paragraph: Elizabeth Tailboys, 4th Baroness Tailboys of Kyme () was the daughter of Elizabeth Blount and Gilbert Tailboys, 1st Baron Tailboys of Kyme, and the second wife of Ambrose Dudley, 3rd Earl of Warwick. Through her mother she was a half-sister of Henry FitzRoy, 1st Duke of Richmond and Somerset, the only illegitimate child acknowledged by Henry VIII, King of England.

paragraph: Section::::Early life.

paragraph: Elizabeth was the only known daughter of Sir Gilbert Tailboys and his wife, also Elizabeth ("née" Blount). She and two younger brothers, George and Robert, survived their father after his death in 1530, when Elizabeth was around nine years old. She also had a half-brother from her mother's former relationship with Henry VIII: Henry FitzRoy, who was a year or two older than her.

paragraph: Section::::First marriage.

paragraph: Elizabeth was married to Thomas Wymbish, and they lived in Nocton, Lincolnshire. Thomas had been a ward of the crown, after his guardian John, Lord Hussey was executed, and in 1539, Henry VIII gave Thomas's wardship and marriage to Elizabeth's stepfather Edward Clinton, 1st Earl of Lincoln. Thomas had been betrothed to Lord Hussey's daughter Dorothy, but this was broken to ensure the marriage of Thomas to Elizabeth could take place.

paragraph: Elizabeth and her husband had an unhappy marriage, with little love between them. Henry VIII visited Elizabeth and her husband at Nocton on his northern progress in 1541. He seemed interested in protecting the rights of his late son's half-sister. Elizabeth inherited the Tailboys estates after her brothers George and Robert died, and she was thus the fourth Baroness Tailboys of Kyme. Her husband, a member of the gentry, petitioned to have himself be named as Lord Tailboys; however, with a bad relationship with her husband, Elizabeth wanted the title for herself and Henry VIII ruled in favour of his former mistress's daughter. His judges agreed that as long as the marriage was childless, Thomas could not have his wife's titles.

paragraph: While their marital problems continued they were associated together in the last years of Henry's reign, signing documents and jointly petitioning the crown regarding property. Thomas never got the barony he wanted, through marriage or his own merits, and the last was not heard regarding his and his wife's problems; on 13 June 1550 the Privy Council meeting was called up to intervene in a ""Domestic Quarrel"", the details of which are unknown. In 1551 Elizabeth was left a ring in the will of Sir Charles Brandon, the illegitimate son of Charles Brandon, 1st Duke of Suffolk. Thomas wrote his will two years later, leaving Elizabeth only a life interest in his lands as agreed at the time of their marriage. His gifts to Elizabeth were small and he left most of what he had to his mother, sisters, and brother-in-law.

paragraph: Section::::Second marriage.

paragraph: Elizabeth married for the second time in 1553 Sir Ambrose Dudley, 3rd Earl of Warwick, a younger son of John Dudley, 1st Duke of Northumberland, and elder brother to Robert Dudley, 1st Earl of Leicester, the great favourite of Queen Elizabeth I. In late 1554, she commissioned Roger Ascham to write a Latin petition on her behalf to Mary I and Philip of Spain. Eager to win over his new English subject, the king listened, and four months later Elizabeth sent another thanking him for restoring her husband to his liberties.

paragraph: She died in April 1563 whilst Ambrose was in France. The barony became extinct upon her death, and all of her lands passed to her father's sisters and their families.

paragraph: Vladimir Andreyevich Komarov

paragraph: Vladimir Andreevich Komarov (; born 14 September 1976, Novosibirsk) is a Russian musician, singer, songwriter, sound producer, DJ, and journalist. He is the founder of Hot Zex and frontman of .

paragraph: Section::::Biography.

paragraph: Vladimir's interest in modern pop music was sparked at age six, when his mother brought back a tape recorder and some Beatles cassettes from a trip to Japan. In 1989, Vladimir left music school after completing his eighth year as a major in piano and a third year in Jazz and Pop faculty. On 1 September 1991, he started a school art-punk band named Shoe Repair (Remont Obuvi), which morphed into a more serious project, Hot Zex, in the next couple of months.

paragraph: Following his graduation from World Culture Studies at the , Vladimir enrolled as a social philosophy postgraduate at the . He left in 2001 with a thesis on the Nature and Typology of Nationalism and continued as a journalist. In 2002, he completed a Management Training Program at Manchester University Business School.

paragraph: In the summer of 2006, Vladimir's new project, , signed with Moscow production company Soundhunters, and Vladimir moved to the capital to become a professional musician. Hot Zex and made an impact on the Russian indie rock and indietronica scene, earning international acclaim.

paragraph: Vladimir has lived in New York since 2011. He is married with a daughter, Eva V.

paragraph: Section::::Music.

paragraph: Section::::Music.:Hot Zex.

paragraph: Hot Zex is a Russian rock group formed in Novosibirsk in 1991. The lineup has changed several times with the only constant member – frontman, vocalist, guitarist and songwriter – Vladimir Komarov. Fun fact: Komarov was originally a drummer, but following a few failed attempts at recruiting a singer, he took on vocal duties in January 1995. The band's exact birthday is unknown, but between 1 September and 26 December 1991 they recorded their first demo of 4 instrumentals on a primitive tape recorder. Thus, Hot Zex briefly existed in the Soviet era.

paragraph: In the beginning, Hot Zex were strongly influenced by punk rockers like the Dead Kennedys and The Clash, later drifting towards American alternative rock like Sonic Youth and the noise experiments of My Bloody Valentine. Throughout the years Hot Zex has incorporated touches of post-punk, dream pop, Britpop, synthpop, krautrock, ambient and even dub with trademark shoegazing constant noise/guitar-synth wall of sound and noise pop tunes.

paragraph: “Sugarbabes”, the band's debut album, was recorded in January 1995, the line-up featuring Vladimir Komarov (vocals, guitar, drums, programming), Vladimir Shibanov (guitar, departed soon after the album), Alex Kelman (guitar), Anton Zenkov (bass). The album was recorded and mixed overnight on an 8-channel portastudio by . This is the band's only record not produced by Komarov. The sound concept was maximum DIY. Musically, “Sugarbabes” is a snapshot of the band trying to shape their style in long-winded and complex noise improvisations — definitely a huge Sonic Youth influence there. One track is worthy of mention – the early version of a Hot Zex classic, “Waiting”.

paragraph: Summer 1997 saw the release of “Velvety/Dual” comprising two EPs: “Velvety” (recorded and mixed in January 1996) and “Dual” (recorded and mixed in January 1997). None of the EPs had been released. The album was a total departure from live drums; it ventured into Madchester and shoegazing territory and was better recorded. Unlike its predecessor, all of the “Velvety/Dual” material was written by Komarov, who had become the main songwriting force of Hot Zex. Despite continuing loyalty to noise, the song “Planets” was deemed radio-friendly and contributed to the band's popularity.

paragraph: The late-1990s internet boom gave Hot Zex, a band from distant Siberia, access to a wider Russian and international audience. In October 2000, “She Could Make Things Perfect” was named Song of the Month on the German Bouncing Corporation label website. In May 2001, an international shoegazing compilation release “Seven Winters” features Hot Zex track “Skylab Sounds”. The song went to #9 in the annual chart of U.S. Voyage Beyond Radio — The 10 Best Indie Music From The Michael Antony Show 2002. In the same year, aired “Feel the Light” video.

paragraph: The third Hot Zex album titled “7 Lovesongs and a Track about Daily Routine of an Airport” was released by Tokyo label Chelsea Girl Records in June 2003. By that time, the line-up had changed dramatically: Konstantin Nikonov became full-time drummer and Kelman was replaced by Mikhail Grinin. The album, recorded between July 1999 and March 2001, was met with warm reviews in the foreign press:

paragraph: BULLET::::- "We’ll excuse Hot Zex their somewhat naff name as they are Russian. However they do sing in English and they have produced a very British influenced album. There’s liberal pourings of the Stone Roses, House of Love, the Lilac Time and Primal Scream, with an occasional twist of Stereolab. It’s actually pretty good stuff too, - Mawders, Soundsxp.com, UK"

paragraph: BULLET::::- "Super-excellent dreamy and shoegazey pop songs that are absolutely brilliant! Drum machine rhythms keep a steady beat while shimmering melodies, soaring chiming and grinding guitars overlap, breathy vocals carry through the background, atmospheres are created and faded in and out, keyboards swirl aboutthis is top notch stuff! - Clairecords.com, USA"

paragraph: BULLET::::- "Hot Zex is an amazing group from Siberia that you may recall from ages and ages ago when we sold their debut cassette, followed by a fantastic CD that was released in Japan. They should put a big smile on the face of almost any Jesus and Mary Chain fan, - www.tonevendor.com, USA"

paragraph: BULLET::::- "The direction of Hot Zex’s sound is visionary noisy guitar pop like whether escape from actual society is urged! If it compares, is it dreamy and the noisy touch with which My Bloody Valentine (Loveless) + Chapterhouse(Pearl) + Rocketship (1st) was united? - Place in the Sun e-zine, Japan"

paragraph: BULLET::::- "Hot Zex are a band from Russia and if you’re horny for good music then the lust will be there too as Hot Zex are making excellent indiepopmusic! They know their stuff and they must be influenced by British artists like Momus, House Of Love, Spacemen 3 or My Bloody Valentine as this is the sort of C-86 indiepopsound enriched with some Stereolab-beats and I can only say that fans from Too Pure can only do one thing: contacting Russia as Hot Zex are what I am expecting from music — perfect indiebeats and with a daydreaming touch! Fantastic really! - Didier Becu, The Original Sin, Belgium"

paragraph: BULLET::::- "In many ways, these songs are familiar to some of the Crunchy Frog label’s roster (from Denmark), notably Learning From Las Vegas, THAU, and The Mopeds. Fans of these and other similar bands will probably find Hot Zex’s tracks appealing. The music actually has a surprisingly serious tone to it. «She Could Make Things Perfect», for example, is a straightforward love song with songwriting that’s kind of like what Guided By Voices would have sounded like had Tom Pollard grown up on a steady diet of prog rock. «Planets (version II)», meanwhile, is a space rock song with a great melody. You’ll be hooked after one listen, - Matt Shimmer, INDIEVILLE.COM the nonmainstream music webzine, Canada"

paragraph: BULLET::::- "That's Siberia to you and me: And prepare to be confounded again because this is not a selection of icy ambient isolationism, but actually 30 minutes of psychedelic indie rock. This album (their first proper - the 1995 debut SUGARBABIES was limited to a generous 20 copies!) contains eight tracks of melodic, occasionally keyboard-enhanced jangly space rock and on the guitar-tastic AROUND YOU, singer Volodya Komarov sounds like a dead ringer for Tim Wheeler. What's more, the drum machine intro of OUTSIDE gives way to so much wah-wahing and shuffling that you'd be forgiven for thinking The Charlatans had got themselves a one-way ticket on the Trans-Siberian Express and were paying their way home. But perhaps what is more surprising is how much this album grows on you. The aforementioned OUTSIDE ends in a haze of swooping effects and Stone Roses wig-out, while songs like SHE COULD MAKE THINGS PERFECT, 40 MILES and 30 MINUTES DELAY combine shimmering production with some effectively tight grooves. In all - a strong, solid collection of songs, with lots of moments to grab your attention. Investigation is highly recommended - Mark Bayross, PHASE9 ENTERTAINMENT, UK"

paragraph: Hot Zex rose to cult status in their homeland, while British Ef-zine named “7 lovesongs…” one of the best indie albums ever. In 2005, the band toured large European festivals Eurosonic (the Netherlands) and Popkomm (Germany).

paragraph: BULLET::::- "We caught Hot Zex this past winter, and were floored by their Sonic Youth-meets-My Bloody Valentine-by-way-of-the-Siberian-winter sounds. Since then, the band has been to Europe, and played its biggest Siberian shows ever. Could this be the starting point of shoegazer crossing over into the pop sphere? We don't know, but we'll be here with, uh, beers in hand. Psychedelic drugs might also be OK, if you're into that sort of thing, - Mark Ames, the eXile (Moscow-based alternative newspaper)"

paragraph: In Autumn 2006, Hot Zex commences the fourth album “Standby” as a trio (Grinin had left) at Moscow Gigant Record studio. The entire material had been written by Komarov shortly before the recording session and tried out during the Baltic States tour. The new live sound of the band had become more electronic and sample dominated, therefore all the 2002-2004 demos were ditched with the exception of electronic/acoustic ballad “Falling”, recorded by Komarov in December 2004 in Novosibirsk. Otherwise, the album showcased rock’n’roll drive plus lo-fi Boss DR-202 Dr. Groove sounds and vintage analogue synths recorded in an ‘upscale’ studio.

paragraph: The mixing stage of the album was completed in early 2007. However, differences with the record company delayed the release until it finally happened in 2009, when the moment was lost. Zenkov made his exit from the group in Summer 2007. By that time, Komarov's side-project had already gained momentum, and Hot Zex was viewed as a less exciting side-project by the public and the press. Despite this, many critics and fans rate “Standby” as the best album by Hot Zex.

paragraph: The band continued to play rare gigs in Moscow and Saint-Petersburg (with Alexander Bogdan on bass), the most recent of which dates back to 2010. Hot Zex never broke up officially. Komarov and Nikonov are rumored to have put the project on hiatus, with a collection of rare and unissued recordings in the pipeline.

paragraph: Section::::Music.:Punk TV.

paragraph: Punk TV is a Russian electro-rock band, formed in Novosibirsk in 2004. The actual forming of the band could be traced back to December 2003, when Komarov heard the home demo of “Snowboy” instrumental by Alex Kelman (ex-Hot Zex) and offered to complete the song in a studio. He added vocals, guitar, bass and mixed the track almost overnight. A few months later, “Snowboy” was released on “Alley P.M. Vol 01” CD compilation and became a sudden hit. received numerous invitations to festivals; the band was joined by Hot Zex drummer Konstantin Nikonov and played a successful debut in July 2004 at Sunvibes international fest.

paragraph: By 2005, Komarov had produced another three tracks and forwarded them to Hermeet Chadha, assistant to John Peel and Steve Lamacq. Soon afterwards, BBC Radio 1 played “Snowboy” and “Zoomer Goodnight”. Several Russian labels offered Punk TV a debut album deal. The band chose Alley P.M., a small but friendly label that guaranteed complete artistic freedom, and in June 2005 the eponymous debut was finished. A year later the record was re-released in the U.S. by AeroCCCP.

paragraph: Surprisingly enough, Punk TV's 90% instrumental debut, a blend of Lo-fi, krautrock and breakbeat, half of it recorded at home, got wonderful press on both sides of the Atlantic.

paragraph: BULLET::::- "“Punk TV’s debut album is an exciting trip down the stream of crafty and clever indie-rock that starts in the quiet haven of the Britpop “Day By Day”, storms through a dozen weird guitar/sampler adventures, climaxing in the electronic “Night By Night”. The album is largely vocal-free, and the centerpiece is titled “While Mickey Mouse Sleeps”. The watchwords for Punk TV are “drive”, “cool” and “fresh”” — Dmitry Weber, Rolling Stone Russia, December 2005.

paragraph: BULLET::::- "Excellent album from a trio of Siberians who mix driving, droning guitars with thick buzzing electronics. It has a touch of New Order and Ratatat to it, a bit of breakbeat and a dark Flaming Lips-like beauty that seems to be found only in places not on the musical map. Cool. — Tim Mohr, Playboy Magazine US, Dec 2006.

paragraph: BULLET::::- "Alex Kelman, Volodya Komarov and Kostya Nikonov are the Siberian trio behind Punk TV, carving out a niche for themselves with a set that is sure to extend their appeal well beyond native Russia. Opening with the atmospheric, propulsive «Day by Day», this disc would be perfect accompaniment for a spy movie, with its trick-start beginnings («Amsterdam»), tick tock rhythms coupled with floaty drones («Zoomer Goodnight») and plenty of disco guitars for those spies' nights off. They'll probably even get the girl at the end. Romantic avant-garde indie new-wave poptronica? Yes, please. — Kristi Kates, Remix Magazine, Feb 2007.

paragraph: BULLET::::- "An electronics whiz, a bassist, and a drummer, all from Siberia, open up their debut album with a cute, curvy indie-pop tune about being on tour — but quickly they unveil a surprising array of dance beats, expert pacing, killer sonic kicks, and rich atmospherics. Invoking vintage European film soundtracks, American rock classics, and 90s U.K. pop, the album is exhilaratingly integrated, avoiding the usual gauche misalliances of rock, disco, and techno. — James Hunter, Spin Magazine, April 2007.

paragraph: In the summer of 2005, played Russia’s major festivals: Nokia Lab in Moscow (sharing the bill with Howie B) and Stereoleto in Saint-Petersburg (with Gus Gus and 2020 Soundsystem). “Snowboy” became the anthem of Russia’s #1 electronic fest KaZantip Republic. was named “debut of the year” by the press in 2005.

paragraph: In summer 2006, signed with Moscow production company Soundhunters, moved to the capital and started recording the follow-up. The record was recorded in Autumn 2006 in Riga’s Sound Division Studio and mixed at Gigant Record in Moscow. At the end of the year, received the Golden Gargoyle national prize for “Best Russian Electronic Act 2006”. The second album, “Music for the Broken Keys”, was released in March 2007.

paragraph: While Punk TV’s debut saw Komarov immersed in guitar work and the search for the band’s unique sound, with a brief nod to singing, “Music for the Broken Keys” boosted his songwriting talent. 5 tracks out of 9 featured lyrics, with each song an instant classic. Komarov’s songs broke with the old stereotypes and propelled to new heights, out of reach for the Russian indie scene.

paragraph: BULLET::::- "Punk TV bang out «Vala Svala» and some might say that it's a bit controversial what has been said about this band but it is positive so tough. These guys are like the Pet Shop Boys but with balls. They have made an electro track that sounds amazing and the vocals are just mesmerizing, they have gone for quality rather than what will sell 200k Singles. This is a proper kick ass tune. — Mark Moore, Contactmusic.com

paragraph: BULLET::::- "This is like Depeche Mode on acid with all its psychedelic sounds, soft Pet Shop Boys like vocals and lush keyboards. — Dj Astro, Unimeri.com

paragraph: BULLET::::- "“Two years ago, Punk TV debut arrived as a bolt out of the blue in the backwater of our music landscape. The album boasted a whole range of flavor-of-the-season new-rave tricks: Manchester guitars and synth psychodelia. On “Music For The Broken Keys” the Novisibirsk guys venture farther than on their debut, leaving ‘difficult second albums’ to one-hit losers. Clubby clouds of Punk TV sound remain the same, but with a hint of difference. More tracks with vocal (three), guitars against a backdrop of puffy lacy electronica. Juggling hollow clichés is pointless when talking about this record —the music of Punk TV is exempt from European press classification. The album sounds fresh and fun, sometimes slightly ahead of the latest trends — and you know this special feeling when you get it" — Dmitry Weber, Rolling Stone Russia, June 2007.

paragraph: Fun fact: closing track “Good Morning 1985” was a last-minute addition. The original version was recorded by Komarov as a birthday present for drummer Nikonov, a big fan of 1980s new wave. Komarov resisted the idea of re-recording “Good Morning 1985” to the last, calling it “a throwaway joke”.

paragraph: In 2007, played 56 gigs in Russia, England, Finland, Latvia, Lithuania and Ukraine. The band played Moscow's largest B1 club, opening for The Rupture and Happy Mondays. In spring 2008, the band released “Sunderground” EP, a teaser for the third full-length album “Loverdrive”.

paragraph: Despite a successful career in Moscow, the band and their production company Soundhunters decided to part ways. continued their heavy touring schedule, while recording and mixing their new album at Gigant Records. The LP was released by Fusion/Gala on 18 March 2009. Unlike its predecessors, “Loverdrive” was more guitar-heavy and relatively short — clocking in at less than 38 minutes. Three tracks had already been available on “Sunderground” EP, with slightly altered mixes for the album. This is largely due to the band bankrolling the album after their split with the production company, however, the quality of the record did not suffer. Tight finances did not affect the material, in fact, two new songs by Komarov – “Every Minute is OK” and “Voices” are probably among Punk TV's finest. The record was lauded by critics and cemented the band's #1 national indie rockers status.

paragraph: BULLET::::- "“After the band’s second “Music for the Broken Keys” album (2007), Chemical Brothers references can only be found in lazy write-ups by those who fail to see beyond the press release. The actual similarities are few: simply great electro rock, where guitars and synthesizers coexist happily instead of drowning each other out. Up next: leaving Novosibirsk for Moscow, a tour of Russia, major festivals, MTV and Radio Maximum air a song they co-wrote with Bi-2. Now a new album — and it’s on to the next level. “Loverdrive” is the same old Guitars vs. Synths friendly, the same rubber ball samples and laid-back guitar romantics. At the same time, Punk TV appear to have broken free and laid the heavy burden down. Where tracks used to crawl, heavy with samples and overdriven guitars, they now burst in all directions: synths gone up-register and into space, meaty back-to-gravity bass, distant weightless guitars. At times these elements mix so well that pleasure becomes almost physical. “Loverdrive” packs a surefire radio-friendly single “Comet” with vocals by Bi-2 and a near-perfect hit “Voices” that brings to mind the better days of Primal Scream — it would be a crime for radio programmers to ignore these songs. Besides, Punk TV deserve to lead the entire New Russian music corps. After all, it was vocalist Volodya Komarov who produced the new hipster darlings Manicure. The release and the future of “Loverdrive” becomes a moment of truth for the entire movement: it will either flourish or get a rude kick aside to small-time Moscow dives. Even so, Punk TV’s crowning achievement is an accomplished fact: they are no longer the “Russian Chemical Brothers", they are quite simply Punk TV — and that is good enough” — Georgy Birger, Time Out Moscow.

paragraph: Following a 30-gig Loverdrive Tour that spanned Russia, Ukraine, Belarus and Kazakhstan, Komarov went back into the studio to almost single-handedly record a new single “Solar”. The record was released by Fusion on 14 April 2010 in two formats and under different titles: 7" vinyl “S.S.” (b-side “Suburban Sounds”) and CD EP “Solar” (featuring remixes for “Solar” and b-side “Discounted Toy”). The entire material had been written by Komarov as early as Summer/Autumn 2009. The singer of legendary Irish post-punk band Power of Dreams, Craig Walker, co-wrote and sang lead on “Suburban Sounds”.

paragraph: In February 2010, Punk TV opened for Ian Brown at Moscow’s B1, and in April, the band embarked on Solar Tour through Russia, Estonia, Latvia, Lithuania, Germany, Finland, Sweden and Kazakhstan. The tour wrapped up in end-September and the musicians decided to start a new album, tentatively slotted for release in March 2011. Unlike two previous LPs, when went in with a ready, rehearsed and live-tested album, the new record, “Space Shadows”, was a studio affair built from scratch. Komarov almost went back to the production method of the first eponymous album, despite all recording and mixing taking place at Gigant Records. The result was a jigsaw sound puzzle of styles and moods. The album featured EMF singer James Atkin on “Breathing Out” and the Lali Puna sound architect Christian Heiß, who remixed “SID” into a new track, “Seeds”. Drums on “Phantom”, “Parker's Beat” and “SID” were played by Komarov, since the band drummer was not always available for recording sessions.

paragraph: BULLET::::- "“Vladimir Komarov comments on the new release: "We started the new album with no clear concept — just putting some tracks together to form an album like a bunch of favorite holiday snapshots. It was really just like that: the demo of “Phantom” was recorded in Mexico, the sequence of “Breathing Out” fell into place on long treks down crazy Vietnam roads, and “Kopenhagen”, I think, kind of speaks for itself. When we stepped into this room at Christian Heiss’ Munich studio (Lali Puna, Notwist, Portmanteau) and saw all these magic hand-made boxes that did not just make sounds but actually sang, we immediately thought — it would be perfect if he could produce “SID”. Christian said yes, that's how a new track “Seeds” came about. James (Aitken, of EMF) agreed to sign on our record straight away, which put us in a stupid position — we have the cult singer and no song for him to sing. We trawled our archives, fished out a fragment of a studio jam and sent it to him. I was just amazed by the way his vocal fit in. The rest was simple tweaking — and “Breathing Out” turned out to be one the album's highlights" — Lookatme.ru

paragraph: BULLET::::- "““Venom” is another single off the fourth album of the band from Novosibirsk. Unlike “Phantom” and “Take Control”, both great for a heroic Hollywood drama soundtrack, “Venom” is quality electro-rock, an approximation of MGMT, but sans irony (which could be a good thing)” — Boris Dahl, Rolling Stone Russia, April 2011

paragraph: BULLET::::- "In the meantime, interest continues to grow in the Western press, due in part to the fact that Punk TV’s trademark Mancunian style is often expressed in instrumental forms. A guest appearance by Atkin on the new album also helps to overcome the language barrier. The general air of celebration is palpable: tambourines are shaken and smiles will widen. British and American webzines have thus far received the band with enthusiasm: «This is the perfect accompaniment for a spy movie, with trick-start beginnings, tick-tock rhythms, and floaty drones… plus plenty of disco guitars for those spies' nights off.» Or, elsewhere: «Cute, curvy indie-pop… with a surprising array of dance beats, expert pacing, killer sonic kicks, and rich atmospherics. — David MacFadyen, Farfrommoscow.com

paragraph: “Space Shadows” was released 25 March 2011 by and supported by a three-month Russian tour, after which the band took some time off. In Summer 2012, Komarov started work on a remixed version of “Loverdrive", acting as executive producer. “Loverdub” was released as a free Bandcamp download on 1 October 2012. Komarov was also one of the authors, re-recording “Jetlag Sunday” under the alias Millrock.

paragraph: Du Yu

paragraph: Du Yu (222–285), courtesy name Yuankai, was a Chinese politician, military general and Confucian scholar of the state of Cao Wei during the late Three Kingdoms period and early Jin dynasty.

paragraph: Section::::Life.

paragraph: Du Yu was from Duling County (杜陵縣), Jingzhao Commandery (京兆郡), which is located northwest of present-day Xi'an, Shaanxi. He married a sister of Sima Zhao, the regent of the Cao Wei state from 255 to 263 and the father of Sima Yan (Emperor Wu), later the first emperor of the Jin dynasty (265–420).

paragraph: A prolific author, Du Yu was a self-proclaimed addict of the "Zuo Zhuan" and wrote an influential commentary to it. He was one of the most important commanders under the Wei general Zhong Hui during the conquest of Wei's rival state, Shu. He also followed in leading an army in the Jin dynasty's conquest of the state of Eastern Wu. Du Yu managed to lay waste to the Wu army with great force in not the greatest of length of time, and received the surrender of Sun Hao, the last Wu emperor.

paragraph: Du Yu was also the ancestor of the Tang dynasty poet Du Fu. Unlike his predecessors, Du Yu used the "Zuo Zhuan" to comment on the "Chunqiu Classic". He therefore combined the two books in one, which has been the common practice since.

paragraph: Celestino Alfonso

paragraph: Célestino Alfonso (1 May 1916, at Ituero de Azaba, Salamanca province, Spain – 21 February 1944, at Fort Mont-Valérien, France) was a Spanish republican, a volunteer in the French liberation army FTP-MOI, and a part of the resistance operation led by Missak Manouchian. He was, by profession, a carpenter.

paragraph: Section::::Youth.

paragraph: Alfonso arrived in France at the beginning of the 1930s. In 1934, he joined the "Jeunesse communiste" (Communist Youth) and became responsible for the Ivry-sur-Seine group. In 1936, he set out as a volunteer for republican Spain, arriving on 27 August 1936. He served as a machine-gunner with the rank of sergeant, and from 1937, the rank of lieutenant. In 1938, his right hand was wounded. He was, shortly afterward, named political commissar of the 2nd International Brigade with the rank of captain. In February 1939, he was repatriated to the camp at Saint-Cyprien, from which he escaped.

paragraph: Section::::Second World War.

paragraph: In May 1942, Alfonso joined the French resistance. Arrested, he was deported to Germany, where, after six months in a camp, he succeeded in escaping and returned to Paris where he became head of a FTP-MOI resistance group. He participated in many operations in Paris and in the Orléans region, notably the execution of General Ernst Von Schaumburg, commandant of Greater Paris, and on 29 September 1943 of SS officer , responsible for the STO in France.

paragraph: Section::::Assassination of Ritter.

paragraph: The FTP-MOI intelligence service had noticed the strengthening of security measures on rue Saint-Dominique in Paris. A large Mercedes with swastikas on the sides regularly entered the courtyard of the "Maison de la Chimie", and a Nazi official was let out. After four months of planning, the military leadership of the FTP requested Marcel Rayman, and Alfonso to plan an attack against this official. The operation was put under the authority of Missak Manouchian, the military overseer of the FTP-MOI, from late August 1943.

paragraph: On the morning of 28 September 1943, the Mercedes was parked for a few minutes before picking up its passenger. Alfonso fired at the SS officer as he got into the car. The windshield blocked the bullets, but the man was injured, probably by flying glass. He attempted to get out of the car through the opposite door, but Rayman hit him, fatally, with three bullets. The fighters only learned the man's identity through the German press: it was General , the assistant in France to Fritz Sauckel, who was responsible for the mobilization and deportation of labor under the German STO (Obligatory Work Service) in Nazi-occupied Europe. Ritter was the chief recruiter of slave labor in occupied France.

paragraph: The front-page denunciation of this "abominable act" and the official funeral at the "église de la Madeleine" gave the operation even more impact.

paragraph: Section::::Arrest and execution.

paragraph: Alfonso was arrested in October 1943, and he was shot at the fort Mont-Valérien on 21 February 1944, along with 21 other members of the FTP-MOI. He had a wife and a small child.

paragraph: Section::::Affiche rouge.

paragraph: Alfonso's name was featured on the Affiche rouge poster, as: "Alfonso, Espagnol rouge, 7 attentats" (Alfonso, Spanish Communist, 7 attacks)

paragraph: Juliet Simms

paragraph: Juliet Nicole Simms Biersack (born February 26, 1986) is an American rock singer, songwriter, poet, composer, musician, producer, and entrepreneur.

paragraph: She established a fan base as the frontwoman of the band Automatic Loveletter. In 2007 - in the band's earliest years - she became friends with Kevin Lyman. This resulted in her being a returning act on the Warped Tour summer circuit. After the summer of 2011 and working the circuit solo for the first time, Simms has since produced her content as a solo artist.

paragraph: On April 16, 2016 Simms married second time Black Veil Brides frontman Andy Biersack.

paragraph: Section::::Career.

paragraph: Section::::Career.:Automatic Loveletter.

paragraph: Simms was the frontwoman and songwriter for the band Automatic Loveletter from 2007–2011, releasing four EPs and two full-length album until their disbandment in late 2011. Automatic Loveletter released its debut album, "Truth or Dare", on June 22, 2010, followed by the album "The Kids Will Take Their Monsters On" through an independent record label, Paper & Plastick, in 2011.

paragraph: Automatic Loveletter was formed with Simms on guitar and lead vocals, Daniel Currier on drums, and brother Tommy Simms playing bass and producing, with bassist Sean Noll sitting in on occasion in Tommy's home studio in the Tampa Bay area. The band was first called Stars and Scars and recorded its first song together in December 2005, naming the song after the band but written by Simms. They also recorded "Tin Lizzy", written by Tommy.

paragraph: Simms acoustically laid down all of the songs she had been writing over the last three years for consideration for her first major label album. Signed by Allison Hagendorf, host of Fuse TV's "The Pop TV Show", then working at Epic Records, Simms went on to form Automatic Loveletter while Epic struggled with the Sony BMG 2005 Payola Scandal and internal problems finally dropping over 70 bands in 2007. Automatic Loveletter was not dropped but was also not supported for the next year and a half touring in the drummer's Ford Excursion and burning their own copies of their Epic-produced CD with hand painted slip covers to help fund their tours.

paragraph: Automatic Loveletter recorded their never-released debut EP in 2007 with producer Matt Squire (Panic! at the Disco, Boys Like Girls, All Time Low, Cute is What We Aim For, The Cab, and The Maine). "He challenged me and I challenged him," Simms said. "I felt very comfortable and that's when the best of me comes out. The entire time was playful and fun and that's what music is about to me — having a good time." Simms took her songbook to Squire and narrowed down the tunes and crafted them to fit together, sometimes taking songs in entirely new directions. "The Answer", for instance, was originally a ballad, but became one of the more upbeat numbers on the album. Daniel Currier and lead guitarist Joe Nelson played on the album, Sean Noll officially joining just before some of their first tours together and Tommy occasionally touring with the band to play lead or rhythm guitar in larger venues and outdoor concerts. The band played both the main Bamboozle and Bamboozle Left in 2008.

paragraph: The tracks "The Answer", "Parker", "August 28Th 3:30 A.M.", "Hush" and "Make-up Smeared Eyes (Acoustic)" were released on their first official release "Recover".

paragraph: But after the tour when Epic was scheduled to release the album Automatic Loveletter were told to continue touring and asked by then President Charlie Walk to write more upbeat music. Instead, Simms submitted a fan favorite "Black Ink Revenge" which was rejected several times for re-write until it became "My Goodbye" one of the tracks off the upcoming Sony release. "I had been signed to Epic for going on three years, toured in cars with my completely broke band and was feeling like I disappointed my fans who had been promised music for over a year so I sat in my room for four days re-writing and re-submitting that song like 5xs. I like "My Goodbye" a LOT but it was the result of a lot of pressure and the desire to get an album released." "My Goodbye", "The Day that Saved Us" and "Hush (New Version)" were quickly released as another self-titled EP just before the final chapter with Epic Records when they fired all the members except Currier before the first headlining tour. Epic held auditions for new members, hired Jacob Fatoroochi, James Bowen and Wayne Miller then halfway through the tour called Simms and told her that all of the pay for the band she was on tour with was being withdrawn and the band was dropped. Despite this devastating setback the new hired guys pulled together and stayed on to complete the tour, and A.LL.went on to sell out venues like the Knitting Factory in LA and San Francisco. "It was very liberating. After crying my eyes out for a couple hours I had some of my best shows ever on that tour." Almost immediately the band was picked up by Sony and Simms asked to write for a new album produced by Josh Abraham. Juliet dated Corey Alex, an aspiring artist/writer back in 2010 when they met at a Vans Warped Tour stop. Although they only dated for a few months, this was an impactful relationship for Juliet as she dedicates a lot of her writing to Corey's writing style during their short time together.

paragraph: Kate Waller Barrett

paragraph: Kate Waller Barrett (January 24, 1857 – February 23, 1925), née Katherine Harwood Waller, was a prominent Virginia physician, humanitarian, philanthropist, sociologist and social reformer, best known for her leadership of the National Florence Crittenton Mission, which she founded in 1895 with Charles Nelson Crittenton. Her causes included helping the "outcast woman, the mistreated prisoner, those lacking in educational and social opportunity, the voteless woman, and the disabled war veteran." Although comparatively little known today, she was "[o]ne of the most prominent women of her time".

paragraph: Section::::Biography.

paragraph: Barrett was born Katherine Harwood Waller at her family's historic estate, Clifton, in Widewater, Virginia, to Ann Eliza Stribbling Waller and Withers Waller on January 24, 1857. Her family owned slaves on several large plantations, and Barrett's two young black playmates named Jane and Lucy were "given" to young Kate as a birthday gift on her sixth birthday by her grandmother. Later regretting these circumstances, Barrett stated "I looked upon them as mine by 'divine right' and many were the lessons of cruelty and lack of appreciation of the rights of others cultivated in me."

paragraph: In particular, soon after Robert South Barrett, Jr., the first of their six children, was born in Richmond, Virginia, a young unmarried woman with her own child begged for help at their door. The Barretts provided the young woman with a meal and listened as she told of being deserted by a man who had promised marriage. Barrett recognized the similarities between herself and the young woman, and concluded that only luck separated her from the young woman in her home; one of them had fallen in love with a "good" man and one with a "bad" one. Furthermore, from her own experiences as a slaveholder and with Jim Crow laws, Barrett also realized how spirits could be broken by degradation. Profoundly moved by her new-found bond with this "fallen" woman, she vowed, "By the power of God that rules the Universe, I would spend my life trying to wipe out some of the inequalities that were meted out to my sisters who were so helpless to help themselves."

paragraph: Section::::Doctor, mother, widow.

paragraph: When Rev. Barrett was assigned to Atlanta in 1886, Katherine Barrett, with his encouragement, pursued a medical degree, while also establishing what came to be her first shelter for unwed mothers. The Women's Medical College of Georgia awarded Barrett an M.D. in 1892 and a doctor of science degree in 1894. Barrett never intended to practice as a physician, but wanted to bolster her credibility: "she recognized that the initials 'M.D.' behind her name gave weight to her viewpoints."

paragraph: While earning those degrees and working on numerous charitable causes, Barrett also raised six children, with the considerable assistance of a black nanny. Her husband's health, never robust, began failing, and they returned to the Alexandria area while he was assigned in Washington D.C., and later traveled to Europe to seeking cures. Thus, Barrett also studied nursing at the Florence Nightingale Training School in London, England. However, Rev. Barrett died in 1896, leaving his 39-year-old widow with six young children.

paragraph: Section::::National Florence Crittenton Mission.:Leading Florence Crittenton work.

paragraph: Barrett's central interest was the plight of unmarried mothers in the late 19th and early 20th centuries, a group that suffered from national prejudices. After starting a "rescue home" on her own in Atlanta, despite being officially opposed by the local government, she joined forces with Charles Nelson Crittenton (1833–1909), a wealthy New Yorker also interested in creating safe havens for "fallen women."

paragraph: Crittenton had been establishing rescue homes, primarily oriented toward providing women an alternative to prostitution. He founded the first one in New York City in 1883 following the death of his beloved four-year-old daughter, Florence, after whom he named them. He established others in California and then, in conjunction with the Women's Christian Temperance Union, in various parts of the U.S. However, he confided to Barrett that he feared that isolated homes would collapse after a period of initial enthusiasm.

paragraph: When Barrett's husband moved the family back to Alexandria, Virginia, she was freed from the daily work of the Atlanta rescue home, and systematically pursued Crittenton's idea for a national association of homes. In 1895, they founded the National Florence Crittenton Mission, with Crittenton as president and Barrett as vice president. Upon the death of her husband on September 12, 1896, Crittenton added general superintendent to Barrett's roles, which she pursued as a single mother of six. Barrett successfully secured for the NFCM the first-ever federal charter for a charitable organization, through a special act of Congress signed by President William McKinley on April 9, 1898.

paragraph: Upon his death, she succeeded Crittenton as president in 1909, but retained the general superintendent role as well, serving in both positions until she died on February 23, 1925. Operating more than 70 homes around the country and abroad, at the time of her death one-third of all maternity homes in the U.S. were affiliated with the Florence Crittenton chain.

paragraph: Section::::National Florence Crittenton Mission.:Shift in emphasis.

paragraph: Although Charles Crittenton's emphasis was on rescuing prostitutes, he agreed with Barrett that unmarried mothers and their children were important. Under Barrett's influence, the emphasis slowly shifted to prioritizing unmarried mothers with a secondary emphasis on prostitutes.

paragraph: Barrett was instrumental in helping unwed mothers become an acceptable subject of philanthropy. She successfully advocated her social reform views by giving a number of public speeches and publishing a number of articles on the plight of the unwed mother.

paragraph: Although the NFCM shifted its emphasis from prostitution to unmarried mothers, Barrett led forcefully when the anti-prostitution scare under the label of "white slavery" surfaced around 1910. "When many in the United States were caught up in the white-slavery hysteria, Barrett and the NFCM pushed to help the victims of prostitution rather than to punish them as offenders... NFCM public pronouncements denounced attempts to place the blame for prostitution solely on women".

paragraph: Section::::National Florence Crittenton Mission.:Race and class in Florence Crittenton homes.

paragraph: For a woman born into a slave-holding family, Barrett put considerable effort into addressing the racial issues inherent in the work of the NFCM. Noting Barrett's background and that her era corresponded with the institutionalization of Jim Crow throughout the South, historian Katherine G. Aiken concludes that "[w]ithin this context, the NFCM made pathbreaking overtures to the African American community." Aiken observes that under Barrett, the NFCM operated a "colored mission" in Alexandria, Virginia, with not only its inmates but all of its workers being Black. Similarly, the NFCM welcomed the Topeka Home (Colored), founded by Topeka Blacks in 1904, when they later petitioned to join NFCM. Not only did Barrett accept the Topeka home, but she arranged for the NFCM to pay off the home's sizeable remaining mortgage, and ensured that its leader, Sarah Malone, was included within the NFCM leadership.

paragraph: Barrett fostered important relationships with African American women... At a time when few white organizations interacted with black women, Barrett facilitated the efforts of middle-class African American women to engage in rescue and maternity home work... The FC approach was neither revolutionary nor radical, and both white and black Crittenton workers failed to confront or challenge predominant views of race. At the same time, the Crittenton organization made inroads against racism that deserve to be recognized.

paragraph: Barrett was perhaps less successful in leading Florence Crittenton workers on the class divisions that crept into their work. While unwed mothers were hardly restricted at the time to the working class, middle-class and wealthy women had access to resources that could shield them from censure. As a result, Florence Crittenton work has been characterized as mostly middle-class people "meddling" in working class lives "in an effort to bring about a well-ordered society." Katherine Aiken thinks this characterization is too sweeping and that it misses the genuine caring that Florence Crittenton workers brought to their work, identifying as women and mothers with their sister "unfortunate girls". Aiken summarizes her conclusions by agreeing with critics that "middle-class Crittenton workers sometimes forced their own values and life-style upon women of another class... [and] [t]hese actions sometimes resulted in negative effects on the women involved. Nevertheless, Crittenton homes served a purpose and filled a void that provided a real service to women enduring considerable personal turmoil."

paragraph: Section::::National Florence Crittenton Mission.:Maternity hospitals.

paragraph: Finding the treatment of women in regular hospitals to be unsatisfactory, many Florence Crittenton homes came to build their own. For example, the Florence Crittenton Home in Sioux City, Iowa included hospital care in its original 1906 building, and then built an entire hospital next door in 1913. Like most Crittenton hospitals, it featured primarily female staff and welcomed all women (not just home inmates) to use it. The fees charged to middle-class patients helped pay for the care for the home residents. "This combination of modern facilities, sympathetic care, and an atmosphere that was conducive to women exercising control over their own treatment caused many women to select Crittenton hospitals over other alternatives, and probably speeded the transition from home births to hospital births in some locations."

paragraph: Section::::National Florence Crittenton Mission.:Children as successors.

paragraph: Two of Barrett's offspring led the National Florence Crittenton Mission after her. With duties split in the same way that Charles Crittenton and she had functioned early on, her eldest son Robert South Barrett, Jr. (the little boy she had once mentally compared to the child of the unmarried mother at the door all those years ago) served as her successor as NFCM president, while daughter Reba Barrett Smith served as vice president and general superintendent.

paragraph: Section::::Other activities.

paragraph: Section::::Other activities.:Political activism.

paragraph: Katherine Barrett was a charter member and vice president of the League of Women Voters, and a motivating force behind the creation of the American Legion Auxiliary.

paragraph: Barrett also held offices in a number of political organizations including:

paragraph: BULLET::::- Vice President of the Equal Suffrage League of Virginia (1909–1920)

paragraph: BULLET::::- President of the National Council of Women (1911–1916)

paragraph: She was also active in the National Congress of Mothers, the Parent-Teacher Association, the Woman's Christian Temperance Union, Daughters of the King, Episcopal Church, The National League of Social Services, and the Commission on Training Camp Activities.

paragraph: After her speech at the Democratic National Convention received a standing ovation, she was asked to consider running for Governor of Virginia. Although flattered, she did not pursue the idea due to her declining health.

paragraph: Section::::Other activities.:Delegacy.

paragraph: Barrett was commissioned to be a delegate for many causes, both social and political. In 1914, Barrett traveled to Europe on a U.S. battleship, where she was:

paragraph: BULLET::::- A Special Representative of the U.S. Government in Europe studying and advising on women's issues for the Bureau of Immigration, 1914–1919

paragraph: BULLET::::- One of only 10 women to attend the Versailles Conference in 1919

paragraph: BULLET::::- A delegate to the Zurich Peace Conference in 1919

paragraph: Back in the United States, she was:

paragraph: BULLET::::- A delegate to the 1924 Democratic National Convention

paragraph: BULLET::::- A delegate to the Conference for the Care of Delinquent Children

paragraph: BULLET::::- A delegate to the International Council of Women

paragraph: Section::::Other activities.:Daughter of the American Revolution and preservationist.

paragraph: A resident of Alexandria, Virginia, for approximately 30 years until her death, Barrett was aware that she lived in the house where Richard Bland Lee had drafted the document establishing the District of Columbia. It had been owned by Elisha C. Dick, one of the physicians attending George Washington on his deathbed as well as a noted abolitionist and early mayor of Alexandria.

paragraph: Barrett joined the Daughters of the American Revolution in 1904, as a member of the Mount Vernon Chapter. In 1919, she was elected State Regent of the Virginia Society of the Daughters of the American Revolution, an office she held until her death.

paragraph: On February 21, 1925, Barrett held an organizing meeting in her home for what became the Alexandria/Arlington chapter. Upon Barrett's unexpected death two days later, the new chapter changed its name to the Kate Waller Barrett Chapter in her honor.

paragraph: Section::::Honors.

paragraph: When Barrett died on February 23, 1925, the flag over the Virginia Capitol in Richmond was flown at half-staff. She was the first woman in the history of the commonwealth to be so honored. In 2006, the Library of Virginia honored Barrett as one of the Virginia Women in History.

paragraph: Barrett served on the Board of Visitors of the College of William and Mary in Williamsburg, Virginia, and was the first woman to be made an honorary member of their Phi Beta Kappa chapter. A dormitory has also been named for her.

paragraph: In Virginia, three institutions are named after her:

paragraph: BULLET::::- Kate Waller Barrett Elementary School of Stafford County

paragraph: BULLET::::- Kate Waller Barrett Branch Library in Alexandria

paragraph: Section::::Legacy.

paragraph: Barrett had a tremendous impact on the developing field of social work and on services for women and children. Under her leadership, the NFCM became an established social service organization that provided a wide spectrum of services to women. The mission initiated activities that many now consider essential services for women and children. Florence Crittenton homes pioneered women-oriented policies in the areas of health care, employment for women, and children's rights. The organization campaigned for equality for women and for recognition of women's needs... Despite differences in class and race with most of their clients, FC volunteers tried to emphasize gender identity... It would be a long time before a group of women had the resources to duplicate Crittenton efforts.

paragraph: Insisting that all mothers had something to say and a right to act, Barrett also successfully led large numbers of women to push the boundaries of what was acceptable for women to pursue. Historian Katherine Aiken finds Barrett's current relatively small profile illuminating. "One of the most prominent women of her time, Kate Waller Barrett is today a virtually unknown historical character." Aiken notes that popular culture and historians have focused on female activists and social scientists "who tended to be single, career women. Certainly, as a physician and trained nurse, Barrett's professional status was on par with any progressive reformer, male or female. However, unlike many of her contemporaries, Barrett relied on her role as wife and mother to establish her credentials... Recent studies of maternalism have made it clear that middle-class women often used the rhetoric of motherhood to make inroads toward achieving changes favorable to women. Barrett and the NFCM illustrate this phenomenon".

paragraph: Educator and social worker Janie Porter Barrett (1865–1948), although unrelated to Barrett, advocated many of the same voting rights and women's empowerment causes within black communities in Atlanta and Virginia, within Barrett's lifetime and afterward.

paragraph: Georges Condominas

paragraph: Georges Louis Condominas (29 June 1921 – 17 July 2011) was a French cultural anthropologist. He is best known for his field studies of the Mnong people of Vietnam.

paragraph: Section::::Biography.

paragraph: Condominas was born in 1921 in Haiphong (former French Indochina, Vietnam today). His father was a French officer in the colonial army and his mother has Chinese, Vietnamese and Portuguese roots. He died in the night of Saturday to Sunday 17 July 2011 from a heart attack at the in Paris where he had been hospitalized for some time.

paragraph: Section::::Biography.:Education.

paragraph: Georges Condominas studied at the Lycée Lakanal, on the southern outskirts of Paris, but kept in touch with his father through letters and photographs.

During the Japanese occupation he was imprisoned at the Mikado Hotel.

paragraph: After World War II, he studied ethnology and returned to France to follow the lectures of famous professors of the time such as André Leroi-Gourhan, Denise Paulme or Marcel Griaule at the Musée de l'Homme, and Maurice Leenhardt at the École pratique des hautes études in Paris.

paragraph: Section::::Biography.:The field of Sar Luk, Vietnam.

paragraph: One of his first ethnologic field is in a Vietnamese village called Sar Luk in the province of Dac Lac. From this experience, he wrote two books:

paragraph: BULLET::::- The first one is entitled "We have eaten the forest" in 1957. It is noticed by Claude Lévi-Strauss and Edouard Glissant for its literary qualities.

paragraph: BULLET::::- The second one is entitled "L'exotique est quotidien" (1965) but hasn't been translated into English so far.

paragraph: Section::::Biography.:Researches and missions.

paragraph: After this first major field, he studies other fields in Madagascar, Togo and fulfills several missions in Thailand, Laos and Cambodia for the Unesco.

paragraph: In 1960, he becomes professor at the École pratique des hautes études in Paris and creates the CeDRASEMI, a French research center focused on South East Asian and the Insulindian world, in 1962.

paragraph: He is also invited at the Australian National University in 1987 and at the Japanese university of Sophia in 1992.

paragraph: His work inspired many books and movies. The record he made of the Mnong music can be heard at the end of Francis Ford Coppola's Apocalypse Now, the final scene of which was inspired by Condominas's description of the ritual slaughter of buffalo.

paragraph: For the opening of the Musée du quai Branly in 2006, an exhibition is devoted to him and his field of Sar Luk. The exhibition was also presented the next year, in 2007, in Hanoï, Vietnam, with a bilingual catalog.

paragraph: Today, his working papers, his personal library and his pictures are preserved at the mediatheque of the Musée du quai Branly, available for scholars and researchers.

paragraph: Sonja Barend

paragraph: Sonja Maria Barend (born 29 February 1940) is a Dutch television personality and former talk show host. Her talk show "Sonja", which she presented since the 1970s, was noted for breaking taboos and allowing ordinary people a voice in public dialog. She retired from television in 2006, after four decades of television making.

paragraph: Barend has worked for television since 1966. From the late 1970s on she presented her own weekly talk show for the (socialist) VARA broadcasting organization, a show whose name was based on the day of transmission, e.g. "Sonja op Maandag" ("Sonja on Monday"). In 1996 "Sonja op Zaterdag" ("Saturday") came to an end, after the retirement of Ellen Blazer, her regular producer, with whom she collaborated from the beginning of her television career. Her show, which featured interview and public discussion, was known for allowing ordinary people to have their say. This included, for instance, the viewpoints of ethnic minorities, and relied to a great extent on Barend's personality and commitment.

paragraph: Barend was outspoken on political and ideological topics, and television viewers either loved or hated her. Especially in the 1970s and 1980s she was never afraid to openly discuss taboo topics—homosexuality, feminism, emancipation, and sexuality. According to Marcel van Dam, chairman of the VARA from 1985 on to 1995, she personified the public's negative perception of the VARA (ill-tempered, moralistic), but he could not imagine how the VARA would have survived without her.

paragraph: From 1997 until 2002 she and Paul Witteman had a daily news and talk program, "B&W". She officially retired from making television in 2006, and on the occasion of her last "Sonja" show, was awarded as Officer of the Order of Orange-Nassau by Job Cohen, then-mayor of Amsterdam. That last episode, which included an overview of her career and a number of notable television personalities, received a subtitle, "En morgen gezond weer op!" ("And tomorrow, wake up healthy"), in reference to her usual closing of her TV shows. "Gezond Weer Op" is also the title of a collection of interviews culled from her shows. An annual award for best television interview is named after her.

paragraph: Richard de la Vache

paragraph: Sir Richard de la Vache, KG (d.1366) was an English knight of Buckinghamshire belonging to the Delavache family.

paragraph: The Delavache family, often claimed to be of Gascon descent from Buckinghamshire, but were more likely Norman and the name was only found in Gascony belonging to a merchant, referenced in the Calendar Patent Roles, 1330-1334, called John del La Vacarie, with no evidence of a connection to the Buckinghamshire family.

paragraph: Richard was first mentioned fighting at the Siege of Calais 1345-6. In 1347, Richard was summoned by Edward III and arrived with one man-at-arms and two archers for a new campaign in France. In 1356 he became Knight of the Garter upon the death of John de Lisle. In 1358, Richard was steward of the forest of Sherwood. In 1361 he was appointed constable of the Tower of London for life and was succeeded by Sir Alan Buxhull, a fellow Knight of the Garter. In 1362 and 1364 he received letters of safe conduct for travel to the continent, probably to participate in military campaigns.

paragraph: Richard's son, Sir Philip, was also a Knight of the Garter.
