paragraph: Kim Dong-joo

paragraph: Kim Dong-Joo (Hangul: 김동주, Hanja: 金東柱) (born February 3, 1976 in Seoul, South Korea) is a South Korean third baseman, who plays for the former Doosan Bears in the Korea Baseball Organization. He bats and throws right-handed.

paragraph: Section::::Amateur career.

paragraph: While attending Baemyung High School in Seoul, South Korea, Kim's main position was shortstop, batting leadoff, but he was considered one of the best high school power pitchers as well. In 1992, Kim swept most of the major individual titles (best pitcher, home run, and runs batted in) in the Phoenix National Championship, the most prestigious annual high school baseball competition in South Korea, pitching to a 0.80 ERA and batting .600 with 10 runs batted in.

paragraph: Upon graduation from high school in 1994, Kim chose to enter college instead of the Korea Baseball Organization draft, and started his collegiate career at Korea University.

paragraph: In his freshman year, Kim quit pitching to switch focus to hitting. In the 1994 college season, he batted .308 with 2 home runs and 11 runs batted in, missing half of the season due to injuries.

paragraph: During his sophomore year in 1995, Kim batted .373 with 4 home runs and 14 runs batted in during the season, and earned the Most Valuable Player award in the national championship. In that same year, Kim was selected for the South Korea national baseball team, and competed in the 1995 Summer Universiade and Intercontinental Cup, manning right field and shortstop.

paragraph: In 1996, Kim had a true breakout season as a junior. During the season, Kim batted .402 with 11 home runs and 22 runs batted in. He also won the Most Valuable Player award with four home runs and a .625 batting average in the national championship. Prior to the 1996 Summer Olympics in Atlanta, United States, many had expected Kim to be chosen as a key member of the South Korean national team for the first Olympic medal in baseball. However, the manager of Korea University's major rival Yonsei University was named as the manager of the South Korean national team for the Olympics, and Kim was omitted from the final 24-man roster. In part due to the offensive void caused by Kim's absence, South Korea had one of the worst international results, ranked the lowest among the eight teams with a 1-6 record.

paragraph: As a senior at Korea University in 1997, Kim competed for the South Korea national baseball team in the Asian Baseball Championship. In the round-robin tournament, Kim smacked two home runs off Koji Uehara in the 3-2 loss to Japan. In the final game, Kim hit two home runs off Koji Uehara again to lead South Korea to a 9-8 victory over Japan and win the Asian Championship. In the tournament, Kim batted .538 with an astonishing 9 home runs and 19 runs batted in in only 26 at-bats. Kim finally won the Most Valuable Player award in near-unanimous vote.

paragraph: Section::::Professional career.

paragraph: Upon graduation from Korea University in 1998, Kim made himself eligible for the 1998 Korea Baseball Organization draft, and was selected by the OB Bears in the first round. He made his debut on April 11, 1998 against the Haitai Tigers and got his first hit in that game. In his rookie season, Kim batted a respectable .265 with 24 home runs, 121 hits and 89 runs batted in, appearing in 125 games as a starting right fielder. In November, Kim competed for the South Korea national baseball team in the 1998 Asian Games in Bangkok, Thailand. South Korea won their first Asian Games gold medal, beating Japan 13-1 in the finals, and Kim received a military exemption along with Park Chan-Ho, Seo Jae-Weong and Kim Byung-Hyun by winning gold.

paragraph: In 1999, Kim switched from right field to third base to focus strictly on hitting. In the 1999 regular season, Kim posted a .321 batting average with 22 home runs, 128 hits and 84 runs batted in. In November, Kim was selected for the South Korean national team again that won the gold medal at the 1999 Asian Baseball Championship in Seoul, South Korea, and helped the team to clinch an Olympic quota slot for 2000, hitting .273 with 2 runs batted in.

paragraph: In 2000, Kim posted a solid .339 batting average, compiling career-highs in home runs (31), hits (159) and runs batted in. He was runner-up for a batting title, finishing only .001 behind league-leader Park Jong-Ho, 3rd in hits, 4th in runs batted in, and 8th in home runs. He also won his first Golden Glove Award as a third baseman. In September, Kim competed for the South Korean national team in the 2000 Summer Olympics in Sydney, Australia, where they won their first Olympic medal in baseball by defeating Japan 3-1 in the bronze medal game. In the tournament, he led attack alongside Lee Seung-Yeop and Lee Byung-Kyu, going 7-for-24 with 5 runs batted in.

paragraph: In 2001, Kim failed to reach the 20 home run club for the first time as a professional, but he managed to hit a grand slam in game 5 of the 2001 Korean Series that helped the Bears beat the Samsung Lions to win their first Korean Series title since 1995.

paragraph: In 2002, Kim ranked 5th in batting (.318) and 6th in home runs (26), accumulating 132 hits and 79 runs batted in. In October, Kim competed in the 2002 Asian Games in Busan, South Korea, and led his team to their second Asian Game gold medal, hitting .313 with one home run and three runs batted in.

paragraph: In 2003, Kim had his best year in batting average, hitting .332 in 118 games. He had 137 hits in 401 at-bats, compiling 23 home runs and 89 runs batted in. He won his first career batting title and finished 8th in home runs.

paragraph: In 2004, Kim failed to post six consecutive seasons with a batting average above .300, finishing the year with a .286 average.

paragraph: In 2005, Kim batted .300-plus again (.301), but posted only 10 home runs and 81 hits, missing over 30 games due to an injury early in the season.

paragraph: Prior to the 2006 season, Kim competed for the South Korea national baseball team in the inaugural World Baseball Classic in March 2006. However, he injured his left shoulder while diving into first on an infield single in the top of the 6th inning in Team Korea's first WBC game against Chinese Taipei and thus missed the rest of the tournament. Due to the injury, Kim was sidelined for most of the 2006 season. He eventually came back to play in August, but appeared in only 43 games, posting career lows in nearly every offensive category - a .250 batting average, a .386 slugging percentage, 4 home runs, 16 runs batted in, 19 runs and 35 hits.

paragraph: In 2007, Kim bounced back from a disappointing previous year, batting .322 with 19 home runs and 78 runs batted in and stealing a career-high 11 bases in the regular season. He ranked 5th in batting, 6th in runs batted in and 7th in home runs, and won his second Golden Glove Award at third base.

paragraph: Kim enjoyed another solid season in 2008, racking up 104 runs batted in with a .309 batting average, 18 home runs and 112 hits. He was runner-up in runs batted in, 5th in slugging percentage, 4th in on-base percentage, and 9th in home runs. Kim won his third Golden Glove Award at third base, edging out Choi Jeong by 22 votes. In August, Kim competed in the 2008 Summer Olympics in Beijing, China as a member of the South Korean national team that won their first Olympic gold medal. In the tournament, he batted .294 with 5 hits in 17 at-bats, scoring 4 runs as a starting third baseman.

paragraph: In 2009, Kim posted his best batting average (.353) that ranked 4th best in the league. He was 1st in on-base plus slugging (1.049), 2nd in on-base percentage (.455) and slugging percentage (.593), and eighth for the runs batted in title (86).

paragraph: William of Tudela

paragraph: William of Tudela (in Occitan, Guilhem de Tudela; in French, Guillaume de Tudèle; fl. 1199-1214) was the author of the first part of the "Chanson de la Croisade Albigeoise" or "Song of the Albigensian Crusade", an epic poem in Occitan giving a contemporary account of the crusade against the Cathars.

paragraph: According to his own account in the first lines of his poem, William was born in Tudela in the Kingdom of Navarre (Spain). He refers to himself as "maestre" and "clerc", indicating that his studies entitled him to the title of Master and that he had taken minor orders. He specifically states that he studied geomancy.

paragraph: In or around 1199, William of Tudela went to Montauban (France) and lived there for 11 years. He claims that his knowledge of the future through geomancy impelled him to move in 1210 to Bruniquel, which had then just been bestowed on Baldwin, estranged brother of Count Raymond VI of Toulouse. The result of this move (and possibly one of its aims) was that William entered Baldwin's service. He became canon at Saint-Antonin (which, in the course of the Albigensian Crusade, Simon de Montfort, 5th Earl of Leicester had just captured and given to Baldwin). More importantly, William now began to compose the "Chanson de la Croisade Albigeoise". Work on the first part of this poem began in 1210, William implies, though in the form now known it seems to have been written in its entirety in 1213.

paragraph: Our knowledge of William's life ends in 1213 or 1214. One date is that of the capture (on 17 February 1214) and subsequent execution of Baldwin by his brother Raymond. William's poem speaks of Baldwin as still alive. Moreover, William's poem ends before the Battle of Muret on 12 September 1213: Baldwin's participation on the winning side in that battle, in which Raymond lost Toulouse and Raymond's feudal overlord Peter II of Aragon was killed, was the excuse for his execution as a traitor. If William survived these events, he was at any rate impelled by them to stop writing. The second part of the "Chanson" is written by another, unknown, poet.

paragraph: Tu Long (; Wade-Giles: T'u Lung, 1542–1605), was a playwright and essayist who lived during the Ming Dynasty. He was born in Yin county (now Yin county, in suburb of Ningbo city, Zhejiang).

paragraph: In 1577, Tu Long obtained the degree of jinshi. He later became the Chief Magistrate of Qingpu (now Qingpu county, Shanghai ). After he was libeled and quit his job, he concentrated on writing plays and essays.

paragraph: Tu Long rejected the adherence to strict ancient format, he advocated that a writer must write from his heart.

paragraph: He lived 62–63 years.

paragraph: He was a notable author of the xiaopin, a form of short literary essay.

paragraph: Tu Long is best known internationally for his work on the art of living: Kao Pan Yu Shi, (考槃余事, "Desultory Remarks on Furnishing the Abode of the Retired Scholar"), first published in 1606. "Desultory Remarks" has fifteen treatises:

paragraph: 15. Utensils of the studio

paragraph: The art historian Craig Clunas suggests that the "Desultory Remarks" is essentially a compendium, gathered from other existing sources, such as Gao Lian's "Eight Treatises on the Nurturing of Life", (for which Tu Long wrote a preface). Whether or not this is the case, Tu Long's discourses certainly had greater immediate recognition and influence; they were much more widely cited in later collections, and were a primary source for Wen Zhenheng's Treatise of Superfluous Things.

paragraph: Anthony Ashley Cooper, 4th Earl of Shaftesbury Bt PC FRS (9 February 1711 – 27 May 1771) was a British peer and philanthropist, who served as one of the leading figures in the foundation of the colony of Georgia and as Lord Lieutenant of Dorset from 1734 until his death.

paragraph: Section::::Family legacy.

paragraph: Shaftesbury's father, Anthony Ashley-Cooper, 3rd Earl of Shaftesbury, died in February 1713, leaving him fatherless in infancy, as well as heir to the family titles and estates. He grew up learning about the achievements of his father and great-grandfather and revering his family history. In 1732, he published a new edition of his father's influential work, "Characteristics of Men, Manners, Opinions, Times", also known as "Shaftesbury’s Characteristics". The book was among the most influential of the British Enlightenment; historian Benjamin Rand described the 3rd Earl as the “greatest Stoic of modern times.”

paragraph: Shaftesbury also commissioned a biography of his great-grandfather, and retained Benjamin Martyn for the project. He had become well acquainted with Martyn, Secretary to the Trustees for the Establishment of the Colony of Georgia in America when he became a member of that organization at its first annual meeting in 1733.

paragraph: Section::::Georgia Trustees.

paragraph: Shaftesbury was elected to the Trustees for the Establishment of the Colony of Georgia in America in 1733, less than a year after the group was created by royal charter. In light of his family’s intellectual tradition, he may have been among those Trustees who, following James Oglethorpe, saw the Georgia colony as a potential model society as well as one that addressed several more pragmatic purposes (see the Oglethorpe Plan). By 1750, however, Shaftesbury replaced Oglethorpe as a guiding force among the Trustees, tilting the governance of the colony in a more conventional direction and preparing it to become a royal colony in 1752.

paragraph: Section::::Biography.

paragraph: Osorkon II had many buildings raised during his reign, including a detailed monumental red granite hall in the 22nd year of his reign. Relief images of him and Queen Karomama decorate the walls.

paragraph: Queen Karomama (also known as Karoama B) was also a Royal daughter, but it is unclear which King was her father. As she is not titled Royal Sister, one can assume she was not Takeloth I's daughter, but the lack of the title King's Sister is not conclusive. Other candidates are Shoshenq II or Harsiese.

paragraph: J. Carlos

paragraph: José Carlos de Brito e Cunha, known as J. Carlos, (July 18, 1884 — October 2, 1950) was a Brazilian cartoonist, illustrator and graphic designer. J. Carlos also did sculpture, wrote vaudeville plays, wrote lyrics for samba and was a major talent in Brazilian Art Deco graphic design.

paragraph: Section::::Biography.

paragraph: Carlos was born and died in Rio de Janeiro. His first work, a drawing of a newcomer, was published in 1902 in the magazine "Tagarela". He soon became a regular contributor to the magazine and within less than a year, designed a cover.

paragraph: His oeuvre is estimated to be more than 100,000 illustrations, with a varied range of fictionalized personages and Brazilian popular figures of the time. From a quintessential Brazilian archetype comic strip, the whimsical little black girl named "Lamparina", and other curious cariocas type, to middle class characters and famed politics and society people, nobody in the Brazilian conscious mind escaped J.Carlos elegant line of perception.

paragraph: In the 1930s, J. Carlos was the first Brazilian to draw Mickey Mouse; he drew the character in covers and advertisements in the magazine "O Tico Tico".

paragraph: In 1941, Walt Disney visited Brazil, Disney was impressed with the style of J. Carlos and asked him to work in Hollywood, the illustrator declined, But Disney has sent a drawing of a parrot, inspiration for the creation of Joe Carioca.

paragraph: In 1950, while discussing his friend's, João de Barro, known as Braguinha, upcoming record cover illustration, J. Carlos suffered a brain stroke and died two days later. In the October issue of the magazine O Careta's, J. Carlos' last contribution was much sought after.

paragraph: Shu-Ilishu

paragraph: Shu-Ilishu (Akkadian: "Šu-ilišu"; "fl." "c." 1920 BC — "c." 1911 BC by the short chronology of the ancient Near East, or "c." 1984 BC — "c." 1975 BC by the middle chronology) was the 2nd ruler of the dynasty of Isin. He reigned for 10 years (according to his extant year-names and a single copy of the "Sumerian King List", which differs from the 20 years recorded by others.) Shu-Ilishu was preceded by Išbi-erra. Iddin-Dagān then succeeded Shu-Ilishu. Shu-Ilishu is best known for his retrieval of the cultic idol of Nanna from the Elamites and its return to Ur.

paragraph: Section::::Biography.

paragraph: Shu-Ilishu's inscriptions gave him the titles: “Mighty Man” — “King of Ur” — “God of His Nation” — “Beloved of the gods Anu, Enlil, and Nanna” — “King of the Land of Sumer and Akkad” — “Beloved of the god Enlil and the goddess Ninisina” — “Lord of his Land”, but not “King of Isin” (a title which was not claimed by a ruler of Isin until the later reign of Ishme-Dagan). Shu-Ilishu did, however, rebuild the walls of his capital city Isin. He was a great benefactor of Ur (beginning the restoration which was to continue through his successors Iddin-Dagān and Išme-Dagan). Shu-Ilishu built a monumental gateway and recovered an idol representing Ur's patron deity (Nanna, god of the moon) which had been expropriated by the Elamites when they sacked the city, but whether he obtained it either through diplomacy or conflict is unknown. An inscription told of the city's resettlement: “He established for him when he established in Ur the people scattered as far as Anšan in their abode.” The “Lamentation over the Destruction of Ur” was composed around this time to explain the catastrophe, to call for its reconstruction and to protect the restorers from the curses attached to the ruins of the é.dub.lá.maḫ.

paragraph: Shu-Ilishu commemorated the fashioning of a great emblem for Nanna, an exalted throne for An, a dais for Ninisin, a magur-boat for Ninurta, and a dais for Ningal in year names for Shu-Ilishu's reign. An adab (or hymn) to Nergal was composed in honor of Shu-Ilishu, together with an adab of An and perhaps a 3rd addressed to himself. The archive of a craft workshop (or giš-kin-ti) from Isin has been uncovered with 920 texts dating from Ishbi-Erra year 4 through to Shu-Ilishu year 3 — a period of 33 years. The tablets are records of receipts and disbursements of the leather goods, furniture, baskets, mats, and felt goods that were manufactured along with their raw materials. A 2nd archive (a receipt of cereal and issue of bread from a bakery, possibly connected to the temple of Enlil in Nippur) included an accounting record of expenditures of bread for the provision of the king and includes entries dated to his 2nd through 9th years which was used by Steele to determine the sequence of most of this king's year-names.

paragraph: Lucius Cornelius Scipio Barbatus

paragraph: Lucius Cornelius Scipio Barbatus (died c. 280 BC) was one of the two elected Roman consuls in 298 BC. He led the Roman army to victory against the Etruscans near Volterra. A member of the noble Roman family of Scipiones, he was the father of Lucius Cornelius Scipio and Gnaeus Cornelius Scipio Asina and great-grandfather of Scipio Africanus.

paragraph: Barbatus rose to preeminence as a patrician officer of the Roman Republic during the crucial period of the Third Samnite War, when Rome finally defeated a coalition of their neighbors: the Etruscans, the Umbrians, the Samnites, and their allies, the Gauls. The victory extended Rome's leadership and sovereignty over most of Italy.

paragraph: Section::::General of the third Samnite war.:Battle of Volterrae, 298 BC.

paragraph: Prior to 298 BC war had already broken out between Rome and Etruria when the Etruscans decided to invade Rome in combination with some Gallic allies they had purchased. The planned attack was a violation of a former treaty with Rome. The Gauls reneged and the Etruscans found themselves facing a Roman army under consul Titus Manlius who however died after a fall from his horse in a display of horsemanship. The election held to replace him made Marcus Valerius Corvus consul. He joined the army in Etruria and began to waste the country hoping to provoke the Etruscans to battle, which they refused.

paragraph: In 298 BC Appius Claudius followed by Publius Sulpicius became interreges for reasons unknown. Sulpicius held an election, which brought Barbatus and Gnaeus Fulvius Maximus Centumatus into consular office. The Lucanians spoke before the Senate saying that the Samnites were devastating their country and asking for the protection of Rome in exchange for a treaty and hostages. The Senate assented after a few moments' deliberation and dispatched heralds to tell the Samnites to withdraw. Encountering the Samnite army they were told that if they spoke in Samnium they would never leave there alive; consequently, the Senate declared war on Samnium. In a casting of lots as to which consul would take which war Barbatus won command of the army in Etruria while Centumatus undertook the initial campaign in the Third Samnite War.

paragraph: The Etruscans attacked immediately before Volterra. A day-long battle brought no victory but in the night the Etruscans withdrew to their fortified cities leaving their camp and equipment to the Romans. Encamping his army at the Etrurian border Barbatus led a lightly armed force in the devastation of the countryside.

paragraph: Section::::General of the third Samnite war.:Battle of Tifernum, 297 BC.

paragraph: In the next year the Etruscans sued for peace. The newly elected consuls for 297 BC, Quintus Fabius Maximus and Decius Mus led both armies against Samnium, Barbatus going as lieutenant general (legatus) under Maximus. As they advanced into Samnium laying waste to the country the Samnites were hoping to catch them in an ambush in a valley at Tifernum (Samniticum). Stationing a force there to entice the Romans they hid their main force in the hills behind. Fabius saw through the ruse and brought his army up in quadrangular formation before the "hiding place" of the Samnites, who then came down to fight a conventional battle, line-to-line.

paragraph: Unable to obtain a victory, Fabius withdrew the spearmen of the First Legion from the line and sent them under the command of Barbatus stealthily around the enemy flank into the hills behind, whence the latter had earlier descended. They were ordered to coordinate an attack from behind with an especially vigorous cavalry charge to the front of the Samnite line. The plan went entirely wrong: the charge came too soon and was repulsed. A counterattack was beginning to break the Roman line when Barbatus' men appeared on the hills and were mistaken for the second Roman army under Mus, a disaster for the Samnites if true. They abandoned the field posthaste leaving behind 23 standards and 3400 slain, while 830 were taken prisoner. In fact Publius Decius Mus was far away in south Samnium.

paragraph: Section::::General of the third Samnite war.:Campaigns under Claudius and Flamma, 296 BC.

paragraph: Having routed the Samnite army both consuls proceeded to the systematic reduction of Samnium over a period of five months until the next election. Mus travelled over the country conducting operations from 45 camps successively while Maximus utilized 86. After elections the new consuls ordered them to continue the war in Samnium for six months, each with the rank of proconsul. The Samnite army under Gellius Egnatius, unable to remain in Samnium, offered its services to Etruria, which were accepted; under Egnatius' leadership the Umbrians were brought in and Gallic mercenaries were hired. Calling a meeting of all the chief men in Etruria Egnatius declared that war for freedom was better than peace with servitude and announced his intention to attack Rome. The Etruscans assented.

paragraph: Receiving intelligence of the new dangerous circumstances the Senate dispatched Appius Claudius into Etruria in command of the First and Fourth Legions and 12,000 allied troops. Several inconclusive engagements were fought. The second consul for 296, Lucius Volumnius Flamma, was assisting the two proconsuls in the reduction of Samnium when the Lucanians defected, influenced by an appeal from the ordinary people of Samnium. Flamma claimed to have received a letter from Claudius asking for military assistance, a claim which was later denied by Claudius. Sending Maximus (presumably still with Barbatus) to the reduction of Lucania he departed for Etruria.

paragraph: Claudius was ill-pleased to see him and had ordered him away when all the officers of his own army met to insist that he be retained. The men took a voice vote of such magnitude that it alarmed the nearby enemy camp and they prepared for battle. The Romans went out to fight immediately, with Claudius giving in to a situation he had to accept. The Romans attacked so fiercely with Claudius, it is said, fighting in the front ranks along with the men and continually invoking the goddess of war, Bellona, with hands upraised to heaven, that they routed the combined enemy force and drove them from their camp, killing 7300 and taking 2120 prisoners.

paragraph: Meanwhile, the reduced forces of Maximus and Mus failed to restrain the Samnites, who raised another army with which they invaded and plundered Campania. Arriving there by forced marches Flamma learned that the Samnite army was encamped at the river Volturnus on its way back to Samnium. In the Battle of the Volturnus of 296 BC Flamma's army waited in ambush outside the gates of the Samnite camp. Flamma had sent in native spies the night before, who ascertained that the Samnites would make a dawn march. At dawn Flamma allowed part of the Samnite army to march out, splitting their forces, before he launched an attack that had such a momentum it was soon being fought in the camp. 7400 Roman prisoners taken previously by the Samnites freed themselves and joined in the fighting. At the end of the day the Romans had killed 6000, taken 2500 prisoners including four military tribunes and the commander, Statius Minacius, and captured 30 standards. They redistributed the Samnite booty to claimants and gave the unclaimed property to the soldiers. Samnite hopes in the south had been thwarted.

paragraph: News was received at Rome however that Gellius Egnatius had raised another army in the north consisting of Samnites, Etruscans, Umbrians and Gauls. The Senate, in a mood of despair, prepared to mobilize the last of the Roman forces. They ordered a draft of all males, including adolescents, the elderly and the sons of freedmen. For the first time they began to debate the permanent depopulation of Samnium (a measure that was never carried out).

paragraph: Section::::General of the third Samnite war.:The turning point, 295 BC.

paragraph: The elections of 295 BC were now upon the city. Flamma was recalled to conduct them. Maximus and Mus were elected, with Appius Claudius in the office of praetor. Maximus insisted on commanding in Etruria without the casting of lots that normally apportioned duties to consuls and after an intense public debate the Senate granted his request. He proceeded to Etruria, relieved Claudius of his command and sent him home on the grounds that he was a do-nothing commander who had allowed his men to sit in camp without even the exercise of marches for patrols and training. Thanks to Claudius, Maximus was soon recalled to account for his conduct of the Etrurian campaign and receive any further orders. Barbatus suddenly appears again in the account, indicating that he had been under Maximus' command all along. Maximus assigns Barbatus as propraetor of the Second Legion stationed temporarily at Clusium. He then departs for Rome.

paragraph: Section::::Patrician censor.

paragraph: At the time of his death Barbatus was the patrician censor of 280 BC. His censorate is notable because it is the first one of which we have a reliable record, though the position was quite old by that time.

paragraph: Section::::Sarcophagus and Epitaph.

paragraph: The Sarcophagus of Lucius Cornelius Scipio Barbatus was discovered in the Tomb of the Scipios (the only one to survive complete there), and is now in the Vatican Museums. It preserves his epitaph, written in Old Latin Saturnian meter (for translation see article on Saturnian meter).

paragraph: Elizete Cardoso

paragraph: Elizeth Moreira Cardoso (sometimes listed as Elizete Cardoso) (July 16, 1920 – May 7, 1990), was a singer and actress of great renown in Brazil.

paragraph: She was born in Rio de Janeiro; her father was a serenader who played guitar, and her mother was an amateur singer. Elizete began working at an early age and between 1930 and 1935 was a store clerk and hairdresser among other things. She was discovered by Jacob do Bandolim at her 16th birthday party, to which he was brought by her cousin Pedro, a popular figure among the musicians of the day. Jacó took her to "Rádio Guanabara" where, in spite of her father’s initial opposition, she appeared on the "Programa Suburbano" with Vicente Celestino, Araci de Almeida, Moreira da Silva, Noel Rosa and Marília Batista on August 18, 1936. The week after she was hired by the station to appear on a weekly program. Following this, she continued to perform on various shows with multiple radio stations. In the 1960s she had her own radio show.

paragraph: Due to her low pay, in 1939 she began to perform at clubs, movie theaters and other venues. She met with considerable success and her popularity increased significantly. In 1950, thanks to the support of Ataulfo Alves, she recorded "Braços vazios" (Acir Alves and Edgard G. Alves) and "Mensageiro da saudade" (Ataulfo Alves and José Batista), but the album was unsuccessful. Her next recording, also in 1950, met with popular approval. The album included Canção de amor (Chocolate and Elano de Paula), and the samba Complexo (Wilson Batista). The great success of Canção de amor led her, in 1951, to appear on the first television program in Rio de Janeiro on TV Tupi and helped launch her film career. She appeared in "Coração materno", by Gilda de Abreu, and Watson Macedo’s "É fogo na roupa".

paragraph: In 1958, Cardoso was invited by Vinicius de Moraes to be the singer of an album of songs written by himself and Tom Jobim. "Canção do Amor Demais" became the first album of bossa nova music, launching the new genre. The album was released on the "Festa" label. While Cardoso was not primarily considered a bossa nova singer, she is the vocalist on the original version of the bossa classic "Manhã de Carnaval" from the "Orfeu Negro" soundtrack.

paragraph: Elizete continued to sing and act with great success until her death. By the end of her life she had released well over 40 albums in Brazil, Portugal and other countries. During almost seven decades of artistic life, she interpreted many forms of music but her base was always samba, which she performed with great personality, and which earned her nicknames such as: "A Noiva do Samba-Canção" (the Bride of Samba), "Lady do Samba", "A Magnifica" (the Magnificent One), and the one most connected with her name, "A Divina" (the Divine One).

paragraph: Cardoso died of cancer at the age of 69.

paragraph: Lady Mary Fox

paragraph: Lady Mary Fox (née FitzClarence; 19 December 1798 – 13 July 1864) was an illegitimate daughter of King William IV of the United Kingdom by his mistress Dorothea Jordan. In later life she became a writer.

paragraph: Section::::Marriage.

paragraph: Mary FitzClarence was born in Bushy House as the fourth child and second daughter of the then Prince William, Duke of Clarence, and his companion Dorothea Jordan. She was "a fine looking, brown girl with a pleasant countenance and manners". In 1820, her younger sister Elizabeth was courted by Charles Richard Fox, the eldest but illegitimate son of Lord and Lady Holland. His parents did not consent to the match, but four years later approved of his relationship with Mary.

paragraph: The couple married on 19 June 1824 in St George's, Hanover Square, London. Lady Holland worried that she might be "a sickly subject" and wished that the "roturier blood of the mother might have mitigated the royal constitutions". Her mother-in-law wrote on 31 August that her son, "though fond of her, he only considers her as an auxiliary to his medals and other possessions, not as a principal", but concluded that "it will all do well; as she is very winning, and very firm, and sincerely fond of him." The pair established their household in Little Holland House by 1827. They moved to Canada in September 1829 when Charles resumed active army service.

paragraph: Section::::Father's accession.

paragraph: Mary Fox received from her father the second part of the Anthony Roll, which had been in the possession of the royal family since the reign of King Henry VIII, though she was probably not interested in the history of the Royal Navy. The death of her uncle, King George IV, in 1830 led to her father's accession to the thrones of the United Kingdom and Hanover. The new king was anxious to see his daughter return home and had her husband transferred. He granted her the rank of a marquess's daughter on 24 May 1831.

paragraph: Section::::Authorship and Anthony Roll.

paragraph: King William IV died in January 1837 and Lady Mary's cousin, Victoria, ascended the throne. Later that year, Lady Mary published a utopian feminist Gothic fiction narrative titled "An Account of an Expedition to the Interior of New Holland". Lady Mary's treatise is the most representative example of the portrayal of New Holland (Australia) as a mysterious and "unreal" place. In January 1857, Sir Frederic Madden, custodian of the manuscripts at the British Museum, learned that Lady Mary wished to sell the roll she was given by her father in order to raise funds for building a church "or something of that kind".

paragraph: For a large part of her later life, Lady Mary served as housekeeper at Windsor Castle. She died childless on 13 July 1864. She is buried with her husband at Kensal Green Cemetery.

paragraph: Akarova

paragraph: Marguerite Acarin (born Saint-Josse-ten-Noode, 30 March 1904; died Ixelles, 24 June 1999 at the age of 94) was a Belgian dancer, choreographer, and artist.

paragraph: Section::::Biography.

paragraph: Acarin is generally known by her stage-name, Akarova. She was called "the Belgian Isadora Duncan". She studied music and dance under Émile Jaques-Dalcroze, creator of eurhythmics, after which she joined the Antwerp ballet. She soon left due to disputes with the ballet mistress..

paragraph: In 1922, attending a meeting arranged by Isadora Duncan's brother Raymond, she met artist , with whom she would collaborate for many years. Baugniet coined Marguerite's stage name. They married on 31 October 1923, but separated in 1928. In this period she danced, choreographed, and designed sets and costumes, in performances to works by composers such as Igor Stravinski and Maurice Ravel. Her second marriage, to artistic patron Louis Lievens, took place on 6 April 1935. This marriage too ended in a separation, in 1939.

paragraph: Noted Brussels architect Jean-Jules Eggericx constructed a studio, performance venue, and home, for Akarova at number 72, Avenue de l'Hippodrome, Ixelles, in 1937. The venue opened on 30 January 1937 with performances by Akarova from Francis Poulenc's "Les Biches", Ravel's Boléro, and Stravinsky's The Rite of Spring. Performances at the Avenue de l'Hippodrome ended in 1957. After the closure, Akarova devoted her time to painting and sculpture. She died at home in 1999.

paragraph: Section::::Filmography.

paragraph: In 1991, artist Ana Torfs and graphic designer Jurgen Persijn created the video portrait "Akarova & Baugniet / L'entre-deux-guerres" (Ana Torfs and Jurgen Persijn, 1991). The portrait evokes the life course of both Akarova and Marcel-Louis Baugniet with the help of witness reports and archival material, and places their life and work as artists in the context of the Belgian avant-garde from the interbellum.

paragraph: In 1991 also Michel Jakar made a video documentary about Akarova: " J'aurais aimé vous voir dancer ... Madame Akarova " (Michel Jakar, 1991). In the video seven young choreographers / dancers (Michèle Noiret, Marc Vanrunxt, Patricia Kuypers, Nicole Mossoux, Michèle Anne De Mey, Marie Chouinard and Karine Saporta) come together with Akarova in the Akarova studio.

paragraph: Section::::In Search of Akarova.

paragraph: From 30 April to 11 June 2017, Ballets Confidentiels, a collaboration between choreographers/dancers Johanne Saunier and Ine Claes, organized the project In Search of Akarova. During that period they performed every Sunday a short dance performance, each time at a different location in Brussels. The choice of the different locations was inspired by the life of Akarova, and included the Madouplein / place Madou (Sint-Joost-ten-Node / Saint-Josse-ten-Noode), the Museumstraat / rue de la Musée (Brussels), the Koninginneplein / place de la Reine (Schaarbeek / Schaerbeek), the Park Pierre Paulus / Parc Pierre Paulus (Sint-Gillis / Saint-Gilles), the Akarovaplein / Place Akarova and the Brigitinnenstraat / rue Brigittines (Brussels), the Kapellemarkt / marche de la Chapelle (Brussels), the Weststation / gare de l'Ouest (Sint-Jans-Molenbeek / Molenbeek-Saint-Jean) and the Akarovastraat / rue Akarova (Elsene / Ixelles). Besides Johanne Saunier and Ine Claes, the dancer Guida Inês Mauricio, the musical duo Different Fountains and the drummers Joâo Lobo and Mathieu Calleja also participated in the project.

paragraph: Section::::Streets and squares named after Akarova.

paragraph: In 2006, Les Brigittines, the Brussels Contemporary Art Center for Movement and Dance, proposed to the city of Brussels to rename the space behind the Brigittinenkapel / Chapelle des Brigittines. The reason was the expansion of art center and the change of view of the existing street behind the Brigittinenkapel. In April 2008, the space was officially renamed Akarovaplein / place Akarova, in honor of Akarova, who was a pioneer for Brussels in the field of movement and dance. Also in Elsene / Ixelles a street was named after Akarova: the Akarovastraat / rue Akarova.

paragraph: Peter Regin

paragraph: Peter Regin Jensen (born 16 April 1986) is a Danish professional ice hockey player who is currently serving as captain for Jokerit of the Kontinental Hockey League (KHL). He was drafted by the Ottawa Senators in the third round (87th overall) of the 2004 NHL Entry Draft and played his first five NHL seasons with the organization. Prior to his NHL career he played professionally in Europe.

paragraph: Section::::Playing career.

paragraph: Regin played for the Herning Blue Fox of the Danish Elite League from 2002 to 2005, winning Rookie of the Year honours in 2004. In 2004, he was drafted by the NHL's Ottawa Senators using the third-round draft pick of the Colorado Avalanche, received in a trade for Shane Hnidy with the Nashville Predators. He played one more season with Herning. In 2005, he joined Timrå IK in the Swedish Elitserien league. He played three seasons for Timrå, increasing his goal and point production in each season.

paragraph: On 2 June 2008, Regin signed a multi-year entry-level contract with the Ottawa Senators. He was assigned to the Senators' minor league affiliate, the Binghamton Senators for the 2008–09 season. Due to injuries in Ottawa, he was called up and made his NHL debut on 20 January 2009, in a game against the Washington Capitals. He was returned to Binghamton one day later, registering no points in his NHL debut. Following the NHL All-Star break, he was recalled by Ottawa and scored his first NHL goal, the game-winner, in his third NHL game on 29 January against Chris Mason and the St. Louis Blues.

paragraph: Since beginning his NHL career, Regin has contributed to the rise in popularity of ice hockey in his native Denmark.

paragraph: In July 2010, Regin was re-signed to a two-year contract extension worth US$2 million by the Senators.

paragraph: Abe no Seimei

paragraph: Seimei worked as "onmyōji" for emperors and the Heian government, making calendars and advising on the spiritually correct way to deal with issues. He prayed for the well-being of emperors and the government as well as advising on various issues. He was also an astrologer and predicted astrological events. He enjoyed an extremely long life, free from any major illness, which contributed to the popular belief that he had mystical powers.

paragraph: The Seimei Shrine, located in Kyoto, is a popular shrine dedicated to him. The Abeno train station and district, in Osaka, are sometimes said to be named after him, as it is one of the locations where legends place his birth.

paragraph: Section::::Life and legends.

paragraph: Seimei's life is well recorded, and there is little question about it. Immediately after his death, however, legends arose much like those surrounding Merlin. Many legends of Seimei were originally written in the "Konjaku Monogatarishū", and by the Edo period there were many stories in circulation that focused on his heroic acts.

paragraph: His pedigree was not very clear. His ancestor might have been Abe no Masuki (安倍 益材), a "Daizen-no-daibu" (大膳大夫 "Master of the Palace Table"), or Abe no Shunzai (安倍 春材), a "Kokushi" of Awaji. Another candidate was Abe no Miushi (), who appeared as an "Udaijin" (右大臣 "Minister of the Right") in "The Tale of the Bamboo Cutter". Seimei might also have been a descendant of Abe no Nakamaro as Abe-no-Sukune-no-Seimei (安倍宿禰晴明), although some other sources recorded his name as Abe-no-Asomi-no-Seimei (安倍朝臣晴明), which refers to the Abe-no-Asomi descending from Abe no Miushi. The name Sukune (宿禰), through the Abe clan, was taken from Naniwa no Imiki (難波忌寸, later Naniwa no Sukune) of the Naniwa clan (難波氏), also known as the Naniwa no Kishi (難波吉士), which Naniwa no Mitsuna (, "") established.

paragraph: According to Anderson, Abe no Seimei was a descendant of the poet Abe no Nakamaro and a disciple of Kamo no Tadayuki () and Kamo no Yasunori, 10th-century diviners of the Heian court. He became Kamo no Yasunori's successor in astrology and divination, while Yasunori's son took on the lesser responsibility of devising the calendar. Seimei's duties included analyzing strange events, conducting exorcisms, warding against evil spirits, and performing various rites of geomancy. He was said to be especially skilled in divining the sex of fetuses and finding lost objects. According to the "Konjaku Monogatarishu", he correctly predicted the abdication of Emperor Kazan based on his observation of celestial phenomena.

paragraph: Seimei's reputation grew sufficiently that, from the late 10th century, the "Onmyōryō", the government ministry of onmyōdō, was controlled by the Abe clan. The Kamo clan likewise became the hereditary keepers of the calendar.

paragraph: The mystical symbol of the equidistant five-pointed star, referred to in the West as a pentagram, is known in Japan as the Seiman or the Seal of Abe no Seimei.

paragraph: According to legend, Abe no Seimei was not entirely human. His father, Abe no Yasuna (安倍 保名), was human, but his mother, Kuzunoha, was a "kitsune" (a "fox spirit"). At a very early age, no later than five, he was allegedly able to command weak "oni" to do his bidding. His mother entrusted Seimei to Kamo no Tadayuki so that he would live a proper human life and not become evil himself.

paragraph: The Heian period, especially the time when Seimei lived, was a time of peace. Many of his legends revolve around a series of magical battles with a rival, Ashiya Doman (蘆屋道満), who often tried to embarrass Seimei so that he could usurp his position. One noted story involved Doman and the young Seimei in a divination duel to reveal the contents of a particular box. Doman had another person put fifteen mandarin oranges into the box and "divined" that there were fifteen oranges in it. Seimei saw through the ruse, metamorphosed the oranges into rats, and stated that fifteen rats were in the box. When the rats were revealed, Doman was shocked and defeated.

paragraph: Seimei is involved in numerous other tales as well. He appears as a minor character in the "Heike Monogatari" and is said to be responsible for divining the location of the Shuten-dōji, a powerful oni purportedly slain by Minamoto no Yorimitsu. He is sometimes said to be the onmyōji who discovered Tamamo-no-Mae's true nature, although the time of the Tamamo-no-Mae story does not coincide with Seimei's lifetime; other sources credit the act to a descendant, Abe no Yasuchika.

paragraph: Section::::Legacy.

paragraph: After Seimei's death the Emperor Ichijou had a shrine, the Seimei Jinja, erected at the location of his home in 1007CE. The original shrine was destroyed in war during the fifteenth century, but it was rebuilt in the same location and still stands today. The Seimei Jinja located in Kyoto attracts fans of Seimei's interpretations in popular culture. In 2005, the shrine was renovated and decorated with pentagrams. The shrine sells amulets with pentagrams and the Chinese bellflower adorning them, both associated with Seimei. The shrine is now popular with fans of Seimei-inspired media, such as Okano Reiko's manga.

paragraph: The asteroid 5541 Seimei, discovered in 1976, is named for him.

paragraph: In 2015 Japanese figure skater, double olympic gold medalist Yuzuru Hanyu used the music from the movie Onmyoji for his free skating program and portrayed Abe no Seimei on ice. He also won his second consecutive olympic gold medal with the "Seimei" program.

paragraph: Section::::Legacy.:"Senji Ryakketsu".

paragraph: Abe no Seimei is credited with the writing of the "Senji Ryakketsu", an onmyōdo primer.

paragraph: Section::::In fiction.

paragraph: His name appears in many works of fiction, often as a helpful, wise man and rarely as an enemy, like as of at Sousei no Onmyouji - Twin Star Exorcists. There are exceptions such as Nurarihyon no Mago where Seimei was also a great ayakashi and the Lord of Darkness.

paragraph: The first modern fictional work credited with bringing back popular interest to onmyōdō mysticism in Japan is the 1985 historical fantasy novel "Teito Monogatari" by Hiroshi Aramata. In the novel's story two of the primary characters, Yasumasa Hirai and Yasunori Katō, are descendants of Seimei and have inherited all his knowledge. Yasumasa Hirai is a notable example because his appearance is modeled off classic depictions of Seimei and many of his actions are based on those of Seimei's from stories in the "Uji Shūi Monogatari". Yasunori Katō's first name "Yasunori" is derived from the name of Seimei's legendary teacher and he proudly wears Seimei's symbol, the Seiman (five-pointed star), on his gloves and handkerchief. Unlike Hirai though, Katō's burning hatred for the Japanese Empire has metamorphosed him into an oni. With one in defense of the Empire and one against it, the two men naturally become enemies. The rest of the novel chronicles the battle between their two factions.

paragraph: In 1988, Baku Yumemakura started a novel series named "Onmyōji" with Seimei portrayed as a handsome young man who lived in a Heian-period world populated by mysterious beings. This was turned into a manga by Reiko Okano and became popular with teenage girls. In 2002, an NHK television series was made, based on the novels. A version of Abe has also been rendered by acclaimed Taiwanese manga artist Ethan, who has stated that he is a huge fan of the novel.

paragraph: Since 1989, Abe no Seimei has been depicted as a bishōnen.

paragraph: The movie "Onmyoji", starring Mansai Nomura as Seimei, was released in 2001 (2004 in the U.S.) by Pioneer (now Geneon). As with any other work featuring both Seimei and Minamoto no Hiromasa, the film was based on Yumemakura's novels. Despite Yumemakura having been involved, the manga adaptation and the movie adaptation are quite different in style and plot.

paragraph: The horror/survival PlayStation 2 video game Kuon featured Seimei as a female exorcist who becomes a playable character near the end of the game.

paragraph: The anime/manga series "Twin Star Exorcists" features Seimei prominently, as the mother of the main character Enmadō Rokurō. The child of the Twin Star Excorists, Enmadō Rokuro and Adashino Benio, is also said to be the reincarnation of Abe no Seimei and is said to have Seimei as a Guardian.

paragraph: To capitalize on the success of the "Onmyōji" films (a sequel was made in 2003), Fuji Television produced a miniseries in 2004, called "". This series has no ties to cinematic releases.

paragraph: The character "Hao Asakura" from "Hiroyuki Takei"'s "Shaman King" is directly based on Seimei. Hao is the author of a magical book called Chō-Senjiryakketsu, clearly inspired by Seimei's "Senji Ryakketsu". They also share facts about their lives, such as their mother being called a demon fox and their ability to create "oni" since they were young.

paragraph: Seimei can be seen in the anime "Magical☆Shopping Arcade Abenobashi", which was released in 2004 in the U.S. by ADV Films. The show's focus was on the Onmyoji practice of changing events to avoid an ill occurrence and the misadventures of two youths. Seimei also appears in the anime "Gintama" as an onmyoji, as well as in the anime "Shonen Onmyouji" which is about his grandson. Seimei is a central character in the anime called "Otogi Zoshi".

paragraph: Abe no Seimei had been shown in a manga called "Nurarihyon no Mago" by "Hiroshi Shiibashi", as a Nue, dark lord of the Ayakashi, born from an evil fox. "Nurarihyon no Mago" was adapted into an anime series starting on July 2010.

paragraph: Abe no Seimei also appears in the manga Igyoujin Oniwakamaru as an evil spirit who plans to revive himself to begin his second life and rule over both humans and yokai.

paragraph: Seimei appears in the Anime New Getter Robo as the leader of the villainous oni.

paragraph: Abe no Seimei was made a playable character in the PlayStation 4, PlayStation Portable, Xbox One and Wii U versions of "Warriors Orochi 3".

paragraph: Seimei appears in the video game as a mitama (a soul of a hero from Japanese history).

paragraph: Abe no Seimei's origin story would be retold on the Japanese Animation television show, Folktales from Japan, in episode 83. His story would appear in third segment of the episode, telling the tale of the meeting of parents and early life known as Doujimaru. It would show how he would be commanded by his mother to become a fortune teller at the capital to help others.

paragraph: The second season of the anime features a female Abe no Seimei as its protagonist.

paragraph: Abe no Seimei appears in the PlayStation Vita game as the main villain of the game, a priest who places a curse on the main characters that shortens their lifespan to only 2 years.

paragraph: He appears in Kouta Hirano's "Drifters" manga series leading a group of magicians called the Octobrist Organization. Appearing as a young man, he has been pulled into an alternate world in which various historical figures are summoned, where their skills and techniques are needed by magicians in order to save their world from total destruction. It is mentioned in the English dubbed anime of Drifters that Abe no Haruakira was another way to read the kanji of his name.

paragraph: He also appears in the anime Fukigen no Mononokean with Ashiya as his companion rather than his rival.

paragraph: The anime Sousei no Onmyouji uses Abe no Seimei as a founder of Exorcism.

paragraph: Seimei is mentioned in part 2 of the mobile game Fate/Grand Order, as a pseudonym used by Ashiya Doman. It is confirmed that he is an Alter Ego class Servant.

paragraph: Onmyoji, a newly made mobile game featured Abe no Seimei as the protagonist who summons various Shikigami to ward off demons alongside his onmyoji comrades.

paragraph: Seimei plays a role in the Midnight Occult Civil Servants anime, about mild-mannered civil servants in Tokyo's Shinjuku ward who secretly manage a huge population of fairies and other magical creatures.

paragraph: Thérèse of France (1736–1744)

paragraph: Thérèse de France, (Marie Thérèse Félicité; 16 May 1736 – 28 September 1744) was a French princess, daughter of Louis XV of France and Marie Leszczyńska.

paragraph: Section::::Biography.

paragraph: Marie "Thérèse" Félicité de France was born at the Palace of Versailles as the sixth daughter and ninth child of Louis XV of France and his Polish-born consort Marie Leszczyńska. Known as "Madame Sixième" from her birth, she was later baptised Marie-Thérèse-Félicité and was known as "Madame Thérèse".

paragraph: As the daughter of a king of France, she was a "fille de France", (daughter of France). This rank allowed her the style of "Royal Highness" and she was the most important lady at court after her mother and her older sisters. However, daughters of the king were usually known as "Madame" followed by their baptismal name. In the case of Louis XV's daughters, when they were young, their baptismal name was replaced by an ordinal number as per their "arrival"; accordingly, "Madame Thérèse" was "Madame Sixième", as the sixth daughter.

paragraph: When she was barely two years old, "Madame Sixième" was taken to the Royal Abbey of Fontevraud in the Anjou province of France. She left with her sisters Princess Victoire of France (1733–1799), Princess Sophie of France (1734–1782) and Princess Louise of France (1737–1787). The princesses left Versailles on 6 June 1738 accompanied by furniture and a military escort. During her childhood, "Madame Sixième" was often ill, and her governess noted that it was probably due to the warm climate of the region. In mid-September 1744, "Madame Sixième" fell ill with smallpox. On 27 September, she was baptised. Her nurse and valet stood in as godparents. She died the following day. She was eight years old and had never seen her parents since her arrival at Fontevraud.

paragraph: "Madame Thérèse" was buried at the Abbey of Fontevraud, which, in earlier times, had been the traditional burial place of members of the House of Plantagenet.
