paragraph: João Cabral de Melo Neto

paragraph: João Cabral de Melo Neto (), (January 9, 1920 – October 9, 1999) was a Brazilian poet and diplomat, and one of the most influential writers in late Brazilian modernism. He was awarded the 1990 Camões Prize and the 1992 Neustadt International Prize for Literature, the only Brazilian poet to receive such award to date. He was considered until his death a perennial competitor for the Nobel Prize in Literature.

paragraph: Melo Neto's works are characterized by a staunch formal righteousness that was present in several layers of his poems, something that distinguishes his oeuvre from that of any other Brazilian poet. His style ranges from the surrealist tendency that marked his early poetry to the use of regional elements of his native northeastern Brazil, including the traditional form of the "cordel". In Morte e Vida Severina, the only of his works that have come to be widely read by the general public, both these later aspects are found through Melo Neto's addressing the culture and the harshness of life in arid Pernambuco.

paragraph: Section::::Life and career.

paragraph: Melo Neto was born in Recife, Pernambuco, and spent most of his youth in his family's sugar-cane mills in the interior of the state. He was a cousin of distinguished poet Manuel Bandeira and sociologist Gilberto Freyre. In 1940, his family moved to Rio de Janeiro.

paragraph: Two years later, Melo Neto published his first book of poems, "Pedra do Sono", from his own expense, with a circulation of 340 copies. In 1945, he applied to the position of diplomat, a position he would hold for most of his life. The following year, he married Stella Maria Barbosa de Oliveira, with whom he had five children.

paragraph: After passing through several different countries, he became consul of Brazil in Porto in 1984, only returning to Rio de Janeiro three years later. He worked for many years in Spain, and his experiences there would greatly influence his poetry of the time.

paragraph: In 1956, Melo Neto published his most famous work, Morte e Vida Severina, and, in 1968, he was elected to the 37th chair of the Brazilian Academy of Letters.

paragraph: In 1986, he married Marly de Oliveira and, two years later, he retired, resigning from his office as ambassador. Melo Neto died in 1999, in Rio de Janeiro. In a career spanning more than fifty years, Melo Neto published 18 books of poetry and two autos.

paragraph: Section::::Poetry.

paragraph: Melo Neto's works are dry and often devoid of any emotions, sticking to an esthetic rigor averse to any sort of confessions by the poet. Melo Neto's writing focuses on images, actions, and physical descriptions rather than feelings. Because of this, the image of an engineer designing a building is often used to describe his poetry, an epithet Melo Neto himself adopted. His poetry was also marked by his strict use of meter and assonant rhymes.

paragraph: Melo Neto searched for an elaborate construction of language and thought, attempting to transform the perception of an object into something concrete and definable by the senses, most notably to touching. One of the greatest achievements Melo Neto accomplished in this task was his poem "Uma Faca Só Lâmina" ("A Knife All Blade"), in which he presents the image of a knife cutting through the feeling of emptiness as if cutting directly into the flesh, a sensorial metaphor used to portray the idea of inspiration.

paragraph: Melo Neto frequently uses antithetical dualities in his poems, often worked to exhaustion: time and space, inside and outside, corporal and spiritual, male and female, the northeastern Brazil and the Andalusian fertile semidesert, or the Savanna and the Pernambucan humid desert, attempting to reach a purely objective and communicative poetry.

paragraph: About his poetry, one of the founder figures of Concretism, Augusto de Campos has said:

paragraph: Section::::Works.

paragraph: Some of the most famous poems of Melo Neto are:

paragraph: BULLET::::- "Morte e Vida Severina" (translated in part by Elizabeth Bishop as "The Death and Life of Severino"), his most famous work, is a long narrative poem (in most editions over 80 pages long) that describes the life of a poor rural man in the dry northeastern part of Brazil and his migration to the city. The main character, Severino, whose name works as an adjective to his own life, represents every person who inhabits that region and suffers from its misery.

paragraph: BULLET::::- "Uma Faca só Lâmina" (A Knife All Blade) is also considered to be one of his best works, and was translated to English in 1980. The poem is about the many ways to describe "that sorrowful absence in a man".

paragraph: Ricky Hendrick

paragraph: Joseph Riddick "Ricky" Hendrick IV (April 2, 1980 – October 24, 2004) was an American NASCAR stock car driver and partial owner at Hendrick Motorsports, a team that his father Rick Hendrick founded. He was born in Charlotte, North Carolina, on April 2, 1980, and began his career in racing at the age of fifteen. He competed in both the Busch Series and Craftsman Truck Series before his death from an airplane accident on October 24, 2004. He was killed with seven other family members and friends during the accident.

paragraph: Section::::Racing career.

paragraph: Hendrick began his career in auto racing at the age of 15 by racing in the Legends Series Summer Shootout. In 1998, he received his first win on May 23, and earned his first pole position on July 18. One year later, he entered the NASCAR Busch Series (now Xfinity Series) at Myrtle Beach Speedway, where he qualified fifth and finished 20th.

paragraph: Hendrick continued to run the series in 2000, with the addition of competing in the NASCAR Craftsman Truck Series (now Camping World Truck Series). During Busch series season he was involved in two accidents, and received a mild concussion in one of them.

paragraph: In 2001, he started to compete in all the Truck races. He recorded his first NASCAR career win on July 7, becoming the youngest rookie to win a race. Hendrick was also able to accomplish 19 top ten finishes, the most by a rookie at that time. However, at the end of the season, he finished second in the Rookie of the Year Standings, with Travis Kvapil winning the award.

paragraph: In 2002, he moved to the Busch Series with Jack Sprague. During the season he was involved in an accident at Las Vegas Motor Speedway, sustaining a shoulder injury. He required surgery and two months of healing before he could race again. Hendrick decided to retire from driving in October of the same year. He continued to be employed by Hendrick Motorsports, as the owner of two teams: Brian Vickers in the Nextel Cup Series (now Monster Energy NASCAR Cup Series) and Kyle Busch in the Busch Series. Hendrick also founded a motorcycle dealership in Pineville, North Carolina, named Ricky Hendrick's Performance Honda.

paragraph: Section::::Death.

paragraph: On October 24, 2004, around 12:30 p.m. EDT, Hendrick died in a plane crash near Martinsville, Virginia, killing him and nine others. The plane, on its way to the Martinsville Speedway for the Subway 500, crashed on Bull Mountain due to pilot error in heavy fog.

paragraph: After Hendrick died, his fiancée Emily Maynard learned that she was pregnant. Maynard gave birth to their daughter, Josephine Riddick "Ricki" Hendrick, on June 29, 2005, naming the girl after her late fiancé.

paragraph: Abdullah ibn Abd al-Muttalib

paragraph: Abdullah ibn Abd al-Muttalib (; ("Abdullah" is the nominative case of "Abd Allah" (servant or slave of Allah); –570) was the father of the Islamic prophet Muhammad. He was the son of Abdul-Muttalib ibn Hashim and Fatimah bint Amr of the Makhzum clan.

paragraph: He was married to Āminah bint Wahb. Tabari also refers to another unnamed wife. However, Aminah's son Muhammad was Abdullah's only child.

paragraph: Section::::Name.

paragraph: "ʿAbdullāh" means "servant of God" or "slave of God". His full name was ʿAbdullāh ibn ʿAbd al-Muṭṭalib ibn Hāshim ('Amr) ibn Abd Manāf (al-Mughīra) ibn Qusayy (Zayd) ibn Kilāb ibn Murra ibn Ka`b ibn Lu'ayy ibn Ghālib ibn Fahr (Quraysh) ibn Mālik ibn an-Naḑr (Qays) ibn Kinānah ibn Khuzaymah ibn Mudrikah ('Āmir) ibn Ilyās ibn Muḑar ibn Nizār ibn Ma'ād ibn 'Adnān.

paragraph: Section::::Marriage.

paragraph: His father chose for him Āminah daughter of Wahb ibn 'Abd Munāf who was the grandson of Zuhrah ibn Kilab, the brother of his great-great-grandfather Qusayy ibn Kilāb. Wahb had been the chief of Banu Zuhrah as well as its eldest and noblest member but had died some time previously and Āminah became a ward of his brother Wuhaib, who had succeeded him as chief of the clan.

paragraph: His father went with him to the quarter of Banū Zuhrah. There, he sought the residence of Wuhayb and went in to ask for the hand of Wahb's daughter for his son. 'Abdullāh's father fixed his marriage with Aminah. It was said that a light shone out of his forehead and that this light was the promise of a Prophet as offspring. Many women approached 'Abdullāh, who is reported to have been a handsome man, so that they might gain the honor of producing his offspring. However it is believed that, as decided by God, the light was destined to be transferred to Āminah through 'Abdullāh after consummating the marriage. 'Abdullāh's father was the custodian of the Kaaba in Makkah. 'Abdullāh lived with Āminah among her relatives the first three days of the marriage. Afterwards, they moved together to the quarter of 'Abdul-Muttalib.

paragraph: Section::::Death.

paragraph: Soon after their marriage 'Abdullāh was called to Palestine and al-Shām (present day Syria) on a trading caravan trip. When he left, Āminah was pregnant. 'Abdullāh was absent for several months in Gaza. On his way back he stopped for a longer rest with the family of his paternal grandmother, Salma bint Amr, who belonged to the Najjar clan of the Khazraj tribe in Medina. He was preparing to join a caravan to Mecca when he felt ill.

paragraph: The caravan went on without him to Mecca with news of his absence and disease. 'Abdul-Muttalib immediately sent his eldest son al-Harith to Medina. Upon his arrival, al-Harith learned that his brother had died and that he had been buried there a month after falling ill. Harith returned to Mecca to announce the death of `Abdullāh to his aged father and his bereaved wife Āminah. Abdullah left a few camels and goats and a slave girl named Umm Ayman as terms of inheritance.

paragraph: He was buried in Dar ul Nabeghah in Madinah tul Munawwara and his mausoleum was demolished in 1976. Reportedly he was reburied in Al' Baqee Graveyard next to Muhammad's son.

paragraph: Section::::Estate.

paragraph: 'Abdullāh left five camels, a herd of sheep and goats, and a slave nurse, called Umm Ayman, who was to take care of his son Muhammad. This patrimony does not prove that 'Abdullāh was wealthy, but at the same time it does not prove that he was poor. Furthermore, 'Abdullāh was still a young man capable of working and of amassing a fortune. His father was still alive and none of his wealth had as yet been transferred to his sons.

paragraph: Section::::Fate in the afterlife.

paragraph: Islamic scholars have long been divided over the religious beliefs of Muhammad's parents and their fate in the afterlife. A hadith in the authoritative "Sahih Muslim" collection states that Abdullah was sentenced to hell, while one transmitted by Abu Dawud and Ibn Majah states that God refused to forgive Aminah for her disbelief. While this caused scholars like Ali al-Qari to state that Muhammad's parents were denied salvation, this thought proved discomforting for many Muslims. Some Ashʿari and Shafi‘i scholars argued that neither would be punished in the afterlife, as they were "ahl al-fatrah", or "people of the interval" between the prophetic messages of Jesus and Muhammad. The concept of "ahl al-fatrah" is not universally accepted among Islamic scholars, and there is debate concerning the extent of salvation available for active practitioners of polytheism, though the majority of scholars have come to agree with it and disregard the ahadith stating that Muhammad's parents were condemned to hell.

paragraph: While a work attributed to Abu Hanifa, an early Sunni scholar, stated that both Aminah and Abdullah died as disbelievers, some later authors of "mawlid" texts related a tradition in which Aminah and Abdullah were temporarily revived and embraced Islam. Scholars like Ibn Taymiyya stated that this was a lie, though al-Qurtubi disagreed and stated that the concept did not disagree with Islamic theology. Shia Muslims believe that all of Muhammad's ancestors, Abdullah included, were monotheists and therefore entitled to paradise. A Shia tradition states that God forbade the fires of hell from touching either of Muhammad's parents.

paragraph: Nicholas de Balmyle

paragraph: Nicholas de Balmyle (d. 1319 × 1320), also called Nicholas of St Andrews, was a Scottish administrator and prelate in the late 13th century and early 14th century. A graduate of an unknown university, he served his earliest years as a clergyman at St Andrews, moving on to hold churches in Lothian as well as deputising (as Official) to two archdeacons of Lothian.

paragraph: In the late summer and in the autumn of 1296, between the death of Bishop William Fraser and the arrival of the new Bishop of St Andrews William de Lamberton, Nicholas was placed in charge of the diocese of St Andrews as Official. Nicholas thereafter can be found exercising a senior role in Scottish affairs, and by early 1301 he was Chancellor of Scotland. In his late 60s or (more probably) his 70s by this stage, Nicholas was an extremely old man, yet in 1307 he became Bishop of Dunblane. He held this position until his death in either 1319 or 1320.

paragraph: Section::::Background and early life.

paragraph: It is highly unlikely that Nicholas was born later than the 1230s, as he was styled "Magister" by 1259, indicating that by that date he possessed a Master's degree. It was rare for someone under twenty years old or even older to have such a qualification in this period. The university or universities he attended are not known.

paragraph: Until 1295, Nicholas was referred to as Nicholas of St Andrews ("de Sancto Andrea"), but in February of that year he began to be called "de Balmyle", one source referring to him as "de Balmyll dictus de Sancto Andrea" ("de Balmyle" called "de Sanctoandrea"). It is probable that he adopted "de Sancto Andrea" when he finished training at St Andrews and went elsewhere, and that he dropped it in 1295 when he moved back.

paragraph: Nicholas' apparent surname, "de Balmyle", points to an association with Balmyle near Meigle, in the region where Gowrie and Angus border, though that is only one of two possible locations.

paragraph: Section::::Early career.

paragraph: As a graduate, Nicholas is first found active at St Andrews in the entourage of Gamelin, Bishop of St Andrews, in 1259. He does not appear very often in any witness lists during the following few decades, but does appear along with other St Andrews clerics witnessing a charter of William, Earl of Mar at Falkland on 21 January 1268.

paragraph: He disappeared from the records until found as Official to the Archdeacon of Lothian (1283 × 1285). It is possible that during this period, he left Scotland for further study. The position of Official was held under the absentee Archdeacon of Lothian, Adam de Gullane, and afterwards, Archdeacon William Frere, and was probably held along with the post of vicar of Haddington; the latter he definitely held by 1295. Nicholas is found as Official in a document dating certainly between 1273 and 1285, a document which can probably be more precisely dated to between 1283 and 1285.

paragraph: He was pastor of the church of Calder Comitis, Midlothian, by September 1296. Both churches were indirectly under the patronage of the Bishop of St Andrews, William Fraser. The rector of Haddington was St Andrews Cathedral Priory and although the church of Calder Comitis was normally under the patronage of the Mormaer of Fife, at that point in time the wardship of the young mormaer's lands was being held by the Bishop of St Andrews.

paragraph: On 6 November 1292, he acted as a substitute auditor on behalf of John de Balliol at Berwick in the Great Cause. The latter was the legal process by which Edward I, King of the English, mediated the succession dispute to the Scottish throne, the end result of which Balliol was selected by King Edward to be king on condition of open subordination.

paragraph: Nicholas attended King John's first parliament in February 1293 at Scone. He is found witnessing a charter at Newbattle Abbey on 20 November 1293, as Archdeacon William Frere's Official, and on 20 December is mentioned by Frere as a commissary of the Official of the diocese of St Andrews appointed to adjudicate on 4 January 1294, a case involving Kelso Abbey. He witnessed a charter along with Archdeacon Frere and Bishop William Fraser at Inchmurdo on 13 February 1295.

paragraph: Section::::Nicholas and the wars of Scottish independence.

paragraph: In 1296, the agreement that had followed from the Great Cause between King Edward I and the King of the Scots, John Balliol, broke down. King Edward resolved to depose King John, invading the kingdom and beginning the Wars of Scottish Independence. Nicholas, as pastor of Calder-Comitis, swore fealty to King Edward at Berwick on 28 August 1296. His lands were restored thereafter, on 2 September, Edward having notionally confiscated all the lands of the Scottish clergy earlier in the year pending homage.

paragraph: In the following year, William Fraser, the Bishop of St Andrews, died, and it was Nicholas who was chosen to be Official of the diocese and to administer it during the vacancy. He performed this function until the return to Scotland from France of the new bishop, William de Lamberton.

paragraph: After his return in August 1299, Lamberton was Guardian of Scotland and Nicholas became his close associate. Nicholas can be seen to have benefited as a result. He became Chancellor of Scotland by 30 January 1301. Balmyle's pension for being Chancellor was to be paid by Arbroath Abbey, for which the abbey later fell into arrears.

paragraph: Later in the year, in April, he was one of four Scottish envoys sent to Canterbury for abortive talks with the English and French. In the next few years, Nicholas' activities are difficult to trace, but he was probably involved in much diplomatic activity, including perhaps having a hand in drawing up the brief which Baldred Bisset would later deliver to the pope in the interests of Scottish independence. It was probably in this time too that Nicholas became a clerk at Arbroath Abbey and perhaps a canon of Dunblane Cathedral.

paragraph: Nicholas may have remained as Chancellor until 1305. His accession as Chancellor by 1301 corresponded with a renewed emphasis on the authority of King John in government documents. Becoming Chancellor by 1301, in the words of Geoffrey Barrow, meant that he became "one of the handful of key men who directed the national struggle".

paragraph: Section::::Episcopal election.

paragraph: Following the death of his namesake Nicholas, Bishop of Dunblane (and former Abbot of Arbroath), Nicholas de Balmyle was among the canons of Dunblane with the responsibility of selecting a successor. Bishop Nicholas had died sometime between 1306 (after his last attestation on 26 January) and late 1307. The election was done by "compromissarii" (a short-list of canons delegated to perform election), with John, Abbot of Arbroath excluded from the vote, perhaps because of his known pro-English tendencies.

paragraph: The seven "compromissarii" were the dean (name not known), Maurice, Abbot of Inchaffray, William, Abbot of Lindores, Michael, Abbot of Cambuskenneth, William de Eaglesham, Henry de Stirling, and Nicholas de Balmyle. They were instructed to elect from among themselves, and their decision was the promotion of Nicholas de Balmyle. Nicholas, Bishop-elect of Dunblane, travelled to the Apostolic See along with proctors of the cathedral chapter. After the election was confirmed by Pope Clement V, Nicholas was consecrated by Nicholas, Cardinal-Bishop of Ostia at Poitiers on 11 December 1307.

paragraph: It was Geoffrey Barrow's belief, supported by Donald Watt, that their decision was the result of pressure from the new Scottish king, Robert de Brus, who may have valued Balmyle's experience and trusted his political record. The usual secular patron of the diocese was the Mormaer of Strathearn, but the incumbent Maol Íosa III was at that stage a prisoner-exile at Rochester in England, thus allowing Robert to take his place.

paragraph: Section::::Bishop of Dunblane.

paragraph: When Nicholas returned to Scotland, and the exact nature of his activities over the next few years, remain unclear matters. His episcopal rank makes it likely that he attended the parliaments and took part in the affairs of the kingdom during the early years of his episcopate, but direct proof is lacking.

paragraph: He witnessed a charter of Cambuskenneth Abbey along with John de Kininmund, Bishop of Brechin, on 12 September 1311. He is found witnessing many ecclesiastical and royal documents through 1312, 1313 and beyond. He witnessed royal acts at Inchture and Dundee in April 1312, at Ayr on 27 May 1315, at Edinburgh on 9 March 1317, at Scone on 14 June that year, at Melrose on 24 July 1317, again at Scone on 3 December 1318 and at Arbroath on 8 February 1319.

paragraph: On 6 October 1312, he came to an agreement with Bernard, Abbot of Arbroath, which resolved Nicholas' complaints concerning the non payment of his pension as well as more official disputes between the bishopric of Dunblane and the abbey. In the following year he was in a dispute with Dunfermline Abbey regarding the church of Logie-Atheron in Stirlingshire, a dispute which was never resolved during Nicholas' episcopate.

paragraph: On 9 May 1315, he is found at Perth assisting William de Sinclair, Bishop of Dunkeld, in a judgment regarding Donnchadh de Strathearn. On 27 March 1318 he was named as papal mandatory to oversee the provision of the Italian Robert Barducii of Florence to the deanery of Glasgow Cathedral.

paragraph: It is not known exactly when Bishop Nicholas died. The see of Dunblane is first known to have been vacant on 30 January 1320 and Bishop Nicholas' last appearance in the records was witnessing a charter of Coupar Angus Abbey at Arbroath on 8 February 1319: his death therefore fell between these two points.

paragraph: Caramuru

paragraph: Caramuru (-1557) was the Tupi name of the Portuguese colonist Diogo Álvares-Correia, also known as Diego Alvarez-Correa, who is notable for being the first European to establish contact with the native Tupinambá population in modern-day Brazil and was instrumental in the early colonization by the Portuguese crown. Notably, Caramuru's native-born wife, Catarina Paraguaçu, was the first South American native to be received at the Palace of Versailles in 1526. He and Catarina would have three children: Gaspar, Gabriel and Jorge, all named knights by Tomé de Sousa.

paragraph: Section::::Life.

paragraph: Correia was born in Viana do Castelo. He departed for the Portuguese colony of Brazil in 1509, probably aboard a French vessel. His ship wrecked, probably in the reefs off Rio Vermelho, and Correia found himself alone among the Tupinambá Indians. They called him "Caramuru", meaning "Moray". Correia married Paraguaçu or Paraguassu, the daughter of Morubixaba (the Tupinamba's word for chief) Taparica.

paragraph: During the following twenty years, Correia kept contact with European ships and used his influence on local Indians to help the Portuguese crown and missionaries during the early years of Brazilian colonization. In 1526, he traveled to France with his wife. Paraguaçu was baptized by Mary Catherine des Granches, wife of Jacques Cartier, under the name Katherine du Brézil, thereby creating the first Brazilian Christian family. A couple of years later, he returned to Bahia at the request of King João III of Portugal. In 1534, he assisted Francisco Pereira Coutinho, the first captain of Bahia, in establishing the settlement of Pereira (later known as Vila Velha or "Old Town") in modern Salvador's Ladeira da Barra neighborhood. By 1546, Pereira Coutinho, accused of heresy and disobedience to the Crown, having systematically mistreated the Tupinambá, had caused them to turn hostile and Correia followed him when he fled to Porto Seguro, in order to appease the situation and bring him to his senses. When they returned the next year, the ship was damaged off the southern shore of Itaparica and the survivors captured by the Tupinambá. Correia was spared but the captain was consumed in a cannibalistic feast. In 1549, Correia aided Tomé de Sousa in founding Salvador and creating the first government over all of the Brazilian colony.

paragraph: He died in October 1557, was buried in the Church of Jesus, and left half of his wealth to the Jesuits. His wife Catarina Paraguaçu died in 1582. His sons Gaspar, Gabriel, and Jorge were declared knights by Governor Tomé de Sousa for their services to the Portuguese Crown. They went on to help found Cachoeira on the Paraguaçu.

paragraph: Section::::In culture.

paragraph: BULLET::::- The historical episode was the central theme of an epic poem by Santa Rita Durão, titled "Caramuru". He was portrayed by Selton Mello in the poem's 2001 film adaptation "".

paragraph: BULLET::::- Caramuru appears briefly in Mário de Andrade's "Macunaíma".

paragraph: Sadahide

paragraph: , also known as Gountei Sadahide (), was a Japanese artist best known for his prints in the ukiyo-e style as a member of the Utagawa school. His prints covered a wide variety of genres; amongst his best known are his "Yokohama-e" pictures of foreigners in Yokohama in the 1860s, a period when he was a best-selling artist. He was a member of the Tokugawa shogunate's delegation to the International Exposition of 1867 in Paris.

paragraph: Section::::Life and career.

paragraph: Sadahide was born Hashimoto Kenjirō () in 1807 in Fusa Province (modern Chiba Prefecture) in Shimōsa. He joined Utagawa school master Kunisada's studio in the 1820s and become one of the master's most prominent students. As a member of the school, he took on Utagawa as a surname, and also used the surname Gountei as an art name, and also used his birth surname as an art name late in his career.

paragraph: Sadahide's earliest known works are the illustrations for a book ' (', 1824), the first of many books he was to illustrate throughout his career. Most of his early works were "bijin-ga" portraits of beauties. In the 1830s and 1840s he broadened his output to landscapes and "musha-e" warrior prints.

paragraph: In the 1850s Sadahide began to become known for his prints of exotic locales. In he produced the five-volume "Kaigai Shinwa" (, "New Overseas Stories") about the First Opium War in China, and in 1855 he produced the four-volume "" (, "Northern Japan Illustrated"), which depicted the Ainu people in Ezo, the name at the time for the northernmost parts of Japan. This interest expanded to maps: he produces prints of maps of Edo, Yokohama, Japan, and the world—this last quite accurate and likely modeled after a Dutch example. His largest map was a nine-sheet panorama of Yokohama with a breadth of two metres.

paragraph: In the 1859 to 1862 Sadahide produced a large number of "Yokohama-e" prints of foreigners and the goods they brought to Japan after the country ended its self-imposed isolation in 1854. Among these prints was the series ', (', "Foreigners Viewing Famous Places in Edo"). While there is scant evidence of the reception of these works, the number of extant copies suggests they were popular, and they appear to depict foreigners in a positive light. Several prints depict pleasant interactions between foreigner and Japanese figures, such as dining together or playing badminton. This in contrast to the philosophy of " ("revere the Emperor, expel the barbarians") that had gained currency since the Convention of Kanagawa of 1854.

paragraph: Sadahide also produced guidebooks to Yokohama, include one of five volumes in 1862–66 called " (, "Things seen and heard at the Yokohama open port"). He details the eating habits and technology of Yokohama's foreign residents, and suggests the Japanese would do well to learn from the West with such statements as: "We are by nature emotional and want a quick profit, but nowadays the Japanese merchants in Yokohama are trying hard to follow the Western model of remaining calm." While these works emphasize contrasts between the Japanese and foreigners, they also dispel myths: Sadahide notes that not all foreigners are tall or have long noses, despite the stereotypes.

paragraph: The artist continued to make prints after moving to Nagasaki. There Sadahide made a panorama that was long and produced books on the history and geography of Western lands. He joined ten other artists as part of a delegation the Tokugawa shogunate sent to the International Exposition of 1867 in Paris, where ten of his Edo views were exhibited. The following year, it was reported he ranked the best-selling ukiyo-e artist. Sadahide died in 1878 or 1879, shortly after producing a print of Yokohama the size of a "tatami" mat in 1871 entitled "Yokohama yokuran no shinkei". The first exhibition dedicated to Sadahide's work was held in 1997, subtitled "The ukiyo-e artist who flies in the sky" ( "").

He has cited Clifford Brown, Shirley Horn, and Oscar Peterson as influences on his development as a musician. Carrothers performs without shoes to better feel the piano pedals, and sits in a chair rather than on a traditional piano bench in order to achieve his preferred seating height.

paragraph: Section::::Career.

paragraph: Carrothers began playing piano at age five, studying with his church organist before learning jazz from Twin Cities pianist Bobby Peterson. By age 15 he was performing in Twin Cities jazz clubs, and in 1982 he briefly attended North Texas State University. Following his year at university, Carrothers re-settled in the Twin Cities and was a member of Irv Williams' band before moving to New York City in 1988. During his five-year stint in New York he performed at the Knitting Factory, The Village Gate, and Birdland as well as Blues Alley in Washington, D.C. Throughout his career, Carrothers has played live with a variety of musicians including Buddy DeFranco, Curtis Fuller, Billy Higgins, Freddie Hubbard, Lee Konitz, James Moody, Gary Peacock, Dewey Redman, Charlie Rouse, James Spaulding, Terell Stafford, Toots Thielemans, and Prince. Carrothers has performed throughout Europe, in France at the New Morning, Nevers Jazz Festival, and Marciac Festival, in Belgium at the Audi Jazz Festival and Jazz Middelheim, and he headlined the Rising Star Tour in October, 2000 through Germany, Austria, and Switzerland. In July, 2009, Carrothers played a week-long stand at the Village Vanguard with his European trio (Nicolas Thys and Dre Pallemaerts), a recording of which was released in 2011. In his home state of Michigan, Carrothers performed a solo piano concert at the Gilmore International Keyboard Festival in April, 2010, and he made his Monterey Jazz Festival debut in September, 2011. He is also a regular on the Chicago scene, having performed at the Chicago Jazz Festival, the Green Mill, and The Jazz Showcase. In 2011, Carrothers became an adjunct professor at Lawrence University in Wisconsin. Carrothers frequently appears as part of the Copper Cats on The Red Jacket Jamboree.

paragraph: Section::::Awards and critical reception.

paragraph: Carrothers was awarded the Grand Prix du Disque for Jazz in 2004 and was nominated for the Les Victoires du Jazz (French Grammy Award equivalent) in 2005 and 2011. He has also been featured in top ten lists published by "Jazz Magazine", "Le Monde", and "JAZZIZ" Magazine. "Down Beat" called him "a probing, intelligent player" with "a beautiful touch and a wide stylistic range" who "never sounds less than a musician who thinks on his feet and channels emotions freely."

paragraph: Walter Weidauer

paragraph: Walter Weidauer (28 July 1899 – 13 March 1986) was a German politician. He was the "lord mayor" ("") of Dresden during the most intensive period of the city's rebuilding, between 1946 and 1958.

paragraph: Section::::Life.

paragraph: Section::::Life.:Early years.

paragraph: Arno Walter Weidauer was born at the tail end of the nineteenth century in Lauter, a small town in the Kingdom of Saxony some 20 km (12 miles) from the German frontier with Bohemia which at that time was still part of the Austro-Hungarian Empire. His father worked from home as a weaver of punnets/baskets. He attended school locally and then between 1914 and 1917, undertook an apprenticeship as a carpenter. In 1918, the year of his nineteenth birthday, he was briefly called up for military service. He joined the Workers' Youth Movement in 1916 and in 1919 joined the Independent Social Democratic Party of Germany ("Unabhängige Sozialdemokratische Partei Deutschlands", USPD) which had broken away from the Social Democratic Party of Germany (SPD /)"") a couple of years earlier primarily, at that time, because of the mainstream party's continuing support for the war. Like many USPD party members he quit the party after a couple more years, and in 1922 switched to the Communist Party (KPD).

paragraph: Section::::Life.:Carpentry, unemployment and politics.

paragraph: Between March 1919 and 1928 worked as a carpenter in Zwickau: there were also periods of unemployment and travel. Along with his membership of the KPD he was part of the local party leadership in Zwickau and also, from 1925 till 1928, a member of the regional party leadership in the nearby Ore Mountains district, a predominantly rural region interspersed with significant areas of commercial mining activity. In addition, between 1924 and 1928 he sat as a local councilor in Zwickau. From July 1928 he took on responsibility for the party's central publications operation on the other side of the country in Essen, a responsibility he retained till 1932. In 1929 Weidauer was elected leader of the Carpentry Trades Union in the Essen district, but he resigned three days later on account of "party factionalism" which was a feature of left-wing politics in Germany during the 1920s.

paragraph: Section::::Life.:Reichstag member.

paragraph: In the general election of July 1932 the Communist Party won 14.3% of the national vote which entitled it to 89 seats in the Reichstag. One of those seats went to Walter Weidauer. In the next election which took place in November of that same year, the share of the votes going to the Communist Party increased a little, to 16.9%, and Weidauer remained a de facto Reichstag member till March 1933. By that time the focus of attention was fixed on the NSDAP (Nazi Party) which had taken power in January 1933 and lost little time in establishing one-Party government in Germany. March 1933 saw the third national Reichstag election in less than a year. In early February the Nazis, now in power, had "unleashed a campaign of violence and terror that dwarfed anything seen so far." Storm troopers began attacking trade union and Communist Party (KPD) offices and the homes of left-wingers, extending their violence to Social Democrats later in the month. When the votes were counted the Communist share of the vote was down to 12.3%, but Weidauer retained his seat under the rules then in force. Despite all their efforts in the run-up to the election the Nazi Party still failed to gain an overall majority of seats in the Reichstag. However, on 23 March 1933 they passed an Enabling Act, which in effect transformed the Hitler government into a legally sanctioned dictatorship. Political parties other than the Nazi Party were banned, and the Communist Party, as could have been predicted from Hitler's rhetoric over the previous decade, was at the top of the Nazi hit-list. March 1933 was Walter Weidauer's last month as a member of the national legislature. Later in 1933 he was detained in the recently opened Sonnenburg concentration camp.

paragraph: Section::::Life.:Nazi Germany: exile and imprisonment.

paragraph: In 1934, on his release from the concentration camp, Weidauer undertook further work for the Communist Party, which now counted as illegal activity. During 1934 and 1935 he underwent further terms of "investigatory detention" in Schwarzenberg and Dresden. At the end of September 1935 he emigrated to Prague. In December 1936 he moved on to Denmark where, using the cover name "Karl Förster", he worked with the northern regional German Communist Party (now in exile). In April 1938, "in absentia", he had his German citizenship withdrawn. In April 1940 Denmark was occupied by the German army and Weidauer was interned. At the start of 1941 he was returned to Germany by the police and after a further period of detention on 3 June 1942 he was put on trial (briefly) in the People's Court ("Volksgerichtshof"), a special court set up by the government outside the constitutional frame of law and used for trials involving a widely drawn range of "political offenses". He received the conventional fifteen-year prison sentence for "Preparing to commit High Treason". For over three years he was held in a succession of prisons including those at Brandenburg-Görden, and Leipzig. In February 1945, after the Destruction of Dresden, Weidauer was part of a Prisoners' Detachment moved to the city to help make a start on clearing the residual rubble. His detention was ended on 7/8 May 1945 when the Red Army arrived in Dresden.

paragraph: Section::::Life.:Soviet occupation zone.

paragraph: The end of World War II, in May 1945, heralded a return to multi-party politics and on his release Walter Weidauer rejoined the KPD. The whole of Saxony now fell within the Soviet occupation zone of what remained of Germany. He also joined the local "Anti-Fascist Committee" for the quarter of Dresden. The whole of the area was under Soviet Military Administration, and before the end of May 1945 Weidauer had been placed in charge of regional administration for Dresden-Leuben. On 5 July 1945 he became first deputy lord mayor of Dresden, serving at this time under "Lord Mayor" (""), . In this position Weidauer enjoyed the support of the leading Communist party functionaries in Saxony, and , which already gave him great power over city administration.

paragraph: Weidauer's political approach was appropriate to the times. He justified his newly acquired power on the grounds that he possessed "proper political convictions" while condemning political opponents as reactionaries. The German Democratic Republic would be founded formally only in October 1949, but already the basis for a return to one-party government had created in April 1946, under Soviet administration, with the contentious merger between the old Communist Party and the Moderate-left SPD. Walter Weidauer was one of thousands of Communist Party members who promptly signed his membership across to the new SED (party) which would become the young country's ruling party under its ever more overtly Soviet style constitution.

paragraph: Section::::Life.:"Oberbürgermeister".

paragraph: In October 1945 Johannes Müller ceased to be Lord Mayor of Dresden, following a speech in which he had mentioned the difficulties of pursuing the rebuilding of Dresden while having to work in collaboration with the Soviet

paragraph: administrators. He was succeeded by who held the office for just over a year. At a time when mayoral responsibilities were focused on food and shelter, Leißner was an energetic administrator who tried to stand aside from the political parties, but this involved working with the major parties from both sides of the political spectrum, including the "bourgeois" parties, the CDU and the LDPD. The "bourgeois" parties appreciated a bipartisan approach, which nevertheless ran counter to the increasingly apparent agenda of the new Soviet sponsored SED.

paragraph: At a City Council meeting on 10 October 1946 Walter Weidauer was elected Lord Mayor ("Oberbürgermeister") of Dresden in succession to Gustav Leißner after the SED councilors had taken the meeting by surprise and withdrawn their support from Leißner. The new mayors most pressing priorities covered matters on which he had already been working such as police and personnel decisions along with rebuilding the city. In October 1947 a de-Nazification Commission was also established, over which Weidauer presided in person. He would be re-elected Lord Mayor and confirmed in office by the Party Central Committee in 1950, 1953 and 1957, resigning eventually in 1958 (possibly on health grounds).

paragraph: High on the agenda during his early years in office was the ongoing clearance of wreckage and the rebuilding of the city. He had already, in January 1946, produced a paper entitled "1946, the first year of the great rebuilding" in which he set out a proposed political framework. There was a lively debate on the "rebuild or new build?" question. Weidauer himself was a proponent of "new build", and had no time for architectural treasures or the care of old memorials. He conducted a vigorous and long-running public argument with the Dresden art historian and conservationist on the issues involved. Nearly sixty years later Weidauer was still identified in an opinionated press report on the rebuilding of he Frauenkirche as a "concrete-headed communist".

paragraph: Despite his own well known reservations about the nature and extent of Dresden's cultural and artistic heritage, Weidauer was the president of the government delegation that arranged for the from the Soviet Union of Dresden's Old Masters' Gallery's artistic treasures (which had been placed in safe storage during World War II, but then confiscated by the Red Army in 1945). In connection with this he traveled to Moscow in August 1955 as part of a high-profile East German government delegation. Sustaining international contacts on behalf of his country's ruling party was important to Weidauer, who also visited West Germany as a representative of the Socialist "New Germany".

paragraph: On 3 December 1958, with the agreement of the city council, Walter Weidauer resigned as mayor. He had already, on 29 November, accepted an alternative appointment as Dresden District Council Chairman in succession to Rudolf Jahn. However, on 21 January 1961 Weidauer was released from this office as well, on account of serious illness. This marked his retirement, although in the event he would continue to be politically active in less full-time capacities for many years. He remained a member of the Dresden city council till 1967. He also retained his position in the Dresden Party Leadership and district head of the AntiFascist Resistance fighters.

paragraph: Section::::Life.:Power beyond the city limits.

paragraph: Beyond his responsibilities in the city itself, Weidauer also sat as a member of the for Saxony, where he chaired the "Communities Committee" from 1946 till 1952 when the regional assemblies and the regional tier of government were abolished in the German Democratic Republic: this was part of a process of concentrating power within The Party that had been under way since before the country's foundation three years earlier. Naturally he was also a member of the city and regional party leaderships. In addition, during the late 1940s and early 1950s Weidauer was a member of various community organisations and associations, propagating new theories of community politics, above all in opposition to the more parliamentary approach favoured by the despised "bourgeois parties". However, following the foundation of the state in 1949, the abolition of the regional tier of government in 1952, and the taming of the "bourgeois parties", community politics became ever less important.

paragraph: During 1948/49 Weidauer was a member of the German People's Council and then, until its abolition, of the (provisional) Chamber of States ("Länderkammer"), a legislative chamber secondary in status and function to the more prominent People's Chamber ("Volkskammer"): the "Länderkammer" had already been largely sidelined some years before its formal abolition in 1958.

paragraph: Section::::Life.:Retirement and death.

paragraph: After his retirement from full-time politics Walter Weidauer turned to historical research, focusing in particular on the destruction of the city in February 1945. He also found himself compelled to ideological confrontation of the "toxic role of German imperialism".

paragraph: Tudor Jenks

paragraph: Tudor Storrs Jenks (May 7, 1857 – February 11, 1922) was an American author, poet, artist and editor, as well as a journalist and lawyer. He is chiefly remembered for the popular works of fiction and nonfiction he wrote for children and general readers.
