<mask> (born 1976) is a contemporary Cree artist based in Edmonton, Alberta. Personal and professional life
Draney was born in Edmonton and raised in Slave Lake, Alberta. Draney is a Cree, from Sawridge First Nation. She graduated from the University of Alberta in 2000 with a Bachelor of Fine Arts in English Literature. In 2004, she completed a Fine Arts Diploma from Grant MacEwan Community College, Alberta. She obtained a second Bachelor of Fine Arts from the University of Alberta in 2006 and a Master of Fine Arts from Emily Carr University of Art and Design in 2010. Draney has participated in several residencies at the Banff Centre for Arts and Creativity, including: What Colour is the Present?led by Duane Linklater (2013); Trading Post led by Candice Hopkins (2012); Towards Language led by Greg Staats (2010); and North led by Sharon Shorty (2007). In 2017 Draney was awarded a commission for a permanent public art project for the main atrium of the Macewan University Centre for the Arts and Culture. In 2019 a number of her pieces were acquired through the Landmark: A New Chapter Acquisition Project by the Art Gallery of Alberta as a part of the Canada Council for the Arts “New Chapter” grant. Her paintings can be found in major private and public collections in Canada including, Alberta Foundation for the Arts, Art Gallery of Alberta, RBC collection, Walter Philips Gallery, and National Gallery of Canada. Style and works

<mask>y uses stories, memories and family conversations to make subtle, powerful paintings. Many of these memories are pulled from her childhood, and most centre around Slave Lake, the small town in Northern Alberta where she grew up. What emerges from the canvas are cloud-like pictures, isolated moments and constellations of ambiguous but connected associations.In addition to the strong colours, what is most remarkable about Draney’s work is the expanse of raw or empty canvas. These blank spaces reflect her (and our) inability to recall everything. Draney subjects her own memory to the test, painting only what she can remember: fleeting flashes of actions and events, glimmers of people and moments. Draney offers the following explanation for this way of working:It's about the uncertainty of memory, when you remember something one time and then you remember it another time and other parts get informed and replaced and changed. I also think it's about things we're not supposed to talk about, or things that aren't my business to talk about--about a story I may not have the authority to tell. Those are things that may not necessarily be available to the viewer but that are part of my process. Part of my hesitation in answering questions about my paintings is because I think a lot about how much I should disclose about the specifics of narrative.It feels a little heavy-handed or dramatic to say this, but I’m trying to cultivate desire. If I confirm it for you, you can put it to bed. And if I tell you you’re wrong, then I’ve pushed you out and said you don’t understand it, you’re not invited in.While many of her subjects seem banal, they allude to a broader and stronger undercurrent of destruction and loss: the devastating 1988 flood and 2011 fire of Slave Lake, and the effects of the Indian Act, residential schools, band membership, and Bill C-31 on Draney’s life and work. The image of a tent features in many of her paintings. It is a reference to both the temporary housing that the community of Slave Lake endured following the area’s recent natural disasters, and to the contemporary political movements to occupy space, such as Idle No More, Chief Theresa Spence’s encampment in Ottawa, and Edmonton's tent city, to name just a few. Awards
In 2009 Draney was announced as the first-place winner of the 11th Annual Royal Bank of Canada's (RBC) Canadian Painting Competition for her painting titled Aim is Important, a sparse compelling painting. For her first-place finish, Draney received $25 000 and her piece was added to RBC's private art collection.Honourable Mention's included Martin Golland and Sasha Pierce both from Toronto. In 2013 Draney was on the longlist for the Sobey Art Award, and in 2016 was the finalist representing Prairies and the North As one five regional finalists, her work was presented in an exhibition at National Gallery of Canada, and was featured on CBC radio's  IDEAS episode with producer Mary Lynk. In 2014 she won the Eldon and Anne Foote Visual Arts Prize, worth $10,000 for her painting Suspend.

Early years
<mask> <mask> was born in Eyin in the Elisabethpol Governorate of the Russian Empire, which is now in Gubadly District of Azerbaijan on 4 April 1900. According to his memoir Road of life (Həyat yolu), <mask> was born in a farmer family. He was raised by his father's uncle, Allahverdi.He received education in Allahverdi's Mullah house, but was sent to a Russian school in Gubadly on 1912. When he was 16, Armenian forces occupied <mask>'s birthplace and his family became a refugee. They settled in Gubadly, Kaziyan, Saryl, Aghaly and other nearby settlements.

Writing career

The series cover numerous events, characters through artistic imagery. There is no such series in the Azerbaijani literature. Shamo has a complex artistic environment. Artistic genius has a spontaneous importance in the novel, largely dependent on the forms of reality that take place directly in the writer's imagination.That is why, in the novel, the artistic principles of socialist realism are essentially intertwined with the writer's imagination. The characteristics and lifestyle of the Shehli village described in Shamo was patriarchal. <mask> expressed the issues that other Azerbaijani writers of that time, such as Najaf bey Vazirov, Abdurrahim bey Hagverdiyev, Nariman Narimanov and Jalil Mammadguluzadeh did.

<mask>  (21 February 1860 – 15 December 1952) was a prolific Welsh sculptor known for his many public memorials. As a sculptor, <mask> developed a distinctive style of his own while respecting classical traditions and forms of sculpture. He gained national attention with statues of eminent Victorians in London and Cardiff and subsequently, after both the Second Boer War and World War I, created a large number of war memorials. These included the two large group works, The Response 1914 in Newcastle upon Tyne and the Port Sunlight War Memorial which are considered the finest sculptural ensembles on any British monument. As a young man he adopted the first name Goscombe, taken from the name of a village in Gloucestershire near his mother's home. Biography

Early life and career
<mask> was born in the Canton area of Cardiff, to <mask>, a wood carver from Llantrithyd and Elizabeth, née Smith, from Randwick in Gloucestershire. As a youth <mask> assisted his father in the restoration of Cardiff Castle and Castell Coch during 1874 which was being overseen by William Burges.He initially studied in his home town, attending the Cardiff School of Art throughout the 1870s and also took anatomy classes from a local painter. <mask> went to London in 1881 and worked as a pupil-assistant in the studio of Thomas Nicholls, Burges's architectural carver. <mask> then studied at the South London School of Technical Art under Jules Dalou and William Silver Frith and then at the Royal Academy schools, where he won the gold medal and a travelling scholarship in 1887. Throughout 1890 and 1891 he travelled in Europe and Africa and, in 1891, took a studio in Paris where he studied with Auguste Rodin. In 1892 <mask> showed a statuette, Morpheus at the Paris Salon and received an honourable mention for the work. Morpheus was the first of a series of exhibition pieces by <mask> that embraced the naturalistic style of the New Sculpture movement and cemented his reputation. <mask> the Baptist, 1894, a life-sized figure cast in block tin for Lord Bute won a gold medal at the 1900 Paris Exhibition.Other notable works from this period included Girl Binding her Hair, 1893, The Elf, 1898 and A Boy at Play, 1895. A Boy at Play was subsequently purchased by the Chantrey Bequest for the Tate. <mask> received gold medals from the Paris Salon in 1892 and, for his statue of the Duke of Devonshire, in 1901. Major works
By the early 1900s <mask> had established himself as a sculptor of some note and began to receive significant public commissions. Although based in London, <mask> won a number of large commissions in his native Wales. These included his 1916 marble St David Blessing the People for Cardiff City Hall. He designed the Hirlas Horn for the 1898 National Eisteddfod of Wales and a set of ceremonial tools to mark the building of the National Museum Wales in Cardiff.His statue of the shipping magnate and philanthropist <mask> was erected in Cathays Park in the centre of Cardiff and is one of several statues by <mask> in the Park. <mask> received a further number of national and international commissions, including several for war memorials. <mask>'s 1905 King's Regiment Boer War memorial in St John's Gardens, Liverpool depicts two soldiers of the regiment from different historical periods, one from the 17th century and one from the Boer War period, around a figure of Britannia on a pedestal. <mask> created a similar representation of a regiment's heroic traditions for the 1924 Royal Welch Fusiliers memorial at Wrexham which features statues of 18th and 20th century soldiers. On the reverse of the Liverpool monument is a sculpture featuring a regimental drummer boy of 1743. This was subsequently cast as a separate, small bronze in an edition for the retail market and became a popular purchase while a monumental version was also cast and is held by the National Museum Wales. <mask> was commissioned by Lord Leverhulme to design a memorial at Port Sunlight to the 500 plus employees of Lever Brothers Ltd who had died in the First World War.<mask> exhibited a variety of sketches and maquettes for the memorial at the Royal Academy in 1919 and 1920 but left the final selection of figures to Leverhulme. The monument consists of a cross on an octagonal base on an elevated podium. There are large bronze sculptural groups with a total of 11 figures and 12 relief panels on the podium. The main sculpture group shows three soldiers, one shielding a child and one lying wounded with a figure of a nurse approaching him. The sculptural group on the rear of the podium consists of a mother figure with infants and other children. The relief panels on the podium sides show pairs of children carrying wreaths plus panels showing combat scenes including machine gunners in a trench and action stations on the bridge of a warship. The monument was greatly praised for its depiction of military and civilian roles, Nicholas Pevsner described the monument as "genuinely moving and avoids sentimentality".The Port Sunlight memorial was unveiled in 1921, two years before <mask>'s Northumberland Fusiliers Memorial was erected in Newcastle upon Tyne. Known as "The Response 1914" the monument was commissioned to mark the raising of four battalions of volunteers by the local Chamber of Commerce at the start of World War I. In bronze, <mask> created a procession of deep-relief figures representing the volunteers and those they were leaving behind. The procession is led  a winged angel, an allegory of renown, blowing a horn above two drummer boys followed by uniformed soldiers and men in civilian clothes, some of whom are saying goodbye to women and children. Although created several years after the end of the war, the monument illustrates the mood of patriotic confidence and resolve that had marked a period at the start of the conflict ten years earlier and makes the work deeply poignant. Writing in 1991, Alan Borg, a former director of the Imperial War Museum described the Port Sunlight and Newcastle memorials as the finest sculptural ensembles on any British monument. Personal life
<mask> was made a Royal Academician in 1909, was knighted in 1911, and became a corresponding member of the Institut de France.He first exhibited at the Royal Academy in London in 1886 and continued to do so annually until 1948. In 1942 he was awarded the gold medal of the Royal Society of Sculptors. <mask> was influential in the development of the National Museum of Wales, having served on its governing council for over forty years and donated numerous art works to the Museum. In August 1890, <mask> married the Swiss-born Marthe Weiss. Their daughter Muriel married Frederick Luke Val Fildes, the son of the artist Sir Luke Fildes. From 1892 <mask> lived at Greville Road, Kilburn, London (in a house that had previously belonged to Seymour Lucas), and is buried in Hampstead Cemetery. The memorial statue of his wife, which he designed when she died in 1923, was stolen from the cemetery in 2001 and recovered after a few months; it was then put into storage, but was stolen again in 2007.Public monuments and memorials

"Montana Fix, from the Gunnelpumpers [is] instrumental music of the highest order...the record is intense, moody, introspective, groovy, transcendent, atmospheric, mind-expanding... a great collection of grooves that roam across the sonic horizon...the collective vibe of this group is stunning...inspired! ", says JimmyDumps.com review. "...each and every second is interesting and provocative," says babysue.com review on Montana Fix. Bill Meyer (Chicago Reader) on The Spirit at Bell's:
"Golombisky and Daniel Thatcher, are equally essential to the album's novel sound. The two double bassists fill the space between Robinson's adroit, graceful maneuvers and Bennington's loose grooves and colorful fills with a rich assortment of tightly woven walking lines, darting solo forays, and out-of-tempo strums." "...as the brainchild of bassist, composer and conductor <mask>y, TMO (as they're known)... the result is quite the aural and visual amusement, simultaneously artistic and intriguing. One minute they're pumping out a big-band sound before a completely natural-sounding Afrobeat

 seamlessly shakes its way into the ensemble.A playful yet serious blending of genres makes TMO an un-intimidating way to expose oneself to classical and traditional jazz blended with elements of rock. A word of caution: just sit back and enjoy it — because if you spend too much time trying to identify all the sounds, you'll just end up lost in the richness of it all." (Appearing as part of the Around the Coyote Fall Festival)
– Jen Fischer (ChicagoInnerview)

Brad Walseth (jazzchicago.net) on Zing! 's Magnetic Flux:
"...bassist Golombisky and drummer Kirchner form a formidable tandem, anchoring these quickly mutating pieces while aggressively propelling them forward...it's as though a lunar explorer from Earth landed on a beach on some alien world with its enclosed package of musical samples melted together during the descent, warped it's true, but still clearly recognizable as music." Lucky 7s Farragut is #10 on the 2006 WNUR Top 50 Records

Avant Music News, Best of 2013, Honorable Mention for Montana Fix by Gunnelpumpers. "...alles echt, erdig und rhythmisch...wer spaB an instrumenten und ungewohnten kombis hat, kommt hier auf seine kosten...", says NONPOP review on Montana Fix. Hilary Matheson (Daily Inter Lake) reports on IfCM with Golombisky teaching improvisation: here.Chris Peterson (Hungry Horse News) reports on IfCM with Golombisky "igniting a new creative vibe...": here. Neil Tesser (Chicago Reader) on Tomorrow Music Orchestra:
"In his thoughtfully crafted written passages, Golombisky employs this large palette with unusual care, mixing the colors sparingly and with a painterly attention to shadow and light, but individual voices carry through even during full-group improvisations." Jay Collins (Signal To Noise magazine #45) on Farragut:
"Special mention must be given to Golombisky for his riveting 'It's Something to Try. For now, at least' [tune]...with its beautiful, yet raucous energy..."

Peter Margasak (Chicago Reader) on Darts & Arrows record "...they work hard to create a detailed ensemble setting, shaping unobtrusive grooves and harmonic shapes with the same restraint the guitarist applies to his melodic extrapolations." Bruce Lee Gallanter (Downtown Music Gallery) on The Spirit at Bell's:
"For this fine disc, Bennington hooks up with clarinet legend Perry Robinson plus strong two acoustic bassists...starts with both bassists strumming and plucking together cerebrally, slowly building as the clarinet quietly enters...both bassists do a fine job of providing the flow of events as they unfold and move in waves together...there is something natural and unforced about the way this disc evolves...it just feels right and feels good..."

Neil Tesser (Chicago Reader) on Zing! 's Magnetic Flux:
"On its debut disc, Magnetic Flux (released this summer), Golombisky hits the ground dancing: the opening track, "Boo Boo Bah Bah," jumps to his electric-bass countermelody, doubled by guitarist Dave Miller." Filmmaker Amy Peters: "I needed music.Only a few things would work for the specific feel I was going for. It just so happened that I got some discs to review for my feature documentary and one musician had already stood out as being a possibility. <mask>y. Bingo. He not only had the PERFECT score on his sound resume, but he is super cool enough to let me use it!" Vern (JazzWrap) on Zing! 's Magnetic Flux:
"'Afterwords' displays this richly through the what could almost be journey walking down a New Orleans street in the aftermath.The basslines from Golombisky are haunting and easily detached you from session to fill you emotions of sorrow and the hope that follows." Michael Nastos (All Music Guide) on Zing! 's Magnetic Flux:
"A group that seemingly is capable of anything, it's remarkable what they have accomplished here, considering it's their debut recording... Zing! sounds poised to make big waves on the contemporary music landscape." Forrest Dylan Bryant (JazzTimes magazine) on Pluto Junkyard Jan/Feb 2007 issue: "...live and raw. Neatly balancing abstraction with fat, chewy grooves, the band gleefully stomps through compositions pulling back occasionally for stark atmospherics or somber ensemble sections." Grego Edwards (Cadence Magazine) on Farragut Feb '07:
"The ensemble plays a raucous, yet controlled form of Jazz that has some of the joy of old New Orleans style yet is thoroughly Post-Bop in its inflections...this is modern ensemble Jazz of the highest caliber.Grab this one!" Bill Meyer (DownBeat magazine) on Farragut March 2007:
"...one moment their attractive melodies coast on vigorously swinging rhythms, the next they tumble in a free improv freefall." 3 1/2 stars

Debi Winston Bruzil (Yoga Chicago) on Darts & Arrows:
"...'Whispers' is a lovely haunting song with a slow and steady pace. Listening to it makes my heart open and soar." Jay Collins (Signal To Noise) on Pluto Junkyard Spring 2007:
"It's a simply excellent album...beautiful, yet raucous energy." Artist profile on Gapers Block by Laura Mayer, Oct. 24, 2008

Antigravity (New Orleans magazine) article on QMRplus' Robin Boudreaux about his New Symphonics for Jeremy, with Golombisky on bass, June 2008

Jason (Live New Orleans) on a Grilly Biggs show, Feb '05:
"I'm not a fan of the five or six stringed bass.Just like I'm not fond of the hydrogen bomb. I think the human race can do enough damage with the atomic bomb...bassists should be able to anchor the music and create melodies with just four strings. But, I've seen the five or six string fall into the hands of musicians who used its wider range of tones for no good reason. They produced superfluous notes that cluttered the music. After Grilly Biggs bassist Golombisky's six string performance, my phobia is waning. ...luckily, [he] kept his lines simple. He copied the sparse melodies of vibraphonist <mask>on, or he created a quick succession of notes that drummers...built on... while his supersonic strumming created the hint for a freakout.A wonderful caucophony. Grilly Biggs were masters of space." Jason (Live New Orleans) on a Red Shift show, June '05:
"...of course, the challenge of the music and the amount of focus that's sometimes needed while listening to Jazz is the fun of it when you get it, when you can let go and roll with it. That apprehension disappeared when the Golombisky and McClimon started moving in exactly the same directions." Jason (Live New Orleans) on a Red Shift show, June '05:

<mask> (; 7 July 184321 January 1926) was an Italian biologist and pathologist known for his works on the central nervous system. He studied medicine at the University of Pavia (where he later spent most of his professional career) between 1860 and 1868 under the tutelage of Cesare Lombroso. Inspired by pathologist Giulio Bizzozero, he pursued research in the nervous system. His discovery of a staining technique called black reaction (sometimes called Golgi's method or Golgi's staining in his honour) in 1873 was a major breakthrough in neuroscience. Several structures and phenomena in anatomy and physiology are named for him, including the Golgi apparatus, the Golgi tendon organ and the Golgi tendon reflex. Golgi and the Spanish biologist Santiago Ramón y Cajal were jointly given the Nobel Prize in Physiology or Medicine 1906 "in recognition of their work on the structure of the nervous system". Biography
<mask> was born on 7 July 1843 in the village of Corteno near Brescia, in the province of Brescia (Lombardy), at the time Kingdom of Lombardy–Venetia, today Italy.The village is now named Corteno Golgi in his honour. His father <mask> was a physician and district medical officer, originally from Pavia. In 1860, he entered the University of Pavia to study medicine, and earned his medical degree in 1865. He did an internship at the San Matteo Hospital (now IRCCS Policlinico San Matteo Foundation). During his internship he briefly worked as a civil physician in the Italian Army, and as assistant surgeon at the Novara Hospital (now Azienda Ospedaliero Universitaria Maggiore della Carità di Novara). At the same time he was also involved in the medical team for investigating cholera epidemic in villages around Pavia. In 1867, he resumed his academic study under the supervision of Cesare Lombroso.Lombroso was a renowned scientist in medical psychology such as genius, madness and criminality. Inspired by Lombroso, <mask> wrote a thesis on the etiology of mental disorders, from which he obtained his M.D. in 1868. He became more interested in experimental medicine, and started attending the Institute of General Pathology headed by Giulio Bizzozero. Three years his junior, Bizzozero was an eloquent teacher and experimenter, who specialised in histology of the nervous system and the properties of bone marrow. The most important research publications of <mask> were directly or indirectly influenced by Bizzozero. The two became so close that they lived in the same building; and <mask> later married Bizzozero's niece, Lina Aletti.By 1872, <mask> was an established clinician and histopathologist. He, however, had no opportunity as a tenured professor in Pavia to pursue teaching and research in neurology. Financial pressure prompted him to join the Hospital of the Chronically Ill (Pio Luogo degli Incurabili) in Abbiategrasso, near Milan, as Chief Medical Officer in 1872. To continue research, he set up a simple laboratory on his own in a refurbished hospital kitchen, and it was there that he started making his most notable discoveries. His major achievement was the development of staining technique for nerve tissue called the black reaction (later the Golgi's method). He published his major works between 1875 and 1885 in the journal Rivista sperimentale di Freniatria e di medicina legale. In 1875, he joined the faculty of histology at the University of Pavia.In 1879, he was appointed Chair of Anatomy at the University of Siena. But the next year, he returned to the University of Pavia as full Professor of histology. From 1879 he also became Professor of General Pathology as well as Honorary Chief (Primario ad honorarem) at the San Matteo Hospital. He served as Rector of the University of Pavia twice, first between 1893 and 1896, and second between 1901 and 1909. During the First World War (1914–1917), he directed the military hospital Collegio Borrmeo at Pavia. He retired in 1918 and continued to research in his private laboratory till 1923. He died on 21 January 1926.Personal life

<mask> and his wife Lina Aletti had no children, and they adopted <mask>'s niece Carolina. <mask> was irreligious in his later life and became an agnostic atheist. One of his former students attempted an unsuccessful deathbed conversion on him. Contributions

Black reaction or Golgi's staining

The Central nervous system was difficult to study during <mask>'s time because the cells were hard to identify. The available tissue staining techniques were useless for studying nervous tissue. While working as chief medical officer at the Hospital of the Chronically Ill, he experimented with metal impregnation of nervous tissue, using mainly silver (silver staining). In early 1873, he discovered a method of staining nervous tissue that would stain a limited number of cells at random in their entirety.He first treated the tissue with potassium dichromate to harden it, and then with silver nitrate. Under the microscope, the outline of the neuron became distinct from the surrounding tissue and cells. The silver chromate precipitate, as a reaction product, selectively stains only some cellular components randomly, sparing other cell parts. The silver chromate particles create a stark black deposit on the soma (nerve cell body) as well as on the axon and all dendrites, providing an exceedingly clear and well-contrasted picture of neuron against a yellow background. This makes it easier to trace the structure of the nerve cells in the brain for the first time. Since cells are selective stained in black, he called the process la reazione nera ("the black reaction"), but today it is called Golgi's method or the Golgi stain. On 16 February 1873, he wrote to his friend Niccolò Manfredi:

His discovery was published in the Gazzeta Medica Italiani on 2 August 1873.Nervous system

In 1871, a German anatomist Joseph von Gerlach postulated that the brain is a complex "protoplasmic network", in the form of a continuous network called the reticulum. Using his black reaction, Golgi could trace various regions of the cerebro-spinal axis, clearly distinguishing the different nervous projections, namely axon from the dendrites. He drew up a new classification of cells on the basis of the structure of their nervous prolongation. He described an extremely dense and intricate network, composed of a web of intertwined branches of axons coming from different cell layers ("diffuse nervous network"). This network structure, which emerges from the axons, is essentially different from that hypothesized by Gerlach. It was the main organ of the central nervous system according to Golgi. Thus, Golgi presented the reticular theory which states that the brain is a single network of nerve fibres, and not of discrete cells.Although <mask>'s earlier works between 1873 and 1885 clearly depicted the axonal connections of cerebellar cortex and olfactory bulb as independent of one another, his later works including the Nobel Lecture showed the entire granular layer of the cerebellar cortex occupied by a network of branching and anastomosing nerve processes. This was due to his strong conviction in the reticular theory. <mask>'s theory was challenged by Ramón y Cajal, who used the same technique developed by Golgi. According to Ramón y Cajal's neurone theory, the nervous system is but a collection of individual cells, the neurones, which are interconnected to form a network. In addition to this, <mask> was the first to give clear descriptions of the structure of the cerebellum, hippocampus, spinal cord, olfactory lobe, as well as striatal and cortical lesions in a case of chorea. In 1878, he also discovered a receptor organ that senses changes in muscle tension, and is now known as Golgi tendon organ or Golgi receptor; and Golgi-Mazzoni corpuscles (pressure transductors). He further developed a stain specific for myelin (a specialised membrane which wraps around the axon) using potassium dichromate and mercuric chloride.Using this he discovered the myelin annular apparatus, often called the horny funnel of Golgi-Rezzonico. Kidney
<mask> studied kidney function during 1882 to 1889. In 1882, he published his observations on the mechanism of renal hypertrophy, which he understood to be due to renal cell proliferation. In 1884, he described tubular cell mitoses in the kidney of a person suffering from tubulointerstitial nephritis, and he noted that the process was an essential part of repairing the kidney tissue. He was the first to dissect out intact nephrons, and show that the distal tubulus (loop of Henle) of the nephron returns to its originating glomerulus, a finding that he published in 1889 ("Annotazioni intorno all'Istologia dei reni dell'uomo e di altri mammifieri e sull'istogenesi dei canalicoli oriniferi". Rendiconti R. Acad. Lincei 5: 545–557, 1889).Malaria
A French Army physician Charles Louis Alphonse Laveran discovered that malaria was caused by microscopic parasite (now called Plasmodium falciparum) in 1880. But scientists were sceptical until <mask> intervened. It was <mask> who helped him prove that malarial parasite was a microscopic protozoan. From 1885, Golgi studied the malarial parasite and its transmission. He established two types of malaria, tertian and quartan fevers caused by Plasmodium vivax and Plasmodium malariae respectively. In 1886, he discovered that malarial fever (paroxysm) was produced by the asexual stage in the human blood (called erythocytic cycle, or Golgi cycle). In 1889–1890, <mask> and Ettore Marchiafava described the differences between benign tertian malaria and malignant tertian malaria (the latter caused by P. falciparum).By 1898, along with Giovanni Battista Grassi, Amico Bignami, Giuseppe Bastianelli, Angelo Celli and Marchiafava, he confirmed that malaria was transmitted by Anopheline mosquito. Cell organelle

An organelle in eukaryotice cells now known as Golgi apparatus or Golgi complex, or sometimes simply as Golgi, was discovered by <mask> <mask>. Golgi modified his black reaction using osmium dichromate solution with which he stained the nerve cells (Purkinje cells) of the cerebellum of an owl. He noticed thread-like networks inside the cells and named them apparato reticolare interno (internal reticular apparatus). Recognising them to be unique cellular components, he presented his discovery before the Medical-Surgical Society of Pavia in April 1898. After the same was confirmed by his assistant Emilio Veratti, he published it in the Bollettino della Società medico-chirurgica di Pavia. However, most scientists disputed his discovery as nothing but a staining artefact.Their microscopes were not powerful enough to identify the organelles. By the 1930s, <mask>'s description was largely rejected. It was only firmly established 50 years after its discovery, when electron microscopes were developed. Awards and legacy
<mask>, together with Santiago Ramón y Cajal, received the Nobel Prize in Physiology or Medicine in 1906 for his studies of the structure of the nervous system. In 1900 he was named senator by King Umberto I. In 1913 he became foreign member of the Royal Netherlands Academy of Arts and Sciences. He received honorary doctorates from the University of Cambridge, University of Geneva, Kristiania University College, National and Kapodistrian University of Athens, and Paris-Sorbonne University.In 1994, the European Community commemorated him with postage stamps. Monuments in Pavia

In Pavia several landmarks stand as <mask>'s memory. A marble statue, in a yard of the old buildings of the University of Pavia, at N.65 of the central "Strada Nuova". On the basement, there is the following inscription in Italian language: "Camillo Golgi / patologo sommo / della scienza istologica / antesignano e maestro / la segreta struttura / del tessuto nervoso / con intenta vigilia / sorprese e descrisse / qui operò / qui vive / guida e luce ai venturi / MDCCCXLIII – MCMXXVI" (<mask> Golgi / outstanding pathologist / of histological science / precursor and master / the secret structure / of the nervous tissue / with strenuous effort / discovered and described / here he worked / here he lives / here he guides and enlightens future scholars / 1843 – 1926). "<mask>’s home", also in Strada Nuova, at N.77, a few hundreds meters away from the University, just in front to the historical "Teatro Fraschini". It is the home in which Golgi spent the most of his family life, with his wife Lina. <mask>'s tomb is in the Monumental Cemetery of Pavia (viale San Giovannino), along the central lane, just before the big monument to the fallen of the First World War.It is a very simple granite grave, with a bronze medallion representing the scientist's profile. Near <mask>'s tomb, apart from his wife, two other important Italian medical scientists are buried: Bartolomeo Panizza  and Adelchi Negri. Golgi's museum was created in 2012, in the ancient Palazzo Botta of the University of Pavia at N.10 of Piazza Antoniotto Botta reconstructs the study of <mask> Golgi and its laboratories with furniture and original instruments.

Born and raised in Jefferson, Ohio, <mask> holds an accomplished wrestling background, competing at West Liberty State College in West Virginia where he was a two-time NCAA Division II Champion, a U.S. National Freestyle Wrestling All-American and also excelled at tennis, being a West Virginia College Conference Tennis Champion. Mixed martial arts career

Early career
<mask> was offered a fight in Brazil for $1,000 and an all-expenses paid trip. He accepted and made his professional debut against future PRIDE veteran Ebenezer Fontes Braga in 1998 for the International Vale Tudo organization in Brazil. The inexperienced Hinkle lost the fight by submission (triangle choke). After amassing a 12-6-1 record, with wins over Travis Fulton, Yoshihisa Yamamoto, and Jorge Rivera, <mask> was signed by the UFC.Ultimate Fighting Championship
<mask> made his UFC debut against Sean Gannon at UFC 55. Gannon, a former Boston police officer, had gained fame for defeating Kimbo Slice in an organized but unsanctioned fight that had was uploaded onto YouTube. Hinkle won the fight by TKO, but dropped his next three consecutive fights against veteran Jeff Monson, former WEC Light Heavyweight Champion Jason Lambert, and another UFC veteran, Alexandre Ferreira. Post-UFC
Hinkle then bounced back with a unanimous decision win over former PRIDE veteran Roman Zentsov before facing fellow collegiate wrestler and future UFC veteran, Chris Tuchscherer. Hinkle was knocked out by punches. In his next fight he faced UFC and Strikeforce veteran Kevin Jordan, and won by TKO. <mask> then debuted in Pancrase, but lost by submission (rear-naked choke).<mask>'s last professional fight was in 2016, in Woodward, Oklahoma, which he won by submission. |-

<mask> (August 1, 1791 – January 26, 1871) was an American academician and Hispanist, specializing in the subject areas of languages and literature. He is known for his scholarly work on the history and criticism of Spanish literature. Biography
<mask> was born on August 1, 1791 in Boston, Massachusetts. He received his early education from his father, <mask>, former headmaster of the Franklin Grammar School, a grocer, and a founder of the Massachusetts Mutual Fire Insurance Company, the system of free primary schools in Boston, and the first New England savings bank, Provident Institution for Savings. In 1805 <mask> entered the junior class at Dartmouth College, where he graduated in 1807. During the next three years he studied Latin and Greek with Rev. Dr John Sylvester John Gardiner, rector of Trinity Church, Boston, and a pupil of Dr Samuel Parr.In 1810 <mask> began the study of law, and he was admitted to the bar in 1813. He opened an office in Boston, but practiced for only one year, satisfying himself that his vocation, or at least his taste, lay in the direction of letters rather than of law. His father helped finance his studies, and <mask> traveled to Europe in 1815, studying for nearly two years at the University of Göttingen. He attended the lectures of the university and devoted himself to philological studies, especially to the ancient classics. After that, he remained two years longer in Europe, chiefly on the continent, spending most of his time in the capitals of France, Spain and Portugal, where he conducted critical studies of the national literatures. In 1817, while still in Europe, <mask> was selected as Smith professor of French and Spanish languages and literatures (a chair founded in 1816), and professor of belles-lettres at Harvard University. In 1819 he returned to the United States, bringing with him a valuable library.He continued to add to this, and in time, it became one of the largest private collections in the country. For the rarity and importance of the books, it was unsurpassed, in some of its departments. His collection of Spanish literature was considered to rival the best private ones in Europe, and his library was also particularly strong in Portuguese literature. <mask> was elected a Fellow of the American Academy of Arts and Sciences in 1821. During his professorship <mask> advocated the creation of departments, the grouping of students in divisions according to proficiency, and the establishment of the elective system. He reorganized his own department. He suggested improvements in the system of discipline, influenced by his studies of German universities.He greatly extended the range of intellectual culture among the students at the university, where literary instruction had been confined to the classics. He gave long, elaborate courses of lectures on French and Spanish literature. He also entered into a critical analysis of such writers as Dante, Goethe, Milton, and Shakespeare. His lectures were attended by people from outside the college, who were attracted by their interest and by <mask>'s reputation as a speaker known for his diction and delivery. In 1828, he was elected as a member to the American Philosophical Society. <mask> moved into half of the home built by Thomas Amory at the corner of Beacon and Park streets in 1829; it became known as the Amory-Ticknor House. In 1835 he resigned his chair after holding it for 15 years, and returned to Europe.In 1836, he was succeeded in the professorship at Harvard by Henry Wadsworth Longfellow. While in Europe, in June 1836, <mask> recorded a frank interview with Austrian chancellor Klemens von Metternich. After his return to Europe, <mask> devoted himself to the chief work of his life, the history and criticism of Spanish literature. It was not fully treated even in Europe, where there was no adequate study of the literature as a whole in Spanish. Both Friedrich Bouterwek and Jean Charles Leonard de Sismondi had worked with limited or secondhand resources. <mask> developed in his college lectures the scheme of his more permanent work, which he published as the History of Spanish Literature (New York and London, 3 volumes, 1849). The book addresses Spanish civilization and manners as well as its literature.The History is considered exhaustive in scholarship, and direct in style. It gives many illustrative passages from representative works, and copious bibliographical references. It was soon translated into Spanish (1851 – 1857) by Pascual de Gayangos y Arce and Enrique de Vedia; into French by Magnabal; and German by Nikolaus Heinrich Julius and Ferdinand Wolf. The second American edition appeared in 1854; the third, corrected and enlarged, in 1863; the fourth, containing the author's last revision, in 1872, under the supervision of <mask> Hillard; and the sixth in 1888. <mask> had succeeded his father as a member of the Primary School Board in 1822, and held this position until 1825. He was a trustee of the Boston Athenaeum in 1823 – 1832, and was vice-president in 1833. In addition, he was a director (1827 – 1835) and vice-president (1841 – 1862) of the Massachusetts Hospital Life Insurance Company, and a trustee of the Massachusetts General Hospital (1826 – 1830) and of the Boston Provident Institution for Savings (1838 – 1850), the bank that his father had helped to found.He was especially active in the establishment of the Boston Public Library (1852), and served in 1852 – 1866 on its board of trustees, of which he was president in 1865. He spent fifteen months abroad in 1856 – 1857, at his own expense, to collect books for it, and gave the library both money and books. He helped establish the free circulating department. He left his collection of Spanish and Portuguese books and manuscripts to the Boston Public Library, after it was famously turned down by Harvard. Family

<mask> (April 12, 1881 – April 21, 1961) was a French-Danish sculptor. He won a bronze medal for Denmark in the art competitions at the 1924 Summer Olympics for his Boxer. Biography
The fourth  child of the marriage of <mask> (1848–1903) and Mette Sophie Gad (1850–1920), <mask> was born in Paris in 1881. His family moved to Copenhagen in 1884 where his father briefly and unsuccessfully tried making a living  as a tarpaulin salesman. Six months  on, his father left Copenhagen for Paris and beyond  to pursue his life of creativity and wanderlust. <mask> last saw his father at age ten when Paul spent two weeks in Copenhagen before leaving for Tahiti. They had little communication as <mask> spoke no French at that time and his father spoke no Danish.<mask> was raised in Copenhagen by his mother Mette and maternal grandparents. Albeit from a bourgeois Danish family he was brought up in  very modest circumstances. At the age of eight he fell out a third floor window and sustained severe injuries from which he  recovered. He left school in 1895 and undertook an 11-month sailor's training program. Thereafter he apprenticed as a carpenter but hated the trade and went back to working  as a  sailor. In 1904 shortly after <mask>'s death he inherited three of his father's paintings that he immediately sold. With these funds he traveled throughout Europe, venturing as far as Greece, visiting museums and viewing monuments wherever he went.These travels initiated his long artistic career. He loved to travel and visited his birthplace, Paris, a number times learning French fluently. In 1927 he set off on an extremely long cycling tour of France. Starting in Lyon, he pedaled on to Montpellier, Lyon, Avignon, Narbonne, Toulouse, Orléans, Paris, Dunkerque, and completed the feat with a return leg all the way to Copenhagen. He visited Portugal in 1930 and visited Paris anew in 1937. Despite his wanderlust, his life and work remained rooted in Copenhagen. He was an outspoken socialist, not afraid to make his political views known.In December 1913 <mask> married Clara Federsen (1889–1966), from this marriage was born a son Pierre Sylvester. They settled at Nyhavn 33, Copenhagen but later separated. He married a  second time 1935 with cartoonist Sys Poulsen (1909–1999) and from this union was born <mask> in 1937. He is buried with a simple gravestone in the Vor Frelser cemetery in Copenhagen. His work
<mask> <mask> was an active and prolific ceramist and sculptor from 1910 until shortly before his death in 1961. His ceramic  production pieces were made in collaboration with Sleiss of Gmunden (Austria), Bing & Grøndahl, Copenhagen and Manufacture nationale de Sèvres. His earliest works were wood carvings however these rapidly evolved into bronze castings of athletes, dancers, centaurs, and classically inspired male and female torsos.In 1921 he traveled to Gmunden, Austria and worked at the Sleiss Factory  where he created tin glazed ceramic figures. As of 1923 he started  working  for the Bing and Grondahl ceramic studios for whom  he continued creating new models throughout his life. His first major sculpture was a Boxer ( col. Statens Museum for Kunst) created in 1922 for the 1924 Paris Olympics. For this work the Olympic committee awarded him a bronze medal following a competition held at the Grand Palais in Paris. <mask> <mask> exhibited several works created for B§G at the seminal 1925 Paris 'Exposition Internationale des Arts Décoratifs'. His large stoneware sculptural groups with themes from mythology  won him critical acclaim and an article in the October issue of the influential revue 'Art et Décoration'. For these works he was awarded the 'Grand Prix de la Ceramique' .He equally showed a  massive silver guild hall chalice created in collaboration  with Georg Jensen and Anton Rosen. In 1927 he worked as guest artist at the Sèvres porcelain works. Around this time  he  received a  commission  to  create a sculpture for the Jardin des Tuileries. Referred to as La Fontaine de Chine, no sign of this structure exists today and its whereabouts remain a mystery. On April 6, 1932, <mask> <mask> leapt off a ten-meter diving board into the gigantic swimming pool of the resort town of Havested. This was a fitting way to inaugurate his largest work, Sea Horse. An enormous stoneware structure built in this studios of  Bing § Grondahl, Sea Horse was a remarkable undertaking.Inspired by the myths of Europa and Poseidon, it dominated a massive public swimming pool where it was totally destroyed by a falling scaffolding on June 14, 1952. Throughout the 1930s and 1940s, his work continued to alternate between two principal mediums, bronze and stoneware. On the one hand he produced stylized athletes and animals cast in bronze. Alongside these he expressed  his fascination with the sea and its myths and it's monsters creating  a fascinating ceramic opus of tritons, nereids, underwater creatures, octopuses, and unusual depictions of the horses of Poseidon. The production pieces he created for Bing § Grondahl were executed in polychrome glazed stoneware or porcelain for the smaller figures. Expressive monkeys, water buffaloes, tigers and lions in ceramic form also populated his universe. In his studio pieces he often opted for rough surfaced  unglazed  stoneware, witness his impressive urns with Chinese inspired temple dogs as lid handles.In the 1950s, his ceramics became inspired from pre-Columbian Peru home of his paternal grandmother. He created a series of bottle shapes incorporating sculptural depictions. In the last year of his life these evolved into a surreal series of screaming agonizing ceramic vessels. In interviews with journalists he clearly stated that his namesake had been  a hindrance to his career. Although his work would never become a pillar of modern art like his father's, his oeuvre was totally original and not a pastiche based on a recognizable name. He expressed that bearing the Gauguin name had been a barrier to museums and art critiques accepting his work seriously. His work interpreted the vibrant bright color spectrum used by Scandinavian painters of the early years of the 20th century onto stoneware.His formal language created a rapprochement between the erotic and the fantastic. In his depiction of an underwater world he excelled in the illustration of the phantasmagorical and the grotesque. His technical prowess with glazed figural stoneware remains unparalleled to this day as were his experiments in polychrome glaze work. Paienne cultures as diverse of China and Peru were amongst his many sources of inspiration. With his mastery of the human figure he brought to life musicians, storytellers, athletes, dancers, and jockeys, and his capture of animal movement vitalized a whole menagerie of beasts, real and imagined.
