paragraph: Johnny Most

paragraph: John M. Most (June 15, 1923 – January 3, 1993) was an American sports announcer, known primarily as the raspy radio voice of the Boston Celtics of the National Basketball Association from 1953 to 1990.

paragraph: He is perhaps best remembered for his excited call of "Havlicek stole the ball!" during the final moments of Game 7 of the 1965 NBA Eastern Division Finals.

paragraph: Section::::Biography.

paragraph: Section::::Biography.:Early life and career.

paragraph: Born to Jewish parents in New York City, he was named after his paternal grandfather, the German-American anarchist newspaper editor and orator Johann Most. Johnny Most was one of the many successful graduates of DeWitt Clinton High School in the Bronx. After distinguished Air Force service in World War II (see below), he began his basketball broadcasting career in the late 1940s as a protégé of New York Knickerbockers announcer (and 1936 Olympics track star) Marty Glickman. He was hired in 1953 by Boston Celtics owner Walter Brown and coach Red Auerbach to replace Curt Gowdy as the team's radio play-by-play man on the Celtics radio network. He also served as sports director for WCOP radio in Boston at that time.

paragraph: In addition to his work with the Celtics, he served as host of a rudimentary Boston Red Sox baseball post-game show on WHDH-TV, sister station to WHDH radio which carried Celtics games. Sponsored by Wheaties and Blackstone cigars, this short scoreboard program consisted of Most reading the scores and rattling off pitching changes and home runs. It began in 1958 and ended when WHDH-TV lost its license just before the 1972 season and the telecasts were moved to WBZ-TV. Most also teamed with Marty Glickman to call New York Giants football in the early 1950s.

paragraph: In the early 1970s, Most hosted an evening sports talk show on WORL radio which lasted from 5 to 7 PM. WBZ, owner of the Celtics' radio rights, allowed Most to appear only on the first hour of the program, which was broadcast live from a Boston nightspot, so as not to compete with WBZ's "Calling All Sports" broadcast.

paragraph: Section::::Biography.:World War II.

paragraph: As an aerial gunner on a B-24 Liberator he flew 28 combat missions with the 15th Air Force in World War II, earning seven medals.

paragraph: Shortly after VE Day, as his unit broke camp in central Italy, Johnny wandered up a nearby hillside to a graveyard filled with American flags, his final visit to fallen comrades before returning home to the Bronx. A prolific poet, he penned these lines:

paragraph: poem

paragraph: I stood among the graves today and swept the scene with sight.

paragraph: And the corps of men who lay beneath looked up to say good night.

paragraph: The thunder still, the battle done, the fray has passed them by;

paragraph: And as they rest forever more, they must be asking, 'Why?'

paragraph: /poem

paragraph: Section::::Commentating style.

paragraph: Most always referred to his perch or radio booth at the Boston Garden (the Celtics' arena) as "high above courtside" at the opening of his broadcasts, and to his usual perch near the scorer's table on most Celtics road games as "directly at courtside".

paragraph: Broadcasts began with "Hi there once again, this is Johnny Most (high above / directly at) courtside here at the Boston Garden (or other venue), where the Boston Celtics and (foe) are getting set (or about) to do basketball battle." When sponsor tag lines did not get in the way, he ended broadcasts with "This is Johnny Most; 'bye for now." When returning from a commercial break, he would frequently start by saying, "Back out here at the Boston Garden (or other venue)".

paragraph: Unlike his long-time contemporary Chick Hearn, who criticized his Los Angeles Lakers when he felt warranted, Most was an outspoken "homer" who rarely criticized the Celtics during game play but wasn't shy about criticizing other teams' players or fans (calling them "hysterical with joy" when cheering Celtics losses). For example, during the 1985 season, he nicknamed Laker star point guard Magic Johnson "Crybaby Johnson" after Johnson successfully challenged a referee's call. He called Magic this negative nickname throughout the remainder of the 1980s, announcing lines like ""Cry with the no-look pass!"" and ""Crybaby with the rebound!"" He also nicknamed Washington Bullets players Rick Mahorn and Jeff Ruland as "McFilthy" and "McNasty", interchanging the two at his whim, and he also referred to Philadelphia 76ers players Steve Mix, Bobby Jones and Andrew Toney as "The Hatchet Brothers". Most was also very critical of the Detroit Pistons for their physical play during the late 1980s. He was particularly hard on Bill Laimbeer (whom he memorably called "Big Baby"), Dennis Rodman, Rick Mahorn and Isiah Thomas, whom he referred to as Little Lord Fauntleroy.

paragraph: Section::::Other work.

paragraph: From 1963 to 1966, Most was the track announcer at the Norwood Arena Speedway, a NASCAR-sanctioned quarter mile oval. Among the winners of races during his tenure include NASCAR Hall of Fame member Glenn Roberts, Daytona 500 champion Pete Hamilton, and short track legends Bob Santos (whose grandson Bobby Santos III is a 21st-century Modified racer), and Ed Flemke, Sr. (Modified racing family; son-in-law was a Monster Energy NASCAR Cup Series race winner; his grandchildren own a car dealership in Fitchburg).

paragraph: In 1965, Most served as a color commentator for one Boston Bruins game when play-by-play announcer Fred Cusick was sick and color commentator Bob Wilson filled in on play-by-play.

paragraph: In the summer of 1978, Most called races at Plainfield Greyhound Track in Plainfield, Connecticut.

paragraph: Section::::Retirement, death and honors.

paragraph: On October 10, 1990, Most announced his retirement due to failing health. On December 3 of that year, Most was honored with permanent installation of his personal microphone at Boston Garden, silver-plated and encased in a Celtic-green frame and attached to the façade of the vantage point Most had always described as "high above courtside". On January 3, 1993, he died at 69 of a heart attack in Hyannis, Massachusetts in Cape Cod. He is buried in the Baker Street Jewish Cemeteries, West Roxbury, Massachusetts.

paragraph: Shortly after his death, he was awarded the prestigious Curt Gowdy Media Award by the trustees of the Basketball Hall of Fame in Springfield, Massachusetts for his on-air contributions to basketball. On October 4, 2002, he was inducted into the media sector of the New England Basketball Hall of Fame at the University of Rhode Island.

paragraph: Section::::Other well-known calls.

paragraph: Most is known for three other calls. As in "Havlicek stole the ball!", these three were also in games played in the Boston Garden:

paragraph: BULLET::::- Game 7 of the 1981 Eastern Conference Finals, saw the Celtics tied with the Philadelphia 76ers late in the 4th quarter. Darryl Dawkins of the 76ers was double-teamed and missed a crucial shot, the Celtics' Larry Bird drove the length of the court and...

paragraph: But Philadelphia, down 91-90, had one more chance to win the game, when...

paragraph: BULLET::::- In Game 2 of the 1984 NBA Finals, the Celtics trailing the Los Angeles Lakers 113–111 with 15 seconds remaining.

paragraph: The Celtics forced overtime following the miscommunication between Johnson and Worthy, won the game to tie the series at one apiece and went on to win the title in seven games. Gerald Henderson then commented:

paragraph: recalling the John Havlicek steal in 1965, Most's best-known call.

paragraph: BULLET::::- 1985 regular-season game against the Portland Trail Blazers.

paragraph: Down 127-126, the Celtics had 2 seconds left on the clock in the 4th quarter. Dennis Johnson inbounds to Larry Bird, when...

paragraph: BULLET::::- Game 5 of the 1987 Eastern Conference Finals against the Detroit Pistons, the series tied at 2.

paragraph: Detroit had a 107-106 lead with 5 seconds left and needed to inbound the ball to secure the victory and take a 3–2 series lead with Game 6 on their home court. (Then, as now, the conference finals followed a 2-2-1-1-1 format.) Isiah Thomas was inbounding the ball to Bill Laimbeer, who was in the backcourt. But...

paragraph: Christopher Cumingham

paragraph: Christopher Cumingham is an American artist, photographer, and filmmaker most well known for his role as a producer and director of an individual style of pornographic film known as Nu Fetish. With ever-closer forays into a filmic style that scathes close to the bone of personality in a genre that doesn't normally go much further than the superficial surface of sexuality much of Cumingham's work revolves around the surreal, the absurd, and a psychoanalytic sense of fetish as sexual arousal brought about by an object or situation. The Miami New Times describes his work as something which "stays in your head all day long, popping in your subconscious, arousing you when you least expect. It's porn for intellectuals." Cumingham's work, often a collaborative effort with ideas coming directly from the performers themselves and conveyed in unscripted short videos, usually created in single takes, is driven by the intensity of their own erotic desires.

paragraph: Section::::Website.

paragraph: In early 2010 Christopher Cumingham created a new website as a venue to explore how our society tends to draw distinctions between pornography and erotica as well as art and sex. This allows them to intersect without exclusivity as the creators seek to cross the boundaries between these categories to construct a one-of-a-kind visual experience. "Our society tends to draw distinctions between pornography and erotica, art and sex. On GIM@ we allow them to intersect without exclusivity as we seek to cross the boundaries between these categories to create a one-of-a-kind visual experience. Our content meditates on the value of the explicit and the unseen, the realities of hidden sexual desires and the beauty of actually making them come true."

paragraph: Denis Lambin

paragraph: Denis Lambin (Latinized as Dionysius Lambinus) (1520September 1572) was a French classical scholar.

paragraph: Section::::Life.

paragraph: Lambin was born at Montreuil, Pas-de-Calais. Having devoted several years to classical studies during a residence in Italy, he was invited to Paris in 1550 to fill the professorship of Latin in the Collège de France, which he soon afterwards exchanged for that of Greek. His lectures were frequently interrupted by his ill-health and the religious disturbances of the time. His death is said to have been caused by his apprehension that he might share the fate of his friend Pierre de la Ramée, who had been killed in the massacre of St Bartholomew.

paragraph: Section::::Works.

paragraph: Lambin was one of the greatest scholars of his age, and his editions of classical authors are still useful. In textual criticism he was a conservative, but by no means a slavish one; indeed, his opponents accused him of rashness in emendation. His chief defect is that he refers vaguely to his manuscripts without specifying the source of his readings, so that their relative importance cannot be estimated. But his commentaries, with their wealth of illustration and parallel passages, are a mine of information. In the opinion of the best scholars, he preserved the happy mean in his annotations, although his own countrymen have coined the word "lambiner" to express trifling and diffuseness.

paragraph: His chief editions are: Horace (1561); Lucretius (1563), on which see H. A. J. Munro's preface to his edition; Cicero (1566); Cornelius Nepos (1569); Demosthenes (1570), completing the unfinished work of Guillaume Morel; and Plautus (1576).

paragraph: Patrick O. Ford

paragraph: Patrick Osborne Ford (May 2, 1942 – June 21, 1968) was a United States Navy sailor serving on a PBR patrol boat who was killed in Vietnam after he saved the lives of two of his shipmates. The US Navy posthumously awarded him the Navy Cross and later named a frigate, , after him.

paragraph: Ford was born in San Francisco, California, on May 2, 1942. At the age of 15, he moved to Phoenix, Arizona, where he attended Camelback High School and North High School.

paragraph: Shortly after graduation, Ford enlisted in the Navy. He completed basic training at the Naval Training Center, San Diego, California, and received orders to report to NS Adak, Alaska. He reported aboard the destroyer where he served as a Gunner's Mate until the end of his enlistment in 1963.

paragraph: GMG2 Ford reenlisted in 1965 and served at the NS Long Beach, California. In 1966, he was transferred to the NSA Danang, Republic of Vietnam, where he was ordered to report aboard . Following completion of his tour aboard "MacKenzie", Ford was subsequently transferred to where he remained until the end of his second enlistment in 1967.

paragraph: Later that year Ford reenlisted for the second time at the Naval Receiving Station, San Francisco, California. He was ordered to the NAB Coronado, California for River Patrol Craft Training. Following completion of training in 1968, GMG2 Ford was directed to report to the NSA Saigon, Republic of Vietnam. He was assigned to Task Force 116, River Squadron 5, River Section 535 in 1968.

paragraph: For the next five months, he served as a patrol river boat sailor, monitoring the traffic of the many rivers and coastal waterways of the area. On June 21, 1968, GMG2 Ford was serving as the aft machine-gunner aboard "Patrol River Boat 750" as part of a two-boat patrol operating in the upper My Tho River near the town of Cái Bè. The boats were maneuvering down the river when they spotted a sampan fleeing into a nearby canal. The two patrol boats gave chase and captured the sampan one hundred meters further up the canal. As the patrol boat returned to the river with the captured sampan in tow, it was ambushed by a Viet Cong patrol that unleashed an overwhelming barrage of heavy machine-gunfire and rockets.

paragraph: Two explosive B-40 rockets struck Ford's boat, immediately killing the patrol leader, William E. Dennis, and Boatswain's Mate First Class Scott C. Delph. Within seconds, the boat was ablaze and out of control, heading directly for the Viet Cong positions. Even as the boat was hit by four additional rockets, and after suffering serious injuries, Ford tenaciously maintained a steady volume of return fire from his aft machine-gunner's station. In the face of enemy gunfire and with his clothing on fire, Ford assisted three seriously wounded shipmates into the water. Ford told the last of the men to swim to the rescue boat while he maintained cover fire. He was the last man seen alive on what remained of "Patrol River Boat 750".

paragraph: GMG2 Ford did not make it off the boat and despite search efforts was not found until the next morning on the beach of the river. However, his actions saved the lives of two of his shipmates. In recognition of his bravery, the US Navy posthumously awarded GMG2 Ford the Navy Cross and later named a frigate, , after him.

paragraph: Brigadier Jerry

paragraph: Brigadier Jerry (born Robert Russell, 28 September 1957, Kingston, Jamaica) is a Jamaican dancehall reggae deejay known for his "cultural" lyrics.

paragraph: Section::::Biography.

paragraph: Robert Russell known as Brigadier " The General " Jerry was born in the Papine area of eastern Kingston in 1957, and he became interested in music at an early age, initially linking with U Roy's King Stur-Gav Hi-Fi sound system. Jerry's earliest stage appearances were as a young man performing stand-up comedy, but he soon switched to deejaying for local sound systems.

paragraph: He became a member of the Twelve Tribes of Israel organization's Rastafarian branch by 1978 and spread their message on the Jah Love Muzik sound system. By 1980, Brigadier Jerry was one of Jamaica's most sought-after performers by sound systems across the island, and a well-respected deejay among his peers. He recorded for Studio One in the early 1980s before having his first hits with "Pain" (on the Answer/Never Let Go riddim) and "Gwan a School" for producer Delroy Stansbury on the Jwyanza label in 1982. His first album was the live recording "Live at the Controls" in 1983, and his debut studio album,"Jamaica Jamaica", was released in 1985.

paragraph: Jerry also nurtured the career of his sister, who performed and recorded as Sister Nancy.

paragraph: Briggy (as he is affectionately called) often chats verses directly from the Bible, and preaches against the evils of slackness in dancehall music when performing. He attributes his unique pattern to melding together the styles of a few artists who came before him, including U-Roy, Prince Jazzbo, Big Youth, and Dennis Alcapone.

paragraph: Jerry has recorded five albums over the years, but the bulk of his career has been spent touring the world, as well as Jamaica, performing over countless sound systems. He still records the occasional single, most recently for the Ranking Joe label, but remains primarily a live performer (mostly for King Sturgav).

paragraph: He is considered by many to be U-Roy's greatest student; a stable which includes Ranking Joe, Josey Wales, Charlie Chaplin, U Brown on down to modern-day deejays such as Buju Banton.

paragraph: He has lived in New York with his wife and children between 1988 and 1991 before returning to Jamaica and performing again on the Jah Love Muzik sound system. In the late 1990s, U-Roy revived his Stur-Gav sound and Jerry returned as a touring deejay. He is now based in the United States.

paragraph: John G. West

paragraph: John G. West is a Senior Fellow at the Seattle-based Discovery Institute (DI), and Associate Director and Vice President for Public Policy and Legal Affairs of its Center for Science and Culture (CSC), which serves as the main hub of the Intelligent design movement.

paragraph: Section::::Biography.

paragraph: West received an undergraduate degree in Communications (Editorial Journalism) from the University of Washington in 1986. From 1986-1989, he served as Managing Editor of Public Research, Syndicated, which distributed essays on public affairs to more than 700 daily and weekly newspapers. He received his Ph.D. in Government from The Claremont Graduate School (now Claremont Graduate University) in 1992, has taught political science and history courses at California State University, San Bernardino and Azusa Pacific University, and was an Associate Professor of Political Science at Seattle Pacific University (a private Christian university) where he chaired the Political Science and Geography department.

paragraph: West has been co-director of the CSC since its formation in 1996, out of discussions between himself and Stephen C. Meyer, which led to an invitation from DI president Bruce Chapman to create it as a unit within the DI. At the 1995 DI-sponsored 'Death of Materialism' conference out of which it was born, he delivered an address entitled 'The Death of Materialism and the Renewal of Culture', which was an early articulation of the Wedge Strategy (later leaked in 1998 as what became known as the "Wedge Document", with an introduction identical to West's opening paragraphs).

paragraph: Section::::Darwin Day in America.

paragraph: In both his 2007 book "Darwin Day in America" and in lectures, West presents his case for linking Darwin to the eugenics movement. Historian of Science Mark Borrello criticized West's argument in writing, "West means blaming biologists in general and Darwinian theory in particular for the coerced sterilization laws that passed many state legislatures in the first half of the 20th century. This will not do. Historians of science know that the passage of the first sterilization laws at the beginning of the 20th century occurred during the 'eclipse of Darwinism'." Borrello further states that this popular support for eugenics was matched with popular opposition to teaching evolution. Moreover, modern scientists, such as Stephen Jay Gould spoke out against eugenics.

paragraph: Olof Trätälja

paragraph: Olaf Tree Feller (Old Norse: "Óláfr trételgja", Swedish: "Olof Trätälja", Norwegian: "Olav Tretelgja", all meaning "Olaf Woodwhittler") was the son of the Swedish king Ingjald illråde, ruler of the House of Yngling in the 4th or 5th century according to "Ynglingatal", a Skaldic poem detailing the kings of that house.

paragraph: Section::::Heimskringla.

paragraph: His mother was Gauthild, a princess of West Götaland, whose maternal grandfather was Olof the Sharp-sighted, the king of Nerike.

paragraph: His mother sent him to his foster-father Bove in West Götaland, where he grew up with his foster-brother Saxe who was surnamed Flette.

paragraph: When Olof heard of his father's death, he assembled the men who were willing to follow him and went to his kinsmen in Nerike, because after his father's atrocities, the Swedes had grown hostile towards the Ynglings.

paragraph: When the Swedes learnt that Olof and his kin had sought refuge in Nerike, they were attacked and had to head west through deep and mountainous forests (Kilsbergen) to Lake Vänern and the estuary of Klarälven (where Karlstad is now situated). Here, they settled and cleared land. Soon they had created a whole province called Värmland, where they could make a good living.

paragraph: When the Swedes learnt that Olof was clearing land, they were amused and called him the Tree-feller. Olof married a woman named Solveig who was a daughter of Halfdan Guldtand of Soleyar. Olof and Solveigh had two sons, Ingjald Olofsson and Halfdan Hvitbeinn, who were brought up in Soleyar in the house of his mother's uncle Sölve.

paragraph: Because of king Ivar Vidfamne and his harsh rule many Swedes emigrated to Värmland, and they became so numerous that the province could not sustain them. The land was afflicted by famine of which the Swedes accused the king. It was an old tradition in Sweden of holding the king responsible for the wealth of the land (see Domalde). The Swedes accused Olof of neglecting his sacrifices to the gods and believed that this was the cause of the famine.

paragraph: The Swedish settlers thus rebelled against Olof, surrounded his house on the shores of lake Vänern and burnt him inside it. Thus he was sacrificed to Odin, like his ancestor Domalde.

paragraph: Section::::Ynglingatal and Historia Norwegiae.

paragraph: However, "Historia Norwegiae" says that Olof succeeded his father and ruled as the king of Sweden in peace until his death.

paragraph: The lines of "Ynglingatal" appear to say that he was a Swedish prince ("svía jöfri"), and that he was burnt inside his hall and disappeared from Gamla Uppsala.

paragraph: Section::::Archaeology.

paragraph: Along the lower parts of the river Byälven in Värmland, there are three large barrows, which legend attributes to Olof Trätälja. Moreover, there are many hillforts near this river and the northern shore of Lake Vänern testifying to a violent period. Archaeological excavations from one of the hillforts, Villkorsberget, show that it was burnt in a period corresponding to Olof (510–680).

paragraph: Section::::Notes.

paragraph: King Olof Tratalja is of House Ynglinga which are Descendants to House Munso from the years 10th and 11th A.D. The previous editor from Gustav Storm of 1880 had shown King Olof Tratalja being from 1820's-1880's before vanishing when his house caught fire from attackers and fled for safety with his family. And a new ruler took over immediately after political corruption being a French General commissioned by Napoleon.

paragraph: Joseph Toussaint Reinaud

paragraph: Joseph Toussaint Reinaud (4 December 1795 – 14 May 1867) was a French orientalist.

paragraph: Section::::Life.

paragraph: Joseph Toussaint Reinaud was born at Lambesc, Bouches-du-Rhône. He came to Paris in 1815, and became a pupil of Silvestre de Sacy. In 1818-19 he was at Rome as an attaché to the French minister, during which time, he conducted investigations of manuscripts.

paragraph: In 1824 he entered the department of oriental manuscripts in the Royal Library at Paris, and in 1838, on the death of De Sacy, he succeeded to his chair in the School of Living Oriental Languages. In 1847 he became president of the Asiatic Society, and in 1858 conservator of oriental manuscripts in the Imperial Library.

paragraph: His first important work was his classic description of the collections of the Duc de Blacas (1828). To history he contributed an essay on the Arab invasions of France, Savoy, Piedmont and Switzerland ("Invasions des Sarrazins en France, et de France en Savoie, en Piémont et dans la Suisse", 1836), and various collections for the period of the crusades; he edited (1840) and in part translated (1848) the geography of Abulfeda.

paragraph: To him too is due a useful edition of the very curious records of early Arab intercourse with China of which Eusèbe Renaudot had given but an imperfect translation ("Relation des voyages", etc., 1845), and various other essays illustrating the ancient and medieval geography of the East.

paragraph: M. A. Gaffar

paragraph: Mohammed Abdul Gaffar (1910–1966), also known as Abdul Gaffar, was a politician from Arakan, Burma (now Rakhine State, Myanmar). He was elected to the Legislature of Burma in British Burma from Buthidaung in 1947. After Burmese independence in 1948, the President of Burma Sao Shwe Thaik appointed Gaffar as one of the seven members of the Inquiry Commission of Arakan in 1949. Gaffar was elected to the Chamber of Nationalities from Akyab West constituency in 1952. He was elected from Maungdaw in 1956. He also served as Parliamentary Secretary for the Ministry of Health in the government of Prime Minister U Nu.

paragraph: Gaffar was a member of the Rohingya community of Arakan, a state with the largest percentage of Indians in Burma. In 1949, Gaffar presented a memorandum to the Regional Autonomy Enquiry Commission describing Arakanese Indians as the "Rohingya", based on the colloquial terms "Rohang" and "Rohan", the local Indian names of the region.

paragraph: Section::::Early life.

paragraph: Gaffar was born in 1910 in the Rwanynotaung village of Buthidaung in Arakan Division, Burma Province, British India. His father was Ulah Meah. Gaffar attended the Chittagong Senior Madrasa in the Bengal Presidency, where he completed his secondary school studies in 1924. He completed a bachelor's degree from the University of Dacca in 1930 and a bachelor of education degree from Aligarh Muslim University in 1933. He served as a District Inspector of Schools (DIS) in Akyab from 1931 to 1942 and as a Township Officer (T.O) of Buthidaung from 1944 to 1945.

paragraph: Section::::Political career.

paragraph: During the 1947 Burmese general election, Gaffar was elected to the Burmese constituent assembly as a representative of the Buthidaung constituency. On 4 January 1948, he took oath as a legislator of the Union of Burma. The first president of Burma appointed Gaffar as one of the seven members of the Inquiry Commission of Arakan in 1949. During the Burmese general election, 1951-52, he was elected to the Burmese upper house, the Chamber of Nationalities, as a representative of Akyab West. During the 1956 Burmese general election, he was elected to the chamber as a representative of Maungdaw and Buthidaung. The first prime minister of Burma appointed Gaffar as parliamentary secretary to oversee the Ministry of Health.

paragraph: Section::::Memorandum of Appeal.

paragraph: On 20 November 1948, Gaffar presented a Memorandum of Appeal to the Principal Secretary of the Government of the Union of Burma asking for recognition of the Arakanese Indians as one of the "official nations" (ethnic groups) of Burma under the name Rohingya. The memorandum was published in the "Guardian Daily", an English newspaper in Burma, on 20 August 1951.

paragraph: "We the Rohingyas of Arakan are a nation. We maintain and hold that Rohingyas and Arakanese are the two principal nations in Arakan. We are a nation of nearly 9 lakh, which is sufficient for the population of a nation; and what is more is that we are a nation according to any definition of a nation, with our own distinctive culture and civilization, language and literature, art and architecture, names and nomenclature, sense of value and proportion, legal laws and moral codes, customs and calendar, history and traditions, aptitude and ambitions; in short, we have our distinctive outlook on life and of life. By all canons of international law the Rohingyas are a nation in Arakan."

paragraph: Section::::Political legacy.

paragraph: Despite Gaffar's call for constitutional recognition of his community, and increased Rohingya political participation in the 1950s; the Indian minority in Arakan faced discrimination after the 1962 Burmese coup d'état. The 1982 Burmese nationality law rendered the community stateless, by failing to recognize the Rohingya as one of Burma's "national races". Rohingyas are restricted from state education, government jobs and freedom of movement in Myanmar, with the conditions being described as similar to apartheid.

paragraph: Ivan Trayling

paragraph: Ivan Barry Trayling OAM is a former Australian politician.

paragraph: Section::::Early life and family.

paragraph: Ivan Trayling was born in 1936 in Hobart, Tasmania, the son of Ronald George Trayling, Chief Clerk of the State Superannuation Board of the State of Tasmania & the state Labor Party auditor, and Gwendoline Florence Iles.

paragraph: He went to A.G. Ogilve High School in Hobart, Tasmania and was a star athlete. Trayling broke a school record on 25 March 1952 which had stood for 14 years when he won the boys' 880 yards championship at the A. G. Ogilvie High School athletic sports, clipping 2 seconds off the previous record set in 1938. He followed that up the next day with winning the open 100 (in a record 10.1 seconds), 220 and 440 yards, giving him that year's open title. He was in the Australian Army Cadets for 5 years.

paragraph: In his first marriage, to Thelma Gwenneth Oberin, a descendant of immigrants from Germany, Scotland, Ireland, and England, he had two children, Sue and Richard. In 1977, after his divorce, he married Bernadette Simmons (daughter of CDR JB Simmons and Dr Charlotte Simmons), who was descended from a noble Portuguese family traced back to Braz Fernandes (1791–1865), Knight Commander of the Order of Christ and the first ever Vice Consul of Portugal in Bombay. They had one son, Mark.

paragraph: He is a graduate of the Australian Department of Defence Industrial Mobilisation Course.

paragraph: Section::::Political career.

paragraph: Section::::Political career.:Local government - St Kilda.

paragraph: Trayling joined the St. Kilda West Branch of the Labor Party in 1964 and campaigned for the need for a library, a child minding centre, as well as a range of other issues. A 31-year-old Marketing Manager at the time, Trayling became a Councillor for St Kilda in 1967 after defeating the sitting West Ward Councillor, Bill Bush, who had not been opposed before. His campaign was managed by Brian Zouch, a fellow Labor Party member and news editor for the Southern Cross, who made sure that all householders who had agreed to vote for Trayling did so by ticking their names off on the roll on polling day, then sending cars to fetch those who had not appeared so that they could vote as they had promised before voting closed.

paragraph: There had been community support for the creation of St Kilda Library but prior Councils had been consistently refusing to establish one. The council agreed to reverse their decades-old position when Trayling was elected, seeing the large community support behind his campaign. Trayling headed up a Library Sub-Committee as Chairman in 1969, with the Foundation stone being laid by him in 1972 in his then capacity as Mayor of the City of St Kilda. Although the creation of St Kilda Library is considered his biggest achievement in local government, he also delivered on his other promise of setting up a child minding centre.

paragraph: Trayling was also involved in the movement for abortion rights. Bill Dye headed the Abortion Law Reform Association, of which Trayling was a committee member. The Abortion Law Reform Association was formed in 1968 to press for law reform, with the more specific aim of securing legislation along the lines of Britain's Abortion Act.

paragraph: In 1972 Trayling became the Australian Labor Party member for the Legislative Council seat of Melbourne Province, which he held until 1982.

paragraph: He was at the time the youngest member of the Australian Labor Party in the Legislative Council.

paragraph: In his inaugural speech to Parliament he highlighted three main points: his concern with the growing differing laws and regulations amongst states such as with roads, censorship, health and workers compensation; certain competition between states were hurting the national interest; and revision of the structure of local government, which he believed had become over-governed and needed downsizing.

paragraph: From 1973 to 1979 he was Shadow Minister for Local Government. From 1973 to 1976 he was Deputy Chairman of the Osteopathy, Chiropractic and Naturopath committee, looking into the standard of care, extent & necessity of treatments etc. From 1976 to 1982 he was Chairman of the Conservation of Energy Resources and a member of the House Committee.

paragraph: Section::::Political career.:State government - Victoria.:Meetings with heads of state.

paragraph: In January 1972, Trayling met with Sweden's Prime Minister Olof Palme in Stockholm to discuss their mutual interest and support of the anti-Vietnam movement and the socialist policies of the day.

paragraph: In 1978 after Sydney's Commonwealth Heads of Government Meeting, India's Prime Minister Morarji Desai visited Melbourne to meet with Sir Robert Menzies, an old friend and Trayling, on the recommendation of Vadilal Dagli. Dagli was the editor of "Commerce" magazine in India and interested in an article on the views of India's future.

paragraph: Mereret (12th Dynasty)

paragraph: Mereret (or Meret) was an Ancient Egyptian "King's Daughter" known from her burial next to the Pyramid of Pharaoh Senusret III (ruled about 1878 BC to 1839 BC) at Dahshur. On the north side of the king's pyramid was a row of four pyramids belonging to the king's wives. These pyramids were connected by an underground gallery. On the west side of the gallery were further burials arranged for women with the title "king's daughter". They were buried in sarcophagi that were placed into niches. All burials were found looted. However, the robbers missed two boxes filled with personal adornments found in 1894 by Jacques de Morgan. One of these boxes must have belonged to a "king's daughter" Sithathor, the other box to a "king's daughter" with the name Mereret or Meret.

paragraph: Not much else is known about Mereret. Her name, with different spellings, appears on several scarab seals found in the jewellery box. Here, she always bears the title "King's Daughter". From the position of her burial it might be concluded that she was the daughter of King Senusret III. Among her personal adornments were also pieces with the name of King Amenemhet III, indicating that she might have died under that king (who was most likely her brother).

paragraph: Dennis Lambert

paragraph: Dennis Earle Lambert (born 1947 in Brooklyn, New York) is an American musician, songwriter and record producer.

paragraph: Section::::Career.

paragraph: Lambert began his music career in 1960 when he signed to Capitol Records as a recording artist. By the mid-1960s, he was writing and producing for other artists. Among his earliest work with his first main collaborator Lou Courtney were songs for Freddie & the Dreamers, Lorraine Ellison, Jerry Butler and Jerry Lee Lewis.

paragraph: In 1965, Lambert joined the A&R staff of Mercury Records where he was mentored by Quincy Jones and Shelby Singleton, before joining Don Costa at DCP Records, where he ran the label's A&R department, producing and writing songs.

paragraph: After a spell in the US army during the Vietnam war, he moved to Los Angeles in 1968 and the following year, forged a successful 11-year working collaboration with young British songwriter-musician, Brian Potter after the two met while Lambert was in London in 1969.

paragraph: Lambert and Potter joined a new record label in Los Angeles, Talent Associates, founded by producer-director Steve Binder, where they worked as producers and songwriters. They signed the Original Caste ("One Tin Soldier") and worked on developing the artist roster, which included Seals and Crofts. When Talent Associates was put up for sale, the publishing assets were sold in 1971 to ABC-Dunhill Records and the two also joined the label. They wrote and produced for The Grass Roots, Hamilton, Joe Frank & Reynolds, Gayle McCormick, the Four Tops, Dusty Springfield and Richard Harris, often working with A&R chief/producer Steve Barri. Lambert also released a solo album, "Bags & Things" in 1972.

paragraph: In 1974, they formed their own record label, Haven Records, distributed by Capitol Records, with a roster that included The Righteous Brothers, The Grass Roots, Evie Sands and Player. During this period, they also wrote and produced albums for Tavares and Glen Campbell on Capitol.

paragraph: Among the hit songs Lambert and Potter co-wrote and/or produced in the 1970s are "Ain't No Woman (Like the One I've Got)" (which Jay-Z later interpolated in "Ain't No Nigga") and "Keeper of the Castle" for the Four Tops; "Don't Pull Your Love", for Hamilton, Joe Frank and Reynolds, "Rhinestone Cowboy" and "Country Boy" for Glen Campbell; "It Only Takes a Minute" by Tavares; and "Baby Come Back" for Player. They produced The Righteous Brothers' major hit "Rock and Roll Heaven" which revived the duo's recording career in 1974.

paragraph: In the 1980s, Lambert continued to write and produce alone under his Tuneworks banner. Credits include hits with The Commodores ("Nightshift"), Starship ("We Built This City", "Sara"), The Temptations ("Love on My Mind Tonight"), Dennis Edwards ("Don't Look Any Further") and Natalie Cole ("Pink Cadillac", "I Live For Your Love").

paragraph: In the 1990s, Lambert wrote and produced for Dave Koz, Little River Band, Elaine Paige and Dionne Warwick, among others. He also composed the musical score to the film directed by Edward James Olmos, "American Me". In the mid-1990s, Lambert returned to New York and established Babylon Entertainment which included the record label imprint distributed by Trauma Records (BMG) and music publishing companies.

paragraph: Lambert moved to south Florida in the 2000s and was the subject of an award-winning feature-length documentary film, "Of All the Things", directed by his screenwriter son Jody Lambert, which followed him on a cross-country tour of the Philippines, where he is seen as an iconic singer-songwriter. In 2011, Warner Bros Pictures and Steve Carell optioned the rights to do a re-make based on Lambert's life story. Lambert and Potter also reunited to write a musical for Broadway which is in active development. Lambert has also performed live as a singer touring his show.

paragraph: Ralph Erskine (architect)

paragraph: Ralph Erskine ARIBA (24 February 1914 – 16 March 2005) was a British architect and planner who lived and worked in Sweden for most of his life.

paragraph: Section::::Upbringing and influences.

paragraph: Erskine was born in London in 1914, and spent his childhood in Mill Hill in Barnet. His parents were socialists, adherents of the Fabian Society, which promoted the idea of the evolution of Britain into a socialist state.

paragraph: His Scottish grandfather was a Presbyterian free church minister, a descendent of the ministers Ralph Erskine and Ebenezer Erskine, but his parents sent him to the Friends School Saffron Walden (1925–1931), a Quaker school, probably because of their socialist beliefs. There, he became committed to the Quaker ideals, which laid the foundation for his views on society, man's place in it, and on architecture.

paragraph: Section::::Education.

paragraph: During the 1930s, Erskine studied architecture for five years at the Regent Street Polytechnic, London under the direction of Thornton White. At the time, White's curriculum required the study of classical architecture before students were free to follow their own ideas. One of his fellow students was Gordon Cullen who would become a well-known architectural illustrator, urban designer and theorist. Cullen advocated the improvement of urban settlements through an understanding and analysis of their picturesque qualities. This approach was profoundly influential on Erskine, who insisted in his work that the context and landscaping of his buildings be carefully integrated.

paragraph: Section::::Career.

paragraph: After qualifying as an architect Erskine began work with the design team for Welwyn Garden City under the leadership of Louis de Soissons. He studied town planning and this interest broadened his approach to architecture, in particular about how buildings related physically and socially to their setting. In 1936 he became an associate of the Royal Institute of British Architects.

paragraph: Before the outbreak of World War II, Erskine travelled to Sweden. He was attracted there partly by his admiration for the work of the Functionalist Swedish architects Gunnar Asplund, Sven Markelius and Sigurd Lewerentz and partly by the country's adoption of the social welfare model. In Sweden the political will was reflected in the national architecture and these two factors coincided with his own humanist beliefs. He would go on to make an important contribution to the architectural landscape of both his adopted country and to that of England.

paragraph: In Sweden, England and Canada, he was responsible for the design of numerous innovative buildings reflecting his particular ideology. They include:

paragraph: BULLET::::- Gyttorp, Nora Municipality, Sweden, 1945 to 1955, housing project for a factory town.

paragraph: BULLET::::- Ski hotel at Borgafjall (1948–50)

paragraph: BULLET::::- "Shopping", the first purposely built enclosed shopping center in the world in Luleå, Sweden opened in October 1955 in the small town of Luleå in the very north of Sweden. (By the above definition "Shopping" in Luleå was actually the first Shopping Centre in the world, and Southdale in Minnesota, United States came second in october 1956.)

paragraph: BULLET::::- The "Brittgården" residential area at Tibro, Sweden, 1956 to 1959

paragraph: BULLET::::- Svappavaara, Kiruna Municipality, Sweden, 1962, housing project for a copper mine above the Arctic Circle (this project influenced the design of the northern town of Fermont, Quebec).

paragraph: BULLET::::- Esperanza row house area, Landskrona, Scania, Sweden, around 1968. Build up 1969-70.

paragraph: BULLET::::- Clare Hall, University of Cambridge, Cambridge, 1969.

paragraph: BULLET::::- Resolute, Nunavut

paragraph: BULLET::::- Eaglestone grid square, at Milton Keynes, from 1972 to 1976.

paragraph: BULLET::::- The Byker redevelopment, at Newcastle upon Tyne, from 1969 to 1982.

paragraph: BULLET::::- The Nya Bruket area in Sandviken, Sweden, 1973 to 1978.

paragraph: BULLET::::- The Stockholm University Library (opened in 1983), as well as several other buildings on the university campus including:

paragraph: BULLET::::- Aula Magna, the university's main auditorium

paragraph: BULLET::::- Ekerö centrum (Tappström) in Ekerö Municipality outside Stockholm, 1983 to 1989.

paragraph: BULLET::::- The Vasaterminalen bus terminal in Stockholm, together with Bengt Ahlqvist and Anders Tengbom

paragraph: BULLET::::- The London Ark, Hammersmith, London, 1990.

paragraph: BULLET::::- Greenwich Millennium Village, London, from 2000 to 2005.

paragraph: Erskine was best known in Great Britain for his Byker Wall housing scheme in Newcastle upon Tyne and, The London Ark, a commercial project in Hammersmith, London. However, it was his achievement in designing the winning scheme in a 1997 competition to develop the Millennium Community at Greenwich (Greenwich Millennium Village), London that brought his work to widespread attention of his compatriot Britons. This recognition came late in a productive, long and important career.

paragraph: Section::::Death and legacy.

paragraph: On his death in 2005, Councillor Peter Arnold, leader of Newcastle City Council said of Erskine that he "was one of the twentieth century's greatest architects and in Newcastle's Byker estate he gave the city one of Europe's finest post Second World War new housing communities. His approach was so different from everything happening around that time as he put the focus on social regeneration and the interests of local people, rather than just bricks and mortar. He built Byker Wall Estate around the community. Local people were fully involved in the design and rather than clearing properties and moving people elsewhere, the community was able to remain together.”

paragraph: Ralph Erskine founded his own company in Sweden in 1939. In 2000 he invited his long-time collaborator Johannes Tovatt into a partnership, naming the company Erskine Tovatt Arkitekter AB. It was Erskine's will that on his death his name be removed from the company. Therefore, his legacy lives on in the company called Tovatt Architects and Planners in Drottningholm outside Stockholm.

paragraph: Erskine also received an Honorary Doctorate from Heriot-Watt University in 1982

paragraph: In 1984, with his wife he established the Ruth and Ralph Erskine Nordic Foundation, endowed by proceeds from the Wolf Prize in Arts, which he was awarded that year. Beginning in 1988, the foundation has awarded a bi-annual prize of US$10,000 and a medal designed by Ralph Erskine, for any person, group or organisation that "has contributed to the construction of buildings or community structures of innovative social, ecological and aesthetic character. The contribution must respect functional and economical aspects, and be to the advantage of the less privileged".

paragraph: Erskine wrote the preface to the English translation of Jan Gehl's influential book "Life Between Buildings", published in 1986. In 1987 he was awarded the RIBA Royal Gold Medal.

paragraph: National Life Stories conducted an oral history interview (C467/8) with Ralph Erskine in 1997 for its Architects Lives' collection held by the British Library.

paragraph: Section::::Personal life.

paragraph: He met his wife Ruth at the Quaker school in Saffron Walden in the early 1930s. They were married in Stockholm in 1939 and had four children. Ruth died in 1988. He is survived by his children: Jane Kristina, Karin Elizabeth, Patrick Jon and Suzanne.

paragraph: Nicholas Leonicus Thomaeus (, ; 1456–1531) was a Venetian scholar and professor of philosophy at the University of Padua. He was one of the first professors of Greek descent to teach Greek in Padua.

paragraph: Section::::Biography.

paragraph: Thomaeus was born in Venice, Italy on February 1, 1456 to a Greek family from Epirus. While in Florence, he studied Greek philosophy and literature under the tutelage of Demetrios Chalcondyles. In 1497, the University of Padua appointed Thomaeus as its first official lecturer on the Greek text of Aristotle. In 1504, he was elected to succeed Giorgio Valla as chair of Greek in Venice, but because Thomaeus failed to take the post seriously, he was succeeded in 1512 by Marcus Musurus. In 1524, Thomaeus published a collection of philosophical dialogues in Latin, the first of which was titled "Trophonius, sive, De divinatione". He was admired by scholars such as Desiderius Erasmus for his philological capabilities. When the University of Padua was reopened after the wars of the League of Cambrai, Thomaeus taught at the university until his death on March 28, 1531.
