paragraph: Wartislaw III, Duke of Pomerania

paragraph: Wartislaw III (c. 1210 – 17 May 1264) was a Griffin duke of Pomerania-Demmin. Son of Casimir II of Pomerania-Demmin and Ingardis of Denmark, he was married to a Sophia of an unknown house. As he did not have any children, Pomerania-Demmin ceased to exist with his death.

paragraph: Ingardis ruled Pomerania-Demmin in place of young Wartislaw from Casimir's death 1219 until 1226. At that time, Pomerania-Demmin as well as the other part duchy Pomerania-Stettin were under Danish overlordship, which diminished after the 1227 Battle of Bornhöved and was finally dismissed when Wartislaw successfully countered a Danish expedition in 1234 with his Lübeck allies.

paragraph: 1236 was a harsh year for Pomerania-Demmin, as Wartislaw lost a great part of his possessions to his rivaling neighbors Mecklenburg and the Margraviate of Brandenburg. First, a Mecklenburgian expedition led by Henry Borwin III of Mecklenburg-Rostock annexed most of Circipania, the western part of the duchy comprising the "terrae" Gnoien, Altkalen and Demmin, leaving only the residential burgh of Demmin under Wartislaw's control. Also, Wartislaw had to recognize Brandenburg's overlordship over the remainder of his duchy in the 1236 Treaty of Kremmen. In the same treaty, he ceded the "terrae" Stargard, Wustrow and Beseritz to Brandenburg, which soon after were taken over by Mecklenburg and became known as Mecklenburg-Strelitz.

paragraph: Yet, in the North, Wartislaw was able to expand his sphere of influence up to the Ryck river into the territory of Hilda, now Eldena abbey set up there by the princes of Rügen. Wartislaw involved into developing Eldena's market and coastal settlement Greifswald by granting it market rights together with the Rugian prince and received the town as a fief from Eldena in 1248.

paragraph: Besides his struggles with his neighbors, Wartislaw enforced the Ostsiedlung in his duchy like his cousin and Pomeranian co-ruler Barnim I of Pomerania-Stettin. He invited German nobles to join his court and settlers to develop the countryside, also, he granted German town law in its Lübeck law specification to the growing towns of Greifswald (1250), Demmin (~ 1250), Kolberg (now Kołobrzeg) (1255, along with Cammin bishop Hermann von Gleichen), Greifenberg (now Gryfice) (1262), also, together with Barnim I of Pomerania-Stettin, Wolgast (1257), Wollin (now Wolin) (1262) and Stavenhagen (1252).

paragraph: When Wartislaw died without leaving a son, Pomerania-Demmin would have fallen to Brandenburg, if Barnim I had not been accepted as co-ruler in the 1250 Treaty of Landin and therefore integrated what was left of Pomerania-Demmin after the territorial losses of 1236 into his Stettin-based duchy. Wartislaw III's and his mother Ingardis' burial site is Eldena Abbey near Greifswald.

paragraph: Carl Nebel (18 March 1805 – 4 June 1855) was a German engineer, architect and draughtsman, best known for his detailed paintings of the Mexican landscape and people during the battles of the Mexican–American War.

paragraph: Section::::Biography.

paragraph: Nebel was born at Altona, today a part of Hamburg. After studies in Hamburg and Paris, he travelled to America, where he was a resident of Mexico from 1829 until 1834. In 1836, he published in Paris his renowned illustrated work on that country—"Voyage pittoresque et archéologique dans la partie la plus intéressante du Méxique", with 50 lithographs made from his paintings, twenty of which were hand-colored, and an introduction by Alexander von Humboldt.

paragraph: Kʼakʼ Tiliw Chan Yopaat

paragraph: Kʼakʼ Tiliw Chan Yopaat, previously known variously as Cauac Sky, Kawak Sky, Butsʼ Tiliw and Butzʼ Tiʼliw, was the greatest leader of the ancient Maya city-state of Quiriguá.

paragraph: Section::::Reign.

paragraph: Kʼakʼ Tiliw Chan Yopaat ruled the city from 724 to 785 AD. The most significant event of his reign—and of Quiriguá's history—occurred in AD 738 (9.15.6.14.6 on the Mayan calendar), when his forces defeated the city of Copán. The ruler of Copán, Uaxaclajuun Ubʼaah Kʼawiil (formerly known as "18 Rabbit") was captured and later beheaded.

paragraph: Before Kʼakʼ Tiliw Chan Yopaat's bold move, Quiriguá had been a vassal of Copán. The defeat of Copán led to its decline but heralded a golden age for its former dependent. For the next 38 years, stonecutters of Quiriguá created zoomorphs and stelae celebrating their legendary king. Quiriguá became a fully autonomous city which controlled the main trade route from the Caribbean to the Maya world. Meanwhile, this incident was followed by a 20-year hiatus in inscriptions at Copán, as well as the disappearance of any further mention of 18 Rabbit.

paragraph: Current evidence leads to the conclusion that Kʼakʼ Tiliw Chan Yopaat died in 785 AD. There remains a stone at Quiriguá, now identified as Zoomorph G, which seems to have served as his funeral marker.

paragraph: Two other rulers are known to have reigned at Quiriguá in ensuing years—Sky Xul and Jade Sky—each for about ten years. But none reached the heights achieved by their predecessor.

paragraph: Richard Weston (treasurer)

paragraph: Sir Richard Weston (1465–1541), KB, of Sutton Place in Surrey, was a courtier and diplomat who served as Governor of Guernsey, Treasurer of Calais and Under-Treasurer of the Exchequer during the reign of King Henry VIII.

paragraph: Section::::Origins.

paragraph: He was born about 1465/6, the eldest son of Edmund Weston of Boston in Lincolnshire by his wife Catherine Cammel, daughter and heiress of Robert Cammel of Fiddleford in Dorset. He quartered the canting arms of Cammel, also of Shapwick, Dorset: "Argent, three camels sable". His brother was Sir William Weston (died 1540), the last Prior of the Order of St John in England, deemed Premier Baron of England.

paragraph: Section::::Career.

paragraph: Immediately after his accession on 22 May 1509, Henry VIII appointed Weston to several offices, including that of governor of Guernsey. In 1511, Weston served under Thomas, Lord Darcy, in the English contingent sent to assist King Ferdinand of Spain in his campaign against the Moors. Upon his return, Weston visited the court of Spain and received considerable honour. He was knighted by Henry VIII in 1514 and from 1516 was in personal attendance on the king as Knight of the Body. On 3 January 1518, he was dubbed Knight of the Bath. In 1519, he was one of the four "sad and ancient knights" who were "put into the king's privy chamber". In 1520, he followed Henry to the Field of the Cloth of Gold. In 1521, he sat on the jury which tried and condemned Edward Stafford, 3rd Duke of Buckingham. The manor of Sutton was granted to him on the day of the Duke of Buckingham's execution (17 May 1521).

paragraph: In 1523, Weston served under Charles Brandon, 1st Duke of Suffolk, in France; in 1525, he became Treasurer of Calais and, in 1528, under-treasurer of England. He also served as knight of the shire for Berkshire in 1529.

paragraph: His main residences were Cranbourne Lodge, where he was the keeper, and Ufton Court, both in Berkshire, and then Sutton Place, Surrey, the last two being granted to him by the king. In 1533, Henry VIII paid a state visit to Sutton. Thomas Cromwell was a guest there later.

paragraph: In 1539, Weston was appointed to meet Anne of Cleves on her arrival in England. He must then have been considerably over seventy years of age. In 1542, he surrendered his post of sub-treasurer of England "ob senectutem debilitatam et continuam infirmitatem" (20 January) and died on 7 August. He was buried in his family chapel in Holy Trinity Church, Guildford. His eldest son, Francis, predeceased him, so Francis's son, Henry Watson, succeeded at age six to his grandfather's estates.

paragraph: Frederic Harrison wrote:

paragraph: Codex Urbanus

paragraph: Codex Urbanus (born 1974) is a Parisian street artist that has been painting imaginary animals on the walls of Paris since 2011. He is mostly active in Montmartre.

paragraph: Section::::The Vandal Bestiary.

paragraph: Codex Urbanus means “Urban Manuscript” in Latin and was originally the name of the night bestiary the artist was illegally painting on the walls of Montmartre. Each creature is a mix of different existing animals, that can usually be identified by the binomial name in Latin under it. “Codex Urbanus” always appears above it, leading passers-by and fans to call the artist that name.

paragraph: Codex uses paint markers to work, and his style is inspired by the illuminated manuscripts of the medieval amanuensis, with a nod towards modern day genetics. Influences from Hieronymus Bosch to French cartoon artists such as Joann Sfar are also to be found in his bestiary. He does not look for technical excellence but seeks rather a free expression, a way to convey his dreams straight from his mind to the cement.

paragraph: To this day, there are over 200 different creatures that have been painted in the streets of Paris and a few other cities.

paragraph: Section::::Other activities.

paragraph: Section::::Other activities.:Festivals.

paragraph: As a French street artist, Codex Urbanus has taken part in different Urban Art festivals, such as Rue des Arts in Aulnay-sous-Bois or In Situ Festival in Aubervilliers in 2014. He has been painting wall at Burning Man each year since 2012.

paragraph: Section::::Other activities.:Exhibitions.

paragraph: Since his first show in 2013 at the parisian gallery Le Cabinet d'Amateur, Codex Urbanus has shown his work worldwide. In September 2014 he was part of the Dalí Fait le Mur group show at the Espace Dalí in Paris, and he was the only live painter ever invited for a solo show in May 2016 at the French Musée national Gustave Moreau in Paris. He organized a street art show on fans at the Paris Musée de l’éventail in 2015 and in the London Fan Museum in Greenwich in 2017.

paragraph: Willi Birkelbach

paragraph: Willi Birkelbach (12 January 1913 17 July 2008) was a West German politician (SPD). He was a member of the West German Bundestag (national parliament) between 1949 and 1964. Between 1952 and 1964 he also served as an increasingly prominent Member of the European Parliament (and its precursor body).

paragraph: In 1971 he became the first ever in the State of Hessen. The title of the post has changed, most recently in Germany, to Datenschutzbeauftragter ("loosely, "Data Protection officer""). Hessen was the first state in West Germany to appoint a "Datenschutzbeauftragter", which means that Willi Birkelbach was the first Data Protection Officer/Commissioner/Registrar in the German Federal Republic.

paragraph: Section::::Biography.

paragraph: Section::::Biography.:Early years.

paragraph: Willi Birkelbach was born in Höchst (today part of Frankfurt am Main), the son of Johann Birkelbach (1880-1964) by his marriage to Luise Schäfer (1888-1978). Johann Birkelbach worked, at different stages, as a coachman and as a factory worker. He was an active trades unionist and participated, in his later years, in regional politics. Slightly unusually for the time, Willi Birkelnach was the child of a "mixed marriage": Johann Birkelbach was from a Catholic family while Luise Birkelbach was a Protestant.

paragraph: Willi Birkelbach completed his schooling at a secondary school in 1932 and joined a company called "Marx und Hart" where between 1932 and 1935 he undertook an apprenticeship in business, with a particular focus on foreign trade and industrial accounting. Thus qualified he represented various German firms in Switzerland, France, England and Italy. Businesses for which he worked included "Röhm und Haas" in Darmstadt (1936-1938), Hochtief AG of Frankfurt (1938) and "Kulzer & Co", also of Frankfurt (1941-1942). There were two significant gaps in his employment record during the twelve National Socialist years which relate to his political involvement.

paragraph: Section::::Biography.:Middle years.

paragraph: In 1946 he came home to Frankfurt. He returned to "Kulzer & Co" where between 1946 and 1947 he was in charge of the bookkeeping. In 1947 he took over at the DGB (trades union congress) college for State of Hessen, located in Oberursel. He remained in this post till 1950/1951. There was nevertheless a significant break during 1948/49 when he undertook a study trip to the United States, which came with a bursary.

paragraph: Between 1953 and 1958 he represented the IG Metall union as a member of the supervisory board at Mannesmann AG. Then, till 1978, he took a similar position at the , serving between 1968 and 1978 as deputy board chairman.

paragraph: Section::::Politics.

paragraph: Section::::Politics.:Under National Socialism.

paragraph: Still aged only 17, Willi Birkelbach joined the Social Democratic Party (""Sozialdemokratische Partei Deutschlands"" / SPD) in 1930. Politics were already deeply polarised at the time, with the Reichstag gridlocked by two extremist political parties that would neither work with the mainstream moderate parties nor react to the logic of the 1932 national election results by entering into a Nazi-Communist coalition between themselves. In January 1933 matters nevertheless took a turn for the worse when the National Socialists took power and lost no time in transforming the country into a one-party dictatorship. Political activity - except in support of the government - was banned. Birkelbach, however, worked illegally between 1934 and 1938 for the Socialist Workers' Party (""Sozialistische Arbeiterpartei Deutschlands"" / SAP) which had broken away from the mainstream SPD in 1931 in order to push, belatedly, for closer collaboration between Communists and Socialists so as to block a take-over by nationalist populists. On 10 October 1938 Birkelbach was arrested by the Gestapo. He faced the justice system and was charged with preparing to "commit high treason" (""Vorbereitung zum Hochverrat""), which was the usual charge under such circumstances. He was convicted and sentenced to a thirty-month jail term. He spent those thirty months in prisons in Butzbach and Münster. Slightly more than eighteen months following his release, on 15 November 1942, he was conscripted into punishment division 999 (""Strafdivision 999""), a recently created penal military unit intended for fighting in North Africa. However, the fortunes of war moved on, and by the time he was captured he had been sent to fight in Greece. He managed - possibly with others - to desert and join up with Greek partisans, whom he accompanied northwards into Albania. Here he was captured by the British. He spent approximately two years, between 1944 and 1946, as a Prisoner of war. The British took him to a prisoners' camp in Egypt. Most of the other prisoners were also German, and together they set up what they called a "desert university" (""Wüstenuniversität""), studying to prepare, Birkelbach later said, for a postwar return to democratic structures.

paragraph: Section::::Politics.:After 1945.

paragraph: Section::::Politics.:After 1945.:National Parliament.

paragraph: In August 1949 the newly launched West German Republic held the first democratic general election in which Germans had participated since 1932. Birkelbach was elected an SPD member of it, representing the electoral district, gaining slightly less than 40% of the constituency vote and comfortably out-polling his CDU and FPD rival candidates. He remained a Bundestag member till retiring from the chamber on 30 September 1964. Due to the national election results during those fifteen years he was always in opposition, however.

paragraph: Section::::Politics.:After 1945.:European parliament.

paragraph: Between 1952 and 1964 he was also a member - and from 1959 to 1964 chairman - of the Socialist group in the European Parliament.

paragraph: In December 1961 Birkelbach headed up a European Parliamentary Commission mandated to recommend the criteria for new member states. The resulting "Birkelbach Report" covered geographic and economic criteria, but it also extended to political considerations such as democracy and the rule of law. In January 1962 the report was accepted in a cross-party basis, and a few months later it served as the basis for the rejection of Francoist Spain as a membership candidate.

paragraph: Section::::Politics.:After 1945.:Party.

paragraph: Between 1954 and 1963 he was regional SPD (party) chairman for Hessen-South, and between 1954 and 1958 he was a member of the national party executive. Partly in response to the way in which the party seemed to be locked in permanent opposition on the national stage, and partly because developments in East Germany had led to "socialism" becoming confused in the minds of many with a Soviet expansionist foreign policy, the 1950s were a period of intense soul-searching within the SPD. That was crystallised in five years of relatively structured internal debate which resulted in the 1959 publication of the Godesberg Program which rejected the goal of replacing capitalism, instead adopting a commitment to "reform capitalism". Brikelbach himself is identified in some sources as one of the (many) authors of the report. Willi Birkelbach lined up with Wolfgang Abendroth, accepting the need for modernisation, but without abandoning the party's socialist core. By 1958 Birkelbach was finding himself increasingly at odds with the party leadership over the Godesberg process, and that year he did not seek re-election to the SPD national party executive.

paragraph: He nevertheless remained actively engaged with the party. In 2005, now more than ninety years old, he was still appearing as a speaker in Frankfurt during the General Election campaign.

paragraph: Section::::Politics.:After 1945.:Other public offices.

paragraph: Between 1964 and 1969 Birkelbach was employed as a secretary of state and, in effect, the head of the of the State of Hessen. During this time he employed Christel Guillaume as a senior typist-secretary, with a desk directly outside his own office. It later emerged that Christel Guillaume was working for East German intelligence, and in 1974 she was sentenced to an eight-year prison term for espionage. She was sent back to East Germany where she was feted as a in 1981 as part of a wider "spy-swap". (Outside Germany she is better known to historians and commentators as the wife of Günter Guillaume, whose own espionage activities led to the political downfall of Chancellor Brandt.)

paragraph: Between 1966 and 1976 Birkelbach was a member of the broadcasting council of the Frankfurt-based public broadcaster, Hessischer Rundfunk, as a representative of the state government.

paragraph: In 1971 Willi Birkelbach became the first ever in the State of Hessen. The for the state of Hessen, widely seen as the world's first statute on data protection, had been authored by a Frankfurt law professor called Spiros Simitis. Simitis was installed as Birkelbach's deputy and there was a widespread perception that Simitis was the real moving force in the new department, but Simitis, despite having been educated in West Germany, was Greek. (Greece was not yet a member of the .) In 1975 Spiros Simitis belatedly obtained West German citizenship and took over as for the State of Hessen. Birkelbach retired. But it was Birkelbach who enjoyed the distinction of being the first Data Protection Commissioner anywhere in the German Federal Republic.

paragraph: John T. Hughes

paragraph: John T. Hughes (July 25, 1817 – August 11, 1862) was a colonel in the Missouri State Guard and Confederate Army during the American Civil War. He might also have been a brigadier general at the time of his death but documentation of the appointment is lacking.

paragraph: Section::::Early life career, and Mexican War.

paragraph: John Taylor Hughes was born July 25, 1817 near Versailles, Kentucky to Samuel and Nancy (Price) Hughes. His family moved to Fayette, Missouri when he was very young. He was an 1844 graduate of Bonne Femme College and taught school until the outbreak of the Mexican War in 1846. He enlisted as a private in the 1st Regiment Missouri Mounted Volunteers of Doniphan's expedition and penned his personal account of the trek upon his discharge in 1847.

paragraph: Hughes' book provided national fame and following his move to Plattsburg, Missouri in 1848, he became editor of a Clinton County, Missouri newspaper, the school superintendent, militia colonel, and state representative in 1854. He was also a planter and slaveowner.

paragraph: Section::::Civil War and death.

paragraph: Hughes was a cousin to Sterling Price and like Price professed Conditional Unionism until the Camp Jackson Affair, after which he joined the Missouri State Guard and was elected colonel of the 1st Regiment, 4th Division. He participated in the Battle of Carthage and the Battle of Wilson's Creek. He was slightly wounded in the Siege of Lexington.

paragraph: At the Battle of Pea Ridge in March 1862, Hughes took over command of a brigade from the wounded Brigadier general William Yarnell Slack. Hughes returned to Missouri in the summer of 1862 to recruit for the Confederacy. At this time he may have been appointed as either an acting Confederate or Missouri State Guard brigadier general. No record of the appointment has been found but he was known as "general."

paragraph: He, his recruits, and several other recruiting or partisan bands united to attack the garrison of Independence, Missouri on August 11, 1862 with Hughes in overall command. During this battle (the First Battle of Independence), he was killed instantly by a shot to the head while leading a charge, but the city was captured. He is interred at Woodlawn Cemetery in Independence. He left behind a wife, Mary, and five young sons.

paragraph: François Feuardent

paragraph: François Feuardent (1539 – 1 January 1610) was a French Franciscan theologian, and preacher of the Ligue.

paragraph: Section::::Life.

paragraph: Feuardent was born at Coutances, Normandy. Having studied humanities at Bayeux, he joined the Friars Minor. After the novitiate, he was sent to Paris to continue his studies, where he received (1576) the degree of Doctor in Theology and taught at the university.

paragraph: He took a leading part in the political and religious troubles in which France was involved at that time. With Jean Boucher and Guillaume Rose, bishop of Senlis, he was one of the foremost preachers in the cause of the Catholic Ligue. As Roennus remarks in an appendix to Feuardent's "Theomachia", there was not a church in Paris in which he had not preached. Throughout France and beyond the frontiers in Lorraine and Flanders, he was a defender of the Catholic faith. Pierre de l'Etoile, a fierce adversary of the Ligue, recognises in his "Mémoires" Feuardent's subsequent efforts in pacifying the country.

paragraph: In his old age he retired to the convent of Bayeux, which he restored and furnished with a good library. He died in Paris.

paragraph: Section::::Works.

paragraph: His works can be grouped in three classes: (1) Scriptural; (2) patristical; (3) controversial. They included:

paragraph: (1) A new edition of the medieval Scripturist, Nicholas of Lyra: "Biblia Sacra, cum glossa ordinaria ... et postillâ Nicolai Lyrani" (Paris, 1590), 6 vols. fol.). He also wrote commentaries on various books of Holy Scripture, viz on Ruth Esther, Job, Jonas, the two Epistles of St. Peter, the Epistles of St. Jude and St. James, the Epistle of St. Paul to Philemon, and others.

paragraph: (2) "S. Irenaei Lugd. episcopi adversus Valentini . . . haereses libri quinque" (Paris, 1576); "S. Ildephonsi archiepiscopi Toletani de virginitate Mariae liber" (Paris, 1576). Feuardent also wrote an introduction and notes to "Michaelis Pselli Dialogus de energiâ seu operatione daemonum translatus a Petro Marrello" (Paris, 1577).

paragraph: (3) "Appendix ad libros Alphonsi a Castro (O.F.M.) contra haereses" (Paris, 1578). "Theomachia Calvinistica", his chief work, is based on some earlier writings, such as: "Semaine premiere des dialogues auxquels sont examinees et refutees 174 erreurs des Calvinistes" (1585); "Seconde semaine des dialogues ..." (Paris, 1598); "Entremangeries et guerres mininstrales ..." (Caen, 1601).

paragraph: Martin of Cochem

paragraph: Martin of Cochem (born at Cochem on the Mosel, 13 December 1630 or 1634; died in the convent at Waghäusel, 10 September 1712) was a German Capuchin theologian, preacher, and ascetic writer.

paragraph: Section::::Life.

paragraph: He came from a Catholic family, and while still young entered the novitiate of the Capuchins. After his ordination to the priesthood, he was assigned to a professorship of theology.

paragraph: In 1666, he was involved in the care of plague victims, and began to compose short popular religious treatises. Martin then made a specialty of popular preaching and religious writing in the Archdiocese of Trier and Archdiocese of Ingelheim. He continued up to the time of his death, hearing confessions with the aid of an ear-trumpet.

paragraph: Section::::Works.

paragraph: The most voluminous is an ecclesiastical history in 2 vols, fol., composed for apologetic purposes and provoked by the attacks made upon the Catholic Church by Protestantism. However, the author brought it down only to the year 1100.

paragraph: Father Martin's other works embrace a great variety of subjects: the life of Christ, legends of the saints, edifying narratives, the setting forth of certain points in Christian asceticism, forms of prayer, methods to be followed for the worthy reception of the sacraments, etc. The best known is "Die heilige Messe", on which, according to his own statement, he spent three years.

paragraph: James Mavor

paragraph: James Mavor (December 8, 1854 – October 31, 1925) was a Scottish-Canadian economist. He served as a Professor of Political Economy of the University of Toronto from 1892 to 1923. His influence upon Canadian economic thought is traced to as late as the 1970s. He played a key role in resettling Doukhobor religious dissidents from the Russian Empire to Canada. He was also a noted arts promoter.

paragraph: Section::::Life and career.

paragraph: Mavor was born in Stranraer, Scotland, to a Free Church of Scotland minister and teacher James Mavor, and Mary Ann Taylor Bridie. He studied in Glasgow University. After that he taught for some time in a Glasgow college and read special courses in Glasgow University and Edinburgh University. He was also an editor for "Scottish Art Review". He also became active in the Socialist League, chairing its Scottish district.

paragraph: In 1892, upon the recommendation of University of Toronto Professor William Ashley who was leaving for Harvard University, he took Ashley's chair of Political Economy and Constitutional History, moving to Toronto with his family (including daughter Dora who would later become a major figure in Canada's theatre). After 1892, he spent most of his life in Toronto, leaving only for short trips.

paragraph: In 1893, James Mavor was a founding member of the Toronto Chapter of the Alpha Delta Phi Literary Society.

paragraph: At the start, he caused turmoil when he stated Canada could not serve as the only source of wheat for the British Empire as general ideology of the Empire observed it. To avoid further misunderstanding, he took the economy of Russia as his major scientific specialization. As a professor he also researched the economies of Canada, China, Korea, and Japan.

paragraph: In 1898 through 1899, he became a key figure in the Doukhobor immigration to Canada. His correspondent at the time was notable Russian scientist and major Anarchist ideologist Kropotkin, at that time living in the UK, who proposed that Doukhobor peasantry, numbering several thousand people, be settled in Canada. Through several years that followed, he took a keen interest in the Doukhobor cause, siding with them in cases of conflict with Canadian authorities.

paragraph: As an arts activist, Mavor helped organize several Canadian art venues, such as the Art Gallery of Ontario and the Royal Ontario Museum.

paragraph: He published articles and statistics for the Canadian government regarding immigration, wheat production, and workers' healthcare compensation. In 1914, he published the first edition of his "magnum opus", "An Economic History of Russia", in two volumes. This publication earned him membership in the Royal Society of Canada.

paragraph: After over 30 years of teaching economy, he became professor emeritus and retired in 1923. After he left, the University of Toronto for some time discontinued the tradition of extensive Russian studies he and William Ashley founded.

paragraph: He died at the age of 71 in Glasgow, Scotland, during a trip to relatives.

paragraph: Raymond Chow

paragraph: Raymond Chow Man-Wai, (; 8 October 1927 – 2 November 2018) was a Hong Kong film producer, and presenter. He was responsible for successfully launching martial arts and the Hong Kong cinema onto the international stage. As the founder of Golden Harvest, he produced some of the biggest stars of the martial arts film genre, including Bruce Lee, Jackie Chan, and Tsui Hark.

paragraph: Section::::Early life.

paragraph: Of Hakka Han ethnicity, Chow attended Saint John's University, Shanghai, and graduated with a B.A in journalism in 1949. In 1951 he joined the Voice of America office in Hong Kong. He also studied martial arts under master Lam Sai-wing.

paragraph: Section::::Career.

paragraph: Chow's film career began in 1958. He was the head of publicity and the production chief of Shaw Brothers between 1958 and 1970. He leased Cathay's studio and contracted its exhibition chain of 104 cinema theatres in Southeast Asia. At the time Cathay was a predominant force in the Malaysian film industry.

paragraph: When Cathay wanted to end the company's association in Hong Kong, Chow left Shaw Brothers to establish Golden Harvest in 1970. He capitalized on the shortcomings of Shaw Brothers, who had a system that limited creativity, and was able to lure Bruce Lee into Golden Harvest, making it a serious competitor to Shaw Brothers. Under Chow's leadership, Golden Harvest would become the cornerstone for Hong Kong cinema leading Hong Kong box office sales for two decades from the 1970s to 1980s.

paragraph: Whilst Chow is credited with producing many films, in the audio commentary for the UK release of "Zu Warriors from the Magic Mountain", Tsui Hark in a conversation with Bey Logan who asked the elementary question of Chow's role as a film producer, explained that this credit is mostly meaningless. Tsui stated that any producer's role at the studio was often nothing more than to greenlight and ensure funding of the project, and that producers such as Chow would rarely, if ever, set foot on the set during the making of the film. Raymond Chow officially announced his retirement in Hong Kong on November 5, 2007.

paragraph: Chow died on November 2, 2018, in Hong Kong.

paragraph: Ferdinand A. Brader

paragraph: Ferdinand Arnold Brader (December 7, 1833 – December 20, 1901) is known for his large detailed pencil drawings of farms and other dwellings in rural Pennsylvania and Ohio.

paragraph: Section::::Life in Switzerland.

paragraph: Ferdinand Brader was born in Kaltbrunn, St. Gallen, Switzerland, the son of Johann Baptist Brader and Anna Maria Steiner. On August 28, 1860 he married Maria Katherina Karolina Glaus of Benken, St. Gallen and their son Carl Ferdinand was born December 20, 1864. Ferdinand Arnold Brader emigrated to Pennsylvania in the United States sometime in the early 1870s.

paragraph: Section::::Life in Pennsylvania and Ohio.

paragraph: His first pencil drawings of farms and homes were made in Pennsylvania and dated 1879. Brader created about 300 pictures in Pennsylvania in the counties of Berks, Lancaster, Montgomery and Lebanon and as far west as the counties of Somerset, Beaver and Allegheny. Two Somerset County drawings recently located provide further details not only on farm life in the area at the time, but also the timeline of Brader's travels westward and eventually into Ohio.

paragraph: The majority of Brader's drawings were done in Ohio. His first Ohio drawings appeared in Tuscarawas and Columbiana Counties in 1884. From drawings that survive it is known that Brader's Ohio pictures were done in 9 different adjoining counties: Portage, Medina, Wayne, Stark, Summit, Carroll, Columbiana, Mahoning and Tuscarawas continuing through 1895. Most of his Ohio images seem to have been done in the counties of Portage and Stark. Both of these counties had county infirmaries or "Poor Houses" where Brader is known to have stayed.

paragraph: The registry book of the Portage County Infirmary shows that he was there from December 12, 1891 through April 19, 1892 and cite his birth in Switzerland as being in 1833. Recently discovered record books from Stark County indicate that Brader passed the winters of 1892 through 1895 at the Stark County Infirmary, which was later called the County Home.

paragraph: Section::::Later Years.

paragraph: Brader's life was abruptly changed by news from Switzerland. In November 1895 he was living at the Stark County Infirmary (Canton, Ohio) when he was notified of the death of his brother, Alois, in 1888. It took authorities almost eight years to find Brader and tell him of the inheritance left to him by his brother who had remained in Kaltbrunn. Upon receiving the news, Ferdinand Brader soon left the County Infirmary and made plans to return to his homeland. According to newspaper records, Brader returned to Switzerland in early February 1896.

paragraph: Section::::The Drawings of Ferdinand Brader.

paragraph: While best known for his hundreds of carefully rendered farmstead pictures, he is also known to have recorded scenes of both the Portage and Stark County Infirmaries, at least one church, railroad stations, a brewery and several rural industries, such as grist mills, potteries, mines and quarries.

paragraph: Brader typically inscribed his works with the name of the property owner or resident, the date, and, in many cases, its number in the chronology of his completed works. The numbers on his pictures can usually be found with his signature in the lower right or lower left hand corner of his drawings. The highest number recorded among his surviving Ohio drawings suggest he completed as many as 980 works. Drawing number 980 "Homestead of Mr. and Mrs. John Kleiver, Plain Tp. Stark Co. Ohio 1895" is in the collection of The William McKinley Library & Museum in Canton, Ohio. At least 217 drawings have been cataloged, 59 from Pennsylvania and 158 from Ohio. The Canton Museum of Art's current count listed by township can be seen here.

paragraph: Most of his drawings are quite large, some measuring as large as 39" by 53". The vast majority of these were done using only graphite pencil. However, by 1892 Brader had started to use colored pencils as well.

paragraph: Section::::Exhibitions.

paragraph: There have been two exhibitions of Brader's works. In October 1986, an exhibition was held in Reading, Pennsylvania at the Historical Society of Berks County entitled, "Brader in Berks, 1880-1883" displaying 16 of Brader's drawings and in which an exhibition catalog was provided.

paragraph: In 1991 the Massillon Museum, in Massillon, Ohio, collaborated with Brader collector and researcher, Darwin D. Bearley of Akron, to organize an exhibition of Ohio drawings, entitled "F.A. Brader, The Ohio Drawings". It ran from January 20, 1991 through March 3, 1991 but no catalog was produced.

paragraph: From December 4, 2014 – March 15, 2015 the Canton Museum of Art hosted, "The Legacy of Ferdinand A. Brader" 19th Century Drawings of the Ohio and Pennsylvania Landscape an exhibition.

paragraph: The William McKinley Presidential Library and Museum collaborated by simultaneously exhibiting more drawings in its Keller Gallery. Additional drawings were shown at the Little Art Gallery in North Canton, Ohio.

paragraph: The exhibitions and publication trace and document the artistic path of Ferdinand Brader as he traveled through the countryside, adding significant depth to our understanding of American family heritage. The exhibitions were retrospectives of Brader's work in America and included examples from Pennsylvania and Ohio.

paragraph: Section::::Museums.

paragraph: In Pennsylvania, Brader's drawings can be found at the Landis Valley Museum Lancaster, PA. (2); the Historical Society of Berks County Reading, PA.(7); The Reading Public Museum, Reading,PA.(1); Philadelphia Museum of Art, Philadelphia, PA (1); the Library Company of Philadelphia, Philadelphia,PA(1).

paragraph: In Ohio, Brader's drawings can be found in the collections of the Canton Museum of Art Canton, Ohio, the William McKinley Presidential Library and Museum

paragraph: Canton, Ohio(8); the Massillon Museum, Massillon, Ohio (2); the Portage County Historical Society, Ravenna, Ohio(1); the Carroll Co. Historical Society (Algonquin Mill,) Carrollton, Ohio(1); the Osnaburg Historical Society, East Canton, Ohio (1.)

paragraph: Elsewhere, the drawings are in collections of the Art Institute of Chicago, Chicago, IL (1) and The Metropolitan Museum of Art, New York City, NY(1). The drawing at the Met can be viewed here through the museum's website.

paragraph: Frank Frazetta

paragraph: Frank Frazetta (born Frank Frazzetta (); February 9, 1928 – May 10, 2010) was an American fantasy and science fiction artist, noted for comic books, paperback book covers, paintings, posters, LP record album covers and other media. He was the subject of a 2003 documentary.

paragraph: Frazetta was inducted into the comic book industry's Will Eisner Comic Book Hall of Fame in 1995 and the Jack Kirby Hall of Fame in 1999.

paragraph: Section::::Early life.

paragraph: Born Frank Frazzetta in Brooklyn, New York City, Frazetta removed one "z" from his last name early in his career to make his name seem less "clumsy". The only boy among four children, he spent much time with his grandmother, who began encouraging him in art when he was two years old. In 2010, a month before his death, he recalled that:

paragraph: At age eight, Frazetta attended the Brooklyn Academy of Fine Arts, a small art school run by instructor Michel Falanga. "[H]e didn't teach me anything, really," Frazetta said in 1994. "He'd come and see where I was working, and he might say, 'Very nice, very nice. But perhaps if you did this or that.' But that's about it. We never had any great conversations. He spoke very broken English. He kind of left you on your own. I learned more from my friends there."

paragraph: Section::::Career.

paragraph: Section::::Career.:Early work.

paragraph: In 1944, at age 16, Frazetta, who had "always had this urge to be doing comic books", began working in comics artist Bernard Baily's studio doing pencil clean-ups. His first comic-book work was inking the eight-page story "Snowman", penciled by John Giunta, in the one-shot "Tally-Ho Comics" (Dec. 1944), published by Swappers Quarterly and Almanac/Baily Publishing Company. It was not standard practice in comic books during this period to provide complete credits, so a comprehensive listing of Frazetta's work is difficult to ascertain. His next confirmed comics works are two signed penciled-and-inked pieces in Prize Comics' "Treasure Comics" #7 (July 1946): the four-page "To William Penn founder of Philadelphia..." and the single page "Ahoy! Enemy Ship!", featuring his character Capt. Kidd Jr. In a 1991 interview in "The Comics Journal", Frazetta credited Graham Ingels as the first one in the comic book industry to recognize his talent, and to give him jobs at Standard Comics in 1947.

paragraph: Frazetta was soon drawing comic books in many genres, including Westerns, fantasy, mystery, and historical drama. Some of his earliest work was in funny animal comics, which he signed as "Fritz". For Dell's subsidiary company, Famous Funnies, Frazetta did war and human interest stories for "Heroic Comics", as well as one pagers extolling the virtues of prayer and the evils of drug abuse. In comics like "Personal Love" and "Movie Love", he did romance and celebrity stories, including a biography of Burt Lancaster.

paragraph: In the early 1950s, he worked for EC Comics, National Comics (including the superhero feature "Shining Knight"), Avon Comics, and several other comic book companies. Much of his work in comic books was done in collaboration with friend Al Williamson and occasionally his mentor Roy G. Krenkel.

paragraph: Noticed because of his work on the Buck Rogers covers for "Famous Funnies", Frazetta started working with Al Capp on Capp's comic strip "Li'l Abner". Frazetta was also producing his own strip, "Johnny Comet" at this time, as well as assisting Dan Barry on the "Flash Gordon" daily strip.

paragraph: He married Massachusetts native Eleanor Kelly in New York City in November 1956. The two would have four children: Frank Jr., Billy, Holly and Heidi.

paragraph: In 1961, after nine years with Capp, Frazetta returned to comic books. He also helped Harvey Kurtzman and Will Elder on three stories of the bawdy parody strip "Little Annie Fanny" in "Playboy" magazine.

paragraph: Section::::Career.:Hollywood and book covers.

paragraph: In 1964, Frazetta's painting of Beatle Ringo Starr for a "Mad" magazine ad parody caught the eye of United Artists studios. He was approached to do the movie poster for "What's New Pussycat?," and earned the equivalent of his yearly salary in one afternoon. He did several other movie posters.

paragraph: Frazetta also produced paintings for paperback editions of adventure books. His interpretation of Conan visually redefined the genre of sword and sorcery, and had an enormous influence on succeeding generations of artists. From this point on, Frazetta's work was in great demand. His covers were used for other paperback editions of classic Edgar Rice Burroughs books, such as those from the Tarzan and Barsoom (John Carter of Mars) series. He also did several pen and ink illustrations for many of these books. His cover art only coincidentally matched the storylines inside the books, as Frazetta once explained: "I didn't read any of it... I drew him my way. It was really rugged. And it caught on. I didn't care about what people thought. People who bought the books never complained about it. They probably didn't read them."

paragraph: After this time, most of Frazetta's work was commercial in nature, including paintings and illustrations for movie posters, book jackets, and calendars. Primarily, these were in oil, but he also worked with watercolor, ink, and pencil alone. Frazetta's work in comics during this time were cover paintings and a few comic stories in black and white for the Warren Publishing horror and war magazines "Creepy", "Eerie", "Blazing Combat" and "Vampirella"."

paragraph: Once Frazetta secured a reputation, movie studios lured him to work on animated movies. Most, however, would give him participation in name only, with creative control held by others. An advertisement based on his work was animated by Richard Williams in grease pencil and paint and shown in 1978. In the early 1980s, Frazetta worked with producer Ralph Bakshi on the feature "Fire and Ice", released in 1983. The realism of the animation and design replicated Frazetta's artwork. Bakshi and Frazetta were heavily involved in the production of the live-action sequences used for the film's rotoscoped animation, from casting sessions to the final shoot. Following the release of the film, Frazetta returned to his roots in painting and pen-and-ink illustrations.

paragraph: Frazetta's paintings have been used by a number of recording artists as cover art for their albums. Molly Hatchet's first three albums feature "The Death Dealer", "Dark Kingdom", and "Berserker", respectively. Dust's second album, "Hard Attack", features "Snow Giants". Nazareth used "The Brain" for its 1977 album "Expect No Mercy". The U.S. Army III Corps adopted "The Death Dealer" as its mascot.

paragraph: Frazetta retained the original Conan paintings, and long refused to part with them. Many were displayed at the Frazetta Museum in East Stroudsburg, Pennsylvania. In 2009, Frazetta's "Conan the Conqueror" painting, the first to be offered for sale, was purchased for $1 million.

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

paragraph: In the early 1980s, Frazetta created a gallery, Frazetta's Fantasy Corner, on the upper floors of a former Masonic building at the corner of South Courtland and Washington streets in East Stroudsburg, Pennsylvania. The building also housed a Frazetta art museum that displayed both his own work and, in a separate gallery, that of other artists. From 1998 to 1999, Quantum Cat Entertainment published the magazine "Frank Frazetta Fantasy Illustrated", with cover art and some illustrations by Frazetta. In his later life, Frazetta was plagued by a variety of health problems, including a thyroid condition that went untreated for many years. A series of strokes left his right arm almost completely paralyzed. He taught himself to paint and draw with his left hand. He was the subject of the 2003 feature documentary "".

paragraph: By 2009, Frazetta was living on a estate in the Pocono Mountains of Pennsylvania, with a small museum that is open to the public. On July 17, 2009, his wife and business partner, Eleanor "Ellie" Frazetta, died after a year-long battle with cancer. He then hired Rob Pistella and Steve Ferzoco to handle his business affairs.

paragraph: By December 2009, Frazetta's son, Alfonso Frank Frazetta, 52, known as Frank Jr., sold his local professional golf shop and preserved 90 paintings to display in the Frazetta museum in Stroudsburg, Pennsylvania. Frank Jr. and Ellie had run the family business until Ellie's death, when infighting over the paintings began. Frank Jr. maintained that he was trying to prevent the paintings from being sold, per the wishes of his father, whom he said had given him power of attorney over his estate. After siblings Billy Frazetta, Holly Frazetta Taylor, and Heidi Grabin filed a lawsuit against Frank Jr. in March 2010, claiming misappropriation of their father's work, which they said the artist had transferred to a company controlled by those three, the family issued a statement on April 23, 2010, that said, "all of the litigation surrounding his family and his art has been resolved. All of Frank's children will now be working together as a team to promote his ... collection of images..."

paragraph: Frazetta died of a stroke on May 10, 2010, in a hospital near his residence in Florida. As of 2017, Frank Frazetta Jr. and his wife Lori are the sole owners of the estate property. They continue to keep the Frazetta museum open to the public - complete with guided tours, with the 90 remaining paintings on rotating display as well as Frazetta's earlier work including timed illustration studies and his childhood artwork.

paragraph: His painting Egyptian Queen, sold for a world record $5.4 million (£4.2m) on 16th May, 2019 at a public auction of vintage comic books and comic art held by Heritage Auctions in Chicago, Illinois.

paragraph: Section::::Legacy.

paragraph: Frazetta has influenced many artists within the genres of fantasy and science fiction. Yusuke Nakano, a lead artist for Nintendo's "Legend of Zelda" series, cites Frazetta as an influence. Fantasy artist and musician Joseph Vargo cites Frazetta as a primary influence, and his art calendars since 1998 mark Frazetta's birthday. Chris Perna, art director at Epic Games, stated in an interview in 2011 that Frazetta was one of his influences. Other artists influenced by Frazetta include comics artist such as Marc Silvestri and Shelby Robertson.

paragraph: The face and body paint of professional wrestler Kamala was copied by artist and wrestler Jerry Lawler from a character in a Frazetta painting.

paragraph: In early 2012, filmmaker Robert Rodriguez announced plans to remake Bakshi and Frazetta's film "Fire and Ice". Sony Pictures acquired the project in late 2014, with Rodriguez set to direct.

paragraph: As of 2013, Holly Frazetta's collection was traveling throughout the U.S. with public showings at comics conventions. She also co-founded Frazetta Girls LLC alongside daughter Sara Frazetta in 2014. The Frazetta Girls company operates as a web store for official Frank Frazetta merchandise, and has a large social media presence for daily postings of Frazetta's work.

paragraph: Klaus Lauer

paragraph: Dr. Klaus Lauer (born 1950) is a German neuroepidemologist, mostly known for his work on multiple sclerosis (MS).

paragraph: Section::::Early life.

paragraph: Klaus Joachim Lauer was born in 1950 and studied medicine in Frankfurt (Germany) from 1968 to 1975. He became a resident in the Department of Neurology of Klinikum Darmstadt, the Academic Teaching Hospital of Frankfurt University (Akademisches Lehrkrankenhaus der Universitäten Frankfurt/Main und Heidelberg-Mannheim, a major healthcare institution in South Hesse. Besides clinical work, K. Lauer devoted most of his research to epidemiology, with a special focus on MS etiology.

paragraph: Section::::Career.

paragraph: Early on, he published a series of five articles on multiple sclerosis in the land of Hesse with Prof. Dr. med. Wolfgang Firnhaber, who had already been studying MS epidemiology in Göttingen and Darmstadt, with support from the Hertie Foundation, the German Research Foundation and the Stifterverband für die Deutsche Wissenschaft. His lasting collaboration with Prof. Firnhaber, a longtime expert in MS prognostication and geomedical aspects of MS, provided K. Lauer with a solid background in geomedical investigation.

paragraph: In the mid 80's, Dr. Lauer launched a series of specialized reports in Scandinavia, starting with a study of multiple sclerosis in Western Norway published in Neurology. He has been following Norvegian MS ever since and has also coauthored epidemiological studies in Sweden with Anne-Marie Landtblom and Inger Boström.

paragraph: Like John Kurtzke, Klaus J. Lauer has dedicated a large part of his work to the study of MS in the Faroe Islands, starting with a 1986 article in the "Journal of Neurology" entitled "Some comments on the occurrence of multiple sclerosis in the Faroe Islands", followed in 1988 by "Multiple sclerosis in relation to industrial and commercial activities in the Faroe Islands" in the journal "Neuroepidemiology", followed one year later by "Dietary changes in temporal relation to multiple sclerosis in the Faroe Islands: an evaluation of literary sources" in the same journal.

paragraph: MS is generally considered a multifactorial disease, in which genetic predispositions and environmental triggers combine to launch an autoimmune process. As an international expert on the environmental dimension of MS, Dr. Lauer compiled a review in "Expert Review of Neurotherapeutics".

paragraph: Since 1992, Dr Lauer has published a large number of epidemiological studies covering most west European countries, Russia, the USA, Canada, some countries in Asia and the Middle-East, with a special focus on dietary aspects of etiology. Most recently, Klaus Lauer has focused again on MS in the Faroes and has been involved as an expert in the steering committee of the EnviMS study, a major multi-countries study investigating the impact of environmental exposures on MS. Dr Lauer is also one of the authors of a reference study of the cost of MS in Europe and of several publications dealing with technical and methodological considerations in neuroepidemiology applied to multiple sclerosis.
