has recorded as a session musician, and guested on friends' albums. Collaborative projects have included Norwegian jazz vocalist and songwriter Silje Nergaard, musician Carl Petter Opsahl, actress Cecilie Jørstad and drummer Rune Arnesen, duo aire & angels and jazz vocalist Siri Gjære. He also took part in Nymark Collective established by Kåre Nymark. Since 2014 Gustavsen has collaborated with the German-Afgan jazz singer Simin Tander, releasing the album "What Was Said" (2016). They also performed at the 2016 Vinterjazz and the 2016 Vossajazz in Norway.

paragraph: Gustavsen continues to be highly interested in psychology and has written a lengthy thesis on the paradoxes of improvisation drawing on the dialectical psychological theory of Helm Stierlin and Anne-Lise Løvlie Schibbye.

paragraph: George Neville (Archbishop)

paragraph: George Neville (c. 1432 – 8 June 1476), archbishop of York and Chancellor of England, was the youngest son of Richard Neville, 5th Earl of Salisbury, and Alice Neville, 5th Countess of Salisbury. He was the brother of Richard Neville, 16th Earl of Warwick, known as the "Kingmaker."

paragraph: Section::::Life.

paragraph: Neville was educated at Balliol College, Oxford, and was from his childhood destined for the clerical profession, in which through the great influence of his family he obtained rapid advancement, becoming Bishop of Exeter in 1458. He was provided to the see on 4 February 1458 and consecrated on 3 December 1458. From this time forward Neville took a prominent part in the troubled politics of the period. He was present with his brother Warwick at the Battle of Northampton in July 1460, immediately after which the Great Seal was committed to his keeping.

paragraph: Neville took part in the proclamation of Edward of York as king, who confirmed his appointment as Chancellor. In 1463 he was employed on a diplomatic mission in France; and in 1464, after taking part in negotiation with the Scots, Neville, after collation as Archdeacon of Carlisle circa 1463 became Archbishop of York on 15 March 1465. He also served for many years as the Chancellor of the University of Oxford.

paragraph: Neville's enthronement as Archbishop of York took place in Cawood Castle in September 1465 and to demonstrate the riches and power of his family, twenty eight peers, fifty nine knights, ten abbots, seven bishops, numerous lawyers, clergy, esquires, and ladies, together with their attendants and servants came to the castle. Together with the archbishop's own family and servants there were about 2500 to be fed at each meal. They consumed 4000 pigeons and 4000 crays, 2000 chickens, 204 cranes, 104 peacocks, 100 dozen quails, 400 swans and 400 herons, 113 oxen, six wild bulls, 608 pikes and bream, 12 porpoises and seals, 1000 sheep, 304 calves, 2000 pigs, 1000 capons, 400 plovers, 200 dozen of a bird called 'rees' (i.e. ruffs), 4000 mallard and teals, 204 kids and 204 bitterns, 200 pheasants, 500 partridges, 400 woodcocks, 100 curlews, 1000 egrets, over 500 stags, bucks and roes, 4000 cold and 1500 hot venison pies, 4000 dishes of jelly, 4000 baked tarts, 2000 hot custards with a proportionate quantity of bread, sugared delicacies and cakes, and 300 tuns of ale and 100 tuns of wine. As well as indicating the power of the Nevilles the menu gives a valuable insight into 15th century English avifauna.

paragraph: During the next few years Neville as well as his brothers fell into disfavour with Edward IV; and in June 1467 Edward took back the Great Seal in person as punishment for Neville's obstruction of the royal plans. In 1469, after a successful rising in Yorkshire secretly fomented by Warwick, the king fell into the hands of the archbishop, by whom, after a short imprisonment, he was permitted to escape.

paragraph: When Warwick was in turn defeated by the king's forces at Stamford in 1470, Archbishop Neville took the oath of allegiance to Edward, but during the short Lancastrian restoration which compelled Edward to cross to Holland, Neville acted as chancellor to Henry VI; and when the tide once more turned he again trimmed his sails to the favouring breeze, making his peace with Edward, now again triumphant, by surrendering Henry into his hands. The archbishop for a short time shared Henry's captivity in the Tower.

paragraph: Having been pardoned in April 1471, Neville was re-arrested on 25 April 1472 on a charge of treason and secretly conveyed to France, where he remained a prisoner at the castle of Hammes near Calais until November 1474, when he returned to England; he died the following year, on 8 June 1476.

paragraph: Archbishop Neville was a respectable scholar and a considerable benefactor of the university of Oxford and especially of Balliol College. He seems also to have shown an interest in learning Greek and to have commissioned at least one Greek manuscript.

paragraph: El Prieto

paragraph: Arvei Angulo Rivas (born April 13, 1982 in Valencia, Venezuela), known as El Prieto (also known as Prieto Gang, and originally known as Colombia), is a singer, songwriter and producer of Venezuelan hip hop.

paragraph: Section::::Career.

paragraph: Rivas was born in Valencia, Venezuela on April 13, 1982. Raised in the violent, crime-ridden slums of Petare, Rivas' experiences of living there has served as inspiration for his music.

paragraph: El Prieto began his career as a rapper shortly after returning from Colombia to Venezuela. After meeting Rekeson in a nightclub and doing a freestyle with him, they decided to form a rap duo, and that's where Guerrilla Seca (GCK) was born. In those times; approximately in the year 1995, rap was very underground, sounding only "La Corte." Rekeson and Prieto Beretta (then known as Colombia), were dedicated to improvise in the streets, where they caught the attention of Juan Carlos Echendia, who hired them for Subterráneo Records, where they made their first record with other underground rap groups, called Venezuela Subterránea.

paragraph: After 3 years, they decided to release another record, and from the hand of Subterráneo Records the second (First solo) disc of Guerrilla Seca was born, which they called "La Realidad Más Real" (The Most Real Reality), it was quite famous, making them known practically in all of Venezuela, and urging rap to be populaized.

paragraph: In 2006, 3 years after the success of The Most Real Reality, El Prieto and Rekeson had some personal problems and decided to release 2 albums alone, but at the same time and under the name of GCK so as not to damage the duo. This is how "Yo contra el mundo" (Me Against the World) and "Jugando Vivo" (Playing Live) were bon. Me Against The World was criticized a lot by the fans of the duo, the opposite of Rekeson's work, which was positively received. But their differences would not last long because 2 years later they would already be working on their new album.

paragraph: Also known for his strong differences between his exmanager Juan Carlos Echendia of the record company Subterráneo Records and the deceased singer, Mc Ardilla. Were the most talked among other conflicts in the genre, breaking through other singers.

paragraph: In 2008, they decided to release "Al Aire Pero Preso" (Free But Jailed), this time as a duo again, without the help of Subterráneo Records, with whom they had some differences. The album was very accepted by the fans, but its success did not last long because 1 year later El Prieto and Rekeson had differences again, which caused them to separate definitively and culminate with the Guerrilla Seca project, leaving many fans disappointed. However, Rekeson continued to work on his side, as El Prieto did.

paragraph: More than 8 million visits has the video "Petare barrio de pakistan" (Petare Neighborhood Of Pakistan), part I, on YouTube.

paragraph: "People do not see the positive side of the video, but the negative side, it's not apology, the positive side: we want to give a message to Venezuela and Latin America of what is happening right now in the neighborhood, which is not just Petare Barrio of Pakistan, but it is all of Latin America of Pakistan, because all the neighborhoods of Latin America are equal", comments El Prieto.

paragraph: "In every neighborhood there are good and bad things, everyone plays basketball and football, but suddenly those people who played sports, are victims of a bad play and end up troubled. That's where the mess starts, what on the street we call Pakistan."

paragraph: "Everyone knows that Pakistan is not in Venezuela, that remains in another continent, but people associate that there is a war and that many people die. The people that die there by attack, fall here every weekend. Do not cover the sun with a finger."
