paragraph: Georg Matthias Bose

paragraph: "Not to be confused with the unrelated Georg Bose."

paragraph: Georg Matthias Bose (22 September 1710 – 17 September 1761), also known as Mathias Bose, was a famous electrical experimenter in the early days of the development of electrostatics. He is credited with being the first to develop a way of temporarily storing static charges by using an insulated conductor (called a prime conductor). His demonstrations and experiments raised the interests of the German scientific community and the public in the development of electrical research.

paragraph: Section::::Early life.

paragraph: He was born the son of a merchant and educated at the University of Leipzig, receiving his Master's degree in 1727. In 1738, he became the professor of natural philosophy at the University of Wittenberg. As part of his course in physics, he revived experimentation with a glass-globe machine following the design of Francis Hauksbee the Elder, and he later vastly improved on the machine by adding a "prime conductor" which allowed the machine to accumulate the generated static charge at a higher level.

paragraph: He was said to be a flamboyant demonstrator and an assiduous self-promoter, and he corresponded extensively with the Royal Society in London and with similar groups in Prussia, France, Italy and even Istanbul.

paragraph: Section::::Prime conductor.

paragraph: Bose's initial prime conductor consisted of an assistant standing on a block of resin (an effective insulator) holding a metal bar in one hand while touching the spinning globe with the other. The friction-generated charge would have flowed through the assistant to the metal bar and accumulated on the external surface of the bar. In effect, this was an extension of Stephen Gray's 1730 Flying Boy demonstration, but with the addition of a metal conductor which, over time, became the only effective storage device.

paragraph: What was novel was Bose's use of metal (the bar) at a time when it had long been accepted that only insulators (then called "electrics") could successfully accumulate static electricity. Metal conductors were known to dissipate any charge relatively quickly and the need to insulate charged objects from electrical contact with the earth was not well appreciated. Later experiments by other experimenters showed that it was not the mass of the prime conductor which set the limit of static accumulation so much as its exterior dimensions—since like-charges repel and so the cumulative effect only exists on the external skin of the conductor.

paragraph: For three years, from 1742 to 1745, Bose promoted the study of electricity in Germany, and became famous for spectacular experiments including one where he set alight alcoholic spirits floating on the surface of water via a spark generated by his friction machine which passed through the water. Since water and fire were seen as direct opposites, this created a minor sensation among the observers and became widely mentioned in scientific correspondence.

paragraph: Section::::Prime conductor.:Electric Kiss.

paragraph: Bose's "Electric Kiss" (also called "Electric Venus") demonstration was immensely popular with spectators, and it was little more than a variation on Stephen Gray's "Flying Boy" demonstration. An attractive young lady was invited to stand on a block of insulating resin, and she was given a moderate static charge from a spinning globe. A young man from the audience was then invited to give her a kiss, and, in the process, the pair received a reasonable shock.

paragraph: This demonstration combined both the scientific illustration of charge accumulation with the naughtiness of a stolen kiss, so it became a mainstay of all electrical showmen and scientific demonstrators.

paragraph: Section::::Prime conductor.:Beatification.

paragraph: One of the public demonstrations developed by Bose became known as "Beatification", and Bose purposefully concealed the means by which he generated the effect. Eventually he was accused of fabrication, and so he revealed the technique to a colleague who published it in the Royal Society's "Philosophical Transactions".

paragraph: In essences this was an extension of his Prime Conductor developments. A person dressed in a metal helmet or suit of armour would sit on a highly insulated chair and receive a high level of static charge—enough to produce sparkling points and possibly plasma glows around conductive surfaces. Bose eventually admitted to exaggeration, and explained the effect:

paragraph: Section::::Prime conductor.:Leyden jar.

paragraph: The news of Bose's alcohol experiment quickly spread to Pomerania, a small independent state on the Baltic coast, where the dean of the Camin cathedral was also experimenting with a friction generator. J.G. von Kleist (aka Jurgen Georg) had suspended a large stove-pipe above his machine on silk threads which, by coincidence rather than design, turned out to be the best possible shape and mass for a prime conductor in its ability to accumulate charge.

paragraph: Von Kleist wondered whether Bose's experiment at transmitting electricity through water to the flammable spirits would extend to capturing electricity in a small medicine bottle filled with alcohol, since he knew that the glass of the bottle would act as an insulator and prevent the electricity from escaping. He therefore fitted his bottle with a cork through which protruded a nail in contact with the fluid to provide a point of entry.

paragraph: Holding the bottle in one hand, he applied the nail to the prime conductor. Nothing happened immediately, but while carrying the bottle back into a dark room he noticed a slight plasma glow which suggested to him that the alcohol was charge with St Elmo's fire. When he touched the nail with his spare hand he experienced a most violent shock. He said in correspondence that it threw him across the room.

paragraph: Von Kleist had invented the Leyden Jar, but he did not understand the significance of his cupped hand held around the outside of the bottle which provided the one exterior conductive element needed to allow the Leyden Jar to accumulate a massive amount of charge.

paragraph: Having experienced such a shock, he was naturally loath to hold the bottle in his hand again and he seems not to have been able to duplicate the experiment. When he advised his scientific correspondents, they were also naturally very wary of holding the jar, and for some time they failed to duplicate the experiment. He is known to have corresponded his finding to a: Dr Lieberkuhn in Berlin, Mr Winckler at Lepzick (Leipzig), Mr Świetlicki of Dantzick (Danzig) and Mr Krugar of Hall as well as the professors of the academy of Lignitz.(sic)

paragraph: Von Kleist had been educated at the University of Leyden, and it is now widely assumed that he would also have corresponded with fellow ex-students Andreas Cunaeus (a lawyer), and Prof. Jean Allamand (theologian professor) at the University. Allmand attempted to duplicate the experiment with a glass of beer and eventually succeeded.

paragraph: Cunaeus and Allmand worked occasionally with the professor of physics at Leyden University, Pieter Musschenbroek on new electrical experiments, and it took time for them to discover the secret. They finally worked out the importance of the outside conduction surface provided by the hand which was needed to prevent the development of electrostatic backpressure, and, as a result, it was the Leyden University experimenters who received the bulk of the credit.

paragraph: Section::::Prime conductor.:Thirty Years War.

paragraph: In 1744, Bose published his major works on electricity in the form of pamphlets released in London and Paris. However, many of his manuscripts were later lost during the Thirty Years War. He is now mainly celebrated for his spectacular demonstrations rather than for his scientific contributions. In 1757 he was elected a Fellow of the Royal Society of London.

paragraph: In 1760, during the Seven Years' War with Prussia, Bose was kidnapped from Wittenberg as a strategic asset, and taken to Magdeburg where he was held as a hostage. This, ironically, was the site of Otto von Guericke's famous sulphur ball experiment. He died at Magdeburg two years later.

paragraph: Sir Coplestone Bampfylde, 2nd Baronet

paragraph: Sir Coplestone Bampfylde, 2nd Baronet (ca. 1633 – 9 February 1692) of Poltimore and North Molton and Warleigh, Tamerton Foliot, in Devon, was an English politician who sat in the House of Commons at various times between 1659 and 1689.

paragraph: Section::::Origins.

paragraph: Bampfylde was the eldest son of Sir John Bampfylde, 1st Baronet (1590–1650), of Poltimore and North Molton, by his wife Gertrude Coplestone, 4th daughter of Amyas Coplestone and co-heiress of her brother John Coplestone of Copplestone in the parish of Colebrooke and of Warleigh in the parish of Tamerton Foliot, Devon. His brother-in-law was Sir William Morice, 1st Baronet, husband of his sister Gertrude Bampfylde.

paragraph: Section::::Career.

paragraph: He matriculated at Corpus Christi College, Oxford on 20 March 1651, where he befriended Sir John Drake, 1st Baronet. He succeeded to the baronetcy in 1651 on the death of his father. He was nominated Justice of the Peace for Devon in 1656 and one year later became a Commissioner for Assessment. In 1659 Bampfylde was elected Member of Parliament for Tiverton, Devon, in the Third Protectorate Parliament. Although his father and two of his uncles were considered Parliamentarians, Bampfylde himself was a very active Royalist. In February 1660 he delivered a petition from Devon's population for more rights to the king's general George Monck, on the discovery of which by Parliament he was temporarily imprisoned in the Tower of London. In 1660 he was appointed a Commissioner of Militia, serving subsequently as colonel of the Devon Militia. He became the first High Sheriff of Devon after the Restoration of the Monarchy and toured the Western Circuit as a Commissioner of Oyer and Terminer. He was a Deputy Lieutenant of Devon from 1661 and worked as Commissioner for Corporations in the following two years. In 1671 Bampfylde was elected MP for Devon in 1671 in a by-election to the Cavalier Parliament which seat he held until 1679. He was reasonably diligent as an MP, until the outbreak of the Popish Plot in the autumn of 1678, when the hysterical political atmosphere caused him to retire to his home. He generally voted with the Court party, especially after his second marriage, when he was much influenced by his father-in-law Sir Courtenay Pole, who enjoyed the personal regard of Charles II. He was again elected MP for Devon in 1685 and held the seat until 1689. He initially welcomed the Glorious Revolution, but in his last years became a stern critic of the new regime.

paragraph: Section::::Career.:Greets Grand Duke of Tuscany.

paragraph: Sir Coplestone Bampfylde is mentioned in the Travel Journal of Cosimo III de' Medici, Grand Duke of Tuscany (1642–1723) in connection with his visit to Plymouth on 5 April 1669:

paragraph: Section::::Marriage and progeny.

paragraph: Keyne

paragraph: Keyne (also referred to as Keane, Kayane Keyna, Cenau, Cenedion, Ceinwen) was a 5th-century holy woman and hermitess who said to have traveled widely through what is now South Wales and Cornwall.

paragraph: Section::::Sources.

paragraph: Numerous dedications to Saint Keyne exist in areas as diverse as South Wales, Anglesey, Somerset, Hertfordshire, and Cornwall. The only literary source on the life of Saint Keyne is the "Vita Sanctae Keynae", which was edited by John of Tynemouth and included in his "Sanctilogium Angliae Walliae Scotiae et Hiberniae" in the 14th century. Unfortunately, this account is probably not trustworthy, as it was recorded nearly 800 years after her death. No other contemporary sources about her or her life have survived.

paragraph: Section::::Life.

paragraph: Keyne was one of the 12 daughters of the Welsh king King Brychan Brycheiniog (Brecon) in what is now South Wales (A different source, "De Situ Brecheniauc", says that he actually had 24 daughters, all of whom were saints). Although she was a great beauty and received many offers of marriage, Keyne took a vow of virginity and pursued a religious life (hence her Welsh name, "Cain Wyry", or Keyne the Maiden). Her "vita" reports that she traveled widely, and is said to have founded several oratories, including Llangeinor in mid Glamorgan, Llangunnor and Llangain in Dyfed, and Rockfield (Llangennon) in Runston, Gwent. Eventually she is said to have crossed the Severn into Cornwall, where she resided as a hermitess for many years. The village of St Keyne in Cornwall, is named after her, and is the site of a church and a holy well which also take her name.

paragraph: Around 490, she is alleged to have visited her nephew Saint Cadoc at St Michael's Mount. Cadoc persuaded her to return to Wales, and healing spring marked the location where she settled and eventually died. She died a virgin on 5 October in either 490 or 505. Llangeinor in Glamorgan has been proposed as a likely spot, as an ancient well is situated there, which is still said to have healing properties.

paragraph: Section::::Legacy.

paragraph: Saint Keyne's feast is celebrated on 8 October, although it is also recorded as 30 September. She was the original patron saint of what is now St Martin-by-Looe (Penndrumm) and is linked with the River Kenwyn in Truro. However, her most enduring and romanticized legacy is linked to the holy well that takes its name from her, located in St Keyne, Cornwall. According to legend, whichever partner in a marriage drinks from the well first will have the upper hand in the marriage, and rule over the other. This story was known in the Middle Ages, and was memorialized in Robert Southey's poem "The Well of St Keyne."

paragraph: Some sources credit her as the patron saint of Keynsham in Somerset, where she is said to resided near the banks of the Avon, which was swarming with serpents and uninhabitable. After Saint Keyne issued a fervent prayer, the serpents were transformed to stone, and the area became habitable. (Today, these are considered to be the fossilized remains of ammonites). However, a similar miracle is also attributed to St. Hilda, and it has been suggested that Keynsham instead takes its name from "Ceagin's (Caega) Hamm."

paragraph: Section::::Interpretations.

paragraph: The Edwardian scholar G.H. Doble found it hard to accept that a woman could have traveled so far or founded so many settlements, and therefore she "quite may well have been a man." He believed that the journeyings were more in character with male saints from this period, a sentiment which was shared by the scholar Alban Butler, who believed a number of female saints had actually been men. This view has been challenged by scholars such as Jane Cartwright, who states that this is indicative of a school of thought in which male saints are much more likely to be real historical figures than female saints, and that maleness alone is greater evidence of historicity than femaleness.

paragraph: Section::::St. Keyne's Holy Well.

paragraph: The holy well of Saint Keyne is located near St. Keyne's Church, and currently features a well building made of dressed granite. The original housing was built in the 16th century, but was rebuilt in the 1936 after the adjoining lane was widened. The plaque next to the well describes the spell which Saint Keyne cast upon the water of the well. The plaque reads: "The legend of Saint Keyne Well. Saint Keyne was a princess who lived about 600 AD. She laid on the waters of this well a spell thus described by Richard Carew in 1602 AD—'The quality that man or wife / Whom chance or choice attaines / First of this sacred stream to drinke / Thereby the mastery gains.'"

paragraph: In Victorian times the holy well in St Keyne had the reputation of conferring supremacy to the marriage partner who first tasted it. There is also a ballad called ″"The Well of St Keyne"″ written by Robert Southey; it is set to an adaptation of the air of the Helston Furry Dance.

paragraph: Blake Schwarzenbach

paragraph: Alexander Blake Schwarzenbach (born May 21, 1967) is an American musician. He is the singer and guitarist of Jawbreaker (1986–1996; 2017–Present), and was previously a member of Jets to Brazil (1997–2003), The Thorns of Life (2008–2009), and Forgetters (2009– 2013). Although experiencing little mainstream success himself, Schwarzenbach and groups he has been a member of have influenced a variety of musical groups.

paragraph: Section::::Early life and education.

paragraph: Schwarzenbach spent his early childhood in Berkeley, California, Portland, Oregon, and Boulder, Colorado. Upon moving to Venice, Los Angeles, California to live with his father, he attended the Crossroads School, a private K-12 school in Santa Monica, California. He then attended New York University between 1985 and 1991, including a two-quarter stint at UC Santa Cruz in 1985. He received a Bachelor of Arts degree from NYU in English literature and creative writing in 1991.

paragraph: Section::::Musical career.

paragraph: Section::::Musical career.:Jawbreaker.

paragraph: Jawbreaker formed in 1986 after Blake Schwarzenbach and drummer Adam Pfahler responded to a flyer that bassist Chris Bauermeister posted in a New York University dorm cafeteria. The band played their first show as Jawbreaker on March 16, 1989 at Club 88 in Los Angeles, CA. Jawbreaker disbanded in the summer of 1996. They had played together for ten years and released four albums. Their last show was on May 19, 1996 at the Capitol Theater in Olympia, WA.

paragraph: On April 19, 2017, Jawbreaker announced that they were reuniting after a 21-year hiatus, and has since performed numerous live shows. They are also considering writing new material.

paragraph: Section::::Musical career.:Jets to Brazil.

paragraph: Schwarzenbach then formed the indie band Jets to Brazil in 1997 with Jeremy Chatelain of Handsome and Chris Daly of Texas is the Reason. Jets to Brazil released three albums before disbanding after their summer tour in 2003.

paragraph: Section::::Musical career.:The Thorns of Life.

paragraph: In October 2008, Blake revealed that he recently started writing music for a then "as-yet-unnamed group" with drummer Aaron Cometbus (formerly of Crimpshrine) and bassist Daniela Sea, formerly of the Gr'ups and Cypher In The Snow, but best known for her recurring role on television's "The L Word". The band has since been named The Thorns of Life. As of November 2008, the group has played a couple of shows in Brooklyn, with videos and reviews available online.

paragraph: Blake informed via Facebook:

paragraph: In early 2009, Cometbus left the band quietly. Although there has been no official announcement, many assume that The Thorns of Life are no more. Their break-up was announced on punknews.org as an official break-up.

paragraph: Section::::Musical career.:Forgetters.

paragraph: On August 23, 2009, Blake announced via Facebook information on his new band, Forgetters. After a European tour in spring of 2011, bass player Caroline Paquita announced her departure from the band on her blog, declining to comment further.

paragraph: Section::::Musical influence.

paragraph: Schwarzenbach largely remains an influential figure in the punk/emo/indie music scene. He is known as "one of the godfathers of emo". He has a devoted following from musicians in the genre, particularly for his songs while playing in Jawbreaker, as shown by the variety of groups who paid tribute to the band on the 2003 Jawbreaker tribute album "". Blake was a character in the online game "Emogame 2". The main character, "Blake", in "Nothing Nice To Say", a webcomic, is named after him and bears a resemblance to the singer. The folk punk band Defiance, Ohio's song "I'm Just Going To Leave..." refers to listening to Jawbreaker, as does the song "I Must Be Hateful" by Lagwagon. The Get Up Kids song "I'll Catch You" refers to the Jawbreaker song "Jinx Removing". The Smoking Popes song "You Spoke To Me" is a tribute to Schwarzenbach's influence on the life of lead singer Josh Caterer. The Pootie song "What Will They Think?" has a few Jawbreaker references as well. He is also mentioned in an Eve 6 song, "Friend of Mine"; with the lyric, " remember that Blake said to 'make sure you wake and help save your generation'".

paragraph: Section::::Non-musical activities.

paragraph: Section::::Non-musical activities.:Video game reviews.

paragraph: Irene Rich

paragraph: Irene Rich (born Irene Frances Luther; October 13, 1891 – April 22, 1988) was an American actress who worked in both silent films and talkies, as well as radio.

paragraph: Section::::Early life.

paragraph: Rich was born in Buffalo, New York to Mabel A. ("née" Robinson) and William Martin Luther. She was raised in the Buffalo area and then Stites, Idaho, and Spokane, Washington with her older half-brother Edwin Darius Luther (1884-1961) and younger brother, Richard Robinson Luther.

paragraph: At age 17, she wed Elvo Elcourt Deffenbaugh at All Saints' Cathedral in Spokane, Washington on February 17, 1909, after her parents talked about sending her to boarding school. The couple had one child, born Irene Frances Luther Deffenbaugh, who later adopted her stepfather's surname and was a stage and film actress in the 1930s known as Frances Rich before becoming a noted sculptor. Elvo Deffenbaugh was a salesman who traveled a lot. The young family moved to the Bay Area of San Francisco, where the marriage ended after two years.

paragraph: Next, Irene married Charles Henry Rich, who was then a lieutenant in the United States Army (became a major during World War I and was later a lieutenant colonel), in Portland, Oregon on January 9, 1912. The two had met when he was stationed with the 25th Infantry at Fort George Wright in Spokane. They had one daughter, Martha Jane Rich, who was born on December 13, 1916.) The marriage ended after four years. Luther went into real estate to provide for herself and her daughters. She then went to Hollywood in 1918 and found work as an extra.

paragraph: Section::::Career.

paragraph: Rich worked for Will Rogers, who used her in eight pictures, including "Water Water Everywhere" (1920), "The Strange Boarder" (1920), "Jes' Call Me Jim" (1920), "Boys Will Be Boys" (1921) and "The Ropin' Fool" (1921). She often portrayed society women, such as in the 1925 adaptation of "Lady Windermere's Fan" and also in "Queen of the Yukon" (1940). In two of her last films she played a frontier wife and mother. She was the mother of Gail Russell's character 'Penelope Worth', in John Wayne's "Angel and the Badman" as well as in John Ford's cavalry story "Fort Apache" in which she portrayed Mrs. O'Rourke, the wife of Sergeant O'Rourke (Ward Bond).

paragraph: In the 1930s, Rich did much work in radio. From 1933 to 1944, she hosted a nationwide anthology program of serialized mini-dramas, "Dear John" (aka "The Irene Rich Show"). Her leading man was actor Gale Gordon, (who later played Lucille Ball's apoplectic boss "Mr. Mooney" on TV). In the early 1940s, Rich starred in "Glorious One" on NBC Blue. Rich appeared in stage productions, including "Seven Keys to Baldpate" (1935) which starred George M. Cohan, the creator of the play, and later "As the Girls Go" in 1948.

paragraph: Section::::Personal life.

paragraph: Rich married for the third time on April 6, 1927, in Del Monte, California, to real estate mogul David Ferguson Blankenhorn (1886-1969), at the home of William May Garland. Blankenhorn was well known in the Los Angeles real estate market, was a longtime resident of Pasadena and San Francisco, and handled the transaction of William Wrigley, Jr. purchasing Catalina Island in 1919. Rich and Blankenhorn separated at least three times in the summer and fall of 1931, they filed for divorce on October 30, 1931, they were divorced that November.

paragraph: She became involved in a deadly love triangle in 1949 when Agnes Elizabeth Garnier shot and killed wealthy businessman John Edwin Owen (1881-1949). Owen, formerly a businessman and politician from Michigan, was president of the National Apartment House Owner's Association, among other business interests, including cattle and horse ranching in Gunnison, Colorado and Riverside, California. The Riverside County Sheriff's Department investigator said that Garnier killed Owen (who was married, but estranged and separated from his wife) and blamed Rich for coming between them. Garnier, Owen's personal secretary, told the district attorney that the gun went off accidentally and she took the gun from an intoxicated Owen as he was going to bed. Rich said that she was not in love with Owen and that they were just friends. Garnier plead not guilty. The prosecutor decided not to try for first degree murder, and she was found guilty of manslaughter, and received a sentence of "one-to-ten" years. Garnier, after losing her appeal in January 1950, was released from Tehachapi Prison after serving less than a year-and-a-half, in May 1951. She died in San Diego in 1990 at the age of 93.

paragraph: Section::::Family and Death.

paragraph: Rich was married four times, the first time at age 17. She had two daughters, Frances and Jane. On February 28, 1950, Rich married her last husband, George Henry Clifford (1881-1959), a public utilities executive, at the Sherry-Netherlands Hotel in New York City. He was president of Stone & Webster Service Corporation. The couple bought an avocado ranch within Hope Ranch, near Santa Barbara, in 1956, where they lived out the remainder of their lives.

paragraph: On April 22, 1988, Irene Rich died at age 96 of heart failure in Hope Ranch, California.

paragraph: Rich has two stars on the Hollywood Walk of Fame, one for her contribution to the motion picture industry at 6225 Hollywood Boulevard and one for her contributions to the radio industry at 6150 Hollywood Boulevard.

paragraph: Teixeirinha

paragraph: Teixeirinha "(pronounced tay-shay-REE-ñuh)", given name Vitor Mateus Teixeira, was a Brazilian musician. "Teixeirinha" is the diminutive form of the common Brazilian surname of "Teixeira".

paragraph: Teixeirinha was born in Rolante, Rio Grande do Sul, on March 3, 1927. Teixeirinha's father, Saturnino Teixeira, died when young Vitor was 6 years old. He had a brother and two sisters. His mother, Ledurina Mateus Teixeira died when Teixeirinha was just 9 years old. Afterwards, he lived with relatives and did many small jobs to support himself, like working on farms, delivering newspapers, etc.

paragraph: At eighteen years of age, he enlisted into the army, but never served. During this time, he worked for the DAER (Departamento de Estradas de Rodagem) for six years. He left to try a singing career on the radio.

paragraph: Teixeirinha met his wife Zoraida Lima Teixeira in the city of Santa Cruz do Sul, Rio Grande do Sul, as he traveled through various cities singing on local radio stations trying to start his artistic career. They married in 1957 and moved to Soledade. They then moved to the city of Passo Fundo where Teixeirinha sang on the Municipal Radio of Passo Fundo.

paragraph: Teixeirinha received his first invitation to record in 1959. He recorded ""Xote Soledade"" and ""Briga no Batizado"", ("Fight at the Baptism") in São Paulo. Soon after, he wrote Coração de Luto (Mourning or Grieving Heart), which was the first B-side of his fourth album. It has since sold 25 million copies around the world. In 1961, Teixeirinha had sold more than 1 million albums and the recording house couldn't keep up with demand for his recordings. He moved to Porto Alegre but kept travelling to São Paulo until May 1961 when he settled in Porto Alegre.

paragraph: By 1963, he was traveling through Brazil known as the "Gaúcho Coração do Rio Grande." In that same year, he won the "Chico Viola," an award given on Star Disk, which was a gala program on Brazilian TV. The award was for the artist with the best-selling album of the year. Teixeirinha was the biggest selling artist in Brazil for two years (1962-1963).

paragraph: In 1964, he wrote a script for the movie "Heart of Mourning," based on his popular song. It was produced by Leopoldi Sounds in 1966, and became a box office smash. In 1969, he appeared in the film "Driver Without Limits."

paragraph: He was hired to do fifteen shows in the U.S. in 1973, and eighteen shows in Canada in 1975.

paragraph: Teixeirinha was accompanied by Mary Terezinha on accordion for 22 years during his recording and performing career. They met in 1961 while playing on Rádio Bagé. She separated from him completely in 1984. In 1989, in her book "Agora Eu Falo" (Now, I Will Tell), she tells of her tumultuous and amorous relationship with Teixeirinha.

paragraph: Rib-Hadda

paragraph: Rib-Hadda (also rendered Rib-Addi, Rib-Addu, Rib-Adda) was king of Byblos during the mid fourteenth century BCE. He is the author of some sixty of the Amarna letters all to Akhenaten. His name is Akkadian in form and may invoke the Northwest Semitic god Hadad, though his letters invoke only Ba'alat Gubla, the "Lady of Byblos" (probably another name for Asherah).

paragraph: Rib-Hadda's letters often took the form of complaints or pleas for action on the part of the reigning Pharaoh. In EA 105, he begged Pharaoh to intervene in a dispute with Beirut, whose ruler had confiscated two Byblian merchant vessels. In EA 122, Rib-Hadda complained of an attack by the Egyptian commissioner Pihuri, who killed a number of Byblos' Shardana mercenaries and took captive three of Rib-Hadda's men.

paragraph: Rib-Hadda was involved in a long-standing dispute with Abdi-Ashirta, the ruler of Amurru (probably in southeastern Lebanon and southwestern Syria), who hired mercenaries from among the Habiru, Shardana, and other warlike tribes. EA 81 contains a plea for Egyptian aid against Amurru, whose ruler Rib-Hadda accused of luring away his followers and inciting them to rebellion. He reported further that an assassin sent by Abdi-Ashirta had attempted to kill him. Rib-Hadda pleaded with Akhenaten to send Pítati to defend him from the forces of Amurru and from his own increasingly resentful peasantry. In one of the most poignant of the Amarna texts, Rib-Hadda wrote "the people of Ammiya have killed their lord and I am afraid." (EA 75). He added: "like a bird in a trap so I am here in Gubla (ie: Byblos)." (EA 74 & EA 81) Zemar, a city previously under his control, fell to Abdi-Ashirta (EA 84). Shortly thereafter the Egyptian commissioner Pahannate was withdrawn from northern Canaan, leaving Rib-Hadda without even the appearance of Egyptian support. His pleas for assistance evidently went unanswered (EA 107) and caused much annoyance to Akhenaten. Akhenaten's irritation with Rib-Hadda is recounted in EA 117 where the pharaoh is quoted saying to Rib-Hadda ""Why do you alone keep writing to me?"" (EA 117) While Abdi-Ashirta is reported to have been killed in EA 101, this only provided temporary relief to Rib-Hadda since the former was succeeded by his son Aziru; Rib-Hadda soon after complains about the depredations caused by "the sons of Abdi-Ashirta" in several Amarna letters to Akhenaten such as EA 103 and EA 109

paragraph: In EA 89, Rib-Hadda reported a coup d'etat in neighboring Tyre, in which the ruler of Tyre, his fellow kinsmen, was killed along with his family. Rib-Hadda's sister and her daughters, who had been sent to Tyre to keep them away from Abdi-Ashirta's Amurru invaders, were also presumed to be among those killed. If this was not bad enough, Rib-Hadda wrote again to report that the Hittites were invading Egyptian protectorates in Syria and burning "the King's lands". (EA 126). At one point Rib-Hadda was forced to flee to exile in Beirut, under the protection of king Ammunira. (EA 137) In EA 75, Rib-Hadda details the changing political situation around Byblos:

paragraph: An aged and ailing Rib-Hadda continued to write to Pharaoh, telling him of violent upheavals in Phoenicia and Syria, including revolutions instigated by Abdi-Ashirta's son Aziru coupled with incursions by Apiru raiders. (e.g. EA 137)

paragraph: Rib-Hadda was ultimately exiled by his younger brother Ilirabih and not long afterwards and depending on the interpretation of EA 162, either sent to be killed or offered a mayoral position in Sidon. This event is mentioned in Amarna letter EA 162 from Akhenaten to Aziru.

paragraph: Alan Reed (artist)

paragraph: Alan Reed (born 1961 in Corbridge, Northumberland, England) is a UK watercolour artist. He began painting at an early age, winning a prize at the age of 10 for his painting of 'Bamburgh Castle at sunset'. He had his first exhibition at the age of 18, at the local library in his home town, Ponteland, and has been taking commissions ever since. His watercolour paintings have been exhibited worldwide in the UK, Italy, the US and the Middle East.

paragraph: Section::::Career.

paragraph: He trained as an illustrator/graphic designer at Newcastle upon Tyne College of Art and Technology from 1978 to 1982. Although his course did not touch on watercolour in the first year as he was being trained in other mediums including acrylic and gouache, he practised using watercolours in his spare time. Early influences were established international artists including the American, Winslow Homer, who had lived at Cullercoats in the North east of England, not far from where Alan lives now. He also admired the work of Rowland Hilder, who he described as a master of cityscapes, John Singer Sargent and Sir William Russell Flint.

paragraph: He left college with an HND in Applied Design and became self-employed in 1984 using the Enterprise Allowance Scheme. He also commenced a series of lecturing jobs at Newcastle College of Art and Technology, South Tyneside College, Derwentside College and Cleveland College of Art, covering a 20-year timescale. He opened his own Gallery of Fine Art in Eldon Garden, Newcastle in 1998 to 2002 and then went on to open his own studio in Ponteland.

paragraph: He has been a member of the Fine Art Trade Guild for over 10 years.

paragraph: Section::::The UK.

paragraph: Reed's work often includes street scenes. Newcastle upon Tyne is a source of inspiration and the city's football fans heading for St James Park football ground have been one of many local subjects. Scenes of Durham city, Northumberland castles and Norfolk are also amongst his extensive portfolio amassed over three decades of painting. He also has an array of images of Scotland, in particular Edinburgh and the east coastline and has exhibited on a regular basis in Scotland. For three successive years (1992,1993 and 1994) his work was shortlisted for the Sunday Times Watercolour Competition. In September 2010 Alan was 1st runner up in "The Bath Prize" with his original painting of "The Royal Crescent, Bath". His painting "The Roman Baths by Torchlight" was also highly commended. He has had a number of solo exhibitions since 1981 including those at the Mall Galleries in London and has been a regular exhibitor of rowing scenes in the Stewards' enclosure at the Henley Royal Regatta along with exhibitions in his native Newcastle.

paragraph: Section::::Italy.

paragraph: In 1991 Alan was introduced to Italy by Susan; the holiday was to have a lasting effect on him. Impressed by the landscape, Alan subsequently travelled to various regions throughout the country from the Veneto to Piedmont, Tuscany, Umbria, the Amalfi Coast and Abruzzo. He has completed several commissions to paint famous towns and cities including San Gimignano, Florence and Venice. In 2005 he held an exhibition of his work entitled "The Light" in Marostica, which was featured on Italian television and local press.

paragraph: Section::::Middle East.

paragraph: Also in 2005 Reed was commissioned to paint two watercolours for a client in Oman. This became the catalyst for regular painting trips to The Gulf, including Dubai and Kuwait as well as Oman. common feature of his work in this region has been the dhows at rest in calm harbour waters, the distinctive Arabic architecture and the activity in the life of the Souks. Alan has enjoyed an ongoing relationship with the Bait Muzna Gallery in Muscat since 2007. He had a joint exhibition with landscape photographer Malcolm MacGregor titled "Mystical Oman" in April 2010 opened by his Highness Sayyid Tarik Al Said. sketch book studies of Oman have attracted significant interest and have been printed as a handmade leather bound limited edition reproduction sketch book featuring watercolours to celebrate Oman's 40th Renaissance.

paragraph: Section::::Personal life.

paragraph: Alan was born in Corbridge, Northumberland, England, eldest son of Kenneth and Gillian Reed. Kenneth Reed is also an artist, specialising in paintings of golf courses. Alan's grandfather, Thomas Reed also painted and his great grandfather carved ship figureheads. Alan now lives in Ponteland, Northumberland where his gallery and studio are based within his own home. He married his wife Susan in 1993 and they have two children and three grandchildren. They both share strong family ethics and a Christian faith along with a unique bond following an operation on 27 June 2001 at Newcastle's Freeman Hospital. Susan needed a kidney transplant and although her mother was tested she was not compatible. Alan's kidneys were and he donated one of his own to Susan. story was featured on BBC 1's Songs of Praise on Sunday 5 November 2006.

paragraph: Section::::Further reading.

paragraph: Alan's approach to painting is described in a book entitled "Landscapes in Watercolour" by Theodora Philcox, a lecturer in art at Warwickshire. The book featured the work of 23 leading watercolourists from around the world.

paragraph: Section::::Union assault.

paragraph: On May 22, 1863, General Ulysses S. Grant ordered an assault on the Confederate heights at Vicksburg, Mississippi. The plan called for a storming party of volunteers to build a bridge across a moat and plant scaling ladders against the enemy embankment in advance of the main attack.

paragraph: The volunteers knew the odds were against survival and the mission was called, in nineteenth century vernacular, a "forlorn hope". Only single men were accepted as volunteers and even then, twice as many men as needed came forward and were turned away. The assault began in the early morning following a naval bombardment.

paragraph: The Union soldiers came under enemy fire immediately and were pinned down in the ditch they were to cross. Despite repeated attacks by the main Union body, the men of the forlorn hope were unable to retreat until nightfall. Of the 150 men in the storming party, nearly half were killed. Seventy-nine of the survivors were awarded the Medal of Honor.

paragraph: Reggie Schwarz

paragraph: Major Reginald Oscar Schwarz (4 May 1875 – 18 November 1918), known as Reggie Schwarz, was a South African international cricketer and rugby union footballer.

paragraph: Section::::Early life.

paragraph: Schwarz was born in Lee in London in 1875, the son of Robert George Schwarz, a merchant from Breslau who lived in Bagshot in Surrey. Schwarz was educated at St Paul's School in London, and matriculated to Christ's College, Cambridge in 1893. While at Cambridge he joined the Cambridge University rugby team and in the Varsity Match of 1893 he won his only sporting Blue. Although Schwarz became better known as a cricketer than a rugby player, he did not win a Blue for cricket.

paragraph: Section::::Rugby career.

paragraph: Schwarz won three caps for England against Scotland in 1899, and Wales and Ireland in 1901. At club level, Schwarz played for Richmond and in the 1896–97 season was invited to play for the Barbarians.

paragraph: Section::::Cricket career.

paragraph: Schwarz played a handful of games for Middlesex County Cricket Club in 1901 and 1902 before emigrating to South Africa where he played for Transvaal. It was on his return to England with the South African cricket team in 1904 that he made his mark, having learned from Bernard Bosanquet how to bowl the googly. Unusually, he bowled it as his stock delivery, with considerable success: in 1904 and 1907 he topped the bowling averages, in the latter year taking 137 wickets at just 11.70 apiece, and he was named as a Wisden Cricketer of the Year in 1908. On that 1907 tour, the first on which South Africa played Tests in England, they had no fewer than four leg-break and googly bowlers, Schwarz having passed on the secret of the googly to Aubrey Faulkner, Bert Vogler and Gordon White.

paragraph: Schwarz retired from playing regularly after the 1912 season, although he appeared three times for L Robinson's XI over the next two seasons. In all he took 398 wickets at a bowling average of 17.58 average, and in Tests he took 55 at 22.60. Schwarz made one first class century: 102 runs scored in a non-Test game against an England XI at Lord's in 1904.

paragraph: Section::::Personal and military career.

paragraph: Schwarz was a member of the London stock exchange from 1899 to 1902, before joining South African Railways in 1902 after his move to South Africa. From 1904 to 1911, he was a Member of the South African stock exchange until he rejoined the London stock exchange on his return to Britain.

paragraph: Schwarz was a Major in the King's Royal Rifle Corps of the British Army and fought on the Western Front in World War I. He was given the role of Deputy Assistant Quartermaster General and was Assistant Controller of salvage. For his actions during the war he was Mentioned in Despatches and was awarded the Military Cross. He survived the war, but died in the Spanish flu epidemic at Étaples in northern France just seven days after the Armistice had been signed. He was 43.

paragraph: William de Clinton, 1st Earl of Huntingdon (c.1304 – 31 October 1354) and Lord High Admiral, was the younger son of John de Clinton, 1st Baron Clinton (d.1312/13) of Maxstoke Castle, Warwickshire, and Ida De Odingsells who was the granddaughter of Ida II Longespee. The surname Clinton came from the lordship of Clinton in Oxfordshire, given to them at the Conquest. Geoffrey de Clinton was Lord Chamberlain and Treasurer of Henry I, while Roger de Clinton was Bishop of Coventry 1127–1148.

paragraph: William de Clinton was a boyhood companion of Edward III of England, and one of the king's followers who secretly entered Nottingham Castle and captured Roger Mortimer, 1st Earl of March. The arrest and subsequent execution of Mortimer cleared the way for the adolescent Edward III to assume power. William de Clinton married Juliana de Leybourne, widow of John Hastings, 2nd Baron Hastings. From 6 September 1330 to 14 January 1337 he served in Parliament. In 1333 he was constituted Lord Admiral of the Seas. On 16 March 1337, Edward III created William de Clinton Earl of Huntingdon. William de Clinton died in 1354, leaving an only daughter, Elizabeth, whose legitimacy is doubtful.

paragraph: Gilbert Harding

paragraph: Gilbert Harding (5 June 1907 – 16 November 1960) was an English journalist and radio and television personality. His many careers included schoolmaster, journalist, policeman, disc-jockey, actor, interviewer and television presenter. He also appeared in several films, sometimes in character parts but usually as himself - for example in "Expresso Bongo", 1959.

paragraph: Harding had a sizeable role alongside John Mills in the 1952 film "The Gentle Gunman" and narrated the introduction to the film "Pacific Destiny", 1956. He also made a couple of comedy records in the 1950s.

paragraph: Section::::Early life.

paragraph: Gilbert Charles Harding was born in Hereford where his parents were employed as "master" and "matron" of the city's workhouse.

paragraph: Harding's education continued at Queens' College, Cambridge, after which he took jobs teaching English in Canada and France. He returned to Britain and worked as a policeman in Bradford, before taking a position as "The Times" correspondent in Cyprus. In 1936 he again returned to Britain and began a long-term career with the BBC.

paragraph: Section::::BBC career.

paragraph: He was a regular on BBC Radio's Twenty Questions and was voted Personality of the Year in the National Radio Awards of 1953-4. Harding regularly appeared on the BBC television panel game "What's My Line?" as a panellist, having been the presenter of the very first episode in 1951.

paragraph: Harding was notorious for his irascibility and was at one time characterised in the tabloid press as "the rudest man in Britain". His fame sprang from an inability to suffer fools gladly, and many 1950s TV viewers watched "What's My Line?" less for the quiz elements than for the chance of a live Harding outburst. An incident on an early broadcast started this trend when Harding became annoyed with a contestant and told the contestant that he was getting bored with him. Harding's rudeness off screen was also commented upon; at a wedding reception at which a guest remarked that the bride and groom would make an ideal couple. Harding replied "You should know, you've slept with both of them". He became increasingly unable to move anywhere in public without being accosted by adoring viewers. On one occasion he asked a mother with two children if "your children are crippled", because they had stayed seated on a railway bench.

paragraph: In 1960 he was reduced to tears on an edition of the "Face to Face" series, after being questioned by the host John Freeman. As the focus of the interview moved on to the subject of death, Freeman asked Harding if he had ever been in the presence of a dead person. At this point, in replying in the affirmative, Harding's voice began to break and his eyes watered. Freeman later said he had not anticipated the effect this would have; Harding had witnessed his mother's death in 1954. Freeman appeared to be unaware that Harding was referring to his mother since later in the interview he asserted that Harding's mother was still alive. Harding contradicted him and Freeman moved quickly on. This version of events has been contradicted by the producer, Hugh Burnett.

paragraph: Freeman publicly expressed regret about this line of questioning; its emphasis on Harding's "closeness" to his mother has since been seen by at least one commentator as a tactless attempt to expose his homosexuality, though the viewing public did not become aware of it, and he was seen as merely a lonely bachelor. Harding kept his sexuality secret because male homosexual behaviour was a criminal offence in the UK. Harding also admitted in the programme that his bad manners and temper were "indefensible". "[I'm] profoundly lonely," he stated, later adding, "I would very much like to be dead."

paragraph: Section::::Death.

paragraph: Harding died a few weeks after the 'Face to Face' programme was broadcast, collapsing outside Broadcasting House as he was about to climb into a taxi. The cause was an asthma attack. He was 53 years old.

paragraph: Harding was buried in St. Mary's Roman Catholic Cemetery, Kensal Green, west London.

paragraph: Section::::Media.

paragraph: Behind Harding's gruff exterior there was a lonely and complex man who constantly donated to charity, visited the sick and helped many in need. But such details, in conflict with the public image, became public only after his death. In 1979 radio presenter Owen Spencer-Thomas on BBC Radio London's "Gilbert Harding" described him as "enigmatic ... bad-tempered and rude, yet his friends counted him as one of the kindest, and most generous."
